the blurred podcast pile 00:56 as it were we're also on Facebook @ BL 00:59 er DUP instagram @ BL e rd . u p and 01:04 twitter @ BL ER d you we're starting to 01:08 pick up more attention on twitter and I 01:09 even have a troll now no interesting 01:12 haters mean you're doing some right I 01:14 guess we're also on blur calm a lovely 01:19 site full of nerdy content from a black 01:21 cultural lens I actually published an 01:24 article there yesterday titled Star Wars 01:27 failed its POC characters it's also on 01:31 medium if that's your preferred way to 01:33 read it's been pretty well received so 01:35 far and we'll explore a bit of that 01:37 content in our spoiler review look we'll 01:40 check it out okay let's get to it so 01:44 we're gonna first give a very brief 01:46 summary of our overall thoughts because 01:48 everyone's seen this by now well 01:51 everybody except for the people we know 01:52 in Korea but sure okay yeah most of them 01:54 yeah most of them okay yeah we will do 01:57 that yeah let's start with the good you 02:01 go first 02:02 I don't know that I could even really 02:04 break this down into good bad ok 02:05 whatever for me it was fine it wasn't it 02:08 wasn't good it wasn't bad I really okay 02:11 so here's the thing 02:13 I feel like Star Wars critiques are the 02:15 best and worst thing about the nerd 02:17 community because it's gots the 02:19 mythology and the ranking of Star Wars 02:22 in everybody's mind is so big that 02:24 everybody does these really meticulous 02:26 critiques and we were never able as a 02:28 community to step away and say it was 02:29 okay it doesn't really but it doesn't 02:31 really deserve a lot of these really 02:33 deep drawn critiques so I have I tend to 02:36 kind of step away from Star Wars 02:38 critiques so this is actually really 02:41 gonna be a challenging podcast for me 02:42 because 90% of it I'm just like it was 02:45 fine it was fine that was how I felt 02:47 watching the movie okay it wasn't as 02:49 awful as I thought it would be listening 02:51 to you talk about it but it wasn't good 02:54 either 02:54 it was just what it was it was mediocre 02:57 it was entirely mediocre there so the 03:02 good I don't know okay it's fine it's 03:06 fine for me i think the good as we 03:08 expect from a Star Wars movie the 03:10 visuals and sound are great thus if 03:13 Planet X goal is especially striking ya 03:21 know you're not keep going 03:22 I think the acting particularly Daisy 03:25 Ridley and Adam driver were good like no 03:28 one is bad in this movie but the film 03:30 really rest on their shoulders mmm true 03:32 like no matter though the plot choices 03:34 that we weren't satisfied with mean they 03:37 did their best to sell it right the 03:38 actors do do a good job with what 03:40 they've got yeah you can certainly see 03:42 the conflict on their faces there right 03:44 there no spoilers about this space opera 03:46 you know the good guys are going to win 03:48 of course they're gonna beat Thanos you 03:49 know I'm saying but the ending with the 03:51 friends reuniting to embrace each other 03:53 they got to me a little bit yeah I mean 03:55 I will say this is the first of the new 03:58 trilogy that I felt like there were 04:00 actually relationships between the 04:01 character with one glaring exception 04:03 which I'm sure we'll get to the spoilers 04:04 I felt if they're actually more 04:07 believable relationships with the 04:08 characters I think I might have said on 04:09 a previous show when we were talking 04:11 about the Star Wars trailer that one of 04:13 the problems with the characters in the 04:15 new trilogy is that you don't like in 04:18 the in the first tril of the original 04:20 trilogy and the prequels you do feel 04:23 like when they do those big time skips 04:25 in between movies that there's been 04:26 stuff happening 04:27 in the interim that has changed the 04:28 relationships between the characters but 04:30 you didn't really get that between these 04:32 two most recent movies and then with 04:34 this one you finally get that sense like 04:36 you're like okay their friendship has 04:38 changed their relationships have changed 04:39 and that's okay 04:40 I mean but even with the original 04:43 trilogy this had more time together 04:45 right you are chilling and the Falcon 04:49 with obi-wan learning about the force 04:51 right as well as themselves there's so 04:53 much of that when han and Leia get 04:56 trapped in that that monster as they 04:58 were escaping the Empire and they had 05:00 there's a lot more of them and I really 05:03 felt hmm in his new trilogy yeah I to me 05:08 I really didn't feel connection there's 05:10 a little more in this movie but I redid 05:12 until that connection throughout this 05:13 this trilogy this movie but just just on 05:15 the strength of their acting and that 05:17 embrace yeah was enough mmm-hmm that's 05:22 all the good I have okay like I said it 05:25 was fine like I mean I it was Pikachu 05:29 detective Pikachu of Star Wars movies it 05:31 wasn't awful but I mean there's nothing 05:34 here that was really like I said with 05:37 one glaring exception which I'm sure 05:39 we'll get to in the spoilers there was 05:40 just nothing there to really make me 05:43 want to delve like delve deeply into it 05:45 I mean there are much better Star Wars 05:46 properties to really think deeply and 05:49 analyze this was not a high on the list 05:51 it was just very middle-of-the-road sure 05:54 I'm gonna get to the battle quick this 05:57 movie felt to me extremely rushed and 06:00 disjointed from the last Jedi you've 06:03 probably already heard this a lot but 06:05 there were a number of plants that 06:06 deserved more time there were events 06:08 that happened that feel unearned and 06:10 there's little emotional payoff 06:12 throughout like half of this movie is 06:15 exposition mmm-hmm this movie was 06:17 co-written by Chris Terrio who wrote 06:22 Batman vs Superman Man of Steel and 06:26 Justice League they were all bad to 06:29 mediocre films yeah yeah I agree with 06:35 with you most of the way I think Man of 06:37 Steel is better than people give it 06:38 actually watched it again the other 06:39 night I think it's not bad it's better 06:40 written than people give it credit for 06:42 it did what tanked mana steel actually I 06:44 think of some of the performances and 06:45 the visual look of it in a lot of ways 06:47 it made it way too dark for no reason 06:49 but if you if that had been in the hand 06:50 of a different director and maybe with 06:52 some different actors I think it would 06:53 have been different but even so that 06:56 just brings up the point that I'm 06:57 constantly making it must be so great to 07:00 be a C student and just do this well and 07:02 get like these kinds of jobs right I 07:05 really wish that we well I mean we're 07:07 getting there slowly but you know I 07:09 really wish that we had the ability to 07:11 be that mediocre and still do 07:13 billion-dollar blockbusters like this I 07:15 mean come on true who looked at him and 07:17 said and to be fair well there's a lot 07:20 going into this but ultimately I think 07:22 what I think your point about it being 07:24 rushed is very true but I also feel like 07:26 in this movie just watching it it was 07:27 very clear that JJ Abrams was very much 07:30 like the last Jedi was not the middle of 07:32 the trilogy you were looking for like he 07:34 was kind of hand waving it for us he 07:36 wasn't really trying to he really wasn't 07:38 paying any attention to anything that 07:39 happened in that movie I got a better 07:41 metaphor and I made it mean about it you 07:42 saw it I made a mean with Dave 07:46 Chappelle's Rick James on Charlie 07:47 Murphy's couch and Rick James as JJ 07:50 Abrams in the last night's the couch and 07:51 he's just like yo movie nigga 07:56 because the last Jedi because JJ Abrams 07:58 did the first one right I mean he did 08:00 the last one for whatever reason he 08:01 didn't do the middle one hmm and because 08:03 he didn't I think he probably feels some 08:06 type of way about it when it's trying to 08:08 bring his his vision back did he go do 08:11 that Star Trek movies like the third 08:15 right yeah so he did and I don't know 08:18 the whole story behind that but it was 08:20 clearly a cadet I he's trying to kind of 08:25 retro actively push it out of the 08:27 universe because it oh there's a lot of 08:30 ways which I'm sure we'll get to in 08:32 which the last Jedi could not have 08:34 existed and this movie still could have 08:35 happened they should have added another 08:37 inch to the text at the beginning and 08:38 just pretended the last Jedi didn't 08:40 exist I felt like that's what he was 08:41 doing with this movie yeah and that's 08:44 the problem which was when my friends 08:47 and fan of the show Nick Hart said it 08:50 best when he he messaged me he said 08:51 there's there was no road map 08:54 on how to develop these stories 08:56 absolutely rudderless no Kevin Feige no 08:59 Dave Filoni these movies continue to 09:03 remind me why the Clone Wars and rebels 09:05 are so superior because they take their 09:07 time to tell their stories and establish 09:10 characters well they clearly have a 09:13 story in mind I mean I've only watched a 09:15 little bit of the Star Wars shows but 09:17 you can tell that there's an you're 09:19 right he's he's right there's no 09:21 direction there's no overarching story 09:23 there's no end game in mind for these 09:25 and there never was so you can't have 09:28 nine movies and not know what the 09:29 overarching story and theme is cuz they 09:32 clearly didn't yeah my last little 09:37 quibble before we get to spoilers is I 09:38 found the fights less imaginative or 09:41 impressive than other movies Adam driver 09:45 and Daisy Ridley don't seem to be very 09:47 physical actors compared to Hayden 09:49 Christensen or you McGregor and Ray Park 09:52 very true 09:53 at least the directors aren't giving 09:54 them much to do the fight on the ruins 09:56 of a Death Star that's in the trailer 09:58 that's blown that surrounded by water 09:59 was probably the best it had the most 10:03 emotional stakes for me dating fight was 10:06 in your words fine 10:08 yeah but too brief yeah Adam driver did 10:12 better than I thought he would yeah 10:15 Daisy Ridley was kind of phoning it in 10:17 like they it's a good thing for her that 10:20 we have really good effects I think but 10:23 you do see a lot there's a lot of fights 10:26 in this where I'm like really come on 10:29 now this isn't that doesn't work like 10:31 you get like a really big person 10:32 fighting a really small person or like 10:36 in just ways that don't make physical 10:38 sense and it's like an only hand wave 10:40 things way with the force so much a lot 10:43 of hand waving yeah there were a lot of 10:45 just fight scenes that didn't that were 10:46 that didn't seem visually plausible but 10:48 they were really doing their best to 10:49 sell it to you I think whoever did the 10:52 fight choreography and that particular 10:53 part of the filmmaking kind of dropped 10:57 the ball because they were trying to be 10:59 magic with it yeah well they are magic 11:03 right yeah they are but you know we'll 11:04 get to even magic has rules okay 11:07 let me just close down before we get to 11:08 this as for this here so for me I know 11:12 you say he was fine but for me as 11:14 someone who has going to put this stuff 11:17 whose you know read the books and bought 11:20 games and watched all the shows this is 11:23 to me a sad into in this trilogy and a 11:27 over 40 year old story it solidified to 11:29 me that these new movies are are 11:35 collectively worse than the prequels in 11:37 terms of vision like I have more respect 11:40 for the prequels now because of this 11:45 movie having so many cooks in the 11:47 kitchen really hurt where this franchise 11:48 could have gone some of the choices in 11:50 this movie made some of the most 11:52 important scenes implied choices in 11:53 previous films almost irrelevant it also 11:57 makes choices and its own movie 11:58 irrelevant people cheered when JJ Abrams 12:01 returned but seeing what Ryan Johnson 12:04 set up in the last I I I kind of 12:07 wish he would have stayed and finished 12:08 what he started 12:09 I don't last Jedi was awful but I mean I 12:12 think that they should have respected 12:14 what he did more and like actually 12:15 created a through story that worked with 12:17 what he did in the second movie yeah I 12:20 still think last today has problems well 12:22 just like that because I have no respect 12:24 for it 12:25 compared to this movie hmm okay I think 12:29 yeah I get the respect thing but still 12:31 just as far as pure watch ability I 12:33 think this movie was much more which is 12:36 terrible to say cuz movie was borderline 12:38 unwatchable I was bored to death and 12:40 that's unusual because it's Star Wars 12:41 I shouldn't be bored during a Star Wars 12:42 movie I've sat through so many Star Wars 12:44 movies and I love Star Wars also but 12:46 this movie was I was I had to really 12:49 focus mmm right I it wasn't it wasn't 12:54 necessarily very enjoyable as far as 12:55 watch ability but it was still more 12:57 watchable for me than the last Jedi okay 12:59 yeah interesting mm-hmm all right I also 13:04 want to know before we move on 13:05 apparently this movie has the worst 13:07 critical reviews since the Phantom 13:09 Menace interesting yeah yeah but again 13:13 Star Wars is the best and worst thing 13:15 about the nerd universe hmm very true 13:18 forget to suppose I want to just briefly 13:20 the box office numbers the force awakens 13:24 opening weekend was around 250 million 13:28 dollars is about 247 million