Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:14,375 --> 00:00:15,416
One B. Take one.
2
00:00:19,375 --> 00:00:22,291
This is probably
one of your first roles
3
00:00:22,375 --> 00:00:24,916
in a strictly fantasy-type film.
4
00:00:25,666 --> 00:00:30,291
Do you feel that it has presented
any particular challenges to you?
5
00:00:30,750 --> 00:00:32,666
Challenge from top to bottom.
6
00:00:36,208 --> 00:00:40,458
Now, I've never done anything remotely
to do with science fiction before.
7
00:00:41,500 --> 00:00:45,708
But then, as I see it, this has nothing
to do with past, present, or future.
8
00:00:46,500 --> 00:00:49,666
Star Wars
could be
in any of those areas.
9
00:00:52,583 --> 00:00:57,625
George Lucas suggested to me
something of a samurai warrior,
10
00:00:59,333 --> 00:01:03,000
something of a wise man,
a kind of monk-like character.
11
00:01:06,083 --> 00:01:07,666
You've got to be rooting for someone
12
00:01:07,750 --> 00:01:09,875
and I think you certainly are
in this picture.
13
00:01:15,416 --> 00:01:16,416
Hello there.
14
00:01:19,291 --> 00:01:22,291
Come here, my little friend.
Don't be afraid.
15
00:01:25,375 --> 00:01:27,291
I remember clearly the first time
16
00:01:27,375 --> 00:01:29,708
I saw Star Wars.
I was five or six.
17
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,333
I came from this very small town
in Scotland and, me and my brother,
18
00:01:34,416 --> 00:01:37,166
we went to the big city to watch it.
19
00:01:37,625 --> 00:01:39,625
We didn't really know what it was, or...
20
00:01:40,458 --> 00:01:43,375
That it was
Star Wars, you know.
21
00:01:43,666 --> 00:01:45,958
And then I watched it a billion times.
22
00:01:47,041 --> 00:01:50,625
When we got a video player,
we watched it over and over and over.
23
00:01:50,833 --> 00:01:52,666
We knew every single line of it.
24
00:01:52,916 --> 00:01:55,500
We watched it till it was
just colors on the screen.
25
00:01:55,583 --> 00:01:57,000
It was so worn out, you know.
26
00:01:58,208 --> 00:02:01,083
And Alec Guinness, of course,
I didn't know his work.
27
00:02:01,166 --> 00:02:04,083
I was only a kid.
But I knew him as Obi-Wan Kenobi,
28
00:02:04,458 --> 00:02:09,000
and he's this iconic, legendary character.
29
00:02:09,083 --> 00:02:13,916
If you strike me down, I shall become more
powerful than you can possibly imagine.
30
00:02:14,416 --> 00:02:17,208
By the time I was nine,
I'd decided I wanted to be an actor.
31
00:02:17,291 --> 00:02:20,125
And I just... I wondered at his career.
32
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,208
Then when I got cast as Obi-Wan Kenobi,
33
00:02:23,291 --> 00:02:26,708
I tried to watch as many films as I could
of him as a young man.
34
00:02:26,791 --> 00:02:29,041
To try and imagine him
as a younger person.
35
00:02:29,708 --> 00:02:31,041
This series is special
36
00:02:31,125 --> 00:02:34,041
because it's a character
that I loved playing back in the day
37
00:02:35,083 --> 00:02:36,625
and I get the chance to do it again.
38
00:02:45,416 --> 00:02:46,684
Good morning, everyone!
39
00:02:46,708 --> 00:02:49,500
Now, welcome to our first official day.
40
00:02:53,541 --> 00:02:56,333
This is also
our first official day with Ewan,
41
00:02:56,416 --> 00:03:01,291
who not only is Obi-Wan Kenobi but is
also a producer and a partner on the show.
42
00:03:01,500 --> 00:03:04,291
Yeah. Thank you so much.
It's been a long time...
43
00:03:04,375 --> 00:03:06,684
- It's been a long time coming to this.
- Yeah, I know.
44
00:03:06,708 --> 00:03:09,291
Many years,
we've been talking about doing this
45
00:03:09,833 --> 00:03:12,583
and it's exciting and unbelievable almost
that here we are.
46
00:03:15,833 --> 00:03:17,083
Rehearsal up!
47
00:03:17,333 --> 00:03:18,541
Rehearsal's up!
48
00:03:19,125 --> 00:03:20,791
Good luck. Here we go.
49
00:03:28,166 --> 00:03:31,708
This series is the story of
Obi-Wan Kenobi in the intervening years
50
00:03:31,791 --> 00:03:34,291
between the prequels
and the original trilogies.
51
00:03:35,666 --> 00:03:38,416
We're starting in a moment
where the Jedi are gone,
52
00:03:38,541 --> 00:03:41,500
they're being hunted,
the Empire is in control.
53
00:03:41,833 --> 00:03:44,041
Everything's a very dark period.
54
00:03:44,500 --> 00:03:47,375
So, in many ways,
we're trying to answer the question of,
55
00:03:47,500 --> 00:03:49,125
"How did he go from
Revenge of the Sith"
56
00:03:49,208 --> 00:03:51,625
"with all the pain and the tragedy
at the ending to,"
57
00:03:51,708 --> 00:03:54,583
"sort of, the calm and the peace
of
A New Hope?"
58
00:03:59,041 --> 00:04:00,750
Takin' on the series, for me,
59
00:04:00,833 --> 00:04:05,833
it was hugely an honor to be able
to enter into this mythology
60
00:04:05,916 --> 00:04:10,750
and to inherit this galaxy
with such rich, amazing characters.
61
00:04:11,541 --> 00:04:14,541
But at the same time,
I also need to tell a story.
62
00:04:14,625 --> 00:04:16,875
And I can't copy what George did,
I'm not George,
63
00:04:17,208 --> 00:04:20,208
so I have to tell my own story
with these characters.
64
00:04:20,291 --> 00:04:23,791
I think the trick has been to find
the balance between those two things.
65
00:04:24,375 --> 00:04:25,750
Meet Obi-Wan Kenobi.
66
00:04:25,833 --> 00:04:28,833
Ewan was very involved
all through the whole development,
67
00:04:29,458 --> 00:04:31,958
and he was such a lovely creative partner.
68
00:04:32,083 --> 00:04:33,333
He's more than just an actor.
69
00:04:33,416 --> 00:04:35,666
He, to me, is Obi-Wan.
70
00:04:36,375 --> 00:04:39,833
And Ewan was kind of the exact right age
to play this character again.
71
00:04:46,708 --> 00:04:49,666
When I first heard that
they were doing Episode I
to III
72
00:04:49,750 --> 00:04:51,458
and they needed an Obi-Wan Kenobi,
73
00:04:51,541 --> 00:04:53,666
I definitely didn't think it was for me.
74
00:04:53,750 --> 00:04:57,000
I thought, "This isn't who I am,"
just because of the scale of it.
75
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,875
I felt like I was this indie actor.
76
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,500
There was three of us for the part.
77
00:05:04,583 --> 00:05:06,791
And I went in and I did a screen test.
78
00:05:06,875 --> 00:05:09,208
You can't help but change
when it goes on.
79
00:05:09,291 --> 00:05:11,601
- Everyone can just be the most...
- Of course. Especially actors,
80
00:05:11,625 --> 00:05:13,291
- 'cause that's what we do.
- Yeah, yeah.
81
00:05:13,375 --> 00:05:16,017
I thought, "No. I'm not gonna
be doing something that big."
82
00:05:16,041 --> 00:05:18,250
But the truth was, I really wanted it.
83
00:05:18,333 --> 00:05:20,000
I wanted it because
84
00:05:21,166 --> 00:05:23,583
of how I'd felt about
the original three
Star Wars films.
85
00:05:24,416 --> 00:05:26,958
Shortly thereafter,
I heard that they'd offered it to me,
86
00:05:27,041 --> 00:05:28,458
and I was so beyond excited.
87
00:05:29,041 --> 00:05:30,601
- How are you?
- Hi. How are you doing?
88
00:05:30,625 --> 00:05:31,625
You all right?
89
00:05:31,708 --> 00:05:36,916
The crux of the story is you object
to Qui-Gon bringing this kid along.
90
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,500
- Mmm-hmm.
- So, his last dying wish to you
91
00:05:39,583 --> 00:05:41,958
is that you carry on with the kid
92
00:05:42,041 --> 00:05:44,125
and you're sort of saying,
"Okay, I'll do it."
93
00:05:44,208 --> 00:05:46,666
But you're really not up for it.
But you do it anyway.
94
00:05:46,750 --> 00:05:48,934
You've taken on this obligation
that you don't really want
95
00:05:48,958 --> 00:05:50,458
and you're not really capable of,
96
00:05:50,541 --> 00:05:54,666
but you promised your dying master that
you would do it, so, that's where it ends.
97
00:05:55,875 --> 00:05:57,958
I had a walk around
the studio with George.
98
00:05:58,041 --> 00:06:01,833
We went into a stage
where they were making the submarine
99
00:06:01,916 --> 00:06:04,875
that Liam and Ahmed Best
and I end up in.
100
00:06:05,083 --> 00:06:07,791
And I was so excited,
I looked up at it, and then I went,
101
00:06:07,875 --> 00:06:11,541
"George, will we go underwater in it?"
102
00:06:12,083 --> 00:06:14,142
And he just looked at me
and he went, "What?"
103
00:06:14,166 --> 00:06:16,375
And I said, "Will we submerge in it?"
104
00:06:16,625 --> 00:06:18,416
I was so excited that we might.
105
00:06:18,500 --> 00:06:21,541
And he said,
"It's none of it real, you know."
106
00:06:21,958 --> 00:06:24,083
- And a little part of me went...
- Huh.
107
00:06:25,166 --> 00:06:28,000
Like, that feeling of when
you get into the world of it,
108
00:06:28,083 --> 00:06:30,500
like, of course you're not
flying through space, you know.
109
00:06:30,583 --> 00:06:31,625
But somewhere in my head,
110
00:06:31,708 --> 00:06:35,083
I thought maybe I would get the chance
to do something like that.
111
00:06:35,166 --> 00:06:39,333
And then later on, we went into
the props-making department
112
00:06:39,416 --> 00:06:41,916
and the props master
brought this wooden box out.
113
00:06:42,458 --> 00:06:43,791
And opened it up.
114
00:06:44,083 --> 00:06:46,000
And there was lightsabers in there.
115
00:06:46,416 --> 00:06:48,500
And I got to choose my one, you know.
