[00:00:00] [SPEAKER_00]: On this episode of Bantha Milk Podcast, Star Wars gets cancelled. Oh, no

[00:00:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, we're back from our like month-long hiatus. Could you see the word hiatus? I was gonna use that word too. That's a good word

[00:00:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we are good to see you Nicholas. I love our we are back Bantha Milk podcast

[00:00:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we are their band camp is over band which means that my life returns to semi normalcy

[00:00:49] [SPEAKER_02]: So, unfortunately, you know, this is one of those podcasts where we do have to make some really bad

[00:00:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Announcements and I do apologize to start the podcast this way. But unfortunately Rob's beard is gone gone

[00:01:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah

[00:01:02] [SPEAKER_02]: In the month since I've been here, I guess my my influence has waned such that the beard simply fell away

[00:01:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it just fell away because you're not here saying oh, I love the beard

[00:01:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so it doesn't feel the love and it just falls out. Although I did miss the entire chin

[00:01:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, you got some chin stuff. I got some chin stubble there. All right. Well for for just two cents a day

[00:01:22] [SPEAKER_02]: You can support Rob's beard. That's right

[00:01:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Send send us your credit card information to Bantha milk podcast at gmail.com

[00:01:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Once again Bantha milk podcast at gmail.com

[00:01:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Save Rob's beard save that being said say Rob's here. Oh, you already cracked yours

[00:01:35] [SPEAKER_02]: I did I will tell you I got it's been it's been a couple weeks

[00:01:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm having a rough one. So Rob supplied me with this evil genius

[00:01:44] [SPEAKER_02]: There's no crying in baseball

[00:01:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Hazy mango and it's good man. You like the mango. We didn't have glasses. I forgot that's okay

[00:01:53] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't I never really need them. Well, I also am drinking evil genius, but I'm drinking Stacy's mom

[00:01:59] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, I've heard from a reliable source that she has got it going on. She does it's a citra IPA

[00:02:05] [SPEAKER_02]: So true. I sit right different than citrus. Yes. Okay. It's missing the letter s

[00:02:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Shouldn't have known staring right at me. All right, here we go

[00:02:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh

[00:02:19] [SPEAKER_02]: That was a very good pop. That was nice stuff right there. All right, good for you

[00:02:22] [SPEAKER_02]: All right. Give me what what notes you get in there Rob? What do you got?

[00:02:27] [SPEAKER_02]: notes of

[00:02:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Stacy's mom

[00:02:30] [SPEAKER_00]: At all this episode is rated E for explicit

[00:02:37] [SPEAKER_00]: So for an IPA it's not very overly hoppy I think it's the citra that's coming

[00:02:41] [SPEAKER_00]: It was the same with this doesn't taste like an idea

[00:02:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not much of an IPA drinker, but I could drink this is like I can smell the hops on top of it

[00:02:49] [SPEAKER_00]: So that it is good. Can you smell the hops on it? Does he get a little hoppy flavor there? Like almost like

[00:02:54] [SPEAKER_02]: The mango is really strong

[00:02:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Mainly that that's good

[00:02:58] [SPEAKER_02]: But again for me, that's a good thing because I'm not much on the hoppiness, right?

[00:03:02] [SPEAKER_00]: And the same thing with this like it does have the hoppiness of the beer

[00:03:06] [SPEAKER_00]: But then the citra which is different than citrus sure discovered OS. I know it's only one citra

[00:03:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Several citruses

[00:03:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Because of that it is also keeping it a little like lighter and easier easier drinking IPA

[00:03:22] [SPEAKER_02]: So I like it and it's evil genius which which fits with Star Wars because they are evil geniuses

[00:03:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, they're evil at the very least

[00:03:30] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know about geniuses with some of the southern going on a Lucasfilm recently, but they are evil

[00:03:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, our evil it is good to be back. There has been a lot of stuff going on since we've been back

[00:03:40] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah, we have not talked about the ending of

[00:03:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Whatever light was just canceled the trade the acolyte and then the real ending of the act

[00:03:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, the ending and then the ending so if we want to talk about the ending before we talk about the ending

[00:03:56] [SPEAKER_00]: I was listening to the inflatable Falcon last night

[00:04:00] [SPEAKER_00]: which is they were both on our show Mike Mike Hinton and

[00:04:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I can Ken Ken Bishop were both on our show

[00:04:09] [SPEAKER_00]: And Mike wanted to stress the people

[00:04:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Because it's it is much easier to just write acolyte cancelled right? Oh, no, you know big click baity thing

[00:04:21] [SPEAKER_02]: But it wasn't really cancelled. It's a good thing. I didn't put that in our title of this

[00:04:27] [SPEAKER_00]: It would have been perfect. You should have yeah hashtag good. No, it's fine because that's what everybody else is doing. Yeah

[00:04:32] [SPEAKER_00]: But cancelled mean that they had already greenlit right now. They just didn't there's not a green lighting season, too

[00:04:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so it's not technically cancelled. It's just not

[00:04:42] [SPEAKER_02]: They're not going for a season to sure when when you first heard those words, what was your initial reaction?

[00:04:50] [SPEAKER_00]: So then I was thinking okay. Well how many of these Star Wars shows

[00:04:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Have we do we know?

[00:04:59] [SPEAKER_00]: They're doing another season of a so we're certain it's like a soca and maybe

[00:05:05] [SPEAKER_00]: We get me and or and or they just announced and right and we know, you know

[00:05:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Mandalorian and Grogu are getting a movie, but they're on like season three by now there that one I figure has sailed

[00:05:14] [SPEAKER_02]: We know that one's yeah got some momentum. We've heard nothing about a book of Boba Fett

[00:05:18] [SPEAKER_02]: No, we haven't heard anything about book of Boba Fett. We haven't heard Obi-Wan. No, there were some rumblings

[00:05:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, see my initial reaction because I didn't hear like I actually heard it from someone texting me about it

[00:05:31] [SPEAKER_02]: And my like initial reaction was

[00:05:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Good. Yeah, honestly. Yeah. Yeah, I was like okay

[00:05:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Because it if I were to rank all of the

[00:05:42] [SPEAKER_00]: TV series is in

[00:05:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Order this would definitely be for me towards the bottom sure

[00:05:49] [SPEAKER_00]: So we got the acolyte you canceled we have and or I loved and or yeah many did a soca was good

[00:05:56] [SPEAKER_00]: I like the soca. It was good. It definitely

[00:05:59] [SPEAKER_00]: So and then the other problem with the acolyte which I have an article here that I want to we can break this article

[00:06:05] [SPEAKER_00]: But they left a lot of cliffhangers. Yep, and now we're never never yeah

[00:06:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, like that big, you know Darth Plagueis thing at the yeah

[00:06:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah

[00:06:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Darsall I guess I saw a meme and it was you know the have you ever heard the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise

[00:06:19] [SPEAKER_02]: And then the next frame is now the acolyte

[00:06:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Let's see a soca was good bad batch which they said it's coming to a conclusion so whatever

[00:06:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Mandalorian three seasons now a movie

[00:06:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Kind of like uh what's that community seven season a movie or a rest of development what kind of want to yeah similar way yeah

[00:06:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Visions which they have a second season of visions, but that's that's a different thing

[00:06:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's a cartoon. Yeah easier, but there's also not a story arc and right itself contained every episode

[00:06:53] [SPEAKER_02]: So like you're not worried every you know when you release an episode is this gonna be as good as the last one?

