Historically High - History of the Star Wars Galaxy

Episode Date: August 23, 2023

Hey People its Professor CK, I'm not even gonna try and be clever or subtle here folks, this one is for me, I love this shit. It's Star Wars, it needs no explanation or introduction. But this isn't your mammy's Star Wars, we're going back to the beginning, back the birth of the galaxy far far away. Where did the force come from, how did the Jedi and Sith come to be, how did intergalactic trade and government establish itself....okay we touch briefly on that but mostly it's talking about the battles, the heroes, the villains and everything in-between. And for those of you still reading this instead of listening already, yeah I realize this pretty nerdy, but I pay my taxes and I'm an adult with disposable income so just sit back and enjoy. Support the show Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

All right, all right. Take your seats. All the rowdies and ruffians. Sit down for another fun episode. This week, we get to hear from my highly esteemed co-host. Get into it. I am, of course, your co-host, Adam. And without further ado, my co-host, if Outkash wrote a song about him,

his roses would not smell like, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. His son does know who his father is, so that's a great thing. And he is smart enough to run the radar on the Death Star. And for this episode, just like I get my chance to, I don't know if it's come out or not, but he's going Han Solo for this episode, and I am going to be sitting in Chubacca's chair. I'm not going to lie to you. I hate how many puns you just use, and I don't know if you use the proper application of them or not. What are you talking about? The Death Star has a radar.

You know what? Here's the thing. by the end of this episode, you're going to go back and you're going to know if you made proper reference in that. Because what we're talking about here is something near and dear to my heart. And we're going history of Star Wars. And I'm not doing history of Star Wars,

like the making of the movie and all that kind of stuff. Star Wars is it, it's meaty. It's real meaty. And if you have listened to the Lord of the Rings episode, Daddy likes his meat. It's just something about the lore and all of like the backstory and all the shit that like goes on that is fucking awesome. And that's also one of the things that makes it so overwhelming. So before we get started, my goal is to entertain people that know about Star Wars and provide some facts they might not have known.

But I want to make Star Wars approachable. You don't have to like it after this. But if you wanted to flip on a new series or watch a movie, you would know who the characters are and you would know like, like what's led up to that point. And I'm going to try to make it easily digestible because they don't want to hurt your tummies. I'm in. All right.

So, before we start, let the force awaken. No. See, and you're going to understand why that was, okay. Nope. You ruined it.

All right. You ruined it. I was going to say strap in chewy. We're going into hyperdrive. You're going to have to redeem yourself by the end of this stuff. It's going to be magic. Okay.

So, in the famous words, a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. So like any galaxy, this galaxy is formed just throughout the forming of galaxy, supernovas, black holes, all that, whatever, all that kind of shit we don't understand. And so once the galaxy comes into being,

one thing about like, you know, the force, everyone is familiar with the force, if you know anything about Star Wars, the force actually almost has like a weird scientific explanation element to it. So it's basically described as like an energy field that kind of like binds and generate or binds the universe together and all life together. Well, what it basically is is there is some type of like there's the cosmic force which kind of moves throughout the universe and that's kind of like the afterlife type stuff, fate, things like that. Yeah.

And then you have the living force and the living force boils down to a scientific thing. And all of this comes to being at the kind of the beginning of the galaxy forming. Is there like a positive force and a negative force? It's just the force. So the force can be adapted in positive ways and negative ways. Yeah, it's just how you use it. So you can either use it for, you know, what they consider the light side of the force or what are going to be known as the Jedi.

Or you can use it for your own means. It's a form of power. It's basically what it is. So it's whether you use that power to, you know, subject people and to benefit only yourself or whether you try to use that power for the good of the many. Yeah. And to protect people. So the force comes into being, and from a scientific standpoint, when beings start coming into being, I guess, on all these planets in this galaxy, within their cells are these things, and they're microscopic organisms, and I hate even mentioning this, but it's part of the history now. They're called midichlorians. And basically, the amount of these things you have in your cells determines what your force sensitivity will be. The more of them that you have, the more attuned you can be to the force, the more you can use that to, it's kind of like an enhancer.

Like you can use it to like jump higher. You have a form of almost like awareness or your reactionary time because you can see things better. And that's kind of like where the Jedi get their power. They're just kind of heightened individuals. Is this like a new technology that we just learned about or is this an older technology? Are you trying to compare to something or like in what way do you mean? No, like when did Star Wars scientists find out about this? It would be, well, it takes place a very long time ago.

The Jedi find out about it. sometime around like the time they're able to like look under a microscope and something like for so basic scientific okay but i don't know if anybody knows what it is because it's not like these people that are sensitive to the force they just start out they don't start out it's like the good guys and the bad guys they use the force they all actually start out people that are force sensitive they actually don't even like all get together there's just some people you know a person in a village they're like you know that's crazy ted crazy ted seems to have this relationship with the animals and he feels like he can talk to him and control him.

In reaction, in actuality, he can. That's maybe one of his powers. So it comes into being almost like a superhero would gain their powers in our realm. Yeah. And so to basically explain the time frame that we go off of, like, you know the insane time frame. We go off of like before Jesus and after and that, how that works. So in the Star Wars universe, it's all based on this thing called the Battle of Yavin.

and that's what takes place in what people are familiar with being a new hope, the one that came out in the 70s, the first one. Yeah. That was the Battle of Yavin. So all this shit that takes... Episode 4. Yes. Okay.

So anything happening at this point, you refer to it as B, B, B, B.Wi, before Battle of Yavin, after the Battle of Yavin, it's fucking ridiculous. But anyway, so about 100,000 years before the Battle of Yavin, this planet named Corosan, and it becomes the Galactic capital. if you've ever seen the movies. It's the planet that basically looks like it's a giant city. It's where the council meets. That's where the Jedi Temple is at the time.

It's where the Senate for the Galactic Senate and everything like that. That's where all that kind of stuff is. So that starts to form in like the civilization that lived there started to build cities. Everyone's kind of trapped on their own planet at this point. Space travel doesn't get invented like hyperspace, doesn't even get studied until about 57,000 BBY. And basically some of... astronomers that were able to get into like orbit into around their own planet and stuff like that

they saw these animals like natural space faring animals and they were called uh pergill huh and they're like how the fuck they're basically like giant space whales is kind of what they look like and like how the fuck are these things out there and then these things like launched into hyperspace so they were able to go ahead and manipulate space in some way that they can naturally do this just through evolution so i don't know usually what that means is they fucking and caught some and killed them and tried to analyze what they're doing and all that shit. And this hyperspace travel is actually born. But the thing with hyperspace is it's like trying to draw a line and you have to stick to that

line. So if you don't know what's in that line for as far as you're going, you're going to crash into a moon or a planet. So it's kind of dangerous. It's still like a new front. It's the new frontier is basically what it is. So in 25,000 before you haven't, this is when like, this group of people are able to get together and they call themselves the

diebendu and they're like the pre-Jedai they basically create like a social club of people who feel like they're special and might have like some force abilities so this was on the original planet I don't know what planet this is actually on I just I'm just trying to there's a lot of this shit man and so I'm just trying to hit some of the finer points of it I get you I'm sorry to shoot you down so early into the episode this is a whole new world for me like literally it's gonna be a lot of new worlds. I like it. So this guy, basically, he's known as the Prime Jedi.

He's basically the first dude that was like, hey, why don't we use these powers for good? Let's get a whole bunch of us and try to get a whole bunch of us together. So he founds the Jedi order on this planet called, it's like Octo or something. And it's basically like an ocean world with like islands on it. So it's like a monastery. So they're like monks. They're basically at this point. They're not even warriors.

Like lightsabers don't. exist at this point or anything like that. So they're just people that like know they have this weird spiritual connection in different ways and they get together as like in a monastery basically and they're like kind of like monks. And they have the force. They have the ability to like tap into it. Oh, yes. And they're using it.

They're not using it for like evil or like control or anything like that. They're just kind of like, the fuck is this. And probably more studying what is going on with. Yeah. Yeah. And so around this time, this other planet, it's called Illam, is just, discovered and what makes this planet special is through the natural formation of the planet, it has formed these crystals within the planet. And weirdly enough, the crystals are like a

tuning fork for the force. They can become like attuned to the force. And in a sense, they discover that they actually can be attuned to a specific force user. So like you can find the crystal that like speaks to you and like hums at your same frequency. And then that's what they end up using to build their lightsabers. So it's not. not like, hey, just like when the Jedi are formed fully, it's not like, hey, go pick out which lightsaber you want. You have to, as part of your training, you have to design, you have to go find your crystal on this planet as part of a ritual. You have to find the crystal that matches to you. And then you have to assemble using the force, your lightsaber. Sometimes

it doesn't work correctly and it blows up. You have to start all over again. And like there's Is that where you get the different... Sorry, is that where you get the different colors of the beams? Yeah, so initially there were just supposed to be the red and the... Sorry, the blue and the green for the Jedi. Uh-huh. And then red for Sith. The reason that they're supposed to be red for the Sith is they actually take the crystals from Jedi they've killed,

and they force them to their will, and they call it bleeding the crystal. Oh, so that's what they're bad. That's why they call it bleeding it. So not to skip ahead. Maybe I can wait. No, no, no. Doroth Mall with a dual saber. Is that two different crystals?

It is. It's basically just two light sabers attached to the hilt. Okay. Okay. Because there's been other force users that have done that, and then they break them off, and they're able to use them as two. Okay.

Any way you can figure out to use a fucking laser sword, you will. Yeah, of course. And I'll get to when lightsaberers are creating, because there's a scientific explanation. It's not like fucking magic. Once you discover, like, the science behind it, you're like, oh, yeah, I guess they could do that. Okay.

So the Galactic Republic in about 25,000, we're still kind of in that range. The Galactic actually Republic forms. So enough people have used like these slower hyperspace lanes because you can only go straight. Like let's go that way and then you have to figure out your next course. Enough people within what they call the core worlds. The galaxy is around like a black hole basically. So you have the inner core and that's where the core worlds are. Those are like the first settled ones, the ones that are usually.

more civilized in like the richer worlds, the older, more established ones. You have mid-rim worlds, which are the next ring out, still kind of civilized, not really still hostile, and, you know, they each have like businesses.

Some are owned by corporations and all this stuff. Then you have your outer rim, and that's where, like, you get, like, piracy and, like, fucking, cartels. The Wild Wild West. The Wild West.

And then you actually have a region called the unknown region that's even further out that no one really knows how the fuck to get through. But it has life. Bad things have come through it. Okay.

Yeah, it's never usually good things coming through the unknown region. So once they discovered the, once they actually form the Galactic Republic, and there's been like changes throughout the course of, because we're still fucking 25,000 years even before catching up with Luke Skywalker and shit. So 22 worlds, one of them being Alderon, and I mentioned that because that planet comes into play later for several like key figures in history. Alderon. Alderon.

Okay. So that one is actually within the first 22 core worlds that formed the Galactic Republic. So then basically all these worlds working together, you get to your, what would be your expansionist period. It's like, hey guys, we're all in the same team now. We're all working together. You have planets sharing resources so like these guys are really good shipbuilders. These guys are agriculture. Like you have like trade starts to form and all that kind of stuff. A world economy. a galactic economy so basically just scale it up from whatever it is

so like entire worlds will be like almost dedicated to like shipbuilding and if you want a shipbuilding you go to like this planet called quad quad drive yards on this one planet so speaking of that there's a planet that's actually called Karelia and Karelia is probably famous for being Hans Sillo's home planet

Oh okay so but it's also like like a space faring planet They build a lot of different ships and things like that freighters and actually the Millennium Falcon is a Corillian built ship. Huh. So that's kind of think of why Han Solo also has like a connection to it because it was built on its own world.

Are all like the X-wings and shit coming from there too? No, these are coming from different like, think of it like it's the military industrial complex man within this universe. You have different Lockheed and Lodied designing prototypes. And the way that the Rebel Alliance got the X-wing is crazy. Like they didn't want the blue prints to fall into the hands of the empire at the time.

So the people that designed it, all the like scientists and shit, defected to the rebellion and started building them for the rebellion. And they were way more advanced than what the empire had. That's why they were able to, you know, kind of battle. Huh. Okay. There's a lot of shit that goes into this. In case you guys haven't realized it, I only have a very cursory knowledge of...

There's a lot of him looking at me and just nodding right now. It's okay, Baby Bird, you can trust me. I'm not going to take you on a trip to Mount Doom and hold you here for three and a half hours hostage. I could. but I'm not going to. So at this point, they're kind of getting good at the hyperspace shit

and they're starting to develop hyperspace routes. Longer periods you can go through hyperspace, it's facilitating trade for freighters. Different systems are more accessible because you're able to go further faster. Yeah, you're opening up to another ring.

Mm-hmm. And this is kind of at a point when the Jedi aren't really affiliated with the Republic. It's not like when people are more familiar with them that they used to be like kind of the police force, not like in that way they were like the peacekeepers of the republic and everything and worked for the Senate.

They're still just kind of like this weird kind of funky like religious offshoots. Of these people hanging out on this island planet like trying to figure out what the fuck's going on in their heads. Well, there comes a time when like they're growing, they're growing, they're growing. And after one Jedi, the Sloan Jedi decides to, he's like, I kind of feel like we're like tapping into only like partial version of this. so he actually the first dark Jedi start to kind of experience with the dark side and everything like that regular Jedi are like hey guys

don't do that it doesn't even get into the point when it's like hey you guys we're gonna like kill you everything it's like guys quit doing that guys quit doing that and then finally they kick them out I think there are maybe some skirmishes but then they're like you're exiled from the Jedi order and they flee to this planet called Morband

so they're not even called Sith at this point So what happens is they go to this planet called Moriband where there's a species that are named the Sith. And because these guys have powers and shit, like I said, you can use this power for whatever you want. So it's going to be exactly what happens in other cultures. These powerful guys come down to a species who isn't as powerful as them and guess who's going to take over?

Yeah, the more powerful. Exactly. So basically these Jedi basically come down and are able to conquer this Sith species. And then at that point, through intermingling with them and everything like that, they became known as the Sith. And so that's just kind of the common term that you'll use for like Jedi that are more toward like the dark side, what the other side of the force.

So during this time, they start to build up their power. They have basically a planetary workforce. And it's not like a one planet thing where they're like, hey, we can see what you're doing over on this other continent and knock it off. They can basically hide out and come and attack other planets because the Republic is still small. Yeah. They can go take over other population centers. And so they start to build it this empire. The Sith Empire?

Yes. The Sith start to build up an empire. So the Jedi are kind of now starting to spread out to other planets too. And on one planet they established like a cultural center on this planet called the Ausis. So they're starting to kind of make themselves more known to the universe and the galaxy at large. And they have a history now too. They do. But for the most part, it's people are like.

I don't know if they're kind of standoff shopbound, but there's these weird, like, monkish people who say they just want to help us and they just want to be, like, benevolent and stuff. I can see that being weird. So in 5,000, and that expansion period is like a 20,000-year period. So in 5,000, Battle Before Yavin,

basically this event happens that's called the Great Hyperspace War. This is basically when the Sith Empire reveals itself, and it's like surprise motherfuckers and this Sith Lord name Nagasado basically leads the forces in the Sith they're able to go all the way in and basically take Coruscant which is the Republic Capital

and they actually build on the planet they build like a Sith shrine I don't know how quick they're about this but they like dig into the planet and create this like cis shrine and eventually through this during the hyperspace war the Jedi end up battling back the Sith they help retake and they're fighting it's not just the Jedi they're just not that many of it's not like an army.

They're like commanding the army like the Republic and they're serving as like the generals. So they end up taking back Corrassant and they're like, hey, you know what we should do? We should like do something about this. And so they build like a small temple like on top of the shrine. They're like, hey, we'll just keep the bad stuff in here by building another building on top. We'll tamp it down. We'll make you forget it. Exactly.

