Speaker 1: And we are back. So we got some other Star
Wars news to talk about. Here. We got there's.
Speaker 2: Supposedly a rumored Darth i' mall animated show in the works.
Jody Comber and Jesse Plemons are both rumored for Sean
Levy Star Wars project, obviously no specific role, but Jody
Comer is rumored for but she has previously played Ray's
mum and Raise a Skywalker, so I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: I doubt it would be that.
Speaker 2: But we've heard rumors of Ray being in this movie.
Maybe they would just recast. May I'll stop them from
given them.
Speaker 1: And then Jesse Plemons is rumored to be in the
running for the villain.
Speaker 2: So what do you think about some of the Star
Wars stuff going on? Obviously leaving movie sounds like it's casting,
so it sounds like that's up and running, which is
hopefully good. Sounds like somewhe we're gonna get. And then
Darth Malay show. You and I have talked about this before,
where we got Star Celebration coming up soon and may
we'll get some more news but other than visions or
we got that announcement of one of the tales of
a Dark Side or what.
Speaker 3: Is it tells the Empire?
Speaker 1: No, but what's it? Tells the Empire? What was the
what was the one before?
Speaker 3: Then tells the Jedi.
Speaker 1: No, there's a new one now, the.
Speaker 3: New one tails of the Underworld?
Speaker 1: Oh that yeah?
Speaker 4: Is it?
Speaker 1: Okay? Yeah, you're right. Okay.
Speaker 2: So other than that, we've been getting like announcements of
one aus but not a full serious Yeah. What do
you think about some of the Star Wars news here?
Speaker 4: Uh, focusing on mal I think is pretty awesome. I'm
I'm down for that. At what point in time that
takes place, I don't know. I would love it if
we get to see him when he's young and Palpatine
is like sending him out of missions and he's like
lurking the under lower levels of Coroissant, trying to lure Jedi,
like kill Jedi down there, stuff like that. Like there's
so many different ways they could tackle it. They thoroughly,
thoroughly dissected his story when after the fact, after all,
we one killed him during the Clone Wars and he
gets rest and he comes back and we.
Speaker 3: Got to see a lot of that.
Speaker 4: We got to see him taking over Mandalor and just
all that stuff. So that's even up to his death,
Like we got to see so much of all of that.
So I would love it if it was a young
Mall story. I think that's the way to go. I
wouldn't necessarily be opposed to what's going on during I
guess leading up to like Solo Sowar story and seeing
him kind of be like the crime synd to get Boss.
I think that there could be a little bit of
fun with that, But all in all, I definitely just
prefer him to be in training to be a Sith.
Speaker 3: I think there's just so much more juice there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you might have sold me a little bit because
I said this is a gua people, I'm like, oh, great,
to show about the person we know the beginning, the middle,
and the end the beginning. You're right, we don't know,
And I feel like that's what I want. It is
again where just it's tricky because I like the Darth
Maul character a lot, you know, especially what they did
with the matter the fact, like them even more. But
it's almost like what I say, It's like how I
said with Vader and Ahsoka, and now this is just
it starts in a tricky place because I'm just tired
of is there not anybody else we could do a
show on, you know, like does it have to be
Darth Maul? And don't be wrong, it could be well done.
And I think, like you said, that'd be the air
that would interest me the most. Crimson Dawn I don't
have that much because I just feel like it's a
variation of what he was doing with the Mandal War stuff,
right like there could be a little bit and to me,
there was some fun of like, Okay, if you want
to do something a live action a movie, fine you
put them in Crimson Dawn.
Speaker 1: That's what's gonna happen.
Speaker 2: But I know we're not gonna get like a young
prequel Darth Maul movie. So I feel like, yeah, that's
probably the best spot to put him in as a show.
I feel like, to me, this is like a you say, hey,
we're doing one season and that's it. Like I don't
I don't know if there's like a do I want
to be sitting here and being like, oh man, the fourth.
Speaker 1: Season of Darth Maul's coming up? I don't know.
Speaker 2: And again, it just I wish there was different airs.
