  Speaker 2: Hello and welcome to another episode of Star Wars Alliance.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Of course, I am your host, Clay and with me
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: like every single week. I am so glad I get
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: to say that now because you traumatized me for three months,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: two months, it felt like three months that you were
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: not here. But thank you Katie of course for being here.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Katy.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: But how been I'm doing pretty good.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: You know, yesterday was chaotic. I wanted to quit my job,
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: not because of my job or anything, but just because
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: of how chaotic yesterday was. And uh yeah, then today
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: it was a breeze. It's like a.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Totally been there. I have been there, I've been there.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Uh.

  Speaker 2: My week has gone pretty good. I got a new job. Now,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: I haven't started said job yet, I will be starting.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: The last week of this month is going to be
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: my first official week at this new job. Looking forward
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: to it a whole lot. I'm gonna be working for
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: a comics distribution company, which is very, very fun. I
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: finally get to say that I'm in the industry of
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: comics officially. And right before cer Abby shared that now
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: she has a new job and she will be starting Yeah, yeah,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: she has a job next week. So yeah, things are
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: looking up. It is getting better. Yeah, really glad to
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: be here. We have And I will say this, Katie,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: I sped read the absolute f out of this volume
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: one because I read a majority of it last week,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: and then this morning I was like, did I finish that?
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I finished that. Let me look
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: to see how much I need to read. And I
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: still needed to read like seventy five pages of the
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: of the volume, seventy five pages per the digital format
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: of it. Now a lot of that in the back
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: was the art and stuff. Yeah, so thankfully it was
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: not a full seventy five pages. But I was like, cool, crap,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: and I still had to work at the same time. Thankfully,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: there was like nothing to do at work today, so
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, I get to read all day
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: and get paid for it.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Cool, don't get fired, I'll ready Clay.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: Nah.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: No.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Uh. To be completely honest, my bosses couldn't care less
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: about what we do at that job. It is absolutely hilarious. Uh,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: but anyway, we have.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: I so I had read this volume probably a month ago, okay,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: when I remembered I had Marvel Unlimited and so like
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: I knew the content already because I read it pretty
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: in depth. But then today between five forty five and
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: six o five, I read all four issues.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Again, nice, very nice. Yeah, And that was the thing
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: with this is I it was actually a little shorter
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: than I expected it to be because it is the
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: first four issues and a small short story at the
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: very end from Revelations, comparatively to what a normal volume
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: one is, which is usually the first five or six
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: issues of a series. So that was nice. It's called
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: shri inflation. Is that what it's called.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Literally, I think every single volume since probably end of
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: last year has been four issues.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, that could be kind of nice though, like genuinely,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: just with the format that it's in. I think that
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: is a nice like because in the sense of like
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: one thing that me and Joe constantly talked about with
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Power Rangers, especially how it ended, was because of the
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: way that it releases, We're like, oh, man, I have
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: to go read the last four issues because I have
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: no idea, I can't remember what the heck happened. But
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: in the trade, having four issues, even if you were
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: to stop midway through and pick it back up, I
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: feel like there's enough there or lack thereof to be like, Okay,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: I only need to remember this and this because I'm
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: not that big of a volume to read, So I
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: think I like that. I really do like that. But
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: we have, of course, the volume one that we're going
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: to be talking about this is the twenty twenty three
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: volume one of the High Republic that we will be
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: reviewing today as our main topic. But we do have
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: some news for you guys. Of course, there is much
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: much words about Sean Levy and his Deadpool and Wolverine,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: but he shared some words for us in a little
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: bit of an update or a quote if you will,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: about his upcoming Star Wars film, which I really enjoyed
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: the effective that he has on how he's going about that,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: so that's really really fun. We have, of course, the
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Star Wars Outlaws roadmap for the season pass and or
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: are they calling it Seeds in Pass or are they
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: calling it I don't know what the heck DLC roadmap
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: whatever they want to call it these days. And we
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: are also going to be looking at some dates and
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: covers for publication and books, so it looks like there's
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: a full plate for us to talk about. What do
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: you want to talk about first, Katie.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Let's go ahead and knock Sean Levy's quote out of
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: the way. So he said, in a couple of different interviews,
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: I think so this first quote used, so I had
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: the volume in my headphone, so I was like, gotta
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: talk louder than it. But even though y'all can't hear that,
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: there's only so many times that Star Wars movies can
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: revisit the same section of the timeline. Because I don't
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: want to do a Star Wars film that is redundant
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: to others, nor am I interested in doing one that
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: has to serve another movie. I really wanted to craft
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: something that felt organic to me, both in tone and
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: the characters. And then, oh, this was in the same
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: interview he when asked if he was writing the movie
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: with any actors in mind, he said, wow, you're asking
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: the right questions sort of, yes, Please don't ask a
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: follow up.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: I I think that's hilarious because of course there's not
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: much he can talk about after that. Yeah, But again,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: like I said, I like the way that he's approaching
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: this new film because the very first words in that quote,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: there's only so many times that a Star Wars movie
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: can be revisited in this same section of the timeline.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: This is what we have been talking about over and
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: over and over again, and I think it's what a
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: lot of fans are like. I think for us looking
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: at the comics from the era of a New Hope
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: and Empire strikes back and return the Jedi in all
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: of that, and still getting stuff like in the Rebels
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: era when we did, and getting stuff from the Clone
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Wars era when we did, Like it's fun to get
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: those small little tidbits of story. But again, there's going
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: to be a point where they're going to drill down
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: for that oil and there's not gonna be anything there.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be very very dry. And I think Sean
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: taking perspective of he sees it for what it is. Okay,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: we've had nine movies here, We've had a few shows here,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: a few shows there. Where is unmarked territory where can
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: I reach out and do kind of my own thing.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: I I love the way he says, I'm not, nor
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: am I interested in doing something that serves another film. So,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: although depending on how you feel about the MCU and
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: technically his Deadpool and Wolverine Nose spoilers hasn't hit the
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: two week mark yet, but a lot of people say, Okay,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: it's a Marvel movie. They always serve one another after
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: his movie is already about to hit a billion dollars
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: this weekend. By the way katiells it, this man should
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: not be touched with his Star Wars film. I'm like,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: it should don't touch it.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: It's it's not worth it. It's really let Ryan Reynolds be
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: in the freaking Star Wars movie.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: I love Ryan's quote from today with Jon Favreau because yeah,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: I think he's selling something. I personally think, like I
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: it's it's not Sean's quote, but I do want to
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: go back and talk about it real quick. Uh So
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: I believe it was you that shared the quote from
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: uh from Ryan. Yeah, So, Reynolds did this very heartfelt,
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: very long post about John Favreau and about like he
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: wasn't just you know, uh, somebody that he spoke to
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: and whatnot, but he was an ideas man and building
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: a universe and like all of these things. Because we
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: know Jon Favreau, he's the you know, an individual that
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: created the Mandalorian. Right.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: So at the end of the post, he says, I
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: drop everything to show up for this guy anytime anywhere,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Thank you, John, And I was like, oh, really, anytime anywhere?
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Maybe season four of The Mandalorian or or is were
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: they talking when? When when talking about the ideas man
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: in Universe building where they you know, maybe John and
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Sean got together and was like, Hey, how do I
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: get the Star Wars movie going? You know, I think
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: something's cooking. I think something's cooking and it's gonna be awesome.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: So do you We're gonna talk about this at the
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: end of the new section, really, but since we're on
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: the topic, we might as well go ahead and say it.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: Do you think we're going to get a topic for
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: Sean Levy Star Wars movie? But D twenty three this weekend?
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: No, I say no, because I'm gonna give you a
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Chris Balga answer. D twenty three is TV shows. It's
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: it's it's it's not. It's not a lot of movies.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Like it's every once in a while you'll hear like
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: a random thing about a movie. But I think right now,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: because Sean Levy is still very early in development of
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: the movie, and because it is a movie not a
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: TV show, I think D twenty three is is is
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: not the place for it, but what you.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Want to capitalize on the success of Deadpool and Wolverine. Yes,
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: I because clearly he knows his concept.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: That's true because his quote did say, let me actually
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: go back to it. At the very end there was
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: I really wanted to craft something that felt organic to
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: both me to me in both tone and characters. So
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: I think he has already probably found the track of like, hey,
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: this is where I want to go. How do I do?