dollars and 13:31 it ended worldwide with two point zero 13:36 six billion dollars very impressive no 13:38 one's ever gonna catch up to that blast 13:40 should I 13:42 the last shot is opening weekend was two 13:45 hundred and twenty million and ended 13:47 with 1.3 billion dollars hmm half yeah 13:51 but still not bad oh it didn't it wasn't 13:54 a bomb by any means no it's not going to 13:56 be at Star Wars I mean that's the thing 13:58 there's that safety net that that's C 14:00 students safety net well this is where 14:02 it gets interesting because the rise of 14:04 Skywalker opened to a hundred and 14:07 seventy five million dollars 14:08 domestically mmm-hmm which is wait a 14:12 minute say that again 14:13 one hundred and seventy five million 14:14 dollars domestically what was its budget 14:16 oh I'm sure it was probably in the 250 14:19 range you know how much movies are yeah 14:21 this is not a bomb though mmm cuz 14:24 obviously worldwide I think it'd yeah it 14:26 was at like 450 by that by the weekend 14:28 right and so I mean it's not gonna be a 14:30 bomb it's gonna make over okay it's 14:33 gonna hit a boondoggle 14:33 right but it's still I think it's gonna 14:36 come out lower than the other two 14:38 possibly probably but I like that you 14:42 said we're starting to see the cracks 14:43 here mm-hm and I think it's wise for a 14:46 dizzy to take a break 14:47 mmm focus on the show is really 14:49 developed their characters and maybe 14:51 come at this five or so years down the 14:54 road with a real solid vision but you 14:58 know here's the thing how Star Wars ever 15:01 really been about that Star Wars isn't 15:02 like a Marvel or a DC where there's been 15:04 like a cohesive attempt at solid unified 15:07 world building ever 15:08 I mean Star Wars has always been kind of 15:09 amorphous in that way we were talking 15:11 about this a little bit the other day 15:13 where you know it kind of was a 15:16 free-for-all for a long time where 15:17 people were writing novels that you know 15:19 there's this whole can't what's can and 15:20 what's not Canon 15:21 there were graphic novels there were all 15:22 of these things that people were 15:24 contributing to the Star Wars universe 15:28 but I don't know I think that's part of 15:32 the beauty of it but 15:34 at the same time maybe it is time to 15:36 just let star wars just turn it loose 15:38 and let everybody contribute things to 15:40 it because you're think you're ever 15:41 gonna be able to get a cohesive vision 15:43 out of it at this point well I don't 15:45 know I think the fact that Disney has 15:48 bought it while that free-for-all was 15:50 still kind of happening I think now that 15:55 they've realized that critically and 15:57 perhaps seeing this drop with rise of 16:00 Skywalker even financially this is not 16:04 sustainable so taking that break to kind 16:06 of regroup because they're releasing 16:08 comic books as well they're releasing 16:09 novels as well and under their brand now 16:11 they're I mean they are letting other 16:13 people do this but maybe it's time for 16:14 them to take a break 16:16 really get some oversight over 16:19 everything and mainly right the ship so 16:22 I mean I don't know yeah I mean but I 16:24 think just I don't know I guess I just 16:26 feel like the Star Wars universe has 16:27 always been very open I mean it is an 16:31 entire universe I mean there were whole 16:32 books that were just short stories about 16:34 a character you saw once in a bar and 16:36 Mos Eisley you know for example but and 16:39 I don't know maybe it's time to let it 16:41 be really a universe in that sense and 16:42 just let it expand indefinitely with a 16:44 lot of different a lot of different ways 16:46 and stop focusing on movies because I 16:48 don't know how you go forward from here 16:50 without them being a letdown to some 16:52 extent also because I think that these 16:54 this last trilogy has played so heavily 16:56 off of people's nostalgia for the 16:58 original trilogy and people's desire for 17:01 something better after the prequels that 17:03 I don't that I feel like generationally 17:07 the shift is going to be so huge that 17:09 people will be on to something very 17:10 unlike Star Wars by the time they 17:12 actually sort all of this out that's a 17:15 good point 17:15 yeah very good point I mean again maybe 17:19 the TV shows are the way to go maybe 17:21 yeah for now 17:22 I mean just let people discover new 17:24 things within the universe perhaps yeah 17:26 feel like that would be the most 17:29 creative way to go forward sure but I 17:32 don't know anyway so like I said like I 17:34 said this movie is on pace so he'd hit a 17:36 billion dollars it will be come Disney's 17:39 seventh billion dollar movie this year 17:44 you know I'm gonna ask us I don't know 17:46 these things what are the other six you 17:47 can guess 17:48 well because Disney owns everything 17:49 that's the problem list yeah okay 17:51 endgame I'm sure yes 17:53 Oh frozen - probably what else has been 17:57 out that's under the Disney Aegis now Oh 18:00 Lion King yes boo right 18:04 spider-man yes awesome home that's for 18:07 I'm just trying to think cuz Disney owns 18:10 everything like I could literally say 18:12 anything that was famous and it would be 18:13 under that that particular what else is 18:16 a story but no toy stores Pixar isn't 18:19 it's not Disney they don't own that yet 18:21 thank god the overlords have not taken 18:23 over everything hmm 18:26 what are the other two what are the 18:27 other two what else has come out this 18:29 year 18:29 if I tell you're gonna get upset I'm not 18:32 gonna get up sex I really don't know so 18:34 tell me Captain Marvel I forgot about 18:38 that actually in Aladdin oh I forgot 18:41 about that I was thinking Aladdin but 18:42 for some reason in my head Aladdin came 18:44 out last year I'm already in 2020 okay 18:46 but you know out of those set out of 18:49 these seven movies there's only one that 18:51 I really loved didn't want to watch 18:52 again right that's interesting 18:55 see this is the problem when you have 18:57 evil overlords everything becomes kind 18:58 of mushy you've got to appeal to too 19:00 many people I think that there's 19:01 definitely a beauty and being nice 19:02 you're letting Nisha's develop anyway 19:04 let's get to the spoilers yes again I'm 19:07 sure everyone's have seen this film and 19:09 if you haven't come listen to it later 19:12 yeah three two one let's go just beat by 19:16 beat and get it here we gotta get into 19:19 it yeah I get out the gate Palpatine is 19:22 in the opening title card without really 19:24 any context he's just sending Trump 19:27 tweets out everyone basically yeah I'm 19:29 here exactly yeah Kyle just shows up at 19:32 dudes crib yeah 19:33 Palpatine just starts talking without 19:34 any explanation and why would anybody 19:37 know who he is at this point 19:38 I mean kylo knows I mean he's he's he's 19:42 been worshipping Vader everybody else 19:45 there is a point later where somebody 19:46 says yeah these guys sound crazy they 19:48 sound like weird druids and whatnot in 19:50 the universe woods but yeah that was 19:55 just what is he doing here why are we 19:56 acting like this isn't a big deal yeah I 19:58 just love you know he's like how are you 20:00 live 20:01 like the dark side is a path to many 20:03 abilities some consider to be unnatural 20:05 it's like the movies almost trying to do 20:08 a Jedi mind trick on us oh yeah you need 20:11 to worry about this exactly and then 20:12 later marry The Hobbit has that one that 20:14 one line right he's a clone like maybe 20:17 okay but hold on I'm sure he's not a 20:19 clone because who clones themself and 20:21 comes back as a wrinkly and decrepit old 20:24 man right like really you just cloned 20:26 yourself seventy-nine thousand years old 20:28 right now we know why Snoke was such a 20:31 mystery he was made by the Emperor but 20:33 also what the hell does that mean right 20:35 exactly and why was he important if he 20:37 was made why would you go to all the 20:39 trouble of making a different guy to be 20:41 your stalking horse when you are a 20:43 Palpatine just be Palpatine or just make 20:45 a clone yourself if kylo so powerful 20:48 just clone work kylos they're young and 20:49 younger and I mean just and if Palpatine 20:54 had these kind of four strings on Snoke 20:57 as a puppet mm-hmm why couldn't Luke 21:00 Leia or Yoda detect not exactly and also 21:05 let's be real basically this set up the 21:09 movie to be mediocre from the jump 21:11 because this is a completely toothless 21:13 villain oh it's Palpatine I guess he's 21:16 gonna get thrown over a bridge again 21:17 like we really don't know anything we 21:19 just gonna use fighting again exec 21:21 himself up exactly we don't know 21:23 anything about him but at the same time 21:25 we know everything about him that's the 21:27 worst villain development in the 21:28 universe true literally Palpatine was 21:31 hidden from the Jedi Council because he 21:34 didn't use his powers around them in 21:37 contrast his movie apparently he's using 21:39 his stuff across light-years and no 21:42 one's picking this up but there aren't 21:44 really any Jedi I mean there's ways to 21:47 justify that who cares that's the 21:50 problem right this movie says who cares 21:52 yeah because which is why I'm very much 21:54 like it was fine that was said and we 21:57 were just acts accepted and one or two 22:00 things maybe but there was a lot and 22:03 we'll get into that more so let's cut to 22:06 rey levitating the rocks like she's in 22:08 avatar mode against fire lord ozai 22:12 and let us somehow training her because 22:14 Leia totally knows what this is my first 22:17 racket against the feminist narrative of 22:19 this movie and the betrayal of Rey I've 22:21 never seen any other male Jedi do what 22:25 she has done in such a short amount of 22:27 time Luke wasn't anywhere near this 22:29 powerful before he confronted Vader but 22:32 raised all like I have to earn his 22:35 lightsaber our people saying that this 22:37 is a feminist narrative because if it is 22:40 there's a lot of flaws with that because 22:41 Rey is completely a MarySue she's a very 22:43 an interesting character she just sort 22:45 of hangs around in districts we're gonna 22:48 I'm gonna go down a list people actually 22:50 saying that it's a feminist narrative 22:52 I'm really shocked if they if that's the 22:53 case yeah Wow okay i yeah like I said I 22:58 kind of I see Star Wars and I just sort 23:01 of smell armpits and step away on the 23:02 Internet I do I just there's just not 23:04 anything interesting and anybody's 23:06 critique it's so hard to find good stuff 23:07 which is why I'm like I'm really working 23:09 hard to make sure that we're being 23:10 interesting here yeah it is again raised 23:14 better than Luke but she has to earn his 23:17 stuff the man who failed his greatest 23:19 pupil and helped start the problems in 23:21 this trilogy like shouldn't the goal of 23:24 a Jedi to make her own lightsaber the 23:27 visual dictionary says that she learned 23:29 how to rebuild Anakin's lightsaber 23:32 through the Jedi texts but wouldn't have 23:34 been nice to learn that in the movie 23:37 along with maybe her learning how to 23:40 heal things for reasons hmm and as you 23:44 said maybe she could use the force to 23:45 develop a personality she's completely 23:48 well I mean what does she do she's she's 23:51 interesting but they're everything about 23:52 her I see this is why I am really 23:54 annoyed if this is meant to be a ferret 23:56 feminist narrative it's the same problem 23:57 as Captain Marvel everything about her 23:59 is told to us by somebody else or is 24:02 connected to somebody else that's not 24:04 okay ABB's I completely agree with you 24:07 and yeah the the Leia being her master 24:11 that's not a big deal for me I mean it 24:13 would be nice to have learned more about 24:15 Leia's training and abilities but 24:19 because Luke's gone I mean leah has 24:22 something she could she could give some 24:23 sort of advice that's not a big deal 24:25 yeah org and character should have fossa 24:27 Flay is going to be raised trainer she 24:29 needs to not know what she's doing I 24:30 mean did to see that or she needs to be 24:32 figuring out as she goes along and we 24:33 need to see that but instead we have her 24:35 doing this Gaia the Earth Mother thing 24:37 with her extremely Photoshop lens flared 24:40 face like just the force the force is 24:44 what we're doing the forces everything 24:46 like how do you know this yeah 24:50 again magic is magic but magic has rules 24:54 I want to go into personna which is that 24:56 kind of Middle Eastern planet that that 25:00 they met Landa one yeah that was one my 25:04 favorite parts the movie and for me the 25:07 funniest moment was when Threepio was 25:08 explaining the culture and everyone just 25:10 stops and starts looking at him and then 25:12 he turns to let's see what they're 25:14 looking at yeah I I have to be honest 25:17 there are times when I really relate to 25:19 c-3po yeah that was that was cool me 25:24 those people were cute I liked them 25:25 actually trying to do some growth 25:27 learning with culture it's not just like 25:29 every play it's like a shithole like yes 25:33 I see your attention British people yeah 25:36 yeah yeah and you know that pole 25:38 situation in personna the one thing I 25:40 liked about that also is that that's 25:42 where you where I started to think okay 25:44 so I get that there's relationships 25:45 between these people now there's been 25:47 stuff going on behind the scenes so now 25:49 they're all know that c-3po is annoying 25:50 where before they don't even