- This is "The Star Wars Show."
From the 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 usually stretches
for time in the intro. - But now today.
We've got a lot of show to get to.
- News time.
[SWOOSH]
Hey, Hey, kid.
You want to see some exclusive, never before seen
footage from "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker?"
Then you might want to make plans for this Saturday
at 2:00 PM eastern.
- That's because director J.J. Abrams
will drop into Risky Reels in Fortnite to debut the clip.
- For more information about the Live From Risky Reels
event in Fortnite, check out this link.
- And speaking of "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,"
we're once again going to be broadcasting
live from the red carpet during the world premiere this Monday.
- The live stream will be broadcast exclusively
on StarWars.com, our YouTube channel, and on our Twitter
and Facebook pages.
- And you can be part of it too.
- We want to see quick, six to 10 second videos of you telling
us your thoughts on the following questions--
who would be your Droid companion
while exploring the galaxy?
Which cutie from "The Rise of Skywalker"
are you looking forward to meeting--
Klaud or Babu Frick?
- Which character are you most excited to see?
And which side calls to you, light side
or dark side-- and why?
- Simply submit a video per question
to us using the hashtag #SWSRedCarpet,
and you might see yourself on screen.
- You can experience it all live with us beginning at 5:30
PM Pacific time on December 16.

- Star Wars Families, presented by eBay, a joint effort
between the "British Journal of Photography" and Lucasfilm
has launched a brand new website and video.
- The video interviews the families
who are the subjects of the photos,
giving you a firsthand look at how "Star Wars" has affected
their lives in their own words.
- It's a really good video.
To watch it and to look at the photos,
head to StarWarsFamilies.com.
- Shifting gears now.
With the launch of Disney+, a lot of people
have been going back and re-watching
the original films recently.
- Which is why we thought it would be a fun idea
to see what the trench run would look
like if all the actors were replaced
by adorable tiny animals.
- Believe it, because we did it in the following segment
presented by our friends at Geico.

[LASERS FIRING]
[EXPLOSION]
[ENGINES ROARING]
- [BARK] Thanks, Wedge.
[ENGINES ROARING]
[MEOW]
- We're going in.
[BARK] We're going in full throttle.
[LASERS FIRING]
It's just like Beggar's [BARK] Canyon back home.
[LASERS FIRING]
R2, see if you [BARK] can't lock it down.
[BEEPING]
[ENGINES ROARING]
[LASERS FIRING] - I'm hit.
[SQUEAKING]
I can't stay with you.
Sorry.
[ENGINES ROARING]

[EXPLOSION]
[SCREECHING]

- You're all clear, kid.
[BARK]
[MISSILES FIRING]
[PANTING]
[EXPLOSION]
- Great shot, kid.
[BARK] That was one in a million.
- Remember, [PANTING] the Force will be with you, always.
[SCREECHING]
- Welcome, sir.
I'm Anthony.
Nice to meet you. - Great set.
- Wow, you've got all the proper materials and stuff.
Smells like set. - This is very impressive.
- Ryan and his guys over there built it.
- Well done, Ryan and guys.
- Joonas, welcome back, buddy.
- I've missed you.
- I've missed you too, man.
- I feel so chilled in this room.
- TLJ, you were always so nervous for everything.
And now you're, like-- - I was so nervous.
And now I'm like, whatever. - Such a pro.
[LAUGHTER]
- This base was supposed to be unfindable.
But here you are.
- Yeah, well, that's what you say about every base.
[LAUGHTER]
And what happens every time?
- I'd better fire our base hider.
- Was there any moment during your time
with "Star Wars" that stands out as, like,
the one memory that sums it all up,
that you'll remember forever?
- Hello, what have we here?
[LAUGHTER]
- OK.
My life has peaked.
That's my moment, when I'm like, that's
what everything was about.
- There seems to be a disturbance in the Force.
- Yeah, welcome back, baby.
We've done this so many times over the last couple of months.
