0:01:13everything and then they gonna make a
0:01:15movie too
0:01:16well this is official teaser to which
0:01:17means presumably there's also going to
0:01:19be a trailer
0:01:20wow yeah yeah that's what you heard
0:01:24coming to us live from a moving vehicle
0:01:25at serenity Caldwell hello hello I'm
0:01:29really excited to actually get to talk
0:01:31about Oh what star wars new new Star
0:01:35Wars although i think seriously the
0:01:37first time I couldn't talk it was
0:01:39because i was in a moving vehicle as
0:01:40well except this one this time I have a
0:01:43lot of mikes so I guess that makes a
0:01:45little dinner you refuse to be
0:01:47constrained by space and time this time
0:01:49correct i am in my tiredness bar
0:01:52yes so so if if she sounds strange it at
0:01:55any point that is why but will we will
0:01:57make the best of it
0:01:58likewise in the true spirit of flash
0:02:00casting coming to us from a strange
0:02:02location on an iphone from the star wars
0:02:05celebration itself or at least nearby
0:02:07it's a it's our our roving Star Wars
0:02:10correspondent Dan Morgan hi Dan
0:02:12hello Jason pleasure to be with you it's
0:02:16a it's good it's good to have you here
0:02:18you got to you got to see this all in
0:02:19person today didn't you
0:02:20I get it was pretty pretty freaking
0:02:23awesome as Oscar Isaac might say yeah
0:02:25yeah so that was that was quite the
0:02:27treat that I didn't have to come back
0:02:28then and we watched the trailer couple
0:02:30times on my iPad because I missed a lot
0:02:33of stuff with all the screaming I can
0:02:36understand that that was my screaming by
0:02:38the way just listen to the not to that
0:02:39died so I i want to ask about the ground
0:02:43rules here
0:02:44I know that they mentioned a few tiny
0:02:47little tidbits in the panel today that
0:02:49they aren't in the trailer
0:02:51John should we pretend that they didn't
0:02:54do that or what don't want to know those
0:02:57things okay
0:02:57more specifically they they discuss the
0:03:00location of the desert planet that
0:03:02appears in the trailer
0:03:04Arrakis yeah well I mean I planet
0:03:07I I thought they confirmed whether or
0:03:08whether or not or or not it's Tatooine
0:03:11do you care
0:03:12I probably did it instrumental to our
0:03:15conversation that this be revealed what
0:03:17I'm going to take one for the team but I
0:03:18feel like now I don't know otherwise I i
0:03:21get what i'm going to say is we just we
0:03:22should probably refer to it as that
0:03:24desert planet then since it's in
0:03:26determining whether this is tattooing or
0:03:28not from John's perspective even though
0:03:30the rest of us know all right the desert
0:03:33planet we will call it because it's
0:03:35probably all doesn't really last time we
0:03:36talked and warranties and just assumed
0:03:39it was yeah yeah we can continue to talk
0:03:42about in that way if that makes you feel
0:03:44comfortable
0:03:45yeah well they asked they asked JJ
0:03:47Abrams definitively if it is tattooing
0:03:50and we got a definitive answer so rather
0:03:53than you know I I don't wanna I don't
0:03:55want to spoil you on it so I figured we
0:03:56should just say that everybody else to
0:03:58host the definitive answer and we're
0:04:00just gonna dance around it
0:04:02well for everybody else to the Internet
0:04:04yes if you still don't know you can
0:04:06check the internet yea i meant much
0:04:08information is available on the Internet
0:04:10alright so so let's see how do we do
0:04:15this on Thanksgiving morning I their
0:04:17frame by frame
0:04:18I i like the fact that as soon as the
0:04:20trailer dropped we got a lot of demand
0:04:22for many many hours of frame-by-frame
0:04:26analysis so let's start at the beginning
0:04:29which is a it does a sandy desert planet
0:04:33with a vehicle streaking along is who is
0:04:36writing it we don't know it could be
0:04:38Luke Skywalker on a landspeeder it could
0:04:40be Captain Kirk on his motorbike from
0:04:42Star Trek it looks like the refrigerator
0:04:44car from the first season yeah I think
0:04:46that's what it is i would agree that
0:04:48that it's Daisy Ridley riding the
0:04:50refrigerator car that we saw that this
0:04:52is immediately following that when she
0:04:53takes off right could be a water heater
0:04:55to be anything could be anything really
0:04:58yeah and the thing in the foreground
0:04:59originally when I saw the trailer very
0:05:01small i misread it as like again think
0:05:05its Tatooine at like one of those
0:05:07moisture vaporators that had tipped over
0:05:09but of course on second viewing I
0:05:10realize it's actually an x-wing I took
0:05:13me until the home doing to realize that
0:05:15because the tube replays in the in the
0:05:17main auditorium there I was not focused
0:05:19on that at all
0:05:20yeah I when watching on my iPad later
0:05:22was like oh that's totally x-wing that's
0:05:24half buried in say an old-fashioned
0:05:26x-wing there are many yet crashing
0:05:29vehicles this trailer
0:05:30yeah you might have missed the crashed
0:05:33x-wing in the foreground owing to the
0:05:35fact that there is a crashed star
0:05:37destroyer in the background
0:05:40Shh so awesome
0:05:43the most beautiful matte painting when i
0:05:45watch trailer with my son and I asked
0:05:47him what what things stood out there
0:05:49were at our guitars we're talking about
0:05:50the Star Destroyer and he said well
0:05:53maybe in the battle at the end of Return
0:05:55of the Jedi some of the start of stores
0:05:57crashed and i said well if they crash
0:05:59they wouldn't have crashed on Tatooine
0:06:01was that was far away from where the
0:06:03battles taking place but now but
0:06:06presumably there may have been other
0:06:07battles we don't have a nice LOL you
0:06:08don't get there's this the Empire was
0:06:11defeated all over the galaxy in this
0:06:13battle so you know as we see from later
0:06:16in the trailer sometime is fast so
0:06:19presumably there will be more battles
0:06:21also just just to throw it out there
0:06:24the destruction of the death star could
0:06:26have rain down fiery death on the moon
0:06:28of Endor transforming it into a desert
0:06:30planet yet possible entirely possible
0:06:33presence speculation have a lot of sad
0:06:36he walks a lot of city wok music we had
0:06:39a whole forest we're so excited that we
0:06:40won and then all of our foliage was
0:06:42destroyed only the desert he walks
0:06:44survived the villains of episode
0:06:46generally actually are actually fairly
0:06:47walks elbows are jobless the job was in
0:06:51the desert
0:06:51yeah they have the same language they
0:06:53will say obtaining routine that's true
0:06:55kini that's that's a good point the the
0:06:58I do think it's impressive looking at
0:07:00the start crashed our destroyer that
0:07:03that it must have been coming in fairly
0:07:05slow right because otherwise it would
0:07:07have broken into a million pieces so
0:07:09that somebody in the chatroom just
0:07:11that good job Star Destroyer pilot you
0:07:14did kind of as good as we could expect I
0:07:17guess I've been like a long slow slide
0:07:19yeah or could have actually kind of just
0:07:22landed and slowly sunk into the sand and
0:07:24fall into disrepair
0:07:25maybe it's one of those things maybe a
0:07:26day this Star Destroyer that landed on
0:07:29this planet to refuel or something and
0:07:31either got taken over or abandoned it's
0:07:34just yeah
0:07:35unka hunk of abandoned metal i was going
0:07:38to say that thing that stood out to me
0:07:39about it was that my only link we only
0:07:43ever get star destroyers really in space
0:07:45where the relative scale is very
0:07:48different even in the first movie where
0:07:49we get the scale against the spaceship
0:07:51I guess the Tennessee for we get a you
0:07:54know only in relative to like other
0:07:55objects that might be in space so seeing
0:07:57it relative to like the ground is
0:08:00actually makes it to my mind that much
0:08:02more impressive how large it is behind
0:08:05big sand dunes very large maybe it's
0:08:09really close to us i don't like well
0:08:10there's some heat him some haze right
0:08:12that there is a maid to get that to get
0:08:14the the distance right there there's no
0:08:16haze to the x-wing but there's a lot of
0:08:18hay is back behind to the Star Destroyer
0:08:19can we just talk for a second about how
0:08:22beautiful I'm sure it's a cgi matte
0:08:24painting but just how gorgeous that
0:08:26initial shot is because i want that for
0:08:29my desktop and I haven't wanted a star
0:08:31wars photo for my desktop probably since
0:08:34I got my Ralph McQuarrie like my those
0:08:37paintings but that initial opening image
0:08:40is just so evocative of Star Wars it
0:08:43makes me so happy and it's evocative of
0:08:45an after Star Wars like because that's
0:08:47what the series is about it like if you
0:08:50think about you know the prequels are
0:08:51whatever right and then you've got the
0:08:53the main star wars movies and those are
0:08:55about a battle and things are dirty in
0:08:58the future but there's a lot of battle
0:09:00you don't get a lot of aftermath this is
0:09:02kind of one big story about a war and
0:09:04this is so clearly son of like it's the
0:09:06reconstruction error like after war o
0:09:09people are still around but a bunch of
0:09:10crap is broken and it's hanging around
0:09:12to remind you
0:09:13oh yeah there was a war was a good
0:09:15choice of words John because i believe
0:09:16they announced that the first novel that
0:09:18light sort of the new novel that's
0:09:20rebooting the
0:09:22you know star wars books is called
0:09:23aftermath yeah Chuck win big step though
0:09:27yeah I have fallout seems to be sort of
0:09:28the theme here right like that there's
0:09:30you know as John saying like in this was
0:09:32in the same way that this is a
0:09:34university has always been used and
0:09:36weathered you know there is an element
0:09:38of is going to continue to be so and JJ
0:09:41from spread distress that why i like
0:09:42that you know in terms of looking at the
0:09:45universe one of the things he loves
0:09:46about the original movies how they
0:09:48looked so whether it lived in man his
0:09:51love for practical effects which got him
0:09:53a lot of applause from the audience
0:09:54there what else anything else we want to
0:09:57talk about about the about the this this
0:10:00shot the CIA it is i mean i didn't have
0:10:03that Captain Kirk moment because there
0:10:05is a similar shot in JJ Abrams 2009 star
0:10:08trek and which is fine i like that the
0:10:11the refrigerator cars have been along
0:10:13and we've got this the sense of fallout
0:10:15that there was a big war between the
0:10:17Empire and there and the Rebel Alliance
0:10:18and you know it
0:10:20war is messy and there's just there's
0:10:21potentially just junk laying around from
0:10:24when the war was over and the shot do
0:10:27you think of is this then assembling the
0:10:28enterprise on earth yeah whether there's
0:10:31that there's that whole sequence that's
0:10:32his like Luke Skywalker moment in star
0:10:35trek 2009 when when when when he's
0:10:37riding his motorcycle and there's the
0:10:39dust trail and then he pulls up and sees
0:10:42the enterprise there yeah although i
0:10:44think the composition here i really
0:10:45enjoyed the pan reveal because it does
0:10:48take ok we're focusing on this little
0:10:50thing that's flying across there in it
0:10:51ok there's a thing in the view ok the
0:10:53x-wing ok there's a giant star to star
0:10:55there so it's really i think it's a
0:10:57beautiful shot just in its kinetic
0:10:58motion to as we sort of gradually reveal
0:11:01this whole scenery
0:11:03yeah the dune that's right next to the
0:11:06Star Destroyer is the same shade as a
0:11:07starter story so just click the doing
0:11:09just literally changing color and then
0:11:11the doing as like a big Craig Lee spot
0:11:13and like that's no dune it's a spaceship
0:11:16yeah all right let's move on what
0:11:21whenever we hear things go black we hear
0:11:23Luke Skywalker say the force is strong
0:11:26and in in my family my father has it and
0:11:30we see instant done
0:11:32a burned-out brick Darth Vader mask
0:11:36thinking red he was at you know and
0:11:41seeing a couple times again rewatching
0:11:42it on the smaller screen it's like a
0:11:45missile is like a presentation going on
0:11:48here oh yeah it's being presented use it
0:11:50on a pedestal sorry I'm it's a it's a
0:11:52presentation thing that we're were you
0:11:56know it's a great like a crane shot or
0:11:58something or it's or its being yes
0:12:00something isn't presented yeah it's not
0:12:02that it was dug up it was like it it's
0:12:04being stored somewhere i feel like i'm
0:12:06like almost like a museum piece
0:12:07yeah my question is they you know did
0:12:12they burn it and then take it out of the
0:12:13fire and now it's made of tough stuff
0:12:15off
0:12:15well I mean I don't know if it's even on
0:12:18a pedestal or for looking kind of like
0:12:20secret Luke Skywalker cave with momentum
0:12:23with mementos and he just happens to its
0:12:25shaped himself a steel pedestal for for
0:12:30the mementos of his life
0:12:31it could just be a small table and end
0:12:34table that looks great on an empty right
0:12:37it's a it's a conversation starter i
0:12:38really had together
