i'm going to interview them, you're going to hear what they have to say. together we're going to vote one of them out of the movie. it really will be interactive. "star wars" of course, it's now an official part of the holiday season. tonight to bring it all together we are, and i especially, am pleased to unveil for the first time in this galaxy the chewbacca christmas tree, ladies and gentlemen.

11:40 pm
oh, they're talking. boy, if people are just waking up stoned right now? [ laughter ] i apologize. "star wars" franchise has given us many beloved droids over the years like bb-8, r2d2, c3po. there are lesser-known droids who didn't make it to episode 8. i thought it fitting to pay tribute to those robots who fell well before their time. ♪ ♪ ♪ i will remember you ♪ will you remember me ♪ don't let your heart pass you by ♪

[ laughter ] they body have daddy issues. and the big question as far as family goes is who are rey's parents? people have been obsessing about this online, writing, posting speculation. after much investigation, i am excited to inform you rey's parents are -- barbara and steve matheson. they live in tucson, arizona. steve is a mortgage broker, barb is a registered nurse. they don't understand rey's jedi lifestyle but they support her
11:42 pm
wonderful. [ cheers and applause ] back here on the planet earth. the bigly story of the day, maybe of the year, is michael flynn. michael flynn is former national security adviser to donald trump. he pled guilty today to one count of lying to the fbi about his communication with the ambassador from russia. this is the same michael flynn who led the chant of "lock her up" in reference to hillary clinton at the republican national convention, where he also said this. >> if i did a tenth, a tenth of what she did, i would be in jail today. >> jimmy: well. so i guess he did a tenth of what she did and he's going to be in jail today. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] he's apparently facing multiple very serious charges. the fact that he's only been charged with one count of lying to the fbi most likely means he made a deal with the special counsel, robert mueller, to implicate others, to rat people out. which may explain why president trump's lawyer was seen leaving
11:43 pm
the white house with an overturned bucket of kentucky fried chicken over his head. flynn is reportedly preparing to testify against trump's family and staff, and maybe the president himself, which is potentially very bad news for donald trump. and potentially very good news for melania trump. [ laughter ] the most suspicious thing is donald trump hasn't even tweeted about this. his team released a statement today that described michael flynn, this is good, as a former obama administration official. [ laughter ] yes. who obama fired and then personally warned trump not to hire, which he did anyway. but yes, it's obama. according to court documents a very senior member of trump's transition team told michael flynn to contact the russian ambassador. that very senior individual is reported to be ivanka trump's husband jared kushner, now officially the worst son-in-law since the movie pauly shore made in 1993. [ laughter ] and i don't think he's going to thrive in prison.
11:44 pm
maybe trump is smarter than we think. people say, oh, no, he's smart. maybe this was all an extremely elaborate ruse to get rid of an annoying son-in-law. [ laughter ] flynn's deal, it's a little bit confusing. since it's "star wars" night i think i have a way to explain it that will make sense to everyone. so you see luke skywalker getting electrocuted on the floor. luke represents robert mueller. darth vader represents michael flynn. and emperor pallpatine shooting lightning out of his fingers, that's donald trump. om trump. used to take orders but his allegiance is flipped now. and so he might be about to pick trump up and throw him down a shaft into the death star. [ cheers and applause ] now i guess we just wait for the other shoe to drop. unfortunately, since it's the trump family, that shoe's being made in china so it could be awhile. it is the end of the week now. the cast of the new "star wars" movie is here. since you can see all the "star

i.com we went through it. it took a lot of work but this is a very special "star wars" edition of "this week in unnecessary censorship." >> my son is with them. >> are you sure? >> i have [ bleep ]ed him, my master. >> let me see your [ bleep ]. >> you don't need to see his [ bleep ]. >> you don't need to see his [ bleep ]. >> don't go. >> [ bleep ] yourself. >> you know i got to leave, i can't stay any more. >> you're a good [ bleep ], solo. hate to lose you. >> there's a price on my head if i don't [ bleep ] jabba the hutt, i'm a dead man. >> you stay here. we need to [ bleep ], [ bleep ]. >> i'm capable of [ bleep ]ing my own [ bleep ], thank you very much.

