  Speaker 3: and so I might play it this summer.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: I do have a long list.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Of games I need to play. The people over in
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: the GUA chat are talking about the news of Last
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: of Us being turned into now four seasons, and I
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: still haven't played the second game, and that season's gonna
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: start like in a month and a half, so I
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: need to get started on that as well. So I
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: know the replay of Forced Unleash is going to have
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: to wait for a hot minute. But Katie, do we
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: have any.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: News this week?
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: So? Uh, we do have. I would say one piece
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: there was Collider did an interview with Daisy Ridley for
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: her upcoming action movie Cleaner. However, we kind of already
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: talked about what's in it. I love Maggie, she did
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: the interview. She's great. Highly recommend you go check out
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: the interview. We've already talked about the majority of the
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: topics in the interview, so I would say if you
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: want to hear from the source herself, because what we
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: have talked about is a bunch of rumors, then go
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: read the interview. I think she actually had to listen
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: to it too, like she has a podcast version of
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: it too, So highly recommend Maggie. She's great. But the
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: two bits of news that we do have Galaxy's Edge.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: We'll be incorporating some Skywalker Saga characters like in the
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: prequel and original trilogy era because as we all know,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Galaxy's Edge takes place in the sequels trilogy canonically. Like,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: but they have continued to say if you encounter any
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: characters like Luke Skywalker for instance, is going to be
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: appearing as his young character self, he's not involved in
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: the story. Like if you walk around Galaxy's Edge, you
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: have like Kylo Wrinn is interacting, the Stormtroopers are interacting.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: There's a full blowne story involved in Galaxy's Edge. But
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Luke Skywalker, if you see Han Solo, like Mando and
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Grove View have been there, like they're not a part
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: of the story. They're just kind of there for the
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: photo ops. But as part of that, they will be
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: debuting a nude nightly projection show entitled Shadows of Memory,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: a Skywalker Saga, and it's just basically going to replay
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: some the big hits from the Skywalker saga, like here
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: in Memoriam kind of thing.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if you guys have, if anybody has had the
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: great opportunity to go to Disney World, because I will
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: say it's a great opportunity because I am a Disney kid.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: I was raised on Disney through my grandmother, and I
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: was a little kid in a candy store when I
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: went back, like literally right before COVID seeing the light
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: show on the castle. This is basically what it's going
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: to be. Is It's going to be a small light show,
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: probably no fireworks, but the projection is something that they
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: have always done. They do it in Animal Kingdom, they
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: do it at Cinderella's Castle. So of course they're like, hey,
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: what do we want? Because I do believe correct me
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: if I'm wrong. Galaxy's Edge is in the Oh shoot,
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: which park? Is it the Magic Kingdom? No? No, no, not
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: the Magic Kingdom? It is uh, oh.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Shoot, You're asking the wrong person.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: I literally had it right in my head, hold on
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Disney Park's Disney World. Let me see, let me see,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: let me see them see it is Hollywood Studios. I
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: knew it was Hollywood something or something in Hollywood. Yeah,
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: in Hollywood studios. It's gonna be fun. I think it'll
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: be a lot of fun.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know the parks like that. I've been to
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Disney once, but it was the Disney California and I
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: was like twelve years old. Like, my dad is a
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: big seller for a company. I'm not gonna state which company,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: but they basically reward the people who are their highest
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: sellers with a trip every year. So like they're going
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: in a couple of weeks too. I think it's like
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Puerto Rico or something. But so they get to go.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: They participate in all the big spiels in everything, so
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: they've always pretty much gone on this trip. And finally
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: my dad was like because we were all homeschooled at
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: the time, so it worked out because it's always in
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: like February March timeframe, and my dad was like, I'm
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: done going to the beach. I want to be able
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: to go on a trip with my family. So they
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: paid for us all to go to California and go
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: to Disney for five days. That's the only time I've
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: ever been, and that was the first time I had
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: gone to the West Coast because I am born and
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: raised South Carolina, so but that is my only experience.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: I would love to go back one day. My big
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: dream is to build a lightsaber. I really want to
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: build a lightsaber. Matt and I have talked about it,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: and we will probably make a plan because as soon
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: as they turn three, right is when you have to
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: pay for a kid's ticket.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: So we'll probably try and fit in a trip before
