Honestly its really refreshing to watch Jack interview these directors because i cant stand watching these interviewers with their terrible "would you rather" type "fun" questions because Im not learning any insight about how the movie was made or what thought was going into it. I think theres so much value watching an up and coming film maker asking curious and actual questions to a huge/renowned filmmaker. Basically ive been a fan of you Jack for a really long time and thank you for giving us these super valuable and interesting interviews!!
J.C. L. Lmfao I mean okay?? He's still a film maker he still has really good insight as to how the film was made. Even if you didn't like the movie, most directors and actors have shitty movies they're apart of. Making a star Wars movie you didn't like isn't grounds for banishment from his career..
Kerra7, No, he does not. When you write something for a character, it has to be something that character would do, if you do it differently, then its another character and it does not matter if you use the same actor. Rian Johnson IS a bad writer, the moment he gave the Brick teens such complicated dialogs, tells you he does not know what he is doing. People praise Brick because is over pretentious without realizing teenagers do not talk like that. His movies look good but thats not him, is the CINEMATOGRAPHER.
I love how you ask interesting, new and somewhat deep questions and how the people you interview seem to appreciate it. They always seem relaxed, like they're having a conversation with an equal. It's so fresh and cool to watch, Jack. If you ever get tired of making films (ha, like that could happen), just know that you can just do this and you will have a big and grateful audience. Thanks for what you do! Btw, Rian's esses are so sharped and high-pitched I had to take my headphones off. lol
I don't think Rian Johnson has ever touched a woman by the way he sits crushing his testicles. Looks like a weak guy, which is easy for big ego bosses like Kathleen Kennedy to manage, which translates in a bad movie if he does everything she asks for. Which was ultimately what happened, regardless of him saying he wrote the movie he wanted.
J.C. L. dude. Although I don’t agree with you I understand the criticism that the Canto Bight scenes were a lil bit ‘prequely’. But where else ? This level you speak of. Where was it ? Not hating, just saying.
I just love how in the first 20 seconds he’s already getting comfortable. I especially loved how real and not cheesy the whole thing was, there wasn’t fake laughing or painful smiling, it was just two creators talking. So thank you. Also, I’ve watched 1 Star Wars movie and I’m about to go watch all of them in prep for this movie after really seeing who’s behind it.

