0:18
Speaker 2: Hello and welcome back to another episode of Star Wars Alliance.
0:27
Speaker 2: It is the new year in real world, in real
0:32
Speaker 2: world stuff, it's kind of chaotic, but in uh, well,
0:36
Speaker 2: in the Star Wars universe, in pop culture news, it's
0:40
Speaker 2: kind of chaotic as well, as you will hear. But
0:44
Speaker 2: we are here. We as in me Clay and of
0:47
Speaker 2: course Katie like always, and I don't know what it
0:51
Speaker 2: is about your camera or my screen every single time
0:57
Speaker 2: you move your green and white stripes look red and green.
1:05
Speaker 3: They're pink and green?
1:07
Speaker 2: Is it pink?
1:08
Speaker 3: Is it pink and green?
1:10
Speaker 2: Okay, it's it's screwing with the with the colors of
1:14
Speaker 2: my screen, like it does not like it whatsoever?
1:17
Speaker 3: Is it blue? Is it green? Is it white? Gold?
1:21
Speaker 2: Oh my god, no no, I don't want to live
1:24
Speaker 2: through that ever again. So guys, yeah, it is the
1:29
Speaker 2: new year. We have some things to talk about and
1:32
Speaker 2: we have a little bit of planning to do after
1:35
Speaker 2: we cut off the live stream, because like I said,
1:38
Speaker 2: it's a new year. We are going to go strong
1:41
Speaker 2: this year. First off, thank you guys for uh, you know,
1:49
Speaker 2: bringing us with you in the year twenty twenty six. Yes, yes,
1:53
Speaker 2: of course today's conversation pieces we are going to be
2:01
Speaker 2: talking about Lynnwin Brennan.
2:07
Speaker 3: And He who shall not be named and.
2:09
Speaker 2: He who shall not be named, as well as Jedi
2:14
Speaker 2: Knights Volume one, which is available at your local comic
2:19
Speaker 2: book shop as well as on Marvel Unlimited. Yes, we
2:24
Speaker 2: will be talking about that. We do have some other
2:28
Speaker 2: small stories that we're going to bring up as well
2:31
Speaker 2: as far as news that we're just gonna go really
2:35
Speaker 2: quick on because it's not really anything there. But the
2:38
Speaker 2: big news is this whole Kathleen Kennedy news now everywhere,
2:45
Speaker 2: Like if you actually search for this article anywhere and everywhere,
2:54
Speaker 2: of course you're gonna see he who should not be named,
2:59
Speaker 2: And of course who that person is.
3:02
Speaker 3: Nin doesn't get a mentioned in these headlines.
3:05
Speaker 2: It's so dumb. I see here the playlist dot Net
3:11
Speaker 2: does have Lynwin in the article name, so thank you
3:15
Speaker 2: very much. But yeah, everybody else does not mention her whatsoever.
3:20
Speaker 2: And so we felt that it was a must to
3:24
Speaker 2: have Lynwin in the title here. Yes, we are seeing
3:30
Speaker 2: a replacement of Kennedy and all those people. We've had
3:35
Speaker 2: our arguments, Katie, me and you arguing with, arguing with
3:41
Speaker 2: the world sometimes with each other about what really is
3:46
Speaker 2: to blame or or like, what can we really put
3:50
Speaker 2: on Kennedy for the decisions that Lucasfilm has made right
3:55
Speaker 2: and through some other things that happened at the very
3:59
Speaker 2: end of last year, we've learned, Hey, not everything was
4:02
Speaker 2: Kennedy's fault. It was Disney's fault, it was Iiger's fault,
4:05
Speaker 2: and all these other people. So I just want people
4:09
Speaker 2: to understand they need two people to replace Kathleen Kennedy.
4:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, bitches, two people, which when you that that's the
4:24
Speaker 3: age old story about replacing people nowadays, is when somebody
4:29
Speaker 3: wants to leave their job, you have to hire two
4:32
Speaker 3: to four people to replace them. And not that I
4:36
Speaker 3: necessarily think this is a bad idea, because I think
4:41
Speaker 3: it has proven marvelous with DCU that there's a business
4:46
Speaker 3: head and a creative.
4:47
Speaker 2: Head, which I will gladly still to this day on
4:52
Speaker 2: the on the GUA, I was the one that predicted.
4:56
Speaker 2: I was the one that predicted it needs to be
4:58
Speaker 2: James Gunn and somebody else. It's a two man job,
5:01
Speaker 2: and they actually did it. So I'm always going to
5:03
Speaker 2: count that as a win for me and more companies
5:07
Speaker 2: should do this, yes, because just like I'm sure Katie
5:13
Speaker 2: is going to emphasize, there is a creative mind and
5:19
Speaker 2: then there is a business mind. Absolutely take it as
5:24
Speaker 2: somebody who has just started a business. I do not
5:28
Speaker 2: have a business mind. It's very hard. By the way,
5:32
Speaker 2: I'm still looking for a business co founder if you
5:34
Speaker 2: were interested getting contact with me, haha. But I have
5:40
Speaker 2: a creative mind. I have the core idea right, and
5:45
Speaker 2: I genuinely think that Dave Filoni has.
5:53
Speaker 3: Ideas ideas being the key word.
5:58
Speaker 2: Would I say core ideas well, I would not because
6:02
Speaker 2: saying core ideas scares the crap out of me when
6:05
Speaker 2: it comes to the entirety of Star Wars.
6:08
Speaker 3: And there's the key and people. Now, guys, we're talking
6:12
Speaker 3: about this. This is being reported by trades, this is
6:15
Speaker 3: being reported by Scoopers. Star Wars dot Com has not
6:18
Speaker 3: conferred to anything correct as yet, still rumor, but a
6:22
Speaker 3: lot of people had predicted Dave Filoni and carried back.
6:25
Speaker 3: Now they're saying Lynn went Brennan and Dave Floney. A
6:29
Speaker 3: lot of people on threads and other social media platforms
6:34
Speaker 3: have been like, well, guys, you guys, forget that Dave
6:37
Speaker 3: Felony was the key mind behind Clone Wars and Rebels
6:41
Speaker 3: and the Yes, you can say he was there, but
6:47
Speaker 3: he also had George Lucas with Clone Wars, he had
6:51
Speaker 3: other very smart people with Rebels m M. Dave Faloney
6:56
Speaker 3: on his own has not proven him self and you
7:02
Speaker 3: can say Ahsoka was a good stepping point. It is. Yes,
7:06
Speaker 3: Dave Filoni as a creative mindset made some changes with
7:11
Speaker 3: Acolyte and other things where we're like, did you really
7:15
Speaker 3: need to make that creative decisions with Mandalorian book a
7:20
Speaker 3: Bubba fet? Why are we doing these things? The title
7:25
Speaker 3: defeats the purpose of having six and seven episodes be
7:30
Speaker 3: about Mandalorian instead of book Bubba Fet. There's just some creative.
