Introduction to the Galactic Podcast
00:00:10
Speaker
All well, hello, everyone, and welcome to the Galactic Podcast. I am Lauren Romo. With me, as always, is my cousin and fellow nerd, Andrea Gutierrez. Hello, hello, hello. Right, sons.
00:00:22
Speaker
What's going on, cuz? Wow. Sunday, baby. Sunday football day. Sunday football day. This is what we do in the fall around here.
00:00:33
Speaker
We're not going to about football this time, kids. We got into a whole thing last time. Yep. Because there is some big, big news talk about, I think, in Star Wars. So, Angie, you're ready, let's just get into it, man. i mean Let's get into it. I'm ready. i haven't talked Star Wars in a minute.
00:00:50
Speaker
I know. It's been a while for us, so we're going to get back into the groove here. So, we're going to dust off the the rust a little bit, hopefully, and we're going to get this going. But... Before we get to all that good stuff, if this is your first time listening to us, welcome.
00:01:04
Speaker
We are Star Wars Podcasts that discuss 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, comics, a specific character, you name it.
Star Wars Returns to Theaters
00:01:19
Speaker
And we talk about it. And... yo Star Wars theaters. We're coming back, baby. got a trailer. it's been It's been a while, right?
00:01:31
Speaker
Yeah. seriously i was just doing the I was just trying to do the math in the head. Six years since Rise a Skywalker. Wow. Was that the last one, right? Still scarred by it, let's be honest. The wound has not healed.
00:01:44
Speaker
Go listen to our recap of that one. It's actually one of our really good episodes, honestly. I think that's one of our better ones. yeah i'll be I think we did a really good job of just talking about how we felt about it, but Ever since then, i mean, let's be honest, it's all been Disney Plus shows, right?
Is the New Movie Just a Long TV Episode?
00:02:03
Speaker
Good stuff. A little bit because of COVID, right? so Yeah. I feel like, and we and this is going to be a bigger conversation, but I want to get to. But there I think there's reasons, like you just said. think There's reasons for why it went down that path, but.
00:02:19
Speaker
This week, what did we get? We got the trailer. Teaser, really. theater later Teaser for Mandu and Grogu, the movie. Basically season four.
00:02:31
Speaker
Let's just be honest. Again, we'll get there. But I want to talk about the trailer first. Ange. Ooh, we dropped it on a Monday. They really no warning from what I could tell. ago Although, to be honest, I'm not as plugged in. i don't know about you.
00:02:47
Speaker
Not as plugged in as I used to be. So like maybe there was rumors, but I don't think there was. So they kind of dropped it out of nowhere. little bit of a distraction.
00:02:58
Speaker
One could say.
00:03:01
Speaker
Theories come back to Disney plus. One could say. But we got the Bandu and Grogu trailer. So, Ange, I want to hear all about it from you. What did you think about it? How did it make you feel seeing a Star Wars trailer? Because we haven't seen one since what? um Like a big major one.
00:03:24
Speaker
what, Ahsoka? Like, the Ahsoka stuff? Or what? I'm trying to think what came after Ahsoka, the... Skeleton crew? Skeleton crew stuff? mean, that's probably, like, the last big, like, you know, hey, Star Andor.
00:03:36
Speaker
Andor, okay, yeah, Andor. Probably Andor trailer and all that. That's a good call. and it But it's been a while. I mean, is's we've haven't... Andor came out, what, a few months ago? Mm-hmm. And they did... I mean, again, we got trailers and stuff for long time ago, but, like...
00:03:53
Speaker
This is, but that was, again, that's all Disney Plus, right? This is theater stuff. So, Ange, how'd you feel? What did you think about the trailer? Let's talk about it. Give me your thoughts, my friend.
00:04:04
Speaker
Well, it didn't really sink in that this is a movie, to be honest. um It just doesn't yet, honestly, because it still makes me a little bit uncomfortable how I'm going to feel about it in a theater if it just feels like a long TV episode.
The Allure of Grogu
00:04:25
Speaker
So there's that. i'm Let's forewarn everybody. i am very negative today. I'm a big grouch. But I don't think you're wrong, though. Continue. i Because i I don't think you're wrong. Go ahead.
00:04:38
Speaker
um Number one, seeing the baby, seeing my little guy Grogu with a little tiny telescope. Oh, my God. It made my heart skip a beat.
00:04:49
Speaker
And I think I squealed. Like, I love that. I love him so much. To the point where I know I'm going to enjoy this movie just based off of him. You know, like literally my eyes light up when I see him. He's like my own child.
00:05:04
Speaker
You know, my my eyes don't even light up when I see my own children, like how they do for Grogu. Let's be honest. So, yeah, I'm excited. And I like, you know, all the action.
