• 2:25
  Speaker 2: where do you want to start? Do you want to
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: go day by day? Do you want to go to uh,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: least excited to most excited? Like how do you want
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: to do this? I don't know.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I just kind of put the topics on the page.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: I assumed we'd follow the page.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like it's up to you. But like you know,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: people people like a little bit of structure, people like chaos.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: So I'm just asking, hey, do.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: This like we're gonna go for movies? First? I think definitely,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: And then I think this is formatted day by day
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: is what I did.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: So it looks like it. So I think we're good.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I just went down the Star Wars dot Com
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: celebration web page, and that's how I made my topics. So, y'all,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I made show notes. Okay, you need to clap wherever you.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Are because they are very impressive. By the way. I
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: like it. I like it. I like it. I like it.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: I'm a very go by the flow person. But with
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: how much news there was, which genuinely surprised me because
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: a lot of this here is like news related and
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: not really just like hey, like this is how we
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: feel about this kind of thing. Yeah, but to go
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: ahead and talk about this Star Wars celebration twenty twenty seven,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I know, getting that little ahead of the game. We're
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: going to closing ceremonies, but then we'll go day by day.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I promise is going to be in Los Angeles for
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the fiftieth anniversary of Star Wars. Also, one hundred and
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: twenty five countries were represented at this Star Wars celebration
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: in Japan. Like, that's so impressive to me. So if
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: you were there, props. I know. Hopefully we will have
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Adrian on to talk about the experience. But like, yeah,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: my it looked like it.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Was still fun Network, my old podcast network that I
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: was on prior to the GUA went to celebration this.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I was a little jealous.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I was a little jealous too because when this was
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: announced in twenty twenty three, I was like, not we're
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: going to go to this, We're gonna go to this,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: and then I decided to have the baby.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, but in all seriousness, Katie, we gotta have a
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: conversation we do next celebration because they made the announcement
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: of where it's gonna be, and we'll talk about it
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: at the very end.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Uh. I already said, oh.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Well yeah yeah. But like Abby was like, isn't that
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: the year that you promised Amberln that we're going to
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Disney World? And I was like, yeah, but we can
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: all go to Disney World and then only I can
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: go to celebration. Like correct, That's something that could totally happen.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, And you know, to get the rundown on Star
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Wars Starfighter because Celebration seven is April first, threw and fourth. Yeah,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: that could be super fun.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: We got, we gotta got we we have to have
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: an actual talk about this. No promises, I would say that,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: no promises, We're going to have a conversation. We're gonna
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: see how it goes, but it may actually be a
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: goal to go to celebration.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Who knows when might have a panel proposal or something
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: if we can come up with that exactly wait to
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: the celebration.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: You spoke about it Starfighter. First up, very first thing
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: that popped up.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: This is why I want to call party foul because
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: this panel was entitled on all the panel news and
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: everything like pamphlets whatnot, it was entitled the Mandalorian in
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Grogu And the first bit of news is Sean Levy
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: and Ryan Gosling walk out on the stage. Hell yeah,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I think that's a party foul.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: No, it's not. No, no, no, because you got to
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: make it a surprise. You gotta make this like because
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: for one, the easy layup was Sean Levy, you know,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: just being like, I agree with that he's gonna, you know,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: officially announce this movie, and then boom, you know that's
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: that Ryan Gosling being there. I said, hey, I'm gonna
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna, you know, on all my predictions. I said,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go for the craziest prediction I could possibly say.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: And I even said, hey, does Japan really like, is
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Japan really in love with Ryan Gosling? Because I could
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: see that being like the Hey, you should really go
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: because Japan loves you. Now. The reason why I don't,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: the reason why I say it's not a party foul
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: is for one, yes, it needs to be a surprise. Two,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: I think this quite possibly opens a small spoiler or
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: window into Sean Levy's movie. Why announce it here?
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Okay? If it does, you think it's going to make
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: an appearance.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking Gosling is making an appearance in Mandalorian Grogu.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: How does that work? I don't. I don't see that
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: happening because so okay, so let's look at this. Gossling
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: is Ryan Gosling is? That doesn't tell me how old
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: he is. He's forty four years old. Yeah, I guess
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: they could like manually manipulate him cgi him to look
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: younger in the Mandalorian and Grogu. But like, there's thirty
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: five years between Mandelorian and not thirty five years because
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Ben was born a year after Return of the Jedi.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: There's thirty five years between Return of the Jedi and
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: the Force Awakens. Yes, and there's forty years between return
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: of the Jedi and Starfighter.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Has Start Fighter been?
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: That's what's in the show notes. It says five years
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: after Rise of Skywalker.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Read ah, yes, okay, yeah, no, no, no, no, you're right,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: you're right, you're right, So so let me walk it
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: back then. No, I won't see I don't think Ryan
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Gosling could be in the Mandalinian Grogu. But I could
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: see there being some sort of.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Are you thinking he's broom boy? I'm using that as
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: like a term here.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: I know what you mean. But no, I don't think
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: he's a broom boy. Because as soon as they said,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: like when they showed the title the Star Wars Starfighter,
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: I immediately said I knew he was a pilot, Like
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: I said it out loud. I knew he was going
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: to be a pilot. I don't think he's for sensitive anymore.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: I don't think he's going to be a Jedi or whatever. Now,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: you could pull a fast one and you could, you know,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: play the the U s his name I Jedi horn Horn.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: You could definitely do that last, you know, But now
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: seeing it, I don't think that's the case.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Well, when I say broom boy, I didn't mean precisely,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: broom boy. I meant like, okay, is he like the
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Spider Man and Iron Man two where the.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Kid oh, okay, okay, and then you.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Have the adult later. All right, y'all, we're going to
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: hit our first ad break and we will be right
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: back in three two one.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: If that's the case. If that's the meaning, No, I
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: don't think he's gonna be in Manda Loring grog But
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: what I do think is that there could possibly be
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: like the start quote unquote of whatever fleet or company
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: that Ryan Gosling's character will eventually be flying in. Yeah,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: like we we see the start of that in the
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Mandalorian Grogu movie or the appearance of.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: I could see it. But with the Republic being based
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: on Hosney and Prime in the sequel trilogy, I don't
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: know if like the Republic takes back over, do you
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: catch my meaning? Like, so, I don't know if those
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: those Starfighter units would transition over Okay because of that, Yeah,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: we'll see. As we have said, Sean Levy is directing.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: It is going to go into production this fall and
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: currently has a release date of May twenty eighth, twenty
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: twenty seven, which is Memorial Day weekend, So it will
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: be a good two months after Star Wars celebration twenty
