 Episode three. That's going to be so great, you guys. I'm really excited. I'm sure this is going to be very exciting. I'm sure things will happen story substantially and not be a complete waste of time. Yeah, it's going to be some really good battle scenes. I'm sure they will talk to each other like normal people. That would have the iron that I'm excited for the long pauses in which nothing happens. That's my favorite part. I was actually going to say those parts pretty cool to try and move from just saying this is going to be because we talk about it almost every time we cover these fucking shows. Biller, it's like, what's going to what's happening? It's we all got to get thrown. Got to get him and maybe Ezra or something, even though that guy is probably Ezra. So what's what's the deal with that? It's like, well, we need coordinates on that map. We found it already, but it's not in the hero's hands and they didn't get the info from it. It's with the baddies. They've got it and they're doing the Eye of Sauron or something and they're going to go and fly over there. But they haven't done it yet and the heroes just found out where they were. And so you might expect as a viewer that this episode could be like a 40 minute thing and we're going to battle the good versus bad and it'll end with a climactic thing of they all travel forward into that mysterious new galaxy and maybe they arrive and there's a big cliffhanger on what they see immediately. Or we'll get what I would call it's like the bad filler where nothing fucking happened this episode. I guarantee it. All of the stuff I just said about moving on with the map and the Eye of Sauron or whatever the hell it's called is going to be something we do another time. It ain't going to be this episode. The structure of the Star Wars shows is becoming a little too transparent. You start to notice that things only things matter the most in the first couple episodes and then in the last couple of episodes in between. How do our good guys know where to go? Because I've got the track of the robots. They put the track. All right. Yeah, they put the tracker on the ship and the. Yeah. We haven't learned a lesson. I got that through very legitimate means. Yes, it's true. That's true. Yeah, that was that was an action-packed sequence. People on that ship thought, huh, that ship just followed us for like two minutes and didn't shoot at us. I wonder if it wonder if it was a tracking thing on our ship. It flew up right next to us. And then once it got next to us, it left a robot litter a robot through it. Episode one ends with them getting the map and then flying away. They could have put a tracker on then and we could be beginning with this episode. And they could have not lost it in the first place. You know, it's true. The bad guys getting the hyperdrive piece. That could have just been something that was done already. I didn't need to be something that wasn't done. But but I mean, they have eight episodes. That's the crazy. So that was actually going to be what I was going to say. It's so sad that like it needs to be filled as opposed to eight episodes. That's all I've got. I have so much story to tell. How exciting. I'm going to have to find a way to get it all in. It doesn't feel like there's a lot of story to tell. No, it doesn't feel like there's any story to tell. Finding Thrawn could have been done in episode one. If it was written better, it could have been done later. But yeah, it could have happened in episode one. I don't give a fuck. I need to see. I need to understand this character before I care. But right now we're running on the whole like he's good in The Empire, a book that has nothing to do with this. He's in Rebels a lot and he's not very good in Rebels. Yeah, because people keep saying they're going to ruin him. But then they're like, well, no, they already ruined him. It's like, oh, well, that's that's fun, isn't it? Yeah, they try to do the thing where he's like very quietly authoritative. But instead, he just constantly sounds like sleepy. Like you just assume he's tywin-ish or an archetype that's similar. They're trying to make him tywin-ish, yes. But because it's a kid's show, he has this habit of sparing our protagonists because of like quote unquote, honor shit or whatever. Like on the implication that he wants to see what they do next or something when he just has them dead to rights. Yeah, that's what you learn in the first day of villain class. When you have the heroes, when you have the heroes in your prison or you have guns pointed at them just to fucking kill them. It's kind of the nature of having a hero and counter a villain is that there's only so many times that you can have that happen before. There has to be a confrontation that ends the conflict. I had this thought as well after the last episode about how in terms of trying to make action scenes happen and particularly lightsaber battles, that we have seriously devalued lightsaber battles in Star Wars. It used to be that when there was a battle, there was a significant consequence at the end of that battle. In A New Hope, Obi-Wan dies. An empire Luke loses his hand, returned to the Jedi. The battle of Vader loses his hand, loses his lightsaber and ultimately culminates in the destruction of the Emperor. In episode one, Qui-Gon and Darth Maul die. In episode two, Anakin loses his arm. In episode three, Anakin gets turned into Darth Vader. Every time that they have a lightsaber battle, the outcome matters here. We saw it in episode two. Ahsoka had that battle with that new guy, but it's just there so that they can have the fight. The delay. And he can get away so that they can have another fight again. And there'll probably be another lightsaber battle. There'll be several of them where it happens and it's just a thing that occurs, but the consequences are really not significant at all. Well, here's what you're wrong. The beam got stabbed. Yeah, that'd be an example to point to. They had a fight and she got hurt, but she was totally fine next episode. It was just there so that they could have a fight. It seriously, I just realized as