President Barack Obama closed his year-end press conference on Friday by noting that he — like many of us — had to get to a screening of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”
Obama was referring to a showing of the film that he and first lady Michelle Obama hosted for military families. Before the screening, R2-D2 and some Stormtroopers took some time to explore the White House, appearing at the briefing room and meeting Sunny and Bo Obama.
