Han Took Shots First Ep 30: The Mandalorian Ch 12 - The Siege
30 Plays3 hours ago
On this episode, we discuss The Mandalorian Chapter 12, in which Mando swings by Navarro for some much needed spaceship repairs, only to get roped into helping Greef Karga and Cara Dune blow up what’s supposed to be an abandoned Imperial base, but in Star Wars, “abandoned” always means full of stormtroopers. Inside, they stumble on creepy cloning experiments while Baby Yoda enjoys a day at space preschool and proves that even Force-sensitive toddlers need creamy blue cookies.

Introduction and Overview of 'The Siege'
00:00:00
Speaker
rookie at the same time
00:00:37
Speaker
Welcome back to Han Took Shots First. I'm Derek. I'm Jack. And this is Chapter 12 of The Mandalorian, The Siege. o They're always after my siege.
00:00:51
Speaker
Original air date, November of 2020.
Carl Weathers as Director
00:00:56
Speaker
So some people were still on lockdown, but we live in Arizona. So they were like, hey, whatever, dude. Go die. Go die in whatever form you see fit.
00:01:07
Speaker
It's your freedom to choose how you die. And this one directed by one Mr. Carl Weathers. Fuck yeah. So that's pretty cool. had We had talked about that before, i think, on the episode, one of the ones with Werner Herzog, where Carl Weathers was very inquisitive and just wanted to learn from him.
00:01:28
Speaker
Yeah. I think he was definitely going, would would have had more time, would have been a big director, that of movies we like at least. Imagine him doing a schlocky comedy action.
00:01:39
Speaker
Yeah, because I don't know exactly what to do. I looked through his credits and it was mostly just a lot of TV. ah The thing I saw the most of was eight episodes of Silk Stockings, which I only have to mention because it feels like almost every movie we talk about that was either in the 80s or 90s on Bad Movies, Worst People.
00:01:57
Speaker
At least one of those people was in Silk Stockings. Well, we've been toying with doing silk stockings for our Patreon latchkey vids. We'll have to choose one of the Carl Weathers
Production Timing and COVID-19
00:02:08
Speaker
ones.
00:02:08
Speaker
Yeah, I like that. Yeah. And then written again by Jon Favreau and George Lucas because he has to get credit. Of course I do, bitch. It was my notebook.
00:02:20
Speaker
So I did read some stuff on this one. So this episode was in production when chapter one aired. So that's why they were able to get this out with COVID and everything going on because they were coasting through. They were done by the time COVID kicked in. So there was actually an interview and I remember reading about it back when it
Interview with Jon Favreau
00:02:40
Speaker
happened. I just didn't remember it until I saw it in the IMDb trivia.
00:02:44
Speaker
But there was like an interview or some kind of press conference or something with ah Jon Favreau. And he was like, oh, yeah. um What the fuck's her name? Cara Dune. Gina Carano was just fighting aliens in a sewer right before this press conference.
00:03:02
Speaker
Weird. it Turns out she thought they were lizard people that were running our government.
00:03:09
Speaker
I had to stop him from getting to those space lasers.
More Baby Yoda Scenes
00:03:11
Speaker
You know which ones. um can we cut the Can we cut her mic? i is just Can I be like Ronnie Cox, dude?
00:03:21
Speaker
And you can see it in this episode, but apparently Carl Weathers' only note when he got the script was, more baby Yoda. Yeah, good note. We've talked about it before. I know your brother's like the only person I can think of that I know of that's, damn, somebody's got the zoomies, that ah didn't like the the gimmick.
00:03:40
Speaker
Well, he's like in his early 30s, and so this was this was five years ago, so he was in his late twenty s He's like, don't need that fucking baby shit. Yeah, but you're talking to two of the little most little kid haters.
00:03:52
Speaker
but like Between the two of us, don't like baby shit. and I don't like gimmicks either. I don't like cutesy tootsy stuff for no good reason. This fucking works, and it is everything I just complained that I said I don't want.
00:04:04
Speaker
This little baby steals someone's cookies, and it's hilarious. I love it. Should have given him one of the cookies. Now you got none, you idiot. Well, and yeah, so i mean you can see it in this episode because when Carl Weathers...
00:04:16
Speaker
greets baby Yoda. He's just like, come here, you a little bastard. And you, give me that little fucking baby. I want to hold him. I want to be on screen with him. I want that baby, baby, baby, baby. Well, we start with a lot of him because he's the tiniest mechanic.
00:04:28
Speaker
They're trying to get to... ah Whatever. Dave Navarro. Well, they're originally they're trying to get to Cordova or whatever. remember anymore what that city was called.
00:04:39
Speaker
It's pronounced Cara Dune. So he's got... They're trying to land in Cara's Dune. He's got the baby... Down inside this little hatch. the No, take the red wire. Okay, look. Show me the red wire. Cool. That one.
00:04:53
Speaker
Put that one where you took the blue one out. Don't let him touch. And the baby's doing these cues like, huh? Huh? And he fucking plugs the blue. He's like, no. Don't that. Take the out and put it.
00:05:06
Speaker
It's very um baby Groot. Yes. With the bomb at the end of
Navarro's Transformation
00:05:11
Speaker
Guardians of the Galaxy 2. I don't know. I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot.
00:05:16
Speaker
But, of course, so like the third or fourth time he's like, do not touch the wires. He just goes, huh? I mean, what gave you any sort of inkling that this baby speaks your language?
00:05:28
Speaker
Well, he even said, well, the kid does because he's like, do you see the red one? And he holds up the red one. And he's like, now you see the blue one? And he holds up the blue one. But he's just like. He's not connecting all of steps. He had a 50-50 chance of holding up the correct one. That's fair.
00:05:45
Speaker
but like I mean, he does say right after the kid zaps himself, he's like, well, it was worth a shot. yeah He didn't think it was going to work, but he's like, this is our this is our best chance without having to stop somewhere else. If it works, we can, don't to say fly, because the thing's barely flying. We can get to. he's He's definitely trying to hotwire his hyperdrive, which seems like something you shouldn't do.
00:06:05
Speaker
yeah Yeah, I'm not a mechanic on Earth, let alone up in the space. ah but i don't think you should hotwire a hyperdrive. Something that bends the you know laws of physics, as it were. So, yes, they have to go back to Navarro to get repairs.
00:06:21
Speaker
And we cut to all these Ponda Baba dudes. don't remember the name of the race, but got Ponda Baba. Come on, the hands of the day.
