• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Star Wars. I'm your host as always Katie, and technology
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: apparently hates my ever loving guts. Today, I had problems
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: with my work laptop and then I got everything set up.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Logging off from work, I was like, okay, I'm gonna
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: take five minutes set up stream yards, set up all
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: my links and stuff like. I got kicked out of Twitter,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: so I can't access Twitter on my laptop. So I
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: was like googling everything and everything, and then my laptop
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: decided to die as I logged into the streamyard. Well
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: it didn't die, it didn't connect my mic and headphones.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: So yeah, that's my story. That's why we're late. That's
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: why we're ten minutes late. I promise I was here
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: on time. Clay was here on time. I was here, Hi, Clay,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: how are you doing today?
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: I am doing pretty good? And I just posted our
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: first live story on Instagram for those who are interested,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: We do have Instagram again. Star Wars Alliance. Of course,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: no A in War's very important, don't forget it. And
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: I just came up with this little thing that I
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: feel like I'm probably gonna do every single time we
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: go live. And I did make sure to put the
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: little YouTube signage there so that way people aren't confused.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: And when we're like, okay, you're live, why aren't you
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: live on Instagram? So we're still good on be just
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: be live here on YouTube, but we're here, we're going
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: to be talking about speaking of let me grab everything
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: from the Twitter chat.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Yes, hey, guys, I made a little banner if you're
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: here on YouTube. Now we have a banner that will
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: properly use. We're trying to get better at social media, guys.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Clay and I basically twitter died. It went off the
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: deep end, and Clay and I were like, well, fuck this,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: We're done with social media. And we basically like scroll
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: and that's about it.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like we like the only thing. The only time
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: I ever used the Star Wars Alliance Twitter account is
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: when I accidentally click on their notifications to try and
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: reply to something in our Star Wars chat and I
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: reply as the podcast page. That's the only time I
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: really use it nowadays. No, but we do have very
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: very little news. There's not much of anything out there
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: in the ethos right now. But yeah, we're gonna be
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: talking one, two, three subjects, maybe even a fourth because
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: I think the last thing that Travis posted is a
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: little silly and I but I guess there is a
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: small conversation that could be had with that. But let's
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: go ahead and jump into it. The very first thing
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: that we are gonna be talking about is an updated
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: cast member list for the Lego Star Wars Rebuild the Galaxy.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Pieces of the Past. That is a mouthful of a title.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: By the way, of course, is a four part special
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: releasing on September nineteenth on Disney Plus. There is a
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: huge cast list here. I think there is some that
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: we can talk about. I'm not gonna talk about everybody
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: because I think, well, I think one of the best
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: things about the Lego Star Wars, especially the first Rebuild
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: the Galaxy, was a lot of the surprises that just
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: came out of nowhere that made it really, really fun.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: So we're not going to talk about everybody. I'm just
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: gonna go ahead and talk about the highlights and some
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: of the returning cast. Of course, if you saw the trailer,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: you know that.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Allan Actually, I actually didn't watch the trailer.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, Katie, there's a there is a controversial piece of
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: cannon it up.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: You want to see at least one of the trailers. So, okay,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: this is Lego Star Wars, Rey Bill, the Gallexy Pieces
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: of the Past.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: The most recent trailer had something that a lot of
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: people were very excited to see but also uh, kind
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: of angry to see at the same time. And I
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: would I would like to hear your input on this.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Okay, So I'm starting it. I'm gonna turn my volume
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: a little bit down, but still there so I can
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: hear it. Okay. So I'm at zero out of one
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: fifty five right now. If you guys want to follow
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: along with my reaction, I don't know.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're not gonna put it on screen because we
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: know that we sometimes get taken down if we do
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: that type of thing.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: So some of the returning cast, like I said, Alan
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: tutic As K two s O has been confirmed as
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: well as Jackson is gonna be played by Bench Schwartz.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Jackson has not made a actual Star Wars appearance. I
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: don't even think they've appeared in the Christmas special. They
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: are a comic book character.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is his first appearance. We knew Jackson was coming.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Jackson has been something that was already marketing, like
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: in the marketing and everything else. Ye, but Ben Schwartz
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: is gonna be playing Jackson, so I think.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Okay, So I'm at thirty three seconds because I paused
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: it so I can chime in. Okay, okay, Stolitis is
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: on screen.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Now there there is somebody who shows up on screen
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: that a lot of people, and I wonder if they
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: actually have the voice cast looking at it now, they
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: don't have that character in the voice cast, so the
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: the I don't even know if he actually has a voice.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: I can't remember if he says anything in the trailer.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Every brick Baby, Yoda.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Grow good that.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: True vodka? So I think Death Troopers.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Mm hmmm, per poor goals.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I did see that screenshot.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: I'll give you a hint. The person that I'm gonna
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: be talking about has a lightsaber.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: All right, y'all, we are gonna hit our first ad
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: break and we will be right back in three two one.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: But okay, did I miss who it was?
