on today's show a smart fabric that might someday charge your cell phone and a robotic flower that you control with your mind and there's a whole bunch of Star Wars news that ah yes it's tomorrow daily greetings citizen to the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best ski talk show in the known universe I'm ashley's gether joining me as always jedi master Cale anonymous still a Padawan but I appreciate that you're a Jedi Master to me you always wanted cool all right you know so we've decided we need to launch off with the Star Wars news let's not bury the lead here let's hit the headlines so we talked about it before Star Wars Celebration is going on currently thursday friday and saturday and sunday yeah thursday being the biggest day because we have not only gotten a chance to see a panel but we also got the trailer for another teaser Star Wars teaser for Star Wars Episode 7 force awakens and as you can see it like you see on the screen it opens fantastically my favorite shot um but yeah there's a lot of details that came out too because there was a panel apparently is gonna be a lot more Ashley what did you see on the panel so the things I liked about the panel was I loved that first of all let's just discuss bb-8 because bb-8 the droid is a droid is a practical real real working robot that's the droid with the ball almost floating head yeah super cute and they brought it out on stage there is and it looks like magic like that doesn't even look rip my brain can't even process how cool that is it just doesn't even look real it looks really big ceej eat it right on stage but that right there is pretty good reflection of the fact that JJ Abrams is having a good time oh yeah like a bang-up job but what else are what are some information that we learned so we got to meet the three actors that play these three kind of Maine new roles we got to meet Daisy Ridley Oscar Isaac and John boyega and we learned what their kind of weather rolls are a little a little bit they were eight they were just barely JJ Abrams took them away for off of gunpoint for two seconds each and they were able to tell a little bit about their characters uh so Oscar Isaac is a is a pilot he who described himself as the greatest pilot in the galaxy right um and then Daisy Ridley is she said she's a very self-sufficient scavenger on a desert planet that is not tattooing and that's the desert planet that we're seeing in the trailer is it's not tattooing a lot of people thought it was no different planet yeah there's other desert plant there does our plants guy jerks and then John boyega described as up so there's some debate going on in the internet because John boyega described himself as a person who is on this desert planet and like something happens and he has to kind of make a choice about what kind of person he is and they asked him very directly are you a stormtrooper or are you in disguise like that was a big thing oh and the new storm trooper costumes these are the new storm trooper costume which are gorgeous yeah um that was a very weird way of saying it just they're gorgeous there you got these new storm troopers outfits and they're gorgeous this is Star Wars fashion police aren't really impressive apparently they're supposed to be more mobile like they can they can move around a lot more oh okay and then of course we learned the John boyega might wear one of these himself mikey is going to be my injured need to be a stormtrooper movie because he looked at Kathleen Kennedy and JJ Abrams and was kind of like looked at everybody else was like so I hoping that me and Tia is a stormtrooper beyond the panel and I don't know if we even have any files for this but we also got a chance to see in like living motion the villain that's gonna be in Star Wars Episode 7 the guy with the lightsaber that has the little cross guard yeah the crossguard that comes off and he looks awesome I know that we have that we don't think we have that um okay oh there ya go it's only for like a sec again right but you get to see him like he swings the the lightsaber and whatnot and then there's also vo somebody wanted to do a breakdown I'm like I don't even have enough it trailer preview the vo is from Luke yeah yes from Luke and he may be talking to his look at this letter but he kept the helmet Franklin you just gotta sit down you gonna watch the trailer there's so much I do so much going on I almost I literally got choked up you guys I'm I was so excited because I was telling my best friend Mike in the car on the way here this is my star wars I was too young to get to have the nostalgia that people have about the first set of starting the first trilogy the original trilogy I was too little like I didn't get to see it in a theater until I was too old to like really like that Matt for that magic to sort of activate and then the prequels I was is like they just weren't good and so it's like okay well that's not my Star Wars either and I oh I never felt like I I love Star Wars more than I did today where I was i saw that trailer Mike this is my star wars this is my trilogy like this is gonna be a trilogy that I connect with the most like I'm really jacked about I I think the thing that stands out more than anything about this particular run of Star Wars is just how many fans are involved in making the product yes whether it be JJ Abrams who's a giant fan John boyega like geeked out even even like even the people in the cast even Hamill they're all super stoked about being back in this universe and then it's not just it you could say it's a money grab but it's absolutely not everybody involved is a for sure about that's why they released it at the star wars celebration yeah not the star wars funeral downer time no they're everyone is super excited Peter Mayhew came out with his star wars lightsaber cane which I thought was adorable cuz he just had knee surgery um he had a couple knee replacements and yeah Mark Hamill Carrie Fisher they were all out there that his big photo op everyone was so excited and you know I just I am so thrilled like I'm very pleased and I think it's in the right hands I know a lot of people are really skeptical about JJ Abrams like oh it's gonna be all full lens flares lololo like that was the whole internet joke but from what I've seen thus far it really does seem to capture the spirit of the original trilogy with all the practical effects and puppetry but also really kind of bring it into I know I know that's basically all you can say about it is just fire up your lightsabers everybody fires oh not meant not many details on the story but they're not a whole lot now hold on all