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: That is probably where he's already at. And then of course,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: you know, getting all these meetings with Star Wars people,
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: you know that's probably where it's going to go next.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know, Kitty, that's that's it's a smart thing.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: It was. It was smart to already give him the film.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Right from what we know, there is still the two
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: dates for the Star Wars in twenty twenty six. I
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: don't think that's shuns. I don't think you can do
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: I think it those two films are Mandalorian and Grogu
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: and then the oh crap, the Miss Marvel director for
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: the Ray movie. Yes, I think those are those two movies.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Which, by the way, I think we all agree Uh,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: because I don't know if it was necessarily a topic
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: when we did talk about it, but Mandalorian Grogu should
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: move uh dates now that Robert Downing Junior is going
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: to be in the Adventures movie. Yeah, but uh, with
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: the success of Dead Poe Woiverine, I do agree that
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: you capitalize.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: It, especially with the fact that it may hit a
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: billion dollars this weekend.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say, if you make the announcement almost
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: immediately after the billion dollar mark this weekend, it's it's
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: it's like serving it on a platter like here you go,
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: like it's right here, but what do you Okay? So,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: so if they do, let's give you a scenario. Now,
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: if they don't, what can they announce?
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: I think you say where you're going in the timeline?
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: So you say which era you're hitting, and if you've
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: got Ryan Reynolds, if Sean's like, I'm not doing this
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: without Ryan Reynolds, then you bring Ryan Reynolds on out
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: for the platform and you say, and this is.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: My star now but here Okay. So here's a genuine
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: question because I don't agree with snell On, but I
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: think they're might be a little bit of pushback if
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Ryan was in the movie, because and I know it's
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: I know it's silly, and I know it's stupid, but
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: people look at that. I can't even say that. I
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: can't even finish my freaking sentence because it's so stupid
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: and how bipolar he's.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: He's Deadpool in a Star Wars movie.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: So my my thing is there's so many diverse personalities
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: and people of like how people think of Star Wars
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: movie or TV show should feel tonally mm hmm. You
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: look at the Alcolyte compared to that of uh yeah,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: and you're like, okay, those have kind of the same
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: tones but very different. But then you look at let's
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: go into some of the animated stuff, because we talked
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: about it. Even though people think animation is for kids,
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: it's not always for kids. That can have serious tones.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: But people take the idea of, oh, it's for kids,
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: it's supposed to be silly. Star Wars In's is supposed
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: to be silly, But then they forget about Jar Jar
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Binks and RTD two and C three po and they
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: forget about the funny parts of Star Wars.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna agree with you, but I'm also going to
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: raise you and say that Ryan Reynolds is highly respected
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: by the mega nerd boys because of his respect for
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: the character of Deadpool. I think that brings a little good.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Will over it. Does I think it does. But I
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: think that what you said prior is the number one
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: thing that we're going to be seeing on the internet.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Oh God, Deadpool is joining the Star Wars universe. That's
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: what we're gonna see. And we're gonna see all the
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: memes of Deadpool wearing a Jedi robe with a lightsaber,
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: and it's going to be annoying to me. It's personally
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: going to be annoying to me.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying it's not gonna be annoying, but that's
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: good pub.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: What I said, what was it? As a couple of
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: weeks ago, I said that I want more genres within
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Star Wars. Yep. I think it would be okay to
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: have a comedy in Star Wars. Like you. Look at
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: one of my favorite movies in the last five years
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: is Oh shoot, I forgot the freaking title of the
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: movie brad Pit. Ryan Reynolds was in the movie the.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: Train movie Bullet Train?
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Was it? Bullet Train? Is that what it's called? With
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: with Brett Pitt. It's not called bullet Train. Uh, it's
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: called something trained. Uh it's called oh it was bullet train.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, okay, so bullet train. You look at bullet
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Train that has hilarity all over it, but like the
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: topic is somewhat serious. There's like badass moments in it,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: but it is in some weird way a comedy.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: You make a Star Wars movie like lit Train, I'm
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: all for it one hundred.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: I don't disagree. But would you put Ryan Reynolds in
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: an assassin's role with the Deadpool and just go with that?
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Like, not necessarily? And and I say more so, like
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: because a lot of people have said that Ryan Reynolds
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: hasn't played an actual character in a movie since the Proposal,
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: and I think that's almost accurate. You could give him
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: a scoundrel esque role in the Star Wars universe, not
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: necessarily assassin. I would say, down on his luck. You
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: know somebody who, like I could very much see him
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: in like a Honlando, you know Honda. You make him
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: like Honda. That is perfect for Ryan Reynolds.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we don't have a live action Honda.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Don't make him Honda, though. I don't. I don't want
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: him as Honda. No, if we if we ever get
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: a live action Honda, I still want Jim to be
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: the voice of Hondo, but somebody else be the body actor.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Like that's how iconic Jim's voice is for Honda.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: On that note, so do you want to talk about
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: the season pass.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: For so let me actually bring that up. I believe
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: did we place that in the Okay? So, the season
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: pass roadmap for Star Wars Outlaws has been revealed, and
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: it confirms the appearance from Lando cal Riscian and Hondo.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: There's another reason why I brought it up. So there
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: is going to be two story packs. So the entire
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: roadmap has launch day Fall twenty twenty four as well
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: as Spring of twenty twenty five. So the story pack
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: number one is coming Fall of twenty twenty four. It
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: is called The wild Card. Kay is hired to infiltrate
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: a high stake Sabak tournament, but as she crosses pass
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: with the notorious gambler Lando cal Rissian, she soon learns
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: that another game is being played. And I just wanted
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: to reiterate Launch Day stuff that does come out for
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: a season past. We've already talked about. It's the exclusive
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Jaba mission, as well as the character pack for the
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Han solo Outfit story Pack number two, which is coming
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five Spring. The Trailblazer's reputation proceeds K
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: as she runs into a veteran pirate, Hondo, who is
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: looking to settle old scores with a ruthless gang of pirates.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: So I like this. It kind of stays in the
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: same realm of realm of what we know about K.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Kind of just like the gangs, the smugglers, the pirates
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: getting into trouble type of thing, legacy characters Landol Cowers,
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: and I think it's very fun to see him in
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: things like this. Because it's out in the fall, there
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: is no actual confirmation date for that Fall twenty twenty
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: four story pack. I hope it's later Fall of twenty
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: twenty four because I really want players to get a
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: good feel about K. I want them to be able
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: to play and be like, Okay, I'm really enjoying this character,
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: because I don't want them to release the game and
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: then like three weeks later, Hey, here's the first story pack.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Lando Calrissian crashes the party and everybody's just you know,
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: oh my gosh, it's Lando as Lando as Lando. Like,
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: give your new character time to breathe a little bit.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: I think that would be the smartest thing to do.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: And for those who are curious about the season pass price,
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: it is only available for pre order with the Gold
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: or Ultimate Edition or with Bubisoft Plus Premium. The Gold
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: Edition of the game is one hundred and ten dollars
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: and the Ultimate Edition is one hundred and thirty dollars.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: The Ultimate Edition also provides some extra some extra digital feature.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: The game itself on its own is seventy dollars. What
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: do you think about these prices?
