Yeah, just stupid boys making basement noise in the basement, noise in the basement. Just stupid boys making basement noise in the basement. Yeah, yeah. Hello and welcome to My Mom's Basement presented by Barstool Sports. I am your host, Robbie Fox. With me is my co-host, Clem, and we are here to discuss Chapter 1 of the Book of Boba Fett.

This is very exciting. Merry Christmas. Happy New Year to all the listeners. The final episode of 2021 for My Mom's Basement. Thank you to everyone who supported us, supported the YouTube channel. We finally hit 10,000 like Clem said we would. He told me I got egg on my face and all that. We hit it on Christmas Eve as well. So that was a nice Christmas gift for us. Thank you to the listeners for delivering that to us. And we're here to talk about a Star Wars show for the first time ever on YouTube. Also on the podcast feed.

But, you know, we never had the YouTube channel when we discussed The Mandalorian. Now we have to figure out how to hack the YouTube algorithm for Star Wars, even though we haven't figured it out for Marvel or anything else yet. So, yeah, thanks, everyone. 10,000 subscribers.

Like, 10 and a half we're at already. I know. 10,600. We're almost at 11,000 now. Don't let the Basin Boys get hot right now. I mean, the head of our company, Portnoy, he's the biggest Star Wars guy in the world right now. I mean, shit, if he just throws the Basin Boys a couple of crumbs, we'll be at a million before you fucking know it. I know. He really showed us up going to Star Wars land on Christmas vacation.

He made it there before you, before me,ff before ken jack before chris like every star wars fan at the company has been put to shame by dave and sylvana it's a double whammy too because like my my kids have never been to disneyland and sienna's seven years old and it's at the point where it's like all right we got to take her soon because now aj will actually somewhat remember these things and then i have my 45 year old boss riding the teacups like he's you know seven year old himself so uh but fire shirt too did you see his shirt it looked like millennium falcon like when it goes speed and silvana wearing a boca boba fat shirt on release date i said she earned points in the basement yeah big time points in the basement so you're welcome as well you can come whenever you want to the basement you know girls are allowed in the basement. Yeah, big-time points in the basement. So, you're welcome as well. You can come whenever you want to the basement.

You know, girls are allowed in the basement, contrary to popular belief. You know, they never really – that's never really an issue we run into in the basement all that often. But girls are allowed in the basement. That hyperspace shirt, I was with Large last night, and we saw the picture. He goes, dude, that's such a – and, you know, Large is an underrated Star Wars fan. So, we both loved it and uh shout out my guy r2 r2 got uh dave's head too so i'm happy that dave's an r2 guy like myself um so yeah and and for i rubbed it into he texted me last night and he was like uh he said rise of

the resistance is the greatest ride of all time you would die if you went on it it's like oh that was that was so messed up cruel um i realize there's going to be like some overlap or lack of an overlap in terms of, they're going to be some people who just do the star Wars stuff. They don't do the Marvel for anyone who doesn't know. We had the 10,000 subscriber contest and we said by the new year, if we had 10 K we'd run a contest, we're going to get some sort of stuff.

Either we'll figure out some sort of merch, some sort of stuff. Like Bob said, if we have some stuff laying around, some sort of nerdy stuff, we're going to pick. I say like three winners, right? I think three winners is a fair thing. So if you want to – and I'm going to let this go to the new year. We hit the 10K.

So we said if we don't hit 10K, nobody wins. We've already hit 10K. Everybody wins now. So if you want to get in on the contest, all you have to do, subscribe to the YouTube channel, YouTube My Mom's Basement. Yep, link right below. And then send a screenshot of it saying subscribed to theclemreport at gmail.com. We enter you in the contest. All you got to do is send that screenshot, and you are entered.

It's going to be a good prize package. We'll put good things together. I have so much shit at the office that's been sent to me from even lucasfilm sent to jeff and and they send cool toys and they're still in the package and everything so the next time i go in the office i'm still traveling for the holidays now but the next time i go in which probably next week week after i'm gonna go put together some little prize packages it'll be cool yes it'll be it'll be some good shit we're gonna take care of our and we have a ton of people man i'm telling you that email the color i don't really use that email it was kind of when I started,

when I first started blogging and it is just every day. And it, it just kind of warms my heart because everyone has such nice words to say about the podcast and everything. So, uh, we'll take care of you guys. You guys have been taking care of us. And I guess the next, do I say the next goal is a hundred thousand or do we say 25? Cause I think like, I think I want to start at 25. Yeah, let's start at 25. We won't go 20. We'll go 25. That's the next goal.

And if by next year – I swear to God, if Fortnite goes to fucking Disney every Christmas, I don't even know what to think of the guy anymore. He's going to bring me next time. I want to be like their kid holding their hands in between at Disneyland. Bob, I might – all right. So I have a Mets podcast, but then I have this like Star Wars nerdy podcast, and I have a Mets podcast but then I'm on this like Star Wars nerdy podcast and I have a fucking parenting podcast and this guy is the one at Disney there's something fucking wrong in the major and he's friends with Steve Cohen

yeah yeah exactly well that's what friends I think he's blaming Steve Cohen for everything that's gone wrong in his life it's Steve Cohen and Brandon F. Walker are the two people that are wrong for everything that's gone wrong in his life lately so but you know what? Everything's right in our life because we're back, baby.

We're back in the galaxy far, far away. Even if it's Tatooine, like you said, why we got to go back to Tatooine? You know what? We got some cool Tatooine. We got some cool stuff. Let's get right into it because we got a lot to talk about. From the date of the Mandalorian season two finale to the date of the premiere of book of boba fett there's 375 days in between it made us wait over a year and it i think it lived up to the hype i was very very pleased with episode one um i stayed up till three in the

morning to watch it of course like the lunatic that i am i woke up the next morning watched it with my girlfriend i watched a third time to prep for this all three times I was like yeah it feels good to be back in the Star Wars universe right now yep so I I'll be interested to see what what you would say about this I I liked it I I liked how we kind of set us up it gave us some of the past you know we're moving on to the future kind of hit all those things for me personally I was very happy it was a hard hit single it was one of those things it was hard it went right to the gap i was like could this be a double nope but it's like i never had to worry for a second it was going to be an out it was i knew this was

safe we're on first right now some people could say it was a double that's fine too but uh i'm i'm happy i feel like i think that's a good way to put Yeah. It wasn't a grand slam where you're like, that was something I've never seen before. I can't believe what we just saw. It was a lot of stuff that we're familiar with, right? Kind of the Western vibes that we knew from the Mandalorian, I think leaned into even more so for this show.

We'll get into it, but there was nine minutes and 20 seconds before the first line of dialogue in this episode, it's only about a half an hour show. So a third of it is just nothing. And's only about a half an hour show. So a third of it is just nothing. And that's very Clint Eastwood, man with no name trilogy. I think Robert Rodriguez likes to lean into that even more so than they did in the Mandalorian. So let's get right into it. Like I said, there's a lot to talk about in this episode. We start with some cool

shots of Jabba's palace. They have one shot that is exactly from the same angle that they shot Luke's arrival in Return of the Jedi, which I thought was cool. And we see Boba Fett is in a bacta Abba's palace. They have one shot that is exactly from the same angle that they shot Luke's arrival in Return of the Jedi, which I thought was cool. And we see Boba Fett is in a Bacta tank. He is healing. He's got his eyebrows back. He had no eyebrows in the Mandalorian. He's all scarred up, but he looks good now. Tamora Morrison looking like a snack at almost 60 years old. And we get some flashes of Kamino where he was born immediately. So you're like, oh God, prequels. Oh shit. This is crazy. We get some flashbacks of Geonosis right after his father gets his head chopped off

by Mace Windu. He's looking at the helmet. It's a slightly different shot than the one they use in Attack of the Clones as well, which I thought was interesting. Yeah, it was a shot that they had never used before. And then the closeup shot was one where they went back and they had like a body double, just film that part.