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: twenty seven when it comes out.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: And it being Memorial Day weekend, that's a great three
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: day weekend for movies.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Correct.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: I think that's amazing for Star Wars to be quote
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: unquote back in theaters. Yeah, I think. I think it'll
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: be It'll be fun. Yes, But well, I was gonna say,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: speaking of back in theaters, we still have a movie
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: that's prior to that coming out in theaters.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Correct. The Mandalorian and grogu the focus of this panel,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: as per the namesake, did get most of the time
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: slot on here. Kathleen Kennedy did come out for this panel,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: by the way, so she was on stage, but Feloni
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: and Favreau came out with So Goourney Weaver and Pedro
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Pascal to talk about the Mandalorian and Grog. It looks
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: like Sigourney Weaver is playing another X Wing pilot that
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: hires Din to go looking for somebody.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go ahead and say it, Sigourney Weaver looks amazing.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: She does in that suit. Now, I'm not gonna say
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: he doesn't look like she's aged at all. Since the eighties.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: But my god, the type of work that she has
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: done to her body, make up, everything else. She looks
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: great for her age, like the the HD photos that
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: were being shared online and everything else, she looks amazing.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: I'm really going to enjoy her in this. There was
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: a excuse me, small clip and the actual trailer that
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: was actually being passed around. Guys, these trailers were being
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: snatched from the internet so fast, and say, we're lucky
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: enough to grab first looks at these trailers not from Adrian,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: but you know, we were able to get them from
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: the internet real quick. We shared them with each other.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: We're like, watch hurry, Harry. So we saw mostly everything
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: that was shown. But there's a moment with her and Grogu,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: like when they're sitting down at a table, and that's
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: all I'll say, because it's just a really funny, cute,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: very Star Wars moment there.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: This feels like what they based on the footage and
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: the descriptions from what came out from Celebration. It feels
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: like what they wanted Solo to kind of be like
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: just a fun Star Wars movie that you can go
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: to theater with and enjoy and not really have to
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: think a lot about it is what it kind of
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: feels like based on that first trailer, So we will see.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: I will say also, apparently the AT and T footage
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: using loose terms here looks awesome for the fight. So
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: very excited for when we get to officially see it.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, the last piece of the trailer, Oh yeah,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: go ahead, go ahead.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: The last piece of the trailer included a first look
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: at rod of the Hut, and Feloni and Favreau actually
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: acknowledged how the huts have kind of been manipulated visually
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: in the comics to kind of be a variety of
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: sizes and shapes and everything, and so they wanted a
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: chance to do it on the big screen for the
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: first time.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: I really like it's it's guys, it's literally a blink
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: and you miss it part of this trailer. The screen
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: grab of that trailer has made its way onto the.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Internet and it has still not been taken down.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that one hasn't been taken down because I honestly
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: think it's such a small moment compared to everything else
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: that I think they were just like, okay, that's that's okay,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: to keep up.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: It's fine, and you don't even see like the huts
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: face or anything. Everybody's just kind of assuming it's like
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: a it's.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Like a worm's eye view, like way back like behind him,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: so you just see him raising his arms in this
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: arena type of setting.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Yep. Yeah, so we will see It's do out in
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: almost a year now, so yeah, we'll see what happens.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: So the last bit of film news that Kennedy talked about,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: it's just confirmation of other films that are currently in
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: the works. I said in production on the show, notes
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: it's just kind of in the works really, So Charmine obeyed,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Shannoi's ray film, James Mangold's film, Taikawa's film, and a
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: new trilogy from Simon Kinberg and not related to celebration news.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: But we did get uh this, I believe it was
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: from screen Rant that Takaw film just got an update
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: because Poor Things. Writer Tony mc namara will take on
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: the next draft of the script for his Star Wars movie.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: A movie that we thought was dead somehow. Taiker's film
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: is like and this is like very harsh to say,
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: but I mean, honestly, if you know what you're getting into,
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: I think you can honestly enjoy a Taycho movie, but
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: like his Star Wars film is just like the cockroach
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: that won't die, Like you get the spray, you get
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: the shoe, you get the swatter, like everything, and it's
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: still just like it's still lingering. I'm interested to see
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: what comes of this because I genuinely believe, like I
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: have said, like Katie have said, like Adrian has said,
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Star Wars works best when it's thrusted into a genre.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Taika knows what genre he knows best, and that is
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: the slapstick comedy type of movie, which in all honestly
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: he can do like raw emotion as well in very
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: small pockets. But he knows his stick, he knows his genre.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: So because of that, I genuinely believe a Star Wars
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: universe movie with his genre could work. Oh so I'm
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: still interested in it. I just don't know if everybody
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: else will be. And we'll definitely see when all of
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: that comes to fruition.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm excited by this. I know I loved for uh,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Ragnarok a lot more than you did Love and thunder Hit.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: It hits sometimes, it misses other times, but Ragnarok was
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: definitely top tier Marvel for me, and you can judge
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: me all you want for that, Okay, I'm just saying
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: it's my perspective. So I have not seen Poor Things.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Poor things.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: I don't even know what that is.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Okay, so poor things, yes, okay, So that this was
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: the time I thought it was. It is definitely a
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: weird film.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: But it ah, okay.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Like rapists and like genital mutilation and things. Because this
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: was Oscar nominated I think for twenty twenty four and
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: I was like, dude, I'm not watching that, not my company.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Weird Okay, So very weird movie.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: I from what I've heard, it fits what TTS vibes.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: So okay, it could it could, it could.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Hit who knows, so we will see, we'll see. To
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: move on to the publishing panel, we're gonna go into
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: our second ad break and we'll be right back. There
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: was not really any new reveals here other than they
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: did talk about the art of Star Wars Andrew, which
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: is for the complete series, uh and that will be
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: available in March twenty twenty six. The other new thing
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: that was revealed, And I'm gonna go ahead and talk
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: about this because by the time this publishes, the embargo
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: is up for way Seeker. So the Full Trials of
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: the Jedi cover was released and it showcases the full
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Luminous Nine plus Ember, so the full Luminous Nine, and
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: they showed additional concept art for this, but the cover
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: also showcases them. So it's l Zar Avar, Burryaga, Bell,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: and Taie and now those were the ones that we
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: knew of. The next set is Aslin Wreath Terarik not
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Serah Terik, and Buckets of Blood and it looks like Aslin,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: like you pointed out, Clay is potentially wielding the Rod
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: of Sessions, I think is what it is on the cover,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: So that's super interesting. But we did also get a
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: summary that they are going to Planet X to basically
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: restore the Nameless. So what do you think about this?
