Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, fly, guys and girls, This is Ross Hollivan a
phanto tracks and you're listening to Aaron and David, the
heroes of Star Wars reactions. Elegant discussion for a more
civilized age.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
It has been annoy your fault.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
In nineteen seventy seven, George Lucas formed a legacy, being
inspired by mythology. His saga has become a passion for many.
His legend has become our story, one of resistance.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
We are a like.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Rebellion and redemption.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Ije father.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
This is Star Wars Reactions.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
Remember We'll do with you.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
Always, Well, everybody, and welcome to an all new Star
Wars Reactions. We are excited to have you, have you
care best. We are getting off early. Welcome to Star
Wars Reactions.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
We are.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
You know it's gonna be a fun one tonight, but
we're we're happy you're joining us this week. And I
know it's been a couple of weeks since we have
had a show, and we'll talk about that, but we
wanted to get back behind the mics. Let you know
we're still here, we're still doing good. So let's get
the introductions out of the way and get the show going.
(01:34):
My name is Aaron Harrison joining me as always is
the incredible David Matters. David Brother, what's up well recording
with you, buddy?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
I feel the same way about you. You're incredible to
record with, incredible co host.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
You lead this show and get us organized and but
ready to react and just have some just light hearted
not too full because just kind of what you and
I call random hutter.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
That's right, it is going to be a random chatter episode.
We're going to enjoy just some random Star Wars talk.
As you've seen, we have been a couple of weeks
since we release an episode. David was out of town
and then I just had a lot going on with
the house getting finished, and then of course trying to
(02:27):
get the office put together Reaction Studio, and then of
course my oldest finally moved off to college, moved her out,
and that's been a emotional roller coaster in and of itself.
So just been a little on the busy side in
our everyday lives, haven't we, David and Yes, been a
(02:49):
little crazy. Yes, we're back and we're ready to react
and just chat, have a lighthearted discussion. I know everybody's
waiting on our and Or reviews, and that actually is
what we had scheduled for tonight, was our and Or reviews.
But with everything that I've had going on, I have
(03:11):
and Or deserves a very in depth intellectual discussion because
of how good it is, and I'm just so exhausted mentally,
I just I couldn't bring my A game and y'all
deserve the A game, especially for and Or deserves the
a game y'all do, and Or does. And I knew
(03:33):
I would not be able to bring an a game
discussion for and Or, so we shelved it again. And
when we're doing the random discussion, random Chatter, so we
hope you enjoy. For those of you new to this show,
our Random Chatter series is a random series that just
pops up every once in a while. I believe this
(03:54):
is the volume ten.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Solid right.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
I think it's our tenth, our tenth Random Chatter. I'd
have to help confirm that going into the archive. But basically,
we just sit down and we just talk about whatever
we want to, no specific targets, no category. Normally, we
have show notes with just some ideas we've jotted down
so we can get some ideas, but we don't even
have that this week we are literally shooting from the cuff,
(04:24):
which is uh makes makes for good podcasting. I hope
we'll see how it goes, but it's gonna be fun.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
It'll be good.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
So there's been a lot going around. There's a lot
of a lot of stuff here there coming around. And
one of the things I wanted to touch on. I know, David,
you and I are big into audible. We've done a
lot of audible listening when it comes to Star Wars
books and stuff. I don't know if you haven't talked
(04:57):
with you yet to find out if you've listened yet.
But I just finished this week the Bad Batch novel Sanctuary.
Have you have you done that one yet?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
No? No.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
I saw that you had responded to Terry king right,
our good brother out there in Missouri, and we love Terry,
and he was asking for audible recommendations. Yep, I know
Christina Stevenson gave him some ideas and you did, and well,
tell me about this is your I saw you really
liked it.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
I didn't really like it. I had I loved it.
Here's the thing, you know, It's it's been a while
since there has been a Star Wars book released that
I could not put down. I could, you know, with
a lot of the stuff that's been coming out, really
I could read it, put it down, come back to it.
(05:49):
No big deal. It's been a while since one has
just grabbed me to the point that I just if
it was a physical copy, I would not would not
have left my hands. In this case, I couldn't turn
it off on audible. This literally felt like I was
(06:10):
watching the Bad Batch. It was just absolutely an incredible story.
