Simon Pegg said that he showed this movie to his daughter while she was still three years old. Upon seeing Yoda, she was astonished by his presence and said "Daddy, he's real!" Pegg admitted that he was moved to tears by what he had just witnessed. He later shared this story with his friend J.J. Abrams, who directed Star Wars - Il risveglio della Forza (2015). During a meeting with the executives of Lucasfilm and Disney, Abrams told them Pegg's story. This had a great influence on the aesthetic of "The Force Awakens" and any subsequent Star Wars movie, which would rely more on sets, practical effects and puppetry, as opposed to the extensive use of CGI in the prequel trilogy. During the production of "The Force Awakens", when Pegg visited Pinewood Studios, a puppeteer recognized him and said "Hey, you're the guy whose daughter saved Star Wars!"
