 with Fury and Mola. That's it, Joey! What's up, guys? Welcome back to another Stargryph Month. Another Stargryph Month. Did you never watch it? No, I did. I just loved the ideas, the hot cuts to, like, hey, everybody, welcome. This is the very, very established, very typical weekly podcast we've been doing for a very long time. And we're ready to go. Yeah, fuck it. We're ready to go. Beautifully constructed. Unscripted. Yeah, newly constructed, unscripted. Yeah, that's a, yeah, what do you guys think of the new intro? So roll it again. With Fury and Mola. What's the situation? I love how there's X-Wings and then you just hear a tie fighter. That's like an indicative of, like, we are true Star Wars fans. We know exactly what this is. Yeah, true grifters. I saw some people in the comments being like, I really don't approve you streaming with Mola. I'm like, OK, thanks, Dad. Yeah, it happened. It's too late for you now. You're infected with the poison of that side of the internet. Oh, god. Whatever. I think there's one thing we can kind of make known is that you can talk to everyone and the narrative of the people who just don't understand us can remain in their little echo chamber. And that's OK. There's memes that get made about it, where it's like, this is like this way they do it online now that fucking sucks, where someone will stare a screenshot or clip. There's nothing to do with what you actually think or say. And then someone else underneath it will be like, man, I used to love their content, you know? But they did thing. And when they did thing, everything changed. And when thing came out everything. And someone else is like, I used to watch them do it. I can't believe I escaped. I got out of there. Yeah. Their downfall is amazing. You know, they used to do this. And now they do. One of the funniest things for me was because EFAP started reacting explicitly just to YouTube videos. That's all we ever did. And then we moved into those different kinds of things. Like we played games or do quizzes or talk about movies, break them down, plot piece by piece. And we just bounced between all kinds of different kinds of episodes. Until eventually we'd done so many non-video reactions that when we did some more of those, there was a comment, I've saved it because I want to show my fans when I did another EFAP. Someone was like, so you guys have now resulted to just reacting to videos? Like this podcast has fallen so far. Like that's what we did for years. What do you mean? I'm sorry, were we curing cancer before? Like when you were just a bunch of dudes talking about stuff? Like what do you... It's always so dramatic. What do you expect? Yeah, very dramatic, yeah. But I mean, people just want to see your downfall sometimes. But yeah. I think humanity is big into redemption stories, underdog stories and downfalls. But hey, just like you said, redemption. I mean, you know, if we do have a downfall, then there's only one way to go is up. Yeah, we'll stop that, Ock. We're good. Yeah. Either way, it's what you have to do. It's entertainment, WWE, baby. Just like Anakin. All right, so we don't have too much to talk about this week in Star Wars. You know, it's probably going to be dead for, I'd say probably till the new year, till January hits. That's what you're gonna say. Does the... Sells it, but like... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This piece sucks it. Well, dude, yeah, it's so insane behind the stream. It's weird they haven't announced anything yet. Like we had the strikes, but we have zero announcement now that everything's over. We have nothing coming out. Like we know that there's four pieces of media coming next year. We have Bad Batch. We have Tales of the Jedi, which you gotta watch. What's the other one? Acolyte, Skelton Crew. Skelton Crew. Well, fine, we have that game, but I don't really think too many people are excited about it. Well, I mean... And it's like, you know, give us some dates. Well, yeah, so you're talking about Rebel Moon, right? Are you somewhat revved for that? I was, and then I saw the trailer and I was just, I don't know, I don't know what to really think of it, to be honest. I wasn't really too hyped. I'm not ever hyped about a Zack Snyder project. I assume I have you in the night. Well, I really like the Man of Steel. That was... Really? Okay, what about Batman V Superman then? Nah, not the biggest fan of that. Not the biggest fan. What was the night cut? It was fine, but I think it was just all a bunch of mishmash. Like, I feel like there's just, he has so many characters and it's almost like you can't really focus on just one. Yeah. That's, you know... That'd be one of the problems, but I did a big ol' video on that one. I thought it sounded like it was awful. Another thing, I was always willing to give him a chance, but at this point I'm looking at him and I was like, how has he been given this many chances? Ridiculous. Like, his movies don't do anywhere near as well as what the studio would want. But Netflix really, really believe in him. And so, I guess this Rebel Moon, I don't know what result they're hoping for, but I'm not sure they're gonna get it. It comes out in a few days? Yeah. I've already seen, obviously, reviews of porn and we get different kinds of results from everybody. I'll be curious to check that out, so like... Yeah. Yeah, you know, there's gonna be a new Star Wars, which is... Yeah? Hey. Yeah, just like Ryan Johnson said, Lacha is gonna have a bigger reveal than I am your father. Ugh. Maybe you could say it was bigger than that. Throw it the whole friendship. I don't know, maybe. Like, I wonder what he was talking about. Was it just Snoke dying? Oh, no. No, I think it would be Ray's parents, right? Luke dying. Remember, we don't care much about that, but he might, I don't know. God, yeah. Well, maybe he's talking about the broom kid. Oh, I know, Luke dying. I don't know. Oh, Luke... But no, who cares about that? Did you see what JJ had to say recently about, or what happened with JJ? What, I mean, sorry, what Adam Driver said over the last week about how Kylo, the information regarding Kylo, how it was completely changed in the last Jedi. Oh, well, yeah, well, the thing is, that's one of the things I've come across in my videos is like the nature of Kylo, right? You can tell from the films that he's getting pulled all over the place in terms of like creative ideas. I think a lot of people sort of reintegrated that into the perspective of the character itself. They were like, oh, you see, it's, he's complicated. He's getting pulled from the dark to the light to the, like, no, I think they have no idea what they're doing with him. That's what's actually happening. Literally, yeah. Did you see that interview? I've been told about it. I was actually going to say, I could have sworn, it's like, would you tell me about it, or is someone else either way? Yeah, there might have been someone else. But he was going to be the opposite of Anakin's Ark, right, that was the idea. Yeah, I could pull it up, yeah. The opposite of Anakin's Ark, but from the beginning, he was supposed to fall further and further into the dark side. And when, so when he was playing that way in episode seven, and then episode eight, he was still trying to lean into it, but Ryan came along and completely changed it. And then episode nine, at the last minute, they changed the fact that he was, he became Ben Solo. There was no, they were never supposed to be Ben Solo. I think that would have been much more interesting if he had just continued to go further yonder into the dark. Because that's the crazy thing is like, you ask anybody, what would you have done from the Force Awakens onward? You get a different answer every time because it really can go in all kinds of directions in, let's say, good ways, like many of the things you could have done. You got one of the worst timelines, impressive. Yeah, geez, but I mean, look, that's why I'm happy about that Dave Filoni movie is because it's literally, I know you're not into it, but it's literally going to be the new sequel trilogy. I'll give it a shot. Because you can't really call this, you can't call the sequel trilogy, sequel trilogy anymore once that movie is out because that's going to be the first one. Yeah, it's going to get weird for the naming. I mean, you say that, but it's so ingrained at this point. Everyone calls the sequel trilogy, sequel trilogy in the same way that if they made more prequels, nobody's calling that the prequel trilogy, like a new trilogy that comes out. Well, in my mind, it's going to be. Before we get on to the next topic, guys, thanks so much for the Super Chats and the memberships. Mahler and I for these shows will now be sharing Super Chats. So yeah, throwing your questions, throwing your Super Chats, throwing your donations, and we will use the funds for our respective channels for all of our projects. Grift the Stars. Grift the Stars, it's what we do best. Star Grift. I called it Grift Wars on Twitter. Completely fucked up the name. I saw that, I was like, did he forget? It was like 4 a.m. when I made that tweet. I was like, oh shit, wait, that's not it. I will say that when I saw it, I was like, Grift Wars. I mean, Star Grift Agro, they're both good names. Yeah, I think Star Grift's better. I don't even know who came up with it. There was one guy, we have to give him credit eventually. Well, that's the thing, man. Gary from Medrodic has said this before and I will as well. Chat ended up naming a lot of the podcasts I've ever been a part of. Because chat, you know, it's a lot of brains that come up with some fun stuff. Yeah. The EFAP podcast was named from somebody in chat. We had like finalizing five of the top voted things and then the group democracy. Yeah, let chat decide and they went with EFAP. What does EFAP mean, like internet fapping? You couldn't interpret it that way if you wanted it. The acronym is every frame of pause. The idea is we talk forever and we'll pause every frame and we'll go over everything. Okay, yeah. I literally was like, are these guys just jerking off to go online or something? It was like EFAP, okay. I don't think YouTube would want to do that, but. I don't know, man. Now Twitch is allowing nudity, so YouTube might be next. That was hilarious, right? That they're like, let us welcome this new form. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's like poured in the next day. You form of art. Every piece of coverage I've seen about it, everyone says like what the fuck was Twitch doing, being like, here are new rules for how you're allowed to have nudity and then of course, everyone exploits the rules immediately. And then Twitch are like, no, no, no, no, stop, no nudity and they've like banned a whole bunch of channels and Twitch are retarded. They have been since they can go. Banned, I saw they banned that one girl, but they've actually banned channels now for showing it. You said you could show nudity. I don't know if they've gone any further than like 10 bans. They tend to just do that for everybody in different ways. Even that girl got a 10 ban, I think it's just like, it's a way of them looking like they're doing something, but not having any permanent repercussions. Oh my God, dude. But man, over the years, they have made some incredible decisions that just keep destroying their own platform and they can't afford to do this anymore. There's so many other streamers obviously YouTube, but you have like other ones that are just, and they're ready for people to join and be a part of. I was listening to someone break it down and apparently like, you know, kick and rumble, they're not tiny, they've actually done damage to like, you know, Twitch's ability to control the market share. But once upon a time, Twitch was the streaming site. That was there, but at this point, it's like the one that everyone kind of laughs at. Yeah, good for you. Go in there, keep trucking along. I would love for YouTube to absolutely take over in all of those spaces. I, you know, YouTube's obviously my preference, though I still hate them. Everyone's still in the office some of the decisions they make and everything. That meme of every time they update the UI, it's just distinctly worse than what it was. You remember like, because you've been on YouTube for a while, a decent time, right? You're not a customization you used to have for your own channel. Oh, it was crazy. Yeah. Most people don't even know about it anymore. Back in the beginning. It's been so long. I've been watching YouTube since before banners existed. No, I remember the change and when it was like the whole page has now just been reduced to you can change things in the banner and it was like, okay, that sucks. Yeah, more control, I suppose. I know, but they're now rolling out more stuff with the live features and all that. So they're trying to, I think, you know, probably make a mark with everything that they're doing. They do make changes every once in a while. I'm like, oh, nice. That's a good change. You listened. Great. I don't know if Twitch have ever done that. So. Yeah, probably not. But, yeah, well, we'll see what happens. In, you want to talk about Rebel Moon? Sure. Like, I, there's some... What's it even about? I don't know. The thing I know is that Anthony Hopkins does the voice of a robot or something in it. So I was like, okay. Oh, really? Yeah, I like it, so, yeah. I like Anthony Hopkins, yeah. I'm like, oh, it was so funny. Because I've made so many videos about how Marvel is like falling apart, right? And I did that Snyder Cut video. I got several posts on Twitter being like, I can hate Marvel fanboys talking about DC. I was like, what the hell? Definitely not one of those. It hangs out. Oh, I know, right? Well, we can talk about that next, if you want. But with Rebel Moon, like the trailer, I was, you know, severely, maybe the way it would be whelmed. I was like, very well. That's what's happening, all right. Obviously it's gonna come down to the right infamy, but I don't even know that we're gonna be, I mean, I've never been, I've never considered Zack Snyder that reliable on that front. I don't know. I mean, I'm not crazy familiar with his movies. I think I've seen most of them, like 300 and, yeah, I saw Watchmen. They're good. I just feel like there's just, there's always so much going on. One thing I really liked about the Dark Knight in Christopher Nolan's movies is that he like, he will have so many different characters on screen, but he really knows how to own in on that one main character. I really like focus on them. And I almost feel like with Zack Snyder stuff, I don't want to say there's too much going on, but it almost sometimes feels that way. Well, I like his movies, but. What was Snyder cut for, how is? I don't like that, yeah. Yeah, you could intuitively say that there's a hell of a lot going on. Again, I would half recommend my video here if you want to know my full opinion on it, because the, as far as I was concerned, I don't know if you know, but do you know about the production between like Justice League and Snyder cut? No. Like the Zack was, I think halfway through filming something like that. And unfortunately circumstances, he was off the project and they brought in Joss Whedon to finish it. In a mandate that the film couldn't be more than two hours long, at least he did get to do reshoots. And if you watch the film, Justice League, it's not only sickly film, like the color grading is horrific. There's loads of injections of comedy because Marvel was doing really well, obviously at that point. And they were like, we got a copy and we can't be the sad, depressing vision where dark things happen. Even though people more than happy for DC to be dark and be successful. Obviously, as you know, it's not about being dark or being funny, it's about fucking good. But you know, you get that and Joss League was hideous and awful. And then eventually when Zack gets a chance to finish the film the way that he wanted and fully edit it, but it was an unfortunate nature of like, based on what I saw and we went pretty hardcore into the details between me and my friends. And I think he made that film as long as he possibly could. There's so much fat in it. There's so much walking around. There's so much like nothing. The one that was big for me is that really funny comparison. The Justice League are at the bottom of a staircase and Joss cuts it so that they're at the top. And that's that. You know, you see them at the bottom and we cut to the top. And that's when Zack shows us them going up the stairs. It's just like this scene where they're just slowly walking up the stairs. It's like, maybe you can cut that. Maybe cut that is a good idea. I will say that's one of the coolest things to watch the difference between the two editors with that movie. You know what I mean? Like the different things you can figure out what they're interested in doing. I haven't sat there and actually gone through both of them. My video does it. If you're interested though, my perspective is that they both suck balls as movies. I didn't mind the cut. I didn't mind the Zack Snyder cut. I didn't like the original or whatever the short one. Let me address this. So our superchats are flashing for less than a second while they talk more about Zack Snyder. No, so if you're new to the channel then you don't understand how the, or you don't experience with how the superchats here work. I'm just mainly highlighting you guys while we keep talking to let you know that I see it and I acknowledge it and thank you and that we're gonna read it afterwards after we finish our talking. So yeah, we appreciate the superchats. No, I'm not ignoring them. It's just showing that I see you and I will definitely read it later once we're done our conversation. Oh yeah, anyway, sorry, sorry to cut you off. Yeah, I liked the Zack Snyder one. It was good. Oh, I'm glad you did. I thought it was a fucking funny mess, but that's me. You know what I wanted to see more of was the, not the prequel, but like when there was that flashback where it was like the gods fighting. Oh yeah. That was cool. Get to, you know, get Dockside out of Earth before he found the anti-life equation, right? Yeah, yeah, I think it'd be sweet. I mean, I think his DC's got so much incredible stuff to work with, Zack had Man of Steel, Batman Vist, Superman and the Snyder cut and as far as I'm concerned, like that was, very little was drawn out of what is an amazing sort of material. And the really sad part is that I really like the casting. Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck, I thought Batman and Superman, they were top notch. I think the casting is great for sure. I think Batman and Superman. Did you like Batman and Superman? No, no. Versus Superman. So this is like, I don't like anything from Zack Snyder except Watchman. And as far as I'm concerned, that's because of the source material that he was adapting as well. But at the same time, I think he has a good eye. I quite like a lot of his cinematography. Yeah. And I like how much he'll adapt images from the source, but I hate his writing a lot. Yeah. Well, hopefully, you know, he writes for Star Wars Next. People always ask me that. Oh my number one fan. Hello, what would you prefer? I gotta highlight this guy, Simon Davies. Shout out to you, man. Yeah, I did block UNX. I don't really block too many people, but you weren't really adding any substance to your tweets anymore. It wasn't really constructive criticism. It was mainly just lying, grifting, bashing, and trying to push a narrative according to your agenda about me, which is not accurate at all. And so you were making some views off of my name, so I blocked you. And so now I'm gonna block you in here too. Enjoy. Yeah. I guess young people would be like, who would you rather take over Star Wars? Zack Snyder, Ryan Johnson, or J.J. He was asking me this, like, why? Why do I always have temples the worst, like, at all? I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure Ryan Johnson's out. No, no, no. He's got a trilogy coming, don't you know? I've heard about this every month. Everyone keeps talking about this wonderful trilogy that's on the way. He's out, dude. Of course he's out. When they announced his deal with Netflix, who's making Knives Out and Glass Onion and this third one that's coming, everyone had the normal opinion. I was like, no way he's doing Star Wars and a trilogy of movies on Netflix. That's not happening. You don't do two trilogies at the same time. I know that there are only a trilogy in the sense of they're bound by a character that appears in all three of them, but no way he's working on a fucking Star Wars trilogy and he's doing Netflix movies, you know, one per two years or whatever. Yeah, I know. Well, he just got paid a couple hundred million for that. So that's great. Wait for Star Wars? Onion or whatever. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I don't know if you've seen those movies, but I hate them as well. I saw the first one. I really didn't like it, but I went into it really wanting to like it because I like those kind of movies. I was told like it's evidence that Ryan is great when he's on his own instead of doing someone else's material. I don't buy that at all. Dude, he literally let spoilers, anybody who hasn't seen Knives Out, but he literally let out who it was at the beginning. You can make a story work like that. It's not impossible. It's just that nothing in Knives Out makes any sense. It's just a little contradictory bullshit, but like, you know, it's... Don't worry, I promise you, we will come across a franchise or a movie that I will say I like and happen any second now. Yeah, I said I like watching that. Is there any movie? Is there a movie that you really like? Like any movie? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh yeah. I mean, I told you last week, right, I was working on a Lord of the Rings thing. Lord of the Rings trilogy is easily, well, it is the greatest trilogy of all time. It's like mind-blowing what they did with what's in there, but it's one of my favorite stories I've ever told as well. The mic's quiet to the mind. Yeah, I keep hearing that a lot, but it's only on StreamYards. What are you using? Are you using a... I think we've got the same mic. The Shure, I forget the... SM7BF, but my mind's going through a GoXLR. Automatically adjust microphone, let me change this. Is there any better? Is there any better now? I think that's lost that. It's fine to me. Is it loud? Chad, is it better now? Sounds a bit louder, yeah. A bit louder? Okay. All right, there. Yeah, you know, and recently, like, I can't remember if we talked about it, but like, The Killer came out. That's one of my favorite movies of the year. I think I'm gonna love... He knows you've been talking shit. I love that. Could someone please make that a Christmas song? And yeah, you know, all the stuff you'd expect, right? Like, I do like The Matrix, but yeah. Like, yeah. And you know, just aliens, Terminator, Predator. I love all these things. They're like my favorite movies. They're why I like movies. Probably best movie for me would be The Last Samurai, Colladiator, Troy. Are we on the same page? I like all of them. Do you like those? Okay. I don't know if... I don't think of which I think is like the best. Probably... It'll be between Gladiator and The Last Samurai, I think. I'm gonna love Austin Powers passionately. The best. Who he's gonna make the next one now? He is? Yeah. Mike Myers? Yeah. Yeah, Austin Powers 4. I mean, I'll give it a chance, but... You can't release those movies these days, though. No, you can't. You just get canceled. I actually watched them semi-recently and still lost my shit laughing at them. They are beautiful little capsules of early 2000s, late 90s stuff. Funny as fuck. Yes. As of August 7th, 2023, Austin Powers 4 still in development, and Mike Myers has expressed interest in making another movie in the franchise. The timing is perfect for Austin Powers 4 as spy movies are experiencing a resurgence in popularity. The storyline for Austin Powers 4 is expected to focus on Dr. Evil. I mean, hey, like I said, I give them a chance. They were made in a very particular time. I love all three of the originals. I don't know the... Yeah. I didn't replicate it, but hey. No, you can't replicate it, but you can adapt to today's time and maybe something will come out, we'll see. Hey, keep sending your super chats, guys. We'll read them in just a little bit once we end our conversation wherever it's going. Wherever it's going. Well, I mean, it can be mentioned. Next. You got the news about Jonathan Majors, which is... Yeah. I'm not sure how familiar you are, but that's been something that Marvel fans have been keeping a really close eye on because they put all of their, so to speak, they gambled a lot on him. He was going to be the next Thanos. He was going to be the one that all the plot lines move around. It would be the equivalent of setting up a huge villain for Star Wars, like a throne, and all of the stories that mentioned him, and then, of course, he gets fired. Of course, he gets fired. Now, this is a media podcast, so, of course, anyone who's listening is like, wow, do you not care about the people involved in the live set? It's like, no, no, no. We're talking about the media implications. Like, I understand that it's a... I don't know enough about the court case, but it would suck for, obviously, not only his own life is essentially over in terms of a movie career, but also the people who got hit, presumably left, right, and center. I have no idea. I've not really looked into it. All I know is that the second he was found guilty, it's like Disney announced like he's fired. Dude, yeah, I see it now. He's Marvel fired him, Disney fired him, career's over. Yeah. Which, you know, for how Marvel stories are going anyway, he just got set up as being the most important character. He's everywhere, and everyone's gonna have to deal with him, and so now they're gonna have to find a way to flush him out completely or recast him. It's gonna be a complete mess. I know, dude. Well, you can always do Twitch. Yeah, yeah. Well, the funny thing is he actually probably did. Seriously. If he set up like any kind of YouTube channel or Twitch channel, he'd probably be hyper successful. Yeah, yeah, he'd do just fine. Though I, well, I don't know what actors typically do in dealing with a situation like this. Do they try and make it weird, or do they just try and maybe, I don't know, like do they go, do they, they wouldn't like do a retail job, right? They'd probably try and find a way to get back into acting, I assume, especially if they're young. Probably, especially if he's that, you know, already gotten those few big roles. It's probably gonna take him a few years. He would just have to win over the public. He would need to do a really good performance in something after a few years of being gone. No, I think he'd just have to really work on a social media presence. In that, especially if he was to push through his innocence, it was like a kangaroo court sort of thing. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what it means going forward. They're probably going to, as some people were talking about, Doctor Doom might be something they focus on so they're doing Fantastic Four. They've cast that now, so. Bringing a new villain. But yeah, just absolute shambles. Is it Doom? That's not gonna help. Yeah, Doctor Doom is- I don't, yeah, like just bringing Doom. Well, it would be like genuinely, if Thrawn were in the end of like the Mando season, it's in, he's in the Soaker, he's in the new Rey movie, and then he gets fucking fired. You're like, now what? And it's like, don't know, bring in, bring in someone else. I don't know. I want to see Mace Pack in Star Wars, yeah. Absolutely. Allison Mack got out of prison this year. She was in prison that long. Oh yeah, you know about that, right? Goodness. Something about it, yeah. I don't even know how much we can talk about on YouTube. That culture is absolutely ridiculous. I watched an Amazon documentary on it. Fucking crazy, man. You never think that she, like- No. Yeah, weird. That's how they get them, right? Do you like incorporate a bunch of girls who would then incorporate more people, convince them it's like their whole world and everything? No, it's all branding. It's horrible. It's horrible. Oh yeah. Allison Mack, the short vision is that she helped control a cult that brought in people and they abused them and they got found out and went to jail. But she rolled over on the leader, I forget the name of the guy, Heath something, and I think she got a reduced sentence because she gave them up completely. Crazy. Smallville girl, yeah. Yeah. She was cute in there. She was, man. I was like, oh, I remember being a teenager. I was like, yeah, she's really cute. And normal and you'd expect that she'd probably have a career going forward after Smallville and then you look into it and you're like, was she in prison? Why? And then you're like, oh, what? Okay, that's strange. Fair enough. Yeah, can't always trust looks, I guess. Like things like that work that way. Just funny, by the way, we started this stream. A lot of this stuff that I was interested in talking about, I literally found out about like an hour ago because there's that, there's the suicide squad information, I don't know if you've heard about this, the leaks for the G game. No, tell me, because I'm out of the loop with Marvel and stuff. So Chad, you're gonna have to help me out with this because this is what I know, is that you have the Arkham games, right? Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, Arkham Knight. Very beloved by fans. I remember when they came out with fucking badass games. And apparently Rocksteady, they make in Suicide Squad games. I think it's called Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League or something like that. So it's like, oh, this will be kind of fun. Let's see what this is about. And what's been leaked is Holly Quinn executing Batman and DC fans are not fucking happy. An origin. Yeah, Batman fans wouldn't be happy, man. Are you, what do you mean she's executing him? Like actually killing him? This is where it gets complicated because like, I didn't know what the premise of the game was. Was it that they are gonna kill the whole Justice League? Because in that case, I guess they do kill Batman. But like this getting leaked has pissed everyone off because apparently Batman becomes evil because he's been brainwashed by Brainiac and then they've tied him up and she shoots him in the head. Okay, cool. And I was just like, what the fuck? What do you think fans are gonna think about this? I don't know how familiar you are, but like getting flashbacks to the last of us too. Everyone is like, I don't know. Everyone makes movies about that. Whenever there's a new iteration of anything, it's they're gonna get golf clubbed by like the most lame character in the fucking universe. Just some chick. Yeah, it's... It's like a masculine character. Just like some chick comes along, you're dead. Bash his brains in. I wanted to ask you about that with last of us too. So now that the first season was popular, the second one is gonna be an adaptation of season two of the second game. Probably enough, right? When the first season was rolling out, a lot of people were like, are they gonna adapt faithfully or not because they're gonna have to... I don't know how much you know about this, but like when the second game came out, they essentially retcon a couple of the events of the first game to make the second game be able to judge Joel harshly. Like it doesn't work as well. It would be like if someone was to look back on the OT and be like, you know, Luke was kind of a vicious selfish prick. He would just kill people that were in his way, wipe out all these innocent workers on space stations without giving a shit. You're sitting there like, what are you talking about? That's not what happened at all. It's like in Karate Kid with Johnny Lawrence being the protagonist and Daniel being the antagonist. Did you ever see this? Well, I was gonna say that sounds familiar. There's a couple of... Do you like the Karate Kid? Oh, I loved it when I saw it, but it's been a long time. I haven't seen it in a while. Cobra Kai and all that? You're using Cobra Kai. I've had it recommended by a critical drinker a million times, I need to see it. Oh, dude, okay. Anyways, please continue. Sorry, I dropped it. So there's that angle, right, where they're like retconning it. And so when the season one was coming out as an adaptation, people assumed that they would change the story from the last season game one in season one to better represent season two or part two. But the thing is, and you can see this on the Mula channel, we were covering the finale and we were fucking, you know, on the edge of our seat, like they're gonna fuck it up. They're gonna change things. They're gonna make us have Joel as a bad guy. But they mostly kept it the same. And like he's completely justified in the decision he makes at the end of the game. Again, I don't know how familiar you are, but that's the big contention with fans. It's like in the second game, they recontextualize it and they make it so that he's spineless, basically. He doesn't defend the decision he made to essentially save what was his daughter from people trying to cover up to create a vaccine very haphazardly for a world that was completely destroyed. Like a vaccine didn't fix the, right. You have all that. And now people are like, well, what's season two gonna do? And right now, we're not entirely sure based on the comments you've had the creators say stuff like, you know, we're gonna adapt it faithfully. Of course we are. And then other comments like, well, we're gonna, you know, if we did it faithfully, Joel is gonna be in it for like fucking five minutes. So probably we're gonna, you know, stretch a few things here. And it's like, what are you gonna stretch? What are you gonna change? What are you gonna do? And Pedro Pascal right now is pretty popular. Apparently he's a draw of somewhat. You know, you've got a couple of projects that he keeps getting involved with. He's been cast as Reed Richards actually, as far as I know. Not really. So I don't know that they'd wanna drop him in