[00:00:00] On this episode of Bantha Milk Podcast, we talk about the red wedding! Oh that. So I just thought of something, we could do this. For the people who are listening in their car, you need to watch it on YouTube.
[00:00:34] If I start the worm on this side and then you gotta follow through on the other side. But if that was on the stream, we're up and down. Are we reversed or up and down? So like, I'd have to kinda hand it up to you.
[00:00:44] There you go, and I'd have to pull it down. Yeah, there we go. Anyway, so that is a very visual joke to start us off for this podcast. We are Bantha Milk Podcast. We are Bantha Milk Podcast. That's Rob, Nick. Rob's beard is starting to grow back again.
[00:00:59] Yeah I have achieved. You're looking showered. It's summertime. Summer, summer, summer. And you just got back from a volleyball game. Yeah, well kind of. There was a lot of standing around. There's not a lot of... Except for being out in the sun. Yeah, but it was a pretty...
[00:01:17] And the heat. It wasn't a lot of a day there. So sweating a little bit there. But anyway, what I... Pretty temperate as far as climate today. That's right. Anyway, so yeah, we are back for another episode. You might have caught our doom and gloom podcast last time.
[00:01:31] We talked about how terrible some of the acolyte has been thus far. And again, we like to fancy ourselves some of the lesser salty podcasts. Right, we're friendlier. It's like the general consensus has shifted on the momentum on the acolyte once the new episode has dropped.
[00:01:53] So we've got some stuff to talk about that. Yes. So we're ready to go. I think Rob, you found one last beer from our dear friend who sent us these delights, right? Yes.
[00:02:03] And I don't remember if we drank this one already and he might have sent us two. Nope, he only sent us one stout. Darkside imperial stout from Adam. One bottle labeled stout. So I have that because it's darkside. Well, I'm... I'll take a minute here.
[00:02:18] We have enjoyed going through each of these beers over the past couple episodes. Thank you for sending these our way. Yes, thank you Adam. As a self-confess not enormous beer drinker, right? I like beer, but it's not my favorite drink. Right.
[00:02:31] I found something to enjoy in all of these beers. So nice job, man. Yes, nice job. Keep on brewing. So now stout is a darker beer it's supposed to be. That's what they say. Okay, nice. It was pretty solid crack right there. Mmm, smells good. Yeah, smells good.
[00:02:46] What are the hints? Give me a beer aficionado is run down. So stout is normally like almost like a coffee-ish. Okay, sure. Did you just... You went for a... I went... I don't know why. Like I've tried to go really... I don't know.
[00:02:59] Is the muscle members a healthy thing, man? Yeah, I'm getting some coffee. All right, all right. At the end there. Let's see how dark it is. Oh, yes. Oh yeah, like licorice. I don't know why I said it like that, but here we are.
[00:03:10] Yeah, licorice is another good flavor with the stout as well. I figured it was. Yeah. That's nice, man. Nice. That's dark. That's dark as the night. That is dark. This is... Oh my gosh, this is almost black. It's so dark. Yeah, man. Really, really good.
[00:03:25] That looks like a beautiful... All right. What's the smell profile? Just delicious. Just delicious. Yeah, you get hints of delicious. I'm getting hints of delicious. Yeah. Hints of savory deliciousness. I think I smell some licorice. Some... Not really very much coffee. More licorice.
[00:03:44] Well, why don't you put some on your taste buds and then we can... I don't think anyone needed that. I don't think anyone needed that. I guess I'm hard. Nobody wanted to hear that. I think YouTube just shut down our channel. They did. Oh my gosh.
[00:03:57] Yeah, tell me about it. Black licorice. Do you like black licorice? I'm not a big licorice fan. This tastes just like black licorice. It's so good. Oh my gosh, this is really, really good, Adam. I'm a huge fan of this one. I will give you that, yes.
[00:04:09] All right, Rob is a fan. When you finish your whiskey that you have over there, if you want to taste some black licorice and a beer, this is delicious. I'll let you know. I'm willing to try anything. I've never been much for licorice. Are you...
[00:04:24] Now here's a question now that we're talking about. Are you a Twizzlers or a Red Vines family? Twizzlers. Yeah, I figured. Red Vines are weird. Red Vines are weird. Are Red Vines like all the little skinny ones that are wrapped together? Yeah.
[00:04:36] So they were fun when I was little at the pool. I remember going to the pool and I remember that's all they had, but I remember peeling them apart and then eating like one at a time. Yeah, yeah.
[00:04:47] And this is a conversation I have no horse in this, no dog in this race because I'm not a big candy fan. Okay. I love chocolate, but I'm not big on sweet treats like candy sort of stuff. Sure. So, you know, Twizzlers even, I'm like, oh good. Twizzlers.
[00:05:03] And miraculously last week we had the Star Wars Oreos. We did and I still have some in my house somehow. I don't know how because the whole bag of blue ones disappeared the next day. Oh. Not even by me. Oh really? Like I would admit to it.
[00:05:21] Would you? I was taking two or three at a time, but I went back for more, all gone. And then two days later the red ones disappeared also. Okay. So who is it? And I know it's not the wife. Okay. It's the wee ones. Yeah.
[00:05:35] And one of the wee ones isn't even here. So it's a wee one. So there's a wee one that it was and she, so we bought two more boxes of them. He's found them at, couldn't find them at Walmart, but then found them at Shop Right.
[00:05:50] So I was like, oh, here's two more. Yeah. Gone. So the Star Wars Oreos. I think normal Oreos I can pound like a sleeve in a sitting and I wish I were exaggerating. Oh, no, I know.
[00:06:02] But I think what keeps me from like binge eating these is that kyber crystal thing in the middle. The little sugar. It's just a little sweet for me. So like I like it, but like I can't really eat more than one or two at a time.
[00:06:15] Speaking of sweet, we went to Duncan today and I got the Kiwi Watermelon Refreshers. How was that? Very Kiwi. Okay. Not a lot of watermelon. Was it refreshing? And way too sweet. Yeah.
[00:06:31] Well, and see that's my problem with any of those things anymore is like I can't do the sweet drinks thing. Yeah. Yeah. Way, way too sweet. I was like, I got, and I wanted to, I was hot.
[00:06:40] So I wanted to drink a lot of it, like or drink it fast, I guess, whatever. And like my stomach hurt. It was so, so sweet. I was like, oh, too much. Yeah. I like the idea of those drinks.
[00:06:50] Like I'll have like the strawberry apple go go go Gurgle. Gogo squeeze. Oh, go go squeezes. Okay. Gogo squeeze to me is like a refreshing drink. That's as much of a sweet drink as I get. I know everyone listening wants to hear about our Gogo squeeze.
[00:07:03] Yeah, they definitely want to hear what our favorite drinks are. If you have a favorite go go squeeze, please send your query. Send an interesting email our way to www.BantherMilkPodcast.Gmail.com. Let's move on, shall we? Let's move on.
[00:07:16] Let's, I haven't had to sip my whiskey yet. Oh yeah, have a sip of your whiskey. And then, oh, over here right there is the blue milk container, which- Have you done your work on it? I painted the inside, yeah. It does look pretty good over there actually.
[00:07:31] Yeah, that's nice and hidden over there, but it looks, yeah. So there we go. So Gail's saying that the refreshers are better with coconut milk in their opinion. Oh. Down in the comments there.
[00:07:41] So yeah, my wife has talked about the refreshers at Wawa before too, then liked some of them. So I don't know. There's so many options I feel like now. Yeah, there's so many options. Anywho. Thank you, Wawa. Thank you. For existing.
