Creature Commando's reviews weekly. We have Sonic coming this week
this week that we're gonna be reviewing, and then we
also have.
Speaker 2: Dexter that's right, this week four episode release. Can you
believe that four episode premiere?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be Uh, it's gonna be jam packed.
There's just so much stuff going on right now. It's
absolutely just mind boggling.
Speaker 2: But we're coming at five. Don't forget about that.
Speaker 3: Don't forget about that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, comes with fire or something. I didn't jump on
that review. Another movie I've never heard of, but uh yeah,
lots of content. You never know what you're gonna get.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 1: But today we're gonna get into our non spoilers thoughts. So, Kirkland,
give it to me straight. What is your feeling on
this episode so far?
Speaker 2: I'll give it to you straight and narrow. Show has
grown on me. Honestly, I feel like it's winning. It's
winning me over more it's I wasn't out of it.
It just it seemed like it wasn't necessarily the show
for me. I I thought it definitely looked good for
like a Star Wars show. It just set design, costumes, everything,
Like I like the vibe of what the show is aesthetically.
I just think the overall adventure wasn't something that I
was necessarily grasping on too. But I feel like week
to week it's it's grown on me for sure, And
this this episode was probably my favorite of the bunch.
Like I think it it has good mystery elements to it,
a lot of a lot of moments while I'm watching it,
it's like like like I feel like I'm trying to
figure out exactly what's happening, and all I will say,
there's some things they're trying to elude around that I
feel like have been obvious since the show started. And
I'm hoping it doesn't go along like on too long
because it's just kinda it's gonna get corny in that sense.
Speaker 3: Of like who is this character? Who is it?
Speaker 2: I wonder who it is? It's like, oh man, and
like maybe it's a red herring right where it's like
it actually isn't that character, And then I'll be I'll
be eating my words. But for now it's getting a
little bit uh okay, come on, guys, you know, let's go.
But yeah, no, I think the show. I think the
show is solid. I think I think it is very solids.
It's still not my favorite, like maybe plot lines to
be following, or maybe just focus on certain parts of
the galaxy that we know in Star Wars, like you
know now what Acolyte should have been For me, it's
no just just dark and gritty storyline. But that's not
what the show's trying to be. So I think they're
doing a good job ats staying in their lane and
doing what they're what they're doing, just telling the story
that they want to tell. And yeah, I think it's good.
I think. Uh I'm not gonna say like I'm growing
to like more certain characters than I did. I feel
like the characters that I liked from the get go
I've liked from the get go. But it is nice
that maybe we're getting more shine on some other characters
that we didn't get a lot of time with in
the early episode. So yeah, no, it's it's good. Jude
Law is still fantastic. The robot s M thirty three.
I've never never saw it with my robot names, but
I think I'm close thirty three. Yeah, I think. I
know it's not, but every time he speaks, I just
think it's it's our good old Boba. Every time, I
feel like I'm specifically hearing like maybe like a clone voice,
not like his Boba voice, but just like maybe like
specifically the Fibo first legion. You know those videos from
Star Star Wars Battlefront two where it's like, this is
what we would and the I felt like those little
like pre videos before you go to mine. Yeah, yeah,
like that's what I hear when I'm thirty three talks
and I'm like, I know it's not him, but fuck,
I just hear it every single time. But yeah, I
literally like that character too, So overall, yeah, it's good.
Thumbs up. I'm glad this isn't just a dud. You know,
like every week it's like our Knuckles review. I basically
keep forgetting that we even did that until I see
the Sonic three trailer and like, oh yeah Knuckles. Oh
yeah there's a show with Knuckles, And yeah, no, I'm
glad it's not that I'm glad I'm at least having
a good time with the show. And yeah, are you
watching this alone or like with Madison or like, how
are you doing that?
Speaker 1: I watched with Madison and I watched Miss Team actually,
and she she's so like there's some stuff like she's
not engaging with and she'll ignore the TV and other
things like that, especially live action stuff. But this she's
so engaged with that and she loves it. She just
sits on the couch and like squeezes her doll.
Speaker 3: She's just like loving it.
Speaker 2: She's out in her one inch ham butter.
Speaker 3: That's right. Yeah, she gets get eggs and everything, so.
Speaker 1: I hope not Yeah, but uh, I'm I'm glad that
she's enjoying it because I know, like my niece, for example,
she's she's pretty little, but she does not like.
