In this episode of Secrets of Star Wars, Fr. Roderick and Dom talk about a number of things JJ Abrams said about Star Wars in recent interviews. We discuss his directing style, his vision of Star Wars as a more epic story than Star Trek, about the Japanese inspiration for the original trilogy, and about George Lucas’ involvement in the future.

In the second part of the discussion, the hosts speculate about a number of elements have to be part of future Star Wars movies to ensure continuity: the music, the opening of the movie, the droids, Luke, Leia, Han and Chewbacca, the Jedi, the Sith and a new villain.
