Speaker 1 (00:00):
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Welcome to always hold on to Star Wars because just
with the internet needed. On the podcast talking about Star Wars,
I'm one of your host Cavante, and I have alongside
in my two usual co host mister Chris, Hello there,
and Joey.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
We're back again for another one.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
We are. Yeah, we're back for another new Disney Plus
Star Wars show, which I mean, I don't want to
tip my hand a little bit too much. Apparently people
kind of like, which, what do we do with this?
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Hold our breath? We're on some kind of adventure. I
guess I a real adventure.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I have such a no. Obviously, we're talking about Skeleton Crew,
and then we're gonna get into the first two episodes
which released. We'll pay our bills and have all that
information at a moment. But before we get into that,
I feel excited about the response of this show. I
want to say it off top. It's really nice to
see people generally positive about Star Wars at the moment.
We're just two episodes in. Of course, all this good
(01:32):
will and favor can be gone in a matter of days,
but for the time being, I'm gonna kind of bask
in this reception of a show.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
You know, I watched the show and I just wish
that I had it when I was younger. I mean,
this show makes me feel like something that I used
to dream about when I was a kid, having lightsaber
fights with my buddies, waiting for the bus. Yeah, dreaming
of being a Jedi summer off. While I'm taking a
standardized test, all of.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
It standardized test.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
By the way, I'm gonna continue my therapy session that
ended at the last Disney Plus show when we did
our Acolyte finale review. I am going to zero dark thirty.
In terms of the Internet here, I'm not getting involved.
I'm clear, I don't. I genuinely don't know what people
(02:22):
are saying. I explained during the Acolyte my Jared Goff
conundrum where somebody tells me Jared Goff is a Hall
of Famer and I say, ah, he's not, and then
I talk myself into and then I'm eventually saying that
he's trash, which I know I'm wrong, which I was
doing the opposite with the Acolyte. The entire time. People
were saying, Oh, this isn't good, So I'm like building
it up even higher. So I'm just staying away from
(02:45):
the discourse. I just want to talk about the show
and stay as level as I can because I know
myself so this is a healing journey for me, and
I had a lot of fun watching this show.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Awesome, I gotta.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Say too, this show in particular, the way we're attached
to it so much from the beginning. I think that
regardless of the story, and we'll talk about the story,
but the pacing and the way you immediately are in
with all the characters and you don't have a billion
questions about who's this person, where they come from, why
are they doing this, how do they connect to them?
(03:18):
You just feel right in with them and understand it,
and you can follow the story, and the story is
paced very well. I think that's a sharp contrast to
what we just came off of with the Accolade, and
I think, yeah, that's bringing in a lot of good will.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
I think we'll get into it, but I mean it
opens up shot for shot is a new hope.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Yeah, like you was saying, Chris, it's definitely because like
you know, when we were kids, which would be around
the eighties, and like that there's a big vibe in this.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Joey Joeys born ninety four, by childhood was I had
Star Wars coming out in my childhood.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
So but yeah, we'll get in all that with certain
points of view and everything. I guess we need to
let everyone know the details about the show and someff
like that, right, so we need to hop into that.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Yeah, let's get our castle rundown.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Episode one, This Could Be a Real Adventure, aired on
December second, twenty twenty four, was written by Christopher Ford
and directed by John Watts. The premiere introduces a central
group of children, whim Burn, KB and Neil, living on
the quiet planet of at Atten. They discover a hidden
starship buried in the forest. Fueled by youthful curiosity and
(04:37):
dreams of adventure, they accidentally activate the ship and are
launched into space. The episode blends excitement with foreboding as
the kids face their first taste of galactic peril. Episode two,
Way Way Out Past the Barrier, aired on December second,
twenty twenty four, was also written by Christopher Ford and
(04:58):
directed by John Watts. Continuing directly from the first episode,
the children find themselves lost in the galaxy struggling to
adapt to their new environment, they encounter a pirate threat
and begin to learn the skills they'll need to survive.
Jude log characters jod Nah now would I don't think
we actually heard his name, so no.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
But it is credited that way everywhere, so I think it's.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Okay, Okay, I'm just hoping I'm pronouncing it right, is
introduced as a morally ambiguous adult who serves as both
a guide and a challenge to the group. The episode
heightens the tension, showcasing both dangers of their uncharted journey
and the bonds that begin to form between them.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Yeah, so that's pretty much it. I mean, they launched
us right into the world. We get a real feel
for who the characters are, we live with them, and
the episodes premiere together. You could watch.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Straight through the usual Disney Plus style, which I think
was a strong choice, especially for this they how disappointed?
Would we have been weak? Two with that? Twenty minutes?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yah? Know it?
Speaker 4 (06:01):
It's twenty minutes and the other one. The other one
ended right when they launched an hyperspace.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
I remember, yeah, when the first time of the ends,
I was like, oh, oh, okay, good listen I got the
second episode right now because they had me hooked. I was, uh, yeah,
I was. I was ready to check it out. I
hope that these episodes hover at least the thirty five
to forty five minute.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
It feels like we're saying that for every Disney Plus
show that comes out now that Star Wars.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
It's just so weird because like you don't have any restraints,
you know. It's like I don't know, I mean, there's
probably more reasons above my head and understanding why these
can't be, you know, two hour long movies every episode.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
And maybe it was watching them together, but I did
not feel short changed. That's time true.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
No, So like I think together it's like what a
little over solid hour of enough, you know, story building
and character understanding for Yeah, now I'm ready to is what?
It's only six more episodes.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Right, eight? Totally yep?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Yeah, so I'm ready for this next six episodes. I'm
I'm locked in.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
I think we should get into our points of view.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
You're going to find that many of the truths we
cling to depend richly on our own point of view.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
All right, so what comparison are we leading with? Are
we gonna call it?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Goony Star Wars, The Lord of the Five Star Star Wars,
Stranger Thing, Guardians of the Galaxy Star Wars.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Uh well, I mean, if we have to pick one,
I would I would go with probably the most obvious one,
which is everyone says the Goonies because of the Pirates,
you know, and also I love the Goonies so much,
and I.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
So again the age barriers a gonna come out.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Oh no, please tell me.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
I think this is an assignment I have in the
next week.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
You've never seen the Goonies, Oh, Joey, I think I
think you'll enjoy it. Man. I I know a lot
of times when like people like, oh, you should watch
this old movie from when I was a child, and
sometimes you're like, this is just a move from the eighties, Like, no,
the Goonies is the Goonies is good if you like
this vibe, because you'll see very quickly when you watch
the Goonies, Oh this is I see what they were
(08:00):
going for, you know.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
I will report back next week. It's been a while
for me too. Maybe I should get her refresher. I
definitely seen it before.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
I know, the Goonies, but I've seen I've watched the
Goonies one hundred times. Man, it was one of my
mom's favorite movies because you guys notice my well, my
mom was a I'm a I was a My mom
was a teenager when she had me, so my mom
was very young in the eighties two. So like for her,
it was like her favorite movie is a teenager. It's
(08:27):
I grew up just watching it alongside my mom. But
I'm probably started off there instead of talking about how
I don't think it's weird at all, the suburbs in
Star Wars.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
No, No, that's.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Weird to me. Everyone was like, this doesn't seem right.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
How I think the only thing that we I could
quitble and understand is the like it doesn't need to
mirror Earth perfectly, you know, and start like like, oh,
this is a school bus. He's got his bicycle like, but
also I can fit right in. I can understand the complaints,
but it makes sense to me. There's a lot of
(09:05):
you know, human Earth aspects to it. You know, the suburbs,
the industrial area when you get into like apartment buildings
and that kind of stuff, the school, the transportation, all
of it. But they made it very Star Wars Z
with like droids running everything. Yeah, and you know, different
the fact that you have different alien species all around everywhere. Yeah,
(09:26):
the data pads that they're all using, that kind of stuff. Yeah,
those desks were cool. Yeah, like being able to do
like instead of giving everybody a chromebook, it's just in
the desk. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Yeah. I just I just I love the blend of
like because like, yeah, there's a bunch of like American
suburb style housing. But also they took a wide shot
of one of the houses in the interior. I was like,
it looks like it's from the seventies, but also looks
like it's futuristic, and that's Star Wars esthetic. I love
it exactly.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Yeah, but you know, I actually like that in this
expansive galaxy far far away, with thousands of planets and
all these different kind of locations we've seen, there can
be one that mirrors a little bit of what humans
have done. And it's like, yeah, that kind of makes sense.
If there's every type of person out there, building every
kind of society, why wouldn't there be one that kind
of similarly reflects ours. So that's kind of cool. Also,
(10:17):
it got all my kids, which I watched this with
my four sons. My daughter's passed on this one.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
I don't know why.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Maybe I can get him into it. On episode three,
all my sons watched it and they were just smitten
to see characters like having to you know, my kids
are homeschool so it's not like they get up and
catch the bus and everything. But it was kind of cool.
Seem like a kid in Star Wars have like his
dad'd be like, do your homework and go to bed,
Like he's like yeah, you know. They immediately felt connected
to the characters. They felt like they could be those characters.
Which that's the best part about these kind of stories
(10:46):
is in putting yourself in it, right.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Yeah, and they stole from and Or we got Star
Wars cereal again.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Yeah yeah, Blue Milk.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Showing us this world and letting us live in it
for a little while. Like we don't just pick up
on the day that this all happens, it's like the
day before. Thing can set up for it, so we
get to understand the background for all the characters that
we're going to go along with. I thought that was
that was solid for us to start out that way.
But I also think they did a really good job
of starting out with the pirates. So, like we saw
(11:14):
the Mando verse that we're living in, a direct character
from the Mandalorian show that's been including on this. We
saw that first, so we saw how that's going out
in the galaxy still where.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
We are, that's and that audience that's familiar. Yeah, and
then and then we go here, which is like, it's
familiar because it's our home and our world, but it
was weird because it's Star Wars. And then we could
get whisked back into what we know was Star Wars.
So I thought that was cool.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Mm hmmm. So what do we think of the kids?
I love the Elephant kid, Neil.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Neil, Neil Neil so sweet. I I I love once again.
I am a fan of like this style of like
the young coming of age in adventure movies. Even as
an adult, I still like them. So they all kind
of have like these archetypes they all fit into. I
think they all did really well with it. You have
(12:07):
you have your your scared nervous one. You have your
your your your tough brash girl who's kind of like
a bully because she's bigger than everyone. H You have
your your your, your your main boy who's undersized but
has a big heart and kind of a little clueless,
but also.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Just kind of brave and adventurous and almost.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Like a false bravado, like doesn't realize what to give
up too. And then you had down to the ethnicity,
your tech kid, your tech smart whiz kid data, you know, character,
and and then you will have our our adult lead,
which will be I guess jewe law whenever we see
what he does there. But no, I thought they all
performed really well. And yeah, I don't know, they weren't.
