Just stupid boys making basement noise in the basement, noise in the basement Just stupid boys making basement noise in the basement, yeah, yeah Or is it? I don't know, Clem. I don't know anymore. It's chapter six of the Book of Boba Fett. But Tamora Morrison is kind of barely in this show. And I'm not complaining either. I've seen some people complaining. If you're giving us Star Wars content as good as this, there's no complaints from Bob Fox. This is, we're redubbing it, I think, the magazine of Boba Fett, the short story of Boba Fett, the periodical.

I don't know if that's actually still a thing that people say. But it feels like we are very much not in the Book of Boba Fett, the periodical. I don't know if that's actually still a thing that people say, but it feels like we are very much not in the Book of Boba Fett, which is fine, which is fine because everything – this is the reason we've been podcasting for like two fucking years or three years. I don't even know how long it's been. Coming up on three years. It'll be three years this March, yeah. Yep.

I got to shout out to our guy Zeb is here. He had Breaking, Boba Fett to make cameo appearance in new episode of Book of Boba Fett. That's what it's felt like. But here we are, Bob. And last week I said it was a slam dunk. At this point, I think Mando has just taken the show. He's put himself on the team, and he bats whenever the fuck he wants to bat. We at the We Gotta Believe podcast, Mets fans mets fans any mets fans who don't know of it

subscribe right now that is our mets podcast we do in season we call pete alonzo home runs that go 90 000 miles per hour straight out of the park we call those fuck bombs so this was a fuck bomb this episode yeah it started hot and it was like up home run don't it's a no doubter you know what fucking pete alonzo fuck bomb is a fucking four bagger the minute it's off the bat and this one we're like yep this one's a fucking fuck bomb this one's a home run i said this is the only way i can describe this episode dave filoni basically came into our living rooms and brought his star wars toys and we're like oh that's a guy you've never seen before oh that's the r2 i know and love that and he had old stuff he had new stuff stuff we've seen on screen on like you know in the typical live action star wars universe stuff we've never seen on scene it was absolutely

awesome and all i could think of during this episode was robert rodriguez said the star wars universe will never be the same by the end of it and we thought it was going to be because boba was going to get into some crazy shit and some crazy wild stuff was going to happen. And instead we got that along with a whole bunch of other stuff, man. How was the Bob Fox reaction at 4 a.m. Eastern time? How are we doing? A puddle? Were you a puddle? I mean, I wasn't even a puddle.

I was like, I tweeted when I was like, I think I was 13 minutes in. I like went up on my Xbox so I could see how far into the episode I was. And it was spoiler alert for everybody. spoilers spoilers it was luke train and grogu hopping on rocks and all that i was like my heart is racing like i'm playing in the super bowl right now i feel like i'm playing in game seven of the world series i it was like what is happening and then they just kept hitting me with shit in the face just kept hitting me with it kept hitting me with it did you get anything spoiled obviously i didn't so it was amazing all the way through i mean all the way to the end where we saw cad bane my number one hope for the series when it began i kept saying

cad bane live action cad bane if they did him right in live action it would be amazing they did him as right as they could have done him in his introduction so did you have anything spoiled when you watched it or no no i i went straight up twitter blackout because um i knew we were in the end game now and you made a good point you hit me up the night before you texted me like it's penultimate time and i said oh shit penultimate episodes that's where shit gets crazy i forgot to mention that penultimate yeah i mean this was by the way the best penultimate episode we've ever gotten to recap of any show on this podcast because thrones made the penultimate episodes basically famous right where that's where everyone started fucking saying the word

penultimate i feel like that was when it became big i think breaking bad had some big ones too um but this kind of delivered on the same kind of level as like a thrones where you just were having these high notes shit you did not see coming i mean i want to go back to our old episodes and big things we predicted and we we got a couple of little pieces, like you said, um, campaign coming in stuff. We wanted stuff.

We would have never imagined even happening or being possible to happen. Even as recently as last episode, we were going and making our predictions. That's why this show is it's done it in the weirdest way possible, but it's kept us off like balance the entire time because they just changed the show on you basically. Right. So it's been crazy, but I happily was not spoiled. I think if I had gone online, I would have been heavily spoiled even. And I, I, I like the spoiler culture, spoiler culture, I think has gone the other way where people get so pissy about like the littlest

things like for more than like 72 hours after then, feel like kind of it's game on um but at the same point like you just don't know even people saying oh my god that was awesome like i don't want to even get like that part of like i don't want to get my belly all excited and i feel the butterfly is going because i know it's going to you know inevitably let me down somehow but uh no you know hit tens all around and so many different levels and to everyone that was hitting something like i can't wait to get in the base with the boys we are here we are family um we are fucking stoked man this was awesome yeah let's talk about it and before we talk about it i do want to say 3chi is the industry leader in delta 8 thc products all of these products are

I feel like and I don't want to say Lucasfilm did a bad job marketing the book of Boba Fett because we were all in from the jump. You call it a show the book of Boba Fett. We're going to watch every second of it but if they could have leaned into that a little more in the marketing like this is kind of going to bridge the gap between two and

three i think people would be less taken by surprise because the early rumors did say that there were rumors about mando showing up maybe we'd get grogu maybe we'd get cob vent we got them all in one episode it was a fucking dave filoni bukkake but it is what it was promised to be in the beginning. We just strayed away from that when we watched the trailers and it was all on Boba Fett. And this is a mob show. And it's like, well, it started as a flashback show and kind of a mob show. And now it's just the Mandalorian again, which, like I said, I'm fine with because it's amazing.

But it is like it's all over the place. It's like a magazine like you said yeah and again i don't know if the other star wars shows like the ahsoka show or the obi-wan show is just gonna take a hard left turn but i'm now fully ready for that to happen just based on this uh series and i have to say like i hate to say it but like kind of the lowest points of this show were with boba fett and the motherfucker doesn't even wear his armor or his mask it pisses me off i feel like we've seen the actual boba fett we all know and love for like i don't know like five minutes this entire yeah quote unquote there should have been in the first four episodes more

boba fett kicking ass like when he showed up in that bar and he wasn't wearing his armor unfortunately but when he kicked all those people's asses and atashi station like that's the boba fett we love. And I'm again, I'm not complaining. You gave me some of the best Star Wars content I've ever seen this week, but I would have liked to see more Boba Fett kicking ass. And I think we'll get a lot of it in the finale.

I will say that. I think the finale is going to show us Boba Fett unleashed and they would be foolish not to show us that in his own show. But if we don't, I would be pretty disappointed. I think. Yeah. And again,

all the people who have those criticisms, I think that they're very valid. And I think but I think if you had just taken away these last two episodes and you just got what we've been getting for two more episodes, you would still still feel like you didn't see Boba Fett because it didn't feel like Boba Fett the entire time. Again, the highest marks of Boba Fett for me since he got fucking eaten by the Sarlacc were him sitting on the throne and him kicking fucking ass in Mando season two. So I understand the complaints. I'm right with you almost that the actual Mando show with nothing but flashback and even that show just felt disjointed even before it became Mandalorian 2.5.

I'm not going to complain when everything is kind of balancing out and we're getting good content out of it. That's the bottom line when it's all said and done. Right, Bob? Yeah. So let's talk about this content. We got a lot to talk about in this episode. We start off with the Pikes running spice through what we find out to be the most Pelgo territories run by one Marshall Cobb Vance. Timothy Oliphant is back, and he looks awesome. He looks like he did last season with the bandana. I love that sweater with all the beads on it.

Just a cool Western Star Wars-y look. He's got the new belt buckle, I guess, that makes him the Marshall. I wonder if that was going to be in some way connected to the Rangers of the New Republic, like they all wore those stripes or something. But he tells them, this is not open for business. You cannot run fights through here. And one pulls a gun on something. But he tells them, this is not open for business. You cannot run spice through here.

And one pulls a gun on him. So he shoots there. I think there's four of them. He shoots three immediately and leaves one to tell the friends. And he's like, you leave the spice for us and you go tell everyone you cannot run your spice through most Peldo anymore. He's like, this is worth more than your entire town. He goes, well, then maybe I'll retire.

