Issue 311: The Bad Batch Commentary: Devil's Deal · Aggressive Negotiations: A Star Wars Podcast

0:03
Welcome to the nerd polity. Hi, this is Nick Nastasu, story editor
0:09
on Star Wars, The Clone Wars and Star Wars bad Batch, and you
0:14
are listening to aggressive negotiations. Hello when welcome to aggressive negotiations coming at you
0:27
from the jungles of Kashik. And I am just wonder your hosts here Matthew
0:32
rushing and with me as he is every single week, the Wookie Fur Jedi
0:38
Master John Mills. Except for the top of my head that it's funny you
0:43
say the jungles of Kashik, and I can't help but think of a Jungle
0:47
Love, a very popular song from the nineteen eighties, and I would really
0:52
like sort of like a Kashik. Although Didcaushik have jungles or did it have
0:56
forests? You know what? I think it's probably a cross. It's a
0:59
jung all the forest four ungles. Yeah, George, I got a question
1:04
for you too, because I was thinking of this when you said, you
1:07
know, except on your head, do I mean do wookies suffer from you
1:11
know, alopecia? Now that reminds me of the Venture Brothers where they encountered
1:22
a sasquatch and to sneak Sasquatch by the government that was looking for Sasquatch.
1:26
He shaved Sasquatch and it was quite a look. So a hairless Wookie that
1:34
would be I mean, that would be the ultimate prank, right. You
1:37
gotta imagine that all the time they spent together, that there was some sort
1:41
of Star Wars equivalent of nair. And when Chewi went to go in to
1:44
take a shower, Han was like, Oh, this is gonna be funny.
1:47
Probably Chewie was can you imagine how cold he'd be? Ports that's terrifying.
1:52
AT's absolutely terrifying on many many levels. If people wanted to catch up
1:57
with us, they can do it all over the place. Of course,
1:59
we're on social media at this Jedi Masters on Twitter. You can also find
2:04
us online at the nerdparty dot com. We got the entire network there.
2:07
We're on Instagram at the nerd Party. Make sure you're subscribed. You'll get
2:12
the show as soon as it drops. And we'd really appreciate one of those,
2:15
you know, five star reviews over on Apple Podcasts, or you can
2:19
actually give star ratings on Spotify as well. That would really help us out.
2:23
And if you would like to send us an email. You can go
2:25
to the nerdparty dot com slash contact. You can choose a show and choose
2:30
us and we'll get that email, which would be great. We love getting
2:32
emails from people, and they actually frequently inspire shows, so true. We're
2:38
excited though, because we are continuing with our bad Batch commentary rewatch of season
2:45
one and we are on episode eleven, the Devil's Deal, and this is
2:52
the deal. What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna count us down three two
2:55
one play and when I say play, you're gonna hit play. It's very
3:00
complicated, so three two one play, all right? You know what?
3:08
That was so simple, even though I could do it. So I want
3:10
to congratulate you, sir. Those instructions were very straightforward, and even a
3:15
Baldwookie like myself is now enjoying you know. I have to think on the
3:20
level of apes for you, and so I I was glad that you could
3:27
do it. I know our listeners very well, are you know, like
3:30
actual geniuses, so they don't need that, but I knew you did.
3:35
Let's not run away with it. Maybe genius apes good middle ground. Yeah,
3:39
yeah, I mean I like to think of myself as a genius ape.
3:43
So yes, oh all right, remember what I said about starting off
3:46
with you know, a city establishing shot last time always makes me a little
3:51
nervous about stuff going on. But I love that we're here and we got
3:57
you know, we got Tweelex in the mix here. I'm like, oh
4:00
boy, that's always a good sign. Yeah. Being on Rylath here is
4:04
phenomenal. And of course we had been here in the Clone Wars many times,
4:11
and the course on rebels and be here now I think is just so
4:15
exciting, especially since this gives us the opportunity to be able to set up
4:20
things that we would see in rebels. I also like the fact that we
4:27
start off with orn free Tah, because everybody forgets the Senate is in play
4:30
until a new Hope, until that desk Star goes operational. The Emperor is
4:35
using the bureaucracy to stay in control. So I like the fact that for
4:40
this continuity we have Orange free Tah here, and you know, so that
4:44
it's even beyond having a clone there. This shows that this is a transitional
4:49
moment for everything, and that the Senator is foolish enough to think that this
4:54
means he can possibly retain his stature that the senators, the people who had
5:00
who are in the position of bureaucratic power, they're the ones that had the
5:03
hardest time accepting that it was a new set of rules now well. And
5:08
then the fact the fact that Harris's parents are here as well is phenomenal because
5:14
General Champsunula is the head of the army here on Ryloth, which again great
5:19
connection to everything that we saw in the Clone Wars. And then continuing that,
5:26
so I also love the fact that the central structure here that they're speaking
5:31
from look straight out of a Ralph mcquarie concept painting that you cannot underscore enough
5:40
how important it is. Those are visual cues that, whether we realize it
5:46
or not, play so much in us accepting it as this is Star Wars
5:50
is it's got to have that right look and feel. It's the same,
5:55
but it's not identical. It doesn't look like nothing change whatsoever over this time.