we were watching this show, lightsaber battles used to be like, oh, shit, this is a really big deal. Now it's just like, yeah, it's just like any other encounter, any other fight. Part of writing is being able to have those moments where you have a villain and a hero communicating, talking or in some way interacting with each other that doesn't end the show. You have to come up with reasons why. And in a world where you have long distance communication that's extremely prevalent, you would think that there'd be plenty of ways for them to have back and forth. Or maybe there's a reason one of them can't kill the other. Like what if they both had parts of the map and they each needed each other's part or something like that? What if you had some reason for the villains to keep the heroes alive but to follow them or vice versa, where we can't kill the other side because of X-reason, we need such and such person. They are the ones who only know such and such detail or information. You gotta sit down in the writing room and you gotta think about it. How do we mix it up? They can't get Ezra without the help of the bad guys and bad guys can't get thrown without the help of the good guys. You sit down in the writer's room and you think of how you could make the story in some way interesting to a minor degree. Thinking of ways to create any drama whatsoever I don't think is particularly difficult. So it's kind of a miracle that Ahsoka just has no drama whatsoever going on. Yeah, I agree actually. I think you accidentally have something dramatic happen. You're not even pretending like she has something conflicting going on. Most of the time she's on screen, doesn't even look like she's bothered about anything. She's like, ah, whatever. The only time I've seen her remote is like a little smirk every now and then in wildly different contexts. So I don't know what it really means. But a smirk is just enough expression to where it doesn't count as an expression. I haven't watched all of Clone Wars, but Ahsoka was very different. I think I want to like sell the idea that she's done some growing up or something, but it doesn't really map when nothing about who she was, even as like a young adult is even remotely present in the person she is now. So there really isn't much of a person here now. You know, when people grow up, they just turn into boring losers, right? Well, they get old and I've heard old. Old is like the worst thing that can happen to you in any universe. It just turns you into either a coward or a blank slate. Yeah, in Star Wars, you've got to be worried. Never be old. I was going to say as well, by the way, after the first two episodes, like we've got hyper confirmation and connections to the Republic about like the dangers of a resurgence in the Empire and that they desperately actively searching for Thrawn, which is seen as like a, you know, he's a figure that combined Empire remnants together. So what I'm trying to say is like, they should go well beyond our three main characters now. Where's Luke? Absolutely Luke. Luke would be invested as fucking in stopping this from happening, but we can't afford him. I don't know. Maybe that he will. Maybe they'll bring him back. I hope not. They already know that the Sith are involved, which means Luke needs to be involved. Other than the first thing they do was like, oh shit, there's Sith around. I wonder what they were doing during the original trilogy. No, he's busy on his swamp island pretending to be Yoda. Just imagining Luke hearing about all of this because of the way the Jedi were like described to him and the idea he had about them is like this ancient order that's kind of gone in his life and his understanding until he became the last Jedi in a way. So what does he think when suddenly it's like, no actually there's like 15 of them running around still. There's a bunch of those Siths still too if you want to get on top of that. He would rock his world and we don't get to see any of it. Sabine. Sabine, wake up. You need to diffuse this bomb. Sabine wake up. You're going to solve all plot problems. Don't remind me of all this. It was so stupid. That's robot. Remember when she needed to blew up a hospital? If the robot waited, they wouldn't have a lead. Remember how thin this lead was? The droid type of man. How it immediately worked. Remember how she described these fuckers as being here because greed and then they actively defend? Do you think they're there for greed and money if they did that? Why would the windows shatter like that if she used her lightsabers to cut through it? It should just make it to like long holes. Isn't that interesting though? They said for the Empire is in like they believe in it. We got a taste of that idea maybe happening. As a joke in Mando. In one episode of Mando. Yeah. It never went on there. God, imagine that they had to work with a character who was Empire affiliated and actually believed in them. Well, remember they had that one episode in Mandalorian season three, episode three where they had like the rehabilitation program. And I was like, oh, that's something. That was something. I just get concerned because you start talking like that. And then I imagined if you told them that they were just here. Oh, we should put Cyril in this. Okay, you're right. Yeah. No. Oh, you're a warm wine hole. Don't boop boop boop boogie wales. Okay. This should eat up another five minutes or so. Why are you swinging at his weapon? I'm not sure what this proves or achieves. Yeah, you'd have to explain to me what this is supposed to do. If you say so. Was the goal to make them as straight as possible? I don't even know why that would matter. You don't need to line them with a lightsaber. I don't know if that means anything. Your skill with a weapon comes from your Mandalorian upbringing. Why would you say that to her? Like, wouldn't she think that and know that? You're training the body, but you must also open your mind. Oh, God, such generic lines. Here we go. Open your mind. Learning to wield the force takes a deeper commitment. So she is gonna learn to use the force then. She's gonna do the black