  most things Kenobi hat, so I can wear it over my hair.

• 3:27
  I'm a Stranger in a Strange Land.
• 3:29
  So I shall guide you my friend. Thank you.
• 3:32
  My God, this is not the topic of this podcast.
• 3:36
  Although it's related. Right.
• 3:40
  Mmm Leanne may have an opportunity to ask the gentlemen
• 3:45
  were talking about today. She might have to a chance in
• 3:48
  person to actually ask him about whispering to the zai geryon
• 3:52
  Queen. I think I'm gonna do it so
• 3:55
  probably be like, I don't really remember.
• 3:58
  Make up something. Okay, timeout, we're talking
• 4:02
  about Matt Lanter on this episode, okay?
• 4:04
  This is like the longest intro ever, but we're talking about
• 4:07
  Matt Lanter and he's gonna be at Celebration.
• 4:09
  And I considered paying to meet agree to meet and greet him.
• 4:14
  And if I do learn, here's here's my idea.
• 4:17
  Listen, listen up listeners, tell me if you like this idea.
• 4:21
  If he can't tell me what the, what Anakin Whispers to the zai
• 4:24
  Jian queen. I'm going to at least recreate
• 4:28
  the scene. Have him whisper in my ear and
• 4:31
  I'll be the queen and that's the picture that will be taken.
• 4:33
  All, my God. Yeah.
• 4:36
  Is that a good idea? Yes.
• 4:39
  A lantern just whisper and I'll be like can I be the bird on
• 4:44
  your shoe and be the onus on Bird on my shoulder?
• 4:50
  And you can tell everybody this thing, this is your song and
• 4:56
  your ear. Well, this is.
• 4:57
  I love it. Okay.
• 5:01
  Holy crap. Oh my god.
• 5:03
  Well, I was thinking we should definitely get a photo shoot
• 5:06
  with lanter extra and and Taylor and like you can be with Matt
• 5:10
  Lanter back to back and I was like James Arnold Taylor back.
• 5:13
  My can actually just feel like the fuck and the middle oh God,
• 5:17
  I love all of this. You guys, this is gonna be
• 5:20
  crazy. I love it.
• 5:21
  I love it so much. There's no way.
• 5:23
  I would have the courage to be any of these people.
• 5:25
  Without you, I really couldn't have to hold my hand.
• 5:30
  I have the courage, but I may freeze up when I get there.
• 5:33
  I don't know. They're just normal people.
• 5:35
  Although I've frozen up in front of Matt Lanter once before.
• 5:39
  Okay, it's easy to do. It's, it was my practice run.
• 5:44
  So, now, the freezing is out of the way.
• 5:47
  And now, I'm just going to talk. Yes, just do it.
• 5:50
  He's just a person like he's just a person.
• 5:52
  He's in to start a very, very beautiful person is really
• 5:56
  beautiful. He's short though.
• 5:58
  So that makes them more approachable in my eyes.
• 6:00
  Yeah, he's not like a giant Behemoth.
• 6:03
  You know what I mean? Like of of a human, you know, if
• 6:05
  it was actually Anakin, I would probably be very scared.
• 6:10
  Not scared, probably die. It's like, what is the that
• 6:15
  famous statue? It's like, The Teresa in ecstasy
• 6:19
  or something like that. If you like yes yes I'm sure.
• 6:26
  I mean I don't know if it's Theresa I'm sure miss
• 6:29
  remembering the name but She's getting all these golden arrows
• 6:34
  likes a beginner and she's like, haha, yes, loving and hating it
• 6:38
  at the same time Hayden and Matt are both going to be meet and
• 6:42
  greets. So are they together?
• 6:46
  I don't think so because they should be, they should be there
• 6:50
  at last celebration Ashley interviewed Hayden and Ewan and
• 6:55
  how funny to see, like, everyone was like, oh my God, live action
• 7:00
  Anakin and Ahsoka, next To each other.
• 7:02
  So families. Back together.
• 7:05
  She was wearing this amazing velvet Ahsoka Blazer suit.
• 7:10
  It was fucking awesome. She's always dressed to impress.
• 7:15
  She is any really? A beauty fashionista.
• 7:22
  So Matt Lanter enter his. His actual name is not just Matt
• 7:28
  lanterns McKendree, Matt McKendree lat.
