- 0:13Speaker 2: are listening to Aggressive Negotiations.
- 0:22Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to Aggressive Negotiations the Star Wars
- 0:26Speaker 1: podcast here on the nerd Party network. That is your
- 0:29Speaker 1: opportunity to delve into the topics the deep, deep caves
- 0:34Speaker 1: of rich unexplored territory of the Star Wars galaxy far
- 0:39Speaker 1: far away. I am John Mills, and I'm delighted as
- 0:42Speaker 1: usual to be joined by my dear friend, my clothes
- 0:45Speaker 1: compatriot Jedi Master Matthew Rushing, who is here today to
- 0:51Speaker 1: once again be subject to the whimsical musings of a
- 0:56Speaker 1: question that popped into my brain randomly just a day ago,
- 1:01Speaker 1: where I sent a message to you Matt and I said, oh,
- 1:04Speaker 1: can you record right now? Because I forget these topics sometimes.
- 1:08Speaker 1: I had to keep writing this down every day between
- 1:10Speaker 1: then and now.
- 1:11Speaker 3: Are you all set?
- 1:12Speaker 4: Yes?
- 1:13Speaker 3: I'm ready, excellent, And.

- 1:28Speaker 1: the Nerd party on Facebook and Instagram. So, Matt, here
- 1:31Speaker 1: we go. I was thinking about the fact that Rogue
- 1:34Speaker 1: One has this beautiful ending. Somebody asked again about what
- 1:39Speaker 1: people thought of the ending of Rogue one, and I said,
- 1:41Speaker 1: and I'll die on this hill. Should have ended with
- 1:43Speaker 1: that shot of Vader iris out and then you know,
- 1:47Speaker 1: like the camera moves would match up between Rogue One
- 1:49Speaker 1: and A New Hope. It would have been a better
- 1:51Speaker 1: flow for me anyway. That then got me to thinking,
- 1:56Speaker 1: we also saw the beautiful Murder Express moment where just
- 2:00Speaker 1: going through slaughtering everybody on the way to it just
- 2:03Speaker 1: every like, no matter what you felt about Rogue one,
- 2:06Speaker 1: everybody loves that scene.
- 2:07Speaker 3: Everybody thinks it's the greatest.
- 2:09Speaker 1: But I paus it to you this now, at the
- 2:12Speaker 1: end of A New Hope, Vader's ship is slightly damaged
- 2:16Speaker 1: and he writes it and then he flies off into space.
- 2:19Speaker 1: Did he have hyperdrive? Was he just able to keep
- 2:22Speaker 1: going for the fact that he was a sith lord
- 2:26Speaker 1: and he just sustained himself all of those sorts of things.
- 2:29Speaker 1: But have we now entered a point where we should
- 2:34Speaker 1: be asking ourselves the question of why didn't Vader fly
- 2:38Speaker 1: to Yavin four and just start lopping heads off.
- 2:44Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good question. I wonder if part of
- 2:47Speaker 4: that is, yeah, we saw what Vader could do in
- 2:52Speaker 4: the hallway, but you think of the hundreds and possibly
- 2:55Speaker 4: thousands of people right that are Yavin most likely thousands
- 2:58Speaker 4: at this point, especially what we saw with the end
- 3:01Speaker 4: of Rogue one, there's probably at least a thousand people there,
- 3:04Speaker 4: if not maybe fifteen hundred or so. And you know,
- 3:07Speaker 4: Vader can't take all of them down. You know, we
- 3:10Speaker 4: saw at the end of the Clone Wars, right that
- 3:13Speaker 4: Jedi Masters were taken down by clones and very few
- 3:20Speaker 4: of them survived, right, And so yes, I know Vader
- 3:26Speaker 4: has an incredible amount of power and all those type
- 3:28Speaker 4: of things, but I don't think that he could take
- 3:32Speaker 4: on every single one of the rebels on Yavin four
- 3:36Speaker 4: and still live. He might take a lot of them out,
- 3:41Speaker 4: But I also wonder, and this is something I would
- 3:47Speaker 4: pause it here. I think that the moment that the
- 3:49Speaker 4: Death Star is blown up, you know, and then they
- 3:56Speaker 4: have the celebration, like I think they abandon Yavin for ever,
- 4:00Speaker 4: like never go back because the Empire knows where it is,
- 4:04Speaker 4: right sure, so of course, so that that's definitely there.
