Ask Adam Savage: Thoughts About Galaxy's Edge
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 чер 2024
- Did Adam's sons discover Star Wars on their own, or was it always a part of their lives? If Adam could build a Star Wars room, what would the theme be? What does Adam think of Galaxy's Edge? Would Adam have stayed at ILM if MythBusters hadn't come along? In this excerpt from our May the Fourth live stream, Adam answers these questions from Tested members Sean Vedell, Ian Kellogg, James May and David Marden relating to Star Wars.

Someone from Disney needs to take Adam on a tour of galaxies edge after hours
I actually know one of the architects at Disney.
Universal is building an entire new park in Orlando too. It'll have Super Nintendo World, Classic Monsters, How to Train Your Dragon and Fantastic Beasts with more expansion pads.
So they're 100% going to double down on immersive experiences.
I really hope we'll get to see _"Adam Savage incognito as Chewbacca at Galaxy's Edge"_ someday :)
Disney could do some major PR inviting Adam as Chewbacca to film a highlight reel of Galaxy's Edge.
Us too!
I was just going to comment this. He could do a wheres adam savage. Hiding in any one of his many starwars costumes
@@tested guests at galaxys edge are not allowed to wear costumes. They do make exceptions around Halloween, but otherwise they enforce the ban pretty strick
I believe children under 14vare allowed in costume , adults and older children are
allowed to wear some star wars inspired clothing , but no Jedi robes or costume pieces.
As a career, I am in facilities maintenance. So when I enter a building I look at all the pieces that make up a commercial space. Light fixtures. Exit signs, HVAC equipment, fire sprinklers, etc... When I went to Galaxys Edge I could not, as much as I tried, find ANY OF THIS. It was that immersive! Everything was superbly camouflaged. Every square inch of EVERYTHING was Star Wars. Down to rust drips on every bolt and rivet. It was the most incredible attraction/experience I've ever been to.
At Galaxies edge you are allowed to dress, generically, like you are sorta in universe but no full costumes, no specific characters and no masks. For adults, kids can do what they want because of course they can, it’s Disneyland/world. But adults they don’t want doing it because they have paid staff doing it and want it safe and controlled.
Now I’m sure if you asked, given your fame, they’d let you walk around as Chewbacca if you asked
To expand: basically, they don't want someone coming dressed up as one of the characters that they have in the park and then having kids think that that person *is* that character and having a bad experience because of that. Like, "Oh, Rapunzel got drunk and started puking on someone" or something.
Personally I punched people who came to Slipknot concerts dressed like slipknot in the pit. I would assume that wearing costumes to theme parks matching the costume is equally as dumb.
One of the times I went to Galaxy's Edge in Disney World, I wore Star Wars-ish clothing like what you'd see regular civilians wear. I had a jacket that kind of looks like a Rebel jacket, cargo pants, lightsaber clipped to my belt, etc. I had so many other guests constantly asking me for directions, thinking that I worked there. Fortunately I know my way around, so every time was like "I don't work here but yeah, it's over there"
@@VegetaLF7 We are planning a family trip to the Galactic Star Cruiser in 2022(whenever it opens) and the plan is to put together outfits for our two days onboard. Like you not specific characters but that sorta smuggler style. Cargo pants, maybe a jacket with a cool color streak. Should be fun
At Universal, in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, you can wear exact replica costumes down to the smallest detail and they won't stop you
My wife has promised me if we win Powerball, I can turn out basement into the interior of the Millennium Falcon. I think it will happen even if we don't win.
Right on
Eh, while I would LOVE to buy a warehouse and build a Sci-Fi space ship set in it, then live in the set full time, I don't think I would replicate any specific IP out there. I think I'd want to build my universe and lore while building the ship. Of course, part of that would be using the ship as a set in some sort of creative project on the web. (Yeah, I'm one of THOSE dungeon masters.)
Then again, I also want to build a house that looks like a Victorian styled railroad station, complete with eight foot wide porches running the length of the house and real track on the property. Sadly, I haven't won the Powerball yet, so these are just dreams in the pipeline of Things That May Yet Come.
