STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS — Oscar Isaac Says Theories Are "Far Off-Base"

So little about Star Wars: The Force Awakens has been officially released or confirmed. Actors are the most public face of the project and really do get the brunt of the pressure from the press. Some actors drop heavy hints like Vin Diesel, others lie or dissemble like Benedict Cumberbatch, some will correct rumors but give nothing new like Andy Serkis. Actor Oscar Isaac hasn't had the pressure that the aforementioned actors have had, so we don't know how he will deal with the questions.

In an interview with Yahoo, Isaac talks about the secrecy of the movie:

“You go to the place, and they have a room with cameras and you sit there and read the script. They’re incredibly protective, because nowadays, with however many hundreds of blogs and this and that, people are just ravenous for content. So because of that, there has to be such tight security around it. And it gets in the way of the process a bit, but it’s understandable.”

Isaac shares his experience as an X-Wing pilot and the effects used in the film:

"It was hard to believe that I was actually sitting in there and doing that. And it’s physical. You have to kind of get in touch with that child again that had a little X-Wing and would fly around his room making crazy sounds, you had to tap into that spirit again and that was a lot fun. There was a lot of practical effects. A lot of the stuff they actually made. There wasn’t a lot of green screen."

Finally, Isaac addresses the theories that get a lot of coverage on sites like GeekTyrant:

"I can’t speak for the cast and crew, I can just speak for myself, but for me I thought, Don’t you want to wait so you can get the real thing? But it creates excitement for it. I don’t think these little leaks necessarily ruined watching the trailer. And also, the [plot theories] that get that formulated based on these things — they couldn’t be more far off-base."

I would love if everything we've reported on the movie so far were false because it would mean J.J. Abrams is going to surprises us. I'm unsure how much Isaac reads of the film sites to know what is said is false, or maybe he's just taking the tack that it's better to attack rumors than address them.

But knowing the highly placed sources of many of the other sites, I can say that likely most of what we at GeekTyrant have reported on is true or was true at the time.

Several positive things are consistent and that is the fact the Star Wars is returning to its roots, the characters are much better defined than in the prequels, and the cast and crew think the story is rock solid.