(12:46):
They weren't a They weren't a downtick for me.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
No, that like the dialogue and the interactions was witty. Yeah,
Neil calling him out for saying in class he wants
to be a jedizing No, I didn't, Well, he actually did,
and like that kind of interaction. You know, all the
stuff with Fern once you break her down, once you
break her initial projection of strength down, is she's she's
(13:09):
real and she kind of understands things a little better
than most her age. Yeah, that kind of stuff, like
the the stereotypes of all the kids and where they
would fall and those it's played really well here. They
play off each other. Well, and they are those things,
but it's not to an annoying factor. It's not to
a detriment of the story yet.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Yeah, I'm sure you guys really related with the pretend
lightsaber fight. I mean because when you were kids, they
probably hadn't yet invented the actual toy lightsabers. Oh yeah,
I would put my toy lightsabers in my backpack and
go to my friend Josh's house and we would have
lightsaber battles in his driveway with real lightsabers.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Flashlights, man, the flash lights in the dark.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Man, I remember. I remember my dad telling me, is
like back when I was a kid, we had to
use sticks, you.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Know what I use more than anything. It's actually kind
of in world. My cousin had a toy escape pod.
Oh that's cool that that the droids had got on
in New Hope. But it was like just shaped enough
to be like the handle the hilt of a lightsaber.
So that's that's what it would be my lightsaber for
a lot of times pretend.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
But uh no, the kids are great. The world is
really what I got interested by because as this first
episode goes on, and you'll learn especially more in a
second episode. This is a place we've i mean we've
never been here, right, heard of this place and the
way it's run nobody has.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Yeah, time for crazy predictions. I feel like this might
be like Egos World and Guarding the Galaxy too, like
it like it's kind of made up, but life has
taken off on its own, but it's secluded and it's
its own thing, like something like that. That's what I'm
getting the vibe of.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
So they reference the Republic. They don't say the New Republic,
they say the Republic. The kids have old Republic credits
that are in great shape. They are working towards what's
called the Great Work, which is a high Republic era thing.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Mmm.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
So they might just be really stuck in the past
with no connection to the outside.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Of And they're talking a lot of Jedi, you know,
like it's not because we know that the rest of.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
The thousands of Jedi out there doing things.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Yeah, and like, oh, this is one of those cool
hidden Jedi temples. Like if you were thinking that, like
you're and you're you'd be looking over your shoulder for
stormtroopers even though it's the New Republic era. Yeah, people
still aren't going to be openly talking like that even.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Kids Orlando has no idea about Jedi.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Yeah, so that that is what really got me excited
about it, and I bought, like, you know, they have
this kind of society where, you know, like I said,
everyone's going towards the great work. The droids kind of
run everything, and the people are like kind of determined
at a young age what they're going to do in society.
And that's like it. And immediately when I see this
(15:56):
kid who's just like has this like adventure as hard
as like, okay, I that I would not want to
be on this planet. That would be horrible for him,
as he kind of rebels against that in his own
little way and he finds adventure and drags his friend
and then the two other people who become in his crew.
By the time they were shooting off the space. Uh.
Just little tiny details about this about the child actors
(16:19):
that I really really love. You're talking about their their
their conversations being witty and snappy and feeling real. When
they get up in the spaceship and they leave the
atmosphere and they passed through to they pass through the
barrier and they go on to hyperdrive and they don't
know what's happening. Like they reacted like I think I
would have reacted to see and that. Yeah, and I
love that. Like that right there makes me believe.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
If you watch it again, watch Fern, the one who's
supposed to be like the tough one in that she
is terrified.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Terrified but yeah, just little tiny details about that, which
means great acting and it was well directed and that's
really exciting. Uh because I remember I remember we uh
because Chris, you and I watched this twice Bobaos twic Joey,
I don't know if you got through it a second
time before we record it.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Nope, I finished about five minutes before.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
But uh, I remember you were watching it christ first
time and you were like, uh, this dad is just
awful garbage and no, it's fun. The first time I
watched it, I was like, I was like, oh, you know,
this kind of looks just like a single dad working
his butt off. And also I just love seeing black
dads represent its. I was like, Okay, it's good.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
You know.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Like then the second time watching it, his son is
getting whisked away in a ship and he doesn't say anything,
he just stares. But then I was like, maybe that's intentional.
Maybe there's something about these people once they get in
their roles, they kind of become this docile like single
track mom. I don't know. It just felt so not
(17:47):
realistic for him to move that way.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
That's why I was kind of making the ego reference
or even like WandaVision, like somehow these kids are not
yet like connected to it.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
But you kind of get a contrasted when you look
at Neil's fan, which is that has two parents, but
they're loving and supportive. Even Fern's mom she seems like
she's loving and supportive. She's a little bit naive as
to what her daughter's doing and everything, but she she
seems to all. I mean, Wendell is his name, Yeah,
Whim's dad. He's been at work all day, comes home
(18:18):
just in time, first kid to go to bed, can't
even give his kid a bedtime story. Yeah, no, you
gotta get back to work. That was kind of yeah
no uh.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
And then that was like the way he berated him
at school like that was yeah, but I.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Get it because you have to set up you have
to set up that the fact that something's lacking at
home to make him want to look elsewhere.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Yeah, yeah, he had a good home. He would lead.
But yeah, yeah, which makes every other character why they're
mad about like why does she because they're just like
we're eating trouble or Neil, we're gonna get so much.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
He clearly does care.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
He went looking for him in the woods, and if
you you know, there's shots in the trailer of him
like pushing to go look for his son. But is
he is he looking because he's worried about his son
or is he looking because he doesn't want to sound
exposing what's going on on this planet.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
I'm sure it could be that way, but I didn't
get that feel like if you watch the trailer again,
there's like there's scenes in the trailer where he's arguing
with Fern's mom about we have to go look for them,
find them. I mean, I guess it could go to
what you're saying there. I don't know that there's anything.
I wonder if there's anything said a start, But then again,
they the pirates all think that at Atten is like
(19:27):
the planet of eternal treasure and it's a myth, so
there's got to be something there that they're protecting.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
But no, just everything about it took me to just
thinking about, you know, how I would have reacted to
seeing this. He stumbles upon something by mistake, trying to
hurry up to get to school because he overslept. We've
all been there. He tried to take a short cut. We've
all been there. It didn't work. We've all been there.
Did he find something that he immediately assumes is a
(19:52):
Jedi temple, which is hilarious because of course you would
want it to be that. And he tries to, you know, like,
they get in there and it's a ship and they're
they're shot off. I don't know how that ship survived
to take off under the ground. What the ship doing there?
I'm like, that's that's I'm saying. I'm the mystery, the
threads they've laid out. I'm actually excited to figure out
what was the Jedi. I don't know if it's a starship.
(20:15):
We don't even know what it's a Jedi ship? Do
we know it was a pirate ship?
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Pirates?
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Yeah, the pirate ship. What's this parkership doing as planet?
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Is nothing Jedi about it? That's just when why?
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Yeah, that's just wanted it to Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
The mysteries of this one are a little more intriguing
because it's it's like basic following the story, you're not
gonna know all this, You're not gonna know how that
ship got there first. So you're finding out it's not
where like we're being mysteriously or we're being purposely misled
to believe a mystery, and that that's the difference of it,
Like the intrigue and the suspense is real based on
the situation, not manufactured for us to watch the next episode.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
This this is also what I think I mean. I
don't want to say I expect it to sound like
like like I had a great idea what it should be,
but this is kind of what I want. When it
says a Star Wars story before the title, this is
kind of what I'm looking for. I don't need this
to be about the Skywalkers or connected to any way anymore.
I don't need care. I don't need to see plagas.
(21:11):
I don't need I don't need to see connections to
the main story that we all know and all have
loved and read and watched and you know, participated in.
I'm just kind of curious to see what's happening on
other apps now. If this ends up connecting to some
larger way to the greater universe. It could, I don't know.
You know, it is a property of Star Wars, so
it may. But like it would be really cool if
this is just an adventure about some kids on a
(21:31):
planet and it has a resolution at the end. Yeah,
and you know that that's just that was a Star
Wars story. That's a story to happen Galaxy. If that happens,
I doubt it, honestly, because you know, everything needs to
be connected to Star Wars.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
And I'm fine with a cameo that makes sense.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Give me that's not even a cameo though, that's a
new character.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
And in a place like we were in the second
episode Owed and Hondo and Naka is just sitting there
like that'd be that'd be fine.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Hondo's the greatest character everybody almost everywhere, like every every
time we need a cameos like Hondo.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
There's a lot of speculation that this is gonna just
lead into Mandalorian and Grogu and Ahsoka season two, so
that like maybe like this will get tied into like
Thrawn somehow.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
I hope, I hope not, unless it's just he's back,
Unless he's back home and his parents are watching suburban
Fox News or CNN of of Star Wars, and they're
just like, oh, grand animal, throw on his back. He's
taking charge of the Imperial forces, and and like we
just see that in that background.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
That's good. We need some law and order in his universe, right, Yeah,
the galaxy needs order.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Or just like I mean, if you're just like flying
by and you just see Mando and Grogu like in
the spaceport, like just walking past that, those things are fine.
But I don't think we need big tie ins for
what this show looks like it's trying to do.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Speaking of tie ins and Jedi and all these things, Uh,
what is Judlaw's character's name.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Again, Dumbledore?
Speaker 2 (23:07):
I'm sorry, Doumbledore John Watson, I captain in the World
of Tomorrow, Jod not now would, Okay, So he presumably
used the force.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
So this is interesting. I think that they're not letting
on a lot about him. So he's obviously gonna have
a big part. He's i think been credited in areas
as Jedi Master Jod not Nowood.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
What I'm sitting here trying to figure out is timing
and in years and age. If he is Canaan's age,
like he was a padawan during the Clone Wars during
Order sixty six, I can follow the line that maybe
he is about the right age right now.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
Well, he's about the same age as you can assume.
He's probably around the age of balen ye as school
and we're only nine ab y with the show.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Okay, mm hmm.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Is he the character the pirate character from the beginning,
the captain the gets captured? Because the voice sounds eerily similar,
I was pretty certain it was the caption say silvo, Okay.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
I want to think he is a Jedi. I really do.
So that's where I'm at.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
If he's a Jedi, would he be leading a pirate
crew to kill a bunch of people on a New
Republic ship to break into that vault?
Speaker 3 (24:20):
No, well maybe Cayan would.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
My first thought was, okay, are they going to service?
And he's like a dark side us you know, you know.
But I'm like, well that's too obvious because are they
banking it. It's not connecting that first pirate in him
being the same character. But then I was like, well,
why would a Jedi? Like now, I was like, okay,
what were those pirates looking for and was he looking
for something else using those pirates to get to those things,
(24:46):
because I didn't see him running in their gunning everyone down.
He came in after it all done. I'm not saying
that's what the Jedi should do, but I didn't see
him kill anyone. Yeah, he punch guy.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
And the credit the credit they find they have the
Jedi symbol on it.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Yeah, you know, or maybe he's just a Maybe he's
just a sports she used it. It became a pirate
after after the Jedi Order fail. I mean, like, I'm
sure it happened.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Got to find a way to survive.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Real Alvaross is out there somewhere, you know.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Like the reason the reason I think that it's him
in the beginning is because one he's wearing a mask. Yeah,
and a lot of times in the Star Wars, if
you're wearing a mask, it's very easy to do a
voice modulator or some kind of voice change, and you
specifically don't have that. You have him speaking, and there
are words that come out of his mouth there that
sound very jew Lash, So I think I would think
(25:31):
that's intentional.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Yeah, but yeah, we'll find out.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Yeah, that's the fun thing. Like, like the issue with
like this hour long is like it was good. It
felt tightly packed and like we have some interesting characters,
but we don't know what's going on. And that's good
because I'm I'm interested in learning what's going on. It's
not like, oh God, what you know? Like you been there,
you know, and this is like, okay, cool, who is
this character? What's that character?
