<v Speaker 5>very excited to talk about this absolutely astonishing show.

0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 2>Astonishing, Okay, let's get it.

0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:44.960
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, this is an upgrade from coming to talk about

0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:53.040
<v Speaker 6>doing prophecy. That's what works. It is perfect.

0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:54.400
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, it's perfect.

0:01:55.800 --> 0:02:02.000
<v Speaker 1>So h your your overall thoughts on Indoor season too. Yeah,

0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:04.400
<v Speaker 1>and even looking at the entire show, I just want

0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:06.160
<v Speaker 1>to say, the thing that struck me when we got

0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:10.120
<v Speaker 1>to the finale and the last shot of this and

0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:12.960
<v Speaker 1>we see where Bis has landed up and who she

0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:19.000
<v Speaker 1>is holding. I was crying, screaming, laughing, just I was

0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:23.680
<v Speaker 1>so the amount of relief and love that I felt

0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:26.840
<v Speaker 1>in that moment. And to me, this is the genius.

0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:30.160
<v Speaker 1>Tony flipped the script on Rogue one.

0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:35.120
<v Speaker 6>Everyone always says, man, it's depressing, everyone dies, It's this

0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:39.400
<v Speaker 6>downer of a story, and he turned the entire thing around.

0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:43.280
<v Speaker 6>It's about love, it's about life, it's about hope, and

0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:44.359
<v Speaker 6>it's about rebirth.

0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:45.080
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:50.800
<v Speaker 6>Unbelievable to transform that, and so that was the biggest

0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:51.680
<v Speaker 6>takeaway from me.

0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:52.720
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:55.560
<v Speaker 5>So I'm so excited to talk to you guys a

0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:57.600
<v Speaker 5>little bit more about the baby because there's been a

0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:03.440
<v Speaker 5>lot of Baby discourse in the I'm very excited.

0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about who are MVP of this season is

0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:11.079
<v Speaker 1>before we really get into the.

0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 7>Meat of the baby.

0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:19.320
<v Speaker 1>A lot of great candidates on the on the imperial

0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:21.640
<v Speaker 1>side and on the rebels side, and the kind of

0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:26.680
<v Speaker 1>shades in between. Joel your MVP for and or season two?

0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 1>And I guess really for.

0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:36.040
<v Speaker 7>And series in always it's Luthan real. It is nobody

0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:42.400
<v Speaker 7>like to come in and die series to be such

0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:46.840
<v Speaker 7>a legendary, Like we thought Rogue one was the kickoff,

0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:50.000
<v Speaker 7>but Luthen is the kickoff. And that is like a

0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:53.040
<v Speaker 7>brain altering way to watch this movie to honor, like

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:56.440
<v Speaker 7>it's done for everybody, but it's also kind of just

0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:59.880
<v Speaker 7>done for Luthen, like he is stellar and for that

0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:03.840
<v Speaker 7>Episode ten is maybe one of my favorite things ever written.

0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:07.040
<v Speaker 7>It's up there with like was it episode six of

0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:10.400
<v Speaker 7>Watchmen where they go back into her granites was the top?

0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 7>It's up there with that, Like I just think the

0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:19.040
<v Speaker 7>devotion what we get with him and Claia, the I mean,

0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:22.839
<v Speaker 7>my god, this moment where he's just staying before he

0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:25.360
<v Speaker 7>makes the transition into rebel and he's just make it stop,

0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:29.560
<v Speaker 7>make it stop. Like you understand from whence this passion

0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:34.040
<v Speaker 7>comes and then the unraveling of him. We talked about

0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:37.279
<v Speaker 7>how like coming into season two, there's no part of

0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:40.760
<v Speaker 7>you that would consider like, oh, Luthen's not fully prepared

0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:45.480
<v Speaker 7>and aware. He's always aware, but like he faltered at times,

0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:48.560
<v Speaker 7>like it was almost Jesus allegory of like, oh, yeah,

0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:51.440
<v Speaker 7>I'm doubting in the the eleventh hour that we can

0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:54.360
<v Speaker 7>do this. It's so scary. And for him to kill

0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:57.200
<v Speaker 7>someone that we ultimately like who we know sacrifice and

0:04:57.240 --> 0:04:59.360
<v Speaker 7>lived by the same types of rules with Luthen, like

0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.479
<v Speaker 7>Iver stepped out of bounds, like held it down in

0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:05.520
<v Speaker 7>very stressful situations, and then our guy just gets murked

0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:09.160
<v Speaker 7>on a bench and I still like after that, yeah,

0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:12.320
<v Speaker 7>still respect his choice, Like that's crazy.

0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:16.760
<v Speaker 5>I think that is why Luthin is such a brilliant character,

0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:19.240
<v Speaker 5>and what Tony Gilroy does so well is Luthin is

0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:23.560
<v Speaker 5>almost he is almost like the character who is the show,

0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:27.080
<v Speaker 5>because the truth is he does terrible things, he does

0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:29.360
<v Speaker 5>complex things, he does the things he has to do.

0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.960
<v Speaker 5>But Tony Gilroy is not interested in passing some judgment

0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:36.880
<v Speaker 5>on him. He is just interested in presenting part of

0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:39.200
<v Speaker 5>what the rebellion needs. And I think as well, the

0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:44.000
<v Speaker 5>reason that Luthern's fate is like so incredibly moving is

0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:47.360
<v Speaker 5>he knows, you know, his speech that made everyone fall

0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:48.920
<v Speaker 5>in love with him for the first time, he says,

0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:50.880
<v Speaker 5>I'm never going to get to see what we're doing

0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:53.000
<v Speaker 5>this for, Like he knows he's going to die in

0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:56.160
<v Speaker 5>the darkness, he's never going to get the credit, and

0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:57.080
<v Speaker 5>yet we still.

0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Got to sunrise.

0:05:57.560 --> 0:05:58.599
<v Speaker 6>I'll never see.

0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:03.200
<v Speaker 5>Exactly and we still all get these moments, these hopeful moments,

0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:08.440
<v Speaker 5>like when he finally hears from Lonnie what the real

0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:11.800
<v Speaker 5>plan has been of the energy and he understands that

0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:14.320
<v Speaker 5>in that moment, Okay, the super weapon, this is why

0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:16.359
<v Speaker 5>we've been doing it, Like he has to make that

0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:19.080
<v Speaker 5>decision in that second of like, this is the thing

0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:21.440
<v Speaker 5>we're going to risk it all for. I think that's incredible.

0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:25.880
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, Joe, does anyone have anybody else other than I.

0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:30.839
<v Speaker 5>Could just all talk about Luther? My name is not Minus,

0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:33.920
<v Speaker 5>but hey, choose yours. Who's your MVP?

0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:39.599
<v Speaker 6>Uh So this is slightly uh a left field of it,

0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:42.640
<v Speaker 6>But for me, I just want to call out Luke Hole,

0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:43.920
<v Speaker 6>the production designer.

0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:44.680
<v Speaker 5>I love.

0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:53.320
<v Speaker 6>The world that he created, whether it's Gorman right, or

0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:56.680
<v Speaker 6>whether it's Ferricks in season one, or all the the

0:06:56.720 --> 0:07:01.200
<v Speaker 6>stuff on Chorus on it, but particularly Gorman for me, unbelievable.

0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:05.160
<v Speaker 6>Episode eight I think is the most transcendent of the

0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:08.560
<v Speaker 6>season for me. If for me it's eight and season

0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:10.720
<v Speaker 6>one episode ten one way out right with a sunless

0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:15.239
<v Speaker 6>space at the end, that notion of how they created

0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:19.200
<v Speaker 6>something so practically beautiful and connected that the artists could

0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:23.040
<v Speaker 6>move through and do their performances that had such a

0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:28.680
<v Speaker 6>strong base in the canon, and as well as continuing

0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:30.760
<v Speaker 6>to grow from that and not be constrained by that.

0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:34.360
<v Speaker 6>It's just an amazing achievement of what he did, and

0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:36.840
<v Speaker 6>that idea of having one person's vision carried through the

0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:38.400
<v Speaker 6>entire show amazing.

0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:42.920
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, agreed, Mike. Going back to character wise, my would

0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:48.920
<v Speaker 5>mine would be Claia. I think Claire is the underdog

0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:51.760
<v Speaker 5>for me. I think she's always been an interesting character,

0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:55.280
<v Speaker 5>but I loved getting to see the way that she

0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:59.360
<v Speaker 5>moved through this season. I think that in the final

0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:03.440
<v Speaker 5>moments of this season also, she is like the only

0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:06.840
<v Speaker 5>person who could do what needed to be done, which

0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:10.000
<v Speaker 5>was kill Lutheran and make sure that his sacrifice wasn't

0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:14.160
<v Speaker 5>in Vain. I think that episode is unbelievable, and I

0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:19.360
<v Speaker 5>think that we get to see someone who is as

0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:23.440
<v Speaker 5>dedicated as Luthen but is also more emotionally connected to

0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:26.360
<v Speaker 5>the person that she has to take out of this

0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:32.240
<v Speaker 5>world because he raised her. And I personally am a

0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:35.640
<v Speaker 5>big fan of the Clayer is and Or sister theories.

0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:38.599
<v Speaker 5>I think that's really great and I kind of love that,

0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:41.600
<v Speaker 5>as Tony has said in interviews, like she doesn't get

0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:43.680
<v Speaker 5>any closure, We're not going to get to find out

0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:46.560
<v Speaker 5>what else is going on with her. But I kind

0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:49.040
<v Speaker 5>of like how loose it is because the reality is,

0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:51.960
<v Speaker 5>you know, even in something like Star Wars, but with

0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:54.520
<v Speaker 5>and Or, we are talking about a version of reality.

0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:57.000
<v Speaker 5>You wouldn't just randomly find out that that was your

0:08:57.040 --> 0:09:01.200
<v Speaker 5>long lost sister. You know, there would be ye, there's

0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:03.680
<v Speaker 5>no more in space exactly.

0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:08.960
<v Speaker 6>I'm anti that theory though, like I, it's the same

0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:10.720
<v Speaker 6>as Ray, like, she doesn't have to be you know,

0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:14.199
<v Speaker 6>she doesn't have to be Claya and Or or whatever

0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:16.760
<v Speaker 6>their name was before that became. And the idea that

0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:20.400
<v Speaker 6>Cassia never knows what happened to his sister and he

0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:23.640
<v Speaker 6>is always trying to fill that gap with other people

0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:26.480
<v Speaker 6>and rescuing people and building his family at all times.

0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:28.640
<v Speaker 6>And so I love the fact that Tony's like, we

0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:30.200
<v Speaker 6>are not going to make that that.

0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:33.040
<v Speaker 5>I can say that a lot of people.

0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:36.000
<v Speaker 7>I say I respect that a lot because I feel

0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:37.840
<v Speaker 7>the same way about Rayla, Like I think it really

0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:40.520
<v Speaker 7>destroys her to bring her into the fold. I was like, Oh,

0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:41.520
<v Speaker 7>it's really cool that she's.

0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:43.320
<v Speaker 5>Just Yeah, nobody needed race Skywalker.

0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:46.680
<v Speaker 7>Like why the andor and clear are like brother and

0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:49.200
<v Speaker 7>sister works for me for a couple of reasons. One,

0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:53.040
<v Speaker 7>there's the holes they leave us for this are really beautiful.

0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:55.480
<v Speaker 7>You do not know the little girl's name when she

0:09:55.600 --> 0:10:00.560
<v Speaker 7>meets Luthen, but you do get her name. Actor is

0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:04.040
<v Speaker 7>Clia and her sister's name is Carrie. Lufing goes from

0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:13.600
<v Speaker 7>uh well captain. It starts with an L like reality

0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:17.360
<v Speaker 7>is is a like a small adjustment to his actual name.

0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:20.800
<v Speaker 7>So we see in this like name changing situation, that

0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:23.920
<v Speaker 7>they're the same. On top of that, I really think

0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:27.559
<v Speaker 7>like there's something to be said about the way they

0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:31.800
<v Speaker 7>handle things. One of the main things we get from Cassians.

0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:34.520
<v Speaker 7>He's a guy who hides things a lot, like he

0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.000
<v Speaker 7>from the shower, he pulls down the gun and stuff.

0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:38.760
<v Speaker 7>The very first thing we see Claiya do when she

0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:40.760
<v Speaker 7>gets back to the safe house and start pulling things

0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:43.680
<v Speaker 7>out of the wall, the like connections.

0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:46.360
<v Speaker 2>Country for all Men call back with.

0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:51.600
<v Speaker 7>And I think like these What really works for me

0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:55.520
<v Speaker 7>is like Star Wars starts with two siblings who don't

0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:59.160
<v Speaker 7>know who they are, fighting the rebellion in their own

0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:02.280
<v Speaker 7>ways and coming together save the galaxy. This just feels

0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:06.640
<v Speaker 7>like such a great mirror to that without destroying the

0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:11.120
<v Speaker 7>authenticity and impact of They'll never know it, they don't

0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:13.240
<v Speaker 7>need to know it at all. I think that their

0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:15.960
<v Speaker 7>story holds up and it's great. But us getting to

0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:18.959
<v Speaker 7>know and see, like my heart like and the fact

0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:23.439
<v Speaker 7>that Luvin sort of at different ages but like raised them,

0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:29.680
<v Speaker 7>brought them into this foldings.

0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:32.240
<v Speaker 5>Oh, I love that. I love that take look at

0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:36.520
<v Speaker 5>us also as well. I would say, like I like,

0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:39.199
<v Speaker 5>I like Tony Gilroy is never not going to be

0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:41.640
<v Speaker 5>Tony Gilroy. He's out here and he's going to be

0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:45.000
<v Speaker 5>making his broad statements about history and about the wildness

0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:46.760
<v Speaker 5>of the galaxy. He was never going to come in

0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:49.080
<v Speaker 5>and be like, yeah, their siblings. But I kind of

0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:51.559
<v Speaker 5>love that. Just like any other Star Wars project or

0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:55.520
<v Speaker 5>Dune project or any sci fi project, people are going

0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:57.520
<v Speaker 5>to have their theories, They're going to have their kind

0:11:57.520 --> 0:11:59.640
<v Speaker 5>of conversations. And that was one that I thought was

0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:04.240
<v Speaker 5>really interesting because I had not conceived it, but I

0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:06.960
<v Speaker 5>love hearing other people kind of talking about why it worked.

0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:09.280
<v Speaker 5>And when Joel broke it down like that, I was like, well,

0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:11.520
<v Speaker 5>I just think that's a lovely echo, even if it's

0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:14.360
<v Speaker 5>not about yeah exactly.

0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:16.959
<v Speaker 2>They're from the same community.

0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:16.959
<v Speaker 7>M M.

0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:19.320
<v Speaker 5>There is a family nature that and they were both

0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:21.720
<v Speaker 5>raised by radicals in their own way as well. With

0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:23.320
<v Speaker 5>my Okay, Jason, who's your MVP.

