  Speaker 2: Of course, I'm your host Clay and with me for
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: this grand finale, and I am not yet saying series
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: because there is small hopes out there in the world.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Apparently today we'll talk about that briefly, but talking about
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: the finale of Skeleton Crew season one. So, Asian, I
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: saw that you enjoyed this episode. I enjoyed the episode.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: I do have one qualm that we will get passed
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: very quickly. I feel like i'd like to get.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I'm excited to hear. Yeah, I mean I honestly, I
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: haven't talked to really anyone about it. I mean, the
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: just knew that I had to get my review in
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: for for why though, and I just wanted to make
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: sure that was like as authentic to me as possible.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I didn't really talk to anyone about it,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: and I didn't have any real qulums. So there's something
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I missed, something excited to hear about it.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Well, it's gonna be It's gonna be a fun one
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: to talk about.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, well, what else can you talk
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: about in this show other than like if you're not
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: talking about the fun stuff in this then like what
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: what are you? What are you doing here?
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Well, and and that's the thing I want to jump
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: right into it because one thing, we usually talk news
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: and everything else. There wasn't a whole lot out there
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: this week as far as news. Uh, there is the
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: rumor and yet not yet confirmed conversations of the supposed
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: villain for the Mandalorian movie being that of oh shoot,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: I even forgot his name, the one that Dave Filoni
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: voices in La Clone Wars. It was do you remember
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: his name?
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: I hadn't seen this news at all, so I'm not
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: even I'm not even versed.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Oh really Okay, So so yeah, let me go ahead
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: and bring that up duper quickly if it is in well,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: you know what, let's go ahead and start with this news.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: I will say this, this has been somewhat confirmed quote unquote.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know if there has. Oh, there is a
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: TCHR article, Hollywood Report article on the fact that Ray
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Stephenson's role is being replaced. Of course, Ray Stevenson unfortunately
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: passed away and will not be able to of course
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: continue his role as Bayleen. But Game of Thrones actor
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Rory McCain will now or McCann will now be playing
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Baylen Skull. Now. I will say this, I have only
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: seen the first five that episodes of season one of
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Game of Thrones. I am slowly making my way, gotcha
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: through that series. Are you familiar with Game of Thrones?
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Are you familiar with Yeah, I'm I'm very familiar with
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Game of Thrones. I'm I'm one of those guys who talked,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: talked your head out off about it and then totally
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: fell off the planet because D and D hates their
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: fans and character development. So for me, I think the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: announcement is super great because he's great in that, I hope,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, And it's not like it's not like he's
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: like playing the same role, right, Like it's not the
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: hound is not what where Stevenson was playing in Ahsoka,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: So like that that, I think that's okay. I would
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I think I read somebody that they're friends or something
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: like that, right, that they're close, Yeah, that they were, Yeah,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: So I mean, I think that alone, I think gives
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: warrant for him to play it, and I hope that
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: they do do it because it show needs to go on,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: right and we all know that we don't want cgi
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: stuff ever again, yeah, not doing it. Please just recast
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: the actors man like Star Trek shows that you can
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: do that. Look at other franchises. You cast the actors.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: It's fine, their integrity stays the same. It's not a
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: big deal. How many Kirks have you had? And then
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: you still think of what Kirk do you think of
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: when I say Kirk? And given all the ones that
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: we've had, it's fine of them exactly. Yeah, So like
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's okay, it'll be fine. So I'm down.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I'm down. Let's do it.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: So in regards to the other rumor, I'm trying to
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: I know that the g Ua has a lot of conversations.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to scroll through here to try and find
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: the exact one that says it. But it was apparently
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: that there is a character in the Clone Wars that
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: I can't remember his name that Dave Filoni voices it
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: is shoot uh Imbo, the bounty hunter Embo. There is Yeah,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: that'd be dope. Oh yeah, there is a voice him.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's such a low key role that I
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: forget that he voices him. Yeah, No, that'd be great.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there is a rumor that Imbo will be the
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: main focused villain of the Mandalorian and Grogu movie and
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: that Embo will basically be going after the Young Hut
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: that is also rumored to be in the Mandalorian in
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Grogu movie. So, uh, it's gonna be a.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Very interesting one. He was, He wasn't like a bad dude.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: How where I it was?
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: It was very brief. It wasn't Wait, No, I don't
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: like it. I don't like it.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking more about it, Clay, I don't like it.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Of all the things you could do for the movie,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: you bring back Mbo to be your villain of all,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: like the new characters he Caredy created all Like, I
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: just don't what.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: It's a very weird pool. I will say that, I
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: feel like it's a very out of left field pool
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: of being somebody who of course we're talking Clone Wars
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: era jumping all the way to the Mandalorian era, and
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: of course we have seen other bounty hunters from that
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: era show up.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah cad Bane. And you know, how did that go
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: over with the fans? Like, no one fucking liked it?
