Speaker 1: next is a first person shooter. Very sparse details on

38
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: that one, and the next is a strategy game being

39
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,919

Speaker 1: addictive kind of turn based strategy games out there. So

43
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: very excited to see if any of that kind of

44
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: mechanic makes it into the Star Wars universe. Vince Ampella

45
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: GM and under respond, longtime Call of Duty developer says quote,

46
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: if you want to make great Star Wars games, you

47
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: should come join us on our journey. Well okay, well,

48
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: I'm very excited to play more Star Wars games. I

49
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 1: still play Star Wars Battle from what can I say?

50
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 2: I still do it? Why you should back up your files? Okay.

51
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: The next issue of The Good Asian, written by porn

52
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: Sec pchet Show, drawn by Alexandra Tafenke, was delayed but

53
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: can now be expected March third, twenty twenty two. According

54
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: to pchet Show, the delay is due to basically the

55
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: artist losing all the files and having to redraw the

56
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: entire issue again.

57
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 3: Devastating.

58
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: Have you ever had a lost file issue like this?

59
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: I have done it many times.

60
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 3: It is my greatest nightmare, and so I basically do

61
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 3: everything in Google docs and in a way that is

62
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 3: kind of salvageable on some kind of cloud. But I

63
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 3: think for anyone who makes comics, this is like the

64
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 3: absolute nightmare. And I'm just sending so much love to

65
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 3: Alexandra yeah for having to draw these pages again. And

66
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 3: I'm so grateful because it's just such a special book

67
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 3: and I think it's just so bad that this happened.

68
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 3: But I'm so glad that the the issue is still

69
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 3: going to come out.

70
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've done this for for podcasts, not in a while,

71
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 1: but I've done before to the point where I've like

72
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: installed time Machine and been like, can I reverse engineer

73
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: my own hard drive to find well, no, no, this file

74
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: has gone.

75
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 3: Like actually audio wise, it has happened to me, I

76
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 3: definitely have had the done a like really incredible interview

77
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 3: or I'm just like, this is like killing it, and

78
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 3: then it's like it's gone or for some reason there's

79
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 3: only like two minutes of it that have been recorded,

80
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 3: and that is like a devastating feeling.

81
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: And then finally the return of Saga from Brian K.

82
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: Vaugh and Fiona Staples. The image comics Titan Space Opera

83
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: Loves story that will break your heart and make you laugh.

84
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: One of the sexiest comics, the most romantic, the most

85
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: adventurous comics out there, has returned after a three year layoff.

86
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: Their last issue was issue fifty four from July twenty eighteen.

87
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: Just this Wednesday, Issue fifty five came out no spoilers, folks,

88
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: but man, it definitely felt like the first issue of

89
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: the Drive towards the end of this story, because there

90
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: are certain things in there that just hurt so much.

91
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: There's some exchanges in there that are extremely painful, but

92
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: it's just wonderful to have a back Rosie. How do

93
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: you feel about Saga being back?

94
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just I have missed like Fiona working like this, Like, Yeah,

95
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 3: the awe in this issue is just absolutely unbelievable, and

96
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 3: it just throws you straight back in the world, and

97
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 3: it is just it feels it's really interesting because it

98
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 3: feels like there's a gap and there's some things that

99
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 3: happen in the story you know you need to that

100
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 3: could only have happened with that space. But it also

101
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 3: feels like you're just picking up the next issue, which

102
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 3: I think is like such a hard balance to kind

103
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 3: of play in difficult, and I also think ironically they

104
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 3: did a really smart thing where like, if you read

105
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 3: this issue and you've never read Saga, you would just

106
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 3: want to go back and read the rest of it.

107
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 3: And so even though it's not a jumping on point

108
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 3: in the sense that you will enjoy it and be

109
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 3: affected by it more if you've read it. If you

110
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 3: just pick this up because your comic shop ordered it,

111
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 3: it's going to be the biggest issue of the month.

112
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 3: You could pick this up and be like, Wow, I

113
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 3: love this in character they've given me. This seems like

114
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 3: a wild story that they've been on. I wonder how

115
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 3: they got here, and you could go back so balancing

116
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 3: that jumping on point kind of energy with continue doing

117
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 3: this story that's been going for over fifty issues. I'm

118
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 3: ten years now. That to me is just like magic.

119
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: Ten years makes me feel so ancient, so fucking old.

120
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: I can't believe it. But I will say that is

121
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: you're so right about them giving you the download. You know,

122
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: the first couple of pages of the issue, again no spoilers,

123
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: but they give you the background, like if you're a

124
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: new reader, you'll learn the kind of basic setup about

125
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: what kind of world this story exists in. And the

126
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: first thing I thought when I was reading it is like,

127
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: this is classic. This is classic comics storytelling. You know,

128
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: when I got into comics, I would just buy whatever

129
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: was on the rack. I had no idea where Arcy

130
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: was like with you just open it up and you're like,

131
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: I'm in the middle of the story. I'm trusting the

132
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: creators to give me enough information to orient myself within

133
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: this world. But that's the feeling of Pigana Comic, and

134
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: I love that about it. Brian Vonn had a really

135
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: wonderful little kind of like welcome back Readers, Welcome readers,

136
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: little letter at the end of the issue, and I

137
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: wanted to quote some of it. Quote, Well, since we've

138
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: been apart so long, I'm sure that our metaphorical family

139
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: has changed significantly, and many of you have moved on,

140
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: either from this particular book or maybe even from our

141
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: humble medium completely, which is sad, but also understand what

142
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: we miss you prodigal children already and remain on call

143
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: to welcome you back anytime. This is this really hit

144
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: me because you know, I've gone through points of in

145
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: my comics life where I'm just out of it, you know,

146
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: a year, year and a half where I'm just like,

147
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna maybe I don't need it anymore, and

148
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 1: then I always come back. But it really is, you know,

149
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: thinking about this as a supporter of my local comic shop,

150
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,359
Speaker 1: comics really more than ever, feels like a real community

151
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: of late because people could choose to just read digital comics,

152
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: like that's there if they it's very convenient. But many

153
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: people I know, and many people who love comics and

154
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: love the culture of comics like yourself, like myself, will

155
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,719
Speaker 1: advocate for the local comic shop and just the fact that,

156
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: like local comic shops are a business because people choose

157
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: to keep shopping there, like they don't have to, and

158
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: that really is such a wonderful thing about the industry,

159
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: like it is a community in which people are supporting

160
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:24,959
Speaker 1: each other in that way.

161
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I totally agree, and I think that's really powerful.

162
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 3: It's like little choices that we make. Like I read

163
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 3: a lot of manga, and I just started getting all

164
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 3: my manga added to my poll list. So now not

165
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 3: only do I get my single issues, which honestly, I'm

166
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 3: less of a I'm less of a weekly single issue guy.

167
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 3: Unless it's something really cool, like you know, Saga Nubia.

168
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 3: I'll definitely be getting into some of the weirder DC

169
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 3: stuff going forward. Try the Amazon stuff like that X

170
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 3: Men obviously, but like the manga is really good because

171
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 3: then it's like, well, you're giving your shop thirteen dollars

172
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 3: instead of four, you know, and I I have a well,

173
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 3: I think we're going to hopefully dig into this more

174
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 3: in a different.

175
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 2: Episode, So we're going to dig into this yeah shortly.

176
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have a conflicted relationship with the idea of

177
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 3: speculation and collection, right. But something that my local comic

178
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 3: shop owner told me that I just thought it was

179
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 3: really cool, was like, that is a really important part

180
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 3: of what keeps them going, variant covers, collection, all that stuff.

181
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 3: But he told me that most days they make more

182
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 3: money just selling secondhand comics and back issue collections, and

183
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 3: I just I love that those two things can live

184
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,599
Speaker 3: alongside each other, like people want to collect it for

185
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 3: the collectible nature, for the art, you know, that's really important,

186
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 3: and it is a big part of the industry. But

187
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 3: I love that there's still just kids, adults whoever, just

188
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 3: going in and buying like a bundle of a weird

189
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 3: X Men arc for five dollars, you know, just because

190
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 3: they want to read this story. And I really love that,

191
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 3: And I think you're so right, And I think something

192
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 3: that's really cool is the way that I've seen digital

193
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 3: comics move is comic shop, big two comics, indie comics.