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Is?
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Each show just gonna keep making more droids that I like,
like like this, I'm feeling bad for like the O
G droids Man because a new cool droid C three
PO just can't yeah, watching him like wobble around now
and I'm watching his peg leg Pirate one punch people
and like.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Hey, we're about to get the best droid back and
and or season two O k K two that's he's
the goat.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
So this this droid that we're talking about, he's named
s M thirty three. Did you guys get the Disney reference?
Speaker 3 (26:31):
No, I was, I was assuming there was some kind
of reference. What is it?
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Well, it spells out sme, so it's like Captain hook
and smee.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Oh oh, I love the first mate. I love that.
That is real.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
Quick before we go back talking about the droid the
name of the planet at Adam. Are they targeting this
debate about whether they're at eighties.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Or at at dude? Probably it has.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
To be right.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Yeah, I love that anyway. Droid smee. He's just a
likable guy.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
He's fun and and and it brings it brings a
big question to mine. In sports conversations, you're always saying
the Mount Rushmore of this, the aroout Mount Rushmore of that.
We need to take a pause. What is the droid
Mount Rushmore?
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
I want to say R two and three po have
to be there, but R two or two for sure? Yeah?
One three pos the Thomas Jefferson of Mount Rushmore. I mean.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
I know how much that means. You could three K
two s o mm hmm.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
Chopper copper.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Yes, it's like b D one Yeah, No, b D
one does not get a place.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
I loved one.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Don't like BD one. Uh. What's who's the I G eleven? Yeah?
Oh yeah, the Droid outlaws. What's his name?
Speaker 4 (27:54):
And five or something like that?
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Yeah, yeah, indeed something yeah five, he's cool.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
I like to be a not in the conversation either.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Something any something joined a trench coat I mean, come
on now, Indeed were the trench coat man.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
And and he's pretty sick.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
No as the only trench the only acceptable trench coat
is ob one with Leah hiding underneath.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Bad bane.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
R four He's a rebellion hero.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
He is he is a hero.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
He is a hero. R four unsung, barely talked about
hero and Star Wars R four Uh no, man, look that,
Look it's it's our two. Ok So right, I.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Feel like the listeners have to send us something. Just
what's your joined mount? Rushmore?
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Indy and who else we got? We got one more?
Speaker 4 (28:45):
I see a trend there, the K two S O
and n D. There you battle Joys going.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
I like, look, I'll take a battle day of a
protocol George, I would too, I would. I want to.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
I want to know Roger from the the Lego show Rogers.
I love Roger.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Oh and Chopper, Yeah, Chopper who had hills in the
entirety Starter universe.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
I don't know. As much as I don't like the sequels,
compared to everything else, I would put BB eight over Chopper.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Disney wants you to do that.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Disney wants you to do all the stuff with the
new Choice. I like, but bbaight's cool man with the.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
I like BED one better than BB eight.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
I do like I do like BD one better than
the BBA two, But a lot of people don't wan
who bea D one is? Yeah, you gotta play the
video games.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Yeah, bad one is amazing.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
All Right, We're gonna this conversation another day.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
Maybe maybe we'll get more. Maybe we'll get more to
add throughout as the show goes up.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Yeah, I'm talking. What more to say about the show,
because like, like I mean, it's kind of the premise.
You got, you got your your four kids, you understand
kind of who they are, the pirates. The makeup is
all great. This show definitely looks better then the then
then than a previous one. There's still moments we can
be like this is you know, this is a television
show and the budget is getting pressed here.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
But we got Steve Verkle as a pirate.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
That's crazy. Almost didn't recognize Jude Joe White, real White. Yes,
almost didn't recognize him. But he's in there. That's cool
to see him. I love seeing people getting Star Wars
who probably have been fans of it their whole life.
That's cool.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
Yeah, he was I saw like an interview with him.
He's super excited to be able to be in the world.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
It's awesome. Man.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
We got the one pirate what's his name, Vaine who
was in the Mandalorian. Yes, he's the one who was
going to get his breathing sack cut.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
Speaking of outlaws though, that table where they're eating the
food and you got the the waiter talking like that
a very outlaws feel to it. If you've played enough,
did the show kind of the pirates of the show
kind of give you an outlaw feel to it, Like
a port in space you're landing and interact and.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Yeah, and also like I just I just love the
creativity of Star Wars Man, Like just something as simple
as when they jumped to the to the pirate port.
Just the manner of how they shuttle to the port
completely necessary. You could have just cut to them being
walking in the port. But the fact that you showed
(31:07):
how they get from the ship to there with that
little tiny bus cart with a little tiny person doing it,
that's like I love that. Just little things like that,
like how their world works just fascinate me. I love it.
They had that also back on at atle or however
you pronounced the planet at a at adam. Their their
bikes had little like stringers on the side, man like
(31:30):
like like they had little streamers on their bikes in
the sea, little neat running away, dude running his little
backpack on and like, I don't know, just a bunch
of cute kids. Man, I'm a dad now, so this
stuff is. I was like, oh, I look at these
little kids going to school. They're standing studying for I
love when.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
They're playing with the lightsabers and the one gets his
arm cut off.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
The other one's like, ah, my guts are everywhere snow.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Like a half no, and like you know, like little things,
uh you know, Neil having a crush on that that
other girl in its class. It's just like, if you
are a fan of this genre, like you're gonna love this.
And I hope people who probably might think, ah, this
may be for me, Like, no, this is for you, man,
Like it's good, it's it's interesting.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
Yeah, And if it's not, if the genre isn't your
wee house, just just check out. Say I'm good. You
don't have to sit there and say how bad it is.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Yeah, don't watch, don't watch. Eight episodes and say you
but you didn't like it, It's okay if you don't
like it. But I'm telling you that, uh. I mean,
I think I think I'm sharing its depaining with you guys.
I don't want to speak for all three of us,
but I think that it's well directed. The pacing is
great mm hmm, the story is interesting, and the performances
are good. Those things make go for a good show
for me.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Yes, I mean, only the biggest thing that's a failure
is in that little play Lightsaber fight, what you gotta do.
I don't know if you guys did this, but when
you cut a limb off, instead of saying, oh no,
like how you just like, all right, lightsaber can't be
in that hand anymore, and you just put behind your
back and then you hop on one leg and all
that kind of stuff. I don't know if you guys
(33:05):
did that, but that's the way to do it.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
I was that tough.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
You just you just keep moving.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Pleasant, pleasantly surprised. I don't think we had any expectations
for this.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
I don't think. I don't think I watched the trailer.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Yeah, ACCOLI did this don't work on us.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
We're still I'm still on my healing journey. That's what
this show is.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
A lot of the speculation pre show would say that
the success of it hinged on the likability of the kids,
because child actors are are hard to let send. And
I think so far the four that we have that
we're we're living with them probably going to stick with.
I think they're great.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and it helps it. The main the
main kid. It's very reminiscent of my own son, so
so much so my son had his hair braided for
Thanksgiving and we watched the episodes and he comes up
to me after he saik, dak, I take my hair down.
So yeah, sure, buddy, which is you know, it happens.
(34:06):
And so typically when he takes it down, like we
wash it and calm and stuff. He didn't want you
to Tom. He wanted to be this kind of wild
curly mess on his head. I don't know why he's
been suddenly interesting having a wild curly afro. But Solomon
is definitely enjoying watching the show. So shout with you, Solomon,
because he does listen.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
All right, I think it's time for Kev's crazy predictions.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Oh man, Okay, yeah, no, I had when I was
cooking up, but like, I don't have enough context of
the show yet. I think that the planet that they
are on is hidden intentionally because there is something very
very important on it that has something to do with Jedi.
And I think that this vault or whatever it is,
the Endless Riches or something like that has something to
(34:48):
do with the Force, and that's why Jude Law was
looking forward with his pirate crew, using them as a
means to find this place. That's my prediction. I hope
he's not Darth Darth Law. You know, Hope is that
a bad guy. I'm tired of hot, bad guys quick
confusing me guys crooked noses and hooks for hands again
(35:10):
like the old days, so I can know who too
for against Okay, I'm tired of being attracted to these villains. Yeah,
that's that's that's my crazy prediction. You guys got anything.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
I hope he I hope he's just a Jedi because
I'm tired of not tired of But when we've got
Balin in the same era kind of doing his thing,
I don't want it to be like a weird in
between kind of character.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
I don't think Darth makes sense in this era. So
I just hope let's just have a Jedi, like I honestly,
we haven't gotten a lot of that with new characters
and the new Cannon and the shows.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
I'm trying to think of like current Jedi in this era,
and I was like, this is this is Kyle Kisses
era too, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
Well, we don't know if he makes it this far.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Yeah, yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
Yeah, it would be cool to see a Jedi and
just another one and how that how they've been living
in this era and whether like maybe this person's not
still on their journey where Canaan was before he met
Ezra of just like I'm just doing this this stuff
and I'm not really a Jedi. I'm just interested. I
hope he's good hearted. He was in the Temple before
(36:19):
Order sixty six, and that's all I want.
Speaker 4 (36:21):
I hope so too. I hope he really is a
Jedi character and he's a good guy for the kids
and helps him out there I get. I think my
prediction is I think it's more that he is a
morally ambiguous character that is kind of self serving. More
is that he kind of did struggle with the force
to get the key a little bit like it didn't
(36:43):
come to easy note And if he could do that,
why hadn't he done it already to get out of there?
Instead he's just sitting in the shackles in the back.
But I think it's gonna be more of he's kind
of a self serving character and in the end he
grows and loved the kids and help him out.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Yeah, he's gonna hardgo hopefully.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
What if he's second generation? What if he was trained
by an Order sixty six.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Survivor and the not very well?
Speaker 3 (37:08):
But he's like TANGI. He's Yes, he's tangentially a Jedi
that kind of has been learned some of the principles.
His master's no longer around, was trained.
Speaker 4 (37:21):
Yeah, he's too old for that.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
He's Galen Merrick or mcaleen Merrick's dad, the Star Killer's dad. Yeah,
video game.
Speaker 4 (37:30):
He's Coyle guitar.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
Yeah, there we go.
Speaker 4 (37:33):
That would be I don't know if.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Jude called guitar, and I'd be really excited about that.
I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
All right, we ready to give a really Yeah, let's
go for it. I must speak with the Jedi Council
immediately the situation has become much more complicated.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
I'll start Man, so far, so good. Master. Here's hoping
that they continue on because they could possibly have a nice,
nice hit here. Man. They can spread across the white audiences,
kids and adult. It's gonna both love this. Which last
time I think that happened in the Star Wars project
was the Mandalorian. You know, so we'll see them. I
have another get on them.
Speaker 4 (38:07):
I'm gonna echo, I'll say, Master, I think this is
a nice fit for us right now around the holidays.
Like you said, Sefiequatch with family. It's filling between two
heavy Star Wars experiences between the Acolyte and then the
next after this is and Or Season two, which we
know gets pretty intense. So I think it's nice to
have this fun romp in the Star Wars world, meet
(38:29):
a whole ton of new characters, a world that we
can live in, a world they can expand on into
other seasons, doesn't necessarily have to tie in directly at
all the story. I love it so far. I hope
they keep it up.
Speaker 3 (38:40):
Yeah, I'll continue the chain here of Master. I'm excited.
