  Speaker 1: The Force will be with you always.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Hello, everyone, Welcome back to another episode of Star Wars.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Lion's your home on the Geek Ultimate, a Lance podcast
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: network for any and a Star Wars. I'm your host
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: as always, Katie, and things right now are super chaotic,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: but I'm joined by the ever present Clay. Clay, how
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: are you doing today?
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: I am doing good. I'm like still trying to decide
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: where i want my stream yard like layout because this
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: is the first time in a very long time that
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: I've actually been able to like move things around. And
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: I think this is I think this from from where
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: I am sitting to where my camera is to where
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: I'm looking at you, because if I were to have
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: it where I used to have it, I'd be looking
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: like this completely away from camera. So I think this
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: works out pretty well. I'm doing good. As I told you,
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: I am currently sitting in a room that is just
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: under a thousand degrees there. There is, guys, there is
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: a reason why I left Texas and it's it's really sad.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: And I don't know if I know. My mother never
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: listens to my podcasts, but Abby and I were talking
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: the other day and she's like, Clay, I know, I
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: complained a lot about missing Texas. I miss Indiana. And
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: it's been a week. It's literally been a little more
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: than a week. And I think, uh, I when when
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: we when we had said, like, hey, Max, two years,
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: I don't think we're gonna make two years. It's it's
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: like my I was just not born for Texas. I
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: don't know. I mean, I was literally born in Tennessee,
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: but I was not born for Texas. And I don't know.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: But uh, but it's it's it's been a week. It's
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: been a week.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I really very hard. I had to drive back to
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Greenville today for an appointment because there's just no good
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: neurologists in Colombia. So I am keeping my current neurologist
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: because we have a good treatment plan and everything. But
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: like I spent fifty dollars in gas today, Like.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: So I have. I refuse to fill up on gas here,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: which is crazy to think about because when we left
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: to go to Indiana, Texas was cheaper than Indiana. Coming
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: back Texas is more expensive than in Oh wow, which
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: is crazy. It's crazy to think about that. But like
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: we are, we've ran out. We haven't run out of gas,
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: but we've gotten really low on gas, and I just like,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: go to a gas station. I put ten to fifteen
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: dollars in and I'm like, we're just gonna try and
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: stay on this side of town and we're not going
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: to go anywhere, all right. Yeah, if we go anywhere far,
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: we're just gonna ride with my parents and we're just
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: going to have to deal with the fact that we're
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: stuck wherever we're going to be until they're done. But yeah,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: it's it's it's crazy, but there there is a little
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: bit of a life update from us guys. We do
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: have a little bit of news. Nothing, nothing too crazy
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: when it comes to just Star Wars in general. The
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: biggest thing, and I think we're gonna lead with this,
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: there was a headline over at comicbook dot com saying
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Ray's new Jedi order finally arrives in Star Wars' next movie,
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: according to major new reports. My big thing though, is
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: this headline is misleading.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Very misleading, because like I read the article, but then
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: we talked about it two days later and I'm like, oh, yeah,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: like the movie's finally moving forward. Great going off the
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: headline because I exactly wiped everything out.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: People will see this headline and completely just think of
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: the Ray Skywalker movie. The article is specifically talking about Starfighter. Now,
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: there is no like con firmed reports. Of course, this
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: is just a rumor stating that the New Jedi Order
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: is a part of this movie's plot. And we have
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: had We've already heard these rumors. This is kind of
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: just doubling down on them. And when we first reported
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: about this, and it seems to still be along that path.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Is the rumor is along with the plot that Ryan
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Gosling's character will be taking Flynn's character or Flynn is
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: the character, Yeah, but Gray is the is the actor,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: Gray's character the child to a quote unquote Jedi planet
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: where we will be introduced to raise New Jedi Order. Now,
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: I I thought, question Mark, well, we didn't get into
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: that deep of a discussion when I when I talked
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: about it on the gig First discord. But my one
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: comment towards this, and I like, I doubt that it
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: is because the rumors were even prior to the Mandalorian
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Grogu movie debuting at all. But I did say, I
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: really hope this isn't a a rushed course correction due
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: to the Mando box office I because because we all
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: know what that can mean. It can mean like, hey,
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: regardless of what this movie was going to be, we
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: need to force this into hear and hype it up
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: so that way people hopefully watch our movie, and then
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: it just like kind of just ruins the movie. We've
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: seen that happen before. I don't think this is the
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: case because, like I said, prior, these rumors were already circulating, circulating.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Very much circulator. We've talked about it before. And how like,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: like we know, like Tom Cruise shot a lightsaber fight.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you're doing a lightsaber fight, doesn't it
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: kind of make sense that the New Jedi Order would
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: be involved in some way, shape or form. And yes,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: do we know that other characters use lightsabers and it
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: doesn't necessarily just have to be Jedi and Sith. Sure,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: but good Guy tends to be the Jedi that has
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: a lightsaber, so that would make the most sense for
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: a fight.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: And also with this article does point out that I
