Adam Dolly What's going on guys, thanks for having me guys I really appreciate being on the show and I have to sing one song we're fast Han Solo Cup You fill me up. Let's have a part. Okay, that's a different thing. Anyway, now that I'm embarrassing myself my singing voice I'm excited to talk Star Wars because this is a childhood film for me and I absolutely adore this franchise. Let's get into it Yeah, guys, let's talk about Star Wars. I mean Star Wars is amazing. It's one of the best things that I think a lot of people get into and And that's one of the most incredible things about Star Wars is that in some way shape or form it Is it affected someone even if people aren't into Star Wars? It's somehow affected them in some way and I think I want to pose this to you and Adam since you're a guest This is where I want you to start where what was your first encounter with Star Wars? Was it a video game? Was it a book? Was it a movie? Was it a show? Like what what made you on your journey to loving Star Wars? I wouldn't okay. Okay. So this is when I was five years old my birthday actually received the VHS cassettes My birthday and so the first day I watched a new hope I popped it in and got sucked into that world of Star Wars and I couldn't wait to pop in the next one in the following night to watch Empire and then return to the Jedi and Then I just kept watching him over and over again and my very first action figure that ever received was the Han Solo in to stormtrooper Outfit with this removable helmet. I got it out of a box of fruit loops when I was a kid I you know remember that very big remember that a lot and then I used to collect all the toys and then re-enact the movies as they were happening on screen with the characters I actually owned and Remember just watching countless number of times and just fell in love with that trilogy and then I would went I went to 97 1997 the They got re-released into theaters for the special editions with all the new little added features here and there And I remember every single time they came out in theaters I would go with my dad and I would know that the crap out of him because I would lean over like dad. That's new Dad that's new right there. That's brand new. He's like shut up Just watch You're a nerd I get it But no it was so awesome actually see those movies on the big screen regardless of I cared for the special editions later On but I still watching them on the big screen was fantastic and just something that's always gonna be a stick with me And of course when 2001 hit when a kind of menace came out Absolutely needed to see that film and that was one of my favorite ones growing up until I re-watched the the older ones Again and then now I'm here knowing that Phantom menace wasn't as good as I remember it being but it's still When it's time I still yeah still go into the theater and you know watching it was Experience that there are there's so much fun to watch and I remember staying up When they were gonna drop the trailer for Phantom Menace it was on entertainment tonight when they dropped it and I remember staying up and What waiting for that trailer to pop and I just this was like oh my goodness had this big nerdy Excitement level all the way to a million and then I even like I collected everything I could even the soda cans like Like the Dr. Pepper Pepsi containers with I think the Star Wars characters on them I actually had those for the longest times with soda still in them like I even I moved with them and everything like I had And for like years until realized they were leaking soda on my bed because they were right above my bed So yeah, I kind of like Star Wars a little bit. So you can say a little bit that might be a little underestimated But I mean that's Star Wars and going back to the prequels we'll get into that I think there's a a lens over everyone's face, especially depending on what age you watch it out now But what about you Cody like what what brought you into the Star Wars universe? Was it the same thing did you start with the original trilogy or did you start with the prequels? Yeah, when it comes to how I was brought up with Star Wars You know there are Trekkies there are Star Wars fans my parents were both I was brought up in a household where Star Wars and Star Trek there weren't these gigantic wars They were respected in both of their genres and both of where they came from and yeah We started out with the original trilogy. I remember it was kind of like Adam's experience except mine happened on Christmas one Christmas morning when I was about four or five years old my mom was like, oh hey look under this tree And we did the thing you know you open one present before Christmas morning and she's like yeah You should open that one and I did it was an entire VHS set of the original trilogy And we sat down and that afternoon in the evening we watched all three of the original trilogy of Star Wars films and It was great, and I got to say I'm not if I am not embarrassed to say that the Original trilogy especially when it comes to a new hope up until I was about ten I probably watched that particular film on and off every single week Probably two or three times, and I'm not exactly sure what the map is there, but you can tell it's it's quite a lot And if you couldn't already tell I've got a lightsaber. I've got the Star Wars films behind me I got a couple of figurines on the shelf as well I'm giant Star Wars fan and yeah, yeah, I like the prequels when I was younger But I'm sure we're gonna get into that but Star Wars has been a major part of my life. I on the YouTube space I had a Star Wars New show for a little while and behind where where the camera is set right now There's actually a giant Star Wars mural. So yeah, you could say I'm a little bit of a fan. What about you Zach? I mean Star Wars for me. So I don't know exactly what age I got likes into Star Wars. So I just remember I Somehow when I think my dad took me and saw Attack of the Clones and this is the first one I ever saw as a kid. I mean like oh my god. This is so cool Like I was just like a little kid. I'm like holy shit Jedi's on screen like fighting ball You know what I mean like that that was the film that that was the first time we ever saw like the Jedi Order actually all together fighting Then my dad was like, you know, there's better films than that, right? I'm like, really? Goes ahead and shows me the original trilogy. We watched it in a whole afternoon Absolutely loved it Empire still been my favorite ever since and I remember I went back and watch Phantom Menace a couple years later I was always obsessed with Darth Maul, but I don't I just never saw the film I just loved the character had all the action figures of him just never saw really enjoyed Phantom Menace You know, this is me as a kid and then I remember I my dad took me out of school I was bugging him. I'm like, I want to see revenge of the Sith. I want to see revenge of the Sith I want to see revenge of the Sith my dad took me out of school. He's like shut up I'm gonna nap in the theater and you can watch your damn movie and I remember just We're the only ones in that theater which is like shocking because it's a Star Wars film We were the only ones in the theater but given like where I was living out It was kind of like the middle of nowhere and we watched it. He fell asleep and I loved it and then I grew up and You know as a kid, I would always watch the cartoon shows I don't know if you guys remember the 2d animated Star Wars the Clone Wars show that was on Cartoon Network That was totally 2d animated and I love that thing that that if you can ever find Anyone who watches or listens to this podcast if you guys can ever find a disc for that I think they're like I last might check there were like 30 bucks on Amazon They might have gone up, but it is such a well done show. I don't I don't think it's canon But it's very well done. I think it's even better than the other clone more show I never really got into that one But Star Wars has always been a thing for me It's always been something that inspired me in a lot of ways for filmmaking and just the universe in general is beautiful I've read the a ton of the legends books the comic books. I have toys behind me I used to have every figure from the Phantom Menace tack of the clones revenge of the Sith anything with general grievous I'm