- 4:07Speaker 4: But I mean, he could, I think, have gone to
- 4:10Speaker 4: Yavin and cause some some mayhem, for sure, But I'm
- 4:14Speaker 4: guessing he just thinks, well, we live to fight another day,
- 4:18Speaker 4: you know, we'll we'll take these guys down and we'll
- 4:23Speaker 4: figure it out, which probably plays into, you know, something
- 4:28Speaker 4: that we see then at the end, at the Empire
- 4:31Speaker 4: strikes back right like that, we actually see that the
- 4:35Speaker 4: rebels are really struggling.
- 4:38Speaker 3: Uh, Well, the fleet is the fleet is still not
- 4:41Speaker 3: on Hawth.
- 4:41Speaker 1: They've at least learned the lesson after Yavin of not
- 4:44Speaker 1: gathering everybody in one place, and and so they have
- 4:47Speaker 1: all the different cells out there. And then we later
- 4:51Speaker 1: hear there's there's a line that everybody overlooks from Return
- 4:55Speaker 1: of the Jedi, what are the reports of the rebel
- 4:56Speaker 1: fleet massing near sullist Uh and the Emperor saying it
- 5:00Speaker 1: is no concern, right, because of course the Emperor has
- 5:02Speaker 1: traps within traps sort of thing going on. But I'm
- 5:05Speaker 1: going to county a little bit with the Yavin think
- 5:07Speaker 1: because most if we go with continuity here, most everybody
- 5:12Speaker 1: who was in the fleet that attacked at Scariff fled.
- 5:17Speaker 3: They didn't go back to Yavon for So what was
- 5:20Speaker 3: left back at yavin for was.
- 5:24Speaker 1: The necessary token force, the people that couldn't leave, the
- 5:28Speaker 1: equipment that they couldn't move because it was a snap
- 5:31Speaker 1: decision to attack. But and they of course had fighters
- 5:34Speaker 1: around and everything like that, but they didn't have everybody.
- 5:38Speaker 1: There wasn't actually enough for a large scale assault on
- 5:42Speaker 1: the Death Star, and Vader couldn't have landed, gotten out
- 5:49Speaker 1: and slowly gone through and like killed everybody. But he
- 5:52Speaker 1: could have opened up with some strafing runs. Sure, there
- 5:55Speaker 1: weren't enough people there. There weren't enough people there to
- 6:00Speaker 1: mount an actual defense of a really gifted pilot, because
- 6:06Speaker 1: we've also seen in Rebels that he can show up
- 6:09Speaker 1: and take out a small bash of ships, including cruisers
- 6:13Speaker 1: without even breaking a sweat, yeah, which would be uncomfortable
- 6:17Speaker 1: in all leather.
- 6:18Speaker 3: Anyway, I think.
- 6:20Speaker 4: He's got a cooling system in there.
- 6:21Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure he has to.
- 6:24Speaker 1: There's no choice, although I mean, can he even sweat
- 6:26Speaker 1: anymore is the question because all were sealed now, so
- 6:29Speaker 1: exactly would have been very difficult. But anyway, we digress
- 6:33Speaker 1: as usual as usual, So I still like, I think
- 6:38Speaker 1: that one way I can get there. Let me throw
- 6:41Speaker 1: this idea out at you, is we know that Lucas
- 6:44Speaker 1: gets friskier and friskier as the movies go on, playing
- 6:47Speaker 1: with figurative time at the end as opposed to literal time.
- 6:51Speaker 1: So is it possible that I'm just reading it too literally?
- 6:56Speaker 1: Right now that Vader is flying away, then we go
- 6:59Speaker 1: back to Yavin what we're actually seeing as we're seeing
- 7:02Speaker 1: Vader getting control of his ship after the better part
- 7:05Speaker 1: of like six hours or something like that, so the
- 7:07Speaker 1: rebels have had time to take a breather and start
- 7:09Speaker 1: moving on, and by the time he gets control of
- 7:11Speaker 1: his ship, there's no point in him going back because
- 7:13Speaker 1: they've already left or they're at least on guard for him.
