Speaker
Hello everyone and welcome to the Glide to Podcast. I'm Lauren Romo with me as always is my cousin and fellow nerd Andrea Gutierrez. Bright suns. Bright suns. What's going on? Cause it's been a minute. I know. I'm full of turkey. Gobble gobble baby. I'm stuffed with stuffing. And cheesy, the cheesy potatoes. Cheesy potatoes. Cheese potatoes or mac and cheese.
00:00:37
Speaker
i prefer cheesy potatoes because i don't eat mashed potatoes so
00:00:43
Speaker
I like that. No, salad. I mean, I can go either or, but cheese and potatoes, though. I'll go with that. I do my crock pot recipe. It's delicious. It's a family fave, actually. It goes quite well, so proud of myself. Jennifer makes ours. She's got that down. She knows how to do it. I've had hers before. She makes really, really, really good cheese and potatoes. They're excellent, excellent.
Thanksgiving and Industry News
00:01:09
Speaker
All right, well, Thanksgiving has come and gone.
00:01:12
Speaker
And while kids strikes over, woohoo, well, I should say tentatively, right? True. Actors still have to ratify. Again, hopefully everything goes well. If not, hey, you know what? They should do what they need to do. What makes them, you know, futures more stable. So, but at this moment,
00:01:37
Speaker
Strikes over, again, tentatively, they have struck with 10 on the deal. It's gotta be ratified by the, you know, all the actors and everything like that, but after that breaks, which is, again, good news for SAG, good news for, obviously, the writers got what they want. SAG seems to have gotten a lot of things they were looking for. Again, good stuff.
00:01:57
Speaker
But strikes over and then now all of a sudden news, news, news, nothing but news, kids. People were just ready to talk. I'm telling you. I think Dave was ready. I feel like everybody was ready. It was good. I mean, it's fun to kind of get this stuff because this is kind of.
00:02:16
Speaker
And I know if you feel this way but it's kind of what our podcast almost kind of started off of as This is us. This is would be like this type of episode which we'll talk about the news kids in a minute But this is cut type of episode That you and I we have had in our base like in your basement my basement family events this is the type of conversation kind of Our podcast was based off of just talking Star Wars
00:02:43
Speaker
Yeah, absolutely. We would be at family events and we would be like, Hey, did you hear this? And mostly it would be like, Hey, did you hear this? And I'd be like, I don't believe that.
00:02:55
Speaker
But it but this is kind of like the whole premise of is this is kind of fun getting back to I guess our roots a little bit But yeah kids we're gonna talk about the news Nothing, but news but before we do all that if this is your first time listening to us welcome We are Star Wars podcasts have discussed anything and everything within that galaxy far far away Each episode we will dive into one or two topics and have a general discussion on them topics could be movies TV series books comments a specific character you name it We talk about it
Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards Rumor
00:03:26
Speaker
All right, headlines, first headline. I think I want to discuss and just kind of get your overall thoughts, Ange, because I have some, so I'm interested to hear what you think. But again, this is, I want to preface this by saying this is a rumor, rumor, rumor, rumor. The rumor is that Pedro Pascal is tentatively
00:03:52
Speaker
rumor to become Reed Richards in the Fantastic Four. Now, for Star Wars, that's a Marvel thing. Let me loop it back to Star Wars, kids. A lot of people, I think, if this, again, if the rumor, rumor, rumor, rumor is true, a lot of people, I think, fear, and I think a lot of people brought up that then he probably won't be in the suit, if at all,
00:04:23
Speaker
for Mando season four. Now, I will say this, it doesn't bother me. I'm okay with him doing voiceover for it. I think Latif Crowder, Brendan Wayne, do a phenomenal job being the suit guys and being the...
00:04:44
Speaker
physical presence of the Mandalorian. I have no issue with those two. I think they're fantastic. And I'm glad these last few years, I feel like they've been giving those two props, okay? Now with that, him being Reed Richards, he's also, again, he's also going to start filming Last of Us season two very, very soon. He's a busy guy. He's doing, I think, Gladiator part, Gladiator sequel.
00:05:13
Speaker
The dude doesn't say no to projects, which is maybe a Pedro thing that he needs to say yes or no. But regardless, I love his work. I think he's fantastic in everything he does. So more Pedro, the better for me. But again, tying it back to Star Wars and do you care? Like, does it matter that he's physically in the suit at times? Like, yeah, some of the moments that we have seen his face is impactful.
00:05:42
Speaker
a la and the season two when he sees Grogu and says goodbye to him. Right. That that stuff I get. But his character, in my opinion, have it's been kind of. The character is based off of wearing that helmet, right? It was it was his whole journey has been, you know, the last couple of seasons of getting getting redeemed to be able to wear that again in the old Mandalorian way.
00:06:11
Speaker
So I don't,
Is Pedro Necessary on Set?
00:06:12
Speaker
this doesn't, I don't care. I guess just, I don't care. Do you care that he will just be doing voiceover at all? No, I don't. It reminds me of Vader, right? So David Prowse was in the suit and James Earl Jones was the voice.
00:06:31
Speaker
The voice is more dominating, so that's what we remember, and that's who we link with that character. So I don't mind it. And like you said, the other two, they are really great at doing the action stumped part in the suit. Their body language is great.
00:06:53
Speaker
And the voice execution is good, too. So I don't really care. I kind of would have liked, though, that Mando got past keeping the helmet on and started taking the helmet off. And then we got to see Pedro that way. I think that is kind of taken off now that there's no way that's going to happen. But I don't I don't know. I'm cool. I'm cool.
00:07:22
Speaker
Again, I get it. Like you're saying, maybe this stricken the storytelling for sure. But I feel like they kind of been setting it up that way. Do you agree with that? Because I mean, that's how I feel like they've been setting it up that way for him not to really take off the helmet off as much.
00:07:42
Speaker
Yeah, I think they have been setting it up that way because I think they understand what type of actor and how busy Pedro Pascal is. So they need to limit him visibly being seen on the show.
00:07:59
Speaker
But I guess like, if I was one of those like, not shippers, but if I was one of those people that wanted Mando to have either like a connection with another person or like a romantic whatever and all that, then you would want the helmet off and you would want Pedro to be more human representation of Mando, but I don't know. He's not gonna hook up with Beau.
