That's all I can legally play before we get copyright strike. One day we'll make it big and we'll get licensing. For sure. I'm sure that costs like millions of dollars just to use 10 seconds of that song.
00:01:05

Oh, how much did it cost to use that one? Like a couple hundred Free 99. Allegedly. YouTube link to MP3 converter.
00:01:16

That's the way to do it. Welcome to the Star Wars special. In celebration of May the 4th, we're going to do a Star Wars themed episode. We've got some fun segments, Star Wars hot takes, opinions, trivia, personal top threes, what have you.
00:01:34
Speaker
How do you guys, ah what is what is y'all's relationship with the Star Wars? Love it. Why? ah ah Lightsabers.
00:01:47
Speaker
Space. How long have you loved this? Since ah The Phantom Menace came out. So I was, was that 99? So I was like five. It came out in 99?
00:01:59
Speaker
I think so. Wow. so I was like five. um Yeah, I just grew up watching it, kind of like Lord the Rings, um kind of the same time. And it's just an easily likable fantasy sci-fi type of thing.
00:02:15
Speaker
I've been watching Star Wars for so long, i don't even remember the first time I watched it. um The first time i can remember remember watching it is when we lived in England, so I might have been in kindergarten.
00:02:29
Speaker
Well, actually, across the pond, it's called Reception. was in Reception. That's crazy. Yeah. But that's the first time I can really remember watching. I remember watching the prequels. I remember talking about General Grievous extensively on the playground at Warminster Preparatory Academy.
00:02:47
Speaker
um shout out yeah shout out never forget the ones that got you there i'd kill to see a small alex at a what is it called a conservatory uh that's not the right word preparatory academy preparatory yeah conservatory is not the right word i would kill to see a small version of you just gushing about general grievous um I mean, there's some pictures from that era when I'm in my uniform.
00:03:13
Speaker
It's crazy. I need to see that. you dress like him? No, I never did. um But I did dress like a ah ah character that ended up in my top three side characters for Halloween once. Oh.
00:03:23
Speaker
How... and the how it how ah What was y'all skill level for lightsaber battles? Oh, like 12 out of 10. You think you were good?
00:03:36
Speaker
I'll just say this. As soon as Revenge of the Sith came out and there's there's this move in the final battle. I know but and know which one. It's a spinny, really unnecessary, but badass wrist movement with the power saber. Yeah.
00:03:54
Speaker
yeah um I learned that like as soon as the movie was done. My brother and I would try to like choreograph that perfect and start slow and be like, all right, we got to get it perfect. And then we're to just like right there.
00:04:06
Speaker
um I would also say my lightsaber skills were a 12 out of 10. Your lightsaber? Did say lightsaber? It's okay. lightsaber skills were a 12 out of 10 we used to uh in fifth grade we would take our our lightsabers to school and then battle battle in the backyard and whatever the back of the school is called playground in the playground thank you um and we got in trouble with the principal because they are weapons and we weren't allowed to bring weapons to school But i was the sick I was sick with the double-edged lightsaber. Does the Second Amendment cover lightsabers?
00:04:42
Speaker
I'm sure it does. I'm sure it does. Alex, were you and were you skilled at all? don' I don't know what you're talking about. don't have lightsaber skills. I'm just a merely chancellor who grew up on Naboo.
00:04:53
Speaker
i don't use a lightsaber. So, 0 out of 10 lightsaber skills. Sounds like something a Sith would say.
00:05:01
Speaker
Yeah, we'll call it 0 out of 10. Zero out of ten. But don't come try and arrest me for crimes against the Senate. Tachi, did it haven't we had lightsaber duel in our past?
00:05:15
Speaker
Like, why do I have a memory of being in an Alamo parking lot after one the... That's right. That happened, right? Or am I just making that up? It was Force Awakens or The Last Jedi. I think was Force Awakens.
00:05:28
Speaker
I think it was Force Awakens. Wait, no. No, it had have been last Jedi, but I'm pretty sure we fought in the the theater parking lot. I think Nathan was there too.
00:05:39
Speaker
Nathan was there. Oh my God. Thanks for the invite. I didn't know you.
00:05:47
Speaker
You weren't even alive. so it's kind of like You could have known me. You didn't make an effort. That's true. How dare you? It sounds like we need to get lightsabers meet at the park at 10 p.m. I have three.
00:05:59
Speaker
You do? yeah Yeah. we We need to fight on ah the Austin Pedestrian Bridge and get someone to film from the Lamar Bridge with like the colors like flailing everywhere. It'd be kind of epic.
00:06:16
Speaker
It'd go hard. It would go hard. That would be so much fun, actually. We would be so cool. We'd be so cool. I don't think anyone would make fun of us at any point. No. And I think people would cheer, honestly.
00:06:29
Speaker
they think they would gather and cheer. the the victor would be hoisted and paraded downtown. That's the dream. I want to go to... y'all been to Disney? I don't know if it's at Disneyland or Disney World, but they've got the whole like Star Wars experience and you can build your own lightsaber.
00:06:47
Speaker
I've never been, but I really want to go. I really want to do that. I've heard it's not that great. That it's kind of just like a... Oh, I've heard it's awesome. Really? Yeah, I've heard it's awesome.
00:06:57
Speaker
Like to the whole experience, not just the lightsaber thing. Yeah. But the whole experience. Yeah, that would be of fun. think it's called, was it Galaxy's Edge? Galaxy's Edge. Yeah. I've heard it's pretty cool. It could be because maybe Disney has subliminally bought my friends without my knowledge and they're advertising to me.
00:07:17
Speaker
um It could be I mean that could be a thing But I've i've heard from people That I've went that's really cool I think my sister went when she went to Disney and she really liked it Isn't it like super expensive though to get the lightsaber like 300 bucks Oh, I'm sure it is. Everything there costs like a trillion dollars. Yeah.
00:07:34
Speaker
It's Disney. The custom ones? Like where you you choose your color and whatever? Yeah. And you do like the whole thing. Your little crystal. Uh-huh. I would do it. think it'd be worth it. Yeah. we spent How much money did we spend at Criterion?
00:07:45
Speaker
Oh my God. i don't know. She told me the total. I was surprised by the total that she that she told me. because it was three movies, ah hat, and then my little truck.
00:07:58
Speaker
So i was like in my head, I was like, okay, maybe like $160. I think it was north of like $250. And I said, I can't put any of this back. So just gave gave her my card and then walked away.
00:08:12
Speaker
Oh, yeah. I blacked out on the price, but it was over $100 for the both of us. It was worth it. Oh, it's so worth it. Yeah. I look at that truck. I the truck on my desk, actually. Oh, I do, too.
