This week on The Star Wars Show!
Peter sits down with the Lucasfilm Story Group’s Rayne Roberts
Lucasfilm gets taken over by puppies!
And much, much more!
Now, from the Lucasfilm Headquarters its The Star Wars Show!
Hello I’m Peter Townley, hosting solo this week because Andi Gutierrez is on vacation!
Nope!
I’m here.AAAAAH!!!!
WHAT THE-?!
HOW ARE YOU DOING THIS?!
Internet magic.
I thought you were on vacation!
Star Wars never takes a vacation, so neither do I!
Let’s go to the news! This is freaking me out Andi. It’ll be fine.
I just-I can put my hand through you.Don’t do that.
I’m going to start doing the news now. Alright, yeah sure. Last night, a team of Star Wars
super fans decided to go rogue, revealing the new toy line for Rogue One via a series
of animated shorts.
The shorts, created by James de Julio, written by Kevin Ulrich and animated by Dan MacKenzie
and Tucker Barrie follow the adventures of Rogue One toys, as the Empire has misplaced
the building instructions for the LEGO Star Wars Death Star set, sparking a galaxy wide
search to recover them.The series which began today, will continue to roll out in September
on our YouTube channel.
And as a added bonus, we want you, the fans to participate.
Starting September 30th fans can create their own Go Rogue shorts and skits set in the Star
Wars galaxy, where the winning shorts will be invited to Lucasfilm headquarters in San
Francisco for a screening of Rogue One as well as seeing their video on the big screen.
For more details and rules, head to starwars.com/gorogue While we’re on the subject of Rogue One,
Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes will also be getting Rogue One content this this month.
Take for example, the Scarif Rebel Pathfinder, which will be available as daily login reward
beginning tomorrow.
All you have to do is login tomorrow September 1st, and every day through September 30th.
Additionally more Rogue One content will be coming to Galaxy of Heroes from now until
the films release in December, so stay tuned.
In other news- Andi breaks up.Huh, guess we lost Andi for
a second.
Guess I’ll do this one too.
We here at the Star Wars Show are going to reveal a brand new character from Rogue
One.
An Imperial astromech droid by the name of C2-B5.
Now as you may know, the galactic Empire relies on astromech droids to maintain its machinery,
but unlike the Rebel Alliance, Imperial technicians do not grant their droids independence and
subject them to frequent memory wipes to keep them subservient.
Where does C2-B5 fall into all of this?
You’ll have to find out this December when Rogue One is released.
This week also saw the release of the complete second season of Star Wars Rebels.
The disc also comes packed with bonuses like the blu-ray exclusive “From Apprentice to
Advisary: Vader vs. Ahsoka where Dave Filoni talks in-depth about the climactic season
finale.
Also included is Connecting the Galaxy, a look at all of hidden references and easter
eggs to Star Wars in the show.
Oh and also season two of Rebels Recon hosted by Andi.
I’m back!
What did I miss?Me doing the rest of the news.
Oh.
Huh.
Guess I’ll have to watch the episode to see what I missed.
Should I close?
Please! For more breaking news from around the galaxy be sure to check out Star Wars.com.This
is still freaking me out.We’ll be right back.
Hey guys we are out here at one of Lucasfilm’s newer but much loved employee events affectionally
known as Puppy Day.
Where local shelters bring dogs to come in and be a sort of therapy for people.
Get away from their desks for a while and hopefully find these dogs a forever home.
Karen can you tell me how this began?
My husband and I started Orphan Dog in 2004 because it was a problem that we could solve
that was in our own backyard.
The dogs get a lot out of this.
They get out for the day, they get to meet a ton of people, they have an excellent time.
We just found him but we’re never giving him back.
He likes grass and isn’t so good at walking.
He hasn’t competed his training yet.
No no no, he’s still a Padawan.
So if anyone watching this wants to adopt one of these dogs, how do they go about doing
that?
Go to Orphandog.org or simply orphan.dog we have an event every Saturday where we’re
out adopting dogs.
