All right. Thanks. I dont know how to get rid of them. I yeah. Thanks, guys. Take a break. Anyway. Yeah, go with that one. Theyre not too bright, really, you know . Well, thank you very much. Im jimmy, im your host of a very special night tonight. We are coming to you from a galaxy not too far away, hollywood, california, where we await the World Premiere of star wars the rise of skywalker. [ cheers and applause ] i dont know if youve heard about this its a movie. Its happening just across the street. The afterparty is in our parking lot. I came over this morning, there was a millennium falcon in my spot and [ laughter ] i had to have it towed. But the force is with us tonight. And the cast of the movie is with us, too, and the writer, director of the movie is with us. Jj abrams is here to tell to spoil everything. Hes going to tell us off the top, Luke Skywalkers mom paid obi wan half a million credits to get him into jedi school. And it turns out the force is gluten, so [ laughter ] jj, as you know, directed star wars, he rebooted star trek, Mission Impossible and he owns four yogurtland franchises. He will be here in a couple minutes. Also tonight, a key member of the Rebel Alliance standing guard, keeping us safe from harm, our very own guiyoda is here with us. [ cheers and applause ] guillermo how you doing . [ cheers and applause ] jimmy guiyoda has words of wisdom for young skywalker, his trainee. Share with us some words of wisdom. Share with the audience here tonight. Go right ahead. [ laughter ] guillermo just keep doing what you doing and you doing a great job. [ cheers and applause ] jimmy thats you know theres a baby yoda now . Thats drunk yoda. [ laughter ] we beefed up our whole security detail tonight. Now only is yoda with us, we have a team of droids backing him up. An allstar team of droids. As a matter of fact, r2d2, bb8 and d. O. Are with us tonight. [ cheers and applause ] look at that. It is an honor to have you here. Its like a Sharper Image catalog came to life. [ laughter ] are you guys doing okay . [ beeping ] youre still under warranty . [ beeping ] all right, well, you know, i have to say, were very excited about these guys being around our office today, my roomba went nuts when he saw them. [ laughter ] rise of skywalker according to disney will be the last of the Skywalker Saga. Of course its the last of the Skywalker Saga. Donald trump is president , its the last everything. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] you know, if youve seen the trailer the evil empire palpatine is back and the only way the resistance can defeat him is by impeaching him in the house and convicting him in the senate. [ applause ] star wars is many of you probably know, the secondhighest grossing film franchise of alltime after the madea movies. [ laughter ] i saw the first one when i was 9 years old. My uncle frank took me and my cousin ann to see it. He fell asleep immediately. Slept through the whole thing, woke up and said he loved it. [ laughter ] its easy to forget sometimes that these movies were not created for us, they were created for kids. Kids are who these movies were made for. So, we decided to give kids a chance to ask a star wars question, any question of director jj abrams and members of the cast and sure enough, they did. Im wondering how the force works and how and how its so powerful. I dont know. [ laughter ] hey, rey, can you really do a backflip or are you just a liar . Um um um im a liar. How old is finn, does he like being a stormtrooper or a bad guy, whats his favorite color, how old is he, does he wear glasses or not, how old is he in real life, does he like shopping, does he go to gucci, nordstroms or macys or does he go to normal stores and buy food or does he go to other places . All right, finn has a whole lifestyle. His clothes are provided by the resistance, unfortunately, so he doesnt get to go down to gucci. Do droids eat or go to the bathroom or do they just pee in their pants . Um uh their pants. This question is for poe. Are you going to be a big character in this movie or are you going to be a tiny character . Are you going to be a [ bleep ] character like you always are or are you going to do something meaningful this time . I appreciate you saying that. We all say it, but its nice for you to verbalize it. Thats exactly what i asked jj, as well. And thats why they created your character. Enter me how old is chewbacca . And how tall is he and how much does he weigh and does he eat a lot of calories or does he stay fit and run or jog or do peloton or ride a bike or do any other sport that involves running or doing stuff like that . Where to begin . Chewbacca is 76 tall, chewbacca eats a lot of food. Hes always hungry. He doesnt own, currently own a peloton device. Hes thinking of getting one. What are the best foods to eat when you dont have any front teeth . Bananas, very soft, you can kind of mush them in the back of your mouth. Strawberries. I got a little gap and i can smush it through the gap. You know what, if we really had the force we would probably know these answers. Yes. Id say small berries is the best fruit to eat when you dont have front teeth. Lando, i have a question for you. Everyone calls Chewbacca Chewbacca but you call him chewbacka. What does that mean . And whats the reference behind that nickname . I was just mispronouncing. Its as simple as that. As a matter of fact, im offended now. For a long time, i didnt know whether to call him han, hon, hun. Master solo. Ahh ah oh, shes ah what . Ah ah ahh i dont think this is just about him. Is bb8 a boy or a girl . Oh, my god. I dont know if we ever found out if bb8 was a boy or a girl. Definitely a boy. Ive seen it. [ laughter ] i was surprised. Thats sick. You know, little compartments open up and there are surprises in there, so, definitely boy. I dont really watch star wars anymore, because im kind of too old, but ill watch it. Gee, thanks [ cheers and applause ] jimmy all right. Thanks, kids. All right, were going to take a break, but theres much more to come. We will be right back with the director and cast of star wars the rise of skywalker.

