• 0:44
  Speaker 3: or something. I don't know. So there's awkward pauses and

  Speaker 3: Clay has to edit them out or they he just
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: leaves them in whatever, Like, just excuse him, because it's
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: all me.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: My thing is like it's the worst when like winter
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: is fading out and then you just have like the
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: spring flu. That is the worst. I absolutely hate it.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Now I don't have I don't have any sort of sickness,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: but allergies are kicking in and my eyes have been
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: so irritated and I've been itching and wiping my eyes
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: constantly all day and I hate it.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, allergies don't make it any better.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, But I think today's gonna be a little bit
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: of a short episode. There's not a whole lot to
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: talk about.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: We said that last week.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah we did, and then ended up being an hour episode.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: But our main points of Conversation this week, of course,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: are Resistance Season one, as well as our mini review
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: of Star Wars Throng Alliances. As far as other news goes,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: there's not really a whole lot there. We will share
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: one or two things, but that is basically it for
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: this week. So Katie, where do you want to start off?
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: So? First things first, based on the it's basically a
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: lot of comic news, I feel like yeah. So, based
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: on the success of the bat Batch comic, it looks
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: like dark Horse has decided to green light another comic,
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Hyperspace Stories, Tides of Terror, which will be written by
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: George Man We love him, We love you, George, and
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: it will start Kit Fisto and feature Mace, Windu and
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Shakti investigating an underwater research facility on the ocean planet
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: toward Us. The first issue releases July sixteenth.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: I'm just gonna say this, I need more hit Fisto content. Yep.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: I that's like you had me at kit Fisto. That's
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: that's like.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: My sister loves loved kit Fisto. Like when we would
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: always like play Jedi growing up. I was always Mace
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Windu or Anakin, and she was always Kit fisto. Uh,
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: so she was very excited for this. We love prequel content,
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: and we love that dark Horse is attempting to get
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: its comic stuff together, like potentially maybe question Mark other
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: bits of comic news. Doctor Afra Chaos Agent. Uh, that's right,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Doctor Afra is returning to the comic realm, and this
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: ongoing series is going to be written by Cherish Cherish Chin.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: I looked at this article announcement from Collider. I don't
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: know who cherishes? Do you know who cherishes?
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: So Cherish Chin, and I do want to double check this, uh,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: make sure that I'm spelling it correctly.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Actually, well, Clay is looking that up. This series will
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: see her team up again with Luke, but this time
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: her signature tattoos don't work. If you don't know anything
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: about Doctor Afra. She has basically what I would call
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: it electronic tattoos that kind of make slicing into things
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: a little bit easier. Slicing in the Star Wars realm
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: is basically like opening up doors, getting into computers, that
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: kind of thing. There is no tell, there's no there
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: was no like reference to where in the timeline this
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: is happening. The assumption is it's gonna go hand in
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: hand with Alex Sigoura's Star Wars run that is taking
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: off in May, so this will be after Return of
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: the Jedi, but again unknown.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Yes, so Cherish is actually the author of Radiant Red.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: It's part of the Massive Verse. She has had some
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: other projects, but most recently, this is what I know
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: her from. I'm an ambassador of the Massive Verse comics
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: over at Image. So yeah, she did a wonderful job
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: in Radiant Red. I think she's gonna do a magnificent
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: job with this as well. And I just want to say,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: I want to see if I can actually bring up
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: the uh the covers here. I love this second cover,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: this be cover. I don't know what it is, but like,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Luke looks good, Afra looks good. I love the colors here.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: I love the way the green kind of just like yeah,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: really stands out compared to everything else. Like, I love
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: this book as far as the way it looks.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: The artwork on these covers, I love like it's it's
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: some of the most original looking comic art I think
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: that I've seen. So I'm really excited to see who
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: this artist is and looking forward to reading this one.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Of course I need to get in and really finish
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: the Doctor Afra run by Kieran Gillan, and then the
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: run Oh my gosh, what's her name? What's their name?
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I can't remember a lista long. Yes,
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: I really need to do those before I get into this,
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: so I will be attempting to make that a priority
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: before this new series comes out.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Now again, this debut's June eighteenth, so that means for
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: anyone who wants to read it on Marvel Unlimited, that
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: means that it won't be available until mid September. Yep,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: right July August. September is the third month, so either
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: late September early October is probably a better bet on
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: when this will be available, so but if not, you
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: can always pick it up June eighteenth.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: Yep. I will be keeping up with it on Marvel
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: Unlimited because I'm cheap and buying. As I always say,
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: it's just a fact of life.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well for the longest time.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Go ahead, especially now with a toddler. Buying very thin
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: paper books does not make a whole lot of sense.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No, any and all single issues that I am buying,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: I'm actually keeping at my job they are not making
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: their way to my house. But also, uh, and again
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: I've told this story before. It wasn't until Katie reminded
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: me like two months ago that I have been paying
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: for Marvel Unlimited for like almost a whole year and
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: a half now, so I have been trying to uh
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: use that more. We are going to be using it
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: for the Battle of Jaku that we do have planned
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: sometime soon. We do have to talk about that and
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: plan that out. And I just love it. Again, Guys,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: if you do not have a book friend, Katie is
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: my book friend. She like, I see all these people
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: online on book talk and in books to Graham and
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: all this other stuff. They're like, here's my forty seven
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: books I read this month, let me walk through it
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: with you, And I'm just like, god, damn how I Like,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: I even tried to map out because again I'm on
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: this whole book spree thing mapping out Hey, how many
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: books can I attempt to read at the same time
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: in one whole month? And like, currently I finished throng,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: so technically I'm down to two so I can add
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: another one. But I do know that throw on Treason
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: is just right there, and we're gonna have to talk
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: about it soon, so I know I have to jump
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: into it, and I'm just like, I don't think I
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: could be comfortable enough to go past three. You have to.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: It's it's reading different genres. So like, so typically I
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: have at least three going at once, an audiobook, at
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: eat book, and then a physical book.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, so that's.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: And then like typically I have a romance, a fantasy,
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: a star wars, a comic, and then maybe like a
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: mystery because my family book club they like to read
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: a lot of mysteries and I'm not allowed to suggest
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: fantasy because that's just unrealistic. I don't know. Oh, I'm
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: just kidding.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: See, I have the next two books that are on
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: my list is All Systems Read aka The Murder Bought Diaries,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: which is going to be turning into an Apple TV
