  Speaker 1: The Force will be with you always.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Hello, everyone, Welcome back to another episode up Star Wars Alliance,
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: your homeowny cultimate alliance podcast network for any and all
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: things Star Wars. I'm your host as always, and I
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: am sad because I no longer have Star Wars decor
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: on my shelves because I had to pack it on
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: up for moving purposes. So sad Hi Clay, Hello, you're
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: doing today good.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: I was a little bit of a negligent Star Wars host,
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: and right before we hit live, we both watched the trailer,
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: you for a second time and me for the very
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: first time. Yeah.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: I was a slacker too because I'm no longer on Twitter,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: which has been so good for my mental health, but
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: I miss a lot of stuff.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: Now, So so I have thoughts about the trailer. We
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: will talk about it, but as anybody can see the
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: talk of the town now, the one real piece of
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: news that we actually got is the fact that the
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: hunt for Been Solo may not have ever had a
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: real chance. And I lie. There is actually two things
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: of news here that I see in Star Wars Alliance,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: but I don't know. I was gonna say, Katie, you
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: would know about it, so we will talk about the trailer.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: We will talk about this been solo news, But one
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: thing to note, due to our last conversation being about
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: the horrendous, horrendous football trailer for the Mandalorian Grogu in
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: the Super Bowl from an experience, I don't know who
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: they are, but they tweeted out the Mandalorian Grogu Super
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Bowl ad was the worst performing film ad of the night,
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: ranking forty three in engagement for ads overall, with an
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: engagement score of one hundred and four versus the Minions
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: and Monsters the highest engagement for a film at nine
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: oh nine and Disclosure Day at four hundred and seventy five.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: So yeah, we know how bad that was and don't
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: really need to talk about it anymore. The second piece
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: of news, which I did share with you in text,
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: this is exciting, but we haven't really gotten any kind
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: of like evidence or update to this, So I don't
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: know how I feel about like really cementing it as
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: like hey, this is news. This is more of like, hey,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: you know, let's let's wait and see what happens. But
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Skeleton Crew season two has been listed as in development
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: by Production Weekly. Usually when this type of thing happens
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: with production weekly we see either like a a scan
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: or an actual photo of like the actual wording or
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: description of it, and we haven't seen that yet from this,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: so yeah, we'll see how legit it is in the
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: next few weeks or months, you know. Excuse me, but yeah,
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: that has That is the extent of the news that
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: we had in the Star Wars Alliance chat. Now. The
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: other news that I literally just shared with you probably
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: about two hours ago is this variety article that actually
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: takes from a interview from b K magazine. I think
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: is m a g with excuse me, the would be
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: director of the hunt for Ben Solo, And I say
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: would be as in would have been the director for
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Ben Solo, not a He's not a would be actor.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: He's a legit actor, guys, I promise Souderbergh. He had
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: an interview with them, and the question came up. Since
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: you brought up Star Wars, I was reading the Kathleen
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Kennedy exit interview again before we got on call. I
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: think what surprised a lot of people from the outside
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: was that it appeared it basically was greenlit and then
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: essentially the head of Disney killed it for story reasons,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: which has never stopped them from doing anything in Star
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Wars before. And I was wondering if that cleared anything
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: up for you. Do you know how disappointed she was?
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: His response was, no, it was not surprising whatsoever she was.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: It was not surprising that she was frustrated. We will
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: we were all frustrated. That was two and a half
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: years of free work. He worked on this for two
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: and a half years.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: That's insane hopes and dream not for money.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: And he said, work for me and Adam and Rebecca Blunt.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: When Adam and I discussed him talking about it publicly,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: I said, look, do not editorialize, speculate about the why.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Just tell them what happened, because all we know is what.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't Yeah.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: He says, we don't think Ben Solo could be alive.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: That was the reason, and that was all we were
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: ever told. And so there's nothing to do about it,
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: you know, except move on now. The Variety article, the
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: headline states Disney acts Star Wars sequel the hunt for
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: beIN Solo without even asking about the budget or other details.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: And that is because the second part of this quote,
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: he says, and as I posted, I kind of made
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: the movie in my head, and it just I just
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: felt bad that nobody else was going to see it.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: I thought the conversation was strictly going to be a
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: press to go one where they go, Okay, what's it
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: going to cost? And I had a really good answer
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: for that, but it never even got to that point.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: It's insane. We're all very disappointed, mega sad it legitimately
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: got cut off at the knees.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's insane that they wouldn't even have the conversation
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: and they're just like, Nah, story wise, this isn't gonna
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: work out. I'm betting the because we've heard all of
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: the rumors about Kennedy leaving for so long that she
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: had been leaving in the works, because we've been wondering
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: why nothing for Star Wars has been getting greenlit, And
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: I'm betting it was because they were trying to work
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: out her exiting and they wanted to know who was
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: going to take charge. But they also probably knew that
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Dave Filoni needed like they wanted Dave Filoni to be
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: in charge, but they needed a business savvy person with
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: felony in order to do that, so they hit probably
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Kathleen Kennedy, who's probably wanted to retire and get back
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: to producing solely for as long as we've heard the rumors,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: that's my bet, and that they were just seeing how
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: long it would take to get somebody to step in
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: for the business side of the president role. Yeah, and
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: our lucky Canadate is lynnwin Burnon. So yeah, that's that's
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: my guess. And that's probably why this was never a
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: conversation is because of that reason.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: It's it's very disheartening, and you're right there, there is
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: a business slash political agenda. And when I say political agenda,
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: I mean more so like business politics in all of that.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: And so the real question and conversation now should be, Hey,
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: Kathleen Kennedy is gone, not saying that it couldn't have
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: been made with her, but now that everything has been
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: set forth for the future, let's bring this back into conversation. Yeah,
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: that's what the conversation should now be because, and I've
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: said this already before, we've seen the reaction to the
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: hunt for Ben Solo. Now it's time to put that
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: reaction towards some sort of campaign plan.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that'll be the interesting thing to see, is
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: the big kicker is going to be I think probably
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: D twenty three this year, and then Star Wars Celebration
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty seven is seeing how all of that goes
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: and what we get out of there, because like James
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Gunn and Peter Saffron, they need to come out of
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: the gate swinging and they need to go, hey, we
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: have a plan, and this is the plan. Like there
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: needs to be something because otherwise you are going to
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: lose people.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: That does random thought, by the way, but talking about
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: like D twenty three, Star Wars celebration, when was the
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: last time we heard anything from Siglin about books?