00:08:29
Speaker
or even what's her face from season one. Yeah. Yeah. Again, as a storyteller or as a, like you're saying a shipper, yeah, it'd be cool. Right. I mean, you get it and that's fine. And I'm all for that. You know, all the, the dim bows and all that. Hey, I love you guys. Like I love it. And I'm just not part of that.
00:08:51
Speaker
Or even his connection with Grogu. I mean, honestly, there's that too, because that was a really huge part where he took his helmet off to look at Grogu and have Grogu identify and see him as a person. Right. That's a huge part of season two. Huge. I mean, that's where, like you're saying, maybe we miss those moments. But again, you never know. Maybe he can come and do those scenes.
00:09:16
Speaker
Possibly again, it's not to say that he can't because I mean he he was barely probably on set in season one I think we know that I think that's been pretty Like out there season two. Maybe he was there a little bit more but again They have Lateef Crowder and Brandon Wayne for a reason because those guys are very good stunt people and they do have that great physical presence and
00:09:45
Speaker
And I go back to the way producers and directors shoot Star Wars now with the volume. It's not like they have to go to a location. They just go to California and it's
00:10:04
Speaker
just easy to be in and out. You're in and out, right? And I think back of like when Mark Hamill showed up, they only needed him for like one day or two days. It's not like they're taking up months of time to do like shoots. So I feel like it is possible to have him maybe show his face, but I don't think it's necessary anymore.
00:10:29
Speaker
I agree, I don't think his character, I don't think it's a necessary part of the story anymore, where, you know, we kind of got past that, right? His face has been revealed. But now we put the mask, the helmet back on, because that's just who the character is now, right? He went through that whole journey of getting redeemed. He's not gonna like, just take it off now, like you're saying, it's just not gonna be part of the story. So that's fine. I mean, again, I'm okay with it. I know you're okay with it.
00:10:59
Speaker
I understand people's frustration, but I guess I'm just not on that side, where he has to be in the suit all the time. Latif and Brandon are doing a fabulous job being the physical presence, and I'm okay with that.
00:11:16
Speaker
Any last thoughts on that, Andrew? Anything else with that little, again, rumor? We always want to stress rumor about him possibly being this character, then maybe that's taking away some time being physically there on Star Wars. Nah. But what do you think about him being Reed Richards? Hot take. I'm OK with it. I mean, if it is, that's fine.
00:11:41
Speaker
I would I didn't see it. I don't see it but I will say boss logic who does some really cool like fan art stuff I mean he did circle it back to Star Wars. He did Rosario as Ahsoka That kind of put the whole thing in the motion with her
00:11:59
Speaker
He did one with with Pedro as Reed Richards. It looked pretty good. Yeah, it looked pretty good. So I mean, again, I can get down with it. I get it. Does it have to be him? No, I don't, you know, but I don't even want John Krasinski. I think I had him in the one movie. I'm fine. Yeah. And it was a dimensional thing like you can't. That's in that dimension. That was a representation of Reed Richards. So that's where we're at.
00:12:26
Speaker
Exactly. So yeah, I'm okay with him being read Richard's I'm fine with it, but whatever the page would be Pedro man I love his acting so more than Mary more than Mary.
Taika Waititi's Star Wars Vision
00:12:35
Speaker
All right Let's move on to the next story and I think this one again The next couple are just very off-handed comments by a couple of people that I think people took it in kind of a
00:12:52
Speaker
Made it maybe bigger than what it is or just they have they have feelings on it. I want to start with Taika Waititi so if You don't know who Taika Waititi is he is and he has kind of confirmed that he's still doing a Star Wars movie
00:13:09
Speaker
So that was announced years ago, but during that time he was doing Thor love and thunder. He just did, or is a, his new movie that just came out. Um, I can't, I'm blanking on the title, but it's about the soccer, some Moan American soccer team, uh, with Michael Fassbender, who I love. I love Michael Fassbender, get him into Star Wars anyway, but he was doing his kind of red carpet premiere.
00:13:36
Speaker
And this was per variety. And they asked him about Star Wars. Again, who wouldn't ask him, right? So he was asked about Star Wars. And he said, again, in a very Taika Waititi way, he said, it will be dramatic pause, a Taika Waititi film.
00:14:06
Speaker
So either you like Taika's work, or you don't. That's kind of with any director, right? Either you're a big Scorsese fan, or maybe you're just think he's mid. I don't know, I don't, whatever your opinion is. I like Martin Scorsese, I think he does really good work. But my point is, is that he's going to do his film the way he wants to, right? So then he went on to say, it's gonna piss people off. He added with a laugh.
00:14:38
Speaker
If you don't know in Taika and kind of his overall, I don't wanna say attitude, but just kind of how he, just how he is, right? If you've watched enough interviews or if you watch enough things that he's, you know, that he's been a part of, those comments are just Taika being Taika, just being silly, semi-serious, not serious, right? Like, it's just, he knows
00:15:09
Speaker
Let's just say this, Taika knows how to push people's buttons and like the fandoms a lot. I mean, he did it with Marvel, right? I mean, with Thor Ragnarok and then Thor, you know, Thor, Love and Thunder, like he's going to make his film regardless of what fans think.
00:15:27
Speaker
So I think he was saying it as a joke, but obviously probably semi-serious. Maybe not though, but again, he is going to piss people off, right? Regardless, whether it's the greatest Star Wars film that has been ever made, people are either going to like it or love it, right? It's going to piss people off. I think that was his point.
00:15:51
Speaker
with that comment. I don't think he's like, oh, that's what his whole goal is when he's making this movie, is to piss some of the fandom off. That's gonna happen regardless. And I think that's what he was saying.
00:16:06
Speaker
I think it shows as well that he's trying to make everybody very aware that he knows what the Star Wars fandom is like as well, too. That they're very polarized, that they either love something or think Star Wars is dead. That's a really good point.
00:16:26
Speaker
I think that was a call out a little bit towards the fans maybe. And again, just like you're saying, Lauren, either you like his films or you don't, right? Or maybe you appreciate them for the artistry of them, or maybe you just want to see an action movie and you don't like them, right?
00:16:50
Speaker
So I think that's there, but I do find it interesting that that's what Vanity Fair went with, right? Is that common? I felt like it was a little irresponsible, tiny bit irresponsible. Yeah, variety, variety. Yeah. Is that variety? I'm sorry, not Vanity Fair. I got you. I got you.
