0:00
Hello, there. It's time for most things
0:03
Kenobi. Hi everyone, welcome to another
0:19
episode of most things Kenobi. A podcast about Obi-Wan Kenobi
0:23
and all things. Star Wars.
0:25
I'm your host Leanne, and I'm your host Lauren.
0:44
And we're back. We're back.
0:47
We did it. We've crossed the ocean twice.
0:53
Yes and came back with a cold that we are both currently
0:58
experiencing. As we record this I'm coming out
1:01
of my cold but Lauren is in the thick of hers so we even share
1:05
illnesses as space twins. Be shared germs.
1:13
Yeah. So pardon me.
1:14
This is what has allowed allowed cold?
1:19
Yes. Well, he's kind of worth it.
1:25
We had we shared memories, we shared laughs.
1:30
It was good. I'm really proud of us for what
1:33
we did and yeah I'm really glad we got to do it together.
1:38
Me too. It was really fun and they're
1:40
just there's so many highlights. Oh my gosh, I was trying to
1:43
write some of them down the other day.
1:46
I got as far as the and or panel and then sort of deep diving
1:50
into it. I'm like I'm never ever gonna
1:53
get past this because just that alone was so much information.
1:59
Yeah, I do. Do have to say the panels that
2:01
we got to sit in on? We're probably the best ones,
2:05
especially for what you, and I enjoy the most out of Star Wars,
2:09
which is, and or clone wars and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
2:14
Yeah. In that order, we saw the Ahsoka
2:16
panel to, but those those other three were really, like, what I
2:20
would literally travel over an ocean to see any one of those
2:23
panels? Yes, there they were fantastic.
2:27
And the best part was is that Lauren and I Were there for the
2:30
10th anniversary, Clone Wars panel, at San Diego Comic-Con
2:34
and then we were in London together for the 15th
2:37
anniversary Clone Wars panel. So we're making a habit of this
2:44
and they're so good. Those Clone Wars panels are so
2:47
much fun because everyone on the panel is already a friend.
2:53
Like they are friends with each other and as as fascinating as
2:59
Dora was and as you know, emotional as the Obi-Wan was the
3:05
Clone Wars one was just Joy. It was like, being with old
3:09
friends, it really was. I mean I laughed more at that
3:13
panel that I did the entire weekend's worth of panels
3:16
together, including the one that I was on, so which wow that
3:23
happened, I will talk about it. That was so great.
3:27
That was awesome. And we got to see Dave filoni
3:31
tear up which is also a rare occurrence that is rare.
3:36
I've seen him many times now and he always kind of like a guy.
3:41
Let's we're not going to do that.
3:42
Like I don't want to have the emotional, put his hat over his
3:46
face and just be like gasp stop complimenting me.
3:50
But what he said, I thought was really beautiful.
3:53
He said that he made tales of the Jedi, basically, because he
3:56
loved the people. He worked with on Clone Wars so
3:58
much. In the voice actors that he made
4:01
up an excuse to get them all in a room together again and work
4:05
on a project together. I love that.
4:07
If I had that much ability to just, hey, I really like these
4:10
people. I'm gonna just make up a
4:12
television show to get them all back in a room together, that is
4:15
a tremendous amount of luckiness.
4:19
Yeah, seriously is a man with powers.
4:23
What he is? Yes.
4:25
Yes, I did not get to meet him. Not this time, I didn't Get to
4:29
meet anyone but Andy Serkis which I'm just fine with.
4:33
I made the man laughs. Oh, that was great.
4:35
Yeah, you got you got a really good interaction with him.
4:38
That was awesome. And you were creeping on Mads
4:43
Mikkelsen, which is totally fine.
4:47
Hey, he's Hannibal Lecter, he's used to creeps true.
4:55
Oh my God, I was just such a spaz about it too, but Yes, I've
5:00
Loved Mads Mikkelsen for I don't even know how long like a very
5:04
long time. And so to see him in person I
5:07
was totally geeking out, thank you for taking pictures because
5:10
I was way too nervous to see if you're if you're absolutely
5:14
welcome. I have no problem also being a
5:16
creep. For indulging other people and
5:22
trying to get an incognito photo without anyone noticing.
5:26
I love that. So buddy.
5:29
Yeah, the man has cheekbones that defy Humanity.
5:31
It's insane. So before we get into the thick
5:37
of things, I think we should. I think we should give a special
5:40
shout-out to the reason why I'm still a little bit choked up
5:47
over just being there and that's our friends that we got to hang
5:51
out with. Yeah, that honestly Meeting
5:55
those folks was one of the highlights of the whole
5:58
experience. Truthfully, let's call them out
6:03
Z Charlotte Salome Anna, Jeff, where Jeff Geoffrey?
6:10
I think he goes, he can go by Geoffrey Hale.
6:13
Excuse me, right? I pronounce it right at the
6:15
time. But without without the moments
6:20
that we had, with those very special individuals, it wouldn't
6:24
have been a special of a weekend.
6:25
Honestly. True.
6:28
There are patrons. Some of them.
6:31
They are our friends. There are listeners.
6:33
They are amazing people. And we are so happy.
6:36
We got to meet them and hang out with him and just deuce the Star
6:41
Wars thing together. Yes, I think it's amazing.
6:46
How it's just an example of when you put your genuine self out
6:51
there, you're like a magnet for people who are similar and
6:55
like-minded and like similar stuff to you.
6:59
And that's why that group, you know, Anna was friends with
7:03
Charlotte. It.
7:04
And we were kind of all friends with z and then we all got to
7:08
meet in person and it's just easy, you know, everyone gets
7:12
along even though it's the first time we met Anna.
7:15
Yeah, you know, it's so great. And there's that commonality.
7:19
Obviously, you love Star Wars, but I think that because we, you
7:24
and I are very particularly, like drawn to Luke and Obi-Wan
7:28
and Anakin Clone Wars, especially it makes for Really
7:34
special group of people that we end up hanging out with,
7:38
including even other plane ride home going through security at
7:44
the airport. Is we met a young teenage girl
7:48
who was like? Oh, I like your sweater.
7:50
No one ever has Clone Wars Obi-Wan on anything.
7:54
Yeah. Yeah.
7:55
And she was just adorable and was so jazzed about Star Wars
8:00
and didn't even know celebration existed.
8:03
Yeah. And she She yelled at us through
8:05
security, May the force be with you and she was waving and if
8:09
that isn't the spirit of what brings us all together, and what
8:14
celebration is, and what cons are, you know, yeah, it's really
8:19
great. Absolutely.
