Chapter 1: What does Stephen Colbert think about movie trailers?
You're listening to Comedy Central.
Welcome back to the program. This past Sunday was a banner day for fans of the Star Wars series. As Fox aired the first glimpse of the latest installment of the saga, Attack of the Clones.
We must stop them before they're ready.
Beginning this Cold War has. Joining us now, our resident expert in all things science fiction, Stephen Colbert. Stephen, you've worked with Bradbury, with Huxley, understudied many of them. What did you think of this particular trailer? John, I loved it. The special effects were mind-blowing.
The editing was crisp. Jimmy Smits was in it. I don't want to tell you the ending, but what the heck.
I'll just show it to you.

Chapter 2: How did Samuel L. Jackson feel about his character's evolution?
Your first chance to see the trailer for Star Wars.
Look at this.
Now for those of you who don't know how to read, they're telling you that this is the exact same trailer you can see this Friday during previews before the showing of the new Fox animated classic, Ice Age.
I have got to see that. Ice Age? No, the new Star Wars trailer. But it's... It's the same trailer you just saw on TV. Right, right, right.
But it's going to be on the big screen in a big theater. I can't impress upon you how the largeness of it will increase its size. You see, at home, I'm bigger than my TV.
But in a movie theater, the screen dwarfs me. The TV trailer has only whet my appetite. The feast is this Friday.

Chapter 3: What insights does Sigourney Weaver share about Avatar?
So you're really looking forward to this movie? No. Did you not like episode one? No, I mean, I loved the trailer, but I heard the movie was terrible, you know?
It was like 133 minutes. I could watch 30 or 40 trailers during that same time.
You just like trailers? What's not to like, John? I mean, you've got the buttery-voiced narrator asking me to imagine a world where something happens, or every so often a film comes along that does something, you know? I love the excitement when the trailer is fun and upbeat, and then you hear that needle scratch, like, ah!
And everything sort of stops, and then someone mugs for the camera, like, wah-wah-wah!
Or when someone's about to say a dirty word, then they cut to a tanker truck exploding like, suck my .
You know, that, that my friend, is trailertainment. It is, it is, it is. You don't like,

Chapter 4: How does Lupita Nyong'o describe her experience in Star Wars?
Movies at all? I love movies, John. I just don't see why they have to be so long. You know, nobody walks out of trailers because they're perfect. In fact, there is nothing in this world that wouldn't be better in trailer form. I mean, take this Star Wars commentary, for instance. Wouldn't it have been a lot better if we had just done it like this?
In a world where one man loved it.
John, I loved it. Jimmy Smits was in it. He's about to get more than he bargained for. I'm pregnant. Movies are just watered down trailers. The Stephen Colbert trailer commentary. Winner of the coveted bomb door.
Chapter 5: What challenges did George Lucas face with Star Wars storytelling?
Suck my... Coming to The Daily Show three minutes ago. Welcome back. My guest tonight, an actor, his new film is called Captain America, The Winter Soldier. Please welcome back to the program, Samuel L. Jackson.
Samuel L. Jackson.
Soak it in. Soak it in. GM, baby. It's all about that, right? This is a continuing saga of the badassery... of Samuel. Thank you more more and more. These films. These characters have been around for 50 years.
Yeah, Nick Fury was around when I was a kid I used to read Nick Fury comic book, you know he was a white guy with a cigar in a patch.
Chapter 6: How does the audience react to the new summer blockbusters?
Yes.
But then he became David Hasselhoff for a while, and then he became me. So the evolution of Nick Fury continues. It does indeed.
And may I say, it's been upgraded.
I believe.
I believe that Samuel L. Jackson is upgraded.
I'd like to feel that way, too.
But I almost wonder, you know, they were never able, the technology of movies was never at the advanced level that it is now that these superheroes could on screen really appear realistic and it could you could get the jolt I wonder if that's why it's only now that these movies are so big.
I think part of the technology and I also think part of it is the accessibility of what we're able to do as real people now you know when I was a kid, I would read a comic book and I would want to be in a world where you know that women walk around in tights with green hair and blue hair and sure folks had capes on and they were wearing boots and they call that Francisco. I believe back then.
Yeah, exactly. And now, you know, we have all that and people are walking around, you know, people are walking around talking on things and they're looking at stuff on the little devices. So it's all very real for us.

Chapter 7: What comedic elements did Rob Riggle bring to the movie discussion?
The only thing missing is this cat that actually flies. Yes. You know, that lands somewhere, you know, and he's probably out there somewhere just, you know, waiting to come out.
I believe that's right. Yeah. I wonder, I've always thought that science takes its cues from, you know, all the great Asimov and Wells and all the great sort of fiction writers and science fiction writers, and they see something like that in a comic strip and go, I bet I could make that. Yeah. You know, that they're taking their cues almost from the imaginations of a guy like Stan Lee.
Yeah, well, there's that, and, you know, there's also the fact that... I used to dream I could fly. Right. I used to dream I could breathe underwater, you know, and all that kind of stuff. And I wanted to do it really badly, you know? And now, you know, I put on that costume, and I fall into that Marvel playground. I'm like, I'm in heaven.
Chapter 8: What are the highlights of the summer movie season according to the hosts?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's like, this is happening. You know, I put my eyepatch on, and I walk out there, and I'm invincible, man.
And they create it realistically. You know, in the old days, a superhero like Hulk, they'd just find the biggest guy they could and paint him green. And that would be... You know, but the effects now and everything else that surrounds it, is it... When you're doing it, when you're making it, is it tedious? Is it, uh... Do you feel the excitement?
Or is it just you in spandex in front of, like, a green flat, and they're just like, -"Now the monster's coming."
Like... In the beginning, you sort of felt that way. Back when I first started doing Star Wars, it was just a big green room, and we had some things in there. And then, you know, I had my lightsaber, and George will say, okay, there's this thing attacking you. And I go, how big is it? He says, uh, it's as big as an SUV. And I go, really? And how fast is it? He says, fast as you want it to be.
So I'm like, so I can do anything I want, and you'll draw stuff around me. He said, you kick all the ass you want, and we will make sure it looks like you're the baddest mother in the universe. So I'm back in my room. I love it. I got my music going in my head. I'm jumping and running. And then all of a sudden, when I go to the movies, it's like . Amazing. Look at me. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, yeah, it's all that and more. But when you're doing like that car chase, we had, like... But that looks actually dangerous. Like, are you... Well, we had, like, 12 cars that all did different s***. So when you see the movie, there's one point where it's, like, 19 guys firing bullets at it. Right. And the windows are just resisting the bullets, and I'm just sitting in the car like...
And that's like a dope-ass feeling. You know, you sitting there like, yeah, mother . And it's actually happening while you're in there.
And you're just in the car, you know.