And he dumps the spice out and we get our title. And this was a big moment for me at 3 a.m., the live watch, because the title card is from a desert comes a stranger. And immediately I was like, who could that becomes a stranger? That sounds like a debut in wrestling terms. Right. Sounds like someone's coming out entrance music for the first time. So I was like, that could be Cad Bane, couldn't it? So I know it's Dave Filoni.

It went in my mind immediately. And I was like, all right, mark that down for later. And it's a great title. It's, I think, the best title we've gotten so far on this show. This kind of shows the differences in Star Wars fans between you and me, where I saw that title and go, oh, they're talking about Cobb Vanth is going to, you know. So I thought, oh, that's going to be him coming out of the desert, just like he was there. And he's going to do that. So that shows you the two levels of Star Wars

fans. And just honestly, brains you're dealing with here. My brain is very limited and it thinks right in front of it. I love seeing him right off the bat. We get Cobb Vanth and they do that. I feel like a lot in these shows where it's like, you know, we're not going to tickle your balls with, you know, these guest appearances. They come right away. And I was like, yes, we got him back. I was so stoked. He's so awesome, too. And he just kicks over the spice and just lets it just sail away.

Even though I was like, dude, do you realize how money works? Like, try telling the people in your town you just kicked over. Like, you basically, like, we'd be blogging about it. Did you hear about the guy that, you know, kicked over a thing of Bitcoin and threw them in the garbage, basically? No, it'd be like kicking over Coke. Come on. Yeah, exactly. That's true.

And I was actually, we said on the spaces last night, it kind of looked like cinnamon, which I'm really interested in the whole spice thing. I feel like I can probably, I'm sure it's all covered very heavily in Wikipedia. But I figured out for our, I can't believe i'm gonna do this but this is this is how serious i am about growing this show and this brand

if we hit the 25 000 mark i will do the cinnamon challenge and i've seen all right i'll do it cinnamon challenge done we're gonna do it together i had a friend do it in college and he basically he he he's like i feel like i have the flu he like i'm gonna say yeah it's dangerous don't if you're a kid listen to this podcast don't listen to us don't do it at home it's like jackass you know don't exactly we're the idiots i did it when i was uh i think maybe 14 or something like with my band we like after band practice we were watching like vine and it was the thing on vine and we all went into like the bathroom upstairs and then took a spoonful of cinnamon all of us were like and it was a cloud of cinnamon everywhere and yeah it was a disaster but if we hit 25 we'll do it we'll do it it was covid before covid basically just inhale a thing of cinnamon my buddy was in

bed for like three days his chest hurt he was crying like tears of like fucking cinnamon we're gonna need a bacta tank afterwards yeah exactly but we're gonna have to set a limit on this though like i'm saying by like you know 25 000 by the end of the summer or something we gotta give people and we gotta get incentive yeah i'm just gonna do it you know 10 years and i'm like oh yeah remember we said that oh there it is click subscribe on your youtube click subscribe click like all that yeah help us out um so mando arrives on this jedi planet i don't know what the planet's called i don't know if there's a name for it yet. I loved the look of it, though, especially just getting off Tatooine.

Tatooine was cool for a bit, but we get a lot of it in Star Wars. It's very green. There's some bamboo sticks, some cool hills. And we see R2-D2, your guy, immediately. And in the closed captioning, I like that they didn't spoil it right away. It says, like, droid beeps, and then it pans pans down and it says like R2-D2 beeps. And you're like, yeah, our fucking guy. He brings Mando to a hut that's being built by these, what you called on the Twitter space is ant droids,

which I thought was a great description because they're building it one block at a time. And they look kind of like the huts on OCTU, kind of like the Jedi temple huts that we're used to in the sequels. And the ant droids wind up building him a bench and r2 takes a nap and mando's like i guess i'm gonna be here for a fucking while so we cut to luke training grogu at this moment at the top of the hill you see their two silhouettes and you're like oh my god we're we're about to fucking get into this right now right now we're about to do it and you see grogu first and then they cut to luke and God, we talked about how good he looked in the Mandalorian season two. He looked way better in this.

I didn't even know how much better they could make him. But I think it's due to that guy they hired. We talked about him a little bit last season. There was a guy on YouTube that made a video basically saying, here's how Lucasfilm should have done the Luke deep fake. And he did make it better. And then Lucasfilm said, all right, fuck it. We'll hire you. Go make us more Luke. We want to have done the Luke deep fake. And he did make it better. And then Lucasfilm said, all right, fuck it.

We'll hire you. Go make us more Luke. We want to have Luke Skywalker in this show. It's like the greatest example of a company taking criticism I've ever heard. It's incredible. Yeah. The guy hit the fucking jackpot. You got to love the internet.

The internet is a fucked up, terrible, awful place that is like responsible for like 99% of the bad shit that's happening in our lives. But the 1%, it fucking is awesome when it hits and it is hitting right there i i thought it was like a person for a little i was like wait a minute is that like i know it's not hamill so i'm like who the fuck and i and sebastian stan would have been obviously and i'm like is there did they just find someone in like the year that they had to do this i was so confused for a little while there but it's also like one of the terrifying things, how good these things have gotten. It's like in five years,

we're just going to have deep fakes running amok. You know what I mean? And not just like Tupac holograms. It's going to be you and me. People are going to be making like podcasts with you and me talking about random shit. And I know that like Luke and Baby Yo were definitely the high points.

I was not prepared. I just got R2. It's like, oh, my best friend is here. That was out of fucking nowhere. I couldn't even stop coming. And I was terrified when he just shut down. And I guess thinking back, obviously, in the sequel trilogy, we know he's all right. But I'm like, did he just run out of battery?

Can R2 run out of battery? I was so confused what had happened there. I like that. I think we find out he was just signaling to ahsoka or something and calling to her because she's like that's why r2 brought me but i like that r2 you know he's still got a little bit of cheekiness to him he's still fucking with people yeah he's he's still a little bit of an asshole and he's also like ride or die like he's not gonna like you know he might have had a little experience man he's like no i am fucking here for the jedi i fucking tip him off i love my guy coming through and grogu he's fucking throwing frogs in the air he's getting hungry

and then luke just being complete hard-o and i know he's like doing the yoda with the x-wing trying to show the true power of the force but come on man you don't have to be such a fucking tough i wish luke had eaten a frog just to be a dick right in his face look him right in the eye he's like listen little man this is how you do it right here well they're showing him i watched this three times now this episode i've watched it three times over i loved it so much but it you watch it a little bit differently this opening scene especially when you find out that like luke is a little bit conflicted about training grogu he's not fully invested in the training because you're like the first time i watched it i was like this is cute the second and third time i watch it i'm like oh okay luke is trying to have him meditate

and he's distracted by this frog he's trying to you know eat the frog and luke is like look what you could fucking do if you just use the force dude like you could get all the frogs you want and grogu he's just a he's guys being dudes he's like i want to take a nap and eat like one frog at a time dude chill out yeah teach a teach a fucking i can't even do the thing how to fish never go hungry again oh yeah yeah teach a grogu how to use the force he'll never go hungry again because he'll just eat the entire fucking pond of frogs yeah so they go for a walk luke and grogu and this is fucking adorable how luke is using the force to have grogu hop alongside him just amazing i thought

how much it must suck walking with grogu like as soon as they were walking like oh man that's gonna suck and then i saw him doing that i'm like oh my god and i thought it's like so casually he doesn't say anything like it's like hey man it's all right you're just like you have little legs nothing to be ashamed about it was like when we were in disney for celebration and i was in the java outfit and i'm here like waddling around you're like oh like we have to wait for clem every five minutes you guys are just waiting for me as i was just waddling in i wish i could have had the force and yeah just hopped you around that would have been amazing but this is a crazy scene that one that you think

like when we were introduced to baby yoda we never thought we were gonna have luke skywalker telling him about master Yoda. And he's like, yeah, he would speak backwards, like in riddles. It was funny.

Like, have you ever heard anyone speak like that back on your home planet? Given the size matters, not like give with Grogu, a little inspiration there. And he says, do you want to remember back home? And Grogu's like,

I don't know. He didn't say yes, but he kind of nods. He kind of looks approving. And Luke puts his hand on Grogu's forehead and gives him some old memories back. The memories that he went to were Order 66 memories. It looked like he was in the Jedi Temple. He was covered up by something.

