[00:09:02] Lesley Highland
[00:09:06] Leslie Highland
[00:09:10] Leslie Highland
[00:09:16] Dave Filoni
[00:09:18] Jonathan neither of them. Yeah, they're not in this at all. So I find it interesting piece there was talk of like them
[00:09:26] Getting away from the writing or something like that
[00:09:28] so
[00:09:29] I mean it makes kind of sense to me that he has less of a hand in this because he hasn't really done anything
[00:09:35] With this time period. Okay, just about everything he's done is you know, it's a Skywalker Skywalker
[00:09:42] Okay, the Clone Wars era pre or Empire era
[00:09:46] So I don't know I mean I'm sure he you know as just kind of his position
[00:09:51] He knows, you know
[00:09:52] Kind of what's going on in the higher public because they're they're doing a really good job kind of weaving these things in and out
[00:09:58] but yeah, I don't know that they need his net his
[00:10:02] Hands on the wheel on something like this because it's such a new
[00:10:06] Right. It's a whole different area and like when we saw the behind-the-scenes of Mandalorian season one
[00:10:11] He was talking about oh this was from this movie and this was from this and blah blah blah
[00:10:15] And even Fabro was like wow, he got me on that, you know
[00:10:19] Since none of that
[00:10:21] Existed a hundred years previous
[00:10:24] We don't need him to it can be a whole different
[00:10:30] Genre era a whole different era of Star Wars. Yeah
[00:10:34] Yeah, so that's that so I was interested to see that at first
[00:10:38] But I get a Google alert about Star Wars and
[00:10:42] You must get a lot of emails. I get one set. I have it set just daily
[00:10:47] I don't I don't get every single time something Star Wars shows up. That would be way too much
[00:10:51] Yeah, but they give you like a rundown
[00:10:54] Give me that run down get that run down run down get the run down for me by the end of the day
[00:10:58] Rundown just send the run down. So
[00:11:01] The all these are just the headlines
[00:11:03] I'm not even gonna go into the articles except for one of them because of one of them will be useful for us
[00:11:09] Critics must be crazy. The acolyte is just another mediocre Star Wars show in Forbes
[00:11:15] The accolade creator jokes she's not into it after being told Disney show is the gayest Star Wars ever
[00:11:22] Fox News
[00:11:24] Shocking just hours after release Star Wars fans think they already know the identity of the accolades sith lord games radar
[00:11:34] Star Wars spin-off the accolade pushes LGBT ideology entertainment news Christian Post
[00:11:41] Yes
[00:11:42] Star Wars the accolade review bombed on
[00:11:46] Metacritic and rotten tomatoes from Yahoo. I don't I'm guessing that one's probably closer to true
[00:11:53] Star Wars fans think they figured out the identity of the master sith villain in IGN
[00:11:58] Introducing the cast of the acolyte from Star Wars calm that one
[00:12:01] I do want to get into after we go a little review next gonna give us a review of
[00:12:05] The books leading up to this in the era
[00:12:08] The acolyte what is the barish vow the brush the brush vow? Yeah, that's a thing
[00:12:14] That's from CBR. I don't know what that is and Star Wars the acolyte episodes 1 & 2 review from men's journal
[00:12:22] And then the acolyte review bombed on rotten tomatoes and Metacraft from screen rant. So
[00:12:28] Apparently people apparently you ever see that video apparently
[00:12:41] Kid is like 60 now, but yeah, so yeah all the articles this today
[00:12:46] All about music teacher in the middle school
[00:12:52] Apparently
[00:12:53] Apparently, but yeah, so I guess not a lot of people like it or are happy with it
[00:12:59] I think that I think that
[00:13:03] Today you
[00:13:04] You can't have a premiere without that, right?
[00:13:08] And even even like I was talking to pagan about it and getting kind of her opinion on it
[00:13:13] And I think that she is being too hard on it
[00:13:17] It's too early to get a great read on it, you know, we'll talk more about it. I thought it was really good
[00:13:22] I didn't think it was mind-blowing
[00:13:23] But I don't think after two episodes of and or we thought it was mind-blowing either, right?
[00:13:28] I mean, I thought that was like a slow burn that turned into something really different
[00:13:32] I think this feels a little more like that. Yeah
[00:13:34] But you know, it's it's the internet. So all you're gonna get are are you gonna get as negative people?
[00:13:40] Yeah, I'm angry about this and you should be too and you should be if you're not you're an idiot
[00:13:44] How dare you not be angry at this like I am yeah, so
[00:13:50] Alright, so why don't you start us off with because since that's what all the Star Wars news is right now
[00:13:56] It's just about the new show. Yeah, that's our Star Wars news segment. It sure is boom shakalaka
[00:14:01] Let's uh before you do that. Do you want to do you want to do commercial before after your segment?
[00:14:06] I think before I you know, I want to get this flow started
[00:14:10] We're gonna build all this momentum boom boom boom boom boom. Alright, so I was running out of batteries over
[00:14:14] Turn off notifications for mail. That's what I have to do next
[00:14:17] All right
[00:14:18] So we're gonna go to commercial while I turn off the notifications and then we'll be back with Nick's rundown of what?
[00:14:24] The High Republic era era era is and then we'll give you a rundown
[00:14:31] And our take of the first two episodes of the acolytes
[00:14:34] So if you didn't see it yet during this commercial break go watch it and then come right back
[00:14:39] Did you mention the rundown then the rundown?
[00:14:42] We'll have a rundown of this commercial
[00:14:46] Luckily our microphones aren't picking up
[00:14:50] Working rundown. All right, and we're back from a commercial. Hey you get that rundown for me. Did you get that rundown?
[00:14:54] Yeah, I'm just really is delightful beer. It isn't it is very good beer
[00:14:58] I always like a blonde ale because it's it's you can drink a whole bunch of them
[00:15:02] It doesn't have a lot of a lot of alcohol
[00:15:04] It's hard with like our rating system too because like it's good
[00:15:08] I'm gonna drink the whole thing and I like that but does that like for beer, right?
[00:15:13] You know to be that you know, I can't say and I'm me like, oh, that's a layer because yeah
[00:15:17] And also like a blonde ale isn't a beer that like is
[00:15:21] My gosh, it's meant to be drank and refreshing. Yeah, and that's doing the job
[00:15:27] That's exactly what this is doing
[00:15:28] So it's it would be a upper of the middle of the road because it's doing exactly what it's supposed to do
[00:15:34] But it's not something again Adam. Yes
[00:15:37] So, yeah, let's talk high Republic high Republic. So in order to talk high Republic we have to talk about
[00:15:45] When the Death Star exploded, of course because that is when we in Star Wars for whatever reason they have decided that is
[00:15:52] The start of zero years zero zero zero BBY or ABY which is after or before the Battle of Yavin
[00:16:01] so
[00:16:02] You know Star Wars a new hope happens in zero BBY
[00:16:06] the
[00:16:07] Phantom Menace happens around 37 BBY
[00:16:11] and or before the Battle of Yavin, yes and like the force awakens happens like I
[00:16:18] Want to say 40 or 50 BBY. It's like 30 years later. So maybe 30
[00:16:23] I don't know the whole thing the whole like Skywalker Saga happens in that like 60 year span, right?
[00:16:29] so that's what they and they've got
[00:16:33] Certain eras involved there. There's the
[00:16:36] the Clone Wars era
[00:16:38] there's the
[00:16:39] Or the the Republic era
[00:16:41] I think they might call it the Empire era the Galactic Empire era or that the era the ever whatever it is
[00:16:47] and then there's the
[00:16:49] era of rebellion or whatever it is the rain, okay, so the reign of the
[00:16:54] Starting with the new Jedi order all the way. Yes, so that's all the way like in the beginning
[00:16:59] Oh in the far right the new giant that's the new we'll start from we'll start with the oldest dawn of the Jedi
[00:17:04] right oldest and that's that's gonna be like the
[00:17:08] They're talking about making a movie of the first Jedi and that's gonna be around that's gonna be like
[00:17:13] 20,000 BBY and the Jedi order emerged the Republic is founded among the worlds of the galactic core and the Jedi
[00:17:18] Emerges to protect it. All right, so that's very long time ago
[00:17:23] And then we have the High Republic rights the High Republic happens between like
[00:17:28] 400
[00:17:29] Years to 100 years before the events of the Phantom Menace
[00:17:34] Yes, then we have the fall of the Jedi right that's when Phantom Menace tales of the Jedi attack of the clones
[00:17:42] The Clone Wars and revenge of the Sith all happen in the fall of the jet
[00:17:46] Right and then there's the rise of the Empire correct, right? That's all you know the rebels
[00:17:53] Bad batch a new hope fallen order solo Jedi survivor and or rebels
[00:18:00] Vader immortal that's VR game
[00:18:03] I think okay and rogue one all fall into that reign of the Empire and there's a rise of rebellion
[00:18:10] Very close right? That's that would give you partial credit for that. Appreciate it. Yeah, that's our OG trilogy
[00:18:17] That's you know new hope Empire. Yeah Jedi front two bright and squadrons
[00:18:23] That's right. Yes, and then there's the
[00:18:27] New Republic BAM hundred percent right and that happens right after like that's the after the fall of the Empire
[00:18:35] Like Battle of Jakku all the way through the rise of the or the first order, right?