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: I really like this reveal.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: I love.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: I can't even remember who the who the artist is
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: for this cover, but just the style of their art
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: with buckets of Blood just towering on the back of
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: this book. I absolutely love it. And you know, it
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: was just it was just I was just looking at
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: it and when I saw like the pink and purple
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: like aura and power coming off of this rod was
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: when I was like, holy crap, he's not who the
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Olhite Saber, Like, what is this law? So I thought
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: that was really really cool. We had been talking about
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: the possibility of the Luminous Nine die and while you
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: were making these notes. I think you were literally making
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: these notes when you when you messaged us saying, wait
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: a minute, they can't all die because of this character.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: And I literally can't say it because that is in
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: the review that is actually taking place this Thursday when
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: you guys are hearing this.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, technically the embargoes up so we could tell you
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: the character. But I think Clay is smart here in
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: leaving that for the review. But basically, one of these
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: characters is in that book, which means not everybody's gonna die.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So if you remember from the Master and Apprentice
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: prophecy to heal the Sense of the Nameless, many Jedi
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: will die. Basically that's paraphrasing, but that's basically what the
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: prophecy is. So it's like, okay, so is that the
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: signifier everybody going to Planet X is gonna die? No,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: it is not. The other High Republic news piece that
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: came of this is they revealed the last piece of
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Phase three media is actually going to be a one
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: shut finishing off the Fear of the Jedi mini series
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: by Cavin Scott, and it's going to focus on our
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: crew from the Marvel comics and it is entitled The
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Beacon and it is out July thirtieth.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Is this when we finally see eighth Kiev leave?
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: I would assume so.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: I think I think so. I think with the with
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: Trials being over, this being the end, I think this
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: is literally going to be a conclusion, an actual epilogue
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: to the High Republic. Katie. I was a little sad
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: because I was telling everybody and kind of just like
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: throwing it out there into the ethos hoping that it
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: would happen. I'm like, maybe they'll have more announcements on
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: the High Republic. Maybe they'll surprise us with one really big, like, hey,
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: by the way, all these characters that you know and love,
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: we're not saying goodbye completely. And here is what I
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: came the realization, the realization that I came to after
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: celebration is because they literally can't make that announcement because
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Trials is not out correct.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: They have to kind of finish everything off and Captain
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: said when he talked about this one shot in his newsletter,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: like this may be the end of the current with
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: of the Higher Republic, but it's not the end of
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: the Higher Republic. So he's already said that in his comic.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: We also still have Broken Blade. I know, because Charles
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: soul is like part of the creative team for Star Wars. Now,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: there's no way he's not going to publish Broken Blade.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: See there's there's Broken Blade. But like I I think
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: that there is still hope with For one, we have
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: Sandy Comic Con immediately after the release of Trials, not
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: a little bit after, not even a month after. Yeah,
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: so I think that's plenty of time that passes to be.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Like account for spoilers and that anything exactly.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: And then there and then they're being like, oh, hey,
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: here's the Higher Republic. But not only that, we've seen
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: Star Wars and the publishing make announcements at New York
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Comic On as well. Those are two conventions that are
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: still you know, here this year to pass. And we've
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: had both Michael and Tom both say hey, we are
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: not subjected to making these really big announcements strictly at
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: celebrations at San Diego or anywhere else. We can literally
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: make them whenever we want.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: And Tom posted about that again because he responded to
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: somebody on Twitter who was kind of upset that there
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: wasn't any like real new announcements at celebration, and he
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: pointed out, like, you don't often get a live audience
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: to talk about book things and like tell what your
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: story is going to be about. So yes, could they
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: have announced Adam Christopher's book at celebration, Yes, but a
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: lot of time has passed now where they can go, Okay, hey,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: a lot of people have read like the mini synopsis
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: and everything. Let's ask a question instead, Whereas if you
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: just announced that at celebration, a lot of times an
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: audience doesn't get a chance to process things. So I
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: do think it was smart. Adam even said that Master
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Evil takes place very close to the end of Revenge
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: of the Sith, and it helps fill in some gaps
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: from Charles Sol's Vader comics, including one gap he doesn't
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: think that the story group or Soul even remembers about.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: And once again, guys, this book is about Vader search
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: for eternal life, so I think that'll also bring some
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: potentially cool tie ins with the Acolyte potentially, So it's
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: something to definitely keep an eye on. This book is
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: out in November eleventh of this year. It should be
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: the last I'm thinking of the year for Star Wars.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: For Star Wars, yeah, I think so. The last time, well,
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: last year we had oh, shoot, what was the historian book?
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: But then we also had Tempest Breaker at the beginning
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: of December.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, it was the beginning of December. Forgot about that. Well, okay,
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: that is a little bit because that was an audio
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: drama and not a novel. Uh so I think there's
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: a little bit of like, you know, leeway there for.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Speaking of riise and Fall of the Galactic Empire. Chris
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Kipshaw was actually at celebration and I didn't get this
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: in here because it wasn't in the Star Wars dot
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Com notes, but he was asked a question and he
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: said he is working on a sequel, and his hint
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: was rogue to responding, so basically wedgedentillities.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Oh well, I guess I'm definitely gonna have to read
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: that book.
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: Now we again, we we we we are we've have we.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: Have it in the realm of our planning and we've
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: kind of been moving it or whatever. We've both made
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: it very well known that, uh, non fiction is not
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: like super big in our criteria of reading fun. This
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: book is literally written in a fictional universe as a
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: non fiction like makes it hard. Yeah, it's it's it's
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: a very weird so I will probably wait. Actually, I
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: haven't even looked. Have they even made a uh audiobook
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: of this?
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: No, I don't think so.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I thought.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's a different publisher.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so uh, in all honesty, what I might do
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: is I might be searching for it on Libby to
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: see if I can't get a quick read in and
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: if I really start and enjoying it. Of course, we've
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: made we've made it known that, like, hey, I always
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: try to read something digitally before you buy it physically.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: But it is a Star Wars book that I would
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: probably love to have in my collection anyway, so I
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: know it'll make my way on my shelf.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah. From what I've read so far, it does have
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: like really good tie ins and Kemshall wrote it really well.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: It's just it's non fiction and a fiction universe that's
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: like my only hang up really, all right, So moving
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: into the comics realm of things. So Keleron beck On
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: my best character from The Mandalorian and oh my gosh,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: it's the it's the YouTube show which is like the
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: kids training camp thing for the Jedi. But he's going
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: to be the feature Jedi in Star Wars Jedi Knights
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: issue number eight, where he is teaming up with Yoda
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: and other Jedi Knights to fight someone. We haven't been
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: reading that comic because we're waiting for it to come
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: to Marvel Unlimited, so once it does, we will start
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: doing the reedy things the other comic bit of news.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: So we had kind of talked about this when this
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: comic was first announced for the Legacy of Vader, Charles
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Soul had talked about how Order sixty Sex was going
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: to play a small role in the comic, and it
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: looks like we may have found out what that role
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: is going to be with the introduction of a new
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: character called Tava Wren, who is the new leader of
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: the Knights of Wren in this comic, which again remind
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: everybody's between the Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker. She
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: and Kylo are going to face off and Taala is
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: an Order sixty six survivor.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: How do you feel about that?