hole training. She called her padawan last episode. According to Hu Yang, I'm the worst candidate to be a Jedi out of every Jedi he's ever known. She, by the end of the season, she's going to be the leader of the Thieves Guild, the Yarl of White Run. She's gonna run the fighter's skill as she'll be the mayor. This is a criticism from Plinkett that I completely agree with, where he said, in A New Hope, it was a fashioned sort of training thing that Obi-Wan just came up with on the spot. But suddenly it's become like the most known and fundamental training method for any Jedi ever. That one's been flanderized a lot like that. Why don't you just have her wear this for like a day and try to navigate through the ship and do things with the force? No, one scene doing this, and then it'll pay off one time later when she detects someone in darkness. Do you know where I am? Next to Hu Yang. Are you sure? Oh-ho-ho! So you can, wait, you can project voices into people's heads? And why would you hear it directionally if it's just in your mind? The reason we hear from directions is because sound waves hit one ear before the other. She can do it because of the force. Feel my presence. Oh, is it Christmas? How does she go about doing that? Take in all that is around you. How? You must feel the force. I know it's kind of hard to go into, but explain. No. I want to see a dark side training session on board of the light side ones. They're all the same. Yeah. Wouldn't it be cool to see a fucking light side force person not teach it all like this? It's always like this. Because remember, you have, like, in theory, order 66 killed all the Jedi and all the Sith are dead now. So you have all these, like, force-sensitive people in the galaxy. Like, how do they, like, get on? Like, oh, I can use the force, but how do I... It's like they have to restart almost. They have to figure out how to use the force again and use their powers and... Even Yoda did, like, strength and agility and stuff. Well, yeah, he had all the things where Luke had to work on his balance and he had to stand on his upside down on one arm while lifting a rock and he had to do flips and carry Yoda around. Jesus Christ! How did you... Wow! How do you... It's the force. What are you doing? What is the robot blink? Because he's an interesting guy. He's my favorite character in the show. Yeah, I mean, yeah, he's... Who's your second favorite? I was a really slow reaction. I was gonna say, there's no second favorite because no one else qualifies. That was so interesting. Yeah, we've eased up. Isn't that insane you were able to do that? Make an expression! Dude, we were at six and a half minutes. We really have eaten through the time already. Anger and frustration are quick to give power, but they also unbalance you. You can explain what that means relative to combat. Just have no patience. They're building power, dude. Don't you understand? Haven't she done all of this already, though? I've heard all this before. This is all the most basic Jedi shit. We've seen it all before, and I'm pretty sure they've done it before because that seems like fundamental basics. And she was a padawan with her for at least like a year or something. Yeah, that was apparently not in Rebels, by the way. That was between Rebels and this. Which is an interesting choice. I don't know why you wouldn't start it up here. Even before that, though, she did Jedi training with Kanan very briefly. She wielded the Darksaber. Darksaber's in that show, by the way. Is this the only outfit you have? Yes, the main character outfit. If you're a general, shouldn't he be dressed like a general? Look, it's Mon Mothma. No! Oh, fuck. Hera, you look well. How's young Jason? Look, they've acknowledged his son. Fine, Chancellor. In fact, he's on board. Somewhere. This is a military vessel. Causing trouble with Chopper, no doubt. I don't want to hear Mon Mothma say Chopper's name. My investigation into the attack on the Vesper led me to the Santhe shipyard. She uses the Sitha back. The Empire's reforming. Where I was attacked by Imperial Loyalists still working for Morgan Elspeth. All right. Well, let's interrogate them and see what they know. First strike. Double kill. Triple kill. Overkill. We have former Imperials working throughout every level of the New Republic government. Well, these guys are going for Thrown, though. Long live the Empire. Doesn't sound like the kind of loyalty we're looking for. Okay, we've established those ones we're attacked to. I believe their activity speaks to a large number. The elite know we know. It always does. Involving Thrown. I mean, it always does. Don't we know these things? It's not believing it. Dr. Admiral Thrown. No, Frankie Thrown, my brother. What's he going to do without an army? He's just a guy. A blue man. Yeah, but he's a really spooky, spooky blue bad. He could be on Thanos' planet, Farming Gooseberries or whatever. Yeah. If I could get approval to send a task force to the Dynab system, I could find out. Obviously, it proves. Isn't this just another attempt to gain New Republic resources to aid in what has ultimately been your personal quest to find Ezra Bridger? No, did you not hear all the words that I said? Yeah. Ezra vanished while fighting Thrown. And that you conveniently use the threat. You conveniently use Thrown. It's like, it's not convenient. I could use a threat of Thrown's return to acquire those resources that could be put to a more practical purpose. Like the what? Is he saying he needs proof? Were you ever in the war, Senator? No. Just sat back and waited to see you came out on top. Sat back. That bastard. So did my mothma. Look at you all. Pathetic. I don't know what that had to do with Thrown, though. Also, if you're just going to insult them, that's not going to get you. What I was going to say, that doesn't really have anything to do with what was being discussed. And we also don't know the context of his involvement. Maybe there is nothing he could do, or the Imperials are breathing down his neck all the time. The Imperial fleet is scattered and broken. They have no centralized command. Unless