We'll probably dive 0:02:56.800 --> 0:03:00.880 into these at a more detail oriented way at a 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:05.079 later date, but let's kind of run through the highlights now, 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:09.560 starting with Oh gosh, let's start with the Star Wars 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:12.160 Jedi Survivor trailer. This is, of course, the sequel to 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:15.000 twenty nineteenth Jedi Fallen Order, a game that is harder 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:18.840 than you expected to be when you start playing it. 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:25.040 The game that introduced us to cal kestis the only 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:29.160 partially trained Jedi Aclighte on the run from the Inquisitors. 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:31.600 They do a bang up job of trying to get him. 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.840 More on that later, and of course introduce this is 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:37.520 also to his wonderful droid buddy bed one bd one, 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:40.480 who I absolutely I lim a two legged robot. 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:41.080 Uh. 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:45.440 And this trailer looks great. I can't wait to play it. 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:49.080 I love Jedi Fallen Order. It gave us a lot 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:53.040 of background on on the Inquisitors, something that is very 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:57.760 relevant right now. And I'm excited for this. Your thoughts, Rosy, Yeah? 0:03:57.800 --> 0:03:59.880 Same? I also think this is this is like one 0:03:59.880 --> 0:04:05.160 of the things that was a stealth and highly anticipated 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:07.200 thing going into this, Like this was the one where 0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:09.480 even like Chris had said it, like multiple people were like, 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:11.840 I know everything's gonna happening with TV and film, but 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:14.720 I want to know if we're getting a sequel, Like 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:16.640 what's the info. We haven't had to buy it for 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:19.320 a long time. Here's the tray list. So yeah, no, 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:21.440 I'm stoked. I love Beauty One, I love Droid. 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:24.800 We got a bad batch a season two trailer. It 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:28.440 is returning the fall our good friends of a new 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:33.080 look with some new armor and folks. This series will 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:38.360 feature appearances from Emperor Palpatine or good friend Palpi, who 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:41.240 is of course terrorizing the galaxy at this particular time 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:45.000 in galactic history, shocking our good friend Commander Cody. And 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:49.880 the big news, the big big news surviving Order sixty six. 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:50.560 Folks. 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:55.320 You know him from the Clone Wars. It's young Wookie 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:59.880 Jedi in training Sensation, the youngling gunje. 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:01.080 He has made it. 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:02.360 He survived. 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:05.800 Wow, this is exactly. 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:06.119 What I care about. 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:10.200 Absolutely. This is like the biggest news from Star Wars celebration. 0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:13.719 To me, I'm like a number one Lumpy stand I Uh, 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:16.880 if you've never just google Lumpy and you'll see why 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:20.839 I love him. So Gunji is like the that's like 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:24.520 the spiritual successor to the Lumpy throne. So I am 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:29.200 incredibly excited about this. I also feel like his inclusion 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:33.359 specifically and kind of where it is a hint of 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:35.600 where the Star Wars shows are going over one included 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:42.280 which is this very deep seeded interest in the young 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:47.159 lings and in Padawa, and that is like so that 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:49.640 and that was other things that they hinted with that, 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:51.640 you know, like I think there was like a kid's 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:54.840 show that they're doing called Young Jedi Adventures, which kind 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:57.080 of sounds almost like Young Jedi Academy, which is a 0:05:57.080 --> 0:06:00.680 big legends. But I think that they're really interested in 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:05.320 this very underspoken about in canon part of the Star 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:08.520 Wars law, which is these kids who are taken away 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:11.080 from their families to become Jedi and what does that mean? 