00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:12.599
<v Speaker 1>The Force will be with you always.

2
00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:24.039
<v Speaker 2>Hello and welcome back to another episode of Star Wars Alliance.

3
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:26.760
<v Speaker 2>Of course I'm your host, Clay and with me like

4
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:30.640
<v Speaker 2>always is Katie. Katie. How are you doing this week?

5
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:35.159
<v Speaker 3>Hi, guys, I'm doing I'm doing okay. My house is

6
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:40.399
<v Speaker 3>on the market. So the hints why we are late today,

7
00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:44.439
<v Speaker 3>uh so, but this should be the latest I think

8
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:50.039
<v Speaker 3>that we end up going. But yeah, things are chaotic.

9
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:56.719
<v Speaker 2>Totally understandable. You know, selling a house is not easy,

10
00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:03.640
<v Speaker 2>so totally understandable. Now, guys, we literally just discussed right

11
00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:07.120
<v Speaker 2>before we went live. There's not hardly any news out there.

12
00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:11.359
<v Speaker 2>There is something that we are going to discuss, which

13
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:16.239
<v Speaker 2>is of course the Disney layoffs. And that's really oh

14
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:21.599
<v Speaker 2>my goodness, I can't talk today. That's really it. As

15
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:27.159
<v Speaker 2>far as news, I joked around apparently Han Solo over

16
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:31.000
<v Speaker 2>at Disney World, and of course Galaxy's Edge is getting

17
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:34.640
<v Speaker 2>a lot of backlash because his wig is not like

18
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:35.560
<v Speaker 2>Harrison Ford's.

19
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:38.079
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and I saw a lot of people were like, well,

20
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:40.719
<v Speaker 3>if you were gonna go completely different than you should

21
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:47.480
<v Speaker 3>have just gone all the Einrich version instead. I don't know.

22
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:53.560
<v Speaker 3>I've never paid I've been to Disney once, Like, I've

23
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:56.799
<v Speaker 3>never paid that much attention to the way the characters

24
00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:57.719
<v Speaker 3>are dressed.

25
00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:01.439
<v Speaker 2>Well, like this is specifically supposed to be a character

26
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:04.680
<v Speaker 2>that is supposed to be interacting with guests and things

27
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:12.439
<v Speaker 2>like that. All. Yes, yes, but I think like, especially

28
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:20.240
<v Speaker 2>with the more human characters specifically, they're trying to get

29
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:24.879
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more to detail on that. Yeah, and

30
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:28.000
<v Speaker 2>I think it's silly. I think it's silly. I was

31
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:31.039
<v Speaker 2>waiting to see if anybody legitimately was going to make

32
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:35.560
<v Speaker 2>a solo joke like, oh, if it's not Harrison Ford,

33
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:39.560
<v Speaker 2>you know. But I'm so I'm glad, I'm did. I'm

34
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:45.719
<v Speaker 2>glad somebody did. I'm really glad. But the layoffs there

35
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:50.439
<v Speaker 2>is over I think some reports said over a thousand

36
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:57.360
<v Speaker 2>employees were laid off. Some of like entire departments were

37
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:05.159
<v Speaker 2>laid off, including the home entertainment. Now this is speculation

38
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:09.360
<v Speaker 2>on my part, which is really scary, but I want

39
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:13.360
<v Speaker 2>to know your opinion. Okay, if they laid off the

40
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:21.159
<v Speaker 2>entire home entertainment department, does that mean that they are

41
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:26.479
<v Speaker 2>getting ready to completely acts home entertainment releases?

42
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:37.520
<v Speaker 3>I mean they've already basically acts them, Like I haven't

43
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:42.639
<v Speaker 3>seen like the they tried. It was probably they tried

44
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:45.800
<v Speaker 3>the Disney Plus shows to see like, oh we were

45
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:49.759
<v Speaker 3>released on DVD, like let's see how people buy them,

46
00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:52.520
<v Speaker 3>and they're probably not going to do that again.

47
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:59.080
<v Speaker 2>I would say, that's really sad. The reason why I

48
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:02.560
<v Speaker 2>say is because I do believe just here recently, I

49
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:08.960
<v Speaker 2>want to say, between twenty twenty four to now, there

50
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:17.480
<v Speaker 2>has been a bigger resurgence of hey, I want to

51
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:23.759
<v Speaker 2>get physical media, right. So, knowing that there is a

52
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:30.399
<v Speaker 2>resurgent for physical media and then Disney up and just

53
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:37.519
<v Speaker 2>completely destroys their internal home entertainment division, that's not cool.

54
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:44.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And I think the main thing is, like people

55
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:48.079
<v Speaker 3>are very used to paying Dagney. Old days, we would

56
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:54.680
<v Speaker 3>pay thirty forty bucks maybe fifty bucks for twenty four

57
00:04:54.680 --> 00:05:01.360
<v Speaker 3>episode season of television on DVD. Now you're telling me

58
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:05.439
<v Speaker 3>that they wanted to charge. I think Book a Boba

59
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:09.120
<v Speaker 3>Fett was like sixty bucks, and I think the Mandalorian

60
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:13.920
<v Speaker 3>seasons were close to seventy bucks for way less TV

61
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:18.680
<v Speaker 3>and like almost no special features.

62
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:20.639
<v Speaker 4>I was putting.

63
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:23.519
<v Speaker 3>I put them on a list basically and was like, okay,

64
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:27.480
<v Speaker 3>i'll see when prices drop. But I didn't even purchase

65
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:31.439
<v Speaker 3>them because I was like, there's nothing here.

66
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:41.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, that again disheartening, you know, I thought, and

67
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:44.600
<v Speaker 2>this is a thought that has long since passed, because

68
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:49.600
<v Speaker 2>of course we have been in the era of streaming

69
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:55.600
<v Speaker 2>for quite some time. But like I as well as

70
00:05:55.639 --> 00:06:00.839
<v Speaker 2>I know many others, always thought that, like, oh well,

71
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:03.639
<v Speaker 2>if you're going to release a movie on something like

72
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:07.279
<v Speaker 2>a Netflix or a Disney Plus or an HBO Max,

73
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:15.000
<v Speaker 2>there's an area in those platforms to put special features,

74
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:18.399
<v Speaker 2>to put behind the scenes, to put all these other things,

75
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:25.319
<v Speaker 2>and they do not do it most of the time.