00:06:32
Speaker
Aqualish. Yes. Holy shit. I was like, dude, it's in there. I know it's in there. We just got to root rip it right out. And you did good. i was like, it's not Aldinian.
00:06:45
Speaker
I don't know any other A's. Yeah, that worked. Uh,
Where to Find the Podcast
00:06:51
Speaker
So in their universe, there's a band called Aqualish, and they're like, they do Come on Barbie, Let's Go Party, but in their language. So it's like, Oh, yeah. There's just a twillick in the back. panda girl in a panda world.
00:07:07
Speaker
Come on, panda. Let's go, Baba. ah My friend likes your band. i like your band also. We've got a record deal in 12 systems.
00:07:22
Speaker
Jesus Christ. Some stupid shit. Dumb, dumb. but And I know you've been hanging out with me too long because you're in on that joke now. All those references are like you're you're you're in, dude. Sorry.
00:07:36
Speaker
Well, I know it's too late because you were talking about all the stuff with on our last episode with Bo-Katan and the cartoons. And I was like, well, we're talking about those episodes. Yeah, we're going to watch the Bo-Katan episodes.
00:07:50
Speaker
But this is where our background, for those watching on ah visual medium, get where they get the visuals. Only on YouTube soon, because I didn't mention at the top, and I'm going to mention it real quick. mention These are available on Bad Movies, Worst People main feed right now. So go to Bad Movies, Worst People on whatever system your... system Whatever system you're wanted on. Whatever system you're listening on.
00:08:14
Speaker
Whatever platform you're listening on. This is a mess. That's the one. down And follow Bad Movies, Worst People to get these episodes because I think you'll i'm at the end of season two here, I think is when I'm going to switch it over to only being there, which unfortunately means if you listen on Spotify and you like to watch the videos,
00:08:34
Speaker
For now, at least, I won't be able to put the video on Spotify.
Cara Dune and Female Empowerment
00:08:37
Speaker
So videos will only be on YouTube, which is how it's not. that It's not that hard. It's not that different. And we're just trying to make Derek's life easier so we can give you more content. That's it.
00:08:46
Speaker
The videos won't only be on YouTube, by the way. They will also be ah Patreon dot com slash worst people, where for only three dollars a month, you can get all these episodes early ad free and uncut like a psychic porn star. I knew it was coming. Yeah.
00:09:01
Speaker
but I mentioned it because this is where this, our background comes from. It's this concept art of this first episode. It's great. I mean that fire weasel is doing some work that we didn't get to see. Yeah. We didn't see that. However, there is at the end when Cara Dune comes in here and beats the shit out. All these guys, that last guy she shoots, his face is half toasted. So I feel like this may have been shot and maybe it just didn't work. Or maybe someone was like, that's too brutal for Disney. Why would she need to come save them? If it could do that, Yeah.
00:09:32
Speaker
But I like it. I like this scene, though, because she comes in hard and like, all right. So we're coming off, I think, game. Right. Had already been done. Yeah. And there's the very I hate to use this word, but I'm going to use it. Sorry, kids.
00:09:45
Speaker
There's this very cringe moment where it's every female character on the battlefield together. And it's very forced. That's the word I should use. Yeah. That's the problem with it. And I told it cause people were like, oh, you maybe you just have a problem with female power. And I'm like, no, absolutely not. It just needs to be done right. and needs to be believable.
00:10:02
Speaker
And you don't need to have them all pose for a poster. Uh-huh. No. Like, this this is a great example of when it works, though. Like, fucking Cara Dune is a badass. And, like, it's just like, yeah, I believe every little bit of this. It's not like she was sitting there posing like, all right, boys, time to go down.
00:10:20
Speaker
You know, she just comes in, starts throwing this dude at that dude. Yeah. Hit a motherfucker with another motherfucker. bit I beat a motherfucker with a motherfucker. But there are a lot of strong female characters in this show.
00:10:33
Speaker
I mean, almost everyone so far. I mean, the frog lady is the only one who's really been kind of helpless. even ah Hey, she wired up that fucking robot. She was able to communicate with Mando.
Baby Yoda at School
00:10:43
Speaker
She's a strong lady.
00:10:44
Speaker
but Even though the woman whose name I can't remember right now from the Sanctuary episode, who seems like she's helpless, she ends up being the only one who can use a fucking gun. God, I kind of hope we go back there at some point. I think they abandon it.
00:10:57
Speaker
Or maybe they're saving him for Endgame. like Maybe that's their dismount as Pedro Pascal goes back to her. Oh, yeah. That'd be nice. Like, hey, Grogu's going to live another 850 years more than this.
00:11:10
Speaker
he doesn't He doesn't need me the whole time. He probably looks at Pedro Pascal as his pet. Yeah, right. He's like, oh, I got a human. I'll get another one when this one dies. But I love after she beats the show, all these dudes, um the little it's a meerkat, not a lava weasel, like my name says, but it looks like a lava weasel.
00:11:28
Speaker
i mean It's a lava weasel, dude. Come on. i mean, you don't really. I didn't really notice. I didn't really notice that it was a meerkat until when she this point when she looks down at it and it's coming up to thank her because it sits up and it looks like Timon from fucking Lion King.
00:11:43
Speaker
Yeah. Because when they were going to go chop its fucking head off and eat it, it just kind of looked like a lava weasel. ah like it's like She's like, I don't want a fucking friend, dude. i Just go. I saved you. That's plenty.
00:11:53
Speaker
Yeah. Plenty. But we need to show her not only save the cat moment, raise the cat moment. Save the meerkat. Save the meerkat, raise the meerkat, fatten the meerkat, grill the meerkat.
00:12:06
Speaker
Eat the meerkat. Did you tell me? did i i mean, I know i found I heard this recently, and it kind of surprised me. don't you told me, but that whole save the cat bullshit from that book is from the guy who wrote blank check.
00:12:18
Speaker
The guy that only wrote one screenplay and successfully? And it was blank check? It was blank check, yeah. yeah That's who needs to be teaching people. but Hey, if you can't do, you teach.
00:12:29
Speaker
Yeah. And if you can't do either, you podcast. Fair. I guess I shouldn't be talking shit about anybody. We can't. I didn't write a book. Yeah, I did. It's unpublished, but it's in my dresser if you want read it to you. It's incoherent. It's the ramblings of a madman.
00:12:43
Speaker
ah It's more of a manifesto. butzz ah Okay, so like it's it's actually kind of hard to read a lot at once because I had to cut out um the i'd get to cut letters out of the magazine to make the book.
