  Speaker 1: The Force will be with you always.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Hello, and welcome back to another episode of Star Wars Alliance.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Of course, I'm your host, Clay, and with me, of course,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: like always is Katie, Katie the drama loving queen. All right, right,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: I want you to I want you to know. Abby
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: is very passionate about this, and it got to a
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: point where we got into like a little bit of
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: a heated argument because the one thing that Abby hates
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: about me is I always if I'm introduced into a conversation,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: I am always the Devil's advocate because I have no
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: context of anything. I'm like, Okay, before I get any
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: more information, let's play Devil's advocate, because this is what
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: I am hearing, and I will take the benefit of
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: the doubt for these other people. And now I am
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: completely aware of what the controversy is. And people, if
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: you don't know what we're talking.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: About, gave no context at all.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: I gave no context at all. Blake Lively has a
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: movie that is out is actually doing really well for
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: a what she advertises in markets as a rom com
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: but and in fact is the.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: Author advertises as a rom com as well.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's not really all it's not, which is
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: really bad when your marketing does not hit the market
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: at all.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: But if you guys want to look up the controversy,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: look it up. It's starting to be like a lot
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: bigger than I thought it was going to be. There's
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: like a crisis, like a PR crisis manager being hired
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: and all sorts of stuff. It's getting really icky. But
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: shameless plug. If you would like to hear more of
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: an opinion in conversation about it, my wife is having
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: a podcast episode about it. If you want to look
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: up the Birthday Beats podcast, she will be talking with
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: her host all about the controversy. So go listen to that.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I'm sure it's going to be a lot of fun
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: and also not a lot of fun just because of
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: the subject matter, but it is what it is. So Katie,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: we're completely wrong on almost all accounts for D twenty three.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be a conversation except for one. We're going
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: to have a conversation about that. We have a trailer
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: to talk about, and of course we have started a
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: new trilogy of books to review, yes with what is
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: known as the Aftermath Trilogy, and we're going to be
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: talking about that first book tonight. So there is a
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: lot going on, Katie, a part of D twenty three.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: What do you want to talk about first?
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Well, I would say, let's go ahead knock this out
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: of the books. There was no new show announcement in
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: it or live action. There was movie talk about Mandalorian.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: And grogu mm hmmm.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Because what we have doubted is less from Star Wars
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: right now.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: I'm really surprised we did not put that in our
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: predictions at all.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: I'm surprised too. I completely forgot about it, if I'm
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: being honest.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, there was no announcements, and I believe you
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: shared a tweet that kind of gave us the heads up.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: It was from somebody named Dan Grievous over on Twitter,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: the Tykes fan. It says tomorrow, expect nothing and you
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: won't be disappointed, and it is the part of the scheduling.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: It says a conversation with Lucasfilm Animation twelve pm at
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Lucasfilm Booth and they talk and reflect about the two
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: decades of animation, and that's exactly what they did. I
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: was dis appointed with no confirmation of season two's of
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: no new shows now a part of the no new content.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: We did get a quote from Haarah herself Vanessa Marshall
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: at the panel, and she said, there's so much more
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: to come, and of course people are like, there's something, but.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Like there's always something, There's.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Always something, and here's here's the thing that I want
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: to ask you, Katie. So we know that. There was
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: also not a whole lot of unknown quote unquote announcements
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: for the MCU at D twenty three as well, and
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: it was more so because they've said previously, hey, we're
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: going to draw back on some things. We're not going
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: to be pushing newer announcements or newer content until the
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: stuff that we have already planned in the near future
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: is finished. Right. We know that has been true and
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: they kind of confirmed to here at D twenty three.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: My thing is, did Lucasfilm really need to do the same,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: because we had even less coverage of what is in
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: the near future for Lucasfilm at D twenty three.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Yep, yeah, we had and or we had skeleton crew
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: and uh we had a mid learning grogu and that
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: was it. Like we said, no new show announcements, and
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: you've got to be thinking, Okay, when are we going
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: to get new show announcements, because right now the only
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: thing they have set to go for twenty twenty five
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: is and Or mm hmm, So where is that gonna
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: go in the list? Are we gonna Are we gonna
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: be waiting a full year to get and Or season
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: two so that they can stretch it out.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: My worry and I feel like it's very, very silly
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: and stupid to do. So my worry is Lucasfilm is like, hey,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: there was such a pop over at Star Wars celebration
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, Let's wait until twenty twenty five celebration
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: to make major announcements, which is only April.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: It's only April.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: It's only April. It's only April. But you still have
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: four months of this year with the only new content
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: came out. I believe today as of we're recording to this,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Young Jedi Adventures is the only new content that has
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: come out for Disney Plus since of course The Acolyte.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: But like, it's very frustrating because for me, in my mind,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: and of course it can be completely different because of
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: scheduling on everybody else's behalf and everything else, But like,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: in my mind, you make announcements and then you work
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: towards those announcements, right, So you don't work towards those
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: announcements and then make the announcement. Like that's not really
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: the way things go, especially because for the most part,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: a lot of things would get like spoiled as far
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: as the surprise, because people like Daniel Rbka and all
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: these scoopers would be like, hey, why are these people
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: like moving to these locations and why is there a
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: lot of rumblings of like these actors doing this, and
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: it would ruin the surprise. But for me, I would
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: think you need to start getting Ahsoka season two, like
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: that needs to get rolling, Like I don't I know
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: that it's rolling in like behind the scenes, but as
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: far as like production and everything else, because we like
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: I feel like I'm already starving for content, and I know.
