When filmmaker J.J. Abrams used Twitter for the first time on Wednesday (he joined in October 2017), he gave fans another chance at direct contact with a Star Wars heavy hitter.

In his first tweet, Abrams shared the first official photo from the production of the yet-to-be-titled Star Wars Episode 9, and shared personal thoughts about George Lucas, previous Star Wars director Rian Johnson and late Star Wars actor Carrie Fisher, who'll be added to the upcoming film thanks to unseen footage.
