Yesterday, J.J. Abrams and Stephen Colbert went on a stage to host the Celebrity Nerd-Off at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center. They didn’t reveal anything new about the film itself, but they did drop one bit of news: The Force Awakens is now complete.
Yahoo Movies was there, live-tweeting it:
Abrams officially finished the final mix of Force Awakens at 2am this morning. Movie is done folks!

Among other tidbits that we learned? Less lenseflare, and that they were constantly worried about CGI taking over:

Abrams on using practical FX in Force Awakens: "I was worried about CG being our master. It was important to me that we had tangible sets."

Somewhere, there’s a new Star Wars movie just sitting on a shelf, waiting to be watched. Let’s hope Skywalker Ranch has a good security team.