obsessed with I love the character of grievous and the Star Wars has always been there for me in a sense You know it's been an escape, and I think that's something that it goes for a lot of us And that's where I go to say is I think we brought this up And I think we should start not from the original trilogy, but counting one two and three which is the prequels Wow, this is gonna be an interesting conversation Oh So yeah, the prequels come out. Um, I Know everyone who went to go see the prequels. I mean you go look at old photos back in 1999 and old videos of people waiting outside freaking out. Oh my god. It's happening and It turns out it's not what everyone wanted to be most people came out with lenses though and so I'm curious At what age did you guys notice that you guys didn't like this film? Um, I Think I was Well, if we're gonna talk about if we're gonna talk about let's see here the Phantom Menace. I think it was probably Maybe like 13 or 14 like up until that point. I was like, you know the movie. It's enjoyable. It's fun I I thought it was cool. You know all the special effects and you get older and you're like Yeah, why these people they're acting very strangely and why is it? Why is this dialogue? Why does it make my ears want to bleed? I I mean One of the things I will say is that When it comes to it Ewan McGregor out of any of the prequel films, he was always my favorite actor in them because Performances all around aren't really that good, but Ewan McGregor he was by far my favorite What about you Adam? When did you start noticing that Phantom Menace isn't? Yeah Well, I mean I messed up on the day I said 2001 when it came out. I was like, yeah, you're right 99 So my bad on the dates. So anyway for me what I caught Yeah for me the Phantom Menace start becoming bad when Attack of the Clones came out because I actually thought that one was even better growing up We'll talk about that in a second as well. Oh, I think First came out but again, it's also the the the goggles to I knew they weren't as good as the original ones but for Phantom Menace like I Think my goggles came off around roughly around the same time No, wait because it came out of 99. So I've been 10 years old Maybe about 11 or 12, you know, like I said like roughly around the same time Attack of the Clones came out Because then you start watching them The other films and you watch this Phantom Menace quite frequently And I would always fall asleep right before the pod racer scene So I knew none of the other movies made me fall asleep in it Something wrong with it. So there's nothing wrong with it. So Right, I always would like if I wanted to fall asleep at night I always put the Phantom Menace in and fall asleep like right before the pod racer sequence And I would I would be so happy with myself if I can make it through the pod racer scene. So for me Yeah, but like that that age and I still I can watch Phantom Menace and enjoy parts of it Like obviously the Darth Maul There's good things to the prequels like there are good qualities to it. They're not are they trash? Yeah, but is it sometimes good trash? Yeah Yeah, exactly and I actually have a co-worker who no lie thinks the Phantom Menace is the best Star Wars film Wow He's he's my age He's like in a close to his 30s and it's like he literally think like he Qui-Gon Jins his favorite character that he lives by that Mantra like like literally like he that's that's that's crazy favorite film. So It just shows you that a movie speak different volumes of different people So hey, you know what they do and I mean there's people that I know that are just like that I went to school and they're like the prequels are the best in the trilogy. I'm like How and like this is one girl I probably are you with every time I see her she brings it up because she knows it pisses me off She goes revenge of the set is the best Star Wars film and I literally What the fuck are you talking about miss? Even close to how good like it is to like Empire return or a new hope or even the newer trilogy in fact Like and this is like where I get into is that people bash this new trilogy Like there's this group of Star Wars fans that just bash the new films and It's like for me It's like did you not remember the prequels like the prequels weren't the difference between the prequels and the new trilogy I can totally get if someone like doesn't like like what they are doing with the new trilogy but the thing is with the prequels It affects the original trilogy in other ways because it changes some of the lore it changes some of the characters that you think of and just The oh my god the dialogue I don't like sand. It's rough and it's course and it gets everywhere Now that's that's George Lucas for you because that's George Lucas His dialogue like it's only like really good dialogue driven movie other than like the original ones is American graffiti Yeah, if you you go back and watch some of the other movies That's the George Lucas thing if you watch because he he wrote or he helped With Indiana Jones came with a crystal skull and then you know that you know those those issues is His fingerprints are that and that you could tell that he has these great ideas But what and he could build the world's I think the what the prequels did really well they built a world where it feels lived in and everything it feels like there's this a Form of you know day by day living in these worlds like tattooing Coruscant Naboo and everything you can see what what he's trying to do But when he gets to the the verbiage of people coming out of people's it's just like it's just a verbal vomit You know, it's just like he just thinks that he's vomiting on screen like these these dialogue these words Yeah Don't hold any weight like there's stuff that I can guarantee you I can follow out around Hayden Christensen all day, and he will never say anything about sand like that Other things decent actor like I think these films give him like horrible credibility because I mean this is it doesn't know justice to any of the Actress and they're really Obi-Wan. I mean even when Gregor does his best with the dialogue in here, and it's still No, it's not I mean the diet and you put it perfectly Adam The worlds feel lived in it's great seeing these worlds It's great seeing all these different planets because that's something the original trilogy did not give us is this sense of Everything the prequels is obviously before a darker time But you get to see planets you get to see different Beautiful landscapes and whatnot and for me again like you're saying it's great to see all these different aliens Even though the CGI does not hold up Not at all, but it's still great to see it's great to see all these different characters and the dynamics I mean the prequels have some fantastic cool characters grievous. I'm a fan of I don't know why I just love how he looks count Dooku is a cool character on Darth Maul I mean come on like Darth Maul He's been resurrected through the cartoons multiple times because he's And I think that's where it goes is that another thing you want to look at is the films that George Lucas has had The least of his hands-on Are the best films Absolutely, I mean you look at Empire Strikes Back I mean George Lucas was the tiniest bit involved with that but the person who directed that film was Irving Kirschner and Everybody still professes or most people do that it is the best Star Wars film to date and George Lucas He didn't really have hands-on with that one. Oh Yeah, no 100% agreed And that's where I go. I think With our rankings, I'm curious Adam. How would you like just off the top of your head? How would you rank it that your films like worst the best? Worst the best well not counting the TV movies Now I would go attack the clones Phantom Menace You're my rankings gonna be different than your guys is you guys gonna make fun of me in a second It goes attack the clones at the bottom Phantom Menace Rogue one the last Jedi Force Awakens revenge the Sith return of the Jedi a new hope and then Empire Strikes Back All right fair enough fair enough Though revenge the Sith and Force Awakens could flip-flop. It's all okay. All right. What about you Cody? Let's hear your rankings. Oh geez. We're about to open up a whole can of worms here So all right, everyone brace yourselves. Oh comment section. Oh, geez. Okay. You know what