The Acolyte: The Power of Two: Episode CLXXXVIII · Star Wars Alliance

0:00
The Force will be with you always. Hello everyone, Welcome back to the
0:21
episode of Star Wars. That's your home on the Geek Ultimate Lines podcast network
0:26
for any and all. Thanks star Wars. I'm your host as always Katie
0:31
and with me as perfuse it's Clay. Clay. How are you doing today?
0:35
I am doing exceptionally well. I uh for for a day that was
0:41
supposed to be absolute crap. I have nothing to do at work today,
0:47
and they were gonna make us uh transfer old disgusting carpet tiles. Uh oh
0:54
it was. It was going to be gross. But then we actually got
0:59
a call and they were like, hey, we need this stuff transferred here.
1:03
And so I got to spend almost all day in the car, in
1:08
the company truck and just you know, sidestepped that disgusting carpet that we've been
1:15
avoiding for the past like four months, Like they wanted to get done,
1:19
but we keep avoiding it. But yeah, that was good. If everybody
1:26
doesn't know the topic of today, of course you must have because you clicked
1:30
on this podcast, but been listening to the Power of two literally all day.
1:38
Like I told you, I wanted to get ingrained into my brain so
1:42
that way when we actually have this conversation, I know what I'm talking about.
1:48
So did that? And well the only negative thing Amberln is in in
1:55
a little bit of a mood. Like everything everything is pissing her off.
2:01
Me dancing pissed her off, me playing pickapoo pissed her off, her favorite
2:07
TV shows, pissing her off, food pissing her off. Like there is
2:10
literally nothing we have been able to do to like make her happy. And
2:15
so I'm just like, you know what, I'm out for the night,
2:17
Abby, good luck, love you. I will treat you to like some
2:23
ice cream or something for dealing with her, but I gotta go. H
2:27
I ran in here, so yeah. Other other than that, it's been
2:30
a pretty good day. What about yourself, it's been good. Today is
2:34
my last day of maternity leave, so I'm in my fields a little bit.
2:39
I gotta go back to work tomorrow, So it's not gonna be It's
2:43
gonna be interesting to see because I got two days and then construction starts back
2:47
on my house next week to fix the damages. So I'm going back to
2:53
my mom's for all next week. It's not gonna be by myself with the
2:58
baby. Help me obi wan, you're my only hope. I so I
3:06
will say I was only allowed a week and a half of maternity when uh,
3:16
when Amberlyn was born, and that first day back, I did everything
3:23
I could to get off early. It just like it felt like I feel
3:28
bad for like leaving Abby home alone. But uh, it's been good because
3:32
Matt and I both work from home. So yeah, I think which is
3:36
a great thing because you'll actually be able to spend time with her every day.
3:40
Yeah, for you know, swapping off and everything else. I think
3:44
that's very very cool. So we'll see what happens, but y'all pray for
3:49
me. I will be an anxious wreck, I promise. All right,
3:54
Okay, so Clay tell us what news we have to talk about. Yes,
4:00
So we actually have quite a bit of news which has been well granted,
4:06
I will say this, It has been somewhat normal for the fact that
4:11
we've been, of course reviewing the Acolyte for about what two months? Three
4:16
months? Yeah, so that's why there wasn't a whole lot of news recently.
4:23
And I apologize. If you can hear in Berlin right now, she's
4:25
screaming her head off and knocking on the door. So starting off the news,
4:32
I think the biggest thing is, well, you know what I want
4:39
to This isn't on the list technically, but I want to talk about the
4:46
elephant in the room because it does coincide with our main topic, the hashtag
4:54
renew the Acolyte is. I want to talk about this because you brought up
5:00
a really good point and I technically when it comes to our Marvel our Star
5:05
Wars alliance excuse me chat, this actually did come up first because you and
5:13
Snail started to talk about it, and I don't think I really joined in.
5:16
I was kind of just reading because I was working. But there is
5:21
a lot of worry about the Acolyte. And when I say worry and I
5:29
say a lot, I see it sporadically, and it's the reason behind It's
5:33
the reasoning is there hasn't been a huge announcement of the Acolyte is getting a
5:41
season two right, and we talked about how a lot of other things,
5:49
not just Star Wars, but a lot of other things usually get that season
5:55
two announcement like a week after something to really hype up the and everything else.
6:00
But you made a good point and saying look at a Soca Ahsoka didn't
6:06
get one immediately after, and so there's a lot of people like panicking.