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: I shouldn't feel that way, but because like you just said,
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: and or is not until when of twenty twenty five August,
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: like a whole year.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: We don't know, We don't know when it will come
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: out ideally because it was set to be this fall
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: winter time frame because the two years from twenty twenty two,
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: so they were like, Okay, we're already in production, but
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: then the strike happened, so ideally it's only going to
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: delay it by like February March timeframe. Probably most likely
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: we're looking at it premieres its celebration. Let's be real,
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: like there I do premiere at celebration.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: I think it would be nice to premiere right before celebration,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: so that way you can get some of those interviews,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: you can have the conversations about the show. It just
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: it just irks me because we as fans feel so
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: out of the loop and we're like, we don't know
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: what's happening in our fandom. We don't know what shows
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: are happening, and I just don't like that feeling.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: Well, I yeah, I agree, But you know, we're also
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: part of the fandom that really enjoys the book productions. Yes,
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: and we've got a crap ton of books coming, and
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: we've got Mace Windu in October, We've got High Republic
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: this month and next month, next High Republic in December,
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: and then New Book in February, and then more Disney
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: books March and April to kind of lead into everything.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: So we are part of the blessed group of fandom
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: who reads.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: So to have I was gonna say, we do have
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: content that can I guess like fulfill us for the
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: time being. But again it's the knowing Okay, Ohsoka Season
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: two has already been somewhat announced slash not announced, you know,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: because the only thing was a ease from Foloney with
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: the sketch, and that was it.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: It was it was confirmed in the Mandalorian and Grogu announcement.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Was it okay okay Yeah.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Is producing and is currently at work.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: On okay okay okay, so okay, So we know things
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: are moving, They're just not moving fast enough. And I
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: think that's just me being impatient for for wanting that
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: story to continue, because again that is untouched territory in
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: that gap that we are assuming is also going to
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: be fulfilled in comics as well. Like that is that
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: is something that we're right within Marvel that's still takes yeah,
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: within the gap there. So like I just I want you,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: and I think more so I'm feeling that way because
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: right now I'm not watching anything. There's nothing on my
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: schedule that I'm like I have to wake up early
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: on this day to get this watched, or like, hey,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: I need to watch this like first thing Saturday morning,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: so that way it won't get spoiled and all of
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: this stuff, which I think is technically a good thing,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Like hey, Clay, relax a little bit, but I'm also bored,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: you know. It's just like I want something new. Granted,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: we did, in fact get a new manga, of course,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Edge of Balance Volume three mine is coming in tomorrow,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: so we will have that for you guys next week.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it's just going to take a while. And
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: I know that we will eventually get Young Jedi Adventure
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: is watched for you guys as well, and review that
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: that is on our schedule. But I don't know. It
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: feels off, especially because like the one thing that I
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: told you last week, I was like, oh, these movie
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: announcements won't happen because it's D twenty three. It's all
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: about TV shows, and the entire D twenty three was
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: all about movies. I was egg on my face. That's
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: how I felt.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: It was fifty fifty.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: It was fifty. I would say like it was seventy
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: five twenty five. It felt like there was a lot
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: of movie announcements. You have like the Stitch No White,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: you have a shoot Avatar, Avatar three, Incredibles three, Yeah,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: oh incredible three. Like you had a lot of movie announcements,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: and of course they shared a little bit more for
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: the MCU stuff, fantastic for Thunderbolts, things like that. I'm
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: just like I thought D twenty three was like TV
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: stuff like that was the big argument last year when
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: we were talking to of course, over at Marvel Allance Chris.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: You know, he's the person who asked stock in Disney.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: He has all of the information with Disney. He has
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: I think he's showed interest in wanting to go to
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: D twenty three in the future, and so he's informative
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: of that stuff, and so he's told us D twenty
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: three is for TV shows. I'm like, okay, cool, that's
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: the president that I have moving forward, that D twenty
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: three is for TV, and that is not what it showed.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: And so.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: To get no confirmation for the future TV at Lucasfilm,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: I was a bit upset. Like you had the the
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: I'm sure it was very wonderful and I want to
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: go back to see if I can find clips of
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: it or at least like a article that kind of
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: summed everything up. But like the stuff from Manny Jacinto
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: at the Alcolyte. You know, I'm sure that conversation was
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: very lovely and he was very enthusiastic about the Q
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: and A and stuff. But like season two, where are you?
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: You know, all the speculation of one Season two, like
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: all of these silly little things. I would have taken anything, anything,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: and we got nothing.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I am more. I guess with and I don't
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: know if because I'm typically very impatient, but I guess
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: with like the baby and stuff, and I'm like, dang,
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: I can't read like fast enough. I'm like, I'll see
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: what happens. I don't know. But let's talk about the
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: Mandalorian Angrogu footage that was shown, because there was, in
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: fact footage shown, specifically the fact that Garazebarelius will be
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: in the movie. What did you think about that?
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: This? I felt was something that we could have easily
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: guessed just because of his appearance in season three was
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: very small. It felt like the most cameo thing like
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: zeb being in season three felt like the most MCU
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: cameo I have ever seen in Star Wars because it
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: was just like boom and he's gone, right. And usually
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: when these types of cameos or callbacks to characters and
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: star wars happened. They happen for a reason. They have
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: a little bit more screen time. Zeb not having that
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: much screen time in season three just kind of affirmed
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: for me, Oh, we're gonna get more of him in
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: the future, whether that be in ah Soca or in
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: future installments of The Mandalorian. Getting him in uh Mandalorian
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Grogu is nice because that makes it feel like, because
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: it's a movie, he's gonna have a little bit more
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: screen time than what we've had with other people as
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: far as character callbacks. So I I'm okay with this.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I guess I wasn't expecting it,
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: especially since he wasn't in Ahsoka because we talked about
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: that in depth. But yeah, like I'm okay with this.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: He is in in fact in The Razorcrest though.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that I've seen a lot of people show concern about,
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: like the retconning of things to make this movie work.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: And again I haven't necessarily seen this like as confirmation.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't say it's confirmation, but like this gives me
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: a little bit of vibes of like, oh, we were right,
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Like this is just gonna be a rendition of all
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: three seasons, like the Razorcrest is actually this is like
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: pre destruction of the Razorcrest, and they're gonna just like
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: reshare some like context to the story. So that way
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: the full blown story that Filoni is working on right now.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: What's the other movie that's working on.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: New Empire? Uhh yeah, the Empire.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Air to the Empire like actually makes sense for people
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: who go see it. Like we've we've talked about like
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: our fears of that actually happening. I think it's a
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: little uh over the top as far as our concerns,
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: but it's like legitimate, like, hey, this could actually happen.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: But I don't know, how do you feel about seeing
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: the Razorcrest because I did see a lot of people
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: somewhat upset about it.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: But I don't know if it's like old like what
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: we would consider like old timeline footage though, like getting
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: people caught up because Gara zeb Aurelius is in the Razorcrest.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: Mm hm, So I don't I don't know how I
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: feel about that, Like I don't like this back, Like fine,
