Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to another episode of Nerdificent. I am
Speaker 1: one half of your host. If you're way Wayne and
Speaker 1: sitting across from me, as always used Danny Fernandez, Hello, Hello,
Speaker 1: I am well, I have my tea here in water
Speaker 1: and Ricola. You know, I'm trying to trying to stay clean,
Speaker 1: not get sick. Not get sick out here, everyone's getting sick.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking you're four. I might have knocked on wood
Speaker 1: built up my parents immunity. Oh that's how you did it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I had a sick child constantly in rotation. Now
Speaker 1: she'll just be sick and I'm like, sorry, chief, let
Speaker 1: me uh wipe your nose down. But you ain't getting me.
Speaker 1: Aren't they sick like the first like five years of
Speaker 1: their life because they're constantly because what what's happening is
Speaker 1: like they'll be home and you make them feel better
Speaker 1: and they go back to school with other sick kids.
Speaker 1: So it just is in a rotation until all the
Speaker 1: kids finally build up their immunity. Well, yeah, I'm I'm not.
Speaker 1: I don't have kids, but who I'm looking at right now?
Speaker 1: I totally remember that we forgot to get introductions. We
Speaker 1: just started off that's okay. I also don't have kids.
Speaker 1: I have two for babies and they're like my kids,
Speaker 1: but they don't get me sick obviously. What kind of
Speaker 1: babies there? There are two dogs their rescues and they're
Speaker 1: white fluffy, I don't know. They're Hoodle mixes rescues and
Speaker 1: who are other voice? Iffy? Yeah, our man, Tino? What
Speaker 1: is you only see you as Tino Stark? What is
Speaker 1: your okay? Well, there you go, that's what you go.
Speaker 1: That's your alis okay, exactly. Federal government, that's another question.
Speaker 1: Here to get you in trouble. Yeah, we're we're not
Speaker 1: here to have the I R S. Text guy. He
Speaker 1: was listening. He was in his office like we got them, boy.
Speaker 1: And now you know, it's so funny. Before they started,
Speaker 1: we were we were joking around about like security and
Speaker 1: I was saying, where else trying to pay my student loans?
Speaker 1: They were asking me all these questions and some of
Speaker 1: them I didn't remember, and I forgot my pen and
Speaker 1: I'm like, they're like, sorry, man, we have to do this,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, no one is trying to pay off
Speaker 1: my student loads and if yeah, yeah, nobody's calling y'all
Speaker 1: navigant or whatever to try and help me pay off
Speaker 1: my student loans. Um anyways, I just find that really funny.
Speaker 1: I think I think it is hilarious where the piece
Speaker 1: the person finally gets in there like oh nope, and
Speaker 1: then they just peace out when they see the annount
Speaker 1: because all student loans are awful. Yeah, that's what's funny
Speaker 1: is I feel like there are some places that are
Speaker 1: asking for way too much security, Like when I want
Speaker 1: like my Starbucks gift card and it's like you need
Speaker 1: to use a special character. I was like, no, let
Speaker 1: me put dog if I want. This is a Starbucks
Speaker 1: gift card. Relax, these pictures have pigeons. And the other
Speaker 1: catch us stuff is especially if you're trying to figure
Speaker 1: out your passwords and you're having to keep do it.
Speaker 1: How many more traffic lights do I need to click
Speaker 1: on these boxes before they take me to the next step.
Speaker 1: The technology is listening. I know now they're now they're
Speaker 1: going to create Okay, wait, we're we have to hop
Speaker 1: over what we're speaking about this week, just because we
Speaker 1: have a really long episode that we're bringing you all.
Speaker 1: But I did want to say that I got hooked
Speaker 1: into the circle and I hate it because everybody was like,
Speaker 1: you have to watch the show, and I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: I hate reality TV. I'm not a Big Brother person.
Speaker 1: And then I watched the first episode and I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, shoot me, that's who I'm voting for. Okay,
Speaker 1: do you like it? Yes? What is the Okay? So
Speaker 1: let me let me explain it to you. So it's
Speaker 1: just like Big Brother, but they're kind of like an apartment,
Speaker 1: it's like in a hotel, and they can't see each other.
Speaker 1: So it's they're all operating like online. So you can
Speaker 1: pick your profile picture and some people lie because you're
Speaker 1: not gonna be seen, right, So you could be the
Speaker 1: hot girl or you could be whatever, you could be
Speaker 1: whoever you want to be on there. So, but can
Speaker 1: they hook up and like meat, Well not unless you
Speaker 1: get kicked off. So here's the thing. If you get
Speaker 1: voted out because and and the way that they like
Speaker 1: get a connection is you can DM each other, you
Speaker 1: can group chats, you can make an alliance and only
Speaker 1: add like three people, but you can't see you can't
Speaker 1: see the other person. Um. And so if you get
Speaker 1: kicked out, like you're you're the least popular or whatever, um,
Speaker 1: you can visit one player before you leave. Then you
Speaker 1: can go into their room. Well I'm not going to
Speaker 1: tell you anything as far as physical, but you can
Speaker 1: go into someone's room and see if they are who
Speaker 1: they say they are, oh my gosh, or if you
Speaker 1: just like, we're talking to this dude that you like,
Speaker 1: have been talking to for weeks and you go in
Speaker 1: and you see that it's actually like an old woman
Speaker 1: or something that's not something that happened, but that I'm
Speaker 1: just giving you, which no one after this. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm blocked cat fishing, so locked in, but also just
Speaker 1: so fascinating to me that like it reminds me of
Speaker 1: when I was on AIM and I would be in
Speaker 1: like the Backstreet Boy chat room or like the DBZ
Speaker 1: chat room and like making friends and I had an
Speaker 1: Internet boyfriend and all of that. So it is funny
Speaker 1: that like final question, can you change your profile picture? Yes?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but if you do, people know that you
Speaker 1: lied and you're like yeah. But also also it's fascinating
Speaker 1: watching you'll we'll have to talk about this. It's fascinating
Speaker 1: watching which which pictures they choose, because some people are
Speaker 1: themselves and they're just like, oh, this picture of me
Speaker 1: on the beach in a bikini, and I'm like, it's
Speaker 1: just their thought process is like people will love this,
Speaker 1: and it's like no, some people actually will be like
Speaker 1: f her, Like you know, she's full of herself, you know.