He was by a blanket. He looked even younger than he does in this. Just so adorable. Like baby, baby Yoda. And he sees a lot of Jedi die. He sees a lot of violence, a lot of destruction early on in life. And we kind of cut away from that before we see a resolution. So I think the mystery is still out there. Who saved baby Yoda? How did he get out of the Jedi temple? Where did that lead him? But it

is a little foreshadowing, I think for later as well, like, man, if he's given the choice between going back into the Jedi order and doing other stuff with his pal, the Mandalorian, he's given a choice between going back into the jedi order and doing other stuff with this pal the mandalorian he's seen how that jedi order could go i don't know if he wants to go back into that i didn't even think about that that is some serious ptsd they unleashed and on me too it's like oh we're cnr2 oh we have a soca there's luke here's order 66 motherfuckers i was not ready for that again one of the like, I can't even watch that scene because it's so fucking just, like, evil and, like, it's all planned out. And now when you think Baby Yoda was in that fucking building,

that fucker Anakin came through in that building. They're just making us hate Anakin more for Obi-Wan in a few months. Yeah, that's true. That's true. And you just see him and he's looking through his little baby towel and he's always a fucking baby too. I love it. He's just like, he looks exactly like he did. And I mean, what is that now? That's

probably 30, 40 years ago in this timeline, right? Because you're looking at before Luke is born or right around the time he's born, obviously, when Padme dies. Yeah, probably around 30 years. So it's fucked, man. God damn it. and again the other thing about order 66 so i have to admit it it's so fucking like well done and planned out i have

to give fucking paps even seeing those like 501st clone troopers was like oh shit like those are the ones that anakin marched in with like that overhead shot that everyone loves like damn order 66 is cool it's devastating but it's cool it's like if in game of thrones they got to keep revisiting the red wedding in some way yeah that's the perfect way to put it and i feel like the jedi that we're protecting those are more deeper cut right like i'm not gonna know them okay they were all from the video game there was like a symbol on the wall which was of a jedi from the clone wars but i think she might have been in prison at the time so there's still little hints being given out here and there i think almost like the foundling when we saw din jarin

as the foundling the hints of like death watch and stuff i think it's almost the same thing dave filoni just throwing in little deep cuts that might come into play later might not um and ahsoka shows up at this point which is like again we're like oh my god we got khan vanth we got luke we got grogu that must be it for this episode right that's like oh my god we got kov vanth we got luke we got grogu that must be it for this episode right that's that's so much we got r2 even but no ahsoka shows up rosario dawson and mando's like what the fuck are you doing here she's like i'm here to ask you the same question r2 called me he said you're showing up to meet with the kid you got to leave him alone this is what it is and he's like listen he's a mandalorian family i want to make sure he's

safe i've got something for him he shows uh ahsoka the present she's like how about you and me go for a walk now which was a nice parallel to luke and grogu and then we get amando and ahsoka going for a walk of their own and she has this old takes exposed line that i just have to call her out for where she says there is no place in the galaxy more safe than with luke oh that was tough that was that aged poorly that was black widow says see you in a minute yeah did you lose anyone that was tough and she has a very good line which almost resonated with me where she said are you doing this for grogu or are you doing this for yourself and i thought man i want to see grogu so bad and i want to see them reunite so bad but it's

probably best for the mandalorian storyline for them not to reunite yet because then it'll make it even sweeter when they do so i was like damn do i want this for grogu or do i want this for myself rob and it resonated with me he gives her the armor eventually he's like all right you know what you've convinced me she calls him a padawan which is pretty fucking sweet she's like yeah maybe he's a padawan now maybe not a family or a little guy goo he sees the ship fly away and he looks adorable with his little teeth his teeth look i have a long hair chihuahua his teeth look like hers where it's like they're not even tic tacs they're they're like a fraction of a tic tac how tiny they are it's absolutely let me get my guy. Hold on. My guy's over here.

Oh, nice. We got live Bob Fox reveal on the YouTube. This is why you guys got to subscribe. Come on. I mean, come on. Tell me this guy's not the most adorable guy in the galaxy. And I didn't watch it with him, but AJ this morning brought our giant Baby Yoda pillow and the Baby Yoda that you have in your hand downstairs to go play with us. And he was just like, Baby Yoda.

So Baby Yoda is in everyone's mind. The Force is in. The Mando is back. And again, I heard my guy Emergency Awesome goes, is Grogu going to be the Mandalorian when it's all said and done? Because that will be his decision and he'll be the guy. So just it was awesome. The closed caption gang knows, baby, Grogu coups. When you get the

coup out there, that's when your heart starts growing. You start getting that warm feeling in your belly. That guy just fucking does it to you. And shout out to fucking Mando. Mando went all that way to goddamn the middle of nowhere like the suburbs of the star wars galaxy yeah and then dropped off a present and then turned around without fucking

saying hi to the person he went all that way for and if you've ever done like a long road trip that fucking sucks man i i oh i wouldn't wish on my worst enemy um i he just wanted to see this cute face and he couldn't really got to see him from a from a mountain he got to see all right he's safe at least he got confirmation that my guy's safe i made the right call of dropping him off with these people they're not going to put him in danger but damn that does suck you've made it all the way there he's like god nothing bad ever is ever going to happen at that point and the friend of the family line i know you you like that when an old friend of the family yeah and she even you like that when when a friend of the family yeah and she even has a conversation with luke later on which we'll get to in a second but she has another

line in that where i was just like oh my god this is it's crazy to see these two characters interacting they've never interacted before yeah and she says baby yo chose luke and is that basically you know i guess like well she was saying I thought she was saying that was Luke's decision to train him. She, cause Amanda was like, why are you okay with him training baby Yoda? If you weren't okay with training him, because in her episode, you know, we saw that she was like, no, I can't train him. She was like, he chose it. And I thought that meant like Luke chose that decision and she trusts master luke with whatever he's doing now it could mean maybe grogu chose luke and he was closer to him but i i still think our guy's gonna go to

borrow a line from jersey jerry as i said the twitter spaces it was always the mandalorian you gotta go with our guy the mandalorian come on yeah and again the armor made this point last week and then uh soca made the point this week like these are the extreme religions we're dealing with here when it comes to mandalorian and we're dealing with the jedi our boy mando he's kind of the cool religion he's the guy that lets you go to church he go with your jeans yeah exactly you're not gonna go hardcore he's gonna teach you some interesting stuff but hey you want to take a helmet off here and there you take a helmet off you want to love somebody you love somebody we're on eat a frog eat a frog you don't care about the calories and that is the x factor

in all this we have never actually i'll save this take for the end of the episode but i am very excited about what this could all lead to in the future okay all right that's a good that's a good tease for later on keep listening people you better make it to the end with us grogu learns to jump in one of the most adorable scenes we've ever seen in the Star Wars universe. Luke is like, all right, let's see a jump. And he barely makes it off the ground. I mean, I don't even think his robe is still dragging on the ground when his feet leave. He makes a cute little sound.

Oh, so cute. I have a higher vertical than him. That made me feel good. He had one of those Koli verticals where he's got like vertigo, so he can't jump at all. Luke has a great line. He remixes Yoda's do or do not. There is no try line. And he says, don't try, just do.

I was like, oh, yes. Luke's not speaking backwards, but he could give the same lessons as his master Yoda. And he goes for a run with Grogu in a backpack, just like Empire Strikes Back. It was a great parallel. We get to see Luke doing flips. He's doing jumps. He's climbing trees, climbing bamboo trees. He looks like the master that we were always told he could be he's very strong with the force at this point and he gives baby yo some training remote practice and

by the way i'm saying baby yo a lot i know some people are like it's not his name his name's grogu he's baby yo till the end of time especially now that he got told about yoda like you're a baby version of yoda dude i love love him, but he's Baby Yoda. I have a note. I hate the word Grogu so much. Oh, do you? I like Grogu, but I go back and forth. I don't hate it.

I just don't love it. So because of that, I am going to call him Baby Yoda. And if anyone has a problem with that, I will just keep saying the exact same thing. Baby Yoda is an all-time nickname. Exactly. I loved it. It just sounds nickname. Baby. I was an all time nickname. Exactly. I loved it. It just, it just sounds better.

And if you, if those are the worst, those, you are basically the Jedi and the hardcore Mandalorian, right? You know, zealots of fucking whatever naming is in Star Wars universe. He's baby.