00:12:56
Speaker
So like it's instead of like it's a one-page book that has, instead of a plot, it's more of like what I want. Yeah. It is a plot, but not like in the traditional storytelling sense, more in the overthrow the government sense. More of like the, if you don't give me $3 million, dollars you're going to find a ticky tick under your desk.
00:13:18
Speaker
It's very romantic. Oprah is recommending it this year. So Mando pulls up in his busted station wagon and meets up with Cara Dune and Greef Karga.
00:13:31
Speaker
And Navarro is now, like, bustling. This is what we were talking about in a previous episode, how we get to see, like, the steps of it getting yeah better. The marketplace is full of people, and there's a bunch of, like, little booths and stuff.
00:13:41
Speaker
And we know this isn't its final form. It's going to be better in season three, but it's great to see, like, it was a fucking um a cantina in The Good, Bad, and the Ugly. Right. And now it's like a city with a school because like he's like, dude, I can't believe this building's still standing. She's like, what do you see inside?
00:13:58
Speaker
They have a fucking protocol droid teaching kids. We didn't see a kid in Navarro before. So is that the building where Werner Herzog was? Or is that I guess it is. I guess that would i couldn't figure out what it was because she said that and I was like, so is it it's either Verner Herzog's building or it's ah like it was the only or something.
00:14:17
Speaker
That was the only big shootout moment because that's when fucking Gideon just like started just laying waste to it. The flamethrower guy went through there. Then he went right out of it.
00:14:28
Speaker
They had to replace the doorway because of that flamethrower guy. it Paint it white. That's why our White House is painted white. The British burnt it. Yeah.
00:14:39
Speaker
That's something I do know about American history. oh Look at me knowing things. Fuck yeah. It's a good day to be Derek. We find out that now, I mean, we already kind of knew, but Cara Dune is Marshall.
00:14:51
Speaker
of ah Grief Karga, almost called him Navarro. Grief Karga calls Marshall Dune. His nipples aren't pierced. He doesn't have enough tattoos that I know of. He hasn't married enough girls with fake boobies.
00:15:05
Speaker
Yeah. Carmen Electra sounds like a Star Wars name. Oh, yeah. But not one like. Well, there'd be a hyphen in it. It'd be like car hyphen men. And then I like that. Electro with an apostrophe.
00:15:17
Speaker
Maybe a Q in there for instead of a like Yeah. E-L-E-Q apostrophe T-R-A. Uh-huh. Yeah. Electra. I like it. He drops the baby off at the school because they got to go talk about grown business.
00:15:31
Speaker
And this is when we get Grogu fucking with this kid because he's just staring at this kid who is eating these delicious looking blue cookies. I thought about this. This is the best day of this kid's life because he just got to be on set. He's fucking up his lines on purpose. Like, can get more of that blue marzipan cookie?
00:15:48
Speaker
I fucked up my lines again. Yeah, they um my wife mentioned they look like macaroons. Oh, yeah. And apparently yeah Jon Favreau said they were like real cookies and they were like raspberry flavored or some shit. Oh, I believe it. I believe they had some fucking Disney chef just whip these up.
00:16:05
Speaker
And now you can buy them at the Disney store in Galaxy's Edge. Oh, I wonder. Because I drank some of that blue milk and it wasn't that bad. Better than the blue milk that we drank on our forever lost so far episode of Return of the Jedi. i want my brother My brother hated the sequel trilogy, but he like he loves Star Wars now. He's an adult.
00:16:30
Speaker
But he hated the scene where in, what is it? Last Jedi where Luke like grabs the milks that sea creature and then drinks it. There's blue running down his beard. He's like, my brother's like, that's the worst scene in cinema history.
00:16:45
Speaker
So I was hoping that I would hate the drink because I was going to send him one with me just gushing down my beard. It was delicious. I drank the whole thing. ah It's also not the worst scene in cinema history because Rise of Skywalker hadn't come out yet.
00:16:58
Speaker
All right. True. He said that before Rise of Skywalker. He was just, wait till we get to that episode, man. It's a two-parter. I'm calling it now. It's going a whole month.
00:17:09
Speaker
The month of The Last Jedi. Classy only appears for four hours of it. He's like, dude, I got to go to work. I have to go home. i have a podcast. I have work.
00:17:22
Speaker
But yeah, the the baby steals this guy's cookies because he was being a dick. With the force. He puts his little hand out. He's give me a cookie. And the guy's like, I'm sorry. Give me cookie. He's got three fingers. I mean, he's not being a dick. he's He's just like, he was, no.
00:17:39
Speaker
yeah I don't want to share my food. Yeah, well, you know, you don't know who's who's asking for a cookie and has the force. Fine, I'll start sharing my food. Well, you know, that he asked first.
00:17:50
Speaker
That's true. i am I am fine with that. forgot my own rule. But hey, you know what? I will give Grogu some credit here because he steals that tube of cookies and there's like four left in there, it looks like.
00:18:04
Speaker
At the end of the episode, he's still got some. Well, it's because he's not taking real bites, Derek. He's a puppet. know he's a puppet. I know, I know. just that The very end scene when he's like got it, I'm like, it's still really cute, but he is just going...
00:18:23
Speaker
ah So that makes a really bad audio podcast. And bias and it's like it's like the tiniest little... Because he's got a tiny mouth. he's got Yeah, he does for a 50-year-old.
00:18:33
Speaker
Most 50-year-olds are missing teeth. He just hasn't had his come in yet. It's a weird dynamic.
Mithral's Return
00:18:41
Speaker
ah We're reintroduced to Mithral, played by Horatio Sanz, who as soon as he sees... Mando, he does a of Roger from American Dad where he like shits in a circle all around himself. This dude just shoots mist out of all of his holes. Well, because first he's like, the transponder says it's a razor crest. That must be. Oh, like neck queefs.
00:19:06
Speaker
He's working for Greef Karga because he was sentenced to 350 years of labor for skedaddling with some money. or so Because he was working he was working for Greef Karga before.
00:19:20
Speaker
Yeah, whatever he did to get wanted. He did some collective accounting and stole money, embezzled. right, Paul, so I think it's time we made a trailer.
00:19:32
Speaker
Do we have to? like yeah People keep asking, so we're going to deliver. but What are we supposed to do in this damn trailer? You know, we're just going talk about shit we do here. We theme our months, right? Like, what do we... I mean, I know we've done stuff like musicals and animation months and creature features, all sorts of stuff, but is that what you're talking about?
