- 0:00Speaker 1: The Force will be with you always.
- 0:18Speaker 2: Hello, and welcome back to another episode of Star Wars Alliance.
- 0:24Speaker 2: Of course, I'm your host, Clay and with me like always.
- 0:28Speaker 2: And somebody who's not always here all the time is
- 0:33Speaker 2: Katie and Adrian. Guys, how are y'all doing today? How?
- 0:39Speaker 1: How's how's everybody? How's everything been going? I hear Mara
- 0:44Speaker 1: going miles a minute over there.
- 0:50Speaker 3: Hotty training is not fun, it's not And she needed
- 0:57Speaker 3: Benadryl because apparently the girl is a large to mosquito bites.
- 1:01Speaker 3: Oh no, it's still somehow going a mile a minute. Yeah,
- 1:08Speaker 3: And she's had been a drolder system now for three
- 1:11Speaker 3: hours and never once dropped off.
- 1:15Speaker 2: No. We we have hit the stage where Amberlin is
- 1:21Speaker 2: refusing to take a nap, so we trick her into saying, hey,
- 1:25Speaker 2: let's go for a ride, and like we drive a
- 1:28Speaker 2: little bit on the highway and then she's out, so
- 1:32Speaker 2: and then we have to just like take an extra
- 1:36Speaker 2: long drive to get back home. And so it's actually
- 1:40Speaker 2: just like a twenty minute nap. But at least for
- 1:42Speaker 2: those twenty minutes there's some piece. Yeah, it was so
- 1:49Speaker 2: funny because Amberlin has been going through a little bit
- 1:55Speaker 2: of uh. Some say like twos and three are like
- 2:00Speaker 2: the hardest ages to go through when it comes to toddlers.
- 2:08Speaker 2: I can't remember what she was saying to Abby, but Katie,
- 2:13Speaker 2: I've told you this plenty of times. My daughter is
- 2:16Speaker 2: three going on thirty, and she what was it today?
- 2:25Speaker 2: She kind of speaks her own language sometimes.
- 2:30Speaker 3: Don't we all though?
- 2:34Speaker 2: True, true, but like she will say things with such
- 2:40Speaker 2: confidence and so matter of the fact, And then I
- 2:44Speaker 2: simply ask her, wait what because again.
- 2:50Speaker 1: Completely two different levels here, And.
- 2:54Speaker 2: She looks at me with the wrath of a thousand sons, like,
- 2:59Speaker 2: why didn't you hear me the first time?
- 3:01Speaker 3: Dad?
- 3:02Speaker 1: You have now ruined by day.
- 3:04Speaker 2: I'm gonna go upstairs and tell on you. And then
- 3:09Speaker 2: she tells Abby in pure English like something completely different.
- 3:14Speaker 2: I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, Hey, hold hold on, hold on, no, no, no, no, wait,
- 3:17Speaker 2: that's not what you said downstairs. It's it's it's it's
- 3:22Speaker 2: got me into a little bit of a pickle this week,
- 3:24Speaker 2: and it's it's fun and terrified she's lying.
- 3:27Speaker 1: She learned how to lie. That'll be fun for you.
- 3:33Speaker 2: Oh oh man, I guess like the one other thing
- 3:38Speaker 2: that has been kind of fun. Is recently, my my
- 3:42Speaker 2: parents and my little sister went to kan Koon and
- 3:46Speaker 2: so we had the house to ourselves, but we had
- 3:48Speaker 2: to take care of their dog, who is a escape
- 3:53Speaker 2: artist for anybody who knows that terminology for who have dogs.
- 3:59Speaker 1: He likes to run away.
- 4:03Speaker 2: And we live in a city that has domesticated.
- 4:08Speaker 1: Wild deer just everywhere.
- 4:11Speaker 2: Yeah, and they do not like him. So it has
- 4:16Speaker 2: been a very interesting few days trying to make sure
- 4:21Speaker 2: that the deer do not trample over this small little
- 4:24Speaker 2: YORKI So, yeah, that that has been my week. But Adrian,
- 4:29Speaker 2: what about you? How you how you how you been
- 4:31Speaker 2: this this past week?
- 4:34Speaker 1: Uh? God, too bad. It's been very chill. I don't
- 4:37Speaker 1: really have many updates. Very very chill, very chill.
- 4:44Speaker 2: I will see, I will it is.
- 4:47Speaker 1: It is good. I will say.
- 4:49Speaker 2: You genuinely piqued my interest for episodes five through eight
- 4:56Speaker 2: when you sent me that text on Instagram. Uh, because
- 5:01Speaker 2: I don't know if you have the time to actually
- 5:03Speaker 2: listen to our episode last week.
- 5:05Speaker 1: I did not. I did not, which is totally fine.
- 5:08Speaker 1: I had said personally that.
- 5:12Speaker 2: If somebody was to look at this series and only
- 5:20Speaker 2: had episodes one through four to judge it. I feel
- 5:24Speaker 2: like it would not be fair because the juice does
- 5:29Speaker 2: not happen until episode five, Like that is when things
- 5:35Speaker 2: really start to hit the fan and like things really
- 5:38Speaker 2: start to ramp up. So I'm really excited to talk
- 5:41Speaker 2: about episodes four through eight, I mean five through eight,
- 5:46Speaker 2: but really quickly before we do that, we do have
- 5:48Speaker 2: a couple well, we have one big news topic and
- 5:53Speaker 2: then Adrian, I do want to get your like just
- 5:56Speaker 2: quick thoughts on episodes one through four after that, So, Katie,
- 6:01Speaker 2: I sent you this screenshot of an announcement.
- 6:06Speaker 1: That was literally I think yesterday.
- 6:10Speaker 2: Marvel is producing a Marvel and Star Wars cross over
- 6:19Speaker 2: comic written by Kevin Smith and drawn by David Marquees.
- 6:31Speaker 2: The last thing I ever read from.
- 6:36Speaker 1: Kevin Smith was the Kevin Smith or.
- 6:42Speaker 2: The It was the Jay and Silent Bob crossover with Archie.
- 6:46Speaker 2: That was I believe last year it was released. I
- 6:53Speaker 2: think Kevin Smith is a beautiful, beautiful man when it
- 6:57Speaker 2: comes to the fandom of just be nerdy. His writing
- 7:04Speaker 2: can be hit and miss for people, but I think
- 7:07Speaker 2: his heart is always in it, and so that's why
- 7:09Speaker 2: I really enjoy his stories. David Marquez is one of
- 7:13Speaker 2: my favorite artists and I even have some test prints
- 7:20Speaker 2: from him that I was able to purchase off of
- 7:23Speaker 2: his website back in like twenty twenty one from his
- 7:28Speaker 2: Superman Batman run. So I love his art absolutely amazing.
- 7:34Speaker 2: There is going to be a connecting cover for this series,
- 7:40Speaker 2: which I am a huge sucker for. It's one of
- 7:44Speaker 2: the immigy things in comics that I actually collect and
- 7:49Speaker 2: I can actually show that.
- 7:52Speaker 1: Right here. Let's see here disconnecting cover here.
- 8:02Speaker 2: Yeah, as all the villains on one logan Wolverine.
- 8:08Speaker 1: Front and center.
- 8:09Speaker 2: We have Captain America Luke Skywalker, then we have the
- 8:12Speaker 2: film Fatale with Black Widow and Leah, and then we
- 8:17Speaker 2: have Old Ben with Deadpool and Hawkeye on the last cover.
- 8:24Speaker 3: Ben with Deadpool is a choice.
- 8:27Speaker 1: It is a choice. I don't know.
- 8:29Speaker 2: I'm not entirely sure, Like I would really love to
- 8:35Speaker 2: hear David David's like reasoning behind it, or if it
- 8:39Speaker 2: was like asked like, hey, I need this character to
- 8:42Speaker 2: be with this character and this character to be with
- 8:44Speaker 2: this character on these covers. But either way, I think
- 8:48Speaker 2: it's very fun, very cool. Katie uh initial thoughts on
- 8:55Speaker 2: this on this announcement.
- 8:57Speaker 3: I've never actually read a Kevin Smith comic. I've just
- 9:01Speaker 3: seen like his original uh Jay and Silent Bob stuff.
- 9:06Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 9:07Speaker 3: So, but I do agree with you that I know
- 9:11Speaker 3: he's got good heart, uh with what he's doing. So
- 9:15Speaker 3: I'll be interested to see. I know, like I've had
- 9:19Speaker 3: issues like I because I've liked some of what Jay
- 9:24Speaker 3: and Silent Bob and like all the films in that niche. Yeah,
- 9:29Speaker 3: there's some things that are just a little too weird
- 9:31Speaker 3: for me. But like I really enjoyed Googleheim's Arrow for instance,
- 9:38Speaker 3: but then I had not enjoyed anything that he's put
- 9:41Speaker 3: out in a comic, so for Star Wars. So I'll
- 9:45Speaker 3: just be interested to see if like that trend continues.
- 9:48Speaker 2: Well, it's funny that you say that, because like famously
- 9:52Speaker 2: Kevin Smith like put Green Arrow back on the map
- 9:56Speaker 2: when it comes to like DC runs, Uh did he?
- 10:00Speaker 1: Yeah? So uh, there there is a famous story.
- 10:05Speaker 2: Immediately after or is it after or during like the
- 10:10Speaker 2: death of Green Arrow way back like early early nineties stuff,
- 10:19Speaker 2: and people loved it. It's kind of what like brought
- 10:22Speaker 2: sales back to Green Arrow. I've read it, I really
- 10:26Speaker 2: enjoyed it. I think that again, like some of his
- 10:29Speaker 2: dialogue is a little wonky, a little silly sometimes, but
- 10:32Speaker 2: it's just who Kevin Smith is. Famously a lot of
- 10:43Speaker 2: people don't like how he writes Batman sometimes because I
- 10:47Speaker 2: think canonically he made Batman pee his pants in one comic.
- 10:54Speaker 1: Out of like pure fear or something like that.
- 10:58Speaker 2: And then I actually read if you look at Detective
- 11:04Speaker 2: Comics one thousand, which was an anthology story with many
- 11:08Speaker 2: different writers and artists, one of the very first stories
- 11:12Speaker 2: is a Kevin Smith story, and it's like almost all.
- 11:19Speaker 1: Like nonverbal. It's like a silent comic that Kevin Smith wrote.
- 11:23Speaker 2: And then you like you just see the life of
- 11:27Speaker 2: Bruce Wayne and Batman, and that was quite possibly one
- 11:31Speaker 2: of the best comics I've ever seen Kevin Smith write.
- 11:34Speaker 2: So if you want to see like like visual storytelling
- 11:39Speaker 2: from Kevin Smith, definitely go check Detective Comics one thousand.
- 11:44Speaker 2: That kind of put me back in the ring of
- 11:46Speaker 2: like man, Kevin Smith is amazing writer. Yeah, and then
- 11:51Speaker 2: if you just want silliness, go ahead and go check
- 11:55Speaker 2: out Jay and Silent Bob meet.
- 12:01Speaker 1: That was really really fun.
