• 1:06
  I threw my hands up in the air. But it's super excited.
• 1:09

  That's why I narrated your activity with that.

• 1:45
  notes if you need that. So we'll see you.
• 1:48
  There, Yes indeed, on with the show.
• 1:51
  Yeah. On with the show on with the
• 1:54
  feature film of this episode, which is the Lego Star Wars.
• 2:05
  What is it? Putting the pieces together,
• 2:06
  piercing together? The Please help me with the name
• 2:09
  because I haven't known the name of this thing since we started
• 2:13
  this. I I'm going off memory so I'm
• 2:16
  probably going to get it wrong. It's rebuild the Galaxy.
• 2:18
  Rebuild the Galaxy. Is it pieces of the past?
• 2:22
  That's what they like. That and I'm blending the two
• 2:24
  and that's why I can't get this. I can't get this straight.
• 2:27
  But I did go back and watch like where all of this started
• 2:32
  because I had, I have never seen a Lego Star Wars movie ever.
• 2:36
  I've not played the games. I don't know, I have no
• 2:38
  background. So I did at least get myself
• 2:42
  familiarized with the characters.
• 2:45
  Me too, I watched the season 1 or whatever, just the rebuild
• 2:49
  Galaxy. Yeah, which I had definitely not
• 2:52
  watched. It was.
• 2:53
  Cute. It was amusing.
• 2:55
  I mean, I wasn't disinterested in it.
• 2:58
  Yeah, my big complaint is the Lego movies are so loud.
• 3:03
  They're just loud, really. Are loud.
• 3:06
  You're not wrong. Why, Yeah.
• 3:10
  I 'cause they're for kids. I'm sure.
• 3:12
  I'm sure they have yeah keep kids attention by being super
• 3:17
  loud. Like I after a while I get
• 3:20
  exhausted because it's. Yep, Yep.
• 3:23
  Screaming. There was a lot of that, you
• 3:26
  know, Me and screaming, yes, you know.
• 3:29
  What I mean both yeah, yes and yes, but.
• 3:34
  I found the whole thing digestible.
• 3:36
  I laughed out loud a few times, and I always do.
• 3:39
  Even if the Lego movies don't hold my attention for the
• 3:42
  entirety, I still have a moment where it makes me laugh out
• 3:46
  loud. There's something clever and
• 3:48
  there were some good jokes in in this that were kind of making
• 3:52
  fun of the the original contents.
• 3:56
  Yes, and I, I actually appreciated that because you
• 3:59
  know, where there's a kid, there should be a parent also watching
• 4:02
  it with them. I mean usually so.
• 4:05
  Yeah. I get that they're trying.
• 4:07
  I mean they threw every single character in this.
• 4:15
  I mean Max Rebo was in this. I have to say mall was one of my
• 4:25
  favorite moments. Me too.
• 4:27
  If I had to break down my favorite character in all of
• 4:31
  this, it was Mall in his snowy planet and his little fur jacket
• 4:37
  and his hood and his singing. And it was.
• 4:43
  It was absolutely Sam Whitworth. Yes, it was.
• 4:47
  And of course. The fact that Sam's having a
• 4:49
  fabulous time with this brought joy to my heart because it was
• 4:53
  lovely and I I appreciated Maul the most.
• 4:56
  And if we could take any piece of a reversed Galaxy that was in
• 5:02
  this, I would just take mall and keep mall as is, because he was
• 5:07
  a delight, an absolute. Delight, a sweet like weirdly
• 5:10
  gentle mall is is really enjoyable.
• 5:13
  But also that that planet he's on I want to be a part of.
• 5:19
  Was it? It was like, kind of like Cloud
• 5:22
  City, right? Snow City, which is like my
• 5:25
  dream city and their attire was great and everybody was having
• 5:31
  fun. Everyone's doing winter time fun
• 5:33
  things. There just seemed like a.
• 5:36
  Place Every day is a snow day. And I just feel like Maul should
• 5:40
  invite me over, but the things I've said about them, I'm
• 5:43
  probably not going to get an invite.