00:17:07
Speaker
Because he was on the Kelly Clarkson show and he said that he's been developing a Star Wars film for a few years. And he said, but in particular, but that one in particular, it's something I'd really like to get right. So I don't want to rush it. It's going to be, it's going to bubble along.
00:17:25
Speaker
I don't know what that says. Hang on. Anyway, hang on. But he also says I want to capture the joy and entertainment of those early ones like Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi and all those ones. So I'm trying to figure it out. It will happen. Again, just like you said, right? Right. It's context. It's, you know, it is.
00:17:51
Speaker
you're walking through a red carpet, you're answering types of questions over and over again. Maybe by the time you get to the end, you're in a little bit of a mood and you decide maybe someone said something to you. I don't know, but I felt like Variety, they were also trying to like kind of, I don't know.
00:18:14
Speaker
a little bit I get it yeah yeah I get what you're saying and but I think so I think I think you're 100% right I think again I think he said it just again to be Taika right because that's just who he is he's a funny kind of out there guy
00:18:32
Speaker
But like you're saying, you look at other interviews when he was asked about it before and he gives really good answers. He gives a very sincere, listen, I wanna get it right, I know how important it is, so I'm taking my time with it. But then you get him like you're saying, you get him on the red carpet and he's just maybe in one of those moods. He's like, yeah, it's gonna piss people off. And I think he, again, I think he's genuinely saying that as a joke, but also just like you said, Ang,
00:19:01
Speaker
He knows how fandoms work, in particular, Star Wars fandom. Right? And Marvel. I mean, he had drew a lot of criticism from Love and Thunder. And I mean, to go from Ragnarok to Love and Thunder. And again, that was polarized as well. So he knows how Marvel fandoms are, Star Wars fandoms. He knows how critics are, you know, Rotten Tomatoes scores, all that bullcrap, you know? Right.
00:19:30
Speaker
He's just calling it what it is. I agree. So again, I I think this again, like you're saying it's the contacts again On a red carpet premiere about another movie you'd ask about Star Wars. He's probably asked about it out Millions of times and he's just again. That's the answer he gave today, you know and again, I
00:19:57
Speaker
you either like his work or you appreciate it, right? I mean, that's just kind of who he is and how his films are looked at, right? Like either you love Ragnarok or you just appreciate it. Or maybe you love Love and Thunder or you thought it was just, you know, it was,
00:20:19
Speaker
It was okay. Like it doesn't, like regardless, I think it's just who he is. But I do think he is, it's not, I think people will take that quote and act and feel like he's not taking it serious. But then just like you, just like you said, Ange, you juxtapose that when he's on that, like a, a talk show, like Kelly Clarkson. And he gives a genuine, like, I think his real sincere answer. On a red carpet, he probably, again, like you're saying, you're going down that press row,
00:20:50
Speaker
you're gonna get bored or you're just gonna get annoyed or whatever, right? Things happen. Or you're just in the mood that day. Who knows? Who cares? That's the answer he gave. But I think that's not indicative of, again, like you're saying, of him not taking it serious or him not caring about the project. He does. I don't think Kathleen Kennedy or anybody in Lucasfilm
00:21:18
Speaker
Would hire somebody that wouldn't want to make the best Star Wars now Having said that again History might show me wrong on that because they've gone with people yanked them out had to pull again.
Dave Filoni's Influence on Star Wars
00:21:32
Speaker
solo Star Wars movie need I say more right but again I think they have learned from that and I think they're going with people that they feel do take it seriously want to know the material and our fans themselves and above all Taika is a Star Wars fan he has said that in the gallery for Mando season one he did an episode
00:21:46
Speaker
I
00:21:54
Speaker
And it was good. It had a couple of those taiko funny moments, but it was great It was an overall Star Wars II episode, right? So I don't have any worries Do you have any worries or concerns with a comment like this or do you just shrug it off? The concern I have I will bring up later With someone being placed in a new role and how it could affect
00:22:25
Speaker
well-named directors and their egos and and things like that so i'll bring that up later but no i i'm patiently waiting i i hope he gets to do one because like you said he likes star wars he loves star wars he knows star wars um and you know just that comment that he said on the kelly clarkson show about bringing the joy back from empire strikes back in um
00:22:52
Speaker
Return of the Jedi. Return of the Jedi is the funnest Star Wars movie out there. And that feeling of nostalgia, if he could create that and make it new, that would be amazing. So I am looking forward to him completing a Star Wars movie. I agree. No, I agree. I'm excited to see what he does with it. Right. And again,
00:23:19
Speaker
It's either gonna piss people off or people are gonna like it regardless. It doesn't matter. Like that's just, it is what it's going to be with that. Like you're saying, the fandom will be that way. Whether it is one of the best Star Wars movies since, you know, insert your movie, your show, whatever, people are still gonna say it's the worst Star Wars thing since insert their worst Star Wars thing. So it doesn't really, it's a losing battle for sure, for sure.
00:23:49
Speaker
Any final thoughts with Taika before we move on to the next news? Nope. All right. So now the next news. It had been reported for a while, kind of didn't hear anything, but now we kind of got something from the horse's mouth. So a while back, it had been reported that Kevin Feige was working on producing, not directing or anything like that, but producing a Star Wars movie.
00:24:21
Speaker
So this is per the Hollywood Reporter, but this is from actually an interview that he did with Ash Crossin from Entertainment Tonight, who she does one of the best in the biz. She she moderates Marvel stuff, Star Wars stuff. She's one of the best. You know, they you know, Feige or Filoni or Favreau. They like talking to Ash. They open. I feel like they open up to her a lot more anyway. So just to kind of give a preface.
00:24:50
Speaker
So they were at the Marvel's premiere. She was interviewing him, asked him a lot of obviously Marvel questions. And then the last questions he asked was about the Star Wars, his movie that was supposedly in development or whatnot. And she basically asked him, is this still happening? What's the latest? And he just said flat out, she asked him if it's still happening and all that. And he flat out just says no.
00:25:19
Speaker
And then that was it. So again, we kind of get confirmation that the Filoni or the Feige-produced Star Wars movie is no longer happening.
