  Speaker 2: Hello everyone, Welcome back to another episode Star Wars Alliance,

  Speaker 2: your home and the geek ultimateized podcast Network for ay
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: and oh thanks Star Wars. I'm your host as always, Katie.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: I've got a nice glass of bourbon tonight because it's
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: just been that kind of week.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: I should have poured myself a glass of fla. I
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: have it. It's right there. I should have just done
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: it because I feel you. I'm right there with you.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: I have two pinch nerves in my back.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: But I don't feel that well right now.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: So yeah, but hey, it's my birthday Sunday, so you know, yay,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: I ever tell you Happy birthday? Play?
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Uh, I'm sure you didn't.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Okay, happy birthday, dude.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: I mean it's six months too late, but you know.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh my gosh. Why did I think your
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: birthday was last week?
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: That was uh, well, last month was Abby's and Amber
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: lens so okay, that's probably it. Y yeah, sorry, So
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: uh yeah, clearly you can tell that we have had
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: a day and a half already. So yeah, as you
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: can see on the title of this episode, this is
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: going to be our Tiers of the Nameless review of course,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: with these reviews, whoever is joining us, who is new
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: to Star Wars Alliance, we are changing things up for
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: our reviews. We are making it as spoiler free as
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: we possibly can. Now, by the time we are releasing this,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the book has already been out. This is different than
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: our normal reviews that we usually get arcs for ARC's,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: but we are still going to try and keep it
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: as spoiler free as we possibly can. There are moments
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: that we are probably going to want to talk about.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: We will warn you about those spoilers.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: We will try to save them for the end because
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: I know there's one in particular, specifically chapter twenty five
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: that we need to talk about.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Yes, indeed, but before we jump into.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Sorry, just as a heads up for everybody, I could
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: not find my kindle anywhere, so I have my hard
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: copy of the book, which I have not opened yet.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: So my notes are goodness knows where.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: I surprisingly have zero notes in this book, but I
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: am trying to remember specifically where things are. There was
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: a name drop in this book that we have heard
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: recently in other media of Star Wars that I'm going
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: to bring up as well. But there are specific things
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: that I want to talk about in this book. But
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: before we do that, of course, we always try to
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: do the news roundup. We try to look at what
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: has been talked about recently in the Star Wars universe
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: of all things, and as far as I can tell,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: one of the very first things I see on our
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: list of things to talk about is, according to the
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Hollywood reporters, film is considering making multiple seasons of Skeleton
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Crew unless the show receives poor viewership. I like how
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: they have to now you can't assume because like and
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: it pisses me off also, but uh, but yeah, considering
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: making multiple seasons of Skeleton Crew, and I think that
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: this like, of course, we have to take everything with
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: a grain of salt when it comes to Star Wars nowadays.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: But I personally think with the idea of the first
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: pitch of this show, it is Stranger Things within the
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Star Wars universe, I think that within itself can lobby
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: more seasons than your average pitch. Because of the strength
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: of what Stranger Things is at Netflix. You're bringing that
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: into the Star Wars universe. I think you can possibly
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: make more seasons of that. Of course, we have already
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: seen poor reception from the bigoted obnoxious, stupid people who
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: think they are fans of Star Wars, and you have
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: to remind yourself these people think they are fans of
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Star Wars, but they don't know what Star Wars is,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: So take that as you will.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Somebody, for example, y'all, somebody found a video of a
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: certain YouTuber who shall.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Not be because I saw this.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: This YouTuber had a positive live reaction to the Rise
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: of Skywalker, but now has turned on it with epic proportions.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought that was ho hilarious.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: I about died. I did not watch the video because
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: again I didn't know if it led to his channel
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: or what. I didn't want to give inviews.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: No, I literally just saw the video on Twitter like
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: it was just like a clip of the video, and
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: so okay, I was like, yeah, I can, I can
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: definitely watch this. But yeah, it goes to show what
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: people will do for clicks and to be in the
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: spotlight and change their entire personality for the sake of
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: those things, which is really really stupid in my opinion.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: And we're not saying you can't change your opinion, but
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: the way this got changed not the same, not the
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: same at all.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, exactly Skeleton.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Crew news has come out of, specifically a Hollywood Reporter
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: article entitled is Disney Batted Star Wars and Analysis, And
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: in it it talks about Skeleton Crew being already green
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: lit for multiple seasons unless it gets bad viewership. It
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: also talks about which was not officially announced, but it
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: talks about and how Wood Reporter is one of those
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: sites where it's like, Okay, we can believe you for
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: the most part. Yeah. So it says the Mandalorian came
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: from the Bandalorian came twenty twenty one spin off the
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Book of Bubbafet, which is where some problems with Franchise TV.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Franchise's TV efforts first emerge. So much about this brief
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: effort was weirdly clunky. Two Mandalorian episodes were inexplicably sandwiched
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: in the show's seven and they felt like a band
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: aid attempt to repair a struggling show. The Book of
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Bubblefet was originally a series, not a mini series, but
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: it was quickly considered concluded. It also says the fourth
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: season of Mandalorian was pivoted into the mid Laurian and Grogu,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: with no chance for the show to come back, which
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: we had kind of talked about last week.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and well now we are getting word that it
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: was due to the poor reception of season three. Yeah,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: which I think is really silly. Now, granted, we have
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: seen shows nosedive and never come back. The CW's flash
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: for one, it has become a meme. But guess what.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: The ten year anniversary of season one just came up
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: and people were praising the show like it was the
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: best thing that CW has ever crafted. But just a
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: year and a half ago we were all making fun
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: of it, like, you know, it's like the Inner is
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: not real life. And I think that studios need to
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: understand that there is a it. And I will admit
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: the Internet is a conundrum because they can turn a
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: meme into a wild sensation that drives movies to billion dollars,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: and they can do the complete opposite. I understand that
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: I totally do, but to base decisions like this, are
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: you now going to turn every TV show into a
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: movie when the like the first sign of a season
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: going downhill, like oh, you know, zombies and cheerleaders on
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Disney Plus is now getting a theatrical release after season
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: seventeen was horrible, Like it doesn't make any goddamn sense. Sorry,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: it just doesn't. So I think this is silly along
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: with obviously I don't know if it was in this
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: particular article, but because we're talking about Disney plus shows,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: we've also heard from I believe even McGregor himself stating
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: that they are currently exploring ideas for Obi Wan season two.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: This is where I am so confused, because wasn't there
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong the last two episodes. There
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: was a lot of controversy over those two episodes where.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: They or not, Yes, yes, there was.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I I what, I do not understand the deciding hand
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: over at Disney and Lucasfilm. I do not.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: I don't either, especially as it becomes more and more
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: clear that you and McGregor kind of stood on his
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: own when it comes to defending Moses Ingram. Yeah, and
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: like he basically forced the hand of the Star Wars
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: has got cut of team, and it was like, Okay,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: I'm not promoting the show. Basically it's probably what he
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: said unless you defend her and you post this video
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: because there's been nothing for the act like and even
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: even oh my gosh, what Jody Turner yes, Jody Turner Smith,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: who played.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: The leader of the which mother I forgot her. Yes, yes,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: she's like.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Called them out on it, and really, honestly, good for her.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Like that takes a lot of guts because basically everybody's
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: called them out on it secretly. But Jodie Turnsmith did
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: the right thing. She said, they've got to stop. Oh
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: my gosh, Twitter, come on, they've got to stop doing
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: this thing where they don't say anything when people are
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: getting fucking dogpiled on the internet with racism and bullshit.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: It's just not fair to not say anything. It's really unfair.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: It would just be nice if the people that have
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: all the money, whether that be Disney or any studio,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: we're showing their support and putting their feet down, say
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: this is unacceptable. You're not a fan. If you do this,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: make a really big deal. We're gonna get there. And
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: then she went on to say we're gonna get there
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: at some point, to that place where people stop having
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: a stick up their ass about people of color being
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: a part of ips that were created by white people,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: because you know why, we're never I want to stop
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: fucking participating. And that last part of paraphrase because I
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: can't read, but basically.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: And and the thing is, like, it is absolutely wild
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: that in twenty twenty two we are still having this conversation.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: A people, I'm I'm I'm not sorry for saying this,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: but people of color have existed for all of eternity,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Like they didn't just appear two years ago. They didn't
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: just appear out of nowhere like we've It's it's so
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: dumb because it only happens selectively. Also, which really pisses
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: me off, because you have people like the conundrum of
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Will Smith. I'll go ahead and say this. Will Smith
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: has been Hollywood's like poster boy sometimes and he's been
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: the meme of the Internet on the entire side of
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: the other side of the spectrum. People don't understand this
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: or people don't realize this. At one point, Will Smith
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: was so big in Hollywood. W B approached him to
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: be Superman. Did you know this?
