Speaker 1: The Force will be with you always.
0:18
Speaker 2: Hello everybody, and welcome back to another episode of Star
0:24
Speaker 2: Wars Alliance. And I am just now realizing that our
0:28
Speaker 2: background is poorly made because you can't see a goddamn thing.
0:34
Speaker 2: That's my faults. Looks good for a thumbnail, doesn't look
0:38
Speaker 2: all that great for a background, so I'll have to
0:41
Speaker 2: change that while we are talking. So, uh yeah, anyway,
0:46
Speaker 2: of course, I am always here joined by Katie. Katie,
0:51
Speaker 2: how you doing.
0:55
Speaker 1: That's all I got to say. Yeah, but we're here
1:00
Speaker 1: to talk about Star Wars, y'all. Yeah, we want to
1:03
Speaker 1: be a safe place on the internet, but we just
1:06
Speaker 1: want to clarify if you're racist, sexist, out of a bitch,
1:11
Speaker 1: get out of here, please and thank you bye.
1:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will. I will say this because there's tons
1:18
Speaker 2: of people, you know, giving these like, oh, don't give
1:26
Speaker 2: up type of posts, and that doesn't even work either. Geez,
1:33
Speaker 2: I'm changing the background while we're talking here and this
1:35
Speaker 2: doesn't even work. Oh well, we'll keep it like this.
1:38
Speaker 1: Just put the other one up because it had a
1:39
Speaker 1: title below.
1:40
Speaker 2: It exactly exactly. So there's a lot of people, of course,
1:48
Speaker 2: throwing a lot of Star Wars gifts and quotes out there.
1:52
Speaker 2: I'm talking about never giving up when it comes to,
1:55
Speaker 2: of course, what we are referencing referencing, which is the
1:59
Speaker 2: presidential election. And I'm gonna be quite honest with you,
2:06
Speaker 2: and people might see this as a very negative thing,
2:11
Speaker 2: but I am somewhat feeling the same way I am
2:17
Speaker 2: feeling about America, the same way I feel about lucasfilm.
2:23
Speaker 2: And I think a lot of people are and I
2:28
Speaker 2: think that it is okay for people to not want
2:36
Speaker 2: to have this. Oh let's never give up, Let's bring
2:40
Speaker 2: up hope and all of this other things because people
2:45
Speaker 2: just aren't ready yet. I am in a sound mind.
2:50
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna, you know, say these really silly things
2:54
Speaker 2: and and and dangerous things to the point of like
2:56
Speaker 2: people being fearful of my mental health and every anything else.
3:01
Speaker 2: I have a good head on my shoulders, I have
3:03
Speaker 2: a good support system, I have really good friends, and
3:07
Speaker 2: uh yeah, So if anybody is feeling that it is
3:12
Speaker 2: okay to feel that way, it is okay to not
3:17
Speaker 2: be okay, is what I always like to say. And
3:22
Speaker 2: with that, I do concur with Katie. If you are
3:27
Speaker 2: a racist, Sorry Katie, this is the one time I'm
3:32
Speaker 2: going to use this word cuntbag. Okay, thank you for
3:37
Speaker 2: taking off your headphones. I yeah, I know, I know.
3:45
Speaker 2: Then you can f right off and.
3:50
Speaker 1: There's no place for hate here at.
3:53
Speaker 2: All, none whatsoever. And also something that has really hurt
4:00
Speaker 2: me the last twenty four hours is sing some true
4:06
Speaker 2: colors to people that I thought I knew. So yeah,
4:13
Speaker 2: let's just move on from that and move on to
4:19
Speaker 2: possible good talk in tonight's episode. Of course, guys, some
4:29
Speaker 2: highlights of what this episode is going to be about.
4:31
Speaker 2: Of course, if you have clicked on this video and
4:35
Speaker 2: or the podcast, you can tell by the title this
4:37
Speaker 2: is Padawan's Pride review. We know that this audio original
4:42
Speaker 2: has been Audible original has been out for quite some time,
4:47
Speaker 2: but this is the only time in the schedule that
4:49
Speaker 2: we could actually fit it in. So we are going
4:53
Speaker 2: to be reviewing that. And due to our interview that
5:00
Speaker 2: we're gonna have next week, we're going to have to
5:04
Speaker 2: push the next Audible original that was actually found this week,
5:10
Speaker 2: and we will talk about that. That is a highlight
5:12
Speaker 2: that we are going to be talking about today as well.
5:15
Speaker 1: And the other thing is that doesn't come out until
5:17
Speaker 1: next Thursday.
5:18
Speaker 2: So oh, that is true, so it will actually be
5:23
Speaker 2: in line for the episode after that. But some other
5:27
Speaker 2: things that you can look forward to hearing about in
5:30
Speaker 2: this episode is we're going to be discussing Skeleton Crew
5:33
Speaker 2: and its new trailer, as well as some confirmation news
5:41
Speaker 2: stuff that we've seen from Encyclopedias. And that's an actually
5:46
Speaker 2: interesting discussion that I want to bring up with Katie because,
5:49
Speaker 2: of course on this podcast, Katie is of course our
5:54
Speaker 2: canon queen. I love that. I'm gonna that's what I'm
5:59
Speaker 2: gonna call you from now on, Katie Cannon queen. Uh.
6:03
Speaker 2: Within the timeline of Star Wars. Uh so we are
6:07
Speaker 2: going to of course, uh talk about that as well.
6:12
Speaker 2: Uh so, you know we teased it, We're gonna talk
6:14
Speaker 2: about it right now. Who actually found this? It says
6:18
Speaker 2: thanks to b h X one, one, three, eight and
6:24
Speaker 2: Adam Bomber, another Star Wars audible original has been discovered.
6:32
Speaker 2: I like how these things are just like people are
6:35
Speaker 2: just stumbling across these things. Yes, I and the reason. Oh,
6:43
Speaker 2: we'll go ahead, go ahead. What are you gonna say?
6:45
Speaker 1: It looks like Adam Bomber is the one who found
6:47
Speaker 1: it originally. I'm trying to find his tweets. Okay, I
6:53
Speaker 1: don't see his tweet anywhere, but maybe he did it
6:55
Speaker 1: on like a podcast or something.
6:57
Speaker 2: Oh maybe I will say this though. The reason why
7:03
Speaker 2: I think this is so funny due to what I
7:07
Speaker 2: do for my job is I collect metadata for publishers
7:16
Speaker 2: for comics, and then I post them on our website,
7:21
Speaker 2: and if retailers are just skimming the website, they can
7:26
Speaker 2: just stumble upon some of the stuff that I put
7:28
Speaker 2: on our website. So like, I think it's really fun
7:32
Speaker 2: that these people are just like, oh, what's on Audible today,
7:36
Speaker 2: and they're like, holy crap, this is a new thing.
7:38
Speaker 2: I've never seen this before. It is Star Wars the
7:42
Speaker 2: Hygh Republic, Seeds of Starlight. It is by George Mann,
7:47
Speaker 2: and we'll release on November fourteenth. It is featuring on
7:52
Speaker 2: the cover two prominent characters that we already know. I
7:58
Speaker 2: don't recognize the center character.
8:00
Speaker 1: Up, we'll talk, we'll talk. So his name is Cam Lindon.
8:06
Speaker 1: He was announced or the artwork of him was published.
8:11
Speaker 1: I was looking this up earlier and now Wikipedia doesn't
8:14
Speaker 1: want to work. The artwork was published in like May
8:19
Speaker 1: for him. Okay, okay, but nobody knew what project he
8:25
Speaker 1: was going to be a part of.
8:26
Speaker 2: Oh that's right. I remember that random character design that
8:31
Speaker 2: showed up out of nowhere and people were like, Okay,
8:36
Speaker 2: I remember that, I remember that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
8:39
Speaker 1: So this so this character lost his vocal box in
8:44
Speaker 1: an accident as a young kid. So the black line
8:49
Speaker 1: that you see down his throat is actually a vocoder,
8:53
Speaker 1: like what authoritians used to program their voice and like
8:59
Speaker 1: trans late in live action. So he's got a vote interesting,
9:04
Speaker 1: So it makes sense why he's an audible original character
9:09
Speaker 1: because you want to be able to articulate that, and
9:11
Speaker 1: if you just put his words on a page, it's
9:13
Speaker 1: not really going to be quite the same.
9:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can always describe it, and I think that
9:20
Speaker 2: with the vote coders, we've seen a lot of that
9:24
Speaker 2: described very well. But I think this is just something
9:28
Speaker 2: that's very fun, you know. I think the High Republic
9:33
Speaker 2: out of and and this is just me coming into, like,
9:37
Speaker 2: you know, neck deep into the Star Wars fandom that
9:42
Speaker 2: Katie has brought me into. With the audible books that
9:48
Speaker 2: I have been listening to, in the comics and everything else,
9:51
Speaker 2: it really feels like High Republic has taken advantage of
9:54
Speaker 2: every piece of h what's the phrasing that I'm looking
10:01
Speaker 2: for accessibility matrix, accessibility entertainment outlet possible with now of
10:12
Speaker 2: course unfortunately canceled, but you still have it on Disney
10:17
Speaker 2: Plus for now Acolytes, the books, the Audibles, the comics
10:22
Speaker 2: and stuff like that. So I find that very very fun.