It's a typical bad Batch story where the uh, basically
they're doing a pick up an extraction and like in
typical bad Batch fashion, the extraction job goes wrong. No,
(06:33):
no way, who could have guessed that. But it was
absolutely fan fantastically written, fantastically performed. This was this book
was written by Lamar Guy. I don't know if it's
Giles or Giles, but fantastically written.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
And it was actually performed, of course by everyone's favorite Markedopson.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Oh.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
I was just going to ask you who they got
because it was no. Mark Thompson's a star wart.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
And he did incredible on this book. He nailed the
voices for Hunter and uh this that that takes place
before the events of the third season. Yeah, and and everything.
So actually it's somewhere actually where did it take place,
(07:28):
I can't remember. It's Texas. Tech is still alive in this,
so we have Tech still alive. Uh, And a major
part of the story, I think it's when they're first
getting into the staying at Pabut, so it's before Tech dies,
(07:53):
and it does a lot of focusing on there's a
lot of story focused on Tech.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
And it was it's just a fantastic book. I mean,
my lord, it was one that I just and I
don't want to spoil it by giving a lot of
details because there's so many aspects to this book that
just it was just refreshing. It really felt like an
enjoyable Star Wars story for me.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
That's cool, man.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
And I cannot if you if you don't read books,
or if you read books, or if you do audible,
if you haven't done this when yet, pick it up.
It's called Star Wars Sanctuary. But yeah, it was. It
was a highlight over the last couple I mean literally,
I had it. It's a what the audio novels eleven
(08:48):
hours and forty six minutes long, and I had it
done in two workshifts. I listen, it's all I listened
to at work. Normally, I'll normally, I'll I'll break it up.
I'll start with a book, listen for a couple hours,
and I'll switch over to a podcast or something just
to spice it up, to keep me this thing I
(09:08):
could not turn off.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
That's cool, man, that's really cool.
Speaker 6 (09:12):
I was looking at my newest Star Wars Insider, number
two thirty three, and in the back it was taught
you know, they always give a preview of what they're
going to cover in the next issue, and I just
happened to look at it before you and I jumped on,
and it was mentioning the well the let's see, yeah,
the twentieth anniversary of Revenge of the Sith novelization by
(09:33):
Matthew Stover. And that was one that I, I mean
that that's incredible. Right now, You and I did an
episode of Star Wars Reactions covering kind of like the
top five Star Wars books during the Disney era. You know,
that was just you know, just recently we did that,
but if you go back, that one's pretty much universally
(09:56):
light and so I'm looking forward to reading that article.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
See what Matthew story. I'm actually shocked that he he
hasn't done a ton more.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
Yeah, yeah, that's surprising, Uh that he hasn't. You know, hopefully,
you know, hopefully that'll change, you know. It's it's interesting
to see how how it plays out, because he he
did really good. It was that was a well received
book that that he wrote, and a lot of people
really enjoyed it. Yeah, we'll see, you know, Yeah, I
(10:31):
would like to see that, Like c C. I mean,
the way the way Giles wrote this book, I'd be
very happy to see another one by him and this
give him another give him another bad, bad story. I'll
take it in a heartbeat. So so I thought I
thought that I wanted to throw that out there because
that was that was a big highlight for my Star
(10:53):
Wars week. Yes, it is getting that getting that book finished,
it was, it was really good.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
I'll say this just I know we're randomly moving around.
I just wanted to let listeners know that what I'm
going to try to do for each arc that Aaron
and I cover of and or I'm going to try
to pick out a little bit of psychology in each episode.
And it had little many psychology corners, bon't won't won't,
(11:24):
like you know, kind of three of them, one in
each episode. I've already done that, I said, Aaron's had
a lot we've been I just got back. I was
out west for a week helping my buddy.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
With some stuff, and so I did that last night.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
I was just getting prepped, and I've already looked ahead
to the next arc and kind of have a good
feel for what I'll do, you know, psychology wise, and
just I just want our listeners to know that. I
know I haven't done a lot of those lately, psychology corners,
or even many psychology.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Corners, but most of the time I just break out.
Speaker 6 (12:00):
One, right, Aaron, when we're talking, you know, So I
already looked at the first three episodes one year later.
It segrowna Tima and Harvest, and each one has there's
plenty of stuff, you know, Tony Gilroy, he gives you
so much meat on the bone.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
It's it's not difficult at all. So that's kind of
kind of what I want our.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
Listeners to know, and and I want them to know too.