- 12:03Speaker 3: Clay, we have somebody in the chat?
- 12:07Speaker 1: Uh Yeah, Guy V E. E J eight.
- 12:11Speaker 2: This is Adrian. Adrian is a really good friend of
- 12:15Speaker 2: the stream of the of the podcast, and he has
- 12:19Speaker 2: been here several times. He wanted to join us on
- 12:22Speaker 2: our conversation of UH the Ninth Jedi UH. And so
- 12:27Speaker 2: he is day Adrian, what about you? What is your thoughts?
- 12:33Speaker 4: I mean, I love Kevin Smith. I think he's great love.
- 12:37Speaker 4: I even love this stuff that he does, like with
- 12:38Speaker 4: his daughter, like the Horror Week he does with his daughter.
- 12:40Speaker 4: Great Kevin's is awesome. I don't know who's asking for this.
- 12:47Speaker 2: It's it's so funny because this is I didn't want
- 12:50Speaker 2: to ask.
- 12:53Speaker 1: Well. I pulled up I pulled up the Marvel I
- 12:55Speaker 1: pulled up the Marvel interview.
- 12:56Speaker 4: And apparently the Marvel Comics editor in chief has been
- 12:59Speaker 4: waiting for this since me pick them up. So I
- 13:01Speaker 4: guess they've been waiting for this. But I guess he's
- 13:04Speaker 4: the only one because it's been only it's been twelve years.
- 13:07Speaker 4: And I remember once thought, you know what I really want?
- 13:09Speaker 4: I really want a goofy comic with Star Wars, with.
- 13:14Speaker 1: Doom Invader. I just don't know. I just don't want it.
- 13:17Speaker 1: I just don't want it. I don't want it, don't
- 13:19Speaker 1: you say that?
- 13:19Speaker 2: I do think for like some sort of like Disney Anniversary.
- 13:23Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure Marvel has done a what if with
- 13:26Speaker 2: Disney characters.
- 13:29Speaker 1: But it's funny that you bring up the who do
- 13:31Speaker 1: you who wants this?
- 13:32Speaker 2: Because the actual gua chat that we have Katie unfortunately
- 13:38Speaker 2: is no longer fortunately and unfortunately not a part of
- 13:41Speaker 2: them because it's on Twitter unfortunately, Like everybody is kind
- 13:45Speaker 2: of just staying there for the messages and for the
- 13:47Speaker 2: group chat. We've been talking about a Star Wars Marvel
- 13:52Speaker 2: crossover for like almost two years now.
- 13:55Speaker 4: We've been like, heyn, I just don't what does it
- 13:59Speaker 4: look like like like to keep us in the Skywalker era?
- 14:04Speaker 1: Are we just going back to a new hope again?
- 14:08Speaker 4: Are we just going to have everything again but this
- 14:11Speaker 4: time but this time there's Marvel superheroes in it? Like
- 14:15Speaker 4: I just I'm just there's like the Kylo Ren comic
- 14:18Speaker 4: came out this week. I'm much more excited for the
- 14:20Speaker 4: new Kyla Ren comic than I am for you know.
- 14:23Speaker 1: But I think that that's also like my bias.
- 14:24Speaker 4: Where I think that the comics are like one of
- 14:26Speaker 4: the purest forms of like cannon storytelling in Star Wars currently,
- 14:30Speaker 4: and this muddies it and gets us back to it
- 14:34Speaker 4: just being.
- 14:35Speaker 1: Like Transformers X Star.
- 14:38Speaker 4: Trek and we're just here for like the fun of
- 14:40Speaker 4: the vibes, and it's it's the It's the bad part
- 14:43Speaker 4: of Disney owning all of this is that they're like,
- 14:45Speaker 4: we can just give this to Kevin Smith. Everybody loves
- 14:48Speaker 4: Kevin Smith. We'll just it just seems it just seems
- 14:51Speaker 4: like an easy sell for them. I would have preferred, like,
- 14:53Speaker 4: if you're gonna get Patton Oswell, I think it would
- 14:56Speaker 4: have been great to write you get Patton Oswald. I'm
- 14:58Speaker 4: that I'm in it. I just don't not that. I
- 15:02Speaker 4: don't think Kevin Smith can write great Star Wars. I
- 15:03Speaker 4: know he can write great Marvel, but can he write
- 15:05Speaker 4: great Star Wars the same way like a Charles Soul
- 15:08Speaker 4: or a Cavin Scott or a George Man can write
- 15:12Speaker 4: Star Wars.
- 15:13Speaker 1: I don't know, because I haven't seen him do it.
- 15:15Speaker 4: So yeah, I feel like it's going to lean more
- 15:17Speaker 4: Marvel than it is Star Wars, and that's kind of
- 15:19Speaker 4: what I'm worried about.
- 15:20Speaker 3: Yeah, this is the I want to pull in somebody
- 15:23Speaker 3: famous who everybody loves and try and see. And I
- 15:26Speaker 3: get it being a New Hope related because it's for
- 15:29Speaker 3: the fiftieth anniversary, But also, wasn't there a Legends Marvel
- 15:33Speaker 3: comic like where they crossed over, because like everything I've
- 15:37Speaker 3: read online says, oh, this is the first of it's kind,
- 15:39Speaker 3: I'm fairly certain there was one in Legends.
- 15:42Speaker 4: And I'll be honest, I don't like the team of
- 15:44Speaker 4: I don't like who they have on these these things together.
- 15:46Speaker 1: I don't think that these characters go together.
- 15:48Speaker 4: And I think that like putting cantterin America and Luke
- 15:51Speaker 4: Skywalker is the most white bread thing we could do,
- 15:55Speaker 4: put Luke Skywalker in Doom in the same thing, like,
- 15:58Speaker 4: let's challenge these dude, let's let's let's go crazy.
- 16:02Speaker 1: I agree.
- 16:03Speaker 2: I agree because having Chewbacca with Wolverine is very like, Okay,
- 16:10Speaker 2: that's too on the nose, Like you could be genuine
- 16:14Speaker 2: with Groot and Rocket.
- 16:15Speaker 4: And then I guess Silock is that Silock that's going
- 16:18Speaker 4: to be there, And the thing, it just doesn't seem
- 16:20Speaker 4: very It seems like you asked chat Chivt to put
- 16:24Speaker 4: a bunch of characters together, and like this is what
- 16:26Speaker 4: we this is what we're getting like Daredevil and Daredevil,
- 16:30Speaker 4: Deadpool and some Javas and Hawkeye and Obi wan Kenobi.
- 16:36Speaker 4: That does not sound interesting to me, like in the
- 16:38Speaker 4: slightest unfortunately. But there are other combinations that would be cool.
- 16:41Speaker 4: You put Luke, you put Luke with Doctor Doom, I'm
- 16:44Speaker 4: here for it. You put you put Hulk with Chewbacca.
- 16:47Speaker 4: I'm here for it, like I would. I think this,
- 16:51Speaker 4: read it, I'll read it.
- 16:52Speaker 1: I'm not excited for it.
- 16:53Speaker 2: This news comes out in a very like like interesting
- 16:58Speaker 2: time because little really on the schedule for our discussions.
- 17:02Speaker 2: A little spoiler for you guys, we've actually been planning
- 17:04Speaker 2: this for like almost a year now. We were planning
- 17:07Speaker 2: our own a discussion of Star Wars what ifs like
- 17:13Speaker 2: that could happen as far as like uh TV shows
- 17:17Speaker 2: and or comics stories that they could be putting out
- 17:20Speaker 2: and love and behold crossover here. But the one thing
- 17:24Speaker 2: that I did want to mention also is this is
- 17:28Speaker 2: quite possibly not the only crossover that's going to happen,
- 17:33Speaker 2: because there has been some leaked I guess I didn't
- 17:42Speaker 2: know people actually did this, but there's people out there
- 17:46Speaker 2: looking at future Lego code. Yeah, and so there has
- 17:56Speaker 2: been a leaked confirmation of the Falcon. There is Iron.
- 18:04Speaker 1: Three, po War two D two, Spider.
- 18:08Speaker 2: Han, Captain Alderon, and Hulk Bacha these types.
- 18:16Speaker 1: Now this.
- 18:20Speaker 2: I'm not entirely sure if this is a case of
- 18:25Speaker 2: key Man in the sense of is the show coming
- 18:28Speaker 2: first or is the toy coming first? Because I can
- 18:31Speaker 2: definitely see a Disney Plus Lego special coming out and
- 18:38Speaker 2: then the toys promote that, or the toys are the
- 18:44Speaker 2: test subject for an eventual Lego special on Disney Plus.
- 18:51Speaker 2: I like the Lego idea more so than the comic
- 18:55Speaker 2: crossover in my humble opinion.
- 18:58Speaker 1: That's just me though. Yeah, I do a Lego thing,
- 19:01Speaker 1: make it goofy. Yeah. I just hope that they think
- 19:06Speaker 1: it's seriously man like.
- 19:07Speaker 4: I like, like, I'm reading this article and and it
- 19:09Speaker 4: seems like, Oh. I I had Marvel Star Wars Marvel
- 19:13Speaker 4: comics back in the day, and I used to think,
- 19:16Speaker 4: what did he say here?
- 19:17Speaker 1: Again? I look at Smith, it'd dreamed it dream to
- 19:20Speaker 1: interview him. I'm sure, I'm sure he's great. He said.
- 19:24Speaker 4: Back in the early eighties, I had his re Christian
- 19:26Speaker 4: to Marvel Star Wars comics, and it's as fun as
- 19:27Speaker 4: it was to follow the Avengers of luke leyan Han.
- 19:30Speaker 4: I'd always wish that Spider Man or Doctor Doom could
- 19:32Speaker 4: cross over into their cinematic saga. What I just this
- 19:38Speaker 4: is not what I'm thinking when I'm reading these stories.
- 19:40Speaker 4: It's just not And and to me that just it's
- 19:43Speaker 4: just gonna it seems like the more I'm reading into
- 19:46Speaker 4: it just seems like it's gonna be Kid in the
- 19:48Speaker 4: Candy Store.
- 19:49Speaker 1: We're just gonna throw some stuff together.
- 19:51Speaker 4: Yeah, and we're just gonna Ryan Johnson the hell out
- 19:54Speaker 4: of this and then just make the fan film that
- 19:55Speaker 4: Kevin Smith wants to make. But I'm sure it will
- 19:57Speaker 4: be great. I'm sure it'll be great, but I'm not
- 19:59Speaker 4: I don't think it's going to be the I don't
- 20:04Speaker 4: think it's like'd be the great edition to like, I
- 20:06Speaker 4: think this with the Lego thing, it does seem like
- 20:09Speaker 4: we're just we're just trying to make some more Legos,
- 20:11Speaker 4: which is.
- 20:13Speaker 2: You know, I, oh my gosh, Like I I did
- 20:17Speaker 2: not realize, or at least I believe that I just
- 20:21Speaker 2: recently started to realize the money that Lego puts on
- 20:26Speaker 2: the table, because like, as a kid, it's just like legos,
- 20:31Speaker 2: And then as an adult you're like, oh, one box
- 20:36Speaker 2: is seventy two dollars.