00:25:33
Speaker
again this for me is a nothing burger I don't care the fact he is not doing or producing a Star Wars movie he supposedly was gonna have Michael Waldron who has done Loki and I think that's a strange was like supposedly writing it I don't
00:25:51
Speaker
Okay, cool. I don't care. Feige's Star Wars produced movies not happening Cool. Let's what's next like I again This is one of those stories that people probably are freaking out about because like oh they want Feige to produce the Star Wars and you know blah blah blah blah I don't care
00:26:09
Speaker
I don't care. It would have been, would I have been fascinated to know what he was going to do? Absolutely. Like I would have loved to know like the era, the story, what, where were they going with it? That's selfishly me wanting to know the behind the scenes stuff.
00:26:26
Speaker
But do I care that it's not happening anymore? Absolutely not. I don't care. I don't care. Like, again, it's one of those. It's a Taika thing. It's similar. Like, I don't care. Like, yeah, again, I would have loved to know what he was going to do, what his arrow, all that. I want to know. I want to know what it would have been like. And maybe they will. Maybe they're going.
00:26:47
Speaker
Maybe they'll use some of the treatment or whatever he was writing and maybe they'll turn it into something new or maybe they already have. Maybe it's the race stuff. I don't know. We will never know. All we know is, is that, and we have, and thankfully he said it, right? It came from him. It's not a source. It's not a whatever straight from Feige's mouth. He just says, no, his production is produced. Star Wars movie is not happening and
00:27:14
Speaker
Is this a nothing burger? Is this a big burger? What type of burger is this?
00:27:22
Speaker
It's a nothing burger. I think, uh, I was surprised when it was first announced, like what, back in 2019, even maybe even before that. Right. Yeah. Just because he has so much responsibility, uh, around Marvel and the MCU and keeping that flowing. And the MCU is under attack all the time, just like Star Wars. So I'm sure he wants to, um, keep his concentration on, on that.
00:27:52
Speaker
Would it have been awesome? Yeah, again, he's a huge Star Wars fan, too. I mean, so allowing people to create content that was something that they were inspired by originally is cool and should happen. But he has another job, everybody. I don't know. He's kind of running one of the biggest IPs ever. So yeah, maybe carving out a little time to do the Star Wars thing.
00:28:22
Speaker
It was a little difficult, kids. So again, Ang, I'm with you. I would love to know what era, I would love to know the stories, but we're not going to. It's not happening anymore. So as fandom, I think we need to move on, right? There's just nothing for us, anything else for us to do. Now, how do you feel about his answer being so short?
00:28:50
Speaker
Again, what did you want? I think he was just being as direct as he could. Instead of like saying, well, you know, it's still like he could've, he could've good the whole roundabout saying no, right? But I like how he was just like, no. And just left it at that. Like, no, it's not happening anymore.
00:29:13
Speaker
Like, okay, that's, I mean, what else do you want? Like, what was Ash gonna do? Like, go into more depth with him? Like, that's probably the most straightforward answer she would've got from him, regardless. That's probably the most straightforward answer she could've got from him.
00:29:30
Speaker
I think he gave it. Yeah, I think he also knows that people like to read between the lines, and if he would have like expounded on his answer, people might have been like, Oh, no, he said this. So it might still happen. But it also makes me think that maybe he's a little bit sour about it not happening. So but that's just me speculating. You know what, you could be 100% right.
00:29:58
Speaker
It could be. I mean, if you listen to the sound bite, he was very just like, no, like just straight to the point. So again, I think like you, like you brought it up, Ang. He is running one of the biggest IPs. Yeah, dude, he's busy. And maybe, was he probably excited to do this? Oh yeah. But then maybe Marvel was like, Hey, hold on. I mean, maybe we need to, we need to think about some things.
00:30:26
Speaker
And maybe this isn't, again, maybe this is a, this isn't something that can't be circled back later on. Just maybe what he was producing or wanting to produce was something that they have already in mind for and they, again, right? So it's, never say never, but again, on this particular produced movie that he was going to do, it's not happening. And I'm fine with it, right?
00:30:55
Speaker
Again, do you take anything else out of out of that at all? Cuz I mean I'm with you Maybe he is or maybe not who knows right again the stories behind the books. I would love to read So I'll bring up my point of what I was gonna bring up with Taika with the naming of Dave Filoni as the new creative Whatever we'll get into that a little bit. It's possible that maybe with
00:31:24
Speaker
The creation of that, he was told, your story doesn't fit. I go after these things and this is against everything that I think Star Wars should be and we're not going to do it. It's possible.
00:31:40
Speaker
And I also think like when Taika, when it's Taika's time to do it and maybe like egos will clash as well too. So I'm going to really find this whole Filoni creative thing director very fascinating and how it collaborates other other geniuses of of film industry and what what it's going to be like.
00:32:07
Speaker
You're right. And I mean, let's, let's jump into it. I think you, the latest news, and this is per the vanity fair. This is by Anthony Breskin, who does a tremendous job on Star Wars. He's a very good writer.
00:32:26
Speaker
He does a very good job on reporting about Star Wars and this type of story. So again, this is, again, if you haven't read it, again, this is from Vanity Fair. Go read it. It's really good stuff. And we'll talk about some of the stuff that's in there, but yeah. So what came out of this, again, big picture is that Filoni is now the creative officer, chief creative officer of Lucasfilm.
00:32:51
Speaker
So some people might say, well, wasn't he already? No, he was not. He is now the chief creative officer. Was he he had another title before? I can't remember it, but it could be what now Carrie Beck is. And Carrie Beck is now the executive development of some. Let me see. She's the head of development. Yes. Carrie Beck, a veteran produced turned head of development.
00:33:22
Speaker
So, to kind of go what you were saying, we'll talk about what Floney said in this article, but again, to kind of tie it with the Feige Taika stuff, you could be right, right?
Filoni as Lucasfilm's Chief Creative Officer
00:33:34
Speaker
Maybe, again, this isn't just, you know, Floney wasn't just given this position yesterday. This has probably been in the works, and he's probably been this chief, you know, creative officer for a while.
00:33:51
Speaker
And they're probably just like saying, Oh yeah, by the way, he is. And Carrie Beck has probably been the head of development for a while. So what like to, like you're saying, when those, you know, those two people or when these internal changes happen, maybe that's when the, you know,
00:34:15
Speaker
they looked at what had been announced, and maybe that's where, again, like you're saying, the Kevin Feige stuff was like, you know what? Again, based on what they were trying to tell, it's not what we're going after right now. Again, maybe it's nothing that can't be done down the road, but the movie they wanted to produce, at least the characters, the story, or whatever, wasn't fitting what Lucasfilm wanted to do. Now, could this deter
00:34:43
Speaker
new talent or existing directors or producers like Evan Feige, away from doing Star Wars? I don't know. I feel like Dave Floney's a pretty chill guy. He's collaborated with people a la, you know, Favreau, John Favreau. He works with all these other directors, right? You know, Rick Famoia, he works with Bryce Dales Howard a lot.