Choreography, really..? They even montage a dagger out of the hand of one of the red troopers. Just because Daisy here could get it right. - Simply atrocious.
I'm not a film maker. I don't want to be a film maker. Yet somehow, I always find myself so excited for these videos and fascinated by the conversations and the processes. Thanks for opening up this whole new world, and making it so accessible and easy to understand!
Full disclosure I think rian is the coolest dude ever. And before I get a bunch of stupid spam and hate comments, I have one thing to say "Sorry that a MOVIE ruined everything you loved as a child" clearly star wars is only about bloodlines and over the top physical training. It's not spiritual or emotional at all
This is probably the best Rian Johnson interview on the film yet. After seeing The Last Jedi, I can't agree with it "feeling like Star Wars" as he puts it, but his perspective is so fascinating.
just wanted to say thanks for this series. Started watching you through jack and dean but this series where you interview or generally talk about films is quickly becoming one of my favorites on the internet. While I don't have a passion for film, your passion seems so genuine that I can't help but be enthralled about the topic almost through you, if that makes sense. Anyway, thank you and please keep going.
Jack, you have such a fantastic way of allowing the interviewee to talk and say what they have to say while also maintaining a wonderful conversational tone. It's an absolute pleasure to watch.
Ben V I saw it. I enjoyed it. Sure I wanted it to be better. But it really didn’t ruin the hype I had. I’m very thankful Disney are great of hyping you up. It makes you so happy. Almost as it doesn’t matter if the movie is bad.
This is a wonderful interview. Indeed, all of yours are. Rian seems lovely and honest and interesting. This comment will get lost amidst the sea of others, but I echo the current - you're way better at this interview thing than most journalists, you ask better questions, and you come across as more human (as opposed to droid). I look forward to the next director you get to speak to!
This was a really calming video in a way. Like that bit in the beginning where both of you kinda say about how writing is the worst part was like really therapeutic to hear for some reason, as an aspiring 'writer of things i want to make' (is what i'm calling that apparently), i had this like internal fear that there was something wrong with me since i dont enjoy the act of writing the way i used to when i was a kid, (which got me started in this mess) but still have the drive to want to make things and i was like having this mental conflict where i was thinking maybe i'm just not cut out for this. But to hearing someone who's work I've enjoyed and admired for years and someone who is, in my eyes, reached the pinnacle of success (like he made a bleedin star wars movie) like this really made me feel a sort of relief in an odd way. did a little sigh, like i was letting out a breath i didn't know i was holdin. asmr for the soul. emotions and such. also big mood on the presenting a notebook thing, i felt like a real idiot turning in my first script writing assignment on two blocks of sticky notes and a two pound notebook that was falling part.. ... this is a real good video man. Rian is a vr chill dude.
I just realized this now, But I love how after you say how you're not a critic and a creator on the internet Rians body language changes from being closed to being open like he was really engaged with this whole interview and conversation, you're such a great interviewer Jack!
A few things: 1. Thank you Jack for such an interesting interview from a filmmakers' perspective 2. I found myself smiling just as much as you were every time Rian said a single word 3. I trust Rian Johnson
Yes boi. Loved it. I reckon it's so refreshing for movie folk to have interviews like this at the moment, interviewers that have actually done their research and have insightful questions to ask, I find movie interviews so difficult to watch at the moment. it really shows respect and you can tell they really appreciate it cos they've worked so hard and thought so hard on what they're talking about. Love these vids cheers Howard xxx
These chats are so down to earth, I think this respectful calm setting allows whoever you're interviewing to really relax and be human, you've got a real talent for this!
I love watching your interviews so much because they're honestly the most interesting. I think your passion for film projects to them and they allow themselves to relax and speak lovingly about what they create without becoming too technical, monotonous or just saying what they think people will want to hear. It's very genuine and fascinating, thank you for being a brilliant discusser.
He seems like such a lovely dude. Loved this interview so much. He didn't talk down to you or take you less seriously because you create content online and I just think that's so dope
absolutely adore this interview. not a filmmaker myself but am interested in writing so some things rian said do resonate with me. and as a fan of films altogether it’s very interesting to hear a director’s perspective. props to you too; the interview is so laid back but questions asked are still informative and insightful. hope you’d get more chances to do this kind of thing jack - truly well deserved.
I'm not interested in film maker or even films really but I adore story telling and I find Jacks interviews amazing. They're so useful for learning more and I love how he is so so honestly, just like, I'm here to steal ideas from you. Thank you for this interview style
Great interview Jack, he seemed really comfortable with you too! As for the film, people really need to understand that the reaction to ESB back in 1980 was equally divisive. We will see if this stands the test of time or not. I personally enjoyed it with some reservations, but the main themes of it hit home for me.
RoaryUK, nope, TESB absolutely WAS divisive with fans back in the day. It's all there in newsletters and SF mags like Starlog - fans were getting into some very heated fights in the articles and letters sections. A huge percentage of the fanbase found it empty, nihilistic and a betrayal of the previous film.