- 20:38Speaker 1: Yeah cool, and wait find out how much it takes to.
- 20:42Speaker 4: Make the lego, like like, oh, we're just getting overcharged
- 20:47Speaker 4: for some from Plastic.
- 20:48Speaker 2: I love this and I think this, like genuinely, the crossover,
- 20:54Speaker 2: the Star Wars comic crossover with Marble, is going to
- 20:59Speaker 2: be the most Scooby Doo d c crossover we're probably
- 21:04Speaker 2: ever gonna get. If you guys don't understand that reference,
- 21:09Speaker 2: go look up Super Friends and Scooby Doo.
- 21:21Speaker 1: It is.
- 21:21Speaker 2: It's just Saturday morning craziness. Like doesn't make sense how
- 21:25Speaker 2: they meet, but here we are, so I.
- 21:30Speaker 4: Think we're like, who are you gonna make fold? Like
- 21:32Speaker 4: who's folding between Vader and Doctor Doom when they're in
- 21:35Speaker 4: the same room together.
- 21:36Speaker 2: Yeah, well, this is why. This is why I like
- 21:40Speaker 2: And here's the thing. These are two properties that Marvel owns, right.
- 21:45Speaker 2: This is completely different than that of the most recent
- 21:51Speaker 2: revitalization of DC and Marvel, where they had to make
- 21:54Speaker 2: two completely different stories so that way Marvel can fold
- 21:58Speaker 2: on one and DC can fold on another, and they
- 22:01Speaker 2: both went you know this it's just kind of weird
- 22:06Speaker 2: because it's like you have your two biggest properties.
- 22:09Speaker 1: It's just like.
- 22:12Speaker 2: This is gonna cause so much strife online already. If
- 22:16Speaker 2: it is going to be a point of contention of
- 22:19Speaker 2: like hey, this one folds or this one folds, or
- 22:21Speaker 2: even worse if none of them fold.
- 22:24Speaker 1: Yeah, and if we're just gonna base this off a
- 22:26Speaker 1: new hope because.
- 22:26Speaker 4: I'm just thinking about it more of like timeline wise,
- 22:28Speaker 4: there's just so many more characters on this paper that
- 22:31Speaker 4: are Marvel than our Star Wars. There's like for every
- 22:34Speaker 4: three or four Marvel characters on this there's a Star
- 22:38Speaker 4: Wars character.
- 22:38Speaker 1: So what do we even? What story are we telling?
- 22:41Speaker 1: What story are we telling?
- 22:42Speaker 4: That's gonna Yeah, we worked so fucking hard, man, We
- 22:47Speaker 4: work so hard to make like the literature for Star
- 22:50Speaker 4: Wars be legitimized in like the Cannon where you know
- 22:54Speaker 4: again the legacy of Uh or like the Fall of
- 22:57Speaker 4: Kylo Ren came out today. We have new Kylo a
- 23:00Speaker 4: Ren lord today on New Comic Book Day, right, And
- 23:03Speaker 4: that's not gonna be what this is gonna It's gonna
- 23:05Speaker 4: be like, well, did you see the did you see
- 23:06Speaker 4: the death battle between Vader and whatever and this is
- 23:11Speaker 4: and and whoever wins is just gonna whoever Kevin Smith
- 23:13Speaker 4: thinks wins. And if Kevin Smith chooses Marvel over like
- 23:16Speaker 4: the Star Wars property, I'm gonna be upset. I think
- 23:18Speaker 4: I think I'm gonna be mad if Doctor Doom is
- 23:21Speaker 4: over here taking over the Empire.
- 23:23Speaker 3: From Star Wars?
- 23:27Speaker 4: Who are we going? Are they going over here? Are
- 23:29Speaker 4: we going over here? Who's going where?
- 23:32Speaker 2: I think that it'll be the Marvel universe somehow gets
- 23:37Speaker 2: into the Star Wars universe, And I do think it'll
- 23:41Speaker 2: be a Hey, Doom wants to take over, and then
- 23:43Speaker 2: they have a actual conversation and they all decide to
- 23:47Speaker 2: attack the good guys, So it'll be the good guys.
- 23:51Speaker 4: We have Scarlett Witch like the og Scarlet Witch' is
- 23:54Speaker 4: like op as hell.
- 23:54Speaker 1: Who could just like blink all this out? I don't know.
- 23:57Speaker 4: I'm just getting tripped up on the power scaling and
- 23:59Speaker 4: the the yes.
- 24:06Speaker 2: The I feel like the two most important days of
- 24:10Speaker 2: this crossover will be the first issue and the last
- 24:13Speaker 2: issue when it comes to the discourse that's going to
- 24:17Speaker 2: be happening online for this I just want it to
- 24:22Speaker 2: be fun. But I know it's not gonna make sense,
- 24:25Speaker 2: so I'm not gonna try to think too much into it.
- 24:29Speaker 2: And again, like I said, the connecting cover is probably
- 24:34Speaker 2: what's gonna sell me on this. It's just like okay, like, hey,
- 24:37Speaker 2: it's something that I collect. I probably won't be able
- 24:41Speaker 2: to pick it up day one unfortunately, but yeah, it
- 24:46Speaker 2: is what it is.
- 24:48Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 24:49Speaker 2: So but I think that is it for our news.
- 24:55Speaker 2: Nothing too big other than the fact that this weekend,
- 24:59Speaker 2: by the time you're listening to this on Saturday and Sunday,
- 25:03Speaker 2: D twenty three will be going on and we are
- 25:09Speaker 2: rumored to and not when I say we, I mean
- 25:12Speaker 2: like just general public attendees of D twenty three are
- 25:15Speaker 2: going to be able to see the Starfighter trailer that
- 25:20Speaker 2: was at I'm assuming the same trailer that was at
- 25:23Speaker 2: Star Wars celebration unless they get an was the celebration No,
- 25:30Speaker 2: I guess that announce celebration.
- 25:33Speaker 1: No, it wasn't a trailer. You're right, you're right, you're right.
- 25:35Speaker 2: This will be the first trailer they are rumored to
- 25:39Speaker 2: be unveiling that at D twenty three, and then it's
- 25:43Speaker 2: rumored that we won't get that trailer until December. Whether
- 25:47Speaker 2: that be during Dune or during Doomsday. So we'll see
- 25:53Speaker 2: what other news comes out of d twenty three. There
- 25:57Speaker 2: has been a lot, of course, when it comes to
- 26:01Speaker 2: rumors of studios, you know, backtracking on TV, going up
- 26:05Speaker 2: more scale of movies and all of that stuff. So
- 26:08Speaker 2: I don't think we're gonna be getting any news or
- 26:12Speaker 2: any new news of any type of TV shows or
- 26:16Speaker 2: anything like that, unfortunately.
- 26:18Speaker 3: So it's just gonna be footage description more than likely.
- 26:21Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 26:22Speaker 2: Yeah, but if we can, let's go ahead and jump
- 26:28Speaker 2: into our discussion of the Ninth Jedi episodes five through eight.
- 26:36Speaker 4: Uh.
- 26:37Speaker 1: This is of course, Uh the second week, we decided
- 26:41Speaker 1: to break it.
- 26:42Speaker 2: Up because we were like, hey, we want to talk
- 26:45Speaker 2: more content. Adrian, I'm gonna go with you first, because,
- 26:51Speaker 2: like I said, you sent me that message and you
- 26:53Speaker 2: were super excited to talk about this, even saying like, hey,
- 26:57Speaker 2: this one could have been a weekly show with conversation
- 27:04Speaker 2: around it. Uh, so what are what are your initial
- 27:07Speaker 2: thoughts when you first saw episodes.
- 27:10Speaker 1: Five through eight?
- 27:12Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 27:12Speaker 1: If I three, that were great. I think it really.
- 27:16Speaker 4: Diverged from like the cause I know that when we
- 27:18Speaker 4: first talked about this a couple of weeks ago, we're like, Oh,
- 27:20Speaker 4: it's gonna be I don't care. You were worried about it,
- 27:22Speaker 4: like being like a new hope thing, and that was
- 27:24Speaker 4: kind of been through through a lot of it, and
- 27:25Speaker 4: I think five is where we kind of got away
- 27:28Speaker 4: from that and we got to see what it's like
- 27:33Speaker 4: when these Jedi don't have no emotions, and it's even worse.
- 27:41Speaker 4: It's like the biggest. It's like the biggest, like f
- 27:44Speaker 4: you to people who are like, we're all the grade Jedi, Well,
- 27:47Speaker 4: this is what would happen if you had greate Jedi.
- 27:49Speaker 4: So yeah, I thought they were great. I thought episode
- 27:52Speaker 4: five specifically was great.
- 27:55Speaker 1: What did she say? I've worked on what you say? Uh?
- 27:58Speaker 4: In episode five, after she kind of after she like
- 28:03Speaker 4: freezed the village from the thing that she started, she's like,
- 28:06Speaker 4: you're safe.
- 28:07Speaker 1: I killed them all with like them all, she.
- 28:11Speaker 2: Was killed them all.
- 28:14Speaker 1: She has no idea. She did not see that her
- 28:18Speaker 1: dad wasn't killing people.
- 28:19Speaker 4: She did not see that, like even her master wasn't
- 28:23Speaker 4: even intentionally trying to kill it. She got none of that.
- 28:25Speaker 4: She got none of that, and then she went full
- 28:28Speaker 4: full into it, and I thought it was fantastic. Homeboy
- 28:31Speaker 4: pointing the fucking lightsaber at the ships.
- 28:34Speaker 1: Yes, Yeah, it was so good. It was so good,
- 28:37Speaker 1: And I think that's where.
- 28:38Speaker 4: I think that was the initial story that they told,
- 28:40Speaker 4: and I think everything else felt like kind of the
- 28:42Speaker 4: backstory for it. But this five through eight was like
- 28:45Speaker 4: the story that they actually wanted to tell, and I
- 28:46Speaker 4: think it worked out.
- 28:47Speaker 1: For the most part pretty well.
- 28:49Speaker 4: I thought the ending was kind of like, kind of
- 28:50Speaker 4: rushed a little bit, like we make them turn back
- 28:53Speaker 4: already and or make them turn to the bar. I'm
- 28:55Speaker 4: gonna felt a little bit rushed and little little antiquated.
- 28:58Speaker 4: But until that point, I mean I was bought in.
- 29:00Speaker 4: Give everyone a white saber. Oh yeah, you can wield it. Yeah,
- 29:04Speaker 4: you should get one. You're not a bad person and
- 29:07Speaker 4: you can wield it and you're not gonna go kill
- 29:08Speaker 4: anybody with it.
- 29:09Speaker 1: You should get one. Hit Sabercolor matters again. Cool, I'm
- 29:12Speaker 1: with it.
