in Iceland

that we've tech-scouted.

So, we know physically what it is

we're trying to get out of the tree.

I don't know if it's a practical place, necessarily,

for Frank Oz to try to puppeteer.

So, these concerns are sort of looming.

That tree can go in Iceland.

There's no doubt we can put that tree there.

So can the Millennium Falcon.

Whether or not someone wants to pay

for all of those different aspects,

or whether or not we cherry-pick

the ones that we want,

and bring the others back here.

I think that's what

this is about, really.

It does actually feel like

it's one of those situations

where we'll get exactly

what we're working to get

out of the location.

I think. I don't know. I don't know.

We really wanted to be on location.

However, we realized it's really not worth it.

Taking the entire crew,

going through a location which is very hard.

You still needed to build a tree,

and we've got the whole complication of

having the green guy there.

You have to build a physical place

from where he can operate.

Head down to the tree.

To the tree!

So, we made that call.

I think we made a good call, but you know,

you walk through the set and say,

"Wow, we build this crazy thing."

Next movie, we build a set like this,

we shoot it for a month.

Not for a day. Not for two days. Okay?

I spoke to Steve. I wanna test flame

on the tree, prior to you painting it.

I mean, the reason we test is, you know,

we want to eliminate

as many of the factors that could

cause a shot not to be very good,

because, every time we do another take,

it's a lot of people standing around

waiting for us to reload it.

So the idea of the testing is

to get rid of all those little glitches

so that we stand as good a chance

as we possibly can

of getting it in the first shot.

All right. So if I give you a, "Three,

two, one, action," you go on "one"...

- Go on "action."

- You go on "action."

It's funny, I haven 't had...

I guess at this point

I have had experience with rehearsing,

but I always, coming into it,

feel slightly nervous

just because I feel like

I'm kind of making up how they do it.

I think you probably have more

rehearsals than anybody else.

Yeah.

For sure. Don't you agree?

And you did have some rehearsals on there.

Oy!

- Then I hit the thing.

- Then you hit it.

Okay. Great. All right. Cool.

Another thing is we might play this whole sequence

coming off of a Force connection with you and Kylo.

So, when you're focusing on that rock,

you're really seeing...

- This is all about you kind of...

- Yeah. Okay. Sure.

"I have to get together

for when I kick his ass."

Okay.

When I started writing, I looked at where VII left off,
