  Speaker 4: I have been a little bit of an emotional wreck.
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: I'm not even going to lie. We started a little
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: bit earlier than we usually do.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Because I heard Baby Mara in the background. And that's
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: what I mean by emotional wreck.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: So yesterday....
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Um, you know, I've been donating plasma for a while. Um,
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: and the, yesterday I told Amberlynn, I was like, Hey,
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: mommy is in a meeting. I need to donate plasma.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: You're going to sit in the kitchen. You're going to
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: eat your snack.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: Grandma is in the other room if you need her. Okay.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: And I'm going to go donate.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: And as I was leading, she was like, Daddy, thank
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: you so much for always taking care of me.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: And I was like, you're welcome. And then today.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I had to go into the office yesterday and I
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: did not make it home in time for bedtime. I
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: hate Charlotte fashion, but I got to have dinner with
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: my mother-in-law. But Matt sent me a video from our
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: security cameras and she was sobbing that I was not home.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: Uh Kinsey hello hello hello.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: And then uh today um uh Abby is uh for
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: the first time doing like a social thing uh so

  Speaker 3: course I'm recording this we're like oh crap what are
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: we gonna do with Amberlynn so she's actually going to
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: go see uh my sister practice volleyball with my grandmother
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: oh that's And this is the first time that we
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: have voluntarily put her onto somebody else. And right before
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: we started recording, she came up to me and she
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: gave me.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: A hug and kiss. And she was like, bye-bye, Daddy.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: I will see you later. And I'm like, I don't
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: know what to do. If you could be here, I
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: promise you would be.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I've been a little bit of an emotional
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: wreck today. It's good for you guys. But it is good. Because,
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: oh my gosh, she's been attached to our hip for
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: four years. But yeah, it's been a pretty good week, guys. Unfortunately,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: there has not been any gigantic news.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: There is some stuff that I would like to talk
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: about via the Zero Company game, but I don't know
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: how far you guys are. I just realized that there
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: is anywhere between 30 to 40 cycles in that game.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: I'm on cycle 20, learning that I'm only halfway there.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: there's so much anxiety because it's like, oh my God,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: like I have.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: To sit down and play for another.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: 30 to 40 hours to finish this game.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Because that is on cycle 15. I watched him
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: play for a little bit with that one. He still
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: has not lost anybody.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: Okay. Neither have I.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: I have been spoiled on some things and.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: There is, there is a pretty big cameo that I
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: would really like to talk about with you when it
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: comes to like.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: Is it the Anakin Skywalker one?
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: No, no.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: There is another... Because that was publicized. Yes, that was publicized.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Because that was the big thing to get people to pre-order.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: It's like, hey, by the way, Anakin Skywalker is a
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: part of this game.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: No, um... And it's funny that I even say that.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: You can talk about it, by the way. I don't.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: So the cameo, and I guess it hits you a
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: little less.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: Because you still haven't played the Fallen Order games. Second
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: Sister is just in this game. Interesting.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Interesting.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: I don't know if Matt can hear or if he's
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: going to listen to this. Tell him not to listen
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: to this portion. You know? He doesn't listen.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: He doesn't listen.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: Even if he could hear you right now and he
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: hears you saying that, just, like, so he's like, I
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: do listen. Tell him not to listen to this episode.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Because when I saw the spoiler, my jaw dropped.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: Comparatively... I'm.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Assuming she's a Jedi Padawan in it. Or, like, a Jedi. Well.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: that's the thing because no, like she has the inquisitor
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: gear on and everything.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: Oh, interesting.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: So it's so like, that tells me that this game
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: goes a little bit past order 66.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: So that's what to me was like, Oh shit. Um,
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: and I'm like, I'm like, okay. As soon as I
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: saw her, I swiped away from the video because I
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: was like, I need to know that context before I
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: watch this video.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: But I'm still excited to get to that point.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: But, you know, besides that, guys, there's nothing really else
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: besides two topics that we're going to be talking about today.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: One of them is a very simple Force Awakens is
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: no longer the highest grossing movie of all time at
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: the domestic box office. As of today, Spider-Man, brand new day,
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: has surpassed that. It says here that Force Awakens had
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: spent more than a decade as the biggest movie ever
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: in North America with $ 936 million at the box office domestically.