here we go. I'm just finishing up our AC for attack of the clones and phantom Okay, so I got it written down right here on this nice little clipboard my ranking is from worst the best Phantom men not Phantom Menace attack at the clones then phantom menace then revenge of the Sith Then rogue one then return of the Jedi and Then the Force Awakens then a new hope Then the last Jedi and then Empire Strikes Back That's some ballsy stuff right there and I guess I should get my ranking out and now I'm gonna leave now I have seen Han Solo so I'm gonna leave that actually out till the film's out I'm not gonna say where it places. I'll give it a hint a little bit towards the bottom, but um, so Where's the best? number It's number nine will be the Phantom Menace Eight is attack the clones. I actually like it a little bit preferably over it because Phantom Menace the only thing I like is Darth Maul Rogue one Revenge of the Sith last Jedi a new hope Force Awakens return of the Jedi and Empire is my favorite So I think we're all in a grudge that um Empire is one of the best films Not just one of the best Star Wars films, it's just one of the best films Yeah, yeah pretty much. So I'm so let's talk about this. We're going back to the og trilogy We all have great memories of watching it for the first time and I Empire it's something special. It's something special. It's did it did something different at the time that I remember my dad told me people did not like the film when it first came out and I'm curious. Um, so Adam like how were you with the original trilogy? Like was it always like these films like always stuck out to you where you always constantly rewatching them like Which one was like your favorite some favorite moments? Just just vent about how much you love like the original trilogy All right, it's easy. It's easy return of the Jedi was the best one. Oh, it's the most rewatchable. Yes My favorite one I didn't mind the Ewoks didn't mind any that and then I absolutely hated I did not like the Empire Strikes Back like growing up. That was my least favorite. Wow Tell me that though I've heard that multiple times from people because the the reason why I did not like about it is This the Hoth I did not like the snow that I called it the snow planet and the whole at-at walkers I thought that was boring and then I was like this is way too dark. It wasn't this fun Like I still enjoyed it, but then When I was in high school actually took a trip down to Mexico I like a little mission trip down there and did like a sports camp and everything and then I came back and I got this This virus like this virus can like drinks I got some water in my mouth or whatever. So I got like some little sickness. I was out for a week I just all I could do is lay in my bed and watch movies so that what I do I will rewatch the trilogy, but then I watched like every single special feature on the DVDs that I had and As I was watching the Empire Strikes Back one. I realized this is not just a good Star Wars movie This is like one of the best movies ever like ever made and I think it was like a fifth I was like 16 or something like that at that time and I just dug deep into those special features and then after I will rewatch the movie watch all the special feature I really watched the movie again, and it just like yeah, this is by far the best one I don't know why I didn't like it before it tells so much detail and depth into these characters It expands everything that the first one did correctly, but made it better it tells up tells a more compelling story and it tells a story at that time of Movies that I actually really like I'm a huge fan of Cop and gangster films like the part. It's my favorite one of my favorite movies of all time That hasn't changed since 2006 Whenever I came out and then so like this one has that darkness like those films do have so I I Loved it, and I it still is by far one of the best ones for me anyway, and I yeah Yeah, sorry which are the Jedi for me has kind of lost some of it because I could see a little bit hits things here and there that It's weaker and new hope is just a group of the good like origin story Yeah, that opening of a franchise so definitely That one hasn't really changed my opinion because that was always my second favorite so that it's kind of been like stay in there So yeah, no, I mean I agree with you return the Jedi when I was younger that was the one I always rewatched and now for me actually one of the most rewatchable ones for me is Force Awakens Each and every time we watch this film. I like it more and more And maybe it goes to the audience is I spent I had because I put down that the three best audience experiences I've ever had watching a film opening night Force Awakens now Avengers the Infinity War and Surprisingly the third one would be on Toy Story 3 The three best experiences I've ever had I just remember Force Awakens You could hear people crying as the opening credits is going like it was crazy, but for some reason ever to my watch the film I like it more and more. It's so rewatchable. It's so enjoyable It's so fun and it's just a great way to get us back into the franchise Just like how you said a new hope is a great thing to start off this whole franchise I love I love those all those aspects now growing up for me. It was probably the same way like After I'd kind of gone out. Okay, the prequels are bad because I used to always rewatch them I remember when I got revenge of the Sith. I was like, dang. This is really cool Um But growing up, you know once I got into it We're sure that the Jedi was one of the ones that I constantly rewatched that throne room battle of all the Ewoks Wicket is underrated Wicket is a true legendary hero in the Star Wars franchise. You are useless. No, they're not They're beautiful. Yeah, they have you've never seen Have you guys seen the Ewok film? Yes, and it's so dumb. No, it's great. It's better than the last Jedi Um, and I'm shut your mouth People will agree with me if you think the Ewok movie is better than the last Jedi There you go, so I don't think that's really a value valid argument here because Half of the population says the last Jedi is crap. Anyways, I That proves the point But and we'll get into that in a second We'll we'll debate the last Jedi a little bit because I'm sure that's what people want to hear is our thoughts on the last Jedi Obviously Cody kind of already shot himself in the foot at placing it number two, but that is okay because film is subjective now a New hope to be honest kind of boring But we put it against some other films, but that's fine again build you into this universe. Um, Cody What what about you? Do you were you always a fan of Empire Strikes Back or were you kind of always on the camp of return? No, I always loved Empire Strikes Back except, you know It's kind of like Lord of the Rings for me because the way my parents raised me with the Star Wars films I never exactly viewed them as their own individual films. I had always viewed Star Wars Empire Strikes Back and return of the Jedi as just one entire entity So it was like film to film to film. I thought it was all just one movie up until I realized Wow, there can actually be franchises with stuff but so I can't say I really that I really Had a certain point to where I liked Empire Strikes Back better than the others then when I started getting older and I started really appreciating the Empire Strikes Back around the same time that I started seeing the prequels as not all that great It was around 13 14 years old and I started looking into it You know, it's got the more mature themes that started getting darker It raises the stakes for all of our characters it builds the relationship with all of our characters and we get introduced to new and fabulous characters and Just makes you love the entire Star Wars saga even more, but of course, you know now we've gotten to a point where Nobody hates Star Wars as much as Star Wars fans. I think is what the phrase is and it's a thing to say Unfortunately, that's where we are right now You know for yeah Yeah, all right, all right, you know Force Awakens comes out. Everybody loves it It's a return to Star Wars and it was the biggest opening box office up until Avengers Infinity War and now Now we had the last Jedi, which I think is what we're going to talk about next and we saw You know, even though