- 7:16Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 7:16Speaker 4: I mean, I also think, you know, with with the
- 7:20Speaker 4: Death Star blowing up and Vader being in the vicinity,
- 7:25Speaker 4: having a ship that obviously is damaged, you know, I mean,
- 7:28Speaker 4: he's knocked out of the trench by the shot that
- 7:33Speaker 4: Han Solo takes right with the Falcon, and so both.
- 7:37Speaker 1: He's knocked out by he's knocked out by the panicky
- 7:39Speaker 1: pilot the shot destroys the tie fighter and then the
- 7:42Speaker 1: panicly panicky pilot says yeah, look out, and then yeah,
- 7:45Speaker 1: clips him.
- 7:46Speaker 3: Right.
- 7:47Speaker 4: So, but what I'm saying is those those two, those
- 7:50Speaker 4: two things combined. Uh, my guess is that honestly, Vader's
- 7:55Speaker 4: ship is damaged two and more damage than we're aware of.
- 8:02Speaker 4: So him getting control of it and kind of like
- 8:04Speaker 4: limping away what we see is most likely, you know,
- 8:09Speaker 4: at that point, him calling for help to come and
- 8:15Speaker 4: get him. And again, I think it's for him at
- 8:19Speaker 4: that moment. I'm guessing his mindset is survival and making
- 8:25Speaker 4: sure he fights another day, and I think he's positive
- 8:29Speaker 4: that he's going to be able to do so. But
- 8:33Speaker 4: I like the thought honestly that it's his overconfidence is
- 8:39Speaker 4: like I'm going to come back bigger and stronger, and
- 8:41Speaker 4: I'm going to stamp these people out, which is kind
- 8:44Speaker 4: of the attitude I feel like I see in Empire
- 8:47Speaker 4: Strikes Back, where he is no holds barred. At that point,
- 8:50Speaker 4: he's writing the Executor, right, you know, he's he is
- 8:56Speaker 4: in full control, and you know, you know, on See
- 9:00Speaker 4: he comes very close to pulling off a major victory
- 9:04Speaker 4: on on Hath because he's almost able to catch leah
- 9:09Speaker 4: Ann Han. You know, if it wasn't for you know,
- 9:15Speaker 4: the falcon being kick started.
- 9:18Speaker 3: Those pesky smugglers.
- 9:20Speaker 4: So yes, he he wins a major victory there and
- 9:25Speaker 4: so and yeah, you know, again the the I'm kind
- 9:31Speaker 4: of playing with all the information we have instead of
- 9:35Speaker 4: just in that moment. But it's like, yeah, the the
- 9:39Speaker 4: the rebels are, you know, they have their fleet in
- 9:43Speaker 4: one place, at their base in another right, but they're
- 9:46Speaker 4: definitely struggling. They have suffered a lot of losses because
- 9:49Speaker 4: of Vader's fury that he has just kind of unleashed
- 9:54Speaker 4: for you know, the last what is it, like three
- 9:56Speaker 4: years I think has passed something like that, Like that
- 10:00Speaker 4: is supposedly what's passed.
- 10:02Speaker 3: So yeah, well it's never set on screen. We accepted
- 10:06Speaker 3: it now.
- 10:06Speaker 1: We just kind of like yeah, because then it was
- 10:11Speaker 1: three years between the release of Empire and Jedi, but
- 10:13Speaker 1: then we were later told no, it's a one year,
- 10:15Speaker 1: and I maintain it's actually kind of instantaneous. But whatever, whatever,
- 10:19Speaker 1: the different topic, different day, and I think we've talked
- 10:21Speaker 1: about that before. But the thing is, while we're sitting
- 10:25Speaker 1: here having this discussion, I'm actually kicking down this idea
- 10:30Speaker 1: where Vader goes off. It's not immediate, you know, it's
- 10:34Speaker 1: a little bit figurative. Vader's flying off. It's you know,
- 10:37Speaker 1: a few hours later, we go back because we want
- 10:38Speaker 1: to end with the big victory celebration and everything like that.