Speaker 3: Star Wars at all, which sucks. I think. Okay, like
as a kid like my kid Wars.
Speaker 2: You'll turn it. This one's broken, give me a new
one exactly.
Speaker 1: But this episode and this show is definitely growing on
me too. I'm still not a fan of of Whim.
He does things much less, I'll give him credit much
less than this episode that really picks.
Speaker 2: Screen time as well. I feel like this episode, so
maybe that's that's something to do with it.
Speaker 1: Much less screen time. I love Neil. Neil's fantastic fern
this This kid had an amazing moment in this in
this episode, holy smokes, Like you really see like the
development of this character.
Speaker 3: So I'm just I'm loving all of this. It's great.
Speaker 1: They're doing such a good job. They're flushing these characters out.
Whim ah, God, I don't know. We'll we'll see, We'll see.
Speaker 2: Didn't you just say you're growing more on him? It's
just he's annoying you less same sentence. I don't know
about him though. He's not gonna make it. He's not
gonna make it.
Speaker 3: He's not gonna make it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Uh. Jude Law absolutely fantastic. I I love everything about
him in this episode.
Speaker 3: He's great. He's just such as he's such a charasmanic
character and you really can't get a read or a
bead on him. He's just uh yeah, he's he's got
his own thing going.
Speaker 1: And I feel like as much as the show is
kind of revealing things, it's still got its own high
regard of secrets that I'm happy about, and not just
secrets like that we're trying to explore as a as
a group in this adventure, but just our character, Jude
Law has his own secrets and there's one thing I'm
gonna bring up during this spoiler section of this review
just because I'm kind of curious if we're.
Speaker 3: Gonna touch upon it again.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think overall this episode it really did
surprise me. And the way it started off too, I
was like, wow, that was quick, but things really changed
and I'm excited to see where we go from here
because i feel like our story is well.
Speaker 3: I'm not really at a dead end.
Speaker 1: I mean they have, they've kind of figured themselves out
and they figured out like their next step. But it'll
be interesting to see how they kind of navigate this,
especially with one of our characters becoming an interesting dynamic.
Speaker 3: For our crew.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think the show has really really got
an upswing right now for me.
Speaker 2: Agreed?
Speaker 1: Yeah, any other thoughts or should we transition over that's
hop skip jump our way over hopskip jump? Okay, Well,
we're going to take our first at break of the
night and then we'll be right.
Speaker 3: Back and we are back, so where do you want
to start with this episode? Because there's a lot that
goes on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think let's start with just like ad Aten
and what's going on with ad At, and because I
feel like I like the setup and the possibilities of
what this was. Like in the previous episodes, we were
speculating kind of just how this place is, what it
is of, and like how long it's been there, because
it seems like it's been through you know, the whole
fall of the well the rise and fall of the Empire,
right like they're basically completely detached from that, and I
feel like it seems like we were gonna be getting
like what I would have expected maybe from us going
to what we suppose was ad At and in this
episode was just like the same location and then just
having like the characters coordinate there. But then we get
here and it's completely different set up where you know,
there's different factions, we don't really know exactly what's going
on even though this should be an ad Aten and
there's just some mystery to it. I think that's like
a really engaging part of this the show for me,
is just kind of what this place is because I
think initially it was just kind of fun to have
it as some sort of oasis. But I feel like
now my mind makes me think that it's it's very
much not even what it's. It's not the oasis what
like that everyone else thinks it's not just like yeah,
just just like the regular home that the kids thought
it was, Like, I think it's something completely different than
that and seems like a more uh maybe nefarious science
project or something like. I feel like it's going to
be something like that, and that's kind of cool, like
that that's something that I haven't seen before really in
Star Wars, And obviously that's not confirmed or anything in
this in this episode is just it. It's given me
vibes of that of like I don't know, even even
last time we saw Whim's dad, you know, the pos dad,
that guy that I wasn't a fan of, Like there's
something going on with some some droids that said that
he was kind of in the wrong spot, and I
don't know, it makes it feel like I think we
even talked about like a comparison like a Truman Show
type setup of just kind of being monitored in that
aspect and it being like a play that everyone's playing
out and I don't know, just that's kind of my
theory right now. I don't know if I'm alone in
the in the weeds over there, if I don't know, like,
are you what's your vibe with that at and are
you thinking similar to me? Are you thinking something there's
different or completely against what I'm saying?