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: So you probably did, because it's literally a blink and
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: you miss it. Darth Revin is in that trailer.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Oh I have seen that screenshot. Ye, yes, okay, and.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: I even I sent it to Snell and I said, hey,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: we're getting Darth Revin Cannon in Lego Star Wars before
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: we get Kotor remastered. And this is kind of like
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: the same thing that everybody else is saying. They're like,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: I can't believe because because the funny thing is what
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: we talked about on the release of Rebuild the Galaxy, yep,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: was that canotically it's happening like they they talk about
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: everything that's happened in the Star Wars universe. They share
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: every single story of the prequels, the sequels, and the
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: original trilogy. So this is of course a multiversal thing,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: and you can say like, oh, you know, Revin is
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: part of this multiversal bit, but it's still a very tiny,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: whimy multiversal canontical thing. And we get Lego Reven before
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: we get his like official remaster debut.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's super interesting and it makes me feel like,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: okay that the core toor adaptation video Gamer otherwise is
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: kind of dead, and this is like a Darth jar
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Jar now basically.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: I see I would see. I feel like that's a
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: very controversial take because there is still the well, there's
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: still those people that hold on to the hope and
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: like grasp every straw of every single developer that has
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: an interview lately. That's like, oh, but still we're still
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: working on it. We're still I can't say much about it,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: but it's still in progress.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: And it's like, like I want to hold hope, but like,
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: we haven't heard anything from any video game, and I
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: wonder if it's.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Because of the lack of quote unquote success from Outlaws.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: We know that Outlaws had a very large backlash, the
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: sales didn't do very well.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Right, But at the same time, you also know that
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: you have the Kotor fan base. It's going to go
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: buy this game.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, one, you do. But that's not the suits.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: The suits don't get to make that decision. The suits believe,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: oh well, if they stop buying one Star Wars product,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: they will stop buying all Star Wars products, which is
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: a very silly way of thinking, and which is exactly
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: why we get. You know, we have the lack of
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: content coming our way via streaming because the suits had said,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: oh well, if they dislike Acolyte, then everything after will
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: be disliked.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: And it is one year since has been canceled. Guys
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: still real acknowledgments.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: It's it's sad. But some more of the cast we
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: are getting sand witwere is going to be returning as
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Mall as well as uh one. I will go ahead
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: in and kind of spoil, but they were of course
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: already uh a thing last UH season or in the
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: last special. Amed Best returns as Darth Jarge.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: So and yeah, you have basically everybody from the cast
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: of the first season question mark.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and the three that we had known before this
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: was coming out. We knew Billy d Williams for Landorian,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: We knew Ashley Eckstein for Brick Ahsoka. I don't know
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: why she has to be different. I'm interested to see why.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: And then Ben Schwartz as Jackson. Those were the three
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: new people that we knew were coming.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: One that did get already kind of announced already also
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: because it was in the same photo marketing for Ahsoka
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: and the actual poster is Calcestis uh oh. Yes, Cameron
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Monaghan is making his UH voice's return for Calcastus in
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: this movie.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: So I think that is super exciting. Yeah, and I know,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: like I haven't done a lot of playing with those
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: video games. But I think the dude is a phenomenal
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: actor and so keeping him around in Star Wars is
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: super awesome.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: He has had a very fun run as far as
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: his story. His his actual intertwining story with the High
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Republic is very very intriguing and fun. So if you
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: guys haven't played the second game, I highly recommend it.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: They do play a lot with the High Republic there. Yeah,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: so it's gonna be very fun to see him come
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: back for Pieces of the Past. The second piece of
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: news that we had had me just like this post
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: immediately say up out of I didn't know exactly what
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: this is.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: So this is a Star Wars insider story and it
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: is by Adam lands Garcia. It is his second canon
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: short story he did. He did contribute to Return of
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: the Jedi from a certain point of view, but he
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: had posted that he did some research and it included
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: like Path of Deceit I think bloodline, and then a
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: couple like different like Battles of Star Wars, and different
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: like nonfiction book nonfiction Star Wars books. And so this
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: is the snippet from his story, and basically, y'all, the
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Path of the Open hand exists during Order sixty six.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Yes, as soon as soon as soon as I read
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: the phrase a gift freely given, my eyes went wide.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, snap, hold on, hold on a second, guys,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: the implications of this is wild.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Now I'm glad that they saved this until everything has
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: kind of come out for the Higher Republic. Obviously we've
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: still got Higher Republic adventured to Volume four, Volume five,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: and then the Higher Republic Fear of the Jedi, but
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: all of those issues are technically out, so the Higher
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Republic is done.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: So not only that, like, not only are am I
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: happy about all of that? But like I said, the
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: implications of this are really intriguing, really fun. Because if
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: you remember in Return of the Jedi, it was I
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: believe it was from a certain point of view, Return
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: of the Jedi, there was a story with death. I
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: believe it was in Coruson. I believe what what what? Where?