10:26
Speaker 2: So having this here, just adding this new thing, and
10:31
Speaker 2: people can you know, possibly call this a gimmick, but
10:34
Speaker 2: having there be a in story reason for you know,
10:41
Speaker 2: the the initiative of a high republic being like, hey,
10:44
Speaker 2: this needs to be an audible original because of this
10:47
Speaker 2: one character and how he is implemented into the universe.
10:51
Speaker 2: I like that a whole lot. I think that it's
10:53
Speaker 2: very fun.
10:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I do, however, have an issue with it
10:59
Speaker 1: being an audible original, that this means that you can't
11:03
Speaker 1: just purchase this and be done with it, no, like
11:06
Speaker 1: you're kind of stuck with it as because I tried
11:10
Speaker 1: sharing this with my sister and she does use my
11:14
Speaker 1: mom's access, but she also has her own Audible account
11:17
Speaker 1: where she like brings it on and off, and she
11:19
Speaker 1: was like, man, I can't get this because my audible
11:21
Speaker 1: account isn't active. So she had to signed into my
11:23
Speaker 1: moms and stuff, but like so it has to be
11:28
Speaker 1: like I can't even download this and like save it
11:31
Speaker 1: to my computer, so it's got to be done from
11:35
Speaker 1: audible unfortunately, So this means there's not a lot of
11:38
Speaker 1: accessibility if you don't want to use Amazon products or anything,
11:44
Speaker 1: So you're limiting it behind a specific bald, which kind
11:50
Speaker 1: of sucks. And that was something that I wanted to
11:52
Speaker 1: bring up with Padawan's Pride as well, because it is
11:55
Speaker 1: an audible original, So like, let's go ahead and get
11:57
Speaker 1: that out of the way here, Like both books, same pology. Seed,
12:00
Speaker 1: Like I do hope that they bring these scripts or
12:05
Speaker 1: like a novelization aspect, yeah, so that people can just
12:11
Speaker 1: purchase it and be done with it and not have
12:14
Speaker 1: to rely on the subscription model in order to enjoy
12:20
Speaker 1: this piece of media. But the Seeds of Starlight audible
12:26
Speaker 1: original is out next Thursday, so November fourteenth, So we
12:31
Speaker 1: will not be talking about it next week, but the
12:33
Speaker 1: week after. All right, y'all, we're gonna hit our first
12:36
Speaker 1: ad break and we will be right back in three
12:39
Speaker 1: two one.
12:41
Speaker 2: Correct me if I'm wrong. Every Star Wars book that
12:48
Speaker 2: was an audible first has gotten a physical release.
12:54
Speaker 1: So the the what are the words? The audio dramas
13:01
Speaker 1: are not audible originals, they're just audio traumas, So these
13:06
Speaker 1: are audible originals, so there's the difference for you. They
13:10
Speaker 1: also have different publishers, so this is Lucasfilm Disney Lucasfilm
13:14
Speaker 1: Media and the audio dramas are random house worlds. So technicalities,
13:20
Speaker 1: we love them, you gotta hate.
13:22
Speaker 2: Them, like yeah, which does make me think that there
13:26
Speaker 2: is a big possibility that this is not going to.
13:32
Speaker 1: I don't think it will. Yeah, I don't think it will.
13:36
Speaker 1: That's a little bit of its.
13:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, now now see. I will say this though. The
13:43
Speaker 2: only thing that I think might happen, which again we
13:49
Speaker 2: are talking about you know, the media, uh and physical
13:55
Speaker 2: media in the day and age of everything being digital.
14:01
Speaker 2: Sandman Audible Original came out with an audio physical release.
14:11
Speaker 2: I believe at least the first the first one did.
14:14
Speaker 2: I don't know if the second or third one did,
14:17
Speaker 2: but I believe the first one has a physical CD release.
14:22
Speaker 2: So there's some speck of hope there. Maybe maybe like
14:30
Speaker 2: a like a conglomeration, yeah, like a like a.
14:38
Speaker 1: Star Wars stories. I could see that, But with this
14:42
Speaker 1: only because Sampan's was what thirteen fourteen hours?
14:46
Speaker 2: I think, yeah it was. I think so.
14:50
Speaker 1: Oh, Padawan's Pride is a little under four hours, and
14:54
Speaker 1: then Seeds of Starlight is four and a half hours.
14:57
Speaker 1: So I don't think they would get a physical audio
15:00
Speaker 1: release all on its own.
15:03
Speaker 2: That just does I could see it being I could
15:05
Speaker 2: see it being like an anthology of sorts, if that's
15:10
Speaker 2: what I was looking.
15:13
Speaker 1: So, yeah, it looks like there is an MP three
15:17
Speaker 1: CV as of September twenty third, twenty twenty for Sandman
15:23
Speaker 1: volume one. I do not see where there is volume
15:28
Speaker 1: two or three, so but yeah, completely plausible. Oh now,
15:35
Speaker 1: furiodus the Salman Act two, Act three.
15:39
Speaker 2: So well there you go. All right. So next up
15:45
Speaker 2: would be do you want to leave the trailer for last?
15:50
Speaker 1: Or let's leave the trailer for last? So let's go
15:52
Speaker 1: ahead and talk about the Star Wars encyclopedia.
15:56
Speaker 2: Yes, so this is a discussion that I'm wanting to
16:01
Speaker 2: have with you because I saw a post with this.
16:07
Speaker 2: Of course this I saw this first from when you
16:11
Speaker 2: posted it the Star Wars holocron saying the inquisitor who
16:14
Speaker 2: fought asca entails of the Jedi has been given an
16:17
Speaker 2: official name. In the new Star Wars Encyclopedia book releasing
16:21
Speaker 2: later this month. The character voiced by Clancy Brown didn't
16:26
Speaker 2: even remember him actually saying any actual words, is named
16:32
Speaker 2: first Brother. Now, Katie, as somebody who has read the
16:37
Speaker 2: Ahsoka book, this is something that I really want to
16:40
Speaker 2: talk to you about. Is first brother mentioned at all
16:47
Speaker 2: in this novel? Like at all?
16:52
Speaker 1: Like so it's been several years since I've read the books.
16:57
Speaker 2: I just want to Okay, So I.
16:58
Speaker 1: Am going off of the Wookie Paudia summary. Okay, yeah,
17:04
Speaker 1: so we have five mentions of the word first.
17:10
Speaker 2: In this article.
17:12
Speaker 1: We love a control s okay, makes it super simple.
17:16
Speaker 1: That's not it, that's not it, that is not it,
17:20
Speaker 1: that is not it, and that is not it.
17:24
Speaker 2: So no, there you go.
17:25
Speaker 1: First not mentioned. But I did read it, Okay, So
17:29
Speaker 1: I used control because I wanted to be funny. I
17:31
Speaker 1: read this whole thing before we started, because I couldn't
17:35
Speaker 1: remember if it was first Brother or if it was
17:37
Speaker 1: somebody else. The inquisitor named in the book is six brother.
17:47
Speaker 2: Well, just like Taylor, Taylor. Yeah, this is exactly what
17:53
Speaker 2: Travis says. Books are cannon until they're not. And like
18:00
Speaker 2: how like again, Uh, Ahsoka was by Kristen Correct? Is
18:09
Speaker 2: it Christian who wrote Ahsoka?
18:11
Speaker 1: Who? It was? K Johnston john Trilogy?
18:17
Speaker 2: And yeah, uh, I don't know how I feel about this.
18:25
Speaker 1: Uh was it really that hard to just go, hey,
18:30
Speaker 1: let's just use the book identification because he's not named
18:35
Speaker 1: in the episode, and he's not named in the credits
18:39
Speaker 1: of the episode. So, like, is it really that difficult?
18:46
Speaker 2: I am so like it. It Star Wars just knows
18:51
Speaker 2: how to self implode on itself all the time. I'm
18:54
Speaker 2: so confused as of the decisions they make. But in
19:00
Speaker 2: all honesty, this is probably gonna trigger some people. Is
19:05
Speaker 2: the name that important? You know? In this instance? Now, again,
19:11
Speaker 2: I haven't read the Ahsoka book, so I don't know
19:15
Speaker 2: how much weight the sixth Brother has on the book itself.
19:23
Speaker 2: But in Tales of the Jedi, it's not even a fight.
19:31
Speaker 2: Guys like Ahsoka is so op in this fight. She
19:36
Speaker 2: strikes him down in one blow, And of course I
19:41
Speaker 2: think it's more so to send a message of like, oh,
19:45
Speaker 2: she stills, she still has it, she still has the
19:48
Speaker 2: ability to protect herself and all of these other things
19:52
Speaker 2: within the episode, that's the story. And then of course
19:55
Speaker 2: when you look back at even like Rebels in her
19:58
Speaker 2: appearance through there and of course moving on towards the
20:02
Speaker 2: show Ahsoka, it's to show like it was a small
20:08
Speaker 2: milestone she had to go past to really say, hey,
20:11
Speaker 2: I'm kind of stuck with having this identity of a
20:18
Speaker 2: quote unquote Jedi or a Protector or whatever. So like
20:23
Speaker 2: it's a it's a small thing for me personally, but
20:28
Speaker 2: I just like I am a little annoyed even as
20:32
Speaker 2: somebody who hasn't read the Ahsoka book that Lucasfilm and
20:38
Speaker 2: Star Wars would would do this. That would just be like, hey,
20:41
Speaker 2: we're gonna counteract this one book the same the same way,
20:48
Speaker 2: but twice. Now.
20:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, because and you think about it, Okay.
20:55
Speaker 2: So.
20:58
Speaker 1: I think it's this guy. Yeah, it's the Star Wars Encyclopaedia,
21:02
Speaker 1: the Comprehensive Guide to the Star Wars Galaxy. And it's
21:07
Speaker 1: by uh, It's got seven authors attached, Kelly Knox, Dan Zier,
21:14
Speaker 1: Brandon Waynerdy, Amy Ratcliffe, Amy Richelle, Megan Krause, and Dan Brooks.
21:21
Speaker 1: And I know every single one of these people except
21:24
Speaker 1: Brandon on the Twitter verse and everything. I've never met
21:28
Speaker 1: any of these people in person. I know each and
21:30
Speaker 1: every one of them has read that Ahsoka book. So
21:35
Speaker 1: this was a direct handoff from lucasfilm that says, hey,
21:40
Speaker 1: this is first brother, Like, nice to meet you, and
21:46
Speaker 1: I just want to point out something from the Ahsoka
21:49
Speaker 1: novel as well. So sixth Brother is referenced in Star
21:55
Speaker 1: Wars The Dark Side Pocket Expert and is mentioned there,
21:59
Speaker 1: and the book lists Tales of the Jedi in appearances
22:03
Speaker 1: for other characters. The Pocket Expert stated the Sixth Brother
22:08
Speaker 1: had only appeared in comics and novels up to that point,
22:12
Speaker 1: leaving out any listing for Tales of the Jedi. The
22:15
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three Inquisitor Rise of the Red Blade also
22:20
Speaker 1: features six Brother, but he is described to appear as
22:23
Speaker 1: he does in Ahsoka, not as the Tales of the
22:26
Speaker 1: Jedi Inquisitor. So are they just instead kind of going okay,
22:34
Speaker 1: Tales of the Jedi happens within the timeline of the
22:38
Speaker 1: Ahsoka book, but it's not the incident in question in
22:43
Speaker 1: the Ahsoka book. Is this what's happening?
22:49
Speaker 2: Oh? That would be confusing as hell.
22:51
Speaker 1: It's because they're similar. There are similar incidents point blank.
22:58
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. But I would feel like there should be well, again,
23:05
Speaker 2: you you end up with the same problem that we
23:08
Speaker 2: are gonna talk about in Patawan's Pride that I'm gonna
23:12
Speaker 2: mention when it comes to Star Wars, it's very unfortunate
23:19
Speaker 2: that all of these great ideas, sometimes not so great ideas,
23:25
Speaker 2: come out after the fact and we have to kind
23:29
Speaker 2: of just slide them into the pieces of the timeline,
23:34
Speaker 2: and so sometimes they make sense and sometimes they don't.
23:38
Speaker 2: And this is one of those instances that if it
23:41
Speaker 2: is trying to insinuate, oh, she fought first brother and
23:48
Speaker 2: sixth brother, there needs to be a distinction of like
23:55
Speaker 2: an official thing that says, yes, she fought both first
23:58
Speaker 2: brother and six brother, rather than just saying, hey, she
24:03
Speaker 2: fought six brother in this book, but fought first brother
24:07
Speaker 2: in this show, and they just so happened to be
24:11
Speaker 2: in the same timeline, and we're not going to verify
24:15
Speaker 2: whether it's the exact same fight or not. Like that's
24:17
Speaker 2: just really confusing.
24:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I ultimately I think it's supposed to be
24:22
Speaker 1: the same fight because Dave Filoni is known for overwriting stuff,
24:27
Speaker 1: and at this point, especially with the issues, because like
24:34
Speaker 1: there's this whole thing on continuity for the Ahsoka novel
24:38
Speaker 1: on the Wikipedia article. I'm not going to read every
24:40
Speaker 1: line verbatim, but like Dave Filoni, going back to his
24:48
Speaker 1: quote on the episode, he said, it's based on the
24:50
Speaker 1: same outline I gave publishing fourth novel. It was always
24:53
Speaker 1: the same story, but could you head candidate to be different.
24:58
Speaker 1: The other thing too, that bring up is that the
25:01
Speaker 1: episode has Bail organa encountering Ahsoka at padme Amidala's funeral,
25:07
Speaker 1: which occurs days after the rise of the Empire. In
25:11
Speaker 1: the novel, Ahsoka and Bail do not even know that
25:14
Speaker 1: the other is still alive until shortly before their first
25:17
Speaker 1: in person meeting in the book, which is over a
25:20
Speaker 1: year after the Empire's formation. So there's other contradictions, for sure.
25:27
Speaker 1: I just don't know why you say, Okay, here's the outline,
25:31
Speaker 1: Like I want ahsoka story to continue, and this needs
25:34
Speaker 1: to be the bridge to get her to rebels, because
25:37
Speaker 1: that's what this book was marketed as. Is Okay, what
25:40
Speaker 1: has Ahsoka been up to for fifteen years? Here's what
25:44
Speaker 1: she was doing. But then now you're like, oh, okay,
25:48
Speaker 1: it's been ten years since this novel was published, Like,
25:51
Speaker 1: let's overwrite it. And it's not been ten years since
25:54
Speaker 1: the novel was published to Tales of the Jedi. This
25:57
Speaker 1: book came out in twenty sixteen October twenty sixteen, so
26:01
Speaker 1: it had been what like six years, But still the
26:07
Speaker 1: point stands, like, oh, enough people have forgotten about this
26:11
Speaker 1: book where I used it as a marketing endeavor for
26:13
Speaker 1: my new TV show, So let's just forget about it
26:16
Speaker 1: and tossed out the window to make my new TV show.
26:23
Speaker 2: It's a weird choice, you know, in it comes down
26:29
Speaker 2: to the idea of like, how many stories are you
26:37
Speaker 2: willing to stomp all over to now? I'm I'm not
26:46
Speaker 2: gonna say that Tales of the Jedi is bad because
26:49
Speaker 2: it's good. I love it. I love the stories that
26:51
Speaker 2: they told with Kraik go on Jin, I love the
26:53
Speaker 2: like the cinematography of this fight that we're talking about
26:57
Speaker 2: in particular, it's very fun. But like you have this
27:04
Speaker 2: stamp of approval of all books and Star Wars are cannon.
27:10
Speaker 2: Every choice that these creators make within these novels are important.
27:15
Speaker 2: And then you're like, well it's important until I say
27:19
Speaker 2: it is m that feels really crappy, you know, like
27:26
Speaker 2: I I don't like, of course everybody's going to say,
27:31
Speaker 2: if I have the chance to write a Star Wars book,
27:33
Speaker 2: if I am, if I am given that chance to
27:35
Speaker 2: write a Star Wars book, they're gonna take it, yes,
27:38
Speaker 2: but it just hurts that much more if Dave Filoni
27:42
Speaker 2: and Star Wars and Lucasville decide, Hey, you know that
27:45
Speaker 2: thing that you wrote, We're just gonna act like it
27:48
Speaker 2: doesn't exist anymore. That sucks.
27:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean it's the same, the same bird.
27:59
Speaker 1: We've talked a bazillion times. So like, I don't want
28:02
Speaker 1: to beat a dead horse, but like it really does suck,
28:07
Speaker 1: And especially with the encyclopedia is like meant for book people,
28:13
Speaker 1: Like how many people that you know just watch Star
28:16
Speaker 1: Wars or like oh yeah, I'm gonna go buy the
28:18
Speaker 1: Star Wars encyclopedia. Like it's not the same fan base.
28:23
Speaker 1: So this was a direct Hey, here's lucasop because again
28:29
Speaker 1: the guy wasn't named in the episode, so lucasme point
28:32
Speaker 1: Blake said, Okay, you're gonna include him. Probably not gonna
28:36
Speaker 1: include him, but like, hey, we made Tales of the Jedi,
28:40
Speaker 1: here's who he was. So we're gonna go into our
28:43
Speaker 1: second ad break and we'll be right back.
28:47
Speaker 2: Let's move on to next bit of news. And I
28:53
Speaker 2: guess the only thing we do have is the trailer right.
28:58
Speaker 1: Skeleton Crew trade number two. This show is coming out
29:03
Speaker 1: in one month. I am so exciting and I don't
29:07
Speaker 1: care what all you people say about the fact that
29:10
Speaker 1: this music is not instrumental and it is not orchestral.