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: It would probably be New York Comic Con.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: Was the last anything.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: From my recollection? I think he's on Blue Sky. Yes,
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: I have not done a lot with Blue Sky, so
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: I need to.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: Get that back into regular rotation of me doing things
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: so that way I can keep up with both him
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: and Charlestoul because Charlestowl is on Blue Sky as well.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I was just kind of thinking me of
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: that today because I finally got Lost Stars back from Libby. Yeah,
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: and I just started it today. And then also really
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: bumm thing is I got an email from my local
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: bookstore the other day and they're like, hey, Clay, so,
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: what are your books? Was brought in damaged? Oh no,
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: now if you can see kind of like the wear
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: and tear.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: I was like, okay, this is a pretty old book.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: And I told them, as long as every page is
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: intact and pages aren't falling out, we should be okay.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: And they're like, the only damage was to the back
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: of the book. We're gonna put a twenty percent off
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: uh coupon for that book, okay, And I was like, cool,
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: so I get some money. Yeah cool.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: So yeah, these they're super flimsy covers, especially these mass
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: market ones.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: But I think because they're mass market, they're constantly in production,
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: aren't they.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know about that.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: Okay, because some of the ones that I've actually been
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: getting feel pretty new in the sense of like maybe
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: it's just been sitting there for so long and they're like,
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: holy crap, there's finally one dude, finally gonna be purchasing
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: the rest of our stock of these books. But like
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: the like I said, they feel pretty nice every single
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: time I order one, So I don't know if they're
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: just keeping them really really well protected.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: But see this one says it's a first edition. So
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know what's your inside cover say.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: Inside cover, Well, it feels a first edition.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not gonna be a first edition because it
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: has legends on it.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: But it is a first edition. It says first October
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: two thousand, Okay.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: So maybe that's just a record of where it was at.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: I can't remember how you tell where when it was printed.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: So when it be uh, when it comes to book
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: like this, it will be the actual print, like the
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: first edition or whatever. I know how comics you can tell,
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: but I don't know books like because usually in when
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: you look at comics, you look at the the ISBN
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: number on the bar code. That'll tell you if it's first, second, third, fourth, fifth, tenth,
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: printing whatever. I don't know how to check that in
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: actual novels other than well, oh no, no, here it is here.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: It is two thousand and six Delray mass Market Edition.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: Boom right at the top, so it says it right.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: It can't focus because it's too small of writing, but
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: it says it right there, twenty sixteen del Rey mass
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: Market Edition.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so everything else is showing like the record of
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: what was originally there. Yeah, and then the additional twenty
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: sixteen del Ray edition is what was added to show
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: that it is a reprint.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Gotcha, Yeah because this says copyright two thousand and one
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: by your Film Limited. Yeah because I thought. Yeah, because
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: all of the Legends banners ones were printed after Disney
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: bought it. Yeah, so like this one doesn't have it.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: Uh, okay, okay, yeah, all of mine will have Legends
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: on it. Then. Yeah. But onto our second topic, which
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: is the trailer. Manalorian Grogu trailer. As we said, I
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: literally just watched it right before we went live. I
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: have thoughts. I'm gonna play it again with no sound
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: while we're talking about this, I will go out and
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: say it looks good aesthetically. It looks good when it
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: comes to anything in the eye of like how it looks.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: It does look like the TV show, though it does
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: not look other than some of the bigger alien monsters stuff. Yeah,
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: it does not look like it has any bigger of
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: a budget than it does on the show.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Correct. I would agree with that, And I mean they
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: took basically the show's budget and turned it into a
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: movie budget. Yeah, basically, So well, I don't blame them
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: in that sense, it definitely doesn't look as polished as
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: a movie.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: Yes, and that's what I mean. And that's what I
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: mean is like the fact that I think that people
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: will notice because like there's always the sentiment of like
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: most recently, Mwana to Juana Tow was made for Disney,
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: plus they changed their mind they edit it to format
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: as a movie, and then we had comments of people saying, yeah,
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: it feels very episodic and we can kind of tell
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: when the episodes would have ended throughout the movie.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: I really hope that isn't the case here. That's my
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: only thing, you know.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: I don't think that it will feel episodic mainly because
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: because or at least that's my hope. I feel like,
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: because they're choosing to pick some bigger aliens, like they're
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: reintroducing the dragon snake from Dagoba and whatnot. I feel like,
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: because they're choosing to do those aspects that they plan
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: this as a movie.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: As an actual movie.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So that's that's my theory. Is it definitely looks
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: like that. I do appreciate that there's a little more
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: humor in this, Like I know people were scared about
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: how much humor that there could potentially be. But I
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: enjoyed the amount of humor in this jailer, so.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: About that when and I may need to watch season
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: three again. The speech I was gonna say impediment, but
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: that's not the right phrasing. The way that Dinjarren talks
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: towards Grogu feels like he's trying to land a comedic
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: punchline rather than organically talk to him.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: I think that may just be potentially how it was shot,
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Like they potentially had him do ADR in specific ways,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: and so then the ADR they picked a specific funny
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: bit for the trailer.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: That might be it.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: That might be it, because that's the benefit with doing
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: a helmeted character, right, is that you can have lines
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: of bazillion different ways and it doesn't matter what their
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: facial expression says. So that would be my hope. I
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: like the dinner line. I chuck both times, so.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: I they're like, uh, like, oh, what are you waiting for?
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: Like that line felt a little like, you know. And again,
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: we are finishing up season one in our retro review tonight,
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: so looking back at how he did talk to Grogu,
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: we didn't know his name back then, but looking at
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: how he did talk to Grogu compared to how the
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: relationship is in the book oft and in season three,
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: it's still excuse me, it feels a little weird, right,
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: but also.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: Looking at a character who's grown over what we're calling
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: three years.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, and that's that's what I mean, Like there
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: is growth there, but the comedic timing of the line
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: and the way he's saying in the trailer, it might
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: be different context in the actual movie, m but it
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: just feels a little silly.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Are you still talking about the cookie one or the
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: waiting one?
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: The the oh what are you waiting for? Where he
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: jumps inside of the little like hovercraft the freaking stroller thing.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I feel like, yeah, I feel like that
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: one is mainly just like they chose to frame it
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: a different way for the trailer. Yeah.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: But like the one that I actually really chuckled at
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: was the opener of the trailer, which is like the
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: button like you get the very like the music is
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: roaring with the engine and like it's about to be
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: this grandiose thing and all of a sudden, do do
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: do do do do do? He's like, don't touch the butts,
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: don't touch the butts, that's funny. I really liked the
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: opening for that.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: I think that I liked the opening and then the
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: let's save the rest for after dinner at the end.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: Now, one thing that I do want to talk about
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: the bounty hunter.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what's his name?