Yo, his mama calling baby. Yo, I'm a call baby. Yeah. So he goes on a log at this point and he does a little, what I call baby yoga. Oh, oh come on that is a good one he does a little baby yoga and he does training remote practice the training ball fires a little blaster at him hits him back and luke is like get back up

always get back up almost like a parent teaching their kid how to ride a bike and he starts jumping around on all the rocks and i loved the way he looked during this it was clear that it was cg because you can't do that with a puppet the way he was jumping from rock to rock in the water and all that but they make the cg look like it is the puppet still it still looks like practical to a sense and it was just kudos to the entire visual effects team in this episode because it was amazing and this scene really made me think he's got to go back to the mandalorian because now he's not a burden to carry around he's not waddling around and you know he's still getting sleepy after he used the force he fucking took a

nap immediately he's taking a nap on this rock but he can jump around he could flip around a little bit he can go alongside the mandalorian in these adventures i I was like, oh, fuck, this is cool. And this is when Luke and Ahsoka have their talk. Luke tells her, this is another big line, that Grogu seems to be remembering this stuff more than Luke is actually teaching it to him. He's remembering it from previous training, which is another nice, like, hey, we could just level him up and people aren't going to complain because they're not like,

oh, he learned that that quickly. It's like, no, no, no, yeah, he's 50. He learned it when you didn't see him. luke has a lot of conflict about training him he's like i don't know if his heart's fully in it he watches him take a fucking nap on the rock he's like look at this kid he sees like i'm trying to teach him how to be the greatest jedi of all time he's taking a nap on me and ahsoka says you're so much like your father you have so much of your father in you or something like that it's like oh that's amazing luke says will i see you again she says perhaps so i think we will see luke visit her and ahsoka maybe get some recollection of anakin from the past luke doesn't know a ton about anakin so i'd like to see her

tell him some of the good things about anakin some of the good things that he did while he was jedi while he was fighting in the clone wars but But all of this. Just fucking phenomenal. And then they go back to the main storyline. With the Mandalorian going to Jabba's palace. And my favorite sound moment. In the episode. Was when he jumps through. Right after this epic scene. With Luke looking at Grogu.

And they just give that little Mandalorian horn. As he goes through. Oh that was good. I have a note there. Mando noise. I love that Mando noise. It fucking plays. And now at this point, it means good, fun shit's going to happen

because we were kind of in flesh back to fucking hell. And then it was like, oh, no, we're just going to play the hits now and Filoni's going to absolutely crush. The fact we got a lightsaber too, I was like, we're getting lightsabers here? We're getting all the marks. And again, if you had asked me before this season started the quote-unquote book of boba fett i would say like if there was a lightsaber it would have probably

been some new jedi or like maybe ahsoka or i guess the darksaber technically counts as like some sort of saber um but it's it's crazy and then the fact that luke had the same backpack and then later we see obviously the lightsaber like did he just hoard all yoda shit and just like take it all when he left the planet i feel like he just had to after he fucking he didn't have a body called him from like dagobah storage units and they were like you got to pick up all this shit in his hut you know we're trying to repurpose this we love yoda but we're making it into a museum you know so you got to get his stuff i guarantee he wasn't even he didn't even know his name was yoda he's probably like the dude spoke backwards he died so you have he's like he was always really weird with me he was

always making jokes hitting me on the head with a stick yoda definitely didn't show his real self around these people yeah you're his emergency contact you know because he's technically hiding all those years too right so um and i love how seeing i love that we get those little hints of yoda where he'll just occasionally murder a motherfucker with the force. You know what I mean? When he destroys the training remote. Yeah, destroyed the training remote. He looked so proud of himself when he did that too.

It said Grogu squeals. Yeah, he squealed. It was from a cooing to a squeal. And my other question was Ahsoka just on the planet to like be a secretary for a little bit. And then she's like, I'm going to leave. Yeah, she was there to be a bouncer. She was there be like no you can't get in though not here it was i thought that was so weird but like i said on the on the twitter spaces it would have been hilarious where he she was like well are you gonna stay he's like are you gonna stay if luke says that to her and

he's like well you did kind of murder my best friend from as a child so it's i mean i guess technically was the emperor but luke didn't help any of the matter there he burnt his fucking dead body too if we're mentioning music moments like the cool sound moments in this episode i do also have to shout out luke climbing to the top of that one bamboo tree with grogu on his back and i was getting the john williams force theme every single time you get that in a good moment especially one like this where it's like we're watching luke and fucking grogu right now the force theme is gonna hit like that puts chills on your arms john williams the goat um so mando arrives at java's palace he speaking of secretaries

tells one of the gamorrean guards i'm here about fennec shan he's like yep right this way let me bring you to office room number two that was jose i've decided fennec basically gives everyone a rundown of events they have the big hologram map they have black or santan in the room they have the fucking robot kids the spy kids they have the mayor's fucking dickhead guy in the room who they're like the mayor's off world and he's like that was actually scheduled vacation just he gets one line in the episode and he hit his dickhead mark for the episode as well in that one line and she says we need soldiers is the big thing we need foot soldiers amanda's like all right i fucking know tatooine at this point i think i can help you out with that he flies over to most pelgo

and on the way we see a sandcrawler and they've taken the head the skull of the crate dragon and put it on top oh my god what a small detail that was so badass and then later we see they've repurposed like the ribs of it in the bar so amazing double metal dom getting those both double and in fact i love the the skull the skull is fucking badass yeah but putting like that that is like just that's just badass you're just basically saying that like the other jawas out there plus anyone else, yo, do not fuck with this ship. This is Kray Dragon fucking.

This is where Kray Dragons go to die. You know those, like, badass coconuts in Moana? Yeah, exactly. Like, that's what that sand crawler's like. Great reference. Oh, I love those fucking little guys. Those guys are great. Coca-Mona.

Those are one of the best parts of Moana, those little coconut guys. I don't know if I've ever made this take on here, but I've said it multiple times and I'll say it again. I don't care. Moana is the greatest Disney movie of all time. What do you think about that take Bob Fox? And this is coming from someone who says the Lion King is one of the

greatest movies of our lives. And if you want to even lump Toy Story in, even though it was technically Pixar and they were different at the time, I still want to. So I am. I'm a huge Moana guy. So I'm not not gonna argue with that take at all i love when people say moana is one of the best but personally i think i go

incredibles i think i go incredibles monsters inc moana there was actually finding nemo's in in the mix too i love finding nemo a little stoner turtle you get the stoner turtle oh stoner turtles like just the turtle overall vibe is is up there but and then the the whoever the architect was in that little town it was like let's put the ribs in this bar god bless you man what i know they that's like that architect is no offense to most pelgo they deserve to get out of most pelgo go work in most because you are fucking amazing at your job and i i always forget what are they called the mayor myer the major domo or whatever mayor's major domo yeah yeah i just call him assistant fuckface i need that guy to die i need him to die it either has to

be a very like brutal death or he gets eaten by the new rank or those are the i was gonna say the rancor would be a good death for him like he tries to escape and he hits like a death or he gets eaten by the new rank or those are the, I was going to say the, the rank or would be a good death for him. Like he tries to escape and he hits like a button that he thinks gets him out of the palace and it actually drops them into the pit or something. Yes. Like just one of those, like you, you fucked yourself,

dude. I want one of those deaths for, I've now realized this after last week's episode of the pod. Every time I see Jawas, I'm just going to think about them having sex and screaming. As they finish here. So that's where he is. sex yeah young cop vanth like i don't even know what to call him like his like assistant deputy oh yeah he was a hard-o as soon as i'm like that kid's a dick absolute dick that was the first thing i thought of when i saw him he was also trying to be a bouncer and he was one of those like hey you don't belong you know you can't

park that here and cop vanth is like dude dude, chill out. It's my fucking friend. He can park wherever he wants. He's the Mandalorian. Look at his armor. And that was his. He definitely was the one who named it Freetown, too. We've renamed this place Freetown. That's a second grader name.

