sure you all caught that incredible newsbomb content drop from Disney plus um well,
(00:43):
from Disney itself. Uh. Youknow, it was coming at us
so fast from so many different fandomsthat I couldn't keep up. My mind
was like ber like, I thinkthree different live streams going at the same
time. Yeah, it was.And then and then everybody was blowing up
my phone. It's like, ohmy god, this is like the Apocalypse,
(01:06):
except it's Disney Chills. Yeah,Disney came to play and they threw
down the gauntlet. Yes, it'sthe same thing that WB did. The
DC fandom they did that to thissummer. I think it was, Yes,
that was yeah, so they didthe same way that DC did,
(01:26):
but they they they threw down andit's so much, so much, But
that was one fandom. This isall the things. This is all of
the mouse, all the mouse,all of the mouse, but we will

mouse, space mouse. I'm finewith it. Space coast, Coast Coast.
Yeah, that was a great chol. I love that show. When
I was growing up, I shouldn'thave watched and I was younger, but
I did. Yeah. I know, Like now I'm thinking, I've watched
YouTube videos of it and I'm like, huh, you know that totally went
over my head back in the day, all right, but now I'm like,
(02:10):
oh oh, oh, oh,oh, deary. So basically,
this whole episode, guys, isgonna be a recap of the Disney investors
announcements of all the Star Wars stuff. We were originally gonna do this episode
along with recapping two episodes of Mando, but we figured that one is going
(02:34):
to be extremely long and to theNews just deserves its own episode because it's
a lot to talk about. Yeah, So we're just gonna take a break
from the manifesto and we'll be backand we'll discuss the last three episodes.
We're gonna have Lawrence back from ourinitial season premiere episode discussion and it would
great, get lots of cool thingsto say, critiques, enjoyment, etc.
(03:00):
Yes, and instead of waiting twoweeks, since we are a bi
weekly podcast, instead of waiting twoweeks, we'll be releasing our episode actually
on the twenty third, so itwill be a few days after Mando Season
two ends, but we're releasing it, like I said, the twenty third,
and so we have you guys waittwo weeks on the thirtieth, so
(03:23):
that's also a tree and that afterthat that's our season finale, So we'll
be gone for a little bit enjoyingthe cold, cold Midwest. That's our
Christmas present to you. Is anhour and a half long recap of three
episodes, well two of us ina row. Also that I missed the
(03:44):
memo also on that. So let'slet's just start. Let's just let's just
dig on in there, shall we. Yeah, so we're gonna start,
We're gonna we're gonna break this upbetween the movie announcements and the television showed
announcements. Yes, movies come first, because they only announced I believe two
movie announcements while we have shows ofthe wazoo. So hold on, there's
(04:09):
more than that. I think there'slet me get one. I think there's
just two movies, three, four, five, five movies. We've got
five confirmed movies. I thought itwas just the two. What am I
missing? Um? Well, let'sget it. Let's let's start with the
(04:30):
two that you know. Yeah soum, let's start with the highly anticipated
Taiko Wait movie. Yeah so excited. He such a great vision. I'm
and you know, he's got thathe can do. He can do serious
moments, but that tongue in cheekcomedy that we've always kind of gotten from
the Star Wars movies, he's justperfect for that. Yes. Um,
(04:54):
they said that he is hard atwork writing it right now. Right now
he is busy filming or beginning tostarting to fil at least thor four.
I believe after that he's going tostart doing uh Star Wars. So it
shouldn't be too long until we startseeing some production coming out of the as.
Yeah, he's got his hands ona lot of cook right now.
Because he's also good. He's gota television show right now called Reservation Boys,
(05:15):
um, which let's fantastic thing tocheck out. Doesn't he also do
that? We are the Shadows NoShadows? Oh, no, yes,
what we do in the Shadows that'sthe one. Yep. And that's also
God. I love that show.It's so ridiculously funny. I started watching
it. It's so stupid, it'sso funny, funny. I love it
(05:36):
so much. So Yeah, he'she's gotta be exhausted. He's just gonna
be exhausted. But make that youmake it. Yeah. I cannot wait
to uh see this movie. Um. No casting announcements are happening obviously,
no story announcements, nothing like that. Um. We know that he is
(05:59):
writing it, uh and directing it, and that I believe they said it's
a twenty twenty two release. Ithink it's between twenty five. They're looking
at twenty twenty five or twenty twentyseven for that one. Yep. Oh,
I think no different one that's comingout in twenty twenty two. Never
(06:19):
mind, excuse me. I knowwhat you're thinking of, yeah, which
is yes. But I'm excited tosee if he will bring in his usual
cast of crazy, amazing comedians andwhatnot, because it would be I can
just see them as some interesting aliensor some funny droids, you know,
(06:42):
like I can hear their voices alreadyand how well. I want to know
what error he's going to be tackling. Yeah, that would be interesting.
I could see him doing sequel era. I want to see him do like
something of the one, like theold slash High Republic era. Yeah,
I think they. I almost feellike they're going to go darker with that.
(07:03):
Then he'll probably bring us two.I don't know, that's my prediction.
