If you feel like 0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:02.160 the Star Wars have not been up to a cinematic 0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:07.680 visual experience, will change. Chink chi ching, kuchink chink.

Plus, this is just 0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:28.680 a recap episode. As and Or such a big release 0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:30.759 for us, we will be back for a deeper dive 0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:36.679 on our thoughts Easter Eggs Jedi Council Opinions on Friday. 0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:40.080 Okay. 0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:45.959 The first episode of and Or season two opens four 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:47.560 years before Battle of Yavin. 0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:49.440 We are at a. 0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:55.360 Imperial test facility, a weapons test facility called sign Ar Cassie, 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:58.800 and and Or is there undercover. He is there to 0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:05.440 apparently feel a experimental tie fighter with the help of 0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:09.680 his spy network. There on the ground a woman named Nia, 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:18.440 and it goes. It goes very rockily. Yeah, and Or 0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:21.000 crashing the ship into the side of the hangar. He 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:24.560 has to blast his way out. It's not a clean getaway, 0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:25.760 but he does get away. 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:30.520 The money is money. It's like this secret corgious, unbelievable. 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:34.400 It's also really fun because so often in Star Wars 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:37.080 we see somebody get into a ship they've never flown 0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:39.639 before and they can magically fly it because they're hand 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:42.440 solo and they're connected to the force or whatever you believe. 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:47.040 So it was great to see and Or crash this ship, 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:49.840 trash this ship, and every single moment of the ship 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:52.840 getting trashed is beautiful. I also think they did a 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:56.320 great job here. You notice that he is wearing imperial 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:59.400 uniform if you are so inclined to do so. But 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:02.120 when you see a walking with the stormtrooper helmet that 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:07.400 it is very shocking, and I think they did a 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:09.480 good job. I also think there's a great moment here 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:13.919 where Nia says, is it bad that I've had fun here? 0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:17.440 And you realize that there are like human beings who 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:20.239 are all in this terrible world? I love? 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:22.679 Yeah, my time with the Empire has been so fun. 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:25.760 Yeah, she was like, fucking bad, Jason said, is bad? Bro? 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:27.560 That's how they get you. 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:30.040 Like they're saying you didn't have fun, but yeah, come on, 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:32.800 it's the Empire. Is it bad that I love the 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:35.760 uniforms and it's fun to fighters? 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:39.440 She's like, how's it going. 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:41.800 Elsewhere? 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:46.760 Bix wakes up from Nightmare B two, continuing to be 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:50.480 the very emotional Droid that we know him to be. 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:55.680 Emotional and loyal Droid from season one, is very concerned. 0:03:56.120 --> 0:04:00.800 He wants to make sure that Cassian knows that she's 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:05.240 still having the bad dreams, and he's also very excited 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:09.440 because Cassie apparently will return to whatever this hideout of 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:14.600 the Spy Network is tomorrow. We go to Chandrilla, where 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:19.160 Mon Mathma is getting ready for the wedding of her 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:23.880 daughter lighta arranged marriage, the arranged marriage in the chandriline 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:27.920 fashion to Stecken, who is of course the son of 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:33.320 the warlord and oligarch Davoskolden, who helped them launder money 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:38.160 last season, because if you recall, Mon had an outstanding 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:41.000 like four hundred thousand credits that she needed to move 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:42.640 and then all of a sudden she couldn't move them 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:45.760 very easily, and so they needed to call in Davo 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:48.560 who has all these kind of underworld contacts, and he 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:52.000 was able to absorb that. But the cost of the 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:54.760 deal was you got to marry your daughter to my 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:59.080 son because you're from this like high class aristocratic family, 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:01.720 and it's it would be great for you, know, my. 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.920 Juice, if we were attacked, if we were attached to you. 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:07.520 I will say as well. This is a sequence that 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:10.080 blew my mind last season. The mod Moth miss stuff 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:11.919 I was here or there on I thought it was, 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:20.520 but this visually and costuming and production wise, I felt 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:25.640 like I was in the Prequels. Complimentary wedding dress looks 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:30.760 pure Amidala. The floating wedding dress, the color grading the 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:34.800 clothes that are worn here to showcase who is involved 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:37.800 in the religion and who is not, and then you 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:42.440 start to see some unexpected faces. Is unbelievable. 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:47.240 Like, I don't know how much natural light is used 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:50.279 in some of these shots on Chandrilla and all the 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:53.640 Monmotha stuff, but it looks so good. 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:57.040 It looks so good, just beautiful, just looks gorgeous. 0:05:57.200 --> 0:05:59.200 You know what else is looking good?

We're about to meet the true 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:33.480 rebel like proto rebel ye rebels. The rebels have not 0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:35.720 gotten their shit together yet, and this is like what 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:40.120 we have.