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: never really like questioned more so because I have no
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: legitimate past with this character, Like I have no experience
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: with this character. Katie, you may know what the article
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: is talking about, but it says here. According to the
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: reports Starfighter. In Star Wars Starfighter excuse me, Ryan Gosling
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: will play Cad, who is described as a Han solo
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: pirate rogue like character and is possibly a canonized riff
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: of a famous Star Wars Legends character, Cad being Caid
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Skye Caid Skywalker. Now it does stay here, so that.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: For reference, Caid Skywalker is like one hundred and fifty
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: years past Luke Skywalker and like the same generation, decided
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: to decline his Jedi heritage as the last I believe
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: it's like the last remaining survivor of the Skywalker line.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: The Sith have taken over the galaxy, like to the
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: point they have a ruling system, a ruling government on
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Corsant and everything like, so that that's who you're kind
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: of looking at. I don't know a ton about him
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: because Star Wars Legacy was only comics based, yes, and
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: I wasn't. I never really read the Star Wars comics
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: in like.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: I have only seen like maybe three or four panels
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: of this character. He very much looks like a h
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: in Layman's terms, like a bum. Like he is just
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: like a like very much. So he's very scraggly, he
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: has a long trench coat, he has very messy hair,
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: and one of the panels that I have seen is
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: a forced ghost loose Skywalker basically saying like why did
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: you renounce the name of Skywalker? And like, hey, you
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: like you could be so much more Like so I
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: get the premise of who Kate is supposed to be.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: I believe it is in a separate article from Comic
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: book dot com because there is a hyperlink. When this
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: particular article starts talking about this latest rumor or this
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: you know, updated latest rumor, it does talk about who
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: kid Skywalker is and they're like, oh, coincidentally, paid and
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Ryan Gosling kind of look the same. I don't necessarily.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: What is he supposed to be? Luke Skywalker's bastard?
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: Well, so that's the thing. In this article, it does
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: state that, like in the current Star Wars timeline, there's
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: not really any room to suggest that Luke had a
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: bastardized child, you.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Know, And I say bastard, guys, I'm not saying that
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: negatively basically, but basically.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: The actual definition of.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: His baby Mama didn't tell him exactly.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, guys, I will tell you right now. These two
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: people if you are looking on YouTube right now, look
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: nothing alike. I'm sorry, they're like, oh they look they
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: look similar. They both have one hair. That is it.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: There is no and like.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: The goates kind to match, but like.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Really but yeah, like I don't believe that they will
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: go as far as to say, like in like actual canon,
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: like hey, like this will end up being a skywalker
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: because if they do, I might throw my popcorn at
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: the screen. Yeah.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't necessarily pitch a fit about raised Jedi order
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: being in Starfighter because, like I said, I don't think
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: it's a course correction from mand learning Grogu. I think
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: the course correction would be claiming he's a skywalker and
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: like reshoots involving that.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: I would be so pissed, like genuinely, only because like,
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: you can't tell me or at least tease me there's
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: a possibility of Ray being in this movie just to
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: then say like, hey, I'm actually like your like.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Adopted sister.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: Uh yeah, like, because then every single person and their
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: mother will then say, hey, forget about any plans you
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: had about Ray. I want more Ryan Gosling sky.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Skywalker exactly exactly, and yeah, we don't. We don't need that.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: So and now that this is out there, it's gonna
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: get picked up by grifters and people are going to
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: be saying it. So we're just gonna have to accept
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: that people are gonna be like, oh, they're going to
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: replace Ray with Ryan Gosling. So we're just gonna have
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: to push past that and hope that lucasfilm isn't that dumb.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: I I, like I said, I don't think they would be.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: I think that it will like I say that, but
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's just disgusts me to kind of think about, like, hey,
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: you know, we we just we just go along with grifters,
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: and we just we we go along with the minority
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: instead of the majority. You know, Like that's how things
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: work in the United States these days, and it's it's
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: just said, but that's that's the biggest thing to come
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: out of the news this week. Nothing else has dropped
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: dramatically or anything else. Just so that way you guys
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: are aware, we will not have a live review of
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: Star Wars Legacy, which does come out next week, comes.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Out in two weeks. It comes out on the twenty eighth.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: The embargo is up next week.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, correct, correct, correct, It comes out in two weeks.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: Embargo is next week. We will already record. We will
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: be recording our Star Wars Legacy review actually this weekend,
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: and we will be posting it on that embargo date,
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: so that way you know it's out there and we
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: will remind you once the actual official release is out
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: to go back and listen. If not repost it and
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: shared on social media and whatnot. So yeah, other than that,
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: before we get onto our main time topic, which is
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: Doctor Afra the two thousand and twenty five run, which
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: is only a small five issue run, we will be
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: talking about what we got earlier, uh last week? Was
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: it earlier last week or is it early early?