I'm having a lot of fun. I don't have a
lot else to say, and this is a good era
where you can kind of do whatever you want and
the story doesn't feel like it's going to have implications
that we have to question a bunch of things. So
(39:00):
just have fun, do what you want, and I'll be happy.
Speaker 4 (39:04):
All right, Well, let's hand out some awards. Yeah, who
is your MVP of the episode?
Speaker 2 (39:10):
Neil? I mean, you know what, Like, honestly, like Neil,
I found myself chuckling at Neil the most. His design
is adorable and the practical slash CG either using is
really good. It's really good when like, like you know,
we were talking earlier, when he when they do to
jump in hyperspace, Neil like, it's one of the few
(39:30):
times you get to see his mouth actually because it's
such a it's it's so a gape because he's scared
because it typically trunk blocks it. You know, funny lines
like you know, stop breathing with your trunk. It's like,
I don't breathe with my trunk or something. Just funny
things like that.
Speaker 4 (39:42):
She's like close his trunk. He's like, well, I don't
talk with my trunk.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
It's just so adorable. I don't know, but yeah, it's
either him or is Win. I called him whim okay,
wi whim is your women? Is your prototypical character in
this But I don't know. My my favorite was Neil
wh Chris.
Speaker 4 (40:00):
I think Win's got some some growing to do before
he gets the MVP. I liked Fern.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
I think.
Speaker 4 (40:07):
Verry a lot of things. She kind of took over
and did the ship a little bit. But I agree
that I think I think it should be Neil.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
He's the he's the heart and souls. He's a glues,
seems like a hold.
Speaker 4 (40:17):
Everything together and I'm sure you get women in the
back room making.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
I wanted to be the m v P.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
Yeah, I'm gonna touch this button, like I think it's
like yeah, like he like he just came across as
like a kid who's excited and more so than like
a like I don't know. I wasn't getting annoyed by him,
but I was like, oh, man, I get it, dude,
you just want to touch like this is your first
time ever getting a chance to do these things. I
get it. What you gotta really in man, you know,
like real life.
Speaker 4 (40:41):
Now, Yeah, you feel a little bad for him because
he is the one who discovered it, and you know
he's not. This really wasn't all his fault that. I mean,
he did keep touching someth after everyone said don't, but
he has that annoying childish thing. It was like I
wanted to be the captain or this is mine. But
he also like recognized it too.
Speaker 3 (41:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (41:03):
Yeah, he takes a step back when he needs to
and and recognizes that he's not you know, he needs
to follow Fern's guide.
Speaker 3 (41:11):
Or he's he's totally going to press that button too, right.
Speaker 4 (41:16):
The whole description, but oh man, who makes the button
like that?
Speaker 3 (41:22):
Why do you need that.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
Comeback Award for the episode? I think there's really only
one nominee.
Speaker 2 (41:28):
Special we thought we speak of it again.
Speaker 4 (41:34):
You can say Star Wars coming back from the accolade, Yeah,
we'll star Wars.
Speaker 3 (41:39):
Yeah, let's do that.
Speaker 4 (41:40):
That's but I think really you gotta give it to Vain,
the one character that's come back from other Star Wars experiences.
Honorable mention to all the funny stuff that we're saying,
all right, who's your rookie of the episode, and we
have a lot to work with here.
Speaker 3 (41:56):
I love Neil.
Speaker 4 (41:57):
I did have Neil down for this too.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
Yeah. I mean, if if not Neil, then uh then
then I was gonna go find on this one because Fern, Yeah,
I really thought that her like taking over the situation
because she seems to be older than they're, not just bigger.
But she was like, you know, I killed the captain
and now I'm the captain. I'm the captain now, you know,
and like she kind of took charge. And you know,
(42:21):
even when I do, like like when the lady was
trying to help them, she was like skeptical. She's like, no,
you're trying to kidnap us. I don't know who you are.
Like that. She she doesn't seem dumb. She seems in
over her head, but she's not stupid. So I like
that about her.
Speaker 4 (42:33):
Yeah, you Fern, all right, who gets the skin ord
and convinced me it shouldn't be Whim's dad Wendell.
Speaker 3 (42:42):
Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 2 (42:45):
Read the story to your child man.
Speaker 4 (42:50):
A little bit more attention to him, yes, and none
of this would happen.
Speaker 2 (42:53):
Brother, We've all been busy with work. Look, look, you're
listening to the three fathers here, we know.
Speaker 3 (42:58):
But I was writing emails tonight and then I heard
time for a story. I've closed all laptop, read the story,
went back to work, like it's.
Speaker 2 (43:09):
Before this podcast started. I took my kids into bed.
I told them like, don't be like, are you too
old for that? Now? Man? Wait till they are waiting
him a fourteen year old looking you in the eyes,
and you can't read him a story or give him
hug anymore. He's like, dad, square up?
Speaker 4 (43:23):
Do you wait to that? I want to give him
a little credit because he's probably struggling as a single dad.
He does say like bedtime stories are here? A little
too old for that, and he says love you and
gives them a good amount of money apparently. But you
gotta be more, gotta be more aware.
Speaker 3 (43:39):
Man.
Speaker 2 (43:40):
Yeah, he's not a bad dad. He's just a app
He's just a he's too busy and he needs to
stop and take care of his kid a little bit more.
But yeah, I understand that. We're not saying he's a
piece of crap. Representation matters. I love seeing single dads.
I love seeing black dads. That's exciting for me. We exist,
so yeah, but you know, read read the beds. I'm sorry, man,
(44:01):
no hangout? Would you get a little bit more.
Speaker 3 (44:03):
And we all know who's winning the way toward mister Smith.
Speaker 2 (44:08):
Thank you, Chris.
Speaker 3 (44:09):
I will never forget this.
Speaker 2 (44:11):
Yeah, I didn't. I can I didn't see that. I
got Jedi Master. I'm a gunn die, but I didn't
get this.
Speaker 4 (44:20):
That's funny. I'm still killing myself over the fact that
I didn't get that to the tally board. Yeah, Canon Immigrants,
we have three. Yeah, so one is Borgo Prime, which
is the planet that the Port of Borgo Space Pirate
Space ort is on that originally appeared in the Young
(44:43):
Jedi Night books. We have a plus one for the
Star Wars Holiday special. Yeah, because when you're in Neil's
house and his little siblings are watching a show on
the hollow table that's direct from the Star Wars Holiday, it's.
Speaker 2 (45:03):
Like, who do you?
Speaker 4 (45:04):
How?
Speaker 1 (45:05):
What?
Speaker 2 (45:05):
Who? Who approved that?
Speaker 1 (45:06):
Like?
Speaker 2 (45:07):
Who do they have to ask to do that? You know,
that wasn't an easy request.
Speaker 3 (45:11):
I think it is. I think you just you slide
it in and they're like, what's this and you're just like,
I don't know, I just made it up.
Speaker 2 (45:16):
I mean, like George doesn't know they did that. He
didn't have to know anymore, right, But like.
Speaker 3 (45:21):
They did in Mando too, Mando, the the the gun,
the blast. I'm sorry that the disintegrates the I think
a little somebody with the pitchfork on it that was
also from the Holiday special with Polpa Feto. Now that
that little brief scene is canon, all we need now
(45:42):
is the Wookie Cooking Show and the The last entry
as a cannon immigrant is a little bit of a stretch,
but uh, the school buses with the droid drivers and
the voice on the bus, those are very reminiscent of
the ride Star tours from disney World.
Speaker 4 (46:00):
Then Disneyland.
Speaker 2 (46:03):
Can I share something with you guys about disney World
Disneyland that I just saw on the Internet and it
blew my mind absolutely. I've only been to Disneyland. You
have been to disney World.
Speaker 4 (46:13):
I know exactly what you're about to say.
Speaker 2 (46:14):
Yes, I always was confused on which was which, and
so you've seen this, Chris, you mount the internet. If
you spell them out, what has L A and one
has O or L for Orlando, you are in the
next what what land is in La? Didney World in Orlando?
Speaker 4 (46:35):
A new thing? That is like taking the Internet by storm.
Speaker 2 (46:37):
In the past week or so, my brain is finally
like my frontal lobe finally developed, Like I did, I
believe I didn't.
Speaker 4 (46:44):
I saw.
Speaker 2 (46:45):
I didn't see that.
Speaker 4 (46:47):
Oh I'm sure. Yeah, it's got to be a coincidence.
Speaker 2 (46:49):
Yeah, it's a coincidence. Definitely. I doubt they planned that.
Speaker 4 (46:51):
But because it's not actually remember and Orlando, it's it's
Anaheim and that's where you're flying, like, yeah, where you're flying.
Speaker 2 (47:00):
Yeah, but oh my god, Yeah, cracked me up when
I saw that.
Speaker 3 (47:03):
I gotta.
Speaker 2 (47:05):
Seriously used to have an issue with remember which one which?
And now I'll never have a problem again.
Speaker 4 (47:10):
So anyways, that's Cannon Immigrants. That's plus three, which brings
us to fifty five and a half. We have a
plus one for Droid Saves because Smee shows up and
saves the kids.
Speaker 2 (47:22):
Boy does he ever beat the crap out of those guys.
Speaker 4 (47:28):
Plus one equals brings us to seventeen. Plus one for
Heart of Gold for Fern because she's the bully exterior. Yeah, pranksterr.
She's like telling, you know, he's like fabricating lies, elage.
She makes up a lot of stories, but in the end,
she you know, has a heart of gold, does what
she needs to do the same thing, even the stink.
Speaker 2 (47:50):
O Boys stink O boys.
Speaker 4 (47:53):
So plus one for that brings us to eleven. We
have a plus one for no because Wim is screaming
that when Smee is dragging his arm down the aisle. Yeah,
plus one brings us to eight. Speaking of Smee, we
have a plus one for no One's Ever Really Gone.
Not to be confused with our expectation that he will
(48:15):
still continue to be on the show even though he
looks very clearly dead in this episode. It's because when
they first went in the ship, they assumed it was
a skeleton, a dead droid they specifically say, a dead droid,
and then he came to life. So plus one for
no One's Ever Really Gone brings us to twenty. We
have a plus two for pitfalls, which brings us to nineteen.
(48:36):
Wim falls in the pit first, and then later on
when he and Neil try to climb down with the rope,
they both fall.
Speaker 3 (48:43):
Actually, you know that.
Speaker 4 (48:44):
Would be a plus three, wouldn't it. Yeah, plus three
brings us to twenty, and that is our tellyboard.
Speaker 2 (48:51):
I'll good start with the show. Is it is it
time for my bad Star Wars joke? We are ready,
we're c Yeah, I'm tagging it as bad Stars Wars joke,
just so no one would think that I'm actually trying
to get some really good jokes here. Allright, here we go.
Here's everyone's bad Star Wars joke. Hopefully puts you in
a great mood. As the episode ends, Chris Joey, what
did Yoda ride as a kid? I don't know, but
(49:14):
do cycle because there is no try. Oh there it is, hopefully,
I go, I've got you a chuckle at my bad
Star Wars joke. Something you guys know.
Speaker 4 (49:28):
Man, I was already on a high from some good
Star Wars and that just kept it going nice. All right,
We'll be back to talk about the all the rest
of the episodes of s. Coulton Crew, so on a
regular basis to be hearing from us until then, May
the Force be with you.