really 25:51 interact with him okay we kind of start 25:53 to there's more relationship building 25:57 there's more evidence of relationship 25:59 build yeah by the time we get there and 26:01 I quite like that yeah mm-hmm Lando I 26:04 like Lando I told everyone and the was 26:07 at the previous show that I think Lando 26:08 is probably the second coolest black 26:11 fictional character on in fiction on 26:13 screen at least yeah but if they're 26:16 tracking a Sith assess and why is this 26:17 old man there yeah he just sort of piped 26:20 in and was like hello hello hello 26:22 give Leah my love like what does anybody 26:26 know you're still alive right like are 26:29 we supposed to be surprised to see you 26:30 are they supposed to be surprised to see 26:32 you not hear what Chewie is just like oh 26:34 it's you again like what right like wait 26:37 wait a minute like dudes not even like 26:39 where's hon oh he'd even ask about no 26:43 Hans dead Wow wait wait hold on and 26:49 loose at least Luke asked about it in 26:51 the last movie how do you turn the black 26:54 man who's not a Jedi or have any force 26:55 sensitivity into the magical Negro he 26:57 just shows up to be like look at me look 26:59 at this and then he disappears in a puff 27:01 of smoke like leaving the sense of Colt 27:04 45 and cools behind like oh the hot 27:12 thing I had even catched that great 27:14 great cat I mean that was his best 27:16 friend 27:17 yeah I mean just this old man being 27:20 there like doesn't the resistance have 27:21 special forces for this hey guys and 27:24 doesn't even know that Luke's dead does 27:27 he know anything like he'd there's no he 27:30 doesn't say or do anything again this is 27:32 the bad writing because they're resting 27:34 on their laurels the same way they do 27:35 with Palpatine we know everything about 27:37 we know everything about Lando but we 27:39 also know nothing about Lando yeah our 27:41 whole response to Lando being in this is 27:43 based on his presence in previous movies 27:45 I could imagine being a kid and watching 27:47 this movie as my first Star Wars movie 27:48 ever and being like why is he important 27:50 yeah like there's no reason for him to 27:52 be there there's no there's no evidence 27:56 of his connection to the previous movies 27:57 there's no evidence of his connection to 27:59 the current story but he's just he's the 28:03 Bagger Vance of Star Wars for no reason 28:06 like what's he doing there did you think 28:08 she was dead when a ray blasted that 28:11 ship 28:11 no only because everybody was being way 28:14 too hysterical about it and then the 28:16 next scene was like let's fly like what 28:18 wait there's no like memorial like 28:20 you're not gonna memorialize him he must 28:22 be alive somewhere 28:23 I don't know how okay that whole scene 28:25 though that was so hysterical and over 28:28 the top John boyega oh and he did that 28:32 he's just started like shrieking all of 28:34 a sudden you know just like geek he got 28:37 way over the top with it and yeah I just 28:41 everybody was just screeching at the top 28:43 of their lungs and I was like this is 28:45 you guys are working real hard to make 28:47 this script to sell this script to me 28:49 but just from the way you're acting and 28:51 the fact that the next scene has 28:53 no emotional residence at all potiki oh 28:55 exactly he was like niggas get shot 28:57 every devi i know basically he was like 28:59 I don't gotta run the vacuum no more 29:01 [Laughter] 29:05 yeah yeah yeah it wouldn't happen when 29:09 it happened I was a bit numb I was like 29:11 wow this is really sudden and then I 29:14 thought it was kind of funny when they 29:16 put their hands in for Chewie reminded 29:17 me of gern's the galaxy I was like okay 29:20 we're all standing ships right but then 29:25 of course there was another transport I 29:27 mean just how lazy writing yeah cuz I 29:31 did get mad for a second like they're 29:33 just gonna kill Chewie like that right 29:34 right like the like the only remaining 29:36 og from the original trilogy he just 29:39 blows up out of nowhere like first of 29:41 all how they Kidman it's like that key 29:43 and peele sketch where they're being 29:45 auctioned off of slaves and they see 29:46 this really big dunno like how did they 29:48 catch him that's what I was like how 29:49 they catch chewy like Poe and should we 29:51 stand together and they take Chewie I 29:53 mean they have blasters I don't know I 29:55 guess yeah yeah I think ray should have 30:00 really hurt or killed someone I mean 30:02 give us some real depth you know and you 30:04 know if she's that sensitive in the 30:06 force and Finn is also growing in that 30:09 way too and and could feel her death why 30:12 couldn't they feel it for him and not 30:13 feel he not dead or on the other ship 30:16 like he just again just lazy right right 30:18 and what I didn't catch also is how did 30:21 they know he wasn't dead later cuz they 30:23 never really explained that they're just 30:25 like let's go get Chewie and I'm like 30:26 how did you know he's not dead I missed 30:28 that I must have been like I must have 30:31 gotten bored and sort of scrolling on my 30:32 phone or something and missed it and 30:34 didn't run it back you know what I 30:37 forget - yeah I but I I almost I know 30:41 they said something about okay but I I 30:43 don't remember what yeah what happened 30:44 because I mean the next time you see 30:46 Chewie he's being imprisoned and then 30:47 the next time you see him he's being 30:48 rescued and I I don't remember where 30:52 they establish that they're going that 30:54 they know he's there and they're going 30:55 to rescue him which brings up another 30:57 criticism this is a mighty small 30:58 universe like everything is five minutes 31:02 away from everything else and people 31:04 just coincidentally are like in the same 31:06 neighborhood all the time 31:07 yeah like magically this thing is on end 31:09 or just really this is a galaxy we're 31:13 talking about here this is a whole 31:15 entire galaxy galaxies are large and 31:17 have many planets but we seem to kind of 31:19 go to the same five places and everybody 31:21 seems to sort of only know those same 31:23 five places and even not I mean I don't 31:26 want to get into the magic of Lightspeed 31:28 and how really it should take longer 31:31 time to get to places but it does let's 31:32 just I mean that I can hand wave just 31:34 fine because I mean the force okay magic 31:36 is magic and has rules but one of the 31:38 rules could be okay we it enables 31:39 extremely fast time travel like dune or 31:41 something space travel like dude or 31:43 something but they're not using the 31:44 Foresters using science in it yeah but 31:46 I'd still be able to I mean the what in 31:49 Star Wars is really science honestly 31:51 nobody saying here's the force and 31:56 saying this is light speed right we know 31:59 what that constant is okay that's fair 32:01 enough 32:02 that's firmly positioned so that's kind 32:05 of okay but even so hand waving the 32:09 light speed think for a second it's 32:10 still a galaxy right but everybody is in 32:13 the same neighborhood like everybody's 32:15 on the same block right and just 32:17 something crazy about that yeah like 32:18 they're all like running into each other 32:20 at the convenience store on a Saturday 32:21 night like a general Hux hate you to buy 32:23 like what I want to get to how they 32:29 enter the Star Destroyer hangar to save 32:32 Chewie 32:32 hmm are there no cameras when they do 32:35 start unit the place I thought that too 32:37 like there's no CCTV in the whole known 32:39 galaxy I really had to like stop and 32:41 think it through like is there a reason 32:42 that they don't have cameras because 32:44 they made it a point to shoot cameras 32:45 later on the ship that's what God makes 32:47 at first I was like okay so maybe it's 32:50 because this is like the 1970s version 32:52 of the future and they're still like 32:53 CCTV wasn't a thing then so they haven't 32:55 gone back and retrofitted it in and that 32:57 makes a lot of sense but wait no there's 32:58 cameras now what well let's I want to go 33:01 back to a new hope cuz hotland 33:02 when Han and Luke got taken aboard the 33:07 the Star Destroyer they tricked the 33:10 stormtroopers into boarding the Falcon 33:11 so they can jump them and take the 33:12 uniforms so they could be undetected 33:14 right um but in this film they had 33:16 actual access to get into the Star 33:19 Destroyer 33:20 compared to Han and Luke getting 33:22 captured by the tractor beam you had 33:24 kind of the advantage on them you could 33:26 have thought them less had been done 33:27 what you did but you chose not yeah and 33:29 then you just started shaking up the 33:30 place and again three folks shooting in 33:33 an open hangar against surrounded by 33:35 stormtroopers again how does that work 33:37 me I know they can't shoot but I just 33:38 found that crazy you're not like there's 33:40 no way you could miss right and there's 33:43 there's several of you and these dudes I 33:46 mean the stormtroopers are wearing body 33:47 armor sure we just walking around in his 33:49 carpet like right just shoot me yeah so 33:56 but yeah that was just again just weird 33:58 lazy writing and then Pope gets shot in 34:01 the arm yeah and that never becomes a 34:03 thing later who cares I always wondered 34:06 do the blasters and Star Wars have like 34:09 settings like the blasters in Star Trek 34:10 because you can see like burning red 34:12 holes and people when they get shot but 34:14 then the next scene they're walking 34:15 around like no big deal 34:16 back tank I guess yeah back to its 34:19 powerful I suppose yeah you know it's 34:23 still still on on that scene if kylo 34:25 still good at finding Rey why didn't he 34:26 know that she was on his ship yeah that 34:29 was weird like he knew everything about 34:30 her except that side note how can kylo 34:34 still force time ray if she cut him out 34:36 in the last movie yeah that was strange 34:39 too now I will say visually that seems 34:41 very interesting and I am looking 34:43 forward to seeing this in a proper 34:44 theater because I did there were things 34:47 I saw in this someone I'm like I'd like 34:48 to see that on like a big screen like 3d 34:50 with a big sound and everything but and 34:52 I thought that that seemed looked really 34:54 interesting the way that they they did 34:56 the interplay of them being in two 34:57 different places but magic is magic but 35:00 magic has rules the rules didn't make 35:03 any sense in this part not at all 35:04 it just looked nice yeah the whole the 35:06 berries from ki Jimmy spilled out on the 35:10 Death Star 35:11 like why like do they create some kind 35:13 of force bubble that opens wormholes or 35:16 Kyla took the necklace from Ray on that 35:19 Posada planet but it's like it's like 35:21 another Jedi Mind like it's good 35:23 it's cool don't worry about it it just 35:24 looks cool which I mean it does and the 35:27 thing is there it's just lazy writing 35:28 because they could have set that up and 35:31 made it much more impactful than just a 35:33 cool looking thing 35:34 because there are I guess again 35:35 precedence you could if they had gone to 35:38 the if they had gone to the trouble of 35:40 developing the story and developing the 35:42 characters and setting up the 35:44 developments in the magic system you 35:46 could that totally could have worked but 35:48 the way that they did it they just sort 35:49 of sprung it on you visually without any 35:51 explanation and Star Wars that's kind of 35:53 Star Wars brand I mean they show you a 35:55 lot of weird stuff and then that's why 35:56 people go and write entire books about 35:58 one scene hmm years later but it doesn't 36:02 work when it's this big of a set piece 36:04 and has this much impact on the plot yes 36:06 and that's that's been the problem 36:09 honestly since the beginning mmm 36:12 I mean I don't want to rehash and really 36:14 litigate the old movies but the fact 36:16 that even Rey could fight and beat kylo 36:21 Ren and the very beginning of the forth 36:24 in the force awakens this is still silly 36:26 to me it's kind of lazy I think people 36:28 know that the creators know that people 36:31 love Star Wars a lot and we're going to 36:33 read books and watch TV shows and read 36:36 comics about it later and then they're 36:38 kind of resting on the fact that they 36:39 can tell us these extra details and 36:41 other properties and the super fans will 36:43 really get it but that makes the the 36:46 movie is much less enjoyable yes there 36:49 have been a lot of powers and just 36:50 levels that have been introduced in 36:52 these latest films that compared to 36:55 before it's been harder to digest right 36:59 yeah so the level up between the 37:01 original trilogy and the prequels make 37:03 sense because in the prequels this was 37:05 minute Jedi Society was at its peak 37:06 everybody should be way better at 37:08 everything right right but now you've 37:10 got this these these post schools well 37:20 take you've got these sequels post polls 37:23 from now you've got these sequels and 37:25 they take place after a serious period 37:28 of attrition where nobody knew what was 37:29 going on really everybody was trying to 37:31 rediscover being a Jedi 37:33 everything had taken a turn towards 37:35 technology whatever that means in the 37:37 Star Wars universe and all of a sudden 37:40 you've got people displaying power 37:42 levels and abilities like the ones in 37:45 the past without actually having any 37:47 access Tinian 37:48 apparently although that is the one 37:50 thing that having Palpatine in this 37:52 