0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:27.360
<v Speaker 1>My MVP is I'll do a haircut on some of

0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:32.720
<v Speaker 1>what we've heard, and myv is the relationship between Claya

0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:38.680
<v Speaker 1>and Ah. I think that Claia gave him something to

0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:46.000
<v Speaker 1>live for and m a reason to fight, and kind

0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:51.280
<v Speaker 1>of the first was, in a real way, the first

0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:54.760
<v Speaker 1>member of his army that he had assembled, the first

0:12:55.320 --> 0:13:01.960
<v Speaker 1>member of the of the rebellion, and he gave her

0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:06.079
<v Speaker 1>the way to do it like she was as you

0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:08.720
<v Speaker 1>would expect and as we saw in these episodes, like

0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:12.719
<v Speaker 1>full of rage, full of anger, wanting to lash out

0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:16.079
<v Speaker 1>at the Empire in an almost suicidal way, and he

0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:20.040
<v Speaker 1>says to her that thing that really that line that

0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:23.400
<v Speaker 1>really sticks with me, which is she asked, like, when

0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:25.360
<v Speaker 1>do we start fighting back? And he says, we fight

0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:27.440
<v Speaker 1>to win. That means we lose, and we lose, and

0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:31.679
<v Speaker 1>we lose and we lose until already and that patience

0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:35.360
<v Speaker 1>is how the rebellion was built. She's the only one

0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:41.800
<v Speaker 1>I think who would have been one hundred percent guaranteed

0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:43.840
<v Speaker 1>to follow through and what needed to be done, which

0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:48.920
<v Speaker 1>is Peter Luthen dies fall into the Empire's hands. I

0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:51.760
<v Speaker 1>think everybody else, even Cassie, and for as ruthless as

0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:56.080
<v Speaker 1>he is, would have launched some sort of crazy rescue rescue.

0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:58.400
<v Speaker 5>He can't help it. He's it's got a little bit

0:13:58.559 --> 0:13:59.240
<v Speaker 5>too much hot.

0:13:59.360 --> 0:13:59.920
<v Speaker 2>That's why I was.

0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:02.960
<v Speaker 1>It was only Claya, I think, who could see it through,

0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:08.959
<v Speaker 1>and the two of them together alone, either one of them.

0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:11.319
<v Speaker 2>Would not have been as effective.

0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:13.960
<v Speaker 1>The idea that they needed to stay for as long

0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:17.480
<v Speaker 1>as they did paid off obviously in the in the

0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Intel that led to the destruction of the Death Star,

0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:24.080
<v Speaker 1>but without each other it would have all fallen apart.

0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:27.480
<v Speaker 1>We saw as as Joel pointed out Luthen cracking already

0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:30.520
<v Speaker 1>like under the pressure, and Claya literally.

0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:34.760
<v Speaker 5>You know, getting a hands bloody pulling out the the bug.

0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:37.040
<v Speaker 5>You know, there's no way Lutheran could have done that,

0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:39.840
<v Speaker 5>like they were what a scene. That was such an

0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:46.000
<v Speaker 5>unbelievable scene. Also like the literal kind of representation of

0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:51.080
<v Speaker 5>like Mon doesn't know the way that Hans have to

0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:53.520
<v Speaker 5>get due and in that room it is like the

0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:56.840
<v Speaker 5>literal like kind of representation of that.

0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:57.160
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

0:14:57.160 --> 0:15:00.240
<v Speaker 5>I also just think as well, like about Claya, is

0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:04.360
<v Speaker 5>I that episode where she has to kill Luthen and

0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:06.880
<v Speaker 5>make sure it's done, we also see that she is

0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:11.720
<v Speaker 5>she has been hidden in this business, hidden in plain sight.

0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:14.920
<v Speaker 5>She's always stressed at people, she's always pissed off. But

0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:16.760
<v Speaker 5>we also see that, Yeah, part of the reason for

0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:19.800
<v Speaker 5>that is she can fucking handle herself, Like she takes

0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:23.160
<v Speaker 5>out all of those stormtroopers. She is ready to fight,

0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:25.840
<v Speaker 5>but she has had to be playing this part and

0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:28.520
<v Speaker 5>I think that is also such an interesting part of

0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:31.360
<v Speaker 5>her character. And yeah, I love Claya And those were

0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:32.840
<v Speaker 5>all great, and we also see what.

0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:35.120
<v Speaker 7>Before we move off of those two things, One we

0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:37.240
<v Speaker 7>get to see how Clea teaches Luthan, and I found

0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:40.640
<v Speaker 7>that so that the bartering scene was tied your shout

0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:42.840
<v Speaker 7>out to the little girl. She's such a great actress.

0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:46.320
<v Speaker 7>She really killed that role. And I think like understanding

0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:49.000
<v Speaker 7>that Luvin's first disguise is actually taught to him by

0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:51.880
<v Speaker 7>Claia and not the other way around. Like what he

0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:54.960
<v Speaker 7>is good at is the span as the patient seeing

0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:57.600
<v Speaker 7>the big picture, which she is great at is those

0:15:57.640 --> 0:16:00.920
<v Speaker 7>interpersonal reactions, and he learns that from her because he

0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:03.040
<v Speaker 7>from what we see of him with his troops like

0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:11.360
<v Speaker 7>not great checking in personality. It doesn't seem like things

0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:13.840
<v Speaker 7>are going well socially, and so I really feel like

0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:16.840
<v Speaker 7>we get to that side of Claya as well. And

0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:19.240
<v Speaker 7>and the fact that so much of Luthan is her,

0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:21.520
<v Speaker 7>I was like, that's amazing. I also just really want

0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:25.520
<v Speaker 7>to call out I think Luthen his song makes him

0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:29.520
<v Speaker 7>ess here at BB Luthan of Coraissant is one of

0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:33.240
<v Speaker 7>the most beautiful haunting songs, and we get the starts

0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:36.080
<v Speaker 7>of it when Claya is in the apartment by herself,

0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:40.160
<v Speaker 7>just staring out the window. It is gorgeous and dark

0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:45.640
<v Speaker 7>and like lovely and inspiring and really encapsulates this character

0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:47.520
<v Speaker 7>that we've gotten to know, and I think the best

0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:50.920
<v Speaker 7>Star Wars characters get amazing songs. This is an amazing song.

0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:55.080
<v Speaker 6>M Can we just shout in terms of per Can

0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:57.160
<v Speaker 6>we just say Lonnie like Lottie?

0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:02.440
<v Speaker 2>I want to say that.

0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:09.400
<v Speaker 1>I love Huan and he is obviously the top three

0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:15.320
<v Speaker 1>most important figures in the Rebellion ever historical and I

0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:20.240
<v Speaker 1>am not one to argue with his decisions being surrounded

0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:20.960
<v Speaker 1>by danger.

0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:24.240
<v Speaker 5>And you're not like saying you would have done it differently.

0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:28.040
<v Speaker 2>You don't know, did deserve better?

0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:28.840
<v Speaker 8>He did?

0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:32.359
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, he absolutely deserved better.

0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:36.920
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not sure what decisions could have been made

0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:41.840
<v Speaker 1>previous to his ignominious gut shot on a park bench,

0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:47.080
<v Speaker 1>anonymous death on a park bench, but it feels like

0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:51.320
<v Speaker 1>there must have been something that either party, Luthen or

0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:54.640
<v Speaker 1>Lonnie could have done just make the outcome a little better,

0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:59.359
<v Speaker 1>because that guy literally gave his life to get the

0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:04.560
<v Speaker 1>death start Intels and to go out like that, and

0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:07.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm sure his family is in a prison

0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:10.320
<v Speaker 1>like three floors up from Dedra.

0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:14.560
<v Speaker 2>It's I feel bad for that.

0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:17.200
<v Speaker 5>I think it's the Luthan I got just part of

0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:20.960
<v Speaker 5>the the kind of unraveling of Lutheran is in that moment,

0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:23.600
<v Speaker 5>he's so scared and he's like, I don't have time

0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:25.960
<v Speaker 5>to deal with this, like we know what the issue is.

0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:28.920
<v Speaker 5>But no, I mean, they absolutely could have just sent

0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:33.159
<v Speaker 5>him to a like beach planet with his family like

0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:35.720
<v Speaker 5>there was. I definitely believe there's a version where Lonnie

0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:40.480
<v Speaker 5>could have existed, but I think that the set up

0:18:41.359 --> 0:18:42.040
<v Speaker 5>very clearly.

0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:44.840
<v Speaker 1>You can tell from that exchange that at some point

0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:47.280
<v Speaker 1>in the past Luthen had said, we'll get you off planet,

0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:52.520
<v Speaker 1>write you and your family off planet, and it just

0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:53.640
<v Speaker 1>became too late.

0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:54.640
<v Speaker 5>They were.

0:18:56.040 --> 0:18:59.040
<v Speaker 6>They were on Lutheran within an hour of that conversation.

0:18:59.400 --> 0:19:03.120
<v Speaker 5>It was so, yeah, it's too late, But yeah, I'm

0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:04.560
<v Speaker 5>glad he got out.

0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:06.800
<v Speaker 6>He was also he was isolated though right, like he

0:19:06.840 --> 0:19:08.600
<v Speaker 6>didn't have to say, well, I'll take you to Yavin,

0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:11.000
<v Speaker 6>like he could have let Lonnie take his chances and

0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:12.840
<v Speaker 6>maybe he gets out. But if he doesn't get out,

0:19:13.240 --> 0:19:14.520
<v Speaker 6>he could only burn Luthen.

0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:17.439
<v Speaker 7>And Lonnie is not going to stand up if we

0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:22.000
<v Speaker 7>don't have a collapse immediately with.

0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:24.240
<v Speaker 5>Funny guy.

0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:27.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad, yes, with respect because he took on immense stager.

0:19:27.600 --> 0:19:30.640
<v Speaker 1>Let me ask you this the decision to not tell

0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Luthen right away that I'm across I'm across Dedra's computer

0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:37.000
<v Speaker 1>like for a year.

0:19:38.960 --> 0:19:42.040
<v Speaker 5>This argument is the reason he dies because.

0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:44.600
<v Speaker 1>His argument is, well, Luthen, you would have pushed me

0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:47.680
<v Speaker 1>to like scrape all this intel, and then that would

0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:50.720
<v Speaker 1>have been blown up way earlier. Doing it my way,

0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:53.520
<v Speaker 1>I was able to get this like last little drip

0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:56.359
<v Speaker 1>of intel that tells us there. Maybe he's right about that,

0:19:56.400 --> 0:19:59.240
<v Speaker 1>But what is your your thoughts on that? Should he

0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:01.840
<v Speaker 1>have told lu Because I agree with you, Rosie, this

0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:03.160
<v Speaker 1>is kind of why he's dead.

0:20:03.320 --> 0:20:06.000
<v Speaker 5>I think if he'd have told Luthen, you know, two

0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:09.679
<v Speaker 5>weeks prior. I think that there's some other version of

0:20:09.720 --> 0:20:12.560
<v Speaker 5>this where Lonnie decides it's worth it to tell Lutheran.

0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:15.920
<v Speaker 5>But I also think that with the things that going

0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:18.960
<v Speaker 5>the way they are on Gorman and our understanding of

0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:21.040
<v Speaker 5>how the empire is working at this point, and the

0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:23.480
<v Speaker 5>push to finish the Death Star, I also do think

0:20:23.520 --> 0:20:26.560
<v Speaker 5>there is a reading of this where this is the

0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:30.000
<v Speaker 5>moment he tells Luthen, because this is the moment he

0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:32.919
<v Speaker 5>finally puts everything together and understands what's going on. So

0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:35.520
<v Speaker 5>I don't know if there is an earlier time that

0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:38.600
<v Speaker 5>he can present this information without Luthen just saying, oh yeah,

0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:40.199
<v Speaker 5>show me how to do it and then shooting him

0:20:40.240 --> 0:20:42.679
<v Speaker 5>in the head. You know, that's kind of the danger

0:20:42.720 --> 0:20:43.199
<v Speaker 5>with Luthen.

0:20:44.359 --> 0:20:46.200
<v Speaker 6>To me, the big thing here is one of the

0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:49.160
<v Speaker 6>massive questions of this show the entire time for two years,

0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:52.840
<v Speaker 6>who is going to get the information about the Death Star?

0:20:53.280 --> 0:20:55.560
<v Speaker 6>And for me, I was always wondering, was Carn going

0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:57.760
<v Speaker 6>to flip on Dedra and he was going to provide it?

0:20:57.920 --> 0:21:01.439
<v Speaker 6>I also that feeling, was Dedra going to flip on

0:21:01.480 --> 0:21:04.719
<v Speaker 6>the Empire after Karn was killed and was she going

0:21:04.760 --> 0:21:07.840
<v Speaker 6>to provide it? No, in the end, it's Lonnie who

0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:10.760
<v Speaker 6>was the reliable source who Luthan was willing to kill

0:21:10.840 --> 0:21:13.760
<v Speaker 6>thirty people, let thirty people die on a mission in

0:21:13.920 --> 0:21:18.160
<v Speaker 6>order to protect Lonnie and keep in placed and always

0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:20.800
<v Speaker 6>in position. And Lonnie came through, and that is the

0:21:21.320 --> 0:21:26.240
<v Speaker 6>ultimately the justification for Luthan's entire mindset and method. This

0:21:26.359 --> 0:21:27.920
<v Speaker 6>is how I liked it was all the plan.

0:21:28.160 --> 0:21:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, Okay, let's take a quick break and we'll

0:21:31.040 --> 0:21:46.840
<v Speaker 1>be right back, and we're back.

0:21:47.000 --> 0:21:47.280
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:52.639
<v Speaker 1>We talked about our MVP, who are our you know,

0:21:52.720 --> 0:21:55.000
<v Speaker 1>either group or singular LVP.

0:21:55.359 --> 0:21:59.359
<v Speaker 7>Who's the least valuable player in all of that is

0:21:59.400 --> 0:22:01.679
<v Speaker 7>the leaders of the rebel Alliance.

0:22:06.160 --> 0:22:06.880
<v Speaker 5>And the way.

0:22:11.720 --> 0:22:12.800
<v Speaker 8>I was so mad.

0:22:13.160 --> 0:22:16.040
<v Speaker 5>I was so mad at that guy, Like, what the.

0:22:15.800 --> 0:22:19.159
<v Speaker 7>Fuck dude, who is it?

0:22:19.320 --> 0:22:21.919
<v Speaker 1>Wait, it's it's not the Donna, right, we need to

0:22:21.960 --> 0:22:24.640
<v Speaker 1>get the actual, the actual Let's let's.

0:22:24.720 --> 0:22:26.239
<v Speaker 8>Another Saturday.

0:22:27.440 --> 0:22:28.440
<v Speaker 5>And shame him.

0:22:28.840 --> 0:22:31.640
<v Speaker 2>But I completely agree. We've been talking about this in chat.

0:22:31.840 --> 0:22:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Other than mon Mothma, everybody else is like a Johnny

0:22:35.600 --> 0:22:38.280
<v Speaker 1>cup lately who just got here and now is throwing

0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:41.560
<v Speaker 1>their weight around and they don't know the snakes what's

0:22:41.600 --> 0:22:43.040
<v Speaker 1>been happening here?

0:22:43.920 --> 0:22:48.440
<v Speaker 7>Not using a code if unless it's the height of necessity.

0:22:48.600 --> 0:22:50.879
<v Speaker 7>To and Or's point, even if it is a trap,

0:22:51.040 --> 0:22:52.960
<v Speaker 7>we still need to go because.

0:22:52.720 --> 0:22:54.480
<v Speaker 2>This is a message that doesn't change anything.

0:22:54.520 --> 0:22:57.840
<v Speaker 7>He wouldn't fold otherwise, like something is happening, we need

0:22:57.880 --> 0:22:59.439
<v Speaker 7>to go check it out for them to be like,

0:22:59.560 --> 0:23:01.760
<v Speaker 7>excuse me, you need a flight plant, move get out.