No it wasn't and not in the slightest. The only people who had issues with it were the critics and even then they were split. Some fans had a few minor complaints, that happens, but by and large most people loved it, fact!!
to add to the mass of praise in the comments: i love these videos and they always remind me why i want to make films. i find it so easy to get lost in the sea of life and uni and whatever else but this series of videos always brings me back down to earth and i can remember why films are so great. so, thank you also, these videos are always weirdly calming??? how???
And unfortunately lots of youtubers have sort of twisted this story with him to make him out to be a hypocritical asshole. And I believed that until recently, the dude is pretty great.
Fantastic job with this interview. So educational, insightful, and all around interesting while having that casual conversation feel to it. That's always what you should be aiming for in an interview. Also, so much within only 15 mins., wow!
Rian Johnson actually seems like a really nice person. Its a shame TLJ didn't reach up to it's expectations. I enjoyed it by all means but I just wish Luke's character made a bit more sense, Snoke wasn't wasted and there was a reason Rey was so strong (not because we have to give the woman special treatment because if you don't your a sexist). But Im sick of the hate Johnson is getting. The guy tried his best, making a movie is no easy job. People hated TFA for being too like ANH but are now complaining about TLJ for being to different? Make up your minds people! Plus Episode 9 is yet to come out so ut's to early to judge. I think the movie could have been a lot better but if you believe Johnson wanted to upset Star Wars fans, your an idiot. As Hamill said, its only a movie. I want to thank Johnson for trying to give us a good movie and tell him to ignore the 9 year olds sending him death threats.
Sean Corcoran He publicly admitted he would try to get a female director to helm one of the movies from that "new trilogy" of his that wlll likely never see the light of day. Already _after_ the fan backlash which should have proven to him beyond any doubt that focusing on social justice long before the movie you're making actually starts resembling anything good is the wrong way to go about this. Apparently, he didn't learn his lesson and still has the compulsive need to feel good about himself, in spite of the piece of shit that he has just pushed out.
Most powerful Jedi, died with no lightsaber, big bad sith guy, no lightsaber fight. Two people with lightsabers fight people without lightsabers. It’s like he was trying to piss people off.
Jack is such an amazingly charming interviewer! Kudos! It felt so cathartic as someone who's dealing with severe writers' block for the first time to hear a successful writer-director say that writing is always horrible for everyone. Misery loves company, I guess.
Very clever questions, particularly about the creative process. I imagine Chris Nolan, Gareth Edwards, and Rian Johnson spend their post-press day downtime checking out Jack and Dean sketches (hopefully!).
I'm far from being a passionate Star Wars fan. But fuck me this is still fascinating, especially talking about writing and the transition (or lack thereof) from small films to big scale studio films like this. Thoughtful interview by Jack and top notch responses and general discussion from Johnson
Is his trilogy even still gonna happen? It's been 4 years and I haven't heard about it since, all i've heard is that it's still gonna happen at some point!
This is a bloody fantastic video, Rian seems like a lovely guy and Jack is always so poised and articulate in these interviews, fantastic interesting stuff!
I adore these and have shamefully never seen star wars *hides in the corner* but i am determined to watch them over christmas so i can go and see the new one👍🏻
What about that descriptor is unclear? I mean those 'fans' who have only watched the movies, instead of those who have also engaged with the books, games, comics, etc.
I'd really like to see a full review/discussion of the film on this channel. I enjoy hearing your opinions on films but honestly, I can't understand how anyone could give a positive review of this one. Having just got back from a midnight screening I can easily say that as a fan of star wars this film takes all the gravitas and emotion in the franchise and ruins it in an attempt to add ill timed jokes and punchlines that aren't appropriate to the tone and seem to be purposely written to to make the audience feel disconnected from the story. Not one character, plot line or even action sequence is treated with an ounce of respect for the franchise, bar one or two lightsaber battles. In my opinion (and I am just a stranger on the internet) this is easy the worst star wars movie yet, but I'm genuinely interested to hear another take on it
I always get nervous whenever you mention you're a filmmaker as well bec I fear the director just straight up rolling their eyes at you or something but you just bring out the best and most eloquent versions of themselves in these interviews. The passion they have for their work comes out because they sense your genuine appreciation for film and their individual processes behind it that everyone have a great time. Keep up the good work, Jack
jesus Jack. can you be anymore amazing at interviewing. you pulled rian into your narrative and he was comfortable over there. awesome. really really enjoyed it.
Really, really wish I could find an interview that came out after the movie where the questions aren't so softball. Granted this was before the movie dropped, so it's more upbeat and positive in questioning. A-
It's odd to me to hear him say he doesn't think anyone enjoys writing, because I genuinely do. It's so hard to start sometimes and frustrates the hell out of me, but I still love writing and the writing process.
Not necessarily. Things going the way they are, Kennedy should be fired from LucasFilm by the time Solo's released and then there's gonna be a major reshuffle.
The throne room probably! I don't think he meant new characters in this specific movie but in the new trilogy, so Rey, Kylo and Snoke are three new characters that were all together in one of everybody's favourite scene... that would be my guess.