8:22
All right. So where do we even start with
8:24
any of this? I mean, I think we just go day
8:28
by day because that's okay. That'll probably be our easiest
8:31
way to get through it all. Well, my He started before yours
8:35
because I had to get to you first.
8:37
Yeah. And then the plane ride to
8:41
London was effortless. The train ride to our hotel was
8:45
an experience new for me. And so we traveled on Wednesday,
8:51
got there on Thursday morning and went over and got our badges
8:55
Thursday afternoon, and that was our first official look at how
9:01
it was going to look the next day when it officially began.
9:04
And it looked pretty cool. I mean it was real it was
9:07
happening. By the time we took our first
9:09
picture, it was like, oh my God. Yeah, I'm glad we went and got
9:13
our badges the night before, because it was a shit show the
9:17
next morning when we got there, oh my God, it wasn't just the
9:20
next morning. It was a shit.
9:21
Show the whole weekend. Yeah, that's true.
9:24
I will say, like, I felt like Comic-Con was a lot for me and
9:29
that's why I kind of preferred celebration because it was like
9:32
Comic-Con, but like died down B, there weren't as many people.
9:35
You can walk around. This was worse than Comic-Con.
9:39
I don't know how many people attended, but it was so packed.
9:44
The first of all, if there had been an emergency, we had all
9:47
died. Yeah, we said that all weekend
9:50
like just the sheer amount of people per square foot in that
9:57
in the Excel Centre I have to say I haven't been to other
10:01
celebrations, this was my first celebration, so I I really don't
10:04
have a library to pull from you've been to several but
10:09
compared to the San Diego Conference Center, where San
10:15
Diego Comic-Con is held. They had a third of the people
10:20
at the celebration and it felt like claustrophobic.
10:23
Yeah. And in my opinion, I don't think
10:26
the Excel Centre is a place that can host large amounts of people
10:30
in panels in queueing lines. We had No idea where we were
10:35
going. Where do we line up?
10:36
What do we do? What time?
10:39
You know, the people who are working there?
10:40
God bless them. They were just trying to hang
10:43
on. You did seriously.
10:45
Oh my God. The food vendors alone?
10:48
I don't know how they managed to deal with as much garbage.
10:53
Literally garbage and garbage. You know, angry people and it
10:59
just everything. It was a lot.
11:02
It was a lot of toilets didn't work, can we?
11:04
Like the toilets because you know how I feel about the
11:08
toilets. The toilets did not flush a one
11:11
out of every four. Toilets flushed in the Excel
11:13
Centre, you know, there are quite a lot of bathrooms but
11:16
when there's like, I don't know, a hundred thousand people trying
11:19
to use them. It was insane.
11:22
Yeah. It was a lot, but it looked
11:25
great. The artwork was hanging up in
11:27
the hallway and you you and I both loved the artwork.
11:29
We weren't we weren't alone. Everyone loved the artwork.
11:32
It was fabulous. Oh my God.
11:35
It's sold out really fast. Yeah and it was really
11:39
expensive. Oh my gosh.
11:41
I know what they did offer well-deserved.
11:44
The artist is super talented and she was saying that she made.
11:49
I don't even remember how many images total, but it ended up
11:54
being where each individual character.
11:56
If you laid them out in a certain format, it was one giant
12:00
image so that the Ville the backgrounds connected and It and
12:05
freaking amazing but I could not afford it.
12:08
No, it was. It was pretty pricey but you did
12:12
manage to get Han Solo Princess Leia and Cassie and and or on
12:16
your badges. I did so happy and she even
12:20
posted, I think Z shared with me.
12:23
She posted a tweet saying that she fought for Cassie and that
12:28
they had wanted. Yes.
12:29
Another Return of the Jedi character and she was like, no,
12:32
you're putting Cassie and so when I Her at her table.
12:35
I shouted. Thank you for putting kissing on
12:37
the badges and she's like you saw my tweet.
12:40
Yes it was listen and, or was probably the most vocal cosplay.
12:48
Oh yeah, fan group, it had a huge presence and I was so happy
12:54
that it did because everyone kind of said like it was gonna
12:58
be the sleeper show and it was, you know, it.
13:02
Yeah. It didn't have the same star.
13:04
Bohr's formula that other shows did everyone loved it and it
13:08
showed. Yeah, just the amount of
13:12
prisoners running up and down the aisles, one way out.
13:18
One way out, you know, and then they got on stage and it was
13:20
this thing. And, and or panel was amazing,
13:23
just to hear Tony Gilroy get it here and vocalize it.
13:29
Fantastic. And I just like that whole
13:32
panel, each person who was on there.
13:34
Is an unexpected choice for maybe a panel like this, you
13:40
would think the actors would be on there and you know it was
13:44
Tony Gilroy Kathleen, Kennedy Diego Luna.
13:48
Then it was the editor who is actually Tony Gilroy is brother
13:52
and one of the writers is also trying to kill Troy's brother,
13:55
Andre had. They had the oh God, I can't
13:59
remember it off the costume. Kashia, the cutter costume
14:02
designer. Nick Nicholas.
14:04
Tell the the composer and then they have the set designer, the
14:09
like production designer who designed all of the barracks and
14:13
all the sets. Yes, each one of those people
14:17
are geniuses on their own, it was really nice to hear from
14:22
each one of them, their insights.
14:24
So intelligent and like, yes. Like you said, the inside, just
14:28
blew my fucking mind. They went, they explained things
14:31
that even though I'm obsessed with this show, Blew my mind and
14:35
I was like, the I knew it was there.
14:37
I just didn't know what it meant and they never told you what it
14:39
meant. They just needed it to mean
14:41
something to them, like the gifs.
14:44
On the wall. Yes.
14:45
The gloves on the wall. Yeah.
14:47
We talked about how little elements like this really
14:49
fucking matter. Yeah, it really matters and it
14:53
matter to them and it showed. Yeah.
14:57
And like it informed, the music, the design, the writing, the
15:01
acting everything, but they never explained it to the
15:03
audience, like, you. And I, when we first saw even
15:06
mentioned that the shot of all the gloves hanging on the wall
15:09
and how it's a mining town and that was really meaningful.
15:13
But Tony Gilroy said, those gloves are passed down from
15:18
father to son or, you know, parent to child.