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that. I was nodding along like I
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: knew that.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: I didn't know.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: That Will Smith was approached to play Superman. And he
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: even said, you gotta be crazy to think that a
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: black man can play a white man's superhero. And lived
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: to tell the tale. He knew the writing on the wall,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: which is why they ended up making his other superhero movie, Hancock, Yes,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: which is they shifted it and they're like, Okay, well
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: then we'll make another superhero just for you.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's quite honestly ridiculous, but like what gets
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: me and I know we're jumping around, y'all. I'm sorry,
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: but like this is just so the Secrets of the
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Clone Troopers came out. All right, y'all, we're gonna hit
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: our first ad break and we will be right back
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: in three two one, which is an in universe book
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: written by uh Captain Rex about clones, and it has
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: and we're gonna talk about the other part of this later,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: but it has in universe art of Sister, a trans
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Clone Trooper that was introduced in Queen's Hope. And so
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: many people have jumped on that artwork today and been
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: like why does this exist in Star Wars? Like I
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: can't believe you want to think like go looke basically
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: like all that stupid talk, and like it's just ridiculous
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: to think that, oh, yeah, Disney is doing this stuff
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: because they can't even like for books, like that's not
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: something that they're ever going to think about y'all, because
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, they can't even defend their people of color
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: and their LGBTQ members in live action TV shows, which
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: are like their top priority. No, right, like Disney didn't
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: have oversight into this. Otherwise Disney would have said no
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: to ever including her in Queen's Hope. So shut the
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: fuck up.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now, I do understand some people's criticism in a
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: more positive light. Star Wars Queers Watch posted and shared
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: uh this post and says, actually, don't like how it
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: makes it sound like Sister is unique. There should be
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: absolutely loads of trans clones. When looking in the retrospect
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: of how many clones there were in retrospect you could
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: pop probably you think like, yeah, there's probably more than
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: just one.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Uh So they do bring up a good point in that,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: and I would like to see that possibly like shown
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: in some sort of way that would make it meaningful
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: rather than just being like, oh, here's a quote, I
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: thing like a lot of people. Yeah there is.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Well, like to say the like not that there shouldn't
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: be multiple like transplones in the clone army, because you're right,
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: there's like tens of thousands of clones.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so you've.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Got a buttload. But who's to say Rex knew all
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: of the clones, like, so kind of putting it from
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: that perspective, like in all for all intents and purposes,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: she could be unique to Rex, but there could be
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: others out there of that Rex, it's never met, So.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: That's true. I didn't even consider that The Secrets of
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: the Clone Troopers was a story that was specific two Rex, Right,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: that's what the whole book is about.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because you have the Secrets of the Jedi, which
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: is written by Luke, and then you have the Secrets
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: of the Sith, which is written by Palpatine. So it
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: kind of makes sense that their mirroring that. I think
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: you even have like Secrets of Wookies. So yeah, they've
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: all just kind of picked a storyteller to tell those
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: stories from.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: So very nice. Oh alright book. Well, speaking of this book,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: since we're already on topic, the first little inkling of
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: this book that I had seen I shared into our group.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: The Secrets of the Clone Troopers, a new in Universe
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: book about clones written by Captain Rex, confirms that Rex
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: fought in the Battle of Indoor and provides the strongest
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: evidence of the biggest fan theory in all Star Wars
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: history has finally surfaced, and everybody, of course is you
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: guys probably know what I'm even talking about. This actor
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: that literally looks like Rex as an older Rex. They've
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: basically confirmed it here. They have a photo of him
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: in Secrets of the Clone Clone Troopers, and the one
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: little detail that I absolutely love about this photo is
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: the fact that he still has his arm like gom yeah,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: like his his little gauntlet with his Clone Trooper oh
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: yeah yeah. So it's it's it's very simple, like of
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: course you're thinking, okay, yeah, he looks like the actor
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: that was played in the uh Return of the Jedi,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: but it shows you right there that on his hand
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: and forearm is his actual Clone Trooper armor and it
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: actually has like the the tally marks of his kills.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: So I thought that was very very cool, very interesting.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: And now you can you don't have to say it's
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: head Cannon because now it's cannon well, and it's still like.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Not like super Cannon. But he's there at yeah Endoors,
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: So it's not necessarily that he's that person that's in
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: the picture from Return of the Jedi, but he might
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: as well be.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: He might as well be. They look exactly the same. Now,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: there's plenty of people out there that are trying to
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: like prove that like it's not him, and they're like, oh,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: see this dead clone that's actually him. I'm like, why
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: would he be wearing stormtrooper armor if he's fighting for
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: the rebels? Like that makes no sense of whatsoever. But yeah,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: I think that it's awesome. I think it's cool. But
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: from I'm there, Oh yes, other book news you shared
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: this the other day. In July of twenty twenty five.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Next year, Insight Editions will reprint all nine William Shakespeare's
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Star Wars books by Ian dosher Dasher. I think, I
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: think so, yeah, uh, And it was originally published by Quirkbooks.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: I always see these at Barnes and Noble, at Target,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: They're just like randomly there and they always have like
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: a discount sticker, and I'm always like, I want to
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: buy it, but like I can't really like give myself
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: like the go ahead to make that purchase right then
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: and there. But if these are reprints with like new
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: art and stuff, I might consider, like, yeah, give it
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: a try.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: If there's a box set, I might pick these up
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: just to like kind of have them in like the
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: full set, but I don't know if I would pick
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: them up individually. Yeah, that's my qualm. The last bit
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: of book news that we have is that there is,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: in fact an art book for Star Wars Outlaws and
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: it is coming July eighth, twenty twenty five, from dark
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Horse Comics.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Yes. Uh, I probably won't pick this up. I haven't
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: really been picking up the art books for the video games.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: I have to be selective in the art books that
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: I purchased because they are usually somewhat of coffee table books.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: I have a two year old it loves loves to
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: draw on everything, and I just I can't. She will
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: see paper and her brain will go like, oh I
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: can draw on that, and I can't. I can't make
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: that risk. I can't take that risk.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm slowly picking up my coffee table books from
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: the rest of the house and I'm putting because you know,
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: like that position where they're like on the hands and
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: knees and like rocking back and forth, like right before
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: they start crawling. Yeah, she's doing that.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be like it's your warning of like, hey,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: I'm about to be all over this house. Basically.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I realized that I made Amazon Prime purchases
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: for like solid foods day, but I didn't buy any
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: childproofing things. Probably should do that.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Ah, No, it's fine. Amberlyn has hit her head on
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: so many different things.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: I'm just like, I'm more talking about these bookshelves that
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: I don't want following on her.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: That is true, So I have legitimately seen and this
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: is actually something that I have seen being purchased while
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: I was working at a company that was doing office
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: furniture and stuff. You can buy anchors for your bookshelves
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: and have them installed.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: So that's what I'm gonna do.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: I have, That's what you should. I have all my.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: Childproofing stuff in a list because I wanted to do it.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: While I was thinking about it, I just had it hit.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: By on it.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: Sorry, random sidebooks. This is how my brain was.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: But other than that, there's only really one other thing
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: as far as the news goes, and it is our
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: first Inklings of Star Wars celebration going on next year.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Of course, we now have the art for the badges,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: which I didn't think was gonna be that big of news,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: but holy crap. They popped off when they released this,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: and I have to say I really dig this art.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Of course, if you are a fan of things like
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: William Shakespeare in Star Wars, you know how they've done
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: like the parody artwork for that to make it look
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: very Shakespearean. Here with these badges for Japan's Star Wars celebration,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: they have really leaned into that traditional Japanese art and
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: it looks phenomenal. I will say I think my favorite
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: two are Yoda and Ahsoka. I absolutely love those two
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: in particular. They look absolutely amazing.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Wait where is Yoda?