76
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:31.399
<v Speaker 2>You see those as marketing material. Now, as we have

77
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:34.879
<v Speaker 2>seen with of course Mall Shadow Lord, we've seen a

78
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:39.160
<v Speaker 2>lot of the behind the scenes talks with the animators,

79
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:44.680
<v Speaker 2>with the voice actors and things like that as marketing material.

80
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:51.079
<v Speaker 2>I just always thought that was a fumble for every

81
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:55.360
<v Speaker 2>single streaming company, like, hey, you want more people to

82
00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:59.680
<v Speaker 2>subscribe specifically to your platform, you need to be putting

83
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:03.720
<v Speaker 2>special features on every single product.

84
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:10.439
<v Speaker 3>And I think it's like in the vein of I

85
00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:14.439
<v Speaker 3>feel like it's in the vein of like, oh well,

86
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:17.879
<v Speaker 3>news companies are just going to pick it up and

87
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:24.600
<v Speaker 3>tell what it tell us what was in the special

88
00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:28.839
<v Speaker 3>features anyways, So might as well just provide the whole

89
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:33.920
<v Speaker 3>thing for free and get marketing out of it. Yeah,

90
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:37.759
<v Speaker 3>like I get it to an extent, but like the

91
00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:44.920
<v Speaker 3>director's commentaries were something special. Yeah, it just sucks nowadays,

92
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:49.680
<v Speaker 3>Like that's like they're becoming more and more rare, and

93
00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:56.079
<v Speaker 3>it just sucks because it's definitely a missed opportunity to

94
00:07:56.839 --> 00:08:01.879
<v Speaker 3>really connect with people and connect with fans, because there

95
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:04.879
<v Speaker 3>are those people who are like I need to watch

96
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:11.480
<v Speaker 3>every single director's commentary by James Cameron, like because he's

97
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:16.720
<v Speaker 3>just that glorious of a filmmaker. Or Christopher Nolan would

98
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:17.920
<v Speaker 3>be my pick for instance.

99
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:27.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it sucks, It really really does. And

100
00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:32.799
<v Speaker 2>so of course the home entertainment I've also I have

101
00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:35.159
<v Speaker 2>not confirmed this, but I also heard that there is

102
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:42.639
<v Speaker 2>possible Marvel Comics staff that was also let go. So

103
00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:50.919
<v Speaker 2>I am interested to see how much the affects everything

104
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:52.960
<v Speaker 2>else that we kind of deal with here at Star

105
00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:53.679
<v Speaker 2>Wars Alliance.

106
00:08:57.960 --> 00:08:58.759
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I know.

107
00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:06.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it says film studios, television, network, sports, park experiences,

108
00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:10.279
<v Speaker 3>comic books, franchising, finances, and legal So it looks like

109
00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:13.840
<v Speaker 3>it was across the board and the memo apparently said

110
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:25.279
<v Speaker 3>this is not related to AI. Yeah, Disney says or

111
00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:29.799
<v Speaker 3>the rap excuse me indicated that the Marvel based cuts

112
00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:32.919
<v Speaker 3>could have affected it as much as eight percent of

113
00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:33.679
<v Speaker 3>their employees.

114
00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:40.440
<v Speaker 2>H okay.

115
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:45.559
<v Speaker 3>There were not specific details on how these layoffs affect Lucasfilm.

116
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:50.159
<v Speaker 3>The article doesn't indicate that Marvel, whose comics division produces

117
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:53.480
<v Speaker 3>most of the major Star Wars comics nowadays, will be

118
00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:57.000
<v Speaker 3>particularly affected, both in terms of publishing comics and their

119
00:09:57.080 --> 00:10:07.840
<v Speaker 3>various multimedia adaptations. Yeah, exactly, and the visual developed team

120
00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:10.960
<v Speaker 3>in particular for Marvel Studios, basically the whole thing got

121
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:20.159
<v Speaker 3>wiped ooh yeah. Basically a skeleton crew now exists in

122
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:24.480
<v Speaker 3>a full time capacity, and basically they will go around

123
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:29.120
<v Speaker 3>and rehire some of the employees that were laid off

124
00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:36.519
<v Speaker 3>on a case by case basis as independent contractors. We

125
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:37.240
<v Speaker 3>love a company.

126
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:40.440
<v Speaker 2>This is not how you do shit, Disney.

127
00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:44.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And unfortunately these people will be basically forced to

128
00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:47.159
<v Speaker 3>go back because they don't.

129
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:51.480
<v Speaker 2>Have a job. Because they have a job, and Disney

130
00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:54.720
<v Speaker 2>gets away with, hey, you're gonna get this much money

131
00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:58.480
<v Speaker 2>and no health insurance? All right, yeah, cool, you work

132
00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:03.399
<v Speaker 2>for me forever, But not really because I can, you know,

133
00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:06.120
<v Speaker 2>legally say that you had nothing to do with us

134
00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:24.639
<v Speaker 2>because you're just a contract yep. Oh capitalism, joy Joy.

135
00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:32.039
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, that was definitely a terrible thing to locker

136
00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:41.919
<v Speaker 3>on and see this morning. It's just, yeah, it I

137
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:43.600
<v Speaker 3>don't have any good things to say, and I don't

138
00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:46.120
<v Speaker 3>really have any motivating things to say to make myself

139
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:46.720
<v Speaker 3>feel better.

140
00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:48.519
<v Speaker 4>It's just.

141
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:55.879
<v Speaker 2>I want to say, hopefully these people are able to

142
00:11:55.879 --> 00:12:00.320
<v Speaker 2>get back up on their feet. We've seen I mean,

143
00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:06.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, I just told you I I downloaded it

144
00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:09.960
<v Speaker 2>just for the fact that I was like, Okay, in

145
00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:14.679
<v Speaker 2>case Paramount wants to be a complete, you know, a

146
00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:18.639
<v Speaker 2>hole and not show this, I'm gonna grab it. Now.

