- 4:09for all nerds, it'll come right up. We're all over the place and
- 4:12we're here to talk the Mandalorian season three. So first off, I just
- 4:15want to know everyone, what is you know, what were your general feelings
- 4:20about season three of Mando. I really enjoyed it. I mean, here's
- 4:27the thing that we all know that you can't have the same energy that you
- 4:36have the first season. It's just impossible. But I like the fact that
- 4:40it was more an ensemblecast. We got we got all of the other stories
- 4:45about some of the other side characters that we were looking for. I've heard
- 4:48a lot of complaints about, like, oh, there should have been more
- 4:51Mando in it, but I think everybody forgets that page of Pascal was,
- 4:56you know, basically recording a whole other show. So I enjoyed it.
- 5:00I enjoyed the expansion of the universe. And I also think there was some
- 5:02good writing. Was every single episode on point? No, never never is?
- 5:08But I I enjoyed it, and I enjoyed where we are now,
- 5:12all right, uh, Regie. I enjoyed the action. I love the
- 5:18movement of it. I love to see all all the Mandalorians information with their
- 5:26little jet packs. Um. I enjoyed seeing that. UM. I enjoyed
- 5:30seeing grow gu Um sort of growing to his own as both the Mandalorian and
- 5:36a Jedi, and he still has a you know, a long way to
- 5:39go. So that's where I enjoyed everything. I like blasters and things blowing
- 5:45up, so that that definitely caught my attention and held me and held me
- 5:49as a viewer. Okay, rod uh, Yeah, I enjoyed it as
- 5:56well. Um. I think I said this at the end of season one.
- 6:00I realized that it's basically like Star Wars version of Samurai Jack, and
- 6:05so that kind of opened up my enjoyment for it because I just wasn't really
- 6:11expecting. Um, like I feel like indoors kind of like for for the
- 6:15grown ups, you know what I mean. And then this is like for
- 6:18kind of like the general Star Wars fair that we've had before. Um,
- 6:23special effects are amazing. I like it is low key, like I'll do
- 6:28wonder if like the Disney Marvel people have beef with when, like, how
- 6:34much time does the other people get? Because like they joined, was that
- 6:39joined like a movie the last LP cuple Epso I was like, oh,
- 6:43they let them take they time, like you know, so it looked great.
- 6:46It felt like Star Wars. UM. And I'm a huge Clone Wars
- 6:50rebels like the animated stuff fan so any time for Lonely the God gets involved
- 6:59and I start the characters brought the life that I've only seen animated. I'm
- 7:04I'm sorry, but I turned into a kid again. Like I'm just like,
- 7:08I cannot believe this is happening. This is the kind of stuff my
- 7:11whole life. I was told you just can't do. It's silly to try
- 7:15to make this live action, and so I liked it. They went for
- 7:17the silly stuff, and even the stuff that felt like a stretch or a
- 7:21miss were things that I'm glad they tried. Like even when it was like
- 7:26Lizzo and Jack Black, I was like, yes, like do this.
- 7:30Let's if we gotta have a bottle of episode, let's bottle it with some
- 7:33people that make me smile as soon as I see their face, you know.
- 7:36So I was, I was. I was huge into this season,
- 7:41all right, Andrea, I had some mixed feelings about this, And I
- 7:45think it was because yes, right after Andor, I just was so so
- 7:50enamored with the storytelling an Andor and I totally agree it was it was a
- 7:56bit more grown up. You didn't see the lightsabers and in the force really
- 8:00be foregrounded here. I almost felt like this was kind of like Clone Wars
- 8:05come to life. Like this in a good way. This was the live
- 8:11action version of the community of Mandalorian folk, right. This wasn't centered around
- 8:18one individual Mando and not even centered around grow Gou, So I liked that
- 8:24it kind of pulled back the landscape a little bit, showed us about the
- 8:28relationships, the kind of the dynamics and fight for power and what power even
- 8:35means in this community, and then of course the huge battle for the promised
- 8:41land. Everyone is coming together to reclaims what they feel is rightfully, there's
- 8:48just in terms of their homeland, and I thought that storytelling was extremely powerful
- 8:54for me. The scenes and the stories that caught my attention were more of
- 9:00the b stories, right the the growing underground Council that supposedly is going to
- 9:07bring the first order in um, the Kine who's this this like, uh,
- 9:15I think she's under amnesty and she's messing with doctor Pershing. And the
- 9:22tone around this concept that you think you're safe, you kind of think you're
- 9:26with the good guys, and this concept that imperialism still lives and this is
- 9:31how it manifests in this society at this time point. So a lot of
- 9:37um complicated and complex themes there, and I was more drawn to those stories
- 9:41than all of the um maybe all of the action and the fighting, simply
- 9:46because I think we had seen a lot of that in Baba Fet and in
- 9:50the Mando seasons. I think I was pretty much the same I had.
- 9:56I had mixed feelings about the season. I'll say I liked it, you
- 9:58know, I enjoyed it. I felt it was a little short, and
- 10:01because of that, I felt like there was some time wasted that could have
- 10:05been done better. And I just wasn't Amando is like my least favorite character
- 10:11on the show at this point, and I just was really kind of confused
- 10:15about some of his motivations throughout the season. Me and Tod town I talked
- 10:18about this before and we made a lot of jokes about it, but I
- 10:20really had a lot of issues with the whole episode where he was going after
- 10:24the droids. I felt like he was a racist cop in that episode and
- 10:28it just kind of lost me. And UM, I want to ask this,
- 10:33which of y'all. I know Rob said he had has everyone else here
- 10:35seen Clone Wars and Rebels before this Rebels, yes I have. I haven't
- 10:41seen all of Clone Wars. I did, I did the opposite, but
- 10:45I know I know the storyline. Yeah, I seen most of Clone Wars
- 10:50and like a handful of Rebels episodes. Interesting, Okay, so there's gonna
- 10:56be a lot of because I've seen all of Clone Wars and I I now
- 11:01have one episode left of Rebels. Even though I know what happens in it,
- 11:03I was just devastated over events that happened in the last season of Rebels,
- 11:07so to me, a long time to get over to that last season.
- 11:11So I mean last episode. So I'm a huge Feloney fan as well.
- 11:15I also felt like some of this season, well, I don't know
- 11:18if it's a season of just in general, I was kind of like when
- 11:22you start seeing everything, not to seeing stuff in live, actually seeing the
- 11:26characters from Rebels popped up the season was mind blown for me. But just
- 11:33everything being related part of it kind of gets where you know, wears on
- 11:39me. And more so, I felt this season I just didn't, like
- 11:43I said, going back to Mandal, I didn't understand his choices and I
- 11:46felt like he just at the kind of stupid through a lot of the season,
- 11:48and that it was hilarious and entertaining, but I just wanted someone to
- 11:52question some of the things they were talking about. Like I love when Bothatan
- 11:56met him and she was like, oh, you're one of those. You're
- 11:58one of those dude doesn't take off his mask, one of those weirdos and
- 12:01stuff, and that kind of stuff I wish was more addressed this season than
- 12:07people kind of it just kind of got swept under the road. Like now
- 12:09they're all friends, you know, the ones who wear the mask, the
- 12:11ones who don't, and everybody's pooled together. It's all chill, or at
- 12:15least for now. Maybe they'll sport that more in that season. We'll see.