00:08:23
Speaker
I got my little Criterion truck. Is that there is that like there their logo? Yeah. Yeah. We went inside of that truck. They shrink you down Ant-Man style, and you go inside.
00:08:38
Speaker
Seven out of ten people don't come back out, though. Oh. Yeah. Some people get stuck at risky as tiny forever. Anyway, um yeah, i think we can... Honestly, if you guys want, we can kind of just we can just skip the movie news if we want to immediately just go into into the Star Wars hot takes.
00:08:55
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah? Yeah, I guess we could save the movie news for the next episode. and Yeah. um Because, I mean, The Rock, as a wrestler, isn't really Star Wars related, so...
00:09:08
Speaker
I did want to give a shout out, though. We did pull the data on our listeners. 19 states are listening to Lost in the Frame. So if my guy math is correct, that means there's at least 19 people listening to this. At least.
00:09:22
Speaker
At least 19. And you know what? Not I think that's pretty cool. That's really cool. So really appreciate you guys. you're listening to this, if you're the one listener from Iowa... Shout out to you. Oh, yeah. Yeah. You're a real one.
00:09:35
Speaker
We like you. Any international listeners? No, no internationals. it was just America. we have a yeah We have a Mississippi listener and Oregon. so Nice.
00:09:47
Speaker
Mississippi might be me since that's where i'm from. Mississippi. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Mississippi would be you. Yeah. i don't know who lives there anymore. Thanks, all 19 of you. Yeah. Thank you so much.
00:09:58
Speaker
Star Wars hot takes. Oh, we starting off hot. we're gonna Are we cooking with gas? Yeah, we're going to build up or just start with magma. what do you want to What do you want to build up with? like and This is a special. This is this is from the heart.
00:10:13
Speaker
We don't have any framework for this episode. No script. Let's actually open it let's actually open it up To the floor. With how we feel about the current state of Star Wars.
00:10:26
Speaker
Which I feel. May be negative. And then we can wrap it all up. By talking about the love that we do. All still have for this franchise. But let's just get it all out there.
00:10:37
Speaker
How are we feeling about the state of Star Wars. The current state of Star Wars. Is bordering on a failed state. The economy has collapsed. The government is in shambles.
00:10:48
Speaker
People are dying in the streets. It's not good. But I won't speak for everybody. Glup Shido is homeless. heat he's been He's been deported.
00:11:00
Speaker
Might be a little too on the nose for us. Tachi, how do you feel about the current state of Star Wars? It's not great. Could be better.
00:11:11
Speaker
Well said. Thank you. I feel... ah I feel, um, honestly, I feel like out of the loop for this episode just because there's been so much Star Wars content the last five years or so, and I virtually watched none of it.
00:11:27
Speaker
So I don't know what's happening. i don't know why it's happening. Well, let let me fill you in a little bit. Okay. Um, this will be our Alex monologue for this episode.
00:11:39
Speaker
you know, last weekend I did, uh, Or Warfare 1. And this one we're doing Star Warfare. so Oh, well done. That was good. ah That was straight from the dome.
00:11:54
Speaker
So, I mean, we... Disney has kind of taken a similar approach with Star Wars as it has its Marvel IP in that they were trying to push out as much content as humanly possible.
00:12:11
Speaker
and it started off, I think, outside of the movies, except for Rogue One, was not a fan of really any of the three sequels. i I liked The Force Awakens when I saw it in theaters. This is a complete like diversion from the main topic. I like The Force Awakens when I saw it in theaters, but the more I watch it, the more i just my opinion tanks. um But ah a glut of the Star Wars content now is coming in the form of these TV shows slash mini slash miniseries.
00:12:43
Speaker
ah Disney started with a bang, I thought. Uh, with season seven of the clone wars, there was one good arc. There was one really bad arc, but the last arc they did the siege of Mandalore that kind of finished off the clone war saga.
00:12:59
Speaker
I thought as some of my favorite star Wars media ever, and maybe a hot take, that's an honorable mention is that if it was a standalone movie, it would be in my top three. Like if those four episodes were released in theaters as a movie,
00:13:13
Speaker
it might be top three Star Wars movies for me. I liked them that much. But after that, I mean, they started releasing everything. And um we had The Mandalorian. We had The Book of Boba Fett.
00:13:26
Speaker
We had um The Bad Batch. We had Star Wars Rebels. we Actually, Star Wars Rebels, I think, was the first Disney thing that Star Wars... The first Star Wars media Disney made.
00:13:39
Speaker
Ahsoka... We had Andor. We had Skeleton Crew, Obi-Wan. Now we have Andor Season 2. And The Acolyte.
00:13:50
Speaker
Yeah, that Which I didn't watch. I did. I'm counting 14.
00:13:56
Speaker
i think i think these are all TV shows. 14 shows since 2020. mean, that almost sounds right. Because there were some that were made and I just i never watched. like resist Skeleton Crew?
00:14:08
Speaker
Never saw it. Don't even know what that is. It's got Jude it does have It does have Jude Law. Jude Law and a bunch of kids. the But what Disney is doing is it's similar to, I think, at least my opinion of the Marvel shows, is they are just throwing money Lucasfilms to just produce content.
00:14:29
Speaker
Like they have turned Star Wars from, you know, a very. They're turning it into just like a content farm. Yeah. And they are like trying to get back their billion dollar investment in the form of just bad television.
00:14:47
Speaker
And um I think a lot of it stems from the mistake that they made with the sequel movies. and This is one of the biggest mistakes I think I've ever seen in like a franchise of this caliber of not having like a coherent story through the three movies of the sequel trilogy.
00:15:06
Speaker
And they wrote themselves into this like. Hell hole. that they now have to try and navigate around and get around and you end up just with a lot of like terrible, meaningless, um soulless stories that are just getting put out on TV, you know, trying to nostalgia bait people into watching them. I mean, like the Obi-Wan show was a show that I felt looked, looked very good.
00:15:37
Speaker
There were some cool moments, but I didn't need that to be a television show at all. It was supposed to be a movie, and I don't even know if a movie was needed. In fact, it like retroactively makes some of Star Wars not make sense.
00:15:50
Speaker
Like like if you stick it in there as like, this is canon, it doesn't make sense. I see that being a constant, a constant point of conversation with just like what's canon, what's not canon. And it's all kind of just like just. it's it's It is canon. Anything Disney makes is canon. Anything that was extra media pre Disney was erased from the canon.
00:16:12
Speaker
They can do that. What? They just did that. They literally just did that. They pushed everything into something called Legends. um But you end up having a lot of this...