All right, you say Old Republic, I say, Sigel, and
we'll and we'll be both wrong,and we'll be somewhere in the middle,
both wrong. It'll be completely different. Yeah, it'll just be so it'll
(07:24):
be a different era that we haven'teven seen yet about that. It'll just
be rebels, that's all it'll be. Yeah. Um. And then the
second movie, which I screamed withjoy with myself. I am so excited
about every aspect of this. It'snot only because of the content of the
movie, but the fact that we'regetting our first female director for a movie
(07:46):
for Star Wars. Yes, uhso, so tell the folks what's going
to happen. We are getting arogue Squadron movie. Yeah, oh my
god. Yeah, so excited.We've you know, just gone on and
on and on about Rogue Squadron manytimes in the past because we had such
a great experience playing this game seriesas kids, and it is being helmed
(08:11):
by Patty Jenkins of the Wonder Womanseries. It's really interesting because so she,
Patty Jenkins, was actually in theAir Force and ever since then she
has always wanted to create like anamazing fighter pilot movie, but never found
the right story. This is herstory. Oh, this is her fighter
(08:33):
pilot story. It's gonna be it'sgonna be amazing. I'm really excited about
this. I am so happy.Yeah, it's called Rogue Squadron. Now,
the Rogue Squadron we know has likeyou know, Wedge, Luke and
all these characters, but fans aresurmising that it might be post right as
a Skywalker. Oh interesting, Soa new Rogue Squadron, new Roke Squadron,
(08:58):
possibly with old Wedge still because wesaw him came and raise a Skywalker
which great. Um, yeah,because he didn't he didn't die, he
was still alive. That could becool. You know, have Wedged teaching
a new generation of elite pilots sortof thing. And what's really cool is
(09:18):
that you know, and most ofthe Star Wars movies would a really cool
kind of space battle or some kindof fighter battle. This whole movie is
going to be like a fighter battlebasically. Yeah, that's gonna be great.
It's gonna be like Rogue one,but it's just battles, but space
better. I really cannot wait forit. Um And also, we said
(09:39):
as many times in the podcast before, um who we want to see uh
you know screen or not screen?Excuse me? Um uh score a new
Star Wars movie. And she's currentlyworking with Hans Zimmer right now for The
Wonder Woman too. Uh score.So I would love to see here bring
(10:01):
him in to score a fantastic spacemetal because that would just give me goosebumps.
Many a goosebump to be had.Yeah, he just I mean his
style would fit in very well.Oh yeah. Um so a Rogue Squadron
comes out? Is that one that'ssupposed to come out in twenty twenty two,
(10:22):
twenty two? Yeah, December twentysecond, sorry December twenty two,
twenty twenty three, twenty twenty three, Okay, yeah, um so I
cannot wait to see that. Umit. I mean, it's just it's
a great not only is it agreat movie announcement because it kind of moves
away. It obviously moves away fromthe Skywalkers, it moves away from you
(10:46):
know, that core knowledge of StarWars and brings you into something totally different,
which is smart. I guess wouldbe the word did you were to
use? Yeah? Um uh butyeah, So what do you think of
Rose Squadron. I'm absolutely probably stokedmost for that one. It's and like
(11:13):
you said, you know, weplayed the games and Star Wars Squadrons is
the spiritual success or too, RoseSquadron, which I've been playing NonStop and
it's very fun. So and alsoto know that Patty Jenkins is a Star
Wars fan is really kind of cooltoo, because I didn't expect to be
a Star Wars fans. She's oneof us. I know. I'm so
(11:35):
happy. Um hell, I wantto give give me a really cool,
like, uh female pilot that's themain character too. I assume that is
what is going to happen. I'mokay with it. Bring in Galga Dutt.
Oh yeah, that would be Iwould love to see her in Star
Wars. That would be really interesting. Yeah. Oh, I'm claiming that
(11:56):
costume now, like ever happens.Let her corner the Star Wars market.
Please. I would be so happyto see her in a Star Wars movie.
Yeah, that would be very cool. Um. So yeah, so
what other movies do we have?So we've got another confirmation for Ryan Johnson's
trilogy, whatever that will be.Um, did we get that confirmation during
(12:20):
this presentation? Though? Um?I thought we didn't. I think I
don't think we did. Did theynot talk about that again? No,
it's that's still up in the air. That's why I was wondering, like,
what the hell kind of other moviesyou're talking about, because there's only
been those those two that were announcedofficially. Oh all right, well,
(12:41):
well possibly we've got Ryan Johnson,Kevin fig and JD. Dillard heading other
Star Wars projects of the movie kindOh yes, those are that's the rumor
mill of the Star Wars yea,So we will see. I mean,
(13:01):
I guess they give Ryan his owntrilogy. I would like to see more
of his stuff, but it's stillvery up in the air, so we'll
see. Recently though, on Twitter, I think it was a few days
ago that it was the third anniversaryof last year that came out and the
outpouring of people who have I thinkkind of come to love this movie now
(13:22):
before you know, before they hatedit, but now I think they have
a new found appreciation of it.Um is really cool to see. I
I don't think it's a bad movieby itself. I think Ryan Johnson is
a great director. Um, Ijust don't. I don't think it fits.
(13:43):
I don't think the story was right. See I liked it. I
didn't. I don't. I'm notsaying I didn't like I don't think.
I just I don't like the waythey handled Luke. That's it. That's
my biggest gripe. And to knowthat Mark Hamill did like it either,
you know, that just kind ofconfirms that all for me. That's a
(14:05):
that's a fair statement. Yeah,it's that's really that's really it. Um.
Well that in the whole slow chasethrough the galaxy, oh the we'll
run them down when they're out offumes chase. Yeah, Okay, never
(14:26):
mind. I have a lot ofissues with this movie. It's all coming
back to you now. Yeah,I take it back. No, I
have lot of issues with this movie. I have a lot of issues the
whole trilogy. But yeah, doesn'tmean, I don't like them. I
just haven't. I have issues.It's you know, it's it's a fair
statement. But I think given nonSkywalker story, you know, card Blanche,
(14:54):
whatever he wants, I think hecould do something really interesting in the
universe. So I'm interested to seethat. We'll see how it goes,
We'll see if that actually materializes.That's yeah, okay, So for that
(15:16):
so well, movie Rise, that'sit. That's pretty much it. That's
yeah, because yeah, like Isaid, it's just been those two officially
that have been announced. More obviouslythey're going to be on the way.
But yeah, they're gonna milk thisfor all it's worth. We're getting Star
Wars content until the end of time. Oh yes, I mean, why
(15:39):
why wouldn't you? Yeah, I'mnot angry. I'm not angry. No.
Um. So on that note,guys, we're going to take a
quick little break, and then whenwe come back, we're going to be
talking about all of the new StarWars series coming out, which there is
a lot, there's so many anythings, so so much so stay tuned,
(16:03):
guys, and we'll be back ina second. And we're back.