15:21
They have a specific place on the wall and it means something,
15:24
it's a union hall. And he's Like that's the kind of
15:28
show we wanted to be. We wanted to make those kind of
15:30
creative choices and you know why every character does what
15:35
they do, even Diego, Luna has said like his costumes, head,
15:38
zippers and Pockets that were specific for Cassian and he knew
15:42
what they were for. I mean, that's fucking awesome.
15:47
I know, it's it was you and I were sitting there like nodding
15:52
Unison because it's like, yes, exactly.
15:55
Yes, exactly. We kept like saying, It in our
15:57
minds. Yeah, because it is just a
16:02
cohesive unit and you could tell that everyone on that stage.
16:06
That was part of what part of the panel, but a part of the
16:09
show were all in. They were all in step with each
16:13
other. Yeah.
16:14
And it was a seamless adaptation into the show and it was it was
16:21
really beautiful. Some fun facts.
16:24
Like They chose the dam for the L Donnie.
16:31
Right. That whole storyline was the
16:33
first hydrologic damn ever. Yeah.
16:36
Which to me as someone who's deep in hydrology, I didn't know
16:41
that. So what even that like meant
16:44
something to them? Like they're like, oh we need a
16:47
damn and we needed to be somewhere, you know?
16:49
And the fact that they built sets they went out and did it in
16:54
like in real life. Life.
16:55
Yeah, said of a blue or a green screen, right?
16:58
We've been seeing it since day one and that it really showed
17:01
and it really matters and then they gave voice to that at the
17:05
panel and it was nice to just hear it was validating but I
17:10
think it was really validating for them to see like the like
17:13
the people who were there for those panels really fucking like
17:18
that show. Yeah.
17:20
It's not just like casual interest and like the fact that
17:24
they had the Like you said the prisoners and while you're
17:27
walking through the convention, all of a sudden, you hear one
17:30
way, one way out and gets louder and louder.
17:32
And then like hundreds of them, I have 100 over just running
17:37
down the aisle, and there's no room for them.
17:39
So, the fact that people parted ways are did the, the see there
17:43
to let them through, and not only that, but some of them had
17:46
like, inflatable, unicorn, rafts and Lifesavers.
17:50
And they, they added humor to it, which I fucking appreciate
17:54
so much. Well, you know what's really
17:56
appropriate to? It's because they always play
17:58
The Ten Commandments on Easter on TV and pose was easily.
18:04
So Moses split the Red Sea for an Arcana. 52 runs.
18:09
Yes, it's so good. Oh my God.
18:14
It was so good. I really enjoyed.
18:17
I'm glad we got to see that. I mean, we me and you agreed.
18:22
We both had to try and get to that one.
18:23
And I'm glad we got to see that. And they showed a preview for
18:27
the upcoming season. Yeah.
18:30
II was. I loved it and then I don't know
18:32
if you noticed, but at the end they show Cassian like dressed
18:37
to the nines and his hairs like all slicked back and he looks
18:41
perfect sexy and he turns to the camera and the audience just
18:44
went what. Yeah, it was really good.
18:49
You know, he looks, he looks different but he looks really
18:53
good in that scene, he looks Beautiful.
18:55
He looks like he's like with mon mothma somewhere?
18:58
I don't know. He looks like Regal almost like
19:02
he's probably undercover somehow.
19:05
I don't care. But I'm here for it.
19:07
Yes I am. I can't wait.
19:10
I think it's going to be great. It's the only other season.
19:14
We're getting of it, right? Yeah.
19:16
There's only I mean we know where it goes and they said it's
19:19
going to go right up to where Rogue one begins.
19:22
Yeah literally Cassie and walking Onto the ship to go to
19:26
the Ring of caffeine. I'm I'm like so excited and so
19:31
nervous. They keep talking about how they
19:34
want you to see Rogue one with a fresh eyes.
19:39
I don't want to, I know what you mean.
19:44
There's some cautious optimism there.
19:46
Yeah. Like I feel like what they did
19:48
with season one beautifully dovetails and makes kissy and
19:53
make sense and I'm just really afraid.
19:55
They're gonna make a statement about something that fans have
19:59
opinions on or somebody's. Like I hope that because it's
20:03
Tony Gilroy Hill and he was he was not like a lead writer but
20:07
he had a lot to do with Rogue one.
20:09
You know, he actually is the reason broke one got finished
20:12
and like, he did rewrites enough to actually get like a lead
20:16
writing credit of the, on the movie.
20:18
So, I pray to God above that. He's not gonna mess up what I
20:24
love. And just like have it seamlessly
20:27
tie in and just add like, more to it.
20:31
That's like you said I'm cautiously nervously optimistic.
20:35
Yes. Right.
20:36
I know, I guess we'll just have to wait and see what we're
20:40
definitely gonna have to get K. Right?
20:42
Like K is going to be 0 here. I mean that's the thing.
20:45
I was expecting it and season one and we didn't get it.
20:47
So yeah, it's definitely happening and I'm excited for
20:51
it. Did you see backstage somebody
20:54
with star? Wars.com I think was asking
20:57
Diego Luna to pick. Did he prefer be or k0?
21:02
He was like, I can't answer that.
21:04
He's like I won't I'm not gonna answer.
21:06
He said that it looks like B is like the best friend you could
21:09
ever have and he's useless. But K is like could help you
21:16
with any situation. He's like no I refuse to answer
21:18
that. I like both.
21:19
Yeah that's like we did get to meet.
21:22
Be too emo e mo. Is it me too?
21:25
Yeah, I'm ob2 emo. It was they were in the hallway,
21:29
I could get gassy and, you know, and his head went up and down.
21:32
It was so cutie at this little, the one eyeball or I really make
21:39
this into a humanite, humanized thing, but it really isn't.
21:42
It's just a Droid. What is that?
21:44
Oh, if someone is going to sell some be like, if they do abuse,
21:49
you is something. I will buy it because he's so
21:51
fucking cute. I love him.
21:53
Yeah. And He did the final he brought
21:59
Marva to Life One Last Time and to me that was the most crucial
22:03
moment in the entire Series so far the season the winner gets
22:10
kicked over bra. So yes the bright I started.
22:13
Yeah that's it, that's it. No one harms the innocent Droid?
22:18
No well I guess that dovetails into me meeting Andy Serkis as
22:25
Reef is it was? It was a delight.
22:27
Yeah, he's signed the picture one way out, of course, it's
22:32
great. And I said to him, Well, you
22:38
know, everyone knows I love Lord of the Rings and Andy Serkis is
22:41
Golem, okay? Golem is the Keystone of
22:45
everything that transpires in Lord of the Rings.
