00:00:30 ◼   ► just like I need to commit this to memory make Jonas memorize it they have [TS]

00:00:33 ◼   ► no idea what any of this stuff means it's so interesting confusing to me [TS]

00:00:37 ◼   ► especially that all the extra buttons the in-and-out it's like oh yeah there's [TS]

00:00:41 ◼   ► there too many especially if you only have one mic setup and you're not using [TS]

00:00:44 ◼   ► the input monitor and it's just going into your computer there's there's a lot [TS]

00:00:48 ◼   ► more than you actually need their yeah i think that as I get older I'm really [TS]

00:00:51 ◼   ► rocketing towards demanding next extreme simplicity and everything to use but [TS]

00:00:57 ◼   ► it's like the bike i do enough podcast where it's really is worth it for me to [TS]

00:01:00 ◼   ► sound as good as I possibly can and so i gave up on my beloved just plug it into [TS]

00:01:06 ◼   ► a USB microphone [TS]

00:01:07 ◼   ► yeah which I loved in theory but everybody agrees there since I switched [TS]

00:01:12 ◼   ► to this I sound better so yeah the the mixers mixers make everything sangre [TS]

00:01:16 ◼   ► although i did find a lightning USB mic that's not terrible that i've been using [TS]

00:01:19 ◼   ► recently on the road so that's my that's my good backup for now [TS]

00:01:23 ◼   ► so what do you write alright let's this is considered as part of the show so [TS]

00:01:27 ◼   ► like lightning [TS]

00:01:28 ◼   ► what would what does that mean you mean like podcasting from like an iPad um [TS]

00:01:34 ◼   ► yeah I broadcasting from an ipad is still a pain in the ass but being able [TS]

00:01:40 ◼   ► to record your audio on the go is really helpful [TS]

00:01:43 ◼   ► previous to that I had like a little tiny laughs Mike that you plug into the [TS]

00:01:47 ◼   ► headphones of your iPhone Jack and it was you know it was better than talking [TS]

00:01:51 ◼   ► on your iPhone but not by much [TS]

00:01:54 ◼   ► and I accidentally drowned my macbook air so my ipad is the only portable [TS]

00:01:59 ◼   ► computer i have right now which is kind of terrifying anyway which one did you [TS]

00:02:02 ◼   ► drown [TS]

00:02:03 ◼   ► i drowned my medicare no my poor 11-inch macbook air was sitting next to my [TS]

00:02:08 ◼   ► macbook pro are at my [TS]

00:02:09 ◼   ► my my ipad bro and yeah bad things happened I guess I do have a 15-inch [TS]

00:02:15 ◼   ► macbook pro that's like six years old at this point but i haven't booted on in [TS]

00:02:19 ◼   ► like two years [TS]

00:02:20 ◼   ► oh man so what you gonna do this is like a bad time to replace the macbook yeah [TS]

00:02:24 ◼   ► exactly so I'm like well I've got the ipad pro and i was making all this hey [TS]

00:02:28 ◼   ► about yeah I do most of my work on it which is true i do do a lot of like my [TS]

00:02:32 ◼   ► portable work on the ipad now but i was still like oh god now i have no safety [TS]

00:02:37 ◼   ► net [TS]

00:02:38 ◼   ► more on that later yes but looks like we'll talk about that later but yet but [TS]

00:02:41 ◼   ► I but I'm but podcasting like so I tried the usher for a while and that that [TS]

00:02:49 ◼   ► thing is a beautiful mike that is absolutely horrible because it requires [TS]

00:02:52 ◼   ► a very it requires a specific app and it just it will work if you just plug it [TS]

00:02:57 ◼   ► into the ipad you have to open like the sharrap or GarageBand and anything else [TS]

00:03:01 ◼   ► just like nope I don't recognize you as a microphone sorry you don't get to work [TS]

00:03:05 ◼   ► which is infuriating so I got what's it called [TS]