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Earlier or late last week?
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: Late last week we got not only a poster, but
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: we got a trailer for the ninth Jedi. O Katie,
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: I shared this with you, and your reaction to me
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: sharing this to you was hmmm, So I need to
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: know what were your initial thoughts on this trailer.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: I thought they were going to go more creative with
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: the storytelling, okay, I versus an original trilogy rewrite kind
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: of feel is what I feel from this?
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Mm hmm and obviously that can be wrong, but that
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: when you say original trilogy, I think you really mean
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: the Star Wars go to of World Killer. That is like,
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: because everything else is I would say kind of original.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna say that they have not created an
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: original story. We see, uh, you know, a full band
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: of heroes on quotations because there is a there's a
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: little bit of a twist that comes along with the trailer.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: But we have our band of quote unquote heroes and
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: there is a uh, a masked villain just like every
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: other That's more.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: What I meant by like the masked villain, Okay, feels
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: it feels like we've got the bar the original trilogy aspect.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: There there is a word world killer. I do see that.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Sorry guys, again, it's been chaotic. I've got a plan now, uh,
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: but the kyber crystal making the weapon, it just feels
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: very rewriting. And I know that that like that they
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: wanted these studios to be able to do this, But
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: I really thought what we had with the first two
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: episodes of The Ninth Jedi was super original storytelling, like
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: brand new chapter kind of feeling. And it feels very
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: re ready here and not necessarily original.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: So I will say this, I do feel that with
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: this trailer, the plot is lost. And when I say that,
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: the plot of the first two episodes in Envisions season one,
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: Vision season three is all about our main character Kyrie
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: and her father. Right, is her name Kyrie Kara Kara?
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: Sorry I knew it started with a k Kara's father
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: being this lightsaber forger, right, And I don't even know.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: I think we see him once in this entire trailer, Yeah.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Because there's still that focus of Okay, she wants to
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: get her father back. But I feel like it's just
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: kind of like Luke, like he was recruited very randomly apparently,
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: but he was actually like meant.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: To be Holy shit, hold on, is this is this
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: a new hope in Rogue one put together?
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: That's what I kind of feel like.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: Oh I just thought about that because of of uh
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: Ursa's father, uh.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Huh oh no, And that's just it just it feels
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: like we're just retranslating, rewriting some things. I'm not gonna
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: say retranslating. I'm still excited for it, but this trailer
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: death let me feel a net and especially with the
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: fact that this this premiere is all at once on
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: August fifth. It's not encouraging in that sort of way.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: Well, that's what I also wanted to talk to you about.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: At the end of this trailer, it says Star Wars
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: Vision presents the ninth Jedi streaming August fifth. It just
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: says streaming August fifth.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: No, it is confirmed that all episodes drop August fifth.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: Has it been confirmed that all episodes drop on August fifth? Katie?
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: Do you know what that means?
