Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Behind the Scenes Documentary | Disney+

He came along like a breath of fresh air, someone who would attack this with a passion that JJ would. respond to her she already finished the ribbon rope, she gets the ribbon now she's running backwards 30 feet it's a pretty big gorge do you like the idea that there's like a half fallen tree and she runs up? the fallen tree, like this that just throws it over the gorge a little bit and she gets the height coming to come down, you'd believe it more, yeah, cool, cool, okay, nice, yeah, wait, boom, all the body language, that strong, take off , okay, and when it happens forget about the wires and then just put your arms through yeah, okay, okay, it's funny because I had heard several things about Eunice before I met her.

People call her intense and real. Tommy intention. Oh, I'm not tense at all. I'm having it. Lovely moment, this is great, she has the most incredible energy all the time, this is all you forget the ways you are doing this jump for real, yes just drive, sit and also all right, wrong cameras, please Please, speed of sound, sixteen, set up the camera and that's it. three two one action eunice came up to me at one point she said do you think you were as intense as last time? I said that's not the question it's eunice you're asking me to be more intense just ask me to be more in she's like yeah yeah be more intense so okay set three energy one action drive down , good deal, that's the only good girl, great job, giddy, that was great, the excitement on Eunice's face when we nailed it, she's like, I mean, it's just so you're so happy that she's happy.

I think every step that happens, she's really projecting herself into the role and doing it. Her entire body moves in front of the monitor as she observes every little detail of a stent. Eunice is confident that she is really exciting to work with, she is fierce in the way you want people to be and when you have people like that, you trust her opinion and it challenges you to do better and more specific. There was no way to break the ice without them, it's just like That's it, but I actually love it, I love it even in rehearsals, Adam is the character.

I'll go, Adam, you need to get out more. He's shutting you down and he's like, "No, no, I don't need to go out anymore." "Kylo Ren would do it." It wouldn't be like that, he wants it there, he wants it there and I would say yes, but yes, boy, and we would have this discussion, but I like it, the character is his

star

ting point, it is never from the show, it is always from within , he was. that's how it is, I do all my own stunts and I say, yeah, here we go, I always hear it, I say Adam, there's a level you can do and there's a level you can't, no, no, no, you're No, I do , I'm very protective of Kylo's whole physicality, so I wanted to do all the things that I was like, well, okay, if it looks good, you can do it if it doesn't.

That's cool, I'll put the stunner on. He has to look good, so, um, but he did everything. Welcome everyone, thank you for being here for being the evil team at the beginning of the movie. Kylo is the safest option. that he is delving deeper and deeper into the dark side. What jj told me when we met was that I imagine the journey of a character where he is almost the opposite of Vader, someone who almost

star

ts out as the most vulnerable and slowly becomes more vulnerable. closer to his convictions more certain of his choices he has metaphorically and physically killed his father the unique, very deeply emotional and troubling way in which Han Solo confronts his destiny helps realize the full potential of Adam Driver's character. what is human? brain that gives us the ability to be as evil as human beings have been that's what I want I wonder how it is possible for those people to exist compassion and greed we all have those two sides of us we have to make sure that those two sides of us us be in balance what happens when you go to the dark side as you become unbalanced at the heart of this film is a darkness, it is part of Ray's journey to confront this darkness that has been there since the beginning of the awakening of the force that We knew from the beginning that the movie would have a dark structure and would be about Ray's journey to the darkest place in the galaxy and for her, but we had to do a lot of work to try to figure out exactly what exactly it was. it meant how the past would enter the story how the present and the future would interact with that past the idea of ​​what would happen if Palpatine somehow lived came up within about 30 seconds of discussing that idea, we just knew it was the right idea because we knew that This has always been a Skywalker and Palpatine story, it's a generational story and the idea of ​​the story of these grandchildren dealing with the same things their predecessors dealt with felt poetic, my favorite scene from the prequels that Palpatine tells.

Anakin's story of Darth Plagueis the wise man and his obsession with cheating death and it sits there as the best setup of all time. The dark side of the force is a path to many abilities that some consider unnatural, so it could be this unholy combination. of trying to prolong life both through medical means and through dark magic. Love that already looks like his action figure. I feel like I got third time lucky when George saw me for 10 minutes all those years ago for Return of the Jedi. suddenly I was the emperor of the universe so getting this call was once again an extraordinary experience for the third time this is fantastic it's so good it's still crazy it's crazy it's crazy actually you're having more crazy moments welcome young Skywalker I've got you been waiting for it's like he has this instrument that can go from a whisper to a mega roar, it sounds like he has a tiger purring in his throat and that makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up, this is the complete emperor now. exploding like he always was and it's clear that although I have the best makeup artist in the business, he doesn't, I hadn't seen him in his suit until that day and it was incredible the way it was described in the script. creepy and so strange and disturbing i just want to see ian be the emperor again i'm really excited about that look what have you done the idea that this is an ancient place a place where maybe the sith really started from the beginning the ideas don't they only come from the script, there is a visualization process that also invokes the creation of ideas, this feeling is so dramatic, you know, I mean this tumultuous and stormy feeling, it would be great to talk to dom about what methods we can employ to create. that feeling like it's a crazy storm and just do it, you know, in front of the camera, one thing that jj always impressed me with was the fact that rey has to feel small, we have to feel like small people in a huge world, the context is I'm under I'm an ant under a giant's shoe when we did this a man was going to be so tall now a man is going to be so tall so these are absolutely giants what we're talking about is if we cast someone we want See, the mass becomes something that is a choice and that is why you put it on, yes, it is almost strange that it is a vulnerability, putting on the mask makes you feel more powerful.

Jj wanted Kylo Ren to have the helmet, but we had to address the fact that he had destroyed it in episode 8. There is a technique the Japanese use when they break pottery and put it back together with gold. It's always very obvious that the piece was broken once, instead of the gold we put it in a bright red, it's really good that his honor kills you, you know, if you have to go, that's the way to go, so that you will be sitting. One of the background players is none other than Sir Alec Guinness's granddaughter, Sally Guinness, right here, Sally Action that is.

It's very exciting to be here, isn't it crazy? I've gone over to the dark side, apparently, isn't it sad what happened? 217, it takes nine, one second and this is a moment where things are getting particularly bad for the bad guys, so I wanted to feel like things were a little out of control, but the idea is to try to find ways to keep things together. living thing It's not like an exercise and how much you can do at one time. The longer you can hold something and see it actually happen the more exciting it is, it's great work and then it ends with a close up of our friend Richard Graham.

You know, you can't go wrong with that guy. We recovered the scavenger's ship, but she escaped to Star Wars. a dream job come true you feel like a kid here and i have seen other team members do this too even though the switches and buttons are attached and that doesn't work this impulse just goes up and presses things it's very strong, It's like being a kid in the candy store, I mean there are some big name actors in this and they all feel the same way, we're all like yeah, I said to JJ, can you pinch me so I know I'm actually here today?

So that's my feeling about it: obvious delight because Donald is a good guy, it was extremely fun to get the status from him. I have the great pleasure of being shown the door by Richard Ugrandt, which is lovely, so it wouldn't be such a bad thing to do. I'm sure when we had a Star Wars weapon to take out General Hux it was an extraordinarily enjoyable thing, telling him we found our spy map, the other two I enjoyed while he made them, but there was the stress of the first time. The first time and then the second time everything is different and this time it's really nice to allow yourself to sit and look around a little and remember how wonderful it is to be in Star Wars the more emphatically you say yes. more fun I think it should be I'm the spy what you yes wait yes you yes we don't have much time yes we don't have much time yes yes we don't have time yes we don't have much Once I think my southern photographs had competitions to see who could forget their line first.

They overpowered the guard and forced me to be carried across the ship. What's happening? I'm sorry, what's his name? He was a coordinated starter. Loyal pride. Jesus. I said pride. Now this. is what happened at one point, I had to blatantly ask the director to please write this sentence that kept getting stuck in my brain on a card so I could at least look at it. No, all Ron is peaceful, we have no weapons. you would prefer another target, a military target, so tell it the name now many times it has dialogue that is impossible to say you can write it like Harrison says you can write it right there is no way to say it the real production was filmed in England and so was Star Wars due to the nature of the exotic environments that we deal with, we travel all over the world and we have things happening on several continents, actually evangeline and uh, there are no roads here, there are no facilities, there are no bathrooms, there is no power.

They have to play a little because their eyes are magical and they don't want to lose their eyes in a profile there is no food there is no drinking water and when they go to look this way it will come here we will leave this rod yes exactly I see and I see the eyeball of this one maybe like this a little like this we see any profile without wi-fi without internet there is nothing like that well as soon as we are well in this filter ladies and gentlemen, wait shoot please there are no buildings here there is nothing that ages where we are it is eternal the wadi rum desert was simply epic the immensity of the place already feels like a strange world I always like to go to a place that gives a much more real gravity to the scene I understand it better I feel like I'm really in the environment it feels like a proper trip we were in the desert for the first one from the beginning and now we are here from the last one it wasn't the first desert I had been into Star Wars since the first day in Tunisia in 1976, sand dunes and all that.

