But I just want to get your thoughts Kirkling on this on the 15 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,439 show and general on this trailer overall, and you can touch upon like the 16 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:25,280 previous teaser that we got as well. Mm hmm. Yeah. My hype 17 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:32,159 levels for the show are I feel like they're they're pretty, They're higher, 18 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,400 They're higher. After seeing this trailer, for sure, I feel like there 19 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,799 were someone in the middle, like just kind of mediocre. It's a month 20 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:44,560 away now, I think it's is it June fifth, It's like just started 21 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:49,159 just a month away, so something like that June fourth or fifth. So 22 00:01:49,239 --> 00:01:52,799 yeah, I'm I'm getting more excited, especially after seeing a trailer like this. 23 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,560 I think that this trailer was a step up from the first one. 24 00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:00,719 I think maybe I also feel that way because that first Teezer, I think 25 00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:05,680 I just had super super high expectations and then what I saw it wasn't bad. 26 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,639 It just wasn't as crazy and as wild and exciting as maybe I was 27 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:14,000 hoping for it. I still think there is really exciting things in here, 28 00:02:14,039 --> 00:02:15,960 Like the whole idea of you know, a Jedi died last night, there's 29 00:02:16,039 --> 00:02:20,759 someone hunting jedis like fuck yeah, fuck yeah when I hear that, like, 30 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,159 let's let's do it. I love that story. So I thought. 31 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:28,800 I thought some of the action sequences in here were sweet. I like the 32 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,639 the antagonists is looking pretty deadly. So yeah, I think there's lots in 33 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:38,000 here that definitely getting me excited. But I'm nowhere. I'm nowhere near like 34 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,840 ten out of ten hype level. I feel like I'm maybe like, after 35 00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:45,479 seeing this, like seven and a half, seven and a half out of 36 00:02:45,479 --> 00:02:50,240 ten on the hype scale, not super super high. Yeah, I don't 37 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,400 know, that's just I guess that is what it is. I think I 38 00:02:53,439 --> 00:02:55,479 would have been seven out of ten if it weren't for the Tales of the 39 00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:02,159 Empire that also increased my hype slightly. That's fair. My hype is through 40 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:07,159 the roof on this. Oh I cannot wait. I am so ecstatic for 41 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,520 this show. Uh. Just the fact that we're outside of the normal time 42 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,280 period of Star Wars as well, getting the end of the Higher Public is 43 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,280 going to be wonderful to explore that live action and getting a plethora of Jedi. 44 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,960 I've been craving this for so long. We're going to get just that 45 00:03:22,039 --> 00:03:25,919 different style and mind of Jedi as well, which I really really appreciate. 46 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:31,000 I really really like. I think that the the idea of what we've seen 47 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:36,919 Jedi being in the original trilogy, just with Yoda, Obi Wan and Luke, 48 00:03:37,479 --> 00:03:43,560 It's it's it's a fallen and redeemed vibe of Jedi. It's a very 49 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,240 different type. But then when we get the sequel trilogy again, it's it's 50 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:51,599 just a very isolated and and not really coping, but more so like an 51 00:03:51,719 --> 00:03:55,759 enduring type of Jedi mindset. And then you have the prequel trilogy where it's 52 00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:03,599 just episode one, it's it's one type of just kind of I feel like 53 00:04:03,599 --> 00:04:08,280 like a blind type of Jedi. You could say it's just not obliviousness, 54 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,800 but there's just something there because they're not the same Jedi that we're going to 55 00:04:11,879 --> 00:04:15,360 see in this show. They're so they're disconnected by like one hundred years of 56 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,240 time, and there's just something that is different here. And then these are 57 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:23,879 the same Jedi that I've turned into Generals of the Galactic Republic, the Mighty 58 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,839 Army of the Glac Republic. It's just such a transition. So to see 59 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,279 these characters and just to get them talking a little bit, and this trailer 60 00:04:30,399 --> 00:04:33,600 really got me excited just to expand upon that and getting to see a little 61 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:38,279 bit more of the storyline that's going to unfold here. Because Travis reminded me 62 00:04:38,399 --> 00:04:43,920 that we're gonna be dealing with this this actress who's playing two characters there twins. 