 with Fury and Mola. That's the situation. Hello, everyone. Welcome back to another Monday. The situation is that we love to make women uncomfortable. Woo. I need one of those like Gary has one of those clappings. I mean, you got to get that. Yeah. So how does that feel when when a male says it? I guess not very OK, is it? No. Typically, this last week in Star Wars has been pretty interesting. Seems like it's catching wildfire now. Everyone's chiming on it, even Elon Musk. And if you guys aren't new or privy to the information, the director of the Ray movie, Charmene Obey Genoy, is stirring up some wildfire, basically saying it's time that a woman shaped Star Wars. And a lot of people are having issues with that, including me. It's a strange comment to make straight away, because this is like, oh, shit. I guess she's ignoring all the other women who've had a hand in Star Wars, point in its history. All right. Marshall Lucas. Of course. But KK herself, it feels like she should be KK herself, yeah. Getting something to the emperor, tips of appreciation. Did you manage to catch what Sadia Kahn said regarding it? So I'll be honest with you, I've been on a few shows where this has been referenced, but I have apparently missed the primary context. I have not been shown. I think I've seen clips here and there, but I don't know. I know the main cringe, how I'd but it. Yes. See, about what Sadia Kahn said or what? I don't think I've seen anything from Sadia Kahn now. OK, let me show you. So I interviewed her on my Theory Talks channel. Oh, OK. No, yeah. This is what she said. This are very fragile. I see. OK. The final question I have is going to be a Star Wars question. OK, I've never seen powers in my life. It relates to what we're so. So once Disney took over Star Wars, they started to change the whole infrastructure around and really kind of dog the man and focus on the women a lot in the sense where there wasn't much training in this. There's a new director for one of the Star Wars movies and she says it's about time that a woman come in and shape the Star Wars movies and galaxy. And it's causing a huge uproar on the internet. So many people are saying this is ridiculous. We've had women in Star Wars. It's even when I hear it over and over again, it's just so ridiculous. I just can't get over it. You do you do get a point of view of just like, why are we focusing on this shit? Why isn't it about the characters of the story? Why do you keep saying the women are leading it? What's that about? We know what the funny thing is isn't even the movie like written by a man. Yeah. Well, there's so many films in history that have been written by women that don't get. We don't we don't often say like, man, do you love American psycho, the female lead, the female organized film or the female written. It was like, no, we just say American psycho. We don't do the weird thing of. No, yeah, exactly. Right. And I love Ryan's rhetoric on it with the whole Patty Jenkins thing comparison. Yeah, there's the celebration of women for creating film should almost be the same as men where men make it. They make it. The name gets attached to the achievements of the film. We move on. We don't go like, well, wait a second. We need a parade for the fact that this was a woman that did it. The funny thing with this is there hasn't even been made yet. I know it's weird. I don't know. But listen to what she says. It's quite it's quite good. It's before and other people are saying, well, you know, people's egos that are having a problem with this are very fragile and their masculinity is fragile. What's your overall consensus when a female director wants to come in and reshape something and say, you know, it's a plant that flag that, hey, I'm a woman. And, you know, hear me roar. Here is my way of making this sort of franchise, which is already established now something that's feminine dominant or female dominant, whatever it might be, instead of just a good story. Yeah, I think what happens in particularly in Western cultures where women have it so easy, but they pretend they know what happens with women who generally have it quite easy. They enjoy victimhood because that's the only way that they can feel part of other people struggle. What makes human beings feel alive is when they're a bit struggling when they're going through something where they've gone through a bit of trauma, they've gone through something and make some feel alive. What's happened with women in the Western world, particularly is because there is no real oppression, but they want to be a victim so bad because victimhood is just a way of kind of short cutting sympathy. Everyone just, it's just short cut entitlement. You get what you want without having to earn it because you just happen to be a victim. So what happens is they want to start finding places where they can be a victim and then transform it so that they can become a hero. So what they'll do is say, oh, we need more women in this particular sport. Nobody watches them. Nobody wants women in there, but they'll just stamp their authority so they can be a local hero. Do we need more women in Star Wars? No, we don't. Women don't even watch Star Wars, but they don't even care about it. It's a man's little thing. Let them have it. But they want to be like, oh, there's such a deprivation. We've got to be in it so they can be a mini hero. When you don't have anything outside of your gender as a way of being proud of yourself, you use your gender as a shortcut for entitlement and heroic stances. So I would just say, unfortunately, it is the norm in Western cultures to kind of over-identify with your gender and then over-identify with victimhood. It's a way of getting a shortcut to being a hero. And as a result, it's just there to desire. And also what it does is keeps the power in the hands of the women. And whenever you redirect power entirely to women, just like if it was entirely to man, it creates an unhealthy society. If the power is totally in men's hands, it would be unhealthy. If it's totally in women's hands, it's also unhealthy. But what we're doing is, I remember in an environment, I did a talk and it was a mainly Gen Z, very young generation. I couldn't believe how feminine the men were. Everybody looked androgynous. I couldn't believe. And I just said, you would just take the normal 18-year-old boy would have been considered as a really feminine man years and years ago. They would have seen him as like super, super feminine or they would have just assumed he's homosexual. In this day and age, that's just how the men are come. So they've lost the masculinity. Yeah. And so what's happening is the culture is creating the very men women will not desire in the future. By doing this, you're gonna create a bunch of men that you will no longer be sexually attracted to. And as a result, you'll be more miserable in the long run. Well, Sadio, thank you for your time. Thank you. We can everyone find you on one page. So there's that. And that's coming from a psychologist herself. So. Well, I'm really listening to the almost human nature part that she touched on of like we're almost like by design problem solvers. If we had every single thing we could ever want provided to us instantly, it would create like a hell. There's a couple of sci-fi stories about that, right? Like where they solve struggle and then the whole world like everyone just dies or the dead inside sort of thing. Nothing to work toward, nothing to achieve. And so yeah, like, because a lot of the media would reflect that films about that need to bring you down and then go back up so that you can feel the characters low point and then struggle to go up video games, right? Problem solving, defeating enemies, feeling victorious, like fills that sort of hole. So to speak. Yes, yes. Fantasy. So yeah, if you've got nothing to celebrate about yourself in terms of achievements, you start like, I've never liked this whole celebrating parts yourself that are almost like immutable. Even to the point of just being like, I am a man. That gives us that. That's pretty cool. It's like, what? No, you got like a chief shit to be cool as a man. Thanks for a woman. Yeah. Human. Yeah, I don't really know what is going on. Like why is even there such an outcry? It's, if a, I really would love to see what would happen if a man were to say something like this. Is this just no chance that man could say something like this, I don't think? No, they'd be fired. You know, they'd probably lose their marriage. It would just be over. But so why do we allow women to have this sort of flexibility? I don't know if it's a bit condescending in a sense that we allow some of the commas to go uncriticized in sort of these like programs or whatever, because it's just like, the woman said the thing sort of thing. I think it is condescending, especially to women because it's just like, oh, that's kind of fucked up. They said that. Yeah. No, it's not okay. But for some reason, you know, whatever it, and people like to always, you know, these grifters, they really, you know, they call us grifters, they're the grifters because they literally make shit up in their head, surprisingly, and then they believe it. Right? So it's like, oh, you don't like what she says because you have a fragile ego. It's like, well, that has nothing to do with it. What about all the other women who have made stars? Hey, there are a couple of things that men said don't like, you know, a fragile ego for that either, okay, just disagreement. I think that stems from men who are just trying to sort of over exemplify their fragile ego, to be honest. It shows. I mean, true, even if you have a mediocre IQ, you'll be able to understand that, but these guys, I'm loving the term soy boys. It's unfortunate. Do you see that guy that lost his shit? I gotta show you. Oh, I saw someone sharing a clip like it. I didn't watch it yet, I meant to. I suppose you could show me, if you want, yeah. Jesus. Lost his mind. Man, reach down into your pants, find your fucking balls and your cock and be okay with it. We can take a woman directing a film in Star Wars and live. We're all gonna fucking survive. I swear to God, you guys want to come off like your tough motherfuckers and you're... He goes a little good fellas on us. What the fuck is this piece of shit? There are a bunch of... Yeah, I don't know what to do with it. It's like, I'm not even fully aware of the car. It's like, clearly the problem isn't simply a woman directing Star Wars. That is not the problem. No, but that's what they like to hop on to. I don't really know what the issue is. It's kind of strange, but... Like you said, if they announce some guy director, it doesn't matter who. And then he said that thank goodness a man can direct the story of Star Wars now. We'll be like, what? Why would you say, of all things you could say, okay? Who cares? Hey, Adam, I've