the Adam Savage project I'm will I'm
Adam and I'm norm hello gentlemen good
morning it's always a good morning these
days ah you know Darryl yes it is always
a good morning um we are well we are the
last few weeks of production on
Mythbusters this is the big announcement
I guess we're starting right off with it
and my schedule is Ludacris at this
moment yeah it's pretty and I know it's
usually Ludacris but right now it's even
more than normal we said this a long
time ago and people who came to the
podcast late have never heard it when
norm and I started working on tested
with you guys in 2012 we thought we were
pretty busy up until that point and then
we we got a good grasp of what your
schedule is like on an annual basis and
I I don't I honestly like now I
understand why people have to have
people that help them know where y-you
need a team yeah why you need a team of
people cuz because you guys are you
you're your time is booked on weekdays
anytime you're outside of your house
basically yeah yeah it's true I mean and
to put in some perspective I don't think
that I fly a lot but I'm wrong I I have
my kids I split custody with my kids
with their mom week week right and I
genuinely managed to not have to travel
on the weeks that I have the boys so
over those 25 weeks a year that I don't
have the boys I still fly about a
hundred thousand miles in your Russian
those weeks just in those week frequent
flyer miles Wow the hotel plans
ever awards mine ever yeah that's 40
cross countries it's it works out to
something close to that I mean you know
we were in Abu Dhabi this summer and hey
we try not bearing the lead but let's
talk about that Star Wars true
I know it's get to that a number one
thing people we get to that uh but yes
Thursday was announced Wednesday
announced on an Entertainment Weekly's
website and Thursday in the magazine
that Mythbusters is completing its run
on the Discovery Channel this is an this
is bittersweet
it is also awesome in this regard most
shows on cable just stop their ratings
start to dive and the network decides
not to renew them and in this case
discovery in partnership with us has
agreed to send off Mythbusters and put
it to bed properly so we have have been
since January I'm sorry but I couldn't
tell anyone filming the final season of
Mythbusters which will air early 2016
it is a countdown of goodbye
it is we've chosen a whole bunch of
iconic categories to shoot episodes
within that hark back to the history of
Mythbusters and we have just Thursday
completed perhaps one of the most insane
stunts I have ever participated it in
participated in in my entire life
something to say uh you guys though your
own footage oh yeah yeah quick you
showed us two angles cuz you showed us
the the yeah I'm not on that is like a
two-thirds isometric and there's one
from the side the one from the side was
unbelievable yeah it really we didn't
even expect that that would I know I
know it's awful I'm so sorry I'm so so
we didn't even expect that that would
actually be a shot we were just putting
that camera there for sound and the shot
that it got was insane so so you guys
have done 13 or 14 years 14 years for
2002 was when we started filming of
Mythbusters what I mean
at this point you have a team that
you've worked with now for a really
really long time some of them have been
with us as long as 12 years and I think
you know the shortest timer is like
seven years so this is a family um it is
a family and it is an incredible
incredible crew and I might have said
this before but it's also a small crew
we're only about 19 20 people in San
Francisco and if you walk on the set of
most television shows it's like 70 or 80
people on set so we really like it
intimate and quiet and like I said it's
family in every sense of the word we've
all seen each other at our best and we
have all seen each other at our worst
well in I mean I have to imagine that
that has to be I mean it's emotional
anytime you you wrap something up after
a long period of time yes this but the
like just just the people is the thing
that that I got I get upset about yeah
well you know one thing is Jamie and I
do extracurricular stuff we've done some
stuff for corporations the fact is is
whenever we do we try and hire our
people to do it and most of the time
we're successful and I i truly hope to
keep as many of these folks busy in the
next year as i can because i work
incredibly well with this group and one
of the things we say to clients is if
you'd like this video to be done in the
timeframe that we want to do it in
because it's very tight you got to hire
our crew because our crew knows exactly
how to work with us so how do you feel
though i mean how do you feel up looking
