<v Speaker 1>Love that coming up Leon Okay, First up in trailer mcgeddon,

0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:10.200
<v Speaker 1>let's start with the Blue Beetle trailer. Release date August eighteenth,

0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:13.120
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty three. Do we count this as like the

0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:15.319
<v Speaker 1>first official.

0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:18.559
<v Speaker 2>I believe James Gunn said this was where it begins

0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:21.480
<v Speaker 2>it begins even though Superman, which is I believe twenty

0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:23.680
<v Speaker 2>twenty five and we'll got the Batman two that year

0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:26.560
<v Speaker 2>is the official first James Gun. He did say in

0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:29.160
<v Speaker 2>that big announcement that post a flash this is the

0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:34.080
<v Speaker 2>first kind of soft launch of the of the DC.

0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:36.240
<v Speaker 1>And if that is, it looks really looks great.

0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:38.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm excited for it. Like it's it's got a real

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:42.640
<v Speaker 2>nineties like zero early zeries. He's got superpowers and he's

0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 2>got to deal with them. It's very I love it.

0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:47.640
<v Speaker 1>It's a classic origin story, the likes of which we

0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:49.240
<v Speaker 1>really have not seen in a while.

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:51.680
<v Speaker 2>No, and it looks really charming. There's a lot of

0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:54.480
<v Speaker 2>humor to it. I love that moment where he gets

0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:56.600
<v Speaker 2>the scarab and it kind of jumps on his face

0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:57.760
<v Speaker 2>and his whole family's just is.

0:01:57.720 --> 0:01:59.240
<v Speaker 1>On your face, Oh my god, get it.

0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:03.080
<v Speaker 2>Off, and horror elements of the suit. Yeah, it looks great.

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:06.600
<v Speaker 2>I love Sholo from you know Cobra Kai so charming.

0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:07.880
<v Speaker 2>I love to see him in a role like this.

0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:11.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad Warner Brothers was so excited to make it

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:14.840
<v Speaker 2>a theatrical instead of shiring it like back out. Harvey

0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:16.440
<v Speaker 2>gianna Is in this movie and we don't know who

0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:19.600
<v Speaker 2>he's playing. I'm hoping he's playing Ted Cord because we

0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:22.079
<v Speaker 2>get to see how I may outside the Cord building.

0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:24.280
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, I just think this looks like a ton

0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:27.800
<v Speaker 2>of fun. And I love that he makes that big

0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:31.080
<v Speaker 2>like anime sword at the end. It just yeah, just

0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:33.080
<v Speaker 2>all good stuff. It made me feel really good watching

0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:34.880
<v Speaker 2>this movie, and I wanted to see more.

0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:38.160
<v Speaker 1>I think, all listen, if you have a power like

0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:41.280
<v Speaker 1>the Green Lantern or the Blue Beetle, which allows you

0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:44.760
<v Speaker 1>to create matter from your thoughts, if you're not doing

0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:47.040
<v Speaker 1>a swort every time, then what are we doing?

0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:50.440
<v Speaker 2>Literally? Especially, I feel like you hit on one of

0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:53.240
<v Speaker 2>my biggest issues with Green Lantern, which is every single

0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:56.080
<v Speaker 2>green landing can just imagine like a fist or a gun.

0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:58.280
<v Speaker 1>What are we doing fists like this?

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:00.960
<v Speaker 2>It like please that you have literally the power of

0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:05.440
<v Speaker 2>your imagination, a carnival like the big Fi, a giant

0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:07.440
<v Speaker 2>gun you have, you don't need that, come on, guys.

0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:12.040
<v Speaker 2>So the fact that he's the comps, the fact that

0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.120
<v Speaker 2>he's thinking outside the box and he's coming up from

0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:17.359
<v Speaker 2>the giant Bersark style sword. I was a big fan,

0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:19.520
<v Speaker 2>just looks great. I can't wait to see it, and

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:24.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm very excited at the potential concept that this could

0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:28.320
<v Speaker 2>be a kind of tone setter for what's to come.

0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Same same and very excited to get into the gun

0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:34.520
<v Speaker 1>A verse and next up across the Spider Verse, the

0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:38.400
<v Speaker 1>sequel to into the Spider Verse at least stay June second,

0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:42.480
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty three. I mean, I don't even need to

0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:45.320
<v Speaker 1>see the trailer. I love the trailer.

0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:47.120
<v Speaker 2>You need to see it to see.

0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 1>It because I'm I loved into the Spider Verse.

0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:51.720
<v Speaker 2>So let's be real. Best Spider Man movie ever made.

0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:54.480
<v Speaker 1>I think so, one of the greatest comic book movies

0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 1>period ever made. And this is gonna be fantastic.

0:03:57.720 --> 0:03:59.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, you've got every kind of you got

0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:02.720
<v Speaker 2>Ghost Spider. Let's be real Spider Gwen, sorry, Marvel. Miles

0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:06.240
<v Speaker 2>Morale is obviously miguela Horror which is really interesting because that's,

0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:08.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, Spider Man twenty ninety nine, who we saw

0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:10.120
<v Speaker 2>at the end of the movie, who we're now seeing

0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:12.640
<v Speaker 2>in what seems to be more of an antagonistic role

0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:14.960
<v Speaker 2>that we saw Peter B. Parker, we saw his baby

0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:18.359
<v Speaker 2>may Day Parker. We saw Spider Woman, which is Isa

0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:21.080
<v Speaker 2>Ray there's spot who's going to be the villain kind

0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:26.400
<v Speaker 2>of you're hilarious, like unexpected, weird multiversal villain. There's so

0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:30.240
<v Speaker 2>many Spider manut Paveter Parker like the Spider Man.

0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:35.000
<v Speaker 1>India shouts to our good friend Cody Zigzig Spider park

0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:35.800
<v Speaker 1>in the movie.

0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:38.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean it looks so good, and I kind

0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:41.560
<v Speaker 2>of love we didn't really know much about the story

0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:43.680
<v Speaker 2>before this, because I feel like they knew that we

0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:45.360
<v Speaker 2>didn't really need to. You want to go there, you

0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:48.160
<v Speaker 2>want to see that experimental animation that basically changed the game,

0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:50.680
<v Speaker 2>Puss in Boots. It was taken for a Spider of Us,

0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:53.080
<v Speaker 2>the Bad Guys, taken for a Spider of Us. Mitchell's

0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:54.839
<v Speaker 2>Vessel's machine made by a lot of the same team,

0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:57.360
<v Speaker 2>obviously taken from a Spider of Us. But I love

0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:02.520
<v Speaker 2>the idea that what seems to be happening in this

0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:05.360
<v Speaker 2>movie and what's creating the conflict is the idea that

0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:09.279
<v Speaker 2>Miles basically has to go through a family lost tragedy,

0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:12.640
<v Speaker 2>because if you don't lose your uncle Ben, you never

0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:15.719
<v Speaker 2>become Spider Man. And I love this idea that Miles

0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:17.680
<v Speaker 2>is going to go against that, and it's going to

0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:20.480
<v Speaker 2>cause this potential multiversal collapse. We also get a direct

0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:23.239
<v Speaker 2>reference to the MCU here they talk about what happened

0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:26.160
<v Speaker 2>in uh, you know, Spider Man, No Way Home. They

0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:29.240
<v Speaker 2>reference the real Earth designation not six one six, you

0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:32.560
<v Speaker 2>know Earth one nine nine or whatever it is. So yeah,

0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:35.240
<v Speaker 2>I just more multiversal fun. And the animation looks amazing.

0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:37.360
<v Speaker 2>I can't wait to see you know, Zig and Justin

0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:41.200
<v Speaker 2>Mason Spider Punk up. They're played by Daniel Kalua London Icon,

0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:45.600
<v Speaker 2>So I'm happy about that. I mean, looks absolutely unbelievable.

0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:48.120
<v Speaker 2>The kind of trailer you just want to immediately watch again. Actually,

0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:50.600
<v Speaker 2>both of these I think comple. They give you that

0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:54.480
<v Speaker 2>real good, exciting feeling where you just wanna know more.

0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:56.320
<v Speaker 2>I want to see may Day Parker. I want to

0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:58.680
<v Speaker 2>see all the different Peter Parkers. I love. Actually, another

0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:02.360
<v Speaker 2>thing me away in this trailer when they introduced Ben

0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:05.520
<v Speaker 2>Riley for a controversial Spider Man figure.

0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:07.200
<v Speaker 1>You know Ben has been grown on me.

0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:09.599
<v Speaker 2>Well, they've been doing a lot Ben, They've been doing a.

0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:12.719
<v Speaker 1>Lot of Ben work lately. Ben an early clone of

0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Spider Man who's got his own thing going on.

0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:17.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was kind of a huge reveal was that

0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:19.280
<v Speaker 2>he had been Spider Man all along, and it was

0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:23.159
<v Speaker 2>really controversial. He has this cool, like very nineties jean jacket.

0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:25.880
<v Speaker 2>But when they show him in the movie, in the trailer,

0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:27.680
<v Speaker 2>when you pause it, I mean, it looks like it's

0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:30.080
<v Speaker 2>directly too d out of a comic book. Just the

0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:34.320
<v Speaker 2>most beautiful, interesting stuff and so many incredible people worked

0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:37.600
<v Speaker 2>on this. I can't wait to see it. It looks absolutely brilliant.

0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:41.000
<v Speaker 1>And then finally on Jesney Plus Secret Invasion release date

0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:45.280
<v Speaker 1>June twenty, first first episode of a six episode series.

0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:50.719
<v Speaker 1>We didn't get too much more from this, No, I'm

0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:54.760
<v Speaker 1>very excited for it. It feels like a tonal reset kind

0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:57.200
<v Speaker 1>of obviously, you know, Fury coming back in that kind

0:06:57.240 --> 0:07:04.000
<v Speaker 1>of winter soldier, conspiracy, spy, Marvel vibe. This trailer dropped

0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:10.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of concurrently with a big Anthony Bresnacan exclusive photos.

0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:14.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, that felt very much like, Hey, guys, don't worry.

0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:17.120
<v Speaker 1>I know there's been a lot of I know there's

0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:20.760
<v Speaker 1>been a lot of bed stories about are wares out

0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:21.840
<v Speaker 1>there lately, But don't worry.

0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:26.680
<v Speaker 2>These words are shiny again. Yeah, it looks very ultimate,

0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:31.400
<v Speaker 2>very early phases of Marvel, where it's very grounded spy

0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 2>version secresy. I love Samuel Jackson's Nick furious one not

0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:39.000
<v Speaker 2>all time great casting, so I love that. I have

0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:41.800
<v Speaker 2>to say, look, when I think of Secret Invasion, it's

0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:46.640
<v Speaker 2>hard for me to separate it from the immensity of

0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:49.600
<v Speaker 2>the comic books and what that meant, which was who

0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:53.480
<v Speaker 2>can you trust? Who is really which characters that you love.

0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:54.360
<v Speaker 1>Have been.

0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:58.800
<v Speaker 2>Years and you've been supporting them, You've been buying those issues,

0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:01.440
<v Speaker 2>You've been following their adventures, and it's not them. I

0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:05.160
<v Speaker 2>feel like currently what they're showing us is lacking that

0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:08.320
<v Speaker 2>impact for me. But Fike has always said this will

0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:12.960
<v Speaker 2>be a more intimate, small scale espionage thriller, so I'm

0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:15.400
<v Speaker 2>interested in it. I love that Nick's not wearing the

0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:17.600
<v Speaker 2>eye patch now, he's just he's living it up. He's

0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:21.160
<v Speaker 2>showing off the cool, you know, flirkin scar, and I'm

0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:22.720
<v Speaker 2>sure it's going to be great. I'm seeing a lot

0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:24.960
<v Speaker 2>of Kobe smotherers, so I'm still sticking by the fact

0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:26.800
<v Speaker 2>that I truly believe you are correct and that she

0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:29.280
<v Speaker 2>will be the scroll that we all know. I will

0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:33.920
<v Speaker 2>say another thing that I'm hoping to see them subvert here.

0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:36.880
<v Speaker 2>It does look like we're getting the old classic there's

0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:38.920
<v Speaker 2>a radical and it's played by a black actor, and

0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:41.720
<v Speaker 2>there they've got really believable good goals, but they're gonna

0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:43.680
<v Speaker 2>blow some people up so you can't support them. So

0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:45.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm hoping we get something a little bit different with

0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:48.920
<v Speaker 2>the Scrolls, but it'll be interesting. Revealed in that Vanity

0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:54.840
<v Speaker 2>Fair article that Amelia Clark is playing Talos's daughter, Yeah,

0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:56.840
<v Speaker 2>and not you know, Abigail Brand, which I think a

0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:59.040
<v Speaker 2>lot of people thought though as somebody in our discord

0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:01.160
<v Speaker 2>pointed out, she could be Abigail Brand.

0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:04.520
<v Speaker 1>She could be anyway, and also she could.

0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:06.320
<v Speaker 2>Be a scroll in the guys about her, you know,

0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:09.520
<v Speaker 2>so who knows. But yeah, very interesting. I think there

0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:14.400
<v Speaker 2>is an immense amount of pressure on this project, and

0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:17.560
<v Speaker 2>I feel like they're behaving in quite a sensible way

0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:20.680
<v Speaker 2>that has learned from things like say, Multive's a Madness,

0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:23.959
<v Speaker 2>which I loved, but these movies where they made Ann

0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:25.840
<v Speaker 2>in the Wasp, where they made people feel like it

0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:28.480
<v Speaker 2>was going to be a groundbreaking earth sharing event, and

0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:31.240
<v Speaker 2>it didn't necessarily live up to that in the way

0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:34.679
<v Speaker 2>that people expected. I think going low key with the

0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:36.600
<v Speaker 2>tone of this and just saying this is just going

0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:39.640
<v Speaker 2>to be a spy adventure. I think it's smart and

0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:42.240
<v Speaker 2>I think it will eventually pay off. I hope that

0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:47.880
<v Speaker 2>this hits in a more impactful way than The Falcon

0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:49.320
<v Speaker 2>of the Winter Soldier did for me, which is like

0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:51.760
<v Speaker 2>one of my least favorite Marvel shows. But the fact

0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:53.480
<v Speaker 2>that you know you have Sam at the center, it's

0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:55.320
<v Speaker 2>like you just know it's going to be a good time.

0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Did anything here change your thoughts about who may or

0:09:58.559 --> 0:09:59.319
<v Speaker 1>may not be a Scroll?

0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:04.520
<v Speaker 2>My biggest thought coming out of this was actually that

0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:06.480
<v Speaker 2>they might not do that at all. I think that

0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:07.480
<v Speaker 2>they showed.

0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:09.920
<v Speaker 1>The I worryingly felt the same way the.

0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:12.120
<v Speaker 2>Kingsley Bendea character, who's going to be this kind of

0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:14.520
<v Speaker 2>Scroll rebel leader. It seemed like they were almost doing

0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:16.880
<v Speaker 2>a Mister Smith thing with him, where there were multiple

0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:19.200
<v Speaker 2>versions of him who's shape shifting into the same guy.

0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:21.800
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know if they are going to do

0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:26.720
<v Speaker 2>the Secret Invasion classic iteration and instead we're going to

0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:28.520
<v Speaker 2>see the Scrolls use their shape shifting stuff in a

0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:29.160
<v Speaker 2>different way.

0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:32.040
<v Speaker 1>I think what we are going to see in Secret

0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:34.080
<v Speaker 1>Invasion is the birth of the super Scroll.

0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:35.560
<v Speaker 2>Yes, okay, let's talk about that.

0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:38.480
<v Speaker 1>I think all the lab stuff that we're seeing is

0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:44.720
<v Speaker 1>the Scrolls, the extremist sect of the Scrolls, who are invading,

0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:48.440
<v Speaker 1>who are doing the invasion or taking over various for

0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:52.240
<v Speaker 1>various powerful people in Earth's government. I think that they

0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:56.120
<v Speaker 1>saw the superheroes of Earth and they said, Okay, we

0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:58.680
<v Speaker 1>got to figure that out. Yeah, have to Like shape

0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:01.000
<v Speaker 1>shifting is cool, but why don't we have like why

0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:04.200
<v Speaker 1>can't we fly? Why can't I punch somebody's And I

0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:08.680
<v Speaker 1>think that they are trying to create powers, and I

0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:10.960
<v Speaker 1>think we're going to see that's who, that's who. Uh,

0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:14.080
<v Speaker 1>Gravic Kingsley Bendere is going to be is the first two.

