And uh hey after this, Idon't think got one more to go.
So this is this has been along, long, long time coming.
Um, this is uh right offthe bat, We're gonna go around
the horn Rob Williams. Of coursethis isn't a beat by beat for those
not in the know. We justramble on about one of our favorite Star

(04:33):
Wars movies. So Rob Williams,Yes, what did you do for uh
for this? For this Star Warsroom. It wasn't a Christmas release.
It was a May I believe forsolo. Um was I with you,
Steve? No, you won?Okay, then I guess I'm trying.
Thought I thought I was with youor but um, I guess I was
with a Neil, I was withsomebody. Um, I honestly don't remember

(04:54):
much about what I did. Itbecomes that point where it's, you know,
the first Star Wars movies. Iremember when I wasn't at a drive
through at the age at negative three, and it's but now I'm just like
Star movies. Star Wars movies havebeen coming out and out again and again.
You just kind of like, Ijust enjoyed the movie. So I
think I was in Coquitlam. Ithink that's what it was. I think

(05:15):
I was with Neil and just havinga good time with the movie. I
really enjoyed it. So it wasjust, um, yeah, I honestly
don't remember. It's it's weird nowthat I just so basically what you're saying,
Generation x Wing had to how tohow To had a podcast night and
you you failed to invite Steve?Is that, oh Steve? Yeah,

(05:36):
Well now that you've ruined it,I'm just back up, man, I'm
just back up. If someone elsebetter looking and it comes along rouble av
him in an instant, Well that'sthat's gonna be hard to do, sir.
But it's just you call pulling abad Yeah, yeah it was.
I think I saw it with aNeil. But it was just it was

(05:56):
just a matter of enjoying the moviethis time and not a matter of living
the moment of the movie. Ithink that's what it was. I guess
it's become that point in our agewhere unless it's iconic and soul is not
iconic. But I just I justlet's go see an awesome movie. That
was it. I know, Iknow it's not that it's not the best

(06:17):
way to start the round the roundtable here, but I honestly don't remember.
Oh well, um well, let'smove it over to Steve. Steve,
did the five O first have somethinggoing on? And you didn't tell
Rob? No? Actually, youknow what the funny thing is. I
was in Florida, of all places. I was visiting the Wise family and
we were in Florida. I mean, we knew Solo would come out,

(06:39):
and we really want, you know, I want to go and see everything,
so I don't have it spoiled intoday's way of doing that. So
I actually went to watch it withher in Florida in some crazy old school
cinema somewhere, So that was kindof cool. And it was middle of
the day so no one was there. It's one of those old parts of
Florida as old people. So yeah, I was I was blessed to have

(07:00):
a pretty empty cinema. I've managedto get the top where I wanted on
my drink, and I went inthere pretty excited to see that the you
know, the backstory of one ofthe most iconic characters and Star Wars,
and you know, the true herothat we will followed for so many years.
So yeah, I was pretty excitedto go in and see it,
and I just remember sitting through itand that's what this show will be all

(07:21):
about. Yes, exactly. Itwas a it was a new Star Wars
film, so, uh, Mikesand Crawlers, you guys do anything special?
Uh No, we did what wealways do, which is just as
soon as we've seen it, werun home and hop on the mics for
an hour or so and just geekout about it. Um went with It's
a family affair, all the allthe new Star Wars movies with my family

(07:43):
affairs, which was which has beengreat. I went and saw it,
loved it. It's flip flops betweenthat and Rogue one. It's my favorite
Star Wars right now. It's mygo to put me in a good mood
Star Wars movie. So I likeit very much. And you know,
it's a Wookie thing. So yeah, as he takes for those listening,
as he takes a big squeak fromhis Wookie mug, uh, what's that,

(08:07):
little guy? Did you want tosay something? What are you doing
that? That is my I hope, I hope it's a. I hope
it's a hand puppies. I don'tknow what you're doing with that costco had
these I have, I have onewithout the goggles. Yeah. Well these
are my son's uh steampunk goggles thathe didn't want any more, and he

(08:31):
has one bandelier and to give himthe double bandelier. As you see in
solo is my dear departed dog Jake'scollar that says, uh, boy is
as chewy as is that a squeezystomach? One that keeps you company?
You need some batteries? Yes,yikes? So um okay, Ben,

(08:56):
what is what do the young peopledo when this movie came? Well,
one thing I do want to say, very briefly is that I realized my
VPN is active and I, asfar as the Internet is concerned, I
am Canadian. Um, I amconnected to a Canadian server on a VPN.
Fun fact, I just realized.But anyways, am I a citizen?
How apologizing for this? Okay?But anyway, um, I I

(09:24):
love the movie, I will sayobviously. I mean there's a lot of
there are a lot of I thinksocial things that happened in the movie that
we're not handled super well. Um, maybe nothing that's major. But some
touch points, I think that we'rea little touchy for a lot of people.
I know a lot of people thatreally do not like this movie.
UM, and I frankly don't getit. I don't get that. I

(09:46):
think this movie is awesome, andI thought the movie was awesome as soon
as I walked out of the theater. Um, why did you watch it?
Oh? I watched it. Uh. I think it's the AMC show
Place twelve here in Bloomington. Ican't remember. I watched it completely alone.
Let's the address, shoot with theaddress? Um, But yeah,

(10:09):
I watched it alone. And I'mjust kind of obviously I love experiencing Star
Wars movies with other people, butI think my best viewing of us any
Star Wars movie is the first timeI see it alone, because I usually
usually what happens is I will gowith other people for the first time,
and the first time is where alot of my kind of like it's almost
I don't know if you you allcan relate to this. It's like this