29:15
Speaker 2: This music rocked, no, don't get me wrong. So of course, guys,
29:20
Speaker 2: if you go back into the Star Wars Alliance feed,
29:23
Speaker 2: we interviewed Tom and I gave him the question, I said,
29:29
Speaker 2: if you could put any modern music into Star Wars one,
29:37
Speaker 2: where would it go? In two? What song would it be?
29:40
Speaker 2: And then he gave me a challenge that I actually
29:44
Speaker 2: never even finished. So thanks for reminding me, you know, Tom,
29:50
Speaker 2: But we also saw I believe it was the first
29:56
Speaker 2: episode of Ahsoka when Sabine was on the speeder driving
30:04
Speaker 2: down that galactic highway. People were putting freaking ACDC to
30:12
Speaker 2: that gift and it's it looked great. So I mentioned
30:18
Speaker 2: when this came out, I was I think I was
30:21
Speaker 2: the first one to mention it in our g ua chat.
30:25
Speaker 2: I said, is this the first time Star Wars has
30:31
Speaker 2: or Disney Star Wars has added modern music to promote
30:42
Speaker 2: a Star Wars project. You had stated that you think
30:47
Speaker 2: there was quite possibly an Episode three Revenge of the
30:53
Speaker 2: Sith trailer with modern music. I don't remember that, and
30:58
Speaker 2: that's why I asked the question to begin with, because
31:02
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say it was jarring. It was. It
31:05
Speaker 2: felt surprisingly organic because of the subject matter and how
31:14
Speaker 2: they are presenting this show, like in all honesty, like
31:20
Speaker 2: this looks like just a sci fi film within the
31:25
Speaker 2: universe of Star Wars. So I think the music choice
31:30
Speaker 2: was fine. I don't know if I necessarily saw anybody
31:35
Speaker 2: like really complaining about it. Did you see a whole
31:37
Speaker 2: lot of discourse on Twitter about it?
31:41
Speaker 1: Not really other than archieua chat because everybody hates this,
31:46
Speaker 1: but like it's also because you actually hear lyrics at
31:51
Speaker 1: the end of the trailer and they actually transposed Star Wars.
31:56
Speaker 1: Splash Page tweeted the song because I am not a
31:58
Speaker 1: music person, point blank. So this is apparently major Tom
32:03
Speaker 1: coming Home by Peter Shilling.
32:07
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Yeah. So one thing that I learned in
32:12
Speaker 2: UH when I was taking audio engineering classes is how
32:17
Speaker 2: you can do this with the music videos. It's one
32:22
Speaker 2: of my favorite things to like see in trailers is
32:27
Speaker 2: how well you put the music to the actual visual
32:31
Speaker 2: aid of video and trailers and all of that. Like
32:36
Speaker 2: people our age, Katie, I don't know if you are
32:40
Speaker 2: necessarily a part of this scene or not, but I
32:43
Speaker 2: know there's there's gonna be people out there that I
32:46
Speaker 2: know exactly the reference I'm about to say and be like, yes,
32:49
Speaker 2: that was our childhood. There was a time where people
32:55
Speaker 2: loved to put like Lincoln Park and Disturbed and all
33:03
Speaker 2: of these rock music the genre of rock music, and
33:10
Speaker 2: make animated music videos for like Dragon ball Z, Full Metal, Alchemists,
33:16
Speaker 2: like all sorts of stuff, and it's a very popular
33:21
Speaker 2: thing to do, or at least it was. And so
33:24
Speaker 2: when I see it done with this again, like you said,
33:28
Speaker 2: the last I think it's like maybe fifteen seconds of
33:33
Speaker 2: the trailer. It's not the whole trailer. The whole trailer
33:36
Speaker 2: is about two minutes long. The last fifteen seconds is
33:40
Speaker 2: really what you see and hear the actual song, because
33:45
Speaker 2: the beginning of the trailer is all the instrumental intro
33:49
Speaker 2: of the song and then you hear the lyrics and
33:53
Speaker 2: I think it works well. I think it's very fun. Again,
33:56
Speaker 2: it gives that vibe of like, hey, it's gonna be
33:59
Speaker 2: kind of crazy, it is gonna be fun. Let's see
34:02
Speaker 2: how this goes. And I dug it, I I dug
34:05
Speaker 2: all the new footage that we saw in this in
34:08
Speaker 2: this trailer, and dare I say it? I think I
34:12
Speaker 2: might actually be getting excited about the show.
34:16
Speaker 1: Well, and like, the like punky feel of the music
34:22
Speaker 1: is totally something that we've read about in Star Wars books,
34:26
Speaker 1: where there's like a punky vibe, like not just like
34:30
Speaker 1: strings and trumpets and all this stuff. Like I'm down
34:35
Speaker 1: for it. I'm really down for it. And I don't
34:37
Speaker 1: know if this music will be used at any point
34:41
Speaker 1: in the show, honestly, but like, what's wrong? I mean
34:46
Speaker 1: there was no words to it, Like it wasn't modern
34:49
Speaker 1: R and B. But like every genre of music is
34:53
Speaker 1: so sold to different shows.
34:54
Speaker 2: Okay, actually, you know you're a really big fan of
34:57
Speaker 2: this show, So I'm gonna go ahead and use this
35:00
Speaker 2: as a reference. How would you feel if Star Wars
35:07
Speaker 2: started to treat modern music within Star Wars the same
35:13
Speaker 2: way that Bridgerton does with its modern music.
35:18
Speaker 1: And we're about to jump into our third ad, y'all,
35:22
Speaker 1: we promise we'll be right back. We promise absolutely absolutely
35:31
Speaker 1: nothing wrong with that.
35:33
Speaker 2: I So, so here's it has to be situational, I
35:37
Speaker 2: think in my way of thinking, because I don't want
35:42
Speaker 2: I don't think I would want them to go too
35:45
Speaker 2: crazy with it. But like if we go to a
35:49
Speaker 2: canteena and they're playing music, but like, if I'm really
35:55
Speaker 2: listening to it, I'm starting to hear like who's who's
36:01
Speaker 2: like freaking imagine dragons, I'd be like, yeah, Like first
36:07
Speaker 2: I'd be like, what the hell? And then I would
36:09
Speaker 2: listen to like as long as it is played because again,
36:13
Speaker 2: in Bridgerton, it's all instrumental. They put their own pizazz
36:18
Speaker 2: into it, so that way it sounds like it comes
36:22
Speaker 2: from that world of Bridgerton. So you would have to
36:25
Speaker 2: do the same thing with Star Wars. You would have
36:28
Speaker 2: to use the instruments. You kind of have to give
36:31
Speaker 2: it that Uh.
36:33
Speaker 1: What's the phrase for what multiple like air tunnels kind
36:38
Speaker 1: of because.
36:39
Speaker 2: Like, what's the what's the actual term for Star Wars
36:44
Speaker 2: music within the universe? Again? What is it called? Diegetic? Oh?
36:47
Speaker 2: I yeah, I remember this because everybody was making fun
36:50
Speaker 2: of the name of it. Jizz Is was the.
36:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's like one of the genres.
36:58
Speaker 2: Yeah so, but yeah, it's an upbeat swing genre of music,
37:04
Speaker 2: most notably performed by figuring On and Modell Nods and
37:13
Speaker 2: Max Reebo. But you hear you, If you hear Cantina music,
37:18
Speaker 2: you're like, that's Star Wars music. But just change the
37:22
Speaker 2: notes a little bit to make an actual song in
37:25
Speaker 2: the modern era. I would totally be down for that.
37:28
Speaker 2: I think it would be fun.
37:29
Speaker 1: It's fun. There's nothing wrong with it obviously, like if
37:34
Speaker 1: you want to put alien lyrics to it, like by
37:36
Speaker 1: all means, but like I also think, like you can't.
37:39
Speaker 1: There's like not a guitar. Well, I guess you do
37:42
Speaker 1: have a guitar because like Visions did a guitar. But yeah,
37:46
Speaker 1: I'm like thinking like bad Blood not necessarily love story.
37:51
Speaker 1: Does that make sense?
37:53
Speaker 2: Like I don't know.
37:57
Speaker 1: It definitely.
38:00
Speaker 2: Yeah. Like for me personally, I don't listen to a
38:05
Speaker 2: lot of music right now. Right now, whenever it comes
38:09
Speaker 2: to my listening choice, it is podcasts and audio books.
38:15
Speaker 2: I don't listen to a whole lot of music. Abby
38:17
Speaker 2: is the music person. So if like we're listening to something,
38:22
Speaker 2: I'd be like, oh, who's this? And she tells me, like,
38:25
Speaker 2: who's in the music scene, Like the only few people
38:28
Speaker 2: that I know right now that are in the music scene,
38:31
Speaker 2: Like I like Halsey. I don't know if she's making
38:33
Speaker 2: any current music right now, but like right now, Sabrina
38:38
Speaker 2: Carpenter is like really really big, Like I know that.
38:41
Speaker 2: So if I were to hear like a couple tunes
38:44
Speaker 2: of a Sabrina Carpenter song in Skeleton Crew all of
38:48
Speaker 2: a sudden in a cantina or whatever, I think that
38:51
Speaker 2: would be fun. I'd be like, Ah, that's cool, you
38:53
Speaker 2: know whatever. But of course I know there's gonna be
38:56
Speaker 2: people that are just like, that's not Star Wars music.
