In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Oscar Isaac discussed Rian Johnson’s Star Wars: Episode VIII and how the new film impacts other franchise characters.
“In the new film, there’s a lot more to do. What happens now is the heroes get tested,” he explained. “All three of them [Poe Dameron, Daisy Ridley‘s Rey and John Boyega‘s Finn] get tested immensely…BB-8 gets tested too! Everybody gets tested! It’s the dark second chapter, but not really dark.”
“It’s the first time in my life when things have been mapped out for quite some time,” he added. “I’m basically Star Warring until 2020.”
Isaac also admitted to always working to “complicate and deepen” his character and takes credit for some of the character’s funniest lines. “We’re making s**t up as we go,” he revealed.
I hope the new movie is 50% Poe, 30% MaRey Sue and 20% Finn. I'm sure the GP agrees.
I hope the next film is better than the first. 7 was good but it was totally a remake of the a new hope. Maybe My expectations were high but I fell meh about it.
