Scores of fans went crazy over the epic new teaser trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens the moment it was unveiled on Thursday. But the man behind the legendary franchise was not one of them. Because he wasn’t watching.
On Friday, at a Tribeca Film Festival public talk event hosted by Stephen Colbert, George Lucas, who is not helming the movie, was asked about his thoughts about the new Star Wars and the video.
“I have seen the first one,” Lucas said, referring to the first, shorter teaser released in November. “I just saw what was on CBS but I’m going to try to look at it. I want to see it on the big screen.”