This was the Jordanian desert that Ralph Macquarie must have had in mind when he painted that original image of Threepio, strange and rugged. shapes with a sort of miasma of sand beneath them, so everything melted into one, it was touching in a way, it was like 3po coming home, no one understands 3po right now better than dancing. I visited Anthony at home and he showed me some of the looped dialogue, notes from Star Wars, Star Wars 1 and The Empire Strikes Back, so there are handwritten sheets saying I'm not going that way, it's too much. difficult or the moment when the empire strikes back. where it says that the chances of successfully navigating an asteroid field are three thousand seven hundred and twenty to one, but in the original it said that the chances of successfully navigating an asteroid field are 3725 to one and he changed it and He got rid of the five because the pacing was better, yeah, the way it ended in the movie, you know, in the other take, uh, when I said to Artur, you know, come on, come on, yeah, I've seen them, so they should be at the door. yeah, I don't know how you're going to cut it, but that'll end it, but it's a little complicated, just throw it all out and cut me out of this, make it easier, here's a way to tilt your head or lift it back.

That's you, only it says more likely than a person, the face itself has no expression, but I find that working with Tony Daniels, who plays the role, you read the expressions in that face, to me he has an incredibly mobile face, he look curious, it's, you know, when it's. In danger I can't help but make all the faces and smile or frown,seem worried even though I'm really behind something, no one can see what I'm doing, but by myself I'm doing all the actions and people come up and hold my face and say oh, I'll try this on and put it on and how do you wear it?

They take it away again because they can't stand it, you know, I don't know, there's something wrong with me that I can stand. What do you think you'd put your head in there? I wouldn't rather love 3po either. I think he's nice. Boy, I think he's having a hard time, but that's part of the magic. I remember at our dinner with the cast where everyone had started reading the script and Anthony hadn't read it yet, so he kept listening to everyone, oh my God, the role of 3 pio. In this movie, Threepio was suddenly part of the team again.

Since the first film, Ethio lived such a full life. It's been gratifying to give Anthony a bigger role and let him really move forward in the adventure because he's already done that. In the adventure from the beginning I started filming the ancestor festival, which is really crazy. I've never seen anything like this before and the amazing thing is that that's literally the line in the movie that ray says when you think about ray's journey through these movies. She hasn't seen much joy, she has only seen the difficulties of growing up as an orphan and then she has seen war and the whole point of the character of the world we discovered and created in Jordan is for her to see celebration and abundant joy. akiyakis were actually a design that happened quite early, but if you bend over and do this, you keep your arms long.

I'm starting to not really understand what body shape is, what I'm saying, so if you guys don't mind, just bend your knees and keep your arms extended, you know, and maybe move your head forward a little bit. , you know, yeah, that's cool, maybe if we had some prosthetic legs to see a couple of heroes, yeah, and the legs weren't just human legs in stockings, but we changed the anatomy a little bit, yeah, that could be really interesting if you thought of one or two you would say I understand them all. There are a few lines in the script that hint at what it could be. and then when we obviously started talking to JJ, we started sketching out ideas and thinking about something that, you know, feels like a desert, a desert creature that doesn't feel out of place here, baby rhinos, things like elephants, all of these things are pretty good places for pretty good creatures to look at, then obviously with Michael Kaplan in costume, when Michael started getting involved with them, the shape becomes a little more understandable, each one really requires a lot of fabric, so it was finding the right fabrics that we had to do.

We made many trips to different countries just to find the quantities we needed. We found a lot of fabrics in Italy outside of Florence. These huge warehouses. The most surprising thing about them is the sheer volume. We were given the difficult task of molding 450 creatures. We were talking about how we achieved this, obviously we couldn't get everyone on a plane and into a hotel, so there wouldn't be enough hotels, there wouldn't be enough infrastructure, so the idea was to work with the Geo-Ordinian soldiers and the local Jordanians here as well. The first part of today will be learning the ritual dance.

Again five six seven eight, they got so involved and they got involved and all of a sudden I started to see what it's going to be like in the next few weeks after training camp. week again and then obviously filming here we go five six here we go jj came and his feedback was great he loved it so take 10 minutes have a drink take a break we'll all be back you know talking to the artists . I mean a lot of them have never done this kind of work before, it's the first time for them and they're excited.

I felt incredible. I felt like a real alien. A very lucky work of art. The more I'm into it, the more. It's getting fun and I'm having a great time. It's really beautiful. Thank you. Thank you. That's the main. They are excited. They are interested and want to do it. That's all I can ask for. It's great and then Let's turn Robert's head and that was another army of people that were involved in that just to prepare the creatures. Normally we're used to one on one, or you have two or three people to dress and So this is so constant over the two hours that you really have to push them.

We just hooked you up with Kevin to get all those aliens on time to that set and train them and dance, that was pretty remarkable. I thought we came here for the first time in April and there was nothing here. We scanned this entire area and I helped put together a virtual version so jj could walk around with the headphones in the UK. Dick designed all the tents and now it's October. We've been here six weeks setting this up, so now, having the tents here and everyone in it is pretty special. We're excited to become homebodies.

I will move them every day. Basically, we're bringing the craziest mass puppet show. For Jordan, the headshake is incredible. Liam shook his head. I hope it worked. It's so good. It was a bit like putting on a big show. It didn't feel like filming. It felt much more carnivalesque about the whole thing. I have to say I'm very proud of all of our crowd, they are being very patient. It's a very hot day today. I had never seen anything like it. I have never seen so few seekers of the enthusiasm and joy they have brought. The commitment is extraordinary.

I have to stay calm and professional about it, but working with JJ has been amazing. We also made some little kids here who have a little role to play and that was really sweet because they were all hand puppets and we literally dug a trench and put almost 30 puppeteers under them, that's three people yeah so there's a lot of us under the floor here, well, they do a sweep for scorpions first thing in the morning before we go down here and scare them. We all saw some scorpion tracks in the sand the other day, so it was pretty exciting.

You're actually seeing a sort of version of the Star Wars world in one area. What you are seeing is the galaxy worth it. fighting for you, you have the room there, yeah, like that, you're training it, literally, relaxing, let it go. Chewbacca shot me in The Force Awakens and now I've slowly made my way through the entire cast, maybe everyone can have a The stormtroopers have discovered us and we have to flee. Easier said than done. In my case, we have a lot to do. We had a 20-day schedule. We decided to make a 16-day schedule.

The job hasn't changed significantly. It's not easy here, you see all the different departments working very hard, it can be really challenging conditions, well it's quite dusty and then you know you get dust occasionally, it's quite difficult to work in the desert, everything takes a little bit longer, that annoying. sand in the wind gets in the way my name is ali this is my first production and I just want to see the man from Chewbacca Chewbacca holla I love you I love you guys Chewbacca is my hero our bad boys end up going that way it's an exercise awesome to make the second unit I should say attack it attack it as it changes be malleable we're doing a really exciting explosion where we have three cameras here we go then guys we're shooting we only have one chance to get Okay I don't think there's a only person here who would like to be anywhere else right now, pretty safe and three two one, we're here to safely drown the heroes in the sinking sand without scaring them or hurting anyone.

We have unearthed this huge A crane was lowered into the hole in all these containers and thanks to the local military because they provided the excavator and the manpower to do it, so there are several platforms involved, one of which we can literally drag them to the bottom to that they are completely covered. Well, the stuff there are a couple of platforms where Daisy Ridley in particular can crawl across the beans to get to Chewbacca. She stands here and sinks into the sand as she moves forward, so we're using a combination of materials like this. Of them we are using black beans to simulate black sand because they are much easier to push.

Look, it's easy to find the set because here it's all black sand like these numbers, okay, apart from the effects team and the stunt team there are very detailed protocols that Dominic has on how we take care of the actors, what the hell is this? Kingfield says, try to grab something, the beans just come and cover us and you have to hold your breath for a moment. I knew it until they said cut and then they picked them up again and you breathed again and that was a little strange sometimes hi john like one two three four five eight nine ten I get a little claustrophobic I remember passing by the first time Yeah, and you have I had to hold my breath and, as if in panic, they stabbed me in the air.

I think people were joking about it, but it really was. Yes, horrible, ah, okay, I never told you what no, no, and I cut a beautiful piece of work. and it looks amazing but it's alpha, you go into some kind of quicksand but then you end up at the bottom of the quicksand, which is something jj always wanted to do. What's underneath, all that weird stuff is so good, this is like when you're a kid in the monster audience that you don't really know where it's going, it doesn't last forever and then essentially, like you always are, every time you do something like that, you are in the subconscious, now you learn things, what do you do? he learns, he learns what happened to his parents, he learns about his ability to heal even when faced with something that could be perceived as threatening and you look and there's a snake, a giant snake, a huge scary giant snake, oh my god, oh my god, and says. up and anthony there are so many new characters, situations and effects that I thought they would have used them all in the first star

wars

and you know, I came to the studio and there is something quite magical to see in a new monster that I saw one today Great kind of stain and, of course, it's very fun to act with all that and it's very stimulating.

I couldn't believe what the creature department had come up with with the most wonderful piece of engineering and puppetry because several members of the team recoiled inside. the quads and kind of rolling it and sliding it and behind it someone has this main arm, you know, and the face comes out, you know, swinging left and right, being like a big puppet of several people, we all have to work in synchronization. between us and if one of us runs out of time, everything falls apart and can seem a little clunky, so yeah, we all have to tune in to each other and really feel it, this is my favorite part.

I wanted to have something for the actors to react to, so they had a pretty impressive stand-in version of that creature that creates a much more immediate performance for jj to look at and look at and can the snake in that position come back? shots where you know you can still use the puppet, but for the most part we basically replaced it with a cg version of it, you can feel like it's taking something away from you, but you're focused on it and then I could do the inhale because I totally did it at the end when you were healing him, yeah, that's amazing, that's what acting is all about.

