  Track 3: Just like I complained in Andor whenever the Force healer was like 10 seconds
• 0:05
  Track 3: out of all of the entirety of Andor. And I was like, this shit sucks.
• 0:10
  Track 3: This is the worst episode of the series so far. Yeah, no, that's how I feel
• 0:14
  Track 3: anytime the Force is involved. I just don't like the Force.
• 0:17
  Track 2: I actually have a cut of season two where they just remove her character from the show.
• 0:24
  Track 3: It's called the perfect cut.
• 0:27
  Track 2: I actually just someone on on threads sent me a cut that's i'm sure you could
• 0:33
  Track 2: find it on like a torrent somewhere but someone posted it on their google drive
• 0:36
  Track 2: and it's basically a cut that,
• 0:39
  Track 2: intertwines parts of andor with rogue one i didn't watch it but i it seemed cool i'm sure that.
• 0:45
  Track 3: I mean that's what was kind of talked about already was supposedly with a uh
• 0:51
  Track 3: re-release re like another a re-release theatrically of Rogue One with some snips of Andor.
• 0:59
  Track 3: I mean, for my re-watch of this, I watched the last three episodes of Andor
• 1:05
  Track 3: Season 2 and then Rogue One.
• 1:07
  Track 2: I realize I didn't send you the little document, but there's no notes on it,
• 1:10
  Track 2: just literally a little...
• 1:14
  Track 2: The notes for this movie are in my head.
• 1:16
  Track 1: Yeah, the notes for the movie that we've all watched, like, fucking several times.
• 1:22
  Track 2: This is the third time I've seen it this year. I think it's now the movie I've watched the most.
• 1:27
  Track 3: You watch it monthly.
• 1:29
  Track 1: There was that one.
• 1:30
  Track 3: Like, you watched it.
• 1:31
  Track 1: Like, you watched it within two days the one time.
• 1:34
  Track 2: Yes, so I, yes, I watched it, and then I think it was, I had done a re- Oh.
• 1:40
  Track 1: Is that what your daughter wanted?
• 1:41
  Track 2: No, I re-watched Andor, I think, then. And then I watched it.
• 1:45
  Track 2: And then two nights later, she's like, oh, you watched it without me.
• 1:49
  Track 2: I'm like, all right, fine, I'll watch it again.
• 1:50
  Track 2: March 14th, 2025, or May 14th, and then May 16th, according to my letterbox.
• 1:56
  Track 4: Sit back in your seats, get something to eat, and watch this movie.
• 2:01
  Track 4: Don't let the kids see it, because we'll let you hear the video. Thank you.

• 2:41
  Track 2: This week on Left of the Projector, we continue our series on Gareth Edwards with The Big One.
• 2:46
  Track 2: Being recorded on so-called Star Wars Day, we're talking about Rogue One,
• 2:51
  Track 2: also known as Season 3 of Andor.
• 2:53
  Track 2: Released in 2016, this was a monster box office hit.
• 2:57
  Track 2: With over $1 million in box office receipts, the film depicts the events prior
• 3:01
  Track 2: to Episode 4, A New Hope, where Cassian Andor and Jyn Erso, collectively with
• 3:06
  Track 2: their rebel companions, steal the plans for the Death Star.
• 3:10
  Track 2: Though it has to be noted that Tony Gilroy, the mastermind of Andor,
• 3:14
  Track 2: was hired to redirect reshoots, and there's been some stories back and forth
• 3:18
  Track 2: as to how much he was involved, but it does seem like there wasn't, uh,
• 3:23
  Track 2: he didn't take over the film, it was simply some rewrites.
• 3:26
  Track 2: But there's no Jedi, there's no Force, there's no Senate, none of that here,
• 3:31
  Track 2: just K2SO, Jyn, Saw Gerrera, and many of the characters we see in Andor.
• 3:35
  Track 2: But then today I have Ward and Bill.
• 3:36
  Track 3: No, there is Force in this movie.
• 3:38
  Track 1: That's a problem.
• 3:39
  Track 3: What are you talking about? That's a problem, if you ask me.
• 3:43
  Track 1: Wait, do you think he's not using the Force?
• 3:49
  Track 2: He has to be. He's blind.
• 3:51
  Track 1: Yeah, I know.
• 3:58
  Track 1: You're the one who said there was no force.
• 4:00
  Track 2: I know. I realized that when I was writing that, I was thinking in my head that
• 4:04
  Track 2: this was like the Andor kind of thing.
• 4:07
  Track 2: I mean, there isn't any force in Andor. I know that there is the thing with
• 4:11
  Track 2: the woman, the healer, but she doesn't specifically call out what she's doing directly.
• 4:15
  Track 3: I mean, she's a force healer and she heals his shoulder after the laser blast.
• 4:20
  Track 3: But yeah. It's like barely anything, but it still makes the worst episode of Andor.
• 4:26
  Track 2: I know that there is the Force, and the character literally says,
• 4:31
  Track 2: I am the Force, or I'm one with the Force, the Force is with me, over and over again.
• 4:34
  Track 2: But it's not their mission, I don't believe, is dependent upon that.
• 4:42
  Track 1: There's no Jedi.
• 4:43
  Track 3: No, but a lot of the feats are. Yeah. A lot of the feats are Force-dependent.
• 4:48
  Track 2: I suppose. I suppose.
• 4:49
  Track 3: Which brings me to one of my complaints is Melshi gets, Melshi dies off screen.
• 4:56
  Track 3: Melshi, who escapes from Narkeena 5, dies off screen in this movie, but, uh...
• 5:03
  Track 3: Jedi apprentice Ip Man, Donnie Yen's character, Chira fucking gets to dodge and weave laser blasts.
• 5:12
  Track 2: Yeah. I mean, I think that it only happens this way because this came before Andor. Exactly.
• 5:20
  Track 2: Like if Tony Gilroy had written Andor and then they released the movie that
• 5:23
  Track 2: fits in between, Mel, she would have been probably in it more.
• 5:27
  Track 1: Yeah, that's the only reason.
• 5:29
  Track 3: Oh, I know it's the only reason. I'm still going to bitch about it because...
• 5:34
  Track 3: because i'm fucking miserable but no and
• 5:37
  Track 3: also because dude fucking this movie is like made better whenever you watch
• 5:41
  Track 3: andor like yes it preceded andor but everything's made better but that does
• 5:46
  Track 3: put a sour taste in my mouth like now after andor it's like the only thing that's
• 5:51
  Track 3: gotten worse is like wait he dies off screen now oh fuck yeah it.
• 5:56
  Track 2: Yeah it sucks it's it's
• 5:59
  Track 2: kind of wild to me that i think about this is so they released you
• 6:02
  Track 2: know obviously the original trilogies episodes four through six then
• 6:06
  Track 2: they did the prequel trilogy and then they released this the
• 6:09
  Track 2: jj abrams force awakens and then between
• 6:11
  Track 2: that and the last jedi they released this movie rogue
• 6:14
  Track 2: one which it's almost hard to believe that there was then a star wars movie
• 6:18
  Track 2: almost every year i think every year for five years because they had force awakens
• 6:23
  Track 2: and uh rogue one last jedi the solo movie and then rise of skywalker they're
• 6:29
  Track 2: just blasting out star wars and there's been none of them since then until now yeah.
• 6:33
  Track 3: That was a crazy run true yeah.
• 6:35
  Track 2: Right didn't solo come out in between the two i hope that it did yeah.
• 6:39
  Track 3: I think it did.
• 6:40
  Track 2: Oh yeah 2018 it did yeah between the two pretty.
• 6:43
  Track 3: Sure it did yeah.
• 6:44
  Track 2: And that's like the biggest that's the biggest flop of the star wars era rogue one was not a flop,
• 6:49
  Track 2: Not a flop. But yeah, for people who are listening, you could and you should
• 6:54
  Track 2: listen to our seven-part series on Andor seasons one and two.
• 7:01
  Track 2: And that would be a perfect prequel to then listening to this one.
• 7:06
  Track 2: So you could, in theory, pause this episode, go back, listen to eight or nine
• 7:10
  Track 2: hours of Andor content, and then you could come back and listen to this.
• 7:14
  Track 2: If you want to be a completionist.
• 7:15
  Track 1: Eight or nine hours of Andor is, frankly, less Andor than you actually. You need more.
• 7:22
  Track 3: Yeah, you'd be surprised how much Andor you actually need.
• 7:26
  Track 2: Actually, I think what would make more sense, actually, is for you to go back
• 7:29
  Track 2: and watch all of Andor, then listen to all of our discussion of Andor,
• 7:33
  Track 2: then watch Rogue One, and then listen to our discussion of Rogue One.
• 7:37
  Track 2: That's about 16 hours, give or take, of made-up number I just threw out there.
• 7:42
  Track 1: Is that actually a number you know?
• 7:44
  Track 2: I have no idea.
• 7:45
  Track 3: I think that's a low ball, actually.
• 7:47
  Track 2: I mean, eight or nine hours of us talking about it. It's got to be about eight
• 7:49
  Track 2: or nine hours of the show. No, more.
• 7:52
  Track 3: I mean, there's two seasons. Yeah, two seasons.
• 7:55
  Track 2: And the only reason we don't have an episode on every single episode of Andor
• 7:59
  Track 2: is that we have other parts of our lives.
• 8:01
  Track 3: And we also figured we'd spare you, the audience at home. Add some variety to the show.
• 8:07
  Track 2: Is there actually like an Andor rewatch podcast?
