11
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,600

12
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,479

Speaker 3: on the screen, guys. That's one thing nobody could say

14
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 3: is that this show looks cheap. If you feel like

15
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 3: the Star Wars have not been up to a cinematic

16
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 3: visual experience, will change. Chink chi ching, kuchink chink. They're

17
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 3: spending those credits, baby, and thanks to Emmy contention. As

18
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 3: far as we know, we are recapping the first three episodes. Yes,

19
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 3: this season will drop in four three episode chunks and

20
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 3: we will be recapping them thus. Plus, this is just

21
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 3: a recap episode. As and Or such a big release

22
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 3: for us, we will be back for a deeper dive

23
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 3: on our thoughts Easter Eggs Jedi Council Opinions on Friday.

24
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: Okay.

25
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 2: The first episode of and Or season two opens four

26
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 2: years before Battle of Yavin.

27
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: We are at a.

28
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 2: Imperial test facility, a weapons test facility called sign Ar Cassie,

29
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 2: and and Or is there undercover. He is there to

30
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: apparently feel a experimental tie fighter with the help of

31
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 2: his spy network. There on the ground a woman named Nia,

32
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 2: and it goes. It goes very rockily. Yeah, and Or

33
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: crashing the ship into the side of the hangar. He

34
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 2: has to blast his way out. It's not a clean getaway,

35
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 2: but he does get away.

36
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 3: The money is money. It's like this secret corgious, unbelievable.

37
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 3: It's also really fun because so often in Star Wars

38
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 3: we see somebody get into a ship they've never flown

39
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 3: before and they can magically fly it because they're hand

40
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 3: solo and they're connected to the force or whatever you believe.

41
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 3: So it was great to see and Or crash this ship,

42
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 3: trash this ship, and every single moment of the ship

43
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 3: getting trashed is beautiful. I also think they did a

44
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 3: great job here. You notice that he is wearing imperial

45
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 3: uniform if you are so inclined to do so. But

46
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 3: when you see a walking with the stormtrooper helmet that

47
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 3: it is very shocking, and I think they did a

48
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 3: good job. I also think there's a great moment here

49
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 3: where Nia says, is it bad that I've had fun here?

50
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 3: And you realize that there are like human beings who

51
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 3: are all in this terrible world? I love?

52
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, my time with the Empire has been so fun.

53
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, she was like, fucking bad, Jason said, is bad? Bro?

54
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 3: That's how they get you.

55
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 2: Like they're saying you didn't have fun, but yeah, come on,

56
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 2: it's the Empire. Is it bad that I love the

57
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 2: uniforms and it's fun to fighters?

58
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 3: She's like, how's it going.

59
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: Elsewhere?

60
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 2: Bix wakes up from Nightmare B two, continuing to be

61
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 2: the very emotional Droid that we know him to be.

62
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: Emotional and loyal Droid from season one, is very concerned.

63
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 2: He wants to make sure that Cassian knows that she's

64
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 2: still having the bad dreams, and he's also very excited

65
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 2: because Cassie apparently will return to whatever this hideout of

66
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: the Spy Network is tomorrow. We go to Chandrilla, where

67
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 2: Mon Mathma is getting ready for the wedding of her

68
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 2: daughter lighta arranged marriage, the arranged marriage in the chandriline

69
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 2: fashion to Stecken, who is of course the son of

70
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 2: the warlord and oligarch Davoskolden, who helped them launder money

71
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 2: last season, because if you recall, Mon had an outstanding

72
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 2: like four hundred thousand credits that she needed to move

73
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden she couldn't move them

74
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 2: very easily, and so they needed to call in Davo

75
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 2: who has all these kind of underworld contacts, and he

76
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: was able to absorb that. But the cost of the

77
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 2: deal was you got to marry your daughter to my

78
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 2: son because you're from this like high class aristocratic family,

79
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 2: and it's it would be great for you, know, my.

80
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: Juice, if we were attacked, if we were attached to you.

81
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 3: I will say as well. This is a sequence that

82
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 3: blew my mind last season. The mod Moth miss stuff

83
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 3: I was here or there on I thought it was,

84
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 3: but this visually and costuming and production wise, I felt

85
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 3: like I was in the Prequels. Complimentary wedding dress looks

86
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 3: pure Amidala. The floating wedding dress, the color grading the

87
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 3: clothes that are worn here to showcase who is involved

88
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 3: in the religion and who is not, and then you

89
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 3: start to see some unexpected faces. Is unbelievable.

90
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 2: Like, I don't know how much natural light is used

91
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 2: in some of these shots on Chandrilla and all the

92
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 2: Monmotha stuff, but it looks so good.

93
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 3: It looks so good, just beautiful, just looks gorgeous.

94
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 2: You know what else is looking good? I found like

95
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 2: I was like, might citle up to mom at the

96
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 2: bar and be like, Yo.

97
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: What's up.

98
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 3: I'm saying, she's looking fantastic.

99
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: You look great.

100
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 2: I just want to tell you that thank you for

101
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 2: all that you've done. She's looks understanding.

102
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 3: That she's got the collar bones out, the little shoulders

103
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 3: are shouldering, and also as well, I gotta say, I

104
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 3: think the movie I think I think the creatives behind

105
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 3: this season realize, oh, we have to make her an

106
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 3: attractive prospect because that's going to play into where her

107
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 3: storyline is going, especially with her shithead husband who I hate.

108
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: Mathma is Mathma.

109
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 2: Ing so anyway, But the whole there's various members of

Speaker 2: the of the Resistance Network is here Vella is there undercover.