00:03:11 ◼   ► now I have to find it i picked up the the apogee not the not the apogee one [TS]

00:03:18 ◼   ► the one of its one of the little ones that's like 200 bucks from the apple [TS]

00:03:23 ◼   ► store on a whim and i love it it's so good it works for everything so I I this [TS]

00:03:31 ◼   ► is like one of those things where I don't know maybe I'm just an idiot but [TS]

00:03:34 ◼   ► it's whenever I read about people trying to podcast from an ipad I I get very [TS]

00:03:42 ◼   ► confused and so I get in some ways it i guess simpler than podcasting from a mac [TS]

00:03:47 ◼   ► and that you know all the multitasking involved in the different apps and [TS]

00:03:51 ◼   ► everything i have installed to do this in some ways is more complicated but [TS]

00:03:54 ◼   ► because the mac can do so many things at the same time and you don't have to [TS]

00:03:57 ◼   ► worry about which app is frontmost or whatever and you can run things you know [TS]

00:04:02 ◼   ► dirty little hacks like call recorder for skype to me it just makes sense it's [TS]

00:04:07 ◼   ► like just totally makes sense and when I in and supposedly I i still didn't go [TS]

00:04:11 ◼   ► back and watch the video but i heard that in the event last month when when [TS]

00:04:14 ◼   ► Phil shoulder said now you can podcast you know this is great for podcasters [TS]

00:04:18 ◼   ► that they they cut to me in the audience [TS]

00:04:20 ◼   ► oh yeah they can be cut to the whole section of just right [TS]

00:04:22 ◼   ► everybody being like what yeah right yeah I don't know if that app that if [TS]

00:04:27 ◼   ► the accessory really makes it easier for podcasters if you have it makes it [TS]

00:04:32 ◼   ► easier to run your powered microphones sure but it doesn't actually fix the [TS]

00:04:36 ◼   ► core podcasting problem on iOS which was what you were just talking about the [TS]

00:04:40 ◼   ► fact that like there is really no support for core audio and for [TS]

00:04:44 ◼   ► background app like multi multi threading audio throughout apps so like [TS]

00:04:49 ◼   ► if you're going to record you're gonna do a podcast on an iPad you're doing it [TS]

00:04:54 ◼   ► locally it's not a huge deal with especially with that power adapter [TS]

00:04:57 ◼   ► because then you can basically just plug your mixer into the power adapter if [TS]

00:05:00 ◼   ► it's a USB mixer and then you've got you've got mics up but if you're trying [TS]

00:05:05 ◼   ► to do a remote show like if we were trying to do this show right now on the [TS]

00:05:09 ◼   ► ipad right what I would have to do is I'd have to have my iPad open with [TS]

00:05:14 ◼   ► either with skype or with voice memos or whatever recording thing and then my [TS]

00:05:21 ◼   ► iphone whatever device I wasn't using to run skype ID have to plug my apogee Mike [TS]

00:05:28 ◼   ► into and run voice memos from there so it's basically like you have to use two [TS]

00:05:33 ◼   ► devices and of course your natural skype call is going to shout sound like shit [TS]

00:05:39 ◼   ► because you're not actually recording through the good or you're not actually [TS]

00:05:42 ◼   ► talking through the good mic right you got on a Mac you need two apps so like [TS]

00:05:46 ◼   ► for example we use I use almost all the ninety percent of the time i use skype [TS]

00:05:49 ◼   ► for the connection and then and then I use a app called call recorder which [TS]

00:05:54 ◼   ► sort of runs at extension within skype but you could use just about anything is [TS]

00:05:59 ◼   ► on any app that we can record audio you can I mean lots of people just use [TS]

00:06:02 ◼   ► quicktime you can just open a quicktime player app and say new audio recording [TS]

00:06:06 ◼   ► pick the same microphone is the input and so like what you hear you know like [TS]

00:06:10 ◼   ► I I it's a little inside baseball but for anybody out there like to me you [TS]

