As everyone on the planet knows, opening next week is directorRian Johnson’sStar Wars: The Last Jedi. Unlike most movies where a lot of people know all the twists and turns before opening day, Disney and Lucasfilm have done an amazing job keeping the secrets ofThe Last Jediunder wraps. It’s actually a small miracle they did it considering the speed at which things leak on the internet.
Knowing the cast was extremely guarded with what they would say about their characters and the film, when I attended the Los Angeles press day, I tried my best to ask some fun questions that I knew they could answer. As you’ll see during my interview withOscar IsaacandLaura Dern,they shared their one-word reactions after seeingThe Last Jedi, how both of their characters see Leia, what it was like working withCarrie Fisher, how much they pay attention to the books and video games, Isaac’s thoughts about Poe possibly being the firstStar Warsfilm character to be LBGT, and more.