[00:18:41] Correct. So the New Republic has Mandalorian Boba Fett and Ahsoka. That's that
[00:18:46] Interesting era in there and then like you said the rise of the first order and that's what Star Wars resistance, right?
[00:18:53] Whatever wasn't a very good show. I don't write too much the Force Awakens the last Jedi
[00:18:58] Star Wars
[00:18:59] I don't even know that must be a game and then the rise of Skywalker, right?
[00:19:05] This is still oh tales from the galaxy's edge. Ah
[00:19:09] Okay, there we go by now on meta quest an oculus quest
[00:19:15] Oh, yeah, that's like a tour you can get to a tour of galaxies edge
[00:19:20] Yeah
[00:19:21] Anyway, and then there's the new Jedi Republic the new Jedi or a new Jedi order
[00:19:25] That's gonna be the new Rey movie coming out right? Right and that doesn't have anything listed in Star Wars calm
[00:19:30] Right. It's to come. It's to come. Yeah
[00:19:33] But again, we're dealing primarily with the High Republic. So with the High Republic is again
[00:19:37] It's about 400 to 100 years before Phantom Menace
[00:19:42] And it's essentially the Jedi at their zenith their highest in power and hubris and and and like the height of
[00:19:49] Essentially the same for the Republic. It's the height of idealism. It's the height of like everything so
[00:19:54] This is this is the time that if you want to live in a happy time
[00:19:58] That's this is the time. This is the happy time. Yeah, there's there's plenty of stuff that goes on
[00:20:02] There's plenty of problems, but there's no so it's like a long time of galactic peace
[00:20:06] There's no like galactic scale wars going on really not like the Clone Wars in the Sith Wars and the Mandalorian Wars
[00:20:14] and so
[00:20:15] again, the first book we're introduced to the
[00:20:19] Era is light of the Jedi. It's a novel
[00:20:22] It's there's three phases right now in the literature for the High Republic
[00:20:29] and so
[00:20:31] The the book light of the Jedi is like meant to introduce you to this era and like everything is
[00:20:38] Ornate and over-the-top and like made beautiful
[00:20:41] Because they can because they can like like their lightsabers and we haven't seen much of it yet in the acolyte
[00:20:46] But their lightsabers are typically ornate and like they've got like ornamentation on them and a lot of them have cross guards and stuff
[00:20:55] Because a they didn't use them as much for about I mean, they still use them
[00:20:59] Right, but it wasn't like they were having a lot of lightsaber battles because they weren't fighting a whole lot of Sith
[00:21:03] Uh-huh there mainly they were like sparring each other
[00:21:07] And like the the architecture like was was specifically made
[00:21:12] extravagantly and like without regard for costs if yeah
[00:21:17] Be beautiful the the towers all had like gold on top of them
[00:21:21] Everything was very elegant and yeah
[00:21:23] And even like the Jedi robes like you'll notice in the in the acolyte
[00:21:26] And that this is some of the cool stuff that they that is like if you read the books it rewards you for cuz like
[00:21:33] there's different color robes for different he said like the the
[00:21:39] The temple robes are different than like the robes they wear out
[00:21:43] It's like the gold robes with the brown okay is different
[00:21:47] And the one is meant for more formal occasions like that
[00:21:49] You'll see the one where they have like the sweeping cape. Okay, yes like their temple robes
[00:21:54] As the ones where it just kind of looks like the Jedi robes
[00:21:57] But the front is like gold and say yeah, a white and they're they're very
[00:22:01] White and yellow or white and gold ish right and where very see them later. It's more military. Yes
[00:22:07] Yeah, yeah, and so again the so the books
[00:22:11] start off like at the beginning of this era around 400 and
[00:22:15] This show is happening about a hundred years after the books were given so there is some time
[00:22:20] Between like the the era of the books we have and we've gotten so far and this show
[00:22:25] Okay, kind of the big threat that we're introduced to that kind of starts this whole downhill process is a group of marauders called the
[00:22:33] Nihil okay in the Nihil there's a whole backstory to them
[00:22:36] They're their leaders a guy named Marcian row and he goes back to like this whole cult that his mom was a part
[00:22:42] Of that believed essentially that the Jedi
[00:22:45] Shouldn't be allowed to use the force there
[00:22:48] They shouldn't be trusted with it like the force was something that shouldn't be messed with
[00:22:52] And so there's a whole backstory
[00:22:54] That's what phase two of the higher republic is phase one starts with this whole higher republic phase and then phase two goes back
[00:23:00] a hundred years and kind of
[00:23:02] Checks, it's almost like the prequels sure but anyway, so the Nihil what makes them different is they have these
[00:23:09] Hyperdrive engines called path drives most just about everyone when you use hyperdrive you have to
[00:23:16] Find a hyperdrive when you have to fly out to the hyperdrive lane
[00:23:19] Okay, and you you have to fly from one point to the other using that hyperdrive lane
[00:23:24] You can't just like get out and go get into hyperdrive and you just book it from whatever wherever
[00:23:31] Because you'll probably run into something and so hyperspace lanes are specifically there because there's nothing in them
[00:23:37] I sure so they've mapped them out
[00:23:39] They know where to go and and they talk a little bit about like hyperspace
[00:23:43] Prospecting in this because a big part of the high republic and what made them so prosperous is that they started like
[00:23:51] Being able to go different places because they were discovering like traveling through hyperspace
[00:23:56] Okay, and Laura Santeca who is like the old dude from the force awakens
[00:24:01] Like you remember the very beginning there's the old guy who poe meets and he's like got the thing for him
[00:24:06] And he gets killed by Kylo Ren like look okay come yeah, his name is Laura Santeca
[00:24:11] His family were hyperspace prospectors
[00:24:13] And they like are people who charted hyperspace and they talk about their big part of this whole series
[00:24:20] So what made the nigh hill so interesting was that they have these path engines and with the path engines can do is it
[00:24:27] Means they can find ways through hyperspace
[00:24:30] that other
[00:24:33] Ships can't okay so like they can jump from one
[00:24:37] They can jump to hyperspace from really close to a planet
[00:24:42] And not get affected by the gravity well or else they can jump to the planet really good
[00:24:46] or they can like make quick tiny jumps and like be gone from here and over there and doing things that typically like
[00:24:53] Accepted thing is that's not possible in hyperspace all right, and so they became like the big threat and there was a big war
[00:25:02] It lasted a whole long time there. We still don't know how it ends. We just know that when it ends
[00:25:07] it does so in a way that like
[00:25:10] The the Jedi it starts essentially the Jedi is slow and the Republic's slow
[00:25:16] Descendancy into where we see them, okay?
[00:25:19] the the Jedi like
[00:25:21] You'll see and I think we already seen the acolyte where it was like they're becoming a little more dogmatic
[00:25:26] A little more like this is how you do it, and that's it okay?
[00:25:31] Little like brush things under there under the carpet so that we look good sort of a thing
[00:25:37] So I don't yeah, so again
[00:25:39] That's kind of the the big
[00:25:40] I don't want to like the problem is like if you tell if I tell too much more there be big book spoilers
[00:25:44] And the great thing about these books is since it's not in the Skywalker Saga
[00:25:49] And there's not like they don't have to think about okay. Where's Luke Skywalker at this time right they can do
[00:25:53] Uh-huh anything any so like there's like a lot of my complaints sometimes in the books is that nothing huge happens
[00:25:59] Okay, because it can't be right like we know of it, but like in here some stuff happens, okay even in the books
[00:26:06] Yeah, and there's really great characters. We do see I think I've mentioned
[00:26:11] We don't really get to see Yoda all that much we hear about him a lot
[00:26:15] There is a scene in one of the books where?