So, how how do you wantto tackle this Um, well, let's
start with the obvious one, whichwould be that we have gotten confirmation of
a third season for The Manoiren,Yes, which premiers next Christmas. Yeah,
(16:29):
that's it really is long time.Yeah, they're making us wait a
whole year because the past season twoand season one from here in October.
This is now Christmas. There betterbe more episodes. I don't know if
it's they're waiting because of COVID.I don't know if they're doing more,
like, you know, technology wise, I'm not quite sure, but I
(16:51):
don't know. It does kind ofsuck, and it also kind of sucks
for us too, because how arewe going to take our winter our winter
break? Right, We'll have towe'll have to reconfigure that. Yeah,
that's gonna be a tricky one tomaneuver. But we might take a spring
break. I don't know. Ithink that that's actually that's a good point.
(17:11):
We can probably do a spring break, although there's so much coming out
that we may never be able totake a break. Oh no, damn
it, we're taking a break.We deserve this, We deserve it,
God damn it. Yeah. Soseason three obviously has been foundational for all
of the spinoffs that are coming correctdown the pipeline. So it's no surprise
(17:34):
that we're getting a season three.It's no surprise that we're getting a season
three with this current storyline. Asyou know, we'd hitting we know it's
not gonna get wrapped up in himin one episode. Oh no, no,
no no, so yeah, sokind of let's stem from that.
So for the spinoffs, we haveobviously Asoka, which I was so happy
(17:59):
they confirmed that. Yeah, sothat's gonna be great. So we're gonna
be continuing Soca's journey um to searchfor Thrown, you know, hopefully hoping
we'll probably get some rebels, figurespopping upon. You have so much live
up to. Don't fuck this upso much. Do not fuck this up
because yeah, exact people, Solet's not suck this up. Um.
(18:26):
So, really looking forward to thatbecause you know, this will focus more
on on the Jedi and and Forceusers, and Thrown is my favorite villain
of almost any fandom ever, soit'll be amazing to see him live action.
Really really interested in that. Whowould you like to play Thrown?
(18:49):
Oh? Um man, that's hardbecause every single person on the internet right
now is saying Benedict Cumberbatch. Yeah, I've seen, I've seen fan art.
I can see it, I couldsee it. I don't know,
(19:14):
I don't know. My mind wentto Jimmy Smitz for a second, which
is really weird. But I don'tknow. Maybe somebody like that, somebody
of that build of who you feellike Jimmy Smitz bail Organa, but he
can't play, I know he can't. But somebody like that. I don't
know why, somebody of that build. I just feel like somebody who would
(19:40):
be tall and can be menacing inblue skin, Yeah, blue skin,
might eyes, gotta be real,scurry, yeah, he's gotta be.
But I think it's gotta be somebodywho has a really interesting physical presence as
well. The Aaron was also saying, um, the voice actor who voiced
Throng, which is uh uh,not Mads Nicholson, but his brother Lars.
(20:04):
Oh yeah, and I see,I could see I could see Matt
Nicholson, but we've already got himand everything exactly. We can't have him
do it. He does too muchalready. I don't know. So parents
has the He absolutely has the bonestructure for it, exactly. I could
(20:30):
totally yeah, you know, Icould totally see him. That would be
interesting. It wouldn't be a badgig. It would not be a bad
gig at all. That would bevery interesting to see if they could carry
that over. I think he couldcarry that. Yeah, I really think
he could. So with Ahsoka,clearly it's gonna be her ground the Galaxy.
(20:55):
I'm assuming we'll see Sabine as well. Yes, um maybe this will
be when we see live action Ezra. Yeah, that's what I'm hoping for.
Um, it would be. Iwant to see Harrah. Yeah,
I wonder if we'll have um twomore appearances with or if she's mainly gonna
(21:18):
be That would be great. Yeah, but I think she might be relegated
to Demandal Warrin for abvious reasons.I know. But I want to see
her interact with Ahsoka now I know. I know me too. Maybe we'll
get that in the finale. Idon't know. Maybe, I don't know.
I would not be surprised if shemakes another appearance in the finale.
Oh, I wouldn't be either.But um, okay, So, moving
(21:42):
on from the Asoka series, whicheveryone is very happy about, you have
a new series called Rangers of theNew Republic. Yeah, and I'm not
I'm not all that enthused about thisone. I mean, sure it'll be
(22:02):
interesting. Is it about like abunch of X Wing pilots? No,
So I think it's good. It'sgoing to be like, it's gonna be
like Chuck Norris, Texas Ranger inSpace. That is what I envised us
being that's what the Rangers are.That's that's what they're. You know,
they're Rangers there their law enforce theirlaw enforcement. So I imagine it would
(22:26):
be something to that effect. Somuch noises but yes, sorry, I
told them to be quiet, butthey're not really good at listening, right
clearly. Um. Yeah, sothis series would probably feature more of cardoon
(22:47):
um, which I am absolutely completelyagainst. Um. Disney needs to drop
her like a hotcake. But itgets her off the Mandalorian. Yeah,
but it's still give her. She'sstill getting the money. She's still getting
Disney money, and I don't wanther getting any of the money. Let
me impose these two questions onto you. One, do you think that she
(23:11):
will appear in season three and thengo on to Rangers, Because that's how
kind of I think it's going tohappen. Un be a full season three,
could be half a season three andthen goes on due Rangers and two.
If she is going to be aforefront character and Rangers of the New
Republic, will you watch that show? No? I will not because they
(23:34):
said, well, they said that'sit ties into the Mandalorian, it ties
into Ahsoka as well, so itdoesn't matter. I can read the spoilers.
Wants also true. I won't giveit my I won't give it my
viewership. Um, I could seethat timeline too. I am really really
hoping that with enough outpourings from theinternet that they will drop her. Yeah,
(24:00):
I don't. It's a it's amixed bag because you see a bunch
of people doing the outpour but thenyou also see that Disney really isn't paying
attention to it right now. SoI don't know. Well, and I
don't think. I don't think theywould make a comment unless I don't know.