You can't go home and rehearse your reaction to a nine-foot ice monster breaking through a wall. I know you just have to go about the day and see what happens, but it's never boring. I love my life. I love my job. Obviously, when you start to see that everything is not okay, when they finally have this confrontation even though it's ostensibly this battle. to death, he clearly has an interest in her beyond just killing her, there have obviously been questions for three movies for Ray that culminated in this and in doing so she feels it was the only way she was going to be herself again.

Those questions that are like persistent, persistent lingerie, going off her with her and then on her shoulder, that's what I told JJ. I hope Adam and I have some things together because it's nice to see the differences. I don't want it to feel like an episode. 8 rey and kylo, so it has to be beyond, so there has to be anger there, but there also has to be sympathy and understanding and a real connection. Adam turns clockwise, I guess a little bit more, yeah, yeah, and then this time you'll have to catch. Morgan, so the fourth connection, which turns into the fight in his room, took about two or three days and was quite difficult.

I think it was the first fight we ever did, so in my mind I thought I'd just pick up Sinker Jimmy. Great we're going to Kojimi and then we were filming outside it was freezing cold and there were very technical things we had to do and some of the moves were really difficult and I thought I wouldn't have to do them and then obviously I had to do them sorry I I'm sorry, it's about the fight because he's huge, that was really my main concern, but then once we got into it, it was great because it's more like a choreographed dance and I felt like it was really worth it because I think we both really.

I knew what we were doing and how weWe felt and it was great. They sold you to protect you. Stop talking. Kojimi's set was one of the wildest I've ever seen. It is ethically great. It has street after transmission. It is like. stairs leading to stairs walls were easy windows were easy bloody ceilings 400 construction guys it's like running an army where is this in the script? this is the kajimi the snowy planet we wanted to reference the hidden fortress of curacao the original two guys in hidden fortress were basically the initial versions of 3po and r2 for people on a bigger adventure.

I went to high school in Japan and when I got in, I was very familiar with those ceilings, you know, the walls, the slanted angles and the giant slabs are based heavily on them. our tribute to kurosawa kajimi's idea how he looked how he actually felt here's a corner of the galaxy we should take a look at to see what they are Villages are like when the first order is busy so you say let's get out of here because I think it is the first blow and then the poetry, everything will be a little more risky.

Pretty cold here, surprisingly, Star Wars has these big, beautiful sets. You're not imagining much because you're actually in them. I feel like I'm in the galaxy right now. I'm going to win, set and back off. We knew we wanted to learn more about Poe. We wanted to learn more. about finn, but the challenge was to do that without stopping the movie, sometimes it takes a couple of tries, you know, a couple of tries, a couple of tries, there has to be another couple of tries. He was about 29 years old. They are everywhere we have to find another way There is a quote from Arthur Miller that says that every drama is the story of the birds coming home to sleep and I think that is true for everyone in the story's opponent the way we he left things with zory comes back in the movie to the shepherd seen at the monks' door, but he is not stupid enough to come back here.

I love that we get to go back to when he was a young badass. Poe and Zory have history. Well, he had a little moment in time. there where he got trapped in the spice ring, I think they were like a lot of people in Star Wars, they were surviving the only way possible, you were a spice runner, you were a stormtrooper, you were a spice runner. If you were a scavenger, we could do this all night, you know, she takes your guy out, it's a really cool reward for her, I could cover her. I have three kids, but I've never done anything that my kid thought was cool until this. jj yes, it will be the one from twilight and the one from retreat in action, okay, so carrier raises the gun with that shot jj told me she wanted me to always be this attractive, wondering who she was, like seeing people and them not they see you very disconcerting action I've saved enough to go out I'm going to the colonies do you want to come with me when the visor goes up and you see those eyes that ended up being one of my favorite

scenes

to film because it's a real moment of connection and you don't often see Poe vulnerable, so sometimes these people from your past who knew you in a different light say that thing that reminds you of who you are, so we're in Babble Frick's droid shop. and we have manufactured hundreds of robot parts in the stage and props department.

Now if you look up you will see several heads, some of which have been seen before, some of which are completely new and will always hit your head, possibly if someone knows Ralph Macquarie. concepts and stuff based on their complexity are closely interconnected with a complete mess, so we have one of the other, I'm not sure which. Our team, fortunately, is well versed in Star Wars, greevils, greebles, was the word apparently invented in the first one. Star Wars movie and there are numerous pieces of greebly, which is an English term for dressing barge aircraft parts that are made to look into some sort of space configuration, it's to make something look more technologically advanced than it actually is. and it can be as simple as just adding a couple of little buttons and a little shiny thing, it can be a verb or a noun, we'll look for some greebles, we're out of greebles, this has taken, I think it's about two or three months to get this amount of stuff and that's the team that works every day producing stuff, we've also made a very special gallery of items to commemorate john williams' involvement here, let's do it john williams was having lunch with kathy kennedy and the idea of ​​his Kathy told me it was in the movie and we were both like, well, we have to do this and I was like oh no, no, that's too dumb, I couldn't possibly do that and then I mentioned it to my wife Samantha and she was like: You have to that's more important than making the soundtrack of the movie where you have to be in it. 3po looks at you and you just don't like them at all and you can even shake your head a little bit and go back to your thing and you just that's the moment and the camera will zoom in and do it again and it will be fantastic.

I can do it. Do you mind if I make an embarrassing little speech for anyone who doesn't know and I think everyone is nice? He does it and it is probably dizzying in its own way, but just to say it so that we are all aware that we are in the presence of a supernatural genius, someone who does the impossible, someone who is now an actor, ladies and gentlemen, one of the only master , Mr. John Williams, 40 years old, so let's now play the last piece here, which was the first piece in 1976, 1976, when I was 12 years old.

It's okay, and it sounds like that when we recorded the music for the first movie. None of us had the idea that we would hear the music again. I feel very privileged to have been able to do them all to this point. I don't think there's anything like it in the history of cinema, but we have the opportunity for decades to take the same material, use it again and add something to it, change the voice and rework it every time there is an incredible theme, something that in three notes you know exactly what is it, the music he writes is so profoundly good and incredibly moving you just can't believe it didn't exist before you heard it it's just so strange his super power and equally amazing is his almost crazy humility like he wrote something and then he directed it and you're just crying and it literally turns around it looks that good that's fine what's happening all I can do is put notes on the paper with a pencil you know and it stops there and I need an orchestra to play the music and it stops there and then you I need to have the third element which is the audience sending what they send and then that comes full circle and that's what musical communication is - watching him work is amazing and he's such a nice guy Daisy that's for you, it's okay, it's okay.

Huge, see here, I think I'm going to leave fingerprints. Oh, come on, that's your first page. He's had 51 Oscar nominations and we thought it would be fun to do something as a kind of celebration of what he's done and who he is. They are surrounded by all this apparent rubbish, yes, each element has been deliberately chosen to represent one of the 51 Academy Award nominated films, so not only is there a hook behind you, oh my god, this is jaws, there is an e.t taking Private Ryan Tom Sawyer. It's kind of interesting to find out, we find out that the corncob pipe is from the book thief.

We have put letters from the Star Wars alphabet or brush like j t w, which are the initials of John Williams. Oh, there's the Indiana Jones whip, that's the home iron alone and simply. Seeing the man we have been listening to all our lives and who has moved us so deeply. It was great to work with him in that way and he was so charming and seemed to have a great time. great energy let's set up three two one action that was fantastic bobby frick can you help us with this now? This is the one that does the operation in the 3-position circuit. a certain bob a frick is a rod puppet that goes back to the old way of puppets so Um you have your puppet and you just put rods on the limbs and the puppeteers will move it so that's the simplest version of it , but obviously we would machine the fingers and toes and the face and all that stuff, oh my gosh, look at that.

It's particularly small for an animatronic, let's go to this little head, there are 13 microservos and they all activate individually so we can mix them up a little bit, you know, in the original movies, I was never in my dressing room, you know? when he was, he wasn't in a scene, they always knew he would be in Stuart Freeburn's shop. I remember Stuart whipping the green foam they were going to pour into Yoda's mold. He said, "You want to pour some." I told him yes. You're kidding, the most complex, the most sophisticated, it's the smallest, it's Yoda, it's only two feet tall and of course it has to have every possible animation, which is difficult and such a small creature that it could even steal. the photo that would be great if I did, it's such a small space to work in, so it's about getting as many expressions in this little head as possible, partly because it will be great to have on set and partly because I want to show it.

I realize that I can put a lot into a small punch, the more impossible it is, in the end you manage to do it, that is when of course it is much more satisfying, so keep in mind that this is the first time and maybe a little faster. blinks, you know, maybe just to be a little more alert, you know what I mean, that helps, yeah, that's cool, it's unusual for an actress to do that or have experience as a puppeteer, well, it's not common, no, I met the creature team. They were amazing and they handed me this machine and told me I had to learn to work my mouth very quickly and I didn't know that was going to happen, that was a little scary, it's just that it's a mouth, whatever you can see if I do This is actually the first time we've done this.

We have had the talent of performing the mouth at the same time as presenting the dialogue, which is very fun, very good and she learned it very quickly. Thanks thanks. A lot of times we had another puppeteer do the voice on set and then they would dub it in ADR, but it's great because the character is very strong and, um, what Shirley has done with the character is great, so it's really good to have that ability. To get the other actors to interact with what she's doing and the action, I work with anyone who needs an accent, but I also invent new alien languages.