[00:06:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Cuz every next one is gonna be a different. It's a whole different thing

[00:07:01] [SPEAKER_00]: So I don't know that those are very easily comparable Obi-Wan Kenobi like we said we haven't we heard something for a little while

[00:07:07] [SPEAKER_00]: But then haven't really heard anything since then yeah, I was I remember when that came out

[00:07:11] [SPEAKER_02]: I was hoping that they would not do a season two

[00:07:13] [SPEAKER_02]: I was hoping it was a limited series

[00:07:14] [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, especially like it kind of it wrapped itself up nicely

[00:07:18] [SPEAKER_00]: I felt like it got you back to where you knew Obi-Wan was

[00:07:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Princess Leia little Leia was gone like not gone, but like she's no longer hanging out with him. She's doing her thing

[00:07:29] [SPEAKER_00]: He's doing his thing. He's on Tatooine. It's like perfect. We're back to here

[00:07:33] [SPEAKER_00]: This is all we need

[00:07:36] [SPEAKER_00]: And I think

[00:07:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Book of Boba Fett which we haven't heard a season two so it's it's almost like did book of Boba Fett get cancelled, right?

[00:07:46] [SPEAKER_00]: I think only because they haven't they specifically came out and said we will not we will not be doing a next season

[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Of the acolyte and then everybody live-chatting is like cancel right you know because they want to get that clickbait

[00:07:58] [SPEAKER_00]: So you heard it here first three weeks later cancel. Yeah, tell your friends

[00:08:02] [SPEAKER_02]: We broke the story and just happened to be three weeks late three weeks late, but yeah

[00:08:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I don't know. It's

[00:08:09] [SPEAKER_02]: to me I heard it and I'm like my initial reaction is good because

[00:08:15] [SPEAKER_02]: You know being renewed for a season two would be rewarding poor storytelling

[00:08:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you know like they didn't do I mean there were moments in season one that I'm bumping

[00:08:25] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm like the actor who played a

[00:08:28] [SPEAKER_02]: What's his name the bad guy? Yes forget his name already, but yeah

[00:08:34] [SPEAKER_02]: That guy that guy from the good place from the good anyway

[00:08:37] [SPEAKER_02]: He was killer and he said he was in I was interested in yeah many Jackie many Jacinto. Yeah, but like

[00:08:45] [SPEAKER_02]: everything like there were so many moments in that show where I was just like either well

[00:08:49] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not interested or literally. I was saying they're going I

[00:08:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Don't like this and you know it's not about doesn't have to be I like everything

[00:08:56] [SPEAKER_02]: But it wasn't I don't like this because it's it's different, but it was just poorly done. I feel like yeah

[00:09:02] [SPEAKER_00]: I wasn't impressed. Yeah

[00:09:04] [SPEAKER_02]: so

[00:09:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Eric and RGH liked it a lot. Yeah

[00:09:09] [SPEAKER_02]: And again, I we we I we usually try and pride ourselves on being less salty than a lot of Star Wars fans out

[00:09:14] [SPEAKER_02]: There but like it is not worth it for us to like sit here and say everything's great

[00:09:18] [SPEAKER_00]: If we don't think it is now the ending I did enjoy the last episode sure of all of the episodes

[00:09:23] [SPEAKER_00]: It was a very enjoyable ending we did was Darth Plagueis in the last episode. Yes, so we we see it quick glimpse of Darth

[00:09:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Plagueis hiding in the in the

[00:09:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Caves yeah right near where we're many Jacinto was and

[00:09:39] [SPEAKER_02]: But again, it's kind of the same thing that I've been annoyed about for a lot of these

[00:09:44] [SPEAKER_02]: is that they give us a season and

[00:09:49] [SPEAKER_02]: The season we're like all right whatever and then all of a sudden they give us like 14 seconds of something amazing yeah

[00:09:55] [SPEAKER_02]: And then it's like stay tuned for next season next season

[00:09:59] [SPEAKER_02]: They did the same thing with the with the sequel trilogy when like we all wanted to see Luke

[00:10:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Like what happened to Luke this dude who we for 30 years have been like wanting to see where he goes

[00:10:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm, and then like the first

[00:10:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Movie comes out and it's like hey here's him for 12 seconds at the very end of the movie

[00:10:16] [SPEAKER_02]: The second movie comes out and it's like oh you get to see him kind of for like 20 minutes

[00:10:20] [SPEAKER_02]: And he doesn't really do anything and he doesn't do anything and then he dies the whole time

[00:10:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so it just feels like they like they they've set up so many cool things

[00:10:29] [SPEAKER_02]: And that's all they try to do is set up interesting things that I almost I

[00:10:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Saw it somewhere. I forget where but I didn't read the whole article, but it made me think like

[00:10:42] [SPEAKER_00]: They have taken great pride in the fact that the budgets are so high for these shows

[00:10:49] [SPEAKER_00]: They're on movie theater budget

[00:10:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Caliber right and I almost wish like

[00:10:58] [SPEAKER_00]: It could be scaled down. Yeah, like the budget if give me instead give me eight or ten episodes

[00:11:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Give me 20 episodes

[00:11:08] [SPEAKER_00]: On a lower budget for each one yeah, and it doesn't have to be so super fancy like

[00:11:15] [SPEAKER_00]: we know the TV versions and gonna be not as amazing but

[00:11:21] [SPEAKER_00]: You can reuse some CGI stuff. Whatever you need to do. I don't know

[00:11:25] [SPEAKER_00]: But scaled down the budget a little bit, but give me a better story

[00:11:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Star Trek the next generation mm-hmm was able to do quality mm-hmm like 25 episode

[00:11:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Season arcs for 10 for 10 like honestly like and it was all good. It was all good

[00:11:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, like the fact that they can't figure out a way to make a Star Wars show. That's quality

[00:11:48] [SPEAKER_02]: That's more than eight episodes of 27 minutes each. Yeah, it seems so even like it

[00:11:53] [SPEAKER_00]: thinking back to Andor when they were in the

[00:11:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Prison scenes right like I don't know how much those scenes cost in comparison to the rest of the series or whatever

[00:12:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Not much probably probably not much like you could you could incorporate things like that into you know small sets

[00:12:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Small scale stuff that on camera will still look big

[00:12:14] [SPEAKER_00]: But you're in you're using a room 30 by 30 instead of 300 by 300 right you know

[00:12:20] [SPEAKER_00]: So I don't know I would I would like to see

[00:12:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Just better storytelling unfortunately. I didn't think the storytelling in this one was very good

[00:12:30] [SPEAKER_00]: You weren't fans you weren't a fan of the acting in this one no especially the witches yeah

[00:12:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh-huh and the power of man

[00:12:42] [SPEAKER_00]: And to me I wonder if it was

[00:12:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Director telling them to act that way or just bad acting, but I don't know but here's the this from screen rant

[00:12:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, 11 questions now that the accolade has officially been canceled

[00:12:57] [SPEAKER_00]: That are up in the air that we will never get the answer to all right do OSHA and may ever reunite

[00:13:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Because now they switched roles may is now the good girl and OSHA is now the bad one will they ever get back together

[00:13:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Again, I wonder if like the comics and the books start picking up some of these storylines. You know it could be could be

[00:13:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Which would be good for for the for the expanded universe. I would love that

[00:13:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Did mother coral coral survive

[00:13:29] [SPEAKER_02]: That's the Zebra

[00:13:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Supposedly she did from according to the director, but yeah because we never saw her

[00:13:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Night sisters dark matter some viewers have even speculated the month of coral may have been the secret Sith Master all along

[00:13:42] [SPEAKER_00]: We found that not to be true

[00:13:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Will ever be explored in any greater detail now that the accolades is not being renewed does Yoda help with?