6:15
They're like, if you don't renew Accolae, La la la and see.
6:19
But this is the audience that Leslie is specifically tackling with the Accolade. She
6:26
has stated, I wanted to hit the young women of the fandom as the
6:30
main audience for this show because they are always left the second place and you
6:34
are in the midst right now of the romanticy fans. And that's exactly who
6:42
the accolyte applies to, is the romanticy fans. The ooh, she's gonna
6:46
date the bad boy, ooh they're gonna fall love, Like this is who
6:51
you're talking to. And this is the latch on, grab and take hold
6:56
of remember like all the fan fictions and stuff. So the audience it makes
7:00
sense for like, this is not like the boys of Star Wars like doing
7:10
this. This is people who are very used to, hey, when is
7:15
the next book coming out? Like I need to know when the next book's
7:18
coming out asap. So it's an impatient fandom, is basically what I'm trying
7:26
to say. Yeah, so if they didn't expect this, I don't know
7:31
what they did expect, because that's just what it is. And I I'm
7:43
okay with waiting. I was talking to a coworker of mine's day and I
7:47
was like, well, Deadfool comes out tonight, and that's basically all I
7:57
have to really worry about until I don't win. And it gives us time
8:03
to bree. It gives you time to put on the tinfoil hats for you
8:11
know, all of these other things that you want in the Star Wars fandom,
8:13
in the accolyte, in the books and all this stuff. It gets
8:16
the discussion going. It gets and I genuinely think this is what they want.
8:22
They want to see how many people really want that season too. They
8:28
want to see the calls for it. They want to Leslie wants to show
8:33
Lucasfilm, Disney and Star Wars. Hey, look like we're we're kind of
8:39
holding on and look what's happening. This is a good thing in some capacity.
8:45
Again, it could just splatter all over my face at the end of
8:48
the day and boom, we don't have a season two, which would suck.
8:52
But this is a good marketing strategy in some capacity or another. And
9:00
you said, hey, there's other things coming along within the year where it
9:05
would be a good idea to be like, hey, we're gonna go ahead
9:09
and announce it now, and that goes for books and everything else within Star
9:15
Wars. So it's not just the Acolyte that we're worried about, but it
9:18
was something that I wanted to bring up with the new the Acolyte hashtag because
9:22
it was something that was like, from from the day the finale released to
9:28
right now, you could look up the hashtag and it's just you would be
9:35
freaking scrolling for days. It's just it's crazy and I and I think it's
9:39
a very good thing. Speaking of things that could be announced at upcoming things
9:46
like Sindhio Kama Kat or D twenty three. Yeah your Roar got we talked
9:54
about for your Ror last week. But there's also actually another titled adult Star
10:01
Wars novel that has a release date of May six for Random House Worlds.
10:07
So I I told you, I put the gift out there. It was
10:13
the Steve Carell office, uh for me once, uh for me twice strike
10:24
three. You know, I I I still can't believe, like I I
10:28
this, I told you this is the flash of Star Wars novels. I
10:33
need to see it, advertised, cover art, everything, to show me
10:39
that this is a real thing. Now, I bet you're gonna find out
10:43
tomorrow. We're gonna find out tomorrow. The publish tomorrow. Yeah, I'm
10:46
sure we're gonna see something tomorrow, which like it's crazy. It's like,
10:52
holy crap, Sanio Comic Con is already here. Like that, I was
10:56
like, holy crap, that went by so fast. I'm really excited to
11:01
get more book news. I have fallen so far behind on my good Reads
11:09
challenge this year, and I think I may have like gotten a little too
11:18
big brain for what Clay can really handle. And I'm gonna blame you,
11:24
Katie, because you got me into reading and I was like, you know
11:26
what, I can do this. I can do this. And then I
11:28
look at Goodreads and they're like, you're twenty books behind. I'm like,
11:33
hey, how many times do you think I can add the footbook by Doctor
11:37
Seuss See, And that's what I want to know. I want to know
11:41
how many times can you add a book? Because I think you could only
11:46
add a book once. But like technically, technically every New Star Wars book
11:54
I listen or I read and then listen to that's reading. I read every
11:58
Star Wars book that we get twice, if not three times, and then,
12:03
of course, because we are so graciously given the opportunity to of course
12:09
get the advanced copies of both the book itself and the audio version, I
12:18
listen to it like freaking six times because it's the first thing that starts in
12:24
my car with the bluetooth, and so it's like it's just over and over
12:26
and over again. Like Mark Thompson, I have your voice memorized. It's
12:35
in my brain every day. But yeah, I if Goodreads could allow you
12:41
to add the same book multiple times, I would be caught up. I
12:46
would be caught up on my good Reads challenge. But nonetheless, more publishing
12:54
news, the really big one being in comics. They have announced some other
13:01
things. We finally get the answer of what comes after Star Wars fifty and
13:07
Darth Vader fifty. This we called this, by the way, yes we
13:15
called this. We said that it was it was a long shot because we
13:22
were starting to lean more towards Hey, they're really diving deep into like the
13:26
prequel era, so maybe we can get some in between stuff here and there.