7:34
Speaker 3: He means an editor, and he has not proven to
7:38
Speaker 3: himself that he is willing to listen. He has not
7:41
Speaker 3: proven to me and Clay and I feel confident saying
7:45
Speaker 3: that yes can go without an editor. And Favreau has
7:51
Speaker 3: not proven to be that editor I thought he would be.
7:55
Speaker 3: He has not.
7:57
Speaker 2: Yep, Nope, not at all. But I will say this
8:03
Speaker 2: with the hope is now. I will say this with
8:12
Speaker 2: Lynnwin Brennan at his side. There is no history as
8:19
Speaker 2: far as I know that has Dave Filone and Lynnwin
8:27
Speaker 2: being big buddy buddy prior to their lucasfilm days. There's
8:36
Speaker 2: nothing that shows that we have no history, at least
8:40
Speaker 2: I don't. This is like, these are two entities that
8:45
Speaker 2: I just thought were separate individuals, right, the beautiful thing
8:50
Speaker 2: about the DCU with James Gunn and oh God, oh god,
9:03
Speaker 2: uh m hmm, Peter, Peter, Yes, Saffron, but Saffron. Between
9:14
Speaker 2: between between gun and Saffron, we know that there is
9:20
Speaker 2: years years of partnership. So they are symbiotic. They know
9:28
Speaker 2: each other, they know how to conduct business together. Worst
9:37
Speaker 2: case scenario, which would actually be pretty bad, is that
9:45
Speaker 2: Linn Win and Felony don't see eye to eye, and
9:58
Speaker 2: that I I could see be a bigger problem because
10:04
Speaker 2: then who plays mediator? You know?
10:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's the big factor, especially when it comes
10:13
Speaker 3: to running a business, because you have to imagine that
10:17
Speaker 3: lynn Wynn would end up being the go between between
10:22
Speaker 3: Iigert and Folony and going like this is for the
10:25
Speaker 3: benefit of Disney and business decisions and all that good stuff. Yeah,
10:31
Speaker 3: you have to imagine that's the plan. Yeah, so Felony
10:34
Speaker 3: doesn't have to interact there I'm sure he would, but
10:37
Speaker 3: he doesn't have to.
10:38
Speaker 2: Ye.
10:41
Speaker 3: So the idea of a mediator between Linn Wynn and Folony,
10:47
Speaker 3: that would be the question.
10:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, And maybe that's where somebody like Vikey comes in
10:53
Speaker 4: as like a hey, I've balanced two birds of this,
10:56
Speaker 4: and so Disney might send him in and be like,
10:58
Speaker 4: do it fixed this?
10:59
Speaker 3: Like they're disagreeing.
11:02
Speaker 2: I hope so, like truly, I hope Filoni and Brennan
11:07
Speaker 2: all the best, and I hope this works out if
11:11
Speaker 2: it is true. Again, nothing official. We probably won't hear
11:15
Speaker 2: anything about this until Kathleen walks out of those doors.
11:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would imagine, yeah, we would. Honestly, I don't
11:27
Speaker 3: think be hearing from it about it officially until like
11:32
Speaker 3: a month before it's time. Yeah, basically because then it's like,
11:36
Speaker 3: uh oh yeah, now we get to have fond memories
11:40
Speaker 3: and then all the grifters on social media will be like, wow,
11:43
Speaker 3: we miss Kathleen Kennedy, like where we're her business decisions
11:47
Speaker 3: like m.
11:49
Speaker 2: And guys, we've talked a lot about, you know, how
11:54
Speaker 2: we are unsure about this and everything else, but we
11:56
Speaker 2: haven't actually talked about who Brennan is. So Lennwin Brennan
12:03
Speaker 2: is the president and General Manager of Lucasfilm Business currently.
12:09
Speaker 2: She was raised in Wales. She has worked on many
12:13
Speaker 2: of different things as far as like software development and
12:17
Speaker 2: everything else, but when it comes to Lucasfilm Star Wars specifically,
12:23
Speaker 2: she was the general manager and EVP at Lucasfilm during
12:31
Speaker 2: the titles of Lego Star Wars Summer Vacation and Star
12:37
Speaker 2: Wars Tales of the Empire, Like, she was involved in
12:41
Speaker 2: those two products.
12:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, and she's listed as in several movie credits as
12:50
Speaker 3: the executive vice president of Industrial l like Magic which
12:55
Speaker 3: is for light music, and as the general manager. She's
13:01
Speaker 3: been executive staff, so she's credited on stuff like iron
13:04
Speaker 3: Man for instance, in Avatar senior staff, executive staff, et cetera.
13:10
Speaker 3: So the girl has credits.
13:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we're.
13:14
Speaker 3: Definitely it's definitely smart. Like that is the one thing
13:18
Speaker 3: I can say about this is I'm super happy that
13:20
Speaker 3: they are bringing in two people versus one. And that
13:22
Speaker 3: was the biggest thing that we talked about. Kevin Davis
13:27
Speaker 3: up this billion times.
13:29
Speaker 2: Kevin Davis does put up the point. He says the
13:32
Speaker 2: quiet part out loud. My only concern with Dave Filoni
13:35
Speaker 2: is he isn't going to green light projects like Rogue
13:37
Speaker 2: one and or and he's gonna play it safe.
13:40
Speaker 3: We talked about that with like Acolyte, because he was
13:43
Speaker 3: very hesitant. With Acolyte, is like, the whole purpose of
13:49
Speaker 3: having a fantastical timeline where you can go twenty five
13:54
Speaker 3: thousand years in the past to one hundred and fifty
13:57
Speaker 3: years in the future kind of thing. You can go
13:59
Speaker 3: any where, and you don't need to play it safe
14:02
Speaker 3: by sticking with one area of the timeline and flushing
14:05
Speaker 3: all that out.
14:05
Speaker 2: Yeah. And you know one thing that we keep beating
14:09
Speaker 2: the dead horse on on Star Wars Alliance here is
14:12
Speaker 2: the fact that with an entire Star Wars universe, we
14:19
Speaker 2: need genres. We need genre films within Star Wars. It
14:25
Speaker 2: cannot just be this space opera about this one family
14:30
Speaker 2: and the timeline within that family we need.
14:34
Speaker 3: And that's where separately, and that's where the rumors of
14:38
Speaker 3: the horror show coming into play. Like that's exciting. Am
14:42
Speaker 3: I a horror person? No, But it's exciting to see
14:46
Speaker 3: lucasfilm choose to go that direction. Yes, because those are
14:51
Speaker 3: the things Having a genre film in a universe isn't
14:56
Speaker 3: a bad thing. And I know that you can say
15:00
Speaker 3: that with like the Buddy Cop system, with like MCU.