[00:13:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Vernetris's roles cover up because we do see that one scene of Yoda was that in the last episode yeah, yeah

[00:13:58] [SPEAKER_02]: And again it was a whole season and then at the very end is like hey cool

[00:14:02] [SPEAKER_00]: I know that guy for a second for one second, and it's it's just the puppet sitting there

[00:14:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and and there was another thing like

[00:14:11] [SPEAKER_00]: They finally start to dig deep into Jedi politics

[00:14:15] [SPEAKER_00]: And how the Jedi's have been covering themselves up for all this time and it even like

[00:14:22] [SPEAKER_00]: trickles down into

[00:14:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Episodes four five and six like in the movie four or five and six right because they talk about

[00:14:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Little hints of that throughout it so it would have been interesting to see where this goes because there was a giant cover-up

[00:14:37] [SPEAKER_00]: But how how high up does the cover-up go great question there that we're never gonna get an answer to

[00:14:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Did the light whip cause?

[00:14:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Kamar's come on. What's his name? Quimar? I'm here kind of scars piece. Yeah, I think it's pretty

[00:14:51] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean we'll never I guess get a kind of confirmation, but it's pretty heavily

[00:14:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Hinted that yes, that is what caused them yeah because he knew her she knew him they were

[00:15:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Padawan and master he had these whip more

[00:15:05] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean it was pretty heavily implied but again the light whip is annoying as hell right as cuz they she used it

[00:15:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, once and it's the exact clip that was in every trailer

[00:15:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and that's all we saw and that's all we saw about we really wanted to see how awesome and that's like for the budget

[00:15:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Like it should have been used in every single episode. She should have been whipping that thing around and killing

[00:15:30] [SPEAKER_00]: People left and right in whatever but no one bug

[00:15:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Was there something was there actually something romantic between oh, oh shut and come come are time here time here man

[00:15:40] [SPEAKER_00]: I can always get wrong. It's okay

[00:15:42] [SPEAKER_02]: That's part of the show. I think they were leaning into it, but that's kind of the dark side Dealey right like yeah

[00:15:47] [SPEAKER_02]: I think that maybe he was probably trying to manipulate her and yeah, but you know we won't know we won't know and was was

[00:15:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Kimar a

[00:15:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Kumar come Harold and Kumar

[00:15:58] [SPEAKER_00]: White Castle good

[00:16:01] [SPEAKER_00]: But a tattooing right was he true Sith

[00:16:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I guess we don't really know right there was that question because he said I'm what you might call a Sith

[00:16:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he had no Sith master. He didn't seem to be one himself. He was seeking an acolyte not an apprentice for another

[00:16:16] [SPEAKER_00]: He was incredibly powerful, but he also seemed immature and undisciplined yet

[00:16:20] [SPEAKER_00]: He didn't fit in with Star Wars most powerful Sith if anything

[00:16:23] [SPEAKER_00]: He seems much more like Kylo Ren who was also a dark force user

[00:16:27] [SPEAKER_00]: But not a Sith presumably there was an interesting underlying story here, but now it's unlikely to ever be revealed

[00:16:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Is this how Darth Plagueis learns to create life?

[00:16:37] [SPEAKER_00]: So do you think Darth Plagueis learned this from him or do you think he was working with Darth Plagueis?

[00:16:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I think they're talking about like you know when they were talking how what's her name was they were made by the witches right right?

[00:16:52] [SPEAKER_02]: and so like

[00:16:54] [SPEAKER_02]: That there was that whole question of oh that that throws

[00:16:56] [SPEAKER_02]: You know the chosen one prophecy off because an Anakin was supposed to be made of course

[00:17:00] [SPEAKER_02]: I think it's pretty clear that he was like maybe he was there because he was studying the virgins

[00:17:06] [SPEAKER_02]: That was there and okay

[00:17:08] [SPEAKER_02]: There is some I guess hints that that virgins is what caused these two

[00:17:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Children or one child to be born or whatever right so maybe he was studying that virgins in order to try and figure out

[00:17:21] [SPEAKER_02]: How he can replicate it yes, but yeah, I don't know

[00:17:24] [SPEAKER_00]: How do Osha and keemar factor into Palpatine's original story origin story?

[00:17:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, well I guess because this is set a good 60 years at least before

[00:17:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Up

[00:17:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Excuse me Sidious right became his apprentice

[00:17:44] [SPEAKER_02]: So I was thinking the same thing cuz like in in the expanded universe. There's

[00:17:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Tenebrous start the print Tenebrous is Darth Plagueis his master and okay

[00:17:53] [SPEAKER_02]: You know after Tenebrous after Plagueis kills Tenebrous. There's this long thing

[00:17:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Between where plate yeah, so maybe Tenebrous is still out there and Plagueis is

[00:18:05] [SPEAKER_02]: the apprentice the apprentice at this point could be possible to maybe

[00:18:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't know it says some speculation that Plagueis may ultimately destroy them both a

[00:18:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Little more than a Sith pretender after all however there was a number of exciting possibilities including that Osha

[00:18:25] [SPEAKER_00]: portrays

[00:18:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Keimar and joins Plagueis and that Palpatine came along and killed them both proving themselves to Plagueis

[00:18:32] [SPEAKER_00]: We're never gonna find out okay. Well Darth Plagueis ever returned to the Star Wars screen. I hope so I hope so

[00:18:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Because it says here

[00:18:41] [SPEAKER_00]: It's truly a shame that this turned for the worse for the acolyte may mean Darth Plagueis is one and only

[00:18:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Appearance on screen. I don't think so I think

[00:18:50] [SPEAKER_00]: They can do a whole even they could do a visions on Plagueis if they really wanted to

[00:18:56] [SPEAKER_02]: The tales of the yeah tales of the Sith thing yeah, yeah, they could so

[00:19:02] [SPEAKER_00]: I

[00:19:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Don't think anytime soon because obviously we know what's in the pipeline and at least this time in the what's in the pipeline is much

[00:19:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Smaller yes fewer things fewer things with more certainty than many things are very uncertain

[00:19:19] [SPEAKER_00]: How did Yoda learn about the rule of two in the Phantom Menace Yoda knew about the Sith Master and apprentice dynamic?

[00:19:26] [SPEAKER_00]: But how did he learn about it?

[00:19:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Sadly Yoda's level awareness of the Sith returns in the matter on what she learned about the Sith rule of two will likely always

[00:19:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Be a mystery in Star Wars. I don't know I think it's pretty easy to

[00:19:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Like not have that spelled out for you like the Sith disappeared

[00:19:43] [SPEAKER_02]: But like there are Sith temples that they've still stumbled upon in the Clone Wars

[00:19:47] [SPEAKER_02]: You know he finds Darth Bane's tomb whatever and he knows about him so like I think it's pretty

[00:19:51] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not crazy to assume that you know the Jedi have studied this their their most ancient

[00:19:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, enemy

[00:20:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Granted they thought they were dead before the rule of two started

[00:20:04] [SPEAKER_02]: But again, I it's been a thousand years

[00:20:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it would be crazy to me if they like beat them a thousand years ago and the Jedi decided well

[00:20:12] [SPEAKER_02]: We're done with that now. Yeah, we're done. Don't worry about that

[00:20:14] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean put that book on the shelf and never open it again. That's right. It's all over

[00:20:18] [SPEAKER_00]: and then the last question which

[00:20:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Should be question 11 instead of number one so just how old is Kai Adi moon D really oh

[00:20:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, people got so upset about they did they got so upset about this

[00:20:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Honestly who cares yeah who cares yeah? He's a dude with a really big weird-looking forehead right and I don't care if he's

[00:20:38] [SPEAKER_00]: 9,000 years old who cares

[00:20:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Just because in one book at one time in

[00:20:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Legends it said he was this old and now suddenly he shows up a hundred years earlier who cares

[00:20:51] [SPEAKER_02]: I gotta tell you they're gonna be real upset when they find out what Disney did to the legends

[00:20:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Don't let them know all right before we go on I I have some questions for you, but let's hit real fast

[00:21:06] [SPEAKER_00]: We didn't talk about everything else ears up. We're on the ears up network ears up. Yes

[00:21:10] [SPEAKER_00]: In depth not in depth and that is gone. They're not just regular ears up

[00:21:14] [SPEAKER_00]: It's it's very surface level very surface level ears off scraping the vault scraping the vault puny pod puny pod

[00:21:21] [SPEAKER_00]: the supreme

[00:21:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Resort jogger is paradise yes, that's their jogging their jogging through all the Disney

[00:21:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Through all the parks yeah, it's the Disney

[00:21:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Marathon

[00:21:35] [SPEAKER_00]: What do they call that the Disney? I don't know they have Disney marathon whatever they I made it up

[00:21:39] [SPEAKER_00]: But they do that podcast about the Disney marathon and Disney running yes

[00:21:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, they have the they have the podcast run Disney. It's called run. Is it run DM Disney right?