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Oh? Did you not see the Yoda one? It's not
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: here on the link for Star Wars dot com. Let
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: me actually find it for you, because the Yoda one
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: looks really cool because all I.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: See is Vader, Luke, Nando and Grogu and then Ahsoka.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I will actually Star Wars Holocron actually shared
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: it and so I'm putting it into the Star Wars
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Alliance chat right now.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna go ahead and present so we can
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: show the web page. So here is what we have
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: for Ahsoka. And I don't like how they kind of
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: did this with like the little zoom ins, because.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: That's why if you take it off of yours, I
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: can actually show you all of them here on the
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: hall cron in their full art. Let me actually see
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: here present share screen. There we go. Yes, yes, so
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: right here we have Darth Vader, we have Luke Skywalker
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: and Yoda. Yoda is meditating above a rock, which I
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: think looks really really cool. Then we have the Mandalorian
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: and Grogu as well as Ahsoka. And like I said,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: I think my face to our Ahsoka and Yoda, I
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: really like the way those.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: Look I look being able to look at them full badge.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: I really like the Luke Skywalker one actually mainly because
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: of the tree in the background, the Japanese maple that was,
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: And I think that just like sentimental reasons. I the
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: first two houses that I remember growing up at had
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: Japanese maples, and that was like my favorite tree to
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: climb on.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I really like the the fluidity of the way
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: these uh are drawn. Of course, that is, like I said,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: very traditional Japanese artwork. I'm not entirely sure that I
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: love the Mandalorian. I feel like they like it might
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: just be a little too loose for me. Considering he
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: is a Mandalorian. Uh, but I do. I like the
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Luke Skywalker one. The attention to like the the hand
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: of course being the metal hands, so he does have
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: uh it all black there, which I think is really
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: really cool. Uh. But yeah, absolutely love these uh and
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: I am jealous of anybody who is actually able to go.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: Okay, before we dive into the book review, actually Star
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: Wars Holocron publish their five top things that they learned
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: from the Secret to the Clone Troopers, oh okay, which
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: I found interesting. Okay, So the first one is Captain
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: rex Is in Return of the Jedi. It talks about
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: how Django Veet was in fact adopted into a Mandalorian
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: clan at a young age. So and then he earned
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: his armor. He didn't steal it or anything. And They've
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: got a screenshot of the whole page. I'm not reading
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: the quotes or anything, because I want if you buy
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: the book, I want you to be able to experience that.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: But and then it talks about how Doku drereclely hand
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: picked Django Fete as the source of the genetic material
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: and oversaw the creation of the army. And then it
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: also has some information about the Clone X operatives in
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: the Bad Batch, and there's obviously still a lot to learn,
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: but it reveals that Clone X operatives called themselves believers
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: and were willing to take their own lives to protect
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: the truth about their missions, and they were by the
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: Clone rebellion. They were called Shadows because they were such
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: stealthy devils. And then the final thing they talked about,
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: which isn't precisely new information, but it talks about what
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Rex was up to between Bad Batch and rebels, and
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: it said that he basically started a Clone rebellion and
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: since the Empire wasn't willing to provide help to the Clones,
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: then they had to take matters into their own hands.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: He was able to keep to the Shadows because the
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: Empire had thought that he had died, and so he
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: was able to form a network with soldiers like Echo
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: and Gregor, but then ended up recruiting new members and
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: had the regular support of road clones like Clone Force
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: ninety nine. So just to kind of sum up the
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: information for like interesting things out of the book, So.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, very very cool. I know that these were like
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: when this was first and Auns we kind of talked
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: about how like Oh, it may not be on our list,
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: because I know these are kind of geared towards a
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: younger audience usually. But I'm really liking the info that
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: is coming out of this book, so I might actually
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: pick it up and put it as part of my
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: collection for sure.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I've got all of the other ones,
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: so I'll put this on my Christmas list. Somebody can
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: pick it.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Up for me. All right, Well, let's go ahead and
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: jump into Tiers of the Nameless.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: We're going to go into our second ad break and
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: we'll be right back, guys.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: This is a fifty five chapter book, from page one
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: all the way to page five hundred, five hundred pages
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: exactly for chapter one to the end of chapter fifty five.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: This was a really nice read. Chapters were not too long,
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: it wasn't a huge info dump on majority of it.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: It felt very fluid with this book. Even we have
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: had conversations in the past when it comes to high
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: republic stuff about the issue with perspectives and if you know,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: it should be something that should be summered down a
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: little bit and whatnot. I did not have a problem
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: with the perspectives of this book. I think that each
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: perspective shared a really interesting take on the story itself. Uh,
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: but yeah, I think that there was a perspective in
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: here that was a little bit lacking and kind of
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: like for me was like, Okay, why have it in
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: there if it was lacking so much? And we'll get
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: into that when we start talking specifics. But Katie, overall,
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: what do you think about the book?