• 5:46
  That was the other universe, though, it's a different
• 5:49
  version. It's true, but the reason why we
• 5:53
  even wanted to watch this and do any of this is because of Sith
• 5:56
  Obi Wan, evil Obi Dark Obi Wan, whatever you want to call him.
• 6:01
  Yeah. And I'm curious what you thought
• 6:04
  because it it wasn't enough for me.
• 6:07
  It was. It was.
• 6:09
  Exactly. What the fuck was that?
• 6:11
  We got like 3 minutes of it and it was shared with Darth Revan.
• 6:17
  Who doesn't even speak? And there's.
• 6:19
  Like an amazingly talented voice actor standing right next to
• 6:23
  that character and he says 3 lines and that's it.
• 6:26
  It's my usual complaint with Obi Wan that there isn't enough.
• 6:30
  I figured that because I said because I was going to give it a
• 6:34
  chance. I'm like, well, maybe he comes
• 6:35
  back, maybe no. And I'm like, Lauren's not.
• 6:38
  This is not going to be enough. He just screams goodbye there as
• 6:43
  he gets sucked through into the darkness that at the end he
• 6:48
  never comes back really. It's.
• 6:50
  Bummed out I I thought there was going to be more me.
• 6:53
  Too 'cause this is a big moment. A lot of people, I mean, this is
• 6:56
  the reverse of somebody that is known for being good.
• 7:01
  So this is your one shot to play around with the fact that he's
• 7:04
  not good, he's dark. So play around with it.
• 7:08
  James Arnold Taylor is insanely talented.
• 7:11
  And I mean, maybe it was a schedule conflict.
• 7:13
  We don't really know the background, but you know.
• 7:18
  Let's be real, we know what it was.
• 7:21
  They just want Ahsoka as the the like surprise and everything.
• 7:25
  It's always Ahsoka suddenly appears.
• 7:30
  I'm sick of it. I mean I sound like an asshole.
• 7:34
  I love Ahsoka OK? Don't get me wrong, I would like
• 7:37
  Sith Obi Wan to be the surprise. Just once, please.
• 7:43
  But we had Ashley and that was a nice return to hear.
• 7:48
  Her Yeah, I I it was great that they had a lot of the Clone Wars
• 7:51
  actors. They had the guy Phil Amar, who
• 7:55
  does Kit Fisto and Kat Tabor was doing.
• 7:57
  Kat Fisto had more lines than Obi Wan Kenobi I.
• 8:02
  Know he did. He really did.
• 8:05
  I mean, what the fuck? I was.
• 8:09
  I was really bummed out. I mean, he's.
• 8:11
  Really hoping for more. He looked great though, I'm not
• 8:15
  going to lie, the darkness of it all was really like we could
• 8:20
  play around with this. I mean, you have played around
• 8:22
  with this, with the story. You love it, but you know, just
• 8:26
  for. Fun.
• 8:28
  The the way James did the lines was so good, and of course it's
• 8:33
  not enough. It's not enough, no.
• 8:37
  He could have done so much more and even just the way he's he's,
• 8:41
  I can't even remember the line now, but it's like his last line
• 8:44
  where he's talking to the Jackson, the rabbit.
• 8:47
  Yeah, yeah. It's the way he uses inflection
• 8:51
  in just three sentences. It gets so much across and I
• 8:55
  just, oh, what a wasted opportunity.
• 8:58
  I know it was a. I'm really disappointed because
• 9:01
  they put it in the preview. Let's rewind and remember that
• 9:04
  they put it in the pre like the trailer.
• 9:07
  I still call it a preview. I just aged myself.
• 9:12
  They put it in the trailer like it was gonna be this big, and I
• 9:15
  kind of went into it thinking it would be a big reveal, but it
• 9:19
  took a long time to get there and then that wasn't enough
• 9:23
  time, Yeah. And they, they even showed the
• 9:28
  entirety of it basically in that they did a snippet that I sent
• 9:33
  you and I thought that was like a teaser.
• 9:36
  It's not. It was the full scene.
• 9:38
  There's really nothing else to it beyond that.
• 9:41
  We're just never gonna get what we want.
