2
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:22.679
<v Speaker 2>Hello, everyone, Welcome back to another episode of Star Wars.

00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:35.000
<v Speaker 2>is Clay Clay. We've already kind of talked about this,

7
00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:37.200
<v Speaker 2>but let's tell the artists. How are you doing tonight?

8
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:42.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing pretty good. There is some developments happening in

9
00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:45.359

10
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:48.719
<v Speaker 1>that when everything is more concrete. But I just realized this.

11
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:55.520
<v Speaker 1>We are getting to a more normalized weather system, which

12
00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:59.520
<v Speaker 1>is causing me to actually use the AC. We haven't

13
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:01.600
<v Speaker 1>used the see in this room for quite some time.

14
00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Can you hear that?

15
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:03.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't hear it?

16
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:09.879
<v Speaker 1>Sweet? Even better? Okay, So yeah, yeah, some some other

<v Speaker 2>You're gonna do this. I want to celebrate. I want

38
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:37.120
<v Speaker 2>people in the chat like we're gonna have the blast.

00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:42.120
<v Speaker 1>So it's gonna be I'm excited YouTube. Yes, now I

40
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:45.560
<v Speaker 1>will say that I I texted you, did you buy

41
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:46.039
<v Speaker 1>your ticket?

42
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:49.120
<v Speaker 2>I have not bought my ticket because we have to

43
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:50.159
<v Speaker 2>schedule a babysitter.

44
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:55.599
<v Speaker 1>I have not bought my ticket either. And the way

45
00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:58.800
<v Speaker 1>that me and Abby have been doing things, Abby has

46
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:06.319
<v Speaker 1>not been soon super crazy about watching anything Superhero and

47
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:11.400
<v Speaker 1>yeah ip related together, So I've been watching that on

48
00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:13.520
<v Speaker 1>my own and then when it comes to Disney. Plus

49
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:15.919
<v Speaker 1>we all watch it as a family. But we have

50
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:21.560
<v Speaker 1>been watching family movies at the theater. We took Amberlin

51
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:24.599
<v Speaker 1>to go see, of course, Utopia too when it came out. Uh.

52
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:30.599
<v Speaker 1>And then just here recently we watched Super Mario Galaxy, right,

53
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:34.240
<v Speaker 1>was it super Mario Galazy? Yeah, super Mario Galaxy, uh,

54
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:38.000
<v Speaker 1>with Amberlin as well. Uh. And we've been enjoying that

55
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:40.800
<v Speaker 1>time together. So I don't know. I want to watch

56
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Mandoin Grogu by myself to see if it is appropriate

57
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:51.879
<v Speaker 1>to bring Amberlin in because she she likes Grogu. Whenever

58
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:54.520
<v Speaker 1>she sees Grogu, she's like, oh, Grogu. I'm like okay,

59
00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:59.520
<v Speaker 1>Like I can kind of tell her to close her

60
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:03.520
<v Speaker 1>eyes or leave the room whenever I'm watching Mando on

61
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:08.120
<v Speaker 1>our TV at home. Can't necessarily do that with a

62
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:11.759
<v Speaker 1>big screen at a theater. So I'm gonna watch it first,

63
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:15.680
<v Speaker 1>see how it is, and then we'll see if we

64
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:16.920
<v Speaker 1>can all go see it together.

65
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:20.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I think Mara is too young because obviously, as

66
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:23.839
<v Speaker 2>I've told y'all, she loves Grogu. Right now, she wears

67
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:26.240
<v Speaker 2>Grogu shirts like three times a week to day care.

68
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:32.480
<v Speaker 2>So I know she would love it, at least the

69
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:36.079
<v Speaker 2>Grogu parts, but I don't think she's old enough to

70
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:41.800
<v Speaker 2>go to a theater just yet, so we will probably

71
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:45.360
<v Speaker 2>show her Mandoin Grogu when it comes to Disney. Plus,

72
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:49.800
<v Speaker 2>I think our plan right now. I told Matt, I

73
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:51.879
<v Speaker 2>was like, we have to figure out Thursday night because

74
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:56.079
<v Speaker 2>we're going to see it Thursday night, and then I

75
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:59.000
<v Speaker 2>took Friday off so I can go see it and

76
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:04.639
<v Speaker 2>do the review watch on my own on like during

77
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:07.519
<v Speaker 2>the day on Friday, so then I can be prepared

78
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:13.319
<v Speaker 2>with notes and stuff. So that is my plan for

79
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:20.319
<v Speaker 2>the watch along. But the piece of news that we

80
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:26.040
<v Speaker 2>have to talk about Clay on May fourth. It was

81
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:32.560
<v Speaker 2>just announced on May fourth that Imax and Lucasfilm will

82
00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:37.160
<v Speaker 2>be doing special look events at select Imax theaters around

83
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:39.800
<v Speaker 2>the world on Star Wars Day, featuring exclusive, never before

84
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:44.839
<v Speaker 2>seen footage and special fan giveaways. These screenings will happen

85
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:49.000
<v Speaker 2>at seven pm Local Standard time. Uh, it looks like

86
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:58.720
<v Speaker 2>they are available on fandango dot com. It does look

87
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:01.079
<v Speaker 2>like it's free. At least I thought this was a

88
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:02.199
<v Speaker 2>pay event.

89
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:08.720
<v Speaker 1>But this was news to me. Where where where are

90
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:10.720
<v Speaker 1>you reading this? What is what? Is this? What is this?

91
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:14.199
<v Speaker 2>This is on Star Wars. I'm pulling this up off

92
00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:21.279
<v Speaker 2>of Star Wars dot com. Okay, or I pulled this

93
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:25.920
<v Speaker 2>up off of Star Wars news Net. But uh, star

94
00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:27.879
<v Speaker 2>Wars has it as well, like I saw it on

95
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:30.439
<v Speaker 2>Star Wars' Instagram account at line.

96
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:37.759
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay, okay, okay, So here we go. Uh, here

97
00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:41.759
<v Speaker 1>we go. It's a twenty five minute iMX fan preview.

98
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:49.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah all right, So it says here get an exclusive

99
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:53.160
<v Speaker 1>special look at the upcoming film Men Luring Grogu weeks

100
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:57.399
<v Speaker 1>before the big release. So I want to know how

101
00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:03.360
<v Speaker 1>do you feel about these? Because we have seen big

102
00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:06.040
<v Speaker 1>events like New York Comic Con, San Diego Comic Con,

103
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:10.720
<v Speaker 1>Star Wars Celebration, shared trailers, and then from time to

104
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:14.439
<v Speaker 1>time we will get the like oh, the first TV

105
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:17.399
<v Speaker 1>spot or the first look, you know those types of things.

106
00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:22.199
<v Speaker 1>This is twenty five minutes of the movie.

107
00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:25.920
<v Speaker 2>Correct, and it does look like it's free. I had

108
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:30.040
<v Speaker 2>very big thoughts because originally I thought this was a

109
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:34.079
<v Speaker 2>ticketed event, and I was like, you put this special look,

110
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:37.439
<v Speaker 2>like this is the special look. I'm betting that goes

111
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:39.839
<v Speaker 2>onto Disney Plus right now for all of the movies

112
00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:41.839
<v Speaker 2>that are going into theaters. Yeah, Like, if you look,

113
00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:44.519
<v Speaker 2>there's a special look for Devilaware's product too. Right now.

114
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:47.439
<v Speaker 2>I was like, there's no way you're gonna charge me

115
00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:50.319
<v Speaker 2>twenty bucks to go see twenty five minutes.

116
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:54.800
<v Speaker 1>Well, and like Peter, the last time I remember doing

117
00:07:54.839 --> 00:08:01.759
<v Speaker 1>one of these was bvs. Batman versus Superman. Abby completely

118
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:03.879
<v Speaker 1>made fun of me for doing it because I dragged

119
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:08.000
<v Speaker 1>her along with me. We went to the Imax Theater

120
00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:12.560
<v Speaker 1>in San Antonio. We stood in line and we literally

121
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:17.759
<v Speaker 1>just watched the extended trailer that was Yeah, we got

122
00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:21.439
<v Speaker 1>some posters, we got some little knickknacks, but that was it,

123
00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:27.720
<v Speaker 1>and of course the special message from Zack Snyder. I

124
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:30.600
<v Speaker 1>haven't done it since that was literally ten years ago.

125
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:35.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and so like I don't remember the last time,

126
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:40.360
<v Speaker 2>but I think it makes sense. Knowing that people aren't charging,

127
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:43.639
<v Speaker 2>like Lucaslm's not charging for it, it makes more sense

128
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:46.120
<v Speaker 2>to do this and like have it be like a

129
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:50.039
<v Speaker 2>little May fourth celebration kind of thing. I just put

130
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:52.799
<v Speaker 2>in my information on the fan Dango site. It doesn't

131
00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:56.399
<v Speaker 2>look like this is available in South Carolina, So fuck you,

132
00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:58.360
<v Speaker 2>Lucas Film. I'm just kidding, but like.