111
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: Luthen is there.

112
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 2: He he's basically the wedding planner.

113
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 3: Wedding showed up like looking so put together. I was thinking, bro,

114
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 3: I remember your speech. How are you doing this? This

115
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 3: is creeping me out and I love it.

116
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 4: So Luthen is there.

117
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 2: He has provided a lot of the specialty art, it seems,

118
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 2: for this event. And of and it seems like Davo,

119
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 2: s Goolden and Luthen have something cooking. They're constantly like

120
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 2: you know, conspiring and talking and stuff. And then Luthen

121
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 2: learns that the sign our mission has gone as planned,

122
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 2: and then and Or has gotten away with the ship.

123
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 4: Okay, great.

124
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: We got to mina Raw, which is I'm calling Big Wheat.

Speaker 1: And it's an agricultural planet.

159
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 2: also a major part of gas is there hilarious not

160
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 2: even a master. After the warnings, we get a presentation

161
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 2: about the Gorman Valley, which is this galactically renowned producer

162
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 2: of high quality textiles made from spider silk. And the

163
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 2: Empire is really, really really interested in the Gorman, the

164
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 2: Gorman Valley. They want this area, and we're about to

165
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 2: find out why. Yeah, Kranik tells them that in addition

166
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 2: to the uh spidery silk created there, there's also huge

167
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 2: deposits of calkite under the valley that is necessary for

168
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 2: the lens coating of the Death Star. That they have

169
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 2: heard of it, and and if the Empire can't find

170
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 2: some other synthetic or natural source somewhere else in the galaxy,

171
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 2: well Gorman's got to be taken in by hand, and

172
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 2: very very quickly and very very quietly, with a good reason.

173
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 2: We go back to Cassian, the proto scum or like

174
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 2: they're arguing it's like, is he an imperial?

175
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 4: Is he not an Imperial the tie fighter there.

176
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 2: They haven't eaten in two days, we discover and this

177
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 2: goes on and on, like.

178
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 3: How did they not bring snacks? Like, guys, come on,

179
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 3: and they've also they've already had a split in the

180
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 3: group because somebody is missing. Now. I will say what

181
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 3: I love about these sequences is despite the fact that

182
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 3: they clearly are just kind of to keep and Or

183
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 3: on the side for a little bit. I will say

184
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 3: I thought that the way that you see and Or

185
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 3: immediately start scheming, and Cassian is suddenly like, yeah, I

186
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 3: know Maya the person she was my contact, Like I'm

187
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 3: he's so good at playing the game. He has learnt

188
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 3: his lessons from Lutheran and he is not afraid to lie,

189
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 3: to survive, to do whatever he has to to get

190
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 3: the mission done.

191
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 2: That part when he talks about Maya, I actually found

192
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 2: him to be sincere in that moment. I thought he

193
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 2: was like, hey, wait a second, I know your group.

194
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 2: I'm supplyed, like I'm part of another resistance cell that's

195
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 2: been supplying your group, Like what do you guys, we're

196
00:11:58,800 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 2: on the same side, Like what's going on?

197
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 3: I couldn't tell. I don't know because I'm like she's

198
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 3: obviously not Porko, who, by the way, is that Porkins, Like,

199
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 3: I don't know as a rebel, but like, yeah, I

200
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 3: also by the end of it was like, oh, this

201
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 3: does make sense. Maybe this is the truth. But I

202
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 3: think with Cassie and you can never know. And and

203
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 3: I think that that Diego is doing such a good

204
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 3: job of bringing that to life.

205
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: Here Diego and his tasteful new cheek fillers.

206
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 2: I'll say, let's just talk about it. I think his

207
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 2: cheeks look really smooth and different now.

208
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 3: They look very beautiful, like he's in the most expensive

209
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 3: Star Wars show of all time.

210
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: Truly.

211
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 2: I'll also say that this sequence of scenes with Cassian

212
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 2: and these kind of proto rebels, the rebels come. I

213
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 2: found it to be a really trenchet commentary on.

214
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: Left wing infighting.

215
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 2: The hist like a thing that seems to be deevil

216
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 2: progressive and left wing politics always as they tempt to

217
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 2: struggle against uh, you know, capitalists and or fascist forces.

218
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 2: There's a reason why uh you know, uh left wing

219
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 2: movers and shakers can never seem to get it together

220
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 2: to fight against fascism. It's because they're always fighting themselves

221
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 2: and that's like a sadly true thing that's happening right now.

222
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 3: Even Yeah, it's a great microcosm to here where also

223
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 3: like this, they're fighting this battle within themselves that is

224
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 3: not leading them anywhere and is just going to lead

225
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 3: to them literally like eating each other and starving, while

226
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 3: Krenick is planning essentially like galactic fracking and how to

227
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 3: destroy an entire indigenous population. So it's like, guys, there's

228
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 3: bigger things, just like team up and go in assassinate credits.

229
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: That is what.

230
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 2: Well, first we got to figure out who is more rebel,

231
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 2: like who's the most people, who's the most You're exactly

232
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 2: all Rightkrenick basically tells the group, Okay, here's what we're

233
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 2: looking at. If we have to mine this shit in

234
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 2: the Gorman Valley, it will cause the massive ecological collapse

235
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 2: and like geological collapse of this entire region, including the

236
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 2: destruction of nine notable cities in the region. And if

237
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 2: we're gonna do that, we have to be careful because

238
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 2: the Gormans have juice in the Senate and the rest

239
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 2: of the planets are gonna get scared that the Empire

240
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 2: is like out to get everybody and so we have

241
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 2: to just find a good reason to go in there

242
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 2: and do this to make it make sense. So he

243
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 2: introduces d Shamba and NICUs Osar from the Ministry of Enlightenment.