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Sixty nine is the newer price for new gen consoles that,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: of course, is the Xbox One, Xbox Series XPS five
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: type of gaming consoles. I have a small problem with
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: it because the reason why a normal price back in
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: the day was fifty nine to ninety nine was due
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: to the fact that these were physical copies of a
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: game that were being shipped everywhere in the world. That
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: is no longer the case. For companies to be having
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: a price point of sixty nine ninety nine on a
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: digital copy of a game is absolutely stupid.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: You're so stupid. You don't own the game if it's
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: a digital copy exactly.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: And the really stupid thing when it comes to both
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Xbox and PlayStation, when you turn on your Xbox for
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: the very first time, and I'm pretty sure the licensing
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: agreement has changed recently and so you'll have to like
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: press the button. Says that. I agree. It says at
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: the very bottom of that agreement that you do not
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: own any games that you purchase from the PlayStation or
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Xbox store. This is a problem. There was a time
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: when they first started doing digital games where they were cheaper,
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: and then some genius was like, hey, we could just
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: sell it for the same price. Nobody's gonna stop us.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: And I think it's a very, very stupid thing. These
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: massive companies do not share that profit with the developers whatsoever.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: They they give that money to the company that is it.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: The creators of this game, the artists, all of that.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: They only see a small portion of what they worked
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: on via when they clocked in and when they clocked out.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: There is no residuals on these things people. It's a
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: big problem in the industry. And they would still make
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: millions upon millions of dollars if they sold it at
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: a lower price point. You look at games recently, although
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: it is now considered a dead game, Hell Divers two
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: came out for forty dollars like three months ago, and
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: it just blew up all over the world. Now, of course,
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: PlayStation screwed up with some really stupid hey you have
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: to sign into a PlayStation, you know, account for that
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: type of thing, and it caused a whole big drama.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: But selling a very good game at forty dollars, they
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: made so much freaking money. You can do the exact
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: same thing with any Triple A game. Selling your season
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: pass or battle pass or whatever for a solid fifteen dollars,
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: you're making bank. But these people are so goddamn greedy
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: that they're like, oh, the only way we can make
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: significant amounts of money is if we sell everything at
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: one hundred dollars plus. That's so dumb. It's already a
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: giant ip that brings in billions of dollars for you.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: Why sell it at such a high rate.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it doesn't make a lot of sense to me,
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: but people are gonna buy it still, So.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I with with Outlaws. I am buying the base game,
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: and I would recommend this to everybody. By the base game.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: Then you wait, there will be a summer sale, a
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Christmas sale, a New Year's sale, a spring sale on
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: the season pass, and then eventually that just gets reduced
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: in price over time. Yeah, you might have a little
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: bit of quote unquote fomo from playing it right now,
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: but just get the main game. Enjoy the game now.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: I've actually started to see a little bit of gameplay
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: on TikTok from the people who were able to get
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: the game early that we talked about last week. It
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: looks fun, and that is just people playing the demo
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: or you know how many hours they got to play.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: I think it was like a total of twenty four
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: forty eight hours. Like, just go buy the game at
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: the cheapest price point as you can for people who
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: have PC, Wait until new wait until New Egg has
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: like a discount code for new games they usually do,
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: and it drops to like forty nine fifty nine nine
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: older you know, older game prices. This is what I recommend,
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: so that way we're not breaking the bank for games.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: Because I just I just saw TikTok about this recently.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: Is that there's so many of these developers and companies
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: that are laying off hundreds of not thousands of people
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: for their company because they can't quote unquote keep up
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: to date with games like Fortnite that are a massive
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: multiplayer game that are constantly bringing out content. I don't
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: need that type of game. I need one singular story,
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: a small game that looks beautiful, that has an amazing
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: story that was created with the utmost respect of whatever
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: IP that it is, and I guarantee it'll make money.
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, y'all, we are going to hit our
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: first ad break and we will be right back in
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: three two one.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: All right. So the next topic that we have, it
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: kind of goes well, no, not really. So we have
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: some guest announcements for Star Wars Celebration Japan, which is
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: taking place April eighteenth through the twentieth, twenty twenty five
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: in Japan. And now the only reason I wanted to
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: bring this up. We've got Daniel.
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: Logan who was Young Poblot. We have Manny Jacente Kimer
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: and the Stranger obviously, and then we have Alan tudic
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: as K two sl So do you think we're getting
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: confirmation K two so is going to be an end
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: or two with this appearance.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: I think that it is a possibility. We know that
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: via Rebels they are working together from the very beginning,
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: so they have to then yeah sorry sorry uh in
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: Rogue one, sorry uh. We know that in the beginning
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: of Rogue one they are working together their partners. So
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: seeing this, I get a little excited. I am kind
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: of back and forth on Alan Tutic. It's really weird.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: Sometimes I like his performances in movies. Sometimes I don't.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: I didn't actually realize until the other day how many
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: voices he's played for Disney, like even some of the
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: characters that I didn't even know were him. I was like,
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: holy crap. So yeah, I like uh kick. So I'm
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: okay with with seeing him in and Or season two.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: I think it'll bring a little bit of flavor something
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: we didn't get h well, Like I was saying, the
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: little bit of humor that Star Wars always kind of
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: drizzles in and Or. Season one was very heavy, very heavy,
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: The humor was very light. There was just kind of
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: like tongue in cheek type of humor in season one.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: With Alentutic coming in, possibly as Ktoso, I think that
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: we could be seeing a little bit more of like, hey,
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: we can be lighthearted, but it is still a serious moment.
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: All right, So the next thing we have on our docket,
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: we got some sneak peeks at a Wave twelve of
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: the Essential Legends collection. Can you believe we've had twelve waves?
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: Or we will have had twelve waves as of February fourth,
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: twenty five.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: It's insane how quickly these guys are just pushing these out.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: Yep. One of the novels involved is The Force Unleashed
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: two by Sean Williams, and this is pretty badass our work,
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: I have to say.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So my question is where was the Force Unleashed one?
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: I don't remember the Forced Unleash being a part of
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: whatever wave unless the Force Unleash was never an official
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: release on Legends and only the Force Unleashed two.
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: No, the Force Unleashed is is? Did get made into
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: a book?
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: Ok?
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: Look?
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh? So yeah, so the Force Unleashed was
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: released January first, two thousand and nine. Did they really?
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: I thought I saw that they had an Essential Legends
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: did they? Oh? Yeah, Wave eleven? Here we go.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: Right before this one?
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: Yes, So November fifth is the release date for this one.
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: Let me, drag it over here. Oh it's not gonna
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: switch it, is it? Okay? Hand? Yeah, because you can
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: do window or you can do scream. And so so
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: this is Wave eleven, which is out November fifth. So
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: this is the Han Solo Adventures, Solo Command, and then
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: The Force Unleashed.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: I love the cover for Force Unleashed, and I love
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: the cover for The Force Unleashed too. Uh, this art
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: is absolutely amazing. What is this? Scoundrels?
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: So yes, Scoundrels is actually a book by Timothy Zahn
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: And I can't remember exactly what he said, but he
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: basically wanted to write so because he he wanted to
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: write like a like a pre like in the time
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: space the nineteen years before our New Hope. He wanted
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: to write a book about Han Solo and Chewy. So
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: he wrote this book, I take It takes Place.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: I love the cover colors pop. You know, there's characters
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: that I clearly don't know here that got me interested.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: It's like, okay, who are these people? Like? It has
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: everything that you need to judge a book by its cover,
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: and I like, I like. I even like the title Scoundrels.
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah no, And I read part of it. I think
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: I was reading it right in the middle of college,
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: so I was like, I had to stop in the
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: middle of it. It's a great book from what I
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: had read and what I remember, So I'm definitely going
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: to be picking up Scoundrels. And I think I have
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: Force Unleashed pre ordered, so I'll definitely have Force Unleashed
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: too pre ordered as well. Have not read either of
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: those books, and of course never played the game, but
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: the covers are cool.
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: I highly recommend. Oh, I don't even know if you
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: can now. Uh so watch well no so so last week?
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: Uh the Xbox store, the Xbox three sixty store, should
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: I say shut down for good? So, I don't know.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: Do you guys have an Xbox or a PlayStation I
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: have a.
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: PS four, Matt has Xbox one.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: An Xbox one, okay, so I don't know if he's
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: able to get it, and I don't know if it's
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: been ported to the PlayStation four. I know it's on
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: the PlayStation three. If there is ever a chance for
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: you guys to pick it up, it might even be
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: on the switch. It is a lot of fun. That's
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: why I've heard the idea of you being the basically
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: Apprentice to Darth Vader. It has an amazing cut scene
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: in the very beginning where Darth Vader like finds the
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: main character and just getting all into it. It's it's
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: basically the mission to like kill the surviving Jedi, is
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: what it is.
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: It's like the Inquisitor, Yeah, it's it's basically the Inquisitor
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: idea before the Inquisitors were an idea.
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it's a lot of fun. I highly recommend it.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: I own both of them on PC, have not gotten
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: a chance to sit down and play them, but I
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: know it's like on a list of things to do
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: with them the next year, just because those games were
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: so fun. So I highly recommend it.
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: Awesome. All right, So the last thing that we have
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: to talk about is release dates. So Star Wars the
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: Higher Republic Tempest, which is the audio drama by Kat
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: and Scott that is out in December of this year.
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: It has a script release date for May thirteenth to
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, so it's a little bit later than
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: some of the other script books have been, but at
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: least it's out before the end, I guess. So that's
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: kind of like a little disappointing, but also like it
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: is what it is. And then The Women of the
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: Galaxy Book by Amy Ratcliffe. This book came out, i
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: want to say, like twenty eighteen, and it's basically just
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: it's kind of got all of the women of the
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: Galaxy and like kind of tells you a little bit
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: about them with like little bios. But then it's got
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: like different pictures from like the shows, and I think
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: there's even like some original artwork involved. But this book
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: is being transitioned to a paperback and it's going to
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: be updated and have an expanded edition in the paperback format,
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: so it's going to include the women from the Mandalorian Ahsoka,
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: the Acolyte, as well as the higher public, Jedi Fallen
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: Order and more. So this book is out April twenty ninth,
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty five. And for me, I'm always like this
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: is why I'm not like super big into reference books.