13:30
But our first guess was like Hey, let's take the risk. Let's
13:33
do this, and that is the fact that we are going post Return of
13:41
the Jedi on Star Wars the main line comic Katie, how do you feel
13:48
about this? I'm super excited about this, especially because so the main title
13:54
is done by Alex Sagora, who wrote the Poe Damn Roon novel which I
14:01
loved. It was a great book. So, uh, super excited about
14:05
that. But the title for this mainline is the Battle of Jackou, which
14:16
is that gives us our era because and we talked about this in the main
14:22
chat, but this era basically takes us to about a year, so we're
14:26
covering another year of Star Wars after Return of the deadI so we'll go return
14:30
to the Jadi to Battle of jack Wu about a year year and a half,
14:35
So that gives you kind of where we're at. But this first it's
14:39
called a Maxie series. Yes, because you posted something about this. Uh
14:46
you posted about this later after this announcement that somebody else mentioned that there's gonna
14:54
be multiple Maxie series instead of on titles. That is, so that is
15:05
what Star Wars splash Pod said that Marvel said there will be three limited series
15:15
surrounding the never before told moments of the Galactic Civil War. Okay, Jacob
15:24
Bush posted the Amazon description for the trade paperback which is supposed to be out
15:31
April eighth of twenty twenty five, and it actually has the three titles for
15:37
the maxi series. So we have Battle of jack Wu, Insurgency Rising,
15:43
Battle of Jackou Republic under Siege, and Battle of jack Wu Last Stand.
15:50
So all three series are four issues, and all three say that they are
15:58
going to be published in twenty twenty four, which is interesting because typically Marvel
16:04
series run month to month, but this one, and this is again from
16:11
Star Wars splash page pod we have it out. Oh, that doesn't say
16:17
when it's out. The first the four issues for Insurgency Rising are out October
16:22
second, October sixteenth, October thirtieth, and November sixth. So I'm interested
16:32
to see how this is gonna go. Because this is a new release schedule
16:36
for Marvel Comics. I would assume they've already had this going because they have
16:41
no coordination that's needed for this comic because right now the only thing that they
16:48
have is Princess and the Scoundrel and then Aftermath, and like after Math and
16:55
alphabet squadron trilogies, so all of those are kind of what you have to
16:59
coordinate. And has it been out for years? Yeah, so you have
17:03
already had the basis for this, So hopefully we won't see any delays.
17:07
But it'll be interesting because you've got all of October and then I assume the
17:11
second one's gonna be November and the third one's going to be December. So
17:17
yeah, very very exciting things moving forward in Marvel comics right when I am
17:25
like not huge on reading comics right now, which really sucks. Hopefully this
17:30
does give like a little revival in me. Uh in of course reading now,
17:34
I will say this, I will tease some stuff for Star Wars Alliance.
17:37
We are planning some things, so uh be on the look up for
17:41
that as well. But looking at everything that is basically it. I don't
17:48
know if you want to share the one that you I believe it was this
17:52
morning or yesterday that you shared because of the song, Well I do not,
17:56
we don't. We don't talk about that guy here, all right.