(10:33):
like, uh, you're almost toocaught up in the experience, Like there's
it's like it's a new Star Warsmovie and you're too caught up trying to
catch everything on the screen at once. So it's almost always you become you
become you're worried that you're annoying everyonebecause you keep looking at them with the
eyes like sea and you'll sign thishuge great room with watching the same screen
of col exactly exactly. So thesecond time alone or in this case,

(10:58):
the first time alone is usually thebest euting for me. Um. Yeah,
I just went by myself. Ithink my then girlfriend at the time
left town shortly before I left tosee the movie, and I'm just like,
sweet, I'm gonna go to It'sjust gonna ride my bike over to
the theater and want to start Warsmovie. He went for a carton of
milk and never see that only butI won't go into that. No,

(11:22):
no, no no. Some ofsome of our dads went out for cigarettes.
We should be people, so uhI was. I went with my
wife. We try to make ita date date night. I'm this Steve,
I'm the same way as you.I don't have to see it open
and weekend. I could be patient, but because of social media, I

(11:43):
have to see it opening night becauseI'm I don't want it spoiled, so
I have Again, I could ifI didn't have social media or or phone
or television or anything, I couldlet it go. But no. I
booked my tickets for Opening Night,and my wife and I try to go.
I have a lot of people,I'm sure with you guys, you
guys are probably all the Star Warsguy in your group of friends that aren't

(12:07):
Star Wars related, right, Soit's like this is what I equated to.
They're always like, oh, let'sall go see the Star Wars movie
and Rob, yeah, we'll gowith you. I'm like, well,
I don't really want to have tobe explaining everything like I mean, it's
like I remember years ago, Ihad a girlfriend that says, Oh,
I want to start watching football.I want to watch the NFL. Can

(12:28):
I watch the Super Bowl with you? I'm like, that's not the game
I'm gonna go watch with you.I know that's not where I want to
start explaining first and second downs andthis and that. Like, like,
let's watch any other game, butthat game's too you mean, let's sit
at home and watch the Clone Warsand or or any of the movies on
my digital or or my DVD ormy VHS or whatever. I got you
immediately, any format you want.But my first viewing has to be like

(12:54):
my wife. You mean, she'sshe's great, she she's down with it,
and she gets it. She getsit exactly exactly. So that was
my experience with the with Solo.But real quick, let's get the elephant
in the room. Is Ben mentionedA lot of people poo pooed this movie.
I think they changed directors right inthe middle of it and Ron Howard

(13:18):
took over. He did a greatjob, so they had the excuse to
push us back to a Christmas release, but they and everybody would have been
fine with it, but they hadthem. They still went ahead with it
in May, and we just cameoff the heels of The Last Jedi,
which was divisive on social media.I mean, and if you like it

(13:39):
or love it, whatever it is, this was the first movie where the
marketing failed horribly, I would inmy opinion. And they this is where
they said it's gonna it has StarWars on the marquee, so everyone's gonna
go. And because we've just beenoverdosing on Star Wars, it didn't.

(14:00):
It didn't work that time. Thisis this is where where Disney got bit
back with like, yeah, itpeople went because it was Star Wars,
but it didn't it did. Peopledidn't flock to it like they did the
other releases. Daniel, Yeah,I agree. I don't. I don't
think the advertising was that it couldbe for sure, I really don't.
It was. It was pretty lax. Yeah, they just rested on their

(14:22):
laurel saying, hey, it saysStar Wars, so of course it's gonna
be. It was. It wasbasically the Millennium Falcon right right, Yeah,
exactly. It was pushed to bethe it was like the Millennium Falcon
movie. That's all I have everremember seeing. I don't really remember seeing
the characters or Lando and the MillenniumFalcon is. It's really what I got
out of the advertising for it.Yeah, exactly exactly. It was just
it was it was a prequel andprequels that as a has a dirty taste

(14:46):
for some people. I mean,and again I liked the pretty Cools,
Ben Smile grew up on the prequels. So, um, around the horn,
I'm gonna go back around the hornhere, and what are your what
are you for? The was thathave notes or not notes? What are
your favorite parts of this movie.Again, we're not dissecting and scene my
scene, Rob Williams, what areyou thinking? You like? Uh,

(15:07):
I, when you just talked aboutall that, I totally forgot. I
forgot that I know I had todo. And that's the thing. That's
that's the point of sorry, that'sthe thing I've taken out of movies lately.
I you know, I don't carewhat anybody things. So I'm not
on Twitter listening. Oh I wonderif so and so likes, I really
don't care. I forgot Ron Hawardwas directing this until I saw Clint On

(15:28):
and I was like, oh,of course this is I love Clint,
I Clint Cannon now hashtag Clint Cannon. But it's like I was, I
forgot that he directed it. Butthen I and I forgot. I totally
forgot about all that's talk. AndI just looked at how much it made
and yeah, it made like Iguess ninety three million, And it's amazing.
How that's not a success in ourlives anymore. It's not. It's

(15:52):
not a Star Wars success. It'snot stars And I don't care. It's
a great movie. I loved it, and I don't it. In the
long run, it's just doesn't matteranymore. But that being said, I
realize it matters because at the time, that's what they're looking at, that's
what they're examining, that's what they'reOkay, this wasn't enough of a Star
Wars yet, so let's not doa solo too, And everybody's hashtag and

(16:12):
that. So I don't know,I just maybe that's a bad way to
look at it. But it's justlike, I just enjoyed it for what
it was. Man, I don'tcare about the controversy. In fact,
I still a kind of confused onwhat is so controversial about this? All
right? Okay, so favorite again, you're you're gonna, you're gonna you