- 12:16So, I mean, they was fighting on the ship, you know,
- 12:20like they wasn't They wasn't always all cool. Like I liked the conflict,
- 12:24but like one thing I liked about the Mandalorians, it kind of reminds
- 12:28me of like black people and in America and stuff, where like when you
- 12:33have a shared enemy, that's like what it's like, Oh no, we
- 12:39could put that aside. And ye that felt like the like they blew up
- 12:43their own planet, Like that was not the Empire that you know that like
- 12:46they was bombing their own stuff and and like you felt the energy every time
- 12:52they made a new group. It was like one of these niggas and then
- 12:56like eventually they would kind of work it in the like, yeah, but
- 13:00it's better than the Empire. And so you're right in that they probably could
- 13:05have taken like a couple of the bottleneck or filler episodes and made it more
- 13:09about those working out those inner conflicts and stuff. I could I could definitely
- 13:13see a path for that, but yeah, I definitely. And maybe it's
- 13:18also the Rebels, because you know, Rebels was heavy about Mandaloras, so
- 13:22like maybe that's what it is where I'm like, I'm bringing background where I'm
- 13:24like, oh, yeah, I know they got beef and then they don't
- 13:28knit they I think that's the thing where Felony is. He probably is so
- 13:31connected to all this work now he doesn't feel like I gotta show my work
- 13:35every time. It's like, y'all know, if you've been paying attention to
- 13:39these two people, got beef, so let's go. And I could I
- 13:41could, yeah, I could feel you a not yeah, and I've seen
- 13:45it all. But I just like even having seen it all, like,
- 13:48okay, and for those who haven't seen it all, how did y'all feel
- 13:50about bo Katan? That's what I want to know, Like, because I
- 13:52felt she was a bit well I'll get to that. How did y'all feel?
- 13:58Okay? So what I felt when I saw this version of Bokton,
- 14:03Uh, well, there were sometimes that I'm like, this is Starbuck playing
- 14:07Bokton, but that's something else. But I also felt like I want to
- 14:11know what happened to her since Clone Wars, like since rebels rather like because
- 14:16it's not that she was happy, go lucky, but she had like a
- 14:18just her energy was, you know, obviously different. Obviously she's younger,
- 14:22but I just kept thinking, ooh, what's an old girl go through?
- 14:24Like obviously there are some things that happened that you know, she we talked
- 14:30about the you know, the war that happened there and obviously she you know,
- 14:33comes to this world family who we met, and rebels, and but
- 14:37there's something else and I don't know if that's going to be a spin off
- 14:41or whatever. Um I will say I thought it was very funny the treatment
- 14:45of Bokaton by the Armorer versus h Jinjar, and I didn't know if she
- 14:50was like, I'm so glad to have another sister here. I don't know
- 14:52what to do, but it just because she was like the Armor dn Jaron
- 14:56shows up, did you take off your helmet? Guess you got to walk
- 15:00the earth like Kane, You're gonna go find the man. You gotta go
- 15:03bathe in the Mandalorian waters and fight a mythical beast. And Tara shows up
- 15:07and she's like, yeah, I never wear my helmet. She's like,
- 15:09it's good. Did you take it off recently? Were cool? And actually,
- 15:13you know you can just hang with us. I was like, I
- 15:16think the Armor needs a friend, Like she was like, I need somebody
- 15:24to do Mandy's and Patties with. This is a problem. There's sisty dudes.
- 15:28So yeah, no, I just I there were some inconsistencies in the
- 15:33story that we're you know, obvious, um, but I definitely felt.
- 15:37I definitely felt that Bok has had something happened to her. I just kept
- 15:41thinking, like, what did you go through? And will we see that
- 15:43story in even if it's not in the Mandalorian, will we see in in
- 15:48a comic? Will we had somebody written about it in a book that I
- 15:50haven't read, because you know, the Star Wars lore is across so many
- 15:54different mediums, like is there a video game where this was a cut scene
- 15:58that I missed? You know, so that's what I felt. I mean,
- 16:00she'd been through hell though, dude, do not forget she's been through
- 16:03Hell and Rebels alone, like, no spoilers, but she goes through hell,
- 16:08you know, hell and back so like and then her bomb and then
- 16:11her planet gets blown to hell after that in between that, so I understood
- 16:15why she was a little down. Even the way they showed like how Mark
- 16:18getting got the blade from her, It's just like, yeah, oh girl,
- 16:22I didn't. I had no idea got this riggle for you because I
- 16:26mean, yeah, she gave it up, like, which is yeah,
- 16:30after all that shitting Rebels, I think this season show that she she made
- 16:34a lot of sacrifices, like even for folks who watched like Mandorian season two,
- 16:40when we first meet Bocusan and she's even a different person then yeah,
- 16:44do we meet her. She's just all about you know, getting getting that
- 16:47saber, getting the dark Sabor, and then when we see her again in
- 16:51uh in this season, she's dejected. She subjected her people after all her
- 16:56man's and then they're gone and she should sitting in the house by herself where
- 17:00that big throne room by herself by Oh that was such a that was such
- 17:06a gangster video visual too. Yeah leg up. Yeah. She was like
- 17:14you again, where are you coming here for? So excited about that.
- 17:18But I think she did life. I think she did yeah, and in
- 17:23and seeing like didn't come again and she's like, nah, brother, I
- 17:26don't want to bother with you. And then she sees on Grogu he's by
- 17:29himself, like, Okay, what's what does this fool do? Now?
- 17:32You know he wants to bless himself and Lake Minnetaka and all that. Let
- 17:36me see what happened to this dude. And I think that I think helping
- 17:41him and then seeing the other Mandalorians and then accepting her to whatever extent,
- 17:45helped renew her faith in in her people and wanting to bridge that gap between
- 17:51between the clients. I think we saw a very interesting story arc. I
- 17:55guess we'll continue to, you know, see that into the next season.
- 17:56That's my that's my assumption. I I agree. I think that she is
- 18:02um really growing into that resilient leadership that I think they need. They're a
- 18:07little bit adrift, and she comes in with this confidence that it just really
- 18:14demonstrates that she's had a lot of experiences and she, unlike anyone else,
- 18:18she knows how to wield the Dark Saber. I mean everyone else is like
- 18:22holding the thing near near their knees, like all Wobbly didn't can't even hold
- 18:26it up over his head, and she is just naturally attuned to it.