And I actually, you know, Aaron, and I know that
people have covered this show ad nauseam. I mean a
lot of podcasts, you know, and and and Aaron and
I are respectful of that, and we know it, but
we'll just kind of have our fun little Star Wars
reactions twist to it. And I hope my psychology many
(12:46):
psychology corners makes it different than all those other ones,
you know, right, Aaron, you know, just a little a
little different.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
Oh yeah, no, and and that's why you know we've won.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
We did.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
I didn't want to push the up uh and or
arc out tonight because it was, Uh, it deserves that
kind of attention that that you've been able to give it,
and it deserves that that a game level. So yeah,
we we want we want to put our twist on
on the and or reviews and uh to do that,
(13:21):
I'm ready. I want to be one hundred ready to go.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
Yeah, and that was that.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
That's fun. I'm excited to hear your your many psychology
corners for each arc there. And if you didn't catch that, yes,
we are going to do four episodes on and or
covering each of the three episode arcs. Uh. So that's
going to be a lot of fun to get that
done when that comes around. Uh, news wise, Uh, you know,
(13:54):
it's Award season, and everybody's trying to jump out and
get theirs, and of course everybody's trying to get and
or in there and get it nominated. And I think
a lot of uh, there's been a lot of videos
coming out, you know, for your consideration. So uh so
let's uh if you enjoyed and or make sure you
(14:16):
go out there, give it some more likes, give it
some more love, and let it uh get let's get
the word out because it is, it is something that
definitely does it deserves. It's the best Star Wars that's
come out in a while, and it definitely deserves the
love that it's getting. So I agree, so definitely definitely
(14:41):
get behind that and get that done. There there there
was circling back to Audible for a second. There was
some breaking news that I saw. I don't know if
it's really breaking news, but I saw it today and

It's going to be great.

much announcement as everybody else. But if you like the
behind the scenes stories from Star Wars, Gary Witti is
(20:26):
going to be there. And he was behind the scenes
writer and stuff on Rebels on Rogue one. I mean
he has had his fingers and everything during that timeframe,
so I mean he's going to be there as well.
So it's just going to be a fantastic weekend. That's
September twentieth and twenty first, so I'm looking forward to that.
(20:52):
Be wishing my sister a happy birthday from Okalla.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
What's her birthday?
Speaker 5 (20:58):
Twenty first first?
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Okay's first, so all right, but it's.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
Not like she's here anyway. She's in Arkansas. So well,
let's get off my back there you go, so I
can still call her and wish her a happy birthday.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
So that's right, that's right. I'm excited, man, I'm excited.
Speaker 6 (21:17):
I you know, I went two years ago, and first
Mary and Chaz were there and we spent time with
Sam whitwere and that was really cool.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
They also who was the I was trying to think?
So there was Sam was there? Oh? The kid? Who?
Speaker 6 (21:37):
Well, the two from Jedi Fallen Order, Yeah, I can
see Cameron Cameron Monaghan yep, and then the yeah, I
don't yeah she plays Maren right the yeah, the I
think a night sister yea. And so they were both
there just to the right of Sam whitwere and then uh, yeah, no,
(21:59):
that was really cool to see them there as well.
I just I haven't played the games since I'm not
into it as much. But then kind of at the lesson,
Tashirt Car was there. Yeah, yeah, she was there, and
I you know, it was ten years ago right now,
summer twenty fifteen that I'd gotten her autograph. Steve Blooms
(22:21):
and Vanessa Marshalls. I wasn't there the weekend. Taylor Gray
was there, and of course Freddy Prince Junior wasn't there
a Star Wars weekends. But I just went back, and
I thought in twenty seventeen, you and I got into
the Rebels panel and that right brother and Freddy Prince
(22:42):
was there. They had everybody up there and Dave Filoni,
So that was really cool that we were there to
see because that was really a panel to look back
at Rebels but prep us for the fourth and final season.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Yeah, that was the when they announced they were doing
the final season. And it's also when they finally let
the cat out of the bag that Ahsoka is live,
and which was great because you know, the whole time
be during the panel, Dave's trolling everybody by wearing a
T shirt that says Ahsoka lives with a question mark.
(23:23):
And then of course we get because we were at
the panel at celebration, they let us watch the first
episode of season four, so we watched that the lights
are out, everybody's watching it and it was a great experience.
And when the lights came back on, he's standing up
there on stage, got his cowboy hat on, and all
of a sudden, you start hearing whispering throughout the audience
(23:45):
and people starting to talk and point and everybody. Then
you realize he's chained shirts his shirt down says Ahsoka
lives period.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Yeah, that was that was that was slick.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
That was that was pretty that was pretty awesome. That's
that's such a day Filoadi move, which which that was great.