0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:17.640
<v Speaker 2>I think that's right now. That seems kind of strange

0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:20.320
<v Speaker 2>because the super Sculls are so deeply connected to the

0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:23.640
<v Speaker 2>Fantastic Four in the comics. But I will say we

0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:27.080
<v Speaker 2>get a moment with Kingsley Benedet's character Gravic where his

0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:29.760
<v Speaker 2>arms go towards and it's almost it looks I felt

0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:32.400
<v Speaker 2>like it looked quite read rich esy, but as I've

0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:34.679
<v Speaker 2>seen lots of smart people point out, it looks a

0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:37.000
<v Speaker 2>lot like Group's powers. Yeah, which is kind of this

0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:41.360
<v Speaker 2>interesting idea, like the ten drills going out. So I

0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:44.880
<v Speaker 2>do wonder if maybe this could be connected to Power Broker, if,

0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:48.000
<v Speaker 2>as some people kind of suggested, Agent thirteen was actually

0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:51.240
<v Speaker 2>a scroll in disguise. Maybe the scrolls have been collecting

0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:54.760
<v Speaker 2>people's powers or the DNA of people who have powers

0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:57.040
<v Speaker 2>and trying to create this you know, super scroll in

0:11:57.080 --> 0:11:59.080
<v Speaker 2>a new way. Kang also does exist. Now that's a

0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:02.760
<v Speaker 2>direct linear to the Fantastic Four. So I think you're right.

0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:04.839
<v Speaker 2>I think that the super Scroll may be the kind

0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:09.000
<v Speaker 2>of super sciencey element in this rather grounded space.

0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:12.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm sad. I want someone big to be a scroll.

0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:16.240
<v Speaker 2>Me too. Let's be real. Let's be real. There's six episodes.

0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:21.440
<v Speaker 2>This is the MCU that I there could be a

0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:24.520
<v Speaker 2>shocking surprise if we just look at the cast, right,

0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:26.800
<v Speaker 2>So you've got Everett k Ross definitely could be a

0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:31.400
<v Speaker 2>scroll scroll, but who it's not that huge impact. I

0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:34.120
<v Speaker 2>wonder if we look at who's actually in this we

0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:36.680
<v Speaker 2>know that Rody is going to be in this movie,

0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:40.040
<v Speaker 2>that would be I think the only person that they

0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:43.880
<v Speaker 2>could have that gut punch impact. But that would also

0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:45.680
<v Speaker 2>probably take away from whatever he's trying to do with

0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:48.160
<v Speaker 2>Armor Wars, which I assume they will try to tie

0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:50.560
<v Speaker 2>into this crea skull war the way things are.

0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:53.800
<v Speaker 1>Going, Rody actually died after the airport fight in Germany.

0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:57.319
<v Speaker 2>How that's the kind of shame where people would be

0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:01.040
<v Speaker 2>losing their mind. But you know, there is out scroll

0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:04.280
<v Speaker 2>history and the way that scroll ship shifts. There are

0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:07.640
<v Speaker 2>people who spend time among humans and become allied with them,

0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:09.600
<v Speaker 2>And we've kind of already got that a little bit

0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:11.960
<v Speaker 2>with Taloso that wasn't in a shape shifting form. But

0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:14.160
<v Speaker 2>I think that looking at the cast, it really either

0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:16.840
<v Speaker 2>is going to be a big surprise and a character

0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:18.800
<v Speaker 2>that we're not explaining. I'm still going for Hawkeye. I

0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:23.000
<v Speaker 2>truly believe that makes the most sense. But I think

0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:24.800
<v Speaker 2>if we're looking at the people who play a major

0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:28.000
<v Speaker 2>role in this, Rody seems like a high contender. And

0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:30.920
<v Speaker 2>you're right, you know, how did he come back to

0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:31.719
<v Speaker 2>life after that?

0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:35.360
<v Speaker 1>Like setious?

0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:37.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I suppose the other thing. Now, don't get

0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:41.960
<v Speaker 2>too excited, because I definitely have had a tendency in

0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:43.560
<v Speaker 2>the past to come up with cool ideas that they

0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:45.400
<v Speaker 2>would never do and then people be upset that they

0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:50.000
<v Speaker 2>don't do them. But you know, Tony actually survived the

0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:53.520
<v Speaker 2>snap and comes back in this form, and then he's

0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:55.440
<v Speaker 2>actually a scroll and you have that be a large

0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:57.800
<v Speaker 2>part of armor for Wars. Is Roady trying to convince

0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:00.200
<v Speaker 2>people it's not really Tony. That would be very very

0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:02.840
<v Speaker 2>cool and I think would kind of blow people, be

0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:03.880
<v Speaker 2>freaking amazing.

0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:06.559
<v Speaker 1>All right up next to the Bad Batch and the Mandalorian,

0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:22.320
<v Speaker 1>we're stepping out of the air lock and into the

0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:25.080
<v Speaker 1>two part finale of season two of The Bad Batch,

0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:27.800
<v Speaker 1>now streaming on Disney Plus. And what a way to

0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:29.040
<v Speaker 1>end a season.

0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:29.400
<v Speaker 2>Woo.

0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:33.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's a lot of Clone Wars vibe too.

0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:35.760
<v Speaker 1>Obviously it's the same kind of the same time period

0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:38.360
<v Speaker 1>for The Bad Batch, but I'm spot I'm talking about

0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:40.640
<v Speaker 1>like the number of episodes and the kind of up

0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:43.520
<v Speaker 1>and down nature of it, but like a really strong

0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:48.320
<v Speaker 1>closing to this season that started very strong. Also episode fifteen,

0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:52.320
<v Speaker 1>The Summit and episode sixteen, Plan ninety nine. It's or

0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:55.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, sixty six episode and I have a lot

0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:59.400
<v Speaker 1>of thoughts but and so when lou Over recap it

0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:06.040
<v Speaker 1>basically all revolves around an attempt to locate Crosshair and

0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:09.440
<v Speaker 1>to rescue the Clones who are being held by Doctor

0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Hemlock who's doing something that we don't know, and all

0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:20.080
<v Speaker 1>of that results in the unfortunate death of our good friend.

0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:24.720
<v Speaker 2>Tech sacrifice, I think, truly sad sacrifice.

0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:29.800
<v Speaker 1>We will always have the tech Turn that will live forever.

0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:32.640
<v Speaker 1>We can talk about whether he's really dead. But I

0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:38.800
<v Speaker 1>have a bunch of thoughts, and first among them, we

0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:41.680
<v Speaker 1>gotta let Sagerera cook. You guys, Oh my gosh.

0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:44.760
<v Speaker 2>Every time we've been saying this, this man is always right,

0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:49.760
<v Speaker 2>always right, every single time. I feel like that is

0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:52.080
<v Speaker 2>either going to pay off at some point. Well, this

0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:54.920
<v Speaker 2>is just one of the few places where this part

0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:57.720
<v Speaker 2>of Star Wars storytelling fails because he is not wrong.

0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:01.040
<v Speaker 2>He is right every time. In this moment, he is

0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:06.400
<v Speaker 2>talking about stopping the creation of the death stop correct, right.

0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:09.880
<v Speaker 1>So, so the bad batch is, you know, they're on

0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:13.240
<v Speaker 1>the ground, they're invaded this imperial facility. There's this huge

0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:17.040
<v Speaker 1>fucking firefight, and they happen to run into Sagrera who's

0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:20.200
<v Speaker 1>also there, and it's like, hey, wilet, you guys are here.

0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:24.320
<v Speaker 1>Uh my, what I'm here to do is blow up

0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:26.680
<v Speaker 1>all this the imperial leadership that's all here. We got

0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:29.880
<v Speaker 1>grahamav Tarkin, this here we got Orsyncretic here, we got

0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:32.120
<v Speaker 1>doctor Hemlock here, we got a lot of movers and

0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:34.120
<v Speaker 1>shakers here, and I'm going to blow up this whole facility.

0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:36.560
<v Speaker 1>And then, uh, you know, the bad Batch is like,

0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:38.840
<v Speaker 1>well that's short sighted because you can actually you know,

0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:41.440
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of clones here, and we're trying to

0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:44.640
<v Speaker 1>rescue the clones. And actually, if you do that, then

0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:47.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, all this short sighted violence will pay off

0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:49.520
<v Speaker 1>in the medium and long term because you'll be able

0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:52.920
<v Speaker 1>to draw more support to you to do whatever it

0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:57.360
<v Speaker 1>is you do. There isn't even a rebellion, Like I'm sorry, guys,

0:16:57.640 --> 0:16:59.520
<v Speaker 1>I get it, bad Batch. You want to save your

0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:00.640
<v Speaker 1>your brothers.

0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:01.720
<v Speaker 2>I love the clones.

0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:05.680
<v Speaker 1>I want any clothes to die.

0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:09.160
<v Speaker 2>If if they had let Sorgerrera do his thing, Alderom

0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:10.040
<v Speaker 2>would still exist.

0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:14.080
<v Speaker 1>It would have at least been like the destruction would

0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:15.480
<v Speaker 1>have been delayed. I think we couldn't.

0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:16.479
<v Speaker 2>I think we could say that.

0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Listen. I've seen other places say well they just would

0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:25.280
<v Speaker 1>have replaced Tarken and critic. Sure, but with like critic

0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:29.000
<v Speaker 1>was an idiot and so maybe heard about it. But

0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Grandma Turcan was like really good at his job. I

0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:34.639
<v Speaker 1>think it would have like, even if they would have

0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:37.320
<v Speaker 1>been replaced, who fucking cares.

0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:40.000
<v Speaker 2>Let's thinking about it, ausyncretic, he is the one who

0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:42.960
<v Speaker 2>is keeping tabs on Jinnaso's dad, who was the one

0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:46.600
<v Speaker 2>they actually needed to build the Death Star. Like, you know,

0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:50.520
<v Speaker 2>we get these big references here to the original trilogy.

0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:53.119
<v Speaker 2>You get this project star Dust, which we know is

0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:55.680
<v Speaker 2>them talking about the creation of the Death Star. We

0:17:55.800 --> 0:18:00.640
<v Speaker 2>get this huge kind of monumental it's been revealed itself

0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:02.880
<v Speaker 2>over time. But there's two big things that we learn here.

0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:05.760
<v Speaker 2>One is that this has really been a season about

0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:11.440
<v Speaker 2>how the Stormtroopers came to replace the Clones, which is huge.

0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:14.600
<v Speaker 2>And another doing exactly what we love about these animated series,

0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:17.879
<v Speaker 2>which is expanding on moments that we're not one hundred

0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:20.760
<v Speaker 2>percent aware of every nuance that happened in canon, and

0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:24.320
<v Speaker 2>of course the proto cloning that we know will end

0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:26.400
<v Speaker 2>up going towards the Sacred Trilogy.

0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:31.280
<v Speaker 1>Would not be surprised if if Gideon is baby Gideon,

0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:35.119
<v Speaker 1>baby Gideon young Gideon God to start working for doctor

0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:37.080
<v Speaker 1>Hemlock in some form of fashion here.

0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:40.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's very interesting stuff, but I definitely was also

0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:43.360
<v Speaker 2>overwhelmed by the saw was right, Come on again.

0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Every time I get it, I really do get it,

0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:52.480
<v Speaker 1>but it and yes, it's you know, there'd be some unfortunately,

0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:54.760
<v Speaker 1>people would die in this. But like, what are we doing?

0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:58.399
<v Speaker 1>Are we trying to like score to like bowl a

0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:01.000
<v Speaker 1>perfect game against the Empire? Or do you actually want

0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:05.119
<v Speaker 1>to fight because a lot of the big names are here.

0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Let sau do his fucking thing if.

0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:11.080
<v Speaker 2>You want to, if he wants to do the day

0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:13.440
<v Speaker 2>you work. Yeah, let's be real. That I think is

0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:15.959
<v Speaker 2>one of the funniest conundrums of these stories, which we

0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:17.880
<v Speaker 2>love so much, and they add all this great context.

0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:20.119
<v Speaker 2>When you spend more time with these characters and you

0:19:20.200 --> 0:19:23.760
<v Speaker 2>have more nuanced to the stories, it suddenly becomes a

0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:26.280
<v Speaker 2>lot more complex. Then well, you just blow up the

0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:27.960
<v Speaker 2>Death Star, because you blow up the Death Star ends

0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:30.360
<v Speaker 2>the Empire. Great, well done, But then you get those

0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:32.240
<v Speaker 2>conversations of well, what about all the people who worked

0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:34.920
<v Speaker 2>on the Death Star who weren't actually you know they're

0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:37.800
<v Speaker 2>by choice, or who were imperial grunts who were groomed.

0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:40.760
<v Speaker 2>It's that same thing. But in this moment, I do

0:19:40.840 --> 0:19:45.600
<v Speaker 2>feel like more good than harm would have been done

0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:47.240
<v Speaker 2>if they let us all do.

0:19:47.160 --> 0:19:49.760
<v Speaker 1>This if you go by Cody's for us. See, Cody

0:19:49.800 --> 0:19:51.639
<v Speaker 1>would have said at the Battle of Evn, well, we

0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:55.040
<v Speaker 1>have to evacuate all the people that are on the

0:19:55.080 --> 0:19:56.840
<v Speaker 1>Death Store that maybe don't want to do this, you know,

0:19:56.920 --> 0:19:59.399
<v Speaker 1>there's just a job, or there might be some clothes

0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:02.639
<v Speaker 1>on there, and we evacuate them. I get it. Sure,

0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:04.439
<v Speaker 1>But do you think.

0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:07.200
<v Speaker 2>They says like Dave Filoni punishing us for all those

0:20:07.200 --> 0:20:09.360
<v Speaker 2>conversations we had about and that's not He's like, you

0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:11.760
<v Speaker 2>are Cody now, Like I guess is what you've all

0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:12.960
<v Speaker 2>been doing this whole time?

0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:16.280
<v Speaker 1>I think Cody is just I think Cody. I understand

0:20:16.280 --> 0:20:18.639
<v Speaker 1>Cody's rationale here and I and I get it. And

0:20:18.680 --> 0:20:21.159
<v Speaker 1>nobody really knows even though they're all talking about the

0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:23.640
<v Speaker 1>death Star, nobody really knows what they're wing.

0:20:23.760 --> 0:20:25.600
<v Speaker 2>No one knows what projects taught us this. Yea death

0:20:25.800 --> 0:20:27.879
<v Speaker 2>doesn't exist in any way that they understand, so.

0:20:27.880 --> 0:20:30.240
<v Speaker 1>They couldn't have known. And so I get based on

0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:33.440
<v Speaker 1>the information they have, they made an absolutely reasonable call

0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:38.159
<v Speaker 1>to be like, hey, saw, don't that said? I just

0:20:38.240 --> 0:20:42.520
<v Speaker 1>want to acknowledge once again, who's right? He's right again?

0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:43.800
<v Speaker 2>He was absolutely right.

0:20:43.840 --> 0:20:46.600
<v Speaker 1>He is right again. He was right again. And his

0:20:46.880 --> 0:20:52.119
<v Speaker 1>main problem is that he was right way before anybody

0:20:52.160 --> 0:20:55.960
<v Speaker 1>else could even guess what the you know, what the

0:20:56.359 --> 0:20:59.240
<v Speaker 1>what was going on, and so therefore he seems like

0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:04.240
<v Speaker 1>a radical when in reality he's just like eighteen years

0:21:04.320 --> 0:21:05.080
<v Speaker 1>early exactly.

0:21:05.160 --> 0:21:08.200
<v Speaker 2>If you compare the actions that Saw takes that people

0:21:08.280 --> 0:21:11.639
<v Speaker 2>think are so violent and radical, they are absolutely equivalent

0:21:11.680 --> 0:21:12.960
<v Speaker 2>to the things that Luke does.