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Like if if if you couldn't do cad Bane. What
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: makes you think you're gonna be able to do Embo?
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. No, I I totally agree, and that's why
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm very hesitant, Yeah, says here. Comicbook dot Com
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: says star Wars. Who is the bounty hunter Embo and
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: is he in the Mandalorian grogu? It's gonna be very interesting.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know how well this.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I don't know. I don't like it.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I really don't, like.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: I said, I just feel like it's such a out
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: of left field pool for what could be and this
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: is this is you know, the pen ultimate Yeah, like
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: big bookshelf to like h like, uh, what's the verbiage
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm looking for here. It's like the pen ultimate
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: thing to what will be the finale of the Mandalorian.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe I need to go back and rewatch rewatch
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: his episodes. But I remember like Embo, like of the
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: bounty hunter group that they're with, right, being the nicest
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: one or like the most you know, he has like
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: the key thing with his dog. You know. It reminds
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: me a lot of Ember in the relationship in the
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: High Republic. Right, So that I've always really associated him
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: with not being and he was employed. He targeted Clovis, right,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: I'm just like going back through his history and thinking
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: about all the stuff that he did. I'm just crazy.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: It's I guess he did hunt Lando.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see, we'll see maybe maybe things I don't know.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Everyone thought that, like the what the s episode six
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: or seven was gonna give you the entire backstory of
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: job because of something that you'd last said in like.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: An interview, and then and then nothing.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Right, Look, man, when when we speculate, we're disappointed. So
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm getting out of my head. I'm getting
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: out of my head.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, So it'll it'll be very interesting. And of course,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: when anything develops on this story, we will talk about it.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: But that's really all that was it in the news. Uh,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: let's go ahead and jump into the season finale of
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Skeleton Crew.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: All right, y'all, we're gonna hit our first ad break
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: and we will be right back in three two one.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: So my my first question to you, how did you
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: feel about last episode with landing at and how John
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: went about parents and getting a vault and all of
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: that leading into of course, our opening scene. Yeah, to
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: this finale, how'd you feel about all that?
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Like how we got there? Yeah, it was fine. I mean,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: I'm glad they got there. You know, I think that
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I'm glad. I didn't think that we'd see the vault
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: in before the finale, but I'm glad that they did
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: because they made it, like they made everything everything that
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: was going on. You know, it wasn't about the vault anymore.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: It's just about like protecting the planet, Yeah, which which
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: I'm which I'm down with. And you know, I didn't
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: think he's gonna be a good guy to begin with.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: I know a lot of people thought that he was
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: gonna turn turn a leaf, but there's.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Not ano genuinely thought that he was going to. And
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: as as time went on, especially in the last episode,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: I was just like, there's not enough time. I Yeah,
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: I think for me, the big moment for me that
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: I knew that this guy wasn't going to be the
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: man we thought he was going to be is when
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: everyone got high off of the fact that he said
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: the fucking Qui gon lines. Everyone thought, oh, because he's
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: top by the Jedi and like he's like he's doing
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: a good thing. In this moment, but I don't think
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: he was. I think he was giving a bad lesson
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: to a kid who just needs to be told, like
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: it was gonna it's gonna be okay, Like telling him
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: to forget his attachments is literally the problem. And I
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: think that he was never for an what episode does that?
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: I don't even remember what episode that was. I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: so I've been off. I've been off the bandwagon for
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: a while. So I loved it. I loved how bad
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: I was, like, give me no quarter, give me no quarter.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I want him to be a bad guy. I'm over
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Not not that I'm over it, but like I think
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: I think that's like makes Palpatine such an intriguing character
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: and why I think he's my favorite. No even factors
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: that dude is a racist. He hates everybody. He wants
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: power and that's it. And we know that since he
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: was a boy from the moment he tapped into power,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: he knew that that was his thing. So of course John,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: when he doesn't have the Jedi, he has a little
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: bit of power. Of course he's gonna gonna not flex
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: it for for for a kid like that, Come on, man,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: So I think it's in character for him to be
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: to be that, and I'm glad that he's a survivor
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: of Order sixty six. I know people don't like that, but.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: It is very It blurs the line because it's it's
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: the he is a survivor of Order sixty six, but
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: he's not a Jedi, Like, he was never trained in
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: that way. He showed potential all the way to the
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: point where the Jedi were actually going to train him,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: but it was never able to actually happen. Like. I
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: kind of like that in the sense of of being
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: different in the sake of, hey, we know that people
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: have been complaining about this, which is also Stuman, but
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: here's a different spin on it. So I like the
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: experimentation of doing something different with that kind of story.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, And I think it's in line with this
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: with this stuff too. I think when he was when
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: he's talking to the kids about them being spoiled and
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: not appreciating. Of course he's going to be a kid
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: who grew up or and grew up in all those things.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: So I think, you know, and if there's like redeeming
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: qualities there, then yeah, man, do what you gotta do.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think Star Wars Outlaws k Ves's character
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: of any character, really shows that like a man, you
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: can be the most well intentioned person ever, but sometimes
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: the rebellion is going to leave you in the in
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: the vault and you got to like figure it out.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: And I think for most characters that you know, they
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: get dealt like a shy hand, and like they still
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: like try to do better and they find the light
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: in the darkness, which is what the you know, the
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: best line of this episode comes is it is of
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: that of that ilk, right then, yeah, then that's what
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: you do. And John didn't do that, and that sucks
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: for him, but it's a good look at like, hey,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: just because you have the force doesn't always mean you're
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: going to be good. And just because you have the
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: force and decide not to be good, doesn't mean you're
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: always gonna be bilding a red lightsaber around you're going.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: To do and I think that's what I also like,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: we have this lightsaber which has not been confirmed, but
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of talk.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Of it possibly it's perc Yeah, Like if it isn't,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: it's weird.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Do you do you think that it's like Aslan's lightsaber
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: because that's like a top rumor as well.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Oh is that like, like, oh, like who whose it is? Specifically?
