J.J Abrams fielded some more questions from the media regarding Star Wars (while also promoting his upcoming Stephen King project entitled 11.22.63 and Cameron Crowe's Roadies), but as you would expect, the majority of the inquiries were about Star Wars: The Force Awakens and

cultural phenomena such as alchemy, numerology, Kabbalah, and psychology was the result
of his voracious investigation
of collective
knowledge.