00:05:16
Speaker
i like that it doesn't look too serious, right? There's a lot of, like, it looks like they're on Ord Mantell. And there's a lot of just fighting and cage fighting. You know, there's huts and and all that stuff. And there's creatures.
00:05:29
Speaker
So, and then you get, there are AT-AT walkers. So, that's great as well, too. So, there's going to be an Empire First Order presence or however you want to... Define it.
00:05:40
Speaker
The Razor Crest is back. Let's go. How did that happen? But all right. That was an amazing ship and it belongs in the Star Wars universe. So that's cool as well, too.
Anticipation for Upcoming Trailers
00:05:51
Speaker
But again, I just like I don't have that excitement of like, all right, like, let's figure out what's happening in the Skywalker saga. Right.
00:05:59
Speaker
it It just doesn't give me those feels. Right. I'm not into looking at every frame and speculating. I just am like, cool. Can't wait to see it, especially in IMAX.
00:06:15
Speaker
100%. I am right there with you, honestly. So I watched it, super excited, right? Like, you it's Star Wars, right? So you get those so excitement just for that.
00:06:27
Speaker
Right, like you're saying, seeing Grogu, seeing Mando, seeing Zeb do some cool stuff. Seeing Zeb with like bow, caster, fighter, whatever, purple thingy.
00:06:40
Speaker
Chef's kiss. Chef's kiss. Like, this is what I'm here for. Getting to see actual live Zeb do some cool stuff. I'm here for it. Again, the you know the the explosion of that, um you know, AT-AT and everything, like, cool stuff. Don't you dare call it an AT-AT.
00:07:00
Speaker
AT-AT, whatever. You were born in the 80s. Don't you dare ah call it an AT-AT. AT-AT, AT-AT.
00:07:08
Speaker
eighty eighty At at whatever. You know, I'm not going to, if anybody wants to call it at at whatever. i get this' like That's like video game ah lingo, right? Fair. That's what that is.
00:07:20
Speaker
True. True. You're not wrong on that. But no, yeah, I feel the same way as far as cool. I'm like, yeah, I'm excited to go see Star Wars in theaters.
00:07:33
Speaker
But it's not that level of. For me right now. Right. And that could change. Right. The next trailer could really elevate, like elevate it to give us more story a little bit. Right. Because this was a teaser, as we said. So, I mean, they're not giving us a lot of things to like, oh, like they're just I think it was more of, hey, you guys remember these cool characters?
00:07:58
Speaker
Like we're bringing them to the theater. Like it was kind of like that, which was fine for a teaser. That's fine. So, yeah, I mean, I'm excited in that. aspect of it but yeah does this like it does feel and i and i'm kind of with you like i'm i don't want to worried because worries not the answer or worried's not the word because the show is great right i mean we we both love the show each season really
00:08:30
Speaker
like got better and better as far as, you know, they do use a volume, volume a lot, but each season got better with that. Right. Cause yeah. Oh yeah. absolutely Right.
00:08:40
Speaker
So I have, you know, I, I don't think that's going to be the issue, but I do wonder if it's like, you're saying, is it going to be just a, you know, a long episode or, Hey, you put a whole season into two hours plus and made it a movie.
Trust in Favreau and Crew
00:09:00
Speaker
Like, again, I'm not saying that's a good thing, bad thing, but I don't... That's where I'm at with it as far as, like, I don't know how to feel about it just yet. I feel like... those As far as that goes. Like, I know you talked about that, too. So, I mean... I think Book of Boba Fett could have been a movie.
00:09:16
Speaker
Like, you know, and it was kind of like a connector. So, I feel like this is going to be like a connector. And it's going to feel like five episodes scrunched into a movie. Yeah.
00:09:29
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. You're not wrong. I mean, I feel like that's, it could be, it could, it could feel that way. But do I, again, i think my trust in Favreau and that whole crew of who started this show, that gives me the hope of, know, yeah, they're going to do a good job with it. I have no, no qualms with that.
00:09:50
Speaker
Right. This guy did Iron Man. He knows how to do theatrical movies. Like, in Favreau, we trust. 100%. I'm not worried about that.
00:10:02
Speaker
I'm just worried that it's not... i don't even want to say translate, but like you're saying, like if it's going to feel like, oh, they just put season four all together and put it on the big screen. you know But again, i'm goingnna give them I'm going to give them leeway and be like, I think they can make it feel theatrical.
00:10:24
Speaker
theatrical Right. Because, I mean, if you think about, like, the the trilogy, the um trilogy saga, right? As much qualms as we have it, those felt like theatrical movies, though, right? like Well, that's where they came at from.