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: They're talking about Who's it is specifically? Yeah, I don't
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: think it's anybody specific. I think it's more by representation
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: of the era. I think the episode, I think the series,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: the show itself. I think the show itself does a
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: really good job of like telling us not to get
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: so wrapped up in the myth, right to get not
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: so wrapped up in who Captain Rennon is, because it
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: didn't it didn't matter.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: It didn't matter. Yeah, yeah, for.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: For the story, right, like there's there's there's threads to
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: go to go do another stories. But for the story,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Captain Renn didn't matter. The pirate code didn't matter, unclaims
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: these one right, So like the stuff just doesn't matter.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: So I think it's just more than but the symbols matter.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: The symbols matters. The symbol of the High Republic in
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: John's hand, a space pirate means something as much as
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: like a pirate as a lightsaber during the High Republic
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: being in the hand of Marchion Rowe in the High Republic.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: To me, that's how I feel Watch Whose It Is?
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: It's the fact that he has it and it's that
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: specific lightsaber when it wasn't just about like, oh, let's
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: turn out lightsabers before Guardian protocol, when it was just like, hey,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: this was somebody's lightsaber who was definitely more than likely
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: a good person, a good Jedi, and somehow.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: And now is being used for very sour and very
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: bad purposes.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: So I hope it's not someone established then, you know,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: tell me a story about the lightsaber in some other way?
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Uh I can? I can. I can see there being
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: a like from a certain point of view story out
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: there somewhere in the future, like oh, this is the
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: lightsaber that the pirate Johd took and blah blah blah.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: We learning about that. But it's funny that you bring
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: up Marchian Road because my second time watching it's immediately
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: I see the correlation. I immediately see like, oh man,
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: like just him waving it around and demanding Now again,
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: I know people are gonna want to and I wanted
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: to as well, have this sense of like, oh, he
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: still has like a little bit of heart, because like
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: he could just be ruthless and burder people and like
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: kill Whim's father and kill Ferns.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Other he holds back. He holds back compared to his
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: homies who come in you know, guns blazing later in
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: the episode. So if anything, he's more reserved and probably
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: tries to do you know, he just wants his money.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: That's all he cares about is yea.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: And and you know, this is ultimately another you know,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: life lesson of you know, greed and everything else. But
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: like I want to get down to because because I
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: told you the very beginning of this is that, you know,
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: there was a little qualm that I had. I told
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Katie because Katie shared in our g u a Star
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Wars Alliance chat this tweet that said, uh, I think
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: it was episode like after episode three, like very early
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: on in us watching this series, that said, what if
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: all of the droids in at Atton were the Skeleton crew?
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: And I said, I don't know if I would like it,
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: because ultimately it goes up to story and how they
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: actually pull it off and everything else. And I think
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: if they can pull it off, it's great. But with
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: what we were getting all the way up to episode
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: three or four, I was like, if it just ends
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: up being like, oh, you know, Aton is run by droids.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know how I feel about that. Well, here's
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: the finale. We get to meet who the supervisor is,
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: and it's a giant droid. It's it's it's a it's
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: it's an artificial intelligence. How'd you feel about for one?
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Did you have this inkling that this is how it
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: was gonna end up? Yeah?
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: I mean I thought girl that was always going to
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: be a droid. I thought always going to be Adroyd,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: And a lot of people thought it was gonna be
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Captain Rennin, but like, how could he be Captain Rennon?
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: And why would he let the ship leave if it
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: was Captain Rennin?
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: People said it was Neil's dad. I mean Neil's dad,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: I guess would have been cool. But then I was like, Dad,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: where have you been this whole time trying to save
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: your son? You dead beat?