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: I don't mind it. I think as kind of the
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: canon universe has built out, we kind of see different
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: lifespans going around. I would think at this point she
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: was a Jedi Padmon, but honestly she could be Vernestra.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: Who knows? Like that was a yeah joke? And you
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: didn't even say anything.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: No, I I I like I could see there being like, hey,
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: how do we pull this way into uh in a
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: small little teaser for our ouh Way Seeker review in
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: the sense of we seeing Vernestra have a lot of
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: growth and a lot of different mindsets. Who's to say
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: she doesn't finally, you know, get to this point where
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: she finally realizes, man, Yoda's a piece of shit. I'm
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: gonna go to the dark side, you know. So who knows?
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah exactly so I can't remember which issue she was
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: going to come into being in, but yeah, it'll be
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: interesting to see basically, Yeah, yeah, I know Snell was
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: not excited about this, but he loves Kylo, so he
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: may read this. He may not. Now I don't know.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: Well, and you know, and in all honesty, we've talked
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: about the idea of them going back to that. Well, Hey,
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Order sixty six survivor, Order sixty six survivor, Order sixty
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: six survivor. Guys, this entire galaxy was protected by Jedi galaxy,
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: not planet, not Solar system galaxy. There were thousands upon
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: thousands of Jedi. We've known that there are the unknown
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: regions of this galaxy. There could have been very easily
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: Jedi that didn't that, that had no idea what Order
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: sixty six was until they made their way into the
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: known galaxy. So I'm okay with this. I'm literally as
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: long as you can have the story to back up
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: your claim correct and that it makes sense and we're
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: not just literally drawing back from the well from other
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: individual stories. Because you can't tell me the exact same
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: story of Riva fourteen times. I'm gonna get tired after
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: the fourth, you know, So it has to be a
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: little different every single time. You have to make it
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: make sense. Yeah, as long as they do that, I'm
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: totally fine. Legitimately, I am totally fine with this. The
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: next piece of news we as far as publishing we.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: Have, I think the last thing is the last bullet.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: Yes, Alyssa Wong said that she they sorry. They they
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: had some plans to be working on, of course, some
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: Star Wars stuff, but they could not say anything with
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: the possible threat of Michael singlaning suplexing man, which I
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: think is very is very funny because this weekend is
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: literally WrestleMania. So just using that verbiage was gold. Would
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: you like to make a prediction, what do you think.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: Obviously? Okay, I can't really say obviously, but I don't
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: think is Afra based. I think it's something.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: New, Okay, Okay.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: I would probably guess towards comic related just because that's
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: kind of their strongest suit, that's what they have done
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: a lot of work in. But I would also really
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: be excited to see a novel, So.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: I would be interested in a novel because, like you said, she,
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: they are more known for their comic book work. But
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: I am also going to say comic. But I am
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: going to say a Republic.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: You're gonna high Republic comic.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: I'm going to say high Republic comic. And I'm going
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: to go as far as again because I'm feeling lucky
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: because I am just so good with these predictions these days,
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: I'm saying High Republic, I'm saying Soilandra's show.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: I would not bet on Silandra. I would probably lean
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: towards our Golden Trio. You think so in their Padawan days?
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, I would love that. But hmmm, hold on, hold on,
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: I just want to yeah, you keep going.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: So while Clay thinks about that, I'm going to go
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: ahead and jump into our next panel that we had,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: which was animation saving the big topic, The Young Jedi
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: Adventures show uh will return for season three this coming fall,
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: no official release date, and we're about to jump into
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: our third ad y'all.
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: We promise we'll be right back.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: We promise. Just said this fall kind of showed some
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: footage with some new characters. It looks like the show
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: is really growing. I have not had a chance to
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: go back to season two and finish that off, but
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: I'm also really excited to just see that this show
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: is getting a lot of love and that the High
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: Republic is getting some attention.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: I'm just gonna say, well, for one, going back to
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: Lisa Long real quick, if you look at her comic
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: book work, she has literally only done two characters that
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: they they have only done two characters that are not
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: people of color. Okay, and that is why I chose
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: Solander's shoe.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: I can see that.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: But I love the idea of the trio.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like Alissa would do a
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: great job with the trio, just because I feel like
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: with her with their Afro comic, I just felt a
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: lot of chaos, and I feel like the trio got
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: up to a lot of chaos.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I can see that, but as four Young
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: Jedi Adventures, I got some beef with not only Celebration
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: but lucasfilm. Okay, they not on the poster. They are
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: not on the poster. You give me a twenty year
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: Anniverse animation anniversary. You put everybody. You even put characters
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: that were on a canceled show. You put characters that
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: didn't even make it into actual prime time however many
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: minute episodes you were going to make that show. They
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: made it onto the poster, But you didn't put any
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: of my amazing Young Jedi Adventure characters on that poster.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: Shame on you, Shame on you, shame I love that cartoon.
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: I have also not sat down to watch second season
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: or the rest of the second season Amberlin has been
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: on a very big Paw Patrol kick right now, so
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: like I suggest anything other than Paul Patrol and She's
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: just like no, no, no no, And so I'm kind
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: of waiting until we can get back into it. But yeah,
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: I was.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: To calm mar.
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: But uh but yeah, that that really kind of like.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: I immediately started looking for those characters after because I was like, oh,
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: it's everybody, And I was like, there's so many different
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: types of animation. Why don't I not see Young Ji
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: Adventure characters? Oh? Okay whatever, very sad day.
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but do you want to jump into the main
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: topic of animation panel.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: Yes, this was I think literally first night as far
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: as animation goes. It was the literal first thing that
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: I saw waking up the next day. Mall the rumors
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: of the Mall show are true. The trailer has already
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: been taken down, but it was out there into in
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: the internet, in the interwebs. Maybe some people have saved it,
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: maybe not. But this takes place between Clone Wars and Rebels.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: This is literally the moment, like these moments that literally
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: Katie wanted to see. Katie literally said this, if this
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: show was going to be true, we needed to see
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: the moment that takes place that gets him so freaking
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: riled up and crazy to go to this freaking Sith
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: temple awaiting of course Ezra and our crew and our
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: Rebel Cruel crew. But I think one of the biggest
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: things that a lot of people are really gravitating towards
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: is the fact that.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: This read Twilight makes an appearance.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: This is quite possibly the introduction to Darth Talent. Now, Katie, you,
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: being the Star Wars Alliance Legends expert, please tell the
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: audience where was Darth Talent originally introduced in Star Wars Legends.
