Hi I’m Peter Townley And I’m Andi Gutierrez, welcome to the Star
Wars Show.
The only Star Wars Show coming to you straight from a deconstructed red carpet
Deconstructed, we are so thoroughly post-modern And so thoroughly tired.
Let’s go to the news.
If you religiously watch our channel, and if you’re watching this show I’d say you
probably saw our live stream of the red carpet And while on the other side of the screen
it might look like an effortless production is actually takes a ton of work and months
of preparation to create the 90 minutes of glitz and glamour you saw at StarWars.com.
So this week instead of a normal news segment, and lets face it, the biggest news this week
is the release of Rogue One, we decided we’d take you behind the scenes and see what it
takes to put together a Star Wars Red Carpet Live Stream.
Enjoy!
We are getting ready.
And eating fries.
So this is where the magic happens This is where the magic happens, what you’re
seeing right now is John Harper and I going over our schedule

Pilots, we got Rebels Where the Mercs at?

We are surrounded by Star Wars creative
Gareth Edwards in his helmet!
It’s always risky doing high fives because I’m British and I’m really awkward at
it The red carpet is open for business
Peter Mayhew, the mighty Chewbacca Mads Mikkelsen, Alan Tudyk, Felicity Jones
and Diego Luna Ben Mendelsohn
Donnie Yen Anthony Daniels, how are you?
You guys know Joss Whedon?
What’s different about this film?
I think we’re taking a risk. If we're going to keep Star Wars alive we have to keep pushing ourselves.
This is a really special film, it is very much a different film.
This is a much harder edge Star Wars It’s a brutal thing.
It’s sort of just blue collar guys and girls you know, average Joes and Janes that decide
they can make a difference.
everybody in this war is a person
It’s the kind of Star Wars movie I know for myself that I’ve always wanted.
I’m sure you will love it You guys are pretty sure your going to love
it, right?
Thank you to all of the fans out there that are keeping this alive
I wouldn’t wish to be anywhere else but here
We're moments away so I'm not gonna blow anything now.
Remember Rogue One: A Star Wars Story in theaters December 16!
We have got to get into this theater.
That's a wrap everybody!
Last week we had the unique pleasure of hanging
out with the cast of Rogue One on our set for an informal chat.
And some of our eagle-eyed views noticed that a few of the cast members had blasters sitting
on their laps.
There is a reason for that We had the prop masters from Pinewood ship
the actual hero weapons used in Rogue One to our humble little set so that the actors
could give us a run down of how they work and show us any other little features that
only they know from working so closely with them for months.
Check it out
The first thing you do when you get to do Star Wars is the props department lays out
all the different weapons.
And so what you learn is that George didn’t have loads of resources obviously back then
so they grabbed real existing guns from WWII and just augmented them a little bit.
Put little things on them and then onto a Stormtrooper.
This is the Shoretrooper’s weapon, I’d be careful because on set when you’re just
bored and hanging around with a gun there you always pick it up and can’t help but
do it.
And then it goes, boom!
Give me the rundown on how this bad boy works because it’s pretty insane
Well first, like this.
And then, this.
And this goes like this And then becomes a precision rifle
Oh this takes me back to Pinewood Oh the hours spent with this thing
So she’d have it on her belt and then she takes it off and the idea is…does that.
It’s got these little air rifle kicks in it so that it would go back and a lot of people
can’t help but like not do that, they get carried away.
You don’t early get the kick, so it’s to stop people from going “boom boom”
Whoa!
So let me show you how it works Yeah give me the demo
This is an old school blaster, it’s really a 3 shot
So you pull this back, and it engages and then you pull the trigger obviously
This has a good action to it, this cartridge will just fly out, you gotta get that out
and get your new one Which is 3 shots and then these pack a huge
wallop that is the thing with them Then you get em in there, flap it down and
re-engage it.
Like that, 3 shot, boom boom boom.
Did you ever get carried away?
There is one take where they come to me and say can you stop doing “pew, pew”
And I’m like, “Am I doing that?”
And they’re like, “yeah” I was just like a kid playing “pew pew”
I didn’t realize I was doing the sound.
Finally I’m re-united with my blaster, thanks guys!
Bye!
It’s good to have my blaster back, that was cool guys, that was cool, you guys stole
it from me!
We are exhausted and they are taking down the Rebel Base as we speak so we should probably
get out of here before someone asks where the plans are?
Awesome, but before we go it wouldn’t be a Star Wars Show without reminding you to
check out the Star Wars After Show presented by Verizon where my esteemed panel of Lucasfilm
employees dish about what went down on this week’s the Star Wars Show.
Which this week is all about what happened at the red carpet, check it out this Thursday
and every Thursday on Youtube.com/Verizon.
Thanks for watching and may the Force be with you
I don’t want to leave, lets just not.
Yeah let’s just start our own Rebel Base right here?
Yeah, I rebel.
I’m rebelling I’m in.
I’m in.
