00:06:16 ◼   ► am it's true i fell to the dark side i [TS]

00:06:19 ◼   ► think the the tricky thing you know part [TS]

00:06:23 ◼   ► of the reason for not watching this is [TS]

00:06:24 ◼   ► part of it is just not wanting to be [TS]

00:06:25 ◼   ► spoiled on the movie itself but there's [TS]

00:06:28 ◼   ► also sort of that larger meta picture of [TS]

00:06:30 ◼   ► now the idea that you might go in and [TS]

00:06:33 ◼   ► see a new star wars movie for the first [TS]

00:06:35 ◼   ► time and have it not suck its kind of [TS]

00:06:37 ◼   ► you know novel for the last [TS]

00:06:39 ◼   ► 30 odd years so I think you know there's [TS]

00:06:42 ◼   ► also a bit of that hesitancy like a half [TS]

00:06:44 ◼   ► i see anything else I might start [TS]

00:06:46 ◼   ► doubting whether or not you know may [TS]

00:06:48 ◼   ► prejudice myself so I'm gonna try my [TS]

00:06:52 ◼   ► darnedest to not find out anything and [TS]

00:06:55 ◼   ► already I've I'm sure I've seen more [TS]

00:06:57 ◼   ► than i would like to though nothing like [TS]

00:06:59 ◼   ► you just and I don't think there's [TS]

00:07:00 ◼   ► anything that we like particularly [TS]

00:07:01 ◼   ► compromise it's just that every [TS]

00:07:03 ◼   ► additional little seed gets you thinking [TS]

00:07:05 ◼   ► yeah and that's the for me that's always [TS]

00:07:07 ◼   ► the danger is you know being someone who [TS]

00:07:09 ◼   ► watches a lot of movies reads a lot of [TS]

00:07:10 ◼   ► books and sort of writes books works and [TS]

00:07:12 ◼   ► you know look at narrative structures [TS]

00:07:14 ◼   ► things like that [TS]

00:07:15 ◼   ► I I start feeling like a helmet can I [TS]

00:07:16 ◼   ► put these puzzle pieces together and go [TS]

00:07:18 ◼   ► away brain go away brain to go do [TS]

00:07:20 ◼   ► something about you take the settings in [TS]

00:07:22 ◼   ► the trailer right and you could try to [TS]

00:07:23 ◼   ► make an order out of them and that's [TS]

00:07:25 ◼   ► that moment where you're like I kind of [TS]

00:07:27 ◼   ► don't want to do that exact you want to [TS]

00:07:29 ◼   ► leave that alone you don't you don't [TS]

00:07:31 ◼   ► want to explore into that dark crevices [TS]

00:07:33 ◼   ► i mean i think the the majority the vast [TS]

00:07:36 ◼   ► majority of the trailer scenes i think [TS]

00:07:38 ◼   ► are more character building then they [TS]

00:07:40 ◼   ► are necessarily story building which I [TS]

00:07:42 ◼   ► really appreciate because I don't really [TS]

00:07:44 ◼   ► have an idea of how the Ark of the movie [TS]

00:07:46 ◼   ► is going to go i know that there's you [TS]

00:07:48 ◼   ► know planet a-and planet be because they [TS]

00:07:51 ◼   ► look different and God forbid star wars [TS]

00:07:53 ◼   ► as a planet that looks the same or that [TS]

00:07:55 ◼   ► doesn't look the same the entire planet [TS]

00:07:57 ◼   ► over it has different seasons so I know [TS]

00:08:00 ◼   ► they're probably multiple planets in the [TS]

00:08:01 ◼   ► movie but ultimately I think what [TS]

00:08:04 ◼   ► they've done with the what they've done [TS]

00:08:05 ◼   ► with the trailers very much is showcased [TS]

00:08:08 ◼   ► the characters that are going to be [TS]

00:08:10 ◼   ► involved in this and really humanize the [TS]

00:08:12 ◼   ► characters and I think above all else [TS]

00:08:15 ◼   ► like I could piece together i could try [TS]

00:08:17 ◼   ► and piece together stories and I could [TS]

00:08:19 ◼   ► put my own hopes and dreams for certain [TS]

00:08:21 ◼   ► characters prey on my in in my my brain [TS]

00:08:26 ◼   ► but i think that the biggest sort of [TS]

00:08:29 ◼   ► success that in my opinion that JayJay's [TS]

00:08:32 ◼   ► had with the with the trailers has been [TS]

00:08:35 ◼   ► like hey remember those those three [TS]

00:08:38 ◼   ► movies that sort of looked like Star [TS]

00:08:40 ◼   ► Wars but there was no characterization [TS]

00:08:43 ◼   ► at all and the characters were [TS]

00:08:44 ◼   ► essentially cardboard cutouts we're [TS]

00:08:46 ◼   ► going to give you like seven or eight [TS]

00:08:48 ◼   ► trailers including the International [TS]

00:08:49 ◼   ► spots and the and the television [TS]

00:08:53 ◼   ► colors that that show hey this movie is [TS]

00:08:56 ◼   ► essentially nothing but characters and [TS]

00:08:58 ◼   ► their good characters and they have [TS]

00:09:00 ◼   ► depth and personality and wisecracks [TS]

00:09:04 ◼   ► entertainment weekly to the story that [TS]

00:09:06 ◼   ► had something that I thought was [TS]

00:09:07 ◼   ► interesting which are i think is the [TS]

00:09:10 ◼   ► corporate explanation of what they're [TS]