just a half episode, considering I think he's, you know, one of the, like him as Joel, it's not something that a lot of fans like, but at the same time, a lot of fans do like him. He's a bit different from the game, but at the same time, like I just don't think they're gonna kill him in the first five minutes of episode one. I think that they're probably going to drag things out a bit more. So it'll be interesting to see what decisions they make because The Last of Us 2 was written like shit. I don't know that they'd wanna adapt that faithfully in the show. So we'll have to see how that goes. I see. Yeah, cause I really don't think that'll go too well with people. I think they'll be pretty pissed, especially considering a lot of them like the first one. And a lot of them really like Joel. I mean, imagine now they're gonna have to kill him. Well. Dude, I love Joel. He was awesome character. Sorry. He was rough watching. I was very, I was very, very big on the games. I played the first game when it first came out. I remember I was living in this little apartment in North Van at the time. Like I was like 22 or something. And the game just came out on PS4. I think it was or yeah. And dude, it was so cool. Yeah. It was so, it was so good. So different. And then the second one came out and I was so excited for that. And it was shit. I'm like right in the beginning. All of a sudden he's just dead. What is this? There's no way. That was such a crazy cultural moment as well. I had heard so much about it before playing it. And I was like, I'm still gonna give it a chance. Still gonna give it a chance. My stream is still not findable from what I was playing the game. When he gets killed, I'd like the 10 minutes after that, I'm mostly really quiet. And then I'm just like, wandering around in circles, thinking about things. Okay. Why did they do this? I know dude. I was like, is this far? Are you really, did you guys just really bash his brains in with a club, the freaking golf club? Yeah, with a character nobody fucking knows what the game is about. And then they make you play as who for like 60 hours. Overly aggressive, masculine, like just shit character. Can you, I gotta take this for a second. It might be a, can you handle chat? Yeah, yeah, no problem. All right guys, just me now. Happens every once in a while on one of the many podcasts I'm about over. How are you guys doing? Bloody Dog tried to take down Jeremy and I as we're shitting on the last two. Yeah, I don't know what that was. It was like copyright attempts through coverage of the leaks, I think, right? Cause that's the thing. I heard about the leaks and then I heard of like the sort of general of what's happened. And I remember not really believing it quite, but what was really cool was seeing the memes, you know, like the strangling and the punishing and stuff. You guys know what I'm talking about. The images, the really funny ones. Then you get to see the context of how they happened. And that was fucking even funnier, seeing it in the game. Cause the leaks for the last of us two were huge. And I'm pretty sure that the core of the leaks for that were basically the people who were working on the game fucking hated what they were doing or at least a lot of them did. You imagine that working on a project with a bunch of people that you really believe in and then they leak it because they fucking hate what you've done to the character you're supposed to be taken care of. Like, damn dude, must have pissed off the fans somewhat. Yeah, people are, well people just kind of, no one's got integrity anymore. Even if you're working for something, they just kind of take everything and make it their own. People are very entitled today. Very, very entitled. Toby Drinker's point of view on exactly what's wrong with all of adaptation and sequels right now is that nobody wants to understand the work they have and then move it forward on its own terms instead they want to be like, yeah, but I want to tell a story about how Joel is a piece of shit that deserves to be killed with a golf club. You're like, okay. Even though Neil Druckmann was of course very involved with the first one. Yeah, it's like, why would you want to do that? What, how is that progressing the story in any sort of way whatsoever? But, wow, Sunny, thank you for the very big super chat. We appreciate it. We'll start reading super chats in a little bit, guys. What's that? I said, I tried to give the last two a fair shot as I could. I tried to do this with anything that comes out, but you know what I mean? If Ryan Johnson comes back to make his new movie and he says he can't wait to kill most Star Wars characters, especially once people love, I would still be like, I'm still gonna give her a chance, okay? Still, just see what he does. I'm gonna have a lot of hope. Yeah, well, you know, but it's just, I was reading some article the other day of all the canceled Star Wars projects. Let me see if I can bring that up even. Oh, God, the graveyards. There were a lot, man. There were a lot. Every Unmade, yeah, every Unmade and canceled Star Wars movie and TV show and why they didn't happen. Okay, we got, well, they're really starting from the top here, I guess. George Lucas episode seven, eight, nine. Yeah, that was definitely gone now. Colin Travarro's episode nine, Duel of the Fates. The original Star Wars prequels, what are they on about? Anyways, Boba Fett's solo Star Wars movie. Wait, we had two different directors that were supposed to make that, most of the space for the movie. The man goes on to that one point, right? Tell me that you have a chance. Yeah, mangled, yeah. They were really gonna do Splinter of the Mind's Eye. Did you ever read the book? No. Okay, right. So it was supposed to be literally right after A New Hope and there was this one part in particular where there's this crystal that magnifies your force powers and Vader gets a hold of it and you start shooting force lightning. Okay. It was pretty cool. It was pretty cool. Be careful though, he's a robot. Playing in him, he'll shoot himself. He didn't care, he became ridiculously powerful. It was like the power stone. David Benioff and D.B.Y.'s Star Wars trilogy, you guys remember that one? Okay. Did they kill him? Just forgot about the roads for that. I don't think they did. I know, I know, and then they never made it. Patty Jenkins Rogue Squadron. Well. Kevin Feige Star Wars movie. Dave Damon Lindelof's Ray Skywalker film, which is now Charmine, Obeyed, Chenoy or something like that. Gilmore Del Toro's The Rise and Fall of Jabba the Hutt, which I think would have been freaking awesome. Yeah, I'd watch the hell out of that, yeah. Like a gangster crime movie. You know that Gilmore would love to make a big old Jabba that like, you know, really impressive animatronics, everything. Dude, Star Wars Underworld was a show. Rangers of the New Republic, with Gina. And there was like a droid movie. The thing is, it's just evident of what we already know, which is they have no idea what to do with Star Wars. They're out of show. No, I don't. They don't. Was there ever a Kenobi movie? Because I know that the Boba Fett film got turned into a Boba Fett like, oh, right, yeah. We were supposed to have a trilogy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, that. I was about to say a way better idea, but of course, if it was made with the same fucking sensibilities that TV show was, it'd be like. No, it was supposed to be somebody else that directed it actually and wrote it. It wasn't Joby. I don't even know who Joby Harold is, man. He completely fucked up, really. It was someone else, but I remember you and talking about it to Collider and he was mentioning how it was supposed to be a trilogy was a trilogy. They were going to make a bunch of movies. Well, the Boba Fett movie, Star Wars detours, what the heck is this? Yeah, episode nine, David Lindelof, Kevin Feige, Broke Squadron, Brian Johnson's trilogy. Glad we didn't get that shit. Fuck. I'm horrible. But I particularly would have been the most excited of all of those for the Boba Fett movie. There's so much potential. It's so easy to make something that would be fucking awesome for fans. James Mangled, yeah. Yeah, I think. Why do you think they're doing this? That's my question is, why are they literally taking everything and just diluting it down and making it such boring dribble and then making all the male characters these little bitches? You talk about Star Wars, you don't want everything. Oh, let's talk about Star Wars mainly, but I mean, they're doing kind of everything. It was funny, we had someone on EFAT once who was covering a friend of mine's statements about the state of characters in Star Wars or whatever else. And he was like, you know, how many of those have actually happened though? Like for real, isn't it over-exaggeration? And he was like, well, I can't remember if I talked to you about secret invasion. It's one of the most fascinating examples of be a shit that's happening. Remind me, that's Marvel, right? Yeah, it's one of the newer Marvel shows. I'm assuming you know Fury somewhat, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So like, they take him from Avengers, Avengers 2012, he's the guy who organized a lot of shit. He's the connection the Avengers have to the government and stuff. And they give him his little moment when a bunch of mercenaries break into the helicarrier, he gets to kill a couple of them. Like, yeah, he gets to be, even though he's pretty old, he gets to show off he was a spy or is a spy and then he knows what he's doing. Cool. He's a winter soldier, he's like attacked and his vehicle is fully set for ambushes and he gets to kill a whole bunch of people and escape sort of, but the winter soldier gets it. Even as a fucking lightsaber in that movie. There was some weird device about it. Everyone thinks he's kind of badass. You can always escape the situation. He's always one step ahead and he'll always have like a backup plan. Secret invasion, they tell us that everything to do with his spy history has nothing to do with him. It's that he stole it all from other people that he forced to do this stuff for him. That he rose through the ranks and he rose in his career because he used these people and that he shouldn't rewrite history and pretend that he's worthwhile in any way, shape or form. And as a fan, you're just like, why the hell did you just write that? Well, they just took the cool part of him away completely. Yeah, he's incredibly, he's like scared, he's lame and he's outsmarted several times in Secret Invasion then we find out his whole history is a lie and they have a character tell him explicitly, don't rewrite history, don't claim that you're some like great spy that's done this on the other one. He's supposed to, that's his character in the MCU universe, he's the greatest spy, he's supposed to be like the top notch one. You're like, wow, a whole show just to tell us how fucking shit the character we really like is. Okay. Yeah. You know, and you might be like, well, that's just one. It's like, well, that's the problem in it. It's a lot of ones. I have no idea what they're doing. I have no idea where their mindset is or their agenda is or whatever, but it's, you don't have to have, you don't have to make men weak and shit characters in order to make the women look good. You can make them both look good. So I'm just kind of confused. I came up with Lord of the Rings, the AON and RON of like really strong female characters that don't require like, you know, shit on any of the actors in the whole franchise in order to be wrong. Correct. And it's just sad that we apparently are very much worse at doing that these days, raising up women, you know, without destroying everything else around. Like it feels like that's how we know how to do it. If we make everything else shit, they'll look good. Like that's not how you do it. Yeah. I know. It's unfortunate. You know, and it just sets back a lot of progress we've made in storytelling. There's plenty of female characters that we all love and now we have to watch a bunch of these shit ones. And then you have to like watch everyone overreact when you don't like them, feeling like, oh yeah, you don't like it because it's a woman. It was very strange. Yeah, I know. I know. It's just such an easy thing for them to just throw out people like, oh, it's just because it's a girl. What do you mean, dude? There's nothing to do with it. Oh, I mean, we've talked about it before, but like, you know, Ray, what is her legacy and are they still fans of Ray? Are there people out there who love Ray as much as people love Luke? It's like, how is it? I would argue that they love, they maybe love Ray more to just make a point that like, hey, we hate all the people that like Luke. Like, why does it have to be like that? It's almost like I feel like there's an animosity between who you can like or can't like and it's just kind of strange. I mean, they probably won't believe it, but I was genuinely just waiting. Like, when's Ray gonna get, do you know the most interesting Ray was? It was like her first 10 minutes in The Force Awakens. Yeah, she wasn't bad. Yeah, they had some solid storytelling like showing us what she does in her day to day, how she's surviving. I was like, okay, this person has some stuff going on. But, you know, not to harp on the criticism that pretty much everyone has, but she just, you can succeed at almost everything. Everyone she meets really likes her. She's given the power and control of basically everything. It's like, this is boring. I know. I know I was unfortunate like that. But it is what it is. And maybe, you know, that's, I'm curious to see what their angle will be in the next film. How are they gonna explain her abilities and her powers and, you know, they know it's a prevalent issue with a lot of fans. So I wonder what are they going to do to actually explain things so that fans won't have much to say or haters or whatever, you know, what they'd like to call us. Yeah, they will have had as much as a decade of listening to different people's big problems with Ray at that point. So like, hopefully they can at least experiment with the idea of making her go through something really harsh, which is funny because a lot of people were like, what do you mean? She like died in the third one. I mean, like, I don't know what the fuck happened in the third one, man. I don't know what that was when the emperor like sucked them at the dyad of the force or whatever. I don't know what that meant. Well, essentially it was like, they have a unifying ancient power or some crap and then together it's like, you know, positive and negative and they attract and they become one. And then the emperor sucked their power out and like forced strain and put it onto himself became extremely powerful. Basically recharged. Yeah, and I should be able to. And he died using the same move that he did against me. Yeah, he got his light and reflected back. He's had that happen so many times that pull past it. It's like, all right, pal. So let's just maybe like one arc can just branch off and like hit her finger or something. Or like, you know, incinerate her. Like, you know, that's all you need to do. In the comics, he could do that. He could level up his lightning and he would just like literally zap one guy. He'd turn into dust. But, oh well, you know. I guess he had to die somehow. You know, have you been asked the question? I assume you have. But what would you have done if you had full control of a rise of Skywalker? You had to use, but no choice but to keep the continuity of the first two. Oh my gosh. I haven't even really thought of that because I just think it's too much of a headache. It's too much of a nightmare, isn't it? Because the thing is you try and sneak in retcons if they said you couldn't have them. You'd be like, okay. Well, what, so I can't have Luke waking up from a bad dream? That's the, obviously, they would like to do that. Well, it's the thing. I would probably want to just try and throw in even if I wasn't allowed to record anything that like the real Luke hasn't been found yet. Okay, so here's what I do. I would, I would have Luke, I would have the film start off with, you know, whatever Rey and whatever she's doing, just training or whatever. And we go a little bit, then we go to Kylo and then everyone's still wondering where's Luke, what's going on with Luke, is he dead? Then we go into like this cloud, white cloud, and it's, we're now entering a completely different realm and we're now into the, not the world between worlds, but what the next realm would be when you die. So we would be into the netherworld, the force, whatever you want to call it. So then that's where we would have, we would have, you know, the camera, maybe be like panning a little bit to the right and then we would have voices of everyone that we know. And, you know, Yoda, Anakin, Obi-Wan, Luke, so on and so forth, maybe even Qui-Gon as a voice. And then we would have Luke maybe sitting there and meditating or something and learning from them or talking with all of them or walking with them. And it's some super strange world that we haven't visited