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:14.520 And I'm really excited because I think that's that's a 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:18.880 very fertile ground for kind of emotional and fun and 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:21.520 epic Star Wars storytelling. 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:24.479 I couldn't agree more. And you are exactly right. We 0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:31.440 are exploring in detail the events surrounding Order sixty six 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:36.480 from different perspectives, which is a massive tectonic shift in 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:40.840 galactic history. And it's been really interesting to watch. And 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:45.239 of course that theme continues in Or We Want Kenobi Up. Next, 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:49.159 we get a trailer for and Or, which premieres August thirty, 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:53.680 first show run by Rogue One writer Tony Gilroy. 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:57.920 Tony Gilroy the script saving Icons and was bringing him in. 0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:02.320 This script saving him Rogue one if you catch me 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:04.839 on the right day. Rogue one is my favorite Star 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:11.760 Wars movie. It will I'll never forget. I just watched it, 0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:13.240 by the way, I watched it over the WEEKERD because 0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:15.480 I'm like, I want to watch it again. It tells 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:20.400 the story of Diego Luna's Cassian and Or, the kind 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:26.600 of like morally gray but very dedicated rebel spy who 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:32.239 is of course one of the heroes involved in stealing 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:35.520 the Death Star plans. This trailer just looks great. I 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:39.160 don't know what it's going to be about, but it 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:40.239 looks really good. 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:42.800 Yeah, it looks so good. And something I think is 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:45.280 very interesting that I would really love to see this 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:46.880 dig into more. And I think is one of the 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:49.200 strengths of Rogue One, which also is very high up 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:52.920 on my list and sometimes hits number one. Rogue One 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:57.560 did a really brilliant job of talking about the wreckage 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:03.600 and horrors raught by both the rebellion higher echelons of 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:07.080 the rebellion and the Empire, and kind of like that 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:10.680 really deep truth of who were the people who got 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:13.360 the medals at the end of the Stars trilogy and 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:16.240 who were the people who died so that that could happen. 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:20.760 And this trailer seems to be leaning into that notion 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:24.800 of the empire sucks, but who are these people in 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.800 charge who are leaving this to these young fighters, to 0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:31.280 these people who have to grovel and beg? And I'm 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:35.839 really interested. I love that socioeconomic aspect of Star Wars, 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:39.240 and I think this era has you know, they got 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:42.280 into it in the Last Jedi. Both people sell them 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:45.319 buy the weapons, you know, and I'm very interested to 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:48.000 see where it goes, because that was the main takeaway 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:50.520 from this trailer was kind of like I felt like 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:52.280 they were hinting that we were going to see this 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:57.680 kind of underclass who had allowed the Rebellion to become 0:08:58.000 --> 0:08:58.600 what they are. 0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:02.160 I mean, that's what so fascinates me about Roguan. One 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:06.280 of the things is this idea that you know, a 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:11.880 character like Sagerera who you know, if you you can 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:14.720 easily frame him as someone who went too far as 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:18.679 a terrorist. Even on the other hand, he was kind 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:21.240 of right about everything about the nature of the empire, 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:23.840 and he was right early before anybody else was even 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:28.960 thinking that way. And ultimately you kind of needed a 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:35.720 figure like that, paranoid maybe willing to act when no 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:38.560 one else was, in order to spark the thing that 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:41.880 would end up being the rebellion. And I love exploring 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:44.360 those spaces. I just love exploring that side of it, 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:44.760 you know. 