- This week, we're taking a look at "Star Wars Jedi--
Fallen Order."
- Oh, and a little trailer debuted
that you might have seen.
- What trailer?
- You know, the one.
- This is the "The Star Wars Show."
From Lucasfilm headquarters in San Francisco,
here's your hosts Andi and Anthony.
- Hello, and welcome to "The Star Wars Show," the only Star
Wars show on the internet that would
like to formally take a moment of silence
for our comments section.
- Yes, for years, regardless of the video they were watching,
dedicated viewers would always ask one simple question.
- When is the trailer?
- Release the trailer!
- Only here for the trailer!
Well, now, with the final trailer for the Skywalker Saga
released, we hang our heads in silence and mourn
our favorite type of comment.
- And now, the news!
- On Monday night, fans who tuned in
to watch football, and me, were treated to the final trailer
for "Star Wars--
The Rise of Skywalker."
- The trailer had tons going on.
We're talking Rey training in the jungle--
- Wet, sad-boy Kylo facing off against Rey in the water--
- A floating glacier base--
- An armada of resistance ships, including
ships that may or may not be the Ghost and the Colossus--
- Ah!
Kylo and Rey are in the Emperor's
throne room one moment.
And then the next, they're destroying
Kylo's Darth Vader shrine.
- Ugh, Rey, looking up at an ominous cloaked figure.
- 3PO taking one last look at his friends.
- Space horses on top of what looks like a Star Destroyer.
That is a complicated ride.
- Emperor and Luke voiceover.
- Carrie saying "always."
- Oh, I clapped.
- It was very good.

- Finally, since we're talking about "Star Wars Jedi--
Fallen Order," I was actually able to play
the game for about three hours last week
and talk to some of the developers.
- And I got to go to work!
- Yup!
Here's a look at my preview of "Star Wars Jedi--
Fallen Order."
- I'm in Anaheim, California at a special "Star Wars Jedi--
Fallen Order" preview event.
And I am very excited.
Because I'm going to get some hands-on time with the game.
And I'm going to get to talk to the team to find out what
makes this game so special.
Let's jump in.
Stig, we've been talking about this thing for months.
And it was wonderful to sit down and really
see how it all came together.
It all comes together so well.
- That's great to hear.
That's great.
There's so much more, too.
- I loved the levels that I played through.
Everything looked like Star Wars.
But I did love that there is some of that traversal
and combat in there.
And it felt natural within the realm of Star Wars.
- At Respawn, we're gameplay first,
even though we've got the Star Wars narrative-driven aspect,
too.
So we start with wanting to make it
feel really good on the sticks.
We want traversal to feel engaging.
We want there to be a challenge in there, too,
while also being very accessible.
And then our planets are also kind of
designed around different gameplay themes.
So we try to make them each feel unique,
and feel very Star Wars, but having different gameplay
feeling for each level.
- And these planets locations need to make you feel
you're in a Star Wars place.
But half of our locations are also new locations.
So we're trying to introduce new places to the galaxy.
And they serve up gameplay goals.
They unlock progression throughout the game.
And there's story happening at the same time.
So each one kind of has its own theme
and focus as you go through the game.
- How did you kind of work in terms of gameplay and story
together to tell a story a time that we're
not so familiar with?
- We definitely wanted to make sure
that we gave you the experience of really becoming a Jedi.
Cal was a Padawan before Order 66.
So he wasn't a fully developed Jedi with all the powers.
You're actually in a post-Order 66 world,
learning those powers, and learning
how to become your true self, and reclaim
your identity of a Jedi that was sort
of lost to you in that time.
And we do that through gameplay in ways
that I can't quite spoil.
But they're quite tied together.
- Cal being distant from the Force,
and relearning his Force powers, and reconnecting to the Force
was really a perfect setup for us.
So he's been there a lot.
But that really narratively fit right through our gameplay
and our combat system.
- One of the things that I really enjoyed about "Jedi--
Fallen Order" as I was playing the demo is the combat.
It really has its own flavor.
It feels like Respawn.
It feels like Star Wars.
- It's all about making the game feel good.