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: So just to kind of sum up my reaction, this
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: is probably my second favorite book in the whole of
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: the High Republic, probably right behind Rising Storm. Oh wow,
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: I felt the emotions with this one.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: George Mann explores Wreath to a degree I didn't know
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: as possible, and that's saying a lot because that's not
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: his original character. That's pretty raised character. And like I
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: and he talks about it in the acknowledgments part at
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: the end of the book, but he actually found a
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: brain lesion at the like when he was submitting the
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: drafts for this book, and so it kind of like
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: when he was writing this, it kind of evolved as
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: he faced that battle, like wondering if it was cancerous
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: or not. And I really like feel that journey with
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: this because like I feel like there's some moments where
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: it's like darkness, but then you have like this rising
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: hope in there and it feels like a personal journey.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: And that is what I like most about this book.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: We talk about, or I specifically talk about the hunt
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: for the happy ending for Star Wars, and there's a
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: lot of times when I read Star Wars that I'm like,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: I'm never getting the happy ending. I'm never getting the
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: happy ending. And even with this book, for a book
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: that's called Tears of the Nameless, this is probably the
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: closest thing to an happy ending that I'm gonna get.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: In Star Wars, there is a looming threat still. Of
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: course this is not the ending of the High Republic,
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: but we can definitely see that this is crawling to
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: what will be the ending of this story, and we
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: do get like I would say, like because there's a
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: lot of ca near the end, but the last four
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: chapters is like hope, hope, hope. The long stretch home
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: like this is like we're almost there, We're gonna fix this,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: like all of these different types of just like getting
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: all that emotion and like, oh, we're gonna get there.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: We're gonna get there. So I get it. I understand
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: that journey that you're talking about.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I do want to mention because I always forget
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: to talk about this as part of our reviews, but
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: I want to like make sure that I hit this
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: so we do have some LGBTQ representation in this book.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: Amadeo is revealed to be bisexual or pan sexual, more
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: likely because he talks about how he doesn't really care
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: who he finds attractive, just as long as they have
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: like a good personality. And then one of the Doris Dorian.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Dorian is a trans male. Uh he transitioned from a female.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: I can't remember if he had said very early, but
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: it was long enough in his life that he was
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: actually able to have like intense conversations with his family
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: about it. And he talks about that with Amadeo in
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: this very heavy emotional part of the story. And I
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: really liked how he Dorian saw that Amadale was going
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: through some stressful things and he's like, Hey, I'm gonna
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: relate to you, but not take this limelight away from
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: you in the sense of how you are feeling. We
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: are going to share in this moment so that we
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: both feel comfortable with each other, and then we're gonna
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: move on and we're gonna make this the best experience
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: that we possibly can.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it felt very natural conversation. Yes, to have it
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: didn't feel sheet worned in so I appreciated like having
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: those aspects in there.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: So yeah, yes, Uh, I'm trying to remember if there
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: was anybody else that was within that LGBT plus maybe
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: come back.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: I feel like Comac was like asexual, but that could
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: just also be Comac's personality.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: Obviously we have Leo's Leo.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: Established characters, but these two Amadeo has been established before,
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: but this was really Amadeo's and Wreith's book. Like, yeah,
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: they were here majority of the time when it came
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: to the perspectives of the story. So uh, I can
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: see why George Man wanted to expand a little bit
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: more about Amadeo than we've been able to see.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: From Yeah, and I want to go ahead and dive
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: into just like some minor critiques and I don't think
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: there really like anything particular with the book itself, but
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: like one of them is like they talked about when
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: the publishing initiative was announced, which I don't think you
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: were a part of the podcast at that point, but
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: they talked about when the publishing initiative was announced that
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: you could read like the young adult books or the
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: adult books and you would get a complete story. I
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: think they kind of left that behind, yes, or this
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: phase there's and like I've tried to like rationalize it
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: and go, oh, yeah, we could you could totally like
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: piece these together and get a full story. You can't
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: do that because like this book directly picks off after
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: Temptation of the.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Force, like it picks off right after Temptation of the Force,
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: but midway through it or not midway through, at the ending,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: it completely tells you like the latter half of uh
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: oh show where yeah be? Where the Nameless? Which, like
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: in my mind, I'm like, okay, Like the whole point
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: in a lot of these different books in our perspective
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: is especially for people like Travis. He's shown interest in
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: reading The High Republic. I don't remember how far behind
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: he is. I know that he wanted to skip phase
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: two in order to pick up on phase three, to
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: pick up where he left off where Phase one was right,
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: and so for him he was only reading the adult novels.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: This technically is not an adult novel. This is considered
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: a young adult novel. Yeah, so which I will probably
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: tell him, like, hey, you probably want to read this one.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: It has a pretty important thing that you will need.
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: And he liked Wreath because he did Breath into the
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: Dark because he likes Claudia Gray.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: Yes, so we will recommend this book. But like getting
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: that ladder half of Beware the Nameless could possibly be like, oh,
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: that kind of helps me out here. But if it
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: was somebody just picking up a young adult novel and
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: Star Wars, you're like, what in the world is going
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: on here?
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and not to mention like we've already talked about,
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, what is the manga?
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: The manga Uhede Balance?
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Edge Balance three. So Edge of Balance three features Wreath, Yoda,
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: and Aslin, but the Asla. So it's hard to picture
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: where this takes place in regards to that timeline. It's
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: like Egges of Echoes. I keep saying Echoes Edge Balance
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: three before or after this, because I feel like I
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: think it's be all.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: You think it's after.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: I feel like it's after.
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to read it again because I think
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: it's before. Because because and this is where we get
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: into small detailed spoilers not very big. The relationship between
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: Wreath and Aslan in Edge of Balance three seems a
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: little less confrontational than what we see at the very
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: end of this book.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: Right, But in that same regard, I feel like Aslyn
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: has a change of heart at the end of Edge
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: of Balance three. So that's why it's afterwards, because they're confrontational.
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: And then Aslen kind of has that moment with the
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: wooky Jedi mastered and just kind of goes okay, like
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: I have seen.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: More, but more so than that, more so than that,
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: we have already talked about it, so it's okay to
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: talk about it. An Edge of Balance three, he confronts
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: a nameless willingly yeah, because before he has always been
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: scared of the nameless, which is where he went down
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: the path of the dark Side previously.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: And Wreath in the ending chapters tells, as Hey, I
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: faced a nameless. I faced it. Uh, I can't remember
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: who said yeah, Okay he does, And so Asen's like,
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: oh my gosh, you faced it and you survived what
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: and so like to me, that doesn't speak of someone
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: who has faced a nameless and survived yet like he does.
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: An Edge of Balance three.
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: That is very true. That is very true. So you
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: might have just convinced me that it has it does afterward.
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: But that's also like a little critique of mine is
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: I was a little annoyed that this book was planned
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: on correct me if I'm wrong. This book was supposed
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: to come out before be where the name was correct
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: or no, no it wasn't.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: I think it was always set to come out after
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: BE where the name.
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: Was okay, because I thought you had said because you
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: finished the book before me, and you of course read
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: the acknowledgment and everything else, and you said the release
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: schedule or something had changed due to his condition.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: Oh no, I So I was talking about how they
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: potentially like lengthened Phase.
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: Three, like uh, okay.
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: To maybe help out a little bit while he had
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: all his skins done and everything, because everything, like for
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: the Higher Public, everything's kind of taken place over like
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: a year ish like for each phase and this one
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: taking place over a year and a half. So to me,
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: that's like and not to say that I blame them,
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: like we've already talked about this, but it was just like, so, yeah, so.
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: Trying to think of anything else less spoilerish, the one thing.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: And probably still a critique, but this is like the
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: last one I have is I thought Sicharis, which is
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: a Children of the Storm character in the book, so
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: we get to know a little bit about Boolin and everything,
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: and how the children in the Storm are developed into
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: kind of using that nameless power. We won't go into
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: that part, but I thought he could have been used
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: a little bit better, Like that's like my only critic.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: He was very much a mustache twirling villain. Yeah, you know,
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: And I am always a little bit annoyed by those
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: because I'm like, guys, come on, this is an entire
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: universe that we have built here with the High Republic,
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: Like there's so many tools at your disposal, Like we
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: don't need to use these stereotypes as far as villain
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: stereotypes to push a story along. So yeah, I do agree.
