  Speaker 1: The Force will be with you always.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Hello and welcome back to another episode of Star Wars Alliance.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Of course, I'm your host, Clay, and with me in
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: the year twenty twenty five is of course, Katie, Katie,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: how you doing.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: I'm good. My baby slept through the night. I had
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: two straight nights of good sleep, like we are golden.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: That's something that I have to ask you because this is,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: of course your first New Year with a baby. So
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: she didn't wake up from any of the fireworks, no, nothing.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: So she had issues going to sleep with the fireworks okay,
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: but once she got to sleep, she was out. Like
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: after Skeleton Crew. I told Matt, I was like, we
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: were looking at the monitor and I was like, I'm
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: gonna have to go in and see if she's breathing,
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: because she literally hadn't moved a bit. And as soon
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: as I get up, she coughs. Because we're still dealing
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: with like post RSV stuff and everything, so she coughs,
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: and I'm like, oh, okay, I don't have to go
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: with there.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: No, so with us we uh. There actually wasn't a
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: whole lot of fireworks until after she was already asleep,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: which I was like, God dang it. There's a huge
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: coliseum literally right across the street from us, and in
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: their parking lot they shoot off a ton of fireworks
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: on New Year's and on Fourth of July.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Oh no, we live in a neighborhood of America.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Fuck yeah, so yeah, yeah, I used to be in
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: one of those neighborhoods.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: Good to the Southern culture.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Her her window is facing the Colisseum though. Yeah, so
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh God, like this is gonna be horrible,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: But thankfully she didn't wake up. Our biggest thing was Flynn.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Flynn was freaking the hell out. So what I ended
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: up doing was I just grabbed one of our throw blankets,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I threw it on top of them, and then I
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: just hugged him for like a full like thirty minutes,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: so that way all the weight could just be on
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: him and he could just like settle down. So that
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: helped him a bit. And then I think.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: For some reason, Antilia's and Benny have never had issues
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: with thunderstorms, fireworks really nothing, like never had an issue.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Like I and my dogs are from the same breeder
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: that my mom's dogs are from, and like she has
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: to get sedatives from her vet for the dogs back
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: because will just flip out, and like they're at the
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: age because like I think one of them, one of
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: them is eleven years old and the other is ten
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: years old, So they're at the age where if you
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: give them a senative, they're basically going to pee everywhere.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: But if they're scared, they're also going to pee everywhere.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: So yikes. Yeah, for us, Flynn, he he does not
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: do great with any type of sound, and I unfortunately
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: think it's just due to the amount of anxiety that
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: he has. Yeah, and we just need to see a
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: vet about that. It's it's crazy, but uh, we are
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: going to be talking about very small news segments that
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: we have, but also our biggest thing is of course
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Skeleton Crew episodees five and six. Of course five happened
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: during Christmas and we weren't gonna go live or record
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: on Christmas, so we're gonna be talking about that episode,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: which was a very fun episode by the way. We'll
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: talk about that brief small thoughts on that, and then
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: of course this week's episode happening on New Year's Eve,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: which is episode six. So let's go ahead and talk
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: about a news topic that we actually have a source
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: from because our second the second topic doesn't really have
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: a source, but we will talk about it very briefly.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: This conversation piece is Justina Ireland confirms that Way Seeker
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: and a Valiant Vow will be her final Star Wars books. So,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: and what we're reading it from says a body of
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: works she is very proud of. Now her actual uh.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: A body of work to be very proud of.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, so her her actual I think this
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: is from threads. Looking at the screenshot, I'm not entirely
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: sure or if it's from like Reddit or something. The
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: actual the actual post reads two Star Wars books out
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: on May six, twenty twenty five, week Seeker and a
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Valiant Vow. They are also my last Star Wars books.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: And for this es she also writes not counting a
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: mace when new graphic novel. Now that's what everybody, of
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: course is talking about. I latched onto the very last thing,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: and she wrote the end of a very exhausting era. Now, Katie,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: I wrote that doesn't sound very positive, Like now, I
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: understand that, like writing and any career can be exhausting, right,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: but why put this out at the very end of
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: that announcement?
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: I think it's mainly because, like obviously, with the new
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: year and everything, people are kind of like, here's what
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: you can expect. Like all the writers that I follow
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: on substack have kind of done something very similar, like Okay,
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: here's what's coming out. And I find it funny that
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: she still doesn't know the release date for her Mace
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: Winden graphic novel first of all, like dark Horse, please
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: get your stuff together in twenty twenty five, Like she's
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: clearly already written it, like it, Why is it not
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: ready for publication? Or we don't know a real state?