- 29:13Speaker 2: So, Adrian, you will get this reference more than Katie
- 29:17Speaker 2: will because she still has not watched the cinematics for
- 29:20Speaker 2: this game, But it was very much Knights of the
- 29:24Speaker 2: Old Republic for me. Yeah, in that game, Katie, the
- 29:29Speaker 2: really fun thing is that you find companions on different planets,
- 29:33Speaker 2: sometimes and it all depends on if you recruit them
- 29:37Speaker 2: and then if you talk to them enough and get
- 29:40Speaker 2: them into a like friendlier relationship. Sometimes even those people,
- 29:45Speaker 2: whether they be scoundrels or just random people, they can
- 29:49Speaker 2: like turn into Jedi. They can like actually learn about
- 29:52Speaker 2: the force and learn to wield lightsabers and stuff.
- 29:56Speaker 1: And so I feel like this was very much cod So.
- 29:59Speaker 4: Yeah, so you think good or bad based on like
- 30:03Speaker 4: what your stance was, And yeah, I didn't even really
- 30:04Speaker 4: think about that, but yeah, that's pretty much how it was.
- 30:07Speaker 1: And even the I don't remember her name off the
- 30:09Speaker 1: top of my head, but the.
- 30:12Speaker 4: I just I just know what she looks like, the
- 30:14Speaker 4: lady from the planet where this where they initially had
- 30:17Speaker 4: the Yeah, she was great. I can't wait for my
- 30:20Speaker 4: wife to cosplay that lady. I was like, yes, give
- 30:22Speaker 4: her a lightsaber. Dutchess a teen should have been had
- 30:25Speaker 4: a lightsaber, Like what do you mean? Yeah, so yeah, yeah,
- 30:28Speaker 4: I was. I was with it. I loved I love
- 30:30Speaker 4: I loved I loved that because it really challenged and
- 30:33Speaker 4: I in my review I wrote about it, I was like,
- 30:34Speaker 4: what is like the biggest question they're trying to ask here?
- 30:37Speaker 4: And what is a Jedi? What makes a Jedi? And
- 30:39Speaker 4: I think this one answers it great. It's not just
- 30:42Speaker 4: the amount of med of Chlorians you have. It's not
- 30:43Speaker 4: just about even whether or not you can even wield
- 30:45Speaker 4: a lightsaber or NOTx We've seen so many times that
- 30:47Speaker 4: that doesn't matter in our Cannon of Star Wars that
- 30:52Speaker 4: what's on the inside, what's on the inside, and what
- 30:54Speaker 4: choices are you making? Yeah, what are you? What are
- 30:57Speaker 4: you doing with all of the information? What choice do
- 30:59Speaker 4: you make? Do you do you kill this?
- 31:01Speaker 2: Oh?
- 31:02Speaker 4: God and d it was like later in the episode,
- 31:04Speaker 4: but like she learns that she don't got to kill people.
- 31:06Speaker 1: You definitely don't have to. You definitely do not have
- 31:09Speaker 1: to do it.
- 31:10Speaker 4: And we are so like, well, lightsaber battle, chop their
- 31:16Speaker 4: legs off, Trup, Like, that's not what the Jedi want
- 31:18Speaker 4: to do. It's never what the Jedi want to do.
- 31:20Speaker 4: We have a whole book for the Dark Disciple of
- 31:22Speaker 4: about how conflicted they are of trying to assassinate Count Dooku. Yeah,
- 31:28Speaker 4: you know, the guy literally committing genocides across like they're
- 31:32Speaker 4: they're having a hard time intentionally trying to kill that man.
- 31:43Speaker 4: That should tell you all you need to know about
- 31:45Speaker 4: how they don't want to be having to do this
- 31:47Speaker 4: and don't they don't want to have to be killing
- 31:49Speaker 4: all these people and then seeing how this new Jedi
- 31:52Speaker 4: order that they're forming now is like just get rid
- 31:56Speaker 4: of all that stuff and just take like the best
- 31:57Speaker 4: parts with it.
- 31:58Speaker 1: And we're not even going to do you need to
- 32:00Speaker 1: be for sensitive? Do you do? You follow the thing?
- 32:02Speaker 4: Like it's like, Uh, the Guardians of Wee, all those
- 32:07Speaker 4: you should have probably had lightsabers. We should just give
- 32:09Speaker 4: them lightsabers. They a new uh rogue one probably goes
- 32:12Speaker 4: a lot different. If if you get Donia in a lightsaber,
- 32:16Speaker 4: it's over for for everybody there.
- 32:17Speaker 1: Yeah, and I loved it. I loved it. I love
- 32:20Speaker 1: the story with the dad. How that all, how all
- 32:21Speaker 1: that stuff played out.
- 32:22Speaker 4: Wasn't in four or five where we find out about
- 32:25Speaker 4: like the silver the silver Saber or something it was
- 32:28Speaker 4: in It.
- 32:29Speaker 1: Was in four.
- 32:30Speaker 4: Yeah, god man, that scene was so good. It was
- 32:33Speaker 4: seen and every time it happened just like, ah, they
- 32:35Speaker 4: just went ultra instinct with this and I'm here for it.
- 32:40Speaker 2: When in the final like not the final battle, but
- 32:44Speaker 2: like before the final battle, Uh, when you see her
- 32:49Speaker 2: father and no them uh fighting, and then it just
- 32:53Speaker 2: cuts to them and they're like, oh, somebody's coming and
- 32:57Speaker 2: it's him walking through the door.
- 32:59Speaker 1: Her ocean is just like she cracks. She's like, oh
- 33:03Speaker 1: my god.
- 33:04Speaker 2: And like you said, ultra instinct, they're moving really fast.
- 33:07Speaker 2: I think literally couldn't be tracked. I was like, oh,
- 33:09Speaker 2: I want to dress this. This is how I've always
- 33:14Speaker 2: wanted to view Star Wars. Yeah, like the potential and
- 33:18Speaker 2: like even the story, like recently that I think it's
- 33:22Speaker 2: an older story, but recently because of all the interviews
- 33:25Speaker 2: that Ian McGregor has been having recently, he reiterated the
- 33:29Speaker 2: idea of like how they had to slow down the
- 33:32Speaker 2: tracking when during episode one, when him and I forgot
- 33:39Speaker 2: the actor's name but mal Or in their final battle,
- 33:43Speaker 2: they were moving so fast because they had rehearsed it
- 33:45Speaker 2: and memorized it so well that they can do it
- 33:47Speaker 2: at their top speeds or whatever. It's like, Hey, that
- 33:52Speaker 2: put into animation limitless possibilities and we saw that and
- 33:56Speaker 2: it's beautiful, man, beautiful.
- 34:00Speaker 1: What about you?
- 34:01Speaker 2: What are your initial thoughts? You know, Para going on
- 34:07Speaker 2: a murders free her getting her lightsaber changed to from
- 34:15Speaker 2: green to red to silver everything, Like what was your
- 34:20Speaker 2: thought process through everything?
- 34:22Speaker 3: I actually loved that visual storytelling, especially at the end
- 34:25Speaker 3: where she kind of puts it together and it's like,
- 34:28Speaker 3: you know what, I do need emotions here and they
- 34:30Speaker 3: need to be on the right side, because I think
- 34:34Speaker 3: that story that's told in the prequel trilogy and like
- 34:40Speaker 3: what Yoda tries to follow up on and then Luke
- 34:43Speaker 3: later on, there's like, Okay, we need to cut everything out,
- 34:46Speaker 3: like you need to be at peace with everything. There's
- 34:50Speaker 3: no emotional feeling. I love this side of it because,
- 34:54Speaker 3: as we know, we're all human, we're all people in
- 34:58Speaker 3: the Star Wars galaxy. Everybody got their own emotions. That's
- 35:02Speaker 3: what makes us human, that's what makes his people like
- 35:05Speaker 3: so to be able to feel that make gives you
- 35:10Speaker 3: that edge and understanding above. Hey, we're just gonna cut
- 35:15Speaker 3: all of it out if if we kill people, like,
- 35:17Speaker 3: it's not the end of the world kind of thing. No,
- 35:19Speaker 3: that's not that's not what a Jedi needs to be,
- 35:23Speaker 3: Like you said, Adrian, like the Jedi should be focused
- 35:26Speaker 3: on saving life wherever possible, because force is life at
- 35:32Speaker 3: the end of So I love that storytelling and that
- 35:38Speaker 3: realization that car comes to at the end and like, oh, well,
- 35:42Speaker 3: my father's doing this, but you know what that that's
- 35:45Speaker 3: not what I want to be at the end of
- 35:47Speaker 3: the day, and my father wanted something better for me,
- 35:49Speaker 3: so I can step away from that kind of thing.
- 35:51Speaker 3: I love that. I actually love how much Space Battle.
- 35:55Speaker 5: We got so much battle, so much Space Battle of it,
- 36:02Speaker 5: and the joy designs so good.
- 36:06Speaker 3: It's fantastic. And we really did not talk about the
- 36:10Speaker 3: voice acting last week. I only got a chance to
- 36:13Speaker 3: do the English version. I did not get a chance
- 36:15Speaker 3: to do the sub track of it. But I gotta say, uh,
- 36:22Speaker 3: Simoulu did an incredible job as the father in these
- 36:27Speaker 3: last four episodes, in particular, just because he makes that
- 36:31Speaker 3: much more of a presence. But then, uh, kimmyk Glynn
- 36:35Speaker 3: does an incredible job as Kara.
- 36:37Speaker 1: Like delivers that you're safe now. I killed them all
- 36:45Speaker 1: deliveries of the entire show. Oh my god, it's so good.
- 36:48Speaker 3: And I bet she took a look at the script
- 36:49Speaker 3: and it was like, is this you want me to
- 36:52Speaker 3: say this?
- 36:53Speaker 2: Are you sure with what type of inflection?
- 36:56Speaker 3: Exactly exactly? But no incredible voice acting crew all around.
- 37:03Speaker 3: But I did want to shout out Simu and Camiko
- 37:07Speaker 3: in particular, especially for these last four episodes. I loved
- 37:12Speaker 3: the Lightsaber choreography that got It felt very different compared
- 37:18Speaker 3: to the animated Lightsaber e Fects that we've had previously,
- 37:22Speaker 3: and that's because it's anime. So I appreciated that it
- 37:25Speaker 3: was different and kind of ran those different things. I
- 37:30Speaker 3: will say just on the translation part with the sub,
- 37:33Speaker 3: when Carus says take out the power unit, I had
- 37:37Speaker 3: no idea what she was talking about. When they're trying
- 37:40Speaker 3: to crash the cannon onto heat Islam, I was like,
- 37:44Speaker 3: what is the power unit like? And they oh, Kazana.
- 37:48Speaker 3: I think it's Kazana. Kuana goes take out the engines.
- 37:53Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, okay, that's what we're talking about. So,
- 37:56Speaker 3: just like some little things with like the translation, I
- 37:58Speaker 3: am excited to go in and the sub, but again
- 38:01Speaker 3: ready ground with the toddler, don't have the time to
- 38:06Speaker 3: read this ups to get like.
- 38:08Speaker 4: This hilarious, I put on the audio description in English.
