AceShowbiz - Actors John Boyega and Oscar Isaac were forced to take shelter in the midst of shooting "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" after they were caught up in a sandstorm.
Part of the 2019 blockbuster was filmed on location in Wadi Rum, Jordan, and to mark Star Wars Day on Monday, May 4, 2020, Boyega shared previously-unseen video footage from the desert shoot, which was temporarily halted as they tried to take cover from the strong winds.
"Happy Star Wars day everyone!" Boyega captioned the Instagram post. "Here's myself and Oscar chilling during a sandstorm! We couldn't shoot... good times though."
In the clip, the actors are shown using blankets to shield their faces from the sand as they lay behind a large photography umbrella, with Isaac jokingly covering his whole face and quipping, "I'm scared. I can't see anything. There's so much sand."
"It's good for the skin, think of it as exfoliation," a voice in the distance can be heard saying, as Boyega remarks, "That's what he says!"