• 9:44
  Not fully. I know as Obi Wan fans, we're
• 9:48
  always kind of pushed. Well, we were always behind
• 9:54
  Anakin, and now we're behind Anakin and Ahsoka.
• 9:56
  Always. Yeah, pretty much.
• 9:58
  In popularity, yeah. Pretty much.
• 10:01
  I mean, just look at the listings on AO3 or any fan
• 10:06
  fiction site. Yeah, you know, you think an Obi
• 10:09
  Wan fig is doing pretty good. Then you look up an Anakin fig
• 10:11
  and it's got like 6 million views.
• 10:14
  Really. Is that true?
• 10:15
  I don't look. Up it's true.
• 10:16
  Like the hits are way more on an Anakin Victoria than an Obi Wan
• 10:21
  fig. But when you're in the Obi Wan
• 10:23
  bubble you don't know any different.
• 10:25
  You just love whatever you get, but.
• 10:27
  But for what it's worth, we're going to have to start
• 10:30
  picketing. Perhaps going to the the Disney
• 10:37
  gates with signs first with Obi Wan.
• 10:39
  Yeah. Or not even sit just.
• 10:41
  Yeah, Obi Wan. That's it.
• 10:43
  I was going to leave it at Obi Wan, but if you want to get
• 10:45
  specific, I can have a light poster.
• 10:48
  You can have a dark poster and be like look at us.
• 10:51
  Hey, our pickets are themed, you know, just, I don't know.
• 10:56
  I guess I, I wanted to ask you because we've talked about Dark
• 11:01
  Obi Wan before, but what do you think the draw is?
• 11:06
  Why is there a subset of fans who are drawn to that idea, even
• 11:12
  though, you know, even James has said it makes them
• 11:15
  uncomfortable? It's so weird.
• 11:16
  It would never really happen. And I think most people who like
• 11:20
  Seth Obiwan agree with that, but they still find it interesting.
• 11:25
  What do you think is the tie in? Like why are people so
• 11:28
  fascinated with the idea? That is a good question.
• 11:32
  I it could be a multitude of things.
• 11:35
  I know for me, if I was just speaking for me, it's like I
• 11:40
  want to see the unknown. I'm curious about it.
• 11:45
  However, we have seen Dark Anakin on Mortis.
• 11:50
  We have seen Dark Ahsoka on Mortis.
• 11:53
  It's visually and audibly interesting to see a character
• 11:57
  who's good kind of go against their character just to see
• 12:00
  because it's, it's not typical. It's not what we're used to.
• 12:04
  And it's kind of neat to see. I mean, why do people like
• 12:08
  Halloween? You know, it's the opposite of
• 12:11
  what we see every day, right? So it's like, I mean, depending
• 12:15
  on what type of Halloween you like, if you like it at all.
• 12:19
  But usually the dark scary stuff is somewhat intriguing 'cause we
• 12:24
  don't see it and there's a little bit of weirdness to it
• 12:26
  that that piques a little curiosity.
• 12:28
  That's that's my explanation. Yeah, I think you're right.
• 12:33
  We're just not used to it. And it's, I'm curious, what
• 12:36
  would he be like? Yes, it's wrong.
• 12:39
  It's damn wrong. He's too good.
• 12:42
  It would never ever happen. But can we see it anyway?
• 12:46
  Just so we can like solidify that, you know?
• 12:49
  Yeah, I know, right? Just what about you?
• 12:52
  I guess part of it is that he's so perfect, and I don't mean in
• 12:58
  like he's never done anything wrong in his life, but he's such
• 13:02
  a a really sincerely good Jedi that he never even seems
• 13:08
  tempted. And it makes me wonder what
• 13:11
  would tempt a person like. That well, now remember when
• 13:15
  he's fighting Maul in the crates and Asajj is there, Asajj
• 13:19
  Ventress is there and Savage oppressed and he kind of loses
• 13:23
  his shit just a little and he gets sloppy.
• 13:26
  Yeah. OK, if that's all we get,
• 13:29
  imagine if you went full balls to the wall like lost.
• 13:33
  Control. The only thing that happens to
• 13:35
  him is that he gets sloppy fighting.