133
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:01.320
<v Speaker 1>I guess that would make it fake to actually look

134
00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:06.679
<v Speaker 1>to see if this is here in my town as well.

135
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:11.960
<v Speaker 1>But like we have seen, and I guess this is

136
00:09:12.039 --> 00:09:15.399
<v Speaker 1>something that we haven't really talked about because we were

137
00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:19.799
<v Speaker 1>waiting to talk about predictions and everything else. Yep, Mandoin

138
00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:25.879
<v Speaker 1>Grogu does not look like it's looking the best sales wise,

139
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:30.440
<v Speaker 1>and I think this is their attempt to hype people

140
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:33.279
<v Speaker 1>up well.

141
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:35.840
<v Speaker 2>And other thing that I think is not in the

142
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:43.720
<v Speaker 2>predictions currently is the fact that this is releasing Memorial

143
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:50.759
<v Speaker 2>Day weekend, so it's not taking the predictions that I've seen,

144
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:53.759
<v Speaker 2>are not taking the Monday sales into account or that

145
00:09:53.799 --> 00:09:57.799
<v Speaker 2>it's a holiday weekend. It just says basic, yeah, that's

146
00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:03.159
<v Speaker 2>sales structures. So it'll be interesting to see how that changed.

147
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:05.519
<v Speaker 2>But seventy million dollars. Seventy million dollars is still not

148
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:06.000
<v Speaker 2>that bad.

149
00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:12.080
<v Speaker 1>It's not bad I for IPS. Right now, I'm curious

150
00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:18.159
<v Speaker 1>to see how the Thursday sales will go, because of

151
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:23.279
<v Speaker 1>course everybody knows Thursday is majority going to be the

152
00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:26.679
<v Speaker 1>hardcore fans, the people who are like, hey, I cannot wait,

153
00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:28.879
<v Speaker 1>I need to watch this now, so I don't get

154
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:32.399
<v Speaker 1>spoiled about it in the future. That's what Thursday is

155
00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:46.159
<v Speaker 1>kind of there for if Thursday has a good good

156
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:49.519
<v Speaker 1>enough amount, I would say, and I say good enough

157
00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:53.080
<v Speaker 1>as in like standards for people who follow these types

158
00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:58.480
<v Speaker 1>of box office numbers. Yeah, I think the Monday can

159
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:05.080
<v Speaker 1>hold them over. Now, when does Devil Waters product release?

160
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:10.279
<v Speaker 2>May second?

161
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:11.120
<v Speaker 1>Oo?

162
00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:15.639
<v Speaker 2>Okay, yeah, it opens not this weekend, but next weekend.

163
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:19.240
<v Speaker 1>It's next weekend, and then man doin Groid Because here's

164
00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:22.600
<v Speaker 1>the thing I think, I genuinely think, and this is crazy.

165
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:27.759
<v Speaker 1>I just recently in my life watched Devil risprouda. Within

166
00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:31.639
<v Speaker 1>the last like year and a half, I think I

167
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:32.360
<v Speaker 1>have watched it.

168
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:35.600
<v Speaker 2>I watched it this past weekend for the first time.

169
00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:41.519
<v Speaker 1>I think that has enough of a cult following to

170
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:45.200
<v Speaker 1>literally last the entire month of May.

171
00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:49.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, because I feel like Disney has been

172
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:53.360
<v Speaker 2>pulling stuff within a month, so I feel like it's

173
00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:57.399
<v Speaker 2>gonna be frontloaded a little bit. Also true, I did

174
00:11:57.440 --> 00:12:00.840
<v Speaker 2>pull up, so I pulled up Fantastic four opening weekend,

175
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:05.600
<v Speaker 2>Superman's opening weekend, and Thunderbolts opening weekend. I would consider

176
00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:09.320
<v Speaker 2>Mando and Grogu more along the lines of Thunderbolts. Yeah,

177
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:14.399
<v Speaker 2>in this case, Fantastic Four did an estimated one hundred

178
00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:18.759
<v Speaker 2>and eighteen million in the US. Okay, Superman did one

179
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:23.399
<v Speaker 2>hundred and twenty two million opening million in the US. Yeah,

180
00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:28.320
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and twenty two million. Thunderbolts did seventy six million.

181
00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:32.759
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yeah, me, Yeah.

182
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:38.200
<v Speaker 2>I think with it being an offshoot and not a

183
00:12:38.279 --> 00:12:44.360
<v Speaker 2>main team, I feel like seventy million prediction wise reasonable

184
00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:45.440
<v Speaker 2>at this point.

185
00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:46.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

186
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:51.080
<v Speaker 2>So, and we will obviously see, Like so, if they're

187
00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:53.519
<v Speaker 2>doing the Special Look event in Imax on May fourth,

188
00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:55.799
<v Speaker 2>I would imagine the Special Look is going to come

189
00:12:55.840 --> 00:12:58.759
<v Speaker 2>to Disney Plus, so we might get some numbers on

190
00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:00.960
<v Speaker 2>that too, and we might see things increase. From my

191
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:05.519
<v Speaker 2>see things decrease, I don't know. I feel like Starfighter

192
00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:08.759
<v Speaker 2>is the true test of the Star Wars box office,

193
00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:12.799
<v Speaker 2>and not necessarily this.

194
00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:18.960
<v Speaker 1>So my question, my question to you would be everybody's

195
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:22.879
<v Speaker 1>saying seventy million is kind of like, oh, that's very low,

196
00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:26.080
<v Speaker 1>that's not looking great. Of course, it is technically the

197
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:29.679
<v Speaker 1>lowest of every Star Wars film that has hit theaters.

198
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:37.720
<v Speaker 1>We don't know what Disney or lucasfilm would count as

199
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:43.720
<v Speaker 1>a rock star success for Mando and Grogu, What do

200
00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:51.519
<v Speaker 1>you think a rock Star success would be for that weekend? You?

201
00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:55.919
<v Speaker 2>I feel like rock stars success, you're hitting like a

202
00:13:56.159 --> 00:14:01.360
<v Speaker 2>hundred million is. I feel like I don't. I have

203
00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:04.639
<v Speaker 2>never seen that. I have never thought that this movie

204
00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:09.639
<v Speaker 2>is gonna make big box office numbers. I feel like

205
00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:14.799
<v Speaker 2>that's left to something that doesn't have to have homework,

206
00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:17.840
<v Speaker 2>because we still don't know how Mandoin Grogu is going

207
00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:24.360
<v Speaker 2>to handle the transition from streaming to theatrical and I

208
00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:27.960
<v Speaker 2>think that's people's hesitation. So that's why I feel like

209
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:31.679
<v Speaker 2>Starfighter is more of a test of the Star Wars

210
00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:37.559
<v Speaker 2>box office than Mandoin grogo is. I just Starfighter doesn't

211
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:41.600
<v Speaker 2>have homework that you have to go watch. Yeah, And

212
00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:48.879
<v Speaker 2>just as another perspective for everybody, Project how Mary earned

213
00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:54.240
<v Speaker 2>eighty point six million dollars in the US opening weekend,

214
00:14:55.279 --> 00:15:05.840
<v Speaker 2>and what Super Mario Galaxy movie opening weekend? What did

215
00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:11.080
<v Speaker 2>that make? Super Mario earned one hundred thirty one million

216
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:19.480
<v Speaker 2>at the box office. It's opening weekend. So I feel

217
00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:22.519
<v Speaker 2>like in Project hell Mary was like said like, oh,

218
00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:25.000
<v Speaker 2>this is like a box office success here. And obviously

219
00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:29.159
<v Speaker 2>Project hell Mary's budget very different compared to Mandoin Grogu.

220
00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:35.519
<v Speaker 2>But you also have more merchandising rates for Mandoin Grogu

221
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:36.879
<v Speaker 2>than Project Till Mary.

222
00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:37.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so.

223
00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:43.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I'm gonna choose to continue to think positively,

224
00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:49.559
<v Speaker 2>but again, I'm not concerned about this box office. I

225
00:15:49.559 --> 00:15:52.679
<v Speaker 2>truly do believe Mandoin Grogu's gonna make its budget back,

226
00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:58.679
<v Speaker 2>which should therefore be considered a success. Starfighter is the

227
00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:03.000
<v Speaker 2>indicator to me, can Star Wars go back to theaters,

228
00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:04.919
<v Speaker 2>because that is an original story?

229
00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:09.639
<v Speaker 1>I think so too. I do think that Disney and

230
00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:14.840
<v Speaker 1>Lucasfilm think the same. I think that Manduin Grogu is

231
00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:22.279
<v Speaker 1>literally just a test for what a Disney plus ip

232
00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:26.759
<v Speaker 1>can do in theaters. Yeah, because we have not yet

233
00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:32.000
<v Speaker 1>seen that happen for Disney yet. I also asked everybody

234
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:33.919
<v Speaker 1>at the GUA. I said, what do you guys think

235
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:38.039
<v Speaker 1>the ideal success numbers for Manduin Grogu would be opening weekend?