• 7:31
  Sir. No Mac.
• 7:34
  Andre McKendree? Yeah.
• 7:38
  Come on with the facts. And he was born the same year as
• 7:40
  me 1983 really. So that makes it more
• 7:44
  approachable. Yeah, you guys are equals.
• 7:47
  We're 83 homies. He's actually born on April 1st
• 7:50
  and it's not April Fool's Day, in my opinion.
• 7:53
  That's April yowza dead. What is that?
• 7:57
  He's hot. Well, we weren't the only ones
• 8:06
  that think he's handsome. Obviously, there's a whole
• 8:09
  plethora of individuals out there male and female that find
• 8:12
  him attractive, but he started his career modeling in 2010
• 8:17
  other, it makes a lot of sense on it.
• 8:20
  Does it really does. He's got that look you know.
• 8:23
  Mmm, he's handsome. Boyish eager to smile.
• 8:29
  He also he takes photographs for his wife who is like a fashion
• 8:34
  blogger and it makes sense like he has that.
• 8:36
  I that Photography. I probably because he's had
• 8:40
  experience with it. It's true.
• 8:43
  And didn't isn't his wife like his longtime girlfriend.
• 8:47
  It's really sweet. Yeah.
• 8:49
  I think they've been together a long time.
• 8:51
  I think that's so nice. You just don't see it enough
• 8:53
  anymore. I know it's it's people just
• 8:57
  don't stick it out. No, but he's been in a lot of
• 9:02
  shows, a lot of? Yes, he's like that guy where,
• 9:06
  you know, it His list of accolades, he's been featured on
• 9:10
  Grey's, Anatomy and big love and and like, he's that guy that
• 9:14
  shows up and you're like, oh wait, that's Matt Lanter.
• 9:17
  Like, after having known him through Star Wars and then if
• 9:20
  you see an old episode of something, right?
• 9:23
  You go back and you're just like, oh my God, it's him.
• 9:25
  Yeah. And I kind of love that I love
• 9:28
  being like, I'm late to the game with Matt Lanter, but he's been
• 9:30
  in a lot of stuff prior to Clone Wars and Star Wars.
• 9:35
  Yeah, I think it's pretty cool. And I hope I hope his career
• 9:39
  just keeps like blossoming because every everything I see
• 9:42
  him in, you think he's a pretty face but he's really a good
• 9:48
  actor also. Yeah, listen for any voice
• 9:52
  actor. You have to have like depth and
• 9:55
  range and all candy doesn't just voice Anakin Anakin is who he
• 10:00
  is, right? But he does other voices.
• 10:02
  We always joke about the quacking monkey lizard, that
• 10:06
  hangs out with Hannah. And, oh, the mux the mock Marcia
• 10:10
  said, maybe that doesn't take a lot of talent, but he does other
• 10:17
  voices, and that's courage. It does.
• 10:22
  I'd be too embarrassed. Oh, hell?
• 10:24
  Yeah. Forget it.
• 10:26
  I'm a coward. Didn't you say, you had a story
• 10:29
  or a show that you really like, that Lantern was in?
• 10:32
  Because I'm curious and I want to hear about it.
• 10:36
  Okay, so, I do not watch these kind of shows ever, I've never,
• 10:40
  but I did watch this one, because he was in it and I
• 10:42
  wanted to see it was Star-Crossed.
• 10:45
  Hmm, did you ever hear of this? I think I've heard of it.
• 10:49
  It's a CW Show, which I never ever watch anything from the CW.
• 10:56
  But I used to back in the day when it was like a big deal,
• 10:59
  there are so Shameless on the CW and that I've probably seen with
• 11:03
  him in it, right? And it's always it's like soap
• 11:07
  operas for teenagers basically, right?
• 11:10
  So I love that song. Yeah, so like two years ago so
• 11:15
  recently I watched I think It was on Netflix.
• 11:20
  And did you tell me that you watch the show?
• 11:23
  Yes, I did. You send me.
• 11:24
  I'll embarrass. Okay, okay, I'm cluded now
• 11:31
  because like it's the, it is laughable, right?
• 11:34
  Okay. I'll read the description for
• 11:36
  you. An epic romance between a human
• 11:39
  girl. I can't even read it, okay?