Speaker 1: So it's just like interesting, what all the guys and
Speaker 1: all the girls what they think everyone wants, which is
Speaker 1: just hot people. And in reality, a lot of times
Speaker 1: people just want, like someone that's real. What should they
Speaker 1: find out? Um, we're talking about Star Wars. Yeah, something
Speaker 1: that's not real. But speaking whoa what? But speaking of looks,
Speaker 1: we're talking about the fashion of Star Wars. So I
Speaker 1: guess to kick the conversation off, are there any like
Speaker 1: standout looks or pieces in the Star Wars movies that
Speaker 1: you are just in love with? And I gotta say
Speaker 1: before we get started, Um, I started. I picked up
Speaker 1: Battle Front and two again because everyone's like it's good
Speaker 1: now and they and this the last Jedi scene where
Speaker 1: they're in that cool planet with the white sand and
Speaker 1: the red dirt. You you you essentially play that battle
Speaker 1: and it looks so gorgeous, and I remember thinking it
Speaker 1: was gorgeous, like watching and I was like, oh man,
Speaker 1: I got to experience. So that being said, what's like
Speaker 1: a piece or you know, for me, I would have
Speaker 1: to say, it's actually imperial uniforms. Yeah, totally. You know,
Speaker 1: they're the bad guys. Nobody wants to like them, but
Speaker 1: they do look clean. Yeah, it was pressed. They know
Speaker 1: what they're doing. They did even when they're incompetent, they
Speaker 1: still look good. They look good, vader o. God that
Speaker 1: I had to agree for like a minimalist standpoint, the
Speaker 1: imperials is so pleasing to the eye. And for my pick,
Speaker 1: I'm going to go with something that's a little bit
Speaker 1: more girly and uh where I'm gonna go with the
Speaker 1: Padma Almadela. I called this um, I don't like sand
Speaker 1: dress when she was rolling around again. It's like a
Speaker 1: color not not with the drift. This is like a
Speaker 1: cold shoulder and it's a long Maxi gown. It goes
Speaker 1: on from like a pale yellow to a pink and
Speaker 1: it kind of looks like it is exactly that one.
Speaker 1: Is exactly that one. It looks kind of angelic. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that's what I look like about. It looks kind
Speaker 1: of Roman if I remember correctly, that's the one she
Speaker 1: wore when they were at the lake house and naboo,
Speaker 1: it's the Yeah, it's the lake dress, but I also
Speaker 1: like to call it, I don't like sand dress. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so where he says that to her, So it's all bred.
Speaker 1: It starts with like a and color that fades to pink,
Speaker 1: that fades to purple, is off the shoulder. And yeah,
Speaker 1: while we're already talking about her, I do remember out
Speaker 1: of one thing, you know, there's lots of thoughts about
Speaker 1: the you know, prequel trilogy, I will say the one
Speaker 1: thing that stand out as being like a strong like
Speaker 1: thing produced by that trilogy was Queen Amidala's looks like
Speaker 1: just that kind of like obviously Semi Geisha inspired one
Speaker 1: line down the lip like that still to this day,
Speaker 1: I think is it was one of probably the standout
Speaker 1: looks in Star Wars. And I remember, and I remember
Speaker 1: it clearly because I remember my step sister had the
Speaker 1: Barbie doll because they had the Barbie dolls for where
Speaker 1: they had all the different outfits that they had, and
Speaker 1: she had the pad May she had that one in
Speaker 1: a third one, and I remember my dad kept telling
Speaker 1: her not to open it to like just like leaving in.
Speaker 1: But like I remember she just was like, play with this, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're supposed to do Yeah, I know, that's I remember. Um.
Speaker 1: There was when I think Star Wars came back out.
Speaker 1: They were they were talking about like the toys, because
Speaker 1: you know, as we talked about in our in our
Speaker 1: toy episode, we're talking about how Star Wars kind of
Speaker 1: brought on those new sized action figures like that was
Speaker 1: because of the Star Wars one. So obviously they're worth
Speaker 1: a lot of money. And my dad he was watching
Speaker 1: it and he looks at me. He was like, I
Speaker 1: bought all those toys for you and you just played
Speaker 1: with them. And I was like, yeah, that's just started crying.
Speaker 1: That's that's what you do with toys. Dad, Like, oh, man, probably,
Speaker 1: I don't know, like mint condition inside the box. Unlike
Speaker 1: my princess died beanie baby. Oddly enough, do you want
Speaker 1: to know? The most expensive beanie babies are the ones
Speaker 1: with defects. If if you have defect beanie babies, those
Speaker 1: go for tons of money. But like any other like
Speaker 1: regular beanie babies. Nothing. I just donated a bunch of
Speaker 1: beanie babies too. I think that holds true too for
Speaker 1: the Star Wars actually figures themselves. There's some yode out
Speaker 1: there with one green eye and one blue eye and
Speaker 1: it's worth a ton. Yah. That's crazy. The this Google
Speaker 1: resorts of results are very different. It looks like you
Speaker 1: can get one for sixteen dollars and another one for
Speaker 1: so you know, dealer's choice. M Can you guess what
Speaker 1: my favorite costume is? I have tweeted about it a
Speaker 1: little bit the last couple of months. Okay, um, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get some hits. I'm I'm gonna get some
Speaker 1: get some hints. Um is it a female? Male? Character? Male? Okay?
Speaker 1: All right, okay, UM, I can't say what one of
Speaker 1: my tweets is because this is an rated E for everyone.
Speaker 1: Of course, of course you wouldn't be able to read
Speaker 1: one of your tweets on it. Um who Okay if
Speaker 1: it's no no no no no no no no, it
Speaker 1: because because because I because I know there's one tweet
Speaker 1: or one joke you reference, But then I feel like
Speaker 1: it's not the on. I don't think it's on because
Speaker 1: his outfits are basic. Um wow, I think I know,
Speaker 1: I think I think I know who. Okay, let's see
Speaker 1: if I get the character, and then if I get
Speaker 1: the character out to the guests, Is it Lando? No? Okay,
Speaker 1: then my next guest, who have I literally been lusting
Speaker 1: about NonStop? No? Really? No? Okay, good that we're wasting
Speaker 1: people's time. Dude, the Mandalorian. I know it's so. I
Speaker 1: know we were thinking movies, but I said, the last
Speaker 1: couple of months, yeah, oh my gosh, that nobody has
Speaker 1: more swagger and the most uncomfortable fit. It's like watching
Speaker 1: Michael Keaton in that rubber Batman suit but yet so
Speaker 1: fine his outfit, especially because they keep like with each
Speaker 1: If you all been watching The Mandalorian, I'm sure like
Speaker 1: with each new you know, piece of metal, he gets
Speaker 1: like it's just even more his insignias, and it's just hot.
Speaker 1: He's hot. He's hot. I want to know the logistics
Speaker 1: because he can't take it off. But I'm sure that
Speaker 1: he's adult. That's even wilders heck, and I'm going to
Speaker 1: change the subject before I get in trouble, but we're
Speaker 1: gonna look forward to tweet. I want to know the logistics.
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's consummated his adulthood at at many moments. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's fine, that was fine. Landos is very cool, though,
Speaker 1: and did you see that was uncut? Ems was the
Speaker 1: picture of Adam Sandler and he was basically wearing the
Speaker 1: same thing, and Billy d Williams tweeted it out. He
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, who would better fun? Um? Yeah there
Speaker 1: there's also like the kind of difference of the New
Speaker 1: Orlando that Glover was in where it looks like he's
Speaker 1: wearing this loosened tie and that look that one that
Speaker 1: looks slaps. Oh. I did want to say because Wendy
Speaker 1: was was whispering, po damn written at me. Um, but
Speaker 1: look at this note that I have from September and
Speaker 1: that's all it says. Can you say that on err
Speaker 1: or yea, yeah you can say damn Ran. It's like
Speaker 1: a tweet and that's all it says is Poe damn Ran.