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Plus show.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: But then I wanted to get another novella, another short book,
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: and I picked up yesterday this is How to Lose
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: a Time War. I can't remember who wrote that one.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: I'll have to double check. But I'm like, Okay, if
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: I keep picking up small books, I think I can
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: get this down. But all the books that I want
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: all the books that like catch my eye at the store.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: They're like freaking this thick, Like, like why people it's
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: okay to write a book that's less than five hundred pages.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: I think that's a that's ultimately a failing in consumerism
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: at the moment because publishers are like, oh, we just
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: need the next big thing. We need the next big
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: thing that goral. So people are like, oh, okay, we
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: have to publish things as soon as possible, so they're
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: cutting out edits Like a lot of times, like those
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: lengthy dialogues descriptions, they would be cut out in the
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: editing process for a cleaner book. But like Iron Flame
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: with Fourth Wing, Iron Flame is the second book in
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: the series. Fourth Wing went viral, Yeah, and it caught
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: way more attention, so Rebecca Yarras had to do a
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: lot more publicity and like she didn't get a chance
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: to like take a break, and so they wanted Iron
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: Flame out asap. Iron Flame is not as cleanly ending
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: as Fourth Wing, Like it doesn't like it's not even
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: like clean innocence, Like yeah, that's what like we're talking
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: about in this instance. But there's like things where you're
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: like hmmm, like that doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: And there's plot holes that came up in Iron Flame
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: that people are so insistent that they're plot holes, and
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: I say they're plot holes, but you could like also
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: explain them as like she's future planning like an easter
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: egg here. Yeah, but a lot of people are like, oh,
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: that was a plot hole that got missed in editing,
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: and so now she's just kind of pigging it up
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: and running with it.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Guys, you see this, I'm picking up thrown alliances right now.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Paperback that that is a nice sized book is now
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know what this was like in hardcover. Of course,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: I let me show you. I was gonna say, of
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: course Katie's gonna show off here real quick. She's just
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: gonna be like, hey.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: It's not showing off. It's a collection. I spent months
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: digging these guys down.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Oh wait, what is the It's just a white book, nothing,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: nothing on the well you take the dust jackets off,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: that's right, that's right. Was it the same cover? I'm curious.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: I've seen people do like fan edit of Anakin being
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: in the place of Darth Vader. I don't like it.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: Not that was not a fan that was actually I
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: think a celebration cover. What, Yeah, do you want to
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: see the book three of the Throng prequel trilogy.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Sure, let mean let me see while I look. While
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: I'm looking this up, Wait, is this This isn't ascendancies,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: is it?
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: Yes? This is book three of the that's.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Right, yeah, I have that book.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I sent it to you.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: You gave it to me because because it was damaged.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was damaged. So yeah, that's so. Yes, like
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: Alliances and Book three side by side.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, so, yeah, it's a little bit thicker, but like.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: Oh no, it is thicker.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: My my thing is. And I guess this can kind
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: of take us into well, actually I think we have
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: a little bit more.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we have more news.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: News all right, y'all, we are going to hit our
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: first ad break and we will be right back in
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: three two one.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: I want to share this small piece of news because
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: it's I don't think it's much of anything, uh, because
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: I don't know when we will ever get to it
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: due to our weird legends scheduling as far as reviews.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: But I will say that this is a gorgeous cover.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: I don't care what anybody says about it. I am
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: showing currently on our live stream Star Wars Shadows of
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: the Empire by Steve Perry, the Essential Legend.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: A good book, by the way.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Why I never knew this as a book? Do you
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: know how I knew this of they made a video
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: game of Shadows of the Empire. I don't know what
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: his name is, but the dude that has like this
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: brown like shoulder vest thing, he's the main character of
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: that game. And that's all it. Like, whenever I hear
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Shadows of the Empire, I immediately think of Nintendo sixty four. Like,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: so when I saw this, I like immediately gravitated towards
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: it because like, oh, I didn't know it was a book.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Seeing this now, this is a gorgeous cover.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And somebody had asked if it was a I
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: I believe Randon House World said it's not AI, but
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: I haven't seen the artist listed for it. But it's
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: really beautiful and it has been a while since I've
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: read this book. But it really is a killer book, y'all.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: It's got Boba fett uh, It's got like, oh gosh,
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: I can't remember his name. I know he's a prince,
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: but like Xander or something, the green skinned guy in
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: the background. I love him as a villain. I know
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: that might be like cliche, but he's a really good
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: villain in my opinion. So if you're interested in this book,
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: this is definitely the time to pick it up.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: For sure, I will be looking out for it mm hmm.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: But I will go ahead and take this time to
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: shout out bookshop dot org people. I'm not going to
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: tell you to stop going to Barnes and Noble, because
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: then I would be a hypocrite. But I will tell
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: you to stop going to Amazon. I know it's convenient,
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: I know everything else, but bookshop dot org. You sign up,
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: it basically ties your account to the closest or you
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: can choose the closest bookstore brick and mortar bookstore in
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: your area. Your pre order books, they will get to
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: you as quickly as possible. And and I still haven't
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: done this yet because I will admit I have two
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: audio audiobooks on Audible that I really want to listen
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: to before I completely give up Audible. But libro dot
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: fm has audiobooks as well, and the subscription to libro
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: dot fm, every single month that money goes directly to
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: the bookshop of choice that you chose for bookshop dot com.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: So that's something I'm going to be doing in the future.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: I'm going to lose all of my High Republic books
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: from Audible, which is really sad, but I'm going to
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: try to get them back with this libro dot fm account.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: So you should be able to download them. We can
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: talk about that afterwards, but you should be able to
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: download the audio files because I've done that and like
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: put them into like my Apple music and stuff.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: Then I will definitely want to talk to you after this.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: But yeah, so for all of your Essential Legends stuff,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: all of the future High Republic books we only have
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: three more left, as well as in the and all
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: future Star Wars books support some local businesses people. That
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: is it for the book news. I do believe, yes,
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: that is it. And currently well, I do want to
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: bring up this before we get onto the trailer for
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: and Or. You shared this little thing on I believe
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Instagram analytics show that the Acolyte is still high in
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: demands fans push for a renewal. We have said this
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: time and time again. People like new content, That's a given, ye,
