Hey, My Mom's Basement listeners, you can find our episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube, and Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Hello, and welcome to My Mom's Basement, presented by 3Chi and Barstool Sports. I am your host, Robbie Fox, along with my co-host, Clem, and we are here for the very first, and I guess, technically, second, Ahsoka recap episode. We are recapping episodes one and two. They put them out together. And finally, they listened to the Basement Boys Club.

They put them out Tuesday at 9 p.m. This is the new slot for Disney+, at least for Star Wars. The biggest and best news we have gotten on Disney+, all year. 9 p.m. Eastern Star Time. Those bastards on the West Coast got 6 p.m., so they kind of have the whole night to go through this. Man, it feels good. It feels good to be right. It feels good to actually

make change in this world that truly matters. You guys can all shower with your applause. Roses, I'll take if you want to throw flowers at us next time you see us, that would be welcome. I'm happy, Bob. I'm very happy about that. the saddest thing is i didn't even watch it at nine o'clock yeah me neither me neither i missed it at the bar

of soul awards we were traveling up do it all you know you had the band practice all this kind of stuff so we're releasing this you know probably later then we'll be releasing the ahsoka uh recaps but for like, be the change you want to see in the world. I wrote a whole blog about how it was a great idea. The idiots that run Disney Plus finally grew a brain and moved it to 9pm. But at the end I said, if they

change the schedule back to 12pm or 12am or 3am Eastern Time for Ahsoka or even the next big Star Wars or even MCU show, I take back all my good things I said about Disney. They're a bunch of fucking morons. They're a bunch of idiots,

a bunch of fucking idiots in the words, but you don't take that back yet. They're not that. Yeah, they're not that yet, but they will be that if they do that, they need to keep it 9. PM.

Eastern standard time. We've been begging for it forever. I was also trying to explain to people at work, like how big this is for us. Cause it's to like describe oh yeah it's huge it's coming out at nine now but i was like imagine your favorite team only played at three in the morning you're like i'll wake up at three in the morning to watch my favorite team play but i don't want to now we're in prime time now we actually can have discussions as the episode comes out i assume next tuesday at 10 p.m twitter

might be on fire star wars twitter at least that and that's the thing is when the moment the big moment happens which i think we can agree has not happened yet in this show it went completely over my head um but if we have a baby yoda reveal we have just an incredible episode we have anything just earth shattering in any show, 10 PM, 11 PM. That is when a show can truly take off. And I, I always bring it back to game of Thrones,

no matter what you want to say about game of Thrones, the way it ended, when that shit popped off, even not even after the show, if at nine 12, something crazy happened from nine 12 until nine 12 AM. The next day, that shit was trending.

That shit was all over the place. And you said, you know what? If I didn't watch it live, I got to live with the a.m. the next day. That shit was trending. That shit was all over the place. And she said, you know what? If I didn't watch it live, I got to live with the spoilers. It is what it is. 3 a.m. It's like I had to turn off Twitter. You're fucking trying to figure out a time to watch it. I need, what I need actually is I need someone to step up and explain to me why 3 a.m.

was the best time to throw this out in the first place and how it was like you did it like maybe the first couple times because you're you're launching it and it's a west coast thing 12 a.m i don't know whatever i know 12 a.m pacific is 3 a.m eastern after like years and years of these shows and let's be honest the rating is just kind of dipping how is it now august 22nd 2023 is when they actually change it and again i'm not going to call them idiots not going to do it would never dream of doing it i gotta know why it took them this long to not be idiots so that's all i'm asking trust me we work at barstool we just had an award show we didn't even know if we were allowed to promote it a week ago uh i don't think people

even knew if it was being streamed until the morning Someone asked me is it being streamed I said yup I think I had no idea Glass houses Me and Bob live in a glass house The basement you can see clearly Because there's nothing but glass around us But these fuckers at Disney

