Star Wars: The Force Awakens - fans wait will be over

'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' is ready for release - it is due to be shown publicly for the first time in Los Angeles on Monday and will premiers in London on 16 December. Hectic preparations are in their closing stages for the premiere of one of the most-awaited sequels in cinema history. The film is the seventh in the series and the first which, apart from his role in creating some characters, does not involve George Lucas.
This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 14 December 2015.

The film's stars, including the original 1977 cast members Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford, are expected to join director and co-writer J J Abrams on the red carpet at one of the three cinemas showing it. There are a new generation of actors also in the cast - many of them British. They are Daisy Ridley, John Boyega and Andy Serkis.
The precise venue of the premieres in the USA are being kept under wraps until the last minute, but they are expected to take place at LA's TCL Chinese Theatre, the Dolby Theatre and the El Capitan Theatre.
In order to keep up the suspense, dozens of workers are busy erecting a mammoth opaque tent lining four blocks of Hollywood Boulevard. Incidentally, the TCL Chinese Theatre, one of the cinemas on the Boulevard, had hosted the premiere of the first Star Wars movie in 1977.
Needless to say, fans have been camping outside for several days to ensure they do not miss out on getting the best seat in the theatre when the movie goes on general release on Friday.