0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:15.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's like you want to blow do you

0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:18.200
<v Speaker 1>do you want like a two million people in the

0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:19.879
<v Speaker 1>death Sert to die? Or do you want to kill

0:21:19.920 --> 0:21:22.280
<v Speaker 1>like the you know, five hundred people that are in

0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:24.399
<v Speaker 1>this facility right now and stop it from ever happening.

0:21:24.440 --> 0:21:26.160
<v Speaker 1>It's like a trade off exactly.

0:21:26.400 --> 0:21:27.880
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I agree with you. That was a big

0:21:27.920 --> 0:21:29.800
<v Speaker 2>takeaway I had from this, especially because that's a drum

0:21:29.840 --> 0:21:32.960
<v Speaker 2>we've been beating for a long time. Sorry. Also, can

0:21:33.000 --> 0:21:35.080
<v Speaker 2>I just say that the last time we saw Sam

0:21:35.160 --> 0:21:36.800
<v Speaker 2>we were talking about how he was right, he was

0:21:36.800 --> 0:21:39.520
<v Speaker 2>actually the one arguing about protecting his people. So this

0:21:39.600 --> 0:21:41.480
<v Speaker 2>is not some one sided thing where he just wants

0:21:41.480 --> 0:21:43.760
<v Speaker 2>to kill people. He is a complex, nuanced man just

0:21:43.760 --> 0:21:46.000
<v Speaker 2>like everyone else. But of course this is the Clone Show,

0:21:46.600 --> 0:21:48.399
<v Speaker 2>so they're on a mission to save the clones. And

0:21:48.440 --> 0:21:50.879
<v Speaker 2>I love that because I do want to save as

0:21:50.920 --> 0:21:52.000
<v Speaker 2>many clones as possible.

0:21:52.080 --> 0:21:55.840
<v Speaker 1>And I think that the overall conversation about that has

0:21:55.880 --> 0:22:00.719
<v Speaker 1>always been inherent with the clones identity, you know, a

0:22:00.760 --> 0:22:03.880
<v Speaker 1>personal identity. What does it mean to be an individual

0:22:04.040 --> 0:22:06.200
<v Speaker 1>when you have been created from the DNA of one

0:22:06.280 --> 0:22:08.560
<v Speaker 1>person and you look just like all these others. I

0:22:08.560 --> 0:22:11.960
<v Speaker 1>think that is really fascinating. The bad batch within that

0:22:12.080 --> 0:22:15.880
<v Speaker 1>idea is really interesting in and of itself because they

0:22:15.880 --> 0:22:16.520
<v Speaker 1>are the ones.

0:22:16.840 --> 0:22:17.040
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:22:17.520 --> 0:22:20.399
<v Speaker 1>Tech says that thing right before he dies. You know,

0:22:20.520 --> 0:22:23.000
<v Speaker 1>when have we ever followed orders unlike the rest of

0:22:23.040 --> 0:22:27.840
<v Speaker 1>the clones, you know? And I think that is that idea.

0:22:28.000 --> 0:22:31.760
<v Speaker 1>Individualism within like a why a larger kind of monolithic

0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:37.160
<v Speaker 1>group is really interesting and I love exploring that here Tech,

0:22:38.680 --> 0:22:39.160
<v Speaker 1>is he dead?

0:22:39.680 --> 0:22:43.040
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I feelate the answer is no, just because

0:22:43.040 --> 0:22:44.880
<v Speaker 2>of what we've seen in the past, with the way

0:22:44.880 --> 0:22:46.800
<v Speaker 2>that they treat like a clone who dies or goes

0:22:46.840 --> 0:22:49.320
<v Speaker 2>missing and they have that big, surprising comeback. So my

0:22:49.400 --> 0:22:51.000
<v Speaker 2>hope would be no. But it had such a big

0:22:51.040 --> 0:22:54.160
<v Speaker 2>impact on Omega. I think this one might stick.

0:22:54.240 --> 0:22:55.919
<v Speaker 1>I think it might stick to and I think you

0:22:56.080 --> 0:22:58.359
<v Speaker 1>don't do the slow Mo Fall.

0:22:58.640 --> 0:22:59.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's true. That's true.

0:22:59.720 --> 0:23:01.840
<v Speaker 1>That's a classics you're gonna mean it.

0:23:02.119 --> 0:23:05.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you can't like rewind the slow mo fall. It

0:23:05.440 --> 0:23:07.000
<v Speaker 2>has a context and an impact.

0:23:07.600 --> 0:23:11.159
<v Speaker 1>And I agree with you Omega, man, it really it

0:23:11.200 --> 0:23:14.560
<v Speaker 1>really hit Omega like that was heartbreaking, actually her wanting

0:23:14.600 --> 0:23:16.840
<v Speaker 1>to go back. They can't go back. You obviously can't

0:23:16.840 --> 0:23:17.160
<v Speaker 1>go back.

0:23:17.160 --> 0:23:19.760
<v Speaker 2>And also I think that notion of sacrifice like no, no,

0:23:19.800 --> 0:23:22.720
<v Speaker 2>we never leave anyone behind, and actually that was somebody's

0:23:22.800 --> 0:23:24.800
<v Speaker 2>choice to do that so we could move forward. So

0:23:25.240 --> 0:23:26.840
<v Speaker 2>are you going to take advantage of that or are

0:23:26.880 --> 0:23:30.359
<v Speaker 2>you going to stay behind and you know, trying to

0:23:30.400 --> 0:23:32.920
<v Speaker 2>save somebody who in the end chose not to be saved.

0:23:33.200 --> 0:23:34.960
<v Speaker 2>I think as well, the thing that you mentioned about

0:23:34.960 --> 0:23:39.119
<v Speaker 2>individualism and this kind of idea of finding yourself in

0:23:39.200 --> 0:23:41.439
<v Speaker 2>this Clone army, which has obviously been even since the

0:23:41.480 --> 0:23:43.520
<v Speaker 2>Clone War stuff, is like so key to the most

0:23:43.560 --> 0:23:46.800
<v Speaker 2>impactful stuff we learned that that is at the heart

0:23:46.840 --> 0:23:51.199
<v Speaker 2>of why the Clone Troopers end up becoming irrelevant for

0:23:51.280 --> 0:23:53.320
<v Speaker 2>what the Empire needs them, and why the Stormtroopers come

0:23:53.359 --> 0:23:57.240
<v Speaker 2>through because they realize, oh, actually you can't just clone

0:23:57.240 --> 0:23:59.600
<v Speaker 2>people and expect them to all behave exactly the same way.

0:23:59.600 --> 0:24:03.280
<v Speaker 2>There's that this breakout of human spirit, basically people who

0:24:03.280 --> 0:24:05.359
<v Speaker 2>will go against the grain. And it's not just a

0:24:05.359 --> 0:24:07.000
<v Speaker 2>bad batch. You know, there are other clones who have

0:24:07.080 --> 0:24:09.040
<v Speaker 2>done that. So I thought that was really interesting and

0:24:09.080 --> 0:24:12.040
<v Speaker 2>obviously kind of what we all thought, because with the Stormtroopers,

0:24:12.080 --> 0:24:14.600
<v Speaker 2>you're essentially trying to create an army of people who

0:24:14.680 --> 0:24:16.680
<v Speaker 2>never question you. But I thought it was nice to

0:24:16.760 --> 0:24:18.720
<v Speaker 2>kind of see that acknowledged here, and it goes along

0:24:18.760 --> 0:24:21.560
<v Speaker 2>really well with the greater journey that they've been on.

0:24:22.600 --> 0:24:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Your thoughts on the strands that are obviously leading towards

0:24:27.640 --> 0:24:31.919
<v Speaker 1>the Palpatine cloning project, project Project New Palpatine.

0:24:31.320 --> 0:24:33.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, I will say we were right, because I do

0:24:33.560 --> 0:24:37.760
<v Speaker 2>think it is no coincidence that in the Mandalori and

0:24:37.800 --> 0:24:40.240
<v Speaker 2>in this we now have what are essentially threads here

0:24:40.440 --> 0:24:44.760
<v Speaker 2>to let's say, expand on rather than fix. No matter

0:24:44.800 --> 0:24:47.520
<v Speaker 2>what our feelings are about Rise of Skyrocrifite, it does

0:24:47.600 --> 0:24:51.560
<v Speaker 2>feel like Felonious once again using this as a space

0:24:51.600 --> 0:24:55.960
<v Speaker 2>to kind of embroider more detail and context, because as

0:24:55.960 --> 0:24:58.560
<v Speaker 2>we know, even Oscar Isaac was tired when he said it.

0:24:58.640 --> 0:25:01.639
<v Speaker 2>Somehow Palpatine returned it is the somehow it feels like

0:25:01.720 --> 0:25:04.520
<v Speaker 2>we're getting it here. We're definitely getting it in the Mandalorian.

0:25:04.720 --> 0:25:07.240
<v Speaker 2>I like that idea that maybe there's some connection to Gideon,

0:25:07.320 --> 0:25:10.399
<v Speaker 2>even a Gideon mentor who work for Hemlock or something

0:25:10.760 --> 0:25:13.399
<v Speaker 2>that seems like where we're going. I'm very interested to

0:25:13.600 --> 0:25:18.440
<v Speaker 2>know how that all comes together, because this is very

0:25:18.440 --> 0:25:20.359
<v Speaker 2>different to when the Clone Wars was on air and

0:25:20.359 --> 0:25:23.000
<v Speaker 2>they were rebuilding. That was not a time when we

0:25:23.080 --> 0:25:25.800
<v Speaker 2>had Star Wars Live Action TV. It was not a

0:25:25.840 --> 0:25:28.800
<v Speaker 2>time when there was so much cohesion between these different

0:25:28.840 --> 0:25:32.440
<v Speaker 2>branches of lucasfilm. I want to know if we are

0:25:32.520 --> 0:25:35.639
<v Speaker 2>really going to see these threads from the Bad Batch

0:25:35.800 --> 0:25:38.120
<v Speaker 2>come into Live Action Star Wars TV soon, if we're

0:25:38.119 --> 0:25:40.159
<v Speaker 2>going to start to see a much more fluid and

0:25:40.240 --> 0:25:42.679
<v Speaker 2>quicker crossover, because we've gotten it to a point, but

0:25:42.760 --> 0:25:45.560
<v Speaker 2>it feels like this could be leading to something that

0:25:45.600 --> 0:25:46.600
<v Speaker 2>would end together.

0:25:47.040 --> 0:25:50.320
<v Speaker 1>You know what's really interesting is one of the kind

0:25:50.400 --> 0:25:56.080
<v Speaker 1>of driving themes of the Clone Wars is the Jedi

0:25:56.240 --> 0:26:00.560
<v Speaker 1>missed it. They missed the rise of Palpatine's right there.

0:26:00.640 --> 0:26:02.399
<v Speaker 1>He's like two and a half blocks over from the

0:26:02.480 --> 0:26:03.080
<v Speaker 1>Jedi Tim.

0:26:02.960 --> 0:26:05.480
<v Speaker 2>He's actually chilling with people that you know he can't.

0:26:05.240 --> 0:26:08.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, Yoda can't feel his presence. They have multiple

0:26:08.960 --> 0:26:11.600
<v Speaker 1>meat face to his meetings with the guy, and they

0:26:11.640 --> 0:26:16.480
<v Speaker 1>just think he's just some chilling and it really feels like, ah, man,

0:26:16.480 --> 0:26:18.720
<v Speaker 1>they're so close and they just missed it. And now

0:26:19.320 --> 0:26:24.120
<v Speaker 1>with the bad batchuh, you know, with the Mandalorian, you've

0:26:24.160 --> 0:26:28.280
<v Speaker 1>got this. The new kind of thing that everybody missed

0:26:28.480 --> 0:26:32.840
<v Speaker 1>is Palpatine's coming back, the cloning drive to recreate more Palpatine,

0:26:32.880 --> 0:26:36.360
<v Speaker 1>so Palpatine can you know, be our villain in perpetuity.

0:26:37.040 --> 0:26:40.480
<v Speaker 1>And it's really interesting now to see this kind of

0:26:40.520 --> 0:26:44.199
<v Speaker 1>feeling developing again, where I mean Captain Teva's really the

0:26:44.240 --> 0:26:46.000
<v Speaker 1>only one who's like, I think there's something going on

0:26:46.119 --> 0:26:49.359
<v Speaker 1>with cloning guys and some kind of issue around the

0:26:49.359 --> 0:26:52.879
<v Speaker 1>Outer Rim and Navarro like what's going on? It It

0:26:53.000 --> 0:26:56.520
<v Speaker 1>feels again, although much less pointed, but still feels again

0:26:56.640 --> 0:27:01.320
<v Speaker 1>like hey, there's something going on with cloning. Who is

0:27:01.640 --> 0:27:03.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna catch on? Yeah, and it's anyone.

0:27:03.720 --> 0:27:06.000
<v Speaker 2>It's interesting to see that in a more of a

0:27:06.080 --> 0:27:10.040
<v Speaker 2>real time rather than something that's retroactively added, you know,

0:27:10.119 --> 0:27:13.360
<v Speaker 2>like we saw this sequel trilogy reveal that Palpatine came

0:27:13.400 --> 0:27:15.760
<v Speaker 2>back and now just a few years later, we're starting

0:27:15.800 --> 0:27:19.040
<v Speaker 2>to see, oh they missed it again, Like this wasn't

0:27:19.119 --> 0:27:24.680
<v Speaker 2>some super secretive out of rim nobody knew about it situation.

0:27:25.000 --> 0:27:28.200
<v Speaker 2>This was going on under their noses while the original

0:27:28.200 --> 0:27:29.560
<v Speaker 2>Palpatine was still alive.

0:27:33.200 --> 0:27:36.159
<v Speaker 1>The animation style is incredible. This is maybe this is

0:27:36.760 --> 0:27:39.960
<v Speaker 1>The action in this was unbelievable. There's some really great

0:27:40.080 --> 0:27:43.760
<v Speaker 1>like one shots where in particular where the bad Batch

0:27:43.840 --> 0:27:47.280
<v Speaker 1>is like fighting through the facility and they like punched

0:27:47.320 --> 0:27:50.800
<v Speaker 1>this Stormtrooper multiple times and then the camera like flips

0:27:50.800 --> 0:27:54.200
<v Speaker 1>so you can follow them running down the hall. Feels

0:27:54.240 --> 0:27:56.000
<v Speaker 1>freaking great. And by the way, I think this is

0:27:56.040 --> 0:27:58.440
<v Speaker 1>the best the Stormtroopers have ever done in a fight.

0:27:59.000 --> 0:28:02.879
<v Speaker 2>They look good, they did well. Yeah, this is not

0:28:03.080 --> 0:28:07.760
<v Speaker 2>your you know, four generations down stormtrooper missing everything with

0:28:07.840 --> 0:28:10.840
<v Speaker 2>a blaster. Also, I feel you really like, I feel

0:28:10.840 --> 0:28:13.040
<v Speaker 2>like there's a great anime influence on this in the

0:28:13.080 --> 0:28:16.080
<v Speaker 2>way that they're using cameras as if they're shooting live action,

0:28:16.200 --> 0:28:19.960
<v Speaker 2>but you're doing animation. And I love to see. When

0:28:20.000 --> 0:28:23.520
<v Speaker 2>Clon Wars came out, there was just so much hate

0:28:23.520 --> 0:28:25.720
<v Speaker 2>for that art style, and it didn't help that they

0:28:25.800 --> 0:28:28.480
<v Speaker 2>did that short clone Wars with Gendi, who's obviously such

0:28:28.520 --> 0:28:30.000
<v Speaker 2>an iconic animator.

0:28:30.240 --> 0:28:32.160
<v Speaker 1>I think still, oh yes, right now.

0:28:32.040 --> 0:28:34.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that one first, and so that sets this tone,

0:28:34.560 --> 0:28:36.439
<v Speaker 2>and then you go to this full cg and people

0:28:36.760 --> 0:28:40.920
<v Speaker 2>have that struggle to connect with it, and then Rebels

0:28:40.960 --> 0:28:42.920
<v Speaker 2>you have that different style. It's really nice to see

0:28:42.920 --> 0:28:46.920
<v Speaker 2>the bad Batch keep the spirit of Clone Wars alive.