seen you write this a couple of times here, so I'm gonna send you the link. You know, we don't have too much to talk about today, but we can make it entertaining for everyone. So I'm gonna send you a link. If you would like to tell me your Instagram or your Twitter, I'll send you a link right now. You can hop in and have a discussion with us. Not up or shut up, baby. Her quote was on the context of a documentary that, not this again, about the honor killing women in Pakistan in hopes of men changing their views about it. It is important to know what we accuse her for. Yes, of course, and what she made was, I haven't seen her film, but it's obviously very important and I stand with what she, her sentiments, of course. But I don't think that applies to everything considering all of the other remarks that she's made, which is literally only doubled down on that one remark that she had in response to her film, which, to be honest, I don't believe it was just into her film. I think she's an activist. I think she truly does not like men. And I think that she's really making that vocal with all of this, it's time a woman-shaped Star Wars bullshit. And again, I really encourage you all to kind of just think for a second if a man were to ever say that, it's time a man-shaped Star Wars. And all of the other remarks, oh my gosh, it'd be the end of the world, it'd be just game over for his entire life in Hollywood, unless he's doing his own thing. But you can't sort of just pick and choose what you wanna believe and just go along with this narrative that you're trying to be like, oh, I'm just such a good person. No one is saying that her movie about those disgusting men wasn't good. No one is ever saying anything like that. So I don't think you can kind of even insinuate anything like that, but you can definitely look at her rhetoric and definitely look at the things she says and easily see that she just obviously has an agenda. She has, as she said, she is an activist. She's not even a filmmaker. Yeah, like I said, I haven't seen more of the context of the class, but just going from the idea in isolation of finally a woman can direct the story, I just thought it was interesting as a sort of ignoring all the other women involved in Star Wars. Well, it just seems like, anything women are very centric nowadays in Star Wars. And I don't think that's bad or good. I think that's great. It's in a sense, it's nice to be able to just focus on other characters that we weren't really focusing on before, but not at the behest of anyone else. It's almost like we're kind of like replacing. Like, well, why can't we just focus on both? I feel like the original trilogy did a great job of that, focused on all of the characters, primarily following Vader's journey through Luke. And then we saw Leia and how she was heroic and we saw Han and supporting characters, but now it's just, it's like they're really trying to make a point. And you see it with everything that they do. With the people they hire, their remarks, and even the Andy Gutierrez lady that was on the Star Wars show all the time with the Luke fanboy tears, all this bullshit. It's just like, why are you guys poking so much at fans that literally built this fandom? And then going back and saying, whoa, you guys are toxic misogynists, what are you doing? It's, no, no, no. We just don't like the way you guys are bullying us and being passive aggressive. What do you think? I have been annoyed with loads of the master of discussion of almost all media, certainly more recently than before. Like when I was younger, I didn't even, I don't know about you, but when I was super young, I really only knew directors. I didn't even know necessarily writers following them, but these days, very hyper aware of everything that goes on because of the fact that it gives you such a great insight into what you're going to be given. And one of the examples I would give, you said you, I can't remember if you said you watched House of the Dragon or not. No. So me and Gary were watching it. We were surprisingly liking it, right? And then the episode ends and it starts up the, behind the episode sort of stuff, special feature where they start talking about, there's some of these people who are like, the women of House of the Dragon show us that women when given power can be, we were just like, what the, what the, like why, why, we were talking about, like we were loving talking about the characters, the world and the little sides of things. At the end of the show? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So like the show ends, credits play, and then it starts up as part of the thing online of like, I can't remember what it was called, it was just like behind the scenes sort of thing. And the people talking about it were like, can you stop talking about your show? Like we actually like your show a lot. Like you giving insights into it is actually like, making it come across as even more like, that the example I would give you of course, is like they talk about in women being given more power and showing that they're better leaders, or for example, in the show, the act of genocide actually goes toward more the women than the men. So we were just like, why would you even make that point? Instead of just being about the people of the world and the different styles of ruling and everything. And so like, I don't like it with any media where I'm just like, can you start with the, the lack of subtlety with any kind of analysis for the shows? Yeah, I truly don't really understand it. I mean, in the argument people want to make is a woman we're oppressed in this, they're quite not anymore. So I mean, if you're a woman today, you're winning just because you're born. Like, you know, it's in that sense where, at least in the Western world, it's quite different on the other side of the world, but it's so far changed now. And that's a great thing. However, we're going around pushing too much of it, which is now starting to create a bit of a pushback, which there shouldn't be. It should just be human. Man, woman doesn't matter. You want to write a cool story? Awesome. You know, I don't really care who writes it. I don't care who directs it. I don't care who the main character is. They could be an alien for all I care with eight heads. As long as it's a great written story for a character development, that's awesome. That's really all we care about. So I think the constant emphasis and the focal point focusing on, you know, the gender is irrelevant. How does that have anything to do with the story? I kind of agree, especially on the aliens point. I'm waiting for them to have an alien protagonist in one of these things. Like something even beyond humanoid, even slightly. I'd love that. I was hoping that in Prometheus that they would focus more on that meaning. I don't know what he was called. Space Jockey or the big dude. The big dude. Yeah, yeah. Engineers, I think they were called. Yeah, that was so cool. Oh, they would love that. Man, they don't even get me starting the potential of Prometheus. That movie could have been everything. Yeah. Oh, Adam, you're still here. Okay, well, I would love to, did you send me your info so I can send you the link? Guys, can you let me know if you send us his info? Is Twitter or something? I can send him the link, private message. The future of Star Wars would look grim if it wasn't for Vader Episode II. Has the long man seen the Clone Wars yet? What are your thoughts on Durge? So, he has not seen it. We're gonna get there, all right. It's been, you know, as everyone is aware. I didn't watch it again. I didn't watch it myself either. Well, I mean, before, but I didn't refresh. So, going into next week. That's the plan. It's just that the past two weeks, it's been the busiest time of year, you know, Christmas, New Year's, family, friends. Like it's all, I had to, I missed an open bar episode and I cut down my time on a couple of other ones. It's just like trying to move things around. But everything will be back to normal next week. And yeah, I'll try and get a watch for next week, the first volume or whatever. Yeah, I'll be traveling, I think after next Tuesday. So, I'll still make the shows happen. Well. Yeah. I'll just might be in like my room or something. With a not ideal setup. That's okay. Mm-hmm. What's up, Corey? What's up, Don, Geo, Hello Theory, and Longman? Are you ready to feel uncomfortable in the race sequel? I don't know how Star Wars managed to keep getting worse. You know, I still give any and all entries into this thing, they're a fair chance. But uncomfortable, I don't know. It's just, like I said, I'm not in a position where a film is really maybe uncomfortable unless they touch subject matter that's just disgusting sort of thing. But that's about it. Last Jedi maybe uncomfortable. Well, you know, I was confused. I think a lot of people shared that when they came out of the last Jedi. But being Rey as the protagonist is not gonna make me uncomfortable. I'm gonna be like, all right, if they got character for her this time, let's see. It'll make me uncomfortable. If Mahler, but that's what Charmine wants. She loves to make men uncomfortable. If Mahler is watching the Clone Wars, can you watch Arcane? I easily recommend Arcane. You haven't seen it. Five time. Her quote was, okay, we read this one. Any chance after the Clone Wars theory watches Buffy Angel with Mews? Ha, ha, that's 12 seasons. It takes a literal week to watch through all of that in hours. So I don't think that's a reasonable ask, okay. I'd be down. I'd be down. You know, if you wanna. Buffy, yeah, yeah. I haven't seen Angel. I never saw Angel. You'd like Angel more than Buffy. Really? Well, I've seen Buffy when I was a kid. Yeah, I mean, Buffy gets into some heavy stuff but Angel is, a lot of people compared them as like, Buffy is the growing up sort of child to adult show and then Angel is very much the adult show. What's up, Nevin? Hey, there, you just wanted to say I love the chosen one on Theory's Tales. Right on, dude. Yeah, we're actually, let me bring it up. We're starting the comic right now. So it's actually being designed. Yes, so I don't, I've never made a comic before but I've always wanted to for years now and these are obviously early sketches and these will be available for, I probably will have to do a Kickstarter because they are pretty expensive to make but yeah, it's a little bit of the update there for everyone that's been wanting the graphic novel. So that's gonna be coming, coming your way soon. What's up, Vex? What's up, Rossi? The drinker's video on Charmine, Obed and Chanoi is very balanced and fair and highly recommended. Yeah, I was watching some of it and then I got busy and had to turn away but yeah, it was great so far. The drinker is very commonly balanced and fair despite what you'll hear here and there on the internet. Oh, I