• 13:39
  That's the darkest he gets. I don't know, I'd like to see
• 13:47
  him lose control. That's the thing I kind of like
• 13:50
  about the character and I've written this into my fix and
• 13:53
  I've seen other people talk about this as well, that Obi Wan
• 13:58
  show signs of being a restrained fencer like sword fighter, which
• 14:04
  implies he's kind of always holding himself back because
• 14:08
  he's flourishing his blade a lot.
• 14:10
  That's what I'm I'm not a fencer, I don't know anything
• 14:13
  about it, but this is what I've heard.
• 14:14
  And that makes me wonder what would a person like that be like
• 14:20
  when they are no longer repressing the the anger part of
• 14:24
  himself? Granted, we've seen that it it
• 14:26
  seems to look like he gets sloppy and makes mistakes.
• 14:29
  Cause we've done an episode all about how he and Maul, every
• 14:32
  time they come to blows, Obi Wan kind of messes up until he
• 14:37
  decides to not fight at all. And that's when he's successful.
• 14:44
  So it's, I don't know. I just love the idea of what
• 14:49
  would it look like, and that's why I felt like Mortis was
• 14:52
  really the only time that we could ever see what that would
• 14:56
  look like. Speaking of which, we brought up
• 14:59
  Mall. They also missed an opportunity
• 15:02
  which I thought would actually happen.
• 15:05
  Is happy Mall meets up with Sith Obi Wan or like Dark Obi in this
• 15:11
  Lego movie and it doesn't happen?
• 15:13
  I know I thought it would be, so it would.
• 15:16
  It's such an opportunity for a joke.
• 15:18
  Right. It could have been.
• 15:21
  There could have been so many good jokes from that and they
• 15:24
  didn't do it. I know I was.
• 15:27
  Kind of waiting for it though because I'm like oh wait till
• 15:30
  dark. Obi Wan sees happy mall.
• 15:34
  Right, I know. I know, I'm just mad that they
• 15:38
  didn't do it. Even happy Vader and dark Kobe 1
• 15:44
  anything. Anything that could have.
• 15:50
  Oh, that is so many opportunities missed.
• 15:54
  I wanted to ask you about the Skywalker family that they had
• 15:58
  in there and how they kept saying, oh, they're messy, oh,
• 16:03
  they're annoying, oh, they're this to that.
• 16:05
  Oh, there go the Skywalkers again, being messy.
• 16:08
  Was that Disney shading them? I know they're stating the
• 16:15
  obvious because we say it all the time.
• 16:17
  The Skywalker's a messy, but we love them, right?
• 16:20
  Yeah. But were they subliminally like
• 16:23
  poking fun at our main characters?
• 16:27
  I kind of wondered that myself. Did you?
• 16:29
  Honestly, I did. I had the same question in my
• 16:31
  mind. Because we're allowed to.
• 16:35
  We're fans. Right.
• 16:38
  That's a good point. Yes, true.
• 16:40
  So like, you know, when people are joking that Luke is whiny,
• 16:45
  which I know you and I kind of hate that description, but
• 16:49
  because he wants to go to Tashi's station, Yeah, OK, we're
• 16:53
  we're allowed to make fun of that.
• 16:54
  But because Disney actually killed them all off and then
• 16:59
  they come back and and kind of poke fun at them.
• 17:02
  I don't like that. Yeah.
• 17:04
  He was rubbing me the wrong way a little bit and I was getting
• 17:07
  kind of like kind of frustrated with the constant jokes of them
• 17:11
  being kind of a pain in the ass, yeah.
• 17:15
  Once or twice is stating the obvious.
• 17:17
  Yes, because we know they are a messy family.
• 17:20
  We're all here. That's what makes it great.
• 17:23
  However, too many of the jokes makes me wonder.
• 17:28
  Like what are you trying to prove?
• 17:31
  Yeah. What are you trying to sell here
• 17:33
  and saying stuff that like this? Didn't they make some reference
• 17:36
  that like I think the bad guy said something about how the
• 17:41
  Skywalkers were like I can't remember if he said they needed
• 17:45
  to be over or just they were just too much whatever it was.
• 17:50
  Yeah. It's like, we get it, Disney.