[00:07:55] So the rest of our social means I have to, I have a bone to pick with the Supreme Resort boys. Pick that bone. So at the end of their last episode, the case of Disney Parks Tour Part 1, which was a two hour and 16 minute episode. Good for them.
[00:08:11] It was good. I enjoyed it. I listened all the way through. They throw their social means all the way at the end. That's that way they think we won't catch them. Right. So they did throw us a shout out. They were, they were very nice and they asked.
[00:08:23] But. Dan, if, if anybody put water out by our trailer recently. Not recently. No, we were out here and it's hot. No. And metal horse. Someone left like a whole bucket of milk out there. Right. Just sitting out there. It curded in everything. Yeah. It was.
[00:08:43] I mean, I'm not the chunky lemon was really good. So thank you for that. Yeah. So thanks guys for thinking about us and forgetting to turn blue and Rob, Rob put some of it on his mantle behind him over there.
[00:08:55] But the Supreme Resort, good show like it, scraping the vault puny pod where they said they talk about small people. I love it. And of course, the main, the main years up and what did Dan say with less in depth now because they got rid of that show.
[00:09:12] So it was pretty funny. So check out all the other shows here on the Supreme Resort on the, on the. The years up a sphere. Years up a sphere. The years up broadcasting network or something like that. Years up multiverse, right? Multiverse.
[00:09:27] Now it's all about the cinematic universes. Yeah. The years up cinematic universe. Yes, that's what we're on. We want to specify this timeline before we get into the multiverse timeline, which by the way, I can't wait for Wolverine and Deadpool, but they are talking.
[00:09:41] They are say something about like this Wolverine. So apparently it's like a multiverse thing. Yeah, they're doing a multiverse thing. And I'm annoyed too, because I it's on me at this point. I haven't seen Logan yet and all I've heard about Logan is that it's incredible. OK, yeah.
[00:09:57] So I think part of the reason why they were they didn't want to bring that character back is because they gave him such a beautiful ending. Yeah. And anyway, he was like older in that one also.
[00:10:09] And so I'm sure this is their way of trying to do that and and like not damage what they already did. Right. The great thing about Deadpool is they can just do it in a ridiculous way and make fun of it. Yeah, and that's fine.
[00:10:19] And they make fun of it in the middle of it. Like literally not like like literally be like that is that is the stupidest way we could have possibly put you in this movie. Right. Let's go. All right.
[00:10:29] Let's go. And we just did that because that's how stupid we are. And it'll be great. And it'll be awesome. And I really enjoyed Deadpool. All right. Let's get some news up here real fast. I'm actually happy this Google alerts about Star Wars is much better
[00:10:48] than last week's were as well as just do my good. Lloyd Stinks, Star Wars fans just realizing Darth Plegas was an episode one and we all missed it. OK, I don't even want to open up this because I have a feeling this is all just
[00:11:02] I am sure that's Malarkey. Yeah. Pieces by Damon Gible. Who? Game and Gible. Like gaming but like with the apostrophe energy. A. M. I. N. Gible. Game and Gible. Game and Gible. Old gaming Gible coming to town to talk to us about.
[00:11:17] And then there's another one right next to it that says Mace Windows fate was quietly confirmed and we all missed it also by gaming Gible. I think in gaming Gimbal is a bit of a gaming moron. Yes. So this one screen rant. I like these guys.
[00:11:31] Ten ways Star Wars would have changed if Padme was a Jedi to interesting, interesting. So do we want to find out how? Sure. Sure. Let's find out. So Padme should have been a Jedi. Here are the ten ways Anakin and Padme may have never been married.
[00:11:49] Sure. Sure. Sure. Number nine Naboo might have fallen to the Neum. Neumotions. Neumotions without Padme as queen. Probably. Probably. Padme would have sought Yoda's guidance. OK. Padme could have sensed the growing darkness in Anakin. I don't. I mean he basically spelled it out to her as it was.
[00:12:12] Like I think she kind of got the hint. Yeah. You know, she is not like it was it was a secret to her. She early on he was like, hey, I just murdered a whole tribe of people and the women and the children.
[00:12:24] If only I were a Jedi, I could have sensed this growing darkness within him. Within him. It's weird. I mean, I didn't see it. Honestly, I wasn't a Jedi. Honestly, and we're only halfway through this list.
[00:12:36] But like the way this is going, the next one could be number six. She could have used the force. Number six. Number seven. She could have jumped higher. She jumped away. Just all things that could have happened. Yeah.
[00:12:52] Anakin might have been less afraid of Padme's death if she also had the force. I disagree. Disagree. Padme may have been able to stop Anakin, even if it meant killing him. That could have been an interesting little bit of drama.
[00:13:06] But I think we got that same amount of drama with Obi-Wan. Yes. That was already a more. I have the higher relationship. Yeah, I'm higher than you, so I win. So I win. I think I think it was good with with Obi-Wan. Yeah.
[00:13:20] With the force, Padme may have survived childbirth and raised the twins. No. No. You don't think so? No. Padme would have needed to wait. Palpatine would have needed to kill Padme himself. Himself? No. Padme would have been a much bigger threat as a Jedi.
[00:13:40] You know what were also Jedi were like the three or four red shirts that attacked the Palpatine with Mace Windu that died in the first second of battle. Yeah. And they were like probably pretty. It's not like Mace Windu went to like the like the Padawans.
[00:13:55] I was like, all right, Padawans, let's go round up the sitlum. He brought his homies with him and they were sliced through. So I think Padme would probably still would have been in trouble. Yeah, this one. Luke and Leia would have known that Darth Vader was their father
[00:14:07] and may have and may not have wanted to save him. Why? Why wouldn't they want to save him? I don't know. And finally, Padme could have been the true chosen one. Yeah, it could have been Padme. Now I give this list one out of 100.
[00:14:25] Not a star screen, right? Not happy. I am I am screen. I screen can't with you right now. Yeah. And then the acolyte episode five just gave Star Wars news, Lord, exactly what he wanted also by screen rent. Interesting. We'll talk about that. I don't know, whatever.
[00:14:43] And this one from Inside the Magic, which is total garbage. Sure. OK, I love that. So we're not even or I'm not. But report a soka star. Is it all uppercase? It's not all uppercase report. Colin and then this is in quotes. A soka Star Wars.
[00:15:00] Oh, soka star recast in Star Wars. Yeah, sure. Disney seeking replacement inside the magic. Of course. So here's Ariya Dawson. She's not a bankable star. No, you got to find so you know what? Once you click through the 31 ads, it's going to be this person
[00:15:18] who was unknown character is being replaced by somebody. Yep. This one might be fun to look at. Ten scariest Star Wars villains ranked. OK, all right. I'll disagree. But yeah, I think we'll disagree as well. But anyway, why don't you start from 10? Ten go to one.
[00:15:36] I think that's that makes a lot of sense. Kylo Ren's redemption prevents him from being terrifying. So then why is he on the list? Isn't it the top ten most terrifying? Yeah, but this is ten. This is the least of the terrifying.
[00:15:49] Right. But there are more than ten bad guys. So then why if the central villain of the sequel trilogy, Kylo Ren made waves for the first moment he burst on the screen. His unique lightsaber caught the audience's eyes. However, his redemption arc, which it's worth noting works well
[00:16:02] for his character disagree, prevents him from being as terrifying as he could be also disagree. False. I don't know. I thought he was, you know, there's lots of problems with the sequels. But no, I again, we're going to keep going here.
[00:16:16] But I have a problem with this list because it was the top ten most terrifying. Number 10 should be terrifying. Right. Just not as terrifying as number one is number one. Who's number nine? Number nine. Second sister, Thrilla Sundari poses the biggest threat to Cal Kestis life.