back you've had a few weeks to digest I
don't do that I've had months to deal
with this and that to be honest up until
about a week ago I was really really
suffering I went through all the stages
of grief I said this in the e/w article
but I mean seriously like food didn't
taste as good and come in here at a
noodle round on the shop was just
unsatisfying you know we went through
this whole post comic-con destruction
here where it took me about three months
to get the shop clean and uh I genuinely
was grief stricken
semi depressed on that front and it you
know i-i've
rapping that last sequence last week and
the announcement finally being made
really I think provided the catharsis
that turned the corner for me to feel a
lot lighter about it it is great to
finally be able to talk about it openly
the outpouring of of mythbuster love on
Twitter and social media has been
incredible and humbling I mean all these
people saying you got my kid interested
in stem I'm an engineer because of you
guys holy crap you know that's that that
stuff is just I don't know what to do
that except put it in my pocket and be
glad that we had that interaction with
people you know I don't think you're
gonna say thank you right exactly for
library treating cons now they're gonna
feel that impact for years it's a lot of
specs it's like astronauts who watch
Star Trek right yes right and you're not
gonna feel that until you know you have
guys like Jason Reitman who love
Mythbusters and informs how they think
critically think but it could be 10 15
years from now before the next you know
batch of astronauts yeah you know and
it's parents come up and we've become
sort of I said this before but I think
we've become sort of patron saints of
the autism spectrum disorder you know I
do the signings at Maker Faire I'm sorry
to go last year but whenever I do those
signings there's parents who come up and
say your shows the only thing my kid
slows down for and it showed them that
there was a possibility and again this
isn't this is so far outside our
original mission that is astonishing so
I love this show I love making this show
I I I will miss making it I really am
excited about the next the next stage
and one of the great things about the
Twitter feed my Twitter responses is a
lot of people are saying exactly what
I'm thinking which is they're saying
can't wait to see what happens on tested
next year and they're right this is a
totally both phoebs I was in the
elevator in Las Vegas yesterday did a
corporate appearance yesterday and this
guy gets hit and says I'm a sign painter
was a sign painter for 30 years now I
paint boats for the LA County Sheriff's
Department and uh
I love your show I've been watching it
since the beginning uh you know just uh
wait what was my original point how many
boats in LA County Chester Harmon Erica
a lot
oh right he said he said right he said I
love your show I love the one day built
I love it when people say that Oh II
says but there's not enough of them and
I said that will be remedied next we
need first we need to clone Joey yes um
I'm working on it is is there anything
you know 14 years is a really long time
for a cable TV show
yeah it's insanely 160 hours of
television yeah that that is a lot of
television how is there stuff you regret
that you didn't get to go do or do you
feel like you got I mean you flew on a
jet at the edge of that Monsieur you've
gone faster than the speed of sound
there's just there's a couple of stories
that I would have loved to have done a
couple of small stories um in fact I'm
rebuilding a list okay I mean I don't
know that it's ever going to come up
again I don't know if discover you know
I don't know what's going to happen but
I can't stop collecting myths and it's
not like I'm going to start to reboot
Mythbusters because I'm not we're
finished with this show but it's still
in my nature every time I see a news
story that has something testable in it
to put that on a list and so it still
goes on for things went on in the last
few days I think there's a place for
that there is a place for that look if
someone else starts to make a bit
supposed to show I've got a lot of ideas
for them when you when you do the
Christmas special with a little Gary
Coleman Chewbacca right and and and then
Jamie gets buried in rubble and hit the
building and the whole family has to
wait at this side that's I think that
maybe the Brady now special now speaking
of burying the lede we are gonna talk
about the Star Wars killer but I have to
tell you a story okay I love stories you
will deal just you're not prepared for
how intense the story is I'll protect my
phone to silence so uh I have been doing
Mythbusters for 14 years one of my
favorite things have been doing on this