- 10:42Speaker 1: But Vader goes off. I would love to see on
- 10:47Speaker 1: screen animated, maybe the idea that Vader gets back in
- 10:51Speaker 1: contact with the fleet faster than we might think he does,
- 10:55Speaker 1: and they show up with a fleet to Yea and
- 11:00Speaker 1: the rebels have already schedoodled, and we just see the
- 11:04Speaker 1: full might of Star Destroyers just pummel the crap out
- 11:08Speaker 1: of that moon and basically d forest Yavin Four like
- 11:13Speaker 1: whatever happened to Yavin Four after Star Wars. I think
- 11:17Speaker 1: that could be an interesting thing where we see that
- 11:19Speaker 1: fury you're talking about, where Vader just takes it out
- 11:21Speaker 1: on the planet to punish, you know, like he can't
- 11:25Speaker 1: destroy them, so he destroys every last vestige of where
- 11:29Speaker 1: they hid and stuff like that.
- 11:31Speaker 4: Well, it does make me wonder, and I like what
- 11:33Speaker 4: you're saying there because what I'm thinking right is that
- 11:38Speaker 4: there the opening crawl of Empire makes it pretty clear
- 11:45Speaker 4: that they have not had a good three years, right,
- 11:49Speaker 4: the rebels they have been on constantly on the run,
- 11:52Speaker 4: and you know, hath was their first time in it
- 11:58Speaker 4: seemed like forever that they like they might have some
- 12:01Speaker 4: sort of a stable situation. And so what you're saying
- 12:05Speaker 4: makes me think what we don't see is, you know,
- 12:09Speaker 4: Vader calls for help, basically gets the fleet. They might
- 12:14Speaker 4: make it off Yavin, but from that moment on, they're
- 12:20Speaker 4: just being hunted like dogs, you know, right, I mean,
- 12:23Speaker 4: they're just being hunted and it doesn't really end.
- 12:27Speaker 2: And so.
- 12:29Speaker 4: I think your thought process about Vader calling the fleet
- 12:33Speaker 4: and that happening much more quickly than we might think
- 12:35Speaker 4: it does, actually makes sense with what we know from Empire.
- 12:40Speaker 1: Or maybe there's even because maybe we could even make
- 12:44Speaker 1: it more interesting that Vader goes on this hunt and
- 12:47Speaker 1: at first he's pummeling planets, but then he realizes somehow
- 12:51Speaker 1: or he gets a sense, he hears the name Skywalker, and
- 12:55Speaker 1: that's the moment where we switch from pummeling planets and
- 12:58Speaker 1: bombardment to add at Walker's and precision strikes. Because that's
- 13:04Speaker 1: the thing that people forget about Empire as well, is oh,
- 13:07Speaker 1: why did they use these Walkers, they're slow. It's like, well, okay,
- 13:09Speaker 1: there's a deflector shield, they have to get under it,
- 13:11Speaker 1: all those sorts of things. But additionally, I think Vader
- 13:15Speaker 1: knowing he wants to get Luke means he's going to
- 13:18Speaker 1: be more restrained in his tactic. He's not going to
- 13:21Speaker 1: go scorched Earth on Hawth. He's got to get Luke
- 13:26Speaker 1: out of there. He's got to make sure that no
- 13:28Speaker 1: matter how bad he pummels them, he leaves space for
- 13:31Speaker 1: Skywalker to live. And unless he believes it destroying it,
- 13:39Speaker 1: unless he believes that destroying it means that if Luke
- 13:44Speaker 1: is meant to survive, he survives, and if he doesn't,
- 13:46Speaker 1: he doesn't. So what sort of thing whatever putting that
- 13:50Speaker 1: to the side. So I think we're both in agreement
- 13:52Speaker 1: that Vader's at least in a position after a new
- 13:58Speaker 1: hope at the end not to go back for whatever
- 14:01Speaker 1: reason we want to give. Like you said, the Fighter's
- 14:03Speaker 1: more damage than we think I would throw out there
- 14:09Speaker 1: as well, what do you give Do you give any
- 14:12Speaker 1: credence to the thought that once the Death Star is destroyed,
- 14:18Speaker 1: that first initial shockwaves shift in the force of the
- 14:22Speaker 1: balance between dark and light gets disrupted because at that point,
- 14:27Speaker 1: up until Star Wars a New Hope, the Dark Side
- 14:31Speaker 1: is very dominant, and then all of a sudden, the
- 14:34Speaker 1: scales are thrown out of balance again, and all of
- 14:37Speaker 1: a sudden, in that moment, the Light Side becomes resurgent,
- 14:42Speaker 1: and maybe Vader feels a little weaker, maybe it weirds
- 14:45Speaker 1: them out a little bit. I mean, for all we
- 14:47Speaker 1: know that did play a factor. What kind of do
- 14:51Speaker 1: you give that any sort of creed?
