The first teaser trailer of J.J. Abrams' upcoming Star Wars movie has been launched. The movie is scheduled to release on 18 December, 2015, which is more than a year from now. No matter how much Abrams tries to shield his project with the veil of secrecy, you can predict that he's going to face some "˜undesired revelations' in between. Summing up some plot leaks and rumors appearing in "˜Reddit' along with some hints provided by Oscar Isaac in "˜IGN' interview, we have a good bit of stuff to share with you about Star Wars: The Force Awakens and its Guatemalan star's role, which might irritate the director!
What Is Oscar Isaac's Role In The Force Awakens?
You've seen Oscar Isaac piloting an X-Wing spaceship in the 88 second teaser of the first Star Wars movie since 2008. So, it's clear that he's an X-Wing pilot. According to the "˜Reddit' report, Oscar's name in the movie is "˜Darklighter'. The character is a relative if original trilogy's Big Darklighter. This Darklighter is the leader of the Blue Squadron and is stationed on Yavin. Harrison Ford's Han Solo calls him something he hates to be called with, and it's "˜Kid'!
How Did Oscar Prepare For The Force Awakens Role?
While talking to IGN, Oscar Isaac shared some interesting experiences that he had preparing for the role. As a part of his preparation for playing the X-Wing pilot's role, other than flight training for just a single day, he used to play with a little ship in his room and think about the stuff he would say when he's doing that. Oscar also shared that Harrison, who's got a pilot's license as well, offered to take him to flying before they were supposed to shoot, but that couldn't happen due to lack of time adjustment. Later, the Han Solo cast told him that it didn't really matter as flying an airplane and a spaceship aren't the same.
How Does The Force Awakens Differ From Prequels?
Oscar also illustrated Abrams' plan to make the movie live ages by giving practical effects priority over CG effects. The Star Wars prequels went through heavy criticism for prioritizing CG effects. Oscar expects that due to improvisation on physical sets and props, The Force Awakens is going to be "˜ageless'. The star also stated that the Episode VII focuses on the emotional story of the characters in spite of the spectacle.