don't hear much about him. I don't know, I don't. It's what I said to him, I was surprised he got as popular as he did and it took so long for people to start taking shots at him for the attention of it, right? Like there are a couple of, I was just like, I think he's that good. He's that sort of palatable, it took a lot longer because there are people out there who'll go after you even if you are literally Mr. Rogers on YouTube. Like they would be like, ah, I'm gonna. Bob Ross even, probably. Yeah, we've covered I think two videos that have gone after Drinker on EFAP and they've been fucking amazing in terms of the lengths they go to to try and rip down the channel but I wouldn't need to let you know about that nor would I need to let myself know about that. It's, you know, that's the internet. So easy recommendation, the critical drink. Yeah, I know he's got good videos. Chat, did Adam respond? I have not seen, just waiting. Hope Moller now knows how Dirty Grievous got in the films and 3D Clone Wars considering how badass he is in Clone Wars 2003. Oh dude, you're about to see something. I've always heard people say that and yeah, I mean, I don't know about you but I've always thought that Grievous was the coolest fuck, right? Like the design. The coolest. You watch him in Revenge of the Sith, you're like, okay, could have gone for a bit more. I could have had a bit more for him, yeah. You're about to see. After the Simpsons shills, people are brainwashed now because it's not even Simpsons shills, it's just people who are either smart enough to know what they're doing that they're purposefully changing someone's narrative just to kind of appease their own agenda to either hate them or whatever, be like, you're doing this. It's like, well, no, it's not the case. Yes, you are. Well, no, I literally just explained, well, no, you are. It's like, well, what basis are you going off of? You are. What? I don't understand, what are you doing? Or they're actually that stupid that they just can't really actually read verbatim or listen to someone's words. Yeah, I think when you go for what a person says literally and it's like too reasonable, it's like, I'm gonna go for the interpretation. I'm gonna go for the dog whistle. I'm gonna go for the, just like, okay, fine. Well, let's just fucking up communication. Which to me, I wonder how much of the world's problems would be solved if, for example, we all spoke the same language for one, but also that we like get away a lot of insane interpretations. You have to stick more so to what people say. Yeah, they all do believe it's even interpretation. I think it's more so just a, it's like they're pushing to believe something that's not the case. Yeah, like I'm not saying it's done on accident or with honesty. A lot of people will be like, ah, he said this, I can use that. It's literally what it is, I think. But like, ah, he didn't say this, but I'm gonna pretend he did. I'm gonna use that. Oh yeah, we, even in the past 10 years, we've entered a sane culture of clipping everything out. People can. Yeah. Well, it's, yeah. Oh well. Is that one for getting Marsha Lucas, George Lucas' wife who edited the original Star Wars and saved that film? I guess she didn't shape it all. Yeah, you know, we were hopeful. Gladly we have Charmine to come in and- On one hand. And do it. I completely agree that Marsha Lucas is incredibly talented and did a lot of work. Have you seen Ned Anonymous's video about saving Star Wars in the edit? No. So, it was a real BBC episode where I said, Marsha Lucas saving Star Wars is a myth. And I got a lot of upset people at me for that one. And I was like, oh shit, I guess it's not as common knowledge. And I recommended that video. And in future it was mentioned again and I saw other people recommending the video as well. So I'd love to hear what you think about it. The video goes over the claims that she saved Star Wars and then it checks all in every source possible and it gives you the POV of what happened. In fact, there's a video by, I think, I want to say it's something university, Rocky University, something like that. They made a video saying Star Wars was saved in the edit and this is how it goes over that whole video and tears it the fuck apart. And it is really, really interesting. Like I said, I'd love to hear what you think of it. Oh, that'd be cool. Yeah, maybe I can look at it after. What's up here in, did she forget about Deborah Chow, Bryce Dallas Howard? Guess women are oppressed in some countries. Yes, expose it and create awareness. Absolutely. Leave Star Wars alone. Yep. Like we just want a cool space story, you know? I don't need you to plant your flag that a woman did this. How about just somebody who tells good stories? Fuck, it's so simple. What's funny about it is I feel like they get way better press encouragement and stimulation of like, you know, engagement. If they did just say like, I'm going to tell an awesome story. Here I go. Patty Jenkins trailer on how Air Force pilots and dogfights mean a lot to her because of her dad being a Air Force pilot. There was nothing in there about me as a woman, I want to make sure that I'm shaping the Air Force Rogue Squadron, whatever, like fights in the sky. No, it's just like, this is something meaningful to me as a kid. I was growing up and I watched my dad in the air. Like, cool. Now I want to do this with two things I love. Jets, flying spacecrafts and Star Wars. It's like, oh, that's- Oh, I love hearing about like, people going from life experience to involve that in, and strictly from like a human standpoint. Yeah, there's passion in it. Yeah. I would have loved to have seen Patty Jenkins movie, you know? I mean, absolutely game for it. I mean, obviously, did you see Wonder Woman 84? Yeah. I was a bit regrettable, but I mean- It wasn't great. The Cat Lady, what was it called? Oh, Cheetah, was it? Cheetah? Ooh. Yeah. It's hard to sometimes bring comic book characters to life, I guess. Yes. It's tough for tone. But I think her Rogue Squadron movie would have been really good, especially if we would have had Gina Corona in it. Yeah, no, there's so much potential it gets thrown out and with every last piece of news that comes out, it's like, oh. Because we're still, I assume you're, of course, on this team of waiting for the upswing. Something good's gonna happen for Star Wars and it's stronger and better. Yeah. We'll get there, maybe. Yeah, we'll see. We'll see, maybe one day. It'd be great if you could get Critical Drink on an episode of Star Grift. Yeah, we've talked about that. We can definitely make out, it's gonna be just letting him know I had a time, of course, from- You wanna do it next week? I can ask, I'll see. Obviously, I don't know if he goes on holidays, he's got lots of scheduling, he has streams as well, so I'll ask him when he's next Monday for years and then we'll get him for that one, I suppose. Okay, cool, yeah. Still waiting for a twi-like protagonist. I'm tired of Disney having human main characters. We need more major alien characters, not just you, just chewy. Yeah, that was kind of the weird thing with, that wasn't Mando III. There weren't really any aliens, was it Mando III? Um, it was one of the problems with Andor, honestly. Andor, right. Was it Andor? Yeah, there were no aliens. And then, it's funny to say that twi-like protagonist, what they did for Hera, Oka sucked. And it's like, she's kind of, I think it was supposed to be argued with the main characters of Soka, and then you have Sabine and Hera, that's sort of like, he plots. But, yeah, Hera did not get served by that at all. And they had Mary Elizabeth Winstead, too. She's like an actress, she can just pull up a lot. Yeah, I know, married to Obi-Wan. People are taking your interview out of context. What? That, no way! She doesn't really mean there aren't female Star Wars fans, it's just the reality that they're the massive minority, would Barbie market a movie for men? Yeah, exactly. You know, this reminds me of, when we were watching Nolder Rings, I made a comment of when Aragon and Leia Sophia, and I was like, I think a lot of guys really just love seeing like a champion defeating the hell out of a horrible monster demon thing. Like there's like some fundamental like, fuck yeah, sort of thing. And a lot of people were like, women do too. I was like, no, I'm not saying women don't. Like, I was just saying that that's like a, it's a thing that really, it's for everybody. I'm just saying, I didn't mean for it to sound like I was like, women don't like things. I was watching this stand-up the other day, it popped up on, I was like, TikTok or Instagram, and he was like, is that your husband, or something, he was talking to someone in the crowd. Is that your husband? And she says, I'm a woman. And he's like, yeah, is that your husband? She's like, I'm a woman. What? And then he started laughing, and then he's like, what the fuck does that have to do with anything? Yeah, obviously, like are you making us suspicious now? What the hell? What's up, Bex? Thanks, man. Will the graphic novel be available in physical print? Yeah, absolutely. We'll release it online because it's pirated, so. Yeah, all will be physical copies. You can actually, nice book, you can turn pages. The cover is actually being done right now as we speak as well, and that's by a different artist who did all the art for Vader Episode I. Really, really talented artist. He's doing a great job. Front and back cover. Also be releasing just a book for it. Theory, when are you gonna ask Molly about his T-Levels? Longman, have you asked the holiday question when you're gonna bring Theory on EFAP? Well, we try to bring people on for, you know, episodes that match them instead of just randomly, right? And as for the holiday question, it's Christmas versus Halloween, which I prefer. Halloween. Wait, I'm the Halloween guy, Rags is the Christmas guy. Oh, awesome. And we have armies being built on each side. Oh, yeah, no, I'm a Halloween guy, for sure. I fucking love Halloween. Yeah. Christmas is cool. Yeah, thumbs up to Christmas. Yeah, I like Christmas. Yeah, I'm part German, and Christmas is huge in Germany, but it's cozy, it's nice. I mean, I think it's cozier when you have like a family. Oh, yeah. It's often the answer people give is that they, you know, adore it as a time to spend with family stuff. Yeah, absolutely, I love that too, but I don't know. So one of the ways I said it was like, Halloween to me is always like a, when we get like special and crazy things happening, both in media and in person, and like the dressing up, the aesthetic of Halloween, I really like fall, right? I love it, yeah. My favorite, the leaves are all orange goats. Hope you gentlemen are doing well today. What's up, Nick? Hope you're doing well, man. Shout out to Nick, he's been working really hard on the Fast Facts channel that I have