194
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 3: That is something that we can keep alive through the support,

195
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 3: and what digital comics can do is give us access

196
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 3: to comics by people we would never have seen before. Yeah, so,

197
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 3: like anyone can just make a comic and put it

198
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 3: online and let people read it for free or on

199
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 3: Patreon or something. So it's kind of broadening the idea

200
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 3: of what comics are. But there's still a lot, Like

201
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 3: you can still go to a comic shop and buy

202
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 3: an issue of X Men and flip through it and

203
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 3: get a card stock cover or you know, get a

204
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 3: variant cover or whatever. But if you want to find

205
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 3: like weird, cool syndicated comics, Heart of the City, six Chicks,

206
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 3: you know, if you want to find independent comics like

207
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 3: Black Jose Press, there's just so many cool things going

208
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 3: on that and they can live alongside each other. And

209
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 3: I think, for a long time, the same way it

210
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 3: was with publishing, we were all kind of scared that

211
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 3: digital comics would mean the death of the comic book store.

212
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 3: And so I think you're right. It's such a lovely

213
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 3: community to be able to see these things living alongside

214
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 3: each other and to know that every niche you know,

215
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 3: comic shop, I don't know how many there are now,

216
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 3: I know at one point there was twenty five Twenty

217
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 3: five hundred in North America is the general number. But

218
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 3: I love that. You're so right, that's just kept up

219
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 3: by people like us who just love this one art form.

220
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 3: I just want to go and be like, hey, I

221
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 3: love this, Like what's a cool comic to read this month?

222
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 3: Like what's your favorite thing that I should be reading? Like,

223
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 3: just put anything cool in my pool? Like, so I

224
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 3: think that's really cool. And yeah, if you're listening to this,

225
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 3: you can go to your local comic shop and you

226
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 3: can create what is essentially like a subscription service called

227
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 3: a pool list, where they will always put any title

228
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 3: that you want or manger, you know, trade paperbacks, and

229
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 3: it's a really cool way to one keep up to

230
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 3: date with your comics, and two like support the industry

231
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 3: and the people who allow us to actually read these things,

232
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 3: which are local comic book shops.

233
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 2: Absolutely onto the air lock.

234
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: Okay, folks were stepping out of the airlock to dive

235
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: into episode five, a book of Boba fet titled Return

236
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: of the Mandalorian, written by John Favreau, directed wonderfully by

237
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: Bryce Dallis Howard.

238
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 2: Let's jump into the recap.

239
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: Okay, We open in a butcher shop, a front for

240
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: a nest of criminals, and a wonderful multi layered metaphor

241
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: for what is about to occur in this space. One

242
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: of them is named Kapa Biaz.

243
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 2: He is a Kluttinian.

244
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: He is the target of Din Jarren, the Mandalorian, who

245
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: is back to his bounty hunting ways since we last

246
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: saw him at the end of Mandalorian Season two. Kappa

247
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: doesn't really want to leave with the Mandalorian. His gang

248
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: doesn't want him to leave either. Mando's like, hey, you

249
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: have a lot of money. Copa's like, that's not even me.

250
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: That doesn't even look like me. What are you talking about?

251
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: A You're trying to say all Klutinians look the same.

252
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: What is happening here? A brutal fight ensues in which

253
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,719
Speaker 1: Mando fires up the Dark Saber, the ancient weapon of

254
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: the Mandalorians. He slices through the gang and legitimately slices

255
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: For those of you who were worried, oh my god,

256
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: Disney's acquired Star Wars is gonna They're gonna water it down. Well,

257
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: you just got like the arguably the grittiest lightsaber fight.

258
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 2: It's Star Wars history.

259
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: Took place in this episode of Book of Boba Fad.

260
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 3: In the first five years. Also, can I also say, like,

261
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 3: I know I bring this movie up a lot, but

262
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 3: this Timo Tahanto movie, this Indonesian horror martial arts movie

263
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 3: called The Night comes from Us. It has this sequence

264
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 3: which is a massive brutal blade fight in a butcher shop,

265
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 3: and I swear to God, I need to speak to

266
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 3: Bryce Dallas Howard and be like, was that what you

267
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 3: were referencing here? Because it looks so similar and there's

268
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 3: it's so grimy and so violent and just yeah, I

269
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 3: watched the beginning of this episode and I was like.

270
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: Oh, I would not be surprised because you know, there

271
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: are a lot of references, there are a lot of

272
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: nods in this episode. I would not be surprises And

273
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: Brestyles Tower just a absolutely sure and creative hand behind

274
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: the scenes. Mando his his blade work is not the best.

275
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: He pretty early on in the fight he cuts his

276
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: squad open just under the thigh armor and spends the

277
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: rest of the fight just kind.

278
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 2: Of like glimping around.

279
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: He does cut Kapa Baias Poor Kappa Bayas basically in half,

280
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: and then he cuts off his head and wraps it

281
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: neatly in some wax papers, as a good butcher would.

282
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: We learned that Mando is on a ring colony, evoking.

283
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,359
Speaker 2: The great Larry Niven, the great.

284
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: Work of sci fi work of Larry Niven, and also

285
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: the Halo video games, which are you know, Halo Infinity

286
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: is back in our lives. I've been playing a lot

287
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: of it. So it was really really cool to see

288
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: this in Star Wars. There have been ring bases in

289
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: like eighties Star Wars legends, but this was just really

290
00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: really cool to.

291
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 3: See and it looks stunning. It looked so unbelievable.

292
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 2: And it was huge.

293
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: We actually the camera never panned out for us to

294
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: see if it is a true complete ring, but it

295
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: looked to be really really cool and also like this

296
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: episode obviously the highlight of the season, but one of

297
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: the things I think that really helped is just leaving

298
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: tattooin and getting these other textures, the textures in the

299
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: butcher shop, this kind of like this real urban, kind

300
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: of like gritty atmosphere.

301
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 2: Then that the long shot of the ring colony.

302
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: It was just like so nice to re engage with

303
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: the size of the galaxy in this way. You know, completely,

304
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: Somando goes to get his money from the person that

305
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: hired him, goes. He ends up at a really nice

306
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: nightclub and the deal apparently is not just money. He's

307
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: also looking for h an address to the closest entrance

308
00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: to the rings sub levels, information that Mando is apparently promised.

309
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: At the start of this mission, when Mando threatens to

310
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: walk away because his employer's like, oh, will you sit

311
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: down and I have a drink with us, a Mano's like, no,

312
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 1: I'm not making small talk. I've got a head here

313
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: wrapped in a bag. Can we just like do this?

314
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: Like I'm carrying around this head. Mando threatens to leave,

315
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: and then finally the bad guy's like, okay, I'll say

316
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: it's down at Colzac Alley by the heat bent towers.

317
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 1: So Mando heads off in search of this place. He

318
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: uses his special vision modes in his helmet visor. He

319
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: sees the markings. One marking is it's a Mandalorian visor,

320
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,360
Speaker 1: which is clearly a message to him Mandalorians this way.

321
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: And then finally he comes to a sign that is

322
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: based on it's basically a mythosaur like a Mandalorian mithsosaur

323
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: sign and he knows this is the place and it's

324
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: his old covert.

325
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 2: There's the armorer is.

326
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: Just staring out in a space he's PaaS Visla is

327
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: also there. The armorer, without even turning around, just says

328
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 1: to pas Visla like go ten damn, And then pas

329
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,719
Speaker 1: Visla comes around and looks at In's a pretty nasty

330
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: leg wound the armorer. Let me just say, no one

331
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: is doing line readings like Emily Swallow.

332
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 2: Not a person on this world.

333
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 1: Like the only thing that comes as close is the

334
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: late great Alan Rickman as Snape, the very.

335
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 2: Very slow mister pot.

336
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: Like that is the way Emily Swallow is chewing out

337
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: these words, and I absolutely love it. Everything she says

338
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 1: is like being completely digested, like a sarlac would digest

339
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: for ten thousand years.

340
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 2: It's amazing.

341
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's so impressive. This is just one of

342
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 3: those really smart storytelling things.

343
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 2: Where they know that she can do these reads right.

344
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 3: So they're like the first half of this episode is

345
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 3: going to have a lot of exposition, like a lot

346
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 3: of really cool, low heavy weird. Basically we'll get to it,

347
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 3: but a lot of like kind of finding a quick ish,

348
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 3: easy way to digest a lot of stuff that happened,

349
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 3: and a lot of other Star Wars properties, And they

350
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 3: were like, look at Emily to do it.

351
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, who doesn't want to listen to the Armora.

352
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 3: Just telling some stories. It's like, I absolutely love it.

353
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 3: And she had just every line. You're just like, oh

354
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 3: my god.

355
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. The Armor.

356
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: The Armor asks, uh, how did you get that leg wound?

357
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: And then so Dinn passes her the Dark Saber, and

358
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: the Armorer proceeds to tell Dinjarren and us the history

359
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: of the Dark Saber. This is building on stuff that

360
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: we learned from Trials of the Dark Saber, from Star

361
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:45,239
Speaker 1: Wars rebels and episodes and the Clone Wars that kind

362
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 1: of fleshed out some of the history of Deathwatch and

363
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: other other Mandalorian sex. So, whoever wields the Saber, the

364
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 1: Armor tells us, if it is one fairly in combat,

365
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: we'll defeat all of their enemies and lead the Mandalorian

366
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: people to a new age. If it is not one

367
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 1: in combat, let's just say it's bad. It's really bad.

