The franchise fans were also treated with the new looks of characters in Star Wars VIII. The leaked photos feature the lead cast members, including Mark Hamill and Adam Driver, in their costumes. The images were taken for a new line of Hasbro toys.
Meanwhile, cast member John Boyega shared some new details about former stormtrooper Finn and the various challenges faced by him in The Last Jedi. The actor revealed that there will be a lot of chasing in the movie and there is a mission that he needs to complete.
"Well, it's like imagine you work at McDonald's. You push your manager into a chute compactor and then a year later you decide to go back dressed as one of the colleagues. It's not the best situation. That isn't necessarily something that doesn't come without a fight and it's something that he's gonna have to face for himself," the cast member said in an interview with IGN.
The actor also dished about his undercover operation in Star Wars VIII. "I always wanted to go undercover. Star Wars undercover is different because you wear a hat and all of a sudden no one recognizes you. ... I'd be thinking to myself walking in one of those scenes, isn't anyone gonna go, 'Wait, isn't that Finn?' Do you know what I mean? But such is the magic of Star Wars. It's fun. It's fun to do. It's cool," he said.
Boyega even revealed that General Leia Organa will be getting an amazing send off in The Last Jedi. "We really enjoyed each other's company. I was in Nigeria when we found out [about her death]. It was a strange, strange feeling. I felt like everyone in the cast went silent for a bit after that ... [But] this movie, it sends her off in an amazing, amazing way," he said during his appearance in Popcorn with Peter Travers.