Maybe if you do the basement first, the Powerball will follow 😉
I love how it sounds like Adam would still have had an amazing and fulfilling career even without Mythbusters. It feels good in a way to know that even though we would never have known him, he would have still been incredibly happy.
The minute I walked into Galaxy’s Edge Disney world Hollywood studios I immediately felt like I was really in a Star Wars movie and I stayed there the whole day. Also to note I barely did anything there but look around (due to time and little money) and still felt fully immersed they did an amazing job 🤩
Going to watch the Close Encounters scene to appreciate their work that much more.
Thanks Adam for all your insight to a world most of us don't know. Man I'd loved to be a part of that!!!
You put an equal amount of energy into audience maintenance as content. Thank you for the great stories that make me reflect on the point of view you reveal. Way more than entertainment going on here. ✌
James May?
THE James May?
Cheese.
Captain Slow, present and ready, sir.
Galaxy's Edge is great. I think Adam would be impressed by the fidelity of the Falcon in Smuggler's Run. It is a shame about the cosplay, although that will apparently be encouraged at the Galactic Starcruiser.
Not encouraged as Disney needs to be able to know who is and isn’t a Cast member so they’ll have costumes for guests.
I imagine if Adam hadn't done Mythbusters, he would've either started his own effects shop or gone to work for Weta for a time. Maybe even both.
When you do go to Galaxy's edge. You totally have to vlog it!! It would be great to see your experience.
And show how few people bother to go there :P
That "Hand hewn" aspect of Practical Effects, and the flying-by-the-seat-of-yoir-pants aspects, are what I think I loved most, about doing Effects in the late 90s. It's also one of the things That made me a Guillermo del Toro fan: I worked on "Mimic" at a time when Creature Shops were losing gigs left and right to CG houses that couldn't produce results half as good as we could, simply because to technology wasn't there yet, but the studios were all "SQUIRREL!-ing at the Shiny New Toy. In the middle of that came Mimic, in which del Toro was usung the WHOLE bag of trucks, going all the way back to Méliès. On his instruction, I actually put a three-day-old filet of Dover Sole in a trash bag with the "Dead Boy" puppet, to get a visceral reaction from the cast. I searched three counties for chicken guts, pig guts, fish guts, and cow guts, and even scrounged crab parts, to make things happen. Del Toro STILL insists on using the WHOLE spectrum of techniques, which is a big reason I pay to see his movies.
I love how at 6:30 he is pretty much describing the origin of a future Westworld.
Love you Adam!! Greetings from México!
I love the falcon cockpit thread on theRPF. so much talent and dedication.
Adam is correct about the continued immersion from theme parks: Super Nintendo World seems like it's going to be another prime example.
As someone who went to Galaxy’s Edge during Life Day, I can definitely attest to the amazing immersion of the land. From the land and both the cast and the guests.
I decided my life was complete when I got to take the Millennium Falcon to light speed at Galaxy's Edge. Yep. Everything else after that is gravy.
Yup. My first time there during the preview. First spot on the ship. Right Pilot. Never forget that.
If your life was complete you wouldn't fell the need to show off like this!
You need to get a grip!
@@StedeBonnett Right pilot is the best seat on the ride for the sole reason you get to pull the levers to jump into hyperspace. We've all wanted to do that and I had the biggest stupid grin on my face when I first did it
I crashed it so hard because my team didn't want to do their parts. At least I taped our epic fail.
@@lothean2099 One of the times I went on it, my co-pilot handling the up and down flying couldn't figure out what he was doing. We were either scraping our belly or grinding away our backs on nearly every surface we could, and if we had to duck under or over an obstacle, we instead went right through it. Plus side, I kept our lateral motion pretty much centered on our target the whole time, so there was that at least.
You're so inspiring!
Glad I got the Millennium Falcon right - I was nervous for a second. 💎
I want a hug from R2, now; feel like I'm missing out.
Thanks for answering my question. I think I showed my son Star Wars once and fifteen minutes in I knew he'd be going down the rabbit hole all by himself. You just have to enable them.
love all your content 🖖
The stuff they are coming up with for the immersion into the new Star Wars hotel they are coming out with here in Orlando, where you are literally on board a starcruiser for two days, sounds so amazing.