[00:16:29] Second sister, Trilla, right? Trilla. Yeah. T.R. I.L. She's not that terrifying. I would not put her on this list, and I certainly I don't think I would put her above Kylo Ren. OK. This is has a comic painting picture here. So Marcy on Marcy on.
[00:16:48] Row. Now knows. Now, Marcy on. Row is terrifying. OK. He should be on this list. Marcy on. Row is in the New Republic series. Now I'm about halfway through that book right now. Is the eye of denial? Yes, the eye of the Nile.
[00:17:06] The Nile are the bad guys. Like the faction of bad guys that are that are like causing havoc during this time period. And he is the eye, which is like there. It wasn't really their ruler, but he has manipulated it so that now it essentially is. OK.
[00:17:23] And he's he's kind of a psychotic. He's kind of crazy. He's a race of alien that's that's like just frightening looking. They have really, really like dark black eyes and sharp teeth. OK, this picture has got a helmet on.
[00:17:37] Yeah, he has a helmet that is just one eye in the middle. One eye in the middle. Sometimes he has a lightsaber because he steals. He stole lightsabers from Jedi's. OK, very cool. But he also has these called force eaters. They're these like dogs with tentacles
[00:17:49] that essentially turn Jedi into dust. OK, very cool. And while doing it make them relive some tariff. It's like the book parts of the books where these things are called the Nameless OK, are like loosed.
[00:18:01] And we hear the point of view perspective of the Jedi who are running from them is genuinely horrifying, like like it. Awesome. And listening to the guy who reads the audio book, do it. OK, he does it in such a way that I'm like driving in my car
[00:18:13] and I'm like, you're cringing like I'm like like I find myself like looking around making sure that they're not actually chasing you. Actually really. So Marcia and Ro should definitely be on that list. OK, good. We agree with one of them. The Grand Inquisitor.
[00:18:25] So we have Andy in our comments, I think talking about Kylo saying terrifying from a story and writing standpoint. So I think that also does count. That does count. Yes. The Grand Inquisitor spearheads one of the galaxy's most frightening groups. Yeah. From I like the Grand Inquisitor.
[00:18:45] I do think he was more frightening in rebels. Yes. Then in the Obi-Wan show. Yes. I think that was largely a makeup problem. I'm about to sneeze. So excuse me. Bless you. All right, so he is number seven. Number six, Darth Maul returns with a vengeance.
[00:19:03] So the return of Darth Maul and the Phantom of First Spirit and Phantom Menace. Phantom Menace, bless you. Oh, gosh. Maul is OK. Muted your mic in the Phantom Menace. Maul's a silent threat. He lurks in the shadows. Maul returns with a newfound ferocity in Star Wars.
[00:19:22] The Clone Wars. Mother Talzin sent his brother, Savage, oppressed to find him in the Outer Rim and bring him home. From there, he becomes one of the most significant threats to the Republic, particularly on Mandalore. He forms a group of allies and together they work to overthrow
[00:19:37] Duchess Satine. Yeah, this culminates in Maul ending Satine's life, which was just another step in his vendetta against Obi-Wan Kenobi, who we saw at reason such miserable states in first place. He's terrifying and unpredictable and one of the strongest villains in the franchise.
[00:19:51] Yeah, I think Maul deserves to be on this list. Did you turn me back up? I did. Cool. Yes. I don't know. I think he should probably be higher. He's at six. We'll see who they give us on top of that. But Palpatine is at five. Hard disagree.
[00:20:06] Yeah, he's got to be much higher. Yeah. And I'll tell you, I said I had problems with the sequels. The one thing I think they nailed that they did better than the prequels or the original was making Palpatine terrifying. Yes, like him connected to all those machines
[00:20:22] and his creepy talking and the sound effects going on underneath and the sound editing on his conversation with Kylo Ren at the beginning of the last not the last Jedi. What's the last one? Number nine. Number nine. Number nine.
[00:20:38] Number nine. Anyway, it's it's some of the coolest stuff I've ever seen. I saw Palpatine do and I was jazzed about that. Yeah. So I liked how they portrayed Palpatine. Didn't like how they used him to run him back. But they made him terrifying there.
[00:20:51] And he felt like he was super powerful. Right, exactly. I agree. Number four is a Saajj Ventress. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. No. No. So I am now reading. I wanted to tell you Dark Disciple. Yes, you show me that. How do you like it? I love it.
[00:21:10] And it's funny because there's a part in here where they talk about a Saajj Ventress taking on the brother, a savage oppress. Saajj. She takes him on to and that's the second time that she tried to kill Count Dooku.
[00:21:30] She she trained him and tortured him in the way that only Dark Sisters and Night Sisters can. So she is I think if you read all of the books and everything that she's in, she is much more scary.
[00:21:50] And I'm not I'm not trying to say like I like her as a character. I'm not trying to be like, you know, when you put her above Palpatine, like Palpatine is this and all and all. Yeah, Palpatine is the point of all nine movies. Yeah, basically, like, yeah.
[00:22:06] So I think. Yeah, that's that's incorrect. I think there's opinions and then there's there's right and wrong. And this is just wrong. Yeah, she should definitely be on the list of 10. I don't think she should be above Mal or and here's the thing.
[00:22:20] Like they put Kylo Ren at 10 and they said, you know, his redemption arc makes him less scary. Right. She has a redemption. She has a redemption arc in this book. Yeah, like even before this book, like she she goes from being a Sith trainee to leaving.
[00:22:36] And so that's her redemption arc. And even in this book, she's like training Voss Voss. Right. Yeah, she's training Quinlan Voss in dark Jedi in the dark arts, dark arts. Yeah, sure. It's Harry Potter. Harry Potter and but she's also like making sure that she doesn't fall back
[00:22:59] into that herself. So she has her own redemption. Or this one definitely. The stranger. Kumar, Kymir, Kymir is one of the deadliest threats yet. So we haven't even gotten to that yet. So we will talk all about that. We'll talk all about that.
[00:23:15] I'm going to leave it there. You're going to leave him at three. I don't know about again, the numbering on all of this is way off. Right. I think he should definitely be in the 10. I like because also like the other thing that Asajj Ventress
[00:23:27] and Quinlan Voss are talking about in this book is how Quinlan Voss doesn't want to fall to the dark side. He's not he's trained a Jedi. He trained at the Jedi temple. So he doesn't want to do the dark side things of killing for no reason. Right.
[00:23:46] But he he's convincing himself, I have to do this because Count Dooku killed millions of people. Right. You know, whole civilizations just annihilate everybody so that he could get their planet and whatever. So he's trying to try to redeem himself there.
[00:24:05] So if you're saying that this guy is one of the deadliest because he killed five people in one battle, right? He didn't kill entire civilizations. And what I like about that, too, they do a really good job about this in the books.
[00:24:16] It's hard. I guess it's probably harder to do this on screen because we don't get the point of view in the mind of the character. But they're making a good job doing a good job with the Jedi specifically in the High Republic series to emphasize that when
[00:24:30] a Jedi like kills someone like in the movie is like kill move on to the next guy. Right. But in in like they they talk every time it's like a person or something. Yeah, they're sad. Yeah. And they like they like in their brains have that
[00:24:44] moral conversation almost where they like will say it pains me to snuff out the light of another child of the force. But I know that they will go on to do terrible things. Yeah. And so like it is cool to see that mindset of like
[00:25:01] and I think that's part of like why we see the Jedi goes to a stray in the Clone Wars because many of their targets weren't humans so they didn't have to have that moral. Yeah. Dilemma. Yeah, they were just cutting down robots.
[00:25:13] Yeah. And so it almost became like I don't know, maybe at a certain point you didn't even really differentiate. I've been killing robots so long. Here's a dude. Here's a dude. Chop chop chop. He's the same thing as a robot.
