  Hello, there. It's time for most things
• 0:04
  Kenobi. Hey everyone, welcome to another
• 0:19
  episode of most things Kenobi. A podcast about Obi-Wan Kenobi
• 0:23
  and all things. Star Wars.
• 0:25
  I'm your host Leanne and I'm your host Lauren and this week,
• 0:30
  never tell us the odds. We're talking Han Solo baby.
• 0:37
  Sorry, I had to everyone's favorite scoundrel.
• 0:40
  Yes, and hero. Yes, he is a hero he is.
• 0:46
  He doesn't want to It he doesn't want to be known as it but he's
• 0:49
  a hero. That's true.
• 0:51
  Yeah, and for the luck tonight, Hiro looked at hero.
• 0:55
  Handsome is folk hero at some Harrison Ford in his prime.
• 1:01
  Oh my God. Yes, damn and Carrie Fisher got
• 1:04
  to tap that I mean forget all the logistical things aside and
• 1:09
  you know the morality of it all but right.
• 1:13
  Get it. But it was like twice her age or
• 1:15
  whatever. I write.
• 1:16
  Well and I think I'm pretty sure.
• 1:17
  He was married. Yes, I was married.
• 1:19
  I mean that's what she said. So anyway, get it girl.
• 1:26
  So we're going to focus since there's so much to go over
• 1:29
  there. So we could talk so many hours
• 1:31
  upon hours about Han Solo, but we're going to narrow it down to
• 1:34
  our top three, favorite console will moments.
• 1:37
  It's gonna be really hard, it's like art when we talked about
• 1:41
  our top five Clone Wars moments, and we had so many honorable
• 1:44
  mentions, it's kind of the same thing and it's only about
• 1:47
  Character. Look at my whole list and there,
• 1:50
  she's got a whole list of notes all.
• 1:52
  Yeah, it's a lot more than three.
• 1:57
  All right. Well, let's let's get into it.
• 1:58
  Then you want to go first. What starting with number 3 and
• 2:01
  working up to 1? Yeah, let's go with number three
• 2:03
  and work, and work up to one, shall we?
• 2:07
  Okay, so my number three hunts. All the moment is actually from
• 2:11
  Force awakens Oh, oh, oh hey. It's the moment where he says to
• 2:19
  Finn. That's not how the force works.
• 2:21
  And then he turns to chewy, and he's like, oh, really, you're
• 2:24
  cold. Yeah, he's still maintained his
• 2:32
  Han Solo - all these decades later, right?
• 2:37
  Love it. The fact that chewy is bitching
• 2:40
  about how cold he is in a moment like that. 100%.
• 2:45
  I take this time to tell him to basically shut up.
• 2:47
  We're busy to keep. Yeah, yeah, there's a lot of the
• 2:51
  force awaken moments when he says, Chewie, we're home?
• 2:54
  Yes, it's great moment. When he says all of it, it's all
• 2:58
  true. Yes.
• 3:00
  And like I knew, Luke, all of that scene.
• 3:03
  Yeah, and like, and knowing that that Han Solo wasn't a Believer,
• 3:07
  he wasn't a believer in any of it, he just wanted his money and
• 3:10
  wanted out. Yeah.
• 3:12
  And he ends up wrapped up in the This family of his in this
• 3:16
  heroic journey of his own. Yeah.
• 3:18
  And literally he wanted nothing to do with it and the Skywalker
• 3:22
  family just wouldn't have it. No, no.
• 3:25
  But we know how dramatic those bastards are.
• 3:27
  So once you're in their grasp, it's hard to get out.
• 3:33
  Then you start having kids with them and you can never get any
• 3:36
  sleep, you can never get out. I mean, shit, it just lingers
• 3:40
  right? Well, and I like ivory.
• 3:43
  I do like all the moments between him and his son, you
• 3:46
  know the oh there are awful to watch their like heartbreaking,
• 3:51
  but their performances together are so Humane and heartbreaking
• 3:56
  and yeah. Adam Driver is the perfect son.
• 4:00
  Yes of Han Solo. I mean you want to talk about
• 4:02
  someone who actually looks like he could be the son of Harrison
• 4:06
  Ford / Han Solo. Yeah but the mannerisms he gets
• 4:10
  them all down the tiny little nods to some of the yeah.
