This consists of interviews(new and old) with the cast and crew, all of whom have something compelling to add within their area of expertise(and there is a very clear love of what they're working on), clips from the subject, behind-the-scenes footage, and incomplete effects shots.
It's 126 minutes(or just over 2 hours) long, the last two being end credits but with footage over it. This is found on Disney Plus, as an extra for The Rise of Skywalker. It spoils a lot of the title, and so will this review, so that I can go into more detail
They talk about the magic of the franchise. Completing the third trilogy. Expectations. Everyone's jobs. Making it Leia's story. Using the footage they had from Awakens. Being respectful. Building it around Fisher(RIP), and remembering her. The training where Lourd plays her real-life mother. Martial arts. Choreography. The intense Eunice Huthart. Examining the evil that we humans can engage in. The Emperor. Fixing the helmet. Sally Guiness. Richard E. Grant. Domhnall Gleeson. Screwing up takes because of dialog. Threepio getting a better role. The massive celebration. Aki-Akis. How to work in a desert. Explosions. The sinking sand. Giant snake. The Force Dyad. Shooting practical, instead of on a green screen. Emotionally straining material. The duel in Kijimi. Zori, and her shared past. John Williams, his talent and humility. Babu Frik, the puppeteering, voice. Bugs. Setting scenes in the aftermath of the OT. Struggling with the blade. Creating a sound design fit for a creepy haunted house. Figuring out how the throne room collapsed. Rey's past revealed. The spraying of water. Han appearing. Raising the X-Wing out of the water, to bring things full circle. Poe taking over. The spiky shadow. Ben Solo. Sliding off the Star Destroyers. The horses. Putting a camera on the wing. Denis Lawson. How bittersweet it is that it's over. Cycles. Handing on legacy.
I recommend this to any fan of the property. 8/10.