116
00:06:49,458 --> 00:06:52,416
And that was the real moment
where I realized what was going on,
117
00:06:52,500 --> 00:06:55,541
that this was an important moment.
To pick Obi-Wan's lightsaber.
118
00:06:55,708 --> 00:06:57,208
I've been waiting for this for weeks.
119
00:06:57,291 --> 00:07:00,333
Every morning I'd say, "I wonder
if it's today I'll get to choose."
120
00:07:07,250 --> 00:07:09,583
I don't think
I'd imagined the scale of it.
121
00:07:10,333 --> 00:07:12,458
And it was unlike anything I'd ever done.
122
00:07:14,666 --> 00:07:16,750
It's so interesting now,
20 years later,
123
00:07:16,833 --> 00:07:19,041
the love that there is for those films
124
00:07:19,125 --> 00:07:21,333
from the generation
who they were made for,
125
00:07:21,416 --> 00:07:22,583
the children then.
126
00:07:22,666 --> 00:07:25,291
The films that we made
are their
Star Wars, you know.
127
00:07:25,708 --> 00:07:26,708
And that's lovely.
128
00:07:26,791 --> 00:07:29,541
It's nice that feeling coincides
with making the series.
129
00:07:29,625 --> 00:07:30,825
This is our prop master.
130
00:07:30,875 --> 00:07:32,351
- Good to see you!
- Good to see you!
131
00:07:32,375 --> 00:07:35,708
This is the
A New Hope
Alec Guinness' saber.
132
00:07:36,208 --> 00:07:38,625
And this is what you had in Episode III.
133
00:07:38,708 --> 00:07:42,333
And this is kind of our halfway point
in a way...
134
00:07:42,416 --> 00:07:44,708
- I see.
- ...that's leaning hard into this,
135
00:07:44,791 --> 00:07:48,208
as far as form factor, like it's got
the switchboard and not the bubbles.
136
00:07:48,291 --> 00:07:50,708
- This was mine in III?
- Yeah.
137
00:07:50,791 --> 00:07:53,166
We shot Episode III in 2003.
138
00:07:53,333 --> 00:07:56,250
And we started shooting this one in 2020
139
00:07:56,333 --> 00:07:59,083
so that's a long time
not to play somebody, I feel like.
140
00:07:59,666 --> 00:08:02,208
It was such a long time ago.
I've just forgotten all of it.
141
00:08:03,083 --> 00:08:06,166
And yet, as soon as I put his clothes on
and came on set here,
142
00:08:06,250 --> 00:08:08,958
it didn't take me very long
to feel comfortable again.
143
00:08:11,500 --> 00:08:12,580
Here we go, darlin'.
144
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,880
I haven't tried
the smoke machine before.
145
00:08:14,916 --> 00:08:16,000
Okay.
146
00:08:16,208 --> 00:08:17,208
Good?
147
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,476
This is sort of
a color sample of the edible meat.
148
00:08:27,500 --> 00:08:28,583
Okay.
149
00:08:29,416 --> 00:08:34,750
And so, you're gonna cut a piece
of one of these bricks for your eopie.
150
00:08:35,083 --> 00:08:37,500
Like taking a corner.
And maybe doing like that,
151
00:08:37,583 --> 00:08:38,750
on the way down.
152
00:08:39,125 --> 00:08:41,166
Yeah,
that would fit in my pouch, yeah.
153
00:08:42,333 --> 00:08:45,875
I started speaking with people at Disney
a long time ago.
154
00:08:46,458 --> 00:08:49,583
I always thought it would be interesting
to take a character that
155
00:08:49,666 --> 00:08:54,125
we know and love as being one way
and show him in defeat.
156
00:08:55,208 --> 00:08:57,625
I just said, I just feel like
it's an interesting story
157
00:08:57,708 --> 00:08:59,875
about a man who's broken
and lost his faith.
158
00:08:59,958 --> 00:09:02,833
And how does it come back?
How does he get it back?
159
00:09:04,500 --> 00:09:05,791
...camera A marker.
160
00:09:06,916 --> 00:09:09,041
And, action!
161
00:09:09,541 --> 00:09:12,375
The first thing we did with Ewan
was the Sandwhale Farm.
162
00:09:12,458 --> 00:09:14,875
And so, that was sort of
a lovely way to start
163
00:09:14,958 --> 00:09:18,083
'cause that scene is really
the introduction to his character.
164
00:09:18,916 --> 00:09:21,041
One of the things
that we really tried to focus on
165
00:09:21,125 --> 00:09:23,625
was less about the Jedi
and more about the man.
166
00:09:24,666 --> 00:09:29,375
We were really trying to do a series that
was really focused on Ben Kenobi, the man.
167
00:09:29,916 --> 00:09:31,833
Who is he and how does he feel?
168
00:09:31,916 --> 00:09:34,125
And how does he deal with everything?
169
00:09:34,208 --> 00:09:37,333
The Jedi is part of the identity,
but really it was about him.
170
00:09:38,750 --> 00:09:41,208
The Sandwhale Farm
is actually one of my favorite sets,
171
00:09:42,083 --> 00:09:45,583
and we were really looking at references
of whaling stations of old.
172
00:09:45,916 --> 00:09:48,458
He's living in Anchorhead
which is a farming town,
173
00:09:48,541 --> 00:09:51,416
so it's very much
a blue-collar town in many ways.
174
00:09:51,500 --> 00:09:53,833
I was really trying
to make it feel gritty.
175
00:09:54,583 --> 00:09:56,583
He's just an ordinary man
at this point.
176
00:09:56,666 --> 00:09:58,708
And just doing his daily routine.
177
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,000
Physically,
he's rusty in terms of fighting
178
00:10:04,208 --> 00:10:07,833
and also just rusty
in terms of the desire to do it.
179
00:10:07,916 --> 00:10:10,250
He's sort of lost,
I think, Obi-Wan, in a way.
180
00:10:10,333 --> 00:10:13,833
He doesn't have the same drive
to fight for good.
181
00:10:14,541 --> 00:10:16,208
Something you wanna say?
182
00:10:20,583 --> 00:10:22,083
Okay. Backin' up.
183
00:10:22,375 --> 00:10:24,875
- Excuse me, everybody. Excuse me.
- Beep, beep.
184
00:10:25,583 --> 00:10:29,041
If you're doing
crosses, it's not business as normal.
185
00:10:29,583 --> 00:10:32,583
Head down, aware that at any moment
186
00:10:32,666 --> 00:10:35,541
they can turn around and snap your neck.
Okay, thank you.
187
00:10:36,166 --> 00:10:37,250
Action!
188
00:10:39,208 --> 00:10:41,708
It was really exciting for me,
coming on to this series
189
00:10:41,791 --> 00:10:44,583
to take on a new aspect of the dark side.
190
00:10:45,291 --> 00:10:47,041
These Inquisitors were first introduced
191
00:10:47,125 --> 00:10:49,708
by Dave Filoni
in his animated series, Rebels.
192
00:10:49,791 --> 00:10:52,291
So, this is the first time
in live-action for them.
193
00:10:53,708 --> 00:10:57,458
The Inquisitorius is an organization
that was created by Emperor Palpatine
194
00:10:57,541 --> 00:10:58,750
after the Clone Wars.
195
00:10:58,916 --> 00:11:02,875
And its primary purpose was to
hunt down and eliminate Force users.
196
00:11:04,625 --> 00:11:05,833
It's led by Darth Vader,
197
00:11:05,916 --> 00:11:09,583
and many of the Inquisitors were
former Jedi who turned to the dark side.
198
00:11:11,083 --> 00:11:13,791
It is truly extraordinary.
199
00:11:13,875 --> 00:11:17,041
It looks so close to what I'd pictured,
200
00:11:17,125 --> 00:11:19,583
which is really weird,
'cause it isn't always that way.
201
00:11:19,666 --> 00:11:22,416
But actually, it's how you imagine it.
202
00:11:22,500 --> 00:11:25,916
It's sort of that Western motif of the
three characters walking down the street
203
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,250
and everyone parting ways
204
00:11:27,333 --> 00:11:30,458
and then everyone sitting silently
as they're intimidated.
205
00:11:30,583 --> 00:11:31,875
It's wonderful.
206
00:11:33,333 --> 00:11:36,458
Hey, man. How are you?
Nice to see you again.
207
00:11:36,541 --> 00:11:39,142
- I know it's been many years.
- It's been many years. Too many years.
208
00:11:39,166 --> 00:11:40,500
Have you got your kit on yet?
209
00:11:40,625 --> 00:11:41,934
- No. Not yet.
- It's coming.
210
00:11:41,958 --> 00:11:42,958
It's coming.
211
00:11:43,041 --> 00:11:45,583
My character is
the Grand Inquisitor.
212
00:11:45,666 --> 00:11:48,208
The Grand Inquisitor used to be a Jedi.
213
00:11:48,916 --> 00:11:51,625
You know who we are.
214
00:11:52,541 --> 00:11:53,541
Inquisitors.
215
00:11:53,916 --> 00:11:57,333
The idea that somebody
could be fighting on the side of good
216
00:11:57,416 --> 00:12:00,416
and turn to the dark side,
I found fascinating.
217
00:12:01,458 --> 00:12:06,750
There's way more to this guy than just
a bad-ass with a double-edged lightsaber.
218
00:12:08,958 --> 00:12:11,625
The Grand Inquisitor
is a former Jedi Knight and temple guard
219
00:12:11,708 --> 00:12:13,166
who turned to the dark side.
220
00:12:14,166 --> 00:12:18,541
He's a very interesting character because
he's calculating, cerebral, and cunning
221
00:12:18,625 --> 00:12:20,791
and he uses his intelligence as a weapon.
222
00:12:22,458 --> 00:12:24,083
Fifth Brother is a powerful warrior
223
00:12:24,166 --> 00:12:26,708
and he's the natural successor
to the Grand Inquisitor.
224
00:12:27,625 --> 00:12:30,750
Reva is a young Inquisitor
who doesn't like to play by the rules.
225
00:12:31,791 --> 00:12:34,750
She's fiery. She's passionate.
She's impatient.
226
00:12:34,833 --> 00:12:37,583
She's frequently in conflict
with the other Inquisitors.
227
00:12:37,958 --> 00:12:40,166
You just gotta make sure
that when her hand's out,
228
00:12:40,250 --> 00:12:44,166
be careful that you remember the width
of the length of the blade, right?
229
00:12:44,250 --> 00:12:46,750
And just making sure that
you don't touch her body with it.