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Like every I could, I just could see something being
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: really wrong with every pick that of it being like
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: a character that we knew, right, I didn't want it
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: to be like a gatya. So I thought it was
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: cool that it was a droid because this whole thing
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: is about, let's say, I think for John's character too,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: just thinking about it, now, but like Jod, Dude, John,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: I have to go up this planet because it was
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: run by droids. And Jod was always like, oh, don't
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: trust droids, droids are bad blah blah blah blah blah.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: And he must have been he must have been in
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: his side and has been like, oh, there's droid up
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: right now, Dude, I saw my master jack these things
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: up in the Clone Wars like or you know, like
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: he's no fear, he has no fear of droids, but
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: these regular people do. They're that scared of droids until
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: they remember that, oh, yeah, they're just droids and we
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: can just push them over and talk to them and
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: get them out of their things.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: So's it's so cool that it's a droid because there's
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: just so much like commentary on that, you know, trolled
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Buyer the Machine. It's it's just so good. It's so good.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: And then I love my favorite, one of my favorite
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: parts of the episodes that had to pause and be like, oh, snap,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: that's so good and I can't wait to see it,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: like layered on top of each other. Don't take don't
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: take it it, I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do it.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: But when when he stabs it and it just mirrors
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: the Qui gon uh episode one, I was like, yes, yes, guys,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: you got the wrong thing, added that message. This isn't
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: qui gon, This isn't qui gon. Those aren't the lessons.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: This is just a dude who knows lightsaber beat droid
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: every single time. Yeah, and I think deeper than that,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: and something that I want to kind of explore, just
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: kind of like back on my own times, Like I
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: see that, I'm like, yeah, of course a droid can
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: roll roll the entire planet. I G eighty eight and
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: like the old school canon, Uh took over the Death Star,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: like plugged himself into the Death Star and took over
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: the Death Star and he was basically a giant fucking
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: moon blowing up planet. So cool, dude, Star Wars. Star
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Wars is cool when it's weird, So make it weird.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: And I'm here for this. This is and I love
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: how ultimately, you know, we talked about it very briefly,
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: and I even you know, I was teasing Katie because
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: she hadn't seen the movie, like all the way almost
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: to the end, this was Treasure Planet, Like yeah, through
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: and through, UH, And I really dug it, I really did.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: I love this entire series. When it came to the supervisor,
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: I'd even ask Katie because it was it was announced
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: immediately after the penultimate episode that Stephen Fry was the
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: voice over the intercom and voice the supervisor. So I
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: had said, I was like, well, do you think that
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Stephen Fry is the supervisor or is this just like
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: a pre recorded voice and we'll actually see who it
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: is in the in the next episode. She believed that
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: it wasn't really him, that we'll see whoever it is
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: in the last episode. Seeing that it was Destroid, I
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: was like, okay, like everything's kind of laid out there
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: to kind of tell you even before the big reveal.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: So I that was my biggest qualm is like, okay,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: you know, I had reservations towards this being a resolution
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: in the beginning, but ultimately looking through the entire story,
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: looking how fun this series is. It's a very minor qualm,
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: like I can yeah, I look at everything else and
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: I'm like, this is a fantastic.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it has to be And it had to
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: be Adroid. It had to be Adroid, just how the
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: society was run at Akron, I think showed that when
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: it was run by humans, what happened, or like when
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: it was run out of the sentience, what happened. Eventually,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: something broke down to the point where they didn't think
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: that English or like whatever your universal language is, isn't
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: the universal language anymore. Like that's what happens. So it
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: also reminds me I'm not sure if you if you
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: know the episode specifically, but Screechers Reach in Star Wars
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Vision in season two, there is the one with the
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: dark side. You know, Oh, she chooses the dark side
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: to get out of like a shoe situation, which I
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: think is so reminiscent of like this story here. But
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I think when it starts, she starts in like a
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: factory run by droids, where like they're the droid factory
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: to do the thing. So I think that this is
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: just stuff that's been These are stories, and I think
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: people have been wanting to tell in Star Wars in
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: live action for a long time, and I'm glad that
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: we're getting it in so many different ways in a
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: really you know, short eight episode season. And I said
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: after my review that I know that we're upset about
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: the Actlite being eight episodes, that's a different issue. But
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: this felt like a really good eight episode season. I
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: had fun over the last seven weeks.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: And so you know our good friend Travis Snell, he
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: is the godfather of the Gua. He basically gave birth
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: to it. He wanted to know early yesterday. He's like, Hey,
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna be able to watch the episode until
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: my wife is ready to watch it, but just tell me,
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: does it in like a full season or does it
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: end on a cliffhanger? And I told him both, question mark,
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: because this really is like it. It feels completed, that
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: feels like, Okay, this is the end. Close your book.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: It was a really fun story. Yeah, but when you
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: really look at the ending, they left it open, Like yeah.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: There's literally no Star Wars story ever told that is
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: complete without something else to go after, even like the
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Skywalker saga is now has that was a complete end
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: of the saga, Like no, there's always going there's always
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: more stories because these characters just don't vanish.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: So yeah, but like.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: For their story, if you're talking about the story of
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: the kids getting them back home, defeating John, like defeating