They're probably waiting for something bulatant.But did you notice heculating, So
(24:23):
I wouldn't surprise if that it's ifit's coming. Well, do you see
that every single uh series they saidstarring so and so except for this one.
Um, every single one they said, starring they said, Asoka,
starring with Sarrio Dawson, they said, except for Lando, and this one
(24:45):
basically is the one that they said, you know, starring so and so.
Does the Accolade have a starry it? Okay? So I like so
those three, yeah, but everythingelse does. And so I'm wondering if
they didn't say who it's starring becausethey're like, uh, we don't know
(25:07):
if we can have her still Yeah, well, I mean they might be
leaving their options open um, andI really hope that they are. So
yeah, Gina, you're listening,which of course or not, but fuck
you, fuck you so much.Um, Yeah, I don't know if
I don't know, if I'm veryit's it seems like it's gonna be a
(25:30):
cool show. But at the sametime, like I said, if she's
gonna be a whole a part ofit a lot, I don't really want
to watch it that much. LikeI'm sorry, like it's not me,
you know, being a conformist andsay she shouldn't like it's just me.
I don't. I don't like herright now. So sorry, Yeah,
no, I'm I'm fine, I'mgood. I'm sure. Like I said,
(25:52):
if if it's really going to tieinto the other shows. I can.
I can read the synopsis online.So let's go into a whole different
direction of Star Wars, and that'sStar Wars Visions. Yes, which is
anime Star Wars excited. It's StarWars for will a booze. Yes,
(26:18):
finally we have our day in thesun. Finally we shall reveal our sun
to the normal Star Wars fan.I cannot wait. I'm pretty stoked.
I have always been a huge fanof the Star Wars mangas. They're beautiful
and cute, and I'm already ananimate fan. So this is gonna be
great. I'm excited. I reallyit looks to be very fun. They
(26:44):
showed a few of like a littlevisual thing when they were doing the presentation.
This was out of left field.I'd not expect to see this.
Yeah, that's great. No onereally predicted this one. They predicted an
Asoka show, they predicted a fewothers, but nothing like this. So
(27:07):
take that. I will it's gonnabe. It's gonna be great. Um,
I really do think it's gonna be. I think it's gonna be cute.
I almost wonder since it's gonna beall these little like vignettes. I
almost wonder if it'll take on sortof like the Marvel What If series that
they also announced. Oh yeah,yeah, so that would be interesting to
see if they take on you know, different, different alternate universe kind of
(27:33):
possibilities. People have talked about that. Possibly think it'll be interesting. Whatever
it is, it'll be it shallbe interesting. I agree. Um And
like I said, it's anime StarWars, so they kind of not corner
the market there, but they bringin more viewership and they're more you know,
being inclusive and stuff like that,which is kind of cool. So
(27:53):
yeah, I really like that.Um. And the next we have,
UM, let's do let's talk abouta droid story. Yeah, because it's
similar. So that's gonna be umreally nice. Because this one's gonna be
a Lucasfilm UM Animation and visual Effectsteam, so it'll be like the Industrial
(28:15):
Light and Magic um HM teaming upto this one. So it's great.
It's always great to see them onboard. This looks like it'll be pretty
lighthearted and cute. It's definitely forthe kid I would say. Yeah,
So this one is billed as itwill be an epic journey that will introduce
us to a new hero guided bythe legendary duo or two D two and
(28:36):
C three po, so it shouldbe which, of course that means that
Anthon Daniels is coming back as uhC three P pretty cute. Yeah.
Um, I'm thinking this will belike a Droid Tales, like the New
Droid Tales. Like was that onefrom the eighties? Right? Yeah?
(28:56):
Yes, eighties, early nineties somethinglike that. No, I feel like
it was like the early eighties.Let me see, Oh was it that
was like before? It was likebefore I was born, because it coincided
with the Ewok Adventures. Right,hang on, let's see for tails.
(29:18):
No, not the not the legoone. Was it called droid Tales?
If it wasn't, was it DroidStories? No? Right? What was
it called stories? Tell us thetype in Star Wars droid cartoon. You'll
it'll pop up? Okay us destroidCARKI okay, let's see speak to me
(29:47):
Google Adventures of the Droids. Iwas Destroids? Good, it's just rock
Um eighty five swinging a miss eightyfive. Okay, yeah, we're both
so mid eighties. I can Isee it being like in in the Spiritual
Success or ways of that. Yes, yes, that's what I'm thinking,
(30:11):
which would be really cute because theydidn't because it was the I mean that
was the Avengers of our two andthree Pio so correct, So yeah,
it'll be it'll be cute. Andyou know, I'm sure I'll watch a
few episodes two just because Anthony Danielsa C three po is fantastic. So
yes, you can't go wrong there, No, literally cannot go wrong there.
(30:37):
All right, So another exciting one? Yes? Which one? Oh
we won No, we're playing thatfor last? Were saving that? We're
like, oh, I wanted tosave another one for last, but okay,
we can see that for the last. This one, okay, okay,
well let's talk about it. Let'sgo back to animation. Let's stick
with animation. Um, the badBatch. It looks so good. I
(31:00):
know that's gonna be great and lovethe bad Batch. This is gonna be
a very I think, um interestingmaterial for them to cover an animated form,
much like you know Rebels and it'sdark. It is it is dark
material. I think this is gonnaget it's gonna get pretty dark because this
(31:21):
is this is post Order sixty six, correct, It takes place it looks
like during Revenge of the Sixth andright after. Um, that's some that's
some heavy stuff. Yes. Andso it's also in the same animation style
as the last season of Clone Wars, which you and I both loved.
(31:41):
Y just beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. We have two casting confirmations. De
Bradley Breaker obviously is coming back tovoice every single Clone in existence. Yes,
and then we also have ming NoahWin is confirmed she's coming back as
young Finnick. Oh that's the sametailor. That's so cool. Yeah.