[00:25:23] Yeah. It was funny as we've talked about this and we talked about this even when we had John Jackson Miller on how he was saying like in the books you really can't do too much
[00:25:33] because it all has to the main stuff has to take place in the movies right or now maybe even on Disney Plus. But in this book, Quinlan Voss is fighting General Grievous and at one point he like cuts off his hand.
[00:25:46] And I was like, oh, General Grievous is one of the bad guys that you can do a lot of damage to. And you it doesn't have to affect the overall movie. Right? Yeah. Because it just get a new hand. And I was like, oh, that's good.
[00:25:59] That's a good loophole. He found it. He's like, you can't chop off Count Dukuzan. No, no, because you got a lot explaining to do then. But you can chop off a robot. And I think I just get another one. Just look at a C3PO.
[00:26:13] OK, so this stranger is number three. Number two. Once again, I think I really, I really like this. But I think now hold on. One should be Palpatine. I agree. Now I'm just trying to think now because I'm thinking through the bad guys.
[00:26:34] One of these is going to be Thrawn. And one of them is going to be maybe the mother either mother Talzin or else the other sister. No, well, you're right about Thrawn. Thrawn is number two. OK. Who's number one? General Admiral Thrawn's intellect makes him formidable.
[00:26:51] Sure. And number one. Darth Vader is Darth Vader. Is Darth Vader. Yeah. OK. The ultimate Star Wars villain. I'll add that because Darth Vader was so synonymous with, you know, movie villains. I mean, yeah, I think he was ranked number one movie villain of all time. Right.
[00:27:10] And especially like if you watch the original trilogy, like you don't understand until returning to Jedi how powerful Palpatine is. Right. All the power that you see is through Darth Vader, you know, force choking people from galaxies away.
[00:27:30] Right. Just because you can see you on the on the hollow hollow screen, you know, whatever. And how much just his presence as soon as he walks into the room, it's just like, oh, no. So yeah, so I'm OK with him being one, maybe two behind Palpatine.
[00:27:45] Yeah, that'd be fine. But yes. But yeah, the list has some problems. I had some problems with it. All right. Episode five is perfectly screen proves that the Sith had more to fear from the attachment than the Jedi ever did. That's from Screen Rant.
[00:28:00] Egerton listens to Star Wars fans, Dark Horizons, whatever. One accolade fan theory would fix a massive Star Wars sequel trilogy pro problem, whatever. Now I say we just hop in and talk about it. I think we talk about it. Yeah.
[00:28:12] So let's let's go to a quick commercial by Manon. No one will get that except for us. Except for old people. All right. I'm going to drink some some black liquor as beer. Drink that black. And I'm going to have a sip of this delightful bullet. Kentucky bourbon.
[00:28:28] What can bullet bourbon frontier whiskey? Hannigan's. You ever see the Remember the Seinfeld episode with Hannigan's? No, is that a Kramer does like a whole ad for this? OK, I just I love why don't you just tell me the name of the movie
[00:28:43] that you want to see? Yeah, that is that is a great one. When he's missed, he is phone is members. One number. Yeah. And all the kids who are listening are going, where's movie phone? Exactly. It's pretty funny. All right, we're back.
[00:28:55] I do have this one thing real fast. I've talked about it, Dark Disciple. Really enjoying it. We talked about it before, because this is where Quinlan Voss and Assajj Ventress get together. They date he turns bad. And this is where people were concerned with the new
[00:29:11] rise of the another Jedi, whatever the one were, Assajj. They told the Assajj story. Right. Because they were like, well, wait, because it was not. Bad batch. Bad batch. She's in bad batch. Yeah. And it was like, well, what about the ending of this?
[00:29:26] Is this going to be going to mess this up? And you'll have to tell us. I have to tell you, I have to let you know. I also found this book. Awesome facts for Star Wars fans. Love it. So the unofficial collection, we'll read two of them.
[00:29:39] Maybe one of them. Unofficial. Unofficial, yes. So I don't know how good it's going to be. It was on. I was going to say Dundermilk. When it was on Amazon. So I got it. So to create the iconic lightsabers,
[00:29:52] prop master Roger Christian dug deep into the scrap heap. A disguised, a dis words, a disused photo lamp served as a handle. He added a bit of superglue and parts of an old calculator. And the Jedi's weapon was good to go. What's a photo lamp?
[00:30:12] What's a photo lamp? I assume a lamp for photography. I guess like the thing that sort of thing they. Yeah, because I did see it. The handle was the handle that a photographer used for something. But yes, yes, that's what it was. OK, and then one more.
[00:30:29] An iconic villain Darth Vader. Darth Vader is considered one of the most vicious and evil movie villains ever. We just learned we just learned this. The iconic Sith Lord was even ranked third by the American Film Institute in their list of the 100 greatest movie heroes and villains.
[00:30:47] Oh, heroes and villains. He was first and villains. Yes, this put him. This puts him who had once been known throughout the galaxy as Anakin Skywalker right behind Dr. Hannibal Lecter. Did they put Hannibal Lecter in front of him?
[00:31:02] The Silence of the Lambs and Norman Bates in Psycho. I really thought he was first. Yeah, there you go. So there we go. It was funny. Dan or somebody posted a video in our little chat group. And it was some British and it looked very old.
[00:31:22] Game show. Sure. And it said the question was, who was the father of Luke Skywalker? And the first guy chimes in Anakin Skywalker. And he goes, oh, nope, you're wrong. And they said Darth Vader. And the second person chimes in, they said Darth Vader.
[00:31:36] And he goes, you are correct. So it was funny. David did this. David sent it to us. And then Ryan said, ha, ha, take that nerd. You knew too much. You're not you're too smart. It reminds me.
[00:31:49] So the big hallow blue in Nintendo world right now is that there's a new Zelda game coming out. And, you know, for the past 35 years, you know, the whole joke was like a play, you're playing Zelda and someone watching was like, oh, why is Zelda?
[00:32:05] We're in that green thing because everyone thinks that Zelda is a playable character. Oh, it's actually a link. But the new Zelda game coming out has Zelda as the playable character. Oh, so you're actually playing as Zelda. That is pretty funny. Similar vibes. Yes. Anyway.
[00:32:18] Anyway, the acolyte episode five, which is now called night night. Yeah, we have episode four was day. We have night. Yes. Now we have night. I'll hop into this discussion by saying I do not think any of the things
[00:32:31] that we are about to say change my mind or opinion about the previous episodes. The previous episodes were still garbage. Yeah, I mean, to varying degrees. Right. I think episode two was garbage. OK, episode two and three. Three was a flashback to the oh, that's the one.
[00:32:48] Three, three was garbage. The other ones were OK to. Intriguing, exciting to not. But, you know, this one. Was certain like this is what every episode needs to be. Yes. If you want to make a Star Wars.
[00:33:05] And I'm not just saying like every episode has to be, you know, lightsabers and like, oh, actually, like that was amazing. Right. Don't get me wrong. But like also when they weren't fighting and things were happening
[00:33:15] and the plot was moving forward and I was intrigued and I was invested. And that did not happen always in the period. So anyway, I was a big fan of this episode. The fight sequences were excellent. Yes. I'm. I don't know if I'm.
[00:33:33] Disappointed that we were right about Chimera being a stranger. I was a little like so I wanted it to be. I wanted it to be deeper. I wanted to be a better twist.
[00:33:43] It felt like it would have been good if that was what we were supposed to think. You know what I mean? Like they were putting that out there as the red herring. Yeah. And then like the bigger reveal and we'd be like, oh, wow.