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:49.760 Absolutely, especially you know, it goes back to that conversation 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:52.360 from like one of the most iconic fan conversations in 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:57.200 Kevin Smith's Cluk's right, what they do? What the rebellion do? 0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:00.880 What Luke does? They they blow up Death Star, they 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:05.720 kill so many people, they commit terrorism that well, it 0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:08.240 could be argued it was terrorism in under the guise 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:09.440 of Chopper. 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:10.720 A chopper level body count. 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:14.720 Yeah, like, how is that different to what sore is 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:17.040 Saw's version is just unsanctioned, right. 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:21.079 Right, So sad And asked permission, he just wants exactly Yeah. 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:26.079 And I find that to be a very interesting space 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:29.200 and always been about the politics. It's always been about 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:32.560 the bureaucracy, how it works, how it happens. And I 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:36.120 love that we're now in an era where we're seeing 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:40.640 that from a street level, not just from a galactic 0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:41.400 senate level. 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:44.720 So very very excited about this, and very very excited 0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:49.000 about our first look at the Ahsoka series. This of 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:55.920 course building off of Ahsoka's appearances in Mando. And after 0:10:56.720 --> 0:11:00.200 months and months and months of rumor, we have uh 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:04.720 casting news with Natasha lu Burdizzo, Australia actress, is gonna 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:12.120 play Rebels ghost star wart Sabine Writt. We can expect 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:17.319 a live action Harrison Doula, one of my favorite captains 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:20.840 of any ship in Star Wars history. And again, if 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:23.640 you come to me at the right day, that is 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:25.000 my Star Wars wife. 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:30.240 We see. And also, like, can I just say that 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:34.080 this also means speaking of legends, this also means that 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:37.960 we might get a live action version of her son Jason, 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:41.880 and his name is like I remember watching I wrote 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:43.960 about those last two episodes at Slash Film with a 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:47.360 colleague of mine and we just that was like our 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:50.280 biggest freakap everything that. Those last two episodes of Rebels 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:52.640 are probably my favorite TV of all time. Oh it's 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:55.880 so good, Like the well Beyond world it changed my life. 0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:58.160 I still can't believe they haven't built it further into 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:00.319 the live action world. 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:05.360 Beyond Worlds did more maybe than anything, you know, post 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:11.600 Legends in terms of expanding our perception of what the 0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:12.640 Force is. 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:15.400 How it interacts. 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:21.319 With living creatures. Just an incredible episode of Star Wars television. 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:24.760 And you know, you know, Rebels is my favorite Star Wars. 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:27.280 I think that in terms of like a run of 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:30.680 Star Wars stories, it's my favorite. You know, season two 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:37.520 on is like incredible. The inquisitors again incompetent. They can't 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:41.000 catch anybody. They can't catch a half trade Ezra Bridger, 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:44.120 who we expect to see in the Asika series. They 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:49.680 can't catch an uncited Canaan. They can't catch anybody. But 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:51.560 that's fine, we'll get into that more. And Obi wan 0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:56.640 uh very very excited for the Asoka series. Yeah, and 0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:57.600 then lastly, in. 0:12:59.640 --> 0:12:59.760 No. 