• 0:00
  Hello then it's time for most things Kenobi.
• 0:03
  Shouldn't it be all things Kenobi.
• 0:06
  Hmm. Hi everyone.
• 0:19
  Welcome to another episode of most things Kenobi.
• 0:21
  A podcast about Obi-Wan Kenobi in all things Star Wars.
• 0:24
  I'm your host Leanne and I'm your host Lauren in this week,
• 0:29
  although This week, it's your episode girl.
• 0:34
  This is a spiritual moment for all of us but most of all for me
• 0:38
  and I just re-watched, the scene we're about to talk about, we
• 0:41
  are dedicating this entire episode 21 scene from Rogue one.
• 0:49
  The one scene from Rogue one and that is the Vader hallway
• 0:53
  Massacre scene. Some of the greatest minutes in
• 0:58
  cinematic history proved me wrong.
• 1:05
  Seriously. It's so it's okay that scene is
• 1:09
  one of my top scenes ever in all of Star Wars.
• 1:14
  It is so effective and so much fun.
• 1:17
  Yes. And it's scary as hell.
• 1:19
  Yes it holds true to the character the as we know it and
• 1:25
  it evokes such Horrific fear. I remember seeing it for the
• 1:29
  first time in the theater opening night.
• 1:33
  With my friends who understand my love for Star Wars, but I
• 1:37
  don't think they realized until that night, like, how deep it
• 1:42
  was, you know, they're kind of newish friends but not, you
• 1:46
  know, not forever friends who get it right.
• 1:49
  Yeah. And when I started bawling the
• 1:52
  minute like the lightsaber ignites and illuminates, the
• 1:57
  figure the silhouette of Vader himself I started right?
• 2:01
  I felt the burning in my eyes and Then the absolute.
• 2:06
  I mean, I don't even know the proper word for how he just
• 2:10
  completely annihilates everyone in that hallway and traps them,
• 2:13
  Cuts them in half and those Rebel.
• 2:16
  The rebel crewmates are like frantic.
• 2:20
  They did such a good job and I just started bawling and that's
• 2:23
  when my friend looked over and was like I just are you, is this
• 2:28
  normal? And I will just give me a minute
• 2:32
  because we never Really had a Vader scene like that, not in no
• 2:37
  Cinema. I mean we know Vader's badass
• 2:39
  for all these like implied reasons, right?
• 2:42
  Right then we got to know Anakin more in the Clone Wars
• 2:45
  television show which built some depth, but this scene just like
• 2:50
  you said effective. Yeah, I would say the closest is
• 2:54
  his duel with Luke at Empire Strikes.
• 2:56
  Back like the second half of the Dual.
• 2:59
  Yeah. He's just swiping it about
• 3:01
  smashing the wall and it's like, You can tell his emotions are up
• 3:05
  as well. And that's when it's kind of
• 3:07
  like it's not even careful anymore.
• 3:09
  He is just like trying to cut Luke in half.
• 3:11
  He's just whipping that saber around and going for it, going
• 3:16
  for the full anger, the full anger moment and but he's off
• 3:20
  the chain in the hallway scene before we get too into it.
• 3:25
  I got to control myself on this episode because I will go too
• 3:30
  far in many ways, but he's controlled and just effective at
• 3:38
  just Just he knows that there's no threat here.
• 3:42
  No, there is it. He's almost gonna deal with this
• 3:45
  shit. It's almost like just another
• 3:47
  day for him. Hmm.
• 3:49
  And they all have blasters doesn't matter.
• 3:52
  That moment with the blasters where he rips them all out of
• 3:55
  their hands. Yes, that to me, I had been
• 3:58
  waiting like I just have always felt like why don't Jedi just
• 4:03
  disarm people? Yeah, you know like why don't
• 4:05
  they just yeah pull the weapons out of their hands or like,
• 4:08
  apparently, you can turn people. Lightsabers off like with the
• 4:11
  force. So why don't they just with that
• 4:13
  to each other? Be effective?
• 4:15
  It's not fun, it's not interesting but like you could.
• 4:20
  So when he does that he liked reaches, that just pulls all of
• 4:23
  the blasters away from everybody and they're just like, oh fuck.
