A new generation fights side by side with them, including fighter pilot Poe Dameron, former New Order stormtrooper Finn, and others.

Among his projects are the series "The Edge", "Stay Alive", "The Office", as well as "Star Trek", "Super 8", "Star Trek: Retribution" and others. At first, Abrams publicly refused to participate in the work on "Star Wars". But a little later, negotiations took place between producer Kathleen Kennedy and the director. JJ Abrams was mainly concerned about the enormous scale and cultural significance of the project. During filming, preference was given to real locations and miniatures, rather than studio green screens and computer graphics. The creators of the film "Star Wars: Episode 7" wanted to approach the original trilogy in terms of aesthetics. One of the actors, Oscar Isaac, told Abrams that his uncle is a huge Star Wars fan. As a result, the necessary preparations were made so that he could visit the set. When the director, to the great surprise of Isaac himself and his uncle, offered him to play a small role, he, of course, agreed. The creator of "Star Wars" George Lucas said that the transition from Lucasfilm to Disney provides opportunities to attract a new generation of filmmakers.