00:16:23
Speaker
like rewrite media that is it all feels uncalled for. doesn't feel like original or wanted stories. It's literally just baiting people into watching it, which it's... I'll use the example of Andor.
00:16:38
Speaker
mean, who wanted an Andor show? Like, ah a side character in Rogue One got his own TV show? I was like, who cares? But it actually turned out to be really good because...
00:16:49
Speaker
The people who made it took the time to set up and write what I think is a really well done story. My roommate doesn't really think so. He's catching up on season one right now. But then Obi-Wan was like all all style, no substance.
00:17:04
Speaker
And you see a lot of that in the the media they're putting out and people are not reacting to it well. I mean, you're seeing a lot of hate for it online. A lot of people are criticizing the hate, but I think it's very valid.
00:17:17
Speaker
I think, I think a lot of the criticism is very valid. I mean, there's always criticism that I'll disagree with some that I don't think is valid. You know, anyone complaining about like Star Wars DE&I I think is dumb. Like, come on. It,
00:17:29
Speaker
about aliens, dude. like Yeah. yeah you and You actually hit on ah the the first hot take I had which was not honestly not even a hot take because everybody would agree in that this entire franchise is just oversaturated.
00:17:44
Speaker
It's so oversaturated. like so ah Star Wars media used to feel like an event. Like, I remember when i remember when the Clone Wars came out when I was in middle school. And that was, like, a big deal. Yeah.
00:17:55
Speaker
Like, yeah like a Cartoon Network has a Star Wars show. Like, it was a huge deal. And now it's like, I mean, I watched three episodes of Ahsoka and just was like, i don't care. or Like, I don't care.
00:18:08
Speaker
And it's like, well, season two is going to have, like, Like, no, it it did not interest me in the slightest. Season two has Glup Shido. It does have Glup Shido. Why don't you explain to our listeners what Glup Shido is?
00:18:22
Speaker
So Glup Shido, Star Wars fan's favorite character, Glup Shido. So this all stemmed from a Tumblr post, user Gom Jabbar.
00:18:35
Speaker
Posted this on Tumblr on September 3rd, 2020. The Dune reference is crazy. ah And it the post is, every time a new Star Wars movie or show is announced, all the fans are like, OMG, Glub Shitto is back.
00:18:50
Speaker
Crying face emoji, crying face emoji, crying face emoji. And so now Glove Shido is just used loosely to what I would describe as ah jangling keys.
00:19:00
Speaker
So I think it extends beyond even just like Star Wars now. I think it can also be referenced a lot in Marvel when it's just, it's like nostalgia bait. What are we going to do to get people ah here?
00:19:12
Speaker
And also, and also I would say Glove Shido is just like, Very minor characters that are super obscure that no one in your immediate circle would know of, but you do. And you only you do. And you're going to be the only one to get this reference because you watched XYZ.
00:19:30
Speaker
That's what Star Wars is now. And for some reason, they get inexplicably thrown in everything. Yeah. Like this minor character has like its own spinoff show. Yeah.
00:19:42
Speaker
So I guess in a way, Andor could be Glub Shido, but... And it was kind of a glove, but it works. The best example. I mean, Star Wars has so many examples of like clear fan service, but like it actually works really, really well.
00:19:58
Speaker
It's like, oh, you want to hate it, but they pulled it off so good. There's a lot. There's a lot. It's stupid, but they they got a couple just gemstones of examples.
00:20:08
Speaker
I think that's just the benefit of having a world based experience. in space like the star wars world is based in space so there just endless stories to tell the problem though is as you mentioned there are stories that we don't care about and there stories that were not crafted with care and is and yeah it's just oversaturated with Shit.
00:20:34
Speaker
Yeah, my my second hot take was, ah let's move on from the Skywalkers. Yes. It's not interesting. No more Skywalker. Well, we just got a new one, so I don't know what... Your wish is not going to be granted because we just retroactively got...
00:20:51
Speaker
Ray Palpatine. I know. To now be Ray Skywalker. And then this Starfighter. Ryan Gosling movie. I think is set only 10 years after. After whatever the.
00:21:04
Speaker
Last sequel trilogy movie was. So you know. You know Skywalker is going to pop up somewhere. Tachi what are some of your hot takes. That you that you wrote down for Star Wars. I think generally.
00:21:15
Speaker
When I just. Quickly you think about all the movies. I don't think there's any bad casting. I think all the casting was really well done. Like, sure, there could be better actors, but I don't inherently have a problem with anyone that's been cast in a major or minor role in all nine movies.
00:21:36
Speaker
but I'll agree with you there. I think a lot of the problem comes down to like the way they write certain characters, not any a certain performance. ah Agreed. I think writing and direction were really what plagued the actors.
00:21:49
Speaker
What was your other hot take? The one you were teasing about before we started recording. Oh, it's that, uh, it was actually like my second honorable mention. It wasn't even in my top two, but that one was about that episode seven. The force awakens is a great movie and was almost my number three.
00:22:10
Speaker
Whoa. Wow. Because, and I'm sure a lot of people can relate to this. When the trailer dropped initially, it it was electric. That trailer was electric. It was, It's a top three trailer all time.
00:22:23
Speaker
agree. I don't know what that editor was on when he put that together, or she, but that trailer was like a drug. And um I think the movie introduced... a lot of really interesting storylines that obviously they did not successfully capitalize on like Finn's turn from the empire to becoming a potential force user.
00:22:46
Speaker
That's like the biggest, I guess, what's the word? and i don't know. welcome I like the way that you you will look at it because like I see something like The Force Awakens and I agree that there were so many starting points for for interesting stories.
00:23:05
Speaker
But then i like I see it from from a whole and i it just makes me upset re-watching it because none of them come to fruition. But I do like the way that that that you watch them, that it's like...
00:23:17
Speaker
I feel like you can um separate them. Yeah, i was I was trying to view it as like like that like the movie just came out and um'm yeah and I'm seeing it for the first time and I'm like, oh my God, Poe is such a badass.
00:23:29
Speaker
Finn is so cool. like What an interesting character. And then Rey is like, coming out of nowhere is an amazing force user. um and And that trio could have been something really amazing on top of ah Kylo being like a deuteragonist type of character. But There's our $3 word of the episode right there. and don't even know if that's the right one, but yeah, I don't know.
00:23:56
Speaker
I really enjoyed force awakens. I still do. I've only seen it a couple of times. Maybe not as many as you have Alex, but um it's definitely my favorite, my clear favorite of the second sequel trilogy.
00:24:08
Speaker
um I'll agree with you on that one. It is my, it's the most rewatchable of the three. Nine is just awful. Nine makes me want to not have eyes or ears. I like The Last Jedi.
