1
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha, and I'll put my stuff.

2
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: I've never told your protection of iHeartRadio and as mentioned

3
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: or will be mentioned, the calendar's a mess in my head.

4
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: I wanted to bring back this classic on Ahsoka Tano

5
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: because the show is coming out, the live action show,

6
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: it's highly anticipated. Not currently a sponsor. Kind of feels

7
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:41,520
Speaker 1: strange during strike to watch and know what was probably

8
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: going on during that and what streaming companies are doing.

9
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: But I think it's going to be pretty impactful on

10
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: the Star Wars universe. And I do think this character

11
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: is really interesting because she went from one of the

12
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: most hated characters to one of the most beloved characters

13
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: to a character I think a lot of people feel

14
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: have mixed emotions on not that they don't like her,

15
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: but I guess they're kind of like the merchandising is

16
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 1: too much. I don't know, kind of like really too hard,

17
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: all right. Yeah, it's just been interesting to see the

18
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: timeline of her development, both as a character but also

19
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: fan attitudes around her. Don't getting wrong. People are really

20
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: really excited, but I guess some of that has come

21
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 1: with the cost of like But I also like these

22
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: other characters, and now I can't get anything any books,

23
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 1: are any material around these other characters. So you know

24
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: that's the risk you play. Okay, yes, yeah, but I'm

25
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: I'm sure that I will have more to say once

26
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: we get to the other side of this series. But

27
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: in the meantime, please enjoy this classic episode. Hey, this

28
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,840

00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: eve of the anniversary of a New Hope forty five

35
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: years I believe. And I actually bought Samantha. I bought

36
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: a magazine. What I was checking out, I want to

37
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: go get groceries today, and there was a magazine that

38
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: was all about Star Wars. I was like, okay, well

39
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: I'm buying.

40
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: This immediately had to, didn't you, Yeah.

41
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: I did. It was embarrassing because I was like wearing

42
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 1: a Star Wars shirt and I had my Star Wars

43
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: mag I was like, I hope purchased this Star Wars magazine. Please,

Speaker 1: that's that right? Yeah? It is? It is, and yes,

45
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: Kenoby the show I'll be one Kenobi is either it

46
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: comes out May twenty seven, so this is a little

47
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: early if you're listening to it right when it comes out.

48
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 1: But it is finally time to cover ah Soka Tanno,

49
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: as we've long teased and some of you have written

50
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: in about. So here it is, and this is the

51
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: last Star Wars entry for a while, I promise, unless

52
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: like something else I really have to talk about comes

53
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: out or if you have request.

54
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 2: But soa show coming soon there is.

55
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,679
Speaker 1: Right, I know we will talk about it. Well, they're

56
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: going to be really prepared. Yes, And as with these

57
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: Star Wars ones, just because I felt like it was

58
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: sort of, i don't know, not great of me to

59
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: throw Samantha under the bush and make her talk about

60
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: something when I was one that really wanted to talk

61
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: about it, I'm going to run through this and if

62
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: you have any question love it, just let me know

63
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: I love it, all right. So Ahsoka Tano is a

64
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: force sensitive Tortuga woman who was the one time Jedi

65
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: padawan to Anakin Skywacker aka Darth Vader. She's a dual

66
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: lightsaber user. She has two white light sabers, which is

67
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: actually interesting we're gonna talk about in the minute, but she

68
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: also uses reverse grip and the headdress she wears denotes

69
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: the skills that she has. It's kind of like a warrior.

70
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: You have to do that, you have to earn that

71
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 1: through being a warrior. Many call her a gray Jedi,

72
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: as in she's not like total light user, not a

73
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: dark user, but kind of a gray in between. She

74
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: was first introduced in the animated show Star Wars The

75
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: Clone Wars, which first debuted in two thousand and eight

76
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: and takes place between the films Attack of the Clones

77
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: and Revenge of the Sith and shortly after. She was

78
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: sort of famously a really hated character at first. She

79
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: went from somebody everyone hated to a character that was

80
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: beloved by fans. You can find whole YouTube videos about it,

81
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: essays about how it happened, and you know, I recommend

82
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: it if you're at all interested, but there is a

83
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 1: lot of information out there about how that happened. Rosario

84
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: Dawson plays her in live action Star Wars media, including

85
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: the Mandalorian book A Boba Fett and yes, the upcoming

86
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: show Ahsoka. She is also featured in E. K. Johnson's

87
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 1: book Star Wars. Ahsoka creator and writer Dave Filoni and

88
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: George Lucas wanted a prominent female Jedi to appeal to girls,

89
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: and that was where kind of the impetus for Ahsoka.

