1
00:00:19,811 --> 00:00:21,811
Let me ask you a question,
where are you guys from?
2
00:00:21,855 --> 00:00:23,561
- San Diego.
- Yay.
3
00:00:23,649 --> 00:00:26,356
And what'd you do?
You drove here? Why'd you drive here?
4
00:00:26,443 --> 00:00:28,183
- We wanted to see this.
- See it.
5
00:00:28,278 --> 00:00:30,360
Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill
6
00:00:30,447 --> 00:00:32,733
and Carrie Fisher
and Billy Dee Williams are here.
7
00:00:32,824 --> 00:00:33,984
When you watch the movies,
8
00:00:34,076 --> 00:00:36,054
you can tell that they were made
by people who really cared
9
00:00:36,078 --> 00:00:37,284
about what they were doing.
10
00:00:37,371 --> 00:00:40,329
Seeing this part of it filmed,
and there's all of the props around,
11
00:00:40,415 --> 00:00:43,873
and there's people lying on the ground,
and it's all cruddy,
12
00:00:43,961 --> 00:00:47,124
but you know that they're going
to take it back and put in the opticals,
13
00:00:47,214 --> 00:00:48,441
and it's going to be totally different.
14
00:00:48,465 --> 00:00:49,776
- I mean, we're all...
- So there's a magic to that.
15
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,027
- We're all in Tatooine right now.
- Yeah.
16
00:00:51,051 --> 00:00:52,837
So it's terrific, you know.
17
00:00:52,928 --> 00:00:56,011
By the time all nine films are done,
it's gonna be like, I mean, I don't...
18
00:00:56,098 --> 00:00:58,259
I'm afraid to see what you guys
are gonna come up with.
19
00:00:58,350 --> 00:00:59,760
It's gonna be amazing.
20
00:01:12,281 --> 00:01:14,693
I've always called it a space fantasy,
21
00:01:15,450 --> 00:01:17,657
designed to be a modern fairy tale.
22
00:01:25,002 --> 00:01:30,213
Hopefully it will, you know,
justify it as a series,
23
00:01:30,299 --> 00:01:32,506
make you say, "gee, what happens next?"
24
00:01:37,681 --> 00:01:42,175
The real satisfaction will come out of
completing what we started out to do.
25
00:01:42,936 --> 00:01:45,848
And I don't think there's been anything
quite like this, you know?
26
00:01:45,939 --> 00:01:47,600
A beginning, a middle, and an end.
27
00:01:56,533 --> 00:01:58,273
It is the final chapter.
28
00:02:00,412 --> 00:02:01,697
It's the big finish.
29
00:02:01,788 --> 00:02:05,906
So, all stops are out,
and, uh, it's all go.
30
00:02:15,677 --> 00:02:17,633
Friends, it's that time again.
31
00:02:17,721 --> 00:02:21,555
To Mr. j.J. Abrams, I'd say a happy
day one on star wars. Episode ix.
32
00:02:21,642 --> 00:02:23,052
- Hip, hip...
- Hooray!
33
00:02:23,143 --> 00:02:25,976
- Hip, hip...
- Hooray!
34
00:02:26,063 --> 00:02:27,894
Thank you, all, again. Back to work.
35
00:02:30,942 --> 00:02:34,105
Today is day one of episode ix,
36
00:02:34,196 --> 00:02:36,312
and we're starting on the falcon,
37
00:02:36,406 --> 00:02:38,738
which is, uh,
incredibly surreal to be back.
38
00:02:38,825 --> 00:02:41,908
I never in a million years,
never thought I'd be back on this set.
39
00:02:41,995 --> 00:02:43,235
I'm so excited.
40
00:02:43,955 --> 00:02:46,162
It's not remotely
what I'm sure it was like
41
00:02:46,249 --> 00:02:48,661
for the legacy actors to come back at all.
42
00:02:48,752 --> 00:02:53,337
But it is a strange thing to return
to a place that you have fond memories
43
00:02:53,423 --> 00:02:56,836
and feel like you got to do
something very special,
44
00:02:56,927 --> 00:02:59,589
and sort of dodged a crazy bullet,
and was like, "il did it."
45
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,218
And now to be back here
feels, uh, really weird.
46
00:03:05,227 --> 00:03:09,391
We came into that first movie
with a lot of trepidation.
47
00:03:09,481 --> 00:03:13,269
All of us knew that we had
this huge weight on our shoulders.
48
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,898
And now, to have everybody coming back
and working together,
49
00:03:16,988 --> 00:03:19,149
it's kind of like
the family coming back together.
50
00:03:19,783 --> 00:03:20,943
I can't believe it.
51
00:03:21,034 --> 00:03:22,695
And that's made it really nice.
52
00:03:22,786 --> 00:03:25,243
We all know each other.
The crew are used to each other...
53
00:03:25,330 --> 00:03:27,321
Oh, my gosh.
54
00:03:27,416 --> 00:03:30,032
And now to finish it off with j.J.
Is a blessing, you know?
55
00:03:31,128 --> 00:03:33,244
And so I just get to enjoy my job.
56
00:03:33,338 --> 00:03:36,045
It's not just the end of three movies,
it's the end of nine movies.
57
00:03:36,133 --> 00:03:39,091
There's a lot to consider,
but I couldn't be more grateful.
58
00:03:39,177 --> 00:03:41,964
And I couldn't be more comforted
by the company I'm in.
59
00:03:42,055 --> 00:03:44,467
I come to star wars
first and foremost as a fan.
60
00:03:44,558 --> 00:03:47,641
So I have extremely high expectations.
61
00:03:47,728 --> 00:03:52,142
And the world of it means so much to me
that I'm not easy on it.
62
00:03:52,232 --> 00:03:54,598
And so we haven't been easy on ourselves.
63
00:03:55,652 --> 00:03:57,358
This is their creative faces.
64
00:03:58,196 --> 00:04:00,187
They're creatively trying to
come to a decision
65
00:04:00,282 --> 00:04:03,740
and they do faces like that
'cause that's what they do.
66
00:04:06,288 --> 00:04:10,327
It's how we create...
To kind of make real star wars decisions.
67
00:04:10,917 --> 00:04:13,078
Hey... do that thing where...
68
00:04:13,170 --> 00:04:15,752
What'd he say?
I'm gonna rewind this and watch it.
69
00:04:16,757 --> 00:04:18,192
Every day we ask ourselves,
70
00:04:18,216 --> 00:04:22,926
"how do you end the story that
George Lucas started so many years ago?"
71
00:04:23,013 --> 00:04:27,006
"How do you end this myth
that's become a myth for the whole world?"
72
00:04:27,434 --> 00:04:28,924
- Rolling.
- Rolling.
73
00:04:29,686 --> 00:04:31,267
Moving. And we're flying.
74
00:04:31,354 --> 00:04:33,310
Set, and action.
75
00:04:33,398 --> 00:04:34,398
Action.
76
00:04:35,734 --> 00:04:36,894
The fun begins.
77
00:04:36,985 --> 00:04:39,213
How long before you can
make the jump to light speed?
78
00:04:39,237 --> 00:04:42,024
Take a few minutes for the navi-computer
to calculate the coordinates.
79
00:04:42,115 --> 00:04:44,948
A few minutes? Are you kidding?
At the rate they're gaining?
80
00:04:45,368 --> 00:04:47,279
Uh... no, what is it?
81
00:04:47,370 --> 00:04:48,639
"Traveling through hyperspace..."
82
00:04:48,663 --> 00:04:49,823
Do you have to shoot this?
83
00:04:49,915 --> 00:04:51,726
Traveling through hyperspace
is like dusting...
84
00:04:51,750 --> 00:04:52,810
It ain't like dusting crops, kid,
85
00:04:52,834 --> 00:04:55,371
without precise calculations,
we fly too close to a star...
86
00:04:56,505 --> 00:04:58,791
Then bounce into a supermarket and then...
87
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:01,652
- Yeah.
- It'd be a hell of a mess.
88
00:05:01,676 --> 00:05:02,676
What's that?
89
00:05:03,011 --> 00:05:05,047
Watch...
We're losing the deflector shields.
90
00:05:05,138 --> 00:05:07,299
Go strap yourselves in.
Be careful on the way out.
91
00:05:07,390 --> 00:05:09,346
Yeah, sure. I'm taking it very cautiously.
92
00:05:10,477 --> 00:05:11,477
Okay, cut.
93
00:05:12,562 --> 00:05:13,927
You.
94
00:05:14,022 --> 00:05:16,729
Go away with that.
95
00:05:16,817 --> 00:05:20,105
- "Bounce too near a supermarket”?
- What did you say?
96
00:05:20,195 --> 00:05:21,810
It's a righteous challenge, you know?
97
00:05:21,905 --> 00:05:25,113
I think for the last movie
there is such expectation
98
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:26,800
and such investment in these characters.
99
00:05:26,868 --> 00:05:29,280
- Where are you skipping to, poe?
- Scary places.
100
00:05:29,371 --> 00:05:30,371
Roll.
101
00:05:30,455 --> 00:05:34,073
Seeing poe and Finn
and Chewie in the cockpit
102
00:05:34,167 --> 00:05:37,204
has been an extremely fun and sweet start.
103
00:05:37,295 --> 00:05:40,583
And now we're doing
a quick test with Daisy.
104
00:05:40,674 --> 00:05:42,568
- It's so pretty, the thing. It's so nice.
- Nice, huh?
105
00:05:42,592 --> 00:05:44,153
We're kind of trying to finalize the look.
106
00:05:44,177 --> 00:05:46,509
I haven't seen it.
I mean, I saw the rough...
107
00:05:47,472 --> 00:05:50,589
- I like it.
- An outward reflection of my inner soul.
108
00:05:51,768 --> 00:05:53,759
Um...
109
00:05:53,854 --> 00:05:55,469
Uh... what's going on”? How are you?
110
00:05:55,564 --> 00:05:57,750
I'm having a proper lack...
I couldn't sleep last night.
111
00:05:57,774 --> 00:06:00,641
It's been quite a long buildup
of freaking out.
112
00:06:00,735 --> 00:06:01,975
Yeah, it's nerve-racking.
113
00:06:02,070 --> 00:06:03,339
I don't really know how to describe it,
114
00:06:03,363 --> 00:06:07,151
but I feel more the expectation
of what people want for the last chapter.
115
00:06:08,326 --> 00:06:11,443
I do remember what my first week was like
because we were in Abu Dhabi.
116
00:06:11,538 --> 00:06:14,371
You're on Fatima
and then you look at the ship.
117
00:06:17,002 --> 00:06:18,896
It's sort of
the same levels of nerves, actually.
118
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,126
There we go, that's better.
119
00:06:20,213 --> 00:06:21,794
So I remember it vividly.
120
00:06:21,882 --> 00:06:25,170
And the whole week was like...
And it was both amazing and terrifying.
121
00:06:26,553 --> 00:06:29,545
I was doing my walk along the desert,
122
00:06:29,639 --> 00:06:31,425
taking off my stormtrooper gear.
123
00:06:31,516 --> 00:06:32,756
There you go.
124
00:06:33,685 --> 00:06:37,052
It was very hot,
and everything looked very big to me.
125
00:06:37,147 --> 00:06:40,890
I was like, "why is this camera so big?”
like, "why everything is huge?"
126
00:06:40,984 --> 00:06:44,602
Um... but it was fun.
I was getting used to a whole new world.
127
00:06:46,197 --> 00:06:47,983
When Oscar came in to audition,
128
00:06:48,074 --> 00:06:51,316
obviously I had the role before,
and Oscar hadn't done much...
129
00:06:51,411 --> 00:06:52,992
It was more of a technicality.
130
00:06:53,079 --> 00:06:55,365
I mean, I, you know,
I wouldn't call it an audition...
131
00:06:55,457 --> 00:06:57,072
An audition. More of a read.
132
00:06:57,167 --> 00:06:58,202
It was more of a...
133
00:06:58,293 --> 00:06:59,854
But he read the scene,
and I was kind of like,
134
00:06:59,878 --> 00:07:03,962
"j.j., what are you doing, man? It's him.
Come on. Let's stop wasting time, man."
135
00:07:04,049 --> 00:07:08,133
And it's nice to be able to actualize that
chemistry that we had on that first read.
136
00:07:08,887 --> 00:07:11,924
Thanks for a great,
great first day back. Thank you very much.
137
00:07:12,015 --> 00:07:13,630
We made it one day. Day one.
138
00:07:20,065 --> 00:07:23,728
/f is my honor to be the one
lo introduce back to this universe...
139
00:07:24,402 --> 00:07:25,892
Mr. Billy Dee Williams.
140
00:07:30,116 --> 00:07:34,485
I am quite pleased about
this whole situation
141
00:07:34,579 --> 00:07:37,412
coming back as an elder statesman.
142
00:07:37,499 --> 00:07:39,740
Will you die in the movie?
143
00:07:40,251 --> 00:07:43,584
Uh, no. Not yet, anyway.
144
00:07:43,672 --> 00:07:46,288
No, I understand
they want to carry this character on.
145
00:07:46,925 --> 00:07:49,507
Continue... I think he's going to be
part of the heroes.
146
00:07:50,136 --> 00:07:52,548
Well, look at you. A general, huh?
147
00:07:52,639 --> 00:07:55,631
You look damn good,
that's all I'm gonna say. Let's do it.
148
00:07:55,725 --> 00:07:57,578
- And go, background.
- Action.
149
00:07:57,602 --> 00:07:59,622
I love the whole idea
of a movie like this,
150
00:07:59,646 --> 00:08:03,980
because it talks about the classic
question, you know, about good and evil,
151
00:08:04,609 --> 00:08:06,725
and what prevails
and what doesn't prevail.
152
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,653
- There's something to gawk at. Billy Dee.
- Trust me.
153
00:08:11,700 --> 00:08:14,533
You said it, Chewie.
154
00:08:15,495 --> 00:08:17,235
One last time.
155
00:08:17,956 --> 00:08:20,288
- And sound speed.
- Thirty-eight apple. Take one.
156
00:08:20,375 --> 00:08:21,852
Could have used your help out there.
157
00:08:21,876 --> 00:08:23,958
- How'd it go?
- Not well, actually.
158
00:08:24,045 --> 00:08:26,912
It is the first movie that, you know,
159
00:08:27,007 --> 00:08:30,499
that, ostensibly, this new generation
had to carry on their own.
160
00:08:31,052 --> 00:08:34,052
As the end of v///left the
resistance, you know, in kind of pieces,
161
00:08:34,139 --> 00:08:37,552
they've set up camp quickly with what
they've been able to resource and access.
162
00:08:37,642 --> 00:08:40,384
It's weird coming back
and kind of feeling this, like,
163
00:08:40,478 --> 00:08:43,185
earned confidence
of having done it before,
164
00:08:43,273 --> 00:08:45,042
but also knowing that
there are still going to be times
165
00:08:45,066 --> 00:08:47,753
when you're figuring things out,
and it's different and new and scary.
166
00:08:47,777 --> 00:08:50,564
But you can get through it
with the people that you're working with.
167
00:08:50,655 --> 00:08:51,841
- I love it.
- I liked it too, it was really good.
168
00:08:51,865 --> 00:08:53,545
- Joonas coming through.
- I say, hurry up.
169
00:08:55,994 --> 00:08:59,282
Making j.J. Laugh
is my number two priority, you know?
170
00:09:01,458 --> 00:09:04,621
Get the shot, nail the acting,
make j.J. Laugh.
171
00:09:04,711 --> 00:09:05,996
Go, background!
172
00:09:13,970 --> 00:09:15,948
The challenge for the designers
and for j.J.
173
00:09:15,972 --> 00:09:19,760
Was to create an environment
that looks temporary and sort of ad hoc,
174
00:09:19,851 --> 00:09:22,388
but also has a bit of
the soul of star wars in it.
175
00:09:27,275 --> 00:09:28,419
Looking amazing, guys.
176
00:09:28,443 --> 00:09:31,059
When I'm in there, I say,
"gonk, gonk, gonk."
177
00:09:31,154 --> 00:09:33,145
Look straight, yeah, that's it.
178
00:09:33,531 --> 00:09:35,317
That's amazing, really incredible.
179
00:09:36,576 --> 00:09:38,737
Bloody hell.
How much you lifting in the gym, bro?
180
00:09:38,828 --> 00:09:40,948
- We have a whole situation in here, boy.
- Yeah, man.
181
00:09:41,039 --> 00:09:43,280
Put a microwave in,
a little TV on the side...
182
00:09:43,374 --> 00:09:45,490
- That's what I'm going for.
- Home sweet home.
183
00:09:49,255 --> 00:09:53,544
As we decided that we would link
this place with Leia's past,
184
00:09:53,635 --> 00:09:55,045
it all started to come together.
185
00:09:55,136 --> 00:09:58,219
Kevin has the idea we could put the
blockade runner in the middle of the cave,
186
00:09:58,306 --> 00:09:59,887
and that's why they're hiding out.
187
00:09:59,974 --> 00:10:03,592
That way, every time you turn around,
you're going to see the blockade runner.
188
00:10:03,686 --> 00:10:07,349
The blockade runner is the
first ship that you ever see in star wars,
189
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,307
the ship that is running
from the imperial star destroyer.
190
00:10:11,528 --> 00:10:13,940
It's the first time
we ever see Princess Leia.
191
00:10:14,030 --> 00:10:17,898
It was trying to link this last film all
the way back with the very first film
192
00:10:17,992 --> 00:10:20,358
by saying,
"this is how we've introduced her,
193
00:10:20,453 --> 00:10:22,819
and this is how we finish
her journey within star wars."
194
00:10:22,914 --> 00:10:24,934
Okay, guys. Walk away.
Quick, quick. Go, go.
195
00:10:24,958 --> 00:10:26,869
When we were doing v///,
196
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,872
she knew that that movie
was very much han's story.
197
00:10:29,963 --> 00:10:32,249
And then v///was very much Luke's.
198
00:10:32,340 --> 00:10:35,457
You know, the thing she had said
was that /x'should be Leia's.
199
00:10:35,552 --> 00:10:38,339
Uh, and that's really something
that we've tried to do.
200
00:10:38,429 --> 00:10:43,594
We lost Carrie before the movie began,
so that was our first discussion, really.
201
00:10:43,685 --> 00:10:47,428
It's, "how on earth do you tell
episode ix without Leia?"
202
00:10:51,025 --> 00:10:54,643
We couldn't let Leia not be in this story.
203
00:10:54,737 --> 00:10:55,737
Action.
204
00:10:56,865 --> 00:10:57,775
Rey.
205
00:10:57,866 --> 00:11:03,486
Leia is extremely important
as a part of the conclusion of this saga,
206
00:11:03,580 --> 00:11:05,536
so we had to figure that out.
207
00:11:05,623 --> 00:11:06,988
May the force be with you.
208
00:11:07,083 --> 00:11:08,643
One more time. That was great.
209
00:11:08,710 --> 00:11:11,543
I will probably always
be identified as this person.
210
00:11:11,629 --> 00:11:15,213
Vivien Leigh was always
Scarlett O'Hara except to Olivier.
211
00:11:15,300 --> 00:11:19,589
I don't know. I will probably be
Princess Leia till I'm 85 years old.
212
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:20,885
Are you happy now?
213
00:11:22,140 --> 00:11:25,098
I give George huge credit
for creating Princess Leia.
214
00:11:25,185 --> 00:11:29,428
Certainly one of the feistiest
female heroines ever in cinema.
215
00:11:31,774 --> 00:11:35,517
You know, in the fairy tales,
a Princess is to be rescued,
216
00:11:35,612 --> 00:11:38,570
and she was far from
being a damsel in distress.
217
00:11:38,656 --> 00:11:40,521
Aren't you a little short
for a stormtrooper?
218
00:11:40,617 --> 00:11:41,617
Huh?
219
00:11:41,659 --> 00:11:44,947
She found both han and I incompetent.
220
00:11:45,038 --> 00:11:48,246
"You call this a rescue?
Give me those guns."
221
00:11:48,333 --> 00:11:49,573
It still makes me laugh.
222
00:11:50,752 --> 00:11:54,244
- What the hell are you doing?
- Somebody has to save our skins.
223
00:11:54,339 --> 00:11:57,877
She's just authoritative
and just plows ahead, it doesn't matter.
224
00:11:57,967 --> 00:12:01,050
"Let's go through this shower
of asteroids, who cares?"
225
00:12:01,721 --> 00:12:03,882
And my hair won't get messed up.
226
00:12:04,599 --> 00:12:09,559
So, uh... she's different from...
And I like her, I like her independence.
227
00:12:09,646 --> 00:12:13,138
And I do wish that I had
a little bit more of,
228
00:12:13,233 --> 00:12:16,145
"come on, let's just walk through
the traffic, it doesn't bother me.
229
00:12:16,236 --> 00:12:18,596
It's not a, you know...
I won't get hurt, there's a sequel.”
230
00:12:18,655 --> 00:12:23,240
So, on that level, I envy her. I admit it.
231
00:12:23,326 --> 00:12:25,362
I don't know that the luck,
the serendipity,
232
00:12:25,453 --> 00:12:30,447
of the fact that we had this footage
that we didn't use in episode vi,
233
00:12:30,541 --> 00:12:34,784
and, you know, really, it meant a lot
that it had been j.J. There directing her,
234
00:12:36,214 --> 00:12:40,457
and he was confident in partnership with
his editors and visual effects supervisor
235
00:12:40,551 --> 00:12:44,544
that we could use that footage
and it would be 100% Carrie Fisher.
236
00:12:44,639 --> 00:12:47,130
Week one, we were pulling dailies
237
00:12:47,225 --> 00:12:51,013
for them to start writing a script
based on lines of performance
238
00:12:51,104 --> 00:12:52,389
that hadn't been used.
239
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,142
And then Chris phoned me to say,
"we have this one line,
240
00:12:55,233 --> 00:12:58,396
how many takes do we have,
what is she doing, how does she look,
241
00:12:58,486 --> 00:12:59,851
how does she say the line?"
242
00:13:02,782 --> 00:13:04,488
What I felt like with j.J.
243
00:13:04,575 --> 00:13:08,284
Was he loved these films
in the same way a lot of people do.
244
00:13:08,371 --> 00:13:09,827
They're part of your childhood.
245
00:13:09,914 --> 00:13:13,998
And so there's a tremendous responsibility
to that.
246
00:13:14,085 --> 00:13:15,575
To this thing that he treasured.
247
00:13:15,670 --> 00:13:19,538
But he seemed completely up for that.
248
00:13:19,632 --> 00:13:21,497
They had so much fun on force awakens,
249
00:13:21,592 --> 00:13:22,653
and we all got along so well.
250
00:13:22,677 --> 00:13:24,668
It was actually my first movie I ever did.
251
00:13:24,762 --> 00:13:30,257
This is my daughter, the un-legacied,
the legacy of the legacy.
252
00:13:30,351 --> 00:13:35,471
I treat it incredibly personally
and I think we all will, very carefully,
253
00:13:35,565 --> 00:13:37,476
to make sure that those scenes
254
00:13:37,567 --> 00:13:41,230
are both serving a story purpose,
an entertainment purpose,
255
00:13:41,321 --> 00:13:43,937
but also honoring her and the character,
256
00:13:44,032 --> 00:13:46,239
which is, you know,
a real point of this movie.
257
00:13:46,326 --> 00:13:49,489
Carrie was such a wonderful,
special person, and I loved her dearly.
258
00:13:49,579 --> 00:13:52,491
And so, there was a personal aspect
for all of us that knew her,
259
00:13:52,582 --> 00:13:54,493
but also, technically, how to do it,
260
00:13:54,584 --> 00:13:57,792
and do it in a respectful,
seamless, clever way.
261
00:14:00,131 --> 00:14:04,545
Instead of trying
to integrate Carrie into a scene,
262
00:14:04,635 --> 00:14:06,751
we actually had Carrie
263
00:14:06,846 --> 00:14:09,087
and then we just built
the entire scene around her.
264
00:14:09,182 --> 00:14:11,969
We were initially creating storyboards
265
00:14:12,060 --> 00:14:15,097
to be able to fill in
what the scene would be
266
00:14:15,188 --> 00:14:18,225
that wasn't the actual Carrie footage
that we pulled from episode vii.