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't find the end of a
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: very exhausting era thing concerning because I mean, she's been
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: swamped with Star Wars stuff, and like, I don't blame
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: writers for wanting to go out and do their own thing.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: I think that's why we saw less of Charles Soul
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: for Phase three, because he had so many personal projects
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: eight tho Genies and then his novel that he wrote,
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: The Endless Vessel. So I think Charles Soul was able
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: to put a limit on it, but maybe Justina, as
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: a woman of color, was not able to kind of
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: draw the same boundaries. I also always say never, say never.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: She may just be looking for a break and just
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: wanting to do her own thing. There's always possibilities to
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: come back too, But I mean, I always go back
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: to what Tom has said, they always have problems finding
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: authors to write for Star Wars because they don't want
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: to deal with fan backlash.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: So and that was one of the things that I
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: wanted to bring up. I saw as hey, that's not
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: very positive and not saying that she is not proud
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: of her what she's written, but like you said, she
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: could be very proud of her work and then have
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: all of these toxic individuals jumping into her dms saying
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: out in public like how much they don't like her work.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: That can be the exhausting parts. And I think with
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: her being such a large vocal minority in the UH,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: I guess like, honestly it is the majority of Star
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Wars authors these days, which is a good thing, but
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: in the High Republic, you know very much, making lgbtt
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: LGBTQ plus a very known thing throughout these books, and
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: I think that could be the exhausting thing is that
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: she has been working so hard to be very inclusive
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: and all she's gotten in you know, a reaction to
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: that is backlash. Now, I'll be completely honest. In the
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: circles of Twitter that I was in for Star Wars
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: for the New year, I've you know, I said this
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: last show for the new year, I think I'm gonna
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: be posting more on Threads and on Blue Sky for
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: more work related comic book and and all of that stuff.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: But I'm hoping to find Star Wars circles within Threads.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: And when I was on Twitter all the toxicity wasn't
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: necessarily with the novels, though with the high republic stuff
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: it was probably very in my circles, like I said,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: very minor, but in you know your circles, which is
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: more of the book community and Star Wars community, it
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: may have been a little bit louder.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: I don't. I think all of her novels have been
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: really well received, but going back to she's a woman
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: of color, like conventions may have been more angsty. To
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: put it nicely, obviously, none of us can really guarantee
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: her experience, but like and also, I've tended to block
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: people who just want to be toxic or negative for
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: the publicity reasons, so I can't say that I would
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: have seen anything. But like a lot of people are
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: looking forward to her Mace Windy graphic novel because they
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: think she can treat the character right. So I think
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of stuff at play. And I mean,
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: I know the High Republic stuff. They've been working on
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: the High Republic since twenty eighteen, so that's almost like
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: by the end of this in July, that will have
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: been seven years. And she's been writing for Star Wars
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: since twenty eighteen. She had Lando's Luck, a Spark of
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: the Resistance, and then all her High Republic stuff in
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: Santa Starros and everything, so she's got a lot on
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: our plate. And like her non Star Wars stuff like
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: dread Nation was very well received and was up for
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: several awards, So like, I know, people are looking forward
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: to her getting back to original fiction and everything.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: I read Rested in the Root. It was very good, So.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: I well that was That's one thing that I'm wanting
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: to do for for the new year, is I'm wanting
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: to read. Of course, we're we're gonna read anything and
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: everything Star Wars that comes into uh our direction, but
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: I do want to read more non Star Wars books.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: I didn't get a whole lot on my plate for
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. I would really love to do that
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: for twenty twenty five. But yeah, I I hope Justina
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: the best, and I hope that she does, you know,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: uh end up coming back because we really enjoyed her
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: stories within the Star Wars universe. So our next topic,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: like I said, does not have a very creditor for
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: this time because you had even said that some people
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: were saying that this is old news. I feel like
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: we have talked about this before.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: Oh I said it with the Snyder stuff.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. So with with this one,
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: we couldn't necessarily find an exact quote, but it is
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: said that Dave filoni Is still occasionally has occasional calls
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: with George Lucas uh for advice and has an open
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: door policy if George Lucas ever wants to make another project.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: How do you feel about this? Well, here's here's my
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: first question. Do you think George Lucas will ever make
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: another Star Wars project?
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: No, there's a fucking reason.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Yes, no one. I think this is uh like, it's
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: a very silly thing for felony to put out there
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: in the world because I think in the optics of
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: corporate America and the entertainment industry and the kinds of
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: backlash that Star Wars has gotten from very toxic individuals
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: that they still for some reason adhere to and want
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: to get their money from, say things like this to
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: keep them on board. Yep, one hundred percent, that's what
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: it is. And these people are like, I still have
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: hope George Lucas keep coming whenever he wants. I think
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: it's gonna happen. I think it's gonna happen. And then
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: they still keep on track with that Star Wars content. Guys,
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: we can let those people go.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: All right, y'all, we are gonna hit our first ad