Speaker 1: Oh, I mean, I'm still trying to wrap my head
around the history around this planet. And again, I love
the idea that it has been just kept out of
touch from the Empire and the Sith and there were
public and all this kind of stuff. But this episode
really does explore it's it's other eight planets, it's co planets.
I guess I can't remember all the names. But again
we know that this was at Akron that they were visiting,
but yeah, just where it sits and them trying to
get back to it.
Speaker 3: I'd like to see.
Speaker 1: A little bit more about what's going on with those
parents and again the piece of shit dad.
Speaker 3: There's a few piece of shit dads in this episode.
Speaker 1: One conscripting children is fucking army, which is crazy this.
Speaker 2: Planet we use children and soldiers. Yeah, Jesus Ormonger.
Speaker 1: But I'd like to go back to add Ad and
I'd like to see what the parents are talking about,
and i'd like to know more. And I'm sure we're
going to get in the finale because this episode focused
on the supervisor's tower, where you can kind of see
everything in this in this tower, the location of the
other at planets and whatnot. And so I'm assuming this
tower is identical to the one and ad Ad and
and I would like to see more with the supervisor
because last we saw the parents, the parents like, I
want to talk to the supervisor, YadA, YadA, YadA, And
so how much does the supervisor really know? And is
it just the supervisor keeping a blanket over everyone, because
we know the parents talked about the Republic at some point,
and I think people take that in the context, oh,
the new Republic, because the New Republic is a thing
at this point, That's probably not the case. They're probably
referring to the old Republic and the supervisor knows what's
happened out there.
Speaker 2: So yeah, you totally just reminded me of what this
reminds me of. And I was saying it kind of
is set up. Well, I'm getting the vibe of it
being some sort of weird science experiment is fallout totally
follow with the volts, and especially if it's a supervisor
with like being like an overseer situation where maybe they
are the only ones that know what's happening. And yeah,
so I'm getting big vibes of that. And if it's
anything like that, that's so awesome, Like that's something so
different from anything that we've really seen in Star Wars before,
because it's it's like we're going to different planets and stuff.
But if that is the case, I feel like it's
it's reducing the scale and size of just the events,
which I feel like Star Wars sometimes is a hard
time pulling back on. They always try and go, well,
you know the movies we got the Death Star, well,
now we got the Super death Star, or no, we
got the Death Star that we rebuilt the Death Star
and then we got the Super death Star Starcular Base,
and it just seems like we're just trying to up
each other. You know. I'm taking example from the movie specifically,
but even in like Mando, like like we're going for
these really large scale world galactic ending events like all
the time. It seems so Yeah, and like even if
it isn't the case that I'm kind of pitching. It
is still nice having a more contained story, And like
I was saying in the non spoilers, like, it's nice
that they're kind of just they're sticking to what they're
to the story that they're trying to tell. They're not
gonna just try and snowball affect it and just make
this giant thing that they can't really control. I'm like
in the scale of it all, and yeah, it's it's
got good mystery and intrigue. Like week to week it
answers a little bit, but still leaves you questioning a
lot of things. So yeah, good formula to have for
the show overall.
Speaker 1: That is a good way of looking at it. Just
the vaults and the overseers and what like fallow up
because a big highlight here is this planet at Akron
looks identical to ad Aden.
Speaker 3: They thought it was one and the same, even though it.
Speaker 2: Feels synthetic, right like it feels like like manufactured in
that way where it is.
Speaker 1: That's great And a big keynote difference here is that
you've got on top of the school this massive weaponized
like gun, anti aircraft whatever kind of gun which.
Speaker 3: Is not on the school on at Aden.
Speaker 1: So are we to think too, this is a war
torn kind of planet here?
Speaker 3: Are we to say that? Okay, maybe this experiment was
to be more war oriented or was it just maybe
that wasn't the case.
Speaker 1: Maybe it was just being targeted and destroyed and whatnot.
And then you have this pirate guy with SM thirty
three who just destroyed the coordinates, got there and died
in the crash. I don't know, there's so much mystery
still surrounding it, but I feel like, Okay, did this
pirate king guy go to all the other app planets.
Speaker 3: And destroy the coordinates at Adam?
Speaker 1: Because I'm assuming the supervisor towers and all the other
planets would have the coordinates. So why couldn't they just
try and get coordinates from seven other locations now that they.