236
00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:43.559
<v Speaker 1>Travis did say Snell He said, depends on the budget, obviously,

237
00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:47.600
<v Speaker 1>but without knowing one hundred plus, So he's on the

238
00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:52.320
<v Speaker 1>same page as you. Anything under it is, Yeah, anything

239
00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:56.320
<v Speaker 1>under is pretty underwhelming for the first Star Wars movie

240
00:16:56.440 --> 00:16:57.840
<v Speaker 1>in seven plus years.

241
00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:04.160
<v Speaker 2>The production budget, according to screen rant and I believe

242
00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:07.279
<v Speaker 2>we said this before, but just since Nell had said

243
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:13.279
<v Speaker 2>that overall production budget was one hundred and sixty six

244
00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:17.400
<v Speaker 2>point four million dollars with a tax credit of twenty

245
00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:22.160
<v Speaker 2>one point seventy five million dollars. It is the lowest

246
00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:27.839
<v Speaker 2>production budget that a Star Wars movie has had since

247
00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:29.920
<v Speaker 2>the prequel trilogy.

248
00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:34.599
<v Speaker 1>So you said that budget was around what one.

249
00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:39.759
<v Speaker 2>Hundred and sixty six point four billion dollars.

250
00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:44.359
<v Speaker 1>Billion with a B million, Okay, I was like what,

251
00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:49.960
<v Speaker 1>I was like that that movie is going under real quick.

252
00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:51.079
<v Speaker 1>If it's billion.

253
00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:55.559
<v Speaker 2>Forst Awakens two hundred and forty five million, Rogue one,

254
00:17:55.680 --> 00:17:59.839
<v Speaker 2>A Star Wars Story two hundred million, Last Jedi three

255
00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:04.319
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and seventeen million, Solo two hundred and seventy

256
00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:10.559
<v Speaker 2>five million, Rise of Skywalker to seventy five million, and

257
00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:13.279
<v Speaker 2>then as we've said, Vando and Grogu one hundred and

258
00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:15.480
<v Speaker 2>sixty six point four million dollars.

259
00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:21.279
<v Speaker 1>Now, how about this, since we've kind of kind of

260
00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:24.119
<v Speaker 1>we kind of dove into these numbers and started talking

261
00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:28.559
<v Speaker 1>predictions or everything, and we'll get into the nitty gritty

262
00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:35.599
<v Speaker 1>of our predictions closer to the release. Do you think

263
00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:42.119
<v Speaker 1>it'll explode overseas or be steady. What do you think.

264
00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:50.440
<v Speaker 2>It could? I could see it going either way because

265
00:18:50.440 --> 00:18:53.559
<v Speaker 2>I feel like Middle East and China you could have

266
00:18:53.720 --> 00:19:01.160
<v Speaker 2>issues because Pedro Pascal is the star and he is

267
00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:10.119
<v Speaker 2>pro LGBTQ personas, so you could see Middle East and

268
00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:14.680
<v Speaker 2>China potentially going it. Nope, we're not showing him kind

269
00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:21.440
<v Speaker 2>of thing, but obviously very popular everywhere else, I feel

270
00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:25.880
<v Speaker 2>like right now, so you could see a spike out

271
00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:27.839
<v Speaker 2>of South America for instance.

272
00:19:28.279 --> 00:19:29.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

273
00:19:28.960 --> 00:19:33.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm terrible with box office predictions.

274
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:39.079
<v Speaker 4>What we've seen so so, of course overseas, specifically in

275
00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:45.119
<v Speaker 4>China and in Japan, we've seen more movies with.

276
00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:55.640
<v Speaker 1>The mascot esque characters that like groguh, they seem to

277
00:19:55.640 --> 00:20:01.359
<v Speaker 1>pop off pretty well, so I'm wondering if that will

278
00:20:01.400 --> 00:20:06.119
<v Speaker 1>be the case here. But we haven't really seen any

279
00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:09.880
<v Speaker 1>other predictions worldwide, and I don't even know what the

280
00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:14.119
<v Speaker 1>release schedule is for Mando it comes to overseas.

281
00:20:13.880 --> 00:20:22.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't know either. I can't find a direct

282
00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:28.240
<v Speaker 2>source for this, but it looks like Fantastic Four made

283
00:20:28.319 --> 00:20:34.400
<v Speaker 2>two hundred and eighteen million opening weekend, so at extra

284
00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:38.640
<v Speaker 2>one hundred million for Fantastic Four would again probably not

285
00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:43.480
<v Speaker 2>like the best comparison. But if we look at Thunderbolts,

286
00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:57.440
<v Speaker 2>go back to Thunderbolts opening weekend international, the opening international

287
00:20:57.480 --> 00:21:04.039
<v Speaker 2>box office for Thunderbolts is eighty six point one million. Okay, okay,

288
00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:08.160
<v Speaker 2>So total opening box office weekend of one hundred and

289
00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:09.359
<v Speaker 2>sixty two point one million.

290
00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:21.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, If that's the case, I think that Mando

291
00:21:21.799 --> 00:21:24.039
<v Speaker 1>and Grogu can break a hundred.

292
00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:28.599
<v Speaker 2>I think yeah, it's definitely gonna break one hundred worldwide.

293
00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:31.839
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if it will break one hundred in

294
00:21:31.920 --> 00:21:38.599
<v Speaker 2>the US, I don't think it will. Yeah, internationally, it

295
00:21:38.599 --> 00:21:40.160
<v Speaker 2>would definitely break a hundred million.

296
00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:44.559
<v Speaker 1>All right, Well, we'll have to wait and see and

297
00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:47.200
<v Speaker 1>again we will probably get a little bit more concrete

298
00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:52.920
<v Speaker 1>numbers once we get closer to the actual release and

299
00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:57.920
<v Speaker 1>when we actually talk about our predictions. But I think

300
00:21:58.240 --> 00:22:07.359
<v Speaker 1>with that, is there any other news.

301
00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:08.920
<v Speaker 2>I saw on Star Wars news Net?

302
00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:14.799
<v Speaker 1>I believe that is everything that I sent you recently.

303
00:22:16.079 --> 00:22:22.720
<v Speaker 1>Also my request on net Galley, it's still pending. I

304
00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:26.599
<v Speaker 1>have no idea how or when they are going to

305
00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:27.799
<v Speaker 1>update that.

306
00:22:28.359 --> 00:22:31.880
<v Speaker 2>I was planning on emailing, but I still haven't even

307
00:22:32.519 --> 00:22:35.880
<v Speaker 2>called my UH insurance to figure out why they won't

308
00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:39.720
<v Speaker 2>give you my my grain events. So I'm just like

309
00:22:39.799 --> 00:22:41.720
<v Speaker 2>procrastinating everything.

310
00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:49.079
<v Speaker 1>But also priorities, you know, books or medication.

311
00:22:50.599 --> 00:22:56.119
<v Speaker 2>Note of books, guys, Dungeon Crawler Carl is a big

312
00:22:56.279 --> 00:23:00.920
<v Speaker 2>hype right now on the TikTok in the instagram. I'm

313
00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:05.559
<v Speaker 2>here to tell you that you should believe the hype because.

314
00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:06.640
<v Speaker 1>Did you get into it?

315
00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:07.759
<v Speaker 2>I did.

316
00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:12.599
<v Speaker 1>I have been avoiding it because, guys, whenever it comes

317
00:23:12.599 --> 00:23:15.559
<v Speaker 1>to books, I am such a hipster. I'll be completely honest.

318
00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:18.960
<v Speaker 1>Every single hype book I stay away from because I

319
00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:21.680
<v Speaker 1>just I'm scared of being disappointed. I think more.

320
00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:25.319
<v Speaker 2>No. Okay, and I know you have dropped Audible, but

321
00:23:25.359 --> 00:23:27.519
<v Speaker 2>the audiobook is only available.

322
00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:31.519
<v Speaker 5>On Audible right now. Really, yes, it is an Audible exclusive.

323
00:23:31.599 --> 00:23:34.720
<v Speaker 5>It is also on Kindle unlimited. So the e book

324
00:23:34.759 --> 00:23:41.200
<v Speaker 5>is available on Kindle unlimited, y'all. I could not get

325
00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:42.920
<v Speaker 5>into this book. About six months ago.

326
00:23:43.599 --> 00:23:45.960
<v Speaker 2>I finally was like, you know, people keep telling me,

327
00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:48.960
<v Speaker 2>like I had somebody message me and go, Katie, have

328
00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:51.640
<v Speaker 2>you read Dungeon Carlo Carl. You absolutely need to read

329
00:23:51.720 --> 00:23:54.039
<v Speaker 2>Dungeon color car and you need to listen to the narration.

330
00:23:56.480 --> 00:24:00.200
<v Speaker 2>It was magical It was exactly what I needed for

331
00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:06.079
<v Speaker 2>like a very a very dumb book where I don't

332
00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:09.279
<v Speaker 2>have to think about things too much, and I think

333
00:24:09.440 --> 00:24:13.400
<v Speaker 2>there's very easy for me to follow. There's seven books.