When you press the button, it's got to be responsive, got
to be satisfying, and combine that with being a Jedi,
and using Force powers, and your lightsaber.
We knew that's something at the very beginning
we wanted to get right.
There's the skill tree which is more combat
focused, which is divided into survival,
lightsabers, Force powers.
But each one of those promotes a different playstyle.
And you could take an encounter in different ways,
which kind of ties into environment and exploration,
again.
- We'll throw curveballs at the player.
Maybe there's a new combat encounter.
Maybe there's a new route to take
because you have a new ability.
Maybe you can get through a way faster because you
unlocked shortcuts earlier.
So we really want to keep it fresh for the player.
So your second time on [INAUDIBLE]
might be a little different than the first time.
- Star Wars has this certain spirit,
it has this certain heart, and soul.
And I think we've discovered that somehow.
And I don't know the exact formula how we did it.
But I'm happy that we've arrived there,
and to hear it from people with fresh eyes.
- Hi, Second Sister, Anthony Carboni, serious journalist.
Don't look at me like that.
Oh, OK, I see.
I see.
The Empire, once again, fears a free press.
I'll get my answers.
- Oh, my god!
Ah!
- I'm so excited.
- Oh, my god.
Oh, my god.
- Love that Lucasfilm logo.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
- Oh, my god, she's training!
- It's an instinct.
- Whoa!
- A feeling.
The Force brought us together.
- Finn talking about the Force.
- Rey running again.
- Oh, love that.
- We're not alone.
- [SCREAMS]
- There's the Corvette.
- Oh!
- Oh, man.
- No one does.
- Oh, my god! Oh, my god!
Oh, my god!
- Kylo!
- Oh, my god, he's--
Dad, did you see that?
- Long have I waited.
And now, you're--
- Whoa!
- --coming together--
- Get them!
- --is you're undoing.
- Oh, that's cool.
- [INAUDIBLE]
- What are we doing there, 3PO?
- Taking one last look, sir--
- What?
- Ah!
- --at my friends.
- Oh, my god!
- The main theme!
- [INAUDIBLE]
- Oh, my freaking god!
- Oh, my gosh!
- --your destiny--
- I'm crying!
- Whoa!
Is that the Vader mask?
- Oh, what?
- [SCREAMING]
- The force will be with you.
- Always.
- Oh, my god, it's Leia!
- Luke and Leia.
- What?
[INAUDIBLE]
- Oh my god.
This movie is going to end me.
It is going to destroy me.
Oh, my god. - You're--
- Watching-- - "The--
- Star-- - Wars--
- Show." - That was a show and a half.
- I know, right?
It's almost as if we've been working on things for months,
holding onto all the content until the end of the year,
and then slowly releasing it into the wild.
- Consider the "Star Wars Show" fire hose of content
officially on.
- Official fire-hose graphic, go!
It's OK if we don't have one. It's fine.
We've been working on a lot of stuff.
Speaking of content, last week, we
wanted to see your spooky Star Wars costumes from the past.
And, wowser, there is some spooky vintage stuff out there.
- Dave McKew showed off his old-school Tuscan
raider costume, or gun mommy, as we
like to call them around here.
- [INAUDIBLE]
- Also, huge props to the Burger King trick or treat bag.
- Rachel showed off her sister's homemade ATST costume.
Michael Heicken showed off a trio of Ben Cooper costumes.
And Joey Rosalez showed off a couple of his homemade costumes
from his childhood.
Very well done, Joey.
- However the clear winner was Dave McKew, again
delivering not once, but twice this week
with Queen Amidala and a blue screen costume,
and a bonus George Lucas.
- Every George Lucas as a bonus George Lucas.
He could pop up anywhere.
Thank you to everybody who submitted this week.
- And as always, remember to like the video,
subscribe to the channel, follow us on Twitter,
Facebook, and Instagram.
- Thanks for watching.
And may the Force be with you.
I like a costume.
There has to be a picture of the character on the costume.
- Has to say it.
- That's a great costume, kid.
Well done.
- You should George Lucas for Halloween,
just spray it all white.
- You mean, just stop spraying it brown?