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: I feel like he should have been used a little
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: bit more strongly, and and the ending of that character,
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: let's you know, getting into spoilers, and I'm sorry, like
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: I always feel like that type of thing that happened
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: to him is like okay, like I guess, like, and
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: it's been happening a lot, like that's not the first
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: time that's happened.
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: I feel like we've added so many characters that sometimes
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: it feels like, Okay, we got to add this character,
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: but then like we've got to drop in mm hmmm.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: So it's the easiest way to just be like, hey this,
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: let's just make this happen, right.
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It was like I'm still hoping the publishing initiative
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: doesn't actually end with phase three, that other authors or
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: these authors are able to go back in and fill
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: in some planks.
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: Why.
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: I really want them to, Like I really do, and
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: I think that there's a lot of people that are
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: really willing to say, like, hey, let's keep going with this.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: We will purchase these books if you keep going.
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah. But it's also like Michael Siglane has also
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: talked about how they have something else planned.
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: I was literally going to say, both Tom and Michael
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: have told everybody, oh, don't worry, we have things planned.
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: But we already know that they have like the the
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: trilogy of the uh uh oh shoot, what is the
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: title of that trilogy called?
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: Uh We're gonna get more news about it this week apparently.
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw that in our Star Wars. Yes, they
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: have that coming up. You know fairly soon, and that's
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: that's way too separated from the timeline. So I'm just like, no, like,
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: don't go back to that.
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: That's not gonna be it. Like I am highly betting
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: that they're going to go into Star Wars Celebration and
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: tell us the bare minimum, like we are going to
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: get the project name, like we had Project Lubinus for
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: a full year before it was ever actually announced.
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: That's true.
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: So Star Wars Celebration and bending money on it, we're
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: getting something.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: Hopefully, hopefully. But I want to go specifically into chapter
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: twenty five.
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: All right, here's your spoiler heavy warning.
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: Yes, spoiler heavy warning.
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: And we're about to jump into our third ad.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: Y'all.
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: We promise we'll be right back.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: We promise this is for chapter twenty five, because I
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: also texted UK this morning saying or was it last night?
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: It was one of the two. I think it was
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: either last night or this morning, where I said I
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: only have criticism towards this book if there is no
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: answers for this specific thing, and I should have criticism
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: because they didn't answer it. But it looks like this
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: is going to be a stretched out plotline, which I
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: am totally okay with as long as it actually gets answered. So, guys,
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: in chapter twenty five we are we open up with
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: Wreath having a vision.
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: I loved this vision. It was so articular. It in
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: like haunting is like it was intense that man uses
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: and like, just go ahead and spoil it. It does
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: not get resolved by in the book.
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: It does not get resolved. But also you have to
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: remember you're you're saying, how like you love like how
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: creepy and stuff it was. Remember George Man did right
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: in phase two, the most terrifying book that we read,
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: and I hated it and you hated it, And now
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: you're looking at this and you're like it's so intense
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: and beautiful and disgusting and awesome and like, so here's
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: the thing. Reath has a vision and I need to
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: know because this, like magnum opus. My brain literally broke
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: in half when this vision took place, because I was like,
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: hold the fucking bone. They knew that the entire goddamn time,
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: and nobody has decided to say, hey, you know what,
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: there's time for renovations, or hey, maybe we should move
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: this temple over there, when there is not a goddamn
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: Sith freaking temple underneath us what wait?
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: Oh wait, we knew that already. That was revealed an
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: end of the Dark.
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: But that's the thing. This whole time, they're just like, yes, there,
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: so what right, right?
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: But they're trying to recover the virgins that's there because remember,
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: like the Sith built the temple there specifically because of
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: the virgins. So the Jedi won the war and tried
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: to take over the Sith temple so they could re
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: purpose the virgins for the light.
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: A man forgotten that little bit. But I'm reading this.
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: I'm reading this and I'm like, your's new to your door,
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: Like I'm getting frustrated, but also like, okay, there's got
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: to be like something to this, like right, So Reith
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: is like, I gotta tell someone, and I'm like, okay,
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: he's gonna tell Like this is me relearning that everybody
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: knows about this, right without me actually relearning because I
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: just forgot. So then he goes to Vernestra, and Vernestra's like, oh,
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: you mean the Sith temple And I'm like, you know too,
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: what's wrong with everybody here? You are all just as
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: bad as Yoda? What the hell? And so They're just like,
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: let's go check it out. And they are wowing down
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: these steps, just chilling. They're like, we're going to the
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: set tempo. We're going to sit temple.
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yah, Clay's got tears come out of my
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: eyes on that.
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: And they go to this temple and it starts to
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: get really intense, like don't get me wrong, like it
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: is like Vanessa's feeling very weary about it. Reith is
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: feeling very weary about it. Like they're pulling out their
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: light sabers, they're ready to attack, and like Vanessa's like,
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: what's on the other side of this door and Reithe's
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: like no, And they open the door and there's nothing.
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: In the vision, Reith basically saw himself as the way
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: that Aslin is today, sunken in eyes, no eyeballs, like
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: the whole shriveling up. Like basically he saw himself as Asla,
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: and so he's like, this is this, this is gonna
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: be very wrong. There's something behind here that just doesn't
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: feel right. They open the door and there's nothing there
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: and they're like oh. But then like when their eyes
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: started to really focus and like the light started to
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: shine inside of the temple.
• 52:58
  Speaker 4: They're like, oh, blight, And then I felt like throwing
• 53:04
  Speaker 4: this book out the freaking window because I'm like, the
• 53:11
  Speaker 4: blight is in corusant underneath the temple.
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: It's never revealed how the blake gets.
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: There, and that is the answers that I need. And
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: this is why I'm like semi pissed off. But also
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, fine, this is an ongoing story blah
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah because small spoilers for the ending
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: of the book. The investigation keeps going as of why
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: this is happening all of and again this is why
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: I think, like I'm totally on the side of Adrian.
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: Jedis are cops. They're not great cops. They are bad cops. Okay,
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: they know that this viral infection that is that is
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: a world destroyer is on their planet and they're like,
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: don't tell anyone. We're not gonna tell anyone.
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: And they choose to use the so they're trying to
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: hold it back with the blight method that Burri Yoga
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: picked up in Temptation of the foresh.
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, And I'm like, Okay, that's interesting. But then this
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: asshole name Yoda is using this technique along with three
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: other Jedi and Vernestra one day is like, hey, Yoda,
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: I know I shouldn't be here and like destroying your
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: concentration or whatever, but I really feel this and I
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: really need to, you know, you really need to talk
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: to somebody about it. And Yoda's like, don't worry about it.
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: I could talk. And as soon as his concentration like
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: just stops on the blight, you like the way George
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: Man describes it, every other Jedi just starts to like
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: slump over and it's like ruggling in and Vernessa's like, Yoda,
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: I think you need to help these people. And Yoda's
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: like they got it. They're good. Like they are. Yoda
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: is an asshole, my god.
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: I'm like he just likes to have faith in the
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: people around him.