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:05.360 One Surprised News, Obi Wan Kenobi star Moses Ingram plays 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:12.840 inquisitor Riva is only the latest actor talent, person involved 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:15.400 with Star Wars, person of color involved with Star Wars 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:20.560 to suffer racist abuse on social media. This follows, of course, 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:24.360 the experiences of John Boyega, Kelly Murray, Tran events that 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:30.119 kind of went unremarked upon by the larger corporate powers 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:35.000 and their colleagues. That lucasfilm is very, very welcome. Fashion 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:38.920 is pushed back about this, tweeting from the official Star 0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:41.120 Wars account quote, we are proud to welcome Moses Ingram 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:42.800 to the Star Wars family and excited for Riva's story 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:44.760 to unfold. Of anyone tends to make her feel in 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:46.480 any way and welcome. We have only one thing to say, 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:50.199 we resist. And then even more directly, there are more 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:52.680 than twenty million cente in species in the Star Wars galaxy. 0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:55.800 Don't choose to be racist. You and McGregor also posted 0:13:55.880 --> 0:14:00.520 in supportive of Moses, and all I have to say 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:03.440 is one, this is not surprising that, you know, for 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:06.080 a fandom as large as Star Wars, with a history 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:09.280 of kind of like of this kind of thing happening, 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:11.720 It's it's unsurprising this happens. Star Wars is such a 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:14.560 big fandom, if even if it's only zero point zero 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:20.360 zero five percent of the fan population that engages in 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:23.640 this toxic behavior. It's still a lot because the fan 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:26.520 base is so huge, and it is really really welcome 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:32.280 to see lucasfilm push back so strongly against it, because 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:35.400 you know, honestly, we don't need those people can perve 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:36.920 themselves any thoughts. 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:40.360 I just agree completely. I love to see you and 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:45.040 also standing alongside her, and his message was really good. 0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:47.480 This is just the bare minimum of what any of 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:49.320 these spaces should be doing. It's a shame we have 0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:52.080 to deal with it, but it is the place where 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:55.120 we're at now, and Moses is amazing and we really amazing. 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:58.880 We're going to get into why she's such an interesting character, 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:00.560 and let's do that right now. 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:17.920 Up next in the airlock, folks are stepping out of 0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:25.680 the airlock into the twice baked dunes of Tattooin that 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:29.840 are filled with ancient fish meat to discuss the first 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:33.560 three parts of the Disney Plus limited series Obi Wan Kenobi. 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:37.560 We start this speed light speed recap with part one. 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:45.840 We open in really shocking and embracing, emotionally like devastating 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:48.600 fashion with the massacre at the Jedi Temple, during Order 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:53.640 sixty six, we see the Jedi patawan's falling, their teachers 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:56.640 attempting to defend them, but all in vain, and we 0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:59.040 fast forward ten years later. We meet the Inquisitors, We 0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:01.880 meet the Grand Inquisitor, we meet Fifth Brother, we meet 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:07.960 Third Sister, Reva, and we see them interrogating locals on 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:13.200 Tattooine as they search for the various remnants of the 0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:16.920 Jedi diaspora who have fled the Masker and are still 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:23.600 out there somewhere. Young Jedi named Nari played by Benny Safti, 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:28.200 the part of the directing duo of the Safe Love, 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:32.520 rescues the canteen owner from Riva and he goes on 0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:37.080 the run. Meanwhile, Obi Wan Kenobi has fully rejected his 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:40.040 name obi Wan from his Jedi name. He only goes 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:42.320 by Ben. Now it's not all he's rejected. We come 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:45.040 to find out over the course of these three episodes 