Instead of cutting a short film, he wanted to use something he was more familiar with. He recently became interested in the editing process and wanted to learn more about the art form. He loves the Star Wars films, the Back to the Future movies and all the same signature titles of any film geek who grew up in the 1980s. I was told I could blog about it afterwards if I wanted, so here goes.įor those of you who don't know, Topher Grace is a film geek. The event was held somewhere in the Hollywood area in a a screening room filled with filmmakers, editors, actors, actresses and only a few press friends. I was told the screening was a secret private event arranged only for friends only and was asked not to talk about it beforehand. The Force is definitely strong in this one.Last month I received a cryptic e-mail inviting me to a private screening of a new Star Wars film edited by Topher Grace - which is funny because I had no idea there was a new Star Wars film in the works, with or without Grace's involvement. Or hire him to straight-up edit their film. Someone let Topher Grace direct a Star Wars movie. Or, as Patton Oswalt (also a huge fan) tweeted: Need all the movies presented in a five minutes guaranteed to leave you either with goosebumps or tears? Star Wars Always is how you do it. Additionally, the parallels illustrated in Luke’s rise and Rey’s rise, the fall of Ben Solo and Anakin Skywalker, and the remarkable similarities in the last Obi-Wan/Vader duel and Luke’s confrontation with Kylo Ren on Crait tie together the 40-plus year story beautifully. The Always trailer manages to illustrate several of the thematic threads and character arcs that stretch across all the current ten films. Why don’t studios make “mega-trailers,” tying all the movies of one franchise together, reminding you why you fell in love in the first place? Editor Jeff Yorkes, no stranger to the franchise having edited both a documentary about poster artist Drew Struzan and one about the 30th anniversary of Return of the Jediwas on board, and shared the result on his Twitter as well. (Follow the link to be blown away like a Death Star.) Grace likes to edit films, no one quite expected the glorious Star Wars Always trailer that appeared on his You Tube page “Lou’s Cafe” Tuesday night. He manages to bring all the casual, racist smarm of David Duke to life in the Oscar winning BlacKkKlansman. (Also of course featuring Kylo Ren himself, Adam Driver.)Īfter the release of BlacKkKlansman an article appeared talking about how Topher Grace would unwind from playing such an evil character by editing movies in his spare time, in this case a two-hour cut of The Hobbit trilogy. OK, maybe there’s one role where he plays further against type. Star Wars: The Reverse Anidala theory, explained.Star Wars VHS tape expected to hit $60,000 in auction.Star Wars tells its best stories out of order.Yoda recognized R2-D2 during The Empire Strikes Back.Grace also appears in the science fiction action homage Predators and plays as against his type as he can as a psychotic killer. Grace appears in the much maligned, but occasionally fascinating Spider-Man 3 as the first onscreen Eddie Brock. As Eric on That 70’s Show we got to see him and his friends when they first experienced Star Wars in 1977. Topher Grace has some pretty solid credentials in fandom already.
Though Star Wars fan films are nothing new, all across social media, on Twitter, on Facebook, on You Tube, the comments and questions from my fellow fans came: Have you seen Topher Grace’s trailer? This was just supposed to be another Tuesday night, and then it happened. With Star Wars Always though, we not only get celebrity involvement, we get five minutes that tie in every film, and show just how contiguous, Saga or Anthology, these movies really are.
