Let's talk about season three, Episode eight, Chapter twenty four, 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:17.440 the Return, directed by Rick fam we had written by 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:19.919 John Favreau. We pick up right after the events of 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:23.320 the previous episode. First off, on behalf of the x 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:25.840 RA Vision. I would like to apologize to ax Wolves, 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:29.240 who is not a spy and also whose jet pack 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:33.079 can absolutely get him into orbit up to the spacecraft which. 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:37.360 Crazy crazy who I mean, we just only a few 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:41.960 episodes ago saw the Mandalorians in the covert run out 0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:44.120 of gas chasing a bird. 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:47.040 How did Haas Bisla manage to run out of gas? 0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:48.840 But Axwoves can fly into space. 0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:51.760 X Woves can basically has a hyperdrive on his back. 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:55.320 I don't know what's going on. My guys like up 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:58.360 in the atmosphere and are the rest of the covert 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:03.280 couldn't even chase the bird when it captured Ragnar. 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:06.480 And it had many children at that point, like more 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:09.639 than its stolen more than one child child. So this Axe, 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:10.880 you could have been more useful. 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:14.600 Well, I think there's I have two possible theories. One 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:17.679 is that Axe and his crew they kept it tight. 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:20.720 They were active mercenaries. They're working out in the world 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:23.680 doing stuff for cash, and they had to be ready 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:26.840 for game time in a way that Pause and the 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:31.120 rest of them rednecking around by Crocodile Lake were not like. 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:34.680 And then the second theory is that Pause is just 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:40.000 a deadbeat dad who never who was just irresponsible number one, 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:42.200 and you can see that by the fact that he 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:44.560 didn't have his jetpet gassed up. And then number two, 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:47.720 I kind of think that the reason that he was like, 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:49.440 you know what, I'm gonna hold off the dart Trood. 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:50.720 You guys get out of here. It's just he didn't 0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:51.520 want to raise his kid. 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:56.200 Wow, I mean, I blink believe. I mean that is brutal. 0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:59.480 You know what that is a brutal take on our 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:02.280 guye as Vizla. 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:06.200 He sacrificed himself the three for Toorian guys to save 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:07.400 the Mandalorians. 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:09.520 But you say not because he didn't want to pay Chiles, 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.320 not even a word for his son, not even to 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:18.040 tell my not even tell tell him, tell Ragno, I 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:20.040 love him and tell him what a hero he's getting. 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:23.360 Just like I'm out, I'll take him. You guys get 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:23.800 out of here. 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:27.920 It was that was there has been some wild wild 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:32.919 Did you guys also feel like I got so pregnant 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:35.960 with the idea that ax Wolves was a spy? 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:36.599 Or was it? 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:37.080 Yes? 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:38.840 Yes, we were invested, but. 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:42.960 I had a hard time believing he was saving the day, 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:47.520 which unqueslatably he was doing. He is hero on Mandalor. 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:51.680 And the entire time I was like this fucking guy. 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:53.400 Yeah, I was, I was like, oh, getting old the 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:55.640 Mandalorians to leave the ship. That's suspicions. 0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:59.280 And the way the captain of the ship gives him 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:01.560 like a double tap, look like really like. 0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:02.800 What it looks out. 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:05.120 I was like, oh, here it comes, here comes with 0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:10.599 xbos like shoots them all in the back. It just 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:13.560 never happened. Axe Wolves stand up died in the end. 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:16.560 My apologies, Oh yeah, we're gonna hand out a lot 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:17.560 of apologies today. 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:18.880 I think absolute apologies. 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:23.200 I will say. Unfortunately, unfortunately, we are going to hand 0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:25.479 out a lot of apologies, because boy, would I like 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:28.279 what I have loved for one of these things to 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:31.440 have been proven true, for one of these people to 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:33.480 have been duplicitous. 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:37.080 Yes. Back on the planet, bo is leading the survivors 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:41.360 out of moff Gidion's base. She radios to the very 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.400 very loyal axe Wolves before he's cut off by the 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:47.240 atmosphere to say, hey, okay, use the capital ship as 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:50.359 a decoy. Get all the warriors off the chips and 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:53.280 down to the surface, so I'll talk to you earlier. Uh. 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:56.200 Then she has to use a thermal detonator to collapse 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:59.240 a tunnel because the dark Trooper armor is really really good. 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:02.800 Back Uh, somewhere else in the base, Dinn breaks for 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:05.680 you from his captain. You gotta have more guys on Dinn. 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:10.800 Truly, this is an absolute strategical mistake. Do you have Mandalorian? 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:12.599 Oh'm a guess who knows how to use it? Bout 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:16.200 a Mandalorian every time. And also he has a full 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:19.800 sensitive baby whose medichlorians are so strong you are trying 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:20.640 to steal them. 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:22.480 And MAV what are you saving them for? You got 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:26.480 so many guys and you got baby guys. 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:30.280 I was also confused throughout both last week. 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:32.200 At the end of last week and this week. 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:37.200 I couldn't believe MAF Gideon was not intrigued or interested 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:44.000 at all that Grogu was there, Like the dude spent 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:49.360 the first entire season chasing Grogu for his blood. They 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:53.360 bring Grogu to his cloning base. He doesn't even taste 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:57.320 full on playing hard to get.