6:00
Sprain. It's we can see where it's headed and where we where,
6:03
Like architecture is telling us where we are at this point in the story.
6:09
I like that. I like that a lot. I also love here is
6:13
that we can see that ornfrey Ta has no pull on Riloth anymore, and
6:17
the people really only respect General Sindula, which creates a very interesting conundrum for
6:26
this entire episode, as he's the one trying to tell the people, hey,
6:31
we can trust the Clone army, we can trust what's happening here.
6:35
That they're the ones who fought for us, and they've earned our respect.
6:41
We deserve to give them a chance here, and the Empire a chance.
6:46
And you can see how this is going to play into this character and what
6:50
it's going to do to him when he realizes obviously that's not the case.
6:56
And what weight would you feel when you've promised your people it's going to be
7:04
okay and it turns out to be anything but okay. Well, it also
7:10
underscores the fact that, uh, you know, the the imperial bureaucracy is
7:14
smart enough to understand that they have a little bit of, you know,
7:18
a political play here for this shell game, because unwittingly Champson Dula just said,
7:27
oh no, look, they fought with us, you can trust them.
7:30
The Empire is manipulating everything to say they well, let's let them do
7:35
the natural instinctive thing, which is to say, hey, they're the same
7:39
people we've always played within. There's Chopper, so uh, you know,
7:47
I gotta say probably. I mean, he's definitely in the top three a
7:53
droids, right, oh yeah, oh yeah, if I mean fantastic.
7:56
It's it's tough to pick a favorite droid sometimes, but you know, seeing
8:03
seeing a character like this that like, you know, you see a Hara
8:07
and you're like, yeah, of course I love Harry, see Warren free
8:09
Taller. Look there's continuity. You see Chopper and you're like, oh goody,
8:13
the fun guy is here. You know, like it's just a it's
8:16
a different type of emotional reaction. I also I love being able to see
8:20
the Tweelex on their home planet and to be able to see the differentiation between
8:28
them. You know, each of them has different markings on their head tails,
8:35
and you know the different looks that they have, and I just find
8:39
it really well done. I Mean, we talk a lot about the artwork
8:43
here, but in those crowd scenes, we saw the difference between the Tweelex
8:48
and it just there's such an interesting race and the beauty here. As we
8:52
get to see that, you know, there's so much more than slave dancers
8:58
and right we are and I'm actually hoping that this series will kind of help
9:05
answer some of those questions as to why so many twilets and up in that
9:11
type of slavery, What happens here on this planet that leads to that happening?
9:18
You know, do they rise up before the rebellion starts and that's what
9:22
cause us this crackdown and the you know, the Zigerians come in or something
9:26
like that. You know, I just I think there's so many great questions
9:28
that come from seeing these characters here again in this show. Well, you
9:35
know, I would actually say it's probably even a little more. You know,
9:39
I don't necessarily want to see the one to one because in my head,
9:43
I can sit there I'm going to be like, you know, basically,
9:46
it's representative of the fact that by the time we get to the original
9:50
trilogy, all beings are simply viewed as commodities. You're just a human resource
9:54
to be used within the context of empire. You're not an individual, you're
9:58
not a and you're not a proud race that stood up for independence or anything
10:03
like that. You are simply a commodity. You're just another thing that is
10:07
to be traded, and you know, honestly, it's one of the more
10:11
terrifying things that you see sometimes in modern American society, where people are just
10:16
human resources. You're you're just a figure to be plugged in to make sure
10:22
the equation balances. And so you see this history of Ryloth, and then
10:28
you get to the original trilogy and the only tweetlegs you see are exactly what
10:33
you said. You know, Ulah is the only tweelet we knew for a
10:35
very long time, along with Bib Fortuna. And so there's a very very
10:41
interesting thing. But also I think the history of Ryloth is an important thing
10:45
to point out. You know, when they threw out the expanded Universe for
10:48
the first time, in a sense, they didn't throw it out wholesale,
10:52
but it was, you know, whatever works on screen, we're going to
10:56
ignore what came before. And I remember there was this really interesting backstory on
10:58
Rye that was in vision for the West End Games D six version that ry
11:05
Loth was like Mercury. There was eternal night, there was eternal Day,
11:09
and you had you know this this you know cast system based on it.