• 8:10
  Track 1: I thought you said there was one that you found.
• 8:14
  Track 2: Did I? Let's see. There's one
• 8:17
  Track 2: called Children of the Watch, which is like one of those ones, I think.
• 8:21
  Track 2: But I don't think that's, that's not about Andor actually directly.
• 8:25
  Track 1: Oh, I didn't see.
• 8:26
  Track 2: Andor rewatch episode. Yeah, it looks like there is one called The Children
• 8:30
  Track 2: of the Watch, a Star Wars after show. And it looks like they did one after each episode.
• 8:36
  Track 2: Seems like. But it's not from a leftist perspective, which is probably a bunch of Star Wars nerds.
• 8:40
  Track 1: There's also a tribe of two a podcast for andor i.
• 8:44
  Track 2: Think um i think uh proles did a,
• 8:49
  Track 2: episode on Andor. Not one about every episode. I think they just did one episode discussing it.
• 8:54
  Track 1: For one way in which they are weak in comparison to us.
• 8:59
  Track 2: What's that?
• 9:00
  Track 1: I said the one way they are weak in comparison to us.
• 9:04
  Track 2: In their Andor conversations?
• 9:05
  Track 1: Yes.
• 9:06
  Track 2: Let's see.
• 9:07
  Track 3: They can easily do 28 hours of Stalin, but only an hour for Andor.
• 9:13
  Track 1: Let me try.
• 9:15
  Track 3: We easily did how many hours of Andor? Yeah.
• 9:19
  Track 1: Come on, guys. How do we feel about this specific, you know,
• 9:24
  Track 1: and or specifically in the Gareth Edwards ouvreau? That's a ridiculous word.
• 9:30
  Track 2: You mean Rogue One?
• 9:31
  Track 1: There needs to be, yes, I'm sorry. There needs to be another word for that. Body of work.
• 9:39
  Track 1: That's three words. There needs to be a non-French word for that.
• 9:43
  Track 2: I mean, like amongst his films, like how do I rate it?
• 9:47
  Track 1: You know, we've, you know, we've, uh, you know, we've done, you know,
• 9:51
  Track 1: we've, we've got through so far. Monsters, Godzilla, never Rogue One.
• 9:55
  Track 2: It's definitely the best of the three movies, in my opinion, so far.
• 9:58
  Track 2: Of his, between those three movies, Rogue One is my favorite by far.
• 10:02
  Track 2: I mean, I've seen Rogue One, like, more than seven times.
• 10:06
  Track 2: Agreed. So, the difference is, though, Monsters was, like, his own thing.
• 10:12
  Track 1: Yeah.
• 10:12
  Track 2: Godzilla is a franchise. Rogue One is a franchise. Part of a franchise.
• 10:17
  Track 2: the creator not part of a franchise Jurassic World part of a franchise so it's
• 10:21
  Track 2: interesting to see his he's done a lot of franchise work,
• 10:24
  Track 2: it's true I think it's I mean it's just a good movie you know forgetting that
• 10:29
  Track 2: it's Star Wars you know you can separate it from the rest of the franchise and
• 10:33
  Track 2: be like this is just I think a good movie.
• 10:36
  Track 3: Yeah, if it wasn't, like, about the Death Star, then, like, you could easily
• 10:41
  Track 3: be like, oh, this is a dope sci-fi movie. Okay.
• 10:44
  Track 1: Yeah, this movie doesn't have any, you don't need to know, you barely need to
• 10:52
  Track 1: know Star Wars to, like, to watch this image.
• 10:56
  Track 3: It's fantastic.
• 10:57
  Track 2: Do you think it would have been cool, though, if they made,
• 11:00
  Track 2: I don't think they'd ever do this, but if they made a star
• 11:04
  Track 2: wars movie that's in the universe that's
• 11:07
  Track 2: canon but it's like its own separate thing with
• 11:10
  Track 2: with mostly like different characters you know what i mean like just
• 11:13
  Track 2: kind of a someone just creates sort of a side movie
• 11:16
  Track 2: you know we're like none of this it's in the same world like the job
• 11:19
  Track 2: of the huts could exist you know the crime syndicate or
• 11:21
  Track 2: whatever but it's its own thing kind of like how uh like how they made the game
• 11:27
  Track 2: of the drones prequel show same universe but it's just like some other time
• 11:31
  Track 2: period you know what i mean like it'd be cool if he made a movie about star
• 11:35
  Track 2: wars but it then didn't fit into like this whole sort of narrative like this
• 11:38
  Track 2: had to fit to match exactly with it.
• 11:40
  Track 3: It wasn't like another skywalker opera.
• 11:43
  Track 2: Exactly yeah i would love to see that.
• 11:46
  Track 1: At the time this was the closest we got to that.
• 11:50
  Track 3: Yeah at the time.
• 11:51
  Track 1: And then what mandalorian And then... I mean, but even Mandalorian.
• 11:58
  Track 1: Mandalorian, they tied it back. Yeah, they tied it back.
• 12:02
  Track 1: Star Wars is one of those properties. And we're just special. Yeah.
• 12:07
  Track 1: Star Wars is just one of those properties that the inertia of the fandom and
• 12:14
  Track 1: the weight of it, they always come back to the main thing. Because...
• 12:20
  Track 1: well it's a bono in fact how toxic the star wars fandom is and how like absolutely
• 12:25
  Track 1: like just horrible they can be and i think.
• 12:30
  Track 2: You know they.
• 12:30
  Track 1: End up complaining about everything under the sun and then you know.
• 12:34
  Track 3: Yeah and they're the reason like why those like the two
• 12:37
  Track 3: like uh the two criminals from fucking episode four get thrown in and such i
• 12:43
  Track 3: always forget that they're in this movie like bump into them it's like you know
• 12:48
  Track 3: about to be get into the whole i do know who we are speech and it's like such
• 12:53
  Track 3: a eye roll moment for me i always forget it's in there.
• 12:55
  Track 2: Yeah they have to do all their little easter eggs and shit otherwise all the
• 12:59
  Track 2: fans get all mad yeah and they're gonna get mad anyway so you might as well just make them more mad.
• 13:04
  Track 3: Might as well.
• 13:05
  Track 2: I was i was looking at that so i i was looking at my history of rate of like
• 13:11
  Track 2: watching this movie on letterbox The first time I watched it or logged it on
• 13:15
  Track 2: Letterboxd was after season one of Andor.
• 13:17
  Track 2: I watched it after that. Then I watched it again after the whole thing.
• 13:20
  Track 2: I was looking. I gave it three and a half stars in October.
• 13:24
  Track 2: I watched it on October 7, 2023, which is also kind of funny.
• 13:27
  Track 2: And every time since then, I've given it five stars.
• 13:30
  Track 2: I know that like stars or whatever is subjective.
• 13:32
  Track 1: What changed?
• 13:33
  Track 2: So the time I watched it may be a time after that.
• 13:36
  Track 2: Like most of the times I didn't write any review, but I wrote the one time I
• 13:40
  Track 2: wrote, in light of Andor, I bumped this to five stars despite some of its flaws.
• 13:44
  Track 2: It's a little bit messy, but it's the best Star Wars arc.
• 13:47
  Track 2: Seamless transition from Andor makes it perfect. So I feel like it fits so perfectly
• 13:52
  Track 2: with the Andor series that it goes from like, okay, the movie is good on its own,
• 13:58
  Track 2: but it just made better by having its, you get the full and or treatment what.
• 14:03
  Track 1: About it do you think of as messy or did you you know.
• 14:08
  Track 2: I was trying to think about that
• 14:11
  Track 2: what i found messy and i think it's and maybe this goes back to the like the
• 14:17
  Track 2: theories or the things they've been saying how originally the ending was not
• 14:22
  Track 2: going to kill everyone because they didn't think that disney would allow them
• 14:26
  Track 2: to kill off all the characters on a movie in Star Wars.
• 14:29
  Track 2: And so then they redid it, they made it that way.
• 14:32
  Track 2: And then Tony Gilroy comes in, makes some changes, makes some edits, they did some reshoots.
• 14:37
  Track 2: It's almost like you can tell there were some scenes that were meant to be happening,
• 14:43
  Track 2: maybe in between some of them, that would have made more sense.
• 14:46
  Track 2: Like, part of what I found was messy is that it seems like Jyn goes from,
• 14:51
  Track 2: I'm not going to help you, fuck the rebellion, fuck Saw Gerrera,
• 14:55
  Track 2: fuck all the rebellion people, like it always brings me pain to I'm gonna give my life for this.
• 15:01
  Track 2: It feels like that happens too quickly. And that's like actually one of my other
• 15:05
  Track 2: two, one other critique of the movie.
• 15:07
  Track 3: Yeah, I'd agree with that. It's a very, it's like a very sudden shift in her character.
• 15:12
  Track 3: There's not like a lot of explanation as to why she's changed her mind.
• 15:16
  Track 3: Cause I mean, she's, she goes from the daughter of Galen Erso to basically the like apprentice like,
• 15:27
  Track 3: of saw guerrera where she's trained and then eventually abandoned but like she
• 15:34
  Track 3: knows what finding the empire is about and even still she's just like yeah whatever
• 15:37
  Track 3: not gonna do that anymore and then gets end up ends up caught but it's.
• 15:42
  Track 1: Her father i don't think i don't i i don't think it comes out of nowhere it's her father when.
• 15:48
  Track 3: They go to.
• 15:50
  Track 1: Narkeena 5 no is.
• 15:53
  Track 2: It no that's what's.
