<v Speaker 1>The Force will be with you always.

2
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:24.399
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back to another episode of a Star Wars Alliance.

3
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:28.120
<v Speaker 2>Of course, I'm your host Clay, and with me like

4
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:32.640
<v Speaker 2>every single week. Of course is Katie.

5
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:41.840
<v Speaker 3>It's it's my fancy new apartment. Guys, you know, super exciting. No,

6
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:46.280
<v Speaker 3>I'm we are closed on my house. I'm living in

7
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:51.840
<v Speaker 3>my mother's basement, so uh. And this is a pre

8
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:55.640
<v Speaker 3>programmed stream yard background that we will be using for

9
00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:56.679
<v Speaker 3>the sable future.

10
00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:05.680
<v Speaker 2>I am empty, not completely moved out yet, but this

11
00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:09.840
<v Speaker 2>is the last Star Wars Alliance that I will be

12
00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:10.920
<v Speaker 2>doing in this apartment.

13
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:14.760
<v Speaker 4>I am leaving next week.

14
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:22.719
<v Speaker 2>But because of the heck, heck, heck, chaos words chaos boom,

15
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:26.840
<v Speaker 2>that's an even better word, because of the chaos of moving.

16
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:31.680
<v Speaker 2>I told I was like, I want to get packed

17
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:35.879
<v Speaker 2>up as soon as possible. And if I record on

18
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:41.319
<v Speaker 2>the Wednesday, literally two days before we're leaving, it means

19
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:44.239
<v Speaker 2>that I have to force myself to not pack up

20
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:51.359
<v Speaker 2>my setup. I really and and because of how I

21
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:56.359
<v Speaker 2>literally mapped out like I did a little like brain

22
00:01:56.519 --> 00:01:59.879
<v Speaker 2>map in my head of what the storage unit is

23
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:05.719
<v Speaker 2>to look like in the trailer, and my desk literally

24
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:09.639
<v Speaker 2>has to be up against the wall, the back wall,

25
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:13.520
<v Speaker 2>and yeah, so I'm like, I am not going to

26
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:18.280
<v Speaker 2>force us to not pack anything just to do that.

27
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:21.879
<v Speaker 3>And that's why last week, guys, there was a pre

28
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:26.800
<v Speaker 3>recorded episode. And next week we will be releasing episode

29
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:31.400
<v Speaker 3>two of our new Jedi order. Yes, book Club that

30
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:34.120
<v Speaker 3>has been Patreon exclusive, and we're gonna be releasing an

31
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:36.080
<v Speaker 3>episode of that for you guys next week.

32
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:42.560
<v Speaker 2>Yes, we did release Victor Prime back in November. Now

33
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:51.439
<v Speaker 2>it'll be onslaught on on next week on the twenty five. Yeah,

34
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:55.520
<v Speaker 2>and then the next week, the first week of July,

35
00:02:56.479 --> 00:03:01.159
<v Speaker 2>we will be live again and we will be talking

36
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:09.000
<v Speaker 2>about it'll be the start of our High Republic retro,

37
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:17.599
<v Speaker 2>which we will be doing by reader grade, So we

38
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:23.919
<v Speaker 2>will be doing the young readers, then the middle grade,

39
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:30.159
<v Speaker 2>and then the adult novels one at a time, not

40
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:33.039
<v Speaker 2>one at a time as far as like individual books,

41
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:36.159
<v Speaker 2>but we will be reading the arcs and we will

42
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:41.039
<v Speaker 2>be talking about how they are a coherent story without

43
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:47.639
<v Speaker 2>reading anything else. It'll be interesting because I think we've

44
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:52.960
<v Speaker 2>already talked about how.

45
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:58.199
<v Speaker 4>By that third like it was still Phase one, but

46
00:03:58.280 --> 00:03:59.199
<v Speaker 4>it was Wave three.

47
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:04.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Wave three started to get a little convoluted, within

48
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:05.919
<v Speaker 2>their own like.

49
00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:09.520
<v Speaker 4>Reading grade, so.

50
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:12.680
<v Speaker 2>It'll be interesting to see how all of that comes together.

51
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:17.759
<v Speaker 2>So the first week of July will start that and

52
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:23.000
<v Speaker 2>then yeah, we have a whole bunch of stuff planned

53
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:29.759
<v Speaker 2>for the rest of the year. I am also working

54
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:36.040
<v Speaker 2>on solidifying more of our schedule, so that'll be fun

55
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:41.759
<v Speaker 2>as well. But speaking of a topic for today is

56
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:45.680
<v Speaker 2>going to be the Star Wars twenty twenty five run,

57
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:52.240
<v Speaker 2>which is only ten issues long, and all ten issues

58
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:57.920
<v Speaker 2>are collected in this volume one. Now, before we actually

59
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:00.360
<v Speaker 2>go on to that topic, we do have some other

60
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:11.959
<v Speaker 2>smaller topics. The last time we spoke live anyway, we

61
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:14.439
<v Speaker 2>were talking about how there was going to be more

62
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:21.079
<v Speaker 2>footage and more conversation around Zero Company. We finally got it.

63
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:21.879
<v Speaker 4>We got a.

64
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:27.319
<v Speaker 2>Whole bunch of stuff on Zero Company. But we also

65
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:33.000
<v Speaker 2>got a reveal. There is a character model. It is

66
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:37.240
<v Speaker 2>not yet confirmed if it will be a playable character,

67
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:47.000
<v Speaker 2>whether in the story or like post story mode or whatever, but.

68
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:52.040
<v Speaker 4>We have a character model for Anakin Skywalker the Clone Wars.

69
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:58.319
<v Speaker 2>He was the very last frame of the of the

70
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:03.120
<v Speaker 2>trailer during the games or sorry, not the Game Awards.

71
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:10.879
<v Speaker 2>It was during Summer games Fest, and it was awesome.

72
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:18.279
<v Speaker 2>This game looks so cool. There is so much customization

73
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:23.560
<v Speaker 2>that you can do with every single character that joins

74
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:29.839
<v Speaker 2>your team. And what this does is it legitimately puts

75
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:33.920
<v Speaker 2>you in a point of getting attached to these characters.

76
00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:38.519
<v Speaker 2>Because the way that this developer has created their games

77
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:43.800
<v Speaker 2>in the past, x com you can you know, get

78
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:46.319
<v Speaker 2>attached to these characters and then they die.

79
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:51.720
<v Speaker 4>And then you like you just lose that character.

80
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:54.160
<v Speaker 2>It's not like, oh, they die for this round and

81
00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:57.040
<v Speaker 2>then you know the very next round they'll come back.

82
00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:01.360
<v Speaker 2>That's not how that works. Like, once they die, they

83
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:02.639
<v Speaker 2>die for the rest of your game.

84
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:08.439
<v Speaker 4>We've also seen uh.

85
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:10.040
<v Speaker 2>One of like because it was really cool, Like if

86
00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:12.720
<v Speaker 2>you watch the trailer, and I think I'll have to

87
00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:14.839
<v Speaker 2>just send it to you. If you watch the trailer,

88
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:18.079
<v Speaker 2>there's like a frame where like your team is like

89
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:22.920
<v Speaker 2>running into battle. But they did a really cool montage

90
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:27.519
<v Speaker 2>of like all the combinations of like different characters can

91
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:31.279
<v Speaker 2>be in your team, as well as the customization customization

92
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:36.120
<v Speaker 2>of like uh outfits and stuff. Yeah, Like they did

93
00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:40.160
<v Speaker 2>a really really cool like montage of them running in

94
00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:43.759
<v Speaker 2>all the characters changing all at once into multiple characters.

95
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:49.480
<v Speaker 2>But the last frame of that montage is literally every

96
00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:54.000
<v Speaker 2>single one of your teammates can be droids.

97
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:57.839
<v Speaker 3>Oh that it sounds like fun.

98
00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:01.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so like you can you can make them all

99
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:07.360
<v Speaker 2>our units. I think that is so cool. So I

100
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:14.199
<v Speaker 2>am very, very, very excited about this game. This game

101
00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:22.399
<v Speaker 2>does have a release date. The release date for Zero Company.

102
00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:26.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh gosh, what was the release date for a zero Company?

103
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:28.240
<v Speaker 2>And let me look at it real quick. I forgot

104
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:33.720
<v Speaker 2>to write it down. Everything is releasing in September. Okay,

105
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:37.759
<v Speaker 2>I say everything, I mean like everything video game wise

106
00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:41.080
<v Speaker 2>this year is releasing in September.

107
00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:46.440
<v Speaker 3>And it's okay because all the romanticy stuff releases in

108
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:47.200
<v Speaker 3>September two.

109
00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:51.799
<v Speaker 2>So well, like the reason why that is is because,

110
00:08:53.320 --> 00:08:56.440
<v Speaker 2>and I know you're not a big gamer, but Grand

111
00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:59.759
<v Speaker 2>Theft Auto Grand Theft Auto six is like the big

112
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:01.720
<v Speaker 2>that nobody wants to mess with.

113
00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:03.360
<v Speaker 4>It is like the.

114
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:09.440
<v Speaker 2>Of like it's it's it's the Infinity War or the

115
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:13.559
<v Speaker 2>end game of this year. Ye, nobody wants to compete

116
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:17.840
<v Speaker 2>with it. So literally all of September is jam packed

117
00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:19.240
<v Speaker 2>with like thirty games.

118
00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:21.519
<v Speaker 4>It's kind of insane.

119
00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:25.519
<v Speaker 3>But because Grant that Auto have been delayed like seven

120
00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:26.639
<v Speaker 3>or eight times.

121
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:29.679
<v Speaker 2>Yes, uh, it's been delayed quite a bit, but this

122
00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:32.639
<v Speaker 2>is like a solidified like, hey, we are going to

123
00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:40.120
<v Speaker 2>release on this date, which is November. But actually zero

124
00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:43.639

125
00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:51.840

00:09:52.039 --> 00:10:02.600
<v Speaker 2>two months and a week, eight days, so a week

127
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:02.840

<v Speaker 4>Date again, August twenty seventh, so seventh, two months.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, two months, one week and one day, which is

132
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:23.480
<v Speaker 2>gonna be super super fun.

133
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:26.759
<v Speaker 4>I am probably.

134
00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:33.240
<v Speaker 2>Uh and I will have my entire setup yeah when

135
00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:37.919
<v Speaker 2>I move, but it'll be like more established. I'm gonna

136
00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:42.639
<v Speaker 2>try and stream a little bit more when I'm down

137
00:10:42.679 --> 00:10:43.600
<v Speaker 2>back in Texas.

138
00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:46.480
<v Speaker 3>That'd be fun because well.

