We still don't know who he's playing, but we do know this: Oscar Isaac is in Star Wars: Episode VII.

Isaac's lips are sealed regarding his role in the film, but in an interview with The Sunday Times (via Empire), he happily spoke in broader terms about his history with the Star Wars franchise.

"I could not be more excited to be a part of the Star Wars saga. It still seems hard to believe," he said. "Star Wars is a huge part of my family. Collecting toys, throwing themed parties. We had a big one for Return of the Jedi. I came as a gonk droid.”

Isaac also spoke about what director J.J. Abrams, brings to the table.

"He makes really good stories. He puts a lot of heart into them. They don’t feel like they’re just exploitive," he said. "I think there are a lot of different films you can be surprised by, and that have the element of the unknown and I think it is very important. It’s very important. That’s why I do understand some secrecy with certain films, not wanting to let it out."

The secrets will start to come out as Star Wars: Episode VII ramps up production, headed toward its Dec. 18, 2015 release date.