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: Uh with the dog? Yes, yes, I don't think that's
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: his name. Actually I think it is bounty hunter with dog.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: It's not really a dog, but uh, Star Wars Imbo.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Imbo, you were close.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: INMBO. Imbo looks good. Now again, I don't think.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: You can say he looks good because he's housed in shadow.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: And well, and that's what I mean is the fact
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: that they decided the one place you're gonna see him
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: in this trailer, it's dark, he looks menacing. You know,
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: he is going to be a completely cgi character. So
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: you know, take that as you will.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: So is Zeb and Ze looks good.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: Zeb looks good, exactly. I think it's gonna be a
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: lot of fun we have seen because of course, at
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: one point and still, I mean, he does take side jobs.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: Den Jarren was introduced to us as a bounty hunter.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Uh oh, thank you, Travis.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: Travis giving us a super chat. Awesome, awesome, thank you
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: so much, uh saying good afternoon, Hello, Travis. Going off
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: the trailer, speculate that Mando and Grogu spent a large
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: chunk of the movie apart. Mando was taken by Imbo
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: putting an arena with Rota having to burst out together
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: while Grogu finds help. Not sure if that's the structure
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: of the movie, but it would be interesting to follow
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: Grogu figuring out how to get his dad help through strangers,
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: some helpful, some not, all while not speaking. We've talked
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: about this. I made a joke and you're not on Twitter,
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: so you didn't get to see this joke. I didn't
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: know what this trailer was going to intel m hm,
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: so I was like, oh, it's probably gonna be an
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: announcement that Pedro, Pascal and Grogu are going to be
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: hosting the Oscars, and Ogu is the one gonna be
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: making the announcement. It'll be his first words. Just because
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: of how horrendous the Super Bowl trailer was. I had
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: no hope and what this But we have talked about
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: this movie possibly being the very first time that Grogu
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: talks mm hmm. Bring that back up. Do you think
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: it will.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: I'm still sticking to my my initial joke of it
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: happens at the very end of the movie and he's like, help.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: Me find my dad.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: I Yobi wan Kenobi, You're my only hope.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: I like the thing is, I can see it being
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: like a really silly, stupid state. You're like that, not
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: like so out of pocket to be like like aunt
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: May saying what the at the end of Spider Man,
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: you know, but like kind of like that. I I
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: think it'll be still a very interesting concept. I don't
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: know how the older audience will feel about separating the
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: two and only following Grogu Yeah.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Because the thing the thing, right is that the key
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: with a non speaking character, or the key with a
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: character that speaks a different language that isn't translated on screen.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Chewy Grogo, What's eight from the Boys? BB eight R
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: two G two C three po All those things are
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: C three po speaks English, Yeah, yeah.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: Two R two D two BB eight chopper. Like all
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: of those you have to have a.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: Character that's there to translate, and you basically have to go, well, yes,
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: you think, YadA YadA YadA, but like no, we're gonna
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: do it this way. Kind of thing or yeah, you
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: big fuzzball, you're gonna have to get in the garbage compactor,
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: like telling us what the character is trying to say.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: And so I don't think that would play very well,
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: especially when you think a lot of what we've seen
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: Grogu doing on his own. He's been working with Anzellen's
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: and Anzellen's already speak a different language. So he's either
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: going to have to be talking by that point if
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: he truly is by himself, or Din has to be
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: there to help interpret what's going on. Yeah, because otherwise
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: you don't really get a good feel for how that
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: story is gonna come across. I think at Max you
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: get like two to three minutes of him trying to
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: talk to people by himself.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: I think it'll be more than I think it will
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: be more. I think it will be more than two
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: or three minutes, but I think it'll be in small
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: pockets throughout the film. Yeah, So that way people won't
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: get frustrated with what you're talking about, with the idea
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: of like, okay, we kind of understand that he understands,
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: like it's it's almost like the moment with Guardians of
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: the Galaxy too, where Baby group is yeah, trying to
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: press the like the button and rockets like, no, you
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: don't press this one. We all die. You gotta press
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: this one, And like there's a moment where like grow
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: group almost presses Yeah. I mean he's like, oh wait, okay, yeah,
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: I have to put this one. So I think we
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: are going to get those many moments throughout the film,
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: so that way we can give some time to grow
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: Gou on his own, to kind of grow as a character. Yeah,
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: but I don't I think it can be long stretches
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: of time because I do genuinely believe the audience will
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: get frustrated and or lost and just be like, Okay,
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: where's den Jarn, where's Petro Pascal all of this stuff?
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: Yep, Because I think I do think that you guys
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: are right, is that there is going to be some
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: time a part. Mando is clearly taken by Embo, but
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: we've also seen, like to the point of like hey,
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: he's put in the arena with Roda. We've also seen
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: in other pieces of the trailer where Manto and Grogu
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: are in the audience watching the fight. So I don't
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: necessarily think that it's just like, oh, yeah, he's gonna
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: fight with the gladiator to the duel kind of thing.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: I think the main plot of this is going to be, hey,
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: let's hunt down imperial figures and then we get sidetracked
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: in to the huts with something. I think the city
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: planet that we see is Narshada, which is going to
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: be super interesting, which because we haven't really been to
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: Narshada at all, We've just kind of read about it
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: in books. The I think the swampy area it could
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: be Narsiada. It could be Digova because or it could
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: be the car in the Rise of Skywalker because it
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: looked familiar to that plant life. But it's definitely a
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: swampy area because that's where the dragon snake lives and
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: we see the dragon snake interacted with Pedro Pascal. Sam's
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: helmet by the way, which I need to talk about
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: because you said that you thought he was going to
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: stick with his helmet in this and now we have
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: three different shots.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we have, we have a few. I was literally
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: just as you were talking, I was saying how many
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: times he actually is seen with his helmet off. The
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: very first time is we actually see the helmet being
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: taken off by Embo. We assume.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's the imbo won the huts because the
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: huts are literally holding his helmet.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we we see him with the huts, and then
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: the very next one is when he is underneath with
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: the what do you call it? A dragon snake? So
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: we I wanted I wanted him to be without taking
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: off his mask, at least for the marketing. That's what
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: I wanted. Yes, I roll my eyes because I know
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: that damn face set was so many freaking tickets to anything,
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: you know, Sam's Fantastic four. Apparently, I like, it was
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: silly of me to not think that they were gonna
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: put his face on the marketing. The only question now
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: is does he kill the huts?
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know, because it's interesting because the last time
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: we saw them was in book Boba fett his brother
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: and sister Hut yep, and so those huts were last
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: seen on Tattooine, which we know Boba took over a Tatooine.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: So why are the twins there being pissy about Mando?
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: You got me because like, and I'm wondering how it's
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: gonna tie in other than an interruption where like he's
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: got a bounty on his head from the huts. That's
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: the only thing I can think of. Oh, Travia said, Yeah,
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: he's agreeing. He said, if Gorogo is spending time alone,
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of the dialogue will be the
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: characters he interacts with try and figure out what he needs. Yeah, exactly.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: I just would hope that it wouldn't be too too long,
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: And especially because we've already seen a couple scenes with
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: him and the ant Zelens, we need to be able
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: to interpret where those scenes are going. So that's my
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: big qualm.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: Like I believe in the very first trailer we do
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: see him like alone in like some sort of like sewage, which.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: Would make sense with like if he's rescuing Mando from
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: the huts, like with the a Zellans.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: Like being in.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'm interested to see be because we have
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: this the the alien creature that asks Grogu if he's scared.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: Star Wars news Net is confirming that this is a
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: brand new alien character that they don't know what type
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: of species this alien is, and he's asking like are
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: you scared? Kind of thing, and he clearly interprets a
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: response from Grogu. So I'm wondering if this is like
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: another force lesson that he has to participate in, because
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: we do see Grogu meditating in that swampy area. So
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: and like, I feel like it looks like R two
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: in the opening shot, but.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: He has a color scheme difference.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: He has a color scheme difference.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: He's red.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: No, I thought he was blue.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, no. Oh yeah, sunrise and then it
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: immediately focuses and it's all red.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right. I I thought it was tinged from
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: the sun.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, yeah, no, I'm looking at this character that
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: did ask Grogu are you scared? Are you fraid? Or whatever?
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: I don't know why. He looks like a species that
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: we've seen before.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: He kind of looks like a big sabolba.