230
00:12:47,166 --> 00:12:49,583
The story of Reva
was an interesting one for us.
231
00:12:49,666 --> 00:12:52,125
And this was a character
that I was really excited about.
232
00:13:00,416 --> 00:13:02,833
It's a dream I didn't know I had.
233
00:13:04,666 --> 00:13:09,250
I just never thought it would or could
actually be me.
234
00:13:09,625 --> 00:13:11,083
And, action!
235
00:13:12,083 --> 00:13:17,250
The first day, going to costumes
and putting on the suit,
236
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,500
it blew my mind.
237
00:13:20,708 --> 00:13:21,708
Look up.
238
00:13:27,166 --> 00:13:31,583
Women, in general,
are complicated beings
239
00:13:32,458 --> 00:13:36,875
and to get to inhabit
a character that seems one way
240
00:13:36,958 --> 00:13:42,791
but is very much something different
and is led all by her heart.
241
00:13:43,208 --> 00:13:46,500
The choices you make are sometimes muddled
242
00:13:46,583 --> 00:13:49,500
when you're trying to move
with your heart, you know.
243
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,351
- Keep the eye line cam with us?
- He'll be... Yeah, he's going...
244
00:13:52,375 --> 00:13:54,250
Yes, so everything is going...
He's bigger.
245
00:13:54,333 --> 00:13:55,333
Yeah. Yeah.
246
00:13:55,416 --> 00:13:57,376
It's important for us
to have heroes, yes.
247
00:13:57,708 --> 00:14:00,083
But also, villains.
248
00:14:00,250 --> 00:14:03,375
It's cool to be... It's cool to be nice.
249
00:14:04,166 --> 00:14:09,125
But it's also cool
to see different people inhabit villains.
250
00:14:14,333 --> 00:14:18,583
I really loved the idea
of having this young, dark side woman
251
00:14:20,583 --> 00:14:24,500
'cause there're been so few actual women
on the dark side in live-action.
252
00:14:25,333 --> 00:14:28,458
It was really exciting
to kinda get to develop this character.
253
00:14:29,833 --> 00:14:32,916
I needed a young woman
that you could really believe
254
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,458
could take on Darth Vader
and make an attempt on him.
255
00:14:36,541 --> 00:14:37,666
It's a big role.
256
00:14:39,541 --> 00:14:41,541
He will have his revenge
on you all.
257
00:14:42,458 --> 00:14:46,250
And I will be the one
who delivers it to him.
258
00:14:46,541 --> 00:14:48,625
Moses just had the strength.
259
00:14:48,916 --> 00:14:50,125
She had the intelligence.
260
00:14:50,208 --> 00:14:51,708
I just found her really charismatic,
261
00:14:51,791 --> 00:14:54,541
so I was really excited when
we cast her in the part of Reva.
262
00:14:56,541 --> 00:14:58,083
She's a complex character.
263
00:14:59,583 --> 00:15:01,333
Obi-Wan is clearly on the light side.
264
00:15:01,583 --> 00:15:03,291
Vader is clearly on the dark side.
265
00:15:03,916 --> 00:15:05,208
Reva's in the middle.
266
00:15:06,583 --> 00:15:08,416
Her original intentions were good,
267
00:15:08,500 --> 00:15:11,375
but she essentially got consumed
by fear and anger.
268
00:15:12,791 --> 00:15:15,250
And you can understand that.
You can relate to it.
269
00:15:21,458 --> 00:15:25,000
The Inquisitors are looking for
Obi-Wan or any other Jedi.
270
00:15:25,333 --> 00:15:26,458
Thank you, Owen.
271
00:15:26,750 --> 00:15:29,550
Obi-Wan doesn't use the Force
at the beginning of the series.
272
00:15:30,291 --> 00:15:31,958
He won't. He can't.
273
00:15:32,666 --> 00:15:34,125
Because it'll give him away.
274
00:15:34,333 --> 00:15:37,125
But also, he made a promise
to look after Luke
275
00:15:37,208 --> 00:15:39,875
so he's trying to live up to that promise.
276
00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:48,750
We were fortunate to have both
Joel Edgerton and Bonnie return for us.
277
00:15:50,458 --> 00:15:51,750
They are from the prequels.
278
00:15:51,833 --> 00:15:55,708
So it was amazing to get both of them
to come back and reprise these roles.
279
00:15:56,791 --> 00:15:58,875
And, action.
280
00:16:00,750 --> 00:16:02,583
So many years have gone by,
281
00:16:02,666 --> 00:16:05,000
and they have a personal relationship
to the character,
282
00:16:05,083 --> 00:16:07,166
they've lived their lives
with the character.
283
00:16:07,875 --> 00:16:10,375
Bonnie and Joel
were so young when they first did it,
284
00:16:10,750 --> 00:16:14,333
and then to be reunited
20 or so years later,
285
00:16:14,666 --> 00:16:17,041
it felt like something special
for them coming back.
286
00:16:18,166 --> 00:16:21,416
I was very excited to see you, Bonnie.
287
00:16:21,500 --> 00:16:22,833
I was excited to see you.
288
00:16:22,916 --> 00:16:25,036
- Good. Thank goodness for that.
- Yeah. I really was.
289
00:16:26,083 --> 00:16:28,666
Yeah, no, I got a little like,
"Oh, my God, Joel's here,"
290
00:16:28,750 --> 00:16:30,708
- when you came into the makeup trailer.
- Yeah.
291
00:16:30,791 --> 00:16:32,559
When I heard that
we were coming back,
292
00:16:32,583 --> 00:16:35,000
I definitely felt the pressure
for a number of months.
293
00:16:35,083 --> 00:16:38,041
But as soon as I stepped on the set
it felt pretty relaxed, really.
294
00:16:38,125 --> 00:16:40,416
Yeah.
It's been an incredible environment.
295
00:16:40,500 --> 00:16:43,250
And I think that Deb Chow is incredible.
296
00:16:43,333 --> 00:16:46,791
And just a really good vibe
and sense of camaraderie on set.
297
00:16:47,041 --> 00:16:49,184
Yeah. And it doesn't feel like
pressure so much
298
00:16:49,208 --> 00:16:52,000
'cause I feel like everyone
is excited to be here.
299
00:16:52,583 --> 00:16:53,583
Set.
300
00:16:53,666 --> 00:16:55,458
And, action.
301
00:16:56,041 --> 00:16:57,041
Luke!
302
00:16:57,125 --> 00:16:58,166
Luke!
303
00:16:58,250 --> 00:16:59,958
Where is he?
304
00:17:00,041 --> 00:17:03,166
The fact that there's
a real deepening of the relationship
305
00:17:03,250 --> 00:17:08,625
with us as a family, including Luke,
and the protectiveness that we display,
306
00:17:09,208 --> 00:17:11,875
felt like it was walking down
the right road with them
307
00:17:11,958 --> 00:17:13,750
because that's what they would do.
308
00:17:14,375 --> 00:17:16,791
People have a real love for
Star Wars
309
00:17:16,875 --> 00:17:19,583
and it touches them deeply in their soul.
310
00:17:20,250 --> 00:17:23,041
And I think people are in love
with the heroic journey.
311
00:17:23,125 --> 00:17:27,833
It just calls on people's spirit in a way,
and what an honor to be a part of that.
312
00:17:28,958 --> 00:17:30,375
Leia Organa!
313
00:17:32,250 --> 00:17:33,875
You had to do this today?
314
00:17:34,166 --> 00:17:35,166
Do what?
315
00:17:35,333 --> 00:17:36,333
Down.
316
00:17:38,625 --> 00:17:41,333
So, we're gonna take it from you
coming down here
317
00:17:41,416 --> 00:17:43,333
then you're gonna come over here
and this...
318
00:17:43,416 --> 00:17:45,559
I love that everyone
thought it would be a story
319
00:17:45,583 --> 00:17:47,375
about Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker.
320
00:17:47,458 --> 00:17:50,791
And nobody knew that this was
the story about Obi-Wan and Leia.
321
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,333
Deborah, should I give her
like a "I'm sorry" look
322
00:17:54,416 --> 00:17:56,458
before I press her off, like,
323
00:17:56,541 --> 00:17:58,958
"I'm sorry she made me do it"
and then press her off?
324
00:17:59,041 --> 00:18:01,375
Yeah, just give her
a little sorry look.
325
00:18:04,416 --> 00:18:07,416
One of the most challenging and exciting
elements of the show
326
00:18:07,500 --> 00:18:09,333
is young Princess Leia.
327
00:18:09,875 --> 00:18:12,000
Well, hop in. Meet my new friends.
328
00:18:13,208 --> 00:18:17,583
This is Orden and Luma.
They're hitchin' a ride to the port.
329
00:18:18,166 --> 00:18:20,750
One of the things
that really drew me to the project
330
00:18:20,833 --> 00:18:22,666
was the father-daughter story of it all.
331
00:18:22,750 --> 00:18:25,833
'Cause my dad, growing up,
he was a very pivotal person for me.
332
00:18:27,666 --> 00:18:30,791
My dad was a huge movie fan,
and he was Chinese,
333
00:18:30,875 --> 00:18:34,083
so he used to watch
a ton of Asian action films.
334
00:18:35,041 --> 00:18:37,666
He loved them and he had
a huge collection of movies.
335
00:18:37,750 --> 00:18:39,750
So, I think I absorbed a lot from that
336
00:18:39,833 --> 00:18:43,291
and just the speed and the imagination
337
00:18:43,375 --> 00:18:45,958
that a lot of
the Asian martial arts films have,
338
00:18:46,458 --> 00:18:48,625
and the legacy of people like Kurosawa
339
00:18:48,708 --> 00:18:51,625
and the grandmasters,
Jet Li, all the people like that.
340
00:18:53,708 --> 00:18:56,291
It's been really interesting
'cause I never really thought,
341
00:18:56,375 --> 00:18:58,750
"Oh, I'm gonna grow up and become
an action director."
342
00:18:58,833 --> 00:19:01,416
It certainly was not what
I was thinking I was doing
343
00:19:01,500 --> 00:19:03,333
but I actually really love doing it.
344
00:19:08,416 --> 00:19:10,708
When I was growing up,
I was a huge fan of The Muppets,
345
00:19:10,791 --> 00:19:13,333
and I really love fantasy and sci-fi.
346
00:19:13,583 --> 00:19:16,291
He has full mouth, eye,
347
00:19:16,375 --> 00:19:18,375
he's got muscular movement.