[00:26:18] There's a high council meeting and we see Yoda and we okay. We hear him talk about some stuff, and it's pretty interesting
[00:26:25] But there's no other character I
[00:26:28] Younger yeah a spry 600 year old
[00:26:33] You know prime of his life
[00:26:36] Yeah, he's picking up chicks at the bar afterwards you know he doesn't have his cane yet
[00:26:41] That's how that's how nimble he is what's funny is I think they even mentioned he has a cane
[00:26:44] Oh really even at six so even if he's walking around the cane 300 some odd years man right so
[00:26:51] Baby Yoda is 50 years old and it's still a toddler
[00:26:55] 300 year old Yoda has a cane so from 50 to 300
[00:27:04] Good luck out there good luck yeah
[00:27:07] So yeah again, it's again the whole point of this this era is like they're at the height of their power
[00:27:13] But they're also at the height of their hubris
[00:27:15] They they feel untouchable the
[00:27:18] They're starting to mix now more with the Republic
[00:27:22] Okay, which again is not great like right the whole thing at the beginning of us high Republic as we learn is that like
[00:27:28] There they cooperate with each other
[00:27:29] But the one is not in charge of the other like it's not like in in the prequels where it's like the Jedi
[00:27:35] Are there to serve the Republic right the Jedi are their own thing their own organization?
[00:27:41] and they're on Coruscant and they liaise with the you know the
[00:27:45] Republic and they help them when they think they need it and they feel that it's appropriate
[00:27:50] But it's not just assumed Jedi are gonna be coming to battle with right and then when the the poo hits the fan in
[00:27:57] Book I want to say now I say book number whatever
[00:28:00] But there's also comics and young adult novels that yeah in a lot of the gaps on this
[00:28:06] And you were talking about it on the last episode how neat this era is with the books because
[00:28:12] They can create a character in the young adult and then they'll go to a regular book and that person will be older or whatever
[00:28:20] But it'll still be the same character. It'll just be the next story arc for for that person
[00:28:26] Yeah, and like for example. There's a there's a character named bells at afar
[00:28:29] He's one we get in throughout the entire series and we see him at first. He's a Padawan
[00:28:35] And through the course of the books like we the first two or three books
[00:28:40] I think he's a Padawan and okay all sorts of really interesting drama with him. He's a really cool character
[00:28:45] But then like one of the at the end of the book one of the books like he does some crazy stuff
[00:28:49] And then like in the next book he's a Jedi night, okay
[00:28:53] So like we don't see that they knighted him
[00:28:55] but if you read the comics that explains that he was knighted due to this that and the other things sure and it like
[00:29:01] You can connect those dots as a reader and yeah
[00:29:04] Oh, yes, he was knighted in that but there are some of those moments where it is
[00:29:08] It pays off to kind of see some of those things. Yeah
[00:29:11] Excuse me beer always bubbles me up
[00:29:14] anyway
[00:29:16] so yeah, hi to their power how do they hubris and
[00:29:21] That's about it man
[00:29:22] It's it's a cool era that they can do a lot with and we get to start off live-action with it about a hundred years
[00:29:30] Before
[00:29:33] So it's about a hundred years after
[00:29:36] It's about a hundred years before I think the events of
[00:29:39] Phantom menace yeah because in the beginning in the scroll in the beginning it does say something along the lines of about a hundred years
[00:29:46] Before right the Phantom Menace
[00:29:48] They don't say the Phantom Menace right they say but they allude to that yeah
[00:29:53] Takes place in a time of peace although lurking in the shadows of powerful individuals a mysterious woman, okay?
[00:29:59] Yeah, so but they did say something along the lines of a hundred years before what we've seen so we know
[00:30:05] We can put it on the timeline
[00:30:07] Right minus 100 more years so you're probably like minus 130 or whatever somewhere in that area bby
[00:30:14] Yeah, bby. Yeah, so you know your thoughts Rob. What do you think? What are your initial impressions so?
[00:30:22] It's funny because when with the other shows that have come out like a Soca or
[00:30:29] Or
[00:30:31] What was the one that we really liked what it was like a war one and or
[00:30:35] Everybody's like oh, you know Star Wars needs to have lightsabers so now all you have are lightsabers
[00:30:42] So if you want lightsabers this is it this is for you
[00:30:46] I
[00:30:47] Didn't mind it
[00:30:50] Like it like we were saying like it hasn't done anything. That's like earth-shattering so far
[00:30:56] But it's not
[00:30:59] Negative for me like I enjoyed it sure I did find it funny there
[00:31:05] Well, I have you know I got the rundown of both episodes
[00:31:09] So we'll break it all the way down and talk about each and every little part
[00:31:12] But it it was amusing to me in the one part when they were in a cave and always
[00:31:17] Anything that happens in a cave is always like a turning point for Star Wars character
[00:31:22] But they couldn't see so the one guy turns his yellow lightsaber on and is using his lightsaber
[00:31:27] As a light bulb as a flashlight well that they I don't know if they pull it directly from this or from other media
[00:31:33] But you do that in the Jedi games the fallen order and survivor, okay?
[00:31:38] That's literally you press a button when you're in a dark cave
[00:31:41] And he raises and he raises the lightsaber up so that you can stay around so
[00:31:45] It wouldn't shock me if that and so the other thing that I love about the new Star Wars
[00:31:50] And I was telling this to pagan last night
[00:31:52] And I think we've mentioned it before is you know due to the older technology being what it was they were limited with the
[00:31:58] Lightsabers now with light every technology the lightsaber itself the prop emits a glow
[00:32:03] Yes, so you notice in the older Star Wars. It's just it's a light
[00:32:07] But it did nothing around it glowed nothing's glow now
[00:32:10] They can make it so like when he's got that yellow lightsaber out it got he got that yellow glow
[00:32:14] Yeah, it's a really cool effect. It's a really cool effect
[00:32:18] But you're right it is interesting to see them do that and I didn't even kind of think about it
[00:32:22] I saw him do it and I didn't think about it because I've seen it
[00:32:25] Video games yeah, but you're right
[00:32:27] It might be like the first time on live-action that we've seen I think it was almost surely the first time live
[00:32:33] Yeah
[00:32:34] We've seen them use a lightsaber as a light as a source as a flashlight
[00:32:37] And that's so now that's another thing about the High Republic
[00:32:41] That's funny that you mentioned that because like they they specifically talk about this in the books is
[00:32:47] In in our era that we're used to lightsabers are plain
[00:32:52] They don't have like like adornments and stuff sure and they think that's not great
[00:32:58] Because that's that way because they use it so much as a weapon yeah
[00:33:02] But the whole thing with the Jedi is that your lightsaber is not a weapon. It's a tool. It's a tool
[00:33:07] Yeah, like primarily. It's a tool and so
[00:33:10] Using it as a as a sword is the last thing you want to use it right?
[00:33:14] So they have all these adornments and these other things because they don't necessarily see it as a weapon
[00:33:19] It's a yes, and since they're in power and
[00:33:23] It's a time of peace. They don't really need it as a weapon as much as they do as a tool
[00:33:29] Yep
[00:33:30] Because once somebody sees four Jedi coming at them there most of the time gonna throw their hand
[00:33:35] And that's another thing too is that it's not this time where number one?