It's it's 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:12.160 almost like being a green Latin. You have infinite will power. 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:15.040 And shuts the R five for having the appropriate amount 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:16.800 of gas in his jets. 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:19.880 Times he's not making that Missay look. 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:25.120 Like daddy visla so our five. Using his little jets, 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:28.640 he floats down from the surface to the base and 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:31.680 begins looking for the nearest port data port that he 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:34.760 can use to scomp into the system. If that is 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:39.319 the axe gets through the gets through the clouds, he 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:42.280 makes it to the ships. He tells all the mandolarns, okay, 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:46.880 get out of here. Suspicions drop and suspicion I will 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:49.240 pilot the capital ship. And there's all these really cool 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:55.200 uh like scenes of the Mandolarns, like skidding onto the 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:56.400 ramp of a ship. 0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:57.839 I just want to say as well, I feel like 0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:01.720 they were looking at a lot of ease Iron Man comics, 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:05.240 because while these Mandalorians are flying, there is so much 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:06.400 time that it looks like. 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:10.800 I wondered if they used like Iron Man assets. 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:13.040 That's what I had the same thing. 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:17.800 Yes, I bet you they did, right, they had to. 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:19.960 It's just so much easy and it's so clean. 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:23.440 This does not look rushed. This looks like you literally 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:28.800 are seeing tens of people flying through aranizable. 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:32.200 Yeah, they don't have a lot of flying from past seasons. 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:35.600 That's a brand new thing. So but they have a 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:39.760 ton of metal suited character flying through the air. 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:42.320 So yeah, I'm sure this is very. 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:44.439 Similar position to that kind of Superman. 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:49.160 I bet you it's Iron Man three assets and fight 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:51.880 where Tony is fighting like all the. 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:55.400 Suits multiple Man's. 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:57.800 We cracked it, guys, we cracked it. 0:11:57.960 --> 0:11:59.080 We did.

Facts. 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:02.160 Cannon absolutely happened. 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:07.880 So the Mandalorians are heading towards the planet and just 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:09.800 then the tai bombers tie fighters come up and they 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:14.280 start attacking the ship, where X Wolves is heroically piloting 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:16.760 the ship without any kind of ulterior motive. 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:19.760 They as he's gonna do it, he crashing. 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:23.360 He is absolutely loyal to the cause. And again, I'm 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:24.719 so sorry X quove there. 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:27.199 Honestly, X Wolves, thank you for your service. 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:31.720 Look, actually we apologize, but I would like to put 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:36.000 the blame for us suspect like suspecting you very directly 0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:38.640 on whoever chose to name the last episode the Spies, 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:40.560 just saying I wait, so. 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:42.960 I guess let's talk about this. So what were the 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:46.200 Spies than R five n G sixty eight. 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:49.559 I wonder if the Spies are like the Imperial Remnant, 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:52.960 who are still you know, the zoom call, okay, the Imperials. 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:54.400 I don't know that. 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:57.640 I think it's I mean, it doesn't. 0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:00.000 It doesn't add up because only because I feel like 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:05.320 we all have spent so much time theorizing and trying 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:08.880 to figure it out and came up with we also 0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:15.840 an apology to the night Owls very true, also as 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:18.800 oh well, don't they know exactly what trap to bring 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:19.960 everybody into it? 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:25.960 You know, everybody's like, yeah, she. 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:29.400 Literally command her whole life to rebuilding the Maglorians. And 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:32.000 we were like, guess who knows how to make best 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:34.079 that would be useful for gidiots? 0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:39.800 Guess who's selling out our people. But I will say 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:42.080 once again and I listen, I love this show. This 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:45.520 is like one of my love this show. But I 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:47.680 would have liked for one of these things to be 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:50.680 true because I would have liked one more layer of 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:54.880 double crosses or all that just surprises. 