• 0:00
  Hello. Then it's time for most things
• 0:02
  Kenobi. Hi everyone, welcome to another
• 0:17
  episode of most. Thanks Kenobi.
• 0:18
  A podcast about Obi-Wan Kenobi in all things Star Wars.
• 0:22
  I'm your host Leanne and I'm your host Lauren.
• 0:25
  Oh boy. This week is fun.
• 0:28
  This week is a lot of fun. One of our favorite characters
• 0:33
  ever. Yes.
• 0:35
  Who's been in some of our favorite episodes ever.
• 0:39
  That's true. Clone Wars episode.
• 0:41
  Yeah, we see erect and our patrons are Aaron's patreons
• 0:48
  are, I'm never sure which term to use it either Atomic sit-up
• 0:52
  twi'lek and twi'lek. Um, our patrons chose this
• 0:56
  episode. We asked them a character study,
• 1:00
  who would you like us to study and they said Hondo ohnaka.
• 1:05
  So, how on Earth could we turn that down?
• 1:07
  We couldn't. He's truly one of those
• 1:13
  characters who I'm always. So, Delighted but he's in an
• 1:16
  episode. It's so I'm always like oh good
• 1:19
  it's going to be a good episode. He really is.
• 1:21
  And do you remember the voice actors name?
• 1:25
  Yeah, Jim Cummings. Thank you.
• 1:26
  He is just a gem and he voices. What Winnie the Pooh?
• 1:34
  Yes. And the little, the little
• 1:37
  Firefly from The Princess and the Frog.
• 1:42
  He does the voice of the little lightning bug.
• 1:44
  And is everyone's favorite? Oh my God.
• 1:47
  Finally, why? Oh, I didn't know that.
• 1:49
  Yeah, it's delightful because I was I watched the SS in the
• 1:55
  Frog, which has Princess Tiana in it.
• 1:57
  And thus Firefly who becomes a star of the show.
• 2:02
  In my opinion. I said, who is voicing this?
• 2:05
  He's really good and I looked it up and I'm like, oh my God, is
• 2:08
  Hondo ohnaka. Like, so he really is brilliant.
• 2:15
  Like he does stuff with his voice.
• 2:16
  That most voice actors probably. Don't even know you can do.
• 2:20
  Yeah, he has like, he'll use A pattern, a Cadence that is
• 2:27
  really unexpected and it seems so natural and it's so engaging
• 2:33
  and really humorous. He's really got good comedic
• 2:37
  timing. Yeah, so we love him and we love
• 2:40
  the character of Hondo. He just pops up throughout Star
• 2:45
  Wars. It's kind of one of those
• 2:48
  characters were. He has to voice him?
• 2:50
  Yeah. Oh yeah.
• 2:51
  There can be no substitute. Yeah, I think they even even
• 2:55
  have him voiceover at-bat to write like the oh yeah.
• 2:59
  Like the live-action it's actually still Jim Cummings
• 3:03
  voice for sure. And if anyone has been two
• 3:06
  galaxies Edge and has done, I don't want to spoil it for
• 3:13
  people who haven't, but if you do wanted the rides, he's a
• 3:16
  fixture. They have an animatronic Hondo
• 3:20
  and it's Jim Cummings voice, and it's very authentic.
• 3:24
  And I think it's great because for people who haven't been
• 3:29
  introduced to the character of Hondo and they see him at
• 3:34
  galaxies Edge, you think of them as just like, a funny alien
• 3:39
  species character? Who's involved in this ride like
• 3:43
  my friend Derek, who had no idea who Honda was?
• 3:46
  He just knew him as the guy at the beginning of the ride and
• 3:49
  galaxies Edge. And then I showed him clips of
• 3:52
  like, okay, no, he's an actual Fixture and we love him.
• 3:57
  And then like deal. Oh my God had no idea.
• 4:00
  He was a bigger deal than that and it's like yes.
• 4:02
  So they do it in such a way galaxies as worry.
• 4:05
  You're not left like who's this guy, you know?
• 4:09
  Yeah. He's still charming and
• 4:12
  ridiculous and you like him, even if you don't have a
• 4:15
  backstory. So, I mean, if he's there at
• 4:20
  bets ooh, yeah, galaxies galaxies and right, that's great
• 4:23
  too. Is that the same thing?
