If you're way Wayne and 0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:23.080 sitting across from me, as always used Danny Fernandez, Hello, Hello, 0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:27.240 I am well, I have my tea here in water 0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:32.560 and Ricola. You know, I'm trying to trying to stay clean, 0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:36.920 not get sick. Not get sick out here, everyone's getting sick. 0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:40.520 I'm thinking you're four. I might have knocked on wood 0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:45.400 built up my parents immunity. Oh that's how you did it. Yeah, 0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:48.440 because I had a sick child constantly in rotation. Now 0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:51.239 she'll just be sick and I'm like, sorry, chief, let 0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:54.160 me uh wipe your nose down. But you ain't getting me. 0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:56.600 Aren't they sick like the first like five years of 0:00:56.640 --> 0:00:59.680 their life because they're constantly because what what's happening is 0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:02.120 like they'll be home and you make them feel better 0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:04.640 and they go back to school with other sick kids. 0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:07.399 So it just is in a rotation until all the 0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:13.280 kids finally build up their immunity. Well, yeah, I'm I'm not. 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:17.280 I don't have kids, but who I'm looking at right now? 0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:21.280 I totally remember that we forgot to get introductions. We 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:25.399 just started off that's okay. I also don't have kids. 0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:29.119 I have two for babies and they're like my kids, 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:31.720 but they don't get me sick obviously. What kind of 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:36.280 babies there? There are two dogs their rescues and they're 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:44.399 white fluffy, I don't know. They're Hoodle mixes rescues and 0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:48.480 who are other voice? Iffy? Yeah, our man, Tino? What 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:51.040 is you only see you as Tino Stark? What is 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:54.160 your okay? Well, there you go, that's what you go. 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:58.160 That's your alis okay, exactly. Federal government, that's another question. 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:02.440 Here to get you in trouble. Yeah, we're we're not 0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:04.920 here to have the I R S. Text guy. He 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:07.680 was listening. He was in his office like we got them, boy. 0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:10.120 And now you know, it's so funny. Before they started, 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:12.560 we were we were joking around about like security and 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:14.440 I was saying, where else trying to pay my student loans? 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:16.080 They were asking me all these questions and some of 0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:18.840 them I didn't remember, and I forgot my pen and 0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:21.040 I'm like, they're like, sorry, man, we have to do this, 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:23.040 and I'm like, no one is trying to pay off 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:27.440 my student loads and if yeah, yeah, nobody's calling y'all 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:30.560 navigant or whatever to try and help me pay off 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:34.520 my student loans. Um anyways, I just find that really funny. 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:36.400 I think I think it is hilarious where the piece 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:38.440 the person finally gets in there like oh nope, and 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:40.320 then they just peace out when they see the annount 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:43.600 because all student loans are awful. Yeah, that's what's funny 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.519 is I feel like there are some places that are 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:48.799 asking for way too much security, Like when I want 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:51.359 like my Starbucks gift card and it's like you need 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:53.520 to use a special character. I was like, no, let 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:56.240 me put dog if I want. This is a Starbucks 0:02:56.240 --> 0:03:01.200 gift card. Relax, these pictures have pigeons. And the other 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:04.080 catch us stuff is especially if you're trying to figure 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:06.040 out your passwords and you're having to keep do it. 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:09.680 How many more traffic lights do I need to click 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:11.960 on these boxes before they take me to the next step. 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:17.000 The technology is listening. I know now they're now they're 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:20.000 going to create Okay, wait, we're we have to hop 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:22.320 over what we're speaking about this week, just because we 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:24.720 have a really long episode that we're bringing you all. 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:26.480 But I did want to say that I got hooked 0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:29.280 into the circle and I hate it because everybody was like, 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:31.120 you have to watch the show, and I'm like, no, 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:33.919 I hate reality TV. I'm not a Big Brother person. 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:35.920 And then I watched the first episode and I'm like, 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:40.040 oh my god, shoot me, that's who I'm voting for. Okay, 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:44.240 do you like it? Yes? What is the Okay? So 0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:46.839 let me let me explain it to you. So it's 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:49.600 just like Big Brother, but they're kind of like an apartment, 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:52.720 it's like in a hotel, and they can't see each other. 