Source? I hadn't heard that. Is that from the Iger book?

That's from a lot of stuff. I can try to do a search later. But some of it might come from friends of mine that work in the industry. I seem to remember him not wanting to shoot at Pinewood was a big one that was public.

We had heard it had heard it way back too I’m sure we talked about it being longer than TLJ
But it came up yesterday on this pod and one of these guys is in the industry or knows someone who is. Good podcast too
Sorry I thought you were asking me

I just finally watched it for the second time last night...i liked it a touch better the second time around but still feel like its far and away the worst of the sequel trilogy.
That said, i do feel like it would probably benefit greatly from a longer cut.

I do wish it was a tad longer but I also really like the operatic nature of it. It's so properly big and grand and over the top in all the right ways.

Seriously all of you should listen to this.
Lucasfilm Creative Art Manager Phil Szostak takes us inside the creative process of The Rise of Skywalker and the sequel trilogy! Phil Szostak is one of the few people who was involved with the development of the sequel trilogy from the beginning to the end, both in his day job as Lucasfilm's Creative Art Manager, and in his role as the author of The Art of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, The Art of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and his latest book, The Art of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. The man responsible for documenting the making of the sequel trilogy joins us to talk about:
• The designs that were too secretive to be included in The Art of The Rise of Skywalker
• Why sticking to a 'roadmap' can be a dangerous thing
• The influence of George Lucas and Dave Filoni on the sequel trilogy
• The influence of Akira Kurosawa and Studio Ghibli on the Lucasfilm visualists
• The hardest secret he's ever had to keep at Lucasfilm
• Defining the visual aesthetic of Star Wars
• His favourite fan theories
• And much more!
The Art of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, published by Abrams Books, is available now wherever books are sold. Force Material is a podcast exploring the secrets and source material of Star Wars with hosts Rohan Williams and Baz McAlister.

Won’t be a popular take but Rey deserved a better ending than this. The Rey skywalker bit is flimsy at best. The character isn’t given a satisfactory answer or end.
I hope this means the door is open to more. Same time I don’t expect to get one
Dear reader I’m sorry for the hotness of this take
Please feel free to plough my mentions

I... Don't think this take is as hot as you think it is, buddy.