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: This thing literally destroying worlds, destroying entire ecosystems, killing millions
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: of people across the galaxy, and Yoda's like, it's fine, cool,
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: I'll get back to it. It'll be it's not like
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: it's going anywhere. I'll be there in a second. I'll
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: fix it, you know, Like what an asshole?
• 55:54
  Speaker 4: How go?
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: Like? This dude is totally a free jerk. I was like, Yoda,
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: I've done with you man, Like I have made this
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: joke about him being the worst character in Star Wars
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: for so long. I think this did it. This totally
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: was just like the icing on the cake. Like I'm
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: like whatever, man. And you don't see him again after
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: this incident. You know, you hear him in reference of
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: like Vanessa saying like, oh, I'll talk to the council
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: or whatever. But after this one incident of him just
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: like totally like sidestepping these the other Jedi and letting
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: them just basically probably die. Uh Like, it's just like whatever.
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: But that's the thing. This thing is slowly taking over
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: the Temple and they're using this technique to hold it off.
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: And we're not gonna say how they are able to
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: hold it off for so long, but like it's still growing,
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: and of course we know that there's still a chorus
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: hunt and there's still a Jedi tiple by the time
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: that Obi Wan is a master and Anakin is in
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: the temple and all the other things.
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: How the like this is where up in three books.
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: That's my thing. That is my thing because we learn
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: quote unquote learn it's honestly just relearning the secret of
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: how to stop the nameless. But like the.
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: Staff that Marcion bro carries, like.
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: We we see like these revelations that like Ritha's having
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: in his lab. It's like, oh man, it's gonna be
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: this thing, and like this all this research, like I'm
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: so close to the answer, and it's like, are you
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: telling me that we knew the goddamn answer the whole time?
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: Well, we the audience knew it.
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: Yes, But here's here's the problem that I have. The
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: staff we have seen stops or prevents. I'm not gonna
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: say stop because it hasn't proven. We haven't seen that
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: it proves anything. Because look at the mother in Phase two.
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: She double edged sword here was using herself as a
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: feeding tube for the nameless as well as finding it
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: off with these things, So like is it really something
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: that can stop them or like you know, like right,
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: but that's not the blight. And that's the other thing.
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: We see Wreath and Amadeo come up with this hypothesis.
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: Oh they're one and the same, you know, And they are,
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: but they aren't right, Like that is just very clear,
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: like hey, one comes from an actual living thing, while
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: the other just manifests and destroys planets. So like in
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: my mind, I'm like, how the hell you can see
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: physically through this thing that was able to see? Okay,
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: this staff stops these monsters creatures because there's Afy and
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: wreath both like see some sort of humility in these creatures,
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: and they're like, okay, they're also being used as weapons,
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: which I totally understand, which I get it right, But
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: the blight is not a creature that you can just stop.
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: And That's what I'm wanting to know, like, how is
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: this going to be resolved in a and in a
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: sense like cause for us, let's let's go into real
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: life for a second. The blight in my mind, and
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: I even said this when Wave three was kind of
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: shown as this, like, oh, the sickness is going to
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: be taking over the galaxy. I even asked you, is
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: this way too close to home with COVID? With COVID,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: it's a virus and we know, okay, we fight viruses
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: with viruses, vaccines and all of this. There is science
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: with this. The blight is taking on such an entity
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: of organic natural things, like how is it? How are
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: we going to take care of this in universe? That's
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: not going to feel like, oh, we fixed it, you.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: Know, and this should be our final ad break. So y'all,
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: thanks for bearing with us. We appreciate y'all. We'll be right.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: So my thought process is is so okay. So the
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: Echoes of Fear is where I keep getting echoes from.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: That's a comic run that's done by George Mann talking
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: about the stones that we saw barnabas Vim looking for
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: in Phase two. Yes, and so in that regard, my
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: thought process is is there's three stones, and so marcion
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: Roe's staff contains two of them, we think, and so
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: there's another one out there. So potentially uniting all three
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: stones based off the Talamites that we get to not
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: meet but also sort of meet in this book, my
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: thought process is reuniting those stones and returning all of
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: the nameless back to their planet. That stops all of
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: the blight. It doesn't get rid of it like we
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: see on the Tallomites home world. There's a metal that's
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: stopping the blight on the home world. So my question
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: for you, because that metal does not get a name
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: in this book, is that correct?
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: Correct? It just says an ore?
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: Is this the reveal or the first time we see cortosis,
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: and cortosis has multiple uses.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: I was thinking the exact same thing, because the way
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: and we also saw that, you know, a different way
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: to use kyber in this book as well as coffins.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: That was interesting. But the idea of cortosis being introduced
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: here as a nulla fier to the blight, that would
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: be interesting. But the again, and this is just a
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: victim of writers having ideas after the fact. Right, Oh,
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: courtrusis is a thing, so I'm going to find an
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: origin for it, right, That's just unfortunately how things are
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: created sometimes. And so we only see very small portions
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: of cortosis in Canon currently, and we are now about
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: to find a huge reservoir of it to save an
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: entire galaxy. That's my issue that I don't.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: I don't think we've only seen it in small bits though,
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. So, yeah, there's a whole mine
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: in uh the throng plant in yep, and then we
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: see a small vein in the acolyte mm hmm so
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: and then like in a doctor Afra, there's like she
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: has a full on cortosis blade so mm hm. And
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: that's what she uses to battle Darth Vader. So I'm thinking, like,
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: we only saw it in a small vein, but that
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: in Acolyte. But that's only because we only saw that portion.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, very true. I I think it would be cool.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: I think that it's a good introduction to krotosis, and
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: it would make sense. See it does and does not
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: make sense because here's the thing Wreath. And again this
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: is a double edged sword in the sense of like
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: how you make these characters before and after the fact
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: of how things already are in the Star Wars universe. Right,
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: Wreath is a character that we have seen in this
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: book say, hey, this isn't for the glory of myself.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: It's for the you know, it's the survival of the galaxy. Right.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, Wreath is a scientist. He's
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: going to dissect every little piece of new thing that
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: he can find, and he is he gets so excited
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: about these things. So for this or and for cortosis
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: and all of these other things, like for things like
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: the acolyte, I feel like, because this is taking place
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: before the Acolyte, Jenn, I should know what cortosis is.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: You know, right, But that accolldees one hundred and fifty
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: years later.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: I understand, and you're right. I mean that bastard Yoda
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: is hiding all the information from all of his Jedi
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: that these dudes are gonna die anyway, might as well
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: keep all of his information for myself. Sorry, I still
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: can't get over that, dude.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, Vernestra would know what cortosis is exactly.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: And that and well, and I think that would make
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: a little bit like a little bit more of an
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: intriguing conversation for a season two people and flashbacks on
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: why he decides to get a cortosis helmet through the
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: stories of Vernestra telling him, Oh, there was this one time, right.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: And I'm not saying it is cortosis. I just had
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: a theory.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: It's a theory, yeah, And I'm not trying to like
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: dissect and destroy the theory. I'm just saying, this is
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: how the theory could work, and it couldn't work. These
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: are two different things.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: And I don't think there's anything wrong with giving it
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: an origin story.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: Ye, So yeah, I think that it would be very interesting.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: One other thing, as far as topics go, I've always
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: said how I love the very fantasy things in science
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: fiction and in fantasy novels. We get to see a
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: titan in this book, Like, and I say titan, Like,
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: you remember how big the Bindu was in Rebels. I'm
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: just gonna say this, guys, think of a Titan. Think
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: of Godzilla. There's a Godzilla in Star Wars. They've introduced
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: a Godzilla in Star Wars. Now it's not actual lizard
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: like Godzilla, but think of size of Godzilla. They've introduced
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: it in Star Wars.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: So like to give people a picture, like, have you
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: seen Avatar the Last Airbender? Like the animated one.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: The animated one? Yes?
