Just stupid boys making basement noise in the basement.
Yeah, yeah.
Hello there, and welcome back to My Mom's Basement, presented by 3G in Barstool Sports.
I am your host, Robbie Fox.
With me today, as always, is my co-pilot and my co-host, Clem.
We are here to talk about Obi-Wan Kenobi, Episode 4, Part 4, Chapter 4.
I think they just used part in Obi-Wan to make it less confusing on like,
if you look up Obi-Wan Episode 3, people are like, you're getting Revenge of the Sith results.
I actually made a note of this.
This is the first time I've noticed it because we had the double episodes of the first one,
so you're not looking at the titles and stuff like that.
And then last week, I don't know, it's just the first week so I wasn't thinking and this week I go oh we're doing parts so it's uh chapter with Mandalorian we're fancy
pants with the Mandalorian obviously it's episodes with the uh like you said the the Skywalker saga
and now we're parts with Obi-Wan Obi--Wan part four, about 35 minutes, 35-ish minutes.
Shortest, yeah.
Shocking.
And I'm going to tell you, I'm fine with it being 35-ish minutes
because I thought it was by far the worst episode of the series so far.
Oh, wow.
Really?
I was not very happy with this episode, Bob.
I was not very happy.
And I think I would imagine we're going to have some listeners who agree.
I imagine there's some listeners who are going to think it's perfectly fine.
I don't even think of like maybe episode one would compare.
There was a couple parts where I was just like, I will not say the word cringe.
Wow.
I'm excited to get into this because I was just talking to Jeff D. Lowe about it.
And I was like, you know what?
It was a slower episode, especially following last week when you bring in Vader and all of that.
It was a slower episode, but I was like, I didn't think there were any moments that people were going to pick apart in this one.
I picked apart one already.
It's on my TikTok.
We're going to try.
We had a meeting.
We're doing brain meetings with big brains here at Barstool.
We're trying to grow the brand here.
And we're going to maybe do My Mom's Base with TikTok, My Mom's Base with Facebook.
Again, just plugging more shit.'ve already we were plugging the youtube obviously so a couple
more things to plug but we were told to do that and i already uh practice it uh on the club report
tiktok uh a scene that we'll get into later so all right let's get right into the episode it
begins with a flash bhakta that was the first note i was like oh my god flash bhakta tank you
threw obi-wan in the
tank because he's got his burnt arm and whatnot spoilers by the way spoilers for episode four
he's got the burnt arm from last week and he does have kind of flashbacks it was flashbacks in the
same way that i said they should do them earlier on in the series though where i was like if you're
going to do them just make it short 30 second you know a quick flash here quick flash there he was
not thinking back to like necessarily something so far in the past.
It was just the fight he was thinking of.
And you go back and forth between Anakin and Obi-Wan.
They're both thinking about it in their respective tanks.
When I saw that, I was like, oh, goddamn flashback to tanks.
And then we actually had flashback to this.
And then we had doing flashback to tanks with these two guys.
And at one point i saw the arm
cut off and i didn't realize they had shown vader at that point i'm like wait did obi-wan get his
hand cut off i was so confused for the same thing okay good so i'm not by myself which that's why i
love this podcast we talk it out and you realize that you're not by yourself on the things i think
confused a lot of people again uh last week with anakin in the robe i didn't notice it was him at
first this is the weird thing all right boba fett it scarred me a little bit the flashback obviously sounds like you need a flashback there
for your scars fucking mental scars however it would have actually been cool i think if we had
the flashbacks from you know clone wars era obi-wan and anakin i mean you're paying haven
christians and all this money let's fucking get some you know thorough little uh what was it like a little braid in his hair yeah we'll kind of get
some some old school obi-wan and anakin uh you know interactions so we didn't get that so in a
way i was actually a little disappointed with the flashback that we didn't get a flashback wow it's
come full circle i'm asking for more prequel content. How fucked up is that?
That is fucked up.
Pigs are flying right now.
We meet very quickly.
Obi-Wan kind of like swims out of the tank.
He's like, get me out of this thing.
And we meet Roken, Roken CEO, who is our new like Jedi youngling smuggler, I guess, if you will.