147
00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:21.360
<v Speaker 2>I haven't watched it, that's the thing.

148
00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:27.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I didn't grab it, so I took.

149
00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:30.120
<v Speaker 2>The Avatar movie. And but what I'm where I'm connecting

150
00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:32.720
<v Speaker 2>this is there's a lot of things happening at a

151
00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:42.120
<v Speaker 2>lot of different companies, and on the spot of Paramount,

152
00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:47.200
<v Speaker 2>I go, haha, because you're the jerks that decided not

153
00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:49.440
<v Speaker 2>to put this out in theaters, and that's why I

154
00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:55.960
<v Speaker 2>got leaked. Now, I respect everybody who made the movie

155
00:12:56.320 --> 00:13:03.320
<v Speaker 2>because I mean, unfortunately, of course the head of right

156
00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:07.840
<v Speaker 2>correct me if I'm wrong, because you're another aang another

157
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:13.080
<v Speaker 2>Avatar person like me. The two that were originally involved

158
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:18.600
<v Speaker 2>in creation of the Avatar are no longer working on

159
00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:21.639
<v Speaker 2>or didn't have anything to do with this film.

160
00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:24.399
<v Speaker 3>I believe they had things to do with this film.

161
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:26.320
<v Speaker 3>They did not have anything to do with the live

162
00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:27.600
<v Speaker 3>action adaptation.

163
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:32.759
<v Speaker 2>Ah okay, okay, okay. So because of that.

164
00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:35.759
<v Speaker 3>Sorry, guys, I had to leave my door open now

165
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:38.320
<v Speaker 3>with my new Deak position because otherwise the stream yard

166
00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:39.320
<v Speaker 3>goes like freight take.

167
00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:44.320
<v Speaker 2>So it's all good. It's all good. But out of

168
00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:47.360
<v Speaker 2>respect of the people who worked on the film, I

169
00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:52.480
<v Speaker 2>have not watched it yet, but like I said, I

170
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:55.200
<v Speaker 2>was like, hey, I'm gonna download it just in case,

171
00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:58.799
<v Speaker 2>and I'm just gonna keep it because again I also

172
00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:03.440
<v Speaker 2>do not have permot us, So as long as I

173
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:08.080
<v Speaker 2>wait until it officially releases, then I can watch it.

174
00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:14.279
<v Speaker 2>But in the instance of what's going on at Disney,

175
00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:19.519
<v Speaker 2>like this is again another shame on you for the company,

176
00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:24.159
<v Speaker 2>but like it's even more so because they did this

177
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:29.600
<v Speaker 2>on purpose and then actively said, oh, don't worry, guys,

178
00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:33.360
<v Speaker 2>we are going to still give you guys work. We

179
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:37.840
<v Speaker 2>are just not going to give you benefits. Yeah, and

180
00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:41.600
<v Speaker 2>I feel like that's a lot worse. I hope these

181
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:44.720
<v Speaker 2>guys get back up on their feet and you know,

182
00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:49.159
<v Speaker 2>there's you know, other places to go to. Like I

183
00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:55.279
<v Speaker 2>feel like in this resurgence of of course the physical media,

184
00:14:55.320 --> 00:15:00.840
<v Speaker 2>there's also a resurgence of you know, in work and

185
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:03.279
<v Speaker 2>doing a whole bunch of other stuff. And so if

186
00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:07.759
<v Speaker 2>you can't work with the biggest company, hey, maybe this

187
00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:10.720
<v Speaker 2>is an opportunity to do something yourself or doing something

188
00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:13.759
<v Speaker 2>small that is a little bit more meaningful. And so

189
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:19.080
<v Speaker 2>I give that encouraging word to the people who may

190
00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:26.440
<v Speaker 2>have been affected. So yeah, but I think that is

191
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:28.519
<v Speaker 2>it for all of the news.

192
00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:34.879
<v Speaker 3>Yes, we're going to talk about box office productions closer

193
00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:40.240
<v Speaker 3>to Mandolin Grogu coming out.

194
00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:41.480
<v Speaker 2>Gosh, it's like like a month.

195
00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:46.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's distant tracking right now. So I figure, dude,

196
00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:49.519
<v Speaker 3>you're kicking you're killing me.

197
00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:52.759
<v Speaker 4>Get off your dummies.

198
00:15:55.720 --> 00:16:01.080
<v Speaker 3>I apologize, guys. My dogs are dumb. They are place.

199
00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:05.399
<v Speaker 2>I will say this. I will say this because your

200
00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:10.279
<v Speaker 2>dogs are smaller. That is not going to be nearly

201
00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:17.240
<v Speaker 2>as like abrasive towards anybody who was listening via podcast

202
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:22.039
<v Speaker 2>compared to if it was my big dog. Yeah, he

203
00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:29.600
<v Speaker 2>literally barks at literally anything that is outside, so which

204
00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:31.559
<v Speaker 2>is also why he's not allowed in this room when

205
00:16:31.559 --> 00:16:32.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm recording.

206
00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:36.080
<v Speaker 3>I could have my desk back in the middle and

207
00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:38.080
<v Speaker 3>I could shut my door. That would be great, but.

208
00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:40.240
<v Speaker 4>Staging.

209
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:43.679
<v Speaker 3>I do want to sell my house, guys, I promise,

210
00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:47.559
<v Speaker 3>really fed up with it already.

211
00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:54.399
<v Speaker 2>But yes, we will talk about predictions later. We will.

212
00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:57.000
<v Speaker 2>We will show these numbers when we talk about that

213
00:16:57.039 --> 00:16:59.440
<v Speaker 2>to see how it's kind of changed, if anything has

214
00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:04.119
<v Speaker 2>changed at all, I will say this hint. It's that

215
00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:10.720
<v Speaker 2>looking great. Uh, it was technically lower than what we predicted,

216
00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:16.640
<v Speaker 2>but we'll see how it goes. Again, we got a

217
00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:23.599
<v Speaker 2>whole month, so we want to talk about mal Oh.

218
00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:24.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, let's talk about Mare.