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: break and we will be right back in three two one.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: They are they they will not hurt your wallet. I
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: promise you, Disney, I promise you Star Wars.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: And it's wild that coming back to this, because the
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: funniest thing would be that George Lucas would make a
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: Star Wars movie. And some people said this in the
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: comments and the quotes on this tweet and everything, but
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: the funniest thing would be George Lucas wouldn't make a
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: Star Wars film and everybody would hate it. Yes, the
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: idea of the Star Wars Universe is the Expanded Universe.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: And despite my love for the Expanded Universe, George Lucas
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: hated it. He did like.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: He called it fan fiction. People, you need to understand this,
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: He like, it's so annoying.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: Their biggest their biggest thing is latching on to Luke
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: Skywalker as the hero of their childhood. And that's what
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: the Expanded Universe did. And don't get me wrong, I
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: loved having Luke and his family be the heroes of
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: the Expanded Universe and getting those Oh the Skywalker family
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: saved the day stories I did. They still exists in
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: the Expanded Universe, and now that I'm an adult, I realized, Hey,
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: it's more important for a family to grow and understand
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: itself in its legacy and make modifications to change that.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: That is the hero's journey. The journey is not consistently
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: being a hero.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Yes, you are going one. H that's like it's it's
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: a it's a curse and a gift for people like
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: me and you, Katie, because I know you do it too.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Don't say that you don't. But when you watch a
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: film or a TV show and there is a clear
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: story set up to how this movie's gonna go. You're
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: already your your gears are already turning, and like, what's
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: the conflict gonna be? What's the challenge for this character
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: gonna be? Because if there's not a challenge, if there's
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: not a conflict, then it's pointless. There is nothing for
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: that character to learn. And then we as individuals are
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: disappointed because it becomes a hey, turn off your brain,
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: learn nothing type of movie type of story. And I
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: movies and.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: Is and sometimes those movies are in a good spot
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: because like Matt and I have been sleep deprived, so
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: that's why Mara's sleeping through the night last night was fantastic.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: But like we went to watch Jour Number two, the
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: new Clint Eastwood movie that's on Max.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Yes, Yes, yes, and it's.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: Like basically, like this guy figures out that he killed
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: the person that is, like he's on the jury for
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: to like and stuff, and so you have to figure
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: out like all along did he actually do it? What
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: was the reason and everything? And like she woke up
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: and Matt and I were both like, this isn't happening
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: and we woke up the next morning, We're like, Okay,
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: are we too tired for this movie? Like do we
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: need something that we don't have to watch but still
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: want to watch? Yeah, And like we haven't started Squid
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: Game because we're going to watch the sub for the
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: and with a baby, it's almost impossible to pay attention
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: to subtitles. Yeah, so's understanding they're necessary. And like I
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: liked them as a kid because they were predictable. It
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: was always Okay, what's happening, what's the conflict? But then
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: Luke Skywalker or a Lea or Hinde is coming in
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: to save the day, like at the end of it,
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: and it was escapism fiction. Yeah, and too many adults
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: are trying to stick with that.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I, well, in the biggest thing for me
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: and I think for you as well, because we even
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: talk about it nowadays with this new Star Wars universe
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: is we're talking to the Skywalkers. We like, this is
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: a whole, entire universe, a galaxy, Like it's a galaxy
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: far far away. Why are we following one family? Like
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: you know, which is why we love The High Republic
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: so much, is because it follows a whole new group
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: of heroes. Granted, we still follow like a certain amount
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: of people, the same amount of people. But the really
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: fun thing is when you look at the comics, when
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: you look at the manga, when you look at the
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: audiobooks and the novels themselves, these groups of individuals are
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: all in different parts of the galaxy yep, and they
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: have a chain reaction to each other rather than hey,
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: we're gonna streamline this one family that just steam rolls
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: through every little conflict to find a resolution. So yeah,
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: that's my thing. I think if if, and this is
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: a big if, George Lucas were to do anything with
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Star Wars currently, it would be one time directing deal
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: for a TV show, one episode at the at the minimum,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: that's what he would do.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: I could see that like maybe fiftieth anniversary of a
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: New Hope, like that's like what four years? I think, Yeah,
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: potentially I could also see like him like maybe co
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: directing with Mangold on like the first Jedi like and
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: like helping with that one a lot. But I don't
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: want him to come back. He gave it up for
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: a reason.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And also I don't think he'll come back because
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: of the amount of money he got from.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: That, and ultimately he's still gonna have to go through
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: Kathleen Kennedy if he wanted. Now, I'm sure Kathleen Kennedy
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: would be like, do whatever the fuck you want, George,
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: but it's still gonna have to go through today's society people.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I just don't think he wants to do that.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: I think he's going to be content with his role,
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: which is occasional quotes about actors that he worked with.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: So yep, one hundred percent. Now let's go ahead and
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: jump to our main topics, of course, that being Skeleton
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: are a main topic. Skeleton episodes five and six. Episode
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: five is of course titled you have a Lot to
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: Learn about Pirates.
