[00:00:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Doonbays aren't going to Doonbay themselves
[00:00:51] [SPEAKER_01]: You gotta actively do that

[00:00:56] [SPEAKER_03]: It's pretty crazy
[00:00:58] [SPEAKER_03]: You wanna know what Sleepy Kitty Paws
[00:01:00] [SPEAKER_03]: threw at me yesterday
[00:01:01] [SPEAKER_03]: as I was perusing
[00:01:03] [SPEAKER_03]: What'd she throw at you?
[00:01:04] [SPEAKER_03]: The X
[00:01:06] [SPEAKER_03]: This Twitter
[00:01:09] [SPEAKER_03]: They're doing on Hallmark Plus

[00:01:22] [SPEAKER_03]: and then another new movie series
[00:01:24] [SPEAKER_03]: of three movies
[00:01:24] [SPEAKER_03]: At least six movies
[00:01:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Three more Cherry Lane movies
[00:01:29] [SPEAKER_01]: That's what she said
[00:01:30] [SPEAKER_00]: I was clamoring
[00:01:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Good grief man
[00:01:33] [SPEAKER_03]: Cherry Lane
[00:01:36] [SPEAKER_03]: It's pretty exciting
[00:01:37] [SPEAKER_03]: I do think it's going to be a pretty
[00:01:41] [SPEAKER_03]: fun holiday season though
[00:01:42] [SPEAKER_03]: even though Hallmark Plus throws things for a loop
[00:01:45] [SPEAKER_03]: but we also got that show
[00:01:47] [SPEAKER_03]: the holidays
[00:01:49] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm excited about holidays
[00:01:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Me too
[00:01:51] [SPEAKER_00]: That's the Aaron Cahill vehicle correct?
[00:01:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah with Ian Harding
[00:01:55] [SPEAKER_01]: who's a national treasure
[00:01:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Very excited to be talking about Star Wars
[00:02:00] [SPEAKER_03]: though
[00:02:01] [SPEAKER_03]: This is a big one
[00:02:03] [SPEAKER_03]: This is what everybody was waiting for
[00:02:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Revenge of the Sith
[00:02:07] [SPEAKER_03]: You watch 4, 5, 6 and you're like it's done right
[00:02:09] [SPEAKER_03]: they're not going to do anymore
[00:02:10] [SPEAKER_03]: and then they come at you with 1, 2, 3
[00:02:12] [SPEAKER_03]: and you know it's going to end up on 3
[00:02:14] [SPEAKER_01]: This is the completion of the saga
[00:02:16] [SPEAKER_01]: as it stands and as George Lucas envisioned it
[00:02:20] [SPEAKER_01]: this is it for the saga
[00:02:22] [SPEAKER_01]: of Star Wars
[00:02:23] [SPEAKER_01]: this completes the story as he wanted to tell
[00:02:26] [SPEAKER_00]: It's almost like George Lucas knew
[00:02:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Hallmark Plus was going to launch
[00:02:30] [SPEAKER_00]: and that this would perfectly fit into the schedule
[00:02:32] [SPEAKER_01]: He was like they're going to launch something called Hallmark Plus
[00:02:34] [SPEAKER_03]: A long time ago
[00:02:36] [SPEAKER_03]: in a galaxy far away
[00:02:37] [SPEAKER_03]: George Lucas was like one day
[00:02:38] [SPEAKER_03]: there's going to be a podcast that primarily covers Hallmark movies
[00:02:42] [SPEAKER_03]: We're going to throw in the Star Wars
[00:02:44] [SPEAKER_03]: After Christmas in July
[00:02:45] [SPEAKER_03]: they're going to have some emptiness on Fridays
[00:02:49] [SPEAKER_03]: I think it needs 6 movies
[00:02:51] [SPEAKER_01]: They'll probably do Fast and Furious first
[00:02:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, probably
[00:02:54] [SPEAKER_01]: We're coming up on the 20th anniversary of Revenge of the Sith
[00:02:57] [SPEAKER_00]: That's wild
[00:02:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Isn't time a terrifying social construct?
[00:03:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh man isn't it though?
[00:03:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Ryan what's something that you think about
[00:03:05] [SPEAKER_03]: a lot that you're like that can't be that
[00:03:07] [SPEAKER_03]: far away and then it was
[00:03:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Well Christmas
[00:03:11] [SPEAKER_00]: and then every time I tell
[00:03:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Alyssa that I'm going to stop buying
[00:03:15] [SPEAKER_00]: toys for a while and then don't do that
[00:03:16] [SPEAKER_00]: It always feels like it goes really quick
[00:03:18] [SPEAKER_03]: I can see now that my question wasn't good
[00:03:21] [SPEAKER_03]: What I meant was
[00:03:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Ryan's still 12 years old
[00:03:24] [SPEAKER_01]: There's nothing we can do about that
[00:03:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Star Wars, Revenge of the Sith being 20 years old
[00:03:29] [SPEAKER_03]: It can't be that old
[00:03:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Is there something
[00:03:31] [SPEAKER_01]: I have a marker for mine
[00:03:33] [SPEAKER_01]: It's Train Drops of Jupiter
[00:03:35] [SPEAKER_01]: How old is Train Drops of Jupiter?
[00:03:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Train Drops of Jupiter is 23 years old
[00:03:40] [SPEAKER_01]: It's not possible
[00:03:42] [SPEAKER_01]: It's older than Don't Stop Believing
[00:03:45] [SPEAKER_01]: was when Train Drops of Jupiter came out
[00:03:47] [SPEAKER_01]: So like that is
[00:03:48] [SPEAKER_01]: what dates me to make me old
[00:03:51] [SPEAKER_00]: I believe you wholeheartedly
[00:03:53] [SPEAKER_01]: How old was Don't Stop Believing when
[00:03:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Drops of Jupiter came out?
[00:03:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Like 18 years
[00:03:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Train Drops of Jupiter came out in
[00:04:00] [SPEAKER_01]: 2001. I was a senior in high school
[00:04:03] [SPEAKER_01]: and the idea that that song
[00:04:05] [SPEAKER_01]: is 23 years old is crazy
[00:04:07] [SPEAKER_01]: to me. It's crazy
[00:04:09] [SPEAKER_01]: and I don't know why but that song
[00:04:11] [SPEAKER_01]: is the mark of time for me
[00:04:13] [SPEAKER_01]: It's so weird
[00:04:14] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not like a train
[00:04:15] [SPEAKER_01]: stand over here
[00:04:17] [SPEAKER_03]: We made it to the Milky Way
[00:04:20] [SPEAKER_01]: The lights are all faded
[00:04:22] [SPEAKER_01]: There's nothing we can do
[00:04:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Macaroni in my roll bag
[00:04:28] [SPEAKER_03]: This is not a rainbow
[00:04:30] [SPEAKER_03]: in the rainbow colors
[00:04:34] [SPEAKER_03]: It's Train
[00:04:34] [SPEAKER_00]: I gotcha. Probably like the Power Rangers
[00:04:38] [SPEAKER_00]: movie to answer your question
[00:04:40] [SPEAKER_00]: 30 years ago
[00:04:42] [SPEAKER_00]: 30 years ago?
[00:04:43] [SPEAKER_00]: 95 man
[00:04:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Come on and take a free ride
[00:04:47] [SPEAKER_03]: You know what I mean?
[00:04:49] [SPEAKER_00]: That's actually really made me happy
[00:04:52] [SPEAKER_00]: They're rollerblading down the
[00:04:54] [SPEAKER_00]: The first 8 minutes of that film
[00:04:56] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean the whole thing is immaculate but the first 8
[00:04:57] [SPEAKER_00]: I just want to live in that first 8 minutes
[00:04:59] [SPEAKER_00]: for as much as possible
[00:05:00] [SPEAKER_03]: I think you have
[00:05:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Your backwards cap proves
[00:05:06] [SPEAKER_01]: that you can do anything you put your mind to
[00:05:07] [SPEAKER_01]: You're buying toys and you're talking wrestling
[00:05:09] [SPEAKER_01]: and you're in your 30s. You've done it
[00:05:11] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm still looking like 25 when I wear the cap backwards
[00:05:13] [SPEAKER_00]: 100%
[00:05:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Thank you
[00:05:16] [SPEAKER_03]: After this you're going to go rollerblading
[00:05:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Thank you
[00:05:20] [SPEAKER_00]: How does this work for you on the X?
[00:05:23] [SPEAKER_00]: You don't post
[00:05:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Just like an Orlando Magic
[00:05:27] [SPEAKER_00]: account and you look at other stuff
[00:05:29] [SPEAKER_03]: My personal
[00:05:31] [SPEAKER_03]: X account is
[00:05:33] [SPEAKER_03]: 100% Orlando Magic
[00:05:36] [SPEAKER_03]: If you go
[00:05:37] [SPEAKER_03]: You're going to be like oh my gosh it really is
[00:05:38] [SPEAKER_03]: So that's why, don't go follow
[00:05:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Don't follow
[00:05:43] [SPEAKER_03]: It's literally just for me
[00:05:45] [SPEAKER_03]: so that I can go back and be like
[00:05:47] [SPEAKER_03]: that was a great dunk
[00:05:48] [SPEAKER_01]: You can follow me for an occasional string of political tweets
[00:05:51] [SPEAKER_01]: and then nothing
[00:05:52] [SPEAKER_01]: for a while and then an occasional tweet
[00:05:55] [SPEAKER_01]: about my kids
[00:05:56] [SPEAKER_01]: and an occasional tweet about a movie
[00:05:58] [SPEAKER_01]: I do a movie review from time to time
[00:06:00] [SPEAKER_01]: I'd say I'm at 30 tweets a year
[00:06:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Super active out there twice a month
[00:06:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Three times a month tweeting
[00:06:07] [SPEAKER_00]: You know me
[00:06:08] [SPEAKER_00]: I think that's the way to be
[00:06:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Burning up the phone
[00:06:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Bran I really regret not meeting Penny Hardaway
[00:06:14] [SPEAKER_00]: I probably should have done that
[00:06:15] [SPEAKER_01]: You should have done that
[00:06:17] [SPEAKER_01]: You know him and JC Chazet are starting a new business
[00:06:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Penny Hardaway is a very successful college basketball coach
[00:06:24] [SPEAKER_00]: She's incredibly successful
[00:06:24] [SPEAKER_00]: And that's not to say that JC Chazet isn't successful
[00:06:26] [SPEAKER_01]: It was a cheap shot and I knew it as soon as I said it
[00:06:28] [SPEAKER_01]: and I'm sorry
[00:06:31] [SPEAKER_01]: He's a successful recruiter
[00:06:33] [SPEAKER_01]: He's a superimpaired player
[00:06:34] [SPEAKER_01]: He's unbelievable
[00:06:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Once I found out that Fanatics Fest was a thing
[00:06:38] [SPEAKER_03]: I was upset that I wasn't going
[00:06:40] [SPEAKER_03]: It looks great
[00:06:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Paolo was there
[00:06:42] [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't get to go but it looked like it was awesome
[00:06:45] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how many more chances I'll have to meet Penny Hardaway
[00:06:47] [SPEAKER_03]: They did first take there
[00:06:50] [SPEAKER_03]: in the lobby and the sound was awful
[00:06:52] [SPEAKER_03]: It was great
[00:06:55] [SPEAKER_00]: What's your biggest magic meet Bran?
[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_03]: He's met a bunch of them
[00:06:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Don't get him started
[00:07:00] [SPEAKER_03]: We don't have time for this
[00:07:02] [SPEAKER_03]: During our last great run
[00:07:04] [SPEAKER_03]: in the late 2000s
[00:07:08] [SPEAKER_03]: I frequented a TV show
[00:07:10] [SPEAKER_03]: called Magic Overtime with Dante Nicolante
[00:07:12] [SPEAKER_03]: I would go on there and I would sing
[00:07:14] [SPEAKER_03]: songs for Atlanta Magic players
[00:07:16] [SPEAKER_00]: I think you've told me this story
[00:07:17] [SPEAKER_03]: At one point they brought me to a live event
[00:07:21] [SPEAKER_03]: with season ticket holders
[00:07:22] [SPEAKER_03]: and I was on stage and they would bring
[00:07:24] [SPEAKER_03]: the people, the players on the stage
[00:07:26] [SPEAKER_03]: and I had to sing it to them
[00:07:27] [SPEAKER_03]: to their face
[00:07:30] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure that went well for them
[00:07:32] [SPEAKER_01]: I sure want that video so badly
[00:07:35] [SPEAKER_03]: It's out there, I have it somewhere
[00:07:37] [SPEAKER_03]: I saw Penny Hardaway
[00:07:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Falling for Basketball is back
[00:07:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Off season edition
[00:07:42] [SPEAKER_01]: I saw Penny Hardaway play live
[00:07:45] [SPEAKER_01]: for our country
[00:07:47] [SPEAKER_01]: at the Olympics
[00:07:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Dream Team too
[00:07:50] [SPEAKER_01]: That was pretty great
[00:07:52] [SPEAKER_01]: I was on the rafters of the Georgia Dome but I did see it
[00:07:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Number 6 in your Olympic program
[00:07:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Number 1 in your Magic program
[00:07:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Shaq was also on that team
[00:08:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Dream Team too is underrated
[00:08:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Number 2 in your Magic program
[00:08:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Penny Hardaway
[00:08:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Number 1 in your program
[00:08:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Number 2 in your heart if you're a Magic fan
[00:08:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Star Wars Episode 3
[00:08:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's talk about this, the natural progression
[00:08:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Star Wars is now a Disney property
[00:08:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Disney is a sponsor of the Orlando Magic
[00:08:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Star Wars Episode 3
[00:08:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Revenge of the Sith
[00:08:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Originally premiered at the old
[00:08:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Cannes Festival
[00:08:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Cannes?