He's the guy who is he's one of the guys who is helping
smuggle jedis he was i think he was in the war maybe one of the rare human uh war veterans of
the clone wars because he calls obi-wan general as soon as he sees him he's very official he's
all right general he's like i'm not into this like whatever or you know what was he he wasn't
smuggling because he was he was like i'm not interested in this right general kenobi as he said this is o'shea jackson right we're talking about o'shea jackson yeah
yep uh okay so this is the first real issue i have he was like no fucking way obi-wan there
is no way i'm helping you out and he's like yeah but o'shea these guys are really bad i'm in
honestly i thought i missed something i thought there was a scene deleted i
like rewound because my internet was a little choppy it was basically hq's internet and he was
fucking you know all hands on deck by the end of it i just couldn't believe it i just thought it
was it was very weird however the thing where they say it's a water moon water moon cool idea for
like uh you know you think rock moons for the most part obviously we have our forest moon at endor with our little fuzzy palsy ewoks water moon cool idea i dug that do you think the
final obi-wan vader battle will be on this water moon i thought about this that this episode because
i was like what if you do a parallel like poetry it rhymes the first fight was in fire and lava
and whatnot would the second fight be in water could that be a cool way to go back and forth i could dig with i could dig that i don't think we'll have ice if we have ice it has to be
at hoth right because every fucking video game ever would end up doing the battle of hoth uh
hoth or hoth how about hoth right i think i said hoth yeah okay as long as i don't i think you
could say either though that's like you know they say the falcon the falcon sometimes they even throw
that in there which is like like, wait a minute.
That's a different word, but weird pronunciations.
What do you call Luigi's brother?
The video game.
Oh, Mario.
Yeah.
I'm a Mario guy.
This is a Northeast thing though.
We will get killed.
People say Mario.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
As long as we're on the same page with that, me and Bob, that's all that matters.
But I could kind of see like the water moon.
I'm trying to think of a better place where that final fight could take place.
I could sit back on Mustafa again.
Like I could see that also happening.
Like if they're saying,
okay,
Obi-Wan has to go fight Vader.
If he's bringing the fight to him this time,
maybe he fights him at his own castle.
Yeah.
It gets home court advantage and everything.
That would be interesting.
I would love it almost if it was back in Naboo or something,
but I just don't,
it would be very,
they'd just be shoving Naboo in,
you know,
around a square peg into a round hole to get, bring the Naboo or something, but I just don't they would be very, they'd just be shoving Naboo in, you know, around a
square peg into a round hole to get, bring the
Naboo vibes back to it. I do love
Naboo though, I'm with you there. That's my favorite
prequel planet. Is it?
Number one prequel planet. Number
one. Well, you guys tuned in today, didn't you get
Bob's favorite? If I could live anywhere in the Star Wars
universe, Naboo. Yeah, Coastline. That's the
spot. I mean, Coruscant's nice,
but it's got the underbelly
you don't want the underbelly of course no no i'm very i don't have any underbellies up here
north of the wall that's like my overbellies o'shea jackson playing roken is the rare first
husband of a jedi i call him first husband the kind of like first lady um his wife i don't know
if it's a thing but he and say he he episode, like, oh, you know, my wife passed and I think it's insinuated that she was a Jedi.
So maybe that's part of the reason why he is looking to help Obi-Wan.
It's a thing now.
I'm telling you right now, we're making it a thing.
He's the first husband.
Just as Anakin was the first, or no, Padme was the first woman to Anakin once upon a time.
Correct.
Well, he was also kind of the first husband as well because she was the first woman to anakin once upon a time correct which well he was also he was also
kind of the first husband as well because she was the politician that's oh man double they were
double first it was never gonna last you can't be a double person it's not gonna last and someone
tweeted us this week they're like can we just call a padme for being basically a pedophile
and coming after this little kid and kind of a little licorice pizza yeah yeah she definitely
problematic problematic
padme is what we're gonna call her for now also i want to stay as i'm going through the episode i
may get details or facts wrong because i only watched it once usually i watched the episode
twice before we do a recap i'm going to san diego so we're recording this a little early
i'm watching it once on 3 a.m brain and i was pretty tired i thought it was a good episode
though um tala says at one
point we'll find out soon enough won't we about like her own mission is she going to survive or
whatever just the way she said it i was like that sounds like a death sentence from tala
i think tala is going to die on this mission what's the opposite of plot armor plot suicide
they're like why would you say that we're a tv show you're going to die now her plot armor is
that weird spiked armor that they would put people in the spiked tomb.
