Was it 244 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: weird when someone showed you your own action figure? Yeah? 245 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 2: So, actually, a guy who ended up becoming a really 246 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 2: good friend and someone that I worked with over the years, 247 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 2: brought me the first one at a convention. It was 248 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 2: in like maybe it was two thousand and nine or 249 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 2: ten or something, and I knew that there was an 250 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 2: action figure out there, but it was really rare. And 251 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 2: so he came up to my table at this one 252 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 2: of these conventions and was like, look your action figure, 253 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 2: and he gave it to me. And then he was 254 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 2: actually doing had some kind of high up position at 255 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,439 Speaker 2: a college in Oregon, and he ended up hiring me 256 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 2: year after year to come back and perform and host 257 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 2: these like Star Wars panels and oh what it look great? 258 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: Bitch. Yeah, So this is a question I've wondered about 259 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 1: the Star Wars world, So full disclosure. When when I 260 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: knew we were doing this pod, I quickly downloaded Disney 261 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: Plus my friend I binged the whole series. But then 262 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,319 Speaker 1: I went back and started watching the original episodes as Wow. 263 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, so white a lot that's I know, but 264 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 2: it's amazing. 265 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: It's amazing if you love story theory, and I just 266 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: think it's like such a fun world. That is there 267 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: any part of you that feels such overwhelmed to be 268 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: part of this like whole different ecosystem that is Star Wars. 269 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, And so when I first got the role, 270 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 2: I didn't understand what that was at all, so I 271 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 2: was kind of naive about it. Yeah, and then I 272 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 2: went to a convention, my first one, and I was like. 273 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, this is like a whole scene beast right. 274 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, And now I would say I'm kind of used 275 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 2: to it because I've been to so many conventions that 276 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 2: I've spent so much much time with the fans that 277 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 2: it's kind of sunk in. But sometimes it still is 278 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 2: a bit overwhelming. And you know, Obi Wan is kind 279 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 2: of a different scale too, So I definitely was a 280 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 2: little nervous. Memes of you, I know, there's literal memes 281 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 2: of you now have been great. So I really enjoyed that. 282 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: A friend of mine, a fellow actor friend of mine, 283 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: shout out to Thomas basically he's a super mega Star 284 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,959 Speaker 1: Wars fan. He's three questions. 285 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 2: For you, great, bring it on? 286 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: Okay, So yeah, way nerdier than me and the Star Wars. Okay, 287 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: three questions. First one was the set on tattoo How 288 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 1: do I say. 289 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 2: That word Tatooine. 290 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 1: Tatooine laid out or built differently compared to last time, Like, 291 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 1: what were the differences? 292 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, so in episode two, well, episode three was just 293 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 2: a green screen, yes, and pretty much like George Lucas said, Okay, 294 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 2: look at that broomstick and imagine you're seeing the most 295 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 2: amazing sunset. So that was that was episode three. 296 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: Isn't it sad? It is a little bit weird? 297 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, And Joel Edgerson wasn't even there and we were hugging, 298 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 2: so he filmed his part like months later in Ireland. 299 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 2: They had a stand in and a fake baby. 300 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 1: That was all. 301 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 2: It was all kind of pieced together. Episode two was 302 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 2: different because we were actually on the Sahara and they 303 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 2: had built actually they were at the we were at 304 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 2: the original sets, so that would felt very real. 305 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 1: That would mean so much fun. 306 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, super iconic. And then so this one, obi Wan 307 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 2: I would say it was kind of a like part 308 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 2: of it felt really real. And the technology that they 309 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 2: used the volume is this whole kind of screen thing 310 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 2: where it's there's all these moving parts and it feels 311 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 2: like you're actually in the scene. So it's like cool, 312 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 2: not quite a green screen because it's actually interactive so you. 313 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: Can fully kind of immerse. Yeah, but it feels very 314 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: like New Age and Now as well as half sets 315 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: as well. So it's and was the location that set 316 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: like it was at the same location. 317 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 2: No, this was all shot around la Oh really yeah? 318 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: Oh how cool? 319 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 2: Yeah? 320 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: I love all this speech. 321 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 2: Yes, okay, so originally it was like Tunisian Yes, yes. 322 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: Yes, got it? Okay. Question number two, What was it 323 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: like working with Joel I've heard his a legend. 324 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 2: He is a legend another Aussie right, yeah, yeah and 325 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 2: total legend. I mean his career has just been like 326 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 2: since we filmed Star Wars originally, it's just gone up 327 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 2: and up and up and up. 328 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: I love his voice. I like the cadence of his voices, 329 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: like this real like, yeah, he's in a new movie 330 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: coming out about the Was it in Thailand where the 331 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: kids got trapped under the cave? Oh? 332 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 2: I don't know. 333 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: Oh, there was you would I think you were in 334 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: Portugal days, this would have been. But like thirteen kids 335 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: got trapped and they thought they'd never be rescued, probably 336 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: three or between three and five years ago, and they 337 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: bought the best, like Seal Navy seal.