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: So this is where it's super funny, because George Lucas
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: actually took a liking to Darth Talent when she was
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: introduced in the Star Wars Legacy comics, which take place
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: around one hundred and forty ABY. To put that into
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: perspective for people, Mara and Luke get married in nineteen ABY,
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: so this is almost one hundred and twenty years later
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: from their wedding, so several generations of Skywalker's have kind
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: of come and gone at this point. But the Sith Empire,
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: which makes an appearance in the Fate of the Jedi
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: series basically comes in and takes over Coruscand, and so
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: the Sith Empire kind of reigns anew and Darth Talent
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: ends up being the leader's hand, literally calling her the
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: Emperor's hand as Mark Jade was kind of taking place,
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: and she ends up training Kid Skywalker in the Dark
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: side of the forest before he fully commits to the
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: Light side. She's a red twilec, which is a very
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: rare type of twilec. I believe it's called a Lathan twilec,
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: but in the Star Wars Legacy run she is heavily
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: tattooed and very reminiscent of Mall's design. And uh, George
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: Lucas actually wanted in his sequel trilogy that he envisioned
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: he wanted to kind of bring Darth Talent and Maul
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: together as kind of the master and apprentice. That it
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: looks like they're going to be in this, and so
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: Sam Wenter even made an appearance. He's of course returning
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: as the voice of Mal in the series, and he
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: teased that they are reusing ideas from George Lucas's canceled
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: sequel trilogy in this. Obviously it would be a change
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: because we don't know a Twilex lifespan. But to introduce
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: talent in this early does change her legacy from Star
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: Wars Legends. But is it a big deal?
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: No, it's not. And this is exactly what I wanted
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: when it came to Legends going into Star Wars Proper.
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: There is such a large span of legends. Granted, would
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: I want to go through those in Star Wars Proper? Yes,
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: so we can get out of the small pocket of
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: Star Wars. I totally get that. But if you want
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: to stay in the sandbox, the only way you can
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: make it interesting is to throw these characters in there.
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: Now again, it always comes down to the same argument, Well,
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: we've never seen this character before and we started in
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: the middle of the timeline, you know, so again, you
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: have this opportunity to write it in such a way.
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: Darth Maul, he was written in such a way that
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: he could be brought back in Rebels. Yep, it's very clever.
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: They made it work. I think they can do the
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: exact same thing with Darth Town.
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think it'll really work. I am interested to
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: see how much goes into building Crimson Dawn in this
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: series versus training the Twilight Apprentice. It'll it will be
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: interesting to see the other thing that I forgot because
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: it's not on here really is. The animation panel did
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: showcase the first episode of Tales of the Underworld, which
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: was an Assage Venturess episode, and it does showcase how
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: she survived from Dark Disciple and taking on that young
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: apprentice that we see in the trailer and the young
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: apprentice that she has. Also mentions Quinlan Voss and how
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: he created the Path. So little tidbits there, but that's
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: coming out in like three weeks, two weeks, so we'll see,
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: we will see.
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: So I had high hopes for the manga panel, yes,
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: and there wasn't really a whole lot there. So there's
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: adapt of Star Wars Thrown and Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order.
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: There were also some pages shown from Path of the Saber,
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: which is the sequel trilogy manga. It has an English
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: translation that's coming in December. There was also a reveal
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: of a Kickstarter for the original a new Hope manga
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: from he I'm Totally gonna butcher this He's Saw Tamaki,
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: which includes a special edition with an English translation as
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: well as a large format Masterpiece Edition. So dark Horse
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: is holding those kickstarters, so you can go check those
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: out if you're interested. But it looks like besides the
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: New Hope manga, there's not gonna be any English translations
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: besides the Path of the Lightsaber. So I'm kind of
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: disappointed because I was really excited for the Fallen Order
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: one in particular because obviously we have figured out I'm
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: not a big video game person, so to get Fallen
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: Order kind of written out for my shelf would have
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: been super nice.
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm looking at the kickstarter now, this is
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: actually the art of Star Wars a New Hope, so
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: it could be the fact that, like, yes, you're going
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: to get the actual story as well as storyboards, concept
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: and things like that, so it is going to possibly
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: be legitimately worth it other than you know, just getting
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: a small little book. Now, I will say with this,
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: I'm a big manga person. I loved the art that
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: was showcased for these three the Throng Jedi Fallen Order,
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: and they also showed another one Path of blod Table,
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: Path of Lightsaber. Yeah, I think they I think it's
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: gonna be great. Now, am I going to possibly get
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: these with no possible English translation, probably not.
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the only one I see us getting would be
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: Path of Lightsaber because that one's coming out in English.
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. Was there anything else in the manga or
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: comic publishing? No? Okay, so, uh you want to open
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: us up with the.
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: And Or Yes, So there was a lot more than
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: what I have written down for and Or, Guys. I
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: just found these were like the big highlight points, and
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: especially with the first three episodes coming out this week, Guys,
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: we have two days left. I didn't want to include
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: a ton of spoilers and interpretation things, so uh, Genevieve
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: O'Reilly revealed that the season opens on Chindrilla as Lida's
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: wedding ballooms. So a lot of people have assumed that
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: with some of the footage that we've gotten the big
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: dance party, that we are going to Leda's wedding. The
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: other thing that I found interesting is that they are
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: going to be exploring the relationships between Bix and Cassian,
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: and also Didra and Cyril kind of exploring the dynamics
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: between those two couples.
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: I am still un well thinking that Deirdre and uh
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: Cereal are a couple like you know. I think that's
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: just a very awkward, uh and quite possibly very toxic relationship.
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: Very toxic.
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: Yes, so I I it's gonna be very odd. I
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: do want to say I love the story of oh who.
• 53:12
  Speaker 3: What's the actress's name who plays Bix, I can't remember
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: her name, Rhonah.
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, her story about what she kept from the
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: from the show. Did you see that story?
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: So?
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: Uh, she got permission to keep it. But she has
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: her like knee high boots from the show, and how
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: like she still doesn't know what to do with them,
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: whether she should like frame them or wear them all
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: the time, or like have them like showcased somewhere. So
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: I just love how excited she was about keeping her boots.
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: She looks great in those boots, by the way, she does.
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: Did you see Diego Lunas with his blaster?
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: No, I didn't see that.
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: So he took his blaster home from set and got
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: caught with it in the airport and had to explain
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: that it was a prop gun.
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: Oh No, terrifying. That terrifying.
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The last thing that I found interesting for season two.
