Me and actually 334 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 1: Brian ended up doing another show called ZBO three together 335 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: where we were to the hero two of the five 336 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: heroes or whatever. But Taylor got this one, and then 337 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: they brought us back as these other rebel kids when 338 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: he gets locked in. So it all there's like the 339 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: whole you know, there's a whole backstories that we don't 340 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: even know that's in the stories in the production, and 341 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 1: this episode shows one of the backstories that we were 342 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: the other two actors up for Ezra. So it makes 343 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 1: sense that we're the two other kind of kids that 344 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 1: break out of the Empires. 345 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 6: I love that circle perfect. 346 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 5: To quote Darth Vada, the circle is complete, basically, isn't 347 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 5: what you've done with this? So we are doing Season one, 348 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 5: episode six, Breaking Ranks. Original air date November three, twenty fourteen. 349 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 5: I believe, and Jason can fact check on me on this. 350 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 5: I believe seven days after this, the first trailer for 351 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 5: Force Awakens came out or something like that, or maybe 352 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 5: it might might I think so, or something like that. 353 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 5: So something with the Force Awakens was tied to November 354 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,440 Speaker 5: twenty fourteen, or it might be a year off. So Dante, 355 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,679 Speaker 5: I do like a quick little recap, kind of like 356 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 5: how Teskane would do stuff on Clone Wars. But mind's 357 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 5: a little longer, and I don't sound I don't sound 358 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 5: like Tom Kane, but I just sound like me. But 359 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:21,679 Speaker 5: without further I do, I guess. I wait for the 360 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 5: magic words from Vanessa since she's the captain of the 361 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:24,400 Speaker 5: Ghost so she. 362 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 9: Has to Johnny. 363 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: There we go. 364 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 5: So here we go, Season one, episode six, Breaking Ranks. 365 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 5: We get a glimpse of what Stormtrooper School looks like. 366 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 5: Into our surprise, one of the bucketheads and training is Ezra. 367 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 9: No No. Ezra has not joined the Empire. 368 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 5: He's actually undercover, opposing as a storm Trooper cadet under 369 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 5: the alias Dev Morgan and efforts to get information on 370 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 5: an Imperial Kyber Crystal shipment, much like how Ernie Rays 371 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 5: Junior's character would infiltrate the fook claning Partoo sect or 372 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:51,719 Speaker 5: they use great movie, She got to check it out. 373 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 1: By the way, you know a Filipino Taylor the Filipino and. 374 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 5: As Martial Artis remind you that dude is no joke. Meanwhile, 375 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,679 Speaker 5: the rest of the Ghost crew is on standby for 376 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 5: support as Ezra does his mission impossible thing. And even 377 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 5: though Canan clearly comes from the generation of men who 378 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 5: won't openly express their feelings, it's rather obvious he's worried 379 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 5: about his young padawan. While undercover, Ezra deferends two cadets, Jaikel, 380 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 5: who sounds a lot like the character Ben Mercado from 381 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,639 Speaker 5: the Filipino American movie The Debut from the year two thousand. 382 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 5: We'll get into that too. I know it's a deep 383 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,360 Speaker 5: poll and Zia Leonis, who is voiced by a guy 384 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 5: who was once Steve Urkel's neighbor. 385 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: It's true. 386 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 5: Look that up and after getting the needed intel from 387 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 5: Kallus's office, Ezra overhears the commanding officers talking to the 388 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,719 Speaker 5: Inquisitor and decides to stay behind and help his new friends. 389 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,360 Speaker 5: He even goes as far is blaming the Ghost Crew, 390 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 5: saying that their whole help others mentality has rubbed off 391 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 5: of him. It's the kind of projection that Sigmund Furroud 392 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 5: would have a field day with. As Ezra helps his 393 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 5: friends Canaan and Haarah intercept the Imperial shipment of Kyber 394 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 5: Crystal in a suspensi suspenseful high stakes battle, and Hara, 395 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 5: as she often does, comes through in the clutch like 396 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 5: Reggie Miller at Madison Square Garden in the nineties, by 397 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 5: destroying the Kyber Crystal shipment just in time and back 398 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 5: of the storm Trooper Academy, zeb Sabin and Schopper come 399 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 5: to the aid of Ezra and his friends, but in 400 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 5: the shocking move, Zara decignes to stay behind enemy lines, 401 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,440 Speaker 5: but Ezra promises him he'll stay in touch. Zara, now 402 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 5: on his own, must maintain his cover while also answering 403 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 5: to the Inquisitor. Meanwhile, the Ghost Crew assures Ji they'll 404 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,679 Speaker 5: get him to his mother. Well, have to go into hiding, 405 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,479 Speaker 5: and Ezra expresses the Canaan that even though he's been 406 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 5: on his own, he's forgotten what it's like to be 407 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 5: on his own, but he has now embraced the idea 408 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 5: of being part of a team and finds comfort in 409 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 5: the fact that, like the Michael Jackson song, he is 410 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 5: not alone. 411 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 1: Wells, Deep Cuts, Deep Cuts, John. 412 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 5: I knew we're gonna have Asian heavy episodes.

