"It did feel like an intimate set," said Oscar Isaac. "We got on set in our jeans and t-shirts and walked around and rehearsed. To have that kind of time in such a big movie was great." Laura Dern, a newcomer to the Star Wars saga, felt accepted straight away. "It felt like any other film family," she said. "It felt protected and safe and collaborative -- almost like a small movie in a way, but then you'd look up and see Chewbacca!"

Dern described the production as "the greatest dance and party I've ever been invited to". Fellow newcomer, Kelly Marie Tran, said the production "felt like hanging out in someone's backyard making a movie."