Now, as far as the actual series goes, Ahsoka, we got the first two episodes. I watched them the night of. We got back from band practice late, like 11 o'clock at night threw them on i was thrilled with what we got in episodes one and two as a fan of rebels as a fan of ahsoka the character her arc on clone wars and whatnot i think we're going to be coming at it from two different perspectives here because i've watched all that stuff you haven't so it's interesting were you a bit lost do you feel like you could follow how did you feel about it um so i went in all excited because i heard you ken jack i think jeff d low everyone said oh this is great uh ken jack said i think the the screeners too and he's like it's

the best parts of mandalorian this and that the way i felt watching these first two episodes is like i walked into a story someone was telling without any of the context and they're just telling me about all these different people these different characters and everything that happened I'm like haha and I'm laughing and they're looking at me like why are you laughing you don't even know why that should be funny so I'm gonna be honest with you I have no idea. My notes are basically just questions for you from the first two episodes. And I do think I'm definitely – I know for a fact I'm not alone. There's a lot of us that have been watching stuff in the cartoons previously.

So we have some questions along the way. But it sounds weird to say for a Star Wars franchise because a lot of us usually were on the same level when we're watching new stuff for the first time. I feel like you guys had a lot more fun with this than I did. We probably did, honestly, knowing all the characters and seeing them in live action for the first time. I mean, just the fact that we have a pretty serious live action sequel, big budget live action sequel to a kids cartoon that was on Disney XD is mind blowing to me. And it really does feel like a sequel to Rebels, like bringing in all the characters. And I don't want to say the audience is expected to know the history because they're kind of

explaining it. They're giving you hints in the first two episodes as to how the relationship between Sabine and Ahsoka could have deteriorated since Rebels and stuff like that. But they're definitely rewarding the fans that watched all that stuff. There's so many little nods and tidbits here and there that I'm like, oh, this is Dave Filoni being like, this is for all the people that have been riding with me since the beginning. Yeah, and it's kind of like with Barstool, right?

Like that award show last night, there are some deep old-school cuts, the purple stuff. How many people are like, I'm an OG stoolie, and it's like, well, when have you been on? Like, I've been with you guys since the beginning, since you guys were in the other HQ in New York City. It's like, oh, buddy. And they see the purple starfish, they don't know what any of that stuff means.

So there is a whole other story behind it. So I understand the difference in timelines. But I have to say, because my initial question question was that little mural they had in the background i'm like is that from the show and are all these people from the show the are we supposed to know them already i'm quickly figuring out yes very much so and i'm completely lost without having know that but again i can i they're they're walking me along well enough while also giving you guys all the little breadcrumbs along the way i have to say i did not realize it was a disney xd show this makes me feel weird now like i guess it would make me feel weirder if i went back and

re-watch them because disney xd is what my kids watch so it's like i'm watching a show that my kids watch but obviously now with the live action and it being on Disney plus it, it does. I don't feel like I'm too much of a child doing it. And Hey, listen, if you like the cartoons, God bless,

I'm going to go see Ninja turtles for the second time in the movie theater. Cause that's how much I like that fucking movie. So, Hey, I saw that too. Since our last podcast. Yeah, you did.

You did. That's right. It's right. The fucking soundtrack too. I was just listening to the soundtrack. AJ is asking to listen to Annie up by MOP. I mean, that's how you know where we are, which is kind of a scary thing. I don't like giving that kid Annie up into his repertoire.

I'm basically just asking for him to become the truest bad boy of the neighborhood. So I think that's going to be the biggest takeaway, maybe from this year, maybe the previous year with the spider verse and spider verse Ninja turtles. And what was the other big one that came out this year maybe the previous year with the spider verse and um spider verse ninja turtles and what was the other big one that came out this year um um i guess that same style yeah same style where it's like people are going to start taking animation a little more seriously especially if you can then roll it into a live action thing and it sounds like the casting was phenomenal based on what they went from animated to real life other than we knew rosario dawson now but everyone else