[00:08:33] [SPEAKER_03]: Cannes on May 15, 2005
[00:08:36] [SPEAKER_00]: How long of a standing ovation did it get?
[00:08:39] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to look that up
[00:08:40] [SPEAKER_03]: while I do this
[00:08:41] [SPEAKER_03]: And then May 19, 2005
[00:08:42] [SPEAKER_03]: everywhere else
[00:08:43] [SPEAKER_03]: So we're three years deep into the Clone Wars
[00:08:46] [SPEAKER_03]: We kick things off with the Jedi Knights
[00:08:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi
[00:08:49] [SPEAKER_03]: They are attempting the galaxy's
[00:08:52] [SPEAKER_03]: most dangerous rescue mission
[00:08:53] [SPEAKER_03]: saving Supreme Chancellor
[00:08:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Palpatine
[00:08:57] [SPEAKER_03]: from General Grievous
[00:09:00] [SPEAKER_03]: They find the Chancellor
[00:09:01] [SPEAKER_03]: but oh look! Dooku's in the house
[00:09:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Cue lightsaber duel
[00:09:07] [SPEAKER_03]: I think
[00:09:08] [SPEAKER_03]: earliest lightsaber duel
[00:09:09] [SPEAKER_03]: in the history of the lightsaber duels
[00:09:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Obi-Wan is knocked out
[00:09:13] [SPEAKER_03]: and so it's up to Anakin to fight him off
[00:09:16] [SPEAKER_03]: which he does
[00:09:17] [SPEAKER_03]: and he has Dooku cornered
[00:09:19] [SPEAKER_03]: and after some convincing
[00:09:21] [SPEAKER_03]: from the Chancellor
[00:09:23] [SPEAKER_03]: he kills
[00:09:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Dooku despite Dooku not having
[00:09:27] [SPEAKER_03]: a weapon on him
[00:09:29] [SPEAKER_03]: That's against the Jedi Code
[00:09:30] [SPEAKER_03]: He immediately is like, what have I done?
[00:09:33] [SPEAKER_03]: And the Chancellor is like, listen
[00:09:35] [SPEAKER_03]: who can really say
[00:09:37] [SPEAKER_03]: what happened? It's an
[00:09:39] [SPEAKER_03]: absolute mystery. You did what you had to do
[00:09:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Now you'd think that that'd be enough
[00:09:43] [SPEAKER_03]: excitement for one day but no!
[00:09:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Grievous captures them
[00:09:46] [SPEAKER_03]: and it's up to R2-D2 to pull off
[00:09:49] [SPEAKER_03]: a miracle escape
[00:09:50] [SPEAKER_03]: with lots of bee beeps
[00:09:52] [SPEAKER_03]: and lots of boo boops
[00:09:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Anakin leads them to safety
[00:09:57] [SPEAKER_03]: back
[00:09:58] [SPEAKER_03]: and just like that
[00:10:01] [SPEAKER_03]: we're all happy
[00:10:03] [SPEAKER_03]: everything's good
[00:10:04] [SPEAKER_03]: and that's the end of the movie. It's not though!
[00:10:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Back on solid ground, Anakin's reunion
[00:10:08] [SPEAKER_03]: with Padme is in full force
[00:10:11] [SPEAKER_03]: She reveals that she is a preggers
[00:10:13] [SPEAKER_03]: and this makes Anakin very happy
[00:10:15] [SPEAKER_03]: but also he freaks out because he keeps
[00:10:17] [SPEAKER_03]: having nightmares about her dying
[00:10:18] [SPEAKER_03]: This guy has crazy dreams
[00:10:21] [SPEAKER_03]: He chats with Yoda
[00:10:23] [SPEAKER_03]: who's basically like
[00:10:24] [SPEAKER_03]: stop being so clingy, it's a bad look
[00:10:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Anakin's not having it though
[00:10:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Anakin's like, I don't think Yoda has my best
[00:10:31] [SPEAKER_03]: interest at heart. Meanwhile
[00:10:33] [SPEAKER_03]: Palpatine's sweet talking
[00:10:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Anakin into thinking that the Jedi Council
[00:10:37] [SPEAKER_03]: needs him more
[00:10:39] [SPEAKER_03]: than he needs them. They're definitely
[00:10:41] [SPEAKER_03]: gonna make you master
[00:10:42] [SPEAKER_03]: it's a sure thing. Spoiler alert
[00:10:45] [SPEAKER_03]: it's not! They don't
[00:10:47] [SPEAKER_03]: They say you're in
[00:10:49] [SPEAKER_03]: but you're not in
[00:10:52] [SPEAKER_03]: You're fringing
[00:10:53] [SPEAKER_03]: situation
[00:10:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Anakin not thrilled by this
[00:10:57] [SPEAKER_03]: It goes from bad to worse very quickly
[00:10:59] [SPEAKER_03]: when he's asked to spy on
[00:11:01] [SPEAKER_03]: his pal the Chancellor
[00:11:03] [SPEAKER_03]: It's very awkward, he's like I don't think this is the best
[00:11:05] [SPEAKER_03]: idea. Things get more
[00:11:07] [SPEAKER_03]: tense when Anakin finds out that
[00:11:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Padme, from Padme that the
[00:11:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Republic's getting a little too corrupt
[00:11:13] [SPEAKER_03]: for her taste. He's like
[00:11:15] [SPEAKER_03]: as if you separatist
[00:11:17] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a good conversation
[00:11:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Palpatine invites Anakin to
[00:11:21] [SPEAKER_03]: a bubble show, hence the PG-13
[00:11:23] [SPEAKER_03]: rating, for a
[00:11:25] [SPEAKER_03]: private chat and gets
[00:11:27] [SPEAKER_03]: right to sowing that seed of
[00:11:29] [SPEAKER_03]: doubt about the Jedi Council
[00:11:30] [SPEAKER_03]: and tells him a little old story
[00:11:33] [SPEAKER_03]: that he's like, you're gonna want
[00:11:35] [SPEAKER_03]: to hear this. Once upon a time there was
[00:11:37] [SPEAKER_03]: somebody that was a Sith Lord
[00:11:39] [SPEAKER_03]: who could stop people from dying
[00:11:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Let me ask you this Anakin
[00:11:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Is there anybody in your life that you'd like to
[00:11:45] [SPEAKER_03]: not die? And he's like son of a gun
[00:11:47] [SPEAKER_03]: This is crazy
[00:11:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Well I never! Like I'm, this might be
[00:11:51] [SPEAKER_03]: something that could be useful to me. The Jedi Council
[00:11:53] [SPEAKER_03]: sends Obi-Wan to deal with
[00:11:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Grievous while Anakin is left
[00:11:57] [SPEAKER_03]: feeling like the kid who did not get
[00:11:59] [SPEAKER_03]: picked at the dodgeball game. I'm not
[00:12:01] [SPEAKER_03]: talking about myself. I was always picked
[00:12:03] [SPEAKER_03]: first. I know it doesn't look like it. I was
[00:12:05] [SPEAKER_03]: a very sought after dodgeball
[00:12:07] [SPEAKER_03]: player, unlike
[00:12:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Anakin Skywalker. But he makes nice
[00:12:11] [SPEAKER_03]: with Obi-Wan who tells him to hang out here
[00:12:13] [SPEAKER_03]: and be patient. He goes
[00:12:15] [SPEAKER_03]: to talk to Padme and he tells her that
[00:12:17] [SPEAKER_03]: he's frustrated with his desire
[00:12:19] [SPEAKER_03]: for more. It doesn't seem
[00:12:21] [SPEAKER_03]: like a good desire but also
[00:12:23] [SPEAKER_03]: he has found a way to
[00:12:25] [SPEAKER_03]: save him from his dreams becoming reality
[00:12:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Padme, I have dreams that you're
[00:12:29] [SPEAKER_03]: dying. I'm gonna make sure that
[00:12:31] [SPEAKER_03]: you don't die. And she's like
[00:12:33] [SPEAKER_03]: Cool man. She doesn't
[00:12:34] [SPEAKER_03]: encourage him to talk to somebody
[00:12:36] [SPEAKER_03]: No like hey go to therapy
[00:12:38] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like okay just have a good one
[00:12:40] [SPEAKER_03]: In a shocking twist, Anakin discovers
[00:12:42] [SPEAKER_03]: that Palpatine is a
[00:12:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Sith Lord. But instead of taking him
[00:12:46] [SPEAKER_03]: I know. But instead of taking
[00:12:48] [SPEAKER_03]: him down
[00:12:50] [SPEAKER_03]: But instead of taking him down he's like hey
[00:12:52] [SPEAKER_03]: this could be useful
[00:12:54] [SPEAKER_03]: for me saving
[00:12:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Padme. He does
[00:12:58] [SPEAKER_03]: tell Mace Windu though about
[00:13:00] [SPEAKER_03]: what he has learned. Mace Windu
[00:13:02] [SPEAKER_03]: What? Moss Windu
[00:13:03] [SPEAKER_03]: I had no idea. You thought it was Mace?