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Where was he I don't know if he was in Coraucon, Yes,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: he was in Okay.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: It was Adam Lance's. That was Adam Lance's story, was
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: the Dutch story.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: It was Okay, Okay, So you have that. So again
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: you you have these pieces of the past literally that
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: we're playing within you know, the quote unquote current not
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: really timeline of things, right, yea, So they are they
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: are proving to the audience us, the fans of Star
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Wars that because there are yes, certain rules of life
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: in the Star Wars galaxy, but there's also very wonky
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: rules with life and time span like lifespans and all
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: of this other thing.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: So like.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: You have there's the phrase of you can't kill an idea, right,
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: you have to realize what the path was and what
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: it turned into and how that could very easily word
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: of mouth just throughout the entire galaxy. Right. So I
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: think that there being a member of the Path of
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: the Open Hand, now we assume the Path of the
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Open Hand. We assume because that same phrase was also
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: in the Path of the Closed Fist, right, and.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: I think probably the still the same principles remain. I
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: wouldn't imagine we say Path of the Open Hand. I
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: wouldn't imagine they're going by the same title because even
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: though Yoda said, Okay, we're gonna keep Dalma hidden, We're
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: not gonna reveal what happened. I would imagine the higher
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: ups and Corusline knew Okay, Path of the Open Hand,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: path with the closed twist terror is implications basically, So
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: I say Path of the Open Hand. I don't think
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: it is the Path of the Open Hand. I wonder
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: if Adam Lance's story is going to transition them into
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: the syth accolytes that we get in Aftermath and Shadow
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: of the Sith.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Now I could totally see that and the and what
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: I had said prior. You can't kill an idea, right.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: That doesn't mean that this person necessarily needed to swear
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: their life to an organization.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: They could literally still hold the same values and still
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: practice that in private. Yes, this this could very much
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: be a one off thing like this could be the
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: last survivor of the Path of the Open Hand for all.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: I don't well, yes, I guess that's true. To the
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: reference to a mother, not Mother Row or the original mother,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: I can't remember her name Zebyron, I don't so I
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: don't think. I still think there's a cult aspect in
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: the battle.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I guess I didn't. I didn't see that.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: I just saw a mother and I just kept reading.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: But this actually has like a new name. Yeah, Oh,
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: so this is an organization.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: At least it was. Yeah, So yeah, I'm like, dang,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: I wish I made it to my library this weekend
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: so I could go get the magazine from Libby. So
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: I will have to wait until I get my library
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: card to get this one read, because most of these
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: stories don't come out in like a book format like no,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: they are the magazine, the Higher Republic ones. The High
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Republic ones have been the only exception to that rule
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: that I know.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: If people are interested in reading this currently it is
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: from Star Wars Insider, number seventy three.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Number seventy three. I thought it was two twenty three,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: uh or seventy three.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: In the corner it says Stark, it says Star Wars Insider,
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: and then it says Slash seventy three that might be
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: paid some three page that I now that I look
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: at it. If it is to seventy three, I can
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: even double check the most recent.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Star Wars in Oh, I don't think he's on Twitter anymore.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's see here more recent. Most recent issue was
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: two thirty three, and that was published as if we
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: were recording this yesterday, So yeah, it'll be issue two
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: thirty three. Yeah, and this has uh the U and.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Or yeah, it's yeah on the cover.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Now there are multiple covers. I just want to let
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: you Yeah, I think there is a total of three covers.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Back when I was working at Lunar, we actually were
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: working with Titan and they had up to I believe
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: three separate three covers for the Insiders.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Gotcha. Okay, So yeah, if you're interested and you have
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: access to this magazine, go check it out. Because I'm
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: sure Adam we loved Adam's deck Roy, so I'm sure
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: he wrote another good one.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: So I think the last piece of news that we have,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: I have the quote in front of me, but Tony
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: Gilroy has had a quote about the non acting nominations
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: for the Emmys for Genevieve O'Reilly and Diego Luna. In
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: a conversation with gold Derby, Gilroy admitted that it was
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: quote painful to see O'Reilly not getting the recognition for
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: their brilliant performances. Genevieve O'Reilly. Of the twenty four episodes,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: she must be twenty of them. She gives a five
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: year performance that's complicated, nuanced, in breathtaking. It's a lifetime achievement.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: I'm sure when you're looking at the nomination, you think,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: when are you going to get a part like that again?