00:06:16 ◼   ► sounds good to me right now as I'm talking to you as you would if I were [TS]

00:06:20 ◼   ► just listening to the show after it's being done editing because I hear you [TS]

00:06:24 ◼   ► through the same microphone that you're recording whereas so it's two apps 12 [TS]

00:06:28 ◼   ► record one to do the connection and [TS]

00:06:31 ◼   ► but if you do haha XD have to use to device [TS]

00:06:34 ◼   ► yeah which is just ridiculously my feelings [TS]

00:06:37 ◼   ► Amy it's doable like I didn't last last fall when I was on vacation when the [TS]

00:06:43 ◼   ► ipad pro first came out I did a podcast with with my curly and Jason Snelling I [TS]

00:06:48 ◼   ► was a guest on upgrade and so I did that way because I literally i only had my [TS]

00:06:53 ◼   ► ipad my iphone and ipad Mike so there was no other way like I couldn't just be [TS]

00:06:57 ◼   ► like I want i'm gonna try and use a computer because there was no computer [TS]

00:07:00 ◼   ► available to me so it's doable if you're in that pinch but it's definitely not [TS]

00:07:05 ◼   ► what I would call a first-rate solution it's a podcasting is not what you go to [TS]

00:07:09 ◼   ► ios4 right so what is your Apple to your apple TV remote lost you're not lost him [TS]

00:07:22 ◼   ► it is not lost at the moment thank goodness it is it is sitting on my desk [TS]

00:07:27 ◼   ► right now next in in its to do need stand you [TS]

00:07:32 ◼   ► I think was it just today that this came out yes oh yeah yeah it's not the [TS]

00:07:36 ◼   ► headline is this is serenity article that I more it says wish list someday I [TS]

00:07:40 ◼   ► would like to stop losing my Syria remote yes I this came about because i [TS]

00:07:47 ◼   ► saw Susie oak suite of macworld story why I can't remember who wrote it i [TS]

00:07:54 ◼   ► think it was Jerry define who wrote a story basically being like I've stuck a [TS]

00:07:59 ◼   ► tile to the back of my cereal remote and now i can find it and simultaneously I'm [TS]

00:08:04 ◼   ► like that's really smart and oh god is this what we've really come to like is [TS]

00:08:09 ◼   ► is the only way that I'm going to be able to find my serial remote to be able [TS]

00:08:14 ◼   ► to stick at a device that's pretty much half the size of the sea remote to the [TS]

00:08:18 ◼   ► back of the Syrian remote and do it every year because the tiles only lasts [TS]

00:08:23 ◼   ► for months [TS]

00:08:25 ◼   ► yeah the tiles being the was it is a kickstarter project yeah yeah they're [TS]

00:08:30 ◼   ► little bluetooth trackers that connects to your iphone so that and then because [TS]

00:08:35 ◼   ► they're the bushes and then they have a tiny speaker embedded so it works [TS]

00:08:39 ◼   ► similarly to let to the find iphone button on the [TS]

00:08:42 ◼   ► the apple watch where you just you press the button and then your your wallet or [TS]

00:08:46 ◼   ► your keys or whatever ring i have tiles for my wallet my keys and they're very [TS]

00:08:49 ◼   ► useful but i don't i wouldn't put it on the the the woman was so thin it just [TS]

00:08:54 ◼   ► looks it looks like i'm just stuck a battery pack on my remote for what for [TS]

00:08:58 ◼   ► for the purposes of the teensiest little speaker in the world i love it's one of [TS]

00:09:03 ◼   ► my favorite apple watch features is the ability to pin your iphone I don't lose [TS]

00:09:07 ◼   ► my iphone very often or I don't misplace it or forget where it goes but when you [TS]

00:09:10 ◼   ► do it'll drive you crazy and beyond my gosh yeah and being able to ping it from [TS]

00:09:15 ◼   ► the watch is so much better it's so much more convenient than logging in to find [TS]