• 4:13
  Yeah I know the movements of you know Han Solo from the Original
• 4:16
  Trilogy, all of it. Yeah.
• 4:18
  Like the shoulder shrug and yeah that yeah and the sliding yes
• 4:22
  lied to the end of the. I mean all of the Han Solo
• 4:25
  things that we love Han for. Yeah.
• 4:27
  Adam Driver was able to bring that to life.
• 4:30
  Kudos to Adam Driver. Fantastic actor.
• 4:32
  Yes. Oh I love him.
• 4:33
  He's great. Yes, he's great and everything.
• 4:35
  He's in honestly truly. So what's your number three?
• 4:40
  If I had to pick a number three, If I had to pick a number three,
• 4:45
  I think it's Wen Han was ready to like I was saying he wanted
• 4:50
  his money and he wanted out, right?
• 4:52
  But in Empire Strikes Back another scene that I love we can
• 4:56
  be you know in this movie that's my favorite is when he you know,
• 5:00
  Luke is out there somewhere and he was about Han was about to
• 5:04
  leave and he's like, hell no, the temperatures dropping I'm
• 5:07
  going out there. I'm going to go get my friend
• 5:09
  and yeah it's that moment of like he had so many chances.
• 5:12
  To leave, mmm. But this was he saved Luke.
• 5:17
  Yeah. Again, I mean, right, it's a
• 5:21
  witch, you know, he goes out and takes and, you know, huge
• 5:24
  personal risk just to save his best friend.
• 5:27
  You know, what's, what does it say?
• 5:28
  Like, you're never going to make it to the first marker or some
• 5:30
  in a while. I'll see you in hell, you know,
• 5:32
  like it's like so perfectly delivered and then he just rides
• 5:35
  off on the Tauntaun and goes out into the freezing cold to save
• 5:38
  Luke and then he comes up with that brilliant idea to keep
• 5:41
  lukewarm, which You know, the taunt.
• 5:44
  The tauntauns already dead everybody.
• 5:46
  Yes. But he cuts open the belly and
• 5:48
  shoves Luke in there to keep him warm.
• 5:50
  It's brilliant. Honestly and smart and I'm sure
• 5:52
  it was really unpleasant to hang out with Luke in the shelter
• 5:56
  afterwards. He probably smelled terrible.
• 5:58
  This, it was probably awful. So there are a lot of personal
• 6:01
  sacrifices made that line though.
• 6:02
  Where he says, and I thought they smelled bad on the outside.
• 6:06
  Yes, that's right. Yes, it says you're good moment.
• 6:11
  There are so many quotes. It's and one-liners seriously.
• 6:15
  His character probably has the best one-liners throughout the
• 6:18
  whole series. Absolutely.
• 6:20
  And the best part is, is that the other perfect one-liners are
• 6:23
  from chewy but we don't even know what the hell you says.
• 6:26
  Is Allah Allah, you know, and then only Han knows.
• 6:30
  Yeah, but you know, he's talking back to him so it's like the
• 6:33
  perfect pair, it's so great. But yeah, that's my top three my
• 6:37
  I guess my third. That's a great moment.
• 6:39
  That's on my honorable mentions, is it?
• 6:41
  There you go. There you go.
• 6:42
  Go. Alright, so number two, number
• 6:45
  two, It's The End Of A New Hope where they all find Transit.
• 6:52
  Yes. Oh wait, what were you going to
• 6:54
  say? Well, the part where they all re
• 6:56
  converged, they have other. Yes.
• 6:58
  Where are they all going up to each other and hug?
• 7:01
  And like, I love that moment. Mine is slightly different.
• 7:04
  Okay. Okay, good.
• 7:05
  So we're not exactly. But go ahead.
• 7:07
  We'll get to it. You it.
• 7:08
  The hug is the most pure thing captured on film.
• 7:13
  I don't care what anyone says, the smiles 3.
• 7:15
  So genuine. Mmm, it's so beautiful and I
• 7:19
  like the way he cannot like slaps Luke's, face, alacoque.
• 7:23
  Get out of, he's like a big brother.
• 7:25
  It's the it is Han is a bit of a protector over Luke and he calls
• 7:31
  him kid, you know because just establishing that, you know,
• 7:35
  hierarchy if you will write that hug is the reunions.
