Domhnall Gleeson, who will appear in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars 9 as First Order scowler-in-chief General Hux, has revealed his first reaction to reading the Rise of Skywalker script – and it may not have been wha🦂t he was expecting.

“It was cool. It was a page tur🍌ner,” Gleeson told , before revealing that the Star Wars 9 script “was different than what I’d thought.” You can read between the lines and draw your♓ own conclusion to that one.

Gleeson, perhaps fearing Disney w🅺ould st🃏rike him down, didn’t share any further details, but did reveals his thoughts on getting to read the script early.

In a deliciously Hux-like show of having information no one else is privy to, he said: “Also, you fee🔯l part of this tiny club that gets to read these things ahead of other people, and that feels great. I really did enjoy that, and I think it’s going to be cool.”

Of course, us lowly subjects are n𒐪ever going to get a peek at the Star Wars 9 script before the movie’s release. Hopefully, with D23’s live-action panel (featuring the final entry in the current Star Wars saga) happening later this week, we’ll have a better idea of why Gleeson sounds so effusive about Rise of Skywalker. A second trailer, maybe?

It’s the fact that Star Wars 9 will be “different” to what even General Hux himself had anticipated, though, that’s the main takeaway here. The subversion of expectations in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: The Last Jedi provoked a passionate response. If the Irish actor&rsq🐠uo;s reactions mirror our own when we sit down and watch🌠 it in December, Rise of Skywalker could end up doing the same thing.