Speaker 3: Know what to do. Yeah, but maybe it's easier said
than done.
Speaker 2: Mh cool. The next thing I would like to talk
about is the law man himself, mister Jude, Hey Jude,
where are you? Yeah? I I'm thinking he's the old Captain.
I feel like we're both kind of in that same mindset.
What like, what do you think remember the Captain and
that was mutint need at the beginning he got Captain
Jack sparrowed.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's definitely him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. So this is the thing where it just
seems like that we keep hinting, whether it's s M.
Thirty three being like, oh my old captain, and it
just this like law seeming like he's just trying to
quiet him down because he's gonna reveal stuff.
Speaker 3: That he's captain.
Speaker 1: Yeah you don't think so, no, because why would he
leave that at and then and not know how to
get back there?
Speaker 2: Good point? Okay, never mind. Then I kind of kind
of didn't think about that, Okay, but I have hard
checkmate there. I think it's just the idea of what
the captain is. I think I just assumed it was
one and the same. But as you point that out, yeah,
that makes a lot more sense. But I don't like it.
Although although it's not like straight up addressing like the same,
like I guess, just stuff that happened to him when
he got mutinied early on, it still feels like every
time we have this character there is a little bit
of something like that. And that's where I'm just kind
of getting annoyed with with them. Not just revealing that,
but I feel like I was also kind of attributing
that a lot to the s M thirty three stuff
this episode, so there you you just kind of pop
that balloon. So maybe I'm not as sour on it
as I should be, but still it just feels like
it was so easily like we just ousted them, like
right early on, like okay, no, that definitely is Drew
Law that like you almost could have got that reveal
in the exact same episode and it really doesn't change anything,
Like I think if we get that reveal in the finale,
like it wouldn't have done anything if we didn't just
get that in the same episode. I know it's tough
to judge because we're not there yet, we're not even
the penultimate yet, but so I don't know, it just
seems like a that's where it feels like a like
a kids show type twist, you know, where it's like, oh,
it was old man Withers the whole time, and old
Man Withers was wearing the exact same clothes that he
was when we saw him earlier on just that type
of example, and I feel like the show has shown
examples of it not being that, like, even though it
is like a young young actor led project, right like
they are younger. I keep wanting to say younger people
just sound like such an old fuck when I when
I go to say that some young wings, maybe I'll
say that that's a group of young Wings. But like
the overall threats and stuff, it doesn't feel like like
a classic kids show, so I think because to me,
the twist with jew Law is very much that it
just kind of stands out a lot, but it's not
a main focus of every week, I guess, even though
I thought it was.
Speaker 3: When do you think we're gonna see him use the
force again?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: Good question. I think I don't know exactly what episode
it could be, but I predict it would be in
a way to like help the kids, Like it'll be
like a nice heroic thing that he's uh yeah, just
just kind of a chance to prove his quality, you know,
like the Great Captain of Gone Door perrem here. Even then,
I don't know, I feel like it could be to
just pull a key towards him again, Like I don't know,
I really don't know.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean that's where I kind of think, like, uh,
what if we get a moment where the kids like
because they believe in him now because after he just
he pulled out his lightsaber and executed all those other
pirates and took the Ewis I think they're called back.
I'm kidding, no lightsaber combat. He bought them with stolen
daties from Neil and whims coin purse, and he resolved
the situation, returned the lost stolen property to the other tribes.
So they believe in him now, especially Fern Firm puts
a lot of faith in him now because she was
really taken aback by the fact that, okay, he came
through for them. So what if we get a moment
where it's a big time battle and they're like.
Speaker 3: Okay, use the force.
Speaker 1: You can use the force here, like yeah, yeah, just
move that thing over, and then he'll be like, you
know what doesn't work like that. I'm actually not by
Jedi or a Force Caesar whatever. I guess he'd say
I'm not a Force Caesar because he admitted in last
week's episode he's not a Jedi. So do you think
that something like that could be plausible?
Speaker 2: Uh? Yeah, yeah, I yeah, I do.
Speaker 3: So you're yeah, that's fair. I mean, so you're still
on the fence about him really having the Force.