0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:48.320 that his connection with the force is extremely weak, very 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:55.680 very weak, in part consciously because clearly Ben has been 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:58.120 so traumatized by the events in his own failure to 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:02.440 stop the events some ten years past, that he has 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:07.480 willingly disconnected from the forest. Now he's earning his way 0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:12.040 as a salaried worker butchering sand whale meat and living 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:18.160 in a cave, watching young Luke skywalker from Afar and 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:21.760 trying to protect him from from a distance, occasionally making 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:30.560 contact with his jump again, let's not jump ahead, but 0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:33.880 like oh and Lard, occasionally making a contact with Owen. 0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:36.520 Lar's just to check in, and Owen, of course wants 0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:37.280 very little to do. 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:41.720 And I just want to say, Owen laws, yes, maybe 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:46.040 the sassiest man in the gallaxy. He's delivering some sick bun, 0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:50.639 which Obi Wan Canobi definitely deserves. If you've ever watched 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:52.320 Star Wars, and I know that this is like a 0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:54.880 fifty to fifty split. Fifty percent of people think Obi 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:57.119 Wan is the coolest guy in the world. I understand it, 0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:59.679 I get it. The other fifty percent like, what is 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:02.720 wrong with this guy? He is useless? Why didn't he 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:06.280 tell anyone anything? He is like betraying people constantly, like 0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:08.520 he is just not on it. And you know what, 0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:12.000 this is a show that has given you an in character, 0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:15.080 and it's Owen Last, Who's just like what the fuck, Like, 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:18.639 please leave my child and my family alone because my 0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:22.000 brother is dead and I'm just done and it is. 0:18:21.800 --> 0:18:23.840 It's great to see it, fantastic. 0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:30.920 Nari are on the run for sensitive ex Jedi perhaps 0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:36.879 comes to Obi Wan excuse me, Ben, he's undercover. That's right, 0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:40.400 he's Ben. Even though many have said this, but Ben, 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:42.320 stop dressing like a Jedi. 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:45.760 If you don't, I couldn't. Look, he couldn't dress more 0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:48.680 like a Jedi if he tried. And I'm sure that 0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:52.280 that is like narratively is like he has that connection. 0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:54.680 Maybe he doesn't know how to dress any other way 0:18:54.680 --> 0:18:57.639 because he was stolen at birth by Jedies and raised 0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:01.080 in robes. But seriously, you go, everyone is walking around 0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:04.000 this town being like, oh, where's the Jedi, and this 0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:06.200 guy is just wearing Jedi robes. 0:19:07.800 --> 0:19:10.640 Put on pants, in a shirt, you know what, even. 0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:13.879 A robe that's like purple, even a robe that's not brown, 0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:16.080 the brown robe is it's too much, man. 0:19:16.440 --> 0:19:19.639 So Nari comes to Ben and is like, oh canlby, 0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:22.080 You're my only hope. 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:25.560 He's like, mast like, let's do it, man, we gonna help. 0:19:25.680 --> 0:19:28.639 Yeah, we gotta do something like yes, finally, like you know, 0:19:28.680 --> 0:19:33.199 it's been ten long years. The empire is is it 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:37.440 seems unshakable. We have to do something and Ben is like, nope, hey, 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:40.600 good luck to you, wish you well, but I'm out 0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:44.119 of the game. Sorry about it. And it's heartbreaking to 0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:47.800 watch this because this is where, this is how shattered 0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:51.200 and traumatized Ben is. And then we go from here 0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:56.160 to Alderan. We're in it absolutely shocking at the time 0:19:56.200 --> 0:20:01.960 for me. Development We meet the young princess Ghana, who 0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:05.960 is precocious, not one to listen to any kind of 0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:11.879 direction from any kind of adult figure, and it just 0:20:11.960 --> 0:20:14.919 loves being out here running around the woods. I was 0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:17.000 not expecting this and it was amazing. 