• 7:40
  At the end of that is, it's a beautiful moment.
• 7:42
  I think it's like one of the few times Han really lets his guard
• 7:46
  down because Luke says, I knew you'd come back.
• 7:49
  I just knew it. And like, Hans smile is so
• 7:52
  genuine, and he doesn't say anything really.
• 7:54
  It's just more like, well, I guess he says, I can't let you
• 7:56
  take all the reward, but like, yeah, it's true.
• 7:58
  Yeah, but that's just you know, hon uses humor to soften a
• 8:02
  little bit of the emotional things that he doesn't mean he
• 8:05
  doesn't like to be vulnerable. Exactly.
• 8:07
  So he uses humor, to in place of that.
• 8:09
  Yeah, it's so I just switched out, it's Act.
• 8:13
  It is in like no other set of actors could have made that
• 8:17
  scene. No, no, no.
• 8:20
  I know we're bias here on this show but unapologetically so
• 8:24
  yeah. I mean I was going to say find
• 8:26
  me a trio that's better. I'll wait but I mean, you know,
• 8:29
  there's a lot of good trios out there and film so I'll just I'll
• 8:32
  just hold back but I'm telling you that was the most genuine
• 8:34
  hug ever captured on film. Yes, period yet done period end
• 8:39
  of story. My number two, hmm kind of For
• 8:43
  this moment I always get chills and I always cheer when you
• 8:47
  think that Han is gone and then faders chasing after Luke to go
• 8:52
  in towards the Death Star Luke's going to try.
• 8:54
  And and here comes the Millennium Falcon.
• 8:57
  He turned around Han turned around and took care of Vader.
• 9:00
  At least for, you know to allow Luke to go finish the business
• 9:04
  on the Death Star and it's like that.
• 9:06
  Yes, he came back like I don't care how many times I've watched
• 9:09
  this movie I always cheer like Han came Academics is so great.
• 9:14
  Yeah. It's like I have a little bit of
• 9:16
  Goosebumps just talking about it.
• 9:19
  It's one of those things where, you know, you know, I mean it's
• 9:22
  been a long time since I saw this film for the first time but
• 9:26
  it doesn't replace the fact that I always cheer.
• 9:28
  Every time Han comes back, you know, such a great moment
• 9:32
  because it's unexpected especially when you've never
• 9:34
  seen it before, but it leads up to your number to moment, which
• 9:38
  is why it's so great when they all come together.
• 9:41
  And Luke says, I knew you'd come Come back.
• 9:43
  And it's like, yes, like yeah. It's like he finally decides to
• 9:47
  kind of commit to something bigger than himself bigger than
• 9:50
  himself, and he goes back and forth on it like an Empire
• 9:53
  Strikes Back. When he says, he has to go the
• 9:55
  Bounty Hunter, they ran into made him realize he has to go
• 9:59
  pay off. Jabba the Hutt.
• 10:00
  But, you know, well, it's I get it though because there's a part
• 10:05
  of Han that he's staring down, major changes in his life and
• 10:09
  he's always been so comfortable in the lane that he's been in,
• 10:12
  which Smuggling kind of to face I guess, depending on who he was
• 10:15
  around, you know, and we can get the money, you know, Bounty
• 10:18
  Hunter stuff, and I feel like The Empire Strikes Back thing
• 10:22
  when he was trying to leave was just him like wanting to try and
• 10:25
  get back into that. But he was already too far gone.
• 10:27
  If yeah. He was too into it obviously
• 10:29
  because he goes and saves Luke and he obviously liked Leia.
• 10:33
  We see it in, you know, that little smirk he has at the end
• 10:36
  of yeah at the very very end of a new hope when they get the
• 10:39
  medals. But like I I get it because he
• 10:43
  feels he's still somewhat attached to him all his old self
• 10:48
  and yet he's staring down the barrel of his new self and he's
• 10:51
  not quite sure he wants to fully commit and then he does I mean
• 10:54
  he's in it. Yeah he's in it all the way to
• 10:56
  the end. Then like at what point does he
• 10:59
  go off? You know, I know they say in in
• 11:01
  the sequel Trilogy they like basically his son getting
• 11:06
  corrupted, was the moment that he like left?