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: the villain, everyone is alive at the end that's a story, dude,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: that thing other than what's gonna.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Happen exactly things left open. It doesn't necessarily and they
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: do it in the best way. Uh Like with Jod.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: I actually really like that ending because it shows how
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: good of a person Whim is still ye dude, because
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: so good he They're all escaping, they're wanting to get
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: away from Jod to of course help KB. But even
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: in that last moment, women is yelling out to Jod
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: like hey, and you're not entirely sure if it's like hey,
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: come with us, or like hey, we're gonna stop you
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: type thing, and then like of course, Fern holds him
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: back and then the elevator goes down. I really enjoyed
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: that moment. I thought it was a really nice thought.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: It was definitely him wanting, wanting for him to go.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: I think it's a good marker of all the kids
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: are good markers of like what happens like when you
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: raise your kids, you know, And I think when when
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: you don't raise your kids and they're raised off of
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: like quote unquote fairy tales or you know, nerdy fandom shit,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: like like I am you. You you take certain lessons and
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: you try to take like the best of those lessons,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: and I think it shows that the Jedi. You know,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: while as much as the Acolyte shows the issues, right,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Acolyte definitely highlights the issues. This one shows that, like, hey,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: the core teachings are there, like be a good person,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: help people who are in trouble. That's all he wants
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: to do. That's typically all Jedi wants to do or
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: should want to do. So Yeah, he was a Jedi
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: without even without even being one, without even being a padawan.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: You know, he's he's already better than most JEDIBC. I think,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: definitely better than County Monday, better Jedi already.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: He properly got to hold a lightsaber in this episode.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: He did, he did, he did.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: I'm glad none of the kids used the Force. I'm
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: glad it was just them. I'm really really glad about that.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: I'm glad there was no final you know, Force push
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: schreforce pool. I glad Jod looked so shitty when he
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: was using it. He's so bad.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: He was bad. He felt so awkward. And that was
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: one thing that I told Katie when you finally really
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: got to see him use it. It looked wrong.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: And it felt Yeah, it felt wrong. It felt wrong
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: last episode when he pulled out the lightsaber. That's not
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: a man elegantly chopping and Mike showing off a lightsaber, right,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: that's someone showing off a sword or a viral blade.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: That's not when someone showing off the elegance of a
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: weapon for a simpler time, you know what I mean. Yeah,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: it's so good the way they layered the stuff in there. Man,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: John's such a good character. He might be He's like
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: he's up there for me, man, I think.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: That it's very very fun, you know. With the with
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: the rumor, there is another rumor. I don't know if
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: you've heard it or not, and I don't know how
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: I feel about it, but there is now a rumor
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: stating that Filoni's movie, which will be after Mendalorian Grogu,
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: will feature characters from Skeleton Crew.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if I mean, I think, I mean, I don't
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: know if this is what they're doing. Again, I try
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: and not that I not that I avoid the rumors.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: I'm like covering my ears as you're saying them, but
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: I don't actively go seek them out. Yeah, but for me,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: and so I don't know if this is like a thing.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: I say this because I don't know if this is
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: like a thing that's already going on, but it feels
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: like he's that there. He's setting up pirates, like the
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Republic versus pirates. Yeah, and like that's what we're doing
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: to kind of hold this off until we get like
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: a new big bad villain too.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Too. There's there's a lot of people, of course, you know, uh,
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: it's no secret that Filoni really loves Air the Empire,
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: and there's heavy rumors that the end of the Mandalorian
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: era will be that Air to the Empire type of movie.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: And so people are saying that, like, oh, Jod's gonna
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: be the replacement for the crazy old Jedi in that
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: one book of yeah maybe maybe, I don't know, you know,
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: this whole idea of like, oh, there was somebody who
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: was using the Force and had a lightsaber in this
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: one planet called at Atten, and you know, maybe you
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: know Luke Luke Skywalker goes and seeks him out and
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: stuff like that. I mean, it's it, This is all speculation,
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: and I don't know how I feel about it.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: I got more boring when you brought Luke back in.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: I know, I know, but I don't say that. It's like,
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: don't if people are watching. I love Luke, He's great.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: I'm just after after you saw this, like I'm thinking
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: about I think about how we get this farther away from.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: I feel we always talk about we want to get
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: away from the Skywalker saga.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, go in the public versus Pirates. I want, I want.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: I want a movie New Republic versus Pirates. I want
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: to see the New Republic be competent for once. Man,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: how are these pirates just to go around just blown
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: up planets?
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: Still well in in you know, a little inside baseball
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: for all of our listeners. But Katie and I are
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: looking into reviewing seasons one and two of The Resistance. Yeah,
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: and I've already.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: I need to go back and revisit It's good. Have
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: you seen it.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: I've already seen it, like we've we've watched it before.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: It was already on our schedule and we had to
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: reschedule somethings. So I actually sat down and watched it.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: I loved it. It was a show that was so
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: dogged on, and so I was like, I was like,
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: I don't want to watch it, like everybody says it sucks,
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: And then I sat down and watched it. That's great.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, best Podram, one of the best pot ammer in representations. Yeah,
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: it's that alone. Get you in. You'll come out hating
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: characters that you see in live action. The main character's
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: dad is a dick. He's the the guy in uh
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: and or Yeah, yeah, what.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Is his name?