So as you can see, Puppy Day is the absolute best day here at Lucasfilm.
Its a hit with the people, its a hit with the dogs and they love the Star Wars toys.
Quite frankly i’m wasting my time here, theres puppies to pet.
Hi!
I’m Anthony Daniels, and you’re watching the Star Wars Show.
I’m here with Rayne Roberts, Creative Executive at Lucasfilm and member of the Lucasfilm Story
Group.
Thank you so much for coming back to the show!
Thanks for having me As a development executive, you are with a
film from the very beginning all the way to the very end.
For the Force Awakens, were there any surprises or things that were constantly changing over
the course of the whole film?
Or things that you always knew you wanted?
I remember the day we were here with Michael Erne and Carrie and everyone talking, spitballing
ideas and Michael and I guess had a moment where we asked, what if Luke isn’t in the
movie?
What if he’s the one everyone is looking for?
And he was like, oh my gosh oh my gosh yes that’s it!
Then we set up this thing like where we were at the end, everyone would get to Luke Skywalker
and we were like, yes!
That’s it!
JJ was in La so we went to pitch it to JJ.
And JJ loved it!
And it was one of those things that kind of stuck.
It was really cool that we all had that moment together.
Are there other things about the story of Star Wars that you find to be key to it?
That really make Star Wars what it is?
The notion that there is this invisible energy field or this Force surrounding us and penetrating
us that kind of influences everything and anything we do.
And there’s a very real thing about that notion that I think is really powerful.
And along with that, the notion that we can all tap into that.
That it’s not exclusive to anyone.
Like who am I?
What do I do with this?
And how do I relate to other people now?
And I feel like that’s also really relatable thing that happens in people’s lives.
Its not necessarily wielding the Force, but coming into something or coming into a time
in your life, or a purpose in your life and questioning what do I do with this?
Or how do I move forward or relate to everyone else.
And as you discover your talents, it changes the way other people look at you but the way
you look at yourself.
Exactly.
This is what its like in our story meetings essentially!
We go on and on about all these esoteric and existential things for hours.
The visual design of Star Wars too is something that’s really incredible.
You can take any frame, and its just so beautifully composed.
You know?
Its just really remarkable all the very deliberate thought that goes into the making of these
films.
Absolutely, and Rogue One too, is even going to do that as well.
It’s so exciting watching that process.
Gareth is really interested in storyboarding and concept boarding.
He had a great team of guys that he would work with to kind of figure out what some
idnivfual toucpoints would be in the film while we were shooting.
We had an amazing director of photography, Greig Fraser.
This film is so beautiful.
He shot on this really cool new camera RELX 65mm Digital Camera and the color palette
he used…I could go on and on.
Its amazing what ILM is doing on their end with John Knoll’s team and Nigel.
Just all of it is so beautiful.
Thanks so much for being the show Rayne I really appreciate it!
Thanks for having me, this was really fun!
A lot of fun.
Well that’s our show, this week, I don’t know if Andi is going to show up again?
Hey! AAAAH!
Stop doing that! It’s so funny!
Okay, here we go.
Last week we asked to see your #LEGOStarWarsShow creations and boy did you deliver.
We got custom LEGO BB-8’s, a custom speeder for Sabine, Portraits made of LEGO, a giant
10,000 brick millennium falcon, Darth Brick 26 on Instagram made a custom inside and outside
version of Starkiller base, whereas Lego Spencer 11 made a custom LEGO resistance base.
But, if we’re being honest, our favorite was the mouse droid that Blu Artem created
for obvious Cheeze related reasons.
So this week in honor of the new Rogue One Toys we want to see your most treasured Star
Wars toy.
It can be a beat up Chewbacca, a Luke with all the paint played off, as long as it’s
a well loved toy, we want to see it.
Send it using the hash tag #StarWarsToyStory and we’ll feature our favorites here next
week. And as always make sure to check out The Star Wars After Show presented by Verizon
where this week I’m hosting, instead of hologram Andi. Daaaw Watch it this Thursday
