Star Wars- John Boyega Says that Episode VIII Will be “Darker”

John Boyega (Finn) has stated that Star Wars Episode VIII will have a darker tone compared to Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Boyega took a break from filming Episode VIII to attend the Cannes Film Festival where he received the Chopard Trophy, as did Diary of a Teenage Girl star Bel Powley, who was previously rumoured to be joining the Star Wars Episode VIII cast. While there Boyega took the time to talk to Variety about Star Wars.

When asked about Finn’s relationship with Rey, Boyega said:

“Finn and Rey – they’re just friends. Finn is a storm trooper, so he doesn’t really know what’s going on. So the romance thing is something that’s going to be interesting in the next instalment. It’s not going to go the way you think it’s going to go.”

Also, on working with Episode VIII’s director Rian Johnson, he said:

“Rian Johnson is great. It’s a different take, darker, bigger. Someone will say: ‘How do you get bigger than ‘Force Awakens?’ But it’s crazy.”

Star Wars Episode VIII is scheduled for release on December 15th, 2017.

Thoughts on what John said? Are you looking forward to seeing a darker tone in Star Wars Episode VIII?