Thrown returns. They're wanting to get one. Yeah. Exactly. Do they not have, if she only needs proof, then provide it, right? Thrown is not your typical Imperial officer. Yeah, he's a good one. I know because I'm not here. He killed friends, people who were like family to me. Yeah, all of them do. What do you mean? You were in a war. Yes, they were soldiers in a war. Are you going to mention those Sith you were encountering? Most of your life fighting a war, it was three years, right? Wait, that was it? Six years? That was how she made Thrown seem special, is that he killed people she liked. It is my opinion that your friend, Ezra Bridger, heroically died with him. You don't know that. How has the story become that they died? I'm so confused. Allow me a moment to speak with my colleagues. You are not a good negotiator. Genuinely, the impression I got was they don't believe it. So can we get proof? Can I get an investigator? And then if the investigator... Yeah, let me have one scout ship or whatever, scout team to go to the... They tracked the fucking ship, guys. Hello? Mom, mom. Is it true, Antibene is going to be a Jedi? Is your hair green? Yeah, because he's half-Twilight. That's how that works. Is that what's happening, to get green hair? Yeah, sure, I guess. Humans and Twilex are compatible genetically? Yeah, let's not think about that. Don't think about it. Of course, he didn't have to be hideously scarred in half and half of each creature. He didn't have to just be a guy with a green tint to his hair. That ship was annoying. I felt like they were all talking past each other. It's delays. What would have happened is she tells them as a respected general, I have a very strong reason to believe that Thrawn has been brought back in. We're tracking a ship that's going to reach him. We need a team, and they provide resources. Can I get resources to go get him? In fact, well, we're short on resources. Shouldn't she have the power to summon a team of some kind? She's a general, whatever that means. She said nothing was classified to her, so... And again, she's a general. Well, and it wouldn't take long to get people to do it on their own preference as well. It's Thrawn. Force resides in all living things, even you. Okay. All right, now the pause. If that's true, then why doesn't everyone use it? Oh, we're doing this? Talent is a factor. Talk! What? Oh, doesn't she know this already? But training and focus are what truly defines someone's success. What were you teaching her that whole time? Thoughtful music. Thoughtful music, yes. That's your opinion, show. Not everyone can handle the type of discipline it takes to master the ways of the force. Whoa. Wow, she moved a cup a little. Start small. What does that mean? How do I start small? What does that mean? Can you, like, add teacher? Once you can move the cup, you'll be able to move buildings. Ahsoka, I'm going to give this my best. Do you call her your first name? Fucking Benna. Mrs. Tano, right? Or Miss Tano? I don't know. Or Master, because, you know, she's an ally. Yeah, she should be calling her Master, right? I just kind of call her hey you. Any word from her about our support from the New Republic? No, not yet. Can you communicate while you're in hyperspace with other ships that are not in hyperspace? I think we've been shown they can do that before, yeah? I think. She's frustrated, still a challenge for her. Do you really need to tell us now that she's frustrated and it's not easy for her? We just saw that. You took 15 minutes to get, okay, 13 minutes. The Jedi Order would not have accepted her. She is not an acceptable candidate. Well, he was the one encouraging her to do it last episode. Isn't she already fucking amazing enough without being a Jedi? Now he's like, she wouldn't be accepted. Was it more so Harrow who was encouraging her? Well, but he gave her the lightsaber and he was like, do it, Louza. I don't need Sabine to be a Jedi. I suppose you do come from a long line of non-traditional Jedi. By a long line, do you mean her and then Anakin? That's not the case. Hey, if there are two points, then the line in Bedouin... Oh, to be fair, maybe the Count Qui-Gon too. I'm not going to say this Qui-Gon count. She's going to do it like right away. It's going to nudge the forces in all of us. Shut up. Oh, shit. I don't know. I don't know like the process. I can't relate to this in any way. I have no mental concept of what she's supposed to be thinking. She's got to think about how the force is in all of us. Okay. Have the laws make a failure. Training sequence where it's just, yeah, just do the thing. Do it. Yeah, we don't know what she's thinking. Now try again and do it. I have no idea what we're supposed to conceptualize her thoughts as. It's so funny as well because of like how, if we actually had a Jedi who's at best could only slightly move a cup and they've been training for like their whole lives. Oh, create a lot of really great emotional tension for him. Hey, I thought if I spoke to Gabe for like a feather and he's like, when you can move this feather, we'll talk. Well, props, it didn't nudge. Restrain. Unfortunately, I won't be joining you for this one. Yeah, I think it's so weird that you're able to communicate while you're in hyperspace. The Senate committee wouldn't approve the mission. They won't approve the mission. They're literally tracking the stolen hyperspace stuff to people who intend to go to Thrawn, but the Republic don't care. But it's not up to me. I don't just follow the order. Error. Okay. We've entered the Denab system. All comm transmissions are being jammed. Wait, we'll hang on. So their comms are jammed and they're going to basic, they don't even know where they're going. They don't know what's going to be here. It could be like, They could come out and there's just a star destroyer. Yeah, they could just get killed. I love that. They're not going, they just got confirmed they're not having backup. Yeah. Don't you guys think this is dangerous? Why'd we drop out of hyperspace so far from the planet? Because of course you drop out of hyperspace far from a planet because people can detect when you drop out of hyperspace. This has been a rule since Empire Strikes Back. My God. They're actually making fun of him for being careful. Stand and Jedi mission protocol when approaching an unknown situation. That's the Jedi protocol. Yeah. No, that's just normal person protocol. They're all going to die. I don't see how they don't die here. Oh, never mind. They're just going to die. Here we go. Oh, we're down. We're down at six on one. So that means we've got four we can blow up because, yeah, special lady and special man. I am tracking two squadrons of three crafts. Just say six, please. This is stupid. Why are you smirking? Because it's fun. It's Star Wars. You can't in mode. Man, I can't think of another time that this might be referencing. I wonder. I see you got rid of my presets. I never needed them. So you say? We're soaked with you. Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum. So they're fucked. It's six on one. There's no way. Yeah, it's over. No, they're just all going to miss and then they die. And they've got a shot a little bit. That was exactly how it was shot in the middle. Yeah. I feel like I've seen this scene with the fellas. It's familiar. That's kind of remarkable, actually. Boring. He keeps doing this. It's like the fifth significant thing he's just taken from a new hope. I like the shots are just doing nothing. They won't do anything ever. Why is it not doing anything? Shields, they matter this time. There won't be a later. Oh my God, that expression. Rosario, please. I know you can act. No, why are you going super fast? Get above it and then shoot down. It's space. Tell me what you need. Move on my signal. Copy. Oh, so swear. In what direction? But we'll just follow you. Yeah, they can move like that too. If anything, they're more maneuverable. Because of course they're more maneuverable. Wow. Don't worry about it. You'll get another chance. We've got two more incoming. Dead ahead. Dude, she's got the same like emotional expression throughout this whole scene. I'm going to split them. I'm going to split them. Good work. This is like, but they can't. They don't care. Nobody cares. They're at a cartoon seed with no stakes at all. They can't hurt you. Apparently you're invulnerable to their little lasers. Nothing's happening. We're entering phase two now. This hip's going to get damaged or something by a random shot. Looks like the same as all of the other ones. Oh, look at that. Oh my god. She just arrayed them. This is so shit. Why did you just now get a visual confirmation? If I had to guess, I would say it is some sort of hyperspace ring. I am so bored. They should have been destroyed ages like seven times over. Are you guys still here, huh? Yeah, there's still one more they can destroy. Morgan, they're entering your sector. Your sector? Does this thing have guns? This whole thing a sector? I'm surprised you let them get this far. Well, apparently our lasers don't do anything. You let them get this far? Enemy ships. It's called clobba, love. You're going to deal with them. Do we not have missiles or anything? Oh boy. Here we go. Oh, you're double dead now. Miss, miss, miss. I'm going to open my wing and wait for my signal. I'm going to go up the voice again. Oh, he's going to voice mutilate us. Hello, Ezra. The fighters are broken off. You better get up here. What's your plan here anyway? Now you've found this thing. What can it be subversive and make him go? As you wish. Open fire. So they're fucked. They're absolutely fucked. Well, no, Rags. It's this flying straight at them. That's the last thing they expect. What's that? They're like laser flat guns? They did that last time as well. I don't know those existed. They're doing the world war II thing again because you saw the planes looked up. I called them planes and the spaceship's chasing them. Why not just have them shoot actual shells that explode? They don't have to be lasers. Just use flash. Well, it wouldn't matter. They're moving right at them, which means they can't hit them. Oh, that's true. That's true. Yeah. No matter what weapon you use, if someone comes right at you, it's just going to miss. What's the point if this isn't destroying the ship? What's the point of lasers? What's the point of lasers? Well, it's the point of anything. We did this already in episode two. Like this exact thing of just a bunch of lasers just completely missed. This is intolerable. You want it closer. Deflectors of 10%. Oh, that's just how long it takes. How does space battles not all take like a week? Well, yeah. And why don't everybody get the deflectors of this ship? Just a little. Scan complete. Damage that won't mean anything minutes from now. Destroyed. They are off our scope. How are they all feel scoped? Oh, well, no. How are they off your scope? Fuck you're talking about. They're right in the middle of the ring. You can't see inside your own ring. You can't look out the window. I have no idea where they are. I hate this shit. It's so sad. Why would it have slowed down at space? I need you to run a full diagnostic. I bleep. Prioritize to being. We can't help but yank up. Get on it. You could sound like you give a shit. Come on. You almost got them. Oh, yeah. Don't go finish them off. You're right out there. Kill them. All you. They were chasing them, right? So they just see a floating ship. It's easy. Kill them. Yeah, they would have seen that. And by the way, if they're down, you don't need to like fly around. You can just stop in front of them and just start shooting. Just go up. Just go up there. Oh, what? Hang on. Oh, no. She does it. I'm going out there. Don't do a repair like an EVA. She's going to put on a space suit and try to fix it. It's going to happen. Lightsaber fight spaceship. They've done it before in Visions, right? It's about time we do it in live action. Wait, she's going to go there with a lightsaber? Oh, actually. Oh, no, man. Oh, she has a special. Oh, no. No, you're joking. No. Why are you walking like normal? You're in space currently. Oh, no. But no, you can't deflect like cannons with lightsabers right now. It's way too big. OK, now she's