and Fantasy Theory, which is all Marvel. So if you guys wanna check that out, that is also my channel, Fast Facts and Fantasy Theory. You should add organized chaos for the memes. I feel like you're better off not knowing who that is. I didn't wanna be rude, but. He's a very special man. All right. Incredible special man. All right. I watched 97 Star Wars Xmas EP recently, never again. Oh, yeah, the Wookie part. Oh, the Christmas special? Yeah, yeah. Senator Kanye, I love Palpatine. Nerd Onimus is the channel that did the saved in the edit rebuttal. Yes. I was really hoping to speak with him because I thought the video was super insightful. I loved his editing and humor. But you know, like I said, I had never even heard the counter, I've always known it to be that it was your editing that saved the movie, but it's a lot more complicated than that, I guess. Mm-hmm. Big Star Wars fans like Theory Singh and Orr is not good and it's not, I never said that it's not good. I like how people, well, whatever. No one was upset when Patty Jenkins was announced for Rogue Squadron. She never said anything controversial, just a person making a good story. Yep. Absolutely. Exactly. I'm learning to write an outline and maybe a script and want to try with an idea I had somewhat and fuck what they did to Luke in The Last Jedi. Think I could get legal trouble for posting it? I can't give you legal advice, man. Yeah, I just, do you mean like a fanfic? I assume people are able to post them, but I can't tell you what would happen legally necessarily. Yeah, yeah. Been following for years. I listen, love your support, love your content, pal. Keep going. Thanks, Christopher. Why? Thanks, man. Rossi with the big donut says, the sad thing is KK has set up for three more years of Charming. Three more years, what do you mean? In or out of context, festering the fandom and causing more needless issues. Can't believe Lucasfilm's first movie in years is the Rey movie and director. It's tone deaf. Three more years, because it's three years away? No, it's 2026. Maybe that's what they mean, like the combination of the production and the release and everything. Yeah, I mean, if I were the PR management of Lucasfilm, the building would obviously be on fire at this point. Not that I would have set it on fire. I mean, it is on fire. Like that's how bad things have gotten. And that, yeah, this is not a good choice to try and heal the fractures and rebuild the fandom. No, you know what would have been sweet is if she was like, hey, I recognize, you know, as a newcomer into Star Wars, there is a lot of sensitivity around the franchise. And I really want to make sure I do my best to tell a good story. Boom, done. Oh my God, everyone would be like, even then I'd be like, okay, you know what? I don't care about Rey for what the sequels did, but I'm now open to seeing this film. Have you heard the whole like the meme of, kind of we talked about it all, but just if episode 10 opens with Rey is missing, at least three new plucky characters have to find it to bring balance to force. And then they go to some island planet and she's on there and she's given up on life, wants to kill herself and doesn't believe in the force anymore. Who'd be like, oh, shit. Looks like it's you guys' turn to enjoy this. I would love to see that, dude. But no, watch what's going to happen. She's going to come in, she's going to be way more powerful. She's going to be the shoot and lightning, like precise bolts, no problem. She's going to invent a whole bunch of new force powers. She's going to do things that never been seen before. She's going to force levitate planets. She won't even need to go poo. She can just materialize the poo from her intestines out into a toilet. You can magic it to the poop realm. Literally. Final shot of the trilogy is her juggling the galaxy. That'd be a cool force power, actually. I do. Yeah, nice. Just stream all day, forever. Wow. She's going to be force commanding me out, yeah. I hope you guys enjoyed the newest fan fiction that came out. It's about 37, 38 minutes long, it's almost 40 minutes. So if you guys want to check it out, I sent it to my sound engineer and he made it really nice and crisp for you guys. So check it out on the channel. It came out yesterday. Or you can check it on Spotify. So show of hands if you've watched it or listened to it. Just type one. It's two to three more years till the movie comes out. Isn't it supposed to come out in 26? Oh, I don't even know. I'm so out of the loop on a lot of it. I just, because I've already stopped at the gate of like, why would you make a, but I've heard a lot of different things about when it's coming out. I just can't believe that the day it arrives, you will likely be at the point of saying it's been like seven years since the Star Wars movie, or whatever. It's quite pathetic what they've done. They've just completely shit the bed. Yeah, because I think if we were in a normal world, we'd be happy to say there's a big gap necessarily between like a quality, you know, amount of things being written that we're all very excited for. But like, this is Disney who said they wanted to marvelize it and produce one per year at least. Yeah, and that's unfortunate. Yeah. Oh well. Bro, we already got three Ray movies. Why are they making another? And the only cool thing about her, like someone in the chat said, is her lightsaber. What, the yellow one? Yellow one. I thought it could look kind of clunky. Yeah, and also I just, I like the whole like we've had three Ray movies. We haven't even had like movies that make me feel like I understood Ray, you know, as a character she's been on a journey. It feels like she was like a walking through the world, bouncing between things randomly. I know. I know. Luke. Not like we've had Luke's story in the OT with her. It was like, no. And that's not to say that I desperately need to have a race or like, no, we can try something else. Yeah, I mean, you know, I was hoping that we would see more of a continuation of Kylo Ren's character, but he's dead. And Adam Traitor is not coming back. So, well, that's that, I guess. Yeah, and it's like, where do you think Ray would be in 10 years after Rise of Skyward? And I'm like, where would go blogs be? I don't know. I guess it could be anywhere. She could be doing anything. It's not a good thing, by the way. No, the fact that I have nothing to hang on to for why, where she would be, what she'd be doing. Yeah, I have no idea what they're thinking, dude. It's like they're just drilling themselves into a hole further and further. Dave will nail Star Wars in the coffin. He's woke. Yeah, I just think he's about to tell the stories, but we'll see, we'll see. I don't think so. I think he's going to do a fine job, at least. One would hope, unless someone metals in or maybe he loses his way completely, and I don't really know. You know what was weird to me? Actually, I'll tell you this off stream. Yeah, it's actually, it's interesting. Sorry for the spelling mistake earlier, no worries. Also, the Star Wars Jedi game director left. But what? Okay. So the director of the phase two, is it? Asmussen? No. Oh, well, no, that was 2023. I'm not as familiar with the game. Oh, I enjoy the survivors a lot of fun, when it's forcing me to become a better gamer than that. I don't see anything. Unless you're talking about that from 2023, perhaps. That's true. Never have a character die that many times, all right? Not that you can't make it work, just not advisable, that's all. It's true, actually. You know, gosh, yeah. Even if you film more. You know what I really think the most ridiculous part of Ahsoka was the zombie staircase scenes. Just think it was really ridiculous. Just even the choreography of like how she was like moving. Oh yeah, the... Like what? How is this? You're supposed to be like... Well, I mean, do you agree with this? Like they were more threatening when they were alive and stormtroopers, not when they're zombies. Because they're slower and stupider as zombies and you have a lightsaber. Throw your lightsaber down the stairs and bring it back. Like, how cool of a scene would that have been? Right, four lightsabers in that scene. Bro, just imagine this. All of them coming up the stairs, and then Sabine and Ezra, what are we gonna do? Ahsoka just goes... Throws the lightsabers and they go... And you see them all just fall and die. Okay, let's go. Way more of a cinematic scene, way more entertaining, but again, I would just be like, I don't see why I was supposed to think that was threatening. That is exactly what I thought would have happened. No, and then they go to a door that opens and there's like a real villain that's like brought back with magic or something. Yeah. They made such a big deal about that spellcasting from the witches and then it's just zombies. The only ones that were hard to deal with were ones with like, what was it, Beskar armor or something? Yeah, the death troopers. You tired of like all materials being mixed in with everything and everyone being everywhere and stuff. Yeah. The big one for me was the bounty hunting stormtrooper Mandalorians from season three. Man, it's still trooper Mandalorians, remember them? They were the empire affiliated. Like they had jetpacks and Beskar armor. Oh yeah, that was awesome. They come up with a new stormtrooper variant. They fly now. Like every season of anything at the Star Wars now. Do you remember the Rise of Skywalker had the final order troopers? They were like Sith troopers. The red ones? Yeah. The red ones, they were literally just, they had a spray paint job. Yeah. I don't know why they, I guess, merchandise, but like, I don't know. It's so many stormtrooper types. I don't know, man. At least make them do something different. And the Star Wars Holiday Special Chewbacca. It's like, why are these ones different? They're red. Yeah, they just spray paint, okay. Okay, boy, what's their abilities like? Are they more powerful? Do they have better guns? Yeah, because the clone changes felt to me like rank and specialty, while the stormtrooper ones really feel like toys and they're just messing around. They have no idea what they're doing. Gonna remake one of the sequels? Well, wait, if you remake TFA, does that cancel out the continuity of TLJ and Tross? Yes. Because if that's the case, then it's TFA easily. That should be everyone's choice. I would remake the last Jedi. That's the one that destroyed it. Well, yeah, but if you remake TFA, you would end up doing everything, right? Luke would be in TFA if I was doing it. Yeah, true. Okay, yeah, let's do TFA. Weird question, do you think Earth could defend again? I'm just so fucking tired of it. Yeah, okay, sure. It's not gonna happen anyway. Do you think Earth could defend against an Imperial Star Destroyer? No. I don't know about a Super Star Destroyer. We would, I'm trying to think the