J.J. Abrams Shares His Thoughts On 'Rey' Not Being Included In STAR WARS Merchandise
For the people who were in outrage about the lack of Rey merchandise released by Disney, I'll let you know that you're not alone! Director J.J. Abrams shared your opinion, and revealed that he thinks "it doesn't make any sense" and it's "preposterous". Check it out!
Remember that #WhereIsRey movement that took place on Twitter, that eventually led to Rey being added to the Hasbro's Monopoly game? If you do, I should let you know that J.J. Abrams played a personal part in adding her to the board game. "I read that she wasn’t in the Monopoly game and was quickly making phone calls."Abrams then sarcastically added. "It doesn’t quite make sense to me why she wouldn’t be there — she’s somewhat important in the story."
Aside from the merchandise, Abrams then spoke on Star Wars: The Force Awakens' success, and revealed that he's really grateful that the movie is doing as well as it is. "I’m grateful to anyone that’s gone to see the movie, and when I hear anecdotally that people have gone seven, eight times, I just want to apologize to — I’m guessing their parents. Whatever the numbers are, honestly, I’m just so grateful that the movie is out there and been well-received." What do you think? Share you thoughts in the comment section below!