00:19:50
Speaker
Yeah, it's something kind of like that that I'm probably going to sit there and tell people, you know, we're on all social medias. We're on the Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok, and it's all under Flicks and Friends Podcasts.
00:20:01

Mission to Destroy Imperial Base
00:21:01
Speaker
you. so Their whole thing here is there's ah there's an old Imperial base on Navarro.
00:21:06
Speaker
It's just a forward operating base. It's fine. As per usual, there's nobody there but a skeleton crew, man. Easy. It'll be easy. We're in. We're out. I'm waiting for Mando one of these episodes to be like, OK, sure.
00:21:20
Speaker
Also, do you have a rocket launcher? He hasn't said it once, but like just like that's what you said the last time and the time before and the time of before. It's never fucking easy. Remember last time we were in this exact building and you said there was no more than four stormtroopers?
00:21:37
Speaker
If this was much more of a comedy, it'd be like, guys, it's a really skeleton crew. We're going to be, don't say it. and And don't say it. Don't say in and out. Uh-uh. I want to hear those words. It couldn't get any worse. not going to say it, but let's just say fresh cut potato fries.
00:21:53
Speaker
Ha ha ha ha ha. yeah tell the kitchen to light up the fryers we're on our way i need six shots of room temperature rumplemins and if you guys want something put your order in sounds like my breakfast oh just kidding that's for dinner I'm less judgy if you were like that's my dinner I'm like good job breakfast peppermint schnapps for breakfast absurd what is this Germany almost we're working on it if we go back a while yeah
00:22:28
Speaker
um Yeah, but basically the big thing is like, leave black mar politics out of Star Wars. The black market is really going to want to get to this base because there's a bunch of weapons there and we need to get rid of it so that the planet can be peaceful and we can complete our mission of making this no longer a hive of scum and villainy.
00:22:48
Speaker
Hey, yeah, I'm trying to be respectable see. So Mithril gives him a ride in his personal speeder. Which he like he pulls up and they're like, just keep the speed of running.
00:23:01
Speaker
Well, like the um ah negotiating, too. He's like, what? And he's like, I'll knock 100 years off your sentence. Oh, yeah. That's a chunk. Where do you want me to drop you off? The front door would be nice.
00:23:12
Speaker
I don't really like heat. Yeah, well, how about I knock 100 years off your debt? And then when he was it when he tells him to come in or he tells him to wait for him because he's about to get away.
00:23:23
Speaker
And he's like 30 more years off your debt. I don't know how long mithrals people live. and i don't either. Mithral might be the species, honestly. It might be like a... It sounds species.
00:23:35
Speaker
Weequay. What's the... Weequay. Yeah, it might be like a Weequay thing. I should let you get there. You had it. Because the ah some things I read in the trivia, kept saying the mithral. Okay. So... I mean, it's the only one I can think of seeing. I'm sure they've existed somewhere.
00:23:49
Speaker
You know what? carra du was or of Gina Carano was fine because Star Wars is just like, hey, you. like I'm not. Hey, Protestant, get over here. I'm going to throw out Protestant instead of what she would say. better. You know what I'm saying?
00:24:04
Speaker
Well, i mean, you know, people have called me red genette generically. It's the same thing. It's like, what's up, Weequay? I guess it's not the same. It's more like, what's up, Irish? I've been called that too, though.
00:24:17
Speaker
Yeah. And I mean, if you were if you were the only American in a small town in Scotland, they'd be like, hey, American. Hey, yank. The difference is that our our genetic makeup has been persecuted a lot fucking less.
00:24:29
Speaker
So when someone's like, what's up, Irish? Like, hey, and I know everyone's going to come at me. The Irish were slaves and y'all did. Sure. Sure. We still had it better. But they they go to try to break in and these controls are melted because they probably weren't rated for lava because the Imperials are cheap.
00:24:48
Speaker
It's their standard lock. It'll be fine. it's It's worked on every other planet we've ever been on. Except Mustafar. Mando jets off to the top. They break in. And as as soon as they get that, right before they get the door open.
00:25:01
Speaker
We get that fall, yeah. Much like last episode. And it's at least, so that guy falling in the last episode, great chance for a Wilhelm scream. This one, even better.
00:25:13
Speaker
Better. And then there's at least two more, I think, inside the bass. Definitely one I can think of. There's one where he goes down the pit. Yeah. Yeah. That's perfect.
00:25:24
Speaker
Especially if they you know have it like the the the Doppler effect. so it's like or I think that's what called. So it comes down and it's like... It gets louder and quieter as he goes by.
00:25:35
Speaker
Oh, yeah, i love that. um I just love the Mandalorians figured out these jetpacks. Like, do we have a whole thing? have You ever pick somebody up and flown to the air and just dropped them?
00:25:46
Speaker
Delightful. He saw that in the last episode and he was like, that is a good move. That's what she meant by train with the rising Phoenix. Pick a motherfucker up and drop a motherfucker. Got it.
00:25:58
Speaker
So their plan is to go in, ah shut up apriling to the red shut off the cooling to the reactor so it overheats and then get out. Easy peasy because it's skeleton crew. Don't say it This definitely isn't a strand casting base. Bo-Katan Creasy.
00:26:20
Speaker
Nice. And also nice with the strand cast. like that. I feel like I'm on a sophisticated Star Wars podcast now instead of a couple drunks yelling at microphones. We've only been doing this for, I guess it's been about 16 months. I'm starting to catch on to words.
00:26:36
Speaker
I mean, look, nobody should have the level of information I have or above about Star Wars, but we do. Oh, it's like every time I look through the IMDb trivia and someone's like, ah this panel in Arabosh said this. And I'm like...
00:26:52
Speaker
get over it yeah yeah because it's never anything interesting like if it was like a a goof or if they put in a name or something to make it funny like ah a reference to someone that's one thing but in this one i think i don't remember exactly what it was but it was like oh the panel he looks at in arabesh says temp control and i'm like yeah duh Perfect.
00:27:11
Speaker
So there was when we did Skeleton Crew, there was an episode where like it had a readout of a ship and and our boss popped up and I hit pause real quick and I deciphered it and it said exactly what you think, like connection lost because the ship got blown up. i was like, well, wasted my time.
00:27:26
Speaker
Well, could have wasted more and you could have gone on IMDb and tippy-tapped that up. Yeah, i would have wasted a lot more. But you can just assume that unless it's like some super weird hidden director detail, the Arbosh is probably going to say what the scene needs it to say.