267
00:14:18,316 --> 00:14:21,729
This mission is everything.
We cannot fail.
268
00:14:21,819 --> 00:14:25,107
Roger, Maryann and I
then cut the scenes together
269
00:14:25,198 --> 00:14:27,689
to demonstrate to j.J. What it could be.
270
00:14:27,784 --> 00:14:30,196
Do me a personal favor? Be optimistic.
271
00:14:30,286 --> 00:14:32,493
He could then visualize conceptually,
272
00:14:32,580 --> 00:14:35,572
"ah, well, we definitely need these shots,
we don't need those shots."
273
00:14:35,666 --> 00:14:37,782
We were able to recreate everything
274
00:14:37,877 --> 00:14:40,209
as faithfully as it was on the day,
275
00:14:40,296 --> 00:14:41,911
building our movie around her.
276
00:14:42,006 --> 00:14:45,248
And so that involves figuring out the
staging of the other characters as well.
277
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,404
It's literally like a gift from her,
278
00:14:47,428 --> 00:14:51,091
or her forcing us to make her
the star of the movie, but...
279
00:14:51,182 --> 00:14:52,182
Probably both.
280
00:14:55,937 --> 00:14:59,100
This is the first scene
that we're doing with Leia,
281
00:14:59,190 --> 00:15:02,978
and of course, we don't have
the most important person with us.
282
00:15:03,069 --> 00:15:05,105
I would say, we should have
a moment of silence,
283
00:15:05,196 --> 00:15:07,091
but that's the last thing
that Carrie would stand for,
284
00:15:07,115 --> 00:15:08,525
um, so instead I will say,
285
00:15:08,616 --> 00:15:12,404
let's have every moment be
one of celebration for a woman we loved,
286
00:15:12,495 --> 00:15:14,360
a character we loved and admired.
287
00:15:14,455 --> 00:15:17,538
Thanks a lot. Thank you.
288
00:15:18,835 --> 00:15:20,826
The reality of having to do a scene
289
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,785
with someone who isn't actually there...
290
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:23,880
Yes, master.
291
00:15:24,382 --> 00:15:25,622
Was very difficult.
292
00:15:26,342 --> 00:15:29,129
I sort of had to walk off
and have a moment.
293
00:15:30,263 --> 00:15:34,222
Being back has been incredible,
painful, surreal...
294
00:15:37,437 --> 00:15:42,898
All of the adjectives that
you can come up with, probably, I felt.
295
00:15:45,236 --> 00:15:47,943
It was a hard day, but it was a good day.
296
00:15:48,614 --> 00:15:50,855
We've had tears and we've had, you know...
297
00:15:50,950 --> 00:15:53,066
- Laughter. Memories.
- Laughter. Yeah.
298
00:15:54,162 --> 00:15:58,826
And the fact that there were so many
people around talking so fondly of her,
299
00:15:58,916 --> 00:16:01,532
and sharing our memories of her.
300
00:16:01,627 --> 00:16:06,087
And with Billie, to be able to listen to,
you know, how people think of her mum...
301
00:16:06,174 --> 00:16:08,039
- You know, it's...
- Amazing.
302
00:16:08,801 --> 00:16:11,383
There's no one in the entire cast and crew
303
00:16:11,471 --> 00:16:13,928
that was more supportive than Billie.
304
00:16:14,015 --> 00:16:18,384
And so, to know that we were doing this
with, sort of, her at our side,
305
00:16:18,478 --> 00:16:20,890
that's something
I'll just always be grateful to her for.
306
00:16:20,980 --> 00:16:24,939
I'm so happy, and she would be happy
that it's her movie too.
307
00:16:40,875 --> 00:16:44,208
We asked some really exciting
questions at the beginning of this,
308
00:16:44,295 --> 00:16:47,128
as far as Leia's force strength.
309
00:16:53,262 --> 00:16:54,968
Did she train as a jedi?
310
00:17:00,061 --> 00:17:03,428
And the decision
to make her part of that story
311
00:17:03,523 --> 00:17:06,060
was a pretty exciting one to us.
312
00:17:06,776 --> 00:17:09,893
You see the saber fight
between Luke and Leia.
313
00:17:11,656 --> 00:17:15,274
We tried to use two performances
of Mark Hamill and Carrie
314
00:17:15,368 --> 00:17:16,608
at the appropriate age.
315
00:17:19,705 --> 00:17:23,289
And in fact, Leia is being played
by Billie, her own daughter,
316
00:17:23,376 --> 00:17:24,376
which is amazing.
317
00:17:26,963 --> 00:17:30,205
There was this idea in
return of the jedithat there is another.
318
00:17:30,299 --> 00:17:32,756
And of course, it refers to Leia.
319
00:17:32,843 --> 00:17:37,303
And we thought that was kind of a promise
that had not yet been fulfilled.
320
00:17:37,390 --> 00:17:40,257
So when she says
at the end of episode viii...
321
00:17:40,351 --> 00:17:42,433
We have everything we need.
322
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,762
It felt like the perfect transition
to this story,
323
00:17:45,856 --> 00:17:50,441
where we come in and discover
that Rey is continuing her jedi training,
324
00:17:50,528 --> 00:17:53,270
but she's being trained
by the other Skywalker.
325
00:17:57,827 --> 00:18:02,537
It's fascinating to watch
an actress come into a role like Rey,
326
00:18:02,623 --> 00:18:05,239
and to be 19, 20 years old.
327
00:18:05,334 --> 00:18:09,919
Even the idea of getting strong
physically, all of that was new.
328
00:18:10,006 --> 00:18:11,006
Whoo!
329
00:18:11,090 --> 00:18:14,958
And now as she's emerging
as a powerful jedi...
330
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,335
- Blast him back? Okay.
- Yeah.
331
00:18:17,430 --> 00:18:22,345
And you're watching her as Daisy
actually move through that process,
332
00:18:22,435 --> 00:18:24,346
there's an interesting parallel.
333
00:18:24,437 --> 00:18:26,117
Bit of dialogue, bit of dialogue.
334
00:18:26,147 --> 00:18:28,763
I went into it knowing
that I wanted to be healthy.
335
00:18:28,858 --> 00:18:31,975
Doing stuff that literally
feels good for your body.
336
00:18:32,069 --> 00:18:33,630
So I was sort of combining
a number of things,
337
00:18:33,654 --> 00:18:36,396
so I was doing essentially
bodyweight training five days a week,
338
00:18:36,490 --> 00:18:37,855
and then kickboxing twice a week.
339
00:18:37,950 --> 00:18:39,156
One, two.
340
00:18:41,245 --> 00:18:42,576
En garde. Dialogue.
341
00:18:42,663 --> 00:18:45,405
I took karate, uh, kendo,
342
00:18:45,499 --> 00:18:47,410
and did a little bit of weight training.
343
00:18:48,544 --> 00:18:51,877
They sort of want to mix
that martial arts flavor
344
00:18:51,964 --> 00:18:54,751
in with the traditional foil fencing.
345
00:18:54,842 --> 00:18:57,584
- That's good. All right.
- Okay.
346
00:18:57,678 --> 00:19:00,795
- Okay, we have to rest now.
- Okay. That's it, all right.
347
00:19:00,890 --> 00:19:02,881
I can't talk now. I'm out of breath.
348
00:19:03,434 --> 00:19:04,434
Is it difficult?
349
00:19:04,518 --> 00:19:06,509
He's becoming better than errol Flynn.
350
00:19:06,604 --> 00:19:08,140
What do you mean by difficult?
351
00:19:08,648 --> 00:19:11,105
This is unusual, you know,
I haven't seen this one before.
352
00:19:11,192 --> 00:19:12,711
Then you pull the saber out. Here we go.
353
00:19:12,735 --> 00:19:15,317
You know how this is going to go.
It hits you immediately.
354
00:19:15,404 --> 00:19:19,488
This remote droid was molded from
the original mold for a new hope,
355
00:19:19,575 --> 00:19:20,815
the one that they used then.
356
00:19:20,910 --> 00:19:25,404
So that is exactly the same as what
you saw on the falcon on a new hope.
357
00:19:27,917 --> 00:19:29,436
- Sick.
- That's got a good rhythm.
358
00:19:29,460 --> 00:19:30,460
Do a stab.
359
00:19:31,754 --> 00:19:33,164
There you go. Yeah, like that.
360
00:19:33,255 --> 00:19:35,792
- That's what it, are you ready?
- That was quick.
361
00:19:35,883 --> 00:19:38,374
- It must be really annoying.
- Yeah.
362
00:19:38,469 --> 00:19:41,073
- Try and get me. Go on.
- There you go. That's it.
363
00:19:41,097 --> 00:19:42,712
That's the feeling. That's it, yeah.
364
00:19:42,807 --> 00:19:45,469
- Eunice.
- Come get me, go on.
365
00:19:45,559 --> 00:19:48,121
- It is like that though.
- That's what it is. That's exactly right.
366
00:19:48,145 --> 00:19:50,185
Eunice just
a tremendous stunt coordinator,
367
00:19:50,272 --> 00:19:51,603
amazing force of nature.
368
00:19:51,691 --> 00:19:53,602
She just came across
as a breath of fresh air,
369
00:19:53,693 --> 00:19:57,311
someone who would attack this
with a passion that j.J. Would respond to.
370
00:20:00,658 --> 00:20:02,239
She's on the tightrope.
371
00:20:02,326 --> 00:20:03,406
- Going.
- Yeah.
372
00:20:03,494 --> 00:20:06,611
She gets the ribbon.
Now she's running back.
373
00:20:06,706 --> 00:20:09,038
- Thirty foot is quite a big gorge.
- It is.
374
00:20:09,125 --> 00:20:12,583
Do you like the idea
that there's like a half-fallen tree
375
00:20:12,670 --> 00:20:16,379
and she sprints up the fallen tree
so it pitches it off over the gorge a bit,
376
00:20:16,465 --> 00:20:19,707
and she gets the height coming,
to come down on?
377
00:20:19,802 --> 00:20:22,384
- You would believe it more. Yeah, cool.
- No, it's good.
378
00:20:22,471 --> 00:20:23,506
All right. Nice.
379
00:20:23,597 --> 00:20:26,555
Yeah, I got one!
380
00:20:26,642 --> 00:20:30,226
Yes, home run! Boom. Have it.
381
00:20:39,029 --> 00:20:40,735
- How's that?
- Good.
382
00:20:43,325 --> 00:20:45,611
Does it... make it softer next time?
383
00:20:47,163 --> 00:20:48,824
She's walking to the end.
384
00:20:48,914 --> 00:20:52,077
And then remember, that strong takeoff
changes the whole body language.
385
00:20:52,168 --> 00:20:54,329
- That strong takeoff.
- Okay.
386
00:20:54,420 --> 00:20:56,356
And when you cycle through,
forget about the wires,
387
00:20:56,380 --> 00:20:58,100
- then just bring your arms through.
- Yeah.
388
00:20:58,132 --> 00:20:59,372
- Okay.
- Okay.
389
00:20:59,467 --> 00:21:03,961
It's funny because I had heard various
things about eunice before I met her.
390
00:21:04,054 --> 00:21:06,761
People go... people call her intense.
391
00:21:06,849 --> 00:21:08,464
With intention, Tommy.
392
00:21:09,059 --> 00:21:11,516
- I'm tense.
- Oh, I'm tense.
393
00:21:13,564 --> 00:21:18,183
Oh. I'm not tense at all.
I'm having a lovely time. This is great.
394
00:21:20,112 --> 00:21:24,196
She's just got the most amazing energy
all the time.
395
00:21:24,283 --> 00:21:26,990
This is all you, forget the wires.
You're doing this jump for real.
396
00:21:27,077 --> 00:21:28,567
- Yeah.
- Just drive!
397
00:21:28,662 --> 00:21:30,448
Set. And roll sound.
398
00:21:30,539 --> 00:21:32,370
- Rolling.
- Roll cameras, please.
399
00:21:32,458 --> 00:21:33,288
Sound speed.
400
00:21:33,375 --> 00:21:34,853
- Sixteen Lima, take two.
- Here we go.
401
00:21:34,877 --> 00:21:39,496
Sef and go. Camera!
Three, two, one. Action!
402
00:21:39,590 --> 00:21:41,080
Stretch out!
403
00:21:43,427 --> 00:21:45,713
And cut. Great job, Daisy.
404
00:21:45,805 --> 00:21:47,616
- I don't think that was the best one.
- Great job, dais.
405
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,723
- I think I'm seeing you do that.
- Yeah.
406
00:21:50,810 --> 00:21:53,497
- It's like good, good, good, weird.
- Didn't hit the wires.
407
00:21:53,521 --> 00:21:55,637
Eunice came over to me at one point,
she goes,
408
00:21:55,731 --> 00:21:57,584
"do you think you were
as intense as last time?"
409
00:21:57,608 --> 00:21:59,461
I was like,
"that's not the question, is it, eunice?
410
00:21:59,485 --> 00:22:02,088
You're asking me to be more intense.
Just ask me to be more intense."
411
00:22:02,112 --> 00:22:04,478
She's like, "yeah, be more intense."
I was like, "okay."
412
00:22:04,573 --> 00:22:09,909
Sef, energy, and go. Camera!
Three, two, one. Action!
413
00:22:09,995 --> 00:22:11,986
Drive! Stretch out!
414
00:22:12,081 --> 00:22:14,663
Good girl. That's the one. That's the one.
415
00:22:15,334 --> 00:22:16,369
Good girl.
416
00:22:17,795 --> 00:22:20,127
- Great job, Daisy.
- That was great.
417
00:22:20,214 --> 00:22:22,580
The excitement on eunice's face
when we nail it.
418
00:22:22,675 --> 00:22:23,755
She's just like, "yeah!"
419
00:22:23,843 --> 00:22:27,552
I mean, it's just so... you're just
so happy she's happy. So it's truly...
420
00:22:27,638 --> 00:22:29,094
I think every stunt that happens,
421
00:22:29,181 --> 00:22:34,767
she actually projects herself
into the role, and she's doing it.
422
00:22:34,854 --> 00:22:38,847
Her entire body is moving
in front of the monitor
423
00:22:38,941 --> 00:22:42,354
when she watches
every little detail of a stunt.
424
00:22:42,444 --> 00:22:47,359
Eunice has a confidence
that is really exciting to work with.
425
00:22:47,449 --> 00:22:50,316
She's ferocious in a way
that you want people to be.
426
00:22:50,411 --> 00:22:52,971
And when you have people like that,
then you trust their opinion.
427
00:22:52,997 --> 00:22:55,739
And it challenges you
to make it better and more specific.
428
00:22:55,833 --> 00:22:58,950
There was no icebreaker with Adam.
You just, it's like...
429
00:22:59,044 --> 00:23:02,161
And that's it.
But I actually love it, I love it.
430
00:23:02,256 --> 00:23:04,793
Even in rehearsals, Adam's in character.
431
00:23:04,884 --> 00:23:08,342
I'll go, "Adam, you need to step out more,
it's closing your strength down."
432
00:23:08,429 --> 00:23:11,262
And he's like, "no, no, I don't need to
step out more.
433
00:23:11,348 --> 00:23:12,758
Kylo Ren wouldn't be like that."
434
00:23:12,850 --> 00:23:16,342
He wants it there, he wants it there.
And I'd be like, "yeah, but, yeah, but..."
435
00:23:16,437 --> 00:23:19,053
And we'd have this, like,
argument, but I like it.
436
00:23:19,148 --> 00:23:20,166
Character is her starting place.
437
00:23:20,190 --> 00:23:22,681
It's never from spectacle,
it's always from within.
438
00:23:22,776 --> 00:23:26,360
He was like, "so this how it is, eunice.
I do all my own stunts."
439
00:23:26,447 --> 00:23:29,109
And I'm like, "yeah, here we go.
I always hear it."
440
00:23:29,199 --> 00:23:31,678
I go, "Adam, there's a level you can do,
and there's a level you can't."
441
00:23:31,702 --> 00:23:34,239
"No, no, no, you're not hearing me.
I do it all."
442
00:23:34,330 --> 00:23:37,948
The physicality of kylo,
I'm very protective over,
443
00:23:38,042 --> 00:23:41,705
so you kind of...
I wanted to do all of the things.
444
00:23:41,795 --> 00:23:44,065
I was like, "well, okay,
if it looks good, you can do it.
445
00:23:44,089 --> 00:23:46,831
If it doesn't look that good,
I'll be putting the stunt guy in."
446
00:23:46,926 --> 00:23:50,510
It has to look good, so, um...
But he did everything.
447
00:23:53,265 --> 00:23:55,051
Okay, troopers. Grab yourself a seat.
448
00:23:55,142 --> 00:23:56,348
Welcome, everyone.
449
00:23:56,435 --> 00:23:59,427
Thank you for being here,
for being the evil crew.
450
00:23:59,521 --> 00:24:01,307
Troopers, quick as you can. Thanks.
451
00:24:01,941 --> 00:24:03,101
You look awesome.
452
00:24:05,194 --> 00:24:06,900
Thank you so much, and let's have fun.
453
00:24:06,987 --> 00:24:08,947
- All in favor say, "aye."
- Aye.
454
00:24:13,035 --> 00:24:14,262
At the start of the movie,
455
00:24:14,286 --> 00:24:18,325
you find kylo the most assured
of the choices that he's making,
456
00:24:18,415 --> 00:24:20,622
going deeper and deeper
into the dark side.
457
00:24:23,587 --> 00:24:27,250
The thing that j.J. Said to me
when we first met was
458
00:24:27,341 --> 00:24:32,586
that I imagine a journey of a character
where it's almost the opposite of vader.
459
00:24:34,473 --> 00:24:37,260
Someone who almost starts
the most vulnerable...
460
00:24:38,435 --> 00:24:41,723
And kind of gradually becomes closer
to his convictions,
461
00:24:41,814 --> 00:24:43,679
more assured about his choices,
462
00:24:43,774 --> 00:24:46,356
had metaphorically and physically
killed his father...
463
00:24:46,443 --> 00:24:50,937
The unique and very
deeply emotional and troubling way
464
00:24:51,031 --> 00:24:53,818
in which Han Solo meets his fate
465
00:24:53,909 --> 00:24:58,619
helps realize the full potential
of the character that Adam driver plays.
466
00:25:02,543 --> 00:25:05,455
What is it in the human brain
467
00:25:05,546 --> 00:25:11,963
that gives us the capacity
to be as evil as human beings have been?
468
00:25:13,721 --> 00:25:16,963
That's what I wonder. I wonder
how can those people possibly exist?
469
00:25:18,225 --> 00:25:24,892
Compassion and greed,
we all have those two sides of us.
470
00:25:25,607 --> 00:25:29,225
We have to make sure
that those two sides of us are in balance.
471
00:25:29,319 --> 00:25:32,311
What happens when you go to the dark side
is it goes out of balance.
472
00:25:33,782 --> 00:25:36,569
At the heart of this movie is a darkness.
473
00:25:37,703 --> 00:25:40,866
It's part of Rey's journey
to confront this darkness
474
00:25:40,956 --> 00:25:44,119
that's been there from
the very beginning of 7he force awakens.
475
00:25:46,628 --> 00:25:47,939
We knew from the beginning
476
00:25:47,963 --> 00:25:50,275
that there would be a heart of darkness-y
structure to the movie
477
00:25:50,299 --> 00:25:53,462
and that this would be
about Rey's journey to the darkest place,
478
00:25:53,552 --> 00:25:55,338
both in the galaxy and for her.
479
00:25:55,429 --> 00:25:59,263
But we had to work a lot to try to
figure out exactly what that was,
480
00:25:59,349 --> 00:26:02,216
exactly what it meant,
how the past would come into the story,
481
00:26:02,311 --> 00:26:05,394
how the present and future
would interact with that past.
482
00:26:06,190 --> 00:26:11,651
The idea came up of, "well,
what if palpatine lived on in some way?"
483
00:26:11,737 --> 00:26:14,570
Within about 30 seconds
of discussing that idea,
484
00:26:14,656 --> 00:26:16,738
we just knew that it was the right idea
485
00:26:16,825 --> 00:26:20,943
because we knew that this has always been
a story of skywalkers and palpatines.
486
00:26:21,038 --> 00:26:22,778
It's a generational story.
487
00:26:22,873 --> 00:26:25,114
The idea of the story
of these grandchildren
488
00:26:26,085 --> 00:26:29,498
grappling with the same things
that their predecessors had dealt with,
489
00:26:29,588 --> 00:26:31,419
it just felt poetic.
490
00:26:31,507 --> 00:26:34,089
My favorite scene from the prequels,
491
00:26:34,176 --> 00:26:37,714
palpatine telling Anakin
the story of darth plagueis the wise
492
00:26:37,805 --> 00:26:39,887
and his obsession with cheating death.
493
00:26:39,973 --> 00:26:43,306
And it sits there
like the greatest setup of all time.
494
00:26:43,393 --> 00:26:46,806
The dark side of the force is a pathway
495
00:26:46,897 --> 00:26:52,187
to many abilities
some consider to be unnatural.
496
00:26:52,277 --> 00:26:54,393
So, it could be this unholy combination
497
00:26:54,488 --> 00:27:00,734
of trying to prolong life both through
medical means and through dark magic.
498
00:27:02,287 --> 00:27:05,029
I love that he already looks
like his action figure.
499
00:27:06,375 --> 00:27:08,661
I feel I've been lucky for the third time.
500
00:27:08,752 --> 00:27:12,586
When George saw me for ten minutes all
those years ago for return of the jed,
501
00:27:12,673 --> 00:27:14,789
I was suddenly
the emperor of the universe.
502
00:27:14,883 --> 00:27:16,373
So then, to get this call,
503
00:27:16,468 --> 00:27:22,338
it was once again a third time,
extraordinary experience.
504
00:27:22,432 --> 00:27:26,175
This is fantastic. It's so good.
505
00:27:26,270 --> 00:27:28,977
- Is it still insane?
- It's insane.
506
00:27:29,064 --> 00:27:30,600
It's insane.
507
00:27:31,525 --> 00:27:34,312
It's actually getting
more insane moment to moment.
508
00:27:37,573 --> 00:27:42,909
Welcome, young Skywalker.
I have been expecting you.
509
00:27:42,995 --> 00:27:48,615
It's like he has this instrument that can
go from a whisper to this mega roar.
510
00:27:48,709 --> 00:27:51,917
It sounds like he's got
a tiger purring in his throat
511
00:27:52,004 --> 00:27:55,087
and that makes the hairs
stand up on the back of your neck.
512
00:27:55,174 --> 00:27:59,838
This is the full emperor
now bursting forth as he always was.
513
00:28:00,470 --> 00:28:01,880
Um...
514
00:28:01,972 --> 00:28:06,181
And it's clear that although I have
the best makeup artist in the business,
515
00:28:06,268 --> 00:28:07,599
he doesn't.
516
00:28:07,686 --> 00:28:11,019
I hadn't seen him in his garb
till on the day, and it was awesome.
517
00:28:11,106 --> 00:28:13,563
The way it's described in the script
518
00:28:13,650 --> 00:28:17,643
is so creepy and so weird and unsettling.
519
00:28:17,738 --> 00:28:20,150
I just want to see LAN
be the emperor again.
520
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:21,855
I'm really excited about that.
521
00:28:21,950 --> 00:28:25,192
Look what you have made.
522
00:28:28,707 --> 00:28:30,993
The idea
that this is an ancient place,
523
00:28:32,252 --> 00:28:36,211
a place where maybe the sith really began
in the very beginning.
524
00:28:36,298 --> 00:28:38,914
The ideas are not just
coming from the script,
525
00:28:39,009 --> 00:28:42,922
there is a visualization process
that also invokes creating ideas.
526
00:28:43,013 --> 00:28:45,880
This feeling is so dramatic,
you know what I mean?
527
00:28:45,974 --> 00:28:48,932
This like tumultuous, stormy feeling.