Like we're just going to pour over this. We're just going to concrete over it like a dead mafia body. And hopefully that's and it shouldn't it shouldn't stink anymore. Shouldn't reappear. It shouldn't stink anymore. So about a thousand years after that. And the Jedi at this point are kind of heroes. And so I think then they kind of established the relationship with the Republican being like,

hey, why don't we just like help you guys out? We can kind of be your guys' unofficial, like, peacekeepers. Well, I'm sure the Republic's like, you guys kind of want us this thing. So maybe if you want to hang out and stop it from ever happening again. And so, and I probably ended up missing when it actually happens. but after Illam is discovered sometime after that, like lightsaber start to be developed. First they started these things called like proto savers,

and it's basically like, imagine how uncle would be if like you've rolled up, like a lightsaber's fucking badass. But what if you had like a backpack that you had to have a cable connected to it? Hold on, you had to fucking start it. It looked like a ghost busters. It's still pretty cool, but not as cool. Yeah. So it kind of started out with like a battery pack

that had to run into the hilt of this thing. And then as technology advanced, energy cells were able to be made smaller. So it's like a computer. computer. Yes. So I'm holding up Obi-One, Obi-One, Kenobi's lightsaber hilt right now for you. We're getting a picture of that for the... Yes, we will take a picture of this. So basically, the bottom portion is just a battery. Yep. And the battery actually just sends energy. And in this

portion, this is where your crystal would be. Okay. So basically the power is just going through the crystal. It goes up through what they call an emitter. And all it is, is it's not actually a full beam of, it's not, it's a laser or energy. What it is is it's actually a loop, but you can't see the, it loops back on itself so closely that you can't see it. So it's basically just a loop of energy. And that's why also like some lightsabers, I know I'm getting into like crazy nerd territory. No, I'm with you, because I'm hearing stuff that, that, uh, I can like see in my head. Okay. So some sabers like Anakin and Darth Vader's lightsaber would have a setting where they could increase and bring down the blade.

So it would just close the loop a little bit. Yes. And so that's basically, it's not magic. It's just a science that they would basically just have a battery, powering energy through this focusing crystal and going through and creating a loop. But the thing that made it special is that because that crystal was in there, that crystal was attuned to you, your lightsaber would almost feel like if you were holding something and it

hummed to the like frequency of your body to where it almost felt just like perfect. Another part of your body. Another part of you. So your balance. and everything like that was better with it, and you were just attuned to it. That's why they used the crystals that they found. Okay.

Oh, fun fact, the robot that helped them all, like, actually designed the lightsabers. It was, he worked on a ship that would take the, you know, when they were younglings, when they went to go pick out their crystals, he would take them on a ship. It was this old-ass fucking ship. This robot was, like, thousands of years old,

like from the beginnings of the Jedi. After they got their crystals, they would fly back on this ship, and this droid would help, helped them build and pick out all the parts for their lightsabers to actually build them. That's awesome. And it helped build like thousands of lightsabers. I know that's really like...

Was it C3Po's dad? No. He looked cooler in C3Pio. His name was like harangue or something like that. He was C2PO. Something like that. He was a precursor. So in 4,000, Battle Before You have in, this planet called Nabu is settled.

And the reason I mention this is because a lot of key figures within this history come from Nebbu. and originally it was some human humanoids basically human beings coming into this planet that was populated by the species that were like kind of an aquatic species called the Gungans they fought for a bunch of generations and then they came to an agreement

that like the humans would live on the surface and the Gungans would live under these big underwater cities Atlantean sort of Yeah except they kind of look like kind of like fish lizard people Oh okay You know are you familiar with Jar Jar Binks Unfortunately yes

Jar Jarr Binks is a Gungan Yeah so Not the best representation of his species. I believe that his species have very many redeeming qualities. I'll give it to him, though. He's a very memorable character. He is, but Jar Jar is responsible for a lot of horrible shit. Inadvertently, just because he's not that smart.

So basically, when Nebu is settled, it ends up being settled and kind of established by these five royal families of the human. And kind of how they determine how the royalty from Nabu is going to happen throughout its history is every time a monarch is elected from one of these five royal families that when they die or they, oh, actually, they leave. They have just like quick terms of office. So it's like two years or something, two or four years. And then they can get elected to a second term. It kind of works similar to the way we do things. Yeah.

Yeah. But then after that, someone else is selected out of those five houses to be the, so everyone kind of gets their turn depending on who gets elected. Okay. and so one of the families that eventually establish itself is the Palpatines on Nabu. Sounds familiar. Another one of them are the, oh, I want to say it's the barrier or something like that. It's the family who Padme Amadalek comes from. Okay.

The one that has Lucan Leah's mom. Yeah. Okay. She eventually comes from this lineage. That's how she gets elected queen of Nabu in the prequel, the first prequel movie. So. she likes the dark force she likes the what

the dark force no she does not like the dark force Adam she likes bad boys so there's more expansion you know as they're able to get further out into the universe there are more planets are being settled in everything and basically

there are certain planets that because of the expansion figure out that they're going to have to go to war and there are certain cultures that are just more warlike than others. And so kind of as they're expanding,

the whole thing with the Jedi that it's not cool, how they get Jedi is people aren't like coming in and being like, hey, I'd like to be a Jedi please and they're like, well, let's do a test and then figure out if you can be a Jedi. Yeah. No, they're finding force sensitive kids when they're like young as shit.

Like I'm talking like, like for example, Obi-1 Kenobi was taken by the Jedi when he was three. Kind of like X-Men? No, like, I'm sorry, and I mean three months old when I say that. Oh, shit. Okay. So, like, no, what I mean is like, so I think if parents suspected that their kid might be four sensitive,

because the Jedi were known throughout the universe for a while, you know. Yeah. I think parents would, you know, notify someone local and be like, hey, I think my kid is four sensitive. Can you get in touch? And I'm sure they had like, hey, Jedi Temple hotline. Hey, yeah, I think my neighbor's kid. Hey, yo, I think my neighbor's kid is four sensitive. He's making these rocks float.

And they're like, we'll send someone out. Huh. So they would send out like a Jedi master who would evaluate these kids. And if they were foreign sensitive, you'd be like, pack your shit. It's time to go. And they'd say goodbye to their families. I'm sure the families had to give consent. And I'm sure it had to be a great honor.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. For those families, for a kid to go trying to be a Jedi. This was a kidnap. This was like, we're giving our kid up for the greater good. You're raising child soldiers. If we're going to, let's not, yeah, let's not be. You guys are peacekeepers.

We're raising child peacekeepers, is what we're doing. So this planet has these people, there's a planet called Mandalor. And it is populated by the Mandalorians. So the first Mandalorian Jedi, and they're like kind of a very like warlike people. His name is Tar Vizla. And I don't know if you've ever seen it on TV shows or anything, but there's a thing called the Dark Saber. And it basically is a lightsaber, but instead of having what you would consider like just a rod for the blade, it actually looks. like a blade and it sounds very specific

it has a very specific hum to it like this has a sound mode that has that if you hear it you instantly know what it is you know it's something different yeah and it's like a black blade but it glows white around it it's fucking badass yeah I like that that sounds fun yeah so he actually used

he invents that for his lightsaber so after you know he's been a jet for a little bit and this doesn't have any bearing on what's going to happen but that is called the old Republic that existed. So the fall of the old Republic actually happens when the Mandalrians decide that they're going to go to war and start expanding themselves. And it's still not to the point where it's just like there's a fucking republic outpost on every planet. So if like an enemy

rolls in, it's like help, help, call for help. Like you can have these planets taking over other planets and the Republic planets not even knowing about it or hearing about it and not being able to do anything. It's the, it's fucking space. It's enormous. And you can only have so many war ships and everything like that. So like the Mandalorans are coming in like straight up nuking planets like cities and shit and then taking over and then forcing people into to serve in their army and all this shit. So the Republican the Jedi. It's got to be growing pretty quickly. It is. And they've kind of specially modified themselves not like biologically, but they've

designed their combat and their armor like almost specifically to handle Jedi. It almost enhances their powers. They're the ones that like the show the Mandalorian They got the jet packs on and the helmets that they never take off And shoot fucking fire out of their wrist and that shit They do all that to give themselves an edge against Jedi Who can use the force and their armor is resistant like to lightsabers All that kind of shit So the Jedi the actual Jedi council that exists at this point is like hey

We're not gonna get involved with this we're not gonna fight this battle And there's this dude And here's what I'm gonna say before I get into this there's a lot of branches of history that go along with this. Some are what they call recognized or canon. Some stuff is called non-canon. It's determined by the people who are Disney, the mouse house, what is currently canon.

Somehow they have thrown out some of the best stuff and made it not canon. I'm going to add in the stuff that I want to. That's canon. That's the most badass stuff that happens. You're not Bobiker. I'm not behooving to any mouse, any mouse, dog, duck, or other dog. But if you would like to throw some money our way for sponsorship to this podcast, we'll be given our socials at the end, Disney.

Throw some of that, throw some of that cheddar our way. We like the cheese too. So anyway, so the Jedi are like, hey, we don't want that smoke. We're peacekeepers. We're not, you know, we're not soldiers. We're not fighters. And this Jedi Knight, his name is Reven, he's like, hold up, nah, we're not doing that. So he, and like the Mandalorans have been causing like atrocities.

Like I don't need to say that nuking another planet is not an atrocity, but like drove some species to like extinction. There was an instance where they had like a civilization or a species on the planet. They were getting ready to like wipe out the species. And one of them like actually the Mandalorian stump is like, like, what are we doing? Like this is genocide. Like this isn't what we're about. They killed her along with the rest of the species. Like 200 of them made it off planet. Revin at one point went down and when the Jedi Council was still like deliberating if we're going to get in on this, he went down and found evidence of all this and actually took her Mandalorian mask. And that's what he used. Revin. Yeah. This is what Revin used once he started using a mask. So he goes back to, and I don't think he started using it right away. He used. He used it. it a little bit later in his career. He goes back to the Jedi and he's like, you know what, I'm not sitting this one out.

And so it wasn't like, hey, you can't do that. It was like, hey, man, you probably shouldn't go do that. Please don't. He's like, fuck you guys. And he had a bunch of followers. Like, he had a guy that was, had trained with him since he was a kid that was his best friend. His name was Alec.

So he's taking like a special forces of Jedi. He takes a bunch of like knights. I want to go with him that didn't think they should be sitting this thing out. Yeah. And basically launch a war. And now he's leading like the Republic forces against the Mandalrians. So and he's a great tactician. He's really smart.

He's an excellent like warrior and everything. So he starts like the Mandalorians are getting victories, but like they're battling the Mandalorians back. And he ends up, there's this pivotal battle between like the Republic and his forces. I think they call themselves the Revan Kists or something like that. There's always a weird ass religious name to following somebody. And the leader of the Mandalorians, not very original, his name was Mandelor, like something like that.

I had to start somewhere. There you go. The planet's called Mandelor, so again, not very original. And he gets on the horn with Revan. He's like, let's settle this one-on-one. It's warrior culture. They respect that kind of stuff. Reven's like, I'll be right over.

They go over to his command ship. He ends up killing this guy. Before the Mono-I-Mono or during the Mono-I-Mono. He kills him during the Mono-Mano. It's like a sanctioned match. He's like, you kill me, my people will give up or, you know, we'll surrender. We do this.

So Revin's like, yeah, I'm going to fucking smoke this guy. Not like they just caught him and stabbed him in the dressing room. No, no, no. This was like a sanctioned thing. Like, let's do this the old way. Yeah. So he ends up killing him. It was, you know, an intense battle.

But Revin ends up, part of their culture is the whole helmet and mask thing. They have to have his mask, Mandelor, the mask of Mandelor, to assign another leader. Revin's like, nah, it's mine, I'm taking it. Yeah, why would you give that back? Yeah, he's not going to give it back. So what ends up happening is he is supposed to report back to the Jedi. Like, okay, you beat these guys, you need to report back to the Jedi Temple. And during some of this, like, Mandalorian War, he started to hear rumors from the unknown region

that there was like a Sith Empire out there. And so after the Mandalorian War, he was like, I should probably do something about this. while I'm out here, I might as well handle this too. So he doesn't end up going back to the council. He follows a bunch of clues and is able to find this thing that was built by like an empire a long time ago called a Star Forge. And it basically used the power from a star and was able to manufacture war materials and ships and build all this kind of stuff. The Star Forge? Yeah.

Some of this stuff is not. It's just that simple. Like we're talking about ancient blacksmithing and now we're talking about. No, it was a. in huge space station that was developed by this highly advanced empire that it, like, destroyed itself. Yeah, but a forge is something where you made. I know what it is, but what it does is it builds stuff. It creates ships and everything.

Listen, man, I didn't write this shit. Okay. I just enjoyed it. Yeah, I get it. Do you want the history or not? Yeah. I'm going to, you have to use the term Star Forge, if that's all right. That's fine.

Okay. You're just going to have that smile. Just, you're forging stars out there. Okay. Yes. Again, not clever. So he basically uses this StarForge And kind of through his own mechanations

Kind of falls over to the cis side And it's like, I've got all this shit I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to be a Sith But I'm going to go take down these other Sith And so basically He goes to take down these other Sith He ends up getting brainwashed

And sent back to make war Like on the galaxy him and his buddy Alec he's now Remind's now the master of the Sith Alex the apprentice But like he just He wasn't gonna

I don't really know how to Like he came over to fight them But he was not And he was not prepared Yeah He was dealing with like some type of like Sith and like I don't know Some guy that was way more powerful

Than him in the dark side Okay He got convinced and brainwashed Like I don't know if he got tortured or whatnot But he got sent back and he's like Go soften up the galaxy Yeah and everything like that.

And then we'll come in and we'll have peace and order. That's what it's always, you know, we're trying to being peace in order, but just trying to bring it through power. The Sith's were evolving their dark side. It is, but it, while they were over there.

It exists that in the world. So it's just like they're using the power for their own benefit and their own, you know, mechanicians and everything. But, I mean, as far as like the whole time

where they were unknown and nobody had come over to mess with them, they had advanced. Oh, yeah, definitely. Yeah. Yeah, they were just biding their time.

Oh, so they basically send, they're like, Hey, Revin, go back and, like, kind of find out what the status is and what the strength is. Cost some chaos and start doing some damage, and then we'll come in and sweep up. We got some shit for him. Exactly. So he comes back and there's basically this Jedi Civil War.

What ends up happening is the whole thing with the Sith is it's a master and apprentice type situation. So, but it's not just one master, one apprentice. That comes later on. Every Sith master would have an apprentice. So you'd have like fucking 50 or 100 Sith masters and a bunch of apprentices. And the whole thing is is not only is the point with the master and the apprentice, the apprentice is supposed to at some point try to kill the master to usurp them or die trying. And then the master gets another apprentice.

Then they're infighting with other masters and apprentices. So there's all this fucking infighting and shit. So when Reifton comes back, he kind of is just like, no, it's just me and me and Malik. And this guy changes. And that's when you start to get the Darth. stuff. So he's Darth Revan, Darth Malik. So them in the Republic get into, like, a space battle. There's this Jedi chick, and her name is Bastila Sean.

So I'm just going to say it's Sean. She has this weird power that kind of allows her to influence the outcome of battles and everything like that. She can, like, bolster the morale of, like, troops that she wants to. Okay. So they basically are having this. Greek goddess almost. Huh? Like Greek goddish.