- 18:30As I understand it, there is some kind of attunement you have to have
- 18:34with the dark Saber. So I agree. I liked the arc. I
- 18:38wish she would have let Mercedes talk Mercedes aka is Sasha Banks? Like who
- 18:45got did did she even have a line in this one? Because I don't
- 18:51think she had one in the last season two. I count it. It's
- 18:52like two, Like that was a disservice to her as an actor. And
- 18:57also she could probably probably do some some physical things, and I just felt
- 19:03like there could have been more that she could have um she could have done
- 19:06and it would not have taken away from Bocaton story at all. No,
- 19:10not at all. I mean she did get a little physical action the first
- 19:12time we see her in season two, but this time, you're right,
- 19:15she sat on the sidelines and comments that that was her whole deal, Like,
- 19:19you know, she's like, look at them fight. I definitely got
- 19:22the feeling though that there were some things left on the edit room floor because
- 19:26there were no just in general, there were some some scenes that you know
- 19:32when they that they do that old school wipe that I'm like, that was
- 19:34a weird shot to end on. So I definitely felt like there were more.
- 19:40I feel like, if there are some you know, behind the scenes
- 19:45shots or some hey, these are some cut scenes that we might see more
- 19:51of a conversation because I didn't want to hear what she thought, as well
- 19:52as like, why are we going back with this, dude? Why are
- 19:56we doing this? Also hopeful that if you know, they do a the
- 20:00season and it's more of an ensemble situation, we can get some of that
- 20:03because, Asrea brought up earlier, the b stories to me were the more
- 20:07interesting world building stories this time. And then you know, like, I
- 20:12guess I've never really felt like Mando is a main character, Like his whole
- 20:18thing was being stoic. I always felt that he was a vehicle for the
- 20:22writers to world build the whole time from episode one, like it was always
- 20:26like, we ain't up been in this planet before, and here's a silent,
- 20:32stoic guy going to this planet. You ain't never seen us like fight
- 20:34this animal before? Have you here we go with that, and so it
- 20:37always felt like, here's this guy, and I low Keith like. I
- 20:42think part of the reason I really liked this season is that I thought it
- 20:47was a smooth, ambitious way to move off of that character, because I
- 20:52feel like that's a thing they would go back and possibly look at and go,
- 20:56maybe we shouldn't have built a world around a guy that don't hawk,
- 21:00you know what I mean, Like, maybe we messed up. And the
- 21:03Mandalorian culture is so much more richer and deeper, and we put these Mandalorians
- 21:08in all our day Filoni stuff. How are we gonna get off of this
- 21:12guy? And Pedro's obviously working, he don't want to do a job where
- 21:15he's in a helmet the whole time or only doing voice work. How do
- 21:19we get off of him and on to some actual interest in Mandalorian stuff?
- 21:23And I think they found it at the end, even if they kind of
- 21:27took us a tow this route to get there. So do you think that's
- 21:32where they're going like that? I mean, I would honestly love it,
- 21:34you know, if that what the Irish shot was the last time we see
- 21:40them for a while. You know, they're just off on their farm having
- 21:42adventures whenever they need to, and we just don't need to see those adventures.
- 21:45I would love that. I don't think that is the case because grow
- 21:52grew and the grow grew money machine must be fed, and so I just
- 21:56feel that is what they did do an interview where they said the show is
- 22:00now an ensemble show, like it's not just about him, So I respect
- 22:06unless they're gonna start lying, you know, I'm gonna give Feloni to God
- 22:10is due because he's been he's been steadied so far. So I think that's
- 22:15the right decision on the way. I think we've kind of exhausted as much
- 22:18we could get out of the guy in the helmet that we already kind of
- 22:22know its whole deal, like, you know, And I do think they
- 22:26could the way they built him up, they could always do a like drop
- 22:32in type of thing with him and people would be hyped. I would be
- 22:34hyped if you took a few episodes away from them and like did a bunch
- 22:40of other stuff, and then they would drop in every once in a while,
- 22:41I'll be like, oh, that ain't go. Oh that's cute,
- 22:44all right, We'll going back to your hut. You know. That was
- 22:48the other thing. The other thing also is the other thing is um what
- 22:55they did with Bob fact. The problem is they've built out Man's Lauran's story
- 22:59to the point where like Boba Fett is just kind of obsolete, like all
- 23:03the stories that everybody wanted and everybody was yelling about like this isn't when Boba
- 23:07Fett was at like this isn't real, this isn't the story we wanted.
- 23:10I'm like, what's what story? Did you want? That? The real
- 23:12Boba Fet Like he had no screen time in allful movies. This is all
- 23:15of you in your heads thinking about all the stories that he could have had
- 23:18or pulling a little bit from the comics. Yeah, but in terms of
- 23:22in terms of the story, Mando now has it. So I have no
- 23:26idea what they're gonna do with another season. Boba Fet goes to visit Mando.
- 23:33They're not doing another there's no more book Boba fett yea. They definitely
- 23:37canceled it. I've never heard an official but I don't think they will make
- 23:41an official But there ain't no weight. They got a what do you call
- 23:45it coming, you know, a socist comment and then the Alko light.
- 23:48And I've heard no mention throughout this production of you know, of all this
- 23:52that you know they did what it did, and we saw how they had
- 23:55to go back into the Mandalorian already in book a boat, so they already
- 23:59had no much that many, you know, I think that was a bone
- 24:02to throw, you know, after after all those years. Yeah, I
- 24:06think that's why they gave him his show, which I'm happy for. You
- 24:08know, that's great. But man, you can do the sameilar thing with
- 24:11them, drop m episode or two. It'd be great. Yeah, well,
- 24:15we'll love to see him. You know. It's like seeing a family
- 24:18at the family and then go back home, go back to then in your
- 24:23duds on the bikes and ship, trying to see time doing man, right
- 24:27now, no facts, big facts? All right? Well, let me
- 24:32ask that what was who was your let's say, because I wanted to ask,
- 24:36like you know, about people's character arcs. But that was another issue
- 24:40I kind of had with this season. I feel like then Jarn especially has
- 24:44no real arc, Like he starts and ends in the same place that he's
- 24:47been since he met Grogu, Grog's daddy, Like he says it at the
- 24:51end of the season, but he was already Grogu's daddy. I wasn't like,
- 24:55oh, now you're daddy, you know, it's like you've been his
- 24:56daddy. I didn't really get the big feeling about that. But how did
- 25:00you feel about Ben Jarn? How did y'all feel about him? And you
- 25:03know, his storyline this season. I mean, I think you just said
- 25:07it. I think this season should have been called the Mandalorians. That's what
- 25:11it was, I mean honestly, and that the Mandalorians the Bocatan Chronicles,
- 25:19something Bocatan had the arc Bocaton went from, you know, right. Yeah.