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: When are you going to get an opportunity like that again?
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: When are you ever going When are you going to
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: ever do that kind of work again, especially if you've
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: been a working actor but always on the margins, always
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: down that list, And here's this incredible opportunity, And really
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: I would trade away a lot of other things to
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: have her there. He also admitted that he was not
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: as concerned about Lunisna, but was upset about it. Nonetheless,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: he said, it really hurts, but I said it before.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: I do think the performances and the work that people
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: did on the show is going to have very long,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: a very long life. I don't think it has an
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: expiration date on it anytime soon. And I think he's right.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Diego Luna has gained some notoriety just with his performance
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: and wrote one with his performance in and Or season
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: one that does it the gate the fact that it
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: sucks that he didn't get a nomination for the Emmys
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: for season two, but that's what the awards do. It
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: gets the actor in front of the suits in this case,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: and so they go, oh, Genevievel Riley, She's never had
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: an Emmy nomination, she's never had Golden globes, Like, do
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: I really want to see her? So we've talked about this.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to share his quote because I did
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: appreciate that he finally said, like, yeah, I don't like
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: this because he's a very well known director and in
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: that's it in the suits type of you the people
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: who run the awards that a director like Tony Yo
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Roy can carry a lot of weight. So him finally
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: saying something is nice to see. It's not gonna change
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: anything now.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, I agree with all of that. I
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: think for one, one thing, if one thing is certain,
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: is that we will see more of these and Or
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: actors now that and Or has completed. It's something that
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: we see with a lot of critically acclaimed shows. Uh,
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: We'll start to see those actors boom for like another
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: two or three years, and then they'll phase out. But
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: even during that time, I think seeing them is gonna
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: be a big joy. Now, the only thing we have
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: left that I said was kind of worthy of news.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Oh quote, Yeah, is a little bit of a conversation here.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of people referencing his quote from a
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: couple months ago, years ago about the like oh if
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: I need another house, you know. But we have a
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: quote from Oscar Isaac saying when when asked if he
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: would ever return to Star Wars again, he says, yeah,
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: I'd be in Star Wars again if there was something
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: good to do with that. So, like even Travis is like, oh,
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: so I guess he's uh, he's changed his tune and
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: everything else. You know. I think conversations have probably been had,
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: and that's why he's at least left it open because
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: he's an actor. If he gets paid what he wants, yeah,
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: he's probably gonna return, you know. So that's what I think.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: What about yourself, I definitely enjoy Oscar Isaac as an actor.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: I think if he wants to return to Star Wars,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: than great. I think actors deserve if they're offered an
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: opportunity and they want to take it, they should be
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: able to take that opportunity and not get judged so harshly,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: like people are making fun of him. Snell made fun
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: of him. So what the studios are gonna pay the man?
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah? So yeah, I agree.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: And he's doing all these interviews for Frankenstein, which is
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: coming up in December, but they're starting to do publicity
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: now because I think it's going to I think it's
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: going in the Tiff. So they're starting to do publicity
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: for it now. So we're probably gonna get several quotes
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: like this over the next couple of months.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, probably. But that is it for our news segment.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: We are down to the main topic. I did change
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: the scene behind us Star Wars. The essential legends, of course,
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: were unleashed too.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: We're gonna go into our second ad break and we'll
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: be right back.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Katie. Yes, we said that we were not super impressed
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: by the first one. I went ahead and uh, I
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: have the Uh well, I checked it in from Libby
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: and I listened to the audiobook and then I was like, wow,
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: I listened to that like three weeks in advance. I
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: need to listen to it again. But it was already,
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: you know, taken from Libby. So I actually purchased the
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: digital book and I read the book, and then mid
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: reading the book, I was just like, oh, let me
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: see if I can get it, you know, on Libby again,
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: and I got it, and so I like zoomed past
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: it this past week.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I listened to it because I had purchased it
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: on Audible a while ago. But I do, of course
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: have my mass market paperback.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say, you have the traditional cover.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the Legends banner video game cover. Ye, polshebang.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: I didn't open the book until today, Like this book
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: has never been opened until today. And it I mean,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: just being realistic upfront, it probably won't ever get opened.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: And that's what I was gonna ask. We we we
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: said we weren't. We said we weren't impressed by the
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: first book because it and this is this is saying
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: it pretty harshly. I know, I'm gonna say this pretty harshly.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: It reaked of script copy paste to.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and do you think this one is a little better?