39:00
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
39:02
Speaker 1: It's sci fi fantasy, Get over your fuck it selves.
39:08
Speaker 2: Well yeah, and again, like you just mentioned, we see
39:15
Speaker 2: in Star Wars itself that there are people who are
39:18
Speaker 2: in a band Max Rebo and all of them in
39:21
Speaker 2: the CANTEENA. So you have to assume, oh, people make
39:25
Speaker 2: a career out of this within the Star Wars universe.
39:28
Speaker 2: We see it again and like you said, visions, So
39:33
Speaker 2: there should be a wider variety of music that we
39:37
Speaker 2: see and hear in Star Wars projects that I think
39:43
Speaker 2: that should be a genuine thing.
39:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the music of Star Wars John Williams is
39:49
Speaker 1: so beloved, But also John Williams is ninety two. You're
39:52
Speaker 1: not gonna evoke his feeling for forever. And generations change
39:57
Speaker 1: and want different types of music in their paradect Like,
40:02
Speaker 1: the only reason I'm listening to like Pano adaptations right
40:07
Speaker 1: now is because that's what Marco likes. I'm not, like,
40:11
Speaker 1: that's not me at all. I'm not a classical music
40:14
Speaker 1: person by any means. Like people are like, oh, yeah,
40:17
Speaker 1: I listen to Hans Zimmer or I listen to John
40:19
Speaker 1: Williams and that's how I study. No, absolutely, Like, don't
40:26
Speaker 1: get me wrong, I love the music in the context
40:29
Speaker 1: of the movie. But I have literally tried sitting there
40:32
Speaker 1: because they're like, oh yeah, classical music is best for
40:34
Speaker 1: the brain and that's how you remember things. And I
40:37
Speaker 1: will sit there and I literally fell asleep at my
40:39
Speaker 1: desk one time.
40:40
Speaker 2: Like it's it's rough. I can't do it. I can't
40:44
Speaker 2: do classical music. I can barely do like movie soundtracks.
40:51
Speaker 2: It's just not my thing. Now again, I like the
40:54
Speaker 2: technical side of it. If you put me in front
40:57
Speaker 2: of a screen and you show me, oh this was
41:00
Speaker 2: made using this and putting this together. Like I love
41:03
Speaker 2: all of that. That's fun to me, but listening to
41:06
Speaker 2: it just because I can't do it. I can't do it,
41:10
Speaker 2: Like I at one point, like I'm a really big
41:13
Speaker 2: fan of Man of Steel and like I love the
41:18
Speaker 2: fly scene, I cannot listen to that music by itself.
41:23
Speaker 2: It's just like, oh my god, this thing's like six
41:25
Speaker 2: minutes long. Let's just move on already, come on, keep going,
41:28
Speaker 2: Like I need something a little bit more energizing, something
41:32
Speaker 2: with lyrics something. So that's that's just me though, and
41:37
Speaker 2: everybody has a different opinion.
41:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, And if that's controversial, I'm sorry. I just can't
41:42
Speaker 1: do it. Like I'm just I'm also just not a
41:45
Speaker 1: music person in general, Like but it's really not.
41:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, but again, I think it would be a very
41:52
Speaker 2: fun integration of modern music within Star Wars if they
42:00
Speaker 2: were to do that in future projects. So, Lucasfilm, if
42:04
Speaker 2: you're listening to us, we give you the green light.
42:08
Speaker 2: It's okay, Okay, just do it. It's gonna be fine.
42:15
Speaker 2: Do we have anything else to say about the trailer specific?
42:20
Speaker 1: Really, I'm really interested by the footage. It kind of
42:23
Speaker 1: looks and based on some of the quotes in the interviews,
42:27
Speaker 1: it kind of looks like we could be doing something
42:30
Speaker 1: along the lines of, Oh my gosh, what's the Jim
42:32
Speaker 1: Carrey movie where the Truman Show? Because oh yeah, basically
42:38
Speaker 1: one of the one of the kids is like, oh yeah,
42:41
Speaker 1: like we're traveling around and nobody knows what planet we're from.
42:45
Speaker 1: Like we keep saying like we need to get back
42:46
Speaker 1: to our planet, but they don't know what planet we're from.
42:49
Speaker 2: That is very interesting. I think that is a very
42:53
Speaker 2: fun thing because again, we talk about it all the time.
42:58
Speaker 2: We in every Star Wars project get a mention of
43:05
Speaker 2: a known planet within Star Wars. And I think it's
43:08
Speaker 2: more so for a fact, for us the audience to
43:12
Speaker 2: feel connected to the universe, right. I think it's just
43:16
Speaker 2: very simple of like, oh course on yeah, we all
43:18
Speaker 2: know Courson, it's you know where the Jedi Temple was,
43:21
Speaker 2: and you know the Senate and all of this a
43:22
Speaker 2: blah blah blah blah. Oh we know Tattooine. Oh we
43:25
Speaker 2: know this. Like, I think it's very much for the
43:27
Speaker 2: audience to be like, hey, you are in the Star
43:31
Speaker 2: Wars universe. For the fact that a plot point in
43:36
Speaker 2: this series is these kids wanting to go on in
43:41
Speaker 2: an adventure, end up leaving their home planet and then
43:45
Speaker 2: trying to get home and nobody knows where they are. Katie,
43:51
Speaker 2: are we finally going to hit outside and this should.
44:02
Speaker 1: Be our final ad break? So y'all thanks for bearing
44:06
Speaker 1: with us. We appreciate y'all. We'll be right back. I
44:09
Speaker 1: don't think so, because in the trailer, one of the
44:13
Speaker 1: kids has Old Republic credits and the bartenders like, where
44:18
Speaker 1: did you get Old Republic credits? Like, so I think,
44:22
Speaker 1: like maybe the planet could be outside, but also where
44:27
Speaker 1: would they get Old Republic credits if they were outside
44:32
Speaker 1: of the like in the Unknown Regions? So that could
44:37
Speaker 1: have been cool, if not in a really good theory,
44:41
Speaker 1: if not for that scene, ununless unless they got it
44:46
Speaker 1: off the Jedi ship.
44:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, fine, that's what I mean. It is completely possible,
44:52
Speaker 2: because I also don't believe that in a universe like
45:01
Speaker 2: Star Wars where a galactic war took place for so
45:09
Speaker 2: many years and technically still going on semi during this
45:15
Speaker 2: time of the Skeleton Crew, Like, how if they were
45:25
Speaker 2: inside like the known universe that we've seen in Star Wars.
45:31
Speaker 2: How can people not know about it?
45:34
Speaker 1: No, it could completely be like they're a colony in
45:37
Speaker 1: the unknown regions that like Palpatine put out because he
45:41
Speaker 1: wanted to, like and a lot of people have said
45:44
Speaker 1: this is a theory, but like make it so that
45:48
Speaker 1: like there's part of the galaxy that thinks like everything's
45:51
Speaker 1: still fine and tandy, and like you're feeding in like
45:54
Speaker 1: the news that you want and everything, which could explain
45:57
Speaker 1: like the suburbia that we're seeing. Ah, because ultimately I
46:03
Speaker 1: think that's the best theory is, Hey, we have suburban
46:07
Speaker 1: Star Wars. There's other planets in the galaxy. Guys. Things
46:11
Speaker 1: can look like Earth.
46:13
Speaker 2: Oh how fucking weird. Sorry for really good but just
46:18
Speaker 2: thinking about like Alpatine making this plan It's like, and
46:22
Speaker 2: then I went a neighborhood and I want, you know,
46:25
Speaker 2: this col de Sac here, I want this cold de
46:28
Speaker 2: Sac here, you know. Like it's so stupid and funny
46:33
Speaker 2: at the same time, but yeah, I could totally see
46:38
Speaker 2: that for him to be able to control a whole
46:43
Speaker 2: region of space to like its birthing point, right, and
46:47
Speaker 2: so he is feeding it from the ground up, Like
46:51
Speaker 2: I think that would be an interesting plot point. I
46:55
Speaker 2: kind of feel like that would be something that was
46:58
Speaker 2: shown though, like because I think that would be a
47:01
Speaker 2: hook to be like, oh wow, that's so strange. But again,
47:05
Speaker 2: I think this one scene of oh how'd you get
47:08
Speaker 2: old Republic credits? I think that within itself, people are
47:11
Speaker 2: latching onto it, so it is important, right, So, and
47:16
Speaker 2: I'm like.
47:19
Speaker 1: It could also tie back into the Throng plot, like
47:23
Speaker 1: maybe Throng did some building there because he wanted to
47:28
Speaker 1: kind of see how people of the Republic could adapt
47:33
Speaker 1: like to what was going on. But you also talk
47:37
Speaker 1: about how like oh, how would you not know that
47:39
Speaker 1: a great war is happening? But remember, there's like seven
47:42
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty known planets I think the last NAP counting,
47:48
Speaker 1: and then we've had like several new planets come up
47:51
Speaker 1: since then. And in legends, there was the inner core
47:59
Speaker 1: of the known galaxy and it was tough to get there,
48:02
Speaker 1: and that's where like tie this and things were, and
48:07
Speaker 1: you had to go through like certain like nebulas and everything.
