Anthony Daniels' Paris press conference


Posted Tues. French video.

https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsLeaks/comments/df9w00/star_wars_the_rise_of_skywalker_anthony_daniels/

-Was there during the filming of the official poster scene, says it took them 6 days to film that scene. It was brutal because it was in November and it was non-stop wave after wave. Gave huge props to Daisy and Adam for going through that. Called Daisy a true character hero in the trilogy and in no way, because she's a feminine character, was it politically driven.

-Is aware of the fan division, reads and hears that some fans are saying they will never watch TROS, says he doesn't believe it because this film is the final one, and he believes they'll be first in line.

- Says he was but decor for the last two films of the ST, but that he definitely, for once, is involved a lot as he's part of the hero's adventure.

-Says everyone will be satisfied with the ending, called JJ a brilliant mind as well as Chris Terrio, as they really gathered all the scattered storyline pieces and concluded them. Says there is something for everyone in this movie from darkside lovers to light side.

I'll wait for it to come to home video.

I'm glad he wasn't paid to get long term fans back on side and shell out their $$$ to go see it in cinemas.

Most will likely 'obtain' the film through other means to watch it.

Here's what I heard: "blah, blah, blah, shill, shill, shill, this is totally my unbiased opinion, Disney is not in full 'damage control' and 'get butts in those theater seats' mode." Mmhmm.

Same for Lucas and his recent take after his screening of the ending. Though for him I'd believe it was less for money reasons and more a "please don't remember my legacy as a steaming turd" plea. Sorry, George, the minute you signed the check the legacy was no longer yours.

Lucas has been ruining his legacy on his own fine for over two decades.

Who's he? The dude in a gold suit in that flopped sci fi channel crap?
Never mind. Show's dead.