15:04
Speaker 3: Was that a good move with Captain Marvel. I'm going
15:08
Speaker 3: through my MCU rewatch right now, guys. That's a lot
15:10
Speaker 3: of my framework reference. But like stuff like that, it
15:15
Speaker 3: was a hit. I think it's just a matter of
15:18
Speaker 3: making sure that you're marketing it correctly and going, hey,
15:22
Speaker 3: have you been looking for a horror stog wars? Then
15:24
Speaker 3: this is for you. Like bring in new people. That's
15:29
Speaker 3: the whole point to these things, and so I would
15:33
Speaker 3: hope that these linn Win is gonna go No, we
15:36
Speaker 3: don't need to regulate ourselves to just this area of
15:39
Speaker 3: the timeline. We saw a bunch of posts about how
15:45
Speaker 3: what's his name? Uh? The the logan director James Something
15:51
Speaker 3: and his movie Dawn of the Jedi was announced. Yeah,
15:57
Speaker 3: it was an announced a thousand days ago and we've
16:01
Speaker 3: heard nothing since. Basically, like stuff like that needs to
16:06
Speaker 3: be greenlit because those are exciting and I don't know
16:10
Speaker 3: if Filoney has the balls to do it. I hope
16:13
Speaker 3: Lynnwin has the balls to tell them otherwise.
16:16
Speaker 2: Yes, you know, one it is like until we actually
16:24
Speaker 2: see what starfighter is the Starfighter can be this weird
16:29
Speaker 2: amalgam of being both a genre film as well as
16:34
Speaker 2: like that sweet timeline story that everybody's yearning for without
16:40
Speaker 2: the episodic movies that right now, right, it could be
16:44
Speaker 2: both right now, But I think it excites more people
16:51
Speaker 2: if like when we heard that there was going to
16:53
Speaker 2: be a romance novel within Star Wars, we were cheering.
16:59
Speaker 2: So it gets exciting. And I told you the day
17:02
Speaker 2: that that was announced. We need a complete romance movie.
17:09
Speaker 2: We need a like whether it be a rom com
17:13
Speaker 2: or a actual like romantic films in Star Wars with
17:23
Speaker 2: completely random characters like characters, but.
17:27
Speaker 3: I would, I would, I would put you one better.
17:32
Speaker 3: And if FILOADI wants to stay true to the Skywalker
17:35
Speaker 3: stagger and that's all he wants to play with, make
17:37
Speaker 3: the damn rom com about Anna Kid and Pad cast
17:41
Speaker 3: new people. Yeah, and make a rom com with him
17:45
Speaker 3: like just falling in love over the two weeks that
17:48
Speaker 3: he's protecting her but in Attack of the Clones. I
17:52
Speaker 3: would sell go buy tickets for that.
17:54
Speaker 2: Which does bring up my other points you brought up casting.
18:02
Speaker 2: If they want to go genres, they need to learn
18:07
Speaker 2: how to adapt novels into movies into the timeline. Give
18:15
Speaker 2: these writers the true recognition that they need, that they
18:20
Speaker 2: deserve for writing amazing stories within this universe. Because we
18:27
Speaker 2: heard what almost six years ago now about the one
18:32
Speaker 2: adaptation Lost Stars? Uh, Lost Stars? And where is it?
18:41
Speaker 3: Not?
18:43
Speaker 2: Nothing from it? We need adaptations. You guys are so
18:49
Speaker 2: worried about not Yeah, you guys are so worried about
18:53
Speaker 2: not having your badass Luke Skywalker on screen. Hey, you
18:59
Speaker 2: need to recast a you know, healthy, great actor for
19:07
Speaker 2: Luke Skywalker. Because again, Mark Hamill was interviewed again in
19:11
Speaker 2: the last two weeks saying, Hey, I'm done. I'm a fan.
19:16
Speaker 2: Now I get to enjoy it from this side.
19:19
Speaker 3: Which he should. Yes, the man rest.
19:22
Speaker 2: He's like seventy years old. Let him just relax. I
19:27
Speaker 2: I that's a little overboard. I don't think he's seventy yet,
19:31
Speaker 2: but like I.
19:32
Speaker 3: Think he's past that.
19:34
Speaker 2: Is he really? Yeah, there's no way, there's no way.
19:41
Speaker 2: I would say.
19:41
Speaker 3: Sixties, nineteen fifty one, seventy.
19:46
Speaker 2: Four, Holy Mother of God. Okay.
19:49
Speaker 3: Uh.
19:50
Speaker 2: Kevin comes at us again with box office matters to Disney.
19:53
Speaker 2: Even Starfighter having good reviews and audience support, still bomb
19:56
Speaker 2: at the box office. They're going to focus on sequels
19:59
Speaker 2: and remakes just to make sure yeah it's a it's
20:03
Speaker 2: just like trust me. I think that more than anybody
20:08
Speaker 2: right now, studios are still hesitant after COVID with anything
20:16
Speaker 2: they throw into the theater yep, because it could be
20:21
Speaker 2: anything that, you know, just bombs. Honestly, I was not
20:27
Speaker 2: expecting Zootopia to be nearing the top gross animated movie
20:33
Speaker 2: of all time, and then here we.
20:36
Speaker 3: Are, because people just want to like shit on animated productions.
20:41
Speaker 3: And that's the other thing that Filorni needs to go for. Hey,
20:44
Speaker 3: do an animated flick? Animated flicks have proven to be
20:49
Speaker 3: less costly for a budget, and like you still make
20:55
Speaker 3: bookoos of money at the box office?
20:57
Speaker 2: Do it? Yeah? Yeah, no, no, no. I I think that
21:03
Speaker 2: it is important that as now co presidents to Lucasfilm
21:12
Speaker 2: m they need to truly sit down and discuss what
21:20
Speaker 2: have we not done?
21:22
Speaker 3: Yep? What have we not done? What can we do better?
21:26
Speaker 2: And go from there. So I think that is enough
21:32
Speaker 2: on that story we mentioned, of course, the uh, the
21:38
Speaker 2: horror the game is.
21:39
Speaker 3: In the chat, A game over six hundred million in China,
21:45
Speaker 3: almost eclipsing end Game is insane. People just want to
21:48
Speaker 3: have fun. People don't want to sob at the theaters.
21:50
Speaker 3: People just want to have a good time.
21:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, honestly, genuinely, I think with the success of not
21:58
Speaker 2: only the law long years of Clone Wars, but the
22:02
Speaker 2: continued success of Visions opens the door wide open for
22:09
Speaker 2: Lucasfilm to make a Star Wars animated movie for theatrical release.
