As we celebrate the unofficial Star Wars holiday, Vanity Fair released a group of images from the new film with an exclusive interview with director JJ Abrams. Abrams explains how his idea for Jar Jar Binks would be his bones in the desert for the more devoted fans to notice. Given the overwhelming hype behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens, that includes just about everyone. I doubt it’ll be in the final movie, but let’s remember to keep an eye out for those Jar Jar bones come this Christmas.