0:28:46.960 --> 0:28:50.440
<v Speaker 2>But just looks so fucking good, Like this has Disney

0:28:50.440 --> 0:28:52.920
<v Speaker 2>plus money, do you know what I mean? It feels

0:28:52.960 --> 0:28:55.600
<v Speaker 2>like anyone can sit down and appreciate this as a

0:28:55.600 --> 0:28:58.440
<v Speaker 2>prestige TV show, even though it's animation, which is a

0:28:58.480 --> 0:29:01.360
<v Speaker 2>really hard bridge to cross, and I feel like this

0:29:01.560 --> 0:29:03.760
<v Speaker 2>is a really important show to watch if you love

0:29:03.800 --> 0:29:05.400
<v Speaker 2>Star Wars. It feels vital.

0:29:06.000 --> 0:29:11.160
<v Speaker 1>I agree, And it's just it just looks great. It

0:29:11.200 --> 0:29:17.320
<v Speaker 1>looks really great. Your thoughts on the uh Omega meeting

0:29:18.360 --> 0:29:21.440
<v Speaker 1>adult Omega shocking twists and where were they?

0:29:21.680 --> 0:29:23.240
<v Speaker 2>I know, it was very cool.

0:29:23.480 --> 0:29:27.080
<v Speaker 1>It looked I see pyramids and I was like, is that, Yeahvin,

0:29:27.160 --> 0:29:33.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but like that is obviously feels pretty huge.

0:29:34.000 --> 0:29:36.440
<v Speaker 1>And the idea that they were we always knew that

0:29:36.480 --> 0:29:38.480
<v Speaker 1>there might be more Omegas out there, but the fact

0:29:38.480 --> 0:29:43.400
<v Speaker 1>that there definitely is one feels really huge.

0:29:43.800 --> 0:29:46.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we always we always knew that Omega was basically

0:29:46.560 --> 0:29:51.080
<v Speaker 2>like the next kind of generation of clone, this enhanced

0:29:51.800 --> 0:29:56.160
<v Speaker 2>kind of clone. Potentially people wondering if she was for sensitive.

0:29:57.120 --> 0:30:04.040
<v Speaker 2>I was very interesting to wonder that. Yeah, basically I

0:30:04.080 --> 0:30:06.560
<v Speaker 2>was wondering the exact same thing. Where the Commonian stuff

0:30:06.560 --> 0:30:09.440
<v Speaker 2>has been demolished, So where are they? Where is this

0:30:09.640 --> 0:30:14.280
<v Speaker 2>intense black pyramid with a kind of inner jungle with

0:30:14.360 --> 0:30:16.719
<v Speaker 2>another pyramid kind of floating on top of it. Almost

0:30:16.760 --> 0:30:21.280
<v Speaker 2>it looks so cool, and I really think it seems

0:30:21.280 --> 0:30:23.080
<v Speaker 2>to me that essentially there's probably going to be like

0:30:23.120 --> 0:30:25.640
<v Speaker 2>a female version of the bad Batch that would come

0:30:25.680 --> 0:30:28.720
<v Speaker 2>out of these that could come out of these Omega clones,

0:30:28.760 --> 0:30:31.120
<v Speaker 2>that Omega would lead. That's how it feels to me

0:30:31.160 --> 0:30:31.360
<v Speaker 2>at the.

0:30:31.440 --> 0:30:37.320
<v Speaker 1>End, really strong ending to the season. Once again, shots

0:30:37.320 --> 0:30:39.480
<v Speaker 1>to my guy Sagerera. You saw it. No, you won't

0:30:39.480 --> 0:30:42.160
<v Speaker 1>get the respect you deserve, but you saw it. Up

0:30:42.200 --> 0:30:55.160
<v Speaker 1>next The Mandalorian, The Mandalorian season three titled Chapter twenty two,

0:30:55.280 --> 0:30:58.280
<v Speaker 1>Guns for Hire, directed by Bryce styles Howard.

0:30:58.320 --> 0:31:01.480
<v Speaker 2>In the Icon, she's back again, just in her bag.

0:31:01.520 --> 0:31:03.640
<v Speaker 2>When must she get? In the stal Wars movie, she deserves.

0:31:03.720 --> 0:31:05.600
<v Speaker 2>We've all been asking for it for so long.

0:31:05.800 --> 0:31:10.000
<v Speaker 1>All the Way in Her Bag written by John Favreau.

0:31:10.280 --> 0:31:14.400
<v Speaker 1>We open in space an imperial ship crewed by Mandalorian

0:31:14.440 --> 0:31:19.600
<v Speaker 1>mercenaries waylays a Quorn ship. The Mandalorian captain Axe Wolves,

0:31:19.880 --> 0:31:24.520
<v Speaker 1>we've met him before, has been hired by some noble

0:31:24.640 --> 0:31:30.480
<v Speaker 1>Moncalamari family to retrieve their love struck prince son. Apparently,

0:31:30.880 --> 0:31:34.960
<v Speaker 1>the Quorn and the Montcalamari they shared the planet and

0:31:35.040 --> 0:31:38.880
<v Speaker 1>their uneasy neighbors. And apparently the son who is in

0:31:38.920 --> 0:31:42.960
<v Speaker 1>love with the Quorn captain of this Quorn ship has

0:31:43.080 --> 0:31:46.400
<v Speaker 1>caused some sort of a scandal, and so the Mandalorians

0:31:46.440 --> 0:31:48.400
<v Speaker 1>have to separate them and bring the sun back to

0:31:48.520 --> 0:31:51.920
<v Speaker 1>his family. The Marandalorians agree with the Quorn captain. This

0:31:51.960 --> 0:31:57.960
<v Speaker 1>is very dishonorable and distasteful business, but as a wise

0:31:58.000 --> 0:32:00.120
<v Speaker 1>man once said, that's what the money is for the

0:32:00.200 --> 0:32:04.840
<v Speaker 1>most jobs done they bring. They park their fleet back

0:32:04.880 --> 0:32:08.680
<v Speaker 1>home on Plazier fifteen in the Outer Rim. We go

0:32:08.720 --> 0:32:10.720
<v Speaker 1>to our friends bowed In and the Baby. They are

0:32:10.760 --> 0:32:13.880
<v Speaker 1>heading to Plasier fifteen themselves because they need to. You know,

0:32:14.000 --> 0:32:18.760
<v Speaker 1>they're the new ambassadors for the rebuilding Mandalor project.

0:32:18.520 --> 0:32:21.880
<v Speaker 2>And they're trying to find Bo's old crew, you know,

0:32:21.920 --> 0:32:25.160
<v Speaker 2>who abandoned her and became mercenaries after she lost the

0:32:25.240 --> 0:32:28.920
<v Speaker 2>Dark Saber. So this is a quest that makes a

0:32:28.920 --> 0:32:32.640
<v Speaker 2>lot of sense and puts them on an interesting side

0:32:32.720 --> 0:32:36.040
<v Speaker 2>quest which I personally loved, yes, and was not expecting.

0:32:36.320 --> 0:32:41.280
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, that their intention is to find more Mandalorians.

0:32:40.560 --> 0:32:46.440
<v Speaker 1>That's right. So they arrive on the planet and there's

0:32:46.440 --> 0:32:52.320
<v Speaker 1>some like delightful sixteen bit fanfare music and announcement about

0:32:53.200 --> 0:32:56.520
<v Speaker 1>you know what plus your fifteen is, and a voice

0:32:56.560 --> 0:32:59.000
<v Speaker 1>welcomes them, you know, to a plus your fifteen the

0:32:59.040 --> 0:33:01.680
<v Speaker 1>only direct to Christine in the Outer Rim. Grogu seems

0:33:01.680 --> 0:33:05.440
<v Speaker 1>to really love the music. They pass some Imperial droids

0:33:05.640 --> 0:33:06.280
<v Speaker 1>on the way to.

0:33:07.120 --> 0:33:10.280
<v Speaker 2>Train notable for what will come to Boss.

0:33:10.760 --> 0:33:15.760
<v Speaker 1>And on the train, you know they're they're heading in.

0:33:16.800 --> 0:33:19.880
<v Speaker 1>They're kind of being interviewed by the security services of

0:33:19.880 --> 0:33:22.040
<v Speaker 1>Pleasure fifteen. On the way in. Bo is like, hey,

0:33:22.080 --> 0:33:23.400
<v Speaker 1>we want to speak to the man. We're here to

0:33:23.400 --> 0:33:25.760
<v Speaker 1>see the man, my Mandalorian brethren. Can we can we

0:33:25.800 --> 0:33:29.040
<v Speaker 1>speak to them? And the voice is like, no dice

0:33:29.240 --> 0:33:33.160
<v Speaker 1>because according to the Corosonic chords, uh, you know, no

0:33:34.280 --> 0:33:38.080
<v Speaker 1>outsider can have like direct contact with military assets and

0:33:38.160 --> 0:33:40.040
<v Speaker 1>peacekeeping zones whatever that means.

0:33:40.160 --> 0:33:43.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's lots of bureau chrissy hair. You love bureaucriic

0:33:43.480 --> 0:33:45.480
<v Speaker 2>Star Wars. You will be happy because there is some

0:33:45.680 --> 0:33:48.400
<v Speaker 2>rules that are being laid down by the New Republic.

0:33:48.920 --> 0:33:53.280
<v Speaker 1>And the voice then is like, can we get your

0:33:53.320 --> 0:33:55.120
<v Speaker 1>chain codes so we can verify who you are? They

0:33:55.160 --> 0:33:59.160
<v Speaker 1>do and then all of a sudden, this voice is like, hey,

0:33:59.200 --> 0:34:04.000
<v Speaker 1>guess what, Bocuten Creese and denjarying, your presence is requested

0:34:05.640 --> 0:34:07.800
<v Speaker 1>at a certain place. They go to a place and

0:34:07.880 --> 0:34:09.640
<v Speaker 1>it's a feast. There's a feast going on, and this

0:34:09.680 --> 0:34:12.600
<v Speaker 1>is a star studded episode of the guys.

0:34:12.760 --> 0:34:16.560
<v Speaker 2>Say how they kept these cameos quiet kind of blows

0:34:16.600 --> 0:34:18.759
<v Speaker 2>my mind. I know that this is just people who

0:34:18.760 --> 0:34:20.959
<v Speaker 2>probably wanted to work with Bryce and who obviously also

0:34:21.040 --> 0:34:23.320
<v Speaker 2>wanted to be in a Star War becers who doesn't.

0:34:23.480 --> 0:34:25.600
<v Speaker 2>But it's really great because you get this feast and

0:34:25.640 --> 0:34:27.840
<v Speaker 2>you first of will have this hilarious moment where you

0:34:28.040 --> 0:34:30.799
<v Speaker 2>see one of the aliens, you know who, Gorgu was

0:34:30.800 --> 0:34:32.880
<v Speaker 2>trying to eat the eggs, the baby eggs, and that

0:34:32.960 --> 0:34:35.239
<v Speaker 2>was really shocking everyone and I was like, oh, my gosh,

0:34:35.239 --> 0:34:36.799
<v Speaker 2>it's one of those aliens. And then at the top

0:34:36.840 --> 0:34:38.200
<v Speaker 2>of the table it's like, oh, it's Lizzo and.

0:34:38.239 --> 0:34:47.040
<v Speaker 1>Jack Black, So obviously that's huge, just casual. Yeah, and

0:34:47.120 --> 0:34:50.880
<v Speaker 1>so they're playing the duchess who is part of this

0:34:51.000 --> 0:34:55.120
<v Speaker 1>ruling family that has ruled plus you're fifteen to four apparently.

0:34:54.800 --> 0:34:57.760
<v Speaker 2>Since it was ever settled all of its modern history.

0:34:58.080 --> 0:35:00.240
<v Speaker 1>And Captain Bombadier.

0:35:00.080 --> 0:35:02.279
<v Speaker 2>A perfect name for a character played by Jack Black.

0:35:02.360 --> 0:35:06.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the elected rulers, and you know, they sit down,

0:35:07.239 --> 0:35:11.360
<v Speaker 1>Jack Black, excuse me. Captain Bobadier offers them some drinks,

0:35:11.480 --> 0:35:17.000
<v Speaker 1>which are apparently secreted by some really gross, like sac

0:35:17.400 --> 0:35:20.160
<v Speaker 1>looking globular alien in a in a jar.

0:35:20.480 --> 0:35:24.920
<v Speaker 2>This is classic interesting Star Wars world building because we

0:35:25.040 --> 0:35:30.680
<v Speaker 2>really get the sense of that opulent, disconnected wealth that

0:35:30.800 --> 0:35:34.240
<v Speaker 2>so often exists in the world of Star Wars because

0:35:34.239 --> 0:35:37.480
<v Speaker 2>of people's connections to war or, as we'll find out,

0:35:37.560 --> 0:35:39.960
<v Speaker 2>the imperial kind of regime.

0:35:40.800 --> 0:35:46.160
<v Speaker 1>And Captain Barbadier addresses them, He's okay, let's address the Bonson.

0:35:47.840 --> 0:35:50.640
<v Speaker 1>I was once a facility's planner officer during the War

0:35:52.040 --> 0:35:55.760
<v Speaker 1>for the Empire, and thanks to the New Republic amnuscry program,

0:35:55.840 --> 0:35:58.520
<v Speaker 1>I was able to help rebuild the Plazi or fifteen,

0:35:58.600 --> 0:36:02.200
<v Speaker 1>and then the Dutch just echoes that saying, you know,

0:36:02.360 --> 0:36:05.759
<v Speaker 1>plusy or fifteen really got just really got wrecked during

0:36:05.800 --> 0:36:10.880
<v Speaker 1>the war and suffered under imperial rule. And my husband,

0:36:10.960 --> 0:36:13.399
<v Speaker 1>Captain Bombardier has really really done great job in helping

0:36:13.480 --> 0:36:17.360
<v Speaker 1>us rebuild and using his skills as an acquisitions officer

0:36:17.360 --> 0:36:23.040
<v Speaker 1>for the Empire. Which, hey, they were great at acquiring stuff.

0:36:24.239 --> 0:36:27.319
<v Speaker 2>That's what colonialism is good, good at stealing stuff from

0:36:27.320 --> 0:36:28.160
<v Speaker 2>other table.

0:36:28.000 --> 0:36:30.359
<v Speaker 1>And certainly they seemed to be living it up now,

0:36:30.400 --> 0:36:31.439
<v Speaker 1>so everything is going great.

0:36:31.600 --> 0:36:33.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, and they fell in love. Isn't that great? Well,

0:36:33.760 --> 0:36:34.920
<v Speaker 2>one magical story.

0:36:35.040 --> 0:36:40.840
<v Speaker 1>You know what I I I hate I obviously whenever

0:36:40.880 --> 0:36:45.560
<v Speaker 1>I see former imperials thriving, I take, I do a

0:36:45.560 --> 0:36:49.120
<v Speaker 1>double take. But this is for love and everybody seems happy.

0:36:49.160 --> 0:36:52.680
<v Speaker 2>So on the planet, yeah, I actually I did expect

0:36:52.680 --> 0:36:55.760
<v Speaker 2>to see some kind of like secret dark a side

0:36:55.800 --> 0:36:57.320
<v Speaker 2>of the planet, kind of like what we saw in

0:36:57.360 --> 0:36:59.160
<v Speaker 2>the Last Jedi, but you don't really get that hit

0:36:59.280 --> 0:37:04.640
<v Speaker 2>it Great's is allegedly these people would elected democratically. People

0:37:04.640 --> 0:37:07.400
<v Speaker 2>seem happy, everyone strive any and some food. There's some

0:37:07.480 --> 0:37:09.719
<v Speaker 2>issues with droids that we'll get into that.

0:37:10.239 --> 0:37:16.520
<v Speaker 1>It's like Nieman Marcus the planet. Everything is luxurious, nobody works.

0:37:16.600 --> 0:37:20.239
<v Speaker 1>Everybody's hanging out having a chill and buying stuff. It's

0:37:20.239 --> 0:37:21.600
<v Speaker 1>shopping all the time.

0:37:21.600 --> 0:37:22.200
<v Speaker 2>All the time.

0:37:22.360 --> 0:37:22.919
<v Speaker 1>Pretty great.

