To say there have been a lot of fan theories and speculation surrounding Star Wars: Episode VII is like merely saying Scarlett Johansson is nice-looking. With the vast multitude of rumors swirling around the internet it seems logical that at least some of them would be close to the truth...right? Well, Episode VII actor Oscar Isaac says none of those theories have come close to the truth. “I don’t think these little leaks necessarily ruined watching the trailer,” he said. “And also, the [plot theories] that get formulated based on these things — they couldn’t be more far off-base.”
On his role as X-Wing fighter pilot Poe Dameron, Isaac shared, "It was hard to believe that I was actually sitting in there and doing that. And it’s physical. You have to kind of get in touch with that child again that had a little X-Wing and would fly around his room making crazy sounds, you had to tap into that spirit again and that was a lot fun. There was a lot of practical effects. A lot of the stuff they actually made. There wasn’t a lot of green screen."
Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens will arrive in US theaters on December 18, 2015. J.J. Abrams directs from a script he co-wrote with Lawrence Kasdan. Origianl Star Wars actors Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher return to the franchise as Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia, respectively. Episode VII newcomers include Isaac, Lupita Nyong'o, Christina Chong, Gwendoline Christie, John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, and Max von Sydow.
After a breakout performance in Inside Llewyn Davis, Isaac will look to become a household name with Episode VII and X-Men: Apocalypse.