0:23:05.600 --> 0:23:06.240
<v Speaker 8>Who's Claire?

0:23:08.960 --> 0:23:14.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, everybody's like what just the ratus ratus strategic genius

0:23:14.560 --> 0:23:15.639
<v Speaker 1>in a military sense.

0:23:15.920 --> 0:23:18.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, man, yeah, it's it's very.

0:23:18.600 --> 0:23:21.719
<v Speaker 6>Frustrating, but this is this is this concept that the

0:23:21.760 --> 0:23:23.920
<v Speaker 6>central thing that Tony wanted to tell right, the fact

0:23:23.920 --> 0:23:26.480
<v Speaker 6>that there are different stages in an insurgency, and we

0:23:26.520 --> 0:23:28.399
<v Speaker 6>knew from the beginning that Luthen was not going to

0:23:28.400 --> 0:23:30.159
<v Speaker 6>be able to make it all the way through, and

0:23:30.200 --> 0:23:32.760
<v Speaker 6>this idea of people they don't even know everything that

0:23:32.800 --> 0:23:36.000
<v Speaker 6>he's done, they just have heard enough that they're like, we, wo,

0:23:36.119 --> 0:23:39.480
<v Speaker 6>we cannot be associated with those kinds of things. Uh,

0:23:39.560 --> 0:23:42.159
<v Speaker 6>now that we've got X wings and people in uniforms

0:23:42.200 --> 0:23:44.600
<v Speaker 6>and you know, we're trying to be this this real rebellion.

0:23:45.680 --> 0:23:47.800
<v Speaker 6>So I thought that was extremely effective to show that

0:23:47.880 --> 0:23:50.480
<v Speaker 6>Tension and even Clay are being so afraid to go

0:23:50.520 --> 0:23:53.000
<v Speaker 6>to Yavin and then when they get there and Cassie

0:23:53.040 --> 0:23:54.399
<v Speaker 6>is like, yeah, it's gonna be fine when we get there,

0:23:54.400 --> 0:23:56.720
<v Speaker 6>and he's like, oh, I'm fucked, I'm rounded.

0:23:56.960 --> 0:23:57.600
<v Speaker 7>Sorry.

0:23:57.880 --> 0:23:58.240
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

0:23:58.480 --> 0:24:01.679
<v Speaker 5>Also as well, like it's the fear of, like you know,

0:24:01.840 --> 0:24:04.760
<v Speaker 5>at some point the empire, the rebels are going to

0:24:04.840 --> 0:24:08.040
<v Speaker 5>have to like look like they're like cleaning up the

0:24:08.119 --> 0:24:11.600
<v Speaker 5>rebellion and making sure that the people who've been doing

0:24:11.720 --> 0:24:14.960
<v Speaker 5>dangerous things and blowing things up, and you've got to

0:24:15.040 --> 0:24:16.679
<v Speaker 5>like have that fear of like well, am I going

0:24:16.720 --> 0:24:18.800
<v Speaker 5>to be the scapegoat? You know? And I will say

0:24:19.359 --> 0:24:22.600
<v Speaker 5>he did not come up in our MVP conversation, but

0:24:22.720 --> 0:24:25.000
<v Speaker 5>I do always want to shout out, you know, Sawgerera.

0:24:25.119 --> 0:24:28.040
<v Speaker 5>I think obviously Lutheran is a central figure in this,

0:24:28.160 --> 0:24:30.119
<v Speaker 5>and we get to see how his version of the

0:24:30.160 --> 0:24:33.159
<v Speaker 5>rebellion is. But let's remember that by the time we

0:24:33.200 --> 0:24:37.160
<v Speaker 5>get to Rogue One, mon Mathma is already basically writing

0:24:37.320 --> 0:24:40.439
<v Speaker 5>Sow out of the rebel story. He is the scapegoat.

0:24:40.480 --> 0:24:42.760
<v Speaker 5>She's like, he is the one who's doing too much.

0:24:42.840 --> 0:24:45.560
<v Speaker 5>He's the one who's blowing things up. But the reality,

0:24:45.600 --> 0:24:47.720
<v Speaker 5>as we learn in and Or, is he is the

0:24:47.720 --> 0:24:51.600
<v Speaker 5>one who's doing the missions that allow the rebellion to survive.

0:24:51.800 --> 0:24:54.159
<v Speaker 5>He is the one who is getting the fuel that

0:24:54.200 --> 0:24:56.240
<v Speaker 5>they need, who is getting the parts that they need,

0:24:56.720 --> 0:25:00.520
<v Speaker 5>And he is the one who is puff that rider exactly.

0:25:00.560 --> 0:25:03.479
<v Speaker 5>And he's the one who's emboldening people like Will who

0:25:03.560 --> 0:25:05.720
<v Speaker 5>at the beginning of this season, you know, we saw

0:25:06.640 --> 0:25:10.080
<v Speaker 5>struggle with the balance between both, but Saw radicalized him

0:25:10.080 --> 0:25:12.679
<v Speaker 5>in a way that enabled him to stay alive. And

0:25:12.760 --> 0:25:15.440
<v Speaker 5>I do think that, you know, as a Sogrera apologist,

0:25:15.960 --> 0:25:18.760
<v Speaker 5>he was, He's another person who I think the rebel

0:25:18.840 --> 0:25:22.400
<v Speaker 5>leadership like let down and also like made a mistake

0:25:22.880 --> 0:25:27.840
<v Speaker 5>pushing away so so variantly because they are a mess,

0:25:27.920 --> 0:25:31.040
<v Speaker 5>and as we see as we head into the original trilogy,

0:25:31.320 --> 0:25:33.600
<v Speaker 5>they do not get this ship sorted quickly enough and

0:25:33.640 --> 0:25:35.920
<v Speaker 5>there is even another death style that gets to be built.

0:25:35.920 --> 0:25:40.320
<v Speaker 5>So let's be real about the success over the rebels.

0:25:39.920 --> 0:25:43.399
<v Speaker 8>Like they didn't they didn't have Luther's network.

0:25:45.480 --> 0:25:51.360
<v Speaker 7>David's Dravin is the guy who lv I will I'll

0:25:51.359 --> 0:25:53.840
<v Speaker 7>say the Dravid.

0:25:54.800 --> 0:25:58.040
<v Speaker 2>Will, I'll I'll stick up for the.

0:25:57.960 --> 0:25:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Council even the way I agree they are the LVP

0:26:00.200 --> 0:26:04.320
<v Speaker 1>like this, but here's how I'm gonna stick up for them.

0:26:04.600 --> 0:26:09.080
<v Speaker 1>And I think, Hit, you're exactly right in that. What

0:26:09.320 --> 0:26:11.679
<v Speaker 1>this show is telling us, what Tony is showing us

0:26:11.840 --> 0:26:16.479
<v Speaker 1>is like, hey, guys, democracy means everybody doesn't get what

0:26:16.520 --> 0:26:21.520
<v Speaker 1>they want all the time. And in order to keep legitimacy,

0:26:22.040 --> 0:26:25.920
<v Speaker 1>keep that tent big, bring all the people into the

0:26:25.920 --> 0:26:30.040
<v Speaker 1>fight that wouldn't otherwise have joined. If you know it

0:26:30.080 --> 0:26:32.320
<v Speaker 1>was just Saw and Cassie and you know, Do and

0:26:32.320 --> 0:26:36.240
<v Speaker 1>all this stuff. It is these kind of tensions are

0:26:36.760 --> 0:26:39.000
<v Speaker 1>just part of it. It's going to be really frustrating,

0:26:39.760 --> 0:26:45.439
<v Speaker 1>but it's part of it and I respect that that

0:26:45.560 --> 0:26:48.479
<v Speaker 1>they decided to tell that story to add that aspect

0:26:48.560 --> 0:26:52.399
<v Speaker 1>of it. And I think the rebellion is there's a

0:26:52.440 --> 0:26:56.359
<v Speaker 1>reason that you don't have like military junta figures, Like

0:26:56.400 --> 0:26:57.640
<v Speaker 1>at the top of the rebellion.

0:26:57.680 --> 0:26:58.800
<v Speaker 7>It's not like, you.

0:26:58.760 --> 0:27:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Know, it's mon Mathma, it's it's former senators. And yes,

0:27:01.480 --> 0:27:04.679
<v Speaker 1>you have this military aspect, but it's not like you know,

0:27:04.800 --> 0:27:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Grandma f Tarkin.

0:27:06.560 --> 0:27:08.640
<v Speaker 5>Like five grands you know what I mean.

0:27:09.080 --> 0:27:10.680
<v Speaker 7>And I think that that is.

0:27:13.359 --> 0:27:18.320
<v Speaker 1>I think that's why the republic is something that people

0:27:18.480 --> 0:27:20.920
<v Speaker 1>still are trying to rebuild at this point in time

0:27:20.960 --> 0:27:24.280
<v Speaker 1>in galactic history, because it lets everybody have a voice.

0:27:24.280 --> 0:27:26.480
<v Speaker 1>And when you let everybody have a voice, you have

0:27:26.600 --> 0:27:28.960
<v Speaker 1>issues like people who don't know what the fuck is

0:27:29.000 --> 0:27:32.359
<v Speaker 1>going on saying, wait, were you going with that ship?

0:27:32.400 --> 0:27:34.719
<v Speaker 2>How dare you? Who the fuck is Luthen?

0:27:35.520 --> 0:27:41.479
<v Speaker 1>And that is yeah, and that is really frustrating. And

0:27:41.600 --> 0:27:44.240
<v Speaker 1>I found myself being like, what the fuck did John?

0:27:44.600 --> 0:27:48.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, Jan shouts to Dodonna who does die and

0:27:48.920 --> 0:27:51.840
<v Speaker 1>gives his life to the cause, but like in retrospect,

0:27:51.920 --> 0:27:55.159
<v Speaker 1>what did he really do? Like other there's just scheduling

0:27:58.040 --> 0:28:03.159
<v Speaker 1>coming calib yeah, and it's it is really frustrating, but

0:28:03.280 --> 0:28:07.760
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a necessary aspect to democracy and to

0:28:08.080 --> 0:28:12.399
<v Speaker 1>leveling up this fight so that it's not just you know,

0:28:12.440 --> 0:28:17.840
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of scattered freedom fighters slash terrorists blowing up

0:28:17.880 --> 0:28:19.040
<v Speaker 1>stuff and stealing things.

0:28:19.040 --> 0:28:22.159
<v Speaker 2>Like it's a real, right, actual movement.

0:28:22.320 --> 0:28:26.840
<v Speaker 9>And I want to say, like, obviously we talked about

0:28:26.920 --> 0:28:29.879
<v Speaker 9>him already, but I do just want to say to me,

0:28:30.760 --> 0:28:33.520
<v Speaker 9>it is like so, and I know you would hate

0:28:33.520 --> 0:28:35.719
<v Speaker 9>to hear somebody just saying this kind of stuff, but like,

0:28:36.080 --> 0:28:42.040
<v Speaker 9>it is so astonishing that Tony Gilroy took this tiny

0:28:42.200 --> 0:28:45.120
<v Speaker 9>seed of what he was able to put into andor

0:28:45.160 --> 0:28:45.680
<v Speaker 9>which was.

0:28:45.640 --> 0:28:50.240
<v Speaker 5>The question and the statement of like hey, yeah, look

0:28:50.280 --> 0:28:53.480
<v Speaker 5>who's getting the medals and look who did the work

0:28:53.520 --> 0:28:56.640
<v Speaker 5>and we'll never get the recognition, which to me is

0:28:56.960 --> 0:28:59.560
<v Speaker 5>why rogue one. I saw that in cinemas like three

0:28:59.640 --> 0:29:02.040
<v Speaker 5>or four when it came out, because it just blew

0:29:02.080 --> 0:29:04.480
<v Speaker 5>me away. And also everyone wanted to see it. I

0:29:04.520 --> 0:29:06.960
<v Speaker 5>remember it was a family thing. It's it's Thanksgiving or

0:29:07.000 --> 0:29:09.000
<v Speaker 5>whenever it came out, like let's all go together, we

0:29:09.080 --> 0:29:12.040
<v Speaker 5>have to watch it. That moment spoke to me. But

0:29:12.120 --> 0:29:15.920
<v Speaker 5>that was not what everyone got from that shirt that movie.

0:29:16.560 --> 0:29:19.400
<v Speaker 5>It was a brilliant Star Wars action movie with a

0:29:19.440 --> 0:29:22.800
<v Speaker 5>bleak ending. It twisted, you know, it shocked people. But

0:29:22.880 --> 0:29:26.000
<v Speaker 5>to me, the fact that Tony was able to sow

0:29:26.040 --> 0:29:29.480
<v Speaker 5>that seed there and then expand it into a series

0:29:30.000 --> 0:29:31.400
<v Speaker 5>that will go down as not only one of the

0:29:31.400 --> 0:29:33.320
<v Speaker 5>best entries into Star Wars, but one of the best

0:29:33.480 --> 0:29:38.719
<v Speaker 5>entries into TV that then extrapolates that to the point

0:29:38.760 --> 0:29:43.200
<v Speaker 5>where we are in a situation where The Atlantic and

0:29:43.520 --> 0:29:46.480
<v Speaker 5>The New Yorker are writing about this show and its

0:29:46.520 --> 0:29:50.080
<v Speaker 5>political impact as much as people on the Internet are

0:29:50.080 --> 0:29:53.360
<v Speaker 5>talking about it. Like, I do think it's an astonishing

0:29:53.480 --> 0:29:56.479
<v Speaker 5>feat and I think that the level of writing and

0:29:56.520 --> 0:30:00.320
<v Speaker 5>the kind of understanding of humans and aliens and whoever

0:30:00.360 --> 0:30:04.400
<v Speaker 5>else that Tony has is just like just unbelievable, And

0:30:04.440 --> 0:30:06.560
<v Speaker 5>I think the show is like a testament to that.

0:30:07.400 --> 0:30:09.520
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I mean, it's rare that you get a show

0:30:09.560 --> 0:30:15.040
<v Speaker 7>that can accurately explore like the truth and underbelly of

0:30:15.120 --> 0:30:17.760
<v Speaker 7>like a peaceful movement, you know what I mean, Like

0:30:17.840 --> 0:30:23.240
<v Speaker 7>a non violent protest is not for the people, it's

0:30:23.320 --> 0:30:26.000
<v Speaker 7>for everyone watching as a way of being like, hey,

0:30:26.080 --> 0:30:28.960
<v Speaker 7>even when we're standing here doing absolutely nothing. They're willing

0:30:29.000 --> 0:30:31.840
<v Speaker 7>to kill us and show it to you. Please come help.

0:30:33.080 --> 0:30:35.040
<v Speaker 7>And I think the if we just look at the

0:30:35.120 --> 0:30:37.880
<v Speaker 7>last three sets of episode really the last six, like

0:30:37.960 --> 0:30:40.880
<v Speaker 7>that whole middle section is doing such a good job

0:30:40.920 --> 0:30:44.360
<v Speaker 7>of exploring like what happens when a small community with

0:30:44.440 --> 0:30:48.840
<v Speaker 7>very little resources comes under attack. And I think there's

0:30:48.920 --> 0:30:51.760
<v Speaker 7>not many shows and again I keep comparing it to Watchmen,

0:30:51.840 --> 0:30:55.080
<v Speaker 7>but I just think it's probably the most apt Peter

0:30:55.320 --> 0:30:58.880
<v Speaker 7>this show has. Is it's like the to be able

0:30:58.920 --> 0:31:05.160
<v Speaker 7>to explore with such rich contexts, deeply complicated like human

0:31:05.240 --> 0:31:09.040
<v Speaker 7>situations when it comes to like both interpersonal politics and

0:31:09.120 --> 0:31:12.760
<v Speaker 7>politics on like a grand scale, like that's a deft pen.