[00:33:39] In in our the High Republic or the newer era the Skywalker Saga almost all the Jedi
[00:33:45] When we're in like the Clone Wars are on Coruscant yeah, and that happened during
[00:33:50] Actually the Old Republic era or the High Republic era like that hat that started happening because of the guardian protocols
[00:33:56] Which I think we talked about yeah
[00:33:58] But in this time like Jedi
[00:34:01] Commonly did what they called outposting
[00:34:03] We're essentially like a Jedi padawan and their master would be assigned to outposts on
[00:34:09] Planets all across and we see that it we see that in the series
[00:34:12] That's what this is where with the in the very first scene and several scenes we see these outposts
[00:34:17] Yeah, and like Jedi were common
[00:34:19] It was common for planets to have Jedi people would know who they were right and they knew not to mess with yeah
[00:34:24] They're like the almost like the generals or essentially the high the high police. Yeah
[00:34:31] Yeah, I mean it was
[00:34:33] to the point where like if if like marauders around and they're like
[00:34:37] That that planet has a Jedi outpost. Yeah
[00:34:40] We'll go to we'll go to the next one over that doesn't have it
[00:34:43] And so the you know and the other thing that lightsaber like I mentioned their vectors and we saw a vector in
[00:34:48] The episode vectors were the Jedi
[00:34:51] Starfighters they kind of look like X-wings sure
[00:34:55] But in order to use the weapons on them you have to insert your lightsaber as a key
[00:35:00] Okay lightsaber powers the weapon. Okay, so number one it means that if
[00:35:06] You're going to use your weapons you have to really think about it and take your lightsaber out to do it
[00:35:10] Yeah, not anyone can just use the weapons. That's neat. Yeah, and those ships are also
[00:35:17] created in such a way that
[00:35:19] they have
[00:35:21] More mechanical part like moving parts than regular ships
[00:35:25] Okay, so that a Jedi could use the force if they needed to to
[00:35:30] Control it. Yeah, so it's really interesting. I did find it interesting that and
[00:35:36] It makes sense since there's so many Jedi in this time frame
[00:35:40] That they were able to do so many
[00:35:44] things whereas
[00:35:46] We see the Jedi during the Skywalker era
[00:35:50] Some of them can use you know force heal some of them can you know stop things some of them can do this some of
[00:35:57] Them are just really good with a lightsaber or whatever
[00:36:01] But it seems that not everybody but well I guess to get to a master at this in this time
[00:36:08] You need to be able to do it all right, you know like they can do everything at this point and then as
[00:36:14] Bad things happen and you know order 66 whatever and as the Jedi get wiped out then all that knowledge
[00:36:21] And that training gets lost and and somebody who may have survived may not have been a full master at that time
[00:36:28] So they only know how to do X things or Y things and stuff and that was also
[00:36:33] Partly due to what I mentioned the Guardian protocols
[00:36:35] And if you didn't catch the last one or you have no idea I'm talking about
[00:36:39] The Guardian protocols happened twice once in the Old Republic or the High Republic after this nihil attack
[00:36:45] And a second time in the Clone Wars and essentially it's when the Jedi like called in every Jedi to come to Coruscant
[00:36:52] Every single one uh-huh and essentially it fast-tracked
[00:36:58] training of Padawans and permission to Jedi Knights
[00:37:01] And so you have this you have
[00:37:04] Underqualified Jedi out on the field because they're losing so many Jedi right and they need to replace them to replace them
[00:37:10] Yeah, like Anakin like he didn't do Jedi trials right he was promoted to Jedi Knight without trials
[00:37:16] And like you know in the Old Republic or the High Republic
[00:37:19] I should say you know that didn't happen into the Guardian protocols
[00:37:22] So like unless you did some serious stuff you had to do these trials
[00:37:26] And yeah seven trials and like you had to you had to know your stuff
[00:37:29] Yeah, and they said each trial was different for for the different people yeah
[00:37:37] But again like it wasn't unheard of for someone not like Obi-Wan didn't take the trials because when he killed Darth Maul
[00:37:43] The first sith in however many years the council was like alright you're OG you can you're your Jedi
[00:37:50] You're Jedi Knight. No need the trials. Yeah
[00:37:53] but yeah, so a lot of
[00:37:56] Think what we see is like the crumbling the slow downfall yes because of these like fast tracking and this right we got
[00:38:03] Yeah, yeah, it's kind of like you know I mean today is the 80th anniversary of D day
[00:38:08] Yeah, it's the same thing like people were getting promoted very quickly because they needed people in the higher position
[00:38:15] So it's the same thing with this yeah
[00:38:19] He's not the only one but George Lucas Star Wars
[00:38:22] They'd like to tell
[00:38:24] History yeah like most of the stories we hear are not create are not career. Yeah, they're not original
[00:38:30] Yeah, they have already happened. It's the same thing with what's avatar is the same thing as you know the the
[00:38:38] English coming over and taking over North America and colonizing North America whatever yep
[00:38:44] There's about four stories. Yeah, yeah in the world
[00:38:48] All different variations of those four stories alright, so let's get into the
[00:38:54] What did you think I liked it again? I liked it. I thought it was a
[00:38:59] Solid start I I still don't understand why they're making them short the episode that it bothers me right like it
[00:39:08] To me I get that they're expensive to make but then
[00:39:12] They get more money. Yeah, or don't make the show yeah
[00:39:15] Like it just seems to me like you're not taking it seriously if you're like and and they're different
[00:39:22] The first episode was 40 yeah a 40 of runtime because I rewatched it today as I was at the gym
[00:39:29] And I was like I said I set the elliptical timer for 55 minutes
[00:39:33] And because I knew the second one was right around 30 minutes, right?
[00:39:35] So as I go I'll be able to watch both of them during this 55 minutes, but the first one was about 40
[00:39:41] 41 minutes of action time and then commercial which is not commercial closer to
[00:39:48] Which is close and then the second one was 35 minutes 35 minutes total with
[00:39:53] Commercials with the credits with the credits at the end yeah, so like we're talking 32 31 minutes of actual
[00:39:59] Actual screen time sometimes those creditors seven minutes long yeah
[00:40:03] So yeah, it bothers me that they're not like if you're going to do a big budget live-action Star Wars
[00:40:10] Get the money you need to do it right yeah, and give us 50 minute episodes
[00:40:15] Give us 1050 like do what Game of Thrones does yeah, it has the dragon
[00:40:19] Because if you can't tell the qualities like I don't know I have a hard time taking it seriously when I sit down and then
[00:40:25] 20 minutes later is like all right
[00:40:26] It's all over for that episode and and you know you're only getting ten episodes yep, and you're like okay
[00:40:32] I think it's eight this one might even be eight so you're you're getting eight episodes
[00:40:36] So we're a quarter the way through already. Yeah, yeah
[00:40:38] You know and like the first episode you know we only get a season two until you know four years from now
[00:40:43] Right and and you know it's one is 30 minutes, and it's eight episodes
[00:40:48] You're like come on you could have you could have given us more than that yeah again
[00:40:52] I'm I'm cavitching a little much convention. I thought it was solid. I liked it
[00:40:57] Yeah, I thought it rewarded you for reading and the books
[00:41:00] But it wasn't necessary to do in order to enjoy it, but yeah, I dug it yeah, let's dive in let's dive in
[00:41:07] So I was a little afraid
[00:41:10] Before it started because we saw a lot of Carrie Ann Moss
[00:41:14] Who is Jedi Master Indira?
[00:41:17] Yeah, we saw a lot of her in the previews a lot of her in the in the trailers
[00:41:21] And I'm like okay is she just going to be Trinity with a with a lightsaber right and you know
[00:41:28] Kind of she was and kind of she was but blessedly she died yes now there were a couple of
[00:41:35] Predictions made by people on the internet that wound up being pretty spot-on okay, that was one of them
[00:41:40] Was that she was in the opening scene?
[00:41:43] Okay, and that she was the first like target okay assassinations, which I don't mind
[00:41:48] I thought she could have been cool. I think we'll get her in flashbacks
[00:41:51] I was already to see her a little bit in a flashback
[00:41:54] Yeah
[00:41:54] I was I was hoping this that will see her in flashbacks
[00:41:57] And then I was also like when I after I watched it the first time
[00:42:00] I was like oh was their blood did she?