people weren't big fans of Row 1 the most people said it was just okay, but now we got last Jedi and Star Wars family the Star Wars community people in general have just been completely split down the middle And you know what very toxic film, you know First of all, the number one thing is whoever that whoever that complete tool belt was that worked for a variety Who spoiled all the major moments before most of the population could go see it screw you sir And I hope you don't get to work again because what you did is just unconscionable Okay, you shouldn't have done that Calling out people fuck you to the person who ruined Force Awakens for me when I was watching a fucking cooking video I looked in the comments and someone says Kylo Ren is Han Solo's son and he kills Han Solo Literally a week before what the fuck? Sorry. All right Adam Adam. Is there any big? Spoiler-type stuff or things you want to say when it comes to Deadpool the guy who spoiled freaking infinity war for me in my comment section. No Deadpool 2 for you in your comment section Yeah, this is stupid. Yeah, Deadpool 2 as well. They spoiled the freaking cameos like anyway Star Wars Star Wars. No the Star Wars thing. I got a little picture of Han Solo Like like as I'm walking into it. I got I was like, okay I'm gonna like walk. I'm like I'm gonna tag myself in this theater say like I'm walking to see Star Wars and then of course Freakin Han Solo with a lightsaber There's actually someone in Arizona put on the back of their car Han Solo dies in episode 7 Like is a giant sticker Like that's just rude. That's just rude I remember my dad saw that and he was like, well, no, I don't want to see the film But so sequel trilogy We all appreciate the force awakens in some way shape or form Adam. You like the force awakens, right? Yeah, it's really it's really good. It's fun. Like yeah, it's the best parts of the original like the 3rd og trilogy but Makes it very fun. I like I love the characters help Okay, so this is one of my favorite characters that absolutely gets shit on in the movies Captain fazma is the Captain fazma's book really recommend it it opens up a whole new limelight But actually adds more depth to her scenes in the last Jedi. Sorry her scene in the last Jedi Okay, if we're gonna talk about books to recommend if they're okay If you guys I know there are people who complained about Princess Leia's Involvement in the last Jedi and in the force awakens if you guys want a really really Really good book. That's not just a great Star Wars book. It is a great book I believe the book is called bloodlines. That's it bloodline. Yeah. Yeah, and it just gives so much depth so much Information not only as Princess Leia as a character But with the people she interacts with because the book is essentially about people finding out that her father was Darth Vader While she is working in the Senate. It's not just a great Star Wars book It is a great book all around and if you're a Star Wars fan, you haven't read it. You need to pick it up No, I recommend a book now to them. I'll recommend a book It's the one of the greatest Star Wars characters of all time We don't have enough redhead guys in Star Wars and we need to talk about Dash Rendar from shadows Dash Rendar is by far my favorite Star Wars character And he should be canon because we see the Outrider in Mos Eisley spaceport during a new hope in the special editions One of the best contributions George Lucas has ever made to Star Wars is putting the Outrider in the Mos Eisley spaceport Thank You George, right learn how to write better scripts, but anyway One day they actually do bring Dash Rendar in in a certain capacity either as a side character something I and all petition that Adam you should play him. Oh, no, no Disney's already approached me. Oh, okay Are you getting paid to do Han Solo review? Yeah Okay, you know what if we're gonna talk about characters that were in legends, but now you know they're in canon Okay, if there's one character that I want a petition to be in a Star Wars film That is officially canon again, but needs to be the villain of a Star Wars film It's gonna be grand Admiral Thrawn, you know He was back in legends with Shadow of the Empire and now we got him in Star Wars Rebels And we got the Thrawn book if you guys don't know who Grand Admiral Thrawn is and and you want to know about a really great villain with a Really great thought process the book Thrawn by Timothy Zahn is a really really great Deep dive into a very villainous characters mindset and honestly I want to see Grand Admiral Thrawn be a villain inside of an actual Star Wars film Not just in a TV show not in it just in an animation Grand Admiral Thrawn is a great villain and he needs to get into a Star Wars film. Yep. No, I agree. I love Thrawn Thrawn was great. He's one of the big parts of rebels now. Okay, we're talking legends Okay, I'm gonna say Darth Revan it will never happen because he literally looks just like Kylo Ren But um Revan's storyline is like one of my favorite things I just love the character in general and I know like we've gotten hints of him But I want more of that and then Plagueis. I want to see Plagueis on the big screen. I'm sorry I I want to I think Plagueis is a really interesting character, but I'm with you Adam on Dash Rendar. He's just a cool character. I I really want Dash Rendar in a Okay Star Wars film. This is the biggest argument You can this is the biggest like why hasn't this been already made? What other books have got are so popular ahead of a video game based off of it That have action figures based off of it that has had a full Soundtrack based off this book and nothing has ever come of it What other books can you say that? None, not like like that soundtrack is actually pretty good too. Oh, yeah He's over the leader of the Black Sun you get you can add you can add, you know Franchise or characters from the OG trilogy like Darth Vader Palpatine I would skip off and change up Leia a little bit But you could you can mention Han you could bring in Boba Fett all these classic characters Yeah, it's perfect and one more other character I do want to mention that I think was such a cool character with Starkiller from the Force Unleashed games. I just think like he's badass like that that like view if you want a whole like Radar Star Wars film on Netflix It's gonna just go through and ask and slash people that that'd be pretty cool But going back to the sequel trilogy because we got way off course on this whole thing Yeah, people are probably thinking we're dodging the big question here It's fine. So let's talk about the last Jedi That's where we should get to now Adam I want to start with you your guest. Give us your initial thoughts and where you are at now with the last Jedi All right So every year these Star Wars movies have started coming out in December time Mike the company that I work for a Purple delivering company FedEx Anyway, so a bunch of us like 30 of us would go to the theater and watch these films and we saw Force Awakens We saw Rogue one all a lot of fun The last Jedi came out Everybody's super hyped and everybody in the theater that came with our group absolutely loved it other than three people And I'm one of their I'm absolutely going doing this in the theater like I'm puffing and puffing and I'm sitting next to one of my good friends who brought their daughter who's like 13 To the theater and I'm sitting right next to her and I'm just like huffing and puffing my wife's like you're way too loud Like I was like but I was literally just like so frustrated and another one of my good friends who actually is on the Almost sideways comm website with me. He does a bunch of other movie related stuff as well He came down out of the theater. I was like so how do you like it? He's like do I love that? I think it's one of the best things since Empire Strikes Back like I absolutely love it was like Yeah, I kind of hated it like I hated it like It's just like it's It is something that was completely different than A way of telling the story that I thought they were gonna go Yeah, I definitely felt like It was definitely a curveball Compared to everything like I thought the thing I was gonna hate the most was the Porgs and I actually enjoyed the Porgs the Porgs the most out of the movie my first viewing and They're cute. Yeah, like I The movie took some