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: if you're like, oh I need more room, well then
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: get a new ship, like and again this is the assumption,
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: well I'm assuming this is the assumption of people who
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: saw the footage that the Razorcress is back.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah there. Well again there's this like conversation, and we've
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: somewhat had it. I know that Travis over at geek
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Verse very much has this idea that like the Mandalorian
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: since the end of season two has not like retcon
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: but not retcon. What's what's the phrasing that I'm trying
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: to find here that all of this is for nothing,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Like they do major plot points to the show for
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: dramatic effect to get everybody's jaw dropping, and they're just like, Oh,
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: we're just gonna act like that never happened. You know,
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: the whole thing with Grogu going out to train and
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: he's right back at the beginning of season three. You know,
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: all of these different things and the Razorcrest I think
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: was a big moment for us to move on from
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: what we have known the Mandalorian to be into this
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: new era. And for one, Bres Dallas Howard's episode of
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: him flying the Naboo Fighter was amazing, Like, I love
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: that ship. It's something that I really love out of
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Phantom Menace I don't care what anybody else says, but
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: it's a really cool design. And I love the fun
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: little thing that Mandalorian and Grogu have with that ship,
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: you know, with Grogu being able to sit in the
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: droid spot and you know, it's just fun and cute.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: I could easily see this being Razor Crest two point zero, like, hey,
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: we kind of got the same model and then like
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: we did some work with it and we made the
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Razor Crest two point zho Like that could be a thing.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: To me.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: I would prefer, like, hey, go with a new ship.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: Like I would do. I would one hundred percent agree
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: with that. But Katie, you and I both know what
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: this is is, Hey, we already have the model set
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: for it. Yeah, so instead of putting that to waste
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: and spending more money on this movie, will just take
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: old set pieces and boom, we're good. Like that's probably
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: what it is. I say that though, and I just
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: remember this show made the volume famous, so like set
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: pieces are like almost non existent for this show.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and like you obviously still have like the physical components,
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: but yeah, they're like the backgrounds and everything. You don't
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: need those. Yeah, So that is all the Mandalorian and
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: Gururgoo talk. And yes, there's some screenshots out in the
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: wild y'all. We're not gonna show those because I don't
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: want to get taken down by copyright strikes. But they're
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: out there if you want to go look for them.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: So the next bit is for and Or, And there
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: was a trailer shown. Surprisingly, I did not find this
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: trailer on the interweps, the.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Only one that was under wrap, like there there was
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: no footage of this show and whatsoever.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: Uh No there was footag shown because no.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: I mean like to the public, like there was no
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: phone footage, like, no screen shots, like I couldn't find
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: anything either.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: So the one in the chat is screen shots. Yeah.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: But and there was a couple of people who tweeted
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: it but then took it down after they realized they
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: weren't supposed to show it.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: I'm surprised that.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, that's what I'm saying. But they have confirmed
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: that K two s O and Critic are both back,
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: which I told you when Alan Tutic was announced for
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: Star Wars Celebration, I was like, is this going to
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: be the announcement for K two S returning? So it's
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: not having a celebration. It happened to T twenty three though,
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: but I count that.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: I think that's still confirmation, Like it's you. You were
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: intuitive to be like, okay, this because you could easily
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: chop it up to oh, he's a part of the
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: Star Wars family. He was in a previous Star Wars film. Yeah,
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: but you had the intuition of, hey, maybe this is
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: something more and maybe he will be in and Or
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: season two, and boom, you got that confirmation right here.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: And I think that's awesome. I think the highlight for
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: me just because I love the actor he blew up
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: so quickly in the late twenty teens is of course critic. Yeah,
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: seeing critic in and Or season two, of course played
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: by Oh shoot, I said, I love the actor. But
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: camnd Yes Mendelssohn. He he is just a phenomenal actor.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: And I know that the I really do hope that again.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: I feel like there's going to be there's always going
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: to be an expectation for every viewer like, hey, how
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: do you one up the previous season? Right? I need
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: a similar speech to what I sacrificed from Crinic, Like
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: I need something on that level of speech from critic
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: in the season because I know Middlesen will be able
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: to pull that off. That's just my opinion.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I am really excited for Mindlessohn to come back
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: in so. Yeah, super excited by this. And he look,
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: he has the same look about him that like, you're
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: an idiot, menacing look in this screenshot. So that's very
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: exciting for me. So and Draven are also back.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: Yes, uh, Melchie Remind me Melchie is the uh.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: I believe he was a part of Andor's like Cassian's
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: crew that he was working. Uh yeah, and prisoned, forced
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: to labor at the Imperial prison complex on the moon
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: Narkina five. Okay, so yeah, Malchi is back. And then Draven.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: We're going to google that on Wikipedia and this says ah,
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: This says Draven was a human male who served as
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: a general in the Alliance to Restore the Republic during
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: the Galactic Civil War. He was stationed at the Great
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: Temple on the moon Yavin For when jin or So
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: was given the task of stealing the Death Star plans
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: by man Mathla. So that is who Draven is.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: I'm excited about this. I am a little sad that
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: we didn't get this trailer pushed out to the public. Now, again,
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: we don't have a for sure release date here, so
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: that could be a reason why they don't want to
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: push it out, And of course I think that's very smart. Uh,
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: it's something it's I would like Disney Plus to have
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: a nice in between of what Netflix does with their trailers.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: Netflix is like, hey, something is coming out, like in
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: two weeks. Here's the trailer for it. So it's soon
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: enough to where you're not like, oh, I have to
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: schedule three months out to like, hey, this is when
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: this is coming out. But at the same time, it's
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: just a little too soon. So I want to be
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: like a nice sweet spot for Disney Plus to put
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: stuff out there. But here, I'm excited for season two
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: of V and or at least it's one. You know,
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: this was already confirmed, so it's not like, oh, we
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: got something. It's like, Okay, this was I guess somewhat
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: expected as far as like at least some info on
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: what we would get, uh from season two. But yeah,
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: I I I just want new content, Katie. I want
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: to see new content. That's that's the ultimate goal of
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: this episode, is I want new content.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: You know what we do have new content coming. It's
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: called Skeleton Crew and there will be a two episode
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: drop December third of this year. All right, y'all, we're
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: gonna hit our first ad break and we will be
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: right back in three. Two.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: One, how did you feel because I saw mixed reports
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: or mixed reactions should I say on this trailer? There
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: I feel like is some hyperbolic thoughts. Two the domestication
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: of the Star Wars universe. How do you how do
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: you feel about this trailer? For one, let's just let's
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: just get that out of the way. How did you
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: after watching the entire trailer? What did you feel about
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: what we could expect from the show.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: It definitely has that Stranger Things vibe. I did watch
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: a couple episodes of Stranger Things, so I understand what
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: they were going for with that, and that's exactly what
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: it feels like. It feels like Stranger Things from Star Warsh.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: I saw somebody say this is like the Goonies in space.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: That is also like a really fun like comparison, and
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: I think I would have a lot of fun with
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: that as well. So yeah, I I I get the vibe.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I've never seen Goodies. I don't understand that reference.
