Get a spoiler-free Star Wars fix with the best bits from The Force Awakens premiere
You may have noticed the Star Wars: The Force Awakens premiere was last night. Now that the lucky few have seen the movie, the danger is they'll spoil it for the rest of us, but don't panic. You can get your Star Wars fix (minus the spoilers) with our round-up of the best bit from the premiere. Celebrities in cosplay, droids on the red carpet, and fans getting an unexpected surprise are just a few of the reasons why it was a night to remember. Warning: jealousy might ensue...

Carrie Fisher interviewed Oscar Isaac on the red carpet. The best bit is when Isaac shouts: “I was inspired and researched!”
Attendees got to make their own droids at the after party. Jealous!