368
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 1: Mandalor will be devastated. It is a curse upon the people.

369
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 1: Everyone will be slaughtered. Ten thousand years of galactic history thrown.

370
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 2: To the winds.

371
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: And then if you happen to survive that, as the

372
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 1: armor pas Visla and Mando have, you can never ever

373
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,239
Speaker 1: take off your helmet ever again, no matter how much

374
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: your breath stinks, ever ever ever, don't do it. So

375
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: The weapon was forged from bestcar over a thousand years

376
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: ago by Mandalor Tarvisla, founder of House Visla, who was

377
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 1: also a Jedi. It was kept in the Jedi temple

378
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 1: after Visla's death, but later hoisted by the Mandalorians, who

379
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: returned it to Mandalor, where it became a symbol of.

380
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 2: Leadership to unite the people.

381
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: Pause later asks di In where he got it, and

382
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: didn't say, Well, I fought mof Gideon.

383
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 2: He's not dead. Ps.

384
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 1: I didn't manage to kill him. The New Republic took

385
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: him into custody, and you know he's probably going to

386
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: go on trial for the millions of Mandaloria deaths that

387
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 1: he caused. The armorer then continues with her download about history.

388
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: The Songs of EON's Past spoke of the legendary Mythicole

389
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: whose appearance would hook in a.

390
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 2: New age.

391
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: Sadly, she says, and this is my favorite line in

392
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: the whole thing. I think she says, sadly it only

393
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 1: exists in legends, which is a cheeky wink to Star

394
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 1: Wars Legends, the kind of like decanonized swath of stories

395
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: from the eighties, nineties, early two thousands that was kind

396
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: of like swept away when Disney took over and re

397
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: established their own timeline for the cannon. So a fun

398
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: little wink at the audience. And also let's theorize of

399
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:53,199
Speaker 1: it here, I think, also clearly some foreshadowing. We know

400
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: that Boba Fett loves animals and loves big ones, loves

401
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: to ride a big animal, nothing loves nothing more, has

402
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 1: the spurs to do it. We know that there has

403
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: already been an Easter Egg in which Boba talks about

404
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 1: riding a creature bigger, bigger than the Red Corps, right.

405
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 2: And then there's been these too many.

406
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: Hints for it not to mean something, so many mentions

407
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: of oh, you know, tattooing was once covered by oceans, right.

408
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 2: I feel like.

409
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 1: Something like a mythosaur is going to reappear, and either

410
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: Boba or Din are going to ride it, and it's

411
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: going to have something to do with the fact that

412
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: tattooine used to be covered in water.

413
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I totally agree. And I also think the biggest

414
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 3: tell here is the use of it only exists in Legends,

415
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 3: because if you follow this stuff, clearly, you know many

416
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 3: of us were upset when the expanded Universe ended up

417
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 3: becoming called Legends was decanonized. But what Disney does is

418
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 3: they pick and choose what they want.

419
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 2: To bring back. Thorn Gets, of course, is coming back.

420
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 3: You know, the episode about Boba Fat escaping the Sarlac

421
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 3: pit was based on a short story from Legends, So

422
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 3: I think that is really the key, and it's very

423
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 3: much like Staul just pointed out, it's very much Disney

424
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 3: doing the MCU with Star Wars, where they much how

425
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 3: do we connect this? And actually that was something I

426
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 3: was thinking about a lot when I watched this episode.

427
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 3: I was thinking about something you said when we were

428
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 3: talking about Peacemaker, where you said for something to matter

429
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 3: and for it to have an impact and for people

430
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 3: to really care about it, they want to know why

431
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,959
Speaker 3: they should. They want to know how it connects, what

432
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 3: does it mean? Why should they care about this story?

433
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 3: And this episode is like the best example of that

434
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 3: where it just takes something from There is references in

435
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 3: this from the High Republic episode one to the Mandalorian

436
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 3: to the most recent stuff we've seen, and at every level. Yeah,

437
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 3: it's fan service, it's nostalgia, but at every level it

438
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 3: makes you think, well, this is why you've been watching.

439
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 3: This is why you needed to This is why you

440
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,880
Speaker 3: needed to know that Boba Fett is good with animals. Yeah,

441
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 3: that's going to be important here. Yeah, this is why

442
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 3: you needed you know, we see you know, we'll get

443
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 3: to it. But there's even stuff here where I'm like, oh,

444
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 3: that's why we got the cool cyborg kid.

445
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're gonna be used.

446
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 3: This is the connecting episode that makes everything that came before.

447
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:19,360
Speaker 3: If you went into the more outrageous, serialized classic seventies

448
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 3: style storytelling, this is the one way they sort of

449
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 3: bring it all in and go don't worry.

450
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's lead in somewhere.

451
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: It really is the marvelization of Star Wars in a

452
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: great way. I think you're exactly right. I was amazed

453
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: at how many you mentioned the Higher Republic. They're you know,

454
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 1: Star Wars Fall in order of the video game is

455
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 1: reference here. The prequels are referenced here, the original trilogy

456
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: is reference here. Clone Wars rebels all of those things,

457
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: like every level of Star Wars has something in this episode,

458
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: but it's seamless, like it's just a great it's a

459
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: fantastic riote, and to your point, it just makes you

460
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: feel like, ah, I'm beginning to see how all of

461
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 1: this stuff could connect back to our story. The Armor

462
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: asks about the Bestcar spear.

463
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 2: That Mando's going.

464
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: What of the spear, and Mando is like, I got

465
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: it from a Jedi. It can block a lightsaber, but

466
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: the Armor is concerned that it can pierce Bestcar armor,

467
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 1: thereby imperiling their kind.

468
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 2: And it seems at this moment.

469
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: Besides Bokatan and her cadre of survivors, that this covert.

470
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: The Armor pause Visla and Mando is kind of it.

471
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: This might be it. So the Armor is very concerned

472
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: about anything that could that could allow Bestcar armor to

473
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: be pierced. And also she mentions that the traditional use

474
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: of Bestcar is as a defensive measure.

475
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 2: It's as armor. We use it as armor.

476
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 1: Mando then asks that the spear be reforged into new armor,

477
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: and he asks about a Bocatan. The Armor tells Mando

478
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 1: that because bo was gifted the Dark Saber, and these

479
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 1: are the events we saw at the last episode of

480
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 1: Mandalorian season two, because he was gifted the sword.

481
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 2: Her claim to it was cursed.

482
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: So Bocatan got the sword in rebels and then off

483
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 1: screen stuff we haven't seen yet. She clearly was leading

484
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: the Mandalorian people at that time, and that led to,

485
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: at least in the Armorer's mind, led directly to the

486
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: Night of a Thousand Tiers, which we then see in

487
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: flashback and thrilling fashion Imperial tie bombers over the surface

488
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 1: of mandelor just bombing it into submission. Very very few Mandalorians,

489
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: practitioners of the way huddled on the Moon of Concordia,

490
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: survived the genocide. Now what this tells us is because

491
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: the Moon of Concordia was where death Watch and extremist

492
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: Mandalorian sect was banished to They did not agree with

493
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 1: the Duchess Settene Kreese's attempt to make Mandalora more peaceful

494
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: and modernized nation, so they were banished. This pretty much

495
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: confirms that the Armor and pass Visla and other adherents

496
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: of the way, anybody who was on Concordia that survived

497
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:09,239
Speaker 1: are basically the remnants and the descendants of these like

498
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: very ultra violent Mandalorian sects, which is really interesting.

499
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I find it really interesting, especially and I think

500
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 3: it's going to play a lot into what we see

501
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 3: going forward, especially with stuff that we'll get to that

502
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 3: happens next. But there's this very interesting space that Dinn

503
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 3: exists in, which is this compromise between being deeply connected

504
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,360
Speaker 3: with the Jedi for some reason and keeping coming across them.

505
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,679
Speaker 3: He's with, you know, Grogu the dark Saber. You have

506
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 3: to wield it like a light saber or you can

507
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 3: never wield it. And Mandalor and the Mandalorians, and I

508
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 3: think that conflict will play into the future of the

509
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 3: Mandalorian and the future of Star Wars. And also I

510
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 3: think that Din will find his power when he finds

511
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 3: the boat. The connection of both.