244
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 2: These are the propaganda guys, and they start throwing around.

245
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 3: These opra or how like effectively off all this immediately becomes.

246
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so then they start throwing around ideas about how,

247
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 2: you know, we can make a case, how the Empire

248
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 2: can make a case for annex in Greenland I mean,

249
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 2: sorry Gorman Gorman Valley. And the idea is like, you know,

250
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 2: we can basically we can turn public.

251
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 4: Opinion against the Gormans.

252
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 2: They're annoying and they're always like they're not helping out

253
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 2: with the.

254
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 3: Fire close they're too close to the spiders that are

255
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 3: really scary. So it doesn't make that that make them monsters.

256
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 2: And then we also learn that in you know, looking

257
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 2: ahead to this eventuality, that they're going to try to

258
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 2: annex Gore, annex the Gores, they've already started pre positioning

259
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 2: like weapons in Palmo, the Gore capital. Krenick is like, Deirdre,

260
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 2: you've been quiet this entire meeting.

261
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 3: What do you got. This is a great idea. I

262
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 3: love this idea, and.

263
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 2: She's like, I don't know, really really yeah, she's very

264
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 2: cagey and here's where to your point. I can't tell

265
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 2: if she's like, I don't like this mission, I think

266
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 2: it's terrible ethically, morally, egues, or if she's just like

267
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 2: I want to be back up my old job, like

268
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 2: I think this job sucks. I think it's more. I

269
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 2: honestly think it's more that, like I want.

270
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 3: To go on best with the access with finding these.

271
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 4: She still wants to find access.

272
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 2: Yes, so she's you know, critic eventually pushes her and

273
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 2: she's like, well, what you need is a false flag operation,

274
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 2: you need fake rebels.

275
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: She doesn't go into it, but I think what she's.

276
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 2: Suggesting, yes, is like a fake terrorist attack. And then

277
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 2: we go in back on Mina. Raw B is still

278
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 2: like Cassie and Cassie and when Cassie's coming back, where

279
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 2: is he's coming back? And we discover also that the

280
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 2: Imperials are on planet because they're doing an audit whatever

281
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 2: that means. It's how much how much wheat is big

282
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 2: we giving us, Like really they just.

283
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 3: Want to go and act up and harass people on.

284
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 2: Absolutely true we go back to the wedding. It's like

285
00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 2: the night before the wedding, it seems like folks are

286
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 2: so socializing. Vel questions. Cleia, who you know, remembers the

287
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 2: clerk at Luthen's shop who is also in the network,

288
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 2: important person in the network, and she's like, what the

289
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,239
Speaker 2: fuck are you doing here? Like and I get it.

290
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 2: Vella is worried, like why are all these spies in

291
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 2: one place? There's way too many of us here, like

292
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 2: that is weird. But she's like, well, our shop provided

293
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 2: the art, and Luthen is basically the wedding planner, Like

294
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 2: I gotta be here, Like what are you talking about?

295
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 1: She's like, I'm handam.

296
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, Mon goes to smooth things over the light of

297
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 2: after a fight with the groom to be and YadA, YadA, YadA,

298
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 2: and we go back.

299
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 4: We we end with like a final.

300
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 2: Visit with our rebels who are having a They're now

301
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 2: shooting each other because they're a fucking unseerious group of

302
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,479
Speaker 2: hot heads who legitimately can't get it together and are

303
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 2: more interested in shooting each other than shooting at the Empire.

304
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think like aboo, super producer Boo made

305
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 3: a great point where it's like this also to within

306
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 3: the world of Star Wars, the disper ultra secret of

307
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 3: nature of the rebellion and how it is actively working

308
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 3: against itself by their not being chains of communication like they.

309
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 4: Just isn't thought like.

310
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 3: A secret handshake, but it's something to prove that they

311
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 3: are involved together.

312
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 2: Like I think it's a good point aboo. But let

313
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 2: me say this first of all, what one thing I

314
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 2: love about and Or is that there are no It

315
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 2: does not reflect the real world. It's completely just totally effecially.

316
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 2: The one thing I've been thinking about is listen, you've

317
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 2: got the Empire is extremely powerful. They control every space

318
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 2: of communication, society, culture, and economics. There is no way

319
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 2: to communicate openly about resisting them, period.

320
00:18:58,560 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: You can't.

321
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 2: It's not safe. You can't actually do it in that reality.

322
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:11,479
Speaker 2: How do you organize? Can't You can be selective in

323
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 2: terms of the people who matriculate up into the higher

324
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 2: levels of the resistance, where and Or and Luthen and

325
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 2: the rest circulate because you're but in terms of who

326
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:29,239
Speaker 2: you are recruiting to take on this impossible goal of

327
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 2: fighting the Empire, I think it makes rational sense. It

328
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 2: doesn't make any it's not effective, but it would make

329
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 2: sense that the people that you're going to get coming

330
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 2: to your group are going to have a lot more

331
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 2: zeal than ability. And they're also not the people that

332
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 2: you know you can trust at this particular stage. They're

333
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 2: the people who want to shoot. You need those people.

334
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 2: Are they the smart enough people who have the nerve

335
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 2: to like go undercover and do all the things that

336
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 2: Luthen and and Or and the rest do. Clearly not

337
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 2: they haven't. They don't have that kind of experience. So

338
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 2: I take the point that, like, couldn't you communicate with them,

339
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 2: but like, if you tell them what's going on at

340
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 2: the top, your whole fucking operation is blown as soon

341
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 2: as one of these fuckers gets captured.