[00:42:03] Prepare for this type of thing that she did and there was blood so you know
[00:42:07] That's the thing with the new Star Wars now. You never know who's actually dead. Yeah, you got a double time
[00:42:13] So so I guess we're not gonna see a lot of Trinity because in the opening title and then
[00:42:20] So by the way I don't interrupt
[00:42:23] But it popped back in my head one of that's one of the things I did there are a couple things that happened
[00:42:27] That I was hoping would happen
[00:42:29] That I'm glad like one of the things I was really worried about was that they were gonna spend a lot of time
[00:42:35] like have trying to convince the Jedi that
[00:42:38] Whatever her name is is not the killer and then it was actually the other girl
[00:42:42] Yeah, it's like every time it's like like when when she watched the the dudes dead and freaking they walk in and she's like
[00:42:48] You're there. Oh, don't just don't just stand there. What are you doing idiot? Yeah, and I'm like, oh don't don't make this a whole thing
[00:42:53] And then like they're like no she didn't do it. Okay. Come on. Okay good. Yeah moving on
[00:42:57] There are so many more interesting things we can be doing right then like when the audience already knows
[00:43:02] Yeah, like it's like we know we know we know we don't need to chase this wild goose chase
[00:43:06] Because we already know so I was glad I was glad they decided not to harp on that for sure. Yeah, so
[00:43:14] The first planet that we see is a you you you you ate a you ate a you ate a you ate a
[00:43:20] What you had a sandwich you ate a sandwich you ate a burger
[00:43:24] What are you eating but I did like the town the little
[00:43:32] House that she's in the
[00:43:35] House the bar whatever was yeah, because it did
[00:43:40] Look very Star Wars. It looks very stars now. I will say
[00:43:45] also being a Star Trek fan
[00:43:48] This felt very Star Trek II to me because there were so many species
[00:43:53] Yeah, and so they are they said specifically they're leaning more into aliens in the yeah side of things
[00:44:00] So you we definitely saw way less humanoid things than we were used to or yeah
[00:44:04] anyway, and and the one one of the Jedi in the description says that she's a
[00:44:12] Half human half whatever the other species is which then led me to think about
[00:44:17] The process the process. Yeah, and the fact that
[00:44:21] All of these species
[00:44:25] Reproductive systems all work the same way that human I'm a how reproductive systems work somehow
[00:44:31] Well, I was telling you about the one character geode from the books. Okay, I ain't rock. Okay
[00:44:38] And like he we never see him move. We never see him talk
[00:44:44] But he does
[00:44:45] Like he he does he talks to people
[00:44:48] Around he like and like there's the one scene where apparently he's in all sorts of trouble cuz he was hitting on this woman's wife
[00:44:56] He wouldn't even be able to like they're right, they're not compatible. They can't mate with each other
[00:45:01] They can't like in their thoughts. They were like I hope they don't look into that
[00:45:06] I don't think that's true. I don't think that's true. I'm a rock a giant rock. Yeah, so
[00:45:12] The bad girl comes in to the bar may yes may comes into the bar and I did it was
[00:45:20] Interesting because she said it twice attack me with all of your strength all of your power
[00:45:26] Whatever that's pagan mentioned this today, too. And she's right. It screams George Lucas
[00:45:32] Writing. Yes, and I think I see where there I'm sure at like whenever the master like sent her on this errand
[00:45:39] He said you need you must have them attack you with all of their strength or whatever and so she's parroting that yeah
[00:45:45] But it is pretty lame. It is pretty lame and it is very it's very Sith esque because the Sith, you know
[00:45:51] power comes from hatred and anger and then
[00:45:55] the other I mean you mentioned the
[00:45:57] Like article that people think they know who this is, but
[00:46:01] I'm sure they're thinking exactly who I think it is and I'm sure we're all wrong and it's not gonna be that person
[00:46:07] It's gonna be somebody else that we don't know. I mean, they're really leaning heavy on the fact that ooh, maybe it's her friend
[00:46:13] The the guy who like sold her out
[00:46:17] The guy who was the guy who was making the spice for them or whatever that guy yeah, he was cheaty or not
[00:46:23] She yeah, he was Jason. Yeah, he's Jason from from a good good place. Good place
[00:46:28] Yeah, and I like that's what I think I think man this guy he's like a kind of high-profile star
[00:46:34] I could see him kind of being badass and is for that reason that I think that I must be wrong that it's not going
[00:46:39] Because I think that they're thinking that yeah, they already thought this thing
[00:46:42] Yeah, it's gonna be somebody else that we don't know and it's just gonna be another
[00:46:46] like
[00:46:48] Sith person just like when we first saw Darth Maul, you know wasn't somebody
[00:46:52] And then there'll be a great backstory built up about who this person is and I'm like fun except if it's no
[00:46:57] Cuz that but that with Snoke. They just decided no backstory. He's just a clown
[00:47:02] No backstory, he's just a clown. He's just a clown. Yeah, and that's it
[00:47:05] This is actually the first coming of power. This is this is actually snow. It's the real surreal snow
[00:47:10] This is who the clone of Snoke was. This is the real guy
[00:47:14] Oh, man, I don't hate that. I'm annoyed that I don't hate I said
[00:47:20] Wait a minute because I would help it is me
[00:47:22] Yeah, cuz then it would actually lend some credence to the fact that Snoke was freaking anybody the bright, right?
[00:47:28] Alright, I don't hate let's let's go with that for now. That is we're just gonna call him Snoke
[00:47:32] We're gonna master is Snoke and you heard it here first. You heard it here first
[00:47:37] Um, I did like the kung fu
[00:47:40] That was going on great battle. Yeah, really all the fight scenes were really well done
[00:47:44] Yeah, and I liked again we talked about the hubris of the Jedi in this era
[00:47:47] I like how like I know it's kind of the the kung fu thing
[00:47:52] But like they were really it seems insistent on in the choreography
[00:47:57] The Jedi should look like they are trying as absolutely little as possible. Yeah
[00:48:02] Oh my they were all just kind of like everyone was
[00:48:05] like I
[00:48:06] Took karate two different times in my life for a couple of years each time
[00:48:10] And I always wanted to get to that point where you didn't have to fight
[00:48:15] Yeah, you just knew where they were going and you just avoided them the whole time and you're like
[00:48:21] You look like an idiot because I'm just moving away from you every single time
[00:48:26] I never got to that point. But but yeah, so I thought the fight was really good and then I
[00:48:33] Wasn't too fond of
[00:48:35] Carrie-Anne Moss getting tricked as easily as she yeah it like again. She was a Jedi master
[00:48:41] I thought the same like
[00:48:43] in the books there's a Jedi master who her her and another person are flying vectors in space and
[00:48:51] they get into a like they get hit by something and
[00:48:55] she manages to
[00:48:57] find with the force all the pieces of glass and
[00:49:01] Put them in a spot so that or all the pieces of debris
[00:49:04] Okay, I find the breaks in the glass of this guy's cockpit. So he's not sucked out in the vacuum of space
[00:49:10] Okay, we're talking minuscule. Yeah
[00:49:13] Micro-c can't stop these three daggers as well as these three daggers
[00:49:17] Right and not realize that that she threw this on purpose because you're going to save the guy, right?
[00:49:24] And not think that she has a second one. Yeah ready, you know
[00:49:30] So I don't know it seemed it seemed like a like a cop out a little bit
[00:49:34] Yeah, we need to kill her somehow. Let's do this
[00:49:37] But they did also give us a little
[00:49:40] Early clue that may is not a total monster right because right
[00:49:44] You just then killed the bartender didn't kill the bartender because the baby the baby
[00:49:48] Oh my god, the baby was the cutest thing ever like horrible if I want to
[00:49:52] I
[00:49:53] Was gonna say I want to see that bartender more but when we saw him the second time I was like
[00:49:57] Why are you there? Yeah, honestly get out of here. Get out of here. This is just a way
[00:50:00] Not the place for you now, but but yeah, like the baby was really cute was almost it was reminiscent of
[00:50:07] Was it in rebels?
[00:50:09] When they had to find the it wasn't rebel
[00:50:13] The force babies and there was the one baby. He was like
[00:50:18] He had the big eyes also, but he was like he would just like make always crying all the time forget
[00:50:23] I forgot but anyway, but yeah, he just reminded me him. So yeah
[00:50:27] So at babies are always cute and baby animals are cute. Here's the big eyes and whatever
[00:50:31] so yeah, so we don't we carry and moss got got
[00:50:35] Eliminated rather quickly as far as we know unless she is the Sith Lord. You never know could you never know could be
[00:50:43] so then
[00:50:44] But it was interesting she when she took her mask off she was like, it's you yeah, and I was like, okay
[00:50:50] Does she know it's May or does she think that it's?
[00:50:54] Osha
[00:50:56] Right. I mean
[00:50:58] Could be either right and and and the the May OSHA
[00:51:03] Saying that they set together when they were kids
[00:51:06] You are with me and I'm with you always one but born as two, right?
