0:03
guess you also want us to say something
0:06
should we say one of the three things we
0:07
are allowed to say okay um the title
0:10
well we can say the title you want to
0:12
take that one starf Fighter yeah and
0:14
Starf Fighter is not a sequel it's not a
0:17
prequel it's a new standalone adventure
0:20
with new characters taking place in a
0:22
new time period uh about a half dozen
0:25
years after episode 9 and the Battle of
0:28
Exagol sort of it feels so cliche to say
0:32
that this really formed as Ryan said
0:36
earlier it formed my idea of what movies
0:38
are and it's not just that these movies
0:41
gave me movie memories they gave me life
0:44
memories um they literally taught me a
0:47
cinematic language a storytelling
0:49
language that I reference constantly um
0:54
and so it's sort of a little bit surreal
0:56
to now get to do it ourselves um it's
1:00
terrifying but thrilling you know i
1:03
think it's like well like Sean was
1:04
saying you know it's uh uh uh I mean my
1:08
my mother actually sent picture of my
1:10
Star Wars sheets i I had them at five
1:13
probably dreaming about Star Wars before
1:16
you ever saw it it's always been there
1:20
and it probably framed Yeah our idea of
1:22
what even a movie was so um it's just
1:26
like deep in the DNA but I think all of
1:28
that aside this this script is so good
1:33
so it's so uh filled with heart and it's
1:37
uh and humor and adventure and I just
1:40
think it that's what Shawn does better
1:44
than anyone i had an idea um and I
1:46
started working with Jonathan Tropper
1:48
the screenwriter but around that time
1:50
Ryan and I got to know each other a bit
1:53
and thus began some conversations some
1:56
dinners some Zooms and we started
1:58
talking about well what what do we want
2:01
a Star Wars movie to be and so it was
2:03
just this sort of for me beautiful
2:05
experience of baking into this script
2:08
this guy um who for me is a dream come
2:10
true in any movie but my god Brian
2:13
Gosling in a Star Wars movie I can't
2:16
imagine anything cooler and so the
2:17
script we have is really it's like a
2:19
transfusion from both of us so it's got
2:22
both our creative blood flowing in the
2:26
you got really specific there i was told
2:28
this was a generic interview damn it i
2:30
know okay i realized we were getting
2:31
specific i at least I warned people that
2:34
I am the spoiler problem but I just It's
2:36
not like oh the script was perfect then
2:38
oh Ryan Gosling no like this really got
2:40
baked by both of us and I've loved that
2:42
process you don't have to do you want to
2:45
leave so you don't blush too much um
2:47
it's because I'm blonde well that helps
2:50
the blonde helps um because you know
2:52
Luke was blonde too and look how that
2:54
worked out that worked out um and Hayden
2:57
and Hayden and that's it yeah so mostly
2:59
hair color and second would be profound
3:03
talent and third would be ineffably cool
3:06
in ways I can't articulate yeah but the
3:08
blonde thing was really mostly the blond