(16:33):
can get grab all the icing offthis gag because there's a lot of obvious
parts favorite parts about this move,like what is it ticked? A lot
of fan boxes? I know ithas a lot of I'll get to my
my opinions after all. You guyshave your turn, But Rob, what
it was? We all know weliked the movie. I mean, that's
why we're all here. Well,I don't know about that, Steve,

(16:55):
what do you think? I youknow what I think if I look back
at it and we keep talking,like when Rob just said about the fact
that you were done, like withthe expectations, We're going in there with
a fully loaded brain of like thisis going to be everything I like personally

(17:15):
imagined it was going to be,and then everyone ends up leaving because they're
disappointed that he didn't get what theythought they were going to get in their
head. So it's kind of Idon't know, we've talked about this a
lot on our shows that we're donewith that. We just go in there
with an open book, man,and see what it fills with. And
that's why I did this movie.Like Han Solo is and like I said
before, iconic, he is thegorgeous space pirate that goes out there and

(17:38):
makes a lot of Star Wars whatit is. So it's really it was
going to be really good to seethis backstory, and I was really excited
for it. I watched the movie, and I don't know about you guys,
and you can tell me this.Did you notice the change in direction
we talked about the director's change.Did you did you notice a mood swing
in the movie at all of theway, all of a sudd and it

(18:00):
kind of went a little bit differentthan what it started. I never know
it's a single thing. Why wouldyou. I kind of did, and
I don't know why we're abouts thenmaybe, Yeah, I'm not sure.
I remember watching it going this isweird. It's kind of taking a different
direction. I think my favorite bit, and I made a note about this,
and it may sound very weird aswell, but my favorite bit of
the whole movie is when Harn andChewy are on the sky deck of the

(18:23):
stolen ship and they just got outthe shower and that whole scene that sounds
so ridiculous, that huge sex,that whole scene of them hanging out on
that that was my favorite bit ofthe whole movie. And that's weird,
I know, but I got intoit at that point and I really liked

(18:44):
that scene. So that's my takeawayof the movie, that bonding bit,
and that's that's what it was forme, going to be as the body
movie of how these two meet,right, And that was my favorite scene.
I enjoyed everything they did with it. But yeah, we can get
into the bits of pieces that werea little bit frowny, but it's an
enjoyable movie. But Unfortunately for me, it was a forgettable movie. And

(19:06):
Rob has already mentioned the fact youcan't remember where he's seen it. He
can't remember it. I can forgetit as easy as I can watch it.
I remember, I mean not rememberwhere I see it, but I
do remember the movie, and Ienjoyed the movie for what it was.
In fact, I would I wouldargue that the movie took place of the
moment of seeing it, if theevent of seeing it, because I saw
it and I enjoyed it fully.There. I mean, there are cheesy

(19:29):
moments and stuff sometimes this that,and little little nitpicks that will probably talk
about later, But yeah, Imean just I I never noticed what you
saw. And like going back toRob's original question, the reason I wanted
to throw it to you because Iremember, Rob, you said everybody enjoyed
the movie. I remember Steve sayingit wasn't as good as as he was.
But words in my mouth, Rob, Yeah, that's why I'm hesitating

(19:52):
right now, because you've got acoffee in your mouth. But it's just
it wasn't as good as you didn'tenjoy as much as we did, I
think, is what I'm trying tosay. No, I don't think I
did, and I don't know whyit is. And I think the other
reason for that, and tell meif I'm gabbling on them too much,
But I think one of the bigreasons for me is I like Ontario,
Rob was saying, you you indulgeyourself into the movie. You go there

(20:14):
on your own, and like alot of us have said, we go
there on our own. Me wantto take it in and we want to
watch it and enjoy it. Andto me, I have to be in
in the movie. And I thinkthere was too many famous faces in the
movie that kind of brought me,brought me out of it. And I
think that was probably the big thing. You know, I'm a big fan
of all the people that are inthe movie, I really am, but

(20:36):
it's probably because of that I couldn'tdave myself deeply into this story, and
I think that's what brought me outof it, to be honest, Well,
it's funny you say that because Ihaven't seen Solo in quite a few
years now, and when you talkabout so many famous faces, we've we've
just gone through a whole couple seasonsof Mandalorian of and they've been dropping somewhat

(20:56):
famous faces there. We've we've we'vehad sort of a bunch of other movies
since, and I'm kind of gettingused to it now. So seeing people
like um uh trying out loud umwell, Woody Harlson hello, and I
just I have a love for WoodyHarrison as it is. I was Woody
is my nickname in high school forcrying love because they all thought I was

(21:18):
like Woody Boyd from Cheers. Ihope it's for the looks and not for
the brains. But it was justlike when when you see like Vass out
there. These are famous people doingDisney shows now and it's kind of removed
that sort of famous people doing StarWars um stigma, and so I guess
looking back at it now, itdidn't bother me and like it's just a

(21:41):
little I was surprised how much I'llgo back to your favorite moments with some
of the famous moments were actually myleast favorite moments. When I originally saw
it, Leet doing the rise ofthe of the the uprising and screaming and
yelling and being very um just likeFreedom Fighter. I didn't like it at
first. I'm I was like Ifound myself laughing at it now because it

(22:03):
was entertaining. It's an uprising ofdroids and wookies and all these people,
and she's standing in gold freedoms likeWilliam Wallace in Scotland. It was kind
of it made me laugh and itbecame one of my favorite moments. Yeah,
well that's it's and that's what thismovie was. Like again, I'm
gonna throw it to Mike. Um, you get any you have any key