334
00:24:13.079 --> 00:24:14.839
<v Speaker 1>Out seven Yeah, I was just about to say, I

335
00:24:14.839 --> 00:24:16.559
<v Speaker 1>think there's eight books.

336
00:24:16.920 --> 00:24:19.519
<v Speaker 2>The eighth book comes out in three weeks.

337
00:24:20.039 --> 00:24:24.240
<v Speaker 1>So man, he is just pumping those books out. Seventh

338
00:24:24.240 --> 00:24:26.799
<v Speaker 1>when it came out last year.

339
00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:30.519
<v Speaker 2>I think he's doing them about every six months. It

340
00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:34.240
<v Speaker 2>looks like, yeah, which if that's the only thing you're writing,

341
00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:37.279
<v Speaker 2>which it looks like it is, I feel like that's realistic.

342
00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:38.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

343
00:24:39.240 --> 00:24:42.480
<v Speaker 2>But like Rebecca Yarros, for instance, she puts out about

344
00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:46.039
<v Speaker 2>two books a year. Yeah, So I feel like that's

345
00:24:46.079 --> 00:24:55.720
<v Speaker 2>realistic numbers, but very fun book. The Narrator is absolutely hysterical.

346
00:24:56.279 --> 00:25:00.279
<v Speaker 2>I love it. So if you have not gotten into it,

347
00:25:01.279 --> 00:25:04.039
<v Speaker 2>I'd just like to tell you that it was great.

348
00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:07.359
<v Speaker 1>And there's multiple different things that you can get into, guys.

349
00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:12.279
<v Speaker 1>When it comes to Dungeon Carl Dungeon Crawler Carl, there

350
00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:16.759
<v Speaker 1>is the uh, the book, there is the graphic novel,

351
00:25:16.839 --> 00:25:21.079
<v Speaker 1>and there is also the web tunes that is also online.

352
00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:24.359
<v Speaker 2>Because I thought this was right up my brother's Alley

353
00:25:24.799 --> 00:25:27.880
<v Speaker 2>because it's like very video gamey and stuff, and so

354
00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:29.319
<v Speaker 2>I sent him a text. I was like, I need

355
00:25:29.359 --> 00:25:32.160
<v Speaker 2>you to know you don't have to read this, but

356
00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:36.079
<v Speaker 2>I got the first audio book for Dungeon Carler Carl

357
00:25:36.279 --> 00:25:38.319
<v Speaker 2>if you want to listen to it. Because my mom

358
00:25:38.359 --> 00:25:41.119
<v Speaker 2>and I are like on the Amazon family. We both

359
00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:43.519
<v Speaker 2>pay for Amazon, but we link so we can get

360
00:25:43.559 --> 00:25:49.319
<v Speaker 2>each other's libraries. Yeah, I was like, I think this

361
00:25:49.319 --> 00:25:51.279
<v Speaker 2>would totally be your jam and he was like, yeah,

362
00:25:51.319 --> 00:25:53.519
<v Speaker 2>I've been reading the web tunes for the past six month.

363
00:25:53.839 --> 00:25:54.799
<v Speaker 2>It's phenomenal.

364
00:25:55.319 --> 00:25:59.119
<v Speaker 1>So the uh oh shoot, what was I gonna say?

365
00:25:59.160 --> 00:26:04.359
<v Speaker 1>The the genre is technically, uh light RPG.

366
00:26:05.000 --> 00:26:07.839
<v Speaker 2>So is that how you pronounced that because I've always

367
00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:09.359
<v Speaker 2>pronounced that lit RPG.

368
00:26:09.920 --> 00:26:11.359
<v Speaker 1>No, it's it's it's light RPG.

369
00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:15.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay, what what? Why is it light RPG?

370
00:26:16.279 --> 00:26:21.000
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea. Okay, I like, it's same thing

371
00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:25.680
<v Speaker 1>as like the the manga novels. They're called light novels,

372
00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:30.039
<v Speaker 1>and it's it's literally l E T light novels. I

373
00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:33.559
<v Speaker 1>don't know if it's an abbreviation for something, but it's

374
00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:38.039
<v Speaker 1>it's l a T light novels.

375
00:26:38.079 --> 00:26:41.240
<v Speaker 2>Interesting, but we are gonna be.

376
00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:47.359
<v Speaker 1>Talking about episodes five and six of mal shadow Lord,

377
00:26:47.480 --> 00:26:54.160
<v Speaker 1>episode five being Inquisition and six being Night of the Hunted.

378
00:26:55.359 --> 00:27:00.160
<v Speaker 1>Of course we can talk about these two episodes together, Katie.

379
00:27:01.359 --> 00:27:03.599
<v Speaker 2>So I think we just need to go ahead and

380
00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:05.200
<v Speaker 2>knock this part out.

381
00:27:05.599 --> 00:27:07.079
<v Speaker 1>I feel like the.

382
00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:12.359
<v Speaker 2>Animation and the music still on part very good, very phenomenal.

383
00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:14.119
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to keep repeating that, but I feel

384
00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:17.559
<v Speaker 2>like we need to acknowledge it every week because the rest.

385
00:27:17.359 --> 00:27:23.359
<v Speaker 1>Of it, well, So I needed to ask you specifically.

386
00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:29.279
<v Speaker 1>I am not usually one, and I'm not saying that

387
00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:34.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm not woken off or whatever, but when it comes

388
00:27:35.759 --> 00:27:41.160
<v Speaker 1>to how animation has been treated, especially overseas with anime,

389
00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:48.400
<v Speaker 1>there is always a warning of hey, this has you know,

390
00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:54.079
<v Speaker 1>shining lights, this could cause epilepsy, like episodes and all

391
00:27:54.079 --> 00:27:58.920
<v Speaker 1>of that stuff. Okay, with your migraines. Episode six had

392
00:27:58.960 --> 00:28:04.799
<v Speaker 1>a very intense lightsaber fights on the tray. How did

393
00:28:04.839 --> 00:28:05.759
<v Speaker 1>you feel about that.

394
00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:10.640
<v Speaker 2>I did not have any issues with that, which is

395
00:28:10.720 --> 00:28:16.519
<v Speaker 2>like I really haven't. I really don't typically deal with it.

396
00:28:16.559 --> 00:28:21.640
<v Speaker 2>When it comes to animation, it's always typically live action

397
00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:24.319
<v Speaker 2>that does it. I think it's just a different way

398
00:28:24.359 --> 00:28:30.720
<v Speaker 2>the light works. Okay, Sorry, I hear my toddler crying

399
00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:35.480
<v Speaker 2>the background. But I think it's just a different light

400
00:28:35.559 --> 00:28:42.000
<v Speaker 2>spectrum because certain like I can't think of the light bulb,

401
00:28:43.000 --> 00:28:51.000
<v Speaker 2>but like the new light bulbs versus incandescence, those can

402
00:28:51.039 --> 00:28:55.720
<v Speaker 2>sometimes give me migraines, especially the way they sound and stuff.

403
00:28:55.880 --> 00:28:58.039
<v Speaker 2>So I feel like with the animation, it's a different

404
00:28:58.079 --> 00:29:01.039
<v Speaker 2>light spectrum that they're using. So even I know it's flashing,

405
00:29:01.640 --> 00:29:04.440
<v Speaker 2>it's not causing the same effect. Because I've definitely had

406
00:29:04.519 --> 00:29:07.799
<v Speaker 2>that where I had to go like, I'm covered my eyes,

407
00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:08.720
<v Speaker 2>tell me when it's done.

408
00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:13.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I didn't have that. I know that you've You've

409
00:29:13.279 --> 00:29:15.079
<v Speaker 1>talked to me about that before, so I wanted to

410
00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:18.880
<v Speaker 1>just see if that was a problem for you. I recently,

411
00:29:20.240 --> 00:29:23.079
<v Speaker 1>especially when an anime, it kind of annoys me. So

412
00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:27.839
<v Speaker 1>like the way that anime studios get away with it. Nowadays,

413
00:29:28.400 --> 00:29:32.519
<v Speaker 1>they still have like the bright flashing lights, but they

414
00:29:32.680 --> 00:29:39.039
<v Speaker 1>literally put a dimming effect on the entire screen, on

415
00:29:39.079 --> 00:29:44.119
<v Speaker 1>the entire ratio of the frame. They just dim everything

416
00:29:44.240 --> 00:29:48.720
<v Speaker 1>and it kind of looks like, uh, like you put

417
00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:51.039
<v Speaker 1>the brightness on your phone. It looks like they turn

418
00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:55.000
<v Speaker 1>it down for like literally zero point five seconds and

419
00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:57.640
<v Speaker 1>then it goes back up whenever the flashing lights are gone.

420
00:29:58.319 --> 00:30:01.079
<v Speaker 1>That kind of gets annoying. Spec actually if it happens

421
00:30:01.119 --> 00:30:06.519
<v Speaker 1>periodically in one episode this there's nothing like that here.

422
00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:12.440
<v Speaker 1>But when the Inquisitor was fighting Devin spoilers of course,

423
00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:17.000
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna talk about it anyway, and Maul entered the scene,

424
00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:22.480
<v Speaker 1>there was just also guys again animation, the paint stroke

425
00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:26.680
<v Speaker 1>effect gorgeous in the lightsaber fighting. Oh, I love it.