[00:21:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, run Disney podcast comm so check out all the other ears up stuff

[00:21:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Before we continue with other things I did some reading. I'm sure yeah, are you still listening to books?

[00:22:00] [SPEAKER_02]: I have not yet finished so the the most recent

[00:22:04] [SPEAKER_02]: book in the

[00:22:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Novel series is temptation of the force okay. I have not yet finished it, but I am a good way through it

[00:22:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so I did read the second one of the High Republic series the rising storm might be my favorite rising

[00:22:19] [SPEAKER_02]: So I'm just gonna is that the one with the fair yes, Republic. Yeah, that's what the the

[00:22:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Like the World's Fair basically yeah, yeah

[00:22:26] [SPEAKER_00]: So it was fun, and it was fun because you like as soon

[00:22:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I love the red herrings even in books, but it's like oh

[00:22:36] [SPEAKER_00]: They're at a zoo with and look at this they bring it bar all these dangerous animals sure would be a shame

[00:22:42] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm glad they're in cages. I'm glad they're as soon as they I said this sherry

[00:22:46] [SPEAKER_00]: I go as soon as I read this like they're breaking out

[00:22:52] [SPEAKER_00]: So that was it was fun, so it was very fun book what I did like

[00:22:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Kevin Scott the author of this he also wrote some other books

[00:23:01] [SPEAKER_00]: One of which are a series of which were choose your own adventure Star Wars books really yeah

[00:23:08] [SPEAKER_00]: I looked them up after I saw the list of his other books Star Wars

[00:23:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Adventures in Wild Space the escape the snare the heist and the cold

[00:23:18] [SPEAKER_00]: They are all like a choose your own adventure books. I read I used to love choose your adventure books as a kid

[00:23:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Bumps I read so many goose your goosebumps. Yeah, huh my like sixth graders right choose your adventure books

[00:23:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh in the computer coding yeah, so so we have a lot of fun with that so when I saw these I was like

[00:23:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, we're gonna have to choose our own adventures on an adventure right so this was a good one

[00:23:39] [SPEAKER_00]: The thing that I don't like is

[00:23:42] [SPEAKER_00]: These High Republic it's a five

[00:23:45] [SPEAKER_00]: book series yes and

[00:23:48] [SPEAKER_00]: At the end of the first book

[00:23:51] [SPEAKER_00]: The something storm the light of the Jedi let it is yeah

[00:23:55] [SPEAKER_00]: So at the end in the middle the first one one of the Jedi's

[00:23:59] [SPEAKER_00]: taken hostage on

[00:24:02] [SPEAKER_00]: the where they then Naveen the

[00:24:04] [SPEAKER_00]: What are the bad guys names other Nile the Nile?

[00:24:07] [SPEAKER_00]: One of them denials like kidnap him and are torturing him and all the yeah, it's a storm great storm loading great

[00:24:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Storm

[00:24:16] [SPEAKER_00]: So such a great storyline yeah, so as soon as the book ended I was like

[00:24:20] [SPEAKER_00]: We didn't find out what happened to him spoiler alert

[00:24:23] [SPEAKER_00]: I was like we I need to get the second book so immediately got the second book. I'm reading

[00:24:28] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm reading I'm reading spoiler alert

[00:24:30] [SPEAKER_00]: 27 chapters in there's no mention of him at all I'm like

[00:24:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's when I looked up and I saw it's a five-part series

[00:24:39] [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like if we don't get back to him until book 3 or book 4

[00:24:42] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna be so angry

[00:24:44] [SPEAKER_00]: So they did in book 2 they do get back to him

[00:24:47] [SPEAKER_00]: So if you if you takes a minute, but definitely it definitely takes a minute

[00:24:50] [SPEAKER_00]: But they finally do get back to him, but even when they in like chapter 25. It's just like

[00:24:56] [SPEAKER_00]: He's groggy and pain and blood and then they go to chapter 26, and I'm like

[00:25:01] [SPEAKER_02]: He's a great character too yeah

[00:25:06] [SPEAKER_02]: The the audio book the the person who speaks it gives him like this really cool

[00:25:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Hispanic accent like oh I am loading great storm, and I will I will end you and I'm like every time I hear

[00:25:18] [SPEAKER_02]: I just think Zorro

[00:25:21] [SPEAKER_02]: But no he's a great character the the thing that got me about these books is that

[00:25:26] [SPEAKER_02]: There's right now. I think five like you said in the main series

[00:25:30] [SPEAKER_02]: That's the adult novel series, but there's also young adult novels and comics going on at the same time yes and some of the

[00:25:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Some of the plot lines are picked up in those yes, so like you I think in this one

[00:25:43] [SPEAKER_02]: You've probably started to hear about the drain gear yes

[00:25:46] [SPEAKER_02]: So the drain gear are these like plants that are like essentially just they're like a Venus flytrap

[00:25:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Giant monster yeah, but they're they're they're compelled by the dark side of the forest

[00:25:56] [SPEAKER_02]: They're like connected the dark side and verness Jarreau and

[00:26:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Who's the other girl the one it's stellen?

[00:26:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes

[00:26:05] [SPEAKER_02]: stellen

[00:26:06] [SPEAKER_02]: There's three of them the two guys and the girl Avar Avar Chris yes

[00:26:12] [SPEAKER_02]: She's like spans a lot of the young adult novels like fighting the drain gear okay

[00:26:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Like she's not in this book very much right off doing that okay?

[00:26:20] [SPEAKER_02]: And so like you'll pick up on the next book, and you'll go oh

[00:26:24] [SPEAKER_02]: I guess this has happened since that and yeah

[00:26:27] [SPEAKER_02]: There are some things you gotta and they don't they're pretty good about making sure the big things

[00:26:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Continue through but like there's clearly some stuff that like if you pick up the young adult novels

[00:26:37] [SPEAKER_00]: You'll like get more stuff out of right and I did

[00:26:42] [SPEAKER_00]: In this book the one person goes in like

[00:26:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Kills one of the plants, but they're really hard to kill because once you slice them in half then they just multiply

[00:26:52] [SPEAKER_00]: It's like a hydra. It's like a hydra

[00:26:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so like they he talked about like he had a slice of in the very small pieces

[00:26:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Is this the chick like who was a Jedi, but now she's like a monster hunter yes, that's right

[00:27:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, she was cool, and she's like spoiler it she like is not in any of their books and after this book

[00:27:09] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm like what happened her oh yeah

[00:27:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Totally awesome, and she starts to get a relationship with the Jedi which is also interesting

[00:27:17] [SPEAKER_02]: I forget. I don't know that's gonna. No me. She's like one of the most he's one of the main characters

[00:27:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Elzar Elzar males are yes, that's right. I can't I can't remember any names

[00:27:27] [SPEAKER_02]: See that's why I think the audiobooks helped me because

[00:27:31] [SPEAKER_02]: There there are voices that I can attach to the name stuff

[00:27:35] [SPEAKER_00]: and I hear them instead of like reading them and this this was this was my only complaint about the book is