Though I knew a Falcon cockpit would be Adam's thing, I have a dream to one day make a simulated Emperor's Throne Room as a meditation chamber, so I can sit and watch the stars and a quiet animation of spaceships flying past the big round window.
Warner Bros in Abu Dhabi is a completely indoor park which means that Gotham is dark and gritty and full of neon lights while you go through a tunnel and Metropolis is consistently at dawn with tall white buildings and a clean upright feeling. Highly recommend going when travel is more possible.
I hop Adam gets to ride Rise of the Resistance at Galaxy’s Edge one day. It’s the most amazing and immersive ride to date. I was lucky enough to snag a reservation while on vacation in March and it was incredible.
lol, instantly said Millennium Falcon Cockpit RIGHT before you said it. 100% agree.
Speaking of fans and cosplaying at a venue... if you look at what has been going on in the renaissance festival fandom, you have a group (called playtrons) at my home faire... for decades, the costuming (garbing) has increased in quality available to average attendees. Several garb clothing companies (small businesses like Unicorn Clothing) are selling garment quality (every day use, not once a year) items that look great... I don't think it makes the experience less to have playtrons taking a full on day-trip into the universe, and given how people react at an average renaissance festival, I think it would enhance the experiences.
8:19 - 8:32 👏 👏
That was my daily recommended value of common sense. 😀
and the whole thing with the movie industry fighting against releasing covid vaccine patents
@@juliettaylorswift the hell?
I introduced my kids to Star Wars before they could talk. I had the VHS tapes of the original trilogy as soon as they were released...before I even owned.my own VHS player, and watched them during my kids'whole lives.
And we went to the Harry Potter book release parties in costume. I wish we lived near Galaxy's Edge!
When I walked into galaxys edge for the first time in 2019... I nearly wept from excitement and joy. Its like I waited my whole life for that moment.
Harry Potter land not so much. But I am biased so... yeah.
Noticed the strap thingy for tennis elbow, have you tried a flex bar. I suffered for years and a few weeks of flex bar knocked it right out. I feel like I need to say I’m not a robot or an ad. It worked for me. Just tryin to help you out.
When my wife and I walked into Galaxy’s Edge, I was so excited, I was tearing up.
Then...we walked around.....and there it was, The Millenium Falcon....I had wanted to see it all my life. Top 20 moment all-time.
Disney has a policy against cosplay, to some degree.
Watching my toddler totally enraptured by the first live action TMNT movie and Hook makes me so happy.
Thank you for switching from "Franchise" to "narrative". It's the difference between reiterating and reinforcing corporate culture to speaking about human experience in a human way.
"I'm much more interested in the aesthetic of a Rebel space as opposed to an Imperial space, because look around me! Chockablock aesthetic is my jam!"
And yet... the first footage we get of Adam & fam experiencing Rise of the Resistance is going to be SOOOOO EPIC...
(Not that his stint on the Falcon won't be also!!!)
I can now imagine a cosplayer having to deal with a Karen at Galaxy's Edge.
[Jedi hand wave]
"This isn't the validation you're looking for. You should mind your own business. Move along."
love
Was that the James May from Top Gear / The Grand Tour????
As a local near Batuu East, I can help answer questions about Galaxy's Edge/ theme park immersion/ Wizarding World of Harry Potter/ etc. Feel free to leave a reply if there's anything you're curious about.
Galaxy's Edge is super cool, definitely worth the visit. I bought a Disney annual pass pre-COVID almost entirely just to visit Batuu. You can just sit there and watch stuff happen, and there are so many details. Even the Aurebesh that you'll find everywhere can be translated back into English. I have two droids from the Droid Depot; one of them I hand painted and weathered, the other I haven't started on yet. There's a Facebook group called Mubo's Droid Builders Club if any of you are interested in seeing peoples' custom DD droids. Amusement park theming is definitely advancing rapidly; Universal is planning on building Epic Universe, which will include many different immersive lands. Everyone in Florida is very excited, especially given the fact that supposedly it'll be opening in 2025 or 2026. Disney is also working on their Star Wars hotel, which looks interesting but extremely pricey and possibly a bit cramped? So far us locals are unsure of what to think; it looks impressive in many aspects, so we'll have to see. Plus Disney unveiled their 'real' retractable lightsaber, which is intended for use in said Star Wars hotel.