348
00:19:18,625 --> 00:19:21,791
If he tried to say something,
how close do you think you could get?
349
00:19:24,500 --> 00:19:25,583
It's pretty good.
350
00:19:27,791 --> 00:19:30,041
I like anything
that's weird and wonderful
351
00:19:30,125 --> 00:19:32,208
and, kind of,
goes into a different direction.
352
00:19:32,875 --> 00:19:35,375
This person
would be amazing for shoplifters.
353
00:19:35,458 --> 00:19:38,833
So, maybe, that's like the clothing store
when they're getting the clothes.
354
00:19:38,916 --> 00:19:42,125
This is the store owner
that keeps watching everybody.
355
00:19:42,208 --> 00:19:44,168
- That's so brilliant.
- Yeah.
356
00:19:44,208 --> 00:19:48,458
So, basically, what's gonna happen is,
she's just gonna run through your legs.
357
00:19:48,541 --> 00:19:50,833
So, just as the person
runs through your legs,
358
00:19:50,916 --> 00:19:53,791
it's just like getting a sense
of the creature looking down
359
00:19:53,875 --> 00:19:55,541
and then going, "Whoa."
360
00:19:56,208 --> 00:19:58,041
I love all the creatures in Star Wars
361
00:19:58,125 --> 00:20:02,708
because I think it creates a really
special world for everybody on set.
362
00:20:02,791 --> 00:20:04,750
Hey! Get your hands off of me!
363
00:20:04,833 --> 00:20:07,333
I thought we were friends.
I gave you a ride.
364
00:20:07,666 --> 00:20:12,041
'Cause it's there and you feel it,
and you can see it, and it's so charming.
365
00:20:17,666 --> 00:20:20,000
The world building
of creating a galaxy
366
00:20:20,083 --> 00:20:22,416
that was so detailed and so thorough,
367
00:20:22,625 --> 00:20:25,916
but so inventive and so creative
at the same time, was just amazing.
368
00:20:26,958 --> 00:20:28,791
And Daiyu is one of my favorite planets.
369
00:20:32,291 --> 00:20:34,833
It's a place that's an underworld.
370
00:20:34,916 --> 00:20:37,625
You know, shady characters,
lots of colorful creatures,
371
00:20:38,458 --> 00:20:40,583
a lot of illegal activity going on there.
372
00:20:41,625 --> 00:20:45,416
It's where the mercenaries take Leia
once they kidnapped her.
373
00:20:45,500 --> 00:20:48,208
And they take her to this
underground spice den.
374
00:20:48,333 --> 00:20:50,791
Some of our earliest references
were things like
375
00:20:50,916 --> 00:20:54,000
the Bangkok night markets
or Hong Kong at night.
376
00:20:55,083 --> 00:20:58,708
So, I was looking a lot at Wong Kar-Wai
and other things like that,
377
00:20:59,041 --> 00:21:01,208
and just having this sense of the neon.
378
00:21:01,541 --> 00:21:03,625
It was a really fun planet design.
379
00:21:04,208 --> 00:21:05,708
Out of the way.
380
00:21:05,791 --> 00:21:08,083
When I meet Leia, I'm all business.
381
00:21:08,166 --> 00:21:11,000
It's just all about
getting her back to Bail,
382
00:21:11,250 --> 00:21:12,833
getting her back to Alderaan.
383
00:21:13,125 --> 00:21:17,250
And I'm not open enough
to see her for who she is.
384
00:21:17,333 --> 00:21:19,958
Why do I get the feeling
you're going to be the death of me?
385
00:21:20,041 --> 00:21:23,708
In the early films that I did, there was
a sort of impatience with Anakin,
386
00:21:23,791 --> 00:21:27,125
and at the beginning of our story,
there's that frustration again.
387
00:21:27,208 --> 00:21:33,041
Obi-Wan's got that reluctant
teacher-parent feeling with Leia.
388
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,708
The blaster in the hand feels okay.
389
00:21:35,791 --> 00:21:38,666
If you don't like it,
I'm totally okay with it tucked in.
390
00:21:38,750 --> 00:21:41,250
Kumail plays a character
called Haja
391
00:21:41,333 --> 00:21:42,833
who's this trickster.
392
00:21:43,375 --> 00:21:46,750
And I meet him because I've heard
there's a Jedi who could help us get out.
393
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,500
And, action.
394
00:21:49,166 --> 00:21:50,250
You're no Jedi.
395
00:21:52,458 --> 00:21:54,083
But you know where one is.
396
00:21:54,875 --> 00:21:56,791
I'm the only Jedi around.
397
00:22:00,416 --> 00:22:02,625
I got Force-pushed into a wall
398
00:22:02,708 --> 00:22:05,291
much harder than I thought I was going to.
399
00:22:05,791 --> 00:22:11,458
I'm very padded up and it was awesome,
but also, I forget what day it is.
400
00:22:11,541 --> 00:22:12,541
And cut.
401
00:22:12,666 --> 00:22:13,826
- Cut, cut.
- Cutting,
402
00:22:13,875 --> 00:22:15,101
How you feelin'? You all right?
403
00:22:15,125 --> 00:22:16,125
You okay?
404
00:22:16,750 --> 00:22:20,625
It's just really fun to play
a guy who's pretending to be a Jedi.
405
00:22:23,041 --> 00:22:26,125
I re-watched all the Star Wars
in preparation for it.
406
00:22:26,458 --> 00:22:29,708
And then I was like, okay,
this is probably all this guy knows,
407
00:22:29,791 --> 00:22:34,125
so his Force-gestures and the way
he conducts himself as a Jedi,
408
00:22:34,208 --> 00:22:36,166
it's very theatrical.
409
00:22:36,458 --> 00:22:39,208
Spaceport passenger check.
Gate 3-C, do you read? Over.
410
00:22:39,291 --> 00:22:42,958
Because the people he's dealing
with also probably haven't run into Jedi,
411
00:22:43,041 --> 00:22:44,625
so it's just his version of it.
412
00:22:44,708 --> 00:22:47,416
This is a Jedi mind trick.
Do not be alarmed.
413
00:22:47,500 --> 00:22:49,083
I am inside your mind.
414
00:22:49,416 --> 00:22:51,333
You're inside my mind.
415
00:22:51,958 --> 00:22:54,791
I actually looked up a lot
about different techniques
416
00:22:54,875 --> 00:22:57,166
that con men use to con their marks.
417
00:22:57,541 --> 00:23:01,083
It was really fun to do that
in the context of Star Wars.
418
00:23:02,500 --> 00:23:04,434
You know, they think
it's so easy being a Jedi.
419
00:23:04,458 --> 00:23:05,458
They think it's so easy.
420
00:23:05,541 --> 00:23:07,142
It's not. The hood work alone...
421
00:23:07,166 --> 00:23:11,000
that's what three years of training
is just to get the hood right.
422
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,583
I really love
that I got to play this character
423
00:23:14,666 --> 00:23:16,875
who has this complicated morality.
424
00:23:17,333 --> 00:23:19,291
This pull and push inside of him,
425
00:23:19,375 --> 00:23:21,750
doing the right thing or making money.
426
00:23:22,375 --> 00:23:25,083
It makes that choice a lot richer.
427
00:23:27,416 --> 00:23:28,416
Okay.
428
00:23:28,500 --> 00:23:31,309
I think what this is, peek your...
Can you push your head out a little?
429
00:23:31,333 --> 00:23:35,916
Obi-Wan and Leia go on the run,
and they come across Tala.
430
00:23:36,708 --> 00:23:39,791
Tala's an important character
for Obi-Wan in terms of
431
00:23:40,291 --> 00:23:43,458
her encouragement of him
to leave the past in the past.
432
00:23:43,875 --> 00:23:45,416
May the Force be with you.
433
00:23:51,583 --> 00:23:54,416
Today's been really emotional.
Hasn't it, Shea?
434
00:23:54,500 --> 00:23:57,083
It's a dream come true.
This is the best job I ever had.
435
00:24:00,041 --> 00:24:04,791
I play Tala and she's actually
the equivalent of the French resistance.
436
00:24:05,458 --> 00:24:07,750
I will not have my integrity questioned.
437
00:24:07,833 --> 00:24:09,666
Then admit you're a spy!
438
00:24:11,750 --> 00:24:12,916
Well, of course I am.
439
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:17,000
She has been hurt.
Deeply, deeply disillusioned by the Empire
440
00:24:17,083 --> 00:24:19,083
and has since switched her allegiance.
441
00:24:22,333 --> 00:24:23,333
Now.
442
00:24:27,125 --> 00:24:30,875
I think she sees Ben.
She understands him.
443
00:24:30,958 --> 00:24:33,791
She sees a man who's given up.
444
00:24:33,875 --> 00:24:35,458
Who's lost his mojo.
445
00:24:35,708 --> 00:24:41,541
And she tries to galvanize him
to face his past, and to face his fears.
446
00:24:42,500 --> 00:24:44,250
Actions speak louder than words.
447
00:24:45,291 --> 00:24:46,458
Let's get a move on.
448
00:24:47,916 --> 00:24:49,083
Thanks.
449
00:24:50,166 --> 00:24:51,208
I love that jacket.
450
00:24:51,541 --> 00:24:53,541
It's the Gap.
451
00:24:53,625 --> 00:24:56,083
Do not joke.
You would not find that in Gap.
452
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:58,208
Would you wear that?
453
00:24:58,291 --> 00:25:01,041
Man, I like my fit.
I'm out here dripping.
454
00:25:01,125 --> 00:25:03,375
You do look really cool.
455
00:25:03,833 --> 00:25:06,666
Man, it's gonna be a good time.
I feel official now.
456
00:25:07,583 --> 00:25:08,625
Action.
457
00:25:08,708 --> 00:25:12,833
Roken is leading what we hope
will eventually become
458
00:25:12,916 --> 00:25:14,666
what we know as the Rebellion.
459
00:25:14,750 --> 00:25:16,708
This is kind of like the first chapter.
460
00:25:16,791 --> 00:25:17,875
Where's Wade?
461
00:25:18,500 --> 00:25:21,500
He's just a regular guy
just trying to do the right thing
462
00:25:21,583 --> 00:25:26,583
and it leads him down this path to be
something bigger than what he is.
463
00:25:27,750 --> 00:25:30,541
Oh, little kid Shea is
spazzing out right now.
464
00:25:30,666 --> 00:25:31,875
I'm losing my mind.
465
00:25:31,958 --> 00:25:35,500
I'm trying to keep it cool,
trying to do the acting thing,
466
00:25:35,583 --> 00:25:37,250
but yeah, I'm having a good time.