Uh So yeah, I'm looking forward to to Okhala and
having and I'm glad we're getting to go both days
because we can experience. Make sure we hit the panel.
I'm sure there's going to be panels and stuff for
all these people. You know, Ray Park always does a
(24:25):
panel where he's doing his lightsaber demonstrations and stuff, so
that'll be fun to be a part of. And I'd
love to hear from Manny about his experiences on on Alcolyte.
And then of course everybody wants to talk. I'll talk
about rebels all day.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
So yeah, I think they'll have those four up there.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
I was looking at all the different costs of pictures
and all that and and but they kind of show
click and I'm on Sunday. I think no, like it's
blocked off or something. So I'm guessing maybe a Sunday
panel for them.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
You know. The other person we didn't talk about was
Katie Sackoff. True, she's going to be there, and there's
I don't have enough money to meet all it. That
was the beauty of.
Speaker 6 (25:12):
Star Wars weekends, right, Just get there early enough and
get the wristband and you can enjoy the day in
the park and go back at the designated time and
you get the autograph.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
You're not you know so, but I gotta save my pennies, buddy.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
Oh, I understand that. Yeah, Katie, it's I don't know
how I forgot Katie sack Off both Tan from Clone Wars,
Mandalorian Rebels or Rebels.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Yeah, rebels she is, that's true her voice.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
So she's in all of it. So yeah, Katie's there
enough of course, if you don't know her, if you
if you also enjoy it like I do. I I
loved her in Battlestar Galactica too, so you know that'll
be a fun panel to attend if she does one.
So yeah, so fingers crossed.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
I honestly, I can't believe who they've got. I mean,
for Okalica, it's unbelievable. Honestly, it's this is a small
little calm, you know, so it's amazing. It's amazing. I
mean right here in my backyard. I you know, this
is out of the way.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
I mean, Lakeland is right between Orlando and Tampa, you
know where you are, and that's these celebrities can fly
into either one. But I don't know, maybe the organizers
here are really really uh making making relationships and connections
and making it happen.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
So yeah, it's That's one thing I had been thinking
about lately too, is how how much Okla colenkn has
just exploded with with with its guest list and everything,
and uh it is. And I've noticed specially even last
year they had the actress that played in Hate and Soca.
(27:02):
They're getting big names and they're doing a lot of
star Wars in the at this con, whereas Flip, you know,
I love Central Florida Comic Con and it's in my backyard,
and it's become more angle toward anime and Power Rangers,
yes at this point, but you know they they get
(27:26):
some buddy here and there, but it's mostly anime and
Power Rangers. Where I'm seeing Okella is a lot of
Star Wars and I love that. Yeah, so it's worth
the trip. Yeah, well think about it.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
This past January, you and I got to interview Emily
Swallow right the Armor in the Mandalorian and and she

(28:53):
the end of the show here and we went one
other thing. I just wanted to shout out if you are,
if you've followed me for a while, you know that
I do love card collecting.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Oh boy.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
And yesterday the twentieth of August were recording this. On

Speaker 5 (29:41):
Got actually a schedule look at that way gorgeous yep,
And so yeah, that's these are the cards are just
absolutely gorgeous in the air and the card stock that
they're printed on is phenomenal and all. Don't be scared.
(30:03):
They are branded as Alcolyte cards. Yeah, I can see so,
and that's that's who's on the box. So I don't
think they're all acolyte because they're not. There is some
acolyte in there.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
I got.
Speaker 5 (30:16):
I actually got a Manny Jcinto card in here that
I was thinking. I'm like, kind of after I saw it,
I'm like, I may have to take that to uh Okaala.
But one thing that really surprised me, and I wanted
to shout this out because I knew you would appreciate it,
is uh getting Star Wars resistance love there.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Oh my gosh. Yeah, boy, that's a blast from the
past for you and me.
Speaker 5 (30:43):
I know, right, it's crazy. Yeah, they got some given
some resistance, some love there and for those of you
that are listening, I think y'all can't see it, but
I'm literally just held up the card to the to
the webcam so he could see it. But yeah, it
was fun. It's been great.