[00:51:10] For a while there I was thinking like is this an alter ego of herself type of thing
[00:51:17] But it's apparently they're straight-up twins right now, but I have a feeling that there's a deeper connection there
[00:51:22] Yeah, and I get the feeling that when at the beginning
[00:51:26] I thought you know one's the bad guy one's a good guy and the bad guy is
[00:51:29] Manipulating her with these visions of them as babies, right? But they pretty clearly may was not
[00:51:36] Like when she saw her she was like, oh my god, it's my sister
[00:51:39] Dead so she wasn't luring her sister to her with yeah
[00:51:43] Yeah, which means to me someone else's yeah giving them these visions get him together
[00:51:48] Which Snoke also does no could do that. He did that with that with Ray and yeah, and it's Snoke
[00:51:54] I'm telling you people out there think I'm crazy, but they're all gonna be like check this dude. Check this dude out
[00:52:00] She did say quote that a Jedi doesn't pull out her weapon unless she's prepared to kill
[00:52:05] Which was interesting because she did not then put it away she was like well you see what's happening you started this
[00:52:12] So I'm gonna have to finish this
[00:52:15] and then
[00:52:17] Then we see
[00:52:19] May laying in a bed
[00:52:22] Waking up from a nightmare and they they but it wasn't May
[00:52:26] We find out rather quickly that it's OSHA and not May and it's like oh and somebody pointed out
[00:52:33] Even though they haven't seen each other in say 16 years or whatever it is the same hair. They're the same hair
[00:52:39] One is just slightly longer. Yes, so it's pretty funny
[00:52:42] But then she comes out of her she comes out of her bunk and her friend says
[00:52:47] And as soon as they heard this I was like, oh my gosh Nick. They finally they are listening
[00:52:51] Yeah, I thought the same thing. I was like, I hope Rob catches. Yeah, he's like he's like
[00:52:54] How can we to come to Narsha doll with us last night? I was like, yes
[00:52:58] They do listen to our show they know that we want a Narsha doll reference appreciate it
[00:53:03] So that was for you finally how many years have we been waiting? Yeah, we've been waiting for years six years
[00:53:09] So then she she goes out to work on some space junk. Yeah, it's very
[00:53:16] Fitting that her name is OSHA. Uh-huh considering her job
[00:53:23] Apparently and the cool thing about this
[00:53:25] Scene too that ties it into our era is that they're on a Trade Federation
[00:53:31] Ship ship. Yeah, and they're nemoidians who are piloting it and again, we're talking about, you know, George Lucas Star Wars
[00:53:38] They write real right? Yeah, they don't write news stories the right things that happen
[00:53:41] Here is the greedy Trade Federation who literally by the way the reason they have Senate representation is because they're a group of the largest
[00:53:50] banks and
[00:53:52] Marketers in the galaxy and they became so powerful that they earned a seat on Senate. Yes sounds familiar
[00:53:58] anyway
[00:54:00] Soapbox removed. Yes
[00:54:03] So what we also see is like the nemoidians and the Trade Federation
[00:54:08] regarding their
[00:54:10] Bottom dollar and their profit. Yes more regard than there than the people who work for them, right?
[00:54:15] Because they're saying oh, they're expendable the our stuff is not
[00:54:19] So again corporate greed, yeah, and it was corporate greed is essentially what Star Wars is about that's true 100%
[00:54:27] They also talk about
[00:54:30] They never have to use the shields right which is interesting because then when they get to
[00:54:37] The Star Wars era their shields are super strong because they now need them to be super strong because they're not even though
[00:54:45] They're still the one of the most powerful but now there's all these people trying to attack them and stuff. Oh, yeah
[00:54:50] so
[00:54:52] We see her going out and she's still
[00:54:55] has a
[00:54:57] She sees the fire which I don't know how there's fire in space. Yeah that really confused me
[00:55:03] I see something about that too because you know you you need
[00:55:06] You need
[00:55:07] Fuel you need oxygen. Yeah, and you need that's it right? Yeah, you need those two things
[00:55:14] Yeah, and in space there's no oxygen. No last I checked. Yes. I mean Peggy was like well
[00:55:19] Maybe they're like in atmosphere enough that they're getting some is like yeah, I don't think so
[00:55:25] But it was it was very strange. It was whatever and if there was oxygen she wouldn't have needed her her helmet
[00:55:30] Yeah, you I would think I got to remind myself. It's not science. It's not science. It's fantasy. Yeah
[00:55:35] So then she knows she's trying to fix it or whatever and and then as they're trying to fix it
[00:55:41] A spaceship flies by and they say oh there's Jedi coming and then one of her friends says oh the friends of yours or whatever
[00:55:49] So then the biggest tool in the Jedi Order
[00:55:53] Yord you're such a tool man your fan are and his pot Padwan
[00:55:59] Tazzy Loa, I guess something like that sure
[00:56:02] They seek a former Jedi named OSHA and Nisa and Niza
[00:56:07] The good twin and then during
[00:56:12] During the exchange we find out that only droids are allowed to repair the ships
[00:56:17] Yeah, but she says you know I'm better company than a droid. So that's why they hire me
[00:56:23] But yeah, Yord
[00:56:25] Look if if I had your words physique. Yeah, dude looks good. He's I would not be wearing a robe either
[00:56:32] Sure, I'd be I'd be steaming my robe. I'd be steaming my robe all day. Yes
[00:56:36] So so your says we have to take you in because you did this and she said no this lady
[00:56:41] She said I was here
[00:56:44] He's like, yeah prove it. She's like I can't
[00:56:47] Okay. Well, you got to come with certainly none of these people were here overnight, right?
[00:56:50] Well, they were all in our shit. So nobody and she didn't go so she could have gone anywhere
[00:56:56] So then your confronts OSHA we learned she left the Jedi Order six years ago. So this is a
[00:57:03] Interesting they talk about how the Jedi master that was just killed was the one that
[00:57:09] And they were leaning into prevented her from getting her Jedi master
[00:57:14] But then she quickly cuts him off and says oh I left right so
[00:57:19] There's something going on there that hopefully in the next six episodes. We find out what
[00:57:26] She did to prevent her from becoming a Jedi, right? But then also when she's in jail
[00:57:32] On the prison ship. That's also
[00:57:34] There's no humans on this prison ship
[00:57:37] Which you know you just put somebody in who killed supposedly killed a Jedi
[00:57:42] And you didn't have any Jedi there to make sure she gets to where she's going
[00:57:46] I need to who needs it right to go to the job. Yep. She can't use the force
[00:57:51] No, she sucks. She sucks
[00:57:53] worst Jedi ever
[00:57:55] No wonder they get her out even Sabine used the force. Yeah. Yes
[00:58:00] Be time in a Jedi and she could use the force
[00:58:04] So they said something to her about attachments to the ones we lost are the most difficult to let go yours says stiffly
[00:58:10] The this one article they were talking about how stiff the Jedi are and how very robotic like they are
[00:58:18] But but yeah, so they say that she killed master Indira. She's on the ship
[00:58:24] the other criminals
[00:58:27] the one dude was cool with the
[00:58:30] Tongue that came out of the top of his head
[00:58:33] You're crying you're very upset about him the tongue that came out the top of his head
[00:58:37] Hey, they're like he thing came out of the top of his head. He grabbed the robot as he was walking by
[00:58:44] That oh, that's right. Yeah. Yeah strangled him. That's right out of the top of his head
[00:58:49] It was like another arm or whatever it was
[00:58:53] pulls him and
[00:58:54] Rips his head off then rips his arm off and uses his arm. Yeah to open up the the jail cells
[00:59:05] Yeah, yeah, and it was the
[00:59:10] Parasite that they put on the guy's mouth
[00:59:13] That was weird. That was pretty cool. It was they're like she was like is it hurting him and they're like no
[00:59:19] He's in a really good place. So he's like totally stoned out of his mind
[00:59:24] So it's pretty funny and then
[00:59:26] I did laugh when he they took the parasite out and he just ran into the pot
[00:59:30] He just ran right to the thing really made me laugh and then OSHA was like wait, what about me?