• 4:27
  That was one of my favorite Parts because finally it takes a
• 4:33
  Sith Lord, right? Right.
• 4:36
  And he is in full Sith Lord mode.
• 4:40
  And interestingly enough, you mentioned how he pulls The
• 4:46
  Blasters all at once, right? And that's a move, straight on a
• 4:49
  strikes back. I mean, he pulls Hans Blaster
• 4:52
  right out of his hand and at the dinner table scene, if you will,
• 4:56
  and Gareth Edwards actually was quoted saying that they didn't
• 5:00
  recreate or give Vader anything new.
• 5:02
  Everything he does in that scene is stuff.
• 5:05
  We've seen him, do or like Lucas had said, He's done or it was
• 5:10
  implied somewhere, you know, stuff like that.
• 5:12
  They didn't reinvent the wheel. They just took a character who's
• 5:15
  known for what he did in that scene and and let him do it.
• 5:19
  Yeah. And it was all, so gratifying.
• 5:21
  Oh my God. I felt the fear that those Rebel
• 5:26
  especially the last crew. Yes.
• 5:29
  The crew member who was like pounding on the door.
• 5:31
  Let us out. Help us like.
• 5:34
  Yeah, that's the kind of fear you feel when Vader is anywhere
• 5:38
  near you. Honestly, like my blood pressure
• 5:40
  goes up, just even thinking about it because, no, it was
• 5:44
  taste /. It was like perfect pacing, it
• 5:47
  was perfect editing, and really good acting so, like, especially
• 5:51
  that last guy who gets the card and goes like stumbling into the
• 5:56
  room and get grabs the lever. And screams launch like by, then
• 6:01
  I'm my heart is pounding and I've seen it a hundred times and
• 6:05
  it still does it to me every time.
• 6:07
  And it's because it's so Well, edited, I have chills as you're
• 6:12
  talking about it, I'm not joking, the heat's on.
• 6:14
  And here, I'm wearing a long sleeve, it's chills from what
• 6:18
  you just said, the Frantic nature that they feel because
• 6:22
  really what they're doing is trying to get those damn Death
• 6:25
  Star plans to Leia and get them out of there because Vader wants
• 6:29
  them. That's it like that's what.
• 6:32
  Yeah catapults the entire original trilogy.
• 6:35
  So as a standalone movie you and I have said, Rogue one is the
• 6:41
  best. Yeah.
• 6:43
  Oh, my gosh, it's excellent. And it's not just for this
• 6:45
  scene. We love this scene enough to
• 6:48
  talk about it for 30 whole minutes, but it wouldn't, it was
• 6:54
  supported by such a well-made film anyway, Well, what you said
• 6:58
  about Gareth Edwards. That it was a no Maj, yes,
• 7:01
  right. It was like all the things that
• 7:03
  you love out of the original trilogy.
• 7:05
  He's just elevating it a bit with newer technology but so
• 7:09
  like it's cinematically a little bit more believable.
• 7:13
  I guess. I don't even know if you would
• 7:15
  say that. Like, there's better special
• 7:17
  effects will put it that way? Yeah.
• 7:18
  Because like, you know, an original Star Wars is, like,
• 7:21
  shake the camera and like throw water across, what'd she do
• 7:25
  with, that's a great to it. Kudos to those filmmakers,
• 7:29
  because they made that, you know?
• 7:31
  Yeah, I mean, what, what is it? Is it, like need is the root of
• 7:36
  invention or something like yeah.
• 7:38
  We're like, yes, you create things when there is no
• 7:44
  solution, you create the solution and that's what old old
• 7:47
  fashioned. Quote-unquote filmmaking was now
• 7:49
  we can just add stuff in digitally but back then you'd
• 7:52
  have to be so creative and I loved that.
• 7:55
  Gareth Edwards paid. That omage to the original
• 7:58
  trilogy and it really shows like the entire movie.
• 8:02
  Really just feels like an extension of the original Star
• 8:06
  Wars that we grew up loving. Well, it had to seamlessly
• 8:10
  literally seamlessly blend into the very beginning of a new hope
• 8:14
  which Vader and his Stormtroopers walk through the
• 8:19
  blown out door that the plans had just been rushed through,
• 8:24
  right? And Leia and the others escape.