it had some balls for sure Like where I'm at now because I really watched it the next day before I even did my review because I was like I can't do this like I can't even do my review for it Like without just the one viewing so I went back to the next day after work and saw it And I said, okay Well, I'm just gonna enjoy this movie for what that for what it is and enjoy the ride that it takes me on and I don't have to agree with some of the stuff that happens in it and I still don't I still don't agree with are we able to talk spoilers on this movie? You think yeah? Yeah, yeah, it's been out. It's on Blu-ray. So okay, cool My big thing was my my first thing I knew I wasn't I knew the movie that this The first thing I didn't like about the movie and I knew that I was like, oh, no This is gonna be pretty bad shape was the whole Poe Dameron joke at the very front of the brigading It's like, oh, sorry. I can't hear you. Are you there? And then Hux is like made to go like this fool they did that gag It's like you're clearly talking to him and then I think you say they can't that that gag the very beginning I said this is not This is not gonna be a good if they keep doing this this humor and then they did the the whole balls Oh, that's that explains Princess Leia. They're gonna kill her off here. They did some rewrites and some reshoots here I was sure that happened the first I was like, oh, wow, that's some balls right there. I actually dug that I was like that that's cool. That's cool. It got me back in the movie and then all of a sudden in her hand I was like son of a bit. I get that's a force power in the books and cannon and stuff But it's never explained in the film or even in Force Awakens that she has any, you know Actual force abilities other there other than a connection with her brother and she can feel things in the force But she never actually shows her experimenting with moving or anything like that And having her being going back to the force. That's seems completely Backwards to me. I don't I don't understand didn't like that and then also Some of the stuff with Luke obviously I I understand it, but I don't like it I put it this way the last Jedi is the film that no one expected no one wanted or I wouldn't say wanted but no one thought they wanted because some people did love what they did with Luke I really actually appreciate what they did with Luke. I'm gonna get this is a film that no one expected Everyone went in with so many different theories and Ryan Johnson literally turned it around Pushed it out the window Check the lightsaber over his shoulder. Yeah, okay I'm not gonna lie when I first saw that I was that actually pissed me off. I was not happy with either I still don't like that moment. I I still don't I don't know why like there's certain things about this film that are frustrating because they built up so much from the Force Awakens For to be nothing and a given I actually did watch the last Jedi with his directors commentary And if you haven't yet that it that helps the film so much Understanding why he did it because it's pretty much him explaining why he chose certain things and it opens up different corner Pockets to be like, okay I actually get that but still there's certain things about that film that don't make sense the lay of thing No, I'm with you on that camp. I don't like it You can't oh god I Don't Know yeah, no, I do not the whole cannibal thing is this is a big thing to me too when I was watching the movie this I caught this the very first time so when they're thinking about we need to go find somebody to smuggle or Hack something into the ship and Program some stuff. Why does Pope Dameron who has no like how how did Poe Dameron know to call Maz Kanata? He's never actually met her. Yes Yes He never like if how did how did they how did why would he call her and not? Why Finn was the only one that we saw actually met her and honestly, I'm really disappointed with Maz Kanata's character I thought you're so cool or fragrance Yeah, it's this little fucking hologram. I Go do you want to defend this little any parts of these things that feel free to jump in and defend you think is wrong Yeah, I know I had no I was just letting you guys get your frustration out and oh don't worry I got some more on that I'm gonna let you finish run through every little thing that okay. That's a lot run And then leave a good things that you like I'll go with mine then Cody will defend his hope of why this is the second best Star Wars film. Okay, okay Obviously, obviously captain phasma. I'll say captain phasma again gets her ass kicked By Finn in one fight that is pretty ridiculous Especially you have you have all this marketing from the Force Awakens like obviously like I went out I got my shirt. I went out and my wife searched for the the the black edition of Captain phasma her toys like that one's so hard to find Gwynadiel Christie is one of my favorite actresses obviously from Game of Thrones Yeah, I'm completely wasted on all this marketing for her. It's like basically I wish they would have done that for Jar Jar beings because they marketed the crap out of him to Kill him off right in the beginning and then um and Then another one to the biggest miss opportunity for me was del Toro I think del Toro for me. Yep. The whole mission like he should he should not have been the guy that they got the Here's a guy, you know, he has a lapel pin. Okay, cool. So Justin So yeah, he has this this this the palpin, which he looks completely like he Haunt Harrison Ford and Templar Doom, which is pretty cool looking That guy should not have been him. It should have been Landau Calrissian And if you Ryan Johnson actually brought that up that they actually wanted he actually originally had Landau in the script Why he said he took it away because he wanted to portray the war aspect and how no one you don't really know Who's the villain who's not I get that aspect, but for me? Why I I would have rather seen the land though than do don't get me wrong. I love seeing del Toro, but Del Toro's character is kind of boring and originally did you guys know that del Toro's originally supposed to play a Darth Maul in the Phantom Menace? And he dropped out because he had a contract issues with a certain other film that he had to go do So I remember building I was like, oh, are they gonna make him like a Knights of Wren or something like that would be cool But no, he's just this shitty smuggler who sucks So okay, so Adam any if anyway, we can get Dash Rendar on that part that would have been there anyway You would a freak out about that imagine how honestly if it was Dash Rendar You probably would have been even more happy. It probably been my favorite Star Wars film So what is it? So what if it was a redhead though? Would that be a problem? What was that? Yeah, he better have that beard he better have a full goatee. He better have some red hair. Oh man I'll be I'll be a don't casting no anyway on this last aspect Adam What do you like about the film? Just a couple things after rewatching? I enjoyed the porks, which is I They're great They're they do add some comedic moments to it. I think visually. It's really Beautiful. Yeah, I love the salt the salt plan. I can't with the planet right now But that was really visually it really interesting. I Enjoy Kylo Ren's character I really like Kylo Ren. I enjoyed the balls. They did to kill off Snoke Which I was not expecting it, but it makes Kylo Ren an even better villain now So seeing going forward. I also enjoyed the credits He like Yoda Yoda yeah, he looked like he took a step backward in the No, I having Yoda appear actually kind of thought that Yoda was gonna appear that that was kind of interesting But why wasn't he a force ghost the whole time? It looked like he like reformed into like is Puppet he wasn't like blew the whole time. That's what it looked like to me force ghosts though Huh, I don't look like a he was a force ghost. I know I know I don't I'll say this Okay, there was their stuff to like about it, but it's just it's one of those ones. It's so controversial. It's like I have more Negatives than positives even I could still watch it and enjoy the ride I'd still step that bothers me for sure So I'll go now and then Cody you are gonna debate us Okay, maybe we'll have to do a separate podcast of debating the last Jedi will have two people versus