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, that makes sense, but he's got he's not.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: A snake like creature and like walking on his arms
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: and stuff. So it's not a giant sabulba.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: Very true.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: But Star Wars News Nets theory is that they're on
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: indoor at that point, which ooh, okay, I have a
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: question for you. Okay, it might be a little fonky.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: Do you think we see Palpatine's bounty hunter that had
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: the knife and that's why he could be on indoor.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: Is they're getting the knife.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: So you so you think that see this is this
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: is where I kind of have to laugh because like
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: laugh yes and no, because like at one point, I'm like,
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: you think Folony is going to connect dots with his
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: first big Mandalorian grown.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: This is Farvro's movie. Felony is producing executive producer.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, and and it's for that reason I could
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: see them. But the thing is, I hate to reference
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: this one line from Travis whenever we talk about this stuff.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: Books are cannon until they're not. The knife is a
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: part of.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: It's a comic. It is a comic knife.
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: It's got it.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: The bounty Hunter himself has his roots in the comics.
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: I I'm gonna say no. I'm gonna say no. I
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: think that it's too deep of a pool currently, mm hmm.
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: Because we it we have yet, legit yeah, we have.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: We have yet to legitimately see an actual reference to
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: any type of outside media other than movies or TV
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: shows in movies or TV shows, like, we haven't seen
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: any reference to a comic book or novel inside a
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: movie or a TV show. We've seen it the other
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: way around. Of course, but we haven't seen a direct
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: reference from something from a comic book or from a novel,
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: or from a video game even into a show or movie. Correct.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but the knife, it was OG's knife, and so
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: the knife has a lot of background in the comic
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: mm hmm. But it was introduced in the movie as
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: OG's knife.
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: Yes, I okay, So there could be there, There could
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: be something there. I'm just very very hesitant to lucasfilm
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: ever acknowledging comics and novels. That's really all it is. Like,
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: I genuinely think that they would change it before they
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: acknowledge it, you know, they they would completely rewrite it
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: to fit the movie's narrative rather than take something from
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: an already existing piece of cannon, supposedly, because again, everything
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: is cannon until it's not. I would love, I would
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: absolutely love for them to do something like that, but
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: I just don't think they would.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: Okay, So the knife the dagger has made an appearance
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: in Crimson Rain, One, Shadow of the Safe, and then
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: The Rise of Skywalker. So I was calling it a knife,
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: So let me go search this for dagger. Yeah, so
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: there is nothing about how he gets it in the book,
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: So yeah, what it was a thought because the indoor reference,
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: I would I would.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: Be interested to see genuinely, because again, like the hope
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: for us as Star Wars fans is, if you're going
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: to make a movie that is in between other movies,
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: then there has to be connective tissue, right, there has
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: to be something. We're not asking for fan service. Yeah,
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: that's yes, We're not asking for fan service.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: We are.
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: All we are asking is, hey, there is already a
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: completed puzzle and you're adding a piece, so we need
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: to know where it connects to. So if that's the case,
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: then I just, genuinely, other than having a really fun
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: time in this movie, I do need a definitive Hey,
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: where is this movie leading us in the timeline? Yeah?
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: Travis also says as a fan of the Aftermath books,
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: I really I was really happy to see Cobb Van
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: brought in over five years after he was introduced.
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: That is true, that is a book pull. We may
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: not have liked those books. Yeah, I enjoyed that connective
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: tissue because Cob Van is an interesting character and he
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: was only introduced in an interlude of Aftermath. It wasn't
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: like expanded upon or anything.
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: In a way. That's yet to be clear. I think
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: this movie is making a Clone Wars movie sit with
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: the rest of the saga instead of feeling like a
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: few random episodes of a show strung into a film.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: That's so true, Roda hasn't been mentioned since the Clone
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: Wars movie. This is people are going to be getting
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: back into it, and I'm like, I'm digging.
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: Well, it's really it's really funny that you say that, because,
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: as somebody who was looking into our calendar for content,
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: there's one movie that we have not reviewed. The Clone
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: Wars movie has not has not been reviewed yet, and
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: technically all of clothes.
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: I don't think we have time before the movie, but.
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: No, we don't know, we don't we I looked at it.
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: I was like, could we move things around? No, we can't,
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: and it's mainly due to the fact that Maul takes
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: up all of April, so so we don't have any
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: time for that. But I did notice, like I looked
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: at all the movies and I was like, what's that
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: blank spot? Oh, that's Clone Wars. Weird that that has
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: never been reviewed before, so we might be throwing it
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: in this year. But yeah, I do need some sort
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: of connective tissue, and Travis, I do think truly it is.
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: Like again, I referenced this, I think maybe even two
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: weeks ago, when I was talking about how I went
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: to the midnight release of Clone Wars with my dad
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: and one of my best friends from high school. All
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: the adults fell asleep while all of the teenagers and
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: kids like absolutely loved it. I could see Fulony being like,
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: I want my revenge. I need everybody to not know
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: a damn about this character that I'm putting into this movie.
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: And now they're gonna be forced to go watch my
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: movie on Disney Plus, and the numbers are gonna skyrocket.
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna get a nice bonus check from all of
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: those downloads.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: I could totally see it.
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: Travis also says Mando, assuming Roda is like the rest
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: of the Huts, only to find out that Roda doesn't
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: want to be like his dad, he wants to be
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: like the Jedi who saved him as a baby, would
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: bring it full circle.
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: I love this theory. I need it to happen.
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: Now here's something else, though, Because we see Roda, is
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: there an inkling of a chance we see Ahsoka.
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: I don't think so, because according to my research, this
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: is supposed to be taking place at the same time
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: as Ahsoka season one, oh or slightly after, because you
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: know how, Okay, so you know how in season three
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: of The Mandalorian when we see the purgles, yes, in
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: the background, that Grogu's supposed to be like focusing in
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: on them and like thinking and contemplation and stuff. Ahsoka
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: is supposed to be on those purls.
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: Yes, and so, and we know that Ahsoka is currently
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: not in our galaxy in the the already.
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: Star Wars ducks the suck for Fuloni. Yeah, this is
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: my theory for the post credit too. We have Zeb
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: getting a call bus being Aska being lost one hundred
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: percent wrote it here his name, Oh okay, remembers the
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: Jedi who saved him, going with Mander. I like that theory.
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: I was thinking. We probably got a post credit with
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: Zeb figuring out that Sabine and Ahsoka are lost, and
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: then we have a post credit kind of setting us
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: up for a SOCA season two with Ahsoka and Sabine
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: on whatever that planet is in that galaxy.
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: Okay, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. We
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: are now assuming that Star Wars is having a post credit.
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, Wonder Man did, just didn't have a
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: post credit, but like they're still popular right now.
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, like I know that, but it's it has
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: not been done in Star Wars, so like, not in
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: a movie.
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: We've had post credits in the in the TV shows though.
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: Ah, that's true, that's true. I hmmm. I wonder if
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: it'll be trickled into the movie within itself. I like,
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: I I almost feel like I almost feel like Filoney
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: and lucasfilm going to Favre and saying like, hey, you're
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: the Marvel guy post credit and him being like, I'm
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: done with this. I came to Star Wars for this
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: entire reason to get away from that. I don't want to,
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: you know, I could see that, but but I could.