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: So, Today, it says here that.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: They're passing off the crown to Tom Holland's latest Spidey adventure,
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: which has surpassed that benchmark.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: With $ 936, 773, 000.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: After only 47 days in theaters. Good for Spider-Man. Which
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: is absolutely insane. Now, I have seen a little bit of.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Eye-rolling remarks of like, oh, is it just because inflation
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: and like all of these other things?
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: And don't get me wrong.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Would I have loved to see Star Wars Force Awakens
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: hold that for a little bit longer?
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, sure. But you never know. Like any movie could
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: hit that, you know? So... And I think that.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Goes to show that movies need to come out with
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: plenty of heart and that IPs can still do well
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: at the box office, but they need to be made
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: with intent. And Tom Holland and Marvel and Sony did
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: not go, okay, we're going to just go straight from
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: No Way Home into a new Spider-Man movie two years later.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Like they said, okay, let's take our time with this
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: and really develop the right movie. And they really did. So...
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Studios need to learn from that experience. And go we
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: don't need to rush production. It's okay to put out
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: less product. To get the right thing.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: Let's see how long. Spidey can hold it. With this new.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Star Wars trilogy. Right around the corner. It will be interesting.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I have to see how Starfighter is going to do first.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: I think that's going to be the big thing. Because
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: we talked about. The fact that like okay. We have
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: Mando's box office. Is it something to be expected that
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: it didn't go crazy?
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: Yes, it was.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: Because we knew, hey, this is a TV IP. This
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: is just like a warm welcome to theaters. It wasn't
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: like their grand reopening to theaters whatsoever. We know that
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: that is Starfighter. Starfighter is that grand like, hey, we
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: are back. And I think from what we have talked about,
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: we both think that it will do very well. The
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: cast is, you know, grade A. Director is great. And
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: people have been really, really gnawing at the bit for
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Star Wars to be back in theater. And I think
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: star fighter will do that. Yeah.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: I think so too.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: But other than that, the only news that we have is,
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: is it really news yet?
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not news yet, and I don't know if
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: it will be. Because if nothing has been said now,
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: I don't think there will be an official announcement. It'll
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: be more of a, hey, look, this other publisher is
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: now doing stuff.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: A.K.A.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Paper Cuts?
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: Mad Cave and Paper Cuts. Yes, I believe Paper Cuts is...
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: owned by mad cave but yes um and that is
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: the fact that people are now starting to realize that
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: dark horse titles specifically the hyperspace stories which we are
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: going to be reviewing today um the hyperspace stories that
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: have been coming out from dark horse um there hasn't
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: been a whole lot of them being solicited and a
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: lot of them are being delayed canceled and things like
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: that with no new release date coming forth and because
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: of that people are now realizing oh wait did Dark
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: Horse lose their license the Star Wars and guys this
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: happens all the time a little inside info on a
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: little bit of my business with volume comics Still chugging along,
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: still doing a lot of stuff on the back end.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: But just recently, I had a huge conversation with one
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: of our with my lawyer about licensing and licensing. It
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: doesn't mean and I'm having this conversation because Dark Horse
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: losing the license to Star Wars does not mean that
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: there was a. huge legal battle or animosity or anything
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: like that.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: It just depends on how much do those two entities
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: want to flourish a relationship.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: It's, it's all about business. It's all about the money
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: that's coming in. Does the license that dark horse is
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: spending on because they have to go to Lucasfilm to say, Hey,
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: we want your license to, For these stories... We will
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: give you so much money for that... Whether that be
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: up front... Or the royalties for it... This is just
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: how things work....
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: And if... Dark Horse starts to see that like... Hey...
