"star wars" is one of those movies that most everyone has seen. in fact, if you meet someone who hasn't seen "star wars," you yell at them. that's usually the reaction. and since people are so familiar with the characters and the story, we decided to have some fun with that. americans know more about "star wars" than we do actual wars. so we went out on the street and asked people for their thoughts

on current events that aren't actually current events at all in this special "star wars" edition of "liewitness news." [ applause ] >> this morning north korean leader kim jong un announced his replacement kylo ren. do you think kylo ren is going to be a good leader for the people of north korea? >> yeah, i feel like kylo ren would be a good leader because he's a real, you know, outspoken person. he's nice. person. >> do you agree with admiral akbar's statement that entering trap? >> it's a trap! >> so you think it's worth sure. >> and you agree ewoks need foreign intervention to survive >> definitely. >> do you believe the frigid temperatures like the ones we're experiencing on hoth is mankind's doing or is climate change on not our fault? >> it's a very good question. which would lead you guys to know that never believe anything

which means to research. look up hearth. look up the technology that has been created to be able to make weather any way that they want to. yes, that means tsunamis. yes, that means tornadoes. >> so are you saying that's what happened on hoth? >> i'm saying that's what's been going on this whole time. >> so you're saying that weather has been intentionally inflicted on the people of hoth? >> yes. >> do you think count duku is solely to blame for the clone wars? >> no. >> why is that? >> because there's a lot of other forces involved. to blame just one single thing accurate. i don't think that's fair. >> do you think count duku could clone wars? >> yeah. >> in your opinion did emperor papaltine have the authority to execute mace windu? >> i do not. >> do you think fox news is too soft on emperor papeltine? >> i do. >> what have you heard them say that makes you say that? >> nothing specific. just random stuff. but i just think they are soft on that.

>> is that something if the crime is severe enough you think people should be froze nen carbonite? >> it sounds quite sort of like -- like a sort of medieval punishment really to me. >> actually, it's from a long, long time ago. >> yeah. it sounds as if it's the sort of thing which shouldn't really still be going on. i mean, yeah. it's obviously very controversial. >> they're saying it dates all the way back to the hut dynasty. jabba the hutt was actually the first to do it. but do you think we -- >> wasn't he from "star wars"? >> they named the "star wars" guy after him. >> these questions are all about "star wars." i just realized. [ cheers and applause ] >> not only are j.j. abrams and the cast of the new movie here tonight, some of the non-human cast is here tonight.

in fact, let's -- [ applause ] it's nice to see you too. how are you doing?

7-year-old boy in a "star wars" trivia contest. this is not just any 7-year-old. his name is arden hayes. he's been with us before. he's very knowledgeable when it subjects. here's a little -- we put a little montage together to show you how smart he is. >> are you a genius? >> yeah. >> jimmy: who's that guy? >> warren g. harding. presidents. >> jimmy: he was one of the worst? sudan on it. >> jimmy: it's missing a country? >> yeah. >> jimmy: you'd think everyone would know that. >> but no one does. >> jimmy: but no one does. how many elements are there on >> 118. >> jimmy: and you know -- >> all of them. >> jimmy: you know all of them. >> barium, lampidim, cerium. samari muchlt -- >> jimmy: we get it. [ applause ] >> jimmy: so not only does arden know about the elements and presidents he knows a lot about "star wars" and tonight we'll find out who knows more about star warz, the kid or the cast from the movie. let me tell you right now, the answer is the kid.

because the character has been around for so long, we kind of take the voice of chewbacca for communicates is something someone, presumably george lucas, came up with. which makes you wonder how do you come up with something like that? what do you even tell the guy who does the voice? in pain? but it turns out the voice of chewbacca is everywhere. we combed the internet, put these together. these are videos shot by people who somehow found the sweet sound of chewbacca all around them every day.

[ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: his nemesis is wd-40. as most "star wars" fans know, there has been some, well, let's just call it animosity between two members of the original cast. i really don't know what happened. i know it involved an affair of some kind. i know it involved a woman. and since then i've been trying to get them back -- everything all right? something going on inside? you know, excuse me, i need to see what's happening. i'll be right back. [ siren ] hey, what's going on? >> jumper. >> jimmy: oh, no. can i have that? i know him. chewbacca.

you have too much to live for. >> [ chewbacca noises ]. you. >> jimmy: again i can't understand you. >> jimmy, what's going on? [ applause ] >> jimmy: oh, it's chewbacca. he's going to jump. good. >> jimmy: no, no, no, no. not good. no, bad. that's your friend. do something. >> shut your wookiee grunt hole, will you? don't give me that! you made a choice! she was my wife! i don't care! i don't want to hear it! no! >> jimmy: hey. hey. >> go ahead, do us a favor. jump! go on, jump! >> jimmy: don't jump. don't do that. no. come on. what are you doing? that's your friend up there. i know you guys have been