Kind of. You can emboldened people to fight better. Kind of. Yeah, exactly. Encouragement. Yeah. Something like that. So they're battling and they have this plan to basically send like a Jedi strike,

like a black ops team. They're like, we're going to board Revin's ship and we're going to kill him. There's going to be like five of us. So she's with them and they get onto the ship. They get to the bridge. And Revin's like, all right, let's fucking do this and gets ready to fight. Well, at that point, Malik is on his flagship, and he's like, oh, shit, here's my chance. And he's, like, fire on the bridge of his ship.

And has his ship fire on to Revin's ship. He's like, I can just kill him in all the Jedi right now. And then I can be the master. Yeah. That's their mindset. Okay. So however, to get there, I'm going to say you're going to get there. Yeah, there's no harm in that.

There's no dishonor and firing upon someone's ship. And what happens is Revin gets, like, critically injured, but then, like, Bastloshan has an idea so they actually grab him because they're going to be like well we can at least interrogate him get some more information they take him back to basically the Jedi headquarters at that point the Jedi homeworld and they're like what if we fucking like re-brainwash him and then we can find out about all this other ship it's it's yeah he's just the Manchurian candidate he pretty much is man and so they basically make him think that he's not like a Jedi he's just like a normal guy because they're trying to get him comfortable and then

trying to find out what he can lead. Because they're like, where did you get this giant fucking enemy fleet? We'd like to know more about what... Tell us about the Star Forge. Yes. So he ends up like waking up and being like, the fuck am I. Who the fuck am I? And through all this series of events, Basilis Sean has kind of like put into his orbit

to try to like guide him to getting these memories back. He finally finds like retraces his steps to like how he got to the StarForge. And as he goes, he starts picking up. bits of his memory. And then all of a sudden, remember how I said, um, he stole them, not the mask that was the chain of commander, the new mandolore, but the, the dead woman's. Yes. When he was Revin, Darth Revin, that's the mask he wore. Okay. And so. And he remembered that. He ended up like, finding the mask or something like that. And it jogged his memory. And he's like, oh shit. He's like, I was this guy. But then he decides not to be that guy anymore. And he's like, okay, he's like,

maybe I can dabble in this a little bit of both. He ends up through, you know, the normal Star Wars series of events, Hero's Journey, he ends up finding Malik, kills his old apprentice. And then he's like, I'm going to go back into that Sith Empire place. And this time I'm not going to get tricked. Bad choice. So he ends up going back and is really kind of never heard from again. Jedi aren't supposed to have relationships or anything,

but there is a child that may have been conceived between him and Bastila and she ends up becoming like a grandmaster of the Jedi Order or some shit. The child? Their child? Or Bastila? No, no, no. Their child. Okay. Yeah.

Or she might be the child of them. I'm trying to remember how it went. No, no, no. She, yeah. Okay. Yes. So... Before we continue one, can we get a bathroom break in? We can't get a bathroom break.

Well, hey there, all you sexy high story. How are you guys doing? It is time for socials. Where can they find us on Instagram? If they want to follow us, they can find us at Historically High Pod on Instagram. That goes the same for threads as well. You can also find us on Twitter. Tell them about Twitter.

Historically high. That's historically H-I on Twitter. and if you want to email any of your comments or suggestions, where can they find a sad, Adam? Historically High Podcast at gmail.com. J-ch-ch-ch-mail. All right, and back to the show. All right, we're back. Are you ready?

I'm ready. I've learned so much. And the little knowledge that I have is starting to be tied together by what you're saying. Did you have a little Bacta? A little Bacta. Yeah, Bacta. is basically like the miracle cure.

Like, think penicillin, but if penicillin could, like, cure everything. And so basically, do you remember in Star Wars when you'd see people floating in tanks? They'd have that oxygen mask on and be floating there? That's a Bacta tank. So basically you'd submerge your body in this and it was supposed to, like, heal you.

I thought you were trying to set me up with the D's nuts. No. When you said back to, I thought it was like back to your throat or something like that. Oh, God damn. That's actually good. I'm going to have to add that in as a Star Wars pun. All right. we got, so we got about

thousand years, thousand, uh, thirty two battle before you happen. Before Y B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B Um, so basically. So basically the end of that Sith Jedi Civil War and everything the Jedi officially built like their big ass temple on Corsont again right over that Sith shrine they're like we're just going to keep it in yeah Like they had a little one but now they're like moving in that's where they're big temple yeah exactly this is where they're gonna do all their shit

their library, all their training, all this stuff. This is their central location because they got to be close to the Senate. The Academy has to be close to the Senate. They got to know where the stuff, you know, goings on. Do they have representation now? Like, are they a part of the... Nope, they're just the peacekeepers. They're not involved in it.

They're just kind of that branch that like, hey, can you guys go handle this peace negotiation or handle this border dispute or something? So they don't have any votes in the Senate? Nope. Okay. Nope. No, not supposed to have any political aspirations or not supposed to lean on any side of the political spectrum.

It's supposed to be totally neutral. That's good. Yeah. So at the end of this, this is when basically the Sith are thought to have been wiped out. And there's this guy that ends up surviving. His name is Darth Bain. There were a shit ton of darts during this time. This guy survives and he's like, we basically just killed each other because no one could keep from fucking backstabbing and then all the Jedi.

It's like an organized force versus a disorganized force. So he's like, I'm going to figure out a way to do it better. So he says, I'm going to do this new thing. it's going to be called the rule of two. At any given time, there are only two Sith. Lords. You could still have people you train to be like Sith assassins and they could still use like a red lightsaber.

But people that were like lords, the two had guys, always had to have a master, the head guy, and then an apprentice. No more, no less. I feel like we're too lenient here. What do you mean? It was a bad idea. We shouldn't just let them continue to train. I don't get where you're...

What do you mean? Because if they lost, they should... Like, they toned it down to what it was. Like there was still just two of them, right? Why did they allow two of them? This guy escaped. It wasn't like this guy just sat there and he's like, hey, and in front of the Jedi was like,

I'll just keep it at two of us. He escaped from like the final battle. But he didn't want to grow the Sith Empire back into it. His outlook on it was the Sith crumbled from within. They can't go back to the same system because they all have the imping. Yeah. Small government. Exactly.

So what he's doing is he's like, like we we can't beat them because by the time even we rebuild, they're just going to be that much bigger. And they have this republic. So he designs this thing and it's the grand plan. And this takes place over like thousands or like at least a thousand years. What he's basically going to be doing is he's going to keep it down to two Sith and they're going to manipulate through political dealings and everything for a thousand,

however long it takes to enact this until they're back in a system of control where they're not just trying to like take over, you know, and make war on the galaxy. They basically just slip in and take it over without anyone realizing it. No bluster, no nothing. They're just going to try to sneak in the back door. They're not even to know that the Sith still exists. They're just going to operate as businessmen

or as like people of prominence. Until one day they're back into power. Exactly. But they're going to use their powers to essentially do maneuverings and everything. And so again, Darth Bain comes up with the grand plan. The centerpiece of that is the rule of two. Not a bad plan.

Not a bad plan. A lot less bloodshed. Yeah, we try. to kick in the front door. It didn't work out for us many times. There were many fights. If they leave a window open for us, though, we're in. Exactly. And he knew it was going to be such a long-term

plan that he didn't have any intention of enacting it himself. He was simply going to be the first piece in establishing complete Sith control over the galaxy. It's a forbearer just the guy to settle up. So about a thousand since the Sith Jedi War ended in a thousand

battle before you have and you get what's called the Republic era. This is where base basically like almost all of the known galaxy has representation in the Senate. And so there's a Jedi temple finally built on that planet, Ilam, where they get their light table, light saber crystals. Yoda's born in 896, battle before you have in. So Yoda's like 159, 100 years old. He's old a shit.

He's born on the lightsaber crystal planet. No, Yoda was born. I don't actually, I don't think anyone knows where Yoda was born. Really? They don't even know it's species. How is that possible that there's so much writing on Star Wars? Because anyone that just, you could make up something. I could say Yoda was from Bandorf 7,

unless I can get approval from fucking Disney and Lucasfilm, it doesn't get made. Are there like theories in the book, though? Here's a example. John Stewart had mentioned something about not knowing that it was a shame that no one knew where Obi-1 Canovi was from. so George Lucas said he's from Stu John He basically named

He named it after John Stewart Because John Stewart said something And now in canon Obi-1 Canobey is from Stu John That's the planet he originated from Because there was never one established before That's awesome Do you know how cool that would be to have the fucking feathering cap like that?

He wrote that book What? Or he wrote all the Star Wars books too George Lucas? Yeah No Who wrote those? Why is that guy not chiming in? there have been so many writers of so many Star Wars like

so you have the stuff that's what's considered canon like a timeline then you have all of this stuff that branched off through other character side stories dude the amount of Star Wars actual like approved fiction is fucking insane and that's even one of the more madding things about it is that after like they did the prequels which have aged better they're not like fantastic by any means but they're much better than the fucking sequels uh-huh after like imagine it this way. After Return of the Jedi, that was in 83, 84, I think. You then had no Star Wars up until they released the prequels in like the late 90s. So all that there was was books and people

writing books about what Luke Skywalker, like authors that were hired by Star Wars on Lucasfilm to write stories about Luke Skywalker reestablishing. Oh, so not just fan fiction. East established literature. Wow. And that's why when they came back and had the film rights for the prequel, and then Disney Ball Lucas film, they're like, there's too much shit here. We have to have a single, we wanted to determine the narrative. And so there's a pipeline of what they picked out. All that stuff that happened after Return of the Jedi,

literally like 25 years or so, like, yeah, 20, 25 years of these insanely, like, well-crafted stories. Like you had this new Jedi order that Luke established, but then he broke with certain traditions and he was like, well, we should have families. We should have something to fight for. He had a family and had a kid. And then, like, Han and Leah had, like, twins. And they went on and had, like, a new generation.

So, like, choose your own adventure with this baseline. And then they had, like, instead of doing, hashing out, like, the same villains, they basically had, like, these crazy fucking creatures called the Yuzong Vong. They were, like, this bio, like, mutual, like, they would use, like, living creatures for their armor and shit. And they were, like, naturally not attuned to the force. All these creatures. And then they chose to make the fucking sequels. when they had all of this other stuff

that was amazing to choose from. Wow. And that is my two cents. Do we want to get my Star Wars Fun Fact of the Night Out? Sure. Right now. So you know how you were talking about George Lucas just gets to name shit?

You remember the famous canteena scene when they go in? Of course. And you hear the music in the background. Dun dun dun dun. Yeah. Do you know what that genre of music is called? No.

Jizz. Jiz? Yep. Really? G. Luke said that that was what the genre was called was jizz music. I like it. I like out of all the research that you did, that was the stuff that you found. The best I got.

All right. So getting back to it, Darth Bain, rule of two. So basically during this whole Republic era, the Sith are all behind the scenes, just manipulating shit, getting into the galactic. Like, as weird as it sounds, and is like making money, establishing power. powerful contacts, all this kind of shit. So in 867, Nabu joins the Republic and has that five ruling family type thing. Now, in 500 BBY, this is what's considered the high Republic era. Not like, hey, man, like, this is when we've reached our pinnacle of the Republic.

Have the Sith tried penetrating into the five families? You're going to see. Okay. Hey, I like where your fucking heads at. I like where your heads at. And it's going to pay off. Okay. It's going to pay off.

I like that. So, you know, you still have stuff, people that are, like, outside the law in the outer rim and everything. But the rest of civilization is pretty, the High Republic is pretty much stretched out. Locks down. Exactly. This is kind of what I consider, like, the Jedi heyday, like, Rump's bringing it for Jedi. They're, like, going off on missions, and they're going, like, to explore the galaxy and all this stuff.

I imagine it, like, the sound of music, like a Jedi comes over the hill and is like, the hills are alive. Well, you got to think, too, if everybody's in kind of. in unison, there's not a lot of shit that they got to go out and clean up, so they have a lot of exploration. Here's the other thing, too. It's been 500 years now since the guys that you're having to always fucking fight against are gone. So at this point, you've had some five generations of Jedi to settle down, and now you're just like, so we just get exploration, go find out about the mysteries of the universe, fucking right on. I imagine it is the Jedi's giant mushroom trip.

Could be. Like it was basically them going to Joshua Tree for a while. Just whatever you want. Jedi Burning Man. You're still contracted, you still have a job, you're still making money. They're still handling little skirmishes and disagreements between systems. Like someone shows up and a Jedi comes in and is like, is there a problem here? It's not like they're enforcers, but they're just like, hey, what can we do to try to settle this thing down? Yeah. So, 200 Battle, sorry, before Battle of Yavin, Chewbacca's born.

So, Jubca's old as shit. What planet? Kashik. Okay. And that's on the outer rim? I don't know the exact position of Kashik. You would think, because of Trich is. because of Chubakas looks and his rudimentary fighting style, he was probably

Well, yeah, I mean, he could fly, I guess, yeah, okay Well, the thing is, is like, Wookies are, like, very, like, social and civilized animals. They just choose to live that way, like, with nature and attuned to it. There's something about their planet that, like, it passed through during its formation through some type of, like, radiation, and that's what made all of the fucking, like, trees grow huge, because they live in the fucking trees and everything. But, yeah, I mean, they just speak, like, they're very smart.

They just happen to speak wookie. Wukinese, Woki, I don't know exactly what it's called. But they're, I don't think they have like full on space travel. But they're like, you know, they're civilized. When they bring them into the Republic, though, they can be trained to fly ships. They, I don't know if they ever. Because I mean, he runs it with Han, doesn't he? He's not just sitting there along for the ride.

What do you mean? Him and Han Solo ride together. Chubak is not just hanging out. Like, he's still running shit. Oh yeah, he's the co-pilot man He's not like the dog That's what I mean, yeah He's got some thought to him

Yeah, exactly He's very smart He's all and he's got a family He just chooses not to talk Well he talks in Wookie And Han can understand him Then Han usually translate Or C3PO translates

You need to have some respect For Chubaka No, I like the guy I just It's odd that everybody else Learned his language I guess he has to understand What people are saying to him

Okay, so in this galaxy the language, what would we consider English, is called Galactic Basic. It's basically a universal language that's created that people could use on different planets and everything. A lot of people also, the technology exists, that you can have a translator, like,

so he can talk. Han knows how to speak wookie, but you can have a translator that then tells you what people are saying. Technology, man. Aliens. Right there. So in like 100, battle before you have in,

this guy named Count Duke, who was born on this planet Serrano. He's born into like a royal family. And it's discovered, I think, pretty early on that he has force powers. And he's almost like abandoned and forced from his home. And the Jedi take him in because his family thinks he's like weird and it's like an abomination. A freak. Yeah.

So 84, Battle for Yevin, this guy named Sheeve Palpatine is born on Nebu into one of the Nebu royal families. And growing up, she, what he was a rast. school. So never got along with his father. He thought his father was like a weak man. And I think he was the oldest of five children, two brothers, two sisters. The only thing him and his father ever bonded over was, I think, like speeder racing or something. And then at some point, like in his youth, he killed two people in a speeder accident. It was all just like covered up. As rich royal families do. Exactly. And so now at this point, When he's born, the current Sith Lord is this guy named Darth Plagius. His real name is Higo Damasque. And he's of this species called a Mun. And basically that species, their planet is known as like the galactic banking clan. They're like the financiers of like the galaxy.