And then in the first minute of the show we get the answer to a question that has been on Star Wars fans minds since 1983 how and did Boba Fett survive the Sarlacc and he did we know that from the Mandalorian he did and we get to see how we see the inside of the Sarlacc he flashes back to it kind of like a nightmare it seems that every time he goes in the healing bacta tank, we're going to get some flashbacks, which I dug. Makes it a little different from the Mandalorian in that way, too. A little different in structure. And we see the corroded stormtrooper inside of it.

His armor is melting away. It's green. It looks like it's got acid on it. Boba Fett kind of makes his way over to him, puts oxygen in his own mask, and then blasts through the Sarlacc with fire. He actually uses fire. Well, unlike our guy Mando and he crawls out very much. People were posting the Patton Oswalt filibuster from Parks and Rec very much

like Patton Oswalt described. It was a cool scene. And the inside of the Sarlacc was the exact nightmare fuel. We were always told it was. I'll be honest, Bob, for some reason I thought it was going to be worse in there because really slowly digested i thought there'd be a lot more of that like green like if you're a video

game character you touch that green ooze you die instantly kind of stuff i always figured that i figured maybe it'd be like i guess maybe it's the armor right because we know how how good this armor is i guess that's the reason he could survive and you know no one else can when they go into the sarlacc um i liked the resourcefulness of kind of taking the little air out of the storm trooper sucking it back in and i hope like all of us uh so what was that that was the couple days after christmas on wednesday i hope fucking mando was watching and learning how you use a fucking flamethrower this guy used a flamethrower to escape the Sarlacc, you know, fucking basically a long,

drawn-out death sentence into his life. And this guy fucking got out of it. Meanwhile, like, Mando can't, like, fucking light a match on fire with his goddamn blue torch. But I appreciate that it was used. I actually, at the end of this, I have a couple of predictions that I'm going to say, kind of like a call your shot is what I called it.

And I was going to say, are we going to see a flamethrower? We saw it like the first fucking five minutes. But I think I'm going to speak for everyone listening right now. I could use a fucking back to tank right now. I really need the back to tank. Between like the last two years worth of pandemic, you know, related just fucking mental shit uh and then the last week of christmas eating i need to just sit in that fucking thing and just soak even you know any kind of lingering covid shit you may have going on back to take that motherfucker like

it made eyebrows grow back this there's nothing back the kid can't do fucking luke Back to Can't Do. Fucking Luke was in it. Gave his tan back. Props was in it. Gave his tan back, too. Yeah, exactly. Got a base, a solid base on fucking Boba. I love the visual of Din Djarin sitting on his couch watching this and being like, oh, that's how you use the flamethrower. Okay. Next time I'll try to do it like that. Some time later we see. Go ahead.

I was going to say he was probably nudging a little Baby-O, but he's baby yo anymore oh i got fucking i did that i i will say this too the biggest geek out moment for me was seeing the barge the wreckage of the barge i was like yes that's what it looked like after they fucking just left all these people to you know perish in flames almost reminded me of force awakens the first time you see the downed Star Destroyer on Jakku. Like, it's just like, oh, shit, that was from the war. That was from the movies we love. So that's cool. Some time later, we see Jawas come for his armor, which we knew from The Mandalorian.

We know that Cobb Vanth got it from the Jawas. So it was cool to see that whole process go through. And they knock him out with one shot. He tries to kind of fight back, but he's all weak. He's all scarred up. And they knock this motherfucker out. His face heavily scarred from the Sarlacc, like I mentioned. And the sand people come for him next. Very cool shot of them approaching through the sand, where it's like you only see two of them, and then you see four of them. And they give him this gross

like smelling salt type thing. That's what I figured it was in the Star Wars universe. It was like a gooey liquid that they squeezed into his mouth. And then they take him prisoner on the back of a bantha track. They take him to the campsite, and we get our title screen. Book of Boba Fett, Chapter One, Stranger in a Strange Land. No dialogue at all, but a very interesting intro scene. And kind of stuff that we expected, I think. The first time we saw Boba, he was in the tuscan raider garments and he had their weapon so we got to figure out you know how did he become ingratiated within their culture yeah i forgot about that until after i had like done like some

like recapping on everything oh that's right i forgot that's how we meet him and he just starts clubbing motherfuckers with with the bantha stick but the uh the chapters being back that got him like the same mando feelings i was like oh that's right we're going fancy boy star wars we're calling everything chapters the chapters the concept art and the credits right that was awesome i love that they kept that because that was one of our like main things mando we loved watching the credits every week for that stuff yeah that's how you keep us around either you know mid post-credit scenes or some some good art which the art and the music.

Fucking mwah. Ludwig Goranson, same guy. Ludwig Goranson, again, that name is the perfect Star Wars musician. They didn't have to hear. They're like, yep, you're hired. There's two things Star Wars does. They do fucking music and they do crazy names, whether it's in the show or

the people who do the shit. Also, Tusken Raiders, all the sand people, they're such bad motherfuckers. They're so evil. names whether it's in the show or out or the people who do the shit um also tuscan raiders like you know all the sand people they're such bad motherfuckers they're so evil and then we kind of got to see the other side of them last season where it's like oh they're just you know trying to live and raise their families like everyone else they made that motherfucker walk through the desert man that was some fucked up shit i'm just like damn boba that was that was no bueno yeah they're they're back to like they're not completely awesome mando got to kind of like talk through him or whatever and like

this one is like yeah it's gonna be a bit before they get used to him i also i have i have a request too i actually it's a request i don't think we can do it i need that basically what they did in the opening sequence without any dialogue is they showed his not top 10. If it's like SportsCenter where it's just like, and it was just Boba just getting fucking clowned by Jawas, by Tusken Raiders, by the Sarlacc, by the Sun, by Sand, everything. I mean, in a second, literally by Tusken Raider kids, they just beat the shit out of him while he's tied up. Exactly. Put that with the fucking not top 10 music in the background.

I battle go super buyer. I will make it go super i have 10 000 youtube subscribers i will make it a super viral so the tuscan kid wakes him up there's like one tuscan kid that this kind of episode kind of focuses on wakes him up bunch of kids beat him up with their gaffy sticks and then the memories kind of flash forward for him and i liked every time that the memories would go in and out, the screen would go kind of grainy. It had the green filter on it, almost Matrix-y. It was a cool way to show that. And he wakes up next to a Rodian and a Massif.

I think I'm saying that right. You spell it M-A-S-S-I-F, like a Mastiff, I guess. That's like George being not very creative and removing one letter from a dog and being like, eh, it's a Tuscan dog. He makes a little too much noise. The massive attacks him and Boba disorients it. He kind of like pets it. It looks like he felt bad for hitting it.

And then he uses its teeth to cut through his shackles. They like tied his wrists up with rope. And then he offers escape to the Rodian. And that was the first line of dialogue in the entire episode. This is nine minutes and 20 seconds. And he says, Rodian, do you want me to free you from your shackles as well? And the Rodian immediately kind of alerts people.

Rodian, whole episode, grade A douchebag. I didn't like this guy at all. He alerts the Tusken Raiders. Rodians are assholes. Total assholes. Have we ever seen a nice Rodian? I'm trying to think so, because Greedo... Well, Anakin has a little Rodian friend in episode one. Little kid, but maybe he grows up to be an asshole.