- 38:11Speaker 4: During the I went back and watched the the fight
- 38:17Speaker 4: with the dad just I wanted to see like what
- 38:20Speaker 4: is like, what is what are we looking at here?
- 38:22Speaker 4: It's such a silent scene. I think it's hilarious they
- 38:25Speaker 4: use a British uh there, use a British voice for
- 38:30Speaker 4: like the English description for this.
- 38:31Speaker 1: I think it's so it's a.
- 38:33Speaker 4: Real jarring but I but it also felt like I
- 38:37Speaker 4: was like I was watching an audiobook. So if you
- 38:39Speaker 4: need like another way to go watch it, I highly
- 38:41Speaker 4: recommend the audio description.
- 38:43Speaker 1: Because it's they do a pretty good job. Awesome.
- 38:46Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll have to go check that out. One thing
- 38:49Speaker 2: that we we haven't mentioned yet, uh, we had Gino
- 38:55Speaker 2: turned into General Gravis at the very beginning of the.
- 39:00Speaker 1: Last episode five.
- 39:03Speaker 2: I thought this was kind of cool. It gives a
- 39:06Speaker 2: lovely homage to the character of General Grievous. He was
- 39:11Speaker 2: kind of like he was just your typical henchman, like
- 39:15Speaker 2: nothing too big, you know. He did have again a
- 39:20Speaker 2: part of the final fight with Zema near the end
- 39:24Speaker 2: when they were at the very first spot the very
- 39:27Speaker 2: first episode of Visions season one, you know, back at
- 39:33Speaker 2: that giant Crystal. I liked how they kind of brought
- 39:36Speaker 2: that back into playing. I thought that was very very.
- 39:39Speaker 3: Nice, I would agree, and that's he the temple that
- 39:42Speaker 3: he is lying yes planet.
- 39:45Speaker 2: Yeah, I will say some of the things that we
- 39:50Speaker 2: were predicting Katie did not necessarily come true.
- 39:54Speaker 1: With Ethan and with Homan.
- 40:01Speaker 2: We wanted those two characters to have a little bit
- 40:03Speaker 2: more of a prominent role. Now that we had the
- 40:09Speaker 2: death of Duro and that did not come into fruition.
- 40:14Speaker 3: Jura still managed to stick around.
- 40:16Speaker 2: He did we get to see We get to see
- 40:19Speaker 2: his Force ghosts a total of two times.
- 40:24Speaker 1: I what did you guys think about that? So visually.
- 40:31Speaker 2: And storytelling wise, the first time he pops up, it's
- 40:38Speaker 2: almost set up as a dream, whereas the last time
- 40:41Speaker 2: you see him in the very end of the series,
- 40:45Speaker 2: he's sitting at the table with the new Council as
- 40:49Speaker 2: a Force ghost. How'd you guys feel about that whole thing?
- 40:54Speaker 3: I definitely thought the first time was a dream because
- 40:57Speaker 3: the color on her prison cage changed so it was red,
- 41:03Speaker 3: and then when the forest ghost is there's purple, so
- 41:06Speaker 3: it's like, this is definitely dream.
- 41:09Speaker 2: Okay, okay, some visual stuff changing there.
- 41:12Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean I thought it was just forest
- 41:17Speaker 4: ghosts in general, or at least yeah, it's the force
- 41:19Speaker 4: coast are so hard to like, what like we even
- 41:22Speaker 4: you know, is it like he's is Louke hallucinating on
- 41:25Speaker 4: on Hof or is he really seeing him?
- 41:28Speaker 1: You know what I mean? So situations, who knows. I
- 41:32Speaker 1: lean on the.
- 41:32Speaker 4: Side of the forest ghost that that that that that
- 41:35Speaker 4: was there. But I do think that she got the
- 41:37Speaker 4: wrong message from the forest ghost in that one. She
- 41:41Speaker 4: had the wrong This is when she was in that cage.
- 41:43Speaker 4: She's not doing what her dad did when he was
- 41:45Speaker 4: in the cage, when he could have just left whenever
- 41:47Speaker 4: he wanted.
- 41:48Speaker 1: Oh my god, he's so freaking straw God. I love
- 41:51Speaker 1: watching him fight.
- 41:52Speaker 4: God, he's such a good fighter, and and and and
- 41:54Speaker 4: for the Geno things specifically too, we're like, okay, yeah,
- 41:57Speaker 4: he could have He could have killed Geno two episodes ago.
- 42:00Speaker 1: If he really really really really wanted to, really needed to.
- 42:04Speaker 1: And even in the fighting, I love that he uses
- 42:07Speaker 1: the show too. Blade.
- 42:07Speaker 4: I love that he uses a short blade and he
- 42:09Speaker 4: intentionally makes his blade short. There's just so many like
- 42:12Speaker 4: little things and the and how each of them fight
- 42:17Speaker 4: that feels so specific that it was It was great,
- 42:21Speaker 4: but I would have liked to get more of of
- 42:23Speaker 4: my boy home.
- 42:24Speaker 1: And he's the coolest looking guy. Man, He's a cool.
- 42:30Speaker 4: We're going to see him fight in the hallway with
- 42:32Speaker 4: the with the elf dwarf guy, which is great character designs.
- 42:35Speaker 4: By the way, I love the way those guys look.
- 42:37Speaker 4: Those guys are some of the coolest new new designs ever.
- 42:39Speaker 4: Give me, give me the High Fantasy with my Star Wars.
- 42:42Speaker 4: That's kind of crossover I want. But I was like,
- 42:45Speaker 4: he's just he's just getting like a a nothing holloway
- 42:49Speaker 4: scene and that's pretty much it. Like he doesn't really
- 42:50Speaker 4: have much to do outside of that, even you know,
- 42:54Speaker 4: even uh, you know Kawana is like leading a group
- 43:00Speaker 4: of people, right.
- 43:02Speaker 2: He's doing it so you recognize his voice actor for
- 43:08Speaker 2: for for Homan.
- 43:10Speaker 4: Patrick seats yes, yes, jeer in again again.
- 43:17Speaker 1: Why I wanted more and I don't And I don't
- 43:22Speaker 1: know why.
- 43:24Speaker 4: Maybe because oh he's already into he was already in
- 43:26Speaker 4: like the first one, and you could guess all you
- 43:27Speaker 4: need to know. But I would have liked some backstories,
- 43:30Speaker 4: some flashby and get my man something.
- 43:32Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 43:33Speaker 2: I I really really dig his character design. And you
- 43:39Speaker 2: know the idea of like putting so much responsibility on
- 43:45Speaker 2: Ethan as well, Like I was like, Okay, there's got
- 43:47Speaker 2: to be.
- 43:48Speaker 4: So much, dude, so much go infiltrate that dude murdering
- 43:52Speaker 4: people kid have fun.
- 43:55Speaker 2: Yeah, like and so I thought, Okay, there's there's got
- 43:57Speaker 2: to be some sort of like new leadership role he's
- 44:01Speaker 2: gonna be taking here and like nothing like he like
- 44:06Speaker 2: there's nothing really there, which again I understand the storytelling
- 44:10Speaker 2: that they're doing is not Ethan's story. It never was
- 44:13Speaker 2: Ethan's story, but they kind of like.
- 44:19Speaker 4: I know more about it, I know more about the
- 44:21Speaker 4: new characters, and I know about the two returning characters exactly.
- 44:25Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 44:27Speaker 2: But yeah, this going back my initial thoughts on on
- 44:31Speaker 2: the murder spree, I didn't know what was happening. After
- 44:36Speaker 2: the first two kills, I was like, wait, did she
- 44:38Speaker 2: just hold on a second? And then then the bontage
- 44:43Speaker 2: started to happen.
- 44:44Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, no, she's not like knocking them out.
- 44:48Speaker 4: Like if you keep going, I'm gonna keep killing you
- 44:50Speaker 4: or something like that.
- 44:53Speaker 2: She's oh god.
- 44:56Speaker 4: And there's so many good quotes in that in that,
- 44:58Speaker 4: like that second half of of the season of the season,
- 45:02Speaker 4: you know, even in episode six where she's talking with
- 45:07Speaker 4: the with the bounty hunter guys, she's like, how many
- 45:10Speaker 4: people have you killed in the pursuit of justice and
- 45:14Speaker 4: she has to like think back of like damn, I
- 45:15Speaker 4: just killed the people in a pursuit of justice, to
- 45:18Speaker 4: the point where at the end she's like, this isn't
- 45:19Speaker 4: about like justice, this is just about like right and wrong.
- 45:22Speaker 4: We're gonna go kill this guy. We're gonna astop this guy.
- 45:25Speaker 4: Do you want to come or not saying about the forest.
- 45:26Speaker 4: It is ain't about the Jedi being fools or whatever.
- 45:29Speaker 4: We just know that this guy has gotta go or
- 45:31Speaker 4: we got to stop this dude somehow, Are you coming
- 45:33Speaker 4: or not?
- 45:35Speaker 1: Force I met into a life debt. I love that
- 45:40Speaker 1: a debt. That's such a great way.
- 45:42Speaker 4: You don't have to kill him, just make them just
- 45:43Speaker 4: do what Homeboy did is like if you can't beat
- 45:46Speaker 4: me in a fight, which I love, by the way,
- 45:47Speaker 4: very Marchion Rowe coded of like beat me in a fight,
- 45:51Speaker 4: and if you can't, you're gonna listen to me.
- 45:52Speaker 1: And that's basically kind of like what she does a
- 45:54Speaker 1: little bit.
- 45:54Speaker 4: So there's so much that she takes from like everywhere
- 45:57Speaker 4: that I hope that if they.
- 45:59Speaker 1: Keep with this story where I need another season.
- 46:01Speaker 4: I don't know if I need another season of Homeboy,
- 46:03Speaker 4: you know, coming back to the light and them babying
- 46:06Speaker 4: this man put them into I don't want.
- 46:08Speaker 1: To see you no more.
- 46:09Speaker 2: I think it's very possible, to be honest, because of
- 46:11Speaker 2: the way they ended it.
- 46:12Speaker 1: I think it's very possible.
- 46:14Speaker 3: I feel like the way they ended it was more
- 46:17Speaker 3: like inception coded versus like they kept it open for
- 46:25Speaker 3: another one just in case. But I feel like it
- 46:28Speaker 3: was more of like a draw your own conclusion situation.
- 46:32Speaker 3: I don't because like this Vision's Presents was specifically marketed as, hey,
- 46:43Speaker 3: this is like limited series the sort of thing, so
- 46:47Speaker 3: I don't think you should be like, oh, there's going
- 46:49Speaker 3: to be another season, like could there be? That is true,
- 46:55Speaker 3: but it was marketed this limited series.