512
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,199
Speaker 1: I think you're one hundred percent right. That brings us

513
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 1: into this this next part of the recap. The Armor

514
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 1: is like, well, what are we gonna make out of

515
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 1: this best car spirit man, I was like, I want

516
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 1: to make armor, and I want to make little baby Cuty,

517
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 1: little tiny little baby cute armor for my little baby

518
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: baby friend. And the armor it tells Meta whoa grogu

519
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: is with his own kind. Now you cannot see him

520
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 1: because Jeda's training requires them to fullgo all attachments. And

521
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 1: Din shows wisdom here he argues that, well, that runs

522
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: counter to Mandalorian values about loyalty and connection. Right, So

523
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: this is important, and this ties into what you were

524
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,959
Speaker 1: just saying, because once upon a time in legends, and

525
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: it's still canon, but in legends this was more fleshed out.

526
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 2: There was thousands of.

527
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: Years ago a Jedi Mandalorian war that was extremely destructive.

528
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: It left uh, you know, the Mandalorian home world scarred

529
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: and they had to live in a little spheres after

530
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: this on the surface of the planet because it was

531
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 1: so environmentally destroyed.

532
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 2: But here in this exchange.

533
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: We see the seed of that ideological conflict. The Jedies

534
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: are connected to the universe, right, They're connected to the

535
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: Force and all living beings, but they also seek to detach.

536
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: They want to isolate themselves from emotion and detach themselves

537
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: so they can more justly do their job. The Mandalorians

538
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: are physically isolated. They want to be away from everybody else, right,

539
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: But they forge these intense and very very strong tribal ties,

540
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: almost like forged in best Garre with other people in

541
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: their cohort, with other individuals. And it's important to remember, Mandalorians,

542
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: it's not a race necessarily, it's really a culture. So

543
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: that you're so right that conflict, that is the seed

544
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: of that conflict. The Jedies want to detach, the Mandalorians

545
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 1: want to engage and stay attached. So how Dinn is

546
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: going to navigate this is going to have a lot

547
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: to do with how he manages to tame the Dark Saber.

548
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: It's going to be his ernie going forward into Mailer

549
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: in season three, and I can't wait to see it.

550
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: Moving on the Armorer later on spars with Din. She

551
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: uses best gar hammer and tongs against the Dark Saber,

552
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: and Din and the Blade are completely out of sync.

553
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 1: This calls back to memory Canaan training Sabine in use

554
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: of a lightsaber.

555
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 2: This was really cool.

556
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: Mando just can't manage to get the rhythm. It's like

557
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: he can barely lift the blade. The Armor warns Mando

558
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: that you can't out muscle this. You have to find

559
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: it in your mind. You have to be able to

560
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: focus it and guide it. You can't just use your

561
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: physical body and pause. Visla is like, aha, maybe that

562
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: means that you don't deserve this. Let's go, let's fight.

563
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: My great great ancestor made that, so technically it's mine.

564
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 2: So what do you say? Let's do and Dinjarn accepts.

565
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: The fight sons jet packs takes place on a walkway

566
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: like hanging over the void, and it's dark saber versus

567
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: vibroblade and a little energy shield. It's a seesaw battle

568
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: with Pause disarming Mando, but then he is even worse

569
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: at wielding the blade than Mando with and Mando wins.

570
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: He's got the vibra blade to pause his neck and

571
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: the armor. The armor then asks the combatants if they've

572
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: ever taken off their helmet. I have a note here

573
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: for the armor, and like, listen, I get it. It's

574
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: hard when you're the only people left and you got

575
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: to make up the rules as you go. But I

576
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: kind of feel like you have to ask the helmet

577
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 1: thing before the fight, Yeah, because like what if what

578
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: if Mando kills Pause and now there's only two of

579
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: you and you're excommunicating half the community, Like what do

580
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: we do?

581
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 2: Like and now you're alone? How does these this can't

582
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 2: walk like this?

583
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 3: I also couldn't walk out. I was like, is this

584
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 3: her way of not having dinn like lead them, because

585
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 3: I feel like she knows that pazesn't never taken off

586
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 3: that helmet, but when Mando wins, suddenly she wants to

587
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 3: know if either of them have taken it office like

588
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:06,959
Speaker 3: who's more likely the one who has a cute baby

589
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 3: that all this like badass like death Watch guy, Like

590
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 3: I wonder, so I was trying to walk out, like

591
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 3: was this like a mistake or was this a tactical decision?

592
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 2: That's a good point. It's kind of wow.

593
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: I read it in the moment as a kind of

594
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: ritualistic thing that you ask, you know, like like like

595
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: all rise when you enter a courtroom. But maybe you're

596
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: maybe you're right, because she had to know that one

597
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 1: of the two was much more likely to have taken

598
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: up their Olbut so Dinna's like.

599
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 2: Ah, wait what you what did you say?

600
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: And she's like have you ever taken off your helmet?

601
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: And he's like, ah, well, like all like all the

602
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: way off or like like what are we talking about?

603
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: Like just the just the chin or okay, I took

604
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: it off and the armor.

605
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 2: Ex communicates a mandal hand me out. She's like, bye,

606
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 2: that's it.

607
00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: Hand in your Mandalorian driver's license. You are out now.

608
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 2: Listen.

609
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: Legends the songs of EON's pass do say you can

610
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: get back in the good graces by bathing in the

611
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: living waters of the minds of Mandolor.

612
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 2: And then also they would destroyed. They were destroyed. Luck so,

613
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 2: oh shit, what are we gonna do?

614
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 3: Uh?

615
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: So Din packs his things and heads for the airport,

616
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: and literally the airport like he's got to go through security,

617
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 1: which is a slight hiccup because Dinn is, of course

618
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: heavily heavily heavily armed, and has to spend like twenty

619
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: minutes taking out his bullets and like putting the dark

620
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: saber in a case and like unspooling all the cable

621
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: from his like wrist cable shooter, the whole thing. He

622
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: eventually gets on a Correllian freighter expressed a tattooed on

623
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: board the freighter in a wonderful little scene of Rodian

624
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: child waves it Din from the row ahead, and clearly

625
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: you're thinking, oh, it's this young green alien.

626
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 2: Of course, dinn is thinking of Krogo. You could just

627
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 2: see it on his helmet that He's like, oh, Grogu,

628
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 2: my friend back on tattooing. We're back.

629
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: We go to our friend Pelly Motto's repair shop, played

630
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:18,359
Speaker 1: by the great and hilarious Amy Sedaris, and she has a.

631
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,800
Speaker 2: New droid, a b D droid.

632
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: Is it BD one itself from the Fallen Order games?

633
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, but it is definitely a b D droid,

634
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: which was so fantastic and cute to see. Pelly, with

635
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: an assist from Mando, rescues the bed from a womp

636
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 1: rat and then Mando's Pelly's like, what are you doing here?

637
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 3: Man?

638
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 2: I was like, you called me? What are you talking?

639
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 2: You called me?

640
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 1: You said you had a replacement for my old Razorcress

641
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 1: that's now gone. So Pelly shows Mando a wreck of

642
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: an N one Nabuoian Royal Starfighter pre Imperial antique built

643
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: on the orders of the Queen of Noboo herself.

644
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 2: Built by hand.

645
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 4: It is.

646
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 1: It is theoretically super cool, but in really bad shape.

647
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: It's not assembled, it is a wreck, and Mando's like,

648
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: I'm not buying this. I'm not spending money on this.

649
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: Then Pelly goes into the hard cell. Hey, listen, I know,

650
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: I know it's looks in pieces right now, but I

651
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: have all the pieces, put all the pieces together. Now

652
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 1: here's the cool thing about this ship. It is so

653
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: old it's untraceable, and it can dock without the standard

654
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: docking ring because it's pre Empire and like, if you're

655
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: into resale value once again, I have to say, commissioned

656
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,720
Speaker 1: by the Queen of Newbook personally. So Dinn and Pelly

657
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:35,240
Speaker 1: and the Droids get busy reassembling this thing. Pelly brings

658
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: Mando a turbonic Venturi assimilator that she got from Jawa's

659
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: which uh, which allows her to tell Mando that, listen,

660
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: I have a good relationship with the Jawas. I let

661
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,720
Speaker 1: them dig through my trash and also I once dated

662
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 1: a Jawa who are harry?

663
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 2: Which was an unbelievable reveal. It is shocking, shocking reveal

664
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 2: to the cop.

665
00:35:56,239 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: Is shocking, a one of the most shocking reveals Star

666
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 1: Wars history. I let them pick through my dumpster, which

667
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,280
Speaker 1: all of a sudden took on numerous different meanings.

668
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 3: Yes.

669
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 1: Din then gives the Javas a list of parts to

670
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,720
Speaker 1: get for him, and when the Java's returned, didn't learns

671
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: from the Jawas that they stole one of the items

672
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: from a Pike ship.

673
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 2: And the Pikes are in the area. They are mustling in.

674
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,879
Speaker 1: On tattooing and pelly tales Mando law enforcement won't even

675
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 1: go near them.

676
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 2: Now.

677
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: Didn takes the end One out for a spin and

678
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: it is just a really fun sequence, super fun Star

679
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: Wars sequence. Uh.