[00:59:34] Yeah, and then she dropped in. Yeah, so she straps it. It was neat seeing the seats going from
[00:59:43] Yeah, that was pretty cool
[00:59:46] So then of course, oh and because whatever they did I don't even know how they forced it out of
[00:59:55] Hyperspace mode but whatever they did they for the one bad guy who and like a head on top of a robot
[01:00:02] He somehow was able to force it out of hyperspace mode
[01:00:05] And of course it came out in a spot that it shouldn't have come in right in front of a planet right in
[01:00:09] Front of a planet, but also in an asteroid field. So it's bouncing all over the place that looked very
[01:00:16] Silly to me. Yeah the way it was bouncing around it looked very silly to me, but I don't know
[01:00:21] Maybe I'm just over what I'd have a look over it again. Yeah, so then
[01:00:25] She straps into the only chair that has this has a strap on it, which is what they had like buckets
[01:00:30] I don't know why they were strapping the buckets in there, but whatever and then oh we meet her little droid
[01:00:37] pip
[01:00:38] handheld droid yeah
[01:00:40] It's a Blackberry droid
[01:00:43] Imagine your phone could talk to you. I know it can already it's already listening. Yep. Yeah
[01:00:48] So it it'll be interesting to see how useful that thing actually becomes
[01:00:54] Because it can't walk you can't do anything
[01:00:56] I'm sure it will save the day in a ridiculous way. Uh-huh, and then it will sell
[01:01:01] So many toys so many toys there's gonna be so many
[01:01:05] because it makes
[01:01:07] Spinging noises baby literally so it as a little thing that kids yeah that the kids are just gonna play with and maybe they can
[01:01:13] They'll move around the top piece and whatever lights will show up or whatever
[01:01:18] so then
[01:01:20] Oh, so then a thing crashes and of course
[01:01:24] The same people go down because the the guy from squid games. Yes
[01:01:31] What was his master something yes
[01:01:35] Where is he squid game master squid games? He's like oh she was my pad one. I will go find her
[01:01:42] But yeah, he was from squid games
[01:01:44] So they go down and of course right away nobody could survive this your boy Yord says
[01:01:51] And they say uh you know maybe they could be they good
[01:01:54] They might have been able to maybe we look and then he he feels her squid games feels her
[01:02:00] Presence and he starts chasing her into a cave and then in a very Harrison Ford
[01:02:10] I didn't kill my wife. I didn't kill my wife. I don't care
[01:02:16] Again I was very glad that there wasn't this big like I didn't kill her that I'm glad
[01:02:22] Yeah, that and did she just jumped to win the lamb. I'm glad that was like a all right
[01:02:26] We believe you let's let's move the plot on let's move the plot on yeah
[01:02:30] So then she slips because it's of course an ice planet on a cave up in a hundred thousand feet in the air and
[01:02:37] Then squid games saves the day freezes her brings her back up and then he says yeah
[01:02:43] I know you didn't kill her because then he's also
[01:02:46] On the phone with another Jedi master. Yes, true row
[01:02:50] Yeah, and they're like yes may attack somebody else while she was in your custody
[01:02:55] So we know she didn't do it. Yeah, why he didn't share that with your word and Tashi
[01:03:01] I have no idea but he was like no we're just going over here to try and figure out what happened
[01:03:06] Yep, and whatever and then the the guy that they run into
[01:03:12] When I first I was watching it on my phone. So of course, it was very small screen
[01:03:16] I thought he was standing at first when when the Jedi Masters in the meditative state
[01:03:21] Yeah, and then I see his knees out in front of him and I'm like wait what and I realized that was just his cape
[01:03:27] Was just hanging down
[01:03:29] He had the weirdest
[01:03:31] Like receding hairline. Yes, like he has a widow's peak, but it was way back here
[01:03:35] You know, I mean, yeah, it was like and
[01:03:38] Kind of a brainiac or something there was um, I
[01:03:42] Can't find where it is. Oh, I'm a little ahead
[01:03:48] the
[01:03:51] That must be in the next that must be in the next episode. Okay, cuz then we we
[01:03:57] She says I didn't do it
[01:03:58] He says I know and then we cut the May wandering along the beach where creepy Kylo Ren looking figure performs a monologue
[01:04:04] And says an acolyte kills without a weapon and act like kills the dream and that's the end of the first episode
[01:04:10] And he takes out his lightsaber, right?
[01:04:13] Shows you the red lightsaber. I'm the bad guy. I'm the bad guy. Mine is red. I broke the crystal
[01:04:18] It's like at the end of solo and mall goes like this and gets his lightsaber out
[01:04:22] Uh-huh does nothing with it and does nothing when I have a lightsaber
[01:04:25] Yeah, I want to hologram but I can't do anything with it
[01:04:28] But I have a lightsaber just once you know that I have this lightsaber
[01:04:31] So then episode 2 starts up may walk into galaxies edge Disneyland
[01:04:37] It did look a lot like that now it wasn't it would have been really cool
[01:04:41] I would have liked it and I also would have liked it if they referenced it and this business outpost
[01:04:47] Supposedly right hundreds of years old. Yeah
[01:04:50] Blackspire would have been really cool if they did reference it as black spire that would have made it really really cool
[01:04:55] But they haven't done that yet
[01:04:58] So then she goes to master Torben sneaks up behind master Torben and tries to execute him with more throwing knives
[01:05:05] But he's got that force bubble around them. He's got a force field and then because he has taken the barash vow
[01:05:10] Yes, that is what he has done. So the barash vow for those not in the know is a
[01:05:16] Vow taken by a Jedi who?
[01:05:19] feels they need to separate themselves from the Jedi and the force for some act of penance or
[01:05:24] Excuse me penitence
[01:05:26] Or something like usually they'll go out into
[01:05:30] seclusion oftentimes like in the wilderness and live alone
[01:05:34] And cut themselves off from the force for however long they need
[01:05:37] Usually they don't just find an outpost and find a room and say I'll be in this room for the next decade, right?
[01:05:45] That's that's who I said he looked like Neil Patrick Harris
[01:05:48] He did in in a series of unfortunate events was it was a kids movie that he was in
[01:05:54] He kind of looked like him and at first I thought it was him and so I wasn't gonna be too upset
[01:06:02] Cameos that would take us. I was worried we're gonna like a Lizzo moment. Yeah. Yeah a Jack Black Lizzo moment
[01:06:09] Yeah, we didn't see any of those which is good
[01:06:11] They decided to spend all the money on making sure that the scripts were nice and long
[01:06:15] Yeah
[01:06:17] So large font I did like during this first encounter with him
[01:06:21] She's like trying to fight him and everything she does is just stopped by this invisible force bubble and she's like well
[01:06:28] Maybe if I try from this angle, you know, I'll try this
[01:06:31] I'll throw daggers at the force. I'll throw daggers at it. See what that does
[01:06:34] No, none of this works and then and then somebody starts to come in so then she disappears
[01:06:39] So then we're back and then this is when he find out, you know, we're going there instead
[01:06:45] And they take OSHA along for the ride
[01:06:50] At this point like they know that she didn't do it he knows that she didn't do it but I feel like why isn't he
[01:06:58] Sharing this information, but whatever
[01:07:01] so then they
[01:07:03] Head over to a local black market dealer for helping killing a turban
[01:07:09] She's surprised chill wandering around in broad daylight. Oh, yeah
[01:07:13] She's just like walking around the the May
[01:07:17] and
[01:07:18] Then may goes and she talks to this guy. She talks to
[01:07:22] Creeping the creepers in yeah, what's his name from? I just said it Jimmy Jason Jason Jason and
[01:07:29] He's she's like you weren't supposed to use you weren't supposed to sample the merchandise. He was like I was bored
[01:07:35] There was no, you know, I'm waiting for you to come back
[01:07:37] So of course and he's so sounded just like regular Jason. Yeah, he was the exact same
[01:07:43] Yeah, the same character whatever
[01:07:46] But I liked them in that and I like them in this so far
[01:07:49] He's you know, but then he makes her the spell. He tells her you got it. You got a
[01:07:57] Says something on how he can beat him without a weapon you you got to give him what he wants type of thing
[01:08:02] Right, and he says the thing he says pieces a lie
[01:08:05] Yeah
[01:08:05] The Jedi do whatever because I mean a piece with pieces a lie
[01:08:09] Which again is another could be another red herring could be another dog whistle
[01:08:13] But like that's the first line of the Sith Code pieces a lot. This is a lie, but in the trailer
[01:08:19] He says it in the show. He starts it and she finishes it. She finishes. Oh, okay
[01:08:26] So then she she goes back to Torben
[01:08:29] she gives him a choice confess what he did to the Jedi Council or die and
[01:08:34] I'm out of here. He says okay fine. He goes I've been meditating for ten years thinking about this and
[01:08:39] Perfect. I'll die
[01:08:40] so then
[01:08:42] Osha and the whole crew come and there I don't say they were arguing with the guy out front but
[01:08:49] It was such a stupid like we need to go see him now and the guys like well
[01:08:56] He's meditating and blah blah. No pal
[01:08:59] Take me there now because time is sensitive and of course if they want to talk to him
[01:09:06] They would have gotten there when May was there and they could have stopped it
[01:09:09] Yeah, but they didn't so then and then Osha sees her younger sister, right?
[01:09:16] and she leads her in the back door into where the
[01:09:22] where
[01:09:24] Torben is meditating and
[01:09:26] She finds him dead. She's the first one to find him dead and again. This is that's my room
[01:09:30] Like come on just just walk out. Yeah
[01:09:33] Don't why are you getting closer? Why are you leaning down? Why are you picking up the vile, right?