(22:26):
moments in this thing that really againthere's I have. I have a few
sitting right in my tongue there.But what do you think? Yeah?
I well, like Steve sort ofstarted saying it for me, which was
the Haunt and Chewy uh. Tome, it was their movie and we
finally got to see Chewy being moreof an actual person instead of just kind
of in the background. Um.You mentioned the scene up up on that

(22:49):
that ramp there when they're flying andlike Chewy shrugs, like it's just very
natural, very human. Um myinside joke about that scene as we never
did hear his nickname? Right?Yeah? Yeah, well I'm going to
give you. Yeah, so that'sa plot hole as far as I'm concerned.
Um, but uh no, justthat was my favorite part there is

(23:10):
seeing their relationship reading comic books forhowever many years where they could expand on
stuff like that, and actually seeingit on screen when they're they're doing the
train heist and Chewy just about fliesoff the side of the train and Han
grabs them and a little close there, Buddy, It's like, that's that's
what I wanted, was the buddymovie angle, and it was. It
was great for that UM. Asfar as the casting, Like, my

(23:33):
only frame or reference like for someonelike Paul Bettany was him being in the
Avengers movies where he's a quieter goodguy, So I was all up for
him being being a villain in thisUM. And I liked how he was
sort of small scale compared to whatwe've seen in the past. You know,
he runs the crimes into get buthe wasn't you know, Vader level

(23:56):
bad guy that kind of thinks.It was cool to see too, But
um it, it's a lot ofit's it's a lot of fun as Star
Wars should be. It's not asheavy as some Star Wars has been,
which was something I really liked toI just I need these movies to make
me feel good at the end ofthem. And this is the one that

(24:17):
just it was just so much fun. You have you have u you have
lines like fled the intake and sweepthe bilets, like if I ever get
a tattoo that's going on my own. Just such a great line, and
they do the thing and then theylook at each other and there's a knowing
glance and all that, and it'sjust you know, Han in the original

(24:41):
trilogy, definitely the original Star Warsum you know, he's bringing the humor.
So you had two hours of thatsort of um feel through the whole
thing. I loved it. Ijust loved it. I think I think
they did a great job too oftaking um. I felt a lot of
the things, like a lot ofthe aliens you saw, which were some

(25:03):
we saw in Rogue one, butthey're sort of like next level from rubber
Masks in the Cantina, and itwas like they were you know, George
always said he wanted the movies tobe more than they were, and I
feel like with this one, ifGeorge was going to make a new Star
Wars, he would have made somethingclose to this because of things like that.
Um. It was it was itwas great. It was great.
Um, the l three thing Ithink was it felt heavy handed the first

(25:26):
couple of times I saw it withthe whole uh rise up and rebellion and
all that. But um, it'sjust it's it's sure, why not three
pos three pios of pain in theacid is always nervous. She has a
cause perfect you know, end ofthe day, she's adroid, So you
know, let her, let herhave it again. It's yeah, yeah,
well yeah, ben benite you yousaid you like this movie. What

(25:52):
are your what are your favorite partsabout it? With like, did it
take any boxes or what is uhnot well boxes? As someone who I
know you're all going to scoff atme, as someone who tends to get
a little hung up on I don'twant to say hung up on what is
canon and what is not. Thisis like it's something that I it's not

(26:14):
doesn't something that doesn't really affect myenjoyment a ton, but it's something I
think about a lot. In ameticinse I didn't have a ton of like
boxes that needed checked, but Iif we're talking just broad strokes. I
was happy to see all the legendscallbacks and things that were not necessarily like

(26:37):
Han's origin story. You know peoplecall the Oliver twist kind of origin story
on Karelia. It's like, that'snot exactly the way it was in Legends,
but it was pretty close close enoughthat I'm like, oh, clearly
inspired by I like that, andthat there's a lot of things like there
are you know, Lando drops referencesto the three old el Neil Smith Lando

(27:00):
Calarizian Adventures books. Um. Whenit just had various different points, um.
But overall, I think the thingthis movie does the most strongly for
me, not the most strongly,but really up there is the action just
as a whole. The Kessel Run. It's one of my favorite things in
Star Wars. I think it's amazing, And I don't understand people who actively
like dislike it. If it's notyour thing, it's not your thing.

(27:22):
But I just don't, you know, because to me, it's just it's
just non stop. There are somany cool things happening in it. Well,
we all know we wanted to seethe Kessel Run. Well, you
know, this movie that was abox I had to tick and and I
would love to have somebody explain tome, how could you do that better?
Like with with the stakes. Youmean, like like they gave it,
they made it difficult, they madethey made it ribboning, they made

(27:44):
it they high action, and theyraise the stakes so high and everything down
to they're falling into the gravity.Well and then they here's the special fix
and back it hits, the hits, the injects the stuff there and it's
like oh and then it doesn't workand it gives you that heart meat and
then boom their off like it justright, Yeah, that was that was

(28:07):
good, that the full back endof the engines failing because it was too
much. And then again it's thefalcon. Of course it's gonna do that,
like yeah, well then it alsotakes that one line, right,
oh I made the Kessler running lessthan twelve. And it's it's like,
well, cool, like you rana race in high school, Good for
you, pal, you wont youwon gold? But no, no,
it's how he how he ran thek Well, they said nobody can do

(28:30):
it for number twenty, so wegot back cannonized. And then and then
of course Chewey saying well, he'slike, well no, I round it
down. So everyone's like, ohno, you're round it down. But
so yeah, I bet I gottaagree with you. That was a few
things right before that scene when whenKira gives up her copilot seat the Jewey

(28:52):
and then of course the John Williamsscore kicks in Dan, it's just oh,
go on, like it just that'sit, that's what we want.
Um. I love how they didthe uh when they're playing playing cars and
they're gambling and we think this iswhere Hans gonna win the Falcon and it
gives us that little no, hedoesn't like. So it just it.