bb-8 and bb-ocho over there. the cast of "star wars: the last jedi" is on the way. a new "star wars" trilogy is on the way. i guess they're still in the early stages of development. and i assumed they must be looking for ideas so my partner guillermo and i went on what's known here in hollywood as a pitch meeting, sat down with rian johnson who's been selected as the creative force behind this new trilogy to pitch some we think really great characters and ideas. >> jimmy: hey, how you doing? >> hey, jimmy. >> jimmy: how are you? >> i'm good, man, how are you? >> jimmy: mind. >>fy i put this -- >> sure, sure. >> jimmy: this is my writing partner guillermo. >> hello. >> guillermo: nice meeting you. >> jimmy: he's from mexico, international thing going on here. love the movie, you did such a great job with that. >> yeah, it's not out yet, it doesn't -- >> jimmy: i know but you know what i'm saying. where should i sit, here?
11:52 pm
>> that's good, sure. >> jimmy: i understand you have three more movies to make. >> got a whole new trilogy, yeah. >> jimmy: that's a handful, isn't it. >> it is, it's a lot. >> jimmy: are you going to lose the old characters at all? >> nope. idea is we need -- >> jimmy: not going to use the aracters.new set of >> jimmy: you'll need a lot of characters. >> we've got to come up with me stuff and i think we can n help you with this. you don't have to use all of these but i think there are definitely going to be seven or 18 of these you're going to like and want to use. >> okay. >> jimmy: so our first character is called senor tapas. he's an alien. and he serves food in very small portions. >> small plates sort of thing. >> guillermo: shots of tequila here too. >> okay. senor tapas, all right, all right. >> jimmy: we'll give that one what, a 10? >> depending on the total scale, yeah. we can say 10, yeah. >> jimmy: jabba's palace. you need a boy band. the star boys.
11:53 pm
>> the tentacle ties it into "the alien." >> jimmy: the "star wars" version of one direction. it's a great way to end the movies too. you don't have to come up with a real ending to these movies, you go into the star boys singing and everybody goes out of the theater feeling pumped for the next one. >> musical number to take it out. >> jimmy: he knows. >> guillermo: very smart. >> all right, okay. star boys. >> jimmy: this is dunking squidge. >> so yeah -- tell me more about dunking. >> jimmy: he's inspired by the monkey from "dora the explorer." >> i was going to say, we might have some issues legally. >> jimmy: he's got a lightsaber. he's writing that one down, i think he likes that one. >> i'm going to run it by legal. but yeah. >> jimmy: you don't have to run these by legal. >> okay. >> jimmy: okay.
11:54 pm
like chewbacca but in a bikini. >> uh-huh. >> guillermo: sexy. >> jimmy: you don't like it. what if we took the hair off completely and had an alopecia chewbacca? >> that could possibly be worse. >> jimmy: you love the idea, alopecia chewbacca. >> no, wasn't actually -- >> jimmy: it doesn't work? did i do the hand wrong? >> it's not the -- it's fictional, it doesn't -- >> guillermo: like this? >> no, it's not about -- >> jimmy: no? >> sure, yeah, yeah. >> jimmy: it is working? >> yeah, yeah, that's good. >> jimmy: i feel like the renderings -- maybe you need to see some of this stuff like for real. >> i feel like i got -- okay, yeah. >> jimmy: correct me if i'm wrong, you have three movies, you're going to need three endings. >> yeah. >> jimmy: one for each movie. >> sure, yeah, yeah. >> jimmy: we have an idea. you can use it for any of them. >> great. >> jimmy: i'd probably save it for the third movie. because you're not going to be able to top it. >> okay. >> jimmy: it's that good. >> great. >> jimmy: so close your eyes if you would.
11:55 pm
cover them. >> okay. >> jimmy: guillermo, the lights. get the thing. you're not looking, are you? >> i am not, no. >> jimmy: okay. ready? >> i'm very ready. >> jimmy: open your eyes. >> okay. >> jimmy: i give you -- yoda. 17 fighting yodas. yoda fighting his own self. times 17. isn't that awesome? and it would save you so much money. >> i can imagine. >> jimmy: you wouldn't have to do cgi or any of that stuff. >> right, it's all practical. >> jimmy: speaking of money how exactly would we work compensation? i guess we could maybe take a cut of the box office? maybe we could venmo? >> basically we could discuss -- [ cheers and applause ] >> guillermo: do you do parking validations? >> no. ♪ yoda yo-yo-yo yoda >> jimmy: i like all of it.