[00:27:41] [SPEAKER_00]: There were so many characters in the book

[00:27:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and it's a very long book yep the

[00:27:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Lot of words like 70 chapters 70 chapters now each chapter in the book is a page and a half two pages

[00:27:55] [SPEAKER_00]: It's very interesting how it's like they'll do a chapter talking about

[00:28:00] [SPEAKER_00]: What you're battling right now right and then I'm in the same battle than the next chapter yeah, yeah

[00:28:05] [SPEAKER_00]: It's me on the other side

[00:28:07] [SPEAKER_00]: So like the chapters are very short which I do like because I like stopping at the end of a chapter

[00:28:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and this book because they go in the books they do kind of have different ways about it because they have different

[00:28:19] [SPEAKER_02]: writers so the first book

[00:28:21] [SPEAKER_02]: The Jedi was like a more

[00:28:23] [SPEAKER_02]: like

[00:28:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Galaxy spanning like this big event happened and then this was the consequences

[00:28:28] [SPEAKER_02]: And this is what this person on this side of the galaxy was doing to do it. Yeah, it was over months

[00:28:33] [SPEAKER_02]: This book is more of like a like this event is happening. Yes, and this is what's happening

[00:28:39] [SPEAKER_00]: It was it was like like Empire Strikes Back like takes place in like two days yep

[00:28:43] [SPEAKER_02]: and it's all on and I I kind of like kind of didn't like that because I do tend to like

[00:28:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Big broad scope where we're kind of go, but like right this one is so action-packed. There's always stuff going on the the all the

[00:28:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Action that was happening was very detailed yeah, and like as I'm reading it

[00:29:03] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm like picturing it in my head like this would be a really cool battle scene like it definitely

[00:29:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Would go on a lot longer than what some of the battle scenes that we've seen in live-action

[00:29:14] [SPEAKER_02]: TV shows but at the same time too

[00:29:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Interesting because while I because I listen to them and while I'm listening to them sometimes

[00:29:20] [SPEAKER_02]: I think about the fact that like I just listened to

[00:29:24] [SPEAKER_02]: probably 30 seconds of

[00:29:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Someone describing an action that probably was a second you know like right they took 30 seconds and like they described

[00:29:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Him igniting the lightsaber and deflecting a couple bolts

[00:29:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and so like it feels like things take forever, but like when you're thinking about it like they're just it's such detail

[00:29:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and it really paints a picture for you said it before about how with the books

[00:29:50] [SPEAKER_00]: they can get into more detail about like

[00:29:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Emotionally how how the characters feel yeah?

[00:29:56] [SPEAKER_00]: And there was a lot of that in this like his he could sense this and he could feel this and you know

[00:30:02] [SPEAKER_00]: He could see this was happening here and blah blah blah and whatever and she was she

[00:30:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Knew that he was over there, but like you can't you can't portray that portray that on film

[00:30:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and then at the same time like I think I've also mentioned like you kind of get the Jedi's perspective on killing

[00:30:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, like how they don't want to do it. Yeah, they do it. They're like ah that's yeah

[00:30:21] [SPEAKER_00]: They're like I don't want to take a life, but if I don't take your life

[00:30:25] [SPEAKER_02]: You're going to kill thousands of other people right so which is which is kind and I think I've mentioned this but kind of like

[00:30:34] [SPEAKER_02]: It it puts into perspective the Clone Wars because it almost seems like it

[00:30:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Desensitized the Jedi to killing because they're chopping up a bunch of droids. Oh yeah droids that doesn't matter

[00:30:44] [SPEAKER_00]: You know they're not snuffing out a light. Yeah life and so in this they also talk about how you know

[00:30:50] [SPEAKER_00]: They all feel it when you know you can feel somebody's life right taken and and it wanes on you

[00:30:56] [SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, and every single one every single one yeah

[00:30:59] [SPEAKER_00]: So I was thinking oh, so I finished that book then I picked up this book

[00:31:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Because we went to a

[00:31:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Used bookstore and I was like okay, they had a bunch of the

[00:31:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Small paperback books, and I looked at the font and I was like I am too old to read this

[00:31:19] [SPEAKER_00]: This is way too small so I had to pick up a bigger book now. This is from 85

[00:31:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, this book was written in 85 children of the Jedi by Barbara

[00:31:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Hambly now it has a lot less people Luke Skywalker Han Solo

[00:31:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Princess Leia like it takes place a little bit after like it right between Empire and Jedi like that

[00:31:42] [SPEAKER_00]: but

[00:31:45] [SPEAKER_00]: I think it was written in 95

[00:31:48] [SPEAKER_00]: but the writing in this is

[00:31:52] [SPEAKER_00]: So hard to read is it so hard to read so here's I

[00:31:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Just want to read one sentence. I'm trying to find the start of a chapter

[00:32:05] [SPEAKER_00]: This is all one sentence, okay a band of them had descended on the town where he grown up

[00:32:12] [SPEAKER_00]: summons summoning by

[00:32:14] [SPEAKER_00]: summon

[00:32:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Summoning fog by the power of the force and the dead of night and moving through it in cold and shadow

[00:32:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Rays of power and silence with eyes glowing green as

[00:32:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Marsh fires in the dark okay that one wasn't as bad, but one sentence that was one sentence. Yeah, that's at least three cents

[00:32:32] [SPEAKER_00]: That's at least three sentence. There's these some of these sentences

[00:32:37] [SPEAKER_02]: But like I I do think that that was part of the problem with some of the Star Wars books and legends is that

[00:32:42] [SPEAKER_02]: There wasn't as much control so you didn't necessarily have the best writers on all alone

[00:32:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so like I'm gonna find the sentence that I I texted to here's that here's the sentence that I texted to my friend

[00:32:54] [SPEAKER_00]: I texted to Tom and I also texted it to my wife Sharia said listen to the sentence

[00:32:59] [SPEAKER_00]: That's in Star Wars book that I'm reading right now

[00:33:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Scrims of mist flowed like streams among the hanging garden beds that deepened from the lace work of

[00:33:10] [SPEAKER_00]: transparent steel vaults and domes

[00:33:13] [SPEAKER_00]: pendants

[00:33:13] [SPEAKER_00]: gondolas as big as houses some high in the swift

[00:33:17] [SPEAKER_00]: shouting shifting streams of mists

[00:33:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Just under the plex others lowered on cables nearly to the level of the broken turret of the stumpy stone tower

[00:33:28] [SPEAKER_00]: That stood on the lava beach that JC and his party had just achieved all that remains of the citadel of the Jedi

[00:33:35] [SPEAKER_00]: One sentence that's too many words too many words too many way too many words for one sentence

[00:33:41] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna have to protest. I'm like reading this book and

[00:33:45] [SPEAKER_00]: It's it has less words than that book does

[00:33:49] [SPEAKER_00]: But it's taking me twice as long because the sentences are so yeah

[00:33:53] [SPEAKER_01]: I'd need at least three or four passes of that sense. Oh my god

[00:33:56] [SPEAKER_00]: And it's like they're like one sentence will have like seven words that all start with the letter R

[00:34:02] [SPEAKER_00]: And you're like roaring rumbling running through the roaring and I'm like, oh, I can't I can't even follow this

[00:34:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Author just learned about alliteration. She's going to she's going all in she was like the best

[00:34:14] [SPEAKER_00]: She's like wait, I get paid per word right? Okay, here we go. Let's go. Let's go

[00:34:19] [SPEAKER_00]: So that being said I

[00:34:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Sent you a couple of times and now it's all lost but whatever I was thinking we should have a

[00:34:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Star Wars book checklist

[00:34:31] [SPEAKER_00]: so it's kind of like a sticker that you'll put on the cover of the book and if it has these things in it kind