So that's what we're talking about. 665 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 1: So when we say guest star, that means when you 666 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 1: watch the episode and it's whatever, growing pains, But then 667 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 1: there's that one kid that came on the episode is 668 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 1: the bully. He's the guest star of the episode. 669 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 7: Right, dancing yourself up right now? 670 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, up, the guest star of the Show's clarification. I 671 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 1: never thought of that. I know what it sounds like, 672 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 1: but that's not what we're talking about. But as far 673 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 1: as advice goes, yeah, you know, when you come on 674 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 1: a show and you're guesting, it's daunting because you're the 675 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 1: thing about every show is it's a little families, right, 676 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: it's a little families, and you're coming in to hang 677 00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 1: out with that family and you feel like an outsider 678 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: looking in, and uh, that's kind of like the whole gig. 679 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:06,959 Speaker 1: But you gotta you know, you got to remember they 680 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 1: hired you for a reason. There's a role that you're 681 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 1: playing that's very essential for whatever's going on, and uh, 682 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 1: everyone wants to see you succeed. Mora, you know what 683 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 1: I'm saying. I mean there's stories obviously shows were like, 684 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: I don't think the person wants me wants me to 685 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 1: get fired, but more or less like the people that 686 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 1: hired you because they want you to succeed in this 687 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: role and there's something pivotal that you're supposed to be 688 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 1: doing that's gonna help their characters in the story that 689 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 1: they're doing ultimately. Right that being said, it's daunting. It's 690 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: it's we we've all been on shows and we're like, 691 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 1: don't have the full character yet.

Like hey, you guys, like I know, 1011 00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:38,640 Speaker 1: we're always saying we're discriminating at this or this and that, 1012 00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:41,200 Speaker 1: but you gotta see what you scale too. And comic 1013 00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:42,880 Speaker 1: Con was one of those places where when you go 1014 00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:46,839 Speaker 1: to Santa Comic Con, I'm like, you go, look at 1015 00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:49,319 Speaker 1: the signs and Sante A Comic Con, which is the 1016 00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:51,520 Speaker 1: mecca of all comic cons, right, and it says that 1017 00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:55,720 Speaker 1: the biggest convention for the modern arts, the biggest convention 1018 00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:57,640 Speaker 1: for the modern arts in the world, and everyone at 1019 00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:03,120 Speaker 1: Comic Con h they kind of everyone respects Asian culture 1020 00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:07,239 Speaker 1: in a way that it's the actually only community that 1021 00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:11,759 Speaker 1: I can think of popular community where being Asian is 1022 00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:15,400 Speaker 1: more sought after than anything. So if you look at 1023 00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:17,279 Speaker 1: the hip hop community or sports community, everyone's being a 1024 00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:21,400 Speaker 1: little more African American. If you look at arian communities, 1025 00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:23,759 Speaker 1: everyone's kind of whether you're a black, white, or other, 1026 00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:28,400 Speaker 1: you're leaning more European, white dressing everything. Right, you go 1027 00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:33,200 Speaker 1: to a comic con, an anime con, whether you're black, white, Asian, Latino, 1028 00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:39,000 Speaker 1: everyone's speaking some Japanese or Korean, everyone's kowhi every it's 1029 00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:43,600 Speaker 1: the the Asian this is everyone's leaning more Asian. And 1030 00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:47,200 Speaker 1: it's like there's something there and it's fascinating and it's interesting, 1031 00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:50,480 Speaker 1: and you're seeing how cultures interacting in different places and 1032 00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:54,040 Speaker 1: within this fandom world. And I guess it goes back 1033 00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:58,040 Speaker 1: as far as Star Wars earlier, where George, you know, 1034 00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:02,880 Speaker 1: it's like they're leaning into Asian art. Essentially, of the 1035 00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:06,279 Speaker 1: modern arts, there's so many masters that we all look 1036 00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:08,960 Speaker 1: to and we're all inspired by, and it's just kind 1037 00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:11,759 Speaker 1: of coming out in other ways how they express it 1038 00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:15,239 Speaker 1: through their experiences. But there's a lot of the source 1039 00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:19,440 Speaker 1: stuff is coming from Asian masters, which is a phenomenon. 