00:35:13
Speaker
So it's not like he can't be collaborative, but I think there has to be a certain level of, again, my opinion, this isn't, I'm not reading between the tea leaves or the lines or whatever, but I think there's gotta be a collaborative understanding that, you know,
00:35:31
Speaker
They're doing what is best for Star Wars right now. What's the story they're trying to tell right now? This bigger, maybe arching story between the remnants of the Empire versus this New Republic, right? I feel like that's where they're focusing on right now. Again, we do know Daisy's movies coming. We do know this and that. Those other movies are coming, right? But right now, they are focusing on this era.
00:35:58
Speaker
And I feel like maybe that's why they're taking a pause on certain things like the Feige stuff. Is that how you feel, Ang? Is that what you're reading or how are you seeing this whole promotion thing? Which is, again, it's a big deal. Congrats to Dave Filoni. For sure. You know? Yeah.
00:36:16
Speaker
Absolutely. I mean, we've been saying since he directed his first episode in the Mandalorian, give this man some more stuff. He knows his stuff and he is rightfully named George Lucas's Padawan.
00:36:36
Speaker
He has the knowledge to be able to keep the essence of Star Wars in his storytelling. It's exactly what I was thinking. Maybe they got together, they said, hey, these are the things we've announced and this is what they're about and this is what they're going for.
00:37:01
Speaker
Dave is brought in earlier now and said possibly he said that's not what we're focusing on right now. So let's let's not even.
00:37:10
Speaker
keep that going. Put it on the back burner or whatever, right? Right. So it said in the article that he was always brought in after things were developed and now he's going to be part of the beginning of that process. So yeah, I think he's not going to be like walking around like, you know, just
00:37:34
Speaker
throwing papers and this is garbage. I'm not saying that. What I'm saying is he has respect to the story and he possibly just can say no on things that might have got green lit before with people that just look at things like names and sought at producers and things like that. And again, I think people will take this, Angel, I want to hear about the
00:38:03
Speaker
I think people will take it as a big, like a big slight to Kathleen Kennedy. And I don't believe that. I think this actually is smart. If she's, if this was obviously a group effort, right? Like I think it's smart for her to say, Hey, who is the guy that really knows, you know, about what George's vision would have been. Like she, she was, she, again, she was very close to George Lucas too. Let's not forget he wanted her.
00:38:31
Speaker
He wanted Kathleen. I mean, people forget that. Wanted her to run Lucasfilm. And now she's like, okay, who, you know, besides George, Paul Hale, the maker, who is the guy that knows as much, maybe even more, than George? And stay floating.
00:38:52
Speaker
So getting him into the room from the get, I think is smart. It's a smart move, like you're saying. I think now they can have a kind of particular
00:39:04
Speaker
and what they're trying to tell, right? And just like you're saying, maybe at, you know, before this, they were just like, let's do this, this, this, and this, right? You know, like, hey, you know, solo, let's do a Lando, let's do this, let's do that, right? So, but do you feel like- I mean, that's what it felt like, honestly. Right. Oh, I agree. It was all like, you get a movie, you get a movie, you get a movie. Right. And I was like, what? And again, but do you feel like it's a slight to Kathleen at all? I don't, but what do you- No, you're never-
00:39:35
Speaker
No, he works for her, you know, and he works directly with her now. And I think that's a little bit of, I'm sure George has conversations with Kathleen all the time and wants her knowledge passed down to him so that he can, I mean, Kathleen Kennedy is not going to be the director of Lucasfilm forever.
00:39:59
Speaker
There needs to be a succession plan. So the fact that people are going to think like, oh, Dave Filoni is going to take over Lucasfilm because Kathleen Kennedy did a bad job. That's not what's going on whatsoever.
00:40:16
Speaker
She is helping continue the legacy to stay strong into the future. And she is now bringing Carrie back and Dave Filoni under her wing and she's working directly with them. People are crazy. And again, who knows if Dave would even want to do Kathleen's job down the road.
00:40:42
Speaker
Right, I mean, for me, again, how I see it, I think this is a really good position for him as far as, again, kind of being the creative, the genius that he is creatively, storytelling-wise. You're putting him at the top, right? Why would he want to go, again, not to say that he doesn't, not to say that he doesn't have aspirations, but why would he want to be in charge of, like, then everything?
00:41:09
Speaker
the money, the producing, like all of that other stuff where he can just focus on the creative side of things, right? Again, carry back. You could argue, my opinion, she's kind of Dave's little panel one in a way, cause she's been, she's been with him for a long time.
00:41:30
Speaker
She's been a part of Rebels, a part of all the animation. Yeah, Clone Wars as well too. Didn't she pretty much had the bad batch? Yeah, she is heading, I mean, I'm pretty sure she's had the bad batch as well. So, I think, I feel like she left and then she came back too. She was gone for a minute, I thought. Maybe I'm wrong. But regardless, I feel like she is kind of Dave's maybe. Again, I could be totally off base.
00:41:59
Speaker
But she is very, I feel like she and Filoni are very on the same page. They see the same things, maybe believe in the same things as far as Star Wars. And that's why he's kind of bringing her along, or not to say that he's bringing her along, but that's maybe why he trusts her. Because when he stepped away from the animation side, who did he give it to? He gave it to Carrie.
00:42:27
Speaker
and Carrie has been running it since. So it's a big deal. And again, could this be part of the whole, like, this is gone, you know, we're not doing that movie or whatnot. Yeah, maybe. But again, I think it's for the better. I definitely think it's for the better. Now, there's a lot again.
00:42:49
Speaker
If you haven't read the article, go read it. There's a lot of good stuff in there. I know there's a couple of things you want to, you texted me and you want to maybe bring up within the article, like kind of who Dave Filoni is, what he has, I guess his visions, right? And what he sees Star Wars in particular, Anakin and kind of his thoughts on that and some other things. So I know the one Ang that you brought up,
00:43:19
Speaker
And then we can talk about. Is when he is when he talks about. And I mean, really, it's about the the character of Anakin. And kind of how his feelings about. Who is really behind that character, you know, so so go ahead, if you got if you have that up or if you want to.