48:14
Speaker 1: But like Bain goes there, Ban goes to one of
48:17
Speaker 1: the planets in the inner core that's impossible to find,
48:21
Speaker 1: and the Jedi are only able to follow him because
48:25
Speaker 1: they knew where he like they like started out falling
48:28
Speaker 1: and stuff. And I'm paraphrasing a lot of this, but
48:32
Speaker 1: like Zana talks about like or no, it's Xana's new
48:39
Speaker 1: apprentice goes, well, like, how are the Jedi not going
48:42
Speaker 1: to find us here? And she's like, well, we killed
48:44
Speaker 1: all the Jedi and they're never going to be able
48:46
Speaker 1: to find this place. So there definitely planets that are
48:51
Speaker 1: like able to hide with like their circumstances space stuff
49:01
Speaker 1: around them and everything.
49:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think it's I think it's a very
49:08
Speaker 2: fun idea. It's a very interesting idea because, like you said,
49:12
Speaker 2: as a universe that we the audience have been so
49:18
Speaker 2: accustomed to just like oh yeah, people just travel through
49:22
Speaker 2: light speed and they go to all these planets and
49:25
Speaker 2: that everybody knows. It's a very key point and a
49:29
Speaker 2: very interesting point that there's just happens to be one
49:32
Speaker 2: planet that people don't know of, And I think that's
49:34
Speaker 2: very very cool. But yeah, I think it's going to
49:37
Speaker 2: be a very fun series. A lot of people are
49:41
Speaker 2: attaching themselves to this one individual character in this series. Yes,
49:50
Speaker 2: that is in fact not related or the same species
49:56
Speaker 2: relative to that of Max re Belt, uh.
50:01
Speaker 1: Which is strange to me.
50:04
Speaker 2: What but.
50:06
Speaker 1: Like, I don't know, like it, I am like, and
50:12
Speaker 1: it goes back to like the oh, like Finns a
50:15
Speaker 1: black person, so he's related to the Lando thing. I'm sorry,
50:18
Speaker 1: but like they look exactly the same.
50:24
Speaker 2: They do and they don't. So one thing that I
50:29
Speaker 2: noticed with this character in Skeleton Crew she has an iris,
50:36
Speaker 2: she has pupils, whereas Max Rebo's eyes are all black. Okay,
50:43
Speaker 2: so there is small characteristics that are there. The trunks
50:48
Speaker 2: on of course, their face different sizes. Now it could
50:53
Speaker 2: be for the fact that this individual is a kid exactly.
50:59
Speaker 2: This individual has what looks like hair, where Max Ribo
51:03
Speaker 2: did not, you know. Uh, So I think there are
51:07
Speaker 2: key things. And for the fact that Max Rebo was
51:10
Speaker 2: for some reason always naked and this individual is not.
51:16
Speaker 2: So like there's something to that as well. So I
51:19
Speaker 2: think that it is, in my mind a little obvious
51:23
Speaker 2: that they were not the same species, but you know,
51:29
Speaker 2: change their owne as far as like, cause again, this
51:33
Speaker 2: is a large universe. Yeah, there should be a large
51:39
Speaker 2: amount of species.
51:41
Speaker 1: Completely lave hair and I'm trying to wrap my head
51:43
Speaker 1: around it. But it's at the same time, it's like
51:46
Speaker 1: alien looks identical and because like you could also use
51:53
Speaker 1: like the well they look different too, but like all
51:58
Speaker 1: the twilights look different, so I don't.
52:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah I can. I can agree to that to
52:08
Speaker 2: a point.
52:10
Speaker 1: You got yeah, purple, you got orange, you got green,
52:13
Speaker 1: and yellow, blue, blue. But then like the headtails can
52:18
Speaker 1: be different, so like men can have two, but they
52:21
Speaker 1: can also have three, or they could have one, but
52:25
Speaker 1: then girls always have two, and then the females have
52:29
Speaker 1: cone ears and the males don't. Yeah, there's a lot
52:36
Speaker 1: of weird rules to Star Wars people, it's just the
52:39
Speaker 1: way it goes.
52:41
Speaker 2: So I think it's gonna be fun. I think that
52:45
Speaker 2: people should not try and get caught up in the
52:52
Speaker 2: quote unquote rules of Star Wars because sometimes that just
52:58
Speaker 2: it makes it not fun. And I think we just
53:01
Speaker 2: need oh what was it?
53:04
Speaker 1: Ultimately you could be critical of a show without insulting
53:09
Speaker 1: the actors, and especially considering the main actors are children.
53:14
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, no, there there is. I think we discussed
53:22
Speaker 2: it before, but like a couple of weeks ago, there
53:24
Speaker 2: was a huge post that was kind of going viral
53:26
Speaker 2: that was like, oh, protect these kids, and then somebody
53:29
Speaker 2: quote tweeted it and said, no, these kids don't need protecting,
53:33
Speaker 2: they just need to take criticism. Blah blah blah. And
53:35
Speaker 2: then there is a lot of conversation about like it's
53:38
Speaker 2: because of posts like this that we do need to
53:40
Speaker 2: protect these kids, you know. So, yeah, suck.
53:45
Speaker 1: Is not valid criticism pre any variation.
53:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again I truly believe there's no valid criticism
53:57
Speaker 2: until at least the first episode is out. There can
54:00
Speaker 2: be opinions on choices, so exactly, yes, there could be
54:06
Speaker 2: valid criticisms of themes and like the direction the show
54:13
Speaker 2: could be going. But like to flat out say, like
54:18
Speaker 2: a harsh criticism towards something that has not even aired yet. Again,
54:23
Speaker 2: we've been through this with the Acolyte. It don't do
54:26
Speaker 2: it with the show, guys. It's it's it's a waste
54:29
Speaker 2: of time for everybody. So let's just enjoy what we have.
54:35
Speaker 1: I mean, if you don't want to enjoy it, don't
54:37
Speaker 1: watch it.
54:38
Speaker 2: Yeah. I agree with that one hundred percent.
54:44
Speaker 1: To our main topics.
54:45
Speaker 2: Yes, to our main topic tonight, which is Padawan's pride
54:51
Speaker 2: and Katie. I will completely admit during that whole entire
54:54
Speaker 2: time I was doing chores. I still had about forty
54:57
Speaker 2: minutes left on the the audiobook, and so I put
55:02
Speaker 2: it to one point five speed and listen to the
55:04
Speaker 2: rest of it. I got it all done this time,
55:09
Speaker 2: and I did. I did. I did end up finishing
55:13
Speaker 2: empires In because I did make that promise. I was
55:16
Speaker 2: gonna skip right to Padawan's Pride, but I was like,
55:19
Speaker 2: it's only thirty minutes, let's go ahead and listen to it.
55:22
Speaker 2: And so I did a good job.
55:24
Speaker 1: I'm so proud of you.
55:25
Speaker 2: We both had to suffered, you know, Yes, so Padawan's Pride.
55:32
Speaker 1: Uh.
55:33
Speaker 2: This of course is taking place after Phantom Menace, before
55:42
Speaker 2: Attack of the Clones. And one thing that I think
55:48
Speaker 2: is so hilarious is it doesn't seem like Obi Wan
55:54
Speaker 2: Kenobi has aged at all from this moment to the
56:00
Speaker 2: moment we see him in Attack of the Clones. He
56:05
Speaker 2: like for the the the amount of years. It's it
56:10
Speaker 2: is in between, like there is a fountain of youth
56:14
Speaker 2: that Obi Wan is just drinking from. Because they use
56:18
Speaker 2: the exact same character model for this cover for Obi
56:26
Speaker 2: Wan from Attack of the Clones and then there's a
56:30
Speaker 2: slight change. I can almost guarantee that whoever drew this
56:36
Speaker 2: took the character model because I believe there was an
56:40
Speaker 2: old school cult scholastic novel, of course would be considered
56:44
Speaker 2: legends now of Anakin as a padawan lets him on
56:50
Speaker 2: the cover, and I believe somebody just found that on Google.
56:54
Speaker 2: Whoever did this cover and just like drew that as
56:58
Speaker 2: a reference because it looks like But I digress this
57:05
Speaker 2: is and I had to kind of roll my eyes
57:08
Speaker 2: at the reasoning why this mission takes place. But Katie,
57:14
Speaker 2: why don't you give us a quick summary, a round
57:17
Speaker 2: up if you will, of like what this audiobook is about.
57:25
Speaker 1: So this audiobook takes place, Oh you want and Anakin
57:30
Speaker 1: are supposed to go on a mission and then you're
57:32
Speaker 1: pod racing. Anakin is the pod racer to specific and
57:38
Speaker 1: they are trying to bring home a Republic spy who
57:42
Speaker 1: has been spying on the criminal syndicates. And they get
57:47
Speaker 1: to I forget the planet. This is the problem with
57:51
Speaker 1: audio originals too, is I need a physical because I
57:54
Speaker 1: like to read it and understand and like be able
57:56
Speaker 1: to Yeah, anyways.