• 11:08
  I guess, I don't know. That just was really sad to me
• 11:11
  that whole like Malaya not being on the same page.
• 11:15
  At the end of the story was really sad.
• 11:17
  I'm glad they liked kind of reconciled.
• 11:19
  They had that moment where they reconciled, but that was really
• 11:22
  heartbreaking because it was so hard to get those characters
• 11:25
  together. Yeah, you you get a little more
• 11:28
  of it. If you read the book bloodline
• 11:30
  and focuses on layup predominantly and, you know, Ben
• 11:34
  is in the picture. Ben is with Luke and Han is, if
• 11:38
  I remember correctly, he's teaching people to fly, or he
• 11:41
  has some kind of I don't want to misquote or Miss Miss describe,
• 11:46
  but she has like video conferences.
• 11:49
  She Skypes with him, and there's still an affection there.
• 11:53
  There's still a partnership. But it's described as I believe
• 11:58
  as like things are always difficult between them and
• 12:01
  there's always space between them and hmm.
• 12:04
  I really was heartbroken when in the in the now cannon that their
• 12:09
  son turned to the dark side. I I always These couples to have
• 12:14
  like a happy ever after, you know, but there's a Skywalker
• 12:17
  involved, so that's not possible.
• 12:21
  I should know better. Yeah, Leia is still a Skywalker
• 12:25
  and whenever, that blood is involved, it's on never going to
• 12:28
  be easy. No, it's always gonna be tragic.
• 12:31
  But I just I always say like, I think they would be better
• 12:34
  parents than that, but it really doesn't have anything to do with
• 12:37
  parentage, you know how your kid turns out, you know, it's the
• 12:41
  whole nature versus nurture. Nurture.
• 12:43
  Yeah, I mean you can set a foundation but then after
• 12:45
  certain point, it's not really your fault or your
• 12:48
  responsibility anymore, how a person is an adult.
• 12:51
  And I still think that hon maybe wrestled with that obviously,
• 12:55
  Leia did, because we saw more of her wrestling with it.
• 12:58
  Yeah, their whole, their whole family Dynamic just like breaks
• 13:01
  my damn heart. It really does.
• 13:04
  It really does? They I love them as characters
• 13:06
  together. Hmm.
• 13:08
  Well, like the moment where she says, if you see our son, yeah,
• 13:11
  bring him home. I know.
• 13:12
  All they're still Partners. She's saying like Luke's.
• 13:15
  Not his father, you're his father.
• 13:18
  It's just like that moment of self sacrifice with Han it's
• 13:21
  like, you know, it seems like I'm gonna go well.
• 13:23
  I know. No, no character who walks out
• 13:26
  on a scaffold in Star Wars is gonna come off of it.
• 13:29
  So, no, and God damn, it only bad things happen up on those on
• 13:36
  the scaffolding, damn it, scaffolding moments.
• 13:42
  Drama with Scaffolding in Star Wars places.
• 13:46
  You don't want to go only Castleton heartbreak or you does
• 13:50
  a limb or something, stay away, never go out on the scaffolding.
• 13:58
  All right. Number one.
• 14:00
  Do we have the same one? Probably, I would guess.
• 14:03
  I don't know. It's like everyone is number one
• 14:05
  then. Yeah.
• 14:06
  We have the same one. Yeah, you can't beat it.
• 14:08
  There is no other. There is no other scene.
• 14:11
  Go ahead, say it is it the I love you?
• 14:13
  I know. I know.
• 14:14
  Yep. Come on as it when I first saw
• 14:18
  that scene. I was like that was like the
• 14:20
  most romantic thing I'd ever seen.
• 14:23
  It is still and it's so delivered, it's delivered.
• 14:27
  So, So and the lighting the drama chewy screaming, you know
• 14:33
  like because he's you know that that's all these things but it's
• 14:37
  the point in C of it. Yeah, love it.
• 14:40
  I remember feeling really distressed watching that as a
• 14:43
  kid because like you said there's so much going on and
• 14:46
  everyone is so upset. But now like as an adult, you
• 14:49
  hear the like vulnerability in his voice.
• 14:52
  He says I know and like their kiss is so so romantic and yes.
• 14:58
  They literally have to peel lay off of him.
• 15:01
  Pull him back a little bit apart, the pulled apart.