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: We've got to turn it around the entire day.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: So how many episodes have we been Has it been
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: confirmed how many episodes this is yet? Guys, we may
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: have to break this up into two episodes.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it might be that we're dropping an episode on
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: the sixth and an episode on like the tenth or
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: something on that sun. Yeah.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: Like or I would even say, I would genuinely even say, like,
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: if we just break the season and half and we
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: break it into two weeks, I think that, Uh. I
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: don't necessarily think this requires, Hey, we need all to
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: like let's say there's ten episodes. Like, I'm not saying like, oh,
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: all ten episodes need to be dropped within a two
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: or three day span. I think that. Yeah, if if
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: all episodes drop on the fifth, say it's ten episodes,
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: we drop one through five on the sixth, which will
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: be a August fifth actual live show, and then the
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: very next week, which would be the thirteenth, thirteenth would
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: be episode six through I think that's how we would
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: need to do it.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and we can kind of play it by year. Yeah, so,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: but we will definitely have some sort of view for
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: you guys on the sixth for that. The other part
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: of this press release, oh it does say eight episodes.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Excuse me, I'm totally blind, and the press release is
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: the eight episode limited anime series is part of an
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: all new Star Wars Visions Present spanner, which allows filmmakers
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: to tell longer form Star Wars Vision stories. So that
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: does kind of tell us that there will be future
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: Visions Presents storytelling efforts, which is encouraging. That's it. That's
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: encouraging that this went well enough that Lucasfilm was like, Okay,
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: you know what, we can keep doing this.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: We can we can create more content for our Disney
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: Plus contracts is essentially what this is about. That being said,
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: of course, we don't know any more future projects. When
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: it comes to Visions, we don't know. We don't even
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: know the locations of the studios in season four. So
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: my question to you, off the top of the Dome,
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: through Visions seasons one, two, and three, what is the
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: next Visions presents series that you want to see?
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: Off the top of my head, this is the first
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: one that comes to mind, and it's the French anime
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: episode from season two, which was, uh, the dancer with
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: her daughter that was our son. I can't remember who
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: it was, but what her child basically was taken by
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: the Empire and uh like mutilated and stuff. I would
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: love to see a continuation of that story. Yeah, the
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: French episode. I really fell in love with that style
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: of animation, but also the story being told of a
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: mother's love for her child. I thought it was really unique,
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: really special, and I loved how the animation touched on
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: like the different dance elements. So there's others. I know
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: there's others, but that's that's the one that jumps out
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: at the top of my head. What about you?
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: So I off the top of my head, off the
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: top of the Dome, I have the Bounty Hunters. Okay,
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: this was one from season three that we both enjoyed
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: very much, and we both had said, like, hey, this
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: has a lot of potential for future installments if Visions
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: ever goes back to Japan. This I think does very
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: much have potential with the because it was with the
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: the woman that was at one point enslaved and then
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: became a bounty hunter and all of that stuff. So
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: I think with a really fun droid in there as well,
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: I think that would be a very very fun series
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: to jump into. The second that I immediately thought of,
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: which I think somebody like Snell would appreciate because he
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: loves Wallace and Grammet and you actually really really it
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: was in season two I Am Your Mother, which was
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: the ah the young the racing one with the pilot
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: Annie uh and actually had a canonically uh oh who
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: was the Yes, Wedge was a part of was was
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: a part of that one as well. So I think, uh,
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: the Claymation would be a really fun series to jump into.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, Yeah, I'm excited for the ninth Jedi.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: Well, we'll see how it goes. Yeah, And that is,
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: like we said, debuting August fifth, one month from now. Guys.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: We have so much content, guys.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: So much legacy Legacy Review next week, Eyes Like Stars,
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: the following week, Vision's Manga, the next week, the ninth Jedi.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: It's going to be a blast.
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: Yes, so much reading, but guys, I think that's all
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: the news pieces.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, how is the box office for the Mandalorian.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: Let's look at that.
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: Let's take a quick look, because I think that we.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Have one hundred and thirty six dollars.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: How much?
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: Oh excuse me? That was the AI for Google box
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: office Mojo is my typical uh place for box office
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: three hundred and forty point zero seven one million.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: Dollars currently placed at number eleven in the box office currently.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, my hit three point fifty it might.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: Which which is a lot more than what I predicted.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: By the way, I totally lost that pizza bet with
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: Travis for Supergirl that I thought Supergirl was going to
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: do better than Star Wars and that crashed and burned.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: So I haven't gotten a chance to go see it,
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: and I feel bad about it.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: But it is. It's it's not looking great. But nope,
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: we are going to be discussing Doctor Afra Chaos Agents.