They run a huge like planetary bank loans and everything like that to all these different planets for all this kind of stuff. So he's actually, he runs this company called the Mask Holdings. How it's worked throughout this whole time, like the thousand years, is basically the Sith have just been transferring assets, building fortunes, getting their hands involved in all this stuff. Quietly, though. Quietly. Doing it like as a legitimate business front. So this guy is like the Sith Lord. And he comes to Nabu because apparently like the interior of their planet has like a plasma core and they can siphon energy all.

off, like, safely, and use it for, like, power. They can ship it off world. And so basically, Nabu becomes, like, has this export now. So part of this, like, there's some, like, real world, like, engineering, like, infrastructure shit. This company called the Mask Holdings that he go to mask as part of comes in to help finance this project to start the design. He's not, um, he's doing it as a way to, like, gain power, but this is part of just

maybe his daily business. Exactly. he's not doing it with like a to get in further? I don't believe so. I don't know if this is part of the grand plan. I think the grand plan at this point is just to gain power. Okay. And gain power and influence. So this isn't the final push into.

Yep. So at this point, I believe it's around this time that he actually meets sheep Palpatine. And for some reason, like, so if you're like force sensitive, people especially like a Sith Lord would be able to detect if someone else was forced. sensitive. They would get a feeling. The other person might in turn get like a feeling that, you know, that there's someone nearby or something like that. He doesn't sense that out of sheep Palpatine, but through like a series of events, he actually finds out he's forced sensitive and like takes him as his apprentice. So. Okay. And like, that sounds kind of casual,

but like this guy has probably been looking out for an apprentice. If he's going to take one, he's been looking for one. Yeah, because he has to just choose one. Exactly. So he's had to have been looking, and, like, out of all the galaxy, he picks, like, he picks this guy. So. Oh, by the way, too.

Palpatine, like, haunts my dream some nights. Does he? The, the dark look of him in the hood. Yeah, and the, like, wrinkled face and that kind of stuff. I catch that every once in a while in my mind, and it scares me. You're like, am I going to have a dream about? Palpatine tonight and then you're bringing you to see it. Yes. Yes. The scary thing is I've only seen Star Wars a very few times. So like for him to resonate. If you ever saw him as a kid, it kind of sticks with you. Does it? Yeah. Okay. Maybe that's why. Like when you go back and watch it. Like Tim, the clown isn't really that scary. It can when it gets the sharp teeth turned into crazy. I used to think just the clown was fucking terrifying. So maybe that was it. Maybe it was just like the few times that I caught it. It caught me in a before it of age. Yes, Adam. Yes. So he starts training him.

At some point, they're on like, Palpatine is on like a starship with his family and everything like that and basically flies into a rage, gets an argument with his father, and basically kills his whole family. Then contacts, he go to mask and it's like,

I need help with this and everything. And I think at that point, he might have then been like, oh shit, this guy does have the force. And I think that's actually when he has him become his apprentice. figures out that this guy means business. He's like, I'll get this stuff swept under the rug and everything like that.

We'll make it look like an accident. He's like, and you should be my apprentice. Yeah. For a price. Yeah. So in 57, Battle Before You Evan, that's when Obi-1, Kenobi is born. And like I was saying, yeah, he was taking it six months, six months old. And then he's literally at the age of three.

They're already training him to be a Jedi. Like, how do you expect these people to grow up as like, adjusted individuals. Because you can never date. Romantic attachment is forbidden. No, but I mean, if you think about the old ways of the Jedi when they were just

on their own planet, they didn't really have that. So he was, like, that's traditionally more of... It is, but how do you... You're still have, like, you still have, like, needs as a human. And I guess you are living in a different world than just a one, one-driven plan.

No, you're like, like raised in the Jedi temple and your training and then eventually if you show promise you're picked up by a they don't travel like out into the city or anything like that no so yeah this would be a good time to kind of address it because we're talking about over one can't be anyway so when you get taken back to the the Jedi temple and everything you're basically like put into like a class that's usually in each class is kind of assigned like one Jedi master and so that master helps with like certain studies and like with you know lightsaber techniques and training and all that kind of stuff stuff. And as you get a little bit older, you reach a certain age where the other masters,

sometimes knights, will be able to take on a Padawan. So if they see that you're showing promise or like this Jedi master is like, I have this kid in my class, like you might be interested in them and everything, these masters will pick, but there's only so many masters. So if you get to a certain age and you haven't been chosen as a Padawan, basically an apprentice, you're sent off to do these other jobs you work for like the, like the Jedi, what do they call it? It's like the Jedi Republic or Jedi Services Corps. You're like the kid that ages out of the orphanage? Yes, you're like tending, you have to like go and help tend crops because like the force

can help to like bolster crops and things like. You still have some shit, just nothing that anybody wants to harness. Not the cool shit. You're like a Jedi farmer. And so, or you get put into these like other remedial jobs. You can snake a drain really well, but you're not going to save anybody. stolen your childhood from you where you have no usable skills outside of training from being a Jedi, then they're just like, so if you wanted to leave, like, what are you going to go do?

Like, you're going to go back to your family and have no idea how to, like, deal with them, and they haven't seen you for 10 years? Yeah. Like, it's weird as shit. Like, there's... Yeah, very much. Yeah. You can kind of see why the Sith were like, man, that freedom looks fucking nice.

I don't have to... I can actually, like, have a girlfriend. Like, fuck yeah, man. Yeah, and they're not going to treat you as, like, a second class. The whole principle with the Sith is that you shouldn't try to fight against your passion and everything. Your passion gives you strength.

And the whole thing is like your anger gives you strength. Your emotions give you strength. And the whole point with Jedi is like, yeah, it's okay to have emotions, but you should be able to let go of things very easily. I think I got to watch these movies again because I'm starting to slide more with the Sith every time you say something.

Listen, a lot of this shit's going to be self-inflicted from the Jedi. So you don't have a lot of... That's why so many... Sith doesn't sound too bad. It's cool to see a lightsaber. and it's cool to see like a good like lightsaber fight between like a Jedi of Sith. But like the characters that don't have to deal with all of the bullshit of that,

that's why those characters are getting so much shine right now. Because you're like the Mandalorian's fucking cool. He doesn't have to worry about doing any of this kind of stuff. I mean, he still has, can't take off his helmet and shit. But it's just more, stuff's more interesting than that. So in 52 Battle for Yevin, Palpatine through him and Plagius's, kind of like scheming and stuff, he's actually elected senator. And like it's, I think he's like 20, he might be like 30 years old at this point.

And so he gets elected center for like that sector in space. So he gets to go to Corrason serve on the, on the Senate. Okay. Which at that point it kind of works like certain other familiar political systems where if you're a senator, you can then run for higher up positions and everything like that. So part of their plan starts to kind of get put in motion. Yeah, okay. So in 46, Battle Before Yevin, that's when Padme is born.

And in 41, five years later, that's when Anakin Skywalker is born. Now, the thing with Anakin Skywalker is that Anakin Skywalker, we got a virgin birth situation. We got a real JC situation going on here. So there was no father. His mom wasn't hooking up with anyone. and rumor mill has it that so Darth Plages his moniker was the wise he wasn't the greatest like fighter or anything like that he was a great schemer but he was extremely wise and like studied every aspect of the force and what he really focused on was kind of like the scientific

aspect of the middiclorians and how he could manipulate them and the kind of legend is is that he got so good at it that he could manipulate them to create life and so there was this prophecy that if he could create this being essentially made from the force, he also was looking into maybe transferring himself into this, like a kind of like spirit transfer. Because there was some like shit like that the Sith got into regarding the Force. There was like magic and like sorcery shit. The occult?

Yes. The occult of the Force? Yes. A lot of that has to do with like the Sith. Basically thinking of it like that. They were like Sith cultists. Okay. They worshipped him.

So you got this virgin birth. and at the same time, are you familiar with the Mandalorian or have at least seen images of Baby Yoda? I think Sasha Banks is in it, and I know Baby Yoda. Okay, so Grobu is Baby Yoda. He's born the same year that Anakin is, but he's also one of, like, Yoda species, and they live a long time and take a long time to fucking grow.

So in the show, Baby Yoda's 50 years old, just so you know. How do you feel about Baby Yoda? Like, just as a personal... Baby Yoda is... Outside of the mouse, how do you feel about... It's the, uh, it's the,

uh, it's the, uh, it's the, um, procedure. So at certain points within Star Wars, you have to insert characters that can appeal to a lower age bracket to get them

into the next movie. You got your Ewox. So like, kids aren't going to go want to watch the Luke Skywalker chopped Darth Vader's handoff in the emperor shock with lightning. They want to see the tiny little teddy bears who were to actually like eat fucking stormtroopers, everything. So you got a cute and cuddly version of the character.

episode one you get Jar Jar Binks Oh mommy, mommy, daddy, he's hilarious No, he's not He's ruining this beautiful movie And then in other movies You get like other little Cartoonish characters And you always get like the cutesy droid

And that's supposed to be It's that kind of shit See I feel like And this is gonna just be how I would draw A parallel to it in my brain It's kind of like the John Sina theory Like John Sina was introduced As the character that he was

after being a weird rapping bad guy is like a guy to bring in children and to like... The way you describe John Cena bringing in children, I don't... I'm uncomfortable with it. No. Yeah, the hip new guy that's supposed to bring in the new generation of fans.

The younger kids can look at him like Hulk Hogan was looked at for a generation. Even though he was a bad wrestler, like it brought them into wrestling. Yes, my kid has a baby Yoda one of those plushy, squishy pillows and everything like that. It's supposed to be broader appeal. You believe that he's a crap character,

but you do respect him for being able to usher in. I don't believe it's a crap character. I'm actually somewhat interested. Just silly, because I don't know where he came from and it makes me think Yoda banged another Jedi master. Because there was a female Jedi master of Yoda species.

And it's like, did those two, was Yoda so powerful that they were like, I wonder if we, like, would you two mind like getting it together and we can see maybe if your kid becomes like, because there was a prophecy of the chosen one. And Anakin being born of the forces.

self. That's, this is going to sound super fucking nerdy, but the psychology of like Darth Vader fucking fascinates the shit out of me. Because everyone's like, he's just a bad guy and a whiny kid. It's like, let's check off all the boxes of what this kid goes through and tell me you wouldn't be just fucked up. So, kind of getting back to the timeline. So yeah, so Grogu, Baby Yoda's born. Um, at this point, Quigon is a Jedi within the Jedi council. He reminds me like, think of like the Lubowski, like the dude as a Jedi. He's more free thinking. He doesn't, he's like, maybe we're, maybe we're too strict on the rules, man. Maybe we need to, you know, open our hearts up and open our minds up. That's like just your opinion, man. Exactly. So he doesn't, he's kind of like,

when the Jedi Council tells him to do something, he's like, I'll take it under advisement type shit, like, but I'm really going to kind of do what I want to do. So he's offered to join the council and he's like, no, I'm good doing what I'm doing it. Like traveling around and stuff. And, and And he ends up picking Obi-1 as his apprentice. They get, they're not connected. Obi-1's about ready to get sent to the farm because he hasn't been fixed yet. And they get into a situation that Obi-1, like, helps him out of him, proves him. And he's like, oh, shit, he's like, you just want to be my apprentice?

And he was like, yay! No farming for me! I get a family! Yeah, exactly. That's what it is. I was stolen when I was three or six months old. I've never had one. Will you be my dad?

So at this point, too, Palpatine starts to take on an apprentice, but there's an understanding between him and Plagius that this is going to be an assassin that they're going to use. It's not going to be his apprentice or anything like that. He's just training an assassin. So he goes and he finds this kid, basically, from a witch and trains him to be an assassin,

tattoos like red and black, like tattoos. He's the guy with the horns in his head with the double-bladed lightsaber. Yeah, Darth Maul. So he basically trains Maul. And during this time again, remember, the Jedi have no idea that the Sith are out there. They think they're extinct. They haven't seen him in a thousand years. The way that Sidious is training mall is as a Jedi killer and as an assassin,

training him to fight against people with lightsabers. The way Jedi training happens now, you're training against, like, blasters and, like, droids because that's usually what armies are made out of. So that comes kind of into play. So there's a, around this time, so Quigon and Obi-1 or, master and prince they're kind of traveling all over there's a civil war on mandolore and basically there's two factions one faction is a pacifist faction that wants to steer away from the planet's like previous war history and everything and then there's another faction that's like no we want to keep

killing people and the top person in the pacifist faction is like a younger probably in her like late teens early 20s um woman name um seteen crees satin crees and Quigon and Obi-1 are sent to basically keep her on the run away from these assassins that this other faction is trying to send to kill her. Just protect her. Exactly. And during this, Obi-1 and her kind of like, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. And don't really know how far they get, but I know that they were in love.

And he basically is like, if you want me to, he's like, I'll leave the order and be with you. And she's like, no, she's like, my life's going to bleed me if I win this, you know, election. my life's going to lead me here and I can't have you doing that. So they parted ways. But I'm not quite sure. There's some rumor that there was her nephew kind of had a weird resemblance to opioid. Oh, okay. So I'm thinking at some point, they were on the run for like a year together.

And at some point it was just him and her alone. Like Quigon was like, take her and take her to this place. I'll draw off or do whatever. So I'm, come on. Probably put one in her. Could have happened. Eh? Yeah.

Maybe. Hey, not here to say yes, or. no. No, we don't judge. I just want to provide the information. I'm an information if I'm a teacher. That'll happen. So, 36 Battle Before Yevon, this girl, Asokatano is born. And

she, they find out she has force powers. She goes out, like, they kind of live in, like, a jungle, desert climate of her species. They're called it Torquit, or something. They're the ones that they have, like, headdresses, but they're, like, natural

naturally occurring. And so, So she ends up getting like out on a hunt with her mom or like gathering something and this huge like jungle cat attacks and like takes her. And she basically like pacifies it and like has it walk her back to the village on its back. So she has this weird force connection like force power. So this Jedi master comes is like, yep, you have the force. You're coming with me. So in 33, Battle 4thiaven. And now we're getting very close to essentially like the timeline for the.

Star Wars like New Hope and everything. It's like the buildup to that. This Jedi master, he's on the council, he basically comes out as like, we're due for war, pretty sure there's going to be some shit starting. He's hearing some grumblings from like some unsatisfied planets

wanting to kind of secede from the republic. We don't know, but we kind of have some thoughts. Yeah, exactly. And he, one of his kind of like force abilities was almost like precognition. Like he would get visions and stuff like that.

And he's like, listen motherfuckers, like we're due for a fight. like we haven't had an actual like fight in almost like a thousand years yeah well at any point in time when stuff like that is like peace time is only peacetime there's no standing army yeah there's no standing army or military like the the republic is supposed to be at peace if you know that your time is a time of weakness because it is peace there's other people out there that have identified that and want to use that against you and so he basically goes to

the council like motherfucker you're a warmonger ain't gonna happen so he takes it upon himself and he goes to this planet Camino who's basically just like known for their scientific like cloning achievements and he's like hey um republic sent me like we're gonna need you guys to develop like a clone army for us just a whole bunch of soldiers i'll come back and check on him every now and then but go ahead and get started on that so that's kind of set in motion palpatine basically it comes time for him and his master to enact the final stages of the grand plan. They've been kind of behind the scenes of a lot of different things.

How they first kick it off is there's this business called the Trade Federation. Imagine like a galactic scale like corporation of like shipping and like all that kind of stuff. They have their own basically like corporate army. Like it's a droid like mechanized army. And they all meet for this conference. And basically the reason they're meeting for this conference is the Republic just passed a bill that was going to go ahead and tax these free trade routes that the Trade Federation was using. It's bureaucratic

shit basically, but the Sith are so smart that they're playing this because they know this is their way into power. So the Trade Federation, all these people that are in leadership, basically meet up to decide what they're going to fucking do about the Senate passing this because they're about to lose a shit ton of money.

Well, Palpatine, he's a senator at that time and everything. He actually, with all of him, and play just as like Sith connections, everything, bombed the conference and take out the entire leadership.