680
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,280
Speaker 2: The completed ship has a little bubble for Grogu instead

681
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 2: of the astronot part, which is delightful.

682
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 1: It's gonna be He's gonna love it. Didn't whips the

683
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:47,879
Speaker 1: end one through Beggar's Canyon. We see the guardrails. Uh, yeah,

684
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 1: they never fix They never fixed the guardrails that Anagin

685
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: slammed through in the Phantom Menace, which was a wonderful

686
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: little Easter egg. He then takes the End One up

687
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: into orbit, where he buzzes the commercial flight that he

688
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: had previously wrote on the Rodian child waves at him.

689
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 2: The next thing you know, it's.

690
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:11,959
Speaker 1: Boo boop or puller pullet politic bart He's a dinner

691
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 1: is pulled over by New Republic X wings and our

692
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 1: good friend lead Officer Captain Carson Teva is the leader

693
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 1: of this squadron.

694
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 2: Mando doesn't have his license, doesn't.

695
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 1: Have his registration, doesn't have tags, doesn't have insurance. But

696
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: he promise, listen, I just put this thing together. I'm

697
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:30,919
Speaker 1: getting all that. I promise you can. I just get

698
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 1: off of the warning. Teva's like, yeah, I'll let you

699
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 1: go with the warning, but I recognize your voice from

700
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:41,240
Speaker 1: this crazy like incident involving Imperial dead enders back in Navarro.

701
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 2: Is that you? And Amanda's like, I don't.

702
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 1: Want to talk about a boom hits the afterburst and

703
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,919
Speaker 1: is gone. Uh so that's a hard now, So here's

704
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 1: my question. So we now know the New Republic is

705
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:56,800
Speaker 1: on Tattooine. The Pips are like wide out in the open,

706
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: like pushing into the area. It's weird one that the

707
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 1: New Republic is like pulling over speeders and doesn't care

708
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 1: about the pikes, which leads me to ask, is someone

709
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: in the New Republic helping it working with the pikes somehow?

710
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:12,919
Speaker 2: Yeah?

711
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 3: I'm really interested in what the who the Pikes are

712
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 3: and what they might be connected to, because it seems

713
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 3: one like we get it. The New Republic is like

714
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 3: some funny old dudes in some old X wings, Like,

715
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 3: we get it.

716
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,280
Speaker 2: It's like boomers, all boomers.

717
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 3: It's like they're always a little bit late to show up.

718
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 3: They're kind of pretty chilled out. So I get it

719
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 3: they might not want to be going against this syndicate

720
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 3: that's across the whole gahlexy. But at the same time,

721
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 3: I'm like, guys, guys, yeah, I'm I want to know.

722
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 3: I feel like the way that they're seeding it, there

723
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 3: has to be some kind of connection with the Pikes

724
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 3: in the New Republic, at least somebody a little bit

725
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:55,760
Speaker 3: high up, and Star Wars has always been about corrupt politicians,

726
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,280
Speaker 3: trade wars, all this kind of stuff, so it would

727
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 3: really fit in. But also like are the Pikes really

728
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 3: just like the Pikes or are they working for someone else?

729
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 3: Is it? Is it gonna be some night you know,

730
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 3: Nights of ren I know that's one of the things

731
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 3: that people just keep thinking about, like is it gonna be?

732
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 3: You know, are we gonna Seekira? Like I feel like

733
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 3: they do such a good job of this show, with

734
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 3: this show of kind of sprinkling in these little bits

735
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 3: that we can take from and again, the mcuification of

736
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,320
Speaker 3: Star Wars. Oh what could this mean? Yeah? What's the theory?

737
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 3: Is it Mephisto? You know, like the little nods that

738
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 3: if you've read the books, where you've watched the movies,

739
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 3: or you've watched a Mandalorian you can take some guesses about.

740
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 3: And I feel like the way they're playing with the Pikes,

741
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 3: they're either going to do a really great fake out

742
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:45,240
Speaker 3: where it's just this new terrible crime syndicate that's gonna

743
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 3: become a big part of Star Wars, or it's something

744
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 3: else entirely that's much more connected to the universe as

745
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 3: we already know it.

746
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 1: Finally, Din lands back at Pelly's shop. Finnix Shan shows up.

747
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: She's like, I've got an offer some work here. You

748
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: need some work. It's great pay, it's a muscle gig.

749
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 2: You're beefing for.

750
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 1: My good buddy Boba Fett, who show this theoretically is

751
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 1: even though he has not appeared at all in this episode,

752
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 1: it's been all you, buddy, uh and Dinjarren the Mandalorian

753
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: says absolutely, I will work for you.

754
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 2: In fact, I'll work for no money. But I gotta

755
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 2: go get my son, he.

756
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 3: Says, I go to go see a little friend. Yeah,

757
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 3: I go to go see my little friend and I'm like, wow,

758
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 3: I love him.

759
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, we were worried.

760
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:38,240
Speaker 1: We were worried after Mandelarian season two where it seemed

761
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,360
Speaker 1: like maybe maybe season three of The Mandalorian is not

762
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: going to involve any Grogu, and that clearly appears to

763
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: not be the case.

764
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 2: Greg, Who's going to be back in our lines? Which fantastic.

765
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: Okay, let's thoughts on this episode. Any predictions at all,

766
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,320
Speaker 1: like any any theories about what's going on here.

767
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:58,360
Speaker 3: So I do really think that they did a great

768
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 3: fake out at the end where they have of season

769
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 3: two of The mad Laurian where they had Luke take

770
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 3: Grogu and it's like he's a Jedi. But now I

771
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 3: understand this episode specifically, kind of leaning on what we

772
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 3: talked about, I think this connection between Mandalor through Dinn

773
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 3: and then the Jedi through Grogu is going to be

774
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 3: like really key to the future of what we see

775
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 3: in Star Wars, and I think it's going to be

776
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:26,760
Speaker 3: about building on these two separate clans and separate belief

777
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:28,879
Speaker 3: systems and trying to find a way whether the two

778
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 3: of them can come together and I think that is

779
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 3: going to be really really key. I also think, like

780
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 3: I know how they've been writing this show, so I

781
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 3: want it to be that we'll see Ggu in the

782
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 3: next episode, or we'll see that Grogu's but little friend

783
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 3: could also mean like any number of like creatures. So

784
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 3: I'm also like, I've got the Grogu fit. But we

785
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 3: know he had a Mandalorian armor made for Grogu, which

786
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 3: looks kind of like a chain mail. I think was

787
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:54,760
Speaker 3: kinda vibe.

788
00:41:55,080 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 1: So that little chain mail Bescarwesi for a little everybody.

789
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 3: For the baby.

790
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 2: I mean.

791
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,879
Speaker 3: Also, my biggest takeaway from this, like moving away from

792
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 3: predictions just slightly, is like, when are they going to

793
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:10,359
Speaker 3: give Bryce Dallis Howard a Star Wars movie? Because I'm

794
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 3: sorry this this was great.

795
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 2: It looks unbelievable, it looked on it.

796
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 3: Just everything about it, like that the Ringla I was

797
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 3: just like, oh my god, when the way you could

798
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 3: see the gardens and the outdoor, but all things like

799
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 3: this scene where Dinn goes to get his money with

800
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 3: the head in the bag, it's like a I don't

801
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 3: know if it's a true one shot, but it was

802
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 3: made to look like a one shot from when he

803
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 3: goes up in the elevator he goes when he's having

804
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 3: the conversation with the gangsters. It's like moving constantly around

805
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 3: the table. It just looked so cool, so good. I

806
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 3: just I loved this episode. I think it's really exciting

807
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 3: and I'm very interested to see will the next episode

808
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 3: be an adventure with Dinn trying to get Grogu. Will

809
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 3: we go back to Boba and be waiting for Dinn

810
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 3: to come back to be the muscle. Yeah, I'm also

811
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 3: really interested to see what else they start pulling in

812
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 3: from the cartoons, from Rebels, same from Clone Wars, because

813
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:14,799
Speaker 3: so much of this stuff that we saw today, the

814
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 3: Dark Saber, you know, the first live action representation of

815
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 3: the Fall of Mandalor. I think that is stuff that

816
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 3: if you watch these cartoons, if you read the books,

817
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 3: if you read the comics, you are well versed in.

818
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 3: But this is the first time that they're bringing it

819
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:33,479
Speaker 3: into this main movie style cannon in a deeper way.