before. Everything is extremely, I don't know, it could even almost, it could be a world or it could be very much like, you know that scene in Harry Potter? I think it was the seventh one where Dumbledore is dead and it's the train station where Harry's, yeah. So it could be something like that where it's all white and kind of just like almost like the matrix sort of. And we see Luke training and he throw out the film, he's kind of training and learning and learning more aspects of the force because he now is the force. And so he unlocks this new ability, which they've all been trying to do, I suppose, but he unlocks it and now he can actually go back and forth between this world and the living. And so he goes to the living world, but as a, not even as a force goes, he's just a manifestation of midichlorians. And so he is full on there and he like cannot die anymore. But then we have Snoke come back, he's not dead, okay? His vessel went into something else or someone else, whatever, or he just, I don't know. He tricked Kylo, right? He tricked Kylo as like a force of it. He did the force vision as well, okay? So there's two of them. Then from there, we have Snoke, potentially I lost my train of thoughts. There's so much mental gymnastics right off the cuff. No, yeah, no, I'm with you on that because it's like what the fuck do we do with Luke exactly, you know, what you'll try to come up with is any way we can get it back. Okay, here we go, here, I got it, I got it, I got it, I got it. So then Snoke finds a way to actually eliminate a force ghost completely. Like you don't exist anymore. Not even as a force ghost or whatever, you're dead. Like if you don't, you ain't coming back, you're nothing. You're not even a thought or anything in the force. And so Snoke is now working on completely destroying and killing all of the force ghosts. And so in the end it comes to this final battle of Kylo and Rey and Luke against Snoke. But Snoke now has ransom of all of the force ghosts and he's going to eliminate all of them. And Qui-Gon and Yoda and Anakin and all these guys are there and they're just like, you have to let it happen, it's the will of the force. And Luke is like now teetering into the light and dark. And he's just manifesting all levels of the force. And from there, I would say it could get pretty interesting. Maybe Snoke kills off a few of the original characters. Full-on actually destroys Obi-Wan or Yoda or something like that. But not before maybe they go into Luke somehow. I don't know, and they become part of him and he becomes all the Jedi. And in the end maybe Luke sacrifices himself completely for Rey and Kylo and Kylo and Rey both become good and Kylo becomes good and then they both defeat Snoke after he's been beaten down, I don't know. Just making it up. No, I get it, you're on the spot. And the thing is like, I don't even know if Disney would ever prove of ideas like that. That would be a pretty abstract movie if it was focused way more on force ghosts than like anything else or what comes after life. I don't know. I feel like they'd be like, you gotta make it, you know, it needs to be more about Rey, like what's Rey doing? Which for me, you know, if I controlled over, I'm putting it through hell pretty quickly. I don't know, I would even have maybe argue that like Snoke set her up, he's been providing her power because he wanted to move her into a particular place. Like imagine having to go through that, that everything she's experienced and felt as a power was all. It was fake. Yeah, none of it was actually hers. I feel like that would be a good idea to have to deal with. Yeah, that'd be cool. I would love for Plagueis to come back and make an appearance somehow, you know? Cause that whole theme of him being able to cheat death but then doesn't do it himself. I've heard is like some of the biggest bullshit. So many fans have talked about it. They're like, well, how could he could do it? He was literally the one who invented it and then Palpatine just kills him. So it's like, well, why don't we just have him come back? Remember people thought that was what Snoke was? TFA first came out. Yeah, I'm gonna keep getting all these numbers here and just watch what's happening. It's just me again, all righty. Disney would fuck up Plagueis though. Yeah, of course, this is the thing. If whenever people like get excited for the next thing Disney put out, be it Marvel or Star Wars, are they doing Thrawn? Are they doing Doctor Doom? They're doing Reed Richards? They're gonna be doing, maybe bring back Multiverse, Tom Cruise, Iron Man, or they're gonna be doing, you know, whatever it may be. You just like, you guys remember who were making these stories, right? Like what they did with the recent, you know, whoever it is, the last person you loved, it's a character. What would you do, Mola? Dude, depending on the restrictions, right? Cause you have the request of being a complete rewrite of the trilogy or just Rise of Skywalker or TLJ and Rise of Skywalker or what you do after the trilogy, that sort of thing. It's like there's a different answer for all of them. Obviously my main intent would be to undo hell of a lot of the damage that they've done. But at the same time, you know, the hypothetical could be that you're not allowed to undo any of the damage. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if we only saw like a percentage of the retcons that JJ wanted in the third film in the sequel trilogy. Retconning stuff in TLJ. You know, like he probably didn't get as many in there as he even wanted to. It's a very funny film to watch from the lens of like him wanting to undo some of the damage that had been done to his own film, which in turn had done loads of damage to the OT. You know, it's a big old question mark. However, if, you know, like broad strokes, you'd want to fix up Finn immediately, get him back on track. I don't know what we do with Luke because if we have to use the continuity of the first two of the sequels, don't really make him alive again unless that last image of him dying as is according to the people who made it. You'd have to try and maybe say like, no, that wasn't him dying. He was just experiencing something in the force. You know, he'd become that powerful. But even then, you've got to deal with all the TLJ crap that's damaged him completely. The point we don't actually have him be that character. You'd rather say something like he's captured somewhere and that that was like a puppet that was being, which is another angle you can do, that Snoke was a big old puppeteer that he'd made Kylo and Rey think that they had done what they had done just to see what they would do. That Luke was something that he created. He was never real. Like, well, rather the Luke on, I don't remember the planet name, but the end of TFA, that planet. You know, the real Luke, I don't even know if I'd want the real Luke to be captured, almost lame, right? Like, easy retcon, just ignore it. If we're allowed to do that, hell yeah. Like I said, not even the, he woke up. I would just, like, decanonize how it goes. Need a new franchise? It does feel that way sometimes. Like, all the effort that could be put into be correcting, I was putting it on track. It just feels like better spent at this point maybe making a new franchise. But at the same time, there's plenty of fans that are just like, can you please get someone in to fix it, you know? And I think evidence from, you know, a lot of the different TV shows that come out, I think people are very much ready for it to be fixed. People are always ready for, like, Star Wars to get back on track. Like, it's back, baby. Good to go. Maybe Star Wars vs. Terminator crossover event to resettle timelines. Yeah, we just need someone to get into the wheel between worlds and go back to the beginning of the sequels and just we'll do it over again. Have another shot. TFA, next part, when? I can never promise a particular day, but what I can promise, the Lord of the Rings about movies will be coming Wednesday, as far as I'm aware. I went through painstakingly, sorting out the copyright, so at least five of you people in chat will be watching it when it comes out. And the copyright protection on that was insane. Actually, I'd be curious if Yuri ever deals with it in any kind of direct way, the copyright functions. But a little tip for anybody who's making videos out there, I don't even know if this is a tip, it's very vaguely understood, but the nature of copyright for like a 10 minute video seems to be different than a one hour video, which seems to be different than a eight hour video. Like the way that they do copyright on it seems to change depending on the length. Hello, welcome back. Hello, yeah, I'm sorry, I had to give the guy in my car. No problem. Yeah. We're gonna chat about some of those things, I'll vex could you please? Oh, weird, why would you do that? I don't know. Would you do such a thing? I'm feeling wild today. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I guess we can move on to super chats now, suppose and we'll just keep the conversation going, guys. You know, in terms of format, that's probably wise, right? First hour, we chat, second hour, super chats. Yeah, just how I've always done it, but yeah. Thoughts on the holiday special and documentary? Funny. I don't put too many thoughts into it. Trying to think about it too much. I would love Mahler's review on what the fuck. I haven't done any coverage of the Star Wars holiday special, but hey, maybe one day. If Mahler hasn't watched Star Wars holiday special, we should watch it on stream. It's on YouTube for free, just a thought. Oh, I've seen it, but I've seen it all at once. It's the legendary Star Wars content, are you kidding me? Do you think by next week you could watch three episodes of Tales of the Jedi? Sure. They're like eight, nine minutes long each if you don't count the credits. The thing, man, I'm willing to go a little further than that for you for this show if you want. If you want, I can watch maybe two episodes of The Clone Wars per week and we can talk about them. Yeah, yeah. Let me know what you want. I want to see what you think. Some of them are boring, but some of them are really great. One thing we can talk about the boring ones as well, right, I've got friends I recommend shows and they're like, which ones do I skip? And I'm like, don't even skip, just go through it and tell me which ones you hated. It's fine with me. I think it's the thing is- I skipped some of them. If you want it, because I imagine chat will go nuts thinking about this as a potential, but I've heard that Tales of the Jedi is more enjoyable when you get more context from The Clone Wars. It is, yeah. So how about this, how about we watch two episodes of The Clone Wars every week? Sure, do that. Yeah, okay, we can go from there. Chat, would you guys like that? Would you be down for that? Mahler's review of Tales and The Clone Wars and we talk about it every week a little bit and- Well, someone wants to figure that out. That'll take like two episodes per week, two episodes per- How many episodes of The Clone Wars are there? Oh my God. I think it's two years one. Seven seasons, there's like 20 episodes a season. Oh man. Yeah, it's like 10 weeks probably for one season. Yeah, probably a year. Well, so I've heard there's some arcs are out of order, right? You don't go chronologically? Yeah, you do. Cool. I go chronologically. Like on release. I remember being told by some people that there's certain watch orders you can do with The Clone Wars. Oh, I don't know. Well, I don't mind going chronologically. Yeah, whatever, we'll just go through it. I mean, I'm even down to skip the first season. The first season was kind of slow for me. No, we're gonna do it all day. But there's good stuff with it. Yeah, no, there's good stuff with Bo Koon. You will see Jar Jar. You'll see lots of his ass. And as good as his wife. Does it remind you why don't we know more about Jar Jar's wife? That's important stuff for stuff like that. She's royalty. Wouldn't much rather watch a Jar Jar movie right now than a Ray movie. Yeah, me too. Me too. I would too. You want people to do the challenge of like write a Ray movie or write a sequel. I love the challenge of writing a Jar Jar movie. That would be fucking funny. Like trying to make it interesting, trying to make it something people would actually like. It'd be great. Yeah, it'd be really like a, it would be a fun challenge. And if they gave you just 10 million, they were like, that's all we're giving you. They're like, that's all in enough. And if you want to watch more episodes, if you're compelled to do so, go for it. But yeah, one to two, good enough. Well, that's the thing, right? If it maybe picks up speed and then we do five episodes per year. There are some, yeah. There are some that actually pick up speed, so. But yeah. Okay, I would say, are you gonna watch Tales of the Jedi first? Well, so that's why I brought it up, is that I've heard people say you shouldn't watch Tales of the Jedi before Clone Wars. Nah, you'll be fine. Sure. Yeah, you'll be fine. What do you wanna do first then? Tales of the Jedi? Tales, 100%. Okay. You can skip the Ahsoka ones, just do the Qui-Gon ones, or the Dooku ones. Which I think, are those the first three? Chat, were those the first three or the second batch? I can't remember. But either way, you'll find it. By next week, I gotta see three Count Dooku episodes of Tales of the Jedi. Tales, yeah, yeah. If you wanna go above and beyond, you can watch two episodes of Clone Wars, first two episodes, but we'll leave that up to you. All right. Totally your choice. I'm excited, man, I'm excited to see what you think of it. It'll be good to, and then you can make videos out of it on your channel and do a whole season one breakdown, season two. You're busy. I got like five projects that I'm running right now. You could do it. Oh yeah, I do it here. You could probably do it in like a 20 minute video. This is where people can find out. True, you could do it here and then clip it here and then put it on your channel. Well, second channel, probably. On the second one, yeah, second channel, Moola. The Sith are the archetypal shadow of the Jedi? Yeah, kind of, I guess. And that's what's interesting, is I would like to see a new villain that's nothing like the Jedi or the Sith, but more powerful. And I think that's where magic falls into play. I'll do it through the Force. You could, but I just think having a different element makes it so much more interesting. I just wonder if it gets a little out of control when you have magic as well and how to follow for the average viewer just. But the Force, which is essentially a magic system and then also a magic, you know, it can be a bit like. But there are rules to the Force. Like you can't freaking manifest an object like you can with magic. Oh yeah? But magic has no bounds. Have you seen the sequel trilogy, buddy? They can teleport objects through the Force. Yeah, I'm not talking about that shit. So no, with the first six films and the Clone Wars, there's obviously rules to the Force, which is what makes it dope. But with magic, there's no rules. You can do whatever you want. I mean, I don't even like. Resurrect the dead. Yeah, then what if they spam that? Doesn't that make things a lot less meaningful when we just bring back anybody at any time? The funny thing about controlling Force goes, you don't want that to get out of hand, because when any of your favorite character dies and they're just like, yeah, they'll be back in a sector. Yeah, but see, that's where they could make a cool distinction would be if they're using magic, then those beings are like zombies. They're not really like, they're not really there. It's just their corporal form. But then with the Force, you could actually bring them back. Okay. That'd be cool. What if you combine both? Oh shit. What if you combine magic and then you bring back the body and then you bring the Force in, so you bring back their soul? So you'd need a Force user who has magic as well. I'm gonna get too complicated, is it? What about a thing? Who's also a Mandalorian? Oh no. They can fly. They have a lightsaber gun. That'd be great. It shoots lightsabers. They spin. It's also an Inquisitor at the same time. Oh yeah, you can watch Rebels as well. Is that gonna happen? Nah. You can skip that one. Everyone's gonna be like, no, he's toxic. Star Gryfft episode two, Attacking the Funny Bone. Star Gryfft is too generic a name. Y'all should call it something more Star Warsy, like Rule of Two, a Star Wars podcast. Well, I already had that. I like Star Gryfft. I respect that. If you don't get the joke, a lot of the weenies out there call us Scrifters. They say we're not real Star Wars fans, and we're just doing it for money. Yeah, and it's like, we're both very interested in Star Wars, and we both come from different parts of the internet. I haven't really talked to them, but they're both hyper-Gryfft, it's kind of funny to think up on that. Yeah, it's awesome. I love it. So when he said it, I was just like, that's actually epic. There's way too much toxicity in Star Wars. I think that's what we really need to