"So the weekend after this happened, I was able to go to the Facebook headquarters, and meet an incredible and integral part of this story and this journey, and I feel like today, right now, this moment, is a second divine moment that's happening.

Jimmy Fallon also talks about John Boyega surprising Star Wars fans at showings of the film, which will really bring a smile to your face:
