might surprise you that some actors like johnny depp cannot watch themselves on screen, so they do not know what their own films are like once they're finished
@@yoonahkang7384Yeah. A lot of them feel like they're criticizing themselves unfairly or embarrassed at something they did on screen. Emma Watson admitted to doing this whenever she watched the Harry Potter films.
I hope he calls her Peru through out the whole new series and then in the final episode she says to him, "Actually ya crazy old wizard, my name is Beru."
That was the same experience that Ian Mckellen had in The Hobbit. Playing against green screen like that made him cry because there was no spirit in it.
Then you get Samuel L. Jackson who was perfectly fine with green screen as he claims that actors need to have imagination. It's definitely not a clear cut case.
There's a scene in the hobbit where the dwarfs are gathered around a table "with" Ian. In a bts you see that everyone except Ian is around the table, Ian is by himself acting to a camera but they are linked with earplugs so they can talk and hear. And he starts having serious problems, getting sad and starts to apologize to the others. And it's so heartwarming to see his reaction when everyone reacts with essentialy "Don't be sorry, you're doing great!" etc.
@@Сайтамен LOTR used mostly practical effects for many of the shots like using camera tricks to have the actors in the same shot instead of compositing them into the same room like Glisern described. the Hobbit was mostly green-screen.
@@Сайтамен yeah plus if you think about, in lotr he often has other normal sized characters in the scene like elves and humans, so he can film with them. In the Hobbit the party is entirely dwarves and a hobbit, so they all get to film together and he’s the lonely tall one filmed with green screen.
I think it's always best for the actors to have something to react to, to immerse themselves. And I don't care what others say, I prefer the sequels to the prequels anyway. Regardless, it's all Star Wars. It's all good.
@@Argumemnon I personally love the CGI in something like Star Wars because it just makes the entire vibe of the universe a lot cooler and there’s more you can do with it. But I definitely agree that actors need stuff to react to
I think the whole practical vs CGI thing is a bit silly,. There have been some absolutely horrible practical effects over the years, and also some amazing CGI, so the insinuation that practical is infallible is totally false. Of course, when it comes to having something for the actors to respond to, a set is always preferable, but they have virtual sets now where you can see actual landscapes and places within the studio as if it were there, so that's that argument rendered moot - especially for sci-fi where things need to be a little more fantastical (maybe not so much for a small indie film set in a kitchen or something). Regardless, using practical JUST because it's practical and not the best option for the goal is stupid.
The fun thing about the "all was CGI"-complaint is that it's simply wrong. The only two scenes where everything in the background was CG are the droid factory and the talk - scene between Mace, Yoda and Obi-Wan in Episode II, and those only because they weren't in the original Script and added very late. in 90% of all other scenes, most of the buildings, scenery, landscapes, Backgrounds and Sets are Sets, Real-World locations, models or miniatures. The arena of Geonosis in the background ? Model The Hangar where Obi-Wan and Anakin fought Dooku ? Gigantic Set Most outside- and inside shots of Kamino ? Model All Landscape-shots of Mustafar aswell as the Mining-complex are taken on a model, the Lava is just real footage of Lava from Mt Etna, and all inside shots, aswell as the plattforms Anakin and Obi-Wan fight on are sets. The Mountains in the background on Aldeeran are the alps, filmed in switzerland, Theed and Naboo are all models, or real places in Italy. The underwater-landscapes in EpI are models, and remember the scene in EpIII where a bunch of wookies storm towards droids Landing on their beach ? The Wookies were real people in costumes, and the beach a model. The filmed the wookies in Front of a bluescreen, then put the model-landscape behind them. The exact same way they did it back in the OT. Both Obi-Wans and Anakin Jedi-Starfighters from the Beginning of Episode III were live-sized mock-ups, aswell as a additional Cockpit-only Set for scenes from inside. Basically every detailed background or building we saw in close - up from the outside was either a Set or a model, from Utapau to even extremely minor sceneries like Cato-Neimodia. EPIII alone had vastly more models and sets built for it than the entirety of the OT COMBINED. Wether people want to accept it or not, it's very possible that Ep III relied LESS on CG than TFA.
I absolutely agree, however seeing how little he knows, remembers or even understands of the films that made him millions, it's clear it's going to be a money job rather than something out of passion or for the fans. He doesn't even know what his character's plot was.
@@Henkibojj Yeah but honestly, how many actors really remember the plots to their movies decades later? Most probably don't sit down and watch their own stuff when it's on tv. One exception being Samuel L Jackson, he has said in interviews that he'll sit down and watch his own movies. And really, most fans would probably be able to out smart George Lucas in a Star Wars trivia game; as fans we absorb it in a way the actors and creators don't.
Giving the best performance in prequel trilogy is like catching the least bad STD. Seriously thought, Ewan was alright in the prequels. Ian McDiarmid as Palpatine was the best performance.
@@jaredeiff7220 No, in reality it's great filmmaking and a great scene. The fact that it looks so amazing is an accomplishment. Making great things on screen from SHIT on set is a wonder. Hell, they made a lot of A New Hope from scrap WWII model plane parts, shot in a parking lot. Basically, random shit. It's ALL just different shit for different eras. Hollywood is all about, and HAS BEEN all about making shit look great on screen.
I used to work on film sets and the thing that surprised me the most was how often actors are talking to someone or people in the scene but when filming they're doing their lines alone.
To be fair, originally they shot this scene on location when they were shooting in Tunisia for Episode 2. Lucas knew they will need this scene for Episode 3 but he didn't want to come back then with the crew for that one short scene. However, for reasons unknown, they couldn't use those shots in Episode 3, I guess it didn't work out the way Lucas imagined it. Obviously, they didn't travel back to Tunisia, and there was no other option than to use green screen instead.
@@SamFr1000 Yeah, maybe it was the new hairstyle. Not sure if that was a marketing choice, though. They wanted to go for a kind of Alec Guinness-ish style to bridge the AOTC Obi and the ANH Obi.
@@starlighter93 the costume was different, too! So yeah, probably because of the different looks? I'd say Ep. III had the most attention paid to continuity out of all the prequels? save for the Mustafar duel
I remember that scene in the extras for II where they shot the last scene of III and George said that if it doesn't work, he won't get the scene. It would be fair of Ewan to include the detail that they had already done this shot in a normal manner, but considering he doesn't seem to have even watched the films that made him millions, I doubt he'd care or even comprehend the fact that this was the scene he did in the desert three years prior.
aunt peru HAHA him trying ( and failing ) to remember the things he did on star wars on this show, and on some of the Graham Norton clips, is just hillarious. I so hope he falls in love with the series again. i dunno but just the sheer amount of greenscreen acting, particularly in the second film he had to deal with, i think made him fall out of favour with the franchise. you can see the change from when he's sooo pumped behind the scenes in episode 1, to episode 3 where Mustafa and Utapau scenes are literally ALL greenscreen LMAO XD
Ok, if you find me a lava planet and vertical canyons planet, then sure, you can laugh. And by the way, Utapau was a miniature and volcano footage was real.
@@Alacritous Really? Maybe for the cool effects and stuff, but he doesn't seem to understand the plot at all. Everybody, fans and opponents of the series alike, knows the films have their fair share of troubles when it comes to acting, comprehensiveness and how they all turned out, but a true fan would be apologetic about it rather than diss it like this and say "who knows what they're about, they are difficult to follow anyway".
I love the Prequels but relax everybody Ewan can express how he felt about being in them it's cool it doesn't have to affect your enjoyment of them. Alec Guinness had issues also being in the OT also btw.
Of course. But I think (if memory serves) that Guinness had more issues with the viewers obsession about the OT than with being in them. In most interviews I have seen him he was very complimentary about the films themselves. Even in the late 80s . Maybe I have missed some information...
@@Dacre1000 He didn't think the writing was any good. To be fair to him, Star Wars was a totally new thing to cinema, none of the actors had any idea how successful it could be and Alec was probably thinking "how have I ended up here?!"
I remember Mark Hamill going a bit stir crazy during the Dagobah scenes and mentioned how tough it was. Not as bad a green screen, I would imagine, but certainly for the time, he spent a couple of months talking to puppets and men in garbage cans.
@@mr.o8569He wrote that in a joke book where he painted himself as a foolish and cynical caricature of himself. All the people who knew him personally said he was borderline obsessed with Star Wars and they'd tell him he was too old to be fanboying over movies like that.
Having now at the age of 23 watched this triology of films with my fiancé this interview is now even more funny and I can appreciate it more than before I had watched any of the films 🎥
Holy crap, I had forgotten that there was this kind of life in his performance. I mean, after the constant dour one note direction of the Obi-Wan show, I couldn't remember that there was a time when Star Wars was new and exciting. (Ok I am enjoying the spy thriller Andor, but the Obi-Wan show was just such a bummer to sit through before it...)
@1993DJC even Jake was good for what George idiotic mind wanted. They really shouldn’t have focused on a baby kid for a whole movie and skip the entire Clone Wars that could have easily been a live action film with Ewan and Hayden
@@Tonycillian5Yeah what an idiot. Only a truly lacking intelligence could come up with the most successful movie franchise of all time without any source material to base it off of.
@@YodatheHobbit Even from 2005 to 2011, fans b*tched and moaned about the prequels nonstop until Disney released the sequels. And now they love the prequels. 🙄 Funny how things flip.
@@delgat000 Is that true though? They’re for people who don’t understand how humans communicate yet 😄. I tried rewatching Attack of the Clones last night and it was so bad it actually made for a fascinating viewing experience, until it got a little too much to bear with the “I love you” scene 🤢. The costumes and sound design were great but that dialogue made my skin crawl in every scene. The film tries to have these unearned “epic” moments with characters we don’t even know or care about. Even as a teenager I rolled my eyes when Yoda fights with a lightsaber, because it totally undoes the entire point of his character and the force in general🙄, all in service of selling action figures. The constant green screen stands out even more in 4K. Feels like you’re watching a video game
What's really sad is that there are those who love the entire franchise who have to deal with a fandom that is a bigger disappointment than any star wars film that might have underwhelmed someone.
I doubt that's accurate. I doubt there is many shots in the original trilogy that are 100% without practical effects especially if you watch the original versions instead of the special editions. The prequels in comparison have entire battles that are 100% CGI. Do you know how many clone trooper suits were built for Episode 2? Zero. Not a single clone in armor is real. There was a lot of practical effects for sure but more than the original trilogy? Shows like Mandalorian on the other had do a whole lot of practical effects. They don't green screen much at all. Instead they have giant screens they can place that project the already rendered backgrounds.
@@chamoo232 It is accurate. Sure congrats, you know there were no real clone suits. Did you know most the ships you see are real life size and miniatures. Kamino was real, the platform Obi-Wan and Jango fought on was real, the Jedi Council, Palpatines office, Wookies and other alien characters. And much much more. Go search the video, "The surprising practical effects of the Star Wars Prequels." He doesn't even like the Prequels but at least he know the truth. Prequels=More practical than OT Like it or not, that's the truth.
@@bigdoubleu117 That statement just doesn't make sense to me. In the prequels some aliens are puppets, some are makeup and some are CGI. In the original they are all puppets and makeup. In the prequels you have some sets that are real and some that are CGI. In the original it's all real or matte painting backgrounds. In the prequels you have some real scale ships, miniatures and CGI. In the originals it's all real scale and miniatures. It's not that the prequels didn't have a surprising amount of practical effect that is hard to believe. Just that it could have more than the originals. And as I said before I don't compare it to the special edition that just added a bunch of CGI stuff later on. I mean actual original trilogy. Maybe it all comes down to what really qualify as practical effect.
@@chamoo232 soooo, you gonna find the video? Like I brought the receipts, it can make zero sense all day long, but its clearly said in the video and other sources.
As in NUMBER of practical effects, not as in percentage of effects in the movies themselves. Because sure, if there are let's say 300 practical effects shots in the original trilogy, there might very well be 350 practical effects shots in the prequel trilogy. But those 350 shots might only be 50% of the effects made for the prequel trilogy, but the 300 shots in the original trilogy make up 100% of the effects shots. Statistics matter.