[00:13:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. I thought it was too
[00:13:08] [SPEAKER_03]: honestly. I've literally always said Mace Windu
[00:13:10] [SPEAKER_03]: It's Moss Windu
[00:13:12] [SPEAKER_03]: I've always heard Mace Windu
[00:13:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Really? Maybe I'm wrong
[00:13:16] [SPEAKER_01]: now that I've got both of you saying that
[00:13:18] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm pretty sure it's Moss but now I'm not
[00:13:20] [SPEAKER_03]: sure anymore. And it's like hey
[00:13:22] [SPEAKER_03]: you should let me help. I'm pretty powerful
[00:13:25] [SPEAKER_03]: and he refuses
[00:13:26] [SPEAKER_03]: He does, he goes to
[00:13:28] [SPEAKER_03]: confirm what Anakin
[00:13:30] [SPEAKER_03]: has told him for himself. He shows up
[00:13:32] [SPEAKER_03]: to arrest Palpatine and he
[00:13:34] [SPEAKER_03]: goes into full Sith mode
[00:13:36] [SPEAKER_03]: His face looking real gross
[00:13:38] [SPEAKER_03]: and gets into a lightsaber battle with
[00:13:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Mace Windu. And just as he
[00:13:42] [SPEAKER_03]: has it all under control, Anakin
[00:13:44] [SPEAKER_03]: shows up to
[00:13:46] [SPEAKER_03]: help Palpatine
[00:13:48] [SPEAKER_03]: He helps Palpatine. Anakin cuts off
[00:13:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Windu's hand and then
[00:13:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Palpatine uses magic fingers
[00:13:54] [SPEAKER_03]: to launch him out the window
[00:13:56] [SPEAKER_03]: It's not what it sounds like
[00:13:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Anakin feels bad for about
[00:13:59] [SPEAKER_03]: 5 seconds and then he immediately pledges
[00:14:02] [SPEAKER_03]: himself to the dark side by saying
[00:14:04] [SPEAKER_03]: I pledge myself to the dark side
[00:14:06] [SPEAKER_01]: To the Republic
[00:14:08] [SPEAKER_01]: for which it stands. He
[00:14:09] [SPEAKER_03]: does this in exchange for
[00:14:12] [SPEAKER_03]: being able to help
[00:14:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Padme's life not end
[00:14:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Palpatine names him
[00:14:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Darth Vader and is immediately sent
[00:14:19] [SPEAKER_03]: on his first mission. Kill children
[00:14:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Nothing like being thrown into the deep end
[00:14:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Order 66 is issued
[00:14:26] [SPEAKER_03]: which causes all the clones to turn
[00:14:27] [SPEAKER_03]: on the Jedi's. Luckily, Obi-Wan
[00:14:29] [SPEAKER_03]: survives his attack. Anakin
[00:14:31] [SPEAKER_03]: then decides to visit Padme
[00:14:33] [SPEAKER_03]: Tells her that he is
[00:14:35] [SPEAKER_03]: now all about that Chancellor
[00:14:37] [SPEAKER_03]: About that Chancellor, no Jedi
[00:14:39] [SPEAKER_03]: He tells her that
[00:14:41] [SPEAKER_03]: he's been given an important mission and
[00:14:43] [SPEAKER_03]: heads off to finish the Separatist leaders
[00:14:45] [SPEAKER_03]: And boy does he
[00:14:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Obi-Wan watches the CCTV
[00:14:49] [SPEAKER_03]: footage. You always gotta erase that stuff
[00:14:52] [SPEAKER_03]: if you're gonna kill a bunch of people
[00:14:53] [SPEAKER_03]: And figures out that Anakin has gone
[00:14:55] [SPEAKER_03]: full dark side
[00:14:56] [SPEAKER_03]: and he goes to tell Padme. Padme cannot believe it
[00:14:59] [SPEAKER_03]: So she goes to confront Anakin
[00:15:02] [SPEAKER_03]: herself. Despite
[00:15:04] [SPEAKER_03]: her pleas, he tries
[00:15:06] [SPEAKER_03]: to choke her out and throws her on the ground
[00:15:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Obi-Wan walks down and is like
[00:15:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Yo, back off bro
[00:15:11] [SPEAKER_03]: And the two pals are no longer
[00:15:14] [SPEAKER_03]: pals and they have a dramatic
[00:15:15] [SPEAKER_03]: lightsaber duel as you do
[00:15:18] [SPEAKER_03]: right by lava riverbank
[00:15:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Anakin's limbs get
[00:15:21] [SPEAKER_03]: sliced off, he's left burning
[00:15:23] [SPEAKER_03]: by the lava. It's a tough
[00:15:25] [SPEAKER_03]: breakup. It's tough. We hate it. While
[00:15:27] [SPEAKER_03]: all that's happening, at the same time Yoda
[00:15:29] [SPEAKER_03]: shows up and has a bit of a battle
[00:15:31] [SPEAKER_03]: with Palpatine in the
[00:15:33] [SPEAKER_03]: old Senate Chamber Brawl
[00:15:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Which I believe they're gonna have one of those at the next
[00:15:37] [SPEAKER_03]: WWE pay-per-view. The Senate
[00:15:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Chamber Brawl. Let me tell you something brother, at the next
[00:15:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Senate Chamber Brawl
[00:15:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Yoda realizes that
[00:15:45] [SPEAKER_03]: he is not going to win this
[00:15:47] [SPEAKER_03]: match and he
[00:15:49] [SPEAKER_03]: escapes. Feeling that he failed
[00:15:51] [SPEAKER_03]: he exiles himself
[00:15:53] [SPEAKER_03]: He's probably gonna go to a swamp or something
[00:15:55] [SPEAKER_03]: like a loser. There you go
[00:15:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Obi-Wan gets Padme back on the
[00:15:59] [SPEAKER_03]: ship and they're able to bring
[00:16:01] [SPEAKER_03]: her back to safety and
[00:16:03] [SPEAKER_03]: they're able to get the babies
[00:16:05] [SPEAKER_03]: and they are safe. She names
[00:16:07] [SPEAKER_03]: him Luke and Leia and then she dies
[00:16:09] [SPEAKER_03]: She's dead. Doses. Anakin
[00:16:11] [SPEAKER_03]: gets saved by Palpatine after being burned
[00:16:13] [SPEAKER_03]: to a crisp and he's still fighting
[00:16:15] [SPEAKER_03]: for his life. He's still breathing somehow
[00:16:18] [SPEAKER_03]: So he is rebuilt into
[00:16:20] [SPEAKER_03]: the Darth Vader that we know
[00:16:21] [SPEAKER_03]: and love
[00:16:23] [SPEAKER_03]: He learns that Padme is dead
[00:16:25] [SPEAKER_03]: and he is basically blamed for it
[00:16:27] [SPEAKER_03]: and he lets out a super
[00:16:30] [SPEAKER_03]: sad
[00:16:32] [SPEAKER_03]: NOOOOOO
[00:16:33] [SPEAKER_03]: But Palpatine goes and shows him something
[00:16:35] [SPEAKER_03]: that might cheer him up
[00:16:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Something he's constructing that might look
[00:16:40] [SPEAKER_02]: a little familiar
[00:16:41] [SPEAKER_02]: A little Death Star situation
[00:16:43] [SPEAKER_02]: On Naboo
[00:16:52] [SPEAKER_03]: On Naboo, Padme's funeral is
[00:16:55] [SPEAKER_03]: held. Bail Organa
[00:16:58] [SPEAKER_03]: a name I definitely knew
[00:17:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Didn't need to look it up
[00:17:01] [SPEAKER_03]: I knew it! I knew it
[00:17:04] [SPEAKER_03]: He adopts Leia
[00:17:07] [SPEAKER_03]: He adopts Leia and
[00:17:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Obi-Wan takes Luke
[00:17:11] [SPEAKER_03]: and gives it to his aunt and uncle
[00:17:13] [SPEAKER_03]: and Tatooine as the sun sets
[00:17:16] [SPEAKER_03]: We see Obi-Wan leave
[00:17:17] [SPEAKER_03]: and then the family with Luke
[00:17:20] [SPEAKER_03]: looking out into the desert
[00:17:21] [SPEAKER_03]: as the sun sets
[00:17:23] [SPEAKER_03]: And that my friends was
[00:17:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Star Wars Episode 3
[00:17:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Revenge of the Sith
[00:17:29] [SPEAKER_03]: We did it
[00:17:30] [SPEAKER_03]: What'd you find out about the old window?
[00:17:32] [SPEAKER_01]: I looked up the standing
[00:17:35] [SPEAKER_01]: ovation thing. Could not find it
[00:17:37] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure if I looked further I could
[00:17:38] [SPEAKER_01]: It did get a standing ovation
[00:17:40] [SPEAKER_01]: It is not in the top 10
[00:17:42] [SPEAKER_01]: which I also looked up. I did already know
[00:17:44] [SPEAKER_01]: the number 1 cause I remember it
[00:17:47] [SPEAKER_01]: making news when it came out
[00:17:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Does anybody know number 1?
[00:17:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Brokeback Mountain
[00:17:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Why was that both of our guesses?
[00:17:55] [SPEAKER_01]: It's Pan's Labyrinth
[00:17:56] [SPEAKER_00]: I would have never got there
[00:17:58] [SPEAKER_01]: 22 minutes
[00:17:59] [SPEAKER_01]: That's an episode of Seinfeld
[00:18:03] [SPEAKER_01]: There's nothing I hate
[00:18:04] [SPEAKER_01]: more than this
[00:18:06] [SPEAKER_00]: It's the silliest thing ever
[00:18:06] [SPEAKER_00]: It got 20 minutes to do it. No one wants it
[00:18:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Everybody's lying
[00:18:11] [SPEAKER_03]: No one likes it
[00:18:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Pan's Labyrinth is a freaking great movie
[00:18:15] [SPEAKER_01]: If you've not seen it, it's a great
[00:18:17] [SPEAKER_01]: We got the time
[00:18:20] [SPEAKER_01]: But like Indiana Jones
[00:18:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Go ahead
[00:18:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely
[00:18:27] [SPEAKER_01]: That was 15 seconds
[00:18:30] [SPEAKER_01]: It's so long
[00:18:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's take a quick break
[00:18:32] [SPEAKER_01]: We'll come back
[00:18:32] [SPEAKER_03]: We'll break down stars
[00:18:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Take the Hallmark
[00:18:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Take the Hallmark
[00:18:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah
[00:18:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely
[00:18:44] [SPEAKER_01]: That was a 22 minute break
[00:18:46] [SPEAKER_01]: If you factor in commercials
[00:18:47] [SPEAKER_00]: We just beat Pan's Labyrinth
[00:18:51] [SPEAKER_03]: Suck on that Pan
[00:18:54] [SPEAKER_03]: Why don't you go to your labyrinth
[00:18:57] [SPEAKER_01]: You've never seen that movie
[00:18:58] [SPEAKER_00]: I have not seen it
[00:19:01] [SPEAKER_01]: You guys both
[00:19:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Friend of the pod
[00:19:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, friend of the pod Doug Jones
[00:19:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Friend of the pod Pan's Labyrinth
[00:19:08] [SPEAKER_00]: That's right
[00:19:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Have you seen it Aaron?
[00:19:12] [SPEAKER_01]: You guys are all heathens
[00:19:15] [SPEAKER_01]: It's like a fairy tale
[00:19:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Kind of gone wrong but still beautiful and wonderful
[00:19:20] [SPEAKER_01]: It's amazing
[00:19:21] [SPEAKER_01]: You need to go watch this movie
[00:19:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Star Wars Episode 3
[00:19:25] [SPEAKER_03]: The Sith
[00:19:28] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's share our shots
[00:19:30] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm excited to hear your thoughts on this movie
[00:19:32] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a big one
[00:19:34] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm excited to hear your thoughts
[00:19:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Ryan what did you think about Star Wars Episode 3
[00:19:38] [SPEAKER_00]: I was really negative last week
[00:19:39] [SPEAKER_00]: I felt bad about it for the last couple days
[00:19:43] [SPEAKER_01]: That's on you for feeling bad
[00:19:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Your job is to just
[00:19:46] [SPEAKER_00]: I just thought I was overly negative
[00:19:49] [SPEAKER_00]: It might have been the N'Sync scene getting cut
[00:19:52] [SPEAKER_00]: You might have hit that nail on that head
[00:19:54] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm here to tell you
[00:19:55] [SPEAKER_00]: I thought this movie was really really good
[00:19:57] [SPEAKER_00]: I saw this film in theaters
[00:19:59] [SPEAKER_00]: I owned it on physical media
[00:20:01] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think I still do anymore
[00:20:02] [SPEAKER_00]: I've seen it approximately 3 or 4 times
[00:20:05] [SPEAKER_00]: before this
[00:20:06] [SPEAKER_00]: I remember next to nothing about it
[00:20:08] [SPEAKER_00]: other than Lava Fight and the big moments
[00:20:11] [SPEAKER_00]: of the last 15-20 minutes
[00:20:13] [SPEAKER_00]: This movie is really well balanced
[00:20:15] [SPEAKER_00]: I think there's a very nice mix
[00:20:17] [SPEAKER_00]: between really good action
[00:20:19] [SPEAKER_00]: and really more intimate character to character
[00:20:22] [SPEAKER_00]: moments and I feel like the blend
[00:20:23] [SPEAKER_00]: on those two things really works
[00:20:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Hayden Christensen
[00:20:26] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to tell you he was good
[00:20:27] [SPEAKER_00]: but I'm going to tell you he was noticeably better
[00:20:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Noticeably better
[00:20:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Noticeably better
[00:20:33] [SPEAKER_00]: The biggest travesty as we've said
[00:20:36] [SPEAKER_00]: all three weeks or definitely the last two
[00:20:38] [SPEAKER_00]: since he's been on our screens
[00:20:40] [SPEAKER_00]: He's really a pretty solid actor
[00:20:42] [SPEAKER_00]: so they really did him wrong
[00:20:44] [SPEAKER_00]: here
[00:20:45] [SPEAKER_00]: So again it wasn't maybe a 6.5
[00:20:48] [SPEAKER_00]: 7 out of 10 but he was a 0
[00:20:50] [SPEAKER_00]: last week
[00:20:51] [SPEAKER_00]: To that point what helps is that
[00:20:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Anakin and Obi-Wan actually seem to
[00:20:56] [SPEAKER_00]: like each other for the parts during the film
[00:20:58] [SPEAKER_00]: and they're supposed to like each other
[00:20:59] [SPEAKER_00]: which makes the Lava Fight
[00:21:02] [SPEAKER_00]: all the more impactful because you're supposed to
[00:21:04] [SPEAKER_00]: be upset that they used to be friends
[00:21:05] [SPEAKER_00]: We used to be friends a long time ago
[00:21:08] [SPEAKER_00]: This feels more in line
[00:21:10] [SPEAKER_00]: tone wise with a lot of the
[00:21:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Disney Plus stuff that has come out Star Wars wise
[00:21:14] [SPEAKER_00]: over the last couple years and I personally
[00:21:16] [SPEAKER_00]: think that's a good thing
[00:21:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Palpatine slowly swaying
[00:21:19] [SPEAKER_00]: Anakin to the dark side, I like that
[00:21:22] [SPEAKER_00]: I thought the trajectory
[00:21:24] [SPEAKER_00]: worked, I thought all of that was good
[00:21:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Pacing's good, Sam L finally gets his chance
[00:21:28] [SPEAKER_00]: to shine, that's great
[00:21:30] [SPEAKER_00]: They butcher Padme
[00:21:32] [SPEAKER_00]: here. All of the good will
[00:21:34] [SPEAKER_00]: they built up for the first two films in terms of
[00:21:36] [SPEAKER_00]: a strong independent female character
[00:21:37] [SPEAKER_00]: for her, I don't think that hits the mark here
[00:21:40] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure I'll talk more about that in the Wait What
[00:21:41] [SPEAKER_00]: But ultimately
[00:21:44] [SPEAKER_00]: ultimately I think episode 2
[00:21:46] [SPEAKER_00]: is why the sequel trilogy
[00:21:48] [SPEAKER_00]: is looked so poorly upon
[00:21:50] [SPEAKER_00]: because there's things to like
[00:21:52] [SPEAKER_00]: in episode 1, even if it's just those
[00:21:54] [SPEAKER_00]: two big set pieces but those two big set pieces
[00:21:56] [SPEAKER_00]: take up about half the run time
[00:21:58] [SPEAKER_00]: of the film and then I think this
[00:22:00] [SPEAKER_00]: film is really good to the point
[00:22:02] [SPEAKER_00]: where I'm contemplating
[00:22:04] [SPEAKER_00]: putting it ahead of Jedi
[00:22:05] [SPEAKER_00]: I gotta pray about it for a minute or two
[00:22:07] [SPEAKER_01]: You gotta give that list at some point today
[00:22:09] [SPEAKER_01]: When are you gonna give it?
