Production on Star Wars Episode VIII is well underway. Though the film won’t be released until December next year, many fans are excited to see the next adventures of Rey, Finn and Luke Skywalker.
Poe Dameron (played by Oscar Isaac) will also be returning for the film. Isaac himself recently spoke to LA Times about progress on the production under new direction Rian Johnson and what the new film feels like.
Isaac is quoted as saying the following on comments by The Force Awakens co-writer Lawrence Kasdan stating that Johnson’s work would be “weird” and “unlike anything that’s ever been in Star Wars”:
“I would agree with [Kasdan], Rian is definitely going to places and investigating things that haven’t really been done in the ‘Star Wars’ universe. For me, it’s so fun getting to explore different things that I wouldn’t have expected in this universe.”
In addition, he is quoted as saying the following on the indie vibe he feels working with Johnson on Episode VIII has:
“In some ways it feels like we’re making an independent film, Certain things we get to play with – this kind of intimacy that we get to find – it’s special. It’s been really fun.”
Star Wars Episode VIII is scheduled for release on December 15th, 2017.