• 11:45
  Between a human girl and an alien boy.
• 11:48
  When And others of his kind are integrated integrated, sorry.
• 11:59
  Deep breath, pardon me when he and others of his kind are
• 12:05
  integrated into a Suburban, High School, 10 years after they
• 12:08
  landed on Earth, and were consigned to an internment camp.
• 12:12
  So that part's depressing. So I don't like, well that went
• 12:15
  up and straight down. Yeah.
• 12:17
  Right. It's so funny.
• 12:20
  They're like aliens. They look just like humans, but
• 12:22
  they have like tattoo like blue markings on their skin.
• 12:26
  Basically, and he, of course, the Handsome boy falls in love
• 12:30
  Co with him and influential human girl.
• 12:35
  Like whose parents are influential or whatever.
• 12:37
  The hell it is honestly edits High School drama with social
• 12:43
  drama, but a really hot make-out scene near the end of the show.
• 12:47
  I think that's a clip you sent me.
• 12:49
  Yeah. Because it was, I was very, it
• 12:51
  was just like, wow, what just happened?
• 12:54
  But I don't dislike it. He had no, I didn't dislike it
• 12:57
  either, that's why I'm remembering it now.
• 12:59
  This is all coming together but yeah, who doesn't love Alien
• 13:04
  teen drama? It's basically 90210, but for
• 13:10
  alien, its 3rd Rock From the Sun, integrated into it.
• 13:13
  Yeah, oh my God, if 3rd Rock From the Sun and 90210 just come
• 13:20
  by. Yes.
• 13:21
  So welcome to the early 2000's, right?
• 13:25
  Oh my God. Yeah, totally.
• 13:27
  And I like, I enjoyed it. It was it's basically like
• 13:29
  Twilight with aliens instead of vampires and it doesn't Sam
• 13:34
  Witwer plays a vampire in a teen drama, doesn't he?
• 13:39
  Oh that was not a teen Drama. Oh not at.
• 13:41
  That was the that was a graphic show so much blood.
• 13:48
  It was being human. No no it's really like yeah I
• 13:51
  sent your Cliffs at all the clips from that one to see I'm
• 13:55
  getting my hot clips messed up here between Clone Wars boys?
• 14:01
  Yeah, it's hard to yeah but holy shit.
• 14:04
  We have an alien, Matt Lanter, who then becomes Anakin
• 14:09
  Skywalker. Kind of makes sense shit.
• 14:11
  I kind of just works. Yeah.
• 14:14
  Oh I have my Clone Wars Anakin shirt on as we speak to.
• 14:19
  Yes, of this episode. Very nice.
• 14:23
  I love, Matt. I love that shit.
• 14:24
  I do too. I just said I wear such faced
• 14:28
  with with literally literally words just keep coming out of
• 14:32
  her mouth at the same time. Oh my gosh.
• 14:35
  Yes. Oh, that show got cancelled, but
• 14:37
  it definitely was worth watching.
• 14:39
  If you ever want to watch old school, Matt Lanter.
• 14:42
  Well, have you ever seen the movie, The Cutting Edge, the the
• 14:48
  ice skating drama? No, I hope not.
• 14:52
  All right, well, it's worth it's worth a watch because it's very
• 14:55
  dramatic and it's he in it. No, he It up being in The
• 15:00
  Cutting Edge, Colin Chasing the Dream, which was he's a member
• 15:06
  of a figure skating pair and that's like the adaptation
• 15:09
  series that followed or something related to The Cutting
• 15:13
  Edge movie. It's Matt Lanter, get it
• 15:17
  skating. I'm guessing there was a body
• 15:20
  double wrap but maybe not I don't know.
• 15:23
  I'll ask him when I meet him. Um he's very athletic.
• 15:27
  Yeah he is happy though. I mean some of those shirtless
• 15:31
  photos that are on Google have. Is it from that show that you
• 15:37
  were talking about? Or was it from his modeling,
• 15:40
  what? He's got like blue jeans and no
• 15:42
  shirt and it's very oh, it could be 90210 because he did a reboot
• 15:46
  of that show, you know, how also on the CW, yes, the head Beverly
• 15:53
  Hills 90210 and then they re-released it, what was it,
• 15:56
  like, The early 2000s like 2009 and for like several years, it
• 16:03
  was on, I never ever watched it, I can't confess, but I will say
• 16:06
  some people at our patreon group, you have just started
• 16:09
  watching it and they're like, did you know?