426
00:30:28.200 --> 00:30:30.920
<v Speaker 1>But it did give me a thought of, like, I

427
00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:35.440
<v Speaker 1>wonder if anybody's actually having a problem with the amount

428
00:30:35.559 --> 00:30:40.640
<v Speaker 1>of craziness, that craziness that's going on currently with these

429
00:30:40.680 --> 00:30:43.640
<v Speaker 1>fight scenes. But if not, that's totally cool. That's totally cool.

430
00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:50.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because I know everybody's different with what affects them,

431
00:30:51.200 --> 00:30:57.319
<v Speaker 2>so it would be interesting to know because like I

432
00:30:57.480 --> 00:31:02.799
<v Speaker 2>told you before, like it literally the flashing that can

433
00:31:02.839 --> 00:31:06.960
<v Speaker 2>get me, and it's typically very white and black like

434
00:31:07.839 --> 00:31:15.160
<v Speaker 2>that aspect like the Captain America, it was bullshit, who

435
00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:18.319
<v Speaker 2>the fuck does that? I'm sorry, it really pissed me off.

436
00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:24.200
<v Speaker 2>So there, I didn't have any problems with it. I

437
00:31:24.240 --> 00:31:26.599
<v Speaker 2>was able to watch the scene in its entirety.

438
00:31:27.039 --> 00:31:32.160
<v Speaker 1>Okay, cool, cool, cool, Now I have two prediction questions

439
00:31:32.200 --> 00:31:39.480
<v Speaker 1>for you because these, uh, there was two instances where

440
00:31:40.079 --> 00:31:43.960
<v Speaker 1>it's subtle. It's subtle enough that you don't really question

441
00:31:44.160 --> 00:31:46.079
<v Speaker 1>too much about it, but it's just like, you know,

442
00:31:46.640 --> 00:31:50.640
<v Speaker 1>something happens, you're like, okay, let's move on, Chief Claice

443
00:31:52.319 --> 00:32:02.319
<v Speaker 1>and Master Doo Docy. Yes, Chief Claie, it's removed from

444
00:32:02.440 --> 00:32:12.480
<v Speaker 1>her position indefinitely. Yeah, do we see her again? You

445
00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:12.960
<v Speaker 1>don't think so.

446
00:32:13.960 --> 00:32:15.839
<v Speaker 2>I think she got sent to one of the first

447
00:32:16.039 --> 00:32:19.480
<v Speaker 2>Empire in prison prison camps.

448
00:32:19.880 --> 00:32:25.119
<v Speaker 1>I think so as well. And then two after the

449
00:32:25.240 --> 00:32:31.680
<v Speaker 1>chase scene with Devin and Dio Docy, Theodoci jumps down

450
00:32:31.880 --> 00:32:35.200
<v Speaker 1>and he grunts any kind of like you know, staggers

451
00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:38.680
<v Speaker 1>and says, Master, are you okay? And he says no,

452
00:32:39.400 --> 00:32:44.559
<v Speaker 1>but I'm not dead yet. Does he die? I think

453
00:32:44.559 --> 00:32:47.319
<v Speaker 1>he's dead by the end of the of the season.

454
00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:47.880
<v Speaker 1>You think so?

455
00:32:48.039 --> 00:32:53.119
<v Speaker 2>I think so, And I no longer think that. Not

456
00:32:53.240 --> 00:32:55.119
<v Speaker 2>that I thought this, I just thought it would be cool.

457
00:32:55.200 --> 00:32:58.200
<v Speaker 2>But I think we're gonna end up with a season

458
00:32:58.279 --> 00:33:01.720
<v Speaker 2>two directly happens after this. It's not going to be

459
00:33:01.839 --> 00:33:05.079
<v Speaker 2>any sort of major time jump. It's gonna be mall

460
00:33:05.160 --> 00:33:12.680
<v Speaker 2>with Devin and her kind of like dealing with the

461
00:33:12.920 --> 00:33:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh my master died. Oh but the empire is bad.

462
00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:19.519
<v Speaker 2>Oh but Mall is also bad. But the enemy of

463
00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:20.720
<v Speaker 2>my enemy is my friend.

464
00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:23.759
<v Speaker 1>Kind of Mall is all I have, you know what

465
00:33:23.880 --> 00:33:27.160
<v Speaker 1>type of thing. I was kind of thinking the same thing,

466
00:33:27.319 --> 00:33:34.240
<v Speaker 1>especially with what developed at the end of this episode.

467
00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:41.119
<v Speaker 1>I questioned at the beginning of episode five, there is

468
00:33:41.160 --> 00:33:47.480
<v Speaker 1>a scene where Mall, I believe is it episode five

469
00:33:47.559 --> 00:33:48.880
<v Speaker 1>or is it episode.

470
00:33:48.720 --> 00:33:52.599
<v Speaker 2>Episode six has him doing the lightsaber training on his own.

471
00:33:52.920 --> 00:33:59.599
<v Speaker 1>Yes, episode six, I asked threads, Hey, has anybody figured

472
00:33:59.640 --> 00:34:09.840
<v Speaker 1>out what battle was Mal mimicking, because there's you know,

473
00:34:10.679 --> 00:34:12.880
<v Speaker 1>I just feel like Star Wars would definitely do that,

474
00:34:13.400 --> 00:34:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Like is he sensing some fight in the future. I

475
00:34:17.559 --> 00:34:20.719
<v Speaker 1>even watched the last fight again to see if he

476
00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:24.599
<v Speaker 1>mimics some of the same moves he does maybe once

477
00:34:24.719 --> 00:34:27.280
<v Speaker 1>or twice. I was like, Oh, that's so cool. If

478
00:34:27.280 --> 00:34:31.519
<v Speaker 1>he was able to know, like, hey, this fight is

479
00:34:31.559 --> 00:34:35.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna happen, I know exactly how to defend myself because

480
00:34:35.800 --> 00:34:38.039
<v Speaker 1>of the whole conversation we had last week about this

481
00:34:38.079 --> 00:34:44.440
<v Speaker 1>whole like mal profit thing. Yeah, well, somebody picked up

482
00:34:44.639 --> 00:34:47.320
<v Speaker 1>on a very like it's literally a blink and you

483
00:34:47.360 --> 00:34:53.440
<v Speaker 1>miss it. Frame in that sequence of him doing the training,

484
00:34:55.480 --> 00:34:59.960
<v Speaker 1>he holds a very famous pose that was held by

485
00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:06.039
<v Speaker 1>Star Killer in the video game, so it is yes,

486
00:35:06.199 --> 00:35:12.440
<v Speaker 1>So it's literally just like how the showrunners had said, Hey,

487
00:35:12.480 --> 00:35:18.800
<v Speaker 1>there is some light homages to the forced Unleash. This

488
00:35:18.960 --> 00:35:22.480
<v Speaker 1>was one of them. So they did that entire sequence.

489
00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:29.239
<v Speaker 2>Well, go ahead, My guess was gonna be the Palpatine

490
00:35:29.280 --> 00:35:33.920
<v Speaker 2>fight that he has with Savage.

491
00:35:33.480 --> 00:35:36.960
<v Speaker 1>And Mal Oh. Yeah, it was him kind of like.

492
00:35:36.960 --> 00:35:39.760
<v Speaker 2>Redoing that because we know that fight beat him up.

493
00:35:40.360 --> 00:35:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, oh, that would make sense. So he feels like

494
00:35:44.519 --> 00:35:46.760
<v Speaker 1>he needs to practice that fight over and over to

495
00:35:46.800 --> 00:35:50.000
<v Speaker 1>see what he did wrong. Oh. I like that kind

496
00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:53.880
<v Speaker 1>of messes with his mentality also, But I also like

497
00:35:53.960 --> 00:35:57.599
<v Speaker 1>the idea of they made that entire sequence just to

498
00:35:57.719 --> 00:36:02.719
<v Speaker 1>hide one frame as an homage to for Sun Leaves.

499
00:36:02.719 --> 00:36:05.039
<v Speaker 1>I like that as well. So I think that is

500
00:36:05.119 --> 00:36:11.079
<v Speaker 1>very very cool. Also, when we're talking about characters and

501
00:36:11.119 --> 00:36:13.320
<v Speaker 1>how they are changing, if we will see them again

502
00:36:13.360 --> 00:36:16.519
<v Speaker 1>and all of that, a new development. Of course, the

503
00:36:16.559 --> 00:36:20.320
<v Speaker 1>Empire has come in. They have taken over, and we

504
00:36:20.400 --> 00:36:26.079
<v Speaker 1>now see this, Uh what's his name is it, lieutenant?

505
00:36:26.920 --> 00:36:33.920
<v Speaker 1>What is his name? I think it is Blake actually,

506
00:36:35.559 --> 00:36:37.280
<v Speaker 1>but I don't know if he's a lieutenant or not.

507
00:36:37.440 --> 00:36:38.239
<v Speaker 1>Is he a lieutenant?