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: But not much?
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: I I might have to disagree with you. And here's
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: the difference. Here's the difference. Okay, So I have yet
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: to play the second game. During the time of the
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: second game's release, I was not financially stable enough to
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: make a you know, smart purchase with that game. It
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: would have been a very stupid purchase. So I made
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: the right choice and I didn't buy it. Now it
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: is currently right now as we speak, I am staring
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: at the icon on my desktop because I bought a
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: Humble bundle for Star Wars and I bought like fifteen
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Star Wars games for like two books, and it's literally
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: sitting on my computer right now. I will probably have
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: a better time playing the game and getting the experience
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: of the game than I did reading this book.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: I would agree, And maybe we'll do an episode where
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: we do the cut scenes for both books and talk
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: about those compared to the novelization. I know it's not
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: gonna get the full story, but like most of it.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: But like so, I listened to the audiobook for this,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: and I tried to listen to it twice. I got
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: through one and a half times, but I was like,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: oh my gosh, and I got lost at the same
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: exact points. So it wasn't like my brain was zoning out.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: It was literally just and I love Jonathan Davis as
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: a narrator. It did not work for this, for these
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: the series of Star Wars.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: No, it did not. Bill Well, go ahead, go ahead, Sorry.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Sorry, And I think it's it's possibly because I know
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Sam Whitwer's voice, and yes, I know SI like Jonathan
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: Davis is so good, but also like he doesn't reach
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: what Sam Witward does, and we already talked about Okay,
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: maybe for an anniversary edition, could we get Sam Whitward.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: I really, I really want them to do it. If
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: it's not this anniversary, then the after the next five years. Yeah,
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: because what is it, the fifteenth twentieth anniversary? I can't remember. Uh, well,
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: it says the hardcover for this book was twenty ten,
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: so I would assume that the for sun Leash came
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: out in twenty twenty five, twenty twenty six. It was
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: while I was in high school, so both games released
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: during my time. In an hour after high school.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the first the first novelization was two thousand and eight,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: so twenty years is coming up.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'm not gonna cross my fingers for it, because honestly,
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that's gonna save it.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: I think it, I think it could. I think it could,
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: or if anything, if they really want to pour the
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: money into it, they can go for a full like
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: audio drama of it and do it in the capacity.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: I think that would be a little bit more fun
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: because you have a proxy there that can do so
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: many different voices. I think would be really fun if
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: they attempted to get different narrators for that, but this book,
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: it may have been the fact that I didn't know
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: the story going in. But there was also this weird
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: transition into like was it like a dream state or
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: like it was like a it was a clone that
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: was like dreaming but not dreaming, and like all these
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: other things, it wasn't The sequencing wasn't really properly structured
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: for a novel.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Definitely, the sequencing is a huge issue. I do think
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: there have been other cases where the cloning with the
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: dream sequences or memories of past lives has gone better
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: for Star Wars Legends, so I wouldn't judge the cloning
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: duplicate process here. Maybe it passes off better in the
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: video game. I don't know.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: And that was the thing, Like it was very much
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: like as soon as the first trailer hit, like that's
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: how we were introduced to this game. Was Yeah, like
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: it was Star Killer bursting out of a giant vat
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: that you're like, oh, he's a clone because he gets
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: out of the vat that he just fell out of
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: and there's more of him like all of these other things,
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: and then he like fights his way out. That was
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: I believe the very first trailer for the game, so
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: we knew going into this like, oh, this isn't the
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: original star Killer, this is a clone. I wonder what
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: that's gonna do as far as the story goes.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: And I feel like that's a part of the story
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: where it struggled because you kept going back to Star
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Killer clones identity crisis, and it's like, okay, you and
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: I both know that the star Killer died in the
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: first novel, first video game. But then like we get
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: to the final chapter and Code is like, he's the
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: only one who can tell us who the star Killer is.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: But that was see, that was the confusing thing is
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: so he was trying to manipulate the situation into like, oh, well,
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: you know, nobody needs to know you're a clone. They
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: can still think that you're you're just star Killer and
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: you know, you're an invincible badass and that's exactly what
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: the Rebellion needs, you know. But then it got a
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: little wishy washy. And of course it's the idea of
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: like Coda is still very embedded with the Jedi ideals.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: He still wants the Rebellion to be on good graces