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:56.120 That's what I was looking for. 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:58.520 And make it the night owls, I say, because acts, 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:01.280 I get it, like he's almost too suspicious, and that 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:02.760 also we just met these guys. 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:06.840 That's fine also as well, you would have had a 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:11.840 definite narrative satisfaction to show how Ax was really heroic 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:14.040 and then pull the rug from underneath you and go, oh, 0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:14.959 act what it was that. 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:18.600 It would have been fun. But that's okay. Back at 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:22.240 the base, there's some really classic Star Wars stuff happening. 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:22.440 Now. 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:25.920 You got Din and Grogu sneaking around an imperial base. 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:27.840 It's just like the old days. You have an R 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:31.840 unit hacking in guiding them along the way. They come 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:34.320 to this the tunnel that we saw I'm off Gideon 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:37.240 Emerge from when he went to go take that zoom 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:40.120 call which is protected by a series of laser shields 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:41.880 which are five needs to open one at a time. 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:47.120 And it's the fight that unfurls here where you know, 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:49.360 Din has to be like, okay, now open the next 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:52.200 gate where he and then he's gonna fight two dark 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:53.880 troopers there, and then open the next one. He's gonna 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:57.120 fight two dark troops. Very reminiscent of the jin Obi 0:14:57.120 --> 0:14:59.960 Wan Mall duel from the Phantom menas at least the visual. 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:02.160 Well you in those shields, yeah, yeah, yeah. 0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:03.880 And I feel like the Reds, I feel like this 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:06.600 again is feeling very lost Jedi. I feel like there 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:08.960 was a lot of lost Jedi echoes here with obviously 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:11.160 the Praetorian gods and everything, but the Reds and the 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:13.600 kind of like you got to fight a couple of 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:15.880 troopers in this very dynamic way. I was a fan 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:16.800 of this fight. It was a cool life. 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:20.120 I liked a lot of the fights. I liked this episode. 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:24.040 I thought had good a good variety of fights, you know, 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:29.200 big sky like dog fight stuff. Yeah, practical on the 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:33.200 ground hand to hand, the Bocatan fight with the Dark 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:36.760 Saber and the and whatever Maf Gideon's staff is called. 0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:39.600 I'm not sure, but you know, I really liked the 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:42.920 variety of stuff that this episode. 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:46.080 And everybody got to whoop a little eggs, Like whenever 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:48.560 we went back to the armor in the sky, just 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:52.480 Molly whopping dark troopers. I was like, Wow, that was 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:54.840 that's really cool. And I love that the. 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:58.200 Armor is never like you know what for this, Give me. 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:03.760 It's not happening, Give me the barbecue, the barbecue tools, 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:04.800 and I'm going to town. 0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:08.200 It's also nice that they built up this idea of 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:13.880 these Mandalorian partially Mandalorian armored troopers and then actually showed 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:17.000 us them using their Malorian armor and Mandalorian weapons. That 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:19.000 could have been very easy to skip over, but we 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:21.520 really got that in Din with like the little lessus 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:23.280 that shot out and everything. That was very fun. 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:25.680 Oh yeah, and Maf Gideon had like the rockets that 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:29.440 shoot out of his classic the Whispering Angels or whatever 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:35.960 not Oh my god, please that's. 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:36.760 The rose, please make it. Those what were they called 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:39.120 whispering birds? 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:41.920 Were the whispering birds, right, yeah, whispering. 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:44.400 Birds something like that man. 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:46.520 I wish it was called Whispering Angels, and they just 0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:50.080 had a delightful little sip of rose that came. 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:52.120 Along with them. 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:56.160 Meanwhile, R five has to escape a gang of mousteroids 0:16:56.160 --> 0:17:00.240 who are loved that moment getting in his face because 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:02.960 sirens like the. 