• 17:52
  We got it. OK, thanks.
• 17:54
  When you did a sequel trilogy and killed all of the characters
• 17:57
  off? Yeah, we got it then.
• 18:00
  Yeah, I didn't like it. I didn't like that part.
• 18:03
  I didn't either. Overall the show was quite
• 18:05
  enjoyable, I liked. Yes.
• 18:07
  The two brothers or whatever, I mean, whatever.
• 18:12
  Yeah, I liked the the twist at the end too, when one brother
• 18:18
  said it's OK, let me go thinking he was sacrificing himself and
• 18:22
  instead the brother, you know, turns against them quote UN
• 18:25
  quote. Spoiler spoiler He does it not
• 18:29
  to be bad, but to ultimately to win.
• 18:33
  I thought that was a great twist.
• 18:34
  That was fun and clever and I really thought I cannot remember
• 18:40
  the bad guy's name. Oh, I can't.
• 18:43
  I keep thinking, yeah, I keep thinking, Severus, I'm like,
• 18:47
  that's from Harry. Potter, I I almost said
• 18:50
  salacious, but that's we had a we had a happy salacious in in
• 18:55
  this. Or did we?
• 18:57
  Did we? Yeah.
• 18:58
  He he was in it, but he got zapped by something, I can't
• 19:02
  remember what it was it. It had to do with the like
• 19:04
  severance. What's the name?
• 19:09
  I gotta look it up, I guess it's gonna drive me nuts.
• 19:12
  I did like the Droid, of course. And did you see little Lego
• 19:16
  General Grievous? Yes, there were so many of them.
• 19:21
  Can I just have a Lego Grievous like to hang out on my desk at
• 19:26
  work because, you know, work Leanne and.
• 19:30
  Man, they should sell these. I don't know.
• 19:34
  Wait, did I say there were a lot of them?
• 19:35
  My brain was thinking the the Admiral.
• 19:38
  Ackbar No, I don't know. Grievance.
• 19:40
  Yes, he was great. Yes, that was delightful
• 19:44
  Solitus. That's Solitus, yes, Yes.
• 19:48
  Solitus, My God. OK.
• 19:51
  He was voiced by Dan Stevens, who is a really good actor.
• 19:56
  He's from Downton Abbey. He was the beast in the live
• 19:59
  action Beauty and the Beast. Oh, oh really?
• 20:02
  I didn't watch any of those, so yeah.
• 20:05
  But I did like his voice. It was very convincing.
• 20:08
  He was great. He's got a great voice.
• 20:10
  Yeah. And then they did some.
• 20:12
  It sounded like they'd added some effects to it, which made
• 20:15
  it really cool. You know what?
• 20:16
  I really hated? The fake Cassie and Andor.
• 20:20
  EW, that was bad. That was.
• 20:22
  So bad I've heard friends of mine do better.
• 20:27
  Diego Luna impressions that that was truly bad.
• 20:31
  Yeah, I said. Huh.
• 20:32
  Who? I think I could do it better.
• 20:38
  Let's do it right now. No, no.
• 20:44
  I thought the woman who voiced Ray sounded just like Daisy
• 20:47
  Ridley, to the point where I had to look it up.
• 20:50
  Yeah, she was pretty good. Like Daisy Ridley has a very
• 20:52
  deep voice, which I love. I actually love Daisy Ridley's
• 20:57
  voice. Like her, she has like a smooth
• 21:01
  dulcet tone. The dulcets of it all I don't
• 21:07
  know. I don't even know what a dulcet
• 21:09
  tone is. What is that?
• 21:11
  I think dulcet means sweet. OK, so no, I mean I guess she is
• 21:15
  sweet, but she has a very like low vibration voice and I like
• 21:19
  that I could listen to her. So anyway, the the voice actress
• 21:22
  for Darth Ray sounded very much like Daisy in that respect.
• 21:29
  So. Yes, and the I didn't get at
• 21:33
  first that that was Dark Rose Tico, and that was actually
• 21:36
  voiced by Kelly Baritria. Right.
• 21:38
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. And.
• 21:41
  Then Darth Gin Erso, who didn't speak.