0:12:41so tell me about the mask well my dad
0:12:45everybody has their chocolate my dad
0:12:47board or this mask when he killed a lot
0:12:49of people and they died in it wanted to
0:12:51rule the galaxy with me as father and
0:12:53son that didn't work out but in the end
0:12:54we can we patched things I burned his
0:12:56body and then when that the fire went
0:13:00out we retrieved them burn mask
0:13:03I think it's more likely that this is
0:13:05evil people retrieved it was a totem of
0:13:08the dark side of the force and somebody
0:13:10said either sign of that of your crazy
0:13:13planet Syria it being and/or you know it
0:13:19is that it is a very evil looking at
0:13:21table so it was from the darkside ikea
0:13:23not the light and instructions are
0:13:26really inscrutable and they always make
0:13:29it take out one screw
0:13:30I know they don't like it that if I
0:13:33wondered if this was like giving just
0:13:36you know we saw the shot in conjunction
0:13:37with Luke's voiceover but i also have
0:13:39the impression that let me was holding
0:13:41on to for some reason we hear Luke
0:13:44Skywalker and he's saying something
0:13:45that's
0:13:46not new it also gives us into the fact
0:13:49that i feel like the events of the these
0:13:52movies are tied so strongly to the
0:13:54events of the previous movie like it's
0:13:55not just you know we saw a lot of new
0:13:57characters obviously the first teaser we
0:13:59see a lot here but it also implies you
0:14:02know there's a really close I to be the
0:14:04sort of the sky walker family right like
0:14:06that is still very active here right
0:14:09we're not leaving all that behind and
0:14:10moving on just to focus on like entirely
0:14:13new character
0:14:14yeah this is the suggestion here is very
0:14:16strong but by quoting this dialogue what
0:14:18Luke is doing is talking to somebody in
0:14:21his family who is strong with the force
0:14:23question is probably is it his family or
0:14:28is it latest family
0:14:29I'm inclined to believe it looks
0:14:33yeah like that was another question I
0:14:34just got to my son who is he talking to
0:14:36when he says that because he's talking
0:14:37to somebody
0:14:38presumably who I and and then uh my son
0:14:42said well it's obvious it's obviously
0:14:44Luke's child and I said well looks
0:14:46traveled who's the mother and he hadn't
0:14:48thought of that and he didn't really
0:14:49have an answer and I don't know either
0:14:50because I don't know anything about to
0:14:51be but it's it sounds like he's giving
0:14:54his is sort of you know now it's my now
0:14:56it's the time when you learn about the
0:14:57facts of life one of them axes you
0:14:59probably got the force so I mean 30
0:15:01years on in 30 years on he probably made
0:15:03met somebody nice and settled down and
0:15:05had a kid so you know I think there's a
0:15:06lot of opportunity in there for him to
0:15:08have plant leucas layer are brother and
0:15:10sister so Luke's Family we can't say
0:15:11Luke's Family and last family they're
0:15:13the same family there are you don't
0:15:15necessarily feel like our the idea
0:15:17layers children
0:15:18yeah what's interesting to me because
0:15:21obviously the entire EU has been thrown
0:15:24out officially and it's not canon
0:15:26anymore but you know as someone who
0:15:28deeply deeply red and love you there are
0:15:33you know latest latest family played a
0:15:35pretty big role in that and in terms of
0:15:38the romances we have seen in the
0:15:40original trilogy it's not out of its not
0:15:44out of the question that we might be
0:15:46talking about last daughter or son but I
0:15:51I do feel like it's an interesting
0:15:52choice to have you
0:15:54deliver it but then again looks the Jedi
0:15:56Master so i don't know i'm i'm so
0:15:59conflicted so many conflicting emotions
0:16:02yes I mean we don't see him here either
0:16:04but I you know I think we probably will
0:16:06get them we're gonna salt in the trailer
0:16:09that's a question that's an open
0:16:11question let me tell you about one of
0:16:14our sponsors for this week's and

0:17:42to our out for supporting be
0:17:44uncomfortable so we move to the next
0:17:46scene and it is a fiery something
0:17:49there's some some members coming off of
0:17:51off of something fiery r2d2 is sitting
0:17:54looking at the fiery thing and a hooded
0:17:57figure with a metal hand
0:17:59and places it on r2d2 could this be Luke
0:18:03Skywalker I think that's the implication
0:18:05could be anybody could be anybody
0:18:07I am I choose to believe ninety-nine
0:18:10percent that it is luke skywalker
0:18:12because i love the idea of lucan are to
0:18:16being that you know with again wizened
0:18:19old Jedi Lucas become a recluse of sorts
0:18:22and is hanging out with his droid buddy
0:18:26in the middle of the swamp essential but
0:18:28why why doesn't he have ye have a middle
0:18:30and that's what I want like it in the
0:18:31skin fell off over the years he always
0:18:33had a metal and it's just white heat if
0:18:36you think you've never prayed he seems
0:18:38like he's not became a recluse right
0:18:40like a cartoon looks a little beat up to
0:18:41right yeah if he decided to run away
0:18:44from the world for whatever reason he
0:18:47wouldn't exactly have access to back to
0:18:48tanks and fancy medical droids of course
0:18:51the creepy internet you know sort of
0:18:53suggestion there also is that it if he
0:18:55starts to also look a lot more like
0:18:56anakin you know with the creepy metal
0:18:58hand so there's a you know looking a
0:19:01certain amount of darth vader and as
0:19:02we've just seen in the previous shot ya
0:19:05know I the reason I thought it wasn't
0:19:06Luke is because his arm looks skinny
0:19:08yeah he does what he is going to come
0:19:10down to that looks like a 18 to 24 year
0:19:13old not like you know it looks like a
0:19:16young man a young man's arm and you
0:19:18can't tell from that you have something
0:19:19about the hood dark hood and light
0:19:21sleeve mismatch to i also thought was a
0:19:23lot if you want to get a picky
0:19:25why stop now well I mean the dark hood
0:19:28symbolizing the dark side of the rest
0:19:31more like will be wide dark dark local
0:19:33light shirt it's the mixture of the two
0:19:36I don't know how this fashion could've
0:19:38changed in 30 years i don't know i like
0:19:40the idea that potentially Luke you know
0:19:43isn't wearing the he's embraced his
0:19:46robot arm numbness and there's no way
0:19:49just one more assignment just closer to
0:19:52his father if that if that is Luke it's
0:19:55just kind of like in a galaxy like that
0:19:57he's I mean look at his shirts dirty
0:19:58everything's dirty it's just like well
0:20:00the skin started to fall off after a
0:20:01while and I didn't want to go back into
0:20:03most Eisley or wherever to get fixed and
0:20:05so living out in the woods as many years
0:20:07guess what all the skin is gone but
0:20:09and you can see my robot and barely
0:20:11possible but like I said that arm looks
0:20:13skinny to me and like he looks like kind
0:20:14of like he's doing like a Vulcan
0:20:15mind-meld with it was through their
0:20:17supposed to be either pat him gently but
0:20:18it's like is he going to fix something
0:20:20inside his brain magically which made me
0:20:23wonder if there was like a if it could
0:20:25be like a feeling trying to get
0:20:26information out of our to that was sort
0:20:28of the thing I felt like the first time
0:20:29I saw because I agree didn't look at the
0:20:31movie looked a little threatening right
0:20:33and so he's by a campfire I guess
0:20:35something that gives off members at
0:20:36first I thought he might've been a lava
0:20:38planet but I'm like no those that love
0:20:39doesn't give up members i don't think i
0:20:41was so 2000 John I know just trying to
0:20:45you know identify the planets yeah it's
0:20:47a fun it's a fire of some kind whether
0:20:49it's a campfire or not I can't see any
0:20:50s'mores there but it's not your type of
0:20:53campfire I'm sad that I can't really
0:20:56walk it right this second because of the
0:20:57information driving because what i
0:20:59thought i mean i watch the trailer for
0:21:00probably 15 times this afternoon maybe
0:21:04more
0:21:04I and it seemed very sweet like very
0:21:07much like a sweet gesture to me not a
0:21:09sinister gesture but maybe maybe I just
0:21:11can't see anything involving our to you
0:21:13as a sinister scene but uh we'll see
0:21:16i'll i have to go back and re-watch it
0:21:18out i think the trailer implies that
0:21:20this is Luke but it might not be but I
0:21:22think the trailer is absolutely trying
0:21:24to imply it right when we mentioned my
0:21:26father we see Darth Vader when we when
0:21:27we mention submission me
0:21:30we see this hand we mention this sister
0:21:31we see what looks like a woman handing a
0:21:34lightsaber to somebody in the next scene
0:21:36right I handing over a lightsaber
0:21:39ok so i have a climate issue which is it
0:21:43this looks to my eyes to be Anakin's
0:21:46original white and the blue cat in star
0:21:48wars empire strikes back with lots are
0:21:51tumbling into the gas clouds of best
0:21:53bitter want some senior think so
0:21:56somebody went down and coming I guess I
0:21:59have to find my lightsaber on these
0:22:01things
0:22:02the force is strong with that lightsaber
0:22:06no I am I am 99.5 percent short that is
0:22:09in fact that looks kind of Anakin's
0:22:12original lightsaber and Luke's
0:22:14lightsaber for a new hope
0:22:17yeah either that one or 10 or its want
0:22:20to say matters it is identical but all
0:22:23lightsabers are not all lightsabers are
0:22:25unique in theory according to you know I
0:22:28get you
0:22:29so I guess it could all you know maybe
0:22:30they just make identical lightsabers now
0:22:32about that said mom I mean I don't think
0:22:35they would do
0:22:35there's no reason they were making
0:22:36identical problem is it was like rebuilt
0:22:38for nostalgic reasons it does look
0:22:39pretty shiny but now that's the one
0:22:40having built both that lightsaber and
0:22:42Darth Vader's lightsaber out of Lego I
0:22:44spend a while studying them and i'm
0:22:46pretty sure that's so then the question
0:22:47becomes of course why why is that
0:22:51lightsaber here and why is that why is a
0:22:53female hand again apparently to wait
0:22:56another few minutes I'll hands so the
0:22:58question is like is either one of the
0:22:59sets of hands Carrie Fisher I can't
0:23:01really tell
0:23:02I don't think the one-handed an office
0:23:04Carrie Fisher the one receiving it might
0:23:06be but it's hard to say that seems like
0:23:08the suggestion again based on the
0:23:10framing and based on the voiceover but
0:23:12you know we've been it's unclear right
0:23:16they deliberately or not she's wearing
0:23:18of some sort
0:23:19they deliberately are not like you know
0:23:20panting up to her face obviously so
0:23:22we're left with some position
0:23:24alright anything more to say about
0:23:25handing over a lightsaber well there's
0:23:27significant 72 and i won't go into
0:23:29details you know miners they may be
0:23:31mentioned during the panel today but
0:23:34like it does look as though me like
0:23:36something is being you know turned over
0:23:38almost like it was found maybe I don't
0:23:41know maybe it was on it maybe was on an
0:23:43end table 8 x coordinate is helping
0:23:45interesting look at Walker's private at
0:23:47predator captive strange oddities now I
0:23:50you know the one thing i will say that
0:23:52really got me excited
0:23:53those are definitely female hands and
0:23:55there's something really exciting about
0:23:57seeing women hands and lightsabers
0:24:00because that's not we really haven't
0:24:02seen female Jedi or aside from you know
0:24:04in animation so the drama and stuff
0:24:09potential female Jedi gets me very
0:24:11excited they were in the prequels don't
0:24:13agree with this but yes but not much is
0:24:15not much to do
0:24:16that's not to think about it yeah I'm
0:24:18I'm excluding the prequels because to me
0:24:20honestly I'm I'm ready to forget they
0:24:23haven't
0:24:23we've done those podcasts and looks like
0:24:27there might be two runs in the
0:24:27background there it's kind of hard to
0:24:29tell
0:24:29look sir droids are just focus yeah and
0:24:32like so even though we can't see the
0:24:34people's faces you get the impression of
0:24:35the person who's receiving the
0:24:37lightsaber is looking down at it like
0:24:39you know there's an angle that maybe
0:24:42they're not just hand each others like I
0:24:43found the end table put it away like
0:24:44it's you know like like dances like a
0:24:46handoff of like there's no ever wanted
0:24:49you to have this or we found this or
0:24:50whatever yeah one that's also it's sort
0:24:52of painting up like this is a a smaller
0:24:54person giving it to a much taller person
0:24:56so although I again the context of the
0:24:58trailer would have you believe this is
0:25:00Princess Leia handing her father's
0:25:02lightsaber to the next generation
0:25:05it could very easily be something
0:25:06completely different and i'll point out
0:25:08that although it looks it looks like
0:25:10these are these are women's hands
0:25:12potentially gwendoline christie is in
0:25:15this movie and she's tall and yeah maybe
0:25:18that's her receiving it because the