- 25:27And also also like what Rod said earlier about that, like with the
- 25:32Mandalorians have them those different factions. I felt the same way. I'm like,
- 25:36this is like African Americans, Caribbeans, Africans, this is like I
- 25:40see this, I see it like this is everything all except everybody having their
- 25:44own beef and their issue. But at the end of the day, Trump,
- 25:48you know what I mean, Yes, you know that's what that was.
- 25:52So yeah, like none, none of us can survive if we don't
- 25:56recognize you know, let's yes, let's revitalize our spirituality, let's connect around
- 26:03the parts of this legacy or or this community that are important to us.
- 26:08But we can't be blind to the larger, looming destruction that's happening in the
- 26:15universe. And I think, like that's a that's probably why I love like
- 26:22Mando mandalorian as as a I guess a theme around storytelling because it tells us
- 26:30about the relationships and the struggles between these people. And then you know,
- 26:33as you're saying, there's there's this larger connectivity happening and the necessity that around
- 26:40survival is collective liberation, and that happens here, I think in this season
- 26:45more than in any other season. Absolutely, And I think the fact that
- 26:53both the Armor and Bokatan are women and they lead this. We know that
- 26:57the Star Wars fandom is no notoriously misogynistic, and I was like that and
- 27:02a lot of us just like the fandom and like the shows in the movies
- 27:06quietly so that we just don't have to fight people online. I spoke with
- 27:08the tons of people who who do this, So I think a lot of
- 27:12the criticism that we hear online isn't even about the larger storyline. It's about
- 27:18the fact they just wanted to see the dude's fight now. But the fighting
- 27:22scenes were really good. Again, um, I agree with Benjamin though this
- 27:30was not Jin Jaron's Mandalorian. The Mandalorian they were talking about this season was
- 27:36both a time Yeah. I didn't care for that. I mean, that
- 27:38didn't bother me one bit. You know, I'm just happy for that.
- 27:41Actually. I just I think like when y'arretis probably in the altist, oh
- 27:45they're unifying and all that, I'm like, wow, that's a great show
- 27:48that I didn't really feel that, you know this like it was. I
- 27:52get like y'all made it better than to me what it was, you know
- 27:56what, the actual realization that might have been their ideas, but the real
- 28:00zation didn't come across like ex yeah, execution wasn't there. I didn't really
- 28:03get that like, oh, wow, all these different cultures who couldn't coexist
- 28:07before are now coming together. It was more just like, ah, you
- 28:11know, well, we ain't got no choice. And also I just could
- 28:14not get over how silly and stupid I felt like the Mandalorians acted throughout this.
- 28:21You know, like every faction of them had some stupid people in them,
- 28:22like when they're sitting there and and and we distressed us before on Fall
- 28:27Nerds. But like the way they're writing around Pedro not being there made them
- 28:34dumber than they need to be. Yeah, because there's two other people in
- 28:37the suit this season, so it's like, what do we need to do
- 28:41where he doesn't have to talk because but beyond that, that's not even that's
- 28:47I'm like what I'm saying. It's like when it makes their culture dumber when
- 28:51they're like we when they're like we eat alone after we just got ate up
- 28:55by a random monster. It made you look like idiots. But they are
- 28:57only doing that because they don't take off the mask because Pedro isn't there.
- 29:02So that's where it's like the culture felt dumber, you know, it did,
- 29:06like especially coming from Rebels and Clone Wars where they have this ill culture.
- 29:10They went through all this stuff with the pacifist side of them and the
- 29:12death fart side of them, and you know, Maul coming through and taking
- 29:18over and just all this ill shit. And now it's like these dudes don't
- 29:21take off their masks and they're idiots. Um Amanda walks dead and dead ass
- 29:26into the water and immediately seeks to the bottom. It's just all these little
- 29:29right but just and I'm like, dude, you're wearing like three hundred pounds
- 29:32of best guard. What did you think was gonna happen? I thought,
- 29:34I thought, wait, I thought the metisaur grabbed him and pulled him down.
- 29:37Oh no, his ass slipped. Maybe I mean, maybe he just
- 29:41drops. Maybe that's once again, you got a better show than I saw,
- 29:45you know, because it was just because Ball was swimming, she was
- 29:51wearing armor. Yeah, I thought that was happening. I thought that's all
- 29:55was happening in their heads. Like a lot of that stuff was not necessarily
- 29:59like actual, like an actual thing that happened, Like when they came out
- 30:03of that water and it wasn't that deep, I was like, oh,
- 30:06they were like, this is like when you didn't when the edible hit Like
- 30:10oh no, no, no, it's say he took And maybe this is
- 30:12because from an island and I'm used to seeing things like this, but when
- 30:17when there's a when there's a cave and there's a deep amount of water but
- 30:19you can't see it. You'll have ridges that are straight and then you just
- 30:23dropped Yep, just walked off the thing and it was really deep. And
- 30:29then when she flew him out and yes, then he landed. I know
- 30:32she's talking about at the beginning when he thought it was deeper, you know.
- 30:33Yeah, and like also that like she saw the mythosaur. He he's
- 30:38like what mythosaur and the mythosaur looked at her like. So the thing for
- 30:42me is like I don't feel like the it was dumbing down up there.
- 30:47Um culture. I think, uh, no offense to everybody, but religion
- 30:52is kind of dumb and they I think Sawar is a very accurate reflection of
- 30:57how like we choose to believe certain things, and it's it's ridiculous on this
- 31:03face to people who don't share it. You know. It's like how people
- 31:06think scientology and morphinism is dumb. But then they'll be like, but the
- 31:11other the old ones are cool, and it's like, yeah, but if
- 31:12you just heard of the old ones, you think they was dumb too.
- 31:15And I feel like everything spaceships and stuff. I don't know, I don't
- 31:21that's you know. I mean I think angels those are aliens, you know,
- 31:26Like I just feel like like it's just all upon your conception of it.