[ cheers and applause ] i'm glad to have you here. >> good to be here. thank you so much. >> jimmy: it's exciting to have you. i know you don't want to spoil anything. i know there's only so much you can reveal. but i do have one question, specific question i'd love to get an answer for. >> all right. >> jimmy: i think the fans would love to get an answer for this question. >> yeah. >> jimmy: at the end of "lost," okay? the last episode. [ laughter ] they were in purgatory, right? i mean, it was -- >> jimmy, whatever you say, man. >> jimmy: are you done with the movie? are you finished? >> we have like a couple more color correction things to do, but we're done.

>> jimmy: it's almost in the can. [ applause ] is there even a can anymore? are there cans? >> they have cans but they have nothing to do with the movie. cans. no cans. >> jimmy: are you happy that you've almost finished it? >> i can't tell you the relief i feel. honestly. it's been a long time. work on this thing. nerve-wracking. i won't lie to you. >> jimmy: i remember being at a dinner, a birthday dinner for our mutual friend alex wallow, and bob iger was at that dinner, and he was trying to convince you at the dinner to direct this movie. and you were reluctant. >> i was only reluctant because, a, i love the movie "star wars" so much. i love the original trilogy. i was 11 years old when i saw the first one. it had a profound impact on me. and so the idea of getting so close to something kind of scared me a little bit. and also i'd been working on a bunch of things and katie, my wife, and i had plans with the family to go away for a little while. >> jimmy: really? >> yeah. calls and says do you want to direct "star wars"? i said no thank you.

but then she said can we talk in person? i said of course. she came and we met. all we had to do was start myself -- >> jimmy: you got carried away with yourself. >> the idea that -- katie said afterwards, the meeting, i talked to her about it. she said if you pass this up you'll probably regret this for the rest of your life, you should really consider it. >> jimmy: right. and if it goes poorly you will life. >> this is true. >> jimmy: how many people have >> it's a good question. we've shown it to -- had a bunch of little sort of small friend and family screenings. but the truth is i haven't seen it with hundreds of people. it's been, you know, a few here, a few there. and that's the thing i'm most excited about because it is a movie that i think will be a lot >> jimmy: that is the best part of directing a movie, isn't it? actually getting to see people watch it and enjoy it. >> it is. but it's like you never know. know. when we did the star trek film we hadn't seen it with an australia.

and at the opera house. and there were just thousands of people there. you couldn't hear anything. the space was so big, it wasn't like a normal movie theater. so i was convinced the whole time it was an utter disaster because i'd never seen it with an audience. and when it was over they gave an incredibly generous ovation. thing. but during the movie you just through it. so it's terrifying. >> jimmy: are fans of the "star wars" movies more aggressive than the fans of the "star trek" -- >> there are more of them. and because i have always, since i was a little kid, counted myself among them, i'm not going anything bad about them. i think they're fantastic. >> jimmy: i'm not looking for you -- sometimes. >> jimmy: they come up to you and they must say you've got our baby and you'd better take care of it. >> i get a lot of people coming up and saying oh, hey, i love "star wars." and my response to that is thank it. and i'm grateful that we're in

but it's like i was -- i saw it too. but what they're really saying underneath it is if you screw this up i'll kill you. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: right. and some of the characters remain from some of the original films. but the focus is on new characters. you've got new -- phil collins does all the music for this movie, yes? >> yes. phil said i'm not retired anymore and did all the music. it's incredible. john williams. >> jimmy: oh, yes. >> does the music. not phil collins. no. no one from genesis did the music. we have an amazing cast. daisy ridley. you'll meet them in two minutes. >> jimmy: you'll maybe even ruin their lives. i assume. >> that's sort of the goal. >> jimmy: it really is. >> if nothing changes we really screwed up. >> jimmy: is to make sure they get swarmed by nerds everywhere they go, people carrying signs. >> this cast, they are truly -- they are amazing. i cannot wait for you to see. >> jimmy: i can't wait to see it either. apparently i wasn't among the friends or family.

but neither was guillermo. he better not have been there! >> i really can't wait four to see it. >> jimmy: i'm looking forward to seeing it. and i will tell you i know some people who have seen it and people who are very critical in general say -- they're effusive. they say it's great. same way. now, what i would love to do is to get a little bit of something out of you. what i mean by that -- i don't mean a liquid. i mean -- i'd just love to know like for instances what's the first word of the movie? >> the first word? >> jimmy: yeah. >> spoken? >> jimmy: yes. the first spoken word in the film. >> ready? >> jimmy: yes. >> this.
