We are once again in a secret undisclosed location
deep in the Earth's molten core with Madlyn.
This time, we are going to be looking
at some actual props and artifacts from "The Last Jedi."
- Let's start off with these.
- These are manacles.
This particular pair is used when Re is being
led into Snoke's throne room.
Anthony, would you like a demonstration
of how these go on?
- Oh, there's magnets in there.
- The pieces connect with magnets.
So a good application of practical objects
that can be very effective.
- Cool, let's take them off and move on to something else.
- What else do you have to show us?
- We have two versions of the very same prop.
This is Paige Tico's detonator.
This particular version is the hero version that she holds
in kind of close up shots.
The shots where your heart breaks because the detonator is
perched precariously at the edge, this
is the special effects version.
So the onset props team would be controlling it with a remote
in order to have it appear to be teetering.
- Yoda's cane, that is incredible.
I'll hold that one.
- Sure, go for it.
- This particular cane is made out of fiberglass.
This is a lightweight fiberglass.
We also have a heavier fiberglass version.
And we also have a foam rubber version.
When operating a puppet like Yoda,
there's only so much leverage and weight
that puppets can hold.
So if he's in a static shot, then you can use a heavier
one maybe with more detail if.
He's meant to be walking with his cane,
then you want something a bit lighter.
- Right here in the center of the table,
we have a very iconic light saber design.
This is Luke's lightsaber from "Return of the Jedi."
We see it in flashback.
I was very excited that they could
make sure to recreate and have this be the perfect lightsaber.
- Now I know you have to treat all these things very,
very carefully, because they are one of a kind,
and they're part of film history and stuff.
You ever do like a quick voom voom?
You ever do like a little voom?
- No.
- No?
Not once? - No.
- You're very responsible.
- I am.
In the front of the table, we have--
- Broom boy!
- Brrom boy's toys.
- Broom boy's toys, known as work equipment?
- It's a sad life when these are broom boy's toys.
Two out of three of those are forced work implements.
- This is significantly heavy.
- Well, that's the battle tank play set.
- So yeah, this would essentially be like,
one of the brushes they used on the [INAUDIBLE] or to clean.
- This is the hero Jedi scripture book.
This particular piece was built from a wood carving
that was then molded and cast.
They made around 40 versions of this particular book
before they settled on the few that they ended
up actually using in the film.
- How many pages actually have content on them?
- They all have content.
There is content on all the pages.
- This is all amazing.
Please remove these manacles from me.
I promise I won't touch anything.
- Can I get a pair of those to keep upstairs?
- Oh, hey. - For all the time?
- You know, just give me a call when you need them.
I'll come right up.
- We have Kazido--
Kazuda Xiono.
Dude, that's hard to say.
- Kazuda Xiono.
So that's how we're starting this one.
All right.
So Christopher Sean, you are Kazuda Xiono in "Resistance."
We would love to talk a little bit about your experience
making the show, because this is your first big voice acting
gig, and you're generally a screen actor.
How is this different for you?
- I mean, the cool thing as I get to like, work,
and collaborate, and have chemistry
with the other actors, because we're
all working in the same room.
But there are times when you're working by yourself,
and you're kind of like, all eyes on you.
Even the lights are on you, and you're, kind of like, oh man.
With Kaz, I get to be me how I am indoors at home
with my kids and my lady.
Like, I get to be that person in Kaz.
So it's like my get out of jail free card to be silly.
- Yeah.
I mean, let's talk a little bit about the process
of making this show.
How has it been getting involved in the Star Wars universe
in the community through this new show?
- To be a part of such a huge universe--
I mean, I grew up with Star Wars.
So it's a dream, and it's still surreal.
I mean, even now, we got picked up for season 2,
and I'm still trying to think like, is this real?
You know, when are they going to really
like wake me up from this.
- All right, so far in production of this show,
you know, you haven't had a lot of official interactions
with the community as Kaz.
You haven't had a celebration yet.
Are you looking forward to getting
involved in that sort of stuff?
Celebration is just around the corner.
- I mean, Celebration-- you know, you hear all about it.
And I've been the San Diego Comic Con,
and they say this is like comparable if not better.
And it's Star Wars, you know?
So it's like everyone cheering everyone on.
So I'm nervous, I'm excited.
I don't know what to expect.
I can't wait to meet every single person that enjoys
the show that doesn't so I can explain
why they should love this show.
I mean, for me, the biggest thing is this.
If you love the movies, we fill in the blanks to the movies,
and it's happening really soon. - Awesome.
It was a pleasure talking to you--
- Thanks, Anthony.
- Oh. - Andi.
No?
Thanks, Andi.
- Well played.
Well played.
- Watching the Star Wars show.
- Last week, we wanted to hear your memories of seeing
"The Phantom Menace," and boy howdy,
did y'all have some memories.
- Ruben Ramirez got fully made up to look like Maul
for the opening screening.
And Galaxie 1977 like the movie so much he brought Jar Jar
home with him as his roommate.
- We know that feel, Galaxie.
- Evan Bushkar shared that even though he
was 2 when it came out, his mom took him to see it nine times.
That's just subliminally Star Wars is now in your memory
forever.
Good work, mom.
Ethan Hall shared his Jar Jar swag,
and JoshuaMakeSmile shared a story that I think a lot of us
can relate to, saying, buying the soundtrack on CD,
and having two weeks before the premiere to convince myself
that the tracks entitled "Qui Gon's Noble End"
"Qui Gon's Funeral" couldn't possibly be about what
they seemed to be about.
- There were so many great memories,
we couldn't share them all here, so we highly suggest you
check out the hashtag for more.
- And as always, remember to like the video,
subscribe to the channel, follow us on Twitter,
Facebook, and Instagram.
And if you see us at Celebration, say hi.
We won't bite.
- Unless we're hungry.
- And we're usually hungry.
Thanks for watching, may the force be with you.
- Wi-- with--
David S-- David S. Goyer.
- Perfect.
One take.
- Put it all in there is what I say.
- Why don't we put one out that's completely unedited?