How long has it been that youve been working on it . A couple years. Jimmy a couple years. All the time. You cant leave your house. All that i left the house for, like, ten months. I was in london. Jimmy when you finish and youre not with these people every day, for instance, daisy you did two movies with, did jj give you a gift, a parting present, anything to commemorate your time together . He did. Jimmy he did. And its a touch obscure. Jimmy okay. Jj said, i cant give you your gift now. Because its taking a while to make. And i was like what is this thing . So a box arrives at my house. Im like throwing out my friend was over. So she was experiencing this with me. I was throwing all the things out. So, theres a show called the Great British bakeoff. Jimmy oh, yeah. And me and jj love this particular contestant who will remain unnamed. Jimmy oh, really . Jj had me made a real lifesize mask of the contestant that fits on my head. Its amazing. It looks hair, everything. And it was made for daisys head. Jimmy and the contestant has no idea that this exists . No, no. Slightly bizarre. Jimmy wouldnt it be wonderful to show up to this persons house in the middle of the night . Get me some muffins. Or something. I opened the door a couple of times to my friends in it and people go, oh jimmy thats pretty crazy. So now i know, john, because you posted that jj gave you a spiderman stormtrooper helmet. Yeah, that was surprising. Jimmy because you love spiderman, as well. I love spiderman. Love him. Jimmy and thats the only one in existence, i would imagine. I hope so.

Do you go to him and say yeah, i just need a few people in your movie . Yeah. Just throw them in behind some aliens or whatever. I want to say two things if i could. First of all, you sound awful. Jimmy thank you. [ laughter ] secondly, the chocolates thing, hold on a second. I loved the chocolates. Those were literally molded, and said oscar isaac like imprinted in the chocolate. It was amazing. Handmade. Not like i picked them up at the store. They dont have them at nordstroms. What the hell . I said they were delicious. All right guys, calm down. They were crunchy, okay . There was two different kinds. Jimmy so you did get thats a pretty good gift also. Him putting your friends in this movie. Yeah, thats its and killing them. Jimmy and killing them, yeah. Is it true that you guys, the two of you are very Close Friends or is that just, like, we see that on junkets. Little bit of both. Jimmy tell me [ cheers and applause ] i kid, i kid. Hes just doing it he loves me this guy jimmy now that were talking about these objects, jj, you can take anything this is a great time for you guys to confess if you stole anything from the set.

Jimmy it is in your this is a very bad Jedi Mind Trick right now. Its not in my house.

Whoa [ cheers and applause ] trhere you go. Ill put it right here. gasps j. C. Penney. Remember the little things. You shouldnt have to pretend youre fine. You shouldnt have to be the ambulance.

Because we believe you shouldnt have to choose between the life youve built and the care you need. The ones that make a truebeen difference in peoples lives.
