Episode VII director, J.J. Abrams, was spotted at the August 9 baseball game between the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and the Boston Red Sox. The game lasted a grand total of 19 innings, with the Angels eventually pulling out the victory, 5-4 . Who he was cheering for seemed to be less important than the fact he was back in the states at all.

While blurry, the features are unmistakably J.J. Which leads fans to wonder what he could be doing back in California, and why was he not in a box suite? The down-to-earth Star Wars director was spotted by Randy A. Mazin from the Facebook group Star Wars Geeks of the world, UNITE!!!
who was also in attendance.
This is obviously not the only integral member of the film to be spotted in the states, as Peter Mayhew was in San Antonio this past weekend and visited with Dave Gremillion of Get Your Geek On. This trend seems to confirm the rumors provided from several sources that the show has been placed on hiatus to give everyone a break. Given the state of the cast like Ford with his hurt leg and Mayhew with his hip replacement, this break may be beneficial for everyone concerned.
It's good to see J.J. getting some time off at one of America's greatest pastimes, without too much speculation floating around that release dates are being pushed back, or that recording has moved from Pinewood back to California.
Anaheim is not just known for their angelic baseball players, however. The next Star Wars Celebration - Celebration Anaheim - is set for April 16-19, 2015, with Abrams expected (but not yet confirmed) to attend there as well.