(32:02):
So it's it's cool to see thatbecause when I was watching the trailer,
I was like, oh, isthat Phinnic? And I see the helmet,
I'm like, that's fucking Finic.I love it. Migo Win has
won the Star Wars universe. Yeah, she's fantastic. I really do love
her. Um but yeah, sobad bad. And also I mean at
these locations too, I mean onelooks like Bokura, one looks you know,
(32:23):
obviously there's corris on. It lookslike uh, the slave planet,
tight Titherium, tyke On, tyTie something. Uh uh, it looks
really really good. I want toknow if they're gonna hunt down Jedi in
this because if that's the case,I'm on board, like fully, Oh
(32:44):
yeah, dark dark, dark dark, Yes, it'll be it'll be interesting.
Um. I kind of see thisbeing as almost like a dark A
team. I can see that.Yeah, that's very much kind of the
they have already. Oh yeah,um, and I just it looks so
(33:07):
we'll probably get to see how youknow, the Clones were phased out,
how the storm Troopers were brought in, because we see nothing but clones during
this. We don't see stormtroopers yet. Yeah. I have to wonder if
they've already got the switch built intothem to turn them against the Jedi.
(33:30):
Do they have like a basic basicallya kill switch like a cyanide switch that
will make them kill themselves? Oh? I don't because they said there's like
some books that clones were still servingat the time of the Empire, So
I don't know. Yeah, are, I would imagine some are, but
maybe yeah, maybe maybe they getrid of lots of them for some reason
(33:52):
or who knows. I don't know. Um I uh, I can it
looks really fun. Uh. Andagain it's it's kind of the spiritual not
spiritual. It is the successor toClone Wars. Yes, Um, which
would I would have wanted another seasonof Clone Wars of unaired episodes, Yes,
(34:15):
but I will take this as well. Yeah, this will be fun
and maybe we'll see a few Jedipop up I don't know, like it'll
be kind of cool. I doubtwe'll see Ahsoka. But it's also Dave's
cartoons, so we probably see asca. You. Um, it looks great,
It looks fun, It looks youknow, like every single episode is
(34:37):
going to be an action packed episode. Um. We don't know the episode
account yet, I believe, Um, we know that it premiers. I
believe they said March pretty next year. Yeah, so we don't have to
wait too much longer. Yeah,so this is one of the earliest ones
we're getting. This is the firstone out to bat. Yes, I
(35:00):
can't wait. Looks great. Tenout of ten will view absolutely. Do
you realize that we have so muchshit to cover on the show now?
Goddamn it, it's just so much, so much. This is a lot,
guys, We may we may skipsomething. I don't know. This
is a lot to cover. Remindsme though, we should probably take another
(35:20):
break for our sponsors. Yes,we're gonna take one one last break,
and then we're going to talk aboutthe last let me count them real quick,
one, two, three, fourshows in the Star Wars slate,
So be very bad, guys.Cool, we're back once again. So
(35:44):
let's talk about a show that's filmingright now, which is and Or.
Yes, so that's what we've knownabout for a while. Correct, And
then we have a release date fornext year? Is it next year?
Twenty twenty one? Yep? Ohwow, okay, yep, We've got
(36:07):
some I've got some interesting cast announcements. Um, Geneviva Riley is coming back
as Mond Mathma, which is gonnamake our friend Lydia so happy. Yes,
it's gonna be great. Um,that's still Uh. Adria, Adria
don't know who? I adore sucha huge crush on her. Um,
(36:29):
who is she? She sounds reallyfamiliar. Did you watch the Good Omen
series? Um? Bits and piecesof it? She was the Witch?
Oh? Okay, yeah, Ilove her. Okay, I know I
know you're talking about now. Yes. Uh, we got Fiona shot um,
(36:52):
which is fantastic for I mean,that's really cool to see her in
a Star Wars series. I don'tknow. Uh, Denny scow is I
might know if I see her googleher. We also obviously um have um
an Irish actress cool um, Ohmy god, I'm oh I know who
(37:12):
this is? Okay, Oh myfucking god. Who plays Cassian? Do
you have a Luna there? That'sthe man Jesus Christ. We happy to
turn back out of the titular role, yes, with Alex returning as as
K two. Yes. Uh.And also this so I think they said
(37:37):
this story takes place two or threeyears before Rogue one. Yes, so
we don't get a whole lot oftime with someone. No, it's really
sad because we know where this isgoing. Absolutely nobody has a happy ending,
but it will be interesting to seea spy thriller sort of James Bond
(37:57):
kind of take. The only one'shappy ending in that series is mon Mathma.
She lives until they return of theJedi, so she's good. She's
good. Yes, I would loveto see um. Speaking of Jimmy Smith's
earlier I would love to see himcome back as Bail Organa. Oh that'd
be great. Yeah, I wouldthis. This show looks amazing. They're
(38:21):
filming it right now, like theysaid, it's in London. I believe
they're filming it right now. ProbablyI think the filming is taking place in
the UK, yes, which Iwas speaking. We just say too.
They announced that they have built threenew uh sound stages like they have for
Mandalorian. They have a new onein the US that's bigger. They have
one in the UK and they believethey said they have one in Australia.
(38:44):
Oh interesting Australia, so I knowthey're doing cool stuff. They can do
that in Scotland right now, sothat should be question. Yes, um,
I really cannot wait to see thisseries. Uh. Not only that,
but you have uh you know andan actor who is he's Latino?
(39:08):
Yes? No, oh yeah,well I mean right now, the representation
for Latinos in the Star Wars pantheonis fantastic. When you've got Rosario Dawson,
We've got um um, Gean Carlooh crap, what's his last name?
(39:28):
Espasito? Thank you? Um?And then Diego Luna yeah, among
lots of others. So yes,so more representation is obviously very very good.
Yeah. In fact, we aregetting a very very diverse crowd of
stars just throughout these new movies,and not only stars, but also directors
(39:49):
and writers and producers and stuff likethat as well. It's not it's all
the behind the scenes stuff too.Was getting a lot of representation as well,
which I'm very happy for. Ohsorry, and obviously the Mandalorian yes,
basically yeah, it's also in thethe Latino representation, so awesome.