342
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 3: I will say this is even proven in this episode

343
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 3: and Andal points out where he explains, like the guy

344
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,719
Speaker 3: explains who they are and that Maya is missing and everything,

345
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 3: and then they're like, well, tell us what you're working on,

346
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 3: and Ando's like no, and he's like he's like, well,

347
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 3: you shouldn't.

348
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 2: Have done that, Like sorry, you guys are shooting at

349
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 2: each other and you were like tell me your entire operator.

350
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 2: Get the fuck out of let's take a break and

351
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 2: go to episode two.

352
00:20:47,400 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we're back after the shootout.

353
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 2: One fact, now the factions have completely split, and so

354
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 2: you have the faction that is over by the Advanced

355
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 2: Tie Fighter, the ship faction, and you have the shot

356
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 2: the faction that has Cassian prisoner, the Cassian faction. Neither

357
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 2: of them have food or water and they are all

358
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 2: a fucking joke. On the way to work back on Coursot,

Speaker 1: And it's not the genocide. It's not that.

362
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 2: It's that I want to be back on Axis hunt duty.

Speaker 2: We meet some other members of Bix's cell. We meet Will,

429
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 2: who has been in a little bit of a romance

430
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 2: with a local farms farmer named Beila. They are out

431
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 2: in the wheat of big wheat canoodling when the Imperials

432
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 2: roll up to like a shop, a farmstead shop. Brosso

433
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 2: bicks they are there as well. They start shitting bricks.

434
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:46,679
Speaker 2: They're the lieutenant. The Imperial lieutenant comes over to Bix

435
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 2: and he's doing the whole Colonel Hans Landa in Ingloria's

436
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 2: Bastard's thing, where he's very clearly like, oh, Bix, you're attractive.

437
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw my weight around.

438
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 2: Brosso comes up and keeps it from getting weird, but

439
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 2: it's very very clear this guy is going to be

440
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 2: a big fucking problem.

441
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 3: Yea. He's like, oh, like, let's go to this little

442
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 3: space that I know. And she's like, I'm married and

443
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 3: he's like, okay, where is he? And he's a very

444
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:18,120
Speaker 3: convenient planet mechanic I know. So what he really means is, well,

445
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 3: he's not here so I can do He showed off.

446
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 2: At the wedding, Ta tells Mon that, hey, I'm glad

447
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 2: that everything with the money laundering worked out.

448
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 1: Last year.

449
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 2: Because Tay was across that he was helping out. He

450
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 2: was he was the unwitting cutout who was setting up

451
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 2: this foundation, charitable foundation that was supposed to be the

452
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 2: you know, basically the money laundering engine for the funds

453
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 2: that we're going to be going to resistance fighters.

454
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: It didn't quite work and they had to.

455
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 2: Paul and Davo, and now Tay is like, well that

456
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 2: foundation is up and running and the money is accounted for.

457
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 2: But now I'm in charge of this weird foundation and

458
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 2: I feel very vulnerable and uh, you know, I just

459
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 2: feel like scared. And so Mon is getting anxious at

460
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,719
Speaker 2: this because the last thing she needs is someone who

461
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 2: doesn't really know what she's up to but has sensitive

462
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:30,360
Speaker 2: information about her starting to freak out. What he does

463
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 2: drop in this conversation the word rebellion and suggesting kind

464
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 2: of I know what you're up to, and also says,

465
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 2: by the way, I also.

466
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: Need money, Like I'm hard on concern.

467
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 3: We have established my hatred for parent, but I have

468
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 3: to say, look, I'm not going to give him. I

469
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 3: hate to give a man credit, but in this case,

470
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 3: he was correct. This is exactly the worst kind of

471
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 3: situation to be And you trusted an old boyfriend because

472
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 3: you had a little crush and you know too much,

473
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 3: and now in a situation where he's showing up and

474
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 3: he's like, hey, so I'm broke and you're running the

475
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 3: rebellion wink wink? Is this yeah?

476
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: I hate?

477
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 4: I hate if anybody ever found out about that, like

478
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 4: that would.

479
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 1: Be really terrible.

480
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 3: I feel like Mama was like, I'm like, show probably

481
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 3: just poisoned you.

482
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: She's a hard core she.

483
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 2: We're getting there and it's a good let's okay back

484
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 2: on big Wheat. Bix, Brasso and the rest are like, Okay,

485
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 2: we gotta get out of here, Like, let's figure out

486
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 2: how we get out of him. That before the imperials

487
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 2: come and they decide, Okay, we're gonna move to somewhere

488
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 2: where the heat is not quite on.

489
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: But where will that be.

490
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 2: Clay is back at the shot at Luthen's shop to

491
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 2: check the secret messages with the secret Message machine. Meanwhile,

492
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 2: Mon tells Luthen back at the wedding that hey, I

493
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 2: think we got a problem with Tay. He's freaking out.

494
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 2: He's talking crazy shit. He said rebellion. He seems to

495
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 2: know what we're up to, and he's saying we need money,

496
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 2: and Luthen is like, well, looks like we're gonna.

497
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 4: Have to handle him.

498
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 2: Wink wink Winkna's like this is a great exchange because

499
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,719
Speaker 2: Mon says, I don't know what you mean, and then

500
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 2: Luthen is like, hey, I forget exactly what he says,

501
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 2: but he's like how he says, like, oh, how nice

502
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 2: for you.

503
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: In other words, like you.

