Predictably, Daisy Ridley was unable to say too much about Star Wars Episode VIII when MTV caught up with her on the Oscars red carpet, but she did at least shed some light on where things stand with Luke Skywalker when we see him next.

When we went back to Skellig to do the opening of [Episode] VIII, it was so crazy doing the same scene with a different crew of people.
