Ridley continued: “It's quite emotional.
“There's a different drive than the previous two films, but there's a lot of fun.
“I really missed John [Boyega] during the last one, but we're back together and now Oscar [Isaac] is part of it.
“To me, it felt like kids going on an adventure.”

Speaking with Good Morning America at Star Wars Celebration, Abrams said: “I will say that we knew going into to this, that this movie, it had to be a satisfying conclusion.”
He added: “And we are well aware that that’s one of the things that’s sorta been out there.
“I don’t want to say that what happens in Episode VIII…y’know, we have honoured that.
“But I will say that there’s more to the story than you see.”