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: I could. I could see there being a world where like, hey,
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: you know how to do this correctly because you kind
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: of you know, gave birth to it with Iron Man,
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: so can you do it with this whole you know,
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: because we we have heard this news that if this
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: movie does not do well, it changes the whole idea
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: of having a big, bombastic movie for Faloni and his
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: Mando verse, and it changes all the way down to
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: a TV series, so I could see them try to
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: set up for it. I could see them trying to
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: set up for it.
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: I think so, especially when Ahsoka season two is your
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: next big thing for Star Wars, because by the time
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: Manhun Grogu comes out, you've already had Darth Maul. The
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: only other thing that we had the announcement for was
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: the ninth Jedi TV show, So the only thing you
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: have is going to be Ahsoka season two. So I
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: would set up as like, hey, remember this is coming
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: out later this year.
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Travis also says Roda been a powerful influence in
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: the Hut clan, would have access to Hut Space, allowing
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: them to find Paridia easier, even reuniting the Huts with
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: the New Republic like in the High Republic. I could
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: see that. I would I would be very interested to
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: see them completely flip the Hut Space or just the
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: Huts in general on its head and be like, hey,
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: we're no longer like these like gangsters and mob family. Instead,
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: we're gonna be in the forces of good and all
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: of this stuff. Like I would really like to see
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: how that changes, especially for the Well, hmm, here's the thing,
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: because again we have to fit in with the sequel trilogy.
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: Was hut space ever mentioned in the sequel trilogy.
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: Hut space has never really been a thing except for
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: the Clone Wars and like books and comics, I feel like.
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: Okay, well then if that's the case, that I think
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: we can kind of set that up for future movies.
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it would be interesting to see.
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: So you start with the Anakin and Ahsoka fighting Roda
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: and you end it with Luke and Roda finding Ahsoka.
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: It's like, that's that's so cute.
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: That would be pretty cool.
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: Like I don't I don't need cameos for cameo's sake,
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: but I love that.
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: Well, and again it's not necessarily it doesn't necessarily need
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: to be like in this movie or even in like
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: the trilogy of things that will have aually become, but
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: like just to like finalize the saga, like yeah, hitting
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: that I think would be really really fun, But.
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: Oh no, that's not the right frame.
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: Some other things in this trailer, uh, to kind of
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: end it, we've already mentioned zep zep looks great, and yeah,
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: I think that's really it. For the highlights here, we
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: talked about the comedy. I still every single time I
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: see the logo, I think it just looks weird. I
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: don't know why it looked like and I think mainly
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: because it's like you look at every other Star Wars
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: logo and title.
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: It's just so different, you know, Yeah, it really is.
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: But I also think it could be a good thing,
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: because maybe it's a difficult change. Is like, hey, we're
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: going in a new direction.
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: That's true, that's true.
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: So correction. Hut space has been mentioned in mostly comics
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: and books and video games. There is a couple episodes
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: of Clone Warsh where it has been mentioned, especially in
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: like The Hunt for Zero for instance. It's been mentioned
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: in the Clone Warsh film, but then the last mentioned
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: that it had like. It has actually been mentioned in
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: a live action show, which is the Book of the
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: Fett Chapter two, The Tribes of Tattooed, and it was
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: mentioned only, which is typically how it's referenced. So it
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: could very easily come into play, is what I'm saying.
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, I can see that.
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: So yes, I love the comedy in this. I know
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: we've already talked about that, but I'm going back through
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: and trying to, like, see we do get to hear
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: Sigourney Weaver's character talk. Oh, we didn't talk about Martin Scorsese.
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: Yes, Martin Scorsese. Very odd choice as far as like
• 53:52
  Speaker 3: to choose any and all cameos, especially since there is
• 53:58
  Speaker 3: the hyper bollock and controversial comment that he's made about
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: Marvel movies, you know, and.
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: Star Wars is old school.
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: Well, and that's the thing, right, and that's it. But
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: the thing is, when people talk about superhero movies, Star
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: Wars is always right at the cusp of the conversation,
• 54:29
  Speaker 3: which I think is funny when we now see and
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: hear Martin scorstaisy in a Star Wars movie. So I'm
• 54:40
  Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm sure there's plenty of Internet trolls that
• 54:46
  Speaker 3: are like complaining that he's you know, in here and
• 54:50
  Speaker 3: all this other stuff. I don't really care. You can
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: clearly tell that's him. He's done acting before, right he Yeah,
• 55:01
  Speaker 3: I believe he is. Let me actually look up how
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: many movies he's actually been in.
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: Mark the race car mode for the stroller is kind
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: of cool. Sorry, I'm glad my through.
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: So in his IMDb, let's see how many he has
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: as an actor.
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: Are you gonna see this in IMAX? Because then it
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: makes me feel like I have to see it an Imax.
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: I have heard that the Imax theater here is not great.
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: Okay, so I am not typically an IMAX person because
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: I get overwhelmed by all of the noise, and the
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: theaters here are like, the Imax theater here is very nice.
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: The only time I would probably change that is for
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: an early screening, which just typically always IMAX. Not that
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: I think we'll get an early screening by any means.
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: But so, he has currently forty four acting roles. Martin
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: Scorsese does one of them, including the ohso famous animated
• 56:25
  Speaker 3: shark Tail movie with Will Smith. Yeah, that's like one
• 56:32
  Speaker 3: of the first movies I ever saw with him. He
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: is the dude that owns the car wash, I think,
• 56:42
  Speaker 3: or go back and watch that, yeah yeah, but yeah,
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: that was the first movie I had ever heard Martin
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: Scorsese's voice in. But then after that, he.
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: Is in.
• 57:04
  Speaker 3: The Aviator with uh Leonardo DiCaprio, He is in uh
• 57:10
  Speaker 3: The Audition, He is in Killers of the Main Like,
• 57:14
  Speaker 3: he's basically in his own movies. Basically is basically what
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: I'm seeing here. Yeah, he plays himself a whole lot
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: in other things. But yeah, he has acted before, so
• 57:33
  Speaker 3: I think the only nobody I think I think Amberlyn
• 57:39
  Speaker 3: would love that movie. Actually, I might show it to her.
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: I think the only Scorsese directed film that I have
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: seen would be Shutter Island. I don't think I've seen
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: any other one of his movies. Oh wow, you had
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: to think about that.
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: I would say for you, I would definitely watch. Oh wait,
• 58:06
  Speaker 3: is that not a Martin Scorsese movie? Hold on, hold on,
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: hold on, hold on? Where is his directing credits? There
• 58:15
  Speaker 3: we go. It's a two thousand. Have you not seen
• 58:24
  Speaker 3: Gangs of New York.
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: No?
• 58:29
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's a pretty bloody movie. So just a fair warning.
• 58:39
  Speaker 3: Not a movie to watch. Omara, Yeah, but that's a
• 58:46
  Speaker 3: good one. That was an actual good one.
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: I have to check it out because I know, like
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: I wanted to watch The Irishman, for instance, and The
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: Wolf of wall Street has always been on my list.
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: So nice, I'll have to. I'll have to make it
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: a goal for maybe next year.