139
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:50.240
<v Speaker 2>Abby mentioned because I mentioned about how many games are

140
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:54.120
<v Speaker 2>releasing in September and how many to buy in September,

141
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:56.759
<v Speaker 2>and she's like, didn't you just tell me that you

142
00:10:56.840 --> 00:10:57.879
<v Speaker 2>had like a whole bunch.

143
00:10:57.679 --> 00:11:00.000
<v Speaker 4>Of games that you have yet to play or yet

144
00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:00.759
<v Speaker 4>to be I.

145
00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:10.080
<v Speaker 2>Was like, technically yes, And the thing is I bought

146
00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:15.679
<v Speaker 2>like almost ten years ago. Now I'm oh, my gosh,

147
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:29.399
<v Speaker 2>Actually it's twenty twenty six not ten years, eight years.

148
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:37.200
<v Speaker 2>I bought a giant steam like bundle.

149
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:39.200
<v Speaker 4>Of Star Wars games.

150
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:43.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and those are games that I have not played

151
00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:47.840
<v Speaker 2>in almost twenty years. So I am going to be

152
00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:49.759
<v Speaker 2>playing a lot of those games, which I think would

153
00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:53.159
<v Speaker 2>be really fun to highlight some of that. And so

154
00:11:53.879 --> 00:11:57.279
<v Speaker 2>once I'm down there, I'll start promoting my Twitch channel

155
00:11:57.279 --> 00:11:59.399
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more and I have a little fun

156
00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:04.480
<v Speaker 2>with that. But yeah, the other news that we got

157
00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:08.240
<v Speaker 2>in gaming is a Fate of the Old Republic.

158
00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:11.240
<v Speaker 4>Not Knights of the Old Republic, but Fate of the

159
00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:11.879
<v Speaker 4>Old Republic.

160
00:12:12.039 --> 00:12:14.759
<v Speaker 2>Is the newer game that was announced that was like

161
00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:18.080
<v Speaker 2>the biggest bomb at the Game Awards last year.

162
00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:20.600
<v Speaker 4>We now have.

163
00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:31.159
<v Speaker 2>A narrative director who was the writer of Cyberpunk twenty

164
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:36.320
<v Speaker 2>seventy SEVENNKY seven had a a little bit of a

165
00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:39.840
<v Speaker 2>rocky start when it was released as far as the

166
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:40.559
<v Speaker 2>video game.

167
00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:44.519
<v Speaker 4>Goes, but I have heard very, very very good.

168
00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:50.440
<v Speaker 2>Things on the writing of that video game, So this

169
00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:53.080
<v Speaker 2>is something that people are really excited about. I have

170
00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:57.200
<v Speaker 2>no history with this writer, so for him to be

171
00:12:57.279 --> 00:13:01.759
<v Speaker 2>a narrative director is you know, pretty interesting. So we

172
00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:06.600
<v Speaker 2>will keep you guys updated, uh with all of the

173
00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:09.519
<v Speaker 2>fate of the old public updates, and I do apologize.

174
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:12.720
<v Speaker 2>This room is super hot and I was not going

175
00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:15.159
<v Speaker 2>to turn off my AC so if you guys can

176
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:20.919
<v Speaker 2>hear that, I apologize. That is all of the gaming

177
00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:24.039
<v Speaker 2>news that we have gotten in the last two weeks.

178
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:29.559
<v Speaker 4>But Katie, I did send you a message about a

179
00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:36.879
<v Speaker 4>really nice looking book that is coming out fairly.

180
00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:44.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so obviously we have feelings about special editions and

181
00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:51.480
<v Speaker 3>delecte editions, Clay more so than I do. But the

182
00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:58.679
<v Speaker 3>book in question, this is a little bit early for Ron,

183
00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:03.360
<v Speaker 3>but they Star Wars is choosing to celebrate Drown's tenure

184
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:14.120
<v Speaker 3>anniversary slightly early with a stunning deluxe edition with complete

185
00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:20.480
<v Speaker 3>with slipcover and everything. Let me see if it'll let

186
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:21.279
<v Speaker 3>me share this.

187
00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:28.879
<v Speaker 2>Share. I don't even know that there was a YouTube

188
00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:31.279
<v Speaker 2>video on it until I open the article.

189
00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:36.960
<v Speaker 3>So this is the slip cover that is going to

190
00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:42.679
<v Speaker 3>go alongside it, and then you can kind of see here,

191
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:47.759
<v Speaker 3>Oh I'm that is loud. Okay, now it's sharing my

192
00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:56.519
<v Speaker 3>screen play, so you can see the sprayed edges with

193
00:14:56.519 --> 00:14:59.200
<v Speaker 3>the Imperial logo, the little slip cover with the chest

194
00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:02.960
<v Speaker 3>ascendency on the end, and like how he's cut out

195
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:12.600
<v Speaker 3>with a star destroyer. It's so pretty in the back. Oh,

196
00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:17.360
<v Speaker 3>it's so nice looking. Oh this even got in papers.

197
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:26.440
<v Speaker 3>I love in papers. Anyways, that's it.

198
00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:34.639
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, this releases in October with a price tag

199
00:15:34.919 --> 00:15:37.320
<v Speaker 2>of fifty dollars.

200
00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:40.519
<v Speaker 3>It's fifty bucks.

201
00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:43.960
<v Speaker 4>Yes, it says right here. At a steep price of

202
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:44.639
<v Speaker 4>fifty dollars.

203
00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:48.159
<v Speaker 2>Deluxe edition of Thron appears to be more of a

204
00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:55.279
<v Speaker 2>collector's so they're they're kind of comparing it to Revenge

205
00:15:55.320 --> 00:16:01.000
<v Speaker 2>of the Sith, the deluxe edition from the past year.

206
00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:07.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but like they didn't. There's no notations or anything

207
00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:08.080
<v Speaker 3>in there.

208
00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:10.879
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's literally just a deluxe edition.

209
00:16:13.240 --> 00:16:18.559
<v Speaker 3>I could see like forty bucks fifty in this economy.

210
00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:20.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I love you.

211
00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:27.759
<v Speaker 3>It's I love your random house worlds. That's not an

212
00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:30.840
<v Speaker 3>automatic purchase for me as much as I love Thron.

213
00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:36.559
<v Speaker 2>Now, I will have to double check because I wasn't

214
00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:41.440
<v Speaker 2>opening it. But when I was showing you my signed

215
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:51.200
<v Speaker 2>copies of my Tron Tron, my Throng trilogy, remember one

216
00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:54.240
<v Speaker 2>of like the very first pages of.

217
00:16:54.039 --> 00:16:56.080
<v Speaker 4>One of the books was falling out.

218
00:16:57.080 --> 00:17:01.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, if it was Thron, if it was the first book,

219
00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:07.359
<v Speaker 2>I could see myself saying I need to replace it anyway,

220
00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:08.400
<v Speaker 2>you know.

221
00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:11.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but that's nothing a little glue can't fix.

222
00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:19.880
<v Speaker 2>True, true, and honest, honestly, with the amount of times

223
00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:23.000
<v Speaker 2>that I will most likely not be going back to

224
00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:27.160
<v Speaker 2>that book to constantly be opening and reading it, I

225
00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:29.799
<v Speaker 2>could honestly just go to a random bookstore and grab

226
00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:30.440
<v Speaker 2>another copy.

227
00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:35.559
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. So I love the sprayed edges. It's a gorgeous

228
00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:36.160
<v Speaker 3>looking book.

229
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:39.680
<v Speaker 4>But again they're.

230
00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:41.440
<v Speaker 2>They're saying they're saying it in the article like this

231
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:45.119
<v Speaker 2>is more of like a hey, this is to be

232
00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:52.279
<v Speaker 2>on your shelf for decoration. Yeah, you know, and I

233
00:17:52.400 --> 00:18:00.359
<v Speaker 2>applaud everybody who does do like I I've seen people on.

234
00:17:58.160 --> 00:18:02.079
<v Speaker 4>On uh Instagram and on TikTok that like have an.

235
00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:08.599
<v Speaker 2>Entire backdrop of their bookshelf and it's all sprayed.

236
00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:12.160
<v Speaker 3>Edges, which is totally fine. But also a lot of

237
00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:17.079
<v Speaker 3>those sprayed edges right now, like they're vary from like

238
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:22.519
<v Speaker 3>twenty to thirty bucks because Amazon and other places tend

239
00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:25.160
<v Speaker 3>to have the special edition on sale. That's why I

240
00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:28.319
<v Speaker 3>have so many sprayed edges is because I'm like, Okay,

241
00:18:28.359 --> 00:18:35.039
<v Speaker 3>I don't really care about like a book like that much.

242
00:18:35.079 --> 00:18:36.519
<v Speaker 3>I just want a copy of it.

243
00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:38.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and I don't.

244
00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:42.319
<v Speaker 3>Need a special edition. But the regular edition is thirty

245
00:18:42.359 --> 00:18:45.519
<v Speaker 3>two dollars in the special edition like I got, I

246
00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:50.000
<v Speaker 3>got right to the startlingk the deluxe edition for eighteen dollars,

247
00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:52.359
<v Speaker 3>like I wonder.

248
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:55.480
<v Speaker 2>So here's here's the thing, though, is this gonna be

249
00:18:55.680 --> 00:19:01.240
<v Speaker 2>a book that you could see going on sale very

250
00:19:01.359 --> 00:19:07.400
<v Speaker 2>very soon after because of the fact that in this

251
00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:11.880
<v Speaker 2>economy it may not fly off the shelf, you know.

252
00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:18.000
<v Speaker 3>No, because it's probably very limited copies, and so they

253
00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:21.079
<v Speaker 3>will probably at least I would say, hold the price

254
00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:30.400
<v Speaker 3>until after the holidays, just because of that. Yeah, I like,

255
00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:33.839
<v Speaker 3>because people might go, like I have plenty of people

256
00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:35.680
<v Speaker 3>in my life who have bought me a random Star

257
00:19:35.720 --> 00:19:41.359
<v Speaker 3>Wars book that was a special edition because they know

258
00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:43.799
<v Speaker 3>that I'm not typically a special edition person, but they

259
00:19:43.799 --> 00:19:46.400
<v Speaker 3>think that I would appreciate it. Yeah, and I'm not

260
00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:49.359
<v Speaker 3>saying I don't, but that's just not something that I

261
00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:52.720
<v Speaker 3>typically gravitate towards unless I'm like super in love with

262
00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:56.559
<v Speaker 3>the book. Now, my one problem is that I have

263
00:19:56.799 --> 00:19:59.720
<v Speaker 3>issues in all my books have to match in a series.

264
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:06.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So now it's it's a little bit of OCD

265
00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:08.680
<v Speaker 2>for a lot of people who do collect books.

266
00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:11.440
<v Speaker 4>So it's that joke of.