two people So who's going from here side? I don't know Ryan Lea McCoy Lea McCoy, that's like a second. Oh, yeah. Oh, okay. McCoy loved it, too So all right, so going for Star Wars the last Jedi I walk in and I walked out of the theater And I remember I wasn't huffing or puffing, but I wasn't like enjoying myself You know like I was liking it, but I wasn't like enjoying it and there were certain things in the theater that bothered me and walk out of the theater and all my friends like oh my like my friend who He literally is the hardest person to please his favorite film of this year is Red Sparrow I have no idea how but It's impossible to please this guy. He hated Force Awakens. He hates the prequels. He hates everything almost He literally is the hardest person to please hated one just Hardest person to please come down. He's like dude. I loved it. I'm like, oh, I thought it was just fine And we debated a bit and he kind of changed my opinion before I did my review I did my review and I mean if you go back and watch my review I'm kind of like Just like what the fuck did I just watch like this isn't anything? I wanted none of my theories came true and maybe that's I Appreciate the balls that they had to go in this direction, but I was very weirded out about so going off like Leia I didn't like what they did hold though holding back the information never makes sense for me Cantalbite just needs to be thrown off a cliff that planet just needs to go away Even though I do like the Joseph Gordon Levitt cameo if you don't know which one it is look it up Yeah, Cantalbite pissed me off. I would have Landon should have been in it. I love what they did with Luke's character I loved it with Ray. I didn't like him throwing the lightsaber over. I Absolutely loved though Kylo Ren and I will go as far as say he's the best villain in a Star Wars Franchise in the story of her franchise I'll even go as far as say he is a better-developed character than Darth Vader was and The emotional arc that they have going with this character Especially after him killing snow because that was the biggest jaw-dropping moment when they killed snow I was like, oh, he's not gonna die. He's not gonna. Oh, oh god He really did die and I'll even go so far to say that action sequence with a preturian guards was awesome It's just great the choreograph in there is beautiful the imagery in here is great The score is fantastic Ryan Johnson. He directed this film very well I look at this film is that I've a well-made film. I'd give this film like an A minus a B plus as An enjoyable film a C minus. It's not a rewatchable film. It's hard to rewatch It's a slow-moving film and I like I said, I do appreciate a lot of things I appreciate how they took it a day after I do get the toxicness of people not liking this film But for people to call out people because it's abysmal You have not seen the fucking prequels then because the prequels are way worse than these films Given you could probably rewatch revenge of the Sith more than you could probably watch the last Jedi But still it has good dialogue. It has good things some of the humor is hit or miss but The last Jedi for me is a film that the things that work very well for it work a hundred percent Especially porcs. Give me a pork solo film. Oh Yeah, go ahead Um The character of Rose saving Finn at the very end and then right when they kiss for some reason I was the most awkward thing ever you see the blast doors behind them get blown up where all the leadership up this resistance force is behind Rose That's another part. I was like this movie is gonna save itself if they actually kill Finn off right here Yes, so I was so happy about that balls. I like I like John Boyega I think he's great, but I was like this is gonna be awesome if they do and then all since like Why? It's like we saved the ones we love but it would have made kanto bite Better it I think it would have fit the whole storyline. They were showing in kanto bite. You know what I mean I felt like that that's what they were building up for the whole film Then they just save him and dear God that their kiss was More on chemistry and I love the care the character of Rose I like the actress that portrays her this isn't go against her It's just the chemistry between them was worse than hating Christensen and Natalie Portman and that's being honest So I'm done ranting Again, there's things I like about the last Jedi and there's things I don't It's definitely fallen down for me because I think when I came out I was really just appreciating how ballsy it was so Cody go ahead I'm gonna sit back relax and me and Adam will start yelling at you if we disagree. Okay. Okay Okay, here's the thing you're wrong. You're wrong. You're absolutely wrong Cody You're out the evolution is kicking you out. I'm wrong by saying here's the thing. Okay That's a misstep second of all you're wrong by one goddamn percent Okay, so firstly I do have my problems with the last Jedi. I don't think it's a perfect movie the kanto bite stuff The second act of the film I do have a problem with The story structure I feel look all of my problems with the film Resolve in the second act of the movie the third act and first act the reason why I like it Just under empire strikes back is because of what the first and second act brought kanto bite Yes, the chemistry between Finn and rose, you know Benicio del Toro all of that stuff Is um bismal, but You know, I I hate it just about as much as everybody else does I mean, it's the most boring part of the film It does feel like we took a step back and went back to the prequels It really does but the first act getting rey set up with luke Getting at doing the lightsaber over him Look there when I first saw into the movie theater I hated it, but when it comes down to it where my logic resides in this I think to myself, you know luke's in the darkest place in his life You guys can't see Zach is voting a pop figurine of luke right in front of my face But here's the thing. This is what I say initially. I hated it. I did But the more I thought about it the way I see it is luke is in the darkest part of his life right now, you know, he's Pretty much completely forgotten all about the force Essentially, he's hidden himself away because he wants to die alone with no relations to anybody So any familial ties that he may have Great. Thanks. Thanks adam. That's that's exactly what I need to see when I'm defending myself I The way I see it he He put aside any familial ties, especially what happened after with kylo ren and so to me when he threw the lightsaber over his shoulder He was trying to forget any amount of his past that he had before because he was just In such a dark place in his life that he didn't want to go back to his past The pre the presence of his lightsaber to me was a representation of everything that had been presented to luke before And he didn't want any part of that anymore and the presentation of the lightsaber Means that they want him to come back into the fray to the war to help the rebellion out And he doesn't want any part of that either so him taking the lightsaber and chucking it In my opinion is luke stands on all of this stuff how he feels about his past How he feels about the rebellion how he feels about everything and chucking that along with everybody's theories In my opinion is a representation of that. All right guys. What else you got for me? You're wrong. No, you know what though? I Fine, I guess I can look at the lightsaber going over like that. It just The way it portrayed is like you waited two years and it's just Come on I waited two years for that Again, I I totally get your sentiments about the last Jedi. There are people who love it hate it and think it's dog shit That that's how it goes And you're just kind of in the middle. I think there's romeo and atomar. We're just in the middle, you know Here's the thing the The second act of the last Jedi it bothered me it bothers most Everybody and that's one of the biggest reasons why people hate it is because of stuff that happens within that second act But the third act everything that happens on that salt planet the the cinematography of this film The performances the emotional bond that we get to see at the very end between luke and lea Is one of the things that made this film for me because it's a love the dice I love how they showed the