I bet he's a prick. I bet it's like everyone had the friend who was kind of, he actually does seem like a really nice Rodian too. Like he, they're cute. They're cute fucking kids. Rodians are cute kids. I can't fucking lie. But old Rodians are fucking pricks.

That was my thing. Rodians are assholes, huh? Like that's just what their thing is, I guess. Such an asshole movie. Alerts the Tusken Raiders. Boba has to run away. He, they focus on the kid for a while while Boba's running away. There's just a shot where they really focus on he or she.

And the massive catches up. Boba winds up fighting a Tusken Raider and, again, getting his ass kicked. I think they're showing us on purpose that Boba is feeling the effects of the Sarlacc. And maybe he's getting a little old, too. We don't really know when Boba Fett's prime was. But, like, by Return of the Jedi, was he towards the end of the Sarlacc, and maybe he's getting a little old too. We don't really know when Boba Fett's prime was, but by Return of the Jedi, was he towards the end of his prime? He probably was, right, based on his age?

Boba is not starting for a team. He's kind of like the seventh man. He's like seventh man. He's not the sixth man either, but he's like the second guy off the bench. He's all about his wits. That's how he got Han Solo. He wasn't the fastest guy or

the strongest guy he just thought and he fucking knew that he like would leak out with the trash and empire and that kind of brought boba back up java gave him a nice fat contract and his ass got thrown in the sarla and i think he came up with the plan in the mando season two finale right where we were like oh that was an awesome plan like i think that was him too he's got the brains boba is the brains and fennec is kind of the the muscle in this episode like fennec every two seconds like you want me to fucking kill that guy i'll kill him if you want me to fennec is a bad motherfucker she's awesome i love fennec shandon like i didn't think i would say that considering her first episode of the mandalorian it was she was okay in it but it had bobby carnivali's son in it and that was like the

one episode of mando that i didn't love. But now I like Fennec Shand. I'm like, all right, she's a damn cool character. She wakes Boba up in the Bacta tank, and we're now in real time. We're now in post-Mando. He's got Jabba's throne, and she says they're lined up to pay their respects, which I loved immediately. Because growing up, my mom always told me stories of her father going into Hoboken. Anytime he visited his mom in Hoboken, he would have to go pay his respects to the mob. And, like, I don't know if he was very connected or if he just knew members of the mob, but he was told, like, hey, Grandpa Della Bella's got to go pay his respects before he could go see his mom.

So as soon as they're like, yeah, you might be like the fucking that might have been the godfather back in the day is that fucking who like tony soprano or his dad is is like modeled after jesus and like growing up like his son would always give us like oh this fell off the back of the truck here's a couple kibler cookies like so yeah i mean my mom's side of the family might be connected to the mob i don't know shout. Shout out Grandpa Della Bella, though. I don't want to make any enemies here on the podcast. We get a very cool suit-up scene. We've never seen Boba suit up.

We don't know how he puts the gear on. He has almost like a Tony Stark suit-up scene. He has robots do it for him. They put the knee pads on. They put the wrist gauntlets on. And if you want a suit-up and the best stuff available, you go to Cuts Clothing right now. You know work attire's changed. You've got to be comfortable. Boba Fett changed his attire.

He went from a white jumpsuit to some nice silk robes made by Cuts Clothing. I bet he went for them because Steve Borelli, as we've told you, makes the most comfortable, buttery soft clothes in the world. They're shirts, only shirt worth wearing, especially on a flight. I always mention that because it's true. Anytime I fly, I want to be in the most comfortable stuff I have, and that is Cuts Clothing for me. So if you go to cutsclothing.com slash basement right now, you'll get 15% off your order.

There's daily deals, site-wide exclusive offers. Cuts Clothing, C-U-T-S, clothing.com slash basement. You'll get 15% off the only shirt worth wearing, and then you could suit up like boba fed as well you might not have the robots to put it on but you don't need them if you say 15 that money then goes towards your robot budget and then you could have robots dress you and that was a fucking move right there i'm just like all right so this is where boba is now he has like one thing is to take another guy's throne he like he shot bib fortuna who i

mean he was ready to die he was good his heart was going to give out if boba's laser didn't do it for him and then he's out there getting dressed by fucking droids and just looking that fucking again that room was cool too we've never seen that part of jabba's castle but it almost was like thrones-esque with the uh banners and like the sunlight peeking through it was very cool yeah definitely, definitely very cool. And we love the Boba, the old school look of his armor, but I do like the cleaned look, but it still has its dings in it.

It has its charm, its character. The only thing is I hope, if you think that's Jabba's old bedroom that he's in, that's like the master bedroom. Yeah. There's probably so much dried up Jabba come around everywhere because he's such a little fuck. Like he's a creep, right?

Jabba would have been cancelled. I mean, look what he made Leia wear in the fucking Return of the Jedi. He basically is cancelled. You can't say Slave Leia anymore. You gotta say Jabba Slayer Leia. I bought the slave on Fortnite Boba Fett. Oh, the Slave 1? The Slave 1, and it said

Boba Fett's starship. And I'm like, that's the motherfucking slave one don't you and i'm like oh yeah that's that's the thing but yeah i mean between the dancer he has like chained up he has leia dressed in the bikini job a very problematic but i'm also guessing he has a lot of like gross shit around his room i hope like those droids clean that shit nice and spick and span for my guy boba to be you know sleeping there every single night like definitely gotta get a new mattress gotta get a new mattress isn't even an ad there's no casper or anything or whatever the hell that our mattress company is but you

you got to change mattresses like new sheets you're not even washing them new sheets everything oh all the old sheets out yeah all the old sheets burn those motherfuckers the rugs and anything that he might have like slugged on, left his slime on. It's got to get out of there. And like, and like, I'm sure if there's, you know,

any huts listening, they'll be like, don't you say slugged on. You guys are slugs. If you're going to see huts in this show, by the way, I think there's a chance he's got to have relatives out there. We know from the clone wars there,

there's a hut clan. So I think it'd be kind of cool if we saw a hut, like, Hey, you came for my uncle's throne or something. I think like I'm sure Grandpa Della Bella had to deal with, you know, family members from other, you know, other factions of the underworld. There's definitely going to be. I'd be absolutely shocked.

I'm going to throw that in the in the call your shot presented by Barstool Sportsbook. We're going to put that. Will we see Hutt? So that's a good question. But I definitely think yes. Also, speaking of the clothing and everything, what do you know this? This is a live spitballing merch thing. We go green shirt, maybe like a nice forest green or something,

and then the pocket we just kind of go with the little Boba Fett helmet kind of thing. Were we as close to not getting CND. Yeah. But going to make it as minimalist and abstract as possible without Disney suing us. Yeah.