22:49
In fact, Frodo couldn't finish his journey without Smeagol /
22:54
Golem, right? Andy Serkis is that.
22:56
So to Me, Andy Serkis is Lord of the Rings first and Star Wars
23:00
second. So that was why I chose to get
23:03
an autograph from him and just thank him.
23:06
For his roles, in both of my most favorite fandoms, Lord of
23:10
the Rings and Star Wars. And I said he's writing, you
23:14
know, he's trying to get my name spelled correctly and he's doing
23:17
the one way out thing and I'm just talking because that's what
23:19
I do. And I said, thank you for making
23:22
me. Crying, Lord of the Rings and
23:24
then making me cry in Star Wars. Thank you for that.
23:28
I know, it's not every day. That a woman thinks a man for
23:30
making her cry. But here I am, and he made him
23:33
laugh. So hard.
23:35
That he had to stop writing altogether.
23:36
Other and his assistant in the back was laughing.
23:40
And I said, no. But for real though, Andy like,
23:42
for real, and he's like, oh no. I get it.
23:44
Thank you. He's like he was laughing.
23:48
He's, he's kind of precious. I'm not gonna lie.
23:51
He's very humble for the amount of talent that He has.
23:54
Yeah, in his wide array of roles and the shit they make him do as
24:01
he wears the dot suit, you know, for multiple roles.
24:05
He's got this crazy. Vocal performance, but then he
24:08
does really physical. I mean, obviously he's done
24:12
schmegle. Smeagol schmegle.
24:15
And then he was a big, big lie? SRI, go on a bagel.
24:20
Yes, that's what I was thinking, Shmi, or Smeagol.
24:26
He's physically snoke. When he was, he was doing that
24:30
role for Star Wars and then he's, like, Planet of the Apes.
24:34
He actually does the like physical.
24:36
Stuff. He says they give him these
24:37
little, like, they're kind of like crutches so that he can do
24:41
like walking on his knuckles, kind of like it.
24:44
Yeah, it's crazy easy. He had two as Gollum, he had to
24:49
be crouched like a frog. Most of his performance which is
24:55
On thinkable to me how uncomfortable that would get
24:59
after some time. Yeah, I need to do it for three
25:01
films because he's in all three films, so I don't know.
25:05
Hats off to him. He had an amazing performance in
25:09
and or the the performance that made me cry.
25:12
Yeah, literally break down. I mean, that was the most moving
25:16
besides Marva. Those two were the ones that
25:20
brought me to my knees crying with that show.
25:23
It was a pleasure. It was an absolute pleasure to
25:25
get to spend five minutes thanking him for making me cry
25:29
and all the movies that he's bending.
25:34
Shout out to the DLR and London but forgetting our ass
25:41
everywhere. The real MVP is the DLR which
25:46
was the hbic of London that we get, it was man, those trains
25:52
carried a lot of smelly, smelly people over the oyster has a
25:59
whole new meaning to me. It is no longer a Shellfish,
26:05
mollusk thing that you eat, it's it's a way of life to the
26:12
regular londoners trying to go about your business.
26:15
We apologize. And we thank you for your
26:17
patience. We did take over the, the lines
26:23
leaving. I mean, you and I were trying to
26:25
eat our last bit of food for the day, which was terrible Friday
26:30
evening, and they wanted us out at seven.
26:33
And when they said, Seven. They meant seven.
26:35
They were shouting at us to hurry up and finish our food.
26:38
So we could leave. I mean, wtf and we didn't.
26:43
Yeah, we didn't, we said, fuck you.
26:45
What are we going to go do stand in line for the DLR?
26:48
Like, yeah. And that's what they, I mean, I
26:51
think we did it right, we sat there.
26:52
I ate really slow. And that sea of humanity, the
26:56
walk past us was, I don't know. 30 minutes long, at least solid
27:01
people just walked all looking right past.
27:03
It was Saying, see the thing about the Excel Centre that made
27:07
it. So just not great for a con is
27:11
that there's seating and restaurants and kiosks and food
27:15
things all the way down the middle.
27:17
Yeah. And it split people into a left
27:21
and a right aisle. And it squeezed, it squeeze them
27:25
in. And so there was nowhere for you
27:27
to spread out and get any fucking are ya and cue lines
27:32
were on the opposite side of the hall as where the actual main
27:37
stage was. So they had to split.
27:40
When the queue line was moving into the main stage area, for
27:44
the panel, they had to stop the main flow of traffic.
27:47
Yeah, to get us to cross the thing which is It's insane to
27:52
think about just not the most efficient Convention Center that
27:57
I've seen well, and even the convention floors, like the
28:01
shopping areas that everything, those were total height in,
28:04
they're gonna split and like there was half of it on one side
28:08
then you'd have to cross the hall full of a million people to
28:12
get to the other side and it was just the flow was really bad.
28:18
It was really tight. Was it was?
28:19
It was you couldn't Really take time to enjoy some of the cool
28:24
things like they had statues from Return of the Jedi, they
28:27
had a k2s oh there they and they change them out every day.
28:30
They put new props and different things up every day and and they
28:34
had a cool set up with a death star.
28:36
And you could hold Vader and Luke's lightsaber is and get
28:39
your picture taken. Couldn't get near it.
28:41
There just was no way to get near any Booth.
28:44
We bought nothing. We bought II was able to snag a
28:48
like three pins and two. Or three items from the main
28:52
shopping. The main, like merchandise store
28:55
for the con, and that was it because you couldn't get near
28:57
anything else. It was impossible.
28:59
It was it was insane, which was probably better for my wallet in
29:03
the lawn upset. But totally.
29:06
Yeah, I mean, even, even getting into the store, the official
29:10
store. Thank God.
29:11
We had, we won a lottery to get a reservation piece, but the
29:15
store by the time you get in, it's like, it's like a bomb.
29:19
Goes off. Like the, the Stuff is just
29:21
thrown all over the place. It's spilling off shelves.
29:25
People just pick it and throw it.
29:27
If they don't want it. It's it's a mix of being
29:30
disorganized and also people just like running through and
29:35
just grabbing throwing stuff and I guess we got a few items from
29:40
the store that we're good. You got what you were looking
29:42
for. I got the poster of the artwork
29:44
that was good. I really only bought one thing,
29:47
I bought the poster and then because we're Couldn't get close
29:51
to the booth, I bought the Vader.