• 15:54
  Track 1: The what's that what's the planet that he's on not arcana five edu.
• 15:58
  Track 2: Yeah edu.
• 15:59
  Track 1: Yeah it's that it's seeing her father die that's that's it it's seeing her father
• 16:06
  Track 1: and him talking to her and dying in her arms it's.
• 16:10
  Track 2: And she realizes that he gave his life yeah to try
• 16:13
  Track 2: and stop the empire is like why shouldn't die yeah yeah
• 16:16
  Track 2: I buy that and for people who don't know there's also
• 16:19
  Track 2: a book there's a bunch of star wars books countless books that are
• 16:22
  Track 2: like part of canon but there's one that I read recently it's called
• 16:24
  Track 2: star wars rebel rising and it's the
• 16:27
  Track 2: period of time between the opening scene of rogue
• 16:30
  Track 2: one where you see galen urso getting taken by orson krennic back to finish his
• 16:36
  Track 2: work to the moment when they break jen out of the prison and during that most
• 16:42
  Track 2: of that time she's working with saw guerrera on like missions training the whole
• 16:47
  Track 2: time living with him basically his daughter.
• 16:49
  Track 2: They kind of refer to her as the daughter in the book.
• 16:52
  Track 2: And it's very clear that she understands what they're fighting against,
• 16:57
  Track 2: but she seems to be against it because Saw Gerrera in the book,
• 17:01
  Track 2: like, spoiler for anyone who wants to read this book,
• 17:04
  Track 2: leaves her behind on one of their missions and she goes to jail.
• 17:08
  Track 1: Which is directly called out in the movie.
• 17:11
  Track 2: Yes, they do. Which is interesting because the book came out after the movie
• 17:15
  Track 2: was released. So they've,
• 17:18
  Track 2: wrote the book based on that bit well yeah and another crazy thing i mean is that apparently,
• 17:25
  Track 2: initially she was supposed to be a rebel sergeant instead of a criminal that
• 17:30
  Track 2: they had rescued and that a bunch of toys they made said sergeant jen urso before
• 17:35
  Track 2: they changed it in the movie,
• 17:38
  Track 2: which i think is really weird oh.
• 17:40
  Track 3: Yeah i've heard about that.
• 17:42
  Track 2: I think that would have sucked i think it makes so much more sense for her to
• 17:47
  Track 2: be like broken out of prison do you think it's a plot hole for them to have
• 17:50
  Track 2: figured out where she was and knew who she was how could they have found out.
• 17:54
  Track 3: They got intel yeah they got spies.
• 17:57
  Track 2: They have friends everywhere literally.
• 17:59
  Track 3: Literally they have cassian they have spies yeah true.
• 18:04
  Track 2: True yeah i mean they can break into like databases or whatever yeah i'm sure
• 18:09
  Track 2: they're doing in like information dude.
• 18:11
  Track 3: Clay is chilling on yavin 4 right now.
• 18:15
  Track 2: That's a good point. That is a good point.
• 18:18
  Track 1: I'm looking it up.
• 18:19
  Track 2: Well, do you think also, what do you make of, because it's the,
• 18:24
  Track 2: you know, Rogue One was released, Tony Giro was part of it.
• 18:27
  Track 2: He probably had the idea then to create the series, sort of the backstory of it.
• 18:32
  Track 2: What do you make of the, like...
• 18:35
  Track 2: Do you think that Andor's character in Rogue One makes sense based on the end of Andor?
• 18:41
  Track 2: I mean, granted that Tony Giroir wrote it so that it would make sense,
• 18:44
  Track 2: but do you think it makes sense?
• 18:45
  Track 1: Hold on. I have an answer to the question about Jynerso.
• 18:49
  Track 2: Okay.
• 18:51
  Track 1: It's because Tivik, the mole from Sogare's rebel cell, was feeding Mon Mothma
• 19:00
  Track 1: and the rebellion information, including Jynersos.
• 19:04
  Track 1: got it okay because that makes sense as as ward said because they have spots.
• 19:09
  Track 3: Which is also what saw guerrera.
• 19:13
  Track 2: Says and he's right now.
• 19:15
  Track 3: Yeah and yeah especially and
• 19:18
  Track 3: or season two you got saw guerrera like you don't
• 19:21
  Track 3: know where i am it's like dude i've literally told you where you are dude they've
• 19:29
  Track 3: tapped your phone imperial cruiser literally parked in orbit where you are but
• 19:34
  Track 3: yeah sure i don't know where you are it's.
• 19:39
  Track 1: The brydonian man it's the brydonian it's just you.
• 19:41
  Track 3: Know you think you tried board gullet recreationally yes god yes he like probably he's.
• 19:52
  Track 2: Like he like removes you know parts of its you know secretion of something and
• 19:57
  Track 2: then like probably shoots it in his veins.
• 19:59
  Track 3: Yeah.
• 19:59
  Track 1: It's really, the Saw Gerrera is so much more unhinged in this.
• 20:06
  Track 3: Oh, yeah.
• 20:07
  Track 2: Because of all the Rhydonium.
• 20:09
  Track 1: Oh, yeah.
• 20:10
  Track 3: That's like the Rhydonium, his paranoia after all this time is just like...
• 20:16
  Track 3: Yeah, it's just really broken him down as a shell of what he used to be.
• 20:21
  Track 1: It's, it's kind of sad, especially it's, it is, it's pretty sad,
• 20:25
  Track 1: especially like when you see at the end and how he very, it's like a switch
• 20:30
  Track 1: turns and he like very, he turns very noble at the end.
• 20:33
  Track 1: And it's like, it's, it's like, it's like interacting with somebody with like
• 20:37
  Track 1: dementia or Alzheimer's when all of a sudden, like when they have a moment of
• 20:42
  Track 1: lucidity and then all of a sudden it comes back and you're like,
• 20:45
  Track 1: and they're who are you? They were sad.
• 20:48
  Track 3: Yeah.
• 20:48
  Track 2: Yeah. It is sad.
• 20:49
  Track 3: I mean, for me, it was kind of like, I felt like, especially how I talked about
• 20:54
  Track 3: him during the Andor series is like, whenever it's finally his time,
• 20:58
  Track 3: it's like, he's not going to run. And he's going to just face his fiery demise.
• 21:02
  Track 3: And it's like, that's what he's been chasing this entire time.
• 21:05
  Track 1: Yeah. Yeah, totally.
• 21:07
  Track 2: I mean, it also makes sense. So at the sort of the end of near the end of Andor,
• 21:11
  Track 2: when Andor comes back to Yavin and is telling them the information about the,
• 21:18
  Track 2: you know, what they learn.
• 21:20
  Track 2: And they're sort of shit talking Luthan as like this guy's like,
• 21:23
  Track 2: oh, you know, like, fuck Luthan.
• 21:25
  Track 2: He doesn't, you know, that's how they feel about Saw too. They just,
• 21:28
  Track 2: they have this, you know, their little council for the rebels and it's very
• 21:31
  Track 2: much like their own version of the Senate, you know, honestly,
• 21:34
  Track 2: like a democratized, not to say there shouldn't be order and all of that thing.
• 21:38
  Track 2: They completely dismissed the people who essentially made it so they could exist.
• 21:44
  Track 3: Oh, absolutely. And I mean, it's, I mean, but it's also like how I was saying
• 21:48
  Track 3: during our Andor coverage was that like Luthan was very much the same as Saw.
• 21:53
  Track 3: It's just that he was more refined. And like what Luthan would do with a scalpel,
• 21:58
  Track 3: Saw would do with like a fucking orbital strike if he could.
• 22:04
  Track 3: Like that's just the main difference between the two.
• 22:08
  Track 2: Discipline.
• 22:09
  Track 2: yeah oh yeah so the thing i was saying before is like do you
• 22:12
  Track 2: think that andor's like arc makes sense like i
• 22:14
  Track 2: mean basically the end of andor again like we're spoiling all
• 22:17
  Track 2: this is he's sent on the mission to meet tivik and then basically it opens where
• 22:22
  Track 2: he's meeting tivik and it seems pretty seamless i mean they had to get andor
• 22:29
  Track 2: to be at the point where it made sense and i think it's pretty seamless i think
• 22:35
  Track 2: i said seamless a bunch of times just now we.
• 22:36
  Track 3: Did say seamless a bunch of times seamless i
• 22:39
  Track 3: mean yeah very seamless but um
• 22:43
  Track 3: i mean i think the only thing like not so seamless
• 22:46
  Track 3: about it is that like he comes back from yadden for with
• 22:49
  Track 3: clay and then he gets like he's supposed to be grounded and
• 22:52
  Track 3: like confined to quarters but then
• 22:55
  Track 3: it's like oh we got we got a spy that will only talk
• 22:58
  Track 3: to fucking cassian it's like all right man well we were supposed to be confined
• 23:03
  Track 3: to quarters boy here you go you gotta go do things and then he comes back and
• 23:08
  Track 3: it's like oh well you gotta go do more things we're gonna forget about you being
• 23:12
  Track 3: confined to quarters granted rogue one preceded andor but still.
• 23:15
  Track 2: I think it makes sense because that'd.
• 23:18
  Track 3: Be the only thing.