63 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,439 One is a dark Side user and one is this light Side Jedi formerly 64 00:04:48,519 --> 00:04:54,199 Jedi character. So it'll be interesting to see how that's gonna unfold and exactly 65 00:04:54,319 --> 00:04:57,839 how and what we're gonna have connected here in regards to the Sith, if 66 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,399 we're going to see plague us, because that was my question to try and 67 00:05:00,439 --> 00:05:02,519 Travis is saying, I'm kind of speaking on behalf of him here. He's 68 00:05:02,519 --> 00:05:04,879 saying, well, maybe this was like a follow apprentice of play a guest 69 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,399 or something like that, and then that's what she's branched off on her own 70 00:05:09,399 --> 00:05:11,800 and trying to bring her sister into the fold now and to join her. 71 00:05:11,959 --> 00:05:15,279 There's a lot of different potential storylines here that really get me excited. But 72 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,040 at its core, this trailer emped me up so so far up into the 73 00:05:19,079 --> 00:05:27,279 sky and the villains reveal gave me mouth of sourn vibes very nol. Like 74 00:05:27,959 --> 00:05:30,000 the helmet, just it's not a helmet that I like. I don't. 75 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,199 I wouldn't cosplay as it. I don't think I would ever want to like 76 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,319 dress up as this character. But just like seeing it from a distance. 77 00:05:36,399 --> 00:05:40,360 I fucking love it. I love the design, I love the look look 78 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,879 at the character. It looks terrifying. So I cannot wait and I can't 79 00:05:43,879 --> 00:05:46,199 wait to see how this is going to expand the story a little bit. 80 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:53,160 So yeah, absolutely, I see you bought, bought, brought the trailer. 81 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,360 Oh I brought it with me. You beat me to it? Oh 82 00:05:56,439 --> 00:06:00,959 yeah, A nice try. Maybe next year. Oh so we're gonna coast 83 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,639 the trailer and coast through with us right now if you want. We're at 84 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:10,360 the good old zero colon zero one. That's the audio for you. Oh 85 00:06:10,399 --> 00:06:14,879 yoh is good. That's the first scene where we see her actually use the 86 00:06:14,959 --> 00:06:17,680 force, because we saw her in the first first Rice teaser, but here 87 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,600 she's using it. So it's such a sweet sequence too. M hm. 88 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:28,800 Grabs your little knighte like it leaves out book a Boba Fett leaves out obi 89 00:06:28,879 --> 00:06:33,240 Wan. Yeah, it does. Interesting. It'ska and Or and just the 90 00:06:33,319 --> 00:06:38,959 men hop off shows. Yeah, this is cool because again this is this 91 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,839 is Jedi temple. Looks very it looks very different kind of too from what 92 00:06:42,879 --> 00:06:46,600 we've seen. Different era for sure. Hey m hm, Just like the 93 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:51,720 overall infrastructure of just the surrounding buildings and everything. It just seems like it's 94 00:06:51,759 --> 00:06:55,319 it's funny. It doesn't seem like old timey, but like it kind of 95 00:06:55,319 --> 00:06:59,519 does in comparison to just like the prequel era. I guess of like highlating 96 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,759 it, but yeah, always great to see. Its great. Yeah, 97 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:18,399 the Jedi Jedi beauty scenery that was my questionable character is a lie. Oh 98 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:30,800 beautiful. She is your I'm really excited for some of this fight choreography. 99 00:07:30,959 --> 00:07:34,040 She just like doing these agile flips and stuff. I'm hoping for some badass 100 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:39,439 sequences. Yeah, and that's a beautiful shot you just paused on, just 101 00:07:39,519 --> 00:07:46,720 the destroyed lightsabers sticking around. That's gorgeous. So the story that they're kind 102 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,360 of exploring here, yeah, right there, she was my student. So 103 00:07:49,839 --> 00:07:56,560 the idea here you have this Jedi master who's feeling compromised obviously, and they're 104 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,399 going to go and try and find their former apprentice. This is such an 105 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:05,639 entice storyline. Oh yeah, It's kind of like if if the whole Republic 106 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,680 didn't fall and Anakin had turned to the dark side down the last and Obi 107 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,160 Wan still was with the Republic and still is with the Jedi, and the 108 00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:15,800 Jedi were alive and he ventured out to go and figure out like bring Anakin 109 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:20,399 back. But this is obviously just a different storyline. In comparison to that, 110 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,399 the Mastered Apprentice dynamic is such a rich one that's so oh yeah, 111 00:08:24,639 --> 00:08:28,439 wonderful to explore. Oh yeah, nothing, nothing beats too, that's for 112 