00:09:19 ◼   ► my iphone to play the sounds so much more convenient [TS]

00:09:21 ◼   ► yeah it's a great feature and it just sort of makes sense in the look it's all [TS]

00:09:27 ◼   ► in the same house or same you know if you assume it's all in the same house [TS]

00:09:30 ◼   ► and everything is already hooked up to the same network or whatever one of [TS]

00:09:34 ◼   ► these things should be able to find the other and they can both make noise and [TS]

00:09:37 ◼   ► they both are you know loosely connected at all times so it makes sense that [TS]

00:09:42 ◼   ► you'd be able to do that so I feel like there's got to be a solution like this [TS]

00:09:45 ◼   ► for the remote you should be able to like say like hey apple TV where's the [TS]

00:09:49 ◼   ► goddamn remote and then it will be the remote [TS]

00:09:52 ◼   ► seriously I mean I so I kind of I said this in my article but I kind of [TS]

00:09:56 ◼   ► understand why it wasn't a feature at launch because they I mean they were [TS]

00:10:00 ◼   ► rushing to get this thing out the door and the the remote app for the iphone [TS]

00:10:03 ◼   ► wasn't even ready so there was you know if the remote app for the iphone wasn't [TS]

00:10:07 ◼   ► gonna be ready there was physically no button for them to be able to press to [TS]

00:10:10 ◼   ► be like find iphone and because the because the series speaker the Syria [TS]

00:10:15 ◼   ► microphone is built into the remote not into the apple TV you can't just like [TS]

00:10:20 ◼   ► shout to the heavens like you might to an Amazon echo being like where's my [TS]

00:10:23 ◼   ► remote all that would be a cool feature apple just saying but what I'm kind of [TS]

00:10:28 ◼   ► hoping for is like the Syrian remote just connects to the apple TV via [TS]

00:10:33 ◼   ► bluetooth and theoretically Apple could design a next-generation remote without [TS]

00:10:38 ◼   ► having to make us buy an entirely new Apple TV like they could just sign it [TS]

00:10:44 ◼   ► and say this works with this Apple TV and then just insert tiny little speaker [TS]

00:10:47 ◼   ► that already works via bluetooth so it already has the connection inherent you [TS]

00:10:51 ◼   ► know to to send a ping to the remote to say yo [TS]

00:10:55 ◼   ► make a sound wherever you are I just don't I don't think there's a speaker in [TS]

00:10:58 ◼   ► the remote right now there's only am i don't think so either [TS]

00:11:01 ◼   ► is that it's never used for anything so it if there is it so hidden that I fix [TS]

00:11:05 ◼   ► it couldn't even find it but I'd and again I always file this under look I [TS]

00:11:10 ◼   ► know it's a lot easier for us on the outside to tell apple just put another [TS]

00:11:14 ◼   ► two-dollar component into this device in that device and it's very easy to say [TS]

00:11:19 ◼   ► you know did too quickly dissipate apple's press charges but i really do [TS]

00:11:24 ◼   ► think that for the price that apple charges for apples for the apple TV and [TS]

00:11:28 ◼   ► for the what the extra aren't the extra modes like 60 bucks together and what [TS]

00:11:32 ◼   ► this remote I think it's $79 yes oh look it's the $79 remote you can put I'm [TS]

00:11:38 ◼   ► sorry Tim could put it you can put a speaker in there that doesn't have to be [TS]

00:11:42 ◼   ► high fidelity just last week it just needs to be loud enough to be heard [TS]

00:11:46 ◼   ► through sofa cushions [TS]

00:11:48 ◼   ► oh yeah all i need is a is a nice high-pitched like submarine like beep [TS]

00:11:53 ◼   ► like it doesn't even have to be pleasant to the ears [TS]

00:11:56 ◼   ► I just need to be able to find it right and yeah and they could sell that's the [TS]

00:11:59 ◼   ► thing is like Apple tomorrow could come out with apple TV remote now a speaker [TS]