• 4:24
  It's the same open up in there. Yeah, so you We know he survives
• 4:28
  all the way. Yes equals.
• 4:30
  Yes. So that's actually really cool.
• 4:33
  Yeah, I could show up in any of the shows that where that are
• 4:37
  coming out. True.
• 4:38
  It's really true. And if you look at his Wikipedia
• 4:41
  page, his its Cannon. Now that he's a part of what's
• 4:47
  Kira, you know, Kira is part of the Red Dawn, Red Dawn or
• 4:51
  Crimson dogs allowed on something like that.
• 4:54
  So he ends up in that, of course.
• 4:57
  You know, he's entangled in that and then he forms the story of
• 5:02
  him at Batu, is he goes to, but to, which is on Galaxies, the
• 5:07
  galaxies Edge, it's in the unknown regions that's where
• 5:10
  they got galaxies Edge from. They literally made up a planet.
• 5:13
  So they could make a theme park out of it.
• 5:15
  But whatever. Right.
• 5:16
  And then wrote books. Yeah.
• 5:18
  And they're trying to get totally.
• 5:20
  So he's out there running a transportation company which is
• 5:25
  really just a front for For a smuggling company.
• 5:29
  So it's Hondo is doing what Hondo does best even beyond the
• 5:34
  Battle of Endor. There is gonna say that sounds
• 5:37
  like condo being Hondo? Yeah, and I guess he was also
• 5:42
  involved in the Battle of crate. He was involved in, you know,
• 5:48
  there's he's he's everywhere and nowhere near the same time.
• 5:53
  Yes. He does.
• 5:57
  He pops up everywhere. Like I had no idea that he had
• 6:02
  an adventure with Han and Chewie.
• 6:04
  Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, it's I guess it's in some comic book,
• 6:09
  but it also has to do with bed to Andres.
• 6:11
  I I was just like, oh okay. I mean it makes sense, they're
• 6:16
  similar oh yeah, well Scoundrels the the but to experience one of
• 6:21
  the rides is, you pilot the Millennium Falcon and You're
• 6:25
  taking a transport for him. Oh, how cool?
• 6:29
  I need to go there someday? Yeah, it's, it's ridiculous.
• 6:33
  But it works. And I can tell you from the
• 6:37
  perspective of someone who stayed on the star Cruiser, he's
• 6:40
  also involved in a tiny way with your stay on the star Cruiser.
• 6:45
  So he's long after, you know, the first order, I'm sorry.
• 6:50
  Yeah, the first order is demolished and and Well, maybe
• 6:56
  not because that took place in the middle, right?
• 7:00
  It's like before. Rise of such Skywalker?
• 7:02
  Yeah. Correct.
• 7:03
  But I'm assuming he makes it past that because it's Hondo.
• 7:06
  Yeah, they haven't officially killed him so he must be alive
• 7:10
  somewhere. Yeah.
• 7:12
  I okay. So also is he he sets up shop
• 7:17
  kind of near the corporate sector?
• 7:19
  Yeah. Originally like when he was on
• 7:22
  florrum well, even maybe even before floor but like, when he
• 7:25
  first created his gang yes yes it was kind of, he's kind of
• 7:31
  like working out by the corporate sector and the is it
• 7:36
  tie on hegemony or tianhe? Good luck?
• 7:39
  I don't know. Well, you know how there's like
• 7:42
  why? Wild space.
• 7:43
  And there's like the different sectors of the Galaxy the
• 7:47
  corporate sector is where And or starts, oh yes, and there's the
• 7:55
  possible tie-in. We've talked about a possible
• 7:57
  tie in with Crimson Dawn, Red Dawn, whatever the hell they're
• 8:02
  called, correct. I just, this is very unlikely
• 8:06
  but I can't help. But laugh at the idea that Honda
• 8:09
  will end up in season two high and to her would bow to Tony
• 8:16
  Gilroy if he does it, I know he's not about And service or
• 8:21
  whatever, but I could see it beat like fitting.
• 8:25
  Could you imagine? I would die sin and Hondo.
• 8:28
  Tell her what a weird Duo. Well, I mean, it could be
• 8:31
  practice for him dealing with K2 a.
• 8:33
  So in the future, it's essentially the same thing is.
• 8:39
  Okay to isil is the equivalent of droid equivalent of Hondo as
• 8:43
  far as like snark goes. Oh my God.