Speaker 6 (31:03):
So now did you did you get into the cards
before we met Greg McLoughlin from Robt based card podcast
or like, because part of it, I feel like he
contributes to the delinquency of adults, not to a minor,
but he he he does this stuff to us.
Speaker 5 (31:22):
But wait, wait here, here's the thing. You know, I
can blame Matt and Jeff from from splash page for
my for for for my comic my comic obsession. Now, yes,
because I never I never read comics before. H this
is this is all Matt and Jeff's fault. Love you brothers.
(31:45):
And and I collected cards for years.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
I did.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
I collected cards for years. I'd been out of it
for years. Then then along came great I know, and
that kind of got me going, yeah, wish there were
more cards. And then last year with the twenty four
Krump tops chrumb that, I'm like, okay, I need I
(32:13):
need to do something. So I grabbed a couple of
those and I was. I was hooked at that point.
I'm like, ah, geez. So even then, with the Star
Wars Unlimited card game, I've been getting some of the
Rain Impacts just to get the cards because of the
artwork is just gorgeous on those. I'm still trying to
(32:34):
learn the game, don't have time to play the game,
but it's been fun. So yeah, all right, well we

Always, Well, everybody, and welcome to an all new Star
Wars Reactions. We are excited to have you, have you
care best. We are getting off early. Welcome to Star
Wars Reactions.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
We are.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
You know it's gonna be a fun one tonight, but
we're we're happy you're joining us this week. And I
know it's been a couple of weeks since we have
had a show, and we'll talk about that, but we
wanted to get back behind the mics. Let you know
we're still here, we're still doing good. So let's get
the introductions out of the way and get the show going.
(01:34):
My name is Aaron Harrison joining me as always is
the incredible David Matters. David Brother, what's up well recording
with you, buddy?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
I feel the same way about you. You're incredible to
record with, incredible co host.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
You lead this show and get us organized and but
ready to react and just have some just light hearted
not too full because just kind of what you and
I call random hutter.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
That's right, it is going to be a random chatter episode.
We're going to enjoy just some random Star Wars talk.
As you've seen, we have been a couple of weeks
since we release an episode. David was out of town
and then I just had a lot going on with
the house getting finished, and then of course trying to
(02:27):
get the office put together Reaction Studio, and then of
course my oldest finally moved off to college, moved her out,
and that's been a emotional roller coaster in and of itself.
So just been a little on the busy side in
our everyday lives, haven't we, David and Yes, been a
(02:49):
little crazy. Yes, we're back and we're ready to react
and just chat, have a lighthearted discussion. I know everybody's
waiting on our and Or reviews, and that actually is
what we had scheduled for tonight, was our and Or reviews.
But with everything that I've had going on, I have
(03:11):
and Or deserves a very in depth intellectual discussion because
of how good it is, and I'm just so exhausted mentally,
I just I couldn't bring my A game and y'all
deserve the A game, especially for and Or deserves the
a game y'all do, and Or does. And I knew
(03:33):
I would not be able to bring an a game
discussion for and Or, so we shelved it again. And
when we're doing the random discussion, random Chatter, so we
hope you enjoy. For those of you new to this show,
our Random Chatter series is a random series that just
pops up every once in a while. I believe this
(03:54):
is the volume ten.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Solid right.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
I think it's our tenth, our tenth Random Chatter. I'd
have to help confirm that going into the archive. But basically,
we just sit down and we just talk about whatever
we want to, no specific targets, no category. Normally, we
have show notes with just some ideas we've jotted down
so we can get some ideas, but we don't even
have that this week we are literally shooting from the cuff,
(04:24):
which is uh makes makes for good podcasting. I hope
we'll see how it goes, but it's gonna be fun.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
It'll be good.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
So there's been a lot going around. There's a lot
of a lot of stuff here there coming around. And
one of the things I wanted to touch on. I know, David,
you and I are big into audible. We've done a
lot of audible listening when it comes to Star Wars
books and stuff. I don't know if you haven't talked
(04:57):
with you yet to find out if you've listened yet.
But I just finished this week the Bad Batch novel Sanctuary.
Have you have you done that one yet?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
No? No.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
I saw that you had responded to Terry king right,
our good brother out there in Missouri, and we love Terry,
and he was asking for audible recommendations. Yep, I know
Christina Stevenson gave him some ideas and you did, and well,
tell me about this is your I saw you really
liked it.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
I didn't really like it. I had I loved it.
