Filmmaker JJ Abrams has revealed the fight scene in 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' between Kylo Ren and Rey was perfected by Ava DuVernay.
The 50-year-old filmmaker has revealed he relied on the advice of his close friend for the scene which saw Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) fight Rey (Daisy Ridley), reported Contactmusic.

Speaking in a commentary track on the film's 3D collector's edition DVD, he said, "I showed an early cut to my friend Ava DuVernay, and she had a bunch of great suggestions.

One of them was she really wanted to see Daisy, in her attack on Ren, have one really cool moment."
Meanwhile, Abrams previously revealed he would love for DuVernay to direct one of the movies from the franchise.
"One name that immediately comes to mind (as someone who should direct a Star Wars film) is Ava DuVernay, who I thought did just a mind-blowingly great job with 'Selma'. And getting to know her a little since that movie ... she is such a fan of genre films and storytelling."