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: Why are you surprised at this?
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: I shouldn't be surprised. I really shouldn't, But I I
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: think you would like the gudis. I think you would
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: like it. It's it's it's a coming of age adventure
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: story with with the kids. So yeah, I think you
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: would enjoy it.
• 32:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah, there is space involved, so it's not just the
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: suburban Star Wars dream. Yes, there is space, and it
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: looks like there's a Force user at the end.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: That's what I wanted to Yeah, that was a swerve
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: that I was not expecting, especially with the from all
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: reports that we had gotten before this trailer. We were
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: getting that like, oh, Jude Law's character is like this
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: pirate and like all of these other things, and like
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: the main focus on this particular trailer is this individual
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: that like wants to go out and adventure and have
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: all this fun they have heard stories of, like the
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: Jedi of old and the Force and all of these
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: other things. And so that's why at the very end
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: of the trailer, when you see this item, I think
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: it's like a thing of keys or something float in
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: the air. That character says, Oh, you're a Jedi, and
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: that's like when the trailer ends, wasn't expecting it. I
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I like it or hate it
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: right now, and I think hate is a very strong
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: word for something that we literally have no information for.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: But again, it's this idea of like for us, I
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: like looking at some of the things that don't have Jedi,
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: do not have lightsabers and all this other stuff. Also
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: a little bit of an insider to our aftermath review.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: That's where I'm going to be a little bit of
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: a hypocrite, but we'll talk about that. But with this,
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: I was just like, Okay, Jude Law is a Force user.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: That's interesting, but let's look at all the other stuff
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: that's in here. And I thought of it as just like, Okay,
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: these kids are on this planet, they haven't known anything else,
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: and they want to go out in space. Everybody else
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: was like a suburb in the Star Wars.
• 35:02
  Speaker 7: Life is ruined. Star Wars is ruined. This is gonna
• 35:05
  Speaker 7: turn me off to Star Wars forever. I'm never gonna
• 35:08
  Speaker 7: watch Star Wars again because there's houses next to houses
• 35:13
  Speaker 7: in Star Wars.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, people, calm down, like this is an
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: entire galaxy. You don't think there has to be one
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: or two planets at the very least that have somewhat
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: of like domestic civilization, like come on now.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, Like there is a huge v gino Wormars galaxy.
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: There's unknown there's the unknown regions of Star Wars where
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: things haven't even been explored. You can't tell me that
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: you weren't expecting like a regular neighborhood, like a planet
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: that looks like Earth, like come on now, like really.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: It eventually had to happen. I feel like now.
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: It.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: So there's this idea of course we had heard, like, oh,
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: you know, you're gonna get a whole lot of stuff
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: that makes it feel like Original Star Wars. I didn't
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: necessarily get that vibe from the trailer, did you get?
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: I guess I kind of did because of like some
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: of the space stuff. So like the first glimpse into
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: hyperspace for these kids when they're on that ship, and
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: then like the kid in like the Gunner's nest, like
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: that just felt like pure rebels to me. I know
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: that it's not like Original Star Wars, but like that
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: felt like zeb like shooting down ties in rebels like
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: so I got got some feelings of it. And like
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: even like the Jude Law reveal like that honestly kind
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: of feels like Obi Wan Kenobi taking office hood. Like yeah,
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: so like there's only some callbacks.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: I feel like, Okay, I can see the comparisons there.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: I'm having it play again over here on my other monitor.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: I I like the look. I think the cinematography is
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: really really fun. Colors are very crisp, but very vibrant.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: This does look like, guys, we have another dark series
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: on our hands. So I really hope, Well that's the thing.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: Like on this video player, on this trailer, everything looks crisp.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: It looks like I could see everything for all tens
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: and purposes for those dark scenes. I need to have
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: that same look in every episode because if there's gonna
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: be one episode where it's gonna be in a cave
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: or night all for the twenty five to forty five
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: minute episodes that we're probably gonna get and I can't
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: see shit, like, that's gonna be a problem. Yeah, And
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: it's it's an ongoing problem that we've had on this
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: streaming site and it needs to get fixed.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: Uh so, like sites really because House the Dragon has
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: the same problem.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: Oh does it really yeah, yeah, I I need like
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: I need that to get fixed. I don't know how
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: or why it has not gotten fixed or like why
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: it's such a big issue, But like I feel like
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: in the last like five years, studios have just been like,
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: we don't need any extra lighting, Like we're good here,
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: you know, just put on your night vision film it
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: and we're good like that. I feel like that's what
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: they're doing. But this, this looks fun again. As I said,
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: there was a little bit of hyperbolic opinions about the
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: domestication of Star Wars. I think the only quote unquote
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: new thing for me is vehicles on roads. That's like
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: the newest thing for me. And when it comes to
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: Star Wars, because of course we've always seen just ships
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: and aircraft's going through Coroissant and stuff, hundreds of stories
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: in the air, and it's just what to expect. Corrausson
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: is the most domesticated planet that we know of so far.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: There is a scene where it looks like they're in
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: a city at one point that looks fine. The houses
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: don't look that terrible. It's just hey, this, I think
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: this for sure is like, Hey, how do we get
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: more viewers to feel like, oh I connect with this
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: in some sort of way.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And in regards to like the vehicles on roads though,
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: like like they're still in the air, they're just following roads. Yes, yeah,
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: so like we've seen like even in Ahsoka, like the
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: rip and rebels, like the repulsor bikes and everything.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: Because that's true. There was also as soon as I
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: was saying it, I remembered the the truck in obi Wan, Yeah,
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: played by Zach Braf, the character that was played by
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: Zach Braf. Uh So I so yeah, it's it's a
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: there's already a set precedent for that type of vehicle
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: in the Star Wars universe. But just like having traffic
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: and stuff, like, I guess that's the new thing. And
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: it looks a little bit more quote unquote normal. Uh.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I think this is fine. I think that
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: you know, kids are gonna watch this and they're gonna
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: be like, hey, that looks like my room. You know, Hey,
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: that looks like my neighborhood. Hey I have friends like this,
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: And that's I think what they're trying to grasp. H
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: And it does have a vibe of like, hey, you
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: can watch this with the family. So I think that's
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: gonna be fun too.