world's combined efforts, probably. Yeah. Yeah. But not a Death Star. That's GG, that's over. No, yeah, let's see you later. It's like, oh my God, what is that? Yeah. Oh well, see you later. No, so I'll be like, you're all sexist. It's like a woman that pressed the fire button. I mean, the Death Star is kind of sexist. Why is it a big testicle? It could have been anything. How about it? It could be a big boob. Maybe it's sexist in the other direction you're in. Maybe. It could be an egg. Star Wars demolition, game is on PS5. Yeah, I played that the other day. I played that. Stig left. What? Stig. Just digasmuson. That's unfortunate. You did a great job with the first two. That's not a moon. That's a nut. They were two of them, that's true. That supports the testicle and the theory, OK? Oh, geez. Yeah, man, I'm like, I'm getting to the point where it's just. I really just want to be much more candid with how I feel, because I'm just tired, genuinely tired of all of this bullshit. I just want to go back to good stories or everything has to be so goddamn political today. Oh, yeah. I assume you mean you want to be having to filter less in order to have less people take wild interpretations. Like for malicious reasons. No, I don't care about that. I don't care. No, I that's free marketing. I like that. OK. Yeah, no. No, I just I just want people to be normal. Like, you know, it seems like it's so difficult today to just be literally fucking normal. Like everything has to be about a ideology or an agenda or something that you stick yourself to in some sort of clique or group or I stand for this. I stand for that. Well, we all stand for different things. I think any normal sane human would stand for equal rights, would stand for freedom of speech, would stand for, which is funny enough. These people that stick stick up for that don't allow others to have freedom of speech only as long as it goes with their rhetoric. And if you in any sort of way go against that, then you are villainized and demonized. It's unfortunate. I think the psychology is just. It's like an impetual doom that their life will. Lead to, because it's just this way of looking at things that you have to agree with me, otherwise, if you don't, then. You are the enemy. I also think it's unfortunate that the categorization of, like, almost binary. So the there is no, for example, it's not like person A kind of agrees with me. This and B mostly disagrees. Pistons C really disagrees and person E super disagrees. It's like the second you disagree is like you all super disagree with me. Like, really? I just like ruins the interest of the whole diversity of human thought at that point. Like, oh, well, right. And yeah, I've talked before about how it feels weird. It's been so long now since remembering sort of discussion of media used to be more so aimed at the nerdy minutiae. You and I could have a whole debate over who would win in a fight between Mace Windu and fucking Count Dooku or something. Both prime. Yeah. But it just doesn't happen as much anymore. It's a real shame. Also, yeah, about what does the story mean for wider culture? And it's like, I mean, I'm happy to have the conversation. I just didn't realize I was going to be exclusively the conversation. No, it's. It's rather unfortunate, I have to say, like even. Just looking at at how like the views have been in general. For. For start, like for videos. It's like fanfictions and I don't know, man. It's all about like drama and shit today. It's just not like, let me show you something. It's disheartening. So, you know, here's fanfiction. All story, no politics, nothing. Twenty two thousand views. My thoughts on its time, a woman shaped Star Wars, something controversial. One hundred and twenty six thousand. Yeah, Rebel Moon review, ninety one thousand. Just fucking idiot breaking down on 55 K views two days ago. It's it is. It's sad to see Mark Hamill drama, two fifty K. A Star Wars video, thirty three K. It's really weird. I don't get it, man. It's like, you know, back in the day, this would have been like two hundred fifty K by now three years ago. This video would have been at two hundred fifty K easily. But the overall interest in Star Wars has completely changed where we now have to talk about bullshit. Yeah, it really doesn't matter. And that's what gets traction, because that's the interest. That's no. And this is a direct blame of Disney, I believe. Absolutely. These kinds of videos and they've. Yeah, they've done with it. They've garnered the interest. And so it's so it's like you literally not even have to change your content, but it's like no one cares anymore, really, about fanfictions and the old shit and lore. I mean, who's this? I remember I uploaded this video when I did six years ago. And then in a day, I think it had like hundreds of thousands of views. Comic videos did so well. I mean, fan, fan films will always do well, but. Top 10 videos means like 15 million views, three point five million views, four point one, nine points, like these don't hit the same today. They're just not nearly as interesting. The fantasy series. All of these crazy views today. No, I could repurpose this video, even as an experiment, upload it and no one would give a shit. It's crazy. I mean, it's got to be all the all the culture aspects, but also just the the writing these films really hard to generate theories or analysis with how inconsistent every fucking thing is. But when you lay out, you know, for example, imagine trying to talk about that stupid knife that leads them to the ruins of the death star and all that stuff. Yeah. How do you construct theories about that without people being like, OK, you're going to have to ignore a shit ton of how stupid it is that that could make any sense at all. You know what I mean? Like, how could any of them just like and it makes being fans who want to celebrate the stuff a lot more difficult or impossible as people are pointing out. It's like, it's still it's great that there's still how many people watching considering the damage they've done. But yeah, like it's it's you get you get communities that are built who want to be strictly positive because they want to go back to a time where we're all just celebrating stars being fun and awesome. But they're like, it's not it's not representative of the you know, current releases of the IP, which is what is damaging it a lot as well. It's it I know that you don't experience this because you kind of your content has been critical of, you know, films and breaking them down. If you like it, you like it. If you don't, you don't for me, it's, you know, there's three thousand videos of lore and fanfictions and, you know, shit that I always thought was cool that I'd love to still keep making. But it's like it's just it no one cares anymore because Star Wars is just so fucked. And it's like only a small select group of the fandom actually gives a shit now as before. It was like that was what Star Wars was about. And people are like, well, why are you kind of scorn about it? And I was like, well, Star Wars isn't what it used to be. And this is because of fucking Disney and their lack of care. And they've just completely shit on everything. No one actually even gives a it gives a crap about anything that came before it, like the lore or any of that stuff that was actually fun, that was what Star Wars was. Now it's all about like Charmino Bade dickhead talking about shaping Star Wars as a woman or whatever it might be. And then you get these little people that just come on, try to twist your words or say whatever they want for their own narrative because they hate you. It's it's just a completely different space than what I signed up for and what I started out in. And it's just hard to see. It's an it's unfortunate. But that goes hand in hand with what Disney has done. Well, I feel like even though we're coming from different angles, almost they're interconnected through the health of the overall is well, you know, going to determine it. So I would I would wonder like you and Gary, for example, like, what if they were to release something that was absolutely phenomenal and brought us back to George Lucas Star Wars to where it was actually supposed to be? I don't think we would be ripping it apart or you guys would be ripping it apart or being like, this is bullshit compared to what it once was, what it was supposed to be. I think you guys would be totally for it. And this is what people don't really understand. It's like, oh, those guys just grift. Those guys just shit on it. Well, it's like you guys will have to show on it. It wasn't bad. It wasn't shit because I kind of want the question as of myself, like the hypothetical you've given, but we did see it with it was Rings of Power and House of Dragon came out the same time, right? If you look at the coverage of them both before they came out, pretty like very negative Rings of Power, pretty negative House of Dragon. If you'd asked me before it came out and been like, dude, Game of Thrones season, it was a fucking disaster. I think it's like cute that they're trying to get the fans back in after like how they destroyed it. I don't know if people be like, you understand as a different creative team and, you know, the trade looks good. And I'd be like, yeah, because I was pretty, you know, I'm happy to admit I was pretty against it. It comes out and I, you know, it takes me a while, but I get into it and I'm eventually raising it so hard that I'm hyper recommending it. I'm like, everyone should go see it. And you'd think, ah, that proves it then. You know, Mola goes from saying it's like a bad thing to avoid it more than likely to praising it. He's changed his mind based on the content coming out being good enough. Right. No, what I saw was that the narrative was, you see, they switched the grift based on public opinion. I was like, what? And it's like, yeah, because too many people said it was good. You couldn't say it was bad. What? I was like, I don't even, and I was like, so this is nothing that we could do or say based on any style of stuff coming out that would ever change the minds of people who were said, like, with strictly like bad faith or whatever. No, you know, even what I've noticed now too is like, you know, if they don't have Anakin Skywalker, it's shit. If they do have Anakin Skywalker, it's shit. And it's like, it's what we do. What I find interesting is if they did release a phenomenal Star Wars film, I feel like they need more than one to actually start to fix and heal, like the, the overall, like that's how much damage they've done. They need a powerhouse of at least two or three. Well, it's not even that. It's the PR. Yeah. The PR is ass. Yeah. Like stop pandering to one side of the fandom who are just a bunch of intolerant babies that literally grift and shapeshift words that they're like a, a sneak. I would even