528
00:28:49,019 --> 00:28:54,230
It would be great to talk to dom about
what methods we may be able to employ
529
00:28:54,316 --> 00:28:56,682
to create that sense
of it's a crazy storm,
530
00:28:56,777 --> 00:28:58,483
and just do it, you know, in camera.
531
00:28:58,570 --> 00:29:01,277
One thing j.J.
Was always impressing on me was
532
00:29:01,365 --> 00:29:03,276
the fact that Rey must feel small.
533
00:29:03,367 --> 00:29:06,359
We must feel like little people
in a massive world.
534
00:29:06,453 --> 00:29:08,944
The context of it is, "I'm under...
535
00:29:09,039 --> 00:29:12,702
- I'm an ant under the shoe of a giant."
- Right. Right.
536
00:29:12,793 --> 00:29:16,001
When we made these,
a man was going to be about that high.
537
00:29:16,338 --> 00:29:18,579
Now a man's going to be about that high.
538
00:29:18,674 --> 00:29:21,336
So these are absolutely giant.
539
00:29:25,013 --> 00:29:26,950
The thing that we're
talking about is if we cast someone,
540
00:29:26,974 --> 00:29:30,717
then we wanna see the mask
become something that's a choice.
541
00:29:31,478 --> 00:29:35,346
And so his putting it on,
it's almost oddly a vulnerability.
542
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,557
Putting on the mask
makes him feel more powerful.
543
00:29:38,652 --> 00:29:41,894
J.j. Wanted Kylo Ren to have the helmet,
544
00:29:41,989 --> 00:29:46,403
yet we had to address the fact
that he had destroyed it in episode viii.
545
00:29:46,493 --> 00:29:52,204
There's a technique that the Japanese use
when they have broken pottery,
546
00:29:52,291 --> 00:29:55,249
and they put it back together with gold.
547
00:29:56,044 --> 00:30:00,003
It's always very evident
that the piece was once broken.
548
00:30:00,549 --> 00:30:03,712
Rather than do the gold,
we did a bright red.
549
00:30:10,225 --> 00:30:12,716
It's really nice
to be killed by his lordship.
550
00:30:12,811 --> 00:30:15,598
You know, if you've got to go,
then that's the way to go.
551
00:30:15,689 --> 00:30:18,556
So, you'll be sitting, uh...
552
00:30:20,027 --> 00:30:20,937
Action.
553
00:30:21,028 --> 00:30:23,314
One of the background players
is none other than
554
00:30:23,405 --> 00:30:27,273
the granddaughter of sir Alec guinness,
Sally guinness, right here.
555
00:30:27,367 --> 00:30:28,197
Sally.
556
00:30:28,285 --> 00:30:29,285
Action.
557
00:30:30,203 --> 00:30:31,931
It's just very exciting to be here.
558
00:30:31,955 --> 00:30:32,819
Isn't it crazy?
559
00:30:32,914 --> 00:30:35,121
Yeah. I've gone to the dark side,
apparently.
560
00:30:35,792 --> 00:30:37,202
Isn't it sad what's happened?
561
00:30:38,045 --> 00:30:39,080
Rolling.
562
00:30:39,171 --> 00:30:42,288
- Rolling.
- Two, seventeen, take nine.
563
00:30:42,382 --> 00:30:47,467
- One second. And set.
- Go, background.
564
00:30:47,554 --> 00:30:48,554
Action!
565
00:30:49,264 --> 00:30:52,427
- Sir, we've just received news that...
- I see it. Send another battalion.
566
00:30:52,517 --> 00:30:57,227
This is a moment when things are
getting particularly bad for the bad guys.
567
00:30:57,314 --> 00:31:00,602
And so I wanted it to feel like
things were a bit out of control,
568
00:31:00,692 --> 00:31:04,105
but the idea is to kind of try and find
ways to keep the thing alive.
569
00:31:04,196 --> 00:31:07,279
It's not, like, an exercise
in how much can you do in one shot,
570
00:31:07,366 --> 00:31:12,281
it's the longer you can hold on something,
and watching it actually happen,
571
00:31:12,371 --> 00:31:13,611
the more exciting it is.
572
00:31:14,247 --> 00:31:16,238
- Cut! Beautiful. Great job.
- Cutting.
573
00:31:16,333 --> 00:31:19,245
And then it ends with a close-up
on our friend, Richard e. Grant.
574
00:31:19,336 --> 00:31:21,042
You know,
you can't do wrong with that guy.
575
00:31:21,129 --> 00:31:22,164
Action.
576
00:31:22,923 --> 00:31:26,290
We recovered the scavenger's ship,
but she got away.
577
00:31:26,385 --> 00:31:29,377
For a star wars geek,
this is a dream job come true.
578
00:31:29,930 --> 00:31:33,297
You feel like a kid in here, and I've seen
other crew members do this as well.
579
00:31:33,392 --> 00:31:36,509
Even though you know it's switches
and buttons, and it doesn't work,
580
00:31:36,603 --> 00:31:41,222
this impulse to just go up
and press things is very strong.
581
00:31:41,316 --> 00:31:43,196
It's like being a kid in a sweet shop.
582
00:31:43,276 --> 00:31:45,396
I mean, there are
some pretty big-name actors in this.
583
00:31:45,445 --> 00:31:48,152
And they all feel the same way.
We're all like, "yes!"
584
00:31:54,538 --> 00:31:56,458
I've said to j.J., "can you just pinch me
585
00:31:56,498 --> 00:31:58,534
to know that I'm actually here today?"
586
00:32:02,337 --> 00:32:05,829
So that's my feeling about it,
undisguised delight.
587
00:32:08,677 --> 00:32:10,508
Because domhnall's such a good guy,
588
00:32:10,595 --> 00:32:14,588
it was extremely enjoyable
to pull status on him.
589
00:32:14,683 --> 00:32:17,643
I have the very great pleasure of being
shown the door by Richard e. Grant,
590
00:32:17,686 --> 00:32:18,516
which is lovely.
591
00:32:18,603 --> 00:32:22,266
It wouldn't be so bad to make sure
that when we shoot...
592
00:32:25,318 --> 00:32:29,857
To have a star wars gun
to take out general hux
593
00:32:29,948 --> 00:32:33,065
was an extraordinarily
pleasurable thing to do.
594
00:32:36,955 --> 00:32:38,445
Tell him we found our spy.
595
00:32:39,833 --> 00:32:40,833
B Mark.
596
00:32:42,752 --> 00:32:44,367
Bang, bang, bang!
597
00:32:45,005 --> 00:32:46,885
The other two I enjoyed
while I was making them,
598
00:32:46,923 --> 00:32:50,165
but there was the stress of
the first time of it being the first time,
599
00:32:50,260 --> 00:32:52,626
and then the second time
of everything being different.
600
00:32:52,721 --> 00:32:54,677
And this time it's really nice
just to kind of
601
00:32:54,764 --> 00:32:57,096
allow yourself to sit back
and look around a little bit
602
00:32:57,184 --> 00:33:00,176
and remember how amazing it is
to actually be in star wars.
603
00:33:00,270 --> 00:33:02,832
The more emphatic you say yes,
the funnier, I think, it should be.
604
00:33:02,856 --> 00:33:04,596
I'm the spy.
605
00:33:04,691 --> 00:33:07,774
- What? You?
- Yes.
606
00:33:08,445 --> 00:33:10,436
Hang on. Yes.
607
00:33:10,530 --> 00:33:12,316
Back to one.
608
00:33:12,407 --> 00:33:15,023
You?
Yes. We don't have much time.
609
00:33:16,119 --> 00:33:18,839
Yes, we don't have much time.
Yes, yes, yes, we don't have much time.
610
00:33:18,914 --> 00:33:20,654
Yes, we don't have much time.
611
00:33:21,208 --> 00:33:23,073
That last one was good.
612
00:33:23,168 --> 00:33:24,829
Cut. Great job, thank you.
613
00:33:26,129 --> 00:33:28,666
Well, I think myself and
Richard had competitions
614
00:33:28,757 --> 00:33:30,543
to see who could forget their line first.
615
00:33:30,634 --> 00:33:33,196
They overpowered the guards and
forced me to take them through their ship.
616
00:33:33,220 --> 00:33:35,336
I that up. I it up.
617
00:33:35,430 --> 00:33:37,011
It was a co... ah...
618
00:33:37,098 --> 00:33:38,701
What is it? Sorry, what's his name again?
619
00:33:38,725 --> 00:33:39,827
Allegiant general pryde.
620
00:33:39,851 --> 00:33:42,934
It was a coordinated incurment,
allegiant pryde.
621
00:33:43,021 --> 00:33:46,058
Jeez, I said pryde now.
622
00:33:46,149 --> 00:33:47,855
- This is what happens.
- Cut.
623
00:33:47,943 --> 00:33:51,902
At one point I did have
to shamelessly request of the director,
624
00:33:51,988 --> 00:33:56,982
could they please write this one sentence
that kept jamming in my brain
625
00:33:57,077 --> 00:33:59,614
on a piece of card
so that I could at least look at it.
626
00:33:59,704 --> 00:34:02,320
No, alderaan is peaceful,
we have no weapons. You can't...
627
00:34:02,415 --> 00:34:05,907
You would prefer another target?
A military target? Then name the...
628
00:34:06,002 --> 00:34:08,664
The... name it. Now!
629
00:34:08,755 --> 00:34:11,371
A lot of times it has impossible
dialogue to say.
630
00:34:11,466 --> 00:34:12,751
You can type it.
631
00:34:12,842 --> 00:34:15,959
Like Harrison says, you can type it fine,
there's no way to say it.
632
00:34:19,057 --> 00:34:21,048
Blah... blah...
633
00:34:23,103 --> 00:34:26,812
The actual production is shot in england,
and also star wars,
634
00:34:26,898 --> 00:34:32,188
by the nature of the exotic environments
that we deal with,
635
00:34:32,279 --> 00:34:34,941
we sort of travel all around the globe
636
00:34:35,699 --> 00:34:40,784
and have things going on
on various continents, actually.
637
00:34:53,091 --> 00:34:55,673
- You can name them.
- One and two.
638
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:59,218
Evangeline and livonne.
639
00:35:00,890 --> 00:35:02,721
There are no roads here.
640
00:35:03,977 --> 00:35:06,935
There's no facilities,
there's no bathrooms, there's no power.
641
00:35:07,022 --> 00:35:10,640
We will have to play a little
because their eyes are magical,
642
00:35:10,734 --> 00:35:12,654
and I don't want to lose
their eyes in a profile.
643
00:35:14,237 --> 00:35:17,946
There's no food,
there's no potable, drinkable water.
644
00:35:20,076 --> 00:35:23,694
When they go to look this way,
this one will come this way, we'll lose...
645
00:35:23,788 --> 00:35:25,266
- This one could track over to here...
- Yes. Exactly.
646
00:35:25,290 --> 00:35:27,476
- I see this one's eyeball the whole time.
- He could be watching him.
647
00:35:27,500 --> 00:35:29,687
So maybe that way a little bit like that,
we see him in profile.
648
00:35:29,711 --> 00:35:31,201
No Wi-Fi, no Internet.
649
00:35:33,131 --> 00:35:34,131
There's none of that.
650
00:35:35,258 --> 00:35:36,944
As soon as we're good
in this field, ladies and gents,
651
00:35:36,968 --> 00:35:38,378
stand by to shoot please.
652
00:35:38,470 --> 00:35:41,633
There are no buildings here,
there's nothing to age where we are.
653
00:35:45,185 --> 00:35:46,516
It's timeless.
654
00:35:47,270 --> 00:35:50,728
The wadi rum desert was just epic.
655
00:35:50,815 --> 00:35:54,057
The vastness of the place
already feels like an alien world.
656
00:35:57,197 --> 00:35:58,507
I always like going on location.
657
00:35:58,531 --> 00:36:01,773
It gives much more of a real gravity
to the scene, I understand it more.
658
00:36:01,868 --> 00:36:03,984
I feel like I'm really in the environment.
659
00:36:06,706 --> 00:36:08,742
It feels like a proper journey.
660
00:36:09,459 --> 00:36:12,417
We were in the desert for the first one
at the very beginning,
661
00:36:12,504 --> 00:36:13,994
and now we're here for the last one.
662
00:36:17,467 --> 00:36:19,549
It wasn't the first desert I'd been in.
663
00:36:19,636 --> 00:36:23,845
I'd been in star wars since day one
out in Tunisia in 1976.
664
00:36:25,517 --> 00:36:27,678
Sand dunes and all that.
665
00:36:28,061 --> 00:36:31,804
This was the desert in Jordan
that Ralph mcquarrie must have had in mind
666
00:36:31,898 --> 00:36:34,640
when he'd painted
that original picture of threepio.
667
00:36:36,111 --> 00:36:40,946
These strange craggy shapes
with a kind of miasma of sand below them,
668
00:36:41,032 --> 00:36:43,398
so the whole thing
kind of melted into one.
669
00:36:43,493 --> 00:36:45,324
It... it was heart-turning.
670
00:36:48,123 --> 00:36:50,739
In a way, it was like
threepio coming home.
671
00:36:56,256 --> 00:36:57,541
Okay.
672
00:36:59,342 --> 00:37:00,206
Am I in here?
673
00:37:00,301 --> 00:37:03,885
No one understands threepio
at this point better than Anthony.
674
00:37:03,972 --> 00:37:06,133
Oh, yeah. Aw. “Aw.
675
00:37:06,224 --> 00:37:07,885
I visited Anthony at home,
676
00:37:07,976 --> 00:37:13,141
and he showed me some of
the dialogue looping notes from star wars,
677
00:37:13,231 --> 00:37:15,517
the first star wars,
and from the empire strikes back.
678
00:37:15,608 --> 00:37:17,314
So, there are handwritten sheets that say,
679
00:37:17,402 --> 00:37:19,518
"I'm not going that way,
it's much too rocky."
680
00:37:19,612 --> 00:37:22,570
Or the moment in empire strikes back
where he says,
681
00:37:22,657 --> 00:37:27,026
"the chances of successfully navigating
an asteroid field are 3,720-1."
682
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:28,610
But in the original, it had said,
683
00:37:28,705 --> 00:37:33,699
"the chances of successfully navigating
an asteroid field are 3,725-1."
684
00:37:33,793 --> 00:37:36,956
And he changed it and got rid of the five
because the rhythm was better.
685
00:37:37,046 --> 00:37:39,253
- Yeah.
- The way that it ended up in the film.
686
00:37:39,340 --> 00:37:42,127
You know, on the other shot, uh,
when I say to r2, you know,
687
00:37:42,218 --> 00:37:43,424
- "come on. Let's go."?
- Yeah.
688
00:37:43,511 --> 00:37:44,967
I've already seen them,
689
00:37:45,054 --> 00:37:47,670
so they ought to be kind of
in the doorway.
690
00:37:47,766 --> 00:37:50,724
- Yeah.
- I don't know how you're gonna cut it.
691
00:37:50,810 --> 00:37:54,018
- That whole lineup is a little tricky.
- Just throw it all away.
692
00:37:54,564 --> 00:37:55,929
Cut me out of this, mate.
693
00:37:56,649 --> 00:38:00,608
He has a way of tilting his head
or raising it back that's...
694
00:38:00,695 --> 00:38:01,901
You... it just...
695
00:38:02,739 --> 00:38:05,321
It says more
probably than a person would do.
696
00:38:05,784 --> 00:38:08,025
The face itself has no expression.
697
00:38:08,119 --> 00:38:10,952
But I find working with Tony Daniels,
who plays the part,
698
00:38:11,790 --> 00:38:13,997
you read expressions into that face.
699
00:38:14,083 --> 00:38:17,246
To me, he has an incredibly mobile face.
700
00:38:17,337 --> 00:38:21,250
He looks quizzical, he's, uh...
You know when he's in danger...
701
00:38:21,341 --> 00:38:24,629
I can't stop myself making all the faces
702
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:26,505
and smiling or frowning, looking worried.
703
00:38:26,596 --> 00:38:29,679
Even though I'm way behind something,
nobody can see what I'm doing,
704
00:38:29,766 --> 00:38:32,303
but for myself, I'm doing all the actions.
705
00:38:32,393 --> 00:38:35,635
And people come up and they take the face,
and they say, "I'll try this on,"
706
00:38:35,730 --> 00:38:37,812
and they put it on,
and they take it off again,
707
00:38:37,899 --> 00:38:39,855
'cause they can't bear it, you know?
708
00:38:39,943 --> 00:38:42,588
I don't know, there's something
wrong with me that I can put up with it.
709
00:38:42,612 --> 00:38:45,524
What do you think?
Would you put your head in there?
710
00:38:45,615 --> 00:38:46,615
Neither would I.
711
00:38:46,699 --> 00:38:49,987
I rather love threepio.
I think he's a nice guy.
712
00:38:50,078 --> 00:38:55,038
I think he gets a rough time,
but that's part of the magic of it.
713
00:38:55,124 --> 00:38:56,910
I remember at our cast dinner,
714
00:38:57,001 --> 00:38:59,117
where everyone
had started reading the script
715
00:38:59,212 --> 00:39:00,827
and Anthony hadn't read it yet.
716
00:39:00,922 --> 00:39:05,632
So he kept hearing from everybody, "oh,
my god, threepio's role in this film..."
717
00:39:08,388 --> 00:39:11,596
Suddenly threepio
was part of the team again.
718
00:39:11,683 --> 00:39:16,803
Not since really the very first film
had threepio lived such a full life.
719
00:39:16,896 --> 00:39:20,184
It's been gratifying to give Anthony
a role that was bigger,
720
00:39:20,275 --> 00:39:22,436
and to really let him go along
on the adventure,
721
00:39:22,527 --> 00:39:25,189
'cause he has been along on the adventure
since the beginning.
722
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,238
- I made it.
- Thank you, thank you.
723
00:39:41,004 --> 00:39:43,962
We started shooting the festival
of ancestors, which is truly insane.
724
00:39:44,048 --> 00:39:46,164
I've never seen anything like this before.
725
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:52,383
And the amazing thing is, that's literally
the line in the movie that Rey says.
726
00:39:53,474 --> 00:39:55,953
When you think about
Rey's journey through these films,
727
00:39:55,977 --> 00:39:58,059
she hasn't seen a lot of joy.
728
00:39:58,146 --> 00:40:01,889
She has only seen the hardship
of growing up as an orphan,
729
00:40:01,983 --> 00:40:03,063
and then she's seen war.
730
00:40:06,779 --> 00:40:12,445
And the point of pasaana, the world
that we discovered and created in Jordan,
731
00:40:12,535 --> 00:40:16,904
is for her to see celebration
and abundant joy.
732
00:40:24,839 --> 00:40:27,251
But if you bend over and do this,
you keep your arms long,
733
00:40:27,342 --> 00:40:30,505
I start to not quite understand
what the body shape...
734
00:40:30,595 --> 00:40:31,710
You know what I'm saying?
735
00:40:31,804 --> 00:40:33,616
So if you guys wouldn't mind
all just bending your knees
736
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,929
and keeping your arms long, you know,
and maybe move your head forward a bit.
737
00:40:38,019 --> 00:40:39,099
Yeah, that's kind of cool.
738
00:40:39,187 --> 00:40:44,352
Maybe if we did have some prosthetic legs
to kind of see, for a couple hero ones.
739
00:40:44,442 --> 00:40:46,899
- Yeah.
- And the legs weren't so...
740
00:40:46,986 --> 00:40:48,567
Just human legs with stockings,
741
00:40:48,655 --> 00:40:51,488
- but like we change the anatomy a bit.
- Yeah.
742
00:40:51,574 --> 00:40:52,614
That could be interesting.
743
00:40:52,659 --> 00:40:55,617
If you saw one or two,
you'd be like, I get all of them.
744
00:40:57,997 --> 00:41:01,205
There's a few lines in the
script that hint at what this might be,
745
00:41:01,292 --> 00:41:03,312
and then when we begin,
obviously, talking with j.J.,
746
00:41:03,336 --> 00:41:05,076
or we begin sketching ideas out
747
00:41:05,171 --> 00:41:07,662
and coming up with something that's,
you know,
748
00:41:07,757 --> 00:41:12,376
feels like it may be a desert creature
that doesn't feel misplaced here.
749
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:15,671
Baby rhinos, things like elephants,
750
00:41:15,765 --> 00:41:18,882
all these things are quite good places to,
quite good creatures to look at.
751
00:41:21,771 --> 00:41:24,012
And obviously,
with Michael kaplan in costume,
752
00:41:24,107 --> 00:41:25,722
when Michael starts to engage them,
753
00:41:25,817 --> 00:41:28,229
the shape becomes
a little bit more understandable.
754
00:41:31,072 --> 00:41:34,280
Each one really requires a lot of fabric.
755
00:41:34,367 --> 00:41:36,904
And so, it was finding
the correct fabrics.
756
00:41:36,995 --> 00:41:39,452
We had to make a lot of trips
to different countries
757
00:41:39,539 --> 00:41:41,200
just to find the quantities we needed.
758
00:41:42,291 --> 00:41:44,907
We found a lot of fabrics in Italy,
outside Florence,
759
00:41:45,003 --> 00:41:46,959
in these massive warehouses.
760
00:41:47,964 --> 00:41:50,421
The most amazing thing about them
is just the sheer volume.
761
00:41:50,508 --> 00:41:56,299
We were given the daunting task
of casting 450 creatures, akis.
762
00:41:56,389 --> 00:41:58,033
We were talking about
how could we achieve this.
763
00:41:58,057 --> 00:42:00,844
Obviously we couldn't fly everybody in
and hotel them.
764
00:42:00,935 --> 00:42:03,622
There wouldn't be enough hotels,
there wouldn't be enough infrastructure.
765
00:42:03,646 --> 00:42:07,184
So the idea was
working with the Jordanian soldiers
766
00:42:07,275 --> 00:42:09,391
and local Jordanian people here as well.
767
00:42:09,485 --> 00:42:12,477
The first part of today
will be learning the ritual dance.
768
00:42:12,572 --> 00:42:15,939
Left, right, left.
769
00:42:16,451 --> 00:42:19,363
- Make a noise.
- Oonh.
770
00:42:19,454 --> 00:42:21,365
Five, six, seven, eight.
771
00:42:27,462 --> 00:42:28,497
Again.
772
00:42:28,588 --> 00:42:30,203
They just became so involved.
773
00:42:30,298 --> 00:42:32,960
Five, six. Here we go. One.
774
00:42:33,051 --> 00:42:36,794
They got into it
and all of a sudden I started to see it,
775
00:42:36,888 --> 00:42:40,176
how it's going to be in weeks to come,
after the boot camp week.
776
00:42:40,892 --> 00:42:42,302
Again.
777
00:42:42,393 --> 00:42:43,849
And then obviously filming.
778
00:42:44,479 --> 00:42:48,438
Here we go. Five, six. Here we go. One.
779
00:42:48,524 --> 00:42:51,106
J.j. Did come along,
and his feedback was great.
780
00:42:51,194 --> 00:42:52,525
He absolutely loved it.
781
00:43:05,500 --> 00:43:09,539
So, take ten minutes,
get yourself a drink, have a breather.
782
00:43:09,629 --> 00:43:10,960
We'll all come back.
783
00:43:11,047 --> 00:43:12,662
You know, talking to the performers,
784
00:43:12,757 --> 00:43:15,339
for a lot of them, they've never done
this type of work before.
785
00:43:16,177 --> 00:43:18,964
It's the first time for them,
and they're excited.
786
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:24,883
I felt awesome.
I felt like a real alien. A real aki-aki.
787
00:43:24,977 --> 00:43:26,842
The more I'm in it,
the more fun it becomes.
788
00:43:26,938 --> 00:43:28,599
And I'm having, like, the best time.
789
00:43:28,689 --> 00:43:30,475
It's really beautiful.
790
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:32,981
Thank you, thank you.
791
00:43:33,069 --> 00:43:36,215
That's the main thing, they're excited,
they're into it, and they want to do it.
792
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,355
And that's all I could ask, so it's great.
793
00:43:38,449 --> 00:43:41,657
And then
we're gonna put it over Rob's head.
794
00:43:43,871 --> 00:43:46,362
And that was another army of people
that were involved in that,
795
00:43:46,457 --> 00:43:47,947
just to get the creatures ready.
