  Speaker 1: All right, I suppose I'm obligated to talk about Star Wars. Well,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: I guess we're expected to well. With today being Revenge
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: of the Fifth not made the Four People, we're a
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Star Wars shirt today, which I don't. I don't very often.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: That's a secret Star Wars unless you're paying exactly that's
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: what I like about it. Unless you're looking right at it,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: you don't see it's a Star Wars shirt. I do
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: have a recommendation though, for your Star Wars Day go
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: to your Disney Plus. Of course that's where all your
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Star Wars is. But go to your Disney Plus and
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: they have a banner at the top and it'll say
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: may the fourth different stuff on it. Click on that right,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: and then go down a couple of notches to Rise
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: of the Resistance and Galaxy Edge. Each one of these
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: is a walk through with no people. It's someone just
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: with a camera, very professionally done, who goes on the
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Rise of the Resistance ride and shows you all the
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: stuff so you get to go on the ride without
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: going on the that'. And then there's another one that's
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: a walk through of Galaxy's Edge, the whole Star Wars
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: land again with no people. They must have done it
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: at like three in the morning when no one was around.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: But that was I found very enjoyable. Yesterday I just
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: happened upon it. Also, Millennium Falcon Smugglers Run in twenty
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: twenty six is going to be a whole new ride.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: That's an existing ride right now, and the news story
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: will visit Tattoine, Cloud City, the Wreckage of the Second
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Death Star, and Coruscant. But it's not just one ride.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: There will be multiple paths you can take and it
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: all depends on whoever is playing the part of the engineer.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: When you get on the ride, it's four people, okay,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: two pilots, engineer and a gunner. Okay, engineer doesn't usually
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: have anything to do. Well, Now the engineer gets to
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: decide where you go. So this is going to make
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: you want to ride the ride multiple times to have
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: different adventures, which is exactly what's going on now. People
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: ride at once and go eh, it's a big video game.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: And also it cycles people through really quick because there
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: are multiple pods, So go back through and try it again,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: go back through and try it again. Now that's not
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: going to happen until May of twenty twenty six when
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the Mandalorian and Grogu the movie premieres, and part of
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the ride will be the engineer gets to interact with Grogu.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Oh cute, Mandalorian and Grogu are going on this mission
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: with you. It's all part of Smuggler's Run. It's going
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: to bring new life to the ride. Which is interesting
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: because Star Tours it stayed the same for years. Smuggler's
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: One just opened a few years ago, and now they're
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: changing the rides. I think it's a good idea. They
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: can refresh it a lot then sounds, you know, and
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I think they could also refresh Rise of the Resistance.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: You could make that Darth Vader instead of Kylo Ren,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: you could. You could do all that anyway, if you
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: want to feel like you're living in Star Wars, here's
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: a little something for you. New merch. Of course, people
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: talk about the new lego sets and all the toys
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: and everything that they release on May the fourth because
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: of this, But this is this is one that Disney
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: is not really promoting a lot. But I think maybe
• 3:37