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:56.440 So it's they're all operating like online. So you can 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:59.840 pick your profile picture and some people lie because you're 0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:02.960 not gonna be seen, right, So you could be the 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:05.560 hot girl or you could be whatever, you could be 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:07.640 whoever you want to be on there. So, but can 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:10.400 they hook up and like meat, Well not unless you 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:12.720 get kicked off. So here's the thing. If you get 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:15.280 voted out because and and the way that they like 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:18.240 get a connection is you can DM each other, you 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:20.400 can group chats, you can make an alliance and only 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:23.960 add like three people, but you can't see you can't 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:27.080 see the other person. Um. And so if you get 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:30.599 kicked out, like you're you're the least popular or whatever, um, 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:34.159 you can visit one player before you leave. Then you 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:37.160 can go into their room. Well I'm not going to 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:39.320 tell you anything as far as physical, but you can 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:41.160 go into someone's room and see if they are who 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:43.640 they say they are, oh my gosh, or if you 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:45.719 just like, we're talking to this dude that you like, 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:47.400 have been talking to for weeks and you go in 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:49.080 and you see that it's actually like an old woman 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:51.080 or something that's not something that happened, but that I'm 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:55.440 just giving you, which no one after this. Yeah, okay, 0:04:55.440 --> 0:05:01.440 I'm blocked cat fishing, so locked in, but also just 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:04.920 so fascinating to me that like it reminds me of 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:07.039 when I was on AIM and I would be in 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:10.600 like the Backstreet Boy chat room or like the DBZ 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:14.000 chat room and like making friends and I had an 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:17.200 Internet boyfriend and all of that. So it is funny 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:22.000 that like final question, can you change your profile picture? Yes? 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:26.920 Oh yeah, but if you do, people know that you 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:31.720 lied and you're like yeah. But also also it's fascinating 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:34.600 watching you'll we'll have to talk about this. It's fascinating 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.960 watching which which pictures they choose, because some people are 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:40.440 themselves and they're just like, oh, this picture of me 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:43.000 on the beach in a bikini, and I'm like, it's 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:46.120 just their thought process is like people will love this, 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:48.159 and it's like no, some people actually will be like 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:51.359 f her, Like you know, she's full of herself, you know. 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:53.880 So it's just like interesting, what all the guys and 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:55.839 all the girls what they think everyone wants, which is 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:58.120 just hot people. And in reality, a lot of times 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:00.919 people just want, like someone that's real. What should they 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:05.400 find out? Um, we're talking about Star Wars. Yeah, something 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:12.880 that's not real. But speaking whoa what? But speaking of looks, 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:15.800 we're talking about the fashion of Star Wars. So I 0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:18.320 guess to kick the conversation off, are there any like 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:22.000 standout looks or pieces in the Star Wars movies that 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:25.960 you are just in love with? And I gotta say 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:30.960 before we get started, Um, I started. I picked up 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:33.240 Battle Front and two again because everyone's like it's good 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:37.280 now and they and this the last Jedi scene where 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:39.440 they're in that cool planet with the white sand and 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:42.840 the red dirt. You you you essentially play that battle 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:46.039 and it looks so gorgeous, and I remember thinking it 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:48.000 was gorgeous, like watching and I was like, oh man, 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:50.320 I got to experience. So that being said, what's like 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:53.599 a piece or you know, for me, I would have 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:57.560 to say, it's actually imperial uniforms. Yeah, totally. You know, 0:06:57.600 --> 0:06:59.839 they're the bad guys. Nobody wants to like them, but 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:03.760 they do look clean. Yeah, it was pressed. They know 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:06.920 what they're doing. They did even when they're incompetent, they 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:12.520 still look good. They look good, vader o. God that 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:15.040 I had to agree for like a minimalist standpoint, the 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:18.280 imperials is so pleasing to the eye. And for my pick, 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:19.800 I'm going to go with something that's a little bit 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:22.160 more girly and uh where I'm gonna go with the 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:24.880 Padma Almadela. I called this um, I don't like sand 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:27.960 dress when she was rolling around again. It's like a 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:31.840 color not not with the drift. This is like a 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:35.040 cold shoulder and it's a long Maxi gown. It goes 0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:38.240 on from like a pale yellow to a pink and 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:41.760 it kind of looks like it is exactly that one. 