FOX Beat: John Boyega star of Star Wars: The Force Awakens

The wait is almost over! The premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens is just days away!

FOX 5's Kevin McCarthy sat down with John Boyega, a relatively unknown actor who is one of the stars of the new film.

Boyega talked about the impact the original films had on him, his dad not knowing about Star Wars before he was cast, and how scenes with the lightsabers were shot.