- I know, and you're still getting--
- Are you exhausted?
- And you're getting it wrong every time.
- Yeah? - I just do not understand.
- What can I do better?
- More respect. More respect.
- Can't-- I can't--
- A chair that is lower than mine.
- Just jumping right in, going to write the final chapter
of the Skywalker saga, huh?
Just heading right in there.
- Straight to Final Jeopardy, yeah.
On this film, it was all about the characters
and all about the story, really.
It felt like we were just alone with the characters.
And that, for a lifelong fan--
it's your dream.
- One thing that I have loved so far about everything we've seen
is it looks like you all get to play together
so much more in this one.
- Isn't that true? - Yeah.
- Reading the script, the most exciting thing--
we're on a journey together.
And wherever it will take us remains to be seen.
We don't want to give anything away.
- No, you can give it away.
[LAUGHTER]
It starts with the Rebel base hider.
- Exactly. [LAUGHTER]
- I'm just going to jump right into it--
the internet's fascination with Poe and Finn's relationship.
How do you feel about it?
What's your angle on it?
I feel very happy and excited about it.
- Yeah.
- And I'm ready to take it to the next level.
- People don't understand how much
we just have a special friendship in real life.
We always knew that people are actually
going to dig this brotherhood that we've got.
And I think nine is the opportunity
to actually show way more.
- Well, we couldn't pass up a moment to immortalize
your friendship with Oscar.
So we made you--
- That is so sweet.
- --best friends in the galaxy t-shirt here.
- Oscar's going to love that.
- Hey!
That's really special, man. - Yeah.
- Frighteningly special.
- Yeah, that's how people describe us.
Frighteningly special.
- I'm going to add this to the stash.
- We talked to you a few times during this process
leading up to this movie.
You're the new kid on the block. - Mm-hmm.
- So I feel like you're the only person where it's really fair
to be like, how has your life changed since you've
stepped into "Star Wars?"
- I think maybe my friends and family
have more interest in me.
[LAUGHTER]
My live has changed in so many ways.
I'm going to so many different places
that I've never been to before and talking to so many people
that I otherwise wouldn't have, like, gotten to know.
Genuinely, I think I keep on saying it-- it's
the gift that keeps on giving.
- We don't know much about your character yet.
- Nor me.
- Can you tell us a little bit about him?
- He has no sense of humor.
He's evil incarnate.
He kills people.
- Mm-hmm.
- And he's just really bad.
- I love it.
[LAUGHS] So good.
Keri. - Yes.
- Something I've been wondering--
when you are in the costume, and you're in the helmet,
and somebody takes a picture of you,
do you smile under the helmet?
- You'll never know.
- That's what's amazing.
- Yeah.
- I could be doing anything I want.
- How often are you doing something
inappropriate under the helmet? - A lot of times.
- Yeah?
- Does it ever get normal seeing your face on everything?
- No. - No?
- It was quite exciting driving down Sunset Boulevard
and seeing a very big poster.
I thought my head couldn't look larger.
So that's exciting, to see it be really large.
- Have you ever given people gifts of your merch?
- No. - No?
- No.
As in, re-gifted if I don't want it.
But I wasn't like, here let me wrap up
a picture of my own face and gift it to you.
- We have heard from many, many people
that you beatbox very often on set.
Could we perhaps hear some of that?
- A, wildly unfair.
[LAUGHTER]
Borderline cruelty, I would say.
In truth, I don't really beatbox.
When you're given a microphone, if you hit the top of it,
it is a wonderful kick drum.
If you hit the side of it, it's born to be a snare.
If I had a microphone, I could sort of demonstrate.
But I don't have one. - OK.
- I'm sorry to say. - That's fair.
No, that's fair.
And I appreciate your candor, sir.
- Oh my god.
I can't believe you just asked me to do it.
- You're there. Grunberg's there.
Is there, like, a Speedman there or a Foley there?
Do we get, like, a "Felicity" thing going on again?