[00:34:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Of like a bingo card sure but like a checklist so like one of them was if

[00:34:43] [SPEAKER_00]: they for

[00:34:44] [SPEAKER_00]: No reason just throw out like somebody we know Han Solo Luke Skywalker

[00:34:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Yoda whatever and it's just like just in the middle of the story like what would Yoda say if we did this right like

[00:34:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Why is that even there and they do that in these new ones a lot? Yeah, and they like they'll throw out like

[00:35:03] [SPEAKER_02]: like

[00:35:03] [SPEAKER_02]: One quote they said was luminous beings are we like like it's something that you know

[00:35:10] [SPEAKER_02]: To Luke in a hut right that I guess now has turned into oh Yoda said this to every single one of his students

[00:35:16] [SPEAKER_02]: And it's just something it was his catchphrase

[00:35:22] [SPEAKER_00]: His catchphrases luminous beings are we

[00:35:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Another one. It's a trap sure

[00:35:27] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean that's fan service if somebody if somebody were have a bad feeling about I have a bad feeling about this either

[00:35:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Those two things check check. Yeah

[00:35:34] [SPEAKER_00]: What was some of the other ones I wrote? I don't know but like so I

[00:35:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Really would like to think it would be really funny if we if we came up with a whole bunch of different checklist things

[00:35:46] [SPEAKER_02]: To have that in there quote a main quote a line from the movie when they describe a main character

[00:35:53] [SPEAKER_00]: They were seeing the movies. Yep. Oh, yeah. Yeah, so like like

[00:35:57] [SPEAKER_00]: You are my father, you know, like something like that

[00:35:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Whatever like it's just thrown in there like and then I ran into Luke and he was like I can't believe

[00:36:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Darth Vader was my father type of thing or whatever

[00:36:09] [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, we can hear this almost like a bookmark or sticker

[00:36:14] [SPEAKER_00]: It says a chap in there mentioned in the main characters of Star Wars like Loda

[00:36:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Think of other things. Okay. Yeah, so whatever

[00:36:22] [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah

[00:36:22] [SPEAKER_00]: So I thought that would be fun to have like all these like different things that that we could throw on it on a book

[00:36:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Cover

[00:36:28] [SPEAKER_00]: You can make that happen. I can make that happen

[00:36:31] [SPEAKER_00]: You can make anything we can we'll make it stronger better faster

[00:36:36] [SPEAKER_00]: All right, so

[00:36:38] [SPEAKER_00]: The accolade as we found out has been canceled but not canceled just not redone. Yes

[00:36:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Star Wars outlaws coming out very soon. Yeah, I'm intrigued and excited

[00:36:51] [SPEAKER_00]: PlayStation 5 you have it. You know, yeah, that's right. It's released on August 30th. Yep, so they were

[00:36:57] [SPEAKER_00]: They were like bragging that they're the first like MMO type game

[00:37:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Is this the one that they're saying is an MMO game? So it's the first open world open world game

[00:37:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, but they're not pick the Star Wars galaxies and even the other ones. Yeah played were I mean

[00:37:13] [SPEAKER_02]: I get what they're kind of saying because it's not an MMO

[00:37:16] [SPEAKER_02]: But it is open world kind of like Red Dead Redemption or Grand Theft Auto or something like that

[00:37:23] [SPEAKER_02]: But

[00:37:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I don't know because I mean I guess fall in order and then they weren't truly open world

[00:37:30] [SPEAKER_02]: They were pretty damn close to open world. Yeah, I don't know man

[00:37:35] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm intrigued apparently it takes place between episodes 2 & 3

[00:37:41] [SPEAKER_02]: And it's right after just about every single hut has been killed except for Java

[00:37:44] [SPEAKER_02]: So that is a big shakeup in the crime syndicate world and I don't know

[00:37:48] [SPEAKER_02]: I like video games and I like Star Wars and I hope they don't screw it up. Yeah, I mean it's been

[00:37:54] [SPEAKER_00]: People have been talking highly of it. So that's good

[00:37:59] [SPEAKER_00]: And it's it's you know gonna the graphics are amazing it's gonna be it's gonna be graphically really really cool

[00:38:06] [SPEAKER_00]: It's funny like Tom and I have talked numerous times about how

[00:38:11] [SPEAKER_00]: We wish

[00:38:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Like Star Wars galaxies was redone an MMO was redone right with the graphic capabilities that we have today

[00:38:19] [SPEAKER_00]: Like how awesome would that game be if the graphics were just better?

[00:38:23] [SPEAKER_00]: And ironically enough the guy who created Star Wars galaxies

[00:38:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Forget his name offhand, but he's creating his own brand new star star not Star Wars space

[00:38:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Ranger type thing

[00:38:38] [SPEAKER_00]: MMO game interesting which is basically going to be a new updated Star Wars galaxies without the Star Wars

[00:38:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Branding on it. Okay, you're gonna have all the jobs and all the professions and the house that like

[00:38:52] [SPEAKER_00]: the thing with um

[00:38:55] [SPEAKER_00]: What was the other big MMO that was out there for even longer was like the orgs and all those things

[00:39:00] [SPEAKER_00]: We're world of Warcraft

[00:39:01] [SPEAKER_00]: The only thing that I didn't like about World of Warcraft in comparison to Star Wars was that

[00:39:06] [SPEAKER_00]: You had a house in World of Warcraft, but nobody else could see it. It was just your yeah, that's true

[00:39:14] [SPEAKER_02]: You know

[00:39:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah

[00:39:15] [SPEAKER_00]: And like with Star Wars galaxies like you built entire player cities and that was where the economy was and everything like

[00:39:21] [SPEAKER_00]: That so the economy was drastically different in World of Warcraft

[00:39:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean they were fundamentally very different games. Yeah, just had the same function of being massively multiplayer

[00:39:32] [SPEAKER_02]: and then when they

[00:39:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Changed it. They made it more World of Warcraft II which made it less special less special

[00:39:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but I get with her

[00:39:42] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean World of Warcraft had more active subscribers than the population of certain countries certain boys

[00:39:47] [SPEAKER_00]: You know like they're big it was huge. It was huge

[00:39:50] [SPEAKER_00]: So an outlaws a player encounters four fractions the Asagi

[00:39:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Clan Crimson Dawn Hutt cartel and Pike syndicate the players decisions and actions throughout the game directly impact K's reputation with each

[00:40:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Which is always fun

[00:40:02] [SPEAKER_00]: And it was fun in Star Wars galaxies to get like a really really bad reputation with this one

[00:40:08] [SPEAKER_00]: so as you walk through the

[00:40:12] [SPEAKER_00]: The

[00:40:13] [SPEAKER_00]: mobs would just like start shooting at you right away

[00:40:17] [SPEAKER_00]: They didn't like you at all because you killed so many of their friends. Yeah. Yeah, I'm playing

[00:40:21] [SPEAKER_02]: I think I've told you Baldur's Gate 3, uh-huh and I finished my good run and now I restarted and I'm playing a bad run

[00:40:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, where I am NOT a very nice person not a very nice person big difference very different experience for sure

[00:40:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Is it a lot harder?

[00:40:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Certain times are because there are certain battles that I in the previous one had friends with me that I killed

[00:40:42] [SPEAKER_02]: For you know at this point sure

[00:40:45] [SPEAKER_02]: But certain ones are actually easier because like instead of trying to convince someone to tell me to do something or I'm just like

[00:40:52] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm gonna kill you just kill him take this thing from you. That's really funny

[00:40:56] [SPEAKER_00]: This one I'm really excited about I don't know if you heard about this yet, but in music by John Williams a new documentary

[00:41:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Chronicles the maestro a new documentary film arriving later this year will chronicle the life and legendary career of John Williams the visionary

[00:41:11] [SPEAKER_00]: composer behind many of the most iconic film soundtracks in history

[00:41:15] [SPEAKER_02]: This is why I just saw a video of Steve Martin playing a Star Wars song on banjo

[00:41:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Could be at a like dedication to John Williams. I'm wondering if maybe this is a clip

[00:41:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, he was also just at d23 which just happened last weekend

[00:41:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he was just enshrined as a Disney legend, right?