504
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 2: Know exactly what I mean, but you're pretending that it's

505
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 2: my job to take care of this fucking guy. No,

506
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 2: that's your ex boyfriend that we may have to kill

507
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 2: and you would have to.

508
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 1: Do it, dude.

509
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 3: Mona is also this is a recurring issue with her

510
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 3: thematically throughout the first season, and this season where she

511
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 3: wants to get her hands dirty, but she doesn't. She

512
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 3: refuses to do the work that actually has to be done,

513
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 3: and that she there is a balance to be played

514
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 3: here as her role in the society and everything. But

515
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 3: this I think is a great interaction and I am

516
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 3: on Luke, I love it well. I think until this

517
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 3: man and you know.

518
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 2: It speaks to the it humanizes this situation.

519
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 1: You know.

520
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 2: One of the things I thought while watching this show

521
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 2: season two is I think that this is the best

522
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 2: from a technical standpoint, I think this is the best

523
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 2: world building we've seen in Star Wars. Oh in terms

524
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 2: of the societies, the cultures, the day to day living

525
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 2: in this world, Like we really get it. And with

526
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 2: mon Mon is an aristocrat, she hates what's going on.

527
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 2: She's taken a huge, huge step, made a big decision,

528
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 2: put herself on the line to try and help the

529
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 2: rebellion in any way that she can with the levers

530
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 2: that she has available to her. But it has not

531
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 2: she'sn't gotten to that point yet.

532
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: Where they're like, you have to kill someone, Like that's

533
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: very different.

534
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 2: If I'm a bureaucrat working in the empire and I'm

535
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 2: leaking you know, Oh my god, this is terrible. I

536
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 2: just found out about Gore. I'm gonna leak this to

537
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 2: the resistance self. Okay, that's one thing. But if they're

538
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 2: then like, hey.

539
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 3: The wrong past, that's you kill that guy now, and you.

540
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 2: Kill that's a huge I don't even think that's like

541
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 2: I mean Abu saying idealistic versus pragmatism. I think that's

542
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 2: true in a material sense, but I don't. But I

543
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 2: think it ignores like the reality of how difficult what

544
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 2: they're doing is and what they're asking me.

545
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, she's not a killer.

546
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 3: I would also say that is one of the biggest

547
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 3: achievements of and Or season one and season two, which

548
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 3: is it's to really have a rebellion. It is not. Oh,

549
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 3: I'm Luke Skywalker and I'm picked as the chosen one,

550
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 3: and I have to fight and I can immediately do it,

551
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 3: and I get trained in one day and I kill

552
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 3: the bad guys and I blow up the Death Star.

553
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 3: That's not the reality. And ever since Roguron, Tony Gilroy

554
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 3: has been saying, no, there're so many millions of people,

555
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 3: thousands of people who are affected every single day by

556
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 3: these choices we're making, and who have had to die.

557
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 3: You know, many Bothans had to die to get this information. Yeah,

558
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 3: not just the bothains guys Like and I love that

559
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 3: that's what Andor is doing. And the truth is, like,

560
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 3: this is a fucking hard watch right now, but it's

561
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 3: also a very important watch.

562
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 2: It is a shocking ask forro Mon from Luthen, but

563
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 2: it's also uh and I really empathize with her position

564
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 2: because I think to get to that point, she's already

565
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 2: had to make such a huge decision and now to

566
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 2: be told, listen, we may have to kill someone.

567
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: And it's not just like anyone. It is her childhood friend, Like.

568
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I mean, like this boyfriend who

569
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 3: she trusted in season with this information. Also, I will

570
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 3: say I think something that really struck me an episode

571
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 3: one that plays a part in this ongoing conversation about

572
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 3: Mon's role is there is a moment when she's talking

573
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 3: to Late and I love how the cinematography goes from

574
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 3: this bright, beautiful wedding ceremony to this kind of darkened

575
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 3: chamber where they're talking and she looks at her and

576
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 3: she says, I'm so sorry, and Leada looks at her

577
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 3: and understands that what she's actually sorry for is that

578
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 3: she sold her child into an arranged marriage.

579
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and she had to do it for.

580
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 3: This reason that Leda doesn't know. And while Leada was

581
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 3: interested in this marriage, she's now kind of realizing like, well,

582
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 3: this guy doesn't actually love me or know how to

583
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 3: be a boyfriend, let alone a partner. He's just a kid,

584
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 3: you know. And I think that that is what Mon's

585
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,719
Speaker 3: true sacrifice has been, is kind of like how far

586
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 3: will she go and what parts of her life will

587
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 3: she sacrifice? And I guess they're probably gonna have us

588
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 3: ask is this a line that she would cross? I

589
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 3: think she would. If it was a non horrific death

590
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 3: where somebody was like, here is a poison, you can

591
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 3: kill him, I think she would probably do it and

592
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 3: shed a tear. I don't think she's gonna shoot him

593
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 3: in the head. I don't think that's a way of being.

594
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 3: But I think this is going to be a big

595
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 3: moral conundrum going into episode three.

596
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 2: Back at the Scum, the rebels all decide to have

597
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 2: a truce. They drop their guns, and they basically do

598
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 2: row Schambeau to see who will run the group from

599
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 2: now on.

600
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: That's how this is going to do with this. This

601
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: is what a joke? These they're a joke.