508
00:36:38.320 --> 00:36:39.840
<v Speaker 2>It is he is a lieutenant.

509
00:36:40.440 --> 00:36:47.840
<v Speaker 1>Okay, it is Lieutenant Blake. Who are you? Yeah, Lieutenant Blake.

510
00:36:49.000 --> 00:36:56.239
<v Speaker 1>Lieutenant Blake has taken over the department and two Boots

511
00:36:56.880 --> 00:37:01.119
<v Speaker 1>is you know, just doing what a what his protocols

512
00:37:01.199 --> 00:37:08.639
<v Speaker 1>call for? Yep, another prediction for you. Does two Boots

513
00:37:09.280 --> 00:37:13.760
<v Speaker 1>change his ways? And is is it all gonna be?

514
00:37:13.760 --> 00:37:17.239
<v Speaker 1>Because Lieutenant Blake told him to change his shoes?

515
00:37:18.400 --> 00:37:23.639
<v Speaker 2>I was thinking the exact same thing. I was like, Uh, dude,

516
00:37:23.679 --> 00:37:25.960
<v Speaker 2>this is the guy who called you in to follow

517
00:37:26.039 --> 00:37:30.440
<v Speaker 2>protocol and I get he's not wearing that the boots

518
00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:36.840
<v Speaker 2>are not regulation, but uh, you just fucked up well.

519
00:37:36.840 --> 00:37:40.599
<v Speaker 1>And the thing is like, we know that droids are droids.

520
00:37:40.639 --> 00:37:43.280
<v Speaker 1>They follow protocols. It's very simple for them to do so.

521
00:37:43.519 --> 00:37:48.760
<v Speaker 1>Not a lot of droids show too much emotion. Correct, yes,

522
00:37:48.800 --> 00:37:55.639
<v Speaker 1>but two Boots has shown that he has enough of

523
00:37:55.679 --> 00:38:02.079
<v Speaker 1>a connection to Lawson to show a little bit of

524
00:38:03.599 --> 00:38:07.719
<v Speaker 1>regret or some sort of other emotions towards him. Remember

525
00:38:07.760 --> 00:38:10.119
<v Speaker 1>when he was on desk duty, he moved everything in

526
00:38:10.159 --> 00:38:12.840
<v Speaker 1>front of the picture so he wouldn't see him. So

527
00:38:14.519 --> 00:38:17.920
<v Speaker 1>he has a connection to two Boots. It's not just

528
00:38:18.000 --> 00:38:24.920
<v Speaker 1>a nickname, you know. So I'm thinking him realizing, oh,

529
00:38:25.039 --> 00:38:28.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm no longer going to be known as two Boots anymore.

530
00:38:29.400 --> 00:38:32.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gonna be the same old droid as everybody

531
00:38:32.239 --> 00:38:37.119
<v Speaker 1>else in this facility. He's gonna realize, oh, I don't

532
00:38:37.159 --> 00:38:41.039
<v Speaker 1>have the freedoms that I did. I think he's gonna

533
00:38:41.039 --> 00:38:42.639
<v Speaker 1>go out and help Lawson.

534
00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:46.800
<v Speaker 2>He's gonna help Lawson and Riley get off planet.

535
00:38:47.679 --> 00:38:49.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think so.

536
00:38:49.840 --> 00:38:52.239
<v Speaker 2>And I felt bad for Riley. But Roy he's just

537
00:38:52.280 --> 00:38:58.800
<v Speaker 2>doing probably his his good southern Southern duty and like

538
00:38:58.920 --> 00:39:01.280
<v Speaker 2>pulling people off the street, like oh, you say, you

539
00:39:01.320 --> 00:39:05.039
<v Speaker 2>know my dad, My dad's a cop. Cool, like we're

540
00:39:05.079 --> 00:39:06.079
<v Speaker 2>helping people.

541
00:39:06.599 --> 00:39:09.599
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, I don't think he had any like ill

542
00:39:09.639 --> 00:39:14.519
<v Speaker 1>will at all. And of course I don't believe Diodoci

543
00:39:14.719 --> 00:39:18.719
<v Speaker 1>was like, hey, where Jedi help us please? Yeah, they

544
00:39:18.760 --> 00:39:25.039
<v Speaker 1>were probably a little bit sneaky about it, not gonna lie.

545
00:39:23.480 --> 00:39:30.119
<v Speaker 6>But I like, I'm I'm curious to see if he's

546
00:39:30.159 --> 00:39:32.679
<v Speaker 6>going to just be the dead weight around Devin and

547
00:39:32.719 --> 00:39:37.079
<v Speaker 6>mal right now, like, what is what is the purpose

548
00:39:37.159 --> 00:39:42.440
<v Speaker 6>of bringing Riley into the mix other than hey now

549
00:39:42.559 --> 00:39:46.840
<v Speaker 6>lost and has even more reason to work with mal

550
00:39:47.119 --> 00:39:49.400
<v Speaker 6>you know, yeah.

551
00:39:49.119 --> 00:39:53.000
<v Speaker 2>And I don't like that. I don't like pulling a

552
00:39:53.039 --> 00:39:54.840
<v Speaker 2>kid into this. I feel like Star Wars has done

553
00:39:54.840 --> 00:39:58.559
<v Speaker 2>this enough again. It's the repetitiveness where we keep telling

554
00:39:58.599 --> 00:40:05.440
<v Speaker 2>the same things over and over. Like I just wish

555
00:40:05.480 --> 00:40:07.559
<v Speaker 2>that Riley hadn't been brought into this. I would have

556
00:40:08.159 --> 00:40:11.760
<v Speaker 2>like I understand that Dio, Docky and Devin probably had

557
00:40:11.800 --> 00:40:14.480
<v Speaker 2>no idea what an inquisitor was, because the inquisitors have

558
00:40:14.559 --> 00:40:19.960
<v Speaker 2>only probably just started, like your year past Revenge of

559
00:40:20.000 --> 00:40:22.920
<v Speaker 2>the Sith. It totally makes sense like they've been training

560
00:40:22.960 --> 00:40:26.159
<v Speaker 2>on Coruscant, but they probably really haven't been doing missions.

561
00:40:28.599 --> 00:40:34.280
<v Speaker 2>And so it makes me nervous for Riley because I

562
00:40:34.320 --> 00:40:38.000
<v Speaker 2>feel bad because Brightley is the star athlete and now

563
00:40:38.039 --> 00:40:40.360
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden he's been dragged out and is

564
00:40:40.440 --> 00:40:43.800
<v Speaker 2>now being on the run because he made the mistake

565
00:40:43.840 --> 00:40:46.119
<v Speaker 2>of bringing in Jedi. It wasn't necessarily that he did

566
00:40:46.159 --> 00:40:49.719
<v Speaker 2>this out of like weirdness or the Dio Docky and

567
00:40:49.800 --> 00:40:52.480
<v Speaker 2>Devin didn't go, oh, we're informants, we need to talk

568
00:40:52.519 --> 00:40:56.920
<v Speaker 2>to your dad, like he really was just trying to

569
00:40:56.920 --> 00:41:00.280
<v Speaker 2>be kind and because of his kindness, now he's worked

570
00:41:00.320 --> 00:41:00.719
<v Speaker 2>on the run.

571
00:41:01.159 --> 00:41:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Well, not only that one thing that I was not

572
00:41:04.519 --> 00:41:08.280
<v Speaker 1>expecting that them do that they actually did do. We

573
00:41:08.440 --> 00:41:12.840
<v Speaker 1>got to see the mother. The mother shows up of

574
00:41:12.880 --> 00:41:15.920
<v Speaker 1>course because of Riley and lets her know, like, hey,

575
00:41:16.039 --> 00:41:19.840
<v Speaker 1>something's going on. Dad is involved. You know what can

576
00:41:19.880 --> 00:41:24.280
<v Speaker 1>we do? And of course I think I think the

577
00:41:24.360 --> 00:41:28.559
<v Speaker 1>mother kind of knows how dangerous the Empire can be,

578
00:41:28.559 --> 00:41:31.119
<v Speaker 1>because she's just like, hey, fo, follow protocol, just do

579
00:41:31.199 --> 00:41:33.559
<v Speaker 1>what everything that is asked of you, blah blah blah.

580
00:41:33.599 --> 00:41:39.280
<v Speaker 1>Everything will be fine. So we'll see if she gets involved.