• 8:45
  Yes. Honda's snark is epic and I
• 8:48
  fucking love it the way he He deals with Obi-Wan Kenobi is oh,
• 8:54
  just delightful Testament to Obi-Wan's character to because
• 8:59
  it doesn't totally hate Hondo. He kind of weirdly respects them
• 9:05
  and like, just kind of deals with him.
• 9:08
  Yeah. Handles him.
• 9:10
  Kind of like Quinlan Voss. So like Quinlan Hondo and K2 are
• 9:18
  all kind of similar. Yes, yes.
• 9:20
  It's very much so which I think is great.
• 9:25
  So it does make a weird kind of sense.
• 9:28
  It really does really does and Hondo started his life.
• 9:32
  His mother taught him how to pick pocket and that's where all
• 9:35
  of this started. So those poor man didn't stand a
• 9:37
  chance. His mother who he loved dearly
• 9:40
  because he quotes he quotes her in an episode.
• 9:44
  Ma my sweet mother always said son.
• 9:46
  If one hostage is good, two are better and three.
• 9:48
  Well that's just good business. So thanks Mom.
• 9:54
  Yeah, seriously mom do ohnaka God.
• 10:02
  I don't know why I said that Mom do and Hondo.
• 10:06
  I like it it's cute. They could have out a team.
• 10:10
  They could have to bed. She sold him into slavery.
• 10:12
  That to would have that too. Well, I didn't know that
• 10:17
  actually about how know until we're going to do this episode.
• 10:20
  I never knew he started. Well, I mean he was didn't start
• 10:23
  as a slave but he was a child sold into slavery.
• 10:26
  Yeah. And he was a Huts slave.
• 10:30
  Yes he was yeah which yeah be the best.
• 10:34
  Learn from the best. You know.
• 10:37
  All right. Well yeah so he was a pour Le
• 10:41
  the hot and he was a cup Bearer. I assume that means he holds a
• 10:47
  drink. I'm just like I'm guessing
• 10:49
  guessing I could be very naive and wrong about that but don't
• 10:53
  you think it's funny that Hondo? Eventually has a CO a key and
• 10:56
  monkey lizard as a pal. Ow, and yes, the Huts had our
• 11:01
  favorite co-ack in monkey lizard.
• 11:03
  As a pal. Would you call him?
• 11:08
  Sir. Oh, crumb Master crumb.
• 11:11
  Yes, to crumb Master drum. Muster chrome doesn't Hondo's
• 11:21
  monkey. Lizard.
• 11:21
  Have a funny name to pilf muck muck?
• 11:26
  Yes, I knew it was something repetitious like that.
• 11:29
  Well, he has, he has to they're both mucky-mucks but of the name
• 11:34
  muck muck. It's pilf and pick muck muck.
• 11:38
  I must be siblings. Quacking monkey lizards name
• 11:44
  pilf and pick muck muck who are voiced by our favorite Matt
• 11:50
  Lanter. Ah, I love that.
• 11:54
  He's got such a great sense of humor.
• 11:57
  Truly Well, they're, they're episode together with.
• 12:04
  Yeah. And again, what does it do
• 12:07
  capture? This is one of my favorites.
• 12:10
  Oh my God, a snark is on a new level between Obi-Wan Count,
• 12:16
  Dooku and Hondo. They're just a smirk Fest
• 12:20
  happening on florrum, with no end in sight.
• 12:23
  And I love that episode. It's so entertaining.
• 12:27
  That's the first time we see Hondo, right?
• 12:29
  I believe ever. Oh yeah, I think so.
• 12:32
  I loved the episode and like the minute Hondo came on screen.
• 12:37
  I was like, I'm gonna I'm gonna like this camera.
• 12:40
  Oh yeah, well clot. Yeah, he's so entertaining.
• 12:44
  Well, he's one of those people that like he encounters a Sith
• 12:47
  Lord like Darth Maul, and he's just like whatever.
• 12:51
  We don't even understand what you're saying.
• 12:53
  We're a bunch of pirates. Get out of our pirate house.
• 12:55
  Like the audacity, it's just great.
• 12:58
  He doesn't give a shit. No he's not like he's not fazed
• 13:02
  by anybody he's not phased by a Sith.