0:31:12.840 --> 0:31:14.200
<v Speaker 7>And then also to turn around and goes one of

0:31:14.240 --> 0:31:16.880
<v Speaker 7>the best spy moments in episode ten. That's a whole

0:31:16.880 --> 0:31:21.160
<v Speaker 7>spy movie that of exquisite nature, like we're feasting. I'm

0:31:21.200 --> 0:31:23.280
<v Speaker 7>sad it's over, but I'm also glad we get to Eves.

0:31:23.840 --> 0:31:26.080
<v Speaker 1>I want to call that, you know, like recency bias

0:31:26.080 --> 0:31:28.160
<v Speaker 1>has us talking about and Orcy, Yeah, which is the

0:31:28.200 --> 0:31:30.840
<v Speaker 1>reason we're having this round tail. But I just want

0:31:30.880 --> 0:31:35.560
<v Speaker 1>to speaking of death pens and kind of like a

0:31:35.560 --> 0:31:40.200
<v Speaker 1>a philosophical MVP of the of the show Neemic who

0:31:41.600 --> 0:31:48.240
<v Speaker 1>his manifesto? Whose manifesto is so powerful and influential that

0:31:49.920 --> 0:31:54.440
<v Speaker 1>party Gaz is listening to it before he kills himself, and.

0:31:54.520 --> 0:31:57.440
<v Speaker 5>He's so stressed the other people can hear it.

0:31:57.560 --> 0:32:00.200
<v Speaker 1>He just knows, I mean it kind of kind of

0:32:00.480 --> 0:32:06.120
<v Speaker 1>is the the encapsulation of the problem the Empire has

0:32:06.240 --> 0:32:09.360
<v Speaker 1>is they can't squeeze hard enough to stop that.

0:32:10.360 --> 0:32:13.680
<v Speaker 6>The tighter, the more systems will slip through your fingers.

0:32:13.600 --> 0:32:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Exactly, and the more that manifesto will spread and clearly

0:32:17.320 --> 0:32:20.800
<v Speaker 1>has spread across the galaxy. So shouts Stemic and yeah,

0:32:21.000 --> 0:32:25.360
<v Speaker 1>an incredible piece of writing within Star Wars Unbelieved Manifestos.

0:32:24.640 --> 0:32:28.080
<v Speaker 5>And also h like you guys cover You know, obviously

0:32:28.080 --> 0:32:30.360
<v Speaker 5>the pocoff began as a joom pod and now it

0:32:30.440 --> 0:32:37.440
<v Speaker 5>is this broader sci fi genre movie explosion kind of exploration.

0:32:37.520 --> 0:32:40.200
<v Speaker 5>You just hit two hundred and fifty episodes with Jason

0:32:41.000 --> 0:32:44.160
<v Speaker 5>and with Jason. Juan joined you here too for Empire.

0:32:44.800 --> 0:32:47.320
<v Speaker 5>But you, me and Jason talked quite extensively on the

0:32:47.360 --> 0:32:52.400
<v Speaker 5>pot about like political movies and thrillers and like films

0:32:52.440 --> 0:32:55.560
<v Speaker 5>like Come and See and Army of shadows, and obviously

0:32:55.680 --> 0:32:58.400
<v Speaker 5>Dune is one of the old original kind of allegorical

0:32:58.440 --> 0:33:02.720
<v Speaker 5>sci fi stories. So how much of that was what

0:33:02.760 --> 0:33:05.280
<v Speaker 5>you loved about Andal because it's a great Star Wars story,

0:33:05.280 --> 0:33:06.840
<v Speaker 5>but it's a great human story.

0:33:07.240 --> 0:33:07.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:33:07.520 --> 0:33:10.320
<v Speaker 6>So we had been tracking and talking about and waiting

0:33:10.320 --> 0:33:12.440
<v Speaker 6>for and Or for over a year right for season

0:33:12.440 --> 0:33:15.720
<v Speaker 6>two to come back, And it was really the events

0:33:15.920 --> 0:33:19.880
<v Speaker 6>after January twentieth of this year where we were all

0:33:20.000 --> 0:33:22.920
<v Speaker 6>kind of like languishing in the discord, kind of dealing

0:33:22.960 --> 0:33:25.440
<v Speaker 6>with day after day like just can't believe the news

0:33:25.480 --> 0:33:29.320
<v Speaker 6>we are seeing in our everyday life, and this march

0:33:29.400 --> 0:33:33.000
<v Speaker 6>towards a more authoritarian situation, and we were like, we've

0:33:33.000 --> 0:33:35.240
<v Speaker 6>got to start watching and Or our season one right

0:33:35.280 --> 0:33:39.000
<v Speaker 6>now and talk about it. And it became a lifeline

0:33:39.080 --> 0:33:41.840
<v Speaker 6>and a place where we could explore the themes that

0:33:41.840 --> 0:33:46.240
<v Speaker 6>we were having such pain in but in an unconnected way,

0:33:47.200 --> 0:33:51.000
<v Speaker 6>and then filter it back. So this show showing the

0:33:51.080 --> 0:33:54.520
<v Speaker 6>power of resistance exactly to say Joelle, that people showing

0:33:54.640 --> 0:33:57.440
<v Speaker 6>up for other people and allowing them to see something

0:33:57.480 --> 0:34:01.080
<v Speaker 6>and understand that acts of resistance do have me and

0:34:01.120 --> 0:34:02.960
<v Speaker 6>that we're gonna find our way and it's going to

0:34:03.000 --> 0:34:07.280
<v Speaker 6>be an unexpected avenues and unexpected actors who step into

0:34:07.280 --> 0:34:10.400
<v Speaker 6>the breach. So for me, that that that was the

0:34:10.440 --> 0:34:13.200
<v Speaker 6>whole thing of what Tony has done here. It's so powerful.

0:34:14.120 --> 0:34:31.280
<v Speaker 2>Let's take a quick break in the griff and we're back. Okay,

0:34:31.320 --> 0:34:32.120
<v Speaker 2>let's settle this.

0:34:33.920 --> 0:34:35.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, one of the essential Star Wars questions, I

0:34:36.000 --> 0:34:42.960
<v Speaker 1>think do droids are droids truly alive in that they

0:34:43.080 --> 0:34:48.120
<v Speaker 1>have some sort of soul and spirit or are they

0:34:48.239 --> 0:34:54.640
<v Speaker 1>just merely highly advanced analytical, large language models that tell

0:34:54.680 --> 0:34:57.399
<v Speaker 1>you what they expect you want to hear.

0:34:57.840 --> 0:35:02.359
<v Speaker 5>I think that has been enough evidence. Whether it is

0:35:02.640 --> 0:35:06.600
<v Speaker 5>R two D two choosing not to tell you know Anakin,

0:35:07.480 --> 0:35:13.399
<v Speaker 5>or whether it is the kind of mass murder kind

0:35:13.480 --> 0:35:16.200
<v Speaker 5>of passion that Chopper has. I think that there is

0:35:16.400 --> 0:35:22.759
<v Speaker 5>enough evidence that droids have personalities in this world. And

0:35:22.800 --> 0:35:27.359
<v Speaker 5>I think it is because in Star Wars, every single

0:35:27.480 --> 0:35:30.320
<v Speaker 5>character is just made up of the people that they've

0:35:30.400 --> 0:35:33.000
<v Speaker 5>met and the people that have changed them. And I

0:35:33.000 --> 0:35:36.560
<v Speaker 5>think that the droids are a representation of that because

0:35:36.600 --> 0:35:40.160
<v Speaker 5>it is to do with who fixed you and who

0:35:40.360 --> 0:35:43.360
<v Speaker 5>spoke to you, and who taught you this and who

0:35:43.400 --> 0:35:48.680
<v Speaker 5>gave you that. And I think that for the stories

0:35:48.719 --> 0:35:51.279
<v Speaker 5>to have the impact that they have, the droids have

0:35:51.480 --> 0:35:55.000
<v Speaker 5>to have some kind of sentience, because like when you

0:35:55.080 --> 0:35:58.480
<v Speaker 5>see K two s and he is just absolutely fucking

0:35:58.600 --> 0:36:03.359
<v Speaker 5>bodying Nazis, you feel that this is something that has

0:36:03.400 --> 0:36:06.600
<v Speaker 5>actually been kind of suppressed in him. And when he

0:36:06.719 --> 0:36:11.279
<v Speaker 5>is able to fully just explode and use his full

0:36:11.320 --> 0:36:14.120
<v Speaker 5>power and use it for good and kind of create

0:36:14.200 --> 0:36:17.720
<v Speaker 5>a rapport and relationship and play games with these people,

0:36:17.960 --> 0:36:20.759
<v Speaker 5>it feels so natural and it feels moving. And I

0:36:20.760 --> 0:36:23.799
<v Speaker 5>think that is because we see them in that way.

0:36:23.840 --> 0:36:26.359
<v Speaker 5>And for me, I think they have to. They have

0:36:26.440 --> 0:36:28.799
<v Speaker 5>to have kind of whatever you would say, a soul,

0:36:28.920 --> 0:36:33.279
<v Speaker 5>a spirit, some kind of cognizant understanding of themselves. I

0:36:33.280 --> 0:36:35.400
<v Speaker 5>think that they have to. And I love droids.

0:36:38.520 --> 0:36:42.400
<v Speaker 6>H I don't believe in souls for humans, but I

0:36:42.400 --> 0:36:45.560
<v Speaker 6>do believe in consciousness. So, you know, I was just

0:36:45.600 --> 0:36:47.560
<v Speaker 6>talking to my son who's seven. You know, he said,

0:36:47.560 --> 0:36:49.160
<v Speaker 6>I don't believe in heaven, and I was like, I

0:36:49.160 --> 0:36:51.840
<v Speaker 6>don't believe in heaven either. But part of the reason

0:36:51.920 --> 0:36:55.520
<v Speaker 6>why our lives have so much meaning is because we

0:36:55.640 --> 0:36:58.239
<v Speaker 6>have this opportunity to interact with others and to have

0:36:58.280 --> 0:37:01.640
<v Speaker 6>this experience and become a fully shaped person and help people.

0:37:02.400 --> 0:37:04.600
<v Speaker 6>So to me, like K two.

0:37:04.920 --> 0:37:06.640
<v Speaker 8>Killing it in the game, are two?

0:37:06.719 --> 0:37:09.560
<v Speaker 6>They're they're just as they're just as real and valuable

0:37:09.600 --> 0:37:12.600
<v Speaker 6>as anyone else with that consciousness.

0:37:12.800 --> 0:37:17.040
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, K two being like so confused in the card game,

0:37:17.120 --> 0:37:19.960
<v Speaker 7>trying to be like, well, statistically, this is not making

0:37:20.000 --> 0:37:23.200
<v Speaker 7>any kind of sense. I love sort of the hybrid

0:37:23.520 --> 0:37:27.960
<v Speaker 7>space we've ended up in Star Wars, where your programming

0:37:28.200 --> 0:37:33.560
<v Speaker 7>is programming, but your interactions with that programming make you

0:37:33.640 --> 0:37:37.279
<v Speaker 7>like or what give these robots personification? And I do

0:37:37.360 --> 0:37:44.400
<v Speaker 7>think droids have soul's consciousness, however viewer you choose to

0:37:44.480 --> 0:37:48.239
<v Speaker 7>describe it. I think, you know, we get to see

0:37:48.280 --> 0:37:50.520
<v Speaker 7>K two make a sacrifice if you roll directly into

0:37:50.600 --> 0:37:54.040
<v Speaker 7>Rogue one after this and make a very clear choice

0:37:54.239 --> 0:37:57.359
<v Speaker 7>to and his existence. You know, we don't know if

0:37:57.400 --> 0:38:00.759
<v Speaker 7>you can revive this version of Okay, we've seen three

0:38:00.760 --> 0:38:03.680
<v Speaker 7>pob revived, so there's some hope in my heart that

0:38:03.760 --> 0:38:06.600
<v Speaker 7>if the right people, But who's going back to that planet.

0:38:06.239 --> 0:38:09.440
<v Speaker 5>Even you know, in the first season of The Man

0:38:09.520 --> 0:38:12.880
<v Speaker 5>Glorian you get that huge sacrifice, and I think that

0:38:13.560 --> 0:38:17.960
<v Speaker 5>there is something Yeah, and also as well, like just

0:38:18.640 --> 0:38:20.920
<v Speaker 5>I think something that Tony did really well here that

0:38:21.040 --> 0:38:22.880
<v Speaker 5>maybe if it had been in the movie and there

0:38:22.880 --> 0:38:25.640
<v Speaker 5>hadn't been as much exploration of it, people would have

0:38:25.680 --> 0:38:28.440
<v Speaker 5>been like, Oh, that's gimmicky, or that's like that's too

0:38:28.560 --> 0:38:32.120
<v Speaker 5>kind of corny or cheesy. As I be too. Emo

0:38:32.280 --> 0:38:36.759
<v Speaker 5>is always so worried about Cassio. My gosh, Cassian to

0:38:36.800 --> 0:38:39.280
<v Speaker 5>be there, and he wants to know Cassian's gonna be okay.

0:38:39.280 --> 0:38:43.280
<v Speaker 5>And I think that is an explicit There's no reason

0:38:43.280 --> 0:38:47.120
<v Speaker 5>that you're programming would make you put it across in

0:38:47.160 --> 0:38:49.880
<v Speaker 5>that way. You know, I think like the nature of

0:38:49.960 --> 0:38:53.040
<v Speaker 5>the worry and the anxiety and the kind of and

0:38:53.080 --> 0:38:55.800
<v Speaker 5>we got that in you know, we have much maligned

0:38:55.840 --> 0:38:57.600
<v Speaker 5>it on the show. But in Rise of Skywalker there

0:38:57.640 --> 0:38:59.640
<v Speaker 5>is a droid with anxiety, which I did think was

0:38:59.640 --> 0:39:03.040
<v Speaker 5>an in resting kind of twist. And yeah, I think

0:39:03.120 --> 0:39:07.759
<v Speaker 5>I am a I'm a droid, droids have consciousness or else.

0:39:07.840 --> 0:39:09.480
<v Speaker 5>Star Wars kind of doesn't mean anything.

0:39:09.640 --> 0:39:13.000
<v Speaker 7>Just how relieved I am that Biggs has ended back

0:39:13.080 --> 0:39:17.160
<v Speaker 7>with Beat. He's not alone, our little guy is now

0:39:17.160 --> 0:39:19.600
<v Speaker 7>that they left him alone. He was incapable hands. But

0:39:19.640 --> 0:39:21.840
<v Speaker 7>I'm just glad he's back with family. I was worried

0:39:21.880 --> 0:39:22.719
<v Speaker 7>about our guy.

