And in nerd out from Mike, 0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:01.080 he's going to talk about what scene may close out 0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:03.040 the Mandalorian series. 0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:05.200 Of course, if you want to jump around, check the 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:07.720 timestamps that may or may not be accurate due to 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:11.319 issues beyond our control that we are working on, but 0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:13.440 check them anyway because they're there for you to check. 0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:18.360 Coming up next previously on First Up, Shake Up at 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:24.679 Disney at Marvel Entertainment, Newsflash March twenty nights New York Times. 0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:30.800 Ike Pearl Mutter out at Marvel. Here's the quote. Pearl 0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:33.120 Mutter was told by phone on Wednesday that Marvel Entertainment, 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:35.520 of small division centered on consumer products and run separately 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:37.880 from Marvel Studios, was done and would be folded into 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:42.160 larger Disney business units, according to two Disney executives briefed 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:44.240 on the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity 0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:49.040 to discuss his sensitive personal matter. Ike, for those of 0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:54.280 you not aware, is one of the execs who you 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:56.680 know has I think it's let's give him his due, 0:01:56.680 --> 0:02:01.080 has been a driving force behind certainly the early period 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:04.520 of the MCU, in the launch of the MCUH, and 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:13.640 is also a famously spinthrift individual who lobbied loudly and 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:21.720 vociferously and aggressively for not not I repeat not doing 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:26.560 diverse Marvel movies such as Black Panther and Captain Marvel. 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:29.440 He's really really mad that they made a Black Panther movie. 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:33.960 Arymed voted for Trump twice ed said he would do 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:36.320 so again in twenty twenty four. That's I Pearl Butter, 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:38.400 and he's out your thoughts. 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:41.480 He's erse night. Well, so yeah, I agree, you met 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:43.120 you have if you listened to the podcast we've had 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:46.359 us talk about. He is a very notorious figure in Marvel. 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:49.040 He was a board of directors at Marvel Comics in 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:51.720 late nineteen ninety three, went on to take over the 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:54.639 company with AVR. Rod from Toy Biz, and he was 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:57.800 the one who, eventually, after establishing Marvel Studios, would sell 0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:01.600 Marvel to Disney for four billion. Now my biggest thing here, 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:04.200 let's go back to that New York Times quote, because 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.520 this is huge, guys, and I know I can't help it. 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:09.640 I love this stuff. It makes me worried. Look, they say, 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:13.200 Marvel Entertainment, a small division centered on consumer products and 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:16.679 run separately from Marvel Studios, was redundant in the eyes 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:21.680 of Disney. So Marvel Entertainment is Marvel Comics, and the 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:25.720 consumer products that they sell are comic books. So I 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:27.880 would say that this is not the last that we've 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:31.840 heard of this news. I am very happy that Ike 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:35.520 is leaving, and hopefully with him a lot of those 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:39.160 outdated views not only on race and gender and all 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:41.240 that kind of stuff that you mentioned, but also on 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:43.880 the way workers are treated. He was known like you said, 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:46.400 for not spending money for cutting corners. 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:52.040 And it's also just like uh, you know, Kevin Feige 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:58.040 uh mm hmm, and others, not to mention returning CEO 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:02.240 Bob Iiger have had to spend in the past so 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:09.080 much energy like keeping I could pay that. Hopefully things 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:11.720 will get easier on their side now. 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:16.320 Yeah, fingers crossed. I am very interested that this news 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:18.680 came out the way it did because, like I saw 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:20.800 a great tweet where somebody said, you know, this is 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:24.680 like Trump arrest day for comic book fans like we have. 