Speaker 1: It's so true though, he just got continuously hotter in
Speaker 1: every new movie. Yeah, this is what the show is,
Speaker 1: which is also the the videos of him and uh no, no, no,
Speaker 1: it's who voices Pedro. Yeah, him and Paige Row like
Speaker 1: the interview they did together, well, no, they did an
Speaker 1: interview together and then they would like dip in too,
Speaker 1: like saying things in Spanish, and I was like like
Speaker 1: that like just that that that energy. I was like that,
Speaker 1: I love that where you're just like, yo, we're just
Speaker 1: browing out. And I was like, I watch a whole
Speaker 1: show like you give give them Jeff Gold Blue Show
Speaker 1: and let them go around experiencing things. Yeah, you heard me. First,
Speaker 1: bring me in s E P. If you do a check.
Speaker 1: I guess the first thing we'll talk about is a
Speaker 1: New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, which were the
Speaker 1: Academy Award winning costumes from the original Star Wars and
Speaker 1: The Empire strikes Back, and those were crafted by John
Speaker 1: Molo uh Molo Moloo Molo, John Molo and the legendary
Speaker 1: designer who also did the costumes for Alien in nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty Gandhi Chaplain and Event Horizon. So you know, I
Speaker 1: know that Event Horizon movie is horrifying. I've seen it
Speaker 1: once and I've never watching it again. Oh man, I
Speaker 1: think I vaguely remember it, but now it's like I
Speaker 1: gotta go back and watch it. Yeah. Sure. Eli was
Speaker 1: tweeting about, um, what is it fire in the sky
Speaker 1: which is terrified? Just that one scene. The rest of
Speaker 1: it's okay, but y'all know the scene the eye y'all know. Um. Yeah, So, actually,
Speaker 1: throughout Molo's legendary career, he wrote several books on costuming
Speaker 1: which documented the differences in military uniforms throughout history, including
Speaker 1: the Crimea War, the American Revolutionary War, in the Seven
Speaker 1: Years War. And he brought all of this knowledge and
Speaker 1: designed to Star Wars, which you can definitely see, like
Speaker 1: we were talking about and the Stormtroopers. The Stormtroopers are
Speaker 1: clean as heck. I love their outfit. Definitely a lot
Speaker 1: of military experience and it's conveyed through that, I know.
Speaker 1: And it's very funny because we had Carbonion last week
Speaker 1: and he was kind of talking about this was off, Mike,
Speaker 1: but like how like now in the Star Wars universe,
Speaker 1: there's people who keep records of these things and so
Speaker 1: if like someone was to go, what does that button
Speaker 1: on that suit does? Someone has to figure that out.
Speaker 1: So that's really cool to know that not only is
Speaker 1: a great design, but also there's functionality to it too. Indeed. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so in the collaboration with his brother Boris, with illustrator
Speaker 1: Malcolm McGregor, Molow's research into war uniforms made him a
Speaker 1: sought after expert among Hollywood elites. Like Stanley Kubrick. Molo
Speaker 1: worked on Barry Lyndon, where he helped to make sure
Speaker 1: the costumes were period accurate. So when Lucas came around
Speaker 1: talking about Star Wars, Molo was ready as a blank
Speaker 1: slate when it came to designing these sci fi costumes.
Speaker 1: He was ready to stop consulting and began designing. And
Speaker 1: Molo took the job and began constructing several pieces. Uh.
Speaker 1: And so he's quoted saying, I don't want the audience
Speaker 1: to notice any of the costumes. I just want to
Speaker 1: see light versus dark. That's what Lucas told Molo. So
Speaker 1: the aim was to make Lucas's fantasy universe appear authentic.
Speaker 1: So Molo considered that his total ignorance of science fiction
Speaker 1: was advantageous in achieving this. Yeah, I guess we should
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about the light and dark. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's totally accurate. And it's very like even if I
Speaker 1: weren't a Star Wars fan, Like just looking at the poster,
Speaker 1: you could immediately tell, like when I think even of
Speaker 1: Darth Vader, Kylo wren as opposed to Luke and Leia,
Speaker 1: like the white contrasted with the I just find that
Speaker 1: really fast and like I said, angelic, because a lot
Speaker 1: of the a lot of like Leia Pad may even
Speaker 1: luke to some extent, like the fabric, Yes who has,
Speaker 1: it's always like a softer edge. There's a lot more texture,
Speaker 1: whereas opposed to when you look at the Imperials, it's
Speaker 1: always sharp, very you know, sharp corners, very smooth and shiny,
Speaker 1: like they have no room before error. That's kind of
Speaker 1: what they want. Very militant, kind of like what we
Speaker 1: talked about. And the masks are always menacing that there's
Speaker 1: very specific shapes to these masks that you look at
Speaker 1: it you're like, I don't want to mess with that,
Speaker 1: you know, you don't want to approach them, right, And
Speaker 1: then when you look at the Resistance or the Rebel Alliance,
Speaker 1: they're always very rag tag earth tones, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. So they're more grounded within the world that
Speaker 1: they live in. Yeah, And I know, And there's something
Speaker 1: to like having the dark be so white and bright,
Speaker 1: especially I think in the earlier moves there. I feel
Speaker 1: like there's something to that to where like the grunts,
Speaker 1: the like ponds are very white bright. And then as
Speaker 1: you move up the ranks, it's just dark, dark to
Speaker 1: the top guide Luke, Darth Vader being just all black,
Speaker 1: almost like a spectrum. Yeah, yeah, that's that's so true. Yeah,
Speaker 1: as you get further within the Imperial the darker you get.
Speaker 1: We have to take a really quick break and then
Speaker 1: we're going to hop back actually into the origins of
Speaker 1: Darth Vader's helmet right after this, and we're bat we're
Speaker 1: talking about the costumes and fashion of Star Wars, and uh,
Speaker 1: we were kind of during the break just talking about
Speaker 1: how dope Darth Vader's helmet is and like the lore
Speaker 1: behind it. But you know, I know that you knew
Speaker 1: quite a bit about it. Being from a background of
Speaker 1: making props and costumes myself, I find that stuff kind
Speaker 1: of fascinating because it's a collaboration of form and functionality
Speaker 1: as well as esthetics. I remember reading when Ralph mccorin
Speaker 1: originally designed Vader's helmet. The idea was that he was
Speaker 1: going to be coming onto the Rebel ship and it
Speaker 1: was just going to basically be an e v a
Speaker 1: suit helmet and he was going to take it off,
Speaker 1: and that was the only part where we're going to
Speaker 1: ever see that so radical different departure. I wonder what.
Speaker 1: I guess they just found it more than like the
Speaker 1: actor underneath it, Like they just found it more terrifying
Speaker 1: to have his helmet stay on the entire time. Definitely,
Speaker 1: because what you can't see is always scary, right, because
Speaker 1: it's it's not fear, and it's it's emotionless. So you're
Speaker 1: talking to that person that's under the mask, and you're like,
Speaker 1: what are they thinking right now? I'm getting nothing, but
Speaker 1: I'm it's petrified. Plus, you got to imagine, back in
Speaker 1: ninety seven, no one knew anything about this universe. So
Speaker 1: here's this guy all cloaked in black with his helmet.