00:43:44
Speaker
Again, kind of just give kind of a quick synopsis of what he was talking about with the character of Anakin and how it relates to George.
Anakin's Role in Ahsoka
00:43:53
Speaker
Yeah, you know, he brought up how bringing Anakin into Ahsoka and leaving a lot of it up to interpretation. Like, is he a force ghost? Is he a vision? Is he really there? Like, all those types of things. Did he travel through the world between worlds? So he is there.
00:44:17
Speaker
Dave's not going to give away those answers. He's going to leave it up for the audience to interpret. But the reason behind that is because he feels like George Lucas is the storyteller of Anakin and Darth Vader. That's his baby and responsibility. And he's not going to encroach on that too much, because he also feels like George told that entire story the way and capped it off, the way that it should be.
00:44:47
Speaker
So when Dave brings Anakin into a story, it's more to highlight what's going on with Ahsoka than to continue telling Anakin's story, which I found absolutely fascinating because when Ahsoka ended and the last shot was Anakin, you know, your mind races and you're like, are we going to get more Anakin?
00:45:10
Speaker
And is he now an integral part of the force and all that stuff? And maybe that will come up. But for now, the article explains very well that the purpose of having Anakin in that story was to demonstrate what Ahsoka is going through.
00:45:28
Speaker
You know, with the strike happening, a lot of these interviews we didn't really get to see during the during the as the show premiered and episodes were released. So now we're getting all that information in. And like you said, Lauren, this article is great if you.
00:45:47
Speaker
want to revisit Ahsoka and get the mindset of what everyone was going through, not just Filoni, but Rosario Dawson, Bordizo, all of that. It's in this article. Yeah, it's really good stuff. I mean, I think one of the things that he talks about is, again, is the forest ghost stuff, right? And how, you know, is it a forest ghost? What is their true, you know,
00:46:18
Speaker
true intentions, and he kind of, I mean, again, Davey and Davey, he leaves it vague, right? But he basically hints at is that they're just there to help and guide our hero, right? A-la, Obi-Wan with Luke, right? And that's been very kind of clear, I feel like, that, again, the Force ghosts don't interfere.
00:46:43
Speaker
They're there just to mentor and to help the next generation of Jedi, or the next, you know, whatever. And that's smart. And I totally, again, when he talks about Anakin and he talks about how that's George's, you know, that's basically George's story. He's told it, I'm not changing any, I'm not touching it. I am just using this character as, again, a focal point for my character, Ahsoka, to learn from and to reflect on.
00:47:12
Speaker
for her own journey, right? And to see how those two work with each other is very like Dave working with George, right? Like you can only almost kind of parallel it with George and with Dave's relationship with George. How again, George is not in the room anymore, right?
00:47:38
Speaker
he's probably a force ghost kind of hanging around and like he probably reaches out and talks to him like that's how he probably sees it too in real life so it's life imitating art for me my again that's just how I'm reading it between the lines but then he talked again talking about the just being that creative you know chief creative officer I don't think it's gonna change him at all
Future of Star Wars Storytelling
00:48:05
Speaker
I don't think it's really going to change anything. We might not really even feel or see this change for a while. Right. Because let's obviously he's probably been in this role for a while. Obviously this isn't just like, hey, starting today, like he's been doing this probably for a while. So I don't think we will start seeing that until maybe we get into it. Maybe this is part of it. Maybe, maybe this whole mano versus kind of where it began.
00:48:36
Speaker
Right like maybe I'm not saying that goes that far back But maybe that's when when he you know joined to do Mando and want to do Ahsoka Boba fat and all that stuff like Maybe that was kind of his beginning and then they're like, okay, let's start with Dave Dave This is what we were this is what we're thinking. What do you think? right and like you're saying instead of being a
00:49:02
Speaker
the second to know he's in those conversations now. And it's really, really, I think it's a good thing. Again, I don't think he's going to take over Star Wars. He's not doing anything like that. But I think it's a good move for him. It's a good, solid, I think, smart move. And what he can do, what he can accomplish, I think it's big. I don't think we'll see it.
00:49:28
Speaker
Immediately, but I think we will start seeing it. I think soon rather sooner than rather than later Any other quotes anything else you want to bring up and that I think you that you kind of that caught your eye Yeah, the Ray Stevenson stuff I found excellent and um
00:49:52
Speaker
kind of talking about the thought process of Rey while he was playing Baelin and Dave trying to convey to him that he was a villain. That whole part was just fascinating because
00:50:09
Speaker
We were absolutely fascinated with Bailin while we were watching the show of what is he about? Is he dark side? Is he light side? Is he after power? Is he after a new way? Like what is all of this? And this article really addresses that and also brings up a little bit of the way Bailin was playing it.
00:50:34
Speaker
And it's just absolutely fascinating. And then it also talks about having the mortis gods there.
00:50:46
Speaker
Who was going to get that and why was it necessary to put it in there? And Filoni flat out says like the imagery of it. Honest, that's that's what it is. It's fascinating. There's a small group of fans that are going to catch it and think something of it, which I think is just, you know, Filoni keeping keeping a tight leash on on his ideas and what he's going to go with later.
00:51:11
Speaker
But it's great to hear that stuff as a Star Wars fan, that he knows what we think, right? And he knows where we go with things. And he also knows what the actors think and how that helps the performance. And it's just really beautiful that Dave
00:51:34
Speaker
is now put in this position so that the beginning of these stories can stay in this sort of era and realm that keeps the story interlocked from different types of shows.
00:51:49
Speaker
Again, that's, I think, maybe part of his whole thing of him being able to say, we can connect all this stuff now, right? And that's because he is giving this opportunity to be this creative chief, you know, chief creative officer and being in charge of the storytelling in a way, right? Again, not to say that he is basically the storytelling group, but he is kind of the storytelling group now. Again, not to say that.
00:52:18
Speaker
Pablo, any of the other people in that story, in that group, aren't like, again, part of it. But I think it goes from him to them. Right. I mean, which would make sense. I think the one thing I, uh, you know, when you're talking about Clone Wars, Mortis Gods, all that stuff, and just in how you're saying how he realized how important that is to fans, but then also the, how important this character, Balan is now.