0:37:23.160 --> 0:37:27.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's it's uh tourism, capitalism, but just al die

0:37:27.120 --> 0:37:31.560
<v Speaker 2>every day and nobody works, which seems great. I would

0:37:31.560 --> 0:37:32.200
<v Speaker 2>love to see it.

0:37:32.280 --> 0:37:35.600
<v Speaker 1>I'll just say this, you know, I think the AMBSC

0:37:35.719 --> 0:37:39.879
<v Speaker 1>program is not only well meaning, but good and and

0:37:39.920 --> 0:37:43.400
<v Speaker 1>if it's imperfect, as we've seen in other episodes of

0:37:43.400 --> 0:37:47.799
<v Speaker 1>The Bandalorian, then it's imperfect for a good cause. I

0:37:47.840 --> 0:37:51.319
<v Speaker 1>think it's probably a net positive. It means to be

0:37:51.360 --> 0:37:53.400
<v Speaker 1>seen how things go with the cloning program.

0:37:53.520 --> 0:37:55.920
<v Speaker 2>The idea is I would say I agree with you

0:37:56.040 --> 0:37:59.440
<v Speaker 2>net positive, because it is worth giving people that second

0:37:59.520 --> 0:38:01.320
<v Speaker 2>chance to forced into those roles.

0:38:02.080 --> 0:38:05.080
<v Speaker 1>That said, and we don't know what Captain Bombardier was

0:38:05.160 --> 0:38:07.880
<v Speaker 1>up to in his previous life as an acquisitions officer

0:38:08.000 --> 0:38:14.160
<v Speaker 1>for the Empire. I feel like everybody's always playing down

0:38:14.200 --> 0:38:18.040
<v Speaker 1>what they did in the exactly that I was an

0:38:18.040 --> 0:38:20.719
<v Speaker 1>acquisitions officer or really, where are you station the death start?

0:38:20.840 --> 0:38:22.680
<v Speaker 1>Like we were even.

0:38:22.480 --> 0:38:25.240
<v Speaker 2>Just that, but like where which planets were you ravaging,

0:38:25.719 --> 0:38:29.040
<v Speaker 2>Like whose family wealth are you now sitting on like

0:38:29.120 --> 0:38:33.719
<v Speaker 2>playing space croquet and eating delicious feasts. It seems inethical.

0:38:33.760 --> 0:38:36.560
<v Speaker 2>I also think there is an interesting statement being made

0:38:36.600 --> 0:38:39.440
<v Speaker 2>here when we look at how somebody like Bombardier is

0:38:39.480 --> 0:38:43.480
<v Speaker 2>being treated in this amnesty program compared to the kind

0:38:43.480 --> 0:38:45.279
<v Speaker 2>of low level grunts that we saw who are also

0:38:45.320 --> 0:38:48.239
<v Speaker 2>living in these halfway houses. And we saw in that

0:38:48.280 --> 0:38:50.279
<v Speaker 2>same episode of The Man Bluriyo and where we kind

0:38:50.280 --> 0:38:52.520
<v Speaker 2>of explored where Pershing was at that there are these

0:38:53.000 --> 0:38:56.759
<v Speaker 2>wealthy kind of scions who just don't care whether it's

0:38:56.800 --> 0:38:59.520
<v Speaker 2>the Empire, the New Republic, whoever, as long as they

0:38:59.560 --> 0:39:03.160
<v Speaker 2>can stay fat and enjoy the things that they enjoy.

0:39:03.360 --> 0:39:06.960
<v Speaker 2>And Bomba definitely seems to be more leaning that way.

0:39:06.840 --> 0:39:08.680
<v Speaker 1>Although it certainly seems like a great guy.

0:39:09.160 --> 0:39:10.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it looks like it would be a lot

0:39:10.480 --> 0:39:12.240
<v Speaker 2>of fun to be at this face love is Curlie

0:39:12.280 --> 0:39:15.080
<v Speaker 2>Mustache and listen, he's married to Lizzo, so obviously doing

0:39:15.120 --> 0:39:16.080
<v Speaker 2>something right, right and listen.

0:39:16.160 --> 0:39:19.080
<v Speaker 1>During the Imperial days, it's like, if you wanted to work,

0:39:19.120 --> 0:39:20.960
<v Speaker 1>you kind of had to be in lead with the Empire.

0:39:21.000 --> 0:39:24.399
<v Speaker 1>So I get I get it. Anyway, the Duchess then

0:39:24.920 --> 0:39:28.839
<v Speaker 1>offers Grogu some space sardines, and Grogu's like, yes, yeah,

0:39:28.920 --> 0:39:30.480
<v Speaker 1>does the flip right into her arm.

0:39:30.560 --> 0:39:32.719
<v Speaker 2>He's just never not flip in now.

0:39:32.800 --> 0:39:36.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Dinners like I don't know, grog and then all

0:39:36.520 --> 0:39:39.160
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden, Grego's like, well, I like anybody.

0:39:38.840 --> 0:39:41.400
<v Speaker 2>Who's giving me some food, delicious seafood.

0:39:42.239 --> 0:39:46.359
<v Speaker 1>We learned that this the whole direct democracy thing, which

0:39:46.440 --> 0:39:52.320
<v Speaker 1>is basically everybody votes for the person that they want

0:39:52.360 --> 0:39:55.480
<v Speaker 1>to rule. There's no voting for a representative and then

0:39:55.640 --> 0:39:58.239
<v Speaker 1>is going to cast a vote for whoever is going

0:39:58.280 --> 0:39:59.959
<v Speaker 1>to rule. You do you vote directly for the person

0:40:00.080 --> 0:40:04.719
<v Speaker 1>you want. And so this whole direct democracy thing is

0:40:04.719 --> 0:40:06.840
<v Speaker 1>is pretty new, and that even though the Duchess and

0:40:06.840 --> 0:40:08.680
<v Speaker 1>our family have ruled for all the planet's history, they

0:40:08.680 --> 0:40:12.759
<v Speaker 1>are now the duly elected leaders. One wonders if if

0:40:12.800 --> 0:40:16.840
<v Speaker 1>you are the ruling family for generations, what chance any

0:40:16.960 --> 0:40:18.120
<v Speaker 1>other Canada have.

0:40:18.160 --> 0:40:19.520
<v Speaker 2>Already like monarchs?

0:40:19.520 --> 0:40:24.480
<v Speaker 1>That seems unlike again, everybody seems trying their best, everybody

0:40:24.520 --> 0:40:30.800
<v Speaker 1>seems happy. We also learned that Bombadier's imperial past means

0:40:30.840 --> 0:40:36.040
<v Speaker 1>that he can't be in command of any military force,

0:40:36.080 --> 0:40:40.160
<v Speaker 1>and therefore are fifteen kids can't can't have a military,

0:40:40.600 --> 0:40:45.319
<v Speaker 1>so they outsource their military force. Thus the Mandalorians. That's

0:40:45.360 --> 0:40:48.239
<v Speaker 1>why they are here. They are essentially mercenaries here on

0:40:48.280 --> 0:40:48.640
<v Speaker 1>the planet.

0:40:49.040 --> 0:40:53.200
<v Speaker 2>To me, that feels like a very loophole, an obvious

0:40:53.239 --> 0:40:56.640
<v Speaker 2>loophole that they should stop, because it's like, you can't

0:40:56.680 --> 0:40:59.719
<v Speaker 2>have a nationalist military that is run by people if

0:40:59.719 --> 0:41:03.600
<v Speaker 2>you can't, agreed. I honestly, militaries always leaking some bad stuff.

0:41:03.600 --> 0:41:05.960
<v Speaker 2>I get that, especially with the imperial connection. But just

0:41:06.080 --> 0:41:09.560
<v Speaker 2>hiring random mercenaries who you pay to commit war crimes,

0:41:09.840 --> 0:41:10.600
<v Speaker 2>I doesn't say, my.

0:41:10.680 --> 0:41:16.040
<v Speaker 1>Guest, it seems like the way it works is they

0:41:16.200 --> 0:41:20.360
<v Speaker 1>hired them to just be security guards. Yeah, they protecting

0:41:20.560 --> 0:41:24.160
<v Speaker 1>and that, and they can't give them any orders beyond that.

0:41:24.320 --> 0:41:26.400
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of just like, hey, protect the planet and

0:41:26.440 --> 0:41:28.680
<v Speaker 1>whatever else you guys are doing. I don't want to know,

0:41:28.840 --> 0:41:33.680
<v Speaker 1>because you know they're out here doing side quests for Moncalamari,

0:41:34.520 --> 0:41:39.319
<v Speaker 1>you know. So Bo is like, well, I'd like to

0:41:39.320 --> 0:41:41.840
<v Speaker 1>meet with these Mandalorians. I I have to talk with

0:41:41.880 --> 0:41:44.880
<v Speaker 1>them about some very urgent business. And the royal couples

0:41:44.920 --> 0:41:47.760
<v Speaker 1>like that's a great idea, but we have some things

0:41:47.760 --> 0:41:50.920
<v Speaker 1>that we'd like you to take care of u A. First,

0:41:51.200 --> 0:41:54.799
<v Speaker 1>we're having issues with our droid workforce. They say, we

0:41:54.920 --> 0:41:59.000
<v Speaker 1>have a lot of a lot of droids here, including

0:41:59.040 --> 0:42:02.640
<v Speaker 1>separatist battle Joy former separatist battle Rays have been reconditioned

0:42:02.800 --> 0:42:08.319
<v Speaker 1>for you know, regular blue collar work, and they're acting up.

0:42:09.239 --> 0:42:12.759
<v Speaker 1>They're either refusing work or deleting tasks. And it all

0:42:12.760 --> 0:42:15.360
<v Speaker 1>seemed at first to be kind of innocent, but now

0:42:15.440 --> 0:42:19.279
<v Speaker 1>there's been some some violence involved, some assaults, people have

0:42:19.280 --> 0:42:22.319
<v Speaker 1>been injured in its becoming more serious. Can Bow and

0:42:22.360 --> 0:42:27.759
<v Speaker 1>Din look into it? And Bo is like the Mandalorians thing,

0:42:28.000 --> 0:42:28.600
<v Speaker 1>just take care of that.

0:42:28.800 --> 0:42:30.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you can give them an order, you can tell

0:42:30.800 --> 0:42:31.960
<v Speaker 2>them that why would we have to do.

0:42:32.440 --> 0:42:37.320
<v Speaker 1>But you know, again, the the Charter of Plaza fifteen

0:42:37.760 --> 0:42:41.480
<v Speaker 1>stipulates that no kind of armed forces can enter the city.

0:42:42.239 --> 0:42:49.640
<v Speaker 1>But there's another loophole. Because of the multicultural society that

0:42:49.680 --> 0:42:55.920
<v Speaker 1>they are building here respects the cultures of the people

0:42:56.000 --> 0:42:59.200
<v Speaker 1>that are there, which is a wonderful thing. Bo and

0:42:59.280 --> 0:43:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Din can therefore or come armed into the city because

0:43:02.680 --> 0:43:05.840
<v Speaker 1>their weaponry, their armor is intrinsic to their culture and

0:43:05.840 --> 0:43:06.800
<v Speaker 1>therefore it's fine.

0:43:07.080 --> 0:43:10.000
<v Speaker 2>So, as you can see, this was a very cynical invitation.

0:43:10.680 --> 0:43:14.239
<v Speaker 2>They knew that this would be useful to them. Yes,

0:43:14.760 --> 0:43:17.799
<v Speaker 2>and bombaed it. Jack Black sells it very well. It's

0:43:18.120 --> 0:43:20.320
<v Speaker 2>such a great coincidence. But also, if you want to

0:43:20.320 --> 0:43:22.840
<v Speaker 2>speak to the Mandalorians, go so out our droid problem

0:43:22.920 --> 0:43:23.960
<v Speaker 2>and they.

0:43:23.760 --> 0:43:26.880
<v Speaker 1>Offer actually a very very juicy nugget in return. The

0:43:27.000 --> 0:43:33.040
<v Speaker 1>deal that they offer is in return for helping the

0:43:33.160 --> 0:43:36.960
<v Speaker 1>Plausure fifteen out with their droid problem, Plausure fifteen would

0:43:37.040 --> 0:43:42.759
<v Speaker 1>formally recognize the new mandalor the currently repopulating Mandalor as

0:43:42.920 --> 0:43:47.120
<v Speaker 1>a sovereign system and then would lobby the new Republic

0:43:47.160 --> 0:43:49.399
<v Speaker 1>to do the same. That's actually like a huge deal.

0:43:49.480 --> 0:43:50.960
<v Speaker 2>That's a huge deal. Let me ask you a question

0:43:51.000 --> 0:43:56.080
<v Speaker 2>about this then, So this basically establishes that no question,

0:43:57.040 --> 0:44:00.440
<v Speaker 2>this rumors and rumblings of them repopulating them law is

0:44:00.440 --> 0:44:03.120
<v Speaker 2>out in the world, because that's not just a lucky guess,

0:44:03.200 --> 0:44:06.720
<v Speaker 2>that's right. Like they absolutely come to this with a

0:44:06.920 --> 0:44:09.040
<v Speaker 2>knowledge that this is something that's going on, which probably

0:44:09.040 --> 0:44:11.200
<v Speaker 2>means other people are going to hear about it too.

0:44:11.440 --> 0:44:13.080
<v Speaker 2>And we can assume as we get into these last

0:44:13.080 --> 0:44:15.680
<v Speaker 2>two episodes of the season, I think that that will

0:44:15.680 --> 0:44:18.880
<v Speaker 2>be good because lots of Mandalorians will probably come to Mandalore,

0:44:18.920 --> 0:44:21.040
<v Speaker 2>but it will also be bad because people will know

0:44:21.080 --> 0:44:23.960
<v Speaker 2>where to find the Mandalorians and Din and Bow if

0:44:24.000 --> 0:44:24.560
<v Speaker 2>they need to.

0:44:25.880 --> 0:44:30.720
<v Speaker 1>Bo thinks that this diplomatic deal is really, really great,

0:44:31.000 --> 0:44:33.279
<v Speaker 1>and dinner is just like I just want to kill

0:44:33.400 --> 0:44:36.440
<v Speaker 1>Troy hate. I want to kill him. I like one droid.

0:44:36.480 --> 0:44:40.520
<v Speaker 1>That's it, and he's dead. He's dead, and all the

0:44:40.560 --> 0:44:42.440
<v Speaker 1>rest of them can go to hell. So they go

0:44:42.600 --> 0:44:47.560
<v Speaker 1>to see the Security Commissioner. He's basically the head of

0:44:47.600 --> 0:44:51.800
<v Speaker 1>all their defense infrastructure, and he it's a star studed episode.

0:44:51.840 --> 0:44:55.400
<v Speaker 1>He is played by Christopher Lloyd, the legendary Chris Lloyd.

0:44:55.560 --> 0:44:58.480
<v Speaker 2>You really don't think after they do like Lizzo and

0:44:58.600 --> 0:45:01.719
<v Speaker 2>Jack Flat, which just feels very contemporary, and you don't

0:45:01.719 --> 0:45:03.960
<v Speaker 2>really expect to then just see like Dark Brown, our

0:45:04.080 --> 0:45:09.000
<v Speaker 2>uncle Fast. You're one of the most influential character actors

0:45:09.000 --> 0:45:11.719
<v Speaker 2>and comedians of our generation, especially if you love the

0:45:11.800 --> 0:45:13.719
<v Speaker 2>kind of stuff we love. And they just casually have

0:45:13.840 --> 0:45:19.640
<v Speaker 2>him that just being in charge of treat any five.

0:45:20.680 --> 0:45:24.840
<v Speaker 1>So then uh, the Commissioner plays them some of the

0:45:24.840 --> 0:45:27.719
<v Speaker 1>security tapes of the various incidents, and some of them

0:45:27.760 --> 0:45:29.000
<v Speaker 1>are comical.

0:45:30.600 --> 0:45:32.560
<v Speaker 2>And groceries around.

0:45:32.760 --> 0:45:35.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and then a crash car and then a Benny

0:45:35.480 --> 0:45:37.160
<v Speaker 1>Hannah chef goes nuts.