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, get get some, get some Martin Scorstes off your
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: checklist for sure. But guys, I think that is it
• 59:14
  Speaker 3: for the trailer talk. We are finally at our main topic.
• 59:22
  Speaker 3: The last topic of the Night. We are doing our
• 59:26
  Speaker 3: retro review part two of Mandalorian season one. This of
• 59:33
  Speaker 3: course covers episodes of five, six, seven, and eight, Yes
• 59:39
  Speaker 3: and Guys.
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: Episode five was directed and written by Dave Filoni Chapter so.
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: Chapter five is called The Gunslinger. Chapter six The Prisoner
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: was directed by Rick Famiyua and story was by Christopher Yos.
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: The teleplay is by Christopher Yos and Rick fami Yua.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: Deborah Chow directed Chapter seven, The Reckoning, and it was
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: written by Jon Favreau. And then, of course Clay's favorite
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: episode of the entire series, Chapter eight, Redemption, was directed
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: by the one and only Taiko Ytt and written by
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: John Favreau. So, like, three years later, you still hate
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: the opening scene with the Stormtroopers beating up on the kid, it.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 3: I'm I don't hate it as much because I knew
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 3: it was coming, right, Like, I knew it was coming.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 3: So it's just like, Okay, it's there. You know. It's
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 3: a little bit of a like oh yeah, because like
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 3: we do know who actually plays the Stormtroopers. Now it's
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 3: kind of like an aha moment for a lot of
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: people when they do find out. Travis says episode five
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: was rough, but in typical Felony fashion, they took the
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 3: most hated episode and made it one of the most
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 3: important later.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: So it's because cynic shanned is legendary.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 3: I was watching this. I watched all four episodes today.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 3: I meant to spread it out, but life got ahead
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 3: of me, so I had to watch everything today. The
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 3: Gunslinger I have to laugh every single time because of
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 3: how almost pointless this entire episode is. Until, like Travis
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 3: says later in season two, yep, this this literally feels
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 3: like the one filler. Well, actually no, it's Episode five
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 3: and six are the two filler episodes of the season.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 3: Nothing truly big happens in the Prisoner. These two episodes
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 3: are just here again. Episode five is for set up
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 3: for season two, and episode six again a little bit
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 3: of setup for season two. Yeah, yeah, Mayfield, we do
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 3: have Mayfield again. But both of these episodes are to
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: again show the ruthlessness and badassery of the Mandalorian. That's
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 3: basically all it is.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: Which is it is what you needed at that point,
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: is you needed to help introduce the character and kind
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: of let him feel like he's own throughout the galaxy
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: basically at this point, and so that's really what five
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: and six is for.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 3: Five?
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: Is it filler?
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 3: Is it?
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: Yes? But like magnaw Win coming into Star Wars and
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: becoming such an iconic character, I don't think an actor
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: an actress has made such an impact. Sense, Let's be real.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: The girl has been in live action. She's been in
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: two different live action shows. She's been in the animated stuff.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: She's also I know magnaw Win has not actually done this,
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: but the girl has been in video games, she's been
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: in books. We all character.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 3: We also have the oh so famous Pelly Moto. When
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 3: I saw Pelly again, I'm just like, god, damn, this woman.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 3: Amus Sedaris is a true gym in Hollywood. If anybody
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 3: has ever watched the show The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt on Netflix,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 3: Amy is like peak comedy in that show, absolutely ridiculous,
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 3: absolutely hilarious, and so seeing her again here as just this,
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 3: you know, very not so serious mechanics. Have we already
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 3: confirmed that she's in Man Laurian Grogue? Oh but there
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 3: was the joke that, uh, Sigouri Weaver is just like
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 3: her sister or something, you know.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the original joke was like, oh, they found the
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: movie star version.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Amy Amy Sedaris was not available during the
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 3: time of filming, so they're just gonna put that would
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 3: oh by god, if they would have put Sigourney Weaver
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 3: in that spot, Oh my god. But yeah, like this
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 3: this did of course introduce uh Pelly and Finnick, and
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 3: it also on ironically introduced uh Troy Kotzer as the
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 3: Tusken Raider. Now again he helped in the book Bubba
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 3: Fett introduced an entire new set of sign language for
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 3: the Tuscans, which so so I had no idea that
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 3: he played the raider in this episode either, So having
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 3: him here I think is really really cool. Something I
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 3: also did not know ev ninety nine the uncredited voice actor.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: It's Mark Hamill, isn't it.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 3: It's Mark Hamill. Yeah, I did not know that until
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 3: literally just how Yeah, I think that is really really cool.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 3: It also, uh like this episode again a little bit
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 3: of filler, But I do think that, especially after what
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 3: we had in episode four, there needed to be a
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 3: palette cleanser, a palate cleanser. There needed there needed to
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 3: be a low to the high that we had just
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 3: been on.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: You know, yeah, because like and yes, at eight episodes
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: would I like everything to be flawless and basically give
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: me two movies in this season. Yes, yeah, I think
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: if you're going to have eight episodes, you should aim
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: for that. But TV shows nowadays you have like you
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: have to expect filler basically at this point from Hollywood unfortunately,
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: and it does build the character of the Mantalori up
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: in this case, so I wouldn't even call it like
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: standard cable filler, like, yeah, this is just calm, keep
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: the story moving, character development things.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 3: This is the shortest episode of the batch that we
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 3: are currently talking about. I think it it ended with
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 3: like thirty six minutes compared to everything else being in
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 3: the forty odd minute range. So yeah, episode six being
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 3: the prisoner.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: With our lovely cameo by the voice of Anakin Skywalker himself.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 3: Yes, we do have Matt Latner as well as the
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 3: beautiful beautiful man Clancy Brown famously voice of Mister Crabs
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 3: and SpongeBob lex Luthor in the animated series of Justice League.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 3: So having those two be in this was a really
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 3: really fun treat.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: And you say, all those people, but you also have
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: to give the legendary talks actress credit herself. I can't
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: ever remember her name.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 3: Natalie. Yes, yes, Talks from Harry Potter. Correct.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because I the first time I saw this episode
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: at three o'clock the freaking morning, I was like, Oh,
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: that's that's That's talks and I had to go look
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: it up afterwards. And this is Clancy Brown's actually his
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: I think this is his third role for Star Wars
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: because he's the he's the governor of Lowthal Center. Yes, yes,
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: which maybe I'm counting the live action and the animated
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: now that I think about it, but yes, this is
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: his second role. This is his second character.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So uh and then also did not know that
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 3: Filoni gave his character's name last name is Wolf. Trapper
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 3: Wolf was the X Wing pilot at the very end
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 3: of this episode. I think that is also hilarious.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because you have Deborah Chow and I think Rick
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 2: were also in the other.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 3: Yes, yep. But this episode again just showing badassy of
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 3: Bando getting the rest of the galaxy. They kind of
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 3: know his name. We get a little bit of Mando's background,
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 3: his history with this episode. And again, when you are
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 3: looking at a character for you know, close to the
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 3: very first time with this season compared to the trailer
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 3: that we just watched two opposite ends of the spectrum,
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 3: because there's there's moments in here he is just looking forward,
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 3: not a single word, and like everybody else is kind
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 3: of talking for him, and he's like, that was the