Character Study: Bailan and Ray Stevenson
00:52:48
Speaker
You know, and he did bring up, I mean, he brought up that they're, you know, with what they're going to do with this character's journey. And obviously he said there is, there's, there's story, there's a story. He knows that, but they're just, he said they're in a wait and see pattern at this point, you know, but he said is he's, but he said that he's glad the conversations about Ray and how great he was, you know, and that's when you, when you, and then that's when he brings up, like you're saying, the debate that he and Ray had.
00:53:16
Speaker
about Ray being a villain and then, you know, Ray Stevenson saying, I don't think so. And, but you can really see that. Yeah. Cause you and I just like, we talked about that and that comes off the screen of that, of, of that kind of like conversation they had. Uh, am I a villain? I don't think I'm the villain, but you know, this is how I'm, and that's how Ray played it. Ray played it very ambiguous, I feel. I think too, like.
00:53:46
Speaker
to perfection. So and you and I said this to you, you were on the Mortis God stuff long before I was. So for him to bring this up in the article, I feel as fascinating though, too. Because I again, again, it's the understanding that some people will know, but also it's the it's the way of introducing these characters to the general audience.
00:54:15
Speaker
through this new character of Baelin Skrull. Again, read the article, kids. There's a lot of gems. A lot of gems. Yeah, the one more gem I want to bring up is Bordizo is talking about Dave. And she says, you just learn a lot from Dave in general, I think. He knows that he is traditional in the sense of how he learned so much from George. He has these pillars.
00:54:44
Speaker
of storytelling that are dear to him, and then everything else can be untraditional. And if you go a little bit farther down in the article, then they also talk about, like, what is the future for new writers, directors, and producers? And Dave Flatout says, like, I'm not telling them what to do, but I do feel I'm trying to help them tell the best story that they want to tell. I need to be a help across a galaxy here, like a part of a Jedi Council almost.
00:55:14
Speaker
So I think the combination of those two quotes really kind of show what the future of Star Wars is going to be. There are things that cannot go unchanged and need to be represented in Star Wars. And then from there, man, you can do whatever you want. And
00:55:35
Speaker
I think that's great because I would hate for Star Wars to get away from what it stands for and we've talked about that like a lot of times like
00:55:49
Speaker
Personally, if I bring in the thought of time travel and correcting things, I get really nervous about the way the storytelling would change. And knowing that Dave is now in this role, keeping those pillars that he learned from George and find important to stay in place throughout the storytelling,
00:56:11
Speaker
I'm really this is such a great decision by Lucasfilm by Kathleen Kennedy by whoever Made it because it keeps consistency but it allows for This this like freedom of trying things new so you always still feel like you're in Star Wars and
00:56:36
Speaker
Yep. No, a hundred percent agree. I, again, for him to say that he's not going to tell people how to write a story, but hey, this is kind of, again, keeping it all together, keeping it a singular vision. And I think, I think you and I have talked about that where I think sometimes it, it has left.
00:57:00
Speaker
I mean, right or wrong, sometimes the stories don't connect as much as we want. You can see it. It's there. You and I have talked about the sequel trilogy and how there's a lot of connecting threads. Some of them make sense. Some of them are messy. Some of it doesn't connect at all. Right? So I'm hoping like you're saying that this gives that
00:57:26
Speaker
the opportunity for these people to tell their Star Wars story, but again, to keep it in, I don't want to say a certain box or, you know, cause he's not saying they're going to, they're going to constrain them. They're just going to help them. They're going to enable them to tell the story they want and still make it all, I guess, connecting away. Right. So again, that's a huge, I think I'm glad they put that
Guiding New Star Wars Writers
00:57:53
Speaker
in the article. I'm glad Anthony did.
00:57:55
Speaker
and not like omit it. Because again, I think that's important. Dave's like distinction of I'm not, I'm not here telling them that this is the story. I'm here to help them to tell that story basically. You know, so I, yeah. He's a fascinating guy, man. I would love to talk to him. I would love to talk to him. Just for, give me 20 minutes, man. I would just love to pick his brain.
00:58:21
Speaker
Poor birthday twins, me and him. Yeah. Did you know that? Yeah. I remember you. Yeah. Smart people born in that day. Let me tell you. Me and Gemini, they're just... And that's why you're on the mortise stuff well before anybody. You and Dave. You and Dave. That's a Gemini mind. It's a Gemini mind, baby. But yeah, I think, again, it's a fascinating article and I think... Will we see this immediate kind of...
00:58:50
Speaker
Okay, this is you know That change has done this this and this or whatever it might take some time, but again. I feel like We've started to see it already sprinkles right because Of them doing this Mando stuff right connecting Mando with Ahsoka with Boba fat again skeleton crew apparently is supposed to be a part of this Mando verse and
00:59:14
Speaker
So it makes sense that they need a guy, a singular vision dude, to kind of oversee that, right? Because if you don't, this is where it kind of gets all, like you're saying, chaotic, right? You get a movie, you get a movie, you get a movie. Okay, well, what's the vision of these movies? You're just letting them tell whatever story they want? So there has to be some type of
00:59:38
Speaker
again, collective, like, okay, we need to stay in a lane, so to speak, right? And I think with him, I think that's what they're trying to do, right? I think with, again, with Carrie, I think that's what, this is what it's going to be, I think, encompassing for the future. And I think that's why I'm excited to see where this goes, right? To see what stories you're going to tell now.
01:00:04
Speaker
and to see the connection because I know that's a lot of people want connections, connections, connections, right? Because of Marvel. I mean, you know, I've talked about that before. How Marvel has connected their universe so well. People want Star Wars to do it. I think we are getting that version now.
Interconnecting Star Wars Stories
01:00:21
Speaker
It's not going to be like it's not going to be like Marvel, right? We're not going to play. We're not going to do this like, you know, 10 movie crescendo into this ultimate like whatever.
01:00:33
Speaker
Are we getting that with Dave's supposed movie? Maybe, maybe not. We'll find out, but I think it's a good thing. I know people are, again, like you're saying, I know everybody's gonna want him to take over Lucasfilm and get rid of Kathleen. This isn't what it's about. That's not why he, I think, has got this position.
01:01:00
Speaker
I think Kathleen realized, I think they realized that they needed a singular person to help out with that. And of course they gave it to Dave. And it makes sense. Makes sense. Ang, any other quotes or anything else you want to talk about within the article? No. What about the Andor trailer? No, okay. So I did send you that. And apparently it's from Celebration.