I mean, Jeff, I did see baby Yoda on a shirt and he probably sold a billion. And Hurst has been like going crazy with designs as well. So he might have like a pen ready to go for this stuff. I know. Yeah. And shout out Nathan Hursch joined our little twitter

spaces we're going to be doing twitter spaces every week clem's going to join on some of them we're going to try to get a bunch of guests from the office hank uh coley all the people that watch these star wars shows and it's just a little half an hour discussion the day of the episode like at eight o'clock the day the episode comes out i'm gonna hop on twitter just a tiny little discussion not necessarily as in-depth as a podcast like this but it's fun for you know the day of so make sure you check that out next week i was trying to figure out like why spaces are so great for like things like this and so you could talk about it without being like you spoiled it by tweeting something out everyone can have their conversation bring people in which was very cool i didn't realize that but like we did

listener questions where people would just join the conversation and stuff. It was very cool. Bunch of aliens bring tributes and offerings to Boba Fett. We see one type of alien species from the cantina where they're like, my friend doesn't like you either. Like the pussy face they call him. We see a Rodian come in with a Wookiee, or not a Rodian, a Trandoshian come in with a Wookiee rug. And Boba's like, I used to work for that guy. That's kind of weird. Like, I heard it was a Bantha. I heard it was a Bantha. I thought it was a Wookiee rug. I texted Jeff. I was like,

was that a fucking Wookiee rug? Cause it made me be like, is that one of Chewbacca's fucking relatives or friends that made me wear it? I hope it is a Bantha rug. Um, his name was Doc Strassi and he was played by Robert Rodriguez. The little mention of Boba formerly working for him made me think maybe we'll see him in in the future maybe he'll be uh like carl weathers character but for boba i don't know boba mentions he needs a protocol droid because he can't understand some of the aliens and i was immediately like you need a protocol i know a guy i know a guy who's got very tiny arms we i think we were both

right all over that because you texted me i was thinking the same thing and it would be very star warsy to have that all come together right it would be kind of nice um and then the mayor sends his assistant it's a it's a twilight he was expecting the mayor boba and fennec were both expecting the mayor to come pay their respects pay their tribute and he's like what the hell and this guy acts for a tribute himself he's like oh there must be a misunderstanding like i'm just here to welcome you and like i'm here for a matter of tribute and boba has a great line where he's like i'm the crime lord he's supposed to pay me what is he talking about like he's so confused with fennec and fennec once again is like do you want me to kill him and boba's like no's like, no, no. He works for the mayor. Just send him on his way.

And they say his tribute is he can leave unmolested. That was the line. And I was like, that makes it sound even worse. The way that word is used outside of the Star Wars universe makes it seem like, all right, you're lucky you got out of there unmolested. I think leave with your life would be almost too aggressive. And leave unharmed wouldn't have said enough of a point. Unmolested, it's like, we could rough you up like you know obviously this is a whole thing but we could really really rough you up you give you a couple whirly in the back yeah we'll stub your toe we'll make it so it hurts just as much as a stub toe or yeah we'll go swirl your ass up the mayor we don't like this this is

like obviously this is a different universe so we don't do the sus list here the mayor is number one two and it's de blasio what a dumb fucking move too you fucking idiot mayor like there's another criminal order let's piss this one off that used to be a bounty hunter and survive the fucking sorry actually you don't know him like the mayor doesn't know boba and he's already like kind of disrespecting it's crazy then they told him they were like if java was here he would have fucking killed you he would have fed you to the menagerie they said how about fucking getting called lord fett too sounded cool if you were became lord like say grandpa della bella leaves his throne to you one day and you become lord fox of uh hoboken what would be like if someone gave it to you as a tribute you're like all right this person's in good with me like is there anything in particular

you're like arizona green tea bring me as much arizona green tea as you possibly can i want to stock up i want to be in a bacta tank full of arizona green tea that wasn't even a hesitation hey listen to the sponsors your your ad goes here you guys want to sponsor me like oh no it should be you know whatever the fuck is mine would be uh the three color christmas cookies. Or the Italian cookies. The, you know, red, what is that? Red, yellow, and green. And it's like, they're a little fancy, right? Because they're like a step up in terms of your red cookies. Finding at weddings and stuff.

Like on the nice table, you know? Those are delicious. And you always get like a box of them where there's like only one or two. And you're like, oh, I got to savor this. Oh, and if someone else is like, did you eat the three color cookie like you motherfucker that's why you have to like just pounce on them as soon as you get them and i'm i i don't want to piss off grandpa della bell or any of the other della bells and i'm italian too he's long gone god rest his soul he's a force coach at this point but there's a lot of italian cookies that come out especially during christmas

time that are just not very good i hate hate to say it, but those three colors are amazing. Even though anyone who makes the three colors and they're the bad three colors, which they do exist. Listen, if I become a criminal underworld crime ward, do not bring me the bad fucking three colors. Bring me the good colors. They usually have the little chocolate sprinkles

on top. Get the good ones or else I will throw you to the fucking rain. I'm picturing they bring the cookies and you've got to test one in front of them and if it's bad that the floor just drops out under them like the rancor and return of the jedi i don't even do the thumbs down like uh in gladiator i just like hit the button and it's like boom um so gamorrean guards are brought out for boba and fennec at this point in 8d8 the java droid that is seen like torturing other droids in Return of the Jedi, which I thought that was a cool cameo, like, bring that droid in,

because he was always a cool toy, too. He was always one of the cooler action figures. He suggests that they torture the Gamorrean guards. He's like, they didn't surrender, and their squeals will be like, you know, it'll send a message to the area that you're the new crime lord in town. Nobody mess with you. And he says, no, no, I have a different idea idea i don't rule with fear i rule with respect so he says to the gamorian guards if i spare you guys will you be of service to us will you you know be okay with that they both kneel

and here we go we got two bodyguards two massive gamorian guards i saw someone tweet us i forget who it was and they called them the bash brothers i loved that colin kelly i wrote it down he called them the bash brothers i'm telling you right now i have my sus list i always put the people down that i don't think this is the complete opposite and if i fucking if i die on this hill or they literally kill me on this hill i'll live with it i feel like we have a big season coming up for the gamorreans right here i'm buying buying stock on them. It's pretty fucking cheap because Gamorreans have been like, basically like the pig version of storm troopers. They just get their asses lit up. These dudes riding for their boss and fucking like willing to just fucking

die. They bend the knee though. They say, Hey, you're the new boss. We're going to ride or die for you. I could not be more on these motherfuckers. And plus didn't Favreau tweet out a picture of a Gamorrean before this had come out so i feel like before it was before mando season two and that was because of

i think the premiere of mando season two he goes to the wrestling fight which was even like another cool way to make the gamorreans like a little more interesting oh god they're fighters like this like they get in a ring and people are betting on them gamorrean guards very much like tuscan raiders made much better by dave fil and Jon Favreau. So, are you riding with me? I'm riding with these bash brothers. Totally riding with you. I kind of like the idea of calling one Jose and the other Mark. One of them is an MMA fighter named Frank Trigg,

too, who's like an actual fighter, and that's why he's such a big dude. Oh, shit. So, we might see some Gamorreans get into some fucking nasty-ass shit later on. So, the basic boys are in on the Gamorreans. If you aren't you could let us let us know in the comments yeah uh this could be like we might look back and be like oh man but listen i'm not putting a dog on the sus list i'm not putting an old man i am riding with two known villainous motherfuckers in gamorreans and i'm

i'm all in i'm all in so please don't do me dirty, Mark and Jose. We fucking love you guys. Boba and Fennec take Mos Espa at this point, a very cool part of Tatooine, one that looks at least a little bit different than the Tatooine that we've seen. It's the city. I think we see the Boston Dynamics dogs for a second. Did you notice that? They had wings on them, but it looked like the Boston Dynamics dogs they go to the sanctuary and oh my god we get such a good cameo that i went full rick dalton point at my screen for lost my mind for somebody

that we thought was dead a question unanswered for 40 years max motherfucking rebo is alive i don't know how he got off the sail barge i don't know if he was like the band on the titanic where he was like thinking about playing through it and he's like like, no, I'm just getting out of here. But Max Rebo is playing in the sanctuary with, I think, a member of the Cantina band. I think that guy maybe got kicked out of the Cantina band and now they formed a super group. I'm trying to think of like, what would that be? You're the rock and roll historian here. What is a rock and roll band where two legends of other bands joined up and created their own legendary band?