right so we have to talk about other things well we've hashed out of the day oh oh alright which is TT star wars GD star wars and we just want to know based on the teaser trailer or if you saw the panel who is your favorite care who you're most looking forward to seeing it could be an old character a new character you most looking forward to seeing and in the force awakens the villain bb-8 i'm all about bb-8 alright mean baby oh he's gonna let you down competitor likes milk he's never don't let me down I can't wait to the villain we really haven't seen too much of the villain and it always has to be something ominous and asked me something we've never seen before they wouldn't just force us to have another Darth Maul or another Darth Vader he has to have like very messed up intentions and I'm sure he's going to start he's gonna start a domino effect that's gonna go for this whole trilogy so I'm very excited see what happens here do you um that's Adam driver right that's he's done yeah the rumor is the rumor is that he's playing a Sith there's no word on whether that's him that could be Andy Serkis for all we know who does Moe cab for him or whatever okay we don't know well no any circuses character did have a name now but I forgot what it was yeah but I I'm just really excited to see what this it like I am excited to kick off a whole new trilogy of Star Wars like it just looks really fun and I'm excited to go see it so there you go um so TT star wars that's your hashtag a day okay we got to talk about this the smart fabric this is pretty cool and it might charge your smartphone someday so kmart fabric fabric of smart fabric yeah yeah okay so pay a Star Wars fabric or Star Wars fabric no smart fabric but Star Wars fabric I'm sure I'm gonna see a lot of tomorrow at celebration I will be there so it might take some pictures and stuff okay so right now there is a group of scientists and researchers at Sungkyunkwan University in South Korea and I i am going to feel confident about my pronunciation of that and they put together this material that is two layers of fabric together and when the fabric rubs together with natural motion it creates the like kinetic energy well it creates the it creates this scenario where static electricity shows up so like you know kind of rubbing your head on a balloon yes same type of thing okay so what they're doing is they're like okay and then you know you have static electricity that you touch a doorknob and you see that little arc and it shocks you so they're converting that into power which is kind of insane yeah so you walking around you're gonna be generating enough generating a little electricity so there's look they're powering some of those LEDs right there that's that's from just moving that's incredible which is pretty cool and they were saying that so they were able to power on a six and bed at LEDs a smart a small LCD screen and a keyless car remote inside the jacket one at a time so not all at once but they were able to power all of those things like in succession which is pretty cool and they did it successfully like it was it worked so they're saying at some point there they said obviously right now you can't power a smartphone it's not enough power but they said in the future maybe connecting that with a battery pack that would be able to store that energy and then you can connect the battery pack to your phone maybe your emotions throughout the day could in fact charge your smartphone yeah you put it like on that inner thigh area of your pants and when you like walk in your pants you're like actually just creating that kinetic energy yeah exactly in there all day we're like right here all right here you're walking yeah you know here doing your power walk yeah and if you need charge your phone you're like you're like I gotta go faster day Oh what ya know this is really cool it's like you're your own little Tony Stark down yeah you good self power you're so you're all self powered um but yeah I thought this was really neat and so they're they're working really hard on this and there's some fascinating science that goes into this and I won't even try to pretend to understand it because they talk about the different materials that they went through and how exactly they're using the energy to make it charge but we have the article up on cnet if you want to read it super it's super interesting if it's something that you're interested in smart fabrics okay so last story and then we will jump into a break and some other fun stuff but I really like this I think this is really cool so a lot of people now it's really hard for us to like relax focus maybe meditate a lot of people well you meditate with the force that's fine I don't get to do that I don't get to meditate with the force so this girl who has a fantastic name who's Ashley Ashley Newton is a cooler name of mine actually Newton way cooler name yeah Ashley escalators really hard to say escalator yeah is Ashley cause idea um so she made these robotic flowers with her collaboration with an artist named Sean Stevens and they made these robotic flowers now they kind of look like jellyfish they remind me of jellyfish but they're clear and they have all these beautiful lights in them and you put a EEG device on your head so the ones that measure your brainwave activity and you can actually make the flowers change color and expand and contract based on how focused or how relaxed your your brain activity is oh wow yeah so she's got you can so they have like a little little head bands and stuff that track your your brain activity and so these are the flowers that they made to sort of show exactly how you're using your your your brain waves so the light and the the blooming is all controlled and so they're saying like the colors change if you're more focused or if you're more relaxed and then also the the flower opens up or closes based on how you how your brain waves are acting so yeah there you go that's that's incredible like it just it's really neat and and I like that um I really like that this is kind of a good way like maybe in the future maybe this would be like something you would buy to help your mindfulness or if you need to meditate if you really you know like it would be a good way to train your brain to sort of meditate but be able to see results right in front of you like I feel like that would be really encouraging to some people who feel like oh I just I can't meditate too hard so I like that I like that a lot very cool yeah nice where cash in Haven I'd buy that I feel like I kind of want one so um yeah it's pretty it's pretty neat and they were at a festival in san francisco last week and then now they're gone but hopefully we'll see them again we'll see them pop up somewhere but but yeah so that's it for headlines and we're going to take a quick break we're gonna before we leave we're going to watch an intense there was an attack on Los Angeles I don't have you heard about this it's very serious and in honor of Star Wars Celebration I figured we'd show this at break and then we'll be right back with into it which is some good stuff and then of course your user feedbacks don't click away it's tomorrow daily

