14
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 2: What's it taste like?

15
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: It tastes like vanilla milk, okay, whitely sweet milk.

16
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 2: Okay.

17
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: There's a splash of remit there.

18
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 2: Put any alcohol in it, so I've had.

19
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: A little bit of rem So for those who don't know,

20
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: blue milk is kind of the iconic milk that you

21
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: see throughout the series. You see it first in a

22
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: New Hope when Lucas drinking it. It's available at the

23
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: Disney theme parks, where it's not milk. Actually, but this,

24
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: from what I've read, is the first time you've ever

25
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 1: been able to buy it in grocery stores. It's limited

26
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: time promotion, and I couldn't find it anywhere, and I

27
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: was like, oh no, and yes I am a sucker.

28
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: I can hear all of you rolling your eyes, and

29
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: that's fair. But I was like, blue milk, I've got

30
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: to get it. I also got Yeah, I got I

31
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: got some Star Wars hot sauce too.

32
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 2: But what is that? What is that?

33
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: Well, I haven't gotten it yet, but it has ghost

34
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: pet for it. It's gonna kick. I can't wait. It's

35
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: got Darth Vader's helmet on it, and I personally love

36
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: I think I might write a fan fiction about this,

37
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 1: because I'm deciding what my fan fiction will be that

38
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: I post on Star Wars Day, May the fourth, okay,

39
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: And I think there could be a fun opportunity of

40
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: Darth Vader realizing how much merchandise has his face on it. Ah,

41
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: because it's just his helmet. Yeah, I think there's a

42
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: lot you'd be angry about.

43
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 2: But I think he's upset.

44
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: I think he'll be.

45
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 2: Because he didn't capitalize on it.

46
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: I think he'll be upset because they're not respecting him.

47
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 2: How dare you make me a bubblehead type.

48
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: Or he's like a waffle iron. There's yes tissue paper

49
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: like it's true, so there's a lot. I think something

50
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: like dot toy, a dog toy. Yeah, I got one.

51
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: It's pas.

52
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 2: She loves yes, takes the cape and just sling.

53
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: I think this is great. I think this is a

54
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: good idea. I think this is what I'm going to

55
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: go with because I wanted something kind of lighter for

56
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: this one. But anyway, I couldn't find the blue milk.

57
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: And my good friend friend of the show, Katie found

58
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: it for me. Of course, she cured it for me,

59
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: brought it. We tried it this weekend.

60
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: She's a wizard. Yes, she finds things.

61
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: She finds the thing I did. I was like, I

62
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: knew she would be the one, and I said, can

63
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: you please keep an eye out? And like a day later,

64
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: she said, I found it And there was even a

65
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: website you could go on and like search it out,

66
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: and it wasn't showing up on anywhere near me, but

67
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: she found it. Anyway, She and I and another friend

68
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: tried it this weekend and we tried it with a

69
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: bunch of different things, and we made up a bunch

70
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: of different drinks. So it's been fun. It's been fun.

71
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 2: I still a Kurt's thinking about that.

72
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: Well. The other funny part of it is somehow my

73
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: friend got I won't say co worse, but basically a

74
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: sweet shop owner talked her into buying banana frum and

75
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: we've been trying to we've been trying to use this

76
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: and so we were trying to come up with drinks

77
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: with that. I yeah, I'm like a one and done

78
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: with this.

79
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, she told me about this. She's like, I

80
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 2: don't even to bring it to you because you can

81
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: make cocktails. Like I don't know if I can save that.

82
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: Yes, because she texted me and she was asking me, like,

83
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: what can I do with this? And I said, I

84
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: don't know. That's the first I've heard of this. But anyway,

85
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: it is very nice. But yes, it is a one

86
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: and done for me. But I'm happy I found it.