• 16:11
  Matt Lanter was this? See what I mean?
• 16:15
  Matt Lanter is the guy is known for Star Wars, right?
• 16:18
  But then you go back and watch stuff and you're like, hey wait
• 16:21
  a second. You know what I did really enjoy
• 16:30
  him in Jupiter's Legacy. Okay, I haven't seen that.
• 16:35
  So that that also got cancelled. Like, all his shows got
• 16:38
  cancelled, like even Timeless got cancer.
• 16:41
  That was the show that came out just a couple years ago was like
• 16:44
  2001 and it was about superheroes like the how normal
• 16:49
  people suddenly became superheroes or something like
• 16:52
  that and like how it kind of changed their lives.
• 16:55
  And okay, it's like, Generational, like they had
• 16:58
  children, it was an interesting idea, it was okay, but he was
• 17:05
  awesome in it because he's kind of like a dubious character
• 17:09
  sometimes you're like, oh he's a really good guy and then you're
• 17:12
  like, is he gonna kill somebody? Like he was really good and I
• 17:18
  was really excited to see where his character went in the show.
• 17:21
  Got canceled. You know, I think it was a sign
• 17:24
  of the times. It's not so much of any
• 17:27
  indication of lanters abilities. Yes, right.
• 17:31
  This middle of the pandemic. Yeah.
• 17:33
  It was a lot of, I mean, things come and go.
• 17:36
  And it's hard to stick anymore, even on big like, entities, like
• 17:41
  Netflix and HBO and stuff like that shows.
• 17:45
  You really gotta come with something or be an adaptation of
• 17:49
  something that already exists like a book or a game.
• 17:52
  You're so right. I almost said Nintendo game,
• 17:56
  like I'm 10 but like, well game Mario is coming out soon so
• 18:02
  you're not wrong. Oh, no, and I love Mario.
• 18:06
  So I'm just showing my age, but well, they've got, they just
• 18:14
  re-released golden eye on the switch, so I didn't know that.
• 18:19
  Yeah. Did you ever play that?
• 18:20
  No, that was the, oh, I know. They might but play this as a
• 18:24
  kid. It's jammed.
• 18:27
  I wonder if it holds up, we'll see.
• 18:29
  Let me know. Yeah.
• 18:31
  I fell side tangent. Did you watch Timeless?
• 18:35
  I didn't. I would really like to, I never
• 18:39
  got around to it while it was on but because I actually didn't
• 18:43
  have tell what is it about in full?
• 18:46
  So that one is, it's about like three people and it's the one
• 18:51
  that's time travel. So they like, who I like time
• 18:54
  travel stuff. It's like a mystery, what?
• 18:58
  Like an adventure where they're, like, solving problems or maybe
• 19:01
  solving crimes like through history.
• 19:03
  So they go back and forth in time.
• 19:06
  Yeah, so like sometimes they're like Cowboys sometimes they're
• 19:10
  in like Nazi Germany. It just looks really fun like
• 19:13
  Indiana Jones which I think is kind of the inspiration for the
• 19:15
  show. Interesting to see I would watch
• 19:17
  that. Maybe I should.
• 19:19
  Yeah I think I might if I can find it somewhere, I'd like to
• 19:21
  watch it because I think it's really fun.
• 19:23
  That was the show. They got canceled and all of the
• 19:27
  fans were so upset that it got cancelled.
• 19:30
  They went to social media and started a campaign and got it,
• 19:34
  renewed. So lanterns been a part of to
• 19:38
  social media, uprisings to get one of his shows here, right?
• 19:43
  Save Clone Wars. Hashtag Clone Wars saved.
• 19:46
  If we were there. Oh my God.
• 19:48
  You're so right. I know we were like 10 feet away
• 19:51
  from him in in the Clone Wars panel.
• 19:54
  Insane, insane. He looks just as good in person
• 19:58
  as he does always on TV. He's so smiley.
• 20:03
  The smile is genuine. Yeah.
• 20:06
  You know you can tell with people who are kind of there
• 20:09
  because they have to be right. You know, but every single
• 20:13
  person Matt right up there with them at that Clone Wars 10th
• 20:20
  anniversary which was the announcement of season 7.