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: and all this other stuff. So that's why he's not
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: wanting star Killer to kill Darth Vader. And I know
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: we're just around here, but like, there's not like I always.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: Talk about for almost twenty years, well well.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: Not only that, but I always talk when it comes
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: to the content of these books. I always talk about
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: the meat and potatoes. This book had no meat and potatoes.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: This was a hollow book. And that sucks to say
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: because there was a lot of things I feel like
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: there is potential for with like Juno.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I loved Juno's side of the story. The Moncalamari
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: Dak mission was superb. I love seeing that. I got
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: super confused when Tarkan showed up and I'm like, wait,
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Tarkan's here. Tarkan knew they were coming, but like then
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: it was like a whole employee with Proxy, and I'm like, oh,
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: I love this, Like yeah, I could have used like
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: a just a novelization on her in Proxy, like completing
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: rebels by missions, because I thought that was badass. But
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: then we got to like where star Killer kind of
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: took over the story and it just dropped, like I feel.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: Like they're in the process of doing this forced unleashed
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: initiative with Force unleashed one Force un least two. What
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: they should have done was had because there has been
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: some time in between the first and second video games
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: or novels respectively, right.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: So.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: There should have probably been a story, a standalone novelization
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: of a Juno and Proxy mission.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: But the way we're really doing that at the time,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: which is why you got novelizations versus like hey, I'm
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: gonna take these characters and run with.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: It exactly exactly and so but that is exactly why,
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: like we couldn't have also got it, because it was
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: not until this novel that they decide like, oh, well
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: these parts and this R two unit will actually help
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: you fix Proxy. So like there was a subtle like, hey,
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: this is the reason why we couldn't have a Juno
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: Proxy mission because Proxy is not working at the moment.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: But even like there was a small subplot that like
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: I feel like was kind of rushed to get completed.
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: Was the story of Proxy and his uh internal main
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: program Yeah, his his his main programming, but also his
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: inducer that helps him transform.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: Because then like I think it was Leah that was like, oh, well,
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: maybe it's doing it on purpose, Like there is a reasoning.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you something, I love that aspect of it,
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: but it wasn't exploring enough to get.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: It and it didn't really go anywhere. That was another
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: problem is that like there there was nothing really there
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: for like Juno to like learn a lesson or something
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: out of it. Right, So that was a little you know,
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: frustrating as well. And then, like you said, the downhill
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: of stark Killer is literally every chapter that stark Killer
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: was in literally was the exact same thing was said
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: over and over and over again. I love Juno, but
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: I'm not really star Killer, but I am star Killer.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: I need to find my own way. Oh, I can't
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: go back to the dark side. Rinse repeat, rinse repeat,
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: rinse repeat.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: And we're about to jump into our third ad.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: Y'all.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: We promise, we'll be right back, we promise, and like
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: you got it.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: You gotta go somewhere else with it, like you have
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: to do something. And I understand their their hands are
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: tied with the script of the of the game, Like yeah,
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: but at that point I'm asking the developers, like, is
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: this how it's gonna be when I play the game,
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: because this is gonna be kind of annoying.
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and his most promising chapter was his chapter with
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: Yoda and like the Dark Side Cave because you get
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: like the little snippets of what his character can do
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: more of that kind of thing. But then it's just
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: flat the rest of the way or downhill, like and
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: I hate saying that. You guys know, I am not
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: a negative book reviewer person. I'm going to try to
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: find the positivity and everything. Juno's story is the best
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: part of.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: This, like because there's also like the idea of like, oh,
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: we got to keep secrets with this. Juno can't know
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: that you're alive, but like we're gonna have to force
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: our way into kind of letting her know that you're alive,
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: but we also can't let you know that we're all
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: doing this for the rebellion. And like it just got
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: so convolution in places. Again, I think that this is
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: definitely a story that they could have said, Hey, the
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: best thing we have going for us is the nostalgia.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: And Katie can't hear a single thing that I'm saying.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: I can't hear you. My headphones just died. They've been
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: telling me, you have you need to charge your headphones.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: I'm at seventy ten, Like, what the heck, I'm gonna
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: go find a charging cable so I can plug these in.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: Okay, I yeah, I will. I will still be talking
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: here because I do have a little bit of a ramp.