It was like a torture chamber.
That's her plot armor.
Can I also just say this too?
I know they talk about it.
Fortress Inquisitoris.
That is the most ridiculous name.
And I know Star Wars is famous for ridiculous names.
That's usually for people, characters.
The name of the place is Fortress Inquisitoris.
Fucking ridiculous. I don't think that's from this though i think that's from
fallen order or maybe some of the earlier universe stuff yeah this episode yeah i do love the look of
it though the underwater stuff the lighting when they're underwater i like the look of it it's very
different and we go there in the next scene because rva has Leia and she's interrogating her.
Not really torturing yet, but she's just super mean, just crazy mean to Leia.
She's like, nobody's coming for you.
They're all dead.
You're a worthless piece of shit, you little kid.
It's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, chill out.
And Leia uses the, do you know who my dad is?
And it's like, you think it's a senator?
Your dad is actually the badass motherfucker that can murder anyone with his thoughts. That was kind of funny how that worked out um but it's also really weird seeing
an inquisitor inquisitoring is that a word a 10 year old like it was just that was a very odd
scene to me i just thought that that entire sequence was very weird to me and also how
about further confirmation that the empire has handcuffs in every size yes
rogu size 10 year old little girl size normal size they're locking everybody up they don't care
that must have been the first thing in the budget once the emperor took over he's like we got to get
handcuffs for every size if we're going to take over this world we need to make sure all their
wrists won't be able to slip out it's crazy i'd love to see the budget the empire has and
handcuffs are clearly the first thing on the see the budget the empire has and handcuffs
were clearly the first thing on the list if they had less budget on handcuffs maybe they could have
patched up that hole in the death star the exhaust port exactly it's like sorry dude and you know
what like that's one of those things with the emperor where he was like i'm not budging on this
we need to have the handcuff budget has to hit everything and you know that's why well spoiler
it's why
he kind of died but didn't die and came back somehow he came back yeah um here we get a
double mission where obi-wan is going to get leia and tala is going into the inquisitorium
whatever you want to call it in her disguise again she doesn't know if it's going to get her
past she's almost like hey the fake id doesn't scan anymore but i'm going to try it anyway and she goes in and i love this scene
where she makes the guy call her sir now i've seen people did shit on this and they're like oh
it's gender terms norms i just thought it was a military thing her being like call me sir like
you better refer to me as sir and she does get past past him. Eventually, Obi-Wan gets to Leia.
And it was one of the cooler scenes just visually of the series so far.

When it's the dark room and she has a stormtrooper on either side of her
and you just see the blue lightsaber ignite, get those people out.
Even when he goes to go to the Inquisitorium,
he puts in the little breathing mask from the phantom menace that he
uses to go down to uh jar jar's little part of naboo oh my god i marked out for that i marked
out more for that little breathing thing than anything else in this episode i used to have
the action figures of them with the breathing things in so i actually put in my notes i said
obi-wan swimming gave me the phantom menace vibes even with like the big like creature swimming by oh yeah always a bigger fish yeah always a bigger fish exactly uh so i'm happy
to know that i was because i've seen probably phantom menace once in the last whatever years
it was with you on the lights kind of barstool stream but that underwater fort getting penetrated
by a old-fashioned swimming yeah just swim right in inquisitorium the inquisitorium sounds like a
like a wacky toy store at the mall that would have had like the little prank gum or oh yeah
and hand buzzers and whoopee cushions that's the inquisitorium in my mind i'm with you on the
the dialogue with italian the imperial guy where she's like call me sir she realizes the secret to
just being left alone in the empire is just to act like an asshole to people under you.
And she's like, call me, sir, damn it, like Ferris Bueller does when he's acting like Sloane Peterson's dad.
I like that side of it.
And you have to admit this.
Redhead, Imperial, whatever you want to say, commanders or whatever, they have a little extra edge to them.