22:15
Speaker 3: Really, and like, y'all, I'm in the middle of endgame
22:18
Speaker 3: right now, like literally, I'm this says, I'm two hours
22:23
Speaker 3: into it, and like I've stopped twice, like I don't
22:29
Speaker 3: want to go to a theater anymore and stop, Like
22:31
Speaker 3: that's just not the zone I'm in after the pandemic, yep.
22:38
Speaker 2: And this is something, this is something that I also
22:43
Speaker 2: really need forloney and and Brennan to really sit down
22:51
Speaker 2: and say, hey, what are we going to do about this?
22:55
Speaker 3: What are we going to do to protect our diverse crew.
23:00
Speaker 2: They need to draw a line in the sand and say, hey,
23:04
Speaker 2: this is what we're doing, and this is the way
23:09
Speaker 2: that we're going to succeed through films, TV animation, because
23:16
Speaker 2: without them, there's nothing, Guys, it gets boring. And I'm sorry,
23:23
Speaker 2: it's just it's not good when when we just follow
23:28
Speaker 2: all the grifters, and like I saw this crazy post
23:33
Speaker 2: the other day, the freaking what's uh the others YouTuber
23:41
Speaker 2: that we don't really talk about uh theory? I think, Uh,
23:47
Speaker 2: we don't say.
23:47
Speaker 3: His name on this channel, we don't give him credits
23:51
Speaker 3: either way.
23:53
Speaker 2: I saw somebody said, oh man, give give this guy
23:56
Speaker 2: a job at Star Wars, and it was all AI
23:58
Speaker 2: stuff in his is freaking thumbnails. Like, no, that's also
24:04
Speaker 2: not the way to go. So like that's what we
24:08
Speaker 2: get when we when we follow grifters, is we get
24:10
Speaker 2: AI slop. We don't get any creativity, and it's just
24:15
Speaker 2: going to go downhill from there.
24:18
Speaker 3: So I would rather see if they're gonna pull out
24:21
Speaker 3: AI stuff, that's the day I stop with. I might
24:28
Speaker 3: stick with the books, but I don't think I would
24:30
Speaker 3: ever touch I'm not touching a single film or television
24:36
Speaker 3: thing that has AI attached to it. I trust the
24:40
Speaker 3: authors enough to know the people writing are not going
24:44
Speaker 3: to use AI, and I know that the publishers that
24:47
Speaker 3: we currently have aren't going to use AI.
24:50
Speaker 2: Did you see uh Google sheets? Like I saw a
24:54
Speaker 2: screenshot of Google sheets the other day. Oh yeah, And
24:58
Speaker 2: somebody was like, oh, so this is why our publishers
25:01
Speaker 2: don't want us to use Google anymore. Yeah, and it had.
25:04
Speaker 3: Like you've written eight hundred and ninety seven words until
25:08
Speaker 3: we can have an AI, right just like you.
25:10
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I was like, what.
25:14
Speaker 3: I was seriously about to like just take all of
25:17
Speaker 3: our stuff off of Google, Like I'm seriously debating it,
25:21
Speaker 3: and we're just gonna have to maintain it some other
25:22
Speaker 3: way because I'm not putting.
25:23
Speaker 2: Up with that, like we may have to jump into
25:26
Speaker 2: drop box or something. But holy crazy, Yeah, it was wild. Yeah,
25:32
Speaker 2: but that is basically it. I know we've gotten a
25:36
Speaker 2: little heated on this conversation, but uh but and again
25:41
Speaker 2: Katie mentioned the fact that the horror film is still
25:45
Speaker 2: in talks. Nothing hardcore just I think it was Daniel
25:50
Speaker 2: RpK that just reaffirmed, hey, this is still being talked about. Yep.
25:54
Speaker 2: So the next small bit of news before we talk
25:59
Speaker 2: about gaming, which is also very tiny, we had Sean
26:05
Speaker 2: Levy give a comparison to what Starfighter is, and of course,
26:11
Speaker 2: just with all the hype of Stranger Things season series finale,
26:16
Speaker 2: he says this, if I've learned anything about Stranger Things,
26:20
Speaker 2: it's that you can get intimidated by a scale of
26:24
Speaker 2: franchise expectations, but you will lose your way if that's
26:29
Speaker 2: your focus. I've learned the need to stay rooted in character,
26:33
Speaker 2: in themes and relationships on screen. Yes, there's a spectacle
26:37
Speaker 2: in scale, just like Stranger Things, and of course Star
26:41
Speaker 2: Wars and Starfighter has spectacle and scale an adventure at
26:46
Speaker 2: a level I've never done in my whole career, but
26:51
Speaker 2: like Stranger Things, it's also very much anchored in a
26:55
Speaker 2: human scale, character sized story. I think if I can
27:01
Speaker 2: balance the epic and the intimate the way that excuse
27:05
Speaker 2: me the Duffers have with Stranger Things, I'll make a
27:10
Speaker 2: movie and an original and new Star Wars adventure that
27:14
Speaker 2: can be really satisfying to fans and audiences. Katie, what
27:19
Speaker 2: do you.
27:19
Speaker 3: Think I dig it? I have. We've talked about it
27:31
Speaker 3: a bunch, so I don't want to harp on it
27:33
Speaker 3: too much, But I feel like Levy is my type
27:36
Speaker 3: of creator. I feel like his stuff is just my jam. Again,
27:39
Speaker 3: I just want to go have fun watching something I
27:43
Speaker 3: don't like. Don't get me wrong, emotions still matter, but
27:49
Speaker 3: with the day and age that we're in, I need
27:50
Speaker 3: something to laugh about and so I need something that
27:53
Speaker 3: has a lot of heart to it in that regard,
27:55
Speaker 3: and I feel like Levey does that. So I'm down
27:57
Speaker 3: for this vibe. I'm really down.
27:59
Speaker 2: One thing that we have both said since Levy was
28:03
Speaker 2: announced for this film, before you even knew the name
28:05
Speaker 2: of it, we said, Hey, if he can mimic the
28:09
Speaker 2: Adam project in the Star Wars universe, let's go.
28:13
Speaker 3: Which it sounds like that's the vibe they're going for. Yeah,
28:17
Speaker 3: I'm there opening. I'm there opening weekend for men learning
28:23
Speaker 3: grogu I'm definitely there opening weekend. First.
28:30
Speaker 2: So the last bit of news that I have on
28:34
Speaker 2: my phone is we got a tiny update for Star
28:41
Speaker 2: Wars Galactic Racer. Literally just one word made me go
28:49
Speaker 2: crazy sharing this everywhere from the actual Twitter account saying
28:55
Speaker 2: select your speeder, customize your build master, or your strategy.
29:01
Speaker 2: When I see the word customize, it got me so excited.