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:28.839 This is actually one of the biggest one of the 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:32.000 biggest shocks about this news is that Ike still had 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:35.960 any kind of responsibility because this chairman role that they 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:39.280 had given him had kind of it seemed like he'd 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:42.480 handed his responsibilities over to people like Figi Alan Fine. 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:45.520 So the fact that he is still needed to be 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:48.200 laid off was kind of a shock, but a good shock. 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:51.000 But I do not believe that Disney would have wanted 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:52.679 this to be the way the news came out, because 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:54.840 the question that me and many other people are now 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:58.120 asking is what happens to the comics division. In the 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:01.960 New York Times, they said Marvel Entertainer was based in 0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:05.279 New York City. Based on all of this reporting, the 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:08.400 Wikipedia page for Marvel Entertainment now says that the company 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:12.040 lo longer exists and is defunct. So we know Marvel's 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:14.039 still going to keep making comics. The question is what 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:16.560 does that look like and how does this impact the 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:18.760 people who work their day to day and also what 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:20.599 does it mean for Marvel to no longer be in 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:24.680 New York. DC comics takes place in all these made 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:28.719 up places, you know, Metropolis, Gotham, But let's think about Marvel. 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:31.120 It's like looking out your window. You're in the X Men, 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:34.360 You're in Westchester, you're in New York, you're with Spider Man. 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:37.520 That location has always been Marvel's home. 0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:40.679 Its famously based in New York for its entire life. 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:44.400 Although you know, like some might say, what's the big deal, 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:48.400 DC moved their comics offices to la some years ago, 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:51.919 blah blah blah, it is. It's a big shift, and 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:53.760 there's a lot of questions. We don't know about what. 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.279 This means exactly. That's it's about keeping our ears to 0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:59.240 the ground. If anyone from Marvel wants to let us 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:01.000 know what's going on. We would love to know. I'm 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:04.240 very interested, and I'm hoping that everyone at Marvel who 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:08.640 does great work making those comics is had prior knowledge 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:10.680 about this. I'm interested to see where it goes next. 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:13.080 But yeah, I'm very I'm living a Margaret thatcher ding 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:15.200 Dong the Witch is dead moment, Like obviously we're all 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:17.719 celebrating the Pike will no longer be a part of this. 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:19.560 I just want to know what's going on with the 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:20.040 comic Well. 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:22.159 Obviously a lot of information is still to emerge, but 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:28.520 it seems like I'm sorry to theorize, but here it is. 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:30.279 It's what we do. 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:33.560 It seems like a something like a more sub something 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:39.400 more substantive perhaps than a rebrand where they fold Marvel 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:43.320 Comics and start a new company called Marvel Comics Plus 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:47.920 or something. Yeah, that all the people the right, right, 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:51.039 that all the people that work for that company have 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:53.560 been fired but now are instantly hired to work for 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:57.240 this company that's a completely different entity. Slash it was sating. 0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:00.120 This is if you are somebody who loves comic books. 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:04.920 Ever since AT and T and Warner and these kind 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:09.159 of DC mergers that have been impacting DC comics for 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:13.240 so long, those conversations about what does a corporation know 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:15.520 about how to make comics? Will they get rid of 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:18.440 the comic harm will they license it out? That has 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:21.280 always been part of the conversation with Disney buying Marvel. 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:23.520 People wondered if this would happen. We don't know what 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:25.840 it's going to look like, but we can assume from 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:28.680 the fact that they're calling Marvel Entertainment redundant that it 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:29.480 will change. 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:29.800 Now. 