And this is why we have the volume now. Amelia Clark had a similar experience during some of her dragon riding scenes. It was just a rig and a green screen.
For stuff like that I think it make sense to green screen it all but where it's bad is like the Hobbit movies. Everyone being dwarfs while Gandalf is normal sized mean Ian McKellen ended up spending 90% of filming alone in front of a green screen. There is no life in those movies.
Ya it is kind of sad that so much green screen stuff had to be used and the actors had to just be like "yes.. green box desk.. totally an animal.. and ya look at the moons that are totally not edited in later.." like we meme on them when they were given less than we were XD we actually saw the stuff, they didn't
Lucas had all the Tatooine scenes he would need for the rest of the series filmed during Episode 1 because nobody ever wanted to return to that giant oven again
This paritucular scene was actually filmed way earlier during the Attack of the Clones shooting as they didn't want to build the sets again, well apparently they didn't, and also not to have to call back the Owen and Beru actors for a few seconds of shooting.
False. They did refilm it, but they filmed Ewan separate from Beru and Owen. George reshot their coverage. There were NEVER any "sets". The actors are also visibly older in ROTS.
@@alwaysabiggafish3305 Well I remember George Lucas saying that they filmed it during AotC shoot. So either I remember George Lucas' word incorrectly or he remember incorrectly.

@@delgat000 Is that true though? They’re for people who don’t understand how humans communicate yet 😄.
I tried rewatching Attack of the Clones last night and it was so bad it actually made for a fascinating viewing experience, until it got a little too much to bear with the “I love you” scene 🤢.
The costumes and sound design were great but that dialogue made my skin crawl in every scene. The film tries to have these unearned “epic” moments with characters we don’t even know or care about. Even as a teenager I rolled my eyes when Yoda fights with a lightsaber, because it totally undoes the entire point of his character and the force in general🙄, all in service of selling action figures.
The constant green screen stands out even more in 4K. Feels like you’re watching a video game
@@delgat000 speak for yourself, man. I’ve loved the prequels since they released in theaters.
What's really sad is that there are those who love the entire franchise who have to deal with a fandom that is a bigger disappointment than any star wars film that might have underwhelmed someone.
That’s fucking Obi Wan Kenobi
he tells a story very well
God I’m so excited for the new Kenobi series
“Have you seen your films?”
😂😂😂
I’m excited for the new show!
IMPOSTER
This is getting out of hand. Now there are two of them!
Hello there
Hello there
I'd love to see ewan and mark Hamill talk about star war together.
The country of Peru is actually named after Luke Skywalkers late Uncle.
Fortunately they never showed Obi-Wan walking off into the distance, otherwise he'd be seen sitting on the animal facing backwards.
What a legend!
Aunt Beru. Love Ewan McGregor! He’s a treasure!
He don’t need to watch the films, because he lived them
Gosh he’s so handsome, cute, so beautiful.
So grateful for him, He’s very excellent 👏
Ewan McGregor Still looks the same since Star Wars
He always looks SO different without facial hair
hahaha he was proper buzzing for this interview
This is why i Love ewan soo mutch ! 😸
Contrary to popular belief the prequels had more practical effects than the entirety of the original trilogy.
I doubt that's accurate. I doubt there is many shots in the original trilogy that are 100% without practical effects especially if you watch the original versions instead of the special editions. The prequels in comparison have entire battles that are 100% CGI. Do you know how many clone trooper suits were built for Episode 2? Zero. Not a single clone in armor is real. There was a lot of practical effects for sure but more than the original trilogy? Shows like Mandalorian on the other had do a whole lot of practical effects. They don't green screen much at all. Instead they have giant screens they can place that project the already rendered backgrounds.
@@chamoo232 It is accurate. Sure congrats, you know there were no real clone suits. Did you know most the ships you see are real life size and miniatures. Kamino was real, the platform Obi-Wan and Jango fought on was real, the Jedi Council, Palpatines office, Wookies and other alien characters. And much much more.
Go search the video, "The surprising practical effects of the Star Wars Prequels." He doesn't even like the Prequels but at least he know the truth.
Prequels=More practical than OT
Like it or not, that's the truth.