• 8:27
  And Vader, you know, with the cape whooshing in the
• 8:31
  background, don't you? Love that lasts Beyond same own
• 8:35
  standing. Yeah.
• 8:36
  He has a fan the fan, the fan that Beyonce always has yes a
• 8:41
  wall of little Spotlight cell behind him.
• 8:43
  Like I do love it though because you know how pissed she is, you
• 8:49
  know, the deep-seated seething rage that he has that he somehow
• 8:54
  flawlessly mauled down all of these people and Still, they
• 8:58
  still got away, they want up to have and he's standing there
• 9:01
  watching that carrier, you know, fly away.
• 9:05
  Yeah. And he's just, you know,
• 9:07
  somewhere in there, and a case going, these goddamn
• 9:09
  motherfuckers are gonna pay. You know, well, I felt fear for
• 9:14
  the first time ever around Vader watching that, that scene was
• 9:18
  the first time I ever felt like, really afraid of him before he
• 9:22
  was like, fascinating, he's the like scary villain, but I was
• 9:26
  never like I didn't ever feel fear this scene changes, all
• 9:32
  that it like you said, it shows him in his ultimate, you know,
• 9:37
  scariest controlled rage where. Yeah, no regard.
• 9:42
  Oh your daddy, anybody in that hallway, zero regard that guy
• 9:46
  who gets like forced pushed up under the ceiling.
• 9:49
  And then he just cuts him in when I when I saw that for the
• 9:53
  first time. I was so happy I could have I've
• 9:57
  jumped up in that theater and just said, thank you because
• 10:01
  that is everything I've ever wanted to see from Vader.
• 10:06
  That ruthlessness that he cut someone in half while he held
• 10:13
  him on the ceiling. I mean, Well, then the like the
• 10:19
  way he like, kind of, like, hacks through the people, you'd
• 10:22
  never see that ever. And so what that's effective.
• 10:26
  This is effective, character directing whatever you want to
• 10:30
  call it because Vader can't lift his arms up because of that
• 10:33
  suit. Yeah, the the shoulder metal the
• 10:37
  you know, the shoulder placket thing, he wears and the fact
• 10:41
  that he has metal forearms, he's stuck to swinging kind of at his
• 10:46
  waist. Right?
• 10:47
  And so they kept him doing that. But they did it in such a way
• 10:52
  that it was, it made it even more.
• 10:53
  Ruthless, that he's literally just blowing down everyone in
• 10:57
  his path. It's so good.
• 11:01
  I'm lightheaded. I'm not breathing.
• 11:05
  As I talked about this, it is one of the finest pieces of
• 11:11
  film. I'll stop.
• 11:16
  I really like it. It's so good.
• 11:19
  It's so good. So Let's talk about the method
• 11:22
  in which they did it, because I am fascinated by how it.
• 11:26
  Well, first of all, for those who don't know, and I think most
• 11:29
  of you do this, scene wasn't even going to be included in
• 11:31
  Rogue one. I didn't know that, I didn't
• 11:35
  know. Oh my goodness, it wasn't even
• 11:37
  meant. And Gareth Edwards.
• 11:39
  Took a look at the edited film parts that they had and said,
• 11:42
  you know what Vader? Isn't badass enough.
• 11:46
  We got to do something, shoot something that really displays
• 11:50
  him at his Right? So, let's Vader in the film, The
• 11:54
  Original cut because I know that, I know this movie went
• 11:58
  through like iterations, because remember, there was, like, all
• 12:00
  this footage that was released in a trailer that then wasn't
• 12:03
  exactly. Yeah.
• 12:04
  And there's footage of Saw gerrera, having like, two
• 12:07
  different. Looks like totally different
• 12:09
  appearances that they re shot all his stuff.
• 12:12
  Yeah. For the better like all the
• 12:14
  changes. I think it came out as like, a
• 12:16
  beautiful finished product, but I always wondered if Vader was
• 12:19
  always intended to be in the Movie or yeah, definitely not
• 12:23
  this seen it. He just wanted something.
• 12:26
  That was scary. Like Vader, scary mission
• 12:30
  accomplished mission accomplished.