00:27:42
Speaker
Yeah, exactly. That's what I mean. Like if it was saying some kind of like Easter egg, that's one thing. But like to take your time to go on IMDb trivia and just be like, basically you're going on the Internet and shouting, I know our bus this when when this scene, um the door actually says push. And then when he pushes it open and close it, the reverse side says pull in our bus.
00:28:04
Speaker
So there's that. I bet my dad's proud of me somewhere. So I just pulled it up. It says the Aurobosh text on the reactor control panel translates to core temp. Of course it does.
00:28:16
Speaker
Of course. 49 of 52 people found that interesting. That's 49 people that have not had sex this year. I have not created an account on IMDB because I refused. I was like, I'm going to say not interesting, but it tend it tells me to create an account. site Oh, I have one. I have an account.
00:28:34
Speaker
and Okay, well, you go on there and tell them it's not interesting. You betcha.
00:28:40
Speaker
ah What the fuck were we? Oh, yeah. so they We were talking about being a sophisticated Star Wars podcast. They do get into the reactor. It all seems very easy up front.
00:28:52
Speaker
They get in there. They saw Obi-Wan do it. they give the ah you know They give Horatio Sands room to Horatio Sands because they're like, hey, go over there and get the controls and...
00:29:03
Speaker
overheat the reactor and he's i like his thing because it's that it's that three progression that works in comedy but it's just funny because his delivery is great he's like you know i hate heights and heat and lava yeah i do like how he calls it i was like there's not even a guardrail yeah as he's climbing over there's no's not guardrails anywhere dude Welcome to the empire, pal.
00:29:26
Speaker
Yeah. Another stupid IMDb trivia because it's like, that's something people have criticized for years. I'm like, no shit. And then they even threw in. It was also a joke in the Family Guy cartoon Blue Harvest. I'm like, yeah, yeah of course it was.
00:29:40
Speaker
What they didn't fucking type up. It's probably on Robot Chicken, too. I'm sure it is. Because that's another fucking Star Wars nerd making a ski sketch comedy. Yeah, exactly.
00:29:51
Speaker
Blue Harvest is fucking great, by the way. Yeah. What's the second one? Something Darkseid? Yeah. Like every little thing they make fun of is just like, yeah, yeah, I get it.
00:30:03
Speaker
Still love Star Wars, but I get it. Yeah. Well, I mean, obviously they do. They're not doing it because they hate it. Right. know That's what people don't realize. I'm sure there was one writer in the room that was like, oh, yes, here's my chance. Fuck Star Wars. ah I applied for a job with Lucasfilm, and he didn't hire me.
00:30:20
Speaker
um It's because you suck. ah You know how i know you suck? I wrote it in my notebook. Move right along. Why don't you go write for a Fox cartoon, bitch?
00:30:32
Speaker
Why don't you go write your own story called Bar Wars? Ooh, actually, don't do that. That's mine. Trademark. Trademark, Tim. Lucas LTD. So, yeah, he shuts off the controls, and there's no more than 10 minutes before all this shit goes haywire.
00:30:49
Speaker
Luckily, there's not a lot of guys here. We can get right out. This is not a problem. But then they stumble upon ah these two dudes in clone uniforms, which I only know because of ah ah Pershing.
00:31:03
Speaker
Cause we saw him earlier. I'm going to trying to jump in and correct you. Cause I was, I was like, you know what? Wait, he'll get there. You got it. as we saw his uniform, I wouldn't know that it's a cloning uniform, but you told me that. So, um, yeah, yeah um, but yeah, it's in cloning uniforms and they have these tubes full of strand caster clones at least.
00:31:24
Speaker
Yes. Uh, templates failed experiments, yada, yada. And this is, this is where this is the reason I look through IMDb trivia because there are the nerds like star Wars especially has like the nerds who paid way more attention than I'll ever pay.
00:31:39
Speaker
yeah but Apparently the music that starts playing is kind of either a riff on or like a piece of the Snoke theme, which makes perfect sense. well Trilogies. So this is operation necromancer.
00:31:52
Speaker
Yeah. This is the emperor trying to find a way to put his crippled old. Somehow he survived body into a better body. Yeah.
00:32:03
Speaker
And they even mention it here because so this one of the guys starts shooting the computer. other guy's shooting at him. They both die. They salvage what they can. And what we hear is Dr. Pershing himself, a little gram, as we're called, ah pops up. And he's like, it's not it works for a little bit. It doesn't work long term.
00:32:24
Speaker
I suggest the donor would should not accept the transfusion because he'll die. The donor is the emperor as far as I'm concerned. Okay, I was wondering if they were if he was talking about trying to do something with Grogu.
00:32:40
Speaker
say He does mention that, obviously, but like i that's what I was wondering when he was saying he should not accept the sample. like I thought maybe they were experimenting on him first. if it's if If I miss my mark, it's Snoke.
00:32:52
Speaker
But I think it's the Emperor because Snoke is what comes out of the Emperor not being able to... inhabit that body or that body being whatever it's not really fully explained there's probably a book that i need to read before we get to the sequel trilogy which is coming up soon but uh long story short i like that someone is trying to make sense out of the line somehow the emperor uh returned because what we forget is uh oh fucking the dude from more of the rings don dominic moynihan uh you said dude for the rings i was like andy circus
00:33:25
Speaker
No, no, no, no. Hold on. Give me second. He's in um episode nine. He's the. So God damn it. Hold on. Quick. Dominic Moynihan is an actor's name. Well, while while you're looking that up.
00:33:38
Speaker
So you said they call it a gram because I keep writing hollow. I know it's only half the word of hologram. So it's the second half they're using. It is Dominic Moynihan. Well, it's just the end of this episode. he's yeah She's like, I'll send you a gram or no grief. Carga says it.
00:33:53
Speaker
Oh, okay. That's just because he likes Instagram. True. But so it's Dominic Moynihan, if I'm saying that name correctly. After Poe Dameron says somehow the Emperor returned, he has a quick throwaway line where he's like, Sith alchemy, dark... so um I can't remember the exact line, but he's like, dark secrets only the Sith knew about Sith alchemy.