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: she turns three, so that way, like.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: Go go.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: During her birthday, so that way you can just rub
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: it in their face she's two, but we already have
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: the ticket. She's three now, and she's still getting in
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: for free.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: Thank you bye.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: That's what I've seen those videos too, where they're like
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: play on the trip for the third birthday, like but
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: go before.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: So we are currently planning a trip to go visit
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: my grandparents in Texas this year. And then I told Abby,
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: the day after we get back, we start saving for
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: Disney World. Yeah, because we plan on taking Amberlyn for
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: her fifth birthday. She's already two, so if we up
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: for three whole years, we'll have all the money plus
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: some for all the nice little goodies and to have
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: some souvenirs for that trip. But yeah, really really excited
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: to because when we did go, it was literally the
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: week before Galaxy's Edge opened.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Oh that sucks.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah it was I was mad. I was mad.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the dream. Okay, we're are adults, but you
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: know what, we can still dream to go to Disney.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: So I see you already having a preview down here.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: What is the last piece of news?
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Yes, so Edge of Balance Volume four is out. Please
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: let please hold well, I pull up my release doc
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: uh from Uteni dot com, who has the tweet that
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: I have. Edge of Balance four is out April twenty second,
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: and this is the lovely cover that we have for
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: the manga by Matzuki Saka key Bara, and it is
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: our two youngering friends on the planet. I can't remember
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: their names for the life of me, so I apologize,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: but I like to see how we've transitioned over the
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: mangas we've had. Oh gosh, I can't even remember the
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: main character's name. This is how much this manga impacted
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Lily Lily. Yes, we had Lily, then we had her
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: pad One, then we had her Master, and now we
• 10:31

• 10:36
  Speaker 2: good transitions over the years remember there is two mangas
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: coming out in April, so Edge Balance Premonition will be
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: out April eighth, and then this Guy is out April twenty.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: Second, so awesome, awesome.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: That's all we have, which is also why I figured
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: we would talk about this bad Boy first, because that
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: was eleven minutes total. So all right, y'all, we're gonna
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: hit our first ad break and we will be right
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: back in three two one.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: I did not think we were going to talk about
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: that book, but we can. I have my copy in
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: amber Lyn's room right now, so for visual reference, look
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: at Katie's screen.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Yes, thank you Disney for sending this to us, because
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: I greatly appreciate. I cried this last night, I to
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Cli because we've had this for what probably three weeks now.
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, about two two and a half weeks, and.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Things have just been chaos, which is why we haven't
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: talked about it yet.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: But uh, this is written by Beth Breevis and illustrated
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: by Sophie Lee, and oh my gosh, the illustrations in
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: this are flat out gorgeous.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: I love the art in this. It's very water color,
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: paste like, very smooth.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: I love the colors on this because you have the
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: uh you're you're on uh the indoor, Yeah, the moon indoor.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: I was like, wait, hold on, yeah, they're on the
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: moon of Indoor. You see all the ewoks. But when
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: it's daytime, like, it's all the bright greens and yellows
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: and browns. It's very soft. And then even like the
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: dark panels like you just showed, it's not harsh. They
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: are still able to make it very vibrant. Uh. It's
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: it's just such a good book. And I love the
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: way that they This is a book that is spoken
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: by narrated by both Leah and Han. And the way
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: the text which yeah, the way that the text is
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: formatted onto these pages. You have you have Han, who
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: is the basic just times New Roman based, and then
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: you have Leah, who is the elegant, like freaking cursive,
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: and and it's just so good. I love the aesthetic
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: of this. I think it was very very clever, and
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: it is a very simple book. It's not heavily complicated.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: There's not big words. This is genuinely, I feel like
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: a bedtime story. This is something that you can sit
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: there and very be very soft spoken. Now granted, and oh,
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: go ahead, go ahead.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: This was said to be like an adaptation of the
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Princess and the Scoundrel kind of thing in the art
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: work is pulled from that, which is why Beth Remis
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: wrote it is because that's her story to pull from.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: But I wouldn't consider it an adaptation like this is Hey,
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: let's talk about love, which I don't think there's a
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: problem with at all whatsoever.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: No, but you know, talking about the sweetness and the
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: softness of this. Katie texted me and she's like, you
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: didn't tell me.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: You were, like, I was gonna cry with this bug.