1040 00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:21,560 Speaker 5: I don't know what I have to follow that. I mean, 1041 00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:23,120 Speaker 5: I know we were supposed to go over an episode 1042 00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:26,000 Speaker 5: today it was this. I was so like, I love 1043 00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:28,120 Speaker 5: these insights and the stories you offer telling and I 1044 00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:30,359 Speaker 5: feel like you took me back to twenty thirteen when 1045 00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:31,799 Speaker 5: you recorded it, Like I felt like I was in 1046 00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:34,319 Speaker 5: the booth with you, and you're a great story. Will 1047 00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:35,960 Speaker 5: you come back, Dante, Like I feel like we can 1048 00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:39,640 Speaker 5: do we can do a whole Asian centered like bonus episode, 1049 00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:41,279 Speaker 5: because we're planning to do bonus episodes in the. 1050 00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:43,879 Speaker 1: Podcast that and I think I love that. And look, 1051 00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:46,319 Speaker 1: we didn't know we're Asian, like coming to Hollywood. I 1052 00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:49,839 Speaker 1: came in like eighty forty five, didn't no, well, we 1053 00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:51,520 Speaker 1: didn't know one knew what the heck guy was. I 1054 00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:53,319 Speaker 1: didn't know. You're too young. You don't even know what 1055 00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:54,960 Speaker 1: you are and I'm ten years old. Like you have 1056 00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,360 Speaker 1: no identity, you know, there's no you don't even have 1057 00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:00,560 Speaker 1: identity yet. You just my Danny was like, I'm a dancer, 1058 00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:03,480 Speaker 1: So like when it's an audition, it was time for 1059 00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:05,080 Speaker 1: me to come and it's like going in the middle 1060 00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:07,800 Speaker 1: of the circle and doing your thing, you know what 1061 00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:11,600 Speaker 1: I'm saying. But later on, as life started going on, 1062 00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:14,480 Speaker 1: I didn't realize that you start to do roles and 1063 00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:17,080 Speaker 1: people start seeing themselves in some of the roles you're doing. 1064 00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:20,439 Speaker 1: In the eighties, you know, I remember talking to people, 1065 00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:21,640 Speaker 1: I was like, wow, you know what's crazy. It is 1066 00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:24,080 Speaker 1: like when I did a role and it has something 1067 00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:25,960 Speaker 1: like you're doing a guest star or you're doing some 1068 00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:30,600 Speaker 1: kind of role that is significant for people, especially in America, 1069 00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:33,719 Speaker 1: it would be one of a handful of roles that 1070 00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:36,719 Speaker 1: they would see an Asian person do in their lifetime, 1071 00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:38,880 Speaker 1: and they if they did not live by any age, 1072 00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:41,120 Speaker 1: people especially at that time, it's like, oh, that's one 1073 00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:45,920 Speaker 1: of the five Asian people I've ever seen do anything 1074 00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,919 Speaker 1: significant that has made me think or touch or think 1075 00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:51,480 Speaker 1: of them. Right, It's like you and long duck dung, 1076 00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:54,600 Speaker 1: and you go like it or not. People are going 1077 00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:59,640 Speaker 1: to make assumptions and think about full on, you know, 1078 00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:03,279 Speaker 1: full on race or culture based on one of the 1079 00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:06,720 Speaker 1: five things that they've experienced thus far. In their life 1080 00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:09,600 Speaker 1: of whatever they're seeing and so not that that was 1081 00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:11,480 