18:00
Yeah, with that may put us behind on news, but I gotta have
18:03
I gotta have some morals. Yeah, I was gonna say you gotta draw
18:06
the line somewhere and that's totally fine. But after that, I think that
18:12
is it for the news. All right, y'all, we're gonna hit our
18:18
first ad break and we will be right back in three two one. Oh,
18:22
I lost my I lost my page that had the lyrics. We are
18:26
going to transfer to the main topic, which is Victoria Moonaise the power of
18:34
two songs from Star Wars The Acolytes. So this was the end credit song
18:41
for episode seven and episode eight, and I've seen a couple different breakdowns on
18:48
this, like I've got I googled the power of two lyrics Star Wars and
18:52
Accolade Twin Flames song explained pops up on the Mary Sue web page, so
18:59
if you're interested in that, you can go read that. But I just
19:00
never read that because I wanted to try and do this. This is something
19:03
brand new that I've never tried to do before. But I had a couple
19:07
of ideas when listening to the song, especially after some episodes had come out,
19:12
so I was like, this could be fun to talk about. So
19:18
also the other thing that I wanted to share was we posted on the twitters
19:27
looking for feedback on hashtag renew that Acolyte, and we did actually get one
19:34
response from Elsie Webb's XO they or. She said, I just really think
19:41
the show stuck the landing, created an incredibly compelling villain and budding evil power
19:47
couple, and definitely earned a season two, especially for the new market share
19:52
it's bringing in. Remember we talked about the romanticy squad, that's exactly what
19:56
she's talking about. And she said, I've brought so many fans and the
20:00
fold with this, and honestly, I brought in my cousin because my cousin
20:04
got me into reading Akatar after Fourth Wing, and I was like, I
20:10
think you should watch the Accolade because like it doesn't require any background knowledge first
20:15
of all, and then two it's got the evil power couple. And she
20:22
was like, Oh, that totally stops like something I could be interested in.
20:26
So she's watched the first couple episodes, but she's a teacher, so
20:30
she's like starting back, so she'll get through it eventually, but she's watching
20:33
it. So it's like, so thank you Elsie for sharing your thoughts.
20:40
Really appreciate it. So awes the power of two. So the first question
20:48
I had for you. I think there's a perspective from one of the twins
20:56
in this I I was scratched my brain all day because you say one of
21:08
the twins. And I believe that is so because just the way the lyrics
21:18
read, specifically, uh, there is a lyric in the uh pre chorus
21:30
and the chorus uh. So the pre chorus it says, we so won
21:40
the same, so all my pain is your pain. I was like,
21:42
Okay, it says you thought your soul was a necklace. Okay, so
21:48
clearly talking to somebody. And then the chorus it says, I feel the
21:52
shame when they call me your name, and you feel the same when they
21:57
say you are to blame. So I'm like, okay, let's take a
22:02
step back. Who is this song? Who is the narrator in this song?
22:15
I because of the way the show resolves, the season one resolves,
22:27
I will be honest, it was hard to make a final decision on who
22:33
this perspective is because there is so many ways it could be May, in
22:38
so many ways that it could be Osha. Because really, because I think
22:45
it's only May. You think it's only May. Yeah, See, I
22:51
think that it's May. For the fact that this does scream like all of
23:00
the like, it screams this, It screams the same for both in this
23:07
in the sense of like resentment of anger for the think the event that transpired
23:12
on their own planet. And I think the only thing that made me think
23:21
lean a little bit more unmade was the lyric where was it again? Uh?
23:29
I feel the shame when they call me your name because who mistakes her
23:34
for Osha? She feels shame in that case because Soul kills her mom because
23:42
he thought she was Osha. She is thinking, Oh, if he had
23:48
known that I was May, he wouldn't have been worried about my safety and
23:53
my mom would still be alive. And that's exactly what's happening there. And
23:57
the kid you feel the same when they say you're to blame. That's her
24:03
talking about Osha getting blamed friend Dara's death. So that's like the main lyric
24:10
that's like, Hey, this is why I think it's May. But actually,
24:15
when you look at it, the whole pre chorus like actually makes me
24:19
think more that it's May. So it's while I was tethered to you,
24:25
you cut it straight to the truth that was talking about when they were cut
24:27
apart when Osha. Specifically for me, I think when Osha like decides to
24:37
tell her truth, and maybe I'm taking this too literally, but like Osha
24:41
decides to tell her truth to Soul and they're like, oh, like she
24:45
thinks, oh, they're gonna take me away and I can become a Jedi.