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: This is actually eating up more costs... Than we are
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: getting from actual sales of this book.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Or of these stories overall... So we're not going to
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: continue this license.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: It could just be simple as that.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: Now, I will say, as somebody who has previously worked
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: with paper cuts, who has seen the talent that has
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: come out of paper cuts, I am still really, really
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: excited about paper cuts taking handle of the Star Wars IP.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: This doesn't mean that Dark Horse is no.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: Longer in the game for Star Wars, because.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: hey, they held the license for Star Wars before, then
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: they got it back after so many years, almost 20.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: And so who's to say that, hey, Dark Horse won't
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: come back maybe another 10 or 15 years later saying, hey,
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: I think we could do something with Star Wars again
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: if you guys would have us, you know? And that
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: also leaves it kind of open for other publishers to
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: possibly say like, hey, Is there any room for us
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: to do anything? Because currently, as the... I'm looking at
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: the releases every single week for Marvel. There's not a
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: whole lot coming out of Star Wars right now.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: Nothing.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: And right now, they're putting all of their eggs in
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: the paper cuts basket. And it may be a, hey,
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: let's just see how this goes, you know, type of thing. And,
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: you know, they'll probably just push everything over there. We
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: do know that the biggest thing, excuse me, the biggest
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: thing that's coming out of Star Wars and Marvel is
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: ironically the Star Wars and Marvel crossover with Kevin Smith
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: being the writer on that.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: And I believe it was, oh, Mike.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: I don't remember the artist.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: I think it's Chichetto, Mike. Maybe, or is that just
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: the cover artist? I can't remember.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: For that story. So we'll see how everything goes. But yeah,
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: that is really it for our two news topics.
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: And as soon as.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: And the fall of Kylo Ren. That one's a big
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: one too.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: Oh yes, the fall of Kylo Ren, which I.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: I actually read that first issue the other day. I
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: was so bored. I was like, technically, Katie and I
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: are not going to read this for quite some time.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: I'll probably forget what's all in this first issue. But
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: let me read it. And I read it. And it
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: was good. I liked it. So can't wait until the
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: volume one comes out. So we'll talk about it here
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: on the show. But yeah, that is it for us.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: I will say this. This next segment is going to
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: be super short. Katie, what are your thoughts on Lego Mandalorian?
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: I actually had a lot of fun with this. This
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: was actually the first Star Wars thing that Mara has
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: watched with us. We sat down Friday night with our
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: pizza and everything and we're like, let's watch a movie.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: And she was like, she was not convinced. She was like,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: cooking show? Because we typically watch cooking while we eat.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: She was like, cooking. I was like, but Grogu movie.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: And she was like, oh, okay, cool. But then for
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: approximately 50% of the time, it was, where is Grogu?
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Where is Grogu? And then we did get her entertained
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: because she's learned what a robot is.
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: Okay, yeah.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: So with IG 11 and IG 12 and yada, yada, yada,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: we were like, and she was like, cool. I was like, okay.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: It's, it's funny that you talk about like learning new things.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: The new thing on our docket right now is Amberlynn
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: is finally realizing that, um, animals in real life are
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: sometimes the food that we eat. Um, um, so we
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: were talking about, Hey, you know, chickens, you know, the chicken.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: That you eat, you're like your chicken nuggets and like
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: all of this stuff that's chickens.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: And like, she was, she just like a laugh. Like
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: you guys are so silly. That's so silly.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: It can't be chickens. This is just stuff that you eat.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: And then I was like, you know, like hamburgers, you know,
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: your cheeseburger that you like to get all the time.
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: Like that's beef. Do you know where beef comes from?
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: And she looked at me dead in the face and
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: she said, Australia.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: I was like, all right, cool. That's all right.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Whatever helps her eat. I, I, I, I don't have
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: any better answer for you right now. Maybe when you're older,
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: we can have a more deep conversation about this, but
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: for now, hamburgers and beef come from Australia. Uh, So
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: the funny thing about Lego Mandalorian, I watched it on
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: my own really late at night. And it is literally
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: what we predicted it was going to be. It is
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: verbatim a child's version.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: Of this adult show. It starts out like it could
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: have been its own thing.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Like most of the other Lego Star Wars stuff.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: But then it literally turns into, hey, we're going to
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: summarize every season of this show, including Book of Boba Fett.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Which I laughed about.