467
00:25:39,916 --> 00:25:41,458
I'm freaking out.
468
00:25:41,833 --> 00:25:45,166
Still can't believe... This, I love this.
469
00:25:50,500 --> 00:25:54,083
Star Wars
is a huge, huge part of my life.
470
00:25:56,291 --> 00:25:59,583
Me and my sister would play the soundtrack
471
00:25:59,791 --> 00:26:02,958
and fight each other with our lightsabers.
472
00:26:03,041 --> 00:26:07,833
And to this day I still listen
to certain songs I really like...
473
00:26:07,916 --> 00:26:11,166
Duel of the Fates,
I mean,
I want that played at my wedding.
474
00:26:11,625 --> 00:26:14,666
This is nuts.
475
00:26:15,416 --> 00:26:16,500
Stop.
476
00:26:16,583 --> 00:26:19,708
Me and my whole family were
addicted to
Star Wars,
477
00:26:20,250 --> 00:26:22,041
and now I get to be in it.
478
00:26:22,125 --> 00:26:24,476
- So this is all...
- Yo, I mean, this is wild.
479
00:26:26,458 --> 00:26:27,583
Oh, my God.
480
00:26:29,250 --> 00:26:32,208
One of the major things
that we're telling in this story is that
481
00:26:32,708 --> 00:26:35,041
Obi-Wan at the end of
Revenge of the Sith in the prequels
482
00:26:35,125 --> 00:26:38,500
did not know that Anakin Skywalker
survived to become Lord Vader.
483
00:26:38,583 --> 00:26:40,041
He thinks he's dead.
484
00:26:40,125 --> 00:26:42,791
So that is a major revelation
that we're doing for his character.
485
00:26:44,083 --> 00:26:46,583
In trying to tell the story
of Obi-Wan Kenobi,
486
00:26:46,666 --> 00:26:49,625
we looked at his past,
we looked at his relationships,
487
00:26:49,708 --> 00:26:53,875
and one of the most important people
in his life is Anakin Skywalker.
488
00:26:55,250 --> 00:27:00,375
It felt really key that Hayden
be playing the role in this series.
489
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,791
Hello there. How are you?
490
00:27:07,125 --> 00:27:08,166
I'm good.
491
00:27:09,958 --> 00:27:11,333
- You all right?
- Yeah. Good. You?
492
00:27:11,416 --> 00:27:14,833
Yeah, good. Just been watching
some interesting clips of our old stuff.
493
00:27:17,916 --> 00:27:19,083
What took you so long?
494
00:27:19,166 --> 00:27:22,791
Oh, you know, Master, I couldn't find
a speeder that I really liked.
495
00:27:32,791 --> 00:27:37,041
It's a surreal world
to play in and be a part of.
496
00:27:39,250 --> 00:27:43,000
I did those films many years ago
and still I go out in public,
497
00:27:43,083 --> 00:27:46,291
it's hard to not have some interaction
with someone
498
00:27:46,375 --> 00:27:49,708
where they express
what these films mean to them.
499
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,125
I remember auditioning for the films
500
00:27:54,208 --> 00:27:57,666
with no concept
that I could actually get the part.
501
00:27:59,458 --> 00:28:04,666
He cast me in the role,
and it was a dream come true, you know.
502
00:28:06,583 --> 00:28:08,375
Every day putting that costume on,
503
00:28:08,458 --> 00:28:11,208
you got the cloak
and the lightsaber on the belt.
504
00:28:12,625 --> 00:28:15,333
You know, walking by a mirror
and being like,
505
00:28:15,416 --> 00:28:16,916
you know, yeah, I'm a Jedi Knight.
506
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,666
That's, you know...
It was incredible.
507
00:28:21,958 --> 00:28:24,666
As you're looking,
you think about it and he goes,
508
00:28:24,750 --> 00:28:26,000
"What about Padmé?"
509
00:28:26,083 --> 00:28:29,000
And then you say your lines
and then you turn and look to see...
510
00:28:29,083 --> 00:28:32,041
A big part of the thrill of
coming back to this for me was
511
00:28:32,125 --> 00:28:34,625
the idea that I was gonna
get to do it with Ewan.
512
00:28:34,708 --> 00:28:36,666
Set. And, action.
513
00:28:37,375 --> 00:28:39,958
He is someone
I'm extremely fond of
514
00:28:40,041 --> 00:28:43,791
and he had a big impact on me
when we were making those films.
515
00:28:44,541 --> 00:28:48,083
I was young. I was 19 when we started,
and very new to it.
516
00:28:48,166 --> 00:28:49,791
And he took me under his wing.
517
00:28:49,875 --> 00:28:51,916
Good call, my young Padawan.
518
00:28:52,125 --> 00:28:55,166
We spent a lot of time together
and had a lot of fun together.
519
00:28:55,625 --> 00:28:57,041
And, action.
520
00:28:57,333 --> 00:28:59,041
Obi-Wan...
521
00:28:59,125 --> 00:29:00,166
Very good.
522
00:29:00,583 --> 00:29:02,166
Ugh, God.
523
00:29:02,250 --> 00:29:03,791
Turned out great. That's the one.
524
00:29:03,875 --> 00:29:05,083
Particularly nice...
525
00:29:07,166 --> 00:29:08,208
Jesus.
526
00:29:13,208 --> 00:29:15,583
I mean, you warned me,
you had the high ground.
527
00:29:15,708 --> 00:29:19,375
If I had a dollar for every time
someone's told me I had the high ground.
528
00:29:20,208 --> 00:29:23,333
Getting to come back
and do more with him was an opportunity
529
00:29:23,416 --> 00:29:25,583
that I think
we were both very grateful for.
530
00:29:34,708 --> 00:29:38,791
This is a character that has come
to define my life in so many ways,
531
00:29:38,875 --> 00:29:40,875
both professionally and personally.
532
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,708
Coming back to it after all these years
was very meaningful to me.
533
00:29:50,375 --> 00:29:53,125
I didn't think I'd get the opportunity
to put it back on again.
534
00:29:53,208 --> 00:29:56,666
So, this is a pretty neat thing,
you know, all these years later.
535
00:29:56,958 --> 00:29:59,291
Deborah just had so much insight.
536
00:29:59,375 --> 00:30:03,458
It was clear that she felt a great
responsibility to this character, as I do.
537
00:30:05,125 --> 00:30:06,845
Okay, and then the other side.
538
00:30:07,500 --> 00:30:10,125
And so, we just knew
that we had to get this right.
539
00:30:11,333 --> 00:30:14,416
And that was kinda how
we ended all of our conversations with,
540
00:30:14,500 --> 00:30:16,458
was we gotta get this right.
541
00:30:19,750 --> 00:30:21,833
We're gonna head down the path.
542
00:30:25,791 --> 00:30:27,708
- There she is.
- Done and done.
543
00:30:28,625 --> 00:30:31,833
My first day on set
was a really special day.
544
00:30:32,458 --> 00:30:35,583
I was Anakin from Episode III era.
545
00:30:36,916 --> 00:30:40,458
When I got to set, I was told that Ewan
had already finished for the day
546
00:30:40,541 --> 00:30:42,500
and that they were
trying to send him home,
547
00:30:42,583 --> 00:30:45,375
but he was insisting on staying
to be there for my first shot back.
548
00:30:46,583 --> 00:30:48,583
I was looking for him.
I was like, "Where is he?"
549
00:30:48,666 --> 00:30:51,416
They're like, "He's standing
by the camera for your eye line."
550
00:30:51,500 --> 00:30:55,041
And they pointed off way in the distance,
200-300 feet away.
551
00:30:55,666 --> 00:30:58,958
And I was like, I can't really see him,
so I shouted to him,
552
00:30:59,041 --> 00:31:00,583
I was like, "Obi-Wan."
553
00:31:01,083 --> 00:31:05,416
I saw a hand go up,
and then I really felt his presence.
554
00:31:12,208 --> 00:31:14,166
It was a very emotional thing.
555
00:31:14,250 --> 00:31:17,250
Not just reuniting as these characters,
but also as friends.
556
00:31:17,708 --> 00:31:20,208
It was like going back in time.
It was so cool.
557
00:31:22,250 --> 00:31:23,291
Are we ready for this?
558
00:31:23,375 --> 00:31:24,625
Man... Yeah.
559
00:31:24,708 --> 00:31:27,458
I love Hayden and
it was so nice to see him again.
560
00:31:27,833 --> 00:31:30,541
It was moving, it was
emotional to work with him again.
561
00:31:30,625 --> 00:31:32,083
I'm ready for you, then.
562
00:31:34,833 --> 00:31:38,375
And also getting to wield lightsabers
at each other again
563
00:31:38,458 --> 00:31:40,291
was pretty epic. It was pretty cool.
564
00:31:44,916 --> 00:31:48,916
It was really lovely
to watch Hayden and Ewan reunite.
565
00:31:50,666 --> 00:31:53,958
There's just such a warmth
and there is such a relationship
566
00:31:54,041 --> 00:31:55,166
between the two of them
567
00:31:55,250 --> 00:31:57,833
that it really feels like the characters
in a lot of ways.
568
00:31:59,375 --> 00:32:02,291
Especially when we're doing
the flashbacks to the prequels.
569
00:32:02,458 --> 00:32:05,208
It really brought something
special out of both of them.
570
00:32:05,541 --> 00:32:07,000
And, action.
571
00:32:09,375 --> 00:32:11,500
Mercy does not defeat an enemy.
572
00:32:15,291 --> 00:32:16,875
Which is why you're gonna lose.
573
00:32:20,291 --> 00:32:22,041
He's like my brother
or something.
574
00:32:22,125 --> 00:32:24,041
We have a sort of shorthand, I suppose.
575
00:32:24,125 --> 00:32:26,375
It's all still there
when we're working together.
576
00:32:26,458 --> 00:32:28,166
It just felt very natural and easy.
577
00:32:28,666 --> 00:32:32,125
I was looking over at Hayden,
he just looked exactly as I remember.
578
00:32:33,166 --> 00:32:35,041
I'm standing there with dots on my face,
579
00:32:35,125 --> 00:32:38,833
there's the de-aging people in the
background going "What are we gonna do?"
580
00:32:39,833 --> 00:32:40,833
Charlie mark.
581
00:32:41,166 --> 00:32:42,166
Action.
582
00:32:49,041 --> 00:32:51,375
You grow aggressive, Anakin. Be mindful.