• 13:04
  Lord like Dooku he's not fazed by the Jedi and he's just always
• 13:12
  kind of cracking jokes and just taking everything lightly and
• 13:16
  exactly. Except I do like when the Sith
• 13:21
  come when sauvage and Mall come to his his planet and Obi-Wan is
• 13:26
  talking to, everyone is talking to Hondo.
• 13:30
  No. He's like they don't seem like
• 13:31
  normal Jedi. Yeah.
• 13:33
  Right. What's wrong with his spiky?
• 13:35
  Headed freaks. He's just trying to figure it
• 13:39
  out as he goes along but all he knows is that he's not going to
• 13:42
  bend his will to any of them. So yeah.
• 13:45
  Get off my planet. I have to admit, I love his
• 13:50
  accent and we love his lair. His den on Flores.
• 13:58
  Here's a pretty sweet layer, pirate, hang out.
• 14:03
  It's got dancers that Anakin is mesmerized by and Obi-Wan's
• 14:08
  trying. Not to look at and he's
• 14:11
  pretending like he's not noticing.
• 14:12
  Yeah, the drinks are strong, I've heard And drugged some of
• 14:18
  the yes yeah I mean they're just there shady and they don't
• 14:23
  apologize for it and you got to respect that a little bit.
• 14:28
  Yeah I mean they I think my a few interactions and like op1
• 14:32
  kind of got a sense for how to deal with Hondo because Hondo is
• 14:36
  not necessarily always bad, he just is self-interested but like
• 14:43
  he did help like it onderon. Ron hero, I mean, for a price,
• 14:49
  they paid him, but he brought weapons to saw gerrera and
• 14:52
  steela gerrera. So and I had forgotten, he was
• 14:56
  even part of that. So you can buy his loyalty for a
• 14:59
  short amount of time. Sure.
• 15:02
  And he's not always gonna double-cross you, he might but
• 15:05
  he might not. Yeah, you might not, but he'll
• 15:07
  be open about it either way. Yes, he sucks.
• 15:11
  I mean the middle name of Hondo is authenticity, right?
• 15:15
  He is us. Then take as they come not
• 15:18
  apologetic, he doesn't doubt himself.
• 15:22
  He doubts his partners and his gang but ya never doubts himself
• 15:27
  and he's always looking for an opportunity because even when
• 15:30
  his gang turns against him with mall and they joined Mall once
• 15:35
  he shows that he's got the situation under control and mall
• 15:38
  is not going to overthrow him. His gang switches.
• 15:43
  Loyalty back to him and Hondo takes him back.
• 15:45
  But yes, of course. So let's go pill for ships
• 15:48
  together. I just like the he is always
• 15:52
  looking for the opportunity and isn't necessarily vengeful.
• 15:57
  He's looking for profit. Yes, like the Felucia episode
• 16:02
  which I also love that episode. Oh my God, I love it.
• 16:06
  The Bounty Hunter one. Yeah.
• 16:07
  Where they? They go to help the little
• 16:09
  turtle people. Yes.
• 16:11
  Like Obi-Wan Ahsoka, Anakin teach them how to fight as a
• 16:14
  village. Yes.
• 16:16
  And then I'm doing is in his in his bro, show up and things go
• 16:21
  awry and he's like, this effort is no longer profitable and he
• 16:24
  just pieces out. Like, it's too much work.
• 16:28
  I'm done. Yeah, this is, I don't have time
• 16:31
  for how much effort this takes. And you know, I do love how he
• 16:34
  says, good no be, you know, he's always like like, you're my
• 16:39
  friend right, you know, I come now Kenobi.
• 16:44
  I have to say, I love the weird. Dynamic of then he's also the
• 16:48
  voice of Winnie, the Pooh with you and McGregor is Christopher
• 16:51
  from. And so it's like Hondo and
• 16:54
  Obi-Wan back together. Again, it's very strange but I
• 16:58
  approve I approve. So great.
• 17:02
  Did you know he based his accent on Yul Brynner?
• 17:06
  No, really. Yeah.
• 17:11
  Okay. He said it's like you will
• 17:13
  Brenner's / one degree away from that kind of Because I feel like
• 17:17
  it nonspecific kind of Eastern European, ish accent.
• 17:23
  I could see it. I thought that was pretty funny.
• 17:26
  He kind of reminds me of Johnny Depp in Pirates of the
• 17:30
  Caribbean. Oh yeah.