29:06
Speaker 2: Now it does say select your speeder, So I think
29:14
Speaker 2: this still needs to be like.
29:18
Speaker 3: That.
29:18
Speaker 2: They need to give us more here in the sense
29:21
Speaker 2: of what does that mean pick your speeder?
29:24
Speaker 3: Yeah?
29:25
Speaker 2: Am I choosing from a select few and then I
29:30
Speaker 2: build from the ground up? Or am I creating a character,
29:37
Speaker 2: choosing what type of speeder I want to try and build,
29:42
Speaker 2: then build that. You know, there's different ways this can
29:46
Speaker 2: really be interpreted. I need a little bit more information,
29:52
Speaker 2: and like I said, I need a career mode. I
29:56
Speaker 2: need a story mode that show that I'm going from
30:02
Speaker 2: you know, rags to riches, rags to riches exactly. I
30:06
Speaker 2: need to be making you know, really crummy bets with
30:12
Speaker 2: like the the people of Tattooede and then going all
30:16
Speaker 2: the way up and making bets at Canto Bite. You know,
30:20
Speaker 2: Like I need to know how far we're gonna go
30:23
Speaker 2: with this. But I think it's still gonna be a
30:27
Speaker 2: lot of fun. I'm super excited about it. I'm I'm like,
30:31
Speaker 2: I literally just put the notifications on for Galactic Racer.
30:35
Speaker 2: Anytime they tweet, I'll know about it. So we'll give
30:39
Speaker 2: you guys updates whenever there are some.
30:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, because like I said, guys, that might be one
30:44
Speaker 3: that I pick up just because I do enjoy racer games.
30:47
Speaker 3: It just it all kind of depends on how things look.
30:53
Speaker 3: So and maybe if I can convince Matt to let
30:57
Speaker 3: me use his Xbox. I'm not an Xbox curly. I've
31:00
Speaker 3: always been a PlayStation, but I don't see the point
31:03
Speaker 3: in buying a PlayStation for one game. So because I
31:07
Speaker 3: only have a PlayStation four.
31:10
Speaker 2: Katie, Brent bought a PS five just for Spider Man.
31:16
Speaker 3: Yes, but Brent plays more video games than I do.
31:19
Speaker 2: I don't think he does. That's the thing. He he
31:24
Speaker 2: just loves his flavor of Marvel and he was like, yeah,
31:29
Speaker 2: I'm buying this all right, guys. Well that is the
31:35
Speaker 2: entirety of the news. And now we are moving on
31:40
Speaker 2: to our review of Jedi Knights Volume one, which does
31:46
Speaker 2: include issues one through five and the free comic book Day.
31:53
Speaker 2: Comic I thought it.
31:56
Speaker 3: Was I thought it was the Okay, it does say
32:02
Speaker 3: free Comic book Day. I thought it was the stuff. Now, oh,
32:08
Speaker 3: All in the Game just asked.
32:09
Speaker 2: Us a question, Oh, any thoughts on the three officially
32:15
Speaker 2: released doomsday teasers so far? That's a that's a Marvel
32:21
Speaker 2: Alliance question. Come on, all in the Game. I will
32:24
Speaker 2: say this. I will say this. I like the thor
32:28
Speaker 2: and I like the X Men one. I like those
32:31
Speaker 2: so far. James Marsden is getting his his his just desserts. Yes,
32:39
Speaker 2: with finally getting the best costume known to X Men
32:45
Speaker 2: and uh, and yeah. I was never a fan of
32:49
Speaker 2: funny thor funny enough. Katie literally texted me just the
32:54
Speaker 2: other day about Ragnarok, knowing that I don't like it, so.
33:01
Speaker 3: I'm like, dude, how could anybody hate this? I remember
33:05
Speaker 3: being in the theater with my mom because my mom
33:08
Speaker 3: was the only one who was willing to go see
33:10
Speaker 3: it with me, and that at that point I still
33:12
Speaker 3: had to take somebody with me to the theater because
33:13
Speaker 3: I didn't have a card at that point. And she
33:17
Speaker 3: even loved it, like that's the only MCU film that
33:21
Speaker 3: she will be like, oh, you want to watch MCU,
33:23
Speaker 3: Like we could watch Ragnarok, Like, so it just it.
33:28
Speaker 2: It just leaves a bad taste in my mouth, such
33:31
Speaker 2: a bad taste in my mouth.
33:34
Speaker 3: For me, I just wish we'd let these people rest
33:37
Speaker 3: and die already, like they didn't need to come back.
33:41
Speaker 3: I'm not that type of girl.
33:43
Speaker 2: The fact, I love the meme that everybody's like, oh man,
33:47
Speaker 2: I cannot wait to see Professor X die for a
33:49
Speaker 2: fourth time.
33:50
Speaker 3: Yes, what the fuck dude, And people are like, well,
33:56
Speaker 3: he's finally gonna retire after this, like this is gonna
33:59
Speaker 3: be his last movie ever? Did you know that, are
34:01
Speaker 3: you sure?
34:03
Speaker 2: Well? It also die for fifth time? Just I mean
34:07
Speaker 2: also Ian McKellen, like with the fact that he is
34:12
Speaker 2: getting much older. Last year he had an accident on
34:16
Speaker 2: stage for theater, Like the guy did not need to
34:21
Speaker 2: be coming back, Like, I'm sorry, you didn't have to
34:24
Speaker 2: force him into this movie, guys. But yeah, I'm I'm
34:29
Speaker 2: still excited. That's the entire reason why I'm doing a rewatch.
34:32
Speaker 3: Correct, Yes, I'm still excited as well.
34:35
Speaker 2: But my question to you is my question to you,
34:38
Speaker 2: you're doing a full rewatch. Are you doing the shows?
34:41
Speaker 2: Are you watching the shows?
34:43
Speaker 3: I will probably just because I'm just kind of having
34:46
Speaker 3: them on in the background as I work. Yeah, so
34:49
Speaker 3: I will probably do this, especially because it's January and
34:53
Speaker 3: this movie doesn't come outuntil December. Like, yeah, So, I
34:59
Speaker 3: think Matt and I have agreed because there's a couple
35:01
Speaker 3: of things that we had, particularly the Blade movies. I
35:05
Speaker 3: think the Blade and the old Fantastic Four movies we
35:10
Speaker 3: will probably watch together on the side, But then everything else,
35:15
Speaker 3: I think we're gonna be on our end because we
35:17
Speaker 3: just did an X Men rewatch for Deadpool and Wolverine,
35:20
Speaker 3: so I don't feel like I need to go back
35:22
Speaker 3: and watch the X Men movies.