Is there any like precedent for this bob like i mean the traveling wilburys with like bob dylan george harrison roy orbits and jeff lynn like i mean that was like a star-studded cast but that's the first one that comes to mind that's like the super group in my mind okay fair enough and that's the thing like it's like the first episode of the book we finally got the answer star wars fans have been wondering forever and it's like well how do you survive the talk no no did max rebo make it and he's fucking there i hate to admit it bob somebody fucking spoiled it for me someone said something about max rebo i don't i don't even remember who it was i think it's someone like i don't have someone at barstool or so and i was like like uncouth that's uncouth because i also got baby yoda spoiled for

me you know the first season so that one hurt everyone like just don't tweet out for i mean and i watched it at 7 30 in the morning on wednesday so it's not like i four and a half hours where i just couldn't have watched it because i was sleeping by the way shout out bob fox a 3 a.m guy he was a 3 a.m guy for this um i was just so happy to see max revo and i could be like audio slave too now that i'm thinking of it chris cornell joins up with the members of rage against the machine there you okay yeah that's a good one so max revo's chris cornell's yeah yeah um they're here to meet with oh go ahead well okay you can bring it up because they bring it up in the conversation here yeah so they're here to meet with, Oh, go ahead. Well, okay. You can bring it up. Cause they, they bring it up in the conversation here. Yeah.

So they're here to meet with Garza Thwip, which I thought her last name was funny. Cause that's like Spider-Man shoots webs and Thwip, Thwip. It's kind of his thing, which by the way, as we're recording this on December 30th, I'm finally going to get to see No Way Home in theaters tonight. And I'm super excited about that. Like Bob, have yourself a night, baby. You know how much movies cost these days? Do you even know?

Do you even do that anymore? I'm in Columbus. I'm in Columbus. Tickets are $10. They're the cheapest things in the world. I mean, when you go to the Midwest, things are just cheap. It's amazing. We get a couple Twi'leks that offer helmet cleaning.

And they even say, like, do you want us to hose down your Gamorrean guards? And Boba's like, no, no. They're fucking people. Don't treat them like that but we get a male twi'lek by the way who was just like kind of there for eye candy i think which is what the role of twi'leks usually are for the females but i think it's the first time where they were like yeah it's just a jacked dude as a twi'lek and they tell garza when she comes over that this place is now under their watch like hey just want to introduce ourselves we're the new fucking mob bosses in town. We got your place.

And she's like, all right, cool. First of all, I like how he, like, stood up for his Gamorreans, but I would have asked him where he's like, yo, that sounds pretty fucking cool getting hosed down. I mean, I don't know if they use, like, hot water or if it's, like, pulled from the kitchen. What if the point of view is like, yeah, you want to get hosed down? Trying to get hosed down?

You want to get hosed down? Again, we're riding for the Gamorreans on this pod, so I just just hope everything was all right i love the thing where fennec shan was like you know or you know people are saying you're supposed to be like picked up by your litter or whatever and he's supposed to get like a grand like entrance into it and i like that he didn't do that and it's like i said i walk on my own two feet it was a cool line salt of the earth guy yep for the common for the tattooing guy um and he when uh when he takes his helmet off i was just like we're doing that because again mando doesn't take the helmet off but with the helmet off so which i like too because tamora morrison's such a good actor that you kind of want to see his face it's like willem dafoe when they

broke the green goblin helmet no way home it's like oh good move we get to see his facial reactions and everything nasa i thought that was cool and they fill up their helmets with coins as they leave and fennec has a funny line where that she's like yours looks shinier than mine and that's that's like the dumb rube in me where i'm like oh they're cleaning their helmets how nice and i'm like i don't think they're gonna like try to steal their helmets again i can't believe i'm bringing this guy up i never even knew he existed until an hour ago. Grandpa Della Bella definitely had a thing where he took off his hat and he came back with a bunch of cash

in it. His hat from the Korean War, one of those veterans' hats. Yeah, fill this up with cash. I hope so. That would be amazing for him. I hope they did that. That was his paying his respects. They were paying him fucking money. He was like, no, no, I'm here for the tribute. You gotta pay me.

They get ambushed as they leave by this gang. And they all have these like energy shields almost. They corner him. The Gamorrean guards come up huge in this moment. If you didn't love him already, how do you not love him now? I mean, our guys were cornered. Our guy and girl were cornered. Gamorrean guards come out of nowhere with these blades, almost like mini pirate swords.

They were curved a little bit. Boba gets hurt badly in this fight by kind of taser sticks. He puts up a good fight, though. I mean, he flips one over onto a shield. He destroys one guy against the wall with his wrist gauntlet. The guy just disappears into thin air with that explosion, which was very cool. Boba's hurt badly, though. he sends fennec after a couple of them he says he wants them alive and then the gamorian guards bring bo right back to the bacta tank so again if you didn't love him when you first saw him if you didn't love him when they stood up for our guy you gotta love him when they bring him to the bacta tank what would he do without him i'm telling you if you're fucking not if you're not on the gamorian side i'm gonna need some like

real good fucking like reasoning other than like than they've historically been bad people. Because as we learned with the Sand People, it's not black and white anymore in the Star Wars world. There's a whole lot of gray. Don't be racist towards Gamorreans. Don't you be racist towards Gamorreans. They need to get hosed down like everyone else. When fucking Boba's missile just disintegrated, I'm like, oh, that's what we're doing? Okay, that fucking missile, the little, what were they called? boba's missile just like disintegrated a guy i'm like oh that's what we're doing like okay that

that fucking missile the little what were they called like the tweeting birds or whatever birds or something birds if those had disintegrated a bunch of people i would have said it was worth the money that mando paid last season those things yeah so fucking overrated i'm learning i'm learning how much that's going to be a consistent but maybe if boba had those could he shoot them up in the air and then they hit everyone behind the shields? No, because they stink. They're stupid fucking – It's so unfair too because comparing anyone to Boba Fett

is going to probably be so hard because his name is awesome. He has this – in our brains as we watch it as kids, he's this cooler than cool motherfucker. But Mando is just so goddamn lame. He's just so lame. I said it last season. I said it at the time. He's just so lame. I said it last season. I said it at the time. He's lame, man.

Boba's the fucking champ. I love it. However, that being said, I will love it. I would love it if every episode, Boba has to get dragged back to the tank. He's not fucking dying, guys. And then Morin's like, this is our boss? He's dying every single episode.

And they just throw him out. Some people will go into it with the questions, but some people didn't like that. Some people were like, this is our boss? Like, he's dying every single episode. And they just throw him out. Some people will go into it with the questions, but some people, like, didn't like that. Some people were like, what is Boba just like? The first question we got was from Rose555. He said, is it just me or does Boba Fett kind of suck at fighting? Again, I think it's almost like, I think it's a very purposeful thing that they're trying to show. Like, he's trying to get back into the swing of things after being swallowed by the Sarlacc, after getting a little bit older. Like, yeah, he's aging, but maybe he's like the fucking equalizer.

Where you're like, yeah, Denzel's old, but you better fear him. That's a good point. And I think also it's going to be, he's going to realize if he's ruling, he might have to rule with fear a little more. Just figure out a way where he's just not, you know, a crime lord should not be getting attacked. It should be his henchmen getting attacked nonstop. You know what I mean? And Fennec almost seems to like know that too. a crime Lord should not be getting attacked. It should be his henchmen getting attacked nonstop. You know what I mean? So, and Fennec almost like know that too,

right before they get attacked, she's like, Hey, you know, job and never left his chambers. Like I could fucking do this for you. Fennec is also a ride or die. She's there to do whatever for Bulba since he saved her life. And after Bobby corner Valley son shot her in the stomach.