• 15:04
  Yeah. That's like so like such a Trope
• 15:07
  that I love but also if you lived that and relight that in
• 15:10
  real life that be fucking devastating, right?
• 15:13
  Yeah. I mean I would have handled it
• 15:15
  way worse than layaway. I was like, yeah, a Pillar of
• 15:18
  Strength. I mean, that's just what she is.
• 15:21
  That's what she is. Yeah, very Padme, very Padma.
• 15:25
  Yeah, Pillar of Strength stuff, you know.
• 15:27
  But but yeah, that is hello romantic.
• 15:30
  Yeah. Love it.
• 15:31
  And have you seen people get wedding?
• 15:33
  Rings engraved with that. And and I've seen like, just
• 15:37
  married t-shirts at Disney where it's like, I love him.
• 15:43
  I know I love you. I know and they're pointing at
• 15:46
  each other. Like there's fingers pointing at
• 15:48
  the other that's turning. Looks like it's just a great
• 15:50
  scene. It is right?
• 15:53
  And it's like you expect. I love you.
• 15:57
  And you Fact, the return to be. I love you too, but it's so Han
• 16:02
  Solo and so like, yeah, God, it's so good.
• 16:06
  Everyone knows this story to that.
• 16:07
  It was written. I love you.
• 16:09
  I love you too. And it wasn't working exactly.
• 16:13
  And that's why it's so like it's so Harrison Ford, you know, as
• 16:17
  well because he was like, okay, I'm just gonna wing it.
• 16:19
  I'm just gonna go up what I feel and it couldn't have been more
• 16:22
  perfect. No, it was absolutely perfect.
• 16:26
  I would not change that scene. Not one ounce, not one second.
• 16:29
  Perfect. And like, the way he is looking
• 16:32
  up at her. Oh, as he descends into the,
• 16:35
  yes, yes. I know.
• 16:36
  He doesn't take his eyes off of, it's so much more romantic and
• 16:40
  more telling of the character than if he had said I love you
• 16:43
  too. Yeah, exactly.
• 16:45
  No. And it, and the thing is, is
• 16:46
  like Leia had to. That was a big admission for
• 16:50
  Leia. Mmm.
• 16:51
  And the fact that Han already knew he's loved her this whole
• 16:54
  time, you know? Yeah, and he was just waiting
• 16:57
  on. Her to say it all got it,
• 16:59
  because they're both so proud. They don't want to be are there.
• 17:02
  But when the stubborn assholes all right, which is why they're
• 17:06
  perfect for each other. They don't want all yield, no
• 17:09
  one wants to give ground, you know, it's just in that moment.
• 17:14
  She finally gives in it. Oh, it's very satisfying.
• 17:17
  Yes, you can yield with love. That's okay.
• 17:21
  Yes, it's one of my all-time favorites or scenes.
• 17:24
  It's very, very romantic. And then we have the flip side
• 17:29
  in the rise of Skywalker where Ben is about to say Dad.
• 17:34
  And then Han says, I know and that's that's Hans.
• 17:38
  It's the last words out of Han Solo in Canon you know the film.
• 17:44
  Yeah. Films it's very appropriate and
• 17:47
  I loved every second of it that scene fucking killed me.
• 17:50
  You need to oh my God, all the scenes between him and Ben are
• 17:54
  just so fraught with emotion. And the fact that I do love
• 17:59
  that, they brought it back around so that yes kylo starts
• 18:03
  to disappear and bend starts to be up here.
• 18:06
  And he sees his father, it's his admission of Love, Like Leia's
• 18:12
  was once upon a time ago, mmm, that propels them forward and
• 18:17
  and pain just said, I know. Yeah.
• 18:21
  And it was /. It was well done.
• 18:22
  That was well done. Yeah.
• 18:24
  It's such a it's beautifully parallel, and then friends.
• 18:26

• 19:09
  I thought he said something more at the end when he's with re the
• 19:13
  throne room but he doesn't like that's it.
• 19:17
  No. Well sometimes you don't need
• 19:19
  words you just need for spawned, right?

  Yeah. Less is more.
• 19:24
  So you have some honorable mentions?
• 19:26

• 19:31
  interaction ever. That he's ever had with Lando
• 19:33
  because those two are a piece of work.