• 21:46
  No, because they're not gonna give her credit in anything
• 21:49
  ever. Like whatever.
• 21:52
  Fucking really guys? We have to rewrite.
• 21:55
  Jen is like a secondary character.
• 21:57
  She was the main fucking character.
• 21:59
  She had more lines than Rose. What is happening?
• 22:06
  I don't know that I get. I'm assuming that they're that
• 22:10
  they're assuming the bulk of the people watching these movies are
• 22:14
  from the sequel. Yes.
• 22:18
  The the group that came up with the sequel trilogy so.
• 22:22
  Yeah, I think so. They do always kind of have that
• 22:25
  vibe. I was really surprised you could
• 22:29
  see Ben Solo like in the background also.
• 22:32
  Yeah, that's. True.
• 22:35
  That's true, yes. Also never speaking and having
• 22:38
  any lines at all and just yeah, weird.
• 22:41
  Yeah, I did love Mark Hamill. He just never disappoints.
• 22:46
  It's almost like he's poking fun at himself and he knows it.
• 22:49
  He just doesn't give a fuck and I love that.
• 22:51
  Yes, I know he likes, he likes kind of making light of it
• 22:55
  because everyone takes it so seriously.
• 22:57
  Right. And he's a good example of us,
• 23:01
  the fandom, the fandom at large. I love that he's got chains and
• 23:07
  like wearing flip flops. Right.
• 23:10
  Yeah. Yes, he's kind of a hippie.
• 23:14
  I love that though, because I could really actually see that
• 23:19
  working out. Oh, and The Brandelorian.
• 23:25
  Oh, the Lando. What did I say, Brett?
• 23:28
  What a Marlon Brando. Matt Landelorian.
• 23:31
  Jesus, I'm getting everything screwed up.
• 23:33
  You know what I meant. That shit was great.
• 23:37
  The Brandel. Yeah, that's that just.
• 23:39
  Picturing it as Marlon Brando now.
• 23:42
  Oh God. I mean, I'm sorry.
• 23:47
  Oh, it's so good. Apocalypse Now, Brando.
• 23:50
  Or more like Godfather. I was thinking godfather because
• 23:54
  me Italian but. Italian.
• 23:56
  Yeah, a very serious Mandalorian, which would be
• 24:00
  quite on par, but the Landolorian was fabulous.
• 24:05
  I love that, really did. Yeah, he had some good one
• 24:08
  liners interjected in there. I was really, honestly, I was
• 24:13
  surprised he agreed to do it. I thought Billy Dee Williams had
• 24:16
  had enough. I mean, if you're voicing stuff,
• 24:19
  you're just sitting there. So it's, I mean, or possibly
• 24:23
  standing there. I don't want to, I don't want to
• 24:24
  say, but he was probably sitting because it doesn't have like a
• 24:27
  bad hip or something. Something like that, Yeah.
• 24:30
  Mm. Hmm.
• 24:31
  So I could see him being like, yeah, why not?
• 24:33
  Mark's gonna be there. I'll go, you know.
• 24:36
  I've heard they can do it over the phone.
• 24:37
  David Tennant did all his lines over the phone from England.
• 24:42
  You don't even have to go anywhere anymore.
• 24:45
  That's nice. Even more reason to show up,
• 24:51
  Guess. Make it easy.
• 24:53
  For him, not Diego Luna I guess, but.
• 24:56
  Maybe they couldn't afford him. I like that they couldn't afford
• 25:00
  Mark Hamill but not Diego. Listen, he and his show have
• 25:05
  Emmys now so. Yeah, I thought he wasn't
• 25:09
  nominated for an Emmy. I thought that was like, oh, I.
• 25:11
  Just meant he and the show he and his show his.
• 25:15
  Oh yeah, his. Series is a is a league above if
• 25:20
  you will. Yeah, it went from being the
• 25:24
  underdog to being everybody's snabby favorites.
• 25:28
  I'm really glad they did recognize, on a completely
• 25:30
  separate note, 'cause I don't think we've ever talked about
• 25:32
  it, but I'm really glad that they were recognized for a lot
• 25:35
  of the stuff that we. Oh yeah.
