JJ Abrams must be feeling pretty good right now. Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens - that small, insignificant movie he directed which opened in cinemas over the world just last week - is already breaking records, and both critics (read our review of The Force Awakens here) and audiences are enjoying it quite a bit. After working on the film for the past three years, it's easy to see why Abrams decided to step back into an Executive Producer role for Episode VIII. However, it seems like that's a decision he regrets.
Speaking with The Washington Post, The Force Awakens actor Greg Gunberg revealed that when Abrams read the script for Episode VIII he "said something he never, ever says. ‘It’s so good, I wish I were making it.’ He may have said something one time on ‘Lost,’ with Damon [Lindelof, the co-creator], but I never hear him express regret like that".
