Quantcast

Josh Gad and Daisy Ridley are currently filming a Kenneth Branagh-directed adaptation of Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express. Naturally, Gad is using the opportunity to grill Ridley on spoilers for the upcoming Star Wars film, The Last Jedi.

While his past attempts have proven unsuccessful, for his latest video, Gad has called on the help of some equally inquisitive A-listers, including Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, their Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow (who will direct Star Wars: Episode IX), as well as Orient Express costars Penélope Cruz, Leslie Odom Jr., and Lucy Boynton.

Arguably the most important question comes from Ridley's old Force Awakens director J.J. Abrams, who really hopes Luke Skywalker has some lines in The Last Jedi. Although the hilarious clip fails to provide any real answers, it does an excellent job hyping the upcoming film. The Last Jedi opens in theaters on December 15, 2017.