(29:15):
If you know Star Wars and you'rewaiting for this movie and you're thinking,
oh, I'm gonna see the Gustolerun Fawns gonna Hans gonna win the Fawns.
Han is gonna win. Hey heythey both they both hit the the
jukebox or the or the or theconsole. Oh yeah, what a great

(29:38):
edition. Well, like I said, Harrison, Harrison, it's the hits
the console when it doesn't work andit likes that's awesome. Hey uh yeah,
so uh I love the misdirection.Um, that's great. I love
how hand shot first at the endof the movie he shot back at like,

(30:03):
that's fantastic. I loved how TheFalcon looked right off the showroom floor
like that was. That was becausewe're so used to seeing it, like
the way George Lucas said, no, I don't want it clean, I
want it lived in. That's toomany space movies has everybody in silver jumpsuits
and everything's polished. It's like,no, this is this is a smugglership.

(30:27):
I love how it looked. Itbreathes, it breathes his character,
the old you know, seeing thenew one, the Lando one, and
then knowing the hand one that youknow, that's what the hand one's gonna
look like, because he fixes things, but he doesn't quite fix them right,
Like he's a tape side. Hedoesn't solder his wires. He twists
them and tapes them, you know. And that's the beauty of the Falcon

(30:49):
is it's been hannonized man massively.And then to see that journey was so
enjoyable totally. And I think like, for example, an Empire strikes back
right when when they're on an echobass and it's that one goes there,
that one goes there, you're takingall this apart. It's chew. He's
not doing it wrong, chew.He's like, look fix this damn thing.

(31:10):
But before he and Hans like freakingchewing gum and baling wire and let's
get Yeah, we'll fix it anothertime because he's not right, he's not
responsible enough. It's to get tothe next things. Like Ben, you
can probably understand. I remember doinga gig and I blew a fuse on
a guitar amp and I had towrap it and cigarette tinfoil and put it
in and doing and just to getme through the gig and doing that,

(31:33):
it's kind of like having unprotected sex. I'm not to get graphic, but
because you don't know, it's likeit blew for a reason. But I
got another set to get through.And that's how I think. And of
course did I ever address the problemthough, I still got an amp with
a cigarette tinfoil I've smoked in likeso I understand. Like it's just one

(31:56):
of those things where it's like,yeah, it gets you through the moment.
Is it right? No? Isit wrong? Oh yeah, it's
very wrong, but it's it's justit's off on the fly. I love
how they do that. As faras the casting went, Paul Benny,
Yeah, it took me out abit. The um by Harrison Wody Harrelson

(32:19):
took me out too, because Ijust again, I'm you know, I'm
I'm old. I'm that's what youknow. I think you're right, Rob,
I think you're right. I thinkit's the age you are of seeing
these seeing these characters in multiple differentthings. Yeah, now they're in this
and and again it's not a badthing, but there was too much of
it for me. And I thinkyou're right. I think if you're of

(32:40):
a certain age where you've seen prettymuch all of the cast, right,
um, you've seen it other thingsand then not Star Wars. Yeah,
And to me, that's what madeStar Wars Star Wars is we saw people
we hadn't seen before, unknowns,if you like, And that's what made
Star Wars so cool. And andyeah, I just think it. Yeah,
you're right. So why didn't weget hung up when we saw Harrison

(33:02):
Ford playing Indiana Jones and when hewas solo. It's not like, oh,
I can't get into this he's solobecause it's I don't know, I
don't know, Yeah, don't.It's the age thing. It's the age
thing. Rob. It's like,now, when we if we see Harrison
Ford do anything he is hand Solo, right. I think it's an expectation
thing. It's it's it's our expectationswe bring in. I mean, Ben

(33:23):
was just talking about how he's comparingthe stories of past with the story of
now. I remember in our lastshow we were talking Neil was and a
lot of people were saying about thehistory of the Bad Batch and Order sixty
six was not like the one inthe comic book, and there's this expectation
things and rules that are laid outand and going back to what Jamie says,

(33:45):
you gotta leave your expectations at thedoor. And I was glad I
did the second time around here becauseit was just like I was just watching
movie. And my expectations have changedover the last few years because of how
Disney Plus has been making these newStar Wars shows and Marvel shows like many
movies, and I think Solo couldhave worked better as a series than it

(34:08):
would have a movie if in hindsight. Now that's a that's a tricky one
though, because I think I thinkthat's the culture we're in now, is
that movies don't satisfy us because thelength of time we have and we're now
so used to seeing a twelve orten episode series come out on on one
of these other streaming channels, andI think we're yeah, I think that's

(34:30):
just the way we're being pushed isto say, yeah, it wasn't quite
enough. It had been better asa series, because we want more and
you can't get that in two hours. You know, I would have loved
to have been in the writing roomwhen they when they mentioned when they when
they plugged in um shoot the droidis um into the Balcon three all three,
Yeah, when they were sorry,my apologies crebody guys, I'll flog

(34:53):
myself later, new host. Yes, So when they when they plag an
Elsby and and of course it goesback to when they plugged in three Peole
into the Talk to the Falcon andhe's like, oh, yeah, that's
a peculiar personality. And and thenthey actually gave l three such personalities.