In regards to showing up in costume, Disney has been very lax (in terms of Star Wars, at least). People aren't allowed to show up in full gear (Chewwie costume, Mandalorian armor), but they're allowed to wear more low-key costumes. The term at Disney is Disneybounding, which is when someone dresses up in a fashion inspired by a character. For example, someone can Disneybound as Minnie Mouse by wearing her dress and some ears. For Galaxy's Edge, they sell physical costumes there and don't mind if you wear them in the parks (as long as you aren't attempting to pass yourself off as a cast member). You can also Disneybound as a citizen of Batuu by wearing the sort of draped cloth and muted colors like those cast members do.
The whole 'cease and desist' thing is definitely a touchy topic. Disney/ Lucasfilms luckily seem relaxed about Star Wars fan creations as long as the fans are respectful. For example, the 501st Legion and Mandalorian Mercs are both really cool costume clubs that participate in charity work and upholding the high standards that Lucasfilms desires (costume-wise, anyways). Heck, the local 501st garrison in California (I think?) was called in to help film part of the season finale for The Mandalorian season 1. The studio didn't have enough stormtrooper outfits, but the 501st costumes are accurate enough that they were perfect for the screen.
My only advice for Adam is, if you were to build a Star Wars themed Airbnb in California or Florida, people would flock to it. Could get really elaborate with it, too.
Not the Galaxy's Edge that I thought he was gonna talk about... *sad KTF noises*
KTF?
"You know who I'm talking about"
Yes, the Frank Herbert Estate. ;-)
4:00 JAMES MAY. FROM BOTTOM GEAR?!
What about a multi-sound sound effect doorbell for your shop? Why haven't you done that
Was that Thee James May?
the reason why you can't cosplay at these places as an adult really does make sense. You can't have people getting mixed up between a person visiting the part and someone who works there. you can't have Chewbacca running around breaking character or alternatively it loses it's magic to visit Luke and Leia at a meet and greet with 3 Lukes queued infront of you and 6 Leias behind you.
Idea for a One day build: Make a doorbell that make you happy and proud to listen to.
Practical effects are why I love Raiders of the lost Ark
Wish you'd fix the audio. Sounds like it's had too much noise suppression in processing.
I worked on a design stage of one of the Harry Potter Theme Parks and I think you're absolutely right that they represented a different approach to theme park design... a lot of credit has to go to JK Rowling for demanding that their design was overseen by Stuart Craig, production designer for all of the films. And of course to Stuart for being an undisputed design genius.
What's more is there are a lot of Art Directors who worked on both the Harry Potter theme parks and also Galaxy's Edge, those projects are brimming with talented people.
I’d love to see Star Wars, Harry Potter, etc. themed parks that were much more like renfaires.
Disney went all in with Galaxy's Edge not just with movie lore, but also their video game market. You can go to Galaxy's Edge and build an exact replica lightsaber that, if you're a gamer, built for your character in Jedi Fallen Order. No, not just a prebuilt retail item that looks the same, but about 99.9% of the same pieces and components you gather in game play through can be purchased and assembled at Galaxy's Edge. No, I'm not ready to drop minimum of $200.00 to get one yet. I might on a future visit to the World of the Mouse--I live an hour away--but not yet.
7:02, they have. It's called Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser.
Yep. My Disney Travel lady already has our info and a down payment with instructions to “just book it” the moment they announce you can. It’s going to be a fortune to do but also, I hope, Amazing
I wonder if James May with THE James May...
He *did* just name-drop him a video or two ago LOL
@@coeusdarksoul2855 oh I wasn’t aware, guess I gotta catch up on the videos! Ha
4:00 Captain Slow?
Is that THE James May?
Patrons: Did you introduce your kids to Star Wars
Adam: I built an R2D2 to hug them every day.
I'll take that as a yes.
I hope we see Adam Savage in ILM movie credits again.
R2D2 hugs 😭
One day I want to make one or a couple of the robots from "Batteries Not Included" ... Time I wish I could find the store to buy time...
If I wanted to get into special effects, and my first assignment was a Bay Transfomers movie, I would be unhappy. I'd want to work on a project I can believe in.