219
00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:28.599
<v Speaker 2>All right, This, of course, is the week of episodes

220
00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:37.559
<v Speaker 2>three and four titled Whispers in the Unknown and Pride

221
00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:47.319
<v Speaker 2>and Vengeance. So Whispers in the Unknown again.

222
00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:49.519
<v Speaker 3>Let me grab the baby monitor fast because Matt.

223
00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:53.880
<v Speaker 2>Had done no, you're good, you're good. When we talked

224
00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:57.079
<v Speaker 2>about episodes one and two, we talked about them together.

225
00:17:57.160 --> 00:18:00.400
<v Speaker 2>I feel like this is the same instance. We can

226
00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:08.720
<v Speaker 2>talk about both because again, these should be longer than

227
00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:11.799
<v Speaker 2>thirty minutes. People, I feel like each one of them.

228
00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:15.000
<v Speaker 2>That's the only downside. We're We're always saying like, hey,

229
00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:17.559
<v Speaker 2>we can have more content, right, we can have more

230
00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:23.519
<v Speaker 2>content rather than having eight episode seasons. But like if

231
00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:26.319
<v Speaker 2>we were to combine every single episode, this would or

232
00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:29.759
<v Speaker 2>like two episodes every single week, we would only have

233
00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:35.119
<v Speaker 2>a four episode season, so like five episodes, five episodes. Yeah,

234
00:18:35.119 --> 00:18:40.880
<v Speaker 2>you're right, you're right, you're right. But talking about these episodes,

235
00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:53.640
<v Speaker 2>how did you feel about the Like, we we don't

236
00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:59.000
<v Speaker 2>move the needle at all. Realistically in episodes three and four,

237
00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:05.440
<v Speaker 2>there is there's no new information. The only new development

238
00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:08.240
<v Speaker 2>that happens in these two episodes.

239
00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:09.359
<v Speaker 3>Is lost.

240
00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:15.160
<v Speaker 2>Yes, is lost in and at the very end of

241
00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:22.119
<v Speaker 2>the episode four spoilers the Empire shows up. Yeap, that

242
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:23.799
<v Speaker 2>is really it.

243
00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:25.680
<v Speaker 4>That's what.

244
00:19:27.400 --> 00:19:33.960
<v Speaker 3>I relate to what Adrian is saying in like, so far,

245
00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:38.000
<v Speaker 3>the only benefits that I'm seeing to this new show

246
00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:43.279
<v Speaker 3>is the animation style. I'm always gonna love this animation

247
00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:49.759
<v Speaker 3>style and the artistic developments here with like the brushstroke

248
00:19:50.680 --> 00:19:56.920
<v Speaker 3>animation has been super superb. The music and the style

249
00:19:57.759 --> 00:19:59.759
<v Speaker 3>of the show. I love that we're getting a thriller.

250
00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:03.400
<v Speaker 3>I do think you need more detail with a thriller,

251
00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:07.440
<v Speaker 3>and apparently they were not willing to expand the time

252
00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:11.599
<v Speaker 3>slot with it. Antelli's if you growl again, you're gonna

253
00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:12.160
<v Speaker 3>get smacked.

254
00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:19.279
<v Speaker 2>So I'm just going to actually share Adrian's words. I

255
00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:22.640
<v Speaker 2>did share the link with him, so he might be

256
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:25.759
<v Speaker 2>showing up. He might not. That is totally fine. I

257
00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:30.000
<v Speaker 2>actually kind of just sprung it onto him. I didn't

258
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:33.759
<v Speaker 2>even get to see if he responded, but his post

259
00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:37.720
<v Speaker 2>said this Maul has to be the most predictable character

260
00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:41.680
<v Speaker 2>in the franchise at this point halfway through the Shadow Lord,

261
00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:47.119
<v Speaker 2>and they just gave us more of the same, same motives,

262
00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:52.599
<v Speaker 2>same rhetoric, same tactics. How many apprentices are we gonna

263
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:55.559
<v Speaker 2>watch him tempt to the dark side because he can't

264
00:20:55.599 --> 00:21:00.119
<v Speaker 2>get his revenge on his own. But hey, here is

265
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:04.720
<v Speaker 2>another cool hallway scene cutting down non force users.

266
00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:07.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

267
00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:11.079
<v Speaker 3>I don't get wrong. I like the fight scene. I

268
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:16.279
<v Speaker 3>like the hallway scenes. They look cool, But I agree.

269
00:21:15.920 --> 00:21:19.319
<v Speaker 2>When it comes to substance. When it comes to the

270
00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:26.000
<v Speaker 2>actual story, I don't like having to say, oh, hey,

271
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:31.960
<v Speaker 2>three and four, nothing really happened. I don't like saying

272
00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:33.000
<v Speaker 2>that there.

273
00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:35.640
<v Speaker 4>Should be something that ees.

274
00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:40.279
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I feel like there needs to be something that

275
00:21:40.759 --> 00:21:46.200
<v Speaker 2>holds this story together. Now you can say, oh, well,

276
00:21:46.279 --> 00:21:51.400
<v Speaker 2>the new development in these episodes is Lawson is an

277
00:21:51.440 --> 00:22:01.480
<v Speaker 2>absence absentee father. Okay, like that might be used in

278
00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:06.880
<v Speaker 2>future episodes, but like we already know he's dedicated to

279
00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:12.200
<v Speaker 2>his job. So again you're you're just reiterating something in

280
00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:16.759
<v Speaker 2>a different way from episodes one and two. Now on

281
00:22:16.920 --> 00:22:20.920
<v Speaker 2>episodes three and four. You know, so that is a

282
00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:26.319
<v Speaker 2>problem there. You look at Mal himself. Mal is going

283
00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:31.480
<v Speaker 2>after these drug lords, these slumlords, these syndicates, same thing

284
00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:34.799
<v Speaker 2>over and over over again. And I said last week, Hey,

285
00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:39.319
<v Speaker 2>if it's just him doing this, I think that's okay,

286
00:22:39.839 --> 00:22:46.440
<v Speaker 2>But we need more story. Right now, there isn't much

287
00:22:46.920 --> 00:22:52.599
<v Speaker 2>more story because we already know he's already going to

288
00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:57.720
<v Speaker 2>attempt to persuade Devin to help him correct.