0:25:19person receiving it is much taller than
0:25:21the person giving it i was thinking the
0:25:22person receiving it was later and that
0:25:25could be the person giving you a
0:25:26seahorse even could be seated small
0:25:28houses but i thought i could do I agreed
0:25:31with a person receives a PLA there is a
0:25:33lot of focus also on the obviously again
0:25:36we're focused on a lightsaber here are
0:25:37action sort of moves with that
0:25:39so once again with the weight is given
0:25:41to an object rather than to a character
0:25:43literally what you're saying that the
0:25:46droid is enough object not a character
0:25:48I'm saying that it's a it is not a
0:25:51person it is a you know it is a it's not
0:25:55a princess not a flesh-and-blood person
0:25:57that the handing off does look like it's
0:26:00an alien too by the way in one frame you
0:26:02can see that that that looks like it's
0:26:04an orange alien with a funny face
0:26:06justice suntan i'm on that unknown name
0:26:10distant planet right at hand look you
0:26:12two
0:26:13yeah like this to me knuckles your hands
0:26:16will look like that's too someday but we
0:26:18did we did find my lightsaber in the
0:26:20best burnout floating zone and our
0:26:23submarine came back with this then okay
0:26:27and then you have the power to this
0:26:29Christmas boom and we get lightsabers
0:26:33are not like super x-wings again zooming
0:26:36across the water
0:26:37a very different shot this time from the
0:26:38one that we saw in the first teaser
0:26:40where we were kind of watching them from
0:26:41the side and now we're right in front of
0:26:43them
0:26:44that was the morning this is after the
0:26:46successful mission is this beautiful i
0:26:49love them them kicking up water although
0:26:50have imagined you're like out fishing
0:26:52one day and you're just like that area
0:26:55fishing fish and then the and suddenly
0:26:57this weekend x-wing blue those stupid
0:27:00x-wing blue angels always lie and kids
0:27:03yeah yeah nice nice weeks there it's a
0:27:06great another great sort of like
0:27:07movement shot again you know we talked
0:27:09about this in the first podcast about
0:27:11the trailers you know but so many space
0:27:13battles of course in the original
0:27:14trilogy taking place in you know in the
0:27:16blackness of space because it's a lot
0:27:18easier to Matt shots against them and so
0:27:20seeing x-wings flying through the
0:27:22atmosphere is still quite a treat
0:27:24yeah it's all it's aight x-wings in the
0:27:28shot by my count it seems alright and
0:27:33then making trouble and upsetting the
0:27:35fish and oscar isaac is like an night is
0:27:39going woohoo
0:27:41he seems pretty happy but not yet be
0:27:42that's not what he's saying oh we still
0:27:46have our red black sort of you know
0:27:49helmet motif going on the recognizable
0:27:52rebel symbol some more about shan his
0:27:54little toilets jacket there but like you
0:27:57know so much again like so much what we
0:27:59saw seem so to you know take directly to
0:28:01the original trilogy so you guys are
0:28:05bigger ship nerds that I am how much
0:28:08different is are these models of X way
0:28:11from our return of the jedi they have
0:28:14split engines like the engines are
0:28:17semicircles rather than full circles
0:28:19which they tie believe are in the
0:28:22original trilogy so like they look then
0:28:25we talked about this a little bit on the
0:28:26first broadcasted they look a little bit
0:28:28more like the realms McCrory concept art
0:28:32which I know they drew heavily from we
0:28:34also have split wings biggest so unlike
0:28:36a regular x-wing where when the wings
0:28:38are closed you see two wings a top wing
0:28:40like a top piece of bread and a bottom
0:28:42like about a piece of bread in this
0:28:43situation on these x-wings when they
0:28:45close one
0:28:46part of the Rings the front half of the
0:28:47wing and one part of the back at but
0:28:49it's one layer thing
0:28:50yeah yeah okay it's easier to see that
0:28:52after they're like the flyover I like
0:28:54the super seventies plastic box on Oscar
0:28:58Isaac so yes there with the big plastic
0:29:00but ass
0:29:01it's like a like a Nintendo cartridge
0:29:03has been attached to his chest right
0:29:05enjoy that it actually doesn't do
0:29:07anything even in the star wars universe
0:29:08is just there for like continuity he's
0:29:11going to organ computer in the back has
0:29:12got plastic tubes like all nine yards
0:29:14ya gonna do how I i know i get to talk
0:29:19in that first trailer thing so i just
0:29:20have to shut make it brief shoutout for
0:29:23just how real this movie looks Bob and I
0:29:26know that was one of JJ Abrams big goals
0:29:30is to you know sort of return us to the
0:29:32the tangible aspect of the star wars
0:29:35universe and every single shot i see
0:29:38including of course droids which i'm
0:29:40sure we will talk about later on I just
0:29:43get me so it fills me with a joy for
0:29:47star wars that i really haven't had a
0:29:49long time because the prequels felt so
0:29:52plasticky right they didn't it didn't
0:29:55feel like you could walk into that world
0:29:57anywhere up whereas i feel like this
0:30:01this version of Star Wars JJ Abrams Star
0:30:04Wars feels so lived in and it feels
0:30:06outdoorsy more like it doesn't feel
0:30:08soundstage like a lot of the prequels I
0:30:10mean if you do it in a soundstage and
0:30:12you can make a lookout Doors you win
0:30:14like I don't care if you actually do it
0:30:15on location but you have to like if it
0:30:17looks if i look at it and say that's a
0:30:19sound stage with green screens you
0:30:21failed and so much of a likely said I
0:30:24outdoorsy John after we talked to him
0:30:25for a while at the bonfire see ya ya ya
0:30:28can be like an inversion to start where
0:30:30else if that's on a soundstage I don't
0:30:32care as long as I think it's outside but
0:30:34so much of the prequels was like did not
0:30:36look like it was outside the lighting
0:30:38was off
0:30:38I you know it's not like you can see
0:30:40Matt lines or green screen or anything
0:30:42but you could just tell like that's
0:30:43clearly not uh you know that they don't
0:30:46you have not convinced me to their
0:30:47outdoors even though you're trying to
0:30:49tell me their address you have not
0:30:50convinced me that was outside the window
0:30:51is that right
0:30:52shiny it's the matrix right it's all the
0:30:55whiting wasn't there yet nice rented you
0:30:57know JJ Abrams talked a little bit today
0:30:58about
0:30:58like wanting everything to look like you
0:31:01know you can easily mentioned that very
0:31:03fact like the lighting looks good here
0:31:04if he did a very good job of talking
0:31:06about what he liked about the original
0:31:08without saying explicitly this is what
0:31:09went wrong with the prequels but it felt
0:31:12very much like that was the kind exactly
0:31:13what he was saying
0:31:15yeah it's hard to do like when you have
0:31:17you know is a fine line here at you have
0:31:19an indoor scene and there's a window and
0:31:21outside the window is outdoors and it's
0:31:23not really an important part of the
0:31:24scene but if you don't make the outside
0:31:26of the window looks like the actual
0:31:27outdoors the whole thing feels
0:31:28claustrophobic and you feel like you
0:31:30feel like you're just in like you know
0:31:31the truman show where it's like there's
0:31:32a movie showing outside your window
0:31:34really you're inside deep inside
0:31:35something you know it just feels too
0:31:38confined
0:31:39it's funny to me because I feel I still
0:31:41feel like you know looking back the
0:31:43prequels momentarily
0:31:45the only thing that feels real about the
0:31:48prequels to be are some of the
0:31:50Palestines on Naboo and some of the
0:31:52summer cottage on the zoo because that
0:31:55actually was shot on location and shot
0:31:57outdoors and featured real buildings
0:31:59well but at some of the Tatooine stuff
0:32:01and in episode one especially to mission
0:32:03and my piano and you if they have less
0:32:05challenging scenario so first of all I
0:32:07think the entire pod race which of
0:32:08course happens nowhere but in a computer
0:32:10for the most part or with tiny models
0:32:12that are shot on a set that for the most
0:32:14part feels like it's outdoors
0:32:15alright well you know but like you think
0:32:17it was much easier senior like well
0:32:19we're gonna have these people sitting on
0:32:20a couch in Khorasan and they're on a
0:32:22balcony or this big open window you can
0:32:24get away like going up in an escalator
0:32:26or elevator
0:32:28yeah i didn't i didn't feel like any of
0:32:30the things out the windows were really
0:32:31there I felt like it was a movie playing
0:32:32behind them and it just it kills it you
0:32:34can get away with in the pod racing
0:32:35because it's fast and blurry well it's
0:32:38very bright
0:32:39it's real lighting and it's nothing like
0:32:41anything that's really like we all can
0:32:43identify we've all seen people sitting
0:32:45on a couch
0:32:46very few of us have seen actual Padre
0:32:47cysts right like it's I think it's
0:32:50easier to sell a desert and bright
0:32:52someone that it is to sell a movie
0:32:53Twilight sitting behind peoples then you
0:32:55have to match the lighting of like well
0:32:56it was moody Twilight outside and
0:32:58Coruscant
0:32:59how would the light look on people's
0:33:00faces indoors and then just does a
0:33:02slight mismatch and that's all it takes
0:33:04so I'm i also wanted to point out that
0:33:06the i like i like the outdoorsy stuff
0:33:09JJ Abrams said today
0:33:12not a spoiler but that they are looking
0:33:14at an assembly of the whole movie
0:33:16without this without the CGI and he said
0:33:20the great thing about it is you know
0:33:21what's going on and that's because
0:33:24there's so much real stuff in it and
0:33:26again the implication there is if you're
0:33:28shooting on a virtual set all you have
0:33:31is people in front of a green screen and
0:33:33you don't know what you're seeing and
0:33:34that little shy playing charades right
0:33:36your actors don't have anything to react
0:33:38to exactly and that's why I like a lord
0:33:40of the rings they had Andy Serkis
0:33:42they're wearing the little funny
0:33:43jumpsuit with the ping-pong balls the
0:33:44even though they're gonna totally erase
0:33:46him and that's just what he wears John
0:33:48geez that's why he wasn't wearing the
0:33:50ping-pong balls but anywhere wearing the
0:33:52jumpsuit it's like why is even in this
0:33:53scene is to give them something to act
0:33:55off of to say it roughly it's gonna look
0:33:57like this guy
0:33:58yes speaking of things that act up can
0:34:00we talk about mediate yet no not yet
0:34:04nope we don't get worried that we we're
0:34:06gonna go in order here so hold on next
0:34:08scene next scene we have a we have
0:34:11apparently our villain and this and this
0:34:15villain is care is this is our friend
0:34:18with the with the lightsaber with the
0:34:21two little scarred lightsaber is coming
0:34:23off of it the villain villain is wearing
0:34:26a dark cloak but not white a white shirt
0:34:29and has a am a ski mask on and is
0:34:32swiping is swiping very rapidly along
0:34:34with sparks by the way swiping a bonfire
0:34:38to is a bonfire stormtrooper and a
0:34:41bonfire stormtrooper and a and a tent
0:34:45and a lightsaber without like when you
0:34:47said swiping very vigorously Jason
0:34:48because you made it sound like he was
0:34:49using an iphone yeah swipe that he's
0:34:51trying to unlock his lights in with all
0:34:53these masks and you know like they have
0:34:55a hooded figures who are also wearing
0:34:57masks they look kind of robotic and
0:34:58wearing shiny gloves are getting a big
0:35:00destiny vibe off this guy haha
0:35:03is hunter class obviously now warlock
0:35:06please
0:35:07oh no look at the mud look at the ball
0:35:10I don't know it's hard anyways yeah he's
0:35:12got a light saber and he's hitting
0:35:14something and he seems upset and by the
0:35:16way this is the same bonfire e-type
0:35:18scene because you've got the embers yeah
0:35:20looks like a TV in the background and a
0:35:22stormtrooper behind him so it looks like
0:35:23kind of the same setting where we just
0:35:26are two and the weird creepy hand
0:35:27yeah there's a lot of bonfire your
0:35:29rising on aren't you could be I that is
0:35:33a very short scene it's followed
0:35:34immediately by a shot of daisy ridley
0:35:36and John boyega and bb/9 running / roll
0:35:41with her BB BB BB is equal
0:35:44yeah you before BB king BB King you
0:35:48really want John boyega are all running
0:35:50went out that every single shot of John
0:35:52boyega we have in this trailer and the
0:35:54last trailer he's always running routes
0:35:56but he'll African yeah he's it's like a
0:35:58bad day for him so far
0:36:00I gotta love that he's like c-3po of
0:36:03this movie
0:36:04can I just liked it you know we work
0:36:07this is a I you know we it's not giving
0:36:09anything away say that he is eight main
0:36:11character you know I and he's because
0:36:13he's been featured very heavily and all
0:36:15of this is punchy face we see in the
0:36:17first light and and I like to think the
0:36:19fact that like we're all used to having
0:36:20characters were hyper competent great