35:23
Speaker 2: I don't think you do either. I think it's pretty
35:26
Speaker 2: fresh if you watched it just for Deadpool, I will say,
35:33
Speaker 2: I want to know your opinion on Fantastic four Rise
35:39
Speaker 2: of the Silver Surfer because there was so many people surfer, Oh,
35:46
Speaker 2: you've already you've already seen it, Okay, Okay, I was
35:50
Speaker 2: just wondering if you've ever seen it before. So there's
35:52
Speaker 2: so many people that think that Rise of the Silver
35:56
Speaker 2: Surfer was like almost the end of all superhero movies,
36:00
Speaker 2: Like it was like the downfall of Superhero.
36:02
Speaker 3: Now, Okay, I say that it's it's been several years,
36:06
Speaker 3: but I remember loving it and being like, dude, I'm
36:09
Speaker 3: ready for more.
36:11
Speaker 2: Dune three started.
36:13
Speaker 3: Filming doing three. They're definitely moving doing three.
36:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like for the for the fact that, like this
36:21
Speaker 2: is quite possibly the most anticipated Marvel movie ever since Endgame. Sorry,
36:29
Speaker 2: it just is like I loved Fantastic Four, absolutely loved it.
36:35
Speaker 2: But Doomsday, like it's going to be a monster. Like
36:40
Speaker 2: we talk about so many movies breaking records since Endgame.
36:46
Speaker 2: This is gonna be stupid. I really do feel like it.
36:49
Speaker 3: I I don't have a nice word to say about
36:54
Speaker 3: why they're doing it this way and why it's going
36:56
Speaker 3: to be a hit. Not that it's a bad thing. Okay,
36:59
Speaker 3: I'm not the Let's bring everybody back so we can
37:02
Speaker 3: hit the nostalgia five again. We talked about it with
37:05
Speaker 3: Force Awakens.
37:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, don't don't get me wrong. I know
37:10
Speaker 2: that this is the wrong way to go about it, Like,
37:16
Speaker 2: especially when they're like, oh yeah, Doomsday is a direct
37:18
Speaker 2: sequel to Endgame. It's like, oh so the last like
37:23
Speaker 2: six years literally meant nothing for.
37:26
Speaker 3: Like literally nothing.
37:29
Speaker 2: So it's it's it's it's gonna be harsh, it really is.
37:34
Speaker 2: But let's go ahead. Let's move on to Star Wars
37:42
Speaker 2: Jedi Knights Volume one. Uh and Katie, Now that's my
37:47
Speaker 2: turn to get depressed. I'm just gonna say it. Did
37:52
Speaker 2: we really need this like at all?
37:56
Speaker 3: As like taking the words right out of my mouth
38:00
Speaker 3: to give credit first before before we move into discussion.
38:06
Speaker 3: So our writer here is Mark Guggenheim. Our artist, which
38:10
Speaker 3: I did very much enjoy their artwork, it is Matty
38:14
Speaker 3: beck Musa Bekov. The color artist is Luis Guerrero. Loved
38:20
Speaker 3: the work as well. The art fantastic in that yes,
38:24
Speaker 3: the letter is VC's Clayton Cowell's. The cover artist for
38:28
Speaker 3: one through five is Rasa and Phil Noto for Free
38:33
Speaker 3: Comic Book Day. The assistant editors Drew bomb Gartner and
38:36
Speaker 3: Mikey J. Basso, and the editors are Mark Panacea and
38:42
Speaker 3: Or I'm sorry with Danny Kasm. I love the art
38:46
Speaker 3: in this. We talked about this with the Han solo
38:50
Speaker 3: comic that Guggenheim did. I didn't like that one. I
38:57
Speaker 3: don't like the writing in this either.
39:01
Speaker 2: It for one, I will say, I think so. So
39:10
Speaker 2: this has technically six issues. For one, they don't have
39:14
Speaker 2: the Free Comic Book Day issue on Marvel in the mode.
39:17
Speaker 3: Oh that's so.
39:18
Speaker 2: That's so, that's a problem. I didn't get to read it.
39:22
Speaker 2: But there's like, there's not much to it. If there's
39:25
Speaker 2: not much to it, then there's almost three whole issues
39:30
Speaker 2: that literally did nothing for the whole like book.
39:34
Speaker 3: And that's the This is this is where when this
39:39
Speaker 3: was announced initially, I felt like it was very like
39:44
Speaker 3: what the heck? Because this was announced to be basically
39:47
Speaker 3: an anthology of all of these different Jedi Knight stories
39:52
Speaker 3: that were going to tie into the prime character in
39:56
Speaker 3: this Who's like the overarching villain mm hmm, but basically
40:01
Speaker 3: bringing in a lot of new characters exploring the pre
40:06
Speaker 3: prequel era of Star Wars Anthology staff like, there's a
40:11
Speaker 3: whole keeleron Beck story in volume two. I think that's
40:19
Speaker 3: the problem, though, is that this is supposed to be
40:21
Speaker 3: in anthology and we're following all these different characters, but
40:24
Speaker 3: yet you're telling me that this is all for one
40:27
Speaker 3: over our consorty.
40:32
Speaker 2: The issue. The only real thing that I that has
40:36
Speaker 2: gotten my attention in this story is Qui gon Jin's.
40:40
Speaker 3: Story, which is what the free comic book day of
40:43
Speaker 3: the issue was about.
40:47
Speaker 2: Oh really yeah, okay.
40:50
Speaker 3: He goes to Narshada and tries to investigate the Assassin.
40:55
Speaker 2: Basically okay, so like this whole Assassin story, that's the
41:03
Speaker 2: only thing that has peaked my interest. Like, yeah, in
41:05
Speaker 2: I believe issue three, they go to an unlike marked planet.
41:14
Speaker 2: They meet giant creatures named uh kaijuw something, and I'm like, okay,
41:21
Speaker 2: that's a little on the nose. Could you not think
41:24
Speaker 2: of something else? And literally it felt like three panels.
41:31
Speaker 2: Yeah it was. Oh, the Kaijus destroyed Qui goun Jin
41:36
Speaker 2: and Obi Wan's ship. They ran to bail Organa ship
41:41
Speaker 2: Bailorgana said hey, let's get the hell out of here,
41:45
Speaker 2: and they did. That was it. And I'm like, what
41:49
Speaker 2: does this do for me? And what kind of character
41:55
Speaker 2: development does this have for any of these characters?
41:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, basically, because you're because the story group Guggenheim chose
42:06
Speaker 3: to focus each issue on individual Jedi, you run into
42:11
Speaker 3: the issue of, hey, we're spending all of this time
42:14
Speaker 3: on other like basically a bunch of one shots and
42:17
Speaker 3: trying to put it together into some overwarking story. Basically
42:21
Speaker 3: trying to do a crossover with a bunch of different
42:24
Speaker 3: one shots and it's not hidden, it's not hidden, and
42:30
Speaker 3: this one is only supposed to be twelve issues, so
42:33
Speaker 3: it's only going to have the person the second volume
42:36
Speaker 3: in this. But I'm like, dude, I I love what
42:43
Speaker 3: Guggenheim did with Arrow and Flash. I don't know what
42:48
Speaker 3: happened with the comic writing, Like what is this garbage?