movie could explain away but they didn't 37:54 bother to do that because pop team was 37:57 was around in the old days they didn't 37:59 bother to do that they just sort of said 38:01 and now we have teleporting face time 38:05 what is time 38:07 whatever it I think it's make it that's 38:08 even that is inconsistent because Luke 38:12 at the Jedi tags mmm-hmm he was training 38:15 students I mean what happened to Kyle oh 38:18 yeah Kyle was essentially trained since 38:19 birth mm-hmm since birth and then he got 38:24 trained by Snoke if he is Palpatine how 38:26 Bateen was a great lightsaber duelist 38:29 the way that kylo has always been 38:31 dueling in this trilogy has been really 38:34 sloppy 38:35 yeah and just well it's because Adam 38:37 driver is a gigantic human being he's 38:40 gonna look awkward no matter what it is 38:41 I don't know how big he was but you 38:43 really do see it a little out of the 38:44 duels in this but I think partially 38:46 because he's always up against Daisy 38:48 Ridley who's a tiny tiny woman but he 38:50 just looks ridiculous it's like watching 38:52 a grasshopper fight with a sword he does 38:56 a good job with it I mean he's a very 38:57 good actor and he does sell you the 39:00 character through his motions because 39:01 you do kind of get the idea that you 39:02 know kylo is this basically a whiny 39:05 space and sell but I think I think that 39:08 the old sholde you did a better job even 39:11 or the original truly did their job even 39:13 though they weren't particularly as 39:15 proficient like you know Mark Hamill 39:17 wasn't that physical either yeah but I 39:19 mean he got better over time but there 39:22 was more emotion in the fights that kind 39:24 of sold it better and I know and as you 39:26 said because I don't ever such a good 39:28 actor she sells it but from a story 39:31 standpoint like this is the only guy 39:33 who's been trained since birth and this 39:35 yeah this is true and he should be just 39:38 so much better and the fact that she got 39:40 beat by Rey in the beginning I can yes 39:44 we can she just found out what a 39:45 lightsaber was yesterday yes yeah I mean 39:47 she just learned Jedi mind trick right 39:49 there she learned how to call a 39:51 lightsaber to her and it was just as I 39:54 said I don't want to because we have a 39:55 lot of talking she's very Mary Sue and 39:56 that's I really just they introduced 39:59 powers too fast and 40:01 - frequently in this film and they wind 40:04 up kind of being you know like you said 40:07 Jedi Mind Tricks they don't because they 40:09 do that they're don't have the impact 40:10 when you first see a real lightsaber 40:15 fight in the original trilogy it's 40:18 awesome because they introduced it 40:19 gradually and even though it literally 40:21 is just like it looks like two little 40:23 boys having a stick fight it's still 40:25 awesome because they've built it up and 40:28 it's really a part of the way of the 40:30 world in the universe when you see Darth 40:32 Maul unleash that double lightsaber that 40:36 he has in the first of the prequels 40:39 that's awesome but it's still pretty 40:42 awesome because it's a huge level up and 40:44 because you suddenly see oh this is what 40:47 the Jedi and the Sith are really 40:48 supposed to be like this is what they 40:50 were like before everything was lost 40:52 right in this one we're kind of trying 40:54 to split the difference between those 40:55 two things but they don't actually build 40:57 anything up it's there's no learning 40:59 curve there's no you don't really get to 41:01 journey with your heroes and that's the 41:03 problem 41:03 I completely agree anyway sorry moving 41:05 on Mauro's finn why was he so secretive 41:08 about his force sensitivity with Poe who 41:10 is his best friend 41:11 at this point sign of it on that did you 41:14 read about my about how he was trying to 41:18 get Disney to let them maybe him and 41:21 Finn have a I got a bromance but the 41:23 Disney overlords wouldn't let them do it 41:25 they really they really are just paying 41:27 Rose Tico dust in every possible way 41:29 aren't they yeah we'll get to her yeah 41:33 but yeah I just mean that would be nice 41:35 but they didn't set any of that up 41:36 really 41:37 I didn't think but they set up other 41:39 romantic avenues for Finn that never 41:41 went anywhere he's just you know chasing 41:43 behind Daisy Ridley like vanished yeah 41:49 they kind of eunuch eyes him it's not 41:50 cool yeah yeah I just I just found it if 41:53 if pose your best friend and you and you 41:56 really care about Rey as well what why 41:58 would you hide that from them like what 42:01 was the right time to tell them any like 42:03 it's not really and does he yeah and 42:06 again it's like this is one of those 42:08 places where they try to show the work 42:10 that's been going on behind the scenes 42:12 with these characters but they don't 42:13 write it well enough 42:15 for it to really have an impact and the 42:18 fact that it was a recurring gag mm-hmm 42:20 and there was no payoff for that at all 42:23 I he never told them and apparently JJ 42:26 Abrams confirmed that indeed what he 42:29 wanted to tell them the whole time was 42:31 that he was force sensitive not like 42:32 that he loved Drake that's what I 42:34 assumed the whole time hmm 42:36 like when a Mikaela oh I want to be like 42:38 Oh what was it oh uh nothing nothing no 42:41 it's it's fine my dude no yeah if he's 42:45 actually an important technical ability 42:47 here yes if you're able to get training 42:49 from Ray or late at this point why would 42:51 you hide that this terrible writing he 42:54 doesn't this character is really not 42:56 very well from at all he's been all six 42:58 different people over the course of 42:59 three movies yeah so it's kind of make 43:01 up your mind dude do they have therapy 43:03 in the galaxy in the few you know anyway 43:07 well I want to get to that a little bit 43:08 later if we can mm-hmm about my article 43:11 but okay how do you feel about Huck's 43:13 feeling himself as the spy I mean I'm 43:15 glad they finally gave Donald Grayson 43:16 something to do but at the same time it 43:21 was very it was like something I have a 43:23 different movie like all of a sudden 43:24 he's like I'm the spy okay shoulda had a 43:31 mustache it's just like something out of 43:32 Casino Royale 43:33 I have no spine no I'm the spy and then 43:35 I will say this one of the few moments 43:38 in this film it actually shocked me was 43:39 when he just got blown away yeah I mean 43:43 yeah we found this by the end yeah I was 43:47 but that was just so pointless um again 43:48 I I go back to the TV shows rebels host 43:51 the idea of a traitor much much better 43:54 like Huck's could have been the inside 43:55 man doing the rest of the movie helping 43:56 him out or he or they could have 43:58 bothered to set that up in the previous 44:00 two movies cuz he's been around this 44:01 whole time and why would he suddenly be 44:02 a spy he was like in charge of I mean 44:05 he's been like the head Nazi this whole 44:07 time and now he's a spy why why does he 44:10 hate kylo Ren that much we never really 44:12 get any of this character development I 44:14 mean we've seen even from the first 44:16 because I watched the the first two how 44:19 he always kind of when he was talking to 44:22 Snoke alongside Kyle and he would give 44:24 him give him advice it would be like 44:27 alright Huck you got it and he 44:28 kind of like look over at Kyla like yeah 44:30 bitch I'm still here mmm it's like yeah 44:33 but yeah would you betray all this 44:36 entire ideology I thought it was kind of 44:39 weird yeah but again I think that's also 44:41 because in the middle movie middles of 44:43 chili teas are always my least favorite 44:45 and I think having them made by a 44:46 completely different person who clearly 44:48 wanted the story to end in a different 44:49 way isn't helpful no they said JJ Abrams 44:53 set stuff up in the first movie which 44:54 clearly didn't get followed through in 44:56 the second movie and then he's trying to 44:59 go back to those same threads and tell 45:00 the same story he intended all along in 45:02 the third movie and it doesn't work 45:03 because the middles done something 45:04 completely different so it's like you've 45:06 got it's like it's like trying to tell a 45:09 story and you like have to leave and 45:11 somebody else tells it for you and then 45:13 you come back after an hour and try and 45:14 tell the story you originally had in 45:16 mind yeah it just doesn't work I agree 45:21 Jana who I don't know her nobody knows 45:27 her they better write a book about her I 45:30 I told you probably in the other podcast 45:32 and on Instagram I was just like kind of 45:34 fin I was excited to finally see this 45:36 black woman in a movie with natural hair 45:38 and she started out great yeah into the 45:43 background yeah I mean it was crazy to 45:46 me is she was another stormtrooper who 45:49 committed mutiny yeah all of them were 45:52 that's an amazing story what did they do 45:55 with that and and she did it on a 45:57 feeling so is she 45:59 force sensitive just like which I mean 46:03 this is potential for a really good book 46:06 in the future because apparently you've 46:07 got a whole segment of the stormtroopers 46:10 who are force sensitive which then leads 46:11 them to become mutineers and that's a 46:13 great story I kind of wish that had been 46:15 the story all along to be honest but 46:18 yeah they don't really do anything with 46:20 it they introduce this great concept and 46:22 then at the end well we'll get there I'm 46:24 sure keep going and that's you know 46:27 folks are going to you know say maybe 46:29 I'm a sexist but the idea of a 46:33 stormtrooper who was taken as a child 46:36 and it's slaved to be a fighter for the 46:40 Empire rebelling 46:42 and developing forest powers to defeat 46:44 his former captors would make for a much 46:47 more interesting story than just ray 46:50 being a nobody right I will say this 46:54 though I kind of hate that that's the 46:57 backstory of the stormtroopers I always 46:58 have liked that they're basically child 47:01 slaves child soldiers that have been 47:02 like it it removes the teeth from the 47:05 ideology of the the rebels versus the 47:07 Empire right he's being kind of just 47:09 yeah the fact that they're basically 47:11 brainwashed leaves kind of like I didn't 47:12 really love the fact or a lot of them 47:14 are clones as well I've always hated 47:15 that okay 47:16 like I thought that here's the thing it 47:19 really briefly what I feel like it's 47:23 lame and kind of a cop-out to make evil 47:26 not know it's evil to make evil 47:31 unwilling right if you're gonna have bad 47:34 guys they can't be bad guys because a 47:36 big bad guy fooled them into thinking 47:38 they that they're they I mean if the 47:41 people who are on the bad guy side don't 47:43 have a personal investment in what 47:45 they're doing then it seems kind of 47:49 unfair for the whole the good side who 47:51 are all there by choice to be shooting 47:54 them and beating them for nine movies 47:57 now yeah I never really liked that that 48:00 retrofitting of where the stormtroopers 48:02 come from actually I totally agree with 48:04 that and as you said the original 48:06 trilogy they were just from what we 48:07 could see just space Nazis it's easy to 48:09 be like yet mm-hmm shoot them all mm-hmm 48:12 then you get to the clone wars and 48:13 they're just kind of just meat bags yeah 48:15 and and then if you watch the actual 48:18 Clone Wars TV show you have even more 48:20 sympathy mm-hmm for them so that retro 48:23 actively you're like well are the so a 48:24 lot of clones in Episode four cuz I feel 48:27 kind of bad now about that and they 48:29 never get to this new film where it's 48:30 like yeah these are just kids who were 48:33 who didn't know any better and who were 48:34 brainwashed essentially y'all just 48:35 happily gunning them down right exactly 48:38 I mean they're gunning you down too but 48:39 they'd never known anything better I 48:42 don't like and I don't like ambiguity of 48:45 evil without ambiguity of good as well I 48:47 guess that's what I'm trying to say and 48:48 they introduced all this ambiguity of 48:50 the of what they're currently trying to 48:52 present as evil without giving good 48:55 the good side I guess compatible 48:59 ambiguity even though they try with ray 49:01 I wanted to take the only yes were they 49:05 kind of try to do which is why I really 49:06 liked rogue one actually totally anyway 49:09 sorry good 49:10 you'll be okay I want to get to Kyle and 49:14 race fight on the Death Star ruins I 49:16 love that after she touched the the 49:18 wayfinder and sees some of the dark side 49:19 in her mm-hmm Kyle is like you can't go 49:23 back to her now like I can't I'm like 49:25 nigga yo not alike right exactly like 49:30 their whole relationship again bad bad 49:33 writing 49:34 I feel like him and smoked the way the 49:38 way they talk to her is like they just 49:40 trying to do like these like entitled 49:41 white men just trying to Gaslight her 49:44 they say straight man's playing the 49:46 whole time man's playing dis gaslighting 49:48 like oh you are this you're this you 49:49 can't do this like why would she even 49:52 want to be a Jedi I'm like why would I 49:54 join you like you you're clearly crazy 49:56 exactly like why that's not as appealing 49:59 as they think it is I think in my 50:01 opening scene I slaughtered innocent 50:03 villagers but me and you were the same 50:05 like you're not the same I was killing 50:07 literally yeah just no no their 50:12 relationship made no sense to me at all 50:13 