• 23:19
  Track 2: I think it makes sense because the way that
• 23:21
  Track 2: they treated andor and like what made them
• 23:24
  Track 2: so mad about his disobeying them is that
• 23:27
  Track 2: they saw him as like this leader who's done so much good for them and they just
• 23:31
  Track 2: want him to stop being a fuck up and like do what they want him to do and I
• 23:34
  Track 2: think they realize like no one else would be able to do any of this and like
• 23:39
  Track 2: we need him to do this and it's like well fuck it you know we trust him enough
• 23:42
  Track 2: to do it and what's the what's the,
• 23:46
  Track 2: character's name in both movies that he's one of the the rebel,
• 23:52
  Track 2: General Draven like he's the one who like has a trust in him like grounds him
• 23:56
  Track 2: and then it's sort of like yeah you know we kind of You too, dude.
• 24:01
  Track 1: Yeah.
• 24:02
  Track 2: I love that actor, too. Alistair Petri, I think. He's very good.
• 24:06
  Track 1: I mean, I don't, to me, it feels, if they set up at the end of season two,
• 24:12
  Track 1: they said, you know, Amanda, or they set up that this is what's going to happen.
• 24:16
  Track 1: So, which, because again, because Gilroy wrote it that way.
• 24:20
  Track 1: Like, you know, he didn't, you know, wow, I said, you know, a bunch of times, right?
• 24:26
  Track 1: But Gilroy, he wrote it that way. It was intended that way.
• 24:30
  Track 1: It makes perfect sense. The only thing that stands out to me watching Rogue
• 24:37
  Track 1: One is that Andor feels less developed in Rogue One than he does in Andor.
• 24:47
  Track 1: He feels more one note.
• 24:51
  Track 1: And I think it's partly because this movie wasn't written to be a Cassian Andor
• 25:01
  Track 1: vehicle. He is a main part of it. He's a main character.
• 25:06
  Track 1: But I think it's obvious that it was actually written to be a Jyn Erso story.
• 25:12
  Track 1: It's a Jyn Erso story, not a Cassian Andor story.
• 25:15
  Track 1: And it just so happens that.
• 25:18
  Track 1: I think people really took to Andor's character.
• 25:22
  Track 1: Um, and I do think they kind of possibly wrote them in themselves into like a, a, uh, a corner.
• 25:31
  Track 1: Like they were, you couldn't make Andor the show using Jyn Erso.
• 25:37
  Track 1: It, it would have been like, you couldn't tell that story.
• 25:42
  Track 1: You couldn't tell Tony Gilroy's story. And the, the, even from,
• 25:48
  Track 1: any perspective, including what he has talked about in terms of his study of
• 25:52
  Track 1: revolution, you couldn't tell that with Jairn Arso.
• 25:56
  Track 1: Because it would be so focused on Saul Guerrero. And Saul Guerrero's approach
• 26:01
  Track 1: to things, and Saul Guerrero's approach to things is so narrow.
• 26:06
  Track 1: You couldn't explore any of that further political depth.
• 26:13
  Track 1: It would have been impossible. And so it's just like, Like, it's just,
• 26:16
  Track 1: it's like the only, like, thing.
• 26:18
  Track 1: It's like they don't fit perfectly together in terms of that because Andor seems...
• 26:27
  Track 1: less fleshed out.
• 26:28
  Track 2: Look at the poster for rogue one i mean jen
• 26:31
  Track 2: urso is honestly the sort
• 26:35
  Track 2: of viewed i feel like is the main person they were making this
• 26:38
  Track 2: as felicity jones is the first character first actor listed
• 26:42
  Track 2: on the you know the the uh the thing and so
• 26:45
  Track 2: i don't i mean the movie is extremely popular sometimes i wonder
• 26:47
  Track 2: if people like shit on it too because they're like oh strong woman character
• 26:51
  Track 2: we don't like that you know kind of bullshit but i
• 26:53
  Track 2: i mean i agree with you i think that telling the jen urso
• 26:56
  Track 2: story would have been boring i don't they wrote a book about it which i just
• 27:00
  Track 2: described i don't think it would have been in a compelling story because not
• 27:05
  Track 2: much honestly happens she trains with saw guerrera for years she's only like
• 27:10
  Track 2: 23 in the movie like that's her character is pretty young i don't i mean like.
• 27:14
  Track 1: You think it could have made for an interesting story it just.
• 27:19
  Track 2: Yeah yeah i'm not trying to say like a shit on her as like okay her character
• 27:22
  Track 2: is stupid it and no one wants to hear it no i know and i'm trying to what i'm
• 27:26
  Track 2: saying i'm trying to be a misogynist here no.
• 27:28
  Track 1: No and i don't think you are what i'm saying is that like is i think it would
• 27:32
  Track 1: it could have been an interesting story it just wouldn't have been the story gilray wanted to tell,
• 27:43
  Track 1: and i think he looked at what was available and cassian was the obvious choice partly because,
• 27:53
  Track 1: there was you know a big he's like a he was a blank canvas um.
• 28:00
  Track 2: Yeah that.
• 28:03
  Track 1: He could work with um.
• 28:05
  Track 2: And i like they couldn't have made a genosur story with mon mothma like those
• 28:10
  Track 2: characters don't fit in her exactly yeah.
• 28:14
  Track 1: Like it would, it could have been a super interesting, it could have been interesting.
• 28:18
  Track 1: It could have been fun. It could have been awesome, but it would have been fundamentally
• 28:22
  Track 1: a totally different story without any of the, the,
• 28:27
  Track 1: the, the gravitas or like the materialist, you know,
• 28:34
  Track 1: and like the lessons that were are implicit to and, or you would have lost them in the fanaticism.
• 28:44
  Track 1: of saw guerrera you need luthan.
• 28:48
  Track 2: Sometimes i think about how like disney
• 28:51
  Track 2: tolerated saw guerrera's part
• 28:55
  Track 2: of and or because you had you know mon mothma and luthan as sort of like the
• 29:01
  Track 2: less you know quote-unquote radical even though i would argue that luthan is
• 29:06
  Track 2: was still pretty radical i mean the flashback scene where he just like bombs
• 29:10
  Track 2: a bridge filled with you know
• 29:12
  Track 2: troopers like that's pretty radical you know
• 29:15
  Track 2: and who knows whatever shit he did between that moment and
• 29:18
  Track 2: when the story takes place but like it was
• 29:21
  Track 2: palatable because they had people
• 29:23
  Track 2: that were like less quote-unquote terrorists you know like i don't think they
• 29:27
  Track 2: would allow a movie or a show to be about saw guerrera because that's not palatable
• 29:33
  Track 2: to to disney i mean wrote and or is barely palatable to disney to be if we're
• 29:38
  Track 2: being honest but can you imagine a show about saw guerrera And.
• 29:41
  Track 3: Now we're so lucky we got Andor.
• 29:45
  Track 2: Never again.
• 29:46
  Track 3: Would have been luckier if we got the five seasons. Yeah.
• 29:50
  Track 2: People all like, oh, they spent half a billion dollars or whatever on Andor.
• 29:56
  Track 2: It's like, it was worth every penny. Did you watch it?
• 29:58
  Track 1: Yeah.
• 29:59
  Track 2: Kathleen Kennedy. Thank you. Because she left Disney.
• 30:03
  Track 2: When she stepped down, I kept thinking to myself, did they make her step down
• 30:08
  Track 2: because they don't want them to make another Andor type show?
• 30:12
  Track 2: I know I'm sure that's not true. I'm sure she got some outlandish amount of
• 30:16
  Track 2: money to leave or whatever. You know, who knows?
• 30:18
  Track 3: It's an under note somewhere in there, though.
• 30:20
  Track 2: Yeah. I mean, I'd be willing to bet that Disney looks back on Andor and probably
• 30:27
  Track 2: wishes that they didn't make it.
• 30:28
  Track 2: I mean, I know it made them money, so I guess that softens the blow.
• 30:33
  Track 2: But sometimes I wonder about that.
• 30:36
  Track 2: When you go to the Rogue One Wikipedia page, it says it's one of the most expensive films ever made.
• 30:41
  Track 2: And it's the 25th most expensive film ever made. Granted, like every new Star
• 30:44
  Track 2: Wars movie is in the top 10 plus, you know, Marvel movies, Avatar movies.
• 30:50
  Track 2: It doesn't mean anything. It's just, you know.
• 30:52
  Track 3: It was that Hammerhead Corvette scene, huh?
• 30:55
  Track 1: Yeah. Like, why?
• 30:58
  Track 3: The Hammerhead Corvette scene was sick as fuck.
• 31:01
  Track 2: And the thing that, well, let me ask, this is like completely unrelated,
• 31:04
  Track 2: like aesthetics of the movie. Like, do you think that the special effects still
• 31:08
  Track 2: look pretty good for Rogue One?
• 31:09
  Track 3: Yeah, pretty solid. Yeah.
• 31:11
  Track 2: Yeah.
• 31:12
  Track 2: I think they look better than most Marvel movies.
• 31:15
  Track 1: Yeah, they look better than most new movies. This is before,
• 31:20
  Track 1: this movie, when was this made?
• 31:22
  Track 2: 2016.
• 31:24
  Track 1: Yeah. I mean, this is before they really started gutting effects departments.
• 31:30
  Track 1: Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness is considered kind of like the
• 31:36
  Track 1: star. Like, that is the movie that came out that, like, everyone was like,
• 31:40
  Track 1: oh, it was, like, real recognizable. And that was 2022.
• 31:45
  Track 2: The special effects on that are fucking terrible. Holy shit.
• 31:47
  Track 1: Yeah. And it is the 11th most expensive movie ever made.
• 31:52
  Track 3: Oh, fuck.