57:59
Speaker 2: On the Moons of Viral is where Viral.
58:05
Speaker 1: And so they get to Viral and Obi Wan has
58:08
Speaker 1: to leave because he is familiar with the Hut that
58:14
Speaker 1: is on the planet Ah, and the Hut does not
58:19
Speaker 1: like him very much and will blow their cover. So
58:22
Speaker 1: Anakin is left to fend for himself in a race
58:28
Speaker 1: to save the agent and discover if he's truly meant
58:31
Speaker 1: to be a Jedi.
58:34
Speaker 2: Yeah. I kind of rolled my eyes when there. There
58:41
Speaker 2: is a moment in the beginning of this audiobook where
58:44
Speaker 2: or audible when uh, because it opens up with Anakin
58:50
Speaker 2: stealing a speeder or some sort of aircraft and flying
58:57
Speaker 2: it through Coruscant. Uh. We know that at this time,
59:03
Speaker 2: Obi Wan Kenobi is spending a lot of midnight hours
59:09
Speaker 2: uh in the Jedi archives trying to figure out who
59:14
Speaker 2: killed Qui gon Jin.
59:18
Speaker 1: Yes, so trying to see he does. Ultimately came to
59:23
Speaker 1: the idea of okay, maybe he was a Sith, but
59:26
Speaker 1: was he the master or was he the apprentice?
59:32
Speaker 2: Yes?
59:33
Speaker 1: And uh.
59:36
Speaker 2: When oh man I keep forgetting the uh uh the
59:45
Speaker 2: librarian archivist, Yes, Jocasta. She confronts Obi Wan and she's like, oh,
59:54
Speaker 2: by the way, the council is looking for you. He's like,
59:57
Speaker 2: at this hour, what's going on? Like why are they
1:00:00
Speaker 2: looking for me at this hour? And then all of
1:00:02
Speaker 2: a sudden, you just hear the sirens. He's like, ah, crap,
1:00:06
Speaker 2: what did Anakin do this? And it's the fact that
1:00:10
Speaker 2: Anakin stole a speeder and he's They end up going
1:00:15
Speaker 2: to the council and they're like, Okay, he stole a speeder.
1:00:18
Speaker 2: I didn't pay attention to him enough to like, you know,
1:00:22
Speaker 2: make sure that this didn't happen. We both need to
1:00:24
Speaker 2: be punished. What's going on? And You're just like, oh, well, uh,
1:00:31
Speaker 2: there's no punishment for now, but there's a mission for you.
1:00:35
Speaker 2: And Obi One's like just like, are you kidding me?
1:00:39
Speaker 2: We we both did something very wrong, and I like
1:00:42
Speaker 2: how Anakin it's kind of like just looking at him, like, dude,
1:00:45
Speaker 2: are you trying to get me kicked out of the
1:00:46
Speaker 2: freaking academy?
1:00:50
Speaker 1: Hey, where's our homework? We didn't get assigned any homework.
1:00:53
Speaker 2: And they're like, shut up, dude. I don't like, like,
1:00:57
Speaker 2: stop being a narc you know. But this is where
1:01:01
Speaker 2: I rolled my eyes because Yoda was like, oh, it's
1:01:04
Speaker 2: a mission that only Anakin can can can what's the
1:01:12
Speaker 2: crazy accomplished? Yeah? And then the new chapter starts and
1:01:16
Speaker 2: it's like, oh, pod racing and I'm like, oh God,
1:01:21
Speaker 2: like why Like I I understand there's a there's a
1:01:27
Speaker 2: bit of fun with that idea, but why pod racing?
1:01:34
Speaker 2: You could have given anything, Well, you.
1:01:37
Speaker 1: Have to think about it. You need something that's applicable
1:01:39
Speaker 1: for Anakin to kind of because this is ultimately like
1:01:44
Speaker 1: Anakin's Padawan book. Like obi Wan was struggling to figure
1:01:48
Speaker 1: out if he was meant to be a Jedd, this
1:01:50
Speaker 1: is same exact thing. So you need something that Anakin
1:01:55
Speaker 1: is good at, even though we know he's basically good
1:01:58
Speaker 1: at anything he touches, So you need something that he's
1:02:02
Speaker 1: naturally good at. You also need the capability for people
1:02:06
Speaker 1: to recognize him because the Hut does end up recognizing
1:02:09
Speaker 1: him based off his pod racing skills and like having
1:02:16
Speaker 1: familiar faces like the whole thing just to like draw
1:02:19
Speaker 1: people in and everything. Plus you need something that like
1:02:26
Speaker 1: Anakin's not just good at, but he can do by
1:02:29
Speaker 1: himself because you need obi Wan to go away. Yeh,
1:02:35
Speaker 1: So to me it made sense. Plus we never got
1:02:40
Speaker 1: any pod racing after the movies, Like I know, there's
1:02:43
Speaker 1: like the video games and stuff. Yeah, like in pod
1:02:46
Speaker 1: racing never came back up, So to me, it wasn't.
1:02:49
Speaker 2: Like, ah, like really like that's true, and I think
1:02:54
Speaker 2: it's I think that The Phantom Menace, of course, had
1:02:58
Speaker 2: the unfortunate uh fan reaction of like, oh, this is
1:03:04
Speaker 2: the worst Star Wars movie ever, So Lucasfilm probably wanted
1:03:10
Speaker 2: to veer away from anything and everything that episode one
1:03:16
Speaker 2: had in it. So yeah, of course they didn't bring
1:03:20
Speaker 2: back pod racing, which is a very good point actually,
1:03:25
Speaker 2: Like like even even you you look at things like
1:03:29
Speaker 2: the High Republic and there hasn't been anything of the
1:03:34
Speaker 2: sorts when it comes to sports.
1:03:36
Speaker 1: See, and I'm still like you get sports because you
1:03:40
Speaker 1: have like your father year racing and then you have
1:03:43
Speaker 1: like it was Tales of the of Light and Life
1:03:51
Speaker 1: because like, oh, oh, what's his name? Grey Lark? Grey
1:03:57
Speaker 1: Lark was playing something in there, and.
1:04:02
Speaker 2: I'm going to create that I don't remember that.
1:04:04
Speaker 1: I'm fairly certain he was playing like they were watching something.
1:04:07
Speaker 1: He wasn't playing it, he was watching it.
1:04:09
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, But.
1:04:12
Speaker 1: There's like other mentions of sports. It's just like you
1:04:18
Speaker 1: don't get like a big appeal for it, I guess,
1:04:23
Speaker 1: but like there's a lot of racing and stuff and
1:04:26
Speaker 1: like to me, honestly, all this and I said, like
1:04:31
Speaker 1: Lego Skywalker Saga was the dream, but the ultimate dream
1:04:35
Speaker 1: is a Star Wars pod racing game in the similar
1:04:38
Speaker 1: vein of Mario Kart.
1:04:40
Speaker 2: That I think, I think that would be I think
1:04:43
Speaker 2: that would be very fun. There's there's a lot of
1:04:49
Speaker 2: racing games that Lucas Film can kind of look into
1:04:55
Speaker 2: to be like, oh, how can we adapt pod racing
1:05:00
Speaker 2: you modern gaming? And I think it can definitely work.
1:05:03
Speaker 2: But yeah, like the idea of this pod race is
1:05:07
Speaker 2: something that, like you said, only Anakin can do on
1:05:11
Speaker 2: his own. He gets to build his own pod racer,
1:05:17
Speaker 2: and he has this like little flashback of when he
1:05:21
Speaker 2: built his and won the race on Tattooine. But he
1:05:26
Speaker 2: was like, oh, man, but back then, I had so
1:05:28
Speaker 2: many people with me. I had all my friends, Pad May, Judge,
1:05:32
Speaker 2: jar binks Qui, gon Jin, they were all there. And
1:05:35
Speaker 2: you know, he's a little sad now because he doesn't
1:05:38
Speaker 2: have anybody. Like you said, there is a bit of
1:05:44
Speaker 2: a questioning of whether he should be the the Jedi
1:05:50
Speaker 2: that you know he's training to be at this current time,
1:05:55
Speaker 2: and like you said, Obi Wan has to leave. There's
1:05:57
Speaker 2: even a moment where he is doing I think at
1:06:00
Speaker 2: this time Anakin was doing a test run and obi
1:06:06
Speaker 2: Wan just all of a sudden is talking on a
1:06:09
Speaker 2: uh on their colms and he's like slow down, like
1:06:16
Speaker 2: you're driving like a Jedi, stop doing that, And Anakin's like,
1:06:21
Speaker 2: where the hell are you? Like how are you even
1:06:24
Speaker 2: watching me right now? And he's just like just consider
1:06:28
Speaker 2: me there in spirit, which I think is a little
1:06:31
Speaker 2: like on the nose, like oh, you know, uh Luke
1:06:34
Speaker 2: Skywalker and obi Wan like the forest like, oh, I
1:06:37
Speaker 2: think there's a little bit of that going on there,
1:06:39
Speaker 2: which I think is fun.