• 19:36
  I love. Yes.

• 19:41
  ass seen, like, when they land on best Ben and he comes out to
• 19:44
  greet. Yes.
• 19:45
  And and, and Chewie and Leia. And like, I love them.
• 19:49

  Hans like, yeah, you're a real hero.
• 20:03

• 20:06
  At each other's asses the entire.
• 20:08
  You know. No.
• 20:11
  Could we just get back on track insult?
• 20:13
  Yes, I enjoy Lando's character because there's a lot there in a
• 20:19
  character that we don't see a lot of.
• 20:21
  Yeah and portrayed perfectly and of course love them in the
• 20:25
  sequels. But yeah, I just Just I enjoy
• 20:28
  like when they first get there and his interactions with Lando.
• 20:31
  Yeah, that would be one of my honorable mentions.
• 20:34
  That's amazing. I love it.
• 20:35
  How about you -? I've talked about in a previous
• 20:38
  episode. I'm sure the whole when they're
• 20:42
  trying to break Leia out of prison and he's like
• 20:46
  everything's fine here situation normal.
• 20:48
  Oh yes, yeah. Andy, how are you?
• 20:51
  Yeah, well done good ad-libbing on it seriously, and the whole
• 20:56
  like boring. Asian anyway it's like we've all
• 20:59
  like been in situations like that.
• 21:01
  Yes, we all have every company meeting on Zoom at this point.
• 21:09
  Yeah, situation normal. Don't pay attention to my
• 21:12
  backyard. Nothing.
• 21:13
  Nothing to see here. Like my God, I just love the way
• 21:16
  he delivers all those lines. It's so fucking perfect.
• 21:19
  The delivery. I'm telling you it Harrison
• 21:20
  Ford. There's no one else that could
• 21:22
  play this no one. He wasn't even.
• 21:24
  He wasn't even supposed to play the part.
• 21:27
  He was just helping George. Lucas read lines, and they're
• 21:30
  like we're really liking this guy.
• 21:33
  Give him a job. It was meant to be.
• 21:35
  It was absolutely meant to be. Yeah, you want to know my other?
• 21:39
  Yeah, what else have you got? It's also an Empire Strikes Back
• 21:41
  because Empire Strikes Back is everything to me.
• 21:43
  It's the best. How amazing is it?
• 21:46
  When they go into the dining room area, Lando leads him into
• 21:49
  the dining-room and there's fucking Darth Vader.
• 21:51
  We're talking Darth Vader at the end of the table.
• 21:54
  And what does Han do, doesn't even blink?
• 21:56
  He pulls out the Blaster and shoots at the man.
• 21:59
  Who else would do that? Honestly immediately without
• 22:03
  thinking? Yes, all.
• 22:04
  Oh, that's it. He protect.
• 22:06
  Yes, he attack. He protect me.
• 22:15
  I love that scene. He's a hero.
• 22:17
  Whether he wants to be, or not the look on his face when Vader
• 22:20
  just like pulls the gun out of his hand, his eyes.
• 22:22
  Like what the fuck? Yeah, it's like, oh, I forgot
• 22:25
  who I was shooting at Hoops on the later.
• 22:28
  It's like my girlfriend's dad is real scary.
• 22:31
  Yeah, I'm gonna rethink this. What am I getting myself into
• 22:36
  God? Talk about family.
• 22:39
  Baggage the Christmas parties are much different with the
• 22:41
  Skywalker's, much different good, but I just love that
• 22:47
  because he, he shoots first. Thanks second.
• 22:50
  Yeah, always. And even when it's Darth Vader,
• 22:53
  but he steps in front of Leia. Isn't does he hold her hold her
• 22:56
  hand or something but he steps in front of her.
• 22:58
  Yeah. Like he's a natural protector.
• 23:01
  Han shot first. Yeah always it doesn't matter if
• 23:04
  the bolt made it to the you know the man in Black it he still
• 23:08
  shot. At first, how badass is Vader in
• 23:10
  that scene. I'm sorry.
• 23:12
  So yeah, this is so polite. He's like we would be honored if
• 23:15
  you would you I don't know what happened after those doors
• 23:19
  close. Don't you?
• 23:20
  Yeah. Well, they would have said,
• 23:22
  torturing everybody apparently. Yeah, poor hon.
