John Boyega Teases 'Much Darker' 'Star Wars: Episode VIII'

"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" isn't even close to done at romping all over the box office, but since we like shiny, new things, let's turn our attention to its followup, "Star Wars: Episode VIII."

It doesn't have a title, though it does have a director, Rian Johnson, who also wrote the script. And it seems "Episode VIII" will take a turn to the dark side.

"It's great. Much darker," John Boyega said of the the script in an interview with British Vogue. He noted that he and co-star Daisy Ridley are "very excited."

Not only that, but it seems his character, the former stormtrooper Finn, will be engaging in even more action in "Episode VIII."

"My part in the next film will be much more physical so I might be in the gym a bit more," he teased.

Lightsaber training, perhaps?