They just seem like they're angrier than the regular – than the non-head uh imperials is that a fair okay you know look at general hucks he was
one of the angriest guys they ever had and he just like he didn't say anything i'm just like oh that
guy he's he's really bitter at life he's human yeah yeah absolutely so there is nothing with
this guy though we don't know this guy he's not something i was like could this be hucks i'm
trying to figure out the like time i don't think so either okay as long as there's nothing i missed there she gets past him it's a
pretty tense scene especially with tala character like that we don't know when or if she's going to
die in this series so with obi-wan you know you do have that plot armor of like well i get that
he's bumbling around this emporium in the friggin inquisitorium in the uh jedi robes when he
probably should have put on the stormtrooper outfit when he like took out that stormtrooper
i thought he was gonna go luke and han back in the day where they just put on the outfit
but yeah they were idiots even there was like a scene where he just like slowly like went into
the side and they didn't see him yeah stormtroopers are idiots and so are people from the empire just
in general i loved the where he like i said the lightsaber ignites he kills the stormtroopers are idiots and so are people from the empire just in general i loved the where he
like i said the lightsaber ignites he kills the stormtroopers i wanted a little more i don't not
even violence but i kind of wanted like stormtroopers cut in half or yeah just like
something a little more gnarly where i believe that is violence clem yeah i believe that
a human in half but the stormtroopers do have that weird thing where it's like ship just bounces off them but it does kill them in a way yeah so they're they're almost like uh
like lightning bugs when people just used to smash them and stuff it's like they're done
uh when riva was um like getting like her and layer going back and forth with the force
back and forth with the force that is a tongue twister that just confirms
that leia basically has the force oh yeah very much confirmed for sensitive she said is this a
staring contest it was a good line yeah she has that little bit of sass again that actress can
definitely put together the carrie fisher sass but i swear to god if we at some point learn
how she learned how to become carrie poppins it's not going to be in this
series but in any future series if that happens just know i will not be on the basement for the
rest of that series like until the end of that season at the very least because i am not ready
for that and riva we get enough hints basically right where she's talking about her past and how
she had stuff taken from her she's straight up jedi temple jedi temple yeah even later on in the episode
skipping forward ahead when we see all the jedi in the jurassic park like uh uh amber yeah yeah
yeah like there was the one child a youngling in there and i was like i bet even that is like
something in relation to riva used to be one of these people um obi-wan's darker robes i wrote
down just looked very cool i thought they were neat um and some people were like oh my god big plot hole in obi-wan uh he comes out of the water he's
completely dry that's a plot hole in many star wars movies actually including the first one when
they're the trash compactor famously mark hamill and harrison ford done with that scene they have
dry hair in the next scene and harrison ford or mark hamill turned
to harrison ford and he said why don't we have wet hair and harrison ford goes it's not that kind of
movie kid what a harrison ford line most harrison ford line ever god damn it so that's one of those
things where like if you're picking that apart come on i mean it's it it's a star wars movie
don't pick apart the wetness of robes
think about this if you're gonna come like hey listen if you think that if that bothers you
it bothers you whatever but if you're gonna go and complain about it think about what is going
to happen if you complain and your your complaints are heard we're then going to get a like two
minute sequence where it's like they find a towel they're drying off like you don't want to watch someone drying off it's fucking the worst thing in the world it's it's it's absolutely awful which
takes me into one thing i learned as a parent is when you have remember when you were a kid and
you were told you have to wait outside the pool for 15 minutes so you could digest so you don't
get cramps and then as an older you realize that was all just bullshit it's because it's hard to
clean up get your kids dry and make sure no one one goes back in the pool and drowns to death.
So you tell the kids, all right, we're done with the pool for a little bit,
and it gets that transition going.
So just embrace that Star Wars has skipped that transition for us
since fucking the first movie,
and we don't have to worry about why everyone's not dry or whatever.
And I will admit, a robe would be damp as fuck.
Oh, yeah.
Again, he lights a fire, puts the robe next to it.