11:13
But then we get to the Clone Wars and now the Bad Batch and there,
11:16
there's a much more nuanced sort of approach. The Twilex feel like an
11:22
actual functional society as opposed to just some sort of cartoony side creature with head
11:31
tails. I'm sorry for going on and on about it now. No,
11:35
No, I think the other thing that's so cool about what's happening here is
11:39
that you see Champson du La he is trying to convince himself that the Empire
11:48
means good here, and you know his lieutenant is very wary of what's happening.
11:54
In fact, he's very much wondering what the Empire is actually doing here.
12:00
And Orne free Ta is saying, yeah, the influence that Champs and
12:05
Dula has is going to be a problem. And we see two crosshair saying,
12:13
yeah, you got to worry about his lieutenant. He's the one you
12:16
need to worry about. Uncle Goby is the one that's going to be the
12:22
problem here. And so I think what I love is the nuance here.
12:26
There's so many things where you can just see that cham is like we've been
12:31
fighting this war for so many years. He just wants it to be over.
12:37
But see, even that winds up being a very important contrast with somebody
12:41
like Sauguerrera, who seems only too happy to keep fighting. Yes, yes,
12:46
Sauguerrera is in a place where he's never going to stop fighting. There's
12:50
always going to be an enemy to fight, whereas you have other people that
12:54
say, haven't we fought for long enough? Yeah? And the thing is
12:58
that is almost one of my or not almost, that is like one of
13:01
my favorite historical things that when you get to the end of World War Two,
13:07
there were a ton of people that's let's lay down, our arms were
13:09
done. Patton was all about, no, no, no, let's press
13:13
the advantage. We can make this right for you know, from this point
13:18
forward, and there were a lot of people saying, no, George,
13:20
look, we fought for so long. We need to really just take a
13:24
breath here and just stop doing this. And so I think again, it's
13:30
you know, we talk about this constantly. Star Wars has that echo of
13:33
reality, and I think it's really interesting. We are very familiar with Star
13:39
Wars fans with the path that saw Guerrera is going to go on. We've
13:41
already got rogue one by this point and everything, Whereas now we're seeing that
13:46
other side of people who are just exhausted. They just want the war to
13:50
end. The previous episode we were in, it was the same sort of
13:52
vibe where it's like, Okay, look it's it's over. Can't we can't
13:58
we just stop fighting? And then the people realizing that every like we're seeing
14:03
all of these people both sides, we got duped. The fight isn't over
14:11
because none of us won. It's not that everybody won, it's not the
14:16
one side one is that nobody won well. And the biggest question that just
14:20
came up in the conversation between Jams and Doulah and his wife is what if
14:30
their version of peace doesn't look like ours? And that's the scariest thing here
14:37
we see that happening is that the Empire's version of peace looks like what they
14:43
wanted to look like. They're imposed peace. And that's the scary part about
14:48
this whole thing. And you know, obviously, you know, we see
14:52
that champs Umduah's wife Goby, they know that the Empire can't be trusted.
