Obi-Wan and Yoda are secretly in Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Have you already had your fill of Star Wars overload? Well, here's another tid bit you might enjoy from the Star Wars: The Force Awakens movie. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda are in the movie. Didn't catch it?

I have to say this because this is being socially responsible - If you have not seen the movie yet, then this is a complimentary SPOILER ALERT!

When Rey, played by Daisy Ridley, heard voices that lured her to the gloomy stoney basement of Maz Kanata's castle, she opened a chest and discovered a relic that will lead to the revolution of the Resistance -Luke Skywalker's light saber.

She touched Luke Skywalker's original light saber and then Rey suddenly was overcame with a vision of multiple images and sounds showing Luke Skywalker with R2-D2, dead bodies everywhere with Kylo Ren standing above them all in the rain and eventually she sees herself as a young child being dragged away to the deserts of Jakku, being left behind by her parents to Unkar Plutt the junker.

In the end, if you listen closely, you would have heard Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda's voices. 

In an exclusive interview with J.J Abrams and his screen writers Michael Arndt and Lawrence Kasdan, they revealed the meaning behind the voices.

Abrams explained that he was able to get Frank Oz, Ewan McGregor and Alec Guiness (only as a carefully edited digital version as the actor died in 2000) to do the voices in the movie. 

In the EW exclusive interview, Abrams wanted fans to know that the reason for the voices was because...

...we wanted the audience to feel - but not necessarily be presented right in your face - this idea that familiar, Force-strong voices were connecting with her. At least as well as they could.

It seems everybody had a role in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, whether they're part of the Star Wars universe or not with cameo appearances from Daniel Craig and other celebrities.