00:34:14
Speaker
It's a throwaway line, but now it's like, okay, we're starting to get somebody at least, Filoni, Favreau, be like... I'll make sense of that. Now that you're saying that, I'm just imagining Dave Filoni in the theater day one, first showing, watching those movies, and he's just like, oh, great. now I'm to have to explain this fucking horse shit. what No, he's so excited. You're so wrong. He's like, oh, good. Look at this. I get to write about CIS alchemy and things, other dark side things that people forgot, some pathways to... As soon as Oscar Isaac says, somehow the emperor returned, he's like,
00:34:48
Speaker
He probably did groan at that, though. Because i mean it cheapens the one. Anakin is the one. He brought balance to the force. I guess the prophecy never said how long he'd bring balance for.
00:34:58
Speaker
For a couple years. balance. Oh, it's gone. Oh, that was fun. But yeah, Pershing does mention the M count, which is midichlorians.
Dr. Pershing's Hologram and Cloning
00:35:08
Speaker
Yeah, it is. God damn it.
00:35:09
Speaker
So, again, I'm just... I've been doing a lot on the other show too lately, talking about IMDb people because they drive me crazy. But there's an entire, like sometimes it's useful, but there's a an entry that's like three paragraphs.
00:35:23
Speaker
That's like M count probably refers to midichlorians, but they didn't want to say midichlorian because people don't find, people it was controversial or whatever. I'm like, clearly it does. Let's move on. did take that Take that three paragraphs down and make it three words.
00:35:38
Speaker
M count means fucking myth chlorine. What the fuck else would it be referring to? Yeah. They're not afraid to say it. They just don't want to. Yeah. So let's just use a different word and people won't be like.
00:35:52
Speaker
Sizzle words. Yeah. Plus, I mean, come on, midi-chlorian, that's a lot of syllables. M-count. this is the This is the military. M-count, two syllables. I approve of M-count.
00:36:03
Speaker
But he ends it with, I won't disappoint you again, Moff Gideon. And Mando's like, well, this must be old because I killed that motherfucker. Nope, three days old. Well, shit, no time to think about it.
00:36:16
Speaker
Here comes a bunch of troopers. There's a big shootout. If he's alive, that means he's going to come try and get the baby. Yep. Um, so Mando, the plan is Mando jet packs back to the kid because Moff Gideon is still alive.
00:36:30
Speaker
That's his priority. Yeah. And everyone else escape via the speeder that they have left outside is the plan. ah Um, so he, he goes out through the reactor, taking out a bunch of storm troopers. That's when he flies the one up in the air and, or he goes up.
00:36:47
Speaker
That's not, that's the best part. He's not even one of the, not even a guy at the bottom. He flies out of the top of the reactor and just snatches a dude like one of those fucking dragon things that was in the previous season oh yeah just like on navarro yeah on navarro like when he was camping out with uh grief karga he just snatches a dude and everybody else is like everybody else is sitting around like the fuck did ted go yeah Ted was right here. Did i Okay, I'm a little hungover. Did I see Ted?
00:37:18
Speaker
I swear to God, I was just talking to Ted and he I heard a butt. That motherfucker will do anything to not pay me back. I'm saying, dude, like Ted has owed me five credits for a Fortnite now.
00:37:30
Speaker
And he drops that dude into the reactor, which is funny. That's what shit got to scream. And then the others. Yeah, exactly. It would have been great. And the others are stopped by some stormtroopers in the ah they're not even to the bottom yet. They're still at the top there where earlier on Mithral had no noticed this.
00:37:49
Speaker
think he says like Trask Trawler or I don't know some kind of it's a mint vehicle of some sort that he was like, we could make a pretty penny off of this. It's basically like a fucking MRAP in our world, like a SWAT v swat truck.
00:38:02
Speaker
Yeah, because this thing is obviously beefy because it survives a lot. Yeah. So Gina Carano jumps in there and they zip out. And of course land on top of Mithril's speeder.
00:38:15
Speaker
And he's like, wait, was that, was that my car?
Speeder Bikes and TIE Fighters Chase
00:38:18
Speaker
My actual speeder? I'm like, dude, motherfucker, this is probably yours when we're done. Did you just crush my Honda Civic? Yeah, don't worry. You can have this Escalade when we're done, dude. Here's Humvee. This bulletproof Escalade.
00:38:30
Speaker
Yeah. you Remember the car that, what's his, Nick Fury's driving in the Winter Soldier? You're getting that.
00:38:40
Speaker
It's much better than your 97 Civic. ah Trust.
00:38:45
Speaker
Some speeder bikes start chasing him down. Carl Weathers jumps on the guns because he's directing the episode. And he's like, that's right. I'm going to shoot some shit. He's like, I got this.
00:38:55
Speaker
Because, you know, if it was someone else directing, Carl Weathers would be the one driving and Gina Carano would be the one on the guns. Uh-huh. Carl Weathers is like, have you seen Predator? These are the guns. but ah I'm not going to embarrass myself by flexing. That's why I kind of did it off camera. Yeah. Yeah. You see my fist. You know what I'm doing?
00:39:13
Speaker
Look, I'm flexing. Don't look where I'm not flexing. all Oh, he takes out some of these guys. She smashes one into the cliffside. One of the guys gets on side of on top of the speeder and he's about to like throw in a ah detonator and Carl Weathers just obliterates this guy. Because the guy didn't realize he stepped back in front of the turret. He's like, I'm going to. Oh, fuck. He's right behind me, isn't he?
00:39:39
Speaker
And it's great because he shoots him and like there's the explosion, but as they're driving away, it's just a helmet spinning like the fucking license plate from Back to the Future. Love it. Loved it. Couldn't have been happier with this scene.
00:39:51
Speaker
There's some janky CG when these guys are going down their swoop bikes and whatnot, but... I'm fine with it. It looks good enough. Because you're not filming that. Yeah. And I mean, i mean obviously, because well the ones they're on have wheels.
00:40:05
Speaker
was going to say, repulsion lift just doesn't exist. so Yeah. Once we invent it, if they keep using CG, I'm out. no Yep. Yep. Yep. If you can shoot this and you don't shoot this, fuck you.
00:40:19
Speaker
um And then these, what did I say? They were called Outland TIE Fighters. but The one that Moff Gideon had with the folding wings. Like they're a bunch them take off. They're meant to on the ground. Yeah.
00:40:29
Speaker
It's fun to see. i Because I did read a thing about that. and It was like they're meant for like this, ah remote outposts where there's no... Yep. Hanger. Because what we normally see is the hangar top loading.
00:40:43
Speaker
It moves you around, yada, yada. This is not the only, but just, yeah, it's meant for for ah a land to air takeoff. These guys, I feel like they weren't even trying to chase the thing at first. Like, we just got to get out of here.