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: We're gonna go into our second ad break and we'll
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: be right back.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: This is the one that came out on Christmas or
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Christmas Eve? Should I say right? Oh, yes, yes, Christmas Eve? Katie,
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: What do you think.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: I had a blast with this episode? Like Jake Schreier
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: is the one who's directing Thunderbolts, and literally I tweeted, okay,
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: I will go see Thunderbolts in theaters now, Like I'm
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: not planning on seeing Captain America for in theaters. I
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: just don't have the time as a new mom, like
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: to make plans to go see all the movies in theaters,
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: so like it has to be worth it, and I
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: had the trailer has or previous work or the trailer
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: has to convince me, and this convinced me. Like this
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: was an absolute blast. I had so much fun with this,
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: like the what's the base len Nupa where tach Rinnand
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: who is a famous pirate kept his base with all
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: his secret treasures and everything, And this I just I
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: can't say anything other than it was blast. I'm gonna
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: keep repeating that.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Well one thing. One thing I will say is last
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: episode with Adrian. Adrian couldn't join us today. He is,
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: of course, on the West coast currently. It is just
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: now seven am at the record. We started recording when
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: it was only six thirty am, so a little early
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: for him. So last episode I said that this has
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: a lot a lot of things connected to Treasure Planet,
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: like a lot of story beats, a lot of that stuff.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: This is Treasure Planet. There's a moment in that movie,
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: just like an episode five, when there is a projection
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: like hologram of the last words of this famous pirate.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: The same thing happens in Treasure Planet, like and I
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: I love the room full of treasure that they finally find,
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: right yea, so fun. How to get there? How they
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: get there is also really silly, really fun. One thing
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: that I think a lot of people need to remember
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: about this show is that, of course Star Wars is
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: for kids, but the these this group is full of kids.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: So when they get on this uh, on this planet,
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: it is a resort, it is a hotel, and there's
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: no get when they get into their room. Oh when
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: when they said no kids aloud? And uh, Jude Law's
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: character is just like I have an idea and they
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: all come down from the little thing that comes down
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: and they're all just wrapped up and literally speaking gibberish.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: That was hilarious. But they get into the room and
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: they all start to freak out. They like are like
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: pillow fighting and like jumping on the bed. And of
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: course this is the immediately after Uh, Jod, I'll start
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: I'll stop calling him Jude Law. But Jod was threatened
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: basically by a pirate, uh, which we will bring up
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: the fact that people are now making assumptions on this
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: character's species. Uh poke poke it pocket. I believe her
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: Pocket is her name. Uh and uh star Wars Holocron
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: on Twitter says looks somewhat like Korea a ka Darth
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: Treya from Knights of the Old Republic.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: It also possible that Pocket is of the cage species
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: like Barrage Uh Sylvian in the High Republic. I thought
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: that was very very cool. Uh yes, so I thought
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: that was very very fun. Uh. That actor is also
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: uh yeah, she she plays in in Brave, which I
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: think is is very very cool. But she threatened. It's like, hey,
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: she called him by another name. There is yet another
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: name to his long list of names. I believe she
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: called him dash Zenten is another alien of jobs. And
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: so he's freaking out now, like there's gonna be a
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: lot of.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: Oh I'm gonna enjoy this adults. Only you guys are
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: gonna be stuck here, like in the room. And then
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: he sees herds, like, oh crap, we gotta go.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: He says, there's gonna be a lot of pirates that
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: are coming here to kill us. We have to hurry.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: So they break off into groups and are trying to
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: find an entrance into this secret room that Snee was
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: talking about. Of course he explains that, Hey, they're in
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: what they call the mud Spa, which we saw. We
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: saw some you know, very interesting cameos or surprise species
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: in the spas as well. We saw a hut in there,
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: and we all so saw the a month and there
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: Yes, because they the crew for the Lenupa Resort reveals
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: that the banking clan is here, so that's why you
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: have all the months, because the banking clan is full
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: of months. But then we had a call out to
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: a specific planet and that it really has only been
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: featured in the Clone Wars is Skippyo Because John says, Okay,
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: what's the reservation that you have available and she says,
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: oh so your professor Gorlock, so Skippio. Yeah, And that
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: was interesting. I just find that like maybe because like
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: they're looking for an over public mint and so like
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: credits banking clan like et cetera. But I just that
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: was so interesting to me to pick that planet of
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: all places.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: I thought it was very very fun. There was some
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: things to catch as well. Jod spots some carvings onto
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: the wall of the mud spas we have now seen
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: that that is actually an ancient Sith language, which you
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: know just and I know they just skipped right over it.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: It has nothing to do with the actual story, but
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: it's like it's like that's that's that's gotta be there
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: for something. But they end up finding this room, and
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: I love the way they do it because they have
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: to go into like basically the sewage. But then they
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: see this pool and before they walk into it, Jod
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: just like throws something in there and it's acid. It's like,
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: oh crap, how do we fix this?
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: And it's like, oh, the greatest sacrifice, Oh one of
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: us has to die. He's like no, no, no, no, this
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: is pirates. What is the greatest sacrifice for pirates? It's like, oh,
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: treasure and he throws the credit in there and it
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: drains all the acid. I thought that was very fun,
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: very clever, Yes.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: Very clever, because it was like, oh, like, are somebody
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: actually gonna have to die? Like is this where me
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: bites the bullet? Like well like.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: And and we'll talk about this more in episode six,
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: but like I was wondering, is there ever a world
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: where one of these kids does not make it out
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: of this show?
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: No? You would think right, especially after episode six.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: I think after episode six is definitely giving us an
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: answer of no. But during episode six I was definitely
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: asking the question, Holy shit, is Bryce Dallas Howard really
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: gonna kill one of his kids? So, uh, they get
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: into this room, they see all the treasure and also
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: a little reminiscent of that of Aladdin. John says, don't
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: touch anything and national treasure.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: I just have to point out.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: Yes, treasure, don't touch anything. Find the one thing that
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: feels out of place, and that's gonna be where this
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: data port is. They're trying to find a data port
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: in order to find the actual coordinates. Of course at
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: At and Neil is the one that finds the out
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: of place.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: The roast.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the roast. Everything was rotten except for this one roast,
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: and they flipped it. The data port was there, and
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: so they get to hear the recording, they see the coordinates,
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: Smeed downloads them, and then of course Jod does so
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: a lot.
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: Of people have wondered because tack Rennedd's face was hidden
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: in the hologram.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, so some.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: People are like, oh is it neal species. A lot
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: of people have also suggested, like a week way, because
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: that's what the skull is in the room. Apparently, I
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: don't study the skulls of the Star Wars, just theories.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: And then some people have also said that we may
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: find tac rend actually as the supervisor and he's the
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: one who changed up the rules on Aten and like
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: instigated the security droids because he doesn't trust anybody androids
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: or Okay.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: But here's here's the question though, because I was as.