289
00:22:57.839 --> 00:23:02.880
<v Speaker 3>Yes, And I again go back to when we were

290
00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:06.920
<v Speaker 3>talking about like what we think could happen here, I go,

291
00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:10.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm constantly going back to like one of the things

292
00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:13.200
<v Speaker 3>I was like, oh, we could go season two with Kira,

293
00:23:13.759 --> 00:23:17.119
<v Speaker 3>for instance, I'm still in the vein of I would

294
00:23:17.119 --> 00:23:22.359
<v Speaker 3>have much rather seen Kira as the Apprentice and the

295
00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:29.400
<v Speaker 3>show have taken place six or three bby versus eighteen

296
00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:34.240
<v Speaker 3>bby because it's just we do feel like we're repeating

297
00:23:34.279 --> 00:23:40.079
<v Speaker 3>the same things. And I do get that. I feel

298
00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:45.440
<v Speaker 3>I feel like Filoni really wants to give Maul like

299
00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:51.720
<v Speaker 3>a forced gift of prophecy in like some way shape

300
00:23:51.799 --> 00:23:56.880
<v Speaker 3>or form, like a dark side forced prophecy gift because

301
00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:00.200
<v Speaker 3>he's got like all these visions.

302
00:24:01.440 --> 00:24:05.079
<v Speaker 4>I don't think he's hitting it no, like and.

303
00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:09.880
<v Speaker 2>Again that that does actually make sense with you know,

304
00:24:09.920 --> 00:24:14.440
<v Speaker 2>connecting the dots to like rebels and stuff. I can

305
00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:19.960
<v Speaker 2>I can see going I can see him going that route.

306
00:24:20.160 --> 00:24:25.240
<v Speaker 2>But this whole thing with Devon, you know I did.

307
00:24:25.559 --> 00:24:28.119
<v Speaker 2>It was a nice It was a nice little cherry

308
00:24:28.119 --> 00:24:30.680
<v Speaker 2>on top that she never gave him his name. But

309
00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:32.839
<v Speaker 2>then at the very end of their confrontation, he's like,

310
00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:39.200
<v Speaker 2>I'll need that back, Devon. And it makes you question

311
00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:44.480
<v Speaker 2>did he go ahead and do his research, was it

312
00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:51.880
<v Speaker 2>his vision or did he scare her enough to get

313
00:24:51.920 --> 00:24:58.079
<v Speaker 2>the name from her thoughts? Yeah, during that endeavor, and

314
00:24:58.119 --> 00:25:01.440
<v Speaker 2>it could be any of the above. That's the thing.

315
00:25:02.839 --> 00:25:06.720
<v Speaker 2>Not knowing is fun. But it was just a little

316
00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:11.519
<v Speaker 2>cherry on top that like that first confrontation was, oh,

317
00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:14.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, you have the luxury of knowing my name,

318
00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:17.960
<v Speaker 2>but I don't know yours. And he was playing coy

319
00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:21.119
<v Speaker 2>and doing all these things. He was being sly. I

320
00:25:21.119 --> 00:25:25.160
<v Speaker 2>think that's a part of this newer version of Maul

321
00:25:25.279 --> 00:25:29.920
<v Speaker 2>that we haven't really gotten to see. We've seen him

322
00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:35.160
<v Speaker 2>be a little bit manipulative with of course, uh oh

323
00:25:35.279 --> 00:25:42.160
<v Speaker 2>i'm i'm, I'm I'm Ezra. Yeah, but this is a

324
00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:47.160
<v Speaker 2>lot more calm when he was with Ezra. He's kind

325
00:25:47.240 --> 00:25:52.240
<v Speaker 2>of like the crazy old man, you know, he's a

326
00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:55.880
<v Speaker 2>little bit more He's he's more calm, more collected. He's

327
00:25:55.920 --> 00:25:59.519
<v Speaker 2>methodical because he's thought this stuff through. We know that

328
00:25:59.640 --> 00:26:04.359
<v Speaker 2>because there is a sequence of plans that are, you know,

329
00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:13.920
<v Speaker 2>seemingly being activated throughout these four episodes. So I do

330
00:26:14.440 --> 00:26:18.759
<v Speaker 2>like seeing this new version of mon I say new

331
00:26:18.799 --> 00:26:28.640
<v Speaker 2>as in quotations, but there is no substance. The most

332
00:26:28.640 --> 00:26:33.680
<v Speaker 2>intriguing thing out of the two episodes is quite possibly

333
00:26:33.759 --> 00:26:41.119
<v Speaker 2>two Boots and his desire to want to fulfill his

334
00:26:41.160 --> 00:26:46.799
<v Speaker 2>programming and say, hey, protocol says we call the empire. Hey,

335
00:26:47.640 --> 00:26:52.799
<v Speaker 2>this is kind of batshit crazy. We should call the empire. Hey,

336
00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:55.799
<v Speaker 2>you guys are doing the right thing. So I'll do

337
00:26:55.839 --> 00:26:58.839
<v Speaker 2>the right thing too. I'll call the Empire, call the

338
00:26:58.920 --> 00:27:03.160
<v Speaker 2>Empire like he does. He he mentions it like three

339
00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:06.880
<v Speaker 2>or four times in this of these two episodes.

340
00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:09.279
<v Speaker 4>And I was like, laws In what are you doing?

341
00:27:09.400 --> 00:27:12.279
<v Speaker 3>When he turns him off at the comm station and

342
00:27:12.319 --> 00:27:15.000
<v Speaker 3>he's like, y'all are y'all are going to be out

343
00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:17.559
<v Speaker 3>of your depth? Like I've got to call the Empire

344
00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:20.960
<v Speaker 3>right now that final time and he leaves him at

345
00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:24.960
<v Speaker 3>the communication booth. Oh no, no, somebody said turn him.