0:39:22.719 --> 0:39:24.800
<v Speaker 6>And I knew that was going to happen. If you

0:39:25.000 --> 0:39:27.799
<v Speaker 6>feel so clear that that that reunion was going to

0:39:27.840 --> 0:39:30.799
<v Speaker 6>be there. It was just adding the third character that

0:39:30.800 --> 0:39:31.720
<v Speaker 6>that blew my mind.

0:39:32.000 --> 0:39:34.880
<v Speaker 5>Uh, And so okay, I need to ask about it,

0:39:34.880 --> 0:39:38.760
<v Speaker 5>seeing as the babies come up again so many many weeks.

0:39:38.800 --> 0:39:41.360
<v Speaker 5>So I will say this is I believe it was

0:39:41.400 --> 0:39:45.320
<v Speaker 5>alis R in our in our discord pose the idea.

0:39:45.400 --> 0:39:47.880
<v Speaker 5>And I'm sorry to be the Dave Filoni of this podcast.

0:39:47.960 --> 0:39:50.319
<v Speaker 5>I know this is going to annoy some people, like

0:39:51.160 --> 0:39:54.040
<v Speaker 5>somebody posed the idea in our discord and this has

0:39:54.120 --> 0:39:58.520
<v Speaker 5>now popped off because somebody did a hilarious meme prediction

0:39:58.719 --> 0:40:01.760
<v Speaker 5>that ended up feeling alone bit more true to life

0:40:02.160 --> 0:40:04.920
<v Speaker 5>at the end of this that Cassie and and Bis

0:40:05.000 --> 0:40:09.800
<v Speaker 5>are Podamren's parents, and at the end she is holding

0:40:09.840 --> 0:40:12.640
<v Speaker 5>you know, baby Podamren. Now, I will say in Star

0:40:12.680 --> 0:40:15.960
<v Speaker 5>Wars it is there has been a problem where if

0:40:16.000 --> 0:40:18.120
<v Speaker 5>people of the same race are in Star Wars, they

0:40:18.160 --> 0:40:20.279
<v Speaker 5>are usually related. So I would say, this is a

0:40:20.320 --> 0:40:22.480
<v Speaker 5>fair this is a fair bet. We did it. There

0:40:22.560 --> 0:40:26.360
<v Speaker 5>was a little bit of contentious conversation in the discord

0:40:26.520 --> 0:40:31.440
<v Speaker 5>because uh, pod Ammren does have established parents, but that

0:40:31.640 --> 0:40:35.400
<v Speaker 5>doesn't really matter, honestly, and they were established in the comics.

0:40:35.719 --> 0:40:37.760
<v Speaker 5>And I will say one thing I do love about

0:40:37.760 --> 0:40:41.440
<v Speaker 5>this potential theory is in the comics what we learned

0:40:41.480 --> 0:40:44.880
<v Speaker 5>that his mum and is a famous fighter pilot and

0:40:44.920 --> 0:40:47.360
<v Speaker 5>she goes on a mission with Luke and she finds

0:40:47.440 --> 0:40:50.239
<v Speaker 5>a force tree, and then Poe grows up with this

0:40:50.280 --> 0:40:52.920
<v Speaker 5>force tree in the garden. That's just a story I

0:40:52.920 --> 0:40:55.440
<v Speaker 5>would love to see Bis embark on, even if it

0:40:55.520 --> 0:40:58.640
<v Speaker 5>is not because she is Poe's mother. So yeah, I

0:40:58.719 --> 0:41:01.320
<v Speaker 5>just want to put out there, is the baby connected

0:41:01.360 --> 0:41:04.160
<v Speaker 5>to Star Wars? Is the baby just a representation of

0:41:04.239 --> 0:41:06.279
<v Speaker 5>hope and that life goes on? Like, how do you

0:41:06.280 --> 0:41:08.759
<v Speaker 5>guys feel about those kind of theories popping up? H

0:41:08.800 --> 0:41:10.640
<v Speaker 5>I'm gonna go to you as as a man who

0:41:10.680 --> 0:41:13.319
<v Speaker 5>I believe probably just enjoys the textual nature of what

0:41:13.360 --> 0:41:14.319
<v Speaker 5>Tony's putting down.

0:41:14.800 --> 0:41:17.960
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I just for me, it's magic because it doesn't

0:41:17.960 --> 0:41:21.200
<v Speaker 6>have a connection. And so I'm very happy for that

0:41:21.800 --> 0:41:24.359
<v Speaker 6>baby to be somebody, And I'm sure they have a

0:41:24.400 --> 0:41:26.719
<v Speaker 6>meaningful life that they have in Star Wars, but it

0:41:26.760 --> 0:41:29.000
<v Speaker 6>doesn't have to be po in order to have it

0:41:29.040 --> 0:41:31.880
<v Speaker 6>be really special for me, and I think again the

0:41:32.000 --> 0:41:35.880
<v Speaker 6>magic trick, it wasn't just that Tony had to create

0:41:37.000 --> 0:41:39.400
<v Speaker 6>the and or show that explained his journey. It's the

0:41:39.440 --> 0:41:41.920
<v Speaker 6>fact that he found an entire pocket of Star Wars

0:41:42.080 --> 0:41:45.120
<v Speaker 6>where he could operate with complete freedom and have it

0:41:45.200 --> 0:41:48.040
<v Speaker 6>be unconnected from everything else and have all of the

0:41:48.120 --> 0:41:50.920
<v Speaker 6>meaning that we love, and so that I think I

0:41:51.400 --> 0:41:53.200
<v Speaker 6>just want to hold with that space that he can.

0:41:53.280 --> 0:41:56.640
<v Speaker 5>I think it's fun and I think it's like emotional,

0:41:56.800 --> 0:42:01.399
<v Speaker 5>and the impact of it is like it doesn't it's

0:42:01.440 --> 0:42:04.839
<v Speaker 5>not taken away by it being nobody that makes it

0:42:04.880 --> 0:42:07.919
<v Speaker 5>more special, you know. But then obviously, I think as

0:42:07.920 --> 0:42:10.440
<v Speaker 5>Star Wars fans and especially people who love the animated

0:42:10.480 --> 0:42:11.640
<v Speaker 5>series and stuff, and.

0:42:11.560 --> 0:42:14.520
<v Speaker 6>The people who read a lot of X Men comments.

0:42:14.160 --> 0:42:17.680
<v Speaker 5>You can't kind of help start making those connections. Joelle,

0:42:17.800 --> 0:42:20.360
<v Speaker 5>I know me and you were both big We enjoyed

0:42:20.360 --> 0:42:21.720
<v Speaker 5>how this theory made us feel.

0:42:22.120 --> 0:42:24.840
<v Speaker 7>So I will say that in the initial discovery of

0:42:24.880 --> 0:42:26.480
<v Speaker 7>it and reading it in the discord, I was like,

0:42:28.000 --> 0:42:30.200
<v Speaker 7>that's exciting because I had seen it's so funny this

0:42:30.280 --> 0:42:33.080
<v Speaker 7>person predicted the baby before the baby showed up in

0:42:33.120 --> 0:42:35.920
<v Speaker 7>the episode. Yes, yes, and I had already seen these episodes,

0:42:35.960 --> 0:42:38.120
<v Speaker 7>so I was like, how did what is going on?

0:42:38.200 --> 0:42:40.040
<v Speaker 7>So I had like some time to sit with it

0:42:40.080 --> 0:42:44.000
<v Speaker 7>and think about it. In the end, I think I

0:42:44.080 --> 0:42:46.000
<v Speaker 7>do sort of feel the same way that I felt.

0:42:46.080 --> 0:42:48.719
<v Speaker 7>And they were like, oh, Finns related lander.

0:42:50.239 --> 0:42:53.360
<v Speaker 5>Could you imagine that there's more than three Latinos in space?

0:42:53.640 --> 0:42:57.759
<v Speaker 7>Like right here you are? So I think, and I

0:42:59.080 --> 0:43:03.400
<v Speaker 7>just think, like me, that baby represents like everything about

0:43:03.440 --> 0:43:08.160
<v Speaker 7>the show, like if you oh man, like the ability

0:43:08.239 --> 0:43:10.680
<v Speaker 7>to go back to the space that felt like home

0:43:10.880 --> 0:43:14.600
<v Speaker 7>for Bicks, to like raise a kid there, to find

0:43:14.880 --> 0:43:18.239
<v Speaker 7>a relative sense of peace finally for her, like I

0:43:18.280 --> 0:43:21.000
<v Speaker 7>think this. You know, we talked so much about our

0:43:21.000 --> 0:43:23.080
<v Speaker 7>fear of Bis getting fridged.

0:43:22.680 --> 0:43:26.560
<v Speaker 5>And then the.

0:43:26.160 --> 0:43:28.160
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, there was a lot of folks who felt like

0:43:28.239 --> 0:43:30.480
<v Speaker 7>betrayed when she left. They were like, how could you

0:43:30.560 --> 0:43:33.480
<v Speaker 7>leave Cassian? And even now I will say what I

0:43:33.520 --> 0:43:35.239
<v Speaker 7>was like, she'd better not be holding a baby. I

0:43:35.320 --> 0:43:40.560
<v Speaker 7>was like, this, bitch, I'm so upset, how dare you play?

0:43:41.920 --> 0:43:45.560
<v Speaker 7>Told him he would have absolutely like the whole point,

0:43:45.680 --> 0:43:51.120
<v Speaker 7>like I know that you cannot you can barely focus

0:43:51.200 --> 0:43:56.959
<v Speaker 7>worrying about me, And because Cassian lost his whole entire

0:43:57.000 --> 0:44:00.000
<v Speaker 7>family fighting this thing and understands what is to grow up,

0:44:00.719 --> 0:44:03.200
<v Speaker 7>you know, first having lost a set of parents and

0:44:03.239 --> 0:44:06.120
<v Speaker 7>then mourning another one murdered in the town square. Like

0:44:06.400 --> 0:44:08.160
<v Speaker 7>I don't think Cassian could put his kids through that.

0:44:08.239 --> 0:44:10.719
<v Speaker 7>I really think like the whole concept of fatherhood would

0:44:10.719 --> 0:44:13.560
<v Speaker 7>have changed him. And BIGX was like, but you're doing

0:44:14.000 --> 0:44:16.640
<v Speaker 7>the highest good here, and you're really good at this.

0:44:16.800 --> 0:44:20.440
<v Speaker 7>There's no one Luthen trusts more except Clia, Like you

0:44:20.560 --> 0:44:23.879
<v Speaker 7>have to stay and I need peace. Like she she's

0:44:23.960 --> 0:44:26.960
<v Speaker 7>breaking down under this, not because she's the weak person,

0:44:27.040 --> 0:44:28.279
<v Speaker 7>but because she.

0:44:28.360 --> 0:44:32.000
<v Speaker 5>Is like for so much more than every much more.

0:44:32.280 --> 0:44:34.720
<v Speaker 6>She couldn't be there with a baby on Javin, trying

0:44:34.719 --> 0:44:37.839
<v Speaker 6>to trying to send and around on missions no.

0:44:37.760 --> 0:44:39.320
<v Speaker 7>And so for her to carve out a space of

0:44:39.400 --> 0:44:41.520
<v Speaker 7>peace for herself, I just thought, like, this is the

0:44:41.600 --> 0:44:43.799
<v Speaker 7>most beautiful possible ending you could give her.

0:44:43.840 --> 0:44:47.360
<v Speaker 6>And that shot, that shot of her in the field,

0:44:47.480 --> 0:44:48.200
<v Speaker 6>my god.

0:44:48.239 --> 0:44:51.360
<v Speaker 5>Kind of like looking up to the sky of knowing

0:44:51.400 --> 0:44:53.839
<v Speaker 5>that Cassian's doing the thing he needs to do. And

0:44:53.920 --> 0:44:59.319
<v Speaker 5>I also love exactly and I also love the the

0:44:59.400 --> 0:45:02.919
<v Speaker 5>while I the openness that Tony gave us here, which

0:45:03.000 --> 0:45:06.680
<v Speaker 5>is like you can have whatever version of that ending

0:45:06.719 --> 0:45:09.120
<v Speaker 5>that you want, Like for now, you can imagine that

0:45:09.120 --> 0:45:11.840
<v Speaker 5>that baby is whoever you want, or it's nobody. I

0:45:11.880 --> 0:45:14.719
<v Speaker 5>would love to see Bicks get to be a kind

0:45:14.760 --> 0:45:17.000
<v Speaker 5>of more classical rebellion hero. But you know what else,

0:45:17.040 --> 0:45:19.000
<v Speaker 5>I would love for her to just be able to

0:45:19.040 --> 0:45:22.200
<v Speaker 5>live on like Big Week forever with her baby and

0:45:22.360 --> 0:45:25.040
<v Speaker 5>just raise a chill baby in the happiness and the

0:45:25.080 --> 0:45:28.520
<v Speaker 5>freedom the few years a bit that they get from

0:45:28.600 --> 0:45:31.160
<v Speaker 5>the sacrifice that Cassian left, and I think that that

0:45:31.360 --> 0:45:35.360
<v Speaker 5>is a really powerful place to leave us. And also,

0:45:36.480 --> 0:45:38.120
<v Speaker 5>as somebody put in the group chat, you know, the

0:45:38.160 --> 0:45:41.200
<v Speaker 5>only person who's getting fridged in this show is it

0:45:41.239 --> 0:45:45.000
<v Speaker 5>was Cyril They Fridge the guy, which like never happens.

0:45:47.680 --> 0:45:49.839
<v Speaker 6>How about the hat trick of the show is called

0:45:49.880 --> 0:45:51.880
<v Speaker 6>and Or, And we always assumed that it's about it's

0:45:51.920 --> 0:45:55.279
<v Speaker 6>about Cassian, but when we get to episode twelve of

0:45:55.320 --> 0:45:58.960
<v Speaker 6>season one, we realize Marva and Or is the one

0:45:59.000 --> 0:46:02.600
<v Speaker 6>who first likes to spark on Feryx. And then now

0:46:02.640 --> 0:46:06.200
<v Speaker 6>we have a third and Or who is born, and

0:46:06.239 --> 0:46:09.200
<v Speaker 6>so in a way, it's it's reflecting all three generations.

0:46:09.760 --> 0:46:11.520
<v Speaker 8>I love it really is.

0:46:11.840 --> 0:46:15.560
<v Speaker 7>Oh wow, I hadn't thought about that. I just think

0:46:15.600 --> 0:46:18.840
<v Speaker 7>this flows really well into the cannon of Star Wars,

0:46:18.840 --> 0:46:21.680
<v Speaker 7>and it really sets of blueprint for other creators who

0:46:21.719 --> 0:46:24.360
<v Speaker 7>might want to come in and dabble in this universe

0:46:24.400 --> 0:46:27.480
<v Speaker 7>in ways that are different. You know. I was reading

0:46:27.480 --> 0:46:30.080
<v Speaker 7>that some people felt like this was a pretty nihilistic show.

0:46:30.160 --> 0:46:32.120
<v Speaker 7>I beg to differ.

0:46:33.960 --> 0:46:34.760
<v Speaker 5>Very hopeful.

0:46:35.120 --> 0:46:38.279
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, not only is it very hopeful, but like, if

0:46:38.320 --> 0:46:40.960
<v Speaker 7>you're a nihilist, there's really not a reason to fight, Like,

0:46:41.040 --> 0:46:42.880
<v Speaker 7>there's no there's no reason to get up in the

0:46:42.880 --> 0:46:45.200
<v Speaker 7>morning and and try to fight in these streets as

0:46:45.200 --> 0:46:48.080
<v Speaker 7>a nihilist, what do you It doesn't make no sense.