• 25:39
  Praised on our. You're talking about Andor?
• 25:41
  For the Andor, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
• 25:44
  It was all well deserved. It was such a above and beyond
• 25:49
  most other shows that I've seen lately.
• 25:51
  Right production was chef's. Kids still bitter?
• 25:56
  I understand, that's why I kept it at just the parts that we
• 26:00
  praised in our in our episode recaps a lot I'm.
• 26:04
  Just starting to recover now. I'm so sorry, I'm sorry.
• 26:08
  So anyway, back to Lego toys. Do you actually like putting
• 26:14
  together Legos? I did as a kid.
• 26:19
  I have a few Lego sets, actually.
• 26:21
  I have a whole tin of Legos that my mom gave me that were from
• 26:24
  when I was a kid that I was planning to put together.
• 26:26
  And I just never did it. So yeah, I, I did one when a
• 26:33
  cousin sent me the more recent version of the X Wing, like a
• 26:38
  little mini from the sequels. And I did put that together and
• 26:43
  that was soothing, really simple.
• 26:46
  Yeah, it was not one of those $1000 things that has a
• 26:51
  bazillion pieces. It was very simple.
• 26:54
  My sister gave me a Viper Droid that I need to put together and
• 26:59
  that I've always kind of thought, well, I had planned to
• 27:03
  drink a bottle of wine and do that, but I don't drink anymore,
• 27:06
  so I don't know what I'm going to drink with it now.
• 27:10
  Kombucha. Hey, have a bottle of kombucha
• 27:14
  and put together your legos? Why not That's.
• 27:18
  Funny, do you like Legos? Did you have them growing up?
• 27:21
  Oh, I definitely had them growing up and I don't remember
• 27:24
  liking them then and I don't like them now.
• 27:26
  I don't like putting things together.
• 27:28
  IKEA, furniture, hardware, Legos, I hate it.
• 27:35
  I don't have the patience loses. My interest pretty quick.
• 27:37
  Yeah, I was going to say it's kind of like colouring.
• 27:41
  I I can do it but. I can see why people enjoy it
• 27:44
  and I'm not going to yuck their Yum it.
• 27:46
  I just I have a booklet in front of me with instructions I'm out.
• 27:52
  Like you know what I mean? You could try to put it together
• 27:57
  without the booklet, but that's. Probably what I would do because
• 28:00
  that's what I do with the furniture.
• 28:03
  That's what I did as a kid. I didn't even we they all came
• 28:06
  with booklets, but we kind of threw all our Legos into one
• 28:09
  bin. So yeah, I didn't have booklets,
• 28:12
  but we did have some fucking cool Legos.
• 28:15
  Like we had Robin Hood's hideout tree that.
• 28:20
  Opened up, those are. Cool, so cool.
• 28:23
  We had some sort of castle with Knights and horses that even had
• 28:29
  like the that's fun, the blanket, the coat of arms, you
• 28:32
  know, that goes on the horse. That was really cool.
• 28:35
  I really like that. We had some pirate stuff but.
• 28:39
  Yeah. Then people gave me quote UN
• 28:42
  quote girl legos and they're bigger and pink and purple.
• 28:49
  Like we need them to be bigger because our fingers aren't
• 28:51
  dexterous enough to do the small legos because we got girl
• 28:55
  fingers. My God.
• 29:00
  Well. Actually some of those Legos
• 29:02
  were in that in this show I noticed.
• 29:06
  That I did see Ahsoka and her team were.
• 29:10
  The big they were. Well, they were the big blacks.
• 29:13
  But then there was a moment when they first showed Sig in
• 29:17
  whatever that other world was called, I can't remember.
• 29:22
  There were big purple and pink legos and I was like hmm is that
• 29:26
  a joke or is that like a self referential that they made girl
• 29:29
  legos for a while? And God, I didn't even notice
• 29:32
  that because I didn't know that that was a thing.
• 29:35
  Oh, I don't don't. Know if it was yeah, I'm not
• 29:37
  sure if it was that or if it was them actually acknowledging it
• 29:41
  or if it was just like, hey, those look like the Legos that
• 29:43
  someone gave me as a. Kid but gendered toys.