- 31:29And I feel like the factions, you know, because the Blade thing
- 31:33is kind of dumb, you know what I mean, Like whatever got the
- 31:37blade, that's who run And I think, yeah, I think, I
- 31:41mean there's some comparisons with the Jedi, how their ideology when it's so rigid,
- 31:48becomes divisive because it's gets stupid. Like I think there are some parallels
- 31:55here. And I was there was a part of me that was hoping that
- 31:57by episode eight some of the uselessness of this religion would would become a parent,
- 32:05like the veil would come off, the mask would come off, And
- 32:07I thought that's where they're where they were going. When the Armorer had said
- 32:10something to Bocaton about no, you can keep your mask off because you are
- 32:16blending. I kind of love that, like you are your own person in
- 32:22this culture. You are yes, and there's there's you know, as a
- 32:25mixed race person, I immediately took to that, like, okay, we're
- 32:29talking about the border blenders, the cultural blenders, the people who, when
- 32:35they are authentic, can exist in these spaces and actually be the stewarts and
- 32:43be seen by by the members of my different communities. So to me,
- 32:46that was like, that's a great example of that happening. I didn't like,
- 32:51obviously they've written these characters in these rules and there I can change the
- 32:53law overnight. But like, stuff like that just used to not happiness always,
- 32:58you know what I mean. It's like, no, George didn't say
- 33:00you could do that. I love that they were like, na, man,
- 33:02this is kind of stupid, right, like and by the end and
- 33:06like, I don't know, I felt a connection in the idea of them
- 33:09saying like we're all together, and at the end when they're like flying before
- 33:15they fly into the battle, and like some of the men got the helmets,
- 33:19some of them do, someonem believing the blade, some of them don't.
- 33:22I love that shit. I was just like, yes, let's all
- 33:24go kick ass together, because it's like a hopeful moment to me of shared
- 33:31a shared struggle, bringing everyone together. And so to me that was dope.
- 33:36But once again, I don't I don't even like disagree with then that
- 33:42you could spend a little more time in it, and I think, you
- 33:45know, instead of like the cop episode or whatever, if you just spent
- 33:50time with the factions like hashing it out. I feel like the when you
- 33:55come together at the end, it feels stronger than people with like oh wow,
- 34:00they really worked through some things to get to this battle, as opposed
- 34:02to just like it's a convenient moment of like we just got to finish this
- 34:07episode. They we got her up. That was that. There it is,
- 34:10and you said everything I need to say about it, because like it
- 34:14wasn't that. I didn't see that because, like I said, when both
- 34:16first met him, it was like, oh, you're one of those I
- 34:19was like, yes, they're doing what I've been saying for the last season
- 34:22of the half, you know, because I've watched Rebels and they never talked
- 34:25about these niggas who didn't take their mask d off. So it's like for
- 34:30this something to be a theme because Pedro's ear, I'm like, no,
- 34:32you're gonna have to explain this felony. I like, I like when she
- 34:36came out of the cave with no mask and and that Hayte and as dude
- 34:39was like why she ain't got well mad. First he said, He's like,
- 34:44but she's removed her homeca my man's mad, hot dog? Yeah?
- 34:49Who was that pause? Yes, yeah, I loved I love daddy pause
- 34:53so much. Daddy pose was also like it was a problem though, the
- 34:58worst father ever, terrible. Watch your kid? Why watch your kids?
- 35:05Watch your child? The thing as a kid. And my man said this
- 35:08happens all the time. Wait my question. When he said that happens all
- 35:16the time, I was like, this is why there's no children here.
- 35:20You getting eaten? And then also also where are the mothers of these children?
- 35:24I kept thinking that we were gonna find out that the armorer was this
- 35:27child's mother, and they were I thought I heard a couple of feminine voices.
- 35:36There was no mother running forward like oh my god, my baby.
- 35:40I like, I like, uh, that one, it felt like he
- 35:44gave up on getting his own kid back, like he was really like then
- 35:49you kind of pressed, like you really you really want to find this kid?
- 35:52I was like, this is your baby, right? I was no,
- 35:54no, no, you're so right, because at one point I was
- 35:57confused. It's like maybe I'm looking at the wrong men to learn maybe that's
- 36:00not his child. His attitude No, he was the only bulky ass.
- 36:08He was the only prest sized bandough and then the last thing before they you
- 36:13know, saved his kids. He referred to his own kid as the foundling.
- 36:17Yeah, bro, what are you doing? Look, look, religion
- 36:22is strong in this one. You know what I mean? He really,
- 36:27Yeah, they're serving a higher power. They're not serving their own family.
- 36:30He was like, if my kid can't fight off a dragon, and what
- 36:31good is it? You know, remember that what you just mentioned the scientologies.
- 36:36Don't they not believe in doctors or something like So it's like, oh,
- 36:38well, if it's gonna take him, it's gonna take them. Yeah,
- 36:44but this is the way. Did you find another beach that doesn't have
- 36:47a giant you know? Thank thang in the middle of the thank you?
- 36:52Also, if you do have if this has happened before, and this has
- 36:55happened before, ye, I'm thinking that you choose another hold to baptize his
- 37:00child. Yeah. But even in the episode eight, they're doing the baptism,
- 37:06and again they choose a place that has a giant beast in the depths
- 37:09of the water, Like did you not learn I will say these baptisms on
- 37:15right by these beasts is a really bad idea. I will say this though,
- 37:19completely explains why the Mandalorians are a problem. Completely, That's what I
- 37:23mean. You ain't never got to tell. Like I remember during rebels being
- 37:27like, why are they so damn pressed about these Mandalorians? They struggling to
- 37:31get ten people together? Why y'all? Who cares? Now? I'm like,
- 37:35oh, yeah, ten Mandalorians. They take out a battalion, dog,
- 37:37y'all got to blow that planet back up its survival the damn fitniss that's
- 37:42the thing, Like, they don't give a damn Like, if your kid
- 37:44can't fight off a dragon, he worthless? He did? You know?
- 37:46Kid? Who can? They were flying and a tide woke up while they
- 37:51were flying over the planet. I was like, that's new exactly, and
- 37:54I'm hungry, and we still want to stay here. Not one man Delaurian
- 37:59turned Aroun I like, why why don't we just go to Tattooine. That's
- 38:01just as ghetto is. The way this is. It is that eight we
- 38:08live in the hardest planet in the universe, goes down. It might be
- 38:13this might be the last generation, but this is the way we gonna We're
- 38:15gonna make a work on this planet right here? Boy, that is you
- 38:19know they they just don't. That's what I went right into the show.
- 38:22One Mandalorian that's a little bit scared, like just every once in a while
- 38:25just being like, man, y'all sure, but we keep one last thing
- 38:30on the on the Mandalorian's bad decisions, like when they run into the you
- 38:32know, struggle Mandos who have been there on the planet forever, looking like
- 38:37Pirates and the Caribbean or some shit. Wait, does anybody remember the movie
- 38:39Ice Pirates? But that's what a fly flew through my mom when I saw
- 38:43it. I don't remember that. Oh man, it's an eighties joint.