Speaker 2: I it's it's it's tough because I feel like I've
always been in that realm of belief that like it's
not just Jedi or Sith that can be for sensitive
Like of course, going through like the Dearth Plague is novel,
like that really opened up my eyes to the idea
of other force users and not them just using it
in combat, like it could be used to just like
cheat in gambling, right, Like, like it totally makes sense,
especially if it's a great Grand galaxy. Like there's there's
what like close to eight billion people on Earth, but
like how many acts actual trillions of people and not
even people, like different species of individuals aren't there in
the Great Galaxy? Like, yeah, I'm sure there's a lot
of people fucking playing the Pebble game, you know that one,
the Three Pebble game, the three Coconut game, and using
force to just cheat their way out of it. Like,
like it totally makes sense. And I feel like he's
set up to be that con man, so he very
much fits the trope of a character that I would
kind of think of that would be using stuff like that.
So yeah, I think he I think he's for sensitive,
but I'm ready to be wrong. I don't have a
lot of chips on the table for like my my
bet one that he is for sensitive or if it
is just something he's got big magnets in his hands, magnets.
Speaker 3: I'm similar to you.
Speaker 1: I'm leaning towards him being for sensitive, but I would again,
I'm not gonna be surprised if it turns out that
he's not. But I want to believe that he is
because I like the idea of a non Jedi or
Sith character using the Force for their own personal game.
Speaker 2: Like I'm pretty limited on my Clone Wars. What is
it the bad badge rebel like that type of Has
there been like like a forced sensitive like blaster user
in the sense of like like a badass bounty hunter
type character that's really able to combo all that stuff together.
Then you can say, like Leah, Okay, she's used a
blaster and then I guess she used the Force later on,
But like that's a completely different thing in my mind,
like actually having it like in their kit, like they're
able to kind of combo with the Force as well
as blasters.
Speaker 1: Jemis, I say, sure, but it's probably like, uh, they're
more in line with like Grogu for example, like you
had a Grogu who had Jedi Temple training. You have
a Sage Ventress and the Clone wars. He becomes a
bounty hunter, but she's had training from a Jedi and
from a Sith Lord, so that I don't really count those,
but someone that's just been on the streets making the
name for themselves. Yeah, and even in the games too,
I feel like, okay, the representation here, we see Force users,
but they're all Jedi that are just on the run now,
So you don't really get that perspective of a character
that uses the Force and is not a former Jedi
or a dark Side user or anything like that. And
I think there's a lot of potential there for a
character like that though, a lot of backstory you can
explore and why they didn't get picked and if like
some people are saying, oh, Jude Law is probably an
apprentice that lost their master when he was very young
and just survived in the galaxy.
Speaker 3: I like the idea that he just.
Speaker 1: Wasn't detected by the Empire and the Jedi couldn't come
and get him because the Jedi were all annihilated, so
he was he was missed or maybe he was born
after when the Inquisitors were kind of all knocked off
and hunting Luke and Ahsoka and all of them and
the rebels, that they didn't have time to go for
other force users and force sensitive children. And that's just
where Jude Law kind of fits into the story here.
I don't know there was twenty something years of a
timeline that you can play with with this character. I
don't even know how old Judlaw's character really is either,
But yeah, I digress back to the episode at hand. So, yeah,
they our crew basically they get they can't get the coordinates.
We didn't see any of the other pirates, but basically
they survived this horrible war torn planet. And we learned
that SM thirty three has kind of an override.
Speaker 3: Inside his systems.
Speaker 1: And so when Fern is like, I'm your captain, override
because when he's saying.
Speaker 3: Can't say I remember I no ad Aten, he's.
Speaker 1: Really saying like, okay, like I can't say that I
remember ad Ad and that's just his protocol put in
by his previous captain, and so Fern overrides that and
it doesn't go well, they don't get any information, but
they know that Okay, he does know where ad Aden is,
but he's like and my daughter kind of actually jumped
at this point because when.
Speaker 3: He, like sm thirty three went to like suplex super.
Speaker 1: And was like, I would ship my pants when he
like turns to from oh what's uh Neil and it's like.
Speaker 3: Limb from Limb, Limb from Limb, like Jesus Christ and
then he charges at him.
Speaker 2: It's a very different style, but it reminded me of
isn't I Robot? Is that what's called the will Smith one? Yes, Yeah,
it reminded me of that when they go like the
red mode and they're just like evil and like total
tonal shift where I feel like SM thirty three when
he's like just the goofy pirate, like he doesn't seem
like he could harm well, he can harm people, but
like not the kids or anything. Like, he just doesn't
seem medicine where he's right away the switch gets flipped
and he just seems like he can rip them apart,
you know, lim Limb from Limb literally, So yeah, I
thought that was a good horror element to have in
the show. And I feel like it's a good like
cap to have on it, you know, to not scare
the little ones, like I sure it was. It was, Yeah,
it was appropriate.
