Was really keen to be faithful to the originals 2005 01:57:23,370 --> 01:57:24,985 and to have nice callbacks to them. 2006 01:57:26,581 --> 01:57:31,075 There's a famous shot of Luke sort of leaning over and talking to his aunt, 2007 01:57:32,212 --> 01:57:35,329 and we want to try and get that same callback 2008 01:57:35,423 --> 01:57:37,755 with Rey looking in over the shoulder. 2009 01:57:41,096 --> 01:57:42,552 I don't like this. 2010 01:57:44,015 --> 01:57:46,631 - You're gonna love it. - I don't like it, eunice. 2011 01:57:46,726 --> 01:57:49,468 I'm not naturally a hugely adventurous person. 2012 01:57:50,272 --> 01:57:52,684 I defeated the dark lord, isn't that enough? 2013 01:57:54,067 --> 01:57:57,855 It takes me a long time to get over things in general. Fear, in general. 2014 01:57:59,739 --> 01:58:03,857 - I really don't like it. - You'll be all right. 2015 01:58:03,952 --> 01:58:05,817 I can't do it. 2016 01:58:05,912 --> 01:58:08,654 I really don't like it. 2017 01:58:09,291 --> 01:58:12,579 - That's it. - With everything you just did on that set, 2018 01:58:12,669 --> 01:58:14,375 you're scared of that? 2019 01:58:14,462 --> 01:58:17,249 Behind the scenes, don't never show that bit! 2020 01:58:17,340 --> 01:58:18,705 Never show that! 2021 01:58:19,384 --> 01:58:21,295 This is horrible. 2022 01:58:21,386 --> 01:58:23,877 Eunice came up and made a point, 2023 01:58:23,972 --> 01:58:27,009 which is, this is how we met Rey. On a sled. 2024 01:58:27,100 --> 01:58:31,139 Obviously, I'd thought about it, but not really the cyclical thing 2025 01:58:31,229 --> 01:58:33,470 of starting and ending a story in the same way. 2026 01:58:35,859 --> 01:58:39,101 You know, it's genuinely amazing to see this, 2027 01:58:39,195 --> 01:58:41,982 it didn't have a blaster hole in it the first time. 2028 01:58:43,450 --> 01:58:46,283 This was the first set I ever saw, out in Tunisia, 2029 01:58:47,662 --> 01:58:50,028 and now here we are at the end of it all. 2030 01:58:50,624 --> 01:58:56,915 And I gotta say, mm, kinda, a little bit, uh, not sad, wistful, I suppose. 2031 01:58:58,340 --> 01:59:01,277 We thought we'd finish off star wars exactly as it's supposed to be. 2032 01:59:01,301 --> 01:59:05,169 Miniatures. Tatooine. The whole thing. 2033 01:59:05,263 --> 01:59:07,491 - They look back. - And then back to the fire. 2034 01:59:07,515 --> 01:59:10,382 - Brought focus back to the... - Copy, yeah.

When you're ready. 2036 01:59:13,021 --> 01:59:15,478 The giant track and the jawas next to it. 2037 01:59:18,943 --> 01:59:21,150 Everything is summed up in those moments. 2038 01:59:21,237 --> 01:59:24,855 And it's part of this bookending what started so long ago. 2039 01:59:28,119 --> 01:59:31,031 You wanna make sure you're ending the Skywalker saga 2040 01:59:31,122 --> 01:59:35,365 in a way that feels fitting and emotional and gratifying, you know? 2041 01:59:35,460 --> 01:59:40,420 The end of this saga has to feel surprising, but also inevitable. 2042 01:59:40,507 --> 01:59:44,716 When you look through it again, you think "of course that's how it had to end." 2043 01:59:44,803 --> 01:59:47,169 "Of course that's where these characters had to go." 2044 01:59:47,263 --> 01:59:49,629 "Of course that's how we had to leave this galaxy." 2045 01:59:55,772 --> 02:00:00,311 It is incredibly surreal to work on a star wars movie at all. 2046 02:00:00,402 --> 02:00:01,892 To work on a star wars movie 2047 02:00:01,986 --> 02:00:04,853 where you're recreating the homestead where Luke was raised 2048 02:00:04,948 --> 02:00:09,988 and, you know, on Tatooine is obviously as surreal as anything. 2049 02:00:10,537 --> 02:00:12,493 It's going right to Luke's... 2050 02:00:13,081 --> 02:00:15,697 Yeah, but also look. Double. See the other one. 2051 02:00:16,751 --> 02:00:17,831 It's crazy, isn't it”? 2052 02:00:19,546 --> 02:00:21,753 The idea that Rey is there, 2053 02:00:23,133 --> 02:00:26,296 it feels like, despite everything that we've seen her go through 2054 02:00:26,386 --> 02:00:27,796 and all we've done, 2055 02:00:27,887 --> 02:00:32,881 there is something about that, that feels primal and inevitable and really lovely. 2056 02:00:37,313 --> 02:00:40,100 I think star wars, uniquely in its mythology, 2057 02:00:40,191 --> 02:00:44,651 is about cycles of life and teachers, mentors, parents, children. 2058 02:00:44,738 --> 02:00:47,354 It's got that generational aspect to it. 2059 02:00:48,283 --> 02:00:50,820 There is this idea of the handing on of sabers 2060 02:00:50,910 --> 02:00:53,026 and the handing on of a jedi legacy. 2061 02:00:53,121 --> 02:00:54,952 And so we have that, I think, 2062 02:00:55,039 --> 02:00:58,952 as a generation that has inherited the characters and the stories. 2063 02:00:59,043 --> 02:01:02,877 Just like in star wars, it's a privilege and it's a responsibility. 2064 02:01:03,381 --> 02:01:05,963 Take your saber. Look at it. 2065 02:01:09,929 --> 02:01:11,965 Doing it felt really emotional. 2066 02:01:12,056 --> 02:01:14,638 'Cause it's, like, a lovely, emotional thing anyway. 2067 02:01:14,726 --> 02:01:16,808 And it's uplifting and it's a proper end. 2068 02:01:16,895 --> 02:01:19,136 Like, it is a story end. 2069 02:01:19,230 --> 02:01:22,814 It's not "tune in for the next episode” sort of thing. 2070 02:01:25,278 --> 02:01:26,734 Rey Skywalker. 2071 02:01:33,411 --> 02:01:34,651 Cut. 2072 02:01:41,252 --> 02:01:44,210 That was great, dais.