• 31:54
  Track 1: Okay. So, yeah. um like i said you know like this is this was before you started
• 32:01
  Track 1: really seeing that like real drop in quality of vfx you know um and yet they're
• 32:09
  Track 1: still spending a fuck ton of money god.
• 32:12
  Track 2: This list is crazy yeah i.
• 32:14
  Track 1: Mean i.
• 32:15
  Track 3: Wonder if they're thinking it was gonna bomb and they're hoping they could be attacks right off.
• 32:19
  Track 2: Rogue one yeah i don't know i mean this was the first non uh like a series movie
• 32:26
  Track 2: for them right then then they made the solo one that was it.
• 32:29
  Track 1: Yeah just.
• 32:30
  Track 2: Those two yeah.
• 32:31
  Track 3: So that's well i don't know.
• 32:32
  Track 2: Maybe i mean maybe possibility made a billion dollars i mean.
• 32:36
  Track 1: Jeez i don't know i mean they did a fucking banger they hired alan tudyk you
• 32:41
  Track 1: don't hire alan tudyk if you think you're making them up.
• 32:44
  Track 2: You're also forgetting that they hired ben mendelson yeah that too and and like
• 32:49
  Track 2: fucking um the guy was mentioning before uh alistair petri petri too i mean
• 32:53
  Track 2: a lot of them are like british and australian like stage actors yeah.
• 32:57
  Track 1: I mean to be fair like when we really if you really look at if you look at the
• 33:01
  Track 1: cast alone this is definitely not a movie they went into thinking like oh this
• 33:06
  Track 1: is like a write-off or like this isn't mads mickelson.
• 33:09
  Track 2: Forrest whitaker forrest.
• 33:10
  Track 1: Whitaker yeah exactly you know the ben mendelson al tudyk force whittaker and
• 33:18
  Track 1: madison mickelson right there like you don't put those people in a movie thinking
• 33:23
  Track 1: you know that you're this is like a you know a hand wave like you know fucking
• 33:27
  Track 1: whatever who cares about this no i mean.
• 33:29
  Track 2: The guy uh who plays the the you know
• 33:32
  Track 2: the one force character donnie yen like he's a pretty well-known like action
• 33:37
  Track 2: star for movies i mean they probably brought him in here because he could just
• 33:40
  Track 2: do cool ass shit you know he's in like the john wick series uh or like one of
• 33:44
  Track 2: them i don't remember what else a bunch of chinese films too like a gently movie if man if.
• 33:51
  Track 3: Man if man.
• 33:52
  Track 2: Yes i think he's also in that's what he's most well.
• 33:55
  Track 3: Known for yeah.
• 33:56
  Track 2: Yeah so he's.
• 33:57
  Track 3: On like six of them or some shit.
• 33:59
  Track 2: There's that many of them holy shit.
• 34:00
  Track 1: Oh yeah it's a lot.
• 34:02
  Track 2: You're right wow i didn't realize how many of those there were One,
• 34:05
  Track 2: two, three, four, and then they're making a fifth and a sixth one, apparently.
• 34:09
  Track 3: I will say with Ben Mendelsohn as Orson Krennic in this movie,
• 34:13
  Track 3: oh, so much better post and or treatment.
• 34:17
  Track 3: Like you get to see him walk around as like a fucking force.
• 34:21
  Track 3: Just like take over every fucking room that he goes into while watching Andor.
• 34:27
  Track 3: And then you see him in this and he's just another small fish in the Imperial pond.
• 34:33
  Track 2: I mean, you almost look at him as sort of being like the, what's her name? Deidre.
• 34:40
  Track 2: Deidre, sorry. Deidre is like, you know, important, but then goes to prison
• 34:45
  Track 2: for just knowing too much and being trouble on their side. They easily could
• 34:49
  Track 2: have, Darth Vader could have killed fucking Orson Krennic if he wanted to.
• 34:53
  Track 2: And like, you're just gone. You're just, you're part of the regime.
• 34:56
  Track 3: I had to hit him with that banger line first.
• 34:59
  Track 1: Which one? He meets Vader.
• 35:01
  Track 3: Be careful not to choke on your aspirations. Yeah. Dude, oh, that's such a good line.
• 35:07
  Track 1: Oh vader it is a testament to the power of that character that vader does not
• 35:17
  Track 1: detract from the overall seriousness of this movie um because vader is dangerously,
• 35:27
  Track 1: close to absurd especially after
• 35:31
  Track 1: the prequels and what we see there
• 35:34
  Track 1: um and i really feel
• 35:37
  Track 1: like this film in a lot of ways almost re rehabilitates his character for what
• 35:42
  Track 1: little we see of him um and puts him back where he was in turn as a like powerful
• 35:50
  Track 1: figure with authority and real weight in the Empire.
• 35:56
  Track 2: You know what's also interesting? They never mentioned Darth Vader one time during Andor.
• 36:01
  Track 3: I mean, and that's what makes it so good.
• 36:04
  Track 2: But they mentioned the Emperor, obviously, a number of times.
• 36:07
  Track 3: Well, yeah, that's like the system of government. We talk about our president, don't we?
• 36:12
  Track 1: Yeah.
• 36:13
  Track 2: Yeah, that's true.
• 36:14
  Track 1: I mean, Vader is...
• 36:17
  Track 2: I like that Vader is in this, actually. I feel like that added a kind of you
• 36:21
  Track 2: know, that felt like a for the fans kind of shit, but it was cool.
• 36:23
  Track 1: Vader is like very much like in like the world of like he's like you know he's
• 36:29
  Track 1: he's like the emperor's right-hand man he's.
• 36:31
  Track 3: Yeah he's.
• 36:33
  Track 1: Not seen as like a figure of authority in and of it in and of his own right
• 36:38
  Track 1: he is seen as an extension of the emperor he's an.
• 36:41
  Track 3: Enforcer basically yeah it was definitely for the fans
• 36:44
  Track 3: and you can definitely tell it's gareth edwards like first like foray into fucking
• 36:49
  Track 3: star wars because he does it for the fans because if he would have done it post
• 36:53
  Track 3: and or Orson Krennic would have been going into like a plain sterile white room
• 36:57
  Track 3: with like five or six pretty high level ISB and ISA agents.
• 37:04
  Track 3: Yeah. And it would have been fantastic.
• 37:07
  Track 1: It would have been so great.
• 37:09
  Track 2: What do you think though about the, I feel like we talked about this way back
• 37:12
  Track 2: when, when we did the alien Romulus where they did the, you know,
• 37:17
  Track 2: the deep fake of Tarkin played by Peter Cushing.
• 37:21
  Track 2: they did his you know computer generated bullshit i feel like they could have
• 37:26
  Track 2: just not i could have they didn't need to do that like that's also my big mark on this movie.
• 37:31
  Track 3: Yeah yeah they didn't need it he got away with.
• 37:35
  Track 2: He's cool as hell but like it's fine don't do it.
• 37:37
  Track 1: Yeah it was unnecessary and it also felt like
• 37:40
  Track 1: i remember when it i remember when it came out
• 37:43
  Track 1: and how it was talked about like it was it was
• 37:46
  Track 1: it was a hype moment like it was a a press moment they made such a big deal
• 37:51
  Track 1: out of it and it was just like nobody actually cares like the audience doesn't
• 37:56
  Track 1: care about this like you're just stroking your own egos like nobody watching this cares we.
• 38:03
  Track 2: Don't his family approved of it which i like it's better than that
• 38:06
  Track 2: than just like you know fucking ai ai him in there for no reason like then they
• 38:10
  Track 2: also have the carrie fisher leah you know princess leia little bit at the end
• 38:15
  Track 2: where they you know she had already passed away or no she may have died the
• 38:19
  Track 2: same year actually let's see
• 38:21
  Track 2: she died in 2016 as well so you know i'm not a huge fan of that either.
• 38:26
  Track 2: I feel like you could just have done both of those things without it.
• 38:28
  Track 2: I mean, you could have done without both of those things.
• 38:30
  Track 1: Yeah, I don't. I honestly, I think the Carrie Fisher one looks a lot worse.
• 38:37
  Track 3: Yeah, the Carrie Fish one looks significantly worse.
• 38:42
  Track 2: Yeah, because they made her look weird.
• 38:46
  Track 2: It's just like she looks too young. I mean, how old was she probably when that
• 38:51
  Track 2: first one came out? Let's see.
• 38:52
  Track 2: She's born in 56, so she's like 23 when that movie first comes out,
• 38:57
  Track 2: I think. Did I do the math right?
• 38:59
  Track 2: Yeah, something like that. So, less. Might have been younger.
• 39:02
  Track 1: Yeah, I remember like the...
• 39:08
  Track 1: Tarkin I was like okay and I remember when she showed I was like oh that I that
• 39:13
  Track 1: I don't like that at all that doesn't look good and.
• 39:17
  Track 2: That was all so they could make it literally the final scene be the opening
• 39:22
  Track 2: scene to you know the original.
• 39:24
  Track 1: Which they could have done without that they could have yeah they could have
• 39:28
  Track 1: done it without that and I and I do think that it it is a great sequence like
• 39:33
  Track 1: I do really like that yeah but they could have done it without that literally.
• 39:36
  Track 3: Just shot it from the back.
• 39:38
  Track 1: Yeah.
• 39:39
  Track 3: And then cut. Like, cool.
• 39:41
  Track 2: They could have. They could have done like the silhouette like in the,
• 39:44
  Track 2: you know, in the, like the shadow or something or reflection and then they had
• 39:47
  Track 2: the audio of her doing the thing from the first movie and then just have it.