- 46:57Speaker 2: Because I do think you kind of like not the
- 47:00Speaker 2: this is a very bad term and I don't want
- 47:01Speaker 2: to use it, but it's the only thing that popped up,
- 47:03Speaker 2: like not muddy the waters, but like, it would be
- 47:05Speaker 2: kind of confusing if you're like, hey, Star Wars Visions
- 47:09Speaker 2: Presents the Ninth Jedi, and then do a completely different
- 47:13Speaker 2: one and then go back and be like, hey, Ninth
- 47:16Speaker 2: Jedi Season two is coming out now, and then it's like, okay,
- 47:18Speaker 2: but what are we doing other stuff. Are we just
- 47:20Speaker 2: going back to this? I think that could be a
- 47:23Speaker 2: little confusing. I will say I would not be surprised
- 47:27Speaker 2: if publishing is interested in continuing the story. If that
- 47:32Speaker 2: is not already a conversation that's already happening. I could
- 47:36Speaker 2: see that happening in the future. Talking about the Lifett
- 47:41Speaker 2: and that whole fight. I thought that fight was really,
- 47:45Speaker 2: really fun. That's kind of when we started to see
- 47:48Speaker 2: Kara like really zone into like her understanding of what
- 47:52Speaker 2: all of this is supposed to be about. I like
- 47:56Speaker 2: the visual like she essentially guys. She essentially creates a
- 48:05Speaker 2: alternative form of the forbidden technique, which is uh trakata.
- 48:14Speaker 2: She she does a completely different version of that, and
- 48:20Speaker 2: I correct me if I'm wrong. I because for some
- 48:22Speaker 2: reason I had a little bit of deja vu when
- 48:26Speaker 2: she was in a stance. And the guy even says like, well,
- 48:30Speaker 2: if I if I can't know where to predict your
- 48:34Speaker 2: next move, then I guess I'll just have to go
- 48:36Speaker 2: like this. I feel like this has been done before,
- 48:39Speaker 2: as far as like some sort of Jedi not really
- 48:43Speaker 2: have like having a fully open stance with their lightsaber
- 48:47Speaker 2: and then moving at the last second. I don't know
- 48:50Speaker 2: why I have with that, but I do.
- 48:53Speaker 4: Reminds me like a little of like the face off
- 48:56Speaker 4: with Mal and Obi Wan at the end, Like we're
- 48:58Speaker 4: like this big build up and it's like a very
- 49:00Speaker 4: quick that Samurai inspired kind of like open moment, but
- 49:05Speaker 4: also for me it's also it's it's like the coolest
- 49:07Speaker 4: way that they've shown, like how many times I got
- 49:10Speaker 4: to watch these fucking kids to defend against a training droid? Ah,
- 49:17Speaker 4: And then she just like locked into like the antithesis
- 49:19Speaker 4: of like what that actually it's the best representation of
- 49:22Speaker 4: like what is that exercise that that exercises like for
- 49:26Speaker 4: that specifically? And I think that is that is what
- 49:29Speaker 4: I got the most out of it. And then you
- 49:32Speaker 4: know the start of her trying that turning the lightsaber
- 49:34Speaker 4: off and seeing how I can fight and do things
- 49:37Speaker 4: without it and really being one with like the force,
- 49:40Speaker 4: which is like the bigger thing because what is a lightsaber?
- 49:43Speaker 4: Which I really like too, is like what even is
- 49:45Speaker 4: a lightsaber? Of just trying to control a khyber crystal
- 49:49Speaker 4: which spoiler alert, you can't do it.
- 49:52Speaker 1: You can't do it.
- 49:53Speaker 4: They're their living thing, and I wish they would have
- 49:55Speaker 4: done more on that of.
- 49:56Speaker 1: Like the lightsaber doing like like a living you know thing. Yeah,
- 50:01Speaker 1: because they are.
- 50:03Speaker 3: Because the hitting it with the lightsaber, but not like
- 50:07Speaker 3: the blaster, Like that didn't make a whole lot of
- 50:10Speaker 3: sense to me in the final moments, because it's like, okay,
- 50:13Speaker 3: but like you're not connecting with the kyber crystal, because
- 50:16Speaker 3: I would have thought more like when Ethan opens the
- 50:19Speaker 3: lightsaber and tries to hit it with the lightsaber beam, Oh,
- 50:22Speaker 3: that would have connected the two kyber crystals, versus just
- 50:26Speaker 3: hitting it with a lightsaber.
- 50:28Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 50:36Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean again and again, I think that's just
- 50:38Speaker 4: more like the ending kind of just being like a
- 50:39Speaker 4: little breast like, oh, well, we hit it a bunch
- 50:41Speaker 4: of times and like it broke, which I guess is
- 50:43Speaker 4: like you know, Han hitting the top of the Millennium
- 50:47Speaker 4: falcon all of a sudden, like Falkon was working and
- 50:49Speaker 4: skeletal crew when they hit it with the thing and
- 50:50Speaker 4: then all of a sudden's breaking. I get that, but
- 50:52Speaker 4: I just feel like there's such a grand moment of
- 50:54Speaker 4: like this is this is a giant kyber crystal, like
- 50:57Speaker 4: we've never seen it before, and we could have done
- 51:01Speaker 4: what Homeboy did and all of the ice cold it
- 51:03Speaker 4: came together and we could have like felt the crystals
- 51:05Speaker 4: from the inside, but instead we just like break it,
- 51:07Speaker 4: which I felt was very like, like, ah, we spent
- 51:11Speaker 4: so much time like respecting the kyber crystal and then
- 51:13Speaker 4: what we're doing, We're just hitting it with the bits
- 51:16Speaker 4: of our It's like it's like taking your gun and
- 51:18Speaker 4: just pistol whipping the kyber pistol. After showing that him
- 51:23Speaker 4: touching it and changing the inside of it, which I
- 51:25Speaker 4: thought was fucking fantastic. I wish, I wish that that
- 51:28Speaker 4: would have been his moment to do, like what God, like,
- 51:31Speaker 4: I'm blanking on? Uh guy who puts the defect in
- 51:36Speaker 4: the Death Star? Oh my god, dad generous Galen, Yeah,
- 51:44Speaker 4: Galen Aersol puts in the thing. I thought that when
- 51:46Speaker 4: he was touching it, and this is you know from
- 51:48Speaker 4: the first episodes, but like when he was touching it,
- 51:50Speaker 4: he was intentionally making it miss because of the way
- 51:54Speaker 4: that he shifted the crystals.
- 51:55Speaker 1: But I guess isn't the case.
- 51:56Speaker 4: But I would have loved that's how they would have
- 51:58Speaker 4: got it to stop in the first place, Like to
- 52:00Speaker 4: the crystal people like, hey man, you don't want to
- 52:02Speaker 4: do this kyber Crystal resist or like do something, but
- 52:06Speaker 4: it just turned to them beating the shit out of it,
- 52:07Speaker 4: which I didn't like, especially when we have Kara like
- 52:10Speaker 4: choosing the non violent.
- 52:11Speaker 1: Route to win the day.
- 52:13Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like violence against cyber crystal, Okay, violence against Tyrant.
- 52:18Speaker 1: Don't do that. We gotta let him live well.
- 52:20Speaker 2: Like and even Homan, He's like, this is the sacred
- 52:23Speaker 2: crystal that Duro himself was.
- 52:25Speaker 4: Trying to protect it with our lightsabers.
- 52:29Speaker 1: You know these like lightsabers that are like very rare,
- 52:31Speaker 1: and then like.
- 52:32Speaker 4: No one else like can can really make them and
- 52:34Speaker 4: all of this stuff and it's super special. Let's take
- 52:37Speaker 4: the blunt end of it and then smash it into
- 52:39Speaker 4: the thing and somehow that works. I would love to
- 52:42Speaker 4: talk to the creators of like why that was a
- 52:45Speaker 4: decision to make And that's just be just being nitpicky
- 52:47Speaker 4: with like the yeah yeah that last episode just being
- 52:50Speaker 4: like so cool, but also just like ugh, if we
- 52:53Speaker 4: would have, like I think, like two more episodes, if
- 52:55Speaker 4: there's like a ten episode season or something, I feel
- 52:57Speaker 4: like that could have been fus I.
- 52:58Speaker 2: Feel like I feel like ten episodes would have been
- 53:00Speaker 2: really the sweet spot here because there was Like you said,
- 53:04Speaker 2: that eighth episode, although really badass, really fun, like the
- 53:09Speaker 2: epic fight between Nolim and car was really really fun.
- 53:12Speaker 2: This like conversation that Nam was like, you know, Katie,
- 53:16Speaker 2: you brought it up his hatred towards the fact that
- 53:21Speaker 2: she chose the light versus having no emotions whatsoever. Yeah,
- 53:26Speaker 2: and it breaks him to have anger to his lightsaber
- 53:30Speaker 2: turning red last minute and she's like, look, it's just
- 53:33Speaker 2: you know, it's affected by the heart of its wheeler
- 53:35Speaker 2: and blah blah blah. Like I so good, so so good,
- 53:41Speaker 2: and then I knew the outcome. But even the second
- 53:45Speaker 2: time around, watching it today when they're all celebrating, I'm like, wait,
- 53:51Speaker 2: wasn't there more? Like there needs to be more? This
- 53:53Speaker 2: is just ending what's going on?
- 53:55Speaker 4: He's just all of the other ships in the air,
- 53:58Speaker 4: Like what's yeah, all those guys. Did you throw all
- 54:01Speaker 4: those guys in jail too, or did we just kill
- 54:02Speaker 4: them up in space?
- 54:03Speaker 1: Like what did we do with all of.
- 54:05Speaker 4: Like the bad people who were asserting their power over people?
- 54:09Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I I really wanted more of this, Like
- 54:13Speaker 2: I said, I could see publishing getting their hands on
- 54:15Speaker 2: it and finishing the story or just continuing the story.
- 54:21Speaker 2: Either way, this did surprise me. The later half of
- 54:25Speaker 2: this series definitely surprised me. It was really really fun,
- 54:30Speaker 2: visually stunning. I really loved what the studio did. I've
- 54:38Speaker 2: been seeing some some random clips of other anime studios
- 54:44Speaker 2: and I'm just like, man, I would love to see
- 54:47Speaker 2: what they could do with Star Wars, you know.
- 54:50Speaker 1: So, so like I'm I'm glad that we have this.
- 54:55Speaker 2: We'll see what's to come. I I am pretty sure
- 55:01Speaker 2: we're not gonna get numbers on this.
- 55:04Speaker 1: At all. Even who is who is that random?
- 55:09Speaker 3: Us might put up something?
- 55:12Speaker 1: Is it Nielsen? What's the what's the one with the TV?
- 55:15Speaker 1: The special TVs? I can remember?
- 55:16Speaker 2: I can never remember what it is? Is it Nielsen?
- 55:20Speaker 4: I Okay, they might put something up, who knows, you know,
- 55:26Speaker 4: I mean, I think Star Wars is still posting about
- 55:28Speaker 4: it on their Instagram.
- 55:29Speaker 1: A week later.
- 55:31Speaker 4: They post about an hour ago to go watch the show.
- 55:34Speaker 4: So I'm hoping that they stick with it for a
- 55:36Speaker 4: couple more weeks and sol post about it. Yeah, but
- 55:40Speaker 4: it's just gonna take like it's is gonna be another
- 55:43Speaker 4: I feel like it's just gonna be because honestly, man,
- 55:45Speaker 4: I talked to so many people about Star Wars.