show over the years is the driving stuff
I was not a great driver when we started
doing Mythbusters I was semi distracted
I just didn't I didn't pay enough
attention and Mythbusters has turned me
into a bonafide stunt driver
you guys have done a literal few dozen
amazing car stunts oh yeah as learned
how to drive on two wheels I've learned
how to tactically drive a bus tent
speeding tent drifting drifting on dirt
drifting on water high-speed stuff I
mean it's all over the map and how much
your brain is that use versus beforehand
nope
oh the Star Trek chair is waking up hold
on uh uh that's coming alive good night
captain what was it what how much does
your brain I mean you say you weren't a
good driver beforehand and afterward it
tell you put in some context how much
actually it takes to learn to be a good
driver well you know it's it's iterative
like any skill so you get you get good
at things and you learn to internalize
them probably until a couple of days ago
the best example of this was I was back
east with my wife and we were driving
through Westchester County in the winter
and I hit a patch of black ice and the
car started skidding and I don't think
my heart rate raised even a beat as I
slowly guided the car back on to the
road just like Glen it is just like you
know no problem two days later my wife
had to go stop aiming for the black ice
oh because I found it really fun but you
know all the oversteer understeer stuff
that I've learned just made that a
trivial thing to deal with a couple of
days ago I am driving back from where
were we we drove somewhere with the boys
and the dogs and we were driving back in
my Land Cruiser and a lot of people no
no we are in two cars oh so my son and I
were in my Land Cruiser and we're on 280
heading north right around the Ocean
Avenue exit okay when my steering wheel
stopped working that's exciting to be
clear your two front wheels are linked
together by an arm and that arm has a
joint on it that attaches to your power
steering module that is where your
steering wheel connects
to your car so were you steering was the
wheel spinning and nothing would happen
or were you not able to train knuckle
that attaches my steering wheel to the
yoke that holds the two front wheels
together sheared ooh so as if it had
just pulled off right this is go it is
effectively I was without a steering
wheel from I was going 50 miles an hour
and all of a sudden my steering wheel
broke away like nothing's happening 280
get scurvy and I started swerving across
all four lanes in full traffic oh this
is terrifying now I always wanted a PA
system in my car yeah so I bought one
the thing is you can't just buy a PA
system if you buy a PA system for your
car it always comes with a siren now
you're not allowed to activate that
siren but I did this is the one case I
figured no one's gonna fault me for this
I had that sucker on within one half of
one second when we were done my son was
like that was fast
it was like as we're swerving across all
four lanes I managed to get into the
shoulder with most of me out of the
actual lane without being able to aim
yeah I don't know 50 you know if you got
if you're swerving going at a vandal get
there grab so well we just sort of got
got over and then I stopped literally
two inches away from the guardrail Wow
uh and we sit there and the cars that
are going by or buffeting us yeah
terrifying us have been did you get the
win did you get the shakes was this was
when you run that water to that minute
um again I don't think my heart rate
went up more than a couple of beats
during that because I've dealt with tons
of that stuff on the show just never in
real life yeah so we paused
I called triple-a triple-a I said can
you put the highest priority on this
they said we've put a note that you are
being buffeted by the cars in the fast
lane
and the tow service was there within 18
minutes that's really fast they got me
up on the flatbed they took
to my shop they took me to yeah
Mythbusters shop where I had the car
towed next day and my son was like I
can't tell if that was cool or really
freaky and I was like it is a
combination of mostly freaky with us who
saw of cool thing wanting to thing one
oh yeah um I didn't here's what here's
where it showed where it showed was that
I couldn't get to sleep that night I
didn't get to sleep until about 2:00
a.m. in the hotel in Vegas I'd to fly
that evening gelasa Vegas to do an
appearance yesterday this all happened
on Sunday and we just replaying it in
your head over and over doesn't even
like I was replaying it it was more just
like the adrenaline rush that I dealt
with uh just just totally threw me over
the moon in terms of being able to be