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: No, I'm excited for sure.
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: All right, Well that is it for Skeleton Crew. I
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: don't believe from I am looking at our chat now. Uh,
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: that was it for like the main course of things.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: There was, of course the animation panel again, like we said,
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: it was just a look back at the last two
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: decades of everything, Clone War's Rebels, bad Batch, all of that. Uh.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I think that is it for all of
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: the news segment, right.
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: Yes, So now let's dive into aftermath. We're gonna go
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: into our second ad break and we'll be right back.
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: Is by Chuck Windeg. It is the first in a
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: trilogy of books leading up to the Battle of Jacku.
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: It released September fourth, twenty fifteen, and uh. Wind Dig
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: got the title after he tweeted on September fourth, twenty
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: fourteen about how he really wanted to write a licensed
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: Star Wars title. Jason Fry and Gary Witda passed that
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: message along to Shelley Shapiro, who was an editor at
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: large for del Rey, who felt that wind Dig would
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: be a good fit for the project based on having
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: read his title under the Imperium Sky. Upon being approached
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: to write the book. Wyn dig quote had a reaction
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: of girlish joy. He wrote the title in under forty
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: five days. And long story short about my opinion on
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: this book. It shows his writing it in forty five days.
• 43:27
  Speaker 8: Shows yeah, it it, Oh Katie.
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: I read this book twice for y'all. Okay, I read
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: it twice.
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: This is I am so sorry.
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: This is the the So the first time I read
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: this book all the way from front to back was
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: the fifth time that I had attempted reading this book
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: the fifth time.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: Fifth. Holy crap.
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: Yes, I have had this book on audible. Okay, here's
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: here's how it tells you where I got this book.
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: I got this book. It was on my mother's Amazon account.
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: I had to lug into my mother's Audible account to
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: access this book because I didn't get my own Amazon
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: account until twenty seventeen.
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: Like, so, have you read the other two? No?
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: I have not even attempted the other child.
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, so journey, this is going to be something. Okay,
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: So let me just go ahead and get this out
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: of the way, guys. So, I of course also read
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: this on Audible. I work in an environment where I
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: can just put something in my headphone and build things
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: and boom. I am usually able to absorb everything. I
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: may have to, like, you know, go back like thirty
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: seconds or so to like catch something, but I grasp
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: a majority of everything. Katie, I had to restart chapters
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: in this book, and I I'm interested to see how
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: it's written in physical form. But this like chapter one,
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: two three interlude, Chapter four or five interlude, chapter six interlude,
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: Chapter seven, eight nine interlude, I'm like, what are we doing?
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: Like like it is cool to get like the different
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: perspectives of rebellion across the galaxy don't get me.
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: Yes, but I was gonna say, I'm oh, go ahead,
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: go ahead.
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: I don't know if this is the time for that, Like,
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: I don't know if this was the book for that.
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: I don't think so either. Because one thing, I was
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: thinking a lot about this, Katie a lot about this.
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: It made me question my love for this fandom.
• 46:23
  Speaker 9: Okay, because I was, like, I tell Katie all the time,
• 46:29
  Speaker 9: I want more politics in Star Wars, like we get it.
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: In like because I was I was talking it out
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: to myself. I'm like, Okay, what is different? What is
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: different from this compared to the original trilogy compared to
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: the prequels, compared to the Swee sequel trilogy, and how
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: it's leading up to the sequel trilogy right, And I'm like, okay, well,
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: I know that as far as the sequel trilogy goes,
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: the political under tones are very minute. It's kind of
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: just shown in the first movie and in the last movie,
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: and it's kind of drizzled throughout the second movie. But
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: it's not really like how prominent it was in the
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: prequel series, right in the Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones,
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: and Revende of the Sith. It's not in your face.
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: I'm like, Okay, this is supposed to be a political
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: statement of like, hey, the Empire is falling, but we
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: don't want it to fall. We have to rise to
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: power again. Let's do this while the New Republic is
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: trying to mend a broken galaxy. Right, It's supposed to
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: be all of that, And it was such a snoozefest. Yeah,
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: for everything. It hurts my soul exactly.
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: I love Bracelaw, Like when you go read her character
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: article on Wikipedia.
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: I'm glad that she made an appearance on this because
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: we had just talked about in a new Dawn like
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: exactly raised in here again, cool, I'm gonna get more
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: character development. Could not care less.
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: Right, She's all of a sudden in this admile and
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: we're getting behind the scenes stuff. And yes, yes, y'all,
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: I know this is a trilogy and you gotta wait
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: for things to be revealed, and clearly there's something going
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: on behind the scenes that Ray knows that nobody else does.
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: But like we could not get a little bit, like
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: just a little bit because like we literally just like
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: if you were going to introduce new characters and not
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: have this be like a strictly wedge race Sloan face off,
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: then like just give us the new characters with like
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: one additional character involved. But you tried to introduce too
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: many characters while also furthering the rebellion, which is now
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: the New Republic. And it's just too much going on,
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: and there's not enough time spent on anybody other than
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: Snap Snap Wexley mm hmm. Like there's just not.
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: I it's it's very frustrating. Uh.
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: For me, the highlight of this novel is bones.
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: I was gonna say that, Oh my gosh, we're on
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: the same page. I'm so happy you disliked this book
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: as much as I.
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: Is.
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: That sad. I feel like that's sad, but like I
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: have literally seen nobody else hate this book.
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: Like, so here here's the thing, though, we guys, we
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: have said time and time again in our show reviews
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: and our movie reviews, in our book reviews, Hey, we're
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: going to share our truthful like reactions to these things.