multiple. No, shoot what she isn't. What? Well, that's not how that works. You float. You've jumped. No, no. She's got a. She isn't. If she has gravity boots or something, is that what they're? This is so shit. Oh, look. Why are you aiming at her? Oh, you didn't need to drive by. You could just stop and shoot. Why did you get within lightsaber range? That was your caring face. Oh, that looks real. Oh, look. Fucking hate this character. Did you see her face when she thought she might be dead? She's like, oh, no. A slight piece of emotion. Thank you. No, pull the light. No, pull the ship with a force. You can't kill anymore. So could those two main characters. Leah, can you lose them? Or are we not going to think about that? Oh, she has one. It's fine. How is that? Why is that not doing any damage? I don't know. Disruptive fields, force, cram of beams. It's good that there's this high rate of life machine cycle on the guns on one side. What was the trick? Was it mine? It's always on a tie. The enemy pilots to shoot at the one guy. Maybe she bypassed the compressor. I just don't understand. We're still going. Yeah, by the way, nothing is actually going to progress in this episode, is it? No, nothing. I don't think so. We have less than 10 minutes left. Remember, in A New Hope, wasn't it like three Thai fighters who were a huge deal for the Millennium Falcon? Oh, no, the whales. What the fuck? How are you flying? It's the hyperspace whales, don't worry. Yeah, Rags, it makes sense. Are they just going to hit your ride? Please don't. It's just so much money to be spent on crap. Look at them. They're just here. Even he's like, what the fuck is this? What show am I in? The whale planet. What's to even be said? It's so boring. Dude, there's nothing. Have you noticed as well, the way it's like this ever exists. The sound of their guns firing is like, it's like pathetic. And they don't show them doing any damage. So that doesn't help. They sound weak and they apparently are just really, really weak and they can't hit a goddamn thing. Nope. Why is it that's mean? What the fuck is that? Why did you do this? Wait, that editing was interesting. They were about to die. They were about to die. How long is this going to go? No opening time. We're going to waste time. Waste as much time as possible. This is the end of the episode. What happened to your cannon? Use your cannon. Oh, they lost them. Nice one, guys. She's had the same expression for three episodes, that lady. Wait, what is that HUD supposed to be? I don't actually know how it helps at all. It's just like a weird random tunnel. I know you're thinking, wow, you didn't have to say it. Don't you have some sort of a screen that shows you? No. I won't lose them for long. OK. Why wouldn't I? Why? Why would you lose them for anything? Oh, he's just better now. What did I miss? We almost died. Multiple times. Damn. That's hilarious. He fought ships in space with her lightsabers. She did. That's something they did. Yeah. I streamed a game today and some people told me this episode was much better than the first two. I mean, it's shorter, so I agree. It's shorter, that's true. Is it because there was lasers and lightsabers more? The thing is restraint. There's no restraint. Because this is Dave Filoni making a show about his OC. He's never going to show restraint. This is unbelievable. Like all the progress we made in half a fucking hour is they followed the tracker to the planet and landed. We could have done this in the opening scene. Why does she have an imperial insignia on the... No, they can sense the heat signature of the ship and everything. And the force, they could sense your force presence, right? No. Are you really just looking visually? They can't look down, though. The cockpit is covering everything up. They must be hiding in the forest. Let's regroup. Hey, can we get a scan of the planet for the ship or something? No. There's no continuity of technology, I feel. There's just no... There's just whatever is whenever. Every single episode is just whatever happens, happens, I guess. Why did you not keep it off? What if they turn around in another pass? I was going to say if padding is still here. There are six hyperdrive engines in place with the final one being set into position. So there's three on the side and a seventh on the bottom? A craft with these power levels and configuration would be capable of a hyperspace jump of astonishing speed and... Shouldn't this be enough for the Republic to get involved? Wouldn't these have been built before? You just sent the schematic. No, it's jammed. Signals jammed. Well, then hyperspace back. No, none of that. The Jedi archive speak of intergalactic hyperspace lanes between galaxies, which used to follow the migration paths of Star Whales, named Perkles. Star Whales. Star Whales. Star Whales. Pulled them that in the universe, please. Because we can't use our incomprehensible computing power to just like... Ooh, since the music. Come up with a lane. Are they going to end up using the Star Whales to destroy the hyperspace ring? Oh, no, we're using that ring because we've got to get to throne. The Jedi have taken refuge in the forest. It's not going to do a fucking agent. So this could be a battle in the next episode, Dan. No, you come with us because you're a Jedi and also you can sense the force presence of us. Okay, so we're going to stand here. It's going to be them in the forest. Yeah, it'll actually have to be at least episode six before the fucking ring is used. Ahsoka and this guy will have a fight and it will be very traumatic, but both of them will... Whenever you're ready, holy fuck. Yeah, but he's looking mischievous and evil, sinister. That's it? Yeah, we did it. Yep, there you go. That's it. That was bad. Nothing. Fucking nothing episode. We just had the Republic say nah, and then we arrived on the planet. That's it. Yeah, that's all we did. No, but you're making out how to leave out that Sabine was doing her training. Yeah, she learned so much. Training that I thought she already had, but apparently she was brand new learning about how anyone can have the force. She