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: For and Or season two included one hundred and forty
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: sets across seven stages, two backlots, twenty four locations. The
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: show also had seven hundred costumes, one hundred and fifty
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: six creatures, thirty droids, and forty one hundred visual effect shots.
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: That's insane.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: Better than the volume.
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, better than the volume.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: But I hope it was worth it, and it seems
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: by the social embargo lifting that it was worth it. Yeah,
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: but just had to say that.
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, really excited about and or that is literally what
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: two days I was gonna say, three days from now,
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: two days from now, So very very excited for sure.
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: Next up would be Ahsoka. We have confirmation that Ahsoka
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: is filming this week, literally the day that we are recording,
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: they have started filming.
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: Not only that, but the thing that they did not
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: necessarily confirm on the panel but has seemingly been confirmed
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: on Disney Plus is that this is also coming out
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six. The banner wild Yeah, the banner
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: on Disney Plus right now says Ahsoka Season two coming
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty six, and this should be.
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: Our final ad break. So y'all, thanks for bearing with us.
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: We appreciate y'all. We'll be right back. You think about it.
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: They're gonna spend three to four months in production, and
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: we thought they had been in production for three weeks
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: at this point, and they were gonna come with a
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: teaser trailer like they did last time. So you're talking
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: they're ending in August, and there's eight episodes that was
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: confirmed by Collider and they've all been written by Feloni.
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: But like, so I guess you could still make it
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: into like Winter Era twenty twenty six, but like typically
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: it's four months of production, a yeu of post production.
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: So we got a Soca this time last year?
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, in August twenty twenty two.
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, August of twenty twenty two.
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: Or is it twenty twenty three, twenty three, twenty three?
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: It was twenty three, because I'm pretty sure it was
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: the same year that I moved here in Indiana. Yeah,
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: just a couple months after or a couple months before
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: I actually moved. So I'm excited for this. I hope
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: they don't super rush this to the point where like
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: it just like just looks horrible for this just for
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: the sake of having it out in twenty twenty six.
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: But there seems to have been a lot of conversation
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: one being that there has been confirmed by the man
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: himself Anakin will be making an appearance again. Yeah, and
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: the reason why I really loved Dave actually gave this explanation.
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: And I'm curious to hear what you think about this,
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: But Dave was saying that he can use Anakin in
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: such a way that he has because it literally does
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: nothing to the legacy of the character in the capacity
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: that he uses him in. Because he said that him
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: and George have talked so much with you know, doing
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: what they do or doing what they did in Clone Wars,
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: that he knows Anakin's store, Anakin's story, you know, all
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: the way through to Clone Wars, all the way through
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: Clone Wars to get to revenge the Syth, and then
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: we see him as Darth Vader in Rebels was still
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: a Dave Filoni project. And then again Dave Filoni is
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: getting to play around with that sandbox in Ahsoka. But
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: at this point in Ahsoka, Darth Vader and Anakin's story
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: are done. There's nothing else that you can do other
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: than play with those flashbacks, play with those emotions. And
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: he already said, like the main story that he is
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: getting to is Ahsoka, and you can't really have Ahsoka
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: story without having Anakin story in there as well, and
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: that's why he's using that character. How do you feel
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: about that?
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: I don't necessarily like that you can't have Ahsoka without
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: Anakin to him.
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: I feel like he probably didn't mean it like that,
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: but in the sense of, like, hey, we were introduced
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: to Ahsoka with the characters that we know and love
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: in the prequel saga, so we're still gonna play in
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: that sandbox to help develop the ending of her story
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: quote unquote, and and that's not a quote for him,
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: that's that's me saying that. So other than other than that,
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: how do you how do you feel about the explanation
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: that he gives.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't mind it. I do disagree that
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: because Star Wars has chosen to have Force ghosts in
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: this and with the Force Ghosts in Star Wars Legends,
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: those ghosts kept learning and they were there to help
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: teach other people. Yes, but the ghosts kept learning, and
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: Obi Wan learned so much from watching Luke and watching
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: over him and interacting with Luke. I don't feel like
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: you can say Anakin's story is over when that character
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: technically still exists. He just doesn't have a body anymore.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: I don't necessarily disagree with flashbacks, but like clearly with
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: the way Ahsoka season one ended, there was a force ghost,
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: so they want to use force ghost Anakin in some way,
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: shape or form. Yeah, So to me, you can't say
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: anakin story is over, so I can't ruin his legacy.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: That is true. I didn't really think about it in
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: that way. But for the fact that, yeah, like I
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: didn't even think about the fact that these characters, they
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: aren't just got stuck in a certain time lote like
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: a certain time frame. They they they live, they breathe,
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: they they learn, they develop, you know, relationships, like we
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: also got that even with Yoda and.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: In Yoda and Luke Qui gone like yeah, so, I
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: mean these force ghosts still hang around and technically, like
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: you could say, oh, well, they have to exist within
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: the force so they have to let go of everything.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: We all know that's not how that works.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: We definitely know that's not how that works.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 4: So especially for the case of the very ending of
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 4: a SOCA, like for the fact that Anakin is there
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 4: with a smile on his face, like he isn't just
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 4: a shell of an individual like that is Anakin.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: They're not just their knowledge their lifespan, like a holochron is.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: If you wanted to do it that way, then you
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: would just make it a holochron and kind of go, Okay,
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: you're learning from Anakin this whole way. But as a
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: force goes, their personality is still there and that's really important.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: And I think Dave forgets that a lot of times.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: M yeah, the other thing, and this isn't really news.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: Let's be real. This is just the cuteness factor. And
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: Dave even says it himself. Loath kittens. And because we're
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: not live guys, I'm not popping a picture up. But
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: they are basically cute little balls and their legs are
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: too short and they don't have enough strength to walk around,
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: so instead they roll. This sounds adorable.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: This is literally something that you would have seen if
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: if loaf cats were a thing in George Lucas's Star Wars.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: I feel like this would be a perfect perfect use
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: for like animatronic and puppets, like you think of like
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: things from like The Dark Crystal and The Never Ending Story,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: and like the type of special like the special effects
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: that they use for that, Like I can even immediately
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: think of how that would would work in eighty Star
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: Wars and I love it.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: I love it too, and Florie said, I have to
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: pay for the show somehow. I'm not disagreeing with you.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: I think this is an adorable concept.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm yeah.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: Filoni also said that Zeb will be in season two
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: of ah Soka because he wasn't in season one and
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: that was a huge mistake, and the Ghost Crew will
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: have a more prominent role in season two, particularly, I'm
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: assuming in the fight between Acbar and Thron.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: I so so. Travis said, wow, that's a hell of
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: a sentence, and there was the announcement of Admiral Acbar