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: I think the best thing that the publication could have
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: said with this is, hey, maybe nostalgia is the best
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: thing we have going for us, and they should have
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: put Sam in the narrator's chair for this. And it
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: hurts because I think that people see the Force Unleashed
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: almost I'm not gonna say to the tea that they do,
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: but almost in the exact same vein as Kotor video game.
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: Like Star Wars. Video game fans are absolutely insane, and
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: they sometimes see those games as like, oh, this is
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: the definitive Star Wars that I want to see. And
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: that's why so many people have this crazed idea of
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: we need Star Killer in live action. We need Star
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: Killer in live action. And although I would really love
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: to see it, I don't know if current lucasfilm could
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: fill the shoes of what the original Forced Unleashed was
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: supposed to be. You know.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I honestly don't know. So when did Sam?
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: When did Sam start on the Clone Warsh because that
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: could have been the other thing is because Sam was
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: so unknown that they just were like, okay.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: Like, uh's I believe this. I believe Unleashed was before Clones.
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I do know that, so.
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: Because I know he was really popular on a British
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: show called or I think it was actually the americanized
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: version of the British show called Being Human that ran
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: for like I think five or six seasons. Uh, and
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: then he got the Force of New Yeah, so.
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: He was on Star Wars the Clone Warsh twenty eleven
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: to fourteen, so right after after unfortun Leash, and like
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: Delray just now had him do like the mall audio books,
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: So I don't know how much like they would have
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: really had him do at that point. He did a
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: lot of video game stuff. Well.
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: It's really funny because I just recently saw a I
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: think it was either on Instagram reels or on U
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: on TikTok, but he literally got the gig for Forced
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: Unleashed because of a random concept artist coincidentally made the
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: character look just like him. And so like the person
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: who I believe was either a friend of Sam's or
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: his actual agent was sitting in the room and he's like, Oh,
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: that kind of looks like a guy that I know,
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: and that's how he got the job. So like it's
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: all just coincidental for him, which I love because his
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: career has just boomed since then. But I I really
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: wish they could have done him using the voice for this,
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: because I do think like and I think it would
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: have been a little bit weaker on the juno parts,
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: but to at least have him in all of his
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: charismatic emotions with Star Killer.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: And who knows, maybe they will get him back for
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: an anniversary edition. I think with the fact that he's
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: still engrossed in Star Wars, I think that's a complete possibility. Yeah,
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: But like I do think John Davis is an exceptional
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: audiobook narrated I don't want to give him crap for this.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: I do think it's just expectations are set knowing this
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: is a character played by Sam white Ware that you're like, oh,
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: there's gonna be all this emotion in the performance, and
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: there's it's just not because this is an audiobook read
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: so but like his mall audiobook Shadow Hunter, which was
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: released in twenty two, yeah, superb. Like Sam, what We're
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: killed in so we know he can do audiobooks. It's
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: just a matter of I guess if he wants to.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: I do know I would definitely at least pick up
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: an adaptation with his name on it, so I would
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: duplicate purchase random else like not.
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: Only that, like I do think that, Like, uh, for one,
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: you have these new Essential Legends published right with the
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: new cover art and everything else. So that's one thing.
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: But if you were to come out on the twentieth
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: anniversary and literally just have like a TikTok video or
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: an Instagram or whatever with literally just his voice and
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: then like either the like him in the sound booth
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: or like have the Audible or the Penguin Random House
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: audiobook like symbol like just pop up or fade into black. Like.
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: People would get so excited over this. So I think
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: it would be a smart idea.
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: We will see. I mean, they did killer stuff for
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: Revenge of the Sith.
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so who else and hopefully the I will say this,
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: hopefully the very wishy washy are they? Are? They not?
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: Idea of Kotor does not prevent them from making that
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: kind of decision about the Force unleashed?
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, who knows. I don't honestly have anything else to
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: say other than I do think the time span where
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: this takes place, this Wikipedia has Force Unleashed and Force
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: Unleashed two taking place between three BBY and one BBY.
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: I think that probably should have been shifted back three
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: or four years, because it honestly feels like the rebellion
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: didn't get any time to breathe. And we know from
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: canon the rebellion gets time to breathe.