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:45.320 Is exactly that one. It looks kind of angelic. Yeah, 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:47.160 and that's what I look like about. It looks kind 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:49.560 of Roman if I remember correctly, that's the one she 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:51.440 wore when they were at the lake house and naboo, 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:53.880 it's the Yeah, it's the lake dress, but I also 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:56.800 like to call it, I don't like sand dress. Yeah, 0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:59.280 so where he says that to her, So it's all bred. 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:01.640 It starts with like a and color that fades to pink, 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:05.800 that fades to purple, is off the shoulder. And yeah, 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:10.400 while we're already talking about her, I do remember out 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:13.080 of one thing, you know, there's lots of thoughts about 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:16.000 the you know, prequel trilogy, I will say the one 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:19.880 thing that stand out as being like a strong like 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:25.200 thing produced by that trilogy was Queen Amidala's looks like 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:30.040 just that kind of like obviously Semi Geisha inspired one 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:33.640 line down the lip like that still to this day, 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:35.960 I think is it was one of probably the standout 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:39.640 looks in Star Wars. And I remember, and I remember 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:43.120 it clearly because I remember my step sister had the 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:45.520 Barbie doll because they had the Barbie dolls for where 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:48.480 they had all the different outfits that they had, and 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:50.560 she had the pad May she had that one in 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:53.720 a third one, and I remember my dad kept telling 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:57.160 her not to open it to like just like leaving in. 0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:03.040 But like I remember she just was like, play with this, Yeah, 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:08.480 we're supposed to do Yeah, I know, that's I remember. Um. 0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:11.440 There was when I think Star Wars came back out. 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:14.680 They were they were talking about like the toys, because 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:17.280 you know, as we talked about in our in our 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:20.960 toy episode, we're talking about how Star Wars kind of 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:24.520 brought on those new sized action figures like that was 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:27.920 because of the Star Wars one. So obviously they're worth 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:30.000 a lot of money. And my dad he was watching 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:31.880 it and he looks at me. He was like, I 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:34.240 bought all those toys for you and you just played 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:37.240 with them. And I was like, yeah, that's just started crying. 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:42.480 That's that's what you do with toys. Dad, Like, oh, man, probably, 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:47.320 I don't know, like mint condition inside the box. Unlike 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:54.920 my princess died beanie baby. Oddly enough, do you want 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:57.960 to know? The most expensive beanie babies are the ones 0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:02.280 with defects. If if you have defect beanie babies, those 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:05.240 go for tons of money. But like any other like 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:08.520 regular beanie babies. Nothing. I just donated a bunch of 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:11.720 beanie babies too. I think that holds true too for 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:15.640 the Star Wars actually figures themselves. There's some yode out 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:17.719 there with one green eye and one blue eye and 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:22.080 it's worth a ton. Yah. That's crazy. The this Google 0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:24.680 resorts of results are very different. It looks like you 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:30.160 can get one for sixteen dollars and another one for 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:35.280 so you know, dealer's choice. M Can you guess what 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:38.440 my favorite costume is? I have tweeted about it a 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:44.960 little bit the last couple of months. Okay, um, okay, okay, 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:46.840 I'm gonna get some hits. I'm I'm gonna get some 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:52.520 get some hints. Um is it a female? Male? Character? Male? Okay? 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:58.440 All right, okay, UM, I can't say what one of 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:01.960 my tweets is because this is an rated E for everyone. 