Speaker 1: Is even a human? Is he a robot? We didn't
Speaker 1: know these things back then. Well, what about you were
Speaker 1: saying that it was a samurai inspired which I totally
Speaker 1: forgot about. It was a lot of Ralph mccorn's work
Speaker 1: were notes from lucas uh Uh samurai inspired, as well
Speaker 1: as Japanese culture in general, you know, clerical robes and
Speaker 1: things of that nature. Yeah, so, uh, it looks here.
Speaker 1: This is from force material dot com, where they actually
Speaker 1: have an entire article on the origin of Darth Vader,
Speaker 1: the look and and here they say that, Uh, for Vader,
Speaker 1: they dressed a model in a black motorcycle suit, a
Speaker 1: Nazi helmet, a gas mask, and amongst cloak they found
Speaker 1: in the costumer's middle ages department. And honestly, it does
Speaker 1: like I'm looking at their helmets that is like, looks
Speaker 1: just like Vader's helmet. Um. And then I think there
Speaker 1: was another thing where they were going to They had
Speaker 1: the eyes open and decided to cover the eyes, which
Speaker 1: I also think is smart, like you were saying, Wendy,
Speaker 1: for emotional purposes. It's like you can't see the person's eyes.
Speaker 1: It's almost scarier. It's almost scarier because then you can't
Speaker 1: connect with them at all, you know, then they're like inhuman. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's actually scarier to me. Those are always the type
Speaker 1: of Okay, so I love horror as if he knows,
Speaker 1: and I love all of the horror um, Halloween horror nights.
Speaker 1: Those never scare me. But the thing that I don't
Speaker 1: like is anything that's inhuman because you can't reason with it.
Speaker 1: Like zombies for some reason, they get me because it's
Speaker 1: just like you can't reason anyways, They're just gonna come
Speaker 1: to eat your brain. Yeah, And I also do like
Speaker 1: that with Vader. They added on I was talking about
Speaker 1: texture earlier, and we're talking about how they also, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of used a little bit of that Moto Cross
Speaker 1: motorcycle jacket and kind of a texture. So see it
Speaker 1: from I think it's like a jumpsuit that he wears
Speaker 1: amongst everything else. And you have this like very sleek
Speaker 1: leather like material that has long white stitches, so it's
Speaker 1: not really white stitches, but stitches going down the arms
Speaker 1: all the way down to the pants or to defeat.
Speaker 1: And it's just I love seeing that. You know, it's
Speaker 1: not one tone, it's all black, but there it's three
Speaker 1: D and essentially, yeah, definitely there's a lot of textas
Speaker 1: and a lot of layers going on. I just love
Speaker 1: the idea that he like takes off, he gets angry
Speaker 1: and storms off on a motorcycle, just has like guns
Speaker 1: and roses, gay and it's Kate just like behind him. Iconic.
Speaker 1: Another thing that they're mentioned in this article is also
Speaker 1: that Lucas has been really vocal about his love for
Speaker 1: Laurence of Arabia, so likely that those are the sort
Speaker 1: of ropes he had in mind. And I'm looking at
Speaker 1: is still shot from it, and it does. It has
Speaker 1: like the satchel and the like, like the robes and whatnot,
Speaker 1: also protective in the desert, you know, for the desert
Speaker 1: temperatures that a lot of the other characters are in.
Speaker 1: Do you mean if we talk a little bit about
Speaker 1: a concept that I've been playing with, it's what I
Speaker 1: call the desert dweller versus hero concept, And that's the
Speaker 1: idea that again, this stuff is all brand new. You
Speaker 1: see Obi Wan for the first time, and he's got
Speaker 1: all these robes on, there's nothing to separate from him
Speaker 1: from being just some random desert dweller and him actually
Speaker 1: wearing Jedi robes like nobody knew and even at the
Speaker 1: time they were filming, I'm not even entirely sure they
Speaker 1: were like, yes, that's what Jedi wear. Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1: That is so interesting because yeah, when you think about it,
Speaker 1: you know, we talked about like the current trilogy that's
Speaker 1: that's going that just ended, I guess, and that there's
Speaker 1: so much I guess, you know, meet behind it, where
Speaker 1: there's so much lore behind it that that they they're
Speaker 1: more likely trying to pay off, where like the stuff
Speaker 1: we're talking about now is the at the very big
Speaker 1: getting you know, where we can imagine that beyond this
Speaker 1: original trilogy. They thought it wasn't going any further so
Speaker 1: it can be more encapsulated. So yeah, it was when
Speaker 1: they were kind of figuring out, what are these the
Speaker 1: foundations of the lore that we know now. I forgot
Speaker 1: to bring up I was going to bring up my
Speaker 1: favorite costume designer who's not connected to this franchise, but
Speaker 1: it is Ruthie Carter and she was a costume designer
Speaker 1: for A Black Panther. She also did Dolomite. Um I
Speaker 1: think that's up for an Academy Awards for Costume Design. Yeah. Actually,
Speaker 1: I think that might have been a snub let me
Speaker 1: double from her for her. I know that the movie
Speaker 1: was snubbed, and so we were talking about um Me
Speaker 1: and Demi on stream the the Knobs, and I remember
Speaker 1: us being mad saying that Dolomite. Oh, you're right. I
Speaker 1: don't think she would at all. Well, because it says
Speaker 1: here Academy Award for Best Costume Design. So she's been
Speaker 1: nominated three times. One was for Malcolm X, one is
Speaker 1: for Amistade, and one was for A Black Panther. So
Speaker 1: it doesn't say Dolomite. She won for Black Panther. I
Speaker 1: believe she Yeah, yeah, Dolomite should have definitely been on there,
Speaker 1: especially based on the ones that are that are listed,
Speaker 1: and not necessarily you know, a dish to the ones
Speaker 1: that were listed. It's just that the costumes in Dolomite,
Speaker 1: you know, just to continue this shout out, we're so
Speaker 1: is stand out that it's very weird that it's, you know,
Speaker 1: not listed snubbed snub city. Circling back to Molo, who
Speaker 1: again worked on a lot of these original costumes instead
Speaker 1: of working with George Lucas, he said, quote, unlike period films,
Speaker 1: where there are limits to what is historically correct, there
Speaker 1: are none in science fiction, and the director can ask
Speaker 1: for any outlandish thing he wants, with the cost being
Speaker 1: his main handicap. George wasn't like that. He strongly believed
Speaker 1: that the costumes should be real clothes, and that if
Speaker 1: they were noticed too much, they would distract the attention
Speaker 1: of the audience. There's something it was kind of like,
Speaker 1: like what when I think of regular clothes, I think
Speaker 1: of Han Solo. Yes, like someone could wear that in Hollywood.
Speaker 1: That's how I caught like, he's the He's the original
Speaker 1: Disney bounder, Like just low key, low, low cost cause
Speaker 1: play that do you have a belt and a vest
Speaker 1: and a white shirt and you're good done, go go off.