unite. The fan base is a Riva and Rose trilogy. KK probably. Yeah, that's just one dollar waiting to happen. Right there, there you go. Yeah, for sure. Thank you. This is really 10 people, we'll go to see that. Where'd you get that mask? Looks like something from Bionicle. Why is your nose a keyhole? Across the artist. They first came up with it, and then all the fan art has come since. I barely had any control over my avatar. Do you know what I, I never realized your nose was in keyhole. Those are memes of people like unlock it and different things happen. This is the, I never hugely cared about what avatar I had. And so when people started like messing around with it, I just started, you know, using them and what it ended up with. Spooky Eldritch creature apparently who looks at film in detail. Fine with me. Yeah, it works. Yeah. It's different. Love the early streams in Ireland, so it's so much easier. Thanks, long man. Theory, bought Black Series Force FX, Vader Saber, very disappointed opinions. Yeah. I don't know why you would waste your money on that. And you know, the Black Series Force FX Sabers are, this, this is four to $500. This is shit. Look at this. Cool, exactly. Oh, there you go. It turns on now. What is this? Like, this is four, 500 bucks. It doesn't even have smooth swing. Scarbage. You know way more about good versus bad sabers apparently than I do. Yeah, I mean, I have no idea why that would be a good old bad one. To be honest with you, I'm just I don't look alike to you. Or rather a Doc Saber. How do I turn this off? Dammit. My fucking lightsaber will spin. How do you turn it off? Oh, geez. You know, fucking like, oh, here we go. Idiot Padawan Jedi who like, has that problem. Have you turned it off? God damn it. Yeah, we're good. All right. Yeah. So this crap, $400, $500. Sounds like ass. There's no smooth swing. So smooth swing is like, if you move it like this slightly goes. Hmm. If you move it fast, it goes, hmm. Cool. It it responds just like how a lightsaber would. Sound card in there is shit. The blade is shit. The lights are shit. I mean, what is this? What is that? No. So yeah, that's why you got to go with a new pixel or something like that, which of course I sell, I make. Don't waste your money on Disney Disney sabers, man. They don't know what they're doing. And they put a massive premium on it. I mean, the fact that you can get literally something like this. Well, I think this one was roughly what I paid maybe about a thousand dollars or something like this one. That was a thousand. There was another one that was a thousand. But just night and day difference, completely different. What's up, PZ? What's up, Eric? What's up, George? Thanks for the memberships, guys. Ray's movie title revealed Ray Shadow Legend. You want to go on, I go on. Yeah, sure. OK. So, hey, Mola, could you reupload the part about logic and writing you cut out from part three of the TFA critique? It really inspiring to me. That is what I've talked about before as my like the favorite thing I've ever made in terms of like a particular part of any of my videos. It got hit harshly with copyright like a year after or so. I put it up and I've cut it out now and I'm going to remake it with different like music is going to end up in the in the future part. So apologies for that. I was going to try and upload it on its own, but I've been fucking it's been a nightmare of being busy. Yeah, I've had a couple of people notice like that part's gone. It's only like a one minute section of a two hour video. But it's a particularly poignant section that I was I worked a very long time on and it fucking annoys me that like it's clearly, you know, a creative work that's made of mashup remix review and commentary and that they're still like, well, that's mine now, but it'll be back. Going to catch this one on the replay. Ever thought of rev of reviewing legends books after the original trilogy and Luke's real journey? I'd love to hear your insight on them. That could be a little serious you and I could do. So legends books. Yeah, we could pick a book. We could listen to the audiobook if you want. Well, like a month. If we do, if we do in the Clone Wars, that's going to take like an ironically like a year. Let's just focus on that for now. Yeah. That's a God of War DLC. It's great so far. I just hate that it freaking starts you at the beginning every time you die. Broke like that's what that I hate it. I fucking love it. It's really good, but it just drives me insane. Yeah. We'll probably play it later tonight. I've been thinking about getting a gaming PC laptop and I want a few questions answered before I hit purchase. Do I need to buy a new graphic card every year or so? Are emulators legal? Thanks for your input. I can't talk in the emulators part, but no, you don't need a new graphics card every year if you get a good one. As far as I'm aware, you can get the emulators illegal themselves, but the what you get to play on them may not be, depending on how you acquire it. So be careful with that. Like, I'm pretty sure a lot of the emulators didn't dolphin get a release on steam and then it got taken off eventually because it was too risky or if it broke a law or something. I can't remember emulators in and of themselves. I think are okay, but it's when you what you use them for where the problem can lie. As for graphics card, it's just depend, you know, you get loads of information on how they out date, right? Eventually all that graphics cards become old. It's just how quickly they age. If you got in for staying on the top of the line forever, you need to change it out probably like once per four years. But I mean, most people shouldn't be doing that. Like you don't need to. I lasted on a, like the 1080. Oh yeah, dude. Yeah, thanks to you. Back in the day, like that lasted me forever. So like it really depends. I'm not familiar enough with PC parts to be able to give you strong advice, but there are loads of places you can find it like YouTube videos or forums and stuff. The people who have really good advice on being careful. Cause you should be careful when buying a, spending that kind of money, you know, on gaming PCs and stuff. But it's funny in my time, so to speak, when I was more into this sort of stuff, I don't know if it supplies to you as well. It was never a good idea to buy pre-built. But these days it kind of is. Oh yeah, no, I like to build mine. I custom build it. But why would you say it's better to buy pre-built? These days just because of the fact of people who are pre-building them now like people who are hyper familiar with the thing and then get you full customization and then they're responsible for anything that goes wrong. So like, you know, you as a consumer grade, sort of like construction, as much as it's really fun to build a PC, it can go wrong and then it's your fault and then it's difficult to get it like sorted in a lot of ways, buying paste wrong and putting wrong plugs in different places and stuff. But if you get it through a pre-built place and they can tell you what issues they may or may not be depending on your voice of parts and you can move things around well before you've actually got it delivered. Yeah, I found a really good computer place that I now trust I've been going to for the last five years or so and they've been building my PC each time and it's a good job. Yeah, it was a cyber power build for the last one. I really value the GPU. I think graphics card is extremely important. So make sure you grab a good one and you know, good RAM and all that. What's up, Sub-Zero? Oh yeah, we're doing this back and forth for him. I don't know, sometimes lose count. Sub-Z is up to you. Excited for more sports away because Critique Park 5 hoping we out soon. No promises, but that's a series of videos I've been making for like four years. There's only six parts in total, so we'll add eventually. Anyone ever seen Freddie got, what? You never heard of that movie? No. No? I only asked before because I just watched it. I think I've been forever changed. What did I just, what? The really, really strange film that people still wanted to this day, how it got made, especially for the budget it had, but hey, yeah, it's funny. From what I remember anyway. At least I've seen, I've either seen it or I've seen reviews of it. I can't remember anymore. All right. Any thoughts on what Marvel will do with Kang now? Doubt. Doctor Doom, yeah. Yeah, I guess that the question is would they recast him or boot him? My assumption is boot because they can introduce a Doctor Doom or Galactus or a... Probably. What's up, Jesus? In the Canon book, Aftermath, Life Debt, chapter 14, the reference, the plot of the Acolyte show. Really? I'd love to make a video on that. Check it out. Take a photo of it. Check that out. All right, love of the stream. The Tarby and the Star Wars fan these days, not just with the management under Disney, but when icons like Mark Hamill act hateful online of those who don't agree with his politics. Yeah, I'd say it's real difficult being a Star Wars fan, trying to stay invested and positive when given this. And then the meta discussions and management decisions are all just like, ugh. Yeah. Tough, yeah. It is, for sure. What EU books does Mahler need to read and what does he absolutely need to avoid, have fun gifting his hours? What's up, Eric? Thanks for the super chat. I would say probably Plagueis and the Bane Trilogy. It's the ones I would really consider. What ones would you tell me to avoid? I don't know, really. Because I don't, there hasn't been one that I don't really like. I kind of stopped reading the Obi-Wan book. I think that was called, what was it called? Chat, do you guys remember, Padawan or something? Brotherhood was Anakin and Obi-Wan. Maybe it was not when I stopped reading. Yeah, anyways, but no, just, I think you would really enjoy Plagueis. I think you would really, really enjoy Plagueis a lot. It's never a dull moment in that one. What about Austin Powers? I'm sure everyone likes it. Yeah, we, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, would you rather decanonize, yeah. Would you rather decanonize the sequels but canonize Spaceballs into the Star Wars universe instead or leave it rather be Happy Star Gryft? Thank you. And decanonize the sequels but canonize Spaceballs into the Star Wars universe instead. I mean, just decanonize it, right? Canonizing Spaceballs would be funny, but I don't think it would be the best idea. I'd canonize Spaceballs. She's going from suck to blow. At this point, I would canonize it if we couldn't decanonize the sequels. Fuck yeah, funny as hell, bring it in. Yeah, why not? I'm like, you're going to pick up the true lies, aliens, abyss, and Titanic on 4K. What's great is not only is true lies and abyss are coming to 4K for the first time but also on Blu-ray for the first time. Abyss has the special edition too. You know, I haven't seen Abyss. Pretty badass. True lies and aliens for me, definitely. Abyss and Titanic are like a tear down from them. But I still like them, in terms of James Cameron. And yeah, that's awesome that they've been released on 4K. I've got more movies in a month. And fucking good transfers as well, not shit. I'm going to do a little plug here. Do we have 2,600 people here? If y'all could hit the like button, that'd be great. Do, are any of you interested in psychology at all? I have a major guest coming, what is it? I think it's the 5th of January, 6th of January. It's Sadia Khan. So she's going to be coming on my psychology and relationship channel called Theory Talks. So if you're interested in that, make sure you go keep an eye out for it or find the clips on social media at Theory Talks YT or YouTube. So save the date and ask her questions over there on Theory Talks channel for her. So I can ask her when we do the video, the collab. What's your thoughts on the Zax 300? Funny enough, that's going to be, we've got a video for that on January 1st that's coming out, but I enjoy plenty of it. There's a goofy film, lots of goofy things that happen and it's like a fun, just romp through crazy action stuff. I enjoy the action scenes, but that film, there's plenty in it that I completely forgot. I didn't realize that it was in it. Plenty of strange Zax Snyderisms and the way it's shot is so remarkably unique. It makes sense to me completely that it like, sent him over to other projects and stuff. I don't dislike 300 significantly, but I think my opinion of it went a bit down from being like, oh yeah, it's an awesome movie to like, yeah, I like it. It's just, yeah, it's a little bit silly. Yeah, it was definitely silly. I mean, the way he portrayed the Persians was, I think, I think there were some levels of disdain there or is there, had to have been something, yeah, for sure because the way he made them look was just like an absolute, like weirdo, perverted, bizarre, strange. I mean, they were one of the most advanced, illustrious ancient empires in civilization and he just made them look like a complete joke. For example, Xerxes at the time was Zoroastrian and Zoroastrian, it was completely against a religion to have any sort of piercing, yet you have fucking weirdo Xerxes, like you got piercings up his butthole. I mean, and like makeup and all this shit. It was just so weird to see that. It's like, hey, this dude clearly does not like Persians for whatever reason, but yeah, hey, fair enough. He was adapting the graphic novel, right? He wasn't doing the director from history. Even the graphic novel was just, when you're having something that takes kind of a page out of the history books, it's always a little strange. Like, okay, well. Well, I guess you're gonna have to complain. Kind of made them look like freaks. Frank Miller, I suppose, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, Frank Miller, fuck, yeah. Oh well, is what it is. Theory check out Bounty Helmets. He makes some wicked clone helmets, mainly 501st helmets, be good to add to your collection. Yeah, well, I actually started wanting to, I wanted to start making helmets as well and sell those, but like unique ones and maybe a little more affordable, but I'm trying to find a good creator. I think that would be sweet. I think Bounty Helmets was one that I was referred to, but I was trying to do some stuff with 1.6J and he makes some really unique figures. So, we'll see what happens. Right now, all my money's kind of tied up in the Sabres and Theory Sabres in the next batch that we're gonna do. Gary's in chat. You should have him on some time. Gary's in chat? Where? Have we spoken to him yet? I don't know if I'm gonna cross him. Of course, yeah, dude. He came on the channel once a while ago. We raised, I think it was like 70 grand or something like that for St. Jude's. Yeah, yeah, it was him, it was Ryan, it was Jeremy. It was, you know, the typical grifters of the intro, the toxic ones. Yeah, all the horrible pieces of shit, you know. Yeah, all the, yeah, all the right wing extremist assholes, right, you know, all of us there. So, yeah, hey. No, I like Gary. I'm all of thoughts on Dune Part II. Oh, we've only got the trailer, right? I can't wait to see how this story is going to connect. Like, obviously I'll be watching one and two together best I can, you know, the rate of theater, sort of thing. I wasn't as fond of the first part as a lot of people were. I felt like I wanted more from it than I got, but I absolutely adore the way it looks. Like, I love, I found it quite easy to escape and it's like a new world. I think we kind of needed something like that. And we still do more, more content like that. So I'm hoping Part II with Part I will make for a story that I like and better feel is coherent and stuff and complete. Yeah, I feel like Part I was really just getting started. I liked it though. You know what I really want to see is the next Tron. Well, is there any news on that or are they just? Yeah, yeah. I don't know anything about any new Tron. Yeah, the casting already. Yeah, cool. I want to see Mace back and start with me too. What about Gareth Edwards? Rogue One was great and the creator was super superior good. Who did they fire? Is he going to have any chance to come back to Star Wars? I think he didn't leave on great tomes, right? Did he not? I don't know. I just know that he got replaced by Tony Gilroy, right? For Rogue One. I can't imagine they're all great tomes, but I would take Gareth Edwards' attempt at a film from him for Star Wars, sure. Yeah, why not? If he wants to make his own stuff, go ahead. I think he was extremely responsible for the Vader scene at the end from what I heard. I remember what I read about that. I could have sworn it was like some, I want to say like a janitor or a stagehand or something. I could have sworn someone who wasn't mainly in charge came up with the idea, but I could be completely wrong. Someone in chat might know. Oh, yeah. Well, I just know that the director of the first episode of my fan film was, I think, trained by him and he was telling me how he came up with, I think it was Gareth, I think it was Gareth. What's up from Desk Till Dawn? Besides Disney and Lucas, who in film would you give Star Wars over to, if not