0:46:48.200 --> 0:46:50.880
<v Speaker 7>I just feel like there's there's so much beauty and

0:46:50.960 --> 0:46:53.880
<v Speaker 7>hope and love in this show and the way that

0:46:53.920 --> 0:46:56.799
<v Speaker 7>they've allowed again big holes for us to either feel

0:46:56.840 --> 0:46:59.400
<v Speaker 7>in theory. You know, we love doing that space for

0:46:59.440 --> 0:47:01.560
<v Speaker 7>other writers come in and pick up the story in

0:47:01.719 --> 0:47:03.480
<v Speaker 7>enough left on the end that if you wanted to

0:47:03.480 --> 0:47:06.480
<v Speaker 7>pick up this story an interesting way, you can without

0:47:06.520 --> 0:47:09.759
<v Speaker 7>all interfering with what's been done here. I think it's

0:47:09.760 --> 0:47:11.680
<v Speaker 7>just brilliant, ye, Jnihilism.

0:47:12.560 --> 0:47:14.360
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, well, I was gonna say, Jason, is there anything

0:47:14.360 --> 0:47:16.480
<v Speaker 6>you think they missed? Like, is there is there anything

0:47:16.520 --> 0:47:19.120
<v Speaker 6>you you wish they would have done or a different

0:47:20.239 --> 0:47:22.080
<v Speaker 6>a different choice.

0:47:22.960 --> 0:47:27.080
<v Speaker 5>Not really, I mean it was in his bag.

0:47:27.719 --> 0:47:29.279
<v Speaker 2>I do think that there was.

0:47:30.200 --> 0:47:35.520
<v Speaker 1>I was always interested in the interior imperial politics, you know.

0:47:35.600 --> 0:47:38.040
<v Speaker 1>I think that they did a good job of sketching

0:47:38.160 --> 0:47:45.160
<v Speaker 1>the the frictions between the different levels of hierarchy in

0:47:46.280 --> 0:47:51.480
<v Speaker 1>and how you know, you've always got to be completely

0:47:51.520 --> 0:47:55.839
<v Speaker 1>subservient to whoever your bosses, and very careful to never

0:47:55.920 --> 0:47:57.080
<v Speaker 1>outshine your boss.

0:47:57.160 --> 0:48:01.000
<v Speaker 5>Or the rule of two is like real doing some filter.

0:48:01.520 --> 0:48:06.560
<v Speaker 5>It's filtered down down, politics hapened, and so I really enjoyed,

0:48:06.640 --> 0:48:08.759
<v Speaker 5>you know, like Krenick is such a.

0:48:10.760 --> 0:48:16.239
<v Speaker 1>He's such an evil, but like almost comically slapstick, like

0:48:17.320 --> 0:48:21.600
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't understand that he's stepping on rakes every time

0:48:21.680 --> 0:48:25.440
<v Speaker 1>he turns this way, and that he doesn't understand or

0:48:26.239 --> 0:48:31.080
<v Speaker 1>see the full scope of what a fucking dumbass he is.

0:48:31.440 --> 0:48:34.279
<v Speaker 7>He's definitely someone who's been given power without having had

0:48:34.280 --> 0:48:37.759
<v Speaker 7>to earn it at all, because there's no concept to

0:48:37.760 --> 0:48:40.600
<v Speaker 7>your point, Jason, of like how are my actions having

0:48:40.640 --> 0:48:44.040
<v Speaker 7>caught everyone? Even your closest at part of gas is like, uh, hey, guy,

0:48:44.160 --> 0:48:45.840
<v Speaker 7>you should have been done with this, like a long

0:48:45.880 --> 0:48:46.279
<v Speaker 7>time ago.

0:48:46.400 --> 0:48:47.360
<v Speaker 8>We are wide, are they?

0:48:48.600 --> 0:48:52.319
<v Speaker 7>He sound like Tarken. Dude, calm down, fine, We're almost there.

0:48:55.800 --> 0:48:58.480
<v Speaker 1>You don't understand the whole project hinges on one guy

0:48:58.560 --> 0:48:59.520
<v Speaker 1>who doesn't even want to be.

0:48:59.520 --> 0:48:59.920
<v Speaker 8>Building the.

0:49:02.760 --> 0:49:06.160
<v Speaker 5>Don't worry, We'll make him do it and so, And from.

0:49:06.120 --> 0:49:07.840
<v Speaker 2>That perspective, I.

0:49:10.160 --> 0:49:13.400
<v Speaker 1>Would have liked a little bit more Empire, but I

0:49:13.480 --> 0:49:16.080
<v Speaker 1>don't need it, and I you know, I'm left with

0:49:16.239 --> 0:49:19.359
<v Speaker 1>absolutely no qualms about everything that I saw. I think

0:49:19.400 --> 0:49:24.640
<v Speaker 1>it was the show so far exceeded my expectations that

0:49:25.640 --> 0:49:30.960
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of the only.

0:49:29.040 --> 0:49:31.640
<v Speaker 6>Turn that I wanted to see, and I did not

0:49:31.760 --> 0:49:34.719
<v Speaker 6>expect it. But as a season began, I had a

0:49:34.840 --> 0:49:39.160
<v Speaker 6>soft spot for the ultimate l v P parent.

0:49:40.120 --> 0:49:44.040
<v Speaker 8>Oh so seeing him and that last time.

0:49:45.360 --> 0:49:46.359
<v Speaker 2>With Golden's wife.

0:49:47.400 --> 0:49:48.440
<v Speaker 7>So, so what happened to.

0:49:50.760 --> 0:49:54.640
<v Speaker 8>Perfect? It's so good, it's too good.

0:49:56.680 --> 0:49:58.719
<v Speaker 7>This is your daughter's mother in law.

0:49:59.040 --> 0:50:01.319
<v Speaker 5>Parents fucking good.

0:50:01.800 --> 0:50:03.960
<v Speaker 7>And I don't think you fight off the gags the

0:50:04.239 --> 0:50:05.799
<v Speaker 7>parent made poor parent's dead.

0:50:05.840 --> 0:50:10.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think scolding is yeah, skulling clearly like out

0:50:10.120 --> 0:50:11.920
<v Speaker 1>of the picture, maybe for various.

0:50:11.680 --> 0:50:12.879
<v Speaker 2>Reasons, and uh.

0:50:14.640 --> 0:50:18.680
<v Speaker 5>Also hi, yeah, maybe moving up or for whatever reason.

0:50:18.680 --> 0:50:21.520
<v Speaker 6>I guess, But I wanted to see Paren like he

0:50:21.800 --> 0:50:25.120
<v Speaker 6>was the young firebrand, and I was hoping that in

0:50:25.280 --> 0:50:27.640
<v Speaker 6>some small way, not that he would go to Yavin

0:50:27.760 --> 0:50:30.239
<v Speaker 6>or something, but that in some small way he would

0:50:30.239 --> 0:50:34.720
<v Speaker 6>have been inspired by Mon's choice and and made some contribution.

0:50:34.840 --> 0:50:36.080
<v Speaker 6>That's the only change I would have like seen.

0:50:36.120 --> 0:50:37.560
<v Speaker 2>It makes sense, I will say that.

0:50:37.920 --> 0:50:41.800
<v Speaker 1>I here's what I love about the Parent character is,

0:50:42.760 --> 0:50:45.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think anybody that's been around like uh,

0:50:46.800 --> 0:50:51.360
<v Speaker 1>progressive politics, protests or whatever, he's aware of the person

0:50:51.480 --> 0:50:54.920
<v Speaker 1>who's like there because it's cool, right, And I think, you.

0:50:54.920 --> 0:50:56.359
<v Speaker 2>Know, Paren was kind of one of those.

0:50:57.840 --> 0:51:00.279
<v Speaker 5>He had a lot to say, but he is not

0:51:00.440 --> 0:51:03.880
<v Speaker 5>interested in doing anything more than that. His wife is

0:51:03.960 --> 0:51:06.359
<v Speaker 5>incredibly hot, and for a while he's just like going

0:51:06.400 --> 0:51:10.319
<v Speaker 5>along with it. Rich he kind of hates to see

0:51:11.040 --> 0:51:16.080
<v Speaker 5>her shine or kind of move beyond his his meanings,

0:51:16.160 --> 0:51:18.040
<v Speaker 5>I think. And he made his choice. And we talked

0:51:18.120 --> 0:51:20.960
<v Speaker 5>quite a lot about that moment because it is so

0:51:21.360 --> 0:51:24.160
<v Speaker 5>depressing and sad when you just see him there and

0:51:24.239 --> 0:51:26.359
<v Speaker 5>it's like, yeah, drink through it, man, enjoy your plu

0:51:27.160 --> 0:51:27.880
<v Speaker 5>in this to.

0:51:27.960 --> 0:51:32.080
<v Speaker 1>Me is a nihilistic That's a nihilistic character who just says, yeah,

0:51:32.640 --> 0:51:33.640
<v Speaker 1>let's just let's.

0:51:33.440 --> 0:51:34.040
<v Speaker 7>Just keep going.

0:51:34.160 --> 0:51:37.000
<v Speaker 5>Let's just drink through it and uncomfortable.

0:51:36.560 --> 0:51:39.680
<v Speaker 1>Enough, and I can medicate myself through this, and that's fine.

0:51:40.000 --> 0:51:42.719
<v Speaker 1>The nihilism charge is interesting to me because to me,

0:51:42.920 --> 0:51:46.560
<v Speaker 1>what I think people are saying with that is.

0:51:50.040 --> 0:51:51.640
<v Speaker 2>That they just want a happier ending.

0:51:51.920 --> 0:51:53.360
<v Speaker 5>They want they were heroes.

0:51:53.880 --> 0:51:58.440
<v Speaker 1>They the level of sacrifice makes them uncomfortable in the

0:51:59.120 --> 0:52:03.080
<v Speaker 1>context of us Star Wars story, and they want to

0:52:03.160 --> 0:52:05.560
<v Speaker 1>see those metals get pinned on chests.

0:52:05.920 --> 0:52:10.560
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, and if there is a legitimate like claim to that,

0:52:10.960 --> 0:52:12.920
<v Speaker 7>I know, here's what I'll say.

0:52:12.920 --> 0:52:13.920
<v Speaker 5>Okay, So I know that.

0:52:14.000 --> 0:52:16.759
<v Speaker 7>Star Wars is originally a series for children, and I

0:52:16.800 --> 0:52:20.320
<v Speaker 7>think that's beautiful. And I think we have an egregious

0:52:20.320 --> 0:52:23.800
<v Speaker 7>amount of content for children that is specifically Star Wars

0:52:24.200 --> 0:52:26.359
<v Speaker 7>that speaks to them and warns of the dangers of war,

0:52:26.400 --> 0:52:29.279
<v Speaker 7>which I feel like is really important. I also think

0:52:29.360 --> 0:52:32.600
<v Speaker 7>it's really important that this show is talking strictly to

0:52:32.719 --> 0:52:36.800
<v Speaker 7>adults about not just the consequences, but like what fallout

0:52:36.920 --> 0:52:40.719
<v Speaker 7>looks like, like what sacrifice might have to look like.

0:52:40.840 --> 0:52:44.200
<v Speaker 7>The people that you might are being told are rebels

0:52:44.200 --> 0:52:46.840
<v Speaker 7>aren't like, actually look at what they're doing. Examine that. Like,

0:52:47.960 --> 0:52:52.080
<v Speaker 7>it to me really exemplifies what those lessons are supposed

0:52:52.080 --> 0:52:54.160
<v Speaker 7>to be and drive them home for an older age.

0:52:54.440 --> 0:52:57.600
<v Speaker 7>And I think that's great. I mean, we're all comics people.

0:52:57.840 --> 0:53:00.800
<v Speaker 7>We're used to characters being shoved into different shapes and

0:53:00.920 --> 0:53:04.160
<v Speaker 7>forms and tones to fit an audience. I think that

0:53:04.360 --> 0:53:07.279
<v Speaker 7>that's okay to have in Star Wars. And I think

0:53:07.280 --> 0:53:08.920
<v Speaker 7>it's totally fine if you watch this and you're like,

0:53:09.000 --> 0:53:11.360
<v Speaker 7>this is too blique for me, I'm not interested in

0:53:11.520 --> 0:53:14.719
<v Speaker 7>I think that's totally fair. I completely understand that. I

0:53:14.920 --> 0:53:17.000
<v Speaker 7>just I do think that I have a great deal

0:53:17.080 --> 0:53:20.879
<v Speaker 7>of appreciation for this thing I've left for a long time,

0:53:20.920 --> 0:53:23.200
<v Speaker 7>sort of growing up and step and in the space

0:53:23.239 --> 0:53:25.680
<v Speaker 7>that I can step up to and and enjoy. I

0:53:25.719 --> 0:53:26.600
<v Speaker 7>think it's important.

0:53:27.120 --> 0:53:28.160
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I'm just gonna.

0:53:27.960 --> 0:53:29.000
<v Speaker 7>Get the accolades.

0:53:29.040 --> 0:53:31.600
<v Speaker 5>Do you think I think it's gonna get I think accolades.

0:53:31.680 --> 0:53:32.360
<v Speaker 8>I think are we.

0:53:32.360 --> 0:53:33.680
<v Speaker 7>Talking statues are talking hard.

0:53:34.760 --> 0:53:37.439
<v Speaker 8>I think it's gonna get.

0:53:37.600 --> 0:53:42.680
<v Speaker 5>I think it's gonna get nominations. Will it win questionable,

0:53:42.800 --> 0:53:45.879
<v Speaker 5>that's still scared of genre, that's still scared of these

0:53:46.000 --> 0:53:48.359
<v Speaker 5>kind of big I P properties. But I do think

0:53:48.400 --> 0:53:52.799
<v Speaker 5>it's gonna I think it will get amount of nominations.

0:53:52.960 --> 0:53:57.160
<v Speaker 1>The critical claim is overwhelming, So they've got that and

0:53:57.239 --> 0:54:03.800
<v Speaker 1>the people in the awarding post and never underestimate the

0:54:04.000 --> 0:54:08.400
<v Speaker 1>power of the Disney marketing machine to make the case

0:54:08.480 --> 0:54:09.040
<v Speaker 1>that this is a.

0:54:09.080 --> 0:54:13.640
<v Speaker 7>Great showering of awards. So I think it's got a

0:54:13.680 --> 0:54:14.080
<v Speaker 7>good shot.

0:54:14.120 --> 0:54:15.399
<v Speaker 2>I think it's got a really good shot.

0:54:15.600 --> 0:54:17.959
<v Speaker 7>I think I think they'll follow a lot of shows

0:54:18.000 --> 0:54:20.160
<v Speaker 7>other trends, which is like we'll really lean into eight

0:54:20.280 --> 0:54:24.320
<v Speaker 7>and probably ten, go for what like Luthin, maybe Claya

0:54:24.440 --> 0:54:28.680
<v Speaker 7>definitely and orm I think those are their acting categories.