Speaker 1: They just kind of did the same thing with po
Speaker 1: Dameron in later episodes, especially in the latest one in
Speaker 1: Rise and where they he straight up looked like Nathan
Speaker 1: Drake and I embraced it fully. Yeah. So another thing
Speaker 1: about Molo's he had to work on a budget of
Speaker 1: ninety thousand, which actually isn't a lot for when you
Speaker 1: think of how many people need to be costumed, and
Speaker 1: had just fourteen weeks to prepare the material for shooting.
Speaker 1: Working on a piece of science fiction in the mid
Speaker 1: nineteen seventies, a time when the dominant genre was gritty
Speaker 1: contemporary real is um for the raise the pressure for
Speaker 1: the film to be successful. Um. I was actually listening
Speaker 1: to an episode of Mystery Show where they were talking
Speaker 1: about the lunch boxes that were such a huge thing
Speaker 1: back in the day. There was was about Welcome Back Carter.
Speaker 1: It's a great episode, go listen to it, but they
Speaker 1: were talking about how that brand had passed up on
Speaker 1: doing a Star Wars lunchbox because they just thought like
Speaker 1: it wasn't gonna sell, and then we all know what happened.
Speaker 1: But it is fascinating that it's such a big thing
Speaker 1: for us. But originally it was such a risk and
Speaker 1: people are like, I don't know if this is going
Speaker 1: to pay off. If you're looking in stars, this War
Speaker 1: of Stars, if you look at the last two years
Speaker 1: of science fiction films that pre date Star Wars, it's
Speaker 1: mostly these gritty, environmental cautionary tales that are set in
Speaker 1: contemporary times, like nothing nowhere near what Star Wars was. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So one of the things is, uh, you know, the
Speaker 1: budget that they had for a huge sci fi movie
Speaker 1: at the time was only nine dollars, so they had
Speaker 1: to cut corners somehow, and Molo had to find a
Speaker 1: lot of ways to do this. For example, Luke's white
Speaker 1: pants or some author raged jeans that the costume department
Speaker 1: just bleached. And George Lucas envisioned the Jedi master Obi
Speaker 1: Wancanobi has like an unlikely combination of a monk in
Speaker 1: Samurai Warrior. Once again with those Samurai influences. Uh, he
Speaker 1: looks to me, he looks just like Jesus, I'm not
Speaker 1: kidding with like the robe and all of it. Jesus
Speaker 1: was the first samurai. Wow, open your third eye. Eye,
Speaker 1: that's what they don't want you to know. So you know,
Speaker 1: take that trick well, I mean a lot of of course,
Speaker 1: a lot of it is is inspired by religion or
Speaker 1: like a commentary on that as well, like the Light side,
Speaker 1: the Dark Side, the costumes, the Savior, Moti flying of course,
Speaker 1: I want to talk about that real quick too. That's
Speaker 1: interesting because you know, um, like they were saying, um
Speaker 1: Molo picked at the outfit a little more bulk gear
Speaker 1: and heavier drake, but they kind of went with the
Speaker 1: slightly warned earth tones. And I think a lot of
Speaker 1: the Jedi were a lot of earth tones. And it's
Speaker 1: funny because we often talk about light and dark, light
Speaker 1: and dark, but the Jedi is balanced, so they're not
Speaker 1: necessarily fully you know, of course they're the opposite of
Speaker 1: Seth because they're light. But I think, you know, the
Speaker 1: earth tones is a nice way to add a subtlety
Speaker 1: to it. Instead of being like the good guys were
Speaker 1: white and the guys were black, They're like, okay, we'll
Speaker 1: add some earth tones, and that that kind of creative thinking,
Speaker 1: I think really does make for some really good design.
Speaker 1: I always felt too that the Jedi, like in Universe,
Speaker 1: the Jedi dressed like that because they wanted to be
Speaker 1: seen as common man. Yeah you know yeah. Um So,
Speaker 1: moving on to one of my favorite costumes, Chewbacca. Um So,
Speaker 1: two sources reportedly inspired han solo sidekick. One would be
Speaker 1: Lucas's own Alaskan malamute and mattig ask Our Lemur's the
Speaker 1: actor Peter May who was ultimately in cased in and
Speaker 1: Gora wool and yak hair that sounds sounds hot, Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, the one at the guy at or a
Speaker 1: woman at um Disneyland. Also, how tall are you? I mean,
Speaker 1: are they on stilts? They got there? They're a little bit.
Speaker 1: They are. They're on a little bit of like a
Speaker 1: little lift, but they I think you still have to
Speaker 1: be tall to begin with. Yeah, Like, I couldn't play
Speaker 1: Chewbaca at the park if I wanted to. You wouldn't
Speaker 1: play Chewbac. You'd be a friend of chewba ex cast
Speaker 1: member things. So that's that if you didn't know, if
Speaker 1: you have a friend who like quote unquote plays a princess,
Speaker 1: you don't ask a princess if they play a princess,
Speaker 1: you ask if they're a friend, so like you say, oh,
Speaker 1: are you a friend of Ariel? And she's like, yes,
Speaker 1: I am a friend of Ariel if she is Ariel.
Speaker 1: Because they don't want to break the magic because there
Speaker 1: in the park that when you're out, even even off site,
Speaker 1: like if you're like, if you're at a bar and
Speaker 1: you bump into one, they'll say they're a friend of
Speaker 1: unless you know, there are a few drinks in. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if there are a few drinks in and they're like,
Speaker 1: they drop it. Yeah, Disney is all about keeping them yeah.
Speaker 1: Um but yeah, but but to go the tangent that
Speaker 1: I was gonna do is so the the actual to
Speaker 1: to be friends of princesses. It's actually a pretty intense regimen,
Speaker 1: one that they kind of were called out for because
Speaker 1: they use a like a outline like you have to
Speaker 1: have the shape of a face, you have to have
Speaker 1: like like so it's very like you just it isn't
Speaker 1: isn't like how good are you? Like know, how much
Speaker 1: do you look like this cartoon character? And you have
Speaker 1: to be tall like for the lion king stuff, like
Speaker 1: they are actually on stilts. It's very very intense. But
Speaker 1: but you are, like, in the hierarchy of cast members,
Speaker 1: you're the coolest person. So I will let you know, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a big deal if like you get to talk
Speaker 1: to someone who's a friend of a princess. The coolest
Speaker 1: person to me was the people that worked Indiana Jones
Speaker 1: because they got to work underground and where those cool hats.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no that that was also so the under
Speaker 1: that the hierarchy backstage, at least for me and kind
Speaker 1: of everywhere, was based on two things. How cool the
Speaker 1: costume was and how cool the ride was. So I
Speaker 1: worked Intomorland, I worked for Hista Honey, I Shrunk the
Speaker 1: Audience and Astro Orbit, which okay, even though like I
Speaker 1: did learn to appreciate I hate. I was really mad
Speaker 1: when I got it, and by the end of it,
Speaker 1: I loved it. I was the one who knew Captain
Speaker 1: Neo was coming back way before because in my original tour,
Speaker 1: they're like, we still have the film for Captain EO
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, y'all are just gonna play
Speaker 1: it when he dies and they're like, you don't know,
Speaker 1: and that's exactly what they um. Yeah. So, but so
Speaker 1: the coolest Intomorrowland was um was Space Mountain because this
Speaker 1: one Space Mountain slaps. It is the hardest, it's the cool.