like why are they this friendly really 50:15 and I want to go to Palpatine telling 50:20 Kyle oh after that fight he must you 50:24 know what let me let me let me go back 50:26 and I wanted to say my favorite part of 50:29 the movie which was han and kylo talking 50:34 yeah I always get really happy when I 50:35 see Han he's to me he was the heart of 50:37 the original trilogy yeah I love Han and 50:39 you know both of them I mean I don't I 50:42 was a great actor but you know here's a 50:44 four came to Act two yeah and I love 50:46 that he didn't do anything flashy I 50:47 didn't think he'd come back but I'm glad 50:49 he did that was nice man when Adam 50:52 driver was kind of like fighting the 50:54 worst to tell his father that he loved 50:56 him and he was like I know right just 50:58 like from impact I was like wow 51:00 have I told you my Han story from the 51:02 original trilogy no okay so when I was 51:04 like 7 51:05 my mother sat me down and was like we're 51:06 gonna watch these movies they are great 51:08 we sat and we watched 51:09 all the original trilogy movies and I 51:11 was into it man but I knew that like if 51:14 I had any kind of negative reaction my 51:15 mom wouldn't let me finish watching them 51:17 and at the end of Empire Strikes Back 51:19 when they froze Han and Carbonite I was 51:21 so horrified that I excused myself to go 51:24 and like secretly throw up and come back 51:26 because I was so hot but I didn't want 51:27 to like let my mom know how much it 51:29 upset me cuz I wanted to watch the rest 51:30 of the movie I wanted to see what 51:31 happened next right but I like whit and 51:33 like threw up and that I just came back 51:34 like nothing had happened like okay I'm 51:36 ready for the next movie we got popcorn 51:37 because I was I was horrified yes so 51:40 scared look on his face I was terrified 51:42 it was so bad yeah yeah yeah anyway I 51:50 want to go to Palpatine telling kylo 51:53 that he must kill ray before she becomes 51:56 a Jedi is she not a Jedi sorry I didn't 52:01 mean to yell but I didn't mean to yell 52:03 that was a stupidest thing like kill her 52:04 before she becomes a Jedi well then what 52:06 are you yeah like what's the criteria 52:09 for being a Jedi now and this is again 52:10 another strike against this feminist 52:14 like in the first film 52:15 she bested kylo Ren something Luke was 52:18 hardly close to in his first film and 52:20 kylo is easily stronger than Darth Vader 52:22 was um in the last Jedi she confronted 52:26 kylo and Snoke on their own turf and 52:29 returned the Jedi Luke was challenged by 52:31 Yoda to do the same thing with Emperor 52:33 and Vader or he didn't say go to go to 52:35 the Emperor he said just go to Vader 52:37 that's what Yoda said you have to 52:38 confront your friend your father or a 52:40 Jedi you will not be her son like that 52:42 she went to both of those dudes like is 52:44 that not enough even in the second film 52:46 she doesn't seem to have got she doesn't 52:49 have any guidance really because that 52:51 wasn't what Luke did in his appearance 52:52 in the last film and everybody is 52:55 constantly talking down to her and she's 52:57 a Jedi but she doesn't get to be because 52:59 the men don't approve this is kind of 53:01 garbage you know like I was really 53:02 annoyed with that mm-hmm you know like 53:04 she's clearly a Jetta and we haven't 53:06 because we haven't really had a lady 53:07 Jedi before this is just kind of a 53:10 strike against the writing because it 53:11 was clear that none of the men who've 53:13 been running this series had any idea 53:14 what to do with this character of Rey 53:16 they thought a girl Jedi would be cool 53:17 people will come and watch it but they 53:19 didn't actually put any thought into 53:20 actually what that is you haven't 53:22 watched the 53:23 a lot but the way that ahsoka tano is 53:25 used I mean she's honestly my favorite 53:27 character in the entire series she's 53:29 awesome look I really like her a lot so 53:31 if you have the chance to watch it I 53:33 recommend it but yeah you know ray she 53:36 bested multiple Imperial Guards who were 53:38 trained to defeat Jedi she levitated 53:40 multiple boulders to save her friend at 53:43 the end of that movie in Luke's fur in 53:46 the entire Strikes Back 53:47 she thirst-trapping-- collar on across 53:49 the galaxy I mean come on now in Empire 53:53 Strikes Back Luke couldn't even levitate 53:55 the x-wing mm-hmm and yet she's doing 53:57 that with like with no effort and in the 53:59 second movie in the beginning of this 54:00 movie again she's left hand those 54:02 boulders like she's an avatar Luke 54:05 couldn't do any of these things when he 54:06 beat Vader she saves kylo Ren physically 54:10 and spiritually again something Luke 54:12 couldn't even do for his own father yeah 54:14 so it's like again what are the 54:16 standards yeah because she is at this 54:17 point the Jedi she's frankly she's kind 54:20 of more powerful than Palpatine at this 54:21 point but at least in terms of them 54:25 demonstratively so what yeah ridiculous 54:28 I was really annoyed by that before this 54:30 this bloodline drama the Jedi trials of 54:34 old weren't about confronting your 54:35 family so this whole thing of like you 54:37 can only become a Jedi when you confront 54:40 your dark family members is it's it's 54:42 really silly now well this is an issue 54:44 with Star Wars in general I said we have 54:45 this whole mythos of the Jedi but they 54:47 don't do a very good job of defining 54:49 that in the film what it actually means 54:51 to be a Jedi because it's very different 54:53 in each trilogy true true again you 54:58 really got to watch the Clone Wars and 54:59 rebels yeah I got to go back to it I've 55:01 watched one season I need to watch this 55:02 so great how do you feel about Rey being 55:05 a Palpatine what for that's how I felt 55:10 yeah like okay that's nice but again 55:12 this is where it's very much like JJ 55:13 Abrams was like no all the time I wanted 55:15 her to be a Palpatine so I don't care 55:17 about what what what's his name Ryan 55:19 Johnson did she's a Papa teen and I'm 55:21 going to make that exactly I'm gonna 55:23 make that happen now um yeah it didn't 55:26 really add much to anything it doesn't 55:27 matter that she's a Papa teen especially 55:29 since at the end she's like I'm Rey 55:30 Skywalker so this is the next strike 55:33 against the feminist narrative because 55:35 despite my issues with the last should 55:36 her not having special parents was not 55:39 one of my problems yeah actually it was 55:41 one of the better things about the movie 55:43 I totally agree like no one acts about 55:45 Yoda or mace or Obi Wan's parents 55:47 they're just great on their own exactly 55:49 the end the last should I present it Rey 55:51 in that way but all that was thrown out 55:54 yeah like she's not strong by herself 55:56 then she couldn't even defeat Palpatine 55:58 by herself she had to have all the other 56:00 Jedi in her to accomplish the task which 56:04 didn't make any sense at all and that 56:06 was one of those points I was like yeah 56:08 okay so what's happening on Facebook 56:09 like I was just really seriously that 56:11 should have been exciting but I was like 56:12 why no totally she she just became a 56:15 vessel exactly and it's kind of you know 56:19 like what's her real arc as a character 56:21 like Rey told Finn on the Falcon I think 56:25 that everyone thinks they know her but 56:27 she's afraid that no one does it feels 56:29 meta for the movie he does because it's 56:31 true they don't bother to give her a 56:33 character character heroes have journeys 56:35 heroes have flaws her entire journey is 56:37 encapsulated by doing fancy things 56:41 progressively fancier things with no 56:43 idea of how she got to know them and her 56:45 fatal flaw is that maybe her family's 56:48 not special that's nothing again just 56:50 like Captain Marvel nothing about her is 56:52 actually about her it's all about other 56:54 people's perceptions of her and other 56:56 people's definitions of her that that 56:59 says some to me that says something very 57:01 disturbing about the way that young 57:03 women are trained to think of ourselves 57:04 if we think that that is feminist yes 57:07 because that's to me isn't feminist at 57:09 all and if also it it's disturbing to me 57:12 because it reinforces exactly what these 57:14 meathead dudes who are like well they 57:16 put women in Star Wars and ruined it 57:18 because now it's feminist you really 57:20 think that women think of ourselves in 57:21 terms of what you think right are you 57:23 kidding me right like it's just there's 57:25 a lot of problems there I'm really 57:27 shocked to hear that it's a feminist 57:28 script this is the stench of armpits 57:29 wafting over this entire argument no 57:31 thank you 57:32 the emperor though I know who I 57:36 like looking like that I said on on 57:38 Twitter that his his tinder name is a 57:41 champagne puppy 57:44 you used to call me on my florist phone 57:48 I'm just saying like they pwned him if 57:51 he cloned himself as a ninety nine 57:53 thousand year old man so he was but you 57:55 know eight hundred and ninety-nine 57:56 thousand years old when they went and he 57:59 was the the senator at the time that's 58:03 not better no you're right right but 58:05 again that's just more hand waving like 58:07 yes yeah I the Emperor had a wife he's a 58:15 Sith and there's that whole rule of two 58:17 thing and the jedis don't have wives of 58:19 procreate and it can notwithstanding so 58:23 shouldn't the emperor not have had i 58:26 don't interest i don't know if the same 58:28 have a rule about about getting busy 58:31 though I I can't I can't call that one 58:33 yeah who knows yeah that that was just 58:35 thinking of it now why you got me 58:37 thinking about this now moving on oh my 58:39 god you know when that force line blinis 58:42 okay anyway I want to go to two x ago 58:46 now and when Ray enters the building 58:49 it's like all these dudes are in the 58:53 stadium it's like can can you imagine 58:55 Palpatine getting his city ternal that's 58:57 their names into the stadium seeds 58:59 trying to surprise already like it's a 59:01 birthday party 59:01 like everybody showed up she's coming 59:03 he's coming make a sound or I'll kill 59:05 you one of them like coughs like I 59:08 needed like chokes them out lightning 59:10 blast him yeah like what's a normal day 59:13 for them and those stadium seats you 59:16 know a bigger question who are they 59:19 so yes so again too much hand waving 59:22 like do we have to read everything 59:24 important about this story in the visual 59:27 dictionary companion book so apparently 59:29 the city eternal are just non 59:32 force-sensitive Goths who believe the 59:35 emperor is like the savior I non 59:39 force-sensitive Goths who believe see 59:42 all of that like why are they there so 59:45 I'm you're not for sensitive but you're 59:46 gonna follow after a guy who is for 59:48 sensitive but also looks like rum raisin 59:51 ice cream and you really have no like 59:54 they had no effect in the story like 59:55 just us just seeing the little people 59:58 working 59:58 on the snoke tanks in the beam the film 60:00 would've been all we needed like we 60:01 literally did not need to see them like 60:05 whatsoever there was literally you could 60:07 take them out it would have affected 60:08 anything I mean I guess you know he did 60:10 he didn't need evil MOOCs of some sort 60:12 but why those guys and why don't we get 60:14 some sort I mean the stormtroopers as 60:17 much as I hate the explanation for them 60:18 they have one these guys are just scared 60:21 of dudes on a planet 60:22 how does Papa teen even get to that 60:24 point like you know how does how do you 60:27 just show up right looking like Ivan 60:29 ooze and demand loyalty and fealty from 60:33 a planet of people who have no idea what 60:34 the forces and get it it may have just 60:37 just brought them from different places 60:38 I mean they missed again just God's like 60:40 well a man that that dude that dudes are 60:42 rad let's go follow him I guess yeah but 60:45 yeah I really hope Marvel takes lessons 60:47 from Star Wars in regards to how they 60:48 merge their media like if they have a 60:51 bunch of hand waving in their face for 60:53 movies like Star Wars like it's gonna be 60:55 whack I'm worried about facts I've got 60:57 so many new properties so many shows and 61:00 then they're just all this new stuff 61:01 happening in the comics and so on and so 61:02 forth and yeah they got to be really 61:04 careful but Marvel has a Kevin Feige 61:07 Star Wars does not I have somebody who 61:10 is kind of in that role but I don't 61:12 think she's doing a very good job okay - 61:13 yeah I think they're they're kind of 61:16 slowly kind of phasing her out I think 61:17 my from what I heard I thought Phi Keys 61:19 gonna become the new dude which I mean 61:22 that could be interesting yeah um really 61:26 quick the Knights of Ren were wasted we 61:30 never got any information but they just 61:31 sort of showed up and looked cool and 61:33 fought a little bit but then what 61:34 everyone was excited about them they 61:37 were on the cover of Esquire and 61:38 everything yeah they were some if not 61:40 all them are former students of Luke 61:42 Skywalker 61:43 mm-hmm they didn't do anything as maybe 61:46 except for look cool they surrounded 61:48 kylo and we don't even know if they had 61:50 the ability to kill him or not mm-hmm 61:52 but they're all force sensitive he had 61:55 no lightsaber like they could have think 61:57 they could have him should have killed 61:58 him right there mm-hmm 61:59 they'd even