29:54
Comic online later, write the little QR code that I could scan
29:59
from their Booth, but that was all I got for myself.
30:02
Yeah, I would have liked to have had that comic, but I didn't
30:05
want to pay the exorbitant shipping fee, but they didn't
30:07
have enough to bring. They didn't print in time or
30:09
something. So it's like it was kind of
30:10
constant disorganization the entire weekend.
30:13
Oh my gosh. And the wife, I remember the
30:15
wife wasn't working. What is what is it that that was
30:19
frustrating for us? But as the vendors, they
30:22
couldn't get their credit card machines to work, because the
30:25
Wi-Fi was terrible, it was just like it was chaotic.
30:30
It was very frustrating in that sense.
30:32
So, I mean, it has my experience that I will say at Anaheim in
30:38
Chicago, were much better than what I had in London because of
30:43
the flow. The panels were still amazing.
30:48
Yeah, yeah. And by Saturday, we had the
30:50
Clone Wars 15th anniversary panel, which was like we already
30:54
said, just an absolute Delight. Yeah, I think I'll add filoni
30:58
talking right here. Oh, nice, because I got him
31:01
tearing up. Up and I'll put it in here and I
31:06
take you with me on every project I've ever on your so
31:10
meaningful to me. And I'm so grateful for your
31:13
hard work and what you've given Star Wars and myself.
31:16
So thank you guys. So you know, anytime we get to
31:22
hear filoni speak not only is he effortlessly funny.
31:28
He's as genuine as they come. He's humble and he's just
31:31
brilliant. He's a smart man who understands
31:34
Star Wars in our opinion. And he he's I really want
31:44
success for him on and on and on beyond what success, he's
31:49
already gathered because I really like him now.
31:52
I don't know him personally but I like him as a person.
31:54
From what I see, seems like a cool dude.
31:57
Seems like a down-to-earth, Just Another Star Wars fan who made
32:01
it. He just happened to make it.
32:02
You know, he's got the talent. He was in the right place at the
32:04
right time and now he's bringing us the stuff.
32:08
And he's also which we saw at the Ahsoka panel that was also
32:11
on Saturday, wasn't it? Yeah.
32:13
That was that was the first thing we went to Saturday.
32:15
Yeah. Sokka was in the morning Clone
32:17
Wars was Saturday, was my panel in the afternoon and then Clone
32:21
Wars was right after that. So Saturday was the busiest day.
32:24
Yeah, but I love that. He's working in Timothy zahn's
32:29
heir to the Empire book out of Legends and bringing it into
32:32
Cannon. Thank you Dave.
32:34
Yes, if you do it right, which I have faith, you will you Can see
32:38
it in Mandalorian book. A Boba Fett.
32:40
You could see little pieces Davis, pulling pieces of
32:43
Legends. Oh, yeah, in and making it
32:45
Cannon. So I have a feeling he sets his
32:48
like long-term goal as a Star Wars fan because everyone was
32:52
kind of like, oh, it's Legends, like it's not qualified anymore,
32:58
right? So he is kind of like, doubt it
33:00
is. Yeah, now it is Canon, you know.
33:01
So I think it's great and I loved all my God, I love the
33:06
original. Thrawn Trilogy, I loved those
33:09
books. And Lars is officially Lars
33:12
Mikkelsen. We got another Mickelson in the
33:14
end. The group.
33:16
Yeah, the other Mickelson I should say.
33:19
Yeah. There's about 15 scars guards
33:21
out there. So I get them confused, there's
33:23
two Mickelson's 15 scars guards and a few other but Lars came
33:28
out. I think you may have had just a
33:30
little twinkle of a tear in his eye for the reception.
33:33
He got as thrawn I'm very excited to see him in live
33:36
action. Me too.
33:37
No one else can do that. He's jumping he's got the voice
33:43
but he's also built for it like he is that live scary kind of
33:49
yes under estimating him because he's quiet and it's just like oh
33:55
he's got to be perfect. Yes.
33:58
And he's got that creep factor of like someone who was playing
34:01
chess with you while you are playing checkers.
34:04
Yes, like that's thrawn and he's got it.
34:07
So Yeah, but you and I both said, if we're going to, if
34:10
they're going to do this, heir to the Empire and they literally
34:12
set it in the Ahsoka trailer, heir to the Empire.
34:15
Yeah. Luke has to show up at some
34:17
point. You can't have heir to the
34:18
Empire without Luke Skywalker. I know they've turned it into
34:22
like a Rebels thing. But heir to the Empire is about
34:26
Luke Skywalker. This is a loop.
34:27
Yeah. Okay, don't fuck this up.
34:30
We need to say it. Like you want us so far with
34:34
Luke and his few appearances if you're going to do it, do it
34:39
right? Yeah.
34:40
Right. I think they will.
34:41
I think they will. They will it's me channeling
34:44
into the. Yes, it's true.
34:45
I mean, what they've done with Luke so far has been very
34:48
respectful of Luke and actually redeeming of the character that
34:53
we wanted to see and actually Mark Hamill has even said, you
34:58
know how? Yeah.
34:59
Meaningful. That was for him as well.
35:01
Yes, yes. And I think they're it's clear
35:05
that this creative That's in charge of Star Wars right now is
35:10
working very hard to make amends so to speak for Lusher, better
35:15
term. I mean like with Ahmed best is
35:17
another great example. Yes.
35:19
You know and of course even even Hayden Hayden who did tear up
35:26
and choked up and had a hard time speaking when he was on the
35:29
live stage. Yeah.
35:30
At his he continues to be shown a whole new realm of act and
35:38
that people really do want him in this fandom and appreciate
35:41
him for what he brings to the very important character in this
35:45
in this whole storyline. You know, there would be none of
35:48
this without the Obi-Wan, Obi-Wan and Anakin and the fact
35:51
that Ewan and Hayden are reprising their roles.
35:54
And we'll talk about that when we get to that panel when we
35:56
recount that because that was just emotional as fuck, of
36:01
course it was but Hayden is getting what he deserves.
36:07
Nerves and its really nice to see.
36:09
It's just been incredible. You know, the reception that you
36:14
guys have given the show. I've just had a blast and you
36:23
get to be here and see all of you guys and see all the
36:27
costumes and all the sort of the love that you guys have have the
36:31
franchise. It really means a lot to me.