That's the thing that sucks about the AC Lite not
doing well is I'm sure Disney might look and be like,
oh see, that's why we can't go away from the
characters people don't know, but it's like, no, that's not
the There's lots of reasons for that show, but I
don't think the main reason was that.
Speaker 1: I just think wasn't the greatest show, so people tuned out.
Speaker 2: We saw the numbers where it had a very you know,
like a good enough, like a strong debut, and then
the numbers decline every week. I don't think that's because
the lack of interest. I think there I'd be real
at back a complete lack of interest. I think there's
a lack of interest in some Star Wars stuff right
now because people are untrusting of the brand. But enough
people checked it out for there to be big drops,
and I think that's the thing. So I'm not saying
this is the worst. It makes sense from a business standpoint,
I'd be much more excited this was live action, because
we've already gone a lot of darf Mal in animation.
But again, I'm just in the sense of, you know,
cool darf Air for a bit cool soaka cool darf
Mal and ah soaka. I mean like, just do the
show finish off that story in there and go from there.
But it's just a character We've gone a lot of
and it's a vast universe. You're telling me there's no
other character that we could try to get a s
you know, even if it's something if it was like
High Republic or Night's Over Republic something, that's where I
feel like, Okay, if they go, hey, the live action
thing that was expensive, we don't know if it's gonna work.
Speaker 1: Well, we always hear animation cheap or do a High
Republic show of that.
Speaker 2: And again what I've said many times, it's just adapt
the books, Like just find a book you like and
just adapt that.
Speaker 1: Whatever book, whatever era. I don't care, just adapt a
book unit's for animated.
Speaker 2: But I digress. But yeah, what do you think about
Joey Kumer and justin Plemouth? Do you think with Jody Komer?
Obviously she was in a very small role as Ray's mom.
Would they just are you fine with that? Just be
like whatever, she's gonna play someone else because you know
she's a bigger actress. Now we got a bigger role
for and Sean Leeby he used her in Free Guy,
So obviously there's a relationship there.
Speaker 4: Yes, Uh, what is the time frame for this movie?
Speaker 3: After nine? Maybe five or six?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember it's five or six years. Is remembered
to be playing a Jedi with a was it? Paddaw
On would surprised me because I wasn't here for that
news that was when I was off, but very surprised
that he's playing at Jedi. I did not say that's
so rumored, but if that is a case, did not
think that was happening.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 4: The interesting thing and I think I hope I would
have mentioned this before when we talked about this news.
Was if it's let's say long term, six years after
Rise of Skywalker and you have Ryan Gosling playing a
Jedi with a Padawan, that means that he was a
Force user that was out there and Ray is just like, Okay,
you're just gonna come with me and you're gonna start
training Jedi or he was already someone that existed outside
of the fact as a Jedi, because it just is
she gonna go out and recruit kids like Luke I mean,
and then the one kid in six years turned into
a whole man and is helping train like there's gotta
be some existing Jedi knowledge and Jedi experienced there with
this person.
Speaker 1: You would assume because there's not anybody left.
Speaker 2: But wouldn't you assume at the end the Rise of
Skywalker she would train or help train Finn.
Speaker 4: Yes, but I don't know if Finn's gonna be in
this though.
Speaker 3: That's the thing.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, But I'm just saying, like, that's a grown man, right,
that had the Force. So I think if whether she's
looking for them or there's whispers of hey, there is
a Jedi out there, they're trying to change train people,
and you have this person has the Force. And we
had heard at the time that they were making the
Ray movie that the Sean Leavy movie also had some
like Ray stuff, and then it come out. I think
that was like, oh, it's supposed to be an older Ray.
But now I think because that Ray movie is like
really up in the air if it's gonna happen, I
think they might just go with let's just make it
ray and then that's like a little connection. It's a part,
but then she didn't have to be the full story there.
I think it is a lot of like I guess
it's five six years because I guess you just, yeah, you.
Speaker 1: Have to meet them, train them, and then okay, he's
also training someone.