0:45:37.600 --> 0:45:40.760
<v Speaker 2>That was my favorite one. One, like who was thinking

0:45:40.760 --> 0:45:43.799
<v Speaker 2>of putting some general grievous style guy in charge of

0:45:43.880 --> 0:45:47.840
<v Speaker 2>doing you know, Beni Hannah that's cooking. And my favorite

0:45:47.840 --> 0:45:52.480
<v Speaker 2>pie is when he turns he is wheeled in those

0:45:56.400 --> 0:45:57.000
<v Speaker 2>good stuff.

0:45:57.080 --> 0:46:00.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So Baul asks an important question, which is like,

0:46:00.480 --> 0:46:03.040
<v Speaker 1>let's just turn them off, just turn them off. Well,

0:46:03.360 --> 0:46:07.520
<v Speaker 1>here's why. Here on h On Neman Marcus planet, Neman

0:46:07.600 --> 0:46:12.799
<v Speaker 1>Marcus uh, the neoliberal jewel of the outer rim. All

0:46:12.880 --> 0:46:15.600
<v Speaker 1>of our citizens here on Plaza or fifteen live a

0:46:15.640 --> 0:46:19.520
<v Speaker 1>fucking life of consumers leisure. They don't lift a finger.

0:46:19.560 --> 0:46:21.000
<v Speaker 1>The droids do everything.

0:46:21.040 --> 0:46:22.920
<v Speaker 2>Seems like a problem just saying.

0:46:24.560 --> 0:46:28.040
<v Speaker 1>There are some moral and athnical issues. Hyah, we can

0:46:28.080 --> 0:46:30.920
<v Speaker 1>get into it because there are some obvious issues that

0:46:31.040 --> 0:46:33.480
<v Speaker 1>become that come to the surface, you know, or at

0:46:33.560 --> 0:46:37.360
<v Speaker 1>least the subtextual service in this episode, and you know,

0:46:37.560 --> 0:46:40.719
<v Speaker 1>essentially the Commissioner's like, listen, people don't want to work anymore,

0:46:41.360 --> 0:46:44.040
<v Speaker 1>and honestly, right and if you turn the droids off,

0:46:44.080 --> 0:46:45.520
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna have to go to work. They're gonna have

0:46:45.560 --> 0:46:47.759
<v Speaker 1>to work as Benny Hanna chef's. They're gonna have to

0:46:47.920 --> 0:46:50.680
<v Speaker 1>work as drivers. They're gonna have to they're gonna have

0:46:50.680 --> 0:46:52.360
<v Speaker 1>to carry people's.

0:46:52.000 --> 0:46:53.759
<v Speaker 2>They're gonna have to space grub hops.

0:46:53.800 --> 0:46:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they're gonna have to carry the the fucking Captain

0:46:56.840 --> 0:46:59.719
<v Speaker 1>Bombadier's like groceries to his house. And they're not gonna

0:46:59.719 --> 0:47:02.000
<v Speaker 1>want to do that in society. We collapse and they're like, Okay,

0:47:02.080 --> 0:47:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Bowen and is a very.

0:47:03.760 --> 0:47:07.360
<v Speaker 2>Big red button that he claims, well, turned them all on,

0:47:07.560 --> 0:47:10.319
<v Speaker 2>a big, extremely ominous button. I feel like that would

0:47:10.360 --> 0:47:12.239
<v Speaker 2>be a more sensible way to do that, and we

0:47:12.280 --> 0:47:14.000
<v Speaker 2>will find out lat the button is ominous.

0:47:14.080 --> 0:47:18.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So Bowen didn't go and see the the other

0:47:19.960 --> 0:47:25.240
<v Speaker 1>people that do manual labor, skilled labor here in Plazia fifteen,

0:47:25.280 --> 0:47:28.080
<v Speaker 1>and it's the ugnots, the mechanics who basically keep everything

0:47:28.160 --> 0:47:30.360
<v Speaker 1>run and keep all the droids running and do a

0:47:30.440 --> 0:47:32.879
<v Speaker 1>bunch of the other kind of maintenance work around here.

0:47:33.160 --> 0:47:36.200
<v Speaker 1>Did knows how to talk to them, and he manages

0:47:36.239 --> 0:47:39.759
<v Speaker 1>to get some information out of them over drinks. The

0:47:39.920 --> 0:47:44.840
<v Speaker 1>ug Knots insist the droids are not malfunctioning because Ugnots

0:47:44.880 --> 0:47:46.160
<v Speaker 1>are very particular about their work.

0:47:46.320 --> 0:47:47.640
<v Speaker 2>And to say that is like an insult.

0:47:47.719 --> 0:47:51.240
<v Speaker 1>It's an insult because you're saying ugnot work is not good,

0:47:51.680 --> 0:47:53.680
<v Speaker 1>because why else would these droids be?

0:47:53.920 --> 0:47:56.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I function. We get a great moment here where

0:47:56.200 --> 0:47:59.319
<v Speaker 2>Bo as the princess. She doesn't know how to talk

0:47:59.360 --> 0:48:01.440
<v Speaker 2>to normal people. She doesn't know how to talk to

0:48:01.440 --> 0:48:02.680
<v Speaker 2>agnats who valued.

0:48:02.480 --> 0:48:07.960
<v Speaker 1>That health here in the Duchess she's fine, princess, you know, like,

0:48:08.000 --> 0:48:09.520
<v Speaker 1>oh wow, this is great.

0:48:09.520 --> 0:48:13.040
<v Speaker 2>But we actually get to see Dinn showcasing his talent

0:48:13.120 --> 0:48:17.000
<v Speaker 2>with people, showing how wildly is showing the common touch.

0:48:17.200 --> 0:48:20.239
<v Speaker 2>He's a man of the people, like you're standing on

0:48:20.280 --> 0:48:21.440
<v Speaker 2>those pieces of paper.

0:48:21.320 --> 0:48:23.960
<v Speaker 1>That's right. And so he managed to get some information

0:48:24.000 --> 0:48:25.000
<v Speaker 1>out of them.

0:48:25.280 --> 0:48:25.640
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:48:25.680 --> 0:48:30.600
<v Speaker 1>And that information is the location of the droids that

0:48:30.680 --> 0:48:34.720
<v Speaker 1>have malfunctioned in the past. So detectives Crez and Jarren

0:48:34.800 --> 0:48:37.080
<v Speaker 1>head to a spaceport loading doct this is where they've

0:48:37.080 --> 0:48:41.360
<v Speaker 1>been sent and the manager Droid says, hey, how are you?

0:48:41.880 --> 0:48:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Don't worry? All our certifications are up to date and

0:48:44.440 --> 0:48:48.520
<v Speaker 1>all these above board. Roger, Roger, no need for the

0:48:48.520 --> 0:48:51.040
<v Speaker 1>police here. You can be on your way. Can I

0:48:51.080 --> 0:48:56.160
<v Speaker 1>see your warrant? And uh, den. Jarren then goes into

0:48:56.200 --> 0:48:59.160
<v Speaker 1>his good cop bad cop, which is all bad cops,

0:49:00.360 --> 0:49:02.600
<v Speaker 1>and says, we don't need no stinking warrants. Here's what

0:49:02.680 --> 0:49:06.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna do. I'm gonna just kick, physically assault these

0:49:06.440 --> 0:49:07.320
<v Speaker 1>hard working droids.

0:49:07.440 --> 0:49:11.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna just kick every single droid until one gets stressed. Yeah,

0:49:11.719 --> 0:49:14.920
<v Speaker 2>it's terrible behavior. It's an awful baitful baby.

0:49:15.040 --> 0:49:17.319
<v Speaker 1>So that he kicks a droid and one droid's like hey.

0:49:18.080 --> 0:49:21.960
<v Speaker 1>He defends himself and then realizes it's been outed as

0:49:22.000 --> 0:49:24.200
<v Speaker 1>one of these droids that now can think on its own,

0:49:24.719 --> 0:49:26.560
<v Speaker 1>runs away and.

0:49:27.040 --> 0:49:28.520
<v Speaker 2>He just tries to shoot it.

0:49:28.560 --> 0:49:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Bowen didn't chase it down and shoot it in the back,

0:49:31.239 --> 0:49:34.080
<v Speaker 1>just like real cops. Very realistic.

0:49:34.160 --> 0:49:37.960
<v Speaker 2>Actually they shoot this pulling in the book. He was

0:49:38.040 --> 0:49:41.319
<v Speaker 2>just doing his job, just carrying a corboard box, and

0:49:41.480 --> 0:49:44.520
<v Speaker 2>Din's Nash waving a hand in front of him kicking him.

0:49:44.560 --> 0:49:46.520
<v Speaker 2>Bad behavior. Not a fan, not a fan.

0:49:47.560 --> 0:49:50.320
<v Speaker 1>But this is the way things work on Plaza fifteen,

0:49:50.360 --> 0:49:52.920
<v Speaker 1>and we got to keep the society going. And I

0:49:52.960 --> 0:49:55.480
<v Speaker 1>get it. Bo finds a spark pad on the droid's

0:49:55.760 --> 0:49:58.840
<v Speaker 1>carcass and it leads them to a droid bar. The resister,

0:49:59.120 --> 0:50:01.719
<v Speaker 1>and it's a lot ively place, you know, lots of

0:50:02.400 --> 0:50:06.200
<v Speaker 1>happy droids having enjoying some R and R and all

0:50:06.239 --> 0:50:08.680
<v Speaker 1>of that ground still halt as soon as Bowen Din

0:50:08.760 --> 0:50:09.120
<v Speaker 1>walk in.

0:50:09.480 --> 0:50:11.960
<v Speaker 2>They got big snitch energy. You know, there is a

0:50:12.000 --> 0:50:13.000
<v Speaker 2>problem when they walk in.

0:50:13.120 --> 0:50:15.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they get many of our kind here.

0:50:15.120 --> 0:50:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Dinn says, no ship now, yeah, why yeah. The bartender

0:50:18.719 --> 0:50:23.160
<v Speaker 1>is very standoffish until Dinn turns on the charm by saying,

0:50:23.239 --> 0:50:25.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna dissect your fucking brain.

0:50:25.880 --> 0:50:31.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah and pulls out like in a little electronic like taste, like.

0:50:31.239 --> 0:50:34.239
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna cattle fraud you. And then I'm gonna cut your.

0:50:34.120 --> 0:50:37.960
<v Speaker 2>Head off and I'll just take memory caught out and

0:50:38.000 --> 0:50:40.240
<v Speaker 2>like melt it so I can find out your secrets.

0:50:40.280 --> 0:50:42.000
<v Speaker 2>He's this man has problems. He needs to go to

0:50:42.120 --> 0:50:45.640
<v Speaker 2>like armor therapy. Go talk about best scarf, you bestcar

0:50:45.800 --> 0:50:48.440
<v Speaker 2>so much. How about you treat some metal droids nice.

0:50:48.480 --> 0:50:52.759
<v Speaker 1>Not exactly you know, clothing, this mission and honor here,

0:50:52.840 --> 0:50:53.560
<v Speaker 1>we're just like.

0:50:54.120 --> 0:51:00.680
<v Speaker 2>The Mandalorians, are strugglingly threatening these mechanical life forms a sentient.

0:51:00.840 --> 0:51:04.640
<v Speaker 2>Let's be real, it's not cool, it's not okay, but be.

0:51:04.680 --> 0:51:07.360
<v Speaker 1>That as it may they do manage to get some

0:51:07.400 --> 0:51:10.279
<v Speaker 1>information out of the bartender. The bartender offers that and

0:51:10.320 --> 0:51:12.920
<v Speaker 1>this is actually a wonderful moment where we get to

0:51:13.000 --> 0:51:16.240
<v Speaker 1>understand the kind of texture and fabric of this droid community.

0:51:16.239 --> 0:51:20.359
<v Speaker 1>He says, Listen, the droid community here is just as

0:51:20.400 --> 0:51:23.920
<v Speaker 1>concerned about the incidence as anyone else. We have a

0:51:23.920 --> 0:51:27.480
<v Speaker 1>lot of older models here that would have been decommissioned

0:51:27.640 --> 0:51:31.200
<v Speaker 1>and scrapped anywhere else in the galaxy. But here they've

0:51:31.440 --> 0:51:33.120
<v Speaker 1>found a place where they can still work and be

0:51:33.160 --> 0:51:39.160
<v Speaker 1>of use. And if public opinion turns against droids because

0:51:39.200 --> 0:51:41.960
<v Speaker 1>of all the things going on here, then they're going

0:51:42.040 --> 0:51:47.319
<v Speaker 1>to be out of home and probably potentially scrapped. And

0:51:47.360 --> 0:51:50.360
<v Speaker 1>the bartender then says, you know, we want to help humans.

0:51:50.440 --> 0:51:53.600
<v Speaker 1>Human life. It says, quote, human life is so short.

0:51:53.960 --> 0:51:56.239
<v Speaker 1>Organic's created us. It's the least we can do. And

0:51:56.280 --> 0:52:00.200
<v Speaker 1>all the droids are like, yeah, don't kill us. Please,

0:52:02.480 --> 0:52:06.960
<v Speaker 1>look how much we love human we love their groceries. Please.

0:52:08.480 --> 0:52:10.840
<v Speaker 1>I want to cook for them.

0:52:11.239 --> 0:52:13.479
<v Speaker 2>I want to chomp up vegetables on a hop plate.

0:52:13.719 --> 0:52:17.040
<v Speaker 1>I want to do it. Please don't let them scrap us,

0:52:17.080 --> 0:52:19.040
<v Speaker 1>din Jar and you could kick me in the in

0:52:19.080 --> 0:52:24.319
<v Speaker 1>the thigh all you want, So they then bowed in.

0:52:24.440 --> 0:52:30.399
<v Speaker 1>Then uh trace uh the issue from this part using

0:52:30.440 --> 0:52:35.640
<v Speaker 1>this uh, the information from this bartender to tainted nepenthe,

0:52:35.680 --> 0:52:39.040
<v Speaker 1>which is this kind of droid lubricant that droids drink,

0:52:39.880 --> 0:52:42.640
<v Speaker 1>but it also acts as like a delivery system for

0:52:42.760 --> 0:52:43.960
<v Speaker 1>like new code.

0:52:43.680 --> 0:52:47.040
<v Speaker 2>Which is very cool, really really cool. Basically, it reprograms

0:52:47.040 --> 0:52:48.680
<v Speaker 2>them as they drink it, and the idea is to

0:52:48.760 --> 0:52:51.719
<v Speaker 2>patch the software to keep them in this kind of

0:52:51.880 --> 0:52:56.120
<v Speaker 2>new program state. And it's delectable. So somebody has tainted

0:52:56.120 --> 0:52:59.320
<v Speaker 2>it and is reprogramming them for their own nefarious means.

0:52:59.520 --> 0:53:04.120
<v Speaker 1>So they go of the droid Morgue rip to the

0:53:04.160 --> 0:53:06.360
<v Speaker 1>droids and the droid morg and Bow and Din go

0:53:06.480 --> 0:53:12.360
<v Speaker 1>there and they have the kind of mortician takes some

0:53:12.560 --> 0:53:17.440
<v Speaker 1>of the liquid that is in this this droid who

0:53:17.480 --> 0:53:21.120
<v Speaker 1>has fell victim to whatever is in the nepenthe, and it's,

0:53:21.640 --> 0:53:24.239
<v Speaker 1>by the way, it is either a B two that

0:53:24.360 --> 0:53:28.880
<v Speaker 1>has malfunctioned or it's the one they just but be

0:53:29.040 --> 0:53:33.719
<v Speaker 1>that as it may. They then analyze the analyze the

0:53:34.360 --> 0:53:37.000
<v Speaker 1>liquid and there and Din is like, I wonder if

0:53:37.040 --> 0:53:41.239
<v Speaker 1>this stuff, you know, is still causing droid's malfunction, and

0:53:41.320 --> 0:53:43.640
<v Speaker 1>that is answered in the affirmative when the assistant droid

0:53:43.640 --> 0:53:45.400
<v Speaker 1>in the room goes nuts and has to be chopped

0:53:45.400 --> 0:53:49.000
<v Speaker 1>in half with the dark Saver. Analysis of the liquid

0:53:49.080 --> 0:53:52.520
<v Speaker 1>reveals that there's particles in there. These particles are nanodroids,

0:53:53.000 --> 0:53:55.800
<v Speaker 1>and furthermore, there's writing on the nanodroid. It's in the

0:53:55.840 --> 0:53:58.479
<v Speaker 1>writing is a chain code, and the chain code leads

0:53:58.520 --> 0:54:01.200
<v Speaker 1>them to the information. These parts were created years ago

0:54:01.320 --> 0:54:05.680
<v Speaker 1>by the Techno Union, which is a an organization from

0:54:05.719 --> 0:54:09.120
<v Speaker 1>back during the Clone Wars pre Clone Wars days that

0:54:09.320 --> 0:54:12.799
<v Speaker 1>was actually part of the separatist movement, and it was

0:54:12.920 --> 0:54:16.400
<v Speaker 1>like this union of all the kind of technological manufacturers

0:54:16.440 --> 0:54:21.360
<v Speaker 1>throughout the throughout the galaxy, and that someone ordered on

0:54:21.480 --> 0:54:26.040
<v Speaker 1>Space Amazon this this, these nanodroids.

