and now, here's jimmy kimmel! [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: hi, everyone. i'm jimmy. i'm the host of the show. thank you for watching. thanks to all of you for coming. i know some of you have been waiting in line since early this morning. [ cheers and applause ] thank you -- hey. i'm glad you're here. i'm glad you're excited. welcome to our "star wars: the force awakens" special. as yoda would say, glad i am that here are you. and i am. i tell you something. if i could go back in time and tell my 10-year-old self that one day you'll be hosting a special "star wars" show on tv, i don't know. there's a man in my bedroom. [ laughter ]

wars: the force awakens," carrie fisher, john boyega, adam driver, daisy ridley, harrison ford and chewbacca, and the creative force behind the force, director j.j. abrams. [ cheers and applause ] i've known j.j. for quite a while but i learned something today i did not know. did you know j.j. stands for jamba juice? [ laughter ] his legal name is jamba juice abrams. "the force awakens" is the seventh movie in the "star wars" story. the last things we saw in the "star wars" universe when we left off, our heroes, as you may recall, were dancing on endor with a village of ewoks. now, this one picks up the party when luke wakes up and realizes he got drunk and had sex with two of them. [ laughter ] disney's done a good job of keeping the details of the film under wraps and because of that the internet has been flooded with all manner of creative theories. a lot of fans are wondering why the posters or the promotional materials.

that he's in exile, maybe he went to the dark side. some people think he was transformed into the villain kylo ren who's played by adam driver, and i figured something out that i think is very interesting. i think it's something people are going to talk about. the name kylo ren, put that up on the screen. if you rearrange the letters, it spells yonkler. [ laughter ] is that not something? okay. well, i'll ask j.j. about it and we'll find out if it's something. this is the most anticipated sequel since -- i think since the new testament really. [ laughter ] according to the marketing people at disney, 70% of "star wars" ticket holders, people who men between the ages of 18 and 49. now, most "star wars" fans are male, but to try to bring in the they're specifically targeting and this new trailer i think does a very good job of sending the message that "star wars" is for everyone.

in all the wrong places. without a man she was no one. >> i'm no one. >> but in a galaxy of bad guys one young storm trooper was on the same journey. their way or what handsome older gentleman distracted her, sometimes the greatest force of all is love. look at the stars look how they shine for you [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: a cantina. and the rest is history. "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

in this special "star wars" edition of "lie witness 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. he'd cover for his people and all that. i feel like he'd be a good person. >> do you agree with admiral akbar's statement that entering the conflict in endor could be a trap? >> it's a trap! >> so you think it's worth entering endor? >> yeah. sure. >> and you agree ewoks need foreign intervention to survive this conflict? >> definitely. >> earlier today boeba fet fell into an unguarded sarlak pit. do you think it's time for the government to regulate the sarlak pit safety? >> yeah. i think it is pretty much that time. >> do you believe the frigid

experiencing on hoth are mankind's doing or is climate change not our fault? >> it's a very good question. which would lead you guys to know you that should never believe anything you should know. which means to research. so therefore, what you need to do is go ahead and look up hearth. what you need to do is look for 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. >> and why is that? >> because there's a lot of other forces involved. to blame just one single thing is not -- i don't think that's accurate. i don't think that's fair. >> do you think count duku could have done more to avoid the clone wars? >> yeah. >> in your opinion, did emperor palpatine have the authority to execute mace windu? >> i do not.

>> from what i see in the news that's my opinion. >> do you think fox news is too soft on emperor papaltine? >> 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 frozen in 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 hutt dynasty. jabba the hutt was actually the first to do it. but do you think we -- >> wasn't he from "star wars"? >> different guy. they named the "star wars" guy after him. >> all right. these questions are all about "star wars," i've only just realized. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: we have a great show. not only are j.j. abrams and the cast of the new movie here

[ applause ] great. i'll wear this if everyone else wears it and not on their head. like they could sort of [ bleep ] me to get me. >> jimmy: what's going on out there? can she hear us? >> why am i even on this? which jimmy is this? the bearded one that lives in

>> jimmy: no, no. carrie? carrie? can you hear me? hello. hello. >> oh. did i -- did i butt dial? >> jimmy: yeah.