Speaker 1: But then they also had the outfit they were only
Speaker 1: dethrown because this is how long ago worked when this
Speaker 1: Finding Nemo ride came because that outfit slapped. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: I know a few people who still kept their costumes
Speaker 1: after they left, which you know, no one would want
Speaker 1: to say that on air because you know, just in
Speaker 1: case Papa Disney would want to. But if you're not
Speaker 1: coming back, well no, So you you scan them when
Speaker 1: you check them, so there's a big costuming area backstage,
Speaker 1: and so you scan them out so they're attached to you,
Speaker 1: but you can take them home and like, but what
Speaker 1: was cool is since you don't wash them, you just
Speaker 1: bring them back and they scan them in and they'll
Speaker 1: wash them and they'll give you a new clean pair.
Speaker 1: But like you still take them home. So if you
Speaker 1: were like let go or if you quit, you know,
Speaker 1: they they'll be like, hey can you please, They'll send
Speaker 1: you a letter like hey, run those back to us,
Speaker 1: and you can do that or not. Your prerogative. So
Speaker 1: speaking of just a theme park, say we're talking of
Speaker 1: talking about hierarchies of like you know which group had
Speaker 1: like the better area. Essentially, if you're looking at um
Speaker 1: for the cast members who work on the rides and stuff.
Speaker 1: So now with Galaxy's Edge open and all the people
Speaker 1: in costume there that work on are they the top?
Speaker 1: Hands down your cool? Galaxies Edge just probably ruined backstage
Speaker 1: culture because everyone probably ran. But looking at how intense
Speaker 1: Galaxies Edges that might be, so certain things that require
Speaker 1: a lot of acting um will be casted in the
Speaker 1: same way that they do princesses. So like, for example,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember interventions which turned into
Speaker 1: that that was not a regular castmer. You were casted
Speaker 1: at interventionals because you were constantly performing. So I imagine
Speaker 1: Galaxy's Edge is probably not even regular cast members, Like
Speaker 1: they might have a few for some of the like
Speaker 1: uh storefront type things, but I if if I had
Speaker 1: to guess, I think they were casted because there's so
Speaker 1: much uh um, what what what guest interaction? Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: very immersive. I can't even ask for the bathroom regularly
Speaker 1: have to say uhs, like the refresher or something, what
Speaker 1: is that powder? Yeah, that's your Disney minute or two
Speaker 1: or five. I just wanted to follow up with one
Speaker 1: final quote from Molo, who said, this is very kind
Speaker 1: of what we were talking about, how they weren't sure
Speaker 1: about Star Wars being anything. He said, quote, you have
Speaker 1: to remember that Star Wars was a one off. At
Speaker 1: the time it was made. It was all quite new
Speaker 1: to us, and we were working in the dark with
Speaker 1: not much time and a relatively low budget. When it
Speaker 1: came to an end, most of us thought the film
Speaker 1: would never be shown. So it's great success came as
Speaker 1: a real shock. That's amazing thinking making this movie and
Speaker 1: look what it's blown up. I feel like all of
Speaker 1: us in Hollywood have like worked on something where like, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is not and this is never going to be anything.
Speaker 1: Like when you're in the heat of it, it's like
Speaker 1: this is falling apart, this per Oh my gosh, someone's
Speaker 1: coffee cup is in the middle of near denars Um. Yeah.
Speaker 1: In my in my experience, it's always the thing you
Speaker 1: least expect that like will blow up in in a way.
Speaker 1: And like, you know, while I'm you know, thankful for
Speaker 1: everything I get to do in this industry, if no
Speaker 1: one's ever excited about the thing you want to be
Speaker 1: known for. It's always some other thing where you're like,
Speaker 1: you're this thing. I'm like, yeah, I did that, but
Speaker 1: I did some mother cooler stuffy're like, I know, I
Speaker 1: know that I know you from this, so this is
Speaker 1: what I'm shouting out. It's like, all right, cool, coo
Speaker 1: coo coo cool. I'm so thankful to be in Ralph,
Speaker 1: But to be honest, I'm really tired of being Ralph
Speaker 1: breaks the Internet Danny Fernandez. When my HBO thing got announced,
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, I do. I have a lot of
Speaker 1: other things, y'all you Ralph. I mean, that's all they did.
Speaker 1: When my show got announced, I was like, Okay, yes
Speaker 1: they did, and now my pirst release can say something new.
Speaker 1: Um So Molo actually did not return for the final
Speaker 1: film and the trilogy. Lucas actually hired Aggie Garod Rogers.
Speaker 1: She worked on the color purple for the job. The
Speaker 1: two previously worked together on his future film debut, American Graffiti. However,
Speaker 1: Star Wars super fans will note two names in the
Speaker 1: credits of Return of the Jedi. Rogers shared credit for
Speaker 1: the costume design with Nilo Roddis Jamarro, who worked as
Speaker 1: the film storyboard artist. Something that happened in Return of
Speaker 1: the Jedi was Leah's bikini, which is very controversial to
Speaker 1: this day. It was rumored to be inspired by the
Speaker 1: art of Frank Franzetta. The costume caused a lot of controversy,
Speaker 1: as I said, um, and uh, you know, had some
Speaker 1: I don't even know what I'm trying. Carrie Fisher, I
Speaker 1: think was mixed about it. But um, Tino, you said
Speaker 1: that you knew you've had to make this costume a
Speaker 1: bunch exactly. Yeah, I mean it's always a fan favorite
Speaker 1: for both men and women. One of the things I
Speaker 1: thought was probably the most interesting was what I like
Speaker 1: to call a little time capsule event Um. The original
Speaker 1: costume was shinned off. I believe it was back in
Speaker 1: two thousand fifteen, and for a while the purchaser was anonymous.
Speaker 1: No one knew where it went. Then it turned out
Speaker 1: a gentleman named Gus Lopez, who lives in Seattle runs
Speaker 1: his own little like Star Wars museum. He came forward
Speaker 1: and he said, yep, that was me. I bought it.
Speaker 1: You guys can come see it. But what was neat
Speaker 1: was when Lucasfilm actually shipped it to him it was
Speaker 1: in this giant crate and he didn't expect that. He
Speaker 1: just thought it was going to be the costume itself.