0:36:21everything he just seems like he's
0:36:23freaked out on him and I really enjoy
0:36:25these sweaty he's put upon he's scared
0:36:28he's running away from explosions just
0:36:31like you know he should not get out of
0:36:33bed that morning yeah in this so in this
0:36:35second at-bat we she's gotta a stick of
0:36:39some kind
0:36:40he's he's just running with a leather
0:36:42jacket and and bb-8 is rolling himself
0:36:45away as eight from a an explosion that
0:36:47keeps getting worse because it tie
0:36:49fighter a single time I fighter is a
0:36:52strafing wherever they're running away
0:36:54from on sandy planet and the fighter as
0:36:56usual has lousy game yesterday little
0:37:00shooting at the enemy shooting at the
0:37:02building they're running out of its
0:37:03shooting at them then it's got really
0:37:04bad aim shooting at that building maybe
0:37:06the TIE fighter like piles I've got an
0:37:08upgrade in the last 30 years
0:37:09yeah you see something like it looks
0:37:11like a bunch of disks buried in the
0:37:12background
0:37:13it's not supposed to be but look how
0:37:14Jeff shield generator yeah Empire is
0:37:17just a hunk of junk buried in the ground
0:37:19and there's some other people off to the
0:37:20left also running away from this
0:37:21explosion Bismarck State Building yeah
0:37:25the building has been recently evacuated
0:37:26because explosion caused tie fighters
0:37:28are coming to blown up
0:37:29yes I really wanted to make our adorable
0:37:32little ball droid roll away from
0:37:35explosions
0:37:36yeah and so you know this is something
0:37:37where r 2 unless he uses his little
0:37:39prequel jetpacks like he's not going to
0:37:41be able to keep up with people running
0:37:43away from an explosion but the ball
0:37:44droid
0:37:45no problem sand ball droid handles and
0:37:47bb-8 handle sandwich and generally also
0:37:49a in inline of him being upset about
0:37:51things about halfway through this little
0:37:53clip when the the latest firing from the
0:37:57TIE fighter smacks and there's a second
0:37:59explosion he does an extra screen mid
0:38:02screen because uh yeah he's definitely
0:38:06having a rough day bad data and the
0:38:07woman running see she's you know seems
0:38:10much more together
0:38:11I don't have time to mention she's
0:38:12carrying the big bass clarinet or
0:38:14whatever she's got no she just for
0:38:16running away with the bank statement but
0:38:18not really
0:38:19tusken raider staff to you later staffed
0:38:22not wait those are curved on the end
0:38:25table like an acorn Lightcap usually
0:38:27right is looking better because i saw i
0:38:29saw plastic and I was gonna say just and
0:38:32wondered once you go to the Star Wars
0:38:33convention or something and she by the
0:38:36way she is wearing a total Luke
0:38:39Skywalker e Tatooine a new hope outfit
0:38:41here
0:38:42oh yeah yeah yeahs to the wraps
0:38:45yeah it's the long flowing she she has
0:38:47only she has a light color to me that I
0:38:49want to be the only difference is they
0:38:51want to show a little bit more skin so
0:38:52she's her sleeves don't connect all the
0:38:54way up to the you know the inner park so
0:38:56it's a little bit reviewing on her than
0:38:58it was on Luke because the other point
0:39:00Portman's terrible outfit from yes
0:39:03exactly an idea let's get this could be
0:39:06a stylistic choice was that an
0:39:07uncharitable could get scared

0:40:34BB BB 8 when it is in the shot so if you
0:40:37want to talk about about it you do that
0:40:39now
0:40:40okay well not not to spoil anything for
0:40:44John but i think he knows this already
0:40:47it's a physical prop yeah they said that
0:40:49during the first trailer they have it on
0:40:51rolling around on stage today I do have
0:40:54some pictures of it rolling around on
0:40:55stage that's pretty crazy i have copious
0:40:58video because oh my gosh if they don't
0:41:01figure out a way to market him into the
0:41:03most adorable christmas toy i will cry I
0:41:06I think Star Wars has got your marketing
0:41:09taken care of cable disaster was asking
0:41:12about that on Twitter today and about
0:41:14the possible way could work and
0:41:15eventually through his tweets i saw that
0:41:17like there's some toy company did fear
0:41:19of it
0:41:19yeah that that has pioneered the
0:41:21technology to make toys like this and
0:41:23they use that same thing to make the
0:41:24price still say when I see the one in
0:41:27the original teaser where it's bouncing
0:41:28along real fast but the thing bouncing
0:41:30on it oh yeah it still looks a little
0:41:31bit CGH to me but like the physical
0:41:34wanna it's kind of like where you know
0:41:36the original movies they had multiple
0:41:37are to some remote controls
0:41:39the Kenny Baker was in and everything
0:41:41like i imagine that there are many shots
0:41:43with the practical deviate in them and
0:41:46their other shots for a hero cg like
0:41:48this one for instance it could be seeing
0:41:49you on his way in the background is
0:41:51blurry yet wouldn't have bothered to try
0:41:53to get the droid like I don't know how
0:41:55fast toilet can move is what i'm getting
0:41:56at it but ya wanna hit up boo super fast
0:42:00i will fit
0:42:00yeah interesting tidbit kathleen kennedy
0:42:02mentioned that Robert Iger himself after
0:42:05his company apparently for the body
0:42:07well there was a story reported last
0:42:08October that Sphero said it would be
0:42:11partnering with Disney star wars
0:42:13franchise to make a new toy
0:42:16so there you guys what yeah there's the
0:42:19answer and then it looks like there's a
0:42:21there's like a magnetic connection for
0:42:23the for the head unit electromagnets
0:42:26yeah although it does yeah it does move
0:42:28a lot slower on stage and you could tell
0:42:29like it whirled around pretty well but
0:42:31every once awhile look like I'm never
0:42:32like on the verge of falling for ya like
0:42:35I don't have my theory on how it worked
0:42:37having seen the two second clip of the
0:42:39physical one rolling around on twitter i
0:42:41was that it's not involving magnets that
0:42:44basically the thing on top is on top of
0:42:46a bunch of wheels that would they can
0:42:48roll in various directions and basically
0:42:50the ball on the bottom is easy to make a
0:42:51ball that self-propelled right we know
0:42:52how to do that with internal you know
0:42:54motors and weights and stuff and then a
0:42:56thing on top simply races to stay atop
0:42:59the ball is in which direction the ball
0:43:01is moving and correcting for it and so
0:43:03that puts a limit on the speed because
0:43:04you suddenly make the ball starts to
0:43:05move very quickly in the head can't
0:43:07react fast enough to help local toppling
0:43:08off like that it's not actually
0:43:10connected there know Maggie's holding on
0:43:11the only thing holding it on is gravity
0:43:13and little tiny wheels and motors that
0:43:15keep it a top of thing
0:43:16yeah based on what cable because I was
0:43:18following that threat as well i think
0:43:21the the original MIT project the cable
0:43:24found was using electromagnets and
0:43:26basically a balancing rod inside the
0:43:29actual actual ball so I I don't know I I
0:43:35tend to believe that it is at least
0:43:37magnetic in nature based on what the
0:43:40based on the footage I saw of it rolling
0:43:43around on stage the problem of thing
0:43:45that with the magnets is like I mean I i
0:43:47guess if you had just the shell of the
0:43:50ball rotating but the internal magnet
0:43:52always stays point straight up number
0:43:53two how the ball rolls you know domain
0:43:55like what is yeah I don't know what I'm
0:43:58trying to think what's i'm thinking of
0:43:59it the way that you know like when
0:44:01you're a kid you play with like magnets
0:44:04shavings and you put the magnet
0:44:05underneath the paper and as you move the
0:44:07paper from side-to-side the magnet
0:44:09shavings move from side to side i have
0:44:11to assume that they have a magnet like
0:44:13on a tray of some kind and then the tray
0:44:15is robot robotically controlled so that
0:44:18basically the idea being that as they
0:44:20should tell the train to go left the
0:44:22magnet goes laughter than the ball head
0:44:25rotates lamps and such are i'm trying to
0:44:28think about what economic the builds a
0:44:29toy and the thing that makes it you know
0:44:33electromagnets that's power and
0:44:34everything but on the other hand to do
0:44:36it the way I described requires fairly
0:44:38fast and sophisticated computers to
0:44:40react to the ball so maybe that would
0:44:42only be practical for the actual prop so
0:44:44yeah we will all get these toys &
0:44:46finance community involvement find out
0:44:48what ya many BBS die different word
0:44:51android but now i really like what toys
0:44:54aside i do want to be v8 but i really
0:44:58love the design of his droid i know a
0:45:00lot of people made fun of him for being
0:45:02a little bit of soccer ball in the first
0:45:04and the first trailer up but I
0:45:06especially watching him on that on the
0:45:10keynote today and watching the second
0:45:12trailer it's such a different like we we
0:45:16seeing the ad astra max and we've gotten
0:45:19so used to ask the maximum gotten so
0:45:21used two protocol droids on that this is
0:45:23a very different it's very different
0:45:25type of movement and they seem to have
0:45:27discovered that you know even with a
0:45:29circular with a circular droid you can
0:45:32still do the same kind of expressive
0:45:33movement and maybe even more so that
0:45:36then we were able to do with the r2 and
0:45:39with c-3po and all the other models and
0:45:42I'm there you know there are a couple
0:45:43shots here and there which I guess we'll
0:45:45talk to we get there but it really it
0:45:47really feels like they've managed to
0:45:49give bb-8 a personality of his own
0:45:51without having to make him in our to
0:45:53stand in and without having you know
0:45:57while he's not replacing the droids we
0:46:01know and love he's his own his own
0:46:02creature and I think I think
0:46:06he's going to be a fan favorite pretty
0:46:08close pretty quickly he's already kind
0:46:10of which is way into my heart he's a
0:46:12scrapper your droid for a time when
0:46:14there is less you know there's less
0:46:16organization it seems like even you know
0:46:17you have all the rebels were scrappy in
0:46:19the Empire was very organized but still
0:46:21the rebels had some you know they had a
0:46:22thing going whereas this we keep seeing
0:46:24these individual characters running away
0:46:27from explosions and dry like they don't
0:46:28look organized and they would have
0:46:30destroyed because like this is the
0:46:31little person with dried he goes around
0:46:32with them and it's a much more sort of
0:46:34ragtag bunch of individuals and trying
0:46:36to make their way in the world then they
0:46:38don't look like they're part of any
0:46:40organized resistance or anything right
0:46:42goes to the same point about John boyega
0:46:44again once like not sort of being on top
0:46:46of my main question about bb-8 is what
0:46:50is his actual droid functionality like
0:46:52what was he built for he is obviously a
0:46:55giant like soccer referee or is the
0:46:58answer ya don't come don't get the
0:47:00referee so there's a quick cut from this
0:47:05era fade and then we cut to the RR
0:47:09villain again
0:47:10who's this friend is your name saying I
0:47:12ran this is your namesake el pelo red
0:47:15color and the bad guy
0:47:17yes it's the same guy with the with it
0:47:19with that mask and that and that and
0:47:21that a at a lightsaber didn't know
0:47:24anybody played kotor right fielder
0:47:27Publius yeah i don't i don't know i
0:47:30don't know how much of that we want to
0:47:32get it too if anything I don't know
0:47:34anything about that but i want to
0:47:35mention i just say that the mask is very
0:47:38interesting very yeah it looks a lot
0:47:41like a lot of the baby there have been a
0:47:42number of video games with sort of dark
0:47:44jedi sith would have you in them and
0:47:46they almost invariably seem to have some
0:47:49creepy going on the face region
0:47:50well I'm Darth Vader email or you had a
0:47:53mask right artists started that is a
0:47:54trend was trend the fashion statement
0:47:57what is it about six lords and having an
0:47:59inability to breathe properly wash
0:48:01allergies the dark side of the force
0:48:03makes you very susceptible to sunburn
0:48:05so you have to protect yourself with a
0:48:07dark cloak and a mask their their arm so
0:48:10here we've got people that look like
0:48:12prisoners or refugees or something being
0:48:14held at gunpoint by some stormtroopers
0:48:17in the background there are various fire
0:48:18is going
0:48:19on including more embers and we have cut
0:48:22kylo Ren our villain spin around with
0:48:24his lightsaber and reach out with a
0:48:26grasping hand right like it like it
0:48:29they were supposed to be attending to
0:48:30these prisoners / refugee / whatever and
0:48:33suddenly notices there's something
0:48:34coming from the direction that the
0:48:35camera is coming from and he turns
0:48:37around quickly and with his lightsaber
0:48:39up with his little force and poking out
0:48:41and and then this is it actually is the
0:48:44camera is the problem is it out and wait