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, you know.
Speaker 1: I robots one of those things that it was rent
free in my head, just the lines and everything. And
you're dropping that too.
Speaker 3: But you know, even when they're the robots. But he
said like, oh, please return to your home.
Speaker 1: It's a curfew, isn't it that Shilah buff is just
like talking shit curfew.
Speaker 3: There's no curfew.
Speaker 2: Oh I gotta rewatch that one.
Speaker 1: My gosh, I put it down for the Christmas break man,
it happened.
Speaker 3: It's so good you shooting.
Speaker 2: Me with your eyes closed, especially, like like even just
the random quotes. I feel like, just come to me
when uh and like this I say all the time
because I drink my coffee black. And then there's a
scene when he's like getting coffee and then he's like
sugar free coffee. Is like, no, thanks, I'm sweet enough.
I dropped that line all the time. And because of
because of Will Smith's character, you and I are so
like that the movies that just get our get our attentions.
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, well we'll take our last ad break and
then start whining things up.
Speaker 3: We'll be right back, and we are back.
Speaker 1: So do you have anything that you wanted to close
out with on this episode, because I got a couple
of things I'm just gonna shout out for you from
last episode that we're deciphered.
Speaker 2: Ooh cool. Yeah, we got more Whim stuff. That's that's
his name, right, trunk boy Neil.
Speaker 3: Neil Whim is the annoying kid, right.
Speaker 2: Whim's the annoy one. So yeah, it was nice to
get some more Neil moments. I really liked just a
little friend that he made in this movie. In this Wow, Tom,
I'm tired in this movie. In this episode, Haydra was
that her name headdress something like that, like the badass
girl who was befriending Neil. I kind of liked how
she was rough and grizzled. But then you know, she
keeps seeing these like really wholesome moments that Neil's just
interacting with the world, and it's kind of just making
her baffled because she's never seen something like that. So
I liked that dynamic. I like the showcase of that.
There's a specific scene which she like says goodbye to
to Neil, she like walks off and then there's like
there's like a little like rock or something, and like
so just walking around it or over it, she just
does like a fucking like gainer. She does like a
little twist gainer. I'm like, that is so unnecessary, but
I like it. I like it, you know, like why
not like just fucking showcase that she's a badass. That's awesome. Yeah,
it's just kind of funny. So yeah, I like the
Neil stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Fern.
Speaker 2: I like the moment when she was kind of like
really losing confidence because she's always been throughout the whole show,
this character that's put on this like persona like I'm
tough and like I know the whole world. You know,
I'm young and I'm never gonna die. Like I like
that type of attitude. And then here she's like, wow,
like we almost just died and it's my call, and
like just the weight of everything there is like hitting her.
Uh So it was a nice little Yeah, just character highlight,
I guess, I'll say so, just showing some depth to
the character. And don't really have anything else to say
on the other characters, like KB, She's I feel like
she's had better showcases throughout the show so far, and yeah, Whim.
I'm not gonna say. I'm like, like he's growing on me.
It's just like maybe I'm more used to it now,
like the whininess and because he was less in this
episode wasn't really a whole lot there. I like the
moment when he gets there and he's like it's King
no Ahead. It's like you think that's his name. It's like,
I don't know, it makes sense that he would be
King no Head.
Speaker 3: That was the one.
Speaker 2: I'm like, damn, damn it. Whim.
Speaker 3: He's just a yeah.
Speaker 1: Just he bothered me when he was doing his thing
because they're like, oh, be careful, and he runs out
and then it cuts to like the next thing I'm
exploring and he's got a stick. He's like you swinging
around like it's his light saber. I'm like, man, this
kid needs to calm down. And then he gets like
the big gun. Look at the Neil, look at this
gets the big gun and it like fires it off.
And then this war the war tour like military drafter
guys like.
Speaker 3: You are braver than most or whatever.
Speaker 1: He says to to Whim, just feeding that feeding that
ego and yeah, it makes.
Speaker 3: Gives the idea.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh you fight like a Jedi, gives the idea
to Fern, but still just makes Fern feel like shit,
Like you know, you always figure it out, and you're
gonna figure it out for us this time. Like, man, Wim,
just come up with your own fucking plan.