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: Because it was so quick. A Lego just.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Always knows how to handle it and make fun of itself,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: but also do it well.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like, hey, we take this seriously, and this is
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: still our IP, but we're going to make fun of ourselves.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: And so today, right before we started recording, I was like, hey,
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: I have to watch this for tonight's show.
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: Do you want to watch it with me?
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: And again, my four-year-old going on 30 went, oh, okay.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: And we sat down and watched it two minutes in.
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: Literally. Literally. the moment that mando is.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: Saying hey if we're gonna be intense you have to
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: sound intense and like you see grogu like laugh menace
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: menacingly or whatever they literally walk off the star crest
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: and amberlynn.
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: Goes This is so boring.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, kid, it hasn't even started yet. As
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: soon as they started retelling the actual seasons of Mandalorian,
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: then she started to get into it. But then she's like,
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: I'm hungry. I'm going to go get a snack. And
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: then she walked away. And I was like, all right,
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: I can only get her attention for so long. At
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: least she got this far.
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: But yeah, it is exactly what we thought it was
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: going to be. I think this is a great way
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: to introduce kids to a new character in Star Wars
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: without the intensity of The Mandalorian, the actual show. This
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: is a very G-rated way to get a kid into
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: Star Wars.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: 100%. It's very standard Lego, very kid-friendly, very nonchalant. I mean,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: I'm impressed that they got four seasons of shows decently
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: summarized down in 45 minutes.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah!
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Like, they did very well with it, and still giving
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: it an original story that's kind of falling in line
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: with it.
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: I think.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: If you wanted to jokingly say like, hey, where does
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: this take place in canon? This takes place before Mandalorian
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: and Grogu. Because we've done that with previous Lego things
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: where we're like, where do you think this takes place?
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: It seems like very early in Grogu's training.
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: One of my favorite parts of the retelling of the
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: actual Mandalorian is is the ending of season one when
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: uh ig what's is it oh.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: God it's still 11 or no it's 12 at that point.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah ig12 uh is going down the lava or right
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: before he starts walking down the lava he's like i'm
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: gonna have to self-destruct and mando's like you're right you
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: are Good plan. He's like, are you not going to
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: stop me? Are you seriously just going to allow me
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: to do this?
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: He's like, you're right. This is the only way. You
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: have to blow yourself up.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: Which is so funny because the fact that he doesn't
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: trust droids.
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: And that he trusted him for that part of it.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that is so funny. But yeah, I
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: thought that it was very, very fun. I will say...
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: When it first started, I kind of questioned the quality
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: of the.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: It.
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: Is digitized stop motion.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: It is not stop motion traditionally, but it's digitized.
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: And I kind of questioned it. It kind of looked
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: a little weird at the very beginning. I thought the
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: same thing.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Like they changed up the animation.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but after watching it, it felt more and more traditionally...
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: like Lego style, um, animation. So I think it's still
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: like top notch. I think this is, you know, if,
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: if I am not somebody who regularly has the Lego
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: stuff on repeat, um, because Amberlynn has shown that like, Hey,
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: when a new one comes out, we'll watch it, but
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: I'm going to still go watch. I'm watching my old
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: stuff after that. And so like, if you guys have
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: it on rotation, I think this will be.
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: Just another great addition to that. Honestly.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so too. It's, yeah, there's not really
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: much more we can say. It's super boiled down. There's
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: funny jokes that adults will be able to catch that
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: will fly over kids' heads. Not as much Grogu as
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: I was expecting there to be.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: Just with a.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Toddler who is obsessed with Grogu. So I expected there
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: was going to be more Grogu, but it really was
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: focused on the Mandalorian. Oh, the other thing that I
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: was going to point out is, so most everyone returns
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: as a voice actor for this. Like Rosario Dawson voices Ahsoka,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: which I think somebody had said on Threads that this
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: is the first time that Ashley Eckstein has not voiced
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Ahsoka in animation since she was cast. The Peli Motos
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: actress returns, Tamira Morrison returns, heck, even Timothy Olyphant comes
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: in to play Cobb Vance. So the only ones that
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: don't return is Pedro Pascal.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: The big man himself.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: As the Mandalorian. And because Luke Skywalker does appear in this,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Mark Hamill doesn't actually voice Luke Skywalker. And I think
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: he has voiced Luke Skywalker before in Lego stuff. So
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: that surprised me. But he has also said that he's
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: done playing Luke Skywalker. So maybe he's being legit this time.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: Now, I will say, He has been a man of
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: his word, because I am pretty sure, and I could
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: go back, once.