But yeah, that's huge. And to get like someone like Fennec on your side is, is fucking enormous. So it's, it's good that he has someone like that. And I feel like we can, we can just be like, all right, she's huge. And to get like someone like Fennec on your side is fucking enormous. So it's good that he has someone like that. And I feel like we can just be like, all right, she's on our squad. She's ride or die.

The Gamorreans, I think, are going to be that as well. We're assembling a crew already because I'm comparing it to the Mando, which I think a lot of people made this comparison. This did have a Mando feel to it, right? Where it's like a little bit of a quest. And I hope it doesn't follow it exactly. I hope we get a little more growth. I think we will because I think this is just the book of Boba Fett.

It's not going to be this long-ranging story. Yeah. But I'm very happy. Only seven episodes announced. Is that what it is? Six more. And I think, like you said, they're going to maybe go off it a little bit because I can't see Boba doing as many side quests.

Like, hey, I need this for my side. I think it's going to be way more about the way he rules the way he goes about ruling like you said like finding the happy medium between respect and fear so i think the flashbacks will help as well differentiating it from mando the tuscan raider stuff um we get a big chase sequence on the roofs with uh which is a weird word i was saying before roofs is a weird is it roofs roofs do they go roofs with a v but that sounds even weirder so i don't know but they're on the the fucking roofs of moss at moss espa fennec shand is chasing these two people from prediction little call your shot maybe crimson dawn considering they were wearing crimson i don't know there's those amelia clark

rumors and whatnot um she outsmarts them on the journey. They're doing crazy parkour, vaulting over this, jumping over this. She has to dive off, and then she kind of cuts them off. And there's a great scene where, very Western scene, very Clint Eastwood scene, where she's got the two of them, and she just throws one off the building because she only needs one alive. So she's like, fuck you. I'm taking you. Boba is put back in the tank. We go back to his dreams.

And the kid is bringing Boba Fett and the Rodian out to the desert to dig for water. There's these little like, I don't know, they look like black mini pumpkins. And they crack them open. They drink water out of them. They want the water. And we see a gang steal water from a family. And they kind of like graffiti their house up with something. We don't know what that means.

They never follow up on it in this episode but i assume that's going to come forward in the future where maybe he's going to run into that gang run into those markings on the wall somewhere i don't know so i was at first i'm like i'm watching that i'll go down i'm like are we watching fucking uncle lo and ed bruce just get fucking turned into a burnt marshmallow and then i'm like where's the timeline going here i thought the same thing did you notice too it looked like it was like a jl and it doesn't it doesn't look exact but it's almost like it's like they like flip one of the socks and the red socks look i'm like fucking carabas is out here just murdering motherfuckers in a galaxy far far away i was kind of like thrown off by it i was actually kind of worried about my guy here i'm like this is what

he does when it's not baseball season what are you doing while he's digging he finds one and he drinks some water himself and the kid gets pissed off she grabs it from she pours it out on the sand to show him like i would rather get rid of this water than give it to you he talks about getting some of it in his mouth too he's like yeah give me that motherfucker yeah he's trying to get in on it boba starts talking to the rhodian while the kid is sleeping and again grade a douched the roadie and he's like what was like oh you know we both could Yeah, you're trying to get in on it. Boba starts talking shit to the Rodian while the kid is sleeping. And again, grade A douche, the Rodian. He's like, Boba's like, oh, you know, we both could have got out of here if it wasn't for you. Like this, that, the next thing.

He said something. Then the Rodian turns around. He's like, oh, you understood that, didn't you? And then the Rodian finds something. I'm saying it. He's a cunt. We've already pulled the C word off. Episode one.

Well, luckily, he doesn't last much longer. We're not going to see him in episode two um the rhodian begs he finds a claw kind of like direct jurassic park ask you like what is that big monster comes out of the sand kind of looking like goro from mortal combat i said he's got four arms he's standing on his back legs he eventually stands like a minotaur which i thought he looked cooler when he stood like that actually and he has a very scary face super scary monster he kills the rhodian kind of stabs him through the sand and then he goes after the kid because the kid kind of stabs him in the foot and boba fett saves the kid he gets on top of it with a chain ties around his neck strangles him

and then they bring back the monster's head to the tuscan raider camp. And the final shot of the episode, which I thought was really good. A lot of people, you know, wanted or expected a big stinger or a big, oh my God, shock. Because in the Mandalorian season one and season two premieres, we did get something big, but we didn't in this. It was just the Tusken Raider leader went over to him. He gave him his own water and Boba took a sip. And we see like, all right, that's how he earned the respect of these Tusken Raiders.

Now it's time to learn to fight like them, learn to track like them, get within their culture. And we're going to see how he became the Boba Fett we saw in the Mandalorian season two. I thought it was a subdued ending to the episode, but very good. If you don't look at it in the context of you're expecting something

big, I liked the symbolism of like, all right, you killed that monster. You're one of one of us now yeah it's setting us up for more again it's it's that hard hit single right into the gap could have been a double for some people but i'm i'm completely fine with it i i was i don't want to say expecting a big reveal but i kind of had it like oh and then when it was over i was like oh all right so i guess that's how we're rolling but completely fine i was i'm looking on wikipedia right now which was always our the most fun thing was when ken jack would go on um wikipedia and we'd see if they had already updated

all the new characters we had met in the bad match right so i'm looking to see if i can get the name of this uh of this fucking goro monster but the goro monster i looked for it and i couldn't find it yeah i i looked for it right before we started recording and they haven't updated it so they uh like i at first i thought it was like a dinosaur bone or something like that and it's like is that just what they do or they just think it was sleeping like do they sleep under the sand and they just come out and fucking go because avoid the sunburn shit man oh yeah yeah just fuck fuck throwing um like suntan lotion on they're just fucking burying themselves under sand uh but that was a pretty cool fight scene i was so happy

when the fucking uh the rhodian died again rhodian that kid is the fucking pits i'm gonna admit all right and that was boba out me the jobs when leia does it i would have liked a different death there again i'm i can live we're in tatooine i know this is all part of it we're going to java's castle we're living but shit give me a different death though that's all i would have asked for that was that was like a little nitpick but i think that's a fair one um let me say this about the death before you go on though a little skip forward to the call your shot do you think there's any chance they showed us boba on the back of that thing strangling it and kind of like holding it like he's reining it in because we'll eventually see him on top of a dinosaur like we saw in the holiday special the first time boba fett's ever on screen in the cartoon that would be fucking

crazy that's a little holiday special callback in showing us like yeah boba fett knows how to ride these crazy monsters these huge creatures yeah It was also badass when they returned. He has the fucking head of the Gor. I guess we're just going to call it Goro because that's what I called it in my notes too. I'm going to make an admission here, and I don't know if this is putting me on the dark path. I wish he fucking killed the Tusken Raider kid. And I know that's not where this arc is coming from. My guy Anakin killed them all because they're like animals.