He snaps his fingers with
a little bit of force power he has it dries force drying yeah it's the power that you've not seen
yet but of course exists on wikipedia because everything's on there exactly um no mute buttons
in space i wrote that down because they're using their little walkie-talkies to talk back and forth
the whole time and then obi-wan almost gets caught he eventually like sends the stormtroopers off course by like sending them down the hallway
i was like no fucking mute button in space unreal i got uh episode four flashbacks to new hope where
they're using the comms they're talking back and forth on the comms yeah which again i like that
we're kind of getting closer to that technology since the timeline is getting towards that
that as well and kind of just jumping back as well i love how the timeline is getting towards that as well. And kind of just
jumping back as well, I love how the Empire ships always have that way where it's, I can't even do
it for people to listen, they're not going to see, but where it kind of just folds up like the
shuttle Tiderium to land. I always thought that was a very cool thing. That and the handcuffs,
two things the Emperor did well. And now we get to this Jedi tomb. Let me tell everyone about

Obi-Wan discovers a Jedi tomb where, as I said,
a bunch of Jedi are just in this Jurassic Park-looking yellow amber rock.
And it's pretty fucking scary because a lot of these,
there's some aliens and stuff.
There was one, forget his name, he was Coleman something, where he was an alien from the Clone Wars.
But a lot of them were just people.
When you just see people frozen like that, it was very eerie.
I didn't know what the hell was going on at first.
And so the Jurassic Park Amber is the perfect way to put it.
That is something my dumb brain can understand.
I wish the DNA guy from jurassic park is but this is
they got the jedi frozen we're going to extract the force from them is this how uh snoke is going
to end up getting his powers at some point that was my first thought i hope there is more to this
than just a trophy collection i hope it's like they're keeping them in amber for a reason like
i would like to hear more about that i think that's fascinating now do we know anybody in this
and i'm saying by we i mean you because i didn't notice anybody from those amber things is there
any famous jedis from video games from cartoons there was i believe two from the cartoons one
like i said his name was coleman something from the cartoons he had like an upside down triangle
face me and jeff were talking about that today such a random cameo like nobody like last week quinlan
voss was mentioned nobody of that level we saw in in the amber no and like does he have a toy if he
doesn't have a toy then it doesn't matter yeah i bet he's got a toy he's probably got a toy i mean
he's one of those characters though where you would go like i don't know if he's got a toy
fair enough fair enough um next we get the dark shots of just the saber igniting him saving leia
him getting her out of there and then it was tough that as soon as tala is supposed to cause
a distraction for riva riva just spots the light she comes in she's like oh that's a real likely
story that you have about all this information that you obtained unless you're lying and then
that is also a tense scene between riva and tala
going back and forth while they're buying time for obi-wan and leia yeah i she picked that apart
really quickly it's like your parents know you're lying immediately like yeah you know that and i'm
trying to figure out if it's a forced thing or just if there was something even with the outfit
but that i thought that was a little odd um but i was like whatever again we're not we're not gonna drag this out longer again third i think they could have made
it a 45 minute episode if they had different ways of trying to figure that out but that that's none
of my nitpicks is that kind of thing um with the reva stuff and then with his lightsaber it's almost
like riding a bicycle for obi-wan you could see him start to get more comfortable and better using
that lightsaber yet again and he's using against the stormtroopers hitting their blasters off eventually a blaster
laser hits his lightsaber and then hits a window and since they're underwater starts cracking he
starts holding the window together with the force then uh tala comes out i guess she escaped
riva sent her to be interrogated by like two stormtroopers she escapes bonks them on the
head or something tells them hey go to lunch, look over there.
And then runs the other way. You could do anything to escape a stormtrooper.
And he completely floods this hallway in a very cool sequence. I loved this. At least I hope it's
not what you're about to Nick nitpick. And you see the shot of just like floating dead stormtroopers
through the glass. I love that.
All right.
So I won't nitpick that part of it, even though I will say, I think you should have like blaster proof glass in an underwear.
Like that's just day one kind of shit there.
I'm not, again, I could go on a whole rant about that.
I'm not going to be that Star Wars fan.
What I am going to get upset about is what happened right afterwards.
And you alluded to it earlier.
When we're doing the kid in a trench coat gag
in a galaxy far, far away, we invented
lightsabers, we invented fucking hyperspace.
That is crazy.
What the fuck are we doing here?
And the worst part about it is, like you said,
there's a stormtrooper right there.
Every single character I've ever seen on a
Star Wars crew and they have to hide, they just wear
the stormtrooper shit.