267
00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:15.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like my Shield one, you know, yeah, you gotta

268
00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:16.200
<v Speaker 2>buy it a fread, you know.

269
00:20:17.119 --> 00:20:20.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you know. But yeah, because like Rights of Starling

270
00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:25.480
<v Speaker 3>is book two, they didn't make a standard edition. They

271
00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:29.720
<v Speaker 3>only made the sprayed edges. Yeah, and so I bought

272
00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:32.319
<v Speaker 3>Shield of Sparrows because I fell in love with Rates

273
00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:34.079
<v Speaker 3>and Starling. So I was like, okay, I need Rates

274
00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:37.839
<v Speaker 3>in Starling, but then I also need book one. Book

275
00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:43.160
<v Speaker 3>one only came with plane edges, so it's like shame, shame.

276
00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:46.759
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I'm sure as soon as the anniversary comes up,

277
00:20:46.839 --> 00:20:49.920
<v Speaker 2>they'll they'll throw out a spray Edges one for sure.

278
00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:54.839
<v Speaker 4>Now our final small.

279
00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:58.359
<v Speaker 3>Topic, well, hang on because I did find I was

280
00:20:58.440 --> 00:21:04.160
<v Speaker 3>looking at the Utenei release schedule and there's another paper

281
00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:09.480
<v Speaker 3>Cuts graphic novel being released and it's actually coming out

282
00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:15.119
<v Speaker 3>July twenty first six, and it's by Delilah S. Dawson,

283
00:21:16.119 --> 00:21:19.519
<v Speaker 3>who we love as an author. But this is actually

284
00:21:20.079 --> 00:21:28.400
<v Speaker 3>a Mandalarian and Grogu prequel graphic novel where the Anzellins,

285
00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:36.240
<v Speaker 3>Mando and Grogu have to join together to stop a

286
00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:39.960
<v Speaker 3>hidden danger that looms deep beneath the surface of Navarro

287
00:21:43.079 --> 00:21:47.200
<v Speaker 3>says Denjarn and his foundly venture into the lava tubes

288
00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:50.559
<v Speaker 3>underneath the city to diffuse a crashed pirate ship, facing

289
00:21:50.599 --> 00:21:54.720
<v Speaker 3>creepy creatures and periless obstacles along the way, but with

290
00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:57.480
<v Speaker 3>the planet safety on the line, can Grogust learn to

291
00:21:57.519 --> 00:22:00.960
<v Speaker 3>listen to Mando's guidance and can man do balance teaching

292
00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:05.480
<v Speaker 3>Grogu with letting the little guys lead? So it looks

293
00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:15.079
<v Speaker 3>like art is by Mario del Panino and Ariana Fluorine.

294
00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:20.880
<v Speaker 4>This looks to be now. Uh it does say.

295
00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Issue one, but these are usually graphic novels, so it's

296
00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:31.160
<v Speaker 2>probably only going to be one.

297
00:22:32.279 --> 00:22:33.559
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it says graphic novel.

298
00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:40.079
<v Speaker 2>So but the really cool thing about paper Cuts, which

299
00:22:40.119 --> 00:22:42.039
<v Speaker 2>is kind of why I love them so much because

300
00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:49.960
<v Speaker 2>they're graphic novels, they're also doing alternate covers. So I

301
00:22:50.000 --> 00:23:06.119
<v Speaker 2>will actually share my screen here and show you guys.

302
00:23:08.519 --> 00:23:15.559
<v Speaker 2>This is cover a by Brent's shoon Over.

303
00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:18.079
<v Speaker 4>Let's just.

304
00:23:20.640 --> 00:23:22.680
<v Speaker 3>That's a six ninety nine, which makes me think it

305
00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:23.920
<v Speaker 3>is a singular issue.

306
00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:32.720
<v Speaker 2>Uh, they may have changed their format, but this is

307
00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:40.039
<v Speaker 2>coming from the paper Cuts website because this isn't Yeah,

308
00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:44.279
<v Speaker 2>it's original one shot comic. Okay, so it is. It

309
00:23:44.359 --> 00:23:50.759
<v Speaker 2>is a small forty page. So so you have Brent Schooner,

310
00:23:52.279 --> 00:23:57.279
<v Speaker 2>then you have Ariana Florine on cover B. Then you

311
00:23:57.440 --> 00:24:04.960
<v Speaker 2>have Raymond russ Onas on cover C, which I think

312
00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:09.200
<v Speaker 2>this is my favorite one, and then you have cover D.

313
00:24:09.960 --> 00:24:11.039
<v Speaker 4>Juni Bah.

314
00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Is more of like an action cover with yeah lava

315
00:24:16.720 --> 00:24:20.960
<v Speaker 2>and them swinging over it. I think Cover C is

316
00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:24.119
<v Speaker 2>my favorite. It looks very cartoonish, very silly.

317
00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:25.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

318
00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:29.039
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, I I love paper Cuts. I've gushed about

319
00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:29.519
<v Speaker 4>them before.

320
00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:34.880
<v Speaker 2>I've worked with them several times in my previous job.

321
00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:41.920
<v Speaker 2>Really great company and I will always shout them out

322
00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:44.359
<v Speaker 2>when I can. But yeah, oven that they're doing more

323
00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:46.319
<v Speaker 2>Star Wars content. Yeah.

324
00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:52.839
<v Speaker 3>So the other piece is that Hyperspace Stories Mace has

325
00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:58.559
<v Speaker 3>gotten a release date. Oh and this is as a reminder.

326
00:24:58.640 --> 00:25:01.720
<v Speaker 3>This is by just you Know Ireland. The art is

327
00:25:01.799 --> 00:25:10.880
<v Speaker 3>by Jorge Duarte. I want to say, and this is

328
00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:15.119
<v Speaker 3>available on Amazon, but uh, this is a trade paperback.

329
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:17.759
<v Speaker 3>This was a big announcement in like I think twenty

330
00:25:17.839 --> 00:25:20.880
<v Speaker 3>twenty two that dark Horse was going to start doing

331
00:25:20.920 --> 00:25:25.160
<v Speaker 3>this and then they all proceeded to get delayed. So

332
00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:32.519
<v Speaker 3>this is Justina Ireland's last Star Wars work that is

333
00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:34.920
<v Speaker 3>in the work. She said that she was done with

334
00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:37.640
<v Speaker 3>Star Wars after this. We don't know if that like, hey,

335
00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:39.680
<v Speaker 3>we're taking a break from Star Wars or just done

336
00:25:39.759 --> 00:25:46.720
<v Speaker 3>done in general. So definitely will be a pickup for

337
00:25:46.799 --> 00:25:49.359
<v Speaker 3>me because I'm excited to see her get to write

338
00:25:49.960 --> 00:25:50.559
<v Speaker 3>Mace Findu.

339
00:25:51.519 --> 00:25:57.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and we've we enjoyed the other two Hyperspace stories

340
00:25:57.759 --> 00:26:01.920
<v Speaker 2>with being Grievous and Quai gon In. They were relatively

341
00:26:02.559 --> 00:26:04.519
<v Speaker 2>they were just there was there was there was small

342
00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:09.839
<v Speaker 2>little grapes that we had, but you know, they were still,

343
00:26:10.200 --> 00:26:14.720
<v Speaker 2>like you said, decently written and and uh and created.

344
00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:20.000
<v Speaker 4>So looking forward to it. Anything else on the book side.

345
00:26:19.799 --> 00:26:22.319
<v Speaker 3>Of things, Nope, that's it. So all we got left

346
00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:25.039
<v Speaker 3>to talk about is box office.

347
00:26:24.920 --> 00:26:28.160
<v Speaker 4>Box office for the Mandalorian in Grogu.

348
00:26:28.319 --> 00:26:31.799
<v Speaker 2>Now, Katie, we had a conversation the last time we

349
00:26:31.839 --> 00:26:35.079
<v Speaker 2>spoke on this on if this movie was.

350
00:26:35.039 --> 00:26:38.720
<v Speaker 4>Going to hit five hundred million.

351
00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:40.839
<v Speaker 3>We said, it's not going to hit five hundred.

352
00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:44.160
<v Speaker 4>We both agreed on that. We said it wasn't going

353
00:26:44.200 --> 00:26:45.079
<v Speaker 4>to hit five hundred.

354
00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:49.720
<v Speaker 3>You said it wasn't going to hit three hundred.

355
00:26:50.119 --> 00:26:53.920
<v Speaker 2>It hit three hundred, It hit three hundred. It's not

356
00:26:54.119 --> 00:26:58.799
<v Speaker 2>hitting four. I don't know if it's going to hit

357
00:26:58.880 --> 00:27:02.920
<v Speaker 2>for It is currently at three hundred and sixteen million,

358
00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:07.640
<v Speaker 2>six hundred and forty four thousand, fifty eight dollars on

359
00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:10.599
<v Speaker 2>its twenty technically twenty seventh day.

360
00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:23.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's still top. Like it just fell out of

361
00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:26.759
<v Speaker 3>the top five at the box office. In this past week.

362
00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:32.599
<v Speaker 3>It didn't experience as drastic of drop. It It was

363
00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:35.519
<v Speaker 3>like holding a little more steady because I think so

364
00:27:35.680 --> 00:27:38.799
<v Speaker 3>week two at the box office it dropped seventy percent,

365
00:27:39.240 --> 00:27:42.799
<v Speaker 3>Week three it dropped fifty percent, So not as I

366
00:27:42.960 --> 00:27:48.440
<v Speaker 3>have a drop, not as bad. Yeah, Internationally, we've got

367
00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:51.119
<v Speaker 3>one hundred and fifty thousand dollars or one hundred and

368
00:27:51.119 --> 00:27:56.200
<v Speaker 3>fifty million dollars, excuse me. And then domestically we've got

369
00:27:56.200 --> 00:28:00.279
<v Speaker 3>one hundred and sixty six Sorry, that's that's my mother's dog.

370
00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:01.240
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if you.

371
00:28:01.200 --> 00:28:03.319
<v Speaker 4>Hear him that. It's hilarious.

372
00:28:05.240 --> 00:28:09.240
<v Speaker 3>He likes to get light outside and then everybody he

373
00:28:09.240 --> 00:28:12.359
<v Speaker 3>he thinks everybody left him. Anyways, domestic we have one

374
00:28:12.440 --> 00:28:18.119
<v Speaker 3>hundred and sixty six point six million dollars. I can

375
00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:22.519
<v Speaker 3>see through fifty. I don't see four hundred at this point.

376
00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:24.839
<v Speaker 2>I don't see four hundred either and the reason being

377
00:28:25.759 --> 00:28:33.799
<v Speaker 2>is tomorrow you have the start of Toy Story.