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I hate him. He's one of, like
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: the one of the worst characters in Star Wars. You'll
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: hate him if you watch that show.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: That If you need a new character to hate what
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: to hate in Star Wars, definitely pick that guy.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: But like even even that, that is that is Pirates,
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: Like it shows how well Pirates are done in Star Wars.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: And watching this, I love the action. It's very simple.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: But like in this episode, specifically the explosion that the
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: chase that happens, like I thought it was all.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Great, good. Yeah. Yeah. The my my wife, my wife
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: when we were watching it, she was she was like, man,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: this feels like a World War Ze. Independence Well, she's
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: she said, World War Z. I was thinking Independence Day.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: That's you know, it's my favorite like alien invasion movie.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: But like that that felt at scale right because so
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: often we put a lot of stock into like the
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: open space shots to the open landing shots and Star Wars,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: which Skeleton Crew has. Maybe we have beautiful, beautiful open
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: shots like that throughout throughout this, but this one did
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: a really good job of putting you in the shoe
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: of the Yeah, and like that's scary. This ship is scary.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: This is Star Wars. Ha ha. These are kids, yes, man,
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: but these are kids controlling giant spaceships. Like we got
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: to remember that. And some people are on the other side, right,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: They're not They're not getting out of this. There are
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: definitely people on at AD and who died that night.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: And I'm sure and you know, and for for for
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: me and you who are who are watching that that
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: thing come down. Everyone's watching that being like, oh yay,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: the Pirates have been defeated. And all I'm thinking is
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: like Starlight Beacon like that had to have been word
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: of like to see star like Beacon fall. And now
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking about all of like those of the the
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: High Republic, may the small still feel big and vice versa.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: So they nailed it, dude, the show is so good.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: You know they're uh. I read a tweet right before
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: we jumped on to this recording here that says from you.
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: Know, a well known scooper out there in the Twitter
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: verse and everything else saying, I'm hearing its likely Skeleton
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: Crew gets renewed for a second season.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: I hope.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: So I think this is going to be very fun
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: if possible, now from what you would have to do,
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: because clearly you know, from what I have heard about
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: season one, this was ready like almost a year and
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: a half ago, like it was already.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and they ANNOUNCEID Star Wars celebration what like twenty
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: twenty three or twenty two, so it's been a while.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: It's been a while, so these kids are older. I
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: think it will very much be a time jump, if
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: at all possible. But but how do you made a face?
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: Tell me, tell me how you're feel an Adrian about
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: a seasons possibility of season two.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: You can't renew this show without renewing The Acolyte. It
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: got less views than The Acolyte did. It costs probably
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: almost amount as much money as it did. No one
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: watched this show other than the people who watched this show,
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: and you saw what the reviews were. Yeah, I mean,
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: it don't renew it less you're gonna renew the Alcolyte.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: If you don't renew it without the renewing the Acolyte,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: then you're doing a disservice to your fans, and I
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: think that they can't they.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: It opens the cans of warm It opens a can
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: of worms.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Because everything you said about no one viewing it everyone,
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: everything you said about the reviews, then it validates the
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: review bombers like it. Just it it just it just don't.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Just don't. Just don't because it was a gleasive story too.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: You don't have to you don't have to get you
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: don't have to go more. I think the act lites
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: different because it's tackling much bigger themes in the thing, right,
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: like Rogue One doesn't need a sequel because there's a movie.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah right, yeah, I totally get that. Uh oh, I
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: think we may have lost Adrian.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: Uh ope, Oh I heard you? Are you? Are you good? Hello?