0:54:25.400 --> 0:54:27.200
<v Speaker 2>Not even the dock Web, it was literally just space.

0:54:27.400 --> 0:54:30.240
<v Speaker 2>They find this stuff very quickly.

0:54:30.320 --> 0:54:32.759
<v Speaker 1>His credit card is right there associated with it, and

0:54:32.800 --> 0:54:35.839
<v Speaker 1>it's none other than Commissioner Hellgate.

0:54:35.520 --> 0:54:37.120
<v Speaker 2>The d Commissioner of.

0:54:37.160 --> 0:54:40.239
<v Speaker 1>Security, head of Security him self. He ordered the nanodroids.

0:54:40.239 --> 0:54:42.160
<v Speaker 1>He's behind all this. They go to confront him, and

0:54:42.160 --> 0:54:46.719
<v Speaker 1>it turns out Commissioner's a separatist. He's an unreformed ducalist.

0:54:47.280 --> 0:54:49.000
<v Speaker 1>He's like Doku was a visionary.

0:54:49.360 --> 0:54:52.320
<v Speaker 2>I say, look, from what we've seen in the recent anima,

0:54:53.719 --> 0:54:55.640
<v Speaker 2>he had, he had some thoughts.

0:54:55.719 --> 0:55:00.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't disagree with I he obviously in a way

0:55:00.280 --> 0:55:02.640
<v Speaker 1>and I'm saying this in a way that is completely

0:55:02.680 --> 0:55:06.000
<v Speaker 1>different from saga Aria. He went too far, he did.

0:55:06.400 --> 0:55:10.480
<v Speaker 2>He did go too far. But you know, we got

0:55:10.520 --> 0:55:13.880
<v Speaker 2>to see that kind of disillusion that he felt. And

0:55:13.880 --> 0:55:14.960
<v Speaker 2>he's both sides.

0:55:15.040 --> 0:55:21.480
<v Speaker 1>He's about to like unpack the entire Dukalist ideology. BO

0:55:21.760 --> 0:55:25.600
<v Speaker 1>just tranks him as like a politics.

0:55:24.800 --> 0:55:27.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to get it. I'm not saying, we know,

0:55:27.320 --> 0:55:30.239
<v Speaker 2>don't judge a book by its cover. Don't you know,

0:55:30.400 --> 0:55:32.960
<v Speaker 2>judge somebody by their name. That can be very problematic.

0:55:33.000 --> 0:55:35.920
<v Speaker 2>This man's name was hell Gates. I'm just saying, like,

0:55:36.360 --> 0:55:38.279
<v Speaker 2>just giving him one extra look. He's in charge of

0:55:38.280 --> 0:55:41.439
<v Speaker 2>the droids. He's got a very suspicious, narratively relevant name.

0:55:41.800 --> 0:55:43.360
<v Speaker 2>Probably shouldn't have taken you long to get hit.

0:55:43.440 --> 0:55:46.799
<v Speaker 1>So we got the guy. Case closed. Head back to

0:55:46.840 --> 0:55:49.520
<v Speaker 1>the Royal party room, where the Duchess is cheating at

0:55:49.560 --> 0:55:51.600
<v Speaker 1>bachi ball with the help of Grogu.

0:55:51.880 --> 0:55:52.840
<v Speaker 2>Does she great time?

0:55:53.280 --> 0:55:55.640
<v Speaker 1>Does she know that Grogu is helping her cheat. I

0:55:55.640 --> 0:55:58.440
<v Speaker 1>don't know, I mean, no one. She's hitting shots that

0:55:58.560 --> 0:56:00.799
<v Speaker 1>no one ever hit in the she is.

0:56:01.080 --> 0:56:04.480
<v Speaker 2>I think when you are that level of wealthy and powerful,

0:56:04.640 --> 0:56:06.480
<v Speaker 2>people just say yes to you all the time and

0:56:06.520 --> 0:56:08.640
<v Speaker 2>they kind of just let you do whatever you do

0:56:08.680 --> 0:56:10.600
<v Speaker 2>and they go, oh, darling, you're winning, and they move,

0:56:11.040 --> 0:56:13.839
<v Speaker 2>they move the little hooks you know that you play

0:56:13.880 --> 0:56:15.880
<v Speaker 2>the crochet with and all that kind of biz.

0:56:15.880 --> 0:56:19.440
<v Speaker 1>The ug knots relegated to the underworld, the way the

0:56:19.520 --> 0:56:22.160
<v Speaker 1>droids are cheated. The fact that the Duchess is like

0:56:22.320 --> 0:56:24.879
<v Speaker 1>openly cheating at a game and doesn't give a shit

0:56:24.920 --> 0:56:28.160
<v Speaker 1>about it. There's some red flags here. It may everybody seems.

0:56:27.920 --> 0:56:30.160
<v Speaker 2>To you know what, though, Grogu he's having a great time,

0:56:31.680 --> 0:56:34.760
<v Speaker 2>loving it, play in, doing some flips, using the force.

0:56:35.480 --> 0:56:38.600
<v Speaker 2>You know. The Duchess just wants to snuggle him constantly,

0:56:38.640 --> 0:56:40.840
<v Speaker 2>and he seems very happy about that too. He's just

0:56:40.880 --> 0:56:41.600
<v Speaker 2>having a good time.

0:56:41.640 --> 0:56:44.120
<v Speaker 1>So Bowen didn't deliver Commissioner Hellgate, and they're like, this

0:56:44.200 --> 0:56:47.000
<v Speaker 1>is the guy. He did it all. The Duchess offers

0:56:48.880 --> 0:56:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Hellgate the same compassion that the planet and its society

0:56:52.360 --> 0:56:58.799
<v Speaker 1>has showed her husband. Captain Bombardier, former member of the

0:56:58.920 --> 0:57:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Dreaded Empire, and you know, can the commissioner do the same,

0:57:04.600 --> 0:57:09.560
<v Speaker 1>Can the commissioner forgive Captain Bombardier for his imperial past

0:57:09.600 --> 0:57:11.239
<v Speaker 1>and the things that they've done. And he's like, I

0:57:11.280 --> 0:57:14.279
<v Speaker 1>don't know, maybe maybe i'll get there.

0:57:14.360 --> 0:57:16.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm an old dad, And.

0:57:16.120 --> 0:57:18.080
<v Speaker 1>So they're like, okay, well until you figure it out,

0:57:18.080 --> 0:57:20.480
<v Speaker 1>you're e You're going to the moon, all.

0:57:20.480 --> 0:57:22.560
<v Speaker 2>Right, and humans off the guide on the moon.

0:57:22.480 --> 0:57:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Bye bye. So Bowen didn't get their audience with Axe Wolves,

0:57:28.040 --> 0:57:29.760
<v Speaker 1>and they also get the key to plus your.

0:57:29.680 --> 0:57:32.720
<v Speaker 2>Face a huge's huge, huge key ridiculous.

0:57:33.600 --> 0:57:35.919
<v Speaker 1>On the ride over, bow is kind of worried because

0:57:35.920 --> 0:57:39.400
<v Speaker 1>obviously her and Axe had this falling out and acts

0:57:39.440 --> 0:57:42.560
<v Speaker 1>and his people don't really respect her because she didn't

0:57:43.560 --> 0:57:47.240
<v Speaker 1>win the Dark Saber and the time Honored Way, and

0:57:47.360 --> 0:57:50.760
<v Speaker 1>did says, listen, whatever you decide, I will support you,

0:57:50.800 --> 0:57:53.760
<v Speaker 1>which is wonderful. They find the Mandlorids drinking space coffee

0:57:53.760 --> 0:57:56.880
<v Speaker 1>by their ships, just hanging out. I've come to reclaim

0:57:56.880 --> 0:58:01.560
<v Speaker 1>my fleet, you know, bo says, and Axes like, well,

0:58:01.720 --> 0:58:03.840
<v Speaker 1>I like it. I'm not giving it up. And I

0:58:04.000 --> 0:58:07.000
<v Speaker 1>found you one warrior to another and it's on like

0:58:07.080 --> 0:58:11.920
<v Speaker 1>oldro On. Great fight, Yeah, and Bo wins, but that

0:58:12.040 --> 0:58:15.640
<v Speaker 1>doesn't change the fact in axis eyes and the eyes

0:58:15.680 --> 0:58:18.439
<v Speaker 1>of all the people that follow him, that she can't

0:58:18.520 --> 0:58:21.120
<v Speaker 1>lead because she doesn't wield the Dark Saber. And then

0:58:21.200 --> 0:58:28.880
<v Speaker 1>Dinn is like Holloo, like Matt Locke, like Columber. Hold on,

0:58:30.000 --> 0:58:33.000
<v Speaker 1>I have some information here that you might be interested in.

0:58:33.120 --> 0:58:38.320
<v Speaker 1>Legally speaking, now officially, I think you could argue that

0:58:38.520 --> 0:58:43.600
<v Speaker 1>I am just holding the Dark Saber for Bo because

0:58:44.600 --> 0:58:47.240
<v Speaker 1>when I was on mandalor exploring it for a very

0:58:47.240 --> 0:58:50.080
<v Speaker 1>short period of time before I got molly wopped by

0:58:50.120 --> 0:58:52.840
<v Speaker 1>a spine up by a spider or whatever it was,

0:58:53.320 --> 0:58:57.439
<v Speaker 1>I lost the Dark Saber to the afore the aforementioned

0:58:57.480 --> 0:59:03.160
<v Speaker 1>spider guy, Bo saved my life killed the spider. Therefore,

0:59:03.760 --> 0:59:06.080
<v Speaker 1>by the transitive law of the Dark Saber, which is

0:59:06.320 --> 0:59:11.480
<v Speaker 1>otherwise the space addendum to ellerwand law, is it not

0:59:11.640 --> 0:59:16.040
<v Speaker 1>true that Bou is the rightful owner of the Dark Saber?

0:59:16.400 --> 0:59:18.160
<v Speaker 1>Ax Wolves, what say you? And Ax is like you

0:59:18.160 --> 0:59:18.480
<v Speaker 1>got me?

0:59:18.600 --> 0:59:21.880
<v Speaker 2>He's like, you're right because because Dinn's like, did she

0:59:21.960 --> 0:59:25.920
<v Speaker 2>not defeat the one who defeated me? And it's true?

0:59:26.000 --> 0:59:27.800
<v Speaker 2>And I would just like to say we pointed this

0:59:27.840 --> 0:59:30.960
<v Speaker 2>out on that and not only asked. We had a

0:59:31.040 --> 0:59:34.080
<v Speaker 2>listener who eight days ago Brian emailed us and said

0:59:34.080 --> 0:59:36.560
<v Speaker 2>he believed this would be the way things played out.

0:59:36.560 --> 0:59:38.080
<v Speaker 2>And Brian was right, and we were right.

0:59:38.120 --> 0:59:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Shouts like Sagerera, you see the truth.

0:59:44.400 --> 0:59:46.640
<v Speaker 2>So Bo has a baby, the dark sabers back and

0:59:46.680 --> 0:59:49.520
<v Speaker 2>thank god, honestly, because let's be real, Dinn was that

0:59:49.760 --> 0:59:53.440
<v Speaker 2>was like he was not doing it. He needed more time,

0:59:54.120 --> 0:59:56.000
<v Speaker 2>He did not know how to wield it. It was still

0:59:56.080 --> 0:59:57.880
<v Speaker 2>very happy to hear me. He did not have the connection.

0:59:57.960 --> 1:00:00.960
<v Speaker 2>And Bo was just looking light fro like it was

1:00:00.960 --> 1:00:01.240
<v Speaker 2>made for.

1:00:01.400 --> 1:00:02.720
<v Speaker 1>He was gonna hurt his back every time.

1:00:02.760 --> 1:00:05.640
<v Speaker 2>He exactly might have killed the baby. It was looking bad,

1:00:05.680 --> 1:00:09.680
<v Speaker 2>it was looking dangerous. This was the best option, and

1:00:09.720 --> 1:00:14.080
<v Speaker 2>I also love that. Really, I think they just wanted

1:00:14.080 --> 1:00:17.480
<v Speaker 2>Bo to be their leader because like it's very convoluted.

1:00:18.040 --> 1:00:19.920
<v Speaker 2>Did he did she really win it in combat? I

1:00:19.920 --> 1:00:21.760
<v Speaker 2>don't know if you could argue that, but she defeated

1:00:22.040 --> 1:00:24.400
<v Speaker 2>and they're just like cool Saturday.

1:00:25.360 --> 1:00:28.520
<v Speaker 1>We got the fleetback, We got the old imperial ships back.

1:00:29.640 --> 1:00:34.560
<v Speaker 1>This is a wonderful episode. It continues, this show continues

1:00:34.600 --> 1:00:35.400
<v Speaker 1>to look great.

1:00:36.400 --> 1:00:38.360
<v Speaker 2>It feels like all of Disney's budget is going to

1:00:38.440 --> 1:00:40.200
<v Speaker 2>this show. Every time I watch it, I'm like, it

1:00:40.240 --> 1:00:43.320
<v Speaker 2>looks so much better. Whatever ILM is doing over there,

1:00:43.760 --> 1:00:47.040
<v Speaker 2>please do that for those MCU movies that aren't connecting

1:00:47.080 --> 1:00:49.440
<v Speaker 2>as well with people, because these worlds feel so lived in.

1:00:49.720 --> 1:00:54.040
<v Speaker 2>The fights are so brilliant, the creature work is so fantastic.

1:00:54.080 --> 1:00:56.440
<v Speaker 2>We get so much of that fun stuff. The costuming,

1:00:57.360 --> 1:01:00.439
<v Speaker 2>the Duchess's outfit that's kind of this brilliant practice dress,

1:01:00.480 --> 1:01:03.600
<v Speaker 2>but behind her is this kind of holographic flower. There's

1:01:03.640 --> 1:01:06.120
<v Speaker 2>just so much fun to be had to know.

1:01:06.160 --> 1:01:10.600
<v Speaker 1>How the the foot race with the unfortunate droid that

1:01:10.640 --> 1:01:16.560
<v Speaker 1>then gets dishonorably gunned down from behind, because that the

1:01:16.640 --> 1:01:20.560
<v Speaker 1>movement was like really human, like I wonder if it

1:01:20.600 --> 1:01:22.160
<v Speaker 1>was Mo capp or what it was it.

1:01:22.960 --> 1:01:24.400
<v Speaker 2>And it made it hit even hard.

1:01:24.520 --> 1:01:27.320
<v Speaker 1>It looked really really really cool. And I think this

1:01:27.480 --> 1:01:30.959
<v Speaker 1>was like my favorite by far, my favorite col open

1:01:30.960 --> 1:01:33.440
<v Speaker 1>of the season and maybe my favorite call open.