[00:33:53] Oh, didn't even see that. Yeah. Now I'm not mad about it because like it made sense and the guy killed it. He did kill it. This episode he. He crushed it. He was so good in this episode.
[00:34:04] If you if you look at some of the interviews with the actor, he talks about how Chimera and the scene. Managing to how Chimera and the stranger are two different people, essentially. Like he's playing. He had to play people.
[00:34:18] So, you know, when he's playing Chimera was this kind of Lucy Goosey. He, you know, he was I think who said he was kind of channeling. But it was. Can't read. So he said he said he said he was almost channeling Jack Sparrow. OK.
[00:34:34] He was he was sort of had these sort of that sort of a vibe to him. And then, especially with his movements and just kind of with the stranger, it was all about stillness like only exerting the amount of movement that he needed to do.
[00:34:49] And everything came from his face and from the projection in his voice. And the only movement he used was for the combat. Right. And it was funny. It was like a slow reveal as to who it was.
[00:35:02] Because when he's first fighting like his arms were kind of covered up a little bit or just like hidden behind trees and stuff. And then there's just one scene where like maybe like he's holding lights everywhere out and you can tell that it's a man's arm.
[00:35:16] And you're like, OK. And then as soon as you see that, you're like, all right, it's not the other night sister mom. Right. And I was like, darn it. And then, you know, he's fighting some more.
[00:35:26] And as soon as you see like a skin color and everything, I'm like, all right, it's going to be him. It's a human. Yeah. Yeah. He's not purple or he's not whatever. Yeah. And again, I'm not mad about it. But no. And like we've been calling it.
[00:35:41] Yeah. Yeah. But at a certain point you're like hoping you were wrong. Yeah. You wanted to be wrong. And now the next thing is that everybody's trying to figure out why how he knows so much about what Master Soul. Why Master Soul was so angry.
[00:36:01] Yeah, there's still certainly stuff that he knows that we don't know. Right. And and so the new theory is that they're they're related somehow. They're long lost brothers or because they're both of Asian descent because they're both. Yes. With the English like that.
[00:36:15] Yeah. So I'm like, I hope it's not that obvious also because like now you're really stretching. But he because he kept saying like, oh, you know, true Jedi wouldn't attack an unarmed person, which I want to
[00:36:31] yell at that line because he's even if he doesn't have a lightsaber, he's not an unarmed person because he has the force. He has the force. He and he said your you Jedi might call me Sith. So he's not saying that he was a Sith.
[00:36:48] And that's the other thing. And there's talk about that specific line. Yeah. Because he he very well could have just said Jedi would call me sit. Right. And not might call me. So yeah. And apparently now I need to go back and double a triple list of this.
[00:37:05] But the big hullabaloo is that twice throughout this episode, Kylo Ren's theme played. OK. And it played like musically and played during that line. Apparently. OK. Yes. I did. I did read that somewhere also that they said.
[00:37:18] So like some theories out there are that like the Knights of Wren were a like a offshoot of the Sith. Yeah. And that was the forming of the Knights of Wren at the beginning of the night. Yeah. And his helmet is even reminiscent of Kylo Ren's helmet.
[00:37:32] And the whole thing with the Knights of Wren is that like there is the Knights of Wren is a lightsaber. That's the whole thing. And like the Knights of Wren, the leader of the Knights of Wren wields Wren the lightsaber. And they take the name.
[00:37:45] That's why Kylo Wren's name was Kylo Wren because he was the leader of the Knights of Wren. So there's a whole there's a lot of lore behind it. I don't know how I feel about that. Right. It seems like a lot of complication to throw into this.
[00:37:57] Yes. And and I did read another article. It was like, no, he's not the first Knights of Wren and no, he's not a Sith because he just says, you know, you might you might call me Sith or something like that. I'm trying to go back to a discussion
[00:38:17] I had with a great nod to the books. I'm also digging the call back to Wren to my one friend said he. There was a call back to Kylo Wren and I guess maybe they were talking about that music that was there. But yeah, so I don't know.
[00:38:37] I don't think he's either of those. And because then he also said something along the lines of I just want to be me without having any rules. So that that's the other you know, that's a line that is certainly up for interpretation debate
[00:38:52] because the kind of he's he's making this point that is kind of like reinforced throughout the series of like, you know, the Jedi are the arbiters of how the force is allowed to be used. You know, we see with the witches too, right?
[00:39:07] They're saying we're the only ones who are allowed to train people. Yes, the forces is big thing. And there we know that there are different use users that that they use it from different ways. But we're the only ones who are allowed to use it.
[00:39:20] And we're and so like there is this argument to be made that they are creating their own enemies by that. But then, you know, at the same time, he can't claim to be just as oh, I just want to because like,
[00:39:34] you know, part of his his, you know, using of the dark side is hurting others and inflicting pain and killing and domination. And we still haven't gotten to now there are still three episodes left. So right. But why he was telling his acolyte
[00:39:52] that she had to kill a Jedi without using a weapon. Right. And what what that whole purpose was. So some some people are saying that that is like rhetorical slash, you know, it's using imagery that like, you know, when they talk about killing the Jedi,
[00:40:09] they don't mean killing a Jedi that mean killing the Jedi as a whole. And you don't kill them with a weapon, right? You kill them with, you know, essentially, you know, by manipulating the system or by OK. So like, I don't know if maybe there are some people
[00:40:24] who are thinking that he's being metaphorical when he's saying, OK, you don't kill a Jedi or don't kill a Jedi with a weapon. Like we'll think about soul right now, right? Yeah. Something's telling me that he's going to die
[00:40:34] and it's not going to be he's not going to be killed by it. It's going to be something having to do with this secret he's been hiding or whatever happened in the past. Yeah. And so in that way, they're going to kill
[00:40:44] they're going to break the Jedi spirit. And that's a big again, a big theme in the old Republic or the High Republic stuff is breaking the Jedi OK, spirit and the whole point of this series and this time period
[00:40:58] is to show the beginnings of the end right for the Jedi. And I think part of that and part of what we see in this series is, you know, the dogma, you know, like just the the dogmatic principles being above everything else.
[00:41:14] Right. Like whatever happened or the truth, it doesn't matter. We have to, you know, live by these rules and sure what they're doing a good job of kind of there's there's a good parallel in the new book where they're kind of paralleling
[00:41:28] Anakin with this character, Elzarm and Elzarm man is a Jedi master in the in the old or the High Republic. And he's been throughout the last four books kind of fighting his darkness and you get to see that. And in the new book, it's him and
[00:41:46] there's another Jedi master, Avar, Chris, OK, and they're like in love. OK, and like not exactly hiding, you know what I mean? Like as I'm listening and they're kind of like, this is this is not as cladestine as cladestine clandestine.
[00:42:01] That's the one man. I'm a dummy clandestine, as I would think it would be considering Anakin, but it you can almost see the beginnings of that. So I'm almost wondering if they're trying to show like because here they're talking about, you know, connection and and and love and,
[00:42:16] you know, all these things being a good thing because they they help us to like be who we are and like my guess is as this period goes by, we're going to see the Jedi shun connection and shun, you know,
[00:42:31] relationships to the point where this starts sort of stuff just starts happening and crumbling. Right. Even even in the Dark Disciple, they talk about massage talks about that a little bit with with Voss, right? Because they're like undercover during this whatever.
[00:42:49] And she's like, you've never like you've never loved anybody before. You've never had any of those feelings. And so now he's starting to like get those feelings type of thing and whatever. So yeah, so it is it is interesting.
[00:43:04] There was a couple of really good lines that I liked in this in this episode. It'll also be interesting as we're sitting here talking, I'm like, this episode was so much different than the previous four. Where like we we don't know why
[00:43:24] the Jedi master in episode two killed himself. Right. We still don't know what happened with the night sister house when the girls were little. All we know now from this really good episode was that now a lot of killing and a lot of poor one out, right?