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: Bahah so sweet and adorable. Oh my god.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, the adorableness for me kind of
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: just like left the window, Like the moment I started
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: reading the book. Now, i've read it to Amberlin since,
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: but the first time I read it, Amberln was bawling
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: her eyes out, screaming at me because she didn't want
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: to go to bed, banging on the door like a
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: crazy person. My man, ma man, And I'm just here
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: as calm as can be, reading every single page acting
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: like nothing is wrong with her, screaming out, bringing my ears.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: It was kind of the worst.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we've we've had, We've had better experiences with the
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: book now, but it is such a great book. So
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: I will say this, if you have young ones, if
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: you have little bitty babies, get it. I would say
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: this is a good book for toddlers all the way
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: up until they're learning to read, uh, four or five,
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: six years old. I think it's a great book because
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: the text in the book is actually a bit larger
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: than normal, and even the size of the book is
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: actually a bigger sized book. When I first opened the package,
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: I was like, why is this book so wide? And
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: then I opened and I was like, oh, that's why.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: So and it matches with their other like kids size books,
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: like I have one of the Young Jedi Adventures books
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: back there, and then the first book Charles and Rosemary
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Soul did together, which was like the young readers like
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: not even middle grade book, and the size all pretty
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: much matches up, like.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: So this is okay.
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: They're pretty identical size wise.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: Okay, So that's convenient.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: I like that.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And it makes because the pages are are like
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: traditional book pages where you feel like a baby could
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: rip them to because like I have, we got given
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: a bunch of like doctor SEUs book with like fragile pages.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: I like showers and stuff, so I have all those
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: put up. But I wouldn't like leave her alone with
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: this book right now. But I felt a little bit
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: better with her like putting her hands on it, because
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: I didn't feel like pages were just gonna rip.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: So good quality, yeah, good quality. I like the paper stock,
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: really really nice book. Now let's hear Katie rip all
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: of our hearts out, so I how much she hated
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: this book.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: We're gonna go into our second ad break and we'll
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: be right back. So I have the mass market book
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: because of my Legends collection, and this book didn't really
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: mean a whole lot to me, so I didn't have
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: it ordered for the Essential Legends collection. So I don't
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: have the cover that is pictured on YouTube or on
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: your podcast feed. So I have the video game cut
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: with the nice little Legends banner above it. Speaking of books,
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: by the way, sorry totally off topic, but I saw
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: somebody who was like, I can't believe Disney made the
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Star Wars books uncannon basically and like ripped all of
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: our hearts out and like just replaced it with Garden
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: this book. George Lucas never said any of these books
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: were Cannon.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: I was gonna say Forced Unleashed, definitely not.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: It was never going.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: To be Cannon. Now, I told Katie, I technically have
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: not finished this book yet. I still have twelve minutes
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: on the audiobook and that was after reading the The
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: last chapter is an hour and one minute long. Why
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: you could have you could have you could have made
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: that like three extra chapters. Come on now. But I
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: have played the game. The only one that I have
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: not played is Forced Unleash too, which I do plan
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: on playing eventually because I own it.
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: That being said, this character known as star Killer aka
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: the Apprentice because he has no name, that is his
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: thing in this book, he is what everybody wishes Luke
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: Skywalker was. I'm gonna go flat out and say it
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: because even in the trailers of this video game, the
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: video game itself, and even this novelization, he does crazy
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: powerful things that no other Jedi in current format, I believe,
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: and I could be mistaken, has ever done with the Force.