Oh. And then installs basically like his puppet into a leadership role because he was the next guy in line in the Trade Federation. Not the assassin that he was training, but just another figure

that was underneath him. He sent him to do it actually. Oh, to make sure it got pulled off. So that puts him in a position where now he has control of basically like this disgruntled corporation that has power over like certain planets

and these systems and everything like that. So he's now like, okay, another piece is in play. So in 32, 32 years before Yavin, that's when Padmei becomes queen. She gets elected queen at like fucking 14 years old. Pretty early. Actually, it might have been like closer to 16. She might have been like 16, 17.

Pretty early. Still pretty fucking early. I don't know what a 16 year old is bringing to the table that someone older. However, she did start attending like these like political refinement schools when she was, I think, like, eight years old. So she'd been training for this for eight years, not sure. I do like the idea of having someone younger in office to be closer to a younger generation,

but that might be a little extreme. 16, you're still finding a lot out about yourself. Hey, who are we to say that how things should work on these planets? Yeah, right? So. We're not exactly a bright, shining example. Exactly. So kind of the first piece has kind of been put into play for basically the fall of the Republic at this point. So as part of them being pissed off about the Senate taxing their trade

routes, Palpatine is like, hey, you guys should just like totally blockade Nabu. And the trade fed and the guy in the trade federation is like, aren't you fucking from Nabu? And he's like, that's how much I think you should blockade Nabu. Really agree with this. Just do it. Like, he's like, trust me. Like, you guys will get what you want out of it. So the Jedi Council and the head guy in the Senate was called the Supreme Chancellor. he secretly sends Obi-1 Canobi and Quigone to go negotiate with the Trade Federation to be like, hey guys, quit fucking blockading Nabu.

They're not doing anything. So this is the events of like where we get into the Phantom Menace. They're sent. It's a trap. They end up going down to the planet. They find the Queen. They're like, listen, Trade Federation's going to start invading. We're going to get you the fuck out of here.

They end up getting off the planet. They have to land on the sand planet Tatooine. And while they're there, the ship gets damaged and that's why they end up having to land there. They go in to get parts and who do they meet? It's Anakin Skywalker. No way. Ten-year-old slave boy and mechanical prodigy and podrace are like what are the odds?

And so it's Quigon goes into town. He takes Jar Jar and then the queen is like, take one of my handmaidens. Well, it's not really our handmaiden. It's the queen in disguise. So her and Anakin meet. Well, you're out in the outer rim on Tatchah. and like republic credits that money doesn't spend here no need something real need those those outer rim ducats yeah so quigon's like i don't have that and tries to mind trick the guy and he's

like what are you trying to mind trick me for i'm like my species can't be mind tricked so he's like i got to find the money another way so anakin's like hey i know i'm only 10 years old but i also participate in this insanely deadly sport called pod racing that no other human has the ability to do and, you know, the big race is coming up just coincidentally since you guys are in town. Yeah, weird. You should totally, like, sponsor me, and then I'll win, and you can have all the prize money,

and you guys can bet the part that you need for your spaceship. Cool. Oh, my God, it's just falling into place. Perfect. Come to find out, he's never won a race, but his reaction time, like, Quigon's like, you can race these things? Because apparently pod racing is something that takes place on other planets.

It's like a Lee, like NASCAR. And he's like, they're fucking fast. He's like, I don't know if I've ever seen a human do it before. He's like, yeah, he's like, I can do it. So he's like, all right, yeah, I'll take that bet and makes the bet with the shop owner. Well, he goes and when he's helping,

like Anakin got a cut, he's helping clean it out. He sends it back to Obi-1. He's like, hey, can you check this blood for midi-chlorians? And he tests, and he's like, this is like over, fuck, I want to say he's like 10,000 per cell. And I think Yoda only had like five, it was double whatever. These super, super hero.

Yeah, and like, he's like, what does that mean? He's like, I don't fucking know. And so Quigon's like, holy shit, he's like, it's the chosen one. The prophecy is going true. And he had talked to, after he checked his blood, he went to talk to Anakin's mom. And he's like, so, like, who's the father? And she's like, there wasn't. She's like, I was just pregnant.

And then I had him. And he's like, you're fucking kidding me, right? So he makes a side bet with the shop owner who's also owns Anakin and his mom, their slave. He's like, I'll make you bet He's like, if the kid wins He's like, I'll wager the new racing pod That I just got that the boy ends up winning

He's like, okay, and he's like, and what if he, what if you win? He's like, I get the boy and his mother And if you win, you get the racing pod And he's like, no, he's like two slaves That's not worth it. He's like, let's let chance decide He takes out of dice And it's red all the way around with one blue mark And he's like red, his mom blew the boy

He rolls it and then fucking quagun does a little Jedi thing and makes it land on Blune. He's like, suck it. He's like, he's still not going to win. Okay, well, guess what? Lo and behold, the kid wins the race. Pretty good. Turns out pretty good.

So at this point, they were able to track where the queen got off the planet, Palpatine was, and sends Darth Mall to that planet to search for him. So as they're making their way back to the ship with the part already installed

and everything like that, as Anakin and Quigon are making their way back, fucking Darth Mall rolls up on him. And he goes to fight Quigon and that literally marks, like, think of it this way, you've never seen anybody with a red lightsaber and someone even attacked you with a lightsaber for it. As somebody who's just seen these movies, like I say,

only a few times, Darth Mall sticks out as a character that is pretty, even out there for everything that I see. This guy rolls up on a fucking hover bike and literally like front flips off, and ignites his lightsaber and is instantly trying to kill you. Yeah.

It's the first time of Sith has been seen in literally a thousand years. Bad dude. And so, like, Quigon barely gets out of there. He has to, like, jump onto the ship, has to like take off. So they take, they end up heading back to Corrissan because that's where the queen needs to get back to to basically tell the Senate, hey,

these fuckheads are blockading and now invading my planet. Is anybody going to do something? We're part of the, we're part of your club. Somebody needs to do something about this. So they end up getting back there. And Palpatine as a senator is like, I don't really think they're going to do anything. Honestly, they got a lot of shit going on.

They're probably going to try to put it into negotiations. And that's what ends up happening is he's like, is there anybody we're going to send out a committee to assess what's going on? She's like, they're there like invading my partner. You're going to send someone out to be like, oh, yeah, we see they're doing it. We only saw one guy though. I mean. Well, so Palpatine is like, the only thing you could do in this situation is you could call for a vote of no confidence in him. And so she's like, I don't want to do that.

And he's like, I don't see any other option. So she kind of goes to him again, like during a Senate hearing. And he kind of like has to, he wants to help, but like other people are like, and then the Trade Federation, their represents come out. They're like, what proof do you have of any of this stuff? So he's like, well, we have to submit to an investigation. And then she calls, she's like, voted no confidence. And everyone is like, yeah, we're actually pretty sick of this guy's shit.

He's not, he hasn't been doing much. So it goes to that point where it's like a runoff where he can still run, but then it opens the field up to other people. And lo and behold, guess who gets the nomination to run against him? Good old fucking Palpatine. And he's like, guess what? He's like, I think what's happening on Naboo is actually drumming up a lot of sympathy votes for us.

I think we have a shot at this. So it's starting to fucking come into play where he's trying to get himself into power. Dirty, dirty man. He ends up winning. Palpatine. Palpatine ends up winning and becoming Supreme Chancellor. That night, and this is still while like the whole

Naboo invasion is going on and stuff like that. The night that he wins Supreme Chancellor, him and, um, plagius are, um, like celebrating and everything like that. Like it's fucking all coming together like

mustache twirling and all this stuff. He's like, it's all coming together. So he basically gets plagius drunk as shit. And then when he passes out, he's like, all right. And then just shocks the shit out of him with force lightning and electrocutes him and just takes his time torturing him to death.

He's like, I kind of got everything I need. I know everything that I feel like I need to learn from you at this point. this is what we do when I feel like I can kill you it's time to go so ends up electrocum to death and cool fact

takes him and puts his ashes after he toasts him in a giant urn and puts that urn in his office in his like Supreme Chancellor's office Really? Oh yeah Huh Oh yeah this guy's fucked up

This guy's a total sociopath So at that point Because he was already training malls his assassin He's like fuck I already got an apprentice he's like this guy's been and so he sends when Padmae decides he's like I'm going back to Nabu

I gotta go try to fight for our people you're not going to go do shit because Palpatine's like I've been elected he's like I'm going to do everything I can to help out our people but it's going to take some time she's like we don't fucking have time yeah my shit's already getting run right now our shits on fire so

they end up going back and basically Obi-1 and Quigon go back to protect her. They go and basically rally like the gun guns that live underwater and have them bring their army in like hey, what are you going to happen

once they're done with the surface? They're going to come after you guys. We need your help. We're all fighting for the same planet. And they end up destroying like the of course, Anakin as a 10 year old pilot to ship up. He's an excellent pilot. Accidentally flies into like the hangar of like the main like trade federation ship.

blows up their main generator, flies out, the thing destroys, and all the droids go dead. And then Maul is sent back there to kill Amadala. So he ends up running into Obi-1 and Quigon and they end up engaging in a three-way lightsaber fight in like the power generator place.

And Maul kills Quigon and then like Obi-1 kind of like taps in like, again, he's also a Padawan and has never trained against to fight a guy with the lightsaber. Are you still in training? He's not a full flag. He's still a Padawan.

He's an apprentice. He's not a knight yet. Well, he basically comes, if you've never seen the fight, it's fucking... No, I have. That's what I'm picturing in my mind. When he comes out of the red laser shield and they just go at it. And they're fighting, and it's almost like an X-style pattern. Yep.

And so he ends up cutting mall in half. He falls down like a reactor or like a, some type of reactor shoot or something like that. You think he's dead. Dun, dun, dun, he's not. so at that point he goes over quigon's like you must promise me to train the boy and he's like yes master I'll train the boy he's your dying wish I'm not going to say no so he basically goes to the Jedi council and he's like listen he's like I told him I would and there yodot's like all right fuck it yeah go for it yeah so and then palpatine is basically now looking at this kid that just like

got accepted he's like oh shit this kid is now a apprentice so I know he's force sensitive and he just fucking flew a ship up and destroyed like, he's like, yeah. Well, and he was literally just, like he wasn't trained by anybody really at this point. Like, he was just. No, and that was their gripe, like he was too old because he was 10.

And they're like, we like our kids to be at least three years old before where they bring them in. Like 10 is too old. But he was already doing some things that people were very shocked by. Nothing force, like Jedi related, but he was using like his latent abilities,

like reactions and stuff like that. So yeah, he was able to do that. And so... He was raw talent. He wasn't refined. Exactly. And so Palpatine kind of serves as like a mentor for Anakin as like, because they don't suspect that this guy is like a Sith or anything.

He's just a politician. Now he's the guy in charge and everything. And so growing up like Palpatine would come by the temple to like check on Anakin and everything under kind of the guys of like he helps save like my home plan and everything. Like I'm very interested in this kid. Like what his potential and everything. He heard about the prophecy that he might. be the chosen one.

And so he was very friendly. He was just the kindly old man that didn't dittle Anakin at that point. And as he grew older and everything, he kind of found him as a mentor. So at this point, because and Palpatine's Sith name was Darth Sidious.

So I'm just going to say Sidious for now on. Okay. I think I knew that. He's the one that becomes the emperor, the one that haunts your dreams. Yeah. So he doesn't have an apprentice now, and he's like well fucking Anakin's like 10 i can't do that i can't just steal him from the jay and then be running around the senate and being like no no this is a different kid i'll probably

figure that out died his hair and just been like no totally different kid no it's me it's anacan shut you quiet you he's like ealing and gonzalez so he needs another apprentice well he ends up after quagon gets killed quagon's former um master was that count ducu guy uh-huh so after what happened to him it kind of disillusioned him with like the jedixte and so he went back to his home planet but he was still royalty and the rest of the family was gone so he got to take over and be like the count of the planet and control the planet so he was extremely wealthy

and he's just like nah I'm just going to go leave the Jedi order he ends up becoming the apprentice to Sidious used to be a Jedi comes in kind of plays on his like you know basically lets him know because he was disillusioned with the Jedi he's like they were doing things wrong let's do things this way and we'll take over and we'll run things the way we want to we can fix this so he used to

is him. So you basically have this guy that's now in charge of the Senate and the Republic. Now you have this guy who's the count and ruler of this planet. And so what they did is they started to find all these disgruntled systems that weren't happy about like representation in the Senate and everything. And they decided to basically form them and secede from the Republic. It's just building up a revolution with Duke who has the figurehead. So now the Sith are controlling both sides of this. And as this starts to escalate, more planets start to secede. And so they start to form what's called the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Confederacy, huh? Yeah. Huh. Yeah. So, and it's made up of all these different planets, you know, that just don't want to be part of the Republic anymore.

One of the planets happens to, like, have like the battle droid manufacturing, another is like a banking planet. Another is like a technological, like a whole bunch of like, they have warships and like militaries and everything. They have their own many military industrial complex going on most. Exactly. So while this is all building up and they're they haven't come out officially and said we're

seceding but they're starting to meet behind and starting to build up kind of build their own type of government and everything. So during this time Anna Kinaobi 1 are off doing, you know, going off on adventures and training and all that kind of stuff. Early on their relationship was more like father-son type thing

and then as they Annequin got a little bit older, it became like kind of brothers. Yeah. So as far as the Confederacy building, the Senate knows about this, right? No. Like, how do they not know? This is all clandestine shit. Duke, who's just going around and going to leaders of their planets and being like,

how happy are you? Maybe we should talk about maybe doing our own thing. And there's no regulatory body to watch this and be like, hey, there's something. What's to watch someone from going into another person's? I mean, they can't, there's so many plans to keep track of. They can't fucking watch this. Yeah, and I guess they really aren't on patrol for it because they don't think that it's happening.

It's peacetime. Exactly. There's a lot more ground to cover. Yeah, they're not suspecting that it's happening. So at this point, Darth Mall, who actually survived, he basically used, like, the dark side of the force to basically kind of keep himself alive and was able to, like, crawl into, like, a trash shoot

and get to this, like, trash planet and basically build himself, like, cybernetic legs. But he started going crazy because he was on this planet by himself. Yeah. It's important. Just go with me. I know there's a lot going on. Yeah, a lot, a lot going on.

Listen, this is meant to catch people up on this entire thing so they can enjoy it if they'd like to as well. I enjoy it. I mean, it's just that it's a bleep blarps and guberdus. Well, no, there's just always such fun stories about like bad guys that escape and then like rebuild themselves into something bigger and stronger and better. What all this stuff comes from, man, is you had it where it was just movies. Yeah. So the only thing, questions that would get answered were going to be answered in the next movie,

and you can only answer so much shit and not stay on old stuff and rehash it, but move on to new and exciting stuff. So, and this is crazy to say, but I think Star Wars does some of its best work when it comes to, like, its animated series. So basically, you have this entire period, and I'll actually address it in a second called the Clone Wars. It's like a three-year period. And that the movie went from Attack of the Clones to Revenge of the Sith. So basically it ended with the start of the Clone Wars the first battle. And then, sorry, the next movie, Rebend to this started with the final space battle.

All this stuff happened in between that they filled up and they brought all these characters that people liked back from these other, the prequel, the two prequels before that and explored different storylines that happened because they had to fill up like three years. I mean, like, what was happening during the three years of the Clone Wars? and they did a fucking excellent job. But it was all like the animation Clone Wars that filled this in. That's where it gets tough because animation I think is looked at as like something for children. They, weirdly enough, the movies are now more childish. Because they can address like, weirdly enough, like they, because they can do it in a palatable cartoonish way. But like there are times when, you know, I think that was one of the reasons for the clones.