fix, then to Shepard Ford? I'd have to go with Guillermo del Toro. He has vision. He cares for creature design and storytelling and respecting it. I like that as a suggestion. Who would you have? Film in total. That's a tough one, Star Wars. You know what? I don't know if he could do it. I'm sure he could do it, but I love his movies. I'm just gonna say Quentin Tarantino. I happily watch a Quentin Tarantino Star Wars film. I just don't know. First of all, I don't think he would want to, but secondly, like, I don't know what, like only Quentin Tarantino Star Wars films going forward would do. I feel like it would change Star Wars completely. Maybe Nolan, then Christopher Nolan. I mean, I don't think that would be outside of his- Safe answer. Possibility. Again, he would never touch Star Wars, I don't think. A lot of these directors are like that sort of, they see it the same as they see Marvel. They're just like, fuck that shit. Bull, it's like not art to them in some ways. Which is unfortunate. Maybe not anymore. It could be, yeah. Like, it's waiting, ready to be. Yeah. How about someone not so mainstream? But, done in for like, maybe like in Edgar Wright, I feel like he could do Star Wars. I know that he would still be considered somewhat mainstream, but he hasn't had any movies that have really struck the cultural consciousness while now. I don't know, trilogy really. He'd be down for Scorsese to do a mob film. In Star Wars, yeah, sure. Like a hut, like the huts. That would be fucking cool to see, because I just love to see what he would do. Even if it was horrible, I'd still love to see what he would do. Yeah, I think he'd do great. Would you do a watch party for Rebel Moon? I could, sure. You like? Yeah. I'm definitely gonna be covered it way. I'm sure you should do. Why not? Do you think the qualifications or categories that make up a good movie change over generations? Example, younger people disliked bad CG more than bad writing, because it takes them out of the movie more. I'm not sure that's true. I'm gonna be honest with you. I feel like the writing is possibly the most important thing for everybody. And when it's bad, a lot of people will start to wonder what is bad. They can start picking things that may not be. You know, like really bad CG. There's so many great films and TV shows in the world and in history that have terrible CG that no one really cares about anymore, because the show itself or the movie itself was so awesome. Yeah. But then, you know, like Ant-Man? I don't know if you saw some of the really shit CG in Ant-Man. Not the latest one. You want to talk about shit CG? We can talk about that Wolverine movie. Oh, X-Men Origins, Wolverine? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, those are these examples. When the movies themselves suck ass, I think a lot of people really highlight the bad CG or the bad special or bad, like even if there's a line of bad acting, fucking terrible. I think the problems all stem from the foundation being the script. Get that right. And I think a lot of people are willing to forgive a hell of a lot more. And I don't even think that's a generational thing. I think that's just been that way forever. Yeah, for sure. For storytelling, you know? You tell someone a good story, they don't even need to see visuals. Yeah. At all, it's in the story, but now you have Disney with all the money in the world making things that look extremely real with shit scripts, garbage stories, agendas that are just driving people away, because it seems forced. And now you have Bob Iger sitting there and being like, well, I think, you know, the storytellers have lost their way. It's like, dude, you're in charge of all these storytellers. Literally, like the finger points right back at you. I don't know what you're talking about. Delusional. Quick thoughts on the Clone Wars 2003 Clone Wars. Oh my gosh, dude, 2003 Clone Wars, I think, I can't say it was the best, but it just, it felt so different, much more raw, visceral, gritty, very much like, you know, kind of what the Clone Wars, I think, was like for a lot of people. It was actually kind of terrifying. And you see a lot more of the emotion within Anakin, I think, in the 2D Clone Wars in 2003, Gendi Tartarovsky, I never say his name. But it was, yeah, I really liked it. I remember watching it on my Tube TV when I was a kid. It was a 13 years old, it was awesome. That's something I think you would probably enjoy even more than the actual Clone Wars. Well, I mean, should I start there then? No, we should do. Let's do a poll. Let's see what people will think. Because that's much shorter, right? His run, the, he what the people think. I guess Ridley Scott could do a Star Wars film, maybe. Okay, let's see. Ridley Scott, yeah. All right, let's see, the poll is up. So go ahead and vote guys. Do you think Mahler should watch the 2D Clone Wars from 2003? Oh, jeez. My phone, but there's no, he was in the air. You can't choose, you're rigged, you're rigging it. What? You wanna watch the 2D one, doesn't you? This is democracy. Okay, 66%, 66% already at 2008 Clone Wars. No way, 66. But a Star Wars project. 67, 67 now. Yeah, okay. You wanna start with 2D? Cool, I mean, I think the Rags are bringing my coast on, you probably wanna see it anyway, so. Okay, yeah, let's start 2D. Two episodes a week. Two episodes a week, yeah. Cool, yeah. All right, that's fun actually. I haven't seen that in a very long time, so. Yeah, back to 66%, 500 votes. It's the duty to make sure it stays at 66%. They're just literally teetering it now. It's like it's going 66. Yeah, I know. Cool, okay, sweet, yeah. That's fun. Is this your, yeah, it's you. I listened to all of Timothy Zan's dance, like I said, Thorn Trilogy. Personally, I like the new ones a bit better. I hate, hate, how Thrawn, oh, I hate how Thrawn died in the OG and the real dumb Clone stuff. How are the Timothy Zan Trilogy? Is it, because I know that comes highly recommended, but I'm assuming there's some stuff maybe in there that's not great or. It's good. Some of it's really slow. Some of it's really dry and then it really picks up and you're like, oh wow, yeah, I remember now why I'm excited about this. And then it gets really slow. But it's good. You know, it's kind of a classic. You just kind of have to get through it. I'm going through the audiobooks once again. And there's some parts where I'm just like, you just don't wanna listen to this with the Wookiee stuff, like I mentioned last week. But besides that, yeah, it's fine. It's good. It's good, lots of, kind of where you wish the story would have gone, but you know, with a primary focus on Luke, Leia Han Solo, and other protect, and other, you know, new antagonists in there. So, all right, well. Why is this me, are you? I can't remember. I think it's the wrong one, right? Oh yeah, okay, yeah. Now that the EA deal is up, the Next Star Wars game should be open world and done by the team that did Red Dead 2. Oh dude, Rockstar, that'd be awesome. Tons of detailed story log. You can imagine an announcement like that. Rockstar doing the Next Star Wars game? I can't. I can't imagine it. I think Star Wars is too PG for them. Moreland, do you feel like One Punch Man was written as if it was just going for the worst possible superhero story and it basically satirization of modern narratives? I mean, I love One Punch Man, and I feel like the whole idea when making it was, let's do a story that shouldn't work. I think we can make it work, which is that a character that is so unbelievably powerful, he just can't be beaten, and there's no chance, like we're talking so powerful that a flick of the finger can just kill any enemy. And it's like, okay, so how do you make that interesting? And I think they did a fucking brilliant job. I really want to watch One Punch Man. Were you watching a Crunchyroll? I think, well, so I've only seen season one because I've been partially put off season two by a lot of people to Alibi. It's no idea as good as season one, and I love season one because it's like almost complete story. Yeah. So I'm not following it in real time. I just rewatched season six, I love it, but yeah, easy recommended. Okay, okay, yeah, I want to watch. Thanks, Sonny. That was a big super chat, appreciate it. Darth Chewie says, are you looking for an editor or for thumbnails for any of your channels willing to do free work trying to go roll my portfolio? Thanks, man, I'm not looking for anybody right now, but yeah, if you want to show me some of your work, feel free to tag me on Instagram, and if I like it, we can go from there. Rank the Lord of the Rings movies. Oh, shit, you should go first on this, I'd be curious what you think. Oh my gosh, it's been a minute since I've seen Lord of the Rings. I'm gonna say probably Twin Tower, or two towers, yeah, maybe Return of the King and then Fellowship. Damn, yeah, flipped. My favorite is Fellowship, then probably Return of the King, then two towers. Well, I have to watch them again and really properly read it, but. For anyone who needs like an in-depth reason, eight hour video coming out Wednesday, so you'll be able to see my reasoning for that, but like, yeah, Fellowship, I absolutely adore. I think that film is so fucking wonderful. Eight hour, crazy. You were shocked last week as you are this week with that. It's fucking crazy. Overall, my channel, people are like, why is he shocked about talking about a trilogy of movies that were incredible for eight hours? Why would that be a surprise? Well. How long did it take you to write that script? No, no, no, okay, so it's funny. I'm saying this as if I haven't done this in the past, which I absolutely have. It's not a scripted video. It is three people, well, not three, it's seven. People watching the film, commentating, and then that's cut up and the visuals are thrown in for all three of them. Oh, dude, okay, dope. Well, yeah, but to be fair, I have made videos. Like my TFA series is tossed like 12 hours, I think, so then that is all scripted, so. Yeah, well, yeah, that'll take forever. But no, if it's like that, that'd be sick. I mean, you and I can do stuff like that if we want to do something on movie bros. Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry. But I mean, you already have 50 million channels. When's your next podcast, tomorrow? Yes, actually, yes. The day after that will be at EFAP, the day after that will be Open Bar, the day after that will be Friday Night Tights, the day after that will be EFAP again, the day after that will be Catch Up for Open Bar, the day after that will be Stahlgrift. Drift Wars. Drifted. Drift Wars. Oh, geez. Am I the only one? Is this me? Whatever. I don't know. Who cares? Am I the only one who likes, whoever reads it. Am I the only one who likes the OP Raid concept? Make her scared of her power because she accidentally hurt killed people she loved and that's her nerf. You can even make that her arc temptation to go bad. OP Raid concept. I mean, there's this story to tell with what do you do with a person who has immense power? Like, and how do they control it? And what do they, do they feel like there's particular things they should be doing, like responsible? As far as I'm aware, that's what Ryan was trying to go for with Luke. Like a man with this much power, what does he do with himself? He recuses himself from the universe because he doesn't want to bubble and just like. Yes. You know, but then, yeah, like if we had control over Raid, that is one avenue you can take it, where her power is so great. I mean, Rise of Skywalker tries to play at it in like a clown way, where she does the lightning, you know? No, no. So yeah. I know. Chewie! Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha! Did you laugh? I laughed at the same of what happened. Dude, in my head, I was just like, ehhh, okay. I, I, I think she blew up Chewie, that's so funny. Fucking blew him up, dude. More, are you gonna do a critique series on the Rise of Skywalker and theory, how many episodes will Vader be? So as for me, that's a big maybe because by the time I finished TFA, I wouldn't mind going to Rise of Skywalker, but I think by then the Rey move will be out and I imagine people might want coverage of that instead. Ha ha ha! Yeah. Ha ha ha! Uh, yeah. Yeah, how many episodes will Vader be? Three episodes in total. So we've got one out already. You got two cinematics, so you have two more episodes remaining. And once the second episode is out, the third one will be out much faster. You're gonna have to wait another like five years, so probably at most a couple of years. At most. Will we still be grifting the stars in five years? Yeah, if we both like it, yeah, why not? It says, I'm only getting door, I'm not locking you into anything. Yeah, I mean, dude, I'm down, I mean, I'm probably gonna be here for a while. To be honest with you, my plan is to continue to make Star Wars videos whenever I feel like, but my Theories Tales channel, I'm really vibing with that, I'm really enjoying that. So I think it's really going to take off. It's already doing quite well. Yeah. The interesting part about that channel is that it's not attached to any sort of popular IP, so it's not really like getting any leverage from something that's already extremely popular and has a fan base. So it's kind of a shot in the dark a little bit for me compared to what I'm used to for the most part, but it's doing quite well, to see your passions, right? That's the important part. I really like storytelling, I really like writing stories, making stories and just making shit up and not being confined to anything. And that's what I love about YouTube, but also even more so when it comes to making content, like still confined within the Star Wars universe and the rules, but when it comes to writing my own stories, I can do whatever I want. So from there, I'd like to release my own books and publish some of those stories and with like a hardcover or softcover or something and then yeah, it could be fun. Yeah, why not write my own books, just travel the world, write stories, be cool. So that's where I, and then turn those into animations and turn them into movies and turn them into books, that's what I wanna do. But yeah, I mean, obviously, but this podcast that we have going, it can also morph into literally a discussion about everything which it kind of already sort of is. Like we're talking about Marvel, DC, Lord of the Rings. Already a media podcast. Yeah, whatever, yeah, literally a media podcast. So it's not beholden to just Star Wars. So hope you guys are cool with that chat, but yeah, it's takes a life if you take it. Are you gonna do a critique? Oh, you're right, I'm gonna write this. I, you too, could give advice to new creators. What would it be? Do you recommend multiple uploads a day? Yeah, I do. I mean, I'm gonna go a little more fundamental. Just be like, you too, fundamentally, make sure you stick to the stuff you really, really care about and make sure you're being completely honest, right? Like don't, a lot of people chase trends. They're like, I gotta talk about this thing, even though I don't care about it. I don't know anything about it, but I know it's the thing I gotta talk about. Fans can see right through it eventually and it'll damage me. Grifting? I'll have it. I mean, you could call that grifting, I guess. Like. Wait, what is, I still don't know, I'm gonna Google this while you talk. Go ahead. I don't know what you're thinking of either. Yeah, so if you just, you know, you're like, I gotta talk about everything to do with everything that relates to this thing that I'm actually interested in. To the point where you like, don't care, it'll be awkward and a mess. Just yeah, stick to what you care about. The thing for me is upload as much as you make as opposed to taking to a particular schedule, which is not necessarily good advice for success. It's just I'm much more invested in you being the creative that you want to be to keep you creating stuff as opposed to, there's a lot of people, a lot of YouTubers get killed by the grind that they attempt to like become a part of and you know, avoid. I'm always asked how to avoid burnout and a lot of it is like, you really have to stick to the things you really care about. I don't know about you, theory, but like there are projects I've done where I'm very passionate and then it's taking me so long that eventually it starts to weigh and then something else I'm super passionate comes up and I'm like, ah, fuck. I wish I could almost transfer the motivation for that thing back into the thing I'm not quite done yet with, but happens. Yeah, for me, I built a whole bunch of pretty successful channels at this point and I've just applied the same sort of formula and that's just to, literally as Mahler said, focus on content that you like. So when it comes to Star Wars, I reached about a million subscribers and became the biggest Star Wars YouTuber in the world within about a year and surpassed everyone else who was already having a channel for four or five years plus. Simply on the premise of doing something out of the box, like I was the first channel that I knew of that added music to my videos and I selected very carefully what the