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: people like new things in Star Wars. Do you know
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: what proves that the Acolytes and the Skeleton Crew people
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: were really excited every single week for Skeleton Crew, it
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: is the two most different shows to come out on
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Disney Plus. And I just don't see what. Well, I
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: do see why. I do see why. Unfortunately, but in
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: the hilariously successful, by the way way that the MCU
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: is going back on some decisions and it working. We
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: saw that today as the time we were recording this,
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: they should go back. And when I say they, I
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: mean Disney should go back on their decision of the Accolade.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: I will say that until I'm blue in the face,
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: same hair, because it.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: This really worked as a show, and sometimes you have
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: to spend money to make money. And this show was
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: filmed in the middle of COVID, in the middle of
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: a strike. Like yes, okay, they paid assistance and made
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: sure that they have living expenses while the show was
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: put on pause. Oh my gosh, you paid people and
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: enabled them to have benefits and stuff like yeah.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: And that's why I say, like, I know the reason why.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: I know why some of the most idiotic decisions are
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: made in Hollywood. It's just it baffles me every single
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: time I see a decision like this made, it's just
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: like I because because we've said it here more than once,
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: I've said I know that I've said it here more
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: than once. I'm tired of seeing the same song and dance.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: I don't want to say, see the same thing over
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: and over and over again.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: And there's just a really weird corner of this fandom
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: that just thinks Star Wars is episode four and that
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: is it. And I just don't understand.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: Why it doesn't make any sense whatsoever, Like at the
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: end of the day, like we want to grow with
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: our content and not see the same thing over and
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: over again. You and I have said that a bazillion times,
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: like we said, so we're not going to be at
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: a dead horse over here. But yep, we do think
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: the Accolade deserves a second chance. And of.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Yes, now I will be sharing this on our screen,
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: but I will not be putting it at full screen.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: I will keep it here in this small little bubble
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: and or second trailer. O, Katie, you reminded me that
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: I still needed to watch this. I watched this literally
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: moments before we went live. Katie, how do you feel
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: about the second trailer a little. I love this, you do, Okay,
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: tell me about why.
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: Mad Mockma in particular, like her getting to see her
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: speech or like bits of her speech is like killer.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: But also seeing our characters in like this moment Aun
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: d'antuine where they're like eating and like chilling and eating lunch.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: But then you have like, oh, crap, the empire is here,
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: K two s O. I'm assuming beating up a guy
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: like h Crinic with the test star that that scene.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: And then yeah, we're gonna talk about it.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: Do you think she's getting force choked or is she
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: having a panic attack? My boat is panic attack.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: But so that is the big question. Okay, that is
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: the big question. I've seen a lot of different people
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: trying to make and people hate watch even the trailers,
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: which I think is dumb. But they're like, oh, is
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: this gonna be another one of those moments where they're
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: forced to put Darth Vader in the long hallway just
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: so that way people can get excited about and or
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: shut people were excited about and or before this. The
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: idea of her being force choked worries me a little bit.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: I don't think that Darth Vader needs to show up,
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: because that was never what the first season, Like, I
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: didn't watch season one expecting Darth Vader.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: Darth Vader doesn't need to be in everything. He doesn't.
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: I totally agree to Gilroy makes a very good Star Wars,
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: and he has like been in interviews and is like,
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: this is probably the most important thing that I will
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: ever make, and it's all in the political commentary. And
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: the idea here is that there's always a bigger There's
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: always bigger fish. Basically, you don't need to see the
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: bigger fish to make it happen. It the bigger fish
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: is in the Death Star. Being present, is in critic
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: being here, like is in monmokamous speech. We're presumably like
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: like we have like the Senate and like Palpatine potentially
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: listening in. We don't need the hand of the Sith
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: here like manipulating things like yeah.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: And and that have a panic attack. The the idea,
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: like you said, the bigger fish is the Death Star's presence.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: Season one, we didn't see the Death Star until the
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: very last scene. The last frame of season one was
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: the reveal of the Death Star. Here we see a
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: little bit of it because now we see the progression
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: of time, we see how much the death Star has
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: been made. That's all you need, that threat, because we
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: know that the whole reason for and Or as a
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: show is to get us to that first scene with
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Cassian in Rogue one. We know that that's the whole
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: reason why this show exists, is to show the evolution
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: of Cassian, to show how like the crazy decisions that
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: he will probably be making in this season. Right, So,
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: when it was first presented to me that she could
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: have a panic attack, I was like, okay, But then
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: the second person showed a really cool gift that they
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: had made, which in season one, she adjusts her collar
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: ever so slightly, and then the gift immediately turns into
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: this scene where she's like trying to like get those
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: collar off.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: And those collars are very high on a uniform and
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: they look like a marine collar, which is intentionally very
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: high because it's supposed to like indicate like armor and stuff.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: But armor is also very suffocating. And in this instance,
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: if you are panicking about something, wouldn't you want to
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: remove the tree?
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, to Breathe want to breathe, And I want it
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: to be the panic attack because a part of me
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: wants to see people get angry that like, oh man,
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: it wasn't Darth Vader.
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: We're gonna go into our second ad break and we'll
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: be right back.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: I know she if it is a panic attack, look
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: at her expression right now. She's gonna sell the hell
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: out of that freaking scene. Yep, I want to see
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: that scene.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: Like, and you can say, oh, well, Darth Vader was
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: in Rogue one. Rogue one was also going to theaters
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: where they had the potential to make bookus of money.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: There is no money making business in this, Like we
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: know Disney is constantly losing money on Disney plus, like,
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: there's no reason to put Darth Vader in here to
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: bring more people to see them to see the shot.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: And you know, there's there's still the conversations of like,
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: are we getting a Mando season four? Are we not
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: getting Mando season four? Is that what the movie's there for?
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Are we gonna get anything after Ahsoka season two? Like
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: the future of Star Wars television is literally unknown, correct,
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: So we can assume by default, like, hey, there's there's
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: nothing to lose in making just a quote unquote normal
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: political Star Wars story without the use of lightsabers, from
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: time to time we have made the comment, Oh, these
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: Star Wars shows have the Star Wars or have the
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: lightsaber problem. This show is not one of them.