796
00:43:48,793 --> 00:43:50,909
Normally we're used to one-on-one,
797
00:43:51,003 --> 00:43:52,923
or you have sort of
two or three people to dress.
798
00:43:52,964 --> 00:43:56,047
And, this is sort of
so constant for the two hours
799
00:43:56,134 --> 00:43:57,820
that you've really
got to push them through.
800
00:43:57,844 --> 00:44:00,506
All right,
we're just plugging you in, Calvin.
801
00:44:00,596 --> 00:44:03,212
To get all those aliens
on that set, on time,
802
00:44:03,307 --> 00:44:05,514
and to have them trained,
and be dancing...
803
00:44:05,601 --> 00:44:08,513
- Is that all right?
- You okay? Perfect.
804
00:44:08,604 --> 00:44:10,344
That was pretty remarkable, I thought.
805
00:44:12,817 --> 00:44:16,150
We first came here
in April, and there was nothing here.
806
00:44:16,237 --> 00:44:21,197
We scanned this whole area and ilm
helped put together a virtual version
807
00:44:21,284 --> 00:44:25,027
so that j.J. Could walk around
with the headset back in the uk.
808
00:44:25,121 --> 00:44:28,955
Set dec designed all the tents,
and now it's October.
809
00:44:29,041 --> 00:44:31,999
We've been here six weeks,
putting this up.
810
00:44:32,086 --> 00:44:35,419
So then to have the tents here,
and everyone in it,
811
00:44:35,506 --> 00:44:38,623
is quite special
and we're excited to get filming.
812
00:44:44,015 --> 00:44:45,846
We're gonna move you over this way.
813
00:44:45,933 --> 00:44:47,389
I can't believe what we're doing.
814
00:44:47,476 --> 00:44:50,434
I know who you are.
815
00:44:50,521 --> 00:44:53,513
We're basically bringing the most insane,
massive puppet show to Jordan.
816
00:44:53,608 --> 00:44:54,893
The head shake is amazing.
817
00:44:54,984 --> 00:44:56,795
A little bit more shake, Liam.
On the head shake.
818
00:44:56,819 --> 00:44:58,775
- I hope it works.
- That is so good.
819
00:44:58,863 --> 00:45:01,696
It was a little bit like
putting on a big show event.
820
00:45:05,203 --> 00:45:06,693
It didn't feel like filmmaking,
821
00:45:06,787 --> 00:45:09,779
it felt like something much more carnival
about the whole thing.
822
00:45:11,083 --> 00:45:13,620
I must say
I'm very proud of all our crowd.
823
00:45:13,711 --> 00:45:15,992
And they're being very patient,
it's a very hot day today.
824
00:45:18,007 --> 00:45:20,089
I've never seen anything like this.
825
00:45:20,176 --> 00:45:22,041
I've never seen so few wayfinders.
826
00:45:22,595 --> 00:45:26,053
The enthusiasm and joy
that they have brought to it,
827
00:45:26,140 --> 00:45:27,926
and commitment, is extraordinary.
828
00:45:28,017 --> 00:45:31,430
Shukran. Shukran. Amazing. Amazing.
829
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,333
I've got to kind of keep my cool
and stay professional about it,
830
00:45:34,357 --> 00:45:36,598
but working with j.J. Has been amazing.
831
00:45:42,865 --> 00:45:45,231
We also did
some little aki children as well,
832
00:45:45,326 --> 00:45:46,782
which have a little part to play,
833
00:45:46,869 --> 00:45:49,139
and that was very sweet,
because they were all hand puppets
834
00:45:49,163 --> 00:45:53,827
and we literally dug a trench
and put nearly 30 puppeteers beneath them.
835
00:45:53,918 --> 00:45:57,160
It's a three-person puppet, each one,
and we've got 14.
836
00:45:57,255 --> 00:46:00,463
So there's quite a lot of us
underneath the floor here.
837
00:46:00,549 --> 00:46:03,189
So they do a sweep for scorpions
first thing in the morning
838
00:46:03,261 --> 00:46:05,547
before we get down here
and scare them all away.
839
00:46:05,638 --> 00:46:08,721
We did see some scorpion tracks
in the sand the other day,
840
00:46:08,808 --> 00:46:10,298
so that was quite exciting.
841
00:46:12,228 --> 00:46:17,348
You're actually seeing a kind of version
of the world of star wars in one area.
842
00:46:18,359 --> 00:46:22,193
What you're seeing is a galaxy
that is worth fighting for.
843
00:46:22,655 --> 00:46:24,941
You got the gun there,
like that, you're training it.
844
00:46:27,493 --> 00:46:29,825
You just literally relax
and let it all go.
845
00:46:30,329 --> 00:46:32,911
I was shot by Chewbacca
in the force awakens.
846
00:46:34,166 --> 00:46:35,166
Hey.
847
00:46:36,794 --> 00:46:39,080
And now you're going to be shot by?
848
00:46:39,171 --> 00:46:41,708
Lando calrissian, I've been told.
I don't know if that's true.
849
00:46:41,799 --> 00:46:44,131
- Just imagine that the second here.
- Yeah.
850
00:46:44,218 --> 00:46:46,550
- Now the lights are out.
- I got it. Yeah.
851
00:46:47,221 --> 00:46:48,381
I hope that that's true.
852
00:46:48,472 --> 00:46:50,575
I sort of gradually work my way
through the entire cast,
853
00:46:50,599 --> 00:46:51,660
maybe everyone can have a go.
854
00:46:51,684 --> 00:46:52,684
Action.
855
00:46:55,313 --> 00:46:56,473
- Pretty good?
- Yeah.
856
00:46:57,106 --> 00:46:58,437
No worries, I'll be all right.
857
00:46:58,524 --> 00:46:59,980
- That was pretty good.
- Okay, good.
858
00:47:00,067 --> 00:47:01,807
All right. So if I can just do that...
859
00:47:01,902 --> 00:47:05,895
The stormtroopers have discovered us,
and we have to run away.
860
00:47:05,990 --> 00:47:08,447
Easier said than done in my case,
of course.
861
00:47:17,752 --> 00:47:19,208
We've got a ton to do.
862
00:47:19,295 --> 00:47:22,537
We had a 20-day schedule.
We decided to make it a 16-day schedule.
863
00:47:22,631 --> 00:47:26,044
The work hasn't changed
that significantly, so it's not easier.
864
00:47:26,135 --> 00:47:29,593
You see all different departments
working really hard
865
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:32,342
in what can be
some really quite challenging conditions.
866
00:47:33,726 --> 00:47:36,183
Well, it's, uh, quite dusty.
867
00:47:37,188 --> 00:47:38,803
Hot, hot, hot.
868
00:47:38,898 --> 00:47:42,061
And then, you know,
you have your occasional dust.
869
00:47:42,151 --> 00:47:44,142
It's quite hard to work in a desert.
870
00:47:44,236 --> 00:47:45,726
Everything takes a little bit longer.
871
00:47:45,821 --> 00:47:48,528
That pesky sand and the wind
get in the way.
872
00:47:49,241 --> 00:47:51,732
My name is Ali,
this is my first production.
873
00:47:52,453 --> 00:47:55,536
And I just want to see Chewbacca, man.
Chewbacca holler at me.
874
00:47:55,623 --> 00:47:57,909
I love you. I love you.
875
00:47:59,919 --> 00:48:02,456
Ladies and gentlemen, joonas.
Give it up for joonas.
876
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:09,466
Chewbacca's my hero.
877
00:48:09,553 --> 00:48:11,168
This is amazing.
878
00:48:20,356 --> 00:48:22,116
Our bad boys end up going that way.
879
00:48:22,191 --> 00:48:25,729
It's an amazing exercise
to do second unit, I gotta say.
880
00:48:29,615 --> 00:48:32,197
Attack it.
Attack it as it changes, be malleable.
881
00:48:35,287 --> 00:48:38,745
We're doing a really exciting explosion,
where we have three cameras.
882
00:48:41,168 --> 00:48:43,409
Here we go then, guys. We're shooting.
883
00:48:43,504 --> 00:48:45,244
You only get one chance to get it right.
884
00:48:55,558 --> 00:48:59,176
I don't think there's one person here that
would want to be anywhere else right now.
885
00:49:00,354 --> 00:49:01,434
I'm pretty sure.
886
00:49:08,904 --> 00:49:11,441
And three, two, one. Bang.
887
00:49:16,203 --> 00:49:20,663
We are here to safely drown the heroes
in sinking sand
888
00:49:20,749 --> 00:49:22,865
without scaring them or injuring anybody.
889
00:49:27,131 --> 00:49:29,417
We dug out... you see this huge hole.
890
00:49:29,508 --> 00:49:33,342
Got a crane in,
load in all these containers.
891
00:49:34,805 --> 00:49:36,511
And thanks to the local army,
892
00:49:36,599 --> 00:49:39,341
because they've provided the digger
and the labor to do that.
893
00:49:49,737 --> 00:49:51,352
So there's various rigs involved,
894
00:49:51,447 --> 00:49:54,314
one of which we can literally
drag them all the way under
895
00:49:54,408 --> 00:49:57,241
so they're completely covered
in the material.
896
00:50:00,915 --> 00:50:03,748
Or there's a couple of rigs
where Daisy Ridley in particular,
897
00:50:03,834 --> 00:50:07,918
she can crawl through the beans
to get to Chewbacca.
898
00:50:08,005 --> 00:50:11,748
She stands here, and she sinks down
899
00:50:11,842 --> 00:50:14,128
through the sand as she's moving forward.
900
00:50:14,220 --> 00:50:16,802
So, we're using
a combination of materials.
901
00:50:16,889 --> 00:50:18,345
Like, this is one of them.
902
00:50:18,432 --> 00:50:22,846
We're using black beans
in order to simulate black sand,
903
00:50:22,937 --> 00:50:24,617
'cause they're much easier
to push through.
904
00:50:26,941 --> 00:50:28,772
One, two, three, four, five. Ah.
905
00:50:28,859 --> 00:50:32,317
It's easy to find the set
because it's all the black sand here.
906
00:50:32,863 --> 00:50:34,228
Black beans, no one goes in it.
907
00:50:34,323 --> 00:50:37,235
Okay? Apart from the effects team,
and the stunt team.
908
00:50:37,326 --> 00:50:39,863
There's very detailed protocols
909
00:50:39,954 --> 00:50:42,616
that Dominic has
for how we look out for the actors.
910
00:50:45,876 --> 00:50:49,835
- What the hell is this?
- Sinking fields, try to grab something.
911
00:50:49,922 --> 00:50:51,882
The beans would just come and cover us up.
912
00:50:51,966 --> 00:50:54,861
And you'd have to kind of hold your breath
for a little bit, until they said, "cut,"
913
00:50:54,885 --> 00:50:57,627
and then they would lift them back up
and you'd breathe again.
914
00:50:57,721 --> 00:50:59,427
And that was a little freaky sometimes.
915
00:50:59,932 --> 00:51:02,799
Bye, John.
916
00:51:03,894 --> 00:51:04,894
I liked him.
917
00:51:07,439 --> 00:51:11,398
One, two, three, four, five,
918
00:51:11,485 --> 00:51:15,569
six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
919
00:51:19,410 --> 00:51:20,970
- Well done, man.
- Well done.
920
00:51:27,167 --> 00:51:28,577
I get a bit claustrophobic.
921
00:51:30,796 --> 00:51:33,003
I remember coming through the first time,
922
00:51:33,882 --> 00:51:37,841
and you sort of have to hold your breath,
and, like, panicking.
923
00:51:37,928 --> 00:51:39,793
I got stuck in the air bubble.
924
00:51:39,888 --> 00:51:42,846
And we're good. Great work.
925
00:51:42,933 --> 00:51:45,970
I think people were
sort of joking about it, but I really...
926
00:51:46,061 --> 00:51:47,597
It was...
927
00:51:47,688 --> 00:51:49,519
Oh, it was, yeah, awful.
928
00:51:49,607 --> 00:51:51,472
Rey!
929
00:51:51,567 --> 00:51:55,310
Look, I never told you...
“What? No. No.
930
00:51:55,404 --> 00:51:56,610
And cut. Beautiful job.
931
00:51:56,697 --> 00:51:59,939
And it looks amazing, but it was awful.
932
00:52:05,205 --> 00:52:06,866
You go into a sort of quicksand,
933
00:52:06,957 --> 00:52:09,699
but then you end up
at the underside of the quicksand,
934
00:52:10,544 --> 00:52:12,409
which is something j.J.'S
always wanted to do.
935
00:52:12,504 --> 00:52:13,619
What's underneath all that?
936
00:52:13,714 --> 00:52:15,170
This is so good.
937
00:52:15,257 --> 00:52:18,715
This is like the thing when you're a kid,
and you don't quite know where it goes.
938
00:52:18,802 --> 00:52:20,113
It feels like it goes on forever.
939
00:52:20,137 --> 00:52:21,323
And then essentially,
940
00:52:21,347 --> 00:52:23,467
as you always are
whenever you do something like that,
941
00:52:23,557 --> 00:52:25,093
you're in the subconscious.
942
00:52:27,895 --> 00:52:28,975
Now you learn things.
943
00:52:29,063 --> 00:52:32,021
What do you learn?
You learn what happened to her parents.
944
00:52:36,779 --> 00:52:39,145
You learn about her ability to heal...
945
00:52:42,743 --> 00:52:45,735
Even when faced with something
that could be perceived as threatening.
946
00:52:48,999 --> 00:52:52,742
And you look and there's a snake.
A giant snake, a huge scary giant snake.
947
00:52:52,836 --> 00:52:54,292
Oh, my god, and it goes up!
948
00:52:54,380 --> 00:52:56,871
And, Anthony.
949
00:52:56,965 --> 00:53:02,210
There are so many new characters
and situations and effects.
950
00:53:02,304 --> 00:53:05,137
I thought they would have used them all up
on the first star wars.
951
00:53:05,224 --> 00:53:06,964
And you know, I arrive in the studio
952
00:53:07,059 --> 00:53:10,176
and there's something quite magical to see
and some new monster.
953
00:53:10,270 --> 00:53:13,808
I saw one today.
A great sort of splodge thing.
954
00:53:13,899 --> 00:53:17,892
And it was great fun to act with all that,
and it's very stimulating.
955
00:53:25,911 --> 00:53:29,244
I couldn't believe what
the creature department had come up with.
956
00:53:29,331 --> 00:53:32,823
The most wonderful piece of engineering
and puppetry,
957
00:53:32,918 --> 00:53:37,332
because various members of the team
were coiled inside the coils
958
00:53:37,423 --> 00:53:39,630
and sort of rolling it and slithering it.
959
00:53:39,717 --> 00:53:43,084
And at the back somebody's
got this main arm, you know,
960
00:53:43,178 --> 00:53:45,134
and the face is coming at you,
you know?
961
00:53:49,101 --> 00:53:51,843
Swing left. And right.
962
00:53:51,937 --> 00:53:54,349
Being, like, a big multi-person puppet,
963
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:57,398
we all have to work
in synchronization with each other,
964
00:53:57,484 --> 00:54:00,692
and if one of us is out of time,
it kind of throws the whole thing off
965
00:54:00,779 --> 00:54:03,111
and it can look a little bit clunky.
966
00:54:03,198 --> 00:54:05,655
So, yeah, we all have
to kind of tune in to each other,
967
00:54:05,743 --> 00:54:06,823
and really feel it.
968
00:54:18,380 --> 00:54:20,917
This is my favorite part.
969
00:54:21,008 --> 00:54:23,590
We wanted to have something
for the actors to react to.
970
00:54:23,677 --> 00:54:28,592
So they had a pretty impressive
stand-in version of that creature.
971
00:54:28,682 --> 00:54:32,846
That creates a much more immediate
performance for j.J. To watch and look at.
972
00:54:32,936 --> 00:54:36,053
And can the snake in that position
come back any more?
973
00:54:36,148 --> 00:54:39,311
There's some shots where, you know,
you could still use the puppet,
974
00:54:39,401 --> 00:54:43,610
but for the most part we basically
replaced it with a cg version of it.
975
00:54:43,697 --> 00:54:45,779
Now, get really low down. Good.
976
00:54:47,910 --> 00:54:49,571
Really low down.
977
00:54:54,541 --> 00:54:57,624
You can sort of be like...
It's sort of taking something out of you,
978
00:54:57,711 --> 00:55:01,624
but you're kind of focused on it.
And then it could do the inhale.
979
00:55:06,512 --> 00:55:07,627
And cut. Good job.
980
00:55:10,390 --> 00:55:13,703
- I'll tell you what, weirdly...
- I felt such a connection with the snake.
981
00:55:13,727 --> 00:55:15,558
- I'm not joking. Are you kidding?
- No.
982
00:55:15,646 --> 00:55:17,832
'Cause I totally did at the end
when you were healing it...
983
00:55:17,856 --> 00:55:18,720
That's amazing.
984
00:55:18,816 --> 00:55:20,376
That's what acting's all about.
985
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:23,016
You can't sort of go home and rehearse
986
00:55:23,111 --> 00:55:26,695
your reaction to a 9-foot ice monster
breaking through a wall, you know?
987
00:55:26,782 --> 00:55:30,024
You just have to go on the day
and see what happens.
988
00:55:30,118 --> 00:55:32,780
But, uh, it's never dull.
989
00:55:36,583 --> 00:55:37,789
What?
990
00:55:38,502 --> 00:55:39,787
I'll be right behind you.
991
00:55:42,130 --> 00:55:43,130
It's fine.
992
00:55:46,927 --> 00:55:51,387
What if your sort of soul mate
in the force was your enemy?
993
00:55:52,891 --> 00:55:55,883
As she's walking out,
we'll sort of arm out as we're extending.
994
00:55:55,978 --> 00:55:58,469
Circumstance pits them against each other,
995
00:55:58,564 --> 00:56:00,054
but the force bonds them together.
996
00:56:00,148 --> 00:56:02,685
You'll walk out, basically,
maybe this direction.
997
00:56:04,403 --> 00:56:06,297
- And the saber is in your hand here.
- Here you go.
998
00:56:06,321 --> 00:56:08,482
So, try the other...
Turn the other way please.
999
00:56:09,950 --> 00:56:11,094
That's actually probably better.
1000
00:56:11,118 --> 00:56:12,804
Because that way
I get the saber coming across camera,
1001
00:56:12,828 --> 00:56:14,284
- you know what I'm saying?
- Yeah.
1002
00:56:14,371 --> 00:56:17,183
They understand each other
almost from a point of view of fate.
1003
00:56:17,207 --> 00:56:19,163
And yet fate has made them enemies.
1004
00:56:19,251 --> 00:56:22,334
And three, two, one, go.
1005
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:26,421
And cut. That's so good.
1006
00:56:26,508 --> 00:56:29,090
It would be cool to do a couple versions,
1007
00:56:29,177 --> 00:56:32,135
one that's more determined,
one that's more afraid.
1008
00:56:37,978 --> 00:56:41,186
You should explode that much, like, say...
1009
00:56:41,273 --> 00:56:43,605
Like, just for that, and then just go-to.
1010
00:56:43,692 --> 00:56:46,354
- And then I could make...
- You could do a quick step out. Yeah.
1011
00:56:46,445 --> 00:56:48,436
- Shooting.
- Stand by to shoot.
1012
00:56:50,574 --> 00:56:52,815
Because of its luscious nature,
1013
00:56:52,910 --> 00:56:55,242
there's nothing like watching film,
1014
00:56:55,913 --> 00:56:58,871
seeing that the exposure's right,
that everything's right.
1015
00:56:58,957 --> 00:57:00,117
Three, two, one, go.
1016
00:57:01,668 --> 00:57:03,533
I love shooting things practically.
1017
00:57:03,629 --> 00:57:06,837
And cut. Great job.
That was great, dais. That's awesome.
1018
00:57:06,924 --> 00:57:11,258
There's just a reality to framing
something up and how the camera moves.
1019
00:57:11,345 --> 00:57:14,382
And if she lands here,
we should be good for Carlos.
1020
00:57:14,473 --> 00:57:15,553
- And for you.
- Lovely.
1021
00:57:15,641 --> 00:57:17,401
Let's get the drone up in the air.
Thank you.
1022
00:57:18,769 --> 00:57:21,932
Here we go. And three, two, one, action.
1023
00:57:32,282 --> 00:57:33,943
That's incredible.
1024
00:57:34,034 --> 00:57:35,865
Could you play a at 60 frames?
1025
00:57:40,749 --> 00:57:44,583
It's tougher emotionally
than I thought it would be.
1026
00:57:47,881 --> 00:57:51,373
The stuff with Adam
always has been so emotional,
1027
00:57:51,927 --> 00:57:55,010
trying to find that balance
of feeling the light side
1028
00:57:55,097 --> 00:57:57,930
but also feeling
the draw to the dark side.
1029
00:58:04,856 --> 00:58:07,518
I love my life. I love my job.
1030
00:58:07,609 --> 00:58:09,129
- It looks beautiful.
- I'm so excited.
1031
00:58:17,327 --> 00:58:19,180
He learns that,
over the course of the movie,
1032
00:58:19,204 --> 00:58:20,884
that they're two halves of the same thing.
1033
00:58:25,419 --> 00:58:29,833
I think it just, if anything,
reaffirms what he knows intuitively,
1034
00:58:30,590 --> 00:58:32,171
and has known for a while,
1035
00:58:32,259 --> 00:58:34,750
but hasn't been able
to articulate until he can.
1036
00:58:40,267 --> 00:58:42,633
No! No!
1037
00:58:46,189 --> 00:58:47,554
Chewie!
1038
00:58:48,191 --> 00:58:50,044
We did versions
when I'm just looking at it
1039
00:58:50,068 --> 00:58:52,104
and versions when I looked at my hand.
1040
00:58:52,195 --> 00:58:55,983
And doing it felt horrific.
1041
00:58:57,534 --> 00:59:02,278
And that's really, I think, obviously when
you start to see that all is not well.
1042
00:59:05,250 --> 00:59:08,146
All right, we're gonna all clear
out in a minute and let j.J. Walk the set,
1043
00:59:08,170 --> 00:59:10,001
and then Adam let rehearse it as well.
1044
00:59:10,088 --> 00:59:11,733
When they finally have this confrontation,
1045
00:59:11,757 --> 00:59:13,964
despite it being this battle
seemingly to the death,
1046
00:59:14,051 --> 00:59:17,088
he clearly has interest in her
beyond just killing her.
1047
00:59:17,929 --> 00:59:20,921
There obviously have been
questions for three films for Rey
1048
00:59:21,016 --> 00:59:22,722
that have culminated in this.
1049
00:59:22,809 --> 00:59:24,470
And it feels, having done it,
1050
00:59:24,561 --> 00:59:28,145
that it was the only way
she was going to get back to herself,
1051
00:59:28,231 --> 00:59:31,348
is answering those questions that are,
like, lingering, lingering, lingering.
1052
00:59:31,443 --> 00:59:33,563
You're looking down at the blade,
frame that with her,
1053
00:59:33,612 --> 00:59:35,568
and then over her shoulder,
he's standing there.
1054
00:59:35,655 --> 00:59:37,335
That was the thing I said to j.J.,
1055
00:59:37,407 --> 00:59:39,093
"I hope Adam and I
have some stuff together."
1056
00:59:39,117 --> 00:59:41,483
'Cause it's nice seeing the differences.
1057
00:59:41,578 --> 00:59:44,945
I don't want it to feel like
episode viii Rey and kylo.
1058
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:47,497
So it has to be beyond then.
There has to be rage there.
1059
00:59:48,126 --> 00:59:50,742
But also, there has to be sympathy
and understanding
1060
00:59:50,837 --> 00:59:52,748
and an actual connection.
1061
00:59:52,839 --> 00:59:55,251
And Adam, turn clockwise, I guess.
1062
00:59:55,342 --> 00:59:56,832
A little bit more, yeah, like that.
1063
00:59:56,927 --> 00:59:59,339
And then Daisy come to your left
a touch more, please.