• 23:26
  But yeah, I had a really hard time and I'm pretty sure I still
• 23:30
  went back to Leo after all that. Yeah, because that's love.
• 23:34
  What is love? It's real love.
• 23:37
  I love hon. I know I do too.
• 23:39
  You just said it. I said I love hot air like I
• 23:43
  know we didn't have that plan. Folks.
• 23:46
  We did not have that planned. Nope, that's just what happens
• 23:49
  when you start to embody the characters.
• 23:53
  I love it so much you have anymore.
• 23:56
  Yeah, I love in Empire. Strikes Back.
• 23:58
  Also the scene where he's rescued Luke and they're back
• 24:03
  in, Hoth base and he's giving Leo a really hard time.
• 24:06
  She says he's scruffy-looking, but then when Yes, chewy laughs
• 24:10
  at him and he's like, laugh it up, fuzzball.
• 24:13
  Yeah, yeah. It doesn't matter what Leia said
• 24:15
  to him. It's the fact that chewy
• 24:17
  laughed. Yeah.
• 24:18
  Irritated him so great to, you know what, I love more than
• 24:22
  anything in a, in a good story. Our two best friends.
• 24:26
  Yes. Like the best friends who stick
• 24:27
  together for life. No matter also.
• 24:30
  Bicker like an old married couple.
• 24:31
  Yes. Yes.
• 24:33
  I love the friends like that. Yeah, and those two are like
• 24:38
  that. They You're like an old married
• 24:40
  couple but they love it. They would they would kill for
• 24:42
  one another. Yes, literally.
• 24:45
  And I love him and chewy I do too.
• 24:48
  I mean I just why it's so sad. It's so every single one of
• 24:53
  these things is so sad. Knowing like what happens?
• 24:56
  Dude, the last time I watched the sequel trilogies, like it
• 25:00
  was horrible. The chewy watched on die.
• 25:02
  And then when he finds out, Leia, dies, and chewy starts
• 25:06
  screaming and like falls on the ground, I just leave Falling on
• 25:09
  the ground. Yeah, awful, terrible.
• 25:11
  Crying like a baby. I was like, this is just too
• 25:15
  much. It's too sad.
• 25:16
  Well, if you recall Leia didn't really like chewy too much, you
• 25:21
  know, this walking carpet, get this walking carpet out of my
• 25:25
  face or whatever she says. Yeah, I love that.
• 25:28
  A princess or talk. That way, that was so great for
• 25:31
  me as a kid growing up me to to have a feat like a strong female
• 25:36
  who just didn't give a shit. Yeah, Carrie.
• 25:39
  There's delivery. I mean, she's tiny, which makes
• 25:41
  it even better. Yeah.
• 25:43
  It's cause she was this little like, pipsqueak of a human and
• 25:46
  big presents, right. Yeah.
• 25:48
  She's talking to this 7-foot Wookie, you know.
• 25:52
  I just love the whole it like well thing is so Keys.
• 25:54
  They're known for ripping people's arms out of the second.
• 25:57
  She's like, yes. Walking carpet out of my way.
• 26:00
  Yeah, the reluctancy of their friendship that, you know, that
• 26:05
  just grew over time. Yes.
• 26:08
  I just It's sweet and I love it. He's forever tied to haunt.
• 26:12
  So she would always see a little bit of Han every time that she
• 26:15
  looked at chewy, you know. Yeah, yeah.
• 26:18
  It's it's so beautiful and so painful.
• 26:21
  It really is. Do you have any other honorable
• 26:23
  mentions? Those are basically it.
• 26:25
  They're all good. I mean there's so many
• 26:27
  one-liners right? Like fly casual.
• 26:30
  Yeah, fly casual and I love the scene where he floats away with
• 26:35
  the garbage like you know, they attach themselves to the Starter
• 26:39
  and then they just how he does the thing with the fingers, like
• 26:41
  will just float away with the garbage like, yes, you know,
• 26:45
  it's a good. It's a good plan.
• 26:46
  He's so smart and people kind of forget that you can't be a good
• 26:50
  pilot and an idiot like your brain.
• 26:52
  No has to be able to compute things and apparently they said
• 26:55
  like I've read that because Han does a lot of his calculations
• 26:59
  himself. He's like super intelligent.