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: And there has been novels out there that were like, hey,
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: this is not really my cup of tea, but I
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: can see why, like they wrote it in this perspective,
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: And like one of the one of the biggest ones
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: for us was Padawan in the last year. Padawan was
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: something that we liked, the connections to the High Republic,
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: but it just felt a little janky the way it
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: was written. Yeah, this it just felt so like so
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: for me, you know, I kind of teased it when
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: talking about and Or and Skeleton Crew previously in our
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: news segment. Most of the time, when we're having conversations
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: about what we want in Star Wars, films, books, shows,
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: whatever it is, Hey, let's take a chance without the lightsabers,
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: let's go more politically, let's do this and do that.
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: This book in all Tens and Purposes should be my
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: cup of tea. It should be like, hey, Clay, everything
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: you asked for here. It is no Lightsabers, no Luke Skywalker.
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: Like there is like very small hints of characters from
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: the original trilogy, but like even that, Katie, we got Wedge,
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, cool, Wedge, that's a character that I
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: want to know more about. I didn't get Jack Diddley's
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: squat from Wedge other than hey, I'm a pilot. Hey
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: I'm captured, and that's it. It felt like like there
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: was a moment where and again I don't know this
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: is technically Cannon, right, So there was a moment where
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: Wedge was talking to I don't know if it was
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: Ray or somebody else when he was captured, but he
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: was talking about like what the Empire has done to
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: the galaxy and how many people it hurt. And he says, oh,
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: even someone that I loved at one one time in history.
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: I need confirmation. Is that the same character who created
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: the Sun Destroyer or whatever it was in Legends in
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: the Jedi Academy, she does.
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: Not currently exist.
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: Okay, because just the way Wedge was because in the
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: second book, in the Jedi Academy two we find out
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: that he is what's her name's bodyguard and they like
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: have a fling. So I was like, Oh, are they
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: calling back to a Legends novel? Are they making this canon? Like,
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: what's what's going on here? Nope, there was nothing there.
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: There was There was no crumbs for me, nothing like. Yeah,
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: there should have been stuff throughout this thing, like the
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: fact that like we get small segments of Han in here, right,
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: their retiny pieces of Han, and then we get Hollovids
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: of Lea, and this is like supposed to be motivational
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: for these people who were outside of the New Republic,
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: like learning about the outcome of the war and the
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: Empire is no more, Like you don't have to be
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: afraid anymore. There should be like a rising of hope
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: and everything. I just don't. I didn't feel it. There
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: was nothing there for me. Yeah, And it's just like
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know what this book needs. I honestly don't.
• 54:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because I mean you even have an interlude with
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: Han and Chewey, And that's the lead up for the
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: next book, which is entitled Aftermath Life Debt, which is
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: how Kashik gets rescued from the Empire's grasp and like
• 54:48
  Speaker 3: that doesn't even do it for me, Like I didn't
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: even remember that was there, and that happens. Where does
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: that happen?
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: Like I believe.
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: So that happens like halfway through the book, so I
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: know I made it to that point at like, yeah,
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: one of my read's attempts to get through this book,
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: Like I didn't remember that happening at all, and I knew,
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: I know that life debt is about because she getting rescued.
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm, Like.
• 55:32
  Speaker 3: This book is completely forgettable at this point.
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: Like also, I also need to to say this I understand,
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: and actually I don't understand, Katie. I I get the
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: bean culture of it, and I know it's iconic. But
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: if one more book has Acbar saying it's a trap,
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: one more goddamn time, I get it. Okay, it's an
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: iconic moment. It doesn't need to happen in every book
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: that act Bar's in, like it. Acbar has been shown
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: in comics and in other novels as being a complete badass.
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: Without that line, he is reduced in so many people's
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: minds as the meme. But he's so much more.
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: He's so much more he's such a brilliant strategist, and
• 56:40
  Speaker 3: like he has other moments in this book. Sure, as
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: like they find out what's happening on Akiba and everything.
• 56:48
  Speaker 3: And we're not going to dive too much into the
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: summary of this, guys, because like this is a nine
• 56:52
  Speaker 3: year old book at this point. We just really wanted
• 56:55
  Speaker 3: to kind of give you, guys our thoughts and like
• 56:59
  Speaker 3: maybe one we get to the end of this will
• 57:01
  Speaker 3: highlight some key moments for what we think the comic
• 57:04
  Speaker 3: will kind of tackle. But right now, this is what
• 57:06
  Speaker 3: we got. So like there's other key moments as they
• 57:11
  Speaker 3: get to like, oh, hey, we need to go to
• 57:14
  Speaker 3: a Kiva. We have people there. We're wedges in trouble,
• 57:19
  Speaker 3: other people are in trouble. The Empire is they're like
• 57:21
  Speaker 3: all these sorts of things, and so they have like
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: build up to that. But yeah, okay, So in the
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: terms of like other parts of the book that are
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: not placed on a Kiva, what did you think of
• 57:40
  Speaker 3: The New Republic's beginning like interludes. I don't think they're
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: technically interludes, but they're like chapters dedicated to it.
• 57:50
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I I liked it, Like honestly, I think I
• 58:00
  Speaker 10: liked the.
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: Empire's reactions to the war more so than the New
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: Republic in all honesty, but like I because there was
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: moments of like, hey, we don't know what to do,
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: because because there there was a chapter I can't remember
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: how far into the book it was, but like there
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: was a explanation to the New Republic like, hey, you
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: stopped the war, but you stopped the war on alterns
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: and purposes, like you're like side of the galaxy, like
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: you see it as finished. We have to deal with
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: the repercussions. We have to deal with rogue Empire troopers
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: like like raiding our planets, taking our crops and all
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: of these other things and still beating us down. Like
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: what are you guys gonna do about this? Like that's
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: the stuff that I feel like I needed highlighted. Yeah,
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: when it was just like a small highlight in one chapter,
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: it was just like boom. And Also I feel like
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: it's very silly where this person is complaining about this
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: said thing and they're like, you know what, you're right,
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: you're in charge of that now, like you you deal
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: with that, and they're like wait what, Like.
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: The person who comes up to I think it's like
• 59:34
  Speaker 3: mon Makma's assistant. Yeah, it is like because she that
• 59:39
  Speaker 3: person has like the whole argument that you just said,
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: like and she's like, yeah, you know what, your planet
• 59:46
  Speaker 3: doesn't have a representative in the new Republic. Congratulations, the
• 59:49
  Speaker 3: Senate meets today. You're the new senator for your planet.