00:09:12 ◼   ► doing which is I think it was JJ Abrams [TS]

00:09:15 ◼   ► said when we thought about what we [TS]

00:09:18 ◼   ► wanted to do that we want what we want [TS]

00:09:20 ◼   ► to do is go back to the original trilogy [TS]

00:09:22 ◼   ► and recapture how people felt about that [TS]

00:09:24 ◼   ► and I thought that was the kindest way [TS]

00:09:27 ◼   ► possible to say forget about them [TS]

00:09:29 ◼   ► student the the prequels son forget [TS]

00:09:32 ◼   ► about them [TS]

00:09:33 ◼   ► we're not going to deny that they exist [TS]

00:09:35 ◼   ► but our goal is to not do them but [TS]

00:09:37 ◼   ► that's basically what they were saying [TS]

00:09:38 ◼   ► and i think that i think that the a lot [TS]

00:09:40 ◼   ► of the sands labor materials like hey [TS]

00:09:42 ◼   ► remember the things you liked about Star [TS]

00:09:51 ◼   ► battlefront which is the rare in modern [TS]

00:09:55 ◼   ► day star wars game that absolutely [TS]

00:09:58 ◼   ► pretends the prequels do not exist [TS]

00:10:00 ◼   ► I mean basically after the prequels [TS]

00:10:04 ◼   ► to at least if not have right frequent [TS]

00:10:07 ◼   ► based game had to like include [TS]

00:10:08 ◼   ► characters or ships or settings or you [TS]

00:10:11 ◼   ► notes or just some acknowledgement of [TS]

00:10:14 ◼   ► those movies existing had defined things [TS]

00:10:41 ◼   ► know JJ Abrams talking about this maybe [TS]

00:10:42 ◼   ► sort of the corporate line but i think [TS]

00:10:44 ◼   ► what we are you know realizing from this [TS]

00:10:46 ◼   ► is that this is possibly the file [TS]

00:10:49 ◼   ► certainly the first time in 30 years but [TS]

00:10:51 ◼   ► maybe the first time ever that a Star [TS]

00:10:53 ◼   ► Wars movie has been made by a star wars [TS]

00:10:55 ◼   ► fan because I think we can all agree in [TS]

00:10:58 ◼   ► light of this recent conference George [TS]

00:10:59 ◼   ► Lucas isn't really a star wars fan right [TS]

00:11:01 ◼   ► i mean definitely didn't that's fine but [TS]

00:11:04 ◼   ► he's not not a fan in the way that the [TS]

00:11:05 ◼   ► people who can [TS]

00:11:06 ◼   ► assume that were a fan and so that's an [TS]

00:11:08 ◼   ► entirely different perspective because [TS]

00:11:10 ◼   ► that is the perspective that the most of [TS]

00:11:12 ◼   ► the rest of us are coming up you know [TS]

00:11:13 ◼   ► coming in with so I i think you know JJ [TS]

00:11:18 ◼   ► Abrams I'm sure probably felt the way [TS]

00:11:20 ◼   ► many of us did when the prequels came [TS]

00:11:22 ◼   ► out and is probably just as sort of hell [TS]

00:11:24 ◼   ► bent on not replicating that experience [TS]

00:11:27 ◼   ► so you know he's sort of in our corner i [TS]

00:11:29 ◼   ► guess you could say I think that's [TS]

00:25:50 ◼   ► Star Wars and yeah there were some [TS]

00:25:51 ◼   ► ancillary stuff but it was early and now [TS]

00:27:45 ◼   ► toys & and play and and no more about [TS]

00:27:48 ◼   ► Star Wars well and part of the other [TS]

00:27:50 ◼   ► sort of ingredient there is that tastes [TS]

00:27:52 ◼   ► have changed as well right I mean [TS]

00:27:53 ◼   ► because of what star wars didn't because [TS]

00:27:56 ◼   ► of all the other media that we've [TS]

00:27:57 ◼   ► experienced over the last you know 10 or [TS]

00:27:59 ◼   ► 20 years 30 years etc we all have [TS]

00:28:03 ◼   ► different expectations for movies now so [TS]

00:28:06 ◼   ► you know in some ways putting up the [TS]

00:28:08 ◼   ► star trek movies in the Marvel movies is [TS]

00:28:09 ◼   ► a good barometer because it is kind of [TS]

00:28:11 ◼   ► you know those are attempts to sort of [TS]

00:28:13 ◼   ► distill that like this is the experience [TS]

00:28:23 ◼   ► you know and in the appeals to everybody [TS]

00:28:25 ◼   ► and so the formula and and you know [TS]

00:28:29 ◼   ► ingredients of moviemaking have changed [TS]

00:28:32 ◼   ► in some ways compared to you know back [TS]

00:28:35 ◼   ► in 1977 where a nobody was making things [TS]

00:28:39 ◼   ► in quite that quite that packaged a [TS]

00:28:42 ◼   ► format that point and so moviemaking has [TS]

00:28:45 ◼   ► been home to this risky perfect engine [TS]

00:28:47 ◼   ► of commercialism and so I think you know [TS]

00:28:49 ◼   ► in some ways to [TS]

00:28:51 ◼   ► that means that everything sort of [TS]

00:28:53 ◼   ► levels out as we go because our [TS]

00:28:56 ◼   ► expectations lower and the movies you [TS]

00:28:58 ◼   ► know maybe get a little bit better but [TS]

00:29:00 ◼   ► everything sort of tends towards that [TS]