Well, now we're free. We're the Freetown. Fuck. Mos Pelgo is a cool name. I like Mos Pelgo. I think that fits in with the Mos Espa, Mos Isley, all of that. Freetown, it's a bit. I don't know. It's like it fits in with the most espos mostly all of that like freak down it's a bit i don't know it's like free guy it reminds me that movie like it's just which was just like generic whatever good movie but the point of it is it being generic and all that yes um but he goes into the bar he has a drink with him ribs look amazing in this bar and he asks him

for a favor he's like i need foot soldiers cob vanth doesn't really want to go at first he's like i mean we we fought that kray dragon like we're chilling here this is a good town at this point where we got peace times and mando's like listen i'm sorry it's not easy to ask for a favor but i'm fucking on my hands and knees here he basically begs him he's like we need foot soldiers to help and he's like all right i'll see what i can do mando leaves and he he also acknowledged uh cobb vance was like oh is that a starfighter naboo starfighter cobb vance just seems like one of those car guys he seems like the guy that was talking about huge car guy and then clem from the desert comes a stranger we see and with the heat waves so it's a little

bit blurry at first just a figure coming with a trench coat and a cowboy hat and immediately this is when some people might have seen i put out a little reaction video it was like five seconds i tried not to spoil anything and it was just me i was shocked you know i took my phone out immediately because i said oh from the desert is coming a stranger he's got a trench coat and a cowboy hat can only be one man. And it was my number one hope for this series going in. We got it. Live action. Cad Bane for the first time ever.

He looked bad-ass. He looked scary to be honest. And he was exactly as I want him to be. I look back at my tweet where I said I wanted him and our guy, Nathan Hurst hit me up and he said, how would you want him done? And I said, as much practical as possible.

If you want to do facial expression cg you can do that and that's exactly how they did him so like i felt like i got all of my wishes in one here was the original voice actor i think his name is cory baker that did the voice just fucking awesome and he says whatever fett is paying you will match and he has that line where he says the tattooing belongs to the syndicate which is like oh fucking badass And the deputy comes out like a hard-o during their face off to where he's like, we'll match whatever Boba Fett's paying you. Deputy comes out.

He's like, Marshall's not for sale. You know that we ain't for sale. And it's like, go inside. You fucking idiot. This guy's going to kill you. And he fucking did kill him,

which deserving. I'm not going to lie. They have this old Western standoff, which was the perfect way to introduce Cad Bane. Obviously, he's the Western character. He's based off a character from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. It was intense. When they're cutting to all the different shots and all of the people looking out of their windows and we're going for our gun now.

It was just badass. And as soon as the deputy, not Cobb Vanth, I think he's the first one that kind of pulls for a gun. Our guy Cad Bane shoots Cobb Vanth in kind of the shoulder. So I think he's okay. I think he'll be in the next episode. My prediction is that the cyberpunk kids will fix him up, bring him to our guy Thundercat, give him maybe a robot arm. Maybe he'll look like a Mortal Kombat character,

like Jax or something. And he kills the deputy. He fucking fires in on him. He's like, fuck you, dude. He fucking shoots him a ton. He gives the town another threat. And he walks out of there. He walks out like Bobby Mercer in Four Brothers.

I texted Trent. He just walks out from the snow. And you're like, where the fuck did you come from, dude? That's how he walked out in the beginning. An amazing, amazing introduction to Cad Bane, in my opinion. What do you think about it? I loved it. And listen, for the people that are listening, watching, whatever it may be may be and are like who the fuck is that blue guy with the red eyes

cowboy guy yeah I didn't even mention he's from the the Clone Wars he's from the animated series the Bad Batch he's also my favorite character they ever introduced in any of the animated series he's just a western bounty hunter badass and the only reason I know him is because we watch Bad Batch. Robbie and I did recaps with Ken Jack, and it was my first time ever diving into the cartoons. And I saw him at the first second. I remember going to the pocketbook. I love that fucking guy. I don't know who he is, but he's fucking awesome.

And let me tell you, listener, viewer who doesn't know who he is. Cad Bane is number one in the bounty hunter power rankings. This dude is just like, no, it's like, oh, Boba Fett. He's the is number one in the bounty hunter power rankings this dude is just like no it's like like oh boba fett he's the baddest dude in the galaxy no this guy is the real guy he's the guy boba fett checks under his bed before he goes to sleep right like this yeah he beat boba fett in a like he's the reason he's in like the in the unused clone wars arc which like is kind of still canon because so he gets into uh duel with Boba Fett, kind of like this Western standoff, and he puts a dent

in Boba's helmet, and Boba shoots him in the head, and then they were saying that's maybe not canon, because it never officially came out, but then in the Bad Batch, we see Cad Bane has like a metal plate over the head where Boba supposedly shot him, so, like, it might be canon still, and he's got it out for Boba Fett, he says

Boba Fett is a cold-blooded killer who worked with the Empire, which is like, he's got it out for Boba Fett. He says Boba Fett is a cold blooded killer who worked with the Empire. She's like, he's got a fucking point. Like Boba Fett just did some drugs. And now he's like expecting everyone to think he's the most cool guy in the galaxy. You were a cold blooded killer for a bit. You were going after a guy Han Solo. So Cad Bane, like as much as he's a villain, he's a villain with some decent motivation so far. Yeah.

And that's the thing. Like certain points of view, right? Like fucking Obi-Wi-wan did you know a little bit of gray in the universe not black or white and like it's it's hard to argue that's like he went abroad for a semester and he thinks he's different but just because he sits in that flesh back the tank and fucking thinks that shit that doesn't make sense because that timeline's all done but in terms of the way they introduced him i saw cabane and I knew my guy Cobb Vance was on the other end, and I just said, fuck, I got to deal with Cabane now.

And I like both of these guys, but I knew Cobb Vance wasn't walking away the victor there. No, you got to think about it in wrestling terms, and you're like, someone that's debuting isn't losing their first match. You know, like, you got to put this guy over and make him out to be a threat. So yeah, that was tough.

And I love Cobb Vanth. I'm glad that he did get shot in the shoulder. It would have been obviously devastating and made out Cad Bane to be one of the biggest, baddest villains in the new galaxy if he would have killed him in that moment. But I want more Timothy Oliphant. I'm selfish in that way.

Yeah. And like, I think the assistant deputy, whatever you want to call him, he could be the body count that he racks up. And big time Bobby Carnevale's son vibes off of that guy too. That's the kind of – I was like, fuck this. As soon as he gets here, I'm going to fucking hate that guy. And then I do not – I'm going to make a little prediction now just because it ties into this.

I feel like the bartender is going to be the one trying to make calls here with Cobb Vanth is like on the mend. And you can tell this guy wants no part of being part of this war here so I could see him being a problem for either Cobb Vanth or just the general cause of Boba Fett here because I just feel like he's going to probably be like we're a free town we can't be dealing with these people it's like yo you are not free town that you are fucking syndicate town right now did you hear what this guy and I actually thought about it too. And I was like, damn, imagine living in like, you know, a place in like Mexico where they say the cartel runs the town.

You must just feel so fucking hopeless. It's terrifying. And it was in a galaxy far, far, a galaxy a long time ago, far, far away. And I was still fucking terrified. So A plus introduction to the guy. The teeth were the thing that really stood out they nailed the eyes and there's only so much you could do you're going cartoon to like live action and then you said like the voice and everything um i'm very excited not only for the next episode

but just now having him in the mix i think it's gonna be a lot of fun i mean number one bounty hunter in the universe we're dealing with here number one in the i think like it's like in like the little parentheses it's like he got all 40 votes no one else got votes from what i can from what i can gather is that a fair point babo no it is he's defeated jedi he's got like a shock tool that he's shocked obi-wan with in the past he's stolen holocrons from the jedi temple he's stolen young padawans before that was like one of his first arcs he was introduced in and people were saying is that somehow connected to baby yoda because he's a young padawan now does he have some oh i don't like that yeah he was trying to get four sensitive uh users that were like in their early stages so there's a lot of

scary stuff that could go on with cad bane i'm excited for all of it he even had a duel with fennec shandon the bad batch over omega so like he knows omega he knows about boba fett's fucking unaltered colonyoning maybe doesn't know that that is what omega is but geez there's a lot of history that they could go into with that and it's just more of what we've kind of said in the past with the clone wars where dave filoni and john faberow can now use that material and that content almost like marvel uses comics to put together their movies so you could take the things that worked the best the characters that people love the most, and then just

put a live action twist on them and make it to where it fits in this universe. And that's exactly what they're doing so far. So all in on Cad Bane. And I don't know if he's the big bad, but he certainly could be. He could be the guy running the Pike Syndicate in my mind. He's as big a character that I think that would be satisfying.