[ cheers and applause ] i have to say i was watching the movie from two years ago today. and i started getting excited because you know, with all the horrible stuff going on, it's exciting to have this to look forward to at the end of this year, it really is. like a positive thing that's happened because of you guys. and, well, thank you for doing that. >> escapist entertainment at its finest. >> jimmy: yes, that's right. [ cheers and applause ] >> we're in no reality zone so don't worry about that. >> jimmy: i can barely see adam down there. how are you? >> good, how are you? >> jimmy: it's unusual for me to interview the director and stars of a movie i haven't seen and we can't actually talk about.

12:04 am
anything like that? >> that would have been a nice idea. >> jimmy: it's not too late. it's really not too late. >> now you tell us. >> jimmy: we'll get you a hat, you can draw the names. this i think we know. this movie takes place right -- picks up right where "the force awakens" left off, is that correct? >> that's right. >> jimmy: is that something we can say? >> we can say that. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: so that movie ended, daisy, you were on a cliff with mark. >> a literal cliffhanger. >> jimmy: a literal cliffhanger, that's right. >> i love the visual pun. i'm standing on a cliff. >> jimmy: was that intentional? >> i hope so. [ laughter ] j.j. has a great sense of humor. i suggested they print "to be continued" on my forehead. but he said no, that's a bridge too far. >> jimmy: i see, okay. ?o is that where the movie picks or do you pick it up right there? >> we pick it up right after the events of the last movie. so yes. >> jimmy: you guys had to go back -- [ laughter ] to that spot. was that strange to go back to that spot after all that has happened? >> i actually never asked mark about this, when we did it first
12:05 am
time round, i was really sick. like i had adrenal exhaustion. i know for some of it, i don't know which bit of yours because we did it together, i was in a tent being sick. >> oh. >> trying to recreate it like, what was i doing that day? >> jimmy: jedi vomit coming out of you? >> yes. it was loud and forceful. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: whose idea was it to grow the beard? >> in the script it says he turns, removes his hood with white flowing hair and a white beard, it is luke skywalker. and i said, wait a minute. chronologically, if this follows "return of the jedi," i'm only in my early 50s, what's this methuselah look that you have planned for me? i don't color my hair but when i grow my beard, white comes out. i didn't want to wear a wig, those look dodgy. i said, let me grow the beard, if you're happy with the gray that i have, we'll go with that. that's what happened. i grew it out and i never heard -- >> jimmy: does a jedi use the
12:06 am
light saber to trim his beard? >> these are important questions. as a kid i thought, how does superman shave? >> jimmy: superman can't shave, and he can never have sex or he'd kill the person, right? >> they explained he uses his x-ray vision into a mirror which reflects and cuts the whiskers. >> jimmy: that's how he has sex? [ laughter ] that's weird, that's really weird. adam, i was thinking about it last night. no offense. but -- actually, this doesn't involve you. or your character. but for kyle renta to be such a bad guy, it means han solo and princess leia had to have been terrible parents. [ laughter ] like the menendez brothers had better parents. [ laughter ] for him to go to those lengths. i feel like that's a hole that hasn't been explained. >> i agree. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: like when you play a character like that, do children still want to like dress as you for halloween? or are they like, he's bad, he killed han solo, we don't like him? >> no, tha
12:07 am
is kids and halloween. especially my building, we have a lot of -- everybody in my building, in new york, has kids. so plying them with lightsabers and helmets is kind of my job. >> jimmy: you supply all that stuff and they reward you by coming to your door dressed as your character. extra candy when they do something like that? >> no. >> jimmy: that's what it is to be a bad guy. >> yeah. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: is jedi in the title of this film singular or plural? >> you go right for the throat, don't you. [ laughter ] who put you up to this? in my mind singular, in my mind it referred to luke. luke skywalker as the last jedi. >> jimmy: you're the writer. in your mind -- >> when i say my mind, i don't know what else i'm talking about. but yeah, i guess. i guess, yes. >> jimmy: it's not jedi -- would there be two is at the end of jedi? >> jedii.