[00:22:12] [SPEAKER_00]: We're doing it, 5, 3, 6
[00:22:14] [SPEAKER_00]: 1, 4, 2, I like this movie
[00:22:16] [SPEAKER_01]: a lot. 5, 3, 6, 1, 4, 2
[00:22:17] [SPEAKER_01]: 4 being that low is
[00:22:20] [SPEAKER_01]: just an absolute
[00:22:22] [SPEAKER_01]: travesty but I get it
[00:22:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Um
[00:22:25] [SPEAKER_03]: I love this movie. It was great
[00:22:27] [SPEAKER_03]: I thought that this movie was phenomenal
[00:22:29] [SPEAKER_03]: I thought that per minute
[00:22:32] [SPEAKER_03]: on screen
[00:22:35] [SPEAKER_03]: non-stop action
[00:22:36] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like, John Williams never
[00:22:38] [SPEAKER_03]: put the little conductor pin
[00:22:40] [SPEAKER_03]: down, it was just non-stop
[00:22:41] [SPEAKER_03]: It was phenomenal
[00:22:42] [SPEAKER_03]: and I couldn't believe it
[00:22:45] [SPEAKER_03]: I've seen all of these movies
[00:22:47] [SPEAKER_03]: one time. So, I don't have a dog
[00:22:49] [SPEAKER_02]: in this fight. I don't care
[00:22:51] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't care. All these people that are like
[00:22:52] [SPEAKER_02]: I gotta do this, I gotta do that. I don't care
[00:22:55] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't care
[00:22:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Do you care, Brie? These movies mean nothing to me
[00:22:59] [SPEAKER_03]: That's right. I love this movie
[00:23:00] [SPEAKER_03]: I thought this movie was phenomenal. It was thrilling
[00:23:03] [SPEAKER_03]: I never got bored
[00:23:05] [SPEAKER_03]: which I think might be the first
[00:23:07] [SPEAKER_03]: time I can say it about a Star Wars
[00:23:09] [SPEAKER_03]: movie. Never once was bored throughout
[00:23:11] [SPEAKER_03]: this movie. The biggest
[00:23:14] [SPEAKER_03]: gripe I have
[00:23:14] [SPEAKER_03]: with this movie is a gripe I have with all
[00:23:16] [SPEAKER_03]: of episodes 1, 2 and 3
[00:23:19] [SPEAKER_03]: is the CGI
[00:23:20] [SPEAKER_03]: especially in the battle scene
[00:23:22] [SPEAKER_03]: between Anakin and Obi-Wan is so over the
[00:23:24] [SPEAKER_03]: top. It just hurt
[00:23:27] [SPEAKER_03]: It hurt my eyeballs
[00:23:28] [SPEAKER_03]: It was so over the top and tough
[00:23:31] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know how you do
[00:23:32] [SPEAKER_03]: a lava fight
[00:23:34] [SPEAKER_03]: scene practically but I
[00:23:36] [SPEAKER_03]: would like for them to have tried because
[00:23:39] [SPEAKER_03]: it hurts so badly
[00:23:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Aside from that, this movie rules
[00:23:43] [SPEAKER_03]: and I'm about to really piss some people
[00:23:45] [SPEAKER_03]: off. This is my favorite Star Wars
[00:23:47] [SPEAKER_03]: This is my favorite one
[00:23:49] [SPEAKER_03]: I had an absolute blast
[00:23:51] [SPEAKER_03]: from start to finish
[00:23:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Sorry haters
[00:23:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Come at me bro
[00:23:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Again, I don't
[00:23:59] [SPEAKER_03]: care. Do you care?
[00:24:01] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm not gonna be like well 5 was
[00:24:03] [SPEAKER_03]: so it was 5
[00:24:04] [SPEAKER_03]: comparatively there are parts of 5
[00:24:07] [SPEAKER_03]: that I found boring. Give me 3
[00:24:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Give me 5
[00:24:10] [SPEAKER_03]: 6
[00:24:13] [SPEAKER_03]: 1, 4, 2
[00:24:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Hey
[00:24:17] [SPEAKER_03]: BrandonDeckTheHomework.com
[00:24:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Mother Gooses
[00:24:21] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't care
[00:24:23] [SPEAKER_00]: We got this great idea
[00:24:25] [SPEAKER_00]: We want you to fight on lava
[00:24:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Bring in the lava
[00:24:31] [SPEAKER_01]: So that take doesn't
[00:24:33] [SPEAKER_01]: surprise me when I was watching this movie
[00:24:35] [SPEAKER_01]: I was like Brandon's gonna have this at 1 because
[00:24:36] [SPEAKER_01]: it's 10 out of 10 laser beams
[00:24:38] [SPEAKER_01]: It's 5 out of 5
[00:24:40] [SPEAKER_01]: cotton candies. It's like whatever the entertainment
[00:24:42] [SPEAKER_01]: is, it's off the charts
[00:24:44] [SPEAKER_01]: It's not just the battle scenes
[00:24:46] [SPEAKER_01]: It's the conversations that I've also found
[00:24:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Dialogue wise it's infinitely better than the last movie
[00:24:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Looking at that, I think
[00:24:51] [SPEAKER_01]: I saw this movie in the theaters
[00:24:54] [SPEAKER_01]: on opening night when midnight shows were still
[00:24:56] [SPEAKER_01]: a thing and
[00:24:58] [SPEAKER_01]: I remember watching this movie and going
[00:25:01] [SPEAKER_01]: well he closed it out as good as he could
[00:25:02] [SPEAKER_01]: have closed it out and then I literally
[00:25:04] [SPEAKER_01]: never watched it again
[00:25:05] [SPEAKER_01]: and the reason I didn't watch it again because I was like
[00:25:08] [SPEAKER_01]: he closed it out as well as he could have
[00:25:09] [SPEAKER_01]: the prequels all got better
[00:25:11] [SPEAKER_01]: this is as good as he could have done considering the circumstances
[00:25:14] [SPEAKER_01]: but anybody that wants to talk anything more about
[00:25:16] [SPEAKER_01]: this movie, pump the brakes. I'm not having
[00:25:18] [SPEAKER_01]: it. I just like we still
[00:25:20] [SPEAKER_01]: have George Lucas
[00:25:22] [SPEAKER_01]: without any restraint and
[00:25:24] [SPEAKER_01]: that's not untrue
[00:25:25] [SPEAKER_01]: He still is completely unrestrained
[00:25:28] [SPEAKER_01]: He's all digital which is a mess
[00:25:30] [SPEAKER_01]: He's got a script
[00:25:32] [SPEAKER_01]: that isn't, I don't know if his script
[00:25:35] [SPEAKER_01]: is better. In fact, I would say if you
[00:25:36] [SPEAKER_01]: read it off the page it wouldn't be but the actors
[00:25:39] [SPEAKER_01]: are starting to realize
[00:25:40] [SPEAKER_01]: hey, it's me on the line out there
[00:25:42] [SPEAKER_01]: It's not Lucas on the line
[00:25:44] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to do what I want with this
[00:25:45] [SPEAKER_01]: and that is we wish on our best day
[00:25:49] [SPEAKER_01]: and I think that
[00:25:50] [SPEAKER_01]: goes a long way. So I had not seen it in almost
[00:25:52] [SPEAKER_01]: 20 years. This movie
[00:25:54] [SPEAKER_01]: rules. This movie is
[00:25:56] [SPEAKER_01]: so, so, so good
[00:26:00] [SPEAKER_00]: I like the moves
[00:26:02] [SPEAKER_06]: It's not as big of a deal
[00:26:03] [SPEAKER_01]: but
[00:26:05] [SPEAKER_01]: It's hard to really encapsulate
[00:26:08] [SPEAKER_01]: how great this movie is
[00:26:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Number one, visually, yes
[00:26:12] [SPEAKER_01]: The reason that
[00:26:13] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to spoil it. I've been waffling
[00:26:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Brian on this or Empire Strikes Back
[00:26:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Really? Whoa
[00:26:19] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't even know who you are anymore
[00:26:21] [SPEAKER_01]: The reason is because
[00:26:23] [SPEAKER_01]: what is Star Wars supposed to be
[00:26:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Empire Strikes Back, I think right now
[00:26:28] [SPEAKER_01]: and this can change week to week, is still number one
[00:26:30] [SPEAKER_01]: because Empire Strikes Back has
[00:26:32] [SPEAKER_01]: nothing wrong. The script is perfect
[00:26:34] [SPEAKER_01]: the direction is perfect, the themes
[00:26:36] [SPEAKER_01]: are perfect, the run time is
[00:26:38] [SPEAKER_01]: two hours, it is super dark
[00:26:40] [SPEAKER_01]: it ends with everything just
[00:26:42] [SPEAKER_01]: completely like you don't know what's
[00:26:44] [SPEAKER_01]: going to happen next. A massive twist
[00:26:46] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a better movie
[00:26:48] [SPEAKER_01]: This movie is, I remember
[00:26:50] [SPEAKER_01]: watching The Dark Knight which is
[00:26:52] [SPEAKER_01]: the best comic book movie of all time
[00:26:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Send any email you want my way, please
[00:26:56] [SPEAKER_01]: That movie just never lets go
[00:26:58] [SPEAKER_01]: You start and it
[00:27:00] [SPEAKER_01]: breaks, it's a breakneck pace
[00:27:01] [SPEAKER_01]: and it never lets go. This movie
[00:27:04] [SPEAKER_01]: starts with killing
[00:27:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Christopher Lee
[00:27:07] [SPEAKER_01]: and it doesn't stop. Now, is there
[00:27:10] [SPEAKER_01]: some dumb dialogue along the way? Yeah, I'll get
[00:27:12] [SPEAKER_01]: to it. Is there some bad CGI
[00:27:14] [SPEAKER_01]: along the way? Yeah, I'll get to it
[00:27:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Is there, is it over
[00:27:18] [SPEAKER_01]: stuffed? Sure, but you know what
[00:27:20] [SPEAKER_01]: bro, this guy built
[00:27:22] [SPEAKER_01]: a story in
[00:27:24] [SPEAKER_01]: 1977 and
[00:27:26] [SPEAKER_01]: he, it's almost like he
[00:27:27] [SPEAKER_01]: realized the first
[00:27:30] [SPEAKER_01]: two movies didn't get me where
[00:27:32] [SPEAKER_01]: I needed to go. I'm going
[00:27:34] [SPEAKER_01]: to absolutely just
[00:27:36] [SPEAKER_01]: hit bangers here
[00:27:37] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't have to worry about exposition
[00:27:40] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't have to worry about midichlorians
[00:27:42] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't have to worry about, you know
[00:27:44] [SPEAKER_01]: all of these trappings that
[00:27:46] [SPEAKER_01]: I had to set up for two movies
[00:27:47] [SPEAKER_01]: and boy does he do it
[00:27:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Palpatine, Ian McDermott is
[00:27:52] [SPEAKER_01]: better than the dialogue. Ian McDermott is
[00:27:54] [SPEAKER_01]: great, I can't imagine
[00:27:56] [SPEAKER_01]: how good he would have been with good dialogue. Ian McDermott
[00:27:58] [SPEAKER_01]: is great in this movie
[00:27:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Mos Wendu, I think, I got conflicting reports
[00:28:02] [SPEAKER_01]: but Google says Mace so you might be right
[00:28:04] [SPEAKER_01]: on that. Mace Wendu
[00:28:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Mace Wendu is
[00:28:08] [SPEAKER_01]: unbelievable. Hayden Christensen
[00:28:10] [SPEAKER_01]: markedly improved
[00:28:11] [SPEAKER_01]: and then also
[00:28:13] [SPEAKER_01]: this movie ends a saga
[00:28:15] [SPEAKER_01]: better than any, like
[00:28:17] [SPEAKER_01]: you get the helmet, Darth Vader, but the
[00:28:20] [SPEAKER_01]: dialogue is not about Darth Vader, it's about
[00:28:21] [SPEAKER_01]: the story of all of it. Then you get
[00:28:23] [SPEAKER_01]: this shot of the sun setting
[00:28:25] [SPEAKER_01]: on Tatooine. It is an absolute
[00:28:28] [SPEAKER_01]: banger start to finish. Dialogue not as
[00:28:29] [SPEAKER_01]: good. George Lucas needed somebody to restrain
[00:28:31] [SPEAKER_01]: him. Absolutely. CGI
[00:28:33] [SPEAKER_01]: it's the best any of the prequels look
[00:28:35] [SPEAKER_01]: by a mile. It looks
[00:28:37] [SPEAKER_01]: there are scenes where I'm like this is
[00:28:39] [SPEAKER_01]: great, it's still great
[00:28:41] [SPEAKER_01]: but there are other scenes where you're like dude you could have done
[00:28:43] [SPEAKER_01]: some practical stuff it wouldn't have killed you
[00:28:46] [SPEAKER_01]: so based on the fact that
[00:28:47] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't have any knocks. Is this
[00:28:49] [SPEAKER_01]: more entertaining than Empire Strikes
[00:28:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Back? Yes.
