In February 2014, Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) announced plans to open a facility in London, citing Disney's Star Wars films as a catalyst for the expansion. ILM's Vancouver branch also worked on the special effects for the film.[189] Abrams supervised post-production and editing of the film at Bad Robot Productions' headquarters in Santa Monica.[97] In August 2015, he gave the film's estimated running time of 124 minutes.[190] Abrams made changes to the film's plot in the editing process to simplify the film, by removing some sequences shown in trailers: "At one point, Maz used to continue along with the characters back to the Resistance base, but we realised that she really had nothing to do there of value [...] So we ended up leaving those things out."[191] The final cut of the film runs for 138 minutes.[192]
On November 6, 2014, the film's title was announced as Star Wars: The Force Awakens.[193] In December 2015, Pablo Hidalgo, the creative executive at the Lucasfilm Story Group which handles all the canonical continuity for the Star Wars universe, revealed that the working title for the film was Shadow of the Empire "for the longest time".[194]
In July 2013, John Williams was confirmed to return to compose the sequel trilogy, beginning with The Force Awakens.[195] He began working on the film in December 2014, and by June 2015 had been through most of the film reels, working on a daily basis.[196][197] In May 2015, Williams said he would return to themes from the previous films, such as those for Luke, Leia, and Han, in ways that "there are a few that I think are important and will seem very much a part of the fabric of the piece in a positive and constructive way." He said that working with Abrams was similar to the process he went through with Lucas in the earlier films.[198]
Recording sessions for The Force Awakens began in June 2015 at the Sony Pictures Studios' Barbra Streisand Scoring Stage in Culver City, with William Ross conducting most of the music.[199] The first day of recording was June 1, 2015.[200] Williams attended the sessions and conducted the remainder of the recordings in Los Angeles.[201]
The score was recorded in 12 sessions within a five-month period between June and mid-November. The 90-piece orchestra recorded 175 minutes of music; however, Abrams reedited the film, which discarded, modified, or rerecorded the score's part for nearly an hour. Williams' theme for Snoke was recorded by a 24-voice men's chorus.[202] Gustavo Dudamel conducted the opening and end title music for the film at Williams' behest.[203] Recording of the score was completed on November 14, 2015.[204] The film's soundtrack was released by Walt Disney Records on December 18, 2015.[205] Williams' score is more than two hours long.[197]
Vanity Fair was the first magazine to release an exclusive cover issue devoted to The Force Awakens. The magazine, released on May 7, 2015, featured exclusive interviews and photos of the cast photographed by Annie Leibovitz.[220] At the 2015 San Diego Comic-Con International, in addition to a panel with many of the actors, a behind-the-scenes look at the film demonstrated the film's use of practical sets and effects. It was positively received, with Nigel M. Smith of The Guardian writing: "The featurette's angle is a strong one and connects with fans of the original trilogy in an incredibly poignant way. It also does a sly job of teasing Fisher's new look as Leia and Simon Pegg's mysterious involvement as a rumored alien in the movie, without actually showing the actors in action." Smith compared the marketing strategy for the film to that of a previous Abrams film, Super 8, saying "the promos [...] are notable for what they tease, not what they give away."[221]
On December 17, 2015, select theaters across the United States and Canada aired a Star Wars marathon, airing the six previous Star Wars episode films in 2D, followed by The Force Awakens in 3D. Attendees received a special lanyard featuring exclusive marathon art.[231]

The series includes books by Del Rey and Disney-Lucasfilm publishers and comic books from Marvel Comics. All titles under the program are canonical to the Star Wars universe.[232] Alan Dean Foster wrote a novelization of The Force Awakens which was released in e-book form on December 18.[233] In an effort to avoid revealing plot details before the film's release, the print release of the novelization was delayed until January 2016.[233] Marvel Comics published a six-issue comic book adaptation of The Force Awakens between June and November 2016.[234]

This made it the first film since Warner Bros.' The Hobbit trilogy to receive such a release.[255] The film finally shed some of its IMAX screens with the release of The Revenant (2015) and The Finest Hours (2016) in mid-January 2016.[256]