Here's the thing, you know, It's it's been a while
since there has been a Star Wars book released that
I could not put down. I could, you know, with
a lot of the stuff that's been coming out, really
I could read it, put it down, come back to it.
(05:49):
No big deal. It's been a while since one has
just grabbed me to the point that I just if
it was a physical copy, I would not would not
have left my hands. In this case, I couldn't turn
it off on audible. This literally felt like I was
(06:10):
watching the Bad Batch. It was just absolutely an incredible story.
It's a typical bad Batch story where the uh, basically
they're doing a pick up an extraction and like in
typical bad Batch fashion, the extraction job goes wrong. No,
(06:33):
no way, who could have guessed that. But it was
absolutely fan fantastically written, fantastically performed. This was this book
was written by Lamar Guy. I don't know if it's
Giles or Giles, but fantastically written.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
And it was actually performed, of course by everyone's favorite Markedopson.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Oh.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
I was just going to ask you who they got
because it was no. Mark Thompson's a star wart.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
And he did incredible on this book. He nailed the
voices for Hunter and uh this that that takes place
before the events of the third season. Yeah, and and everything.
So actually it's somewhere actually where did it take place,
(07:28):
I can't remember. It's Texas. Tech is still alive in this,
so we have Tech still alive. Uh, And a major
part of the story, I think it's when they're first
getting into the staying at Pabut, so it's before Tech dies,
(07:53):
and it does a lot of focusing on there's a
lot of story focused on Tech.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
And it was it's just a fantastic book. I mean,
my lord, it was one that I just and I
don't want to spoil it by giving a lot of
details because there's so many aspects to this book that
just it was just refreshing. It really felt like an
enjoyable Star Wars story for me.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
That's cool, man.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
And I cannot if you if you don't read books,
or if you read books, or if you do audible,
if you haven't done this when yet, pick it up.
It's called Star Wars Sanctuary. But yeah, it was. It
was a highlight over the last couple I mean literally,
I had it. It's a what the audio novels eleven
(08:48):
hours and forty six minutes long, and I had it
done in two workshifts. I listen, it's all I listened
to at work. Normally, I'll normally, I'll I'll break it up.
I'll start with a book, listen for a couple hours,
and I'll switch over to a podcast or something just
to spice it up, to keep me this thing I
(09:08):
could not turn off.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
That's cool, man, that's really cool.
Speaker 6 (09:12):
I was looking at my newest Star Wars Insider, number
two thirty three, and in the back it was taught
you know, they always give a preview of what they're
going to cover in the next issue, and I just
happened to look at it before you and I jumped on,
and it was mentioning the well the let's see, yeah,
the twentieth anniversary of Revenge of the Sith novelization by
(09:33):
Matthew Stover. And that was one that I, I mean
that that's incredible. Right now, You and I did an
episode of Star Wars Reactions covering kind of like the
top five Star Wars books during the Disney era. You know,
that was just you know, just recently we did that,
but if you go back, that one's pretty much universally
(09:56):
light and so I'm looking forward to reading that article.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
See what Matthew story. I'm actually shocked that he he
hasn't done a ton more.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
Yeah, yeah, that's surprising, Uh that he hasn't. You know, hopefully,
you know, hopefully that'll change, you know. It's it's interesting
to see how how it plays out, because he he
did really good. It was that was a well received
book that that he wrote, and a lot of people
really enjoyed it. Yeah, we'll see, you know, Yeah, I
(10:31):
would like to see that, Like c C. I mean,
the way the way Giles wrote this book, I'd be
very happy to see another one by him and this
give him another give him another bad, bad story. I'll
take it in a heartbeat. So so I thought I
thought that I wanted to throw that out there because
that was that was a big highlight for my Star
(10:53):
Wars week. Yes, it is getting that getting that book finished,
it was, it was really good.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
I'll say this just I know we're randomly moving around.
I just wanted to let listeners know that what I'm
going to try to do for each arc that Aaron
and I cover of and or I'm going to try
to pick out a little bit of psychology in each episode.
And it had little many psychology corners, bon't won't won't,
(11:24):
like you know, kind of three of them, one in
each episode. I've already done that, I said, Aaron's had
a lot we've been I just got back. I was
out west for a week helping my buddy.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
With some stuff, and so I did that last night.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
I was just getting prepped, and I've already looked ahead
to the next arc and kind of have a good
feel for what I'll do, you know, psychology wise, and
just I just want our listeners to know that. I
know I haven't done a lot of those lately, psychology corners,
or even many psychology.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Corners, but most of the time I just break out.