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:31.840 I will say DC moving to LA was like a 0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:34.720 stroke of genius, and the DC offices are beautiful, and 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:37.560 they hire a bunch of wonderful different people who work there. 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.160 And I'm sure that there's a version of Marvel moving 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:42.560 to LA that would be great. It makes sense with 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:46.280 the studios, with the builds. But what will that look like, 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:49.080 especially as we are now in the first week of 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:52.760 the promise seven thousand layoffs that Disney is doing. So, 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:56.120 you know what, I will give them a slight bit 0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:58.520 of credit for starting with execs because. 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:01.080 Does that happen? 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:04.240 But yeah, this is this is kind of huge. I 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:10.040 expect the ramifications to be large and continuing. But as 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:11.880 Jason pointed out, we don't really know that much. 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:12.760 Now that much. 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:16.040 We do know that this was likely in response, at 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:22.240 least in part to Ike Palmutter trying to do a 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:26.760 shadow takeover of the Disney board with his friend Nelson Pelts, 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:28.360 which was in the news a lot. And it's actually 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:30.600 very interesting to go and read about. So if you're 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:32.960 wondering for if you're looking for the why it is 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:35.080 not really because of his bad behavior in the past. 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:37.040 Is corporate. 0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:42.000 Yeah, because to take over the company and then try 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:45.240 to take over the company because of his in part 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:50.200 certainly ill feelings about Bob Iger, who shelved him after 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:54.600 he lost a power struggle with Kevin Feige uh Over. 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:58.840 We tried to fire right over again, the fact that 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:00.360 I didn't want to make a black Pig or a 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:04.400 Captain Marvel movie. Bob Iger two billion dollar movies, robab 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:06.840 I would just say, right, Bob Iger in his book 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:11.520 or in some other interview, was asked, how you know 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:15.000 if Ike's feelings about that perhaps fueled that takeover bid, 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:17.319 and he said, and Iger was quoted as saying, well, 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:19.120 you'd have to ask Ike about that, but let's put 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:21.000 it this way. He was not happy about it, and 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:28.280 I think that unhappiness exists today. 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:27.280 I agree. 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:32.280 Anyway, Up next, returning to the Mandalorian in the airlock, 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:49.520 we're stepping out of the airlock and onto the mean streets, 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:53.839 the beautiful once and we'll be again beautiful Streets of 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:56.120 Navarro for Season three, Episode five of The Mandalorian, a 0:09:56.120 --> 0:10:00.800 Disney Plus titled Chapter twenty one The Pirate John Favreau, 0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:06.480 directed by Peter Ramsey.

Have you loved those Star Wars vibes? 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:12.319 If you want to feel like you're a little kid 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:14.920 with a R two D two lunch box and you 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:19.040 play them with your cheap, plastic but beloved Kenna toys, 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:21.560 this is the episode that's gonna send you back into 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:23.560 that nostalgia. And so much happens. 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:27.600 A lot happens. So we start on Navarro High. Magistrate 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:32.520 Grief Cargo is playing SimCity on his desk with his 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:35.160 with his people are out of He's in the middle 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:38.280 of this development meeting and is like, where we gonna 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:40.400 put the railroad. We gotta put the rail spur over here. 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:42.560 We're talking about it's gonna be a massive cargo moving 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:43.160 through the city. 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:43.840 Uh. 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:46.920 And the meeting is broken up by the arrival of 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:53.280 pirate King Shard's flagship. Shard hails Cargo, and Shard is like, 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:57.600 holy shit, grief Cargo. That sounds like you, grief Cargo, 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:02.760 but a killed master of the Navarro Hunters, the fame 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:05.520 Navarro Bounty Hunters. But all I see before me is 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:09.160 a pampered nobleman. And Shard, of course, is still hot 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:15.120 that Carga and Dn Jarren shot his pirates in the 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:20.080 street street now, uh, you know they were up to 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:24.160 no good, as pirates often are, and Carga notes quite 0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:27.800 accurately that they drew first, and Shard is like, well, 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:31.080 now I'm gonna shoot first. Carga then tries the bluff. 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:33.680 He's like, hey, you a fuck with us, You're gonna 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:36.040 fuck with the New Republic because we're about We're we're 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:37.640 part of the New Republic.