[01:09:37] Why are you getting your fingerprints on everything stop touching things? You're going to be a keen MacGyver
[01:09:44] So then you know the the house guard comes in and pulls out his blue lightsaber right away
[01:09:49] And he's ready to kill her and then your boy Torb not Torben
[01:09:54] What's his tube tour?
[01:09:56] Texas name the guy that you you're like the goofy guy Johnny Bravo Johnny Bravo
[01:10:03] Your word your word your word your word comes. I was watching her the whole time
[01:10:09] She didn't do it and he says it's like such a prick. Yeah, you're like, ah
[01:10:15] She did not do it. I was telling her the whole time. I was behind her the whole time
[01:10:20] I know I never took my eyes off her. I was never for a moment
[01:10:27] I
[01:10:29] Started singing the police
[01:10:31] Quietly as I was following her as I was I was behind her very softly singing
[01:10:37] So yeah, so he he vouches for her. She's
[01:10:42] She's innocent a second time
[01:10:44] I'm not gonna sing it too much because we're gonna get DC. We're gonna get DC. I made yeah
[01:10:48] So then a soca seek out they
[01:10:51] But then this was also funny when he was like, okay, here's what we're gonna do
[01:10:54] We're gonna go to that black market dealer. We're gonna charge in there. We're gonna arrest him
[01:10:59] We're gonna take him off to the ship and we're gonna make them talk and the child is like the padawan by the padawan
[01:11:05] I just like you're an idiot. You're a dummy. Why doesn't she go in? She looks just like him. Did you see?
[01:11:14] What was it called monster
[01:11:18] Wasn't little monsters. It was way before
[01:11:21] Now this is this is this is in the 80s little monsters in the 80s. I
[01:11:26] Don't think it was that it was the one where
[01:11:29] They
[01:11:33] There's vampires they had to have like a
[01:11:37] Virgin and the one girl was like once bitten. Yeah, maybe once bit or twice
[01:11:42] It was with a Jim Carrey. No. No, this is even older
[01:11:46] Okay, this is even older but it was a bunch of kids. There were a lot of teen
[01:11:50] Yeah, these were like kids who were like it was the one where they said wolf man's got nards
[01:11:56] They kicked wolf man in the nards
[01:11:58] But anyway, anyway in in it they go they said something like we need a virgin's blood or something like that to fight off
[01:12:06] The vampire and the older sister was like, oh, I'm a virgin and then later on they go
[01:12:11] It's not working and she goes well Johnny doesn't count. Oh my god the brothers like Johnny doesn't count
[01:12:17] What are you talking about? But then the other kid goes
[01:12:21] There's like a little sister who's like four and they go isn't she a bird?
[01:12:25] And they go. Oh, yes, and then they take a little dip dab or her blood or whatever
[01:12:29] I got you but Wolfman's got nards. Look at that line. I did the monster squad monster squad. That's it
[01:12:36] Yes, yeah, cuz there's also a movie. I think it was a movie called wolf man's got an heart
[01:12:42] Oh, no, that's so funny. No, that was from the monster squad. Yeah, so all that was from the monster squad
[01:12:47] So that was one of my favorite movies as a kid. I'm not violent
[01:12:50] That's funny wolf man's got nards is a 2018 documentary on the impact of the film the monster squad on its fans cast and crew
[01:12:57] That's so funny. So there you go
[01:12:59] So yes, there was a great line in the movie
[01:13:02] Kick him in the Nards wolfing doesn't have Nards kick him in the Nards and he kicks home and Wolfman
[01:13:07] Buckles over and then he goes
[01:13:09] I don't know how we got onto that. I don't know either
[01:13:12] But anyway, so
[01:13:13] Games got Nards games got Nards
[01:13:15] So then they go to the black market guy and then and then OSHA goes in thinking he's pretending to be main
[01:13:22] He's like you're weird
[01:13:24] And then it was getting weirdly flirty with her too. He was yeah, so
[01:13:29] So they're trying to lay a trap for him, but then the Jedi come in and they say okay
[01:13:34] That's enough of this blah blah blah, whatever
[01:13:37] And then he says may your alive. She tosses a blade into the dirt and you're a horrible shot. Okay, so
[01:13:42] Then there's more fighting
[01:13:45] Which was good. I like we said earlier all the fighting in this was really good
[01:13:49] But there he says like who trained you and that's when he finds out
[01:13:54] He says something like you don't even know who trained you so she doesn't even know who her master is
[01:14:00] I'm guessing he's behind a mask. Well, we do see that helmet on the guy. Yeah, it looks like the
[01:14:07] The the inquisitor we see in a Soka who turns out to be nothing but green gas. Yes. Yes
[01:14:15] So I rock wasn't it Marock or some Iraq. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah when they they finally they stab him and yeah
[01:14:23] so
[01:14:24] luckily
[01:14:26] Yord was there to save the day because
[01:14:30] She threw another knife right at squid games and Yord
[01:14:36] Deflected it away with his force powers
[01:14:39] To protect them and then at the end
[01:14:42] Osha sees her sister getting in the car and
[01:14:48] she has
[01:14:49] The which was on stun because it was a blue circle
[01:14:52] She has the gun all lined up and then in very typical
[01:14:57] I'm gonna save my twin fashion
[01:14:59] She misses this shot right and then misses a second shot just to make sure everybody knew that she was really trying
[01:15:05] I was trying I was trying look I shot at her twice. Yeah, this she dodged it
[01:15:10] I'm a future stormtrooper. I can't help it. That's right. Yeah, I
[01:15:15] Had this helmet on and and it made everything off off balance
[01:15:19] And so then we go off to Kofar
[01:15:23] Which is very far away
[01:15:25] How far Kofar? Oh, okay. Yes go far away, which is a planet full of Wookiees
[01:15:30] Which is great because we get to kind of see is it a planet full
[01:15:33] Yeah, they said they said they said it they said it's like a wookie planet
[01:15:36] Yeah, and then we see I forget the guy's name but we do see a wookie Jedi at the very end. Yes
[01:15:42] Yes, we see we see two idiots who are like, oh, let's go rob this place
[01:15:48] And then the wookie Jedi
[01:15:51] Pulls the weapons away and then breaks them breaks them essentially we get the beginning of Shrek here. Yes
[01:16:00] We got this old guy living in a swamp
[01:16:02] It's my swamp get out of my swamp, this is my swamp. That's it. Yeah, but we all need to live here says Pinocchio
[01:16:09] We're about to leave me Lord Farquaad. We did Lord Farquaad kicked us all out. That's right. You can't come to my swamp
[01:16:16] Yeah, so that's that's the way it ends and then it doesn't very abruptly
[01:16:20] It doesn't end in pagan average kind of like and like and short because the first episode was 40
[01:16:26] So wasn't too bad
[01:16:27] The second episode was little over 30 and just was like, okay, we're gonna do a commercial break here
[01:16:32] We're gonna stop this and like hey, here's a wookie
[01:16:34] Yeah, I can't think of a good way to end it. But hey, you've never seen a wookie Jedi before look at us wookie Jedi
[01:16:39] he
[01:16:39] He pulled the
[01:16:42] Weapons to him and then he goes into his it was funny if you looked at the house
[01:16:46] It looked like they had to make the door taller for him
[01:16:52] Which made me laugh
[01:16:54] And that's the first quarter of the acolyte that is the first quarter of the acolyte all done that fast
[01:16:59] Yeah, so again, I think it I like it. I like where it's going
[01:17:03] I hope they continue this trajectory of not giving us like exactly what we're expecting right?
[01:17:10] And I am going to continue to hope without much faith that they can't freakin longer episodes. Yeah, I think you're you're
[01:17:19] Barking up a dead horse there. I don't know if that's the right term
[01:17:22] I love that you just took barking up at the wrong tree
[01:17:26] Beating a dead horse and put them together together. Yeah beating up a dead beating up the wrong horse
[01:17:31] You're beating up the wrong horse beating up barking up your barking up a dead horse barking up a dead horse or beating up the
[01:17:38] Wrong tree. Yes. So yeah, whatever it is. We're doing the wrong thing here
[01:17:42] That's not gonna happen. I hate to tell you that you're yeah, it's okay, but a man can dream a man can dream
[01:17:48] That's what Walt Disney did yeah and look where it got him look where it got dead
[01:17:53] He would have been 110 but it's what he but he's dead
[01:17:58] And all that's what you get for following your dream. That's right. So yeah, well
[01:18:03] Is it one episode released next time or I think it's just the one so
[01:18:08] Where's my mouse?