00:10:38
Speaker
Right. The sets, the props, like everything. And I feel like They can do that with Mandu and Grogu, but are they maybe sticking with the style that they started with?
00:10:49
Speaker
And that's only because, like you said, because of COVID and everything, they did the volume stuff. So it's just that balance, right? i don't know how you feel about that, but it's the balance, I think, of having it still feel like the show, but in a
Star Wars: TV Show vs Movie Format
00:11:05
Speaker
grander scale. that make sense?
00:11:07
Speaker
Like, make it feel theatrical. Yeah, i it does make sense. And I hope they use a lot of, i hope they use more practical effects for this movie.
00:11:19
Speaker
ah Because that's what always makes Star Wars feel very genuine. So I think maybe the introduction of Sigourney Weaver's character might help give this a silver screen feel. ah so there is that.
00:11:39
Speaker
And, you know, there there are plenty of things that we've watched that we say, like, oh, I would love to see that on a big screen. I would love to see that on a big screen. So, I mean, now that's that's what we're getting. So I think that's great.
00:11:54
Speaker
I want people to stop um slamming season three of The Mandalorian. think it was good. i think it served and answered a lot of things that fans wanted.
00:12:11
Speaker
um i don't really understand people's issue with it. I feel like it needs a revisit from some of those people. i don't even know who those people are, but I know that they're out there.
00:12:27
Speaker
You're not wrong, because I... Again, you you yeah everybody can go back to our Mando season three recaps, man. I loved that season. I loved it. We both did.
00:12:38
Speaker
For a lot of reasons. One for me was because of the Mandalorian stuff. I love getting more lore of that and deeper into that. and love them bringing out the Shadow Collective, right? yeah it's how That's how we connect to Thrawn, right? like There are some big things that happened.
00:12:58
Speaker
Right. And I think people forget that. Like, I really do. So I'm hoping that this will, again, elevate that, all that, and really bring it home.
00:13:11
Speaker
Right? Because, as far as I know, Filoni still has his movie. Right. This is not it. This is a Favreau production.
00:13:24
Speaker
Right. This is him directing and all that. So I feel like, and i I guess hope, that this is like a setup to that.
00:13:36
Speaker
And I think it would be. Right? Because I feel like this with Ahsoka season two that's ah going to come out, as we know, that's all going to, you know, come together like we assumed and kind of have been told, not directly but indirectly, right?
00:13:57
Speaker
that that Filoni movie is going to be the culmination of all of that, right? Mando, Ahsoka, Boba Fett, like all those movies. And apparently Skeleton Crew, right? Because apparently that's in the Mandoverse, as far as we were told, i think.
00:14:13
Speaker
Pretty sure. Seems like a one-off. Yeah, it did. But again, I thought that they supposedly that is all in this time frame or whatever. But regardless, especially though,
00:14:28
Speaker
Mando, Ahsoka, Boba Fett stuff will kind of all come together for Filoni's movie, right? That's kind of what we've been
00:14:39
Speaker
expecting or ah would assume was going to happen, right? So that gets me, again, if that's what's going to occur, that
Future of Star Wars Content
00:14:51
Speaker
gets me excited. I mean, again, it's new Star Wars, let's be honest, right?
00:14:56
Speaker
ah They have my money already. I'm going to go see this. Like, it doesn't matter. Give me the merch. Thank you. Give me the opening night ticket. Give me IMAX. Give me IMAX.
00:15:06
Speaker
i'm I'm there. like I'm seated for at least four or five times. Right? so Easily. Easily. eight and Four or five times, this will be seen by me. 100%. Like, they have my money.
00:15:19
Speaker
So... but with the trailer though, I think what I really loved is just again, getting reacquainted with these characters, right? Just though, I think that's what the trailer really was getting, like getting people to, to remember like, Hey you guys, remember this? Like we were talking about, remember this cute little baby girl group, remember Mando, how cool he was. Remember all the cool stuff? Like it's getting you back into that mind frame. Right.
00:15:52
Speaker
And I feel like, and this is where i want to go next with this, Ange, is again, this this show started on Disney+, plus right? lot of it because of the push of you know that the streaming at the time.
00:16:08
Speaker
And now I feel that I think they're changing that slightly now, whereas... i don't I think a lot of stuff that we will get in the future will be, especially live action, let me say that, especially live action, will be theatrical stuff.
00:16:31
Speaker
So far, the only projects we know of that are live action are theatrical. The only thing is Ahsoka season two, but... Oh, yeah. Ahsoka season two. Sorry. After that, no, but like you said, but that's kind of just like, ah yeah, duh. That's going to be like, we kind of already knew that, right? Like anything, I think, after Ahsoka season two, live action wise, I'm assuming they're...