0:54:30.920 --> 0:54:34.600
<v Speaker 5>From last from that season where it's like then you

0:54:34.680 --> 0:54:38.240
<v Speaker 5>start to narrow in, like Bella won like three different awards,

0:54:38.280 --> 0:54:40.400
<v Speaker 5>I think, and you start to focus. I think, if

0:54:40.440 --> 0:54:45.400
<v Speaker 5>there's any justice, I do think Diego should be really

0:54:45.520 --> 0:54:48.640
<v Speaker 5>in those conversations. But I also think Diego has the

0:54:48.760 --> 0:54:53.320
<v Speaker 5>ultimate problem, which is he is so so talented that

0:54:53.440 --> 0:54:56.800
<v Speaker 5>he makes it look easy and oftentimes award. If you

0:54:56.880 --> 0:55:00.239
<v Speaker 5>are very consistent and always great, it can be really

0:55:00.280 --> 0:55:02.680
<v Speaker 5>hard for a war shows to recognize you, and I

0:55:02.800 --> 0:55:04.920
<v Speaker 5>think that could be an issue. But yeah, I mean,

0:55:05.320 --> 0:55:09.560
<v Speaker 5>as we have and many others have speculated, the drop

0:55:09.719 --> 0:55:12.120
<v Speaker 5>format seems to imply it was because they wanted to

0:55:12.160 --> 0:55:14.360
<v Speaker 5>get him for this year's Emmys and stuff, and it

0:55:14.480 --> 0:55:17.879
<v Speaker 5>is the most highly rated and critically acclaimed Star Wars

0:55:18.120 --> 0:55:21.600
<v Speaker 5>live action project ever, So I will be interested to

0:55:21.680 --> 0:55:24.200
<v Speaker 5>see what this year's award season looks like. And I

0:55:24.360 --> 0:55:27.040
<v Speaker 5>just want to say I do think on the nihilism frame,

0:55:27.560 --> 0:55:30.919
<v Speaker 5>and this is not a critique. I do think one

0:55:31.040 --> 0:55:34.080
<v Speaker 5>of the reasons it's easy to make that read is

0:55:34.160 --> 0:55:38.320
<v Speaker 5>because Tony's quotes. He is a man who has a

0:55:38.400 --> 0:55:41.440
<v Speaker 5>realistic outlook on life. So he's out here and he's like,

0:55:41.880 --> 0:55:44.840
<v Speaker 5>six thousand years of human history, most of it fucking sucked.

0:55:44.880 --> 0:55:48.560
<v Speaker 5>He's like, most of it was famine, and this could

0:55:48.600 --> 0:55:50.719
<v Speaker 5>be in any time. And if you don't see that,

0:55:51.000 --> 0:55:53.399
<v Speaker 5>like thinking you live in a unique period of time

0:55:53.560 --> 0:55:57.880
<v Speaker 5>is like myopic. And I think his view on humanity

0:55:57.920 --> 0:56:01.920
<v Speaker 5>and human history, which is just realistic, it can seem nihilistic.

0:56:02.000 --> 0:56:03.600
<v Speaker 5>And I think if you're reading those quotes and the

0:56:03.640 --> 0:56:06.120
<v Speaker 5>show is already kind of bumming you out, maybe you

0:56:06.239 --> 0:56:08.360
<v Speaker 5>read it that way, but this is, you know, this

0:56:08.560 --> 0:56:09.680
<v Speaker 5>is they have introduced.

0:56:09.719 --> 0:56:10.080
<v Speaker 9>Now, the.

0:56:11.560 --> 0:56:14.399
<v Speaker 5>Introduction of a rebellion is built on hope, and it's

0:56:14.560 --> 0:56:17.520
<v Speaker 5>the guy who works the hotel in Gorman who makes

0:56:17.600 --> 0:56:20.560
<v Speaker 5>that choice, makes that sacrifice, as Jason has been putting

0:56:20.600 --> 0:56:23.600
<v Speaker 5>it this season, which I love, gums up the machine

0:56:23.719 --> 0:56:26.080
<v Speaker 5>in any little way he can. And that is what

0:56:26.239 --> 0:56:28.319
<v Speaker 5>the show is about. The show is about the hope

0:56:28.320 --> 0:56:30.560
<v Speaker 5>of a rebellion. It's about the hope of something better

0:56:30.960 --> 0:56:33.120
<v Speaker 5>for other people because you might not be here to

0:56:33.160 --> 0:56:35.200
<v Speaker 5>see it, but you believe that the action you are

0:56:35.280 --> 0:56:38.279
<v Speaker 5>taking could help others. That's like the most hopeful thing

0:56:38.320 --> 0:56:38.680
<v Speaker 5>you can have.

0:56:39.520 --> 0:56:43.160
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, And it was and or engaging him that in

0:56:43.280 --> 0:56:45.319
<v Speaker 6>a way that other people hadn't engaged him, as he's

0:56:45.360 --> 0:56:47.640
<v Speaker 6>dropped off bags in one hundred rooms a hundred times.

0:56:48.080 --> 0:56:50.480
<v Speaker 6>He took the moment to draw him out and get

0:56:50.560 --> 0:56:53.439
<v Speaker 6>that conversation that started it, that brought it back.

0:56:53.560 --> 0:56:55.840
<v Speaker 5>My god, I mean huge.

0:56:56.960 --> 0:57:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Let's take a quick break before them. The Emperor's shuttle arrives,

0:57:04.400 --> 0:57:12.439
<v Speaker 1>the walkway descends, and himself comes walking down the gang

0:57:12.520 --> 0:57:15.280
<v Speaker 1>plank to tell us his issues.

0:57:33.040 --> 0:57:33.640
<v Speaker 8>And we're back.

0:57:33.680 --> 0:57:34.240
<v Speaker 5>We're back.

0:57:38.800 --> 0:57:39.080
<v Speaker 2>Age.

0:57:39.200 --> 0:57:42.200
<v Speaker 1>If you have not been aware of what's been happening

0:57:42.240 --> 0:57:47.080
<v Speaker 1>in these round tables, uh, we like to close the

0:57:47.200 --> 0:57:52.440
<v Speaker 1>conversation by inviting super producer Aaron to the proceedings to

0:57:53.560 --> 0:57:55.760
<v Speaker 1>just be a little bit of the dark side of

0:57:55.800 --> 0:57:58.880
<v Speaker 1>the forest, a little bit of choking, a little bit

0:57:58.920 --> 0:58:02.400
<v Speaker 1>of finger lighting, just a little bit, a little bit

0:58:02.480 --> 0:58:06.760
<v Speaker 1>of evil thought projection, and to tell us, you know,

0:58:06.880 --> 0:58:08.920
<v Speaker 1>all the things that were wrong.

0:58:08.760 --> 0:58:12.959
<v Speaker 5>About I'm actually so excited to see H's reactions to this. Aaron,

0:58:13.040 --> 0:58:14.920
<v Speaker 5>tell us, what are the three worst things that happened

0:58:14.920 --> 0:58:16.280
<v Speaker 5>in and in the finale?

0:58:17.200 --> 0:58:21.160
<v Speaker 8>In the finale, the three worst things are they introduced

0:58:21.240 --> 0:58:24.880
<v Speaker 8>K two in a way that he's so overpowered that

0:58:25.040 --> 0:58:27.520
<v Speaker 8>they couldn't have him anywhere else. He couldn't have been

0:58:27.600 --> 0:58:29.200
<v Speaker 8>in the rest of the story because they it would

0:58:29.240 --> 0:58:31.720
<v Speaker 8>have been three episodes and would be done because Kate

0:58:31.800 --> 0:58:35.400
<v Speaker 8>the K two droids were fascinatingly strong and scary.

0:58:35.960 --> 0:58:37.000
<v Speaker 5>He is op and I love.

0:58:37.200 --> 0:58:40.240
<v Speaker 8>Yes, that's not really a bad thing. I did say,

0:58:40.720 --> 0:58:42.480
<v Speaker 8>you know, I think it was last week. One of

0:58:42.560 --> 0:58:45.600
<v Speaker 8>my biggest complaints was Cyril becoming like a hand to

0:58:45.640 --> 0:58:49.680
<v Speaker 8>hand like true karate master out of nowhere.

0:58:51.600 --> 0:58:59.640
<v Speaker 10>Okay, all I have to say that that was the

0:58:59.720 --> 0:59:02.240
<v Speaker 10>last expatch though, well, I just want to say the

0:59:02.320 --> 0:59:04.800
<v Speaker 10>Discord did have some things to say about that, which was,

0:59:05.120 --> 0:59:08.360
<v Speaker 10>you know, he used to be an agent, you think

0:59:08.760 --> 0:59:09.600
<v Speaker 10>have some training.

0:59:09.800 --> 0:59:11.880
<v Speaker 5>He was secure a like, come on our and the

0:59:11.960 --> 0:59:13.320
<v Speaker 5>discord was not happy about us.

0:59:13.560 --> 0:59:15.760
<v Speaker 8>Have you never signed someone up before? I look at

0:59:15.840 --> 0:59:17.720
<v Speaker 8>Cyril one minute and I'm like, he doesn't know how

0:59:17.720 --> 0:59:21.360
<v Speaker 8>to fight. I get that, butted him from it was

0:59:21.520 --> 0:59:28.480
<v Speaker 8>like not. But I will say I did appreciate these

0:59:28.520 --> 0:59:32.120
<v Speaker 8>three episodes actually made me change my mind because it

0:59:32.240 --> 0:59:35.560
<v Speaker 8>really highlights this idea that even these individuals who are

0:59:35.600 --> 0:59:39.440
<v Speaker 8>maybe fighting for the cause or the team, all of

0:59:39.520 --> 0:59:43.520
<v Speaker 8>them are still being led by their own personal desires

0:59:43.560 --> 0:59:45.520
<v Speaker 8>and biases, and so many of them went off the

0:59:45.640 --> 0:59:49.480
<v Speaker 8>rails in these three episodes because of that. Soddre is

0:59:49.800 --> 0:59:53.600
<v Speaker 8>hell bent on finding Cassian and Luthan and that is

0:59:53.680 --> 0:59:55.840
<v Speaker 8>her ultimate downfall, and so the same thing with Cyril.

0:59:55.880 --> 0:59:57.600
<v Speaker 8>So I did actually kind of change my mind a

0:59:57.640 --> 1:00:04.560
<v Speaker 8>little bit on that guys coal mine for it. Yeah,

1:00:05.520 --> 1:00:07.160
<v Speaker 8>another thing, I mean I joked about it with K

1:00:07.240 --> 1:00:09.560
<v Speaker 8>two s O what Another one of my complaints previously

1:00:09.760 --> 1:00:11.400
<v Speaker 8>was did we need this hide of a budget? Like

1:00:11.560 --> 1:00:13.920
<v Speaker 8>is this just gonna be bad if it doesn't the.

1:00:13.960 --> 1:00:17.120
<v Speaker 2>Wallet the wallet Inspector has returned.

1:00:18.920 --> 1:00:21.640
<v Speaker 8>And then they had K two playing cards.

1:00:23.800 --> 1:00:26.840
<v Speaker 5>Have you seen the budget for Indoor Season two? Mister

1:00:26.960 --> 1:00:32.800
<v Speaker 5>Igerat's absolutely. Larren's texting Ike Palma and he's definitely are

1:00:32.920 --> 1:00:35.800
<v Speaker 5>using some some low of safety clips.

1:00:35.480 --> 1:00:38.400
<v Speaker 7>In this one extra walk by for two seconds in

1:00:38.560 --> 1:00:39.280
<v Speaker 7>full make up.

1:00:39.360 --> 1:00:40.440
<v Speaker 5>Okay, take how much?

1:00:41.960 --> 1:00:44.160
<v Speaker 8>But but then they had K two playing cards, and

1:00:44.240 --> 1:00:46.919
<v Speaker 8>they had K two picking up people from their front

1:00:46.960 --> 1:00:52.880
<v Speaker 8>plates and dropping them. Loved it. If they try a

1:00:53.000 --> 1:00:55.280
<v Speaker 8>single dollar away from the K two c G I

1:00:55.400 --> 1:00:56.480
<v Speaker 8>would have been upset.

1:00:56.320 --> 1:00:57.040
<v Speaker 2>So I appreciate.

1:00:58.000 --> 1:01:00.640
<v Speaker 5>I love this. It's turning around. I, in.

1:01:00.840 --> 1:01:03.240
<v Speaker 8>All honesty, didn't have anything to complain about with these

1:01:03.320 --> 1:01:11.280
<v Speaker 8>last episodes. Jason brought Jason brought this up. One of

1:01:11.360 --> 1:01:14.360
<v Speaker 8>my favorite things was looking inside the Empire and getting

1:01:14.400 --> 1:01:18.160
<v Speaker 8>this really different view and seeing like the internal politics

1:01:18.200 --> 1:01:21.360
<v Speaker 8>of party gas, realizing like I'm just gonna fucking I'm

1:01:21.400 --> 1:01:24.160
<v Speaker 8>going down with the ship, like I have no way out,

1:01:24.240 --> 1:01:26.680
<v Speaker 8>I'm just taking my life here, and then seeing the

1:01:26.800 --> 1:01:31.840
<v Speaker 8>helmetless like bitch ass stormtroopers like I fucking hated them,

1:01:31.920 --> 1:01:34.000
<v Speaker 8>and it was so good. I was just like in

1:01:34.120 --> 1:01:37.080
<v Speaker 8>my notes, I'm like these fucking cops and then like, hmmm,

1:01:38.120 --> 1:01:40.480
<v Speaker 8>that whole hallway scene. I mean, Disney knows how to

1:01:40.560 --> 1:01:42.600
<v Speaker 8>do a hallway scene. Yeah, I loved it, and I

1:01:42.760 --> 1:01:46.640
<v Speaker 8>loved seeing them as these like the shaved heads and

1:01:46.720 --> 1:01:49.760
<v Speaker 8>the big ass mustache, and I'm like, this is this

1:01:49.920 --> 1:01:53.800
<v Speaker 8>is a different side of Stormtroopers we never see, Yeah,

1:01:53.840 --> 1:01:55.800
<v Speaker 8>we never see their face, and then we never see

1:01:55.840 --> 1:01:58.320
<v Speaker 8>them scared and that was really cool.

1:01:58.960 --> 1:02:02.400
<v Speaker 5>Okay, because of this, because you're here in a in

1:02:02.520 --> 1:02:06.280
<v Speaker 5>an unbelievably shocking twist as a lover of the finalege.

1:02:06.120 --> 1:02:11.840
<v Speaker 8>And you kind of Darth Vader at the end, take off,

1:02:12.240 --> 1:02:12.920
<v Speaker 8>take off, my.

1:02:15.320 --> 1:02:17.919
<v Speaker 2>Look upon you this time?

1:02:18.880 --> 1:02:20.320
<v Speaker 7>My own us?

1:02:20.720 --> 1:02:23.160
<v Speaker 8>And two do you still have them?

1:02:23.880 --> 1:02:28.600
<v Speaker 5>Annequin? Let's talk because none of us touched on this.

1:02:28.800 --> 1:02:33.920
<v Speaker 5>So let's end on a celebratory note. How I'm not

1:02:34.000 --> 1:02:37.400
<v Speaker 5>going to actually do a leading question? Do you enjoy

1:02:37.720 --> 1:02:42.360
<v Speaker 5>Dead Dra's bye where we left? Because I think that

1:02:42.560 --> 1:02:44.560
<v Speaker 5>was one of the most satisfying parts of the show

1:02:44.840 --> 1:02:45.120
<v Speaker 5>for me.

