\"STAR<\/a><\/p>\n

JJ Abrams’ sense of humor and his desire to keep things about the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens<\/strong> secret came into a bit of a conflict last night on HBO’s Last Week Tonight With John Oliver<\/em>.<\/p>\n

On the weekly satirical news show, Oliver did a piece about a new bit of technology designed to help salmon return upstream to their spawning ground when their way is blocked by something man-made like a hydroelectric damn – a salmon cannon. He than shows off his own, homemade cannon by launching fish at former colleagues, other late night show hosts, NBA stars, Tom Hanks and more. <\/p>\n

Ultimately, one of his targets turns out to be JJ Abrams on the set of The Force Awakens<\/strong> – interrupted while giving R2-D2 some direction. A funny moment, but one which does reveal our first look at a non-Millennium Falcon<\/em> interior set for the film. Given that across the Star Wars<\/strong> saga we’ve always seen the interiors of the good guy’s ships as white and gleaming while the villains get around the galaxy in ships with a far more subdued color scheme, the black walls and floor suggests that this is probably in a hip that belongs to the latter group. We can’t say for certain that R2 will be appearing in said location. It could have been just a convenient backdrop for Abrams to shoot the bit.<\/p>\n

Here is the whole bit which is quite funny in itself, especially if you enjoy seeing famous people hit in the face with fish. (And who doesn’t?) <\/p>\n

Abrams and R2’s appearance at the 3:31 and 4:02 marks.<\/p>\n
