Fans lined the red carpet in costume for a glimpse of Daisy Ridley, Mark Hamill, director Rian Johnson and producer Ram Bergman – not to mention BB-8 and R2-D2.
Ahead of the premiere, the cast and crew shared a few behind-the-scenes stories and presented lightsabers to four young Jedi apprentices. They also visited Star Wars Launch Bay at Shanghai Disneyland, where they encountered Kylo Ren and caught up with C-3PO.
A processional of Stormtroopers crashed the party, but the Force prevailed and the night ended in applause.
