John Boyega and Daisy Ridley Talk Star Wars: The Force Awakens on Good Morning America
John Boyega and Daisy Ridley have finally seen The Force Awakens! Check out their interview with Good Morning America and their thoughts on the movie…

Let’s hope these 2 keep a good chemistry for a good long time.
Also, the ones who think the interview might not convince you in being hyped for the movie, to the corner please.
Hype Thrusters have been engaged for over a year, I’ve reached maximum hype up to the point I want to be comatose only to wake up at the 10am screening at my local theater.
DANG!
I’ve got zero work motivation for the next two weeks.
I’m unemployed since this month, and while I should be sending out resumes, I’m reading this website and looking at all the interviews..
Based on the articles landing on SWNN, GMA have managed to line up pretty much the entire cast and crew for interview during past few days… i’m expecting a Times Square visit by BB8 to voice it’s opinion before the week is done!
They’re so bloody likeable! Let’s hope it translates onto the screen and that they don’t lose that enthusiasm for whatever work they do.
Indeed. It seems as if their chemistry off screen will translate well on screen.
I love it when British people say bloody.
These two are so, so cute. I could watch them all day – if it’s possible, they make me even more excited for the film.
Indeed. I hope their roles in the films have positive repercussions for their career in general.
What John Boyega said: “It’s so good, it’s so good… full of action, full of passion, and quite emotional…”.
What some people will interpret that as: “Not nearly as good as the OT, more Transformers 3 than The Empire Strikes Back. It’s a turkey, don’t touch it with a barge pole. I’d rather be circumcised with a rusty spoon than resit through that steaming pile of turd. Somebody call my agent”.
Personally, I’ve yet to see John Boyega in anything, but the more I see him being interviewed, the more I like him.
These people still remained with bitterness after the prequels. Let’s just hope that the film will calm them down in regards to the quality of the films.
These films will. There’s enough OT references and practical effects to keep em happy.
John Boyega is really good in attack the block.
Yeah, I need to check that out.
Yeah, he’s comes off as really genuine.
You can see the genuine excitement in their faces when the interviewer says “You’ve seen the movie”. If it were the slightest bit bad or questionable, I don’t think they would have had the same reaction.
Yeah, I was checking their faces when the question was asked.
Did John say “I’m going to be on set” at the end? And then daisy says “I’ll be there sometimes too”?
I saw that too! What’s that about???
I think he accidentally said it and then was like “damn it..” So Rey was like o.0 .. I’ll be there too? Kinda.. Lol
Daisy Ridley’s already confirmed to be in VIII. John Boyega’s all BUT confirmed.
Let’s be honest, of course they’re both in VIII haha 😛
i can’t believe people think finn is going to die in Ep. VII… abrams already said they casted the new people for the entire trilogy.
JJ says a lot of things.. lol. Some of which are flat out lies to protect the spoils of a film. You can’t always go off of what the director says, especially early on in dev. process.
perhaps, but I’m sure Finn isn’t going to die in this film.
Damn…..that boy has got A HELL of a lot of charisma.
And the girl looks like a nice person to meet.
I really hope Finn becomes a super bad ass Jedi because John Boyega deserves it. When he goes up against Kylo in Episode 8, I think there will be a different outcome.
As much as i think Finn will make a cool Jedi, i would rather have an excellent story line 1st. If the plot fits in well i have no problem with it.
she has “standing queen face,” such a genuine smile. great choice for an unknown lead
There has been an awakening… Inside my pants.
she appears to me like such a lovely girl. In all aspects…
That blonde gal from GMA has some nice tits
pics
These two are BEYOND the word cool.
You can tell by how much they looked at each other and smiled that they really developed a friendship for each other. It’s so weird to me that JJ had to stop filming to tell Daisy she was “wooden”. All the behind the scenes stuff I’ve seen, John and Daisy are laughing or smiling, it seems like his personality/friendship possibly helped her to loosen up.
I buy it, because there is also reports that she had to be taken aside and coached for public appearances. I have a feeling they saw that Boyega was able to put her at ease and relax so she does most press with him because of that. If the reports of her being coached are true anyway.
Wow, didn’t know that. If true makes sense. This is her first major film and “major” to describe this new Star Wars film is obviously an understatement.
just in case nobody noticed, john spoke towards the end about “being on set” in january while daisy is getting her degree. daisy then responds by saying “i’ll be there sometimes.” abrams said in an interview that filming is supposed to take place in january.. i know we all obviously assume both characters are confirmed for epsiode VIII, but now we know for sure!!
they both are awesome. im 27 and they are 23 living my dream! so lucky!! its strange how oscar is not being in the spotlight anymore.
Both of them are legends.
Confirmed that Boyega is in Episode 8. Filming starts in January. Also fuel to speculation that Ridley spends most of Episode 8 in training and away from the other stars, and the reason they’re looking for a new female lead
If Rey is to spend most of the time in training, does it mean we will see Luke less with others as well? Since he is prolly her trainer. O_O I really wanted Luke to be out there you know like mingle with the outside world.
I’m not sure exactly, I thought maybe Luke wants to wait until Rey is ready, and then they both return to action to help the others.. but it seems alittle cruel and selfish for Luke to do something like that. Unless Finn is also being trained, and the Resistance is aided by the New Republic in Episode 8 giving the new heroes time to train.
I have a weird theory thats unlikely to happen, but it would be cool if Finn lost both of his hands to Kylo Ren, while Finn is holding the saber, and then Kylo takes the saber and retreats. The SNL skit when Boyega is reading the lines “The force is controlled through the eyes” (or something like that) could actually be his lines. Maybe he loses both hands and Maz Kanata teaches him how to use the force in a different way, with his eyes, and thats why she trains him.
surprised more people didn’t catch this..
First AMERICAN film, It says she’s done films in the UK before. I don’t know why they keep saying that. What’s with the color coordinated wardrobe too?
Daisy’s been in TV shows, short films, a music video and a deleted scene, so technically this is her first movie.
Says she was in something called Scrawl before this.
It looks like an no-budget affair. The Force Awakens may be her first paid role.
First starring role for sure but a film is a film even if you are left on the cutting room floor. I guess it makes for a better story far as the PR team is concerned.
Watching yourself, watch yourself as you’re on live TV. As calm and easy going they looked, like with any human being, that must feel slightly embarrassing. Kudos to them for not letting it phase them.
Well they seem to have excellent chemistry don’t they?
Wait daisy will be their sometimes what john stars filming in January what my gosh
maybe she might not be in the next movie that much coz she is getting training from luke
Holy shit they’re so likable. That charisma though.
Daisy is just soooo hot.
They both seem like amazing persons.
Great casting.
Daisy was too busy analyzing herself during the movie. That’s why she didn’t remember the movie as a whole. That’s cool she’s studying psychology.
John says the movie “Is so good.” When I say It’s so good I usually mean it’s just good and not great. Just saying…
I’m afraid that what Boyega means when he says the film is “full of
passion” and “quite emotional” is “Chewbacca dies in Act Three, please
don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
I’ve been thinking about this for a couple days now and the more I think about it the more it seems likely.
Remember how Boyega asked JJ Abrams if Abrams thought people would like the film, but said regardless “there will definitely be a reaction.” That sounds to me like he’s afraid people will be so pissed the wookie died that they will hate the film.
Also that line in the trailer “Hope is not lost today.” Seems ominous. Plus, doesn’t it look like Chewie that Rey is crying over in the snow?
I think killing Chewie off will probably help make TFA a good film. I
just hope most people don’t get so upset about the death that it ruins
the movie for them.