00:16:55
Speaker
they're going to put it in the theaters and we're not gonna let me just say this i don't think we're gonna get a lot live action shows anymore which is kind of a bummer because i agree they're so detailed and story oriented that will kind of that will be a disappointment if we don't get new shows and I agree.
00:17:20
Speaker
And again, I could be wrong and I hope I'm wrong. But I don't think you are because we have Mando and Grogu. We have Starfighter and then we have Filoni's movie. And all they've been talking about is movie, movie, movie. Right.
00:17:31
Speaker
This person has movie. You have a movie. I have a movie. We all have movies coming out. Simon Keimberg doing his trilogy. Right. So. We'll see. I mean, I. It bums me out a little bit. Right. Like you're saying, like, I love having.
00:17:49
Speaker
those little live action shows. I mean, again, Andor.
00:17:54
Speaker
One of the best shows. Emmy winning. Thank you. Emmy winning. Emmy winning. Emmy TV show. right yeah In the drama category. Let's not forget that.
00:18:06
Speaker
That's a huge category. That's not, like, that's, that's like the creme de creme, like, category, I think, if you think of, in Emmys, though, right? agree, yeah. The drama category is huge. Like, that's,
00:18:18
Speaker
That's a huge category to win. So they can do it. Like obviously, and like all of the live action shows have been good. I mean, I've loved every single part or have, there's been a lot of things to love about the live action stuff. Right.
00:18:34
Speaker
Well, what do you think in star Wars needs that kind of detail? And like, what do you want out of star Wars that needs to be a show to me? i don't think the continuation of Daisy Ridley story of Ray should be a movie.
00:18:50
Speaker
I think it should be a show. Like, I think whatever is happening with her requires more detail than, and time to like uh like to breathe right so i would like that to be a show not a movie what if that's a trilogy I don't want a trilogy. I don't want a trilogy.
00:19:14
Speaker
Trilogy puts it in such a tight box, right? And it creates these expectations of like this gigantic ending,
Rey's Story: TV Show or Trilogy?
00:19:23
Speaker
right? I just i want a show.
00:19:26
Speaker
and I want the Acolyte to come back. i mean I mean, yes. all Check, check, check. I'll want that all us as well. like We need shows like that. right That's where I think They could do really well if they kept some of the live action still on Disney+. Do you think Disney listens to us, Lauren? I think they should.
00:19:49
Speaker
No, they don't. They should. We're smart. I mean, I agree. I don't disagree. Listen to us, Bob Iger. There's a lot of things you could have did differently in the last couple weeks, buddy, but I digress.
00:20:03
Speaker
But, yeah, I... um Again, to kind of get it back to the Grogu and Mando trailer or Mando Grogu trailer. I'm hyped. The music.
00:20:14
Speaker
I don't want to miss that. It gets you pumped. I'm sorry, dude. and do Like you're just like, yep. And then the scream that. It's so good. Like it.
Lowering Expectations for New Content
00:20:27
Speaker
You get back into it. Like you're just like, yep. And here's why I guess this is where I'm at with Star Wars. This is maybe where I want to go with it too, Ange. Obviously, you and I have been doing this for, what, six years now?
00:20:39
Speaker
Yeah. Last month, August. So... would say early on, for me, i was definitely way more invested in, like... don't want to say scoops or anything like that, but, like, what was going on? What was you know what were people saying? you know Oh, this could be coming out that kind of Like, really getting in the weeds with Star Wars.
00:21:04
Speaker
And as time has went on, I've, I've backed off of that a lot. Like i'm I'm barely on, well, I'm not on Twitter anymore. Boom.
00:21:15
Speaker
I'm not like I don't post or anything. I still have an account there. I'm probably going to delete that eventually. But but like i I only have basically Blue Sky and Instagram. And Instagram I only watch Reels on. So I really don't even post anything on there anyway.
00:21:28
Speaker
but But like Blue Sky, i i I'll go on there. But I'm not like searching for Star Wars stuff like I used to. So my whole mindset has changed.
00:21:39
Speaker
Whereas this is where I compare it to.
00:21:44
Speaker
With Marvel, my knowledge of Marvel is very limited, right? I'm not a huge, like I'm not in the weeds, comic book lore. Like I don't know the different runs and all that.
00:21:57
Speaker
I go into a Marvel movie just wanting to be entertained and have some fun. Expectations are kind of low. Yeah. This is how I'm going into Star Wars now.
00:22:11
Speaker
With just... try like Again, as much as I... In the opposite with Star Wars in into like versus Marvel, right? I've read all... you know i As you know, we read a lot of Star Wars books, comics.