24:48
And so in that case, May is like trying to like iterate her
24:55
pain to Osha, and she the you thought your soul's a necklace that you
25:00
could wear and take off, that you could rip and break off, that
25:02
you could trade in the dark. That's her talking about her Osha trying to
25:07
let go of her past, like her heritage. I was gonna say,
25:11
it makes more sense of like questioning the uh the oh shoot, I lost
25:22
the word coven, questioning the coven and not really wanting to become a witch
25:30
and like all of these different things right, So because that one I was
25:34
taking it too seriously. When I first listened to the song, I was
25:37
like, Okay, you saw you thought your soul was a necklace that you
25:41
could wear and take off, rip and break off, that you could trade
25:47
in the dark. I was like, what does that mean? And it's
25:52
it's saying like Hey, like you were brought up in this family, in
26:00
this coven, and you just wanted to throw us away. You wanted to
26:07
just leave and not come back to us. But your mind is the last
26:15
line of the pre chorus. This speaks volumes to the incident with May and
26:22
the fire, with shutting her into the room, starting the fire, and
26:26
everything else. So I the at the end of the chorus says, here,
26:37
I feel the shame when they call me your name? Why work with
26:41
myself? If it's a losing game? This was a very interesting one.
26:49
And again because I was looking at it both ways. Okay, how is
26:53
it a losing game for May? How is it a losing game for Oosha?
27:00
For me? I think? And this is where I go back to
27:06
Leslie staying, well, this is a story about Star Wars villains. They're
27:10
not meant to win in the end of this, so that's kind of the
27:14
thing that I kept in mind with this lyric. But like, to me,
27:18
that's like kind of iterating like, hey, we can't win unless we're
27:26
together. But unfortunately they're always going to be a part because they get together
27:32
at the end, and then Osha kind of realizes, Hey, like we're
27:37
always going to be tracked like I need I need training, I need to
27:41
work on myself, and that's when she's like, okay, May, I
27:45
can go. But like it's them splitting up again together. They're more powerful
27:49
because they're one of the same, but like they have to be broken apart.
27:56
So that's kind of what this lyric meant to me. Well, the
28:03
outro of this chorus says, I'm at war with myself. It's a losing
28:12
game. And this for her was always a losing battle because Osha again wanted
28:26
to run away, wanted to leave them and everything else. But also when
28:33
you look at the grand scheme of the show, who literally loses it all
28:41
May like she knows nothing now. She is burdened with now, like having
28:51
this lost memory and everything and this. I'm so interested in this, I
29:00
you know, I said on Twitter after we posted that we were going to
29:06
be talking about the song that and I was thinking about this today while listening
29:11
to the song as well. Modernized music in Star Wars is so interesting to
29:19
me because yes, I get it, people, I understand there is an
29:26
aesthetic to Star Wars and you wanted to stay the same and all of this
29:30
other stuff. But our first taste of this was the fact that in Star
29:38
Wars Visions there was a whole story about how a Jedi ran from Order sixty
29:45
six and started a freaking band yep. And I think that was cool,
29:52
Like that was fun, and so we got a little taste of that,
29:56
very small taste, but still it's there, not in the main universe Star
30:00
Wars, but it's the franchise overall. And here we get to talk about
30:06
this, We get to go in depth, not just with the song,
30:08
but what it means to the show, because we know that Victoria Monet specifically
30:15
spoke with a composer of the show, and I'm willing to bet spoke through
30:25
these lyrics with Leslie to be like, hey, like what are we trying
30:30
to convey in this song and everything else? So what people need to understand
30:37
is music, whether it be instrumental, lyrical, whatever, like it is
30:44
literally the one constant throughout history that connects people. Yep. This is important,
30:55
whether it be you know, everybody obsessed sover instrumental sound tracks. Every
31:00
single time a new movie comes out, like the new stuff is what people
31:03
should be freaking out about, is what like stuff like this? It's like,
31:07
oh, we get to open up this whole new thing to something that
31:11
has never done this before. So I like this more so because we were
31:17
talking about, Okay, what does this mean for this for the show itself,
31:22
but like through this message that may is singing or sag like we we
31:32
we know how the show wins. What is Victoria Monette and Leslie and the
31:37
composer gonna cook up next season? Like that's what I'm like, I'm stoked
31:41
for that. I told Abby, I was like, I get to be
31:45
you for the day. I'm gonna listen to music and I'm gonna talk about
31:51
it. Of course, she has a podcast about Taylor Swift and everything,
31:52
so I just want to jump around with that. But I I really dig
31:56
this. I really really do the the Twin Flame. And also I want
32:06
to say, Uh, if people don't know where you can immediately listen to
32:12
this. Disney Music Vivo has the actual quote unquote music video for this.