talk like you're a traitor 62:01 or mm-hmm 62:02 they had nothing like that really could 62:04 have been some emotion there even in 62:06 last Jedi phasma talked to Finn about 62:09 being a traitor even kylo Ren yellow 62:12 at Finn my saber like trade are yeah but 62:15 lights are in didn't even do that to 62:17 their own masters there's no Humanity in 62:20 them at all an animal you've got to give 62:22 you've got to give evil nuances and you 62:24 if you're gonna create ambiguity on one 62:25 side you've got to create it on all yes 62:27 I've got others there must be balance in 62:29 the force 62:29 yeah rate kills Palpatine I guess yeah I 62:35 guess what is it about his death this 62:38 time that makes it permanent because we 62:40 all thought it was definitive last time 62:41 I can't pop it I didn't come back in 62:44 other places mm-hmm can a spirit 62:47 transferred to someone else and if 62:49 Palpatine yeah why don't he just jump 62:52 into kylo Ren like what's-his-name from 62:54 Titans domino domino Deathstroke's have 62:59 you seen Titans no okay never mind 63:02 there's that's all I wanted Jericho 63:03 Jericho that's inner yeah I never mind I 63:05 won't spoil it for you but never mind 63:06 moving on yeah this whole like kind of 63:09 Highlander idea of all the SIF spirits 63:12 going into a new person every time they 63:15 die or something like very much so where 63:18 these rules come from like why did a no 63:20 be one or you ought to talk about this 63:21 to Luke why didn't look even say this to 63:24 to Ray yeah again they leveled it up 63:29 without actually bothering to set that 63:30 up in any meaningful way so it's cool 63:34 but so exactly sidenote what's up with 63:38 Palpatine always getting defeated when 63:40 use uses lightning yeah you'd think he'd 63:42 stop yeah like in return the Sith mace 63:44 turn lighting back on him and he forms 63:46 him mm-hmm 63:47 permanently maybe that's why he can't 63:49 close up better because his DNA is 63:51 literally like this way now mm-hmm this 63:55 is a California raisin for life yeah I 63:57 mean if Anakin hadn't shown up in that 63:59 seemed like he would have been dead 64:00 mm-hmm he gets blindsided by Vader and 64:03 toss into the reactor when he's using 64:04 lightning mm-hmm then in this movie he 64:07 clearly sees that Rey is pushing this 64:08 lighting back on him and he keeps going 64:11 which you would think being Palpatine 64:15 like fisa floored the amazing lightsaber 64:18 duel er etc etc etc if you're gonna 64:21 bring him back and you're gonna give 64:22 everybody else phenomenal cosmic powers 64:26 they didn't really give him anything 64:28 extra no he's just sort of he's doing 64:30 the same old tricks and everybody else 64:31 has gotten way better in comparison if 64:33 you've literally sucked the life force 64:35 out of two of the strongest Jedi that 64:37 we've ever seen hmm and you're giving a 64:40 crazy lightning storm to destroying a 64:42 whole fleet of starships why would you 64:45 just go back to just lightning here like 64:48 she she froze both of them in the air 64:50 and that was even before he got their 64:52 life force things like he could have 64:53 easily just frozen her and just ripped 64:55 her apart exactly been touching her 64:57 exactly but I said he starts shooting 64:59 lightning and then he keeps doing it 65:01 like he'd like he doesn't know how to do 65:03 anything else but it was it was me who's 65:05 probably thinking like oh the 65:07 stadium they want to show - aw it's like 65:11 I promised them I'd shoot the lightning 65:12 all right here we here we go it's the 65:14 Encore oh Oh nah no more hand 65:19 waving land oh just going out into the 65:21 galaxy to find more ships whose ships 65:26 but again he's literally just the 65:28 magical negro of the universe he kind of 65:32 shows up in time with more ships it's 65:33 like exactly I get frustrated you 65:39 haven't watched rebels but for those out 65:42 there who do watch rebels the ghost is a 65:44 part of the resistance just like they 65:46 had that ship in rogue one at this point 65:48 for rogue one it made some sense because 65:51 it was a prequel to these movies we 65:52 don't know what happened to them but if 65:54 the ghost is now in the future that 66:00 doesn't make sense because in rebels 66:02 there are new Jedi 66:04 Ezra is a child force sensitive person 66:08 in the end of that series he becomes a 66:10 Jedi essentially so where was he the 66:13 whole time and the commander of that 66:16 ship is one of the original creators of 66:20 the Rebel Alliance I mean she's pretty 66:23 much what Leia should be right now right 66:25 interesting so the fact that she's not 66:27 even in this and we could even see them 66:30 or hear their voice I was really sorry 66:33 are they treating the shows like they're 66:34 not Canon them know they are canon okay 66:37 which is weird then because the 66:39 think that they would take every 66:40 opportunity to bring this stuff in 66:42 you're told he was interesting okay I 66:44 didn't realize how do you feel about 66:46 real Oh kissing you like I seriously 66:49 hollered no thank you at the screen like 66:51 what was that for there was no setup 66:54 first of all I just in my head I have it 66:58 that they are somehow related I know 66:59 they're not but they're like play 67:00 cousins or something and it's just 67:01 there's yeah I mean yeah if Palpatine 67:04 did create Anakin as he kind of like 67:06 kept creepily looking at Anakin during 67:08 their their talk yeah at the Opera and 67:11 he had it and he had a granddaughter 67:13 like aren't they like cousins in some 67:16 way kind of I just but that besides that 67:20 that just didn't work it why are they 67:26 I'm speechless because that I just 67:28 couldn't understand why they would make 67:29 that choice without any kind of setup I 67:31 mean just because they can force time 67:33 each other blah blah blah he's cruel and 67:36 mean and gas lady and mansplaining to 67:38 her she has no personality whatsoever 67:41 this is like literally a match made in 67:43 hell why would they do this 67:46 I guess if she's this empty vessel for 67:47 everybody to tell her I guess it's just 67:49 she can just do whatever yeah yeah 67:51 that's a very good point but I was not 67:54 impressed 67:55 personally what did you think I was I 67:58 didn't hate it I didn't really like it 68:00 either 68:01 for you like Mikey I was just kind of 68:02 very neutral and it's like like yeah 68:04 whatever came out of nowhere I was 68:06 reading though and again I hate that I 68:08 have to read things to to kind of 68:10 understand I understand but the whole 68:13 notion of force healing so when you heal 68:15 someone you're putting part of your life 68:16 force into them and they both kind of 68:19 exchanged life in as I'm supposed to be 68:21 forcing again again they never explained 68:25 it in the movie like bizarre there was 68:27 there's a theory that because Rey puts 68:29 some of her life energy into kylo when 68:31 she killed him it changed his kind of 68:34 spirit and made him a better person but 68:36 again not explained that's we can only 68:39 just kind of guess but it's not even a 68:41 good guess no it's stupid you know 68:42 what's funny what you just said you hate 68:43 that you have to read stuff to to get 68:45 into this it's funny again that's not a 68:48 sign of that that's a sign of poor 68:51 writing yeah because if you look at the 68:52 Watchmen for example 68:53 where you kind of do have to read PDP 68:56 dia to get some of the finer details of 68:57 the show but you don't mind reading it 68:59 do you and it's not that important yeah 69:02 like we tried to learn who ky man was 69:04 but I'm honestly like if they didn't 69:06 talk about it he's not gonna the rest 69:07 destroy the story exactly the rest of it 69:09 hang hung together so well you could 69:10 just get into it even if you didn't read 69:12 this one it doesn't make sense and then 69:14 you read it and it makes even less sense 69:15 and that's annoying 69:19 yeah Rome was kind of wind down here I 69:23 want to talk about what I find was a 69:26 misstep in his trilogy I mean there's a 69:28 lot right just another one that I don't 69:32 think he was talked about is I think 69:34 they should have shown more diversity in 69:36 force powers and use and end users again 69:40 if we have Finn and possibly Jana and 69:44 her crew with force sensitive powers I 69:47 would I would have liked to have seen 69:48 different affinities maybe like so in 69:50 the expanded universe people like Jason 69:53 and Sola could talk to animals 69:54 but he wasn't as strong in battle 69:56 against someone like Luke looks like 69:58 stronger fighter Jana had an affinity 70:00 for machines some could heal something 70:03 to do things not everybody was a fighter 70:05 and not everybody needed to be exactly 70:07 so if you've got a whole community of 70:08 force user suddenly you're right they 70:10 needed to show that there's yeah that 70:12 there's more to the force than just 70:13 being a wizard night and sure like if 70:17 Rey was good at healing then kind of 70:22 built that up maybe but the fact that 70:24 she just showed up on Posada and just 70:25 touched the snake and healed him just 70:27 for reasons you're like what like we can 70:29 do this now yeah exactly 70:31 definitely I know and it doesn't 70:32 surprise anybody write more nobody's 70:35 like wow you healed them they're just 70:36 like yeah the force and they keep going 70:37 yeah like like that could have been 70:39 useful when Finn got his back chopped up 70:41 in the first movie right yeah anyway 70:46 words are we gonna talk about Rose Tico 70:49 yes before I get there I want to cuz I 70:52 do want to get to how the PLC's were 70:54 wasted in this franchise but I went 70:56 about Janna 70:57 the end of the movie has Lando talking 70:59 to Janna and she didn't know who she was 71:01 and Lando so through our listeners know 71:06 who she is again 71:07 from the visual dictionary Lando after 71:12 the return the Jedi wanted to start a 71:13 family we don't know who the wife is but 71:16 apparently they had a daughter and at 71:18 the age of two she was kidnapped and the 71:21 way that the timelines line up Jana 71:25 could possibly be his long-lost daughter 71:27 okay hold on wait a minute so your 71:30 daughter gets kidnapped when you - and 71:32 you still like Colt 45 and around the 71:33 galaxy like all right all right hey like 71:36 really that should change a person but 71:37 they don't instead of see now Star Wars 71:44 is not the deepest property out there 71:45 no right you the most of the characters 71:47 don't have particularly well-developed 71:49 sense of inferiority but you can't 71:53 introduce that level of trauma and not 71:56 do something with it yeah it's in a book 71:58 it's just and I even like his his own 72:02 like novel it's just a blurb in a in a 72:05 little visual dictionary it's it's so 72:08 stupid and the fact that he like has 72:10 this well let's find out who you are 72:12 it's like Donald Trump talking to Ivanka 72:15 yeah yeah very much so because you know 72:18 again without reading you have no idea 72:20 what the relationship between them might 72:22 be and it just comes across as creepy 72:24 yeah and she's given him better my eyes 72:26 too like yeah let's find out yeah it's 72:28 really not it's a very awkward scene 72:31 without it I hated that scene yeah that 72:34 gets one of the last scenes of the film 72:35 that's what sticks with you leave just 72:37 like wow why did you do that like do 72:40 another take yes because that came it 72:43 just came across as awkward Rose Tico 72:48 yeah telling retrain like I pour one out 72:50 for her man like yeah cuz you know she 72:52 left Twitter and everything else for no 72:54 reason no reason bro according to slate 72:58 roaster you had one minute and 16 73:01 seconds of screen time I kept looking to 73:05 see if she was gonna I kept expecting 73:07 her to be in more things and she 73:10 literally there was just her face twice 73:11 can you imagine the look on her face at 73:14 the screening like in front of her 73:16 friends and family she probably brought 73:18 with her can you imagine I mean I'm 73:20 surprised she didn't 73:21 he'll at the first reading the table 73:24 reading for the script although I could 73:26 see where she wouldn't want to because 73:27 she's in Star Wars you can't really 73:29 complain too much about a property like 73:31 that but yeah well apparently she filmed 73:34 a scene with ray like like she got more 73:37 stuff but does he cut it off so and 73:40 maybe she didn't know until she got 73:41 there like I don't I don't know the 73:42 story and the way that Disney does these 73:45 these press junkets I mean Jada Abrams 73:48 was talking about oh yeah 73:49 me and Ron Johnson or cool man like we 73:51 talked and we tried to like merge story 73:53 together and like that's obviously a lie 73:55 yeah if they did they did a really bad 73:57 job it's a lie it's obviously a lie and 73:59 you know I I haven't really seen the 74:01 preciousness for kilmury trance for this 74:03 but I don't think she's been in very 74:05 many which is telling right but yeah I 74:08 mean but to be fair even with this 74:11 they're not really doing a lot of press 74:13 for this movie I don't think I feel like 74:15 they don't have to and I think that a 74:16 lot of the other a lot of the actors in 74:18 this movie have other stuff coming out 74:20 around the same time so I've seen I've 74:22 seen Adam driver talking a lot about a 74:24 marriage story mm-hmm and very little 74:26 about Star Wars I kind of feel like the 74:27 actors know that this isn't kind of it I 74:29 think they're all kind of they're 