Welcome to always hold on to Star Wars because just
with the internet needed. On the podcast talking about Star Wars,
I'm one of your host Cavante, and I have alongside
in my two usual co host mister Chris, Hello there,
and Joey.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
We're back again for another one.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
We are. Yeah, we're back for another new Disney Plus
Star Wars show, which I mean, I don't want to
tip my hand a little bit too much. Apparently people
kind of like, which, what do we do with this?
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Hold our breath? We're on some kind of adventure. I
guess I a real adventure.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I have such a no. Obviously, we're talking about Skeleton Crew,
and then we're gonna get into the first two episodes
which released. We'll pay our bills and have all that
information at a moment. But before we get into that,
I feel excited about the response of this show. I
want to say it off top. It's really nice to
see people generally positive about Star Wars at the moment.
We're just two episodes in. Of course, all this good
(01:32):
will and favor can be gone in a matter of days,
but for the time being, I'm gonna kind of bask
in this reception of a show.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
You know, I watched the show and I just wish
that I had it when I was younger. I mean,
this show makes me feel like something that I used
to dream about when I was a kid, having lightsaber
fights with my buddies, waiting for the bus. Yeah, dreaming
of being a Jedi summer off. While I'm taking a
standardized test, all of.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
It standardized test.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
By the way, I'm gonna continue my therapy session that
ended at the last Disney Plus show when we did
our Acolyte finale review. I am going to zero dark thirty.
In terms of the Internet here, I'm not getting involved.
I'm clear, I don't. I genuinely don't know what people
(02:22):
are saying. I explained during the Acolyte my Jared Goff
conundrum where somebody tells me Jared Goff is a Hall
of Famer and I say, ah, he's not, and then
I talk myself into and then I'm eventually saying that
he's trash, which I know I'm wrong, which I was
doing the opposite with the Acolyte. The entire time. People
were saying, Oh, this isn't good, So I'm like building
it up even higher. So I'm just staying away from
(02:45):
the discourse. I just want to talk about the show
and stay as level as I can because I know
myself so this is a healing journey for me, and
I had a lot of fun watching this show.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Awesome, I gotta.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Say too, this show in particular, the way we're attached
to it so much from the beginning. I think that
regardless of the story, and we'll talk about the story,
but the pacing and the way you immediately are in
with all the characters and you don't have a billion
questions about who's this person, where they come from, why
are they doing this, how do they connect to them?
(03:18):
You just feel right in with them and understand it,
and you can follow the story, and the story is
paced very well. I think that's a sharp contrast to
what we just came off of with the Accolade, and
I think, yeah, that's bringing in a lot of good will.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
I think we'll get into it, but I mean it
opens up shot for shot is a new hope.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Yeah, like you was saying, Chris, it's definitely because like
you know, when we were kids, which would be around
the eighties, and like that there's a big vibe in this.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Joey Joeys born ninety four, by childhood was I had
Star Wars coming out in my childhood.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
So but yeah, we'll get in all that with certain
points of view and everything. I guess we need to
let everyone know the details about the show and someff
like that, right, so we need to hop into that.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Yeah, let's get our castle rundown.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Episode one, This Could Be a Real Adventure, aired on
December second, twenty twenty four, was written by Christopher Ford
and directed by John Watts. The premiere introduces a central
group of children, whim Burn, KB and Neil, living on
the quiet planet of at Atten. They discover a hidden
starship buried in the forest. Fueled by youthful curiosity and
(04:37):
dreams of adventure, they accidentally activate the ship and are
launched into space. The episode blends excitement with foreboding as
the kids face their first taste of galactic peril. Episode two,
Way Way Out Past the Barrier, aired on December second,
twenty twenty four, was also written by Christopher Ford and
(04:58):
directed by John Watts. Continuing directly from the first episode,
the children find themselves lost in the galaxy struggling to
adapt to their new environment, they encounter a pirate threat
and begin to learn the skills they'll need to survive.
Jude log characters jod Nah now would I don't think
we actually heard his name, so no.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
But it is credited that way everywhere, so I think it's.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Okay, Okay, I'm just hoping I'm pronouncing it right, is
introduced as a morally ambiguous adult who serves as both
a guide and a challenge to the group. The episode
heightens the tension, showcasing both dangers of their uncharted journey
and the bonds that begin to form between them.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Yeah, so that's pretty much it. I mean, they launched
us right into the world. We get a real feel
for who the characters are, we live with them, and
the episodes premiere together. You could watch.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Straight through the usual Disney Plus style, which I think
was a strong choice, especially for this they how disappointed?
Would we have been weak? Two with that? Twenty minutes?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yah? Know it?
Speaker 4 (06:01):
It's twenty minutes and the other one. The other one
ended right when they launched an hyperspace.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
I remember, yeah, when the first time of the ends,
I was like, oh, oh, okay, good listen I got the
second episode right now because they had me hooked. I was, uh, yeah,
I was. I was ready to check it out. I
hope that these episodes hover at least the thirty five
to forty five minute.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
It feels like we're saying that for every Disney Plus
show that comes out now that Star Wars.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
It's just so weird because like you don't have any restraints,
you know. It's like I don't know, I mean, there's
probably more reasons above my head and understanding why these
can't be, you know, two hour long movies every episode.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
And maybe it was watching them together, but I did
not feel short changed. That's time true.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
No, So like I think together it's like what a
little over solid hour of enough, you know, story building
and character understanding for Yeah, now I'm ready to is what?
It's only six more episodes.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Right, eight? Totally yep?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Yeah, so I'm ready for this next six episodes. I'm
I'm locked in.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
I think we should get into our points of view.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
You're going to find that many of the truths we
cling to depend richly on our own point of view.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
All right, so what comparison are we leading with? Are
we gonna call it?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Goony Star Wars, The Lord of the Five Star Star Wars,
Stranger Thing, Guardians of the Galaxy Star Wars.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Uh well, I mean, if we have to pick one,
I would I would go with probably the most obvious one,
which is everyone says the Goonies because of the Pirates,
you know, and also I love the Goonies so much,
and I.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
So again the age barriers a gonna come out.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Oh no, please tell me.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
I think this is an assignment I have in the
next week.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
You've never seen the Goonies, Oh, Joey, I think I
think you'll enjoy it. Man. I I know a lot
of times when like people like, oh, you should watch
this old movie from when I was a child, and
sometimes you're like, this is just a move from the eighties, Like, no,
the Goonies is the Goonies is good if you like
this vibe, because you'll see very quickly when you watch
the Goonies, Oh this is I see what they were
(08:00):
going for, you know.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
I will report back next week. It's been a while
for me too. Maybe I should get her refresher. I
definitely seen it before.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
I know, the Goonies, but I've seen I've watched the
Goonies one hundred times. Man, it was one of my
mom's favorite movies because you guys notice my well, my
mom was a I'm a I was a My mom
was a teenager when she had me, so my mom
was very young in the eighties two. So like for her,
it was like her favorite movie is a teenager. It's
(08:27):
I grew up just watching it alongside my mom. But
I'm probably started off there instead of talking about how
I don't think it's weird at all, the suburbs in
Star Wars.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
No, No, that's.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Weird to me. Everyone was like, this doesn't seem right.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
How I think the only thing that we I could
quitble and understand is the like it doesn't need to
mirror Earth perfectly, you know, and start like like, oh,
this is a school bus. He's got his bicycle like, but
also I can fit right in. I can understand the complaints,
but it makes sense to me. There's a lot of
(09:05):
you know, human Earth aspects to it. You know, the suburbs,
the industrial area when you get into like apartment buildings
and that kind of stuff, the school, the transportation, all
of it. But they made it very Star Wars Z
with like droids running everything. Yeah, and you know, different
the fact that you have different alien species all around everywhere. Yeah,
(09:26):
the data pads that they're all using, that kind of stuff. Yeah,
those desks were cool. Yeah, like being able to do
like instead of giving everybody a chromebook, it's just in
the desk. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Yeah. I just I just I love the blend of
like because like, yeah, there's a bunch of like American
suburb style housing. But also they took a wide shot
of one of the houses in the interior. I was like,
it looks like it's from the seventies, but also looks
like it's futuristic, and that's Star Wars esthetic. I love
it exactly.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Yeah, but you know, I actually like that in this
expansive galaxy far far away, with thousands of planets and
all these different kind of locations we've seen, there can
be one that mirrors a little bit of what humans
have done. And it's like, yeah, that kind of makes sense.
If there's every type of person out there, building every
kind of society, why wouldn't there be one that kind
of similarly reflects ours. So that's kind of cool. Also,
(10:17):
it got all my kids, which I watched this with
my four sons. My daughter's passed on this one.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
I don't know why.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Maybe I can get him into it. On episode three,
all my sons watched it and they were just smitten
to see characters like having to you know, my kids
are homeschool so it's not like they get up and
catch the bus and everything. But it was kind of cool.
Seem like a kid in Star Wars have like his
dad'd be like, do your homework and go to bed,
Like he's like yeah, you know. They immediately felt connected
to the characters. They felt like they could be those characters.
Which that's the best part about these kind of stories
(10:46):
is in putting yourself in it, right.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Yeah, and they stole from and Or we got Star
Wars cereal again.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Yeah yeah, Blue Milk.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Showing us this world and letting us live in it
for a little while. Like we don't just pick up
on the day that this all happens, it's like the
day before. Thing can set up for it, so we
get to understand the background for all the characters that
we're going to go along with. I thought that was
that was solid for us to start out that way.
But I also think they did a really good job
of starting out with the pirates. So, like we saw
(11:14):
the Mando verse that we're living in, a direct character
from the Mandalorian show that's been including on this. We
saw that first, so we saw how that's going out
in the galaxy still where.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
We are, that's and that audience that's familiar. Yeah, and
then and then we go here, which is like, it's
familiar because it's our home and our world, but it
was weird because it's Star Wars. And then we could
get whisked back into what we know was Star Wars.
So I thought that was cool.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Mm hmmm. So what do we think of the kids?
I love the Elephant kid, Neil.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Neil, Neil Neil so sweet. I I I love once again.
I am a fan of like this style of like
the young coming of age in adventure movies. Even as
an adult, I still like them. So they all kind
of have like these archetypes they all fit into. I
think they all did really well with it. You have
(12:07):
you have your your scared nervous one. You have your
your your your tough brash girl who's kind of like
a bully because she's bigger than everyone. H You have
your your your, your your main boy who's undersized but
has a big heart and kind of a little clueless,
but also.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Just kind of brave and adventurous and almost.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Like a false bravado, like doesn't realize what to give
up too. And then you had down to the ethnicity,
your tech kid, your tech smart whiz kid data, you know, character,
and and then you will have our our adult lead,
which will be I guess jewe law whenever we see
what he does there. But no, I thought they all
performed really well. And yeah, I don't know, they weren't.