She was doing these things and Joe was listening to them and she was describing them as if things were coming to a close. things are tight and tight things like that, oh, that kind of thing, we play the beginning of this sound until it bubbles, yeah, it's cool, it's the blind blanket just discovering it like you and feeling it in your body, but then I believe it that way manner. and i offered it and then jj picks up the bits which he thinks is one of my favorite little plot twists. 3po loses in his memory rich comedic potential because you know he's written to get on people's nerves, but he always has really funny lines.

I've forgotten how much I have in all of space travel. You know, I always imagine three of you. I will be much happier. You know, at the opera serving hors d'oeuvres instead of rattling around the space. 3po is, uh, I think he looks a lot like an English butler. That particularly British type of person is very archaic and quite out of his time and, consequently, he finds all the things that happen in Star Wars, you know, the battles, the explosions, all the unpleasant characters like Darth Vader, he finds that Tony Freepio is in some very worrying situation.

You form the observer of all things and the memory of the saga, so when we were playing with different plots for 3po, it seemed like it was in his DNA that one of the plots was that he should lose his memory because he is always the one observing and commenting everything and if 3pl loses his memory it's like the tracking disappears because 3po is the keeper of history, now they will cut your neck and the wires will come out of there if you make him translate, he won't remember anything, please remember the whole leg is blank, If this mission fails, often star

wars

characters sacrifice themselves, I mean, think about Obi-Wan Kenobi, he went to fight the dark side of Darth Vader and sacrificed himself for everyone and now.

Threepio is doing the same thing and you know he's not quite ready to do it because he's going to be destroyed like himself. There will be a spark and you will probably hear that the fact that 3po is willing to sacrifice himself is because he belongs to the team he loves the human team with threepio I really think he is one of the most human characters in the movie could I introduce myself? I'm c-3po human cyborg relationships and you want, okay, that's going to be a problem hello. Hey bubble monster and then even from here you're going to say that's going to be a problem yeah there you go uh you could actually go from zory's line to babu's group saying and action come on come on , come on, okay, we're fine, thank you.

Hello, good morning, how are you doing? It should be OK. It's the biggest thing I've ever seen in my life. It's like there are more people than I've ever seen concentrating on one thing at a time, but it would be a little high just for the scale, yes, if you look at it from a wide perspective, you would see a perfect arc, theAtmosphere is so friendly and welcoming, it's the other way around, it's also really lovely to see the whole cast come together and know that I'm like the new girl, but as part of that same team, part of that same family, it makes the greatness of This movie is a little more personal.

Positions please, hard landing. I've seen worse. I've seen betters. My first day at Star Wars was. definitely memorable it's like a superimposed stimulus it was like all the things like so many people so many animals so many flies all the flying ants get up from the ground and decide it's their time to do whatever they have to do in the air and the insects, man, it was funny on set, you know, when things like that happen, we all react normally, the last bite and we keep moving, they attack you and they eat you, they were stuck everywhere filming like you can't control it. those things and things like that, but you still get the job done, unfortunately our stormy planet is not that stormy right now, so unfortunately we are waiting for the sun to come up, just the practicality of working in those conditions, you know, there are different problems that that creates. challenges that you know you have to overcome hey, so we're going to give up on this shot because it's never going to get cloudy, it's going to keep getting more and more frontal, so we're going to abandon this, she'll do it another time, what movie? it shouldn't go down to a low level seven of them are going up the hill and they see the stormy madness beyond and they see the wreck that way, one of the ideas that jj brought to episode nine that he had initially thought of.

In the early days of episode seven he was going to see a crashed piece of the Death Star. I was fascinated with the question of what it is to live after everything we saw in the original trilogy, so the idea of ​​pieces of things that we had seen that had been torn apart, there was something that was a little disturbing and kind of beautiful, it was one of those things that felt like an idea that suddenly finds its purpose for a long time that we knew there would be a moment in history when we will see the death star.

The first thing we wanted to do is go to the archives and take a look at the original model of this star. Look at this weird thing, so we went up, we took a bunch of photos, we wanted to really understand the curvature that the plate houses and then the texture itself, the texture of the death star is just as identifiable. You can see these types of bands that when you get really close you understand, oh. OMG one of those bands is actually the trench that Luke flies through, we ran into a really big problem because it's completely ridiculously huge and we found out that it was about 90 miles wide, it's too deep to fit in the ocean, it's too high to fit the atmosphere so we found we could barely get the dish on the horizon which we are very happy with and jj looked at it and said it was too convenient that we met by chance. the plate so we're kind of rebooting maybe just have a piece of the shell with a little bit of the plate on there to hopefully recognize it as what's from heaven bb8 it's a bad place on an old wall and then he'll pull out the sword and You'll see how it widens even as we deal with these big epic things in this movie, we find that the smallest details can sink you, like the way the sword interacts with the next stage of the journey.

Getting that right became a real challenge. This one here refers to being in leathers or you know, when it was flat, the sunlight literally saw all the way, it could be much simpler slab or tablet to be honest. the scrolls feel like a physical object, right, I don't know, ah, this thing, you know, these particular items, it's something that we've been struggling with, not just like we're struggling, but I think it's just struggling with the general idea of ​​where it is. it bleeds just because it's a story like that, if the right idea came along it would actually help the story, so it's helpful to look at them, but I don't know if any of these are the right ideas that would have been what we're saying. it was made after the event, the second jedi, yes the second death star, to transmit the information about where the wayfinder was to other sith, it would have had to be more durable because you know it would have been passed from hand to hand. on hand, but it's like that, we've all seen knives that have a shape, if that cool design had a function, it was a map, what are the options for ways things could be pulled out, extracted, removed or fitted into a knife I mean I was imagining something like this falling would be a thing and I love the arrow so see that's where it is that's cool sorry jj wanted this to sound like this creepy haunted one. house scary winds metal streams creepy strange whistling sounds and by chance we found this structure that was made out of shipping containers so it was a very windy day and it was the craziest sound when we were inside all that metal and Creek and hitting it was like, oh this is the death star, this is exactly going to work for the death star, we're currently looking at a legacy set designed by norman reynolds, which is the throne room, it involved building everything pristine originally from the original plans. and then by destroying it we managed to get out of the archives some of these plans, original drawings of the construction of the original set and from this I was able to recreate this in 3D, so we created complete models of the original throne room, so this level of mercenary here we have I imagined it completely collapsed so you have this beautiful full view of the window that is completely destroyed this is the emperor's throne and it fell from the floor above onto this floor which is where Darth Vader and Luke fought For a moment when you're building destroyed sets, it's very hard for it not to look fake, like it was cut to a song, so Claire went over it with a forklift, I went over the panels to make it look better, yeah , let's try one please, and you can see it in everyone's faces when they walk on that stage on the throne they are like: can I sit on it? and you're like no you're not light what was never in the original movies is a secret vault room accessed through his throne room so we've limited ourselves a bit it was actually always there , you just didn't notice it, the idea that she is so incredibly powerful with the strength that you know so quickly to us, we always felt like there was a connection between her and something that helps explain some of these things, obviously you know she needs to feel that she's really contemplating it and the need for revenge overwhelms everything else for a moment and then she remembers what it all means and what it is. in play since episode seven of the scene where rey is interrogated by wren, it is clear that they have a connection, that they understand each other, that they can literally read each other's minds, they are uncomfortable and yet they are both attracted . with each other, of course, episode 8 expanded on it by creating the idea of ​​forced connection and I think what we wanted to do was complicate that and say that actually their connection is deeper than that, we started talking about them as a mythical concept which is in joseph campbell, which is the mythical couple, they are two parts of the same hole and we finally started talking about how if the couple ever got together, their power would be immeasurable when we first read the script.

We offered JJ that we could do some wave effects and at first he came, yeah, good idea, and then we showed him some tests, wow, beautiful, that's amazing, that's great, that's 15 canvases, so I think the we would do there. We could let five in at exactly the same time, that's actually my favorite thing I've ever seen. It's like Oscar. Could you come to a meeting? But I'm not into that. No, I just want you to sit there. Incredible gift, we knew there was going to be a central fight and we wanted it to be a safer battle than the old saber battles.

We really started thinking about making it as operatic as possible and sort of narrowing the scene down to just them and the elements. around them so that the epic quality of this duel is matched by the setting girl, come on, the fight felt so fierce that it needed to be really full of rage and incomprehension and all that lightning needs to go on its own. individual trip that side of things doesn't involve finn doesn't involve leia doesn't involve po anyone else what became more challenging is that they were spraying us with water cannons and it was november in england the water would come i would be like i couldn't breathing cold water, it's freezing, that was good, it was really physically exhausting and you were wet and soaked and cold and on the wires, I loved it, you know, it's like how many times are you going to do it?

I had the chance to do that, I wanted to assassinate Dom in special effects because there were a few times where they said there were no water cannons and when I say mid-scene, literally a bunch of water in my head, I remember seeing the surface of the water just starting. come and I saw it was like in slow motion as it rained on Daisy and the true professional that she was continued, but I could see in her body that she tensed up because it was golden and as the water settled and they said the cut and she screamed very loudly that no I wanted to be on set at the time, but then people really thought I was really tough after that and JD said you get a lot of respect, so that was cool.

In fact, my birthday was one of those days. I don't know if that means anything. I wanted to kill her more because it was my birthday, but it was really exciting. You know, huge water cannons are firing. How many thousands of gallons are you out of? you're tired it's great it's just when you're hopeful that work is Kylo's journey really opened up my imagination as an actor, things had almost come full circle with him for the first time, someone had shown him what I think maybe what he perceived as a great act of generosity despite what he had done, someone who kind of reached out when no one else had for a long time and even in the scene to feel really comforted that Luke Skywalker was here, that's a good thing. , I hope that If there is any lasting legacy of the character it is the idea that you can achieve anything you want if you are selfless and willing to do the right thing for the greater good, you know he was a symbol of optimism and I think that's probably the The most satisfying aspect of the character is every boy or girl who longs for adventure who thinks that this can't be all there is.