[00:28:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes. But I don't have anything bad
[00:28:55] [SPEAKER_01]: to say about Empire Strikes Back. It's
[00:28:57] [SPEAKER_01]: maybe the best sequel of all time.
[00:28:59] [SPEAKER_01]: I cannot in good conscience
[00:29:01] [SPEAKER_01]: put this ahead but on an entertainment
[00:29:03] [SPEAKER_01]: value only on a
[00:29:05] [SPEAKER_01]: how many popcorn buckets out of five
[00:29:07] [SPEAKER_01]: this movie does rank higher
[00:29:09] [SPEAKER_01]: on that scale it's number two
[00:29:11] [SPEAKER_01]: overall for me. It's five
[00:29:13] [SPEAKER_01]: and then it's three and then it's six and then
[00:29:15] [SPEAKER_01]: it's four and then it's one then it's two.
[00:29:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Really had a great time
[00:29:19] [SPEAKER_01]: way better than I remember it being. How about that?
[00:29:21] [SPEAKER_00]: How about that?
[00:29:23] [SPEAKER_00]: That's the same scale we'll use for the preview episode
[00:29:25] [SPEAKER_00]: in January so that's gonna be nuts.
[00:29:27] [SPEAKER_01]: The popcorn bucket. It's gonna be nuts.
[00:29:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Lightsaber holsters. Lightsaber
[00:29:31] [SPEAKER_00]: AMC popcorn bucket.
[00:29:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's get to
[00:29:35] [SPEAKER_03]: all of those feels
[00:29:37] [SPEAKER_03]: what gave us the feels.
[00:29:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Ryan. I actually have three I'll go through them quick
[00:29:41] [SPEAKER_00]: C&R 2
[00:29:43] [SPEAKER_00]: kick butt in the beginning was
[00:29:45] [SPEAKER_00]: great and it felt like Dan to your point
[00:29:47] [SPEAKER_00]: not only is it like
[00:29:49] [SPEAKER_00]: go go go from the jump it also
[00:29:51] [SPEAKER_00]: was like R2 kicking butt
[00:29:53] [SPEAKER_00]: it's fun. I wrote down
[00:29:55] [SPEAKER_01]: R2 kicks you know what
[00:29:57] [SPEAKER_01]: in this movie. That's why I wrote it down.
[00:29:59] [SPEAKER_01]: It's unbelievable. It felt like
[00:30:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Star Wars. Nothing
[00:30:03] [SPEAKER_00]: last week felt like
[00:30:05] [SPEAKER_00]: it was just a boring slog and then it was
[00:30:07] [SPEAKER_00]: a bad boring slog.
[00:30:09] [SPEAKER_00]: To that point near the end
[00:30:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Yoda just flicking away
[00:30:13] [SPEAKER_00]: two of Palpatine's guards
[00:30:14] [SPEAKER_00]: I laughed out loud. That was great
[00:30:17] [SPEAKER_00]: but my biggest
[00:30:19] [SPEAKER_00]: feel happens five seconds in
[00:30:21] [SPEAKER_00]: the series is
[00:30:23] [SPEAKER_00]: called Star Wars. The opening
[00:30:25] [SPEAKER_00]: crawl starts with war
[00:30:27] [SPEAKER_00]: exclamation point.
[00:30:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Well done. Thank you.
[00:30:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Throughout this the prequels here
[00:30:35] [SPEAKER_03]: I've been underwhelmed
[00:30:37] [SPEAKER_03]: by the character of Obi-Wan
[00:30:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Kenobi and
[00:30:40] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm like I don't get all the hubbub
[00:30:43] [SPEAKER_03]: about old Ben. I prefer
[00:30:45] [SPEAKER_03]: old Ben over young Ben.
[00:30:47] [SPEAKER_03]: It all
[00:30:49] [SPEAKER_03]: kind of came together though for me
[00:30:51] [SPEAKER_03]: when he walks down the old
[00:30:54] [SPEAKER_03]: walkway there
[00:30:55] [SPEAKER_03]: in lava lands and
[00:30:57] [SPEAKER_03]: they have their conversation
[00:30:59] [SPEAKER_03]: together. I thought
[00:31:01] [SPEAKER_03]: for the first time I was like this
[00:31:02] [SPEAKER_03]: this actually feels right
[00:31:05] [SPEAKER_03]: and it feels real and
[00:31:07] [SPEAKER_03]: up until this point
[00:31:09] [SPEAKER_03]: his character just never
[00:31:11] [SPEAKER_03]: really felt real to me. I was like I understand
[00:31:13] [SPEAKER_03]: that Obi-Wan Kenobi is important
[00:31:15] [SPEAKER_03]: and blah blah blah but it never quite
[00:31:17] [SPEAKER_03]: felt real. In this
[00:31:19] [SPEAKER_03]: particular moment it's still
[00:31:21] [SPEAKER_03]: real to me dang it.
[00:31:22] [SPEAKER_03]: It was a great moment, a great scene
[00:31:25] [SPEAKER_03]: and the most powerful of
[00:31:27] [SPEAKER_03]: the conversations with Obi-Wan
[00:31:29] [SPEAKER_03]: especially in the prequels by a mile.
[00:31:31] [SPEAKER_01]: If you read the dialogue off the page
[00:31:33] [SPEAKER_01]: of that scene it's atrocious.
[00:31:35] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm sure. It's bad. I could buy that.
[00:31:37] [SPEAKER_01]: That was what was shocking to me
[00:31:39] [SPEAKER_01]: as I was watching that scene and I was like
[00:31:40] [SPEAKER_01]: this is really good and then
[00:31:42] [SPEAKER_01]: I went back because I missed something I thought
[00:31:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Obi-Wan said and I'm like
[00:31:46] [SPEAKER_01]: dude if you read this on the page it would be
[00:31:49] [SPEAKER_01]: episode two, episode one bad
[00:31:50] [SPEAKER_01]: but they have just finally
[00:31:53] [SPEAKER_01]: gone you know what
[00:31:54] [SPEAKER_01]: you can't hire me to do another one of these
[00:31:56] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm actually going to lean in and
[00:31:58] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to take direction I'm just going to
[00:32:00] [SPEAKER_01]: do it the way that I'm an actor
[00:32:02] [SPEAKER_01]: I think that makes all the difference in the world
[00:32:04] [SPEAKER_01]: for Ewan McGregor. I do.
[00:32:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Dana? I have two, one is
[00:32:08] [SPEAKER_01]: completely personal I told Brian this story
[00:32:10] [SPEAKER_01]: we at the midnight premiere
[00:32:12] [SPEAKER_01]: of this movie it's all Star Wars
[00:32:14] [SPEAKER_01]: fans I mean they're all
[00:32:16] [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't dress up as you can imagine but
[00:32:18] [SPEAKER_01]: a lot of people did dress up. Had you had this though
[00:32:20] [SPEAKER_01]: had you had this Jedi robe
[00:32:22] [SPEAKER_01]: I would have dressed up for sure
[00:32:24] [SPEAKER_03]: which on camera philo.tv
[00:32:26] [SPEAKER_03]: slash cth looks a whole lot like your
[00:32:28] [SPEAKER_03]: regular black t-shirt. It does look like that
[00:32:29] [SPEAKER_00]: It's not though, he's got wings
[00:32:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Just do the angels in the outfield deal
[00:32:33] [SPEAKER_00]: now they'll know. Maybe you all movie long
[00:32:36] [SPEAKER_03]: just so people know
[00:32:37] [SPEAKER_01]: So I got there it was a midnight
[00:32:39] [SPEAKER_01]: show no assigned seats you gotta get there early
[00:32:41] [SPEAKER_01]: so I got there a couple hours early I got the seat that I wanted
[00:32:43] [SPEAKER_01]: and right before I was there with my
[00:32:45] [SPEAKER_01]: uncle who's like showed me
[00:32:47] [SPEAKER_01]: and my dad I believe
[00:32:49] [SPEAKER_01]: was there like all the people that showed me Star Wars
[00:32:51] [SPEAKER_01]: my whole life it was a really fun time
[00:32:53] [SPEAKER_01]: but I remember right before it started there's a dude
[00:32:55] [SPEAKER_01]: who walked in friend of a friend I knew him
[00:32:57] [SPEAKER_01]: didn't know him super well he was a stand up
[00:32:59] [SPEAKER_01]: comic for a while I went to school with
[00:33:01] [SPEAKER_01]: him but he was older than me he walks in late
[00:33:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Big Ted. Big Ted we'll call him Big Ted
[00:33:05] [SPEAKER_01]: and he had all that's left is the
[00:33:07] [SPEAKER_01]: front row that's all that's left so he sits in the front
[00:33:09] [SPEAKER_01]: row and like
[00:33:11] [SPEAKER_01]: I was like oh there's what's his name
[00:33:13] [SPEAKER_01]: and then I don't even think about him
[00:33:15] [SPEAKER_01]: so in this movie when Chancellor
[00:33:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Palpatine is all
[00:33:19] [SPEAKER_01]: pruned up and then he looks at
[00:33:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Anakin and he's like he'll now be known as
[00:33:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Darth Vader and he says it in the music
[00:33:25] [SPEAKER_01]: like hits the low note and he says
[00:33:27] [SPEAKER_01]: it well I mean it's completely quiet
[00:33:29] [SPEAKER_01]: it's opening night it's all Star Wars fans
[00:33:31] [SPEAKER_01]: he says you'll be known as Darth
[00:33:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Vader and after he says it my boy
[00:33:35] [SPEAKER_01]: in the front row goes no way
[00:33:38] [SPEAKER_01]: really loud. What?
[00:33:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Like as a joke like as a bit
[00:33:41] [SPEAKER_01]: oh okay like you cut the tension
[00:33:43] [SPEAKER_01]: with a knife and front row super
[00:33:45] [SPEAKER_01]: fan go like acts like it's a big
[00:33:47] [SPEAKER_01]: twist. That's funny. And
[00:33:49] [SPEAKER_01]: the theater loved it the theater loved it
[00:33:51] [SPEAKER_01]: I remember it still
[00:33:53] [SPEAKER_01]: that's fake tongue. What a time he's just
[00:33:55] [SPEAKER_01]: like I'm here I'm in the front row I may as
[00:33:57] [SPEAKER_01]: well give this a go and he did it
[00:33:59] [SPEAKER_01]: the second one is
[00:34:02] [SPEAKER_01]: undersold in your synopsis
[00:34:03] [SPEAKER_01]: and when I say undersold I'm not complaining because you had
[00:34:05] [SPEAKER_01]: to do it the way you did it but is the fight
[00:34:07] [SPEAKER_01]: between Palpatine and Yoda
[00:34:09] [SPEAKER_01]: and the reason it's undersold is because
[00:34:12] [SPEAKER_01]: slowly but surely
[00:34:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Williams brings back
[00:34:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Duel of the Fates
[00:34:17] [SPEAKER_01]: and when he does it it's
[00:34:19] [SPEAKER_01]: the quietest ha ha and
[00:34:21] [SPEAKER_01]: when he does it
[00:34:23] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm talking
[00:34:26] [SPEAKER_01]: full chills
[00:34:27] [SPEAKER_01]: because what you've done is
[00:34:29] [SPEAKER_01]: in the first one it's like
[00:34:31] [SPEAKER_01]: this is the dark side versus the light
[00:34:33] [SPEAKER_01]: side. It's good guys Qui-Gon and
[00:34:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Obi-Wan bad guys and the second
[00:34:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Duel of the Fates is the duel of Anakin
[00:34:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Skywalker's fate and it
[00:34:41] [SPEAKER_01]: is like holy cow
[00:34:43] [SPEAKER_01]: this is better than this
[00:34:45] [SPEAKER_01]: movie ever should be when
[00:34:47] [SPEAKER_01]: that score hits and they're battling in
[00:34:49] [SPEAKER_01]: the senate and we're cutting back to lava
[00:34:51] [SPEAKER_01]: back to senate it is like
[00:34:54] [SPEAKER_01]: I was blown
[00:34:55] [SPEAKER_01]: away by how much more I
[00:34:57] [SPEAKER_01]: enjoyed it than when I saw it the first time just
[00:34:59] [SPEAKER_01]: crushed it.