That's it. 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:09.480 It's closed off. We're just that's it. We're working on 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:11.800 this thing and you're gonna find out what it is. Also, 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:16.800 in this room, our deirdre are our friendly intelligence office, 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:19.880 not friendly our intelligence officer from last year. 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:26.560 Drum. I'm still trying to walk it out. She's she's 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:28.200 being as enigmatic as ever. 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:30.960 She has a hard or not, I don't know, and 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:36.880 also a major part of gas is there hilarious not 0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:42.319 even a master. After the warnings, we get a presentation 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:47.080 about the Gorman Valley, which is this galactically renowned producer 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:51.440 of high quality textiles made from spider silk. And the 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:55.880 Empire is really, really really interested in the Gorman, the 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:58.960 Gorman Valley. They want this area, and we're about to 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:03.880 find out why. Yeah, Kranik tells them that in addition 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:12.160 to the uh spidery silk created there, there's also huge 0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:16.600 deposits of calkite under the valley that is necessary for 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:21.280 the lens coating of the Death Star. That they have 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:26.240 heard of it, and and if the Empire can't find 0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:30.520 some other synthetic or natural source somewhere else in the galaxy, 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:36.520 well Gorman's got to be taken in by hand, and 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:41.040 very very quickly and very very quietly, with a good reason. 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:45.480 We go back to Cassian, the proto scum or like 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:49.280 they're arguing it's like, is he an imperial? 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:53.360 Is he not an Imperial the tie fighter there. 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:57.280 They haven't eaten in two days, we discover and this 0:10:57.320 --> 0:10:59.520 goes on and on, like. 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:01.920 How did they not bring snacks? Like, guys, come on, 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:04.360 and they've also they've already had a split in the 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:07.840 group because somebody is missing. Now. I will say what 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:12.000 I love about these sequences is despite the fact that 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:15.160 they clearly are just kind of to keep and Or 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:17.880 on the side for a little bit. I will say 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:22.679 I thought that the way that you see and Or 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:28.559 immediately start scheming, and Cassian is suddenly like, yeah, I 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:31.520 know Maya the person she was my contact, Like I'm 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:35.920 he's so good at playing the game. He has learnt 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:38.680 his lessons from Lutheran and he is not afraid to lie, 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:41.880 to survive, to do whatever he has to to get 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:43.000 the mission done. 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:46.400 That part when he talks about Maya, I actually found 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:48.560 him to be sincere in that moment. I thought he 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:51.320 was like, hey, wait a second, I know your group. 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:56.200 I'm supplyed, like I'm part of another resistance cell that's 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:58.760 been supplying your group, Like what do you guys, we're 0:11:58.800 --> 0:11:59.959 on the same side, Like what's going on? 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:03.520 I couldn't tell. I don't know because I'm like she's 0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:06.560 obviously not Porko, who, by the way, is that Porkins, Like, 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:11.520 I don't know as a rebel, but like, yeah, I 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:14.080 also by the end of it was like, oh, this 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:16.920 does make sense. Maybe this is the truth. But I 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:19.160 think with Cassie and you can never know. And and 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:22.160 I think that that Diego is doing such a good 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:23.520 job of bringing that to life. 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:28.800 Here Diego and his tasteful new cheek fillers. 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:31.040 I'll say, let's just talk about it. I think his 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:33.360 cheeks look really smooth and different now. 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:36.320 They look very beautiful, like he's in the most expensive 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:37.440 Star Wars show of all time. 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:38.120 Truly. 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:42.840 I'll also say that this sequence of scenes with Cassian 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:46.840 and these kind of proto rebels, the rebels come. I 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:51.160 found it to be a really trenchet commentary on. 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:54.320 Left wing infighting. 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:58.080 The hist like a thing that seems to be deevil 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:02.880 progressive and left wing politics always as they tempt to 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:09.199 struggle against uh, you know, capitalists and or fascist forces. 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:15.280 There's a reason why uh you know, uh left wing 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:17.640 movers and shakers can never seem to get it together 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:20.440 to fight against fascism. It's because they're always fighting themselves 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:24.080 and that's like a sadly true thing that's happening right now. 