[00:43:44] Poor several out. So we lost to Kalnaka last one. So yeah, so I have I have the list of all the people that we lost. So I'm going to get into that in a second. But first he says hiding in plain sight, which was a great line.
[00:43:59] I love and then the other guy goes, why? Why are you showing yourself now or something like that? And he says I was wearing a helmet. Yeah, yeah. And that's that's the cool thing about his character, too, that I
[00:44:17] I really hope now that we have this cool character, he just doesn't get killed off. Yeah, I mean, or something like that, because I like him because he's he's real. You know, like he's he's in he's a like every other Sith has been almost mustache, trillingly cartoonish.
[00:44:31] Right. Yeah. This is a bad dude who's just he's like he's almost like a real dude who's like, I don't know. You might in every thing you do, there are prodigies, right? There are regular people that all those like, you know,
[00:44:43] in music, especially, there's just these regular people that for whatever reason, I don't know why you can do this, but you can put some how you're amazing. Yeah. And so like, like every other time, I don't know,
[00:44:52] I just feel like we, you know, all the bad guys are, like I said, the Doctor Evils. But like this is like like a random he's a wanderer. You know, he looks like like a vagabond. They call him the stranger.
[00:45:03] He looks like he could have a cool story. I just hope we get to hear. We get to hear it. Yeah. The court courtosis. Yep, courtosis. We so a lot of people were like, wait, where did he get best car from? Right. And then it was revealed through
[00:45:18] people who read the books, I guess. Well, there's a courtosis. So it's not even about that because they'd talk about courtosis in the Clone Wars. OK. There's a whole thing where they're building courtosis droids and they have to destroy the factory so that they can do that. OK.
[00:45:34] And the whole reason it couldn't be best cars, because best car doesn't mess with lightsaber blades. Right. Which is yeah, it just protects you from them. So this is really cool. Soka fighting with. Man, I can't keep forgetting her name,
[00:45:49] but you know, with the best car staff, the best car staff in this and it was telltale almost right away because you see you saw them like spark and short out. Yeah. Yeah. I was I was first I was a little confused
[00:46:01] because I didn't see the gauntlet on his arm. It was confusing for sure. I didn't see that for a while. The helmet I saw it. Oh, but then when he did the arm thing, like where did that come from? Yeah, where that comes from.
[00:46:11] Some people don't maybe had a fake arm, but then you do see he's got just a gauntlet like a courtosis gauntlet on. Yeah. So so the courtosis for those of you who don't know is it's some kind of metalish type thing.
[00:46:24] But that's why the lightsabers were shorting out because it was affecting their crystals in the way that they work and I think it creates like a power surge essentially and turns off the power crystal. You'll notice, obviously, they all essentially were able to turn them back on.
[00:46:41] Right. It gave you a little bit of surgery. You had to reset the button that the blow in the bottom of it like a Nintendo cartridge. And then show them back in nice and neatly and then control all to lead.
[00:46:51] And then you hit it a couple of times on the bottom. Yeah. And then it comes back on again. Like Fonzie like Fonzie. Yeah. He's not his fingers and the jukebox started playing. So that was pretty cool that it did affect their lightsabers that way.
[00:47:06] And I thought he was like cutting the lightsabers in half a first second. And I'm like, wow, but it was just like this. This material just shorted them out. So that was pretty cool. And oh, the other line, which was which was a really good line was.
[00:47:25] Spoiler alert. After he killed the. Padwon Jedi that I really like. Yeah, after he killed Jackie, Saul was like she was just a child and he was like you brought her here. Yeah. I was like, oh, that's such a good line. Yeah. Yeah. That was.
[00:47:42] And again, it's that sort of stuff. Yeah. That I like that makes him real. Because it's like he's, you know, he's he's at, you know, a monster. But it does monsters can be right about things. Yeah. You know what I mean?
[00:47:55] Just just because your monstrous doesn't make you wrong about everything. Right. So like he's a monster for killing her. But like, what the hell were you doing bringing a child on a on a mission like this? Mission that you knew you were going to part of the problem
[00:48:08] with the Jedi and their whole system. So yeah. And we see that with us and they're exploring that with the Soka and with Cal Kestis is this idea of training children to go to war. Yeah. Yeah. And like the whole process where they get taken away from their
[00:48:26] families and they lose all that. Yeah. That makes a kid a kid and whatever and all they're doing is just training to be this the super soldier. And they're never allowed to see their family again. They're never allowed to see their family again.
[00:48:37] And yeah, so it ain't right. And that's right. And that ain't right. All right. So all of the people that were killed in the Red Wedding RIP, RIP people in the chat. Yep. Pour them all out. So it's funny because the first one that was listed
[00:48:52] unidentified male human Jedi red shirt. Number Red shirt. Number one. So we're going to call him Frank. Frank Frank the Jedi passed away. Passed away. So Frank the Jedi was the first one. The accolade after. Well, we're going to go.
[00:49:09] The unidentified Jedi might not have had the most emotional impact, but he sent out the accolade episode five quite well. It also established that the Sith Lord was not taking prisoners. A Jedi had already died offscreen in the episodes first minute. So he killed the. Kalnaka. Kalnaka.
[00:49:27] I really hope we get a flashback because I want to see a Jedi Wookie. Sure. He was just sitting there the whole time. Then the next person that he kills, if the pan. OK. She died almost immediately.
[00:49:41] Was this the woman who was then greeted with her friend as a Shishkabab? Uh, career mowed down a thick. If it's down like she was barely even a threat, slicing her in the knee and then stabbing her in the back.
[00:49:55] Oh, so now that was that's who that was. Her death came while. Kumar is a high senior. Chymier was fighting off four other Jedi simultaneously, which really shows how powerful he was. Sure. So we'll talk a little bit about that as we go along.
[00:50:12] She was the first Keldor Jedi scene in live action since Plo could platoon. Platoon. Yeah. In fact, I thought it was platoon when I first saw it. So I guess that was not but believe she would be around longer. And then three more unidentified human Jedi.
[00:50:28] And this is the Shishkabab. Oh my God, this was so awesome. As three unnamed humans, it seemed these Jedi were only brought along on the mission to to Kofar to show the Sith Lord strength. The sheer brutality of of Kwaimwar is that? Kymir. My goodness, Kymir.
[00:50:49] Methods turn the Jedi fight for survival into a little more than an execution. Kymir impaled the female Jedi on his lightsaber and then used the force to pull the last unnamed human onto his blade behind her and then beheading them both for good measure.
[00:51:06] So the fight scenes were amazing. Yeah, they were really, really shockingly brutal for Disney. Like, I was not especially, which I'm sure is going to come next the Yord Horde over there. Yord. Yeah. Oh, just like the snap of the neck.
[00:51:21] I was not I was not ready for no because you're you're expecting, especially with people who have lightsabers and stuff to see a lightsaber battle and whatever. But then he just like he's like, I've had enough of you.
[00:51:33] And that again, that's, you know, it juxtaposes the two sides, right? The Jedi are supposedly honorable. They supposedly fight don't kill with someone or fight someone without a weapon. And like, here's the guy calling them up for their hypocrisy.
[00:51:48] And like he he's not going to live to that same code. Yeah. And that code is just going to in the end hurt y'all. Right. Make it easier. And there was another line that he said if you don't
[00:52:00] believe in rules, you don't have to follow them or something along those lines or something like that. Did you know, Oshia and and my May May, the girl that plays them? Do you know what we I don't know if it was the first time we saw her,
[00:52:17] but one of the very first times that we saw her was in the mocking J. Oh, that's right. She was. What's her name? She was the little girl. What's her name? That can. Um, she was. Oh, she died. That was that was breaking. That's right.
