The Creator of the Lightsaber Roger Christian Interview - Rule of Two

[@raquelperez3329]

Luke Skywalker’s original lightsaber!!!!!! Thank you Theory and Marc for all of the interviews

[@PixelKatana]

You guys are killing it. Every interview I think to myself "this is the best one yet" and the next one surpasses it. Please keep it up

[@nickw4368]

This really was the best yet! I cannot believe they can get people this close to George, who knows what else is possible with the rule of two.

[@starforce6699]

I just interviewed Dave filoni

[@HunterHonda]

That moment at 57:02 when he looked for the saber and then said " you're in luck..." I got *SO* excited, then I saw Theory's face, and realized we all were sharing that excitement =) I love Star Wars....

[@marceladiaz9374]

Thanks to this comment I watched the entire video anticipated the end. 😊

[@MR_T__94]

These interviews are great and insightful from the OG lucasfilm employee’s! Thanks Marc and Theory! Keep it up fellas!

Has Theory relocated his soul? I believe it left his body...

Holy cow. Roger Christain put so much thought and effort behind all the props he made. His artistic vision is a huge part of what made Star Wars work.

[@benji5669]

"This is a weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or random as a blaster. An elegant weapon for a more civalized age" - Obi Wan Kenobi I know that on the top of my head!

[@KingAdeft]

What a wonderful conversation. I am always blown away by these talks. As a writer this stuff is so so so interesting. We are so fortunate to be able to see and listen to this stuff. Thank you so much Theory and Marc. Just amazing work you guys are doing. Roger was such an interesting person to hear from. Theory, I hope you know how much we love these. It's such a treat. Like I said, as a writer this stuff is like gold.

[@jacobp249]

These guys from the older era who worked with George are just amazing storytellers and have such a wealth of knowledge. This may be the best interview yet!

[@nickc1993]

Wow what an awesome dude. I love that he speaks so genuinely about all of this. Especially not being afraid to mention how Disney didn't respect the hero's journey in the sequels. I wouldn't be surprised if Disney tries to cancel him one day

[@MichaSennin]

they will not do anything to him. He is a good man who had a huge impact on popcultur and created the most iconic weapon ever shown on film. He is someone who can say anything he wants without being cancelled. He is well respected and people know he is a good guy. he is an eldery too. Disney would be stupid to make a move or censor him.

[@jedijones]

@@MichaSennin They're pretty stupid though.

[@luccyanoarrojo3412]

Theory, this is the best interview so far, Mr. Christian is such a cool guy. Def bring him more often

[@DaveOnTheWave90]

What an interview! Absolute pleasure! Loving the way you guys approach the interview and the moment Roger went for the original Laser Sword was absolute GOLD!! Greetings from Zurich, Switzerland and keeeeep it up guys

[@CharliePennell]

This truly was a treat. What an absolutely wonderful and joyful interview. Roger seems like an excellent person, and what a career. Thank you Theory & Marc for continuing to bring these incredible interviews!!

[@acgregg759]

Thank you Marc and Theory. These interviews are awesome. It feels really important to hear the perspectives of those who were involved in the George Lucas movies as we are approaching a decade of Disney Star Wars.

[@ronc166]

My heart dropped, when he pulled out the original light saber.

[@matthewharris4935]

my heart skipped a beat!

[@zynnertime1]

He created literally the most iconic film memorabilia in history

[@Ivan_Berni]

Hey, Theory, thanks for this, you are literally doing more for the fandom than the big mouse.

[@WhiskeyShred]

I always thought Mark doesn’t get enough credit for his Lightsaber skills in ESB... He got so good and so fit. I’ve seen photos where he looks like he’s so in shape and in that warrior mind..reminds me of Bruce Lee..

[@Ruylopez778]

Yes, Hamill always strikes me as a major movie and pop culture geek. I bet he studied Errol Flynn etc. Of course, Bob Anderson stood in for David Prowse in the duel, and I suppose choreography is all about playing to the actor's strengths to make them look as good as possible, but I agree when you watch Hamill practising, he is so focused - that was all his hard work, not editing or trickery.

