While discussing his new thriller Operation Finale, Star Wars Resistance star Oscar Isaac touched on the filming of Episode IX and the huge missing piece – Carrie Fisher. Despite her not being physically on set, Isaac feels that she is still very much a part of the production.
“Of course she’s with us.”
Oscar described the returning J.J. Abrams.
“(he) seems to me just as excited if not more so because now there’s a history there, there’s a shorthand, and the nature of the story is different.”
And Isaac went on to describe the plight of the Resistance in the ninth instalment.
“(They) are guerrilla fighters, adhering closer to something like the Revolutionary War fighters or even the guerrillas in Cuba with Che and Fidel and all these guys living in the mountains, coming down to do some attacks, and going back and trying to hide from the ’empire’ of the United States. It’s that kind of ragged at this point.”
“You hear about stories with (George) Washington as a general, where lots of people died based on their orders, but that is part of leadership and that push-and-pull in the fight for figuring out what’s the way to move forward.”
“It is a war movie. I mean, above and beyond, it is a movie about warriors.”