• 17:32
  Like his look cuz he's got those dreads in the gold pieces in the
• 17:36
  dreads or at least, you know. They look like I don't know.
• 17:42
  Week ways have those Right things whether they're
• 17:46
  dreadlocks or yeah, I don't know.
• 17:49
  We're not sure they're pieces of something and there they have
• 17:54
  things, they have their ornate because they're kind of like
• 17:57
  braids to sometimes. They are kind of.
• 17:59
  So I'm not sure if that's the right word, but did you know
• 18:02
  that Hondo went out with aurra sing.
• 18:06
  Like romantically? Yes.
• 18:08
  They had a relationship. That doesn't surprise me.
• 18:12
  I don't think kind of reference that in one of the episodes I
• 18:14
  think they kiss or something, in an episode 0 because he's, he
• 18:19
  has a picking up, Jango Fett at some point.
• 18:22
  That's right. Because he has the slave, like
• 18:25
  he has the, the ship, the Slave 1, or whatever it is that Boba
• 18:28
  has laid out, it's not Django as well.
• 18:30
  It's Boba. I'm an idiot.
• 18:32
  It's not Django right here. Well, I heard, I heard Boba.
• 18:37
  Okay, good because I meant boy, Brian heard what it was.
• 18:41
  Well, it's both a young bull but because he's under the care of
• 18:44
  Aura and he's like, trying to be right.
• 18:47
  One of their, I had, that was her ship right before.
• 18:50
  It was Boba ship or correct. Yeah, that's a twisted.
• 18:54
  I want to ask condo how he managed to deal with that giant
• 18:58
  antenna that comes out of her head.
• 18:59
  Like, how did that work? What is that antenna?
• 19:03
  I think it's whole care. I out.
• 19:04
  Yeah I don't. Does she like a chip in her
• 19:07
  brain or something? Where she could communicate?
• 19:09
  I don't know. It just seems awfully long.
• 19:12
  I would have trimmed it back or had it.
• 19:14
  Telescoping like the 90s cell phones are not that cell phones,
• 19:18
  but like like the Zack Morris phone, were the yeah, and uh,
• 19:22
  pulls out and then you can push it back in that would be the
• 19:26
  ideal or a sing telescoping antenna.
• 19:32
  In my opinion, I like it. So he ends up in Rebels also,
• 19:41
  right here. Yes, he does there with now
• 19:44
  truth be told he kind of annoyed me in Rebels because it was like
• 19:47
  too much me too. Yeah.
• 19:49
  Me too. It was you know, to Pepper him
• 19:52
  and sprinkle him in is one thing but like it was a little
• 19:55
  over-the-top. It got a little over-the-top for
• 19:58
  me in Rebels. I was happy to see him.
• 20:00
  I was too, but it felt almost like he had a different writer.
• 20:03
  So he was kind of like overwritten, whereas in clothes,
• 20:07
  Wars. I think they kind of like I
• 20:09
  think Jim Cummings brought a lot to the character that wasn't
• 20:13
  necessarily on the page. I totally agree.
• 20:17
  Yeah. I felt the same way that the
• 20:18
  rebels was a little bit much or maybe it was just the fact that
• 20:22
  he was kind of hooked up with Ezra the entire time and Ezra
• 20:25
  annoys me anyway. So maybe it was just a side
• 20:28
  product of like Ezra being in the scene.
• 20:31
  Yeah, I know I felt the same. I felt the same.
• 20:34
  We have the same opinion. I think we do.
• 20:36
  We do, we do. Do we do?
• 20:38
  Yeah. Sorry.
• 20:40
  Everybody who loves as ruined, we can still love Rebels, we
• 20:44
  don't have to like everyone in it shit.
• 20:46
  Yeah. Hopefully he'll win me over more
• 20:49
  as an adult. I'm assuming he's an adult in
• 20:52
  the, what is the Ahsoka show or whatever?
• 20:54
  He's in, because I did not like him as a child.
• 20:58
  I've no patience for annoying teenagers like that.
• 21:01
  No, I hope he grows up a little between the time that we last
• 21:04
  saw him with the whales. I'm still stuck.
• 21:07
  The whales. I mean, he was with, he was
• 21:09
  with. What's his name?