(35:13):
Phoebe Wall the Bridge, like justif you saw the her in her in
her mo cap suit where she's swingingher hips and like she really feminizes straight.
It was just awesome, Like shereally laid on this personality and just
even sitting in the talking with Kirain the Falcon she puts her arm up
on the rest like it just andI wonder if it was, yeah,

(35:37):
it was if somebody just said,oh, you know what we should do,
because if it was because she didthis great performance with such personality,
and then I would I would loveto know how that got connected or somebody
just wrote that was she directed tobe that way or was she just that
way? And they're like, youknow what, this works, We're gonna
change it a little, but ohyeah, we didn't want to be a

(35:59):
great idea if part of the fixis plugging her into the falcon. And
then of course because she's she's sucha dynamic actor and given this droid such
personality, it's just it's perfect,like it it's it's really great, like
and I know a lot of peopleI rolled, but for me it was
like, oh, like I heardthree people say that years and years and

(36:20):
years ago, like yeah, Engleso well. I remember listening to Ben's
show when Soul came out and thefrustration with some on some side. Yes,
I do listen to your show.It was episode cmqmpt III, And
I'm thinking mostly because that episode wasI that episode had a lot of negativity

(36:42):
in it and I would love to. I mean we did. We went
back and basically redid a solo episode. Well it was interesting because you guys
were talking about what you're reading andone of the things that came up with
the Social Justice Warriors, and itwas just like, yeah, you know
what, that's kind of like that, but it was kind of like a
parody of it in a way butalso kind of a realistic It was just

(37:02):
had Yeah. I kind of enjoyedit. Now looking back, I mean,
there's so much this movie. Inhindsight, I realized what and Max
said this, We're talking about Chewyand his mobility. He's moving around like
we've always wanted him to, Likehe's kicking button and swinging han around stuff.
That was so cool. And it'sjust like I have notes by the

(37:23):
way, Steve, it was theselittle, these little touches of Star Wars
that we remember and kind of changingthe history that we used to know.
I mean, from from the littleSabak tables to that that handshake that they
do at the end that mimics thehandshake that they do in Cloud City.

(37:44):
It was just all these level littlethings. But at the same time,
um, the ones, the littlenitpick that I had with this was they
didn't reuse enough of the aliens.Some of this there was a great alien
scene at the Sabak tables with thosebig, giant, hulking Mike Wazowski's or
the guy with six eyes, butI'm thinking, where's the Grito? We

(38:05):
do seem later in emphas nest sortof thing, and that's where that's cool.
Callbacks to those type of old schoolcharacters. Rob rob rees can't be
in every movie, let's no,but sorry. It was just like some
other people have got more eyes thanRais. Yes, yes, I know,
like the Mob or that character inthe Mob. But it was just
like the reusing of traditional characters wassomething that I've wanted to use more and

(38:29):
doesn't have to be a freaking grantI've just said because Ben's here, But
it's just like using the Gritos andthe do Rosses and all those type of
characters, which they kind of didwith emphas Nest. But I like that
old school feel as well, andso but that was my hang up,
and so once I got over that, I was just like, you know
what, I kin have enjoyed theguy in the space suit and you can

(38:50):
see him breathing a little bit andthe glass kind of fogging up as it's
happening. And six Eyes was kindof funny with that one thing, just
kind of looking to the side.So I love action. He's like,
hey, eyes on your own cardsand you cut it, laugh about it,
and at the end he drops,now I've seen you, Yes,
exactlyt Um, all right, Igonna move it. Ben, I gotta

(39:12):
ask you. You're you grew upon the prequels. You didn't get a
chance to go to the drive inin nineteen seventy seven with your parents.
No, I didn't. I didn't, Okay, drink um so so um.
The Darth Maul reveal thoughts that wasThat was just I unabashardly love it.
I think it was phenomenal. Ithink it was a great They got

(39:35):
Ray Park to come back and doit. They had same went war through
the voice. Um, I knowthere. You know again, they're just
I'm gonna stop saying it because Ikeep bringing up a lot of people didn't
like it, but Rob is right. What other people say just doesn't matter.
Um but me, Rob, Yeah, that's a rare moment. Sorry,
I assume every time I said somethingright, steveson shock, I think
you just no, no, It'slike, I just I gotta stop qualifying

(39:58):
everything I'm saying, because it's justlike it doesn't better. This is a
safe place, you know that,Yes, yes, so, but um
oh, it just felt like itsymbolized such a big thing too, because
you know, like, as we'vekind of learned recently with comics, um
and into novels, into TV,into movies, these universes those media are

(40:21):
still separate from one another, andthey you know, like broad strokes might
be the same, but they're gonnabe Stuff's gonna change if it moves at
all between media. Seeing mall comeback with no you know, obviously for
people who have watched the shows,he's been back forever, but then you
see it in the movie and it'slike suddenly, it's like, oh,

(40:42):
this is real. People who onlyever watch the movies are gonna be like
he died, he was chopped ata half exactly now, and I can
see. I mean, I justthink that was a very big risk for
them to take, and I wasthrilled to see them do it, because
it not that the shows he didhave any legitimacy added to them, but

(41:04):
it felt like it's like, oh, they do they do care. So
it was nice to see all thislegend stuff come into this movie. But
then also it's like, oh,you're pulling in from Clone Wars and you've
kind of gone back and kind ofnot enriched Clone Wars, but like,
you know, at what we hadseen from Mollot Clone Wars in Clone Wars
at the time, we suddenly hadthis other point in time where it's like

(41:28):
there were so many other stories youcould tell. It's like, oh,
he is the you know, heis the leader of Crimson Dawn. What
is he doing there? Like whatwhat are those stories? Um? Also,
it was just freaking cool. Itwas awesome. It was just so
cool to see him go. Iwas just in the theater. I was
like no, out loud, likethere's no way, it's not him.