90
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: And yeah, they just kind of made big headlines that

91
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: they're filming Ahsoka right now. They just started filming. Interesting

92
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,799
Speaker 1: stuff about the name. George Lucas originally wanted the name

93
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: to be Ashla, which he describes as the light side

94
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: of the force. However, they pivoted to Ahsoka, perhaps after

95
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 1: Ahsoka the Great, who was an emperor of India during

96
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: the third century BCE, who legend has it, personally decapitated

97
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: five hundred of his ministers, burned five hundred concubines alive,

98
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 1: and built a torture chamber called Ahsoka's Hell that people

99
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: allegedly said was so sadistic. Ahsoka personally he went to

100
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: hell to learn how to make it. Ahsoka started a

101
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: war that resulted in one hundred thousand casualties, and the

102
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: violence reached such a level that Ahsoka converted to Buddhism,

103
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: notably the inspiration for Jedism. Ahsoka became known as Ahsoka.

104
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: The Righteous People think the overall influence of this figure

105
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 1: in the story is as someone who witnessed evil and

106
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: turned away from war, which is kind of what happens.

107
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: And apparently georgiak Is really lobbied for a reserve Dawson

108
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: to play. He really wanted her to play it. And

109
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: also allegedly her first design was high heeled boots and

110
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: a pleated skirt. So I'm glad that kind of went

111
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: a different way. I guess it could have worked. But yeah,

112
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: but why but why exactly? Yeah, I like the direction

113
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 1: they went, So let's get into the history. By the

114
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: age of three, Ahsoka started showing signs of force sensitivity.

115
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: Jedi Master Plo Kuhn was sent to investigate, though he

116
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: was intercepted by an impostor who almost enslaved Tosca, but

117
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: Plo Kun arrived in time and took her to the

118
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: Jedi Temple and Chorissant for training. At the onset of

119
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: the Clone Wars, Grand Master Yoda assigned her to be

120
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: Anakin Skywalker's padawan, who definitely he definitely didn't want to

121
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: Padawan and tried to pass her off to Obi wan

122
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: h I do take her. Anakin called her snips in

123
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: acknowledgment that she is a lot like him. And by

124
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: the way, Yoda hoped mentoring Ahsoka would mellow Anakin out,

125
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: and no, nope, it did not. Their relationship started off

126
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: a bit rocky. Ahsoka was eager to prove herself while

127
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: Anakin was reckless, but over time they came to work

128
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: really well together and they really respected each other. On

129
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: top of that, she earned the title of Commander in

130
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: the Grand Army of the Republic, and through that the

131
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: respect of the Clone Army, in particular that of Captain

132
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: Rex the five hundred and first, the five of first,

133
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: who became something of a mentor to her. She disobeyed

134
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: orders in her first assignment as leader and lost an

135
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: entire score quadron of pilots, but she rebounded from this

136
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: loss and was key in winning the Battle of Ryelof.

137
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: I love that some of this is just like washing

138
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: over people's heade. What It's all a sake, don't worry

139
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: about it. You get the basic premise. Yeah. As a patawan,

140
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: she dealt with the Sith Apprentice of Ventures Bounty hunters

141
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: like cab Baine and at one point died what was

142
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: brought back to life by the personification of the Light

143
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: Side of the Force, who sacrificed herself to save Ahsoka.