I killed them like animals as soon as you see the dog you got to think of that scene right emo anakin just murdering the dogs and you've been like oh what did they do and there was a little massive i think in uh mando and mando like petted it and got along with it famously so uh it was kind of cool to see it come back here and um bobo was dealing with his own way but that little kid now i think we're gonna learn to love the kid we're gonna learn to love like the leader of the sand people whatever his deal is um and even the my sienna was watching with me i go how are kids who wants to watch star wars with daddy right now because it's 7 30 in the morning

and i had no interest in parenting at that time so sienna watched it and when the the sam person that kicks the shit out of boba she's like oh man that girl is awesome so i'm officially in canon right now on this podcast saying that that was a girl i think boba and that girl are gonna have like a little like a duo side mission where they're gonna have to beat the shit out of some people at some point so i think the kid is a girl actually and i think we maybe saw her in the mandalorian or in the book of boba fett trailer we saw this kind of like biker looking chick and i assume they're gonna skip forward and it's gonna be like her as an adult and boba maybe will put it together who she is but i think if i'm remembering correctly from the trailer she had like very pasty white skin and it would make a lot of sense

because she was covered her whole life by the bandages by the tuscan wraps right for her to kind of have like a very pale complexion so i think there's a chance that lady is going to come in later and there's got to be something more to that kid they focused on the kid just a little too much for that person not to be a player in the future her ass should have been grass too like there's no reason that kids their eyes unless there's a reason for it right i do do have you ever seen what a tuscan raider looks like i've never seen what i don't think so i don't think we've ever seen their face that might be a big reveal for this season as they like show you what the tuscan raiders look like underneath i'm already going on the gamorreans i do feel like between last season amanda and then this episode

we're gonna learn to like tuscan raiders i'm not willing to put like my soul on the line for that. I already have the Gamorreans riding on that, but two famous, like, like 10 year old or 10 years ago, me would have been like, are you out of your fucking mind? You're trusting Gamorreans and Tuscan Raiders. Either of them is crazy. So, but I'm, I'm putting it out there right now. I'm ready to embrace both of them.

Gamorreans are already like basically my best friends. They're, they're, they're fucking family with a different last name. Like grandpa Della Belli. Oh, and by the way, speaking of names, how about the person that tweeted us the dry cleaners that is Clem and Bobby's dry cleaning? How funny was that? As I'm Boba Fett day, no less. It was crazy. It looked like, you know, in breaking bad, like the vacuum shop,

like that's our vacuum shop, our secret little recording spot. We do have some fan questions that i think we should get into before predictions we'll end the episode with our predictions um first one from stansy he says do you think they'll go back and forth between past and present for boba the entire season personally i don't think so i think we'll kind of get to the point and i think the last two three episodes will probably just be the main boba storyline if i had to guess but i could be wrong i have no necessarily reason to believe that just what i I think the last two, three episodes will probably just be the main Boba storyline, if I had to guess.

But I could be wrong. I have no necessarily reason to believe that. Just what I feel. I'm with you. I don't think we go further back. I think at this point, the flashbacks, we're starting with the Sam people. I don't think we go. I would love to fucking dabble in some other shit, because I think I'll take as much young Boba as I can get.

But I don't think that's going to happen but i i'm with you i think like by like episode three or so it's like all right we're caught up we know what happens with the same people and then as we once said in wandavision like we can now fuck the planet we're gonna get all the things we're gonna learn why we've been building up this entire story so yeah i'm with you on that one for sure uh the next one i put on as much for the question as his Twitter name, which is Fuzzy B. Lumpkins. Just made me laugh. I was like, that sounds like it could be a member of the Max Rebo band right there.

He says, the thoughts on the structure of this episode. He thought it was very Mando-esque. He said, will this help or hurt the show by essentially being Mando's baby brother in terms of layout and style? Or do you think it'll help moving forward? I thought this was interesting because for me, the structure was a little different than Mando's baby brother in terms of layout and style? Or do you think it'll help moving forward? I thought this was interesting because for me, the structure was a little different than Mando in terms of the flashback, half the episode was flashbacks and stuff. But his point is very true

in that layout style. It's very similar. You get the same vibe. I think it'll help because I don't think it's going to be like a Mando baby brother throughout. But I think to get people in, I can't imagine anybody that enjoyed The Mandalorian not liking Book of Boba Fett. I feel like it's so similar that they almost like garnered all of those fans as if they didn't have them already. But it made everyone feel a little more comfortable with Book of Boba Fett with that style that we're familiar with. Yeah, and I do think it's like an aim small, miss small style too. Because I think if it goes off, if it's not great, if you feel like you're doing a story and it kind of starts losing its way,

as we, as some of us believe happened in the sequel trilogy, I'm not going to say everybody here, then you're fucked. But if you're kind of doing these little one-offs like Mando was, now the thing is Mando, I couldn't even tell you if Mando was good or bad. Cause every time I was like,

I don't really care. I just like, Oh, look at that little green guy. He's so fucking cute. thing is mando i i couldn't even tell you if mando was good or bad because every time i was like i don't really care i just like oh look at that little green guy he's so cute so we don't have anyone cute in this yeah they're gonna need to discover like a baby java in the in the background of the palace like oh what is this someone left a baby java there is a baby java in the uh in the first ever clone wars they made a movie to kick off the series, and it's focused on let's get baby Jabba back to his family. His name is Stinky, and he has a bad breath. You're the one who said, will we see a baby

Wookiee or something? I was like, holy shit, that would be the cutest thing ever. If I had to guess, I don't think we'll get a baby or anything especially cute because I don't want to fucking go on the baby yo corner there because then we're going to be expecting us Star Wars fans to be like, where's the cute baby this fucking season? Worst season ever! I'm going to fucking go on the baby yo corner there because then they're going to be expecting us Star Wars fans to be like, where's the cute baby this fucking season?

Worst season ever. I'm going to say I think the Gamorreans are going to serve that role as like the fun guys that we kind of rally around. That would be fun if they had like a little comic relief by the middle of the season, like somehow through physical comedy or something. It would be very cool. Our friend Sam Lauderdale, who gifted you a sword, wrote in. And he said, how could the amelia clark stuff even work if han is harrison ford and not the

younger version during this show so what he's referring to there's some rumors that amelia clark could be in this show it all stems back to war of the bounty hunters i believe we talked about this on the podcast a little bit a comic series where they brought lady kira back and basically her kind of storyline was that when han was frozen in carbonite boba fett had him she stole him from boba so they established a little rivalry between boba fett and crimson dawn now the attackers that attacked boba they were wearing the color crimson as i mentioned so i think there's even more possibility there one of them had facial markings under their mask you could see and i was thinking like dryden voss the original leader of crimson dawn had facial

markings is that like some kind of tribute to him or something i don't know so sam is saying how could that work if by return of the jedi we know what han looks like and he doesn't look like alden alden reich or whatever his name was he looks like harrison ford i don't think it's too far a stretch because i read about this and amelia clark was playing a 20 year old kira in solo in this she would be 40 this is about 20 years later in real life amelia clark is 35 i think it's uh more of a leap for her to play a 20 year old than it is for her to play a 40 year old i think it's yeah especially like amelia clark if you think about her as a human i don't think she's going to look very different in five years.

I assume she's probably going to look the same. Most celebrities do, right? So like, I don't think it's too big a struggle. And I would like to see her show up because even though you and me aren't the biggest solo fans, I think it would be cool if Dave Filoni kind of clone wars that too. He was like, you know what? I'm going to make everything a little better. I am fully prepared for the end of this entire Mando, Boba Fett,

all these bounty hunter shows. They're going to like save the fucking sequel trilogy for me. I'm a hundred percent ready for that. And they're going to do it with solo too. I like, I will say I, I hated solo for the most part, but like, I liked her character. I liked the idea of a lot of this stuff. It's just everything else beforehand.