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: Like I have like timelines and everything over there obviously,
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: but reference books, especially in a universe that's always expanding,
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: You've always got to go back and add more or
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: you've got to do a few auditions, and it's like
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: it's definitely a little frustrating to see when you're like, oh,
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: I have this book now, but then like, oh, there's
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: more like.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: Which I think.
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: I love that we've gotten more characters. Don't get me wrong,
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: I love that, But.
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: Would it be smarter to do this in a format
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: that's like Women of Star Wars and do like each
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: era of Star Wars, Like I think you have.
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: Enough content for that right now. That's the thing, okay,
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: especially like in like some of the earlier time frame,
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: Like yes, I know Princess Leah is the hero of
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: Star Wars according to George Lucas. Yeah, but there's also
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: not a lot of female characters in the original trilogy.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: That's also true. Yeah, So.
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: Like I get it, and like from what I've looked
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: at this book in book source, I just didn't have
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: enough room for it at the time, and then honestly
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: I kind of forgot about it. And Amy Rotcliffe is incredible,
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: Like I love work that she's done in like other
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: reference books, like she did like the Art of Galaxies Edge.
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: But it's just like em like this is a Yeah,
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: I don't know how to feel about it, but take
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: into reference books.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: The the cover itself by Jin Bartel would one hundred
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: percent make it worth it for me. I love her art,
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: so seeing that that ray cover from Jen is awesome.
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: Love that. But yeah, I think it's very silly. It
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: goes down to the conversation that we were having about
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: the encyclopedia, right, the High Republican Encyclopedia. It's like, oh,
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: you know for a fact that Wave three is coming out,
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: but he decided to put this one out and night
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: now you know. So, Uh, it's it's gonna be an
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: ongoing battle for a IP that is still continuously going.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: So it is what it is. And I will say
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: or more of a question, more so than saying, I
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: want to go back to, uh, Tempest Breaker, How big
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: do you think this bad boy is gonna be? Because
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: if you remember, we had so the two script books
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: that we have for the High Republic is The Tempest
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: Runner and the Battle of Jenna.
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: Yes, so.
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: Tempest Runner was a thick, thick book. I remember getting
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: it at Target. I took a picture of it on
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: my steering wheel. I still remember sending it to you.
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: It was a big boy. Bettle of Jedda wasn't that big?
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: It was? It was relatively, you know, comparatively, I don't
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: think it was that much bigger than Tempest Runner. I
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: don't know.
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: I'm looking at them on my shelf and they look
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: about the same.
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: Really my my shelf. I only see the side of
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: my shelf. It's facing the other wall.
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: So Battle of Jetta fits in it.
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: But wow, they are pretty close. I I don't know,
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: like I just remember picking up Tempest Runner in Target
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: and thinking, holy crap, this thing is huge. Oh yeah,
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: So I I'm so glad these do come out as
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: audio dramas first, and.
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: This is Dooku Jedi Lost comparatively.
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, see that is so much bigger than
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: that one. So I I'm gonna get it no matter what. Uh,
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: it's really enjoyable. Uh, these audio dramas, Yes, And I
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: will say, if you're not caught up with comics and
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: everything else, we're gonna be talking about Volume one. This
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: cover kind of like spoils what we're going to be seeing,
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: you know. Uh yeah, so uh looking forward to it.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: I think Cavin Scott has done an amazing job in
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: the High Republic so far.
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: Surprisingly not a huge fan of his DC stuff that
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: he's written, but you know, I really love High Republic stuff,
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: so I know he's going to do a great job here,
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: But what did you What did you say?
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: I said, he found his spot.
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, he found his spot, like you kind of broke out,
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: so I I I.
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: So, before we move on to the comic, do you
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: have any predictions for D twenty three about.
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: What we're going to get? Yes, D twenty three predictions.
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: I am going to go ahead and be the first
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: to say it, Ahsoka season two confirmation with concept art,
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: we're gonna I don't think we're going to see any footage.
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: Clearly they haven't done anything yet. Now one thing that
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: I think they're going to do, and I don't know
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: if you should do it at your presentation at D
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: twenty three.
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: But replacement.
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: I think they're going to announce the Baalen replacement at
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: D twenty three.
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: I'm thinking that too. Yeah, I there's got to be
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: a point where you do make the announcement and you don't.
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: You don't necessarily want to, like cause a bunch of fanfare,
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: but you also don't want people to speculate. In my opinion, yeah,
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: speculating a recasting after somebody's pasted is just not good.
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: Mojo Jojo. In my opinion, it just feels icky.
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: We talked about it. We're like, you know, there could
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: be ways that you kind of just go without it.
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: There's ways that you kind of swerve around it. It
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: just feels weird, And I think that they should just
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: get ahead of it and say, hey, this is happening,
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: this is what we're doing boom, and they just make
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: the announcement right then in there.
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I think that's the smartest movie you can do.
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: I think, especially with the fact that going to my prediction,
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: I think with the fact that you've got many coming
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: in for Q and A about the Stranger and what
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: is in store for the Stranger, I think you've got
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: an accolade season two announcement too.
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think that there was enough positive reaction to
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: that last two episodes, uh, And there was so much
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: conversation that week over that over the finale, speculation of
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: what's gonna come the novels generated conversation as well as
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: as far as the announcement during Santio Comic Con. I
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: think this is the perfect time just say, hey, season
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: two is happening. Here we go another prediction, uh season
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: two footage. I think we we we get a trailer
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: for and or season two. But where I was gonna go,
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: is I think we get yet another season of Visions
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: Vision season three announcement.
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I definitely see that.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: But here's here's what I'm gonna.
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: Ask, uh huh.
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: Where in the world do we get season three from?
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: Well, they went global in the last season, so I
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: feel like you could go back and go to multiple
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: studios again, like all over the world. But I think
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: with the fact that you have Star Wars celebration in Japan,
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: I think you need to highlight more Japanese studios and
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: that you can capitalize with interviews.
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: I will go as far as because of celebration at Japan,
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: I get I think we get a sequel.
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: That's what I was also going to say, you get
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: some sequels involved, especially with how happy that were at
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: some of the performances and how some of the episodes
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: are still talked about to this day. I think sequels
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: is a big thing you could tackle for Vision season three.
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: I'm also thinking we get we finally get a public
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: Skeleton crew trailer.
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: I would hope, so we finally got we finally got
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: an official announcement on the date right with with uh
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: interview last week, we're with actual still photos, So I
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: I I would hope that we finally get something shown
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: to the public with that, with the actual date attached
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: to that trailer, I think is what's going to be shown.
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: And I'm still happy that's a that's a Tuesday premiere,
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: Like that's big for me.
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh real quick? Uh can you hear Amberlyn at all?
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: Did you hear her crying? Okay? Because I just got
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: a text saying tell Katie, I said, sorry, she's so tired.
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: She has been fighting going down to sleep for like
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: the past month, and we don't know what to do.
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: So we're just like, okay, in your crib.
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: Bye, let's me during the day with naps right now?
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: Man, So okay, So skelt Crew and Andorly act.
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: Like here here's the thought the Path animated.
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: Show animated okay, So okay, so we know that assage
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: is Ventriss's voice actress said that there is more to come.
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: We immediately go to the idea of the Path because
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: of course we know that it's kind of the only
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: way that story can go quote unquote you know, question mark,
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: but animated is a very interesting I So so we
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: we quote unquote know that a Star Wars animated series
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: is in the works. You know, it's you know, it
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: was funny when when we first talked about it. I
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: like it. I like the idea of another animated project.
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: I think that with the surprise hit that bad Batch
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: was with season three, I think you do go to
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: what is next? And I think what is next is
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: that era of the path and focusing on as Sage
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: ventterest is going to be very interesting. Well that's the thing.
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: Do you think it's going to focus on Assage or
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: do we get another aspect of it? If this is
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: something that is announced.
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: I think you've got to focus on a Sage. I
• 54:44
  Speaker 3: think you've made enough announcements and putting her in. I
• 54:50
  Speaker 3: think you gotta do it.
• 54:51
  Speaker 5: We're gonna go into our second ad break and we'll
• 54:55
  Speaker 5: be right back.
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: All right, all right, okay, Now we talked about things
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: that are very realistic. For d twenty three, Katie, I
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: need one most outrageous prediction so that way when it
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: does come true, we're like, holy shit, Katie got it.
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: Like I need one of the most out there announcements.
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: For lucasfilm three.
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: John Boye got back for the Rain movie.