sort of and it wasn't like I was
irrational or even like shaky it was
just like that's messed up
that was the scariest thing that has
ever happened to me in a car full stop
and I'm including all the things I've
done eluding the upside-down almost
drowned right now yeah no upside down in
a car in the water that wasn't as scary
as this yeah I can't imagine I suddenly
hardly wait yeah I mean that that that
yeah I dried up I still drive a little
bit differently I'm driving my daughter
but but 280 we should paint a picture of
people don't know what 280 where you're
talking about is it's it's six lanes
probably five or six lanes and there's a
ton of bridges so there's bridge
abutments everywhere yep
people drive between 55 and 90 miles an
hour and it gets curvy heading into the
city yeah and it's really windy and I'm
really lucky that it was a Sunday
afternoon yeah because this was going to
happen this is like I saw the bolt the
bolt was absolutely sheared it's a it's
1982 so it's a 24 year old yeah could it
could have had when you're coming off
skyline to something pretty what were
your old bolt yeah so I'm gonna replace
the entire front end steering
arrangement as my life goes you think
so that happened Wow yeah been eventful
week so you see what you didn't get the
shakes until that you like you didn't
get the shakes at all
I think it
Sheik's at all I just like I said I
couldn't sleep and I was you know a
little bit freaked out just like you
could just tell that I was freaked out
because it wasn't thinking clearly yeah
yeah so I hope to never again have to
put my driving skills to that kind of
test oh that would be good not doing all
that siren so again if you could see
what I did on Thursday that I showed a
will enorm that is part of the
Mythbusters finale episode and you heard
that the losing my steering was rougher
you would be amazed yeah because what I
did home Thursday is until Sunday the
best driving of my entire life
the best driving of my entire life I
don't know if the Sunday thing counts as
the best driving since you didn't have
any control over the car haha I stayed
calm again siren on and I got my summer
to the shoulder it's essentially a train
without rails at that point you really I
guess you're right I guess happened the
brake tapped on the brakes
adjusting tapping a break getting your
siren on alright let's talk about the
really important thing Back to the
Future day oh wait
25 years ago today oh I was sad that the
Cubs didn't make it into the series yeah
it was close
who did the commotion the one with the
stripes yeah the other thing aside from
Mythbusters ending the most tweets I
think we got last week was about the new
Star Wars trip wanting us to talk about
it yes and so the important question
here is everyone have their tickets yeah
um I don't know I've got a I've got a
pair I've got four for the Kabuki at
four o'clock on Friday nice yeah I'm
Boris my day it's I chose a seven four
o'clock in the afternoon for sure oh my
gosh on Thursday I am I will get theirs
I will still be on tour or like three
days so I'll have to work that out
but I'll soon yes if only you know
someone this you know so somebody I bet
I believe that I think they'll probably
ate some preview screenings in my area
as well I might be able to that I'm
gonna I'm already working on weaseling
into so along with the tickets going on
sale I mean the movies I out for about
two months at this point a little
lessons you month month and a half so
there's also the final theatrical
trailer well what they're saying is to
find what they're saying
believe it it doesn't feel like a final
theatrical trailer that has like the
other trailers before while you're
seeing a lot of visual elements it
doesn't tell you anything about the
story that you didn't already know
now well the girl seems to be more
prominent yes so I know some people out
there will not want to hear too much
spoiler we can we can have like about
what we were assuming yes okay I was
going in cold thank you
well you watch the trailer we made you
watch the trailer whoa you're like just
without describing what's in the trailer
and what we were feelings um oh god I
wanted to money at the screen my god you
shut up and take my money I want to see
this right now um I remind myself that I
was excited at the episode one trailer
it was a really good trailer so really
know when the when the things come over
the grassy hill and you're like all
there's gonna be a huge fight it's gonna
be outside on grass could be like Hoth
but outside I want to see that and then
there's a lot of Jar Jar in that trailer
oh yeah well anyway I got misty I got
misty it felt great I'm really excited
about I I'm just really excited I feel
