"Captain Phasma is the first female Star Wars villain"

*Asajj Ventress is typing...*

Kennedy's comment at 8:11 is everything. They didn't have time for Michael Arndt to write his screenplay because Disney board members and investors demanded a film be out by 2015 regardless. The motivation to create new Star Wars was not a creative one, it was a financial one, and the end result of episodes 7.8 and 9 make that point staggeringly obvious.

Got any whiskey?
Take a shot every time someone says, "the originals." Good luck.

It's very disappointing that Leia, Han, and Luke were never together in a scene in this new trilogy

[viewaskew]

Lol Harrison Fords biggest concern going into this film was whether or not they could afford springs for the millienums switches

[jakubbrezina]

Well mark hammil was reading that whole script because he didnt have any lines in the script.

When phasma is in this longer than the movie

[martianmilktvofficial]

I still think the saddest thing about this movie is chewies cries after Han dies. That’s his best friend who he’s been with for decades. I hate how they just glossed over it

[MoviesRemastered]

Phasma = wasted
Luke = wasted
Leia = wasted
Snoke = wasted
R2 = who?
Hux = wtaf?
Finns arch ended after TFA

So many set ups that don't pay off or get answered.

I like watching this documentary more then the movie

I'm so happy that George Lucas said no to Harrison Ford when it came the idea of killing Han Solo in Return of the Jedi because that would have been a terrible idea. Because the death we were not expecting to feel sad about in Return of the Jedi was Darth Vader's but we did. And Han Solo dying would have stole all the attention and would have taken so much emotion away from the scene where Vader dies. Episode 7 was the right place for it to happen because it is a Star Wars tradition. Qui-Gon Jinn who was the leader of the good guys in episode one died in the first installment of the prequel trilogy. And then Obi-Wan Kenobi became the leader and he died in episode 4 the first installment of the original trilogy. And then Han Solo became the leader and he died in episode 7 the first installment of the sequel trilogy. Episode 7 was the right place for it to happen. I understand that at the time Harrison thought George only wanted to use the characters in the original trilogy for just that trilogy and there were going to be no more after their story because George Lucas wanted to go back and tell the backstory of Vader. But still it would have been a terrible idea for Return of the Jedi.

I don't know why they focus so much on the Phasma actor. She was only in the movie for 5 minutes.

[EricTitterud]

"at the same time I want the fans to feel like we're doing this right from the beginning. Is this going to serve them" - you mean fan service? I think you nailed that part of it. the actual story on the other hand ...

[ryanwilson]

Phasma made zero important choices to "react to" - what a waste of a great actor and cool character design.

Thank you!!

Ignore all those negative comments, just love all trilogies ❤

haters always gonna hate!

The biggest mistake George Lucas ever made was to make Kathleen Kennedy president of Lucasfilm.

[Joshua-]

Mark was probably looking through waiting for his lines... but they never came

[landonfilm]

I'm so glad that you've put this online! :D I've been trying to find it for years!!!

Interesting how Harrison Ford is a pilot in real life and on screen. I watched this movie the first day it came out. Mr. Lucas thanks for your vision of such a great story. The world is eternally grateful for the best story ever told. May the force be with you sir.

3:25 is a perfect demonstration of the change that happened between how Star Wars was managed under Lucas and how it changed under Kathleen. It is a film made by a committee not by an artist and that's why to me no matter how hard they try it will never feel right.