378
00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:37.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, you have Toy Stories start tomorrow, then you.

379
00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:40.119
<v Speaker 4>Have superl is Supergirl.

380
00:28:40.160 --> 00:28:42.359
<v Speaker 3>And then after that is Odyssey.

381
00:28:43.359 --> 00:28:48.519
<v Speaker 2>You have Odyssey and then next month, guys, I don't

382
00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:50.079
<v Speaker 2>know if you knew this, Katie.

383
00:28:51.799 --> 00:28:54.119
<v Speaker 4>Spider Man Spider Man spider Man.

384
00:28:54.039 --> 00:28:59.480
<v Speaker 2>Trailer dropped with the uh ticket sales being open mm hmm.

385
00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:07.400
<v Speaker 2>I in good favor of Star Wars Alliance cannot go

386
00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:10.079
<v Speaker 2>to the Wednesday showing because we record on Wednesdays and

387
00:29:11.559 --> 00:29:17.559
<v Speaker 2>the Wednesday showing is at seven pm, so could not

388
00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:25.400
<v Speaker 2>could not go there. All of the Wednesday and all

389
00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:29.960
<v Speaker 2>of the Thursday showings are all sold out.

390
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:33.119
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, we knew, We knew Spider Man was gonna

391
00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:33.960
<v Speaker 3>was gonna show.

392
00:29:34.039 --> 00:29:43.359
<v Speaker 2>So I think Mandalorian Grogu probably should kind of and

393
00:29:43.440 --> 00:29:47.079
<v Speaker 2>it I know it's not going to be, but realistically

394
00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:50.279
<v Speaker 2>probably should be out of the conversation by this week

395
00:29:50.640 --> 00:29:55.559
<v Speaker 2>with with Toy Story because then it's just so many

396
00:29:55.640 --> 00:29:59.839
<v Speaker 2>big movies at the end of the summer that it

397
00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:01.319
<v Speaker 2>that's coming out.

398
00:30:01.839 --> 00:30:05.359
<v Speaker 3>Let's see in my area, there's one theater in my

399
00:30:05.680 --> 00:30:12.119
<v Speaker 3>in my new area. Guys, let's see the Thursday, if

400
00:30:12.200 --> 00:30:19.839
<v Speaker 3>I were to go see it at nine thirty is

401
00:30:19.960 --> 00:30:24.400
<v Speaker 3>still no, it's not sold out at all whatsoever. There's

402
00:30:24.519 --> 00:30:27.680
<v Speaker 3>like three there's three seats taken in the nine thirty

403
00:30:27.720 --> 00:30:29.279
<v Speaker 3>see seven.

404
00:30:29.240 --> 00:30:30.880
<v Speaker 4>I say sold out.

405
00:30:31.480 --> 00:30:33.960
<v Speaker 2>All of the like first showings of the day are

406
00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:37.759
<v Speaker 2>sold out because of course, everybody wants to be the

407
00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:41.119
<v Speaker 2>first one to watch it, because nobody wants to be spoiled.

408
00:30:42.920 --> 00:30:46.319
<v Speaker 2>And that's usually how I go about things, as I

409
00:30:46.359 --> 00:30:51.079
<v Speaker 2>try to go to the very first showing of whatever

410
00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:57.039
<v Speaker 2>it is, with the current situation of me moving and

411
00:30:57.039 --> 00:31:01.119
<v Speaker 2>everything else, I was like, hey, we're gonna be spending

412
00:31:01.160 --> 00:31:06.720
<v Speaker 2>a crep ton of money on gas all the way

413
00:31:06.759 --> 00:31:08.079
<v Speaker 2>to Texas.

414
00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:12.160
<v Speaker 4>So I'm like, hey, I'm just gonna wait until the

415
00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:17.759
<v Speaker 4>day and if or or even like maybe in like

416
00:31:17.799 --> 00:31:18.799
<v Speaker 4>two weeks.

417
00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:22.359
<v Speaker 2>If I just buy like the last showing of the

418
00:31:22.400 --> 00:31:26.039
<v Speaker 2>first day, yeah, I think I'll be fine.

419
00:31:27.119 --> 00:31:28.880
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, yeah, uh.

420
00:31:28.759 --> 00:31:32.279
<v Speaker 2>Mandalorian Grogu had a good run.

421
00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:34.880
<v Speaker 4>With it.

422
00:31:35.599 --> 00:31:41.359
<v Speaker 2>Possibly, you know, Katie just said three point fifty. I'm

423
00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:49.039
<v Speaker 2>gonna say, with it only making eight hundred and sixty

424
00:31:49.119 --> 00:31:54.640
<v Speaker 2>five thousand dollars yesterday, you.

425
00:31:54.640 --> 00:31:56.160
<v Speaker 3>Gotta say three twenty five.

426
00:31:59.160 --> 00:32:07.720
<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna say three twenty five possible. What is the

427
00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:12.200
<v Speaker 4>usual theater run for these movies.

428
00:32:11.960 --> 00:32:15.079
<v Speaker 3>Nowadays forty five to sixty days.

429
00:32:15.079 --> 00:32:18.640
<v Speaker 4>Forty five to sixty days. Ooh, so it might, it might,

430
00:32:18.720 --> 00:32:20.039
<v Speaker 4>Actually it might.

431
00:32:20.680 --> 00:32:21.759
<v Speaker 3>I can see three fifty.

432
00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:27.200
<v Speaker 2>So if that's the case, let's say that eight sixty

433
00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:34.480
<v Speaker 2>five eighty five, eight sixty five eighty five is the

434
00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:39.960
<v Speaker 2>new normal for the remaining twenty days, because it's on

435
00:32:40.119 --> 00:32:42.839
<v Speaker 2>day twenty seven now, so forty five days. Let's say

436
00:32:42.880 --> 00:32:50.599
<v Speaker 2>that that's an additional seventeen million, and it is currently

437
00:32:51.480 --> 00:32:59.039
<v Speaker 2>three hundred and sixteen million. Ooh, that's three hundred and

438
00:32:59.160 --> 00:33:04.920
<v Speaker 2>thirty three million. Yeah, So it has to stay consistent

439
00:33:06.559 --> 00:33:10.200
<v Speaker 2>mm hmm with eight hundred and sixty five thousand dollars

440
00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:15.079
<v Speaker 2>a day for the next twenty days to get past

441
00:33:15.599 --> 00:33:16.640
<v Speaker 2>three hundred and thirty.

442
00:33:17.160 --> 00:33:20.200
<v Speaker 3>But remember, your weekends are going to be higher. We

443
00:33:20.200 --> 00:33:20.640
<v Speaker 3>we thks are.

444
00:33:20.599 --> 00:33:23.240
<v Speaker 2>Going to be a little higher. So technically, looking at

445
00:33:23.279 --> 00:33:30.480
<v Speaker 2>the weekend on Saturday and Sunday, it made uh more

446
00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:41.039
<v Speaker 2>than one point five million, yeah, and both on both

447
00:33:41.039 --> 00:33:44.279
<v Speaker 2>Saturday and Sunday, so you have you still have those

448
00:33:44.400 --> 00:33:47.960
<v Speaker 2>those those little spikes, So it's.

449
00:33:47.799 --> 00:33:50.359
<v Speaker 4>Possible it's totally possible to get three fifty.

450
00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:53.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And I think some of the things that people

451
00:33:53.599 --> 00:34:00.400
<v Speaker 3>aren't necessarily bringing into consideration with this movie is the

452
00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:04.599
<v Speaker 3>merchandise sale. You paid how much to manufacture merchandise, and

453
00:34:04.640 --> 00:34:10.519
<v Speaker 3>you're gonna profit roughly three hundred percent probably off the merchandise.

454
00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:18.480
<v Speaker 3>So box office is one thing, your merchandise is another. Yeah,

455
00:34:18.559 --> 00:34:22.079
<v Speaker 3>I think it's gonna be fine. They might over knowing Disney,

456
00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:25.679
<v Speaker 3>they'll still probably overreact, but you know.

457
00:34:27.679 --> 00:34:33.519
<v Speaker 2>We'll see, we'll see, all right. Well, that takes us

458
00:34:33.559 --> 00:34:38.840
<v Speaker 2>to our main topic today being Star Wars Volume one.

459
00:34:38.920 --> 00:34:45.199
<v Speaker 2>This is the twenty twenty five series, issues one through ten, Katie,

460
00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:46.400
<v Speaker 2>and this.

461
00:34:46.400 --> 00:34:51.239
<v Speaker 3>Was written by Alex Sigura, who wrote the Battle of

462
00:34:51.320 --> 00:34:56.159
<v Speaker 3>Jack Who Yes Volume, So a lot of the characters

463
00:34:56.199 --> 00:34:59.000
<v Speaker 3>and everything in here. This is kind of like Battle

464
00:34:59.000 --> 00:35:01.679
<v Speaker 3>of Jack Who Volume but they didn't want to call

465
00:35:01.719 --> 00:35:07.719
<v Speaker 3>it that. So your artists philm Noto does one through

466
00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:11.280
<v Speaker 3>six in the free Comic Book Day issue, Pete Woods

467
00:35:11.760 --> 00:35:17.719
<v Speaker 3>does seven and eight, Ramon Rosanas does issue nine, and

468
00:35:17.840 --> 00:35:22.280
<v Speaker 3>Luke Ross does issue ten. Your color artists are film

469
00:35:22.360 --> 00:35:26.920
<v Speaker 3>Noo for the previously stated comics, Pete Woods for seven

470
00:35:26.960 --> 00:35:30.719
<v Speaker 3>and eight, and Chris Soto mayor for nine and ten.

471
00:35:31.239 --> 00:35:35.880
<v Speaker 3>Your letter is VC's Clayton Cowell's cover art is film Noo,

472
00:35:36.079 --> 00:35:40.480
<v Speaker 3>and the assistant editors Mikey J. Basso and Drew Baumgartner.

473
00:35:41.039 --> 00:35:48.679
<v Speaker 3>Editor is Mark Panacea or Panccia. I will say the

474
00:35:48.880 --> 00:35:54.760
<v Speaker 3>art for issue seven and eight. I very much disliked.

475
00:35:55.559 --> 00:35:56.639
<v Speaker 4>It was so jarring.

476
00:35:58.719 --> 00:36:01.960
<v Speaker 2>It was it was so because I was I was

477
00:36:01.960 --> 00:36:05.159
<v Speaker 2>on the app reading this, so I'm just reading one.

478
00:36:05.039 --> 00:36:06.719
<v Speaker 4>Through six, Okay, okay.