@@bigdoubleu117 That statement just doesn't make sense to me. In the prequels some aliens are puppets, some are makeup and some are CGI. In the original they are all puppets and makeup. In the prequels you have some sets that are real and some that are CGI. In the original it's all real or matte painting backgrounds. In the prequels you have some real scale ships, miniatures and CGI. In the originals it's all real scale and miniatures. It's not that the prequels didn't have a surprising amount of practical effect that is hard to believe. Just that it could have more than the originals. And as I said before I don't compare it to the special edition that just added a bunch of CGI stuff later on. I mean actual original trilogy. Maybe it all comes down to what really qualify as practical effect.
@@chamoo232 soooo, you gonna find the video? Like I brought the receipts, it can make zero sense all day long, but its clearly said in the video and other sources.
As in NUMBER of practical effects, not as in percentage of effects in the movies themselves. Because sure, if there are let's say 300 practical effects shots in the original trilogy, there might very well be 350 practical effects shots in the prequel trilogy. But those 350 shots might only be 50% of the effects made for the prequel trilogy, but the 300 shots in the original trilogy make up 100% of the effects shots.
Statistics matter.
love how he called beru peru
Ewan take my soul
I though this was a new interview, untill I read the descriptions.
Jonathan is safe now sitting behind his sausage desk
And this is why we have the volume now. Amelia Clark had a similar experience during some of her dragon riding scenes. It was just a rig and a green screen.
For stuff like that I think it make sense to green screen it all but where it's bad is like the Hobbit movies. Everyone being dwarfs while Gandalf is normal sized mean Ian McKellen ended up spending 90% of filming alone in front of a green screen. There is no life in those movies.
Love Ewan! 😂😂😂
Ya it is kind of sad that so much green screen stuff had to be used and the actors had to just be like "yes.. green box desk.. totally an animal.. and ya look at the moons that are totally not edited in later.." like we meme on them when they were given less than we were XD we actually saw the stuff, they didn't
Great direction by George
1:59 lol 😍🥰
That sofa looks so uncomfortable.
A sofa no friend would ever ask to crash on for the night.
Comfortable sofas tend to make people unflattering on camera.
"Aunt Peru"
Me, watching this clip while living in Lima: 👁👄👁
He'll forever be renton to me.
Aunt Peru 😂
Is he saying Aunt Peru?? hahahah xD
That desk makes me want to eat a hot dog
Who’s here after 04/04/22? From the Jimmy Kimmel Show.
That's fucking Obi-Wan Kenobi!
this is the best story ive ever heard LOL hooooooo
Ewen absolutely knows her name is Aunt Beru, he's just messing around
Dude, the last time he watched Star Wars was 16 years ago
DAYUM! Ewan looks great for his age! Phantom Menace flashbacks.
2:10 Or was it aunt May and uncle Ben?
Beru FFS is what most fans are thinking, Ewan and the rest of the world no fecks given.
Ewan is a pretty funny guy too :D cool to see
Ewan looks great for his age.
This clip is a decade old lol
Peru
Ewen is so entertaining. Funny guy
Literally doesn’t age. Looks just like he did in Phantom Menace.
Yes, but this was 10 years ago tho
Lucas had all the Tatooine scenes he would need for the rest of the series filmed during Episode 1 because nobody ever wanted to return to that giant oven again
Look at the moons!
god I love him
This paritucular scene was actually filmed way earlier during the Attack of the Clones shooting as they didn't want to build the sets again, well apparently they didn't, and also not to have to call back the Owen and Beru actors for a few seconds of shooting.
False. They did refilm it, but they filmed Ewan separate from Beru and Owen. George reshot their coverage. There were NEVER any "sets". The actors are also visibly older in ROTS.
@@YodatheHobbit Nobody cares. Get a life
False, he literally says here that it was the last thing of the whole trilogy
@@alwaysabiggafish3305 Well I remember George Lucas saying that they filmed it during AotC shoot. So either I remember George Lucas' word incorrectly or he remember incorrectly.
@@YodatheHobbitNo there was a set, it's just that the set was filmed during Episode II.
Awesome. Obi-Wan Kenobi everybody!