Just asking.
- Like I said, you don't know who's into those--
- I mean, everybody's in a helmet, right?
- --helmets. There are a lot of, like--
hey.
We're the-- we're the Stormtroopers.
Hey. - Hey.
- Hey.
- What is the thing that you are the most tired of answering?
- What is it like to be in "Star Wars?"
Well, it's interesting from time to time.
It's hard work from time to time.
It's fun.
It's difficult from time to time, et cetera, et cetera.
So please don't ask me that question.
- OK.
I'll tell you what, we can just wrap it up.
I don't think they like the way we're talking to each other.
- I know. I'm having you removed.
- And so they're getting-- I'm getting this.
- OK.
Ask me an approved thing.
- I don't-- I--
what was it like to be in "Star Wars?"
[LAUGHTER]
- All right, so I've got a couple of real hard hitting
questions-- - Great.
- --here for you.
So 1999 is a big year for Star Wars.
- Yes.
- Episode I came out.
- It was also a big year for you.
You were in the movie "Spice World."
- Yes. [LAUGHS]
- Which is also another favorite of ours.
- I love "Spice World" the movie.
- Now, "Spice World" and "Star Wars" have a lot in common.
We're going to list of some things that are in both movies.
And I want you to tell me which has the better.
- I love games, yes. - OK, cool.
Right off the bat-- strong female characters.
- I want to say "Star Wars" on that.
- I'm so sorry, "Spice Girls."
I'm going to have to say "Star Wars."
- Chase sequences.
- "Spice World."
- I think they had to run in heels.
I remember that.
- Oh, the jump over Tower Bridge, iconic.
"Spice World."
- Memorable music.
[LAUGHTER]
- I love John Williams.
But "Spice World."
- Oh.
No, I've got to go John Williams, "Star Wars."
- Spice Girls.
I grew up with Spice Girls.
They were my first album.
- Which has better strong female characters?
- "Spice World."
- More memorable music.
- "Spice World."
- Better Richard E. Grant performance.
- Pass.
[LAUGHTER]
[SWOOSH]
- Oh, we are back home.
It's Star Wars Galaxy's Edge.
- Oh, it feels so good to be back in Black Spire Outpost.
- Yes, it does.
We are at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida,
because the new attraction, Rise of the Resistance,
has just opened.
- Now, this doesn't open in Disneyland in Anaheim,
California until January 17.
- Right around the corner. - But we're here.
And it's open now.
- As long as we're here.
All I'm saying is that we're here.
- When in Batuu.
[HISSING]
[SHOUTING]
[LAUGHTER]
- Whoa!
- Resistance sympathizers, this ship
is now under First Order control.
Right this way to the detention cell.
- What?
[LAUGHTER]
Wow!
This is massive.
- It's huge.
It's huge.
Woo!
Oh, we're just standing here in a First Order hangar
with Greg Johnson from Walt Disney Imagineering.
- Greg, this is massive.
What's it like working on an attraction this incredible?
- It's an absolute dream come true.
I mean, we've been working on this for so many years now.
And to see it go from drawings and dirt into this building,
and creating this universe that people have seen in the films
for so long, and now you're stepping into it--
and I mean, look behind us, right.
There's real Stormtroopers right there
that are taking us prisoner.
- This is so cool.
- This is where D.J. Rex plays First Order bar mitzvahs.
- This is such an ambitious undertaking.
What were some of the unique challenges that you faced?
- It's the scale of it and getting
all the different parts and pieces to come together
to create these awesome spaces.
It takes such a massive team and so
much coordination between it.
We've just had hundreds and hundreds
of people working on this over the course
of the last several years.
And seeing it all come together now
and overcoming those challenges has been extremely rewarding.
- Oh, all right.
- This is a Star War.
[LAUGHTER]
[SHOUTING]
Was there something sort of new or interesting
that was created for this attraction
that you're particularly proud of?
I know there's a lot of new stuff in here.