[@Ruylopez778]

@keep your stupid comments in your pocket I haven't heard that but it makes a lot of sense, just by how much effort the actors put into the training, and of course Ray already having experience. I imagine it's like a dance partner; if you have one expert, then the novice (Ewan) can extend themselves beyond what would normally be possible for a novice. For me, I just feel like the PT fights are where the technology allowed them to reach their limit, and the OT fights, Lucas told Luke to think of the lightsaber like a heavy sword because of the limitations of the technology. So a technical limitation became an aesthetic choice, if you see what I mean. But I enjoy all the fights from 1-6 equally.

[@nickw4368]

Theory I love that you take us back to the good old days of star wars. These interviews are what we needed. I really like seeing you and Marc so happy. Keep doing your thing

[@jaredbenge577]

This is crazy, a true legend from the behind the scenes footage of The Phantom Menace for sure

[@ANA-il6js85]

This was such a great interview, i could listen to this man for hours. That part about Jake Loyd really made me sad. As a small town teenage girl i was mocked for loving star wars, especially the prequels. Now im 35 and i still get laughed at. So im glad that this kind of channel exist. Keep up the good work. May the force be with you from far away Croatia. 😉

[@rodneydungan8965]

What an interesting conversation. Roger is such a positive person. Bought the book off the bat. I'm an OT fan...because I'm old, but I loved The Phantom Menace when it came out. Jar Jar was fun for children and thought Jake Lloyd did a beautiful job. TPM was epic.

These streams have been absolutely amazing recently. Love the interviews with not only Legends but with other fans as well. One of the best channel’s on KZbin no doubt.

Awesome interview. Yeah. The backlash broke George’s heart.

[@m.i.n.k.y.m.o.o.]

Guys- this series is a stroke of bloody genius!! Really disney or the lucas museum should be collating all these oral histories. I am REALLY enjoying these. Wouldn’t it be amazing to have Marsha do an interview!

[@bootootheduck]

Amazing! shattered it ended. Could have watched that for hours. Thanks all!

[@saschagames123]

As a long time Star Wars fan and fan of your channel, thank you for this series of interviews!

[@ZahnHahn]

This interview with Roger Christian was amazing! Never knew Roger Christian was responsible for the lightsaber’s physical appearance. One of my favorite episodes. So many good parts. I especially enjoyed Mr. Christian’s experiences with Lucas and friends. Thanks to Theory and Marc for sharing this interview with the fans!

[@tylermcneill77]

A huge thank you to you guys! You are spending your own money to give fans great content when there isn't much going on Star Wars wise. I really hope these are getting the views they deserve! One day, I am sure of it, George is on there with you guys, in person!

[@joshuajohnson1796]

Its amazing almost every person you guys interview from the original trilogy or prequels tell better creative ideas than all of the sequels lol

[@epicfannerd2145]

This is honestly such an interesting interview! The star wars and Alien movies are some of my favorites and it has some of my favorite props.

[@arcturionblade1077]

Excellent interview! The sheer joy and enthusiasm that all three of you have for the Star Wars franchise, it's just beautiful to behold. Hearing his stories definitely brought me back to my younger years as a kid who loved the films. When the original Graflex lightsaber was brought out, all our collective jaws dropped!

[@Ruylopez778]

Loved how casually Roger named dropped some of the most iconic movies and creators of all time, and for shining a light on some of the names who don't get enough recognition, and just so happened to have one of the original lightsaber props in his office. Looking forward to future interviews and hopefully the return of Roger and his documentary! Stories from behind the scenes like these are more exciting than the sequels for me. Great points about Watto, as well, and Jar Jar as Buster Keaton. He also confirmed what JW Rinzler has said, that SW had many layers to it below the 'simple' story, which was thrilling to hear! Tired of people dismissing Lucas' movies as 'simple'.

[@NoahVincentBlatterTheSwagDude]

Awesome interview Theory, keep it up man! Someday George himself will be on the show.

[@jedijones]

Great interview and amazing cameo by an original lightsaber. Remember, everyone, the OT made it clear that the Force is passed down through genetics. "My father has it, my sister has it." It is something that's simply out there that anyone can tap into equally. Therefore, there MUST be a physical explanation for how the Force transfers from one family member to another. George certainly couldn't make it simply about genes, as that's not imaginative at all. His explanation is a little more akin to "good bacteria," i.e. a symbiotic living organism that lives inside human beings. The idea that you can psychically engage with this invisible lifeform to manipulate the Force through them is an incredibly interesting sci-fi concept. They are a lower lifeform who is more in touch with the origin of life than the further evolved human beings, hence people can benefit from having a symbiotic relationship with them.