• 29:46
  Can we like move on from that past thinking?
• 29:50
  I don't see I'm not a fan. I'll say this though, I've seen
• 29:54
  some recent legos non Star Wars related that are like bamboo
• 29:58
  plants and flowers. Oh yeah, I've seen those too.
• 30:02
  And then you just put them on your desk.
• 30:04
  I yeah, I could get down with that because it's a plant, but
• 30:08
  then it's also a toy plant. And why the hell do I want that
• 30:13
  on my desk? This my practical side comes out
• 30:17
  and it's like, that's just going to collect dust.
• 30:19
  No, and I I get it because a Lego lover probably would love
• 30:25
  to have a collection of plant Legos or Lego plants, whatever
• 30:29
  the proper, but not me and definitely not Star Wars because
• 30:33
  those things like we've done episodes on the blueprints of
• 30:38
  several ships and we're going to do more episodes like that in
• 30:41
  the future. Now build it.
• 30:43
  No thanks. That would be hard.
• 30:48
  He's not an engineer. You're a different kind of
• 30:50
  scientist. I'm a different type of
• 30:51
  scientist. Yeah, yeah.
• 30:55
  I I don't know. Maybe someday we'll put together
• 30:59
  a Star Wars Lego like me and you.
• 31:01
  We should do it. That would be fun, just a little
• 31:04
  one. Definitely have to put the show
• 31:06
  on or something in the background.
• 31:07
  Keep our minds engaged. Yep.
• 31:10
  I I wonder if they've ever shown in the Lego movies someone
• 31:14
  stepping on a Lego with bare feet.
• 31:16
  They had. To that is just fucking
• 31:19
  excruciating. It's the world's worst pain.
• 31:22
  That and paper cuts. Yep.
• 31:24
  Yes, yes, yeah. It's equivalent to stepping on a
• 31:29
  like a nail with bare feet. So painful.
• 31:32
  And it's really bad. You know, now they have tools so
• 31:37
  that you can pop 2 legos apart that are too tightly like
• 31:40
  squeezed together. I remember.
• 31:41
  Like breaking. My fingernails as a kid, having
• 31:44
  to do that. Kids have it so easy.
• 31:50
  And in our next episode on here on Boomer Talk.
• 31:57
  And get off my lawn. No, but for real, get off my
• 32:01
  lawn. Yeah, seriously.
• 32:07
  OK, well, not enough dark Obi Wan for me.
• 32:09
  How about you? Yeah, always not enough, Not
• 32:14
  enough. James, what's going on?
• 32:15
  We need to get you your own show 'cause there's just not enough
• 32:19
  Obi Wan in animation. I know we got Clone Wars and
• 32:23
  it's still not enough. James, you were brilliant
• 32:25
  though. I mean, it only takes a handful
• 32:27
  of lines and you steal the show. Maybe that's why.
• 32:30
  Maybe that's why they don't want Obi Wan to get on the show every
• 32:33
  damn time. Too bad.
• 32:35
  Trying to redirect attention to the coolest Jedi in the Galaxy.
• 32:41
  Yep, even Sig said Obi Wan. Big fan.
• 32:44
  I was like, yeah, us too. Yeah, that's how we all feel
• 32:48
  right now. And then they just moved out.
• 32:52
  Maybe next time. Maybe next time.
• 33:00
  All righty friends, join us back Next time we are going to do
• 33:03
  something that we have been looking forward to for a long
• 33:06
  time. We're going to talk about
• 33:08
  ridiculous names in Star Wars because there are many ones that
• 33:13
  we never pronounced correctly. Some that we talk about all the
• 33:19
  time, some that are a little more obscure.
• 33:21
  We're going to try and cover as many as we can, right?
• 33:26
  Yes, it's going to be great. Join us back for that.
• 33:30
  We all have one, right? There's everybody's got one that
• 33:33
  they're reading in a book or something and they're just like,
• 33:36
  what is that name? It's all consonants.
• 33:43
  I. Love it, so join us back next
• 33:46
  time for that. Thank you so much for joining us