602
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, and Or, who has been giving them big tips

603
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 2: throughout this struggle, has been like, hey, somebody set up

604
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 2: a perimeter. It's raining, somebody collect rain water. You guys

605
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 2: haven't eaten or drink for two days, and now you're

606
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 2: nobody's collecting, Like, what are we doing? He takes the

607
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:47,479
Speaker 2: opportunity to sneak away. A very scary monster comes out

608
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 2: and causes chaos, and in the chaos he shoots one

609
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 2: of the rebels, gets on the advanced tie fighter and

610
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 2: he flies away and we see in the in the

611
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 2: in the wide as he screams up into space that

612
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 2: he was on Yavin.

613
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 1: Just hilarious.

614
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 3: He was having his own mini Battle of Yavon, many

615
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 3: years before it would happen.

616
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:29,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's take a quick break. Wee right back, and

617
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 2: we're back episode three. So and Or is up in space.

618
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 2: The tie fighter has like crapped out. He has the

619
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 2: hot wire and he can barely fly this thing. And

620
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 2: it's a it's a problem. Back on mina big wheat,

621
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 2: the farmers are at like a big stardoo valley farm banquet.

622
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 3: It does look like that doing the stard Valley challenge

623
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 3: where you have to.

624
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got the most com Yeah.

625
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 2: Brasso's contact arrives with news that the Imperials are getting

626
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 2: really really close. Cassian has not been heard from, and

627
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 2: he gives them like passes to go to another region

628
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 2: of big wheat. But if they're gonna use them, they

629
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 2: have to use him tonight. It's only good for today.

630
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 2: And you can tell that this guy is fucking desperate.

631
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 2: We go to the Weddinglida looks beautiful. Mathma tells her listen, like,

632
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 2: if you don't want to do this, you don't to

633
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 2: marry this guy, we can like delay it, we can

634
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,320
Speaker 2: make it, we can make an excuse.

635
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,439
Speaker 3: And she's trying, she's trying to be fine.

636
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 2: And yeah, and and it's an active bravery. It's not

637
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 2: an active cowardice to do that. And Lida is like, mom,

638
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:47,800
Speaker 2: are you freaking drunk?

639
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 3: Like what is up with She's like, have you seen

640
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:53,359
Speaker 3: this fucking dress, Princess Abadala, and like this is looking

641
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 3: good for me. I'm loving this.

642
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 1: Uh. Cleya. It gets in.

643
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 2: Contact with and Or and he tells her that the

644
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,439
Speaker 2: whole operation is upside down. He's in the wrong ship.

645
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 2: The pilot of the ship is that he was supposed

646
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:10,879
Speaker 2: to give the ship to his dead He can't fly

647
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:15,439
Speaker 2: the ship, and I want to go back to Big

648
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 2: Wheat to be with my team to figure out what's next. Well,

649
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 2: Clay's like, well, there's a problem with Big Wheat. We

650
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 2: don't have contact with Big Wheat right now. There is

651
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 2: a communication blockade there and just seems like there's a

652
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 2: lot of extra company, if you know what I mean,

653
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 2: over there in Big Wheat. And then immediately and Or

654
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 2: hangs up and he just fucking goes. He's like, uh,

655
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 2: bags is that I'm not going find a Joel is

656
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 2: pointing out that Mon is fucked if Leeda takes that

657
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 2: offer because the financial deal hinges on that. Well, the

658
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,839
Speaker 2: financial deal is done, the money has already been smoothed over.

659
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 2: So yes, I think Mon is fucked. But in terms

660
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 2: of the money, the money laundering is finished. And I

661
00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 2: think what she would then have to do some damage control.

662
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 2: But she could always spin it as like my daughter

663
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 2: is freaking.

664
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 3: She could delay it like she could spin it. They

665
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 3: had an argument, but I think as well, I think

666
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 3: that is a great point that Joel brings up because

667
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 3: I do think that is a moment of mode putting

668
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 3: being a mom and her daughter before being a rebel.

669
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 3: Now where would that leave the rebellion? Like, does that

670
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 3: show that her she has not fully taken that step.

671
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 3: I think it's very interesting, but I was wishing that

672
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,879
Speaker 3: Lida would not take the weird arranged religious call.

673
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 2: Into it, which she does, but she's also a yeah,

674
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 2: that's true. Differently there on Chindrilla anyway, Deirdre is having

675
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:51,360
Speaker 2: is with Cyril and they're getting ready for dinner with mom.

676
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: Oh oh h.

677
00:38:55,320 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 2: It goes as you would expect, knowing Edie from last season,

678
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:05,720
Speaker 2: and Deirdre says that she grew up in an orphanage.

679
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 2: My family are criminals, and oh, by the way, stop

680
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 2: giving your son shit.

681
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 1: Stay out of our business. I promise you.

682
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,399
Speaker 2: He will call you once a week. But you need

683
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 2: to stop with the all the fucking nagging and all

684
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 2: the mom stuff that you do, because it's like suffocating.

685
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: It's not good for him. Okay, Wild was.

686
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 3: Not expecting that, but Deirdra I think that the born

687
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 3: in and raised in an orphanage where her family because

688
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 3: her family was criminals. It's still saying she could be

689
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,800
Speaker 3: deep undercover for the Rebellion. I'm just saying like, I

690
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:45,959
Speaker 3: don't know what she's got going on, but she's still

691
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 3: enigmatic to me. And yeah, the mom dinner sequence did

692
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 3: not expect it. I feel like Tony's pulling out some

693
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 3: unexpected intimate moments in this season that I did not

694
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,399
Speaker 3: think we'd get to see. Edie the draw a back

695
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 3: door for the Ages.