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: Oh my gosh.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: Kevin Conroy died and was no longer Batman. He said, hey,
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: I am no longer voice in Joker. And his last
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: performance was actually a last.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: Performance with kevin conroy yeah um and so he never
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: came back as the joker um so him saying hey
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: i'm done with luke skywalker.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Maybe i know but he said it before uh he
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: came back so we will see we will.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: See i mean yes but now again he's nearing his
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: late 70s early 80s yeah so I think now more
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: than any time would be like a, Hey, yeah, I'm
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: really done. Um, so I would agree.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: But you never know how much money Lucasfilm was going
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: to put out.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: Just hire somebody else.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Leave him alone.
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: For real.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: Let the guy rest. Um, but yeah, that is it
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: for our mini review of Mando. And so we go
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: on to our main topic. Star Wars Hyperspace Stories Tides
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: of Terror. This is written by George Mann. Penciled by
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: Luis Morocco. Inked by Lebeau Underwood and Ramon Lopez Cabrera.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: Colored by Michael Attea. lettered by comics crafts tyler smith
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: jimmy bet bettencourt bettencourt okay and bobby bradford uh and
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: additional art by i have no idea yes pious pious
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: bach edwin galman and tony fleeks um i did not
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: know tony fleeks did anything on this that's pretty cool
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: And then, of course, other cover art and chapter breakdowns
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: by Eduardo Melo and Valentina Tadeo.
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: Sorry.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Katie. Tony Fleek's cover.
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: Oh, that was a Tony Fleek's cover. Okay. I really
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: like Tony Fleek's. There is a image series. I believe it's...
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: stray or stray dogs. It, he, he does like anamorphic, uh, comics.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: He does a comics. That's all about cats. Then he
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: does one all about dogs. And then there's like a
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: mix or whatever. Uh, those are really, really cool.
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: Uh, but Katie thoughts on tides of terror.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: So I thought it was going to be more horror
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: esque than it felt. Um, I loved the writing. I
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: think George Mann does an incredible job as a comic author. Um,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: like no problems with that, but tides of terror makes
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: you think horror. And I don't think there was quite
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: enough perspective from Nadar, uh, to really echo that horror
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: that he was feeling because he was definitely the scared
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Padawan in this instance. Um, I will say I loved
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: uh morocco's art in this um the only thing that
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: got me um is uh the the uh toothy smiles
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: in this um particularly a lot of teeth a lot
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: of teeth I was not expecting Mace Winter to ever
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: smile with his teeth. And I know this is, like,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: before Attack of the Clones. I don't exactly know a
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: time frame on this. But, yeah, that one. And then, like,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: before the mission ever starts. Where they're like, oh, come on, Nadar.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: It'll be fun. This one.
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. The very, very beginning.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: This one... It's just like, this is more creepy than
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: the book itself, in my opinion. Otherwise, I have no
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: complaints about the art. I thought the art was gorgeous.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: I love the detail into Kit Fisto's Montrels. I think
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: they're called Montrels. But anyways. Like, I'm going to take
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: this to my sister because my sister grew up loving
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Kit Fisto. Like, she would always roleplay as Kit Fisto.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: She was always like, why does Kit Fisto not have anything?
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: So I will take this to her.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: Kit Fisto has, like, I don't know if you know this,
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: but ironically, like, some of the, like, biggest cult followings
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: for Jedi is Kit Fisto and Plu Koon. Kit Fisto
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: had like zero love in the original Clone Wars.
