Star Wars Actor Oscar Isaac Promises Doubters That Episode IX Will Live Up To Expectations

Some Star Wars fans might have mixed feelings about Star Wars: Episode IX ever since the release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi back in 2016, but sequel trilogy star Oscar Isaac promises everyone that the film is going to live up to expectations.

Speaking in an interview with the Happy Sad Confused podcast (via Bespin Bulletin), Isaac opened up about his work in the third and final film in Lucasfilm's Star Wars sequel trilogy, saying that it was such an amazing experience acting in the film.

"The experience of reading it definitely did and the experience of doing it. It's amazing how adaptable we are because the most crazy scenarios and situations can feel routine after a while," Isaac shared with told the interviewers. "Even like, 'Oh, I'm in an X-Wing again,' I got to squeeze my ass into the Millennium Falcon chair. They clearly don't make it for ethnic hips. Harrison Ford did not have a butt because this is not working for me. Everything starts to feel like old hat and the fact, towards the end of shooting, when we were saying goodbye, it was very emotional for me."

Isaac definitely has a sense of humor. It's fun listening to the actor talk about Star Wars proportions, adding a bit of levity to what clearly is an emotional story.

While we do expect actors to exaggerate the quality of the films that they're in, Isaac doesn't seem to be joking when he talks about the size and the spectacle of Episode IX.

"It was such a huge chapter of my life for me, six years or whatever it was, it was a lot and the intensity of it and they're, like, the biggest films ever so being in the midst of all that was a lot," Isaac continued, "And to have [director] JJ [Abrams] come back and the energy of the set and the energy of the whole thing was so distinct from the other ones in a great way."

That's a whole lot of great things to say about Episode IX. Hopefully, the film really does manage to live up to expectations. After all, there's a lot riding on the film. Not only will Episode IX serve as the sequel trilogy's final entry, but it will also serve as the culmination of the Skywalker saga.

Star Wars: Episode IX premieres December 20, 2019.