74:31 excited to be in Star Wars but they're 74:32 not interested in engaging with the 74:34 press machine yeah I wouldn't either I 74:37 mean the thing again Star Wars is the 74:40 best and worst thing about the nerd 74:41 universe no matter people are always 74:43 gonna have something to say and very 74:44 little of it will be flattering I mean I 74:46 just at the beginning of this I said the 74:48 movie is fine and then I've just spent 74:49 the last hour ripping it to pieces so 74:50 you know but it's not the actress fault 74:53 I will say that no hmm I think she's 74:55 great 74:56 hmm um I wrote in the article that I 74:58 think she gave one of if not the best 75:00 line of the last Jedi she was like 75:02 that's how we're gonna win not by 75:04 fighting what we hate but saving will be 75:06 love right unfortunately well her whole 75:10 plotline was poorly put together did you 75:15 know that in this film she was promoted 75:17 to being the leader of the engineering 75:20 corpse of the resistance I mean I 75:22 figured there was a reason she was 75:23 standing in the room with all the 75:24 important people but good for them for 75:26 not explaining that at all jeez yeah I 75:29 mean like they literally went out of 75:32 their way to make thin and poe generals 75:34 now 75:35 but they couldn't even yeah cuz they 75:38 brought back the Pete and Jung go as a 75:39 cricket frog I mean yeah I mean they 75:43 really did it was like they Jedi hand 75:45 wave like see we brought them back 75:47 this is diversity not really I mean Rose 75:51 did tell them that to destroy the start 75:53 of Shor's they have to shoot the cannons 75:55 but again they'd even they could even 75:56 give her a title or nothing like they 76:00 went to that planet to hack 3p oh but if 76:02 she's the engineering yeah they didn't 76:04 ask her yeah yes I'm just like she could 76:07 have had more to do you literally went 76:09 out of your way to like light-years away 76:12 from her to set up like four new 76:15 characters yeah who were interesting and 76:17 probably should have been introduced 76:19 away earlier but yeah I mean the whole 76:21 like poll used to be a scoundrel was 76:24 like well I mean I actually found that 76:27 kind of interesting I kind of liked that 76:29 there was a whole bit where everybody 76:30 was like you were a spice right I know 76:31 you were a storm trooper like leave me 76:33 alone 76:33 and that kind of set up the character 76:35 cuz I feel like Poe is get so much love 76:37 within this new trilogy but he's not 76:40 they'd haven't really done much with his 76:41 character he's just kind of a guy who's 76:43 there who's really rude and 76:45 disrespectful to everybody so the fact 76:47 that they tried to give him a little bit 76:49 more I actually like that I just thought 76:51 I always saw Poe as a emerging of wedge 76:57 antilles 76:57 or wedge wedge antilles yeah wedge 77:00 antilles 77:01 and Han and that like western Emma story 77:03 he's just always been a great pilot and 77:06 you know Hans just has a smart mouth and 77:08 so just having Poe just be a great pilot 77:12 like to me that was fine and like if 77:15 they would have introduced that earlier 77:17 hmm I would have cared if activate is 77:20 kind of just again went out of their way 77:21 away from other style like other carries 77:24 that we could have learned more about in 77:25 and and got deeper into you just set up 77:29 new people for no reason I that right I 77:32 liked the new people I just wish they'd 77:34 been brought in earlier but again it was 77:35 JJ Abrams saying yeah like basic yes 77:40 apparently because I think he probably 77:42 if he had done the second movie he would 77:44 have brought them in earlier but he 77:45 didn't so he was just trying to cram 77:47 everything else he wanted to do into 77:48 this movie 77:49 sure which didn't what didn't work I 77:51 mean it was I mean it was fine but yeah 77:53 yeah yeah point out for Rose man yeah I 77:57 feel really sorry for her there they 77:59 really should have if they're gonna be 78:00 considering the amount of abuse she's 78:02 taken speaking of a feminist narrative 78:04 considering the amount of abuse she's 78:06 taken both for race racial issues and 78:08 also because she's a woman who has the 78:11 nerve to be in Star Wars that they 78:15 really paid her dust in this movie 78:16 because that actress deserved a much 78:18 better storyline if she's gonna have to 78:20 because she's gonna have to put up with 78:21 more of this crap and now she's gonna 78:23 have to put up with see it's that 78:25 important you were there after all 78:26 because she's only in a minute of this 78:27 movie 78:28 that's my troll a troll on Twitter is he 78:30 he's literally clicking the Rose Tico 78:32 hashtags on every tweet and trying to 78:35 like ruffle feathers 78:37 that's gross it's sad Mike and I told 78:39 him like I'm not doing this with you 78:40 that's really gross 78:45 the lead actor for Aladdin I don't know 78:47 his name but apparently he has not 78:49 gotten any offers after the film's 78:51 release which I yeah really yeah and I 78:56 feel bad about that and I really hope 78:57 that kilmury train doesn't suffer the 78:59 same fate yeah I don't know what all 79:01 she's in I think she's I don't know yeah 79:04 hmm 79:04 this is the problem is that we don't 79:06 have the gift of mediocrity in the same 79:08 way that other people do we can't make a 79:10 Justice League and be awful in it and 79:11 then still get the medium spread of 79:14 Vogue like what's his name Ezra Miller 79:16 whoever you know or write that garbage 79:18 yeah and get a chance to write Star Wars 79:20 exactly I mean it's not fair at all and 79:24 as much as I am in the make-your-own 79:25 camp of sci-fi and speculative fiction 79:29 cultural properties like I'm not 79:31 impressed that The Witcher has black 79:32 characters that's still some really 79:33 white but I think that in this 79:37 situation it's just it just goes to show 79:39 that there's still so much inequity in 79:40 Hollywood totally not and I think that 79:44 often the prevalent narratives about it 79:46 are not necessarily the truest ones to 79:48 be fair even the ones that I that are 79:50 that sound like they're on the side of 79:52 right completely ignore the real issues 79:54 in in the industry 79:56 Star Wars is very much a white male 80:00 liberal movie 80:03 the characterization of these POCs and 80:05 even women I think we're very much seen 80:07 through a white male liberal lens yeah I 80:10 mean but again it's these these guys who 80:13 are very much or on the side of right 80:14 and they're doing all the right things 80:15 but because there's such a lack of depth 80:18 and understanding and understanding that 80:21 people besides you have in Terry already 80:23 I mean look at the Watchmen the 80:25 brilliant thing about the Watchmen is 80:26 that all of the characters regardless of 80:28 their background had a sense of 80:29 character or a sense of humanity a sense 80:31 of depth Star Wars again is not 80:33 necessarily a deep property but if 80:35 you're going to make these choices to 80:37 include people of color to include 80:40 people who are not the typical fantasy 80:43 hero you've got to do it in a way that 80:47 is not shallow totally because I mean 80:52 look at we were all really happy to see 80:53 Han back because he's not a shallow 80:55 character I totally agree yeah I don't 80:57 know I think there's a lot going on with 80:59 that I'm trying to find what else Kelly 81:01 Marie Tran has been in because I'm sure 81:02 she's been in something else before the 81:05 last Jedi she had nothing yeah yeah she 81:07 was she was brand-new which I was really 81:09 she was quit acting in so she got this 81:11 which she still might 81:14 yes I'm saying yeah yeah after all this 81:16 abuse like she was in something called 81:21 sorry for your loss with the lady who 81:23 played Scarlet Witch in 2018 okay she's 81:26 done some Star Wars voices cool she was 81:29 in the Croods too huh I don't know what 81:32 that is it doesn't look good 81:33 the posters like cavemen I don't have 81:35 kids so I'm not sure if I wouldn't know 81:37 what that is yeah she's been in a couple 81:40 of things but ya know we all the Croods 81:42 2 comes out next year but there's not a 81:46 lot on her and everything else is very 81:48 much like like her credits or things 81:51 like boba chick butterfly raise grief 81:53 girl things like that I really yeah 81:56 that's a shame I would love to see her 81:59 and Jana getting like a women of color 82:04 TV show hmm like even sub miniseries 82:08 mm-hmm because in the novel's this is in 82:11 the article I wrote but in the novel's 82:13 mm-hmm 82:14 Rose and her sister pay 82:16 the one who died in last Jedi they 82:19 actually help create or they I think 82:21 themselves developed stealth technology 82:24 for for bombers hmm and hold old lady 82:27 who life speeded through smoke ship 82:29 mm-hmm brought them into the resistance 82:31 mm-hmm and you would have gotten that 82:33 from her to standing by an escape pod 82:34 xanthine brothers so yeah it's not 82:37 really fair that all of the most 82:38 exciting parts of those characters 82:40 stories take place outside of the movies 82:41 I feel like they should have those 82:44 movies didn't have enough direction to 82:45 really give you the good stuff yeah so I 82:47 hope they can to like kind of help 82:50 rectify this I would love to get kind of 82:52 a Mandalorian quality of production for 82:55 these for these ladies too no team up 82:57 and do something cool mmm cuz Gianna had 83:00 a lot going of going on for herself too 83:01 she was obviously brave and mm-hmm again 83:04 she she and her company committed mutiny 83:06 and she became the leader of those 83:07 people right and that's just an 83:09 interesting story in and of itself yeah 83:11 just the little bit I was like ooh tell 83:13 me more about that and that didn't 83:14 happen she's she's familiar with bombs a 83:17 detonation that means she has that kind 83:18 of skills she's a marksman she shot 83:20 things at the sky with a bow and arrow 83:22 and in the movie I mean she has a lot of 83:25 skills and I would love to see more of 83:27 her yeah she was way more interesting 83:30 than some of the other characters 83:31 absolutely but hey Luke came back he 83:34 didn't need to yeah and again that was 83:37 another like F you did right Johnson 83:38 like totally don't feel my lights every 83:41 way yeah exactly 83:42 mm-hmm yeah let's do everything else esé 83:47 not really I mean I 83:50 returning to my original thesis it was 83:52 fine mmm it wasn't amazing it was just a 83:55 movie I mean if I saw it without any 83:57 context at all I'd be like okay this is 83:59 interesting but I think because Star 84:02 Wars is built up so big it's hard to 84:05 look at it neutrally I didn't think it 84:07 was terrible but I don't think it was 84:09 good either it was more watchable than 84:12 last Jedi the story was better put 84:17 together but clearly they were trying to 84:19 tell a story that was never intended to 84:21 be told so I don't know it's not my 84:26 favorite 84:28 yeah I have more to say but a lot of it 84:34 is about the use of POCs and it's in the 84:37 articles so check that out on the 84:39 Facebook page I'll put a link under 84:40 there folks when I have a look at that 84:42 and let's cut to you want to do a 84:46 ranking or your net at all well here 84:48 I'll work with you on your ranking cuz I 84:50 want to see what you have to say okay 84:51 yeah that's fair number eleven attack of 84:54 the clones that's for number 11 that's 84:56 my like least favorite really I really 84:59 can't even after seeing this one I 85:01 really can't remember anything from taco 85:02 clones outside of Mesa cutting out 85:04 cutting off Django's head and the final 85:06 fight with you bouncing around I can't 85:08 remember a thing else from the movie 85:09 like literally I can't Wow okay oh he 85:12 anakin whining about so III killed the 85:15 women and the children this will be one 85:17 he's always holding me back okay now 85:19 that as an actor who's disappeared and 85:20 he deserved to that was just wow such a 85:24 bad performance anyway I don't know if 85:26 it was the writing or him but wow yeah 85:28 so again that whiny Anakin part alone 85:31 was just like yeah this is no mm-hmm 85:34 number 10 is Raisa Skywalker for me okay 85:36 number nine The Phantom Menace yeah 85:41 again the only part that the movie I 85:42 remember is the final fight with qui-gon 85:44 obi-wan and Darth Maul I remember that I 85:47 remember in pod racing being really 85:49 disappointed yeah pod racing was 85:50 disappointing for me I just remember 85:53 thinking though it was well yeah but I 85:55 remember thinking it was just really 85:56 they took it to a place that was 85:58 unnecessarily juvenile life maybe yeah 86:01 Jar Jar yeah yeah just and just that was 86:04 where we got the idea of midi-chlorians 86:05 and when they retrofitted the Jedi to 86:08 make him kind of lame 86:09 you know like space jehovah's witnesses 86:12 it wasn't cool i'm a switch phantom 86:16 medicine right let's guy walking in 86:17 hindsight alright yeah it's alright 86:21 skywalker is my number nine no offense 86:23 to jehovah's witnesses it's just that 86:24 you know the Jedi were like knocking on 86:26 people's doors like do you believe in 86:27 the power of the force I mean yeah it 86:28 was weird 86:29 number eight mmm-hmm would be a range of 86:33 the Sith okay that's interesting okay 86:38 why so low I thought it was the best of 86:41 the prequels 86:42 it is so that's why it's above the other 86:44 the prequel yeah okay but my whole thing 86:46 is I really liked the final