00:40:56
Speaker
This base is going to blow. Yeah, because as they take off, lava is pouring out of this base. Yeah. um Or they look back like, oh, that was really good timing. My God.
00:41:07
Speaker
At first I was like, it kind of lessons Gideon showing up in this thing because it's very imposing when he does. Like just the fact that there's a bunch of them. Like I thought it was like his special TIE fighter, but also but then it connects him to this base. Like the more i thought about it, like, OK, so it wasn't his special TIE fighter, but this is where he was and this is how he got there so quickly.
00:41:29
Speaker
You know. Yep. so Exactly. And it's a common thing to do, though, in the Star Wars, at least the cartoons and stuff, is like, oh, here's a groundbreaking new thing. And then episodes later, it's like, there's more.
00:41:42
Speaker
There's a bunch of them. There's there's more of them now. Yeah. So the base is collapsing. Those things chase him down. He's having a little more trouble, obviously, with ah a cannon mounted on a car that's fleeing.
00:41:54
Speaker
It almost looked like he was trying to hit the cliffs to, like, bury him in. That's what was kind of driving me crazy because they're showing his targeting I think he's missing that bad. Yeah, they're showing his targeting computer and he can't lock on, which makes sense. But like it was really driving me crazy that like his shots were hitting either the left or right side cliff.
00:42:13
Speaker
like, okay, so how about we do this? Stop with the pattern you're doing and get like a half second off. So you start shooting through the middle and maybe you'll have a better... You know what I mean? Aim down in the middle, maybe you'll hit at least... like This guy will move, but the other guy behind him might not.
00:42:27
Speaker
Yeah, but he does take one out. And that one crashes into the ship and takes the the speeder and takes out the guns. But here comes the Razorcrest, much like the Millennium Falcon, to save the day.
00:42:40
Speaker
swooping in taking dudes out i think one of them even bounces off the side of the the the canyon canyon that they're in much like i just like the last two kills the last two kills are so fucking good because he takes that thing vertically you know kills one of them pretty well and then does this beautiful like look at my ship all being repaired now like flaps open thrusters turn off and he just goes straight vertical into a whoop, drop, and he's coming straight at a TIE fighter and spinny, spinny corkscrew. yeah He's just a good pilot because it's not a good ship.
00:43:15
Speaker
I love the visual of them just coming at each other, just blasting. The sound. He's doing the spins around. That thing's trying to target him. It's nice. The sound is so good, too, because you hear both these fucking ships ramping up.
00:43:27
Speaker
His obviously having the drag. It's such a good sound. And, yeah. And the Carl Weathers touch for the episode is... when he's going up and the Grogu's in the back with his hands up like a roller coaster, which becomes even funnier when he comes down because then he's like, yeah, like he's like, he's 100% on fucking Thunder Mountain Railroad. and c Pro murder.
00:43:50
Speaker
He's pro murder and thrills. and And as this thing is spinning, just munching cookies. Oh, yeah. He's like, it's a good, it's a good day in Mandalorian land. Yeah.
00:44:04
Speaker
And, you know, it takes about turns around. Not too bad. Huh, kid? black Just vomits all over
Cara Dune's New Republic Recruitment
00:44:10
Speaker
himself. Blue goo. Blue harvest. That's his blue. har We do get a moment of ah Paul Sun-Hyung Lee coming back as Carson Teva, the X-Wing captain we've seen before.
00:44:24
Speaker
questioning grief cargo. And he's just like, so what happened at the base? He's like, i don't know anything about a base. Okay. What about this razor crest? There was no razor crest here. I didn't say razor crest. Did you say razor? I didn't say razor crest. Don't put words in my mouth.
00:44:36
Speaker
Don't push ship names in my mouth, dude. And Carson table is like, well, the, the logs say razor crest. And he's like, this system doesn't know anything about pre empire. What are you about? Tomato, tomato guy.
00:44:51
Speaker
As he had, he had even said at the beginning of the episode, like the new Republic needs to fuck off out of the outer rim. If the empire couldn't handle it, they, what do they think they can? Oh, how his tune will change. ah Um, uh, Carson does try to recruit Cara Dune. She's like, yeah, I'm not really a joiner, but he's cause I'm blue.
00:45:11
Speaker
This is the setup for the spinoff that we'll never get because, um God, why can't it I keep forgetting Gina Carano can't shut the fuck up.
00:45:24
Speaker
It's a setup for what was it? ah ah Rangers of Rangers of the New Republic. That's what it is. I mean, you can have your political views like we we obviously lean one way. And if you leave another way, that's fine.
00:45:37
Speaker
Probably shouldn't be comparing yourself to a Holocaust victim, you know, as a non persecuted person. Just saying. Well, and it's just just You've got a cherry gig.
00:45:49
Speaker
I'll give her this. At least she acknowledged the Holocaust. She seems like one that would be a bit of a denier. So I'm going to give her ah a little bit of credit. you know i'm I'm still not on her side. but And it's funny that we're talking about her now.
00:46:04
Speaker
And we know we mentioned this previously with her lawsuit and everything. So she she won I didn't follow the whole thing, so I don't know. I'm assuming it's just going to be financial damages. Yeah.
00:46:15
Speaker
i got Because like we said but previously, they're not bringing her back, which really sucks because she's a good character. She's a good actress. And that would have been a really cool show. like her Her and Carson Tavo running around fucking wiping the scum out of the fucking system with some other...
00:46:32
Speaker
Folks, Zebra Elias from Rebels is going to be... Would have been in it. um I also think it suffers... Season 3 suffers a little bit of Mandalorian because there are plots, threads, and things that you can tell should not be a Mandalorian, but it was going to be in the Rangers of the New Republic to tie in. Yeah. Well, fuck, we have to make this make sense.
00:46:56
Speaker
Yeah. When we get there, all I will bring it up when we get there, believe me. Well, it's like you said... one side or the other, that's fine. You believe what you believe. You know, everybody believes they believe whether it's crazy or not.
00:47:09
Speaker
But like if you've got a cherry gig like this, just just keep it to yourself. If Disney was but ah hiring me to podcast, I would never talk about World War Two or Nazis ever again until they got done paying me.
00:47:21
Speaker
And I'm not saying, you know, you can't. It's a hard thing because as a celebrity, you know, people want to use their platform to talk about stuff. Sometimes it's good causes. Sometimes it's their political beliefs. Sometimes it's whatever. yeah but You're robbing yourself of money and all of us of a really cool experience because you just needed to say something that doesn't affect anybody.