argue if half of them are actual Star Wars fans. I think, you know, they probably didn't give a shit behind closed doors. They're just trying to be part of something. Oh, isn't it part of something online? They don't know anything, right? They pop in for the cultural aspects, not for the exactly the cultural aspect. Yeah. And then there are others who are actually diehards. And then there are others who just came in with the sequel stuff, which is fine. But I'm really not sure how many of those there are. It's got to be waiting with every day that passes. And, you know, I know, it's vibing in the moment there. No, it's called puberty. Yeah. But I mean, maybe. Is that that's where your mind wants to go? Sure. Oh, man. How are we looking for time? I know you got to bounce to your up to you, really up to you in terms of I can go for another like 20 minutes max, probably. OK, cool. Chat, what are you guys thinking? Where should we take the conversation? Well, I'm just trying to actually I'm getting sidetracked here. And. Ta-da. Hey, and the names are on the right side. Excellent. Chat, is that too bright for you? Maybe we should lower it. Hmm. Petition to have Mauler have a AI robot. Speaks as himself. I ran through a bunch of Star Wars characters like jaw-jubbings, sophomore. Maybe if those two had a kid. If. Instead of just to see what you face with this. It's possible if you consider the fat to badass that I'm sure they look to each other a little, like, you know, longingly at some point. James getting gay, gay, right? OK. Yeah. Did you watch what if the sequels were awesome? Not yet, no. Oh, did you watch that? What should we call it? It was about the sequel trilogy. It's another guy who made a really good video. It was a check. Do you guys remember the name? And that's very vague. We were talking about a few weeks ago. There was a creator that made a really good sequels video, I think it was a year ago. And he just went over how like everything was just so inconsistent and just didn't work. And it got a lot of a lot of views. I just can't remember the name. Well, everything's inconsistent. I've done that for years. It could have been could have been the anti trilogy through getting suspiciously uncomfortable with the game. Maybe this is my coming out moment. Oh, wait, do you want to? Another one mentioned the the new anonymous video is amazing. Yeah, I'll get on it. Nerdonymous video is amazing. Because people tend to forget somehow all the edits are viewed by by George. Gorge. Gorge. It's not like they went behind his back. I hate this narrative that George's success was not his own. What is this about? So the commonly accepted thing is that George had a cut and it was awful. That's what the video actually suggests, the original one. And then Marsha Lucas comes in and saves the day. The reality being the first stronger cut George was like very interconnected with. There's three editors, not just Marsha that did lots of work. Each of them claim different amounts of the work and some of them actually contradict each other in terms of who did what and where and where ideas came from. Right. So it's a very digestible narrative to say that Marsha Lucas was the one that edited Star Wars from good to great or from even bad to great. Some people say the new anonymous video shows that George was pretty much in the process throughout and that Marsha did great work. So did everyone else basically. I see. Okay. So yeah, I believe that. The thing that she saved Star Wars is just not as, I'm not comfortable with that statement. Yeah, I don't know where people get the idea that she saved Star Wars and I don't understand what that means, but she did shape a lot of it by editing it for sure. Yeah. But I don't know about saving. Yeah, just the people who can hear saying that and are like, what is like, watch the video from Nerd Anonymous. And I think you'll change your mind a little bit. Yeah. You know, the show gets so pressed when you talk about the stupidity of Disney. Yeah. Someone has to. I mean, if you see the copes of like how they get through, you know, like the kamikaze, there's people to this day trying to defend that that makes complete sense. The hyperspace, oldo maneuver. I can't believe they are when even you have it in canon being described as stupid. You know, Rise of Skywalker saying it's one in a million. Why would anybody do one in a million? Imagine you're in a lost stand situation and instead of just continuing, you have a car that you can drive into the enemy convoy and smash it. He's like, yeah, sure. I might just do that. It's like, or if you press this button, you have a one in a million chance to blow them all up. You'd be like, one in a million. No. One in a million will be the point in a one in a million. What's the point of that? Yeah, literally. Yeah. Well, you know what? That was a problem with Rise of Skywalker. I feel like where it just sort of shit on everything that the last Jedi did and the last Jedi just completely went in its own veered off path. So it was like, there was no consistency anywhere. Yeah. I mean, to be real, the reason I liked Rise of Skywalker at the beginning was because it completely retconned everything to do with TLJ. I mean, a lot of it, yeah. I think there's still retarded shit in Rise of Skywalker. I don't like a lot of the like hypercoincidences or that's the, you know, like it was wild that like most people didn't even know Kylo was on Mustafar at the beginning. Yeah. Well, how did they not know? These like not Star Wars fans? Well, it's not even that. I think it's the portrayal of it. They don't really make a make a point of it. It's more so it's, it almost comes across as planet. Well, Kylo is on doing things. Let me tell you why. Because you had to play the Vader immortal game. So in the Vader immortal game, you go through a bunch of successions of one, two, three and eventually you return Mustafar slowly back to what it once was, which was a green lush planet. However, that takes three games to play. Awesome game. I really enjoyed the game. I enjoyed the story. I would love to go back and play it again. I mean, on a live stream, but you have to play the game in order to learn that Mustafar once was all like basically Naboo. Well, yeah. I guess what I'm saying is I don't blame people for not knowing that doesn't look like Mustafar. As we know it from Avenger the Sith, sort of. Yeah. I mean, when I saw that, I was like, oh, cool. They're kind of using whatever the game did, but. You had to play Fortnite to understand why Palpatine was back for some reason. Yeah. Yeah. They had like a, you know. Yeah. That to me, did you hear they've, they're uploading Sopranos episodes to TikTok. I think it's TikTok or Instagram and they're converting all episodes into 25 second videos. I was just like, wow, is there a better way to like summarize the situation we're in with modern media? Yeah. It's supposed to be like a celebratory thing. And I was just like, wow, that's really sad. That's crazy. You know what I got popped up and I don't know if this is true, but I would not be surprised. It's gonna bring it up on the screen here. This was on the theory talks a little bit ago. Someone said this, and look, a lot of people say a lot of bullshit, but if this is the case, that's quite unfortunate. And I hope that one day we could all just learn to let bygones be bygones, just as I've been continuously doing and to just let people enjoy what they want and not enjoy what they want. Oh yeah, coordinated fucking discord attacks is cringe. Yeah. It's not the first time I've heard of it. I just want to bring it to light. I really hope that it's not true. And I would love to just live in peace here. I mean, if you guys notice, there's a lot of people that always talk about me. There's a lot of people that talk about Mahler. We don't talk about anybody else. We typically just stick to ourselves and we talk about Star Wars. Are we dissect films? But if people start gunning for us, eventually the tide will turn. And I just want to let that be known. We do cover videos on EFAP, but even then we try to make it, we try not to go out of our way to go after them like personally or anything. We're trying to review what they are saying about the film. Yes, exactly. So, you know, I'd love it if we all could just one day do our own thing and not be so picked on for speaking our minds about something that we really love. That'd be nice. I'm all for disagreement if they take issue with, you know, I'll call it logic, work in style, points of view and disagree. That's totally fine. I'm down for respectful disagreement. Hell yeah. If that's a thing, then awesome. If it's a thing. What would you think about a movie where the Jedi foresee their downfall during the time of Revenge of the Sith? Where they save parts of the archive? As seen as a survivor? What time period? The Jedi foresee their downfall? They said during the time of Revenge of the Sith. Oh, that's too early. It would have to be like High Republic or something. Either they want to go there, but then they all die out. So it's like, well, but then Yoda's still around. So it doesn't really make sense actually. Well, they kind of did. I mean, Sypho-Dias did in the Dooku novel. So, you know, which kind of prompted him to go and make the clones. So, so excited for the new Theory Saber's drop. The force is to stop. Thanks, SC. I hope you'll be ready for it, man. Hope you'll be able to grab one. The comment about Man was done about our documentary of Grant. Yes, be at least honest. Right, we already talked about this in the beginning. So if you want to see our answer to it, then go ahead and check it out. Otherwise, I'll just jump in here. Thanks for the fine box. Yeah, George's passion as an editor, so he knows editing is where he admitted he feels more comfortable as a creator. Yeah, so I don't really like the sentiment that people throw in that, you know, George wasn't a great editor. He literally created linear editing. The reason we can edit the way we do today is because of George Lucas. He did so much more than just Star Wars. It's just Ruma Mill and then develops and develops into just like common knowledge. Like I said, people were very surprised to hear me say the thing about Masha Lucas and I was like, oh shit, those people don't like know. And to be fair, I didn't know. No, they don't know. Well, no, you don't know until you know. Yeah. So whatever. Are you supposed to be born with all this information now? The supercomputer that can track any ship in hyperspace in the last Jedi was such a bad choice and can cause so many future issues as well. Yeah, it has huge repercussions to trace people through hyperspace. The major element of Star Wars is the sort of struggle, the tension of getting your hyperspace in position so you can actually escape and then you save. A lot of sci-fi does it. Farscape, Star Trek