• 20:23
  Hmm. He just a all You could tell,
• 20:28
  they were so excited because they knew but we didn't yet, and
• 20:31
  there was kind of like a buzz up on stage, of course, mr.
• 20:34
  Dave filoni was cool as a cucumber, didn't let anything go
• 20:38
  not until his little tiny. Little cheeky smile, you know,
• 20:41
  and his little hat. He like, you know, very humble
• 20:43
  to the very end but yeah. I'll never forget how just like
• 20:49
  lanter stood up. And was like, yeah, like fist
• 20:51
  pumped. Yeah, that's how excited he was.
• 20:55
  And Ashley was like Crying on stage next to him, I lost my
• 21:00
  voice. You have to remind me to not
• 21:02
  lose my voice at this Con. Yes we're going to have to like
• 21:06
  find a way to keep your vocal cords from getting pair of like
• 21:09
  one of those portable humidifiers and a walk around
• 21:13
  like fucking Darth Vader and I'll have an excuse I love where
• 21:18
  this is going. I kind of love it.
• 21:23
  We actually don't know what day the panel is going to be as of
• 21:26
  the day. A of this recording.
• 21:29
  So it could be at any time but will now yeah well letter will
• 21:32
  keep people up-to-date. Yeah.
• 21:34
  Oh man. But yeah go ahead.
• 21:38
  What are you going to say? Nothing?
• 21:40
  I was just going to say, do you remember his cameo in the
• 21:44
  Mandalorian? Of course, I did.
• 21:47
  Of course I was, I was pointing at the screen going me.
• 21:50
  Do this maggot, am miss him. It's right there.
• 21:57
  It's that low. Leonardo DiCaprio meme where
• 21:59
  he's like, drinking on the couch and he's pointing at.
• 22:02
  Oh yeah. That was me.
• 22:06
  Yeah. So he's been in the Mandalorian,
• 22:10
  you know, as what was he, he was working at the panel and he'd
• 22:13
  ended up dying. They shot.
• 22:15
  Is that he was, he was like a bumbling idiot.
• 22:19
  When the public, are you nervous?
• 22:20
  Doofus? Who got himself killed?
• 22:23
  Yeah, which I thought was kind of funny because he's the total
• 22:26
  opposite of Auntie Skyler, totally.
• 22:28
  Which is probably why they wrote him down.
• 22:32
  Yeah, it's just that super nerdy uniform with a big white helmet
• 22:36
  hat. Yes.
• 22:37
  And he turns around in the chair because you don't know who it is
• 22:39
  and then he turns around. It's like who.
• 22:41
  Yeah, and every Clone Wars fan. Just what Erica?
• 22:45
  Yes, I love that. I've said, I will say, it's kind
• 22:53
  of sad that the only live-action he's gotten to play in Star
• 22:57
  Wars. This is total that it's, yeah.
• 23:00
  I mean, like someone please, like do Starkiller with Sam
• 23:05
  Witwer for realsies and give Matt a better role than that
• 23:13
  guard. Number one who dies rest.
• 23:17
  Well, he's listed under Star Wars.
• 23:20
  The Force awakens Wakens as quote, additional voices bright.
• 23:25
  So, damn it. Come on right.
• 23:28
  Like, come on, guys. We didn't have them in real
• 23:31
  life. His voice is so good though.
• 23:35
  It is, he has a really beautiful resonance in his voice in the
• 23:40
  pitch changes that he can bring to Anakin, when Anakin's got a
• 23:43
  light-hearted and jovial and blah, blah blah, and then the
• 23:46
  Darth Vader slips in, he can change him, he does.
• 23:50
  Yes. I mean the, we talked about it
• 23:53
  in the mortise Arc, Give him an award just for that Arc alone
• 23:59
  because the emotion and the Heartbreak and the do the layers
• 24:05
  of what we know Anakin becomes. You know and God having seen the
• 24:09
  Kenobi show. Now right?
• 24:12
  We always talk about this on the show.
• 24:14
  How Clone Wars Anakin is not quite seamless into Revenge of
• 24:21
  the Sith Anakin, right? Hmm.
