Providing an essential insight into Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the magazine also features an exclusive interview with Director J.J Abrams and the filmmaking team behind the movie.

“Getting too close to your idols, historically, is never a good thing,” Abrams told Empire. (Star Wars) was so near and dear to my heart that the idea of being involved in it, frankly, felt dangerous. But Kathy (Kennedy, producer) asked if I would meet with her anyway.

“I fully intended to once again say ‘thank you but no thank you.’ But when I heard how she wanted to do this in the most emotional, character-based and authentic way, I found myself leaning forward and, just for a moment, imagining what it would be to direct a Star Wars movie.”

Star Wars: The Force Awakens hits cinemas on 18th December 2015!

The October issue of Empire Magazine is on sale on Thursday 27th August. For more details head to www.empireonline.com.