fight with 86:52 obi-wan and Anakin there are some bits 86:54 of the choreography in that film that 86:56 felt a bit over the top and unpractical 86:59 like there's a member the part where 87:01 obi-wan and Anakin are literally like 87:04 kind of nunchuck in their lightsabers 87:06 around each other for like two seconds 87:08 before me clash again it's like yeah why 87:10 is this why are you showing off really 87:12 in like this board yeah of all the 87:15 fights in the trilogy that had the most 87:17 emotional weight and it was really cool 87:19 in some parts but part the parts is 87:21 uneven miss against the Emperor was 87:22 pretty cool but the way that Palpatine 87:24 just dispatched a lot of the Jedi 87:26 Masters he wrote it with him in like one 87:29 strike like hit fist oh he's in the 87:31 Clone Wars he's voiced by Phil Lamarr 87:33 actually and the way that that kind of 87:37 happened was kind of weird to me 87:38 Anakin just being whiny mmm the senator 87:41 is evil well it from my point of view 87:43 the Jedi are evil I mean just terrible 87:46 lines yeah was the dialogue in all three 87:49 of the prequels ridiculously bad and 87:51 soullow just edges edges it out to me 87:53 mmm interesting okay fair enough 87:56 I think Solo was kind of needless but if 87:59 you take it away from the hype in the 88:03 end kind of the bad energy that the last 88:05 should I kind of yeah this eve yeah it 88:08 was pretty good I like Solo better than 88:10 I have any of the other new movies 88:13 frankly yeah yeah I felt like it was 88:17 more authentic to the tone but I don't 88:19 think it was a story we needed and it 88:20 wasn't ultimately it didn't add anything 88:22 to the character of Han Solo at all but 88:24 and enjoyable that reason I think lasted 88:28 I again just edges that out interesting 88:31 because even though I had problems with 88:32 the last Jedi I liked I was curious 88:35 about what it was gonna send him because 88:36 if you're gonna toss out bloodline at 88:38 that point and if you're gonna start 88:40 having other people like those kids mmm 88:43 be inspired again I put an article but I 88:45 was very upset that the children that 88:47 rose inspired with her hair ISM mm-hmm 88:49 we never see their fate right yeah and I 88:51 thought was wack I kind of thought 88:52 before the new trailer came out for a 88:55 Skye 88:55 I thought that maybe she would be maybe 88:58 teaching those kids like Luke started to 89:01 teach his students and maybe I thought I 89:03 told you before I thought there's gonna 89:04 be kind of a raise 89:05 mmm people against kylo and the Knights 89:08 of Ren yeah really cool yeah would have 89:13 been definitely I have to be honest I 89:15 would put that movie so much lower than 89:16 you because I hated it the plotting was 89:18 so bad and it made me angry like it was 89:20 I saw what it was trying to do but it 89:22 just did it so badly and it just did me 89:26 there was one scene in that movie that I 89:28 liked and that was when Rey and kylo 89:30 decide to like go crazy on the guards 89:34 and do their own thing and I'm like okay 89:35 this could be interesting 89:37 why are we doing why are we still paying 89:39 attention to the force however many 89:41 years later it hasn't been anybody any 89:42 good let's do something different and 89:44 then it's a fight and that's it and 89:45 there's nothing else new and that's kind 89:47 of thing I I think all the films from 89:50 last should I below all try to do 89:52 something he didn't do it well and I 89:54 think that of all them last should I was 89:57 the most was the most daring and and 90:01 even though I didn't like it 90:02 watching Raisa Skywalker it kind of made 90:06 me retro actively respect the choices 90:08 more and kind of gave me more 90:09 imagination of where things could go and 90:11 so I gave it respect I man level it's 90:13 not it's number six it's not like it's 90:15 the best okay five the force awakens 90:24 yeah I had such high hopes I did and 90:28 when I first watched it I was like like 90:32 the opening week I would like stop the 90:34 laser blast you're like Jesus Christ 90:36 yeah what are we about to get into yeah 90:38 yeah and then it just it was a new hope 90:42 only bigger and kind of different yeah 90:45 but not all that different before we go 90:48 on I want to go back to last should i 90:49 well my favorite scenes was the opening 90:51 with Poe and how he like f with hawks 90:54 like he like make that made the call to 90:56 Huck's and he's like oh yeah looks like 90:58 talking this you're there will be 91:00 no no sir no negotiation joy he's like 91:03 Hello I completely forgot about that 91:05 part and the scene where he is 91:09 there's a scene where he goes around 91:12 these two starfighters these two tie 91:14 fighters in and blasts them was such a 91:16 cool scene it just it really showed why 91:18 he was the best pilot in the galaxy Wow 91:21 okay that scene was really really cool 91:22 to see I don't remember any of that I I 91:24 would recommend like it's like it's on 91:26 Netflix now no it's not I think well 91:30 it's off now it's on what VPN you right 91:33 but yes so if you can yeah that scene 91:35 was really cool okay 91:36 see how force we can see I was fine it 91:39 has problems really again the fact that 91:41 you know rate because Oh was really 91:43 weird to me but overall it was a cool 91:46 step when it was over with I was like 91:48 okay let's see where it goes 91:50 yeah and then what I said I was kind of 91:52 like oh yeah I mean let's see I mean I 91:54 kind of want to see where this goes but 91:56 yeah I was like I was really maybe 91:59 that's why I'm not as as did she are 92:01 like about this final film as as you 92:03 were because the the thing that the last 92:05 one I did for me was just pull my 92:08 expectations down to rock bottom no mine 92:10 where to don't get me wrong but they 92:12 still mm-hmm 92:13 it was like that Malcolm in the Middle 92:15 with the do we he was like I expected 92:20 nothing but I'm still disappointed yeah 92:24 it's been dark I got you yes film right 92:27 yeah where you expect nothing but there 92:29 was one good scene in that whole film it 92:31 was a reshoot so yeah oh my homey 92:33 um John Carlos Evans he's part of black 92:36 nerd problems he was running out there 92:37 was like a Dark Phoenix seemed rude you 92:38 know 92:39 kyla and Ray are like doing that whole 92:42 kind of yelling and pulling up their 92:44 hands oh yeah transport mm-hmm 92:47 and before return the Jedi mm-hmm number 92:50 three a new hope and number two number 92:53 three I think rogue one is better 92:57 mmm I think a new hope is a classic 93:00 mm-hmm but I think it starts out really 93:03 slow like I remember when I first 93:05 watched it when I Richard it from 93:07 Hollywood video when I was 11 and I fell 93:10 asleep I think two or three times 93:12 mmm before I actually sat down and 93:14 watched the whole thing I did you live 93:17 though because this is something I've 93:18 often wondered about myself you will 93:20 lived oh you were in st. Louis time 93:21 right okay 93:21 so when I first saw it we had lived in 93:24 Arizona for a minute so it was something 93:26 kind of cool to me but I think it's just 93:28 a personal thing but I think it was 93:29 something cool to me about seeing all 93:30 that desert as like a fantasy setting 93:32 mm-hmm yeah I don't know something yeah 93:35 I don't know it really I don't know 93:36 a new hope would be maybe tied with 93:39 rogue one for me or maybe slightly over 93:41 it 93:41 I mean yeah I mean it isn't like New 93:44 Hope is again December 3 it's not God 93:45 it's not bad it mighty means it's very 93:47 good yeah it's good but yeah I think it 93:50 doesn't really pick up until I think a 93:53 new hope and rug one complement each 93:55 other perfectly which i think is really 93:56 difficult to do because but I think you 93:58 have to have seen a new hope to 93:59 understand just how wild that final seam 94:02 of Darth Vader at the end actually it is 94:04 what ham yo cuz you know he's scary in 94:07 the beginning of a new hope but you're 94:09 like okay but then you don't really see 94:11 him do anything too terrible that he 94:12 kind of forced chokes a guy I maybe was 94:14 tired I mean he just killed everybody I 94:17 mean yeah so you know you don't really 94:19 see them do anything too wild but then 94:21 you know that the mucosa Vader is built 94:23 up through the whole rest of that 94:25 trilogy and then you see rogue one and 94:26 you're like aha 94:27 now that's how you retrofit something 94:29 and make it make sense yes so because of 94:32 all that all that where the rogue one 94:34 had to do I mean it was a movie that did 94:36 even I mean if you don't count Vader it 94:38 wasn't reliant on the force I mean of 94:40 course you know it was great 94:44 I'm so sad we had to wait 30 years to 94:46 get Donnie yet you know in a Star Wars 94:48 movie he should have been in the first 94:49 well was he around yeah he was he should 94:51 have been in the first one so yeah so 94:53 what was number two and I think almost 94:55 everyone well universities say that 94:57 Empire Strikes Back 94:58 it totally is it's the only one that I 95:01 regularly rewatch it really holds that I 95:03 will say this also about rogue one is 95:05 that I so I'm not I'll maybe watch one 95:09 trailer or two trailers but I was so 95:11 disappointed in the way that the Star 95:13 Wars films were going and I was really 95:15 annoyed at what I perceived to be a 95:17 Disney moneygrab by making like extra 95:19 Star Wars story movies but I didn't know 95:21 anything about rogue one when I went to 95:23 see it and that's part of why I liked it 95:24 so much is that it it surprised me I 95:26 didn't know what it was I didn't realize 95:27 I already knew what the story was until 95:30 I was about thirty minutes into the 95:31 movie and I was like oh 95:33 oh this is that and when you see it 95:35 fresh like that it's a really good film 95:37 yeah so that's part of why I liked it so 95:40 much also yeah totally and I think 95:43 that's what these new Star Wars films 95:44 are missing the hype machines so big 95:46 around Star Wars that even if you try to 95:48 go into it without knowing anything you 95:49 want to be fresh you want to really see 95:51 a new story it's hard to do that and 95:53 with force awakens I mean that was one 95:56 that's that was one of the big events 95:59 where I was like I can't watch her was 96:00 anymore mm-hmm because you try to sell 96:03 me on this brother as being a Jedi you 96:05 put in you put in the poster even I cape 96:07 and avoid that mhm and you lied to me so 96:09 and then you have this hype machine now 96:12 of JJ Abrams oh yeah me and Ryan justify 96:14 it are totally fine I totally you know 96:16 we sync the movie everything's great 96:17 that's all these lies around this 96:19 product I just I don't like the 96:22 marketing machine anymore yeah I don't 96:24 want yeah because and because it's not 96:26 focused on any of the things that are 96:27 actually good about the property as well 96:29 so like more even in it yeah right 96:31 exactly 96:32 mm-hm totally anything else no yeah I 96:38 your list is interesting thank you I 96:42 hope you watch Clone Wars before we talk 96:45 again I'll go back I mean I saw the 96:47 first season ages ago I watched it with 96:49 with some kids I know well that sounds 96:52 creepy in retrospect that's not meant to 96:53 be creepy I was babysitting I was big I 96:55 was babysitting okay I wasn't just like 96:57 come here little boy I have Star Wars 96:59 not like that make anyone was gonna take 97:02 it there but good yeah but just in case 97:04 um but yeah so I saw the first season 97:08 but I haven't watched any more of it I 97:09 probably should get back into it cuz it 97:11 does sound really good and I remember 97:13 watching it was really good if I seems 97:15 brah it's just been incredible like time 97:18 man there's like eighty two seasons of 97:19 extra Star Wars stuff and there's books 97:21 and there's other ones there's there's 97:23 so much stuff out there now there's so 97:25 much good I mean the fantasy world I 97:27 love that fantasy is popular again but 97:29 it's there's so much stuff to get into 97:31 and so much stuff I'm waiting for that 97:33 is yeah well keep mine then the last 97:36 season of Clone Wars comes out next year 97:38 and we're probably that's to talk about 97:40 you caught up yeah definitely yeah but 97:42 in the meantime I you know watching The 97:44 Witcher I am I when I watched last 97:49 should I had to cleanse my palate and I 97:51 just rewatch Clone Wars rebels again oh 97:52 I feel like I'm probably gonna do the 97:54 same with this movie cool ok The Witcher 97:57 huh I like it yeah yeah I don't care 98:00 that there's inclusion of pocs or 98:02 whatever it's still severely white but 98:04 it's a good story it's just fantasy 98:05 meathead stuff it's run it's not people 98:08 are comparing it to Game of Thrones 98:09 which isn't fair because first of all 98:11 Game of Thrones was an even game of 98:12 Thrones by the end and second it's just 98:17 not the same story it's a lot more basic 98:19 Game of Thrones was trying to be a 98:21 subversion reversion reboot of so many 98:23 fantasy tropes whereas The Witcher is 98:25 basically like okay here's a guy who 98:27 does magic things he goes and fights 98:29 magic things and at the end he gets the 98:32 girl kind of the end right like it's 98:34 just it's not that deep okay it's just 98:37 fun mmm well anyway people out there we 98:43 have gone over way over to ever time let 98:46 us know what you all think of Star Wars 98:49 rise of Skywalker are you all interested 98:52 in seeing more movies