• 21:11
  I almost said Tarkin. But you know, same thing.
• 21:15
  It's Ron. Yes Ron Tarkin tease.
• 21:19
  I'm guessing he had to have, you know, grown up a little bit.
• 21:23
  Yeah. Like I need to re-watch the end
• 21:25
  of rebels. I don't really remember why Ezra
• 21:29
  is with Ron. I fancy you.
• 21:31
  Bringing this up Hondo. Did some good things in Rebels
• 21:36
  to get them? To finally win back lothal.
• 21:40
  So he was, he was in on it in a positive way.
• 21:44
  That's right. He did.
• 21:45
  He helped their. I don't remember what he did.
• 21:47
  I just remember that he was there.
• 21:49
  I only watched Rebels, who wants?
• 21:51
  Yeah, I'm trying not to spoil it too, but yeah, he was he was
• 21:54
  involved. Positively will say when did it
• 21:57
  come out? Wasn't it like 10 years ago?
• 21:59
  Yeah, it's hard for me to remember all the details.
• 22:03
  Plus, if you haven't watched it by now, come on.
• 22:08
  That's true. That's true.
• 22:09
  Get on it. Yeah, I mean yeah, I'm behind on
• 22:13
  some stuff, I shouldn't talk. I finally just watched bad batch
• 22:17
  the other day. Well, you're farther than me?
• 22:19
  I don't have Disney plus and I won't get it.
• 22:22
  I'm paying it one month at a time.
• 22:23
  When all of the shows are done and I'm just going to watch all
• 22:26
  of them at once. It's what I did with HBO, Max
• 22:29
  with White Lotus, any White Lotus fans out there.
• 22:31
  Yeah. I just bought it after the
• 22:34
  season was over and got one month out of it, and Just been
• 22:38
  binge watch. So I can do, I can't pay for all
• 22:40
  these streaming services right now.
• 22:42
  I know they're just everybody is a streaming, everyone is a
• 22:46
  subscription now, no matter what you do, it's insane, it's almost
• 22:51
  like Hondo, ohnaka is running everything everywhere for price,
• 22:56
  you can have this show, I will help you stream it.
• 23:01
  Did you know that Honda was involved with Chira Tim way?
• 23:06
  I didn't know, I did not know that until today was the first
• 23:10
  time I do it. I assume that was in a comic, I
• 23:13
  believe. So yeah, he fights cheer it to
• 23:18
  secure some items from Jeddah because you know, always looking
• 23:22
  to make a buck Yeah. Why not?
• 23:28
  Who's he working for when he did that?
• 23:31
  Well, he okay. So this is after the Galactic
• 23:34
  Empire, right? Hmm.
• 23:37
  The ohnaka gang fell apart disbanded because by The
• 23:41
  Imperials. So he continued on his own and
• 23:45
  he antagonized a clan, which then led to, I think this all
• 23:49
  ties into because he ends up meeting doc andar, which is a
• 23:52
  fixture in But to and galaxies Edge.
• 23:56
  He's the one that sells all the lightsabers and like, you know,
• 24:00
  pieces from across the Galaxy, aka some souvenirs antique
• 24:05
  dealer early. Yeah.
• 24:07
  An archaeologist or something like that.
• 24:09
  Yeah. So all of this is He was
• 24:14
  collecting statues, made of kyber, crystals to assist dock
• 24:18
  on door and and all of this stuff, of course, cheer.
• 24:20
  It's they're trying to defend the damn thing because we love
• 24:23
  cheer it in this house we do. He's one of the best.
• 24:27
  Oh my God. Who won that fight?
• 24:31
  Well it seems that doc andar convinced she wrote to let them
• 24:35
  leave with the statue in question.
• 24:38
  So really? Yeah, I want to read that comic.
• 24:41
  I've wanted to read all the like a rogue one adjacent story is
• 24:47
  because I love the Guardians of the wills.
• 24:48
  I love them. Yeah, he just shows up in all
• 24:52
  parts of Star Wars. Basically, the kind of, I mean,
• 24:55
  he was even in the whole thing with Kira that was One of those
• 25:00
  shorts, right? The like little shweta, the
• 25:04
  forces of Destiny. Thank you.
• 25:06
  Yes. Which I really love the art of
• 25:08
  but I still am not over the fact that Anakin look the way he did.