1:01:34.720 --> 1:01:39.040
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it sounds off feeling like a mini story. It is,

1:01:39.080 --> 1:01:40.640
<v Speaker 2>and it feels like it's going to be this kind

1:01:40.640 --> 1:01:44.440
<v Speaker 2>of dry, bureaucratic Star Wars conversation which we're so used

1:01:44.480 --> 1:01:46.680
<v Speaker 2>to and we kind of rag on, but we also

1:01:46.760 --> 1:01:49.720
<v Speaker 2>enjoy but it actually was this beautiful, funny Romeo and

1:01:49.760 --> 1:01:52.360
<v Speaker 2>Juliette story. And I want to read the Inevitable a

1:01:52.400 --> 1:01:54.360
<v Speaker 2>certain point of view story about it. I want to

1:01:54.360 --> 1:01:57.680
<v Speaker 2>read the novella that somebody is going to write about

1:01:57.720 --> 1:01:59.760
<v Speaker 2>those two because you do believe that they will see

1:01:59.760 --> 1:02:03.840
<v Speaker 2>each other again, and I love that. Also, it does

1:02:03.880 --> 1:02:06.760
<v Speaker 2>so much to establish where these Mandalorian mercenaries are at

1:02:06.760 --> 1:02:09.520
<v Speaker 2>because she says, like, I thought you were honorable, and

1:02:09.520 --> 1:02:11.720
<v Speaker 2>she says, well, you know we are for a few

1:02:11.760 --> 1:02:14.479
<v Speaker 2>credits and it's like, and that's the real truth about

1:02:14.480 --> 1:02:18.720
<v Speaker 2>where the Mandalorians are at. Now what? So we're how

1:02:18.720 --> 1:02:20.040
<v Speaker 2>many two episodes?

1:02:20.080 --> 1:02:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Two episodes left? Feels like there's more Mandalorians to join

1:02:24.040 --> 1:02:28.240
<v Speaker 1>the fold, still time for us to see Sabine. And

1:02:28.280 --> 1:02:32.520
<v Speaker 1>then last episode surely is going to be the Assault

1:02:32.520 --> 1:02:33.959
<v Speaker 1>on mandalis maybe a two parter.

1:02:34.240 --> 1:02:37.560
<v Speaker 2>I think that My God says, you're back with Rick

1:02:37.600 --> 1:02:41.000
<v Speaker 2>for miahwa who was the who directed the opening. You're

1:02:41.040 --> 1:02:43.439
<v Speaker 2>so great. Those are the last two episodes. I feel

1:02:43.480 --> 1:02:46.600
<v Speaker 2>like this is going to be your big action story.

1:02:46.640 --> 1:02:50.560
<v Speaker 2>You've had that Jon Favreau Dave Filoni style serialized storytelling,

1:02:50.560 --> 1:02:52.880
<v Speaker 2>lots of side quest, lots of bottle episodes. I love

1:02:52.920 --> 1:02:54.720
<v Speaker 2>that kind of stuff. I think it's really fun. But

1:02:54.760 --> 1:02:58.560
<v Speaker 2>I think people do want this big, chunky, two part

1:02:58.600 --> 1:03:00.720
<v Speaker 2>are that's going to re establish wish where we find

1:03:00.720 --> 1:03:01.960
<v Speaker 2>the Mandalorian.

1:03:01.480 --> 1:03:05.040
<v Speaker 1>Ques after seeing what Acts and his people have been

1:03:05.120 --> 1:03:09.600
<v Speaker 1>up to. It's one could only assume, listen, Mandalorians need

1:03:09.680 --> 1:03:12.920
<v Speaker 1>work too, and when we first meet Den, he's a

1:03:12.920 --> 1:03:17.240
<v Speaker 1>bounty hunter, Like this is what Mandalorians do is they

1:03:17.280 --> 1:03:20.800
<v Speaker 1>live by their blasters, and so it absolutely makes sense

1:03:20.840 --> 1:03:23.600
<v Speaker 1>that they would go out across the galaxy hired out

1:03:23.600 --> 1:03:27.200
<v Speaker 1>as mercenaries, privateers, what have you, bodyguards, you know what,

1:03:27.360 --> 1:03:32.000
<v Speaker 1>bounty hunters. It kind of does leave the door open,

1:03:32.080 --> 1:03:37.400
<v Speaker 1>then for some splinter group of Mandalorians to maybe have

1:03:38.080 --> 1:03:42.800
<v Speaker 1>been hired to either capture Gideon or move him from somewhere.

1:03:42.920 --> 1:03:44.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh who followed Gideon or follow.

1:03:44.680 --> 1:03:47.920
<v Speaker 1>Gideon like it could I thought that that was an

1:03:47.920 --> 1:03:51.280
<v Speaker 1>obvious frame up it maybe I think it probably is.

1:03:51.360 --> 1:03:53.560
<v Speaker 2>I think the best goot to me is too obvious,

1:03:53.560 --> 1:03:56.160
<v Speaker 2>too obvious, But they couldn't you raise a good point.

1:03:56.200 --> 1:03:59.280
<v Speaker 2>I think there's a large chance that that could be

1:03:59.320 --> 1:04:03.160
<v Speaker 2>a splinter group who the follow Gideon, who have some

1:04:03.240 --> 1:04:05.360
<v Speaker 2>kind of belief that he is still the rightful holder

1:04:05.360 --> 1:04:08.920
<v Speaker 2>of the Dark Saber, or who have want to punish

1:04:09.000 --> 1:04:09.760
<v Speaker 2>him for his crimes.

1:04:10.320 --> 1:04:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Because so much of this, the kind of emotional weight

1:04:14.800 --> 1:04:17.000
<v Speaker 1>of this season, particularly with Bo, has been about no

1:04:17.120 --> 1:04:20.120
<v Speaker 1>more Mandalorians fighting Manalorians. This is what she said that

1:04:20.160 --> 1:04:22.560
<v Speaker 1>today when she says acts, this is what led us

1:04:22.600 --> 1:04:26.480
<v Speaker 1>to this place. You know, all the tragedies that happened

1:04:26.520 --> 1:04:29.800
<v Speaker 1>during the Clone Wars. You know, Mandalorian society ripped apart,

1:04:30.000 --> 1:04:33.720
<v Speaker 1>with one side of the debate living on the Muna Conchorya,

1:04:33.800 --> 1:04:35.120
<v Speaker 1>the rest of us trying to make a go of

1:04:35.120 --> 1:04:40.240
<v Speaker 1>it Amandalori like that didn't work. And it feels like

1:04:41.280 --> 1:04:43.760
<v Speaker 1>this has been so much about, like, you know, bringing

1:04:43.840 --> 1:04:46.760
<v Speaker 1>the tribe back together. But I do wonder if that

1:04:46.800 --> 1:04:48.280
<v Speaker 1>means we're going to see Mandalorian's fighting man.

1:04:48.440 --> 1:04:50.880
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna say, imagine if the power of like

1:04:50.960 --> 1:04:53.800
<v Speaker 2>Gideon stepping off of a ship with like a new

1:04:53.880 --> 1:04:58.120
<v Speaker 2>death was with the Mandalorians behind him. That would be

1:04:58.240 --> 1:05:01.840
<v Speaker 2>huge and also gives an option for those Mandalorians to

1:05:01.880 --> 1:05:04.360
<v Speaker 2>still be welcomed into the fold and perhaps turn. So

1:05:04.440 --> 1:05:06.640
<v Speaker 2>I think I am I love the frame up. I

1:05:06.640 --> 1:05:09.120
<v Speaker 2>think it feels like a frame up, and I still

1:05:09.120 --> 1:05:11.439
<v Speaker 2>stick by it. But I am sixty forty that there

1:05:11.440 --> 1:05:15.440
<v Speaker 2>could be this spin off, kind of secondary splinter group

1:05:15.520 --> 1:05:18.520
<v Speaker 2>of Mandalorians. It makes sense, like you said, with the themes. Also,

1:05:18.760 --> 1:05:21.080
<v Speaker 2>I need to know where these final two episodes going

1:05:21.120 --> 1:05:23.040
<v Speaker 2>to be an hour long each. It feels like they

1:05:23.120 --> 1:05:25.200
<v Speaker 2>need to be chunky. It feels like there's still a

1:05:25.240 --> 1:05:29.080
<v Speaker 2>lot to kind of tie up here, and also to

1:05:29.320 --> 1:05:32.120
<v Speaker 2>establish what we should expect to see from the future

1:05:32.120 --> 1:05:33.640
<v Speaker 2>seasons that are inevitably coming.

1:05:35.040 --> 1:05:38.959
<v Speaker 1>Well, wonderful episode. Bryce Dallas Howard once again in her bag.

1:05:39.240 --> 1:05:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Give her the trilogy. You want a new trilogy, give

1:05:41.720 --> 1:05:43.920
<v Speaker 2>it to Bryce. She's delivered at all.

1:05:43.800 --> 1:05:46.680
<v Speaker 1>Times, one of our greatest NIPO babies.

1:05:46.800 --> 1:05:51.720
<v Speaker 2>Most talented, the most of that NEPO fantastic power.

1:05:51.880 --> 1:05:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Cannot argue with it. Up next nerd Out.

1:06:02.000 --> 1:06:03.880
<v Speaker 2>In today's nerd Out, where you tell us what you

1:06:03.920 --> 1:06:06.439
<v Speaker 2>love them, why, or a theory that you're excited to share,

1:06:06.680 --> 1:06:10.480
<v Speaker 2>Peter ponders the poisoned planet rumors from both and Or

1:06:10.560 --> 1:06:11.880
<v Speaker 2>and the Mandalorian.

1:06:13.040 --> 1:06:17.040
<v Speaker 1>Peter writes, quote, I'm curious if the planet is poisoned

1:06:17.080 --> 1:06:20.360
<v Speaker 1>rumors warnings on both Canari and mandal Or are inherent

1:06:20.400 --> 1:06:25.240
<v Speaker 1>parallels or thematic empire propaganda. In both shows, characters make

1:06:25.280 --> 1:06:27.479
<v Speaker 1>it on and off the planets without dying despite the threat.

1:06:27.520 --> 1:06:29.320
<v Speaker 1>I haven't seen this address and cant side if I'm

1:06:29.400 --> 1:06:32.360
<v Speaker 1>overthinking this or if this is an overarching storyline. I

1:06:32.360 --> 1:06:33.240
<v Speaker 1>think there's something to it.

1:06:33.320 --> 1:06:33.840
<v Speaker 2>I love that.

1:06:34.040 --> 1:06:35.160
<v Speaker 1>I think there's something to it.

1:06:35.240 --> 1:06:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Think about it. We see these planets that have indigenous

1:06:38.920 --> 1:06:42.520
<v Speaker 2>populations that are culturally connected to the planets whose planets

1:06:42.520 --> 1:06:45.080
<v Speaker 2>are raided, and then these rumors are spread about this

1:06:45.160 --> 1:06:47.480
<v Speaker 2>idea of oh they're poisoned. You can't go back, you

1:06:47.480 --> 1:06:51.520
<v Speaker 2>have to start again. That works for almost every level

1:06:51.520 --> 1:06:54.320
<v Speaker 2>of imperial society. Not only does it eradicate an indigenous

1:06:54.360 --> 1:06:57.080
<v Speaker 2>population and spread them out, but it also works. You

1:06:57.120 --> 1:07:00.000
<v Speaker 2>need workers on Corriscont, you need workers in these places.

1:07:00.200 --> 1:07:03.200
<v Speaker 2>You need to push people into the urban sprawl of

1:07:03.520 --> 1:07:07.480
<v Speaker 2>the galaxy to keep the cities moving. I believe that

1:07:07.560 --> 1:07:09.320
<v Speaker 2>this was not the last that we'll see. I hadn't

1:07:09.320 --> 1:07:11.240
<v Speaker 2>actually thought about that, but as soon as Peter said it,

1:07:11.240 --> 1:07:12.800
<v Speaker 2>I think that just makes so much sense.

1:07:12.960 --> 1:07:15.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I agree, and I also think it makes sense

1:07:15.440 --> 1:07:20.000
<v Speaker 1>from a kind of economic point of view. It's just cheaper, exactly,

1:07:20.040 --> 1:07:23.120
<v Speaker 1>It's just cheaper. You. Of course, you could poison the

1:07:23.240 --> 1:07:26.400
<v Speaker 1>entire planet. That would take a lot of radiation and

1:07:26.440 --> 1:07:28.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot of bombs and a lot of you know,

1:07:28.680 --> 1:07:31.080
<v Speaker 1>chemical weapons, if that's what you want to do, or

1:07:32.240 --> 1:07:34.320
<v Speaker 1>you can just scale it dy, You just tell everybody

1:07:34.400 --> 1:07:35.360
<v Speaker 1>that it's poisoned.

1:07:35.080 --> 1:07:37.120
<v Speaker 2>And the fact that you had already attacked it. It

1:07:37.120 --> 1:07:39.560
<v Speaker 2>looks terrible, It looks broken down. People don't live that

1:07:39.800 --> 1:07:42.120
<v Speaker 2>those rumors spread and then people become scared to go back,

1:07:42.200 --> 1:07:43.480
<v Speaker 2>like what happened with Mandlore.

1:07:43.600 --> 1:07:47.760
<v Speaker 1>I like this idea, and it seems like something that

1:07:48.000 --> 1:07:50.120
<v Speaker 1>a space empire. It just makes sense that you would

1:07:50.120 --> 1:07:51.160
<v Speaker 1>do it, especially.

1:07:50.920 --> 1:07:53.400
<v Speaker 2>We know that propaganda and branding is such a big

1:07:53.440 --> 1:07:55.640
<v Speaker 2>part of the empire. It makes sense that that would

1:07:55.720 --> 1:07:57.680
<v Speaker 2>go down to economic policy too.

1:07:57.880 --> 1:08:03.479
<v Speaker 1>I completely agree your absolutely great question, great idea, great

1:08:03.520 --> 1:08:05.960

<v Speaker 1>See you next time by Hey Mike, this is down

1:10:05.280 --> 1:10:07.960
<v Speaker 1>for Marine. Yeah. I just want to talk about the

1:10:08.640 --> 1:10:12.599
<v Speaker 1>droids of Plazia fifteen today, Mike. You know, listen, everybody,

1:10:12.600 --> 1:10:14.680
<v Speaker 1>I get it. It's working for everybody, the system that

1:10:14.840 --> 1:10:18.760
<v Speaker 1>is working for everybody. I had a you know, I

1:10:18.800 --> 1:10:22.559
<v Speaker 1>have a timeshare in Plazia fifteen and it's great. You know,

1:10:22.680 --> 1:10:25.320
<v Speaker 1>I play golf, I play spas golf out there and

1:10:25.360 --> 1:10:27.280
<v Speaker 1>all that stuff. I just want to say, Mike, I

1:10:27.320 --> 1:10:32.720
<v Speaker 1>don't think the droids are being treated necessarily right over there, Mike,

1:10:33.600 --> 1:10:36.000
<v Speaker 1>I can't put my finger on it. But anytime I

1:10:36.040 --> 1:10:38.080
<v Speaker 1>go to a place and all the work is being

1:10:38.120 --> 1:10:42.879
<v Speaker 1>done by droids, and all the the kind of maintenance

1:10:42.920 --> 1:10:45.840
<v Speaker 1>work is being done by specifically ugnots, you know, it

1:10:45.920 --> 1:10:48.120
<v Speaker 1>just gives me a weird feeling, Mic like I'm in

1:10:48.200 --> 1:10:51.160
<v Speaker 1>somewhere else in the galaxy, like from long long ago,

1:10:51.240 --> 1:10:55.200
<v Speaker 1>where I it shouldn't be like that anymore, Mike. Again,

1:10:56.000 --> 1:10:58.920
<v Speaker 1>the Duchess is a nice she's a wonderful lady. And

1:10:59.000 --> 1:11:02.599
<v Speaker 1>Captain Bombadia a former imperial guy. You know, I don't

1:11:02.720 --> 1:11:07.320
<v Speaker 1>like those, but he seems bye bye, you know everything

1:11:07.360 --> 1:11:10.400
<v Speaker 1>I've seen to be a sweet guy. But it just

1:11:10.479 --> 1:11:12.400
<v Speaker 1>rubs me the wrong way, Mike. I don't know something

1:11:12.400 --> 1:11:16.759
<v Speaker 1>about it, Mike. I'm hoping that some of our galactic

1:11:16.800 --> 1:11:19.479
<v Speaker 1>free press will look into it, Mike, because something about

1:11:19.520 --> 1:11:21.360
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't rubs me the wrong way.

1:11:21.400 --> 1:11:21.559
<v Speaker 2>Mike.

1:11:21.560 --> 1:11:22.960
<v Speaker 1>I'll take my insy off the end, thank you,