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: This is uh the twenty twenty five run. It is
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: five issues long.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: Ky, we have writer, yes, Cherish Cherish Chin. I think
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: she goes they go by Cherry. For artists, we had
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: Gabriel Guzman for issues one through three, Kieran Mcowan for
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: issue number four, and Stephen Cummings four issue number five.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: The color artist is Mike Attilla and the letter is
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: VC's Joe Karaman. Yeah.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: Cover art EG Sue for number one and E. G.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: Cure for two through five. Assistant editors Mikey J. Basso
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: and Drew Baumgartner, and the editor is uh Mark Panacea Panachea.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: In terms of art for this one, I kind of
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: liked four through five better than one through three.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: Yes, I am the same, although I will admit one,
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: two and three did have uh emotional facial expressions down
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: pretty well.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's stuff like this guy. Sorry guys, the
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: background is throwing me off, but.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: The very was my thing I have. I I think
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: the story was okay. I do have a problem with
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: this series though, very.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: Non emotional steaks but like interesting no stakes at all,
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: but like it has stakes for Afra as a character,
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: just not wide pressing the steaks and is a beloved
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: character who they think and I agree with, can still
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: be relevant to the cultural of Star Wars. But I
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: think the problem is is af as a character. And
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: now I have not read all of the Afra runs.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: I've read bits and pieces here and there. I think
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: the issue with Afra is that so far she has
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: required a secondary she she requires a secondary main character.
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she is. She is very much co dependent.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: She piggybacked off of Vader, She's piggybacked off of Luke Khan,
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: She's piggyboff, piggybacked off Chrys, Santan, Sana, Starros. The list goes.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: On issue number five, I felt like Afra was coming
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: into her own and I needed more after that, Like,
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: I felt like we were finally getting Afra as a
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: solo character.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: And then it ends, it ends, and it's.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: Very sad, and so I think, like, we have Luke
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: for issues one and two, and then we have Han
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: for issue three, and then we have Chili for issue four,
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: which was very random, Like, did not see that coming,
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: I guess because they wanted to have two wookies play
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: on the same page together.
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: I also, I will admit, I don't like the way
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: that they introduce the idea of bringing Han in, more
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: so because I understand that you have to like get
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: people excited for the next issue, because not everybody is
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: going to be aware of things like solicitations which literally
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: tell you like, hey, this is what's going to happen
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: in the next issue. The way I would have gone
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: about it is like, at the very end, Loose Skywalker says, oh,
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: by the way, you're gonna have somebody watching over and
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: he like throws the data pad at her, and she's like,
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: Han Solo, I think he should have kept it to himself. Yeah,
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: because of the way that issue three starts, Afro is
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: kind of talking like she doesn't know what her next
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: mission is when she has already been told that Han
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: Solo was going to be tagging along with her. So
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: there's just some like things I would have changed for sure. Also,
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: if issues one and two did not prove, or if
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: you had any question on what kind of individual Luke
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: Skywalker was before this series, issue one and two proved
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: he is a cop. Afra specifically told Luke, Hey, not
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: everybody's going to be super jazzed about you being here,
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: So let me run the gauntlet on this and we'll
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: be good to go. And as soon as somebody says oh,
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: the force he immediately takes off his hood is like, hey, on,
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: behalf of the Republic, I'm taking this into custody, and
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: then all hell breaks loose. Yeah. If Luke would have
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: kept his mouth shut, stayed quiet, Afra would have gotten
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: everything they needed with no chaos and sewing. Now I
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: understand that the book would have then been four pages shorter.
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: Ha I understand that. But to put Luke in the
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: light of being this cop like figure and then an
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: issue too blaming Afra were the chaos that ensues in
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: issue one. I was so angry reading those issues. I
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: was like, Luke, why did you do that? It was
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: very easy. She was getting everything that y'all wanted. And
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: then an issue too, he was like, hey, because if
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: this is what happened on the last planet, I should
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: take control of the situation.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: That's what got me is I didn't really care that
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: he did the thing. I think he lives by that
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: farm boy persona, and they did it a little bit
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: better in the legends where it was like some naivete
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: like everybody in the universe's good kind of feeling in
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: this case that naivety would have benefited better. But then
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: to act all high and mighty in issue too. I
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: was like, yeah, you really feel like a cop right here.
