Last week, actorJosh Gadposted a hilarious video from the set of the movie he’s currently filming, directorKenneth Branagh’s remake ofMurder on the Orient Express. The video didn’t reveal anything from that film, but it did showJosh Gad’s unscrupulous attempt to pry any details aboutStar Wars: The Last Jedifrom his co-star,Daisy Ridley. Despite failing in his first attempt,Josh Gadhas given his quest forStar Wars 8spoilers another try with another hilarious video, as he tries a somewhat different approach.
Josh Gadposted the first video on Instagram last week, where he asked theStar Wars 8star into his trailer, under the guise of asking her questions about the scene they’re about to shoot. Instead, he bombarded her with questions pertaining toStar Wars, including, ‘Who is The Last Jedi?’ and asking if Jedi is actually plural, meaning it could be more than one character who is the Last Jedi. He continued to badger his co-star, asking if her character Rey was a Jedi, which resulted in her walking out. The actor posted a new video onFacebook, where he attempts to apologize for last week’s incident, although it quickly veers into familiar territory. Here’s what he had to say in the caption of his Facebook video.
“Had a follow-up conversation withDaisy Ridleyon set today. Tried to apologize for #StarWars #TheLastJedi sneak attack last week. Suffice it to say, it didn’t go well.”
This video starts withJosh Gadapologizing to his co-star, who revealed that some people online thought she was “super angry” although she wasn’t, but she did add that it was uncomfortable. This time around,Josh GadpresentsDaisy Ridleywith a script that features new dialogueMurder on the Orient ExpressdirectorKenneth Branaghhas reportedly written, and wants them to go over together. One of the linesDaisyhas to say is, “You’re not asking the right questions,” which leads toJosh Gad’s second round ofThe Last Jediquestions thatDaisy Ridley’s character is supposed to say in this “script,” including, ‘Who are Rey’s parents?" “Am I a Jedi?” “Is Finn paralyzed from the waist down?” The script then directsDaisy Ridleyto “answer honestly,” which leads the actress to walk out again, without revealing a thing.
The Finn rumor is certainly a new one, but there has been plenty of speculation about what happened toJohn Boyega’s beloved character. When we last saw Finn, he was lying unconscious on a table, having been injured during his lightsaber battle with Kylo Ren (Adam Driver). Still, it seems unlikely that Finn is paralyzed, sinceJohn Boyegastated in an interview that his role will be “much more physical” inStar Wars 8, teasing that he will have to hit the gym more. We’ve also seen set images where he is riding a ‘space horse’, and he appeared to be in fine physical shape. As for the other questions posed byJosh Gad, they are among the most important questions that need to be answered at some point in this new trilogy.
While Disney hasn’t released an official plot rundown at this time, we know the story takes place directly after the end ofStar Wars: The Force Awakens, whereDaisy Ridley’s Rey finally meetsMark Hamill’s Luke Skywalker, returning his lightsaber on the hidden planet ofAhch-To. There have long been rumors thatStar Wars: The Last Jediwill follow Rey’s Jedi training with Luke Skywalker, although it is believed that she will abandon her training upon learning that her friends Finn and Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) are captured by Kylo Ren, mirroring Luke Skywalker’s same decision to leave in the midst of his training to help his friends. Take a look at this new video below, whereJosh Gadcontinues to pressDaisy Ridleyfor any spoilers regardingStar Wars: The Last Jedi.