- 55:47Speaker 1: I have Star Wars tattoos, I carry a lightsaber round.
- 55:49Speaker 4: I talked about Star Wars like a lot, and ninety
- 55:53Speaker 4: actually legitimately, like ninety percent even more have never even
- 55:56Speaker 4: heard of Star Wars visions. Star Wars fan who are
- 56:00Speaker 4: who are just like, oh, you love the Star Wars tattoos.
- 56:02Speaker 4: You're like, oh, I've seen Star Wars visions. You're like,
- 56:04Speaker 4: I don't even know. I don't even know what that is.
- 56:06Speaker 4: I do like anime and they're like, yeah, I like anime,
- 56:09Speaker 4: you like Star Wars, then go there.
- 56:11Speaker 1: It is, there it is.
- 56:12Speaker 4: So it's just gonna be a word of mouth thing,
- 56:15Speaker 4: I think for this one, because it's because again when
- 56:19Speaker 4: they were promoting the week of it's another one of
- 56:21Speaker 4: those things where Star Wars pays off some influencer to
- 56:25Speaker 4: be like, oh my god, that light super Battle was crazy,
- 56:29Speaker 4: Oh my god, this is like the best thing, and
- 56:31Speaker 4: like this is why legitimate reactions to like what they're doing,
- 56:33Speaker 4: and like that's how they're promoting it.
- 56:35Speaker 1: So it's tough.
- 56:36Speaker 4: I know, when it first came out, they did like
- 56:38Speaker 4: post like a lot of like this is what everyone's
- 56:40Speaker 4: saying about it, and they posted a bunch of like
- 56:42Speaker 4: abuse from like the big sites, So I'm hoping that
- 56:44Speaker 4: they stick with it.
- 56:45Speaker 1: I know that we have volume four coming out soon.
- 56:49Speaker 4: I just also hope and would love, you know, if
- 56:54Speaker 4: we're talking.
- 56:54Speaker 1: About what are they gonna do? Like, what is Visions
- 56:55Speaker 1: going to do after this? Go back to what you
- 56:57Speaker 1: did in volume two?
- 56:59Speaker 4: Anime works great, but it isn't the only animation medium
- 57:02Speaker 4: where you can have these kind of like lightsaber battles.
- 57:05Speaker 4: I would love to see it in different forms, because
- 57:07Speaker 4: while I did think that some of it was great,
- 57:09Speaker 4: some of it looked kind of me like the backgrounds
- 57:14Speaker 4: were kind of nah, it seems like especially compared to
- 57:18Speaker 4: and I don't and I hate and I hate that
- 57:19Speaker 4: I'm praising the Darth Maul Show, but like, at least
- 57:22Speaker 4: in the Darth Maul Show, when you have like these
- 57:23Speaker 4: backgrounds that aren't like the main focus they did in
- 57:25Speaker 4: like this like weird like New Wir kind of thing,
- 57:28Speaker 4: where this just looks like a very still static. So
- 57:31Speaker 4: many of the backgrounds are very very static, and it sucks
- 57:33Speaker 4: because so many the characters are so dynamic that I
- 57:36Speaker 4: feel like we're losing out on some of like the
- 57:39Speaker 4: other world.
- 57:39Speaker 1: Building stuff that is done better.
- 57:41Speaker 4: And I think in some of the other animations that
- 57:43Speaker 4: aren't anime, they're you know, from other studios doing different things,
- 57:48Speaker 4: like the Uh. You know one that I would love
- 57:50Speaker 4: to see again would be like the Chilean one where
- 57:53Speaker 4: it was like all watercolor. I thought that one done great.
- 57:58Speaker 4: The one the UH was it Screecher's Reach. I think
- 58:02Speaker 4: it would be a fantastic series for them to do,
- 58:04Speaker 4: Like there's so many of them. I think that would
- 58:06Speaker 4: do well. That you don't have to keep this to anime.
- 58:08Speaker 4: But I'm worried that these white men don't know anything
- 58:12Speaker 4: about anything and that they're just gonna keep doing anime
- 58:14Speaker 4: over and over and over again. But I hope that
- 58:17Speaker 4: they see this and they're like, oh, people love Stars animation,
- 58:20Speaker 4: and we don't have to just do the Clone Wars
- 58:24Speaker 4: animation over and over and over again. We can do
- 58:26Speaker 4: different things or get us back to like what was
- 58:28Speaker 4: like the Disney what was like the other the other one,
- 58:33Speaker 4: like like the Disney Heroines or Disney Heroes forces a
- 58:38Speaker 4: Destiny forces Destiny, Like even if you did something like
- 58:41Speaker 4: that again, I would I would be down.
- 58:45Speaker 1: Just just give us more. I hope that they're not
- 58:47Speaker 1: just like, oh the ninth three dry was great.
- 58:48Speaker 4: We're just gonna keeping the Night Hut over over again,
- 58:51Speaker 4: continue to like let the other ones go, and you know,
- 58:54Speaker 4: because I think that there are other ones that are
- 58:57Speaker 4: fleshing out, fleshed out enough worlds, like where you can
- 58:59Speaker 4: tell really a story where we don't need another planet destroying.
- 59:03Speaker 3: The animated version of Yes they did it was it
- 59:08Speaker 3: was for like Disney XD. It was like five minutes.
- 59:12Speaker 2: I only I only knew this. I only knew Forces
- 59:16Speaker 2: of Destiny from the comic series that.
- 59:18Speaker 3: They Yeah, they based on the show.
- 59:24Speaker 4: Yeah, you get to watch like because it's one of
- 59:26Speaker 4: those things where you get to watch parents setne and
- 59:29Speaker 4: and Lea together on a mission.
- 59:31Speaker 1: Sign me up, yes, you know, so that's pretty cool animation.
- 59:37Speaker 3: I definitely I think this is more unique than like
- 59:41Speaker 3: Screecher's Reach or the Watercolor one. I would love to
- 59:45Speaker 3: see the French one expanded on like the Dancer ended
- 59:53Speaker 3: up with the Empire and that one. I loved that one.
- 59:59Speaker 3: H but yeah, I would I would love to see this,
- 1:00:04Speaker 3: uh continue. And I actually didn't realize that Volume four
- 1:00:08Speaker 3: was in the works, But it looks like Daniel RpK
- 1:00:10Speaker 3: said it at some point that volume four was in
- 1:00:13Speaker 3: the works.
- 1:00:14Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, there's there's a lot on our list
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: that I think would just do bukoos for for storytelling. Uh,
- 1:00:25Speaker 2: you know, and I know that these studios and Disney
- 1:00:30Speaker 2: and everybody wants more of the clicks and the subscriptions
- 1:00:33Speaker 2: and everything else.
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: But of course, just like the.
- 1:00:36Speaker 2: Beauty, the beauty of the art, and of course the story,
- 1:00:38Speaker 2: like the the one that really surprised me and Katie
- 1:00:42Speaker 2: from Vision's three was, uh, the story about the person
- 1:00:46Speaker 2: who became blind mm was really good too.
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: Yeah, like that, like so.
- 1:00:51Speaker 2: Visually, like that would just be so cool to continue
- 1:00:55Speaker 2: that story see how that all goes down. But yeah,
- 1:01:00Speaker 2: I think that is it for our discussion, unless you
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: guys want to add any last minute thoughts of the ninth.
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: Jed, I'm done.
- 1:01:09Speaker 4: I'm done with the ronan no more. Yes, if you're listening,
- 1:01:14Speaker 4: we're done with the ron and especially after what you
- 1:01:15Speaker 4: gave us in Visions volume three, please yeah, it's you're Yeah,
- 1:01:19Speaker 4: the rule of cool is gone and stop.
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: Please.
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: I I would have much rather loved a continuation of
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: the book.
- 1:01:29Speaker 4: Yeah, continuation of the book, or just like a straight
- 1:01:31Speaker 4: up prequel, Like give me like a straight straight prequel. Wonder,
- 1:01:35Speaker 4: show me show me a prequel with this man, let
- 1:01:37Speaker 4: me see it, because I did, I didn't. And you know,
- 1:01:40Speaker 4: last thing I'll say about the thing is because his
- 1:01:42Speaker 4: the dad has so many great lines. It would be
- 1:01:46Speaker 4: irresponsible of me to let the weight of your crimes
- 1:01:49Speaker 4: grow any heavier. What a baller line for some dude
- 1:01:52Speaker 4: who was essentially like a Jedi inquisitor like this dude,
- 1:01:56Speaker 4: like this guy was, I just want to see more
- 1:02:02Speaker 4: of him specifically, so we get like prequel stuff of
- 1:02:05Speaker 4: him going like a comic version of him going out
- 1:02:07Speaker 4: and like hunting down these sith.
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: I'd be in it. I would read that the days
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: a man of days of the week.
- 1:02:13Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, especially because then you can do like manga
- 1:02:15Speaker 4: where we you know, the fast too fast for movement
- 1:02:18Speaker 4: stuff can still translate very well. Because man, when when
- 1:02:21Speaker 4: they were trying to track that dude, I was like, yep, yeah,
- 1:02:23Speaker 4: this's they're krilling. They're they're now krilling, looking at the
- 1:02:27Speaker 4: sayings fighting and I'm here for it. And and musically
- 1:02:31Speaker 4: was okay, but the sound design with the silver blades.
- 1:02:35Speaker 4: When the silver Blades are singing and fighting. Oh my god,
- 1:02:38Speaker 4: it sounded so good. Yeah, way to reinvent the way
- 1:02:42Speaker 4: the lightsaber.
- 1:02:43Speaker 6: Sounds like, Oh my god, the way that the when
- 1:02:47Speaker 6: you when they ignited their silvers uh, and when both
- 1:02:52Speaker 6: Kara and Uh, oh my god, her.
- 1:02:58Speaker 2: Father's name Zema ti Uh, when they really started to
- 1:03:02Speaker 2: focus and like it became like solidified rather than like
- 1:03:06Speaker 2: kind of like it looked more lava lamp than anything
- 1:03:10Speaker 2: when they would yeah, exactly. And then when she when
- 1:03:16Speaker 2: she finally like really started to focus and it just
- 1:03:18Speaker 2: became pure white like that. I loved the tone.
- 1:03:24Speaker 4: The music, Like all of that was really really beautiful.
- 1:03:28Speaker 4: I just I just played one of the clips and
- 1:03:29Speaker 4: it's like, got it sound so good?
- 1:03:32Speaker 3: What is that? Samurai aspect?
- 1:03:35Speaker 2: Yes, one thing that we didn't really talk about, And
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: I think it's more so because of the way they
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: rushed the ending and Adrian kind of what you were insinuating.
- 1:03:45Speaker 2: We hadn't really talked about not on them too much.
- 1:03:48Speaker 2: And I do think that, like his story is interesting
- 1:03:54Speaker 2: because it's purely the misunderstanding of Hey, I'm looking at
- 1:04:00Speaker 2: this from the outside looking in with him witnessing Carra's father,
- 1:04:08Speaker 2: you know, doing what he did in malice and all
- 1:04:10Speaker 2: of this stuff. I think it's an interesting concept and
- 1:04:14Speaker 2: there's a lot to learn from it. But the very
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: very sudden like hey kid, yeah, let's do this again
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: sometime and gives them the lights that ber at the
- 1:04:24Speaker 2: very end.