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: Oh, and also it doesn't help his case that And
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: again I understand this is the reasoning behind the storytelling
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: and the reasoning why they do it, but for the
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: fact that he was like, Hey, I'm gonna be the
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: face of this investigation and have a door slammed on
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: me every single chance that I get. And then Afra
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: literally just spends less than fifteen minutes talking to somebody
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: in a card game and she's like, Hey, I have
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: all the information we need.
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: That aska for you though she's spectacular, but it is
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: just like.
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: For one people, we need to we need to come
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: to terms with the fact that even though Luke Skywalker
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: can be a badass, he is just another white guy.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: Like he is just another white man that does not
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: need to be the answer for everything.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: That's just like and you can.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: Have big storytelling moments where he is that focus, but
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: it in it It's like Lucasilm was trying to say,
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: kind of when they were making good efforts, is that
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: Luke Skywalker is only one man, and Leah and Han
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: are only two other people that can't be everywhere in
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: the galaxy, all at once, and then all of a sudden,
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: now we must have him everywhere back a kid.
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: So, and we didn't have enough people show up for
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: the Mandalorian and Grogu, which I totally get why because
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: box office or movies are expensive as heck right now,
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: I totally get. I'm not saying that, but Lucaslm's gonna
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: look at that and go, well, we tried. Now we
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: have to do something else.
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: I will say this, will say this. I went to
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: go see Supergirl here in Texas because literally the weekend
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: it came out, I was literally driving from Indiana to Texas.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: Seeing a movie ticket for less than twenty dollars was
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: very nice. But I do know if I were to
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: go see the same movie after six pm, it would
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: not be less than twenty dollars. So it's it's expensive
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: everywhere for sure. But yeah, as far as anything else
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: in the Doctor Afra series, really, I think I have
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: too many gripes. Other than the first two issues, I think, well,
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: and like when when you said like, oh no big
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: whenstandre percussions, I think that was Another big complaint is
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: that when you put this premise out to people. And again,
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: I think this is more so a result of this
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: only being a five issue series. Yep. Like by Issue too,
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: like by the beginning of Issue Too, it felt like, Hey,
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: this Gauntlet could be something.
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: It really felt like it was nothing because of the issue.
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: And that's and that's what they tried to do with
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: the twenty twenty run. I feel like is they carried
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: over artifacts and made them big proponents. I do like
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: the idea of Afra being a dagger and like a
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: historical artifact hunter and that's how she works for her
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: sentence off kind of feeling. I liked that concept, and
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: I like when we talked about our Star Wars suicide
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: squad like in the Mando era, like we both or
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: I think I put her on there, Yeah you did,
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: you did, But like, I think that concept totally works here.
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: The big issue is not enough time and not enough
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: Uh not enough? Like what's the word I'm thinking, there's
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: not enough. I don't want to say effort, because I
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: know everybody put great effort into the storytelling, but like,
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: effort's like the closest thing I can look I can
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: find in my head. Sorry, guys, it's definitely not the
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: word that I'm thinking of.
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: Just want to say hi to Alex in the chat.
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: And also, Kevin, we do see your comments on the
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: Starfighter Future and how it's going to bounce back with lucasfilm.
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: We do believe that is true. Also, yeah, we'll.
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: Talk about it more after we get done with the
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: comic review.
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I agree, And this goes back to our
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: conversations with Jedi Knights and Kylo Rinn recently, and I
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: say recently, I feel like twenty twenty four and twenty
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: twenty five specifically, there has been a little bit of
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: a less investment in the Star Wars line of comics
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: when it comes to Marvel, and it kind of hurts
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: because we always say like we're we're always saying like, oh,
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: we don't really have to worry about concept because it's
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: constantly coming to us because we cover everything. We cover movies,
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: we cover TV shows, we cover books, we cover comics. Yeah, Like,
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: when you look at everything, it's all encompassing and it's
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: a whole year's worth, but when you look at those individually,
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: it starts to shrink. In comic books specifically, when it
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: comes to Star Wars, it's been almost like a desert.
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: There hasn't been much of anything consistently. Everything has been
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: a limited series, and I genuinely think things need to
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: change when it comes to that aspect Star Wars specifically,
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: so that way we can have substance with everything that's
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: going on with these characters that we want to see.