00:47:48
Speaker
I don't think it was even her belief that I had the biggest issue with. It was her wording yeah and how she said, like, just, yeah, well, we'll come, we'll come off it. Yeah. So, you know, don't come at us about it.
00:48:00
Speaker
Like, I understand that it's everybody's right to believe what they believe and to say what they want. But when you're in a public position like that and you know you're with ah the largest media company in the world. Unless you believe that Trump wasn't in the Epstein files.
00:48:14
Speaker
I don't know how you can believe that. Well, because he said it, even though there's pictures of him. And the DOJ said it. Those are probably AI, right? so Oh, fake news. Yeah, fake news, dude.
00:48:26
Speaker
Fake boobs. But it's just really disappointing because I really would have enjoyed the show because Gina Carano is a good actress, surprisingly, because she really hadn't acted much before this. And Cara Dune is a really cool character. Yeah, she kills it in these.
00:48:41
Speaker
Yeah. So, you know, but he does have this thing about like, these aren't isolated incidents. There's something else going on here. He's like, no one else believes it in the ah capital, the new Republic. No one believes it, but I can tell these are fucking connected something. Cause Gideon's been dead a couple times now.
00:48:59
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. So he knows something's going on and this is when, I mean, we've established that she's from Alderaan. ah because Gideon said it, but he talks her about that and he's like, you know, I served during Alderaan and did you lose anybody? I lost everyone. Everybody's like, well, fuck, I wish I wouldn't asked.
00:49:19
Speaker
He leaves her this thing. I don't know what it is. If it's like a badge, it's like ah like a like a New Republic Marshall star, like the equivalency of like not. Not only are you the mar you're already a marshal of this planet, but I'm saying that you're sanctioned by the New Republic.
00:49:34
Speaker
There would have been more connective tissue here, but yeah they figured out, I guess.
Star Destroyer and Dark Troopers Reveal
00:49:41
Speaker
And we end on this Star Destroyer.
00:49:46
Speaker
ah First thing we see is this comms officer. So the actress is Katie O'Brien. I only want to mention her. She's barely in this, but she's been in a bunch of stuff after she comes back in this to in a series.
00:49:59
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Cause she's in, she's with Pershing, right? Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. Cause she's the one who, she's the one who betrays him. Quantum. where Who I think classy really enjoys this actress.
00:50:11
Speaker
She's really good. She was in, uh, somebody talking about because she's in the movie called love lies bleeding. Yeah. recently came out, which I have not had a chance to see. I missed it in theaters and I was waiting for a physical release and I don't know if I've missed it or not, but it's a, it's her and, uh,
00:50:29
Speaker
I'm to disrespect her because I don't remember her name. Twilight girl. Stewart. Yes. Kristen Stewart. And ah Ed Harris as like ah the skeeziest looking dude. I saw him in the trailers. I was like, sign me the fuck up.
00:50:44
Speaker
Yeah. It's like buff bodybuilder chicks and something about murder. i don't know It looks really good. I've heard it's really good. I haven't seen it I think she's great in this. She's underutilized in Ant-Man Quantum Realm. And as everybody yeah right I hope I see more of her.
00:51:02
Speaker
She's also in Twisters. She's she's like, so you know me. Oh, it's it's pretty good. Yeah. But, you know, would it would have it would have been awful if they hadn't picked the right actors for all the roles. And they really did.
00:51:15
Speaker
Like, and they watch it's good. Yeah. Well, we'll get there. Maybe in January. Maybe in January. I'm going to make you do Yanda Bunchewary because he directed the original Twister.
00:51:28
Speaker
And then we'll have to talk about and what else in there. And what else speed?
00:51:34
Speaker
and ah And what else? The Haunting and Lara Croft 2. he's a great cinematographer. Kind chilled off there at the end.
00:51:45
Speaker
He had two great movies, two or three really bad movies, but he's a killer cinematographer. That's awesome. Oh, she also popped up in that new Mission Impossible, the last one, Final Reckoning.
00:51:56
Speaker
Yeah. And connection to the last episode, she was also in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. for a couple of episodes. so So she's been around, though. Yeah, but she's she's just a comms officer here.
00:52:09
Speaker
um And basically, we find out that the mechanic we saw working on Amanda's ship. But she's a simp. Oh, yeah. Yeah, which feeds into... Because i I had forgotten this when I saw her in season... Is it season three, right, where Pershing comes back?
00:52:26
Speaker
Yeah. So I had forgotten this when I saw her in season three. But that's as soon as you saw her, if I remembered this, I would have been like, oh, she's going to betray him. Oh, you kind of a bitch.
00:52:37
Speaker
Yeah. But ah yeah, they the mechanic that was working on Mando's ship had planted a tracking device. Moff Gideon is, of course, involved there. He's in his room full of dark troopers.
00:52:49
Speaker
Did you have any idea what these were? Well, we saw them before, right? We saw them in the last... Moff Gideon thing. Not in action. The dark trooper guys. Yeah, they show up.
00:53:01
Speaker
These are different. These aren't these aren't per troopers or death troopers. These are the robot troopers. OK, I mean, i guess that makes sense because they're all plugged in. As I was watching it today, i was like, well, these look like the guys that were at the last one.
00:53:14
Speaker
These are the ones that when Mando goes toe to toe with one of them and almost almost kills them. OK. End of the season. End of the season. I just thought I was like, it's those dudes, which we had talked about are like surgically and mechanically like enhanced.
00:53:28
Speaker
Well, yes, but they're still like they're still human. Their suits are just much better. That was my thing here is I was like, so these dudes just it's kind of like universal soldier. Like when they're not fighting, he just plugs them in.
00:53:41
Speaker
Just eat a raw steak and plug in for the night. yeah Exactly. We got to put them in a bathtub full of ice. Sign me up.
00:53:51
Speaker
So that's the end of chapter 12. So tune in next week. We'll be talking about chapter 13, the Jedi. I can't fucking wait, dude. i just want to keep going with these. They're so fucking good.
00:54:03
Speaker
i mean, do what you want. You just got to watch it again. I usually do.
00:54:10
Speaker
ah Because I'm assuming that's where we meet Ahsoka Tano, hence the Jedi. Even though she wasn't a Jedi right now, she left the Order. Well, you know, once the Order's collapsed, you can just call yourself whatever you want.
00:54:22
Speaker
But that's like, people always say, like, when Yoda said, you are the last Jedi, yada yada, it's because the ones that were still around either didn't pass their training or left the Order. Oh, so all on a technicality?