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: and Thron will go head to head in Aska season two.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: That is a hell of a deadline for sure. I
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: love that we are genuinely getting rebels season five in
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: Ahsoka season two. This is this like the fact that
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: we're going to get Zeb and the Ghost Crew along together.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: Dave even said that Hara is gonna have a more
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: prominent role in season two. I love this, I know.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: I like I'm gonna say it here so that way,
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: by some miracle, I'm proven wrong. I can come back
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: and say, hey, you were wrong, Clayton, you were wrong.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: I'm telling the audience and you can't see me because
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: it's not live, and I'm gonna I'm talking straight into
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: the camera. We are not getting Breda Prince Junior in
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: Ahsoka season two playing Canaan. It's not gonna happen. We're
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: not gonna get flashbacks. It sucks, I know, but I
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: know that there will be a moment where they either
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: reminisce or they talk like there's gonna be raw emotion.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: Especially with Jason, Like you can't tell me they're not
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: going to reminisce and zeb's not gonna go Oh, that's
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: exactly what your father used to do.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: Oh. Also just want to also point out Jason was
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: not in the twentieth anniversary animation as well. You could
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: have had the whole family together for the first time perfectly,
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: and they chose not to do it. Yeah, that's messed
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: up anyway. Yeah, I love that the Ghost crew is
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: going to be in season two. Uh, trying to think
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: of there's anything else that they had also.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: Seen the big quote that I have here Rory mccannon.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 3: Oh, yes, it's just h yeah, you read the quote,
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 3: so of course this is uh he is taking over
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 3: Bayalen Skull taking over not I was.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, uh, recast, but of course
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: it's not a recast. He's taken the He's taking over
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: the role. Writing season two was particularly big, a big
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: challenge for me because of the loss of Ray. He
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: was the most beautiful person on set and off, and
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 2: it was a challenge for me to even consider a
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: way to move forward. Bayalen is meant to be the
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: parallel to Ahsoka in every way, a different journey for
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: a Jedi who has been lost. That parallel must continue.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: This also brings me up to his quote of saying
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: that the Mortise gods are still going to play a
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: big role in the next season. They have to, was
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: what he said. I still like this, and also I'm
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: also going to say this, I think it's very convenient
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: that the Mall Show started production and is you know,
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: just in the works, you know, for Sam Whitword to
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: be back in the circles of lucasfilm. I'm just going
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: to say that.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say that, Hey, you and I have
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: both put my put fake money on it.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: So yes, I still believe Sam will make an appearance
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: as the brother in AHSOCA season two. I'm saying it now.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: All right, y'all. So the next panel was Zero Company
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: new single turn strategy game, Turn Base, and there wasn't
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: really a whole lot of news. There was an official
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: announcement trailer and you can kind of see footage and
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: not and everything. I forgot to watch the trailer. I
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: don't have a lot to say about it.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: Katie, this is not live. I'm literally writing down the time. Now.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: Watch the trailer.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: Girl.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: I said, this could possibly be a game for you.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm watching it and this should be our final
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: ad break. So y'all, thanks for bearing with us. We
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: appreciate y'all. We'll be right back. Yeah. Based on that
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: minimal gameplay at the end, looks like it could be
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: too many buttons for me.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, I will tell you this. I will tell
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: you this. I am writing down the time now. Uh.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: It's an hour, ten minutes and forty five seconds. Now.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: The characters of Zero Company Hawks, the leader of the group,
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: who will be fully customizable. This will be the character
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: that you play as. This is your character.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: So is it customizable? Because clearly the narrator I feel
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: like his Hawks in the trailer.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: I think he will be customizable to a point. I'm
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 2: not entirely sure if it'll be. You'll be able to
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: genderbin the character. I think that it would be appropriate
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: for you to be able to do that. I really
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: hope that you're able to do that. But right here
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: it says hawks the leader of the group, who will
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: be fully customizable, luc O, bronc an Umbar, and sharpshooter
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: who hasn't given uh, who hasn't forgiven the republic. The
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: third character Jedi Tellia Tria, trying to avenge her fallen master.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: And the last character is Trick, a clone trooper with
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: a haunted heart.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: Forgot the Mandalorian.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: That Mandalorian character is not on this breakdown, so she.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: Is a female Mandalorian who is one of the last
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: of her clan. For Mooth, I want.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: To say, oh, okay.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: It is interesting because she has a helmet with a
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: T visor and not a why visor, which has kind
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: of been the standard take for the ginger differentiation with Mandalorians.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: Because of Bokatan's helmet, they kind of transitioned all of
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: the female Mandalorians to having that live visor versus the
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: tea visor. So it could be interesting.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: I think that this could be a little bit easier
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: than you think it is. Now, I will say anything
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: with the spin wheel, like you saw at the very
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: end with the gameplay footage, can be a little frustrating
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: if you're not both patient and picked with your choosing
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: of the wheel, because just the way that these controllers
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: are made, you make one small shift with your thumb
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: on that wheel and you could be picking something completely
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: different from what you want.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I ran into that with Lego Harry Potter, But.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: I still think this is an interesting type of game.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: Like I had said before, tactics is a genre of
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: game that I'm really really into. As I've gotten older,
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: I want to say, in the last five to ten years,
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: I've been really enjoying that type of gameplay. It's more of, Hey,
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 2: I can sit and relax a little bit more than
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: having to move every single thing and touch every single
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: button and freak out over every little thing. So really
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: really going to enjoy this game. The next part is
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: what we have here on the show notes. Lego Star
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: Wars Rebuild the Galaxy Pieces of the Past will be
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: out September nineteenth. Now, I will say this, this is
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: something that I did not see out of all of
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: the stuff that came out of celebration, this is something
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: that I did not see. I thought I saw something
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: about Oh my gosh, I forgot her name. Ashley. Yes,
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: Ashley is voicing Ahsoka again in this is this supposed
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: to be a sequel.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: To Yeah, so this is like season two.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: Oh oh, I love it. I love it, and thank
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 2: god they continued with this, this is gonna be amazing.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: I all right. So Billy Dee was not at celebration
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: and was not talked about at the panel, but he
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: posted this on his story on Instagram, so that makes
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of people think that he's going to be
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: returning to voice the Landaloorian. But as you said, Ashley
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: x Stein is joining the cast as a brickheads Ahsoka,
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: so it's not your traditional Lego character role. But Ben
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: Schwartz is also coming to join the cast. He has
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: been in Star Wars a couple of times, but this
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: time he is voicing Jackson, a rabbit looking character who
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: got his basis in Legends and has made his return
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: with Cavin Scott's work, and this will mark Jackson's first
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: appearance on a television screen.
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: Basically, yeah, I love this now that I know that
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 2: it's it's a sequel to Rebuild the Galaxy or or
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 2: sorry the original was called.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: Oh shit, what was the I think it was just
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: Rebuild the Galaxy?