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: And so.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: Correction, because I guess technically Visions is a part of
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: the Star Wars genre, of course, not canon. And you
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: know we had somebody turn on a lightsaber that was
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: the size of Godzilla and destroy a freaking star destroyer,
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: So that that makes sense. But Star Killer literally pulls
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: a star Destroyer out of this guy. Yeah, nobody's ever
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: done that before. And I will say this, Katie, when
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: everybody saw that trailer for the game, you had two
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: camps just like you do nowadays. Everybody was like, holy shit,
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: that was so amazing, Oh my god. Yeah, and then
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: you have, of course had the the nerve. Uh what, technically,
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: no one can ever do that because nobody's that powerful
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: in the forests. Like, guys, it's a freaking video game
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: brought up. But yeah, I really enjoyed the game back
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: when I played it. Like I said, the game came
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: out in two thousand and eight. I played it for
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: the Wii, and the only reason why I bought it
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: for the Wii is because if you bought the Deluxe Edition,
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: it came with an actual lightsaber connection for your Wii
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: remote that would turn either you had a blue one
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: and you had a red one, and like, it was.
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: Just really fun.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: And I was like, I'm fifteen years old playing with
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: a lightsaber playing video games.
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: This is amazing. Yeah, it was.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: It was really really fun, and I really really loved it.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: Reading the book, I had that same nostalgic feeling. Now,
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: if I were to compare it to all of the
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: Star Wars books that we have reviewed on this show,
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: it probably would not hit the top ten. It is
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: a basic story, it really is.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: It reads novelization.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Like the.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: Dialogue. The dialogue, Katie, there was lines here in this
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: novel that are ripped straight from the game.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And so I'm looking at Sean Williams stuff. And
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: he wrote the Force Heretic trilogy, which I really enjoyed.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: That's part of the New Jedi Order. Serious. He also
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: wrote the Old Republic Fatal Alliance and the Force and
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Leash to which I have read Fatal Alliance, which I
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: believe you can listen to on our Patreon my review
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: of that. If not, I apologize, but I'm pretty certain
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: that review is on there. So I have liked his
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Star Wars books because Horce Heretic is some of my
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: favorite out of the New Jedi Order. Who am I kidding?
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: The whole New Jedi Order series is like peak Star
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Wars for me. I know that's a hot take, Clay,
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: you wouldn't understand why it's a hot take. But that's
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: a hot take for Star Wars fans.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: Okay, But.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: So I've read some of his stuff and I really
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: enjoyed it. This novelization was released August nineteenth, two thousand
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: and eight. It spent one week as number one on
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: both Publishers Weekly and the New New York Times Hardcover
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Fiction bestsellers list, and slipped to number seven and number
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: nine the following week. It also reached number fifteen on
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: USA Today's Bestsellers List. So it did hit that. Oh
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: we're Star Wars, Oh we're popular. Oh it's a video game,
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: like it has been.
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: An immediately fell down though that's the thing.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Which most people don't stay in the top ten.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, Like it's.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Like it's like if you get good word of mouth, sure,
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: but like Rebecca Yars, for instance, has been on the
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: best sellers list for New York Times for the Fourth
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Wing series for like a year and a half straight.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: That's rare. That doesn't happen most of the time. You
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: get two.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: Desperate to try to get me to read Fourth Wing.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: By the way, people we have we have a little
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: wager going on for outside of this podcast, and it
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: looks like I might be having to read the book.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: But that wasn't why I brought it up. I just
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: know that because like, she sold more books for the
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Onyx Storm release, and she beat the top movie at
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: the box office that week with how much money she
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: made off.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: Honest, that's insane.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is the best selling young adult new adult
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: book in twenty years basically since Harry Potter.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: That's crazy.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: That's why I brought up because I had those numbers
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: in my head from So tell.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: Me other than just like screaming adaptation. You have these
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: characters in this book. You have Star Killer, you have
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: the the staple droid of you know, the android that
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: every story story needs. It's like, hey, we're going to
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: create this this character for everybody to love. So you
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: have Proxy.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: Then you have characters like Juno and of course your
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: your staple characters that are lingering without throughout the story,
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: like Darth Vader. So tell me with with somebody like
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: Vader being somewhat in the limelight of this book, why.