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: Wow you went there, hm, So I'm looking something up
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: real quick to see if it's not already something that
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: is going going on, because I feel like it was
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: something that was pitched or probably in conversation with I
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: have two out there announcements. My first one Indiana Jones
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: series Disney Plus it's Lucasfilm. So I'm gonna throw that
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: out there again, way out there. I don't think it's
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: gonna happen, but I'm just throwing it out there just
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: in case. And number two because again, probably never gonna happen,
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: because there is so many statements and evidence that we
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: don't cross the streams when it comes to the same
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: era of content. When it comes to Star Wars, I'm
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: saying we're going to get a live action calcastis something
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: on Disney Plus. That's that's my most out there story
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: or prediction because again I think, oh, go ahead.
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: Do you think were you thinking timeline wise, like the
• 57:19
  Speaker 3: nineteen year period or like addition to like Mando time frame.
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: I could see it being I don't want it to
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: be the Liner, but I can see it being the
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: Lner just because it's the Mandalian Well, because we've heard.
• 57:36
  Speaker 3: That there's a third game that they wanted to close
• 57:39
  Speaker 3: out a trilogy, A trilogy again Jedi Fallen Order games. Yes,
• 57:45
  Speaker 3: So I don't think you would get nineteen year time frame.
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: I don't think the Empire time frame is necessarily like
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: something that will and because let's let's see here we
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: it was nineteen years after and then the second one
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: was I think a year after that, so we're still
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: in the time frame of right before Mandalorian. So I
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: think I think you gotta sucks. But yeah, I'll go
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: I'll go ahead and say it. I'm gonna go ahead
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: and say that we get you know what, it'll piggyback
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: Alcestis Ahsoka season two.
• 58:50
  Speaker 3: Oh, I could dig it.
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: I think that works right timeline wise, Yeah, I think
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: I can dig it. Yeah, I'm I'm I think it
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: would be really cool for the announcement, like you see,
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: like the Balin announcement, you see you know whatever concept help, Yeah,
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: and we see a conversation about like, okay, you know
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: this is the the links of what they're doing and
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: going this far to do this or whatever. And well,
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: now that Ahsoka is stuck, you know in a different galaxy,
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: who's gonna help Ezra? Oh? Well, you know about being
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: babom alcasts makes sense interesting.
• 59:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, well I think that brings us to
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: the end of productions.
• 59:44
  Speaker 5: Yes, and we're about to jump into our third ad, y'all.
• 59:49
  Speaker 3: We promise we'll be right back, we promise. Let's talk
• 59:52
  Speaker 3: about this comic, which, by the way, so I have
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: read through issue six, because the first six issues is
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 3: what's available on Marvel Limited. However, I'm going to keep
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 3: it strictly to issues one through four, plus the Revelations story,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 3: which honestly I forgot about, so I didn't read that,
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: but I did read it when it came out last year.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: It was a very small I think like four pages,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: so I could see how and why you would forget
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: about it. It's fine.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 3: So yeah, Issue ten came out today for the Higher
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 3: Republic series, so we're covering this issue so we can
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 3: cover volume two when it comes out I believe next month,
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 3: I think. So. Yeah, So spoilers four issues one through four.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 3: If you are interested in reading reviews for current comic issues,
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 3: I highly recommend Minock Manners reviews. Ryan does a great
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 3: job with his comic reviews, so he's already got his
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 3: review out for issue number ten today. So with that,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 3: Clay lead us in the comic discussion.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: Yes, so we start, and I forgot that I had
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: actually attempted to follow these issues as they were actually releasing.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: So when I started reading this again, I was like,
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: I've already read this. I already know this. Skip the
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: first two issues, read issue three. But we actually open
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: up with I am forgetting her name Eve, Yes, kiev uh,
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: and she is remembering the events of what happened to
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: Starlight Beacon. She's remembering how her master was basically being
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: torn apart and pulled by the nameless, remembering the fear,
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: the chaos, all of these different things. And I believe
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: they are landing on do you remember what planet they
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: were actually landing on? Baylum is the planet with the
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: with the Hut. And I believe this is the cousin
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: or brother.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 3: Sing some sibling, Yes, because they call the Hut from
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 3: Wave one high Republic their history.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: So yes, it is a callback to that later on
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: in this volume, which I thought was a very nice connection.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: But this is amidst the chaos of of course, the
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: oculation zones. There is a basically territory war happening on
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: the you know, republic side for what will eventually become
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: Nighthill Space and like all of these, all of the
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: chaos that we already know is happening is of course
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: happening during these periods of this four issue volume one,
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: but we get to see that Kiev is h goes
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: down and is I forgot what their actual mission was though,
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: do you remember Their goal.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 3: Is to push back and like reclaim planets, Yeah, that
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 3: are being taken over by the nie Hill or being
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 3: attacked by the night Hill and then the Hut space.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 3: So the Huts have kind of taken the chaos that's
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 3: happening in the Republic and are like trying to expand
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 3: their territory.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: And one of the newer spaces and or characters that
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: we get to see in this third way are the
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: Children of the Nihill, Right, is that what they're called.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 3: Is the Children of the Storm.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: Children of the Storm, nothing nil, the Children of the Storm.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: This kind of freaked me out when I first saw it. Yeah,
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: we hadn't seen a character like this in the novels
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: at all. This felt the most comic bookie out of
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: everything that is happening in this book. Of course, you
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: know it is Star Wars whatever. They've made a giant
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: name for themselves as comics anyway, but this felt the
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: most like kind of out there. This individual like has
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: like tentacle arms, like it's some sort of me.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 3: He's kind of like like, we know there's an evil
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 3: scientist who is like manipulating the nameless and everything. It
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 3: looks like this guy was mutated with the drink gear
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: like he has.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: That's exactly what I was gonna say is it reminds
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: me very much of the dream Gear. And we get
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: to see Sarah and Terrek. Of course they are still
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: with Kiev helping out planet side and in space having
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: a little firefight here, but eventually we see that Kiev
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: gets captured by the One and Only Lorna.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 3: D l D is also just a clarification, so it
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 3: is the Children of the Storm, and so the guy
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 3: that we see with the drineer looking arm is a
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 3: child of the Storm and he was. They were experimented
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 3: on by Baron Bullen who's in later, and they were
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 3: former Force sensitives that the Baron experimented on. They were
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 3: Jedi hunters who captured Force users for Bulan to continue
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 3: to perform experiments on.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: And I believe Bulan is the same character that is
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 2: one of the like general enforcers for.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's like the lead scientist. He was also I
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 3: think he was also in phase or waved Phase two
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 3: of the Higher Public as one of the children in
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 3: the Path.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: Yes, so yeah. Also the comic draws Lorna Dye so methically, like,
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: oh yeah.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 3: I love it. I love it. Areo in detO did
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 3: the first issue and then Jim Toe is the second, third,
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 3: and fourth penciler for those issues. But yeah, she is crazy.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: I think it's absolutely insane, just the way that her
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: character going like full circle and like being on her
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: own and all of this other stuff. I just love
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 2: the evolution of what Lorna d has become. But being
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: able to see her in comics again, I'm just like,
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: oh yeah, but this second issue, I want to ask you,
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: how did you feel about Like I think this is
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: kind of where we start to see because later on,
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: even in this volume, Lorna d does like make a
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 2: comment on the fact that Keieth like she's taking off
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: the gloves. She's like, hey, like yes, like a little
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: bit of a spoiler for our conversation later on, But
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: Keith says like, yeah, we may be like Jedi and
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: we serve to like be peaceful and all these other things,
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: but there's a freaking war going on right now. Like, yeah,
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: the gloves are off. So how did you feel?
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, we know she leaves the Jedi Order at
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 3: some point, so I believe she's really struggling with that aspect,
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 3: especially in all the flashbacks that we get from every
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 3: single one. So we get the flashback to like her
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 3: being separated with Skiar in issue one, and then her
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 3: Padawan trials and then like the Fire and I think
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 3: it's issue three, but just all these different flashbacks kind
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 3: of telling her story. Cavin Scott is doing an incredible
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 3: job with those aspects, just adding more characterization to Kiev
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 3: as we go along and just seeing not the degeneration
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 3: of her well yeah, I think it is actually the
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 3: degeneration of her spirit as a Jedi. First the Jedi
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 3: Night that we get in High Republic twenty twenty one,
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 3: and now this with her in this run as a
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 3: Jedi Master, Like it's just very artful. I think.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so you you spoke on a point that I
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: did want to bring up because of the later conversation
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: that we're going to be having about heave. Do we
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: see her leave at the end of Way three.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's going to be in the next
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 3: run of the Marvel High Republic that starts back up
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 3: in February, because they're taking like a little bit of
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 3: a break and then coming back. So I think at
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 3: the end of that run we are going to get her.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 3: I'm done with the Jedi Order, like we thought we were
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 3: going to get what's his name back not? Was it
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 3: race Master?