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:04.480 Of course, of course you wouldn't be able to read 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:09.360 one of your tweets on it. Um who Okay if 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:14.480 it's no no no no no no no no, it 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:18.440 because because because I because I know there's one tweet 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:21.679 or one joke you reference, But then I feel like 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:25.720 it's not the on. I don't think it's on because 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:29.319 his outfits are basic. Um wow, I think I know, 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:32.840 I think I think I know who. Okay, let's see 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:34.559 if I get the character, and then if I get 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:40.079 the character out to the guests, Is it Lando? No? Okay, 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:43.760 then my next guest, who have I literally been lusting 0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:51.720 about NonStop? No? Really? No? Okay, good that we're wasting 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:58.920 people's time. Dude, the Mandalorian. I know it's so. I 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:01.400 know we were thinking movies, but I said, the last 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:05.680 couple of months, yeah, oh my gosh, that nobody has 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:10.600 more swagger and the most uncomfortable fit. It's like watching 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:14.240 Michael Keaton in that rubber Batman suit but yet so 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:18.760 fine his outfit, especially because they keep like with each 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:21.160 If you all been watching The Mandalorian, I'm sure like 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:24.120 with each new you know, piece of metal, he gets 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:27.679 like it's just even more his insignias, and it's just hot. 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:30.559 He's hot. He's hot. I want to know the logistics 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:33.360 because he can't take it off. But I'm sure that 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:43.480 he's adult. That's even wilders heck, and I'm going to 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:45.880 change the subject before I get in trouble, but we're 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:47.920 gonna look forward to tweet. I want to know the logistics. 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:52.480 I'm sure he's consummated his adulthood at at many moments. Yeah, 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:58.080 that's fine, that was fine. Landos is very cool, though, 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:01.760 and did you see that was uncut? Ems was the 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:04.920 picture of Adam Sandler and he was basically wearing the 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:07.600 same thing, and Billy d Williams tweeted it out. He 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:13.080 was like, yeah, who would better fun? Um? Yeah there 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:16.160 there's also like the kind of difference of the New 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:19.760 Orlando that Glover was in where it looks like he's 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:22.440 wearing this loosened tie and that look that one that 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:25.080 looks slaps. Oh. I did want to say because Wendy 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:28.840 was was whispering, po damn written at me. Um, but 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:32.200 look at this note that I have from September and 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:34.679 that's all it says. Can you say that on err 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:38.560 or yea, yeah you can say damn Ran. It's like 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:41.360 a tweet and that's all it says is Poe damn Ran. 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:44.680 It's so true though, he just got continuously hotter in 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:48.040 every new movie. Yeah, this is what the show is, 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:56.880 which is also the the videos of him and uh no, no, no, 0:13:57.200 --> 0:14:00.440 it's who voices Pedro. Yeah, him and Paige Row like 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:03.000 the interview they did together, well, no, they did an 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:06.360 interview together and then they would like dip in too, 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:08.720 like saying things in Spanish, and I was like like 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:11.880 that like just that that that energy. I was like that, 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:14.040 I love that where you're just like, yo, we're just 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:17.560 browing out. And I was like, I watch a whole 0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:20.960 show like you give give them Jeff Gold Blue Show 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:25.880 and let them go around experiencing things. Yeah, you heard me. First, 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:29.880 bring me in s E P. If you do a check. 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:33.200 I guess the first thing we'll talk about is a 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:36.560 New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, which were the 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:39.600 Academy Award winning costumes from the original Star Wars and 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:42.440 The Empire strikes Back, and those were crafted by John 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:49.520 Molo uh Molo Moloo Molo, John Molo and the legendary 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:52.080 designer who also did the costumes for Alien in nineteen 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:56.360 eighty Gandhi Chaplain and Event Horizon. So you know, I 0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:59.160 know that Event Horizon movie is horrifying. I've seen it 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:01.920 once and I've never watching it again. Oh man, I 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:06.320 think I vaguely remember it, but now it's like I 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:08.320 gotta go back