When the resistance loses, Leia Poe finds herself inheriting a resistance that is on the verge of collapse. It is clear that Leia had been preparing it. for the lead but he doesn't even know if there's anything to drive right now that scene wasn't originally in the movie and I talked to JJ about it, well I think it would be cool to see a moment where Paul has with Leia even just a moment for him to say goodbye, that speaks to jj's ability to try things, i'm not ready nor are we, and so, in that moment of goodbye, lando appears and reminds him about family, friends and the no be. alone, we had each other, we were friends, it became this catalyst, you know, we still have a chance for something as big as Star Wars, which is a very, very complicated kind of movie, it really needs a lot of people to work. together to make it. we're here to make it happen you know the ending the last two reels of this movie the number of people that are involved in making those parts of the story work and make sense and feel insightful and believable and there are so many people involved that we're all in it together. this and it feels like a real team, kind of like Star Wars: you feel like you're working on something bigger than yourself, you want to respect what's coming before working towards that combination of legacy and new us. strive to have a great balance between those two things, the balance of strength is never something permanent and lasting, so the idea that this is a story of a character who needs to step forward and achieve balance in his own way If you ask me, I know in the middle of making seven where we would go with king I would say the headlines would be exactly the same since we needed our sith throne I had always been very fascinated by this wonderful sketch that Ralph Mcquarrie did it felt like a pointy shadow that Emerging from the end of a conversation between the Emperor and Vader, the big question was how to turn a black pencil drawing that measures an inch and a half wide into a silhouette on a throne that is its own because it was made in two dimensions. pencil sketch, if there was something else that came out here, even when you started to feel like it wasn't completely flat, most of this stuff is pretty confusing, it just feels right, you know, sometimes and sometimes it doesn't, so you just keep tinkering until they start to feel good, you know, it's even if there are some kind of parts doing that, maybe on the ground near him and up there, the throne, as we say, wraps around you so that it looks like it's grabbing hold of the hope The beginning of the film in which the city is articulated is that the diet would unite on the dark side, but conversely, the diet does unite and is as powerful as we expected, but they unite inthe side of light, one of the surp

rise

s and delights.

For me personally, it's watching Adam play Ben in this movie. The great tragedy is that we don't have it for long in the story, but when you know it, you feel the potential of meeting the person who could. I have been before someone who has an absence of hope and what we begin with for someone who has been there then is someone who has hope. There is no more ambiguity about what to do. There's no more swinging happening for him. The first time someone who has never had the answer now finally knows his purpose or destiny, he has to let him know that they are together, but I don't know if he is completely sure what will happen from there nor do I think he is.

Does he care, I think it's as long as he's with her, he's on the right path. Leia's Jedi trial occurs in episode nine. The end of her journey as a Jedi is fulfilled when her son returns to the light. We had this crazy idea to make a cavalry field. surface invasion of a star destroyer which is cool so our challenge is how to make a 300 foot star destroyer where we can have two armies fighting and a cavalry charge with horses. Wow, it's that awesome, it's crazy, no, but it's really It's crazy, I know, because we could do something interesting where we hold them down and make our characters slide and they like to land on a vertical thing that now It's more horizontal, at that point they're just standing on something and at a certain point we'll jump to a platform that must be the falcon.

The idea of ​​having humans and human-sized creatures invade a Star Destroyer was too fun an idea not to try, so we've been doing a lot of dynamic moves on this. beautiful beast here is that ballet on top of everything back here perfect yeah, that's it, you're just going to drop that left knee to the ground, yeah, and then you're going to grab the knee. I've never been shot on film before so we'll see how it goes, the most important thing is right after she gets shot she's screaming come on come on she's been trying to get her name in the movie yeah it's important , I'm trying to get a dog, he's trying to get the name how we're going to get it I always wanted this to happen I always wanted there to be some form of stormtrooper rebellion, which is something I was quite interested in since I was seven years old and I felt JJ was going towards it anyway just give me a second so it feels good to finally be here to be on the horses we've been training for for a long time I'm on the ground making sure I fly everything pose in the sky oh yesterday please here we go here go and act, all the wings cover that lander, look at those two on your tail, what really excited me in the seventh was the idea of ​​us putting fixed cameras in CG X-Wings because if you really had a X-Spring, what would you do well?

I would mount the camera possibly on a wing and you would fly recreating a practical way of photographing something, but inside the computer, the incoming loops flew well, good incoming loops and when I showed it to some of the guys who had worked on the original films they were excited about what we were doing, just keep doing the checks, what can we do against these things? They said they were actually trying to do that when they were doing four. It was so fun and nice to get back to it. looking for some sort of sailor suit like an admiral it all comes down to the orange jumpsuit again look at the size of that thing mister Dennis Lawson legend they didn't have a miniature that was big enough because obviously with miniatures you have a problem physical.

Because of the size of the camera, you have two black people leading the cavalry, something you don't see in every movie, so Naomi and I definitely have that in mind, this is an exciting moment for us between a black man and a black woman leader calvary of heroes yeah it's been a pleasure working with us we always have a good time always good conversation probably singing and dancing half the time you know, relaxing talking about chicken and chips the next second We're saving the world, they're definitely the underdogs, the little guys, and it's certainly a bit different than the Ewoks on Endor, but our new red-clad stormtroopers, this is the first time I've seen them, which is really cool, the idea that the people of The Scale human can undo a machine of impossible scale definitely feels like it was a theme of this series.

Each Exigo character truly faces his greatest challenge. It takes a lot of courage on Poe's part to rely on the most dizzying array of Star Destroyers and a lot of courage on Finn's part to get out of that troop transport and charge, you know, into the surface of a Star Destroyer, look at this, This is going to trip you up. I'm telling you, okay, here we go, I'm glad that as an actor I can come and see the environment, be in the environment and interact with it, it makes this very, very real, just running away from an explosion, just a little race.

With an explosion behind us, oh, it's almost like as soon as the explosion happens, yeah, yeah, yeah, all the way, all the way, you know what it is 'cause you got all the extras there that are really happening, they looks great. it looks cool once the crew disappears and the shot starts you feel like you're just there just do it john william proper star wars music so look i mean this whole thing is crazy yeah it's always fun to work with people you like as much as these people the day ends it's a bit like being in a family but in reality it's a bit like being a serious parent, ideally you love the people you're with and then your kids leave jj and I We were having a lot of problems with the ending of the movie at one point in the process and Rick Carter told us: I think it's because you two don't want Star Wars to end, you don't want the Skywalker Saga to end.

So no, you don't really want to write it and I think there was a lot of truth in that you're running, you're like Joey. I'm a little shocked that we're close. In closing, I feel very grateful and lucky to have come this far, that our team is so extraordinary, and to see what they have been able to achieve. It's sad to think about parting and saying goodbye. I had a day off from work. I came to visit my friend J.J. Abrams and now we have won a rebellion. The fact that we're coming to the end is definitely bittersweet.

Not being able to work with these people. Day after day, that will hurt, but I feel lucky to have done it. I've been able to get back to working on this again. I mean, every day I've been here has been a professional and personal gift of my life, to feel like I'm a real part of this long, beautiful lineage and part of the conclusion of that story. It's been amazing, completely satisfying and so profound that I had to do a scene with Kelly right now at the end of the movie, where it's like my life has fallen apart a little bit, but we're still here and it's still important that we're here even though we miss our loved ones and it's like a perfect scene because this was so magical I love Kelly so much and it was so oh my gosh that was so weird heal her friend I literally thought I love Kelly said which one is the best moment I've ever been in like it's this moment right now it really feels like the culmination of six years of my life it's just weird and then and then you stop and you see it and then when Finn sees we go to this and then You guys go, you know I was going through this thinking I could have done something different, but I know I pushed myself like I couldn't have worked harder.

I don't think I could have enjoyed it more either. The most moving thing is the collaboration within these studios and these sets and the crew, you make friends that become family and that's something for me that's a really important thing to let go because you know that this not only represents the story, but also the end of a kind of season in our lives, thank you so much for all your work, your patience, your focus, your dedication, your honesty and your camaraderie, I mean it all reads like you are this family, I can't. Thank you very much and it bothers my heart, so greetings.

The analogy for me is graduation. You know, it's like being in your senior year. You're glad it's over, but you savor every moment because you know it's your last. a really fun project to bring luke

skywalker

's house back to life here at pinewood studios jj really wanted to be faithful to the originals and have good call backs to the famous photo of luke leaning over and talking to his aunt and we want to try to bring it back that same call with Ray looking over his shoulder. It takes me a long time to get over things in general.

Fear in general. Oh, I really don't like it. Okay, Eunice came over and raised a point that That's how we met Ray on a sleigh. She'd obviously thought about it, but it's not really the cyclical thing of starting and ending a story in the same way. You know, it's really surprising to see this. It didn't have a blaster hole. The first time this was the first set I saw in Tunisia and now here we are at the end of it all and I have to say that a little bit is not a sad whistle, I guess we thought we would end with the star.

Wars are supposed to be exactly miniatures, tattoos, everything, yeah, look back and then go back to the fire, focus well, back, okay guys, continue again when you're ready, the giant track and the jaw is next to it and ciao, everything is summed up in those moments and it is part of this book that finishes what started so long ago. You want to make sure you finish the Skywalker Saga in a way that feels fitting, emotional, and rewarding. You know that the end of this saga has to be surprising, but also. It's inevitable that when you watch it again you think, of course, that's how it had to end, of course, that's where these characters had to go, of course, that's how we had to leave this galaxy.