32:20
Uh That's how I was listening to it all day. I have not purchased
32:25
the single yet. I don't know if you actually can or not. Yes,
32:30
it is on any music platformance on Apple Music. My mom has Apple
32:36
Music and I'm on her Apple family Plan, So that's what I So it
32:42
is available pretty much anywhere. So, so you were going into the twin
32:47
flame portion, what did you think about the twin flame? Because that,
32:52
that and the thick skinned, big scars was like the only thing I was
32:59
like. It was a little bit of a brain scratcher, right, Okay,
33:02
So twin flame. I don't know anything about the terminology exactly, but
33:14
when I hear flame, what I start getting like philosophical and things like that.
33:20
What does a flame represent? Well, a flame represents chaos and anger
33:27
of like, okay, anger, that is something very much, you know,
33:30
interwoven within this show. The twin flame could mean like May is just
33:39
as angry as Osha is. You know, they are both twin flames.
33:45
That's what my brain went to. Now. The one that I couldn't quite
33:52
get was the thick skin, which is I can't remember where that was the
34:00
very beginning, Yeah, the very first verse. Uh, it says parts
34:06
of me will die with you, and I think it's gonna be the good
34:07
parts. Uh. That's something I haven't talked about yet. It says I
34:13
don't want to feel at all fixed skin, big scars. I think this
34:20
is cutting her off like, this is me saying, like I do have
34:27
thick skin. These scars are gonna be even bigger from what just happened at
34:31
our home planet. And she is becoming that cold person that she's gonna need
34:37
to be to go on her mission to kill these Jedi. Yeah, I
34:42
think that's what that means. Yeah, I that would be my best guess.
34:49
I think also that could elude with Osha too. This is probably the
34:55
only verse that I really think could apply from like an Osha perspective, because
35:02
like she lost her sister, and clearly like she feels like none of the
35:09
good things that she was hoping for joining the Jedi Order in particular could happen
35:15
because all that died with May in the fire. So that, yeah,
35:23
that was me. So that very first part of the first verse, though,
35:29
that's something that we completely skipped over. Parts of me will die with
35:32
you, and I think it's going to be the good part. Yeah,
35:35
that's where That's the only thing I can think of, interpretation wise, is
35:40
from OSHA's perspective, because she couldn't get into the Jedi Order because ultimately she
35:45
harbored too much grief. So all the good things died when May died in
35:54
a sense, Yeah, do you have an idea for May? I'm not
36:00
entirely sure. Could this be a foreshadowing? That is what I've also thought
36:10
because it says parts of me will die with you, So it's like who's
36:17
dying. That's also the question. Because I'm gonna go ahead and move the
36:23
banner to the future breakdown, let's feel like we talked about season one author,
36:30
We're gonna go into our second ad break and we'll be right back.
36:36
But I feel like if they were the same person, wouldn't that mean that
36:39
like maybe May a soul with line back up into ocean? Well, that's
36:46
remember that was one of the questions that we talked about in the finale.
36:52
I know for a fact that I did talk about it with Georgie and with
36:58
Adrian. This idea that if they are one and the same, what happens
37:02
if one of them dies? My theory of course, makes things a little
37:07
complicated when I was like, oh, they are both Aniseyah and her life
37:15
essence went into them, but she's dead, but nothing happened to them.
37:21
So does death really do anything to one or the other, you know,
37:27
other than killing them? So this is gonna be a very interesting question because
37:35
of course these two are assumingly not immortal, because of course they have never
37:43
been in any future Star Wars content. They will eventually die, And I
37:47
still think that's a very interesting story to tell, because we ultimately look at
37:55
Osha, her path into the dark Side, her evitable meeting of Plagis,
38:02
and how that all snowballs into Palpatine wanting to become immortalized himself. Right,
38:12
Yeah, And I genuinely think that ends very poorly for Osha. Yes,
38:20
it's got to, it has to. But I also have not really thought
38:25
of that of the perspective of May. May seemingly is quote unquote okay.
38:35
Now, does that mean she's gonna be okay for the rest of the time.
