Star Wars: Rise of the Skywalker – Kevin Smith Was Told To Avoid Looking At A Set Because It Would ‘Melt His Mind’

Last year, director Kevin Smith was lucky enough to visit Pinewood Studios in England where Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. However Smith was persuaded not to have a glance at one set in particular, one in which Smith was warned would melt his mind.

Members of the crew who had seen the set told Smith they wish they hadn’t. Smith talked about his Pinewood experiences in an interview with IGN, you can check out what he had to say below.

“There was a scuttlebutt about the set there at Pinewood. They’re like, ‘You have to see this. When you see it, it will melt your mind.’ So I ask J.J., ‘They keep telling me I should see the set.’ He’s like, ‘Don’t. It’s the last shot of the movie. You don’t want this spoiled. You want to be in a theater when this happens. Trust me. Other people on the crew were like, ‘Bro, I wish I hadn’t seen it, but it will melt your mind.’”

Smith continued:

“As inquisitive as I am, and as curious as I am, I desperately wanted to go look. But when you talk to the magician, and the magician is like, ‘Trust me on this one.’ You know, sometimes as human beings we want to know how they pull the rabbit out of the hat, but J.J. is such a magical magician that I’m just like, ‘ You know what? Do it. Trick me. I’ll wait and get tricked.’ Even though I could have seen what it was, I was like, ‘I’ll sit back. I like your plan.’ He’s never let me down so far.”

Wow, what a tough decision that would have been. I think I wouuld have made the same choice as Smith, of course that’s easy to say from here. I imagine it would have much more difficult to decide in that moment, with the opportunity right there in front of you.