87
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: And I've seen a lot of people experimenting with it,

88
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: like making pancakes with it and stuff like that. So

89
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: that's cool. For today, Yes, we are talking about Star Wars,

90
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: and I love how many people have been contacting me

91
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: about my thoughts on the prequel trilogy because the Phantom

92
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 1: Menace is going to be back in theaters. I also

93
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: have a fun project on Savor other podcasts we do

94
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: where we're talking about popcorn buckets, and there's very elaborate

95
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: popcorn buckets for Star Wars. I have to say, I

96
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: didn't realize, and it's one of those things where I'm

97
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: kind of stressed out because I sort of just planning

98
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 1: on like watching Star Wars and eating food Star Wars

99
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: and food and drinking Star Wars seem drinks. But I'm

100
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: happy people want to hang out. I'm glad. I'm glad

101
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: people are celebrating it. But I don't know what I'm

102
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: gonna do yet. However, So today I did want to

103
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: talk about something. This is actually an article I found

104
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: a couple of months ago, and it's called eleven things

105
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: we Know about George Lucas's unused Star Wars sequel chilogy scripts.

106
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: And this is from screen Rants by Liz Declin. This

107
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: has been circulating around for a while, like these ideas have.

108
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: I want to say at the front that this doesn't

109
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: necessarily I don't want this to sound like I'm saying

110
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: equal trilogy sexist would have been better. I think that

111
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: in a very strange way that I wasn't anticipating the

112
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: Disney ones are much sadder than whats, but I didn't

113
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: want to go over it just because it does. It

114
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: did make me kind of sad because I was like, oh,

115
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: that would have been so much nicer, Like that's like

116
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: a happier ending.

117
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like there's a flip of times

118
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 2: where we'll get things that are all happy endings and

119
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 2: then they're like, no, now we have to twist it.

120
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 2: Everything has to be really really sad. And it's just

121
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 2: like a genre bending where they're like, all right, we're

122
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 2: gonna switch it up now, and if one person does it,

123
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 2: everybody's got yep, we gotta do that too.

124
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: I think you're right, And I know I've talked about

125
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 1: this before, but I'm honestly fascinated with this thing that

126
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,239
Speaker 1: I've seen happen in a lot of franchises where somebody

127
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: who grew up watching like the original trilogy in this case,

128
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: loved it, they get the chance to direct one and

129
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: they make it so much sadder, and it's usually like

130
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: the people from the original trilogy have given up. I

131
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: was like, it's like it's like you get older and

132
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: you're like, I'm done with this optimism.

133
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 2: Everything is awful. I'm in pain for are you?

134
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: Yes, it's fascinating to me. Like Star Wars is not

135
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: the only thing. I have a lot of examples of

136
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: people franchises where that has happened. So I just wanted

137
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: to go over some of the big ones that the

138
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: big points in this article that I was like, ah,

139
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: and a lot of them, if you're like this not feminism,

140
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: a lot of them are about Leyah. Oh bumps me

141
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: out because you know, I love Leiah. No, But originally

142
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: Leia was going to be the main character of the

143
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: sequel trilogy. She was going to be revealed as the

144
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: Chosen One, which, if you don't know, this is a

145
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: very convoluted and controversial and much argued idea in Star

146
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: Wars about who's a Chosen One. Usually it's either you

147
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: think it was Anakin Darth Vader or you think it

148
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: was Luke. In the sequel trilogy, it would have been

149
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: really revealed to be Leyah. It's so cool, Oh my gosh.

150
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: The Chosen One is supposed to bring balance to the

151
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: force and the like. The whole idea why people get

152
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: so like, why they like to fight about it is

153
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: people like to fight about what balance means because Luke

154
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: is sort of your light side, darth Vader's sort of

155
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: your dark side, so she I think this is such

156
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: a cool idea, like if it had been revealed, and

157
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 1: also because Leah understandably has a lot of hang ups

158
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: around the Force. She's afraid of it, She's afraid of

159
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: what she's seen it do, She's afraid of darth Vader.

160
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: She doesn't like darth Vader, like accepting any of that.

161
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: That would have been such a great like emotional arc,

162
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: or it could have been if they handled it correctly.