00:12:04 ◼   ► and theoretically you could just buy it and pair it to your apple TV like that's [TS]

00:12:08 ◼   ► what I want them to do [TS]

00:12:10 ◼   ► I'm like yes don't don't worry about releasing it with your next generation [TS]

00:12:13 ◼   ► apple tv2 take time to like a grade that hardware but just to put a speaker and [TS]

00:12:18 ◼   ► somehow an asymmetric button arrangement so that you can if you can figure out [TS]

00:12:23 ◼   ► which way is up [TS]

00:12:24 ◼   ► you know i do you have the remote strap because that's what I eventually and I [TS]

00:12:28 ◼   ► don't like the strap because it's always flapping around what i did i had to [TS]

00:12:32 ◼   ► compete the gaffer's tape and wrapped around the bottom OC with the texture [TS]

00:12:37 ◼   ► yeah and it goes on the side the texture because it's a piece of tape that wraps [TS]

00:12:41 ◼   ► around all the way around so I can feel it from the sides and it's a lot easier [TS]

00:12:46 ◼   ► yeah and it doesn't completely degrade the look of it because black Africa [TS]

00:12:50 ◼   ► chapel right ones and yeah I like that that's smart [TS]

00:12:53 ◼   ► um yeah but I still feel like it ridiculous that i've i've got to [TS]

00:12:58 ◼   ► jury-rig design solution to an eighty dollar remote control [TS]

00:13:02 ◼   ► well yeah exactly the worst part is i'm picking i just picked up my remote and [TS]

00:13:06 ◼   ► my remotes upside down right now this is the remote that doesn't have the strap [TS]

00:13:09 ◼   ► on it and with the like all of the icons are so minimalist that even holding it [TS]

00:13:15 ◼   ► upside down the only way that you know that you're holding it upside down is [TS]

00:13:19 ◼   ► that menu the only the only word on the other things upside-down and even when [TS]

00:13:24 ◼   ► you're first looking at it the you and menu kind of looks like an end and then [TS]

00:13:29 ◼   ► the end is still right side up so you read like two letters in before your [TS]

00:13:33 ◼   ► like before your brain registers oh this isn't word maybe I should flip this [TS]

00:13:37 ◼   ► around [TS]

00:13:38 ◼   ► I don't know it's painful i find that the the longer we go with this remote [TS]

00:13:42 ◼   ► the more I the more worrisome i consider it as an exhibit in the case against the [TS]

00:13:47 ◼   ► slight decline of overall design quality coming out of Apple these days you know [TS]

00:13:52 ◼   ► it's a long title for the lost but i do feel that it's a pretty good example [TS]

00:13:56 ◼   ► because it's great technology and I love music idea and i really love uh I it is [TS]

00:14:03 ◼   ► time goes on I really really like the the interface that as you use the [TS]

00:14:08 ◼   ► trackpad and that the way that the pic at the name of it and stunts uikit but [TS]

00:14:12 ◼   ► whatever they call it that yeah they're on the appletv right but the ways things [TS]

00:14:16 ◼   ► pop up as theirs to indicate what selected I find it so intuitive really [TS]

00:14:21 ◼   ► like it I like it so much as time goes on that the talk to it thing I know [TS]

00:14:26 ◼   ► other devices you know have this now too but like mice Jones is going through a [TS]

00:14:31 ◼   ► friend's bender he's obsessed he's 12 years old obsessed with the show friends [TS]

00:14:36 ◼   ► on netflix and it's so awesome because he's got it time now he knows exactly [TS]

00:14:41 ◼   ► when the theme song kicks in [TS]

00:14:42 ◼   ► exactly how many seconds to jump and so you can send 45-6 skip ahead 30 it's 35 [TS]

00:14:48 ◼   ► seconds he's got like a and there's like a certain point in the song like to make [TS]

00:14:52 ◼   ► a line or two in where he does it and it in it finishes exactly with like that [TS]