and, you know, even it's gonna be Rebel Moon. I'm sure that they have their own, the hyper warp I think they mentioned in that one. Everyone has their own systems and it's a really useful way in space to escape enemies, especially for our plucky heroes and stuff. But having it be that you could never escape, like, okay, you could do that. But I guarantee you, you're gonna have to invent a thing. We go, actually our ship has a hyperspace tracking nullifier. So, yeah. Yeah. Of course you do. Do you remember Snokes? They're usually, it's not as henchmen, it's like scientists. So it's the cloaked beings that we're looking through some sort of a magnifying glass. Can you talk about, where were they? Which film? TLJ. In like the throne room? Mm-hmm. I think I know what you're talking about, yeah. Tall, black cloaked figures, they were looking through some, like a triple magnifying glass or something. Yeah, I thought that was supposed to be like, finding some coordinates to where like, Plagueis could be or finding coordinates to some other place in the unknown regions or whatever, like we're gonna be traveling there. No, it was just literally like a magnifying glass. Creative. Like cool. Oh yeah. Yeah. I love it when the fan theories are better than the actual film. You always get rewarded for speculating. Well, every time. What would Qui-Gon do if Obi-Wan felt them all? We'd kill them all, hopefully, and then he would go and train Anakin and the world would probably have been fine. Here you go. Yeah. This year we celebrate 25 years since our favorite character appeared. Misa be thinking Yusa be knowing who. What are your favorite Jar Jar quotes? Yusa no have a booball. I think Mui Mui is probably just the best. He just says Mui Mui. Uh-oh, big booball. Yeah, why aren't any coming to mind right now? Big guba fish? We said that. These are all classics. I was looking at George McRafidian, THX-1130 and our amazing film. Yeah, those films that caught him, Star Wars as well, right? Very colorful movie. Especially for that time, I can imagine. Rancor vs. Ogdo Bogdo? Rancor, he kicks his ass. I mean, it could be close depending on the environment, just. That's true, depending on the difficulty setting. Yes. How powerful would Luke have been if he was trained during the prequel era if he fought in the Clone Wars? Extremely powerful. I mean, yeah, he probably has the benefit then of all the knowledge and skill of certainly more so than what he got. Yeah, indeed. Yeah, probably the best one. He was right to say that. He was, of course he was. I think Qui-Gon's would probably have to be... The ability to speak does not make you intelligent. Probably. Yeah, most likely. The ability to speak does not make you intelligent. Probably my favorite line for him. When are you sitting here getting these in? Yeah. It's interesting how you got so much hate in the beginning from people, and then now everyone loves him. I mean, I love him like a bee, but I also... If I'm to watch Fathomatus, I do tolerate him. Like, there he is doing his thing. What a silly guy. Yeah, yeah, he's there. He's having fun. He's doing his thing. Yeah, that was like the worst part. This is like the worst part. The emergency power to the supreme... That's incredible that he did that. Great idea, Jar Jar. Yeah, let's Jar Jar out. You fucking ruined everything. Awesome. Nice. That's why I feel like there is more story potential to see a Jar Jar Biggs film for him to address his involvement, for his perspective on how everything went down, versus Ray. Like, what do you say like a Ray movie? I'm like, what the fuck's that gonna be about? Anything, really. But a Jar Jar film, like, ooh, maybe they'll actually like have him deal with the fact that he kind of gave Palpatine so much power, you know? Well, you know what's funny is that they, as you said, they can't have Ray lose her powers now because it would just be too much of a riff on TLJ. So now they have to give her either the same powers or more powers because it's been 15 years. So it's like, hmm, nice. Yeah. You see the article on Ray having Kylo's child and then fighting Plagueis? Why not? Yeah, fuck it, why not? Force kid and... Yeah, sure, man. Yeah, cool. Yeah, let's do it. Hell, I'm up for it. Let's go. Rose Tico, Misa love Jar Jar now. I think those two could have a romantic entanglement. Yeah. Yeah, Jar Jar can probably throw down. Did Anakin serve his role as the chosen one by bringing balance to the force through becoming Darth Vader? Was this will of the force to oppose how dogmatic the Jedi have become? Yeah, some people can see it that way. I mean, in the end there was just two left, right? So I think truly, you know, the Jedi probably were throwing, shifting the balance because they were bending the force to their will for politics. And so Vader came in and he literally thwarted all of that, destroyed it and returned order, but then it was more so the Sith. And then in the end, Luke came in because of Vader's actions and it was just one force being. Well, if you want to go sequel trilogy, then it was just two because it was Luke and Palpatine. Balance. Because the Emperor was falling down that shaft. He was like, jokes on them. I'm going to go to Exegol now. Jokes on them? Yeah. That's in the book. It said his essence was out of his body before he hit the floor, whatever it was. Cool. Sure. Yeah, let's go against what George wished. What story would you two have done for the sequel trilogy? I definitely do use on Vaughn War. I consider that a lot of potential there. I just want to give respectable stories to the three main characters of the OT to move them on in a new world. I personally would love to have had Plagueis come back now that he sees Palpatine was dead. You can definitely work with that, yeah. Yeah. Oh, so Palpatine's dead in your vision, huh? Wow. Yeah, he's dead. He's gone. They recalled the attendance in the last rite. Fun fact, they were in the last Thrawn trilogy book. Grisks own the attendance. Pro. Many it means the Gris... Maybe it means the Grisks may come into film. Kahn, it ties into the sea. Everything will tie into the sea. That's the Kahn for every thing that comes. Kahn. Pro, it could mean this. Kahn, we know where it ends up. Have you seen the channel, Not Obi-Wan Kenobi? It's DeepFake of Obi-Wan Anakin and Qui-Gon reacting to the prequels. No. I don't think I've seen that. Is that Charlie Hopkins? Yeah, because I've seen individual videos of stuff like that, but I don't think I've seen that. We're pretty much coming up on time here. Very well. Ready to bounce? One more, man. One more? What if Ahsoka took the dark power and gave Anakin... That'd be kind of cool. No, it needed to play out the way it did. And I always wonder that too. It's like if Anakin didn't have his mind wiped, what would have happened? The waffles? Oh, see, Molly doesn't know what I'm talking about. He hasn't seen the Clone Wars. Nope. I'm like, why is he silent? I'm like, this guy talking about a fucking crazy guy. Yeah, so in the Clone Wars, there's this mystery planet called Mortis. Essentially, it's like the gods. There's the son, the father, the daughter. The daughter gets killed by the son, which is the brother. And he's the embodiment of the dark side. She's the light side. The father is the balance kind of. And the daughter dies through protecting Ahsoka because she gets taken over by the dark side by the son and she dies. So the daughter sacrifices herself by putting her light side, pure light side into Ahsoka. So Ahsoka is now the pure light. And then, that's why she's wearing white robes in Ahsoka at the end. And then, I was gonna say, I can be honest with you, this is not something I'm gonna enjoy. It was a, dude, I love that arc. It was sick as hell. And then the son goes after Anakin and he's like, I can show you your future and he shows Anakin literally everything that Vader becomes and does. And Anakin's like, no! And then he gets his mind wiped, so he like forgets. But he literally in that moment is like, yes, let's destroy the Jedi, because I see what they're going to do. And then gets his mind wiped. Okay. Hey, you know what, we'll eventually watch it. We can have a deep dive. That's, yeah, that's the real Clone Wars, not the 2D. Well, I'll somewhat argue that's not the real one, but. Not everyone is the same as Charlie Hopkinson. Oh, it's the same, okay. Oh, okay. What's up, son? What's up, Tom? What's up, Tommy? What are you drinking there? What's that, cottage cheese? Drinking some cottage cheese. What is that? I can't read what that is. I can see it now, baby sheave. Ah, yeah, I'd love that. I'd love that. What's up, Maria? You guys know that make men uncomfortable comments were from eight years ago in regards to her doc, but acid bombs being used to disfigure women. Yes, but I do believe if she really wanted to clarify that, she would very easily say, I love to make those types of men uncomfortable. Not all types of men. You know, not the host, of course, like she clarified, but all types of men. I mean, I'm sure she has a father. I'm sure she has sons or brothers. It just, you have to be very careful when you're grouping an entire gender into one and saying that I want to make them uncomfortable. You say, no, I want to make these types of women uncomfortable. I want to make these types of men uncomfortable. And especially when you're a storyteller, that can be really dragged out and being used against you today, especially with the comments that she's doubling down on where she is quite the activist. And she has made a lot of comments about how she really does not like men. So directing Star Wars with a woman, was there any more context to that? Was that what it is? Is it like moving Star Wars and a woman making the pathway for it? So it's still like, I feel like that quote is retarded as well. It is, yeah. And I truly think that, you know, there is activism behind there. She's obviously coming from a place where she sees a group of men and kind of brands every single man, like those kinds of men. And no one is saying that the men that she's talking about primarily or making the video for are good men. I think anyone who thinks that is obviously ridiculous and a horrible person, and she'd go to jail. But if she's talking about all men in general, then I think she should clarify the kinds of men she's actually talking about. Especially when you're a storyteller and you have a voice like that. It's just common knowledge. But then to go and double down in this time a woman shaped Star Wars is like, well, come on. Where do you want our minds to go? Now we really don't like you. And you're doing a Ray movie. Why can't you just say, hey, look, there's some sensitivity in this fandom as a newcomer in here. I would love to tell a great story and hope you guys will appreciate it and enjoy it when it's out. Fuck, easy, boom. But it has to be about women. Patty