• 12:34
  He brought the idea to Kathleen Kennedy.
• 12:37
  She gave it the stamp of approval and they shot it in
• 12:39
  three days. Wow.
• 12:41
  And a lot of it was late manipulation because they had
• 12:45
  them all in a hallway, you know? And his entrance, his grand
• 12:50
  entrance. So good this bastard loves a
• 12:55
  good entrance, these Skywalker's their whole life revolves around
• 13:00
  impactful entrances, I don't care, Luke Vader, Leia, they all
• 13:05
  all of them. So they illuminate, the
• 13:08
  lightsaber and Gareth Edwards actually had an actual
• 13:11
  lightsaber light up. It wasn't bright enough.
• 13:14
  So he, you know, they kind of added to it and then smoked up
• 13:18
  behind Vader so that it would illuminate his silhouette Wet.
• 13:22
  And so that was like how they so they actually had a lightsaber
• 13:27
  on a toy makeshift. Hmm, where is that prop?
• 13:32
  Now, I want to know because I will buy it probably in a
• 13:37
  dumpster somewhere or here at headquarters basement, because
• 13:40
  that's what I would do with if I was the director.
• 13:41
  Yeah. Or the guy who was in the Vader
• 13:44
  suit gets to take it home. Exactly.
• 13:47
  And what he did was The way he went into the scene and this is
• 13:53
  Gareth Edwards saying, this is that he wanted visual
• 13:55
  Milestones. So he pieced together.
• 13:59
  All the things he wanted to see and then made them like Blended
• 14:03
  them together. So they use the old filming
• 14:05
  styles that are used in the original trilogy and used it
• 14:09
  with the scenes, like showing the rebels and then showing
• 14:13
  Vader. And then longer seems mixed with
• 14:15
  tight ones that, you know, make your heart race and, you know,
• 14:19
  and then boom. The end.
• 14:22
  It's so good. It's so intro, great.
• 14:25
  Shows such like even even though I guess you it wasn't plan.
• 14:30
  I was going to say, it shows for thought but like obviously it
• 14:33
  was kind of thrown in at the last minute, but it shows a
• 14:36
  really deep understanding of like First of all cinematography
• 14:43
  and cinematic like effective editing, God bless this crew of
• 14:47
  P hundred percent and not to Discount.
• 14:53
  Gareth Edwards editor I don't know how to pronounce his name
• 14:58
  job. A Jabez Jabez Olsen.
• 15:04
  Apologies, if I'm mispronouncing it.
• 15:06
  But when they were cutting, the film Olsen said, Vader needs to
• 15:09
  be more badass and Gareth Edwards said, same?
• 15:12
  Say no more. So it was, they were cutting it.
• 15:16
  Doing it and said, something's missing, we need more Vader.
• 15:19
  And Olson said he suggested that Vader.
• 15:22
  Just wasn't badass enough so it's not doing it like go on a
• 15:28
  negative tangent, but the editors are so important and
• 15:32
  they're Undervalued but I think mostly by I would say the
• 15:38
  consumer. Right?
• 15:40
  And a really good example to me is how the editing is in the TV
• 15:46
  shows like the Star Wars shows. Its you can tell they're like
• 15:52
  not Cinema level like full-blown filmmaking editors doing it and
• 16:00
  it's not like it's bad. But some of it is not great.
• 16:05
  It's a different level. It's a different.
• 16:07
  It is level of expectation, I think?
• 16:10
  Yeah, for sure and I'm sure budget has a lot to do with it.
• 16:12
  True. And the way stuff is filmed can
• 16:15
  make it difficult to edit it together, but there are certain
• 16:18
  like just there are certain movies and I would say, Empire
• 16:23
  Strikes Back and Rogue one are both beautifully edited and you
• 16:27
  know that because on a subconscious level you're having
• 16:31
  like Oil responses to what you're seeing on the screen like
• 16:37
  blood pressure Rising, for example are like you're always
• 16:40
  nervous every time you watch it even though you've seen it over
• 16:42
  and over and that's how you know.
• 16:44
  It's like really perfectly edited regarding the camera
• 16:48
  shots and how they edited it and how they decided to do it.