00:14:57 ◼   ► the final strum of the theme song my drive and he's always like he likes to [TS]

00:15:02 ◼   ► nail it so that he doesn't miss a single thing the great feature 35 seconds [TS]

00:15:07 ◼   ► so in other words at 30 seconds get wouldn't be quite right you get five [TS]

00:15:11 ◼   ► extra seconds of the song [TS]

00:15:13 ◼   ► you wouldn't want but i still think that the there's so many little details of it [TS]

00:15:20 ◼   ► that the getting those details right are the hell is the whole reason Apple is [TS]

00:15:23 ◼   ► apple and then yeah that they didn't with this is to me a little alarming [TS]

00:15:28 ◼   ► it's such a small thing to complain about the Serie remote that comes with [TS]

00:15:31 ◼   ► apple TV but it's exactly the sort of little thing that to me that that there [TS]

00:15:36 ◼   ► should be famous for getting right yeah well it's the small stuff and I mean [TS]

00:15:40 ◼   ► there's been plenty of talk about how despite the fact that this you know box [TS]

00:15:44 ◼   ► has been in development for four years how rush this version was on the door [TS]

00:15:49 ◼   ► and I can't help but feel that the remote was a partial casualty of that [TS]

00:15:53 ◼   ► because i see like i see where they wanted it to go and I see how it's a [TS]

00:15:59 ◼   ► natural evolution of the apple TV room [TS]

00:16:02 ◼   ► the remote from the third generation Apple TV but also looking at like [TS]

00:16:06 ◼   ► looking at the apple TV and looking what it what how we work with it and how it [TS]

00:16:11 ◼   ► also puts us also supposed to be a game controller i I'm just like Apple you [TS]

00:16:16 ◼   ► didn't need to make it be a stick like it it doesn't have to look like the 3rd [TS]

00:16:20 ◼   ► generation Apple TV [TS]

00:16:22 ◼   ► it would have been okay if it was leave like a little bit fatter or a little bit [TS]

00:16:25 ◼   ► wider or even a different shape right because it's just you know what I'd I [TS]

00:16:30 ◼   ► don't need a remote that looks like a nano I need a remote that works and it's [TS]

00:16:35 ◼   ► optional practically speaking there there's a cut you no definite conflict [TS]

00:16:38 ◼   ► between the perceived aesthetic about advantage of being symmetric and the [TS]

00:16:45 ◼   ► complete Haley undeniable usability advantage of being a symmetric whether [TS]

00:59:15 ◼   ► laptop configuration with the with a any keyboard internet one of my complaints [TS]

00:59:21 ◼   ► with the ipad pro 12 inch and 12 . 9-inch back in September was that using [TS]

00:59:35 ◼   ► yeah we skipped like two paragraphs every time you practice [TS]

00:59:38 ◼   ► yeah so like and scrolling too much is way worse than scrolling too little [TS]

00:59:42 ◼   ► because at least if it's growing too little you could you just have to hit [TS]

00:59:45 ◼   ► space too many times whereas if it rolls more than a screen you've actually [TS]

00:59:48 ◼   ► missed text and it it defeats the purpose Apple commendably has actually [TS]

00:59:53 ◼   ► done a lot of work and one of my biggest things that I would sing the praises of [TS]

00:59:57 ◼   ► using the ipad pro and I dis applies to both [TS]

00:59:57 ◼   ► using the ipad pro and I dis applies to both [TS]

01:00:00 ◼   ► Pat pros at this point but it's because it's an iOS 9.3 thing but the spacebar [TS]

01:00:13 ◼   ► like an iPad optimized thing you have space and it Scrolls by a sensible [TS]

01:00:17 ◼   ► amount [TS]

01:00:18 ◼   ► almost almost every time I can remember you know in the week weeks i've been [TS]

01:00:22 ◼   ► using this like a I can't remember a handful of cases where it didn't work [TS]

01:00:26 ◼   ► another thing they do that's great is and I think its new 99% sure it's know [TS]

