EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: JOE meets the new star of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, John Boyega
The Force is strong with this one...
Jealous? Us? Of John Boyega?
Wise up.
OK... so maybe we are jealous, just a little bit.
The London-born actor and Attack The Block star has bagged himself the role of a lifetime playing Finn, a conflicted stormtrooper with the sinister First Order, in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Wow.
The lucky fecker even manages to get his hands on a lightsaber...
If you haven't seen Episode VII yet, what the heck are you waiting for?
Star Wars: The Force Awakens is one of the best films of 2015, director J.J. Abrams has knocked it right out of the park galaxy and, if you don't like it, then you can go and jump in the nearest sarlacc pit for all we care.
To celebrate the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens AKA the most anticipated film of the EVER, Eoghan Doherty caught up with the super-talented young actor to chat about the thrill of starring in the greatest film series of all time (we're ignoring parts of Episodes I-III, OK?), how he resisted the urge to constantly do Chewbacca impressions on set, and he also told us a cracking story about the first person he revealed his brilliant Star Wars casting news to.
Enjoy...
To get you in the super Star Wars mood (as if you weren't already), have a look at the film's terrific trailer for the gazillionth time...
