Star Wars: Episode 8 will "explore different things" according to Oscar Isaac

While some have criticised Star Wars: The Force Awakens of borrowing a little too heavily from A New Hope, it doesn't sound like that will be the case for Episode 8. Everyone from 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:JJ Abrams to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Adam Driver is really excited about the direction ♈Rian Johnson is taking, and that's a sentiment shared by Oscar Isaac.

While speaking with , Isaac - who will be reprising hiꦫs role as Poe Dameron in Episode 8 - teased what we have to look forward to; “Rian is defiꦇnitely 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 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.”

The Star Wars film that understandably has the most attention right now is this year's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Rogue One, and we're not going to start to learn just how different Episode 8 is shaping up to be for a while yet. Thankfully, if you're in dire need of an Oscar Isaac fix - and let's be honest... who isn't? - the actor is starring in this summer's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:X-Men: Apocalypse

Directed by Rian Johnson and starring 🌌Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Laura Dern, Mark Hamill, Adam Drivꦅer, Gwendoline Christie, and Benicio del Toro, Star Wars: Episode 8 opens in cinemas on December 15, 2017.