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: Long as the old species leave.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: Limp Oh, that's true, because well my question was going
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: to be how old is Tath supposed to be?
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and we don't know that. We know he's a legend,
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: that's about it.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: I think that would be very fun to know that
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: he like was a pirate found at Aten and the
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: only way to keep it all to himself was to
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: take over take over an entire planet. That would be insane.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: And that would explain why the ship was buried. Mm hmmm,
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: because people have been like, oh, well, it may be
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: like hundreds of years old, because otherwise how would it
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: be buried? But why would it be buried if people
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: knew the was there? So but if tac rennand took
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: over m he could have chosen to bury it and
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: instantiate the the barrier so that way nobody could leave
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: and he had all the money to himself. Yeah, I
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: think that's a theory.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: It's it's a fun theory. I do think there is
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: a minor flaw in the idea of like, why are
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: all these other planets hidden? You know?
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean I think they were all hidden, right,
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: But he because it's the greatest part of the pirates code, right,
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: you protect your treasure. So the barrier was how he
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: hit his treasure to make sure that nobody could leave
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: and take the treasure away from him. So everything was hidden, yes,
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: because it was supposed to be from the Old Republic,
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: but he hid at at more because he wanted the
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: treasure hoard.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I can see that. I can see that. Uh.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: But this leads us to the very much anticipated change
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: of job. He, of course, backstand not a good guy.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: He's not a good guy, but I think deep down
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: he is.
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: That's the thing he will have that there.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: There there will be a moment in the finale where
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: he saves the kids, where he helps them inevitably, but
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: for now he turns his back on them. He challenges
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: firm for the title of captain and of course.
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: To person it to the pirate's code.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: Basically just to get same off of his back. That
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: is legitimate, the only reason why. And here comes Whim
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: to the rescue.
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: He sees the lights.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: This was so cool. I saw when the moment he
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: saw the lightsaber. I was like, I know this is
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: going to come into effect. This is going to make
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: this is going to come into play by the end
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: of the episode. And he grabs it, and Katie, I thought,
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: as soon as you because you you The way they
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: framed it is that you only see up to the
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: very top of his chest, and then they zoom out
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: to see him holding the lightsaber, and before he turned
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: it on, I said, man, wouldn't that be funny if
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: he was holding it the wrong way? And then he
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: turned it on and it hit his like right between
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: his legs. I was like, that's hilarious.
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: It's so good. It's so funny because it takes a
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: very serious moment and turns it a little whimsical and
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: child like because it has no idea what he's doing.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: And I'm sorry if if if Wyn picked up a
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: lightsaber and then started to like wield it like a Jedi.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: Very first time he grabbed it, like I'm sorry. That
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: would have taken me out of it. That would have
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: been like, hey, this is a little too much. What
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: is going on, the fact that he didn't know what
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: he was doing, the fact that the lightsaber hit in
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: between his legs he freaked out dropped it. That made
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: the scene so much better.
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: And it goes back to what Watts and Ford were
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: saying about how they make the wrong sounds for the
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: lightsabers because they never actually seen a lightsaber, Like they
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: don't know what a lightsaber looks like. So like Whims
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: is like the prop that he was holding that he
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: had created himself looked jenky. I'm the solely word I
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: could think of because he had no idea, He's only
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: seen it in his storybook. Yeah, and like Neil wasn't
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: even holding anything, like he was just using his imagination
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: and so like it totally goes back to that, and
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: I love it. It's like it's perfect.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought this was brilliant. It's absolutely hilarious. And
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: so Jod calls me on to the kids to you know,
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: get rid of them, and.
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: He doesn't actually say get rid of them. I went
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: back and watched this. He says, he says, take them prisoner.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he takes He says, take them prisoner, which I
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: thought was actually very interesting as well. It shows a
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: little bit of the compassion that he's grown to have
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: for these kids for yet. But of course these are kids.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: They're terrified. A big scary adult is you know, ordering
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: the the droid that they were in control of, just
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: you know, seconds earlier to capture them. They're gonna freak out.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: Whim hits the trap door and they fall and that's
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: the end of the episode.
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: I really enjoyed this episode. I am on board with
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: what Katie is saying. I think I am ready for
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: Thunderbolts as well with the cinematography, with the direction of
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: this episode, I feel like it had just the amount
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: the right amount of humor and I loved the colors
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: of this episode as well.
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: In this episode, it was flawless. I have no issues
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: with it is literally a perfect episode. Probably one of
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: my top five episodes of Star Wars. Like I'm not
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: even joking.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: Now. Famously, every single episode Ellis Howard has directed has
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: been one of our favorite episodes.
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: Yes, I do before we move on to episode six.
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: I do have to say this, and I'm gonna butcher
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: this name, but young Joe Wessner wrote episodes five and six.
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: They need to write more episodes.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: They did a excellent job on like both.
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: Episodes, fantastic writing, like the dialogue was perfect, like no notes,
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: like they need to come back to Star Wars yep.
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: I one hundred percent agree, Bryce Dallas Howard. I still
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: believe needs to get a movie from Star Wars.