144
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: And that episode is like very strange, but essentially that

145
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: was not good for what is to come. Anyway, she

146
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,599
Speaker 1: helped train Sawgerera and his sister, worked with Chewbacca to

147
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: escape a planet where people are hunted for sport, and

148
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: help some Jedi younglings escape from their captors. However, she

149
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: was framed for a bombing at the Jedi Temple Hangar

150
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: and for a few murders on top of that. She

151
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: managed to escape into the underd of Coroissant and partners

152
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 1: with Bentris to clear her slash their names. Eventually, Ahsoka

153
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: was detained and banished from the Jedi Order. Anakin, with

154
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: the help of Padme, who was a good friend of Ahsoka's,

155
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: was determined to prove her innocence, and he uncovered the

156
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 1: true culprit was Padawan barris Offi, a friend of Ahsoka's

157
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: and fan fiction tells me they were in love. But anyway,

158
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: through this, Ahsoka was not convicted and Ahsoka was invited

159
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: by the Jedi High Council to rejoin the Order, but

160
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: she refused because she was hurt and disillusioned. Anakin begs

161
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: her to stay, but she walks the way down the

162
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: steps at the Jedi Temple and you're like, no, cause

163
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: he's even more isolated. Oh gosh, And you do see

164
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: an interesting perspective from her time, as she's an outcast

165
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: hearing about people's feelings on the war, jued Jedi, caisson,

166
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: et cetera.

167
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 2: Feel like she might have died had she stayed.

168
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean, well he killed everyone. Well, and

169
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: then it's so tragic because he made her a promise

170
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: and he said, I will never let anyone hurt you.

171
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: And you're like, oh no, no, no, lies, it's very sad.

172
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: It's very sad. She did briefly come back to work

173
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: with the Republic. On the siege of Mandalor, she asked

174
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: for the help of Anakin and Obi went after a

175
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: tense reunion, but they were on their way to save

176
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 1: Chancellor Palpatine, who had been kidnapped. They sent a battalion

177
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: of some clones with her instead, and she faced off

178
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: with Darth Maul, who was in possession of the Dark

179
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: Saber and the ruler of Mandelor, and she bested and

180
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: captured him. Shortly after this, though, Order sixty six was enacted,

181
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: which is when the Clones turned on all the Jedi

182
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: because of chips in their heads, and so Ahsoka, who

183
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: was really good friends with most of the Clones in

184
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: her battalion, was attacked by them. She is able to

185
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: free res from the chip control at least Mal directs

186
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 1: the ship there on to crash, and Ahsoka a rex

187
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 1: grave markers for the fallen Clones, leaving her lightsabers behind

188
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: so it looks like she had died too, and then

189
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: goes into hiding. Darth Vader finds this space of her

190
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 1: supposed death and stares at it and it's like, hmmm,

191
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: I don't know, okay. But then we move into the

192
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: next phase of her time. In her life, with the

193
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: rise of the Empire, Ahsoka proved instrumental in organizing rebel cells.

194
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: She joined Bill Organa's burgeoning movement against the Empire, and

195
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: as part of this she rows up to manage the

196
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: intelligence network under the code name Fulcrum. She provided information

197
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: to the rebels, including Harris and Doula and the Ghost Crew,

198
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: who she took a particular interest in due to Jedaik

199
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: Canaan Jerris and his patawan Ezra Bridger. She also briefly

200
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: crossed past with Leah Organa. She reunited with Rex and

201
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 1: confronted Imperial inquisitors and Darth Vader, who unbeknownst to her

202
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: was Anakin skywalker. During her duel with him on Malakor,

203
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: she was believed to have died, but in a plot

204
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: line that may have broken the Star Wars universe and

205
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure Slash Terrified is going to come back.

206
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 1: Perhaps in this obi Wan show, she was saved from

207
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 1: death by an Ezra Bridger from the future. Okay, so

208
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 1: in the so called world between worlds, she confronted Darcidius,

209
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: Emperor Palpatine, who wanted to control this dimension and return

210
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 1: to her time, and promised Ezra she'd find him in

211
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: the future. I don't think about it too hard, heart

212
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: your brain, I promise. Once the Galactic Civil War came

213
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: to an end, she joined up with Sabine Wren, who

214
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: we just did an episode on to find Ezra. To

215
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: that end, we see her in the Mandalorian the show,

216
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: which was an episode that almost crashed hiss Andy Plus

