Yahoo! Movies has reported that J. J. Abrams has finished the final cut of Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens – 28 days before the release of the movie, to boot. Abrams recently discussed this at a recent event (Celebrity Nerd-Off) with Stephen Colbert, which got thunderous applause from the audience (and Colbert himself).