• 27:02
  Yeah, I definitely and just because he's a little unpolished
• 27:06
  does it make him unintelligent and that That's that's the thing
• 27:09
  he's plotting. He's thinking he's calculating,
• 27:12
  yes, but but he also cares and that's a really great
• 27:16
  combination to have. Yeah.
• 27:17
  And you see the character growth that takes place.
• 27:20
  Yeah. Because he's still, he keeps
• 27:21
  things from getting sickeningly sweet, but he's still got a
• 27:25
  heart of gold. So it's like you know you can
• 27:27
  actually rely on him. He's not going to betray you,
• 27:30
  he's not double-crossing but he's also going to be like well
• 27:34
  that's stupid. I don't think that this is true.
• 27:37
  No, you want. Someone whose honesty you can
• 27:40
  appreciate like, appreciate like that when it's genuine and it's
• 27:43
  out of a place of caring, those are hard to come by and he has a
• 27:46
  good friend as well as a loyal friend.
• 27:50
  Yes, absolutely. Damn good character.
• 27:52
  Yes, we love him with amazing hair.
• 27:55
  The hair is all the hair. The Feathered.
• 28:00
  Oh, it's the fluffiness of it. And a little, the Crooked grin.
• 28:06
  His little smile, all the Harris.
• 28:08
  And Ford things that we love. Yeah, so turning it over to you
• 28:19
  as we always do. What is your favorite Han Solo
• 28:23
  moment? Can you narrow it down to one?
• 28:25
  We couldn't. It's really hard.
• 28:27
  So if you have more than one, let us know.
• 28:30
  There's so many to love. There's so many to appreciate
• 28:33
  even if it's just one of his one-liners.
• 28:35
  Yeah, he's just a, he's a gem of a Is he really is next week?
• 28:42
  Join us for some Darkness. Yes, we are going to discuss the
• 28:49
  idea of Sith ob1. Yes, we're going, they're gonna
• 28:54
  go there. It's long overdue, but I am
• 28:57
  excited. Sith Obi-Wan is a guilty
• 29:00
  pleasure for not, just us, but many, many people.
• 29:03
  Yeah, it's yes, it's never going to happen in Cannon.
• 29:06
  It hardly even makes any sense because He's so pure blah blah
• 29:10
  blah. This is yeah, this is what if
• 29:13
  you place? Yes, this is.
• 29:15
  So what? If for sure it's going to be
• 29:17
  fun. So last week on the show, we
• 29:20
  discussed the cave scene from The Empire Strikes Back and it
• 29:24
  seemed to be a favorite amongst people so far.
• 29:27
  It was definitely one of my favorite episodes that we've
• 29:29
  recorded and we get some really fun comments from Kenobi.
• 29:34
  Wolf on Instagram. He said regarding scenes or
• 29:38
  stories. I Don't get mortise, please.
• 29:42
  I've watched that are several times and while I kind of get
• 29:44
  it, I would dig a discussion on it from YouTube.
• 29:47
  And frankly, the whole quote balance of the force prophecy is
• 29:51
  confusing the Jedi held. Such optimism in the idea of the
• 29:56
  chosen one and bringing balance to the force.
• 29:59
  But they seemed ignorant to the fact that balance literally
• 30:02
  would mean light and dark would be stable and active.
• 30:07
  He also brought up these strange business of Padme, Amidala
• 30:12
  Pillar of Strength, Senator youngest queen of Naboo, dying
• 30:17
  of a broken heart and how that seems to be a bit pathetic for
• 30:21
  such a strong character and that there are theories out there
• 30:25
  that maybe Palpatine drained her life force to put it into Anakin
• 30:30
  or whatever. Either way, it has always struck
• 30:33
  me and Leanne as a strange scene.
• 30:36
  And I think that would be really fun to delve into honestly All
• 30:39
  of these suggestions Kenobi wolf would be so fun to talk about
• 30:43
  and we are definitely adding each and every one of these onto
• 30:46
  our episode list. So look out for these in the
• 30:49
  future, we will definitely have a deep passionate discussion
• 30:53
  about this. I know this might surprise all
• 30:55
  of you but Lee Anne and I have very strong feelings on all of
• 30:58
  these subjects. Thank you so much for writing in
• 31:01

• 31:03
