acomplia<\/a> thing.”<\/p>\nThe actor also confessed he used to dress up as characters from the outer space blockbuster franchise as a child.<\/p>\n
“Not as a Jedi Knight,” he stressed, “but I dressed up as a gonk droid a couple of times.<\/p>\n
“I liked the tertiary characters or the ones you don’t necessarily look at. I was a huge Boba Fett fan.”<\/p>\n
The film will be the first Star Wars title released by Disney, after creator George Lucas sold the rights to the franchise in 2012.<\/p>\n
It will also see the return of the three principal characters from the original trilogy – Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) and Han Solo (Harrison Ford).<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, Guatemalan-born Isaac was nominated for several awards, including a best actor Golden Globe, for starring in the Coen Brothers’ folk music drama Inside Llewyn Davis.<\/p>\n
He told Front Row the accolades led directly to his latest role, in the thriller The Two Faces of January.<\/p>\n
“Early on, before I’d been cast in Llewyn Davies, [director Hossein Amini] had shown me the script because we’d worked together on Drive.<\/p>\n
“At the time there was very little chance I’d be cast – but once I was cast in Llewyn Davies, that opened up a lot of doors.”<\/p>\n
Laughing, he added: “They couldn’t get the money to make the movie with some weirdo named Oscar.”<\/p>\n
“It’s kind of crazy that’s how it works, but that’s how it’s worked for a very long time.”<\/p>\n