- 14:53Speaker 4: No, I think that's an excellent thought process, right that.
- 14:57Speaker 4: I mean, obviously, when we look at the end of
- 15:01Speaker 4: Star Wars, Luke is told by Oiwan Kenobi through the
- 15:05Speaker 4: Force to use the force, to trust the force, right,
- 15:09Speaker 4: and that's exactly what he does, and that's what enables
- 15:12Speaker 4: him to take the one in a million shot, that's
- 15:15Speaker 4: what helps destroy the Death Star. And I do think
- 15:18Speaker 4: in that moment there is a reverberation through the force
- 15:23Speaker 4: that Vader can feel, that the Emperor can feel that
- 15:26Speaker 4: anybody who's force sensitive would be able to feel, because
- 15:29Speaker 4: there has been a shift in that sense. And I
- 15:32Speaker 4: think you rightly pinpoint. Up to that point, the dark
- 15:37Speaker 4: Side has been dominant. There hasn't been anything getting really
- 15:41Speaker 4: in the way of that. And yet you know, you
- 15:47Speaker 4: think about all of the things that have begun to
- 15:54Speaker 4: domino effect, which are you know, what we saw in Rebels,
- 15:59Speaker 4: right with the Empire being kicked off the fall, we
- 16:03Speaker 4: have what happens on and or with the leaving of
- 16:07Speaker 4: Manmathma from the Senate, that whole thing that happens there
- 16:11Speaker 4: on Corusant itself, and then the moment she gives her
- 16:15Speaker 4: speech twice, you know, once in the chamber and then
- 16:18Speaker 4: of course wants to call rebels to her aid. And
- 16:21Speaker 4: then what happens with the Yavin four and then the
- 16:25Speaker 4: Death Star and Luke Skywalker blowing up the Death Star, right,
- 16:30Speaker 4: And so I think that cascade of events creates that reverberation,
- 16:38Speaker 4: like it's like it kind of starts with what we
- 16:41Speaker 4: see in Rebels and just continues to build and build
- 16:44Speaker 4: and build until it almost is an explosion as big
- 16:48Speaker 4: as the Death Star blowing up, but in the spiritual realm, right.
- 16:51Speaker 4: And so I love that you bring that up because
- 16:53Speaker 4: I think you've really pinpointed something perfect.
- 16:57Speaker 1: And maybe we could then take that and extrapolate that
- 17:00Speaker 1: and say Vader's first instinct would have been to contact
- 17:04Speaker 1: the Emperor while he's in there, and the Emperor, who's
- 17:09Speaker 1: wiser in the ways of the forest, Invader Vader's like,
- 17:13Speaker 1: I'm I'm going to fly around and I'm going to
- 17:15Speaker 1: turn back. I know where these these a holes live.
- 17:18Speaker 1: I'm going to blow them up. And the Emperor says,
- 17:21Speaker 1: didn't you just feel that? No, you you come back here,
- 17:26Speaker 1: and you you get with me, and we're going to
- 17:29Speaker 1: do something special. So like that reverberation, Vader very very wilful,
- 17:38Speaker 1: very impetuous. I could see it being then that he
- 17:41Speaker 1: calls the Emperor and the Emperor is like, no, you dummy,
- 17:44Speaker 1: You're going to lose if you go right now. We
- 17:46Speaker 1: gotta we gotta, you know, commit some evil to get
- 17:49Speaker 1: the dark side resurgent in this moment again sort of thing.