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: If this episode doesn't give her that.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: I will I will see this. I will say this.
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: There is a large difference in recording television and TV.
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: Yes, but give her a series then.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: If that's the issue, I would say, give her a series.
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: One hundred percent give her a series. We know that
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: she can do it. As far as the episodic tone,
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: do it, give her a series. Now that being said,
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: episode six and well, I will say this about episode
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: five as well. As soon as I finished episode five,
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: I told the guh Chat, I have finished the Skeleton Crew.
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: That felt like a fifteen minute episode because I was
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: having so much fun and it just flew by. Yeah,
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: this episode was kind of the same. It felt very short,
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: but I loved it. I really enjoyed this episode as well.
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: I like, I don't know what you would add more
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: to especially episode six. Oh like maybe episode five could
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: we use some more time, But I don't know what
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: you add to episode six to lengthen that episode brace
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: kill it Like she focused on each kid individually, like
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: learning some fears. But this was like a KB focused episode,
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: which I love because everybody's kind of been wondering, Okay,
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: what is her implance for Like Nott was even like oh,
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: she's an android, Like she's one hundred percent of android.
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: So getting to learn a little bit about why she
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: has the optical advisor that she has was very interesting.
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: And yeah, I like, I don't I don't think you
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: go more into that accident at that point, because again,
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: Whim's trying to save her life. KB is trying to
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: not die at this point.
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: Like yeah, but if I had to choose a direction
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: to go to make the episode longer, I think I
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: would have focused maybe a little bit more on for
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: learning the lesson that she did, because yeah, she learned
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: the lesson, but it was very quick. It was just
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: like Neil said something and she had a light bulb
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: moment of like, oh, wait a second, okay, and then
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: she learned her lesson. Yep with this though.
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: And we're about to jump into our third ad. Y'all,
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: we promise we'll be right back, we promise.
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: We see them escaping that treasure room, they fall into
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: this beach of nothing but trash from the planet, and
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: now they're trying to decide, Hey, how do we get
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: back to our ship. Fern has one idea, Wim has another,
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: and of course, Fern, being the very how do I
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: say this lightly, because she's a child, stubborn, stubborn, strong
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: minded individual that she is, believes, hey, I was once captain,
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: so I get to make the rules. And so she says,
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: we're going to do this, and she even goes to
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: KB and says, hey, Wim is going to disagree with me,
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: but you need to be on my side because of this,
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: this and this, and Kb's like nah, And KB has
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: legitimate reason not to agree with Fern, but she doesn't
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: voice it. And we learned that later that due to
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: an accident prior to the start of the series, her
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: augmentation prevents her from doing certain things. In this instance,
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: due to the wetness and coldness of the atmosphere, her
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: her augmentations are corroding there. It's basically dying and we
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: have a little fun moment, and I say fun, but
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: it's a very intense moment for Wim trying to save
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: Kv's life.
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: And he didn't know it at the time, Like she
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: doesn't tell him, oh, yeah, I was about to die.
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: I bet you thought saving somebody's life would be more intense.
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: She does it off.
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very very subtle, but I genuinely love because
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: it's such a lighthearted moment because she says anyway, thanks
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: Jedi and walks away, and Whim gets from this like
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: like he is in shock because his new friend almost died.
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: But then he lights up. You can see it in
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: his face the moment he registers what she just called him,
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: and he just gets up and he's like, Okay, let's
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: keep going. It's the one thing that he wants to be.
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: It's the one thing that he wants to do. He
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: wants to of course, save lives. He wants to be
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: quote unquote important. And I think that, you know, as
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: a coming of age story, we always get these types
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: of heroes that wants that for themselves, but you never
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: really expect it in the smallest ways that you do
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: get it. And so for this moment again, like she said, oh,
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: you probably thought saving somebody's life would be a little
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: bit more intense, and all this stuff, something so minor
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: can still very be very big in the aspect of,
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: you know, of course, saving a life. Their idea is
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: to follow these crabs, which I love. I've watched this
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: with subtitles just because Abby has subtitles on everything, and
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: they're mimicking everything that women kb say. But when they
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: when they do it in the beginning, it says trash
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: crab and I just laughed. I don't know why.
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: I just laughed because we were so nervous that mar
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: was gonna wake up because she was fighting sleep the
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: whole time. So we had it on like volume seven,
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: and so we watched it with sometimes. So I actually
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: meant to watch it this morning, like full volume and
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: just totally forgot.
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: There was the trash crabs that were mimicking everything that
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: they were saying, and then Fern was wanting to climb
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: the wall in order to get to the ship the quickest, yep.
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: And the reason why they wanted to follow these trash
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: crabs were they're like, Okay, they're sentient, they know how
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: to get a hold of somebody for them to help us.
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: And so Fern is like, you know what, fine, you
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: don't have to follow me, Neil, Let's go, And Neil's like, yeah,
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: you know, splitting up into two groups is probably the best. Well,
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: well we'll meet you there. You know, I love Neil,
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: poor guy. He is just getting dragged every direction, even
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: when you know, spoiler alert, they get into the ship.
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: But like even when they're in the ship, they're like, oh, Neil,
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: you know how to fly this thing. You've done it before.