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So I think that it is going to be
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: a very interesting conversation, to say the least. But I
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: really like this trailer the I like how it starts
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: off slow. The beginning of this trailer is very slow.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: It's very somber, but as like up to the moment
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: where you see Cassie and fly out of that hangar,
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: it just starts to build up and up and up
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: and up and up, and that I think is very
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: much telling of how the season's gonna be. Yeah, I
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: think we're gonna see a lot of those low moments
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: in the very beginning of the season, and then once
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: that second week hits weeks three and four, it's all
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: going to crash. Like it's not and not in the
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: sense of being bad, but I mean like we've hit
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: the pinnacle and now we get to see how everything
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: kind of goes to shit for both sides of this war.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: So I think it's gonna be a lot of fun.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: I'm really really excited. We have a little under a
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: month before we get there. So we'll see. We shall see, indeed.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: Very The next thing, well, really, the only thing we
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: have left on the news cycle is Ahsoka.
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: Season two has seemingly started filming. Yeah, which is interesting
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: because we have celebration in three weeks. So why would
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: you start filming right now?
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: I know why, because you film somewhat close to celebration
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: and then you legit just fly them to celebration. They'd
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: be like, hey, we're here. Yeah, that's what I feel.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, especially when Ansoka has a panel all dedicated to
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: itself and is one of the main ticket items. I'm
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: interested to see what will come of this.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: I will be interested to see because again, we've seen
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: a lot of rumors, and we've also seen the lack
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: thereof rumors. I feel like we've seen less rumors than
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: we did season one before that started filming. Do we
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: get the heavily rumored Obi Wan Kenobi Anakin Skywalker Clone
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: Wars flashback? Yeah?
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: Now. From what I remember, this was a fully shot
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: volume production, so no set photos leaked. Do they go
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: the same round? Do you think that's the way they
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: do it?
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: I think they said they were using the volume a
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: lot less this season is what the rumor has been.
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: So I think we'll see more leaks. I don't know
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: necessarily what for.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll be interesting. I'm excited. Same here, very very excited.
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: We won't get it until twenty twenty seven, you know, but.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: I mean we are gonna have plenty of content between then.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: I mean we have Visions free to look theoretically, Yeah,
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: theoretically we have Visions Season three to look forward to.
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: We have.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm I'm Vision season three, Vision Season three.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: Mandalorin and Grogu in twenty twenty.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: Six, Yes, Mendlori and Grogu, And I mean Sean Levy's movie.
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: Probably coming out before twenty twenty seven.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say, probably not getting that until
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: twenty seven, so who knows.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: We'll see plenty of content.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and guys, we know I said that more in
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: the sense of Katie and I will have more content
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: with more and more books to read books.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: We always have books.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: Yes, all right, so Katie, let's go ahead and talk resistance.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: This was my first time watching this show. Was this
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: your first time watching this show?
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: No? I think this is like my seventh time through
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: it because I watched it for the first time, and
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: then we've tried to review it I think two other
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: times before this, Yeah, and we ended up skipping it.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: So I had watched it for all those occasions and
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: then like my sister wanted to watch it and stuff.
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: So yes, I've watched this before. So for those of
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: you who are unaware, Resistance is the sequel trilogy animated
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: TV show that was created by Dave Filoni and was
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: executive produced by Dave Filoni. It only ran for two
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: seasons for a total of forty episodes. Season one takes
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: place primarily before the Force awakens and ends with the
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: Cosmian System getting blown up in General Hux's speech and
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: everything that takes place in the second to last episode
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: of the season or part one of the final episode
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: of the season, and then episode so two takes place
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: or episode two. Season two takes place during the Last
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: Jedi and up to the lead up to the rise
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: of Skywalker, So that's kind of your time reference associated
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: with the show. It has a very different animation style.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: How did you feel about the animation style.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: I did not like it at first. At first. I
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: felt that it was a little weird, especially when we
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: are looking at Poe Damaran's characters. Specifically, for some reason,
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: Poe Damren's character looks like he has one honker of
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: a nose in this animation style. When you look at
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: Poe dammeron, I don't think he has that bad of
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: a looking nose, but it is so intensely profound in
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: this animation style for some stupid reason. But this isn't
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: an actual like impersonator. This is actually the man himself.
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: Yes, in season one, Oscar Isaac portray's Poe damn Roon
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: and in season two, because I do believe he's in
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: season two. Yeah, So Captain FAsMA is voiced by Gwendolen
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: Christie in season one and season two is different. Domhall
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: Gleason portrays General Huh in season one, does not portray
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: him in season two.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: Basically, what ends up happening is they realize how big
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: their name is and then they're like, hey, we want
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: more money, and then Disney was like, hey we can
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: replace you. Yeah, so and and more so we can
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: replace your voice. So that's why I can see there
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: being a huge change in making uh for their voices there.
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm actually looking at it. I don't I don't
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: think Poe is actually in season two. Yeah, he's not
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: in season two. It was just FAsMA, which makes sense
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: because with season two taking place over the last Jedi,
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: Poe's a little busy. So yeah, but we're here about
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: season one.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: Yes, uh so my question to you is how did
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: you feel about this cast of characters?
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: So I find the cast of characters generally a little frustrating.
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: I really enjoy Yeager. I think Yeager is the brush
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: brusque character that is desperately needed in the show. Everybody
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: else is just a little too goofy, And I know
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: everybody thinks animation is supposed to be for kids. I
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: feel like this is like the first time Disney Like
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: takes that legitimately serious.
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say now here. They stay true to
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: Star Wars. They still make this a political show in
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: I think the most bottom of the bar a way
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: that you can with it still being Star Wars. But
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: when you look at the story, you look at the
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: story beats, you look at the the moments of comedic
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: timing and all of these other things, this does feel
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: like it is quote unquote a little bit of a
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: downgrade compared to that of Rebels and Clone Wars.
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and Resistance still has people who genuinely love it,
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: and people have been trying because a lot of people
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: have said Resistance was originally greenlit for three seasons, very
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: standard to Star Wars and kind of figuring things out
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: for these shows, but it got cut off very quickly.
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: So it has a lot of fans in that regard,
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: and you'll see like Resistance remembered and people have been
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: like trying to figure out why it never got like
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: DVD releases and whatnot. So it still has fans. And
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying it's a bad show just compared to
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: other animated shows, even that bad season one. Like I
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: would say this is probably my least favorite one of
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: the bunch. And I don't mind that Kaz is very
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: naive and tends to have a lot of stuff go
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: wrong for him. What I do mind is I feel
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: like he's just one of many characters that are a
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: little naive or still trying to figure things out, namely Niku,
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: because I feel like Niicto characters in Star Wars aren't
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: as literal as he is, and he seems very like
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: I don't know the word, but he's he's very serious.