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:28.560 Even Yeah, it's a great microcosm to here where also 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:33.800 like this, they're fighting this battle within themselves that is 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:36.679 not leading them anywhere and is just going to lead 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:39.880 to them literally like eating each other and starving, while 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:46.080 Krenick is planning essentially like galactic fracking and how to 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:49.480 destroy an entire indigenous population. So it's like, guys, there's 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:52.480 bigger things, just like team up and go in assassinate credits. 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:53.280 That is what. 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:57.320 Well, first we got to figure out who is more rebel, 0:13:57.400 --> 0:13:59.800 like who's the most people, who's the most You're exactly 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:03.600 all Rightkrenick basically tells the group, Okay, here's what we're 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:07.360 looking at. If we have to mine this shit in 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:12.559 the Gorman Valley, it will cause the massive ecological collapse 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:19.240 and like geological collapse of this entire region, including the 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:25.680 destruction of nine notable cities in the region. And if 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:28.240 we're gonna do that, we have to be careful because 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:30.280 the Gormans have juice in the Senate and the rest 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:32.880 of the planets are gonna get scared that the Empire 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:35.920 is like out to get everybody and so we have 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:38.160 to just find a good reason to go in there 0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:40.600 and do this to make it make sense. So he 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:45.280 introduces d Shamba and NICUs Osar from the Ministry of Enlightenment. 0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:47.760 These are the propaganda guys, and they start throwing around. 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:52.680 These opra or how like effectively off all this immediately becomes. 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:56.840 Yeah, and so then they start throwing around ideas about how, 0:14:57.280 --> 0:14:59.080 you know, we can make a case, how the Empire 0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:02.360 can make a case for annex in Greenland I mean, 0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:06.360 sorry Gorman Gorman Valley. And the idea is like, you know, 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:08.560 we can basically we can turn public. 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:10.160 Opinion against the Gormans. 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:13.320 They're annoying and they're always like they're not helping out 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:13.520 with the. 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:17.840 Fire close they're too close to the spiders that are 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:21.480 really scary. So it doesn't make that that make them monsters. 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:27.480 And then we also learn that in you know, looking 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:30.360 ahead to this eventuality, that they're going to try to 0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:36.680 annex Gore, annex the Gores, they've already started pre positioning 0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:43.120 like weapons in Palmo, the Gore capital. Krenick is like, Deirdre, 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:45.280 you've been quiet this entire meeting. 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:47.520 What do you got. This is a great idea. I 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:49.080 love this idea, and. 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:52.480 She's like, I don't know, really really yeah, she's very 0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:55.400 cagey and here's where to your point. I can't tell 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:57.920 if she's like, I don't like this mission, I think 0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:01.760 it's terrible ethically, morally, egues, or if she's just like 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:04.240 I want to be back up my old job, like 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:07.400 I think this job sucks. I think it's more. I 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:09.160 honestly think it's more that, like I want. 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:12.800 To go on best with the access with finding these. 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:14.240 She still wants to find access. 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:18.720 Yes, so she's you know, critic eventually pushes her and 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:22.280 she's like, well, what you need is a false flag operation, 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:24.000 you need fake rebels. 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:27.720 She doesn't go into it, but I think what she's. 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:30.240 Suggesting, yes, is like a fake terrorist attack. And then 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:34.480 we go in back on Mina. Raw B is still 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:37.800 like Cassie and Cassie and when Cassie's coming back, where 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:40.480 is he's coming back? And we discover also that the 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:44.680 Imperials are on planet because they're doing an audit whatever 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:48.000 that means. It's how much how much wheat is big 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:50.680 we giving us, Like really they just. 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:53.640 Want to go and act up and harass people on. 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:57.920 Absolutely true we go back to the wedding. It's like 0:16:57.960 --> 0:16:59.880 the night before the wedding, it seems like folks are 0:16:59.880 --> 0:17:05.159 so socializing. Vel questions. Cleia, who you know, remembers the 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:10.240 clerk at Luthen's shop who is also in the network, 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:14.280 important person in the network, and she's like, what the 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:16.239 fuck are you doing here? Like and I get it. 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:18.119 Vella is worried, like why are all these spies in 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:20.399 one place? There's way too many of us here, like 0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:24.679 that is weird. But she's like, well, our shop provided 0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:27.520 the art, and Luthen is basically the wedding planner, Like 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:29.200 I gotta be here, Like what are you talking about? 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:30.120 She's like, I'm handam. 