583
00:32:51,625 --> 00:32:55,916
We found our rhythm
and it was just like old hat again.
584
00:32:57,541 --> 00:33:01,458
There's Ewan with his Jedi mullet
and I've got my little Padawan braid,
585
00:33:03,125 --> 00:33:07,083
and it was Obi-Wan and Anakin again
from the good ol' days.
586
00:33:13,166 --> 00:33:15,916
Coming back, what I was most excited by
587
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:20,958
was the idea of exploring the character of
Darth Vader at this point in the timeline.
588
00:33:22,958 --> 00:33:25,416
When we meet him in the series,
589
00:33:25,500 --> 00:33:30,166
he's struggling with his past
in a way that he needs to reconcile.
590
00:33:30,916 --> 00:33:33,916
He needs to kill Obi-Wan
to kill that part of himself
591
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,583
and become the Sith
that he knows he needs to be.
592
00:33:38,958 --> 00:33:41,958
That is what
this pursuit is in the series.
593
00:33:44,833 --> 00:33:48,291
When I find out
that Anakin's alive and that he is Vader,
594
00:33:49,375 --> 00:33:53,083
his mission of getting Leia back to
Alderaan becomes all the more important
595
00:33:53,166 --> 00:33:54,875
because we're in great danger now.
596
00:34:05,750 --> 00:34:09,875
They should be equally across.
Put this guy here, this one.
597
00:34:09,958 --> 00:34:11,583
And this one here.
598
00:34:11,666 --> 00:34:15,583
I came on set to do this scene
in this mining village set.
599
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,750
And there was just loads of people
standing around like...
600
00:34:19,833 --> 00:34:21,958
Of course there's
a big crew and everything
601
00:34:22,041 --> 00:34:25,250
but it was odd,
there was a lot of people just standing.
602
00:34:27,291 --> 00:34:28,916
But then I realized why.
603
00:34:30,791 --> 00:34:33,000
Vader walks out at the end of the street.
604
00:34:34,125 --> 00:34:35,958
It was like gobsmacking.
605
00:34:37,416 --> 00:34:39,166
Everyone's there to see Vader.
606
00:34:40,291 --> 00:34:42,375
And I go, "Oh, that's what it is."
607
00:34:45,416 --> 00:34:47,601
Maybe just start her
that direction, so you know.
608
00:34:47,625 --> 00:34:50,416
'Cause I think this felt right,
like when he pulls her down...
609
00:34:50,500 --> 00:34:52,791
Today is just a little action piece.
610
00:34:52,875 --> 00:34:54,333
A lot of it is just,
611
00:34:54,416 --> 00:34:56,458
you look over the scene with Deb
612
00:34:56,541 --> 00:34:59,541
and then we just kind of
see how she wants it to play out.
613
00:34:59,625 --> 00:35:01,750
Here,
I think everything has to go faster.
614
00:35:01,833 --> 00:35:02,892
- Got it.
- Okay.
615
00:35:02,916 --> 00:35:04,291
To get to the track, right.
616
00:35:04,375 --> 00:35:06,791
She wanted to make it
almost like a horror movie,
617
00:35:06,875 --> 00:35:08,458
where the monster would appear,
618
00:35:08,541 --> 00:35:11,166
and you turn around and he's gone.
You look one way, he's gone.
619
00:35:11,250 --> 00:35:12,833
It's like always hunting you down.
620
00:35:12,916 --> 00:35:15,666
All right, here we go. Ready and action.
621
00:35:19,166 --> 00:35:25,041
I grew up on this franchise, so this is
just a dream for me just to be around.
622
00:35:25,916 --> 00:35:27,516
Yeah, they're gonna go out faster.
623
00:35:27,541 --> 00:35:31,166
So, more urgency getting out that you guys
have to make sure nobody's leaving.
624
00:35:31,250 --> 00:35:32,250
Going again.
625
00:35:33,833 --> 00:35:36,958
I'd done some rehearsal
with Vader in his costume,
626
00:35:38,333 --> 00:35:41,250
but I never rehearsed with him
with the helmet on.
627
00:35:47,375 --> 00:35:50,500
They're setting up
for our first lightsaber battle.
628
00:35:51,833 --> 00:35:55,541
They put the marker board on
for whatever the scene is. Take one.
629
00:35:56,291 --> 00:35:57,791
And, action!
630
00:35:58,875 --> 00:36:03,875
I'm walking, and then I hear his feet
and I turn around.
631
00:36:04,458 --> 00:36:06,916
And Darth Vader is coming at me.
632
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,708
I was struck with absolute fear.
633
00:36:09,791 --> 00:36:12,083
It was real boyhood fear. It was like...
634
00:36:19,416 --> 00:36:21,916
It's the first time
I've lit my lightsaber in a long time.
635
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,583
So I don't really wanna face him. I'm not
ready to face him, but I take him on.
636
00:36:26,208 --> 00:36:30,625
Essentially, Vader is much stronger
than Obi-Wan at this moment,
637
00:36:30,833 --> 00:36:33,875
and he really kinda kicks his ass
and burns him in the fire,
638
00:36:33,958 --> 00:36:36,750
and a lot of the history
is coming up with the fire.
639
00:36:38,416 --> 00:36:40,833
But it's more about just coming to terms
640
00:36:40,916 --> 00:36:44,291
and dealing with this monster
that he helped create.
641
00:36:50,291 --> 00:36:52,458
I'm feeling very like Darth Sidious.
642
00:36:53,208 --> 00:36:56,416
It is a lot to play somebody
who's on the dark side.
643
00:36:58,333 --> 00:37:02,916
There is an intensity and there is an
emotional commitment and drive to them.
644
00:37:09,916 --> 00:37:12,000
They're driven by anger and hate, and so,
645
00:37:12,083 --> 00:37:15,541
it's not an easy place
to stay in as a performer.
646
00:37:16,916 --> 00:37:19,333
There is a larger-than-life
component to it.
647
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:31,208
At this point in the galaxy, we have
a world that is quite a dark worldview.
648
00:37:32,166 --> 00:37:36,000
And there's a lot going on in the galaxy
that is definitely not right.
649
00:37:43,125 --> 00:37:45,666
A large part of what we're
trying to do with this story
650
00:37:45,750 --> 00:37:47,833
is ask "How do you retain your hope?"
651
00:37:48,625 --> 00:37:51,250
And "How do you find hope
in these dark times?"
652
00:37:56,208 --> 00:38:00,125
Take four-six-eight, take three.
Camera. Action.
653
00:38:07,791 --> 00:38:10,041
I've always thought
that Princess Leia, honestly,
654
00:38:10,125 --> 00:38:13,208
is one of the best female characters
that's ever been written
655
00:38:13,291 --> 00:38:16,083
and that's also combined
with Carrie Fisher.
656
00:38:16,333 --> 00:38:19,083
I feel like a lot of times, nowadays,
people are saying,
657
00:38:19,166 --> 00:38:20,846
"Oh, it's a strong woman and she's tough,"
658
00:38:20,875 --> 00:38:22,958
and it just means
that she's killing everybody,
659
00:38:23,041 --> 00:38:24,750
and Carrie was not like that.
660
00:38:24,833 --> 00:38:27,958
Carrie, in Princess Leia,
you had somebody that was a rebel,
661
00:38:28,041 --> 00:38:30,208
was a fighter,
but she was also intelligent,
662
00:38:30,291 --> 00:38:33,458
she was funny, but she could also be warm,
she could be loving.
663
00:38:33,541 --> 00:38:37,583
And she really kinda had this
multi-dimensional characterization
664
00:38:37,666 --> 00:38:39,708
that was just wonderful.
665
00:38:43,041 --> 00:38:47,208
One of the things for me that I really
wanted to acknowledge in the series
666
00:38:47,291 --> 00:38:49,416
without getting too heavy-handed about it
667
00:38:49,500 --> 00:38:53,333
was this sense that, there's obviously
been a lot of focus on Luke Skywalker
668
00:38:53,416 --> 00:38:55,291
and his contribution to the galaxy,
669
00:38:55,375 --> 00:38:57,541
but I feel like with Princess Leia,
670
00:38:57,625 --> 00:38:59,625
I don't think he could have
done it without her.
671
00:38:59,708 --> 00:39:02,228
- What the hell are you doing?
- Somebody has to save our skins.
672
00:39:02,583 --> 00:39:05,666
And she was the one
who organized all the rebels,
673
00:39:05,750 --> 00:39:07,875
she was there fighting the war,
674
00:39:07,958 --> 00:39:10,625
she was there kinda doing
all the other side of it
675
00:39:10,708 --> 00:39:14,666
and I think the two of them really,
they did it together in a lot of ways.
676
00:39:14,750 --> 00:39:17,500
That was something
that I really loved about the series
677
00:39:17,583 --> 00:39:21,541
is that we were getting a chance to
acknowledge that she played a pivotal role
678
00:39:21,625 --> 00:39:23,833
in allowing
everything to happen as it did.
679
00:39:24,500 --> 00:39:28,666
It's not like anyone would miss me
if I wasn't there.
680
00:39:29,125 --> 00:39:30,208
I'd miss you.
681
00:39:30,291 --> 00:39:32,333
All I ever do is wave.
682
00:39:32,416 --> 00:39:34,666
For any performer,
let alone a child,
683
00:39:34,750 --> 00:39:38,458
trying to take on the legacy of
Princess Leia and Carrie Fisher
684
00:39:38,541 --> 00:39:40,041
is incredibly difficult.
685
00:39:40,541 --> 00:39:43,041
But Vivien just kinda
had the essence of her,
686
00:39:43,125 --> 00:39:44,958
and I think that was the main thing.
687
00:39:45,083 --> 00:39:46,708
Try to reason with her.
688
00:39:46,958 --> 00:39:49,833
So, think of your own mom a minute.
How do you win your mom?
689
00:39:49,916 --> 00:39:52,166
- What does she respond to the most?
- Um...
690
00:39:53,750 --> 00:39:56,250
Hugs. Usually.
691
00:39:56,666 --> 00:39:58,416
I'm sorry, Mother.
692
00:39:58,500 --> 00:40:00,000
I really am.
693
00:40:00,625 --> 00:40:02,625
I promise I won't do it again.
694
00:40:05,666 --> 00:40:08,625
Vivien's brilliant,
just brilliant to work with.
695
00:40:08,708 --> 00:40:11,708
You know, I can feel you doing that.
696
00:40:11,791 --> 00:40:16,916
She had all of the wit and cheek
of Carrie Fisher's Princess Leia.