Speaker 1: going I didn't let I don't want that to be 1082 00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:14,759 Speaker 1: a something that ruled me. But that's something that you 1083 00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:16,520 Speaker 1: had to think about as an artist, like, Okay, do 1084 00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:18,239 Speaker 1: I want to do this, Dude? Do I want this 1085 00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:20,600 Speaker 1: to be one of the five things, the one of 1086 00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:23,799 Speaker 1: ten things. Great that now things have changed is like 1087 00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:26,600 Speaker 1: a broader scope of people seeing. But especially in the 1088 00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:30,480 Speaker 1: eighties early nineties, I was one of maybe five or 1089 00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:34,200 Speaker 1: ten Asian characters that they may have seen their whole lives. 1090 00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:36,839 Speaker 1: It's part of it. But it's great to know now 1091 00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:39,640 Speaker 1: that it was we were more than just what they saw. 1092 00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:41,680 Speaker 1: There was the essence of what was going on has 1093 00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:44,960 Speaker 1: always been around and we're able to kind of feel 1094 00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,040 Speaker 1: that more, experience that more and see And I love 1095 00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:48,680 Speaker 1: that that we're part of the nerds because the nerd 1096 00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:53,719 Speaker 1: scene investigates and knows and you know, talks about it. 1097 00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:56,360 Speaker 1: It's a part of it. So it's it's important. I 1098 00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:57,800 Speaker 1: don't know, we can talk about it all day, John, we 1099 00:52:57,800 --> 00:52:58,440 Speaker 1: talked about. 1100 00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:02,279 Speaker 5: All yeah, we will. We will definitely do like some 1101 00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:05,600 Speaker 5: bonus episodes on that. But so now in the subject 1102 00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:07,480 Speaker 5: of investigating. I feel like that's a nice segu way 1103 00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:10,440 Speaker 5: to JC, even though we were light on episode specifics. 1104 00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:13,080 Speaker 5: I feel like you're going about to see Jc's always 1105 00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:15,000 Speaker 5: got some great. 1106 00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:17,400 Speaker 6: Highlight of the podcast. He probably it was some deep, 1107 00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:19,640 Speaker 6: deep dives. We didn't give him too much to investigate. 1108 00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:24,960 Speaker 10: But all right, yeah, I don't have a lot. The 1109 00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:27,480 Speaker 10: first thing I want to do, John, Earlier in the episode, 1110 00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:30,240 Speaker 10: you made a reference to Darth Vader's line, the circle 1111 00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:33,560 Speaker 10: is complete, actual line, The circle is now complete. 1112 00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:34,520 Speaker 9: Okay. 1113 00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:37,040 Speaker 10: I just want to make sure that nobody who has 1114 00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:39,640 Speaker 10: the movies memorized like I do is offended by that. 1115 00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:42,640 Speaker 5: No, because they will add at me before that. So 1116 00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:44,319 Speaker 5: I think, good looking out. I appreciate it. 1117 00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:48,279 Speaker 10: You mentioned November twenty fourteen, there is something big with 1118 00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:53,520 Speaker 10: Force Awakens. In November twenty fourteen, November sixth, they announced 1119 00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:57,560 Speaker 10: the title would be The Force Awakens. I just want 1120 00:53:57,600 --> 00:53:59,839 Speaker 10: to clear up. Look, if you've gone this far, I'm 1121 00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:02,640 Speaker 10: sure we've already googled it. When we are talking with 1122 00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:05,920 Speaker 10: Dante about Avatar, we are not talking about James Cameron 1123 00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:08,319 Speaker 10: and the Way of Water. We're talking about the last 1124 00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:14,680 Speaker 10: Vender cartoon. So there's that mentioned Sagerera. Sagerera does voice 1125 00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:19,279 Speaker 10: Forest Whittaker does voice Sagerera. We saw him first in 1126 00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:23,279 Speaker 10: Rogue one, and then he does Star Wars Rebels as 1127 00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:26,760 Speaker 10: well episodes Ghosts of Geonosis, which is season three episodes 1128 00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:30,279 Speaker 10: twelve and thirteen, and in season four episodes three and 1129 00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:34,800 Speaker 10: four called in the Name of Rebellion.
