The massive critical and commercial success of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" has made every fan very excited about its sequel "Star Wars: Episode 8". John Boyega, the actor who played "Finn" in the recent Star Wars movie, talked about the story of the sequel and why it is different from the previous movie. Force Awakens director JJ Abrams also praised the script for Episode 8 written by Rian Johnson.
"It's great. Much darker, but we're very excited," Boyega told Vogue. "No, for this film we really just took it scene by scene, there wasn't a huge regime. My part in the next film will be much more physical so I might be in the gym a bit more," said the actor about the physicality of the role for Star Wars: Episode 8.
Boyega also spoke about Star Wars' impact on his life, "In terms of what's changed, my life back home in London is still pretty normal. I mostly drove everywhere around where I live even before I got that part, so that has meant my life just goes on as normal. I was in Wandsworth this morning."
Another update for Star Wars: Episode 8 is about Star Wars: The Force Awakens' director JJ Abrams talking about the script for the sequel written by writer-director Rian Johnson who will take the directing helm for the Episode 8.
According to a report from The Washington Post, actor Greg Grunberg who played a pilot in Star Wars: The Force Awakens said that Abrams has talked about how good the Episode 8 script is that he wished he had written it.
These comments from John Boyega and JJ Abrams about "Star Wars: Episode 8" will surely make the fans even more excited for the sequel. Only time can tell if the movie will surpass the success of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens".