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: Well, not only that, but like it they do, and
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: they don't because like in the middle, like in the
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: very beginning, like Coda is thought to be dead, yeah,
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: because of a dramatic mission, right, and of course in
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: times of war that that just happens. So, like you
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: have this idea that the rebellion is established enough to
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: have an organizational meeting whenever they need one, but they
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: are still always on their toes because they are in
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: the midst of war.
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: So and the fact that Star Killer's death in the
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: first Force Unleashed basically created the rebellions where we're at
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: at the beginning of this novel doesn't really It seems
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: like we've still been going for like four or five years,
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: even though they're still in disarray. Yeah, it still seems
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: like they've been going longer for six months than six months,
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: because that's what everything says online is like, oh yeah,
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: this takes place six months after the Force of Lesion.
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: Wow, Like I think it would have been better, like
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: genuinely if Juno was long dead, if Proxy was you know,
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: just coming back from you know, being asleep for so
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: many years, there being somebody who is like a long
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: lost relative of Juneo that the Clone is now obsessed
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: over because he thinks it's still Juno. Like even something
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: like that, I'm still you know, just poling stuff out
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: of my ass at this point, but like separate it
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: far enough because like even one thing that I was
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: kind of annoyed with with Coda, when talking about, oh,
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: the Rebellion doesn't need to know that you're a clone,
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: he was like, oh, well, like not a lot of
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: people know about you, so it's fine. It's like, well,
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: like they either know about me or they don't. Like,
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: if it's gonna be a big deal, make it a
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: big deal. If it's not gonna be a big deal,
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: don't make it a big deal, you know' That's what
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: it was a little wishy washy with, Yeah.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: There's no commitment, and I feel like, especially in a
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: video game, you need commitment, and so then the novelization
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: should have reflected that. Again, I'm not a video game person,
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: so you can tell me I'm wrong, that's fine, whatever,
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: I don't care.
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think that is it for our review, guys,
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: A little bit into what's going to happen in well,
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: next week we have the I have it up right
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: here where.
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: The Higher Republic Adventures volume fo yes, and then actually
• 52:43
  Speaker 4: a other recording that we're not gonna say unless you're
• 52:47
  Speaker 4: of course, a part of our Patreon.
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: Is also going to be immediately after, but we're not
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: going to be recording that live, guys. So just so
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: everybody is a where we are pushing a lot of
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: Patreon content recently. So if you like Star Wars and
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: you would like to support us and our geek Ultimate
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: Alliance network, go check us out on Patreon.
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: So, and then September fourth, Clay is on vacation, so
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: we are taking the week off, and so we will
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: be dropping our review of Echoes of Fear, the Higher
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: Public Adventures, and the Higher Republic Adventures. Oh gosh, it's
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: Dispatches of the Occlusion zone. Yes, I kept wanting to say,
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: like Outgate dispatches, and I was like, that's not right.
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: Yright, And honestly, guys, I am most likely going to
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: be turning off all of my notifications and just trying
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: to enjoy vacations. So this will be my first time
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: like taking an actual vacation in a very long time,
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: I think, since like I think the last time I
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: actually like traveled for a vacation was twenty nineteen, so
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: before I was even at the GUA, so it's been
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: a while. So with that, guys, thank you so much
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: for being here and supporting us. Of course, you can
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: always follow me at fanboy Clay on any and all
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: social media. I'm mostly gonna be active on Blue Sky, Instagram, TikTok,
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: and threads. TikTok is kind of dwindling, but that's more
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: so because I have now heard that the United States
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: is going to have its own like us only TikTok,
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: and I think that's stupid, so I'm not going to
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: be a part of that at all. But in those accounts,
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: I'm still going strong with reading and getting back into comics.
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: I've read my first Superman comic in a year this morning,
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: and it felt really good. So you can most likely
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: see a lot of my hot takes or not hot
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: takes of certain DC, Marvel and indie comics on those platforms,
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: and I will go ahead and share it because I
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: am currently gonna be dealing with most of the social media.
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: We are back on Instagram and on Blue Sky what
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: and Katie last, but she also has to somewhat manage
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: it because she has all of the like confirmation stuff,
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: dealing with the emails and stuff, so like I have
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: to text her, Katie, I can't get in. Can you

  Speaker 1: a story up yesterday and I still didn't share that.
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: I'm just a slackers.
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: I'm fine, It's totally fine. There are some great people
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: in our Star Wars community that has already started to