I'm sure they could, but like 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:30.560 is that threat really so big? I feel like he 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:32.360 made it, played the wrong card there. 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:35.760 Well, as we will see, the New Republic is just 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:38.040 in the They're a new administration and they have a 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:40.240 lot of trouble getting there in a mask, getting their 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:44.240 business off the ground. Grief Cargo gestures to his ASTRONMK 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:48.400 droid and uh he then although we don't see it, 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:54.400 records help us your early hope message. And then when 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:57.800 his protocol droid runs up and is like, hey, we 0:12:57.880 --> 0:12:59.280 got to get out of here, we got the we 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:02.840 got the escape ready Carga bravely, courageously is like, no, 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:05.240 I'm not leaving. I'm not leaving my people. I need 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:09.360 to lead my people back to the most significant rise 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:12.600 in property values in Navarro's history. We're coming back. 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:16.000 We will rebail, we are making real estate money. We 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:16.720 cannot leave. 0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:21.080 We will rebuild. And he tells his people, Hey, head 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:23.959 for the hills, go for the dunes, and we'll regroup. 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:26.440 Just get out of the city. Then we go to 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:31.480 an unknown jungle planet where that is a base for 0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:35.760 the New Republic's Adelphi Rangers, and we see our friend 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:38.720 Captain Tiva. He's taking some r and R at the 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:43.240 base Cantina, when he's told that there's a message. He 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:45.839 puts it in the in the player and realizes his 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:49.120 grief Cargo asking for help with a ongoing pirate siege, 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:52.720 and Carga says, quote, I'm afraid that our planet will 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:55.360 fall in Shard will turn this into a pirate base. 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:58.240 And we hear a voice someone has overheard this and says, 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:01.079 I really thought Navarro is gonna make it. And it's 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:08.359 our friend zeb Crew looking a bit looking legitimately fucking incredible, 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:12.439 unbelievable in live action ILMB. Can we get il M 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:16.679 on the the the volume on on I didn't have. 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:20.560 I didn't have any particular notes on the ebcu uh 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:24.040 Man and the Wasp quantum media. But but like this 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:26.640 looked great, It looked amazing. 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:30.680 The Mandalorians just consistently knocks it out of the park 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:33.240 with their use the way they mix practical and cgs, 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:36.560 and Zeb looked so good here, Like this is definitely 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:39.400 a moment where if you know, you know, and if 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:41.560 you know you scream, Like this is like when you 0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:44.120 see him, you're like, oh my god. And we'll get 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:46.960 into this more, but I think this hints that probably 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:51.520 a much bigger inclusion that we'll get this season. But 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:55.880 this was so cool, looked brilliant, super cool, totally within character. 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.840 I just feel like it was just all good. Tend 0:14:59.880 --> 0:15:01.480 to it been good stuff. 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:03.960 I could not agree where I'd like started shouting us. 0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:09.320 Teva tells Zeb that he's going to go to command 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:11.040 and he's going to ask for a remission to take 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:14.240 on the pirates. But as we've seen this, we've already 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:18.000 talked about the transition from two decades of empire is 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:21.720 not easy. It's a mess, like just being being legitimately 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:24.680 charitable to in your republic. It's this is hard work. Uh, 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:27.920 and then zeb says, hey, they're swamp. They haven't returned 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:31.720 a message in weeks. Teva then decides, okay, I'm going 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:33.560 to give it the personal touch. I'm gonna fly to 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:35.960 Corroussant and I'm gonna get Navarro the help it needs. 