0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:33.560 Meanwhile, Mon goes to smooth things over the light of 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:38.040 after a fight with the groom to be and YadA, YadA, YadA, 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:39.120 and we go back. 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:41.520 We we end with like a final. 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:45.200 Visit with our rebels who are having a They're now 0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:49.119 shooting each other because they're a fucking unseerious group of 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:52.479 hot heads who legitimately can't get it together and are 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:54.880 more interested in shooting each other than shooting at the Empire. 0:17:55.000 --> 0:17:57.880 Yeah, and I think like aboo, super producer Boo made 0:17:57.880 --> 0:18:01.240 a great point where it's like this also to within 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:05.119 the world of Star Wars, the disper ultra secret of 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:09.560 nature of the rebellion and how it is actively working 0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:15.000 against itself by their not being chains of communication like they. 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:17.400 Just isn't thought like. 0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:21.280 A secret handshake, but it's something to prove that they 0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:23.280 are involved together. 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:28.360 Like I think it's a good point aboo. But let 0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:32.399 me say this first of all, what one thing I 0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:34.399 love about and Or is that there are no It 0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:37.960 does not reflect the real world. It's completely just totally effecially. 0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:44.280 The one thing I've been thinking about is listen, you've 0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:49.040 got the Empire is extremely powerful. They control every space 0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:55.680 of communication, society, culture, and economics. There is no way 0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:58.520 to communicate openly about resisting them, period. 0:18:58.560 --> 0:18:59.000 You can't. 0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:04.359 It's not safe. You can't actually do it in that reality. 0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:11.479 How do you organize? Can't You can be selective in 0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:16.159 terms of the people who matriculate up into the higher 0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:20.240 levels of the resistance, where and Or and Luthen and 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:25.000 the rest circulate because you're but in terms of who 0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:29.239 you are recruiting to take on this impossible goal of 0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:34.840 fighting the Empire, I think it makes rational sense. It 0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:37.840 doesn't make any it's not effective, but it would make 0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:41.280 sense that the people that you're going to get coming 0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:43.800 to your group are going to have a lot more 0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:49.600 zeal than ability. And they're also not the people that 0:19:49.680 --> 0:19:53.320 you know you can trust at this particular stage. They're 0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:55.560 the people who want to shoot. You need those people. 0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:58.000 Are they the smart enough people who have the nerve 0:19:58.119 --> 0:20:00.159 to like go undercover and do all the things that 0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:04.639 Luthen and and Or and the rest do. Clearly not 0:20:05.160 --> 0:20:08.480 they haven't. They don't have that kind of experience. So 0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:11.840 I take the point that, like, couldn't you communicate with them, 0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:15.520 but like, if you tell them what's going on at 0:20:15.560 --> 0:20:18.320 the top, your whole fucking operation is blown as soon 0:20:18.359 --> 0:20:20.520 as one of these fuckers gets captured. 0:20:20.880 --> 0:20:23.560 I will say this is even proven in this episode 0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:28.720 and Andal points out where he explains, like the guy 0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:31.719 explains who they are and that Maya is missing and everything, 0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:34.040 and then they're like, well, tell us what you're working on, 0:20:34.080 --> 0:20:38.080 and Ando's like no, and he's like he's like, well, 0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:39.000 you shouldn't. 0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:41.359 Have done that, Like sorry, you guys are shooting at 0:20:41.400 --> 0:20:43.480 each other and you were like tell me your entire operator. 0:20:43.480 --> 0:20:46.159 Get the fuck out of let's take a break and 0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:47.000 go to episode two. 0:20:47.400 --> 0:21:06.119 Yeah, and we're back after the shootout. 0:21:06.680 --> 0:21:10.439 One fact, now the factions have completely split, and so 0:21:10.520 --> 0:21:13.840 you have the faction that is over by the Advanced 0:21:13.880 --> 0:21:16.399 Tie Fighter, the ship faction, and you have the shot 0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:20.720 the faction that has Cassian prisoner, the Cassian faction. Neither 0:21:20.760 --> 0:21:23.040 of them have food or water and they are all 0:21:23.240 --> 0:21:27.200 a fucking joke. On the way to work back on Coursot, 0:21:27.240 --> 0:21:29.960 Deirdre stops part Gaz to tell him, listen, I hate 0:21:29.960 --> 0:21:31.280 this Gorman Valley project. 0:21:31.320 --> 0:21:34.200 And it's not the genocide. It's not that. 0:21:34.640 --> 0:21:37.600 It's that I want to be back on Axis hunt duty. 0:21:38.359 --> 0:21:39.760 Get me back on Axis. 0:21:40.160 --> 0:21:43.000 Pod guys is like, good luck. Crenick told you this 0:21:43.040 --> 0:21:45.080 is your job, So this is your fucking job. Like 0:21:45.119 --> 0:21:47.640 you know, it's the empire, babe, it's not a democracy. 0:21:48.160 --> 0:21:51.240 Like he makes the careers point, He's like, listen, Credit 0:21:51.359 --> 0:21:55.960 tapped you to be in this.

The Emperor has his eye on 0:22:00.680 --> 0:22:01.600 this project. 0:22:02.440 --> 0:22:04.240 This is great for your career. 0:22:05.680 --> 0:22:07.840 So what are you doing. Don't rock the boat. 0:22:08.200 --> 0:22:11.080 Back with the wedding party, Claya is increasingly concerned that, 0:22:11.240 --> 0:22:13.359 like we're not getting any news out of Mina Raw, like, 0:22:13.359 --> 0:22:15.840 what's going on? No word from the team. I don't 0:22:15.840 --> 0:22:19.440 know if Cassiean's back. And now it seems as if 0:22:19.440 --> 0:22:23.080 we're getting whispers that the Empire is in the area 0:22:23.119 --> 0:22:24.160 carrying out an inspection. 0:22:24.640 --> 0:22:26.160 What are we gonna do?