00:24:22
Speaker
You like The Last Jedi? like The Last Jedi. Nine was so bad that it actually made me retroactively go back and respect The Last Jedi. I didn't like it. I didn't like it, but I respected it for trying.
00:24:36
Speaker
It tried. It did try. tried. that That is the most leeway I will give it, is that it tried. I will say I had this for the end, but since we're talking about the rise of Skywalker, I did write down for my favorite quote in all of Star Wars.
00:24:51
Speaker
Somehow Palpatine return.
00:24:55
Speaker
Okay, here's here's a hot take of mine. Okay. I don't think that line is that bad. Why is that? i So here's why. that It is emblematic.
00:25:07
Speaker
of Disney just hamming up the writing and people point to that one specifically a lot. And for what it represents, I agree with the sentiment that it is like, I think it's a really good poster child because Disney's explanation for us was quite literally somehow Palpatine had returned. And then there was the, the Fortnite extra bit.
00:25:32
Speaker
However, In the actual context of the movie where it said Poe would have no idea how Palpatine came back. Like that is something that it's like if you're really confused about something, you would probably say somehow this happened.
00:25:49
Speaker
It's like a little too like Reddit-y, like Instagram-y, like somehow this happened. But he would have no idea how Palpatine came back because one, we the we the Watchers have like this vague idea about how it happened.
00:26:03
Speaker
But two, he hadn't been on Exegol yet, so he wouldn't have seen like the cloning tanks. And the only intel that he had was that he was back. So if you were in the US Army and Saddam Hussein all of a sudden made an announcement, i would you say?
00:26:17
Speaker
This is what I would say. What the fuck? Who? I think that's cooler. meat It would have been better. It would have been better, but i it's I see both sides of the coin, but in the context of the movie, i don't think it's actually that bad of a line.
00:26:32
Speaker
It's just very like emblematic of it as a whole. I think that's why it gets memed a lot. like I don't think it's good, but I don't think it's... the worst line of the movie. Okay. I don't even think it's top 10.
00:26:45
Speaker
What about this one? They fly. That was really bad because they had been flying for quite a long time. That was horrible. They had been flying since the prequels.
00:26:59
Speaker
I had one last, uh, hot take before we move on. And I think count Dooku, I'm not as well versed, um, with the whole universe. Uh, like ah I haven't seen clone wars.
00:27:09
Speaker
Um, I know that there are a lot of characters in there, um even some that kind of come back from the dead. But at least from a movie standpoint, I think Count Dooku is like a top three duelist. Dooku's awesome.
00:27:21
Speaker
Dooku is sick. He fights off Yoda. He dismembers Anakin. He only really loses a 2v1 and is kind of betrayed at the same time. So it's kind of a three b one So I think he's one the best fighters. I like that hot take.
00:27:39
Speaker
The only time he loses is when Anakin is like fully trained and matured. And Anakin's like, you know, the most powerful force user ever. Right. ah So like. Yeah, I agree with you. Dooku was awesome. And I wish.
00:27:53
Speaker
I wish the movies used him more. we We got Dooku in Clone Wars and that was nice, but I wish the movies used him more because I think Christopher Lee was in his bag with that one, with that performance. Like Dooku was awesome.
00:28:06
Speaker
I, there's a big part of me that wants to get like super into like all of the star Wars lore. Like it's always been pretty like a, like a high level, like understanding of it, but i I know that there's, there's so much and I haven't seen all of clone wars. So it's like, if I could just take a couple months to just binge everything, i think that would be, i think that might be time well spent, might get a little bit harder coming in, coming into these shows.
00:28:35
Speaker
I think you'd have to kind of parse out like some of the bad. like I wouldn't waste your time on some of like the Book of Boba Fett. Yeah. I couldn't even finish it.
00:28:47
Speaker
It's so bad. You never even started it. It turns into The Mandalorian halfway through. It's actually so funny. And the character assassination of Boba Fett is crazy.
00:28:58
Speaker
Yeah, just watch Andor. Yeah. yeah Andor, I would say if you're going to go for a show, I would do Andor and I would do Clone Wars. And depending on how much you like Clone Wars, do rebel Rebels. i I might start Andor tonight.
00:29:16
Speaker
It might be the night. It might be the night. I mean, Andor, if you liked Rogue One, you'd like Andor. And you don't have to know 10,000 glup shittos to watch Andor. Because it's it's very much surrounding of like the original trilogy.
00:29:33
Speaker
And I think the only recurring there's only like ah handful of recurring characters that are glup shittos. But they're all in the original three. Sick. Any last hot takes before we move on to our trivia round?
00:29:45
Speaker
Yeah, I got one last one. The Empire Strikes Back is the only movie that actually got better because of the 1997 special edition changes.
00:29:58
Speaker
I know nothing about it. Yeah, what'd they change? So if you remember from episode four and six... Um, we saw like CGI animals added in, there were deleted scenes added in. We had, um like that Jabba scene in episode four that was really out of place, like a bunch of CGI stuff in episode four that was out of place. And then in, uh, six, obviously the biggest one is the, the updated Jabba's, uh, Jabba's palace song performance, um, which we did not get on a soundboard, unfortunately.
00:30:36
Speaker
But episode five, Empire Strikes Back, a lot of it was cosmetic and a lot of it was really tastefully done. So the only scenes they added were um they in the the opening scene where Luke gets attacked by the Wampa on Hoth, which is the Yeti for anyone who's not a terminal loser like I am, they actually show the Yeti and they didn't in the original one.
00:31:04
Speaker
They, um, they have a couple of split second shots of like the mouth and the, the pause, but they added a scene where it's like the full body of the creature. So you can really see what it looks like.
00:31:16
Speaker
So that was added in. Um, there was actually a scene where Emperor Palpatine gets introduced a hologram. In the original cut of the movie, Ian McDormand is not the Emperor, and the Emperor looks really, really weird.
00:31:31
Speaker
Google original Emperor right now. did i Tell me if I'm correct in this. I think I saw something earlier saying that they that the original Emperor was a mashup between, I'm forgetting who, but it was someone and a gorilla.
00:31:47
Speaker
And like a monkey. And it was like ah like they mashed them up together. It looks kind of like that. It's really weird. Okay, I'll have to confirm that. it's It's a really weird face, but in the the special edition, they changed it out for Ian McDiarmid as Palpatine. You know, Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker.
00:32:08
Speaker
Like fleshy goggles. Fleshy goggles. Yeah, that's what I'm seeing. Yeah, that looks weird. and don't think I've ever that. It's really weird. And then the final... The final one that they added that was really a standout to me was on Cloud City.