346
00:27:24.839 --> 00:27:29.000
<v Speaker 2>On exactly would I would have taken him with me

347
00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:31.960
<v Speaker 2>and I would have put him in the trunk of

348
00:27:32.039 --> 00:27:38.759
<v Speaker 2>the vehicle. Yeah, Like, I'm sorry. Now, it's interesting to

349
00:27:39.000 --> 00:27:43.000
<v Speaker 2>learn because two Boots may have struck a nerve by

350
00:27:43.000 --> 00:27:47.759
<v Speaker 2>the way Two Boots was talking about the Empire. He's like, okay,

351
00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:52.720
<v Speaker 2>so is this something of like you were wanting to

352
00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:56.400
<v Speaker 2>do on a personal level or is it because your

353
00:27:56.440 --> 00:28:01.599
<v Speaker 2>wife works for the Empire? And I'm like, dude, like

354
00:28:01.799 --> 00:28:06.039
<v Speaker 2>that was hysterical. Why hit so low to the belt,

355
00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:12.160
<v Speaker 2>you know? But again Lawson doesn't even like, he doesn't baty.

356
00:28:12.279 --> 00:28:15.640
<v Speaker 2>He just says, if the Empire comes over here, they'll

357
00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:18.960
<v Speaker 2>take over yep, and that'll be the end of it.

358
00:28:28.440 --> 00:28:37.720
<v Speaker 2>I like Lawson. I think Lawson is clearly in over

359
00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:43.079
<v Speaker 2>his head, and I feel like there's something missing with Lawson.

360
00:28:43.799 --> 00:28:50.799
<v Speaker 2>I do too, because I feel like this, like ooh,

361
00:28:51.079 --> 00:28:54.799
<v Speaker 2>good cop who is in over his head is such

362
00:28:55.000 --> 00:29:01.680
<v Speaker 2>a simplified, stereotypical storyline, and I'm like.

363
00:29:04.279 --> 00:29:08.119
<v Speaker 4>A father, like we've been here, done this.

364
00:29:08.559 --> 00:29:13.079
<v Speaker 2>Yes, you're hitting all the boxes for literally like almost

365
00:29:13.240 --> 00:29:19.400
<v Speaker 2>every single cop show or cop movie yep. And it's like, Okay,

366
00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:22.559
<v Speaker 2>what are we missing? There needs to be something here

367
00:29:23.119 --> 00:29:27.160
<v Speaker 2>that helps me get attached to this character. Yes, he

368
00:29:27.359 --> 00:29:31.240
<v Speaker 2>has a good heart in a galaxy that is very dark.

369
00:29:32.559 --> 00:29:36.759
<v Speaker 3>I think we have but we have talked about how

370
00:29:37.480 --> 00:29:42.720
<v Speaker 3>we are tired of the father story. Is this thing?

371
00:29:42.920 --> 00:29:48.359
<v Speaker 3>We need something new? And especially when you're reusing I

372
00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:53.000
<v Speaker 3>say reusing, you're reusing a character here mal who we

373
00:29:53.079 --> 00:29:55.920
<v Speaker 3>know at the beginning, in the end, and most of

374
00:29:56.000 --> 00:30:00.319
<v Speaker 3>the middle we have learned you can fill in store reason,

375
00:30:00.440 --> 00:30:05.000
<v Speaker 3>make them great and still do good things. I have hope,

376
00:30:05.759 --> 00:30:09.680
<v Speaker 3>but I don't have a lot of faith based on

377
00:30:09.720 --> 00:30:11.599
<v Speaker 3>what we've seen so far. No.

378
00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:18.920
<v Speaker 2>I agree, I I one hundred percent agree the the

379
00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:23.960
<v Speaker 2>fact that we see loss in connecting the dots, but

380
00:30:24.039 --> 00:30:31.240
<v Speaker 2>not really like. Here's another thing, is like Master Doci

381
00:30:31.880 --> 00:30:40.079
<v Speaker 2>Docy literally has Jedi written all over his face and

382
00:30:40.119 --> 00:30:42.599
<v Speaker 2>here comes Lost and in the in the midst of

383
00:30:42.799 --> 00:30:45.559
<v Speaker 2>you know, the battle and everything else. Why didn't you

384
00:30:45.599 --> 00:30:50.200
<v Speaker 2>tell me you guys were Jedi. It's just like, dude, really.

385
00:30:50.440 --> 00:30:53.400
<v Speaker 3>Really really, I thought you were smart.

386
00:30:54.640 --> 00:30:59.519
<v Speaker 2>Like it's frustrating, it really is, And I think that

387
00:30:59.640 --> 00:31:05.440
<v Speaker 2>is what going to be. Like the downfall of me

388
00:31:05.759 --> 00:31:12.319
<v Speaker 2>not loving Losson as a character is he is such

389
00:31:12.400 --> 00:31:21.039
<v Speaker 2>a stereotypical cop for this show, for this universe. There's

390
00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:26.000
<v Speaker 2>nothing new to the character type.

391
00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:27.119
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

392
00:31:27.160 --> 00:31:32.039
<v Speaker 2>That has me going, hey, I want this character to win. Yes,

393
00:31:32.079 --> 00:31:37.480
<v Speaker 2>I want him to win because mal is the antagonist, right,

394
00:31:38.440 --> 00:31:44.519
<v Speaker 2>you all want that. Everybody wants that, but to actually

395
00:31:44.599 --> 00:31:50.240
<v Speaker 2>like have because don't get me wrong, you look at

396
00:31:50.359 --> 00:31:54.880
<v Speaker 2>every character in Star Wars. Star Wars is such a

397
00:31:55.240 --> 00:32:00.359
<v Speaker 2>large phenomenon within our life that you could literally ask

398
00:32:01.119 --> 00:32:07.839
<v Speaker 2>a thousand people and half of them would name somebody

399
00:32:08.079 --> 00:32:10.880
<v Speaker 2>that you've probably never heard of in Star Wars as

400
00:32:11.000 --> 00:32:16.680
<v Speaker 2>their favorite character. Lawson can be somebody's favorite character. But

401
00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:19.599
<v Speaker 2>I can tell you right now, Lawson cannot be my

402
00:32:19.880 --> 00:32:27.559
<v Speaker 2>favorite character because there's nothing new to him to be

403
00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:32.839
<v Speaker 2>a favorite character for me. And that kind of hurts

404
00:32:33.039 --> 00:32:36.440
<v Speaker 2>because he's supposed to be a major player in this

405
00:32:36.519 --> 00:32:40.960
<v Speaker 2>new show, you know, and so that kind of hurts that,

406
00:32:41.279 --> 00:32:49.440
<v Speaker 2>that kind of hurts his like well it let me

407
00:32:49.519 --> 00:32:56.319
<v Speaker 2>rephrase it. It hurts the show, not necessarily the character

408
00:32:56.400 --> 00:33:00.000
<v Speaker 2>and not necessarily the actor. It hurts the show.