00:08:28,519 --> 00:08:31,559 sure. I'm gonna I'm gonna make my prediction right now. I want to 113 00:08:31,559 --> 00:08:35,639 say, this guy gets fucking killed this this season. I don't think he's 114 00:08:35,639 --> 00:08:41,799 making it out. Uh yeah, I don't know necessarily by her, but 115 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,000 I'm gonna say zero percent chance he makes it through. That's my early predict 116 00:08:46,159 --> 00:08:50,279 hero chance, I'll go, I'll go, there's a twenty five percent chance 117 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:56,799 he uh he lives, Okay, so pretty high chance he dies as well. 118 00:08:56,799 --> 00:09:00,399 For you, I think so, I think you can get the similar 119 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,039 situation to Qui Gon and Obi Wan. I think you have just the the 120 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:07,559 dynamic there where Qui Gon dies and Obi Wan just continues and moves up in 121 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,120 the Jedi ranks. And here you're gonna have he dies and she's just like 122 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,279 fuck the Jedi and just falls to the dark side. It's the opposite effect 123 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,960 up in obi Wan. He also gets chopped in half though, yeah by 124 00:09:20,159 --> 00:09:26,080 student. I trained her. Let me be the one to bring out ad 125 00:09:28,399 --> 00:09:33,600 lots of good fight stuff. That was a full ship design. Yeah, 126 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,639 I don't know if I've seen one like that before in the Star Wars universe. 127 00:09:37,399 --> 00:09:39,679 No, we're just breaks in half like that. I've never seen it 128 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:45,240 before. Well, actually, like we've seen the like the little attachments that 129 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,639 I remember. It happens. I think in episode two perhaps where obi Wan 130 00:09:50,759 --> 00:09:56,039 is like going to check out the comino ins and yeah, could be something 131 00:09:56,039 --> 00:10:00,480 similar note fair Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a fair point. Actually 132 00:10:01,519 --> 00:10:07,759 knew what it was right away. Yeah, a larger plant. Oh, 133 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:13,679 I don't Yeah, to tip the scales is that? I mean the way 134 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:22,840 the helmet looks and everything's lined. Yeah, I feel like this is absolutely 135 00:10:22,159 --> 00:10:28,039 uh the bad guy would see at the end of the trailer. Oh yeah, 136 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:33,519 the fucking mouth mouth. Unless you think it's someone different, I have 137 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,320 no idea. No, I don't know. The looks like some horns up 138 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:45,240 there. Could be as a brock perhaps, but yeah, exactly, it's 139 00:10:45,279 --> 00:10:48,720 probably who you said the chap at the end. Okay, June fourth, 140 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:54,080 it's time. I like the little crystal she had on her neck. I 141 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,519 didn't see it. Was it a kind of crystal or was it a vial? 142 00:11:00,879 --> 00:11:03,000 It looks like a violet. It's like the ooze from Ninja Turtles. 143 00:11:05,519 --> 00:11:11,360 But I mean, who knows what is in there? Really, no one 144 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:16,279 is saying not even true. Destiny is not decided for you by an anonymous 145 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:33,919 force. If you want to pull the thread can change everything. Like that's 146 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:39,279 fucking terrifying those two. Yeah, just like the I would love it if 147 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,919 we got like everything is all quiet and it's it's the dark scene here and 148 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:48,720 yeah, it's just the fucking eerie. Oh what is it? What is 149 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,240 it? The insidious violin? Like yeah, which they kind of have it 150 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,639 a little bit here. He's just Yeah, I was gonna emphasize the music 151 00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:01,360 here. It totally is is like a sinister type just like disturbing, high 152 00:12:01,399 --> 00:12:09,519 pitched something. Mm hmm. That really is looks like the zipper just fell 153 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:15,480 off of his face, like he can't zip his mouth closed. Yeah, 154 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:22,120 he lost he lost the zipper time even just like the fucking pun shot like 155 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:30,000 Jay that's terrifying from the Smile movie. Yeah, honestly looks like it's it's 156 00:12:30,039 --> 00:12:31,399 cool. This is a good shot that you froze on because you can see 157 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,960 distinct lines kind of going down the sides, and then obviously you see where 158 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:41,200 the visor is where this character can look through. Yeah, it's it's every 159 00:12:41,279 --> 00:12:46,559 All these characters have their helmets, Kylo Wren, Darth Vader, all these 160 00:12:46,639 --> 00:12:52,559 characters, even says Acolytes from the the Old Republic online games. Just it's 161 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,720 it's a very thing, reven To and Malick, all these characters. So 162 00:12:54,919 --> 00:13:00,279 this is no different, but this it's unique how they make them so to 163 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:05,840 marry to customary, customized to these characters, and just terrifying, very terrifying. 