00:22:25
Speaker
We watch all the content. like we are we're it We're in the weeds of Star Wars. We do a freaking podcast about it. So, of course, we are. But I'm trying to be more... When it comes to...
00:22:36
Speaker
the the content that they put out and the expectations for it. Let's go there. My expectations are changing to where like ae I'm treating it, and this is not like a ah jab or anything either way, but like I am trying to just lower those expectations, I guess, and just go in look going into a new Star Wars movie or live action show or whatever it is.
00:23:05
Speaker
was just, hey, I'm going in for fun. I'm going in for entertainment. I'm going in for the but the joy of it. I'm not going in to be like, oh, are they going to tie this and that? Or are we going see this person, that person, that? You know what I'm saying? Because I think that's where, for me, i got lost and i got lost in the sauce, if you want to say. like When you get really into it, I think your expectations...
00:23:33
Speaker
change because of that, right? you You want to see certain things or you expect to see certain things and then when they don't happen, you get upset a little bit, right? That's just the nature of it. So that's what I am moving, like, trying to take Star Wars...
00:23:49
Speaker
Not so seriously in that respect. Does that make sense? I got it. in And where do you go with it? Like, where are you? Where are you with Star Wars at this juncture? Like, do you feel that way? Or like, are you still you want connection? You want in the weed stuff? Like, where are you with all that? Well, I mean, right now, lot of things are sewn up, right? So...
00:24:11
Speaker
I'm not going into a show or a movie saying i i need an answer to this. um And when The Force Awakens came out, it presented a lot of questions.
00:24:23
Speaker
And then the expectation was that we were going to get answers to those in the next two movies.
A Relaxed Approach to Fandom
00:24:30
Speaker
And when we didn't, I feel like that's where my discomfort and disappointment in the trilogy was.
00:24:40
Speaker
So right now, if we keep this as just fun Star Wars that is telling a story about life and humanity, then I'm cool with it. Yeah.
00:24:58
Speaker
But, you know, where I think I might get a little grouchy is like when we get into Ahsoka season two and when we maybe get into Filoni's movie, because there is a lot that backs those characters up. And there are a lot of expectations of where those characters should land.
00:25:14
Speaker
So I feel like in that scenario, I would maybe be a little bit more, as you say, in the weeds. Yeah. and critical for mando and grogu right what we wanted answers to we got answers to right we wanted the mandalore stuff we wanted the dark saber stuff we wanted to know who the big bad was we got all of that so now i don't necessarily have much expectation like what is this movie even about let's be honest like what is it about like
00:25:45
Speaker
You're right. And I think that, again, that's why the teaser is the teaser, right? i Yeah. That's where my expectations for the next trailer would be more ah more exploratory of what story is going yeah what's the plot in this one? And if it's just showing Grogu with tiny objects and swimming and doing Grogu things, all right.
00:26:14
Speaker
I'll take it. And Babu Frick. i don't know if that is Babu Frick, but it's definitely an old man's own. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Him saying nice shot, baby. If I get that the entire movie, I'm fine. Oh my God. You're right. That is a nice shot, baby. yeah
00:26:29
Speaker
but But that's the stuff that I'm right. Like, again, that's where like the entertainment value for me is. That's what I'm looking for. Right. And even in.
00:26:40
Speaker
And I'm glad you like, even with the Soka season two as much, and you know, this cause we're both huge. Soka fans were both huge rebels fans. As much as i love all those characters, Ezra, Sabine, Ahsoka, um, Hera chopper.
00:26:58
Speaker
We're going to get Jason's and do it. Like as much as I love those characters and what I want their arcs to be right.
00:27:09
Speaker
I have to, again, for me, mentally, I have to put those expectations low because, again, if I, for me, if I put them way too high, it's never going to happen. like And as great as Filoni is at telling stories with those characters, really, specifically, because those are his babies, right?
00:27:32
Speaker
they're still not going to meet my expectations, right? Because i they're going to be so high for me. So even when that shows show comes out, yeah, I mean, I think I agree.
00:27:42
Speaker
I'll probably be a little more critical, but like I'm going to really try hard not to like be so like, oh what why wasn't Ezra doing this or that? didn You know what I'm saying? Like i'm it's going to be hard, but I'm going to try because, again, I just want or maybe this is where I'm at with it.
00:28:01
Speaker
I don't want to figure out the story ahead of time. I want the story to be told to me and let me like, let it just happen.
00:28:13
Speaker
Yeah. And then go, okay, cool. Maybe I would did this, but I'm fine with it. Like then after it's all aired, then kind of, you know, do a, do an overall, this, this is kind of what I thought.