• 25:14
  Everybody looks so good. And then for some reason, Anakin
• 25:17
  look like that hair on him is just too much.
• 25:21
  What happened roller brush blown.
• 25:23
  It was, it was the Chewbacca Brazilian blowout, and he got a
• 25:28
  Dye job. Because it was a far blonder
• 25:31
  than I've ever seen. Anakin's hair.
• 25:33
  Yeah, it was just a mess anyway, but I do love forces of Destiny.
• 25:38
  I loved those little shorts and I love the art to it was they
• 25:42
  were funny because they started out as there was supposed to be
• 25:44
  just about the female characters, correct?
• 25:47
  Like I remember when they first announced it and then they kind
• 25:49
  of ditch that eventually and started incorporating all the
• 25:53
  characters into it. Yeah.
• 25:55
  Because I love the Luke 1. Luke and Yoda.
• 25:57
  I love it. Oh my God, I love that Mark.
• 25:59
  Hamill voiced. Luke again, I got the greatest.
• 26:04
  I liked that one in particular. Yeah, me too me too.
• 26:09
  And then Hondo shows up in one with Kira.
• 26:13
  They've got some with rebels in them and it's a it was a good
• 26:17
  series. So and I'm just looking through
• 26:21
  really quick. It says this one with Kira.
• 26:24
  It's on streets of ORD mantell right and that's where Hans says
• 26:32
  in Empire Strikes Back that he's gonna go pay off Jabba the Hutt
• 26:35
  because they ran into a bumpy Hunter on ORD mantell.
• 26:38
  Oh was it him? Would that be funny?
• 26:43
  Could it? But ig-88 that he was with?
• 26:46
  Maybe I don't know. I think it's It's it's because
• 26:52
  it's before that so it's like 13 BBY.
• 26:56
  Okay. So we'll dance before that.
• 26:59
  But yeah, cuz headcanon, but it's interesting as ORD mantell
• 27:03
  shows up a couple of times I gets referenced and it's in like
• 27:06
  an audio drama that they have and everything, but we've never
• 27:10
  seen it, I guess until this little tiny animated short.
• 27:14
  So I hope Star Wars is so vast. It really can just like, pick
• 27:20
  whatever you need. Out of this giant collection of
• 27:23
  information and just like, pick a planet.
• 27:25
  And now I need a Droid pick that and thank you could just cherry
• 27:29
  pick whatever you need, whenever you need it to tell a story.
• 27:32
  It's really true shit. I mean, maybe I'm in a very
• 27:35
  small camp of people that think this but I really wanted to see
• 27:40
  more Kira. Not just because I love Emilia
• 27:43
  Clarke in general, but she seems like a multi-faceted onion
• 27:47
  layered type of character that we need to know more and we just
• 27:50
  like God Nothing but wouldn't it be interesting if Hondo and
• 27:55
  hers? Escapades continued in some way.
• 27:58
  I think that would be funny as hell.
• 28:01
  I think it'd be awesome. Plus they set up the end of solo
• 28:06
  to imply. There was more coming.
• 28:08
  Yeah, and we got blue balled. Yeah, I mean it's not, it's not
• 28:15
  our fault, it's their father. They told a boring story but
• 28:18
  right, I will say I'd like Like Major Spoilers.
• 28:22
  So if you haven't seen solo, stop here for just a moment but
• 28:25
  like fucking mall at the end talking to Kira and then they
• 28:29
  never come back to that. That's kind of huge and we need
• 28:33
  a continuation. Yeah we just did a bunch of them
• 28:36
  all episodes talking about how what a fixture and and like how
• 28:41
  he just goes back from the beginning and how he transformed
• 28:45
  a character like Kenobi into something with more layers?
• 28:48
  And you know he's just he's an important.
• 28:51
  Ain't part of the Star Wars story in general and then like
• 28:54
  to be 0 to be cut off at the legs at the end of solo, Star
• 29:02
  Wars story and we don't get the rest.
• 29:05
  I guess it's kind of appropriate because hopefully that'll legs
• 29:09
  and sorry Mall. Yeah, I mean it was a huge set
• 29:17
  up that went nowhere. I know, I want to know more
• 29:20
  Well, now like theoretically we could write with like all the
• 29:25
  projects that filoni has going on and there's new animation,
• 29:28
  there's new live-action, there's the possibility that they will
• 29:31
  wrap up what they started with solo.