Speaker 1: When they opened it up, there were original sculpts that
Speaker 1: they did, there were the castings, there was even uh,
Speaker 1: all these pictures that they had done with costume tests
Speaker 1: with Carrie Fisher, even her measurements were in there. So
Speaker 1: I was like, that's nuts. And I actually had found
Speaker 1: an article about that when I was doing research to
Speaker 1: build my own yea for me to wear mold of
Speaker 1: of Carrie Fisher's bits, Like, I think that should you're
Speaker 1: getting her booty in her her up stairs and or downstairs,
Speaker 1: you you should get that should cost more money. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, it's so interesting because it this is like
Speaker 1: such a controversial outfit because I mean there's like an
Speaker 1: element to it where like up until this point in
Speaker 1: Star Wars, it still was kind of walking that line
Speaker 1: that I was kind of for kids, and it does
Speaker 1: take like a way too hot turn. And I think also, yeah,
Speaker 1: the one thing I think actors love to know good
Speaker 1: and well long ahead of time if they're going to
Speaker 1: be in a skimpy outfit or shirtless or nude, because
Speaker 1: you know. Uh. Carry was quoted saying things like, you know,
Speaker 1: um Lucas would show her sketches into to frighten her
Speaker 1: into exercise, and she uh and she said she thinks
Speaker 1: you know and uh and she said he succeeded because
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, I'm gonna be in this outfit. But
Speaker 1: it is like in a in a weird way, even
Speaker 1: though it's kind of infamous, it turns out to be
Speaker 1: iconic too. And the Frank Frazetta it definitely like I
Speaker 1: remember Frank Fraze at it because I took a drawing
Speaker 1: class in high school and the like first drawing he
Speaker 1: had us do was a Frank Rosetta drawing and it
Speaker 1: was kind of like similar, like he did a lot
Speaker 1: of like scantily clad women doing tough stuff. I was like,
Speaker 1: I feel like, this is weird to have your high
Speaker 1: school students doing this, but okay, but like once I
Speaker 1: found out Frank Frenzetta is like a phenomenal artist. I
Speaker 1: also want to say, before anyone writes me, I know
Speaker 1: that like, uh, Kerry actually enjoyed a lot she you know,
Speaker 1: she was able to kind of poke fun at the
Speaker 1: bikini quite a bit. And I think that she always
Speaker 1: had a really good response. I can't remember I read
Speaker 1: I've read several of her books, but I know that
Speaker 1: when people would get mad about it, and she was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: and then look what I did, I like killed him,
Speaker 1: you know, and it was like so legendary, like iconic,
Speaker 1: that kind of like I took the power back. So yeah,
Speaker 1: she always had a really good response on her neck. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she always had a really good response about it. I
Speaker 1: feel like that's one of the most icon next Star
Speaker 1: Wars looks because you you know, fast forward to today,
Speaker 1: at every you will never not see a slave laya
Speaker 1: in some sort of into iteration at any convention or
Speaker 1: Star Wars events, and and now people go crazy with
Speaker 1: it because they kind of like mixed. And then we
Speaker 1: were talking about Disney bound um off Mike, and you know,
Speaker 1: I'm starting to see those mixtures together, like a Disney
Speaker 1: Princess or something mixed with a slave layer, and I
Speaker 1: think that's just so interesting for the fans to kind
Speaker 1: of combine their loves of Star Wars and other fandoms
Speaker 1: into one single costume. I remember there was talked to
Speaker 1: for a while where I think it was shortly after
Speaker 1: the Disney's acquisition of lucasfilm that they said they were
Speaker 1: going to stop making anything that was merchandise related to
Speaker 1: Slave La. I don't even know if they fully committed
Speaker 1: to that, but it's it's interesting to see that at
Speaker 1: least far as fans go, Like in cosplay, they went haywire,
Speaker 1: were they were like, Nope, We're still gonna wear We're
Speaker 1: still going to be proud of it. Oh that means
Speaker 1: I need to get a scene with Mando, just like
Speaker 1: you know, if you if that exition this world where
Speaker 1: people can be, you know, half naked, I got. I
Speaker 1: got some requests aside from what's his name with his
Speaker 1: nipples out Kylo Kaylo, my god, the nipples that launched
Speaker 1: a thousand memes. I love Kylo. I'll never forget. We
Speaker 1: just take a really quick break and then we're going
Speaker 1: to pop back in to more of the costumes and
Speaker 1: fashion of Star Wars. Right after this we are back.
Speaker 1: We're still talking about the fashion and costumes of Star Wars.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the Red Guards because they
Speaker 1: look cool as heck. Um, So, Tina, you kind of
Speaker 1: know what they were inspired by. So Lucas used to
Speaker 1: actually race hot rods back when he was younger, he
Speaker 1: actually got into a kind of an accident and that
Speaker 1: kind of ended his passion for that and then that's
Speaker 1: kind of when he got more into filmmaking. But I
Speaker 1: remember reading that the design for the Red Guards was
Speaker 1: actually inspired by his past love for race car driving.
Speaker 1: It's kind of the hot rod that's why it's got
Speaker 1: the hot rod red. Their look kind of got updated, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they did. And when when I first saw them at
Speaker 1: um in the Last Jedi, I immediately felt, oh my god,
Speaker 1: these are like the updated version. They got to glow
Speaker 1: up a little bit because in the in the original
Speaker 1: one for the Return of the Jedi, when we first
Speaker 1: saw them, like they look cool, you know, again a
Speaker 1: single color solid, different textures, you know, different different formats
Speaker 1: and like a little bit shine in the masks. But
Speaker 1: it's kind of like a head on a cape. And
Speaker 1: I felt like they didn't really have mobility. No, definitely
Speaker 1: not in the Last Jedi specifically, they were given this
Speaker 1: huge stunt choreography um Pod fight along with Kylo and Ray,
Speaker 1: so the costume in the updated version, and I know
Speaker 1: they're not the same guards and Imperial Guards versus. How
Speaker 1: do you say the name of the nuance again, thank you.
Speaker 1: And so I know they're not the same, but I
Speaker 1: love that they kept the red and it went with
Speaker 1: the theme with the Throne room and they got all
Speaker 1: the mobilities except that when I was watching the movie,
Speaker 1: I'm like, how can they fight? They couldn't see and
Speaker 1: they have this like one tiny slit. And I think
Speaker 1: I read somewhere that they said that they could see well.
Speaker 1: That the sentence was something like they could see well
Speaker 1: because there was a tiny slit, And I thought, this cog.
Speaker 1: This person may not have like spend a day inside
Speaker 1: that because it's I felt like you you only had
Speaker 1: front version vision. You didn't have any peripherals. So you
Speaker 1: have to really trust your stud they're trained. Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1: So Michael Kaplan is the one who helped make those.
Speaker 1: He is from Blade Runner, but he also is responsible
Speaker 1: for the pants tingling dance costumes of Flash Dance Equally
Speaker 1: Sexy leather wearing Brad Pitt and Fight Club. This man
Speaker 1: knows how to tight suits, both figurative and both figuratively
Speaker 1: and literally. Um So he said that he didn't want
Speaker 1: to reinvent Star Wars. He wanted to embrace it and
Speaker 1: update it. Uh. So for these new Guards, he built
Speaker 1: off of the Imperial Guards. The classic car Vibe. As
Speaker 1: Tina was saying, he said, quote, we looked at nineteen
Speaker 1: fifties muscle cars. The costumes had to be on stuntmen
Speaker 1: who were fighting very hard. They use weapons, and they
Speaker 1: need to have complete range of motion. And if these
Speaker 1: guys fall, you don't want the armor cracking. And the
Speaker 1: helmets look like they have no way of seeing, which
Speaker 1: is what you were saying, Wendy. But there's actually tiny
Speaker 1: slits and they can see out perfectly well, Wendy. They're
Speaker 1: very Samurai, very Japanese, but very clean, very star Wars.