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 3: old me. Oh that was years ago, you know, very
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 3: very monotone, very to the point. Like the only emotion
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 3: we really got from Den Jarren at this point in
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 3: the episode was oh, you know, nobody has to die
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 3: right now, you know, trying to trying to kind of
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 3: cool things down again. This is oh, well, go ahead.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: It's a credit to the stunt guy's performance, but also
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: so Pedro Pascal's voice in this instant to tell a
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: lot through that voice, acting capability and stuff.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 3: It's it's a lot outside of of course, his already
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 3: like protection of Grogum. This is again one of these
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 3: small signs of like his humanity. Yeah, so we are
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 3: like and it's in the midst of learning about his past.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 3: So we are seeing this contradiction and or growth of
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 3: character which will eventually lead us to what is the
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 3: finale of the season, Yeah, which really starts with episode seven.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it really is a true two parter almost.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the reckoning the reckoning uh with uh. This one
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 3: was directed by Choe right yepow chow. Sorry, And I
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 3: could not get past the writing for this episode and
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 3: the reason why that is, I don't know if this
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 3: was a critique of mine when I first watched it.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 3: Gina Carano's character, what's her name again, Carra, you said
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 3: for stormtroopers, you said for stormtroopers, you said for stormtroopers. Ye,
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 3: you said for stormtroopers throughout the entirety of this episode.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: I like, I do think they're trying they because I
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: didn't hate that line coming through multiple times. I think
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: they were trying to tell it with her character because
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: she's a Shocktrooper. She's very analytical at like seeing the
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: odds and stuff, and.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 3: I totally agree with that sentiment. The problem and like
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 3: PTSD that I have is and I just have to
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 3: give you, like I'm gonna give you a handful of
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 3: Brian Michael Bendis's comics in Marble. Okay, there's this thing
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 3: that basically he invented. People call it like, oh, this
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 3: is like Brian Mindel Brian Michael Bindis, And it's called
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 3: sing song dialogue, where two characters bounce off of each
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 3: other go back and forth in conversation, and it's almost repetitive.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 3: So it's like, Hi, how are you, Hi? How are you? Oh?
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 3: I said this, well you said that. Well, yes, I
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 3: said this, Well I know you said that, you said this,
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 3: and it's like over and over again, and there's a
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 3: lot of repeating. I have gotten so much PTSD from
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 3: reading Brian Michael Bindis's sing Song Dialogue. When I hear
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 3: characters repeat words and lines in books, in comics, and
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 3: especially being able to see them repeat it on TV,
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 3: it makes me go insane because I'm like, we get it.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 3: You don't like that there's four stormtroopers only in the building,
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 3: but there's thousands of them outside. We understand the odds
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 3: are now not in your favor. Okay, let's move past
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 3: that and start working on a plan. And instead, all
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 3: she says is, you said there was four stormtroopers over
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 3: and over and over again. It's annoying. Welcome to my
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 3: ted talk.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah I did. I didn't find that annoying because
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: again I was watching it and I just chuckled every
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: time that happened. Was like, because it's just like, it's
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: a funny. It's a funny quirky moment between the two
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: because it's like they don't know each other from beans
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, you've got to like
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 2: do all these things. I do think Carl Weathers did
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: a really good job in this episode.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 3: Yes, this is the episode where we finally see force healing.
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this was the first introduction of it.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 3: So this with this, of course, is the episode that
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 3: debuted the week of the Rise of Skywalker and.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: They pushed this premiere up so as not to override
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: the Rise of Skywalkers, but also because of the first.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, so I I really like this setup for
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 3: a finale. Yeah, the writing I was a little annoyed
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 3: with for Gina Carano's character, but the writing did create
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 3: one of the best memes of all time when it
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 3: came to Star Wars, I would like the baby. I
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 3: love it, I love it. Aber Laid was sitting right
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 3: next to me, and I knew the light was coming up,
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 3: so I got like this close to her, and she
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 3: was kind she was kind of like leaning away, like
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 3: what are you doing? And then I said I would
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 3: like to see the baby, and she just like, I
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 3: love it. I love it. It's so good.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: But yeah, like Lamara the trailer, and see what she
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: says about since this is like an actual trailer. Yeah,
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 2: see what she says about Grogo popping up all over.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 3: I I really like the like I said, I like
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 3: the setup for the finale. Here we do get our
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 3: first death of the group.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 2: I still cried when that happened. I was devastated when
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: Quile died the first time, and I was devastated again.
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 3: I still am not over it. No, because I think
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 3: he still would have He would still be a great
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 3: asset to the team to this day, quite possibly in
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 3: the Mando and Grogu movie yep, if he had survived
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 3: that long. Yeah, and like he teaches Mando like our
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 3: genuine lesson with like about trust and things like that.
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 3: Of course, with the droid, this was this like I
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 3: have bitpicks, of course, but like again, like this season
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 3: season one of Mandalorian Excuse Me, really did open a
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 3: lot of people's eyes to holy crap, Star Wars can
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 3: be on TV, right.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 3: I genuinely do think to this day that it did
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 3: a great job with that sentiment, you know. Yeah, and
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 3: this was one of the great, one of the better
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 3: episodes for it.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think this is the one that got
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 2: Debora child that Obi wan Kenobi job is because just
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: the way the action is shot, the way she handles
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 2: certain elements of the dialogue with focusing in on certain
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 2: shots in particular, like when they're on the lava fields
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: in the beginning of the episode, and like Karga takes
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 2: them out after he's been healed by Grogu and he
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 2: like shoots the other Bounty hunters that are with him,
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 2: and he's like, that's a perfectly shot scene right there. Yeah,
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 2: like it's it looks so good, and the transition between oh,
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 2: I'm shooting the Bounty hunters, but then I also have
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 2: to look at Carl Weather's face.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: I actually ran that back and watched it again today
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: because I was like, I just need to watch this
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 2: over again because it just looks so good. And of course,
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 2: the introduction of mof Gideon in this episode as a character.
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 2: I think that shocked everyone when that happened.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 3: I really like his introduction more so also because I
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 3: don't remember if this was in episode eight or if
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 3: it was in episode seven, but when he says when
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 3: we hear den Jarn's name for the first time, yep
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 3: and den Jarn's like, oh, it's Gideon and they're like no, no, no,
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 3: he died like they killed him, Like yep, he's a
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 3: war criminal. They killed him. And he's like, no, he's
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 3: the only one who knows my name. That's got to
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 3: be him. Yep, you know even more lore. So it's
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 3: it's really really fun with that introduction to give him
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 3: that kind of ambiance with knowing den Jarren's name. Excuse me,
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 3: I did like all of that. When they mowed down
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 3: everybody in that CANTEENA, it's just like holy, like you
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 3: know what kind of person we're now dealing with, right,
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 3: And it's like, okay, well, how are they going to
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 3: get out of this? Which brings us to episode eight, Katie,
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 3: how did you feel about the face reveal?
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 2: I was super excited when it happened. I do remember going,
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 2: They're to show his face, They're to show his face
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 2: because I didn't know who Pedro Pascal was at this point.
