Bafta winner John Boyega had an early start today as he started work on Star Wars: Episode VIII.

Speaking before he picked up his Rising Star award on Sunday, he told the BBC's Lizo Mzimba how happy he felt to be on the red carpet.

He also dropped a few hints on what Star Wars fans can expect from the "dope" next instalment, due out in December 2017.