it sounds like they just nailed it sabine harrah absolutely nailed them especially sabine like harrah i think is great and mary elizabeth wants that is like a great actress sabine i don't think i've ever seen the actress before i don't know if she is famous i don't know if she's like a newcomer in this series but i thought she nailed that sabine energy and even like uh i understand people are upset that they kind of broke the rebels team apart at the beginning of this just to bring him back at the end of the two episodes and at the end of episode two spoilers you know spoilers for ahsoka first two episodes at the end when she's looking at the mural and she touches it and she puts the mandalorian helmet back on and follows ahsoka that's a shot for shot recreation of like the finale of rebels so they did literally kind of

just like loop us around i get that i do think it puts sabine in a cool spot like where she's a little more angsty a little less charismatic i guess still listening to like japanese rock as she's you know driving her speeder down the highway i really really enjoyed the first two episodes let's get right into it because we got a lot to break down i gotta ask you one question i gotta ask you one question go ahead go ahead are there anything people are really mad about? Is there like the hardcore rebels contingency? And it's like, man,

I am so mad that they made her hair half orange and half purple. And it's actually magenta. There's nothing like that. We don't have any Star Wars fans. Cause that's one of my favorite parts. I've seen some people angry about, people are angry about the end to episode one. So we'll get into that when we get into episode one and not,

and I'm, I don't want to say I'm with them. I'm angry but i'm with him a little bit um this because listen i loved the first two episodes not without its faults though this show definitely has like it's it's a it's a bit clunky and pacing and stuff it feels like dave filoni's finding his footing right now i think i might be with you on that too as someone that has no that knew nothing about rebels other than the very high grade stuff so we'll see so we get a crawl to open the series which i loved it's not the you know yellow scroll crawl it's a red crawl um but i just got that immediate star wars feeling from i'm such a nerd this is like the stuff i make fun of nerds for like oh they

probably came when they saw the crawl that was me this week i saw the crawl i was like we're back my uh my note is uh the text scroll made it move it made it move for me and i was like all right so we're gonna take this one that we're gonna take this show extra serious now because we're starting with us with a text scroll which sienna came downstairs was actually reading i'm like man if you're a kid that doesn't know how to read you are just up the creek right now. Yeah. We see a new Republic ship and they get a call from what they believe to be Jedi. But the officer, the commanding officer, is a little bit skeptical right away. He's like, there's like no Jedi in the world.

What do you mean there's Jedi calling our ship? So they let him on, calls their bluff to their face. And these two Jedi, I think it's Balonon and shin they just go on a rampage an absolute spree a murder spree basically they're force sensitive at least balon is he's using the force and stuff i think shin is too um and they have weird lightsabers these like orange lightsabers that we've never seen before he has a line where he's like i'm no jedi they go rescue morgan ellsworth the magistrate from mando season two that ahsoka put in jail in the first place and that kind of lets us know it takes place right after that and i think before ahsoka meets luke and has that conversation with him with grogu and bookable with fat so i think that's where we are timeline wise the opening

scene so many people are comparing to phantom menace when like quaguan and obi-wan come in i love that it's like a dark version of that i was gonna say the same thing it was kind of cool getting the whole jedi padawan feel but you're getting it from the other side of it that commander though that is clearly a dude that just played the politics game to move up the corporate ladder to get to where he is. Cause you know, I understand you, you're not expecting a bunch of force sensitive dude to come off a ship,

but when these guys are telling you they're Jedi, it's like, why are you going to fucking try to people that are, they're posing as Jedi? You know, that there's some fucking weird little magic in the world that you live in out there, the universe you live in.

Why are you going to test these two people? when you have a prisoner on your ship that you know people are going to be coming after so that dude deserved to get his ass killed i was like kill that motherfucker right now you know he thought the jedi were like kumail from obi-wan where he was like just doing magic tricks and telling people that he was jedi and yeah that was the wrong bluff to call essentially that was the fuck around and find out graph and he's right there met right in his fucking abdomen and i wanted to shout out ray stevenson the guy who plays balon he passed away before this show could ever come out so he's not going to get to see all the praise and love that he's getting for this performance but he really is awesome he's super intimidating and the highlight of these two episodes at least one

of the highlights of these two episodes so that was one of the highlights of these two episodes. So that was the, for our friend right at the end, I didn't know who that was about and I forgot to Google it. So thank you, Robbie for breaking that down for me. Yeah. So we finally get, we finally get our girl Ahsoka.