Ooohhyujmm wow okay didn't expect this amount of likes on my comment but I'm glad so many people agree with me!
All these likes and the amount of typos.... Shit...
Rian Johnson does not deserve to make another movie in his life. He downgraded Star Wars to a campy level never seen in the prequels.
J.C. L. Lmfao I mean okay?? He's still a film maker he still has really good insight as to how the film was made. Even if you didn't like the movie, most directors and actors have shitty movies they're apart of. Making a star Wars movie you didn't like isn't grounds for banishment from his career..

What a truly mental comment. AT LEAST YOU'RE A REAL MAN
Indeed I am, I don't sit crushing my eggs, if you were one, you would know.
By the way, he does not deserve to make another movie in his life. He downgraded Star Wars to a campy level never seen in the prequels.

"I especially loved how real and not cheesy the whole thing was" unlike the actual movie.
Loved this. You just sitting down and chatting on a level with filmmakers is my fav.

+J.C. L. this guy is hilarious. he just copies and pastes the same illogical dribble over and over
9:18 He's gotta be talking about the Throne Room scene. That was such a brilliant moment in the film.
Choreography, really..?
They even montage a dagger out of the hand of one of the red troopers.
Just because Daisy here could get it right. -
Simply atrocious.
just an image nobody cares
@@justanimage5012the choreography in the prequels is really bad if you psycho analyze it like the last Jedi
I'm not a film maker. I don't want to be a film maker. Yet somehow, I always find myself so excited for these videos and fascinated by the conversations and the processes. Thanks for opening up this whole new world, and making it so accessible and easy to understand!
I like the last Jedi and I make no apologies for it
Greg Williams I feel bad for you
Evdog04 I don’t give a shit what you feel for me
Greg Williams same I loved it
Full disclosure I think rian is the coolest dude ever. And before I get a bunch of stupid spam and hate comments, I have one thing to say
"Sorry that a MOVIE ruined everything you loved as a child" clearly star wars is only about bloodlines and over the top physical training. It's not spiritual or emotional at all
Rogue Guardian the last Jedi saying Rey is a nobody makes Star Wars not about bloodlines
This is probably the best Rian Johnson interview on the film yet. After seeing The Last Jedi, I can't agree with it "feeling like Star Wars" as he puts it, but his perspective is so fascinating.
That's what you end up with when random fans get to make these movies.
The "feeling" of Star Wars came from its creator. Noone else.
He is so relaxed and genuine in this video that I felt like I was in a conversation with you two around a coffee table, nice interview Jack!

Rian Johnson seems like a great guy. Wish I like episode 8 more but I was quiet dissatisfied tbh.
Jack, I want to thank you for broadening my horizons beyond actors to the whole production team. This discussion was so interesting! Great content!
Well, he seems lovely. And I am so excited for the film.
dont be it sucks
Bet your massively disappointed now and feel just as betrayed as the rest of us.
Rian Johnson is like a stereotypical woman: beautiful on the outside, inconsiderate viper on the inside...
I was SOOO excited too and it fell on its face and crashed and burned.
Ben V I saw it. I enjoyed it. Sure I wanted it to be better. But it really didn’t ruin the hype I had. I’m very thankful Disney are great of hyping you up. It makes you so happy. Almost as it doesn’t matter if the movie is bad.
Excellent interview, Jack :) Very interesting questions lead to even more interesting answers