697
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,250
She had the same job to do
as I had with Alec.
698
00:40:20,625 --> 00:40:26,333
I actually started on the
Star Wars books,
and I learned how to read with those.
699
00:40:26,416 --> 00:40:29,541
And
Star Wars, of course,
the moment I saw him on the page,
700
00:40:29,625 --> 00:40:31,208
I fell in love with R2-D2.
701
00:40:31,875 --> 00:40:33,875
I didn't know Vivien
before we started,
702
00:40:33,958 --> 00:40:36,666
and so the story line
and the reality of shooting
703
00:40:36,750 --> 00:40:40,041
are somewhat side by side in that
we didn't know each other very well
704
00:40:40,125 --> 00:40:44,166
and then we got to know each other
better and better as we shot the series.
705
00:40:44,250 --> 00:40:46,458
So, it went hand in hand really.
706
00:40:46,541 --> 00:40:52,125
She was never anything but fully
enthusiastic and she's a passionate actor.
707
00:40:52,958 --> 00:40:56,208
If you're a real Jedi, why aren't you
using your lightsaber?
708
00:40:56,291 --> 00:40:57,791
Because we're in hiding.
709
00:40:58,375 --> 00:40:59,416
Convenient.
710
00:40:59,500 --> 00:41:03,125
Unless, you can't do Jedi stuff and
that lightsaber is completely stolen.
711
00:41:03,333 --> 00:41:04,625
Make me float.
712
00:41:06,208 --> 00:41:08,541
I'd really thought that she nailed it,
713
00:41:08,625 --> 00:41:11,958
like I could feel
Princess Leia in her, you know.
714
00:41:14,083 --> 00:41:16,791
And she loves droids
more than anything in the world.
715
00:41:17,375 --> 00:41:19,625
Vivien loves droids.
716
00:41:19,708 --> 00:41:21,333
We did those scenes yesterday...
717
00:41:26,083 --> 00:41:28,416
I've got four children
who are girls,
718
00:41:28,500 --> 00:41:32,125
so I'm familiar
with the looking after of girl children.
719
00:41:33,958 --> 00:41:36,375
And although Obi's not a father,
720
00:41:36,458 --> 00:41:39,666
that's what she brings out of him
through the arc of our series.
721
00:41:40,541 --> 00:41:45,750
A more paternal sense to him that
life isn't just about living by the book.
722
00:41:46,583 --> 00:41:51,375
At first, he doesn't trust her
to be able to look after herself,
723
00:41:52,083 --> 00:41:54,875
and then he slowly realizes
she's not only able to,
724
00:41:54,958 --> 00:41:58,291
but by the end she's
absolutely involved in the escape.
725
00:41:58,666 --> 00:42:03,750
So, he's found a trust in her and
she brings out a more human side to him.
726
00:42:06,916 --> 00:42:09,041
One thing that Star Wars
does make you feel
727
00:42:09,125 --> 00:42:11,375
is you feel the connection to family.
728
00:42:12,125 --> 00:42:15,666
I think a lot of these films, for me,
and I think for a lot of people I know,
729
00:42:15,750 --> 00:42:18,208
Star Wars
was something
you saw with your family,
730
00:42:18,291 --> 00:42:21,541
and so, your family sort of
tied in to the experience of it.
731
00:42:23,291 --> 00:42:26,125
One of the things that was
really interesting in bringing back
732
00:42:26,208 --> 00:42:29,791
a lot of the legacy characters is that
they know these characters.
733
00:42:29,875 --> 00:42:34,416
They have also lived with these characters
and lived in the public perception,
734
00:42:34,500 --> 00:42:36,791
as being these characters for years.
735
00:42:41,916 --> 00:42:45,333
Hayden is Anakin Skywalker,
and he knows this.
736
00:42:46,083 --> 00:42:48,500
So, to have them bring all that knowledge,
737
00:42:48,583 --> 00:42:52,000
and it's more than knowledge,
it's more instinct and emotional.
738
00:42:52,666 --> 00:42:56,500
They just know what feels right
for their characters. It's invaluable.
739
00:42:58,958 --> 00:43:02,000
It's a very
meditative process for me.
740
00:43:03,083 --> 00:43:07,958
Sometimes my mind wanders, mostly about
the scene we're about to do.
741
00:43:09,583 --> 00:43:12,375
The difference between
Anakin and Darth Vader...
742
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,333
Is Anakin completely gone or not?
743
00:43:16,916 --> 00:43:21,458
He is fully Darth Vader,
he is fully consumed by the dark side,
744
00:43:22,458 --> 00:43:27,375
but I like to believe that there's always
a little bit of Anakin still in there.
745
00:43:28,416 --> 00:43:31,041
As it was explained to me by George Lucas,
746
00:43:31,750 --> 00:43:35,375
even when he becomes Darth Vader,
and even when he's
747
00:43:37,041 --> 00:43:40,583
fully immersed in the dark side,
he is still the Chosen One.
748
00:43:45,291 --> 00:43:49,625
As the series goes on, it's becoming
more and more about Obi-Wan and Vader
749
00:43:49,708 --> 00:43:52,750
and about the inevitable collision
that's about to happen.
750
00:43:54,125 --> 00:43:57,958
At this point,
Obi-Wan is at his full powers again
751
00:43:58,208 --> 00:44:01,916
and he is strong
and his mind is at peace finally
752
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,458
and he realizes that he has to meet Vader.
753
00:44:08,291 --> 00:44:11,208
Three, two, one, action!
754
00:44:15,666 --> 00:44:17,791
We looked at
a lot of the prequel fighting,
755
00:44:17,875 --> 00:44:21,458
'cause we wanted to tie into it
to show this is sort of the origins
756
00:44:21,541 --> 00:44:23,208
and this is how they are trained.
757
00:44:23,833 --> 00:44:27,708
And then we started to take it bigger
and add some more modern elements to it.
758
00:44:29,166 --> 00:44:32,000
And as the fight went on,
nobody can get the high ground.
759
00:44:32,083 --> 00:44:35,000
They will fight to the death,
that's how this is gonna go.
760
00:44:37,875 --> 00:44:40,333
Obi-Wan gets the upper hand in the fight,
761
00:44:40,416 --> 00:44:41,875
and cracks Vader's mask,
762
00:44:44,291 --> 00:44:47,208
sees his former apprentice
one last time,
763
00:44:47,291 --> 00:44:50,875
tries to connect with Anakin
and gets rejected.
764
00:44:51,416 --> 00:44:53,083
So, it's a heartbreaking scene.
765
00:44:54,041 --> 00:44:56,666
I think there's something
about the acceptance,
766
00:44:56,750 --> 00:44:59,708
more than, he's then able to kill him,
which he doesn't do.
767
00:44:59,791 --> 00:45:04,250
He's able to walk away
from carrying this terrible guilt.
768
00:45:04,416 --> 00:45:09,791
He sees that Anakin is no longer there,
that Vader is Vader.
769
00:45:09,875 --> 00:45:12,958
So he's able to move on.
There's a bit of closure for Obi-Wan.
770
00:45:14,666 --> 00:45:17,750
With Vader, a large part
of what we were trying to do is
771
00:45:18,666 --> 00:45:23,500
show this emotional drive
that Vader has about Obi-Wan
772
00:45:23,583 --> 00:45:26,166
is that that's
something that he has to let go of.
773
00:45:26,958 --> 00:45:28,838
Okay, Ian, you good?
IAN McDIARMID: Good.
774
00:45:30,791 --> 00:45:33,208
In the final scene
with Vader and Palpatine,
775
00:45:33,291 --> 00:45:35,916
that's what Palpatine
is trying to say to him,
776
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:39,541
is that obsession with Obi-Wan
is weakness.
777
00:45:39,625 --> 00:45:41,250
If you're gonna live in the past,
778
00:45:41,333 --> 00:45:44,000
this emotional Vader that's coming out
779
00:45:44,375 --> 00:45:46,625
is not what we need for the future.
780
00:45:47,208 --> 00:45:52,125
I wonder if your thoughts
are clear on this, Lord Vader.
781
00:45:53,125 --> 00:45:59,000
Perhaps your feelings for your old master
have left you weakened.
782
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,250
Because obviously, we can play that
with more of an edge
783
00:46:03,333 --> 00:46:05,208
and some that are more casual.
784
00:46:05,291 --> 00:46:07,916
Just feel free to do a range in there.
785
00:46:08,583 --> 00:46:10,708
Does everything else
feel like it's making sense?
786
00:46:10,791 --> 00:46:13,958
Yes, I think so. I keep forgetting
the word "execute" for some reason.
787
00:46:14,041 --> 00:46:15,976
You'd think that would be
a word you could remember.
788
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:17,583
Yeah.
789
00:46:19,791 --> 00:46:22,833
So he's forced
into letting go of the past
790
00:46:22,916 --> 00:46:24,708
in order to be able to move forward
791
00:46:24,791 --> 00:46:27,458
and become the Darth Vader
that will move into A New Hope.
792
00:46:33,208 --> 00:46:35,000
At the end of our series,
793
00:46:35,083 --> 00:46:38,208
there's a great growth from
this broken faithless man
794
00:46:38,291 --> 00:46:39,750
at the beginning to the end,
795
00:46:39,833 --> 00:46:44,208
he's had to accept that this is who he is
and he's got his faith back.
796
00:46:45,541 --> 00:46:48,041
And Qui-Gon does finally appear. Yeah.
797
00:46:48,458 --> 00:46:50,333
It was so amazing to work with Liam again,
798
00:46:50,416 --> 00:46:53,791
because, of course, I only worked
with Liam in the first film, you know.
799
00:46:54,458 --> 00:46:58,916
So amazing to see him again as Qui-Gon,
you know. It's just incredible.
800
00:47:00,458 --> 00:47:02,750
I spoke to Deborah
a number of months ago.
801
00:47:03,333 --> 00:47:07,375
And she told me that
Ewan was going to do this series
802
00:47:07,458 --> 00:47:10,208
and Deborah's,
"Just something towards the end
803
00:47:10,291 --> 00:47:15,416
"where Obi-Wan has gone through some
journey and he's reaching out for help...
804
00:47:16,583 --> 00:47:19,083
"and you're not there,"
that's Qui-Gon Jinn.
805
00:47:19,958 --> 00:47:22,833
"And then, he sees you."
806
00:47:24,541 --> 00:47:27,875
And I thought, "Yeah, I'm on board,
I'm definitely on board with that."