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: Did it not carry this.
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: Star Wars nuance for you?
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: And we're about to jump into our third ad, y'all,
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: we promise we'll be right back, we promise, And this
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: is This is probably my biggest thing is I chose
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: to listen to this book instead of physically read it,
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: even though I have the copy. I've just been super
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: busy and was like, Okay, I'm gonna listen to it,
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: and I put on my planner. I've been trying to
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: use my planner more and I said, okay, Wednesday, Thursday
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: of last week, I was going to do a quick
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: listen to the book and then the rest of the
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: time I was going to break it down chapter by
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: like basically do like eight chapters a day. Basically I
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: never I got through my first listen three hours ago.
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: Here's here's here's the thing. I get you.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: And Star Wars Audible. If you're listening, I'm telling you
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: now you messed up on this Essential Legends collection Audible. Yeah,
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: you have Sam Whittwor right there.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: And I think that's the problem.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: Is this book this is a Thompson story, right, Is
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: this a.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Mark Thompson narrated And I don't I don't blame Thompson
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: at all. I think this was like very early on
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: when he was starting recording for Star Wars, so he
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: didn't quite have the majesty he has with Cannon Books.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: Well, is this is this an old rendition?
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: Yes, so I I'm pretty certain. Let me look because
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: I have audible right here, because I still had it
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: pulled up. Oh no, apparently this came out in November. Yeah,
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: I really thought for some reason, I really thought it
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: had come out with the original release. So yes, you
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: have had Sam Whitwerd do the voice on.
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: There is there.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: That's what made me so mad when I first started
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: listening to this book.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Let me see, unless he just had a really crappy experience.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: But I mean he's narrated shadow Hunter for the Central
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: Legends collection. He has done stories of Jedi and Sith.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: He's done from a certain point of view, Return of
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: the Jedi, from a certain point of view, The Empire
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: strikes back. That's all the Star Wars stuff he's done.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: And blown away. Why you wouldn't get I'm wondering if
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: like schedules didn't work out or something.
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: And maybe it was the money, like I like, we
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: we don't know, but in my mind there is. Guys,
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: there is a SoundBite on social media, on TikTok, on reels,
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: on YouTube shorts. You hear you hear the saying you
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: hear the voice line you agreed to stay away, and then.
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: You hear Darth Vader's voice.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: I lie like there's been so many memes out of that.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: That is the first part is Sam Whitwer's voice. When
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: I heard that same exact line here, I didn't feel it.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: I didn't feel it.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: And so the one I had in my head that
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: was an older rendition is actually the Force Unleash two,
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: which is narrated by Jonathan Davis, and that came out
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: in twenty ten October twenty ten, and it is the
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: houn A Bridge is listed as the Houto Bridge the
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: audio book. So that's the one I had in my head.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: I will tell you this Forced Unleashed Too is being released.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: We technically have it right now.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: We planned because the Essentral Legends collection released on February
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: fourth for the Forest Leach Too.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so uh, we will most likely be h it's
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: it's on our schedule to talk about Forced Unleashed Too.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: I don't know if we will like it more or
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: less than this. I have not played the game, so
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: it's gonna be very different for me actually listening to
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: something that I have zero experience on. This will be
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: like this will legitimately be like reading a Legends book
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: like I've normally done.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think probably before we do The Force
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Unleashed too, I will read, I will reread The Force Unleashed,
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: but I will read the physical copy.