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: Like it's like you don't like this unfortunately, Like I
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: feel like, of course, this is not how American politics work.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: But like I feel like, unfortunately, this is how American
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: politics work. It's like, hey, who wants to be in
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: charge of this? You do? Oh you don't. Cool, You're
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: gonna be in charge anyway. It's just like, yeah, like
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: these people aren't qualified. What are you doing to republic?
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 3: Wait, Like, don't get me wrong, Like it is good
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 3: that like the person took initiative and was like, oh,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 3: your planet's not represented, like we need a representative for
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 3: your planet, like come voice your concerns. But also like.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: It's a move in the right direction, but the decision
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: overall verly poorly thought of, Like it was just like
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: not the right thing to do.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so, uh, what did you think about our ragtag
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 3: group of heroes? Nora Wexley, Tim and Wexley slash Snap Wexley,
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 3: mister Bones of course.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: Mister Bones the and then and uh crap, what was
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: her name?
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 3: Yes, so.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: I need to know because we learn about Sindiar is
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: the one that was the old imperial officer. Uh I believe.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 3: Rug.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: So he he kind of has this energy of like
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: very he's very cowdice and then just kind of happens
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: to fall into everything that is going on. Very early
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: on in the book, he meets a Twilic h and
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: they're like, oh, like, you know people, and I know people,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: like we can make things happen. Let's you know, do
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: this and save these people. And you know things are
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: changing now that the empire is gone, you know, and
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: it's it's starting to push this exposition and you really
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: know who Cindure is because like uh like he he uh.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: The the Twilic is named uh orgo Doma do do
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: Kura uh, but he references him as oh the tailhead.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: Like it's not racism, you know, it's it's just like
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: the stuff that's embedded into the empire and like makes
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: you feel gross. And it's like I shouldn't like this guy,
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: and I don't think I do like him. But near
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: the end, you start to feel like okay, like he
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: is making some of the right choices here, He's starting
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: to move in the right direction. Is he canonically one
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: of the first gay characters in Star Wars?
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes he is.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: Okay, I I I I like that.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: There's a moment where we meet a bounty hunter by
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: the name of uh, what's her name, Jazz Mari Jazz. Yes. Uh.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: There's there's a part in this book where Sindire is
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: walking up to her and he's like, oh, I need
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: to I need to tell you something, and she's like,
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: I'll do it. He's like, what when all this is
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: over we're being a couple. And he's like, whoa, whoa
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: what that hold the phone? That's not what I was
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: coming over here to talk about a side note, not
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: into it. And she's like into what aliens like, of course,
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: because she knows that he's from the Empire, throwing racism
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: out there. He's like, no, women, I'm not into women,
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: like chill out, like call see.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 3: I don't even remember that part of the book happening.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 3: And I read it twice in.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: The last I had a good laugh out of it.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: That's the only reason why I remembered that, but like
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: I love her as a character also.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 3: Yes, Jazz is probably my favorite part.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: She She has like this dry humor about her, and
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: I think it's just because she is what racis. She
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: she is a.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: A Darth Maul race.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, uh oh shoot, it was right here.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 3: No, no, I did not want to bookmark that. Oops Brac.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: Yes, she's a Zabrac. Yes, but she has this like
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: very dry humor. And there's a little bit of history
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: between her and uh Sinjiar. They were born, they were
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: both on indoor at the end of the war yep.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: So like we get a little bit of history there
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: and like some trauma and they like get to talk
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: it out a little bit. I don't feel like a
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 2: lot comes out of that though, So it's like eh again,
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: and then the highlights for the other characters we have
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: uh uh Now Noura is a part of Alphabet Squadron. Correct, No,
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: she's not a part of that book series.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 3: She is not. Oh after Bath and Alphabet Squadron take
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 3: place at the same time.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, okay, good to No, so uh Noura and
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: Timman have this very broken family relationship. She went out
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: to be a part of the rebellion, he stayed with
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: his aunt's no, no, sorry. Timman is the father, right,
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: Timman is the son. Timmin's the son hold the phone.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 3: So this is he is in most sequel series.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah that's fun. I didn't know that. So okay, so
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: now I get to see his entire story from when
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: he is Also just gonna say this, don't like his
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 2: death very lackluster and for a character actor that I
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: actually liked. But yeah, so tim And he has this
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: attitude of like, hey, mom, you chose the galaxy and
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: not me, so screw you. You go save the galaxy.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna stay here. I'm comfortable, I have my own business,
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 2: I'm running things around here. And it's okay, like they
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: have their like happily ever after ending. Yay, But I
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: think again, the only highlight of that relationship is the
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: creation of Bones. Like he Bones is so awesome. When
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: you first see him, he's just like kind of like, okay,
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: it's just a droid. But then when tim And actually
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: gets into trouble and it's like hey, Bones, and then
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: he just slaughters everybody.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 3: I was like, oh god, I want to say he's
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 3: a mod, Like somebody did a mod of him and
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 3: Lego Skywalker saga where you could like play mister Bones.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: Oh really yeah, that's fun.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 3: Because he got that popular. But yeah, mister Bones is
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 3: my favorite. I really thought I would like Nora better,
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 3: but I also just don't think I know that much
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 3: about her. And her husband's name is.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: Britain by the way, Okay, yeah, uh.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 3: And Brenton was arrested by the Empire because as he
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 3: was sending messages for the rebellion. So that's how Nora
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 3: got involved with the rebellion, as she was trying to
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 3: find her husband and get him rescued.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: So yeah, uh, there's uh, you know, at the very beginning.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: Also we get like there is we get a little
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: bit of context that like Nora has a history with Wedge,
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: not a romantic history, but just like a history of like, hey,
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: we were in the rebellion together type thing. Yes, and
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: there is still nothing from that, Like there's so much.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: And again, like Katie said, this is the beginning of
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: a trilogy trilogy. I'm sure there's going to be some
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: bridges in connective tissue throughout the other two books, but
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: I'm just like, this is a start of a trilogy.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: In a already known galaxy. You have to give us
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: more with these newer characters for me to be able
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 2: to latch onto them, because again, like getting what we
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: got is it? I was like, okay, you know it's
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: it's whatever.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And I don't want to say too much because
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 3: I do know how it ends. I like, because I
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 3: read all the Wikipedia summaries when I decided not to finish. Well,
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 3: that's what Wikipedia is there for. I hate to break
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 3: it to you. Is that sad? I don't know. It's
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 3: like spark not ites. Okay, you didn't read it.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And like I think that there is just like bones,
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: I'm sure that we can find some things that we
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: will enjoy in this trilogy. Are they all written by Chuck?
