‘Star Wars’ Director J.J. Abrams Gives Guillermo Exclusive Interview
On Thursday’s Jimmy Kimmel Live, Guillermo donned a Princess Leia outfit and got an exclusive first interview with Star Wars: The Force Awakens director, J.J. Abrams.
JJ Abrams Broke His Back to Save Han Solo
On Thursday’s The Daily Show, director JJ Abrams told Jon Stewart about an on-set accident that occurred while filming the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awaknes. A hydraulic door fell on Harrison Ford and when Abrams tried to lift it off, he ended up hurting (himself) more than helping.
Abrams explained to Stewart, "We were filming a scene and there was an accident on set. There was a hydraulic door that went down - he was pushed down, and his ankle goes 90 degrees...So, I'm trying to lift up this door and I feel this kind of, like, pop in my back, I'm like, 'Ugh, that's weird.' So I go to the doctor a couple days later and he goes, 'Oh, you have a broken back'. I broke my L4 trying to lift this door."
This is the same incident in which the legendary actor broke his leg back in June of last year, one that kept Ford from filming for about a month. Still, while Hans Solo made headlines for his injury, Abrams' flew under the radar. Said the director, "A few months later I'm still wearing this silly back brace under my shirt, no one knows, I didn't tell anyone, right? So I have this back brace on. Harrison Ford from across the stage sprints at me faster than I will ever run and he's like, 'Hey JJ,' I'm like, 'Hi Harrison Ford' -- oh, it hurts to talk that way, so I felt like the most nebbishly Jewish director ever."
John Boyega Had A LOT of Fun on the 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' Set
J.J. Abrams likes to keep his movies a mystery to the general public. But if you’re lucky enough to be one of his employees, strap in for a good time. The cast of Star Wars: The Force Awakens tells Yahoo Movies that they were constantly entertained while shooting the next chapter in the enduring sci-fi franchise created by George Lucas. And it’s not just because they got to play with lightsabers and fly X-Wings. According to John Boyega, who plays troubled Stormtrooper Finn, Abrams turned the set into a kind of summer camp.

“We have loads of fun,” the British actor says, revealing that for Halloween, Abrams set up a station where people could carve TIE Fighters out of pumpkins. Boyega also participated in a behind-the-scenes documentary entitled “Who Can Scare Carrie Fisher?” that we want to see, like, now. “He’s a guy that lives to have fun on set,” Boyega says, laughing. Here’s hoping they still had time to battle the Dark Side.
