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.

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.