36:34
So thank, I think you can see on his face that like, he looks to
36:40
me like a person who has lived his whole life feeling like that
36:43
was a moment of embarrassment and realizes Has all of a sudden
36:48
that he's like the last one to the party to realize that it's
36:52
actually really, really loved you.
36:55
And you and his even said as much in interviews that like at
36:58
the time there wasn't internet like there is now.
37:02
And so the the voices they were hearing were critics mostly hmm.
37:08
And they weren't hearing and especially because he was saying
37:12
it's made for the kids and so the kids don't have a voice.
37:16
Now those kids are grown up. And those kids have a very loud
37:19
voice. And yes so they're finally which
37:22
is weird like what 20 years later.
37:24
They're finally getting the love that they they had all along but
37:28
didn't know because those people didn't have a platform to speak
37:32
on, you know, so it's pretty cool to be in the room with
37:36
these people and see the realization, you know, like I'm
37:39
Haynes face where he's like, suddenly super emotional because
37:42
it's like, it's, I don't know, it's an experience.
37:46
You can't put into words. We appreciate just all these
37:49
people and I'm really happy to have been a part of showing them
37:53
the love that, I think they deserve and we don't know
37:56
anything about Lars Mikkelsen yet in his role.
37:58
But we do from Rebels because he was the voice of throwing.
38:01
So I have no doubt that he will be well received.
38:04
Yeah. I mean, it was already brought
38:06
to tears and we haven't even seen his performance yet.
38:10
Yeah. So I can't wait.
38:14
And then that leads to the panel that I sat in on and oh my God,
38:19
I lived. It was so fun.
38:25
It was actually extremely interesting.
38:28
I don't really know if I should talk during that's because I was
38:32
up there. No, you can't.
38:33
You could say what it was. Like, I mean as an observer it
38:36
was really fascinating because I was all about the science of
38:39
Return of the Jedi. So they had like a person who is
38:42
specializes in laser Reserves. And what was that other guy?
38:46
The German guy worked on particle accelerators.
38:49
So that's right. It was all about energy.
38:52
Yeah. And essentially, they had people
38:54
there that scientists that worked with particle
38:57
accelerators, lasers paleontology, and like
39:03
biological evolution and social sciences the social science.
39:07
I thought was a really cool addition honestly to the pan
39:10
because people forget about that side of science.
39:13
Yeah, and it's and it's an important part.
39:16
It is, it's a human behavior and that's a huge part of Science in
39:22
general. You can't with some science you
39:25
can't have one without the other when it comes to like progress
39:28
and invention and things like that.
39:30
So but he was talking even about like the external gays and how
39:36
we have our own biases that we use to observe and judge other.
39:43
Deities that we have know nothing about.
39:45
And so, to talk about like, the, he walks as primitive he was
39:49
saying is actually showing your bias because yeah, you're not an
39:53
Ewok for all, you know, they're very Advanced and their own
39:56
Society. So I thought that was a really
39:58
fascinating point of view that I had never ever thought about
40:02
before. Right?
40:04
Well, that was the fun part about being on a panel like
40:06
this, to hear it from a scientific standpoint.
40:11
You know is a lightsaber Possible, how much energy does
40:16
it take in one lightsaber? What about the death stars that?
40:21
You know and then of course, the question of what happens to the
40:25
Ewoks, which I commented this not great news.
40:29
Yeah. All that radiated Fallout
40:33
hanging in the atmosphere of end or is it going to isn't going to
40:35
go well for the Ewoks? But you know, it was fun to
40:39
contribute and Atmospheric science point of view.
40:43
You to places like Tatooine and and or and just talked about is,
40:49
they're actually water on Tatooine, there has to be right
40:52
and single World by single biome World such as tattooing.
40:56
Exactly. I my answer is there is no
40:59
really single world. There's always I mean, there's
41:02
dominant biome but not single biome, right?
41:06
I mean look at the macro scale and then dig down into the sand
41:09
and see what you've got going on under there.
41:11
I mean you were guys were even About you made the great point
41:15
of all of the huge predators that live on TV screen are under
41:20
the sand. There's sub.
41:21
Yes, soil. And so I made the point like
41:25
where are they getting their water to live underground?
41:27
All the time got to be aquifers right?
41:29
Right. They're not eating enough people
41:31
to sustain their eyes. Yes.
41:35
And they're not they're not above ground to produce more of
41:39
the molecules necessary to put more you know, respiration and
41:43
In and evaporation into the atmosphere.
41:45
So it's fun to look at things from.
41:47
A scientific point of view that are completely fake.
41:51
Yeah. But it's fun because that's what
41:53
it's not the same time, it's real.
41:56
Tatooine is real. Okay?
41:58
Well that's the thing. I think that most people with
42:00
Star Wars kind of want that answer of like, yes, it is
42:02
possible. And everyone's like whoa, yeah,
42:06
I hope everybody bought my answer.
42:07
When I said that there is what there's always moisture.
42:11
There's always a bit of humidity in even Most arid parts of our
42:15
planet, for instance. So I went I went to an
42:19
astrobiology conference which was so fascinating and there
42:24
they were talking about how life lives under extreme
42:26
circumstances. So you could go to the depth of
42:29
the ocean where there's no light at all, their animals that are
42:33
evolving and thriving. And then you can go to the top
42:36
of the tallest mountain where there's like, no oxygen for
42:39
survival. And there's nothing, but arid
42:41
dirt and you can find bacteria Area in the soil.
42:44
Yeah, you know, so yeah, it's really fascinating to apply that
42:49
then to science fiction because, as much as I love science and
42:56
find astrobiology is especially like very fascinating.
43:00
They're wrong a lot. Oh yeah.
43:03
Yep. Yes.
43:06
So it's cool that you there's like these different definite,
43:10
things about science. And then there's a lot of, like
43:12
Theory You apply to things that you can't ever actually,
43:15
physically study. So there is no certainty.
43:19
Like sure that could exist who's to say not, you know, it's
43:23
really cool. Well, the greatest thing about
43:26
science is that there will always be theories and as long
43:29
as there are always theories, there's always a mind looking
43:31
for an answer to prove, you know, to find the fact or to
43:36
prove the theory or to, you know, bring some substance to
43:40
it. Which if you're not constantly
43:42
thinking for Word, you're not a very good scientist, so that
43:47
applies even to the fake, so-called fake worlds of our
43:51
Star Wars Galaxy. And it was really, I want to say
43:55
this. It was really humbling to be
43:59
asked to be on the panel and it was an incredible experience to
44:02
be on the panel. And I want to thank James Floyd
44:05
from Star Wars ologies and starwars.com for inviting me to
44:08
be up there with a panel of amazing scientists who are
44:11
absolute Geniuses. And for him to count me one
44:15
among that, that was extremely flattering and only, not only
44:18
that, but what was a packed house?