and watch it. Yeah. Sure. Eli was 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:11.720 tweeting about, um, what is it fire in the sky 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:14.840 which is terrified? Just that one scene. The rest of 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:19.600 it's okay, but y'all know the scene the eye y'all know. Um. Yeah, So, actually, 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:24.000 throughout Molo's legendary career, he wrote several books on costuming 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:28.400 which documented the differences in military uniforms throughout history, including 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:31.960 the Crimea War, the American Revolutionary War, in the Seven 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:34.520 Years War. And he brought all of this knowledge and 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:36.880 designed to Star Wars, which you can definitely see, like 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:39.920 we were talking about and the Stormtroopers. The Stormtroopers are 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:43.120 clean as heck. I love their outfit. Definitely a lot 0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:46.600 of military experience and it's conveyed through that, I know. 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:50.600 And it's very funny because we had Carbonion last week 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:55.240 and he was kind of talking about this was off, Mike, 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:58.920 but like how like now in the Star Wars universe, 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:01.680 there's people who keep records of these things and so 0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:04.360 if like someone was to go, what does that button 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:07.440 on that suit does? Someone has to figure that out. 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:10.560 So that's really cool to know that not only is 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:15.760 a great design, but also there's functionality to it too. Indeed. Yeah, 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:18.640 so in the collaboration with his brother Boris, with illustrator 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:22.320 Malcolm McGregor, Molow's research into war uniforms made him a 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:26.720 sought after expert among Hollywood elites. Like Stanley Kubrick. Molo 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:29.080 worked on Barry Lyndon, where he helped to make sure 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:32.360 the costumes were period accurate. So when Lucas came around 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:34.960 talking about Star Wars, Molo was ready as a blank 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:37.720 slate when it came to designing these sci fi costumes. 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:40.400 He was ready to stop consulting and began designing. And 0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:44.040 Molo took the job and began constructing several pieces. Uh. 0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:46.040 And so he's quoted saying, I don't want the audience 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:47.920 to notice any of the costumes. I just want to 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:51.320 see light versus dark. That's what Lucas told Molo. So 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:54.240 the aim was to make Lucas's fantasy universe appear authentic. 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:58.160 So Molo considered that his total ignorance of science fiction 0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:01.720 was advantageous in achieving this. Yeah, I guess we should 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:03.400 talk a little bit about the light and dark. I mean, 0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:07.439 that's totally accurate. And it's very like even if I 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:10.520 weren't a Star Wars fan, Like just looking at the poster, 0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:13.320 you could immediately tell, like when I think even of 0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:17.480 Darth Vader, Kylo wren as opposed to Luke and Leia, 0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:21.080 like the white contrasted with the I just find that 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:23.520 really fast and like I said, angelic, because a lot 0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:26.440 of the a lot of like Leia Pad may even 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:31.120 luke to some extent, like the fabric, Yes who has, 0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:33.880 it's always like a softer edge. There's a lot more texture, 0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:36.840 whereas opposed to when you look at the Imperials, it's 0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:41.840 always sharp, very you know, sharp corners, very smooth and shiny, 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:44.199 like they have no room before error. That's kind of 0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:46.359 what they want. Very militant, kind of like what we 0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:49.840 talked about. And the masks are always menacing that there's 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:52.840 very specific shapes to these masks that you look at 0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:54.239 it you're like, I don't want to mess with that, 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:56.800 you know, you don't want to approach them, right, And 0:17:56.800 --> 0:17:58.960 then when you look at the Resistance or the Rebel Alliance, 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:02.280 they're always very rag tag earth tones, you know what 0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:05.080 I mean. So they're more grounded within the world that 0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:07.600 they live in. Yeah, And I know, And there's something 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:12.159 to like having the dark be so white and bright, 0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:14.920 especially I think in the earlier moves there. I feel 0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:17.680 like there's something to that to where like the grunts, 0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:21.360 the like ponds are very white bright. And then as 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:23.679 you move up the ranks, it's just dark, dark to 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:27.200 the top guide Luke, Darth Vader being just all black, 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:31.200 almost like a spectrum. Yeah, yeah, that's that's so true. Yeah, 0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:33.720 as you get further within the Imperial the darker you get. 