00:32:22
Speaker
They CGI'd a lot of Cloud City to give it a little bit more life. Specifically in the hallway scenes, when they're inside the buildings on Cloud City, they gave the the white walls all windows, which And they showed out onto like Bespin.
00:32:38
Speaker
And so it actually make the world it made the world look a lot more lived in and made it look like not like a sterile film set. That's cool. And it was the only one that never really went overboard with them.
00:32:51
Speaker
And so I think it's better because of it. Nice. Good stuff. All right. Did you go through all your hot takes, Malik? Yeah, yeah, they they were they were intertwined between between the conversation. It was just talking about the oversaturation and then that Skywalkers just aren't interesting.
00:33:07
Speaker
Yeah. So for trivia, we've got 12 questions here. I am your quiz master. And here's how we're going to do it. I will read off the question. We are not going to yell the answers.

00:40:08
Speaker

00:40:20
Speaker
What species is Yoda? Alex. They never actually say it, but there was this like coin that this toy company released in like the 80s or something that had a species name printed on it. And it was the.

Speaker
know Alex. Wasn't it like the legend of Starkiller or something?
00:41:27
Speaker
ah You got one of the names. Starkiller? Yeah. yeah The original name of the first Star Wars movie when it went into production was Adventures of Luke Starkiller as taken from the Journal of the Wills, Saga 1, The Star Wars.
00:41:45
Speaker
Starkiller's badass. It is. yeah during During production, Lucas changed Luke's name to Skywalker and shortened the title to the Star Wars and finally just Star Wars.
00:41:58
Speaker
we um We did see Starkiller get used though in... ah Remember the game that was at the Force Unleashed? oh yeah That guy's name was Starkiller in that. yeah That's where it came from.
00:42:10
Speaker
Nice little Easter egg. Great job, guys. Final score was 8 Tachi 1. eight alex touchy one
00:42:22
Speaker
you're all You're both winners in my eyes. Thanks. Any woman who is prospective and dating me is going to find this podcast, see that score, and run for the hills.
00:42:33
Speaker
She's going to run into your arms because that it's the woman of your dreams. Exactly. My forearms, because I'm like General Grievous, and I have four of them.
00:42:43
Speaker
And now she's running, guys. Yeah, now she's running. on Yeah. All right. Tachi, do you want to kick us off with some personal top threes? We can start it off with our top three Star Wars films.
00:42:56
Speaker
Sure. Are these in order, like one, two, and three, like ranked, or just top three in general? Just top three in general.
00:43:04
Speaker
Wow, that was cool. That was cool. Top three movies, I'll go Rogue One, Revenge of the Sith, Empire Strikes Back. And Force Awakens was really close, but I feel like I would be crucified if I put that over an original movie.
00:43:21
Speaker
Maybe that was the best to do that in the hot take. Yeah. That makes more sense. Yeah. Well, I'm happy to say that our top three are the exact same. Oh. yeah cool The Empire Strikes Back. youre gonna Rogue One, Revenge of the Sith.
00:43:36
Speaker
Mine isn't that different. What is it? What's yours? ah Empire, ah Return of the Jedi, and then I had a tie for third between Revenge and Rogue One. Nice. um Here's a hot take.
00:43:52
Speaker
A New Hope. When I'm ever doing a rewatch, it's the one I'm least excited to see.
00:43:59
Speaker
agree with Of the six. I was a little bored. gonna lie. To me, i think A New Hope is like a really good movie. I think I have it as a 9 out of 10 right now.
00:44:11
Speaker
But the whole time I'm watching it, I'm just like, I cannot wait to get to Empire. like Like Revenge of the Sith? That movie rocks. You know, like Attack of the Clones has some redeeming qualities.
00:44:25
Speaker
But A New Hope feels so like vanilla in the Star Wars universe that... It's always just like, oh, it's there. Yeah. You know?
00:44:36
Speaker
I think that's why I like Force Awakens so much. It's like a new hope, but kind of better in every way. Jazzed up a little bit. Yeah, exactly. I can respect that. I see that.
00:44:47
Speaker
Because they're they're basically the same movie. And that's okay. What's next? Top three, not Jedi, Force users. We'll start with you, Alex. All right.
00:44:58
Speaker
I got Obi-Wan. But specifically the Ewan McGregor Obi-Wan. Yes. Don't give me that Alec Guinness nonsense. Oh, yeah. Just Ewan.
00:45:08
Speaker
Yeah. Agreed. um Ewan's awesome. Ewan in Attack of the Clones. Ewan's awesome in all three of them. I know. but so Something about Ewan in 2?
00:45:21
Speaker
Yeah, that's 2. He was special. He was special in that one. ah Give me Darth Vader. It's so cliche, but he's just one of my favorite villains ever. mean, he just you want to talk about generational aura.
00:45:34
Speaker
Everybody knows who Darth Vader is. He's probably the most recognizable villain ever. You recognize him because of how he breathes. Yeah, that's how much aura he has.
00:45:45
Speaker
Great. I mean, from the moment he steps on screen in A New Hope. It's just like this guy is just awesome You know, the James Earl Jones voice is so iconic and I was gutted when he passed.
00:46:02
Speaker
It just worked so perfectly. Because Vader, his sound is just so menacing. And then my last top three force user is ah Darth Maul.
00:46:16
Speaker
And that is shaped a lot by what happens in Clone Wars. Spoilers. But Darth Maul, who is criminally underused in the first movie,
00:46:28
Speaker
Yep. Gets Gets his due. Duel of the Fates is one of the greatest pieces of music ever written.
00:46:42
Speaker
Yeah. Agreed. Oh. Goes way too hard. And when it's one of the best fight scenes in Star Wars is the Duel of Fates scene. you You can give me all the crap about the Phantom Menace, but that scene...
00:46:57
Speaker
Is insane. Is topped here. Truly, I do feel in the latest iterations of Star Wars, especially with the latest trilogy we got, there's a lack of sauce in these lights. There was no sauce.
00:47:12
Speaker
It's tasteless. The Force Awakens almost had sauce. Like Poe. Almost. And... Well, I won't get there yet. I think...
00:47:23
Speaker
I think The Last Jedi had more sauce than The Force Awakens. This is coming from someone who was a hater of that movie. The throne room scene, I think, was almost there. And then the scene where they do the hyperspace ramming.
00:47:36
Speaker
do I forgot about that i've got that. I've got that when we get to our favorite scenes. saucy. almost saucy i that is That is a moment in the theaters I'll never forget. yeah because like As soon as it happened, you could quite literally feel the air be sucked out of the room. And goosebumps.
00:47:56
Speaker
I was literally
00:48:00
Speaker
insane. can't believe if i forgot about that. That was yeah monumental. Peak Star Wars. My top three Force users. Similar to your list, Alex.