• 24:24
  But I think hey, Aiden brought it and seemed it together with
• 24:27
  clone wars in the Kenobi show as Vader like in the Anakin pieces
• 24:33
  that we saw once his helmet was cut right at The Final Duel,
• 24:36
  right? I really felt like that was the
• 24:39
  most co-joined that those two separate entities have been.
• 24:45
  I think you're right and I think, from an interview, I saw
• 24:48
  Matt Lanter. Give he said, that was a very
• 24:50
  deliberate choice that he was not supposed to be.
• 24:55
  Eating Hayden at all right, right.
• 24:57
  I even think they might have cast Anakin like, recast Anakin
• 25:02
  with my Atlanta. They had someone else do it.
• 25:05
  I could be wrong, but I feel like that's Somewhere In My
• 25:07
  Memory. I remember hearing that, but he
• 25:10
  said his audition. They told him to do his best
• 25:15
  combination of Han Solo, and Luke Skywalker.
• 25:18
  Yes, which I find interesting when you listen to clone wars
• 25:24
  that. It like it kind of makes sense.
• 25:26
  That is kind of like, remember in the the shadow of virus.
• 25:31
  The blue shadow virus episode. You see the blue shadow virus?
• 25:35
  Yeah. The blue shadow virus.
• 25:41
  Sorry. I know it's a fucking scientist
• 25:44
  kills me. Anyway.
• 25:48
  Do they go to that planet to find the remedy or the Cure
• 25:52
  whatever? Hmm.
• 25:54
  And the way Anakin talks to that kid a little boy.
• 25:57
  Yeah, yeah. Remember, I told you he talked
• 26:00
  some more like Han Solo. Yes, yes, they're flying away.
• 26:04
  And he says, like great work. Thanks kid.
• 26:07
  And I'm like, that's Han Solo. It's very you're right.
• 26:11
  It's, it's the, the serious heartfelt honest of.
• 26:16
  Luke Skywalker. Hmm, mixed with the Brazen.
• 26:21
  Yeah, kind of joke. I don't know if that's the word.
• 26:25
  You don't mean just the Han Solo Nest.
• 26:28
  Yeah. It's like the like Luke's
• 26:31
  boyishness and Hans roguishness. Yes, thank you.
• 26:35
  This is why you write better stories?
• 26:40
  How am I the speaker at a panel? You should write what I say when
• 26:44
  I'm up there and then we'll be the one that Drew all over
• 26:48
  anyway. Sorry.
• 26:49
  I can't I don't know anything about science.
• 26:53
  It's about About made a planet's.
• 26:54
  How can we go wrong anyway, oh my God.
• 27:00
  That's funny. Yeah, I just thought that was a
• 27:04
  great description because it really when you listen to it
• 27:07
  with that in mind, it makes a lot of sense honestly.
• 27:10
  Yeah, yeah. And I mean toe boy.
• 27:16
  We stood right there at the her Universe at the Apex of where
• 27:22
  you bought your red 5, motorcycle helmet with the herd
• 27:26
  Universe booth at San Diego Comic-Con.
• 27:30
  And here comes Matt Lanter who we just talked about it.
• 27:34
  All these shows, he's the voice of Anakin Skywalker in the Clone
• 27:39
  Wars, you know, huge deal. They just announced that Clone
• 27:43
  Wars was saved. He comes pushing a stroller.
• 27:49
  Right behind you and I froze. But it's because You can put all
• 27:57
  the names of all the accolades and all the things they've done
• 28:00
  and how much you admire them for?
• 28:02
  Voicing your favorite character, right?
• 28:05
  But at the end of the day he's a human he's got a baby freshly
• 28:10
  born. He's got a wife, super pretty
• 28:14
  super down-to-earth they're just a couple like the rest of us and
• 28:17
  I didn't feel the need to like interrupt that, you know, I felt
• 28:20
  kind of like. Yeah man, he's Anakin Skywalker
• 28:23
  to me but he's like someone's dad and someone's And I don't
• 28:26
  want to interrupt, you know, I know I always feel that way in.
• 28:31
  Honestly, nobody was like bombarding.
• 28:33
  Him, they were just shopping and looking at the her Universe
• 28:36
  stuff and it was so weird. Oh, but I do feel like if
• 28:40
  someone had turned around and go, oh no kid likes the crowd.