1064
01:00:03,767 --> 01:00:07,476
So, the force connection,
which becomes the fight in his quarters,
1065
01:00:08,271 --> 01:00:10,353
took like two or three days,
and it was pretty tough.
1066
01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:12,806
I think that was the first fight we did.
1067
01:00:12,901 --> 01:00:14,232
And so in my mind I thought,
1068
01:00:14,319 --> 01:00:17,527
"we'll just have pickups in kijimi,
that will be great. We'll go to kijimi."
1069
01:00:17,614 --> 01:00:19,855
And then we were shooting outside.
1070
01:00:19,950 --> 01:00:21,861
It was absolutely freezing,
1071
01:00:21,952 --> 01:00:24,819
and there were really technical things
we had to do.
1072
01:00:24,913 --> 01:00:26,599
And some of the moves
were really difficult,
1073
01:00:26,623 --> 01:00:28,784
and I thought,
oh, I won't have to do these.
1074
01:00:28,875 --> 01:00:30,957
And then obviously I had to do them.
1075
01:00:37,175 --> 01:00:38,175
Sorry.
1076
01:00:38,260 --> 01:00:39,625
- Sorry.
- No, it's all right.
1077
01:00:41,429 --> 01:00:43,465
Back to one.
Twenty-four, Charlie, take three.
1078
01:00:52,274 --> 01:00:55,892
I was nervous about the fight,
because he's enormous.
1079
01:00:55,986 --> 01:00:57,942
That was really my main worry.
1080
01:00:58,029 --> 01:01:00,566
But then once we got into it
it was pretty cool,
1081
01:01:00,657 --> 01:01:02,648
because it was more like
a choreographed dance.
1082
01:01:02,742 --> 01:01:04,182
And it felt like it really paid off,
1083
01:01:04,244 --> 01:01:06,576
because I think we both really knew
what we were doing
1084
01:01:06,663 --> 01:01:08,949
and how we were feeling, and it was great.
1085
01:01:15,630 --> 01:01:17,666
They sold you to protect you.
1086
01:01:17,757 --> 01:01:18,792
Stop talking.
1087
01:01:33,857 --> 01:01:37,270
The set of kijimi was
one of the wildest I'd ever seen.
1088
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:39,567
It's epically big.
And it's got street after street.
1089
01:01:40,405 --> 01:01:42,396
It's like stairs leading to stairs.
1090
01:01:43,283 --> 01:01:45,261
The walls were easy,
the windows were easy.
1091
01:01:45,285 --> 01:01:46,285
The bloody roofs.
1092
01:01:46,995 --> 01:01:49,737
Four hundred construction guys,
it's like running an army.
1093
01:01:53,251 --> 01:01:54,491
Ta-dal
1094
01:02:02,135 --> 01:02:03,591
Where is this in the script?
1095
01:02:03,678 --> 01:02:05,839
Well this is the kijimi, the snowy planet.
1096
01:02:05,931 --> 01:02:09,139
We wanted to reference
kurosawa's hidden fortress.
1097
01:02:09,226 --> 01:02:11,182
The original two guys in hidden fortress
1098
01:02:11,269 --> 01:02:14,102
were basically the initial versions
of threepio and r2,
1099
01:02:14,189 --> 01:02:16,680
two people in a bigger adventure.
1100
01:02:16,775 --> 01:02:20,017
I went to high school in Japan,
and when I walked in,
1101
01:02:20,111 --> 01:02:22,693
these looked very familiar to those roofs.
1102
01:02:22,781 --> 01:02:25,259
You know the walls,
the sloped angle and the giant flagstones,
1103
01:02:25,283 --> 01:02:27,774
it's very much based
upon our tribute to kurosawa.
1104
01:02:30,205 --> 01:02:32,925
The idea for kijimi,
what it looked like, what it felt like,
1105
01:02:32,999 --> 01:02:38,869
was really just, "here's a corner of
the galaxy that we should take a peek at
1106
01:02:38,964 --> 01:02:43,503
to see what these villages are like
when the first order has occupied them."
1107
01:02:44,302 --> 01:02:47,022
You guys are like, "lets get
out of here," and you start to walk off.
1108
01:02:49,766 --> 01:02:52,473
Yeah, 'cause it's the first slam,
I think, and then...
1109
01:02:53,687 --> 01:02:55,848
The whole thing could be a little mistier.
1110
01:02:55,939 --> 01:02:57,520
It's quite cold out here, isn't it?
1111
01:02:59,985 --> 01:03:03,648
Amazingly, star wars has
these big beautiful sets,
1112
01:03:03,738 --> 01:03:07,447
you're not imagining that much of it,
because you're actually in them.
1113
01:03:07,534 --> 01:03:10,196
I just feel like
I am in the galaxy right now.
1114
01:03:10,287 --> 01:03:11,447
I am going to win.
1115
01:03:11,538 --> 01:03:14,951
Ready, and background!
Civilians! Troopers!
1116
01:03:15,583 --> 01:03:17,915
7hree, two, one, go.
1117
01:03:22,966 --> 01:03:25,069
We knew that we wanted
to learn more about poe.
1118
01:03:25,093 --> 01:03:26,629
We wanted to learn more about Finn.
1119
01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:31,384
But the challenge was
to do that without stopping the film.
1120
01:03:31,474 --> 01:03:34,056
Sometimes it takes a couple tries,
you know?
1121
01:03:34,144 --> 01:03:36,886
- A couple tries?
- A couple tries, you gotta...
1122
01:03:36,980 --> 01:03:39,596
That wasn't a couple tries,
that was like 29.
1123
01:03:39,691 --> 01:03:42,148
Was it? Didn't feel like that much for me.
1124
01:03:45,322 --> 01:03:47,608
They're everywhere.
We gotta find another way.
1125
01:03:47,699 --> 01:03:48,843
There's an Arthur Miller quote,
1126
01:03:48,867 --> 01:03:52,200
which is that every drama is a story
of the birds coming home to roost.
1127
01:03:52,287 --> 01:03:55,779
And I think that's somewhat true
for everyone in the story.
1128
01:03:57,125 --> 01:04:01,038
Poe, and the way that he left things
with zorii comes back in the film.
1129
01:04:01,129 --> 01:04:03,495
Heard you were spotted at monk's gate.
1130
01:04:03,590 --> 01:04:06,502
Thought, "he's not stupid enough
to come back here."
1131
01:04:06,593 --> 01:04:11,132
I love that we get to go back
to when he was a young, scrappy guy.
1132
01:04:11,222 --> 01:04:14,840
Poe and zorii have history.
1133
01:04:14,934 --> 01:04:18,142
Okay, well, he had
a little moment in time there
1134
01:04:18,229 --> 01:04:20,515
where he was caught up in the spice ring.
1135
01:04:20,607 --> 01:04:23,144
I think they were like
a lot of people in star wars,
1136
01:04:23,234 --> 01:04:26,692
they were surviving
in the only way that you can.
1137
01:04:26,780 --> 01:04:28,236
You were a spice runner?
1138
01:04:28,323 --> 01:04:30,092
- You were a stormtrooper?
- Were you a spice runner?
1139
01:04:30,116 --> 01:04:31,886
Were you a scavenger?
We could do this all night.
1140
01:04:31,910 --> 01:04:35,323
She takes the guy out... boom.
And then that's the end of the shot.
1141
01:04:35,413 --> 01:04:37,870
She's just really cool.
1142
01:04:37,957 --> 01:04:39,822
Bounty for her just might cover it.
1143
01:04:43,922 --> 01:04:45,287
I have three kids.
1144
01:04:45,382 --> 01:04:49,466
But there is nothing I have ever done
that my son has thought was cool...
1145
01:04:49,552 --> 01:04:50,837
Until this.
1146
01:04:51,471 --> 01:04:53,257
So, j.J.? Yes.
1147
01:04:53,348 --> 01:04:57,011
It will be the twirl on one,
and the pull out on action. Okay.
1148
01:04:57,102 --> 01:04:59,013
So, keri,
the gun goes up on action.
1149
01:05:02,774 --> 01:05:05,481
J.j. Told me he wanted it to be
1150
01:05:05,568 --> 01:05:08,776
always this kind of alluring,
wondering who she was.
1151
01:05:08,863 --> 01:05:11,900
Like, seeing people
and them not seeing you is very unnerving.
1152
01:05:12,784 --> 01:05:14,115
And action.
1153
01:05:14,202 --> 01:05:17,615
I've saved up enough to get out.
I'm going to the colonies.
1154
01:05:17,705 --> 01:05:19,411
Wanna come with me?
1155
01:05:19,499 --> 01:05:22,912
When the visor comes up
and you see those eyes,
1156
01:05:23,002 --> 01:05:25,314
uh, that ended up being
one of my favorite scenes to shoot,
1157
01:05:25,338 --> 01:05:27,294
because it's a real moment of connection.
1158
01:05:27,382 --> 01:05:30,419
And you often don't see poe vulnerable.
1159
01:05:30,510 --> 01:05:32,613
It's that way that sometimes
these people from your past
1160
01:05:32,637 --> 01:05:35,174
that knew you in a different light,
1161
01:05:35,265 --> 01:05:38,098
they say that thing
that reminds you of who you are.
1162
01:05:38,184 --> 01:05:40,175
The spectacular keri Russell.
1163
01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:02,810
So, we're in babu frik's droid shop,
1164
01:06:02,834 --> 01:06:08,921
and we've made hundreds of robot parts
in the set dec and props department.
1165
01:06:09,716 --> 01:06:13,425
And if you look up,
you'll see various heads,
1166
01:06:14,387 --> 01:06:16,753
some of which have been seen before,
1167
01:06:18,141 --> 01:06:19,597
some that are brand new.
1168
01:06:22,228 --> 01:06:23,764
Forever banging your head.
1169
01:06:24,314 --> 01:06:27,681
Possibly, for anyone who knows
the Ralph mcquarrie concepts,
1170
01:06:27,775 --> 01:06:29,265
and that's stuff based on his.
1171
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:32,852
Well, intricacy is closely interconnected
to a complete mess.
1172
01:06:32,947 --> 01:06:35,233
So, we've got one or the other,
I'm not sure which.
1173
01:06:35,325 --> 01:06:39,113
Our team is luckily
very well-versed in star wars.
1174
01:06:39,204 --> 01:06:43,447
"Greebles." greebles was a word apparently
invented on the first star wars film.
1175
01:06:43,541 --> 01:06:47,875
And, uh, there are numerous
pieces of greebly,
1176
01:06:47,962 --> 01:06:51,671
which is an english term
for "dressing" on the barge.
1177
01:06:51,758 --> 01:06:56,502
Aircraft pieces that are made to look
into a kind of space configuration.
1178
01:06:56,596 --> 01:06:59,383
It's to make something look
more technologically advanced
1179
01:06:59,474 --> 01:07:01,135
than it actually is.
1180
01:07:01,226 --> 01:07:03,262
And it can be as simple as
1181
01:07:03,353 --> 01:07:07,221
just adding a couple of little buttons
and a little shiny thing.
1182
01:07:07,315 --> 01:07:09,021
It can be a verb or a noun.
1183
01:07:09,108 --> 01:07:10,939
"We will greeble that."
1184
01:07:11,027 --> 01:07:13,234
"Find some greebles."
"We're out of greebles!"
1185
01:07:13,321 --> 01:07:16,028
This has taken,
I think it's about two to three months
1186
01:07:16,115 --> 01:07:18,071
to get this quantity of stuff.
1187
01:07:18,159 --> 01:07:21,822
And that's the team working every day,
churning stuff out.
1188
01:07:21,913 --> 01:07:23,744
And we've also made a very special gallery
1189
01:07:23,831 --> 01:07:27,540
of items to commemorate
the participation of John Williams.
1190
01:07:28,795 --> 01:07:29,875
Here, let's do it.
1191
01:07:29,921 --> 01:07:31,857
John Williams was having lunch
with Kathy Kennedy,
1192
01:07:31,881 --> 01:07:34,463
and the idea of his being in the movie
came up.
1193
01:07:34,551 --> 01:07:37,839
Kathy told me, and we were both like,
"well, we have to do this."
1194
01:07:37,929 --> 01:07:39,769
I said, "no,
I don't want that, it's too silly,
1195
01:07:39,847 --> 01:07:41,462
I wouldn't possibly do that.”
1196
01:07:42,475 --> 01:07:45,137
And then I mentioned it to my wife,
Samantha, and she said,
1197
01:07:45,228 --> 01:07:47,540
"you have to, that's more important
than doing the score of the film,
1198
01:07:47,564 --> 01:07:48,474
you gotta be in it."
1199
01:07:48,565 --> 01:07:51,352
Threepio looks at you,
and you just don't like him at all,
1200
01:07:51,442 --> 01:07:54,024
and you can even shake your head a bit
and go back to your thing.
1201
01:07:54,112 --> 01:07:56,899
And you just... that's the moment,
and the camera will push in,
1202
01:07:58,032 --> 01:07:59,488
- and it'll be fantastic.
- Okay.
1203
01:08:00,285 --> 01:08:03,027
Do you mind if I make a little,
small, embarrassing speech?
1204
01:08:03,121 --> 01:08:04,952
Do you mind? Okay.
1205
01:08:06,291 --> 01:08:07,411
For anyone who doesn't know,
1206
01:08:07,458 --> 01:08:10,040
and I think everyone does
and is probably giddy in their own way,
1207
01:08:10,128 --> 01:08:12,084
but just to say it
so we're all well aware,
1208
01:08:12,714 --> 01:08:15,831
we are in the presence
of a supernatural genius,
1209
01:08:15,925 --> 01:08:18,587
someone who does the impossible,
1210
01:08:18,678 --> 01:08:20,885
someone who is now an actor.
1211
01:08:21,639 --> 01:08:25,723
Ladies and gentlemen, the one,
the only maestro, Mr. John Williams.
1212
01:08:32,525 --> 01:08:34,015
Forty years, this thing.
1213
01:08:34,569 --> 01:08:40,155
So we're gonna play now the last piece
here which was the first piece then.
1214
01:08:40,575 --> 01:08:41,940
In 1976.
1215
01:08:42,452 --> 01:08:45,819
In 1976, when I was 12.
1216
01:08:45,913 --> 01:08:48,905
Okay? And it sounds like this.
1217
01:08:49,792 --> 01:08:50,998
One, two, three...
1218
01:09:12,607 --> 01:09:15,007
When we recorded
the music of the first film,
1219
01:09:15,068 --> 01:09:19,061
none of us had any idea
that we'd ever hear the music again.
1220
01:09:23,034 --> 01:09:26,652
It feels very privileged to have been able
to do all of them to this point.
1221
01:09:26,746 --> 01:09:29,224
I don't think there's anything
quite like it in the history of film.
1222
01:09:29,248 --> 01:09:32,706
But we had the opportunity over decades
to take the same material,
1223
01:09:32,794 --> 01:09:35,706
use it again, and add something to it
and revoice it and rework it.
1224
01:09:40,468 --> 01:09:44,302
Each and every time,
there's some amazing theme.
1225
01:09:44,389 --> 01:09:48,177
Something that, in three notes,
you know exactly what it is.
1226
01:09:48,267 --> 01:09:53,227
The music he writes is
so profoundly good and impossibly moving,
1227
01:09:53,314 --> 01:09:55,646
you just can't believe
it didn't exist before you hear it.
1228
01:09:59,153 --> 01:10:01,940
It's just, it's very strange,
his superpower.
1229
01:10:02,031 --> 01:10:06,274
And equally amazing
is just his nearly insane humility.
1230
01:10:06,369 --> 01:10:10,237
Like, he writes something, and then
he'll conduct it, and you're crying.
1231
01:10:10,331 --> 01:10:13,539
And he literally turns around, he looks
at you, he's like, "is that good?"
1232
01:10:13,626 --> 01:10:14,957
- That's good?
- Yeah.
1233
01:10:15,044 --> 01:10:16,625
All right. Let's go on.
1234
01:10:16,713 --> 01:10:21,173
All I can do is put notes on a paper
with a pencil, and it stops there.
1235
01:10:22,260 --> 01:10:26,344
And I need an orchestra to play the music,
and it stops there.
1236
01:10:26,931 --> 01:10:29,923
And then you need to have
the third element, which is the audience,
1237
01:10:30,643 --> 01:10:33,009
sending back what they send back.
1238
01:10:33,104 --> 01:10:37,518
And that completes the circle, and that is
what musical communication is about.
1239
01:10:39,235 --> 01:10:41,317
Watching him work is amazing,
1240
01:10:41,404 --> 01:10:43,144
and he's such a nice guy.
1241
01:10:48,369 --> 01:10:51,702
Rey's scene, for Daisy... that's for you.
1242
01:10:51,789 --> 01:10:54,531
- Okay. That's huge.
- All right?
1243
01:10:54,625 --> 01:10:56,520
- You see here, this is for you.
- I think I'm gonna cry.
1244
01:10:56,544 --> 01:10:58,224
Don't get any fingerprints on it.
1245
01:10:59,881 --> 01:11:01,191
Ah, come on!
1246
01:11:01,215 --> 01:11:03,706
That's her first page.
1247
01:11:03,801 --> 01:11:06,167
He's had 51 Oscar nominations,
1248
01:11:06,262 --> 01:11:09,299
and we thought it would be fun
to do something
1249
01:11:09,390 --> 01:11:12,097
as a kind of celebration
of what he's done and who he is.
1250
01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:15,097
You are surrounded
by all this apparent junk.
1251
01:11:16,522 --> 01:11:20,185
Every single item
has been very purposely chosen
1252
01:11:20,693 --> 01:11:25,278
to represent one of the 51 academy award
nominated films that you've scored.
1253
01:11:26,073 --> 01:11:28,234
So, not only...
There's hook over there behind you.
1254
01:11:28,326 --> 01:11:30,157
- Oh, my god.
- This is jaws.
1255
01:11:30,703 --> 01:11:31,703
There's et,
1256
01:11:32,413 --> 01:11:33,619
saving private Ryan,
1257
01:11:34,040 --> 01:11:37,749
Tom sawyerwas a little interesting
to figure out. We figured corn cob pipe...
1258
01:11:38,628 --> 01:11:40,118
That's from 7he book thief
1259
01:11:40,588 --> 01:11:47,505
we've put letters from the star wars
alphabet, aurebesh, as j-t-w,
1260
01:11:47,970 --> 01:11:50,507
which is John Williams's initials.
1261
01:11:50,598 --> 01:11:52,634
Oh, there's the whip from /ndiana Jones.
1262
01:11:52,725 --> 01:11:54,465
That's the iron from home alone.
1263
01:11:56,062 --> 01:11:58,474
- I mean, literally, isn't it crazy?
- It is unbelievable.
1264
01:11:58,564 --> 01:12:00,896
- Isn't it incredible”? Each piece.
- Unbelievable.
1265
01:12:02,193 --> 01:12:05,060
- This is ridiculous.
- It's great.
1266
01:12:05,154 --> 01:12:06,894
To have him in a movie
1267
01:12:07,365 --> 01:12:10,402
and just see the man that
we've been listening to all our lives,
1268
01:12:10,493 --> 01:12:12,404
who's been moving us so profoundly,
1269
01:12:12,495 --> 01:12:15,175
it was a blast to get to work with him
in that way, and he was so...
1270
01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:17,120
Uh...
1271
01:12:17,208 --> 01:12:19,574
He was so lovely and seemed
to have a really good time.
1272
01:12:19,669 --> 01:12:23,412
Great energy. Here we go.
Set, three, two, one, action!
1273
01:12:27,093 --> 01:12:28,833
Cut! That was fantastic.
1274
01:12:30,137 --> 01:12:31,422
Babu frik?
1275
01:12:31,514 --> 01:12:32,720
Can you help us with this?
1276
01:12:32,807 --> 01:12:37,767
Now this is the one that does the
operation on threepio's circuitry, right?
1277
01:12:37,854 --> 01:12:39,970
Babu frik is a rod puppet,
1278
01:12:40,064 --> 01:12:43,306
which goes back
to the ancient way of puppetry.
1279
01:12:43,401 --> 01:12:47,735
So it's, uh... you have your puppet,
and you just stick rods on the limbs,
1280
01:12:47,822 --> 01:12:51,314
and puppeteers will move him,
breathe life into him.
1281
01:12:55,079 --> 01:12:57,661
That's great.
1282
01:13:00,418 --> 01:13:02,283
So that's the simplest version of him.
1283
01:13:02,378 --> 01:13:05,586
But obviously, we would mechanize
the fingers and the toes and the face,
1284
01:13:05,673 --> 01:13:06,833
and all of those things.
1285
01:13:07,967 --> 01:13:09,423
Oh, my gosh. Look at that.
1286
01:13:09,510 --> 01:13:12,422
This is particularly small
for an animatronic head, you know?
1287
01:13:12,513 --> 01:13:13,377
I'll bet.
1288
01:13:13,472 --> 01:13:17,556
And only in this tiny head,
there's 13 micro servos.
1289
01:13:18,352 --> 01:13:24,393
And they're all individually powering
just so we can mix it up a bit.
1290
01:13:25,359 --> 01:13:27,600
You know, on the original films,
1291
01:13:28,195 --> 01:13:32,404
I was never in my dressing room, you know?
1292
01:13:32,491 --> 01:13:38,487
When I wasn't in a scene, they always knew
I'd be in Stuart freeborn's shop.
1293
01:13:38,581 --> 01:13:41,823
I remember Stuart
whipping up the green foam
1294
01:13:41,918 --> 01:13:44,500
that they were gonna pour
into the Yoda mold.
1295
01:13:45,171 --> 01:13:48,254
He said, "do you wanna pour some?"
I said, "yeah! Are you kidding me?"
1296
01:13:48,341 --> 01:13:53,005
The most complex one, the most
sophisticated one is the smallest one.
1297
01:13:53,095 --> 01:13:55,177
That is the Yoda.
1298
01:13:55,598 --> 01:13:57,589
He's only two foot high,
1299
01:13:58,142 --> 01:14:04,138
and, of course, he has to have all the
animation it's possible to give him,
1300
01:14:04,607 --> 01:14:07,064
which is difficult
in such a small creature.
1301
01:14:09,320 --> 01:14:11,185
He could even steal the picture.
1302
01:14:12,573 --> 01:14:15,030
And that would be great if he does.
1303
01:14:16,869 --> 01:14:20,111
It's just such a small space to work with.
1304
01:14:20,206 --> 01:14:25,621
So, it's just getting as many expressions
in this little head as possible.
1305
01:14:26,545 --> 01:14:29,378
Partly because
it'll be great to have on set,
1306
01:14:29,465 --> 01:14:35,005
and partly because I wanna prove to myself
that I can put a lot in a tiny head.
1307
01:14:37,139 --> 01:14:40,677
The more impossible it is, and
then in the end you succeed in doing it,
1308
01:14:40,768 --> 01:14:43,885
that's when, of course,
it's that much more satisfying.
1309
01:14:44,689 --> 01:14:46,541
Keep in mind,
this is the first time we're seeing him,
1310
01:14:46,565 --> 01:14:48,556
so he's gotta be, like, hero.
1311
01:14:49,276 --> 01:14:51,358
And maybe some quicker blinks.
1312
01:14:52,154 --> 01:14:55,442
You know what I mean? Just so that he's,
like, a little more, like, alert.
1313
01:14:55,533 --> 01:14:57,615
That helps. Yeah, that's great.
1314
01:14:58,744 --> 01:15:01,986
Is that unusual,
for an actress to be doing that?
1315
01:15:02,081 --> 01:15:04,072
Or does she have puppeteering experience?
1316
01:15:04,166 --> 01:15:05,622
Well, it's not common, no.
1317
01:15:06,127 --> 01:15:10,621
I met the creature team, who are amazing,
and they handed me this machine
1318
01:15:10,715 --> 01:15:12,859
and said I've got to learn
how to work the mouth very quickly.
1319
01:15:12,883 --> 01:15:15,603
And I didn't know that was gonna happen,
so it was a bit frightening.
1320
01:15:15,636 --> 01:15:18,093
It's just... is the mouth working there?
Can you see?
1321
01:15:18,180 --> 01:15:19,180
So, if I do this...