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: okay. >> you want me to wear it, though? >> jimmy: yeah. would you mind wearing the wig? >> oh, come on. so much that i would rather anyone went to [ bleep ] themselves. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: oh, well -- all right. well, i'll see you in a little while then. okay, bye. [ cheers and applause ]

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 comes to actually a number of subjects. here's a little -- we put a little montage together to show you how smart he is. >> are you a genius? >> yeah. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: who's that guy? >> warren g. harding. he was one of our worst presidents. >> jimmy: he was one of the worst? >> that does not have south 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 the periodic table? >> 118. >> jimmy: and you know -- >> all of them. >> jimmy: you know all of them. >> barium, lampidium, curium. promethium, samarium -- >> jimmy: we get it. you're embarrassing me now. [ 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 wars," the kid or the cast

answer is the kid. because the character has been around for so long, we kind of take the voice of chewbacca for granted, but the way chewbacca 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? try to sound like you're kind of in pain? but it turns out the voice of chewbacca is everywhere. in fact, we combed the internet, put this together. these are videos shot by people who somehow found the sweet sound of chewbacca all around them every day. [ chewbacca noises ]

[ 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 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 outside? you know, excuse me, i need to see what's happening. i'll be right back. [ siren ] >> jumper. >> jimmy: oh, no. can i have that? i know him. chewbacca. it's jimmy kimmel. don't do this.

>> [ chewbacca noises ]. >> jimmy: i can't understand you. >> [ chewbacca noises ]. >> jimmy: again i can't understand you. >> jimmy, what's going on? [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: oh, hey. it's chewbacca. he's going to jump. >> oh. good. >> jimmy: no, no, no, no. not good. not good. what do you mean good? no, bad. this is bad. that's your friend. do something. >> shut your wookie grunt hole, will you? don't give me that! you made a choice! >> [ chewbacca noises ]. >> 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

>> 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? >> there are 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. working on this thing. but you know, it's also -- it's 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.

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. and kathleen kennedy 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 talking about it and i just felt 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: yeah. sure. and if it goes poorly you will regret it for the rest of your life. >> this is true. >> jimmy: how many people have seen the movie, from beginning to end? >> 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'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 of fun to watch with a crowd. >> 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. you just don't -- you just don't know. when we did the star trek film we hadn't seen it with an audience and we were in sydney, australia. and at the opera house. and there were just thousands of people there. 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 an audience. and when it was over they gave an incredibly generous ovation. it was like a two-minute-long thing. but during the movie you just don't know until you've gone through it. so it's terrifying. >> jimmy: are fans of the "star wars" movies more aggressive than the fans of the "star trek" --

and because i have always, since i was a little kid, counted myself among them, i'm not going to disparage them and say anything bad about them. i think they're fantastic. >> jimmy: i'm not looking for you -- >> but they do frighten 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 you, i had nothing to do with it. and i'm grateful that we're in the same club. 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.

>> jimmy: you'll maybe even ruin their lives. i don't know. 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. [ laughter ] but neither was guillermo. it was guillermo? >> i really can't wait for you 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. let's hope everybody feels that same way. now, what i would love to do is to get a little bit of something what i mean by that -- i don't mean a liquid.

like for instance, 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. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: look at it. >> oh, my god. >> jimmy: i told them to be ready. it's a good thing they were able to spell this one. [ laughter ] now, if you rearrange these letters you can spell sith. does that mean anything? sorry, i've been playing a lot of scrabble. i don't know what's going on with me. >> you're mr. anagram. >> jimmy: you brought a clip with you. does it need to be set up? >> essentially all you need to know is this is very early on in the movie and these two characters, rey and finn, have just met and he was a storm trooper and abandoned his post and she is a scavenger in the desert of a place called jacu

being pursued. >> jimmy: a clip from "star wars: the force awakens." >> we can't outrun them! >> we might. in that quad jumper. >> we need a pilot. >> we've got one. >> you? [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: that must have cost a fortune. when we come back, j.j. abrams is going to stick with us and we'll get to meet your cast. the cast of "star wars: the

uncle dan, what did you get us? for what? oh... you didn't get them anything, did you? yea. yea we did. yea we did. look how happy your nieces are with my gifts! bought a million things, probably spent a fortune. no! it's all old navy, they're having a huge sale this weekend, everything is half priced. guess what, that's where we're on our way to! you're welcome. thank you for everything... you're very welcome... for the presents we're going to get you, at old navy. old navy was my idea! you're looking at my presents! we have a plan to get more presents! it's gonna make your head explode! you are lying! we'll do it online! we're gonnapgo get in line!