like I'm seeing exactly what Abrams does
which was pay homage and to modernize
the the franchise and he is you know all
you have to do is watch 8-millimeter
know he's a real leader don't want a
millimeter separate I'm always messing
that up eight millimeters a snuff films
about eight millimeter film
different were a totally different mom
he is bottle fed and VAT grown on
Spielberg and Lucas and has retained I
think their abilities of framing and I
mean framing in the wide scale and love
of adventurous storytelling and so I
just I have the highest hopes it made me
think it made me think it so I blow will
get a specific sample will talk about in
a minute it made me think about the
original trilogy from a different
perspective
hmm um so I I thought what would you
know these events that we all have
watched hundreds of times probably and
are intimately familiar with look like
to some poor Schmo on Young Boris on or
well Endor probably those guys that then
or genocide is yeah is well established
in the literature get like that what
yeah I'm moving that's no gravitational
Wells
bad things happen with death star
explodes in low orbit over your over
your plan yeah so if you didn't like the
Ewoks good news everybody
no more you want the Ewok genocide
captures a mythology of both meta
mythology of our awareness and Star Wars
in the cultural context as well as what
it could mean to these characters as
well
I love the can we talk about the what's
in the trailer yes so at this point get
upset if we do it at this point of you
have if you're not gonna watch trailers
you got 25 minutes of good pod yes okay
we're going to talk about the trailer
here's my question
where's Luke yeah I think the trailer on
Twitter more there's a lot said in the
trailer a lot shown visually but I think
it said thematically more about what it
didn't show with what it didn't show and
what it didn't show was one Luke
although you do see what everyone
assumes is lose hands behind eaten or to
you you kind of imagine over art when
there's in the teaser trailer and I
believe in this shows a brief shot of a
fire at night and you see are two hands
out low mechanical here yeah and you
assume that's you assume that's Luke so
he's also not on the movie poster or is
he
there are several masked characters door
he says it he's obviously see uh Mark
Hamill said on on Instagram he is not
Kyler because clearly in the lead up to
a marketing for a JJ Brazil no one's
ever lie the sound of yeah that's that
is a driver's well and it's a but a
character in one costume and had another
character do the voice they've in in
trailers in Vanity Fair yes it's very
clear Adam divers kylo Ren so where's
Luke um the obviously the Han Solo and
little princess slave relationship and
ever their their appearances and I think
Han Solo has the best line in the trail
I think that's the important most
important thing from the trailer what is
all you is the it's all true right you
realize it's become mythology over the
last thirty years
well men like I immediately went through
and replayed all of the first three
movies and was like oh wait okay so
Jedi were real in the Old Republic
right and then there's 40 years
basically 35 years and all the stuff
that happened that we know about the the
Jedi fight at the end of episode 4 right
the the Bespin fight there were no
witnesses are all isolated Jedi incident
we were the only witnesses of any of
that right and the last time Jedi were
probably seen in public was when Ben
Kenobi chopped that dudes arm off right
in the chat in Masai slackly exactly so
that's it's it's really exciting yeah
the trailer or the poster because there
was a theatrical poster which I'm not
the biggest fan of it's not a Drew
Struzan but it has kylo Ren with his
cross hill lightsaber and Daisy Ridley's
character I don't exactly Marone I
believe it's ray but she has her staff
and their line together yeah so I know
in the extended universe doesn't exist
in this new movie trilogy but in the
extended universe there was a set of
twins there I could leave a console on
the Han and Leia had twins and they both
had force powers and it was a big part
of that story and so this could be
paying it could be paying homage to that
I don't know I wouldn't hold my breath I
think the biggest thing I mean I think
Luke being part Luke is like the Spock
of the movie oh yeah it doesn't healing
that Luke might be the Yoda with the
yoga or the Spock were we're in 2009 a
new veteran a boy that was part of the
movie but his his appearance in it was a
surprise is in the middle of the movie
and he connects everything together and
what I love about and it's weird talking
about Star Trek but in this context is
they didn't have to kill Spock right at
