Star Wars: Episode VIII will be “much darker” in tone

Sneider went on the webshow Meet the Movie Press to discuss the new casting rumors, starting at the 13:45 mark of the show.

Gugu Mbatha-Raw was previously rumoured to be eyed for the same role, which is being said as a “pivotal character”.

Zen Studios says it is still working to give Xbox One Pinball FX 2 players a way to transfer their table purchases to the Windows 10 version, which is a feature that has been promised since March 2015 when the Windows 10 version was first announced.

Boyega then said he agrees with Daisy Ridley (who plays Rey) that the script for the upcoming episode is “great”. After all, Finn seems to be badly wounded at the end of The Force Awakens.

It would be interesting to see what “Star Wars: Rogue One” has in store for the loyal fans and followers of the “Star Wars” franchise. It sounds like Powley is either joining these actresses on the list or has beaten them out for the role. In fact, Sneider also alleged an older new female character was being introduced for Episode VIII as well.

There is no denying Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ critical and commercial success – in many viewers’ eyes, it was the flawless follow-up both as a sequel to the Original Trilogy and as a reassurance following the Prequel Trilogy.

In an interview with Vogue, the man behind the Stormtrooper-turned-hero said fans should prepare for some glumness in the current installment’s second part.

Being this close to release also means the thirst for new information about the film is at an all time high, which is probably what lead to TMZ leaking some photos of a cool looking black-and-white X-Wing from the set.