00:28:29
Speaker
attitude for. does that make sense? Like, yeah, ah kind of where I'm at with it. it's I think that's a little bit of why i enjoyed the Acolyte so much is just because i had no idea where it was going. Right. It was very fresh ground.
00:28:45
Speaker
ah There were a little bit expectations around the High Republic and who we expected to see ah like canon wise. But When a story is fresh, it it allows you to just enjoy it, you know? And, you know, Star Wars is weird with us, right? We always say, first watch, we're always like, ugh.
00:29:10
Speaker
First watch is always like, duh. First watch is always just like, what am like? It's overwhelming for me. It's so overwhelming. Over-stimulating, like, oh my God, right? So... We have to watch, again, maybe you can agree disagree, we have to watch it multiple times. too Oh, yeah.
00:29:26
Speaker
Yeah. Right? And I just, yeah, i I agree with you. don't even know what was the last thing that we talked about where I was like, I just don't want to even think about what might happen or or what are my, you know, what are my thoughts going forward? I don't even want to do that anymore.
00:29:45
Speaker
Right. But as podcasters, I think that's what you're supposed to do. So we're really good. kids I promise we're really good at this. We are not professionals. I promise you.
00:29:57
Speaker
We're literally doing this for ourselves if we're going be completely honest.
Evolution of Star Wars Fandom
00:30:02
Speaker
And if you listen to us and like it, we thank Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for listening, honestly. But no, I mean, again, there is a point where, like, again, maybe it's just with age, maturity, and just how, you know, how I'm trying to enjoy, like,
00:30:21
Speaker
media it's just it just has changed like when again six years ago dude i was in the weeds with star wars man when we we again we were doing this podcast we were doing this we were like we we were trying to keep up with everybody else and i don't want to say that then let me take that back but like we were trying just to keep up with star wars let me just say that yeah youre we were trying to keep up with star wars with star wars with their content with the news with everything right yeah But now I feel like for me, that has changed where I'm like, I don't really, i don't really need that anymore. Like if I see something come across the desk and be like, oh, that's cool.
00:31:00
Speaker
Like the whole Ryan Gosling supposedly in Star Wars and then it gets confirmed at Celebration. oh okay. Like, cool. But like six years ago, I would have been knee deep in that, like trying to figure out who's he playing. You know I'm saying? Like, right yeah that mentality for me has changed.
00:31:18
Speaker
To where I'm just trying to just enjoy Star Wars for what it is now. Right? And have fun with it. And again, yeah, maybe not have as high as expectations of like what I want to see in the next movie or animation or whatnot. Right?
00:31:41
Speaker
Because that can get, again, that I think that can really, and for me, that can really
00:31:49
Speaker
bring down the enjoyment of the overall experience for Star Wars, right?
Grogu and Mando's Box Office Appeal
00:31:54
Speaker
Because like you're saying, when we go see a Star Wars, it's so fun. Because that first watch is so overwhelming, but it's but it's ah in a good way because like it's new Star Wars. It's new content. It's like, ah, like scatterbrain, like ADHD brain.
00:32:12
Speaker
Yeah. It's too much, but it's fun. were But we're I'm having fun. But then I need to step back and be like, okay, let me watch it again. what What are they saying?
00:32:24
Speaker
Right? Because it is. That's one thing with Star Wars. That you and I have always talked about. Even in the Mandu and Grogu. The show and probably in this movie. There's going to be a deep theme.
00:32:35
Speaker
Right? And I love talking about that stuff. You and I have always enjoyed talking about the bigger... bigger, deeper themes of what Star Wars is saying, right? To go a little bit more than surface level. We enjoy that.
00:32:51
Speaker
Like many, like many podcasters do, like many of the shows. People love to talk about the nitty gritty of it, right? The deep themes, the characters, the choices and everything like that. So again, yeah like with Mandu and Grogu, yeah, i I do have, I guess here's, i guess my expectations for it is that I'm going to have fun with it. I know I'm going to.
00:33:12
Speaker
Yeah. It's going to be a fun ride. It's going to be funny. You got Sigourney Weaver. I completely forgot she was in this cast. How awesome. How awesome is she? Again, how cool is Sigourney Weaver's in Star Wars, man?
00:33:29
Speaker
That's so freaking cool. Right? Yeah. yeah It's things like that. like You forget how
00:33:38
Speaker
other like ah like these actors who come into Star Wars they like they're fans of Star Wars right yeah and now they're in Star Wars like how freaking cool is it that Sigourney Weaver's in Star Wars all these people that we have seen do cameos in Star Wars, right?
00:33:58
Speaker
Lizzo, Jack Black, like all these people that we have seen in Star Wars because they love it, because they are attached to it in some way, shape or form.