409
00:33:01.160 --> 00:33:05.920
<v Speaker 3>It does because you want, like we've already been green

410
00:33:05.960 --> 00:33:08.559
<v Speaker 3>lit for season two here, so you know there's season

411
00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:12.160
<v Speaker 3>two coming. They could choose to go off and do

412
00:33:13.200 --> 00:33:15.519
<v Speaker 3>like we talked about, Oh we're gonna do three years

413
00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:18.640
<v Speaker 3>from now, and it's not gonna be on Janics Lawson

414
00:33:18.680 --> 00:33:22.839
<v Speaker 3>could completely disappear from the show in season two. But

415
00:33:23.359 --> 00:33:26.440
<v Speaker 3>you still want to make it so you relate to

416
00:33:26.480 --> 00:33:31.119
<v Speaker 3>the protagonist that's going on, like you're trying to convert

417
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:37.559
<v Speaker 3>us and show us the antagonist's point of view. But

418
00:33:37.599 --> 00:33:40.839
<v Speaker 3>that doesn't really that's not gonna work for everybody, And

419
00:33:40.839 --> 00:33:43.920
<v Speaker 3>if you want to continue the show, you do have

420
00:33:44.079 --> 00:33:46.559
<v Speaker 3>to have a good protagonist at play.

421
00:33:47.480 --> 00:33:56.319
<v Speaker 2>Mm hm no I I one h agree.

422
00:33:57.960 --> 00:33:59.200
<v Speaker 4>It's a beautiful show.

423
00:33:59.519 --> 00:34:05.160
<v Speaker 3>It looks gorgeous. I still love all the voice actors.

424
00:34:05.359 --> 00:34:10.440
<v Speaker 3>Vanessa Marshall is killing its road cast. Oh gosh, I

425
00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:20.079
<v Speaker 3>can't remember her name, Devin's actress. Mm hmm, I love her.

426
00:34:20.519 --> 00:34:24.039
<v Speaker 3>She's doing a great job. Like the lightsaber fight between

427
00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:28.320
<v Speaker 3>her and Ma super good, super good. I loved it.

428
00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:34.280
<v Speaker 4>Gideon Adlon.

429
00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:47.639
<v Speaker 3>That is her name, obviously President all State amazing. So

430
00:34:48.360 --> 00:34:54.880
<v Speaker 3>like the voice cast here, it's fantastic without a doubt.

431
00:34:55.519 --> 00:34:55.920
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmm.

432
00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:04.840
<v Speaker 3>I just need more substance. Yea, yeah, the music also great.

433
00:35:06.000 --> 00:35:10.079
<v Speaker 2>I agree, and like I don't want people to have

434
00:35:10.159 --> 00:35:12.639
<v Speaker 2>to say, like, oh, but there's also a comic book

435
00:35:12.639 --> 00:35:14.159
<v Speaker 2>that you can get that substance in.

436
00:35:14.519 --> 00:35:16.639
<v Speaker 4>It's like, uh huh, I'm.

437
00:35:16.440 --> 00:35:20.119
<v Speaker 2>Okay with chasing a story. Like we are book nerds.

438
00:35:20.159 --> 00:35:23.440
<v Speaker 2>We read all the time. We are eventually going to

439
00:35:23.519 --> 00:35:29.719
<v Speaker 2>read the mall comic. But you are advertising this and

440
00:35:29.760 --> 00:35:35.440
<v Speaker 2>you're not advertising the comic. Yep this is your main thing.

441
00:35:36.079 --> 00:35:38.840
<v Speaker 2>This is what you want people to be drawn to,

442
00:35:40.400 --> 00:35:47.000
<v Speaker 2>and there's nothing there that's that's my thing. So we

443
00:35:47.159 --> 00:36:01.519
<v Speaker 2>have six episodes to go, six episodes, and is all

444
00:36:01.559 --> 00:36:03.280
<v Speaker 2>the episodes are going to be out by the time

445
00:36:03.480 --> 00:36:05.480
<v Speaker 2>Mando releases correct?

446
00:36:05.719 --> 00:36:06.599
<v Speaker 3>Yes? Correct?

447
00:36:06.679 --> 00:36:11.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay, yeah, so six episodes left, which means there's gonna

448
00:36:11.800 --> 00:36:21.400
<v Speaker 2>be three more weeks. I hope next week there's a

449
00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:25.719
<v Speaker 2>bit more lead up, there's I hope there is again

450
00:36:25.920 --> 00:36:29.440
<v Speaker 2>more substance, more story. I was just talking to a

451
00:36:29.480 --> 00:36:35.559
<v Speaker 2>co worker today about like what his predictions are, you know.

452
00:36:35.840 --> 00:36:41.039
<v Speaker 2>He he also brought up Crimson Dawn and like, oh,

453
00:36:41.199 --> 00:36:44.119
<v Speaker 2>you know this will eventually lead up to that. We

454
00:36:44.280 --> 00:36:48.519
<v Speaker 2>know that it can't be immediately after because of the timeline.

455
00:36:48.920 --> 00:36:52.519
<v Speaker 2>There would need to be a time jump. He also

456
00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:56.639
<v Speaker 2>puts the prediction out that because the Empire is now involved,

457
00:36:57.320 --> 00:37:02.199
<v Speaker 2>that Mal is going to cut down all of the

458
00:37:02.239 --> 00:37:06.320
<v Speaker 2>inquisitors and that we're gonna have a Vader versus Mall fight.