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: And he's like, wait, what what yea, guys, I'm still
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: a child. I don't know what. But they they Fern
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: and Neil start climbing, and Neil gets to this point
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: of like, hey, like I can't do this as as
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: like you can, because I don't have spider like arms
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: and legs like you, like, you can't. You can't expect
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: everybody to do what you can. And that's what gets
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: this light bulb moment in Fern like, oh, like I
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: a your stand that not everybody is me. So we
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: see this moment where she grabs this rope, ties it
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: around Neil, and they collectively take one step at a
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: time to go up and up and up, and then
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: they notice these larger trash uh conveyors drones. If anybody
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: has played the oh shoot, what's the Star Wars game
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: uh Survivor Jedi Survivor, in the very beginning of that
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: first game, he is working at a at a trash planet.
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: Trash planet, and you see those as well. That's the
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: first thing that I recognized it from. So uh you
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: see four of those grabbing the ship, and Fern is like, okay,
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: I have an idea, and the idea is jumping on
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: the ship. That was I was surprised that they actually
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: did it. I thought Neil was gonna have one of
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: those moments again like hey, not everybody can do the
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: things that you do. But of course, like this was
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: a little bit more dire. They were in need of
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: the ship, so they actually jumped on it, and I
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: thought that was pretty fun. Katie, what did you feel
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: about the inevitable interaction with the crabs for Kabie and
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: whim I died.
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: But it also feels like Star Wars has liked to
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: do this where they have like the baby monster and
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: then they have the big Mama monster is just like
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: really and then Matt starts doing like a little and
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: I'm like, stop it, stop it right now. But I
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: saw this. They apparently did the mom trash crab with
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: stop motion, and I wore that from I said it
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: in the group chat, but like they stop motioned the
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: entire crap. And that's intense because I thought this scene
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: looked really good and like I didn't like, this is
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: probably the best thing that was shot on the volume
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: because you can tell it is the volume with like
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: the circle motion that was made with the ship, but like,
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: is the best thing that was shot in that process?
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: Like it looks really good.
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: I want to apologize. Apparently my dog is going crazy
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: in the background. Anybody hear it, But I apologize, No,
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: I really I'm watching the video now. That is so intense.
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: I thought it was just CGI. I thought it was
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: all CGI, but this is stop motion. I want to
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: see how they did. I'm sure that the actual crabs
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: were like remote control or something, but that looks awesome.
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: I thought that this sequence was very fun. I love
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: the like the little moment that Wem has. It's like,
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: why do I always think the good guy or why do.
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: I always think the bad guys are good guys. It's
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: like poor kid. But this is when they see Fern
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: and Neil. They are swooping down and like, I love
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: how Fern has this moment of like trying to control
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: the trash drone and she like picks them up and
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: like she doesn't even look to see if they're on
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: the ship. She just screams out, please tell me I
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: got them, Please tell me I got them. And then
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: they crash because of course this giant crab throws debris
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: at them and they fall, they crash, and you knew
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: that what was going to happen was going to come
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: into play because the one thing that I don't necessarily
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: love about episodic television is the recaps usually show you
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: something that's going to be very important into the actual episode,
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: which I kind of wish they would have just like
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: left out so that way people would have this aha moment, like,
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: oh crap, yeah, there's this moment skip to that you
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: can you can't, but like I I probably should start
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: skipping the the recaps.
• 54:37
  Speaker 3: Most of the time, that's when like Matt and I
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: are like brushing our teeth. So I'm just gonna let
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: it because we also had the ad version of Disney Plus,
• 54:44
  Speaker 3: so like it has that ads like three minutes afterwards.
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: So yeah, so with with that, they get into the
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: ship and they're like, okay, we need we need to
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: save our ship because you see this other job thing
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: this common it's like a.
• 55:01
  Speaker 3: Big trash melter compactory thing.
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's and it's really cool because it has
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: like these like fingers that are like helping it crawl
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: across the floor, but it's those those fingers are actually
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: helping it scoop in all of the trash as well.
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: So while it's doing that, it's clearly going to beginning
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: to the ship. They run inside the ship, they try
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: to get it running. Nothing is really helping they They
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: finally get enough power to like somewhat get off of
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: the ground, but by this point the compactor has already
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: got the nose of the ship and so it's only
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: kind of flying with its butt in the air. And
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: for it's like, oh wait, but there's this and of
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: course it is the one button that SMEE said to
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: never push that button, press this button. And it was
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: very interesting because for a split second there was a
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: moment that I had where it was like, is Fern
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: gonna have one of these moments of like, oh, I
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: haven't listened to my friends this entire time, and it
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: has gotten them to kind of resent me. Should I
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: not press this button and we abandon ship? Like that's
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: what I honestly thought was gonna happen at first, But
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: then of course she presses the button. It releases all
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: of these valves and they shed the skin of the ship.
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: I love the fact that this ship is quite possibly
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: because again we do not know how old this ship is,
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: because we do not know how old the pirate is
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: or how much of a legend he is depending on
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: like the eras of time, we don't know how old
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: the ship is. But the moment that skin sheds off
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: that ship, it is a slick, clean chrome.
• 57:05
  Speaker 3: It looks kind of like pad maship almost it does.
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: It still has the engines that go up and down
• 57:15
  Speaker 3: like Horizonal And.
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I love the design of this ship. I would
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: not mind having a model of this ship. I think
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: it looks very, very fun.
