Star wars Episode VII's Oscar Isaac: "There's Nothing Cynical About the Way We're Doing This"

During a new interview in support of his thriller The Two Faces of January, incoming Star Wars star Oscar Isaac said that he's been looking for his cheesy Star Wars one-liner, but said that the whole production is a very loose environment, but that there's "nothing cynical" about the undertaking.

"I'm constantly looking for a cheesy line to say to harken back to the old ones," Isaac admitted when EW asked about the old-school, sometimes silly feel of the classic trilogy. "No, what they're trying to do and what's really great is J.J.'s been loosening it up a little bit and trying to make it alive and energized. It's not formal. They're messy, energized people. We've all intentionally tried to do that. Just make it a little more fiery and messy."

The actor couldn't give much in the way of details on the project -- and in fact feels somewhat that all the existing set photos and spoiler reports are detracting somewhat from the films -- but he did talk briefly about working with Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher on the film.

"They're such funny people. Carrie is hilarious and doing such cool work," Isaac said. "Harrison is back. He went on hiatus for a little while, but he's 150 percent back. It's pretty amazing to see him bounce back. He looks incredible. Everyone's having a really good time. J.J. sets that tone. There's a lot of enthusiasm and it's being done with a lot of heart. There's nothing cynical about the way we're doing this. Even the in way he's shooting it—he's shooting on film and actually building the sets, so you've got hundreds of Stormtroopers or whatever, and hundreds of extras and all the ships. You actually see it. It's all real. Everyone can interact with the world."