1:02:46.480 --> 1:02:51.640
<v Speaker 8>I loved it so much. I couldn't think of a

1:02:51.720 --> 1:02:54.920
<v Speaker 8>better way. Yeah, I couldn't think of a better way

1:02:54.960 --> 1:02:57.400
<v Speaker 8>for her story to end with her. Like in that

1:02:57.560 --> 1:03:01.000
<v Speaker 8>same my wife came home as I was finishishing the

1:03:01.200 --> 1:03:05.120
<v Speaker 8>final episode, and so like I just burst out laughing

1:03:05.240 --> 1:03:07.920
<v Speaker 8>at that moment. She didn't has not watched any of it,

1:03:08.000 --> 1:03:09.280
<v Speaker 8>so I had to explain some of it to her.

1:03:09.560 --> 1:03:11.360
<v Speaker 8>Then we went back and we watched all of the

1:03:11.440 --> 1:03:14.200
<v Speaker 8>K two S scenes, so you see all of that.

1:03:15.080 --> 1:03:16.680
<v Speaker 8>But yeah, I loved it. I thought that was like

1:03:17.240 --> 1:03:19.720
<v Speaker 8>such an incredible way, and she does an incredible job

1:03:20.040 --> 1:03:23.320
<v Speaker 8>acting there where you there's no words, nothing, she just

1:03:23.400 --> 1:03:26.000
<v Speaker 8>puts her hands in her head, in her hands, in

1:03:26.120 --> 1:03:30.800
<v Speaker 8>complete defeat. And that, I I what an incredible callback

1:03:30.920 --> 1:03:34.240
<v Speaker 8>to this place that I think the best episodes of

1:03:34.280 --> 1:03:37.800
<v Speaker 8>season one agree and to have her there and it's like,

1:03:38.760 --> 1:03:41.520
<v Speaker 8>you know, a lot of people didn't get things right,

1:03:41.800 --> 1:03:46.280
<v Speaker 8>like you know, the family of anyone who's involved in

1:03:46.360 --> 1:03:48.680
<v Speaker 8>this probably died. And it is also, like you said,

1:03:48.760 --> 1:03:51.520
<v Speaker 8>locked up in that same prison. But for her to

1:03:51.600 --> 1:03:56.240
<v Speaker 8>be there, I love that. Yeah. Do you think she

1:03:56.360 --> 1:03:58.160
<v Speaker 8>gets out? Do you think she gets out.

1:04:00.080 --> 1:04:02.600
<v Speaker 7>Five years the last time they'll ever let this happen?

1:04:02.960 --> 1:04:05.640
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, And we get a second death Star and we know.

1:04:05.720 --> 1:04:07.960
<v Speaker 7>This is where they're built. No way she's dying in here,

1:04:08.040 --> 1:04:11.440
<v Speaker 7>She's getting moved floor to floor uto eternity.

1:04:11.560 --> 1:04:14.440
<v Speaker 1>I also know I will say there's a chance maybe

1:04:14.560 --> 1:04:17.360
<v Speaker 1>in the New Republic era, that she gets that amnesty

1:04:17.400 --> 1:04:17.920
<v Speaker 1>and gets to go.

1:04:17.960 --> 1:04:20.000
<v Speaker 2>To one of these Yeah, because she wants.

1:04:20.000 --> 1:04:24.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, like castaway facilities where you're reintegrated into But

1:04:25.040 --> 1:04:26.600
<v Speaker 1>I think she never come I think.

1:04:26.600 --> 1:04:29.320
<v Speaker 5>The thing that is so powerful about that ending, and

1:04:29.480 --> 1:04:33.840
<v Speaker 5>that I think is a really brilliant kind of lesson

1:04:33.920 --> 1:04:39.400
<v Speaker 5>and statement is Dedra's dream was to be known for

1:04:39.680 --> 1:04:42.880
<v Speaker 5>what she did and her part in the rebellion, and

1:04:43.440 --> 1:04:46.200
<v Speaker 5>I mean her part in the empire and crushing the rebellion.

1:04:46.680 --> 1:04:50.080
<v Speaker 5>And I think that we know from what we saw

1:04:50.160 --> 1:04:53.520
<v Speaker 5>in Knakina before, and we know from the way that

1:04:53.600 --> 1:04:56.240
<v Speaker 5>prisons work in the real world. Not that this show

1:04:56.280 --> 1:05:01.280
<v Speaker 5>has any reflections of real life, obviously, let's not. Let's

1:05:01.280 --> 1:05:03.680
<v Speaker 5>not like draw any lines. I'm not come back. But

1:05:03.920 --> 1:05:07.760
<v Speaker 5>like she is forgotten. That's the real truth. She will

1:05:07.840 --> 1:05:10.440
<v Speaker 5>never get the credit. No one is thinking of her,

1:05:10.960 --> 1:05:14.160
<v Speaker 5>and she knows because she has sent many many people

1:05:14.240 --> 1:05:18.440
<v Speaker 5>to those prisons, that she is now forgotten. She is irrelevant.

1:05:18.640 --> 1:05:22.400
<v Speaker 5>And what led her there was a quest and an

1:05:22.480 --> 1:05:27.120
<v Speaker 5>obsession with basically punishing people and they end up there

1:05:27.240 --> 1:05:28.960
<v Speaker 5>is so fitting.

1:05:29.440 --> 1:05:32.360
<v Speaker 7>It's perfect ending for this character who we followed through

1:05:32.440 --> 1:05:35.600
<v Speaker 7>a lot of ups and downs. I think Denise Gout

1:05:35.760 --> 1:05:38.280
<v Speaker 7>should walk away with the statue, like I agree anybody

1:05:38.400 --> 1:05:42.080
<v Speaker 7>gets it, like obviously like what Scar's guard did Luvin

1:05:42.240 --> 1:05:48.120
<v Speaker 7>is phenomenal. Yes, but there's such a like, my god,

1:05:48.400 --> 1:05:52.400
<v Speaker 7>the her coming in for her victory laugh is hysterical,

1:05:52.520 --> 1:05:55.480
<v Speaker 7>like the way she's able to play both the comedy

1:05:55.600 --> 1:05:58.680
<v Speaker 7>of the scene because we understand Luthn is planned for

1:05:58.800 --> 1:06:00.640
<v Speaker 7>this and so there's no way out for her, like

1:06:00.760 --> 1:06:04.240
<v Speaker 7>she's not gonna get what she wants. The doubled into

1:06:04.320 --> 1:06:07.160
<v Speaker 7>triple on Hondras and the writing there. I just think

1:06:07.200 --> 1:06:11.560
<v Speaker 7>that when we get Yeah, it's really beautiful writing, it

1:06:11.640 --> 1:06:13.960
<v Speaker 7>picks up that night is like we don't know, it's authentic,

1:06:14.200 --> 1:06:20.480
<v Speaker 7>like find out I don't know, Yeah to her like

1:06:20.560 --> 1:06:22.600
<v Speaker 7>literally her fall to her feet, to the scene that

1:06:22.720 --> 1:06:27.280
<v Speaker 7>we get with Krenick, which I mean Ben Meddleston on

1:06:27.360 --> 1:06:30.680
<v Speaker 7>a kick. But I just think like that ending for her,

1:06:31.080 --> 1:06:33.880
<v Speaker 7>not only is it fitting, but like in the human

1:06:34.000 --> 1:06:36.640
<v Speaker 7>side of Dedre that we got to see, like there's

1:06:36.680 --> 1:06:39.920
<v Speaker 7>such an element of like, yes, all she wants is

1:06:39.960 --> 1:06:42.280
<v Speaker 7>the glory and she's a bad person. She was really

1:06:42.360 --> 1:06:45.800
<v Speaker 7>excited to torture Luthan, like she was like Doney coreabout

1:06:45.920 --> 1:06:48.000
<v Speaker 7>She's like I've got time, okay for you.

1:06:48.160 --> 1:06:50.760
<v Speaker 2>I've been waiting in his belly.

1:06:52.760 --> 1:06:54.960
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, yes, near to death and then do it all

1:06:55.000 --> 1:06:57.120
<v Speaker 7>over again. This is what she's the part of her

1:06:57.200 --> 1:07:00.480
<v Speaker 7>job that she's most excited about. A despicable humor, which

1:07:00.560 --> 1:07:03.200
<v Speaker 7>also a person who never again had any kind of

1:07:03.320 --> 1:07:04.800
<v Speaker 7>sense of like love, like.

1:07:05.440 --> 1:07:08.440
<v Speaker 5>Well by the Empire, she was an orphan.

1:07:08.680 --> 1:07:11.960
<v Speaker 7>She's in a cult essentially, and how do you get

1:07:12.080 --> 1:07:15.240
<v Speaker 7>rewarded in this cult by being the most ruthless And

1:07:15.360 --> 1:07:18.040
<v Speaker 7>she's climbing the ladder. She's found a way. It's awful,

1:07:18.320 --> 1:07:20.000
<v Speaker 7>but it's true. And then for them to show, okase

1:07:20.080 --> 1:07:22.360
<v Speaker 7>like no matter what role you play, that you're gonna

1:07:22.440 --> 1:07:23.920
<v Speaker 7>die like I just love the way they set that

1:07:24.000 --> 1:07:24.440
<v Speaker 7>up with that.

1:07:25.120 --> 1:07:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Here's what's interesting to me about Dedra's character. As we

1:07:28.400 --> 1:07:29.960
<v Speaker 1>as we have said many times, this is a show

1:07:30.000 --> 1:07:31.520
<v Speaker 1>that has no connection.

1:07:31.280 --> 1:07:34.880
<v Speaker 2>To real life, but it's kind of the you know,

1:07:35.080 --> 1:07:35.880
<v Speaker 2>we've gone through.

1:07:35.760 --> 1:07:39.240
<v Speaker 1>An age and government of like technocrats, people with immense

1:07:40.200 --> 1:07:43.360
<v Speaker 1>intellect and ability to get into positions and just know

1:07:43.480 --> 1:07:46.160
<v Speaker 1>how stuff works, right, and we see the value in that.

1:07:48.400 --> 1:07:53.080
<v Speaker 1>I think Dedra would have thrived under the Republic or

1:07:53.160 --> 1:07:56.680
<v Speaker 1>the New Republic exact same role I think she would be.

1:07:57.080 --> 1:07:58.720
<v Speaker 1>I think people would be like, Wow, I'm just good

1:07:58.720 --> 1:08:02.440
<v Speaker 1>at her job. Im Burials like great, but it shows

1:08:02.520 --> 1:08:07.440
<v Speaker 1>you the danger of a technocrat with no ethics morals.

1:08:07.680 --> 1:08:11.160
<v Speaker 1>This is a person who was just like, I want

1:08:11.200 --> 1:08:14.160
<v Speaker 1>to be great at my job and I don't really

1:08:14.280 --> 1:08:19.400
<v Speaker 1>care of what the right or wrong about what we're doing.

1:08:19.520 --> 1:08:22.200
<v Speaker 1>And those people are dangerous as well, though in a

1:08:22.400 --> 1:08:25.840
<v Speaker 1>in a different context than truly bad actors, people who

1:08:25.880 --> 1:08:29.920
<v Speaker 1>were out there with truly malign uh intentions, which I

1:08:30.000 --> 1:08:33.519
<v Speaker 1>never thought Dejah really had true malign intentions. She was

1:08:33.640 --> 1:08:37.599
<v Speaker 1>just like, this is I'm following the law. I'm I'm

1:08:38.320 --> 1:08:40.320
<v Speaker 1>out here hunting down spies and I'm good at it.

1:08:40.520 --> 1:08:44.160
<v Speaker 8>I'm playing for the team. Yeah, I'm an MVP.

1:08:44.880 --> 1:08:49.760
<v Speaker 5>Will remember me well because yeah, need they need the

1:08:49.800 --> 1:08:50.320
<v Speaker 5>planet right?

1:08:50.360 --> 1:08:53.599
<v Speaker 1>And again, I think if she was working for the Republic,

1:08:53.680 --> 1:08:55.880
<v Speaker 1>people would be like, yeah, that's good, like we I

1:08:55.920 --> 1:08:58.080
<v Speaker 1>have no qualms about working with Dad, and I think

1:08:58.160 --> 1:09:00.840
<v Speaker 1>that what is so satisfying. In one of my darker

1:09:00.920 --> 1:09:05.439
<v Speaker 1>moments on the off MI in the X Ray Vision,

1:09:05.520 --> 1:09:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Zoom I once said to this gathering, not h but

1:09:09.080 --> 1:09:09.719
<v Speaker 1>everybody else.

1:09:10.000 --> 1:09:11.240
<v Speaker 8>You know what, I've.

1:09:11.120 --> 1:09:14.720
<v Speaker 1>Decided that I'm pro mass incarceration, but only for the

1:09:14.800 --> 1:09:19.120
<v Speaker 1>bad people, and that's how I feel about the final

1:09:19.200 --> 1:09:23.120
<v Speaker 1>outcome for death. It's terrible the place that she's been

1:09:23.160 --> 1:09:25.920
<v Speaker 1>thrown into, but I can't think of a better place.

1:09:27.240 --> 1:09:27.400
<v Speaker 8>Yea.

1:09:27.640 --> 1:09:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I have another should take We should dismantle that

1:09:31.840 --> 1:09:32.680
<v Speaker 1>entire structure, but.

1:09:32.680 --> 1:09:33.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad to just leave her.

1:09:34.120 --> 1:09:34.240
<v Speaker 4>Yea.

1:09:36.840 --> 1:09:39.040
<v Speaker 8>I have another real world connection that I want to

1:09:39.080 --> 1:09:42.200
<v Speaker 8>ask poses a question because in my head I was like,

1:09:42.320 --> 1:09:45.120
<v Speaker 8>could we do some spin off that's like an X

1:09:45.240 --> 1:09:47.599
<v Speaker 8>Force or I m F with like Claya and Vell

1:09:47.800 --> 1:09:49.880
<v Speaker 8>and Bix and like them doing all anything that the

1:09:49.920 --> 1:09:52.160
<v Speaker 8>Rebel Council cant to. But I came up with a

1:09:52.200 --> 1:09:54.639
<v Speaker 8>better way of posing it. Who would win one hundred

1:09:54.680 --> 1:09:58.519
<v Speaker 8>clayas or a rank RPS and we give Clay and

1:09:58.680 --> 1:10:01.880
<v Speaker 8>Claia gets to like outfit the room that they're fighting.

1:10:03.280 --> 1:10:04.360
<v Speaker 2>Are so overrated.

1:10:04.400 --> 1:10:10.360
<v Speaker 5>There is very I think one could be around.

1:10:13.000 --> 1:10:16.080
<v Speaker 1>And the muscles around the throat of the ring cord

1:10:16.160 --> 1:10:18.920
<v Speaker 1>clearly mers strong enough to protect the wind pipe.

1:10:18.920 --> 1:10:20.280
<v Speaker 2>And if you get to that wind.

1:10:20.120 --> 1:10:21.400
<v Speaker 7>Pipe, it's.

1:10:23.520 --> 1:10:26.479
<v Speaker 5>Most video games and even I have beaten irand Court

1:10:26.560 --> 1:10:29.000
<v Speaker 5>just throwing some bones to distract it before I get

1:10:29.000 --> 1:10:31.280
<v Speaker 5>my light sabers out like I think Clay I will

1:10:31.360 --> 1:10:35.320
<v Speaker 5>be fine. Yes, thank you, this is a joy.