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: But it makes fun of being serious and like taking
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: things literally. Torah another character that feels just a little
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: too naive along with Kaz, So I feel like having
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: all three of them involved in that way lessons how
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: the show ultimately feels as far as being able to
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: take the show seriously.
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: Yep. I agree. I got really annoyed with Kaz very
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: early on with the show because there is this h
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: ignorance kind of thing with him. He is a NEPO baby,
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: so like there's this this whole idea of like, oh,
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: has he really earned the things that he's done. But
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: you that's one thing that I actually do really like
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: about his character is that like he talks all this
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: man wanting to be a spy and he's so excited
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: to kind of, you know, have this thing fall into
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: his lap or whatever. But like he was in the Navy,
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: m it's not like he like is a legitimate NEPO
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: baby that just doesn't sit around and do anything. He
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: actually has some sort of effort in the resistance, so
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: and I like he really like that.
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and he impresses Poe without Poe knowing who he
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: was at all, like with his flying capabilities, so he
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: has the talent and clearly like he goes to ask
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: his father's permission, which we have seen his father before.
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: This is his first appearance, Senators, you'll.
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: Know, and we're about to jump into our third ad, y'all.
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: We promise we'll be right back. We promise. The senator
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: has also been in the Mandalorian, and I believe he
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: was also in Ahsoka.
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: Yes he was.
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: So he's making appearances. They're making connections.
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: Although in season one of Resistance you've never seen it.
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: Correct, you just hear the voice, so fair points, fair points.
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: But like he goes to ask his father for permission
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: in that instance, and his father's like, oh, you just
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: want something else from me, and Kaz is like, no,
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: I don't, Like, I don't need your permission to go
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: do this, because that's basically what he was looking for is, Hey,
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: you're a senator in the New Republic. I want to
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: go help the Resistance? Can I do that? Yes, sir? Now,
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: and we all know what happens. Let me turn on
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: my overhead light because I am darkening very fast.
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: So I really dug the way that Haz and BB
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: eight had this relationship. But I really love the moment
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: that Poe comes into any episode BB eight, it's like
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: peace out, dude, that's my human, which I think is
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: actually really hilarious. But one thing that I really enjoyed
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: about this season was uh oh crap, I forget his name.
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: The guy that's in charge of the entire base does. Yes,
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: he has a little bit of a background. He is
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: uh a ex uh imperial imperial Yeah, And it's like
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: it's really awkward because like the moment you see it,
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: it's uh he And the reason why you even find
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: out is like Kaz decides to hide in his office
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: when he's trying to, you know, be a spy, and
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: you just see the old uniform and it like it
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: kind of makes you feel like a little icky. Is
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: like why would you keep it? You know, like like
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: if you're wanting to move forward, is it just like
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: to remind you of what could still be? Or like
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: what I like, it just feels kind of weird. But overall,
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: he for the most part is legitimately making the right decisions,
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: not only for his daughter but for everybody there, Like
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: he wants to make those right decisions. Mike.
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: Another question that I had for you is we actually
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: got some force sensitive individuals on this show. You're looking
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: at me like I'm crazy.
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: Oho, do you think is more sensitive the children? So
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: I don't have I don't think they're technically for sensitive.
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: What.
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I like there's some decision making that they have,
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: and I'm pretty sure like whether it be like force
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: insight or something that like is kind of on the
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: nose that like makes it in a way obvious that
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: they're more sensitive. Do you not think that they are?
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: Okay? So, Wikipedia, I didn't think there were Wikipedia has
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: Ilah the sister as a force sensitive human female. Yeah,
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: kel is not listed as for sensitive.
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: Okay, so the brother is not, but she is, Yeah.
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: And I think so. I think the basis of so
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: the basis for her for sensitivity is the dreams that
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: she has. Oh Like in the Beibo episode, she has
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: dreams about uh Bibo's mother coming to the station, and
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: so that appears to be their only reference for her
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: for sensitivity is the dreams. You learn more about them
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: in the second season, so I don't want to dive
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: too far into them.
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, I have not seen a single episode season. Yeah,
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: I was waiting. I was waiting until we actually move forward. Uh.
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: So that way it would be fresh on my mind
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: when we talk.
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I don't remember. I just was looking them
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: up because they're from the planet Tahar, and so I
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: was looking up Tahar and it comes back into play
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: in the second season. So that's like my only memory
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: because it's been a while since I've seen season two.
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: So yeah, but uh, I do like this show also,
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: were not not having a lot of filler. I think
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: mostly every episode is somewhat connected. They make progress throughout
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: the show in the sense of the story moves.
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: Forward, the characters are built out.
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, there there is, and I feel like, well
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: not that I feel. I hope that there's more fleshed
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: out for Yaeger in season two. But I feel like
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: the one episode that he got with his brother, I
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: think it was, uh was it his brother or was
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: it just like an old friend. I can't remember exactly.
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: I do think it is his brother.
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, where they do like the small little race or whatever.
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: I do hope that we get more into his backstory
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: from from what we have already got.
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: I remember the episode. I think Disney Plus did something
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: funny because I was when I finished episode eight last
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: night and then I put episode nine, I played it,
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: and I think it skipped the episode that you're talking about,
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: but I remember the episode. It did something funny where
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: it was like, I think it picked up on episode
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: ten instead of episode nine when I was strange playing
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: through so because I was like, I know that episode
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: was in here, So yeah, I did not get to
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: that episode because it was doing funny.
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: Thanks, But uh, how did you how did you feel
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: about or do you think they did enough in at
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: least in season one? Again, I haven't seen season two,
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: so I can't really ask for it, but how did
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: you feel about season one giving you those little breadcrumbs
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: for what is to become in The Force Awakens and
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: the rest of the sequel trilogy.
