Harrison Ford delighted a group of fans when he made a surprise appearance at a special preview screening of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” in Australia.
Fans gathered at the Darling Harbour’s IMAX Theatre for a 10-minute sneak peek at the new film. Ford snuck into the theater as fans watched the opening minutes of the film.
When the preview was over, he stood up and promised fans there was plenty more where that came from, according to Australian publication BMag. “Let’s make a deal,” Ford said. “Don’t tell your friends what you’ve seen here today.”
Plot details of the film are being kept under tight gaurd. Disney and Lucasfilm have announced that the official review embargo for “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” will be 12:01 a.m. PST on Wednesday, Dec. 16. The film will premiere Dec. 14 in Hollywood before screening for press on Dec. 15.
In November, Ford also surprised fans when he joined them for a Skype call to promote the “Star Wars” Omaze charity campaign, Force for Change.
Ford told fans that by donating they were entered for a chance tickets for themselves and three guests each to attend the premiere of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” in either Los Angeles or London, walk the red carpet and meet the cast.
Fifteen global causes were individually chosen by J.J. Abrams, Kathleen Kennedy and the cast, which will benefit equally from the funds raised. Among the charities are UNICEF, Feeding America and Malala Fund.