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:36.280 We have to take a really quick break and then 0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:38.479 we're going to hop back actually into the origins of 0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:51.920 Darth Vader's helmet right after this, and we're bat we're 0:18:51.920 --> 0:18:57.040 talking about the costumes and fashion of Star Wars, and uh, 0:18:57.200 --> 0:18:59.000 we were kind of during the break just talking about 0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:01.440 how dope Darth Vader's helmet is and like the lore 0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:04.680 behind it. But you know, I know that you knew 0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:07.800 quite a bit about it. Being from a background of 0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:10.680 making props and costumes myself, I find that stuff kind 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:15.320 of fascinating because it's a collaboration of form and functionality 0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:19.919 as well as esthetics. I remember reading when Ralph mccorin 0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:23.199 originally designed Vader's helmet. The idea was that he was 0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:25.639 going to be coming onto the Rebel ship and it 0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:27.520 was just going to basically be an e v a 0:19:27.600 --> 0:19:29.400 suit helmet and he was going to take it off, 0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:30.840 and that was the only part where we're going to 0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:35.040 ever see that so radical different departure. I wonder what. 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:38.040 I guess they just found it more than like the 0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:41.520 actor underneath it, Like they just found it more terrifying 0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:44.760 to have his helmet stay on the entire time. Definitely, 0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:48.520 because what you can't see is always scary, right, because 0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:52.120 it's it's not fear, and it's it's emotionless. So you're 0:19:52.160 --> 0:19:55.760 talking to that person that's under the mask, and you're like, 0:19:56.160 --> 0:19:58.760 what are they thinking right now? I'm getting nothing, but 0:19:58.880 --> 0:20:01.960 I'm it's petrified. Plus, you got to imagine, back in 0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:05.720 ninety seven, no one knew anything about this universe. So 0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:08.159 here's this guy all cloaked in black with his helmet. 0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:10.240 Is even a human? Is he a robot? We didn't 0:20:10.280 --> 0:20:12.239 know these things back then. Well, what about you were 0:20:12.240 --> 0:20:14.480 saying that it was a samurai inspired which I totally 0:20:14.520 --> 0:20:17.480 forgot about. It was a lot of Ralph mccorn's work 0:20:18.000 --> 0:20:22.719 were notes from lucas uh Uh samurai inspired, as well 0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:25.840 as Japanese culture in general, you know, clerical robes and 0:20:25.920 --> 0:20:29.760 things of that nature. Yeah, so, uh, it looks here. 0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:32.639 This is from force material dot com, where they actually 0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:35.840 have an entire article on the origin of Darth Vader, 0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:41.119 the look and and here they say that, Uh, for Vader, 0:20:41.160 --> 0:20:43.680 they dressed a model in a black motorcycle suit, a 0:20:43.800 --> 0:20:46.960 Nazi helmet, a gas mask, and amongst cloak they found 0:20:47.000 --> 0:20:50.480 in the costumer's middle ages department. And honestly, it does 0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:53.760 like I'm looking at their helmets that is like, looks 0:20:53.800 --> 0:20:57.840 just like Vader's helmet. Um. And then I think there 0:20:57.920 --> 0:21:01.240 was another thing where they were going to They had 0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:03.960 the eyes open and decided to cover the eyes, which 0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:06.200 I also think is smart, like you were saying, Wendy, 0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:11.080 for emotional purposes. It's like you can't see the person's eyes. 0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:14.680 It's almost scarier. It's almost scarier because then you can't 0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:19.760 connect with them at all, you know, then they're like inhuman. Yeah, 0:21:20.040 --> 0:21:22.920 that's actually scarier to me. Those are always the type 0:21:22.920 --> 0:21:25.920 of Okay, so I love horror as if he knows, 0:21:25.960 --> 0:21:29.920 and I love all of the horror um, Halloween horror nights. 0:21:30.040 --> 0:21:31.840 Those never scare me. But the thing that I don't 0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:35.800 like is anything that's inhuman because you can't reason with it. 0:21:37.480 --> 0:21:40.680 Like zombies for some reason, they get me because it's 0:21:40.720 --> 0:21:45.000 just like you can't reason anyways, They're just gonna come 0:21:45.000 --> 0:21:48.199 to eat your brain. Yeah, And I also do like 0:21:48.320 --> 0:21:51.280 that with Vader. They added on I was talking about 0:21:51.400 --> 0:21:54.800 texture earlier, and we're talking about how they also, you know, 0:21:54.880 --> 0:21:57.240 kind of used a little bit of that Moto Cross 0:21:57.400 --> 0:22:00.399 motorcycle jacket and kind of a texture. So see it 0:22:00.480 --> 0:22:03.760 from I think it's like a jumpsuit that he wears 0:22:03.800 --> 0:22:06.760 amongst everything else. And you have this like very sleek 0:22:06.960 --> 0:22:10.840 leather like material that has long white stitches, so it's 0:22:10.880 --> 0:22:13.040 not really white stitches, but stitches going down the arms 0:22:13.080 --> 0:22:16.320 all the way down to the pants or to defeat. 0:22:16.400 --> 0:22:19.400 And it's just I love seeing that. You know, it's 0:22:19.400 --> 0:22:22.280 not one tone, it's all black, but there it's three 0:22:22.359 --> 0:22:25.119 D and essentially, yeah, definitely there's a lot of textas 0:22:25.160 --> 0:22:28.080 and a lot of layers going on. I just love 0:22:28.160 --> 0:22:30.480 the idea that he like takes off, he gets angry 0:22:30.480 --> 0:22:33.800 and storms off on a motorcycle, just has like guns 0:22:33.800 --> 0:22:39.560 and roses, gay and it's Kate just like behind him. Iconic. 0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:43.119 Another thing that they're mentioned in this article is also 0:22:43.520 --> 0:22:45.679