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: Oh No?
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 3: That was what surprised me about the new trilogy is
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 3: that they're having different authors come in. Is because every
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 3: other trilogy they've done, Yeah, because it's been thrown through
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 3: on a sentence Aftermath and Alphabet Squadron, and all of
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 3: them have been written by the same authors.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: Joy. Okay, Well, hopefully by the second book Chuck has
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: gotten a little bit more on his feet, because.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: Just didn't like the way this was written. It just
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: felt really off for me. Now that I know what
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: to sort of expect going into it, I think maybe
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: it could be a little bit more enjoyable. But we'll see.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: We will definitely see.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 3: Is there a development on this one? There's not a
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 3: development one on this one, it does say as of
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 3: August sixth, sixteen, reception for Aftermath Life Debt has been
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 3: generally positive, particularly in comparison with the preceding Aftermath title.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: Okay, so they acknowledge, Hey, a lot of people didn't
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 2: like this other one, but they like this one. Like
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: at least they make the acknowledgement there.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 3: We'll see it in a month, Yeah, we will.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: We will see. We will, of course keep to our
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: schedule and have this trilogy out. Are we going to
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: be done before.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 11: The next series starts for comics or.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 5: So?
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 3: I remember how we schedule finishing right as I think
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 3: the second issue comes out?
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 2: Ah, okay, okay, okay, cool, So we'll have, you know,
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 2: maybe one or two things spoiled for us via comic,
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: but probably not a whole lot. But yeah, you know,
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: we we will get it done for sure.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 3: And I'm not like avoiding talking about things for like
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 3: spoiler's sake. But like, we're gonna be reading this, so
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 3: I don't want to spoil it for you. I guess yeah, no, no, no.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 2: That's so, that's totally fine. I had something that I
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: also wanted to add. Oh we did get the first
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: appearance of Vamp got Vamped.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 3: In this, Yes we did.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: I was I recognized that name.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of people were sad when he showed
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 3: up in Mando season two. Yeah, Mando season two. So
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 3: he showed up in Mando season two. But then Chuck
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 3: Wendigg was not credited as creating the character in the episode.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, so because I looked for that, and I
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 3: brought it up when we were reviewing it because I
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 3: knew the character had existed, especially with like the reaction
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 3: from everybody else and stuff.
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: So interesting interesting, All right, well.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 3: Where can they find you? Clay?
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: I so side note real quick. I literally just I
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: just refreshed Twitter and somebody made this pretty badass looking
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: fan made poster for Revenge of the Sith, and I
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: was like, what is this? Uh? And apparently there is
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: uh a uh, what's what? What's the sign? Petition? Website? Changed?
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 2: Dot org change or yeah? For people saying would you
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 2: a four hour ultimate cut of Revenge of the Sith
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: with additional new scenes added.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 3: I guess I was not, because that was not how
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 3: the movie was intended. And yes, I know Ahsoka is
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 3: a new character. I don't give a shit.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 2: I yeah, I think that. I love the edits of
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: like on TikTok and reels and stuff like of people
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: splicing the scenes together themselves. That's good enough for me.
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 2: Like getting getting all the audio cues and everything else
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: is fun within itself, So I don't need a four
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: hour cut of Revenge of the Sith. That actually sounds
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: very painful. But you can find me at fanboy Clay
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: on Twitter and any and all social media. Uh. Currently,
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: I am going to be putting out another episode on
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: Ranger Aliance, so be on the lookout for that. Uh.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 2: Of course, I am creating content for ma will Snap,
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: creating a whole bunch of decks, putting those out there
• 1:16:03

• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: go check us out there. I'm trying to remember if
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 2: there was anything in particular.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 11: I was talking to Abby about possibly restarting some Patreon stuff,
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 11: But with the new job starting soon, I don't want
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 11: to make any promises and then forget all about them,
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 11: So trying to Yeah, I'm trying to get on my
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 11: feet for that first, and then you will, you guys
• 1:16:50

  Speaker 2: But yeah, just go follow me on Twitter, having a
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: lot of well not a lot of fun on there
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: because it's it's Twitter, you know, but you know, just
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: social interactions overall. It's it's where I'm gonna be. So, Katie,
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: what about.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 3: You, y'all? You can find me on most social media platforms.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 3: It is at Slice Katie. This show you can find
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 3: on Twitter. It is at Star Wars Alliance at the
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 3: eight in the War is very important, don't get it.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 3: You can also shoot us an email at Star Wars
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 3: Alliance at gmail dot com. Remember there's no eight in
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 3: the Wars, and then feel free to shoot us a
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 3: text relief of voicemail at eight three zero five three
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 3: eight four eight to eight. So with that, I want
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 3: to wish everyone a great day or night. Oh I
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 3: forgot one last thing because I wanted to talk about
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 3: this at the beginning, and I forgot. You might notice
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 3: that the episodes have started at a random, dude number.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 3: That is because I uploaded all of our old episodes
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 3: to the Star Wars Alliance feed, where all of our
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 3: pisodes they're on one feed, so you can go back
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 3: and listen to all of them or none of them,
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 3: whatever your choice or preferences. But you're listening to none
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 3: of them in you're here. That surprises me. So I
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 3: figured out that we were at episode and this was
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 3: before last week that I had done this. So we
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 3: decided that we were just going to start uh renumbering
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 3: the episodes at two hundred, and you just have to
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 3: find which episodes fill in the thirteen episodes between one
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 3: eighty seven and two hundred. So we're not renumbering every
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 3: single episode in order of how they were released. That's
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 3: not happening. But we started over at two hundred last week,
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 3: so today's episode is two one. So every episode will
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 3: have a number on it now so that we can
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 3: keep better track in the future.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, yeah, that was my fault because I
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: was like, oh, I'll be clever. I won't put an
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: episode number on the book reviews, so it's easier for
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: people to find. And it just paid a clusterfuck for
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: all of us, so that won't be happening again. But yeah,
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 2: really excited to be past two hundred episodes and you know,
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: we'll see how before we get into you know, the
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: next coming years.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 3: Here's to two hundred more. Yeah, with that, y'all, I
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 3: want to wish everyone a great day or night, whatever
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 3: time day you are listening or watching, and we will
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 3: see y'all next time. The Fort with you