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: Have you seen Cora?
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: Okay, so you know the episode where they talk about
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: the creation of Bending and these giant turtles with like
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: the yes islands, Like I'm basically thinking.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: That, oh no, it's bigger than really you think it's
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: bigger if you if you go back and read, there
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: is a moment there's three different times that they explain
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: the size of this thing. Yeah, one wreath is explaining
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: the feet, and then they explain the head, and then
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: they explain the spine. If you are thinking it out,
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: you can literally see the expansion of this creature. This
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: thing is massive to the point of it creating earthquakes
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: on the planet that they are on.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 3: I guess I.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: Would have thought that the Avatar one was similar because
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: but I've always had trouble like picturing depth and everything.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: Like because because the way that they describe it, and
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: I know, we're kind of getting more into spoilers, but
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: there's this creature that they thought was a mountain at first,
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: and then he describes, Oh, that peak that I thought
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: was a mountain, Oh, that was only a piece of
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: its spine. If you think of a whole spine, think
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: of one piece of it, think of where its head
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: might be.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: At that point, okay, you're like, holy crap. And then
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: they are explaining with every step the entire core of
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: the planet is shifting and shaking, and then at one
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: point it kind of makes it seem smaller. But then,
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: like you really start to read this thing, the Nameless
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: decide to go after it. It's like ooh food, and
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, you're dead. And it never even like
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: concludes with like, oh the Nameless dies, like it literally
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: the Nameless jumps on its back, and it eventually is
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: just like I'm going to go back in the water,
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: and then you're gonna drown, like and it never resolves.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: It they just like run away because they're just like
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: we're not they used to deal with it exactly. And
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: I like the fact that I like we got to
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: see basically Godzilla in Star Wars. That makes me happy.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: I'm like, this is freaking phenomenal. Like, and it gets
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: to a point where like these things are so strong
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: in the Force and so dormant in how they were
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: just resting on this planet, Like just communicating with it
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: like exolves Wreath of almost all of his energy. Like
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: He's like, this is taking literally everything out of me.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, he feels like this is
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: the strongest thing in the Force that he has ever
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: felt in his entire life. Like that's cool. Like I
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: was getting goosebumps and I was getting really giddy like
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: reading this whole thing, I was like, this is so cool.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I really dug this book. As far as
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: naming it, I think it might be top five. I
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: would really have to go back. I think after phase
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: three is completely over, I think I'm gonna go through
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: a full reread. I think I'm gonna go from Light
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: of the Jedi all the way to Trials of the Jedi.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: I think so too, And I think we need to
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: try to get the minoch manner guys on so we
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: could all do like a giant breakfest or something.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that would be really, really fun.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: So we need to talk about the elephant in the
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: room though, And I think this is the last thing
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 2: we need to talk about, because we talked about how
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: Reet had great character development, Amadale fantastic, But we need
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: to talk about one character we have not mentioned yet.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: Oh well, I guess we did technically mention him. Anyways, Komak.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: I thought the way that Comac was reintegrated in the
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: flashback sequences that we get for Comac was it cred
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 2: It really speaks a lot into the imposters room that
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: Comack faces. And you saw it. You see it in
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: every book that Comak has really been in that he
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 2: deals with that imposter syndrome that Okay, I have faith,
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: but do I have faith? But like really and just
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: articulating that instance with Orla, by the way, I love
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: getting Orla back, like she was gone too soon? Like
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 2: can we please have her back? Like Orla please?
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: I And we almost did it, We almost did. I
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: got really excited I did too, and I was like,
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: there's no way, it makes total sense that out of everybody,
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: she would be the one to do it right. Yes,
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: And I was like this is amazing, Like this would
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: be so fun as like oh the one and only
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: because she has connections to l Zar to Cormac, Like
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: it would be so good and I really wanted it
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: to happen. I kind of got a little upset when
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: like it wasn't real and I was like I did
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: d like why did you do this to me, George?
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I really enjoyed that moment.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: What did you think about Comac during the whole book?
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: You call it an elephant in the room, And I
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: don't know how I feel about it, because, like you said,
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: he has this imposter syndrome. There was like it was
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: a huge moment for him to just hand over his
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: lightsaber and go walk into the jungle and then him
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: just disappear right and then we just see him randomly
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: on this planet. He gets hunted by this Jedi hunter
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: and then he's like, I have to go home, but
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: is it really my home? I'm not entirely sure. And
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: then he has these like awkward conversations with Wreath and
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: at the very end they're like, oh, he's gonna stick
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: around for a little while. We don't know for how long,
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: but it is what it is. And like then him
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: and Reath to have this like they in the book
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: with Oh, don't worry, I'm here, And in the back
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: of my mind, I'm like, until when.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 5: Because it's gonna come back, though I I don't know how.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: I feel about that, due to the fact that we've
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: seen other Jedi walk away and they've had this idea
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: of like coming back but not coming back I mean famously.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, she came back at the worst time ever.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: But look at Asoka. She's like, I'm not really back,
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: but I'm back, And then like Order sixty six and
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: she's like shit with Cormack, I I think I'll be
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: okay because Wreath is okay, because I think Wreath overall
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: was really struggling. Like my boy was like he was
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: having an identity crisis without Cormack, and just like the
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: really awkward thing was from time to time he was
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: just like Master, Master Master, and he's like, oh, it's
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: just Cormack. It's just Cormack a lie and like trying
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: to kind of separating him. But not really separating from
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: him because he still wanted to be there for Breath.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: But in the end they're like having just normal conversations.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: I think I think he will be there for the
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: ending of this face as a Jedi Master, so I
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: think it'll be fine.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 2: But like I think he's going to get a council spot.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: Do you think he'll get a council spot? Huh? Well,
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: you know, I I mean, you can fail upwards. I guess, yeah,
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: you left, you left the Jedi Order. Welcome to the Council.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: But that's that's what Yoda does. I mean, you did
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: that with oh my gosh, what's what's the Jedi Master?
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: That was Lula's Lula talas Las.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: Yes, no, you're totally right, yep, can't sigh.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: That's what it is. That is what he did, and
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: it's basically just part of your journey. And that's what
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 2: I think Comaxon is a journey.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, I guess, uh, okay, gosh.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 3: I was gonna say one more thing. Okay, I can't
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 3: remember what I was gonna say, and.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 2: It was something completely different. So it wasn't even like
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 2: something that you could go like, we'll pat me back
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: on track.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: It This was a great book, guys. I think that
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: you will have a lot of fun with it. It
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: is a very intense, very sad, very hype in so
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: many different ways of this book. I'm sorry, I'm gonna
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: spoil this one thing. I'm just gonna say, rip Mester locks. Yeah,
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: in the worst possible way, like like with a smile
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: on his face and everything, like I ripped my heart out.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: It my heart out.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I remembered, I remember it. So you talked about
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 2: a name drop? Were you talking about barnabas them? No?