If this upcoming battle was on the Barstool Sportsbook, the numbers just drop. The Pike Syndicate looks pretty fucking good. It's like minus 200 right now. And I don't know. The ESPN win probability or whatever is like, yeah, it's tough. And poor Boba's like, I can't even start my show.

Now I got Cad motherfucking Bane I got to deal with here, who he obviously has history with, so he knows about him. God damn, this is a real problem for our guy Boba. He does not stop taking L's. But yeah, this is exciting all around. Speaking of L's, speaking of things that are tough for Boba, his favorite bar is about to be decimated. We see two pikes walk into the sanctuary, Jennifer Beals' bar.

Max Rebo has the night off. I do want to point that out immediately. Nobody worry. Nobody have any heart attacks because I watched the scene back multiple times. And I said, he's nowhere in this. That had to be an on purpose decision to remove him from that. I don't want to say this, Bob. And I'm really sorry.

I'm sorry to all the fans out there. I'm putting Max Rebo on the sus list. I'm sorry. All right. Listen, hear me out. Max Rebo in like, what, like three years or two years has had two cataclysmic events occur in places he worked. And both times he avoided it. Do you think he's the one telling him like,

listen, this is what you got to do. These are the breaches in security. You know what it is? Listen, i'll tell you exactly what it is i think max rebo is the frank sinatra of the star wars universe and i think when the italian mob wants to bomb carbone but they hear frank sinatra is going to be there they're like listen uh we're not going to kill frank though we need frank for his music so i mean why don't you give a call to max rebo's management and tell him it would be in his best interest to call in sick. You know, the mob gave him one of those calls.

And he was like, all right, Max Rebo, that's how he survives. He's like, listen, I'll move on to Mos Eisley tonight. The Star Wars version of Grandpa Della Bella made that call. Yes, exactly. It's like, no, let's go out, me and you, you take the night off tonight. We're going to go watch, you know, some hoops or something like that. Watch whatever the fucking like those, the Gamorrerean guard there's a good pod race on tonight yeah three potteries let's go pod racing max two for two like if if this happens again max that's three

for three once is a coincidence twice or whatever this is it's a little sus it's a little i'm watching dexter new blood now and it is a little bit like i'm getting into all the investigations where it's like, well, why weren't you there? Is there a motivation? When you're telling me two cataclysmic bombs going off, Jabba's Palace and the Sanctuary, he wasn't there for either. That is tough. But a pretty shocking moment. And I was thinking, not during this episode necessarily, but I was thinking like over the course of the week, like why did they introduce the Sanctuary? Why did they introduce Jennifer Beals' character?

Like is that just for exposition? Is that just for a place so we could see like, oh, Boba is like becoming friends with the town? This is why. They made us start to like all these characters. They made us start to get comfortable. And now they bomb it. If I wasn't so sure or have such a good feeling that Cobb Vanth wasn't dead, I would be devastated right now. Because I'll tell you, Bob,

I basically admitted it a couple episodes ago. I was in love. I fell in love with Jennifer Real's character by the end there. Yeah, Garth of... Yeah, I was fucking... I fell hard for her. So I am down bad just

seeing all that shit going down, man. She is big dead right now. She was, like, a good, like, fair bar owner or whatever the fuck you want to call her. She was willing to wipe the debts clean to keep blood off the ground, all that kind of stuff. I bond to myself. It was not fucking cool. And so I am in a real pickle here right now because I love Cad Bane so much. I hate the Pikes.

But this is a real problem here, man. That was fucking no bueno. because I love Cad Bane so much. I hate the Pikes, but this is a real problem here, man. That was fucking no-brainer. I think they took Max Rebo out too, just because they're like, listen, if we take out Max, there's going to be fury. They don't want to make Cad Bane go. They're like, Luke might show up if we take out Max. Yeah. Maybe we should have a moment of silence for Garza Fwip.

What do you think about that? Yes, yes. All right. um maybe we should have a moment of silence for garcia flip what do you think about that yes yes all right and then in the final scene of the episode we see luke reveal the gift that the mandalorian brought grogu which is chainmail beskar armor for him pretty badass i assume it's to be worn under the robe and i said that to my girlfriend i said oh imagine he wears that under the robe and she said i think it'd be hilarious if he just wore it as is and i and no robe and i that cracked me up as well the visual of that like it was like he would look like a little knight exactly yeah he looked like a little knight um that just made me laugh and he also reveals now

he says you know you could take this or now the jedi are making a fucking trade offer for grogu right now the hottest free agent in the game and he's like we can give you this lightsaber fucking lights it up and it's not just any lightsaber clem it is a tiny lightsaber it is green for grogu but it was also green for jedi master yoda this is yoda's own lightsaber which just fucking sweetens the pot so much more like initially you kind of see where it's going you're like oh shit the jedi is a pretty strict religion especially at this point and that's one of the things in the sequels trilogy that they looked back on and they said luke was like the jedi were too strict that was one of our biggest faults which i liked that they're kind of like reassuring that narrative

in this you go they're gonna give her the given the option you gotta go with the mandalorian right gotta go with the mandalorian and then luke says says this is Yoda's lightsaber and you're like oh but how can you not take that though it's a good offer good offer it was fucked up is what it was listen I love Luke I'm a fucking Jedi guy you know saves the day multiple times in the original trilogy all that kind of stuff to make this little fucking kid choose between a sweet ass lightsaber and armor is just fucking one of the sweetest lightsabers ever yeah and yeah it's like we're dealing with yoda it's game used it's fucking you're you know one of your guys you know which has to mean something it's like fucking the this is where they wrote the starstip bingo

banner right it's like you're you know the first ever you know american flag ever made or you get that like basically luke is like lightsaber versus armor like listen we've played role-playing games before buying armor is the most boring fucking part of the like all right i'll just take whatever the most expensive is it saves the most like hit points whatever the fuck it may be. That shit is lame. It's basically like choosing, alright, you have a, like, basically Luke is like the dad, and then Mando was the old mom. Actually, you know what? I'm gonna make Mando the dad, because he was pretty shitty in terms of being a parent.

And the mom is kind of the more loving one with Luke. And Luke is like, listen, your dad, he got you clothes. Your mom got you the new fucking Nintendo system. Which one do you want? And it's basically like, how is he, how is little baby yo going to choose clothes like this little sweater? But it's like, you get to wear it as opposed to like Chuck E. Cheese with dad. You know, he brings you to these cool places.

Okay. Bob, which one would you choose? The Nintendo? Nintendo 64. I don't see anyone doing the nintendo 64 through the sweater sienna is seven years old she just turned seven she already rolls her eyes at fucking clothes and and she like two years ago she would freak out when she got socks whether she got underwear or sweaters you fucking get the so i i have to say i did not like that now i do think i'm with

you if you're grogu what are you picking i think he's gonna but now you're choosing the so i i have to say i did not like that now i do think i'm with you if you're grogu what are you picking i think he's gonna but now you're choosing the person as much as you are the president so i will say luke kelton too the the thing that also is like is luke almost makes it fair and offering for the the mandalorian side and saying like if you pick jedi you might not ever see that guy ever again because you live a very long time and for other people that's you know an entire lifetime is a short time for you so he's at least fair in that he's not like stacking the deck completely he's like you can pick this if you want to see this dude like i get that you're conflicted so it's like he shouldn't have been as strict he should be like listen i get that this maybe isn't for you you tried it out i'm proud of you i'm glad that i

could show you a few things take this this fucking lightsaber. Take this armor for protection. Use it smartly. Listen to your dad. Go have fun. But they're strict, and that's why the Jedi Order fucking fell apart. And that's why Baby Yo is lucky. Because basically, Luke has to

become the mom from Boogie Nights, who's a complete bitch. I gotta see that. Oh yeah, you gotta see that, Bob. And that's a little harsh i she's one of my least favorite characters in the world the mom from below is up there as well she's just a strict mom i'm not gonna i'm not gonna call luke the mom from i i rescind my previous because that was really fun she's just like an evil woman but basically mando's the cool dad he's like yeah you want to smoke a little yeah you want to drink a little sip of my beer he lets you do do that. He takes you to Chuck E. Cheese, right? Where Luke is like, you're not going to Chuck E. Cheese.