music was. I did really out of the box fan fiction, some that were really violent and vicious and weird, some things that people would maybe find to be too out there, I did that, I did the voices for comics, I brought them to life instead of just kind of explaining what was happening. I sort of acted them out shittily and that's something that kind of set me apart. But at the end of the day, it was really just about me focusing on the particular comics that I wanted to cover, the particular fan fictions and the characters that I wanted to cover, the lore of certain characters I wanted to cover and that's what kept me really passionate going forward instead of just focusing on what was topical or trending and to this day, I still keep up with that motto. It's like, I really enjoy covering the behind the scenes books. Sometimes they don't even crack 30,000 views. But I enjoy making them, I enjoy covering them. They make me excited, they make me happy and I think if you have a happy content creator, then the content itself is going to be, there's always going to be a target market for that. There's always going to be an audience for that. That's really going to enjoy that level of energy you bring and that grows and it snowballs. It's like a little snowball that starts and you roll it and it gets bigger and bigger and bigger and by the end of it, you have a very big fan base. Keep in mind why you started then as well, whenever, same thing I imagine me in theory, the reason we've had so much coverage of Star Wars is because we fucking love it. Yes. At its best. Keep that in mind. When you go down the road of constantly covering things you're hating, try and make sure you keep an eye on your passions for why you're so invested in more of a positive sense. You want to become a machine that just turns shit into entertainment. But to an extent, that's still admirable I think. Something people need a lot for how things are going. Just make sure you yourself stay whole for lack of a better word. Right, yeah. So many people always, they see the success that YouTube brings and they want that but they don't see the actual grueling years of every single day and every single night of the time that's put into it and the content creation, the editing, the software, the programs, the machines that you have to buy and continuously keep up to date. The level of shit that you have to take online and still move forwards and not even paying no mind to it just bounces off and there's a level of fortitude that comes with all of that content creation. So for me, I literally just worked every single day for I'd say the first two years I worked relentlessly. I did not really stop. I didn't really have breaks or anything like that. And then after that, I kind of chilled out and found my rhythm a little bit but the first two years, yeah, I did sometimes three uploads a day, sometimes four uploads a day and I edited everything myself and it's really just a love of your craft. You have to work really hard for it. So if you have, if you want it bad enough then you'll get it. That's really all I have to say about it. One of the few careers, I say it like one of the few sectors of careers I would say that nobody preps you for thousands of people wanting you like gone. It's a very unique experience. And you're just like, no, nobody prepares you for that. That's something you just get with a job if certain things happen in certain ways. And the same value, you know, a lot of people don't prepare you for the fact that thousands of people will love what you do which is another crazy feeling with the job that you have. So, you know, I think, I don't even know if there is now there probably is like university courses for becoming a YouTuber but they would need to be a section on like when you get a thousand death threats, don't panic just people being asshole. So, it's not real. Well, it's funny because I laugh at those now because it's so such a thing that after almost eight years, it's everything's been said to me. Everything's been tried towards me. It's another day in the books. For me because I come from the good old and I imagine you might be similar but everyone references it like the Halo 3, Mon Wolf are two lobbies. They were filled with the worst possible shit one could say to each other because that's kind of the competition. That's what it was back then. So moving from that to the internet, having someone say like, I wish you were dead. They'd be like, come on, you can't come up with any funny than that. That's it. That's all you got, all right. But then other people who'd never experienced like the worst of the worst get like genuinely terrified by stuff like that. God, no, no, no, no. They're trying to rile you up. They just want you to be like afraid. Oh, forget that, man. I see some new content creators I'm friends with and they get bent out of shape over someone being like, your content's shit. I'm like, you're not going to make it. You're not going to make it at all. The more and more popular you get, the more people want you to die. People want you to go down flames because people don't like to see you do better than them. They don't want to see you. At the end of the day, it all stems from their insecurities of wanting what you have. Otherwise, if you didn't get under their skin, they wouldn't give a shit. No one cares. I'd literally look at some of you like, oh, he's miserable. Why am I going to try and put him down? What was it? No, it's envy. I was shit a tweet of someone being like, I fucking wish you would like, get like booed from this platform. Then he responded to them being like, holy shit, wow, like, why are you even spending time here? Like do with it. And then they responded to be like, what's the next video out by the way? I know, dude. I know it's weird. It's really weird being a content creator, but I love it. You know, you, on one hand, you get people being like, I'm going to kill your whole family. And then the other side being like, you know, writing you handwritten letters, pouring their heart out and being like, how much you saved their life or changed their life or whatever it might be. And you just got to keep focused. Yeah. Keep focused on what you want to do and let the noise drown out who cares. People are always going to talk shit. Doesn't matter. Let them talk shit. Don't give a shit. I'm here. I'm showing up every day. Maybe Elon will buy Star Wars. It would be better. I write a copy of this that it currently is right now. Can't be worse. It's full of X-Wars. He'd probably call us up, man. He'd probably be like, hey, you guys want to talk about Star Wars? He'd be like, yeah, dude. Yeah, fuck it. How do you balance people doing weird shit randomly in real life with barely any reason behind it? You critiquing character motivation. Not sure what they mean. How do you balance people doing weird shit? Oh, are they saying like, when you're judging character consistency, how does that compare to people in real life who do randomly crazy shit? The thing about real life versus fiction is that we're supposed to be given all the information we need to understand why characters take action. In real life, you know, if you come across some random guy on the street and he starts like running around naked and, you know, being everywhere, you'd be like, well, there's probably a lot that explains why he's doing that that I don't know about. For real, whole life, he's live. That's the point of fiction is we're supposed to understand all the elements for why we're seeing what we see. Yeah, no, I agree. It's, you know, when you're watching a movie or some source of media, you just like, there needs to be like some back story. So like, okay, like why is this character like this? So you're looking at it from a different point of view, whereas on the street. What makes it an account of events? It's just a fucking crack head, like who cares? Because if film, if like Star Wars was just, you know, a series of one minute clips of random people in all of the universe doing random shit, it wouldn't be a story at that point. That's just stuff. No, it would just be like, you have a webcam somewhere on like different locations, like who cares? The point of a movie is to have, you know, A to Z and then what happens in this gap between A and Z, you know, and there has to be a whole bunch of development and tumultuation or if that's the word tumultuous. Why didn't they make just Revenge of the Sith? Why do they have those other two? It's like, well, so that we understand better why everything happens in Revenge of the Sith. Way forward. Why do we have the Clone Wars? Why do we have this and that? It enhances the story, enriches the story. Y'all are gonna get the vid, this info tag because Mahler said vaccines don't matter, they don't heal the, when did he say this? No, wait, what? They're talking about what I was talking about, fucking, what was the, the last of us? I wasn't talking about real life, like I was. Ah, fuck. Because everyone was dead in the last of us universe. It's like a couple of pockets of humans left. I didn't mean like fucking real life vaccines. We can fucking argue it. It's all right, dude, we're fucked. Only we'll get it, bro. Oh yeah, for sure. You guys should watch Backstroke of the West on YouTube. It's Revenge of the Sith parody, pretty funny. Yeah, I've been recommended that a couple of times. As far as I'm aware, it's like a badly translated set of subtitles that are made into like audio and it's hilarious, so yeah, I think it's, we should check that out or something. You read the next one, I'll bring it up right now. Be honest, there's no fixing the Disney stuff. I mean, like I said, first thing I would do is decanonize rather than fix. But I mean, even if we were forced to, I still think we could bring it back. I think there's no amount you can destroy a franchise you can't bring it back from because you can always rat gone. How are you always? 11 million views. It's like a movie, right? It's Revenge of the Sith, or how long is it? Two hours and 20 minutes. Yeah, I've, people have been recommending this since we started up EFAB. What is this? As far as I'm aware, it's Revenge of the Sith, but then the language has been poorly translated and then that language has been read out. Like, so it, you know what I mean? Like it completely changes the movie. Oh yeah. Oh my goodness, like a dialogue scene. Yeah, ship with the general in place ahead. Yeah, see. Wait, what? You haven't did not notice he wanted to block it. Wait, don't show me this. I wanna get like all of it recorded for like a thing. I got a fast forward to this, hang on, hold on. You make out quite good. This is what I mean, I'm on the hook. I don't wanna see it yet. I wanna save it for like a fucking watch. Just mute it, just fucking mute it. Yeah, I wanna see it right now. Wait, we could do it, that's the point. We should do like a... We could, but... We should do like a full coverage thing of it. I wanna watch it in a few minutes, man, fuck. I wanna see this. Tubebity is not just a prisoner. I should not kill him, this not agree with. This very nature. He hewed away your hand. You also kill, certainly, he revamped. The business of Avengers is very familiar. It works better when you know the original. Remember you two have ever told me your mother's? Still, there are those pathetic people. We must leave here now, otherwise, stay all at worry. So I don't get it, where's this dub from? I'm not sure, is it in the description, maybe? See how recent media coverage has been in this video, big boot, okay? Back to English translate subtitles, bootleg. Oh my God, is this fucking Chinese to English? Have you never heard of this? I've heard of it like a billion times. Dude, I've never heard of this shit. This is hilarious. We should do a EFAP recording with you for this. Yeah. Because we can sort of copyright that as well, it'd be funny. That'd be hilarious. No, I always wondered how Obi-Wan didn't get his pelvis just absolutely demolished. It's weird when Dooku drops that on him because you're like, wait, what did that just do? It's like, yeah, he's just kind of out of the fight. It's like, I'm pretty sure that would literally cripple him. He didn't use fire. Gold. What the fuck? How do they get that from leave him or we'll never make it? Gold. He big in nothing important and good elephants. Do not take care of him, otherwise, and too late. We can't throw down him. His fate will be the same as ours. We can't throw down him. Fuck, I want to keep going through this one. It's too good. That's amazing. Oh, I didn't know that existed. We should do one for all of them. I don't know if they exist for the others, but they should. We should make them. We should make them ourselves. Imagine just sitting there recording the whole movie from the lines. That'd be great. Yeah, it'd be funny. There's no fixing this. Raise outfit, who the hell saves the galaxy in freaking Caprice? Why the daily arm wraps from waist? Yeah, that was weird. I feel like they could have done something with that, you know? I did. They made it or something. Good beige coloring and then dark coloring and then light coloring. Three movies, because that's how you do Star Wars. You make their character change colors based on whether or not they're light set or not. OK. Got it. OK. Or I would have just not made the Disney films to begin with everything else is fan fiction, baby. Yeah, like I said, my my first move would be decanonize. First move would be go fucking back in time and stop the deal. But like it's sometimes we just can't do. Just show up. No, stop. George, seriously, who are you? George, it's not going to turn out everything. Everything blows up. I'll do it. Bob is like, what are you talking about? We're taking his treatments. We just bought them. No, shut up, bitch. You're going to throw this in the trash. Oh, how could you say such a thing? George, we're going to use these. Yeah, what? You're asked with it. How would a conversation with all the strongest sit throughout the history go if they sat down together and discussed all their accomplishments and failures? They'd probably make fun of each other and kill each other. They'd probably kill each other. They'd probably have a fight. You guys know why Star Wars is gay, because Disney can't keep anything in it straight. I still want tales of the Sith. Me too. You guys also told me about an episode of Andor maybe once a month. It'd be interesting to hear you back and forth. Also, TCW, you should do an arcs. All right, well, we'll do everything. OK, we'll get it. I know what's going to be hilarious is when Andor II comes out and we have these every week. Yeah, yeah, I'm up for that. And then I'm fucking trending again for, I don't know, like paper cups or something. I don't know. Some new shit that's going to come out. Yeah. Yeah, let's just finish the Clone Wars first and then we'll. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we'll move on to it. Very best to watch that. Do you all think it would be? It'd be cool to get a VEDA horror slasher movie. I personally need a more spooky, spooky man VEDA. A movie with VEDA hunting down Jedi like it can work. Definitely work. Yeah, it works, but I don't necessarily need it to be super rated R slasher. But I would be down for it, for sure. Smaller, I tried that flick heart thing you mentioned yesterday and it broke my brain. I've never had to consider if I enjoyed Jumanji or Mean Girl more. So flick chart is a website that presents you a series of questions, movies. So it'll be like, what's better? Star Wars or Indiana Jones. And then if say you pick Star Wars, it says, OK, what's better, Star Wars Lord of the Rings? Pick Star Wars and something like that. Oh, got it. Star Wars, you know, it'll randomly present you just questions and then it starts to create you your own ranking system that'll give you like what you think are the best and worst movies based on your reasons and stuff. Right. And then you just keep giving me questions and it's like a game. But eventually you get to see your own rank. So so. Yeah, cool. But you do some questions that are fucking impossible to answer, like what's better? Unforgiven or aliens. Oh, man. I have a question. Take a little tick tock. So you do like the head thing. Oh, yeah, I guess so. Yeah. Hey, Therian Mahler, Christmas has come early now that you're collabing. We will watch your career with great interest. Oh, thank you very much. Do I not have that one? Man. Surprise, to be sure. But it works. I got a sworn I did. There's a lot of prequel memes. Yeah, there's a ton. I've been looking forward to this. So don't watch Clone Wars chronologically. Look up a guide on Google. I regret not doing that until halfway through the series. I know his characters that I saw dead or in prisons were alive and out. Great chance. Yeah, see, this is what I remember being told by somebody that chronologically is not like that's not the way that you watch the show, at least not in terms of how it was released. You need to see it. Like there's this past infusion. I don't know. They got it got garbled on release or something. I'm not sure at least some of the earlier scenes, maybe not like season six and seven or whatever. I don't know. I don't remember anything being weird or out of place. But an episode or a guide. Oh, man. Yeah, same. You guys are really into that, eh? Throwback to when Mahler was a skull. Well, what? The the avatar, as you see it now, is a bit more highly rendered. Like my earlier versions of the avatar were like it looked like a skull with two wheels on the side instead of filters on a gas mask. I was fine with that. That's the icon for the mullet channel, second channel, little skull on wheels. That's hilarious. That's awesome. Should have kept it that. Should make a t-shirt with it. Do you sell merch? I gave it a shot at some point and I need to get back to it. I spent all my days just working. So instead of like set up stuff like that, you're probably the better businessman than I am. Let's put it that way. Takes like 10 minutes just. I know, that's why I'm like responded with a lot of stuff. Put a link and that's it. People keep asking us like, are we gonna make audio versions of the EFAP podcast we've ran down for nearly six years? And I'm like, yeah, I'll do it at some point. Yo, you should put those on Spotify. Exactly. That would be amazing. Yeah, dude, like. I think there are. You can find like the first half of the full set of episodes on it because someone did it eventually. Here, go sink almost seven figures into a fan film and you'll become a businessman yourself. No, I know, that's the thing. If I was trying to create a project like UI, probably would be much better to make a motion stuff. But like I said, I'm just trying to make a video about media. Yeah. Oh, I'm gonna read this on me. Okay. You can go for it. This has been by far one of my favorite new podcasts infused with more humor instead of negativity when discussing rough Star Wars moments. Your personalities are a healthy contradiction. Congrats, Jim. Nice to. Oh, thank you. Yeah, I gotta say, yeah, I feel really comfortable. This is like our third one together. It is a chill podcast. I'll say at least. It is, yeah. Yeah, feels really good. Was your new theory saver a beta or final? No, that was a one off. That was a final. We'll never do that design again. So it was more of like a unique piece compared to something like super illustrious, magnificent, like dual worthy. There's more of just like a very like unique looking thing. Sharp looking thing. But the story behind it was that there was a survivor who ended up crashing on an ice planet and he used, he had to construct it this way. That's why it looks like that. So it can, it looks like it's out of place in the area to construct this back piece to it so he could slam it into glaciers and climb. Hail theory in Mahler. How about the something like a book club with Ryan Kinnell once a month? They can't get enough of us, eh? Everyone's like, everything was always like, well, yeah, maybe. A book club. Yeah, it'd be fun. More of you have played the Battlefront VR game. No, I've played very little VR, but a couple of friends who play VR, it's fun as fuck. So I wouldn't mind trying it as much. That's very fun. Kevin Conroy's last performance is in Justice League? Are we, are you talking about the Suicide Squad news? Yeah, that's cause that Batman is voiced by Kevin Conroy in that game. So the fact that he's getting executed by, that's another reason I think the fans are really pissed off. I'll see how that goes. Revenge of the Sith novelization, my personal favorite EU book. It makes a lot of references to CWMMP, pre-W era Clone Wars, so I counted as an EU book, I reckon. Hmm, all righty then. Revenge of the Sith novelization, my personal EU book, it does. The Revenge of the Sith novelization, yeah, I got to interview Matthew Stover and he was quite smart, quite insightful. And there was a lot in that book that really explains a shit ton that the film does not. And there's a lot that's different in there too. For example, you know, Anakin coming into the room to when he lands at Palpatine's office to see Mace fighting Palpatine. He like literally has to walk over the bodies. He's like the head of Kit Fisto as well as when they went to arrest Palpatine. It was really interesting in the book because Palpatine is literally being like, oh no, please don't kill me. And then he looks at them and winks. And he has a audio recording going and he has no video recording. So it's all audio recording. He's literally like killing the Jedi mercilessly. And he's like, please don't hurt me. I'm afraid for my life. And goes just slices them up. Like it just shows how absolutely insane he is. What story does he sell at that point? Who's the one that's killing all of them? What do you mean? Like if he's recording the audio, how does he say like is killing them in that room? I think he says that Anakin comes in and saves them. I can't remember. Yeah, when he's at the Senate, he's like, you know, left me scarred and deformed. Then he's talking about how Anakin gave his life. I resolve as never a big stronger. Yeah, he literally talks about how Anakin saved him and then died or something. The attendance on my life has left me scarred and it's all. Yeah, yeah, it was cool. Explain to a bunch of different things. You guys have ever seen Charlie Hopkins in this deep, fake reaction? Oh yeah, yeah, I've seen these. Drop one on the holiday special. Love his stuff. He does a great talking. Yeah, yeah, I saw some of his Gandalf ones. They were funny. He's a talented guy. Thank you to whoever shouted me out. Theory, I would love to send you a helmet. Oh, of your choice, bro. And I'll make it for you much love from the UK. Oh dude, that'd be amazing. I will hit you up on Instagram right now. Thank you for that. A bit of a commitment to get the payoffs, but Naruto, Uden, and Cash. Cash is an expertly on its setups. Even in regards to resurrecting cash. It's tough to pull off. Not many IPs can do it, bringing back characters that are dead or die. Like they have meaningful deaths and then also having them come back. It's a tough one. That's what Foscos, I'm assuming, were created to solve as a problem. There'll be one. Don't want to lose him completely. So yeah, you gotta be careful, careful balance, because the second you go too far, it makes death meaningful. You don't want it. Oh, he should, dude. His work is actually really amazing. The hell? Oh, that's crazy. Wow, okay. I bet you got his Rex helmet. Oh yeah? Yeah, wow. Nice, man. Yeah, I'd love to get something from you and maybe we can do some work together and sell some helmets. Custom helmets. That'd be cool. Oh, wow. Damn, that's nice. What? Oh yeah, I haven't seen Arato, by the way. Me neither. Oh, hey, guys, love to see you streaming together. What do you think about the idea of introducing a dark sider, maybe even an old Republic Sith who's not completely evil and maybe not even the antagonist? Yeah, I would love that. Like a Sith who's just, you know, doing something. Yeah, he's just like a badass, but he doesn't really take, so Balan, basically. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. WMMP era Clone Wars is the Clone War of the films. 2D, you could break into seasons there on an hour. Yeah, I mean, both things, you know, we'll have other things to talk about in the week. You're like only Clone Wars. Only that, no, it's just something to add in addition, but every week we'll have a new episode to review for you guys and then we'll hop on to actual Clone Wars. The Clone Wars. I've started Clone Wars. I'm up to season three. It's my favorite Star Wars. Yeah, season three is when it starts to get real good. What's up, Roland? I love you guys. We need an alternate episode of Reading Chats with something instead of this every other chat thing. Well, it's quite confusing. At least it's a figuring out who's reading next, you know. Should I just go? Should I speed through it? Commit to either you or me, I'm fine with it. Okay, you are, oh, I see, commit to you or me. Okay, so I'll read. Alrighty. I'll go for it. What is worse, the Hobbit trilogy or the sequel trilogy? The sequel trilogy. Yeah. On the anime side, y'all would like Chain Saw Man and Jujutsu Kaisen, a manga or anime of both, crazy great storylines. I don't know who that is. I'm not- Oh, Chain Saw Man. That's the dude with chain saws for hands, right? Yeah, I've seen Rafa System. I'm like, I don't know anything about the work itself. Me neither. I'd love to see Miguel Sapochnick be a showrunner and director for an old Republic-era TV show. Altered Carbon Season One by Miguel is legendary. He's always pretty, pretty badass. Yeah, I mean, you know, there's a lot of people I'd love to give a shot at doing stuff like this. I'm especially bored of the talent we've got currently working for, you know, Star Wars or something. With one exception. Yo, what up, Jared? How you doing, man? You know, yo, you know I had to pull up what's going on, boys. I'm getting my personal sandwich this weekend for my local deli. I'll give you my sandwich recipe next week. I believe everyone should have their own personal sandwich. I believe that too. I think that will be a better place. That makes the foundation of civilization out there. I would say so too. You know what I mean? Look at Subway Quiznos, you know, extremely successful based on sandwiches. You guys thoughts on the Office US? Also Moller to continue on the side character becoming the main character convo. Handy. Oh, they mean from the office. Have you not seen the office or? No. I haven't seen the office. Kind of remarkable in the sense that they did the UK vision, which was really solid and really popular. And then they make a US version, which these and one was a bit wonky because it was like a copy. And then they started to do their own sort of thing. And then it branched out and became, I think, better kind of than the UK one. The US office at its best was fucking funny as hell. Last two seasons, I think, weren't so great though. And then it sort of stops. But you know, it's kind of the cycle for a TV show like that. Yeah, I'd easily recommend the office. Actually fucking the episodes that they're trying to get rid of now, because they're too offensive and stuff. Oh, really? Yeah, there's a couple of them that make like race and sex jokes. They're really funny, but. What old Star Wars game would you guys like to see made into live action film and by force and leashed? That's, I'll go with a different, like I was bounty hunter, maybe from mangled on it. As much as I hate a dial a desk, and I don't think it was mangled fault. Disney's. Yeah, give me force and leashed one and two. And you know what, honestly, have Sam Whitworth direct it. Direct it and star. Oh yeah. I don't even know how what is directing is like. And if he can direct at all, but I think he's got vision and I think he knows where the story has to go. Got my friend a Ned action figure for a B-day. Cool. Sweet. Do I need to say something about the new short story, the chosen one which I loved? And I must say that it served as inspiration for a game I'm developing at some points. Cool. Awesome. Throw my name in the credits. And you guys kill it. It's my B-day. Thanks for everything. Happy birthday, Andy. Happy birthday. Star alien apocalypse now wars. Galaxy decimated technology gone. Artifact slowly rediscovered. Eldridge force whores. Glaciers, jungles, hurricanes, hardship. Oh ho ho, Merry Christmas. Cool. Do it. Thank you, book. Thank you, bookmark. That was a lot of, that was a lot to read. Didn't understand all. Please discuss the claim that woke film is an effort, oh here we go. Two hour conversation. Woke film is an effort to degrade the social bonds between men making a rebellion against a tyrannical regime impossible. So yeah, I mean, I typically would talk about that in great detail, detail. But YouTube is a little, I'm just, I'm selected with what I say. So with that, I'm gonna say that you know, I'll say this, you can take from it what you want or what you say, whatever you wish. I really miss the 80s and 90s action hero movies. Oh fuck yeah. I'm against pretty much any era, any generation putting forward their ideas in such a fucking lame and pathetic way that it completely annihilates any interesting storytelling. And I think the storytelling should focus on human nature before focusing on like, you know what? Like the new Doctor Who is like, you know what? Men need to learn something. They got a problem they need to sort out. This is like a fucking hell. Why can you make it about people? It's much more interesting. Yeah, fuck. Everything's man's fault today. Hey Thierry, do you think Cal Kestis and Maren will have a child and Jedi survivor three and Bode, Akuna's daughter will be trained to be a Jedi with Sears lightsaber? I think she'll be trained to be a Jedi and a witch. A Jewish. A Jewish. A wedi. Whoa. Have either of you watched Zangler's AI dubbed Star Wars? No, I have not. Nope. Don't know what that is. Ethan Hawke wants to be in Star Wars. Any ideas? No? Oh really? I want to be in Star Wars, where am I at? Yeah, fuck it. Let's just throw it. Fuck. Fucking. So special that Ethan Hawke. Love Jason. How do you think Anakin would have turned out if Qui-Gon never found him? Oh, he actually explains this in the, ah, the fucking, the legends book. Star Wars, Darth Vader, the rise of, Dark Lord, the rise of Darth Vader. He's actually at the Jedi temple and Vader's thinking about it. He's like, what if Qui-Gon never found me? And he would go on to be a world champion pod racer, number one in the world. And he would never understand his connection to the Force or why he's the best, but it's because of the Force. So, Bonnar had just joined Flickchart and it's asking me if Lion King or Alien is better. I don't know which we're going to choose. That's a tough one, Lion King and Aliens. This is what I mean, Flickchart's cruel. It makes you one of a kind. Lion King animated, I mean, yeah, that's tough. I just looked at, it's not a, I just looked at it's not a skull with two wheels. It's a car. I see wheels in the back now. Yeah, that's the icon for the Boola channel. It is a car, but it's a skull on wheels. It's like, what is it? The wonderful rendition. I can't see it. Well, not in this episode. Oh my guess, not in this one, the other one. Let me pull that one up. Fun fact, the Mace for City of Seen was filmed twice. Originally, he used Anakin Saber and you can see Anakin's Hilt if you go frame by frame. Yeah, so originally he used Anakin Saber because Anakin was actually there and he was supposed to give Palpatine his lightsaber to fight Mace with. You know why I know that? It was you. My videos. All right, cool. How strong is Darth Bane and will we ever see him in action? Probably not. He was very strong. Very, very strong, very powerful. Look up the thought bomb. Yo, Star Wars Theory, you need to start working on lore videos for your writing. Also get on CoverFly and submit your writing in competitions too. Bro be one, Kenobi. CoverFly and submit. Okay, no, I don't really want to do that. I'm enjoying making my vids just myself. But yeah, maybe. Thank you, man. CoverFly. Tales of the Jedi, Xarkun. Yep. Well, we could get an ancient Tales of the Jedi. That'd be neat. Well, that marks it for the end of the super chats and I know we're coming up to two hours here. Two hours, two and a half. Yeah. What do you feel like doing? We'll wrap it up. That's what I feel like doing. Would you ever kind of, I'm like, he's starting to read it really fast. So I'm thinking, would you ever consider playing Star Wars the Old Republic on stream, Mahler? It's so fun. Also, Clone Wars 2003 is only two hours. Well, I mean, that's where we're starting, right? But yeah, as for Star Wars the Old Republic, I'd like to play a lot of the Star Wars stuff. I mean, people really want me to play the Jedi, like Survivor and Fallen Order. Yeah, yeah. I wouldn't mind playing them just for the community aspect, right? Like just messing around with it and talking to people about Star Wars and stuff. Because I don't know how much I'll enjoy them myself as video games. I can be quite picky with video games in general. But I'll happily play, like, I fucking played Lord of the Rings, all of them. Do you know about that game? Just fucking, that was... Yeah, I know that fucking game. Yeah. I'll play, I'll play some video games on stream, yeah. I know that shit. Well, all right Chad, we enjoyed hanging out with you. Thank you for the stream. Make sure to check out my new channel that I created called Theories Tales, which is all fan fictions and all just sort of, yeah, bringing it all to life. Hello everyone and welcome. Ghoulish looking chosen one, yeah. Kind of a choice. Anyways, if you enjoy that kind of stuff, feel free to check it out. Make sure you check out Mahler's channel. We'll hear, he'll be uploading this podcast as well on Mueller, which is the second channel. So yeah, we love you guys. Welcome back to Mondays at three o'clock. You're good with this time? Yeah, yeah. All right, cool. Beautiful. So we will see you guys next Monday. Hope you all, with a review of our first two episodes of Clone Wars 2D. We love you guys. We hope you have a great day. Thanks for the super chats and we will see you next week. Peace.
