We’re apparently getting a new trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens very soon, and while we wait one of its stars Oscar Isaac has been talking about working in a galaxy far, far away.
“It’ll be very cool. I’m very excited about it. I’m excited to see it, to see how it all comes together,” he told Moviefone, noting that the trailer was “very fun” and that “it was very fun to see that spirit get ignited again.”
“The first movie I remember seeing in a theatre was Return of the Jedi,” he adds as to why he took the role. “And then J.J., on top of the whole thing was J.J. Nostalgia can only go so far and at a certain point you have to have someone who has a real vision of what they want to do.”
When asked about Star Wars: Episode VIII, Isaac confirmed he’d be back again and that he was “very excited” to work with Rian Johnson.
Lastly, he talked about flying an iconic X-Wing fighter as seen in the trailer. “It was very cool,” he said. “But a little nauseating because the thing is on a gimbal and moving all around. I forgot to breathe and I was like, ‘Whoa.’ But it was very cool.”