820
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 3: So it's a really great introduction to new viewers who

821
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 3: mostly just watched movies in the theaters, got really into

822
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 3: the Mandalorian on TV. But I want to know where

823
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:48,839
Speaker 3: that's going and what else we will see them bring

824
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:54,320
Speaker 3: in from those like Rebels. The end of Rebels, I understand,

825
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,840
Speaker 3: Like I knowhi is. I grew up in the eighties

826
00:43:56,840 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 3: and the nineties. I love to d animation. See animation

827
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 3: is really hard for me to get my hands and

828
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 3: my head around. And I know that Clone Wars and Rebels,

829
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,800
Speaker 3: the animation style does not necessarily look appealing to people

830
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 3: of our age, But you've got to watch those shows,

831
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 3: especially like Rebels introduces some of the most interesting and

832
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:21,280
Speaker 3: coolest characters and also stuff like the end. The final

833
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 3: two episodes of that season introduced this unbelievable concepts into

834
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 3: Star Wars, of these ideas of almost fantasy.

835
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 2: Absolutely you know what I mean.

836
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:38,360
Speaker 3: I don't want to spoil it, but like the world

837
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 3: of what Star Wars can be, and I wonder as

838
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:43,800
Speaker 3: we get more into this. The thing that is very

839
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 3: wild about watching this show is it is set in

840
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 3: a timeline where we know what happens, which makes it

841
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 3: kind of feel like, well, how far can they really

842
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 3: go with it? Like where can it go? But I

843
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 3: feel like these concepts and ideas of timelines and portals

844
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:01,439
Speaker 3: and all these different cool things that exist in Star Wars. Now,

845
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 3: maybe we're going to start to see that to work

846
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 3: out almost different ways that the history can go from

847
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:09,879
Speaker 3: from what we know. And I think that the way

848
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 3: that this episode bridged the gap between everything from the

849
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,879
Speaker 3: High Republic to episode, you know, who thought we'd get

850
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 3: so many prequels references.

851
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I was that was so delightful. I honestly

852
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 1: thought it was going to be. It's absolutely joyous. I

853
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: really thought it was going to be. I thought for

854
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:30,760
Speaker 1: a second it was going to be a pod racer

855
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 1: that that Elly was going to unveil, But like that

856
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 1: it was an N one Starfighter was really really cool.

857
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: To your point about picking and choosing the fun stuff,

858
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 1: they've really they've picked some of the best stuff from

859
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 1: the prequels to to kind of reference here.

860
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 2: I agree with all that.

861
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 1: I do wonder this feels like there's been a lot

862
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 1: of kind of like not snickering, but like commentary about

863
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,839
Speaker 1: like how, oh, Book of Boba Fett is so bad

864
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:58,880
Speaker 1: that they just made it, you know, they hijacked it

865
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 1: and made it like the Mandolin into and a half.

866
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 1: But I do wonder if this series Book of Boafette

867
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 1: isn't going to be a handoff in some way of

868
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 1: giving Mando a lot of this who is back to

869
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 1: bounty hunting recall, giving Mando a lot of the stuff

870
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:21,360
Speaker 1: that Boba Fett did in Legends Cannon as a bounty hunter. Like,

871
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 1: I wonder if that if it's not going to be

872
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:26,880
Speaker 1: a kind of handoff in that way where yeah, Boba

873
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 1: Fett is this new type of you know, moral gangster

874
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 1: reigning from Tattooine and is like really out of the

875
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 1: game of bounty hunting, and it's actually Mando who is

876
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:43,400
Speaker 1: doing the bounty hunting adventures around the galaxy in the

877
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 1: way that Boba Fett did in Legends.

878
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:47,839
Speaker 2: I think I think I do wonder if we'll see

879
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:48,439
Speaker 2: something like that.

880
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 3: I think that makes a lot of sense, especially because

881
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people are realizing in their

882
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 3: reactions to this show that what they really liked about

883
00:46:56,719 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 3: Boba Fett was the Amah, was the Mandalorian aesthetic, was

884
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 3: the laws of Mandalor Rather than that they didn't necessarily

885
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 3: want to get to know Boba fet You know, that's

886
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 3: it's one of the curses of being an iconic character

887
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:12,360
Speaker 3: who's only in a film for a few minutes, you know,

888
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 3: it's like, once people get to know you, maybe you're

889
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 3: not going to live up to their their dreams or

890
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 3: their hopes or the cool vibes. But Dinn actually embodies

891
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:22,800
Speaker 3: a lot of what people really liked about Boba FETs,

892
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:24,240
Speaker 3: So I think it would make a lot of sense

893
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:28,440
Speaker 3: for them to become a malleable kind of like Din's

894
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 3: getting to gone some Boba adventures that we would know

895
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 3: Boba had been on, or you know, kind of him

896
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:36,760
Speaker 3: taking on that more cool, masked mandlier role. But obviously

897
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 3: with the little baby, there'll.

898
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:41,319
Speaker 1: Be a little baby and then finally, like man, we're

899
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 1: going to see something like the Mythosaur, right, I guess

900
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 1: the only question is who is going to be the

901
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 1: leader that like reunites the Mandalorian diasper. Is it going

902
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 1: to be Dingjarren? Is it going to be Bobo, who's

903
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 1: probably not interested in it? To be fair, Din is

904
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 1: not interested in it all, which makes him the likely

905
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:02,720
Speaker 1: person to end up being that. And will that bring

906
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 1: Din into conflict with Bo?

907
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 3: I wonder if they're going to set it up so

908
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 3: Bo wins the dark Saber back or something, because it

909
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 3: seems like you said, Dinn doesn't really want to lead

910
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 3: the Mandalorians. Boba definitely doesn't. It doesn't, so I wonder

911
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 3: if it will be that some kind of someone will

912
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 3: have to win it back from Din, but it will

913
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 3: be the right person.

914
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:29,800
Speaker 1: That's interesting because I also want to listen I Bocatan.

915
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:34,760
Speaker 1: As far as I'm concerned spotty history, I maybe wouldn't

916
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 1: be a bad leader for the Mandalorian people. But I

917
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 1: kind of think that if you preside over like the

918
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:44,040
Speaker 1: greatest holocaust in Mandalorian history, whether it was your fault

919
00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 1: or not, you're kind of done at that point, Like,

920
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 1: let's get a new candidate, Let's get some new blood

921
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 1: in there.

922
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 2: I think you're kind of finished.

923
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:54,399
Speaker 3: What if it was like something like because the idea

924
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 3: is anyone who wields it can lead the Madlurians doesn't

925
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 3: necessarily I was so Chris, our producer, just put it in.

926
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:03,960
Speaker 3: What if they did something where it's like Sabine, Because

927
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 3: technically Sabine ran one of the coolest characters of all time, archaeologist, cool,

928
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 3: cipher reader, badass, like everything, just absolutely amazing. She's artists,

929
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:22,480
Speaker 3: like cool like graffiti artists, but the graffiti is like

930
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 3: deeply connected to like weird Jedi law and like she

931
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:29,759
Speaker 3: is going to be in the Ahsoka show.

932
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:31,320
Speaker 2: Yes, is that confirmed?

933
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 1: We we're guessing, but I think it's a strong guess.

934
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 3: The general assumption is they passed the women Natasha lou Bordizo,

935
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 3: and I think everyone assumes that she's going to be sane,

936
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 3: so she may she may appear in a new upcoming

937
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 3: live action star warship. She's a fan favorite character and

938
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:50,360
Speaker 3: I think she has one of the coolest Mandalorian helmets

939
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 3: of all time. She's got this like orange and purple

940
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 3: bad and that could be a very cool different route

941
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:59,359
Speaker 3: for them to go, where you would give this fan

942
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:03,880
Speaker 3: favorite character through a new, more expanded role that is

943
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:07,760
Speaker 3: very unexpected and also doesn't necessarily have to cut into

944
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 3: the adventures and serialize nature of the kind of things

945
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 3: that people want to see the Mandalorian like Dinger and

946
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:14,719
Speaker 3: do them well.

947
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 1: This was a super fun episode of people. As you mentioned,

948
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:23,560
Speaker 1: it has like whispered as Mandalorian season two and a half.

949
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 1: I wonder how much Mando we're going to get here

950
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 1: on out. Is he just going to be a part

951
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:31,360
Speaker 1: of this show going forward. I don't know, but this

952
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 1: was one of my favorite episodes of television and a

953
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 1: little bit, really really fun show. Can't wait to keep

954
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 1: talking about it with you. Rosie up next, our friend

955
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 1: Kirk pictures us on Babylon five on our next segment

956
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:55,719
Speaker 1: of nerd Out. In this week's nerd Out, our recurring

957
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:57,719
Speaker 1: segment where you tell us what you love and why,

958
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:02,319
Speaker 1: my good friend kirknumber one Mavericks fan pitches us on

959
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:03,439
Speaker 1: Babylon five.

