The Force Awakens director J.J. Abrams has shed light on Simon Pegg's involvement in the upcoming film. "I will say this in terms of Simon: while he won?t be recognizable in the movie, in all honesty, his role in this ? not the performance or the character ? but his support and friendship has been massively important and helpful in the process," Abrams told EW of Pegg, who of course also played Scotty in the director's two Star Trek movies. Abrams continued, "he was a wonderful partner in crime to kick the story around and ask questions and come up with ideas, and he was an incredibly helpful part of the process for all of us, I?m very grateful."