thanks for coming. great to have you here. so let me just go around and talk about how -- the moment you found out that you were going to be in the movie and the security surrounding that. >> i was like 19. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: how about you, daisy? you're also like 19. >> i was at the theater, and i hadn't been able to watch the first half because i was desperately trying to get in touch with j.j. because i didn't know how to call the u.s. i had to google it, all sorts of things. >> jimmy: you were at a play. oh. >> yeah. >> jimmy: i see. >> so he told me. and obviously i wasn't there for the whole first half. and i had to go back in for the second half and not tell the guy i was with. and it was "oedipus rex." so it was long. >> jimmy: because it was a secret and you didn't trust him. does he now know you were keeping that from him during the play? >> no. >> jimmy: he does not. maybe he now does. adam, were you shooting "girls"

>> yeah. it was the last day of the second season of "girls" and i got a call, do you want to meet j.j. and talk about "star wars"? yeah. yeah, i would. then it was just months of meeting and making, you know -- weighing it and taking time considering it. then jumping on board. >> jimmy: and you couldn't tell anybody for how long? >> i feel like i still haven't i didn't tell my wife anything. >> jimmy: tell john because he's and he should know what's going on. >> j.j. spoiled it for my -- he assumed i told her everything but i didn't tell her. >> jimmy: oh, really? >> i really get into it. >> it's my fault. >> jimmy: now you know you can trust adam. john, how about you? when you found this out, where was it? >> i was in a basement somewhere waiting for seven months to try and hear whether i got the part or not. and j.j. released me from absolute -- >> jimmy: he had you in captivity? >> i was literally just waiting at home to see if j.j. would give me the part and he sent me an e-mail telling me to come to mayfair and meet him. i met him and larry kasdan.

it was a good day. [ applause ] >> jimmy: who was the first person you told this news? >> i told my agent, femy. but i think the most interesting thing was telling my dad. i went home and was like dad, i've just been cast in "star and he was like, "oh, my god! you are in "star wars"? that is fantastic. i knew it. what is "star wars"?" [ applause ] >> he didn't know. >> jimmy: all your families had to be excited. did you pump carrie for information about the things that went on? a lot of crazy things went on in the original "star wars" movies. >> yeah. of a lot of those crazy things. >> i started most of them. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: when you go back to playing the part of princess have to like go back and look at of -- >> and feel bad about how i've aged? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: well -- yes. >> that's what i do at night. night. >> puts me to sleep.

>> jimmy: i see. i have a photograph here. this is the -- is this the first >> yeah. that's what it was. >> jimmy: and j.j., looks like you had it in an ikea or something like that. >> we were on a stage at the studio, pinewood. >> jimmy: this is the first time you all got together? >> yep. >> jimmy: and you went through the script. by the way, did you give the script to the actors? >> yeah, j.j., did you? >> no, he didn't. >> not to carrie. [ laughter ] the actors had the script. but that was an amazing thing to see everyone together for the first time. because we had everyone in separate different rooms for months and then all of a sudden we put them all together and we were like crossing our fingers it would go well. and it was kind of an electric amazing time. >> jimmy: when you have the script in your hands are you nervous about losing it? >> absolutely. i have to say, through the audition process we didn't get to take the script home. so we had to go to pinewood and learn our lines and then go home. i felt like i was living a double life, like batman. it was a real situation. so to have the script on the read-through --

>> i did. >> and john came in like eight or nine times to audition. it was a long process. >> thank you, j.j. >> jimmy: eight or nine times? >> yeah, it was a long process. i feel guilty. >> jimmy: adam, you are in a helmet in the clips we've seen from the movie. do we ever see your face? because otherwise anybody really could have been you, i guess, huh? [ laughter ] you didn't even need to go. >> i don't know. i don't know if i can say. amazing because there were certain things where in theory there for a shot or two but adam single shot. he was incredible. not a storm trooper but a trouper. [ laughter ] and daisy, for you this is your first thing, right? this is -- >> jimmy: i imagine you're of course excited but like are you fully aware of what you're in >> i don't know. it's kind of been a process this year. like obviously i've never had people going can you sign a

but i'm just pleased to be part of the film and whatever else comes is cool. >> jimmy: yeah, right. are you all signed for other movies, for the future films? >> don't know what you're talking about. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: i really feel like i can't get -- carrie, you'll tell me everything. what happens at the end of the movie? [ laughter ] oh, no. what? really? that's a hell of a lightsaber battle.