(12:46):
They weren't a They weren't a downtick for me.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
No, that like the dialogue and the interactions was witty. Yeah,
Neil calling him out for saying in class he wants
to be a jedizing No, I didn't, Well, he actually did,
and like that kind of interaction. You know, all the
stuff with Fern once you break her down, once you
break her initial projection of strength down, is she's she's
(13:09):
real and she kind of understands things a little better
than most her age. Yeah, that kind of stuff, like
the the stereotypes of all the kids and where they
would fall and those it's played really well here. They
play off each other. Well, and they are those things,
but it's not to an annoying factor. It's not to
a detriment of the story yet.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Yeah, I'm sure you guys really related with the pretend
lightsaber fight. I mean because when you were kids, they
probably hadn't yet invented the actual toy lightsabers. Oh yeah,
I would put my toy lightsabers in my backpack and
go to my friend Josh's house and we would have
lightsaber battles in his driveway with real lightsabers.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Flashlights, man, the flash lights in the dark.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Man, I remember. I remember my dad telling me, is
like back when I was a kid, we had to
use sticks, you.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Know what I use more than anything. It's actually kind
of in world. My cousin had a toy escape pod.
Oh that's cool that that the droids had got on
in New Hope. But it was like just shaped enough
to be like the handle the hilt of a lightsaber.
So that's that's what it would be my lightsaber for
a lot of times pretend.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
But uh no, the kids are great. The world is
really what I got interested by because as this first
episode goes on, and you'll learn especially more in a
second episode. This is a place we've i mean we've
never been here, right, heard of this place and the
way it's run nobody has.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Yeah, time for crazy predictions. I feel like this might
be like Egos World and Guarding the Galaxy too, like
it like it's kind of made up, but life has
taken off on its own, but it's secluded and it's
its own thing, like something like that. That's what I'm
getting the vibe of.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
So they reference the Republic. They don't say the New Republic,
they say the Republic. The kids have old Republic credits
that are in great shape. They are working towards what's
called the Great Work, which is a high Republic era thing.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Mmm.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
So they might just be really stuck in the past
with no connection to the outside.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Of And they're talking a lot of Jedi, you know,
like it's not because we know that the rest of.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
The thousands of Jedi out there doing things.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Yeah, and like, oh, this is one of those cool
hidden Jedi temples. Like if you were thinking that, like
you're and you're you'd be looking over your shoulder for
stormtroopers even though it's the New Republic era. Yeah, people
still aren't going to be openly talking like that even.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Kids Orlando has no idea about Jedi.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Yeah, so that that is what really got me excited
about it, and I bought, like, you know, they have
this kind of society where, you know, like I said,
everyone's going towards the great work. The droids kind of
run everything, and the people are like kind of determined
at a young age what they're going to do in society.
And that's like it. And immediately when I see this
(15:56):
kid who's just like has this like adventure as hard
as like, okay, I that I would not want to
be on this planet. That would be horrible for him,
as he kind of rebels against that in his own
little way and he finds adventure and drags his friend
and then the two other people who become in his crew.
By the time they were shooting off the space. Uh.
Just little tiny details about this about the child actors
(16:19):
that I really really love. You're talking about their their
their conversations being witty and snappy and feeling real. When
they get up in the spaceship and they leave the
atmosphere and they passed through to they pass through the
barrier and they go on to hyperdrive and they don't
know what's happening. Like they reacted like I think I
would have reacted to see and that. Yeah, and I
love that. Like that right there makes me believe.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
If you watch it again, watch Fern, the one who's
supposed to be like the tough one in that she
is terrified.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Terrified but yeah, just little tiny details about that, which
means great acting and it was well directed and that's
really exciting. Uh because I remember I remember we uh
because Chris, you and I watched this twice Bobaos twic Joey,
I don't know if you got through it a second
time before we record it.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Nope, I finished about five minutes before.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
But uh, I remember you were watching it christ first
time and you were like, uh, this dad is just
awful garbage and no, it's fun. The first time I
watched it, I was like, I was like, oh, you know,
this kind of looks just like a single dad working
his butt off. And also I just love seeing black
dads represent its. I was like, Okay, it's good.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
You know.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Like then the second time watching it, his son is
getting whisked away in a ship and he doesn't say anything,
he just stares. But then I was like, maybe that's intentional.
Maybe there's something about these people once they get in
their roles, they kind of become this docile like single
track mom. I don't know. It just felt so not
(17:47):
realistic for him to move that way.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
That's why I was kind of making the ego reference
or even like WandaVision, like somehow these kids are not
yet like connected to it.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
But you kind of get a contrasted when you look
at Neil's fan, which is that has two parents, but
they're loving and supportive. Even Fern's mom she seems like
she's loving and supportive. She's a little bit naive as
to what her daughter's doing and everything, but she she
seems to all. I mean, Wendell is his name, Yeah,
Whim's dad. He's been at work all day, comes home
(18:18):
just in time, first kid to go to bed, can't
even give his kid a bedtime story. Yeah, no, you
gotta get back to work. That was kind of yeah
no uh.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
And then that was like the way he berated him
at school like that was yeah, but I.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Get it because you have to set up you have
to set up that the fact that something's lacking at
home to make him want to look elsewhere.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Yeah, yeah, he had a good home. He would lead.
But yeah, yeah, which makes every other character why they're
mad about like why does she because they're just like
we're eating trouble or Neil, we're gonna get so much.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
He clearly does care.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
He went looking for him in the woods, and if
you you know, there's shots in the trailer of him
like pushing to go look for his son. But is
he is he looking because he's worried about his son
or is he looking because he doesn't want to sound
exposing what's going on on this planet.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
I'm sure it could be that way, but I didn't
get that feel like if you watch the trailer again,
there's like there's scenes in the trailer where he's arguing
with Fern's mom about we have to go look for them,
find them. I mean, I guess it could go to
what you're saying there. I don't know that there's anything.
I wonder if there's anything said a start, But then again,
they the pirates all think that at Atten is like
(19:27):
the planet of eternal treasure and it's a myth, so
there's got to be something there that they're protecting.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
But no, just everything about it took me to just
thinking about, you know, how I would have reacted to
seeing this. He stumbles upon something by mistake, trying to
hurry up to get to school because he overslept. We've
all been there. He tried to take a short cut. We've
all been there. It didn't work. We've all been there.
Did he find something that he immediately assumes is a
(19:52):
Jedi temple, which is hilarious because of course you would
want it to be that. And he tries to, you know, like,
they get in there and it's a ship and they're
they're shot off. I don't know how that ship survived
to take off under the ground. What the ship doing there?
I'm like, that's that's I'm saying. I'm the mystery, the
threads they've laid out. I'm actually excited to figure out
what was the Jedi. I don't know if it's a starship.
(20:15):
We don't even know what it's a Jedi ship? Do
we know it was a pirate ship?
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Pirates?
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Yeah, the pirate ship. What's this parkership doing as planet?
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Is nothing Jedi about it? That's just when why?
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Yeah, that's just wanted it to Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
The mysteries of this one are a little more intriguing
because it's it's like basic following the story, you're not
gonna know all this, You're not gonna know how that
ship got there first. So you're finding out it's not
where like we're being mysteriously or we're being purposely misled
to believe a mystery, and that that's the difference of it,
Like the intrigue and the suspense is real based on
the situation, not manufactured for us to watch the next episode.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
This this is also what I think I mean. I
don't want to say I expect it to sound like
like like I had a great idea what it should be,
but this is kind of what I want. When it
says a Star Wars story before the title, this is
kind of what I'm looking for. I don't need this
to be about the Skywalkers or connected to any way anymore.
I don't need care. I don't need to see plagas.
(21:11):
I don't need I don't need to see connections to
the main story that we all know and all have
loved and read and watched and you know, participated in.
I'm just kind of curious to see what's happening on
other apps now. If this ends up connecting to some
larger way to the greater universe. It could, I don't know.
You know, it is a property of Star Wars, so
it may. But like it would be really cool if
this is just an adventure about some kids on a
(21:31):
planet and it has a resolution at the end. Yeah,
and you know that that's just that was a Star
Wars story. That's a story to happen Galaxy. If that happens,
I doubt it, honestly, because you know, everything needs to
be connected to Star Wars.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
And I'm fine with a cameo that makes sense.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Give me that's not even a cameo though, that's a
new character.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
And in a place like we were in the second
episode Owed and Hondo and Naka is just sitting there
like that'd be that'd be fine.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Hondo's the greatest character everybody almost everywhere, like every every
time we need a cameos like Hondo.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
There's a lot of speculation that this is gonna just
lead into Mandalorian and Grogu and Ahsoka season two, so
that like maybe like this will get tied into like
Thrawn somehow.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
I hope, I hope not, unless it's just he's back,
Unless he's back home and his parents are watching suburban
Fox News or CNN of of Star Wars, and they're
just like, oh, grand animal, throw on his back. He's
taking charge of the Imperial forces, and and like we
just see that in that background.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
That's good. We need some law and order in his universe, right, Yeah,
the galaxy needs order.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Or just like I mean, if you're just like flying
by and you just see Mando and Grogu like in
the spaceport, like just walking past that, those things are fine.
But I don't think we need big tie ins for
what this show looks like it's trying to do.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Speaking of tie ins and Jedi and all these things, Uh,
what is Judlaw's character's name.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Again, Dumbledore?
Speaker 2 (23:07):
I'm sorry, Doumbledore John Watson, I captain in the World
of Tomorrow, Jod not now would, Okay, So he presumably
used the force.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
So this is interesting. I think that they're not letting
on a lot about him. So he's obviously gonna have
a big part. He's i think been credited in areas
as Jedi Master Jod not Nowood.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
What I'm sitting here trying to figure out is timing
and in years and age. If he is Canaan's age,
like he was a padawan during the Clone Wars during
Order sixty six, I can follow the line that maybe
he is about the right age right now.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
Well, he's about the same age as you can assume.
He's probably around the age of balen ye as school
and we're only nine ab y with the show.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Okay, mm hmm.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Is he the character the pirate character from the beginning,
the captain the gets captured? Because the voice sounds eerily similar,
I was pretty certain it was the caption say silvo, Okay.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
I want to think he is a Jedi. I really do.
So that's where I'm at.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
If he's a Jedi, would he be leading a pirate
crew to kill a bunch of people on a New
Republic ship to break into that vault?
Speaker 3 (24:20):
No, well maybe Cayan would.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
My first thought was, okay, are they going to service?
And he's like a dark side us you know, you know.
But I'm like, well that's too obvious because are they
banking it. It's not connecting that first pirate in him
being the same character. But then I was like, well,
why would a Jedi? Like now, I was like, okay,
what were those pirates looking for and was he looking
for something else using those pirates to get to those things,
(24:46):
because I didn't see him running in their gunning everyone down.
He came in after it all done. I'm not saying
that's what the Jedi should do, but I didn't see
him kill anyone. Yeah, he punch guy.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
And the credit the credit they find they have the
Jedi symbol on it.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Yeah, you know, or maybe he's just a Maybe he's
just a sports she used it. It became a pirate
after after the Jedi Order fail. I mean, like, I'm
sure it happened.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Got to find a way to survive.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Real Alvaross is out there somewhere, you know.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Like the reason the reason I think that it's him
in the beginning is because one he's wearing a mask. Yeah,
and a lot of times in the Star Wars, if
you're wearing a mask, it's very easy to do a
voice modulator or some kind of voice change, and you
specifically don't have that. You have him speaking, and there
are words that come out of his mouth there that
sound very jew Lash, So I think I would think
(25:31):
that's intentional.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Yeah, but yeah, we'll find out.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Yeah, that's the fun thing. Like, like the issue with
like this hour long is like it was good. It
felt tightly packed and like we have some interesting characters,
but we don't know what's going on. And that's good
because I'm I'm interested in learning what's going on. It's
not like, oh God, what you know? Like you been there,
you know, and this is like, okay, cool, who is
this character? What's that character?