They're all, they all look the same. It kind of dehumanize them and everything. so when you're seeing all these clones getting killed you're just like oh they're clones they're just like they were built and everything but like if you think about the psychology of it the whole clone wars establishes that these guys are like

independent thinkers yeah they're loyal and everything but they develop their own personalities and then you start to think like well shit what happened to like all of these clones because they were they have a half life so by the time they're 40 they're going to look 80 but they were able to start fighting at 10 years old

when they would look like they were 20 so but in it in it they do address it in a couple of the shows like they just have all these clones like well we don't really need them anymore so they just basically like force them retire and send them to do like remedial jobs until they die like the empire's like also it's costing us money to get these clones so we can just have conscripts and people that are willing to fight for us and don't have to worry about it but there's sort of callbacks in that to the animated clone wars in the in the movies yeah there's not callbacks this is all the stuff that happens during the Clone Wars. That's why I'm saying. They handle these topics of like what happens to these guys. And then you get to follow certain clones that develop different

personalities. And I'll get to some points on it here and just because we're just about there at that point. So when they're working on building the clones, the reason they all look the same is Count Duku, his

Sith name is Darth Tyrannis. I'll just call him Count Duku because it's easier for me remember. So somehow Sidious and Duku, they plan, Duku knows that the Jedi master that went to the clone to develop the army. He finds out about that because they were close friends. He mentions it. So him and Cidius come with the plan. He's like,

kill that guy, poses him and will be able to take over the clone army. And so the Jedi have no idea about this because the master never told them. They send him out on a mission and they Cidius and Duku hire an assassin to kill him and he ends up getting or they hire I think they hire like a gang to kill him

and when when he dies Duku basically then resumes communication with these people developing the clone army and so he's developing it under the guise of being this Jedi master but he can manipulate it however they want and so they pick the template

for the clone so they pick this bounty hunter and he's supposed to be just very good physically and everything like that. He might have been a Mandalorian because he wears Mandaloran armor. It's Boba Fett's dad. Oh, okay. Jingo Fet. Yeah. Okay. So they pick him and then what they do is when they're developing these clones,

when they're grown, they put inhibitor chips in their head to where they're able to issue certain commands that have to immediately be followed. And that'll come into play here in this middle a little bit. So again, it's all part of the grand plan. It's like so close to coming together. So Hans Solo was also born around this time. And like we kind of discussed, as Anakin trains to get older, gets older and his back on Corrassant, like Palpatine will come to see him and everything. And at this point, too,

I want to say that Padme, she actually becomes a senator. So she moves to Corosant too. So other pieces are coming together if you know what I'm saying. So the, finally in 24, before Battle of Yevin, that's when the Confederacy of independent systems comes out and's like, hey guys, like, by the way, a whole bunch of us for fucking leaving. We're here. Yep. We're here. And get used to it. So because of this, the Senate kind of panics is like, what the fuck's going to happen?

It's getting right to the end of Palpatine's term, coincidentally. So they're like, we can't deal with the transition of power right now. Like, you have, this is a crisis. Yeah, a lot of shit going on. it. So they're like, we need, we're going to extend your term. We need you to stay in power. And he's like, well, he's like, well, if you all insist, I'll all stay in power. I appreciate it. So he starts to kind of, he figures that they're starting to build up an army, that they need to, the republic needs to have a standing army as well. So he basically has this military creation bill on the floor of

the Senate. Well, the senator from his home planet is Padme. Yeah. And she's against it. She's like, it's not going to help to just us create an army. And then, get into a fucking war. So he has Duku have the leadership of the Confederacy, hire an assassin under orders from Palpatine to kill her. So it's going to look like the Confederacy did it when really it's because she opposes the bill. He can try to push this bill through. Yeah. So the assassination attempts end up, both of them

end up failing. And after the first one, they assign Obi-Wan and Anakin to be like her protection. protection. And Anakin's like, oh my God. He's like, I've been having wet dreams about her since I was able to. Yeah. Yes. Yes. Yes now. And so they end up, he's 19 at this time. She's 24. Obi-1 ends up sending them. Oh, yeah, because she was super young as the queen. That's right. Yeah. So Obi-1 is like, hey, take her, go back to Tatween, hide out, everything, go to her family estate. I'm going to try to track down this assassin. through various, you know, connections. Obi-1 is like, okay, I can tell that the assassination tool came from this planet called Camino. That's where the cloners are. So he ends up going and visiting, and they're like, and you are? And he's like, I'm Jedi.

He wasn't a master at that point. He's like, I'm Jedi Knight, Obi-Wan Kenobi. She's like, are you here to check on the army? And he's like, yes, I'm here to check on the army. And they're like, okay, Jedi master, and the guy's name was Cifo Diaz. And she's like, or do you work with him? And he's like, he died like 10 years ago. And she's like, oh, my.

Well, I'm sure he would have liked the army we created for you guys. And basically tours him around the facility. And like the soldiers at this point are like ready to fucking go. They've been training this entire time. They've got like all the armors made. They've got him running drills and all this kind of stuff. And they explained the whole process. And the whole time movie one is like in his head.

He's like, what the fuck is going on? But he's half in just acting. Yeah, he stumbled upon to something that... Yeah. And so he ends up finding the assassin that tried to take out, and it's the clone, the Django Fet guy. He's working for Duku. So he ends up, like, chasing him off Camino

and getting, like, a tracking device on his ship, and he follows him to this planet called Giannosis. And this is where, like, the Confederacy of Independent System, all of them are having this big summit. He ends up going down there and gets captured, unfortunately Anakin then finds out that Obi-1's there

and then he gets captured him and Padmay get captured Anakin and Padma yes but not before Pat before this happens Anakin has like a vision of his mother dying and so he's like

I gotta go check he hasn't been able to check on his mom this entire time she was still in slavery because she didn't get freed during the pod race correct but I mean not even at the point where he went back to the planet to be like Hey, I know you're still enslaved, but how are you doing it? It's me, your son. Like, all family connection is cut off when you become a Jedi.

You can't have anything like that. So that's kind of what I'm talking about. Part of like the whole thing about the psychology of him is like, you took a 10-year-old boy, not an normal 10-year-old boy, a 10-year-old boy who only had his mother. And was enslaved. And was a slave. And now you took him away from not, the enslaved didn't fine,

but the only thing he knew. And not only that, you have people like whispers around him being like, oh yeah that's by the way that's the Jedi Jesus that's the Messiah that's the chosen one that's supposed to bring the legend is he'll bring balance to the force and you're like I'm fucking 10 there's a lot to take on and so growing up he does get

arrogant and his skills and he kind of um so he takes a lot of his skills like as very serious so he has this vision he's like I gotta go check on my mother she I think she's dying and so Padamay's like yeah let's fucking go so they head back for his home planet Tatooine

and find out from the guy that owned him as a slave that he sold her to this farmer and the farmer freed her and married her. And so he goes out to find this guy and he is there and then he has a son and daughter, but it's from the previous marriage. So it's not Anakin's brother or sister. And he's like, like three days ago, she was out like working and a bunch of these, they're called Tuscan Raiders. They're native to, it's basically like a, they also call him sand people. I don't know if remember that from the first one? A little bit.

Okay. So basically they're like a tribe that lives out in the desert and they do kidnap and kill people and stuff like that. They're raiders. So he's like, they took her literally just like a few days ago. And he's like, which fucking direction did they go and he points? And he's like, all right.

He jumps on a speeder bike and he heads out. And he's like Padmay, fucking stay here. Yeah. Keep an eye on this. Yeah. Also, Anakin did build C3 P.O. when he was like 10 years old. And then Padmei had R2D2, and so that's how those two are. Oh, really?

And then they basically, and then as he becomes a Jedi, they switch because a Jedi can use the little, they call astromechroids because they can fit in their starships. And then he was like, Padman, you take C3PO because she could serve as like a translator for the senator and all that shit. So they basically swapped him. Was this in the movies? Yeah. So, like, he shows her C3PO when he's like 10 years old before he gets freed.

He's like, I built this for mom so it could help her around the house. and R2D2 was the the droid that was on Padma's original ship. Huh, okay. So they've been like the only characters that have been throughout the entire, like the same consistent characters throughout all of the movies and shit.

I think I read too that the guy that plays C3PO maybe has been in like every one Anthony Daniels or Tony, yeah. Movies, but he's in one of them is like a different character. Yeah, because you never see him so you could just be putting makeup.

Yeah, okay. So he ends up tracking this these Raiders down and basically is able to like sneak in and catch his mom for like two minutes while she's still alive before she ends up like she's been tortured and everything

and he's like I'm here mom and she's like I finally got to see you again and then she literally passes away and he's like and he's a fucking damaged kid who just basically watched his mom die in his arms so of course the natural reaction is he slaughters the entire village

not and not just the men, but the women and the children too. So he comes back and he actually like tells this, he comes back with her body. They bury it. And as he's hanging out there on like his stepdad's like homestead and everything like that, that's the one

that Luke originally like then grows up on. He gets raised by the son and his girlfriend. Okay. The one that That's why they... That's why they took in Luke.

That's why they took in Luke. Okay. It's because essentially, like, it was in a weird way. It was the dad's or the stepdad's grandson or something like that. Step-grandson. I don't know. No, it does... Yeah.

That clears up. That's the connection. Okay. So, and he basically, like, Padman... He's visibly upset. Pat... He's like, what's wrong? He's like, I killed him all.

And she's like, sees me and he's like, I killed him. The women and the children, too. And then she's like, it's okay. She's like, they... killed your mom and I'm sure they were savages. Like, come over here. So they end up finding out that Obi-1 gets captured. They're like, hey, let's go

save him. So they go to that planet too. They get themselves captured. And Duku's like, all right, well, I guess what we're going to have to do is we're you know, came on to this planet where you don't have any rights or anything like that. So we're going to sacrifice you, a la Roman call it as a seam style, by

cheney to these posts and letting out these wild animals to kill you. So they let them out. Padme like climbs up her pillar. The Jedi end up showing up. They find out about this. A Jedi strike team shows up. And then Yoda had gone back to,

because I think either Anakin sent back a transmission. It's like, hey, we're going to save, hey, we're going to save Obi-1. Catch up as quick as you guys can. Yoda goes to get all the clones. And then the other dude, Sam Jackson, Mace Window, he's like, we'll just go straight to Genosis and try to keep these guys from getting killed.

So the first battle of Genosis happens. and this is where they actually kind of find out that Duku is actually a Sith. They corner him, Obi-Wan and Anakin kind of corner him in this hangar as he's about to escape the planet. They have a lightsaber duel. He ignites his, it's red. He cuts off Anakin's hand. And then Yoda shows up.

Yota's like, oh, hey, and he's like my former Padawan, because he trained Duku. They have a fight. Duku knows he can't beat him. So he tries to, like, bring down the ceiling. on Obi-One and Anakin, so Yoda has to stop fighting and, like, save him, and then he bugs out in his ship. I feel like I've seen that one, too. Just trying to play it back in my head and kind of see some of the highlights.

I'm pretty sure I see that. It's the end of attack of the clones. I remember the hand being cut off pretty much. So after that, I think Obi-1 has made master, Anakin has made a knight. At this point, the war is on. So now you have the clone wars, the Republic and all the clone troopers. so all of the Jedi are made generals. So now part of the grand plan,

Sidious's plan, is now not only have you taken the Jedi and spread them out all of their power, but now you're going to grind them down and start killing them off because they're going to die during the fighting. So as the Clone Wars happened, there's about three years of shit going on. And when Obi-1 gets made a master

and Anakin gets made a knight, Anakin is still really just like brash and arrogant and everything and you know just like how are we going to calm this fucking kid down like this guy is supposed to be the chosen one we need to fucking put like get him to act responsible and he was only got one hand

well he gets the cybernit they always have robot hands to fucking replace there's no shortage of robotic hands in this in this galaxy so they're like well fuck it let's give him an apprentice so instead of him getting to pick one everything like that he's out at you know on a planet

at fighting a battle with his, you know, his clone division or whatever, and this Padawan shows up. And I mentioned Asoka Tano before. And so they send him Asoka. Like, they don't know each other at all. And they're like, okay, are you here? She's like, I'm the new Padawan. And so Obi-Wan's like, I didn't ask for a new one, but I guess it's time for me to do one. She's like, actually, I'm assigned to Skywalker.

And he's like, no, fuck that. He's like, I don't want one of these. And then, like, Master Yoda said that you would say that and that I'm to be very insistent that I'm your Padawan. So over the course of the Clone Wars, basically the relationship between Obi-1 and Anakin, you know, you see kind of that bond deepening and everything like that

as they become peers now. Now it's not a man. He still calls him master because that's his rank and it was actually his master, but it's more of a brother relationship and more of a peer relationship because Anakin's skills are, you know, advancing. He's also starting to try to train Asoka

and he's kind of training the way that he feels, is sufficient. He's kind of training her to think outside the box, be more independent and everything. More of a sithy. Not even in that sense. Just the way that, like almost a quigon type way. Okay. Like almost more of a free thinking. Like sometimes, but Anakin himself is sometimes not afraid to kind of like skirt the rules to win fights. And he starts to get more of that deeper. And he's getting fucking, he's married. Okay. So not only is he secretly married now to Padme.

he's having to fight this war and he doesn't get to go see his wife. So any time spent out, he's like, fuck it. He's like, I already have to hide this, but now I can't even hide it and see my wife at the same time. So as the war goes on, he starts to get more brutal about it. He's not going to, you know, give enemies the chance for, like, mercy. He'll chop off an arm if it means getting information, like stuff the Jedi really aren't supposed to do. But he's never really like training Asoka to do that. He's more of just being like, be a free thinker.

So I got to crack a few eggs. That doesn't mean you do. Yeah, exactly. And it does kind of like settle him down a little bit for more responsibility because it's not so much that he had to slow down because he's like, now, I'm responsible for this life now. So I have to make sure this person stays alive. And then they start to develop a bond and everything like that. And during the war, and I think it was probably about two years into it, there was a bomb. at the Jedi Temple

and she got framed for it that she was like a separatist spy and there was evidence like framing her for it she ends up escaping from custody to prove her innocence and like Anakin's trying to chase her down it's a lot of like it's very Tommy Lee Jones

Harrison Fordish yeah in the fugitive and she's like I'm innocent I didn't do it and he's like come back with me and we'll figure this thing out and but like clones were coming up on him she's like you have to trust me on this and she ends up finding out through him helping like two different ways. He's investigating the Jedi Temple and all this stuff and she's trying to hunt down clues on her own. They find out it was another Padawan that was like sick of the war and trying to like,

I don't know what the result of what she was trying to accomplish was to show that it was meaningless or something. Well, when Asoka was accused, the Jedi Council was basically like, okay, well, you're going to have to go to jail until they figure this thing out. like evidence is pointing to you. And Anakin's like, no, you guys are just like selling her out. So when her innocence came up and everything, the Jedi Council was like, hey, you know, you're totally welcome back in. And she's like, no, no, no, no, no. You guys just put me in jail.

Yeah, you guys didn't have my fucking back. And she's like, they're like, well, you know, the evidence was against you and everything. She's like, he was the only one that had my back. And then Anakin is pissed off of them being like, yeah, you guys didn't have her back. And she's like, I can't do this anymore. And so she walks away from the. order and he's like do you know how many times i've wanted to do this and she because she's so close to him and has been around him so much and has seen him around his wife but not like you know husband

wife way he put two and she's like he's like believe me more than anyone like i've wanted to leave this and she goes i know you have and she's like but i can't do this and so she walks away so that right there like puts a huge fracture between him and like the jet order is like i'm i lose people in my life. Like I lost my mom. And now I'm losing essentially like what amounted to like my sister. Yeah. And it's because of you guys. So he's still going and fighting everything. But like Cidius during their meetings starts to be more of like his confidant. So like stuff that he can't gripe to Obi-1 about about the Jedi order. He goes to Cidius about and Cidius will be like, yeah, I think you do have reason. And he's like, pump it up. He's like, you know you're going to be the greatest Jedi that ever lived.