00:48:12
Speaker
I got Obi-Wan. feel like we're all going to have Obi-Wan. Mm-hmm. Darth Maul. Oh. Darth Maul and his little piercing. And I did a fun one for the third one. i put Mace Windu.
00:48:25
Speaker
Oh, Mace Windu's awesome. Mace Windu's sick. Yes. What a great what a great character. And Samuel L. Jackson getting a purple lightsaber because he wanted one, even if it doesn't, quote unquote, make sense.
00:48:39
Speaker
So sick in the Star Wars universe. Give that man what he needs. Do you want to hear a crazy factoid about Mace Windu that I found researching today before this episode? Yes, please. Guess who auditioned to play for Mace Windu before his death?
00:48:55
Speaker
Ooh. Question. Is this person black? Yes.
00:49:04
Speaker
Before it's... When did he die? Yeah, when did he die? Oh, God. That means it was a while ago. The 90s? Oh.
00:49:15
Speaker
I almost said Will Smith.
00:49:18
Speaker
and I don't even know. Yeah, I don't know. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. wait wait wait Tupac. How did you guess that? Am right? It was Tupac. It's Tupac. Wow. That's crazy.
00:49:31
Speaker
Tupac audit audition reportedly auditioned for the role for Mace Windu. That's insane. That is insane. Yeah. I was reading a Rolling Stone article about it earlier today. The thought process was. i always was begging for someone to bring up Mace Windu so i could bring that. crazy.
00:49:46
Speaker
The thought process was Will Smith and then that connected to Tupac.
00:49:53
Speaker
I'm stoked. Speaking of that sound real quick, that really short soundbite is used in a really popular PC game called StarCraft.
00:50:08
Speaker
ah is it really? They're allowed to use it? I guess so. It's like identical.
00:50:15
Speaker
It sounds like a man yelling for help. Not for help, but just like excited. Sounds like a monster to me.
00:50:25
Speaker
Tachi, did we get your you're three Force users? No. I thought it was Jedi, but it still kind of works out because of the side characters, but my top three Force users were Obi-Wan, of course.
00:50:39
Speaker
Nice. He's the GOAT. Mace Windu and Yoda. I like it. like that a lot. Give us your best Yoda impression.
00:50:50
Speaker
Oh! Oh!
00:50:57
Speaker
ah
00:50:59
Speaker
um but Something just came over me. don't know what that was. That was not the spirit of Yoda.
00:51:13
Speaker
I can't come back from that. Someone please take my mic away.
00:51:20
Speaker
god. That was like Yoda getting poisoned or something.
00:51:29
Speaker
Oh, I'm sweating. Oh, man. Thank you for that. You're welcome.
00:51:38
Speaker
All right. Top three side characters. We got many. So can we call this our top three glup shittos? It could be top three glup shittos. three glup shittos.
00:51:50
Speaker
I have a great glup shittos for this. Start us off with it. going call Big Head. anyone know who Big Head is Dude, if if who you're talking about is who I have... His name Ki-Adi Mundi.
00:52:05
Speaker
his name is ki ari mundde Oh, wait, what does he look like? That's not who I have. He's got a big head. Is it the long head? Yeah. Yeah. Like the the real long neck guy.
00:52:17
Speaker
Yeah. he He is the guy who's concerned about the droid attack on the Wookiees. Is he in the Jedi Council? Yes. Yeah. That dude's scary. He's like a white dude, the beard and the pig ponytail, I think. Could you imagine just walking home at night and then like looking behind your shoulder and you just see kind of like peeking behind a corner?
00:52:37
Speaker
So do you want to hear something crazy about his character that I don't know if it's still canon post Disney? Tachi, you had no chance at this trivia.
00:52:48
Speaker
Did not. and So many fun facts. the fact Alex, the fact that you pulled out a phrase from a coin that was made in the 80s for Yoda's origins.
00:53:00
Speaker
I was like, and unfair grounds. Yeah, I seen chance. yeah So get ready for this coyot coyote mundi fact. So, um you know Jedi aren't supposed to form attachments. They're kind of like, you know, priests, I guess, similar rules.
00:53:16
Speaker
I'd say in however, however, coyote mundi species has like a really low birth rate in males or something. There's like one, one male for every 30 females or something like that.
00:53:35
Speaker
So canonically, at least through the Disney acquisition, or at least up to the Disney acquisition, ah Coyote Mundi was the only Jedi allowed to have ah wife for the purpose of keeping a steady population flow on his planet.
00:53:53
Speaker
And he took advantage of that because he had something like eight wives. Good choice, Tachi. He was moving crazy. Way to go, Big Head. I know. We'll go we'll go we'll go around the we go around the horn with our side characters.
00:54:08
Speaker
Our glups. Our glup shittos. Go ahead, Alex. Alright, well i'm going to start off. This is what I dressed up as for Halloween in the fourth grade. um This is not a character per se, but it's it's a collection of side characters.
00:54:22
Speaker
Give me all of the Tusken Raiders. I like it. All of them. All of them. Dude, every time they're on screen I lose my mind. Arrgh! When they were in um but season two of The Mandalorian and there's like a bunch of episodes dedicated to them and Boba Fett, it was incredible.
00:54:43
Speaker
Like, i I was so happy. And then Book of Boba Fett got so bad. But right when it was Boba, when it was like Lawrence of Tatooine, I mean, in the first three episodes, it was it was actually pretty entertaining because of the Tusken Raiders. I mean, I just...
00:55:00
Speaker
Like I said, I was dressed up as I'm in fourth grade for Halloween. I had wrapped my head in gauze. I know you have a picture. My dad had made me this like ah mask out of like a like a ventilator mask. So someone during covid wasn't able to get one of those masks because 10, 15 years earlier, I was a Tusken Raider with it. um Dude.
00:55:24
Speaker
That was one of the most uncomfortable Halloween costumes I've ever worn. can only imagine. Do you know how sweaty I got? ah Yeah. It was... Halloween in Rhode Island is like usually like 40 degrees.
00:55:38
Speaker
It gets cold, chilly. I was like dripping in sweat because I was completely wrapped up. But it was worth it because I was with my people. If you have a picture, i think that'd be a great thing to share.
00:55:52
Speaker
yeah i can um yeah Let me text the fam chat right now. all right oh well you While you do that, I'll give my first favorite glove shito. Salacious B. Crumb.
00:56:06
Speaker
Isn't that the guy who and in Jabba's Palace? Yep. That's his little that little monkey jester thing. I'll take a series about him and his people.