It's incredibly surreal working on Star Wars. movie to work on a Star Wars movie where you're recreating the farm where Luke grew up and you know on Tatooine this is obviously as surreal as anything else, yes, but I also do a double take at the idea that Rey is there. He feels like you know, despite everything we've seen her go through and everything we've done, there's something about it that feels primal and inevitable and really charming. I think Star Wars, uniquely in its mythology, is about life cycles and teachers, mentors, parents. kids, it has that generational aspect, there is this idea of ​​handing down sabers and passing on a Jedi legacy, so we have that, I think as a generation that has inherited the character, beautiful god, come on, I think everyone recognized that.

They are giants on whose shoulders they stand and a story that informs who these characters are my young jedi I like these movies I like that I was there we all realized that it would take more of these movies to bring the story full circle to see no not just my character but all the characters that you've been introduced to from the beginning find their destiny it's exactly how it was supposed to be it just happens very quickly once they come in and get the shots and stuff and then it's over still later she's sad, yeah, It's a little clever, we knocked it down, that's what happens with movies I always like, so when the actors came in, we would measure their heights so they would stand by the door and we would put a little bit and then put your initials here it is daisy alden from solo so i don't know who gets this door now that we go here's donald glove looking for carrie fisher a pretty amazing door who doesn't love the fast chase it's part of star wars movies I immediately went back to the sliders instead from the jedi we did so many twists and turns we all tried to be magicians every trick in the book was used if you wanted to travel 100 miles an hour how would you do it? photographing it just to open up the conversation about what your slider might be.

This is supposed to be the same color as the one we used on seven, but on this monitor it doesn't look the same as what we had to create. with a kind of character to the sliders to begin with, these sliders are kind of, you know, pieces of garbage, they are really very abandoned, that blue is cool, the front is so yeah, really crazy, it sticks to my 70 To me, just for a second, let's go with that one, let's say it's B, for now, let's look at the others. I've wanted a fast bike since I was a kid and spent my entire life working on bikes, be careful what you ask for.

Luckily, I just have to make sure it looks good and the pieces don't fall off. Today we are building a movement base to call it the xy platform and we went to Pinewood and checked it out and saw what it was capable of. This motion base will drive the slider's motion, so we are trying to test it before shipping it to Jordan. I take that animation that Ilm gave us, put it on the tech deck and start evaluating if it's going to run on the rail and make any adjustments to make it slow enough for the machine to make it and then export that data to FX. .

We can guarantee that we will get the same movement when we get the real footage. and we add all ourlittle bits of CG in the background, we'll be able to put the speeders on a chassis and drive them. Basically, we are trying to test the vehicles in certain situations where they will use the exact same injury every day is a good day at the office and you can't really complain driving them. It's a lot of fun if we take it apart. No, let's not take it apart. Come on, we'll take this apart so much. That's fine and we'll leave it.

Bicycles have another test. They are snowmobiles converted to run in the opposite conditions than they are supposed to. We just need to test these vehicles as best we can because they have to be packed and I think four will be needed. With six weeks to get them to Jordan we did a little test of flying through a CGE environment and jj was thinking this is, you know, this is great, but how are we going to film this? I thought it would be a good idea to check out these Speeder Chase boards and any other Jordan questions you might have before Jordan's friends leave our apartment.

We are happy with the views. There we can find some interesting things in the background. You seem very happy with that too. Well it's a good run when we were there there was so much curvature and character so what for me is we picked a place where the dunes can do something cool it just needs to be 50 feet whatever. you guys call 50 feet before it let's do shots like this, we'll get a helicopter pilot for all of us, guys in a group together, off the radios, not just guide, steward, one guy, well, you know, guys, plural, both genders not sure what what do we do.

What we are doing is building one track, we are building two, in fact one will be a camera track and the other will be a vehicle track. We have a six-axis platform with six degrees of movement, so we have a rotation and up and a tint and this also goes from side to side it is a very powerful machine because it is hydraulic but since it is hydraulic it is not like an electrical system where It's very precise what you want to do because you run out of oil, you run because of the pressure, it can be quite difficult.

We've built a kind of green screen set here in the Jordanian desert, in one of the woddies, so we have five days of filming here, from Tuesday to Saturday, on the uh xy rig, for all the actors covering. this feeder chases daisy in the speed ray daisy hooking here it's right or nothing and so a couple days later I remember walking up to jj and saying hi jj so I realized you know we're doing a green screen and uh and he said to me, why? Why the hell are we in the desert? And I'm like, yeah, I know it seems crazy to be in this place and shoot against a green screen, why would you build a green screen in the desert and the reason we're here?

We are trying to make this as realistic as possible and it is really difficult to recreate a fabulous sunny day in Jordan. Correct lighting is the basis. I think about good visual effects. You can correct the color throughout the day. You can do all kinds of digital tricks in the book, but the reality is that if it's in front of you and it's there, you know what you're getting, it integrates better, and obviously the more you can photograph everything in the same environment, the better it looks. You will see in the end when you compete. all together, that's why they filmed it in that location, that kind of gimbal type thing that shook the ship in a pretty violent way, you know, Eunice, the stunt coordinator, said we'll tie you up and I'll go, no, no I will do that.

I didn't want to be tied down, Eunice is not to be messed with. She was tied up. It has been very hard work. She was in the most disgusting family because she had no idea how hard it would be, but now everything is fixed and it's a little cooler. and we all feel great, we lose them it's like you see it and then you look back and then it gives a much more real gravity to the scene. I understand it better. I feel like I'm really in the environment. I'm wearing the costumes, a lot of explosion stunts, this is like the Star Wars version of the ultimate car chase.

Jj, your brain runs at 200 miles an hour, so you have to keep up, so I'm literally sitting there, okay, yeah, yeah, and then. a close up and then she looks back and then we stop here and he's like 10 shots ahead of me. I drew this myself while I was waiting for you, I always love making discoveries, planning things as much as we can and of course you guys. storyboard and shot list, but the truth is that when you're on set you discover things that you know you need and that you would never have known that he's driving well, he takes a turn and when he's around here, the thing hits and that's behind , you're looking back over your left shoulder, yeah, boom, no, I missed this and then it all comes back like this twice a second, yeah, I still see it, yeah, the shot is the woohoo, it's so normal, so interesting that we need.

Changing all the gears was really exciting for me, it was the most fun I've ever had, but it's a little bit challenging because they would have fans too, so all this sand gets in your eyes and, uh, I. I'd go home after a few days and just like tons of sand would come out of my hair, here comes the jet pack, shoot three, two, boom, our little man will be up here, sort of towards the edge, busier in their affairs. The shot is here, we don't know what he's looking at and then he just says that's where our vehicles are to, uh, discuss all the moves that the bad guys don't make.

The bad guys just like that, boom, right away, no one knew how. useful, they would be so there are so many variables, you know, we have work with helicopters here, drones, ground vehicles, ground cameras, it is ready to build and dress here, there are so many different factors, we are currently in the evaporator dust farm, they are elements inherited from the The visual effects of the original films have done studies on the computer to have the correct distance for the evaporators for the speed of each car so that you can see them well when the cars pass by Claire and her unit were kind enough to not only make the first and last mobile vaporizers they are all incredibly friendly mobiles leave your mark and then shoot the fun thing about the second unit is that you know we would go in first we can explore it in its original state we would do testing it is no longer a secret to most the team knows that I was a kid riding bmx on the docks towards the water and I learned to ride the bike, the bike that had no tires or brakes and I went down the hill because I needed speed and I used the fence to stop, my elbows, my face, my Broken knees, but I knew how to ride a bike, so part of the reason I was excited to come, JJ called me because most of the things we were doing there were stunts.

There were things I could play with and I felt like that was my special sauce. There is one bite that was actually very good. The first day, you know, there's a beat where we're on a flat terrain and the red and blue heroes were flying towards it. speed of light was just this incredible shot it was one of those feelings where we all stopped and thought oh this is star wars this is cool right they attack you faster than you think. Our team of specialists really pushed those sliders to the limit. great reference for us to see well what they would do in a situation like that and also to be able to capture some of those moments on camera and then digitally transform them into the floating sliders that we all know in this movie that the bad guys are on. of weird skidoo moto stuff, it's pretty good, mate, in off-road places, the trick, I think, is always finding some new kind of interesting angle.

Niaz was the idea that these guys had jetpacks when we tried it in England we did it 50 times and then we came here and we did it another 10 15 times and then we did it twice in costumes and today we're doing it for real where the guys that were flying by the sky came out really well, Eunice and her team took a long time. and then luke and dom and those guys you know are doing explosions like spins, yeah, like a little more violent in a lot of stunt acts and your wire crews don't get the credit they deserve, and so do your artists because they're the ones who They rub the bruises the next day.

Oh, I made a joke about Star Wars and all that, and your wire guy is there, he's like the one who pushes to manipulate them and make them look cool and no one ever understands that. Also, the film industry is all about unsung heroes. There is a lot of work behind the

scenes

that people just don't appreciate. It's a great team effort for everyone. If you ask Dominic, he will always say it's a team effort. Vic every time I tell him something team effort choose everything we are like this post block the speeder chase every shot in this is a visual effect so we will be way ahead of the game if we can get this to film when you start to see the plates come back and you realize all the work was worth it, you know, the setup work, we got some really super dynamic close-ups and then they started giving us posts that put the backgrounds in and then we refined it and started putting sound in and music and it will actually come to life instead of Jj and I just sitting here and then he leaves and then he falls or there's an explosion.