• 39:52
  Track 1: That's not how Disney works. Yeah. There's totally other ways they could have
• 39:56
  Track 1: done that that would have been better and not as horrible.
• 40:02
  Track 3: You're not trying to get that 25th most expensive movie mindset. That's the problem.
• 40:10
  Track 1: Yeah. Yeah.
• 40:12
  Track 2: I wonder if they have to pay her estate or her family for that.
• 40:15
  Track 3: I hope a good amount.
• 40:16
  Track 2: I think the answer is not enough.
• 40:18
  Track 1: Yeah.
• 40:19
  Track 3: Probably.
• 40:19
  Track 1: The answer is for all this shit is always not enough.
• 40:23
  Track 2: I can't find it.
• 40:25
  Track 1: There is no amount that is appropriate for these fucking things. They do that.
• 40:29
  Track 1: Now, in terms of the overall politics of Garrett Edwards and what we've seen through his films,
• 40:38
  Track 1: the fact that this is Star Wars, do we think it detracts from that?
• 40:42
  Track 1: Because it's almost like too obvious because it's like, oh, it's the Empire.
• 40:45
  Track 1: Does he say, do the things that he normally kind of like puts out there,
• 40:51
  Track 1: how impactful does it feel in this?
• 40:56
  Track 1: comparison to other things.
• 40:57
  Track 2: Less political than than monster for sure.
• 41:01
  Track 3: Yeah it's star wars the politics are pretty
• 41:03
  Track 3: easy and laid out for you
• 41:06
  Track 3: especially his first time doing like an actual
• 41:09
  Track 3: star wars movie too it's all laid out for you this is what's good this is what's
• 41:15
  Track 3: bad all right here's a script go for it so it's definitely less political than
• 41:19
  Track 3: monsters so it's definitely like a softball but like whenever you look at andor
• 41:23
  Track 3: it's like incredible what he was able to do with that and then the creator oh holy shit.
• 41:28
  Track 2: I'd holy shit i
• 41:31
  Track 2: would argue that even though it's like the softball star
• 41:34
  Track 2: war politic you know empire bad rebel
• 41:38
  Track 2: good kind of shit he still made a
• 41:41
  Track 2: movie where everyone dies for
• 41:44
  Track 2: the cause usually in star wars
• 41:47
  Track 2: movies when someone dies it's like you know some pilot in some
• 41:50
  Track 2: random plane like you know red 2 gets
• 41:53
  Track 2: like shot down like nothing you know that's nothing really happened you
• 41:56
  Track 2: know like no one important dies really i mean yoda dies but sort of like sort
• 42:00
  Track 2: of one is you know passes away kenobi dies kind of intentionally during his
• 42:06
  Track 2: fight with vader having the guts just kill everyone that has to stand has to
• 42:11
  Track 2: mean a little bit of something i don't know if that's politics i.
• 42:14
  Track 3: Don't know if it's more so politics but in a star wars film yeah that's pretty gussy.
• 42:18
  Track 2: And they weren't originally so out.
• 42:20
  Track 1: Of like out of all the options that you
• 42:24
  Track 1: could have in terms of like you know telling a
• 42:26
  Track 1: like story that is like in here like this is
• 42:30
  Track 1: as far as like without like breaking from
• 42:33
  Track 1: the star wars like you know main story completely this is as far as you can
• 42:38
  Track 1: go and like be like overtly like political outside of the very like binary you
• 42:44
  Track 1: know especially because you know like and i think I think the fact that they
• 42:48
  Track 1: die is part of that. I think that is political.
• 42:52
  Track 1: It is the sacrifice. It is the notion of sacrifice and not sacrifice in a hero's
• 42:58
  Track 1: way. Like, I think that's actually the key.
• 43:01
  Track 1: Like, the way Cass talks about being in the rebellion and being part of,
• 43:08
  Track 1: you know, the rebellion.
• 43:10
  Track 1: It is not about being a hero. It's not about, like, saving the day.
• 43:15
  Track 1: And even, like, dying, it's not about being the hero.
• 43:19
  Track 1: It's about getting the job done to further the cause.
• 43:23
  Track 3: And I agree with that because like you have him talking about like oh like we've
• 43:27
  Track 3: all done terrible things but like he never says that he regrets it.
• 43:32
  Track 1: Yeah.
• 43:32
  Track 3: He never says that like he would do it differently. He's just like it just needs
• 43:37
  Track 3: to mean something. So let's get this done.
• 43:39
  Track 1: Yeah.
• 43:39
  Track 3: Let's keep it moving.
• 43:40
  Track 2: It's like what Bix says like they have to win, right?
• 43:43
  Track 3: Mm-hmm.
• 43:43
  Track 1: Yeah.
• 43:44
  Track 2: Whatever you do you do because you think it's gonna mean you win.
• 43:48
  Track 1: Yeah.
• 43:49
  Track 2: They apparently one of the other, I think the alternate versions of it was that
• 43:54
  Track 2: one of the fighter, you know, the rebel planes comes down and takes Jyn and Andor away.
• 43:59
  Track 2: I think that was one of the alternate versions they were considering which I
• 44:03
  Track 2: think just would have ruined the movie.
• 44:05
  Track 2: Like, going for the full Hollywood ending in this just does not work.
• 44:09
  Track 1: I agree 100% especially because I think that the last scene,
• 44:17
  Track 1: just to double down on how I think that the them dying is inherently like super
• 44:25
  Track 1: political, but to look at the way they die,
• 44:28
  Track 1: they sit on that beach and they watch the planet explode and they,
• 44:39
  Track 1: it could be seen as like basically like
• 44:41
  Track 1: a sunrise it very it
• 44:44
  Track 1: looks like a sunrise and like what do
• 44:47
  Track 1: we like what do we associate sunrises with it's like it's
• 44:50
  Track 1: the dawn of a new day like this is the future they are watching like the only
• 44:57
  Track 1: reason that planet is being blown up is because they got the secret they got
• 45:04
  Track 1: the fucking thing like it is a in the end it is both.
• 45:11
  Track 1: The the dawn of a future of a
• 45:14
  Track 1: bright of a future caused but
• 45:17
  Track 1: you know brought about by their sacrifice by their effort the
• 45:21
  Track 1: and what are we talking about as you know
• 45:23
  Track 1: people involved in these things it's like you don't
• 45:27
  Track 1: fight simply because you hate something you fight because you want to bring
• 45:31
  Track 1: about a future you have hope for something and like that's what they do they're
• 45:35
  Track 1: looking at the future before them and then the other on the flip side of it
• 45:39
  Track 1: it is the it is the flailing of the empire it is the empire's like like what's that what's the,
• 45:46
  Track 1: empty gesture it's a it's purely just like a a futile like you know gesture
• 45:55
  Track 1: in the face of defeat they've been defeated it's the beginning of their defeat i.
• 46:00
  Track 2: Can't help also but since you mentioned the sunrise like you
• 46:02
  Track 2: go back to luthan's speech in season one
• 46:05
  Track 2: when when lonnie asks him like
• 46:08
  Track 2: what he sacrifices and he says i burn my decency for someone else's future i
• 46:13
  Track 2: burn my life to make a sunrise that i know i'll never see and this is literally
• 46:17
  Track 2: the last sunrise that andor and that jinn will ever see that's it they'll never
• 46:23
  Track 2: see the sunrise of the new of the you know the defeat of the empire.
• 46:27
  Track 3: Yeah and i i enjoy like yeah it's a
• 46:29
  Track 3: jinn urso movie but like it's all
• 46:32
  Track 3: like cassie and andor is still in it so it's still the
• 46:36
  Track 3: story of like the two offsprings of rebellion that led to the rebel alliance
• 46:42
  Track 3: and has made it this far you know cassian being like luthan and cleia's son
• 46:48
  Track 3: and then jinn being saw his daughter basically and so i like that.
• 46:53
  Track 1: Yeah and honestly it's
• 46:57
  Track 1: also like it's the notion of like i
• 47:00
  Track 1: know we've called saw guerrera an anarchist and i
• 47:03
  Track 1: don't think he is he is in some
• 47:06
  Track 1: ways but he also isn't he's like he's also very clearly like his organization
• 47:12
  Track 1: is not horizontal it is not horizontal leadership at all like you know he clearly
• 47:20
  Track 1: has hierarchy um with radonium at the top,
• 47:26
  Track 1: um but it is still it it it is,
• 47:32
  Track 1: Still in, you know, stark opposition to the way the rebellion operates.
• 47:39
  Track 1: And the fact of the matter is, is that you can't actually have revolution without.
• 47:50
  Track 1: Like, yes, you need structure and organization and all that shit.
• 47:56
  Track 1: You need theory and you need off, you know, you need, you know, you also need.
• 48:02
  Track 1: Stochastic violence sometimes like it's part of it like the two things are part
• 48:09
  Track 1: of it and that's literally what comes together in the film shows that basically
• 48:16
  Track 1: you need both things you need the willingness to commit.
• 48:23
  Track 1: You need the willingness to commit major acts of violence alongside calculated
• 48:32
  Track 1: thought and planning and organization and structure and all that stuff.
• 48:36
  Track 1: You need both. You can't just have the one.
• 48:39
  Track 3: I mean, shit, even the Alliance relies on it. They just do a better job of like
• 48:43
  Track 3: prettying themselves up about it because Cassian's like, yeah, we're all assassins.
• 48:47
  Track 3: We're all saboteurs, all murderers.