1322
01:15:19,265 --> 01:15:20,345
Ee, eel
1323
01:15:22,018 --> 01:15:24,430
this is actually the first time
we've done this.
1324
01:15:24,520 --> 01:15:27,933
Where we've had
the talent performing the mouth
1325
01:15:28,024 --> 01:15:31,391
at the same time as delivering
the dialogue, which is really good fun.
1326
01:15:31,485 --> 01:15:34,256
- 'Cause she picked it up really quickly.
- Thank you, Matt. Thank you.
1327
01:15:34,280 --> 01:15:37,772
A lot the time we would have
another puppeteer do the voice on set,
1328
01:15:37,867 --> 01:15:40,404
and then they would dub it
in adr afterwards.
1329
01:15:40,494 --> 01:15:42,389
But it's great,
'cause the character's so strong,
1330
01:15:42,413 --> 01:15:44,699
and what Shirley's done with the character
is great.
1331
01:15:44,790 --> 01:15:47,452
So it's really good to have that ability
1332
01:15:47,543 --> 01:15:50,205
for the other actors to bounce off
what she's doing.
1333
01:15:50,296 --> 01:15:51,752
And action!
1334
01:15:54,216 --> 01:15:55,456
Perfect. Keep doing that.
1335
01:15:59,680 --> 01:16:01,136
Good. The looking up is great.
1336
01:16:03,017 --> 01:16:04,507
Okay, great. Yeah, uh...
1337
01:16:04,602 --> 01:16:08,811
I work on anybody who needs an accent,
but I also make up new alien languages.
1338
01:16:11,650 --> 01:16:13,879
And she was describing it as if,
like, things are shutting.
1339
01:16:13,903 --> 01:16:16,770
Like, things are clasping,
clasping like that.
1340
01:16:16,864 --> 01:16:18,592
- Or that kind of thing.
- We sort of, we played around...
1341
01:16:18,616 --> 01:16:21,983
And it was the beginning of this sound
to babu, trying to find babu.
1342
01:16:22,078 --> 01:16:25,195
It's pretty great, with the blank-blank,
the bye-bye.
1343
01:16:25,664 --> 01:16:28,351
This discovering it
as you're... and feeling it in your body,
1344
01:16:28,375 --> 01:16:29,490
but I believe it that way,
1345
01:16:29,585 --> 01:16:33,373
and I offered it up, and then
j.J. Picks the bits that he believes.
1346
01:16:35,007 --> 01:16:37,293
That's one of my favorite
little plot twists,
1347
01:16:37,384 --> 01:16:39,295
threepio losing his memory.
1348
01:16:39,386 --> 01:16:40,876
Rich with comic potential,
1349
01:16:40,971 --> 01:16:44,634
because, you know, he's sort of written
to get on people's nerves,
1350
01:16:46,227 --> 01:16:47,888
but he always had really funny lines.
1351
01:16:47,978 --> 01:16:50,970
"I'd forgotten
how much I abhor space travel."
1352
01:16:51,065 --> 01:16:52,065
You know?
1353
01:16:52,149 --> 01:16:56,358
I'd always picture threepio
would be much happier at the opera
1354
01:16:56,445 --> 01:16:59,903
serving hors d'oeuvres
instead of rattling through space.
1355
01:17:00,366 --> 01:17:04,575
Threepio is, uh, I think,
very like an english Butler.
1356
01:17:04,662 --> 01:17:07,529
He's the particularly British
sort of person.
1357
01:17:08,040 --> 01:17:11,624
Very archaic and rather out of his time.
1358
01:17:11,710 --> 01:17:12,995
And action!
1359
01:17:14,213 --> 01:17:17,150
And consequently, he finds all
the things that happen in star wars,
1360
01:17:17,174 --> 01:17:22,134
you know, the battles, the explosions,
all the nasty characters like Darth Vader,
1361
01:17:22,221 --> 01:17:23,802
he finds that very worrying.
1362
01:17:23,889 --> 01:17:26,380
7ony, look.
1363
01:17:27,768 --> 01:17:30,760
Threepio's in some ways
the observer of all things
1364
01:17:30,855 --> 01:17:32,720
and the memory of the saga.
1365
01:17:33,149 --> 01:17:35,430
So when we were playing with different
plots for threepio,
1366
01:17:35,484 --> 01:17:39,853
it felt like it was in his DNA that one of
the plots was "he should lose his memory,"
1367
01:17:39,947 --> 01:17:43,314
because he's always the one who's
observing and commenting on everything.
1368
01:17:43,409 --> 01:17:49,120
And if threepio loses his memory,
it's as though the crawl would disappear,
1369
01:17:49,206 --> 01:17:52,619
because threepio
is the keeper of the story.
1370
01:17:52,710 --> 01:17:55,042
You're gonna have the back of your head
off now in this,
1371
01:17:55,129 --> 01:17:56,744
and the wires will be coming from that.
1372
01:17:56,839 --> 01:17:58,295
We make him translate it...
1373
01:17:59,383 --> 01:18:01,169
He won't remember... anything?
1374
01:18:01,635 --> 01:18:04,001
Droid, remember go blank.
1375
01:18:04,430 --> 01:18:05,430
Blank, blank.
1376
01:18:10,102 --> 01:18:13,594
If this mission fails,
then it's all been for nothing.
1377
01:18:14,106 --> 01:18:17,018
All we've done, all this time.
1378
01:18:17,568 --> 01:18:20,435
Often star wars characters
sacrifice themselves.
1379
01:18:20,529 --> 01:18:22,645
I mean, think of Obi-Wan Kenobi.
1380
01:18:22,740 --> 01:18:24,856
He went to battle the dark side,
Darth Vader,
1381
01:18:24,950 --> 01:18:26,861
and sacrificed himself for everybody.
1382
01:18:27,244 --> 01:18:28,984
And now threepio's doing the same thing.
1383
01:18:29,788 --> 01:18:32,530
And, you know,
he's not too ready to do it,
1384
01:18:32,625 --> 01:18:36,083
because he's going to be destroyed
as himself.
1385
01:18:37,755 --> 01:18:39,837
There'll be a spark,
which we'll probably hear.
1386
01:18:39,924 --> 01:18:41,693
- Yeah.
- As soon as you hear the
1387
01:18:41,717 --> 01:18:43,082
you can just go.
1388
01:18:43,177 --> 01:18:44,667
Action, working, working, working.
1389
01:18:48,599 --> 01:18:50,840
Three, two, one, spark.
1390
01:18:52,228 --> 01:18:55,311
The fact that threepio
is willing to sacrifice himself
1391
01:18:55,397 --> 01:18:58,264
is because he belongs to the team.
1392
01:18:58,359 --> 01:19:00,566
He loves the team, the humans.
1393
01:19:00,653 --> 01:19:04,987
With threepio, I really, I think he's one
of the more human characters in the film.
1394
01:19:06,033 --> 01:19:07,523
Might I introduce myself.
1395
01:19:07,618 --> 01:19:12,032
I am c-3po, human-cyborg relations.
And you are?
1396
01:19:12,122 --> 01:19:13,600
Okay, that's gonna be a problem.
1397
01:19:13,624 --> 01:19:16,115
Hello. I babu frik.
1398
01:19:16,752 --> 01:19:18,813
And then, even from right here,
you're going to be like,
1399
01:19:18,837 --> 01:19:20,065
- "that's going to be..."
- "That's going to be a problem."
1400
01:19:20,089 --> 01:19:21,329
Yeah, there you go.
1401
01:19:21,423 --> 01:19:23,835
- Classic.
- You got classic poe.
1402
01:19:23,926 --> 01:19:26,383
And then, we might actually go
from zorii's line
1403
01:19:26,470 --> 01:19:29,587
to the close-up of
babu saying "go, go, go."
1404
01:19:30,182 --> 01:19:31,388
And action.
1405
01:19:32,810 --> 01:19:35,802
Go, go, go!
1406
01:19:36,855 --> 01:19:41,565
Gol
1407
01:19:45,155 --> 01:19:49,273
go!
1408
01:19:51,412 --> 01:19:52,652
All right, cut.
1409
01:19:52,746 --> 01:19:54,346
Oh, my gosh. It's ridiculous.
1410
01:19:54,832 --> 01:19:56,072
Can you imagine we did that?
1411
01:19:57,126 --> 01:20:01,870
The scene ended with a 20-second "go!"
1412
01:20:02,464 --> 01:20:04,000
Oh, my god. It's hysterical.
1413
01:20:04,091 --> 01:20:05,797
All right. We're good. Thank you.
1414
01:20:14,018 --> 01:20:15,287
- Good morning.
- Hey, good morning.
1415
01:20:15,311 --> 01:20:16,311
- How's it going?
- Good.
1416
01:20:18,939 --> 01:20:20,099
That should be all right.
1417
01:20:20,190 --> 01:20:22,190
It's just
the biggest thing I've ever seen.
1418
01:20:22,234 --> 01:20:27,103
It's, like, more people than I've ever
seen concentrating on one thing at a time.
1419
01:20:29,199 --> 01:20:31,815
It would be up there a bit,
just because of the scale of it.
1420
01:20:31,910 --> 01:20:33,972
- Yes.
- If you look at it from a wide shot,
1421
01:20:33,996 --> 01:20:35,827
- you'd see an arc.
- Perfect, okay, great.
1422
01:20:35,914 --> 01:20:37,370
- Hey, Naomi.
- Hello.
1423
01:20:37,458 --> 01:20:40,666
The atmosphere is just so friendly
and like, welcoming.
1424
01:20:40,753 --> 01:20:42,539
It's backwards. And you look into it.
1425
01:20:44,757 --> 01:20:47,715
It is also really lovely to see
the whole cast come together
1426
01:20:47,801 --> 01:20:51,714
and to know that I'm, like, the new girl,
but, like, part of that same team,
1427
01:20:51,805 --> 01:20:52,920
part of that same family.
1428
01:20:53,015 --> 01:20:55,882
It makes the bigness of this film
a little bit more personal.
1429
01:20:56,310 --> 01:20:58,175
Horse positions, please.
1430
01:21:00,606 --> 01:21:01,891
All right. Here we go.
1431
01:21:03,817 --> 01:21:07,435
Lens, ready, set, and go, jannah, action!
1432
01:21:07,529 --> 01:21:08,529
Action, horses.
1433
01:21:08,989 --> 01:21:09,989
Rough landing?
1434
01:21:10,532 --> 01:21:12,443
- I've seen worse.
- I've seen better.
1435
01:21:12,826 --> 01:21:15,158
My first day of star wars
was definitely memorable.
1436
01:21:15,788 --> 01:21:17,653
It was like a stimulation overload.
1437
01:21:17,748 --> 01:21:19,409
It was just, like, all of the things.
1438
01:21:19,500 --> 01:21:23,914
Like, so many people,
so many animals, so many flies.
1439
01:21:25,839 --> 01:21:29,923
All the flying ants
rise up from the ground
1440
01:21:30,010 --> 01:21:33,753
and decide that it's their time to do
whatever they've got to do in the air.
1441
01:21:35,057 --> 01:21:37,077
The bugs, man.
It was funny on set, you know?
1442
01:21:37,101 --> 01:21:39,329
When stuff like that happens,
we all react in a normal way,
1443
01:21:39,353 --> 01:21:40,843
laugh about it and keep on moving.
1444
01:21:40,938 --> 01:21:43,054
They swarm you, then ate you.
1445
01:21:43,482 --> 01:21:46,064
They were stuck everywhere.
1446
01:21:52,741 --> 01:21:53,741
Buggy planet.
1447
01:21:56,870 --> 01:21:57,870
How about that?
1448
01:21:59,748 --> 01:22:01,158
They got caught in my fro.
1449
01:22:01,667 --> 01:22:03,032
Um, it was a lot.
1450
01:22:04,211 --> 01:22:05,747
That's filmmaking.
1451
01:22:05,838 --> 01:22:09,171
You can't control those things,
but you still get the job done.
1452
01:22:13,720 --> 01:22:18,180
Unfortunately, our stormy planet
isn't quite so stormy at the moment,
1453
01:22:18,267 --> 01:22:20,929
so sadly, we're waiting out the sun.
1454
01:22:26,650 --> 01:22:29,813
Just the practicality
of working under those conditions,
1455
01:22:29,903 --> 01:22:31,985
there are different issues
that that creates,
1456
01:22:32,072 --> 01:22:34,609
challenges that you have to overcome.
1457
01:22:34,700 --> 01:22:36,177
Hey, so we're going to
give up on this shot,
1458
01:22:36,201 --> 01:22:37,303
'cause it's never going to get cloudy
1459
01:22:37,327 --> 01:22:39,534
and it's gonna keep getting
more and more front lit.
1460
01:22:39,621 --> 01:22:41,641
So we'll bail on this shot.
We'll do it another time.
1461
01:22:41,665 --> 01:22:44,065
We should move the shoot
and go down below, to the low level.
1462
01:22:45,794 --> 01:22:47,705
Here we go. Clear frame.
And we are rolling.
1463
01:22:48,422 --> 01:22:49,582
Crane, action.
1464
01:22:57,222 --> 01:22:58,837
Seven of them are heading up the hill.
1465
01:22:59,266 --> 01:23:01,803
And we see out
into the stormy madness beyond,
1466
01:23:02,227 --> 01:23:04,263
and we see the wreck out that way.
1467
01:23:04,354 --> 01:23:07,642
One of the ideas
j.J. Brought back to episode ix
1468
01:23:07,733 --> 01:23:10,349
that initially he had thought
of in the early days of episode vii,
1469
01:23:10,444 --> 01:23:13,186
was going to
a crashed piece of the death star.
1470
01:23:15,157 --> 01:23:17,899
I was just fascinated
with the question of,
1471
01:23:17,993 --> 01:23:20,860
"what is it to live in the aftermath
of everything that we saw
1472
01:23:20,954 --> 01:23:22,490
in the original trilogy?"
1473
01:23:26,210 --> 01:23:29,577
So the idea of pieces of things
that we have seen
1474
01:23:29,671 --> 01:23:32,037
that had been blown apart...
1475
01:23:35,469 --> 01:23:40,088
There was just something that was kind of
haunting about it and kind of beautiful.
1476
01:23:41,600 --> 01:23:42,806
It was one of those things
1477
01:23:42,893 --> 01:23:47,057
that felt like an idea that you have
suddenly finds its purpose.
1478
01:23:48,649 --> 01:23:51,769
For a long time, we knew that there
was going to be a moment in the story
1479
01:23:51,860 --> 01:23:54,226
when we're going to see the death star.
1480
01:23:54,321 --> 01:23:57,905
First thing we wanted to do
is go up into the archives
1481
01:23:57,991 --> 01:24:00,198
and take a look
at the original model for the star.
1482
01:24:00,285 --> 01:24:02,526
Look at this weird core thing.
1483
01:24:03,205 --> 01:24:07,073
If we could get some of that
into our approach to Rey.
1484
01:24:07,626 --> 01:24:09,958
So we went up, took a bunch of photos.
1485
01:24:10,045 --> 01:24:15,335
We wanted to really understand
the curvature that houses the dish,
1486
01:24:15,968 --> 01:24:17,754
and then the texture itself.
1487
01:24:18,303 --> 01:24:21,591
The texture of the death star
is just as identifiable.
1488
01:24:21,682 --> 01:24:23,422
You can see these kind of banding,
1489
01:24:23,517 --> 01:24:25,286
which, when you get really close,
you understand,
1490
01:24:25,310 --> 01:24:28,973
"oh, my god. One of those bands is
actually the trench that Luke flies down."
1491
01:24:31,775 --> 01:24:37,566
We came across a really big issue in that
it is completely, ridiculously huge,
1492
01:24:37,656 --> 01:24:40,568
and found out that it was
about 90 miles across.
1493
01:24:40,659 --> 01:24:42,695
It's too deep to fit in the ocean,
1494
01:24:42,786 --> 01:24:45,653
and it's too tall
to fit into the atmosphere.
1495
01:24:45,747 --> 01:24:50,992
So we found out that we could just barely
fit the dish way out on the horizon.
1496
01:24:51,086 --> 01:24:54,920
That, we're pretty happy with.
And j.J. Looked at it and said,
1497
01:24:55,007 --> 01:24:58,499
"it's a little too convenient that we
just happen to come across the dish."
1498
01:24:58,594 --> 01:25:00,255
So we kind of reset.
1499
01:25:00,345 --> 01:25:02,427
Maybe it would have
just a piece of the shell,
1500
01:25:02,514 --> 01:25:04,800
with a little bit of the dish
left in there
1501
01:25:04,891 --> 01:25:07,177
to hopefully recognize it as what it is.
1502
01:25:09,521 --> 01:25:10,601
From the sky, bb-8.
1503
01:25:11,773 --> 01:25:14,685
It's a bad place from an old war.
1504
01:25:14,776 --> 01:25:17,297
And then she'll pull out the
blade and watch it widen out.
1505
01:25:17,321 --> 01:25:20,688
Even while we were dealing with
these big epic things in this movie,
1506
01:25:20,782 --> 01:25:24,240
we found that
the smallest details could sink you,
1507
01:25:24,328 --> 01:25:27,912
like the way that the blade interacts
with the next stage of the journey.
1508
01:25:27,998 --> 01:25:30,660
Trying to get that right
became a real challenge.
1509
01:25:31,877 --> 01:25:35,119
This one here, we was talking
about it being on leathers, or you know...
1510
01:25:35,213 --> 01:25:37,625
So when it was flat, in the sunlight,
1511
01:25:37,716 --> 01:25:39,402
you could literally see
all the way through it.
1512
01:25:39,426 --> 01:25:42,463
It could just be much more
of a simple slab or tablet.
1513
01:25:43,221 --> 01:25:45,587
To be honest, the scrolls,
it feels like a physical object.
1514
01:25:45,682 --> 01:25:46,682
Yeah, right.
1515
01:25:47,893 --> 01:25:49,008
I don't know.
1516
01:25:50,687 --> 01:25:51,972
Ah, this thing.
1517
01:25:52,064 --> 01:25:53,625
You know, this particular item,
1518
01:25:53,649 --> 01:25:56,085
it's just been something
we've been kind of, not struggling with,
1519
01:25:56,109 --> 01:25:58,851
I think it's struggling with
the whole idea of where it leads,
1520
01:25:58,945 --> 01:26:00,776
just because it's such a story point.
1521
01:26:00,864 --> 01:26:03,480
If the right idea showed up,
it would actually help the story.
1522
01:26:03,575 --> 01:26:05,156
So it's helpful to look at these,
1523
01:26:05,243 --> 01:26:07,221
but I don't know if any of these
are the right idea.
1524
01:26:07,245 --> 01:26:10,328
It would have been...
We're saying it was made after the...
1525
01:26:10,415 --> 01:26:11,851
- After the events... jedi.
- Second death star.
1526
01:26:11,875 --> 01:26:12,875
The second death star.
1527
01:26:12,918 --> 01:26:16,661
To pass on the information about
where the wayfinder was to other sith.
1528
01:26:16,755 --> 01:26:18,495
Like, would it have to have been hardier
1529
01:26:19,174 --> 01:26:22,086
because it would've had to pass
from hand to hand to hand?
1530
01:26:22,761 --> 01:26:24,046
But, like this.
1531
01:26:24,137 --> 01:26:25,923
We've all seen knives that have a shape.
1532
01:26:26,014 --> 01:26:28,551
If that cool design
happened to have a function, it was a map.
1533
01:26:28,642 --> 01:26:33,261
What are options for ways that things
could be pulled out from,
1534
01:26:33,355 --> 01:26:36,973
or extracted from, or removed from,
or adjusted on a knife?
1535
01:26:37,067 --> 01:26:40,059
I was imagining sort of something where
it's like if this came down,
1536
01:26:40,153 --> 01:26:42,235
- it would be one thing.
- Yeah. One thing.
1537
01:26:42,322 --> 01:26:44,529
And I just love the arrow.
So that's where it is.
1538
01:26:45,450 --> 01:26:46,610
- That's cool.
- That's good.
1539
01:26:51,665 --> 01:26:52,905
The wayfinder's there.
1540
01:27:07,013 --> 01:27:08,674
So, for the interior death star,
1541
01:27:08,765 --> 01:27:11,677
j.j. Wanted this to sound
like this creepy haunted house.
1542
01:27:13,729 --> 01:27:17,972
Scary winds, creepy metal creaks,
weird whistling sounds...
1543
01:27:18,567 --> 01:27:21,104
And so we just kind of, by accident,
1544
01:27:21,194 --> 01:27:26,109
happened to find this structure
that was made out of shipping containers.
1545
01:27:26,199 --> 01:27:27,939
So, it was a really windy day,
1546
01:27:28,034 --> 01:27:30,400
and it was the craziest sound
when we were inside,
1547
01:27:30,495 --> 01:27:33,453
all that metal and creak and banging.
1548
01:27:37,377 --> 01:27:39,242
It was like, "oh, this is the death star.
1549
01:27:39,337 --> 01:27:41,297
This is exactly going to work
for the death star."
1550
01:27:50,515 --> 01:27:53,427
What more fitting place for Rey
and ren to have their meeting
1551
01:27:53,518 --> 01:27:56,351
than literally on the ruins
of the war that came before?
1552
01:28:00,150 --> 01:28:03,642
We thought, "well, surely the place that
they have to meet is in the throne room,
1553
01:28:04,237 --> 01:28:09,231
which involves both of their grandfathers
and involves their shared history."
1554
01:28:19,294 --> 01:28:21,501
Young Skywalker.
1555
01:28:23,924 --> 01:28:25,039
You will die.
1556
01:28:26,092 --> 01:28:30,051
We are currently looking at
a legacy set designed by Norman Reynolds,
1557
01:28:30,138 --> 01:28:31,298
which is the throne room.
1558
01:28:31,389 --> 01:28:35,723
It involved building it all pristine
originally from the original blueprints,
1559
01:28:35,811 --> 01:28:37,267
and then destroying it.
1560
01:28:37,354 --> 01:28:41,222
We managed to fish out of the archives
some of these blueprints,
1561
01:28:41,858 --> 01:28:43,940
original drawings
from the original set build.
1562
01:28:44,569 --> 01:28:48,357
And from this,
I was able to recreate this in 3-d,
1563
01:28:48,448 --> 01:28:52,908
so we created complete models of
the original throne room.
1564
01:28:53,453 --> 01:28:55,114
So, this mezzanine level here,
1565
01:28:55,205 --> 01:28:57,571
we imagined
that it entirely collapsed through,
1566
01:28:58,208 --> 01:29:02,497
so you get this really nice full view of
the window there, which is all destroyed.
1567
01:29:07,717 --> 01:29:09,277
This is the emperor's throne,
1568
01:29:09,302 --> 01:29:12,965
and it's fallen from the floor above
down into this floor,
1569
01:29:13,849 --> 01:29:17,341
which is where Darth Vader and Luke
fought for a bit.
1570
01:29:19,271 --> 01:29:24,561
When you're building destroyed sets,
it's very hard for it not to look fake,
1571
01:29:25,110 --> 01:29:26,725
like it's been cut with a saw.
1572
01:29:27,737 --> 01:29:29,523
So Claire drove over it with a forklift.
1573
01:29:29,948 --> 01:29:33,657
I drove over panels
to make it look better, yeah.
1574
01:29:33,743 --> 01:29:34,804
Let's try one, please.
1575
01:29:34,828 --> 01:29:38,787
And you can see it in everyone's
faces when they walk on that set,
1576
01:29:39,291 --> 01:29:42,158
and the throne, they're just like,
"can I sit on it?"
1577
01:29:42,252 --> 01:29:45,540
And you're like,
"no. You're not allowed."
1578
01:29:48,341 --> 01:29:51,629
What was never in the original films
is a secret vault room,
1579
01:29:51,720 --> 01:29:53,506
accessed through his throne room.
1580
01:30:00,937 --> 01:30:04,041
So we've taken a bit of Liberty
and said actually it was always there,
1581
01:30:04,065 --> 01:30:05,521
you just didn't notice it.