479
00:36:07.119 --> 00:36:14.280
<v Speaker 2>The moment I opened seven, I had Now let me

480
00:36:14.360 --> 00:36:17.639
<v Speaker 2>go ahead and say before I say this comment seven

481
00:36:17.679 --> 00:36:24.880
<v Speaker 2>and eight. If the book started with that art, yes,

482
00:36:24.920 --> 00:36:29.079
<v Speaker 2>it would have been great. Going from issue six to

483
00:36:29.199 --> 00:36:33.960
<v Speaker 2>issue seven, I had the most disgusted look on my face.

484
00:36:34.199 --> 00:36:39.320
<v Speaker 3>Because I mean, the dang screen, it's this, It's Luke

485
00:36:39.360 --> 00:36:41.280
<v Speaker 3>Skywalker with purple eyes.

486
00:36:41.679 --> 00:36:42.800
<v Speaker 4>I will bring it up.

487
00:36:42.840 --> 00:36:45.119
<v Speaker 2>I will bring it up because I will bring it

488
00:36:45.199 --> 00:36:48.960
<v Speaker 2>up on my Marble and limited issue number seven.

489
00:36:51.000 --> 00:36:55.360
<v Speaker 4>Let's see here, Where are we at? Where are we at?

490
00:36:55.480 --> 00:36:59.480
<v Speaker 3>It's still And also like some of the art with Leah,

491
00:37:01.199 --> 00:37:04.639
<v Speaker 3>I get that Leah has all these different hair styles.

492
00:37:05.239 --> 00:37:09.039
<v Speaker 2>When when they opened up her in the blue dress

493
00:37:09.400 --> 00:37:14.719
<v Speaker 2>with her wedding hair, yeah, I said no. I said,

494
00:37:14.800 --> 00:37:18.679
<v Speaker 2>nahuh no, you can't. You can't discontinue continuity like that.

495
00:37:19.400 --> 00:37:23.239
<v Speaker 2>The continuity of the entire series had her in her

496
00:37:24.039 --> 00:37:25.840
<v Speaker 2>her top ponytail hair.

497
00:37:26.760 --> 00:37:28.159
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and.

498
00:37:29.760 --> 00:37:36.199
<v Speaker 2>I very much disliked it. I said, nahuh mm hmmm, So.

499
00:37:43.280 --> 00:37:45.199
<v Speaker 3>It was it was super strange.

500
00:37:45.480 --> 00:37:47.920
<v Speaker 4>And this photo right here.

501
00:37:47.880 --> 00:37:53.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, purple eye Luke Skywalker mm hmm. And it's purple

502
00:37:53.039 --> 00:37:55.920
<v Speaker 3>there right, It's not just like the way mine was printed.

503
00:37:57.039 --> 00:38:04.880
<v Speaker 2>It's I can see like a hint of blue that's purple.

504
00:38:05.519 --> 00:38:08.599
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, no, it looks very purple. And I think

505
00:38:08.599 --> 00:38:10.920
<v Speaker 2>it's because of the way he wanted to do the lighting.

506
00:38:13.599 --> 00:38:20.000
<v Speaker 2>But there's also issue number.

507
00:38:21.239 --> 00:38:21.800
<v Speaker 4>Is it eight.

508
00:38:23.480 --> 00:38:27.519
<v Speaker 3>I'm also very attached to Philonoo as an artist. I

509
00:38:27.559 --> 00:38:31.119
<v Speaker 3>think he did an incredible job. He does an incredible

510
00:38:31.199 --> 00:38:34.039
<v Speaker 3>job with the covers, and so getting to see him

511
00:38:34.159 --> 00:38:38.199
<v Speaker 3>do the actual art on the page was really really

512
00:38:38.559 --> 00:38:39.239
<v Speaker 3>I loved it.

513
00:38:39.840 --> 00:38:45.840
<v Speaker 4>I really really enjoyed it. That was like, okay, so

514
00:38:47.679 --> 00:38:49.519
<v Speaker 4>this is the moment where I bashed the book.

515
00:38:49.599 --> 00:38:59.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry this there's a reason. Okay, hold on, let

516
00:38:59.760 --> 00:39:03.760
<v Speaker 2>me let me grab all my thoughts because this is

517
00:39:03.880 --> 00:39:08.639
<v Speaker 2>more going to be a stab at Marvel, not at

518
00:39:09.039 --> 00:39:16.079
<v Speaker 2>Star Wars Marvel, And this is happening across multiple comics

519
00:39:16.159 --> 00:39:18.159
<v Speaker 2>right now. It's not just Star Wars.

520
00:39:20.480 --> 00:39:22.719
<v Speaker 4>Marvel. If you.

521
00:39:24.440 --> 00:39:30.079
<v Speaker 2>Want a book to be out in an ongoing series,

522
00:39:33.559 --> 00:39:40.400
<v Speaker 2>you need to release an ongoing series. You cannot decide

523
00:39:40.960 --> 00:39:46.000
<v Speaker 2>on issue seven. Oh, well, this is a penny short

524
00:39:46.079 --> 00:39:50.079
<v Speaker 2>of making my Giant Bank account even richer. So I'm

525
00:39:50.119 --> 00:39:54.360
<v Speaker 2>gonna go ahead and cancel it. That is bullshit.

526
00:39:55.000 --> 00:39:56.400
<v Speaker 4>Sorry, it is.

527
00:39:57.400 --> 00:40:07.760
<v Speaker 2>You can definitely tell at issue seven. Oh they are

528
00:40:08.519 --> 00:40:12.760
<v Speaker 2>now instantly rushing this entire story.

529
00:40:13.880 --> 00:40:18.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's very clear that this was set up for

530
00:40:19.119 --> 00:40:22.519
<v Speaker 3>the long term, and I love what Alex Sigora was

531
00:40:22.599 --> 00:40:25.719
<v Speaker 3>able to write in this and try to make it work.

532
00:40:25.840 --> 00:40:29.880
<v Speaker 3>I think issues one through six are phenomenal and a

533
00:40:29.960 --> 00:40:35.480
<v Speaker 3>really good set up point for an ongoing series. The

534
00:40:35.679 --> 00:40:39.679
<v Speaker 3>minute this was cut, you can tell. And it's like,

535
00:40:40.000 --> 00:40:44.559
<v Speaker 3>immediately tell it, because remember when this was announced, we

536
00:40:44.559 --> 00:40:48.159
<v Speaker 3>were like, Okay, ongoing series, cool, Alex Sigora is taking

537
00:40:48.159 --> 00:40:52.079
<v Speaker 3>over the ongoing series for Star Wars, like because that's

538
00:40:52.119 --> 00:40:54.320
<v Speaker 3>just what it's called and stuff.

539
00:40:55.599 --> 00:40:58.119
<v Speaker 2>But like I said, this is also happening with other stories.

540
00:40:59.360 --> 00:41:04.639
<v Speaker 2>They announced a new ongoing x men A couple months ago,

541
00:41:05.320 --> 00:41:09.159
<v Speaker 2>almost a year ago now that is also ending at

542
00:41:09.199 --> 00:41:19.840
<v Speaker 2>issue ten yeap. These publishers, and I saw somebody, and

543
00:41:19.880 --> 00:41:22.559
<v Speaker 2>this is more so on the back end of stuff.

544
00:41:24.079 --> 00:41:31.800
<v Speaker 2>I follow a lot of my fellow comic book individuals,

545
00:41:31.840 --> 00:41:35.960
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the higher publishers, the CEOs, all of

546
00:41:36.000 --> 00:41:40.440
<v Speaker 2>the big wigs in the industry. And I'm not saying

547
00:41:40.440 --> 00:41:43.000
<v Speaker 2>that to be like ahaha, It's just the way my

548
00:41:43.119 --> 00:41:45.519
<v Speaker 2>job was back in the day, and of course what

549
00:41:45.559 --> 00:41:46.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying.

550
00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:47.360
<v Speaker 4>To do with volume comics.

551
00:41:47.800 --> 00:41:53.159
<v Speaker 2>So I'm in the conversation with everybody, and I saw

552
00:41:53.199 --> 00:41:58.000
<v Speaker 2>somebody say like, oh, you know, it's very unfortunate, but

553
00:41:58.960 --> 00:42:06.840
<v Speaker 2>the way that comic books are created is essentially these

554
00:42:06.880 --> 00:42:12.599
<v Speaker 2>publishers are gambling. They are needing to make these very

555
00:42:12.679 --> 00:42:20.079
<v Speaker 2>quick decision aka bets on series and they either come

556
00:42:20.119 --> 00:42:24.599
<v Speaker 2>out very well or they don't. And it's not all cutting,

557
00:42:24.920 --> 00:42:29.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, cut and dry. And I understand that to

558
00:42:29.400 --> 00:42:34.840
<v Speaker 2>a point. If you are going to be a publisher

559
00:42:35.599 --> 00:42:40.239
<v Speaker 2>and willing to say hey, especially as big as Marvel,

560
00:42:40.320 --> 00:42:44.079
<v Speaker 2>because Marvel, yeah sorry, you have literally no excuse as

561
00:42:44.079 --> 00:42:45.199
<v Speaker 2>far as the money goes.

562
00:42:46.599 --> 00:42:50.079
<v Speaker 3>No, And it, like like you said, it boils down

563
00:42:50.119 --> 00:42:55.519
<v Speaker 3>to like the money, but also like today's culture, like

564
00:42:55.679 --> 00:43:00.360
<v Speaker 3>everyone and everybody that doesn't make sense. Everyone and everything

565
00:43:00.559 --> 00:43:03.599
<v Speaker 3>is trying to go viral right now to catch the

566
00:43:03.639 --> 00:43:06.800
<v Speaker 3>next big thing, and so people are like, if you

567
00:43:06.880 --> 00:43:10.639
<v Speaker 3>can't catch attention in the first ten seconds of a read,

568
00:43:11.519 --> 00:43:14.840
<v Speaker 3>you're pointless. I should have never published you. Basically is

569
00:43:14.880 --> 00:43:18.599
<v Speaker 3>what it boils down to from the executive side of things.

570
00:43:18.639 --> 00:43:23.719
<v Speaker 3>And it's dumb because people people need time to get

571
00:43:23.760 --> 00:43:27.400
<v Speaker 3>into things. People need to be able to read, people

572
00:43:27.440 --> 00:43:29.679
<v Speaker 3>need to be able to watch and say, you know what,

573
00:43:29.719 --> 00:43:32.079
<v Speaker 3>I want more of this, and so we get the

574
00:43:32.119 --> 00:43:35.119
<v Speaker 3>second season, we get more issues of the comic and

575
00:43:35.159 --> 00:43:37.719
<v Speaker 3>that's just people are dumb nowadays.