[00:52:33] What the heck? Where's the castle? Here we go. A man. Amandela. Amandela, I'm sure. Amandela. It's a man. That is her name. Amanda Stenberg. OK. She my God, my Wi-Fi is so slow down here. The hunger game. Rue. Her name. Rue. That's right. Her name is.
[00:52:55] So, yeah. So she was Rue first. She was great in that. She was great as Rue. Yeah. All right. So then we get the shiskabob people and then we get Yord. You know who would have done a really good job? Like instead of those two crappy child actors.
[00:53:11] OK. Like she was a good child actor. She was. If they could have gotten her as a child actor to play herself. Yeah, it would have been really great. Yeah, fortunately, she was she grew up.
[00:53:21] Yeah, she got a little too old to play herself as a young one. So the whole Yord. Yord was annoying me. I'm not going to lie. Yeah, and he was opposed to that. I think that was the point of Yord was he was the.
[00:53:37] The all encompassing like symbol of like the annoying dogmatic BS that the Jedi had become. You know, right? Because he was by the bladder. This is the way it is. We are the arbiters of the force. All this stuff. Take the civilian back to the ship.
[00:53:52] Take the civilian back to the ship. Dude, I've known you since we were five. Yeah, used to wet the bed. Yeah, like. We were both mates. Yeah, let's go. But yeah, so he was annoying and it was fun seeing him use
[00:54:06] the lightsaber as his flashlight the whole time. He did it. He used it more as a flashlight than he did a weapon. Yeah. There are a lot of surprise, hatred about the lightsabers. Why? Because. The now that the lightsabers are actual real lightsabers
[00:54:29] in a way that they glow. I forget what episode it might have been. It might have been even even in episode seven. The battery packs and everything for the lightsabers were on like belts that the people wore, right?
[00:54:45] And then they had wires going down their arm into the handle. Right. And then by episode eight, they were able to get the batteries to fit inside the handle. They had to make the handle a little bit bigger than what it was before.
[00:54:58] So now the handle is a little bit bigger. The blade is a little bit bigger because it hasn't. It's an actual right light. Bulb in there. So now everybody's like, oh, they're too big. They should be smaller and skinnier and blah, blah, blah. Shut up.
[00:55:13] And even like if you watch rebels, I saw somebody was complaining about it today about how toothpicky the lightsabers were in Star Wars rebels. You never gonna get. Yeah, you never gonna get. Like they're trying to they're trying to save themselves and make it look better.
[00:55:29] Yeah, save themselves hundreds and hundreds of thousands of hours of reanimating and drawing the lines on manually over top of the cells. Yeah. So they can do that now. And it also gives you the real glow. When you're holding a yellow lightsaber,
[00:55:45] there's a yellow glow in your face now that you weren't getting an episode four in a new hope. Yeah, which doesn't seem like a big deal. But then you see that duel between Obi-Wan and Vader right when the glow is blue
[00:55:56] and then when it turns red like that. That adds a lot. That adds a lot to it. Yeah, it definitely makes it look a lot better. So shut up. Yeah. Honestly, Dan said that Star Wars fans are the divorced dad now, which it took me a second
[00:56:14] to realize what he was saying. It's just like, you know, I guess people complaining about their divorced husband or their divorced dad. You know, like dad's never there, blah, blah, blah. So we're going to complain about everything. So that's what it like. They're just complaining about everything.
[00:56:29] They're just complaining to complain. Yeah. And it's very annoying. But anyway, so yeah, so Yord gets killed by a snap of the neck, which was fine because he was super annoying. Then we get poor Jackie. And Jackie was my favorite. Yeah, she turned into a button.
[00:56:47] Yeah, the three holes popped into her. So I really liked her the most because and I don't know if they did this on purpose or if she was just a much better actor than everybody else. She was, but go on. But she had personality. Yeah.
[00:57:04] She had she had emotion in her in her speak where everybody else was a Buddhist monk. We will do this. She was like, no, let's do this. You know, she held her own better than all the rest of the Jedi knights like she did.
[00:57:21] She fought way better when she pulled out and you knew it was going to get used when she ran into the house or crashed in the house. He had come out because lightsaber. And she even we got much more of a double blitz two
[00:57:36] lightsaber battle with her than we did with Anakin. Yeah. Yeah. So she she did such a good job with the lightsaber. She did such a good job. And then Chimear pulls his lightsaber apart. Right. And he has a show to like little tiny. Yeah. Yep.
[00:57:52] And then stabbed her three times that fast, which was very, very sad, very disappointing because I really of all of the characters she was she was definitely my favorite. Yes. She had the most personality. Yeah. So it was really, really disappointed.
[00:58:07] But he said even he said, you know, I have to kill everybody. Anybody who's seen my face, I have to kill them now. Yeah. So you know he's going to try and hunt down Sun Tzu. Soul. Soul. I knew something in the nest.
[00:58:24] And that's where the last three episodes are going. Yeah. And we ended with apparently all you have to do to look like your sister is use a lightsaber. Oh my God. So that was hair by lightsaber. OK. Maybe she's born with it. Maybe it's lightsaber. Maybe it's lightsaber.
[00:58:42] Yeah. So and they did they made sure they let you know that everybody knows that that's not her. Right. Like, Soul was like what? And she's like what? And he goes, where's your sister? Right. Because he knows it's not her. Right.
[00:59:02] Then the tracker, which was an interesting little creature. Yeah. Basil. Basil. Yeah. He well, he found the other half of Pip, which is good. And she can put back together when she gets reunited with her droid because she's stuck on the planet. Right.
[00:59:17] But Basil's like and he's like sniffing around. And he's like yeah. And he's like like he's going after her. You don't smell right. You don't smell right to me. So Soul knows Badger knows and they even made sure that we knew. Yeah.
[00:59:34] Because the wrong version of her who was left behind had the tattoo on her arm. Right. That they talked about in episode one where Soul was like hey it's your body, whatever. You got a tattoo. You got a tattoo. That's fine.
[00:59:48] So like everybody knows and even the stranger because even when he met her in episode two he was like he looked just like her. Right. And he was like he went from being the aloof like surfer dude like Jack Sparrow and he was like
[01:00:06] you look just like her. Right. So everybody knows that they're not the right people except she thinks she's tricked everybody. And I'm like come on like they're Jedi. You don't think that they will be able to figure this out? And that'll annoy me if they don't. Right.
[01:00:22] That Jedi can like this is a completely different person but she looks like her. But she looks like her. And they also really like wanted you to know that it was her because when Soul was laying down the first couple of steps
[01:00:35] where she was like real menacing as she walked. And then as Soul picked up his head she was like oh hey buddy let's go. Hey dude. I was just coming to pick you up. Want some eggs and bacon? Making breakfast. I'll make some breakfast man we're best friends.
[01:00:50] And the other thing that I have a question about and maybe because Jedi don't ever have this problem but they're so moral and they're so like the high ground. Sure. The Green Berets have a saying leave no man behind. Sure. So even if somebody has killed in battle
[01:01:11] they're going to do everything they can to bring that guy home so that the bad guys don't do bad things to their body and you know defame them and all this other stuff. He walks out there's five dead Jedi in this area. They just leave him.
[01:01:27] And he leaves them. Yeah. Like do Jedi not have that same I mean I know they don't have. In just about every other instance like this we've seen them burn the Jedi in a very sacred ceremony. Symbolic ceremony and whatever. And he just like.