• 48:50
  Track 1: Except for the ones who are constantly like i'm not gonna risk about you know
• 48:55
  Track 1: the the people i'm like they're like you know the council who are like i'm not
• 48:59
  Track 1: gonna they all back away the fucking.
• 49:02
  Track 3: Bearded guy who doesn't.
• 49:03
  Track 1: Do fucking jack shit.
• 49:04
  Track 2: And the other woman too was like you know refusing to go along with the plants
• 49:08
  Track 2: like you're not sacrificing shit you're gonna be sitting here in your little
• 49:12
  Track 2: robe making a little democracy you know votes and shit it's like you're not
• 49:17
  Track 2: sacrificing i mean all Right. They're former senators.
• 49:20
  Track 2: Like, I guess they're sacrificing the wealth that they had.
• 49:23
  Track 2: Mon Mothma was like a trillionaire. Right. I know.
• 49:26
  Track 1: Of course.
• 49:27
  Track 2: But, you know, like, they're not the ones that are really sacrificing.
• 49:31
  Track 2: Poor politicians. Yeah.
• 49:34
  Track 1: Won't someone think about their origins?
• 49:36
  Track 2: But I won't get to go back to Chandrila and drink that weird cocktail and dance
• 49:41
  Track 2: around like I'm on ecstasy anymore. It's sad.
• 49:43
  Track 2: There's something I just read today that I thought was interesting.
• 49:46
  Track 3: Hey, I would be pretty sad if I couldn't go back to Shandrilla and have another
• 49:51
  Track 3: Shandrilla party. Like...
• 49:55
  Track 2: It's crazy how rich she is like they you sort
• 49:58
  Track 2: of it's you mean obviously they imply how rich she is but
• 50:01
  Track 2: it's actually insane yeah how rich
• 50:04
  Track 2: trillions or whatever oh i know what it was at the
• 50:08
  Track 2: end of andor they show
• 50:11
  Track 2: a scene with mon mothma's husband
• 50:14
  Track 2: and the wife of i'm
• 50:18
  Track 2: blanking on his name right now like the their you know the family they
• 50:21
  Track 2: married into mon mothma married into the gangster it
• 50:24
  Track 2: starts with a D I'm just having a moment where I can't think of his name they
• 50:28
  Track 2: were trying to figure out like why would they show that like maybe you're sort
• 50:32
  Track 2: of meant to imply like are they now sleeping together or like why are they kind
• 50:36
  Track 2: of like both sad in this in like the like their limo you know whatever the limo
• 50:41
  Track 2: ship yeah yeah and the thing I read was apparently,
• 50:45
  Track 2: they cut a scene where they go do you remember,
• 50:50
  Track 2: Ward what the name of that guy was the like the gangster family that Mon Mothma marries into.
• 50:55
  Track 3: Not off the top.
• 50:56
  Track 2: Cannot think of his name.
• 50:58
  Track 3: Yeah, it's been a bit.
• 50:59
  Track 2: But he's like, he apparently owned, was supposed to have owned one of the major news networks.
• 51:05
  Track 2: And the Empire called him to pull the feed of Mon Mothma's speech.
• 51:10
  Track 2: And he basically refused to do it.
• 51:13
  Track 2: Like, this doesn't actually end up getting put into the final episode.
• 51:15
  Track 2: And supposedly, like them commiserating at the end is sort of like both of our,
• 51:20
  Track 2: you know, husbands and wives fought against the rebellion and potentially now
• 51:25
  Track 2: Mon Mothma is like off on the rebellion and who knows what happens to the other
• 51:28
  Track 2: guy. You know, I can cut that, but.
• 51:30
  Track 1: He fought, so well, he supported the rebellion because he wouldn't pull it.
• 51:35
  Track 2: I mean, yeah.
• 51:35
  Track 3: Yeah.
• 51:36
  Track 2: Say that again?
• 51:37
  Track 1: He supported the rebellion because he wouldn't cut the Mon Mothma feed.
• 51:40
  Track 2: Correct. Exactly. Exactly. But you don't ever really, you don't see that on
• 51:45
  Track 2: screen because they cut that.
• 51:47
  Track 2: I know. Just like another rich guy who like gives up, you know,
• 51:49
  Track 2: quote unquote, gives up his wealth potentially.
• 51:51
  Track 1: I mean, you know. His wealth was not, his wealth was not.
• 51:56
  Track 3: His, it was a matter of time that his wealth was going to go away.
• 51:59
  Track 1: Yeah. His wealth was not gained, you know, his, his wealth was a counter system.
• 52:06
  Track 1: in any way. Like, he was essentially a criminal.
• 52:10
  Track 1: You know, like, that's... Yes, yes. He wasn't going to fare well under a more restrictive empire.
• 52:19
  Track 2: I would be willing to bet that he made his money. Obviously,
• 52:24
  Track 2: they say it's, like, through criminal intent or, you know, criminal or illegal ways.
• 52:27
  Track 2: I suspect that he had some dealings with the separatists before,
• 52:33
  Track 2: you know, the end of the Clone War and all that.
• 52:36
  Track 2: I bet he was involved with their side of things, but probably pays off the Empire
• 52:42
  Track 2: enough to be able to just do what he was doing. There's no backstory,
• 52:44
  Track 2: so I'm just making this up.
• 52:46
  Track 1: We'll make it up for him.
• 52:47
  Track 2: It's fine. We could write a Star Wars book.
• 52:49
  Track 1: We'll write it.
• 52:49
  Track 2: Why isn't there a book about Bix?
• 52:50
  Track 3: Official canon stated here.
• 52:53
  Track 2: This podcast is canon.
• 52:55
  Track 1: Yes.
• 52:55
  Track 2: Someone should write a book about Bix in post.
• 52:59
  Track 3: Yeah.
• 52:59
  Track 2: Not just her. It'd have to be on other characters too.
• 53:01
  Track 3: They should re-release this also with a post-credits scene where Dedra finds
• 53:09
  Track 3: out about the attack on Scarif and that it was Cassian Andor and she just yells, Andor!
• 53:16
  Track 3: From her prison cell on Arkina. Andor!
• 53:22
  Track 1: Also a force ghost of Cyril.
• 53:26
  Track 3: Oh yeah, and a force ghost of Cyril just floating nearby.
• 53:30
  Track 1: No!
• 53:32
  Track 2: No
• 53:35
  Track 2: Don't you know who I am I'm Sarah He.
• 53:37
  Track 3: Asked who I was.
• 53:42
  Track 2: Oh, I think one of the best things about Andor is that he just gets the most
• 53:47
  Track 2: like unceremonial death.
• 53:49
  Track 3: Oh, it's so good.
• 53:50
  Track 2: Yeah. This pop right in the fucking dome.
• 53:53
  Track 1: By a character whose name we don't even know.
• 53:56
  Track 2: We do.
• 53:57
  Track 1: We know the bellboy's name.
• 53:59
  Track 2: No, the bellboy doesn't kill him.
• 54:00
  Track 1: Oh, you're right. I'm sorry. I'm mixed. You're right. I'm sorry.
• 54:03
  Track 2: Yeah. It's the leader of the- Yes.
• 54:05
  Track 1: Yes. It's the old man.
• 54:06
  Track 2: Yeah. The guy who plays the, have you ever seen the show The Strain?
• 54:10
  Track 2: I don't know if you've seen that show.
• 54:11
  Track 1: Oh, yes, I have seen that. It's a terrible show.
• 54:13
  Track 2: He's in that too.
• 54:13
  Track 1: That actor. Wait, who is he in that? Is he the-
• 54:18
  Track 2: He's the vampire.
• 54:20
  Track 1: Get out. Oh my God, you're bright.
• 54:22
  Track 2: Yeah.
• 54:23
  Track 1: Wow.
• 54:23
  Track 2: He's great in that show, by the way.
• 54:25
  Track 1: He is. That show is god-awful, though.
• 54:28
  Track 2: It started okay, and then it just was like, what's going on here?
• 54:32
  Track 1: You know what the.
• 54:33
  Track 2: Worst- Richard Sammel is his name.
• 54:35
  Track 1: It's the kid. The kid made it work. The longer the kid stuck around, the worse it was.
• 54:41
  Track 2: Yes. The first season or two I thought was cool, and then I thought,
• 54:44
  Track 2: like, maybe they could just end the show. But then, like, let's have two more seasons.
• 54:47
  Track 1: Yeah.
• 54:48
  Track 3: I really enjoyed this, the part in season three of Andor when he's arguing with
• 54:55
  Track 3: Jyn Erso about, like, oh, I've been in this fight since I was six years old.
• 55:01
  Track 3: It's like, dude, yeah, I saw that in season one. That shit hits hard as fuck, dude. Yeah.
• 55:11
  Track 1: I just really appreciate there's more K2 in this.
• 55:15
  Track 2: Yeah.
• 55:15
  Track 3: Yeah.
• 55:17
  Track 2: I like the, uh.
• 55:19
  Track 3: You know, the- He's so sassy.
• 55:22
  Track 1: I'm sorry for the slap. I'm sorry for the slap, Cass.
• 55:25
  Track 2: They cut a few scenes with him. There's apparently one scene when they go to
• 55:29
  Track 2: Jedha, and he goes up to Jyn Erso, and he's like, you know, Cassian,
• 55:33
  Track 2: you know, says we should trust you, so I'm not going to kill you.
• 55:37
  Track 2: Which I wish they had kept in.
• 55:39
  Track 3: I didn't even shit right before they leave for Scarif, and I was like, I'll be with you.
• 55:44
  Track 1: Cassian told me to. she told me i had to come.