217
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: by the way. She is searching for information on Grand

218
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: Admiral Throun, who Ezra disappeared with and who was one

219
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: of the main villains of the Legends universe, and now

220
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 1: I guess also the Disney canon whatever. She worked alongside

221
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: the Mandalorian Dendajaran and refused to train baby Ota slash

222
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: Goku due to his attachment to den in the darkness

223
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 1: she sensed within him. Later, she visited Luke Skywalker's Jedi

224
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: Temple and book a Boba Fett and once again warned

225
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: Dan about the dangers of attachment and the difference between

226
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: Mandalorian foundlings and Jedi Padawans, which is interesting because she

227
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: knows a lot about both. And don't even talk to

228
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: me about how they introduced Lucnahsoka offscreen because I'm still

229
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: salty's hell about it. I'm so mad. Did you explain

230
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: that to me? Because I feel like you did explain

231
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: that to me? What that they met off screen?

232
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 2: No?

233
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 1: No, they just were like, oh, I guess we know

234
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: each other now, So that's what you were saying.

235
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 2: They don't have a plot line, They just moving on

236
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 2: with it.

237
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, there was oh wow, Oh maybe I'm so

238
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: mad about it. I was like waiting for this and

239
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: I never thought it would happen, and then for it

240
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: to happen like that. Yep. No.

241
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 2: Did you see the recent picture though of no Hammel

242
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 2: Grogu the stand in Rosario Dawson.

243
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: I did not see it, Like my heart was broken.

244
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: I do think like if this episode, if I wanted

245
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: it to go on and on, I would talk like

246
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: I would talk about the trauma here of her probably

247
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: seeing what happened to Anakin and Darth Vader and being

248
00:14:53,000 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: so like, no, Dutchmans is not good, very bad. She

249
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: did also join several Jedi voices in Rise of Skywalker

250
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: when Ray reached out to them in her battle against Palpatine,

251
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: which suggests she is dead by this point because they're

252
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: Force ghost. However, creator Dave Filoni te's that this is

253
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: not the case. And that's a heavy sigh from me

254
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: because I'm so tired of them killing allf somebody and

255
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: then bringing them back stopped. Anyway, who she is a

256
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: really interesting character, and I like in culin War she

257
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: kind of she did become the focus and like Anakin

258
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: was the side character, and so I thought that was

259
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: an interesting way to do it, because you as the

260
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: viewer know what's going on with him and all this stuff,

261
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: and like their final conversation is pretty upbeat, or least

262
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: one of their final conversations, not the last one, but

263
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: you see it through her eyes. And then to have

264
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: I've seen things that kind of bothered me about how

265
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: like if only she and left, they do that with

266
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: padme too. If only she hadn't done this, he wouldn't

267
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: have turned. He still did it, Like I get it,

268
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: but it's not up to her to keep him from

269
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: doing what. She was his student, right, That's the thing.

270
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 2: He's like, I don't know if anything would have changed.

271
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 2: I know that this is a build up of things,

272
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 2: but he also had someone like digging into.

273
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: His brain, right, right, And then there were a lot

274
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: of failures in the system and with other characters. But

275
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: it's not like her walking away because she felt betrayed

276
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: is like, oh, well, it's her fault.

277
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 2: No.

278
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: I'm also kind of I'm intrigued what they're going to

279
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: do with the show, because they feel like her live

280
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: action version and her kind of cartoon animated version don't

281
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: necessarily match, and there's a lot of years in between that,

282
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: so maybe they'll explain why she's she seems to be

283
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: a bit I mean, it could just be Vader, but

284
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 1: she seems to be a lot more like cynical and darker.

285
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: She still has kind of a lightness to her, but

286
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: I'll be curious to see how that goes. Well, gosh, now,

287
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: I just want to talk about this trauma so much,

288
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: But all right, this is it for now. Yes, well,

289
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: I hope that you enjoyed this. I hope it was

290
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: informative if you're interested in this character who has become

291
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: very beloved. And yeah, I hope that you enjoy the show.

292
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 1: We'll well, I'm sure we'll revisit it in the future.

293
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,119
