10 Movie & TV Spoilers You Didn't Know Yesterday (Sept 26)

9. More Evidence That Oscar Isaac Is To Play A Solo Child In Star Wars VII?

While speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Oscar Isaac was quizzed on all things Star Wars. One of the more interesting questions asked of him was how much he got to interact with Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill - the three returning actors from the original trilogy.
Have you had much interactions with the original trio of Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, and Mark Hamill on or off-screen?

Yeah, I have. Both. They're such funny people. Carrie is hilarious and doing such cool work. 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 in the 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.

Unsurprisingly, Isaac doesn't go into fine details about his own character, but what is interesting is his specific mention of Fisher and Ford but total lack of talking about Mr. Hamill. The fact that Isaac goes into detail about working with Carrie and Ford specifically might suggest that he's working more closely with the two of them than he is with anyone else. If Isaac is to be the offspring of Han and Leia, the actor would be roughly the right age to play the part considering the time gap between Return Of The Jedi and Episode VII.