Speaker 2: But at the same time, if they have like I'm
not gonna say abundance, but you also got broom kit
out there, right, Like if they're finding a bunch of
forest people, Ray can't eventually train them all, right, So
I'd assume like Finn, which i'd hope if they do
that storyline where this is like someone that Ryan Glasson
trained with Ray or something like that, I'd hope that
Finn gets like a name drop even if he's out there.
Speaker 1: That'd be nice.
Speaker 2: But yeah, like I guess it could happen if they
want people to be out there. I don't know if
I like the version of like he has nothing to
do with Ray and he's just a Jedi, because that
feels kind of odd because that feels like we run
into it the sequels again, it's like well, or like
in the animated stuff, it's like, well, there's this.
Speaker 1: Big war going on, like where were you, buddy?
Speaker 2: Like Ray and company could have used another Jedi out there,
like she put on a lot of pressure.
Speaker 1: She was the only Jedi. Like, imagine there's one more so, I.
Speaker 3: Think too like the idea that there are other.
Speaker 4: Jedi at this time, like, I like it, but yeah,
they have to make sure that they explain it properly.
Speaker 3: But I feel like we could get.
Speaker 4: Maybe a Balen skullshin ha tea kind of stage here
where I guess not really Jedi. They're more like mercenaries,
but you know, Balen Skull went and just took on
his own apprentice during this time period, which is cool
concept in itself. But I'm definitely excited for this and
whatever reason Jody is coming back, if it's to play
Ray's mom and a vision or something like that, I
mean that that that would fit. It's funny because I
feel like they gave in Rise of Skywalker her more
screen time than the dad, and the dad was you know,
Palpatine's son. Funny enough, but yeah, there must be some
reason why they would want to bring her back and
focus on her. If Raising is in the movie and
then they're bringing her back for some reason, is it
to touch upon her heritage or something.
Speaker 3: I don't know. It's just it's peculiar. I don't feel like.
Speaker 4: I don't feel like Rays in a jeopardized position where
she could turn to the dark side or anything like that.
Speaker 3: So I don't want she conquered that.
Speaker 4: You know, if you beat Palpatine, you're not turning to
the dark side.
Speaker 2: You've super saw that and you had naked Kyle Wren.
If you didn't turn excite, then you.
Speaker 3: Know that's true.
Speaker 2: What about Plemings? How do you like him as a villain?
What a type of villain do you like? I learned
this this week that he actually auditioned or at least
was in the running at some point for Kylo Ren
back in the day, So not as first time maybe
talked about Star Wars films.
Speaker 1: I think Driver was the better call there.
Speaker 4: But yes, yeah, I agree him as the villain.
Speaker 3: You know, it's.
Speaker 4: I only see him in my mind in two roles.
One is Battleships and the other one is him as
the cop from Game Night and.
Speaker 1: I'm not breaking bad. It's Jesse.
Speaker 2: He's a scary motherfucker in that shows. Remember him five?
He's like four and five. He's like Waltz, like new
or not Jesse. Sorry, that's Jesse's the other guy.
Speaker 4: He's Oh he was, I can't remember him now look
at him. He was just kind of like.
Speaker 1: On the Trevor right, I think it's. Yeah.
Speaker 2: He starts off as like a kind little kid that
Wolt is like, oh, he could be a good replacement
for dressing, is it Trevor or is it something else?
Speaker 1: Todd Todd?
Speaker 2: Okay, there you go. Yeah, and then he's super evil
on that.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I have to rewatch it.
Speaker 4: It's been so long, but yeah.
Speaker 3: I think I think I think he could do a
good job. I really do.
Speaker 4: And again to their civil war and he was very
freaky and that that was a lot of Yeah, so
I think it's I think it's a good call. I
think it's it'll be really really awesome, And I'd like
to see what he brings to the table. Is he
going to be a you know, like a smuggler. I
don't think he's going to be anything like first order
imperial related.
Speaker 3: I guess first order and all that.
Speaker 4: That's all gone anyway, so it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: So that would leave.
Speaker 1: When they came right back, right they did.
Speaker 3: They can always come back.
