The event, at the Royal Albert Hall, saw stars
including Mark Hammill, John Boyega, Daisy Ridley and Adam
Driver join the princes on the red carpet, surrounded by an
honor guard of armor-clad storm-troopers.
"It's not only the most action-packed, it's just the most
emotional, it pulls you in several different directions, it's
spontaneous," Boyega told Reuters of his impressions of the Walt
Disney Co film, which is widely expected to top 2017's global
box office.
The princes appear in the film as storm-troopers, clad
head-to-toe in the characters' signature white armor. During
Tuesday's event, they were greeted on the red carpet by robot
character BB8, and presented with souvenir storm-trooper
helmets.
The pair filmed their parts during a visit to the film's set in
Pinewood Studios near London in 2016.