She's doing a puzzle to unlock another puzzle. Kind of. It's like she uses her lightsabers, makes a hole in the floor, goes down into this little cave. And in a very Indiana Jones esque way, She uses her lightsabers, makes a hole in the floor, goes down into this little cave. And in a very Indiana Jones-esque way, she has to solve the puzzle between the walls and a ball comes out and everything. And I love that.

Even down to when she escapes and there's droids waiting for her, she has to slice a couple up and then run. I think our guy Heavy Spoiler said, like she's running from the fucking boulder in Raiders of the Lost Ark. So I love that even though this is Star Wars, we're taking inspiration from other Lucasfilm projects. Very Dave Filoni. I saw that scene and I had it in my head. And then Sienna of all people goes, dad, this is just like Indiana Jones, which I think she only made it about 10 minutes into Raiders of the Lost Ark and started singing. I'm like, that's my girl right there. And I said, is there a big boulder going to come? And I guess it kind of came in a big

smoke bomb, fire bomb instance. And then the little trinket, I mean, it definitely has some Indiana Jones vibes, but I was also getting like I was like, you know what's inside there, Santa? She's like, well, it's the Power Stone. It was a little bit of Guardians of the Galaxy with Star-Lord when he steals it, right? That little orb. Definitely.

Definitely. And I loved that whole intro to ahsoka she goes and gets on the ship with hu yang her droid voiced by david tennant he's a droid from the cartoon as well david tennant great actor and ahsoka goes to meet up with hera now and tells her about this potential map to thrawn and ezra so this is a big thing from rebelsbels that you kind of, I guess, are a little bit expected to know. I think they said it in the crawl. There was a huge battle, the Battle of Lothal. And in this battle, Ezra decided, okay, the only way I could take Thrawn out is if I take myself out with him. And with the help of the space whales that baby yoda saw in last season of mandel they fly into like unknown regions and half assumed dead but everyone's kind of like they're

out there somewhere we know they're out there somewhere so that mural on lothal that's ezra's home planet and that's like for him mostly you know it's know, these are the rebels that helped us in that war to basically prevent another war or whatever from Thrawn. So she tells him about the potential map. They don't know how it works. They're not super tech savvy, and they got to seek out Sabine. And immediately the vibes are like, ooh, you got to seek out Sabine. We haven't talked to her in a couple of years.

Pretty familiar narrative arc, but but again i wasn't too mad at it okay so my i had some questions thrawn death do we know about this did we see it okay that makes perfect sense uh did we do we know ezra who is this green chick uh do we know of her check mark check mark uh who yang i'm gonna say based on what you guys have told me he's kind of the he's clearly the two in terms of the droid power rankings because one's our boy chopper uh is he at least does he have his moments though is he a a really solid droid because i i need to know my buddies here i'm who i'm going into war with and stuff like that very solid droid fan favorite for sure like it's one of those things where it's like if he was in

any other era he would be number one but he's in the era with chopper and chopper's the fucking man he's got the biggest body count out there exactly okay okay so so i think i'm good right now i think i'm i have my bearings about me the space whales again the space whales was very very weird when you guys were explaining it to me. And it's not going to get any less weird. Trust me, if I go back and watch that episode, it's still going to be weird because I don't have like the years of context with the show. And I imagine, listen, everyone listening that is like me and did not watch Rebels. You're in this with us.

Don't worry. We're going to get through it together. You have the fucking Robbie is the Jedi Master. We are the Padawans. And there's two sides to this podcast. There's two sides to the force. You're going to be OK. We are the Padawans. And there's two sides to this podcast. Like there's two sides to the force. You're going to be okay. We're going to get through this.