And Obi-Wan's like, well, we have a kid.
What am I going to do?
I don't know, Obi-Wan.
Think of anything else for the kid.
There's enough, like, little creatures in this galaxy that you can just put the robe over her and it's like up where, you know, escorting a Jawa.
This guy's a real dickhead right here from Tatooine.
He got all the way over here in the Watermoon.
But what are you doing?
Again, that was my TikTokok he didn't make it
far what are we doing right now yeah it was it was he threw a hat on he just threw one of the
imperial hats on like it was a baseball cap walked with her in the trench coat and immediately reefer
was like two traitors blah blah blah came out and then while they were cornered it looked like you
know oh this is the end for our heroes mr ro. Roken's CEO comes up big, out of nowhere, with a ship.
It wasn't just him.
It was like him, he sent Wade and another character.
They came down.
They saved the day.
They save Obi-Wan and Leia.
And then they go up.
And then one of the pilots, Reva, kills with a bomb.
She sends it at the A-Wing.
I think it was an A-Wing.
And unfortunately, those those pilots we could
tell were pretty close broken's like damn we lost another one in the war oh you're not soldiers well
fucking now you are you're part of this war and then we see vader storm no no no no bob don't
move on past that no no no no no are you ready your fucking mind and some soldier some some some pilot it's wade they did keep saying wade
the the greatest pilot and the the greatest person in that galaxy far far away was wade at least
that's what i was supposed to fucking think i don't give a fuck about wade that's the thing
they i i almost thought trying to show us like people are dying for later here i know but like
the way they talked about wade i was like holy shit they did talk about wade like we knew him yeah
we didn't know wade i didn't know wade i didn't give a fuck about way that i'm like wade deserved
to die it was a pretty cool thing kind of like forcing the bomb onto the i don't know if it was
a speeder or an a-wing it was one or the other yeah it was maybe a speeder it could have been
one or the other but nonetheless this is wade this is the most important character of the entire episode
is what i'm to believe it's like kill obi-wan don't kill wade don't kill fucking wade what
just a name wade up they killed wade i can't believe they did it now the empire is evil
that's how you should have now jose jackson's fucking pot committed committed they killed
fucking wade there i did like i was like
when like star uh fighters are just attacking people from like you know oh yeah range and it's
like they have such more firepower with their laser cannons or whatever it'd be i thought that
was pretty cool but the it was a little like it was a little wonky i don't know it just felt weird
where it was like right on top of reba and she was kind of fighting back. So I thought that part was a little odd to me.
But again, there was many other things I had.
I had issues with over any of that shit.
I was I was not very happy this episode.
I can't lie.
I just can't lie.
Wow.
That's tough to hear.
The next scene, someone is very not happy.
And that's Darth Vader.
He's pissed.
He's power walking.
He's screaming.
I mean, talk about being scared of your boss when your boss is Darth Vader and he
power walks and he screams like that.
He's very mad at Reva until Reva tells him I placed a tracker on the ship
so they can't get very far.
And then we cut to the ship and we realized the tracker is Lola because she
had Lola in her hand earlier.
Lola lights up red,
the eye and everything.
Unfortunate that this droid that we were talking about,
oh, it's so cool.
It's like a disc man, blah, blah, blah.
It's like a little drone that your kids have.
You throw up in the air.
No, this is going to be our downfall here.
Welcome to the Suss List, Lola, you fucking bitch.
You son of a bitch.
That's my, actually, no, it's my niece's name.
It's awful.
Why did you guys have to ruin the name Lola for me there?
I didn't see that coming. It seems a little odd that she was just like oh i'm just gonna like reprogram this i guess she could have done at another point i don't know i didn't follow
what lola was doing the entire time uh but i i i laughed so hard when they threw the tracker on
the ship there's two things in star wars you could do you track the ship or bob what's the other thing
you do and i was waiting for vader to say did you disconnect the hyperdrive there we go we've checked both fucking tropes right off the
list vader i'm telling you he's gonna get back to mustafar and they're gonna be like dude these
legs are not meant to power walk these legs from point a to point b but they are not supposed to
get you there very quickly and And he was pushing the limits.
And you said your boss.