0:48:46for being filmed for the office
0:48:48no autographs no autographs sorry I know
0:48:51it's not a baller or is it a droid I
0:48:53can't tell
0:48:54please do not pass myself he's a working
0:48:57set i love the new empire logo
0:49:01I don't obviously i don't know if it's
0:49:02the empire but the the logos been
0:49:04changed in some interesting ways that
0:49:06the higher design firm to try to freshen
0:49:08it
0:49:08yeah so the next in the next shot
0:49:10whatever is left of the Empire and and I
0:49:12think so this the next shot has a whole
0:49:15bunch of Stormtroopers I'd like a big
0:49:18podium above with a whole bunch of
0:49:20people on it including on dude
0:49:22sometimes your black right and this red
0:49:24and this read it and they're on a nice i
0:49:27see location are others no hard hard as
0:49:31I icy snowy location and and a there's a
0:49:34red banner with this black symbol on it
0:49:38that is almost to the symbol of of
0:49:42Greendale Community College from
0:49:44community but not quite varied the
0:49:47background right and admit button
0:49:48brothers a stripper to you can 15 is
0:49:52where things got a little skirt
0:49:53oh yeah there is a snowtrooper back
0:49:55there and that all the way in the back
0:49:56you're a good spot turbolasers on the
0:49:59side there from new hope you got the new
0:50:01storm trooper design which is
0:50:03interesting and it like that it is it
0:50:06almost start circling back to the
0:50:08prequel trooper design because it's
0:50:10smooth over it is less tubular and less
0:50:12lumpy and more sort of like it
0:50:16Abby you try to maps like the technology
0:50:19looking different for a purpose but this
0:50:20almost looks like they restyled it like
0:50:23when you restore a car for the new model
0:50:24year
0:50:25yeah new empire and reselling it yet to
0:50:28touch on colts old styles they do look
0:50:31kind of duck face
0:50:32but I kind of enjoy that spit smoothies
0:50:35in this spring empire but they actually
0:50:39it's a little weird because the rest of
0:50:41the the rest of the universe feels so as
0:50:44you were describing before like broken
0:50:45and lived in whereas i feel like with
0:50:49this is a structure for uniforms feel
0:50:53very very shiny
0:50:55yeah that's the aesthetic they're
0:50:56clearly going for with for the the evil
0:50:59guys later we see another black shiny I
0:51:00their guns are shining their outfits are
0:51:02shiny they are shiny
0:51:03I mean even even that they're the
0:51:05strangely colored typewriter is shinier
0:51:08than normal like are still waiting out
0:51:10there still in this big hunk of junk
0:51:12thing with all the Canterbury lasers and
0:51:13some snow but that they themselves are
0:51:16trying to look as prim and proper and
0:51:18Chinese possible and and a tip for the
0:51:21Empire really don't have any kind of
0:51:23meetings with the giant red banner
0:51:25behind you because it tells me that
0:51:26snazzy ish
0:51:27yeah well be hard to pull that off and
0:51:29still be good
0:51:30that's what they're going for I i like
0:51:32the implication here that this is the
0:51:35thread in the movie is that the Empire
0:51:36has got new stuff they're back this
0:51:38whatever this is new empire splinter
0:51:41group trying to come back
0:51:42are they are breaking out you might say
0:51:44but they they might be striking back and
0:51:46when a bit they've bought some new armor
0:51:48and they've got a new flag horses
0:51:51awakening
0:51:52yeah so that that a that's that but I I
0:51:55that is intriguing right because um that
0:51:58is one of the questions like I thought
0:51:59we beat the empire but nope nope there's
0:52:01stormtroopers and there's like they got
0:52:03a meeting and made that someone's gonna
0:52:04give a speech and that's not good right
0:52:08dr. prison honest yeah they got their
0:52:10new ships and everything yeah we'll see
0:52:12that in a second
0:52:13no good we dissolve two-shot of I guess
0:52:19that's is that Daisy Ridley again I
0:52:21believe it yet and she's looking up and
0:52:25that's really all that happens in that
0:52:26shot is that she looks up nice lighting
0:52:29is very pretty that's what happens that
0:52:30shot
0:52:31yeah she's not she's not a drinking milk
0:52:34and she's also sweaty and dirty
0:52:36yeah yep and she looks up perhaps to see
0:52:40two Tie Fighters scooping downward
0:52:44different seen through the through the
0:52:46clouds totally different see this
0:52:47trailer logic right the trailer logic is
0:52:49she looks up and tie fighters come down
0:52:51even though it's totally not connected
0:52:53and one of them goes through a cloud
0:52:55because they're showing off for some
0:52:58yeah because TIE fighters because TIE
0:53:00fighters they could be embers from a
0:53:02bonfire we don't know they have the tie
0:53:04fighters looks crappy or two like I
0:53:06don't know if it's the same model
0:53:07performance they look thinner and
0:53:08spindly are in the same way the new
0:53:10x-wings look a little bit like that the
0:53:12wind the wings are thinned out and of
0:53:13course the reverse color it makes and it
0:53:15gives these sort of same ships x-wing
0:53:18fighters a very different look even
0:53:19though they may vary only in small ways
0:53:21then then things get really interesting
0:53:25so the next scene is as a longer seen
0:53:28and it and it's on a on a spaceship
0:53:31perhaps a Star Destroyer there is a open
0:53:34to space with a magnetic barrier behind
0:53:36at the far end of this Bay there are a
0:53:39whole bunch of TIE fighters lined up and
0:53:41then there are stormtroopers that are
0:53:43shooting at a thai fighter that is
0:53:44taking off
0:53:45perhaps whoever is taking this tie
0:53:48fighter is doing so in an unauthorized
0:53:49fashion and it's firing back at these at
0:53:53the other Thai fighters in the
0:53:54stormtroopers that at least one
0:53:55stormtrooper goes flying like an
0:53:57upside-down
0:53:59yep they're making their escape in this
0:54:02tie fighter it's what it looks like they
0:54:03got their commandeer to tie fighter and
0:54:05in the fighter Bay and they're shooting
0:54:07their way out
0:54:08yeah there's another you can just see
0:54:09the back of another ship with
0:54:11like-for-like diagonal engines which i
0:54:13think will see in a subsequent shot up
0:54:15the Scout shuttlecraft or whatever yeah
0:54:17bad news for that guy I don't think he's
0:54:19I think he's gonna need some serious
0:54:21physical therapy trooper we cut to
0:54:24another storm trooper oh but what's
0:54:27what's this that storm trooper takes off
0:54:28his helmet and it is John boyega he's
0:54:31really sweaty and upset and she's so so
0:54:36again like trailer logic were meant to
0:54:37believe that somehow connected to the
0:54:39previous scene right where is it may or
0:54:41may not be i will note that when you
0:54:43slow down and same thing off his helmet
0:54:45there's like a bloody handprint on it
0:54:47yeah bloody or muddy or whatever the
0:54:50point is his outfit is not shiny it's a
0:54:52mess it's like he's been down the
0:54:53garbage chute or something o.o outfit is
0:54:56a man
0:54:57he takes off the helmet he's a mess
0:54:58underneath the helmet that's why you
0:55:00don't wear white guys it shows all the
0:55:01dirt yep
0:55:02yeah clearly the design for a more
0:55:05orderly universe and again like the two
0:55:07times we've seen him and his
0:55:08stormtrooper outfit he has taken off his
0:55:10helmet and been exasperated blow that
0:55:12helmet so the question is is he a
0:55:14stormtrooper is he pretending to be a
0:55:16stormtrooper is he in a somewhat
0:55:18unwilling stormtrooper on a little short
0:55:21for a stormtrooper stormtroopers that
0:55:23had a change of heart a planted spy like
0:55:25we don't know he seems to be not very
0:55:27good at it because he's always very
0:55:28startled and and cannot keeping his
0:55:31outfit clean and just all strapped up
0:55:33like most stormtroopers me know where
0:55:35they're not getting very calm under
0:55:38pressure guys when they don't shoot well
0:55:40I really like the way that the TIE
0:55:43fighter kind of hovers off-kilter on
0:55:45that deck infect the whole shot again is
0:55:46kinda off kilter the deck is slanted you
0:55:49know we gotta watch out for the cameras
0:55:51tilted as it tracks along the edge Abram
0:55:53style
0:55:54yep yep the Dutch angle makes everything
0:55:57a little bit more confusing at first and
0:56:01it's skewed so boyega upset and then the
0:56:06next shot we have a we have a fade and a
0:56:08quick cut to outside outer space there
0:56:11is that ship that we saw in the bay
0:56:12moving toward a Star Destroyer along
0:56:16with three other models so it's four
0:56:18models of our four ships of the same
0:56:20model along with one of those bird one
0:56:23of those by watching the taller to pray
0:56:25upside down one of those big wingy
0:56:28things is going toward it and the stars
0:56:30very they're going towards is not a new
0:56:32hope model star destroyer but that's the
0:56:34one it's not cs2 at the bottom look bit
0:56:37of it sticks out more than the top and
0:56:39bridges set back a little bit
0:56:41you can't tell like this bigger mound
0:56:43before the bridge so it's like this is
0:56:45difficult to place in the timeline is
0:56:46this like just a leftover star destroyer
0:56:49from the the Jedi or is this like the
0:56:53new model but it's not quite as fancy as
0:56:55the old ones were it's hard to say the
0:56:57the little shop craft look a lot like
0:56:59prequel ships in the little stubby
0:57:01dorsal fin wing and the
0:57:03engines on an angle and the batwing
0:57:05thing looks like nothing we've seen
0:57:07before
0:57:07yeah it's a weird the car looks like a
0:57:09shuttle without the third without the
0:57:11third thing yeah but looks it but it
0:57:13looks to me like is how they like to
0:57:15give in the prequels the Sith their own
0:57:18story and your ships reads like a city
0:57:20signature ships perhaps our villains
0:57:23ya know it totally ran trend that yeah I
0:57:27had the exact same thought you did which
0:57:28it looks like one of the like one of the
0:57:29shuttles that got it stop
0:57:31little wing taken off but it's got
0:57:34everything taken off it's flat and the
0:57:36but it's got two little engines and it's
0:57:37flat it's like it's it is but I don't
0:57:40want you can see the front of it so hard
0:57:41to tell but anyway the texture on the
0:57:42fact that it's all dark and craggy
0:57:44looking at it makes me think it's a bad
0:57:46guy
0:57:47custom bad guy ship which everybody
0:57:48every decent guy has that it's like
0:57:50Darth Vader started off with a little
0:57:51curvy little curvy TIE fighter like I
0:57:54want one of those gotta have your
0:57:56bespoke evil ship
0:57:57well well then so we dissolve to a
0:58:00chroma speaking foreign trooper well
0:58:03he's black and chrome we gotta keep
0:58:06though you don't let just anybody wear a
0:58:07cape right you might get caught it
0:58:08painted red and black cape yeah that is
0:58:11not regulation people it's got a rifle
0:58:13yeah anyway and he's standing in front
0:58:15of our little capsule-shaped lights from
0:58:17New Hope sort of Death Star kind of
0:58:19lights but then also the rocks to the
0:58:21left
0:58:22yeah which is weird and some lights that
0:58:24look very nineteen seventies on the
0:58:25right there to data this stormtrooper is
0:58:29significantly taller
0:58:31yes Matt you know shiny black i'm going
0:58:35to go out on a limb and say that this is
0:58:37one of christie's character could be
0:58:39because come on that would be awesome
0:58:42because she's very she would have a
0:58:45fashionable cape like that you think it
0:58:47could be yeah actually I really like I
0:58:51adore gwendoline christie and i have no
0:58:54idea who she's playing in this movie
0:58:55other than that she's cashed in this
0:58:57movie up but I'm kind of hoping that
0:59:00she's playing that guy or like a
0:59:03lieutenant because she plays you know
0:59:05she plays conflicted good person so well
0:59:08i'm getting from that I feel like she
0:59:11really could sink your teeth it did
0:59:13scary scary bad bad lieutenant also with
0:59:18you know what we're lacking a barrage a
0:59:20type character thanks to the EU being
0:59:23destroyed i kinda want it i would love
0:59:25to see what in evil you know
0:59:28not here not even may be evil but like
0:59:30what somebody who's working for the

1:01:23is the which actor I don't know actors
1:01:25names which actor on I'm getting brianna
1:01:27brianna is tall because i was gonna I
1:01:31was looking at the shape of like this is
1:01:32like a woman my main impression seeing
1:01:34this for the seven frames this person
1:01:36walks towards us
1:01:37this person is walking with swagger like
1:01:39this person is is a confident it
1:01:42confident in their abilities kind of bad
1:01:45guy mean yes there's the Cape
1:01:46yes the shininess by the way this person
1:01:48walks is with attitude and with purpose
1:01:51well what are the opposite of how John
1:01:52bio work sorry I want car so what we'll
1:01:55do the rationale behind having a shiny
1:01:57stormtrooper uniform is this like
1:01:58special forces elite stormtrooper yeah
1:02:01it's like what you got to be again to
1:02:03get the cape and the shiny outfit feel
1:02:05like you need to be pretty badass