Speaker 6 (12:00):
One, right, Aaron, when we're talking, you know, So I
already looked at the first three episodes one year later.
It segrowna Tima and Harvest, and each one has there's
plenty of stuff, you know, Tony Gilroy, he gives you
so much meat on the bone.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
It's it's not difficult at all. So that's kind of
kind of what I want our.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
Listeners to know, and and I want them to know too.
And I actually, you know, Aaron, and I know that
people have covered this show ad nauseam. I mean a
lot of podcasts, you know, and and and Aaron and
I are respectful of that, and we know it, but
we'll just kind of have our fun little Star Wars
reactions twist to it. And I hope my psychology many
(12:46):
psychology corners makes it different than all those other ones,
you know, right, Aaron, you know, just a little a
little different.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
Oh yeah, no, and and that's why you know we've won.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
We did.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
I didn't want to push the up uh and or
arc out tonight because it was, Uh, it deserves that
kind of attention that that you've been able to give it,
and it deserves that that a game level. So yeah,
we we want we want to put our twist on
on the and or reviews and uh to do that,
(13:21):
I'm ready. I want to be one hundred ready to go.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
Yeah, and that was that.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
That's fun. I'm excited to hear your your many psychology
corners for each arc there. And if you didn't catch that, yes,
we are going to do four episodes on and or
covering each of the three episode arcs. Uh. So that's
going to be a lot of fun to get that
done when that comes around. Uh, news wise, Uh, you know,
(13:54):
it's Award season, and everybody's trying to jump out and
get theirs, and of course everybody's trying to get and
or in there and get it nominated. And I think
a lot of uh, there's been a lot of videos
coming out, you know, for your consideration. So uh so
let's uh if you enjoyed and or make sure you
(14:16):
go out there, give it some more likes, give it
some more love, and let it uh get let's get
the word out because it is, it is something that
definitely does it deserves. It's the best Star Wars that's
come out in a while, and it definitely deserves the
love that it's getting. So I agree, so definitely definitely
(14:41):
get behind that and get that done. There there there
was circling back to Audible for a second. There was
some breaking news that I saw. I don't know if
it's really breaking news, but I saw it today and

I you know, I went two years ago, and first
Mary and Chaz were there and we spent time with
Sam whitwere and that was really cool.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
They also who was the I was trying to think?
So there was Sam was there? Oh? The kid? Who?
Speaker 6 (21:37):
Well, the two from Jedi Fallen Order, Yeah, I can
see Cameron Cameron Monaghan yep, and then the yeah, I
don't yeah she plays Maren right the yeah, the I
think a night sister yea. And so they were both
there just to the right of Sam whitwere and then uh, yeah, no,
(21:59):
that was really cool to see them there as well.
I just I haven't played the games since I'm not
into it as much. But then kind of at the lesson,
Tashirt Car was there. Yeah, yeah, she was there, and
I you know, it was ten years ago right now,
summer twenty fifteen that I'd gotten her autograph. Steve Blooms
(22:21):
and Vanessa Marshalls. I wasn't there the weekend. Taylor Gray
was there, and of course Freddy Prince Junior wasn't there
a Star Wars weekends. But I just went back, and
I thought in twenty seventeen, you and I got into
the Rebels panel and that right brother and Freddy Prince
(22:42):
was there. They had everybody up there and Dave Filoni,
So that was really cool that we were there to
see because that was really a panel to look back
at Rebels but prep us for the fourth and final season.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Yeah, that was the when they announced they were doing
the final season. And it's also when they finally let
the cat out of the bag that Ahsoka is live,
and which was great because you know, the whole time
be during the panel, Dave's trolling everybody by wearing a
T shirt that says Ahsoka lives with a question mark.
(23:23):
And then of course we get because we were at
the panel at celebration, they let us watch the first
episode of season four, so we watched that the lights
are out, everybody's watching it and it was a great experience.
And when the lights came back on, he's standing up
there on stage, got his cowboy hat on, and all
of a sudden, you start hearing whispering throughout the audience
(23:45):
and people starting to talk and point and everybody. Then
you realize he's chained shirts his shirt down says Ahsoka
lives period.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Yeah, that was that was that was slick.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
That was that was pretty that was pretty awesome. That's
that's such a day Filoadi move, which which that was great.
Uh So yeah, I'm looking forward to to Okhala and
having and I'm glad we're getting to go both days
because we can experience. Make sure we hit the panel.