You know, that pizza is not good enough quality. There's germs, yeah. Yeah, there's germs. And Luke makes you fucking cook the meal, wash the plates, all that kind of stuff. This is turning into Luke Skywalker slander. And I do not enjoy doing it, but it's the truth. I know, we don't mean to.

We don't mean, but that's just how the Jedi order is. That's the fact. Yeah, if it was like, here, take this lightsaber and hang out with me at this really sweet planet or go hang out with the armor. Baby. Yo chooses Luke a thousand times out of a thousand, but Mandel's the cool dad. Baby. Yo saw him take off the mask. He knew that was a big deal.

So that is going to be the reason he's going to go. And this was my take. I wanted to have that got me really excited about the future. Jedi are awesome. They have the force. They can do all this kind of stuff. Even like Sith are awesome because they can function up with the Force. Mandalorians are awesome because they have this armor. They have all

these weapons. Baby Yo is going to have fucking armor. He's going to probably have a sweet ass mask, which I don't want to paint that beautiful face behind a mask, but if he does, he can do that. And he's already Force sensitive. He's already crushing shit. he's doing fucking the cool stuff he's making stuff float he's learning how to jump we are going to have

a force sensitive mandalorian and that shit that's how you get to be called the mandalorian is that you are fucking shit up with the force and you're cute as a button underneath your little chain mail fucking armoring your little helmet i am fucking excited for baby i love that prediction i love it and i agree with you and i think maybe that was why the armor also brought up the first person to wield the dark saber was both a jedi and a mandalorian she said that last week just reassured us that that could exist right so it's like if you get a little bit of all three that's baby yo right there and can baby yo like wield it with the force because there's no way those little i know it's

heavy it's fucking heavy man yeah it's heavy it's big and you know we know what yoda looked like as a full-grown whatever they are do we know what kind of no there's unnamed species yeah yeah so little part of the reason why he gets the name baby yo because there's you know nothing else to call him at that point but it's also like if baby yo takes the the armor we see he gave up the jedi order for the mandalorian and the mandalorian gave up the mandalorian way for baby yoda they gave it up for each other he gave up the helmet to save him right so it's like that's kind of a nice friendship thing as well there that's bros being dudes like i said a couple bad boys just fucking doing what they want to do. Fucking shit up in a galaxy far, far away. I love them.

Let's get into some fan predictions. So instead of questions, listener questions this week, I put out the call for predictions because we don't know what the fuck's going to happen in the finale. It's impossible to predict. So I said, let's see what the people think is going to happen. So I got some of my favorites. I pulled some of them up. Leave your your predictions in the comments of the YouTube video. If you're watching as well, if you didn't put it on Twitter, because we always read the comments. We reply to those. your predictions in the comments of the youtube video if you're watching as well if you didn't put it on twitter because we always read the comments we reply to those

leave them in the replies we'll see those definitely subscribe thumbs up all that kind of stuff as well as the comments yeah the first of which is both like a prediction and a question from aaron jesse the gorilla guy on twitter he works at a gorilla zoo he in the gorilla section great guy and he says there's no way the show ends next week, right? Does it lead into the Mandalorian next show? Or does the next season go into Book of Boba Fett? Or does it go into Book of Boba Fett season two? They can't do the whole war in one episode, right?

So this is both kind of a prediction and a question. And it goes into one of my predictions about next week, which is that next week's episode, the finale will be over an hour long. I think there's just too much to recap in under an hour and it would worry me a little bit if i upload a disney plus at three in the morning and it said like 40 minutes because then i'd be like okay well how are you wrapping this stuff up now i think there is a chance that we don't get the war in this i think the war could be a mandalorian season three big thing would i be a little disappointed if we didn't get at least a little bit of course i want to see boba riding

that rancor which nathan hurst our guy wrote in that that was his prediction he said give me boba riding that rancor um but i think there's a chance that this could lead into the mandalorian season three so yeah i feel like it almost has to now right if mando is going to show back if mando's show back up and it feels like there's still going to be enough shit going on. We have Cad Bane in the equation now. Just like getting all these people back on screen and making their mark. I feel like that's going to take, that's going to give us

the whole hour, right? Actually, you know what? I'll give you my prediction. Secret episode. We're going to be like, oh man there's so many loose ends. Boom. They hit us with another episode. I was waiting for that. Yeah. This one from Irby. man, there's so many loose ends. Boom, they hit us with another episode. I was waiting for that, yeah. Yeah, of course. This one from Irby.

He says, I don't think this is necessarily going to happen in the finale, but I would bet the house on Baby Yo eventually wielding the Darksaber, as we said. And he said, finale prediction, Ahsoka comes to help Boba and Mando because they simply don't have enough people right now and a Jedi would come in handy. That could be interesting also.

If Grogu chooses the Mandalorianorian if he chooses the armor is luke just gonna like say hop in the x-wing and fly him to tatooine and drop him off i don't know so could luke show up again i don't that's a possibility right yeah like do they have to meet it like listen i'll meet you at the rest stop off of the highway like it's like the custody thing or here's the question for you do we see baby yoda grogu in the naboo starfighter bubble by the end of this yes i feel like that has been hinted so much even the way they stay framed some stuff where they say like grogu and it's like right in the middle of the thing so i will say maybe that is like our final like uh scene or a final shot before we head to mando season three which is basically the last two episodes right yeah i would love a post-credit

scene that's another thing that like um i don't know if it's necessarily a prediction as much as it is a hope but i loved as we talked about one of boba fett's coolest moments was killing bib fortuna and taking the throne yes that as a post-credit scene was fucking badass. Just made us more excited for the next year of Star Wars content. Give us another one that sets up Mando season three. If you got Mando on set, why not? Right? Yeah.

And then also do another scene where even if the Boba stuff is wrapped up, give Boba another post-credit scene and make it awesome. And then I'll just like five years from now, I'll all remember from the book of polka was him going on the throne which was like an a plus moment and then whatever this post-credit scene is like oh yeah that was fine and we had some mando stuff along there as well and you know everything will be like that'll get rid of all any bad taste that's in people's mouths and i wanted to make this point too those credits with the fucking music playing

in the background and i love how they kept the drawings in, man. It gets me like, I watch that. If you're not going to do post-credits every single episode, just keep that artwork coming. I fucking love it. You can do it. I watch till the end every week because of that. Yeah, me too.

This one just made me laugh. It's from Connor Cahill and he wrote predictions. A throat rip from Kersantan, Cad Bane throat rip, Boba ripping someone's throat out and Grogu force choke someone followed by a major throat rip from Kersantan, Cad Bane throat rip, Boba ripping someone's throat out, and Grogu force choke someone, followed by a major throat rip. I'm in. A bit disturbing,

but funny. And what was the name here? Connor Cahill. Connor, we're going to avoid you. If there's a throat rip in the finale, he's going to lose his shit, ain't he? Connor Cahill is going to get Basin Boy of the Week. If that fucking series, if that happens, calling throat rips left and right.

I mean, that would be like a Robert Rodriguez, gory throat rip poem, something like that. Yeah. I need to see this now. And it's the K-Man's going to do it, right? Like if you're going to get a throat rip. The K-Man or maybe a Gamorrean Guard. One of those guys comes up big they're savages right fuck i forgot my prediction that the gamorrean guards are gonna have themselves a moment they have to do it now i didn't realize

we're getting two mandalorian episodes in the middle of the fucking thing i need that to happen in the finale now shit oh yeah that would be fuck i hope big k doesn't turn us and then rip out one of the gamorrean throat rips a gamor camorian guard because that's a that's in the realm of possibilities too i feel at this point i think it is as well the next prediction is from our guy sam lauderdale former basement boy of the week and he says this is this is a simple prediction shortened to the point but i was like oh yeah i almost forgot about that that could happen he said the huts are going to come in with more manpower now that could happen right what if the huts are going to come in with more manpower. Now that could happen, right?