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, shot the fuck up, Whim above be your
character if you're in the show.
Speaker 1: So excuse me, I have some details from episode three now,
h Famboy Clay provided me with some translations form episode two,
which one but I'm I'm gonna skip over that because
I already shared that with you. But this is from
Kim's or Chimes Observatory from last week's episode, and this
person basically translated the orbsh from the whole observatory. And
so christ I don't know of Time's well. So the
nav bank in that observatory has a list of planets
that are all located in the Hidean or Heidian Way
that dates back to three thy seven hundred years before
the Battle of Yavon and canon and legends lots of
connections to every era of Star Wars. Hugh with the
Money pirates and greed, all that kind of stuff. So
some of the planets in the nap Bank Bonaden, Salient, Cato,
may Ruria, Lists, the Hall, Julikan, Tilos course, and at Tilos,
I'm pretty sure is the Knights of the Old Republic
planet that would ring a bell for.
Speaker 3: Knights the Old Public fans.
Speaker 1: Bonnaden situated at start of the hitting Way Bond is
heavily industrialized planet ten years before Battle Yavon. It's arms dealers,
stuff like that. Bonadin is where our boy, Jedi Master
Torbin is actually from. That was his birthplace, remember Torbin
from Acolyte.
Speaker 2: Holy Crass?
Speaker 3: The what the fuck? How do you just have that? Okay?
Speaker 2: I thought it was like a saved image.
Speaker 3: Of my screen saver on my phone. Jedi Master Torbn.
Speaker 2: That was the blind guy though, right, I honestly don't remember.
He's like meditating. Oh yes, meditating.
Speaker 3: I think he is blind. Yeah, so that's that's his
home world, isn't it.
Speaker 2: Like Jeoffrey's brother too in Game of Thrones, like a
younger brother.
Speaker 3: Yes, same, actor's absolutely right.
Speaker 2: Seduced by Nellie Dormer.
Speaker 3: He walks out the window of the town.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Harley Knu hardly knew Ye salient. So this is
during the Clone Wars uh splining weapons of both sides,
and then it plays part in Star Wars Catalyst Roque
one novel because that's where Sagerera's troops are basically having
military conflicts there. Kato Mai sybian species. You see them
pop up on a lot of different Star Wars projects,
some Kotar stuff.
Speaker 3: Ruhi.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's some neat things there with Carson Teva and
as a Bridger dealing with some stuff.
Speaker 3: Some aliens list the Hall.
Speaker 1: Now this has aliens here that are you would recognize
them from the last Jedi and then Julikian. This one
is from some underrated Star Wars books and whatnot it
looks like. And then yeah, Telos the planet for Qatar fans,
it's big from Star Wars Night's Old or Public two.
Specifically Courson first mentioned in Tarkan that novel and first
appearing in The Doctor Aft for twenty twenty.
Speaker 3: That's pretty cool. What else is here?
Speaker 1: So before Kim starts to narrow down, there is just
the circle with the bottom clearly saying eliminated.
Speaker 3: And this guy's still going.
Speaker 1: There's a list she pulls up of ten thousand planets.
Speaker 2: And he translated them all this one.
Speaker 1: He did work on the Jewels, the Old Republic Scroll,
but they ended up they kind of stopped around here.
There's some interesting like little bits of like translations, and
the words were nourished and withered in the families Weedon
were housed and people weedon, sir and not but as
the Jewels peoples of many the Republic. And they mentioned
the blight, which is interesting and if my memory serves
me correctly, Oh, in.
Speaker 3: The High Republic era, you have you have a few
different things.
Speaker 1: You obviously have the Nihill, which are nasty space vikings,
and then you have the oh why am I forgetting
the plant creatures. Basically, there are these the drain gear.
The drain geara these dark side they're not like dark
Side syth, but just dark side force plant things, and
they basically consume you and you can imagine just like
a giant plant monster with vines that will grab you
and eat you. They're very carnivorous, basically purana plant, and
they're very good at fighting Jedi. They have some some
crazy shit about them. But then there's the blight, and
this is something that Marchion Roe was able to figure
out how to hold he's the leader of the Niehill
and Marchion Roe basically figure out how to control the blight.