164 00:13:07,759 --> 00:13:11,120 Yeah, I'm convinced this is the the chap that we saw earlier, 165 00:13:11,159 --> 00:13:20,960 the silhouette, just just from this comparison. Mm hmm. What what saberstance 166 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:26,639 was that? Can you recognize it? The saberstance? Your saberstances, the 167 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:31,559 fucking hate Jedi stances. I don't know my stances. A bad guy's stance, 168 00:13:31,759 --> 00:13:37,759 I do not know. I know the Obie one one where he does 169 00:13:37,799 --> 00:13:41,399 like his his fingers like, yes, I know, the Douku the Douku 170 00:13:41,879 --> 00:13:48,840 blade style it's like curve slightly mm hmmm. So what what what do you 171 00:13:48,879 --> 00:13:54,840 think going through there one last time? Yeah, I think it's uh, 172 00:13:54,919 --> 00:14:01,000 I think it's a good trailer. I think it actually having like another Kylo 173 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:05,960 Ren like just mask type character to have on there is super exciting. I 174 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,600 feel like there's it's one thing to have a terrifying design on a character which 175 00:14:09,879 --> 00:14:13,440 we have already here, but also just I think it's so much scarier also 176 00:14:13,519 --> 00:14:18,799 just not knowing like who is behind the mask and like not knowing their voice 177 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:24,240 or anything. Like, it's just it's it feels more sinister than the knowing 178 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:28,200 of like an Anakin behind the Darth Vader mask for example, in my opinion. 179 00:14:28,279 --> 00:14:33,519 So I am excited to see kind of what I guess what that identity 180 00:14:33,519 --> 00:14:39,279 of that character is or maybe so just a little bit more backstory on it. 181 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,080 And yeah, just even like our our main Accolyte type character like that 182 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,879 assassin check, Like, I'm excited to just visit some of that and I'm 183 00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:54,279 hoping that they really do a good job at really putting emphasis on the master 184 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:58,919 apprentice aspect, like amongst our our Jedi character that's trying to find this Indivi 185 00:15:00,279 --> 00:15:05,240 that's hunting down Jedi, Like I want to feel some like some heart strings 186 00:15:05,279 --> 00:15:09,960 being pulled when they interact, Like I feel like there is something super special 187 00:15:09,039 --> 00:15:13,559 about like that bond that like an apprentice and a master would have, and 188 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:18,320 I think that if they aren't able to really show that or emphasize that, 189 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,559 I think I'm going to be seeing the show a lot lesser. So yeah, 190 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,759 I hope they pull through with that. But no, I thought this 191 00:15:22,919 --> 00:15:28,120 was really really good and great score with it. All of the action looked 192 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,759 really good, all the light tabers and everything. So yeah, I'm really 193 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,720 looking forward to this now. I think I just went up half a point 194 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:41,639 actually on my hypescale with I love that. Ah, yeah, I can 195 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,720 agree more. Again, like I said earlier, this show is definitely just 196 00:15:43,799 --> 00:15:46,720 top tier for me. I cannot wait, very very stoked for it, 197 00:15:46,799 --> 00:15:54,320 and I think that everything that they're doing here hopefully is just slopped properly when 198 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,519 the show comes out and that they don't fumble it. I think the start, 199 00:15:56,759 --> 00:15:58,679 the start of the show's could be really really strong, but it's always 200 00:15:58,679 --> 00:16:03,320 the final and the ending that kind of makes me worry. So hopefully my 201 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:08,519 worries will not be of any concern one this releases and it's it's shocking that 202 00:16:08,519 --> 00:16:12,879 we're finally here, the show is here, because I remember at that what 203 00:16:14,039 --> 00:16:17,960 was it the Disney's Investors meeting, investors call, Is that what it was, 204 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,240 and they were unveiling all these new Star Wars things and a lot of 205 00:16:21,279 --> 00:16:25,320 it didn't come true, but this one, yeah, that's true. That 206 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,080 was like the one title too that really like stood out of like something that 207 00:16:29,159 --> 00:16:30,879 just feels so different than what they've done in the past. And it's it's 208 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,679 nice that we're we're getting close to the end here, we're actually possibly going 209 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:40,519 to be seeing it, so yeah, it's wonderful. But yeah, so 210 00:16:40,759 --> 00:16:44,039 I guess that that wraps it up. So thank you for tuning in, 211 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:48,440 ladies and gentlemen.