[00:41:35] [SPEAKER_00]: And of the 14 Disney legends that were there. He was the only one that wasn't there unfortunately

[00:41:41] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm just really happy that I have my autographed Empire Strikes Back album back there by him

[00:41:47] [SPEAKER_00]: But the documentary features interviews with Steven Spielberg Kathleen Kennedy Frank Marshall Kate Capshaw

[00:41:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Gustavo do do do the Mel JJ drums blah blah blah blah blah

[00:41:59] [SPEAKER_00]: It's no exaggeration say that John Williams is the greatest film composer of all time

[00:42:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Kathleen Kenny says his music has transcended cinema and become a part of our global culture touching the hearts of billions both young and old

[00:42:11] [SPEAKER_00]: So this comes out on November 1st on Disney Plus, so I'm really excited. Yeah, that's really excited for that

[00:42:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh one more thing the we didn't even touch on this

[00:42:21] [SPEAKER_00]: So this is all the things that was released in d23 first and foremost everybody is raving about

[00:42:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Star Wars Goonies

[00:42:30] [SPEAKER_00]: what the

[00:42:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Skeleton crew

[00:42:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Right, right. Yes. Yes. Sorry. Yeah

[00:42:40] [SPEAKER_02]: I literally thought Star Wars Goonies

[00:42:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yes that is Star Wars Goonies

[00:42:46] [SPEAKER_00]: So the skeleton crew is the next series to come out very soon in September because it's all kid actors

[00:42:52] [SPEAKER_00]: It's all kid actors, but the

[00:42:56] [SPEAKER_00]: The preview looks pretty good. Yeah, the preview looks pretty good

[00:43:02] [SPEAKER_00]: so

[00:43:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Skeleton crew starring Jude Law

[00:43:05] [SPEAKER_00]: who plays the enemic and

[00:43:08] [SPEAKER_00]: And

[00:43:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Whatever jet jode not narwood introduced the world's first look at footage from forthcoming series created by spider-man homecoming director

[00:43:17] [SPEAKER_00]: John Watson writer Christopher Ford

[00:43:19] [SPEAKER_00]: following the adventures of four kids

[00:43:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Whim Fern KB and Nell the trailer

[00:43:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Fern the Phineas infer Phineas mom

[00:43:30] [SPEAKER_00]: The trailer gives us a glimpse of at a mysterious discovery and the journey ahead is the foursome are

[00:43:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Hurtled into a strange and dangerous galaxy

[00:43:40] [SPEAKER_00]: I fell in love with Star Wars when I was a ten-year-old boy Jude Law told the audience

[00:43:43] [SPEAKER_00]: And what I love most about the series is it's told through the perspective of the kids

[00:43:48] [SPEAKER_00]: It means a great deal for me to be a part of the Star Wars galaxies

[00:43:51] [SPEAKER_00]: So Jude Law was supposed to be this Jedi that's hanging out with these four kids as they get lost in space

[00:43:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Sounds like a red flag and they have to find their way through

[00:44:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Already people are making speculations that he's not actually a Jedi

[00:44:04] [SPEAKER_00]: He just is was doing tricks kind of like what?

[00:44:09] [SPEAKER_00]: The guy from Obi-Wan Obi-Wan was doing yeah

[00:44:11] [SPEAKER_00]: So some people are saying how great would that be if in like at the end of episode one?

[00:44:17] [SPEAKER_00]: They kids find out that he's not a real Jedi and now they have to figure this out

[00:44:20] [SPEAKER_00]: So I don't know it looks the graphics look cool. It looks fun

[00:44:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Of course people are up in arms with the I don't know what the species is offhand

[00:44:29] [SPEAKER_00]: But the little guy who looks like kind of like an elephant person whatever

[00:44:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Um

[00:44:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes they said he's supposed to be like in this he's bipedal

[00:44:41] [SPEAKER_00]: But something say that he's supposed to be walking on all four legs, or he's not supposed to have any legs or something

[00:44:47] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know people were like who?

[00:44:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it sounds like so it sounds like things that people do but um

[00:44:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Everybody seems pretty excited for this so I am excited. Hopefully it'll be awesome and hopefully these kids will be

[00:45:00] [SPEAKER_00]: We could use yes, we could definitely use a change of pace

[00:45:04] [SPEAKER_00]: The return of or synchronic in k2so or worse coming back. We knew that

[00:45:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Mandalorian and Grogu so this is all things that were told to us at

[00:45:15] [SPEAKER_00]: D 23

[00:45:17] [SPEAKER_00]: The acolyte not the acolyte the let's see other a one the one that I was just saying the and or the indoor is

[00:45:23] [SPEAKER_00]: back a

[00:45:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Yep

[00:45:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Do you think the Mandalorian and Grogu is going to be the actual name of the movie?

[00:45:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Every time I hear someone say that and that's all anyone calls it. I'm like

[00:45:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Can we stop with that can we get a good name like the Mandalorian and Grogu? Yeah, it sounds like

[00:45:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Turner and hooch, you know right yeah, it's Tom Hanks in this show in the movie

[00:45:51] [SPEAKER_00]: So hopefully they do give it a different name, but and it was funny

[00:45:57] [SPEAKER_00]: the ears up people were doing a whole review of the entire d23 and

[00:46:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Jason was saying

[00:46:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Disney is scrubbing anybody who took video

[00:46:08] [SPEAKER_00]: during the Star Wars and Marvel

[00:46:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Presentations and we're trying to post them on the internet. They were getting shut down DC made and all that stuff

[00:46:18] [SPEAKER_00]: And they didn't give piece of people who talked about it were like it wasn't even a preview

[00:46:24] [SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't even a trailer. It was just like some clips that were like thrown together

[00:46:29] [SPEAKER_00]: But Disney is not letting and they didn't last year at d23

[00:46:34] [SPEAKER_00]: They like live stream the whole thing right none of it was live stream this year

[00:46:37] [SPEAKER_00]: So if you weren't there, you know you don't get to see it

[00:46:42] [SPEAKER_00]: so anything that was Marvel and Disney is being scrubbed from from

[00:46:46] [SPEAKER_00]: The interwebs

[00:46:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Right once Disney officially puts it out. Yeah, ain't no putting the Robert Downey jr. Dr.

[00:46:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Doom back in the back in the cage. No yes, it's out now yeah

[00:46:59] [SPEAKER_00]: And then this one will be fun Lego Star Wars rebuild the galaxy did you see this trailer?

[00:47:04] [SPEAKER_02]: This is like the what-if yeah, DLE for Star Wars with Darth Darth, George

[00:47:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, so my son sent it to me and at first I thought it was a game, right?

