"Well, this is, this is, like, momentous, you know, John Williams conducting his Star Wars music," Abrams told CBS News.
"I mean, as a fan, I can't even believe I get to be here."
Well as the director he has every right, obviously, and he is soon stuck into the mechanics of making the music and film footage work together in a particualr scene.
"We may need to make the 'bum ba da ba da', repeat those bars just because it might, it might be a little bit longer before we get into the interior of the transport," Abrams tells Williams.

The footage also reveals Abrams stress over the monumental responsiblity of bring the iconic franchise back to the big screen.
The director has admitted that he first saw the original Star Wars when he was 11 and never outgrew his passion for the film.
Now, the hopes and dreams of millions of fans rest on his shoulders.
"There are moments of abject terror when we all think about what we've taken on," Abrams tells the 60 Minutes team.
No pressure, then...

The short video is the preview for a full-length special on US current affairs program 60 Minutes.

It was filmed six weeks before the blockbuster's release and gives an incredible insight into the practicalities and pressures of creating such a huge film franchise.

Abrams previously directed the last two Star Trek films to great acclaim, but teh Star Wars series is a completely new level of pressure and expectation.

Composer John Williams doesn't seem too overwhelmed by it all - but then he has an unbelievable track record in the industry.

 

The 83-year-old has composed the soundtracks for a jaw-dropping number of teh most famous films of teh last 50 years.

Williams created the music for all the previous films in the Star Wars series, which might be enough for most people.

Not him. The film legend also composed the iconic soundtrack to the first two Jaws films, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, the Indiana Jones series, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Superman, the first two Home Alone films, Hook, the first three Harry Potter films, Catch Me If You Can and the first two Jurassic Park films.

Blimey.

He can also do serious dramas, with Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, Memoirs of a Geisha, War Horse, and Lincoln under his belt.

Somehow we doubt he is feeling too much 'abject terror' right now.

Nor do we have any worries that Abrams will triumph when teh film hits cinemas next week.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens in UK cinemas on December 17.