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: I really like how that's fleshed out and how sorry
• 54:30
  Speaker 3: I left my phone volume on apparently, I like how
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: they fleshed it out and involving Poe in Like, I
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: haven't read the Poe comic that's all on Marvel Unlimited,
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: but now I'm like, I kind of want to go
• 54:44
  Speaker 3: in and read that just to kind of see if
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: that comic plays off these episodes. Any knowing soul, there's
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: potential there for what he could potentially have pulled in,
• 55:01
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I kind of really dig it now. I
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: think some of like the stuff with FAsMA, and I
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: know the speech from Hucks is like dialogue pulled from
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: the movie. Like there's no like additional at least Hucks
• 55:18
  Speaker 3: is pulled from the movie. If not Gwendol and Christie stuff. Yeah,
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: So I would be interested to see, uh how much
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: they actually filmed, because I feel like if Christy was
• 55:32
  Speaker 3: involved a lot more, I feel like that could build
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: a lot up because I just have Delilah Dawson's FAsMA
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: novel in my head and I just love the depth
• 55:45
  Speaker 3: that her character gets.
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: In that.
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: It doesn't answer your question. I kind of went on
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: the tangent, but it's so good.
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: It's so good. Well because you I can't remember what
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: they named the weapon in Force Awakens struck the star Killer.
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: You get the like the small inklings of that in
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: Season one of Resistance, and I think that is very smart.
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: Like even if you're like a young kid that is
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: starting to pick up things like contact clues and you've
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: seen The Force Awakens, you watch some of these episodes,
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: you're like, oh my gosh, that's the thing from the
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: other movie, you know, And I think that's really great.
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: I think it's really fun when in a universe like
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: Star Wars you can do these things and actually have
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: somewhat of consequences because you can play off of what's
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: to come in the future. So I really do like that.
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: I see if I have any other questions or any
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: comments towards this, I mean, we've we've talked about Kaz.
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: I think that, of course, this is his show, so
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: he has the most character development, and I think that's
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: one thing I will say. The other characters don't have
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: enough development. They're kind of just the characters that they
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: are mm hmm, and they're.
• 57:33
  Speaker 3: Just and that's what you need multiple seasons, because I
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: feel like in season one of Rebels, your story is
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: mostly focused on Ezra, but as you get on into
• 57:50
  Speaker 3: further seasons, the rest of the Rebels crew is able
• 57:53
  Speaker 3: to be fleshed out a little bit more. But in
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: this case, you spend most of season one trying to
• 58:03
  Speaker 3: get just a basis for your character overall, and that
• 58:07
  Speaker 3: character you have to pick and choose, and that has
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: to be Cas. In this instance, you do get more
• 58:12
  Speaker 3: time with the other characters in season two, but it's
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: just you're limited by having to build a basis for
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: the story and flushing out the Colossus.
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: Also, yeah, yeah, I agree, but you got anything else
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: to add?
• 58:37
  Speaker 3: I do not. I think it's an okay show. There's
• 58:44
  Speaker 3: definitely some high points, but I just don't want to
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: dwell on the negative feels.
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: And like we always say, it is okay to just
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: be okay. Correct point of conversation. In this episode that
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: we said was not going to be a very long episode,
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: we are rounding up to the one hour mark Star
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: Wars Thron Alliances.
• 59:16
  Speaker 3: I forgot how much I love this book.
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: Adrian and Katie told me that if I liked Star
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: Wars Thron, then I will absolutely love Thron Alliances. And Guys,
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: I was prepared for this my entire time reading. I
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: kept a Batman bookmark because I can't believe I'm saying this,
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: but when I read Thron and his thought process, I
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: think of Batman. That shouldn't make any sense. Ron is
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: a bad I should not be thinking of Batman when
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: I think of Thron, and that's exactly what I think
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: of when I read this book. When I read the
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: way that Thron thinks, he moves, every single step has purpose.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 4: And this should be our final ad break. So y'all,
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 4: thanks for bearing with us.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: We appreciate y'all. We'll be right back.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: Am I not a Thron fan. I don't know how
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: I feel about this. I Well, first I want to
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: say rip to every single so far female perspective with
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: Timothy's on because unfortunately, the only story that I was
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: not hugely like, like, I wasn't shopping at the bit
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: to like finish her story because I wanted to know
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: the rest of her story or her part of the
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: story was Paden's part. And like they connected it very well.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: It got to a point where they, you know, got
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: to the climax of the movie and they're like, Okay,
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: everybody's together and we're gonna see how they get out
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: of this. But like every single time it became pad
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: Ma's part of the book, I was just like, Okay,
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: this is important, let's get through this. I'm reading it,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: and I don't know if it's because Timothy's Zoon doesn't
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: know how to write these characters, or if it was
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: just him saying, hey, this is our bridge to get
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: where we need to go between the future and past
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: of Darth Vader, Enthron and Anakin and Thron.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 3: I think he does a little bit better with the
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 3: female perspectives when it's characters he could be more flexible with.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 3: But Padme is by definition not a very flexible character.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 3: So Zoon writes his characters a very specific way, with
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 3: a fluid okay, I can't really say fluid dialogue because
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 3: it's it's very robotic, and that lends itself very well
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 3: to Thron's character because the Chiss species are very robotic
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 3: in nature. And then you have Vader, who does very
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 3: well at being a robot because he's mostly robot. Anakin
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 3: is kind of getting in that direction because this is
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 3: after Ahsoka has left the order. This takes place in
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 3: like the six month period when she's completely gone from
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 3: his life and everything, so he's kind of having to
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 3: deal with that, and for most of the book he
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 3: doesn't have Padme. He's worried about Padme, so that automatically
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 3: brings out the I have no emotions Anakin because he
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 3: doesn't know what to do with himself because he's worried
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 3: about losing somebody in his life.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: There was a moment near the end of this book
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: where I thought Anakin was lying to Padme, which moment
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: blowing up the caves m the moment everything starts going
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: to shit. Padme is like, what's going on? And then
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: that one guy I can't remember his name off the
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: top of my head, leb Jow leb Jow. He's like,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: that's my planet. What are you doing to my planet?
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: And Anakin's like, I don't know, I just blew up
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: a cave. I'm like, Anakin, that's a really bad lie.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: Like that is like, you're not pulling anybody. You just
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: went on a rant about how we should probably destroy
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: the factory and all this other stuff. That's a really
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: bad lie. Stop lying. But then of course it goes
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: into the conversation of the cartosis and how it deflects
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: energy and all of this other stuff. So I was like, wow,
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: it actually saved you, so you're not lying. Cool? But kay,
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: this book was almost five stars?
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 3: Almost? Is it because of the time skipping around?
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: No? It is literally let me actually look into how
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: many pages that they nearly perfect?
