Most recently, Adam Driver, who played Kylo Ren in "The Force Awakens¹," said that fans have a lot to be excited about. The writing, he told an Entertainment Weekly reporter, is one of them.

最近，据《星球大战7：原力觉醒》中大反派凯洛·伦的扮演者亚当·德莱佛向粉丝透露，《星战8》有许多令人期待的东西。他告诉《娱乐周刊》的一名记者，新电影的剧本非常值得期待。

"The script they've come up with is really great," he gushed².

他激动地说道：“他们写的剧本真是太赞了！”

Driver gave a few other tidbits about life behind the scenes, as have a few of his co-stars recently. Here's what we know about the upcoming film so far.

德莱佛还透露了一些其他的幕后花絮，包括最近和他合作的几位演员的情况。下面是我们目前了解到的，有关这部即将到来的电影你不得不知道的几件事。

1.The First Order and the Resistance are in conflict still

1.第一秩序和抵抗组织仍然处于冲突之中。

For better or worse, some things remained unchanged. "They're still at war. It's still 'Star Wars,'" noted³ Driver. "They're not at peace!"

不管是好是坏，星战中的局面仍然没有改变。德莱佛说道：“第一秩序和抵抗组织仍然在战斗，仍然在进行着'星球大战'，他们没有和解。”

2.The mood on set is different:

2.拍摄现场的气氛变得不一样了

J.J. Abrams directed "The Force Awakens," but this time around, Rian Johnson is at the helm. Driver explained that the two men have different temperaments⁴. "I feel like there was so many moving pieces in the first one – just trying to solve it and set the vocabulary for what it was," he continued. "There's a lot of that anxiety is gone, because people have developed a language. I think it's more of a testament⁵ to Rian coming into something very established and making it (his own). I can't wait to get on set, just because he's so unassuming and intelligent and approachable."

J·J·艾布拉姆斯执导了《星球大战7：原力觉醒》，但是这一次《星战8》的拍摄将由莱恩·约翰逊掌舵。德莱佛表示，这两个人有不同的性格。“在《星战7》的片场里，为了解决好每一件事情、并把它们用文字准确地记录下来是非常困难的，因此总是有很多人抱着文件走来走去”，德莱佛说道，“但在《星战8》的片场里，工作人员不再像以前那么紧张、焦虑了，因为我们发明了一种语言，从而使得原来的工作变得更加轻松容易了。我认为这更加证明了莱恩有能力融入一个非常稳定的群体，并取得（他自己的）成功。他是一个非常谦逊、聪慧和平易近人的人，我非常期待跟他的合作。”

3.Expect new faces

3.期待新人

4.It picks up where the last installment left off: At the end of "The Force Awakens"

4.《星战8》的故事将会紧接《星战7》的结尾

Daisy Ridley, who plays Rey, tried to give Luke Skywalker's lightsaber back to him. Judging by last month's production announcement, that's where "Episode VIII" will begin.

在《星球大战7：原力觉醒》的结尾处，黛西·雷德利扮演的蕾伊试图把光剑还给卢克·天行者。而从上个月的电影发布会上来看，《星战8》的故事就将会紧接着这段剧情开始。