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: Either that or you need to be upfront with these
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: artists and the authors who are coming in and you say, look,
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: you got five issues. I need a tight story and
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: it need to make it work. The other thing I
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: wanted to say, I think this is the last thing
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: that I had was this cover, this issue cover.
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: Originally when this came out, I was like, why is
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: Luke so feminine looking? And I know people like to
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: say he looks kind of feminine your preference. I've always
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: thought Luke was more masculine, but that also might be
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: the Star Wars legends. But turns out this is her sister.
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: This is not Luke very important in case you were thinking.
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: I well, and that's the thing when you look at
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: I think that's one of the other big complaints to
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: me is when you look at the series, like judging
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: a book by its cover, you look at issue one
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: and then you look through issue two through five, Issue
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: one looks like it should not be a part of
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: this series. It's like they decided immediately after they got
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: the completed work on cover on cover one, was like, hey,
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: we definitely need to change this. Yeah, I don't know why.
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: I don't. Like there's like the cover that I currently
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: have on our thumbnail is actually a variant cover. It's
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: not the uh A cover, actual cover for uh for
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: the series. But when you look at the covers, it
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: looks like the odd one out. It looks like the
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: Black Sheep, And it's again totally preference. Are is subjective,
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: totally understand the It just looks like a completely different
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: story compared to everything else.
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: And I think like he the artist for issue number one,
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: came back for two through three, that's Guzman, but it
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: does it looks like they dropped the aggressive shading a
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: lot in two and three, like it cleaned up because
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: like they're still like this is this is the beginning
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: of number two And I know you can't really see
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: it that great, but like this is very much less
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: shaded Luke Skywalker face compared to the one that I showed.
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: And I think it's because they took a look at
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: it and said, yeah, you know what, this is not
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: gonna work. Or maybe this was originally supposed to be
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: a one shot, because I did feel like Issue one
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: was kind of long, longer than the other issues, so
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: maybe it was supposed to be a one shot, like
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: attached to Star Wars, and they were like, yeah, you
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: know what, this has promised, like we're gonna make it
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: a mini series instead.
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: I don't know. And I also and I also do
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: have a small problem with the fact that when you
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: in the book with literally the fact that you have
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: no idea whether she actually learned her lesson or not.
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: Uh huh, Like because she is talking to her sister
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: and it's like, hey, I had a really nice conversation
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: with somebody that's somebody being Luke Skywalker about how you
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: can change and like you don't have to keep running
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: and everything else. But like once the sister said stuff,
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: like they're like, okay, cool, let's let's just go, and
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: you're like, okay, but go where are you running again? Yeah?
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: Or are you going to be a dagger when the
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: next time we see you?
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Because it goes back and forth, and the whole
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: title of this series is Chaos Agent. Like I feel
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: like if she was only going to be a Dagger
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: Agent for five issues, we should have had Dagger here instead.
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: Really because there's not there's chaos an issue one, which
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: is also why I kind of leaned towards it was
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: a one shot that got developed further.
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: I understand that Afra can be a loose cannon, and
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: like that was the whole point. That's the whole premise
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: is that like, hey, like we understand and value your
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: knowledge and skills, but you even convinced your parole officer
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: that you should go and steal some things Like that
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: was like the whole first issue, which I thought was
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: really really funny, but like everything from after issue too,
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: she is like doing good. She is not a loose cannon.
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: She is not breaking any rules. She's not be like
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: she's not becoming a rogue agent or anything. She's following
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: the rules. So like I think overall, and and I
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: think this is a silly argument, but I still think that, like, guys,
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: this could have done a lot better even if you
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: do twelve issues, because five just seems way too short.
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: It Like I don't know what the resolution is at
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: the end, Like I feel like I didn't learn anything,
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: Like it feels like there is no like ending.
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: It just ends, Yeah, which is I believe that's how
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: Afra has ended the previous two series is kind of like, Oh,
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: we're just going to kind of go off and like
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: see what happens kind of thing. Uh, respecting the chaos
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: of who Afra is. If you guys are interested, our
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: friend at Ryan at my knock Manner has actually completed
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: two interviews I believe with Chen.
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: They were really good interviews.
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: I admit I forgot to read them before we did this,
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: but I read them when he first released them, and
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: they were very good interviews. He did a really great
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: job and it was a fun interview with Chen. So
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: I would highly recommend if you're interested in that to
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: go check those out because I do think they did
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: a really good job and there's promise here. But like
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: you said, like Jedi Knights, there's some missing stuff here
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: and it feels like we got rushed.