The cloud FX technique used in Close Encounters was first done by Buddy Gillespie for Wiz of OZ. (Who BTW is my wife’s great uncle)
What a leading question, basically asking do your kids like star wars or did you force them to like it?
There is also Naruto park, Ghibli museum, and soon Super Nintendo World!!
You're a Hellboy fan and a Star Wars geek. Is there any way we could persuade Guillermo Del Toro to do a Star Wars movie? It wouldn't have to be a continuation of the existing series. A unique story set in that universe, sorta like how Mando is. I'd love to see his take in that universe.
Disney World is building a fully interactive Star Wars hotel where you will have a weekend of non stop Star Wars.
Get thee to Galaxy's Edge, NOW! (well, as soon as you can)
The Close Encounters cloud shots Adam mentions at around 13:30 can be found here: ua-cam.com/video/pYVybOyMz-A/v-deo.html
I never really put much thought into what it took to generate those effects. When something is done right, you don't notice it.
Thank you for the link. I was really curious and lazy to look up the film.
I'd just like to make clear, that I would pay a _specific subscription_ to watch a long series of Adam building a Falcon cockpit. Seriously! 🤔
With all the sound bites you have, change doorbell sound?
Yhea it's hard to see how they weren't infused with Star Wars and other such things you have such a passion for. You have so much for them to see and get excited about that it would have to get inside them. However we know how that can sometimes turn out with the child rejecting the thing you love out of the need to rebel... However with Star Wars they'd just be cutting off their own arms... 🤔 😉
4:00 THE James May? From Top Gear? If so, can you guys should collaborate!
That settles it, Adam should build a working Mileniam Falcon.
But I would build the bar from New Hope with the crazy space creatures.
I would build the Millennium Falcon chess room as a bar or as a guest room.
8:30 Dear lord yes they are.
I have strong feeling of deja vu.
Is this video a reupload? Or have I unintentionally time travelled?
HOLD UP SOMEONE BUILT A FALCON COCKPIT IN MY HOME STATE :0
I'm still waiting for the Adam Savage Makes Animal Noises montage...
If I were to build a set piece from the Star Wars movies, I wouldn't do the Falcon Cockpit. I would do the Dining room from Empire as my own dining room.
We all love practical effects more than CGI. It’s a shame we seem to be getting less and less of them.
Was really excited to hear about the book series, but it is alas just more Star Wars stuff confusingly named Galaxy's Edge.
I like that R2-D2 has a retirement job in Adam's house as a nanny.
Have Adam look up Universal's Super Nintendo World in Japan. It's coming to Florida next.....
I think my wife has possibly met her match when it comes to number of deliveries per given day. Only problem is I don’t nerd out over anything she gets...
Welp, give yer wife an 'atta-girl!' on her purchases. We all need one now and then.
Build it Adam! you only need one bathroom in the shop! 🤣
Are we talking about the same Star Wars? 😳
This is puzzeling me too.
Did he miss the last 10 years somehow?
any bets that Adam will take the inaugural trip on the Disney Galactic Starcruiser?
You could be Obi-wan, sort of...
Rip mic at 12:20
Galaxy quest was amazing!!!!! I am more star wars than star trek, but... I like galaxy quest more than spaceballs!spacewalk!
*I actually posted this at 11:38pm!
fun fact: did you know that rubber masks that were molded from William Shatner's face were used for the mask in the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie. Greetings from my current location in the Philippines (but I am from Texas, just here trying to finish college.) Which should be soon.
8:20 Adam's talking about the dino suit videos which got taken down, isn't he!
Taken down? Why?
@@nealsterling8151 There was a recent video series on Tested with Adam constructing his own velociraptor suit. He was receiving information and assistance from some folks at Animax. Animax make such suits. Anyway, part the way through the series the videos disappeared from the channel and no mention has since been made of them. My guess is that there was a legal challenge from the owners of Animax and Tested were forced to take the videos down. A real shame too! They were some great content! 🙂
I believe actual costumes for adults are not allowed but people get really inventive with Batuu-bounding.
Haha, Doorbell ringing like they just showed up at your door after you said they don't manage fair use well.
You can wear costumes at Disney if you are going to the Halloween party.