581
00:41:40.199 --> 00:41:42.400
<v Speaker 1>I could see her being a little bit more involved

582
00:41:42.480 --> 00:41:48.599
<v Speaker 1>in season two if we continue with lost In story. Yeah,

583
00:41:49.239 --> 00:41:53.360
<v Speaker 1>but I I agree with you. I don't think they

584
00:41:53.440 --> 00:41:59.159
<v Speaker 1>necessarily needed to bring Riley into the mix when it

585
00:41:59.199 --> 00:42:04.039
<v Speaker 1>comes to everything else, like okay, having him welcome them

586
00:42:04.039 --> 00:42:17.639
<v Speaker 1>into his home whatever, yeah whatever. Loss In, although we

587
00:42:17.760 --> 00:42:20.559
<v Speaker 1>said last week, is kind of the run of the mill,

588
00:42:21.960 --> 00:42:28.440
<v Speaker 1>kind of predictable character. Yeah, you need to give him

589
00:42:28.880 --> 00:42:32.760
<v Speaker 1>storylines that we haven't already seen before. That's what's going

590
00:42:32.840 --> 00:42:35.920
<v Speaker 1>to get him to be more and more interesting. We

591
00:42:35.960 --> 00:42:39.480
<v Speaker 1>see that he has some sort of past working with

592
00:42:39.519 --> 00:42:42.760
<v Speaker 1>bounty hunters in the past that is I can't remember

593
00:42:42.840 --> 00:42:44.440
<v Speaker 1>her name off the top of my head, who helps

594
00:42:44.480 --> 00:42:51.159
<v Speaker 1>them in episode six, But like, let's go that route,

595
00:42:51.239 --> 00:42:53.920
<v Speaker 1>let's see what that's all about. Let's let's learn about

596
00:42:54.000 --> 00:42:58.559
<v Speaker 1>him a little more. And like, genuinely, now that I'm

597
00:42:58.599 --> 00:43:03.360
<v Speaker 1>thinking about it, I can already see uh Lucasfilm Publishing

598
00:43:03.639 --> 00:43:06.039
<v Speaker 1>probably already pitching a loss in book.

599
00:43:07.159 --> 00:43:13.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, probably to tackle that story or potentially a comic though.

600
00:43:13.199 --> 00:43:16.159
<v Speaker 2>I know, like we talked about last week, Marvel Comics

601
00:43:16.199 --> 00:43:18.760
<v Speaker 2>staffing gotten gutted, so we might not see his many

602
00:43:18.760 --> 00:43:23.239
<v Speaker 2>frequent uh comic stories out of Marvel, But that could

603
00:43:23.320 --> 00:43:26.119
<v Speaker 2>make sense, especially with season two coming. Like you could

604
00:43:26.159 --> 00:43:28.920
<v Speaker 2>potentially time it right before season two because season two

605
00:43:28.960 --> 00:43:33.159
<v Speaker 2>is probably next year, so you could time it along

606
00:43:33.239 --> 00:43:36.000
<v Speaker 2>the same uh frame of things.

607
00:43:36.480 --> 00:43:41.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, for sure. Trying to think if there's anything else,

608
00:43:43.599 --> 00:43:44.079
<v Speaker 1>what if you.

609
00:43:44.039 --> 00:43:49.320
<v Speaker 2>Think about moroc or Merrick. Obviously they're not said in

610
00:43:49.400 --> 00:43:50.360
<v Speaker 2>this but.

611
00:43:50.519 --> 00:43:55.599
<v Speaker 1>The inquisitor, Yeah, I think he right now is just

612
00:43:56.320 --> 00:43:59.599
<v Speaker 1>the run of the mill inquisitors. He's not really showing

613
00:43:59.639 --> 00:44:07.400
<v Speaker 1>anything other than the want to hunt and kill and

614
00:44:07.519 --> 00:44:08.000
<v Speaker 1>he is.

615
00:44:08.599 --> 00:44:12.239
<v Speaker 2>This guy is the first brother, which makes sense why

616
00:44:12.280 --> 00:44:15.719
<v Speaker 2>he's kind of on one of the first missions because

617
00:44:15.760 --> 00:44:19.239
<v Speaker 2>he's the first really allowed out of the pen, that

618
00:44:19.440 --> 00:44:24.280
<v Speaker 2>is the torture dungeon of the inquisitors. Ye, so that

619
00:44:24.360 --> 00:44:25.159
<v Speaker 2>doesn't make sense.

620
00:44:28.599 --> 00:44:34.519
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, he like we know that he tortured the

621
00:44:34.639 --> 00:44:39.360
<v Speaker 1>chief because when Lawson goes into the interrogation room, he

622
00:44:39.480 --> 00:44:50.199
<v Speaker 1>notices the the nail grooves into the table and he

623
00:44:51.480 --> 00:44:54.039
<v Speaker 1>is doing his own investigation to find Mall. But he

624
00:44:54.079 --> 00:44:59.880
<v Speaker 1>also is following Lawson, which is why he abruptly crashes

625
00:45:00.079 --> 00:45:05.000
<v Speaker 1>the loss in household. But yeah, he right now, he's

626
00:45:05.039 --> 00:45:07.000
<v Speaker 1>just a runner, a mill inquisitor. I don't think we're

627
00:45:07.000 --> 00:45:10.880
<v Speaker 1>going to get much backstory out of him. I think

628
00:45:10.920 --> 00:45:13.519
<v Speaker 1>he is literally just there for the lightsaber fights.

629
00:45:14.960 --> 00:45:19.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't think so either. I do think I

630
00:45:20.199 --> 00:45:24.920
<v Speaker 2>still am kind of on the lines that he's going

631
00:45:25.000 --> 00:45:28.920
<v Speaker 2>to die in Mall. And that's why we don't see

632
00:45:28.960 --> 00:45:33.960
<v Speaker 2>him later on in the process is because he dies.

633
00:45:35.920 --> 00:45:39.159
<v Speaker 2>And that would again, if he dies, especially by Mall's hand,

634
00:45:39.199 --> 00:45:41.400
<v Speaker 2>it would makes sense why the Knight sisters bring him

635
00:45:41.440 --> 00:45:45.440
<v Speaker 2>back specifically because they knew he gave mal so much trouble,

636
00:45:45.480 --> 00:45:48.480
<v Speaker 2>so therefore he could be a force to be reckoned with.

637
00:45:52.239 --> 00:45:57.599
<v Speaker 1>Now I do want to bring up let me actually

638
00:45:57.840 --> 00:45:59.960
<v Speaker 1>scroll all the way up when we were talking about

639
00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:07.400
<v Speaker 1>got it uh Brent over at of course Marvel Alliance

640
00:46:07.519 --> 00:46:12.320
<v Speaker 1>a gua. He says, I have seen Mal. I like

641
00:46:12.400 --> 00:46:15.800
<v Speaker 1>the show, but I do wish he had more actual

642
00:46:15.960 --> 00:46:21.079
<v Speaker 1>screen time. How do you feel about And I know

643
00:46:21.119 --> 00:46:27.360
<v Speaker 1>we've talked about this before title name and we hardly

644
00:46:27.400 --> 00:46:28.920
<v Speaker 1>see the character right.

645
00:46:28.760 --> 00:46:30.960
<v Speaker 2>And we talked about it last week where we don't

646
00:46:31.000 --> 00:46:34.440
<v Speaker 2>feel like Mal is getting enough screen time for really

647
00:46:34.480 --> 00:46:38.079
<v Speaker 2>go okay, we're focusing on the side of characters. Where's

648
00:46:38.159 --> 00:46:43.280
<v Speaker 2>ma Like, there's no new details for Mal and I

649
00:46:43.280 --> 00:46:45.159
<v Speaker 2>would agree with that. I'm trying not to harp on

650
00:46:45.199 --> 00:46:47.920
<v Speaker 2>that too too much because I just don't want to

651
00:46:47.920 --> 00:46:51.079
<v Speaker 2>be repeating myself weech week, But yes, he doesn't have

652
00:46:51.199 --> 00:46:55.719
<v Speaker 2>enough screen time for this to be defined clearly as well.

653
00:46:56.360 --> 00:47:01.679
<v Speaker 2>And Lawson and Devin aren't spending enough time talking about

654
00:47:01.840 --> 00:47:06.800
<v Speaker 2>Mal to really make it worth the timeframe of like

655
00:47:07.719 --> 00:47:11.639
<v Speaker 2>we're throwing more details for what he's doing mm hmm

656
00:47:12.199 --> 00:47:15.679
<v Speaker 2>to expand Mall story. Mall is the title character here.

657
00:47:16.119 --> 00:47:18.679
<v Speaker 2>If you wanted to just call it this underworld, then

658
00:47:18.719 --> 00:47:24.360
<v Speaker 2>call it underworld like so, yes, I'm sorry, finish your thought.

659
00:47:24.599 --> 00:47:30.039
<v Speaker 1>I think one of the things when it comes to

660
00:47:32.480 --> 00:47:37.199
<v Speaker 1>Mall's story, and I think this is something that TV

661
00:47:37.440 --> 00:47:42.800
<v Speaker 1>overall has an issue with. My issue with TV is

662
00:47:44.519 --> 00:47:50.239
<v Speaker 1>all of the like big story plots with mal personally

663
00:47:50.719 --> 00:47:52.880
<v Speaker 1>won't come until the last three episodes.

664
00:47:54.079 --> 00:47:54.280
<v Speaker 2>Yep.

665
00:47:55.159 --> 00:47:58.440
<v Speaker 1>Everything else is a build up to, Oh, this is

666
00:47:58.440 --> 00:48:01.800
<v Speaker 1>what Mall was after all along, you know type of thing.