- 38:45It's it's so like it popped in my head. And Ice Pirates is one
- 38:49of them movies. It was probably a way too adult for me as a
- 38:52kid, you know, because there's a wild shit in that movie. I
- 38:55won't spoil it. I need to see it again. But anyway, there
- 39:00on the ship, they see this giant monster pop up out of the ice
- 39:04in front of them, and they just fly right at it. And that's
- 39:07how you said, right like that, Okay, now right, I'm going
- 39:10with your head cannon that this is why they're so hard because they're just like,
- 39:15fuck it every time, you know, you die, dog, Like,
- 39:20I see why the Empire was like, we have to take them out
- 39:22first, then we could take over the galaxy. I've always been perplexed by
- 39:27that until this season. A man, though, now I'm like, yep,
- 39:30yep, they're doing too much. And they didn't galaxy with these people
- 39:34in it nothing. Dog. They flew that ship right at that monster.
- 39:37I gotta I gotta say that I did. The only time I feared for
- 39:40Boca's Hand's life was when she sat there and told them like, oh my
- 39:46god, you stayed here all this time waiting for me, and I left
- 39:52you. I sold the sword. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I
- 39:57was like, he gonna sab her. That's the first thing he said to
- 40:00them, was like, y'all got food first things. And she told him
- 40:06the whole truth in his face, and he was like he's just looking for
- 40:08food, right. And the younger had the younger white dude that was one
- 40:13of them was skinny, like, I don't know what to do. I
- 40:15don't know my life visit anymore, for he was on walking dead. You
- 40:17know, he looks he looked like he looked like he was. He looks
- 40:22struggle, all right. So we talked about the Mandalorians, you know,
- 40:28and all of them mainly for this season. Ah well, let me ask
- 40:31this, like, have y'all Are y'all tired of the grow goug money machine
- 40:36at this point? Or is Grogus still the cutest little thing in the world.
- 40:38To y'all, Grog's still the cutest thing in the world. Say,
- 40:42I will not tolerate any Grog's slim They'll try again. Okay, I'm tired
- 40:46of Grogu. I this is a safe space for me. I'll say,
- 40:51okay, okay, I love Grogu and I I would love and I if
- 40:57there's Grogu cameos in the upcoming shows, I will celebrate the I think that
- 41:04the jumping around and giggling and the weirdness of it, it just seems absurd.
- 41:10I'm trying to make sense of Grogu's lens in this like bigger thing that's
- 41:15going on in this bigger story. So fifty two year old baby, yeah,
- 41:22when he got into I, well, I g twelve. So when
- 41:25he was in I'm just like, I'm not high, but I feel like
- 41:30I'm high right now. Like what what is he? What are we doing?
- 41:38Is probably the most George Lucias thing about this whole series, because you
- 41:45know George Lucas, as much as he's built this lord, it's very quick
- 41:49to be like, let's put some adorable care bears in it and give them
- 41:52steaks, and you're like, bro, we're in the third act. This
- 41:57this is everything. He's like, yeah, but let's take a little time
- 41:59on this, on this moon and like, watch these little guys. They're
- 42:01they're cute at grogu is just I want to hate myself for loving how much
- 42:07I love Grog, Like I want like i'd be like, this is a
- 42:12disgusting cash graph, take my money, but this is I'm very disappointed in
- 42:16myself. Well, he jumped in Lizzo's arms. I was like, yeah,
- 42:22I got up and left. I say, Grog no good people.
- 42:27He no, he can feel it. That episode totally felt like I don't
- 42:32know, I mean, I know many of the listeners watch anime, but
- 42:35that episode Yea, Lizzo and Jack Black, that was a classic anime filler
- 42:42episode. It was literally from beginning to end, you even how they laid
- 42:46it out. I'm like, beat from beat this is somebody watches anima.
- 42:50It was like Naruto talking to that, Yes, why are we doing this?
- 42:55Leach all of a sudden, going back to high school. When you
- 42:58forget that he's day will you watch like a filler episode of anime and you
- 43:05kind of get mad at yourself because it worked. That's how it feel when
- 43:07this girl group. For me, I'm like, this is filler. They
- 43:10didn't even really put a show together. Oh look at them, listen,
- 43:15listen. I was when I tell you the episode that I'm at Best showed
- 43:20up as Calorie. I bawled my eyes also because I know what I'm at
- 43:27best, Like, I bawled my eyes out, and then thinking of the
- 43:30trauma, and then you know what, it's crazy people are online. We're
- 43:34like, you know what we need? We need a whole series of the
- 43:37kids and what they went through. I'm like, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
- 43:44Yeah, that's what I said. You had a whole season of adults
- 43:49or people going into schools and killing children. I'm like, that's called Tuesday.
- 43:54Second. No, no, But like I did like the moment though
- 44:00that we under because you know, he's got some trauma in there, because
- 44:04he's more powerful than he realizes, but he doesn't want to use it because
- 44:07of what he saw. So I think and they addressed that last season,
- 44:10but that episode I was absolutely in my fields and then I was like,
- 44:14why am I crying? He's not real what am I doing? The thing?
- 44:19The thing is too with them decided not to go like CGI. Sometimes
- 44:23it just feels like such a throwback to like you just Crystal, Like there's
- 44:30serious, very dark drama having a room over from this kid and no,
- 44:37no no, and the finale when they all slide that little Si yes.
- 44:44And when they go with the finale when the kid, the first kid is
- 44:51is you know, doing the whole like um oath and they get the girl
- 44:54cu and it's like you do the old things like come we were just crying
- 45:01over this kid's dead daddy. But I do agree with doctor Drea said in
- 45:07that I don't want to necessarily see him in the same thing again. For
- 45:15instance, he grows very slow. Got that so does Grout. So but
- 45:22we see group as a teenager like Group died in like the first movie.
- 45:24Now we see Groot as you know, a teenager treat tree. I guess.
- 45:30So if they can't do it as a series, I would like to
- 45:34see it as like maybe an animated series. I was hoping to see an
- 45:38older gro guh coming up in Visions, Star Wars, Star Wars Visions and
- 45:44Serious season two. I don't think we're gonna get that though, but I
- 45:47would love to see like a teenage grow group, which means he's a hundred
- 45:54or one hundred and fifty. They couldn't do something like that right, like
- 45:58they could do a time skip they wanted to. I would be more interested
- 46:01in seeing that, and maybe maybe it's animated so we don't have to worry
- 46:05about putting somebody in a suit and having a charge our bank situation. But
- 46:08like maybe we can maybe we can do that, um, because I do
- 46:13agree that it's kind of him as a baby and not talking. I thought
- 46:16he was gonna baby, was gonna say his first words at the right,
- 46:20and I was to say daddy or something. I mean, if we like
- 46:25to see some growth, for sure, I mean, I mean, I
- 46:29definitely would like to see that. But I was hoping that we would see
- 46:35some type, some type of connection with the Dark Sword because the original holder
- 46:39was both Jedi and Mandalorian, and so is Grogu. So I was hoping
- 46:44to see some type of connection, but also for them maybe to for us
- 46:49to see more of how he how he survived for as long as he did.