the end of that movie well that's I live
off for that matter or or Kirk and Spock
letter Nimoy you know rest in peace he
got his character got to live on in that
universe she's got background what I
love that he got to walk off into the
sunset
for something yeah I don't know if
that's gonna happen here well I don't
know either I also I I found myself
loving the shot of Han and Chewie with
their arms up lowering their arms this
is a classic American cinema shot in
which your heroes think they're in
trouble but they end up meeting an old
and yeah and my question is who do they
meet who is that they're meeting there
as they oh we're not in danger it's like
right out of the single easy seven
oh no no III my my fantasy is that it's
Carrie Fisher like the films going to
take great so you imagine from a
screenwriting standpoint Larry Kass and
I love you you imagine from a
screenwriting standpoint that you've got
to expend a certain amount of energy
getting to hand uh and then Lea it
Hanley and Luke are all reveals I don't
think you just start out knowing about
me that's the thing it's Act one is all
what's happened in the 20 years since
right Jesse act one is Han Act two is
Leah and act three is Luke and also the
main characters of the film are not
those characters right
first they are special appearances guest
appearances we can't the new trilogy is
not going to be about Luke I'm also by
the way I die hard I have were no
special knowledge on this front one of I
yeah um the things that I've heard from
behind the scenes are merely qualitative
things like friends of mine at Lucasfilm
who are saying it's awesome yeah my eye
theory is that Adam driver is redeemed
Oh
interesting interesting well I mean that
that's the big questions it's unclear to
me who the big bad is right I mean we're
supposed to think it's Adam driver right
I mean Sylar pretty I think I love the
way he holds that lightsaber the kind of
aggressive way he's holding every time
it goes on it's not like a more elegant
age this is more like I'm gonna slice
you in half more but then but then you
also see ray looking incredibly angry
like she's shooting a blaster and
looking super super pissed so I mean I
also think that she's I also found
myself wondering that that structure you
see her climbing on in the beginning of
the trailer looks an awful like a lot
like the structure obi-wan was on in
Star Wars when he disables the Death
Star tractor beam Oh Center right it
could be the inside of that crash Star
Destroyer we see on that's why I think
it's absolutely and Isis I somehow I
suspect that's on the planet Arrakis or
something like that yeah
yeah hey you gotta get the kid you gotta
walk off step or slice that's what
they're fighting woman um if if I his
name is there there is a there is a
parody Twitter feed that is only
tweeting quotes from dune except
wherever the word spices they've added
the word pumpkin I have to tell you I
heard that I was like oh rolled my eyes
and then I started reading it every
single one is hilarious yeah that's good
it's this it's the pumpkin spice that
allows them to do what they do and
having me if you watch the movie you're
in that boy forget about it they've
ruined it forever
yeah hookah I think would be a big
reveal I think the biggest reveal have
not yet been even teased at yet oh yeah
no I'm sure they've got something up
their sleeve that's giant I mean it
that's the thing is Adam drivers the
obby is the Darth Maul in this situation
right well hopefully is more interesting
than El Diablo okay so but I'm just
saying there's always there's always a
low level bad guy then there's the big
bad you know higher Adam driver to not
be complex no no no and so ya know
that's very exciting I will tell you by
the way that the first time I saw Darth
Maul when I worked at Industrial Light
and Magic we would once a month gather
together to watch all the shots that had
been completed by the company that month
and there was a guy in the Edit room up
there who had cut together all the
completed effects shots but they weren't
with sound that's a totally different
thing so he just cut it to some cool
piece of music and you'd go once a month
and to see theater where we watched the
Martian gyrating last week
and you'd sit there for probably 35
minutes to some cool soundtrack and what
and you'd watch like a perfect storm
mixed with bits from Pearl Harbor mixed
with bits from episode 2 and that was
the first time I saw Darth Maul and we
were I must say from inside the company
we were making lots of fun of Darth Maul
from the very beginning we kept caught
we called him at Diablo I mean I look
like a Mexican wrestler but with a
lightsaber with two blades blades that
became two one bladed lightsabers yeah