00:56:21
Speaker
That'd be sick. There was a book they released. It was called Tales of Jabba's Palace. and was like It was like six or seven hundred pages. And it was just like short stories of everybody in Jabba's Palace.
00:56:36
Speaker
And Salacious B. Crumb might have had one in there. You might have to go write this from the library, Malik. I might have to. I'm also going to send a picture of my next Glove Shido. So that way we all know who I'm talking about.
00:56:49
Speaker
Okay. Tachi, who is your next Glove Shido? ah They're not minor characters. um They're two of the, in my opinion, best designed villains.
00:57:02
Speaker
ah Darth Maul and General Grievous. I'll just knock them both out of the way right now. um They're amazing. They look great. They act great. Their fighting styles are amazing. Great Grievous is such a cool character. Yeah. He's awesome. He was on my list, actually.
00:57:18
Speaker
But I'm really glad that you said it because... I can jettison Grievous and Boba Fett, and I'm going to try and dig up some club shit. Please do. I do have one on hand, though.
00:57:31
Speaker
The ah the elephant guy. From episode four, who's like the spy when they're walking around Mos Eisley. um He's he's like.
00:57:43

00:58:22
Speaker
Yeah, like the eyes. He looks like... don't remember him. Tachi, didn't you just watch a new literally just watched it, yeah. He's a deep-glub-shadow pull.
00:58:33
Speaker
I was about to say, that that's a deep-glub-shadow. Yeah, well done. Do you have that picture, Moik? For my character? Mm-hmm. Yeah, so my next one is from The Phantom Menace, and his name is Ben Quadinaros.
00:58:49
Speaker
And I sent a picture in the chat. And if you don't remember, this ugly little guy was the one in the pod race whose pod won't start at the beginning of the race. He's upset, hitting it, and then he just explodes and dies. Mm-hmm.
00:59:03
Speaker
Damn. I remember racing as him on the Nintendo 64 Star Wars Podracer game. Oh, classic. It's a classic. Yeah. I love that one. Oh, tachi Tachi said all of his already. So back to you, Alex. yeah Tachi, do you have another one that you can pull I can stall for time when I'm thinking for another one?
00:59:22
Speaker
Oh, I got one. Yeah, go ahead. Yeah. I don't have one. The Jason Sudeikis Stormtrooper that punches Baby Yoda in the Mandalorian season. In the Mandalorian season one. That's a good one.
00:59:33
Speaker
Oh, like I got a good one. You want to buy some death sticks from episode two?
00:59:43
Speaker
You don't want to sell me death sticks. don't want to sell you death sticks. Do you want to know what his name was canonically? What's his name? Elon Sleazebaggino.
00:59:55
Speaker
No, it is not. i
01:00:00
Speaker
Elon Sleazebagano I'm gonna paste it in the chat so you can google it oh my god did George Lucas just get lazy with the names he looks so dumb he kinda looks like a methed out Andrew Garfield that's nuts yeah
01:00:21
Speaker
Let's wrap it up with our top three scenes. We can go rapid fire. I feel, again, we're probably going to be aligned with some of these. I'll start us off. Go ahead. I've got the Mustafar fight.
01:00:32
Speaker
Oh, that's one of mine. That was my number one. You have to. So good. it's Is that the best fight in all of Star Wars? It's got to be. It must be. think it is. I get impatient watching it because there's a couple other stories kind of being interwoven while the fight is happening with ah Yoda at the big council and everything. So every time it cuts away from the fight to that little side story, I'm just like, fucking go back.
01:00:58
Speaker
Right. I just need an uncut like 15 minute stretch of the Mustafar fight. And like you hit on earlier, Tachi, we got the sick but unnecessary move between Anakin and Obi-Wan. Is that the one you're talking about? Yeah, exactly.
01:01:12
Speaker
They really just need to bite the bullet and release the Revenge of the Sith four hour cut. That exists? Allegedly. They cut like a lot from the original. oh so I think there is some on the cutting room floor that was left.
01:01:26
Speaker
and I know i have seen a couple um like deleted scenes floating around from both revenge of the Sith and of attack of the clones that would work really well.
01:01:37
Speaker
Nice. But yeah, allegedly there is like a four hour cut for revenge of the Sith somewhere. That'd be amazing. My second one. This is a favorite. I've got the Coliseum fight in attack of the clones.
01:01:50
Speaker
That's on there for me too. You got that one. ah Yeah, it's it's so good. It's yeahs such a fun time. to To go from the kiss to like the animals to then the clones showing up for the first time. There's so much going on.
01:02:05
Speaker
yeah It's awesome. It's so cool. And then my last one, which I know at least Tachi's got it. The Darth Vader hallway scene in Rogue One.
01:02:15
Speaker
ye Yep. That was my second. yeah Alex, did we get all the way to the same? Malik, that was my three. You literally stole my three scenes. Okay.
01:02:29
Speaker
That's sick. What was your other one Tachi? Other one was the, this one was kind of like a last second edition. It was Finn with the lightsaber in the snow. ah Yeah. In the snow.
01:02:40
Speaker
Nice. At the end of a force awakens. Yeah. That was so high. God, Finn had so much potential, but definitely honorable mention. We already covered it, but the, um, ship, the ship.
01:02:52
Speaker
Yeah. The light speed. Yeah. That was all right. I'm going to, I'm going to do a couple off the top of my head. Okay. Um, The sonic boom scene in Attack of the Clones. And the space asteroids? Yeah. What is that sound?
01:03:07
Speaker
It's like... Well, it's like silence and then like... one And it's it's so cool. I mean... phone warning Let me try and not go cliche for these popcorn ones because i'm trying to rebuild my three.
01:03:23
Speaker
um Let me do Revenge of the Sith opening sequence. Where it goes from the title crawl to the... And then the just the drop-in with the the ships.
01:03:35
Speaker
yeah and i mean You got Anakin at some of his best in the movies. um He's being all sassy and... Cool. ah had that na had that Lego set of Anakin and Obi-Wan in those ships.
01:03:47
Speaker
That's cool. That is really cool. And then let's go for the last one. Let's do um let's do let's do the Darth Vader...
01:03:59
Speaker
Luke fight on Bespin on Cloud City. When they're in that big tube and he chops off his hand. i am will father i mean, it's it's classic.
01:04:10
Speaker
yeah Or Hoth. The Hoth battle is awesome. The Hoth battle is sick. God, do I need to re-watch Star Wars? I miss the prequel dogfights. Yeah. that was That was one of the shining, um I guess, components of those movies.
01:04:25
Speaker
Honestly, The whole end of Attack of the Clones from the where Anakin and Padme kiss going into the Coliseum to the end is such an incredible just battle sequence.