163
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: But yeah, like that could have been like a really

164
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: cool having her come to terms with that, that would

165
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: have been really neat. She was also going to become

166
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: the leader of the New Republic, which is also pretty

167
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: cool because that would follow in like the footsteps of

168
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: Bail Organa, who is her adoptive father, and Padme Amdala,

169
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: which is her biological mother. And also she was just

170
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: a great leader. But so many things that we saw

171
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: in the Disney sequel trilogy didn't work, which is what

172
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: I mean is the New Republic didn't work, like the

173
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: Jedi Order didn't work. Like these things didn't work, And

174
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: I think that. You know, that's an interesting storyline, sad one,

175
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: but it is interesting. A lot of things in this

176
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: version would have worked better. Like it's not like it

177
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: would have been easy, but her New Republic would have

178
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: succeeded as opposed to the New Republican the sequel trilogy,

179
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: which kind of collapsed pretty soon. I guess I should

180
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: say spoiler alert, but I feel like people know about

181
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: this stuff. Ten years is the rule. Twenty nineteen was

182
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: the Rise of Skywalker. Well, sorry, uh, another thing, and

183
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 1: I just have to fit this in here because like Skywalker's,

184
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: like my fave, his Jedi Temple would never have fallen apart.

185
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: He would have made some changes and it would have

186
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: and it would It would have had trouble, but it

187
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: would have worked out. It would have been destroyed also

188
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: very quickly. Also, that would have been nice. That would

189
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: have been nice. The main and was gonna be Darth Maul,

190
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: who was introduced in the Phantom Menace, and you can

191
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: see hints of that and a lot of the like

192
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: the Solo movie and in some of the animated stuff

193
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: that he was meant to have a much bigger role.

194
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: This also entails that his apprentice, who was a very

195
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: sexualized version of Darth Maule was gonna be in there.

196
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: She hasn't shown up yet in Disney Cannon, but I

197
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 1: bet she will. I don't know how people will feel

198
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: about it. Yeah, and then more Jedi would have survived.

199
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 1: That would have been nice.

200
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 2: No murder of children, that would have been lovely.

201
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, the prequels already did that. Why'd we have to

202
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: do that again? Yeah? Yes, Sleigh would have been the

203
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 1: leader of this. She would have been a mentor to

204
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 1: a lot of people. And yeah, I just really likes

205
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: that she would have been such a vocal point of it. Again, like,

206
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: this is ideas that I get why they didn't do them,

207
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: for logistical reasons, technological technological reasons, and also that this

208
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: sounding good on paper doesn't mean it would have worked.

209
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: We've seen that before, so I want to make that

210
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: very clear. But when I was reading, I was like,

211
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, this sounds so much nicer. This sounds

212
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: so much nicer. And I did want to also mention

213
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: I was reading last night as I want to do

214
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: another article. I sort of love the ongoing debates that happen.

215
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: The pain of my existence is something I also love.

216
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: Both are true about certain things in Star Wars. One

217
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: of the big things that we have talked about before

218
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: in our prequel episode that we did, but also in

219
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: episode where I've talked about Padme, this is the controversy

220
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: around Padme's death and what it meant. There is a

221
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: popular it's not really a meme, but there's something pops

222
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: circulating around social media right now that's like how we

223
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: remember Padme. She died broken heart, and then on the

224
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: other side of the chart, it's like everything she did

225
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: and she did all this amazing stuff. So I like

226
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: that her character is sort of getting some recognition. But

227
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: one of the big things people often talk about is

228
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: her death, like did the Emperor cause it? Did she

229
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: die of a broken heart? Did Anakin kind of slowly

230
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: kill her accidentally via choking so that wasn't accidental, But

231
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: did she die from the fallout of that? One of

232
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: the things I've never heard this before, but we did

233
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: talk about it briefly. There was kind of a scrapped

234
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: idea that about the impact of having a force sensitive

235
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: child would have on someone who's pregnant. Would they then

236
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: like have some temporary force abilities or something like that,

237
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: And especially if it's somebody if it's twins and they're

238
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: the grand shill the Force, And yes, I know some

239
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,319
Speaker 1: of you don't have any idea what I'm talking about,

240
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: but literally the Force, then what would happen? And that

241
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: whole idea got scrapped, but people are still talking about it.