• 55:48
  Track 2: Yeah it's so
• 55:51
  Track 2: funny unrelated to k2 but i
• 55:54
  Track 2: also liked uh i think i mentioned in like our chat is that i
• 55:57
  Track 2: liked that they in this movie jinn
• 56:01
  Track 2: is wearing the kyber crystal from her mom around her neck throughout it and
• 56:05
  Track 2: then luthan gives andor the crystal that he wears around his neck during the
• 56:10
  Track 2: big you know heist thing and i feel like that's a pretty cool little clearly
• 56:16
  Track 2: intentional but you know parallel i would think by gilroy but.
• 56:19
  Track 3: They're both children of the revolution yeah yeah.
• 56:23
  Track 2: I really should edit this like right now and release it tomorrow because it's
• 56:26
  Track 2: almost star wars day but i don't think that's gonna happen also it wouldn't
• 56:31
  Track 2: work out for it to be episode 250 then yeah.
• 56:33
  Track 1: I mean i i feel like as like a gareth edwards film Um, this does have all of
• 56:41
  Track 1: his like highlights, all of his like hallmarks, highlights, hallmarks of a Gareth Edwards film.
• 56:47
  Track 1: Um, it's just.
• 56:51
  Track 1: hard to see them through the shot like it's
• 56:55
  Track 1: hard to see them through the glare of star wars that's what
• 56:58
  Track 1: it is it's not it's it's not that star wars
• 57:01
  Track 1: is it doesn't cast a shadow over it's just like it shines
• 57:04
  Track 1: so brightly in our collective psyche and it
• 57:08
  Track 1: has it's such like it's like oh well yeah
• 57:11
  Track 1: of course like all these like these you know
• 57:15
  Track 1: points that he's like are going to
• 57:18
  Track 1: be here because it's star wars and it's specifically this story
• 57:22
  Track 1: of star wars about their like very rebellion you
• 57:25
  Track 1: know like the nitty-gritty of the rebels it's like
• 57:28
  Track 1: you know it it's like it's it just
• 57:32
  Track 1: feels obvious you know it's like the gareth edwards
• 57:35
  Track 1: shined well it has the star wars shine which kind of that's what yeah and it
• 57:41
  Track 1: outshines the gareth edwards parts you know it's like but when you look at like
• 57:45
  Track 1: overall it's like oh yeah this it makes sense why you would pick him to do this
• 57:50
  Track 1: like it makes perfect sense it's.
• 57:52
  Track 2: Weird i haven't heard of him making like being named to be a director for another
• 57:58
  Track 2: film since the jurassic world.
• 57:59
  Track 1: Definitely maybe.
• 58:01
  Track 3: He's gonna be working on something good.
• 58:03
  Track 1: On the week on the weekend it.
• 58:06
  Track 2: Was it's i think it's actually crazy imagine if he just never made another movie
• 58:10
  Track 2: and his five films are monsters three matt of like the biggest franchise.
• 58:15
  Track 1: Is in.
• 58:16
  Track 2: History and the creator that's his five films.
• 58:19
  Track 1: That would be amazing and.
• 58:23
  Track 2: I think he'll make other shit he's only weird he doesn't say what year he was born on wikipedia.
• 58:29
  Track 1: He's ageless i don't know.
• 58:34
  Track 2: He was frozen in carbonite.
• 58:36
  Track 1: He graduated college in 96.
• 58:39
  Track 2: So, 80, 76 he was born?
• 58:43
  Track 2: Something like that? So, he's almost 50? He's got at least five franchise films
• 58:47
  Track 2: left. He's got to do an Indiana Jones movie.
• 58:50
  Track 1: No, no. Nobody needs to do another Indiana Jones movie, okay?
• 58:54
  Track 1: Nobody needs to do that. We could just stop them.
• 58:57
  Track 1: We've had enough. They could stop. No more.
• 59:00
  Track 2: Fast and the Furious?
• 59:01
  Track 1: I'll give him Fast and the Furious. I'd love to see this man I'd love to see
• 59:06
  Track 1: Gareth Edwards make a Fast and Furious film yeah.
• 59:14
  Track 2: I don't know it's funny i'm surprised he hasn't done a remake yet i feel like
• 59:17
  Track 2: that would be his next uh thing to take some because that's all hollywood does
• 59:21
  Track 2: anyway is make remake so you know he makes a remake of i don't know i have no
• 59:27
  Track 2: idea what he would make and.
• 59:28
  Track 3: Gareth edwards remake of friday the 13th.
• 59:33
  Track 2: Remakes kindergarten cop oh.
• 59:35
  Track 1: He does you know he honestly i mean he pretty much exclusively does sci-fi.
• 59:39
  Track 2: Yeah.
• 59:39
  Track 1: He's going to make the next remake of Total Recall.
• 59:42
  Track 2: I was about to say that, but they've made one too recently. I feel like it's
• 59:46
  Track 2: not quite time to make another remake.
• 59:48
  Track 1: Yeah, but we could just ignore that one because it's terrible.
• 59:51
  Track 2: I didn't see it, so.
• 59:52
  Track 1: We could just ignore it.
• 59:53
  Track 3: Pretty bad.
• 59:54
  Track 1: Never happened.
• 59:55
  Track 2: Ooh, you know what he could remake? Event Horizon.
• 59:58
  Track 1: Ooh.
• 59:58
  Track 2: I feel like a monster, like a shit monster movie would be kind of up his alley.
• 1:00:02
  Track 1: Yes.
• 1:00:03
  Track 3: Put him on the, put him on an alien movie.
• 1:00:06
  Track 1: Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:00:08
  Track 2: There's a franchise.
• 1:00:09
  Track 1: Yeah, there you go. That's a franchise.
• 1:00:11
  Track 3: He can do something with that. Yeah. He can work with that.
• 1:00:15
  Track 1: Yeah.
• 1:00:15
  Track 2: He said in the Wikipedia, it says that Star Wars was the reason he wanted to become a filmmaker.
• 1:00:19
  Track 2: So the fact that he made the Rogue One movie is actually almost pretty perfect. It's crazy though.
• 1:00:23
  Track 2: I feel like he didn't do a whole lot and then somehow was making Godzilla and Rogue One.
• 1:00:27
  Track 1: Yeah.
• 1:00:29
  Track 2: Who did he know?
• 1:00:29
  Track 3: Honestly, crazy leap from monsters to that.
• 1:00:34
  Track 1: Yeah.
• 1:00:34
  Track 2: Yeah. They're like, hey, we're going to have you direct Godzilla.
• 1:00:37
  Track 2: Monster's not bad. The biggest franchise in history. After you made one movie.
• 1:00:42
  Track 3: On like barely a budget that you shot partially illegally.
• 1:00:48
  Track 2: That you did special effects on a computer like in your bedroom.

  Track 3: Like, that would have been so sick.
• 1:03:42
  Track 2: Yeah, we got fucked on that.
• 1:03:43
  Track 3: We got so fucked.
• 1:03:44
  Track 2: Can they make, like, a K... They can't really make a K2 prequel something,
• 1:03:48
  Track 2: because he's not really...
• 1:03:50
  Track 2: He's not in a peer... Well, yeah, right. I mean, like, he's in every part of
• 1:03:55
  Track 2: the show and movie, you know, and or in this, so he doesn't have his own adventures.

• 1:04:13
  Track 3: We don't need that. No one needs that.
• 1:04:16
  Track 2: Especially the fact.
• 1:04:17
  Track 1: Am I going to watch it?
• 1:04:19
  Track 2: They cost like $300 million.
• 1:04:19
  Track 1: Yes.

  Track 1: Am I going to watch it? Yes. Do we need it?
• 1:04:26
  Track 2: You know what? I might not watch it. I'm certainly not going to pay for watching it.
• 1:04:29
  Track 3: Oh, I'm not going to pay to watch it either, but I'm going to watch it.
• 1:04:33
  Track 1: Yeah.
• 1:04:34
  Track 3: There's dinosaurs in that motherfucker.
• 1:04:35
  Track 1: I will probably pay to watch it.
• 1:04:37
  Track 2: I was going to say, I will probably pay. Seeing in the theater is cool.
• 1:04:41
  Track 3: But I just- There's fucking dinosaurs in there.
• 1:04:43
  Track 1: Yeah, there's dinosaurs in there.
• 1:04:44
  Track 3: I'm going to look at that.
• 1:04:45
  Track 2: Can they have like, can they squeeze K2 into the Jurassic Park movie somehow?
• 1:04:49
  Track 2: He's like fossilized somehow and they, you know.
• 1:04:52
  Track 1: I watch most things with dinosaurs.

• 1:05:00
  Track 3: Look at us.
• 1:05:01
  Track 1: Yeah. I mean, honestly, this felt, it felt almost anti-climbing.
• 1:05:05
  Track 1: Like we don't have, like, I feel like we should have, you know,
• 1:05:08
  Track 1: I feel like it would have been even better to have an episode for like 250.
• 1:05:11
  Track 1: We just like had something really fucking like, like really dramatic to like
• 1:05:15
  Track 1: talk about and like shit on. Well.
• 1:05:18
  Track 3: Yeah.
• 1:05:19
  Track 2: See, the thing is, we could just not release this as episode 250.
• 1:05:23
  Track 1: That's true. That is true.
• 1:05:25
  Track 2: I could just dub over the part where I say 250 and say 249.
• 1:05:29
  Track 2: For me, Evan, Bill and Ward, we will catch you next time. We have friends everywhere.
• 1:05:35
