Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens

"The partnership with the story group and the editorial team always had to be true to the sanctity of the film while making sure that we find these moments to introduce hints, clues, and puzzle pieces."

―Andrew Sugerman, executive vice president of Disney Publishing Worldwide^[src]