• 16:52
  Edwards wanted them all in a hallway because that's just fear
• 16:55
  inducing right there. I mean claustrophobia and the
• 16:58
  doors just close on either end they have nowhere to go, nowhere
• 17:01
  to go and it's the the door. Just barely wedges enough to get
• 17:05
  that card the disk the plans through and he says quote, we
• 17:13
  tried to do a mixture of the very classical very considered
• 17:16
  camera moves. You know, that you saw in the
• 17:18
  original trilogy and then sort of more frenetic, handheld.
• 17:21
  ELD sort of embedded Photography in the sequence.
• 17:25
  I really like the way it's sort of inner Cuts both Styles and I
• 17:28
  think that contrast is what keeps it energetic.
• 17:30
  And energetic is an understatement Gareth energetic,
• 17:35
  meaning blood pressure Rising, so good.
• 17:40
  I mean, we know that they get the plans to Leo, we know we've
• 17:46
  seen a new hope and every time I'm still like they going to get
• 17:49
  that card through the door. Hey, is it gonna happen?
• 17:53
  And of course, lest we forget that the entire movie ends with
• 17:59
  like they Leia standing there being yeah, digitally recreated
• 18:05
  with the help of a body double. But how beautiful, right.
• 18:09
  I also cried during that but I was already crying from the
• 18:12
  Vader scene. I was so happy.
• 18:15
  I was so overjoyed. It was I was weeping anyway.
• 18:20
  It was good. It was.
• 18:22
  It's like the things you as a Star Wars fan.
• 18:26
  It's those moments that are so like they're like a gift,
• 18:30
  they're fleeting and precious. Yes.
• 18:32
  Because as a fan, you love what you've you've got.
• 18:36
  Like, if you're an original trilogy fan, you have that love
• 18:39
  for that. If you're sequels fan of
• 18:41
  prequels fan, whatever you grew up with is very dear to Your
• 18:43
  Heart, Right? And so we all have our
• 18:46
  headcanons And our wishes of what we could someday see, you
• 18:50
  know. But maybe you'll get a piece of
• 18:51
  fan art that looks like what you've always wanted.
• 18:54
  I will go to see something happen like this.
• 18:57
  That's like in Canon fully cinematic full budget behind it,
• 19:03
  towed it just it's such a rewarding gift, is it is I feel
• 19:08
  so silly to feel so grateful for it.
• 19:10
  But well, I know what happened. We're talking about a murder
• 19:14
  scene and it's like, kind of it's, it's There's a do Duality
• 19:18
  here of like it's so great. We love watching it.
• 19:21
  It's the most amazing scene. Except everyone dies like it's
• 19:25
  awful, it's so off, but that's the beautiful juxtaposition.
• 19:30
  Like it's the Vader. We always wanted that.
• 19:33
  We got him. Yeah, but we never saw and they
• 19:36
  did it in like how many minutes a minute and 50 seconds.
• 19:39
  That's all how, you know, give or take.
• 19:42
  But that's how long the scene is.
• 19:43
  And that's all that's needed. That's how well does, yes.
• 19:47
  Yes, less is more. You don't have to overdo it,
• 19:49
  make it heavy handed, I think it was perfect.
• 19:51
  It was like What? He described.
• 19:53
  It's definitely that perfect balance and not everyone is able
• 19:58
  to achieve that. So it's like super kudos to him
• 20:02
  for, I like him. I think he's a great director so
• 20:06
  good and he's got a little cameo in, is it the last Jedi, he's in
• 20:12
  it? He's in one of those trenches.
• 20:14
  Yeah, we're he touches such as the The soil and licks it and he
• 20:18
  goes mmm, salty. Which everyone was saying is a
• 20:21
  comment about the audience because we're all very salty.
• 20:26
  I do not disagree. Yeah.
• 20:28
  Yeah. I'm salty.
• 20:32
  Salty. I think Edward should have
• 20:35
  Gareth Edwards. Should have been invited to do
• 20:38
  more? Because I think I do, I do
• 20:40
  tastic. Maybe was, we don't know, but
• 20:43
  Spirit, but it would be sweet if he did the and, or series.
• 20:47
  He that would, that would actually that makes the most
• 20:51
  sense, huh? Yeah, I guess.