(41:49):
There's no way. Yeah. Iwent from it's the Emperor. No,
well let's said no, but comecomplete. That's a good that's a good
one though, because I mean I'mpretty good at math. But when then
when that happened, I instantly,like you were saying, I was like
Clone Wars rebels, hang on aminute, I know he spoke hang on,

(42:09):
So when did this and this wholething was going around in my head
then of like where are we inthe timeline? And I was trying to
mathematically work out where we are?Who else would have been alive? Who
can we see in a solo too? Now? You know? Um?
Yeah, it was It was cool. It was cool, and I'm glad
they bought rape Heart back. Andshame on everyone who gave him a hard

(42:30):
time about it. It has tobe said, because those same people that
do that would have complained right royallyif they didn't bring him back. You
know what I'm saying, There wouldhave been all of this. Why didn't
they use the original guy who playedhim? Why have we got this new
guy? So you can't please thesepeople? And shame on them for giving
him a hard time about it?Who else is going to be rape Who
else is going to be dath More? Right? Come on, yeah,

(42:52):
Mike, Mike, what were youthe internet side of start? What were
you saying there about when you welland like that's the that's the internet side
of Star Wars that I just likejust let it go, just yuck um.
And you started at the start ofthe show about you know, the

(43:14):
issues with new writers and the newdirector and all that kind of stuff,
and that I don't pay attention to, probably because of Solo. I don't
pay attention to any of that goingforward because it read read the JW.
Rindler books about the original trilogy.You want to know what movies never should

(43:34):
have made it to screen Star Warslike they're just just a cluster bleep of
mistakes and over budget and the factthat they got made as a miracle.
So I I don't put I don't. I kind of know Ron Howard as
a director. I know he's thatvoice on that one funny show. Um,
I had no idea, who Lordmillerwer you know, just just give

(43:55):
me, give me the next StarWars. The idea that George always had
was, well, I did mystory and I'm gonna let my friends come
in and they can do what theywant with it. And that's how at
least the wrong went in Solo.That's what I love about them is it's
it's somebody else's take and it doesn'tmatter to me what went on going up
to it. These aren't family members. This is something I pay for and

(44:20):
consume. So I go in thetheater, what's on the screen is on
the screen, you know, whetherit's the hug from the Force awakens that
Chewy and Leia never had right atthe end that JJ apologized for it.
No, they didn't hug. Itwasn't in the movie. You know,
say what you want afterwards. It'swhat's on screen. And as far as
the writers and the tones and didthis and that go? I what's on

(44:40):
the screens? Do you remember peoplegetting upset because Kira was in this and
it was like Han had a loveaffair. I had had a love before
Leia and the little dice thing andgive it to Lara that was from Kia.
It was all that weird stuff.It was just like is anyby did
you guys all marry your high schoolsweetheart? I don't really don't get this,

(45:00):
Like there you guilty. Sorry itwasn't. But it's just like it's
the assumption. No, but it'strue. One person and you're done.
That's that's all you get. Here'sall you get. It's like Darth Maul
is cool, but I'm upset youyou put them in. Those dice are

(45:21):
cool, but don't put them inyou know, Yeah, it's we put
we are you gonna put the dicein. No, we're not gonna put
the diceing. You should put thedice. Okay, we put the dice.
You shouldn't have put the dice in. And the thing I love about
little things like that is I getto explain to my wife and my daughter,
what's the what's the deal with thedice? And I'm like, here's

(45:42):
the big deal about the dice,And it's right. It's a it's six
frames in the original Star Wars,and we've taken it and made it our
own, and it hads this wholeextra level to it now when you watch
and you hope there's the damn diceand and they and they dropped it.
It was very symbolic in the moviewe saw like four months prior, like,
sure, right, he wase thing, It's all right. I think

(46:04):
that's I think that's what I loveso much about this movie is the stakes
aren't as high. I don't know, as an audience or whatever. You
know, Han and Chewi, you'regonna come out at the end of this.
You know, they're probably gonna endup with the Falcon unless it's a
giant cliffhanger where they right, weget solo too. You knew what was
going in, Like Han Solo,you knew you were going to get just

(46:27):
this awesome, fun thrill ride.And and I really think they did it.
Um even even the stuff with enphisNess, which like, on the
one hand, you know, thiswasn't a movie about the rebellion or the
you know it was it was aboutIt was about Han and Chewy, and
having her in it gave it alittle bit of weight that we got to
see this guy play off of whichwas basically just well, okay, we'll

(46:52):
get him out of this little jam, but I'm not joining your cause.
That's not what I think. Italso helped it established Hound Solo as the
good She meant it right, shesays, I know you, you're the
great guy. And you also nowsee him do the right thing, and
I think that's what right. Youkind of need to see in his personality
to understand who he is in theoriginal movies, like he's yeah, yeah,

(47:13):
he pulled the gun on Grido,but he's not yeah, he's a
smuggler. He's trying to get money. But it takes you back to Hondo,
right, It's like it's like theHondo character, right, So it's
mentioned how awesome. Aaron Kellyman washis emphas nest, Oh my god,
and then seeing her in the WinterSoldier, damn it, she's awesome.
And I'm in a different timeline,Rob, you know what I mean.