Speaker 1: I want to try one on, and I want to
Speaker 1: see they look at Dopez. Heck, I want to see
Speaker 1: more people, cause planes is that I remember when I
Speaker 1: first saw that. That was my first thought was, I
Speaker 1: hope no one asked me to build this because it
Speaker 1: looks really hard. No, not yet, not yet. Knock on wood. Oh,
Speaker 1: they're sleek as heck though they're gorgeous. Love them. So.
Speaker 1: The costume in the Rise of Skywalkers, specifically with some
Speaker 1: of the the planet that they go to, which is
Speaker 1: George Jordania. I believe it was pronounced. Yeah, it's it's
Speaker 1: another desert planet. Seems to be a lot of those
Speaker 1: in Star Wars. But no, um, you got ice and
Speaker 1: you get desert. That's it. That's it. That's why uh
Speaker 1: end our such prime location. Yeah true, but no, that
Speaker 1: that celebration scene that they that the main characters that
Speaker 1: Ray and Poe and Finn wandered into. For me, that
Speaker 1: was gorgeous. It was It's been a long time since
Speaker 1: we had a scene. For me, that was the New Cantina.
Speaker 1: When you walk into the Cantina, that's when you as
Speaker 1: an audience, you're like, this is a completely different world
Speaker 1: that I just walked into and you see all the
Speaker 1: different aliens. That was the Jordan desert scene. Was that
Speaker 1: for me, And it was so gorgeous and it felt
Speaker 1: like something that was It was almost like if you
Speaker 1: had wandered in and your national geographic and you were
Speaker 1: just like witnessing a ritual going on. It was beautiful
Speaker 1: when I know that you've been dying to dive back
Speaker 1: into pad May. Yeah, because she had so many I mean,
Speaker 1: the girl is like she's like Lady Gaga. She comes
Speaker 1: out in different she has like a different outfit for
Speaker 1: each thing she really does. And it's funny because when
Speaker 1: so for production, when they first started, it was agreed
Speaker 1: upon that she would only have three outfits, and eventually
Speaker 1: George decided that every time pad Myyamadala was on screen,
Speaker 1: she was going to be in a different outleve it
Speaker 1: just like Gaga. It's like, how many costumes do you want?
Speaker 1: And he said, yes, so I just have to. She
Speaker 1: became for me this like icon, this fashion icon fashionista
Speaker 1: of the Star Wars and a lot of her costumes
Speaker 1: it went from everywhere from kind of the earthier tones
Speaker 1: being in all white and like that jumps through the
Speaker 1: battle suit that she has too, something that's so elaborate
Speaker 1: in you know, draped with ribbons and hand stitch embroideries,
Speaker 1: hand beat it. A lot of the stuff that I
Speaker 1: read that we're hand stitch, hand died, hand beat it.
Speaker 1: And I just can't think of how many hours the
Speaker 1: costume team had to put, um, you know, into her costumes.
Speaker 1: And a lot of it was gravity defying. A lot
Speaker 1: of this stuff was very stiff, and I'm like, how
Speaker 1: do they make that? And you have to make sure
Speaker 1: that it's durable? It can you know, baby she's able
Speaker 1: to wear it for many days, maybe through sitting, standing,
Speaker 1: whatever scene she's got to do. And I think oftentimes
Speaker 1: in movies they make multiple pieces, a duplicate so you
Speaker 1: can wear it, and sometimes they make a lighter version
Speaker 1: of it so you can wear it so it's you know,
Speaker 1: if you're in the desert, so we can still breathing,
Speaker 1: You're not gonna faint. So I just have to say, like,
Speaker 1: props to the design team, and props and headie Foreman
Speaker 1: from putting up with a lot of these outfits. I
Speaker 1: loved a lot of them, Like the lake dress, I said,
Speaker 1: is one of my favorite ones. And I think some
Speaker 1: of the iconic ones is her white jump suit when
Speaker 1: she was battling. And then we have ones like that
Speaker 1: bondage like black dress that I A, yeah, I was
Speaker 1: like is she wearing? And I just didn't expect, I
Speaker 1: guess a senator to be wearing this like black almost
Speaker 1: assist type looking outfit. And it was really stiff and
Speaker 1: I felt like she couldn't walk like she did one
Speaker 1: of those like do do do tiny snuffs? What's neat
Speaker 1: about that dress is if you look carefully all along
Speaker 1: their her collar a line there are feathers. There's all
Speaker 1: these dark feathers you know that uh point downward and
Speaker 1: it was almost mass because of the lighting. But it's
Speaker 1: there and it's really gorgeous. Wow. Yeah. But pad May
Speaker 1: to pad May is like my o G girl for
Speaker 1: Star Wars fashion and just everything she wore I loved,
Speaker 1: except for that one dress. I think Carry Fisher used
Speaker 1: to make jokes all the time about pad May's costumes.
Speaker 1: She would I'm gonna paraphrase, but I think she would
Speaker 1: say something along the lines of and then this new
Speaker 1: girl shows up and every time she walks through a door,
Speaker 1: she's got a new outfit. No, it's true, It's so true.
Speaker 1: It was. I felt like it was sometimes a little
Speaker 1: too many, but also as a girl who loves fashion,
Speaker 1: I loved it. Never too many, never too many. Um,
Speaker 1: there are so many things that we could cover, y'all.
Speaker 1: We just we just glazed the surface, grazed. I'm like, thin,
Speaker 1: what are all the G words I can think of? Um,
Speaker 1: we'll have to do another episode on just the fashion,
Speaker 1: Like see when we're trying when we were trying to
Speaker 1: tackle Star Wars, where like we can break this up
Speaker 1: until we'll do one episode on the Planets and one
Speaker 1: on the fashion, and then it's like, oh, I guess
Speaker 1: we could have done five hours on fashion and yeah,
Speaker 1: so let us know what your favorite costume is. Um again,
Speaker 1: I like the low key Oscar Isaac's. This is just
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna throw in this quote from uh Kaplan,
Speaker 1: who said, for Oscar Isaac's character, po damn right. I
Speaker 1: was thinking of him as a nineteen thirties romantic, swashbuckling hero.
Speaker 1: I looked at Gene Kelly, who have the same physicality
Speaker 1: and chrisma as Oscar, and was in a few movies
Speaker 1: where he played a swashbuckler. One is the Pirate. He
Speaker 1: does seem very swashbuckling. Also, like some of their legs straps.
Speaker 1: Are they necessary? I don't know. Are they hot? Yes? Yes? Please?
Speaker 1: Doesn't need to be necessary? Do they don't do anything?
Speaker 1: I would just have them attached to pouches that are empty.
Speaker 1: Just because they write all the pouches they have makes
Speaker 1: me want a pouch. But anyways, tweeted us, let us
Speaker 1: know your favorite costume. There are so many we will