15:00
Already, cham is just wishing to all that is holy on Ryloth that he
15:07
can trust them, because yes, he doesn't want Ryloth to suffer the same
15:13
way that it's been suffering under the war of the Clone Wars and again I
15:20
sin it's I sing the praises all the time. But the lighting this is
15:24
starship cockpit lighting. There's you know, the way that the camera moves,
15:30
but the shot of them landing with the planets in the background, this is
15:35
one of the most alien skies we've ever gotten in Star Wars. And it's
15:41
beautiful. It's and we don't even blink at it because the way that everything
15:46
is arranged and aligned. Again, it's it's so weird to sit there and
15:52
say, like, oh, looks like Star Wars, but that is what
15:56
it is. Is it looks like Star Wars. And then we have our
16:00
tie in with the batch with the Marauder coming. Like once we see this
16:03
ship arrive, you know almost it's almost like this acts like one of those
16:08
nineteen eighties backdoor pilots where you have the main shows people show up to give
16:15
legitimacy to the new people that you're meeting. And even though it's not that
16:21
this is the bad Batch, obviously we're taking the time to give a Hara
16:27
origin story, but it's important for us to have this scene. We have
16:32
crosshair up to this point. But to have the rest of the Batch there
16:36
is a really important legitimizing is too strong a word, you know what I'm
16:41
saying. No, I know, it gives it that weight where it's like,
16:42
okay, this is where we're tied in well, And I think the
16:45
beauty of this is what it's doing, is that it is using the Bad
16:51
Batch to be able to help us understand the storyline outside of their perspective a
16:56
little bit with a perspect active to which we are already interested in, because
17:02
this is Harah and her people and her parents and her origin story basically as
17:07
to how she gets into this fight. But it also allows us then to
17:12
realize that as we move forward with the seasons of the Bad Batch, that
17:18
those characters could actually join up later on, right as they begin to help
17:26
build a very small rebellion, which is such an exciting thing because a lot
17:32
of these characters would intersect because they might have similar desires to see the galaxy
17:40
free of the Empire. And I love the fact that there's this sense Omega
17:48
finding her place as an official member of the team, giving her permission to
17:52
come aboard and warning her you know, I'll be watching you. But then
17:56
we have this very interesting discussion between the two of them, because again this
18:00
whole show, Omega is discovering the bigger world, and Harra becomes the one
18:06
to tell her, you know, because Omega says, here, you know,
18:08
oh hey, they won't let me fly until I can recite everything,
18:11
and harr is saying, it's about more than the rules. It's about it's
18:15
about the feeling. And they're they're going along, you know, but when
18:19
we're not getting chased or shot at, it's by room like you even think
18:26
about. Even though they're trying to give Omega some sort of semblance of normalcy,
18:32
they are not in any normal situation. No matter what, Omega is
18:36
never going to know what it's like to have a quote unquote normal family where
18:40
you have a house that you come back to after school every day. She's
18:45
on the road, on the run with a band of outlaws like it's and
18:49
but that idea of what is right and what is normal is all so relative,
18:56
And that speaks again to what Star Wars is always reinforced that family is
19:00
at the core. But what does family look like? It's different for everybody.
19:07
Well, and I think the cool thing here is in what we kind
19:11
of see about the bad Batch. In many ways, is they mimic some
19:17
of the beauties of some of the great Westerns, Right, they're in many
19:21
ways like the Magnificent Seven. You know, um, they're the characters should
19:26
kind of come in and you know again, you're right, I know what
19:30
you're gonna say. It's this shot these shots of also but also the ship.
19:36
What I love about it is it's evocative of uh, slave one all
19:42
right, pardon Boba fet starship. Yes, um, sorry, yeah,
19:48
I remember what it was called though so many years ago. But you look
19:51
at it and it's very evocative of it. It really does call it to
19:56
mind without being an exact duplicate. It's like, oh again, it's that
20:02
idea of we're in a mass production society, galactic one. Of course,
20:07
there's going to be a constancy to the modularity of things and parts and pieces
20:12
that are put together. I think too, this is you know, such
20:18
an interesting thing is that as the Empire moves into these planets, it's always
20:23
cognizant of the fact that there is there's probably going to be a separatist element.
20:30
And what I mean is not separatists as we knew them in the clone
20:33
wars about people who are not fans of the Empire, and therefore they are
20:38
looking to root them out almost immediately, and that's what we're seeing here on
20:44
Ryloth. They have been there, most likely doing the research reconnaissance to figure
20:52
out who these people are. And what they've figured out very quickly is that
20:56
it is Gobie, who is the lieutenant to General Dula, who is the
21:00
leader of the resistance on this planet, and they're working to take them out
21:08
immediately, and by implicating Harah here, they can discredit Sendula and truly bring
21:17
this planet under their rule. Although Rampart is like Tarkan, like Crenick,
21:25
like other characters we've seen, he's politically wise or in free Tah who has
21:30
his own beef with Sindula. Hey, Harris proof she's terrible, she's evil.
21:34
We can go after him and Ramparts like. It's a little trickier than
21:37
you think. That's yeah, we got to be careful with our play here.