I mean, there's so much more work to do, but it's amazing when you start. To see it work, the job I think we all have is to make it invisible, so the design and the construction and the stunts and obviously the special effects work are incredible and all the visual effects work if everyone does their thing. right job, including the actors, including me, no one thinks any of this happened, obviously there has been a history of using deserts in the Star Wars films to date and I think it's a lovely way to remember that history , so scene 54 is the reveal of the festival uh and then we find our friends, there's a CG falcon behind them, I mean, around the corner with our friends walking, come here and we reveal half a million akiyaki in a big festival there, jj really wanted to establish a world for Our character Ray got to really see for the first time a world full of laughter, life and celebration, so Jordan provided that sense of a planet worth saving, of a life that it was pleasant to live.

One of the things that first attracted us to Jordan was the sort of otherworldly quality of the landscape here, the rock formations set in vast expanses of desert give you enormous scale. Wadiram is magical, there is no competition for it, it still leaves us speechless, even when the locals come here, I have been coming to Ajiram. since i was a kid we've had birthday parties here riding camels sums up a lot of what i love about georgia it's a place like no other on earth we've had to bring everything with us we've had to basically build a little town in support of the filmmakers and It's been almost a civil engineering project for us, we've really had to bring in water, we've had to bring in plumbing, places for people to go and shower, all of our catering is just over 600.

UK crew here and a just over 200 Jordanian crew but on certain days we feed about 1500 people, every bottle, knife, fork, spoon to do the catering will be gone when we are done, we have 67 porter cabin offices here that were built and supplied. locally as well as over 100 shipping containers, 55 of which we brought from the UK with over 550 tonnes of equipment, we have nurses from the UK arriving, Jordanian doctors working with us and we were able to build prayer tents for With the local crew there we were able to carry out their daily practice, we also got the community involved, they were able to divert some of the normal tourist routes to have a nice filming perimeter and we had the most fantastic help from the Jordanian army.

They are very proud of their country. They are very proud of what they do here. They have a lot of big movies coming to this desert so they know exactly what they are doing. They have given us access to their ambulance service. fire service and lent us their logistical core to help us build roads. We have like 15 locations in total spread across all areas and the first thing we thought about was how are we going to keep people from getting lost in this wilderness when they need to access the location, so we came up with what is the ski route system that we call now so basically every road leading to the location is color coded so if you want to get to the Ship Rock location you look on the map and it's a blue road and we basically put blue posts all the way to the end and all the Corresponding signage is completely blue and also helps with the environment.

One of our key things is site management and stopping people from driving recklessly through the desert. because there are plants, there are animals and we have to be very respectful of the fact that we do not have any foreign material. We are building the path with all natural materials closely. It is well protected, asYou know, it's a Unesco heritage site. and then the military will stay with us as we remove the roads that we put in and just put them back to the state we're in essentially and all of that support has come directly from the Jordanian royal film commission, one of the unique things about filming in Jordan. is the role that film commissioner plays is like a one stop shop for filmmakers, his majesty the king has always supported and believed in this industry, we not only function as a film commissioner but also function in many ways as a second production office , they really took on what we needed from day one and we wouldn't have been able to do what we're doing here today without them, we're so proud to have Star Wars, we're all big fans. and having him here now is an incredible experience for us, it's an exciting period right now.

I think we're going to start having some longer days and sleepless nights, but it's a bit like being the advance group at the circus. to the city, I'm glad the main unit is almost here, we can finally start working properly. What do you mean in Jordan when you look around at the insanity of what has been done here to give us the ability to shoot three and four units at the same time? second unit aero unit visual effects unit it's been phenomenal, they've never had anything as big as us here and they've met that challenge completely, nothing is impossible, this is actually a freighter, it's kind of a visual effects reference, I'm Using this as a close-up model, place the camera some distance away from it and hopefully it will look like you are sitting on the rock, no flying in that old shipwreck.

Ochia Bassoon's ship is, of course, something Ray first saw in episode seven, although at the time we didn't realize it was Ochi from the student ship. I have seen that before the day my parents left, they were on that boat. Ochi was a Jedi Hunter who was loyal to the Emperor since the days of the Empire. an evil character who basically functions as the assassin who was going to hex with Ochi's student, why was Ochi going there to bring a girl that he was supposed to bring from Jakku to the emperor and so, in the course of the movie, Rey ends up aboard the same ship? where his parents were killed, we've been talking about how to make it feel like 30 years of abandonment.

I would do a pass where we lose the most imperial stuff and just put weapons and echo, the idea is that it's from the falcon era so it has a very very retro feel, but I deliberately wanted to make sure you never thought that you were in the Falklands. This is cool, so I was looking a lot at NASA's original Eagle lander. and i found this beautiful photo that had yellows and teals, strange colors of the kitchen of my house in 1975, from where my mom was cooking for the opening of the ramp, our heroes will enter, poe will sit in the front and while everything turns on the grates. will open and the light will flood the ship clearly we will be a very Star Wars ship but hopefully it will seem very new to everyone track two to one and that's why three two one action ochi's ship has not been turned on in 30 years the fountain because that it was a late 60's camaro beautiful reproduction that was great hello hello thank you looks like someone treated it badly okay now you're with us jason loved this idea of ​​a wheel and he loved the shape this pointy shape is simple simple the shape obviously it needs to have a color and that will be a lot, it's always about simple silhouettes, that's what works wonderfully in star wars, as much as bb-8, you can distill it into a hemisphere and a sphere, this droid can be distilled. to a triangle and a circle, wait, what to confess, try, um, the scene in his foam where bb-8 finds dio and returns him to functionality.

It was also quite challenging because it was just pure puppetry, we just had to get in there and it hits the mark and introduces this new character into Star Wars as a duckling. He clings to the first thing he sees. He is a very fun child and in constant movement. He's more of a kid than a bba. Hi thanks. We begin. Some do sound design for her voice that went through a dozen different iterations before it got to where it is now Hey, don't touch, that's my friend, I'm sorry, she's gone, yeah, she's gone, I don't know where I miss her, that's jj him.

He kept telling me what kind of voice he wanted, he kept telling me what kind of actor he wanted and different traits of what that droid was like and in the back of my head I was thinking it actually sounds like there was a scene that had to do with justi, we're at baby frick's workshop and for all we know c3po is gone oh boy it's horrible so i had to walk away and sit there but dio just left and jj was laughing so hard i thought we would never be. I'm going to get over it and then we'll come this way.

Do you notice me? One of the things that Jojo thought was funny is that I've clearly never greased anything because he said he was greaser, yeah, like this BB-8 has been there. for two movies we loved him and he just said I don't want Ray to be too warm to do it yet and it was so sweet to get him eliminated, thank you Theo, Ochiba Stewart left him stranded on this ship and Rey says. For him, essentially, you may have had a bad past, but now you're with friends and that's the feeling of the whole movie that Poe didn't have such a good past, Finn didn't have such a good past.

Ray didn't have such a good pass and neither did bb-8, but now that they are together they are friends and will take care of each other. Who are you and what do you want? I'm Warwick and I want a job, enough, it's a lot of fun, yes, it's a lot of fun, but there's a lot of waiting. You know, one of you three works together once again back in 1981, my grandmother heard a radio commercial that you were watching. for short people to be in the new styles movie, so he told my mom, who then called the studios and they said well, we have everyone we need, we had so many calls, mom then said I was a big fan of the movies. and I was only 11 and they started thinking that maybe we could have some kind of younger Ewoks.

I need a spear. All we have to do is follow that path. Oh, that doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. be fighting, you know what we just ran away from and that's it, yeah it's just a scene, oh that's easy, honestly I never thought I'd see the day where I'd get back on my feet and act as a wicket once? Again, I do this to entertain you. Putting this evil costume back together will be a major task for many people. It should feel the same to you. I think at this point he will definitely have to go to the next level. a little more off the top of my head, maybe some sphere auditions, yeah the sphere will start, that's good, I like that one, this is like a wise old man, yeah, it's like Gandalf, that's if you see if It has the shape and everything works or it doesn't. and seeing my son harrison there oh it's fantastic, it really makes you feel very proud and brings back a lot of memories of when I first got tested.

I was excited, but I also didn't really know what I was getting into. Harrison has something like that. a better understanding of what you're doing here and the kind of scale of the whole thing works happy our real ewok is happy with our new ebook we have a lot of time to sell it to the audience and very few subtle clues in The disguise, the appearance of that and also the set will allow us to do it very quickly. I guess we'll call him evil son. You know, I believe that he actually he is my son, but also within the Ewok tribe, in fact, he has produced an offspring.

He's older and wiser and he's got a little rogue to handle now, so you can imagine the scale of what you're seeing: a massive Star Destroyer plummeting today, we were blessed with two performances from two excellent actors, one is a veteran from Star Wars. and one is a new Star Wars veteran. I'm immensely proud of Harrison and what he's accomplished today because it's not easy in this, you know, it's hard to move, it's so hot, you can't see, you can't breathe and he did it. uh he did a great job, I can't tell you how wonderful he is, thank you both for doing it, so how was that pretty good?

Yes, I managed to make my way through episode one. In fact, I had to leave a lot of clues for George. all the time being bothering him basically uh, I used to send faxes back then, I said I heard you're making a new movie soon, just remember to write a short character for me and it was so blatant like I mentioned lucas. For example, we're using a lot of briefing documents right now, congratulations, you're liberated, but yeah, I never take it for granted because they don't have to ask me to do these things and they don't realize I'm doing it.