And like during it, I desp but i'm i'd be 100 fine with it and by the way are we saying the mayor sent that group of because he's like you might get i don't know you might get another delegation is that the other delegation he got he did say that and that that's a decent point we have seen the mayor by the way i saw some people speculating who's the mayor who could it be i was even one of them i said could it be cad bane from bad batch and clone wars who we love like the little western guy that's like my number one hope for the series i would love to see him in live action but in one of the trailers we saw kind of the weird like hammerhead alien and in the closed captioning it calls him the mayor so we do

know who the mayor is it appears to be a new character i think we'll meet him next episode that's my prediction for the next episode i think we should definitely have like a sit down between Boba and him just to establish what that dynamic is going to be like and who really runs Moss Espa, you know? Fuck. I was – that is the mayor. You're right. I was thinking how awesome would it be if Sean Casey was the mayor because that was his nickname, which is one of the greatest nicknames in baseball history. Sean Casey being known as the mayor and Cincinnati Reds Red Sea, Crimson Like there was something we could have worked with here

Except they had to fucking ruin it We got the back bros already yeah Just bring in the MLB I'm giving fucking baseball singles as my analogies But oh I also got to shout out My guy Sam Lauderdale because Not only did he give me a sword like a god damn Gentleman and he's a great fucking

He's a good dude he always He's like a goddamn gentleman, and he's a great fucking – he's a good dude. He's always riding the sports book, and he donates a shit ton of money to St. Jude. That's his foundation. But he's also a mystery dozen partner of mine because he's like, dude, he'll watch the dozen, and as soon as the mashups – he's a mashup fucking savant. So as soon as it goes, he'll, like, make it right as guest to me, and he's, like, 99% accuracy. So he is – I have his number. If I ever need it during the dozen, I have fucking read, but either I've gotten better at the mashup or like too early in the game

to kind of like have as a lifeline, but it is nice to have someone out there. So if there's any other fucking people that are really good at certain parts of the dozen, you let me know. Cause team ZD, we're going for the crown. I hate to bring that up, Bob, but we're going for the crown i hate to bring that up bob but we're going for the crown now i know yeah we we just lost the crown it's unfortunate but yeah we're not even going to talk about it um the final question from dan roosevelt and this was a good one this will lead into our predictions because this is basically

a prediction question he said who is the biggest original trilogy character we are going to see and it's a great one i think the odds if we set odds on the barstool sports book would be best for the bounty hunters we saw on the imperial like bridge when vader's like sending them all after han solo so i think dengar who's all wrapped up in the stuff he's like the human that has the wraps on i think bosk the trans ocean is like how can you not bring Bosk in? Just because you brought in Trandoshans. If you just put one in that yellow jumpsuit, we're all going to know.

We're all going to think that's cool. We're going to know they have history in the past or whatever. Jeff seems to think we're going to see Ham. And that surprises me because I'm like, that would be fucking crazy. He said, listen, Harrison Ford is on set right now for Indiana Jones 5. And they're clearly doing de-aging for that. They have all the set photos. He's got a bunch of dots on his face, which means they're going to do the little deep fake thing like they did for Luke Skywalker. They even hired the guy who made the Luke Skywalker deep fake better.

They were like, oh, you made that better? We're hiring you. So Jeff seems to think we're going to get a de-aged Harrison Ford, which would fucking blow my mind. But my answer to this question is going to be Bosk. I think Bosk is the biggest original character we see. All right. So I'm going to go up the board a little bit here. We're going to try to make some money, like a plus 600,

going with a droid. We fucking see 3PO. Where are we standing right now post the Battle of Endor, right? Like, we don't know. They're there. They're dancing. Yum, yum, right? They're all dancing around. we don't know they're there they're dancing yum yum right they're all dancing around we don't know what happens next right so like fucking i figure every

star wars character ends up on tatooine once every like two fucking months as it is right so 3po definitely has a condo on tatooine at this point that's right and there was in the post credits or in the credits there was art where there was like the head and it looked like 3PO. It was the head of a fucking protocol. Would be funny if we get a little cameo and Boba's like, we need a protocol droid. Like let's go to the fucking protocol droid store and they go and they see 3PO and he's like, definitely not that one.

As an asshole. Yeah. So that would be good. And then call your shot. So our predictions for Mando for book, I keep calling it Mando for book of Boba Fett season one as a whole. I think the big one, as I sort of mentioned,

Cad Bane would be huge for me. Crimson Dawn would be awesome. I think next episode prediction, I'll go with the mayor. We're going to meet the mayor. We're going to know who I'm going to say, maybe we'll meet the mayor and he'll be like no i didn't send those people so it'll be in our minds like did he send those people did someone else send those people and by the end of the show maybe he rides the dinosaur oh you're calling the diet that's that's

a long shot that's the one you're hoping for right yeah that's the plus 1400 or something like we get a holiday special shout out yeah that's the one close to your heart um i'm gonna say we kind of touched on earlier there will be a java family member a cousin or closer so we're talking java a hut relative cousin or closer we're not going like third fucking cousin from his sister's aunt's fucking brother we're talking someone that might even have the hot last name we're going to get a pod racing if we don't get actual pod racing we're gonna get either a pod racer or some sort of a reference because i believe most aces that's a great call is where the pod racing happens in um fucking phantom menace i love that even if we saw it in the background of like it's on the tv in the

sanctuary or something, something simple. I would just be like, Oh shit. That'd be very cool. I like it. And it's for you, Bob. I did that for you.

Cause I fucking hated that movie, but I know it's all the people that grew up with that. It's like a childhood movie. I hope it happens for you guys. I truly do. And then my last one, I, a few people asked if she's going to come around,

we're going to get Omega. We're going to get Omega. The people who didn't watch bad batch. I don't know who she is. She's basically like Boba's watch bad batch don't know who she is um she's basically like boba's sister i don't know she's the only other unaltered clone of jango fett so like boba you know boba is the unaltered clone she's the only other one we didn't know about her till the bad batch and she was a fan favorite too like she was one of those characters where we were all like they're gonna be carrying this kid around all the time. Is she going to get annoying?

And she really wasn't. She's actually a really good character. So I like that as well. And I'm going to throw out another prediction. By the end of the season, we will see Din Djarin and or Cobb Vanth. I think we're going to get either Timothy Oliphant or we're going to get the Mandalorian himself. Join up with Boba. And then it's going to be like, you know how the end of mando season two was a lead into this i think the end of this season will be

a lead into mando season three so this kind of perfectly fills the gap between them because it is going to be like a while before we get that and in a way yes i want it right now but it's kind of nice to have a break off mando because season, that felt like it could have been the ending of the series. So like coming back for season three is going to feel like, all right, this is a restart. I think they're probably going to maybe try to retake Mandalore in season three or something.

Him and Bo-Katan are going to have that rivalry over the dark saber. Hopefully they bring Boba back in that as well. I'm excited for all the star Wars. We got the future. We got Obi-Wan show this year. We got some more animated stuff on the way. We got in the future we got obi-wan show this year we got some more animated stuff on the way we got andor coming out soon it's a good time to be a star wars fan it's a good time to be a star wars fan i actually hope if i had to choose between the two i kind of want a little thing

because i love that episode with him and i just feel like there's so much i just like that character i dig that character i think there's some fun shit him and boba can do together especially with the armor that was on the line at some point. And so yeah. Boba knew he had it too, because I rewatched the tragedy right before I watched Book of Boba Fett, because that's like the big Boba episode, obviously, where he armors up. It's directed by Robert Rodriguez.

And when he asked for the armor, he's like, I'm here for the armor that was taken off Cobb Vanth on Tatooine. So he knows Cobb was the one that had it. So that would be a cool confrontation. And you know what? We're going to do it. We're going to open up the comments right now. Put in the comments,

your biggest prediction. That's like, you know, a little bit more fun or a little bit more of a long shot that you, they think or hope will happen. Put it down there. And then guys fucking talk to each other. We're going to get,