I'm thinking like if you ever see Dave walking directly at you, Portnoy, at the office, you're just like, this is either something really good or really bad.
And I think it's happened to you a few times.
And he's actually wanted to talk about Star Wars.
Usually, yeah.
He's like, what's power walking over like that?
And I'm like, oh, here it is.
I'm getting fired.
It's been a good run, but that was it for me.
I'll be like, how do you log into Disneyney plus i'm like what he's like i want
to watch mando i'm like oh uh i'll log in for you it's so funny but again um everything what was
what was your biggest issue in this episode the trench trench coat the trench coat that's like that is i thought it was like obviously
i was like that that's not gonna work but it wasn't an issue for i wrote lmao at obi-wan
hiding leia in the trench coat like it was like it was kind of like a comedic scene for me so
that's number one on the list but the way osha jackson's like no way buddy no way okay you got
me and i was just like Again I felt like I missed like
Five minutes if you tell me Disney
Uploaded the non final
Version of this and there's another ten minutes that kind of
Does that makes us actually give a
Fuck about Wade I guess
Just deletes the fucking trench coat from
Existence and then other
Than and again like the the tracker
On the ship thing that's just one of the star where you have to
Like that's just Star Wars-y stuff.
I'm not upset about that.
All those things together, though, kind of just added up.
And again, Riva Inquisit-
Fucking grilling a 10-year-old.
Like, where are all the Jedi?
Where did they hide them?
She's like, I'm 10 years old.
They're not telling me the fucking ins and outs of their operations.
I thought that was-
Honestly, that might be bigger than the trench coat, where she's just a 10 year old about fucking where all the jedi are it's like
i don't think they're just you know giving a jedi they met three minutes ago because your kidnapping
plan happened to get her to this one random planet i don't think she knows where all these
jedi are and that's my other question for you bob riva she sees obi-wan right yep why is she not
like you motherfucker this and that like
did she know she knew it was him right because she says the old man yeah the old man like it
seems when we first meet riva obi-wan is like the number one target of her life she has revenge to
get on him and then she doesn't talk to him when he's standing two feet in front of she does yell
at him to get his attention i guess yeah but it's but it's like, you mother... I'd be throwing...
Maybe that's just me. I'd be throwing... Maybe she didn't want to do it
in front of everyone, because it's clear that
I think in Riva's mind,
she's like, oh, I'm obsessed with Obi-Wan
for Vader. I'm just getting him for
him. And obviously, in
her real mind, she's like, no, this is
my own obsession. But I think she's hiding
her own obsession in Vader's obsession.
Maybe she was trying not to give away like that. I's i guess that could be a fair point i was just
something that i wasn't sure if i was like she definitely knows that that's obi-wan obviously
it's laz there yeah he's calling him the old man and maybe it's something that is personal or there
could be like we said could be a double um double yeah what if she's working for Obi-Wan somehow?
And yeah, it's all a ruse.
I thought she was going to admit that to Vader at the end when she said, I let them go.
And I was like, oh, we got it now.
And then, nope.
I think Vader's going to kill her at the end of the series.
That's my prediction.
That's your prediction?
I could see that.
I could see that.
I think we're going to need two bangers to end the season for me to give this like a good grade.
Because today, I think we had good momentum after three.
And I think we hit like a good grade because i today i think we had good momentum after three and i think
we hit like a bump in four and it's you never hit like a pothole and you're listening to hear if the
tire went flat yeah that's where i'm like i'm listening now you're listening right now and
episode five will let me know if a tire has gone flat and i fucking hope it does it and i'm trying
not to be the negative guy because there was there was some cool shit like you said when they when
the um stormtroopers were floating in the water, I thought that was some pretty cool stuff.
But there was just a few moments that kind of like took me out and I was like, huh, I thought that was weird.
And no spoilers or anything.
I watched Ms. Marvel a few hours later and it was the opposite.
I was like – I was surprised of how much I liked the show.
So I was pleasantly surprised is what I say.
I was pleasantly – I was unpleasantly surprised with this episode personal.
And we'll be recapping Ms.
Marvel as well.
And probably a quick hitter format.
I want to say maybe we could find time to do that this weekend.
And maybe we get the first episode up on Monday.