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, Yeah. We had a lot of fun with it.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 2: We thought it was very very silly, very very fun.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 2: So I'm glad that we get to go into that
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 2: world again. The next part of it, in the last
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: bit and the last bit where prediction number two came
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: into Fruition Visions. Volume three release is this October twenty
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: ninth five. Now we get not one, not two, but
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 2: three sequels from volume one, those being the Duel, The
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: Village Bride, and the Ninth Jedi. And I want to
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: go ahead and say not only was I right, but
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: Adriane was right and Katie was right. All three of
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: us said. When I said, oh, this has to be
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 2: this has to get a sequel, Adrian was like, why
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: that one? I would much rather see a Village Bride,
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: And then Katie has said, oh, well yeah, those two
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: would be really good four sequels, but I think the
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 2: only one, or one of the ones that would make
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: sense would be for the Duel to get a sequel
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: because of the expansion of the novel. We got all
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: three predictions correct. That is awesome. I love that.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: I think you're giving me too much credit because I
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: specifically remember saying I think the duel makes sense, but
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: I hope it doesn't because of the novel. I want
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: it to be able to interact with the novel if
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: it does.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: Get true true true, Okay, but still we the mention itself.
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: I think correct is enough. So we have uh, an
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 2: animated series spin off of volume well, something that we
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: talked about and it's not what we wanted, but it's
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 2: damn close enough.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: Yes, I think this will make a whole lot of
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: sense if we get like a Vision's volume one year,
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: and then the next year we get Star Wars Visions Presents,
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: and then we get a long form sequel.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: I would love that, Katie. I think is absolutely.
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: A tone of sense because there so there so what
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: we were talking about, guys is Star Wars Visions Presents,
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: and it is a new They didn't specifically call it
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: anime series, but I've got anime series on here, because
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: Visions is anime and that's what we've kind of gone with.
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: But Star Wars Visions presents and it is going to
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: be where Visions presents a long form limited series based
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: on one of the shorts that has come to play
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: in the first one is the Ninth Jedi. So they
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: didn't say how many episodes it would be, but they
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: did say it's coming in twenty twenty six. So can
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: you just imagine we get twenty twenty five, Vision's Volume
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: three next year, Ninth Jedi Series twenty twenty seven, Vision's
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: Volume four, twenty twenty eight. What do we get next?
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: Like, I would absolutely love this. For one, you have
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: this moment of that you have these small windows of
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: time and I say when I say we, I mean
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 2: Locus Film, Lucasfilm has these small windows of time to
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: see what is more lining up with what the audience wants,
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: like what is really popping off on social media with
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: these anthologies, and that is where they can be like, Okay,
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 2: people really love this, Let's make that a series.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because you think Ninth Jedi was kind of like
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: the fans like Best Picture out of Visions Volume Village Bride,
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: they nominated freaking Oscars for a short film. Yeah, And
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: the duel was probably best perceived by critics because it's
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: the most traditional based anime and was one of their highlights.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: So all three of these make sense for sequels. So
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: what comes next out of those? Like, is that what
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: they're gonna like? They're gonna go Okay, the fans really
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: loved this one, so let's do a series out of
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: this one. And this should be our final ad break.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: So y'all, thanks for bearing with us. We appreciate y'all.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: We'll be right back. I'm excited, very excited for this.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: The rest of what I have on here is the
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: little summaries for each of the new stories. Do we
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: want to go through those or do we want to
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: say this for another time?
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 2: It's up to you. I think that we have a
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: lot here for an episode. We're at an hour and
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 2: twenty minutes so far, and honestly, I don't want like,
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 2: I haven't even looked at the vision stuff. I think
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 2: I like visions more so when I don't have anything
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 2: like any expectations to go on.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like you posted the trailer, but I'm like, yeah,
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: I saw.
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 2: The trailer just to kind of see the trailer, but
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 2: I have not looked at what the story plots are
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 2: for like the very last one, that I see here.
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 2: It's called black Like I saw a freeze frame of
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 2: what the trailer was before I even saw the trailer,
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 2: and I was like, that's kind of wonky art. Really
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 2: interested to see how that plays out, And that's kind
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 2: of really all I want from these is like what
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 2: I would like to know what the title is as
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 2: far as the like what it's going to be named,
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 2: and then the studio that's working with him, And that's right, I.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: Don't have the studio, So maybe we save this for
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: next time and we can kind of go through each
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: studio one by wine with the story. But y'all, all
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: of this information is available. A lot of sites published
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: really good panel Synopsio, star Wars Net is one that
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: we really like. Uteny is another one. I've kind of
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: switched to getting all my news from there. But also
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: Colleier was there. Maggie love It did incredible job moderating
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: the publishing panel, and then she did some incredible interviews
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: with Dave Filoni, John Favreau, Hayden Christiansen, Diego Luna, and
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: Rosario Dawson. So there's a lot of people that you
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: can go to if you're interested in specific panels getting
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: the big details because we kind of just went over
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: the highlights basically for these panels. So Clay, why don't
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: you tell us where they can find you?
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, of course you can always find me at fanboy
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 2: Clay on Blue Sky, on Instagram, on threads, and on TikTok.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 2: I have also just downloaded Blue Sky's version of TikTok.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 2: I might be getting off TikTok. It really depends on
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 2: if things are, you know, shutting down whatever. Social media
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: is kind of stupid these days. Who cares he really is?
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 2: But but of course I've been on this really big
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 2: book kick and I've been talking a lot about that,
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 2: so if you would like to follow that journey with me.
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 2: I think this month is literally the month that I
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 2: have in my whole adult life of reading books. I
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 2: have read the most books this month I have ever read.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 2: With it being four books, I still got a week
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 2: and a half to see how many more I can
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 2: finish off, and I think I'm going to try to
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 2: aim for three more books. I'm insane, people, I don't
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 2: know what I was thinking about it today. I used
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 2: to be the person for summer reading in school. I
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 2: wouldn't do it. And then when they tested me on it,
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 2: I would literally make up every single answer, and then
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 2: when my parents would force me to read over the
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: weekends during the summer, I would literally sit back in
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 2: a way where I could fake myself sleeping whenever they
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 2: came in and they'd be like, oh, he was reading
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 2: so much he fell asleep, where I was just like
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 2: fucking around. I wasn't reading. Like I am a completely
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 2: different person than I was twenty years ago. But yeah,
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 2: I love it. I love the U and I told Katie,
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: I'm also a little bit of a monster. I just
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 2: bought seventeen books for twenty bucks yesterday, and I think
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 2: I'm starting that journey sometime this week. It's insane, all right, y'all.

• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: because apparently people just don't want books.