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:40.479 Teva saunters into command to see Colonel Tunnel on Coroissant, 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:43.800 and it's a good example of how chaotic things are 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:48.960 right now for the new administration. That Tunnel ostensibly Teva's 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:52.200 commanding officer. He cannot even get his Droid to followers. 0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:55.160 He's like, hey, don't Droid, don't put that tray of 0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:57.920 records there on my desk because I and then Droids 0:15:57.960 --> 0:15:59.880 is like fuck you, and it just drops the tree. 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:02.640 They're like shit, can I just also just talk about it? 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:05.000 I was just so happy to see Tim Meadows. This 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:09.840 is just like wonderful one casting. He's in a really 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:12.800 great episode of poker Face, which I'd love to see him, 0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:14.760 and this is so good because he has the perfect 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:19.000 exasperated bureaucrat voice, like and you just realized in this 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:22.160 one scene in one performance, like the New Republic is 0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:25.600 getting nothing done. They are trying their best, but they are. 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:28.480 Struggle hard, and they have the best of intentions. 0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:31.440 But it's really they're they're doing better than some other 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:35.920 radical organizations we've seen before, Yes we have, but I 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:39.200 mean they're not trying to replicate the Imperials. They're trying 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:41.240 to do their best, but it is they are stuck 0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:43.480 in a bureaucratic roup. 0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:47.280 I mean, like this, there are larger questions here to 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:54.640 be asked, like whether whether a galaxy spanning government is 0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:58.400 even a good idea, Like, yes, that's a great question 0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:02.320 to ask. But they're trying, and they have good intentions, 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:04.879 and they're not very effective right now, but they're trying. 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:09.560 Elliot Kine otherwise known as G sixty eight, the former 0:17:09.720 --> 0:17:14.400 Imperial currently working on some unknown neo imperial scheme from 0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:15.960 inside the New Republic leadership. 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:19.440 Always acting, she's always acting with shady as fuck. 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:25.520 She like, I gotta say, gee, don't make evil scheme 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:28.480 faces all the time because somebody's gonna notice at some point. 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:31.919 Kay O'Brien is so good as like the villain, Like 0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:33.760 every time you see how you know, just like everyone 0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:36.200 just look around. She's scheming. She's doing a scheme face, 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:39.040 she's looking evil like I believe it, like she's doing it, 0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:41.320 and nobody seems to notice. I love it. It's great. 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:44.360 So Tevah barges in and tuddles like, who the fuck 0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:50.280 are you? You know? His Rodian you know, assistant is like, 0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:53.520 I'm sorry, this guy just barged in, and Teva gets 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:55.480 right to the point. He's like, there's a pirate siege 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:59.680 on Navarro in the Outer Rim, and I'm mad straate, 0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:01.600 I know sent An sos and we should do something. 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:05.879 Tunnel plays the message and at that point G. Sixty 0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:09.280 eight comes in with this helpful offer. Hey, I'm going 0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:11.520 to the commissary if you want like some of those 0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:13.040 Imperial biscuits. I know you love them. 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:17.639 One of the good things about me, am By, you know, 0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:20.760 not good things. They were one of them. 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:23.639 The trains. They made, the trains run on time, and 0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:28.280 the biscuits are delicious. Yeah, And then Tuttle is like, oh, yeah, 0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:31.840 that's right. G sixty eight, Uh, in your that's right. 