He'll be, he's like, you're going to be more powerful than Master Yoda. Just a fucking toxic relationship. Just honey-dicken the shit out of him. And kind of during some highlights of the Clone Wars and everything, at one point, Darth Mall is able to come back and starts running like when he was working for Sidious and being trained as an assassin, he made a lot of underworld connections to get information. He's able to come back and basically establish like a crime syndicate. And one of the things he does is he partners up with those guys during the Mandalorian Civil War.

the ones that wanted to maintain like the warlike society and is like I can get you mandelor like let's go in and take it over so he ends up taking it over killing the head guy from that movement and then taking over because it's a society where like only the strong surviving if you kill the leader you get to be the leader takes over and also takes over mandolore and who's ruling at that time is that sateen crees and she gets taken prisoner okay yeah and and and and and and and and and and and and And a message gets sent out to the Jedi. Mandelor is a neutral system. They don't take sides on the separatists and they didn't cite. So the Republic isn't going to go help them. Yeah. So the message gets then like, we can't do anything. And Obi-One's like, well, the fuck we can.

So he goes and he tells Anakin, he's like, hey, I need to borrow your ship. And he basically does like an off-the-book's mission to go try to save her. He ends up getting down to her, but he ends up getting captured and brought it like the throne room where Darth Mall is and Darth Mall makes him watch as he kills her right in front of him. And then basically allows, and then

allows him to like hold her and like her last moments and she's like, I just wanted you to know. I've always loved you. So he basically takes the one thing that he knows that like Knobe had loved and basically takes it away as like revenge. So yeah, after the last duel that him and Kanobe had with Anakin

and everybody and he lost the bottom half of his body. He's probably got a little bit of an ax to grind. Well, that was the one when he was with Quigon early, early on. Yeah. It was Duke who was the one with Anakin. He was basically Mall's replacement. Doreh, Mal knew he had some experience. He knew, yeah, after he'd come back, he knew that his spot

had been taken, everything like that. In fact, after while he was ruling Mandelor, Sidious was like, is that? And had a feeling, and went to Mandelor and basically was like, there can't be three. He's like, your time

over. He's like, I already took a new prentice and fought him and like takes him prisoner. Huh. So it's kind of getting to the tail end of the clone wars and it's still kind of a stalemate. And the Jedi from Sidious's point of view have kind of been sufficiently ground down. So at this point, he's also been awarded emergency powers to essentially just do whatever he needs to do to win this war. and the person that voted to get him those powers was fucking Jar Jar. Really? Yes. Padmey was gone doing so.

I think she was off with she was off with Anakin or something like that and he had filled in for her and Palpatina Triton had been like if only Padmae was here she would she would vote for this and so he was like well shit I'll fucking do it. So what ends up happening

and what kind of is the the turning point of everything is Anakin has been having these visions of his wife dying in childbirth. Just like he had the ones of his mother. Yes. And so there's a mission that's going to happen on Mandelor that kind of takes place. Asoka had left the order, but she'd almost kind of been working like, not as a mercenary, but she'd been going around kind of helping where she could, but not as like a Jedi.

Yeah. She had somehow met up with the sister of Satine Kreeze who wanted to kind of retake Mandelor and kick him all out of there because he was essentially ruling their people. Just murdered her sister. Exactly. And so she worked with Assoca and she's like, hey, if we can get some republic help, we can probably take him out right now. So she contacted Anakin and was like, hey, I need to talk to you. And he's like, I haven't seen you like in at least a year. he's like, how are you doing?

She's like, there'll be time to catch up later. So, she's like, we need to get to Mandelaar to stop this. And so Obi-1 is there. And they get a call that the separatist army has invaded Corrassant and is trying to kidnap the chancellor. And he's like, we have to go. And she's like, leave me with some of your guys, like your troops. And I'll handle this thing on Mandelaar, and you go back. And he's like, okay, he's like, take my personal.

clone battalion and everything. I still got some shit to do on Mandelor. You go back and fight yours. Yeah, exactly. And go save the fucking chancellor. Apparently, there's a whole planet of Jedi down there in the fucking Jedi temple, but they need to call the two Jedi

back from like the furthest point to go and handle this. So they go their separate ways and it's like, we'll catch up when we get back. Well, what ends up happening is Obi-1 and them come in, they end up capturing, they end up getting back the chancellor. Anakin kills

Duku on the ship and they make it back down to the planet they find out where the general is that's still leading the federation and Palpatine they're all having a conversation because it involved the Senate at the end of the war like we found out the guy's name is General

Grievous, the good naming they're like we found out he's on this planet and so they're all having a meeting in the pal and they're like we need to send like a senior Jedi somewhere that can handle this and Palpatine is like why don't we send Canobi? He's like Kenobi's a senior genital.

He's like, that's a good choice. We'll send Kenobi. So they send him off planet. And because Anakin has been having these like premonitions about like his wife dying and everything, there's, um, he's talked to Palpatine and be like, I've been having nightmares about and everything. So he's picking up on this. He's like, come, come meet me this night at the opera.

Palpatine knows about him in Padamay. I'm pretty sure he can sense it. Okay. And I'm pretty sure he's confided in him a little bit. And, and now he's. he fucking has the perfect way and to convert him over and have him turn on the Jedi.

So they meet together and they're sitting there at like this theater show and Palpatians is like, have you ever heard of the legend of Darth Plagius, the Wise? And he's like, no. And he's like, legend has it that he was so powerful

that he could actually influence the midi-chlorians to like save people from dying. And he's like, can you learn this power? And Palpatine's like, not from a Jedi. And that's kind of the end of their conversation. And then he actually goes to talk to Palpatine again and finds out, he's like, he's like, how did you have knowledge of that? And he's like, my former mentor taught me all about the dark side of the force.

And Anakin's kind of putting it all together and draws his lightsaber. And he's like, it's you. And he's like, you know me. He's like, this is the person that I am and everything like that. He's like, you've been behind all of this. And he's like, listen. He's like, I'm not going to lie to you. He's like, if we're being serious right now, he's like,

I have the knowledge to save your wife. He's like, and I'm the only one that has that. And so he's like, do you want to kill me? He's like, I would very much like to you right now. And he's like, I know you would. And he just, and he leaves him. And he goes back to the Jedi Council and he goes and talks to Mace Windo. And he's like, hey, he's like, I have reason to believe that the Sith Lord is,

the guy running our shit is, is Chancellor Palpatine. And he's like, okay. He's like, let's go there right now. He's like, listen, he's like, you're too close to this shit. I know he's your buddy. Let me take a team. Let me go bring him and apprehend him. If it's true, you'll have gave my full trust.

I'll make you a fucking master. Whatever. So they go to try to arrest Palpatine and like, Anakin is kind of sitting there in the temple. And about halfway through it, he's like, fuck it, I got to go intervene or help. Like, what if they kill him and his secrets lost? and then my wife's going to end up dying. So he goes back and by this point, it's just Mace Windu and Palpatine

having this light silver duel in his office. And when Anakin rolls in there, Mace Windu has him disarmed and is getting ready to kill him. And Anakin's like, let's bring him in for trial. And he's like, he's the fucking chancellor. Like, they're not going to believe he's the Sith Lord or anything. He's too dangerous to be kept alive.

And he tries to, and this is, he looks normal. Yeah. This is how he gets the fucked up face. Remember, he goes to, like, like, forced lightning against base window, and he reflects it with his lightsaber. Yes, okay. And, like, he basically melts his own fucking face.

And then afterward, he's like, eh, that's when he talks like this. So he's basically like, Anakin, he's like, if I die, he's like, all the secrets go with me. And Mace Windo's about to kill him. Anakin is like, nope, chops off Mace Windus hand,

and then Palpatine throws him out the fucking window. And at that point, Anakin's like, well, fuck, I'm kind of screwed now. What am I going to do? And he's like, well, he's like, you can't go back to the Jedi. I'm going to help you save your wife. He's like, so you're going to be a Sith now? And he's like, I guess I'm going to be a fucking Sith now.

Yeah, it's a quick split second choice that has determined. It is, but all of it is based on trying to save his wife. Like his last premonition about his mom dying came true. He has no reason not to think. And I'm not justifying it. It's a fictional fucking. character, but at the same time, it's like, this guy who's had his trust, he found out is this person he thought he wasn't, but at the same time he's offering him a means to basically save the one thing. And he knows his wife is pregnant at this point, too. So he's like, now I'm trying to save my wife and my unborn children. Well, and he knows he's got it in him already. He knows there's some darkness in him as far as like him wiping out that entire village. And he told Palpatine about that too. He's like, remember what you told me about your mother. and the sand people.

He's like, oh yeah, I did tell you about that shit, didn't I? He's got it in him. So he's like, here's the plan. He's like, you're going to go to the Jedi temple and just fucking wholesale slaughter everybody there. He's like, well, what are you going to do? He's like, I got this. So he basically makes an announcement to all of the clones

and the commanders, and he goes, execute Order 66. It was a pre-programmed in that chip that basically, Order 66 was turn on your Jedi commander is their traitor to the Republic and kill them. So all at once throughout the galaxy, all of the Jedi that were working with his clones, the clones turn on them and gun them down or shoot them down on their ships.

Obi-1 ends up surviving. Yoda ends up surviving. Asoka is on a ship full of clones. And because of the training she had with Anakin about deflecting like blaster fire, he made her train relentlessly. She was able to hold them all off. Oh, wow.

Take one of the clones who had been Anakin's right hand man. His name was Captain Rex, and basically knock him out. They'd become, like, best friends. Knock him out and get him into, like, the medical bay. She removes the ship, and when he comes to, he's like, I remember everything that happened. I'm so sorry that that happened. He's like, all of us are programmed.

You guys are traitors. Like, we're all programmed to kill you. And they fight their way through the ship and end up getting, they try to, they're so determined to kill her. They put the ship on a collision course with another planet. Oh, wow. And they're all going to die to take her out. And they're trying to prevent her from getting to an escape ship. Her and Rex end up escaping.

So at this point, the only, like, a few Jedi did end up escaping or disappearing. Like, some masters sacrifice themselves to save their Padawans. The main ones you find out about are Obi-Wan and Yoda. They make their way back to the Jedi temple because there's a beacon going out to Jedi. Like, all Jedi return to Coruscant, basically, to get killed. and when they get back, they basically see all the Jedi dead, a bunch of clone troopers dead.

They see Jedi killed by a lightsaber, find a bunch of dead kids, like the younglings and everything, and they go into the security station to find out what happened. They pull it up, and it shows footage of Anakin marching on the temple.

Massacring a raiding. Jedi, the younglings, all these clone troopers gunning them all down, and then they see where Sidious had come to the temple and was talking to Anakin is like a ray, the rise lord vater and so anakin and or not ankin obi won and yoder like okay here's the fucking deal like we got to end this now yodot is like all go take on sidious he's like you got

to go take on anakin and ober one's like you want me to go fucking kill my brother he's like no he's like send me against cities he's like look dude he's like you can't fucking stand up to he's gonna smoke you like he smokes everybody else yeah exactly he's like you need to go handle your fucking protege. Like handle that how you need to handle that. So he goes to Padman, he's like, do you know what your fucking husband is? At this point, he kind of knows,

he even alludes to and he's like, I never mentioned anything because out of all the things in life, you seem to have made Anakin genuinely happy. And I didn't want to take that away from him. He's like, but I knew what was going on. And he's like, it's Anakin's child, isn't it? She's like, yeah.

And he's like, after, and this is after he's basically, like, there's footage of him killing these kids, he's turned to the dark side. Palpatine is the Sith Lord and everything, and she's like, you're basically just telling me my husband is a psycho and everything. She's like, I don't believe you. So she gets on the horn with him and it's like, where are you at? And he's like, hey, I've been sent over to this planet.

Chancellor Palpatine sent me over here to kill off all of the Confederacy of independent system leaders because he told them where to go hide. So he's like, by the way, Darth Vader, go kill off all of the leaders and just end the war. We're good now. And so she's like,

I'm on this planet. And Obi-1 had been hiding out and snuck onto her ship and she goes to meet with Anakin. They get there. She gets off the ship. And this is the lava planet. Gets off the ship.

And she's like, what the fuck's going on? She's like, oh, yeah, I just slaughtered all the leaders of the Confederacy of the Independent System. was like, we're good to go. And she's like, Obi-1 told me that, like,

you turn to the dark side and you killed a bunch of younglings, and he's like, I don't want to talk about Obi-Wan. And she's like, what do you, like, she's like, I,

he's like, I can rule the galaxy. Like, I can overthrow the emperor. Me and you can rule the galaxy together. And she's like, the fuck are you talking about crazy? Not the plan. Yeah, like, this is not what we're doing here.

And she's like, Obi-1 was right. And he's like, bitch, quit mentioning Obi-Wan. And then all of a sudden, And Obi-Wan literally like appears behind her and is like, I was hiding on your ship. And he's like, so you brought him here to kill me? So he forced chokes her and chokes her into consciousness. And then basically is like, now we have to fight.

So him and Obi-Wan have this huge duel. And at the end of it, the infamous high ground, I have the high ground. Obi-1 overestimates his powers. Like he has his entire life. Yeah. Obi-1 had trained him, had trained with him the entire time. And so like, Obi-1, a lot of people, People are like, well, how did Anakin was so powerful?

How did? So there were several forms of like lightsaber combat. Some were like the simplest form. One of them was like the most defensively proficient form. Anakin had a really aggressive form. And so Obi-1 was like the master of this defensive form where basically he could defend himself so long. You would tire yourself out and make a mistake and then he would be able to go ahead and win. So he's fighting Anakin and, I mean, barely surviving against him the entire time.

and finally it comes to the point where Anakin over estimates it and tries to flip over him and Obi-1 takes both of his legs off below the knees and his non-mechanical arm off and he slides down the bank right next to this lava flow and he's like what the fuck dude he's like you're supposed to be the chosen one he's like you weren't supposed to join the Sith

you were supposed to destroy him on all this and Anakin's like fuck you I hate you and then he catches on fire and Anakin or Obi-one's basically watching him like Bernie's like I'm getting out of here and goes and picks up his lightsaber and he's like, I'm taking this though. Yep. Yep.

I got your crystal. I got your thing, bitch. And leaves the planet. And because he also has to go save Padmei, who's unconscious, pregnant. He's like, taking your shit, I'm leaving. So he goes and he ends up meeting up with like another senator who was like against Sidious and everything.

And Padmey has the twins, Luke and Leah. And afterwards, she ends up dying. So Yoda's there, this guy named Bail Organa, who is the senator from Alderon. And I mentioned Alderon earlier. Yeah. Okay. So they're like, we need to separate these kids and keep an eye on them. These could be the last, you know, they were born to the chosen one and everything.

They could be our hope to restore the Jedi. We should separate them. And Organ is like, me and my wife have been trying to have, we'd love to have a little girl. We'll adopt her. She basically, she becomes a princess at that point because he's the ruler of all. mother on. And then Obi-1 is like, I guess I'm taking the boy to the desert to live with his freaking water

farmer family. And he's like, and all stay in the desert and keep an eye on him. So he ends up Is that just to keep an eye on him or do you, well, I guess he would have thought that Anakin was dead though. He did, I think, believe that Anakin was dead.