1:02:06no nothing says badass like a cape town
1:02:10is the shininess and the smoothness is
1:02:12the stylist that
1:02:13but like this is still functional the
1:02:14only thing that's not quite functional
1:02:16that looks more ceremonial is the Cape
1:02:17part of it but everything else like
1:02:19having the color coordinated weapons
1:02:20with matches your belt matches your
1:02:22shoulder pads it is it's like a dress
1:02:25because it's like a dress uniform
1:02:27somebody pointed out that this isn't
1:02:28chrome its space grey space black horse
1:02:31got it does it does look like shiny
1:02:33black their own bits but then the light
1:02:35I think the main helmet it's more like
1:02:37the mac pro which jason yeah that's true
1:02:40back problems darker place star gray i
1:02:44dissolve to bb-8 leaves bb-8 leaning out
1:02:50into a corridor to peak recognized for a
1:02:54taurus yes this quarter look familiar
1:02:57huh
1:03:00delightful debi the Millennium Falcon I
1:03:03mean a lot of ships a lot of you know
1:03:04relationships that didn't have the
1:03:07similar interiors but yeah it's looking
1:03:09pretty Falcon ish that's all we always
1:03:12say fade away as its peak of what it
1:03:14what is BBB HC we don't know it's fading
1:03:17out before we can tell you a lot of
1:03:19beautiful little poke around the corner
1:03:20I i do love that yeah that that's a
1:03:22really nice
1:03:23there's a personality that's good
1:03:25personality work there as an easier move
1:03:27for him to do that are too because our
1:03:28to whenever they had that PQ has a tilt
1:03:30entire cylinder ya body and try not to
1:03:32think about what is it was doing they
1:03:34talk very specifically about how how
1:03:36they considered the the two people I
1:03:39think who controlled bb-8 remotely I
1:03:42mean they they talked about them
1:03:43performing him very much like a
1:03:45puppeteer would perform something so
1:03:47right now i think that i think that was
1:03:48the consideration here is that there is
1:03:50you know this is a performance by a
1:03:52couple of people of getting this droid
1:03:54body to do what it does so absolutely
1:03:57it's a cute shot i like it a lot lot of
1:03:59personality in those eight frames fade
1:04:02in on we got Daisy Ridley again with her
1:04:06tattoo in this outfit she's looking
1:04:09off-screen at perhaps John boyega who is
1:04:14super sweaty and there's like around
1:04:17covered with dirt covered with dirt and
1:04:19sweat and there's sort of smoky stuff
1:04:21happening in the background and she
1:04:23offers him her
1:04:24and come with me if you want to live
1:04:26yeah that's right and he looks at it
1:04:27like um and then he looks at her and
1:04:29says okay and and reaches up and grabs
1:04:33her arm and she helps pull them up here
1:04:36goes nothing
1:04:36yeah that's I i get the sense that this
1:04:38is a a momentous moment right it's a big
1:04:41moment in the story that this is
1:04:43starting to help him
1:04:45yeah that's right it's like a these two
1:04:47characters are gonna are gonna hang
1:04:50together feet and help each other out
1:04:52that's right again again John boyega
1:04:55looking kind of a at lost super unkempt
1:04:58and unhappy ya mouth open today once
1:05:03again this guy yeah is it is you get the
1:05:06sense that john-boy is going well in
1:05:07that in the first trailer where we saw
1:05:08him pop up in the desert right I this is
1:05:13I suspect this is all part of the same
1:05:15extremely bad day that he has Charlie
1:05:18goes very bad day started a bad start
1:05:22the day with a clean stormtrooper
1:05:24uniform nice and shiny and white and be
1:05:26wind up like in the sand somewhere all
1:05:29sweaty and it looks like it's been
1:05:30destroyed by bombs like the buildings
1:05:32are all mess behind him that happen
1:05:34looks like a battle taking place back to
1:05:36my original theory where John by a guy
1:05:38is Threepio this astrology is the tin
1:05:43dog
1:05:43no i don't think so i don't think so i
1:05:46think he's I think he's a key i think
1:05:47the dynamic is going to be amusingly
1:05:49different here where we where we get the
1:05:50two of these characters are teaming up
1:05:53but we'll see
1:05:54oh I think he's gonna be a major
1:05:56character I just mean in terms of its
1:05:58side in terms of his but like look on
1:06:01life he's gonna complete complaining it
1:06:03will be the one who tells you the odds
1:06:05exactly john-boy will tell us the odds
1:06:09and in whatever his do we know what his
1:06:12character name is we do don't we
1:06:13we do same thin okay uh next shot okay
1:06:19here we go next shot desert landscape I
1:06:23believe perhaps this is the chase
1:06:25between the Millennium Falcon and the
1:06:27TIE fighters that we saw another part of
1:06:30in a trailer
1:06:31unless there's more than one unless
1:06:33there's more than one the Millennium
1:06:34Falcon is being chased by a TIE fighter
1:06:36the TIE fighter is shooting at
1:06:38it it is making a turn over the sand so
1:06:40close in fact that it appears to push
1:06:42through the sand and not and fly past
1:06:47the camera because why not send you can
1:06:49just push sand out of the way sandy
1:06:51sandy and built up there
1:06:53yeah they're going fast they blow blow
1:06:55through that sand fly past the camera
1:06:58and cut to a into an engine into the
1:07:02engine of a crash Star Destroyer on this
1:07:05world that can't tell if that's a Star
1:07:07Destroyer at least I can't tell if it's
1:07:09the first of all it doesn't look like
1:07:10it's the same one we saw before because
1:07:11it still takes angle wrong angle and
1:07:13maybe so the bridge there's no bridge
1:07:15but it does appear to be a cruiser of
1:07:16something larger than partnership and it
1:07:18has three large engines as the one to
1:07:21the left of it apparently could be a
1:07:23superstar two-story actually honestly
1:07:25yeah yeah I thought it was a super star
1:07:28destroyer that in the original shot
1:07:29actually
1:07:30and then we get a really good another JJ
1:07:33Abrams like pull in really fast on the
1:07:37action which is a very very JM shot and
1:07:40help handheld camera battlestar
1:07:41galactica type movie exactly it's the
1:07:43reply
1:07:44Kathy maybe handheld camera the camera
1:07:46man realizes he needs to get closer so
1:07:49he flips the zoom and we shoot in to see
1:07:52the the Millennium Falcon sort of
1:07:56disappearing into the darkness of the
1:07:58tube of the of the wrecked engine with
1:08:01the TIE fighter right behind it and then
1:08:03quick putt to tie fighter pilot with red
1:08:07stripes could just be the same scary
1:08:10chrome black stormtrooper we saw earlier
1:08:12maybe pretty different mask looks
1:08:14different masses will absolutely but
1:08:15maybe this is the pilot helmet but
1:08:17anyway it's black black and shiny with
1:08:19chrome bits it looks a lot like the old
1:08:21typewriter masks but just again once
1:08:23again as with the stormtroopers like
1:08:25it's got like a it's a novel take on it
1:08:27and the red thing on that they will get
1:08:29your random yeah on one houses the only
1:08:32one they don't want to lose our toes
1:08:35exhaust port or something so it's it's
1:08:37flying and then wewe cut back outside
1:08:39and we've got the Millennium Falcon
1:08:41fleeing the shots of the TIE fighter
1:08:44goes over a little bit of structure of
1:08:49the inside the
1:08:51the Star Destroyer and their the TIE
1:08:54fighter shot explodes it we fly into the
1:08:56explosion oh god no very very return of
1:08:59the jedi like and that's putting going
1:09:01to into the death star base to the
1:09:02superstructure yeah so maybe they knock
1:09:06off the radar again
1:09:07yeah and and then that's it that's the
1:09:10end of the trailer there's nothing else
1:09:12yeah that's definitely not a final state
1:09:14and then cut to black and any thoughts
1:09:15about this anymore thoughts about this
1:09:17whole sequence of the TIE fighter in the
1:09:19Millennium Falcon it's really exciting
1:09:21and I laughed at the callback even if
1:09:22it's not the same star destroy the idea
1:09:24that hey there's a Star Destroyer what
1:09:26what if we flew into a crash Star
1:09:28Destroyer maybe they'd be crazy to
1:09:30follow us the best thing about the
1:09:33Millennium Falcon is if any ship was
1:09:35going to decide that the main way that
1:09:37it would get himself out of jams is to
1:09:38fly through tight spaces don't take the
1:09:40ones shaped like a gigantic pizza with
1:09:42stuff sticking out like it is not well
1:09:44that's not what it looks like and it's
1:09:47aired in it its wide but it's flat
1:09:50I'm I don't like it what it would do is
1:09:52it with lower your tie fighters into
1:09:54these tiny spaces and the typewriter is
1:09:56smaller in every dimension in the ship
1:09:58and then just do sheer piloting skill
1:10:00and the luck of finding crevices that
1:10:02are very long and skinny it would just
1:10:04go through like a line peace and Tetris
1:10:06and just everything will blow up behind
1:10:07it was shooting at the end like that
1:10:10beautiful thing about how utterly
1:10:12beautiful those those air fights are
1:10:15John why that's why it's exciting
1:10:17because it is so improbable to see this
1:10:19ship go make these moves
1:10:21John what you missed what you have
1:10:24missed is the hours they have spent
1:10:26painstakingly setting up courses that
1:10:27are specifically designed to facilitate
1:10:29the mountain locking crowds boy
1:10:31so anyway it goes to black not much else
1:10:33happens after that
1:10:35wait a second we we hear a voice that
1:10:39seems familiar say Chewie we're home as
1:10:43we fade up on Ibaka and hand solo I
1:10:48here's I think we've seen these people
1:10:51before in this exact shot if nothing
1:10:54else that and so on seems very gravely
1:10:57like Harrison Ford himself the actor is
1:10:59very gravely yelled age more so than
1:11:01mark
1:11:01maleny sounds very graphically here and
1:11:04the reason they do it in black and hear
1:11:05his voice you like well that's
1:11:07recognizably Harrison Ford's voice right
1:11:09and he's saying chewy is recognizably
1:11:11Han Solo's voice yeah but they don't
1:11:13they haven't shown you them yet that's
1:11:15still black and when they fade in on it
1:11:17chewy and this is a question from
1:11:19Twitter yes more or less looks the same
1:11:21and dancing was asking how old they look
1:11:24at how long the bookies live wikipedia
1:11:26says they live for severe they live for
1:11:27hundreds of years and and therefore
1:11:29they're not like guinea pigs or
1:11:31something they live they live much
1:11:32longer than people because i had that
1:11:34first thought is why is chewy not grey
1:11:36and somebody said well he's not human
1:11:37you know maybe they will keep your turn
1:11:40gray it's possible my dog turned white
1:11:41but my cat lived for 20 years and never
1:11:43turned white
1:11:45then again right if they're very
1:11:47long-lived and then somebody else
1:11:48suggested he may use just for wookies
1:11:50yeah and but it's he has a very thick
1:11:53glossy coat he looks like himself
1:11:55maybe he's been taking care of himself
1:11:57and Harrison Ford is not well I'm saying
1:11:59is that lumpy didn't look like he was
1:12:00taking care of himself down but someone
1:12:02must be very hundreds and hundreds of
1:12:04years old I i want to say a couple
1:12:06things one which is I'm glad that
1:12:08Harrison Ford is not you know not being
1:12:10a absurdly made up to look you know
1:12:12they're embracing his age which i think
1:12:14is smart I think that's the only way the
1:12:16only way to go here
1:12:18he's good evening just for men advisory
1:12:20councils he looks good for his age but
1:12:22there's no question that is that you
1:12:23know older he's probably like this is
1:12:26scruffy-looking nerf herder
1:12:27right exactly he's still true to that
1:12:28character i think which is fantastic
1:12:30I mean still wonderful yeah and I like
1:12:33that this shot deliberately echoes the
1:12:36sort of classic shot of Han and Chewie
1:12:39standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the
1:12:41guns out I didn't recognize realize
1:12:42until I think one of the again watchin
1:12:45on the iPad that he had sold was
1:12:47pointing his gun at the camera
1:12:49yeah it's what kind of page in because
1:12:51you wearing a dark jacket there but they
1:12:52both got the guns up at the ready
1:12:54there's probably release
1:12:55yep yeah they're clearly standing the
1:12:57most fat book everybody looks like it
1:12:58might have gotten some modifications
1:13:00that we just got some new greebles but I
1:13:02yeah but clearly standing on one the
1:13:04Millennium Falcon to ya and so Hans
1:13:07outfit is not the same out for the
1:13:09reunion but when you first see it it is
1:13:11it is black on white and it echoes the
1:13:15old outfit
1:13:15but it is a different outfit that is
1:13:17dirty and has rumbled and he hasn't the
1:13:18laundry in a while and it makes services
1:13:20you know the same hairstylist had but
1:13:22it's kind of you know shoveled it makes
1:13:25sense that he's had he's bought new
1:13:26clothes at some point in the last 30
1:13:28years so Lana took all the other ones
1:13:31yeah it was i justyou know Harrison
1:13:35Ford's been a lot of stuff and yet in
