It seems President Obama is a fan of Star Wars too! He kept his year-end press conference brief so he could catch Star Wars: The Force Awakens before leaving on Christmas vacation with his family.

Afterwards White House Press secretary Josh Earnest was joined by R2-D2 & 2 Stormtroopers in the Brady Press Briefing Room of the White House. The characters were on hand for the special screening of Star Wars: The Force Awakens for children of Gold Star Families an organization of family members who lost relatives in military combat.

First Lady Michelle Obama posted this video on Twitter.


Star Wars:  The Force Awakens had a record breaking preview night of approximately $57 million in sales and is expected to break the box office record. Experts predict that the The Force awakens could bring in between $180 million and $223 million in the US and Canada this weekend – overtaking Jurassic World’s $208.8 million record.