dice because that that goes There's a lot of good elements with luke and when he with chubaca and when he goes on the millennium falcon for the first time Like there's great sentiments to that I want to pose something to you guys. Did you guys like the fact that they did not Have actually luke there And going luke skywalker motherfucker or do you like what they did with this character at the end? That's another issue too. It's again I understand that that's a force ability in the books But as a casual movie going audience my wife would never know that that that's actually a force power Like I knew that's a force power But that was never established that that's something that you could project yourself onto another planet Or anything because my thinking is if he projected himself onto that planet handed lay of the dice Wouldn't the dice disappear or go through her hand or something because it was not like something that it's actually there You know You know what here here's the thing I here's the thing you can say that But I don't know if that's a valid argument because I have people in my own personal life my parents my brother Sister everybody cousins They all saw the film and none of them are like me where they've read the books or done this extra canon stuff To where they know that stuff is a force power. They saw that in the film. They loved it even though they Even though they've never read any of the extracurricular canon They saw it They loved it and they thought it was symbolic because not only did luke get what he wanted to die But luke was sacrificing him. I mean it in my mind again. This is my mind We all know that luke is the most powerful jedi Except ash rendar. Sorry. He's not a jedi, but I think I think luke was trying to do the obi-wan thing to where he knew that Even if he went there even if he went there to provide the rebellion a chance to escape He would be using the last of the amount of energy that he had within his system So what he could do is either go there himself or he could use what's left of his force power to provide them a chance to escape Create the necessary goodbyes and bonds with the people around him that he needs to And then stand off against kylo ren and haunt him in the worst way that he possibly can See you make good arguments and I will not discredit to you and some fucking trash ball comments on this podcast and discredit to you They can go fuck themselves. Sorry That's where i'm gonna leave it at i'm gonna cut it off for last jedi discussion because this will be another two hour discussion If we keep arguing about this so Everyone gets our thoughts now The reason we keep we're doing this podcast and again God we're gonna have to do another star wars podcast because there's so much star wars stuff to talk about The thing I want to go into before we kind of finish up this podcast is two things I want to talk about rogue one, of course because that is the first anthology film that does not partake to the episodic films And then I want to talk about leading in the Han Solo what your guys's thoughts are are you guys excited for it? Are you guys not? What are you most excited for for the film and just in general? What's another anthology film that you guys want from this? So let's start with rogue one Cody since you started arguing with last jedi are you do you like rogue one? Yes, I do. I think rogue one is a good star wars film. What I will say about rogue one though is that the first act is incredibly Dragging and it's incredibly slow The first act for me. I thought we got good set up with Gate it with um Oh, gosh, what's her name? Um Gosh g in urso g in urso I thought we got good set up with her and with cassian andor and with the other character Well, cassian andor and and k2so and jen urso specifically and I liked I liked when cassian and And jen were in the town on jedi. I thought that was all a good part But the stuff would saw grara and the whole pacing of the first act It was so slow and it bothered it makes me almost want to skip to the second act When when i'm watching it because it's just so boring and so slow But the second after the movie when it transitions to an all out War film and all out battle and you know just that second fit and That scene that that scene with darth vader just everything that happened every second I mean every second that is in the second act I personally love and I feel the film is at its best and of course I got to give some credit to krennick to ben mendelson He was a great villain as as krennick and I don't you know a lot of people are split on this But when it comes to governor tarkin, I understand that the cgi isn't the best that it could be But I do think that they did a pretty darn good job on it and the guy who performs is him He did a fantastic job I will argue that the cgi is really good because most people that I know Who aren't into film or star wars? Um when I took my grandma to see that film Uh when I told her afterwards that he was dead. She was like seriously I was she's like I couldn't even tell most people can't even tell I so I I think they did way better than other people are thinking given I can watch it and be like Okay, that that's fake. He's dead in real life. But yeah, but what about you adam? What are your things about row one? Well, my first thing is is that I think it's It's sadly, I think it's one of the most overrated films the last decade like for me personally I think what you what you want to do what you want to do Most any movies you want to have something that you're good you leave the audience with Talking about and I think the third act of this film is absolutely fantastic And it did exactly the job at disney or whoever Wanted this film to do it sets up perfectly for a new hope and everything gives you a very memorable scene one Probably the best star wars moments of all time Heck my star wars month that actually made my top five star wars moments I did that video with john from the real talk And um that darth fader shout out to john Yeah, exactly So that sequence is fantastic the whole thing on the planet. I loved uh I've been mineral since character. I wish he would have been developed a little bit more But the Other than the third act that's like that's my favorite part of the movie like that's my favorite part of it and um everything else is kind of It's not as memorable to me and I feel like it's very disjointed. It's Yeah, it's not something that I want to rewatch if I want to watch row one I want to skip forward to That third act because that's the scenes. I want to see you know I I enjoy it a lot and I can't like you guys are like I don't know the other characters names like I I can I I know bad ass with a stick Yeah, like donnie and I know donnie in k2so ktso is one of my favorite characters too He made my honorable mentions for my uh, you know side secondary characters, but Everybody else it's like it's not Sticked out to me and because I I didn't think they're actually going to kill everybody off But it's like you have to you have you don't have time to develop these characters for make me necessarily care about them So unfortunately, like I don't really know their names as as much I still enjoy that third act and heck even jared buckindale shout to you for giving a Rogue one review on almost sideways said he did a great job He he likes the movie too, but he also knows that there's stuff not it's not perfect, you know So there isn't there isn't there is issues with the film and for me. I'm the same way with you. I I think it's overrated Um, I don't griffin from enverse movies. It's second favorite star wars film, which I can understand It's just the film does not work for me and I wish it did Yeah, no even walking out of it. I It's still very well good film like it's not a bad film Like I'd still give it a pretty good rating But everyone calls it one of the best star wars films that I don't know I don't at all And that's why I find it overrated is when people say oh, that's my favorite star wars film It's overrated in that aspect. I don't think it's that good They portrayed in the trailers that's me as dark gritty film this dark gritty war film and you don't really even get that like When people see han solo There's actually a sequence in there that is the most is grittier than anything in rogue one and That's saying a lot because you would expect that to be more