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: I was talking about cause again, remember I didn't remember.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: So when I saw the Virgins, I was like, yeah,
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: I go, I I remember what a vergence was. And
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh, they're talking about virgences. This is cool.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: But you're over here like, yeah, we knew this play,
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: Like are you an idiot? Like what's wrong with you?
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: And I'm over here like I don't know.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 2: Here we go. I'll tell you. The only reason I
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: remember is because we talked about it with the act
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 2: Lite and I looked up to see because I thought
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: we had had like this wasn't the first appearance of
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: a virgence, and so I looked it up. Then and
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: that's when I read the Wikipedia article that allowed me
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 2: to remember.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So like I saw at the very end
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: of Vernestra talking about a virgens and I was like, oh,
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: it's there, it's there. Cool, And then you're over here,
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: like Clay, we knew this. It's like the fuck I
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: don't remember.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: Oh I remembered one more thing. Sorry, this is the
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 2: last thing I swear because I'm ready for bed, as
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 2: you can tell, because I'm getting like this weird energy thing. Okay,
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: so a spy stop looking at me like that. A
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: So somebody reveals to Boolin that Wreath and Komac are
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: going to the Tolmites homeworld.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: Yes, this goes along with my whole like it's not
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: revealed thing and answers still need to be answered. What
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: do you think it is?
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's Aslin.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: I think I don't think it's Aslin either.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 2: I think they put the communicator station there to make
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 2: it look like Aslin.
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: I so Aslin is too obvious, like it's it's Aslin
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: is like the hey, look over here, look over here,
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: I'm over here. Look look and it's it's not as
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: if it's Yoda. I completely understand, but like, I don't
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: think it's Yoda. Guys, Yoda has been the Dark Lord
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: the entire time. That is, that is the secret to
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: Star Wars. That is the secret to Star Wars. Palpatine
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: was just a face.
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 5: Okay, I didn't think I'd laughed as much in this review.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know who it is though. That's the thing
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: that pisces me off, like I because they make it
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: very subtle. Okay. So the reveal of the Jedi Temple,
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: the Blight and all of this stuff comes at chapter
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: twenty five, and then we start to see a little
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: bit more of Brenestra down near Aslyn's chambers, which is
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: where you see the communication room, and it's it's just
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: the way George Man plays it is like, oh, you
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: see Bullin have this conversation. Then they go on the mission.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: You hear the transmission again, and then like if you're
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: not paying attention, you're like, oh shit, hold on a second.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: There's somebody within the Jedi Temple beating information. And here's
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: the thing. Here's the thing. I'm gonna mention something that
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: is technically cannon in Star Wars, but not within the
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: timeline of High Republic we know that in the Red Blade, okay,
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: the Janitor was in on the secrets of the Temple
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: and all of this other stuff, right, and like we
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: know that eventually Palpatine will get in there and everything else.
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: The Jedi Temple is really old. I mean, the Sith
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: Temple is very old. The Sith Temple is very old.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: What if this is to let steeds of like the
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: very early inklings of the Sith making their first steps
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: to take over and all of this. I don't think
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: so you don't think so, or do you think it's
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: gonna be resolved.
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 2: I think it's gonna get resolved.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell you just what I wanted to
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: put on my tinfoil hat on for a little second
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: because it was immediate like, oh, you know, it could
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: be the Janitor and I was like, that's stupid, but
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: it could be.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 2: It could be.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: But and here's the thing though, Like if it's not
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: somebody that is already pre introduced, if it's not a
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: pre existing character, I'm gonna feel let down because it's
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: like I don't know who that is. That's not a
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: big impactful thing. Who cares? But that I know that's
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: gonna hit a lot harder.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 2: Someone tell you who I think it is. And it's
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 2: specifically because of one line in this book. So Master
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 2: rye Kisaka comes to Breathe after the council meeting where
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 2: he talks about Aslin and is like, don't trust as.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he plants the seed. He's like, I don't think
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: you should do it. Like, remember he's not looking for
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: your best interests. And again we see a lot of
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: that in this book. But I think it's only to
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: deter the reader from thinking, oh, it's Aslan who's doing it.
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And because remember ry Kisaka was like he was
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 2: put into I think it was the Art of the
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 2: Higher Republic as a grand Master, but then in Characters
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 2: of the Jedi, he wasn't a grand master, and then
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 2: he got promoted like during the year between phase one
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 2: and Phase three as a grand Master. So he's kind
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 2: of risen up and everything. But what if he got
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 2: got and that's why he disappeared and like came back
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 2: and so he's a secret children of the Storm.
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: Oh I never considered that.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 2: It just got to be because I thought that was what
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 2: was gonna happen with Eve, was that Eve was going
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 2: to go in and then they were gonna send her
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 2: back out as so.
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: And that's and that's why I think your theory has
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: a lot to it because the uh I forget his name,
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: the Jedi Hunter ciitaris kept on reiterating like, oh, I
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: need a live one, like this is gonna be a
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: good test for father. I need a live one. I
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: need a live one. I'm like, and I'm thinking, like,
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: why do you need a Jedi that's alive? Like there's
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: there's nothing in previous books.
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 2: It's all in the comic, the Marvel comic. So and
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 2: that's because that's where is featured.
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: And that's what I mean, like people who are just
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: reading the books, because remember, I'm waiting until a lot
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: of these books are collected and everything, so I'm I'm
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: falling behind a little bit, but not as much so
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: like I may have to pick up the comic and
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: see if there's any more connecting dots here.
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 2: So the Marvel comic comes out in November, and that's
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 2: through issue ten. Plus it has the kal Knaka issue,
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 2: so we'll talk about that then. And that's in November.
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 2: But then Echoes of Fear, the oh my gosh, the
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 2: Bounty Hunter Jedi Padawan girl with a purple lightsaber tie.
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 2: It's been like Kevin Scott's like all Ages comic book.
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: Oh yes, uh, the the Jedi Padawan bounty Hunter. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: you know who I'm talking about. I see the face, like,
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: I literally have the art in my head, like I
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: see it.
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just can't think of the title of that comic.
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 2: So those are getting collected in March and April, I think.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 2: And then we'll see how The High Republic Adventures comes
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 2: because I don't know when that's getting collected, so yeah, yeah.
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: We will see. It's gonna be very interesting. I think
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: that having a double agent within the Jedi Temple is
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: very interesting because not only would we then have an
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 1: answer for who warned the Nie Hill about said missions,
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: but we then have an answer of who gave birth
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: to the blight on coorissants. I think it's so we
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 1: will see because it's the perfect cover up to be like, oh,
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 1: it's a bad omen the Sifth Temple created the blight,
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: you know type of thing. Yeah, because it's a thing
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: like because again, you look at these things that have
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: that were like ancient like legends, like the Shri Karai
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: and like feeding into it and like all these different things,
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 1: right and just planting that seed like metaphorically in like
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: literally with the blight in the Jedi Temple, like you
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 1: create a whole new legend of like how like evil
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: this place is and all of this other stuff. So
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: I think that would actually make a lot of sense.
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 2: And it's all coming to a head as Marcia and
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 2: Roll heads to Coraissans.
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: Yep, yep, yep.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 2: All right, well I think that to a conclusion for to.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes it does. And I am getting tired. I
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: just got a text saying that Amberln wants to tell
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: me good night, so we got to call it a night.