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: I forgot his name. The series.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we reviewed Once Upon a Time and probably forgot about.
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, his last name starts with a T. Either way,
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: debuted on Cartoon Network and Toonami and all that. Kit
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: Fisto had like no love. in that series and then
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: that's why people love yes um but like a lot
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: more people started to appreciate the newer Clone Wars series
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: because Kit Fisto got like a whole arc.
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: And like everybody's like oh this is so awesome um.
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: I really enjoyed this story I thought this was really
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: really fun I agree with you the horror aspect could
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: have been a little bit more As so I was
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: reading this silently in my room and then all of
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: a sudden Amberlynn comes crawling next to me and starts
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: looking at the pages and she's like, Daddy, get out
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: your phone and listen to it. And I said, which
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: is really, really funny because like I've explained to her
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: like what my business is and what I'm trying to do.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: And so I said, baby, there's no there's no audio
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: book for this yet. Like, I have to read it.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: I'm reading it in my head. And she's like, well,
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: read it. And so, like, then I started reading it
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: out loud, doing all the sound effects. So it was really,
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: really fun. There's one aspect of this story that I
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: do not like. And that is the like.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: And again, it may just be me, but Shaak Ti,
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: her characterization in here feels so off. Again, it may
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: just be me because really, what example do I have
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: of Shaak Ti characteristics other than, hey, she has died
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: probably more times than any other Jedi in every single
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: series that she's in. Like that's her highlight in revenge
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: of the Sith, the deleted scene.
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: She dies.
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: Uh, Shakti dies in forced unleashed. Uh, I'm pretty sure
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: in the other clone war series, she dies. Like that's
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: like her famous thing to do, uh, as of right now.
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: And so like, I really want to see some really
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: like highlighted moments of her career as a Jedi. And
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: the moments that I see her here, they feel weird.
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: Like she is doing the Hades meme from Hercules.
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: Like, like, like, I don't know if you've, you've seen it. I'll,
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: I'll like, I'll text it to you. Um, but like, I,
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: She just didn't feel like I felt no charisma from
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: shock tea. And I feel like she could be such
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: a presence in other forms of media.
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: Um, and here there.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Was nothing there and that's why I was hopeful for
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: Jedi Knights to really dive into those because Shaak Ti
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: and Luminara Unduli with Barriss Offee were like the first
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: female Jedi that you really got a chance to see
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: and to see kind of how they've fallen off uh
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: really sucks at the end of the day um I
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: didn't pay too much attention to Shaak Ti just because
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: I knew she wasn't the main character.
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: She's not the main character. Don't get me wrong. That's
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: the thing. You see her in the beginning of this mission.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: He sent me the meme, guys.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the Hades meme. There's political tension in the very
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: beginning of this mission. It's very intentional because the whole
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: point of this entire story is there is a underwater
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: colony that just had been built in a location. And
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: there are some members of the planet that are like, Hey,
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: this is not cool. There is wildlife here that you're
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: ruining their habitat, like all this other stuff.
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: And you can clearly see that there is just like.
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: In our real life, like, oligarchs and leaders that are like, Hey,
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: this is kind of best for us type of ordeal.
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: So those are the wildlife. We'll just relocate them and
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: they'll be completely fine. We've clearly seen how, like even
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: freaking killer whales have, you know, shown like, Hey, you
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: try to do that to us and we'll fight back.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: And that essentially is what happens to, In this story.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: But there's the twist. The twist of these.
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: Zorphins. As they are named. They are giant. Eel like creatures.
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: With two small. Tiny T-Rex arms. That they. They look monstrous.
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: And I really do like.
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: The four panel. Progression of. Oh my gosh, what was
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: the Padawan's name again?
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: Nadar. Nadar.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: This is the art in the back of the book.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: For those on YouTube.
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: When Nadar looks out the window of this underwater facility,
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: the background is really shady and you can barely see
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: what looks like the outline of eyes. And then it's
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: the full page spread out. Of it like crashing against
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: the window.