it's so great fight this is part of the
best part of the whole prequel I'm
saying a lot and it says a lot about the
music just like yeah till the fates is
incredible John John Williams is just
the master the mass it's like when you
start to when you start to make a list
of iconic movie soundtrack games and you
realize they're all John's I mean yeah
but they did not even sometimes they
kind of all sound the same
I just not on the Danny Elfman way no no
none the Danny I'm well there are times
when it feels like he's borrowing from
himself but oh my god I mean let this
you know that's not mine considering
that we get raiders and jaws and star
war man Superman and yeah I mean these
owners oh my god Danny Hillis encounters
yeah
Close Encounters is still amazed hey you
know I haven't watched that in about 20
years I need to go back to it yeah
fantastic I didn't I watched about five
years ago and it's still really riveting
and incredible okay so what are your
takeaway is going into the final push
for the Star Wars stuff do you think
JJ's gonna pull into Star Trek into
darkness you know reboot universe no no
here you see him here you don't
he's not gonna reboot the universe you
can't do that no no no there's no time
travel what so what do you mean by well
I mean with into darkness he says
spoilers for into darkness he said oh no
there's no con there's no con there's no
condom oh yeah coverage clearly was con
and then he flipped the the ending of
search for Wrath of Khan right no I you
know I feel like I look I have no idea
obviously I think it's hilarious to
speculate from a trailer on the plot of
a movie that isn't hasn't come out yet
and I'm I'm only doing it on this one
because I'm so freaking excited that
it's coming out JJ is brilliant Larry
Kasdan is one of my favorite
screenwriters Silverado whoo um I see
Silverado Silverado is amazing on the
Silverado is a phenomenal movie and
Kasdan is just one of the really he's
one of the true great old-guard
Hollywood screenwriters so I just have
the highest hopes that this film is
genuinely great yeah and I think and I'm
really excited one of the reasons Star
Wars and doors is that it's a classic
heroes
yeah and I think that if JJ's gonna pay
tribute to anything it is going to be
the hero's journey mm-hmm and new
trilogy we've got new heroes but the arc
of the story of someone from nowhere
becoming an important person and
developing coming a real person that is
what we hope to see my guess is her
parents are dead you think that's when
you knew you've got to orphan your hero
right off the bat I'll put the orphan I
figured the heroes the stormtrooper
John boyega and boyega uh I'm making the
assumption that the girls the hero
they're both you know what I think that
the thing he'll might take from Star
Trek is camaraderie and Star Wars is
that it's gonna be about their all the
relationships the friendships right it's
really--it's buddies super 8 you know
it's it's ragtag team of people from
other places coming together and then
having an impact on the world which is
the best of Star Wars and at the key
moment where they're all going to be
riding bicycles towards the over the
over the new Death Star john boyega's
riding in the basket of jay-z literally
Ridley's bicycle the last thing I will
say are about speculation is if you look
at the original cast announcement
there's one person that they announced
in the cast that is not a pure ghen
anything oh who is that I only want to
say it you I think by saying it I think
we'll say well but if you if you if you
want to think about it you can look at
the original press releases to like
cheese John boyega I'll tell you guys
after the yeah no I know you will uh
John boyega days you really need new
comers and then there's a cast photo
remember that classic black and white
photo without all the roundtables like
that and prefer people forgotten that
they announced a cast member that has
not and it's not Donald Leeson all right
all right if you haven't seen it
somebody medley Weaver went back and
recut yes footage from the original
trilogy using the same voice-over
techniques as is used in this force
awakens trailer and a soundtrack say
ends Amtrak it is it is fabulous
all right really really worth watching I
will totally do that um if you search
where there's an IO 9 story that's
called this force awakens style trailer
with the original trilogy footage gives
us thrills chills chills
yeah excellent I think that's a great
place to stop
phone get your ticket yeah if you
haven't got your tickets yet I think
you're probably bone um so I would like
to do a special podcast the next couple
of weeks of questions about Mythbusters

Mythbusters ending you know I'd love to