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: Okay, it was.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: Less than a page and a half at the end
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: of the book. This is literally the last two pages,
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: literally one it is the third paragraph to the end
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: is where they lost. When Vader begins to basically tell Thron, Oh,
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: you have an amazing ship. By the way, that Tide
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: Defender is great, but it needs to be faster, it
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: needs to have more guns, but it's a great ship.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: I'm like, that's Anakin talking. That's not Darth Vader. And
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: I am upset. I am so upset at that moment.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: And it's immediately after they have the conversation, because again
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: they I knew. I knew, more so because people told me.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure that Katie X deadly told me at
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: one point of talking about Legends books, well, just about
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: Thron's relationship with Anakin.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 3: Is that.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: And because I've read Star Wars Thron that I knew
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: Thron was going to figure it out. I knew Thron
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: was going to put two and two together. Hey, there's Vader,
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: there's Anakin. I fought with Anakin before I'm fighting with
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: Darth Vader. Now, I knew that there was going to
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: be a moment where Thron would subtle have aha moment.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: It wasn't even that, guys, it wasn't even that. It
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: felt like he knew the entire time, and he just
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: like he made one offhand comment, just one, and Darth
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: Vader was like, bitch, Darth the bitch. Anakin is dead. Okay,
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: Anakin is dead. And I love how there was moments
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: in the book where Thron was like, oh, you know,
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: that's right, he's dead, Like oh yeah, okay, okay, yeah, yeah,
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: yeah yeah. But at the end of the book, when
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: Vader basically says, this is the last time you're going
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: to speak that name. Anakin is dead, and Theron says,
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: I know, he gives Vader the vindication. He says, hey,
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: I know who you were, but I know who you
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: are now. Is basically what Thron was saying. I like
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: it that progression. It's that small little storytelling within the
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: bigger story that I really dug there. I really did
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: like it. I again, I love the like almost like
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: on the spectrum type of thinking and like no emotions
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: throng where he's like, I have a mission. The man's
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: a freaking robot. He's an android, Like that's what he is,
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: He's I have a mission. Hey, this is the most
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: logical sense I have ever since before in my life.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: Why is nobody ever thinking about this stuff? But a
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: weird way, Again, you're not supposed to root for the
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: bad guy, but for some reason, it's damn bunk. You're
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: rooting for the bad guy. There is a there is
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: a is it a commander? I can't remember who? No, no, no, no,
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: not Kiemen, the female the one that is like basically
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: commodore Pharaoh. Yes, commodore Pharaoh. H fiora pharaoh? Is it pharaoh? Okay?
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: He's like teaching her and like giving her these like
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: weird like pats on the back, but not pats on
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: the back, Like it's like she acknowledged that he is
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: like acknowledging her and like, oh, just by the expression,
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 2: I know that I'm doing a good job and this
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: is how we do things. And I'm like, this is
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: exactly what he did in the first book. He was like, oh,
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: hey did you see this? Oh hey, what did you
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 2: think of this? This was on a much smoother level,
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 2: I think because we got to see Sarah. Well, Sarah
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 2: was actually like she was talking it out. It wasn't
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 2: Yron saying hey, what do you think is going on here?
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: She was kind of getting it as he was, and
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: that was a treat within itself for them.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because you have that where she learned in Thrawn,
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 3: like hey, I'm okay to talk things out with Ron,
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 3: like he's not going to yell at me if I
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 3: speak my mind on something and stuff. So she's already
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 3: made that progression into Okay, we're good here, like I'm good,
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 3: I can talk this out and learn in the moment.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: My question to you, and I guess you, well, I
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: do want to know, but I don't want to know
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: because you've read all these.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 3: Yes, but it's been a while since I had read.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: All these Okay, so the big twists in this book,
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: and I also love that it's like the only way
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: Thron can kick Bader in the nuts for the entire
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: book is like I know something you don't know. You
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: don't I know something you don't know, and you're not
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: gonna like it. The Chiss Children, the force sensitive Chiss Children.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 3: The sky Walk.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that is what I was gonna say. What the hell?
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: What is that about? Do we learn more?
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 3: You do learn more? They are decently present in the
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 3: next book, but Zoon goes ham into them in the
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 3: prepel trilogy.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: With the with the Yeah. I told myself that I
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: wasn't gonna get sucked in to this whole throng freaking
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: fandom because I thought it was stupid. God damn it.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 3: But like, so, this is the Throng that I see
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 3: in the Air to the Empire trilogy, But I see it.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 3: It's the same Thron. But in this perspective you're getting
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 3: the Empire's perspective, but Air to the Empire you're getting
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 3: the Republic's perspective.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 2: But also that's what I wanted to talk to you about.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: This Thron is not the Thron in Asoka.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 3: Correct it? Pass me off? I don't know, I don't
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 3: know how you go. Hey, I'm going to bring in
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 3: Zon to character consult on the live action interpretation of Thron.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 3: And you can say that Thron has been jaded for
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 3: being in another galaxy for years or whatever. You can
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 3: say that, but like, you don't change that much that character.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: Not only that, not only that, but like I knew,
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: I knew because we talked about it. There's a lot
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 2: of reactions for it. But the moment you see Thron's
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: reaction to Ahsoka being a padawan of Anakin Skywalker, I
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: am now remembering that scene. Wasn't enough, wasn't there? There
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: wasn't enough meat and potatoes, as I like to say,
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: in that scene. When we now know the kind of
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: past that Anakin and Thron had, not only that, the
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: kind of past that Thron and Vader had, because Thron
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 2: knows who Vader is.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 4: And this should be our final ad break. So y'all,
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 4: thanks for bearing with us. We appreciate y'all. We'll be
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 4: right back.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: That is what I'm starting to get pissed.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 3: Off about, and that Throne doesn't teach. He intentionally wastes lives,
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 3: like yeah, when they are taking off and one of
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 3: the Night Sisters is like, well what about Balen And
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 3: he's like, so fuck him, Like basically is what he's like.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 3: But that Thront does not exist in this book.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, No, Like if anything in Ahsoka, I feel like
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: we should have known. And again and again, the thing is,
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: with it being Ahsoka, we can be seeing the other side, right,
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: We could very much be seeing the fact that he
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 2: is just a villain. He is he is not the
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 2: person that we are glorifying him to be in the
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: Throng trilogy, right, So I could see it being that
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: you could make an easy argument for that, but I
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: think it's a lazy argument.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 3: It's very lazy argument, and it's felony basically going, hey,
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 3: this character is well beloved. It's going to hit the
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 3: ideological fanboy aka like the idiots of the Star Wars
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 3: fans end quotes, but it's also going to give me
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 3: the opportunity to continue using the character that I love,
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 3: which is Ahsoka. It's a lazy writing and it's why
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 3: he shouldn't be in charge of lucasfilm.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, one, I agree with you, But what I
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: was saying is that, like even in Ahsoka, we should
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: have seen more of the chess game that he was playing,
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 2: and we didn't get any of that. Like you were saying,
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: he used people as the diversion, as the way to escape,
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: to be that new emperor or whatever you know, And
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: I just.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 3: Sorry. The new Emperor is never what Thron wanted to be.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 3: He's never wanted to be in charge. He wanted to
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 3: take care of his people and make sure everybody gets
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 3: out alive. He wants peace, but he does it. He
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 3: doesn't want it the Chist way, which in the Ascendency
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 3: trilogy you learn more about that perspective, about the hey,
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 3: we don't attack first kind of.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 2: Thing, and I love that part. I love that back
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 2: and forth in this book the entire time, self conscious,
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: fucking Invader, which who would have thought that would ever
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 2: come out of anybody's mouth. Oh he spoke to the
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 2: boss without me. Oh, I don't know what they were.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: Were they talking about me? Is he trying to replace me? Oh? No, bah.