[00:35:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's take a break. We'll come back
[00:35:03] [SPEAKER_03]: we'll get to the what? The Hallmark? Here on
[00:35:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Deck the Hallmark
[00:35:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Bum bum
[00:35:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Welcome back
[00:35:16] [SPEAKER_01]: everybody. Man two of those
[00:35:18] [SPEAKER_01]: in an episode huh?
[00:35:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Where the pans
[00:35:21] [SPEAKER_03]: of the podcast
[00:35:24] [SPEAKER_03]: You got it.
[00:35:25] [SPEAKER_03]: That's what we're talking about
[00:35:27] [SPEAKER_03]: What is this movie? Wait what?
[00:35:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Ryan? Yeah I got
[00:35:31] [SPEAKER_00]: several I'll try to go through them quick
[00:35:33] [SPEAKER_00]: They're the Jedi Council
[00:35:35] [SPEAKER_00]: at one point about midway through the film
[00:35:37] [SPEAKER_00]: they're debating everything in general
[00:35:39] [SPEAKER_00]: and they bring up the prophecy
[00:35:41] [SPEAKER_00]: about Anakin
[00:35:43] [SPEAKER_00]: because they're all starting to doubt him just a little bit
[00:35:46] [SPEAKER_00]: and I don't know if it's Mace
[00:35:47] [SPEAKER_00]: or Obi-Wan they're like
[00:35:49] [SPEAKER_00]: well he's the chosen one we can't
[00:35:51] [SPEAKER_00]: doubt him and then Yoda's just like
[00:35:53] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know maybe I misread
[00:35:55] [SPEAKER_00]: that prophecy
[00:35:58] [SPEAKER_00]: You bring that up now?
[00:36:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah turns out
[00:36:02] [SPEAKER_01]: to be fair Yoda said
[00:36:05] [SPEAKER_01]: don't do it in episode one
[00:36:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah no Yoda's been right about everything
[00:36:08] [SPEAKER_00]: it's just like I don't know man put on your reading
[00:36:10] [SPEAKER_00]: glasses or something or just let us know that maybe
[00:36:12] [SPEAKER_01]: you skimmed it. I may have goofed
[00:36:14] [SPEAKER_01]: It was a goof
[00:36:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh it's on me. I goofed
[00:36:17] [SPEAKER_00]: It's a Yoda goof
[00:36:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Palpatine
[00:36:21] [SPEAKER_00]: he kills Mace Windu
[00:36:23] [SPEAKER_00]: at least finally somebody losing an arm was consequential
[00:36:26] [SPEAKER_00]: and leads to Mace Windu's death
[00:36:28] [SPEAKER_00]: but you know before that
[00:36:29] [SPEAKER_01]: T'Challa Dooku loses both his arms and dies
[00:36:31] [SPEAKER_01]: so twice in the movie
[00:36:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe he was just like oh man this should be a bigger plot point
[00:36:35] [SPEAKER_00]: like you know so
[00:36:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Can't keep handing out arms and hands
[00:36:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Also when you cut it with a lightsaber there's such a high
[00:36:41] [SPEAKER_01]: burn there that it just immediately cauterizes
[00:36:43] [SPEAKER_01]: the wound so you can just keep rolling
[00:36:45] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean that's how that science works
[00:36:47] [SPEAKER_00]: standing over that
[00:36:49] [SPEAKER_00]: before all that he gets all
[00:36:51] [SPEAKER_00]: ugly like you know you make his face look the way
[00:36:53] [SPEAKER_00]: he looks now
[00:36:54] [SPEAKER_00]: but like he looks like the villain from Halloween Town
[00:36:57] [SPEAKER_00]: and he doesn't care at all
[00:36:59] [SPEAKER_00]: he's just like I got a name
[00:37:01] [SPEAKER_00]: for you man Darth Vader
[00:37:03] [SPEAKER_00]: but so good on him man
[00:37:05] [SPEAKER_00]: he's resilient. Padme
[00:37:07] [SPEAKER_00]: now this is one of the two tell me if I am
[00:37:10] [SPEAKER_00]: misinterpreting this
[00:37:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Padme refuses to believe
[00:37:13] [SPEAKER_00]: that Anakin could
[00:37:14] [SPEAKER_00]: kill a bunch of younglings
[00:37:16] [SPEAKER_00]: even though and again I was mad last week
[00:37:19] [SPEAKER_00]: doesn't he kill a bunch of younglings
[00:37:21] [SPEAKER_00]: in episode 2 when she marries him?
[00:37:22] [SPEAKER_01]: He kills a bunch of people that took
[00:37:24] [SPEAKER_01]: that whole group of people took his mom
[00:37:26] [SPEAKER_01]: and so I know it's weird
[00:37:28] [SPEAKER_01]: but a youngling might have slipped in there
[00:37:31] [SPEAKER_01]: but he this is all young
[00:37:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Jedi's that Jedi's in training
[00:37:34] [SPEAKER_01]: I think that is the part she's like
[00:37:36] [SPEAKER_01]: there's no way he would do that
[00:37:38] [SPEAKER_01]: that is where I
[00:37:40] [SPEAKER_01]: can at least see it but your point
[00:37:42] [SPEAKER_01]: is not like it still
[00:37:43] [SPEAKER_01]: stands. Fair fair fair
[00:37:45] [SPEAKER_00]: maybe the funniest moment of the film
[00:37:48] [SPEAKER_00]: is right around
[00:37:50] [SPEAKER_00]: that same time
[00:37:52] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't remember the exact
[00:37:53] [SPEAKER_00]: deal but Ben
[00:37:56] [SPEAKER_00]: finds out that Padme's
[00:37:58] [SPEAKER_00]: pregnant and he's like
[00:37:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Anakin is the father isn't he?
[00:38:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Well who else would the father have been Ben?
[00:38:04] [SPEAKER_01]: I know it's a secret relationship
[00:38:05] [SPEAKER_01]: It'd be better you got the force man
[00:38:09] [SPEAKER_00]: So the reason why I think that maybe
[00:38:11] [SPEAKER_00]: especially if you're like all three of us
[00:38:13] [SPEAKER_00]: who haven't seen this in a long time
[00:38:15] [SPEAKER_00]: that people just kind of lump this in with
[00:38:17] [SPEAKER_00]: episode 1 and 2 and just assume that it was bad
[00:38:19] [SPEAKER_00]: the high ground was worse than I remembered
[00:38:21] [SPEAKER_00]: it. Like Anakin could have just taken
[00:38:23] [SPEAKER_00]: a big step and gotten onto the high ground
[00:38:25] [SPEAKER_01]: The high ground was really bad
[00:38:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah and it doesn't make sense in its own right
[00:38:29] [SPEAKER_00]: but at least in my head
[00:38:31] [SPEAKER_00]: not that this would make sense still but like
[00:38:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Obi-Wan's like way way high up
[00:38:35] [SPEAKER_00]: and that's what it works
[00:38:36] [SPEAKER_00]: it doesn't work on either level. The movie's a visual
[00:38:39] [SPEAKER_01]: feast and I think
[00:38:41] [SPEAKER_01]: he gets
[00:38:43] [SPEAKER_01]: you know the script is such an afterthought
[00:38:45] [SPEAKER_01]: to George Lucas. Like it literally
[00:38:47] [SPEAKER_01]: just probably says and they fight for pages
[00:38:49] [SPEAKER_01]: and then he lets a choreographer figure it out
[00:38:51] [SPEAKER_01]: but it's clear he
[00:38:53] [SPEAKER_01]: wants to have a metaphor there
[00:38:55] [SPEAKER_01]: of Obi-Wan actually having
[00:38:57] [SPEAKER_01]: the higher ground and then the hubris
[00:38:59] [SPEAKER_01]: of Anakin finally taking
[00:39:01] [SPEAKER_01]: over. Great George
[00:39:03] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm happy you landed on that obvious metaphor
[00:39:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Make it real higher ground
[00:39:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Take me to higher ground
[00:39:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Take me to higher ground
[00:39:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Like it doesn't
[00:39:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Dude do the stuff, do the thing
[00:39:14] [SPEAKER_01]: You're there, you got unlimited budget, you may as well do it right
[00:39:17] [SPEAKER_00]: if you're going to do it. Teachers keep on
[00:39:19] [SPEAKER_00]: teaching absolutely
[00:39:21] [SPEAKER_00]: So that doesn't work and then
[00:39:23] [SPEAKER_00]: yeah listen, it was amazing to hear James Earl
[00:39:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Jones back. The no is
[00:39:27] [SPEAKER_00]: awful right? No is real bad
[00:39:29] [SPEAKER_00]: It's funny now
[00:39:30] [SPEAKER_00]: but I do think that why 20 years
[00:39:33] [SPEAKER_00]: later people just in their heads go
[00:39:35] [SPEAKER_00]: oh that movie stunk too. It's because the first
[00:39:37] [SPEAKER_00]: thing you think of is no
[00:39:39] [SPEAKER_00]: and then last one
[00:39:41] [SPEAKER_00]: and again this might just be being
[00:39:43] [SPEAKER_00]: uninformed, not paying attention the way I
[00:39:45] [SPEAKER_00]: should. Yoda tells Ben
[00:39:47] [SPEAKER_00]: that he's going to help him, I think I got this
[00:39:49] [SPEAKER_00]: that he's going to help him commune with Qui-Gon
[00:39:51] [SPEAKER_00]: and then that's never come up since
[00:39:53] [SPEAKER_01]: in 20 years am I right? We do
[00:39:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Qui-Gon doesn't
[00:39:57] [SPEAKER_01]: I googled it
[00:39:58] [SPEAKER_01]: What is he talking about?
[00:40:01] [SPEAKER_01]: I think what he's
[00:40:03] [SPEAKER_01]: foreshadowing there is
[00:40:04] [SPEAKER_01]: we heard from Jessica
[00:40:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Double Decker Jessica when she was talking about
[00:40:09] [SPEAKER_01]: the Star Wars movies and
[00:40:11] [SPEAKER_01]: how for Gen Xers
[00:40:12] [SPEAKER_01]: who watch these movies, the
[00:40:14] [SPEAKER_01]: thrill of the prequels was like look at all these Jedi
[00:40:17] [SPEAKER_01]: because you're taught in the first three that there's
[00:40:19] [SPEAKER_01]: no Jedi left, like there's literally none left
[00:40:21] [SPEAKER_01]: and so the idea that you can see
[00:40:23] [SPEAKER_01]: force ghosts or Jedi ghosts or
[00:40:24] [SPEAKER_01]: whatever is just all they have left
[00:40:26] [SPEAKER_01]: it's just common parlance in the
[00:40:28] [SPEAKER_01]: first three. In the prequels
[00:40:31] [SPEAKER_01]: you don't see them
[00:40:32] [SPEAKER_01]: that's what he's talking about
[00:40:34] [SPEAKER_01]: he's talking about the force
[00:40:36] [SPEAKER_01]: the ghost Jedi's that you see at the end of
[00:40:38] [SPEAKER_01]: those other movies, that you see Obi-Wan
[00:40:40] [SPEAKER_01]: in Empire Strikes Back, you see those
[00:40:42] [SPEAKER_01]: guys, that's what he's talking about there
[00:40:44] [SPEAKER_00]: That tracks I rescind that wait what?
[00:40:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Bran, kick it to you
[00:40:49] [SPEAKER_03]: We talked about how great
[00:40:50] [SPEAKER_03]: R2 is at the beginning of this movie
[00:40:52] [SPEAKER_03]: but boy, Obi-Wan
[00:40:54] [SPEAKER_03]: give him a chance to respond
[00:40:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Obi-Wan's over there like R2 we need it
[00:40:58] [SPEAKER_03]: R2 where you at? R2 bring it up
[00:41:00] [SPEAKER_03]: R2, like just let your hand
[00:41:02] [SPEAKER_03]: off the trigger, let him respond
[00:41:04] [SPEAKER_03]: you gotta give
[00:41:05] [SPEAKER_03]: the kid a chance is all I'm saying
[00:41:08] [SPEAKER_03]: I just, my biggest
[00:41:10] [SPEAKER_03]: takeaway here is how does Obi-Wan
[00:41:12] [SPEAKER_03]: not see that his boy Anakin
[00:41:14] [SPEAKER_03]: is driving the struggle bus
[00:41:16] [SPEAKER_03]: it's pretty clear that Anakin is beginning
[00:41:18] [SPEAKER_03]: to have serious doubts and serious
[00:41:20] [SPEAKER_03]: problems with the Jedi Council
[00:41:22] [SPEAKER_03]: and Anakin's just kinda like you'll figure it out
[00:41:24] [SPEAKER_03]: and it's just like
[00:41:26] [SPEAKER_01]: just check on your bro
[00:41:27] [SPEAKER_01]: What I said is Obi-Wan at one point they're sending Anakin
[00:41:30] [SPEAKER_01]: to do some mission and Obi-Wan says
[00:41:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Anakin won't let me down
[00:41:34] [SPEAKER_01]: he never has and I was like has he not
[00:41:36] [SPEAKER_01]: watched the last two and a half movies
[00:41:38] [SPEAKER_01]: like watch a movie where Anakin after winning
[00:41:40] [SPEAKER_01]: a pod race is a series of
[00:41:42] [SPEAKER_01]: disappointments like over and
[00:41:44] [SPEAKER_01]: over again, what do you mean he hasn't let
[00:41:46] [SPEAKER_01]: you down? Are you kidding me right now?