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: I will also hunt down a proper well cut video
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: of all the cut scenes and story for the actual
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: game so you can watch, because that is the proper
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: way to experience the force of.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: I see because I went to look for that and
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: then I was like, no, this is the novelization review
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: we need. I need to go based off of the
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: book and not introduce the game at this point. So
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: I definitely I think now that I know this is
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: like a November twenty twenty four release for audiobook, this
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: is probably one of Mark Thompson's weakest books for Star
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: Wars point blank. And I love Mark Thompson. We talked
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: about him in depth last week. I just had a
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: lot of issues paying attention, and I rewound and rewound
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: and rebound. I think I rebound like probably seven or
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: eight times, which is not good for me because like
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: I typically listen to new reads on one point five speed,
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: like and I get the plotline of the book I
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: had to go through and read the Wikipedia. I said
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: I was going to leave it to the book, but
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: I had to go read the Wikipedia to make sure
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: that I had the plot in my head. Yeah, because
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: I was just like, what did I just read? And
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: like I started this on Wednesday last week and just
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: have struggled to get through it because I just take
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: a listen to it and I'm like, nah, like I had.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: I've typically sit here and crochet, y'all, Like that's what
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: I've been doing the past couple of weeks. But like,
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: I couldn't even crochet listening to this. I had to
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: sit and twiddle my thumbs if I wanted to listen
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: to anything and get it in. So that's on me
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: for not getting in for not making sure that I
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: got a physical read of the book, because I have
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: the book. I just I've been so busy that like
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: I needed the audiobook to work and I can typically
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: work and do all the things. So maybe that's a
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: critique on the production of the book as an audiobook
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: instead of the actual critique of the book. But it
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: definitely the parts where I was getting it it still
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: read well novelization without a whole lot of extra detail. Again,
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: I haven't played the game, so I don't know which
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: details are in the game and which are not well.
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: And that's the thing.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: Also, like you saying that, oh, you know, you felt
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: forced to have to listen to the book rather than
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: read it. People just listen to books like that is
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: there's sometimes they're one and only experience with it. And
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: so I feel like people like, who's the publisher on this, It's.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: The Random House Worlds.
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: Random House Worlds needs to be putting into their production, like, hey,
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: this needs to be top notch. And with this, I
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: just didn't feel it. And I know that we are
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: kind of just talking about our experience with the book.
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: If you have never read this book, think of it
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: this way. It is about a secret apprentice that Vader has,
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: and it is essentially.
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: A Star Wars what if? On what if.
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: Darth Vader had an apprentice and the apprentice created the
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: Rebel alliance. That is essentially what this is, because that's
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: what his mission is. When in the very beginning of
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: the book or near the beginning of the book, star
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: Killer is found by Palpatine and Vader is forced to
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: fake star Killer's death and say, hey, we had to
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: do this because Palpatine wouldn't have let you live, so
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: I had to quote unquote kill you. I brought you
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: back to life. But now we have this mission of
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: gather all of Palpatine's biggest enemies and take him down,
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: and while they're distracted, we will kill the emperor and
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: we will take over the galaxy. Is essentially Vader's plan.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: It gets turned on its head. There's so many other
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: things that happen. I would like for you guys to
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: actually experience it yourself, whether that be in this novelization
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: or in the actual game. I think it is an
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: interesting enough story because we don't have a lot of
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: these what ifs in Star Wars, and this one I
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: genuinely think is fun. But yeah, I just didn't have
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: a lot of fun with this novelization because I wanted
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: to hear Sam Whitward's voice.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that my pain expectation that we had. I
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: knew it wasn't Sam wit Word, though. I was disappointed
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: in that aspect because I feel like he's continuously gone
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: back to this character and then like this was my
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: Star Wars beginning, Like, yes, he's gone on to voice
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: other characters and everything, but this character has always particularly
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: meant a lot to him, so to have him not
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: come back, and I know they've like tried to coordinate
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: schedules before with actors like do voice it to do
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: the voice recordings for these books. So I'm sure that's
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: something along the lines of what happened here. But it
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: might be cool because the twentieth anniversary is in two
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: years for this book, because this was released September sixteenth,
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: two thousand, I.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: Would love for them to do a new edition.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: It might be really cool to do a new audition.
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: Well, just because like Whitber's voice for Star Killer was
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: a little gravelly. He like he just had that like angry,
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: gravelly voice, and Mark Thompson's voice for star Killer in
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: this book was way too soft, And the only time
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: you really had those attempts at a gravelly voice was
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: when he was exerting himself during an action scene.