I would also love to see ForestWhittaker come back as saw Yes, that
(40:12):
would be lovely. Um, justto bring back a bunch of Rogue one
characters that we you know, don'tgo to see a whole lot, yes,
and PLoP them in there. Also, this gives a representation or representations
a reasonable chance of us seeing Rebelscharacters too. That's true. Oh that's
true. We could run into themonce again, so you know it's not
(40:37):
the realm of possibilities for that.So yeah, um yeah, I cannot
wait for Cassie or for and orexcuse me, yeah, I'm by that
one. We've known about it fora while, but you know, new
cast nilencements and release dates. I'mI'm really excited about this one. Yes,
and now let's move on to possiblythe smoothest guy in the galaxy.
(41:00):
Ah, yes, we're getting afucking Lando series. Yes, uh no,
confirmation of Donald Glover. Unfortunately,God, can we just get an
old Lando serious? That would beamazy. So this was in the room
(41:22):
for a while. Hang on,what if they did it this way?
Very okay? Have you ever seenthe Young Indiana Jones adventures? Yes,
and they're not good. No they'renot. But wait what it's not very
good? The format of those isthey would have they would open it with
(41:43):
old Indiana Jones, like sitting bythe fire or whatever, you know,
the gollege with an eye passion,no sure, recalling us with the stories
of his youth, um and hisadventures would show you, and then it
would jump into young What if theybought back both of them and did it
that way? How great with that? I wouldn't be mad with that.
(42:06):
Wouldn't that be fantastic? And likeOrlando's you know, doing his podcast on
the Calveristy and Chronicle still it's thelongest running podcast in the Galaxy. And
yeah, you know he's sitting thererecording, he's got a drink in his
hand, he's just you know,smooth. That would be. That would
be then Donald Glover is doing allthe adventure stuff. Yes, write that
(42:28):
down, Disney, write that down. Just credit us as the ideas for
that, please thank you okay byum No, I would love that.
I would also love seeing just straightBilly Dee Williams and him like on The
Adventure with Janna. Oh yeah,it would be really cool. Like I'm
good with either. I like hersa little bit better because we get Donald
(42:52):
Glover's Lando again, but yes,I just I love Donald. Ever.
Also, this could take place beforeSolos, so we would get um El
back as well in her sass,which would be fantastic. Oh yeah,
and so this is um relationship.The fore runner for this is Justin Simon,
who is the creator of Dear WhitePeople, which, if you have
(43:15):
not is a phenomenal phenomenal both movieand series, highly recommend um. And
he has such a great flair forsardonic comedy that this just this fits so
perfectly for Lando. I think it'llbe fantastic. He Also he does sex
appeal really well too, So thisis a premo pick, premo pick.
(43:40):
So yeah, definitely, I can'twait. All right, So that leaves
two more, the two one ofthem most excited about same here. So
I'm left up a coin and wantyou to call either heads or tails,
and I swear I will, Iwill be truthful to this. Heads all
right, so call so heads willbe for what obi wan and then tails
will be for Accolyte. Yeah okay, I like yeah, okay, I
(44:04):
like that. Okay, so holdon, let me flip it. Let
me flip it so it Mike doesn'tnecessarily pick up me dropping it as well.
So hang on, all right,call it heads or tails tails?
I like taals. It is heads, all right, obi Wan it is
Oobi doop scooby doooby so obi Wanlast, right, no one first,
(44:27):
then Accolyte last. Okay, Ohthat's what I wanted anyway. Yeah cool,
okay, so Obi huge, huge, huge treas. Oh my gosh,
this is what we've been waiting for. This is the confirmation that we've
wanted. All of her dreams arecoming true. Oh my goodness, you
and MC back the confirmation. Wegot it last time at whatever they were
doing. You can't remember what itwas, maybe it was D twenty three.
(44:51):
Uh, but we got that confirmationwhen she said come on out,
when Kathleen Kennedy excuse me, saidcome on out. You and Gregor and
he came out and she asked him, you want to be one again?
He's like, maybe, sure,So we got the confirmation a long time
ago, but now it's like,but it keeps getting delayed, and that's
happening. Now it's happening. Andnot only is you and McGregor on board,
(45:13):
but Hayden Christians. In his backnote, they said, Hayden Christian
is not playing Anakin Skywalker. He'splaying Darth fucking Vader. He's gonna be
in the suit. So I wonderhow they're going to handle this, Like,
how are they gonna do the voice. It's just it means James Earl
Jones probably gonna come back and dothe voice. Yeah, maybe, I
(45:36):
don't know. I don't know.I mean I'm just got well because so
his voice is aging, it doesn'tbut it's not bad like he was in
rug he was fine. It wasI mean, I could I could hear
the difference. Um, I'm nothanging out of it. I was just
happy to hear his voice again.Yeah, I am just he's not a
(45:57):
young man. The tumultuous times forfor people who are not young and I
also going to voice Darth Vader.Well, the guy the there's a guy,
what's the guy who always voices him? And like the in the um
in the movies and stuff. Notthat's hard. The movies, the U,
the video games on. There's mea lot of them though, So
(46:20):
I don't know when you're talking aboutit was like a main guy, Ah,
what is his name? I aboutthe guy who like, oh I
think I know he was in theForce and leashed games as Vader. Yes
him, Yes, that guy,Okay, the one who sounds a lot
like Okay, that's fair. Yeah, but no, it needs to be
James Earl Jones. And I willnot take anything less than that. It'll
just be it'll be so weird tohave like Hayden Christison running around in a
(46:45):
suit and he guys no voice.But well, I assume we will get
we will get helmet off Vader moments. Well, then we'll also get probably
Anakin flashbacks too, and we willget we will get Anakin flash Well.
See, so they're saying he's notgonna be playing Anakin, which means I
would think that we're getting flashbacks toFallen Anakin who is Darth Vader basically,
(47:09):
or a Hayden's voice haunting Obi Wanor something. I don't know. Yes,
yeah, either way, holy cow. Well also did you notice.