[00:41:49] [SPEAKER_01]: It's working!
[00:41:50] [SPEAKER_01]: It's working!
[00:41:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Listen, when they go to
[00:41:56] [SPEAKER_03]: save the Chancellor if there was ever
[00:41:58] [SPEAKER_03]: any doubt that he was a bad guy
[00:42:00] [SPEAKER_03]: that chair is a dead giveaway
[00:42:02] [SPEAKER_03]: that's a bad guy chair
[00:42:03] [SPEAKER_03]: good guys don't have that chair
[00:42:05] [SPEAKER_03]: that's a bad guy chair
[00:42:07] [SPEAKER_03]: what's Padme up to? All movie
[00:42:10] [SPEAKER_03]: every time they go to check on her
[00:42:12] [SPEAKER_03]: she's just on the couch just being like
[00:42:13] [SPEAKER_02]: I wonder what's going on with Andy
[00:42:15] [SPEAKER_03]: I understand
[00:42:17] [SPEAKER_01]: but she does nothing
[00:42:19] [SPEAKER_01]: pregnant women are incapable of doing anything
[00:42:21] [SPEAKER_03]: apparently
[00:42:21] [SPEAKER_03]: this woman who's been incredible
[00:42:25] [SPEAKER_03]: in episodes 1 and 2
[00:42:27] [SPEAKER_01]: she's reminiscing about her time being a model UN
[00:42:29] [SPEAKER_03]: episode 3 she's reminiscing
[00:42:31] [SPEAKER_01]: about the days at the beach house
[00:42:33] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what she's doing
[00:42:34] [SPEAKER_01]: going down the Johnny Rockets
[00:42:37] [SPEAKER_01]: she is on
[00:42:38] [SPEAKER_01]: or around the couch
[00:42:41] [SPEAKER_01]: all movie
[00:42:42] [SPEAKER_01]: classic George Lucas here
[00:42:43] [SPEAKER_00]: she's just staring into CGI space
[00:42:46] [SPEAKER_01]: incredibly powerful women
[00:42:48] [SPEAKER_01]: she's got to be near a couch
[00:42:50] [SPEAKER_01]: she's got to be near a couch
[00:42:51] [SPEAKER_01]: there's nothing we can do
[00:42:52] [SPEAKER_03]: last week
[00:42:56] [SPEAKER_03]: talked about how
[00:42:58] [SPEAKER_03]: CGI Yoda
[00:43:00] [SPEAKER_03]: with the battle
[00:43:01] [SPEAKER_03]: it made sense
[00:43:03] [SPEAKER_03]: I was more frustrated
[00:43:05] [SPEAKER_03]: this time because the amount of
[00:43:07] [SPEAKER_03]: close up conversations we have
[00:43:10] [SPEAKER_03]: with Yoda in episode 3
[00:43:12] [SPEAKER_03]: is way up compared to
[00:43:14] [SPEAKER_03]: 2 and 1
[00:43:16] [SPEAKER_03]: when he's talking
[00:43:18] [SPEAKER_03]: use the puppet
[00:43:19] [SPEAKER_03]: use practical Yoda for dialogue
[00:43:22] [SPEAKER_03]: scenes, use CGI Yoda
[00:43:25] [SPEAKER_03]: it's so much better
[00:43:28] [SPEAKER_01]: practical Yoda is so much better
[00:43:30] [SPEAKER_01]: practical Yoda is the best Yoda
[00:43:31] [SPEAKER_01]: he is and it's Frank Oz and it's puppets
[00:43:33] [SPEAKER_01]: it makes sense I guess I just have the
[00:43:36] [SPEAKER_01]: opposite I'm a glass half full guy on that
[00:43:38] [SPEAKER_01]: look at how much better
[00:43:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Yoda looks in Revenge of the Sith
[00:43:41] [SPEAKER_01]: than he did in Phantom Menace
[00:43:44] [SPEAKER_01]: in Phantom Menace
[00:43:45] [SPEAKER_01]: you could punch straight through him
[00:43:48] [SPEAKER_01]: in Revenge of the Sith
[00:43:49] [SPEAKER_01]: he's got very defined wrinkles
[00:43:52] [SPEAKER_01]: and detail
[00:43:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Lucas is really trying to maximize this
[00:43:55] [SPEAKER_01]: would I rather have puppet Yoda
[00:43:57] [SPEAKER_01]: I would rather have puppet Yoda
[00:43:58] [SPEAKER_01]: if Lucas is like I want to make a 100%
[00:44:02] [SPEAKER_01]: digital movie
[00:44:02] [SPEAKER_01]: at least it's getting better
[00:44:04] [SPEAKER_03]: imagine puppet Yoda
[00:44:07] [SPEAKER_03]: saying he might have goofed
[00:44:08] [SPEAKER_03]: that would have been so powerful
[00:44:11] [SPEAKER_03]: again
[00:44:12] [SPEAKER_03]: I guess it's a continuation
[00:44:14] [SPEAKER_03]: of hey Obi Wan check on your boy
[00:44:16] [SPEAKER_03]: but the Jedi
[00:44:18] [SPEAKER_03]: crapped the bed with Anakin Skywalker
[00:44:20] [SPEAKER_03]: they didn't do right by him
[00:44:23] [SPEAKER_03]: you have this young Jedi
[00:44:25] [SPEAKER_03]: who is
[00:44:26] [SPEAKER_03]: the force is strong with this one
[00:44:30] [SPEAKER_03]: let's do a better job
[00:44:32] [SPEAKER_03]: of helping him just feel included
[00:44:34] [SPEAKER_03]: you guys
[00:44:35] [SPEAKER_03]: old guys are all like
[00:44:37] [SPEAKER_03]: he's not ready he's too young
[00:44:39] [SPEAKER_03]: no wonder he turned on you
[00:44:41] [SPEAKER_03]: he didn't feel appreciated he didn't feel included
[00:44:43] [SPEAKER_03]: no freaking wonder you have no one to
[00:44:46] [SPEAKER_03]: blame but yourselves
[00:44:47] [SPEAKER_01]: you think if they included him as a master he doesn't turn to the dark side
[00:44:50] [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's possible
[00:44:51] [SPEAKER_01]: it's literally called duel of the fates
[00:44:52] [SPEAKER_03]: I understand what the song is called
[00:44:56] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm just saying let's run it back
[00:44:58] [SPEAKER_03]: let's let the guy
[00:45:00] [SPEAKER_03]: who's force is strong with him
[00:45:02] [SPEAKER_03]: let's include him in things
[00:45:04] [SPEAKER_00]: let's make him a master
[00:45:06] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't mind them including him more
[00:45:08] [SPEAKER_01]: they definitely ostracize him there's no doubt about it
[00:45:10] [SPEAKER_03]: and my last one
[00:45:12] [SPEAKER_03]: it made me literally laugh
[00:45:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Obi Wan I believe it's
[00:45:17] [SPEAKER_03]: when he's trying to get
[00:45:18] [SPEAKER_03]: away from the clones
[00:45:20] [SPEAKER_03]: there's a door at some point
[00:45:22] [SPEAKER_03]: and he punches in the code
[00:45:24] [SPEAKER_03]: and the door opens he goes inside
[00:45:26] [SPEAKER_03]: and then he uses the force to close the automatic
[00:45:28] [SPEAKER_03]: door
[00:45:31] [SPEAKER_01]: selective use of force
[00:45:32] [SPEAKER_01]: is a crime
[00:45:32] [SPEAKER_01]: that is egregious
[00:45:34] [SPEAKER_01]: could I open the door with the force yes but I will use the code
[00:45:37] [SPEAKER_03]: but get out of here
[00:45:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Dano
[00:45:40] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't even think he used the force there I think he was doing a bit
[00:45:42] [SPEAKER_01]: the door closes automatically
[00:45:44] [SPEAKER_03]: people thought I used it I didn't
[00:45:46] [SPEAKER_03]: it's like everybody when they walk into grocery stores
[00:45:49] [SPEAKER_03]: and when you're walking up to the automatic doors
[00:45:50] [SPEAKER_03]: you go ha that's it
[00:45:52] [SPEAKER_03]: he's just doing a bit
[00:45:53] [SPEAKER_01]: has my son been doing that
[00:45:55] [SPEAKER_01]: like yeah the pool is
[00:45:57] [SPEAKER_01]: like the jets are bringing him this ball
[00:45:59] [SPEAKER_01]: that's floating on the pool and he's like dad I'm using the force
[00:46:00] [SPEAKER_01]: every time
[00:46:02] [SPEAKER_01]: I wish every
[00:46:04] [SPEAKER_01]: I wish every meeting I was in
[00:46:07] [SPEAKER_01]: ended as quickly as the Jedi Council meetings
[00:46:09] [SPEAKER_01]: they
[00:46:10] [SPEAKER_01]: have never more than one thing on the agenda
[00:46:13] [SPEAKER_01]: and as soon as they decide
[00:46:15] [SPEAKER_01]: by popular vote they shut it down
[00:46:17] [SPEAKER_01]: and I love it
[00:46:18] [SPEAKER_01]: so he won't be master great we'll see you guys
[00:46:21] [SPEAKER_01]: next week even on the zoom ones
[00:46:23] [SPEAKER_01]: where they're zooming they got all of them digital
[00:46:24] [SPEAKER_01]: it's like do we do this yet
[00:46:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Palpatine's up to something
[00:46:27] [SPEAKER_01]: send Anakin out
[00:46:30] [SPEAKER_01]: these three minute micro meetings that's my life
[00:46:32] [SPEAKER_01]: that's all I want in life is to not be
[00:46:34] [SPEAKER_01]: in a long meeting where we're doing
[00:46:36] [SPEAKER_01]: other things I think it
[00:46:38] [SPEAKER_01]: you know I feel really
[00:46:40] [SPEAKER_01]: good about that early in the movie
[00:46:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Anakin and Obi-Wan
[00:46:45] [SPEAKER_01]: are on a ship that is
[00:46:46] [SPEAKER_01]: going down the ships going down
[00:46:49] [SPEAKER_01]: and Anakin is going to try to
[00:46:50] [SPEAKER_01]: crash land it into a planet
[00:46:52] [SPEAKER_01]: they're going through the atmosphere
[00:46:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Obi-Wan looks at him who is notoriously
[00:46:57] [SPEAKER_01]: not a pilot
[00:46:58] [SPEAKER_01]: looks at him and says do you know how to
[00:47:00] [SPEAKER_01]: fly this thing and Anakin says
[00:47:02] [SPEAKER_01]: under the circumstances I'd say the
[00:47:04] [SPEAKER_01]: ability to pilot this thing is irrelevant
[00:47:06] [SPEAKER_01]: no it is
[00:47:08] [SPEAKER_01]: not after he says
[00:47:10] [SPEAKER_01]: it's irrelevant if I can fly
[00:47:12] [SPEAKER_01]: this thing he then shouts out
[00:47:14] [SPEAKER_01]: five different specific
[00:47:17] [SPEAKER_01]: pilot instructions
[00:47:18] [SPEAKER_01]: to prep this thing
[00:47:20] [SPEAKER_01]: for a crash landing if it's
[00:47:22] [SPEAKER_01]: me or Ryguy or
[00:47:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Bran we're tumbling
[00:47:26] [SPEAKER_01]: and then we're burning up
[00:47:28] [SPEAKER_01]: in a pile of smoke
[00:47:30] [SPEAKER_01]: ask Sully
[00:47:32] [SPEAKER_01]: ask Sully if it matters
[00:47:34] [SPEAKER_01]: if you can pilot when the
[00:47:36] [SPEAKER_01]: engine stop working
[00:47:38] [SPEAKER_01]: buddy you can't be like ah it's
[00:47:40] [SPEAKER_01]: irrelevant hey can you hit the main thruster
[00:47:42] [SPEAKER_01]: the gear over here we're going to flip this thing
[00:47:44] [SPEAKER_01]: down it still matters bro
[00:47:46] [SPEAKER_01]: that's on George Lucas but I'm still
[00:47:48] [SPEAKER_01]: blaming him it is what it is
[00:47:50] [SPEAKER_01]: has there this is maybe
[00:47:52] [SPEAKER_01]: just a question has there ever been anyone
[00:47:54] [SPEAKER_01]: later to the apprenticeship
[00:47:56] [SPEAKER_01]: for the dark side game than
[00:47:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Count Dooku
[00:48:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Count Dooku is an apprentice
[00:48:02] [SPEAKER_01]: to be a Sith Lord
[00:48:04] [SPEAKER_01]: he's 82 years old
[00:48:05] [SPEAKER_01]: that is not