I'm sure there's going to be panels and stuff for
all these people. You know, Ray Park always does a
(24:25):
panel where he's doing his lightsaber demonstrations and stuff, so
that'll be fun to be a part of. And I'd
love to hear from Manny about his experiences on on Alcolyte.
And then of course everybody wants to talk. I'll talk
about rebels all day.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
So yeah, I think they'll have those four up there.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
I was looking at all the different costs of pictures
and all that and and but they kind of show
click and I'm on Sunday. I think no, like it's
blocked off or something. So I'm guessing maybe a Sunday
panel for them.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
You know. The other person we didn't talk about was
Katie Sackoff. True, she's going to be there, and there's
I don't have enough money to meet all it. That
was the beauty of.
Speaker 6 (25:12):
Star Wars weekends, right, Just get there early enough and
get the wristband and you can enjoy the day in
the park and go back at the designated time and
you get the autograph.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
You're not you know so, but I gotta save my pennies, buddy.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
Oh, I understand that. Yeah, Katie, it's I don't know
how I forgot Katie sack Off both Tan from Clone Wars,
Mandalorian Rebels or Rebels.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Yeah, rebels she is, that's true her voice.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
So she's in all of it. So yeah, Katie's there
enough of course, if you don't know her, if you
if you also enjoy it like I do. I I
loved her in Battlestar Galactica too, so you know that'll
be a fun panel to attend if she does one.
So yeah, so fingers crossed.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
I honestly, I can't believe who they've got. I mean,
for Okalica, it's unbelievable. Honestly, it's this is a small
little calm, you know, so it's amazing. It's amazing. I
mean right here in my backyard. I you know, this
is out of the way.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
I mean, Lakeland is right between Orlando and Tampa, you
know where you are, and that's these celebrities can fly
into either one. But I don't know, maybe the organizers
here are really really uh making making relationships and connections
and making it happen.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
So yeah, it's That's one thing I had been thinking
about lately too, is how how much Okla colenkn has
just exploded with with with its guest list and everything,
and uh it is. And I've noticed specially even last
year they had the actress that played in Hate and Soca.
(27:02):
They're getting big names and they're doing a lot of
star Wars in the at this con, whereas Flip, you know,
I love Central Florida Comic Con and it's in my backyard,
and it's become more angle toward anime and Power Rangers,
yes at this point, but you know they they get
(27:26):
some buddy here and there, but it's mostly anime and
Power Rangers. Where I'm seeing Okella is a lot of
Star Wars and I love that. Yeah, so it's worth
the trip. Yeah, well think about it.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
This past January, you and I got to interview Emily
Swallow right the Armor in the Mandalorian and and she
was not scheduled to be there, uh the you know,
so there wouldn't have been anything uh Star Wars there,
you know, except for our good friend Daniel our painting
(28:01):
cool Star Wars stuff. But you know, she came because
she was in Jacksonville helping her mother move Emily swallow yep.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
And then she she called up what the organizer who
she knows, and said, hey, can I come over?
Speaker 6 (28:15):
And He's like, yeah, of course, and you absolutely And

Speaker 5 (28:25):

and it was fun getting to to meet her there
and get everything going. So all right, this monitors driving
me nutsh AnyWho carabass? But we get to get to
(28:53):
the end of the show here and we went one
other thing. I just wanted to shout out if you are,

they're printed on is phenomenal and all. Don't be scared.
(30:03):
They are branded as Alcolyte cards. Yeah, I can see so,
and that's that's who's on the box. So I don't

acolyte in there.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
I got.
Speaker 5 (30:16):
I actually got a Manny Jcinto card in here that
I was thinking. I'm like, kind of after I saw it,
I'm like, I may have to take that to uh Okaala.
But one thing that really surprised me, and I wanted
to shout this out because I knew you would appreciate it,
is uh getting Star Wars resistance love there.

past for you and me.

can blame Matt and Jeff from from splash page for
my for for for my comic my comic obsession. Now, yes,

I did.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
I collected cards for years. I'd been out of it
for years. Then then along came great I know, and
that kind of got me going, yeah, wish there were
more cards. And then last year with the twenty four
Krump tops chrumb that, I'm like, okay, I need I
(32:13):
need to do something. So I grabbed a couple of
those and I was. I was hooked at that point.

Rain Impacts just to get the cards because of the