(47:37):
I didn't say that right, butit kind of is. I guess you're
kind of right. She wasn't kindof a rebellion a rebel, she was
kind of fighting against the power.So yeah, I guess I see we're
saying. Okay, so Rob,well we got you on the mic.
Final thoughts on solo, um,the fact that again Clint Howard as rale

(47:58):
Kili is highlight of my life.I remember it before this when we found
out Ron Howard was a print wasthe director. I was like, please
please please put Clinton Howard in there. Of course, and the name raala
Quili sound like mala Chili is justlike it's geekasm everywhere. So it's just
I'm really excited. But I lovethis. I don't know if we can

(48:19):
do a solo too. I don'tknow how you do that this kind of
I think it might be good justas a one off, but if whatever,
I really enjoyed this movie a lotof fun. It was. It
was action packed had the nerd Eastereggs for me, love it, Steve,
pretty much the same thing. Ithink if we did a solo too,
you'd be like having a really nicecup of coffee and then saving a

(48:42):
bit at the end and trying todrink it the next day with a hot
water on top of it. Itjust wouldn't be good. I think that's
a coffee going for you, Steve. I think if we if we were
to do if we would we knowwe got Lando coming. If we were
to do inserts of solo, ifwe're to use some of the characters and
that, I'd be happy with that. I think that'd be great. There's
still more so many stories that couldbe told with his character. The movie

(49:02):
with the movies, a good movie, Like we always say, did you
go there? Did you enjoy it? Did you laugh? Did you cry?
Did you have excitement? Yes,it's a good movie. I don't
own it, So I think theonly way I can sum up is I
don't own it. But I thinkwe got to give a little shout out
to the handing over the d Lforty four. I like the way it
happened. There was no mention ofit was a focus but a soft focus
on the fact this is his weapon. This is an iconic weapon, man,

(49:27):
and they handled it pretty well.He dismantles his rifle and hands over
the DL forty four and they didn'tfocus and stick on it, and there
was no fanfare. I like theway the forty four got into the hands
of Handseller. So that's how I'llend real real quick. To add to
that, he is cool to seea Handsel that's so naive and young but
and and try to act like abadass even in his older age. But

(49:49):
he's so nostalgic and clings onto theold stuff. And I kind of like
that how they built that character.Yeah, absolutely, Mike, Final Thoughts,
Final Thoughts, do another hour onWitty. I really liked Whitty Story.
Toy Story retrospective is coming up thereon a different feed. There's a
snake in my boot, Uh,Steve, what you're saying about the about

(50:12):
Hans Bloster. Right before he handsit over, he gives it a kiss,
throws it over to Hans. Thatkind of thing. I liked their
relationship, even though he was thebad guy. I think if if they
could have had the plan go anotherway, they'd have been that makings of
a great team that he mentioned,so um Like, like I said at
the start, it's currently my goto put in a good mood movie.
Um, it's it's fun, it'sexciting, all the aliens. Where's my

(50:36):
therm scissor punch action figure? That'smy only you know what? My only
disappointment in Solo is we didn't getall the all the toys that I thought
they could have you collected. Icouldn't tell um a few things right about
let's see three third shelf down.I have a spare Power of the Force
two Cantina pop upset that's someday gonnabe my solo fantastic Cantina. Final thoughts

(51:02):
on Solo, UM, I kindof agree. I don't think solo too
is a necessity. Um. Butone interesting thing that I remember Ash saying
whenever we were doing our solo episodeoriginally, and Ash kind of meant it
as a dig, but I seeit as a positive is that there is
so much in Solo that is potential. Ash felt that there were things in
Solo that weren't fleshed out, um, which I don't completely agree with,

(51:25):
but I think the potential is reallythere. So it's like Cloud Riders,
um Lando Kiro with Crimson down.There are all these other stories that even
if Solo two doesn't happen, wecould see Alden show up as Han in
these stories and so like kind ofa very far reaching idea of Solo two

(51:46):
I think should happen the movie itself, not at whatever, but I would
love to see the stories of thesecharacters that showed up in this movie.
Continued, Um but no, Iagree. It's it's a fun ride,
It's it's another It's it's kind ofmy go to put me in a good
mood if I don't necessarily feel likeI need to, you know, feel

(52:07):
something, which I do. Butit's not like a New Hope, which
of course is dripping with nostalgia andjust all all the trappings that come with
a New Hope. Um but no, I think it's a phenomenal movie.
And I wish I'm not the typeto be like, oh, if you
didn't like a movie, go backand watch it again, because if you
didn't like it, why I watchedit a second time. But this is

(52:29):
a movie I wish more people willgive a second chance, because I think
it deserves it. I think it'sgreat. Yep, one hundred percent.
I agree with you. This Forme too, I liked it. Um
this weekend I'm like, oh,I better rewatch this, And I'm like,
but I wasn't in that. Youknow, you got to be in
a mood. I was more ofan Empire mood this weekend. But I
was like, oh, okay,well I gotta watch you all right,
Yeah exactly, I gotta watch solo. But then once it got going,

(52:51):
I'm like, oh, why don'tI watch this more? Like so,
yeah, it's I loved it.I hope whoever that guy was that did
the voice there who said the wookie, Um, I hope. But John
Favreau, I hope he does morein Star Wars. I think he has
a real future in the in thefranchise. He's gotta get Yeah. I
think I hope we see more ofhim there or even just get involved creatively

(53:14):
somehow, because I really love That's. Actually my biggest gripe is how John
Favres is wookie whokie woe wookie.I got a whookie get into it?
Yeah? Yeah, for me,it was a fun ride. Um,
it ended it buttoned everything up withh they could make a second one.
There was enough dangling threads where theycould have. But it's good enough on

(53:36):
its own, you know. It'snot like, oh, we're never gonna
see how this movie this, thisis supposed to be another trilogy. You
it was just it was great.I liked it. It's a it's a
good fun Star Wars movie. Ithink again, the marketing they really try
to will slap Star Wars on it, and everbody's gonna go see it.
It's this is the first time Disneyhad to pull back and unfortunately, I

(53:59):
think cost us a few more moviesbecause of for sure, you know,
and but hey, I don't runDisney, nor could I. I can