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 3: Master that took over Wreath as a padawan. How he
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 3: leaves at the end of min At Horizon. We were like, oh,
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 3: he's going to come back. Oh yeah, we haven't seen
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 3: him at all. So yeah, I think she's definitely gonna
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 3: leave at the end.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 2: You know. One thing in Issue to also that we
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: start to see and I think it's very much a
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: consequence still of the effects that were or the events,
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: not exactly the effects, but the events that took place
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: in our first volume, like in twenty two with Sarah
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: and Trek, they're falling apart. They're falling apart. Yeah, that's
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: that's a good way of saying it. Later on in
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: this volume, they they put heads, and it has always
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: been told to us that they basically share one mind.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: They see what they see, they think what they think,
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: and they are polar opposites right now. Yeah, we start
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: to see the beginning of that in issue too.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you see the different cybernetics that each one
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 3: has now because they basically like fell apart when they
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 3: were attacked by the Nameless in Phase one's comic run.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I think that while I would have liked
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 3: to see maybe a little more manipulation there to kind
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 3: of like show the transition, like maybe do like an
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 3: intermittent issue or something where like they're struggling to adjust
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 3: to the cybernetics, Like I really want to know more
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 3: about kind of how they interact with each other and
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 3: how that transitioned with the healing process after Starlight Beacon
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 3: and the addition of cybernetics.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it would have been nice to have a little
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: bit more of that. Like I'm not saying that it's
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: not believable, because clearly, like we can connect the dots
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 2: of like, hey, something's very traumatic have happened to both
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: of them with a species that is supposed to be
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: symbiotic in mind and everything else, So that does make sense.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: But I would have liked to see a little bit
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: more or even you know, having them. I know that
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: the High Republic has done this very cheeky thing of
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: like saying, Okay, these characters will stay in the comic,
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: and these characters are going to be in the children's novels,
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: and these characters are going to be in the adult novels.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 2: I wish there was a little more crossover, not so
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 2: intense where you're like, oh, gosh, I have to read
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: this book to think about what, you know, the character
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 2: development of this character over here, like nothing so intense.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: But we know that, especially at the beginning of this
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: phase three, that a lot of these Jedi are on
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: the same mission, just different parts of the bar See
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: and everything else. Their past probably crossed once or twice,
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: you know, So I think that it would have been
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: a little fun to have a little bit of that interaction.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: But you know, we were here already, so we'll see
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: where it goes. But at the end of issue too,
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 2: we get the big reveal something that was accidentally spoiled
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: via releasing of a connecting cover of these first four issues.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: We get that are alive. We get the the mentioned
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: from the children of the Storm or the child of
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: the storm that his face is now all scarred up
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: and disgusting, and he has to wear a mask because
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: of a savage trandotionan in the oculation zone. And this stops.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: Kiev Brightner tracks like, wait a second, what did you
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: just say? What's going on this? Unfortunately, like I said,
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: Katie and I knew months ago last year. We knew, Uh.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, honestly I think we did because it was like
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 3: end of twenty twenty three kids.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm pretty sure somewhere like November, like October November.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 2: We found out already. So and that's just the way
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: solicits work, unfortun and it was the artist that kind
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 2: of screwed up on accident. They're like, yeah, well, I
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: don't even think it was the artist. I think I
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: think honestly what it was was they did a special
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: connecting cover for a specific comic store, and the comic
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: store was the one that announced it, and they screwed
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 2: up unfortunately. So nothing on the artists of that cover,
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 2: but we knew this was happening. I think it's a
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 2: nice twist, especially the way this story progresses, uh with
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: you know, it intrigues you very first thing Okay, he's alive,
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: but why is this person acting as though this you
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: know that that scheve has like gone rogue? Like is
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: like why is he attacking? Like is it a lie
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: from this child of the storm or are they being
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 2: genuine with how like ferocious? Like those are the thoughts
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 2: that come to you with this whole Well.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, did you reread twenty twenty one before?
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: I did not reread twenty twenty one? Well, I don't
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: know if.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 3: You remember, but Skier was basically suffering from a Trandosan
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 3: disease where he reverted to his inner predator.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like basically, yeah, I remembered a little bit of that,
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 2: but I will admit I didn't remember it until it
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 2: was Heave that said it in the ruin that they
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: find him, you know, spoilers for literally the next issue
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 2: that we're about to talk about. So I was like,
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 2: oh my gosh, like what happened to him? What's going on?
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: And then like all of this happens, I'm like, oh, yeah,
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: totally forgot about that. That makes sense, But so go ahead.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 3: No, go finish your thought because I was gonna jump.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: Well, I was gonna say I still think that it's
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: still very fun storytelling. Yeah, no, it definitely is the
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: idea of anybody surviving Starlight Beacon is something to be like, oh,
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: like we have more survivors yay, you know, and then
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: the idea of like there could be more, you know.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 2: So I think the possibilities are fun and a little
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 2: bit endless. But how important Kiev has been to this
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: story since the very first issue of the first phase.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 2: I think that they have had a very weird relationship.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: It like it's been a little bit of tough love. Also,
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: like I think this is fun to keep them together
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: at least for now.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, definitely. What did you think about showcasing how basically?
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 3: I would say Issue three is probably a good sign
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 3: of where Kiev is headed with the Jedi Order, because
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 3: she insists to the New Republic Captain or not New Republic,
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 3: the Republic Captain that they're working with in the Defense
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 3: Force that they need to take back the Ataraxia.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 3: But then they take back the Ataraxia and don't go
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 3: back to your course hunt. They keieve Sarah and Tarik,
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 3: I'll get on the ship to go into the occlusion zone.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: To go after Skier, and they say it they're like, hey,
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 2: you said it yourself. You need a you know, a path, drive,
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: a you know this. This ship's got it. We're gonna go.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: And she's like, oh, but what about the prisoner? What
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 2: about Lorna? And they're like, well, we're about to go
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: into any enemy space. It might be nice to have
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: an enemy to go along with, you know, we don't
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 2: know what's going to be over there. So I like this,
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: But you do see how I think Keeve has always
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: been hardheaded, She's always had that mind of her own.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 2: But here there are so much more. There's so much more. Sorry,
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: words are hard right now. Her attention is only on
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: one thing. Hey how do I get my master back? Right?
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 2: And this is common in what we've already seen in
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 2: this third phase of the High Republic. We've seen it
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 2: with Avarn ls are we we are going to be
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: seeing it with the Blade himself now knowing that his
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: sister's alive. Like it is a common theme. So this
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 2: is not something that we should be like, why is
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 2: she like going against orders? Like this is this is freaking.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 3: The whole film of the High Republic Right now.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 2: Bell with Buriaga like you can't accept that you've lost
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 2: so much when those are the very little things that
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 2: you still have, you know, and that's what the Jedi
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 2: Order is struggling with right now. So I I really
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 2: dig this. I I love the somewhat callback or it
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 2: is a full callback with a somewhat callback of the
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 2: Tempest Runner from what we just talked about. He does
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 2: talk about her background. Oh, I know exactly who you are.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 2: I've read your file. I know that you were you know,
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 2: you were thrown into you know, a prison for this,
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 2: or a slavy for this, you know all of these
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 2: different things. But I also like the callback to Lorna
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 2: d not being the big monster that everybody thinks she is,
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 2: because the big thing that Lorna does to like, oh
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: you know what, I'm gonna get away, Well, I can't
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: get away because of all this cargo. You know what,
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 2: We'll just throw the cargo away. And we learned that
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 2: there's individuals people in the cargo, and you're like, oh
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 2: my god, she just like left them out there to die.
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 2: And even the Republic is like, oh, you know, get
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 2: them before their oxygen runs out, and they pick them
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 2: up and they're like, oh, well, there's actually a generator
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 2: in every single one of these, so they were never
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 2: going to die. And that's just the smart thinking and
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 2: Hue like the I was gonna say human side of
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 2: Lorna D, but like the generous side of Lorna D.
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 2: Like she can be a monster to survive, but we've
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 2: seen because of the tipp is Is Runner that she was
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 2: forced to become this person. Yeah, she still has a heart,
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 2: like she understands morals, what's good, what is bad, But
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 2: this is just who she is and she knows as
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 2: well as mostly everybody in the Night Hill that it's
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 2: killed or be killed, survive, you know, all of these
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 2: different things, and so that's what she's had to do.