[00:47:13] [SPEAKER_00]: I was like dude. This would be so be a great game a great game. Yeah, because like I first off

[00:47:18] [SPEAKER_00]: I love the Lego Star Wars games. They're all so much fun

[00:47:21] [SPEAKER_00]: I I played the crap out of Batman one was like one of the first ones

[00:47:26] [SPEAKER_00]: I got every character kept playing over and over again. It was awesome

[00:47:30] [SPEAKER_00]: So and then the Star Wars started with just episode four I had everyone for that one and whatever

[00:47:37] [SPEAKER_00]: So watching and I was like oh, this is gonna be an awesome game

[00:47:40] [SPEAKER_00]: You can play as Darth Jar Jar, you know like it but it's an actual movie. So it'll be interesting

[00:47:46] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know really a straight to Disney Plus sort of oh, yeah, it's definitely gonna be straight to Disney Plus

[00:47:53] [SPEAKER_00]: it's

[00:47:54] [SPEAKER_00]: At one point it did say when it was coming out, but I think it's coming out in like November

[00:48:02] [SPEAKER_00]: This has a big article oh here we go September 13th, okay

[00:48:05] [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, so that's not far at all so

[00:48:08] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm wondering if it's probably only going to be 30 minutes

[00:48:12] [SPEAKER_00]: That's not a movie. I know I can't see it being much longer than that all the Star Wars

[00:48:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Lego

[00:48:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Specials specials that they come out on Disney Plus are no longer than 30 minutes

[00:48:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe 40 tops right but uh, but they're all pretty short

[00:48:29] [SPEAKER_00]: So with all the hype and and the preview for this was like a three-minute preview

[00:48:34] [SPEAKER_00]: I hope it's longer than than 30 minutes, but yeah, so it should be a lot of fun

[00:48:38] [SPEAKER_00]: So that was the other thing that came out at D 23

[00:48:40] [SPEAKER_00]: so that is our rundown of everything at D 23 if you have ideas for

[00:48:47] [SPEAKER_00]: things to put on our book checklist of things to

[00:48:51] [SPEAKER_00]: To check off when you're reading a Star Wars book. Yeah, you got some our way

[00:48:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but we gotta get that

[00:48:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Hot off the presses get that printed out so you could throw it on your Star Wars books at home

[00:49:01] [SPEAKER_02]: That's right sure can so

[00:49:03] [SPEAKER_02]: You have anything else you want to add? No, I mean it's been it's a pretty succinct sort of I mean

[00:49:07] [SPEAKER_02]: There's as oddly enough like you know there's not a whole lot going on while there's a whole lot going on

[00:49:13] [SPEAKER_02]: You know the we're just kind of waiting for the next thing. Yeah, let's hope the next thing is good

[00:49:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Let's hope the next thing is good. Yeah, so let's hope that oh one more thing

[00:49:21] [SPEAKER_00]: There was a Star Wars fortnight starting. It's already out there now starting August 12th. Oh good

[00:49:26] [SPEAKER_02]: So I play fortnight every now and then okay

[00:49:29] [SPEAKER_02]: I

[00:49:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Don't often, but I do when I see Star Wars back. Yeah, so it's actually fun

[00:49:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah

[00:49:36] [SPEAKER_00]: You can get IG eleven skin moth Gideon in full armor and a wearable add-on or back bling

[00:49:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, design to look like Grogu. Oh nice backpack. That's great

[00:49:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the very first time when they had first had the Mandalorian on fortnight

[00:49:51] [SPEAKER_00]: I my son was playing in a lot at that point in time, and I was like gotta get it

[00:49:55] [SPEAKER_00]: So he still has if you get the skin you keep them forever

[00:50:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah

[00:50:00] [SPEAKER_00]: so it would be fun to add have the Mandalorian skin from like three times ago that it was on and then add the

[00:50:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Grogu in a backpack. Yeah, maybe like set that's true

[00:50:10] [SPEAKER_02]: So and they do it cool with that because like they they add like weapons

[00:50:14] [SPEAKER_02]: So like you can pick up like a lightsaber and like a blaster and a wookie bowcaster and stuff

[00:50:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah

[00:50:18] [SPEAKER_02]: They did the same thing with like Avatar or the last airbender you could pick up airbending and waterbending and fire all that stuff

[00:50:24] [SPEAKER_02]: So like I'm not huge on fortnight, but when they do those events they're actually they do it with Marvel and stuff

[00:50:29] [SPEAKER_00]: That's all pretty fun. Yeah. Oh one last thing. I want to add I forgot all about this, but it's

[00:50:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Your favorite thing the Disney parks because I know you go all the time every chance

[00:50:38] [SPEAKER_00]: I get every chance every spare seven thousand dollars. I have yep. You're always going so the Millennium Falcon ride

[00:50:46] [SPEAKER_00]: They're adding a

[00:50:49] [SPEAKER_00]: extra

[00:50:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Action to it where you're be able a playable update that will bring Din Djarin and Grogu to the interactive ride at Disney parks

[00:50:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Inside Star Wars Galaxy's Edge, so you're still gonna be flying the Millennium Falcon, but now

[00:51:03] [SPEAKER_00]: One of the and then ain't get into a lot of details like you don't know if

[00:51:06] [SPEAKER_00]: It's just gonna be random like you go through one time and you're doing the regular Millennium Falcon ride

[00:51:12] [SPEAKER_00]: You go through a second time and suddenly Din Djarin flies up next to you and is banging on the glass

[00:51:17] [SPEAKER_00]: You know help me do this instead

[00:51:20] [SPEAKER_00]: So they haven't really got into a lot of details

[00:51:23] [SPEAKER_00]: but they are adding a Mandalorian element into the Millennium Falcon smugglers run which will be good because

[00:51:30] [SPEAKER_00]: And Millennium Falcon smugglers runs been out for a couple years now, and they haven't really done any update

[00:51:36] [SPEAKER_00]: He's a fresher. Yeah, and and like the neat thing is they did this with

[00:51:42] [SPEAKER_00]: The other this flight simulator one the

[00:51:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Right stuff the right stuff remember that one. I do remember that movie. Those are great movie, but they had the right stuff

[00:51:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, either Disney or

[00:51:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Might have been universal, but when I was a kid I remember going on the right stuff thing

[00:51:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that's funny Star Tours is the one that I'm thinking of that's the Star Wars

[00:52:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I guess that's probably a little more a little more

[00:52:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the right stuff, but the Star Tours one they kept adding things to it

[00:52:09] [SPEAKER_00]: So like when it first came out you had like one of like nine options

[00:52:12] [SPEAKER_00]: And then when they went all digital you had like one of 46 options sure and now it's up to

[00:52:19] [SPEAKER_00]: Higher than that because they keep adding different scenes. So sometimes you go to this scene and sometimes you go to that scene

[00:52:25] [SPEAKER_00]: And it's cool

[00:52:26] [SPEAKER_00]: So now they're gonna be able to do the same thing with the money Millennium Falcon as well because it's all it's all based on

[00:52:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Unreal Engine gameplay. Yeah, so so it's pretty cool

[00:52:36] [SPEAKER_00]: ears up was saying this that somebody had video of it what like

[00:52:41] [SPEAKER_00]: The program actually crashed while they were playing

[00:52:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah and out in front of the screen of the one in Falcon was like a window screen

[00:52:50] [SPEAKER_02]: It's pretty funny and it was like they had to like reboot it or whatever

[00:52:53] [SPEAKER_02]: But I always think it's funny when I'm like at like either like Wawa or something that has like a touchscreen and uh-huh

[00:52:59] [SPEAKER_00]: That's happening. So I can only imagine being at Disney at Disney and seeing it there. Yeah, it'd be pretty funny

[00:53:04] [SPEAKER_00]: So that's that's pretty exciting for the people who like to go to the parks

[00:53:07] [SPEAKER_00]: They're doing a little bit of update to galaxies edge, which is awesome piece galaxy's edge is

[00:53:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Super super cool Brian who wrote our thing was just there. He was having a blast came back

[00:53:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, birthday today. Happy birthday. Happy birthday Brian. Yeah, so yeah, so that's that so that's our show

[00:53:22] [SPEAKER_01]: I got nothing on our show. My name is Nick and that's Robert

[00:53:26] [SPEAKER_02]: It is me Robert you might know him as Bob if you knew him if you knew me

[00:53:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so yeah, or if you knew him from his Starhood family double dare days

[00:53:34] [SPEAKER_02]: That's right and we here at ban the milk podcast have indeed spoken we have spoken