667
00:48:02.159 --> 00:48:06.519
<v Speaker 2>And this is the downside of having twenty minute episodes

668
00:48:08.000 --> 00:48:11.519
<v Speaker 2>and trying to justify it. The rest of the way

669
00:48:11.880 --> 00:48:15.039
<v Speaker 2>is you're losing yourself on storytime, and twenty minute episodes

670
00:48:15.440 --> 00:48:18.039
<v Speaker 2>makes sense when you have more episodes to play with

671
00:48:18.519 --> 00:48:21.320
<v Speaker 2>ten episodes, the timing doesn't make sense.

672
00:48:24.159 --> 00:48:26.760
<v Speaker 1>I and I apologize. I don't know if you guys

673
00:48:26.760 --> 00:48:30.760
<v Speaker 1>can hear my daughter. I can hear outside of my headphones,

674
00:48:30.800 --> 00:48:34.960
<v Speaker 1>and I'm just like, what is going on? She's she

675
00:48:35.039 --> 00:48:38.000
<v Speaker 1>sounds like she's having fun, So it's it's not terrible.

676
00:48:38.079 --> 00:48:38.760
<v Speaker 2>At least there's that.

677
00:48:40.239 --> 00:48:47.519
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I've we've talked about the very unfortunate, what

678
00:48:47.679 --> 00:48:52.519
<v Speaker 1>feels like downgrade to television, and I think it has

679
00:48:52.559 --> 00:48:57.239
<v Speaker 1>something to do with with our own undoing with the

680
00:48:57.400 --> 00:49:00.679
<v Speaker 1>fact that a lot of us are like twenty four episodes.

681
00:49:00.719 --> 00:49:03.000
<v Speaker 1>There's so much filler. Why do we need all this,

682
00:49:03.079 --> 00:49:06.800
<v Speaker 1>we could use just ten really great episodes blah blah blah,

683
00:49:06.960 --> 00:49:07.320
<v Speaker 1>and like.

684
00:49:07.320 --> 00:49:11.079
<v Speaker 2>They we were talking about ten episodes with forty five

685
00:49:11.119 --> 00:49:17.880
<v Speaker 2>minute long episodes that is all thirty minute or twenty minutes. Especially.

686
00:49:19.159 --> 00:49:22.679
<v Speaker 1>I asked, I asked Abby, why is Amberlin being so

687
00:49:22.800 --> 00:49:25.400
<v Speaker 1>loud right now? And she said she is being a ballerina,

688
00:49:25.880 --> 00:49:28.840
<v Speaker 1>So that is that is the reason. I never knew

689
00:49:28.880 --> 00:49:30.119
<v Speaker 1>ballerinas could be so loud.

690
00:49:31.679 --> 00:49:37.679
<v Speaker 3>So so yeah.

691
00:49:36.400 --> 00:49:39.400
<v Speaker 2>I told Maria tonight that barbecue was sausage because she

692
00:49:39.480 --> 00:49:41.639
<v Speaker 2>asked for sausage. I was like, this is a different

693
00:49:41.679 --> 00:49:45.000
<v Speaker 2>type of sausage. It's barbecue.

694
00:49:45.719 --> 00:49:50.280
<v Speaker 1>It's so funny teaching like Amberlyn those types of things

695
00:49:51.199 --> 00:49:54.800
<v Speaker 1>because like we we uh, like, of course down south

696
00:49:55.800 --> 00:49:58.800
<v Speaker 1>hot dogs are hot dogs. Up here, they are also

697
00:49:58.880 --> 00:50:01.519
<v Speaker 1>known as Coney's. So we're like, oh, we're gonna get Tony's.

698
00:50:02.039 --> 00:50:04.320
<v Speaker 1>And so she's like, ew, I don't want coney So

699
00:50:04.360 --> 00:50:06.079
<v Speaker 1>I was like, you eat Coney's all the time. They're

700
00:50:06.119 --> 00:50:08.719
<v Speaker 1>hot dogs. She's like, no, hot dog is not a cony.

701
00:50:08.760 --> 00:50:12.679
<v Speaker 1>Tony is not a Like she's so a matter of fact,

702
00:50:12.760 --> 00:50:15.039
<v Speaker 1>She's like, Dad, you don't know what you're talking about, Like,

703
00:50:15.599 --> 00:50:19.920
<v Speaker 1>stop stop lying to me. But yeah, like with with

704
00:50:20.039 --> 00:50:26.679
<v Speaker 1>the whole idea around like what we could have gotten

705
00:50:27.480 --> 00:50:30.719
<v Speaker 1>for the amount of television that we really want and

706
00:50:30.719 --> 00:50:35.880
<v Speaker 1>stuff like that, I do hope that in the future

707
00:50:36.599 --> 00:50:41.800
<v Speaker 1>we can get a little more. When it comes to

708
00:50:42.679 --> 00:50:46.760
<v Speaker 1>let's say bad Batch. Bad Batch started with how many

709
00:50:46.800 --> 00:50:48.679
<v Speaker 1>episodes in season one?

710
00:50:49.400 --> 00:50:50.639
<v Speaker 2>I feel like it was twenty.

711
00:50:51.360 --> 00:50:53.320
<v Speaker 1>I feel like it was twenty as well. I think

712
00:50:53.320 --> 00:50:56.239
<v Speaker 1>it was. It was a lot, and then by the

713
00:50:56.320 --> 00:50:59.559
<v Speaker 1>time season three came around, it down it like down

714
00:50:59.679 --> 00:51:04.639
<v Speaker 1>its actual let's see here, let's look for it.

715
00:51:09.639 --> 00:51:15.880
<v Speaker 2>So sixteen sixteen and fifteen Wow, I thought, I, you

716
00:51:15.920 --> 00:51:19.159
<v Speaker 2>know what, bad Batch had the seventy four minute first

717
00:51:19.199 --> 00:51:24.000
<v Speaker 2>episode of the season, So that's probably why I thought

718
00:51:24.000 --> 00:51:24.159
<v Speaker 2>it was.

719
00:51:24.239 --> 00:51:30.000
<v Speaker 1>That's probably why. But still adding five to six episodes

720
00:51:30.039 --> 00:51:32.840
<v Speaker 1>to something like Maul, I think will be very beneficial.

721
00:51:32.880 --> 00:51:33.800
<v Speaker 1>I think they should be.

722
00:51:33.840 --> 00:51:40.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because otherwise it just doesn't feel like it feels

723
00:51:40.159 --> 00:51:44.079
<v Speaker 2>like we're like drawing this out for a longer episode count.

724
00:51:44.559 --> 00:51:47.840
<v Speaker 2>M h and I don't think like you and I

725
00:51:47.880 --> 00:51:50.079
<v Speaker 2>both agreed, that's not how this should be done. You

726
00:51:50.159 --> 00:51:55.159
<v Speaker 2>need to finish a season should be a story with

727
00:51:55.400 --> 00:51:59.400
<v Speaker 2>potentially a cliffhanger to get you into the next season. Yes,

728
00:52:00.000 --> 00:52:05.440
<v Speaker 2>it's a complete story. And at this point it feels

729
00:52:05.480 --> 00:52:08.000
<v Speaker 2>like they said, oh, you know what, here's a here's

730
00:52:08.039 --> 00:52:11.920
<v Speaker 2>a story. We can put this in three seasons and

731
00:52:12.039 --> 00:52:15.880
<v Speaker 2>draw this out for three years, like instead of going,

732
00:52:16.280 --> 00:52:20.159
<v Speaker 2>here's one story, here's two stories, here's three stories. Oh hey,

733
00:52:20.199 --> 00:52:23.519
<v Speaker 2>all three stories lead into this one story overall, and

734
00:52:23.599 --> 00:52:24.159
<v Speaker 2>yeah it work.

735
00:52:26.199 --> 00:52:30.039
<v Speaker 1>Gotta love monetization and capitalism.

736
00:52:30.639 --> 00:52:40.719
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, yeah, uh, I I just want more.

737
00:52:41.000 --> 00:52:44.199
<v Speaker 1>I do. I want more. And I'm not saying that

738
00:52:44.239 --> 00:52:50.199
<v Speaker 1>this story right now is not good enough because I

739
00:52:50.280 --> 00:52:57.559
<v Speaker 1>think it is doing okay. But I know the potential

740
00:52:58.480 --> 00:53:02.519
<v Speaker 1>that Star Wars animation and has and this is not

741
00:53:02.760 --> 00:53:05.039
<v Speaker 1>up to part I will say.

742
00:53:04.840 --> 00:53:09.440
<v Speaker 2>That, yes, and I will finish with this. You're wasting

743
00:53:09.519 --> 00:53:12.960
<v Speaker 2>the talent of Sam Whitweer and everybody else involved. You

744
00:53:13.039 --> 00:53:16.440
<v Speaker 2>wanted Sam whitwre involved in more Star Wars storytelling. You

745
00:53:16.480 --> 00:53:18.199
<v Speaker 2>are wasting his talents right now?

746
00:53:19.119 --> 00:53:22.679
<v Speaker 1>Bingo, right, I think.