0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:34.480 In your capacity is an Imperial soldier aut Aer mof 0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:37.399 Giddion noted war Crudle. You spent some time in the 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:40.320 Outer rim right, what about about you? Yeah, what did 0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:42.560 you know about Navarro? And she's like, yeah, I did 0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:46.440 spend some time there. And then at that point, Tevin 0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:50.040 notices G. Sixty eight's very unique kind of red striped 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:53.120 badge which identifies her as a former imperial and part 0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:56.800 of the amnesty program, and she is like, well, you know, 0:18:57.760 --> 0:19:01.720 unfortunately Navarro never signed the new public Charter, so they're 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:04.240 not part of this whole thing, and Tuttle notes that, hey, 0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:08.240 you see how fucked up things are right now? We 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:11.360 have member worlds that can't get the help they need. 0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:13.600 How's it gonna look if I go and help some 0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:17.880 independent planet? And then Teva is like, hey, we got 0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:20.280 to connect the dots here. There's something bigger. Why is 0:19:20.359 --> 0:19:24.560 Navarro always coming up? We had reports of stormtroopers in 0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:26.840 the streets and borrow maf Gideon was known to be 0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:30.480 skulkinger on the planet doing who knows what. Meanwhile, ask 0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:32.639 this lady right next to you, because she was serving 0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:36.120 with him. Tie fighters are flying openly over Navara. What's 0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:39.840 with all the action? And Navarro on tunnel says, okay, 0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:43.520 you could get to hyperspace with a leap like that, Like, 0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:49.800 come on and then Teva's like, how do we know that? 0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:52.600 He basically is like maf Gideon could be behind this, right, like, 0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:54.280 we don't know where he is. I heard he never 0:19:54.359 --> 0:19:56.560 made it to try, like what's going on that? And 0:19:56.600 --> 0:20:00.200 then you know, Tuttle again says I. Listen, I'm just 0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:03.119 a pencil pusher. I'm just like a quarkinizer. Basically, all 0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:05.040 I can do is get you things. So what do 0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:07.760 you need? What can I do for you? And I 0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:11.760 got to say before we go further, I think that 0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:15.479 the amnesty program. I think it's a good idea, and 0:20:15.520 --> 0:20:17.920 I think it's a well meeting program, And I don't 0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:20.200 want to throw out the baby with the bathwater. Maybe 0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:23.440 there are a lot of positive success stories and good 0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:26.840 things to come out of it. Like like I would 0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:31.119 assume that the other people that doctor Pershing and G. 0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:34.760 Sixty eight were sitting with back at Amnesty House, like 0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:41.720 are not working on neo imperial conspiracy conspiracies. Right that said, 0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:45.240 I don't think that we should allow former imperials to 0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:50.240 have this kind of access to New Republic like decision 0:20:50.280 --> 0:20:53.879 making levers. Why why are we just like letting former 0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:56.760 imperials like work in high command I. 0:20:56.640 --> 0:21:01.080 Also feel like, specifically in this situation, if somebody used 0:21:01.080 --> 0:21:04.400 to work for mof Gideon and this planet is connected 0:21:04.440 --> 0:21:07.159 to mof Gideon, that's like, this is a conflict of interest, 0:21:07.200 --> 0:21:10.000 My dad, great, sorry, you can't be involved in this one. 0:21:10.080 --> 0:21:11.919 I think what this scene does really well, as well 0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:14.560 as being funny, because Tim Meadows is like really fucking funny, 0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:19.399 is it highlights how it's really easy for G. Sixty 0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:22.600 eight to take advantage of this system because nobody knows 0:21:22.640 --> 0:21:25.159 what's going on. Tyl didn't know anything about the hour Rim, 0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:27.280 so he just asks a war criminal who worked for 0:21:27.359 --> 0:21:30.280 like a famous war criminal with a magical sword. He's like, 0:21:30.359 --> 0:21:32.159 what do you know about it? Yeah, And this is 0:21:32.200 --> 0:21:34.439 exactly how she's managed to rise up the ranks, and 0:21:34.480 --> 0:21:37.920 it's very interesting to see them kind of explore that. 0:21:38.440 --> 0:21:42.359 G sixty eight suggests that, hey, you know, uh, maybe 0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:46.399 Navarro would sign the charter. Uh if we let them 0:21:46.440 --> 0:21:48.679 get punched in the mouth a little bit by pirates that. 0:21:48.800 --> 0:21:51.960 Flag, yeah flag very fashion. 0:21:52.840 --> 0:21:55.680 Maybe at a little bit of a mass murder happened, 0:21:55.720 --> 0:21:58.720 they'd understand that they'd want to be under the protective 0:21:58.840 --> 0:22:01.320 umbrella of the New Republic. Wouldn't that teach him a lesson? 0:22:01.800 --> 0:22:05.600 And Teva says sounds like imperial thinking it absolutely is. 0:22:06.240 --> 0:22:09.160 But then Tunnel is like, oh, oh, you're out a line. 0:22:09.200 --> 0:22:12.120 How dare you say that? Yeah, you're out a lion there? 0:22:12.119 --> 0:22:15.919 How dare you besmirch the good name of this former 0:22:16.040 --> 0:22:18.720 war criminal who worked for an even bigger work. 0:22:18.520 --> 0:22:22.320 Criminal who's saying some very war criminal sounding things like yeah. 0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:26.639 So then G is like takes the high road wonderfully. 0:22:26.720 --> 0:22:29.840