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:05.119 One came up and he shocked him and then he 0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:08.199 came up and he was just like up and he 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:10.000 just flew up scumped. 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:14.240 Away inside the command center. Didn't Grogu find all of 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:17.800 Gideon's clones. He's been cloning himself, apparently to give himself 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:18.919 versions of himself. 0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:22.480 The force session. 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:25.920 Gives poor baby Grogu a mighty scare and. 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:29.160 This is like eye opening scare, something in a tank. 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:31.240 Boom, and so Den is like, fuck these clones, they 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:32.359 all got to die, and he just. 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:34.160 Killed my son. 0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:39.480 The night Owls then lead who again hearty apologies to them. 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:41.679 Sorry, can I interrupt you? 0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:45.600 I'm so sorry Jon the question only because I feel 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:51.000 like this beat where we see the mof Gideon's clone process, 0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:54.120 all of the tanks are full of Moth Gideon clones, 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:56.880 and so I feel like this is a real change 0:17:57.119 --> 0:18:00.479 from what I have thought we've been building towards all 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:04.320 this time, which is MAF Gideon wanted Grogu's blood so 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:07.240 that he could participate in the making of Snoke and 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:11.520 then openmately a forced sensitive Palpatine. Yeah, but this seems 0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:13.840 to say, no, that is not the case. He was 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:17.800 using pershing to use Grogu's blood to make forced sensitive 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:19.119 moth gideons. 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:21.159 I think that's true. 0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:27.520 I do not think it takes away from It's just 0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:30.040 a little bit of a diversion. I believe that the 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:33.119 people who are Project Necromancer, who he has been hiding 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:35.439 this from, will inevitably find out he did this, and 0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:36.640 the technology will be used. 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:39.360 But it just pushes it back a little. I think 0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:40.440 it just pushes it back a little. 0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:42.679 They're going to take all this and then use it 0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:44.399 to make exactly I think that that. 0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:47.240 Is if that feels right. And I also say on 0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:50.520 that Zoom call they kind of get in MAF Gideon's 0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:54.960 ass for like using pershing for stuff that is not 0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:58.000 related to Snoke, and later on Palpatine it feels like 0:18:58.000 --> 0:19:00.280 because it's like, you took pershing and you are doing 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:01.240 all this weird stuff. 0:19:00.960 --> 0:19:03.240 And he's like, I don't even like cloning. That's your yeah. 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:05.960 Clone guy after. 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:10.080 He walked through a room of cloning, like he's like, 0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:10.840 what cloning? 0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:11.920 What you tell? 0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:15.400 My favorite thing about this is, like, I get it. 0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:20.720 It's almost too big to just immediately commit to kind 0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:24.040 of wreckconning and expanding on the sequel trilogies as we 0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:26.439 thought it was gonna most directly do. But it is 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:29.480 actually a very hilarious motivation when you really think about. 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:31.520 It's just some guy who was like, why I just 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:34.080 want some fource sensitive clone versions of myself to make 0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:36.800 an army of me's And everyone's like, what would This 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:38.760 doesn't have anything to do with Palpatine and he's like, 0:19:39.080 --> 0:19:40.600 just some for sensitive muff. 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:43.000 Idiot, I can I ask one more question? Obviously, Like 0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:46.920 his plan was to create an army of clones. Uh, 0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:50.280 aren't all the guys in the Dark Trooper him, like 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:53.600 all the or all the Dark Trooper dudes. 0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:57.360 Monkitie, I don't I mean you mean non for sensitive 0:19:57.400 --> 0:20:03.240 muffetting you know, I would say, and making clones. 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:04.800 But they're just regular. 0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:06.760 Clones, right, these are the beta clones? 0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:12.080 Yeah, that would be interesting. My guess is they're just 0:20:12.560 --> 0:20:16.320 Stormtroopers who are loyal to him. Although he does mention, Well, 0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:19.360 what I was surprised by is that he said, this 0:20:19.440 --> 0:20:22.199 is the new evolution of the dark Trooper. And the 0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:27.080 dark Troopers were robots, right, they were so, but these 0:20:27.200 --> 0:20:29.320 are definitely people in suits, for sure. 0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:33.880