didn't know that. Isn't it incredible the restraint that they showed that she couldn't use the force in this episode, but by the end of the season, she'll be very good at it. Oh, she'll move a cup. By the end of the season, she's going to beat one of these established like Sith kind of people or something. Yeah, with the force probably, but you see that they could have had to be really good at it in this episode, but they're... Bravo. Such a passionless show. It feels like it's gone to the point where I think they told Rosario Dawson, like, do not show too much emotion. Ahsoka is a character at this point that's very, very like stoic and strong. She wouldn't let her emotions control her now. She's supposed to be the one that everyone else learns from or something. Because I don't know how else this happened. But wouldn't it be interesting if she wasn't like that? Yeah, it would. Especially because she's not a Jedi technically, right? She left the order. So it'd be kind of interesting if she was kind of forging out her own path and her own way of embodying the ideals of the Jedi without necessarily being, I guess, archetypal. That seems like an opportunity, but it seems like they've foregone that opportunity. Everybody's just dull and boring. I like the robot. I don't like anybody else. Yeah. Oh, can I make a prediction? No. Sure. They're gonna fail to stop the hyperspace ring, and it fucks off, and they're still there, so they have to use the space whale to get to Thrawn and use, like, force manipulation to use one of the space whales to get there. I think that's... Yeah. I think you're on that. The space sequence was so terrible. It was so boring. They just keep lowering the stage. I don't think I've ever seen a worse depiction of space combat. I just... We got a... Like, what's the point? What's the point of guns? What is the point of having guns? What are we doing when we spend 10 minutes when it's just moving left and right, up and down, as all of the... And it's always missing, and then they get damaged. It gets repaired in, like, three minutes, and then back to... And weaving, moving left and right, but then, oh, look, it's the whales. That's an escalation, except the same thing is still happening. They're just moving around while the bad guys keep missing. They miss forever. I just don't understand how you miss that much. It's not that it matters because their guns are useless. It's gotta be emphasized again. Asoka fought spaceships with her lightsabers. She deflected their shots and was jumping around with her gravity boots, I guess, chopping up a ship as it was flying past. I still can't believe I saw that, but it did happen. I was there when it happened. Someone wrote this and thought it was okay. They do that a lot. That action scene actually lasted for about half the episode. It started about halfway, and it basically included just the end of the episode. It kept going. It was about 15 minutes. I can't get over how shit that from Asoka was. I just can't get over it. That's... You could have let her... You could have let her say something a bit more impassioned when she thinks their lives are on the line, you know? You could. It's almost as though the writers know that their lives aren't on the line and therefore the characters know that too. Yeah, they treat it like a joke, but ha-ha, we almost died. The tension on the Millennium Falcon when it was being pursued by three Thai fighters in A New Hope was famous. That's like... It is famous. Misunderstand... So, like, when Luke shouts, you know, I got one, because he's happy that he got one, that they misunderstand that to be, ah, yeah, so they should all be pretty happy-go-lucky during this whole thing, not realizing that that was after like a minute of just tense action. I wonder if anyone's going to have the bowls to post, like, the images from A New Hope and images from this and be like, I love the intertwining of, you know, these themes and these reflections, these echoes through time, and just be like, shut the fuck up. You know somebody's going to do that. They tried it again in The Force Awakens, so it's already been copied. Yeah, it's boring. When Luke is, you know, when he's ecstatic, they was able to get one. He even, like, turns around, and he's like almost... He distracts himself with how happy it is that he was able to get one, and then you get the reply from Han Solo as he's like, yeah kid, don't get cocky. He's focusing on him, flying the Millennium Falcon, and he's trying to get him to, you know, to focus again. And again, that was three TIE fighters, three basic bitch TIE fighters, pursuing them through an asteroid field. I don't think there is. They're in an asteroid field, right? That's exactly what I'm thinking. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wait, wait, wait. Let's do six, and there's no asteroids, and they still miss, and if they hit, it doesn't do anything. Then they get shot by flag lasers, whatever the fuck that is. You get half exploded and it's like, oh, did we destroy them? They're out of scope. It's like, what the fuck do you mean they're out of scope? They're like inside of you. They're in the ring. In the ring. You can't see the out of scope. You can't see the inside of your ring. You're the most viewable moment, most scannable. You might be behind the ring, they still don't get shot, because I guess those cobalt blasters can't turn around, even though it looked like they could. I was going around. Damaged, but nothing in the cockpit is damaged, you know what I mean? Because I have no idea. They do sparks or whatever. I don't see how he got damaged. The ship didn't sustain any real damage. Like, the ship looks fine, and the substance was placed between the wiles. It doesn't look like it was shot at. It's funny because after they get disabled for a little bit, there's debris flying around, but it's so tiny, and there's nothing on the ship that indicates where it's coming from. Look at this, what is that? Oh yeah, the ship, there's no damage on the ship. The model, there's no, there's nothing's broken on the back. It looks like it's just a ship, but