Hopefully this show is just as good as people say it's going to be. And we're going to all come through it slowly together. I like how you wrap that around to the two sides of the force. That was like poetry. I like that. It rhymes. So we see Clancy Brown. Actually, one of my favorite actors reprise his role from rebels as rider azadi

this is a guy who he played in the cartoon and they kind of animated him to look like uh clancy brown he also does the voice of darth maul's brother in the cartoon he also plays the devil-like prisoner in episode six of the mandalorian the first bill burr episode so clancy brown is just a veteran in the star wars galaxy at this point and he's leading a celebration for the anniversary of the battle of luthor i think sabine was supposed to give a speech here but she completely blows it off to just listen to her rock and roll music on the highway she's a cool scene where she drops the speeder and kind of like grinds under the security that is trying to keep her back in the city limits or whatever and she goes over to the Lothal communications tower where she has made kind of her home the Lothal communications

tower we also know from rebels that was kind of Ezra's clubhouse his treehouse if you will so first of all, Clancy Brown, it was really bothering the living shit out of me of what he was from. So I just looked it up because I didn't know his name. And he is the captain from Shawshank. He's the guy that goes on the roof. I think he's the one who Andy offers to do his taxes or whatever, and he's about to throw him off.

So that was really bothering me. And so he's the voice in this cartoon. And he's, I mean, he's awesome in the show. he's one of those that guy he's also in apparently uh nightmare on upstreet i was too big of a pussy to really watch it but i'm sure there's the horror fans out there that that truly love that stuff uh i love the on on this day several years ago like there's any exact date like who the fuck says several years ago on an anniversary date that was hilarious he also does the voice of mr crabs that's a fun fact for you oh wow that is a fun thing how does that not show up in his imdb is known for it's not for like me that's his number one thing

that's such a fucking casual thing oh yeah, yeah. And by the way, Mr. Krabs, no big deal. So Sabine goes up to the communications tower. She has a message from Ezra that she goes and rewatches. She's clearly missing him a lot. She was being trained to be a Jedi by both Ezra and his master, Kanan. So they were very much teaching her. She was never Force-sensitive. So that was always a weird thing. She was also, this is huge for Mandalalorian fans if you don't know this the person that initially gave

our girl bokatan the dark saber oh the dark saber came into sabine's hands and she kind of felt like i'm not worthy of this like this probably should go to you and she gave it to bokatan starting the supposed curse you know because it wasn't given through the way it's supposed to you and she gave it to bocatan starting the supposed curse you know because it wasn't given through the way it's supposed to start and whatnot uh we get introduced to a figure named maric new character he's got a mask on he's got an inquisitor lightsaber and he's working with the bad guys then we see ahsoka land on lothal sabine boards the ship relationship has gone a bit south seems like at the end of rebels when she was like i'm gonna train you to be a jedi that somehow went they

went their separate ways that somehow did not work out and she looks at her old bunk she's got her drawings everywhere that was a big thing about sabine always drawing graffiti stuff like that doodler i thought a total doodler i thought one day maybe she would paint mando's armor to look like you know every mandalorian has like colors but mando's all shiny i thought maybe one day we'll get her to paint it like green like grogu colors or something i think that would be dope that would be that would be cool that'd be very cool so by the way sabine ren that's a star wars name like i heard that and oh yeah you guys you guys done did it again yeah who yang also i had no idea i had no i like the whole mandalorian thing threw me completely off because she doesn't have her helmet yeah she's

amanda i'm just like what the fuck is going on here with and the the relationship so tell me and the other people who don't know like was there always like a hey these two like hit it off all right and then they have like you know an argument and separate like was it a consistent back and forth with them during like the training and all that shit they were always from what i remember they were always good they were always like very friendly so this was it was a total off-screen thing yeah yeah okay cool which that did annoy some people they were like and they like you took this group who was so friendly and almost bubbly with each other and now they're a little standoffish so so i feel like there's probably a better chance

that people are a little more upset if they know it because me i'm just like all right i could see ahsoka being a little tough where maybe on her on her you know people on her padawans or people she's training and let's be honest being she seems like the bad girl she's the girl that breaks your heart at the end of you know it's a little summer love breaks your heart maybe takes your wallet and just goes on her little speeder runs away so i could definitely see a little bit of a problem there by the way i have to i'm just to ask these right now before we kill it. What is Ahsoka? What is she?