696
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 2: I think one of the things that again makes this

697
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 2: show so good is that it kind of subverts the

698
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 2: traditional like bad guy a good guy duality that we've

699
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,399
Speaker 2: seen in Star Wars, where you have the good guy

700
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 2: and then you have the bad guy, but the bad

701
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 2: guy will be redeemed and become the good guy. It

702
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:25,800
Speaker 2: feels like you want to think that with Deirdre. But

703
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 2: I truly think that any objection she has to the

704
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 2: Gore Conspiracy is truly just because she's doesn't like the job.

705
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 2: She wants to be back doing her other job that she.

706
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 4: Was good, that she was good at, and she feels

707
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:42,280
Speaker 4: like she's.

708
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 2: Being set up to fail with this Gore Conspiracy. She

709
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 2: loves being an imperial stooge. She's good at it, but

710
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,240
Speaker 2: she wants to be good at it in her terms,

711
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 2: and it's interesting to look.

712
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 1: At that and be like, God, is she you know,

713
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 1: is she good? Or even if there's any way for

714
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: the Resistance to have leverage with her. It's interesting.

715
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 3: I also think that you make a great point because

716
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 3: it's not only subverting the redemption of villainous characters, but

717
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 3: also subverting the idea that the good characters win, because

718
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 3: we know what the end of Rogue one is and

719
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 3: while they do win, and Or doesn't get to survive

720
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 3: to see it, much like Lutheran told him. And I

721
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 3: think there is just something really heartbreaking about the fact

722
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 3: that no matter where this journey goes, we know that

723
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 3: the characters we are following are going to have to

724
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 3: do terrible things to allow the Death Star to be destroyed,

725
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 3: to allow the short time that the rebels defeat you know,

726
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:48,839
Speaker 3: the Empire before they get replaced by by Kylo Wren

727
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 3: and his and his goons. But yeah, it's I think

728
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 3: it's a really interesting subversion and I think Tony gilrey

729
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,280
Speaker 3: Is is the man to do it, and he delivers

730
00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:58,320
Speaker 3: with these three eft.

731
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 2: Zone in the tone zone. The the episode then kind

732
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 2: of screams towards a climax, a dual climax, both on

733
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 2: Mina Raw and at the Chandrulin wedding. At the wedding, Davo, uh,

734
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 2: you know, makes like a speech about the bride and

735
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 2: groom in front of this important and historic Chandy Merle

736
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 2: statue that Luthen got for the wedding.

737
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: He gives a benediction. Later, Luthen is making.

738
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:35,720
Speaker 2: The rounds as a talking to, you know, like making contact,

739
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 2: seeing who's you know. He seems like he's socializing, but

740
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 2: it's clear that he's also like who can I who

741
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 2: can I meet? Who can I use? What contacts can

742
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:45,320
Speaker 2: I make? He keeps a close eye on Tay the

743
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 2: whole time, and Tay is continuing to make these very

744
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 2: increasingly not vague threats at Mond, saying well, I've also

745
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 2: been talking to Davo, you know something on occasion, which

746
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 2: Man and Luthan are are very keen to keep those

747
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 2: two from ever talking, specifically ever talking.

748
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: When they're not around. They don't want that.

749
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 2: Then he's like, I gotta run, uh yeah, I got

750
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 2: some stuff I gotta do, And then really concerningly.

751
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 4: He almost says something else.

752
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 2: He looks like he's really about to divulge something and

753
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 2: then he's like, never mind, I gotta go.

754
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 3: An is now in a full panic.

755
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 4: She's panicking, and Luthen clocks this.

756
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 1: He sees this.

757
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 2: While that's happening. Back on Big Wheat, Bee finds out

758
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 2: there leaving for another hideout, and he's fucking like, well,

759
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:41,880
Speaker 2: how is Cassie and gonna.

760
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: Know where we moved?

761
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 3: Like, that's my boy?

762
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:44,360
Speaker 1: What the fuck?

763
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, the Imperials are like, are about to enter this zone,

764
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 2: about to enter this area. They're looking to move, but

765
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 2: one of their group, Will is like, where the fuck

766
00:43:58,160 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 2: is he? He's with that farm girl?

767
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 3: Oh my god, he is not a.

768
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:06,320
Speaker 2: The We should send him down to the minor leagues

769
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:08,839
Speaker 2: with the fucking factions shooting at each other.

770
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 1: Get out here.

771
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:19,359
Speaker 2: So he's with his girlfriend Beila, and basically one thing

772
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 2: leads to another and Brasso gets arrested by the Imperials

773
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 2: trying to help Will. Meanwhile, Luthen and Mon talk about Tay.

774
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 2: Why is he pestering, scolding so much? This is trouble.

775
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 2: We're gonna have to do something. We can't have this

776
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 2: guy like hanging around. Man is shocked at what Luthen

777
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 2: is suggesting, and Luthen is shocked that she's shocked. She's like,

778
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 2: why are you He's like, why are you shocked? What

779
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 2: do you think that we're doing here?

780
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:50,399
Speaker 3: What do you think happens every single day?

781
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, you think we're gonna we're gonna do stuff,

782
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 2: and just like it's a game of tag and we're

783
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:59,360
Speaker 2: never gonna get our nose you know, dirty or anything.

784
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 1: You think that's go.

785
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,320
Speaker 2: She's really grappling this because, as we mentioned, this is

786
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 2: like her, she was in a relationship with this guy.