21:42
And that really really is one of those things where you look at something
21:49
like this and we've had this discussion before. Palpatine's trying to create a sense
21:55
of evil and imbalance and terror, and it speaks to the fact that he
22:02
didn't really need to. That's what's so interesting is he could have let people
22:07
think they won and instead worked behind the shadows. In a sense, everything
22:12
that's happening is because Palpatine simply wants it to, and the bureaucracy that existed
22:18
in the Republic simply wants it to. They just shut up, slave,
22:22
We just want you to be our human resource and go through with everything,
22:27
as opposed to what they could have done, which is the war's over,
22:33
okay, everybody, and then quietly just eat away at their at their their
22:37
rights and their freedoms. But at the same time, who's paying attention to
22:41
Ryloth, who knows what's going on here? Right? Well? And I
22:48
think you know the scary thing is for these people, you know, Sendula
22:53
talks about the idea that we can trust the clones. We fought side by
22:57
signed by them, we've earned their trust. And yet what they don't realize
23:03
is they can't trust the clones. The clones are under the control of the
23:08
Emperor fully with Order sixty six, and so because of that, there isn't
23:18
a chance for these planets. Hey look, blurgs, but it's it is
23:25
even beyond that, even without Order sixty six. Order sixty six is specifically
23:30
related to the Jedi. The clones are bred to be loyal. It's simply
23:37
and again I've talked about this M. Scott Peck. He wrote a book
23:41
called People of the Lie and he was it was a really interesting thing.
23:45
It made me think a lot because he was talking about it in terms of
23:48
a volunteer army instead of a draft army, where he said, an army
23:55
that's dedicated simply to the country and the cause is not devoted to the people
24:02
per se. And so that's the misstep is the clones are devoted to the
24:06
concept of maintaining order. They don't care who's in charge or what needs to
24:12
be done to maintain order, because their entire goal is simply to, to
24:18
your point, make peace. And if it means you have to be harsh
24:22
with people to keep peace cool, it means you don't means necessary. Absolutely,
24:30
there you go, there you go. I think you have you have
24:34
uh you know, did the blurbs and that the idea of how uh you
24:41
know, people who are trained to be um you know, um guerrilla fighters
24:48
are simply going to be effective against any force that comes in well, and
24:52
and what's what's so fascinating about this too, and and and the beauty of
24:57
what George did is, you know, what we're playing upon is this idea,
25:03
is that these smaller forces can take on the military might that everybody thinks
25:08
is unstoppable, you know, from the American Revolution to his thoughts about you
25:14
know, what happened in Vietnam to beyond that. Right, that's what we're
25:18
playing on, as that these revolutions can be successful because normal people stand up
25:29
and say no. And that's the beauty of this episode, right, is
25:33
that we are seeing those normal people on Ryloth say no. And you know,
25:41
it's interesting obviously to watch Harrah kind of get involved with this so early
25:45
in her life. And you know, in many ways she's much like Cassie
25:49
and andor who when he says, I've been in this fight since I was
25:53
six years old, Harrah's what like maybe ten here, you know, So
26:00
she's been in this fight. She's seen it from the Clone Wars onward her
26:04
whole life, like that's all she's known. And the very thing that Champson
26:11
Dula has been trying to keep from happening, which is that she would live
26:15
a life that he lived, which is a life of war, is going
26:19
to happen. And that that moment, that moment where he leve levels the
26:30
blaster and he doesn't really you know, I love these these moments. This
26:37
is this is classic Star Wars. The people trying to talk the person out
26:41
of making the evil choice, and the way to appeal to a father is
26:48
don't make this evil choice in front of your kid. Are you doing something
26:52
your child would not be what would not be proud of? And then Crosshair
26:56
takes the shot because it's more politically valuable to frame those who don't support the
27:04
Empire and at the same time get rid of orn Free Tah, who does
27:11
have some political clout because he's been around for years and he's representative of the
27:15
Old Republic. Yeah, well get rid of him. Like this is a
27:19
win win win across the board for the Empire. It's like Michael Scott wrote
27:25
this episode. But Rampart it's a smart guy. Man, He's a smart
27:30
guy. As much as he looks like a Disney character, well whoa hey,
27:34
he's a Disney villain, right, he looks he looks the most like
27:38
a Disney character of any of the animated characters we've seen, and he's the
27:41
villain and he's smart about how to take you know, it's making me uncomfortable?