1582
01:30:09,446 --> 01:30:12,188
The idea that
she's so crazy powerful with the force,
1583
01:30:12,282 --> 01:30:13,613
you know, so quickly,
1584
01:30:15,201 --> 01:30:18,159
for us, we always felt
that there was a connection
1585
01:30:18,246 --> 01:30:22,080
between her and something that would
help explain some of these things.
1586
01:30:25,128 --> 01:30:30,043
Obviously, you know, it needs to
feel like she is really contemplating it.
1587
01:30:30,550 --> 01:30:34,509
And that, the need for revenge,
it sort of overtakes everything else,
1588
01:30:34,596 --> 01:30:35,881
which it does for a moment,
1589
01:30:35,972 --> 01:30:40,261
and then she's sort of reminded
of what it all means and what's at stake.
1590
01:30:44,439 --> 01:30:48,352
Right from episode vii, from the
scene in which Rey is interrogated by ren,
1591
01:30:48,443 --> 01:30:51,606
is clear that they have a connection,
that they understand each other,
1592
01:30:51,696 --> 01:30:53,937
that they can
literally read each other's minds.
1593
01:30:54,532 --> 01:30:57,774
They're made uncomfortable by it,
and yet they're both drawn to each other.
1594
01:30:58,411 --> 01:31:02,279
Of course, episode vi/I/ furthered it
by creating the idea of force connection,
1595
01:31:02,374 --> 01:31:05,161
and I think what we wanted to do
was complicate that and say,
1596
01:31:05,251 --> 01:31:09,870
"actually, their connection
is deeper than that."
1597
01:31:09,965 --> 01:31:12,832
We began talking about them
as a mythic concept,
1598
01:31:12,926 --> 01:31:16,168
which is in Joseph Campbell,
which is the mythic dyad,
1599
01:31:16,262 --> 01:31:18,719
that they're two parts of the same whole.
1600
01:31:18,807 --> 01:31:21,389
And then finally
we began talking about how,
1601
01:31:21,476 --> 01:31:25,560
if the dyad ever came together,
its power would be immeasurable.
1602
01:31:27,816 --> 01:31:29,293
When we first read the script,
1603
01:31:29,317 --> 01:31:32,980
I offered to j.J.
That we could do some wave effects.
1604
01:31:33,071 --> 01:31:35,687
And at first he was kind of,
"yeah, yeah. Good idea, good idea."
1605
01:31:35,782 --> 01:31:37,488
And then we showed him some tests.
1606
01:31:37,575 --> 01:31:39,611
- Wow.
- Wow. Beautiful.
1607
01:31:39,703 --> 01:31:41,785
That's insane.
1608
01:31:41,871 --> 01:31:43,657
That is amazing. That's so cool.
1609
01:31:43,748 --> 01:31:45,659
That's 15 cameras there.
1610
01:31:45,750 --> 01:31:47,240
I think that we would do, I mean...
1611
01:31:47,335 --> 01:31:48,896
- We can let five go...
- Exactly.
1612
01:31:48,920 --> 01:31:51,536
And we'd be filling up at the same time.
1613
01:31:51,631 --> 01:31:53,818
That really is
my favorite thing I've ever seen.
1614
01:31:53,842 --> 01:31:56,208
It's like,
"Oscar, can you just come for a meeting?"
1615
01:31:56,302 --> 01:31:57,792
"But I'm not in that..."
1616
01:31:57,887 --> 01:31:59,532
"No, I just want you to sit,
sit right there."
1617
01:31:59,556 --> 01:32:01,387
"Stand over there.”
1618
01:32:01,474 --> 01:32:03,305
That's incredible.
That's awesome.
1619
01:32:16,614 --> 01:32:18,509
We knew that
there was going to be a central fight,
1620
01:32:18,533 --> 01:32:21,821
and we wanted it to be
the saber battle of all saber battles.
1621
01:32:21,911 --> 01:32:25,950
We really started thinking about making it
as operatic as possible,
1622
01:32:26,041 --> 01:32:30,410
and sort of reducing the scene
to just them and the elements around them,
1623
01:32:30,503 --> 01:32:35,497
so that the epic quality of this duel
would be matched by the surroundings.
1624
01:32:39,471 --> 01:32:42,053
Girl, let's go. Come on. Time to go.
1625
01:32:44,893 --> 01:32:46,724
The fight felt so ferocious.
1626
01:32:47,562 --> 01:32:53,853
It needed to be really full of, like,
rage and incomprehension
1627
01:32:53,943 --> 01:32:55,228
and all of that.
1628
01:32:57,030 --> 01:33:00,488
Rey needs to go
on her own, very individual journey.
1629
01:33:00,950 --> 01:33:04,943
That side of things doesn't involve Finn,
doesn't involve Leia, doesn't involve poe,
1630
01:33:05,038 --> 01:33:06,038
no one else.
1631
01:33:06,289 --> 01:33:07,369
Rey!
1632
01:33:08,124 --> 01:33:09,124
No!
1633
01:33:11,211 --> 01:33:12,354
The thing that became more challenging is
1634
01:33:12,378 --> 01:33:14,084
we were being doused in water cannons
1635
01:33:14,172 --> 01:33:15,787
and it was November in england.
1636
01:33:15,882 --> 01:33:18,419
The water would come, I would be like...
1637
01:33:18,510 --> 01:33:21,092
"I can't breathe" kind of cold.
1638
01:33:21,679 --> 01:33:22,839
Hot water bottle.
1639
01:33:23,765 --> 01:33:26,051
It's freezing. That was fun.
1640
01:33:27,936 --> 01:33:29,580
It was really physically exhausting,
1641
01:33:29,604 --> 01:33:33,722
and we were, like,
wet and soaked and cold and on wires.
1642
01:33:33,817 --> 01:33:35,227
I loved it, you know?
1643
01:33:35,318 --> 01:33:38,810
It's like, how many times are you going to
get a chance to do that?
1644
01:33:38,905 --> 01:33:42,238
I did want to murder dom, special effects,
1645
01:33:42,325 --> 01:33:46,034
because there were a few times
where they said, "no water cannons,"
1646
01:33:46,121 --> 01:33:52,913
and when I say mid-scene,
literally a dump of water on my head.
1647
01:33:54,212 --> 01:33:57,955
I remember watching the top
of the water just starting to come over,
1648
01:33:58,591 --> 01:34:02,550
and I watched it like slow-motion
as it rained down on Daisy.
1649
01:34:03,179 --> 01:34:05,545
And the true professional that she was,
she carried on,
1650
01:34:05,640 --> 01:34:09,883
but I could see in her body that
she kind of tensed because it was cold.
1651
01:34:10,395 --> 01:34:12,681
And as the water settled
and they said, "cut,"
1652
01:34:12,772 --> 01:34:16,185
she shouted out very loudly, "Dominic!"
1653
01:34:17,235 --> 01:34:19,851
Which I didn't want to be on the set
at that moment in time.
1654
01:34:20,697 --> 01:34:24,064
But then people really thought
I was really tough after that.
1655
01:34:24,159 --> 01:34:25,928
And j.J. Was like,
"you have so much crew respect."
1656
01:34:25,952 --> 01:34:26,952
So it was great.
1657
01:34:28,204 --> 01:34:30,099
It was actually my birthday,
one of those days.
1658
01:34:30,123 --> 01:34:31,579
I don't know if that means anything.
1659
01:34:31,666 --> 01:34:34,499
It's not like I wanted to kill her more
because it was my birthday,
1660
01:34:34,586 --> 01:34:36,167
but it was really exciting.
1661
01:34:39,632 --> 01:34:43,591
Huge water cannons are shooting
how many thousands of gallons.
1662
01:34:47,390 --> 01:34:49,927
You're exhausted, you're tired.
It's like... it's great.
1663
01:34:50,018 --> 01:34:52,509
It's what you kind of hope work is.
1664
01:34:58,151 --> 01:34:59,231
Ben.
1665
01:35:14,918 --> 01:35:18,251
Kylo's journey really opened
my imagination as an actor.
1666
01:35:20,381 --> 01:35:23,043
Things had come to
almost full circle with him.
1667
01:35:23,134 --> 01:35:26,843
For the first time, someone had shown him
what I think maybe he perceived as, uh...
1668
01:35:28,181 --> 01:35:31,890
A huge act of generosity
in spite of what he had done.
1669
01:35:35,605 --> 01:35:39,189
Someone, like, kind of reached out
when no one else had for a long time.
1670
01:35:50,620 --> 01:35:51,889
I know what I have to do...
1671
01:35:51,913 --> 01:35:54,029
But I don't know if I have
the strength to do it.
1672
01:35:54,749 --> 01:36:00,745
Repeating the same exact scene from
the force awakens line by line,
1673
01:36:00,838 --> 01:36:05,673
I thought was a really beautiful way
of showing "is he real? Is he not real?"
1674
01:36:05,760 --> 01:36:10,424
"Is it a conversation that he's been
having for years in his head on repeat?"
1675
01:36:10,890 --> 01:36:11,890
You do.
1676
01:36:15,311 --> 01:36:18,223
It's both ambiguous and totally clear.
1677
01:36:20,358 --> 01:36:23,350
It's not that I wanted Han Solo to die,
1678
01:36:23,903 --> 01:36:29,864
I wanted Han Solo to be able to lend some
significant emotional weight to the story.
1679
01:36:31,077 --> 01:36:34,285
His destiny is resolved
1680
01:36:34,372 --> 01:36:38,661
in a, I hope,
a powerful and effective way.
1681
01:36:45,383 --> 01:36:47,874
The theme of redemption is important,
1682
01:36:47,969 --> 01:36:50,085
not just in star wars, but in life.
1683
01:36:50,179 --> 01:36:51,919
I mean, no one's perfect.
1684
01:36:52,515 --> 01:36:55,097
Jedis make mistakes.
1685
01:37:00,106 --> 01:37:01,312
I think it's comforting,
1686
01:37:01,399 --> 01:37:07,065
the idea that despite having done wrong,
either intentionally or unintentionally,
1687
01:37:07,530 --> 01:37:11,364
they are able to right those wrongs
and be forgiven.
1688
01:37:14,746 --> 01:37:18,659
It was probably nice for Mark
to be more like the Luke of old.
1689
01:37:19,834 --> 01:37:23,042
Which I think j.J. Felt like
he really wanted that.
1690
01:37:24,881 --> 01:37:26,917
It was nice to feel,
and even in the scene,
1691
01:37:27,008 --> 01:37:31,923
to feel really comforted that, like,
"Luke Skywalker is here."
1692
01:37:42,023 --> 01:37:43,023
That's kind of good.
1693
01:37:47,695 --> 01:37:49,902
All right.
1694
01:37:59,665 --> 01:38:02,907
I wanted to find a way to show
that Luke, even in death,
1695
01:38:03,002 --> 01:38:06,460
was a jedi master
who was helping the next generation.
1696
01:38:09,175 --> 01:38:10,361
We thought about empire strikes back
1697
01:38:10,385 --> 01:38:14,754
and how the one thing
Luke doesn't manage to do in empire
1698
01:38:14,847 --> 01:38:17,634
is raise his x-wing
out of the swamp in dagobah.
1699
01:38:18,184 --> 01:38:22,268
When we saw in episode viii
that the x-wing was under the water,
1700
01:38:23,189 --> 01:38:26,056
we thought, "well, maybe this is the way
to bring it full circle."
1701
01:38:53,719 --> 01:38:54,719
Looks good.
1702
01:38:55,763 --> 01:38:56,969
Proud moment, yes.
1703
01:39:03,938 --> 01:39:10,150
I hope that if there is any
lasting legacy of the character,
1704
01:39:10,236 --> 01:39:16,323
is the idea that you can accomplish
anything you want if you are selfless,
1705
01:39:16,409 --> 01:39:20,027
and willing to do what's right
for the greater good.
1706
01:39:21,289 --> 01:39:24,622
You know, he was a symbol of optimism,
1707
01:39:24,709 --> 01:39:29,874
and I think that's probably the most
satisfying aspect of the character.
1708
01:39:37,013 --> 01:39:41,507
He is every boy or girl
who yearns for adventure,
1709
01:39:41,601 --> 01:39:44,263
who thinks this can't be all there is.
1710
01:39:53,613 --> 01:39:55,569
When the resistance loses Leia,
1711
01:39:55,656 --> 01:40:00,992
poe finds himself inheriting a resistance
that's on the brink of collapse.
1712
01:40:02,622 --> 01:40:07,332
It's clear that Leia had been grooming him
for leadership, but what he...
1713
01:40:07,418 --> 01:40:09,955
He doesn't know
if there's anything to lead at this point.
1714
01:40:11,422 --> 01:40:14,334
That scene wasn't originally in the film.
1715
01:40:14,884 --> 01:40:18,877
And I talked to j.J. About,
"well, I think that it'd be great
1716
01:40:18,971 --> 01:40:23,055
to just see a moment
that poe has with Leia.
1717
01:40:23,142 --> 01:40:25,178
Even just a moment
for him to say goodbye."
1718
01:40:26,187 --> 01:40:29,145
That speaks to j.J.'S ability
to try things.
1719
01:40:30,775 --> 01:40:32,060
I'm not ready.
1720
01:40:32,151 --> 01:40:33,311
Neither were we.
1721
01:40:34,237 --> 01:40:36,228
And so, out of that moment of goodbye,
1722
01:40:36,322 --> 01:40:41,066
lando shows up and reminds him
about family and about friends,
1723
01:40:41,160 --> 01:40:42,775
and about not being alone.
1724
01:40:43,204 --> 01:40:44,569
We had each other.
1725
01:40:46,415 --> 01:40:47,951
We were friends.
1726
01:40:50,044 --> 01:40:54,834
It turned into this catalyst for,
"you know what? We still have a shot."
1727
01:40:57,760 --> 01:41:03,972
Something as large as star wars,
which is a very complicated movie,
1728
01:41:04,058 --> 01:41:10,270
it really needs a lot of people,
all working together to make it happen.
1729
01:41:10,356 --> 01:41:13,519
The ending,
the last couple of reels of this movie...
1730
01:41:13,609 --> 01:41:17,693
The number of people who are involved
1731
01:41:17,780 --> 01:41:23,366
in getting those parts of the story
to work,
1732
01:41:24,203 --> 01:41:25,488
and to make sense,
1733
01:41:25,580 --> 01:41:31,701
and to feel revelatory and believable...
1734
01:41:31,794 --> 01:41:35,412
And...
There are so many people involved.
1735
01:41:38,175 --> 01:41:41,713
We're all in this together,
and it feels like a real team,
1736
01:41:41,804 --> 01:41:43,419
like kind of like the way star wars is.
1737
01:41:44,557 --> 01:41:47,077
You feel like you are working
on something bigger than yourself.
1738
01:41:47,643 --> 01:41:49,804
You want to respect what's come before.
1739
01:41:50,646 --> 01:41:54,013
Working towards
that blend of legacy and new.
1740
01:41:55,276 --> 01:41:57,938
We strive to have a great balance
of those two things.
1741
01:41:59,822 --> 01:42:03,280
The balance of the force is never
a permanent, enduring thing,
1742
01:42:06,454 --> 01:42:09,116
so the idea that this is
a story of a character
1743
01:42:09,206 --> 01:42:12,619
who needs to step up
and bring balance in her own way.
1744
01:42:15,671 --> 01:42:18,162
If you had asked me, you know,
in the middle of doing v7,
1745
01:42:18,257 --> 01:42:19,747
"where would we go with Rey?"
1746
01:42:19,842 --> 01:42:22,333
I would say
"the headlines would be exactly the same."
1747
01:42:26,474 --> 01:42:28,339
As we needed our sith throne,
1748
01:42:28,434 --> 01:42:32,894
I'd always been very fascinated by this
wonderful sketch that Ralph mcquarrie did.
1749
01:42:32,980 --> 01:42:34,345
It felt like a spiky shadow
1750
01:42:34,440 --> 01:42:38,854
emerging from the back of a conversation
between the emperor and vader.
1751
01:42:38,944 --> 01:42:39,944
The big question was,
1752
01:42:40,029 --> 01:42:43,069
"how do you turn a black pencil drawing
that is one-and-a-half inches across,
1753
01:42:43,157 --> 01:42:47,400
a silhouette,
into a throne that's its own thing?"
1754
01:42:47,912 --> 01:42:50,494
Because it was done
in a two-dimensional pencil sketch,
1755
01:42:50,581 --> 01:42:53,323
what if there was another
thing that came out here even?
1756
01:42:53,417 --> 01:42:55,617
Like, it started to feel like
it wasn't completely flat.
1757
01:42:56,170 --> 01:42:57,956
Most of these things are rather hazy.
1758
01:42:58,422 --> 01:43:02,165
They just feel right sometimes,
and sometimes they don't.
1759
01:43:02,259 --> 01:43:04,966
So you just keep fiddling
until they start to feel right.
1760
01:43:05,554 --> 01:43:10,423
What if there is kind of bits doing that,
maybe in the ground near it and up there.
1761
01:43:10,518 --> 01:43:14,761
The throne envelopes around you
to make it feel like it's grabbing her.
1762
01:43:18,109 --> 01:43:20,816
The hope at the beginning of the film
that Sidious articulates
1763
01:43:20,903 --> 01:43:23,189
is that the dyad would come together
on the dark side,
1764
01:43:23,280 --> 01:43:25,396
but the reversal is that
the dyad does come together,
1765
01:43:25,491 --> 01:43:27,652
and it is as powerful as we expected,
1766
01:43:27,743 --> 01:43:30,200
but they come together
on the side of the light.
1767
01:43:30,287 --> 01:43:32,744
One of the surprises
and delights for me personally,
1768
01:43:32,832 --> 01:43:35,574
is seeing
Adam get to play Ben in this film.
1769
01:43:35,668 --> 01:43:38,626
The great tragedy is that we don't
have him for very long in the story,
1770
01:43:38,713 --> 01:43:42,205
but when you do, you know,
you just feel the potential that,
1771
01:43:42,299 --> 01:43:44,255
you know, the person
that he could have been.
1772
01:43:48,681 --> 01:43:52,845
Before, either someone who has
the absence of hope,
1773
01:43:52,935 --> 01:43:57,429
and the thing that we started with for
"who is Ben, then?"
1774
01:43:57,523 --> 01:43:59,229
Is someone who has hope.
1775
01:43:59,316 --> 01:44:00,316
7wo, one.
1776
01:44:00,401 --> 01:44:03,188
There's no more ambiguity
about what it is that he has to do.
1777
01:44:03,279 --> 01:44:04,985
There's no more seesaw that's happening.
1778
01:44:08,576 --> 01:44:10,988
For the first time, someone
who has never had the answer
1779
01:44:11,078 --> 01:44:13,410
now finally knows his purpose or destiny.
1780
01:44:17,376 --> 01:44:20,743
He has to let her know
that they're together.
1781
01:44:20,838 --> 01:44:24,126
But I don't know that he entirely is sure
of what's going to happen from there,
1782
01:44:24,216 --> 01:44:25,626
nor do I think he cares.
1783
01:44:25,718 --> 01:44:29,051
I think it's so long as he is with her,
he is on the right path.
1784
01:44:32,767 --> 01:44:35,429
Leia's jedi trial happens in episode ix.
1785
01:44:37,271 --> 01:44:41,685
The end of her path as a jedi is fulfilled
when her son turns back to the light.
1786
01:44:54,914 --> 01:44:56,575
We had this crazy idea
1787
01:44:56,665 --> 01:45:00,533
about doing a cavalry ground invasion
on a star destroyer's surface.
1788
01:45:01,086 --> 01:45:02,166
That's so cool.
1789
01:45:02,254 --> 01:45:07,044
So our challenge is how to
make 300 feet worth of a star destroyer
1790
01:45:07,134 --> 01:45:11,093
that we can have two armies fighting on
and a cavalry charge with horses.
1791
01:45:11,180 --> 01:45:12,716
Wow, is that amazing.
1792
01:45:12,807 --> 01:45:15,219
That is crazy.
1793
01:45:15,309 --> 01:45:17,721
- No, but it's really insane.
- I know.
1794
01:45:17,812 --> 01:45:20,394
'Cause we could do a cool thing
where we pull them down,
1795
01:45:20,481 --> 01:45:21,891
and have our characters slide,
1796
01:45:21,982 --> 01:45:25,395
and then land on a vertical thing
that's now more horizontal.
1797
01:45:25,986 --> 01:45:27,714
At that point they're just
kind of standing on something.
1798
01:45:27,738 --> 01:45:30,195
At a certain point they'll jump off
onto a platform...
1799
01:45:30,282 --> 01:45:33,069
- Three, two, one, go!
- That's meant to be the falcon.
1800
01:45:36,163 --> 01:45:37,903
Ready, and now!
1801
01:45:38,999 --> 01:45:43,914
The idea of having
humans and human-sized creatures
1802
01:45:44,004 --> 01:45:46,120
ground-invading a star destroyer
1803
01:45:46,215 --> 01:45:49,799
was too much fun an idea not to try.
1804
01:45:50,302 --> 01:45:53,294
So, we've been doing a lot of
dynamic movements
1805
01:45:54,098 --> 01:45:55,759
on this lovely beast here.
1806
01:45:55,850 --> 01:45:57,841
It's like ballet on top of an orbak.
1807
01:45:57,935 --> 01:45:59,300
Boom!
1808
01:45:59,395 --> 01:46:01,306
Perfect. Yeah, that's it.
1809
01:46:01,397 --> 01:46:03,934
You're just going to drop that left knee
to the ground.
1810
01:46:04,024 --> 01:46:06,140
Yeah, and then go for a grab on the knee.
1811
01:46:06,235 --> 01:46:10,023
I've never gotten shot before in a movie,
so we'll see how it goes.
1812
01:46:13,784 --> 01:46:14,864
Bang!
1813
01:46:14,952 --> 01:46:16,763
- More importantly, after she gets shot...
- I'm not.
1814
01:46:16,787 --> 01:46:18,181
- She screams "beaumont."
- Igo, "beaumont!"
1815
01:46:18,205 --> 01:46:19,786
"Beaumont!" "beaumont!"
1816
01:46:19,874 --> 01:46:21,159
Come on. Cover me. Cover me.
1817
01:46:22,835 --> 01:46:23,835
Come on!
1818
01:46:24,295 --> 01:46:25,689
He's been trying
to get his name in the movie.
1819
01:46:25,713 --> 01:46:27,795
- It's important!
- I'm trying to get a doll.
1820
01:46:27,882 --> 01:46:29,734
- He's trying to get a name. We'll get it.
- It's important.
1821
01:46:29,758 --> 01:46:32,340
- I'll cover you.
- Ready and bang!
1822
01:46:32,428 --> 01:46:33,864
I always wanted this to happen.
1823
01:46:33,888 --> 01:46:37,631
I always wanted there to be
some form of a stormtrooper rebellion,
1824
01:46:37,725 --> 01:46:40,637
which is something
that I was quite interested in since I///.
1825
01:46:40,728 --> 01:46:43,094
And it felt like j.J.
Was going towards that anyway.
1826
01:46:44,690 --> 01:46:47,306
It's gonna be sick.
1827
01:46:47,401 --> 01:46:49,296
So it feels good to finally be here.
To be on the horses.
1828
01:46:49,320 --> 01:46:51,080
We've been training for this
for a long time.
1829
01:46:52,489 --> 01:46:55,071
I'm on the ground,
making sure I blow everything up.
1830
01:46:55,159 --> 01:46:55,989
Poe's in the sky.
1831
01:46:56,076 --> 01:46:57,282
Poe, air strike please.
1832
01:47:01,832 --> 01:47:04,744
Here we go, here we go. And action!
1833
01:47:05,336 --> 01:47:07,793
All wings, cover that lander!
1834
01:47:07,880 --> 01:47:09,461
Watch those two on your tail!
1835
01:47:13,135 --> 01:47:14,966
What really excited me on v//
1836
01:47:15,054 --> 01:47:21,425
was the idea that we would put cameras,
fixed cameras on cg x-wings.
1837
01:47:24,813 --> 01:47:27,930
Because if you really had an x-wing,
what would you do?
1838
01:47:28,025 --> 01:47:31,563
You'd mount the camera possibly on a wing
and you'd fly around,
1839
01:47:31,654 --> 01:47:35,897
sort of recreating a practical way
of photographing something,
1840
01:47:35,991 --> 01:47:37,356
but inside the computer.