“they are not fan fiction, but...it is fiction made by the fans.” that quote, every star wars ‘fan’ right now needs to hear
I just realized this now, But I love how after you say how you're not a critic and a creator on the internet Rians body language changes from being closed to being open like he was really engaged with this whole interview and conversation, you're such a great interviewer Jack!
A few things:

2. I found myself smiling just as much as you were every time Rian said a single word
3. I trust Rian Johnson
Zachary Atherton and he delivered!
Pliskin Snake He did indeed!
I don't understand why the rest of the internet doesn't trust Rian Johnson.
I don't either. I can't even begin to contemplate how people think he's done Star Wars an injustice
TLJ was a train wreck. Watch Disney dumping Rian for "creative differences" in a few months. Good riddance
Amazing Rian Johnson!!! Thank you for the most brilliant Star Wars movie so far!!!!
Rain Johnson is great! What a unique voice to add to this universe
Yes boi. Loved it.
I reckon it's so refreshing for movie folk to have interviews like this at the moment, interviewers that have actually done their research and have insightful questions to ask, I find movie interviews so difficult to watch at the moment. it really shows respect and you can tell they really appreciate it cos they've worked so hard and thought so hard on what they're talking about.

Amazing interview to watch as
1. a writer
2. star wars fan
Cheers mate.
These chats are so down to earth, I think this respectful calm setting allows whoever you're interviewing to really relax and be human, you've got a real talent for this!
I loveeeee watching jack’s interviews. although I enjoy watching regular interviews, it’s nice to see a filmmaker talk to a filmmaker
That was a great interview with Rian Johnson and he seems like a very nice man and chilled out.
Rian seems like an awesome , nice laid back guy to me. ley off him. looking forward to your trilorgy rian. real love from a fan. X
Lol I love how Jack introduced himself
I love watching your interviews so much because they're honestly the most interesting.

You and Hazel are just so good at this interview thing....thanks for doing this!! soo interesting!
Did Rian just “Hello there”?! 😂
TenthSgtSnipes GENERAL JOHNSON
You are a bold one
This is a great interview and so was the movie
He seems like such a lovely dude. Loved this interview so much. He didn't talk down to you or take you less seriously because you create content online and I just think that's so dope
rian just seems like the loveliest person. made such a great movie too.
you had some really interesting questions, well done. Also, Rian Johnson sounds really nice. Great content, 10/10
Great interview, Rian Johnson seems like such a nice chap; glad to see him getting success
Success that has sadly died down
Knives Out was great
You're such an inspirational man, Jack. You're a pleasure to watch, and these videos are amazing.
absolutely adore this interview. not a filmmaker myself but am interested in writing so some things rian said do resonate with me. and as a fan of films altogether it’s very interesting to hear a director’s perspective. props to you too; the interview is so laid back but questions asked are still informative and insightful. hope you’d get more chances to do this kind of thing jack - truly well deserved.
You seem so comfortable, I would be dying!
I never want these videos to stop. I love these interviews with directors.
This is probably one of my favourite interviews you’ve done. Such great advice!! ❤️
As a young film maker myself, these interviews that you have with directors are incredibly helpful and inspiring. Thank you so much Jack xo
This was a fantastic interview, probably the most interesting from him because it's from the perspective of actual filmmaking. Nice one.
I'm not interested in film maker or even films really but I adore story telling and I find Jacks interviews amazing. They're so useful for learning more and I love how he is so so honestly, just like, I'm here to steal ideas from you. Thank you for this interview style
This was so informative. Thank you for posting these sit-downs and sharing these great opportunities you are getting with us.
I am so sad that I didn't like this movie as much. I love Rian and he is an incredible filmmaker! Hopefully, I'll connect more with his trilogy.
Great interview Jack, he seemed really comfortable with you too!
As for the film, people really need to understand that the reaction to ESB back in 1980 was equally divisive. We will see if this stands the test of time or not. I personally enjoyed it with some reservations, but the main themes of it hit home for me.

