In the name of continuity, he will need to see this movie in advance and also work with director Rian Johnson for some inputs.
Trevorrow told Empire in a podcast interview that he normally enjoys the "Star Wars" experience like any regular moviegoer. He lined up and watched "Star Wars: Episode 7 — The Force Awakens" when it came out in theaters in 2015.