44:20
And my friends were there, my new friends, and my old, thank
44:23
you for coming to support me and if anyone wants to Actually
44:27
listen to the panel Star Wars ology podcast, run by James.
44:32
Floyd and I believe perhaps maybe he has a team of people.
44:35
They will have the entire thing recorded so you can listen to it
44:38
there. So yes.
44:40
Head on over to Star Wars ologies, they will have it but I
44:43
will also add a clip here from the panel itself where I'm
44:47
speaking. The fourth lightning if we're
44:49
actually talking lightning lightning itself when it comes
44:53
from a cloud. You know, thunder?
44:55
Right. You can do the 1.
44:57
And two 1000 three, see how far away the lightning actually
45:00
struck. If palps is doing the Force
45:03
lightning, there would be a barrage of sound because what
45:08
lightning does is split the air mass in half and when it comes
45:10
back together it's the sound wave that sound that emits from
45:13
that. So that's what Thunder actually
45:15
is. So he's doing all this.
45:17
They're getting all of the sound on that small room, which I
45:20
guarantee has an echo. And I don't know what Vader's
45:23
helmet, how that's going to send him to the ground and woman.
45:27
A disaster. Not just because of the lighting
45:29
but the sound itself would rock everybody in the room.
45:31
So maybe that's what really causing them so much
45:35
disturbance. Just remember kids, science is
45:55
cool. Follow your heart.
45:59
Be a nerd. Be a geek.
46:00
Do not be afraid to be any of those things.
46:02
Do not be afraid to love Star Wars.
46:05
Do not be afraid to love science and now I'll get off my soapbox.
46:09
Just remember science is cool. Don't let anyone tell you.
46:11
Otherwise, the end. They're done.
46:14
PSA done. So on our last day because that
46:20
we left on Sunday was our last day.
46:23
Even though the pecan goes through Monday, we saw the
46:27
Recapping of remaking, whatever of the Obi-Wan Kenobi panel.
46:31
And that was, I mean, that was the only one that we got into
46:36
the main stage and that would be the only one eye.
46:39
Well, not the other one. I wouldn't mind being in the
46:41
room with Diego Luna ever, but well, we were in the main stage
46:45
for the Clone Wars panel. But it wasn't the celebration
46:48
stage that was how that a slightly smaller stage.
46:50
But this was this Obi-Wan Kenobi.
46:54
Look, back was held at the celebration stage.
46:56
The Stage. They're the nicest one.
46:59
Yeah. And we had amazing seats.
47:01
We did the Clips they showed and talked about, all my God.
47:06
They each went through and showed each one of the axle who
47:10
was up there was UN, Deborah, the director Hayden little
47:14
Vivian. God love her and Indira who
47:18
plays tala and couldn't have had a better group of people up
47:22
there. Basically, I mean other than
47:26
Moses, Mmm, who they gave major shoutouts to, and by all means,
47:30
should should have been shouted out more.
47:34
But, yeah, it was great to see who we got to see and hear them
47:38
speak. Especially Vivian.
47:40
Hey, no. She is the most eloquent
47:45
well-spoken, child actor, ever, ever seen.
47:50
She's she gets it. She's really smart.
47:53
She speaks with respect, and she hasn't been around long enough
47:56
to know. The respect that's necessary in
47:58
the Star Wars world. She hasn't it somehow she gets
48:04
it. She gets it.
48:06
It's nice to see. Well, if I loved that, they
48:11
showed each of their favorite scenes and honestly, each scene
48:16
that they showed was one of my favorite scenes, it sure was.
48:19
Yeah, I could there wasn't one. I would have argued with of
48:22
they're not a single one. They were all fantastic.
48:24
Yeah, Deborah's was the the time that Obi-Wan first sees Vader in
48:29
the Mayan town. That was a scene that had me
48:32
shaking when I first thought and when Vader's helmet turns really
48:38
fast and look where Obi-Wan is oh good it's so great.
48:43
God made me relive when we were talking about it on the show for
48:47
the first time about how it's like a predator and after its
48:50
grey and it's talking and and he's going down the line just
48:54
cracking next and choking people and dragging people and I got
48:57
Frisky all over again. And it was a great straight up
49:03
horror film. Honestly, the way it was filmed
49:05
and what's great with the sound it on the big screen like that.
49:09
That was a cool. I'm getting Goose Bumps thinking
49:11
about it right now. Yeah.
49:13
And I mean they showed Hayden scene was my favorite and God it
49:20
was the fight and when his helmet gets cracked that was
49:23
Hayden's favorite. Favorite scene.
49:24
And bye-bye. No surprise because Was that
49:27
performance? I stood up for it.
49:29
I when it was over, I gave them a standing ovation because those
49:33
two actors, Hewitt Ewan, and Hayden, nailed it, and made us
49:38
cry all over again in the crowd seeing it.
49:41
I mean, they brought it the new they brought it and I was
49:45
really, really, really happy to see it on a massive screen like
49:49
that with everyone in the crowd, totally silent.
49:53
I know we've all seen it and probably multiple times.
49:57
It, I always kind of thought it was like the build-up, you know,
50:01
in that scene and like the emotion just builds and builds.
50:04
But no, it's like even in that moment, they just showed the
50:07
little snippet of them there. And that alone gets me emotional
50:12
because we've seen Anakin all through the Clone Wars and Matt
50:16
Lanter even said that. And yes, one words panel that he
50:20
got to grow that character a lot, and it makes his fall even
50:25
more tragic and heartbreaking. Aching.
50:27
And I think that's really true. So painful.
50:32
And if that wasn't painful enough, it was followed up,
50:35
lastly, by you and favorite clip, which was him and Leia
50:39
saying goodbye at the end of the show where he hugs her and she
50:43
tells him, he needs a nap which is what we've all been telling
50:46
him and he explains to her in so many words who her parents
50:52
really were, and it had everyone sobbing in the crowd.
50:55
And it was really, really Nice to see you.
51:00
I loved the story. He told to because he was saying
51:03
that he's an executive producer on it.