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 2: But there's this constant back and forth between Vader and
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: and Thron throughout this entire book. Oh so you're a trader.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 2: Oh so you were just looking out for yourself. Oh
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: you're looking to replace me. Oh you want my job?
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: Like back and forth and back and forth. And is like, dude,
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 2: I don't want anything from you. My entire job is
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: to serve the empire. M but my mission is to
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: protect my people.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 3: And I can protect the Empire and my people at
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 3: the same time.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: And Vader got pissed off about it. He was like, oh, vindication,
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: I could finally kill him because he basically admitted to treason.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: And Thron was like, you saw me, just do both. Yeah,
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: I can do both. I will always be in the
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: best interest of the Empire, but it will not be
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: without protecting my people. And I was like, god, they
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 2: are It was good. I really liked it. But yeah,
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: four and five stars. One thing did irk me in
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 2: the beginning of the story that I wasn't entirely sure
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: how I would feel about it, and I kind of
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: got used to it. But like the way that Zon
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: wrote Anakin and eventually Vader with like the inner thoughts
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: of when he was using his lightsaber, the double vision
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: and like concentrating on his next movements, I felt like
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: was trying to be too much like Thron in the moment,
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 2: and I didn't really feel that, but I was just like, Okay,
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: this is what we're doing for the character. We'll yeah.
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 3: So that it was basically setting up for when Vader
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 3: does the skywalking at the end, because that's what that's
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 3: what skywalking is. It's precognition of what's about to happen next.
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 3: So Vader doing that and Anakin doing that, like you
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 3: have to articulate that on a page somehow. So the
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 3: best way to do that was like, Hey, here's what
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 3: this guy's about to do, and it's not something that
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 3: we've seen and it can really do before. But we
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 3: also haven't really gotten a whole lot from Anakin's perspective
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 3: because the Clone Wars is from Ahsoka and the Clones perspective,
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 3: and then the comics that we've gotten have all been
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 3: from Obi Wan's perspective, so really I would consider this
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 3: like the first time you get Anakin's perspective in a book.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, But nevertheless, I enjoyed.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 5: It very It's it's very weird because I own Throng
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 5: in audible form, I own Throng Alliances and physical book form.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to go buy Throng and go find
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 2: uh Treason. I don't know where it sits in our currency.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 3: I think Treason we are going to be covering in
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 3: a couple of weeks with a draft.
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, two weeks before. Oh that. By the way, that's
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 2: a little bit of as for you guys, if you
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 2: didn't hear what Katie just said.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 3: I came up with an original podcast idea, which isn't
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 3: really original because it's been done before, but I still it's.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 2: Original for us, for original for us, It's gonna be fun.
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 2: I hope everybody really enjoys it. We're planning a lot
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 2: on it. But yeah, so it looks like when the
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 2: episode drops, it'll be on April seventeenth, so two weeks
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 2: before the premiere of and Or, we will be talking
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 2: about Treason. So currently I have basically a week to
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 2: get a hold of the book and actually start reading it,
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 2: because we.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 3: Are doing a lot of reading in April.
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we are. Now, I will say, let's see here
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 2: looking at the timeline of when I actually grabbed this book.
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 2: By the way, I got this book March sixteenth. I
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: finished this book in ten days. That might be might
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 2: record the quickest I have finished. Well, no, hold on,
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't say that's the quickest. That's close to the quickest,
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 2: because I think some of the other audio books that
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 2: I've read, for like The Forest Unleashed and everything else,
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 2: like I did like three days, but it was more listening.
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 2: This is actually like sitting down and reading it. And
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 2: then also that was that was the thing I did this.
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 2: I used two different forms to read this. I read
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 2: like the first half physically, and then the middle of
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 2: the book I used an audio a book, and then
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 2: I read like five chapters physically, and then I read
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 2: the rest in audio form. Like I it was very
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 2: weird how I decided to read this book. That's impressive,
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: but it worked and I actually enjoyed it. So we'll
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 2: see how Treason goes. I will probably pick it up
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 2: this weekend Payday and hopefully Abby doesn't get mad at me,
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 2: probably getting one or two other books. So yeah. So
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 2: with that, guys, I want to thank all of you
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 2: guys for being here, joining us live as y'all do,
• 1:24:41

• 1:25:29
  Speaker 2: gua Jake and I recently dropped another episode. We are
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 2: back on a normal schedule. Japan takes some days off
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 2: with yearly shows like this. This show is fifty plus weeks,
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 2: sometimes forty plus weeks because of the time amount of
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 2: times they take off, but it's year round, so they
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 2: do take a week off from time to time. We

• 1:26:43

• 1:26:52

• 1:26:57

• 1:27:01
  Speaker 3: that is out next Tuesday, So Clay and I will
• 1:27:05

• 1:27:10
  Speaker 3: out next week. But yeah, Star Wars celeration predictions are
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 3: next week, and that we don't have a review scheduled
• 1:27:22