[00:48:08] [SPEAKER_01]: I've been giving this some thought
[00:48:11] [SPEAKER_01]: I think I might
[00:48:12] [SPEAKER_01]: take up as a hobby
[00:48:13] [SPEAKER_01]: I think I want to take up woodworking
[00:48:14] [SPEAKER_01]: what do you think I think I want to be a barber
[00:48:17] [SPEAKER_01]: like it's your
[00:48:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Christopher Lee is 82 years old
[00:48:21] [SPEAKER_01]: he's not the Sith Lord
[00:48:23] [SPEAKER_01]: he is an apprentice
[00:48:24] [SPEAKER_01]: because that's how that works
[00:48:27] [SPEAKER_01]: it's going to be like can I be a Sith Lord
[00:48:28] [SPEAKER_01]: he's like well you got 6 hours of training left
[00:48:31] [SPEAKER_01]: beep you're dead
[00:48:33] [SPEAKER_01]: there's nothing you can do about it
[00:48:34] [SPEAKER_01]: he's the oldest apprentice ever
[00:48:36] [SPEAKER_01]: that was a tough part
[00:48:38] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm an intern
[00:48:39] [SPEAKER_01]: can I tell you
[00:48:41] [SPEAKER_01]: the dumbest sentence in the history of sentences
[00:48:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Padme
[00:48:45] [SPEAKER_01]: is going to go find
[00:48:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Anakin on Mount Doom
[00:48:51] [SPEAKER_01]: sorry Lord of the Rings fans or whomever that is
[00:48:53] [SPEAKER_01]: from she's like I'm going to go fly
[00:48:55] [SPEAKER_01]: my pregnant self to Mount Doom
[00:48:56] [SPEAKER_01]: and Obi-Wan's like
[00:48:58] [SPEAKER_01]: you just don't don't
[00:49:01] [SPEAKER_01]: please don't go and she looks at him
[00:49:03] [SPEAKER_01]: dead serious like it's not
[00:49:05] [SPEAKER_01]: improv and goes
[00:49:06] [SPEAKER_01]: C-3PO is going to
[00:49:08] [SPEAKER_01]: take care of me
[00:49:10] [SPEAKER_01]: what who
[00:49:11] [SPEAKER_01]: the guy that's always dismembered by the end of the movie
[00:49:15] [SPEAKER_01]: who's just being like
[00:49:16] [SPEAKER_01]: bye Joe they've done it again
[00:49:17] [SPEAKER_01]: that guy is going to
[00:49:19] [SPEAKER_01]: there's lava involved
[00:49:21] [SPEAKER_01]: C-3PO could get you out of a translation jam
[00:49:24] [SPEAKER_01]: that's about it she's like
[00:49:25] [SPEAKER_01]: listen don't worry about me
[00:49:27] [SPEAKER_01]: C-3PO's got me no he doesn't
[00:49:29] [SPEAKER_01]: he's nowhere to be found
[00:49:30] [SPEAKER_01]: she gets there you can't find him
[00:49:33] [SPEAKER_01]: can't find him
[00:49:34] [SPEAKER_01]: nothing you can do and then also
[00:49:38] [SPEAKER_01]: something happened with the
[00:49:39] [SPEAKER_01]: contractors on the Death Star because
[00:49:41] [SPEAKER_01]: it is taken a lot
[00:49:43] [SPEAKER_01]: like it takes a very short amount
[00:49:45] [SPEAKER_01]: of time to go from we have
[00:49:47] [SPEAKER_01]: these plans in episode 2
[00:49:49] [SPEAKER_01]: to we have the framework of
[00:49:51] [SPEAKER_01]: the Death Star it's built
[00:49:52] [SPEAKER_01]: and then Luke Skywalker is
[00:49:55] [SPEAKER_01]: how old in New Hope
[00:49:58] [SPEAKER_01]: 17 16
[00:50:00] [SPEAKER_01]: the Death Star
[00:50:01] [SPEAKER_01]: is completed why did it
[00:50:03] [SPEAKER_01]: take no time at all to get
[00:50:05] [SPEAKER_01]: it put up in the sky
[00:50:07] [SPEAKER_01]: which I would assume is the hardest part
[00:50:09] [SPEAKER_01]: and then so long
[00:50:10] [SPEAKER_01]: to complete it and make it fully operational
[00:50:13] [SPEAKER_01]: don't know that one that's the way it went for me
[00:50:16] [SPEAKER_03]: it's time for Star Wars
[00:50:18] [SPEAKER_03]: when we talk about things
[00:50:19] [SPEAKER_03]: whether or not they're stars or wars
[00:50:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Ryan
[00:50:22] [SPEAKER_00]: that was a good lead in Brant because I feel like this one could fall
[00:50:25] [SPEAKER_00]: under either star or wars
[00:50:27] [SPEAKER_00]: it really can
[00:50:28] [SPEAKER_00]: yeah there's
[00:50:29] [SPEAKER_00]: a few what ifs that have come out
[00:50:32] [SPEAKER_00]: about this film I think they're all
[00:50:34] [SPEAKER_00]: substantiated to some degree
[00:50:36] [SPEAKER_00]: the biggest one is that Jar Jar
[00:50:38] [SPEAKER_00]: was going to be a Sith Lord
[00:50:40] [SPEAKER_01]: if he would have been it would have been great
[00:50:42] [SPEAKER_01]: yeah
[00:50:42] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if it would have worked
[00:50:45] [SPEAKER_01]: but thinking about it is fun
[00:50:47] [SPEAKER_00]: yeah 100% and then the other big one
[00:50:50] [SPEAKER_00]: is that I don't know if it was a draft or
[00:50:51] [SPEAKER_00]: just ideas that didn't quite make the page
[00:50:54] [SPEAKER_00]: or if there was and then they just
[00:50:56] [SPEAKER_00]: changed course but there are
[00:50:58] [SPEAKER_00]: versions of this film where Padme has a lot more
[00:51:00] [SPEAKER_00]: agency does not die of
[00:51:02] [SPEAKER_00]: a broken heart there's one report
[00:51:04] [SPEAKER_00]: where she tries to kill Anakin
[00:51:06] [SPEAKER_00]: and that would have made this film
[00:51:08] [SPEAKER_00]: that we all really really really like
[00:51:10] [SPEAKER_00]: a whole lot better because Brant as you
[00:51:12] [SPEAKER_00]: just said Dan you touched on it too
[00:51:13] [SPEAKER_00]: and I said it in my hot take they just totally
[00:51:16] [SPEAKER_00]: whiffed on her here
[00:51:17] [SPEAKER_00]: it's not even like the material for Natalie Portman
[00:51:20] [SPEAKER_00]: wasn't good she rises above the material
[00:51:22] [SPEAKER_00]: more often than not in these films it's just like
[00:51:23] [SPEAKER_00]: they didn't give her anything to work with
[00:51:25] [SPEAKER_00]: and it's a real miss for the character
[00:51:28] [SPEAKER_00]: there have been very very
[00:51:29] [SPEAKER_00]: unsubstantiated reports that
[00:51:31] [SPEAKER_00]: there might be a Disney Plus thing
[00:51:33] [SPEAKER_00]: in Padme's future I don't know maybe I started that rumor
[00:51:35] [SPEAKER_00]: who knows
[00:51:38] [SPEAKER_00]: let's do it give her a lightsaber
[00:51:40] [SPEAKER_00]: let's save the Republic
[00:51:41] [SPEAKER_00]: she's force sensitive let's do the whole thing
[00:51:43] [SPEAKER_00]: but they should have done Padme better in episode 3
[00:51:45] [SPEAKER_03]: I 100% agree and that leads me to my
[00:51:47] [SPEAKER_03]: wars I think there was shady doings
[00:51:50] [SPEAKER_03]: in the case of Padme
[00:51:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Dr. Robot
[00:51:54] [SPEAKER_03]: comes out and says
[00:51:56] [SPEAKER_03]: there's nothing medically wrong with her
[00:51:58] [SPEAKER_03]: she just lost a will to live
[00:51:59] [SPEAKER_03]: that doesn't like you don't just die
[00:52:02] [SPEAKER_03]: the love of her life went dark
[00:52:04] [SPEAKER_03]: I just some shady
[00:52:06] [SPEAKER_03]: going on there I think there's something shady
[00:52:08] [SPEAKER_03]: going on there somebody wants her dead
[00:52:11] [SPEAKER_03]: I tend
[00:52:12] [SPEAKER_03]: to believe that
[00:52:14] [SPEAKER_03]: had she maybe
[00:52:15] [SPEAKER_03]: had some better care she'd still
[00:52:18] [SPEAKER_01]: be with us today well I wish at some point they'd have written
[00:52:20] [SPEAKER_01]: in the expanded universe that she wasn't
[00:52:22] [SPEAKER_01]: really dead and then that way when
[00:52:23] [SPEAKER_01]: she could have been in the new 3 which would have been
[00:52:26] [SPEAKER_03]: a lot of fun it would have been great
[00:52:27] [SPEAKER_03]: because you that's just like
[00:52:29] [SPEAKER_03]: losing the will to live
[00:52:32] [SPEAKER_03]: doesn't kill you that quick
[00:52:34] [SPEAKER_03]: at least well like if you don't have
[00:52:36] [SPEAKER_03]: anything medically wrong like medically
[00:52:37] [SPEAKER_03]: wrong you're good to go
[00:52:39] [SPEAKER_01]: I think you hear all the time about these older
[00:52:41] [SPEAKER_01]: couples for sure that kind of a broken
[00:52:43] [SPEAKER_03]: heart yeah I just
[00:52:46] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know I don't know
[00:52:47] [SPEAKER_03]: it was just a big mess
[00:52:49] [SPEAKER_03]: and when you have the babies
[00:52:51] [SPEAKER_03]: that I like for any
[00:52:53] [SPEAKER_03]: parents you know you have the baby and you're like
[00:52:55] [SPEAKER_03]: this is now like now I have
[00:52:57] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know it just all seemed very
[00:52:59] [SPEAKER_03]: shady is all I'm saying it seemed very shady
[00:53:01] [SPEAKER_00]: they ruined a really good character on you
[00:53:02] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know maybe some better care
[00:53:05] [SPEAKER_01]: mine is wars because
[00:53:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Uncle Owen
[00:53:10] [SPEAKER_01]: fought numerous
[00:53:11] [SPEAKER_01]: wars in the 15 years he
[00:53:13] [SPEAKER_01]: kept Luke because he's Joel Edgerton
[00:53:15] [SPEAKER_01]: when Luke Skywalker
[00:53:17] [SPEAKER_01]: comes home as a baby and 15
[00:53:19] [SPEAKER_01]: years later he's that guy and
[00:53:21] [SPEAKER_01]: he must have gone through 3 or 4
[00:53:23] [SPEAKER_01]: COVIDs like it is
[00:53:25] [SPEAKER_01]: it's pretty brutal
[00:53:27] [SPEAKER_01]: 5 financial depressions the farm
[00:53:29] [SPEAKER_01]: gets burnt down by listen by
[00:53:31] [SPEAKER_01]: episode 4 he's the ripe age of a
[00:53:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Sith apprentice that's exactly right
[00:53:35] [SPEAKER_01]: the 15 years
[00:53:37] [SPEAKER_01]: is a thousand years
[00:53:39] [SPEAKER_01]: that is the roughest 15 year stretch
[00:53:41] [SPEAKER_01]: it's like you know how the presidents look
[00:53:43] [SPEAKER_01]: way older 8 years later it's like he was
[00:53:45] [SPEAKER_01]: US president for 15 straight years
[00:53:47] [SPEAKER_01]: it is man
[00:53:49] [SPEAKER_01]: it's tough he is bright eyed
[00:53:51] [SPEAKER_01]: bushy tailed Joe Edgerton
[00:53:53] [SPEAKER_01]: and then 15 years later
[00:53:55] [SPEAKER_01]: he's that guy so god bless him
[00:53:57] [SPEAKER_01]: out there we did
[00:53:59] [SPEAKER_03]: it everybody congratulations Star Wars
[00:54:01] [SPEAKER_03]: 1 through 6
[00:54:03] [SPEAKER_03]: in the book Stan anything else to say
[00:54:05] [SPEAKER_01]: no that's it I think it's a good 6
[00:54:07] [SPEAKER_01]: a good stopping point and we got 5 more
[00:54:09] [SPEAKER_01]: we got Force Awakens
[00:54:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Rogue One, Last Jedi, Solo