51:05
So yeah, they had them, watch the first three episodes in a
51:08
private viewing and then he went away when they finished the last
51:12
of the show, he came back and re-watch the whole show and he
51:15
said that they set up the movie and they'll come in for each
51:19
episode, hit play, and then leave, and he's there by himself
51:22
and he said by the end of the last episode, when he does that
51:25
scene with Vivian, Leia's theme starts to play city was just
51:29
sitting there by himself, just sobbing.
51:32
That's when you know you've made you've made something good,
51:36
right? Like that's what I like when I
51:38
first saw that episode The Vader scene made me cry and then as
51:42
soon as Leia's theme started to play, I just lost my fucking
51:48
shit. I have Goosebumps now too
51:51
because Leia's theme gets me every time.
51:54
But to as a little girl with Obi-Wan who she calls upon for
51:58
help if you should ever need help from an old man, you know,
52:02
like he says there and we know how much that means to everyone
52:06
in Star Wars. It's just I don't know.
52:09
It was really cool to end. A really incredible weekend on
52:13
that high of a note. Yeah, with that panel.
52:15
So yeah that was that was the highlight that was really
52:20
classed. I am and you and said, maybe
52:24
some more. Would you like Sabor they didn't
52:26
announce It's they're going to do more but he made it clear
52:29
that he's interested in doing more.
52:31
Whether yes, maybe he even means just like, directing something
52:34
like not necessarily being Obi-Wan again but if he I mean I
52:38
know a lot of people have mixed feelings on that and I
52:42
understand it but honestly anything they do to be is a
52:48
risk. Yes, it's true.
52:52
Like I love the original trilogy and the prequels made me
52:56
terrified If I'd the sequel's made me terrified, all the shows
53:00
have made me terrified. So I've learned, I just have to
53:04
like piecemeal, like take what I like and leave.
53:06
What? I don't be so like, I'm willing
53:08
to see more if they want to give me more.
53:12
But only if Quinlan Vos is in it.
53:15
Yeah, what the fuck? Come on, Quinlan.
53:18
We need you. We saw one or two quinlan's.
53:22
We saw one of two or two of everything literally?
53:25
Yeah. Pretty much.
53:27
I think my favorite of the entire my favorite cosplay of
53:30
the entire weekend was the person dressed up as the fucking
53:35
death star with a. If found please return to Tarkin
53:40
a sign on it. I-i'm sorry.
53:43
But that was the tops for me. It was snarky enough and funny
53:47
enough. That I said that that one right
53:48
there. That's my favorite of the
53:49
weekend. There was some brilliant
53:51
costumes. I saw Dooku that could have been
53:54
Dooku. Yeah, remember him.
53:57
My favorite is the Qui-Gon Jinn behind the scenes.
54:03
Liam Neeson with a colorful umbrella and sunglasses.
54:08
That that was yes, we saw at least two of those.
54:11
Maybe three love them. All, they tagged themselves to
54:15
on my Instagram on our other Grandma, it's so good.
54:19
I love it. And don't don't forget, lest we
54:23
forget before the Obi-Wan Kenobi panel started.
54:27
Had everyone dresses, Obi-Wan Kenobi, come up on stage.
54:30
Yeah, and do their best Obi-Wan Kenobi pose.
54:34
And as they're doing it, you and walks out, goes down the line
54:39
turns around. Walks back waves, everybody
54:41
leaves, and everyone was in shock, including the MC who is
54:44
doing the pre panel stuff. He's like I had no idea that was
54:47
gonna happen but he said he did. Call everyone as Obi-Wan Kenobi
54:52
to come on stage. Yes and he is OB want something.
54:57
It's received time just like I thought they did it on purpose
55:00
because they had everyone. Come on stage, they tolling the
55:02
strike the pose and then they started playing the Obi, One
55:05
theme. Yeah.
55:06
And then you would walked out and I was like, oh, it's like,
55:09
oh my god, I've been there. It just happened to be perfect
55:12
like that. So that was a great debt.
55:15
That shit is why celebration is fun?
55:18
Yes, 100% you never know. You could be walking through
55:23
some we're minding your own goddamn business and all of a
55:25
sudden you're standing next to Sam Witwer or your Ewan McGregor
55:29
pops out or, you know, you just and Vivian walked by us in the
55:33
hall. Yes, she was just walking down
55:35
the hall with her people and like nobody noticed her it, huh?
55:39
Except me. I was like South Pacific.
55:41
Hey, There She Goes, My Little leg.
55:45
Oh my God is great. I don't know.
55:49
It was super, super cool. I had fun.
55:53
I had a lot of fun. It was beautiful weather.
55:57
Great time. Spent with friends.
56:00
The toilets, I don't know about the toilets, but, well, I do
56:06
want to shout out James Arnold Taylor also, because on 100%,
56:12

56:14
Sunday, very last day. Yep.
56:17
I woke up and we were getting ready to go and I checked my
56:20
messages and I had a DM from him on Instagram and he was saying,
56:24
come and find me, you know, I'll be at my booth or whatever and I
56:29
was just so shy. That he was kind enough to
56:32
first, of all, think of us. And yes, and he initiated the
56:37
message. Yeah, he reached out to us.
56:39
Yeah, it didn't work out. We tried to connect and it just
56:43
didn't work out. And actually it turned out to be
56:44
a good thing because he was sick.
56:47
He ended up getting sober we so yeah.
56:49
We all caught the same thing exactly where all catching the
56:52
same bug, but he's just been really nice and he's been dming
56:56

59:21
They said I have watched Return of the Jedi over four times and
59:25
I always enjoyed the scene where they chaotically rescue Han,
59:29
because Luke and Leia are equally, bad ass plus Luke's
59:32
outfit and all caps. Yes!
59:36
Who can argue with that? That's so true.
59:39
Honestly, Luke's outfit its clutch in that episode.
59:43
Yeah, it really is good. Shit.
59:46
Z said seeing Luke at his peak in the OT in this as well as the
59:50
cuteness of the Ewoks space. Teddy bears but he's teddy
59:55
bears, Peak, Luke and space. Teddy bears.
59:59
I'm here for it. Love it.
1:00:00
It would agree more. And then km Osborne 77 said,
1:00:06
there's so much great Star Wars at this movie.
1:00:09
Dark Side versus light site creatures romance.
1:00:12
It's the epitome of Star Wars in my opinion.
1:00:15
All right, that is spot on. Yep, we were here for the 40th
1:00:22
anniversary, we love it. Yeah.
1:00:23
Return of the Jedis that you can't be added.