Speaker 4: I'm hoping though, for this they keep it to like
smugglers and pirates and and those types of bad guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's been the other thing going Around's supposed to
be a lower budget starts, which I don't think is
a bad thing. I think smaller and contained might be
a good thing, and plus bigger rate of success possibly Jody. Yeah,
it's funny because like there's two minds of me right
where I could just go no one fucking knew who
Jody Comer was really back then, no one's gonna care,
Like the general audience that watched the movie that a're
gonna be like, that's who played Ray's mom, Like they're
not gonna care.
Speaker 1: But then you could count me and be like, well,
isn't that just lazy?
Speaker 2: And there's millions of actresses out there there is, right,
but it's Sean Leavey's movie. They have a pre resist
like working relationship. If he's ridden a role he feels
like Joey's perfect for I think I can, I can
skirt by.
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I guess it just doesn't.
Speaker 2: I don't care that much about rays mom, probably just
because they were just like in a few flashback awkward
scenes that got killed off quickly.
Speaker 1: They didn't play like a huge vital role.
Speaker 2: Other than just some plot device of yeah, your pulp
Tein's you know, granddaughter, great and then with Plemons, I
really hope it is obviously sure it could be dark
said whatever it is. You know, it's funny that he
talked about that, you know, maybe auditioned or was in
the running for Kylo Ren. It does need to be
something like that because to me, and I'm not saying
it has to be a dark said user, just I
think most people agree that the one shining light of
the sequel trilogy was Kylo Ren.
Speaker 1: And I think you need a great villain.
Speaker 2: And that's something though, because I can't remember who's writing
these things, that's something Sean Levy really hasn't done. I
like Free Guy a lot, and I don't hate Taykle
like everyone else does. I like Tayke enough of that,
but that's just a very one note, like Tyke is
in there being a like over the top asshole, right,
And I really like emccorran as.
Speaker 1: God.
Speaker 2: What is the Xavier's sister's name? What was her name
in Deadpool? Cassandra Cassandra Nova. Yeah, I really like their
performance as Cassandra. But the villain's pretty one known, just
like a fun, eccentric villain, right, So that's what I
don't want. I don't want Jesse plat I don't want
to roll where the villain's very meant, but we're getting
a great actor to raise it up. I guess we
could do that because we just talked about that with
Mission Paul before, right, I could have used that. But
to me, Jesse Plemons is like a special actor, like
you know, you get.
Speaker 1: Him if it's something meaty. I don't know what that is. Smuggler, criminal,
dark side user, who knows. I could see him with
the fucking lightsaber. He could get scary, like.
Speaker 2: We meaned about it, but in Civil War, that's a
scary one scene that he has there, right So, But
I think more most importantly what I'm excited about here
is like we're hearing rumors for other casting a starting going.
We already got like leave his director, gossling as the
as the character, the main character, story beats, and the
glossing stuff came from a trades. To me, I feel
like we've had so much where we got a film announce,
a director announce, and that's it. Like all those films
that we talked about, like The Rogue One, Patty Jenkins one,
or The Taikawan, the Ryan Johnson trilogy they never had
actors attached to them, right like, they're always just like
director movie. So I think with the actors being attached,
that's a good sign. Even with rumors that they are
casting and talking to people, that means this movie might
actually happen. So that's what gets me most excited. So
I hope that does happen. We keep on the track,
and hey, again, if we're talking about to me, that's
that's a good roster of people too. You got I
like Sean Leavy's work. I'm not saying he's a great stretcher,
but I like his work. And if you're saying, hey
you got Ryan Gosling, Jesse Plems, Jody Comer, that's three
top stars right there where, it's like, oh, I can't
wait to see that. So yeah, Tyker quitting his own
maybe to play the villain here for his boy Sean.
I wouldn't recommend that, you know, I wouldn't and I've
said this before, I would not recommend the Taika movie either.
I think that's nothing Star Wars needs right now if
they're trying to win people back, you know. So let's
tick our last ad break, talk about some Fantastic four
stuff and we'll be right back.