RoaryUK what are you talking about? ESB received a whole lot of criticism back then. I’m not defending TLJ or undermining ESB, but it’s the truth
This has to be my favourite interview of The Last Jedi campaign. Well done Jack.
Im not a even film maker but i feel like i get so much out of these interviews. honestly, great job Jack
to add to the mass of praise in the comments: i love these videos and they always remind me why i want to make films. i find it so easy to get lost in the sea of life and uni and whatever else but this series of videos always brings me back down to earth and i can remember why films are so great. so, thank you
also, these videos are always weirdly calming??? how???
accent of the interviewer is pure gold. one of the best interview i have seen. both of these guys mind is on sync and you can feel it.
AH this is so awesome, youre so lucky Jack! Great interview!!
The Last Jedi definitely was not my favorite Star Wars film. That aside, I really like Rian Johnson. He seems really cool to just talk to.
And unfortunately lots of youtubers have sort of twisted this story with him to make him out to be a hypocritical asshole. And I believed that until recently, the dude is pretty great.
Stephen Tyree I agree. I didn’t like the movie very much, but the backlash Rian Johnson gets is absolutely absurd. He seems like a cool guy
Fantastic job with this interview. So educational, insightful, and all around interesting while having that casual conversation feel to it. That's always what you should be aiming for in an interview. Also, so much within only 15 mins., wow!

Plus the femminist problems were Kathleen Kennedy's fault not Rian
It was very well explained why she's so strong. By both Luke and especially Snoke. And it makes sense and fits with the past stories.
Sean Corcoran He publicly admitted he would try to get a female director to helm one of the movies from that "new trilogy" of his that wlll likely never see the light of day.