Jenkins doesn't do any of that shit. She says, hey, look, I just felt like something that was emotional and important to me and important to my dad. And I want to make a movie about this with Star Wars. Okay, cool. I'm gonna watch it. But no, it has to be about gender. It has to be about politics. It has to be about, I'm a woman. This is what I'm going to do and it's going to be better than a man, blah, blah, blah. So what is that statement really saying? Because what was before, men making Star Wars? Well, sure, but also women too. So it's this ego that she has and I just don't think people like it. And that's what's happening today. Where? I didn't, I got it. Yeah, I read it. Great shot, kid. That was one in a million on solo. Hey, maybe it was really just lame callback attempt. I do think there's something to staying positive as best as you can as a creator. I think there's something true to that. Oh, wait, no. Staying positive. That was what a million from hard is saying, wow, what an amazing shot you got versus what an a billion in the as a Skywalker is an attempt to say we can't use that strategy because it's one in a million. You know what I mean? That's supposed to account for the fact that the film will be fucking over if one ship goes in and destroys all the Star Destroyers. You understand? It'll be like, oh yeah, we can't do that. It's literally like a form of expression. Like, oh, that was a really amazing shot versus literally, if you try this a million times, maybe one time it'll happen. Yeah. Yeah, no, look, as a creator, yeah, it's important to be positive but I think as a creator, even more important, it's vital to be genuine and not disingenuous. And I think that is the primary difference between people who are fake and grifting and trying to be shilled so that they can get free movie tickets or be part of a certain clique or to be noted as whatever it is today on a political agenda somewhere, leaning left or whatever it might be leaning right. I think it's extremely important. And look, as a creator, it's up to you how you wanna conduct yourself. I don't think anybody can tell you how to be. You should be better, you should be this. Go make your own fucking channel and you do how you wanna do it. But at the end of the day, if you truly want to be a creator for yourself and for the people, just speak your mind. As long as you're not hurting anybody, speak your mind. You're talking about movies? Speak your mind. That's what we need today. We don't need people who are like robots and bought by the corporations. So, it's a very fine line and it can be very lucrative to, of course, be a shill. But I would love to be invited to a lot of different events and get early access to everything, but at what cost? My dignity? Me not saying what I truly wanna say? No, we have enough of those people out there. So, should say back to any man during the interview. Okay, cool. What point are you trying to make here? Are you trying to say that I support those men? Is that what you, I don't know what you want? What do you want us to say? I think you can clearly understand exactly what everyone's talking about with their sentiments. We can keep going back and forth on it, if you like. Had enough of your grifting and living in my head theory? I'm unsubbing and sticking to Cobra Kai theory. At least he's not a grifter God, JK. Right on. Well, I hope you enjoy the videos there. Are you alive? Oh, I'm alive. I'm just thinking about a James Cameron that's almost trilogy. Do you trust James Cameron to direct the Star Wars trilogy? Assuming Lucas wrote the script and Kevin Feige did the dialogue. I don't trust Kevin Feige on the dialogue. Yeah. No. I don't know, baby. I don't even give him a chance, but trust him, I don't trust him with Terminator. You know, James Cameron was great back in the day, but his comments lately have just been kind of interesting. I don't know what to deal with. I don't know how you go for making Terminator and True Lies to saying that men, testosterone and men is a bad thing. It's okay. Sure. Yeah. Have we ever seen Mauler and Melvin on stream at the same time? Seems awfully suspicious. Well, I'd say Mauler is Doomcock. I deny anything. I'm super far behind, but I know with me personally, I was once hired a union through a union and was specifically told that I was a guarantee because I'm a minority. Honestly pissed me off. Same concept with the Disney woman. Oh dude, I've heard so much of that shit. I've talked to so many people that are actually in Hollywood hiring people. Very high-up names, very big names, and they have literally a checklist of who they hire and why. And it's not based on performance, acting performance, it's based on their looks, their skin color. That's all. Or their sexual preference. It's really weird. I think it's gross to say someone's hired because of those kind of borders and stuff. Yeah, it's backwards, we go in that direction. You're using people and then trying to throw it under the guise of being inclusive when you're literally using people for monetary gain. It's so weird. How about we just judge people on who they are? Let's say if you have a character that's this or that or a character that's one. Yeah, the skill for the craft or if it's a requirement based on the character as they are in the world, then that can be. All right, I think 2024 is the time where everyone will really start to speak out and wake up against. A lot of shit that doesn't make sense anymore. I mean, we just need to go back to making stories for the sake of making stories. And if that's all we focus on, then that's great. I guess we get Ravaro, right? Yeah, that would be great. The Thrawn Conflict should be three movies, could be. That it's gonna be scattered over several TV shows. Get the movie. Oh yeah, I saw that, that's great. Shrimi Nolte talked off-hand in another interview about how she likes to intimidate men in general and enjoys the power that comes with that. Yeah, I know a lot of people don't really ever see that. Drinker showed me on a bar that was very strange. Obviously there's a chance there's more context would make them sound a bit more reasonable, but it was a bit bar and I have a feeling that more controversy in spotlight is not gonna have her coming up with better quotes. Now I imagine she might say some other things that get into headlines again. Yeah, for sure she will in response to this 100%. Yeah, Hector, if you go to the beginning of the video it's, you'll understand, but I don't expect anyone to actually do any sort of due diligence like that. Just makes stupid claims, but that's cool. Nice picture. I hear you, I know criticism meant I'm just tired of the creators who are making unrelenting negativity lucrative as well. Not you obviously, it's about balance and don't envy having to try and find that. Yeah, the way I go around is I don't try and find it. I just speak my mind and however the public wants to discern what I mean, that's on them. But if you simply listen to the words that come out of my mouth, I think it's plainly put. I don't beat around the bush, I give it to you guys how I think and that's it. That's all? Simple. Wasn't the attendance super? I love you guys, I asked both of you. What do you think is the best part of the sequels or something they did well? Cinematography, music? Funny enough, I didn't find the music anyone near as memorable as the OT or the prequels. Of course not. But the ray theme was really great. Yeah, I think it's one of the most solid things I did out of all original tracks. I don't think of like, I guess, does it count if I was to say something like Adam Driver's performance? Yep, I guess. I think the acting with a lot of the people in the sequel trilogy is on point, it's just as surreal as so. Even Mark Hamill, I feel like he nailed the character they wrote, whoever that was. You know what I mean? Yeah. If we gave, and do you get that at the very least? I just don't know how much it counts for when you actively struggling to understand what the hell is going on with the writing. Right. Yeah, I mean, Adam Driver was probably the golden ticket of that whole thing. It's literally racism, classifying them as their group. I wanna be hired because of my skills and not my race, make that make sense. Yeah, well, you know what, man? It still is a form of racism and I think that'll continue to prevail for a long time because Hollywood wants to make money. They don't care about anyone. They care about what makes money. Ever seen the boys? Watch the boys and you guys will really understand what Hollywood is like. Vot, that's Hollywood, it's Disney. 100%. It was to be satire. That's it. Didn't mean to piss you off was going for a joke. No, it's all good. Theory, thanks for being a cool dude. Just being me, bro, be honest. I still can't get over the fact that Disney is moving forward with the Rey movie. It's like they don't even know how to read the room. Yeah, yeah. Mahler, how are you looking? I don't need to go, yeah. I got a guy waiting. Okay, go for it, man. I'll take it from here. Oh, I mean, if there's only a couple of left, I can do it. Well, they just keep coming in. It's like I'll read one, two, three more come in. Yes, you look like another. I'm the lost one, right? Yeah, they just keep coming. I'm sure, I guarantee you, once I read this, there'll be another two. Did you hear about that leak that's going around on YouTube regarding Rey having Ben's baby and that the villain for the movie is Darth Plagueis? There's more, but it's freaking me out. Don't buy it. No, no, where's this leak from? It was a source on that. Yeah. South Park are the only one expressing themselves. Yeah, and me and Mahler and I could shit on others. Yeah, there's plenty around. Thank goodness. Yeah, I know. Okay, that's it. All right, we did it. We're done. Wonderful. Okay, we love you guys. We hope you enjoyed tonight's quick episode. I'll be doing some Lego streams probably tomorrow or something like that, we'll see. So hop on for those and we will of course see you next week, hopefully with Critical Drinker, otherwise just us. So we'll catch you guys in the next one. Thank you so much for everything and stay tuned for Theory Sabers. Go check out Theory Sabers on Instagram. I'm gonna be releasing my next Saber, which is gonna be a very, very, very, very cheap affordable one for the masses, as well as my graphic novel coming out on Theory's Tales, which will be, the Kickstarter will be up in a little bit. Mahler, anything you got going on? No, no, nothing. Any podcasts you're doing? Just regular stuff, nothing to highlight really. We're going live right now? We can shift everyone over there. That's gonna be like a casual thing with a friend. There's no, if they see it, they see it. It's all good, so don't worry about it. Okay, cool. We'll catch you guys later. Leave a like on the vid. Love you, peace. See ya.