1:13:37this just moment you like it's hot solo
1:13:39yeah like it's something about it and
1:13:43like I was so we knew in the first round
1:13:44we said okay they didn't show any of the
1:13:46old actors obviously they're saving them
1:13:47for later and this one they saved it
1:13:48they didn't show anybody except for
1:13:50hunting sure they saved for the end and
1:13:52you know so what we knew they were in
1:13:55this movie it's not a surprise he looks
1:13:57like Han Solo what's the big deal and it
1:13:59caught me by surprise happen to be the
1:14:02emotional impact of this final scene
1:14:04because nothing happens and the line he
1:14:06says is corny and they're in the
1:14:08millennium falcon which we are it looks
1:14:09like they're in the main factor which
1:14:10you already knew it wasn't because they
1:14:11keep showing it
1:14:12so what's the end she looks the same so
1:14:14what's the big deal and I've been
1:14:16thinking about like i watch trailer
1:14:17several times like I said I first time I
1:14:18watch it work
1:14:19I was like tearing up by the end of it
1:14:21had music half of that is the meeting
1:14:23should be like what music which we
1:14:25haven't talked about that right but like
1:14:27they go through several of the more
1:14:29emotional themes those movies but when
1:14:30they brought this the scene in here it's
1:14:32like it
1:14:33yeah I don't know it's like it's it's
1:14:35like morning your use while also
1:14:37revisiting it was saying like this
1:14:39person in these people he met were so
1:14:40important to you
1:14:42they're still alive they still exist in
1:14:44this fictional universe and here they
1:14:45are you look at them and you're looking
1:14:48yourself like I'm not the same person I
1:14:50was but that's still Han Solo right but
1:14:53he's older
1:14:54the Germans have a word for all of that
1:14:55just one word for all of that everything
1:14:57is better i'm sure they do but like but
1:14:59that's that's what it's like it's it's
1:15:01it's not going to have the same impact
1:15:03than anybody who didn't grow up with
1:15:04these characters because you're seeing
1:15:07them that was like 30 years later and
1:15:09it's 30 years later for you to I don't
1:15:11know I'm getting the number of years
1:15:12right but it's just it's old han solo
1:15:15but you when you look at him it's kind
1:15:16of like an old married couple when they
1:15:17look at each other so they see each
1:15:18other as they were on their wedding day
1:15:19I see Han Solo as he always was and that
1:15:23for a second i see Han Solo is he
1:15:24actually is and then
1:15:25he was then as he is and the voice and
1:15:28am just saying the word Chewie Chewie
1:15:29growling it's surprising emotional
1:15:33impact which probably makes no sense to
1:15:35anybody because it's not but not on the
1:15:37page is not in the film it is entirely
1:15:39historical context but these these are
1:15:41these are pivotal characters that were a
1:15:45huge part of some many of our childhood
1:15:47and we haven't seen them if you if you
1:15:51were old enough to watch the movies when
1:15:53they came out we haven't seen them for
1:15:5532 years we haven't seen anything from
1:15:59han Solo and Chewbacca well yeah okay
1:16:02because anything from Chewbacca right
1:16:03we're all agreed on that
1:16:04nope well I don't consider prequels even
1:16:08if we consider the prequels to have
1:16:09existed but he's nothing to you
1:16:11he looks the same it doesn't have the
1:16:13impact and because he doesn't have a
1:16:15human emotive face like he's got a
1:16:17motive body gestures but that is a
1:16:19facial prosthetic you haven't actually
1:16:20his his his dialogue is actually the
1:16:23thing that really got me is when he says
1:16:25the hot it doesn't end on hon saying
1:16:27we're home and ends on Chewie going
1:16:28yeah well it's really it's too easy
1:16:32relationship with on always made to eat
1:16:35interesting right situation with a bunch
1:16:37of rookies and he's just a Wookiee
1:16:38you've got to eat with the characters
1:16:41and he's you know if the same reason why
1:16:44are two working off the characters makes
1:16:46our to a better up a better droid more
1:16:49interesting on screen is that these if
1:16:52these people working together and the
1:16:53longstanding friendship that you got to
1:16:55see resonating off-screen took the words
1:16:58right I'm gonna yeah and these two
1:17:00together because chewy looks the same
1:17:02but Han doesn't like that's that's going
1:17:05to be a big part of how they play in
1:17:06this movie because it's like hey it's
1:17:08the Millennium Falcon looking more or
1:17:09less like it always did hate jewy-lookin
1:17:11more or less like it always did but Han
1:17:12is not looking more or less likely
1:17:13always it but he's back in those places
1:17:14with those people and everything is a
1:17:16little bit more rundown but you kind of
1:17:18look the same but the Falcon is the same
1:17:20and like I don't know that fuckin in
1:17:22that last shot looks pretty beat up
1:17:23interior always did always looking only
1:17:25have been even more so even more so
1:17:27well the india the interior looks like a
1:17:29nice and easy could use a good scrubbing
1:17:31like that's kind of messed up like it
1:17:33i am looking forward to the scene where
1:17:34they pull the sheet off the money in
1:17:36pocket
1:17:37yeah that's a big sure yeah so for all
1:17:39the but like for all the emotional
1:17:41impact of the scene and like it i don't
1:17:44know if any part of this movie will have
1:17:45the impact that just seeing this one
1:17:47scene did because it was just such a
1:17:48shock to my system to see those
1:17:49characters and just like I don't know I
1:17:52don't know how to articulate why it is
1:17:54that like like i said i watch it at work
1:17:56and I was tearing up right
1:17:57I watched like five more times the same
1:17:58thing happens like magic isn't that
1:18:00doesn't make any sense it's like you
1:18:02know it's coming
1:18:03what's the big deal and it's like your
1:18:05body's like nope this is happening just
1:18:06deal with it
1:18:07him and so the the danger if that is
1:18:10that like okay you know you can do that
1:18:12in a trailer trailers are relatively
1:18:14easy they're short or whatever it's some
1:18:16point you have to make a movie and the
1:18:18danger is that in the movie they give on
1:18:23stupid things to say he does stupid
1:18:26things he does things that we think are
1:18:27not in keeping with his character that
1:18:29the actor isn't up to the role anymore
1:18:31so many things can go wrong with older
1:18:33actors reprising the role after this
1:18:35many years under new leadership like I'm
1:18:37fearful like how how terrible but I fear
1:18:40it would i feel if i kind of like how we
1:18:43talk about how we felt about episode 3
1:18:45did terrible things to the character we
1:18:47thought of as darth vader and he's not
1:18:48even like our favor but he's the villain
1:18:49rooting against him
1:18:51terrible things can happen to our
1:18:52beloved characters in these movies and
1:18:54that danger is there John
1:18:57it can't be worse than crystal skull
1:18:59that's true but like somehow at that
1:19:01bothered me less mostly because Temple
1:19:04of Doom is kind of iffy to and like I
1:19:07don't I care about so much more about
1:19:08these like I feel like I had three solid
1:19:10movies where they did not set foot
1:19:12particularly wrong with their core
1:19:14characters and these actors are older
1:19:16and like we were giving a lot like it
1:19:18basically what now realizing is that
1:19:19these people are holding our little you
1:19:22know emotional babies like they have
1:19:23they have our babies right
1:19:25they have all these characters that we
1:19:26love in a way that the prequels did not
1:19:29you know what I mean and it's like like
1:19:32just like don't mess this up please
1:19:35especially there's a lot of things I've
1:19:36seen Harrison Ford and recently
1:19:38not that I'm saying like he has a point
1:19:41for this who said this gene hackman
1:19:44maybe he was saying that when you reach
1:19:45a certain a
1:19:46age you you know it's only asking like
1:19:50how do you how do you act with such
1:19:53gravitas how do you become such a good
1:19:55actor and says you read reach a certain
1:19:57age that you just end up having a
1:19:59certain kind of poise that the rest of
1:20:01the world reads as confidence and good
1:20:03acting but really what it is is just
1:20:04like learning to settle down right and
1:20:07Harrison Ford has that as well to the
1:20:10degree that sometimes in his later
1:20:11movies you kind of felt like he was not
1:20:15into it
1:20:15collecting a paycheck phoning it in not
1:20:18terribly but just kind of like that he
1:20:20had settled he had that poise so much
1:20:22that he poisoned himself right into a
1:20:24nap while and he always seemed flaky you
1:20:27know it's tough because you also have to
1:20:29take a look like his public persona sort
1:20:31of with a grain of salt which is that he
1:20:32never really enjoys talking about Star
1:20:34Wars and he doesn't enjoy doing
1:20:36publicity in general and he seems to
1:20:38have gotten very cranky and so like it
1:20:40you know being exposed to that it's
1:20:42sometimes hard to be like okay is he
1:20:43actually having a good time here or is
1:20:45this just like you know an attempt at
1:20:47acting
1:20:48well I can hear those Expendables movies
1:20:50and stuff like that which I've never
1:20:51seen and I'm assuming you're terrible
1:20:53and it's like he's not doing that for
1:20:55the love of the movies doing it for a
1:20:56quick paycheck is an easy job right and
1:20:58like you want to believe that this is
1:21:00different that he's not going to be that
1:21:02actor in this movie
1:21:03well I have things that give me high
1:21:05help and one of those was despite how
1:21:09terrible in ender's game was a movie I
1:21:11actually thought that his performance in
1:21:13there was was amazing i agree with that
1:21:16that is a highlight recently it's a good
1:21:18performance I like that I like that
1:21:19movie actually quite a bit but it's it
1:21:22he's good in it and i noticed him being
1:21:24good in it
1:21:25yes at the very least he sure as hell
1:21:26not phoning it in no the other thing is
1:21:29that he's smiling in this trailer
1:21:32yeah and I don't think I like you think
1:21:35about parrots you think about Han Solo
1:21:37smiling and you think about the schedule
1:21:40right you think about the like it's the
1:21:42slight twinkle in the eye and he has a
1:21:44little twinkle in design
1:21:46he's got it he's got it yep there that's
1:21:49a lens where ya if you if you
1:21:52there's also a blink and you miss it
1:21:53like he nods kind of at the camera just
1:21:56before it fades to black which is also
1:21:58kind of like this like this store
1:22:00about self-assurance there the cockiness
1:22:02so as a little bit in the Indiana Jones
1:22:04not do and I had as a kid indiana jones
1:22:06and Han Solo blended in my mind such a
1:22:08degree that they might as well have been
1:22:09the same character just in different
1:22:11timelines like Harrison Ford Harrison
1:22:13Ford was essentially get a character of
1:22:14my childhood playing those two roles
1:22:16which had a hell of a lot of similarity
1:22:18one like you know more mature and
1:22:21sophisticated that would be India
1:22:22because he did things that were kind of
1:22:23more adult than han solo but still a
1:22:25continuum of of scoundrels getting
1:22:28themselves out of scrapes you know so i
1:22:30think i think you're Harrison forward to
1:22:32at this age and and that this is the
1:22:36difference between him when he was doing
1:22:37the first set of Indiana Jones movies
1:22:38and Star Wars trilogy then he's like
1:22:43look I'm a working actor I've got a long
1:22:45career ahead of me I don't want to get
1:22:46asked about Han Solo in Indiana Jones
1:22:48all the time i got other movies have you
1:22:49seen the fugitive have you seen here for
1:22:52school having that
1:22:53yeah whenever Jack write a few of the
1:22:54jack ryan movies yeah exactly so now now
1:22:57look you're Harrison Ford and you're
1:23:00getting toward the end of your career
1:23:01and you know that when you die
1:23:05people are going to say han Solo in
1:23:07indiana jones i am Spock movie huh yeah
1:23:09so I feel I feel like he reached a point
1:23:12with the Indiana Jones movies and Star
1:23:14Wars was like sure you know like I like
1:23:16embraced embraced being in them now
1:23:18because he knows he's not he's never
1:23:20gonna run npm that people love him he's
1:23:23never gonna run away from it and people
1:23:24loved him for having those parts so you
1:23:26might as well just kind of go with it
1:23:28and and so I I'm encouraged by that I do
1:23:30however here's my theory because it is
1:23:33you know
1:23:34Chewie we're home and they've got their
1:23:36guns out i assume the next shot is an
1:23:38over-the-shoulder shot reverse angle of
1:23:41Lando wearing like his underpants and
1:23:44newspaper be like oh geez i was gonna
1:23:46give it back to you still wearing his
1:23:47vest and the fact that I was hoping that
1:23:50the Chewie we're home is kind of like
1:23:51more like a honey we're home thing chewy
1:23:53likely looking at this is like them
1:23:57rediscovering the Falcon and you know