What is she? Like, do we know her race? Like, what is this? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I should know this off the top of my head. But Ahsoka Tano is a Togruta. That's right. Togruta.

Togruta. Which looks a lot like a Shakti Togr gruta but isn't quite shock t shock t has like different horns she's in uh revenge of the sith gets killed in that like cool environment as well so i i was wondering my sienna said their horns and i didn't know if they were horns or like if they were like horns hair type yeah i don't yeah okay they fixed them in this i think like they looked okay in the mandalorian but they were a little too short and in this they look proper long because that's the other thing like when you're a young tagruta you have very short ones and then they grow as time goes on and then here it says her home world was shilly but she was raised on coruscant which i guess that's with the um okay so that makes sense

and uh in terms of jedi what are we looking at one to ten in terms of jedi powers one being you know may 10 being fucking they you know anakin at his fucking absolute zenith or something like that well you're master yoda what are we dealing at with her probably like at her peak probably a nine like she was wow really close yeah she has this fight with vader in rebels the one that they mirror in obi-wan where she cuts vader's helmet you could see anakin's eye through it and she goes toe-to-toe with him i mean she has to get saved eventually she gets saved by ezra it's a world between worlds thing that's a whole thing that we're gonna have to get into at some point on the show the world between worlds is a place in the star wars galaxy where like time and space don't exist so you could go through a door and just wind up in the phantom menace or something

that will probably break some minds present company included um but yeah we'll get into that at a later time because we don't have to do that episode one or two do you see the glasses coming off bob rubbing the eyes glasses coming off like are do the space whales have anything to do with the world between worlds because i'm telling you this is a lot this this is a lot to take in i feel like i'm being unplugged from the matrix and being told about my world and it's just too much for me to handle we're losing them like my heart rate is going up the world between worlds and space whales oh god damn yeah okay all right we'll get through again we're gonna get through this together everybody don't worry about it everything's gonna be fine i'm not even gonna get into the planet where

there are physical beings that embody the force and represent the force we're we'll get into oh gosh okay who yang breaks down bail on and shins saber details and it seemed reminded me of the dark knight this is our weekly dark knight reference on the podcast when they break down the bullet like all the bullet shells and what gun they from that's what this reminded me of and uh balon they think is a disgraced jedi who yang like recognizes his lightsaber hilt so he's like i think this is like a clone wars era jedi hilt another disgraced jedi left the temple it's tough hopefully he's not one of those fucking kids that anakin tried to again you know i don't think the timeline on that would line up oh we just can't go through that again for the people listening or not watching

youtube when when robbie talks about disgraced jedi it's like he is so just like i hate these people like oh i can't believe you gave you turn your back on the jedi you are like a fucking like a parent talking about the black sheep of their family like oh yeah another one of these guys i hate to make this comparison especially about myself but it's almost the Scientology thing. Like, you leave us. We're coming after you. So Ahsoka tells Sabine about this whole puzzle ball and the potential map to Ezra and Thrawn. And she says, listen, it's just very, very fragile and we need it here. So whatever you do, just don't leave the ship with it, OK?

Of course, she fucking leaves the ship with it. She brings it back to the communications tower. Ahsoka at this point tells Hera she feels like a failure for failing Sabine in her training. She references leaving Anakin before her training was complete. She was actually in the Clone Wars framed for a fucking bombing on the Jedi Temple. It was a whole thing, and she had to leave the Jedi Order. She realized their corruption before everyone else did essentially she was like i'm fucking out of here and has a famous line like i am no jedi which is kind of you know mirrored with balon in the

beginning so as soon as she opens sabine opens the puzzle ball. Shin ambushes her because she had one of those probe droids, Phantom Menace style. Go check her out. And she kills a couple droids right away with Ezra's lightsaber. She grabs Ezra's lightsaber or whatever. And then she goes to fight Shin. She gets stabbed in the stomach right away. Ahsoka shows up, episode over. This is something some people had an issue with, and I'm sort of with them.