42:54
Speaker 3: You're muted?
42:57
Speaker 2: It really gets me depressed because, like, I know, there's
43:06
Speaker 2: other things that Guggenheim has written that is on my
43:11
Speaker 2: to read pile that just makes me go, do I
43:15
Speaker 2: really need to read that now? Because the stuff that
43:18
Speaker 2: he has been hitting or the stuff that he has
43:21
Speaker 2: been writing that we have gone over has not been hitten.
43:25
Speaker 3: And like.
43:28
Speaker 2: Again we said art gorgeous. I like the art.
43:33
Speaker 3: I genuine the original characters that Guggenheim has developed. I
43:38
Speaker 3: would have rather had a story about what oh gosh,
43:43
Speaker 3: and now I'm forgetting my name.
43:44
Speaker 2: Uh it is, I know exactly what you're talking about.
43:48
Speaker 2: It is, uh, Vetna Mooncrest. I cover right here. I
43:56
Speaker 2: need I. I might actually go on the hunt for
44:01
Speaker 2: every single one of these covers because they are gorgeous.
44:05
Speaker 3: You're super gorgeous.
44:06
Speaker 2: This artist, this artist, particularly for the covers, needs to
44:12
Speaker 2: do a cover for a novel. Yeah, I like, this
44:19
Speaker 2: is just amazing art. It's so good. I really like
44:24
Speaker 2: this character. And like one thing that I kind of
44:29
Speaker 2: rolled my eyes at, which I do think is something
44:34
Speaker 2: that will circle back in the series. They basically made
44:39
Speaker 2: a xenomorph in Star Wars, which is aliens like Alien
44:46
Speaker 2: versus Predator. They basically made aliens in Star Wars. Yoda
44:52
Speaker 2: and Mooncrest fought against it in issue number two, and
44:59
Speaker 2: I kind of rolled my eyes at it because I
45:00
Speaker 2: was like, Okay, Like I think the hype over the
45:05
Speaker 2: fact that like Predator and Aliens are getting their own
45:09
Speaker 2: comic now, especially in twenty twenty five, is when they
45:11
Speaker 2: launched the whole twentieth century Fox line. Yeah or twenty
45:16
Speaker 2: twenty four to twenty twenty five, should I say? And like,
45:20
Speaker 2: I get it. You need to bring new things in
45:23
Speaker 2: order for people to read your comic. That's how writers
45:27
Speaker 2: get paid in the comic book industry. I understand it.
45:31
Speaker 3: And that's where I was like with the Kaiju thing,
45:33
Speaker 3: the Cain like the little easter eggs for sci fi films,
45:39
Speaker 3: didn't really bug me. It was just the overall writing
45:44
Speaker 3: involved where I was like, like, again, would have rather
45:50
Speaker 3: had Vetna Mooncrest as the star character here, because, like
45:55
Speaker 3: they he has a panel where she's like, oh, yeah,
45:59
Speaker 3: the radio she is messing with my implants for my disability.
46:02
Speaker 3: What disability? What makes you interesting? Tell me you just
46:07
Speaker 3: have a disabled character and you just shoss over it.
46:11
Speaker 2: It was like, Oh, well, whatever type of thing that
46:14
Speaker 2: we're searching for the radiation from it is actually you know,
46:19
Speaker 2: messing with my implants. And it's like, oh, so this
46:23
Speaker 2: is going to play into the next part of the story. Nothing.
46:26
Speaker 2: It immediately just disappears. Like she walks into the room
46:31
Speaker 2: full of all this stuff and then she is capable
46:34
Speaker 2: of fighting without any disability.
46:38
Speaker 3: It's like she flipped the switch and was like, oh
46:40
Speaker 3: it was buggy me. Now it's gone great.
46:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like that's.
46:43
Speaker 3: Not how disability works.
46:45
Speaker 2: It makes no sense whatsoever.
46:48
Speaker 3: I don't know. Guys don't tell me. We're in the
46:50
Speaker 3: Star Wars universe. They can do things. Yes, I know that,
46:54
Speaker 3: but the whole point of having a disabled character is
46:56
Speaker 3: so other people feel represented, and by just glossing over it,
47:00
Speaker 3: people don't feel represented. I hate to break it to you.
47:11
Speaker 2: No, I totally agree. Also, like going into some of
47:16
Speaker 2: the other stories, like when I saw the preview, oh
47:22
Speaker 2: freaking' Jengo Fett is going to be in the next issue,
47:26
Speaker 2: I'm like, Okay, how are they gonna play around this
47:31
Speaker 2: if Qui gon Jin is going to be a main
47:35
Speaker 2: character in this story. One thing that like, maybe this
47:41
Speaker 2: is my ignorance as somebody who is still like I
47:46
Speaker 2: wouldn't call myself a veteran Star Wars fan yet I'm
47:49
Speaker 2: still there's still plenty of stuff that I could learn
47:52
Speaker 2: from old school legends and things like that to really
47:55
Speaker 2: start putting myself in that legends or that that veteran category.
47:59
Speaker 2: But like in my mind, wherever Kai gun Jen goes,
48:03
Speaker 2: obi Wan goes as well. That's how we've seen every
48:09
Speaker 2: single Master with their padawans. Yeah, their padawan is just
48:15
Speaker 2: essentially an extra asset to help them along their missions.
48:20
Speaker 2: Obi Wan is literally nowhere to be seen except from
48:24
Speaker 2: issue one and issue five.
48:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's and I get that they probably wanted
48:32
Speaker 3: to go, Oh, let's focus on lesser priority characters so
48:35
Speaker 3: that way obi Wan doesn't kind of have those plot
48:40
Speaker 3: integrals ples, but still, like, you can't tell me that
48:48
Speaker 3: this was what we really wanted to do here, guys.
48:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, now, don't get me wrong, Like we said, uh,
48:56
Speaker 2: Master Mooncrest shocked t like having like issue number one,
49:03
Speaker 2: the fact that Yoda and Mace Windu went on opposite
49:08
Speaker 2: sides of this civil war destroyed these people's like whole
49:16
Speaker 2: reason for like arguing and fighting and then said now
49:21
Speaker 2: you have nothing, now come to an agreement. That was
49:26
Speaker 2: so dope. I really liked it, and I was like, cool,
49:29
Speaker 2: we're getting into some like freaking guerrilla warfare politics and
49:34
Speaker 2: stuff like this. We're getting to the whole reason why
49:37
Speaker 2: Jeni are colled like freaking uh the Guardians of Peace Galaxy,
49:45
Speaker 2: Like I want to see more of this. We started
49:49
Speaker 2: to get more into politics with uh, the Count Dooku
49:56
Speaker 2: and Yattle story.
49:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't wait to see where that's going. But
50:00
Speaker 3: like I also would have rather had instead of trying
50:04
Speaker 3: to accomplish an overarching story, I would have rather had
50:07
Speaker 3: almost true one shots where characters can yes cross over.
50:12
Speaker 3: But I don't need this assassin that is predicted to
50:15
Speaker 3: kill Kuai gon Jin because I know that it's not
50:17
Speaker 3: gonna happen exactly. I want to know the different areas
50:22
Speaker 3: where the Jenier are solving piece in the galaxy and
50:25
Speaker 3: supposed to be doing their jobs.
50:27
Speaker 2: But also one thing that I do not need, because
50:31
Speaker 2: I am also not a child, is I do not
50:37
Speaker 2: need this dark omen shadow story between Count Dooku and Yaddle.
50:46
Speaker 2: I know their story. You even showed us the very
50:51
Speaker 2: first page of that issue, issue five. The very first
50:55
Speaker 2: page was a fast forward to the fight of Yaddo
51:00
Speaker 2: Count Dooku, and then that entire issue was just like
51:05
Speaker 2: a ooh, I need to protect Count Do I need
51:09
Speaker 2: to protect Count Dooku for some reason I don't know why. Oh,
51:12
Speaker 2: you regret it. No, I don't regret it, but I
51:14
Speaker 2: just follow the force, and the force says this, and
51:16
Speaker 2: of course it's so that the timeline is correct in
51:22
Speaker 2: putting them where they need to be to make the
51:26
Speaker 2: empire and all this other stuff for the regular timeline. Like,
51:31
Speaker 2: I don't need that. We already know this. I want
51:35
Speaker 2: all the stuff that you couldn't tell me in these
51:37
Speaker 2: Clone Wars animated shows and the movies and everything else.
51:42
Speaker 3: And like, are those little sneak peaks because I'm gonna
51:45
Speaker 3: disagree with you slightly? Is the front opening issue or
51:52
Speaker 3: front opening panel of that pretty cool to have that
51:56
Speaker 3: reminder of it, Hey, Dookoo's gonna kill? Yeah, Yes, that's
52:01
Speaker 3: that was a cool panel. That's a cool reminder to
52:03
Speaker 3: have that. I don't need it the rest of the life.
52:07
Speaker 3: I just want to see the interaction between the two.
52:10
Speaker 3: You can go, hey, reminder, this is going to happen.
52:13
Speaker 3: But I don't need a reminder every other page in
52:16
Speaker 3: the issue.
52:18
Speaker 2: Yeah.
52:21
Speaker 3: I don't want to harp on this too much. I
52:23
Speaker 3: think it's very clear that we both strongly dislike this one.
52:27
Speaker 3: Other than the art. The art is gorgeous. I need
52:29
Speaker 3: the artists to come back for other Star Wars comics.
52:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think I think, oh I.
52:38
Speaker 3: Might finish Jedi Knights Volume two, but I don't know
52:41
Speaker 3: if there's another Gugunheim comic I would read after this,
52:44
Speaker 3: Like I want to know how it ends basically at
52:46
Speaker 3: this point to like hate read it kind of or
52:48
Speaker 3: support the artist. That's what That's what I'm saying. I'm
52:50
Speaker 3: going to support the artists and read what's next. I
52:55
Speaker 3: don't know if I want to continue reading Googunheim and
52:58
Speaker 3: stuff after that.
52:58
Speaker 2: This is supposed to be ongoing, correct.
53:02
Speaker 3: I think it's only two volumes?
53:05
Speaker 2: Okay, Well that kind of tells you because we had
53:10
Speaker 2: discussed like, oh, this is set up as an ongoing
53:13
Speaker 2: I thought it was alway supposed to be a mini
53:15
Speaker 2: series and then it's only two volumes. That tells me
53:18
Speaker 2: that the sales were not great on this and they
53:21
Speaker 2: cut it short.
53:23
Speaker 3: Wookipedia. Wikipedia states is ongoing.
53:32
Speaker 2: Okay, so if it is a true ongoing, yeah, going,
53:41
Speaker 2: then we should continue, like we should be getting more issues.
53:46
Speaker 2: Currently on Marvel Unlimited, they have up to issue number seven.
53:58
Speaker 2: I don't know how many issues are actually out this
54:04
Speaker 2: year ongoing comic, so.
54:10
Speaker 3: It looks like there's ten issues out, Okay, and correction, guys,
54:17
Speaker 3: I think we said earlier that this had one through six.
54:20
Speaker 3: This only has one through five and free Comic book Day.
54:23
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yeah, I again I dig the art everything
54:34
Speaker 1: else you can toss.
54:37
Speaker 2: I agree II one hundred agree well with that.
54:45
Speaker 3: With that negativity note, yeah.
54:48
Speaker 2: I mean unfortunately, there was not much of anything there.
54:51
Speaker 2: I do hope that like issues six through ten, like
54:58
Speaker 2: we do get like some fun stories like again, issue
55:02
Speaker 2: number one really popped off. The ideas of issue number
55:07
Speaker 2: two and issue number five, they're all really good. It
55:14
Speaker 2: just needs to be fleshed out. And I don't think
55:16
Speaker 2: the anthology idea around it is letting these parts really
55:22
Speaker 2: flesh out.
55:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, and guys. This was pitched initially by Guggenheim in
55:28
Speaker 3: May of twenty twenty four. It was officially announced on
55:31
Speaker 3: October eighteenth, twenty twenty four, with the first issue being
55:35
Speaker 3: published March fifth, twenty twenty five. The events are between
55:41
Speaker 3: the years forty BBY and thirty four bby. The LUCASLMS
55:46
Speaker 3: Story Group asked if he could be purposefully vague with
55:51
Speaker 3: what specific years the stories were taking place, So that's
55:56
Speaker 3: why there's no distinction of where things take place.
56:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes sense because again we see a we
56:08
Speaker 2: see an actual appearance of Obi Wan, and then we
56:11
Speaker 2: have a mention of oh Dooku is a former Jedi.
56:16
Speaker 3: Yep.
56:18
Speaker 2: But we just don't know for how long. So we'll
56:22
Speaker 2: see how the rest goes. We may or may not
56:25
Speaker 2: actually review it on you know, Live, just because of
56:29
Speaker 2: how kind of negative we were on this one. So
56:33
Speaker 2: we'll discuss it and we'll got we'll let you guys know.
56:37
Speaker 2: But with that, guys, thank you so much for being