Maybe that'll be our Monday show.
That's part of the thing.
We just had that meeting with Jake,
shout out Jake Bass from foreplay.
He's going to help us out a little bit,
growing the brand.
And that was another thing.
It's like just the constant content every day.
So we're going to try to get more content for you guys,
more YouTube shorts,
more tick tocks,
like Clem said.
All right.

There he is.
So go get some Paul McCartney tickets.
Last minute Paul McCartney tickets.
What do you want to see out of the final two episodes of Obi-Wan?
I got a couple things on my checklist of like the fight scene has to live up to the hype because they've hyped it up a ton.
I would love to see the tiny stuff.
Like if he runs into Dexter Jetstar, puts uh anakin's lightsaber into that box that
he eventually takes it out of for luke uh quaguan i would love to see my guy uh show up in force
ghost form i'd like to actually see him not just hear him hearing him would be cool but actually
seeing him back in the fucking you know we've never seen quaguan as a force ghost he is a thousand
percent coming back i forgot all about him uh during this episode if he comes back in a black robe and he has those little orange eyes it is
all right the next two episodes could be literally nothing but leia sitting on top of obi-wan
shoulders in this fucking trench coat and then it just ends with darth charger i'd be fine with it
i'd be like all right this was a plus everyone's happy i do
want him to drop leia off at some point soon it's getting to the point for me where do i think this
breaks canon a new hope ruined no i do think it's a little bit weird that she's like you serve my
father in the clone wars if she has this fucking relationship with him where she's holding his
hand she feels like he's a father figure all of this and she's 10 it's not like she's holding his hand. She feels like he's a father figure, all of this. And she's 10. It's not like she's six.
And it's, you know, you remember stuff from when you're 10.
So do I think it breaks canon?
No.
Am I ready for their relationship to split?
Yes.
I am a thousand percent with you on that as well.
Actually, now that kind of just made me a little sour about this all.
Now, when she says it, she's not like Obi-Wan, like like you serve my father i don't know who you are i
guess no and there's the scene where when luke shows up and he's like i'm luke skywalker i'm
here to rescue you she's like where the hell is ben kenobi and he's like ben kenobi's here she's
like ben kenobi's here and she immediately runs and she's excited so you can excuse it with that
just that first line is a look you would think it would be like hey good to see you yeah i need your help again obi-wan uh obi-wan i hitting your trench coat like a child
please tell me you know please help me i need your help you're my only hope obi-wan
that is a very fair point and this is the craziest thing we thought late was going to be like an
episode or so or so of her and obi-wan together and it
would be like a quick rescue scene it's basically fucking mando part two where you have a little
child and this fucking like guy protecting the child we don't have to do this star wars we could
they love that storyline yeah they're like listen guys we're not going to bring it to tatooine we're
going to leave there pretty quickly but we got to do this the child storyline because we don't have
anything else yeah it's like just fucking break like just break it all and just
go something completely different it's crazy remember we're like do you think obi-wan's
gonna talk to luke it's like no he's just gonna spend the entire fucking series hanging out with
his sister you think we'll see luke like again i don't even know if luke is like
will we go back to tatooine well of course loby wants to end the show on tatooine yeah
yeah and then that's i guess the question is is there a second season coming because Will we go back to Tatooine? Well, of course. Lobey Wan's got to end the show on Tatooine, yeah.
Yeah, and then I guess the question is, is there a second season coming?
Because he doesn't have to go to Tatooine. The rumors are that there is a second season coming.
Okay, so they don't even have to put him there to end the season.
I guess not.
No, I guess you don't have to.
As long as that's the case.
And even though this show has not quite hit the expectations that everyone had for it, I think that's great news.
The more Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan, the better in my opinion.
I love this guy in this role in particular.
So I think it's a good idea.
And there's nine years before that.
So it's like, yeah, he's probably getting into some shit.
Yeah.
And like you said, the biggest part for ending this season is this fight.
This fight, they can.
It's got to be great.
Well, that's when there was a part of Stranger Things that I said I loved from the finale.
And it made everything else from certain parts of it that I didn't love along the way.
They could fucking nail this and it'll make everything just be like, that was fine.
It was just leading up to this big battle.
So I'm 100% fine with that along the way.