1841
01:47:40,412 --> 01:47:41,492
Incoming ties!
1842
01:47:41,580 --> 01:47:42,911
Flying along. Good and good.
1843
01:47:42,998 --> 01:47:44,113
Incoming ties.
1844
01:47:44,208 --> 01:47:46,324
And when I showed it to some of the guys
1845
01:47:46,418 --> 01:47:48,204
that had worked on the original movies,
1846
01:47:48,295 --> 01:47:50,536
they were excited
about what we were doing.
1847
01:47:50,631 --> 01:47:51,962
Just keep doing the controls.
1848
01:47:52,049 --> 01:47:53,505
What can we do against these things?
1849
01:47:53,592 --> 01:47:55,958
They were saying that
they were actually trying to do that
1850
01:47:56,053 --> 01:47:57,418
when they were making /v.
1851
01:48:00,307 --> 01:48:01,422
Red two, standing by.
1852
01:48:02,184 --> 01:48:04,220
It's so funny and nice to come back to it.
1853
01:48:04,311 --> 01:48:08,350
I was looking for
a kind of sailor's outfit like an admiral.
1854
01:48:09,441 --> 01:48:11,477
It's down to the orange jumpsuit again.
1855
01:48:13,153 --> 01:48:14,939
Look at the size of that thing.
1856
01:48:15,030 --> 01:48:17,237
- Mr. denis Lawson. Legend!
- Thank you.
1857
01:48:17,324 --> 01:48:19,610
They didn't have a miniature
that was big enough
1858
01:48:19,702 --> 01:48:21,067
because, obviously with miniatures
1859
01:48:21,161 --> 01:48:23,573
you have an issue
with physically, the size of the camera.
1860
01:48:25,207 --> 01:48:28,165
You got two black people
leading the cavalry.
1861
01:48:28,252 --> 01:48:30,743
Which is something you don't see
in every single feature film.
1862
01:48:30,838 --> 01:48:32,499
- At all.
- So, for me and Naomi,
1863
01:48:32,589 --> 01:48:34,625
we are definitely, we have that in mind.
1864
01:48:34,717 --> 01:48:36,277
- And this is a passionate moment for us.
- Yeah.
1865
01:48:36,301 --> 01:48:39,543
Seeing a black man and a black woman
leading the cavalry of heroes.
1866
01:48:39,638 --> 01:48:41,157
- Yeah, to save the day.
- I'm proud.
1867
01:48:41,181 --> 01:48:42,181
- Me too.
- I'm proud.
1868
01:48:47,604 --> 01:48:49,140
We've done a lot of work, isn't it?
1869
01:48:49,690 --> 01:48:51,305
Hey! Hey.
1870
01:48:51,859 --> 01:48:53,169
It's been a joy working with her.
1871
01:48:53,193 --> 01:48:55,434
We always have a good time.
Always good conversation.
1872
01:48:55,529 --> 01:48:57,520
Probably singing and dancing
half of the time.
1873
01:48:59,324 --> 01:49:01,406
You know, chilling,
talking about chicken and chips,
1874
01:49:01,493 --> 01:49:03,213
and the next second
you're saving the world.
1875
01:49:08,917 --> 01:49:11,704
It's definitely the underdogs,
the little guys...
1876
01:49:13,338 --> 01:49:17,081
And certainly a different thing
than the ewoks on endor.
1877
01:49:17,968 --> 01:49:19,404
We've got our new stormtroopers in red.
1878
01:49:19,428 --> 01:49:20,864
This is the first time
that I'm actually seeing them,
1879
01:49:20,888 --> 01:49:21,798
which is really, really cool.
1880
01:49:21,889 --> 01:49:24,380
The idea that people of human scale
1881
01:49:24,475 --> 01:49:27,763
can undo a machine of impossible scale
1882
01:49:27,853 --> 01:49:31,095
definitely feels
like it's a theme of the series.
1883
01:49:34,526 --> 01:49:39,111
Each character on exegol
is really facing their greatest challenge.
1884
01:49:42,034 --> 01:49:44,320
Teamwork.
Teamwork is a big thing with this.
1885
01:49:44,828 --> 01:49:47,945
And so it takes great courage
for Rey even to enter that place.
1886
01:49:51,085 --> 01:49:52,541
Similarly, it takes great courage
1887
01:49:52,628 --> 01:49:56,462
for poe to face off against the most
dizzying array of star destroyers.
1888
01:49:59,301 --> 01:50:03,886
And great courage for Finn
to go off that troop carrier and charge,
1889
01:50:03,972 --> 01:50:05,742
you know,
onto the surface of a star destroyer.
1890
01:50:05,766 --> 01:50:06,766
Watch this.
1891
01:50:06,850 --> 01:50:08,761
This is gonna trip you out,
I'm telling you.
1892
01:50:09,520 --> 01:50:11,351
Okay, here we go.
1893
01:50:29,456 --> 01:50:31,287
This set is absolutely amazing.
1894
01:50:33,627 --> 01:50:36,369
I'm glad that, as an actor,
I can come on and see the environment,
1895
01:50:36,463 --> 01:50:38,419
be in the environment,
and interact with it.
1896
01:50:43,720 --> 01:50:45,130
It just makes this very, very real.
1897
01:50:47,432 --> 01:50:49,764
Just running away from an explosion.
1898
01:50:50,978 --> 01:50:52,969
Just a little run,
with an explosion behind us.
1899
01:51:03,240 --> 01:51:06,357
Ooh! It's almost like
as soon as the explosion happens...
1900
01:51:06,827 --> 01:51:08,192
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1901
01:51:12,916 --> 01:51:14,676
Through to the finish.
Through to the finish.
1902
01:51:19,673 --> 01:51:20,733
You know what it is”?
1903
01:51:20,757 --> 01:51:23,920
It's 'cause we've got all the extras there
who are really going for it.
1904
01:51:24,970 --> 01:51:26,447
It's looking great. It's looking great.
1905
01:51:26,471 --> 01:51:28,867
Once the crew kind of disappears
and then, kind of, the shot starts,
1906
01:51:28,891 --> 01:51:31,257
- you feel like you're just there.
- You just go for it.
1907
01:51:35,606 --> 01:51:37,722
- John Williams music.
- Proper star wars.
1908
01:51:49,745 --> 01:51:51,076
I felt that.
1909
01:51:51,163 --> 01:51:52,265
- I felt it.
- You gotta see this.
1910
01:51:52,289 --> 01:51:55,656
This is unbelievable. No, no.
You have to look at this. It's so good.
1911
01:51:55,751 --> 01:51:57,833
Just watch this. This is nuts.
1912
01:51:57,920 --> 01:52:00,536
So, look, I mean,
the whole thing is crazy.
1913
01:52:00,631 --> 01:52:02,622
You see that? Yes.
1914
01:52:03,842 --> 01:52:07,460
- Come on!
- Come on, yeah!
1915
01:52:07,554 --> 01:52:09,234
- The take we'd just done before...
- Yeah.
1916
01:52:09,306 --> 01:52:11,672
We stopped and we were just like, "whoo!"
1917
01:52:12,559 --> 01:52:13,559
Let's go again.
1918
01:52:13,644 --> 01:52:14,474
It's always a funny thing,
1919
01:52:14,561 --> 01:52:17,428
working with people
who you like as much as these people.
1920
01:52:17,522 --> 01:52:18,762
The day is done.
1921
01:52:18,857 --> 01:52:21,394
It is a bit like being in a family.
1922
01:52:21,485 --> 01:52:23,976
But it's really a bit like being a parent.
1923
01:52:24,071 --> 01:52:25,902
Seriously.
1924
01:52:25,989 --> 01:52:27,759
You ideally love
the people that you're with...
1925
01:52:27,783 --> 01:52:28,989
And then your kids go away.
1926
01:52:29,076 --> 01:52:31,863
Thanks for an amazing job. All of you...
1927
01:52:54,601 --> 01:52:58,389
J.j. And I were having
a lot of trouble with the end of the film
1928
01:52:58,480 --> 01:52:59,720
at one point in the process.
1929
01:52:59,815 --> 01:53:02,352
And Rick Carter said to us,
1930
01:53:02,442 --> 01:53:05,605
"I think it's because you two
don't want star wars to be over."
1931
01:53:05,696 --> 01:53:07,382
You don't want
the Skywalker saga to be over,
1932
01:53:07,406 --> 01:53:09,488
so you don't really want to write it.
1933
01:53:09,574 --> 01:53:11,735
And I think
there was a lot of truth in that.
1934
01:53:12,202 --> 01:53:14,659
You run in and you're like, "Chewie!"
1935
01:53:19,293 --> 01:53:21,454
Put her down. And then we do a group hug.
1936
01:53:21,545 --> 01:53:23,126
Yes!
1937
01:53:23,213 --> 01:53:25,829
I'm a little bit in shock
that we're about to wrap.
1938
01:53:25,924 --> 01:53:28,961
I feel so grateful and lucky
that we've gotten this far,
1939
01:53:29,052 --> 01:53:30,883
that our crew is so extraordinary,
1940
01:53:30,971 --> 01:53:32,657
and to see
what they've been able to achieve.
1941
01:53:32,681 --> 01:53:36,674
And it's just getting sad to think
about parting ways and saying goodbye.
1942
01:53:37,936 --> 01:53:40,678
Background. Action.
1943
01:53:43,066 --> 01:53:44,556
Chewie!
1944
01:53:45,861 --> 01:53:49,319
I had the day off work,
so I came to visit my friend j.J. Abrams,
1945
01:53:50,490 --> 01:53:52,947
and now we've won a rebellion.
1946
01:53:55,871 --> 01:53:58,863
The fact that we are getting to
the end definitely is bittersweet.
1947
01:53:58,957 --> 01:53:59,997
And cut. Very nice.
1948
01:54:00,042 --> 01:54:05,162
Not getting to work with these
people day after day, that will hurt.
1949
01:54:05,839 --> 01:54:09,423
But I feel lucky that I've gotten to come
back to work on this again at all.
1950
01:54:09,509 --> 01:54:10,999
I mean, every day I've been here
1951
01:54:11,094 --> 01:54:15,258
has been a professional
and personal gift of a lifetime.
1952
01:54:19,227 --> 01:54:24,597
To feel like I am a real part of
this long, beautiful lineage,
1953
01:54:24,691 --> 01:54:27,398
and a part of concluding that story,
1954
01:54:27,486 --> 01:54:31,525
has been surprising
and completely fulfilling and so profound.
1955
01:54:34,951 --> 01:54:37,991
I got to do a scene with Kelly
just right now at the end of the movie
1956
01:54:38,038 --> 01:54:40,745
where it's kind of like my life.
1957
01:54:40,832 --> 01:54:43,995
Like, things have kind of fallen apart
a little bit,
1958
01:54:44,086 --> 01:54:45,086
but we're still here.
1959
01:54:45,170 --> 01:54:49,709
And it's still important that we're here,
even though we miss our loved ones.
1960
01:54:49,800 --> 01:54:52,462
And it's kind of like
a perfect scene for me to do.
1961
01:54:55,305 --> 01:54:56,385
That's nice.
1962
01:54:56,473 --> 01:54:58,964
We're having a full moment.
1963
01:54:59,059 --> 01:55:02,426
This was so magical. I love Kelly so much,
and it was such...
1964
01:55:03,355 --> 01:55:05,596
- Oh, my god, that was so weird!
- What up!
1965
01:55:05,690 --> 01:55:06,770
Did you just cue her?
1966
01:55:06,858 --> 01:55:08,538
Dude, I literally was like,
"I love Kelly."
1967
01:55:08,568 --> 01:55:10,338
- They said, "what's the best moment?"
- Aw, shut up.
1968
01:55:10,362 --> 01:55:12,318
And I was like,
"it's this moment right now."
1969
01:55:12,406 --> 01:55:13,771
That's so sweet.
1970
01:55:20,956 --> 01:55:23,789
It really does feel like the culmination
1971
01:55:23,875 --> 01:55:27,618
of six years of my life, just...
1972
01:55:27,712 --> 01:55:28,712
It's weird.
1973
01:55:28,797 --> 01:55:30,913
And then you stop
and you see her and then you...
1974
01:55:31,007 --> 01:55:34,124
And when Finn sees, you go like this,
and then you guys head off, you know?
1975
01:55:34,219 --> 01:55:35,334
You guys come together...
1976
01:55:35,846 --> 01:55:38,616
I was going through it thinking,
"could I have done anything differently?"
1977
01:55:38,640 --> 01:55:40,426
But I know I've put the work in.
1978
01:55:40,517 --> 01:55:42,929
Like, I could not have worked harder.
1979
01:55:43,019 --> 01:55:45,180
I don't think
I could have enjoyed it any more either.
1980
01:55:45,272 --> 01:55:46,603
Roll camera.
1981
01:55:46,690 --> 01:55:47,770
Sound speed.
1982
01:55:49,025 --> 01:55:50,345
Here we go, here we go.
1983
01:55:50,402 --> 01:55:51,437
Set and...
1984
01:55:52,529 --> 01:55:56,363
Everybody, celebration! Background!
1985
01:55:56,450 --> 01:55:57,890
The most heartwarming thing
1986
01:55:57,951 --> 01:56:02,035
is the collaboration within these studios
and these sets and the crew.
1987
01:56:02,122 --> 01:56:04,488
You make friends who become family.
1988
01:56:04,583 --> 01:56:08,747
And that's something for me
that's just a big major thing to let go.
1989
01:56:08,837 --> 01:56:11,954
'Cause, you know,
it doesn't just represent the story,
1990
01:56:12,048 --> 01:56:15,256
it also does put an end
to a kind of season in our lives.
1991
01:56:28,356 --> 01:56:31,348
Thank you so much
for all of your work and your Patience
1992
01:56:31,443 --> 01:56:36,528
and your focus and your dedication
and the honesty and the camaraderie.
1993
01:56:36,615 --> 01:56:41,234
I mean, all of it means, like,
you are this family.
1994
01:56:41,328 --> 01:56:43,488
I cannot thank you enough,
from the bottom of my heart.
1995
01:56:46,291 --> 01:56:48,247
That's a wrap! Thank you very much!
1996
01:56:53,548 --> 01:56:57,416
The analogy to me is graduation, you know?
1997
01:56:57,511 --> 01:56:59,877
It's like being in your senior year,
1998
01:56:59,971 --> 01:57:03,759
you're glad that you're finishing
1999
01:57:03,850 --> 01:57:07,342
but savoring every moment
because you know it is the last.
2000
01:57:12,776 --> 01:57:14,391
It's been a really fun project
2001
01:57:14,486 --> 01:57:18,399
to bring Luke Skywalker's home
back to life here in pinewood studios.
2002
01:57:20,283 --> 01:57:23,275
J.j. Was really keen
to be faithful to the originals
2003
01:57:23,370 --> 01:57:24,985
and to have nice callbacks to them.
2004
01:57:26,581 --> 01:57:31,075
There's a famous shot of Luke sort of
leaning over and talking to his aunt,
2005
01:57:32,212 --> 01:57:35,329
and we want to try
and get that same callback
2006
01:57:35,423 --> 01:57:37,755
with Rey looking in over the shoulder.
2007
01:57:41,096 --> 01:57:42,552
I don't like this.
2008
01:57:44,015 --> 01:57:46,631
- You're gonna love it.
- I don't like it, eunice.
2009
01:57:46,726 --> 01:57:49,468
I'm not naturally
a hugely adventurous person.
2010
01:57:50,272 --> 01:57:52,684
I defeated the dark lord,
isn't that enough?
2011
01:57:54,067 --> 01:57:57,855
It takes me a long time to get over things
in general. Fear, in general.
2012
01:57:59,739 --> 01:58:03,857
- I really don't like it.
- You'll be all right.
2013
01:58:03,952 --> 01:58:05,817
I can't do it.
2014
01:58:05,912 --> 01:58:08,654
I really don't like it.
2015
01:58:09,291 --> 01:58:12,579
- That's it.
- With everything you just did on that set,
2016
01:58:12,669 --> 01:58:14,375
you're scared of that?
2017
01:58:14,462 --> 01:58:17,249
Behind the scenes,
don't never show that bit!
2018
01:58:17,340 --> 01:58:18,705
Never show that!
2019
01:58:19,384 --> 01:58:21,295
This is horrible.
2020
01:58:21,386 --> 01:58:23,877
Eunice came up and made a point,
2021
01:58:23,972 --> 01:58:27,009
which is,
this is how we met Rey. On a sled.
2022
01:58:27,100 --> 01:58:31,139
Obviously, I'd thought about it,
but not really the cyclical thing
2023
01:58:31,229 --> 01:58:33,470
of starting and ending
a story in the same way.
2024
01:58:35,859 --> 01:58:39,101
You know, it's genuinely
amazing to see this,
2025
01:58:39,195 --> 01:58:41,982
it didn't have a blaster hole in it
the first time.
2026
01:58:43,450 --> 01:58:46,283
This was the first set I ever saw,
out in Tunisia,
2027
01:58:47,662 --> 01:58:50,028
and now here we are at the end of it all.
2028
01:58:50,624 --> 01:58:56,915
And I gotta say, mm, kinda, a little bit,
uh, not sad, wistful, I suppose.
2029
01:58:58,340 --> 01:59:01,277
We thought we'd finish off
star wars exactly as it's supposed to be.
2030
01:59:01,301 --> 01:59:05,169
Miniatures. Tatooine. The whole thing.
2031
01:59:05,263 --> 01:59:07,491
- They look back.
- And then back to the fire.
2032
01:59:07,515 --> 01:59:10,382
- Brought focus back to the...
- Copy, yeah. Understood.
2033
01:59:10,477 --> 01:59:12,934
Okay, guys. Go on again.
When you're ready.
2034
01:59:13,021 --> 01:59:15,478
The giant track and the jawas next to it.
2035
01:59:18,943 --> 01:59:21,150
Everything is summed up in those moments.
2036
01:59:21,237 --> 01:59:24,855
And it's part of this bookending
what started so long ago.
2037
01:59:28,119 --> 01:59:31,031
You wanna make sure you're ending
the Skywalker saga
2038
01:59:31,122 --> 01:59:35,365
in a way that feels fitting and emotional
and gratifying, you know?
2039
01:59:35,460 --> 01:59:40,420
The end of this saga has to feel
surprising, but also inevitable.
2040
01:59:40,507 --> 01:59:44,716
When you look through it again, you think
"of course that's how it had to end."
2041
01:59:44,803 --> 01:59:47,169
"Of course that's where
these characters had to go."
2042
01:59:47,263 --> 01:59:49,629
"Of course that's how
we had to leave this galaxy."
2043
01:59:55,772 --> 02:00:00,311
It is incredibly surreal to work
on a star wars movie at all.
2044
02:00:00,402 --> 02:00:01,892
To work on a star wars movie
2045
02:00:01,986 --> 02:00:04,853
where you're recreating the homestead
where Luke was raised
2046
02:00:04,948 --> 02:00:09,988
and, you know, on Tatooine
is obviously as surreal as anything.
2047
02:00:10,537 --> 02:00:12,493
It's going right to Luke's...
2048
02:00:13,081 --> 02:00:15,697
Yeah, but also look. Double.
See the other one.
2049
02:00:16,751 --> 02:00:17,831
It's crazy, isn't it”?
2050
02:00:19,546 --> 02:00:21,753
The idea that Rey is there,
2051
02:00:23,133 --> 02:00:26,296
it feels like, despite everything
that we've seen her go through
2052
02:00:26,386 --> 02:00:27,796
and all we've done,
2053
02:00:27,887 --> 02:00:32,881
there is something about that, that feels
primal and inevitable and really lovely.
2054
02:00:37,313 --> 02:00:40,100
I think star wars,
uniquely in its mythology,
2055
02:00:40,191 --> 02:00:44,651
is about cycles of life
and teachers, mentors, parents, children.
2056
02:00:44,738 --> 02:00:47,354
It's got that generational aspect to it.
2057
02:00:48,283 --> 02:00:50,820
There is this idea
of the handing on of sabers
2058
02:00:50,910 --> 02:00:53,026
and the handing on of a jedi legacy.
2059
02:00:53,121 --> 02:00:54,952
And so we have that, I think,
2060
02:00:55,039 --> 02:00:58,952
as a generation that has inherited
the characters and the stories.
2061
02:00:59,043 --> 02:01:02,877
Just like in star wars, it's a privilege
and it's a responsibility.
2062
02:01:03,381 --> 02:01:05,963
Take your saber. Look at it.
2063
02:01:09,929 --> 02:01:11,965
Doing it felt really emotional.
2064
02:01:12,056 --> 02:01:14,638
'Cause it's, like, a lovely,
emotional thing anyway.
2065
02:01:14,726 --> 02:01:16,808
And it's uplifting and it's a proper end.
2066
02:01:16,895 --> 02:01:19,136
Like, it is a story end.
2067
02:01:19,230 --> 02:01:22,814
It's not "tune in for the next episode”
sort of thing.
2068
02:01:25,278 --> 02:01:26,734
Rey Skywalker.
2069
02:01:33,411 --> 02:01:34,651
Cut.
2070
02:01:41,252 --> 02:01:44,210
That was great, dais. Beautiful.
2071
02:01:45,507 --> 02:01:47,668
God.
2072
02:01:47,759 --> 02:01:48,874
Come on.
2073
02:01:53,890 --> 02:01:57,633
I think everybody recognizes
that there are giants
2074
02:01:57,727 --> 02:01:59,388
whose shoulders they're standing on,
2075
02:01:59,479 --> 02:02:04,974
and a story that's informing
who these characters are.
2076
02:02:05,068 --> 02:02:06,524
My young jedi.
2077
02:02:07,779 --> 02:02:11,021
I like these films,
I like that I was there.
2078
02:02:12,408 --> 02:02:15,571
We all realized that it would take
more of these films
2079
02:02:15,662 --> 02:02:17,653
to bring the story full circle.
2080
02:02:18,540 --> 02:02:22,203
To see, not just my character,
but every last character
2081
02:02:22,293 --> 02:02:25,000
that you're been introduced to
since the very beginning
2082
02:02:25,547 --> 02:02:27,162
find their destiny.
2083
02:02:27,257 --> 02:02:29,748
It's exactly how it had to be.
2084
02:02:33,179 --> 02:02:35,115
It just goes by so quickly once they're in
2085
02:02:35,139 --> 02:02:36,504
and getting the shots and stuff.
2086
02:02:36,599 --> 02:02:38,214
Then it's all still again afterwards.
2087
02:02:39,394 --> 02:02:40,394
Which is sad.
2088
02:02:42,313 --> 02:02:43,313
Yeah.
2089
02:02:44,649 --> 02:02:48,642
Yeah it's kind of sad
that we have to tear it down.
2090
02:02:48,736 --> 02:02:52,194
That's the thing about movies,
I'm always like,
2091
02:02:52,282 --> 02:02:56,116
"really, we built this amazing thing
and now we have to tear it down."
2092
02:02:58,997 --> 02:03:01,704
Well, the last time. Ever.
2093
02:03:05,128 --> 02:03:07,460
No, this is the last shot.
2094
02:03:08,673 --> 02:03:11,289
Last shot for threepio. Last shot for me.
2095
02:03:11,384 --> 02:03:13,249
So ends 44 years.
2096
02:05:27,186 --> 02:05:32,601
When the actors came in,
we would measure their heights.
2097
02:05:33,109 --> 02:05:37,648
So they would stand by the door,
and we would put a little...
2098
02:05:37,739 --> 02:05:39,400
And then put their initials.
2099
02:05:40,033 --> 02:05:44,402
There's Daisy, Alden from solo.
2100
02:05:45,163 --> 02:05:47,870
So I don't know who gets this door
now that we're going to be...
2101
02:05:47,957 --> 02:05:50,039
Here is Donald glover...
2102
02:05:50,835 --> 02:05:51,835
Uh...
2103
02:05:53,129 --> 02:05:57,168
I'm looking for... Carrie Fisher.
2104
02:06:01,846 --> 02:06:03,336
Pretty amazing door.
