LOS ANGELES -- The final film in the epic "Star Wars" trilogy of trilogies brought Hollywood to a standstill Monday, as a galaxy of VIPs from the space saga that began four decades ago descended on a glittering world premiere.

"Tonight, looking at this whole mise-en-scene is quite bewildering," Anthony Daniels, who has played droid C-3PO in every main "Star Wars" film, told AFP. Analysts predict a stellar $200 million to $225 million at domestic box offices this weekend, which would put the film among the biggest openings in movie history.

"If you just consider the global base of fans that have worshipped this storytelling since 1977, over 40 years... tonight being a culmination of nine films is an incredibly important night."Heading the glitzy premiere were the new film's young stars Daisy Ridley, John Boyega and Oscar Isaac. And Abrams had to cope with the death of Carrie Fisher, whose iconic Princess Leia was set for a central role in the finale. Leia will instead appear using unused, re-cut footage from Abrams' last film.

A second saw the villainous Kylo Ren growl, "I know who you are. I know the rest of your story," sending fans abuzz over the long-standing mystery about heroine Rey's parents.These are familiar tropes to "Star Wars" aficionados -- but it may be the last time they are seen for years.