01:00:30 ◼   ► is that when you're using mail the up-and-down arrows always go to the next [TS]

01:29:24 ◼   ► yeah it's I don't see what they have it that's a tough design problem though [TS]

01:29:27 ◼   ► because other than putting a second facetime camera in at the other spot [TS]

01:29:32 ◼   ► I don't know what else they could do yeah yeah it's I mean it's it's [TS]

01:29:38 ◼   ► definitely it's difficult if you're assuming that people are going to want [TS]

01:29:41 ◼   ► to use it in portrait and with the 97 I get that a little bit more because the [TS]

01:29:46 ◼   ► 97 is comfortable to use in portrait but the 12-9 is is so gargantuan in portrait [TS]

01:29:52 ◼   ► but it just feels wrong to use it that way [TS]

01:29:55 ◼   ► like it just doesn't it's not comfortable in any way shape or form and [TS]

01:30:00 ◼   ► you die [TS]

01:30:01 ◼   ► I don't know but yet but you're absolutely right it's like you put into [TS]

01:30:09 ◼   ► facetime camera and then make people who hold the 97 and portrait have an issue [TS]

01:30:15 ◼   ► it goes back it again it's another thing that goes back to the originality [TS]

01:30:18 ◼   ► well the original idea the original iPad had in prototypes had to 30 pin [TS]

01:30:23 ◼   ► connectors one that's right [TS]

01:31:18 ◼   ► yeah overall no I did it just feels more natural and yeah especially if you're [TS]

01:31:25 ◼   ► multitasking because multitasking portrait just doesn't make sense right [TS]

01:31:28 ◼   ► but it's just funny thing that they've that they've come back to but in the [TS]

01:51:01 ◼   ► feel like it had any kind of grand or as much there's one shot of the death star [TS]

01:51:06 ◼   ► that to me add some grandeur to it but for the most part it looked more like a [TS]

01:51:10 ◼   ► generic action sci-fi movie than a Star Wars movie and I felt like it was cut [TS]

01:51:15 ◼   ► way too quick like cut you know one second shot one second shot one second [TS]

01:51:22 ◼   ► shot [TS]

01:51:22 ◼   ► cut cut cut frenetic and then it's over phonetic is the right is the right verb [TS]

01:51:28 ◼   ► for this is that it does it does feel very much much more energetic than what [TS]

01:51:37 ◼   ► force awakens trailer or any of the original trailers is that the long [TS]

01:51:41 ◼   ► sweeping shot of tatooine right or the the the longshot of of you know ray and [TS]

01:51:47 ◼   ► her garb or I thought like in the force awakens trailer which I thought was a [TS]

01:51:51 ◼   ► great trailer I the one shot that to me made the trailer was the shot on jakku [TS]

01:51:57 ◼   ► it's a real long shot of a Star Destroyer artists were that's crashed in [TS]

01:52:09 ◼   ► computer for a long [TS]

01:52:10 ◼   ► I'm because it's a beautiful shot yeah beautiful shot but it also to me has [TS]

01:52:14 ◼   ► like this very star wars in this to it which is it there's clear it clearly a [TS]

01:52:22 ◼   ► lot of backstory that you don't know there's something you know because [TS]

01:52:25 ◼   ► obviously there's a massive star destroyer crashed on a desert planet is [TS]

01:53:15 ◼   ► that I've done with Star Wars rebels and let me put it in a live-action movie [TS]

01:53:19 ◼   ► like some of those marketplace scenes the scenes where uh where I think your [TS]

01:53:31 ◼   ► scene with Sabine from Star Wars rebels where and then the whole trailer kind of [TS]

01:53:36 ◼   ► feels like that where rebels rebels and clone wars before it to me aren't really [TS]

01:53:57 ◼   ► some stuff you know some backstory that's helpful to know but it's not [TS]

01:54:09 ◼   ► specific thing that's happening to these people who happen to exist in this [TS]