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: I'm good? Yeah, all right, sorry.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: I think I think lucasfilm, Lucasfilm, Disney. I don't care Disney.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: It's not shut me down with Disney. Don't do it
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: without renewing the Acolyte. If you love your fans, if
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: you truly gave a ship about your fans. You would
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: renew the end if you gave a ship about your
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: fans and you didn't care about viewer numbers, because they
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: both didn't have great numbers and people still love them
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: and are still talking about them.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I agree. I think that it. Like I said,
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: I think it would open a huge cam of worms too.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: You know again, I think there would be a wave
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: of renewed the Acolyte tweets and all of that other stuff.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: So it's gonna be very, very interesting to see how
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: the next week and a half shows you know comes up.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: We're gonna go into our second ad break and we'll
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: be right back.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: I I agree with you, and well in speaking of
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: the kids, you know, I have seen for the past
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: day now since this finale aired, people are claiming and
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: clamoring that this is the best Star Wars show that
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: they have ever seen, and best production within the Mando
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: verse so far. I think this is Although you know,
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: we we make good points about the accolade and how
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: well you know that should have been renewed and everything else,
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: I do think this show doing well is very good
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: for the future of future productions of at least Disney
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: Plus shows.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean that that's that's for sure. I
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: think it shows that, like not all Star Wars has
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: to be galactic battles to matter, but so does The Acolyte.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: I think the Acolyte does that. I think that the
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: difference in between the two is that we could talk
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: about specifically that like there's pacing issues, the season wasn't
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: long enough type things that there's stuff that we can
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: point to that and be improved with the season two.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: Where I think Season one of Skeleton Crew is great
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: because it's great about all the things that are great
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: about Star Wars, and they do it in one season, right,
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: because it focuses on like the little people, the little person,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: the little the the the other stuff. Because before Luke
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: was Luke Skywalker, he was just a dude on tattooine, right,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: So I think that you can do more stuff. I
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: think you should see this, see the Acolyte, see the
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Skeleton Crew and be like, Okay, cool, we have a
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: dope sandbox. We can do stuff. We can do a
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: murder mystery, we can do Treasure Island, or we can
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: do pirates. Give me, they can do heist stuff. What
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: is rogue one other than like a heist movie, you know,
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: like there's there's just so much fun that can be had.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: And I think the directors of this, I think another thing,
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: you know, and I love Filony, you know, he left Flony.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: Get that clear. I'm not on like the Floony Sucks bandwagon.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: And we wouldn't be here without Faloney, right, he's my
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: my George Lucas, he's like it's like for me, it's
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: like Lebron James hate it feels forced just because like
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: he's so good at what he does. But like Lebron,
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: he's better when he has better people around him. And
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: I think the Mando verse is better now now that
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: we have Bryce, Ellis Howard and the Daniels and like
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: all of these great directors who are great at doing
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: the other stuff now here with us in the franchise.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: That makes us better too. So I'm even gonna do
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: like an article of like where you can go find
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: other these these other directors if you haven't heard of
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: them before, because I think they're they they work together
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: in such a way that they definitely got what Star
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: Wars is, and it's about unity, it's about there are
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: more of us and while Filoni is great and while
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: we're all excited for his movie, I'm not gonna lie, man,
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: this was more fun than the Mandalorian for me, more
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: fun than the Mandalorian for me, and I see why
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: it would be that way for a lot of people too.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Yeah. I think that this very much opens
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: a door uh and opens a huge conversation of Hey,
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: do we stick by this whole idea of there being
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: a lightsaber problem. Yes, there was a lightsaber in this show,
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: but it was not used in the way that majority
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: of people would think a lightsaber is used. And so
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: I think that we can steer, like you said, steer
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: away from just the very generic Star Wars galactic lightsaber
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: battle type of things and go right into the other genres,
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: which I will say a little teas into the future
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: of Star Wars Alliances calendar. We do have on our
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: list of things to do this year a conversational piece
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: being the top five movie genres we want to see
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: in Star Wars. Nice though, that's gonna be a topic
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: of discussion very very soon. It's gonna be a very
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: fun one. I know. Katie is a very big movie buff,
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: and so she's really big into talking about anything and
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: everything movies, and so I wanted to put that into
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: a more like Star Wars topic. So that's gonna be
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: a lot of fun.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: Now. Yeah, there's so many cool ways to go with it.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking about like my own favorites you and as
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: like you're saying it so so uh pod racing Fast
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: and Furious style movie, dude.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: I exactly, there's so much out there. I have said
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: this to Katie. I've said this to my wife who
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: like watches stuff just because I watch it. She's not
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: like a huge fan of these things. But it's just
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: like there's so much out there. You know. We look
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: at the book genres, we look at things like The
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: Princess and the Scoundrel, that being a romance novel with
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: a little bit of action in it, and it's just
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: like it works. It totally works. If it could work
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: in this novel, I think it can one work on
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: the big screen or even the small screen. I genuinely
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: believe that vision shows too that like that stuff.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and the vision shows too that you can do
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: it in any mediums. It doesn't have to be live
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: action too. Give me. There were like those two animation
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: shows that like were announced or something like that that
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: there's like two that were greenlit or something.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: There's two in the works or whatever.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so do whatever. I don't care. I'm here
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: for it. I still think that Star Wars animation is
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: still like the best form of way to tell stories
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: in Star Wars. I still I will stand by that
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: forever bad best trilogy in the in the franchise, yes, or.