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: Okay, I understand that, but I'm not really for it,
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: you know. So Yeah, Random House, Star Wars, if you're listening,
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: please we would love to hear Sam wit We're come
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: back as star Killer please.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I'll be interested to see. I will definitely
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: be rereading it physically before we do Force Unleash two
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: because I feel like I from what I got of Juneo,
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: I really enjoyed Juno as a character.
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: She I do like her.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: She has a lot of conflicting emotions throughout this story,
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: but that's what this whole story is about. Everybody has
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: conflicting emotions and I and I think the only one
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: who doesn't is up until the very end, is Proxy
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: because he's a droid and he.
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: Has one mission.
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: I love Proxy because his one mission is to kill
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: star Killer. He's like, yeah, one day, I'm gonna be
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: good enough to kill you, and that's my mission. And
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: it's more so to keep star Killer on his feet,
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: to keep him constantly training.
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: It's really fun.
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: The reason why his name is Proxy is because he
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: can transform. Like with holograms, he can transform into almost anybody.
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: As long as his data files have some sort of
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: memory bake of whoever he's trying to copy, he will
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: have it. And it's really fun because you get to
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: have these moments where some really famous Jedi pop up
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: out of nowhere and it is a lot of fun.
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: But it's it's again, like Katie says, and we don't
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: want to beat a dead Horse. It's just this story
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: is very streamlined and unfortunately kind of flat because it
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: is stuck to the confines of what the game was.
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: I will go ahead and tell you Katie and I again,
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: I don't know how this book ends because twelve minutes left.
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: I'll finish it probably tonight. But the really cool thing
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: about this game is that at one point you get
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: to decide are you going to stay with the Rebel
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: alliance or are you going to stay on the side
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: of dove Vader. So that is what I like, I
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: would love and that's kind of when I when I
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: saw that the last chapter was an hour, I was like,
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: hold up, does it end on chapter thirty seven? And
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: then thirty eight is just like a like, oh, but
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: this is what would have happened if Start Killing decided
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: like I would love more books to do that type of.
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: Thing, but I don't.
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: Uh, So.
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: I don't want to spoil it for you, but I'm
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: going to spoil it for you anyways, because I feel
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: like this is kind of relevant.
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: I know the story, so you can't surprise me.
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess that's true. So it chooses.
• 41:36
  Speaker 5: Uh, the book sticks with the light side aspect of it,
• 41:44
  Speaker 5: and I thought, okay, because I have the Wikipedia pulled
• 41:47
  Speaker 5: up in front of me, so the book sticks with
• 41:49
  Speaker 5: the light side.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: Uh, going to the rebellion part of things the dark side.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: I thought there was something in here that said that
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: the dark side aspect is one of the visions that
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: he has, but I'm missing that. Okay, so never mind.
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So, And another reason why this can never be
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: Cannon is because when you choose to be on the
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: Dark Side in the game, there is an expansion pack
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: that you can purchase where your missions are to kill Luke, Skywalker, Han, Solo, Chewbacca,
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: and Lea.
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: So take that as you.
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: Will, like interesting yea, like it's it's it can't be Cannon.
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: And I know a lot of people want it to
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: be Cannon, and I would love for them to have
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: their cake and eat it too. I think you can
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: make star Killer Cannon. You just can't make him as
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: power full as he.
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: Was correct in his story inquisitors.
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, he he could essentially. That was why
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure we talked about it during the Ahsoka
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: like hype in the trailers, it's like, oh, that's star Killer,
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: He's stark Killer.
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: That's gonna be him, Oh my god. And I think that.
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: In due time we will either get an animated Forced
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: Unleashed or something like It's it's only a matter of time.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: It would be really cool because I know this video
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: game was super popular, and it makes sense, it really does,
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: because this is one of like the first big Star
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: Wars video games, Like I know you had that'll come
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: in later, but I would consider Force Unleashed to be
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: one of the most popular video games for Star Wars.
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, artering its legacy completely makes sense.
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: Mm hmm, yep, I agree, But I think that is it,
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: yes for this show tonight. So guys, I just want
• 44:20