- 46:52Because when I was watching watching the episode where he's having the flashback,
- 46:57I realized that when all that was happening, he was about thirty years old.
- 47:00Yeah, it's like twenty years roughly later, So well, what were
- 47:06you doing in that time? Got not that they have to show us everything,
- 47:08but I'm sure he was. He was being pushed and pulled a smuggle
- 47:12different places and drink or something. So I definitely wanted to see more,
- 47:22Like, if you're gonna have him there, yes, I love him,
- 47:24he's cute. Give hims. I mean, gimme, gimme, gimme Glogu.
- 47:28But but if you're gonna have him there, let there be some girth,
- 47:31like give us, give us the meat. Where's the meat? Where's
- 47:35where it? Can? I also say, you know, before I get
- 47:37the emails and folks being upset that I said I had Grogu fatigue, I
- 47:45will say that Grogu's connection to creatures and beasts and something about Grogu's attunement to
- 47:54the mythosaur. Grogu could basically communicate with the mythosaur uh you know from land,
- 48:00and so I think I think that that part of of Grogo psychology is
- 48:07really fascinating, and I kind of want to know where that's going, and
- 48:09I'd be willing to to see. I want more of that and less of
- 48:14the the Google Giggli that yes around jumping around when you're fighting three of the
- 48:22most dangerous dark Trooper where the pretariat guards it is waddling away alright, Like
- 48:30his little flips are adorable. No, no, okay, that's someone that
- 48:37goes back to never a fan of that Yoda flipping is like I was never
- 48:43a fan of it, and seeing Grogul do it, it's just the same
- 48:45thing. I was never a fan of the Yoda flipping, honestly, I
- 48:49thought I was overrated. But adorable flips are different. Dog Is emails too,
- 49:00email bring a video of been, I mean on a plane man complaining
- 49:05about a baby like you don't like little baby quickly Wow, he went to
- 49:14the tape. Look it up, y'all you on Southwest iow on Southwestern h
- 49:23But now, look like my problem is with grog And it's a lot of
- 49:25things with this show, like I feel like Feloni is the master of you
- 49:30know, bringing in all these references and stuff, and with this show,
- 49:32I feel like I don't know if it's him or just editorial concerns or whatever,
- 49:37but I feel like somebody's thrown to the side, like Lucas, like
- 49:39fuck it, take this kid, and that's wild after everything Luke has been
- 49:45through with it system with Luke up. It's procting system with Luke sucking up.
- 49:51But it's not a system with the image that people have of Luke,
- 49:54you know, and the idea of Luke Luke is the Goku of the Star
- 49:58Wars universe. Sorry, everybody's swears he's this incredible Y'll take him. Nobody's
- 50:04kids, he don't take care. He tried to get with his sister,
- 50:10so I fully agree. But like the image people have of him, it's
- 50:14not that. So they just like, you know, this kid has Jedi
- 50:17powers and I'm just trying to let him out into the world. But you
- 50:21got a new image of him now, man, it's him being like,
- 50:22oh there's your lightsaber. Yeah, I get it, and that I love
- 50:27of Luke. You know, this goes along with that loop. But I
- 50:30know a lot of people are like, oh, that's not you know,
- 50:32like, oh, that's always been by Loup, you know a little.
- 50:35But the money, they had to find a device. They had to find
- 50:39a device to get him out of her. That's CG. I mean.
- 50:43Granted in two years that CG we will all have on our phones that take
- 50:46CG I mean AI technology. But I don't think that the budget was there,
- 50:52not for a series. But don't let him stay there. The other
- 50:55problem is if he stayed with Luke, he gets murdered. You know,
- 50:59you got remember that other thing, you know, all them kids get killed,
- 51:01yeah, because Luke so alright, alright, but then my other side,
- 51:07the other you know, big you know, the lore is the dart
- 51:09saber, right, the dart Saber gets crushed at the end of this ship
- 51:14and that's it, you know. And we spent like three shows on this
- 51:17whole. We didn't see the crystal break, we the health break. And
- 51:25they could give them something to do. Season three or season four is a
- 51:30thing for not not gent not then jarring to do, but something for both,
- 51:37which I will be interested in. And like, I think part of
- 51:39the reason the Grogo thing doesn't really bother me is because my heart of Heart.
- 51:43So I'm like, we're just not gonna see that. We're not gonna
- 51:45see them a lot after this. I really think they're moving on from now
- 51:49because they're gonna put a lot into Ahsoka, and they seem to be putting
- 51:53everything and everybody into what's the one with carry on Moss that's coming? Oh
- 52:01yeah, so yeah, I think we offer this these I think we're done.
- 52:07Um, but I go ahead. No, no, so no.
- 52:12All I was gonna say, was I the the Grogu. I do agree
- 52:15that the Grogu love and and the Grogu fandom is probably almost run its course.
- 52:22But I think they're definitely gonna pull it out every holiday season, Like
- 52:27doctor Who just gonna be a Grogu holiday special. Gro Group. It's gonna
- 52:36be so upset, but it's gonna work on meat Grog Christmas. Who is
- 52:45listen kans a special? It's amazing. Wait, what does Tobacca have life?
- 52:57They write? Isn't a life? They? I think that's yes,
- 53:00life day, Yes, Grogu's life. Grog learns about life day. Yeah,
- 53:04that's coming coming soon to Disney Plus. And then they'll introduce a little
- 53:07baby Chewbacca and the money train he was rolling in. All right, I
- 53:12think that's about it. I do want to ask y'all, um, like
- 53:14one last thing, what are y'all looking for in I mean, I think
- 53:17we've already said not Den Jarring in future seasons of the Manyloian. And are
- 53:23you hype for Ahsoka and the Alkali? Oh? Yeah, yeah, I'm
- 53:30I'm definitely hyped. I do have one thing that I hope gets just wrapped
- 53:34up for mental arngs just be a lot of question questions about like the naming
- 53:38system, because everybody thought din was didn't Jaron's first name, And now if
- 53:45grog is didn't Grogus, that means Den is his last name. So is
- 53:49it like an Asian system where the family name comes first? When did that
- 53:53like clay increase? It's right? So how I that is one thing that
- 54:00I hope, in some way shape or for him gets answered because I have
- 54:04questions that should just sounded better, that's all, Like, then gro group
- 54:07sounds better than grog JJ, you know, Like that's a hard one to
- 54:12say, so I think that's why they went that way. But yeah,
- 54:14it gets messed up right now because it's playing crease and not playing bothat on
- 54:17right. Yeah, unless he got a whole other name, Like there's some
- 54:22other name in front that we don't know yet. That's what I'm saying.
- 54:23He got a whole other family logan or its gross name, the one that's
- 54:30like that, you know, because oh, you know, like Yoda.