lighthearted And and then there's one war scene that the way it's shot. It's like this is like incredible So Rogue one I do like the anthology series. I love what they're doing with it in all I just I just really wish They would go to different parts of the universe and I think that's where we get to Han Solo Did we need the film? No No, I even after seeing it. I'll say did it didn't make me see why we need they made it Yeah, one to make money and two they they added some different layers not to han solo but to the world There's some anthology films that I think if disney does it right They can make some really good anthology films that han solo developed into this world because it does Open some corner pockets for like the crime syndicate and stuff world that I hope they do actually go into but Who knows they will who god knows they will they're talking about land of chelurisian Solo film which don't love is great in it, but I want to get your guys perspective on this since I have seen han solo I want to talk about you guys Adam you're our guest Are you excited for han solo? Are you not? I mean, this was the first star wars film I walked into I'm like, I'm not really excited for a han star wars film for once Yeah, I'm not really like looking. I'm only looking forward to seeing donald glover as lando I think a lot of people are And uh because even though he hasn't really said much in the trailers Like that that guy him just smiling with that yellow uh his yellow outfit was looks fantastic That's what I'm looking forward to. I'm hopefully hopefully they bring in something about the dice That would be kind of a good call back to last jedi. That would be interesting Again With star wars movies, I feel like they work better when you do not know any of the main actors faces I'll give you a pass on donald glover I I enjoy all the aiden rank in movies like hail seizer He's really good. He's a really good actor. Beautiful creatures. I think he's a good actor So I don't mind him cast it as han solo I do have problems with you casting woody harrelson and emilia clark These are two people that are very popular and have very strong fan bases So when I see woody harrelson in the trailer For the movie I only see woody harrelson No, I get that and um for me the thing is even after seeing the film, um woody harrelson for me, um He's the one that's still the most recognizable if that makes sense What about you cody like are you like does that bother you at all? Honestly, yeah, it kind of does I enjoy woody harrelson. I do he's one of my favorite actors and honestly whatever he touches turns to gold in my opinion, but He's great. I'll be the thing that I was most nervous about going into han solo You know donald glover great. I'm super excited to see him The thing that was really most nervous about was alden erinreich is han solo and I'll say this He um the trailers do not do the guy justice After seeing the film I don't know if I'll be in the minority of this. He just fades into the role. He he I didn't see alden I saw a young han solo and that's something that's good to know Um, I know that was my biggest worries han solo is my top three favorite star wars characters So the fact that alden can just fade into it. He doesn't he's never going to be like harrelson for but he Fades into it very nicely donald glover fades into lando like you close your eyes It sounds like fucking the original lando billy and um in going more and more to adams, you know, you do mention amelia clark I'm trying to think I don't When I watched the film I was like, oh, that's amelia clark. It's calisi and even in my review I could not remember the girl's name. I just kept saying calisi Um, I do her character of kira is very well done Um, I she does fade in well, but woody harrelson is the one actor that I was like Yeah, that's woody harrelson. It's not tobias. So but adam See and yeah, see the thing is like going with the amelia clark. She hasn't transitioned into Acting on the big screen yet. She's very popular in game of thrones, obviously But the most recent thing were that that kind of your you see the actor on screen and you immediately get drawn out of the movie avengers infinity war Peter dinklage is in it And everybody who saw the movie I was around. I knew he was in it But everybody was like, whoa, it's it's this guy and they knew they get everybody Like I feel like that like they got sucked out of it a little bit when they saw dinklage on the screen Yeah, like but when I watched like three billboards outside of ebbing missouri That didn't happen there but because it was such a drawing. It's a different kind of a genre type of film It does to kind of that that disconnect a little bit So that's what I'm a I don't think amelia clark's necessarily going to do it because she looks completely different than she does from sarah connor or From khalisi or anything like that, you know, she looks a little different with her like her I saw a picture of her in target and it looks it looks like her but it looks different at the same time So I don't think I don't have that distance there But woody harrelson for sure because all I see is like him from hunger games him from You know, all these different other films and franchises that he's in, you know Because it doesn't look it looks like woody harrelson. Yeah, pretty much. So no I get that Sentiment to I mean, I think you raise a lot of what people are thinking about haunts. Oh now kody What do you think about haunts solo? Are you excited for it? Yeah, well I'm kind of in the middle on it I think we are all kind of like when they announced that you're like you're really making a solo film I mean what one thing That I really there's a bunch of issues with the behind the scenes too So I'll tell you the thing that I I hate the fact that all the mess and all that stuff happened behind the scenes and Like I said the thing that I'm most nervous about I there are two things I'm nervous about the the hawn and chewy meeting thing because that's a very very integral part of haunts solo And then like I said the alton erin right thing. I'm nervous about him But on a more technical level because if you guys know anything about my channel, I like After effects and all this kind of stuff. I really really hope that they fix the uh I'm If they keep the title cards that they've been putting in the trailers I I'm going to hate it because Those title cards that we've seen in the trailers anyone can go on either iMovie or adobe premiere pro And create those themselves only not premiere pro, but you get it No, I get that and again, I think you guys all have the same sentiment of hawn solo. Why did we need this film again? I know after seeing the film I I can see why they made it because I enjoyed it. It is a fun time at the movies It's easily the most accessible star wars film. I think for any fans like even for people who aren't fans I took a friend who isn't really the biggest diehard star wars fan And he came out and he's like, I really enjoyed it. He's like, I liked him more than last jedi fair enough It's a good made film Everyone really fades into the characters. Uh, what do you hear else than the one that sticks out still a good performance Action sequences are good scores good. I mean it's what you think would be good in this hawn solo film It's not garbage if for me. It's just a good film It's fun and it made me understand why we got it the dice You'll see and I will say There's some nice things where you're like, oh, yeah, like that that ties into that and oh that ties into that Oh, I get that like you get those nods that you're like, oh, yeah, yeah And sometimes it kind of plays out. You're like, okay, like I I don't need that many things But the thing I think this film does great is it opens up cornerpockets for different anthology films to come down the line Maybe I'm overthinking it. Maybe I'm not but I think this film sets up some anthology films that I'm like I need now So I'm hoping that's what they do with it But I think that's a great place to end this podcast guys for the star wars talk again There's so much stuff. We didn't get to talk about star wars rebels really We didn't get to talk about the cartoons the video games any of that really And we're gonna just have to do it again because there's so much to talk about star wars So, you know, there's always star wars stuff coming up.