960
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,439
Speaker 4: Hello friends, my name is Kirk Henderson and I wanted

961
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 4: to pitch you on Babylon five. I discovered Babylon five

962
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 4: in the mid nineties while watching TNT. I'd been into

963
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 4: Star Trek since always. My first name is Kirk, after all,

964
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:18,880
Speaker 4: and the idea of a space show with computer generated

965
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 4: graphics was too much for ten year old me to

966
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:24,240
Speaker 4: pass up. I think more people should try this series

967
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:26,760
Speaker 4: out because it's a bit of a legacy nerdom show

968
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:29,439
Speaker 4: and that it's influential, but it's not as widely known

969
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:33,440
Speaker 4: as other fandoms. Written by J. Michael Strazinski, Babylon five

970
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:36,359
Speaker 4: was a five season science fiction show which ran from

971
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:39,920
Speaker 4: nineteen ninety three to nineteen ninety eight. I think it's

972
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:43,480
Speaker 4: one of the first shows to use CGI over models

973
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:46,440
Speaker 4: for special Effects. It followed a group of humans and

974
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:49,800
Speaker 4: aliens on a space station labeled the last best hope

975
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:52,880
Speaker 4: for peace in this universe. Humans are what I'd consider

976
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 4: to be a mid major football program in the species hierarchy.

977
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,400
Speaker 4: Humans are pushing into space, but are not near the

978
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 4: most techno logically advanced species. What made this show different

979
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:05,319
Speaker 4: was at this point in time when it aired, there

980
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:08,400
Speaker 4: was very little serialized storytelling, at least in the science

981
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:12,240
Speaker 4: fiction world. Next Generation and Deep Space nine, for example,

982
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 4: were still mostly weak to week bottle episodes with some

983
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:19,399
Speaker 4: overarching storytelling. I'd argue that Babylon Five helped push Deep

984
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:22,719
Speaker 4: Space nine to greatness in its later seasons. The five year,

985
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 4: one hundred and ten episode arc of Babylon five was

986
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 4: largely mapped out in advance and executed by Strazinsky in

987
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:31,839
Speaker 4: a way that I had not come in contact with

988
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 4: in television at that point in time. The overarching story

989
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 4: was the slow return of an ancient and powerful race,

990
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:44,839
Speaker 4: but returning for what the show dealt with, war, occupation, racism, classism,

991
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:47,319
Speaker 4: and all the other themes that a great science fiction

992
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:50,920
Speaker 4: show tackles. It replaces the lead for story reasons. As

993
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 4: far as I can Tell one season in and keeps

994
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:57,719
Speaker 4: kicking ass. Andreas Catsulis the One Armed Man from The Fugitive,

995
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:01,279
Speaker 4: and Peter Jurisic from Hill Street Blas Lose play the

996
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:04,960
Speaker 4: best supporting characters of any science fiction show ever, at

997
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:07,680
Speaker 4: least in my opinion. It has a clear arc and

998
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 4: a very satisfying ending. Oh and Walter Koenig check Off

999
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:14,720
Speaker 4: from Star Trek has a recurring role as a member

1000
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:17,640
Speaker 4: of a psychic intelligence for us that's nefarious as hell.

1001
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:21,120
Speaker 4: I can't recommend this show enough. It's on HBO Max

1002
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 4: right now and it's had the CGI touched up a

1003
00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:28,200
Speaker 4: little bit. And what's better is that J. Michael Strazinski

1004
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:31,240
Speaker 4: is returning to the series getting a full on reboot.

1005
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 4: Thank you for having me on the pod. It's a

1006
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 4: wonderful show.

1007
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:36,720
Speaker 1: Correc Thanks for submitting. If you want to be featured,

1008
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 1: send your nerd out pitch and voice memos recording to

1009
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 1: x Ray at Crooked dot com. The instructions are in

1010
00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:53,880
Speaker 1: the show notes. Up next, the Endgame. We are in

1011
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:56,280
Speaker 1: the Endgame now and today Rosie and I are playing

1012
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:59,439
Speaker 1: Mando Kart, where we pick a Star Wars vehicle, Star

1013
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:03,279
Speaker 1: Wars character and a Star Wars weapon to run the

1014
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:08,560
Speaker 1: Rainbow Road course of Mario Kart. Now, Rainbow Road, It's divisive.

1015
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:10,919
Speaker 1: It really is just kind of like an Infinity loop.

1016
00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 1: But I think it has the best theme song in

1017
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:15,920
Speaker 1: all of Mario Kart, and I can't wait to talk

1018
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:18,400
Speaker 1: about it. Pretty sure, Chris, flip a coin and I

1019
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:20,280
Speaker 1: will call it and we'll see who goes first.

1020
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:24,840
Speaker 2: Cool, ready, all right, flipping tails?

1021
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:24,239
Speaker 1: It is.

1022
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:28,200
Speaker 2: Oh, so I get to choose. Oh okay, I'll go first. Okay,

1023
00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:30,280
Speaker 2: a Rainbow Road. So Rainbow Road.

1024
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:34,840
Speaker 1: I think I want to hover here and oh okay,

1025
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:37,680
Speaker 1: I know what I'm gonna do. So here's my strategy

1026
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:40,839
Speaker 1: for Mario Kart most of the time is I don't

1027
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 1: care about weight, you know, because like having a heavy

1028
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:47,719
Speaker 1: character like dry Bowser Metal Mario, it's important for like

1029
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:50,080
Speaker 1: knocking opponents like off their track.

1030
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:52,800
Speaker 2: I don't care about that. I pick a character I

1031
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:53,160
Speaker 2: think is.

1032
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:56,080
Speaker 1: Cute, and I also pick like the vehicle that I

1033
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:58,239
Speaker 1: think is cute, and I also pick the wheels that

1034
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:00,040
Speaker 1: I think are cute, and then I pick like the

1035
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 1: glider that I think is the cutest.

1036
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 2: I basically pick for cuteness not stats.

1037
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:08,719
Speaker 1: Now, if I'm losing a lot, I will maybe go

1038
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:12,799
Speaker 1: to dry bowser and then some other like a motorcycle

1039
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 1: or something, but usually I just go for cuteness. So

1040
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:16,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stick with that. I'm gonna go for cuteness.

1041
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:18,920
Speaker 1: And here's what I'm gonna do. It's not about winning.

1042
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 1: This is about doing it in style. My character is Grogu.

1043
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:24,360
Speaker 1: Now this is actually I think would be great on

1044
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:28,760
Speaker 1: the Rainbow Road course. I'm gonna pick Grogu's little hover

1045
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:33,240
Speaker 1: baby carriage from Mando's season one and two, that uh Mando,

1046
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:36,520
Speaker 1: you know, with a little retractable roof. It's true it

1047
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:41,160
Speaker 1: doesn't go very fast, but Rainbow Road is all about

1048
00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:45,680
Speaker 1: turns and hairpin turns and I and the complete lack

1049
00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:48,319
Speaker 1: of friction I think is gonna is gonna work in

1050
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:50,560
Speaker 1: my favorite. So I'm gonna go with the little kind

1051
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 1: of floating baby carriage for baby Grogu.

1052
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:53,600
Speaker 2: Weapon.

1053
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:56,880
Speaker 1: Does he need one technically because he can just like

1054
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,279
Speaker 1: force stuff. Now the danger here is he forces he

1055
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:01,480
Speaker 1: used the force and falls asleep. Now he's asleep in

1056
00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:05,880
Speaker 1: the baby carriage. Okay, so that is a problem. But

1057
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:09,839
Speaker 1: the races only last like three minutes. So I'm gonna

1058
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:13,239
Speaker 1: say his weapon is the Force, and then uh, let's

1059
00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:17,960
Speaker 1: see for the glider. Gosh, you know, theoretically I don't

1060
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:19,560
Speaker 1: need to know that he needs a glider, but I

1061
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:21,880
Speaker 1: think if we were gonna make one and kind of

1062
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:25,480
Speaker 1: tied into what we're doing, uh, you know the theme

1063
00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:28,680
Speaker 1: of this conversations where we've been having, I'm gonna say,

1064
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:32,320
Speaker 1: let's make the glider out of Banta hide. Well, Banta

1065
00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:35,400
Speaker 1: for glider. It probably wouldn't glide that well, but that's fine.

1066
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of jumps on Rainbow Road.

1067
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 2: And those are my picks. We're not gonna win, but

1068
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:43,719
Speaker 2: we're gonna look great doing it. Rosie, what do you have?

1069
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 2: I love that.