What if the Hutts come in with some of the former bounty hunters that Jabba had employed that were still like friendly with the family that liked the way Jabba treated them? I think the Hutts twins could come in big at the end. They didn't like the Pike Syndicate. They also said they didn't want war. So I don't know. They would have to pull like a Han Solo where they swoop in at the end. Weren't we told that the Jabba the Huts girl cousin is the vibe of 2020 or whatever the fuck that stupid headline was.

I better see the Huts coming back and throwing their considerable weight around. With their, with their like chickens to pat off their sweat. Yeah, exactly. I just love that they were fanning themselves down. I would really like,

God, there's so much shit that has to happen. When Ken Jack had the balls to lead, have me lead off the prediction of the space. I'm like, Ken Jack, those down i i would really like god there's so much shit that has to happen when ken jack had the balls to lead have me lead off the prediction of the space i'm like ken jack i don't know what fucking show we're gonna see tomorrow could be the first episode of obi-wan for all we know they're fucking throwing us they're keeping us on balance this entire time um i i'd like to see the huts because i i feel like the huts don't lend themselves to pry a few of the future projects that are up next so like let them get their little two minutes in here at some point

it'll be awesome we just had like 10 villains and they're all just doing fucked up shit i guess getting their their now i'm thinking about it if obi-wan's gonna be on tattooing job is alive at that point he could have a meeting with java himself. That could be kind of cool. I also really, really heavily think Kersantan will be in the Obi-Wan show. I think we'll see them fight and we'll see Obi-Wan give him that scar. I also have to shout out my guy, Sam Lauderdale, because he's like diehard Team ZD fan.

And spoiler alert for the Dozen All-Star game for people who haven't seen it yet. So if you haven't seen it yet, skip forward one minute. Oh, I think I know where this is going. I haven skip forward one minute oh i think i know where this is going i haven't even watched it i think i know where this is going all-star game mvp clem vp this guy give me the bell oh shit i thought you were gonna say did you call sam lauderdale for a phone a friend no he did well i i know that he's like one of your people in the rotation yeah he's in the rotation for – but with the All-Star game,

I can't throw a phone a friend out there when I have a whole team of All-Stars. So I was like, I don't remember if we got the – oh, we did. Spoiler alert, I said as well, we got the fucking – I think we might have stolen one as well. We fucking murdered him, and I got voted MVP. It was the proudest moment of my basketball career. I'm very proud of you. You were teammates with Coley, a honker, right?

Yeah, fellow honker. So that's me for the honkers. And Roan? Was Roan on your team as well? Yes, yes. Pop punk member. I mean, this was Robbie's team. Alliances.

My favorite team in the world right here. Yeah. Who was the fourth member of your team? Tommy, who then got traded for Fran mid-game. Mid-game? Yeah. So Tommy got DL. It got wild. So if you haven't watched the All-Star game, you guys got traded for Fran mid-game. Mid-game? Yeah. So Tommy got DL. It got wild.

So if you haven't watched the All-Star game, you guys got it spoiled for you. But there's some really good- We warned him. We warned him about the spoilers. The next prediction comes from Patrick Wynum. I don't know how you say that. I'm going to say both.

So hopefully I cover both. And this is, he has two predictions that were kind of like constant throughout the series people were hoping for this and i think it could still happen considering how much happened in the last episode he said one or all of bosk ig88 and dengar show up could happen right or he said maybe kira is pulling the strings of tattooing still a possibility crimson dawn i wouldn't rule them out even though cad bane appears to be maybe at the top of the pike syndicate for now they could hit us with another big shocker cliffhanger with kira's actually pulling the strings i don't know do we know who's is dave

filoni doing the next episode too i don't i don't know who's doing the next episode it might be robert rodriguez again just to finish it out i don't I I'm not sure I thought Filoni was only doing the one though okay um because if if Filoni was doing another one I'd be like yeah that's all going to happen and then some because he just brings out the fucking gun and just and just and shout out Filoni like this was I think his only second maybe third thing he ever directed in live action like he really learned how to do some good directing quick because that western shootout the way he shot that was amazing the way he introduces characters even the way that luke was treated in this episode was like yes just give dave filoni the keys to everything we might have some merch coming out soon by the way not we put out the call to our merch team and uh it's going

to be produced i hope i haven't we haven't heard back so i don't know if that was yeah i don't know what the fuck is this? We did send it out today at a company party, so I was like, all right. Yeah, maybe. Yeah, that's fair. We'll see. I will say. All right.

Tweet me and Bob, hashtag WeWantFaloni. If you guys want, basically, we did the Kevin Feige shirts where it said Kevin Feige and the Marvel team. If you want just Dave Faloni in the star wars font has tweeted us and if we had a certain number i don't know what the number is going to be if i feel like there's enough of a like you know desire for it we will force those out as well but i can't i have a hard time asking for multiple dave filoni shirts from the merch team and then we sell three of them and then it's like yeah and then it's like i did that. I think I might've mentioned it on the show when JJ Abrams got reinstated as

director of episode nine. We're not reinstated when Colin Trevorrow pulled out and then they put in JJ Abrams. I was stoked because I love JJ and I put on shirts that said in the return of the Jedi logo, it said return of the JJ, which I thought was fucking brilliant. And I think we sold three shirts.

Now hardest to sell three shirts on barstoolsports.com. This guy did it three, three, exactly three. Shout out to the three of you that exist. Those are the most rare. My mom's basement shirts in existence. That was basically the first NFT.

Yeah. Three of three right there. And the final prediction we got is from one of our longtime listeners and a friend of the program, star Wars prequel, Stan writes in all the time. And it's a great prediction. He says, surprise, Mephisto cameo. Oh, from one of our longtime listeners and a friend of the program, Star Wars prequel Stan, writes in all the time. And it's a great prediction.

He says, surprise Mephisto cameo. Oh, yes, there we go. You know I had to work it in there. Even though it's not Marvel. What if Mephisto shows up? Who knows? You tell me prequel Stan writes in and then he throws a fucking Marvel reference. Mind blown.

I know you thought I was going to say like big Padres to finish it. No, not a prequel thing. He said Mephisto. I like that as an ending. As sick and twisted as it is, reference mind blown i know you thought i was gonna say like big padres to finish it no not a prequel thing he said mephisto i liked that as an ending as sick and twisted as it is i kind of need to have a little more order 66 on me either whether it's next episode or whether it's we gotta see who saved grogu who's that's true is it obi-wan is that the big tease for like the obi-wan series as we see ewan mcgregor come in come young one i don't know but then like did he drop him off right before fighting on mustafar who knows there's a lot of questions

that have to be answered again then like how did you know i guess they're saying yoda went back and got his own lightsaber and then luke took it from the storage unit and gave it when he got the call so there's a lot of things another thing too for the first time in a little bit, I'm very confident that these answers are already out there in the universe. Like, I think they have this shit planned and I think they know where they're going. It's a nice feeling. You know why,

Bob? Cause they went down the road to staples and they bought themselves a fucking whiteboard. And now we have a fucking, like a whole entire series that is going to be planned out. What a fucking crazy thought for a billion-dollar franchise. It's intertwined with the Bad Batches going into the cloning stuff. They're bringing in Cad Bane.

Everything feels like it's clicking into place like a puzzle at this point with the Star Wars universe. And I was talking to Hank about it. Hank texted me after he watched. He said that might have been the greatest Star Wars anything I ever saw. And that's what a lot of people are saying about this. I said if you watched last episode into this one one of the best star wars movies out there this is making me think and of course i always want star wars movies to be out there but we went from having only star wars movies to me thinking maybe star wars is a tv show maybe that's their

best medium like it's it's crazy that in only a few years with the mandalorian and this they've made me think that. And of course, I don't want Star Wars movies to never exist. But if they never did and they had TV shows like this every year, I think I'd be okay. Yeah, I think we'd be okay. I think they'd be okay in the long run. And also, I had to shout out Bryce Dallas Howard. I don't think we mentioned it last week.

Yeah, we forgot to mention that. Give her whatever she wants to do in the Star Wars universe. I would roll a whiteboard into her house and say, write down what you want to do, and we will give you the budget to do it because she has crushed every episode she's done. We'll fit it into whatever time we have. We'll put that whiteboard in the middle of two other whiteboards that have some shit going on. Yeah, A-plus all around. So excited. Again, I have no idea what's going to happen in this finale i gotta re-listen to our first episode and be like where our thoughts were our predictions yeah