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 2: But she is still has a small sliver of herself
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 2: still in there, and I really do like that.
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, most definitely. So the last issue of this volume
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 3: is issued number four, where we do get we get
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 3: a space. I loved the artwork in this. There's one panel,
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 3: not the one that you have as the cover image
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 3: or the cover of the issue itself, but there's one.
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 3: It's right after the flashback where she's been in space
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 3: for the first time and it's like now and like
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 3: it's just so good, Like it's so good, like This
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 3: is a really.
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 2: It's the doubles. It's the double splash page. It has
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 2: the the Scavenger droids. I forget what they were ye.
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 3: Where the yeah this I think they are scabdroids?
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 2: Are they scabdroids? The scavdroids destroying the ships that we
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 2: learned about this in the Temptation of the Force that
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 2: on the other side of the occlization zone again where
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 2: it's they're hard that the Nihill program these droids that
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 2: whenever there was a ship that came through without like
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 2: certain codes or whatever, that they would immediately attack those ships.
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 2: So we see them there and he has our lightsaber.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 2: It's a it's a very gorgeous uh double uh splash page.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 2: I really do love it. But we see here uh again,
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 2: this is where we see the different sides of Sarah
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 2: and Trek where I believe it was uh Sarah.
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, when they're working with the droid and then
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 3: like one of them is gonna torture Laurna Dee get the.
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 2: He he tries to do the Jedi mind trick. Oh,
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 2: you will tell us the codes, and she's resisting. You're
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 2: not gonna You're not gonna get anything out of me
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 2: to the point where he like starts to like choke
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 2: her or like do something in a way that is
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 2: actually hurting her. Keith tackles him and he is like
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 2: trying to say, like we have no other options, like
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 2: we gotta do this, Like what is wrong with you guys?
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 2: This is where we really start to see the divide
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 2: between this team, and I do like it because it
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 2: makes you question how far are they gonna go? Like
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 2: are they going to cross a line eventually? Like you
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 2: could say this crosses a line, but they didn't actually
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 2: go through with killing Lorna d or or whatever. There
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 2: is no actual physical harm like all of these other things.
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 2: Is there going to be a moment in this phase
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 2: where we see Sarah and Trek actually fight, like and
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 2: they are going to try to kill each other, Like
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 2: that's gonna be something that is it possible yes? Or
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 2: is it possible no? You know, we we don't know
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 2: at this point, but we do know that there is
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 2: a divide, that there is a struggle because we see
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 2: it even more when they are on a planet in
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 2: the oculation zone and like we see like their mind
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 2: is warped, their being tempted by like this divide that
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 2: they already have, Like it's it's going to be a
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 2: very interesting perspective to see which way they go.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't want to speak too much more on
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 3: them because I've read the other issues. I don't want
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 3: to spoil anything because we're going to get there. We're
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 3: going to get there, I promise. But yeah, no, you
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 3: bring up a lot of good points with them, for sure, but.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: We we do get After that, I think it was
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 2: Lorna Dee who mentions, oh no, no, no, it was
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 2: Sarah that mentions that there was a signal of some
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 2: kind of a trained Dosan attacking on a certain planet.
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 2: They get to that planet, which is kindo sorn is
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 2: the planet name. It's a jungle planet. They meet a
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 2: weird bird monkey that I believe it was Rna gets
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 2: attacks Lorna, but I think it was Sarah that kind
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 2: of takes it under his wings, like, oh, you know,
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 2: he's just scared, you know, you know, he doesn't need
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 2: to be attacked or whatnot. The next character that shows up,
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 2: I completely forgot about Orbiln. I was like, what the
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 2: heck is this Keeve? Here's a lightsaber and it's like,
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 2: oh crap, Like I gotta go, like what is this?
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 2: And she peeks around a bush and is attacked by
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 2: this blob with a green lightsaber, and I was like,
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 2: what the what is this? And it wasn't until the
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 2: flashback where they actually show Laura shooting him in the face.
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, I remember this. I didn't know
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 2: that's what inside. But okay, I love Orberlain.
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 3: He's so great.
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 2: I loved this character because of how ironically and un
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 2: ironically he has his heads. He has his head on
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 2: his shoulders the entire note, like the entire like it's
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 2: one giant blob, but like he's the only character that
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 2: is making sense throughout the entire thing. He is so
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 2: one with the force and is like, okay, like the
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 2: Nameless are coming. We know that they do this, this
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 2: and this. We have to stay calm, we have to
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 2: trust the force. Well, everybody's freaking out. Everybody's like and
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 2: he's just like, be okay, we're scared. That's understandable, but
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 2: let's just chill out, you know, do whatever. I also
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 2: forgot that there was an actual uh Jedi by the
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 2: name of goon Raw, who is the same species as
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 2: the character from Jedi Survivor.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 2: Uh, I love this nude Like I don't know how
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 2: new the species is to star Wars, but the design
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 2: is cool. Absolutely love them. Uh. But we see that
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 2: uh uh what's his name? It was Orbilin was the
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 2: one that saved him from the events that happened to Starlight.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 2: Lorna D was the one that that shot orblon of course. Uh.
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 2: And then we find out that uh goon Roll is
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 2: so oh beat up, like we see him getting shot
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 2: and everything from the Night Hill, but like the way
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 2: he looks now is not because of the Night Hill,
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 2: but it's because of Skier. Yeah. How did you like
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 2: the conversation and the events that happened thereafter with Keeve
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 2: and Lorna De within the Ruin? How did you feel
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 2: about the conversation that they had about like, you know,
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 2: Lorna De making the acknowledgment of like, hey you like
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 2: you're a little feisty now, like you have a little
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 2: bit of a dark side, you know, all this stuff,
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 2: and plus the inevitable meeting of Skier again, how did
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 2: you feel like all of that went down?
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 3: I feel like it went pretty good. Like I truly
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 3: love Lorna D as a character, like I fell in
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 3: love with her in the in the first comic run
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 3: the twenty twenty one run, and she's just such a
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 3: survivor and she's such a cynic at the same time,
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 3: Like I just and I love that she's just completely
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 3: honest with what she needs but then also calls out
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 3: the flaws that she sees and the highlights that she
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 3: sees in other people around her. So I think she
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 3: was a great addition to this because I didn't know
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 3: how they were going to handle her character when she
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 3: takes off with the Ataraxia at the end of Tempest Runner,
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 3: because we really didn't see her after that, so to
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 3: get her back was really special.
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 4: I think.
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 3: Scar, I'm excited to see what happens with Scar, Like,
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 3: you can't just kill him off now, right, You can't
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 3: just kill him off now.
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 2: I would not like, especially with showing how much of
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 2: an anchor he is to keep you right now. I
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 2: And I also think you kind of have to have
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 2: that heartbreaking moment with keeven skier when he finally does
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 2: decide like I'm leaving and I'm and I'm not coming back,
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 2: Like I think you need him for that moment, you.
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 3: Know, yeah, to answer your question about goon Ral's species.
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 3: His species is a Latero also known as a Lateran.
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 3: The first appearance was in Star Wars Jedi Fall in Order,
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 3: so that was a species specifically created for where that
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 3: video game.
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 2: That's awesome. Cool, So it is a newer species. That's fun.
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 2: But we reached the end of this volume with issue
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 2: number five, it being.
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 3: This, this volume is only issues one through four?
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 2: Is it really?
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah? We talked about the beginning how it was only
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 3: four issues.
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 2: Then why do I have issue five in this I.
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 3: Looked it up specifically. Oh that's weird Marble unlimited or
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 3: you bought the volume digitally?
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 2: I have it digitally. I don't know because it has
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 2: it has issue five, and then at the very end
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 2: of that it has revelations. Are you going to check
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 2: yours just in case?
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this says one through five. I looked it up
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 3: on Amazon and it said one through four. Oh crap,
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 3: I didn't breathe this at all.
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 2: Five, So you are not caught up until that moment,
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 2: right or.
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 3: No? So I read issues. I read through issue six
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 3: last month, so let me just slip through it real fast.
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 2: Okay, So I will say issue five is the interaction
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 2: with Skeeer, and then there is an event that happens
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 2: outside of the ruins with the other characters, with Sarah
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 2: and Tarret and the surviving to Jedi that are with them. Yes,
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 2: and we are with We are left with two little
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 2: cliffhangers at the very end of here, introducing a new
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 2: character as well as reintroducing an old character.
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 3: So yeah, the old character is is from the Phase
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 3: two run.
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what's his name?