So actually, so this is alittle bit of information come out after this.
So they didn't show this Sizzle roleto us. They only showed it
to the Disney Like investors themselves.You and said that I cannot wait till
(47:30):
one get to work with Hayden again, and two we get to go at
each other one more time. Yes, yes, yes I didn't. I
didn't read about that. Um So, is there going to be a fucking
duel? It's I mean, it'scanonically possible if you if you think about
the wording. I don't know,um or it could just be that we're
(47:52):
we're going to see more flashbacks.But it makes that like if they are
going to duel again Vader and obiWan. It makes that line in return
and a New Hope a whole newdifferent thing. It doesn't mean that the
last thing they saw each other wason Moustafart. It means last ning they
saw each other was ten years prior, because the state takes this place,
(48:12):
takes place he's made ten years beforea new Hope. Yeah. Um And
it's I mean, it's totally possible, you know. He He says he
hasn't felt this presence of a longtime but we don't know how long exactly,
and he does say, you know, last time we've met you with
the master, and I was sothe pupil um. Technically he could still
be a pupil of pain. He'snot a master yet. She could still
(48:39):
be doing the sith thing, whichshe even she was like, no,
I don't grant you the rank ofmaster either, just bitch slaps them.
Nope, nope, yes, um, so I don't know. So happy
for this series, like, andalso Deborah Chow is directing all the episodes.
(49:01):
I believe I wanted to get that. She will be show runner director
of all of this, which isshe's so good at action, it's gonna
be great. But the sad thingis it's a limited series of six episodes
and that's apparently it, which Ican I can kind of see that,
so Ben not Polly Mandalorian bullshit.Where like, these episodes are different run
(49:23):
times. I want them forty fiveminutes and above and that's it. Yeah,
we just get hour long episodes.Everyone should be I want six hours
where we wan kenobi. If it'stwenty to thirty five minutes, I will
riot that's not enough. Yeah,I wonder if we'll get a tie in
with with grogu. Oh maybe cansee that could have happened. Um I
(49:50):
really yeah, I really cannot waitfor this series games with uh yes,
with Anakin on the on the phonebasically grow Google will come to the Temple
to day. Yes, just staystay home. But um and also so
this uh the internet exploded with happinesswhen they heard that Hayden Christienen was coming
(50:15):
back. Which here's the thing.Everyone, you know post Revenge of the
Sith for a good long while saythat Hayden ruined the prequels for them.
It ruined basically two and three,which never I never understood. He's not
the best of actors. I willgrant you that. But here's the thing.
(50:36):
I think time whom time heals mostwounds. So to see people even
online saying hey I made a mistake, I am actually very happy. I'm
pumped to see this onset chemistry again. I'm very happy that he is back.
As as this role, it saysa lot. It speaks a lot
to people. I look, Iwill sad thats Hayden Christianson is Annak and
(51:00):
Skywalterer. He is annakid skywar That'sit. He is further, Hayden Christiansen
didn't ruin the Prequels. George Lucasis writing ruined the Prequels. The man
cannot write dialogue. It doesn't matterhow great an actor you are. If
you're giving horrible dialogue, it's justyeah, yeah. Harrison said, you
(51:23):
know, George, you can typethis ship but I can't say it,
or something like that. Yeah,it's yeah. So because so my answer
to people saying that Hayden Christianson's notthat grave an actor is watch Life as
a House. If you've never seenthe movie Life as a House, which
came out, I would say aroundthe time of Revenge of the Seth.
(51:46):
I believe he is so good inthat it's a drama and it's it's it's
excellent. He's so good, it'sreally good. Um, I've seen it
a couple times. It's been quitea few years. I should probably give
it a rewatch, recommending people watchit. But I always thought he was
amazing in that. Um, Idon't think he's I don't think he's a
bad actor. I think he hada bad run of things. I mean,
(52:07):
look, Natalie Portman comes off asabsolutely terrible in this movie. Just
yeah, abysmal acting, and NataliePortman is a phenomenal actress. I mean
Oscar winning phenomenal actress. So that'sthat's It's the writing. It's the writing.
(52:29):
It's the writing. It's probably alittle bit of the directing. You
can only do so much what you'regiving here, and they weren't given very
great things. No, I yeah, I agree, and I think I
think with Debrah Chow and some reallygreat writers, I think we will see
the Anakin that we got out ofthe Clone Wars. I hope. So
(52:53):
that's my favorite incarnation of Anakin.Yes, oh yeah, he's fantastic.
That's the Anakin that we all wanted. Yeah, that's the one that we
could believe could have fallen to thedark side for the reasons that were given.
It just made it make sense.Yeah, that episode start or that
series starts filming. I believe springof next year. With yeah, probably
(53:20):
twenty twenty two, Gregory Christensen andChow, we are. We're in for
a wild ride. I'm happy.I would flip my ship if now the
Portman came back as a cameo too, can you imagine. I'm just gonna
say it. She's already on boardfor Marble. Come on, she's already
got Disney money in her pocket.Just just keep it taking the Disney money.
(53:42):
Yeah, I would absolutely just flipmy utter shit. Can you imagine
we get new padme outfits? Youshut your goddamn hormouth right now, like
like he's just haunted by all thesepeople that he thinks that he failed,
(54:02):
and she sho up or something.Yeah, I don't know what. It
would be amazing. I want LiamNeeson to pop up to Oh I heard
rumors about that, so I wantI want him to pop up. I
want Yoda to come into play somehow. Yes, that would be like it's
(54:24):
calling each other. Well, I'msorry your party copy reach right now,
you're just like god, damn it, God damn everyone, get off the
can busy you are you live anddoesn't know what have you to do?
(54:45):
Um so getting with my horrible Yodaimpersonation. I have our Oh thank you,
we have our final series, whichwhen I saw this pop up,
I knew immediately like Chris has aheart on right now. Oh god,
oh I could oh, I canonly get so erect nipples fully just pierced.
(55:06):
They could cut glass gist ah suscriberas we get now after that.
