Daisy Ridley Talks Episode VIII

Talking with Empire Magazine about her narration of the The Eagle Huntress, Daisy Ridley has offered up some little bits of Episode VIII information.

We have to ask about Star Wars. What’s the latest on Episode VIII? Have you watched an early cut yet or is it too soon?

I watched a sizzle reel. I went to go see Rian in the edit, and that was very…[makes excited noise] Rian sounds very happy. It’s very, very exciting. Rian doesn’t love showing stuff. I’ve seen bits and bobs, but he likes it to be done. So I think probably the first time I see it will be when it’s fully done. I don’t think anyone will see an early cut outside of the main editing team….

Have you heard anything about a trailer yet?

No. I could probably ask, but Rogue One is out in like a week, so I guess we’ll let that come out, be amazing, let people respond to that first. One step at a time! I know there’s Celebration next year. Hopefully something will be shown there? That’s speculation, by the way…

Can you share one line of dialogue from the Episode VIII script?

I can give you one word. “I”.

That’s barely a word. That’s just a letter.

“I” sums up so many things. It’s powerful. It’s life. I’ve actually given you a big spoiler!