- 17:53Speaker 4: Well, so, and I think the Emperor doesn't foresee the
- 17:58Speaker 4: Death Star being destroyed.
- 18:00Speaker 3: I would imagine that, and.
- 18:02Speaker 4: So therefore this is a kick in the nerds to
- 18:07Speaker 4: both of them, right, I mean, the force nerds are
- 18:12Speaker 4: ringing in their bodies right now because something they did
- 18:16Speaker 4: never see coming happened. And so I really like this
- 18:22Speaker 4: idea that that is one of the biggest reasons for
- 18:31Speaker 4: Vader to not try something so risky, because not only
- 18:37Speaker 4: is he reeling figuratively and literally in his ship as
- 18:41Speaker 4: he tries to get control of it, but that spiritual
- 18:45Speaker 4: reeling of Okay, something just happened in the force that
- 18:52Speaker 4: I did not expect. And not only that, but you
- 18:55Speaker 4: think of on top of that, you just had Vader
- 19:02Speaker 4: take down Obi Wan Kenobi hours before this, you know,
- 19:06Speaker 4: and yet Obi Wan disappears. He doesn't, you know, Vader
- 19:12Speaker 4: realizes he didn't kill him, he disappeared. So I think
- 19:16Speaker 4: there's that on top of it as well, And so
- 19:19Speaker 4: I could totally imagine Vader kind of being really off
- 19:23Speaker 4: his game, you know.
- 19:25Speaker 3: Well, I mean he's supposed to be. That is his moment.
- 19:29Speaker 1: He is supposed to overthrow the Emperor. He's been given
- 19:33Speaker 1: the Death Star, he's killed Obi Wan Kenobi, He's finally
- 19:37Speaker 1: ready to ascend and become the dark Lord of the Sith,
- 19:42Speaker 1: which I think then also throws in a very fascinating
- 19:46Speaker 1: aspect to look at in terms of did he already
- 19:49Speaker 1: have an apprentice, a secret apprentice waiting to pop out?
- 19:54Speaker 1: And there are so many story possibilities here. I almost
- 19:59Speaker 1: want to beg the animation department too, I don't think
- 20:02Speaker 1: live action is ever going to fulfill us here, but
- 20:05Speaker 1: I think we're we're spinning a couple of really interesting
- 20:07Speaker 1: like tales of Vader. Yeah, you know, little fifteen minute
- 20:11Speaker 1: ones where we get those little tastes. Yeah, what's going
- 20:13Speaker 1: on here?
- 20:14Speaker 4: Tails of Vader, Disney free idea, tales of Vader.
- 20:17Speaker 1: I think tales of Vader. I think tales of Obsidious
- 20:22Speaker 1: would be great tail. I mean, we've had tales of
- 20:24Speaker 1: the Jedi. Tales of the Sith.
- 20:26Speaker 3: Would just be a fascinating one. Yeah.
- 20:29Speaker 1: Well, anyway, now we're we're spitballing all of these ideas,
- 20:33Speaker 1: but I mean just giving them.
- 20:35Speaker 4: Away for free, Disney giving them away for free.
- 20:38Speaker 1: I mean, come on, now, I know that at some
- 20:41Speaker 1: point somebody read my blog because I made a joke
- 20:44Speaker 1: post about how somebody screaming no was only missing from
- 20:48Speaker 1: Return of the Jedi, and then whoo, just a little
- 20:51Speaker 1: bit later, Vader screaming no in Return of the Jedi.
- 20:54Speaker 1: So for all of you people that, for all of
- 20:56Speaker 1: you people that don't like that, I'd say, you have
- 20:59Speaker 1: me to thank for it, because I was. I was
- 21:01Speaker 1: ahead of the curve on that one. You're welcome and
- 21:04Speaker 1: I like it, so I've gotten Just as a side note,
- 21:09Speaker 1: Nerd Party co founder Tristan Riddell hates that I love
- 21:13Speaker 1: Vader shouting no in Return of the Jedi, So I'm
- 21:17Speaker 1: just calling him out there.