459
00:37:07.880 --> 00:37:13.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't believe that will happen. Correct me if I'm wrong.

460
00:37:14.199 --> 00:37:19.960
<v Speaker 2>There has never been a confrontation between Mal and Vader.

461
00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:22.599
<v Speaker 4>I don't think so.

462
00:37:23.400 --> 00:37:29.119
<v Speaker 2>No, I don't think. Here's the thing. If there is

463
00:37:29.159 --> 00:37:33.360
<v Speaker 2>a confrontation between Mal and Vader, Filoni has no faith

464
00:37:33.400 --> 00:37:40.920
<v Speaker 2>in his own product. Correct I think that if Filone

465
00:37:41.480 --> 00:37:46.559
<v Speaker 2>made the decision, hey, we are going to put Darth

466
00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:53.840
<v Speaker 2>Vader into this season, and that is what cowers Mall

467
00:37:54.119 --> 00:37:59.239
<v Speaker 2>into hiding and all of that stuff, I will flip

468
00:37:59.280 --> 00:38:01.119
<v Speaker 2>a table, you.

469
00:38:01.119 --> 00:38:04.880
<v Speaker 3>Have no faith, and like you said, the next episode

470
00:38:05.039 --> 00:38:10.360
<v Speaker 3>is called Inquisition, so I imagine we're getting Brock next

471
00:38:10.360 --> 00:38:17.360
<v Speaker 3>episode and potentially the Crow inquisitor dude. We know the

472
00:38:17.440 --> 00:38:21.400
<v Speaker 3>Crow dude makes it out because Ahsoka kills him. Yes,

473
00:38:21.519 --> 00:38:27.280
<v Speaker 3>Mack could very easily die in this series, and that's

474
00:38:27.320 --> 00:38:32.239
<v Speaker 3>why he's uh able to be kept alive.

475
00:38:33.599 --> 00:38:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmm.

476
00:38:35.320 --> 00:38:39.119
<v Speaker 3>Uh I say kept alive. His ghost can like resurrect

477
00:38:39.480 --> 00:38:46.119
<v Speaker 3>in Ahsoka because a uh Daphamarion killed him for instance.

478
00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:50.559
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, kind of making stuff up. Yeah, but uh,

479
00:38:50.719 --> 00:38:53.559
<v Speaker 3>chapter five is called Inquisition. Chapter six is called Knight

480
00:38:53.800 --> 00:38:59.159
<v Speaker 3>of the Hunted. So definitely I'm thinking we're getting inquisitors

481
00:38:59.239 --> 00:39:00.599
<v Speaker 3>next episode.

482
00:39:00.800 --> 00:39:07.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think so as Fall, But I think that's it.

483
00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:10.800
<v Speaker 2>This was a short episode. There's nothing again, no substance,

484
00:39:10.880 --> 00:39:14.119
<v Speaker 2>no story, nothing to really kind of deep dive into. Unfortunately,

485
00:39:14.719 --> 00:39:20.199
<v Speaker 2>but again it's like I think it is okay for

486
00:39:20.320 --> 00:39:23.840
<v Speaker 2>things to be okay. We've said this before on the podcast.

487
00:39:24.599 --> 00:39:28.440
<v Speaker 2>I think that this is right below Okay, so I

488
00:39:28.599 --> 00:39:32.159
<v Speaker 2>need the episodes to pick up.

489
00:39:32.920 --> 00:39:34.880
<v Speaker 4>I'm definitely right now.

490
00:39:35.000 --> 00:39:39.960
<v Speaker 3>This is below Bubbleffett for me right now, like Bobaffett

491
00:39:40.239 --> 00:39:44.800
<v Speaker 3>gave me a storyline, it gave me substance. Yeah, it

492
00:39:44.920 --> 00:39:45.960
<v Speaker 3>did something new.

493
00:39:47.400 --> 00:39:53.719
<v Speaker 2>That's true. Currently there's not really there. There's there's oh

494
00:39:53.800 --> 00:40:00.760
<v Speaker 2>mall oh lightsabers, and that's basically it so far. So yep, man,

495
00:40:01.719 --> 00:40:05.360
<v Speaker 2>that's rough. But we'll have to see how the next

496
00:40:05.360 --> 00:40:09.679
<v Speaker 2>three weeks are. But of course you guys can always

497
00:40:09.679 --> 00:40:14.320
<v Speaker 2>find me at fanboy Clay on threads and Instagram. That's

498
00:40:14.360 --> 00:40:20.840
<v Speaker 2>where I'm mostly gonna be at. We have decided officially

499
00:40:21.039 --> 00:40:23.719
<v Speaker 2>over at Ranger Alliance we are going to do every

500
00:40:23.920 --> 00:40:29.920
<v Speaker 2>other week for our show. It helps both Jake and

501
00:40:29.960 --> 00:40:35.159
<v Speaker 2>I with planning content, and we have come to learn

502
00:40:35.320 --> 00:40:39.760
<v Speaker 2>that the new show that we are reviewing there's not

503
00:40:39.800 --> 00:40:44.480
<v Speaker 2>a whole lot of Again the substance. Same thing with

504
00:40:44.599 --> 00:40:49.239
<v Speaker 2>here is there's like, out of a thirty minute episode,

505
00:40:49.599 --> 00:40:51.519
<v Speaker 2>half of it is really really good, full of story,

506
00:40:51.559 --> 00:40:53.559
<v Speaker 2>and the other half is kind of like, there's nothing

507
00:40:53.599 --> 00:40:56.719
<v Speaker 2>really there, And so we have to talk about two

508
00:40:56.760 --> 00:41:01.280
<v Speaker 2>episodes to really get a full episode of content when

509
00:41:01.320 --> 00:41:05.760
<v Speaker 2>it comes to part So we're going to have Ranger

510
00:41:05.760 --> 00:41:09.760
<v Speaker 2>Alliance every two weeks. Now, you guys should be getting

511
00:41:10.079 --> 00:41:15.719
<v Speaker 2>a new episode this week. I totally forgot to edit

512