- 1:04:25Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm just like, yeah, it felt it felt like
- 1:04:27Speaker 4: to it felt too anime ending.
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: The anime. The ending was too anime.
- 1:04:31Speaker 4: It's too anime ending for like this guy to like
- 1:04:34Speaker 4: basically get off, not like get off get off, but
- 1:04:36Speaker 4: like get off, not more or less scot free for
- 1:04:39Speaker 4: doing all this really bad stuff, like just because they
- 1:04:43Speaker 4: got to kill this man, but we also don't got
- 1:04:44Speaker 4: to act like he didn't make these choices on his own.
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: Yeah, and the reasons why he's making those choices.
- 1:04:50Speaker 4: For me, it's like, oh, well, you saw this guy
- 1:04:52Speaker 4: kill this other guy, and then now that's all you
- 1:04:55Speaker 4: think about is like that's what you see is power?
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: Like that's it? Who Like, where did you.
- 1:05:01Speaker 4: Learn more stuff from you were a kid? How Come
- 1:05:03Speaker 4: no one was whooping your ass like before that? Like
- 1:05:05Speaker 4: there's just so much like other stuff that I would
- 1:05:08Speaker 4: have liked to see for his backstory other than just
- 1:05:10Speaker 4: like I think I'm the strongest, and the strongest should.
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: Be able to do whatever they want.
- 1:05:15Speaker 4: Yeah, and when you look at like a marchion Row
- 1:05:18Speaker 4: or even even a Kimeer, when you're trying to distract
- 1:05:21Speaker 4: away from like what is the bad side of the force,
- 1:05:24Speaker 4: like the bad of the things, and then you know,
- 1:05:26Speaker 4: we have things like the dread gear, and we have
- 1:05:28Speaker 4: things like you know, Planet X, and like these things.
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: It's too much back to well, everyone deserves to be
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: redeemed at the end. You know, we're gonna redeem Vader
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: at the end, no matter all the bad stuff he did.
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: And that felt too much like too much of the
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: of the hope in the thing. And I wish that
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: because of all the bad stuff he did, the reasons
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: weren't great for me, Like, Okay, you saw this guy
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: kill this guy, so now you're taking over the galaxy.
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: I just don't understand.
- 1:05:54Speaker 4: It feels like something like there's like a piece missing
- 1:05:55Speaker 4: there in like his arc, when everyone else has a clear,
- 1:05:59Speaker 4: you know, clear arc on like why they were doing
- 1:06:02Speaker 4: what they were doing.
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: Because even by the end, you.
- 1:06:03Speaker 4: Know why why her dad did what was like we
- 1:06:06Speaker 4: don't know why he did what he did, but we're
- 1:06:08Speaker 4: gonna trust that he's making a good decision.
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: So then when we finally find.
- 1:06:11Speaker 4: Out why you know, n was doing what he's doing,
- 1:06:14Speaker 4: it's just like, oh, so he's just an asshole. He's
- 1:06:16Speaker 4: just like a bully with a lightsaber, and that's just
- 1:06:18Speaker 4: and it's just boring compared to other villains that we've gotten,
- 1:06:21Speaker 4: especially over the last few years.
- 1:06:23Speaker 3: For me, yeah, I would almost take like like you
- 1:06:37Speaker 3: were talking about, like a prequel. I would take that
- 1:06:40Speaker 3: in like Vision's volume four, So I don't want to
- 1:06:42Speaker 3: take a slot from somebody else and you like throw
- 1:06:45Speaker 3: in a prequel there, versus like saying like, oh, let's
- 1:06:49Speaker 3: go full storyline. I think all you need really is
- 1:06:52Speaker 3: one right there?
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: Yeah, give me I'm good.
- 1:06:56Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I'm like. I don't think you need
- 1:06:59Speaker 3: much more than that.
- 1:07:01Speaker 4: How how does he how does he have massed all
- 1:07:03Speaker 4: of this stuff? Right like wet somehow Palp returned. I
- 1:07:07Speaker 4: guess there's no central government. But like nobody, nobody of
- 1:07:11Speaker 4: those fifty remaining Jedi masters saw this dude doing this
- 1:07:14Speaker 4: stuff with a lightsaber, and no one was like, hey, I.
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: Was gonna be like nobody questioned him. Nobody's like, nobody.
- 1:07:20Speaker 2: That's not how you're supposed to do stuff.
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: Yeah, we teach you the right thing.
- 1:07:26Speaker 2: Hold on a second.
- 1:07:29Speaker 4: By And then the last line that that dude like
- 1:07:31Speaker 4: that they say in age is like leaders who roll
- 1:07:34Speaker 4: without compassion are doomed to be overthrown. So I'm just
- 1:07:38Speaker 4: glad that they won at the end, and like this
- 1:07:40Speaker 4: guy stopped murdering people, but I stopped doing planet killing
- 1:07:44Speaker 4: weapons be more. Although I got I will say that
- 1:07:50Speaker 4: of all the planet destroying weapons you've seen in action,
- 1:07:54Speaker 4: I know this is like from the other episodes.
- 1:07:55Speaker 1: Man, that thing looked cool. Yeah, God, that looked cool.
- 1:07:59Speaker 4: And I thought I thought they were just doing like
- 1:08:00Speaker 4: I didn't realize that when I was watching it, I
- 1:08:02Speaker 4: didn't realize that they had missed. I thought that dude
- 1:08:05Speaker 4: was doing a glancing shot, and I felt like that
- 1:08:07Speaker 4: was so much more badass to be like this is
- 1:08:09Speaker 4: your warring shot, pow, and.
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: Like that's that's what we're doing.
- 1:08:13Speaker 4: Because it looked visually great, you know, the one, the
- 1:08:17Speaker 4: one with a star killer shooting across the galaxy. I
- 1:08:20Speaker 4: guess like that looks cool, but did not look as
- 1:08:22Speaker 4: cool as them shooting a homegirl's planet with a glancing blow,
- 1:08:26Speaker 4: but also like stop using kyber crystals this way, please,
- 1:08:29Speaker 4: There's so much more interesting than just being used to
- 1:08:32Speaker 4: be to be weapons. And I was hoping that they
- 1:08:33Speaker 4: would like get to that that, like what is even
- 1:08:36Speaker 4: just a lightsaber, brother than just containing this power that
- 1:08:40Speaker 4: we don't fully fully understand. It just lets us do
- 1:08:43Speaker 4: the things that we want to do. So when she
- 1:08:45Speaker 4: turns it off and doesn't use it to as a weapon,
- 1:08:49Speaker 4: I thought that was some of some of the best
- 1:08:51Speaker 4: parts of the show. And I wish that would have
- 1:08:52Speaker 4: been more of like the focus. So lots of love
- 1:08:54Speaker 4: for me and I'm just kind of yapping out, but
- 1:08:56Speaker 4: like lots of love for me. I just wish they
- 1:08:58Speaker 4: would have like just gone for it, like a little more.
- 1:09:01Speaker 4: You already have the money, already have the go ahead.
- 1:09:03Speaker 4: What's the harmon just going for it? So I think
- 1:09:06Speaker 4: that they just take more risk moving forward.
- 1:09:08Speaker 3: Yeah, because I still find that I regret even though
- 1:09:14Speaker 3: I feel like Ujima's story as a Jedi inquisitor type
- 1:09:17Speaker 3: of person is cool, I still really regret that they
- 1:09:21Speaker 3: didn't just take the Sabersmith route and go for it
- 1:09:23Speaker 3: as like he's like a specialist, like no force sensitivity
- 1:09:26Speaker 3: kind of thing, like that's all he does. I loved
- 1:09:29Speaker 3: that concept in the first one, and I just wish
- 1:09:33Speaker 3: that had been more of it. I also just am
- 1:09:37Speaker 3: still mad that they put that he was.
- 1:09:38Speaker 4: A Jedi in wasn't if he wasn't a fucking demon.
- 1:09:43Speaker 4: I think I feel the same way, but that man
- 1:09:44Speaker 4: was a demon. He's like, oh yeah, he immediately jumped
- 1:09:49Speaker 4: above his class. And she's like, wait, my dad was
- 1:09:51Speaker 4: like legit, like he was.
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: Yeah. She really had no idea.
- 1:09:55Speaker 4: She had really no idea this man's past, and we
- 1:09:57Speaker 4: really don't even either, and apparently his president know. We like,
- 1:10:00Speaker 4: there's so many stuff that like that that happened, and
- 1:10:03Speaker 4: then seeing it in the video of Homeboy drawing the
- 1:10:05Speaker 4: lightsaber first, you know, the famous like who shot first
- 1:10:08Speaker 4: type of thing, like, man, they really like gave us
- 1:10:10Speaker 4: everything to Like, I get you, bro, I would have
- 1:10:13Speaker 4: I would have probably cut that man down too, But
- 1:10:15Speaker 4: this is also why I'm not a Jedi.
- 1:10:16Speaker 2: So oh man, Well, if that is it, guys, I
- 1:10:23Speaker 2: want to thank you guys so much for being here
- 1:10:26Speaker 2: and listening to us ramble one last thing before we
- 1:10:31Speaker 2: sign off, and give us all of our plugs reminder
- 1:10:35Speaker 2: that we have exactly well not exactly, but nearly two
- 1:10:39Speaker 2: weeks until zero Company is officially out.
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: I am for sure getting it. I am superesita your
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: thoughts out. I don't know if you read any of
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: the preview thoughts that.
- 1:10:51Speaker 2: Are I'm trying to stay away from the last thing
- 1:10:54Speaker 2: I saw. The last thing I saw was that it
- 1:10:59Speaker 2: is is essentially a x com reskin with all of
- 1:11:05Speaker 2: the best parts of Midnight Suns, which Midnight Suns I
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: heard raving reviews about. It's been on my wish list
- 1:11:14Speaker 2: for ever since it was released. Haven't had the chance
- 1:11:18Speaker 2: to pick it up yet, even when it was at
- 1:11:20Speaker 2: its lowest I think, at like fifteen dollars on a
- 1:11:23Speaker 2: really beautiful sale, I.
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: Was unable to grab it at the time.
- 1:11:28Speaker 2: But I've heard great things about it, so I'm really
- 1:11:31Speaker 2: really excited. It seems very very seamless as far as
- 1:11:36Speaker 2: like the action and stuff that's happening within the game.
- 1:11:40Speaker 2: While you're making your decisions, the battle is going on
- 1:11:44Speaker 2: around you, so it looks very, very very fun. I'm
- 1:11:49Speaker 2: most likely going to be streaming it that first weekend,
- 1:11:54Speaker 2: so I will get out more information on like my
- 1:11:58Speaker 2: hours and stuff like that that I will putting into it.
- 1:12:01Speaker 2: But yeah, guys, thank you so much for being here.
