The cast of Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens just wrapped a special (nearly three hour long) Twitter Q&A with fans. Participants from the cast were Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong'o, and Gwendoline Christie, as well as director JJ Abrams and producer and Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy. We've got highlights from the Q&A below (unfortunately, due to Twitter's new "quoting" feature you can see the question posed in the tweet, only links to them! You'll have to click through if you want to see the question. Wish it was otherwise).