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 2: I did not, so I really like I had seen
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 2: some interviews at this point because I was doing writing
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 2: and I was writing reviews and stuff, so I had
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 2: seen interviews, but I really had not seen him act before,
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 2: and so that was exciting to me when that first happened,
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 2: and I was like, Oh, he's gonna let him do it.
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 2: He's going to let him do it, Oh my gosh.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 2: Like and because we also knew at this point that
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 2: there was going to be a season two, So I knew.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 2: I don't think Matt did, because Matt never likes it
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 2: when I tell him, oh, this has been greenlit for seasons, like,
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 2: he likes to be surprised by those things. So I
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 2: knew that it was going to continue, but like, you
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 2: don't know how it's going to happen, obviously, and especially
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 2: when the dude takes a hit to the back of
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 2: the head, So which is I always questioned why his
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 2: helmet had to be removed because his helm has made
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 2: a best card, So how does head get damaged the
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 2: inside of You think the inside was like he rattled
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 2: his head so hard.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's basically what it was. It like it It
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 3: wasn't damaged from the outside going in. It was the
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 3: blunt damage from the inside of the best guard helmet.
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 2: And that's why I needed an injection of back to
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 2: instead of like over the top.
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 3: Well and like and that was the other thing. I
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 3: was like, the way that the droid. He explains it,
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 3: I actually gotta chuckle out of the CPU.
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 2: Your cpo's been damaged.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 3: He's like, you mean my brain. He's like, yeah, that
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 3: was meant to be a joke. That was to calm
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 3: your nerves.
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 2: But like, my.
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 3: Question is I know he was joking in some sort
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 3: of sentiment, but like, did ging Jarren actually have brain damage?
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 3: Because if he did, I feel like that would affect
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 3: the character and could kind of lead to the kind
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 3: of decisions he's made in season two and season three.
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 3: And we could all blame it on the fact that
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 3: he hit his head too hard inside of his own helmet.
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 3: You know, you're not.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 2: Just a random thought to be a miracle worker at least, so.
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 3: That is true. That is true. But we do get
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 3: the the ohso emotional goodbye two. Oh my goodness, oh yes, hi,
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 3: do you eleven? Do you eleven? I'm dying.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 2: I'm like trying to hold it a cough, don't die, smooth,
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 2: just your mic.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, there we go, there we go. So we
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 3: do say goodbye to IG eleven in this episode, and
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 3: again learning the lesson that he's learned. We also get
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 3: a little bit of an emotional goodbye because Ig eleven says, Hey,
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 3: you don't have to be sad about it, It's just
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 3: my programming. He's like, I'm not sad. He's like, I'm
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 3: a droid. I literally just scanned your voice, your octaves.
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 3: This is the kind of behavior that a sad person has.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 3: So again leaning into a newer jinjar and already and
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 3: then it does leave us this very open ended season two,
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 3: right I the dark say revealed though, Yes, that was
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 3: That's the big thing, and that's what I was gonna
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 3: bring up the fact that, like we have our first
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 3: show of Disney plus first Star Wars show. Hey, not
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 3: a lightsaber in sight?
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 2: And then.
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 3: Out of nowhere the dark Saber dark Saber comes out
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 3: and you're like, holy shit. But also quick thought of
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 3: mine when I first watched the season was hey, why
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 3: do you have? That was more of a thing for me.
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 3: Uh And I really, of course was excited to be like, Okay,
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 3: what does that mean for season two? What does that
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 3: mean for where the Dark Sabor has been since then?
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 3: You know, which was really really fun to think about.
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 3: Of course, we got more of those answers with season
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 3: two and season three and all of that excuse me, so,
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 3: like I do still think that in retrospect of everything
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 3: does Mandalorian Season one has Does it have its flaws? Yes, Yeah,
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 3: definitely has its flaws. Do I still think it's a
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 3: damn good season of television? Yes. It gave us the
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 3: It gave us freaking Bryce Dallas Howard director h and
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 3: I'm grateful for that.
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 2: It gave us Ludwig Gorenson.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 2: Which, by the way, I again listen what like having
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 2: the episodes on the background today I'm mostly listening to
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 2: the dialogue in the music and I'm like, oh my gosh,
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 2: this is just so good, like and like nine times
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 2: I'm ten now when I'm reading, I actually put on
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 2: like Star Wars, like the TV show soundtrack this because
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 2: like it's like, don't get me wrong, John Williams still
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 2: very iconic, but like this like is more like modern style.
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 2: Love it. I just love it.
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 3: And and the one thing that I like about the
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 3: modern style of Star Wars compared to John Williams is
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 3: that modern has way more lows. Yeah, then, because because
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 3: classic Star Wars has a lot of bomb bastic like
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 3: oh like very loud, very like in your face. It's
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 3: like boom, boom boom, but using.
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 2: This basal tone. Yes, And I don't know basel is
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 2: the right word. I'm not the musical oriented one, but.
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 3: I know what you're talking about, like getting getting what
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 3: we do have in Mandalorian. You're able to breathe through
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 3: the music, and that's what I enjoy about it as well. Yeah,
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 3: but what about you final thoughts first? For season one.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 2: Retro, I genuinely like I was so excited with how
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 2: well done this was and just the way that it
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 2: was able to jump off Star Wars television. I know
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 2: there's been lows and highs with the Mandalorian ever since,
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 2: but I really enjoyed this and how it was able
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 2: to step things off in such a good direction. I
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 2: love all the guest characters that we get, all the
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 2: main acting characters, like really spectacular casting decisions in the
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 2: whole zone for this music. I can't talk about the
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 2: music enough, so I'm just gonna leave it at that,
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 2: like it's spectacular. Yeah, I definitely think like this one
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 2: is good. I still think I'm interested to see how
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 2: we approach season two next week, because obviously guys were
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 2: going into our retro for season two next week. H
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 2: With that with me saying that, but we're gonna do
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 2: it a little bit differently because we've talked about the
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 2: individual episodes for season two. But I remember season two
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 2: is my favorite, so I'm curious to see how that
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 2: talk goes next week.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, for the fact that we get to see
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 3: a creat dragon in season two, you know, was like
• 1:31:50

  Speaker 3: I've actually had a lot of fun thinking of some topics,
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 3: and one thing that I do want to go ahead
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 3: and let you guys know about is periodically this year,
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 3: you're gonna hear us talk about rankings. It's one thing
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 3: that we have not done a whole lot of when
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 3: it comes to the bigger part of our show, which
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 3: being the books. So we're gonna be doing a lot
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 3: of rankings for the stuff that I have read, and
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 3: then of course periodically throughout, you know, the next years
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 3: that we have this, we're gonna try and do the
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 3: current years that we're in. So in December, I do have, like, hey,
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 3: every book in twenty twenty six that we have read
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 3: that released that year, we're gonna rank them. And that's
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 3: more so just to kind of keep everything kind of
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 3: categorized and have the because one thing that me and
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 3: Katie have definitely figured out is the types of content
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 3: that we don't have on the show, and so keeping
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 3: that in line periodically throughout the years will help us
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 3: with other topics to kind of squeeze into the schedule.
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 3: There's a couple that I do have already in the
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 3: works in the schedule that I think we're gonna have