807
00:47:29,083 --> 00:47:32,041
It was at once very familiar,
808
00:47:32,666 --> 00:47:34,625
and at the same time, I kept thinking,
809
00:47:34,708 --> 00:47:39,625
"Wait a minute, it's 24 years
since we made
The Phantom Menace."
810
00:47:41,333 --> 00:47:43,916
And here we were
with a whole brand-new crew.
811
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:45,833
Deborah, this wonderful director.
812
00:47:45,916 --> 00:47:47,625
It was lovely to see Ewan.
813
00:47:47,708 --> 00:47:50,250
And so the myth
and the storytelling goes on.
814
00:47:53,666 --> 00:47:57,291
Obi-Wan has re-established
a connection with Qui-Gon,
815
00:47:57,375 --> 00:48:01,000
and he's back to being
the Obi-Wan that we knew and loved.
816
00:48:02,041 --> 00:48:06,125
And it's because of Leia,
and it's because of characters like Tala,
817
00:48:06,250 --> 00:48:09,708
who bring that faith back to him,
who bring hope back to him.
818
00:48:11,541 --> 00:48:12,541
A New Hope.
819
00:48:14,375 --> 00:48:15,833
That's pretty good, isn't it?
820
00:48:18,708 --> 00:48:20,541
- Rolling.
- Okay, rolling.
821
00:48:20,625 --> 00:48:21,625
Rolling.
822
00:48:21,791 --> 00:48:24,875
Here we go. And, action.
823
00:48:28,666 --> 00:48:29,666
And cut.
824
00:48:29,958 --> 00:48:31,101
Cutting.
825
00:48:32,250 --> 00:48:37,083
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen,
that is a wrap, wrap!
826
00:48:51,583 --> 00:48:54,750
So I just wanna thank everyone
from the bottom of my heart.
827
00:48:54,833 --> 00:48:57,875
I know this was
a hugely long, epic journey.
828
00:48:57,958 --> 00:49:01,333
I know it was super tough
and our ambitions were so high.
829
00:49:01,625 --> 00:49:03,208
But I feel like we matched them
830
00:49:03,291 --> 00:49:05,833
and that's, honestly,
because of all of you guys,
831
00:49:05,916 --> 00:49:08,041
'cause everybody
was here working tirelessly
832
00:49:08,125 --> 00:49:10,750
and everything is reflected on screen.
833
00:49:10,833 --> 00:49:13,833
So, from the top of the call sheet
right down to the very bottom,
834
00:49:13,916 --> 00:49:15,291
thank you from all of us.
835
00:49:20,791 --> 00:49:24,625
I've got some cigars left over
from when my wee boy was born.
836
00:49:24,708 --> 00:49:26,791
Disney won't like this very much,
will they?
837
00:49:28,083 --> 00:49:30,166
Cool. Anyway, death sticks are over here.
838
00:49:41,166 --> 00:49:42,250
Hello there.
839
00:49:43,458 --> 00:49:46,125
I don't think
there's anything like Star Wars.
840
00:49:47,041 --> 00:49:48,916
It's just everywhere.
841
00:49:51,041 --> 00:49:53,708
I often think about George,
back in the '70s,
842
00:49:53,791 --> 00:49:57,916
writing A New Hope
and what he must feel
about what he's created.
843
00:49:58,875 --> 00:50:00,875
For her lines,
it's better for her to be out.
844
00:50:00,958 --> 00:50:02,916
It's better for her
to be on this side of you.
845
00:50:03,541 --> 00:50:06,125
It's so that she's closest to Luke.
846
00:50:06,625 --> 00:50:07,625
Action!
847
00:50:13,791 --> 00:50:17,166
It's extraordinary,
how large the breadth of it is.
848
00:50:19,291 --> 00:50:22,541
It's important, I think,
to be mindful of that.
849
00:50:26,333 --> 00:50:30,208
There's certainly nothing that I've ever
done that has a fan base like this.
850
00:50:31,458 --> 00:50:34,708
It's global, it's international,
it's all over the world.
851
00:50:35,416 --> 00:50:36,416
Action!
852
00:50:38,875 --> 00:50:41,458
It's been a great honor
and a privilege
853
00:50:41,541 --> 00:50:43,041
to get to play this character.
854
00:50:45,125 --> 00:50:49,916
The gift that George Lucas gave me
when he cast me in this role was profound.
855
00:50:53,958 --> 00:50:56,416
Coming back now
to do more with this character,
856
00:50:56,500 --> 00:51:00,208
I just felt a big responsibility,
not only to George,
857
00:51:00,291 --> 00:51:02,875
but to all of these people
858
00:51:02,958 --> 00:51:07,083
that have contributed to making
this character so great and iconic.
859
00:51:10,833 --> 00:51:13,916
Star Wars
has this staying power.
860
00:51:16,916 --> 00:51:19,958
And I think that's because
we're able to learn about ourselves
861
00:51:20,041 --> 00:51:21,875
and the world around us through them.
862
00:51:22,458 --> 00:51:24,333
And we learn about good and evil,
863
00:51:24,416 --> 00:51:25,875
and what it is to be a hero,
864
00:51:26,291 --> 00:51:29,000
giving yourself to something
bigger than you.
865
00:51:29,750 --> 00:51:32,000
It's a mythology that has
now allowed others
866
00:51:32,083 --> 00:51:33,708
to come in and build upon.
867
00:51:35,125 --> 00:51:37,708
It's exciting to see the saga continue.
868
00:51:39,041 --> 00:51:42,916
Coming into the Star Wars
galaxy
and getting to be part of this world,
869
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:44,166
it's pretty special.
870
00:51:44,750 --> 00:51:46,083
It's in everybody's life.
871
00:51:46,166 --> 00:51:48,500
Everybody's grown up with it
in some respect.
872
00:51:49,125 --> 00:51:52,458
Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi,
you're my only hope.
873
00:51:53,291 --> 00:51:56,125
So many people have
such an emotional relationship to it
874
00:51:56,208 --> 00:51:59,541
and so, it is quite meaningful in
the broader context of your life.
875
00:52:02,666 --> 00:52:06,541
The Star Wars
audience, there's so many
different generations involved in it
876
00:52:06,625 --> 00:52:09,958
and there are so many
people who care so passionately about it.
877
00:52:10,583 --> 00:52:12,541
George Lucas created these characters
878
00:52:12,625 --> 00:52:16,250
that are so rich and that have
such huge inner lives.
879
00:52:16,333 --> 00:52:18,250
And so taking on these characters
880
00:52:18,333 --> 00:52:21,083
and trying to tell
the middle part of the journey,
881
00:52:21,166 --> 00:52:23,583
I feel hugely fortunate
to be able to do this,
882
00:52:23,666 --> 00:52:26,291
but also a big responsibility
to trying to do it right.
883
00:52:57,625 --> 00:52:59,666
Celebration,
I'm one hundred percent on board
884
00:52:59,750 --> 00:53:01,458
for everything that takes place today.
885
00:53:01,541 --> 00:53:03,958
Emotions, overwhelming, phenomenal.
886
00:53:04,291 --> 00:53:06,375
Totally happy, excited.
887
00:53:06,458 --> 00:53:09,416
We're really excited to see
what's behind those doors over there.
888
00:53:09,500 --> 00:53:11,184
I know.
My mind is blown right now.
889
00:53:11,208 --> 00:53:13,416
I'm like, I can't even wait,
the anticipation.
890
00:53:20,833 --> 00:53:23,708
It's pretty crazy for us
'cause not only are we at Celebration,
891
00:53:23,791 --> 00:53:25,541
but we're also premiering the show.
892
00:53:25,625 --> 00:53:29,000
And to have it all come
to this giant culmination
893
00:53:29,083 --> 00:53:33,208
it's a mixture where you feel nervous,
but you also feel incredibly excited.
894
00:53:34,625 --> 00:53:37,125
We've kinda been
building up to this for a while,
895
00:53:37,208 --> 00:53:39,958
the excitement is palpable,
896
00:53:40,041 --> 00:53:43,666
and it's a big deal for me
to get to be back and do this.
897
00:53:43,750 --> 00:53:46,583
I'm excited to see
what they make of it tonight.
898
00:53:46,666 --> 00:53:48,208
It'll be cool to see.
899
00:53:49,333 --> 00:53:51,041
How's everybody doing?
900
00:53:55,458 --> 00:53:58,375
I can't hear you!
901
00:54:02,958 --> 00:54:06,708
Obi-Wan! Obi-Wan! Obi-Wan!
902
00:54:30,083 --> 00:54:33,500
Hello there,
Star Wars Celebration!
903
00:54:37,166 --> 00:54:38,958
We are back!
904
00:54:45,666 --> 00:54:48,500
I was actually very even keel
going out there.
905
00:54:49,416 --> 00:54:51,541
And then I heard the audience
and I was like,
906
00:54:51,625 --> 00:54:56,250
"Oh, my God! This is really happening.
"People are really about to see this."
907
00:55:03,375 --> 00:55:05,583
I've never been
to a Celebration before,
908
00:55:05,666 --> 00:55:07,875
so I just wanted to see
what that feels like
909
00:55:07,958 --> 00:55:10,583
and meet real, real
Star Wars fans.
910
00:55:12,250 --> 00:55:13,875
I'm just so emotional,
911
00:55:14,041 --> 00:55:19,625
a 50-year-old man crying like I was
in the movie theater in 1977.
912
00:55:22,875 --> 00:55:25,500
It's nice to see Ewan
back in this role,
913
00:55:25,958 --> 00:55:28,625
having Hayden come back
and step in as Darth Vader,
914
00:55:28,708 --> 00:55:30,708
it was just such a great pairing.
915
00:55:33,875 --> 00:55:34,875
Kinda like us.
916
00:55:37,791 --> 00:55:40,416
You know,
this whole experience has been
917
00:55:40,500 --> 00:55:42,000
rather emotional for me.
918
00:55:42,083 --> 00:55:44,250
I couldn't help
but get a little bit choked up.
919
00:55:47,958 --> 00:55:51,625
There's this warmth
from the kids who we made those films for.
920
00:55:52,208 --> 00:55:56,708
We were their Star Wars
in the same
way as Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford
921
00:55:56,791 --> 00:55:59,083
and Alec Guinness
were my
Star Wars films.
922
00:56:00,500 --> 00:56:02,625
We worked very hard for three years.
923
00:56:02,708 --> 00:56:03,958
And we did it for the fans.
924
00:56:04,041 --> 00:56:06,916
So, it was really nice to be able to
come out and share it with them.