• 20:55
  Gareth Edwards. He chose the final escape
• 20:58
  sequence to give himself a small cameo role.
• 21:02
  Really? I don't know which one he is.
• 21:04
  He says, quote, I wanted to have a cameo in the film because I
• 21:07
  love Star Wars so much, but I was saving it for the right
• 21:10
  thing. So he's in that scene somewhere,
• 21:13
  Lucky in the hallway with Vader is what it says.
• 21:18
  I have to re-watch it and see if I can recognize him.
• 21:22
  I mean it's his quote, so lucky bastard.
• 21:25
  You know, hey when you're the director, you can do whatever
• 21:27
  you want. I would totally put myself in
• 21:28
  that scene, I would want to be the one cut in half.
• 21:34
  I volunteer, listen, if I'm gonna get completely just mowed
• 21:38
  down by Vader. I want to be thrown to the
• 21:42
  ceiling held there by his force abilities and then just sliced
• 21:46
  in half, This is like how I want a viking funeral.
• 21:52
  This is house. I want a bitter hallway death
• 21:58
  lest we forget that I did the damn with my two very, very best
• 22:04
  friends. I did the the the virtual
• 22:09
  reality experience at down in Florida and Vader steps out
• 22:16
  towards you. I mean this is virtual reality.
• 22:18
  Ality. So he's literally coming towards
• 22:20
  you. And I'll I just dropped the prop
• 22:23
  gun that they get the Blaster that they gave us.
• 22:25
  And I said, take me, and I'm shouting this into a void of
• 22:28
  nothing and my two friends. I can hear them laughing next to
• 22:31
  me, even like through the sound and the blasting and all the
• 22:34
  like, and I'm just that would have been fine by me.
• 22:37
  So what a way to go way to go. Anyway, the purpose of all of
• 22:44
  this is to get the damn Death Star plans to Leia.
• 22:47
  But did you know, here I am coming at you with another fact.
• 22:52
  That they didn't really have a prop to go off of that thing
• 22:56
  that lay a sticks into R2D2. I guess there's no prop that
• 23:00
  remains from A New Hope and truth.
• 23:02
  So all they had to go off of was like the Blu-ray image that
• 23:05
  screenshot of her like zoomed in her hand giving it to R2-D2.
• 23:10
  And so, they were like, well it kind of looks like this.
• 23:13
  So let's try and fashion something close to it.
• 23:15
  And now they like, I would love to have that as a prop in my fan
• 23:19
  room. Oh yeah, those are Awesome.
• 23:21
  So cool. You know, it's funny because in
• 23:24
  the like the radio drama and even in the book because I'm
• 23:27
  actually reading the original book, they call them, the tapes,
• 23:32
  the tapes have been recorded and I was like, oh, that's cute 70s
• 23:37
  of them, right. So I can't, hey, I grew up with
• 23:45
  tape. I mean, it's technically.
• 23:48
  I mean, it looks like I mean not to age myself but it looks like
• 23:54
  a floppy disk drive. Yes it does floppy disk that you
• 23:58
  put into a disk drive. Oh I had I had those for one
• 24:03
  year in college. I had those and then everything
• 24:07
  changed and you could buy a one gigabyte, thumb drive.
• 24:12
  They called it right? For like, $100 per gig
• 24:16
  expensive. I know.
• 24:17
  Yeah, guys, nuts. Yeah, how much is it?
• 24:20
  The Death Star plans would run if it was, it was in today's
• 24:24
  currency. Well, depends.
• 24:26
  Are they a full terabyte or not? Because that's a good.
• 24:30
  That's a good question. Yeah, it's probably not that
• 24:34
  expensive. Depending on probably not, I
• 24:37
  made their just architectural plans, right?
• 24:41
  With a secret embedded in them. Yeah, but it's still like a
• 24:44
  picture. It's just a, it's just a damn.
• 24:52
  It's a PDF. That's all it is Edwards.
• 24:56
  Made sure to include only things Vader has done like we mentioned
• 25:01
  earlier like they didn't reinvent anything or give him
• 25:04
  new powers. The sequence were all things
• 25:06
  that have been done in previous films, Force choking levitating,
• 25:10
  people levitating objects slashing with a lightsaber And
• 25:16
  that's it. I think that comment about
• 25:18
  writing on the top of a TIE fighter like, he didn't Rebels.
