• In a real-life parallel to the film Fanboys (2009), Mark Hamill and John Boyega successfully lobbied director J.J. Abrams to allow Star Wars fan Daniel Fleetwood to see the film before official release. Fleetwood had been diagnosed with terminal cancer, and was not expected to live to see the film's release date of December 15, 2015. He was shown the film at a screening in his house, after Disney agreed. Fleetwood died November 10, 2015.
• John Williams received his 50th Oscar nomination for scoring this film. He's only the second person in history to receive 50 or more nominations. The first was Walt Disney, with 59 nominations.
• When Finn and Rey ask Han if he is THE Han Solo, he replies, "I used to be," which is a reply Ford himself regularly uses when fans ask if he is Harrison Ford.
