“In the new film, there’s a lot more to do. What happens now is the heroes get tested. All three of them (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,” Issac said.
Rian Johnson has replaced JJ Abrams as the director for Episode VIII. This will be the fourth feature film of his career and his first since the success of Looper back in 2012.