576
00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:43.639
<v Speaker 2>But in a very serious conversation also, especially with the

577
00:43:43.719 --> 00:43:50.039
<v Speaker 2>last two years and for right now continuously because we

578
00:43:50.079 --> 00:43:54.719
<v Speaker 2>don't know when this is going to end, there is

579
00:43:54.760 --> 00:44:01.599
<v Speaker 2>a very serious conversation with hey, people are needing to

580
00:44:01.719 --> 00:44:05.360
<v Speaker 2>choose wisely on am I going to pick up the

581
00:44:05.400 --> 00:44:08.960
<v Speaker 2>next Star Wars issue or I'm am I going to

582
00:44:09.000 --> 00:44:14.840
<v Speaker 2>buy food for the week? M and comic book publishers

583
00:44:15.280 --> 00:44:22.000
<v Speaker 2>need to not be brain dead on this conversation. It's

584
00:44:22.760 --> 00:44:26.760
<v Speaker 2>for one, canceling a book means that you're canceling a

585
00:44:26.800 --> 00:44:29.480
<v Speaker 2>contract with a writer, you are now taking that writer

586
00:44:29.679 --> 00:44:34.519
<v Speaker 2>off of a job in a economy that is very hurting.

587
00:44:35.159 --> 00:44:40.159
<v Speaker 2>And these writers were already struggling before this economy was

588
00:44:40.199 --> 00:44:43.239
<v Speaker 2>starting to get to where it is today, and now

589
00:44:43.280 --> 00:44:45.159
<v Speaker 2>you're kicking them off of books.

590
00:44:45.960 --> 00:44:47.800
<v Speaker 4>Not a great book, not a.

591
00:44:47.719 --> 00:44:55.239
<v Speaker 2>Great you know, a business yeah, style for these publishers.

592
00:44:55.800 --> 00:44:59.519
<v Speaker 3>And I think like, especially as somebody who prefers the

593
00:44:59.559 --> 00:45:04.000
<v Speaker 3>graphic novel, I think that's also something that comic publishers

594
00:45:04.039 --> 00:45:08.760
<v Speaker 3>should take into consideration, is there's a lot less people nowadays.

595
00:45:08.800 --> 00:45:11.840
<v Speaker 3>I feel like, who what the single issue comic on

596
00:45:11.880 --> 00:45:16.920
<v Speaker 3>their shelves? Like, yes, it's great, but you know, you know,

597
00:45:17.000 --> 00:45:20.320
<v Speaker 3>Mike Toddler can tear into this book and this is

598
00:45:20.360 --> 00:45:22.239
<v Speaker 3>a lot harder than a single issue.

599
00:45:22.719 --> 00:45:28.760
<v Speaker 2>But that conversation is an entirely different conversation. It's something

600
00:45:28.920 --> 00:45:33.559
<v Speaker 2>that the publishers will definitely need a little bit more

601
00:45:33.559 --> 00:45:38.280
<v Speaker 2>time with, which is stupid, I understand. Like, for instance,

602
00:45:45.880 --> 00:45:49.480
<v Speaker 2>Marvel and DC. I think Marvel is very new to

603
00:45:49.519 --> 00:45:52.599
<v Speaker 2>it right now, whereas DZ has been doing it for

604
00:45:52.679 --> 00:45:57.679
<v Speaker 2>the past three years. The compact comics is something that

605
00:45:57.760 --> 00:46:00.360
<v Speaker 2>Marvel or sorry that DC has been doing for quite

606
00:46:00.360 --> 00:46:04.760
<v Speaker 2>some time, Like I said, three years, Compact Comics, they

607
00:46:04.800 --> 00:46:13.039
<v Speaker 2>are essentially trying to do what the Asian countries are

608
00:46:13.039 --> 00:46:20.519
<v Speaker 2>doing for manga. So weekly shown in jump issues. So

609
00:46:21.320 --> 00:46:27.320
<v Speaker 2>let's take a very famous manga. Let's say.

610
00:46:29.199 --> 00:46:30.320
<v Speaker 3>My hero Academia.

611
00:46:30.679 --> 00:46:35.920
<v Speaker 2>My hero Academia. Okay, that is already over, but it

612
00:46:36.039 --> 00:46:39.559
<v Speaker 2>was being published in a magazine.

613
00:46:39.280 --> 00:46:40.280
<v Speaker 4>That is weekly.

614
00:46:40.840 --> 00:46:43.800
<v Speaker 2>So there was a new issue of My hero Academia

615
00:46:44.239 --> 00:46:49.760
<v Speaker 2>every week, whereas in comics Star Wars would be coming

616
00:46:49.800 --> 00:46:54.079
<v Speaker 2>out every month. Okay, yeah, so there's a difference there. Again,

617
00:46:54.519 --> 00:46:58.639
<v Speaker 2>manga is in black and white American comics and color.

618
00:46:58.639 --> 00:46:59.800
<v Speaker 4>There's a whole process to it.

619
00:47:00.719 --> 00:47:03.599
<v Speaker 2>But the weekly Shun and Jump comes out every week,

620
00:47:05.159 --> 00:47:11.199
<v Speaker 2>and then they would put their volumes in a small

621
00:47:12.280 --> 00:47:20.480
<v Speaker 2>compacted book that is very very cheap. DC finally started

622
00:47:20.519 --> 00:47:26.079
<v Speaker 2>copying this mentality and started calling them Compact Comics.

623
00:47:26.480 --> 00:47:27.840
<v Speaker 4>And what they did is they got.

624
00:47:27.639 --> 00:47:34.800
<v Speaker 2>Their top fifty graphic novels, okay, and they started to

625
00:47:35.159 --> 00:47:43.039
<v Speaker 2>collect them in small compacted Yeah, graphic novels. It's cheaper paper,

626
00:47:43.719 --> 00:47:48.000
<v Speaker 2>so that way they are able to make the price

627
00:47:48.079 --> 00:47:52.559
<v Speaker 2>tag smaller. So normal graphic novels can be anywhere between

628
00:47:53.079 --> 00:47:57.840
<v Speaker 2>fifteen ninety nine to as high as thirty dollars, depending

629
00:47:57.880 --> 00:47:59.960
<v Speaker 2>on the card stock, depending on the hardcover.

630
00:48:00.239 --> 00:48:01.000
<v Speaker 4>All of that stuff.

631
00:48:01.079 --> 00:48:09.119
<v Speaker 2>Right, Compact comics are ten dollars, it's nine ninety nine.

632
00:48:09.440 --> 00:48:14.159
<v Speaker 2>And it's because they noticed, Hey, a lot of people

633
00:48:14.199 --> 00:48:18.679
<v Speaker 2>are already just waiting for the volume, So why don't

634
00:48:18.679 --> 00:48:23.880
<v Speaker 2>we create something that they're already looking for, a cheap

635
00:48:23.960 --> 00:48:26.599
<v Speaker 2>way to just carry around these books and read them

636
00:48:26.599 --> 00:48:32.280
<v Speaker 2>on the go and everything else. They need to hurry

637
00:48:32.360 --> 00:48:39.440
<v Speaker 2>up and get to a point where they're doing this

638
00:48:40.039 --> 00:48:43.599
<v Speaker 2>for modern stuff that's coming out right yep.

639
00:48:45.599 --> 00:48:52.840
<v Speaker 4>And I think what they need to do is maybe just.

640
00:48:54.880 --> 00:48:57.239
<v Speaker 2>I keep I'm so used to the camera being right here.

641
00:48:58.000 --> 00:48:59.719
<v Speaker 2>I keep looking right here at the camera. The camera

642
00:48:59.800 --> 00:49:04.039
<v Speaker 2>is now over here. Marvel, DC, all of the publishers

643
00:49:04.039 --> 00:49:07.800
<v Speaker 2>that are currently out there in America. I don't care

644
00:49:08.039 --> 00:49:13.320
<v Speaker 2>if you're copying their homework. Start making your comics in

645
00:49:13.440 --> 00:49:21.079
<v Speaker 2>black and white, make your ink and color versions.

646
00:49:23.639 --> 00:49:24.719
<v Speaker 4>As a premium.

647
00:49:26.119 --> 00:49:28.320
<v Speaker 2>To make it the same price as you always do.

648
00:49:28.679 --> 00:49:31.480
<v Speaker 2>You can then shorten the or you can shrink the

649
00:49:31.519 --> 00:49:37.440
<v Speaker 2>price of the black and white, and then you can

650
00:49:37.440 --> 00:49:42.320
<v Speaker 2>come out with the modern compact stuff quicker.

651
00:49:43.360 --> 00:49:43.639
<v Speaker 3>Yep.

652
00:49:45.000 --> 00:49:49.480
<v Speaker 2>You can actually, because I can almost guarantee. I'm not

653
00:49:49.519 --> 00:49:54.280
<v Speaker 2>gonna say guarantee. Looking at Star Wars twenty twenty five,

654
00:49:57.880 --> 00:50:01.920
<v Speaker 2>I am almost willing to say that two things happened.

655
00:50:02.519 --> 00:50:07.320
<v Speaker 2>One cells were not as great as they thought that

656
00:50:07.599 --> 00:50:12.360
<v Speaker 2>they were going to be. Again, economy is shit, So

657
00:50:12.480 --> 00:50:13.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry.

658
00:50:14.079 --> 00:50:16.480
<v Speaker 3>And you put off telling you put off telling a

659
00:50:17.159 --> 00:50:19.760
<v Speaker 3>past return of the Jedi's story for way too long.