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: And I love that it's like a new feature for
• 57:30
  Speaker 3: Star Warsh, like I've never seen something like that ever,
• 57:36
  Speaker 3: and like it shed two full engines yeah, and the
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: outer hole. So it'll be interesting because I'm assuming the
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: last two episodes they're going on. Because the thing we
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: forgot to mention is that KB said she memorized the
• 57:54
  Speaker 3: ordinance for.
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: That, I think that the advisor. I think her advisor
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: helped her with that. Yeah. But also I think that
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: not only did they shed their engines, I think that
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: they also lost their weapons.
• 58:12
  Speaker 4: And this should be our final ad break. So y'all,
• 58:16
  Speaker 4: thanks for bearing with us. We appreciate y'all. We'll be
• 58:19
  Speaker 4: right back.
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: No, because Wim was in was in the top gun.
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: But if you noticed the front, the front weapons are gone,
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: and I believe that it had two as far because
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: there was the there is because I believe it was
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: both Fern and Whim when they first jumped into the weapons,
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: they both had separate guns. So I think, yes, there's
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: only one left and that was the one that Wim
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: was in this time.
• 58:57
  Speaker 3: So maybe maybe.
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: But what I'm saying is that this isn't going to
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: be a ship that is made for combat, so.
• 59:07
  Speaker 3: It's a ship made for escaping exactly.
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: So I think that this is going to be Although
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: we really love the design, I think this is a
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: one and done trip. I think they are going to
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: fly to at and and we're probably not going to
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: see the ship again unfortunately, But there is still two
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: episodes to go, believe we have.
• 59:30
  Speaker 3: Next week and then the week after.
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'm ready. I'm having a lot of fun
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: with it. One thing that we did forget to mention
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: with this episode, which I actually really did enjoy, was
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: John got captured by the pirates.
• 59:49
  Speaker 3: He came out of the whole covered in treasure, and so.
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: Does me Yeah, and they're like, I love that he
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: sees the people that are in charge of the resort.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: He's like, hey, I'm so glad I saw you because like, hey,
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: like see all this it could be yours too, you know.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And he's like he's already I'm ready to check
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 3: out refill my ship, but I'm ready to leave.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's already ready to buy his way out of
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: any trouble that he may have caused. Like he's already
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: ready to like leave. Of course, he gets captured, Smee
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: doesn't even have a chance to do anything. They immediately
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: uh stun him. And when they are on the ship,
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: they're like, okay, we're but we're we're gonna do death
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: by airlock. You're gone, see you later, And he kind
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: of gives these eyes to this random individual that is
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: sitting next to I keep forgetting Brutus. Is that his name?
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: Okay uh? And she's like, hey, whoa due to the
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: pirate code he has, he has last rites, he has,
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: you know, his last words. And they flip this like
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: hourglasses full of plasma.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 3: I love that, by the way, you need.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: I do love the addition of the plasma instead of
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: just like regular plainal hourglass stand and he starts to
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: talk up at at I. I love this, and I
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: know there's gonna be people freaking out. Oh no another song.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: Star Wars is adding another song to the universe. Oh no,
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: people need to calm the hell down. I loved it.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: I love this because again, it just shows how manipulative
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: Jod is.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 3: Yes, because he's only there.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: He's only there to save his own skin. And again
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: I despise him for turning his back on the kids.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: I just love him as a consistent character like like
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: I I because I don't like in stories when characters
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: in like change their characteristics and their mindsets so dramatically,
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: just for the sake of the story. There needs to
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: be a reason for it, and for Jod, there has
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: been a reason for him to play along with every
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: little aspect that he plays along with, every interaction.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 3: There is a reason to say of his own skin.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: Yes, I love it. And for this he talks to
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: he he talks to individuals. It's like, hey, you know
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: how you wanted to save money for this, Well, what
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: if you never had to save again. What if you
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: could buy your own ocean? What if you could do this?
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: What if you could do that? He's like, I know
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: how to do it, because I know how to get
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: these and he pulls out the Old Republic credit It's
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: like I know where they make them. And that's when
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: Brutus was like, you know what, fine, we'll go to
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: ann we'll see your treasure and if it's not there,
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: you're going on a little trip. And he shoves his
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: face into like just to see what the airlock does
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: when it like, it releases. I love the visual. I
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: think it was a very nice touch. I I love
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: that entire scene because it shows that there's still people
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: loyal to Jod because that person didn't have to remind
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: Brutus of the last rights or last words of the Pirates.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: So I love how these little things are just like
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: playing into place for Jod as well. And I think,
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: of course this will be a moment where uh, whether
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: it be a race to the supervisor or uh a
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: race within itself to at who do you think is
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: gonna write first?
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 3: I think probably the kids, and they're gonna be like
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 3: the warning shot, but they also might get dragged to
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 3: the supervisor and like banished because remember that's what the
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 3: security droid said. They've broken the laws by leaving the barrier, like,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 3: so they that's probably the reason they get to the supervisor.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 3: But then the last episode is going to be the
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 3: Pirates coming mm hmm, so it'd be interesting to see.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 3: I'm excited.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm very excited. I think this has been a
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: very very fun series so far. It has met and
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: exceeded expectations, and I think it's a very fun way
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: to start the new year. I think that this this
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: this finale will be very fun for Star Wars for sure.
• 1:05:10