12:08 am
to anyone on any of these chairs? [ laughter ] >> rian? mark? no? >> i'm not telling. no -- it's this whole saga is about family. a dysfunctional family. >> jimmy: like "this is us" in space, in a way. [ laughter ] >> yeah, so i mean, you think you have bad relatives, imagine how i felt when i realized he was dad vader. you know? >> jimmy: and how -- >> i thought i was a nice, nurturing -- in my mind i was a great uncle to ben solo. and i feel tremendous guilt that i wasn't there for him. >> jimmy: yeah, nobody was there phew. about a nefarious ned. >> jimmy: when you did -- i don't know -- a lot of people probably don't remember. but when darth vader said "i am your father," it was like -- i remember being in the theater and feeling shock an
12:09 am
and it was really the ultimate spoiler. we didn't have the internet back then. so people couldn't spread it around. how long did you have to keep that secret? >> oh, well over a year and a half. the first one, nobody cared. you know, when they gave me "star wars," i gave it to my friends to read. i said, this is really goofy, you should read this. they said, can i give to it sheila? sure! nobody cared. but now with "empire," "star wars" became a thing. and when i read the script, there was a placeholder for that moment which was an attempt to keep the secret even from the cast and crew. because at that moment in the screenplay, it's just as you see it. but the revelation is, when vader says "you don't know the truth, obi-wan killed your father." and i say scream no! just like you see it, that's not true, that's impossible, the hand, so forth. and i thought, what an amazing twist!
12:10 am
sir alec guinness is the ultimate bad guy! and the director said, i want to see you after shooting, which is scary. it's like your teacher -- >> i'll save that line. >> you're in for it now. >> jimmy: after you shot the scene? >> no, before we shot the scene. he said, i'm going to tell you something that i know, george knows -- george lucas -- and when i tell you, you'll know. because if it leaks, we'll know it's you. [ laughter ] and i said, what, what, what? he said, we're going to put in this line. he gave me the piece of paper that said "i am your father." and i was just like you, i was just stunned. i thought, well, as good as guinness being the bad guy, this is even -- i said, is this true? and he said, well, search your feelings. you know, it was shocking. but i have to tell you, within three days of shooting that scene, there were tabloid news reporters that would hang around in pubs down the street from l
12:11 am
notes. got anything on "star wars"? come on, we need some "star wars". within three days -- it wasn't a big -- it was a little box on the front of the tabloid that said, "guinness head batty in "star wars" 2." in england, batty is what they use for villain, and there's no title, just "star wars 2." and i was delighted because they leaked the wrong information. the thing is it was torturous. for a year and a half i was really nervous that i'd slip up or talk in my sleep or something. it was a real burden. i'm really proud because by the time we saw the screening and it happened, everybody, even in the screening that had worked on the film and the cast was there too, were stunned. harrison turned around, he was sitting right in front of me, he said, "hey, kid. you didn't [ bleep ]."

[ cheers and applause ] you wear a lot of armor on "game of thrones" also. is this like a knight? which armor is more uncomfortable? >> i do have to say and rian is staring at me. it's like two pitchforks going into my heart. but i would say that captain fasma is a more comfortable armor. it is a little bit like wearing a car. [ laughter ] but then i saw that captain fasma has been made into a car. >> jimmy: really? >> there's a captain fasma car, yeah. so you can drive me. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: i hope it has air conditioning. andy, you're also -- you've been in -- thinking about you today, i was thinking about you've been in m

i'll never forget not only being welcomed by this amazing family, but one day on set rian said, laura, a fan wants to say hi. i remember turning around. and i was like, chewbacca! and i started crying. i felt slightly embarrassed that i was weeping as he hugged me. >> jimmy: what does chewbacca smell like? [ laughter ] >> amazing. >> jimmy: you mentioned the action figures. i don't think it's fair that the actors' characters get action figures and the director, who does a lot of work, doesn't. hasbro, we ask kenner but they said no. hasbro came up with a rian action figure.
