‘Star Wars’ Director JJ Abrams Throws Back Tequila with ‘Kimmel’ Sidekick Guillermo (Video)

He has a little trouble explaining what a wookie is, however

Tequila may make her clothes fall off, but it isn’t strong enough to get any “Star Wars” spoiler out of J.J. Abrams.

The “Force Awakens” director sat down with “Jimmy Kimmel Live” sidekick Guillermo on Thursday at the “Star Wars” Celebration convention in Anaheim.

Guillermo, dressed as Princess Leia, gave Abrams a shot of “space juice,” a.k.a Don Julio tequila. The Force was strong with Abrams, however, as he gave nothing away about the upcoming film.

Guillermo also asked if Chewbacca was supposed to be a bear or a dog. Abrams replied, “Chewbacca is a wookie.” When Guillermo asked what that is, Abrams followed up with, “It’s sort of a cross between a bear and a dog.”

Although Abrams remained tight-lipped, fans across the internet are still rejoicing after the release of a new trailer for the latest entry in the epic sci-fi series.

“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” opens in theaters December 18.