@@yarpen26 Because it was a good movie in his eyes, he was proud of it. It's his own creation, let him out of all people like it, jesus.
Most powerful Jedi, died with no lightsaber, big bad sith guy, no lightsaber fight. Two people with lightsabers fight people without lightsabers. It’s like he was trying to piss people off.
Great interview Jack! Especially because I'm an aspiring film maker myself. Rian seems like a very humble man. Best way to be.
I also really align with those who "never got into star wars" but still love watching this for yours and Rian's passion for it all.
That was the best Last Jedi junket interview yet! Nice work!
Rian seems nice ,I almost feel bad for being pissed off about the lousy story and character decisions he's made.
Its Kathleen's fault, she a feminist
Jack is such an amazingly charming interviewer! Kudos!
It felt so cathartic as someone who's dealing with severe writers' block for the first time to hear a successful writer-director say that writing is always horrible for everyone. Misery loves company, I guess.
Very clever questions, particularly about the creative process. I imagine Chris Nolan, Gareth Edwards, and Rian Johnson spend their post-press day downtime checking out Jack and Dean sketches (hopefully!).
I'm far from being a passionate Star Wars fan. But fuck me this is still fascinating, especially talking about writing and the transition (or lack thereof) from small films to big scale studio films like this. Thoughtful interview by Jack and top notch responses and general discussion from Johnson
Nice work Jack. A real "non-fluffy" interview with thoughtful questions and answers.
Thank you Rian Johnson for your amazing movie !
Confirmed! The last jedi was s**t because Rian Johnson was doing crossword puzzles instead of paying attention to the shooting
Luke didn't die. It was Jake Skywalker. The previously unknown triplet!
0:31 he said it he said the line!
"Anything that's not there for the story ends up falling away." ...............why the casino chase then?
Is his trilogy even still gonna happen? It's been 4 years and I haven't heard about it since, all i've heard is that it's still gonna happen at some point!
incredible interview, i really enjoyed watching this!
Fuck all the backlash. TLJ was awesome, and Rian Johnson is a great director. There i said it.
This is a bloody fantastic video, Rian seems like a lovely guy and Jack is always so poised and articulate in these interviews, fantastic interesting stuff!
I adore these and have shamefully never seen star wars *hides in the corner* but i am determined to watch them over christmas so i can go and see the new one👍🏻
I love these interviews
mate, this interview is sick. you can tell he's grateful for it too.
Star Wars fans to Rian Johnson: get out.
I wasn't including people who have only watched the movies.
What about that descriptor is unclear? I mean those 'fans' who have only watched the movies, instead of those who have also engaged with the books, games, comics, etc.
Star Wars fans to disney: noncanon (:
Saul Grant thats exactly qhars hes saying. Moron. Dont u get it u fucking bandwagoner.
books and video games are irrelevant. What matters are the movies!
You ask very interesting questions, and I always take away a lot from these interviews you do!
I'd really like to see a full review/discussion of the film on this channel. I enjoy hearing your opinions on films but honestly, I can't understand how anyone could give a positive review of this one. Having just got back from a midnight screening I can easily say that as a fan of star wars this film takes all the gravitas and emotion in the franchise and ruins it in an attempt to add ill timed jokes and punchlines that aren't appropriate to the tone and seem to be purposely written to to make the audience feel disconnected from the story. Not one character, plot line or even action sequence is treated with an ounce of respect for the franchise, bar one or two lightsaber battles. In my opinion (and I am just a stranger on the internet) this is easy the worst star wars movie yet, but I'm genuinely interested to hear another take on it
I always get nervous whenever you mention you're a filmmaker as well bec I fear the director just straight up rolling their eyes at you or something but you just bring out the best and most eloquent versions of themselves in these interviews. The passion they have for their work comes out because they sense your genuine appreciation for film and their individual processes behind it that everyone have a great time. Keep up the good work, Jack
Rian Johnson looks like a combination between young Phill Collins and David Fincher.
I guess it must have been interesting for Rian to speak to an interviewer who has made films himself.
jesus Jack. can you be anymore amazing at interviewing. you pulled rian into your narrative and he was comfortable over there. awesome. really really enjoyed it.
this is no longer star wars
Sure it is, you just don't like it.
Do you want a diaper change with that Kleenex?
did you enjoy it
Rian being so excited to make his trilogy makes me so damn sad because it isn’t happening
Really, really wish I could find an interview that came out after the movie where the questions aren't so softball. Granted this was before the movie dropped, so it's more upbeat and positive in questioning. A-
OMG, MORE OF THIS, im only 14 n always wanted to be a film maker n i feel like these vids are really going to help me, thank you
Incredible. I can't wait to see that shooting draft.
It's odd to me to hear him say he doesn't think anyone enjoys writing, because I genuinely do. It's so hard to start sometimes and frustrates the hell out of me, but I still love writing and the writing process.
This man should never be allowed near a star wars movie again. Unfortunately, Disney has decided he has more ruining to do.
Not necessarily. Things going the way they are, Kennedy should be fired from LucasFilm by the time Solo's released and then there's gonna be a major reshuffle.
Brick and Looper are masterpieces, love them so much! The Brothers Bloom is great too, love Rian Johnson
If someone else says full disclosure again, i may hurt them
This is so inspiring! I wanna go back on set now! Lets go make things!
This is such a good interview, Rian Johnson is such a clever guy
Wow.. Rian Johnson is a genius.
That was a great interview. I love how this feels like you could just be at a bar, picking a friends brain over a pint.
You did a nice job ....too bad as a writer Rian totally sucks
What was the moment? As far as I remember, there's four new characters but never a point where three of them share a scene.
The throne room probably! I don't think he meant new characters in this specific movie but in the new trilogy, so Rey, Kylo and Snoke are three new characters that were all together in one of everybody's favourite scene... that would be my guess.