I'm tired of seeing people get stabbed by lightsabers and being fine we just don't need that and it's not show ruining i was it didn't really piss me off it's just like i know she ain't dead but we're just gonna do this again we did it in obi-wan with the inquisitor the grand inquisitor he got stabbed a couple times and people were like well he's got multiple stomachs His race he only got stabbed through one stomach Qui-Gon Jinn has to be watching This like what the fuck why did I die Qui-Gon

Got stabbed two seconds Later Darth Maul got chopped in Half and he came back Which of these Two guys survives and you show Darth Maul chopped in half and I'm gonna do a robbie style quaguan gets a little hole a little hole in his belly no big deal that is apparently the least

fatal injury in the star wars universe because remember i remember when this happened in um what was that was that an obi-wan obi-wan obi-wan i'm sorry yeah and i was like wait probably did i miss something as a Star Wars fan? When did this become a non-fiddle? That was like, that was the most like, oh, this person is dead, dead back in the day. And now I wrote it. I said, I didn't see a death coming. And again, I don't know anything about, I didn't know anything about Sabine Wren when I woke up this morning.

And now I'm just like, oh shit, like she must not have been a big character because she's clearly dead. And then, uh, I mean, in the next episode, she's fucking fine. Like complete, like not even in a coma,

not even like, oh my God, is she going to make it? Like, she's just like eating fucking green jello in her hospital bed and she's fine. They didn't even put her on the injured list in baseball. Like the 10 day,

they just are like, no, no. Like she's day to day. The DTD was next to her name in the fantasy list. Questionable, right? Yeah. She was questionable.

And like three days later, she's probably like probable. What the fuck are we talking about? She's fucking hacking droids and shit. Yeah. Like, yeah. So that again, she might have been stronger. Like she might be stronger after she got, she's like a marodynamic guy.

I have a hole in my body. Why not just have Like Ahsoka show up like she did at the end Her ship kind of comes in and Shin has to run away, why not just have her Do that before the lightsaber stab I don't know, that Was, from the two episodes

That was the thing I took the biggest issue with Which I'm like, if that's my biggest issue, it's not really That's not a crazy big issue Before we get into episode two, let's tell everyone about game time, the exclusive ticketing partner of Barstool sports created by fans for fans.

Just A-plus songs going up. The little mini concert we had between him was awesome.

Pat Bev just rocking out with his boy, Roan, was absolutely fantastic. I loved it. He was an MVP of the night, Pat Bev, like a dark horse. I know Nate was the MVP of the night, unquestionably, but Pat Bev was the dark horse MVP because between him filming, his little presentation with roan where you sip it on high noon through a straw and everything and then him telling nate to calm down during his uh roast was so goddamn funny pat bev all-time great example of like athlete that buys into parstool

100 and that is one of those guys like at least in new york we haven't seen him around as much i've seen him in chicago and he clearly has the relationship when he, when he was at the awards, he's like, Hey, Eddie, Eddie, which is one of my Pat Bev, Eddie combo is one of my favorite things in the world. So seeing that all go down and it's funny. Cause when Pat Bev first came, it's like, he just had the podcast doing his thing. It's whatever. I guess that's just the kind of thing he's going to do. And it's the complete opposite once he's around and everyone getting

traded to the bowls and got to go into the Chicago office. it was like from there on it was yeah all bets are off the family member basically and then i saw kate tweet and she's like i shared a table with pat beth and i'm telling you it was like he's like the best dude in the world it was so much fun and i'm like damn i wish i had gotten to meet pat bev i hopefully then have the knicks could trade for him and we could get some some knicks love here now the fact he's with ron in the sixers yeah ron deserves to die a little inside for all he all the little pranks and shenanigans so yeah it was great about punk punk the only thing that i did not like about the band i'm gonna be honest about this there was one thing i was very upset about me and my boy robbie were supposed to be at the same table everything was set up like wedding tables you had all the names together and i see me i got hubs

