J.J. Abrams & George Lucas Buddy Up at 'Star Wars' Premiere!

George Lucas gives photographers the thumbs up while hitting the red carpet with J.J. Abrams at the Star Wars: The Force Awakens premiere held at the Dolby Theatre on Monday (December 14) in Hollywood.

The two Star Wars directors were joined at the event by Steven Spielberg and his wife Kate Capshaw, Colin Trevorrow, Rob Lowe and his wife Sheryl Berkoff with their two boys John Owen and Matthew Edward, Kathleen Kennedy and producer Frank Marshall, J.J.‘s wife Katie McGrath, and chief executive officer of The Walt Disney Company, Bob Iger.

J.J. recently opened up on if the pressure of the film is getting to him.

“Sure, but here we are. It’s like I’m standing at the doorway of the airplane door and we’re about to open the door,” J.J. told the LA Times. “Do I hope the parachute opens? Yes. But every time I feel remotely paralyzed by the noise or anticipation or expectation of it, I just look at the work I’ve seen done and I’m just grateful.”

FYI: J.J. is wearing Aldo shoes.