- 54:37The way this is. I think the wild part about that finding out that
- 54:39Yoda basically got a speech impediment like that. We don't know that yet.
- 54:47Visions, envisions, we see, envisions, we see them. What's her
- 54:52name, Yodel. She don't talk like him. No, that's true,
- 54:59that's true. So I think my man might have a little something. I
- 55:05think there was a lot of drinking with him too, was like or or
- 55:09here's the other thing. Maybe they speak a certain way for a certain amount
- 55:14of time. How old was Yoda woman? I think you might be.
- 55:21I think he might be flipping some prepositions if you live. I know what
- 55:24it is. I don't know he's saying he got that Joe Biden or something.
- 55:28I don't know what, you know what, I don't know. I
- 55:32will say this though we didn't get to talk about it, but I love
- 55:37he loved um gideons like that was so fucking good because all these people have
- 55:46been like, yeah, he trying to bring back Palpatine, and I was
- 55:51like, bro something about him too sleep for that. He he wouldn't just
- 55:54be so subservient to this dude. And when he's in that meeting and he's
- 55:59just riding down on his fellow, like he's just like, yeah, broke
- 56:02busted just because I don't take no or y'all trying to bring palper team back?
- 56:07Is he even a lot? Like who cares about that? And when
- 56:10you find out his grand plan was getting some of that like for sensitive like
- 56:16DNA up in his claws, Yeah, that was a scheme worth work a
- 56:21village. That's a villain with a dope scheme and his suit and with like
- 56:25he was a problem in that suit man and he had. Carlo Esposito is
- 56:31the best bad guy no matter what period. I loved him. He had
- 56:37plans Like That's what I'll be asking for with these villains. Yes, because
- 56:42too often in these in the like no offense to the Star Wars universe,
- 56:45but too often the villains are so fucking simplistic. It's like there can only
- 56:50be two and then they go recruit a third and guess what that means?
- 56:52One of us gotta die. We hate each other? Yeah too week did
- 56:59y'all think that the the the one that died in the explosion was one of
- 57:06his clones. I think he had a mustache. Yeah, se had a
- 57:09mustache. His face was different. I thought everybody in there were his like
- 57:13clones of himself. And he said, you've killed my children, and I
- 57:17thought they were all him. So he was like this huge nancissistic dude.
- 57:21Yes, do you think that this is not the end of Moth Gideon?
- 57:24I wouldn't you think there's gonna be a clone of Escapes? Anytime you had
- 57:29Todce clones dog, you got to throw that out there because you know,
- 57:32clones defeat the nobody no death rule because you could literally see a body and
- 57:37be like that ain't the right body. Bro. Yeah, but here's the
- 57:38think that'd be amazing because that means back and possibly for sensitive Jen Carlo,
- 57:45because regular Gen Carlo was a problem. Just he's seen the best guard armors,
- 57:50like y'all got laser proof armor and were just not harnessing this. We're
- 57:53not everybody just we just out here fighting in this fucking uh goodwill armor we
- 58:00keep getting shot and killed. This is stupid, Like he was a problem.
- 58:04He should have been in charge. That's why the Empire always lose.
- 58:07He should have been in charge because he's he was thinking. But yeah,
- 58:10anyway, I loved him that I think that the I doubt this is what
- 58:15happened, But my fantasy is that he succeeded. And so his clone or
- 58:22his the version of him that's even more superpowered than the one we saw in
- 58:25episode eight, was like on a whole different planet while all this was happening,
- 58:30and he's going to re emerge and be a villain somewhere. Yeah,
- 58:35but this has to line up with Thrown, and I'm I don't know how.
- 58:38Yeah. Yeah, I'm very excited for Thron to see and the fact
- 58:44that it's the same voice hearing. Yeah, I'm very excited for that.
- 58:49All right, all right, I think we're good here. Um everyone,
- 58:52you know once again, in order that we introduce everyone, please, you
- 58:55know, let the people know where they can find you, add and all
- 58:58that good stuff. Sorry, we didn't ask for I got lost in the
- 59:01question because we got we started switching. We needed to talk about her.
- 59:08Yeah, I'm just looking forward to whatever comes out. I'm looking forward to
- 59:12Ahsoka and I'm looking forward to the Acolyte. It was Accolyte or it is
- 59:15the It. I'm looking forward to seeing both. And I'm hoping that they
- 59:22messed up the and door all to say it like that. Yeah, I
- 59:25don't think that's it. And I don't think everything needs to be and Or.
- 59:29You know, I think the Mandalorian can be good as this, you
- 59:31know, Adventure of the Week show. And I think when you read Pokatan
- 59:37and you need a little bit more death because she already had so much death.
- 59:39But I enjoyed it not being and Or. I would just needed to
- 59:43tighten up a little bit. You know. The episode with Doctor Person felt
- 59:45like an and Or episode, but light, Yeah, but very light.
- 59:51I mean you didn't get you didn't get one of them speeches. You know.
- 59:52That's what or I had me is every episode somebody was like story out
- 1:00:00of nowhere. You know what I'm saying, like, oh you think something.
- 1:00:02I'm like, oh shit. When when my man be too Emo said
- 1:00:07I don't want home on Marvel, I almost got damn lost it, Like
- 1:00:10yeah, you just sucking droid giving me a speech like so our five didn't
- 1:00:19didn't quite give you that, no, because because I can't understand man,
- 1:00:22those racism and the non racism, and like he hates droids one second and
- 1:00:27then like kick him and punch him and one hey buddy, you know like
- 1:00:32I was. He was. He was consistent with our five because our five
- 1:00:36was scared, like, hey man, you're sure you like I don't even
- 1:00:38I can't even understand you right now, just going in there. I'm like,
- 1:00:42bro, what how do you understand? Everything else? He said,
- 1:00:44except the part where he was scared. I don't think I think our five.
- 1:00:49I don't think our five wanted to be there. That was not He's
- 1:00:54the same Joy. He's the same droid that blew his motor functions not to
- 1:00:59go with looke like he had powered Joy. He's just that because he knew
- 1:01:04our two at the plans. A whole story about that, right, there's
- 1:01:08a whole story about R five and how he knew it R two at the
- 1:01:12plans and that's why he did that ship and jar Jar Binks was a Siffloord.
- 1:01:15Listen, I respect I respect R five because I because I identified the
- 1:01:20most with R five out of any character, because they be just doing stuff
- 1:01:23in this show, like it's not scary like our five, Like he's like
- 1:01:29get out and standing the cave. You sure? My thing is when when
- 1:01:32when everybody talks a mando like talk for you to have some more adventures and
- 1:01:36Groger's not like, yo, what the fun from? He about it?
- 1:01:43Loki grog grogu about it because he got the ford our five and at our
- 1:01:49five got a stun gun. Like you can't send this man into a cave