Because last time he saw him, he looked like a charcoal brichette. Okay, so it wouldn't be that he was protecting Anakin from, or protecting Luke from maybe Anakin coming back to get him? Visa be a Harry Potter type. The other thing too is, you know, if Sidious went looking or had a suspicion that Padmae was pregnant or something like that, because they could

tell she was pregnant, they just didn't know who it was from. Well, Sidious did and would know that if Anna King was then, maybe those kids would make good apprentices if they came from that line. So, yeah, he basically takes him back to hide him. And you then have this period where the empire is able to build its strength.

The empire or the emperor, he gets basically, he's in the Senate and he's like well now the war is over let's go ahead and create the first galactic empire and I'll be the emperor and everyone's like yay I guess he ends up finding Anakin who looks like a fucking marshmallow

that's been left in the fire and is able to like save him but basically like he has to live inside a life support machine and Sidious is pissed because he's like this was supposed to be the most powerful Jedi

he had fought against Yoda and Yoda had it to end up, like, retreating and everything. And so, he's like, this guy is supposed to be more powerful than Yoda. And he's like,

without, like, his arm and everything, he couldn't use force lightning. He would short out, like, the electronics and everything. Oh, okay. And again, like, think of it from, like,

a biological perspective. If you're taking off an arm and below your legs, you got less mass, less blood cells, your midichlorian count goes way down. You know,

it's proficient. So he's like, great, now I basically just have a cyborg that I'm going to have to just use as, like, an enforcer and an assassin.

And then Anakin, basically, after he gets put into the Darth Vader suit, finds out his wife is dead. He had a hand in it. His kids are dead and everything. And now he's like, this is the only meaning that I have in life. So he basically just resigns himself to being just like a lap dog.

But a scary one that everybody is terrified of. Yeah, it's the only purpose he has. So that's where you get, essentially, the building of the death star occurs early on. during this time. It actually even started like kind of during the Clone Wars. The senator was like,

hey, I just found these plans for a super weapon, and they were stolen by Duku from the enemy. He's like, maybe we should build this thing, and they start building the Death Star. And Luke and Leah both growing up completely different lives. Leah is a princess and starts getting into politics. They still keep a Senate under the guise of like, yeah, the people still have representation, because if they take that away, there's more of a chance for a rebellion.

Yeah, there's chaos. Exactly, but at the same time, there is a rebellion that's already kind of brewing. And that's where you get into like the original trilogy. The Death Star ends up being designed and the guy that ends up designing the super laser that can destroy a planet doesn't even know what he's building. He thinks he's building like clean energy devices. So after he finds out what they're going to use it for, they basically kidnap him and threaten. They kill his wife and then his daughter ends up escaping. and they force him like basically to work as a slave to complete this thing

and basically tell him like we're just going to keep killing people until you help us so you're going to be responsible for it so he feels like he has to he's the guy that actually designs the weakness in the death star so when they steal the plans it's actually his daughter that they get to steal the plans they find out about this and that leads right into a new hope where Luke ends up, you know, getting into the story and everything. And because of that, they have the plans. And that's why Luke is able to pilot the X-wing and destroy the Death Star,

because the guy designed a shaft that would lead all the way to the reactor to destroy it. The other reason is, is the Death Star is so big. They never anticipated being attacked by, like, basically it's like an elephant getting attacked by Nats. It was never going to be a danger. So, like, that's why their defenses were able to allow these smaller ships to get in. So Luke ends up After the death store gets destroyed

Darth Vader basically puts out a bounty To find out who this pilot is And finds out this pilot's last name is Skywalker Like you don't even change the fucking name And he's like Huh Odd And so he finds out basically

Oh shit Because he showed up to Padma's funeral And they made her still look pregnant Really? Yes Huh So that way Because they figured that he would at least

watch it or something like that if he was still alive and to make it look like she like because then if she didn't look pregnant they're like well did they have the baby like what happened so they end up doing that to keep the children hidden and he finds out that basically

oh shit I have my kids fucking 18 and 19 now so he goes to try and he's like if I can find my kid and turn him then we can overthrow the emperor because I'm not strong enough to do it myself back in power baby exactly and so Luke trains, you know, with Obi-1 for a little bit until he sacrifices himself before the

Death Star is destroyed. He then goes and finds Yoda, trains with Yoda a little bit, has the confrontation with Darth Vader on Cloud City where he gets his hand chopped off, loses what was Anakin's lightsaber that Obi-1 had given to him. And then in between an Empire Strikes, Empire Strikes back and Return the Jedi, he goes back to his home world and goes to Obi-1's house and finds all of his journals and finds out instructions on how to create a new lightsaber. And then he ends up building one that looks... Oh yeah, because there's no

no Jedi anymore. So he has to peace all of this. Okay. The Sith of like shut down the planet and they get their crystals and everything. So he builds one that almost looks like Obi-Wi-1s because he's building off his instructions. Except his is green.

Because of his crystal. Because of the crystal. And also, fun fact, they made it green because when they were shooting the scene in the desert. A blue lightsaber kept blending into the blue sky in the shots, and so that's how the green lightsabers came into being. That was the first instance of a green lightsaber. Really? Yeah, and then that just became part of it. That's awesome. So he ends up, you know, thinking I'm a full-fledged Jedi. The second Death Star ends up getting built. The Emperor is coming himself to oversee it. And so the rebellion is like, we have one chance to try to take this

thing out. We can take out the Emperor, take out the Death Star. And it ends up being a trap that the Emperor lays and then gets reverse trapped to where the good guys end up still winning. And during kind of the final duel, you have the space battle that's happening and you have Luke fighting

against his father in front of the emperor and everything like that. He's able to essentially defeat Darth Vader chops off his hand but then Luke looks down and sees his mechanical hand and he's like, I'm following the same fucking steps as my old man. He's like, I'm getting ready to kill this guy, the emperor's

behind me just going, hey, he good, give into your hate. Because he wants to make, he's like, he could be what Anakin was supposed to be. Like, this guy's fucking useless. He's like a charred robot. Yeah, he's Anakin 2.0. Exactly. He's like, great. He's like, I hope you killed Darth Vader and then you'll take his place. And Luke's like, no, I'm going to, I'm a Jedi, like my father before me. And he's like, all right, well, then I'm just going to kill you and start shocking him with force lightning. Anakin is finally like, that is my kid.

and this old fucker is not very nice to me. I've had it out for this guy for a long time. He's like, and again, it's my kid. He's like, awesome. So he goes behind him, lifts him up. Well, when he lifts him up, he's basically sacrificing himself because he's running off a life support system

getting shocked by lightning. Chuck's the emperor over the rail and he ends up falling down like a reactor shaft. And then it ends up killing Darth Vader. But he's like, hey, take off my helmet. I want to see you. He sees his son. He's like, hey, you're right.

I guess there was good in me after literally massacring countless numbers of people, not to mention those pesky kids. Yep, Jedi's kids. Yeah, he's like, there was some good left in me. He's like, oh, all it took was your own son being tortured to death and also your vendetta against the old guy who was fucking constantly torturing you. We all come to our good in different ways. Exactly.

So, and here's where it deviates essentially from what's, Disney's doing and then what I feel should have probably happened. But I'm going to kind of wrap it up before getting into that. Essentially in the way that it was set up for 20... Are we not going to talk about the most famous Star Wars line ever and how it's wrong?

Yeah, we can discuss that. Okay. Because I feel... I'm talking about the Luke. I am your father. Yeah. And how it's like, Obi-1 never told you. He's like, he told me you killed me. He's like, no. I am your father. Yeah, it's just I am your father. That blows me away that anybody that's ever quoted that says that, but that's just

wrong. It's like you have to say Luke to get people and be like, oh, he's going to say something about Star Wars. Instead of just saying, I am your father and being like, no, you're not my, oh, you're doing a Star Wars thing. Ah, ha, ha, ha. It's just crazy. It's 99% of the time it said wrong. That's so nuts.

Something is popular from something that is as popular as this is just misquoted. And everybody's like, it's almost like they like to misquote better than they like the actual quote. So after all that shit goes down, the emperor's dead, Luke goes on basically the new Republic forms and everything.

And Luke goes on to essentially create like a new Jedi order except he's a little more like lax about like all this stuff that would drive you fucking crazy. Like hey, you can't look at like you can't have a relationship with whoever you want to. Like that shit'll fucking wind you up tight. So like he's kind of lax on certain things. And the newer movies kind of touched on that. And then you get the whole fucking Ben Solo, Kylo Ren, destroying the whole thing when I don't know. So I have, I don't like all that kind of stuff.

They had so many better options to go with on it. And they went in the completely wrong direction. But, you know, to catch you up to where we're currently at now, you get things like that take place after the empire when it's kind of on its heels. Because again, this, you know, the empire, the emperor gets killed. The Death Star is gone. The Sith are gone. Darth Vader has died.

But you still have this entire military that wasn't there at the time. there's police in the rest of the galaxy. So you have what's called the imperial remnant. And all of these guys that were the imperial heads of these sectors are either teaming up with each other or carving out, you know, carving out territory for themselves. They still have all these, like, star destroyer battleships, all these stormtroopers.

Like, they still have the means to enforce this stuff. So the New Republic is also still in a battle to kind of like wipe these guys out. Good storylines. Yeah. So that's where you get the stories of like the Mandalorian. and you start to see about that culture and everything. And then that's where you're getting like the, there's a series called Andor that's really good that explains during the rebellion

before New Hope, how the rebellion was actually financed and everything. And it's like a fucking Tom Clancy series. It's fucking awesome. Like even if you don't like Star Wars and if you just like espionage and like heists and everything, it's pretty fucking cool. Is this the John Favre's stuff? Yes. Okay.

So John Favro and a guy named Dave Faloni. Dave Faloni is like the godfather of like the Clone Wars and he basically was a Star Wars kid when the original ones came out then when the prequels came out and they basically found the guy that knew everything about Star Wars and put him in charge of this section of Star Wars

it's worked out beautifully and so you get now we're getting into the story of like Asoka so it's going to come back around to what you get to see happen with Anakin's Padawan and that's going to tie into a series that happened before the rebellion called Rebels that took place with all these other characters.

So, going to be some different ways that the stories are going, but now, after having listened to this, you now have full, well, I guess not full, but a very good knowledge of the entire universe of Star Wars

leading up to current. It just, it amazes me so much how deep and in-depth and detailed this kind of stuff is. Like, the Star Wars franchise, in and of itself, it sounds like you said,

they kind of like almost contracted choose your own adventure people to really expand the universe. If you compare like the established stuff that was written by like Lucas in the studio and everything like that, at this point now with all the stuff like Disney has done and Lucasfilm has done, it's probably 50% that

the other 50% is all of this fiction that was written and authorized and everything like that. It's called Legends, is what they call it, basically, but yeah, you still have all of that. And they pick and choose little parts, but then they kind of bastardize them and take out the cool parts. Yeah. So you don't get, like,

and those were the people that essentially after Star Wars were the people that kind of kept it going, because they were reading the books and kind of keeping that alive. And then when the prequels came out, it was just whole hog again. I would say even not having the connection of the Star Wars franchise, Star Wars has to be the most popular franchise to have. ever existed, right?

Yeah, I would say it has been. And here's the thing, too. It's like Star Wars Fast and the Furious. Don't fucking compare those two. Don't do that. Fucking throw something like you right now. I'm going to throw the one thing that I shouldn't throw at you that is Star Wars related. Don't do that.

Professor A.G for my birthday, this is how big of a Star Wars fan I am. Professor A.G got me a piece of the crate dragon prop from the original Star Wars A New Hope, the one that C3 walks past in the desert. during the first part when they're done on Tatouine. Yeah, I have a piece of that. But to me, it's just so incredible that this has ingratiated itself so much into culture that we have. And I think part of that... It has its own culture.

Well, part of that, too, I think, was George Lucas pulled from actual culture to make it happen. So, like, isn't Jedi, like, some kind of Japanese samurai? It's based on samurai. Like, part of it was based on this movie called The Something Castle. I'm trying to remember what it was. But I mean, it was also somewhat inspired by like Flash Gordon, all that kind of stuff. My thing about it is all of the stuff that I find most interesting isn't the stuff that's the mainstream stuff. And that's kind of one of the things that, you know, if I'm given a teaching episode and everything, chances are I'm going to go with something like this.

If anyone's listened to the Lord of the Rings episode, you know that I love this shit. And so it's the stuff that really hasn't been brought to light that I actually find. I think that's where the most interesting stuff happens. because knowing all this, like, if you just watch Star Wars, it's just kind of like, so that guy became a senator and then he was a Sith, but he was able to get all this power. Like, that seemed pretty easy. Like, he was able to just to kill off the Jedi really simply. But then when you find out the centuries of planning it took and everything, you're like,

oh, shit, we're just seeing the end of an elaborate fucking dance. Yeah. It happened. We're getting the beginning in the end, but the middle is a very interesting story. Or you hear people, like, if you see, if you're just watching the movie, you're like, how did Anakin just go from like a Jedi and then just turn evil all of a sudden? It's like, no, like go back and like kind of think about it. Like you have a slave kid taken away from his mom, doesn't get to see her for 10 years,

only gets to see her when she dies, then finds something to latch on to in the form of his wife, then has kids. So now he's going to get to start a family and then starts having dreams that's going to get taken away. And although this evil guy, you know he's bad, he's like, I'm the one that can help you keep the only thing that it matters for. for you to keep right now. And then you lose that. And it's partially your own fault.

Like, that's just a broken psychological character. He's got the character depth of like an iceberg. Yes. You see things, but there's so much bubbling below the surface that you just have to put into the... And what's crazy is like,

so the guy that played him, Hayden Christensen, after the sequels came out, people really didn't like him. They're like, we feel like you completely butcher this what we thought this character should be. And then all of this stuff comes out

with the Clone Wars, the cartoon, and you get to see the development, of the character and why he acts the way and they meshed it perfectly into how he acts in the movie and it's like oh we sorry yeah exactly and so now

that's where you get you know this resurgence of fan love for certain characters it's just it's it's something that I've I've grown up with and not you know I'm going to say like it's been a huge part of my life and everything but I before even doing this studying like I read up on all this stuff and I would read this kind of stuff for fun

well I think it does really help too, that all of the characters that are played in the movies. The cast, just the names that you mentioned, Samuel Jackson's in there. Harrison Ford. Before he was Harrison Ford. But I mean, the cast was like, that's how you knew those characters. And just to think about all of the famous people. Carrie Fisher?

Yeah, Carrie Fisher, yes. Vader's James Earl Jones Yeah dude James Earl Jones voice Is like you can see James Earl Jones and fuck the sandlot You're like holy shit that starts Vader's voice Like it's yeah it just resonates I think part of the reason they had him wearing those glasses was it because it was a weird

Vader thing I know he was blind and everything like that But I feel like there was also some of that element to it It just everything registers because you still see these people do so many other things Well and the whole point of this is like It is such like you know you can't go to Disney Plus or something and not see this. This could be something that like, if your kid is like, I want to watch that, you're like,

I don't know anything about that. I don't want to watch that. Like, it's a generational thing. Like, I like introducing my kid to stuff like that. And if one of the thing is like, I don't know where to fucking start with Star Wars, I can't start a new show because I have no idea who these people are. Hey, I just gave you a two and a half hour outlet to listen to this and be completely caught up on it.

I gave you the key. I gave you the key, put it in the lock, open the door, and step through people. All right, I'm going to keep it under. or close to two and a half hours if we did our bathroom break. But I'm going to let you folks go. Adam, how do you feel?

This is... Are you exhausted? Not exhausted, just like fulfilled. Like I just found another branch. Yeah. I filled up your hyperspace lane. Like me with goofy shit that comes out of left field,

you're like, wow, you're into that. Like, to be able to see the depth that you were into and to kind of bring me into your world. It's like, this is just an avenue that I've never gone down, but I totally understand why it's so addicting. All right.