01:01:28
Speaker
Oh, really not even it's an old again. Apparently, it's an old one. OK, so because I maybe I just never I just never saw it. I never saw it before or I just or I completely forgot that I watched it. Either way, dude, and or can't wait, dude. Absolutely. All all Star Wars is good. Honestly, I don't want to be that person. I'm not like a Disney shill or anything like that. But I but.
01:01:58
Speaker
I watched the last episode of Book of Boba Fett the other day and I was like, damn, this is good. And then I watched the last two episodes of Obi-Wan and I was like, dang, I really like this. Oh, like it's so funny to revisit after you're familiar with it and just watch it as entertainment and
01:02:19
Speaker
It's it's great. What's going on with and or I have to re I got to rewatch it. Me too. But God, I can't wait to rewatch it because it's just. It's so good. Those last couple of episodes, bro. Oh, it's so good. Like, it's so good. So I'm I'm excited to see what they do with that. But again, so we have. What we know for sure. And or season two skeleton crew.
01:02:50
Speaker
And I think bad, I mean, not that I think bad, bad season three, I think are the three that we know for sure. Right. Cause in this article, they don't even know if they're getting an Ahsoka season two, like there's a point and there's a part in this article where Dave says they announced at celebration that he's getting a movie and he said, well,
01:03:15
Speaker
Then because of that, I assumed that maybe I also am going to have a season two to continue the storytelling of Ahsoka. He says, but he doesn't even know. Um, I'm sure they talk about it, but it still hasn't been announced if there's gonna be an Ahsoka season two or something adjacent where it continues that story. Right. We don't know. Right. And he doesn't know. And maybe that's good. Maybe they're taking their time.
01:03:40
Speaker
to kind of say, OK, where do we need to go next? How does this fit? Should we do another season? I mean, again, it's business, right? It is a business. They have to make business decisions. So we'll see. Again, I'm excited to see what we have in the future. Again, we do know we have Andor, Skeleton Group, Bad Batch, R3 for sure.
Upcoming Star Wars Releases
01:04:07
Speaker
are going to, are lock loaded, ready to go, right? Beyond that, again, we know supposedly Daisy, you know, Daisy has a movie. We know Filoni has, again, a movie. We know the guy that did James Mangold, James Mangold has a movie. So we know, again, we know Taika.
01:04:34
Speaker
Hike is doing a movie. So those are again, once that we're, we feel we're pretty confident in that as they're happening, the three for sure we know skeleton crew, which is already done. It just hasn't come out yet. Unless they're doing, you know, rewrites or something that we're not aware of, but same with the acolyte. Oh, and the acolyte. Thank you. Yes. Then an acolyte. So acolyte skeleton crew bad batch season three and and or season two, those are the four we know for sure we're getting.
01:05:03
Speaker
100% they are done. We are just waiting to have them come out, right? My question to you, will any of those come out before celebration? Oh yeah. I mean, celebration's not until 2025. Oh, it is? I think they were having one in 2024. No, Japan's, I think they pushed it back again two years to 2025. Pretty sure. So we'll get at least
01:05:34
Speaker
At least one, maybe two or three. How could we get to Japan, Lauren? Bro, I don't have the money for Japan. No, I don't either. So then I'm trying to think of how do we do that? Because that's going to be great. It would be great. That will never happen. Again, in this economy, well, bro, in this economy for sure. But again, because it's only three days.
01:06:04
Speaker
the 18th, 19th, and 20th of April in 2025. So it's only three days. So I feel like for me, like at least when I went to Cali, it's four days. Chicago, four days. It has a little more time. Three days in Japan with a flight and everything, that's a lot. Godspeed for those who are going, I'm not jealous, I wanna go. But it's just not in the cards. But no, it's 2025.
01:06:32
Speaker
I think we'll get, so we're not getting anything, we're not getting anything obviously at the end of this year, as far as we know. 2024, we could get, we could get Bad Batch season three. I expect Acculite. And then I think for sure, again, Skeleton Crew has been like done and wrapped, so we gotta be getting that.
01:07:02
Speaker
Soon very soon. Maybe that's the first thing that hits maybe we get that very early 2024 and Then I think maybe we again I don't I don't know how much they want to release in a year because that's a that's a thing too, right? Releasing all this content and within a year so again, we know we and I'm pretty sure Acculite has been wrapped and done as well and
01:07:30
Speaker
I feel like. I think so too, but I think they needed to do some reshoots. Okay. The strike kind of got in the way of that. So maybe they're not as a hundred percent done as I think skeleton crew is. I think skeleton crew was pretty much done wrapped and filmed. They were just doing the editing. So that's probably going to come out. I would guess bad batch then.
01:07:55
Speaker
I think Andor was still season two was still filming or they were just about to. Or when the strike happened or they were like, again, mid filming, mid production when they were. So that's probably not coming out, maybe not until 2025. Again, depending on how long, how far along they've gotten with that. I don't think they have gotten that much as far as my understanding for
01:08:22
Speaker
And or season two. I feel like during the strike, what's this fit? Um, the director guy talked about how they, where they were pre-strike and they had, you know, they had some stuff and all of it, but the one that we know is basically in the can and probably ready is skeleton group. So after that, I would think the animation might be a little bit bastard to do as far as, but who knows? I don't know how far along they are on that.
01:08:52
Speaker
So I would think the next thing that comes out is Skeleton Crew, though. And then again, after that, who knows? But we do know we're getting Andor, Season 2, Acculite, and then Bad Batch, which I'm excited. I can't wait to see how Bad Batch wraps up. That's animations. My jam, your jam. I love it. Both love animation.
01:09:16
Speaker
Alright, anything else Andrew before we bounce out of here? Nope, this has been fun. Yeah, it's good to talk about news. We don't do it a lot because usually there's not a lot. There hasn't been really a lot. There hasn't been news. There hasn't really been a lot of news in Star Wars, other than just rumors, which we try to stay away from. But this was a bit, you know, this article is big for the Filoni one. Again, Vanity Fair. Go check it out. Athony Brothers didn't. It was a really fantastic job.

Do you know how heartbreaking that is? That's a lot. Yes. How long do they have to serve? What's the? 18 months. So a year and a half. Oh, wow. A year and a half without any BTS? A year and a half without any Jimin or Jungkook. Like, how do I live?