Hills like I literally have been living in Los Santos and I'm like well I am super excited Star Wars so maybe they'll have the convention in Grand Theft Auto that would be kind of cool oh my god if you could drive down to it that would be amazing you can only get dress up as any sort of nerd I bet you could dress up as a Jedi but there's some Jedi robe and there'd be maybe there be a mod in a couple weeks I'm dressed up right now as clockwork orange so fair enough really fair enough a little bitty ol little Alex was it altra violence so hyper violence alright so that's it that's it that's what we're into uh and now we're gonna talk about what you're into because it's time for user feedback you ready hit the pool cues hit the pool cues eight eight Ball corner pocket Luke hit the eight ball feel before it's been a rough day guys it's it has we haven't eaten yet um so hey we asked you guys use the hashtag TD protest tell us about the hologram protests people were really interested in this I also find it very fascinating um but we asked you guys instead of politicizing it we asked you guys to literally think of the pettiest thing possible to protest you guys came up with some really good ones my girlfriend saw mine by the way did I laughed so hard about an hour after we left the studio yesterday filming the show Cale sends me a picture of the Splenda packet ripped in half on the counter next to the club that was the one thing that I was against laughed so hard I just it was so funny and so perfect great great timing I mean I think you literally sent that to me maybe five minutes after the show wondering what you want to go you want to go on my camera yeah do it go to go to there it is there it is disappointment there it is you can see the Splenda pocket right there next to the coffee machine and then there's the where she would throw it away so yeah I was the best um so you guys came up with some really good one she said I'm a jerk by the way yeah definitely for throwing that out how dare you uh but anyway so okay what everybody else said hey soos wrote in and said rise up against hard plastic packages there as evil as the great old ones so much blood lost oh no yeah your teeth probably suffered too from those yeah you're trying to go to choose a room and so and then you gotta you can't figure them out it's like and then I'm ribbon and you can't return it cuz like a wheel package all right you feel terrible and then Frank wrote in and said this is to Microsoft I demand a live-action halo film and Dave Batista's Master Chief's voice that is a very I never thought of that but i like it i did think about that he's so good i like it it's pretty good that's good casting good casting you should be casting director Frank then Ansel wrote in to us and said I would I rally against EA to make them put their games on steam and not origin that's a good one nobody likes nobody likes origin I'm I'm all for multiple platforms existing fair enough so competition is good it's just not origin has crept right origin pretty good it's pretty awful to use Rob wrote in and said the most trivial and ridiculous protest that I would protest would be is there are not enough Pete's or philz coffee shops around San Francisco it's all starbucks on every am corner too many Starbucks build a krispy kreme doughnuts in San Francisco so that was his email yeah like he needs some coffee yeah you need some coffee I'm gonna get your caffeine fix Robbie seem cranky and then Michael wrote in lastly and had a few different things to say said dear Ashley Kalin Logan I've been watching from the beginning also this show brought me to cnet which got me into technology thanks oh yeah anywho first going off with a snuggle seat I can't believe they're really calling it that it's an okay idea but just okay I might use it but I think I'd rather use the ostrich pillow which is the one where you put it all over your head and then you have like the little okay like that one next I estimated the price of an apple to watch and it is around 125 dollars without 3d printing third I probably wouldn't take part in a protest mostly because of a minor but I don't know TD protest I would protest YouTube too for not giving us the new UI which I actually found how to get on Android Police I want to know the new UI yeah oh it's so nice um the the bars on the bottoms of art like transparent the play like the controls and stuff it looks good right look really nice yeah um lastly from your episode the other day the leg shocker people mover thingamajig which i think is the perfect name for it I do not like that idea because that opens up an entire new world of hacking where you can't control where you're going and basically UK a mug door something super like a yes yes that's dangerous where am I going yeah legs are just dragging your right leg help me seriously though I feel like I feel like that is a that's a story that we need to get someone I think we should have producer Logan try that they were pretty sure Logan you up for that yeah I just need more writing that's all I need my life hahahahahaha right sorry he's busy writing a different oh she's writing a screenplay writer yeah well we'll worry about that later um okay so that is your users feedback so good don't forget your hashtag dated a TV star wars and it's time for our last piece user feedback which is our photogra for the day oh it's tough I hit in this video you know it you're lyin see but like right outside this box there's tons of like that there's like seven lights over here there's three down here there's like this thing you get is really dangerous here like I look I'm touching something now and touching something now it scared thing too that's damaged it's very dangerous kale is a dangerous animal max wrote in to us and said greetings citizens of the internet tomorrow daily I'm max from one of the tiniest country's Singapore he's from Singapore okay first of all we're gonna discuss this picture in a second but he says just want to share some photos I took with my samsung galaxy s2 the pictures didn't turn out that great main