0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:19.600 It's so amazing, and I have to give a big 0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:21.960 shout out because if you heard, if you listened last week, 0:20:22.200 --> 0:20:25.200 you would have heard us talking about Kathleen Kennedy saying 0:20:25.280 --> 0:20:28.400 we can never recast a character d D. I want 0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:32.320 to give Kathleen five hundred stars for her incredible Red 0:20:32.320 --> 0:20:35.720 Herring interview that she gave to Vanity Fair because this 0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:38.919 I was like, the only thing I want in my 0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:41.159 life is a young princess Leiah show. How will we 0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:44.040 ever get that if we can't recast? And someone at 0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:47.480 Lucasfilm was like, ha ha, well here you go. 0:20:47.760 --> 0:20:48.320 I mean. 0:20:49.760 --> 0:20:52.240 This show is so good. Even by this point, which 0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:55.119 you're like fifteen or twenty minutes in, I was like, okay, 0:20:55.160 --> 0:20:57.760 Youwan is a workhourse. He is selling this like this 0:20:57.880 --> 0:21:02.480 is unbelievable. But the moment that we're in Olderan and 0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:08.879 you see these kind of like people dressing a young 0:21:08.960 --> 0:21:13.520 princess in this costuming that is so obviously Layer, I 0:21:13.640 --> 0:21:16.280 was just I immediately like teared up. And then when you 0:21:16.320 --> 0:21:20.119 see this character in this this actress who plays a 0:21:20.240 --> 0:21:24.800 Vivian Lyrah bless, she is like one definitely named after 0:21:25.920 --> 0:21:30.560 h Northern Lights by Philip Pullman, and two like she 0:21:30.760 --> 0:21:37.200 is just so evocative of everything that made Lea so great. 0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:42.480 She has like this aptitude and just gratitude, this sassy 0:21:43.240 --> 0:21:47.000 but chill and also like doesn't give a fuck. Like 0:21:47.080 --> 0:21:50.000 it's it's so good and I can't believe that Disney 0:21:50.080 --> 0:21:53.439 stealthed us once again, but instead of Baby Yoda, this 0:21:53.440 --> 0:21:55.760 time it's Baby Layer and I love it. 0:21:55.840 --> 0:21:58.240 I love it so much. We meet Lea, she's running 0:21:58.280 --> 0:22:02.040 around in the forest. We get what I suspect. I 0:22:02.080 --> 0:22:04.600 think we both suspect are meant to be hints of 0:22:04.640 --> 0:22:08.000 her very instinctively using the Force as she runs around 0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:12.280 at play and later on, despite being directed to not 0:22:13.040 --> 0:22:16.240 run away and go run through the woods again, she 0:22:16.359 --> 0:22:19.520 goes and does it anyway and is waylaid by a 0:22:19.560 --> 0:22:23.720 group of bounty hunters led by Knock Crew aka Flee 0:22:23.760 --> 0:22:27.159 from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. It's quickly real that 0:22:27.240 --> 0:22:32.680 Knockerws Gang was hired by Reva the Inquisitors to rure 0:22:32.760 --> 0:22:36.480 Kenobe out of hiding, which is our first hint that 0:22:36.600 --> 0:22:41.680 Riva is obsessed for whatever reason, with finding Kenoby. Bail 0:22:41.800 --> 0:22:46.040 organa Jimmy Smith's still collecting checks after all these years. 0:22:46.040 --> 0:22:49.159 This guy had not Jimmy. They knew it. They knew it. 0:22:49.880 --> 0:22:53.720 They Jimmy could not look more thrilled. 0:22:53.560 --> 0:22:56.639 To appear unscreened. And yet another Star Wars story. I 0:22:56.680 --> 0:23:00.200 absolutely love it for my guy a heat content X. 0:23:00.280 --> 0:23:02.240 His old friend gets a message as all friend obi Wan, 0:23:02.760 --> 0:23:07.280 saying listen, I need you, I need you. Have to 0:23:07.600 --> 0:23:10.760 You're the only one that I know who can do this. 0:23:11.640 --> 0:23:15.560 Please help me. And Obi Wan, who has spent all 0:23:15.600 --> 0:23:18.919 these years trying to reject his identity as a Jedi 0:23:19.000 --> 0:23:22.600 is connection to the Force, gets on a transport with 0:23:22.760 --> 0:23:27.240 his lightsaber to head off and try and find Princess Lea. 0:23:27.440 --> 0:23:29.359 That brings us Part two. 0:23:29.480 --> 0:23:31.680 And that's like another one of my favorite moments in 0:23:31.720 --> 0:23:34.399 this show that I think really speaks to how these 0:23:34.520 --> 0:23:38.639 Star Wars TV shows are building out the context and 0:23:38.760 --> 0:23:41.720 language of these shows is like, at first, Obi Wan 0:23:42.160 --> 0:23:44.640 tells Bail, He's like, no, no, I've got to look 0:23:44.680 --> 0:23:47.800 after the boy. And Bail says the thing that every 0:23:47.800 --> 0:23:50.680 single person in the universe has been saying for so long. 0:23:50.720 --> 0:23:54.080 It's like the girl matters too, Like she is also 0:23:54.720 --> 0:23:57.959 your responsibility, Like this is an important person. And we 0:23:58.040 --> 0:24:00.639 know that that was something that has always lee, It 0:24:00.640 --> 0:24:02.159 has always been a force to be reckoned with in 0:24:02.240 --> 0:24:07.120 the galaxy. But as we've gotten later in the kind 0:24:07.160 --> 0:24:10.400 of franchise's history and more contemporary, more and more people 0:24:10.440 --> 0:24:12.320 are saying, I want to know more about her, Like 0:24:12.359 --> 0:24:14.760 why wasn't that, Why wasn't she the chosen one? She 0:24:14.880 --> 0:24:16.879 was for sensitive blah blah blah blah blah, And I 0:24:16.960 --> 0:24:19.919 kind of love love that once again, this nod to 0:24:20.000 --> 0:24:22.439 that conversation and it calls Obi Wan out, and you 0:24:22.480 --> 0:24:24.000 know what he does, He does the right thing and 0:24:24.040 --> 0:24:27.600 he gets on that transport and episode two. 0:24:27.480 --> 0:24:31.120 Obi arrives on Dayu, which is an urbanized planet where 0:24:31.240 --> 0:24:35.240 all off world communication and signals are essentially blocked. This 0:24:35.359 --> 0:24:42.120