So The Acolyte very mysterious, interestingname. Um, it's going to be
a female centric Star Wars series,uh huh and part yep so, and
(55:31):
the the show runner will be theco creator and executive producer of the series
Russian Doll, which is a trip. I love that show, by the
way. So they are building thisas The Acolyte is a mystery thriller that
will take viewers into a galaxy ofshadowy secrets and emerging dark Side powers in
the final days of the High Republicera. UM. So for those of
(55:54):
you who don't know, the HighRepublic is what they are now calling the
Old Republic time period UM, whichtook place about three hundred and fifty years
before the Phantom Menace. So weare finally getting this Old Republic time setting
that we have desperately been wanting ina live action series. We've been clamoring
for it, yeah and clamoring.So again, this is female CENTRICUM and
(56:19):
with the language that they're using here, you know, between the accold and
emergency, emerging dark Side powers andshadowy secrets and whatnot, I am convinced
this is going to be a nightSisters series. I hope it is.
I hope it is. I hopeit is. I hope it is.
You know, whether whether they're justa part of it or it focuses on
them, it really feels like thiscould be that. Um, they do
(56:44):
touch on the Night Sisters quite abit. It's not like they shy away
from the Night Sisters, whether it'syou know, in the Clone Wars comics,
the video games, you know,all of you know, within the
last decade, we've we've got alot of Night Sisters stuff coming out,
um, which I attribute all thata day Filoni in the Clone Wars.
You can't. I mean absolutely so. I don't see why it wouldn't be
(57:07):
a possibility. It really, thisis what it sounds like to me.
It really does sound that way.Well, if they were following, um,
a female Jedi from the Temples,you know, like from correscoont or
whatever high seat the Jedi have inin the High Republic era, who encounters
(57:30):
and Night Sisters and probably and likefalls to them, maybe or or learns
that there are different ways of accessingthe Force. You know, that's not
necessarily black and white. I wantfemale Sith Twilight. Oh God, this
would be so cool, so cool. Oh yeah, yeah, I am
(57:53):
aside from obi Wan, Um,this is the lie I'm most excited about.
Actually, do you have a topthree for the series? Um?
Yeah, obi Wan and the Acolytesand and Lando. Okay, so mine
(58:15):
would be kind of like, well, actually I probably like it's it's a
toss up between Ahsoka and Lando.So mine would be obi Wan. I
want to put Accolyte in there,but I just don't know enough about it
yet. So but obi Wan,Ahsoka, and bad Batch for me,
Yeah, that makes sense. I'mjust putting all my eggs into the Accolyte.
(58:37):
That's very fair. But also Idon't want to be disappointing because if
it's gonna be very very sad.Yeah, so big fingers crossed for this
one. Yeah, I do.Is there is there a released window for
that one yet? I cannot rememberif they That one is unknown? Okay,
that's what I thought. So thatmeans probably within twenty twenty three to
twenty twenty five, I'm gonna guessmaybe earlier. Yeah, it would be
(59:00):
great, but I see, Umyeah, I cannot wait for that one
either. Acclite looks fantastic. Umsounds fantastic. It's I'm happy that they're
kind of they're portraying things through theeyes of a sithe or rather a dark
dark Jedi user, a dark darkSide user. Um, so we never
(59:25):
really we haven't seen that before.No, and that territory. I'm also
hoping for Asoka that we get somelive action ventures that would be like a
flashback. I mean, well wedon't. We don't know that. Is
she dead? Oh yeah, she'sdead? She dead dead? Do we
(59:45):
know? Is she really dead dead? She? She? She dead dead?
Okay, I couldn't remember. Wellyeah, well sure they sadly killed
her off, but I have theoriesand how they can resurrect her. But
that's just that's well, I mean, that's what the Night Sisters do.
I know. I'm just sn justsay it. Put the bodies and healing
(01:00:07):
waters and bee boop bop here yougo. She's a lie. Get her
live action venturess um gotta be fantastI would I would literally just wet myself
in my chair watching that. Ithink, oh yeah, I'm down.
Yeah. I would be literally textingyou up, like at three o'clock in
the morning, going watch this now, fuck the kids, watch it now.
(01:00:29):
Oh yeah, which reminds me,can we not get these random middle
of the night previews or releases?Got so dumb? Just can you not,
oh, at like four o'clock inthe morning, it drops here,
you mean, yeah, it's justawful. Come on, with the way
we live in a spoiler heavy culturenow because of coverage of everything, it's
(01:00:51):
just it's really unfortunate. And Imean most people can't get up and watch
at the moment it drops. It'sjust that's not how life is. So
it would be nice to have aregular drop time, Thank you very much.
Yeah, that is my note toyou. Disney. All right,
(01:01:13):
well that's it. That's it,that's there's there is a boatload more you
should go and look at. Ifyou have not seen all of all of
the content release information that Disney putout, you know, whether it be
flo there's so much in Marvel.They're doing a hellow series. Hello Princesses.
(01:01:36):
You know, there's lots of lotsof ententy five. There's so many
things happening, you know, gettingmore, um you, princess movies and
new princess series, lots of likewe said, Disney's throwing down the Gauntlin
in this and they did not holdback their punches, so I was very
happy. HBO, Now we arecoming for you. Let's do this.
(01:01:59):
Also, Disney Plus is raising theirsubcription by a dollar, which in the
long run, I'm not complaining.Oh, no, eight dollars. What
am I gonna do? No?Eight? No, eight dollars, Not
eight dollars a dollar? No,eight ninety nine. Right, yes,
it goes from seven nine to eightninety nine. No, sevenenty nine,
No, eight eight to seven entynine. That's it. No, God,
(01:02:20):
damn it. It's seven ninety ninenow, isn't. Oh it is
okay, No, I sure itwas. I don't know by a dollar?
Yeah, whatever, it's not.It's not like it's not what is
it? How much is Netwik's goingup by? I don't know fourteen or
fifteen bucks right now, but they'regoing up to Yeah, it's ridiculous.
(01:02:43):
I can't keep up with the script. No, So I'm gonna be on
