While official word has been minimal, film actor Oscar Issac was able to give a bit of information about what's it's like on set.

In an exclusive with E! Online, the 35-year-old spoke about his experience walking into the director J.J. Abrams-led production. "It was amazing," shared the actor during the SXSW premiere of sci-fi drama "Ex-Machina".

"It's an incredible set. J.J. is such a fun, positive guy," he continued on. "It was really amazing to actually see all the stuff he created," said Issac and shared that everything isn't up to computers. "It was actually real and tactile. He's not just depending on CG. As an actor it was really fun to interact with that world."

"And that's not just from an aesthetic standpoint -- it really does matter -- but it's about how a movie is filmed and the set, it changes it. It changes so many things.

Star Wars Leaks

While details as to the plot and storyline haven't been touched by the young star, he has taken some time to air his perspective regarding the leaks that have been surrounding the upcoming film.

While speaking to Yahoo! Movies (via Screen Rant), the actor said:

"I can't speak for the cast and crew, I can just speak for myself, but for me I thought, Don't you want to wait so you can get the real thing?...But it creates excitement for it. I don't think these little leaks necessarily ruined watching the trailer. And also, the [plot theories] that get formulated based on these things - they couldn't be more far off-base."

The storyline of the film takes place 30 years after the events of Episode VI: Return of the Jedi that included the Battle of Endor.