27:48
Is the mouse House rampart? I don't know. I'm not saying obviously,
27:52
I'm joking obviously, what I what I love is that you know too,
27:57
we leave this episode with a very precarious situation for HERA and I think
28:03
the beauty of the episode is that, you know, we're setting up her
28:10
in her origin story, which is really so fun to be able to do
28:14
here. But at the same time, her origin story is going to be
28:18
tied to the fact that the bad Batch are going to be the ones who
28:22
are going to come in and help Yo, and they're going to be the
28:26
ones who help kind of cement her feelings on this whole thing, which it's
28:33
that thing that this season is doing. It's the thing that season two is
28:37
doing, which is slowly moving these characters into the position where they have to
28:42
make that choice, how are we going to live the rest of our lives?
28:48
And what are we going to do with the time that we've been given?
28:52
And what you're hitting on right there is exactly what Star Wars is supposed
28:56
to be about, which is disciplined storytelling, And this is disciplined storytelling.
29:04
This does not resolve Harri's arc all in one episode. This does not resolve
29:10
everything about anyone all in one episode. This is a piece of the story.
29:15
This is patient. This is a team saying we don't have to tell
29:21
it all in twenty two minutes. We can do a piece at a time
29:26
and give just enough that the audience cares so that they come back next week.
29:30
It's classic serial thinking, which is exactly what Star Wars and even Indiana
29:36
Jones are based on. Is get the audience involved and cut it at a
29:42
point where they say, I gotta learn more, right, I gotta know
29:48
more about this. And I think the beauty of it too is that the
29:56
bad Batch in many ways is helping time so many parts of Star Wars together,
30:04
which I think is important and tells us so much about Star Wars storytelling
30:10
and what makes it it's best, which is when it it allows Star Wars
30:21
to reflect the whole and it builds a piece of that. And I love
30:27
that this show is so much a part of that, and it's one of
30:33
the things I've loved about or rewatch, and it's It's one of the things
30:36
I'm really enjoying, of course about watching season two and can't wait to get
30:40
further into that. But yeah, this is you know, rewatching. This
30:45
has been so much fun so far, it has, and it's gonna get
30:49
more fun as we get as we continue to head towards the end of the
30:55
season. But if people want to have fun with you online, where can
31:00
they find you, Master Rushing, Well, the best places to do that
31:03
are on Twitter, Instagram, Letterbox of Arrow under the name Matt Rushing zero
31:08
two. I'm also here on the network with a completed show called owl Post
31:14
with Dre Kaufman. We talked about every single chapter of the Harry Potter series,
31:17
one chapter at a time. Over on the TFM network, I am
31:21
doing a few shows. One is called The six or two Club. It's
31:23
a show that we cover all of the phantoms we love, not just one.
31:29
John is a frequent guest over there. There's some great bonus shows that
31:32
we do as well. In that same feed, assembling Avengers as well as
31:37
Snyder Cuts, you can also find me doing literary treks about the books and
31:41
the comics of Star Trek, the orb about Star Trek, Deep says nine,
31:45
We're five about Star Trek Enterprise, Saddle Up about strange New worlds,
31:49
and Artificial Tango is a right around the corner again as Star Trek card season
31:56
three is about the hit, so you want to check that out. But
31:59
John, you know, if people wanted to say, hey, what's going
32:01
on with John, where would they find you? Nobody wants to know that.
32:06
Matt. However, if they wanted to find me, I am,
32:07
of course kessel junkie out there on the social networks. And if anybody wants
32:14
to prove that they listened this far into the episode, simply tweet the word
32:20
clone at me and Matt and let us know that you were listening. And
32:24
of course you can hear me on the network on a show called house Lights,
32:29
where we look at the work of directors from all sorts of crazy combinations
32:32
that sometimes don't even have to do with anything having to do with the directors.
32:37
But it's fun. It's a lot of fun, and so that's right.
32:39
Tune into Houselights. You can hear me there too. And like Matt
32:44
mentioned on six or two Club, I show up every so often, and
32:49
I'm also on Snyder Cuts and Assembling Avengers. So with all of that said,
32:52
Master Rushing, I think it is incumbent upon us to prepare for the
32:58
next episode and get to know the terrain of Ryloth because something's a bruin.
33:02
After this episode, I think it's time to close these negotiations. John,
33:08
negotiations are closed. Join the Revolution, Join the Nerd Party.