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: We didn't believe that in the first season, I will.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: I will admit that. But for that second season, I
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: was ready for the third.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: It's almost like if you just give it another season
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: and like let it, like let a story that has
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: a long length know and both those things can exist. Man,
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: we can have one season of this. We don't always
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: need a second season. I think that's another thing that like,
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: I think that this sezon shows we don't need a
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: second season because we know what happens. We know what
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: happens with like people in that we're with the New Republic.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: So the thing is either one or two things are
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: going to happen to them. Most likely at the end
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: of the day. One they're either going to like live long,
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: good lives and be fine, or they're gonna be one
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: of the planets that get like blown up throod on
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: the first order, it's gonna be something like ridiculous like
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: that to make sure that they're not there for the
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: sequel trilogy, right, because that's what they're that's what they
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: always do. So it's good that that was a great story.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: Let's do more. Let's talk more about like what you
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: you and Katie want to do, Like what other stuff
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: can we do like that was cool? Whatever, What other
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: like toy can we go get out of like the
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: toolbox and go play in the sand. And I think
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: that's how I see Star Wars right now, that it's
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: wide open. Man, it's wide open for whatever. We don't
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: need second seasons. We just need more stories, I think.
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, But I think that is it unless you want
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: to add more to the actual topic of the finale itself.
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: No, I just think that's that's really just really good.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: I think if I just push anything more than anything
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: when it comes to the shows, just don't. I think
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: talking about it is purely just the kids show belittles
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: what it actually does. It belittles maybe belittles the show,
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: be littles the creators. I think belittle's that your kids
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: if you think that your kids are the only ones
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: who can like handle this, like you can't get something
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: out of like a kid's show, feels very weird to me.
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: But you know, we had to remember that the line
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: from Fern, I don't remember exactly what is on the
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: top of my ex I haven't gone back and we
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: watched the episode yet, but something to the effect that like,
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: no matter where we went, all the dark places, there
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: were still people who were still people the progammering, you know,
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: there are more of us line the line was there,
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: and then where do those people come from?
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: One of them was a literal sex worker. I think
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: I think about like that conversation that you should be
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: having with your child to like let them know that,
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: like a sex worker is a just a person as
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: much as they are, right I can. Those are like
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: big conversations that I think this show does, because they
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: even do it in the things they throw away lines
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: of like what's a concubine? You think those kids aren't
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: at home asking their parents what a concubine is and
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: are having to explain like what that is? Right, So
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: this is like this this was a Star Wars for
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: everybody and really, it was so good not to have discourse.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: Can we just like take a moment to appreciate whether
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: they watched it or not. The numbers say that they
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: didn't watch it, But if that side of the fandom
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: doesn't function up, we're so good because the future is
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: so bright.
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I will say this, kids did great in that
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: show us so good. I'm excited to see where any
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: and all of these kids move on to, you know,
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: whether that be other Disney productions, whether that be just
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: Hollywood in general. I think that they all did a
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: phenomenal job.
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and shout out the shout out the adults, because
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: the adults treated them like they were were serious looking
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: at like all the behind the scenes stuff that that's
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: coming out, and even like even in the finale itself,
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: we didn't really talk about that too much, but how
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: they flipped the script on him, right, Wendel's dad now
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: becomes the incompetent, you know, one in the clouds, believing
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: everything that he's reading type thing. Right, Fern's mom is
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: the one meekly standing back with Fern up front. I
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: think the only ones who are like really about it
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: were like Kb's parents and Neil's mom Where was Neil's dad?
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: How come Neil's dad wasn't help him, you know, to
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: have a giant he could up in one frame holding Well,
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: maybe he was at home with the kids. He was
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: at home with the kids, right, That's probably where he was.
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: I think that's the most hilarious thing is because out
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: of all of the parents, the one photo that I
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: saw the most as like promotional stuff was Neil's dad,
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: and he's like nowhere in the show, like we don't.
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: See him whatsoever. Yeah, we got thirst trap for no reason.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: But when's mom or Neil's mom is cool? She was,
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: she was about it. She's like the only one that
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: the one I think about when I see all of
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: them is like the one with like Neil's mom like
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: squinting at John who pulled out the lightsaber, like the
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: one who's actually skeptical about all this stuff. She was
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: the first one to grab the things. She's like, I'm
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: gonna grab it and run. And I love her.
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: I love her.
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: The parent parents did great, and also I think Neil specifically,
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: if Star Wars please more aliens, more aliens, Yes, more aliens,
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: please more alien especially if you're going to put it
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: into production.
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: Like this being able to cegi everything still have these
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: kids mocap and and all of that work.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: I think that works phenomenal. I can't wait to see
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: them seeing stuff for this. I want to see how
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: they made borgo and I want to know it was
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: a Takrud skin in that episode. I'm pretty sure it was.
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: But that is it for tonight, Adrian. Please tell our
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: listeners where they can follow you for all of your content.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, primarily now on threads and Instagram. I know everyone's
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: like leaving everything, but like that's where I'm at. That's
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: where I'm at.
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: You're not. You're not rebelling and jumping onto red note.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I mean I'll jump on red Note. It
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: seems fun. I downloaded it. It seems fun. Wile West

  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: So find me on anywhere where you put in Super
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: ninety three and you'll probably find me there, most likely
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: just not Blue Sky. So that's like, it feels like
• 47:29