• 28:43
  What are we for moved? Yeah, nobody wanted to be that
• 28:45
  person. Even though I was right now is
• 28:47
  right? I wouldn't have liked called him
• 28:49
  out, but I would have went up into him and like, to have them
• 28:51
  been, like, hey, what did you whisper to the queen now?
• 28:56
  I'm gonna find out part of why I love Matt Lanter, is he's so
• 29:00
  capable of being super serious, and good.
• 29:03
  And really funny, and he does it all in Anakin, like, what you
• 29:07
  see Clone Wars, tales of the Jedi and then, Lego summer
• 29:12
  vacation. Yes, I was gonna say if we don't
• 29:15
  mention Lego, we're doing a disservice to Matt Lanter
• 29:18
  because, right, a Lego. What is it is it was he Anakin
• 29:24
  or? Yeah, I was Anakin in the
• 29:26
  flares. He was.
• 29:26
  Yeah, yes. This is the scuba gear like
• 29:29
  shaking the sand off. Saying, got the sand gets
• 29:32
  everywhere. Yeah.
• 29:32
  God I love that. I love Matt.
• 29:38
  I think he's cool and I hope I get to meet him if not, I Was 10
• 29:42
  feet away from that will suffice.
• 29:44
  Yeah, you were in his bubble. I was in his bubble and he will
• 29:49
  always be like my favorite voice because he's my favorite voice
• 29:55
  actor in Clone Wars because he did a service to the character
• 29:59
  that I find. So intriguing, he really brought
• 30:03
  a whole new level to him all these layers as much as I love
• 30:08
  Hayden. May I have more time, right?
• 30:12
  But the character he had more space to move, he had more way
• 30:16
  more storylines to develop his own voice yet, Anakin's voice.
• 30:21
  Yes. I mean, and we got to see that
• 30:25
  and I don't care how many of his shows got cancelled Clone Wars
• 30:30
  didn't, and I am thankful for it.
• 30:35
  Yeah, and we were there when it was saved.
• 30:37
  Hell yes. Our audience question for you
• 30:48
  this week is of all the Matt Lanter shows, appearances
• 30:53
  voices, which is your favourite that is not Star Wars related.
• 30:57
  We would love to know because we might check it out if we haven't
• 31:00
  seen it. Yeah, he's one of those actors.
• 31:03
  I would like, go out of my way to track down stuff for five.
• 31:07
  Hundred percent truth. Yes.
• 31:12
  Next week. We don't care if we just did an
• 31:16
  episode deep dive, we're doing some more.
• 31:18
  Yeah, we have to because we both thought of this completely
• 31:21
  separately and that's what makes the space twins.
• 31:23
  Tell him Lauren. We are going to break down the
• 31:26
  Citadel art, we're going to do another.
• 31:28
  What is that one? Is that three episodes?
• 31:30
  I think first and it all but it's great, it's so good.
• 31:34
  I think ever since we mentioned it when we were talking about
• 31:38
  What was it? The kadavo arc kind of had a
• 31:41
  taste for it. So we are going to dive into the
• 31:44
  Citadel. There is a lot to go into.
• 31:46
  I'm really stoked to finally Deep dive on that one.
• 31:49
  Yeah, can't wait. So last week we discussed all
• 31:56
  about the novel Rebel Rising by Beth Revis and we did a poll on
• 32:01
  Twitter and surprisingly a lot of the response was very even, I
• 32:05
  said, if you've read it, let us know.
• 32:08
  And if you liked it dislike, it was so the choices were yes, I
• 32:11
  read it. And loved it.
• 32:12
  Yes, I liked it. No, I did not read it or yes.
• 32:15
  And I disliked it and actually the winner was 36 percent had
• 32:20
  not read it at all followed by 9% that said yes.
• 32:24
  They liked it. Followed by 21%.
• 32:26
  Yes, they loved it and then 14%. Yes and disliked it.
• 32:30
  Wow, that's a really good respect so and then totally row.
• 32:33
  Verified said, yes, I enjoyed it.
• 32:36

• 32:39
  in the gang which you and I completely agreed with.
• 32:42
  We love that we touched on it. Yeah.
• 32:44
  And he also went on to say, I wish they would have brought saw
• 32:47
  in a little more and, and, or I was looking forward to it, but
• 32:50
  we have season 2 to look forward to as well.
• 32:51