I can't believe how much pleasure I get from doing it playing a droid or an alien character or whatever, yeah I love it, I mean I can't, it makes me smile when I think about Star Wars, come on, well this character is very special. Me because it gave me the acting career that I have, you know, without having acted in Wicket, I don't think any of the things that would have happened to me in my life, in a way fulfilled a childhood dream of being in Star Wars and then Go ahead and meet my heroes in person, you know, in the form of Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and Princess Leia.

I mean, it was the most amazing thing in the world. Well, I like to put on the costume and that's when I have it. It feels good and it's nice to feel like you're in Star Wars and when you see it in the theater you'll say really yes, it's going to be good. All the work was not easy, but we couldn't. I have done it without you, it's okay, thank you very much, you worked very hard, yes, bye, see you, I will miss you. What George created with Star Wars was absolutely unique. It's not a science fiction movie.

It's not scientific fantasy. Its not this. It's not like Star Wars gives us a little more than p. Okay, Star Wars creatures definitely feel like a theme of the series. This amazing animatronics puppet is amazing. There is credibility in Star Wars, so when we approach a design we reference animals. and familiar things that help make that alien look like maybe you've seen it somewhere before. The head movement is incredible. There's a little more movement. Liam shakes his head. That's very good. Jim Henson, the man to whom I owe so much. the fact that he gave me my start in the film industry and always told him that acting was everything and for me when we create a character, whether it's a droid or a puppet or whether or not it's a character that takes 10 15 ring puppeteers for life that's the point at which you bring your skills and your art that's lovely you're all actors in your own way and you all have your own personalities this is good look I know hey you guys I know that's not it nothing tasty here it comes uh yeah together we work as a team and try to make it look as realistic as possible when you have your head on of course you can feel a little isolated it's really cool because I have Mike in my ear basically , guiding me and making sure I'm safe, so it's really nice to have him there.

You know, he keeps me company. It looks incredible. Guys who are in today. Hello, Tom, Tommy is here, wait, Tom. Sorry, I feel sorry for the guy inside that top piece, he's putting up with a lot of discomfort, a lot of heat and a lot of weight, it's a pretty heavy thing, so it takes a bit of muscle and it's pretty uncomfortable, but that's it. for the love of the movie, yes, it has a little camera here, yes, it has your pool, thanks, wait, liam, thanks, I'll give you a run, still, it's pretty sweet. The great thing about all of these characters is that they have such different types of personalities. talk about what kind of character these aliens are, if they are villains or good guys, or you don't trust him or if he is a pirate alien, we are a manufacturing process, ultimately everything we do has to go through a series of processes in order to be realized as a Star Wars character, each one becomes stranger and more wonderful creatures, yes this is Claude, it's a nice process to watch from start to finish, you get your artist involved and they bring it to life.

Neil loves a good show. -and-tell me, doesn't he do it? It's very exciting, very enthusiastic, come on Paul, a screen, okay, great, oh well, I love the creatures, in fact I treat them like they're real creatures, stare, yeah, that's what I love about Star . Wars is that you're dealing with a healthy use of practical effects, which is brilliant, so this is a good opportunity for us as actors to react from real things. Practical effects are what Star Wars was originally about, you know things like the grudge. and taunton and stop motion this time we are trying to do as much as we can practically en masse, for example, it is a character that we all know from the force awakens until this moment it was computer generated and with the animatronic version we had a person in a motion capture suit doing the upper body when she takes all my breath, if I move my head slightly it actually follows and we had a person in lip sync with the mouth alive and drooping which is a bit like manipulating a puppet like a sock, but it actually does. through two mechanical gloves you really probably want to take a photo of meI would love to it's extra money for football I love standing up mars let's put a brick wall behind her you know I'm here this is for you so many expressions that I got here, sometimes they need that specific expression that maybe ours are missing mechanics, then the CG comes in, which I totally agree with because, especially on this film, it's been an incredible collaboration where we help each other, we trust a lot of all the brilliant people.

At ILM I can say to Roger Guyat, who is the supervising visual effects puppeteer here with a stick, would you mind getting rid of it later and he said to me, "I'm not getting rid of it, so that relationship is very, very close, obviously, creatively." and economically that has ramifications: other native peoples we could have common naked horses and Roger could help us later. Well, that's 135. Hey, we have orbax, which are these horse-like creatures, and to create what these orbacks are, we actually used real ones. live horses, we took our horse team that worked with creature effects so we could dress them up, give them hair and extra costumes so that the velcro on the boot is on and then the belt on the suit sings on top of that, we all have to think about the horse temperature. make sure they don't overheat so this suit is specifically for benz he is morse's hero for naomi he is the most decorated because she is the leader we tried to make the mask originally but we couldn't make the mask because of the kind of practicality of the horse running and how much you could see, it was too difficult, it's too limiting, we couldn't, we couldn't do it practically, we would have to do some designs to get the actual geometry of the horse's head and say what our thing would look like.

The team here had to study what kind of features they had in their hair and also add all the details we would see in real-life animals, like twigs, mud, and blades of grass, to make them feel like live grieving animals, which better. I think over the years animators and effects soups were obsessed with animating ears. I think it turned out pretty well. They look like nervous ears. I guess the best thing about the orbex is the sound because we have no idea what sound it makes. something like no more backs are loud eaters what a sound to make um I think Star Wars invites you into a galactic world that you can be a part of.

I don't know of any other film genre that does it as successfully as Star Wars. Amazing welcome to Star Wars 9. Good morning everyone, we are starting our new star. Wars Adventure today when Kathy Kennedy called and said you were going to work on episode nine, literally one of the first things that crossed my mind was that I was going to work with John again, literally, that was one of the things I thought, oh god. mine, I can't not do it. Do this, so let's play the first piece now, then 1976, when I was 12 years old. This is very moving.

I don't like reading scripts, reading anything, we form our own vision of how things look. better watch a movie and be surp

rise

d by what is happening and remember those moments that are revealing I love you I know what you are going to say I love you too violin the process for me is that I have to go to the piano and start playing work I can't do it thinking about it or walking around the room or walking through the trees I have to go to the piano start writing something it's not very good to look at it the next day or a week later and try to do better I'll take it scene by scene I'll write a few bars and then I'll look at what I find I've done it on the screen and I'll rework it he writes and then he goes to the piano from time to time I make sure it's still in the same key and he comes back and writes more great composers, they all wrote that way, he still writes by hand, he doesn't compose on a computer, I mean, technology can change the image, but John's theme is the same brilliance that it was for the first one.

It's hard to believe it's been 40 years since we started. This is a unique opportunity in which a composer can continue working on the same body of works and continue adding to it which is a privilege to play any song from one of them. The challenges have been: if it's so new that it doesn't fit the body, can you play Ray's theme along with Leia's theme and have them be the same part of the family even though I'm 40 years older so far, everyone seems to want? live together I can try it in the orchestra so that it is in a more adult way for you to hear it, but it is not presented so simply Ray's changes are an integral part and in conjunction with the changes of Adam Driver character to something heroic, it could change the ren's theme, not the other way around, but to harmonize it again, which is actually jj's idea who told me, well, can you do the trip from wren to ben with the same theme?

It's exactly the same, but however you want. do it, but the idea that you know he's now trying his best to be the best he can give me instead of him trying harder to be as bad as he can. He's been doing it. Can you change the subject or turn it around or something? and I think I initially said well, no, I've never done that and how is it done, but it worked where your evil theme is brilliantly transformed into a kind of hero by a change of harmonic support and so on the empress theme which was a little reason that really means a kind of short theme the presentations of it in this movie are more numerous it always made me smile a little it's supposed to be very unpleasant that our heroes jump against the powerful old man this is so historical oh my god God says that I They were mistaken for Steven Spielberg in the game.

You have an idea and I said I left it at home. I said, "Any chance you recognize me." He said, "Oh, you're Steven Spielberg. How many scenes have we scored with this guy?" the smell picks him up when the empire strikes back romero bell guard the music editor said oh it should be exactly the music we had for yoda and in fact jj questioned it he said well we should do it right and everyone was like oh yeah It has to be like that, you know, all the fans will know that, so we went back to the Empire Strikes Back score to get those bars exactly out of them, that real little centerpiece of lifting the ship is exactly like the we had before it's an exception, the use of something literal from a previous film we're visiting specific themes, you know, I'm happy to do it, it's great to see these characters revisited here takes us to Can, it's nice and she's still with us anyway and part of it is just I think the last two words of the movie are so completely magical that we have to be 40 years in the making to get the full sense of what that means.

I felt so satisfied and so complete in a way. Who are you? I'm right, nine episodes. in a big story beautifully done over many years and that means it is not an ending that is here with us and we will stay there and it will make our lives part of that story. Ray Skywalker, the last day of recording films like this is always a bit emotional, there is a sense of satisfaction at reaching the end of this musical journey, but there is also a bit of sadness that we won't get back together next week to film more Star Wars music.

I would be very happy. for this to continue indefinitely i feel like we've been together for a long time i will really miss you i wish we had more to play with but i can't thank you enough for this opportunity to be with you bravo thank you for your art and for your obvious love of music, thank you yes you enjoyed this episode and frankly, even if you didn't forget, don't forget to subscribe and if you want to help spread the word, like this video and tell your friends to subscribe, check out the official Star Wars coffee merchandise and don't Don't forget to check out all the content playlists on this channel, including the rise of Skywalker the Mandalorian and much more.