38:39
No, because she is now being sent on this mission with Bernestra,
38:45
which is ultimately going to put her in harm's way, And so you really
38:52
don't know who is going to die and by whose hand is Osha gonna kill
38:59
May. I know we talked about because remember I had said, oh,
39:07
for a second, I thought that uh uh oh, shoot, I forgot
39:13
his name, uh uh chime here was suggesting that Osha kill May with the
39:20
handing of the Lightsaber that ultimately didn't happen, but we have seen multiple times,
39:27
whether that be in legends, whether that be in video games, whether
39:30
that be in comics and everything else, like attachments. You know, they
39:36
strengthen you and they don't strengthen you, and what does that mean? People
39:39
find you weak because of love and like all of these different things, And
39:43
like I could see a very dark path where Osha could cross the line,
39:52
But at the same time I could see maybe Plagis sees May as an obstacle,
40:00
right, or the Jedi in general. It's like, okay, well,
40:05
if she's helping the Jedi, just get rid of me and boom,
40:09
there's no way that they can help her, or she can't help the Jedi
40:14
any further. You know, Yeah, it's it both. It looks like
40:20
for both roads, whether that be May or Osha, it doesn't end well,
40:24
it won't. The only question is how does how will their death affect
40:35
other things in Star Wars? Particularly does their death You talked okay, hang
40:44
on, hang on, you talked about this. I remember this. I
40:45
don't remember which episode it was in, but you talked about our May and
40:52
Vernestra, the Verrgrance or did Matt talk about that? Did you talk about
40:55
that? No, so we question what the virgins was? Yeah, then
41:04
so the thought, the thought came up, uh, and you would say
41:08
it was from Matt, and so we talked about it a little bit.
41:12
We weren't entirely sure what that exactly means if they were, so go ahead
41:16
and continue. So what if because May and Osha assumedly were created with the
41:25
virgins, what if the power of two being killed gives Plagis or Palpatine the
41:37
power to create an Again, It's something that I've thought about, like it's
41:45
it's a weird, like it's I want to make a comparison, but I
41:53
don't know how to compare it to anything else. But just like you said,
41:58
it's essentially the essence that being the vergens that is May or Osha,
42:06
or the collective of both their force, essence when they die, whatever it
42:15
may be. Whatever. We are literally making this up as we go because
42:19
we aren't the ones writing this story. But basically, think of it this
42:24
way, Uh, Anakin is a whole crux for May and OSHA's soul,
42:32
like like his soul is their soul. Like I don't know how many how
42:37
many people would absolutely love that. Though as soon as I started saying it,
42:44
Anakin was never the the special one. It was always May and Ocean.
42:52
So technically, no, nope, I don't like it. Nope nope.
42:58
Now again, this is all always power, This is always power.
43:02
This is always gonna be part of the Skywalker saga. But now it's literally
43:07
a part of the Skywalker saga. Because what you're saying is that Osha in
43:10
May are Skywalkers. I'm not saying that. What I'm saying is the power
43:15
that was used to create them. What if in their death Plagus is able
43:21
to harness that power, not their soul, but the power, the force
43:27
essence that's being released and manipulate that to create I mean, it's the same
43:36
thing. But yeah, no, I I get it. Yeah, I
43:40
would love the troll see. And that's and that's the thing, because the
43:46
road that I went down is the road. And you know, I was
43:52
partly joking, but people will take it that seriously though. They'll be like,
43:57
oh, Anakin is Osha. Anakin is like, that's what you're saying,
44:01
and so now you just ruined Anakin and the Skywalkers and blah blah,
44:06
blah blah blah. I think it's cool. I think that the weirder and
44:15
that's just been me. I talked about this when we went over our favorite
44:19
episodes of Rebels, right, Yeah, the weirdest fantasy parts of Star Wars
44:24
are my favorite parts. The Bindu he's my favorite. He is almost my
44:31
favorite character of Star Wars because he is so out there. You look at
44:36
all of Star Wars and then all of a sudden you have this giant,
44:39
freaking fantasy creature that looks like something from the Never Ending Story and it's like,
44:46
yeah, he's there. That's awesome. Like, and I said,
44:51
we need more of that. We're getting that in a different form here in
44:55
the Acolyte. So I think it's cool. Yeah, for sure. I
45:01
think that's really all I had. Yeah, I think that we broke this
45:07
down very very well, jumped a little, you know, all over the
45:10
place when it comes to the song, not necessarily in order, but I
45:15
thought this was a very fun thing, and I hope that we get to
45:22
do it more, whether that be with music, whether that be with scenes
45:29
from movies or whatever, or small little pieces of Star Wars related pop culture
45:35
and things like that. I think it would be really really fun. But
45:37
yeah, that is going to be it for the show. A little bit
45:40
shorter than what it has been recently, but that is sometimes a good thing.
45:46
But guys, you can always find me at Fanboy, play, on