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 3: Tay serh Yes, I love him, by the way, he's
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 3: so good seeing.
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 2: Him here again. There's this idea in Star Wars. I
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 2: can't think of any alien species as having a quote
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 2: unquote normal lifespan. It's it's I have to I have
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 2: to now think that every species can live well over
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 2: one hundred years old. That's just the way I have
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 2: to think of Star Wars now. And does that ruin
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 2: Star Wars? No, not at all. But seeing this character,
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 2: I'm like, how the hell are you still alive? That's
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 2: the first thought that I have. My second thought is cool,
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 2: he's still alive. Like, Okay, that's interesting. This leaves more
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 2: breadcrumbs to like, well, not necessarily bread crumbs. It it
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 2: connects the dots a little bit more for phase two
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 2: to phase three and like how they can tell that
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 2: interconnective story. Yeah, but my first thought is, how the
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 2: hell are you still alive? So it's just this idea
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 2: that these beings can just be really old. And I
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 2: have to be ok with.
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 3: The Sethi, which is Tayseric's species are actually from Legends
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 3: and they were a long lived species in Legends, with
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 3: elder individuals living for more than two hundred years, possibly
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 3: up to four hundred, So that is a reference there. No,
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 3: so this issue, I didn't really read the content, but
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 3: I flipped through and I remember most of it. I
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 3: love the fights that we get here. I love the
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 3: Sarah and Trek have to kind of they're facing the nameless,
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 3: but at the same time they're getting like they're face
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 3: off with the dream Gear that they never really got
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 3: from when one of them was captured by the drink
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 3: Gear in the twenty twenty one run. So I love
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 3: that that comes back into play. So yeah, and then
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 3: the reunion with Skier and getting him to get past
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 3: his syndrome. It's just a real highlight moment. I think.
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 3: Do I wish that there was kind of a little
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 3: more perspective from Skier in some of these scenes, yes,
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 3: because otherwise I think think that's why it feels a
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 3: little quick to get like that recognition from him. It
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 3: just feels a little quick from Cub's perspective. But if
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 3: you see kind of the flashbacks that he's getting, that could,
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 3: I think help with that a little bit.
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I enjoyed this issue Again. I do enjoy the
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 2: interaction with Lorna de Very sneakily grabbing Ceve's lightsaber, having
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 2: her moment to kind of strike Steer and kind of
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 2: make that confrontation even more hectic for a small bit.
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 2: I do like that. And this interaction with the illusions
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 2: of the drink gear outside of the ruin really messing
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 2: with Sarah and Trek goes again with this whole idea
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 2: that they can feel and think the exact same things. Uh.
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 2: And it was the other Jedi again forgot his name,
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 2: blob dude, uh Kattie or or Orbilin. Yeah, Orbilin reminding
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 2: Sarah like, hey, you know, just think through these things.
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 2: It's it's it's gonna be okay, and there being a
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 2: reassurance afterward where Sarah it's like, yes, I am one
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 2: with the force. The Force is with us. These are
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 2: all illusions, They're not gonna hurt you. But then there
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 2: actually was a nameless out there, uh and unfortunately kills
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 2: one of the other Jedi, and that's when we see
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 2: Tay show up and actually defeat the nameless at that moment.
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 2: But we get this to be continued moment at the
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 2: very end of this issue with uh, this small individual
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 2: and I don't know if this is a child or
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 2: I do think it's a child, okay, because they say hello,
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 2: little lady, and it's drawn very childish. But then I
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 2: was like, wait, what if she's just like the panel
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 2: is just really close up on her and like she's
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 2: not really that tall. So yeah, there's this individual with
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 2: purple eyes, purple suit, some sort of glove, like very interesting.
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know who this is anybody like this before.
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to see, gosh, where is it. It's not
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 3: on his Wikipedia Okay, so the purple so we've seen
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 3: this outfit before. It's in the Blade, Charles, I don't
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 3: think it's in the Blade. I think it's in the
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 3: Phase two main run as one of the as one
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 3: of like the Force user conference people. But then we
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 3: also get someone in this outfit in the Charles Soul,
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 3: I think it's Hidden Empire Run.
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 2: Hm hmm, okay, so I believe you're right. As far
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 2: as the Phase two Maine comic run, I think it
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 2: was the old dude. Wasn't uh the the main Jedi
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 2: what was his name? Remember he was having like PTSD
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 2: of like the husband, Yes, Tay's husband. He was having
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 2: flashbacks of this group attacking him as as a young wing.
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I'm back on tays Eric build our mac
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 3: surcer of the tune. I don't think that's right. Okay,
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 3: we may have to do some googling and come back,
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 3: uh next week.
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 2: I would you said it was part of the Jedda Council, Yeah,
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 2: Council of Wills.
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 3: No oh, let's go to Kira. You've got to be
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 3: here somewhere, Come on, Like.
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 2: I just recognize the So my first thought, I know
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 2: you haven't played the video game, and it would be
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 2: fun if this was like some sort of callback or connection,
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 2: some sort of way. In Knights of the Old Republic two,
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 2: there is a individual that you meet that can become
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 2: a part of your team who is blind but can
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 2: see through the force, and she wears an outfit like this. Okay, yea,
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 2: she has a bandage over her eyes and that's the
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 2: only difference comparatively. But that's what Okay, So I just
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 2: saw a posts your Star Wars have Republic one spoilers
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 2: over twelve verse appearances. Uh, we are seeing Sorcerers of Toun.
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 3: That was the Vildar Mac attack. I'm scrolling through the
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 3: Hidden Empire comic right now. This is gonna bug me.
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 2: Ah uh yeah, Combe.
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 3: Envoy Okay, that sounds.
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 2: Why a y A c O M B E ian
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 2: v O Y.
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 3: Spoke only through proxies. Yes, yep, that's it.
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, somewhere.
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 3: See I knew it was right too because they make
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 3: an appearance in Battle Jedda. It is not a hidden empire,
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 3: but it is higher public and then uh dooku Jedi lost.
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 2: So looking at the Wikipedia, the Yakombe were once au,
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 2: a group once associated with the dark side of the
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 2: Force and whose members only spoke through proxies.
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 2: Uh, the convocation of the Force, an advisory council, a
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 2: whole city moon of Jedi. Ye yeah yeah, so this
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 2: can be the potential connection with tay.
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 3: I guess yeah, because they don't end up joining the council.
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, this is interesting, I I but why is
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 2: it a child? You know?
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the question. I really thought that I had
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 3: seen them in the Hidden Empire, but that doesn't have
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 3: say that there's a reference. All right, I'll have to
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 3: scroll through and just see if I if I can
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 3: see him, because I really thought they were there. First
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 3: appearance was Duku Jedi lost in flashbacks, and then they
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 3: were first shown in the Higher Public twenty twenty two,
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 3: so very awesome.
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 2: But that leaves us with just the revelation story again.
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 2: It is literally one, two, three, four, five, six, six
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 2: issues or six pages is all is the digital comic.
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 2: It is within the oculation zone occlusion occlusion. I don't
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 2: know why I keep saying oculation, but this is in
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 2: the occlusion zone. And they are, oh, well, excuse me.
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 2: This is Gallimere and it's near the Night Hill occlusion zone.
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 2: It's near it. They are talking about.
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 3: Uh, they're trying to see if they can find a varvar.
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 2: In the beginning. In the beginning, uh, we see that
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 2: Kiev sees some night hill, she hears a lightsaber, she
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 2: goes towards it and ends up being in this kind
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 2: of firefight, but she notices some random individual with a lightsaber,
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 2: and this person's like, I don't know why they're so
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 2: many people fighting me. I'm not and she's like, yeah, clearly,
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 2: clearly you're not a Jedi ends up saving this individual,
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 2: and the moral of the story is that there is
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 2: always hope because of the morals of these individuals who
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 2: are still fighting to keep their planetary space outside of
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 2: Nihill space. I think it's a very fun story. It's
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 2: very small and short. It's not like something you need
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 2: to read or anything, but it's just a little bit of,
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 2: you know, hope in so much chaos and despair that
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 2: is Phase three so far.
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, it allows her to like kind of spread
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 3: the hope of the Jedi in that spot because while
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 3: she takes the lightsaber and says, I better hold on
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 3: to this, she says, you don't need to be you
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 3: don't need to have a lightsaber to give others hope.
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 3: And because that's what he picked it up was because
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 3: he was like, we needed a Jedi. And so it's
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 3: just a really cool little neat side story to kind
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 3: of tell us because this was a part of Revelations
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty three which was, Hey, this is where all
• 1:49:25