660
00:50:20.039 --> 00:50:22.559
<v Speaker 3>You're trying to fill in all these gaps. People are

661
00:50:22.599 --> 00:50:24.920
<v Speaker 3>now like, oh, well, they're telling the same boring story

662
00:50:24.960 --> 00:50:31.159
<v Speaker 3>all over again. Yes, fresh stories for one, Yes, and

663
00:50:31.199 --> 00:50:40.519
<v Speaker 3>then two film note was in some big wig suits

664
00:50:40.639 --> 00:50:46.320
<v Speaker 3>opinion taking too long m hm, and decided to hire

665
00:50:47.079 --> 00:50:53.320
<v Speaker 3>all these other multiple artists, which I hate. I hate

666
00:50:53.599 --> 00:50:57.840
<v Speaker 3>reading a book, or specifically a comic book knowing that

667
00:50:57.880 --> 00:51:02.840
<v Speaker 3>it's one volume, but every like every issue or close

668
00:51:02.880 --> 00:51:06.800
<v Speaker 3>to every issue is somebody different. Because that was the

669
00:51:06.840 --> 00:51:09.400
<v Speaker 3>confusing thing. Right when we put first put this on

670
00:51:09.400 --> 00:51:11.199
<v Speaker 3>the schedule, you were like, okay, so this is one

671
00:51:11.199 --> 00:51:15.000
<v Speaker 3>through five, and I was like, according to Amazon, it's

672
00:51:15.000 --> 00:51:19.480
<v Speaker 3>one through ten, and we were like, uh what yeah,

673
00:51:19.559 --> 00:51:24.400
<v Speaker 3>like and you can tell how much time and like

674
00:51:24.559 --> 00:51:28.599
<v Speaker 3>the filtering that Phil Noa was able to do with

675
00:51:28.760 --> 00:51:34.239
<v Speaker 3>the artwork on his pages versus some of the other ones,

676
00:51:34.320 --> 00:51:38.400
<v Speaker 3>like like look at you can't look at the vibrancy

677
00:51:38.480 --> 00:51:43.360
<v Speaker 3>on this because of stupid background. But like this, this

678
00:51:43.440 --> 00:51:48.920
<v Speaker 3>is one of the early issues, and it's like one

679
00:51:48.920 --> 00:51:54.800
<v Speaker 3>of the flashbacks for Han and Lando with uh garev

680
00:51:55.679 --> 00:51:59.800
<v Speaker 3>yes and the lengths in the bar and you've got purples,

681
00:52:00.119 --> 00:52:05.400
<v Speaker 3>got oranges, you've got black, white, blue, pink. Like it's

682
00:52:05.559 --> 00:52:11.519
<v Speaker 3>so vibrant and detailed. Yep, that that one exactly. And

683
00:52:11.559 --> 00:52:15.559
<v Speaker 3>then you look at something like this, which is I

684
00:52:15.599 --> 00:52:19.239
<v Speaker 3>believe issue number eight, and it's with Bassion and she's

685
00:52:19.360 --> 00:52:26.679
<v Speaker 3>interrogating one of the assassins for like, hey, where is

686
00:52:26.760 --> 00:52:29.280
<v Speaker 3>this guy? What's your real name? Like trying to figure

687
00:52:29.280 --> 00:52:31.559
<v Speaker 3>out what the heck is going on. It's all purple.

688
00:52:31.960 --> 00:52:34.159
<v Speaker 3>There's no reason it needed to be all purple in this,

689
00:52:35.119 --> 00:52:38.639
<v Speaker 3>Like the drawing is sharp, but you can see that

690
00:52:38.719 --> 00:52:43.320
<v Speaker 3>there's just a difference in like how they were drawing

691
00:52:43.440 --> 00:52:48.440
<v Speaker 3>in this and changing it up harsher lines. It just

692
00:52:48.480 --> 00:52:51.559
<v Speaker 3>doesn't make any sense. It's very abrupt. It's issue number

693
00:52:51.599 --> 00:53:01.239
<v Speaker 3>seven actually, but yeah, it's just it's very different. And

694
00:53:01.280 --> 00:53:03.920
<v Speaker 3>I think the writing is the best thing in this

695
00:53:04.000 --> 00:53:07.800
<v Speaker 3>book by far. I love film Noto as an artist,

696
00:53:08.840 --> 00:53:15.000
<v Speaker 3>and I think I think Pete Woods, again, if it

697
00:53:15.039 --> 00:53:19.000
<v Speaker 3>had been where he had his own volume, or if

698
00:53:19.039 --> 00:53:21.519
<v Speaker 3>this was a different comic, I don't think I would

699
00:53:21.559 --> 00:53:25.480
<v Speaker 3>have had as big a problem with his art. But

700
00:53:25.599 --> 00:53:29.000
<v Speaker 3>the fact in the matter is is that you put

701
00:53:29.000 --> 00:53:33.960
<v Speaker 3>it next to film Noto and it's very different and

702
00:53:34.000 --> 00:53:43.960
<v Speaker 3>it's jarring and it's absurd. I also, so I don't

703
00:53:44.079 --> 00:53:46.599
<v Speaker 3>I don't hate Pete Wood's art, I hate where it's

704
00:53:46.639 --> 00:53:48.639
<v Speaker 3>at in this book. Basically.

705
00:53:49.159 --> 00:53:57.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. So who was the artist for issue number nine?

706
00:53:58.360 --> 00:54:05.360
<v Speaker 3>Ramon Rostanas, Okay, I just want.

707
00:54:05.159 --> 00:54:09.760
<v Speaker 2>To say this I think was one of the most

708
00:54:09.920 --> 00:54:16.079
<v Speaker 2>jarring again because you're changing from not only from five

709
00:54:16.119 --> 00:54:20.039
<v Speaker 2>to seven or six to seven, but then you change

710
00:54:20.719 --> 00:54:23.960
<v Speaker 2>from eight to nine as well.

711
00:54:25.599 --> 00:54:28.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and so you get used to one artist.

712
00:54:29.119 --> 00:54:32.320
<v Speaker 3>And they impolitely turn into.

713
00:54:32.119 --> 00:54:37.840
<v Speaker 2>This and I'm just like, why why are you doing

714
00:54:37.880 --> 00:54:45.440
<v Speaker 2>this to me? Why is it so different? It doesn't

715
00:54:45.480 --> 00:54:49.159
<v Speaker 2>need to be that jarring, It doesn't need to be

716
00:54:49.280 --> 00:54:55.760
<v Speaker 2>that different. And again the reason being is they're like, hey,

717
00:54:56.119 --> 00:54:58.360
<v Speaker 2>this isn't a this isn't a good story because people

718
00:54:58.400 --> 00:55:00.840
<v Speaker 2>aren't buying it. Let's just rush the art Hey, get

719
00:55:00.880 --> 00:55:05.039
<v Speaker 2>somebody else on it while this person is completing issues

720
00:55:05.079 --> 00:55:06.960
<v Speaker 2>seven and eight, will hire this person to.

721
00:55:06.960 --> 00:55:12.840
<v Speaker 4>Do nine and ten. Yeah, and it's just like, guys.

722
00:55:12.920 --> 00:55:18.079
<v Speaker 3>Because somebody else did the art or issue ten. Luke

723
00:55:18.199 --> 00:55:21.840
<v Speaker 3>Ross did ten, and then they brought in so Phil

724
00:55:21.960 --> 00:55:24.760
<v Speaker 3>Noo and Pete Woods colored their own stuff, and then

725
00:55:24.880 --> 00:55:29.599
<v Speaker 3>Chris Sotomayor colored Ramon Rosanas issued number nine, and then

726
00:55:29.679 --> 00:55:31.719
<v Speaker 3>Luke Ross is issue in number ten.

727
00:55:32.159 --> 00:55:38.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. Like, there's just so many moving parts that just

728
00:55:38.159 --> 00:55:39.199
<v Speaker 4>make it a little.

729
00:55:39.000 --> 00:55:41.639
<v Speaker 2>Bit of a excuse my language, a little bit of

730
00:55:41.639 --> 00:55:42.320
<v Speaker 2>a clusterfuck.

731
00:55:43.400 --> 00:55:43.519
<v Speaker 3>Yea.

732
00:55:44.199 --> 00:55:48.280
<v Speaker 2>And it doesn't need to be like that. I think

733
00:55:48.360 --> 00:55:51.039
<v Speaker 2>Star Wars, and I think we've talked about this before,

734
00:55:52.000 --> 00:56:01.280
<v Speaker 2>star Wars can legitimately be a forever ongoing series with

735
00:56:02.760 --> 00:56:06.239
<v Speaker 2>mini series on the side. You can literally make this

736
00:56:06.559 --> 00:56:10.559
<v Speaker 2>an entire Like that's how Marvel should be thinking. So

737
00:56:12.440 --> 00:56:19.239
<v Speaker 2>Marvel has an imprint for their like superhero genre. Yeah,

738
00:56:19.800 --> 00:56:23.880
<v Speaker 2>and then they have an imprint for twentieth Century Fox.

739
00:56:25.079 --> 00:56:32.880
<v Speaker 2>What they need to start doing is adding Lucasfilm as

740
00:56:32.960 --> 00:56:34.440
<v Speaker 2>their own imprint.

741
00:56:35.239 --> 00:56:36.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

742
00:56:36.360 --> 00:56:39.239
<v Speaker 2>They need to just say, hey, we're going to push

743
00:56:39.239 --> 00:56:43.480
<v Speaker 2>this off. It's gonna be its own thing. They have

744
00:56:43.559 --> 00:56:46.960
<v Speaker 2>an ongoing series of the main title and then you

745
00:56:47.079 --> 00:56:50.559
<v Speaker 2>do other mini series and other small stuff to go

746
00:56:50.599 --> 00:56:51.320
<v Speaker 2>along with it.

747
00:56:52.039 --> 00:56:54.440
<v Speaker 3>And I think that makes the most sense, and I

748
00:56:54.480 --> 00:56:57.239
<v Speaker 3>think that's what they were trying to do. But then

749
00:56:57.320 --> 00:57:03.519
<v Speaker 3>the the like big cross series, I think that threw

750
00:57:03.639 --> 00:57:07.760
<v Speaker 3>things off where people were not a fan of those

751
00:57:07.840 --> 00:57:09.559
<v Speaker 3>and so they were like, Okay, we have to switch

752
00:57:09.599 --> 00:57:12.159
<v Speaker 3>things up again. No, you should have just gone back

753
00:57:12.199 --> 00:57:14.960
<v Speaker 3>to an ongoing Star Wars series and then had other

754
00:57:15.039 --> 00:57:17.920
<v Speaker 3>series you can bring people in. But you did not

755
00:57:18.079 --> 00:57:22.400
<v Speaker 3>need to cross over four series at a time for that.

756
00:57:22.400 --> 00:57:24.000
<v Speaker 3>That was insanity.

757
00:57:24.960 --> 00:57:28.360
<v Speaker 2>I think one of the biggest issues is again and

758
00:57:28.480 --> 00:57:32.360
<v Speaker 2>you just made a comment on it earlier saying like, oh,

759
00:57:32.400 --> 00:57:34.480
<v Speaker 2>you waited too long to do a post return of

760
00:57:34.480 --> 00:57:38.199
<v Speaker 2>the Jedi. Right, We've already been introduced to a new hero,

761
00:57:38.920 --> 00:57:43.320
<v Speaker 2>Race Skywalker. You just need to have a heavy conversation

762
00:57:43.880 --> 00:57:49.079
<v Speaker 2>with Lucasfilm saying hey, we need Race Skywalker stories in

763
00:57:49.119 --> 00:57:49.679
<v Speaker 2>the comics.

764
00:57:51.360 --> 00:57:52.480
<v Speaker 4>That's just what you need to do.

765
00:57:53.280 --> 00:57:57.119
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and especially because like and we look at like

766
00:57:57.199 --> 00:58:00.760
<v Speaker 3>Galaxies Edge for instance, because Galaxies they're doing a mini

767
00:58:00.760 --> 00:58:06.960
<v Speaker 3>series right now introducing Batu into the Empire era, and

768
00:58:07.000 --> 00:58:15.519
<v Speaker 3>like Rebellion all this stuff, why do we keep going backwards.