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: Probably my favorite art in this, by the way, is
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: Issue four and five. Four is probably my favorite.
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: I out of every out of every issue, I think
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: my favorite would have to be issue for I think
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: you're right, Yeah, I think issue four, especially, Like again,
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: artists objective, everybody can have their own opinion, but transitioning
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: to what we had in issues one, two, and then
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: three and then switch over to what we have in
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: four felt like a little bit of fresh air. It
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: was very clean, very smooth. I love the shading, I
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: love the colors, and I think you're right. I think
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: genuinely they're just like, hey, we need some sort of
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: buffer between issues three and issue five. Let's just have
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: two wookies to duke it out. Yeah, And that's that's
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: the reason why Chewy and Chris An we're a part
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: of that that issue because it happens so quickly, because
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: again they're fighting for like three or four pages and
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: then there's the exposition and then the ending, so you're
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: kind of just looking at arts for a little bit
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: while they're fighting.
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: And Afro's commentary is super funny. I definitely love Afra
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: as a character, and Chin definitely hits Afra's character very well.
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: Uh but like even the guy in the beginning who's like, Abra,
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: we need you in the drawing by like I was
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: cackling in the coffee shop, oh man.
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, But I think that's it.
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: For the comic discussion. So going to Kevin's comments before
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: we close out, Guys, Kevin says Starfighter trailer will be
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: released the public D twenty three XL Lucas film will
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: bounce back theatrical. We can hope for the bounce back
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: and we'll see what happens. I just I I need
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: the billionaires and the millionaires to recognize that we're in
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: a different situation and that we need to keep budgets trim.
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah. If anything, again, We've talked about this so much,
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: and I think Obsession is a really good explanation. Is
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: a really good example. Obsession had I think less than
• 54:44
  Speaker 3: a million, less than one hundred million. I can't remember
• 54:48
  Speaker 3: the exact budget for Obsession, but it has broken records
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: for the genre and for the type of movie that
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: it was wanting to be.
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, did I lose you or did you lose me? Clay?
• 55:29
  Speaker 3: Okay, so they Katie, Okay, I'm back. Okay, both cameras
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: went out. I have no idea if anybody could hear anything, uh,
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: but we'll double check. But what I'm what I'm saying
• 55:43
  Speaker 3: is that with different genres, budgets can be extremely different.
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: And this is why I will always be a huge
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: cheerleader for Star Wars needs to lean into genre filmmaking
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: instead of just trying to be the one billion dollar
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: box office movie.
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, not everybody's gonna hit there, so that they just
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: need to recognize that and recognize that four hundred million
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: dollars three hundred million dollars at the box office. It
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: is not a bad thing if you can keep your
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: budget better. So, yeah, I do not know about the
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: star Fighter trailer being released to the public T twenty
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: three XPL. I'm thinking probably more towards Christmas, just because
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: I don't think they've shown a trailer at an expo
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: yet for a Starfighter, and typically the first one that
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: Lucaslim shows is at an expo and it's private, so
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know how much we would get. I would
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: be leaning more towards Christmas or maybe October ish with
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: like college football, like a big game for college football,
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: that would probably be where I would be at for
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: the trailer. People easily get offended about everything right now,
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: Disney going to have to play it safe to keep
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: the family audience. Yeah, I easily offended this.
• 57:24
  Speaker 3: I think this was this. I think this was my
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: comment towards uh when we started talking about grifters and
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: everything else. Like, I like, I think that we have
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: seen very recently that there has been a little pandering
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: to the negativity, which is not great long term, and
• 57:52
  Speaker 3: I do I do think that a lot of studios
• 57:55
  Speaker 3: need to really be careful with that because like, just
• 58:01
  Speaker 3: just know that every single audience is in a bubble,
• 58:06
  Speaker 3: because if you're looking at long term, you're gonna have
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: generations and generations and it's just not gonna look good.
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: You have to modify for the generations that are coming
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: because the Generation X, the Boomers, they're not going to
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: be here forever. And you cannot sustain a business with
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: catering to one generation. You just can't. Yeah, So but yeah,
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: I think that cuts us here. So remind you guys
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: before we say your goodbyes. Next week you will have
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: an episode. It will not be a live episode, it
• 58:50