01:04:38
Speaker
I mean, it was awesome. And that movie gets hated on too much. I don't care about the sand line. I'm at the point where I'm in like a post-ironic state about the sand line where it's like it brings me so much joy that I can't hate it.
01:04:53
Speaker
like Every time I watch it, I'm just like, I hate sand. It's rough and coarse and gets everywhere. And it's like, but not here. And he touches her. I mean, it's just like, it's Riz. That scene gets applause from me in my living room.
01:05:10
Speaker
Applause or a pause? Applause. applause Oh, I heard a pause. was like, oh. No, me in my living room.
01:05:19
Speaker
Like, sure, it's it's, yeah, Attack of the Clones is a bad movie, but... No, I... it's I'd argue that it's not. I would argue that it's not. It's... In fact, I would argue that it's a good movie. You pivoted so much so fast.
01:05:43
Speaker
I enjoy watching it so much. It could be my most watched Star Wars film. Oh, interesting. For some reason, that was the one my sister and I would bring on like...
01:05:55
Speaker
With us on when we're going like a road trip. ah My dad's land cruiser had like a really crappy like built in TV. And we would just rip Attack of the Clones like every single time.
01:06:06
Speaker
I think it could be my most watched Star Wars. Good choice. I have a story when I was a boy. I have built my first Lego Millennium Falcon. And if anyone's built the Lego Millennium Falcon, you know the struggle, the hardship, the frustration, the lack of patience that comes with building such an intricate ship.
01:06:32
Speaker
Took me forever. But I think that ship taught me patience as a man.
01:06:40
Speaker
he was building the foundations. But one day my family and I went on a trip to Phoenix to visit some other family members. And I had just completed this however many thousand pieces the Millennium Falcon was.
01:06:52
Speaker
And I put it on top of my bunk bed. I needed it safe. I didn't have room and anywhere else. My grandma stayed at the house while we went to Phoenix and she had some of our other younger cousins come over while we were away.
01:07:07
Speaker
Somehow Palpatine returned, but he went into my room. One of my little cousins went on top of the bunk bed and dropped the Millennium Falcon. That's crazy. And shattered into the thousands of pieces that I so slowly put together.
01:07:22
Speaker
And I cried when I got home. My grandma was so nervous to tell me the accident that I was about to walk into into the room. Did your cousin die that day? Because that that would be a reasonable crash out.
01:07:35
Speaker
i I think that was my first crash out as a child.
01:07:39
Speaker
We got it on film. What a crazy story. What does that have to do with Attack of the Clones? It has to do with Star Wars. Okay.
01:07:49
Speaker
I was hoping for a better reaction than that. I just try and make jokes and they don't land on this podcast. I was just trying to remember if he actually did reference the Attack of the Clones. I was like, oh, did he say that?
01:08:01
Speaker
Well, because, I mean, we were talking about Attack of the Clones and then um ah he started going on it and I'm like, oh, like, here's ah here's a layup for a joke here. And then um this is part two. of I'm trying to redeem myself from my Conclave joke.
01:08:15
Speaker
And I can't. Jokes are so much better when we just beat it into the ground. I agree. keep it over explaining them.
01:08:26
Speaker
It'll help resuscitate it and bring it to life. No, Malik.
01:08:32
Speaker
Your story is is actually traumatizing. um As someone who's dropped his own Lego sets, Lego Star Wars sets, and they've shattered across the room and the cat immediately starts going for him.
01:08:43
Speaker
If someone else did it,
01:08:47
Speaker
That's a likeking said it it is it's a valid crash out. I mean, it's like you might have my own Vader hallway scene. if I turned all the lights off in the house. You to see the red glow.
01:09:00
Speaker
No one's coming out alive. Let's just say these younglings won't know what's coming. yeah I saw I first saw the youngling scene and I was just like, I get it I get it.
01:09:13
Speaker
I have a kind of strange Star Wars trauma story from my childhood as well. It's really strange though. So my older brother's friend, Josh, he would do this thing where he'd be over at the house. We're just hanging out, like playing a game or watching a show or something.
01:09:32
Speaker
And um if I ever just like got annoying or something, he would grab a lightsaber and stab me in my armpits with the lightsaber.
01:09:43
Speaker
And from that moment on, after the first time, he was like, Tachi, do you want to lightsabered? And then I would just have to leave the room and stop. That's auto so sad
01:09:54
Speaker
It was mostly funny. he was he was actually a really nice guy. Except for stabbing me in the armpit with a lightsaber. I actually have a Star Wars trauma story, too.
01:10:08
Speaker
Perfect. Please share. So i don't know how i thought this happened or I don't know what brought this on. But when I was a really little kid, I had a fear of throwing up.
01:10:22
Speaker
reasonable. And it took me years, i mean years, to watch Return of the Jedi because I was convinced that Jabba the Hutt ate Han Solo and then threw him up. i would I don't know if I saw, like what I saw that made me think that.
01:10:49
Speaker
But I was terrified watching that movie for the first time because the whole time Jabba's on screen, he's just sitting there like slobbering. There's all that goop coming out of his mouth.
01:11:01
Speaker
I'm just like, he's going to throw up.
01:11:05
Speaker
He's about to eat Han. And it never came. Maybe in your head you merged Han coming out of the thing he was in and he is kind of all goopy and wet.
01:11:16
Speaker
Yeah. Maybe you like merge that in your head. Maybe. Maybe like something with like the Sarlacc pit or something where they try and throw Han.
01:11:26
Speaker
But he doesn't get eaten. and Doesn't throw him up. I don't know. Maybe it's one of those glitches in the Matrix where it's like I was on another timeline where Jabba did eat Han.
01:11:39
Speaker
And then jumped to a different timeline. or It's a Mandela mandela effect. Yeah. Put out a post and see if anyone else remembers it.
01:11:49
Speaker
We'll find the answers. Wake up, babe. New Mandela effect. Just drop it. Awesome. Well, I think that wraps up our Star Wars celebration.
01:12:01
Speaker
My feelings coming out of this, I want to rewatch them. Yeah, me too. That sounds and sounds like like a splendid time. Do you guys have any last thoughts you'd like to say before we sign off for the night?
01:12:12
Speaker
One day I will get a joke to land on this podcast. I believe in you. i very much believe in you. We're going be trying time. oh yeah yeah are we Are we going to use those sounds moving forward?
01:12:24
Speaker
You guys pick the ones you love the most, and we'll keep them. Okay. I think petition to keep... I feel like we could rotate them. like Yeah. Petition to keep this one, though.
01:12:36
Speaker
I like that one. That's a favorite. If we could like rotate the sounds um to where it was like applicable to each theme. We can definitely do that. Like
01:12:55
Speaker
