STAR STUDDED STAR WARS FORCE AWAKENS WORLD PREMIERE (SEE PICS)

  

May the force be with you! Double trouble: Actors John Boyega (L) and Lupita Nyong'o cuddled up to one another at the exciting event.

They first found fame nearly four decades ago with Star Wars: A New Hope And on Monday night Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, and Mark Hamill celebrated another landmark moment in their careers at the premiere for Star Wars: The Force Awakens held at the Dolby, El Capitan, and TCL Theatres in Hollywood on Monday evening.

In 1977 the three actors changed the world of film forever as they teamed up with George Lucas for what would be one of the most influential and lucrative cinema endeavors of all time.
And with Episode VII of the franchise hitting theatres the trio are set to break even more records, with many experts predicting the film will shatter previous world box office numbers.

This is definitely bigger than the Oscars,' one production manager told The Hollywood Reporter on Friday.

About 24 fans have been camped outside the theater for days in anticipation - each dressed up in Star Wars costumes. 

One couple in the camp was even planning on getting married there.
The premiere comes on the heels of news that Star Wars Episode VII has officially smashed the UK record for pre-sale tickets with more than 500,000 seats booked at the largest chain Odeon, according to the Guardian.

The Force Awakens opens in the UK on December 17 and in the U.S. on December 18.