787
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:11,400
Speaker 2: It's not just a stranger. And or makes radio contact

788
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 2: with Bicks as he arrives in orbit with the with

789
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 2: the tie fighter, and just at that moment when he

790
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 2: gets he it's not a clear signal, but they speak

791
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 2: a little bit. She knows he's in the area. But

792
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 2: then the Imperial lieutenant Landa, the weirdo, shows up and

793
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 2: it turns into an attempted assault. They end up fighting

794
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:38,240
Speaker 2: Bicks really fucks, like beats his ass with a hammer

795
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 2: and correct. The rest of the Imperials who are over

796
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 2: arresting Brasso, get the call to come over there and

797
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 2: back up this lieutenant who is like, they don't know

798
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 2: what's going on, but there's an attack there's a shootout.

799
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 2: Cassian sees what's going on in the tie Fighter. He

800
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 2: like takes everybody out with his The tie Fighter guns lands.

801
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 2: Sadly Brasso is dead, and what are they gonna do now?

802
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 2: They can't stay on this planet. It's unclear what's happened

803
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 2: back at the wedding.

804
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 3: Definitely like the organizer of like where they would go

805
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 3: and getting them out safely. So it's a it's a

806
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 3: pretty shocking ending, our first loss. We're probably gonna lose

807
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 3: a lot more as the series goes on.

808
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 2: Yes, and then we go to the wedding. It's intercut

809
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 2: with this really incredible like a sequence of Mond dancing

810
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 2: away all her stress to this kind of like dance

811
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:45,840
Speaker 2: the dance portion of.

812
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 1: The wedding ceremony.

813
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 2: And we also see as Tate is leaving the wedding

814
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 2: that Vell kind of follows him out just to see

815
00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 2: where he's going, and she makes eye contact with our.

816
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:05,320
Speaker 1: Good friend Sinta. Of course Vlla and Cinta. There's a

817
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 1: thing going on.

818
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:10,320
Speaker 2: She is tase driver and he clearly has no idea

819
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 2: that she's a resistance anything.

820
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,799
Speaker 3: He's probably not surviving that drive. Let's be real, because

821
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 3: that is what. I think she can kill someone when

822
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:21,320
Speaker 3: she needs to.

823
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 2: Yes, So she's driving him away and it's clear that

824
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:29,839
Speaker 2: it might be the end for him. And we also

825
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 2: get lots of shots of Mond in that flowy dress

826
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:34,719
Speaker 2: just really cutting up.

827
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 1: It's wonderful.

828
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 3: It's very Florence in the machine if they could have.

829
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 1: Been very, very Florence.

830
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 2: And that is the end of episode three. An amazing

831
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 2: first three episode drop of the and Or television program.

832
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 2: A television program that is very, very expensive, that looks

833
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 2: like a million zillion bucks, that has a lot to

834
00:47:56,640 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 2: say about to assist resist empire in a completely fictional

835
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:09,319
Speaker 2: world with antic connection at all thing and a lot

836
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:13,760
Speaker 2: to think about. Your thoughts, Rosy on these first three episodes.

837
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 3: I agree, a lot to think about. Great three episodes.

838
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:20,320
Speaker 3: I think it's exactly what people who loved and Or wanted.

839
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 3: Will it make the viewing public connect with and Or?

840
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:27,480
Speaker 3: I will say I think that the opening sequence is

841
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 3: a great hook to get people in, to get new

842
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:33,440
Speaker 3: viewers in, because A there's the shocking twist of him

843
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:36,239
Speaker 3: seeming like he's a stormtrooper, and then b you get

844
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 3: that huge, really brilliantly put together kind of escape sequence

845
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 3: that's so unlike anything we've seen in Star Wars before,

846
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 3: but that feels completely Star Wars in its own way.

847
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 3: It's so beautifully done, it's so chaotic, it's Tony Gilway

848
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:53,840
Speaker 3: is not having any issues making us feel like this

849
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:56,880
Speaker 3: is a top tier Star Wars story. So I'm very

850
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 3: excited and I'm excited to chop it up with the

851
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:01,400
Speaker 3: producer's next episode.

852
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 1: Two.

853
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, our producers Joel and we were both taking us

854
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:09,880
Speaker 2: to task for our criticism of Will for you know,

855
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:13,239
Speaker 2: you promised you wouldn't say goodbye to be he would

856
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 2: say goodbye, that he would say Gooby, he wouldn't just leave.

857
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 2: But then she also like found his blaster. Here's my

858
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 2: issue with that he left.

859
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 3: Look, I love I think we all need to love

860
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 3: and joy undefined.

861
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:27,799
Speaker 4: We need more love.

862
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:28,840
Speaker 1: I love it.

863
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:31,920
Speaker 3: It's important, but also bro, like just be barter at

864
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 3: hiding your stuff, like, don't take the blaster, don't take

865
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:38,279
Speaker 3: the speed, don't leave the speed away. The Empire is

866
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 3: gonna find it. Yeah.

867
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 2: I think that there's actually like a really important idea here,

868
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:48,359
Speaker 2: which is like, can you fight something terrible without effectively

869
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 2: becoming terrible terrible thing while fighting it?

870
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:54,360
Speaker 1: And I think like the idea that like.

871
00:49:56,280 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 2: You shouldn't honor love and take those moments to really

872
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 2: be alive, like mon in this moment of dancing and

873
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 2: being trying to be free in this moment of extreme danger.

874
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:15,320
Speaker 2: At the same time, if b is killed, it's because

875
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:22,400
Speaker 2: of Will doing this. Yeah, he being sloppy, getting involved

876
00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:26,440
Speaker 2: with a person who shouldn't know about any of this stuff.

877
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 2: And that's how you have to balance this stuff. I

878
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:34,960
Speaker 2: just come on, Will, like you're gonna get everybody killed?

879
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:35,440
Speaker 1: What are we doing?

880
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:38,680