[01:01:41] Showing proper rights and respect. Yeah he just like walks away he's like let's go we gotta leave. Yeah see you guys. Hello all these people. I'm going to draw it for you. Yeah all these people just followed you into battle
[01:01:50] three of which we don't four of which we don't even know their names and they all died for nothing and you're just going to leave them there in the woods. Yeah it seems about that. So I was very disappointed in that.
[01:01:59] I wanted to see him throw everybody over his shoulder. Yep. And carry them all back. One two three four one two three. Oh on the Jedi. On the Jedi I can do this. I have powers. I have skills some force stuff I can pick up multiple people.
[01:02:11] I mean if Yoda could pick up an X-wing. Right. I think you can carry a couple freaking dead bodies. Five dead bodies. Who are your friends? They're slightly less weighty because part of them was disintegrated by lightsaber. So they're even less weighty at this point.
[01:02:29] And the combination of all five of them way less than an X-wing. That's all for sure. 100%. So yes so that was that was the end of it and then we see that the stranger magically with his lightsaber is still able to kill.
[01:02:44] They look like spin spin flat moths. Yeah yeah we saw her use the wildlife against Kymir. It was very I mean it was very clear to me that he wasn't going to die. It would have been annoying if they would have died off screen by moths.
[01:03:00] It would have been more annoying if they made us wait to think like oh is he dead. Like anyway he's not. Yeah. But yeah he falls down from fighting these moths kind of wipes himself off. He's like all right. He's like all right. He's doing some evil stuff.
[01:03:15] Yeah I'm going to go be bad some more. So yeah so that's where we left off in the episode. I thought it was a very good episode. It was it was I don't think anyone would dispute it's the best episode of the series.
[01:03:25] Best episode of the series so far. But again I that doesn't mean that the other episodes can suck you know right and I hope from here there's three episodes left. I hope the last three are just as good as this one
[01:03:37] and I hope they didn't spend all their money and all their brain power on this. We need to have this. Yeah we need to have that and there's going to be another fight at the end because Saul and and Kami have to have to fight again.
[01:03:50] So it's going to be the rematch the Rocky Balboa rematch that I was hoping that we would get. We won't have to wait all the way to episode eight to see a good fight. Right. So we're going to get that again.
[01:04:02] But let's hope that then the next two or three episodes don't suck because we spent all our put all our eggs in this basket. And we said yeah we're going to make this one awesome. And that's that's again we since we've last had another
[01:04:16] podcast and another episode of House of the Dragons come out and cemented like what actual good television storytelling is. And it's like because every episode and everything that happens in every episode feels like it matters and means something. Yeah. You know what I mean.
[01:04:31] Like so I just hope that they I say this but I don't think it's going to be the case because we've seen it with several projects before but I just wish they would realize like if you're going to make this stuff make every episode count.
[01:04:43] Especially when we give us eight episodes. Yeah. And you're only giving us 35 minute episode like like every year you have this little bit if you want to make it 50 minutes then you can add these long extended artsy shots. Right.
[01:04:54] House of the Dragon had like a whole like 20 second shot in the first episode. The last episode just came out just of a battlefield covered in bodies. Yeah. It was like and it just stayed there. And just stay there. You saw more and more of it.
[01:05:06] And it was like to a certain point you're just kind of like oh my God this is going on forever. Yeah. But you know it didn't piss me off because there was like you know an hour and four minutes left in the in the episode. Right.
[01:05:16] You know when it's 30 a 34 minute episode and you were looking at a rock for 25 seconds it's like all right. Yeah. Yeah let's go. Yeah. Yeah we don't have 23 episodes to work through. We have eight. So let's let's do this. Yeah. So again I it is a vast improvement.
[01:05:34] I hope that this is a sign that the rest of the season is on more in this tack than any other as and else but I just hope that Star Wars re-evaluates. This is the sort of content we need out of everything. Yes I agree.
[01:05:49] I'm looking at I'm trying to look at all the different TV series that came out since Disney plus the Mandalorian book above a fat and or and or Obi-Wan Kenobi Soka. The tales of the Acolyte tales of the Empire whatever
[01:06:09] and the Acolyte I guess they're the they're the big ones right so I'm like trying to figure out like as of right now even with episode five I think this still stands above book above a fat but below everything else but below everything else yeah.
[01:06:23] Yeah for sure for sure. Yeah I think that can change. We should see. Yeah we'll see if it if it I'm starting like I still think Mandalorian is the best for sure. Andor I really enjoyed Andor a lot. Me too but I also I don't know.
[01:06:43] Asoca and a Soka was good Obi-Wan I liked a lot because of the just because I liked Obi-Wan. Yeah it's hard. I mean Mandalorian I think stands far and above the rest of them is is just without question.
[01:06:57] Yeah I think and even the best episode of the book above a fat was a Mandalorian episode so it's. But yeah so I don't know I think a Soka and Obi-Wan are probably very similar to me in how much I like them both agreed.
[01:07:14] Yeah they're pretty even and then yeah but I think well below those would be this one. Yeah this one and the book above a there's a good space I would say between those two because I think their quality I don't think they're amazing
[01:07:26] but I think their quality I think their quality and then book above a fat in this so far. Yeah and again not to say that there's nothing good that comes out of them but overall overall yeah overall product I wouldn't if if I had to go back
[01:07:40] and rewatch episodes and he told me you have to go back and rewatch all the episodes of three shows the the accolade and book above a fat would not be to that would pick. No they would not I would definitely pick any one
[01:07:53] of those Soka Obi-Wan and or or or Mando. Yeah all right well that was we're more than halfway through we have what two more episodes or three three more one drops tomorrow. Right yeah so on Disney Plus you might have heard
[01:08:07] of them does yeah I wonder if it's a different time. Nope. Now probably not nine o'clock. Yeah check it out on Disney check out all the ears up people on all the podcast places catch us on the social meds right to your local congressman about Rob's beard.
[01:08:25] Yeah make sure it comes back. Oh funny thing about today is there's two things I was going to say you write to your congressman and get Rob's beard as a national holiday. Yeah today is also Bobby Benia day talking about sports real fast.
[01:08:41] OK Bobby Benia was a baseball player played for the Mets and he was so bad that they got rid of his contract early but and part of getting rid of his contract somehow to pay him they'd pay him one million one hundred and like
[01:09:00] ninety six thousand or something like that every year until like at least four eight or nine more years. And he like left baseball like it's like a 15 year deal. So he just left baseball and collected two million dollars a year. Yeah yeah yeah.
[01:09:18] And every year on this day here it is every July first from 2011 to 2035. Wow. Tarnan I just lost it but anyway it's a 14 twenty four year contract. Yeah 2035 they have to pay him one million one hundred and ninety seven thousand something dollars a year on this date until 2035.
[01:09:42] You pay day Bobby Benia pay day so happy pay day but I wish I was that by yourself something nice. Yeah that good and bad all at the same time. You're good enough to be in the major leagues and bad enough to get kicked out of you get
[01:09:55] kicked out and for them to say no we want to buy you out of your contract. Yeah OK. You're so bad we gave you too good a deal too good of a deal rather just pay you to do nothing to do nothing we're going to pay
[01:10:05] you a million dollars a year to do nothing. That was a great line in money ball. I don't know if I love money ball but the coach was talking to one of the players and he goes we're not paying your salary.
[01:10:18] The Yankees are paying you to not play for them. Yeah he's like we don't we don't know you anything. Yeah and the guy was like it like really knocked them down and not there but it was really funny like yeah they wanted you off
[01:10:30] their team so bad they're willing to pay us to take you from them. Yeah there we go. So on those notes on sports notes yay sports Hurray sports ball we have a ball finished up my my chocolate or chocolate my black licorice.