1:06:41
Speaker 1: And remember this is a middle grade kid's book. Ye
1:06:47
Speaker 1: I was saying that more for like people listening like
1:06:51
Speaker 1: like geese.
1:06:53
Speaker 2: To be expected, Like there's there's a moment where, like
1:06:57
Speaker 2: in I don't necessarily like how they the scene, but
1:07:01
Speaker 2: there's a moment where Anakin needs to like create a distraction,
1:07:04
Speaker 2: so he's like using the force to like kind of
1:07:08
Speaker 2: create this chaos moment at like a dinner or something.
1:07:12
Speaker 3: And the way the narrator described it was he was
1:07:18
Speaker 3: explaining the plan that Anakin was going to do, but
1:07:23
Speaker 3: like the way he described it was also it was
1:07:26
Speaker 3: happening in real time, so I got a little lost
1:07:28
Speaker 3: there for a second and I had to be like, Okay,
1:07:31
Speaker 3: so this actually did happen, even though you're using like
1:07:35
Speaker 3: future in past tense.
1:07:37
Speaker 2: Okay, it's whatever. But yeah, I think and again I
1:07:42
Speaker 2: don't think this review is going to be very long. Again,
1:07:45
Speaker 2: this was only a like it is literally three hours
1:07:50
Speaker 2: and fifty seven minutes, I think, so a little under
1:07:54
Speaker 2: four hours, like Katie had said before. But ultimately, I
1:07:59
Speaker 2: think it was a fun little story. I think that
1:08:03
Speaker 2: this is a very unique ordeal that Star Wars has
1:08:09
Speaker 2: decided to do with these audio originals.
1:08:12
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. Yeah, I think this was a fun story.
1:08:17
Speaker 1: It was a fun read. It wasn't something that dragged
1:08:20
Speaker 1: at all. The author, by the way, because you have
1:08:25
Speaker 1: not mentioned that at all, is Brian Q Miller, who
1:08:32
Speaker 1: has he written any other things. He wrote on the
1:08:36
Speaker 1: television series Small Bill and wrote for the Batgirl comic
1:08:41
Speaker 1: book run, but this was his first uh Star Wars appearance.
1:08:48
Speaker 1: The narrator is Kevin pen who really did a fantastic job.
1:08:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, he did a very very good job with the
1:09:02
Speaker 2: like uh dialect of the young actor. I can't remember
1:09:06
Speaker 2: his name off the top of my head. Yeah, for Anakin,
1:09:09
Speaker 2: I think that he did a fairly good job with
1:09:11
Speaker 2: the dialect. Jake Lloyd, Yes, and his his OBI one
1:09:16
Speaker 2: was was pretty well as well.
1:09:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, I honestly the first time I read I listened
1:09:23
Speaker 1: to this when it first came out, because obviously on
1:09:26
Speaker 1: audio originals at this point was Star Wars, right, you're
1:09:29
Speaker 1: thinking like full cast and everything. So honestly, the first
1:09:33
Speaker 1: time I listened to it, I was like, oh, this
1:09:36
Speaker 1: is like a full cast like Brava, Like, I'm impressed,
1:09:42
Speaker 1: and so it's not a full cast, but I was
1:09:45
Speaker 1: still like, very I thoroughly enjoyed the listen. And Jake Bartalk,
1:09:52
Speaker 1: who you see on Star Wars Twitter, he does like
1:09:56
Speaker 1: the He does a lot of higher public artwork with
1:10:01
Speaker 1: like the old look and everything. He actually did the
1:10:04
Speaker 1: art on this, and he did the art on Seeds
1:10:07
Speaker 1: of Starlight, so okay.
1:10:09
Speaker 2: I thought I thought it looked familiar as far as
1:10:11
Speaker 2: the art style. He's actually been doing a lot of
1:10:15
Speaker 2: stuff for Star Wars and comics.
1:10:19
Speaker 1: Actually yeah, because he's started a lot of work on
1:10:23
Speaker 1: the higher public adventures, but he was known for a
1:10:29
Speaker 1: lot of Star Wars fan art and actually it looks
1:10:33
Speaker 1: like the first actual cover they have him down for
1:10:37
Speaker 1: is Alyssa Wong's The Battle of Ariatu, so they just
1:10:42
Speaker 1: have him down for stories of Jedi and Sith and
1:10:46
Speaker 1: then Patwan's Pride after that. H But I mean it's
1:10:53
Speaker 1: a really simple listen I have. Like I said, I
1:10:56
Speaker 1: shared it with my sister and she was like, oh,
1:10:58
Speaker 1: like Keith A love this, and he really did. Keith
1:11:01
Speaker 1: is my is my one and a half year old nephew.
1:11:06
Speaker 1: So like they put on all these because Disney released
1:11:09
Speaker 1: like a Frozen audiobook a Cars, so this was like
1:11:14
Speaker 1: a bunch of like Audible original straight front Disney. So
1:11:18
Speaker 1: it was a good move. I think I'm very sad
1:11:22
Speaker 1: that there was no publication like, oh hey these are coming,
1:11:26
Speaker 1: so like at least we found out about Seeds of
1:11:28
Speaker 1: Starlight in advance.
1:11:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would like to know if cause again, you know,
1:11:36
Speaker 2: just the work that I do. Eventually, these books are
1:11:41
Speaker 2: solicited for me. So even though I'm putting in this info,
1:11:44
Speaker 2: there is once a month we put a huge catalog
1:11:47
Speaker 2: saying hey, this stuff is new to order, this stuff
1:11:51
Speaker 2: is now on sale, you know, all of these different things.
1:11:55
Speaker 2: I think Amazon and Audible should definitely do that type
1:11:59
Speaker 2: of thing when it comes to these originals.
1:12:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I get emails about new things on Audible,
1:12:12
Speaker 1: but I haven't opened those emails and forever, like they
1:12:14
Speaker 1: go to a spam folder basically. Yeah, like they were
1:12:19
Speaker 1: doing a three like if you spend three credits then
1:12:23
Speaker 1: you get a credit free sale, and I didn't find
1:12:25
Speaker 1: out about it for two months, like.
1:12:29
Speaker 2: I remember that sale. Yeah.
1:12:34
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's just like it's a lot, and I
1:12:38
Speaker 1: think Audible is trying to expand its horizons with kind
1:12:42
Speaker 1: of getting some more originals because they had a lot
1:12:44
Speaker 1: of originals and then they like dropped off the map
1:12:48
Speaker 1: and stuff, so like the originals part of it and everything.
1:12:54
Speaker 1: So overall, if you have an Audible account, I would
1:12:58
Speaker 1: recommend getting giving this a listen, especially if you have
1:13:03
Speaker 1: younger kids. I think it's fully appropriate for younger kids especially.
1:13:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so as well. And again for those
1:13:15
Speaker 2: who do listen to things like on their way to
1:13:18
Speaker 2: work and stuff, this is a good, like week long listen,
1:13:23
Speaker 2: you know, to work and back. I think would be
1:13:25
Speaker 2: a very easy listen to to be completely honest.
1:13:29
Speaker 1: So yeah, now that we're in daycare, I'm gonna start
1:13:33
Speaker 1: putting audio books back on in the car because I
1:13:36
Speaker 1: take her in the morning and that picture up. So
1:13:40
Speaker 1: I now have a commute as a remote worker.
1:13:46
Speaker 2: Oh so, hey, at least you get out of the house.
1:13:51
Speaker 2: That's a good thing.
1:13:53
Speaker 1: It's probably a good thing for my mental health.
1:13:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think it's it's very much a
1:13:59
Speaker 2: good thing.
1:14:00
Speaker 1: Otherwise I just stay at my desk, don't they I
1:14:02
Speaker 1: get to stare at the window my neighbors across the
1:14:06
Speaker 1: street are putting. In an addition, I get to see
1:14:08
Speaker 1: the progress I live more, y'all. But with that, guys, Clay,
1:14:18
Speaker 1: I think that's it.
1:14:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, it very much is. I wish that's And here's
1:14:25
Speaker 2: the hard thing. One last comment about this. You know
1:14:29
Speaker 2: we're talking about the runtime three hours and fifty seven minutes.
1:14:33
Speaker 2: I think this might be a sweet spot. You know,
1:14:37
Speaker 2: the we talked about the other one that is coming
1:14:41
Speaker 2: out soon, it is four hours and twenty nine minutes.
1:14:45
Speaker 2: I don't think you can break the five hour mark
1:14:51
Speaker 2: with these because at because if they want them to
1:14:56
Speaker 2: just be smaller projects, I think this is the way
1:14:59
Speaker 2: to go. It's really easy. And I don't know, I
1:15:05
Speaker 2: like something about it is just like, hey, this needs
1:15:08
Speaker 2: to be a small thing. So yeah, I think this
1:15:13
Speaker 2: three to five hour mark is going to be a
1:15:17
Speaker 2: sweet spot for these audible originals. But guys, yeah, we
1:15:22
Speaker 2: want to thank you for being here to listen to
1:15:24
Speaker 2: our review. Thank you for you know, just talk about

1:15:37