1070
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:48,759
Speaker 3: That's definitely my general. When I really play Amrica, I

1071
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:52,440
Speaker 3: generally go for like what looks cool, and I usually like, like,

1072
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 3: when I play a fighting game, I usually just pick

1073
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:57,280
Speaker 3: any woman. So I'm like, now, Mario Coo, I'm always

1074
00:56:57,360 --> 00:57:00,759
Speaker 3: like Princess Daisy, Oh, Princess Page or like you know,

1075
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 3: it's like I'll be immortal combat. I mean that has

1076
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:07,800
Speaker 3: Actually they have so many good women characters that told me, really, well, okay,

1077
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 3: so you went for ultra cute. So I'm gonna go

1078
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:12,560
Speaker 3: for my My general rule that I've gone into with

1079
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:16,360
Speaker 3: the newest Marrier car on my switch is the motorcycles

1080
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 3: are like very good. Yeah, and everyone has like a

1081
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:21,640
Speaker 3: funny themed motorcycle. So I players Isabelle from Animal Crossing

1082
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 3: a lot on her Animal Crossing motorcycle. So I'm gonna

1083
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:27,880
Speaker 3: go for I'm gonna pick. I'm just gonna go for

1084
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:30,520
Speaker 3: my faves. So I'm picked Podammern. He's a great fly.

1085
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:34,360
Speaker 3: He's a great, great pilot, great fly, coffee fly boy,

1086
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:39,160
Speaker 3: wonderful guy. And because of the nature of how good

1087
00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 3: a motorcycle is, I'm gonna go for raised speeder because

1088
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:45,000
Speaker 3: that's the closest thing I feel like to a motorcycle.

1089
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:48,919
Speaker 1: I'm hearing right now, Chris, You've got to put March

1090
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:52,280
Speaker 1: over the Resistance, the theme song March of the Resistance.

1091
00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:53,040
Speaker 2: You've got to put.

1092
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:57,360
Speaker 3: Under this, you know. I think the thing that you

1093
00:57:57,360 --> 00:57:59,480
Speaker 3: did that was really powerful for Rainbow Road is like

1094
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:03,400
Speaker 3: grog who can just like force lift himself up. So like,

1095
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:05,840
Speaker 3: I think that's really and I feel like a speed

1096
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:08,760
Speaker 3: this this kind of hobvest speeder technology is good because

1097
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:10,280
Speaker 3: it's like if you go a little bit off, you

1098
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:12,240
Speaker 3: can hopefully come back on before you fall off.

1099
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:12,480
Speaker 1: You know.

1100
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:16,000
Speaker 3: I also am of the belief, the old school Star

1101
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:19,800
Speaker 3: Wars belief that anyone who is for sensitive is usually

1102
00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 3: a really good pilot. So I believe podammro And is

1103
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 3: for sensitive. I believe Han Solo is slightly for sensitive.

1104
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:28,360
Speaker 1: I absolutely love this take and I subscribe to it

1105
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 1: as well.

1106
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:32,640
Speaker 3: It is like a classic Anakin brilliant pilot, you know, Luke,

1107
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:35,600
Speaker 3: brilliant pilot, like we know the Vader. We know this

1108
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 3: is a thing like. So I believe that Poe is

1109
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:41,320
Speaker 3: for sensitive in the comics. You know, he grew up

1110
00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:45,440
Speaker 3: his mother was a badass pilot and guess what in

1111
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:49,480
Speaker 3: his in her garden there was force trees, baby, Yeah,

1112
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 3: force trees. So I believe it. I wrote a lot

1113
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:53,960
Speaker 3: of articles about it, Podamner and force sensitive. So if

1114
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 3: he's gonna fall off, hopefully the Force can help him

1115
00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:59,000
Speaker 3: a little bit. Weapon wise, I'm just sticking with my faths,

1116
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:03,720
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna go for the most underrated but unquestionably

1117
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:06,400
Speaker 3: powerful weapon in the whole Star Wars universe, which is

1118
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:12,200
Speaker 3: the Ewoks spear. Oh, how dude, I'm sorry. Like those Ewoks,

1119
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 3: they are the reason that anyone wan the Ewoks spear

1120
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:20,520
Speaker 3: is very powerful apparently can take down the Empire. That's

1121
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:22,320
Speaker 3: just how it is. I love Ewoks. I've got an

1122
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:25,080
Speaker 3: end or tattoo like, that's just how it is. So

1123
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 3: I'm taking it, okay, if we can make any if

1124
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:35,760
Speaker 3: we can make any glider, my glider will be. This

1125
00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 3: is in honor of Oscar Isaac and his passion for

1126
00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:43,280
Speaker 3: this ship, that my glider will be like a little

1127
00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:47,920
Speaker 3: chibby image of Poe and Finn kissing when yeah, I

1128
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:50,760
Speaker 3: mean Oscar Isaac, he wanted it. He wanted them so

1129
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:53,000
Speaker 3: bad to be in love. I truly believe that's when

1130
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:56,160
Speaker 3: the timeline started going bad, when they didn't just commit

1131
00:59:56,200 --> 01:00:00,320
Speaker 3: to Finn and Pobian gay. So I'm like, I'm gonna

1132
01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:04,080
Speaker 3: pay homage to Oscar Isaac's favorite ship, and that will

1133
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:06,320
Speaker 3: be it. It's like a little they're not smooching so much,

1134
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:08,040
Speaker 3: you know, maybe just little kiss on the cheek, little

1135
01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:10,760
Speaker 3: love hot eyes. It's like very cute, distract some people

1136
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:14,560
Speaker 3: while he's flying. I also probably wouldn't win because Rainbow

1137
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:17,680
Speaker 3: Row is really hard. Yeah, and I'm terrible breaking fine,

1138
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:19,720
Speaker 3: we would look so cool, we.

1139
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:21,400
Speaker 2: Would look so cool. We're just having a good time.

1140
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:24,040
Speaker 2: That's all. That's all, and that's it for the end game.

1141
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:26,480
Speaker 1: Let us know what you think one and use hashtag

1142
01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:28,160

01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:54,760
Speaker 3: Star Wars, all this kind of stuff at Nerdict. I

1152

Speaker 3: write a lot of movie reviews at IGN and also

1153
01:00:57,480 --> 01:00:59,919
Speaker 3: some comics stuff there. You know, comics and the MCU

1154
01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 3: has been so big recently, but a few years ago,

1155
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:05,560
Speaker 3: Star Wars was really big, my big writing thing. So

1156
01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 3: if you like any of the stuff we were talking about,

1157
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:11,320
Speaker 3: especially with Rebels and Clone Wars, I did a lot

1158
01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:13,720
Speaker 3: of deep dives into some stuff that I think now

1159
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:17,000
Speaker 3: is probably gonna become relevant in Star Wars. So all

1160
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 3: that kind of stuff on my website, you can just

1161

Speaker 1: was coming. Can you if you can't announce it, which

1171
01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:45,600

1172
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:47,959
Speaker 2: Tease it here for the people I can't.

1198
01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:05,000
Speaker 3: If you guys haven't seen it, the bit of the

1199
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:08,120
Speaker 3: episode today where they pull him over, I'm pretty sure

1200
01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:11,080
Speaker 3: it's like a direct reference the guy who made Battle Royale.

1201
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:14,160
Speaker 3: This Japanese autur called Kinji fuk Osaka, who's so great.

1202
01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:17,480
Speaker 3: He made a Star Wars knockoff, like two years off.

1203
01:03:17,520 --> 01:03:20,280
Speaker 3: The movie came out called Message from Space, This Japanese

1204
01:03:20,320 --> 01:03:23,880
Speaker 3: Star Wars knock off, and it's like fucking incredible. But

1205
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:26,160
Speaker 3: one of the main set pieces is them getting like

1206
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:29,360
Speaker 3: pulled over by two X wings. It's called Message from Space.

1207
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:30,720
Speaker 3: It's so good.

1208
01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:31,920
Speaker 2: It used to just.

1209
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:33,520
Speaker 3: Be on YouTube, I think for free, but I think

1210
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:36,040
Speaker 3: Shout Factory did like a DVD version of it. I

1211
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:38,400
Speaker 3: watched a lot of bad Star Wars knockoffs, but that's

1212
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:40,040
Speaker 3: the best one. Like it's I've got a poster of

1213
01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:42,280
Speaker 3: it in my house, like probably my favorite movie. It's

1214
01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:45,200
Speaker 3: just so weird. I was like, that's the Easter Egg.

1215
01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:47,680
Speaker 3: I actually think that they put in there to that

1216
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:49,720
Speaker 3: movie because I was just like, no one in Star

1217
01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:52,560
Speaker 3: Wars never getting pulled over by X wings And I

1218
01:03:52,640 --> 01:03:56,360
Speaker 3: was like, Oh, except in this movie. That's like a

1219
01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:57,640
Speaker 3: funny joke movie.

1220
01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:02,560
Speaker 5: In the nineteen seven a young group of violent revolutionaries

1221
01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:06,400
Speaker 5: joined forces to create the Weather Underground Organization, a group

1222
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:09,960
Speaker 5: of radicals who brawled with police officers and bombed the Pentagon,

1223
01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:12,920
Speaker 5: all in the name of ending racism.