it shows debris. But I think debris comes from something. So if you look out your window and you see pieces of your ship floating around, that means they're no longer attached to your ship. Something's broken. And I mean, it's like you said, if there was sparks and a big like shock from the front, they're real lucky that that gloss didn't break, otherwise they'd be dead. And yeah, by the way, the Republic conversation was basically, I want more soldiers to go and stop the potential rise of Thrawn. And they're like, uh, I mean, you know, I... I think I'm gonna get that off. Man, that's convenient that Thrawn comes up now so you can have a resource like, what? They don't believe that Thrawn is actually there and that they think she's going for Ezra. That's not good that they have that little trust in... Yeah, you'd think that she'd have some sway, but I guess not. Well, did she mention that there are Sith? There are multiple Sith with the red lights and everything, there's three of them. She didn't even mention it, I don't think, did she? I guess it's just really awkward that... You feel like her word would be worth a lot in and of itself. You know, that she made her a general. Now we've got probably one of the most expensive piece of tech in history, one of them, obviously, there's lots. It's a device that's likely going to break records in terms of hyperspace travel and we know why they're doing it. I just find it unreal that she couldn't even manage to get them to give her a group of people to just test all this out, see what's going on. Someone of you guys already pointed out, she's a general. She could have probably just said like, hey, you one ship, you go with them. Why didn't she go? She went on the last mission. She probably will go. That would be my guess that they had there. You know how they did the signal getting cut out that she'll personally go so that she can be part of the team when they go to the other galaxy. They'll probably want to keep her around. And I don't see how with who she is and what she's done that she wouldn't be able to muster up in the same way they do in Rogue One. Remember, it's like they deny the mission and then they just do it anyway because a bunch of people are willing and interested. How would you not be able to say like, they're trying to get thrown, the idiots at the top. Don't believe me for some reason. I need help. Does this take place after Mando season three? Because if it does, they would have to know about everything that was happening on Mandalore, that there was like empire remnants that was gathering. The inseam strength. They had a secret base there. And the Mando stopped them, sure. But I mean, if they know about that, then they have to know that there is actually some amount of organization happening, that the empire remnants are beginning to gather up in a way that might be dangerous. Yeah. And if you just ignore them, they're not just going to go away. They're going to try and organize. So you can't just say, yeah, whatever, we'll deal with it later or whatever. They said there's a lot of imperial remnants they got to take care of, which is like, I buy that, but obviously she's saying throne's more important. For some reason, they need to be convinced of that. I don't know the state of throne in universe anymore. I goes from- Oh, he's treated. He said like, oh, grand admiral throne, like she seemed worried. She knew who he was. Yeah. So on that point, it's just about proof, I guess. And it's like, go get it. You'd think that they would let her take one ship. That was a fleet. One ship. Also, and this is a character commentary, I think, she knows two very good friends heading into a place where she can't communicate with them and may very well be a force that's intending on getting thrown. Shouldn't she think they're dead or dying? Absolutely. Well, I'm saying she'll come, but it won't happen again. She should have come already. The second they say we're not sending anyone with you, she'll be like, right, and leaves and gets into her own ship. And to be honest with you, Ahsoka and Sabine shouldn't have gone because there's no reason to think they'd live. She doesn't seem to understand the urgency because she doesn't really express it in the meeting with Mon Mothma and the rest of them either. She will show up at the end of the episode to save those two when they get in trouble. That's my guess now. Yeah, so we can have the rebels reunion. Maybe we'll see Thrawn next episode. Maybe at the end of the episode, it's like, ooh, they're coming. Yeah, I can really know. But yeah, or maybe next. You know, who knows when he's going to show up. I just can't get over that treating like a pretty smart general with this godlike reverence as if just finding him is going to swing the tide entirely just because he exists. Well, it's funny they have full permission to kill him whenever they want to because he's not in the sequels. Wow, yeah, nobody's never really gone. It's true. Imagine an angle where this is a sort of desperation thing for the Imperials. We're kind of directionless and scattered if there's anyone who can form some sort of substantial resistance out of all of these disparate elements, it's going to be him. Rather than just, yeah, we're going to get him and when we do, we're just going to sweep the Republic away. Yeah, I find him and then he gets brought back and he just looks at their resources and says, I can't do anything. Or he just says, listen, I got an idea. I'm going to call him Snoke. God, they might do that. They might in some half a story with someone looking at us. The cloning shit came up with Mando Season 3, the Force Clones or whatever. Because I still got their Mando movie that they're building up to. Oh, no way. Mando movie? Yeah, remember? Dave Fallon is directing a Mando movie. And I hate that you reminded me now. That's going to be incredible, I'm sure. It's going to be really good. It's going to be remarkable. I could stop. All right, fine. Let's still grab episode three. Hooray! Hooray! That was nice good. I'm excited for episode four. Can't wait to see what they do in the Red Forest.
