Harrison Ford got up on the main stage and answered some questions about Star Wars: The Force Awakens, including how it felt coming back to the Star Wars universe, whether Han Solo or Indiana Jones would be better as a comedian, his experience as a pilot helping in filming scenes and how much he likes Australia!

Even crazy battles took place! Star Wars fans Nachos and Dale Thompson took time out to fight while they attended the Star Wars: The Force Awakens fan event at Sydney Opera House.
Louise and Aideen got to hang out with Kylo Ren, Captain Phasma and a First Order Stormtrooper! Things were tense when they started using the force on the cameraman.
Rey and BB-8 were happy to take a picture with Louise and Aideen once they promised they weren’t on the Dark Side.
There were even green screen booths at the fan event where you could pose with your fave Star Wars characters, so Louise and Aideen jumped in for pics with Kylo Ren and Rey!