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: Or whatever. And he becomes so scared. Which by the way.
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: I don't know like how quickly this kid became a Padawan.
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: But he becomes so scared. He immediately turns on his lightsaber.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: And I'm like bro. Like chill out. Well and that's.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: It follows what happened with General Grievous. This is why
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: I think this is. Like between. The Phantom Menace and
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: Attack of the Clones. Because in Kit Fisto's arc. arc
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: they go to General Grievous' hideout and Nadar is very
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: quick to react and Kit Fisto's like I'm sorry I
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: missed your trials like so like he got promoted very
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: quickly after Attack of the Clones probably Anakin Skywalker and
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: the rest of the Padawans um but I feel like
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: this is very close which is also why Mace Windu's
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: face throws me.
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: Off laughing.
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: But yeah, this story is not horrible by any means.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: It's actually a really fun story.
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: It's very... For a story that.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: Came out last year, it's very environmentally, politically current feeling,
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: for sure. There's these... You find out that the saboteurs...
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: excuse me, that have like attacked this base are actually
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: the people from the very beginning of the story that
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: were kind of fighting for it.
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: And you find out the whole reason why is.
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: Oh, you know, we are actually the ones looting this
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: entire 5000 year old city that's underneath us and we're
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: just we're trying to make a quick credit you know
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: while they're also stealing the infant Zorphins and trying to
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: sell them as well so you got poaching you got
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: all sorts of stuff dealing in here.
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: And I did like it.
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: I do think what I do think is really, really
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: cool and kind of funny is this entire book full
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: of aliens, full, chock full of aliens.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: I loved that.
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: The only humanoids in this entire book are the engineers.
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: And it's only, like, three. And then the rest of
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: them are also aliens. So I really appreciated that, honestly. Like,
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: you saw some more humans when it became, like, time
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: to evacuate the whole facility. But, like, the majority of
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: this book, the highlighted characters of this book, all aliens.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And not... It's something that we've talked about a
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: lot where it's like, do we really need to be
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: missing the aliens here? Because this is Star Wars. There's
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: 800 planets in the galaxy. There can't just be humans.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: So the comic is definitely a place for it. I
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: will say, too, the other thing that I was expecting
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: with this is I was expecting there to be more
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: Kit Fisto and Nadar in the water. just because of
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: how both species are, and you're talking about Tides of Terror,
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: Kit Fisto's only really in the water for part of
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: the last issue. So that was the other thing. I
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: get why the story had to go where it went,
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: but I definitely judged it based on its cover.
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: And that's kind of the.
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: There's also a moment kind of in the middle, I
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: think it's issue two or three, where... they kind of
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: like half of the facility is already underwater. So while
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: they're inside the facility, they're also underwater.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: That's true.
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: And so there is a moment where they're both in water,
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: which is really nice. I do admit that I also
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: felt the same way when you see tides of terror
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: in You think, okay, water. You see Kit Fisto. You're expecting, oh, man,
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: things are going to get heavy-handed.
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: Especially when the first freaking chapter one looks like this.
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: I'm like, dude, I'm ready. Let's go. Yeah, exactly. I'm
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: so excited for this. How did you... I didn't even
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: put one and one together, the fact that.
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: nadar is also in clone wars totally forgot about that
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: um but like his like quickness to just like kill
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: this giant monster in the very beginning of the book
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: um that was.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: I think it goes hand in hand and that's again
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: why i think it's so close to clone wars is
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: because of that characterization in the grievous episodes the arc
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: that he's in it just flows right hand in hand.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: And it shows it, it shows the parallel, like, Hey,
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: like these Padawans that we took and knighted so that
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: we could fight this battle. We're not all.
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: Ready to jump to this level.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: And there's consequences to that. And I think, so George
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: Mann shows that effortlessly. Like we talk about the poaching,
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: we talk about like the environmental concerns and like the
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: robbing of old sites. Like that's also another one that
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: he's addressing here is the fire is the fallout, not
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: fallout failings of the Jedi council in promoting all of
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: these Padawans. Yeah.