• 25:22
  That was a bit extra the entrances of a Skywalker.
• 25:27
  No, no, bounce. As long as the cave is swishing,
• 25:33
  Luke's. Always wearing a cape when he
• 25:34
  makes his dramatic entrances. Yeah, it's a thing.
• 25:38
  It runs in the family. I don't know.
• 25:41
  That Leah ever wore a cloak, but she had that, she had that like
• 25:45
  the hood. She had that collar popped
• 25:48
  collar in The Last Jedi. That was, oh yeah, that was
• 25:51
  great. I love that you're out.
• 25:53
  Like wrapped around her. Yes face.
• 25:55
  Yeah. Okay.
• 25:56
  So the same two friends I was talking about down in Florida,
• 25:59
  You Know Who You Are. Yeah, I know you listening.
• 26:02
  They have a Chihuahua who oftentimes buries herself in her
• 26:06
  bed and has a blanket and only like the bottom half of her face
• 26:10
  is covered. And I will get a text saying
• 26:13
  it's léa léa from The Last Jedi with the popped collar and I can
• 26:18
  see the resemblance. Yeah, being a damn, princess Eva
• 26:25
  General? Yeah.
• 26:27
  Galactic Diva. Yes.
• 26:29
  Yes. What do you make a sticker with?
• 26:30
  Out with her hair on it, we'll do it.
• 26:34
  Let's do it. We you and I are glad take Divas
• 26:38
  bitch. That's right.
• 26:40
  I mean, I'm staying at the star Cruiser Hotel down in Florida in
• 26:43
  April. I will officially be a galactic
• 26:45
  Diva after that shit, seriously. Oh my God, please send me lots
• 26:50
  of pictures because I would also be very poor afterwards.
• 26:56
  All seven of us staying, there will be I know you gotta win the
• 27:00
  lotto. So, if you want to go to that
• 27:02
  hotel, if you had to narrow it down to one moment in that
• 27:06
  hallway, that was your favorite moment.
• 27:11
  What would it be? Could you do it?
• 27:13
  I don't know if I can. I mean there are a several
• 27:16
  moments in there that I hmm I love I would say though, that.
• 27:21
  Yeah, the moment we pulls all the guns out of everyone's hand
• 27:24
  and just like slashes his way through the people.
• 27:28
  That that moment I was just Like holy shit.
• 27:31
  They're going for it. They're really doing it.
• 27:34
  They went all-in and they did it so well.
• 27:36
  Yeah. That would be mine.
• 27:40
  As much as I love the guy getting cut in half.
• 27:44
  I mean, it's all the pomp I want from my sister.
• 27:47
  Lord terrible. It's awful.
• 27:49
  My favorite part because it gets me every single time, Is the
• 27:55
  rebel person. The rebel guy who's pounding on
• 28:00
  the door. Say how about us?
• 28:02
  Yeah, that is whoever that man is, and I'm sorry, I don't know
• 28:06
  his name right now. Thank you, sir, for making that
• 28:10
  so believable. Yeah.
• 28:13
  But could you imagine being an actor in the hallway scene, with
• 28:16
  that coming toward you? It wouldn't be fake, I would be
• 28:19
  afraid anyway. Oh yeah, when I was playing my
• 28:23
  VR Vader game, Mmmmm. Yeah, the door opens and fader
• 28:26
  walks right up to I. Yeah, it was scary.
• 28:29
  It was actually really scary. Visually he's extremely
• 28:32
  imposing. He's huge.
• 28:34
  He's like seven feet tall. Yeah, because his metal legs and
• 28:37
  all that shit, but like, yeah, then you add the what he's doing
• 28:41
  and he's doing so effortlessly. So conditioned, you know?
• 28:47
  Yeah. A master at his craft, all in
• 28:51
  one hallway scene. Yeah thank you.
• 28:54
  Gareth my God. Thank you all of you.
• 28:56
  Thank you. From the bottom of my blackened
• 29:01
  heart. Thank your stone-cold heart.
• 29:06

• 29:15
  Good place to end it as a great place.
• 29:17