00:34:09
Speaker
And I think that for for many people, I think Mandu and Grogu, I think a lot of people connected with this show who maybe weren't huge Star Wars fans, you know?
00:34:22
Speaker
and I think that's why... This movie, it's going to do well. lets I mean, let's just be honest. because This movie's going to do well. Yeah, it's the easy bet for Disney to to bring movies back into the theaters, Star Wars movies back into the theaters. It's like the easy bet. Like, it's Grogu, it's Mando, it's Pedro Pascal.
00:34:46
Speaker
You know, it's not Skywalker saga. You know, it is literally the easy bet. And again, it's going, yeah you could say, oh, it's just going be season four into a movie. Okay.
00:35:01
Speaker
All right. I'll watch it. Exactly. Multiple times. Like, say less. Like, I don't know what else you want me to do. Like, cool. You're telling me I get to watch it in a huge screen format in IMAX?
00:35:15
Speaker
here's money i can't wait to see the popcorn bucket give me a popcorn bucket can you imagine if it's the mando helmet or something that would be so i want to be something really cool i want it to be grogu's little uh pram you know oh that makes sense i like that that's a good call give us your uh your predictions people of what ah popcor buckets's going to be The one thing I don't want is to see the baby in distress.
00:35:43
Speaker
I don't want him captured. i don't want him, you know, and don't want that. So whoever is listening, if those scenes are in the movie, please edit it right now. my My heart will not be able to take it.
00:36:01
Speaker
i ah Well, I don't know. I mean, i hope not either, but... and a In a season long you know movie or in a movie, something's going to happen.
00:36:13
Speaker
and Not bad, but I think, yeah, I mean, we'll see. We'll see. But do again, I guess going into we talk about expectations.
Open-Ended Movie Expectations
00:36:23
Speaker
Do you have any for this movie? Or again, are we kind of both at? we're just Let's just have fun.
00:36:28
Speaker
I do not have any expectations. I don't even need an explanation of how the Razor Crest came back. I don't really care. Right. You see, that's don't need to know where the N1 is. i don't know. I don't need to know any of that.
00:36:41
Speaker
My only expectation is I do hope I see Peli Moto because she's one of yeah my favorite fun characters in the Mando universe. I think that's going to be great. i I want to see her.
00:36:55
Speaker
But other than that, I don't care. I'm with you. i Honestly, I'm 100 percent with you. Again, the Razor Crest coming back, cool. I can actually build my Razor Crest that I got in the box. Bro, and I was already thinking about that. I was like, Lauren still hasn't built her Razor Crest.
00:37:15
Speaker
First, I was thinking maybe I should get the UCS one, but I think it might be retired already. And then I was like, oh, man, Lauren hasn't even built hers yet. Nope. And now I now I can, though, because now it's just not pieces on the floor.
00:37:29
Speaker
now it's back. So and but again, I think like you said, old me, maybe like six years ago, me would have been like, how did it come back? You what Like that was maybe where I was with Star Wars.
00:37:40
Speaker
I needed that explanation now. Yeah, I don't care. cool am i and I'm glad he got it. Right. I mean, it's a cool freaking ship. Yeah. Bring it back. If this is, you know, but version two of it, I don't care. Like it's a cool freaking ship.
00:37:57
Speaker
He, he, you know, he rocks in it. Let's freaking go. Let's have fun with it. It's a freaking Razorcrest. Like it's an awesome ship. So that, yeah. Or like you're saying the N1, where that go? Like, I don't, yeah, I don't care.
00:38:11
Speaker
Like again, Ooh, is Boba Fett or is this or that? I don't care. yeah I don't care. i don't care. Cool. If he shows up, cool. If this person shows up, cool. I just want fun. And and I think that's a good space to be in, especially with this movie.
00:38:27
Speaker
You know, because again, I don't think like you're saying, what what story is there to tell? We'll find out. And I'm excited to find out. Right. That is one thing I'll say. I'm excited to find out what story they're going to tell with this. Like, because the last thing we know,
00:38:44
Speaker
right Him and Grogu are chilling and he is kind of a work for hire for the Republic, the new Republic and ah when ah in a way. right like that's That's basically it.
00:38:56
Speaker
That's all we know. So I assume this will be a whatever a continuation of that. right Whatever that means. so And again, I'm excited for new characters that we'll get that we haven't even seen yet. right i mean Again, like you're saying, I'm hoping to see Peli, like, that'd be awesome.
00:39:16
Speaker
Like, some of the characters that we have seen through the Mando, you know, show, hope we see them, right? Like, Bo. Yeah. Seeing Bo would make sense. The armor.