And it is basically from how I transfer the words
into my mind of how the blight works is it's
this disease and as it kind of spreads, organic materials
will start to just decay and turn into like ash
or something like that. And so if it hits a
person like you'll lose your hand if you touch it,
like it's just a it's a very very unstoppable.
Speaker 3: I call it the disease. But that's my interpretation.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen any actual visualizations, and I'm sure there's
a lot more better representations of it, but this is
something that's just been kind of like recently dropped into
the Star Wars Higher Republic stuff, and so that's something
that I'm going to be I'm excited to see more
of in the.
Speaker 3: Next Star Wars Higher Public book.
Speaker 1: But if it is blight related and that's got a
card at hand as to why some of these jewels
of the Higher Republic fell and collapsed, then that would
be pretty cool to see. I'd love it if ultimately
it was just nighil too. And I know I'm speaking
mumbo jumble to you right now.
Speaker 2: When you were going off, but You're like, just you
said like a bunch of words I just didn't understand,
and I'm like, am I just am I dreaming right now?
Like what is going on? I'm gonna I'm gonna just
a but no that it sounds really cool about the Blake.
The way you started explaining it made me think of
the flood actually from Hale of just this like unstoppable
terror that's just like it's just taking over everything. And
but it's not like a species. It is like a
miasma or some sort of ale ale.
Speaker 3: That's how I see that.
Speaker 2: Just a death air.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeahs cool.
Speaker 2: It's cool. I mean it's different than other things that
I've seen before in Star Wars, so I like it.
It feels like it could fit potentially with what you
know we discovered already on this planet. Like it doesn't
look healthy, it looks dead, So that's right. I feel
like I'm more intrigued about these plant dark sad users
that just fuck up Jedi Like, geez, sign me up, gear,
drend Gear.
Speaker 3: They're pretty cool.
Speaker 2: I'll show you quickly. I'm thinking like ents now too.
And then like in Warhammer, they have like wood elves
that are like these like dry Ad type characters. Now
I'm picturing that. Wow, even more different than I would
have expected, kind of like man thing a little bit.
Speaker 3: Kind of honestly. Yeah, so here's a good photo.
Speaker 2: How did they still get against Jedi because they're just
because they don't have lightsabers or anything.
Speaker 1: Why was it they have some advantage over Jedi? I
can't fully remember what it was. They share a collective
consciousness with each other. They could dominate and corrupt other minds.
Speaker 2: Number them, I would imagine if they have like a
hive mind thing.
Speaker 1: Yes, they could reform with their two animated bodies.
Speaker 3: If they're cutting half cut off one head, Tom all
rise exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So they're they're pretty cool antagonists, very terrified.
Speaker 2: And where have they popped up? Is it just high
Republic stuff?
Speaker 3: Just like the higher Republic stuff?
Speaker 1: So from what I from what I remember, and we
did a review, me and Travis for this one book.
This master and apprentice came across this old abandoned station
I think in an asteroid, and while they were in there,
they found these old dark Side relics and it turns out,
I'm assuming some syth or whatnot had managed to trap
the drain gear here and lock them in, and so
the drag gear were trapped in the station with these totems.
Speaker 3: Yeah, kind of like that.
Speaker 1: These dark Side totes were kind of like holding them
hostage here, and so when the Jedi took them away
and moved the totems off to look at them, then
it let the drag gear out. So the drag gear
has been that. What's need is the night Hill have
been taking drang gear plants and then Ni Hill drop
the drag gear on Republic worlds to just fuck them
up and just like kill people.
Speaker 2: It's the exact same Prometheus everything.
Speaker 3: There you go.
Speaker 2: I like this, Actually I want to see some drain
gear up in here.
Speaker 1: And you know what, if Acolyte did, then maybe we
would have got something like that. Hopefully we do in
the future because it's it's untapped potential. There's a lot
that they can cover with it.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's the drain gear looking at the at
the no Accolade appearance go back there. Yeah cool, I
forgot about this one. You remember this one too?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Is that George Clooney what the fuck I forgot about
that's whar I Harry Potter fancast, I did George Clooney
and then I went on like some AI face swap thing,
and I mean it looks pretty good though.
Speaker 3: It does look really good. It looks actually really really good. Alright,
ladies and gentlemen, Well there you have it. We'll be
back next week with episode five of Skeleton Crews. So
stay tuned. Lots of stuff dropping on the feeds, and
may the Force be with you.
Speaker 2: Oh