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: 100%. For sure.
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: When, when that happened, I was like, what the heck?
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: And then there is like the teaching of like, Hey,
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: like your intention was good. So don't just like sit
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: on this and like feel guilty. Like your intention was good.
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: but we as individuals of the Jedi have to try
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: and do the best that we can without violence, you know?
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: And that's what the teaching is at the very end
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: of the book. Like that's what Nadar and Kit Fisto
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: talk about. They're like, Hey, for one, you were right.
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: This mission was not boring whatsoever. And two, like we
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: did the best we could with the actions that we
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: took and we were actually able to, you know, Pretty
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: much make everybody happy.
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: Which was really, really nice also. Yeah. Exactly. I think
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: that's it. I think that's all we have too.
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a quick read. It's a total of, I think,
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: like 100 pages. Not counting the art pages in the very,
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: very back.
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: The concept art. And guys.
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: I went to my local comic shop. The single issues
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: were still available. So I, like, I don't know how
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: many people picked this up as it was being released.
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: I took the last copy of the actual graphic novel.
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: Graphic novel is just 20 bucks. Whereas if you were
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: to pick up each individual issue, I think you would
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: be spending just a, the same amount. Each issue was
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: about four 99, I believe. Um, so whichever you can
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: get your hands on, you know, I really like the
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: cover art on each one. So if you're, if you're
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: an art person, grab those single issues. Um, but yeah,
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: that is it for us. And, uh, that is it
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: for the episode. We are cutting it before an hour long. Uh,
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: we've been, uh, A little bit on the long side recently.
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: It's nice to have one a little bit on the
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: short side.
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: But yeah, guys. Yeah, if you guys... I will say this.
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: Jake and I have not been able to record in
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: like three weeks. So we have a lot to catch
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: up on. And I'm going to have to talk to
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: Travis because... The only thing that was really keeping us
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: alive was the Power Rangers movie. And that is being canceled.
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: So I don't know if Ranger Alliance is going to
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: be out for that much longer.
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: So we'll see. I'm going to have to have a
• 46:38
  Speaker 4: long conversation.
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: With Jake and then with Travis to kind of see
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: where we're going to go from there. So I can't
• 46:44

• 47:41
  Speaker 1: see for Star Wars. I'm not going to put a

• 48:13
  Speaker 1: Master of Evil. The second review. Where Katie actually knows
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: what she's talking about this time. And then we're taking
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: a small break. For Smugglers and Scoundrels. The race for Jabba's. Bounty,
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: which is the first graphic novel from the Mad Cave
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: Paper Cats. Cool, I got that right. And then we
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: have another original topic where we talk about where we
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: want Star Wars to go moving forward before or after
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: the Skywalker saga. And then to end the month, we've
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: got Star Wars Dark Legends, which is A mythology based.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: Tales for Star Wars. From I believe it's. I believe
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: it's George Mann. And Cabin Scott. But I could be
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: wrong on that. It could just be Cabin Scott.
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: Before we leave tonight. I also want to reiterate. Edge
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: of the Abyss.
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: Is now out. Yes. Edge of the Abyss is now out.
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: And you can go purchase.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: It.
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: You can go listen to the audiobook, which means you
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: can also go listen to our review. We had it
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: about two weeks ago. We recorded and....
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: We gave our very minimal.
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: Thoughts because, of course, every book review, we want everyone
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: to go read it for themselves, get their own opinions,
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: and us kind of just talk about small sections of
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: the book. So go out, read that book. I think
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: a lot of people are really, really hyping up the
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: fact that this book does give a little bit more
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: of that characterization to Saw Gerrera. So if you're a
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: Saw guy or a Saw gal, go.
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: Read this book. It is phenomenal.
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: I really, really enjoyed this book. So go check that
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: out and then go check out our review.
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: Yep. And just to correct myself, Dark Legends is actually
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: only written by George Mann. It was one of the
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: first things that he actually wrote for Star Wars. Sweet. Yeah.
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: uh with that guys i want to wish everyone a
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: great day or night whatever whatever time of day you