00:39:28
Speaker
The armor, right. Like, although, like, that's, I hope we get to see those characters, sure. Right? Or, uh. We will not see grief, Cargo. How sad. R.I.P. Hmm.
00:39:39
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or are we going to see, ah what's his face to start the X-Wing pilot? um Ray Carson. Yeah, Carson. Are we going to see him?
00:39:51
Speaker
Right? Are we going to see Hera? Like, again, but I don't care if we do or don't. That's the thing. Like you're saying. I am at the point where, like, cool. show Just give me some popcorn. and I just want to enjoy it At this point, if I only see the Mandalorian the and Grogu as the title suggests.
00:40:12
Speaker
Right. Cool. Right. Exactly. Exactly. Good. Because I like those two characters. Thank you. I don't need to see anybody else. Right. I mean, again, it's seen Mando do some cool stuff already in the trailer, like, you know, kicking butt.
00:40:28
Speaker
I'm already in. Like, you know, taking down um ad ads, taking down. Don't stop it. I had to get that in. But taking down all the cool stuff. Right.
00:40:39
Speaker
and Or and then we get that shot of some hut guy like. Yeah, wrote a I mean, remember and in the Clone Wars movie?
00:40:51
Speaker
Yeah. yeah Yeah. We need to know ah you know what happened with him. Cool. Let's go. like I'm excited. Yeah. Give me some Montel popcorn mixing.
00:41:02
Speaker
let's Let's jam. Let's have some good. Let's jam and let's have fun. I really am. though I'm excited for the score. I hope Ludwig I don't know if he is doing the score. I would assume. but I don't know either. I hope he does. I mean it would make sense. I mean he has composed the show so I would I would guess he's going to do the movie, but even if he doesn't, if they keep the vibe like like he has, I'm cool with it.
00:41:27
Speaker
Because that's one thing the Mandalorian, I think, and don't know if it goes under, you know, underrated or whatever, but the music is so freaking good in that show.
00:41:40
Speaker
and i think it's And I think hearing... like I'm just excited to be sitting in the theater and just hearing the Mando theme yeah coming out of a theater.
Daily Star Wars Engagement
00:41:49
Speaker
It's going be so cool.
00:41:52
Speaker
It's going to be so cool. I can't wait. I can't wait. Ang, anything else you want to bring up about the movie or anything Star Wars related? I know we did get... Another trailer.
00:42:03
Speaker
don't know if we'll talk about it, but we are Vision 3 coming in October. We're very excited. I'm very excited. I know you're. Yeah, that looked great. I can't wait. Period. Maybe we'll talk about those at some point when they come out. But other than that, any other Star Wars news or anything else you want to talk about before we wrap it up?
00:42:23
Speaker
No. um Yeah, I i just i so I still Star Wars every day. Right. Either i I watch an episode of something before I go to bed or read Star Wars books. So I still Star Wars every day, but ah not enough for us to have like a full on conversation about. Right.
00:42:44
Speaker
So it's it was exciting that we got a trailer so that you and I could like sit down and talk about it. So I'm happy about that. Yeah, no, 100%. I'm glad that we got some content to discuss and have some fun with and, you know, talk about. Yeah, 100%.
00:43:00
Speaker
I have been, what again, haven't been Star Wars-ing, but i it's really weird. I think I've said this before. I love Star Wars, but I don't Star Wars every day.
00:43:13
Speaker
But I will from time to time, like, again, because Rebels is my favorite freaking show ever, ah will watch episodes. And recently i was watching, like, season four, like the last few episodes.
00:43:27
Speaker
And just what's been on my mind is World Between Worlds and what that all means. Maybe we'll talk about that at some point. Maybe not, but... I love Rebels and I will watch that a loop.
00:43:39
Speaker
Like that would be my only Star Wars-y soursy thing. You know, because the characters are great. And again, we will see that we'll see them in Ahsoka season two, hopefully. And we'll see where it goes.
Anticipation and Joy for Upcoming Content
00:43:53
Speaker
But yeah, so Grogu, Mandu and Grogu trailer, teaser, go watch it.
00:43:59
Speaker
If you haven't, it looks cool. It looks like it's going to be a riot. We're going to have a lot of fun with it. And we're obviously going to talk about it when it comes out. We'll probably do a podcast episode about it. so And then, well, yeah, Visions 3. And then after that, I'm not... I really don't know what else. Darth Maul show. Oh, yeah. that's We haven't gotten a trailer for that yet, have we?
00:44:23
Speaker
No. That will be probably to talk about. Yes. We'll have to get on to talk about the trailer when that drops because... Yes. Oh, boy. That's going to be a fun one. Yeah. And animation is one of our favorites, so we'll talk about that, but...
00:44:39