- 21:18Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I mean I would like to say that,
- 21:21Speaker 5: you know, as much as I too love Tristan and
- 21:25Speaker 5: also co founder of the nerd Party, you know, he's
- 21:29Speaker 5: frequently wrong about things, and this is definitely one of
- 21:33Speaker 5: the things that I believe him to be wrong about
- 21:35Speaker 5: as well.
- 21:35Speaker 4: So I mean, I hate to have him ganged up
- 21:37Speaker 4: here without his being able to defend himself. But you know,
- 21:40Speaker 4: he has a lot of bad opinions on house Lights,
- 21:43Speaker 4: and so I mean, this is our revenge.
- 21:46Speaker 1: You know, it's funny you mentioned house lights because that
- 21:48Speaker 1: is one of the places you can hear me here
- 21:50Speaker 1: on the nerd Party network. And he you know, every
- 21:55Speaker 1: time he disagrees with me, we know that it's a
- 21:57Speaker 1: bad opinion. But I'll offer this much grace about Vader
- 22:00Speaker 1: shouting now and Return of the Jedi.
- 22:02Speaker 3: It works both ways.
- 22:03Speaker 1: It's fine anyway, Matt I talked about a spot where
- 22:07Speaker 1: people can hear me outside of this show. Where can
- 22:09Speaker 1: people find you outside of Aggressive Negotiations.
- 22:13Speaker 3: Oh my goodness.
- 22:14Speaker 4: Of course, you know you can find me all over
- 22:16Speaker 4: social media under the name Matt Rushing zero two, so
- 22:18Speaker 4: if I'm on that work, you'll be wanting that name.
- 22:21Speaker 3: Of course.
- 22:22Speaker 4: Here on the network you'll find me outside Aggressive Negotiations
- 22:25Speaker 4: with Al Post talking about every single chapter the Harry
- 22:27Speaker 4: Potter series, one chapter of Time. And then over on
- 22:30Speaker 4: the TFM network, I've got a few shows, a bunch
- 22:33Speaker 4: of great Star Trek talk that I do over there
- 22:35Speaker 4: with Chris Jones, and you can find the six oz
- 22:38Speaker 4: two Club where we're talking about all of the franchises
- 22:40Speaker 4: we love outside of Star Trek, And in fact, there's
- 22:44Speaker 4: a brand new bonus show there where we're talking about
- 22:47Speaker 4: Indiana Jones, the Young Indiana Jones series, as well as
- 22:51Speaker 4: we're going to cover the novels too, So it's like
- 22:54Speaker 4: there's so much goodness over there. And John is a
- 22:56Speaker 4: frequent guest on the six ozho two Club, so you
- 22:58Speaker 4: know you want to check that out.
- 23:01Speaker 1: Well, I mean, gosh, if you can't get enough of
- 23:03Speaker 1: me here, you can hear me guesting over on the
- 23:05Speaker 1: six oh two Club. You can also find me as
- 23:06Speaker 1: Kessel Junkie honestly, I'm primarily active on Letterbox at this point,
- 23:12Speaker 1: also on Goodreads, but I'll warn you on Goodreads, I
- 23:15Speaker 1: actually read controversial things, so because I like to anyway.
- 23:21Speaker 1: You can also find me here on the aforementioned house lights,
- 23:24Speaker 1: here on the Nerd Party Network, where Tristan and Darren
- 23:27Speaker 1: and I get together. We have a time, we talk
- 23:29Speaker 1: about movies, we have a laugh. You know, we have
- 23:32Speaker 1: a good time on that one. We'd love for you
- 23:34Speaker 1: to have a good time with us too. And speaking
- 23:35Speaker 1: of good times, it's a karaoke night back at the
- 23:39Speaker 1: Jedi Temple. So, Master Rushing, I think it is time
- 23:42Speaker 1: to close these negotiations.
- 23:45Speaker 4: Master Mills, negotiations are closed.
- 23:53Speaker 2: Join the Revolution, Join the Nerd Party.