769
00:58:16.679 --> 00:58:22.440
<v Speaker 2>Again? It's it's this idea me. It's it's this idea

770
00:58:22.480 --> 00:58:25.039
<v Speaker 2>that they keep wanting to like, oh, there's a gap here,

771
00:58:25.079 --> 00:58:30.679
<v Speaker 2>we can tell a story here. And they just literally

772
00:58:30.719 --> 00:58:35.159
<v Speaker 2>need to say like, hey, like we understand that, you know,

773
00:58:35.760 --> 00:58:40.679
<v Speaker 2>and and I I some like not somehow like I

774
00:58:40.920 --> 00:58:42.519
<v Speaker 2>do have to break it to people.

775
00:58:43.800 --> 00:58:45.519
<v Speaker 4>Star Wars is.

776
00:58:45.519 --> 00:58:53.920
<v Speaker 2>A cult classic, meaning like, yeah, it's fun, but it

777
00:58:53.960 --> 00:58:57.079
<v Speaker 2>does not hold up to this generation's ideas of what

778
00:58:57.119 --> 00:59:02.559
<v Speaker 2>a movie should be. It doesn't like it just it

779
00:59:02.679 --> 00:59:08.199
<v Speaker 2>just doesn't. When you introduce Star Wars Tomara eventually watching

780
00:59:08.639 --> 00:59:13.079
<v Speaker 2>episodes four, five, and six, she is probably going to

781
00:59:13.159 --> 00:59:16.719
<v Speaker 2>love it, but she is going to be more wow

782
00:59:17.039 --> 00:59:20.960
<v Speaker 2>and like, oh my gosh to newer things. Yeah, it's

783
00:59:21.079 --> 00:59:24.320
<v Speaker 2>just the way it is. It's just the way it is.

784
00:59:24.360 --> 00:59:28.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry. I was more wowed and like foaming at

785
00:59:28.440 --> 00:59:32.480
<v Speaker 2>the mouth when I watched Phantom, Menace and Revenge of

786
00:59:32.519 --> 00:59:34.599
<v Speaker 2>the Sith, And I was just.

787
00:59:34.559 --> 00:59:37.400
<v Speaker 3>Gonna say, if if you wanted to stay in the

788
00:59:37.480 --> 00:59:41.039
<v Speaker 3>same like comfort zone with the original trilogy and the

789
00:59:41.039 --> 00:59:45.639
<v Speaker 3>prequel trilogy, go to the prequel trilogy. There's plenty of

790
00:59:45.800 --> 00:59:47.400
<v Speaker 3>stories there to be told.

791
00:59:48.400 --> 00:59:50.519
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, tell more Obi.

792
00:59:50.159 --> 00:59:56.679
<v Speaker 3>Wan and Anakin Padawan stories, Like, there's a very easy

793
00:59:56.760 --> 01:00:00.719
<v Speaker 3>ongoing series there that will bring in a bunch of

794
01:00:00.719 --> 01:00:04.679
<v Speaker 3>people because everybody loves Opi Wan and Anakin a little.

795
01:00:04.760 --> 01:00:08.760
<v Speaker 4>We just talked about literally Jedi Knights.

796
01:00:09.480 --> 01:00:12.239
<v Speaker 2>Jedi Knights sounded like such a good idea, and then

797
01:00:12.280 --> 01:00:17.280
<v Speaker 2>they just said, hey, here's a Qui Gongen story instead, like, yeah,

798
01:00:17.599 --> 01:00:22.000
<v Speaker 2>they are just they're fumbling the ball when literally.

799
01:00:23.440 --> 01:00:28.320
<v Speaker 4>The goal is taped to their forehead. Yeah, it's crazy.

800
01:00:29.639 --> 01:00:34.760
<v Speaker 3>Like so, and we've kind of talked around this comment. Guys.

801
01:00:35.480 --> 01:00:39.800
<v Speaker 3>It is a very easy story that does have a

802
01:00:39.840 --> 01:00:42.840
<v Speaker 3>lot of good moments in it that we are kind

803
01:00:42.880 --> 01:00:45.039
<v Speaker 3>of running out of time to do because apparently I'm

804
01:00:45.079 --> 01:00:49.760
<v Speaker 3>being summoned to put my dog in to bed. It's

805
01:00:49.760 --> 01:00:53.320
<v Speaker 3>got a lot of good, easy moments that delve into

806
01:00:53.320 --> 01:00:57.440
<v Speaker 3>the politics of the New Republic, and there's adventure scenes,

807
01:00:57.519 --> 01:01:05.920
<v Speaker 3>there's space fighting scenes, there's lightsaber moments, There's all these things.

808
01:01:06.440 --> 01:01:10.320
<v Speaker 3>They really make this comic shine. And again, Alex Sigoura

809
01:01:10.800 --> 01:01:15.960
<v Speaker 3>is a phenomenal storyteller that deserves more of these stories.

810
01:01:16.000 --> 01:01:18.159
<v Speaker 3>His Spider Man story, guys, I don't know if you

811
01:01:18.199 --> 01:01:21.039
<v Speaker 3>guys have read that. That's a great novel. There's a

812
01:01:21.039 --> 01:01:24.079
<v Speaker 3>young adult Spider Man's story. He did a great job

813
01:01:24.119 --> 01:01:29.840
<v Speaker 3>with it, so he he really does a fantastic job.

814
01:01:29.920 --> 01:01:32.760
<v Speaker 3>I would highly recommend if you can get past the

815
01:01:32.840 --> 01:01:38.760
<v Speaker 3>changing art between six, seven, eight, nine, ten. I think

816
01:01:38.800 --> 01:01:44.920
<v Speaker 3>this is absolutely a pickup at the end of the day,

817
01:01:44.960 --> 01:01:45.679
<v Speaker 3>if you were.

818
01:01:45.639 --> 01:01:49.440
<v Speaker 2>If you were invested in the Battle of Jaku and

819
01:01:49.480 --> 01:01:52.480
<v Speaker 2>you're like, hey, this entered on a cliffhanger, what happens next?

820
01:01:53.920 --> 01:01:57.159
<v Speaker 2>Pick up this story. It does shed light on what

821
01:01:57.199 --> 01:02:01.039
<v Speaker 2>they were trying to do. And I still have like

822
01:02:01.119 --> 01:02:04.320
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of like towards the ending of the story,

823
01:02:04.559 --> 01:02:07.320
<v Speaker 2>but I see the vision, I see where it was going,

824
01:02:07.400 --> 01:02:09.760
<v Speaker 2>and so I was like, yeah, this is really fun.

825
01:02:10.320 --> 01:02:13.360
<v Speaker 2>It's just unfortunate that this book turned out the way

826
01:02:13.400 --> 01:02:13.679
<v Speaker 2>it did.

827
01:02:14.440 --> 01:02:17.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, because I think the other thing too, that's important

828
01:02:17.400 --> 01:02:21.960
<v Speaker 3>to mention here is I think Oscar Rina Oscar phenomenal villain.

829
01:02:22.280 --> 01:02:27.000
<v Speaker 3>I love the concept. I love like delving into like, oh, hey,

830
01:02:27.119 --> 01:02:29.360
<v Speaker 3>they actually suck the life out of people and that's

831
01:02:29.360 --> 01:02:30.840
<v Speaker 3>how they stay young and beautiful.

832
01:02:32.840 --> 01:02:38.840
<v Speaker 4>Creepy, but a little bit of a negative take on that.

833
01:02:40.000 --> 01:02:45.320
<v Speaker 2>But I well, it's just like the the idea of

834
01:02:45.320 --> 01:02:47.119
<v Speaker 2>how it was resolved.

835
01:02:48.239 --> 01:02:55.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that was a little punky dory, but but I

836
01:02:55.039 --> 01:02:58.480
<v Speaker 3>think it's because of how the series got canceled.

837
01:02:58.559 --> 01:03:02.800
<v Speaker 5>Yes, and like it was the the the ending of

838
01:03:03.400 --> 01:03:10.639
<v Speaker 5>that whole debacle, I think was a victim of the

839
01:03:10.679 --> 01:03:12.440
<v Speaker 5>fact that this story needed to be cut.

840
01:03:13.239 --> 01:03:17.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that's how you end her if this

841
01:03:17.400 --> 01:03:22.559
<v Speaker 2>story keeps going, Yeah, I just don't. But yeah, like

842
01:03:22.920 --> 01:03:26.719
<v Speaker 2>the the idea, like, because again I'm always the champion

843
01:03:26.840 --> 01:03:28.880
<v Speaker 2>for like, hey, Star Wars needs to go a little

844
01:03:28.880 --> 01:03:30.440
<v Speaker 2>bit more sci fi, it needs to get a little

845
01:03:30.440 --> 01:03:32.039
<v Speaker 2>bit more weird, it needs to go a little bit

846
01:03:32.039 --> 01:03:38.519
<v Speaker 2>more supernatural. I liked it, but the ending, I was

847
01:03:38.599 --> 01:03:40.840
<v Speaker 2>just like, m that was not sad.

848
01:03:41.039 --> 01:03:45.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, because the Anzati are actually from Star Wars legends,

849
01:03:48.440 --> 01:03:50.079
<v Speaker 3>and I think we had said that with the Battle

850
01:03:50.119 --> 01:03:56.039
<v Speaker 3>of jack Who. But yeah, because this was really their

851
01:03:56.079 --> 01:04:05.119
<v Speaker 3>first introduction into Star Wars was Alex sigour tale, So

852
01:04:06.159 --> 01:04:10.039
<v Speaker 3>I really dug it. I wish he had had more time,

853
01:04:10.480 --> 01:04:13.400
<v Speaker 3>for sure, because I do think things would have ended

854
01:04:13.480 --> 01:04:14.480
<v Speaker 3>just a little bit differently.

855
01:04:16.639 --> 01:04:22.599
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, yeah, and and just like how we do

856
01:04:22.760 --> 01:04:26.519
<v Speaker 2>our novel reviews, guys, like it's best to just try

857
01:04:26.519 --> 01:04:31.159
<v Speaker 2>it out yourself. So again, if you were invested in

858
01:04:31.280 --> 01:04:34.320
<v Speaker 2>Battle of JACKU, if you're a Star Wars fan, which

859
01:04:34.360 --> 01:04:38.559

860
01:04:39.920 --> 01:04:42.360
<v Speaker 2>then yeah, pick it up as a continuation of that

861
01:04:42.480 --> 01:04:48.559
<v Speaker 2>story and form your own opinion. But that is going

862
01:04:48.639 --> 01:04:54.119
<v Speaker 2>to be it for this review. We do have a
