Are you a Star Wars fan who prefers the light hearted comedic parts in the films or are you more inclined towards the serious or scary parts as seen in Episode III or Episode V?

It’s a trick question, you’re supposed to like them both the same. However, those with a darker taste in movies might be getting the Star Wars film they were hoping for out of the new Episode VIII which starts filming in March. John Boyega, who played Finn in Star Wars Episode VII – The Force Awakens, but also the character of Moses in a hilarious British comedy Attack of the Block, told Vogue in a recent interview the script for the new sequel to the saga is “much darker” than that of Episode VII. If you look back at the franchise, you will realise the beloved „all ages“ space opera has had its share of scary or downright disturbing images shown in the films, so we tend to believe this announcement has some merit. John Boyega was also quoted as saying this role is very special to him being a Star Wars fan himself.

Regardless of the tone of the movie, we sure hope to see this up and coming British film star on the set in Dubrovnik.
