"It was a decision that was made by a few people involved in the process, Kathleen Kennedy who runs Lucas film for us, and J.J. Abrams who is directing The Force Awakens... I was gonna say Star Wars VII but now there's a new name," he said. "We are involved in the decision. We feel great about the film. We can't wait until it comes out. We are only one of many that can't wait."

Iger, showcasing his excitement for the project, added: "I love the franchise. I remember going to the first in 1977. It's an experience i will never forget. That is exactly what we are hoping to do again what the force awakens in 2015."