• 29:34
  They'll wrap it into something like, maybe even bad batch or
• 29:37
  and or somehow it'll come into play.
• 29:39
  You never know. This is totally not going to
• 29:42
  happen, but what if he were to show up and him and Ahsoka
• 29:45
  reunite on the Ahsoka? So show because bounty hunters
• 29:49
  and Smugglers have A lot of information.
• 29:52
  So yes you can have a belief interaction with him.
• 29:58
  I'm just thinking about what's Hondo.
• 30:00
  Yeah, well on, don't know, with Honda, he's so great because
• 30:04
  because the last time they saw each other wasn't that when he
• 30:06
  like kidnapped her, I was gonna sell her.
• 30:08
  Yes. A beautiful female Jedi can go
• 30:11
  for quite a price or whatever he says like so wrong, I know it's
• 30:16
  so wrong for Sokka, good God. Yeah.
• 30:21
  Anyway that would be, it would be a great great reunions, just
• 30:24
  a little, just a little tiny scene, like I need information.
• 30:27
  Oh, You are you survived if I buy you know stuff like that.
• 30:32
  Oh my God I love it. The up up up up Chopper Chopper
• 30:36
  moment. Oh my God.
• 30:37
  Yeah I guess it is Chopper. But Hondo has his own like
• 30:40
  version of Chopper. Yes he does dams and like waving
• 30:43
  his arms around it does. That's why he reminds me of
• 30:46
  Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean Caribbean because he's
• 30:50
  always waving his arms. You can't lie.
• 30:51
  Yeah, so good. So let's let's just for the fun
• 30:59
  just to end this episode. What are your three favorite
• 31:02
  things about Hondo? Oh my God.
• 31:06
  I mean, I like I said, I love his accent and his like charm
• 31:10
  and wit that all kind of like ties together for me.
• 31:13
  Yes, he's also fucking hilarious.
• 31:17
  Yes, incidents. We don't even know what that
• 31:21
  means. Yes, but we're pirates for God's
• 31:24
  sake. Like, you're supposed to know
• 31:27
  what that word means. It also I love that, he's like
• 31:34
  oblivious to fear in a sense, like I wish I could be more like
• 31:38
  him, he's just not intimidated by stuff and I think that is
• 31:41
  actually a really fun character because you can put them in all
• 31:45
  sorts of situations and keep it light, keep some levity there.
• 31:51
  And yeah, yeah, I love Honda, what about you?
• 31:54
  I love Hondo. I would have to say everything
• 31:57
  that you said. But I love his authenticity.
• 32:01
  He's just, he is who he is, he doesn't give a shit.
• 32:05
  He doesn't apologize. And you but you know exactly
• 32:09
  what you're getting when with your with him.
• 32:11
  When you're with you, I guess for some reason I can't speak on
• 32:14
  a podcast but he's just who he is and I kind of dig that.
• 32:21
  Yeah he's everything from good to slimeball you know?
• 32:25
  And that's just it. I love his A ship with Kenobi.
• 32:30
  It's probably my second favorite thing.
• 32:32
  He has a little bit of love for the Jedi, but a little bit of
• 32:35
  not love for the Jedi and I think it's reciprocated equally
• 32:39
  by Obi-Wan yourself and I just love his look, it's ridiculous.
• 32:48
  Yes, his coat. Yeah.
• 32:50
  I love it and they like armor but also beautiful fabric.
• 32:54
  Got like a helmet and some sunglasses you know he's like
• 32:57
  Bono. He wears the Sunglasses at all
• 33:00
  times because it's cool. Somebody probably told him in
• 33:04
  the past, you look good with glasses and he's like, you know
• 33:06
  what? And I'm never taking them off.
• 33:08
  Yeah. So get a live in these.
• 33:10
  He wears them. That's it.
• 33:13
  So those are my favorite things. He's a, he's such a delightful
• 33:19
  character. I'm so glad that they
• 33:21
  Incorporated him into Clone Wars.
• 33:23
  It was so needed. It was we needed the humor.
• 33:27
  Yes. And He made it to the end, he's
• 33:29
  one of the ones that made it to the end and we love him for it.
• 33:40
  So we told you our three favorite things about Hondo and
• 33:44
  we want to know what your three favorite things are.
• 33:47