242
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: And one of the things I've never thought about this before,

243
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: but in Revenge of the Sith, there's the scene where

244
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: Darth Vader Anakin has been burned, and this is after

245
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: he's left. He choked his wife and she disappeared. He

246
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: has this fight with Obi Wan left for dead burns.

247
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: Emperor comes puts him in suit. The first thing it's

248
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: infamous scene Darth Vader comes up, very evocative of Frankenstein,

249
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: and he asked the Emperor, where's padme? She's safe? An

250
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: Emperor says, it seems and you're angered or Vader you've

251
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: killed her? And then Vader's like, no, I that can't be.

252
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: I felter, No, it's infamous. You know what I'm talking

253
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: about anyway, But this article, apparently there's a popular theory

254
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: going around that was talking about like, well, what did

255
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: he mean when he was saying, like I felt, what

256
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: does that mean? Because she died when he would be

257
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: out in surgery. So does that mean he felt her

258
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: when he woke up when in which time she was

259
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: already dead. So the theory is that he was actually

260
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: feeling Luke and Leah and because they were so connected

261
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: to her presence, and that's why he never sensed them

262
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: because he assumed this was some weird force punishment guilt

263
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: thing because he was feeling them then and he thought

264
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: it was padme and he just never got over that,

265
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: which I thought was really fascinating. The article's really good

266
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: if you want to look it up. This is also

267
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: from screenrants because it makes it like a because a

268
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: lot of people are rightfully bad about how they died.

269
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: It's a painful. See she's not really given like that

270
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: much space. She just sort of dies. But this makes sense. Yeah.

271
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 2: Personal on the other is like why did she die?

272
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't understand.

273
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: Well, And I feel like they've changed that a lot

274
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: from like it's supposed to be the Emperor killed her,

275
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: like drained her essence, but it's never made clear Like

276
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: I always assumed when I was a kid that she

277
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: just died.

278
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 2: Well, this is childbirth that she died in childbirth because

279
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 2: she's there, Well that's.

280
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: The medical Jerid was like, she's also will to live.

281
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, so its heart break was the other conversation.

282
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: Yes, so I think the Emperor Palpatine thing is the

283
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: accepted like he was draining her because so many people

284
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: are like she would not. Her last words were literally,

285
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: they're still good in him. I know it. I felt

286
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: it as.

287
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 2: Well as the fact that she just had children.

288
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: She just had kids. So in this article they make

289
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: the point like it's she still died in this way.

290
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: That was very upsetting. But it's possible that in her

291
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: death she departed this protection to Luke and Leab that

292
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: allowed them to grow up and to destroy the Emperor,

293
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 1: which I think is a nice a nice take on it.

294
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, so many things with Star

295
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: Wars are like retcond all the time. Who knows what

296
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: the original idea or thought was. That has been one

297
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 1: of consternation from any fans forever of how did Darth

298
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:45,479
Speaker 1: Vader not feel like Luke and Lamb like you can

299
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: only that only goes to a certain distance. But he

300
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: was around Leah But this, I mean, who knows, who knows?

301
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 1: But I thought that was a nice theory. When I

302
00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 1: read it, I was like, Okay, I am glad is

303
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: getting more of her due. I'm glad people are revisiting

304
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: her character and I love the the thing I was

305
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: talking about, like on the things that she did, one

306
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,959
Speaker 1: of them was like resisted her husband, fought against her

307
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 1: husband for the beliefs that she held, and I was like,

308
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: yes she did. Anyway, if you celebrate May the fourth,

309
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,719
Speaker 1: May the fourth Day with you cheer, let me know