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Is?
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Each show just gonna keep making more droids that I like,
like like this, I'm feeling bad for like the O
G droids Man because a new cool droid C three
PO just can't yeah, watching him like wobble around now
and I'm watching his peg leg Pirate one punch people
and like.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Hey, we're about to get the best droid back and
and or season two O k K two that's he's
the goat.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
So this this droid that we're talking about, he's named
s M thirty three. Did you guys get the Disney reference?
Speaker 3 (26:31):
No, I was, I was assuming there was some kind
of reference. What is it?
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Well, it spells out sme, so it's like Captain hook
and smee.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Oh oh, I love the first mate. I love that.
That is real.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
Quick before we go back talking about the droid the
name of the planet at Adam. Are they targeting this
debate about whether they're at eighties.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Or at at dude? Probably it has.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
To be right.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Yeah, I love that anyway. Droid smee. He's just a
likable guy.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
He's fun and and and it brings it brings a
big question to mine. In sports conversations, you're always saying
the Mount Rushmore of this, the aroout Mount Rushmore of that.
We need to take a pause. What is the droid
Mount Rushmore?
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
I want to say R two and three po have
to be there, but R two or two for sure? Yeah?
One three pos the Thomas Jefferson of Mount Rushmore. I mean.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
I know how much that means. You could three K
two s o mm hmm.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
Chopper copper.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Yes, it's like b D one Yeah, No, b D
one does not get a place.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
I loved one.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Don't like BD one. Uh. What's who's the I G eleven? Yeah?
Oh yeah, the Droid outlaws. What's his name?
Speaker 4 (27:54):
And five or something like that?
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Yeah, yeah, indeed something yeah five, he's cool.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
I like to be a not in the conversation either.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Something any something joined a trench coat I mean, come
on now, Indeed were the trench coat man.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
And and he's pretty sick.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
No as the only trench the only acceptable trench coat
is ob one with Leah hiding underneath.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Bad bane.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
R four He's a rebellion hero.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
He is he is a hero.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
He is a hero. R four unsung, barely talked about
hero and Star Wars R four Uh no, man, look that,
Look it's it's our two. Ok So right, I.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Feel like the listeners have to send us something. Just
what's your joined mount? Rushmore?
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Indy and who else we got? We got one more?
Speaker 4 (28:45):
I see a trend there, the K two S O
and n D. There you battle Joys going.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
I like, look, I'll take a battle day of a
protocol George, I would too, I would. I want to.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
I want to know Roger from the the Lego show Rogers.
I love Roger.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Oh and Chopper, Yeah, Chopper who had hills in the
entirety Starter universe.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
I don't know. As much as I don't like the sequels,
compared to everything else, I would put BB eight over Chopper.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Disney wants you to do that.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Disney wants you to do all the stuff with the
new Choice. I like, but bbaight's cool man with the.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
I like BED one better than BB eight.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
I do like I do like BD one better than
the BBA two, But a lot of people don't wan
who bea D one is? Yeah, you gotta play the
video games.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Yeah, bad one is amazing.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
All Right, We're gonna this conversation another day.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
Maybe maybe we'll get more. Maybe we'll get more to
add throughout as the show goes up.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Yeah, I'm talking. What more to say about the show,
because like, like I mean, it's kind of the premise.
You got, you got your your four kids, you understand
kind of who they are, the pirates. The makeup is
all great. This show definitely looks better then the then
then than a previous one. There's still moments we can
be like this is you know, this is a television
show and the budget is getting pressed here.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
But we got Steve Verkle as a pirate.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
That's crazy. Almost didn't recognize Jude Joe White, real White. Yes,
almost didn't recognize him. But he's in there. That's cool
to see him. I love seeing people getting Star Wars
who probably have been fans of it their whole life.
That's cool.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
Yeah, he was I saw like an interview with him.
He's super excited to be able to be in the world.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
It's awesome. Man.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
We got the one pirate what's his name, Vaine who
was in the Mandalorian. Yes, he's the one who was
going to get his breathing sack cut.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
Speaking of outlaws though, that table where they're eating the
food and you got the the waiter talking like that
a very outlaws feel to it. If you've played enough,
did the show kind of the pirates of the show
kind of give you an outlaw feel to it, Like
a port in space you're landing and interact and.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Yeah, and also like I just I just love the
creativity of Star Wars Man, Like just something as simple
as when they jumped to the to the pirate port.
Just the manner of how they shuttle to the port
completely necessary. You could have just cut to them being
walking in the port. But the fact that you showed
(31:07):
how they get from the ship to there with that
little tiny bus cart with a little tiny person doing it,
that's like I love that. Just little things like that,
like how their world works just fascinate me. I love it.
They had that also back on at atle or however
you pronounced the planet at a at adam. Their their
bikes had little like stringers on the side, man like
(31:30):
like like they had little streamers on their bikes in
the sea, little neat running away, dude running his little
backpack on and like, I don't know, just a bunch
of cute kids. Man, I'm a dad now, so this
stuff is. I was like, oh, I look at these
little kids going to school. They're standing studying for I
love when.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
They're playing with the lightsabers and the one gets his
arm cut off.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
The other one's like, ah, my guts are everywhere snow.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Like a half no, and like you know, like little things,
uh you know, Neil having a crush on that that
other girl in its class. It's just like, if you
are a fan of this genre, like you're gonna love this.
And I hope people who probably might think, ah, this
may be for me, Like, no, this is for you, man,
Like it's good, it's it's interesting.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
Yeah, And if it's not, if the genre isn't your
wee house, just just check out. Say I'm good. You
don't have to sit there and say how bad it is.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Yeah, don't watch, don't watch. Eight episodes and say you
but you didn't like it, It's okay if you don't
like it. But I'm telling you that, uh. I mean,
I think I think I'm sharing its depaining with you guys.
I don't want to speak for all three of us,
but I think that it's well directed. The pacing is
great mm hmm, the story is interesting, and the performances
are good. Those things make go for a good show
for me.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Yes, I mean, only the biggest thing that's a failure
is in that little play Lightsaber fight, what you gotta do.
I don't know if you guys did this, but when
you cut a limb off, instead of saying, oh no,
like how you just like, all right, lightsaber can't be
in that hand anymore, and you just put behind your
back and then you hop on one leg and all
that kind of stuff. I don't know if you guys
(33:05):
did that, but that's the way to do it.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
I was that tough.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
You just you just keep moving.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Pleasant, pleasantly surprised. I don't think we had any expectations
for this.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
I don't think. I don't think I watched the trailer.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Yeah, ACCOLI did this don't work on us.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
We're still I'm still on my healing journey. That's what
this show is.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
A lot of the speculation pre show would say that
the success of it hinged on the likability of the kids,
because child actors are are hard to let send. And
I think so far the four that we have that
we're we're living with them probably going to stick with.
I think they're great.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and it helps it. The main the
main kid. It's very reminiscent of my own son, so
so much so my son had his hair braided for
Thanksgiving and we watched the episodes and he comes up
to me after he saik, dak, I take my hair down.
So yeah, sure, buddy, which is you know, it happens.
(34:06):
And so typically when he takes it down, like we
wash it and calm and stuff. He didn't want you
to Tom. He wanted to be this kind of wild
curly mess on his head. I don't know why he's
been suddenly interesting having a wild curly afro. But Solomon
is definitely enjoying watching the show. So shout with you, Solomon,
because he does listen.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
All right, I think it's time for Kev's crazy predictions.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Oh man, Okay, yeah, no, I had when I was
cooking up, but like, I don't have enough context of
the show yet. I think that the planet that they
are on is hidden intentionally because there is something very
very important on it that has something to do with Jedi.
And I think that this vault or whatever it is,
the Endless Riches or something like that has something to
(34:48):
do with the Force, and that's why Jude Law was
looking forward with his pirate crew, using them as a
means to find this place. That's my prediction. I hope
he's not Darth Darth Law. You know, Hope is that
a bad guy. I'm tired of hot, bad guys quick
confusing me guys crooked noses and hooks for hands again
(35:10):
like the old days, so I can know who too
for against Okay, I'm tired of being attracted to these villains. Yeah,
that's that's that's my crazy prediction. You guys got anything.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
I hope he I hope he's just a Jedi because
I'm tired of not tired of But when we've got
Balin in the same era kind of doing his thing,
I don't want it to be like a weird in
between kind of character.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
I don't think Darth makes sense in this era. So
I just hope let's just have a Jedi, like I honestly,
we haven't gotten a lot of that with new characters
and the new Cannon and the shows.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
I'm trying to think of like current Jedi in this era,
and I was like, this is this is Kyle Kisses
era too, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
Well, we don't know if he makes it this far.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Yeah, yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
Yeah, it would be cool to see a Jedi and
just another one and how that how they've been living
in this era and whether like maybe this person's not
still on their journey where Canaan was before he met
Ezra of just like I'm just doing this this stuff
and I'm not really a Jedi. I'm just interested. I
hope he's good hearted. He was in the Temple before
(36:19):
Order sixty six, and that's all I want.
Speaker 4 (36:21):
I hope so too. I hope he really is a
Jedi character and he's a good guy for the kids
and helps him out there I get. I think my
prediction is I think it's more that he is a
morally ambiguous character that is kind of self serving. More
is that he kind of did struggle with the force
to get the key a little bit like it didn't
(36:43):
come to easy note And if he could do that,
why hadn't he done it already to get out of there?
Instead he's just sitting in the shackles in the back.
But I think it's gonna be more of he's kind
of a self serving character and in the end he
grows and loved the kids and help him out.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Yeah, he's gonna hardgo hopefully.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
What if he's second generation? What if he was trained
by an Order sixty six.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Survivor and the not very well?
Speaker 3 (37:08):
But he's like TANGI. He's Yes, he's tangentially a Jedi
that kind of has been learned some of the principles.
His master's no longer around, was trained.
Speaker 4 (37:21):
Yeah, he's too old for that.
Speaker 3 (37:22):
He's Galen Merrick or mcaleen Merrick's dad, the Star Killer's dad. Yeah,
video game.
Speaker 4 (37:30):
He's Coyle guitar.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
Yeah, there we go.
Speaker 4 (37:33):
That would be I don't know if.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Jude called guitar, and I'd be really excited about that.
I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
All right, we ready to give a really Yeah, let's
go for it. I must speak with the Jedi Council
immediately the situation has become much more complicated.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
I'll start Man, so far, so good. Master. Here's hoping
that they continue on because they could possibly have a nice,
nice hit here. Man. They can spread across the white audiences,
kids and adult. It's gonna both love this. Which last
time I think that happened in the Star Wars project
was the Mandalorian. You know, so we'll see them. I
have another get on them.
Speaker 4 (38:07):
I'm gonna echo, I'll say, Master, I think this is
a nice fit for us right now around the holidays.
Like you said, Sefiequatch with family. It's filling between two
heavy Star Wars experiences between the Acolyte and then the
next after this is and Or Season two, which we
know gets pretty intense. So I think it's nice to
have this fun romp in the Star Wars world, meet
(38:29):
a whole ton of new characters, a world that we
can live in, a world they can expand on into
other seasons, doesn't necessarily have to tie in directly at
all the story. I love it so far. I hope
they keep it up.
Speaker 3 (38:40):
Yeah, I'll continue the chain here of Master. I'm excited.