- I think some of our audio animatronic figures.
We're always looking to raise the bar with those.
And I think we knew with some of our iconic "Star Wars"
characters in this attraction, we
had to make them real, and imposing,
and in our guests' face.
So I think that's one of the things
we're most proud of, is that they're
all over this attraction.
We have so many audio animatronics.
- You can't just hold us here, man.
- You chose the wrong side.
- What do you hope people leave this thing thinking, feeling?
When you want them to get out of it?
- I hope that they really, truly felt
like they got to live their "Star Wars" story,
their "Star Wars" adventure.
We know there's going to be a lot of people
that this is going to be their first interaction with "Star
Wars."
And we hope that this attraction, and this land,
and everything we've done can leave
that same wow impression on people that the first films did
decades ago.
And we hope it blends in as well as everything else has.
- Oh, trackless!
[LASERS FIRING]
Oh!
[SHOUTING]
[LAUGHTER]
- I've never experienced anything quite like that.
- It was unbelievable.
I think almost every ride system you
are used to is stacked on top of each other in this one.
- It's very good.
- One more time, yeah? Let's go.
- Yeah.
[BEEP] - You're
- Watching - The
- Star - Wars
- Show.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
- We're in Levi's Stadium.
We got Solomon Thomas and D.J. Jones with us from the 49ers.
Thanks so much for having us, guys.
- Of course. We appreciate your coming out.
- Well, we came down to play a little bit of "Star
Wars Jedi: Fallen Order."
Cause y'all have been playing it, right?
- We have been, yeah.
It's been a lot of talk in the locker room.
- So where are we going to be playing?
You guys have, like, a TV in the locker room or whatever?
- Well, we normally just play at home.
But today, they're letting us play on the big screen,
on the Jumbotron.
So this will be super fun. - All right.
Well, let's jump into it.
- Let's get it.
All right, one thing everyone needs to know about the game--
it's a very hard game. All right.
- It is. - Uh-oh.
- Where are you going?
- That was-- I-- - Wow.
Wow.
- I believe in you.
- OK.
- We're up against the Ninth Sister right now.
- Good.
- There you go. - Now you got it.
- Yes.
Yes, fine.
- No, don't! [LAUGHTER]
[SHOUTING]
I did not do well.
- You got to run into battle, you know.
[LAUGHTER]
- Whether you know you're going to win or lose.
- There you go. - All right.
- All right. - D.J.'s doing it.
D.J.'s doing-- never mind.
Never mind.
- Spoke too soon.
- Did y'all bring us here to actually win today?
Or-- [LAUGHTER]
- I'm really impressed with how good the game
looks on that screen, though. - Yeah.
- Oh, the graphics are insane.
- You see this tear falling out of my right eye?
[LAUGHTER]
Help me!
Help me, please.
[SHOUTING]
Help me, please.
- Oh, she was not letting up that time.
- Hey, I'm here for you, bro.
All right, here we go.
This is the one. - This is it.
- I can feel it. I can feel it.
We're strong with the Force. We got this.
- Yeah, you-- - You got it.
[LAUGHTER] - You're getting in rhythm.
- You got it. - There you go.
- You got it. - She's running from you now.
- There you go.
- Yeah, yeah.
- There you go.
- Woo!
- Nice block.
Nice block. Oh, you got her!
- Get her! Get her!
- You got her!
You got her!
- Last week, we asked you what your favorite memes
from "The Mandalorian" were.
And boy howdy, there were a lot.
- Yeah.
A couple of memes on the internet.
- I had noticed.
- Crazy Pencil Comics chimed in with a recreation
of the Real Housewives yelling at a cat meme with Mando
yelling at a Jawa.
- Tyler Ellis chimed in with a triptych of cute
vying for the championship.
Sarah Sue sent us a Mean Girls take on Beskar.
And Jedi Joshua gave a shout out to EveryLibrary's take
on the soup sipping child.
- Knowledge is power, y'all.
- 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.