1:23:59coming onboard think that with their
1:24:02guns out so they thought maybe they'd
1:24:03have to take the ship or you know they
1:24:05didn't know who would be there but they
1:24:06come in their home i think that the
1:24:08hardening thing here is also you know we
1:24:10don't know what the status of SE han and
1:24:12leia's relationship
1:24:14over the last 30 years they could be
1:24:15together they could not be together
1:24:17you think if they were together as
1:24:18clothes would be a little bit
1:24:20nice-looking she would not want to be
1:24:21seen with that kind of a scoundrel I
1:24:23have some standards get yourself
1:24:24together i'm gonna princess
1:24:26despite that the reassurance that Han
1:24:28and Chewie are still together after 30
1:24:30years are gonna be really married couple
1:24:32right exactly so that I think that it's
1:24:34it's comforting jazz we were talking
1:24:36about earlier in terms of relating it to
1:24:38where we left these characters is
1:24:39comforting to know that certain things
1:24:41are constant yeah yeah let's kick them
1:24:43out but you know she was always with her
1:24:45like analysis to heresy didn't recliners
1:24:49smoking cigars yep me and with them
1:24:51saying their home it's like well that
1:24:52where have you been before out that
1:24:54you're not home that you know it's been
1:24:56a long stretch here and during the
1:24:58entire time you weren't home or you
1:25:00weren't on the falken I mean what have
1:25:01you been doing what you been up to what
1:25:04you're playing golf
1:25:05december that's the last that's the last
1:25:09thing December in 3d mug
1:25:12yeah i saw that 3d and imax and like boy
1:25:15just whatever I wonder if they shot in
1:25:173d or if it was like like star trek into
1:25:20darkness where they did a conversion
1:25:22after the fact i hope it's going to be
1:25:25found in 3d that it was shot in and not
1:25:28i don't know JJ Abrams I think likes to
1:25:30likes to shoot it
1:25:31I don't think he accidentally it's a
1:25:34much more complicated rig to do a 3d
1:25:36shoot versus just doing a a a UH 3d
1:25:39conversion of 3d at this point feels
1:25:41like something with studios make you do
1:25:42to you every movie especially tentpole
1:25:45movie but it's like whatever the effects
1:25:48will be really effective III all 3d
1:25:50because those can be rendered with two
1:25:51cameras but the actual live action
1:25:53shooting if it's just shot with a
1:25:54single-camera they will do their
1:25:56conversion thing which is kind of lame
1:25:58so you know chaverim says they shot it
1:26:00in imax obviously there are advertising
1:26:013d and imax so I max just that the is
1:26:05the film format and the aspect ratio or
1:26:07just one of the other choices they shot
1:26:08on 35's close to the stock is the
1:26:11original trilogy as possible which i
1:26:13think i cry
1:26:14yeah i'm not sure if they shot on my
1:26:16next time next time he might have shot
1:26:17some scenes on imax I doubt they shot
1:26:19the whole thing I mean they advertise on
1:26:21exit the end of the trailer so yeah but
1:26:22they're went to movies the first are not
1:26:24shot on imax that are shown on
1:26:26max right but sometimes you do the thing
1:26:28where it's like well we can start on a
1:26:29regular screen but if you want an imax
1:26:31for particular scenes we change the
1:26:33operating yeah films partially in imax
1:26:36unknown how much is what I see here so I
1:26:39don't know there is one end is what
1:26:40Christopher Nolan with the dark knight
1:26:42movies he shot some scenes in imax and
1:26:45then the rest we were in 35 millimeter
1:26:47seems possible you would want to shoot
1:26:49this entire movie in imax I feel like
1:26:50it's kind of a bear i was gonna say
1:26:52before we finish music we should discuss
1:26:53yes which is to say though we get some
1:26:56very familiar themes here in some places
1:26:58the opening sounds very much like some
1:27:00of the cloud city music from Empire i'm
1:27:02going to say that this is pretty as with
1:27:05the first trailer business probably
1:27:06brand-new John Williams music
1:27:07deliberately designed for it maybe the
1:27:10trailer or maybe it's cut from the film
1:27:11at large but i guess at this point it's
1:27:13probably still deliberately composed for
1:27:15the trailer but we get you know a lot
1:27:17more you know the recognizable the force
1:27:19team at the beginning there which is a
1:27:21really nice touch but say it you know
1:27:23fades off and it transitions into a
1:27:25different sort of music then we heard
1:27:26really anyplace else before so and I you
1:27:29know obviously harkening back to the
1:27:31original themes is awesome it's but it's
1:27:33super exciting to hear brand-new John
1:27:36Williams Star Wars music which i think
1:27:38we as we many of us agreed was the best
1:27:41part of the prequels and they do a good
1:27:42job in this trailer like they know they
1:27:45have a few certain emotional cues that
1:27:48we all know from the classic themes and
1:27:49him Jam a lot of them into one trailer
1:27:51with transitions between them that they
1:27:53go smooth with that middle section that
1:27:55has the the new music the sort of the
1:27:56new scary bad things are happening theme
1:27:59transitioning smoothly into the other
1:28:01things that we know it's really good I
1:28:04can't wait to hear more John Williams
1:28:05start with music and i will not read the
1:28:06track listings but I don't do that and
1:28:09and i know i know this is a common a
1:28:11common thing to do with teaser trailers
1:28:14in particular and now we seem two of
1:28:16these nothing on it and because we've
1:28:18gone through this is frame by frame it
1:28:20brings it to the for all the more a
1:28:22large percentage of both of these
1:28:24teasers are black screens
1:28:26yep right because they just do not want
1:28:28to show you anything and they want the
1:28:30trailer to betray length but it's like
1:28:32how few frames of actual movie can we
1:28:33get a trailer and still have betrayal
1:28:35they do have music to fill in the gaps
1:28:37or whatever it's like okay you get seven
1:28:39frames of a draw
1:28:39three frames of the other guy walking
1:28:41with the nice like well I don't know you
1:28:43know JJ Abrams I think I said he really
1:28:45wants to maintain as much secrecy as
1:28:47possible which he did it also during the
1:28:49panel today trying to like you know
1:28:50keeping a tight rein on what people
1:28:51could say the advantage of Star Wars is
1:28:54that you can rely on music I think
1:28:55there's a lot of a lot of trailers to
1:28:58movies that you have to rely on like pop
1:29:00music or something right because the
1:29:01scores don't often carry an entire
1:29:04trailer and we are very dialogue light
1:29:06we have besides Luke's voiceover we have
1:29:09only the hands 0 line so in and that's
1:29:12kind of once again very close to what we
1:29:14had in the first trailer so we've heard
1:29:16next to nothing of dialogue from this
1:29:18movie so far and that was a that was
1:29:20also a tool employed by the prequels
1:29:22where yes the trailers had very little
1:29:25dialogue because if we had heard any a
1:29:27question that we have seen what we were
1:29:28in for they have you know lots of
1:29:31reaction shots lots of landscapes lots
1:29:33of ships and stuff some lightsabers
1:29:36clashing one or two small lines that are
1:29:38so small as to be completely innocuous
1:29:40and was like boy this movie looks great
1:29:42and but this this is doing the same
1:29:44thing obviously we expect the results to
1:29:46be very different in this case but you
1:29:47know being at the theme is a that is
1:29:50using the same tools employed and and at
1:29:52the music in that the scary music middle
1:29:54part that transitions to the I don't
1:29:56know damn well know that the track for
1:29:58the the final bit that's like the pre
1:30:01credits music and some of the movies
1:30:02there is a middle theme there that I
1:30:06know it's you know it's Williams and not
1:30:08you know who put it the key no one's
1:30:12yeah you can imagine what it's got some
1:30:14notes in it where it's building up to
1:30:16that final theme that that is that is
1:30:18the first bits that I've heard that
1:30:20could stand out to me as the signature
1:30:22sort of little musical motif of this
1:30:25movie different from any of the older
1:30:29movies as well there's a little section
1:30:30in the middle there right be right
1:30:31before the BBA pokes his head out
1:30:34we're transitions into the the more
1:30:35familiar music that middle section like
1:30:37when they're they're making the escape
1:30:39and the we assume in the TIE fighter in
1:30:41the hangar bay that little music there I
1:30:43can see as being sort of a core theme
1:30:45for this movie we'll see what would
1:30:48that's my question about it like when
1:30:49they have a dramatic scene or something
1:30:51happening
1:30:51will they have there
1:30:53own equivalents of the themes that we
1:30:54know or will they go back to the themes
1:30:56that we know and lean on them for the
1:30:58dramatic moments I think we'll have a
1:30:59little of both if the prequels are any
1:31:01indication because the prequel did a
1:31:02good job but I'll hardly ever say that
1:31:05the people music did a good job of
1:31:07actually creating new things it and
1:31:09mashing them with the themes that we
1:31:11already knew but establishing motifs
1:31:13that carried over the course of three
1:31:15movies so I think I wouldn't you know I
1:31:18think we'll see a mix of it and I i
1:31:20think we'll probably see the main theme
1:31:22obviously is a big part of the force
1:31:23that was a big part of it but i wouldn't
1:31:24be surprised if vampires got a whole new
1:31:26team to go with their new branding and
1:31:30there's only they did have a whole logo
1:31:31redesign and out yeah exactly so you get
1:31:34Yuki music find a theme music while
1:31:36you're spending the money know it but
1:31:37you gotta go to the people it's like
1:31:38look we know it's gonna be hard to top
1:31:40the imperial march but we have a lot of
1:31:41money so do what you can
1:31:44yeah I'd like that's not a question
1:31:45about this movie is and another thing
1:31:47that didn't feel as Star Wars movies
1:31:48again watching the original movies you
1:31:50just realize how those movies are
1:31:52practically music videos just constantly
1:31:54music big music big music that is like
1:31:57you know that those things where you
1:31:58watch stars without the music and like
1:32:00it just seems like it it's like 18 of
1:32:03the movie that it was like that the
1:32:05music is so dominant in in a way that is
1:32:08not in modern movies and modern movies
1:32:09yeah there's tons of sections that have
1:32:11no music sometimes it's barely any music
1:32:13at all or if there is just like
1:32:14percussion or like it just the Star Wars
1:32:17movies just constantly music in anything
1:32:19with any kind of like the music is half
1:32:21of the movie and that is not the style
1:32:24of for example the JJ from Star Trek is
1:32:26that's not a star trek shot when you
1:32:27just star wars movie I think the thing
1:32:29that they have this great music we hear
1:32:31enough of it in the trailer they need to
1:32:33just lay that under just everything you
1:32:35know every everything that you would
1:32:36expect that music needs to be there and
1:32:38the music needs to be as big an actor in
1:32:41the movie as it was in the original
1:32:42trilogy because it get like watch you
1:32:45know the asteroid chasing an empire with
1:32:47no music you're like now it's just a
1:32:49bunch of potatoes on strings again
1:32:50no it is it is not the same scene so I'm
1:32:53looking forward to that i really hope
1:32:55that the music is really just under
1:32:57everything in this movie I wanted to be
1:32:59like a big glorious music video in space
1:33:02yay
1:33:03yeah well okay there you go everybody 90
1:33:07minutes talking about one minute and 42
1:33:10seconds of trailer for this last final
1:33:13podcast is going to be a long 1i I've
1:33:15said it before I'll say it again i think
1:33:17in december the incomparable is just
1:33:19going to start a telephone where we
1:33:20broadcast spots about Star Wars
1:33:22throughout their yeah for like two weeks
1:33:25straight without a break just endless
1:33:28aspects of Star Wars maybe we'll start a
1:33:31spin-off podcast for those two weeks
1:33:33where it's just all star wars all the
1:33:34time I don't know how we're going to
1:33:36deal with it i'm kinda just not even
1:33:38worried about it right now if you can
1:33:39get a screeners then we go through them
1:33:41frame by frame because we're going to
1:33:42dinner theater multiple times but they
1:33:44were just going to be going based on our
1:33:45memories would really be helpful if we
1:33:47go to the movie frame at a time
1:33:49yeah that we can do that we can do the
1:33:50star wars minute that's exactly although
1:33:53it this radar minutes into it would be
1:33:5590 minutes each
1:33:56oh yeah well that that's like how the
1:33:58flophouse does a bad movie and they're
1:33:59done in 40 minutes with all the whole
1:34:01bunch of extra stuff we do a bad movie
1:34:02and it's two hours long
1:34:03no because austere yeah we're exhausting
1:34:07being an exhaustive and everything else