I'm having a lot of fun. I don't have a
lot else to say, and this is a good era
where you can kind of do whatever you want and
the story doesn't feel like it's going to have implications
that we have to question a bunch of things. So
(39:00):
just have fun, do what you want, and I'll be happy.
Speaker 4 (39:04):
All right, Well, let's hand out some awards. Yeah, who
is your MVP of the episode?
Speaker 2 (39:10):
Neil? I mean, you know what, Like, honestly, like Neil,
I found myself chuckling at Neil the most. His design
is adorable and the practical slash CG either using is
really good. It's really good when like, like you know,
we were talking earlier, when he when they do to
jump in hyperspace, Neil like, it's one of the few
(39:30):
times you get to see his mouth actually because it's
such a it's it's so a gape because he's scared
because it typically trunk blocks it. You know, funny lines
like you know, stop breathing with your trunk. It's like,
I don't breathe with my trunk or something. Just funny
things like that.
Speaker 4 (39:42):
She's like close his trunk. He's like, well, I don't
talk with my trunk.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
It's just so adorable. I don't know, but yeah, it's
either him or is Win. I called him whim okay,
wi whim is your women? Is your prototypical character in
this But I don't know. My my favorite was Neil
wh Chris.
Speaker 4 (40:00):
I think Win's got some some growing to do before
he gets the MVP. I liked Fern.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
I think.
Speaker 4 (40:07):
Verry a lot of things. She kind of took over
and did the ship a little bit. But I agree
that I think I think it should be Neil.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
He's the he's the heart and souls. He's a glues,
seems like a hold.
Speaker 4 (40:17):
Everything together and I'm sure you get women in the
back room making.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
I wanted to be the m v P.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
Yeah, I'm gonna touch this button, like I think it's
like yeah, like he like he just came across as
like a kid who's excited and more so than like
a like I don't know. I wasn't getting annoyed by him,
but I was like, oh, man, I get it, dude,
you just want to touch like this is your first
time ever getting a chance to do these things. I
get it. What you gotta really in man, you know,
like real life.
Speaker 4 (40:41):
Now, Yeah, you feel a little bad for him because
he is the one who discovered it, and you know
he's not. This really wasn't all his fault that. I mean,
he did keep touching someth after everyone said don't, but
he has that annoying childish thing. It was like I
wanted to be the captain or this is mine. But
he also like recognized it too.
Speaker 3 (41:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (41:03):
Yeah, he takes a step back when he needs to
and and recognizes that he's not you know, he needs
to follow Fern's guide.
Speaker 3 (41:11):
Or he's he's totally going to press that button too, right.
Speaker 4 (41:16):
The whole description, but oh man, who makes the button
like that?
Speaker 3 (41:22):
Why do you need that.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
Comeback Award for the episode? I think there's really only
one nominee.
Speaker 2 (41:28):
Special we thought we speak of it again.
Speaker 4 (41:34):
You can say Star Wars coming back from the accolade, Yeah,
we'll star Wars.
Speaker 3 (41:39):
Yeah, let's do that.
Speaker 4 (41:40):
That's but I think really you gotta give it to Vain,
the one character that's come back from other Star Wars experiences.
Honorable mention to all the funny stuff that we're saying,
all right, who's your rookie of the episode, and we
have a lot to work with here.
Speaker 3 (41:56):
I love Neil.
Speaker 4 (41:57):
I did have Neil down for this too.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
Yeah. I mean, if if not Neil, then uh then
then I was gonna go find on this one because Fern, Yeah,
I really thought that her like taking over the situation
because she seems to be older than they're, not just bigger.
But she was like, you know, I killed the captain
and now I'm the captain. I'm the captain now, you know,
and like she kind of took charge. And you know,
(42:21):
even when I do, like like when the lady was
trying to help them, she was like skeptical. She's like, no,
you're trying to kidnap us. I don't know who you are.
Like that. She she doesn't seem dumb. She seems in
over her head, but she's not stupid. So I like
that about her.
Speaker 4 (42:33):
Yeah, you Fern, all right, who gets the skin ord
and convinced me it shouldn't be Whim's dad Wendell.
Speaker 3 (42:42):
Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 2 (42:45):
Read the story to your child man.
Speaker 4 (42:50):
A little bit more attention to him, yes, and none
of this would happen.
Speaker 2 (42:53):
Brother, We've all been busy with work. Look, look, you're
listening to the three fathers here, we know.
Speaker 3 (42:58):
But I was writing emails tonight and then I heard
time for a story. I've closed all laptop, read the story,
went back to work, like it's.
Speaker 2 (43:09):
Before this podcast started. I took my kids into bed.
I told them like, don't be like, are you too
old for that? Now? Man? Wait till they are waiting
him a fourteen year old looking you in the eyes,
and you can't read him a story or give him
hug anymore. He's like, dad, square up?
Speaker 4 (43:23):
Do you wait to that? I want to give him
a little credit because he's probably struggling as a single dad.
He does say like bedtime stories are here? A little
too old for that, and he says love you and
gives them a good amount of money apparently. But you
gotta be more, gotta be more aware.
Speaker 3 (43:39):
Man.
Speaker 2 (43:40):
Yeah, he's not a bad dad. He's just a app
He's just a he's too busy and he needs to
stop and take care of his kid a little bit more.
But yeah, I understand that. We're not saying he's a
piece of crap. Representation matters. I love seeing single dads.
I love seeing black dads. That's exciting for me. We exist,
so yeah, but you know, read read the beds. I'm sorry, man,
(44:01):
no hangout? Would you get a little bit more.
Speaker 3 (44:03):
And we all know who's winning the way toward mister Smith.
Speaker 2 (44:08):
Thank you, Chris.
Speaker 3 (44:09):
I will never forget this.
Speaker 2 (44:11):
Yeah, I didn't. I can I didn't see that. I
got Jedi Master. I'm a gunn die, but I didn't
get this.
Speaker 4 (44:20):
That's funny. I'm still killing myself over the fact that
I didn't get that to the tally board. Yeah, Canon Immigrants,
we have three. Yeah, so one is Borgo Prime, which
is the planet that the Port of Borgo Space Pirate
Space ort is on that originally appeared in the Young
(44:43):
Jedi Night books. We have a plus one for the
Star Wars Holiday special. Yeah, because when you're in Neil's
house and his little siblings are watching a show on
the hollow table that's direct from the Star Wars Holiday, it's.
Speaker 2 (45:03):
Like, who do you?
Speaker 4 (45:04):
How?
Speaker 1 (45:05):
What?
Speaker 2 (45:05):
Who? Who approved that?
Speaker 1 (45:06):
Like?
Speaker 2 (45:07):
Who do they have to ask to do that? You know,
that wasn't an easy request.
Speaker 3 (45:11):
I think it is. I think you just you slide
it in and they're like, what's this and you're just like,
I don't know, I just made it up.
Speaker 2 (45:16):
I mean, like George doesn't know they did that. He
didn't have to know anymore, right, But like.
Speaker 3 (45:21):
They did in Mando too, Mando, the the the gun,
the blast. I'm sorry that the disintegrates the I think
a little somebody with the pitchfork on it that was
also from the Holiday special with Polpa Feto. Now that
that little brief scene is canon, all we need now
(45:42):
is the Wookie Cooking Show and the The last entry
as a cannon immigrant is a little bit of a stretch,
but uh, the school buses with the droid drivers and
the voice on the bus, those are very reminiscent of
the ride Star tours from disney World.
Speaker 4 (46:00):
Then Disneyland.
Speaker 2 (46:03):
Can I share something with you guys about disney World
Disneyland that I just saw on the Internet and it
blew my mind absolutely. I've only been to Disneyland. You
have been to disney World.
Speaker 4 (46:13):
I know exactly what you're about to say.
Speaker 2 (46:14):
Yes, I always was confused on which was which, and
so you've seen this, Chris, you mount the internet. If
you spell them out, what has L A and one
has O or L for Orlando, you are in the
next what what land is in La? Didney World in Orlando?
Speaker 4 (46:35):
A new thing? That is like taking the Internet by storm.
Speaker 2 (46:37):
In the past week or so, my brain is finally
like my frontal lobe finally developed, Like I did, I
believe I didn't.
Speaker 4 (46:44):
I saw.
Speaker 2 (46:45):
I didn't see that.
Speaker 4 (46:47):
Oh I'm sure. Yeah, it's got to be a coincidence.
Speaker 2 (46:49):
Yeah, it's a coincidence. Definitely. I doubt they planned that.
Speaker 4 (46:51):
But because it's not actually remember and Orlando, it's it's
Anaheim and that's where you're flying, like, yeah, where you're flying.
Speaker 2 (47:00):
Yeah, but oh my god, Yeah, cracked me up when
I saw that.
Speaker 3 (47:03):
I gotta.
Speaker 2 (47:05):
Seriously used to have an issue with remember which one which?
And now I'll never have a problem again.
Speaker 4 (47:10):
So anyways, that's Cannon Immigrants. That's plus three, which brings
us to fifty five and a half. We have a
plus one for Droid Saves because Smee shows up and
saves the kids.
Speaker 2 (47:22):
Boy does he ever beat the crap out of those guys.
Speaker 4 (47:28):
Plus one equals brings us to seventeen. Plus one for
Heart of Gold for Fern because she's the bully exterior. Yeah, pranksterr.
She's like telling, you know, he's like fabricating lies, elage.
She makes up a lot of stories, but in the end,
she you know, has a heart of gold, does what
she needs to do the same thing, even the stink.
Speaker 2 (47:50):
O Boys stink O boys.
Speaker 4 (47:53):
So plus one for that brings us to eleven. We
have a plus one for no because Wim is screaming
that when Smee is dragging his arm down the aisle. Yeah,
plus one brings us to eight. Speaking of Smee, we
have a plus one for no One's Ever Really Gone.
Not to be confused with our expectation that he will
(48:15):
still continue to be on the show even though he
looks very clearly dead in this episode. It's because when
they first went in the ship, they assumed it was
a skeleton, a dead droid they specifically say, a dead droid,
and then he came to life. So plus one for
no One's Ever Really Gone brings us to twenty. We
have a plus two for pitfalls, which brings us to nineteen.
(48:36):
Wim falls in the pit first, and then later on
when he and Neil try to climb down with the rope,
they both fall.
Speaker 3 (48:43):
Actually, you know that.
Speaker 4 (48:44):
Would be a plus three, wouldn't it. Yeah, plus three
brings us to twenty, and that is our tellyboard.
Speaker 2 (48:51):
I'll good start with the show. Is it is it
time for my bad Star Wars joke? We are ready,
we're c Yeah, I'm tagging it as bad Stars Wars joke,
just so no one would think that I'm actually trying
to get some really good jokes here. Allright, here we go.
Here's everyone's bad Star Wars joke. Hopefully puts you in
a great mood. As the episode ends, Chris Joey, what
did Yoda ride as a kid? I don't know, but
(49:14):
do cycle because there is no try. Oh there it is, hopefully,
I go, I've got you a chuckle at my bad
Star Wars joke. Something you guys know.
Speaker 4 (49:28):
Man, I was already on a high from some good
Star Wars and that just kept it going nice. All right,
We'll be back to talk about the all the rest
of the episodes of s. Coulton Crew, so on a
regular basis to be hearing from us until then, May
the Force be with you.