vibs kelly keegs and then i see the rocket carabas right he's at our table fresh back at barstool and i'm like all right let's rock baby and then um there's a there's a couple seats open and i'm like and jared goes yeah robbie's gonna be on stage and i'm like oh that's right like he's not gonna sit down at all so it it did kind of hurt that was my only problem is like like the band's come and hang out with the boys for a little bit yeah it was nice though thanks to everyone that came got to meet a couple basement boys there our guy sam lauderdale was there he's wearing his uh basement boys shirt i loved that that's my guy sam man sam the goat the goat basement boy right now he's we're gonna give him the basic boy of the week.

He's the current goat basement boy. That can change. So you guys want to do some stuff. Title holder or something. Yeah, yeah. You go to the show rocking the- I know our guy Frank also just sent us gifts, by the way. And he might overtake Sam with those gifts. We'll see.

I haven't opened the gift. We have to go. They were sent. And I was like, we're both not going to be in the office this week. I know. But we'll get there. It's going to be fun. All right.

Let's get into episode two of Ahsoka. So, again, at the beginning of the episode, Sabine's just fucking fine. She's in the hospital bed, but she's been worked on by some medic droids. And it seems like there was no even worry that she was going to pass away from that lightsaber stab. And Ahsoka hears what I think are her nightmares. I don't know if they're just her thoughts or her nightmares, but heavy spoilers seems to think maybe this indicates Sabine starting to become strong with the Force. If Ahsoka is able to read that from her, I don't know if that's necessarily true. I don't know if Ahsoka is strong enough to read thoughts from people that aren't one with the Force or whatnot.

But the professor goes and tells Sabine listen ahsoka or not whatever you got to do you should kind of like continue your training he kind of gives her like a a speech where he's like fucking just do it just do it get out there um i would have loved like feloni maybe like an i guess you can't do it this season in the future be like oh yeah you you had a cancerous tumor and the lightsaber like destroyed it and it actually made you more healthier than you've ever been in your life uh the hole in your body don't worry we have like a spray and everything's fine yeah but that between the end of the episode and the beginning of the next one when i learned she was alive that was like uh what the fuck is going on here right now don't you guys be doing this to me and i have to ask this question too even though

he was not on screen i just have to ask it right off the bat. Is Ezra potentially, potentially in a million years on the sus list. He can't be on the sus list, right? Oh, Oh, Oh,

I see that face, Bob. He's on the sus list. Unfortunately, it's not, it's not, I don't think it's his fault i love ezra listen i love ezra bridger great character fantastically written and i love the actor that they cast to play him in

live action we only saw him in hologram form but i think visually he looks perfect this guy maric wearing the mask really worries me and he worries worries a bunch of people. Our guy, Heavy Spoilers, again, brought this up. He's working for someone that we now know. Balon and Shin go and they go to this monument or whatever with that lady Ellsworth. Yeah. Magistrate Ellsworth. We find out she's a Nightsister, which is the Star Wars equivalent of a witch. There's that crazy witch magic, green witch magic scarlet witch style

almost or agatha style where i think there is a chance ezra is under some kind of mind control working for her there's a chance i don't think ezra he's not the kind of character that would ever turn bad he wouldn't he'll turn and just be like uh fuck ahsoka now if this character maric is ezra it's beyond his control and he's being brainwashed it's straight up return of the king i guess we don't we don't really talk lord of the rings here on the pod especially star wars but it's only one return yeah just basically think of a character who's you know under a trance or something like that. Hawkeye in Avengers. There we go.

Perfect. Perfectly well done, Rob. Way to steer me out of the skid there. I pulled that one. Pulled that one out of, you know, Thanos' Ant-Man ass. Because this is the thing. I'm seeing all these, like, holograms and like, oh, Ezra and this and that. And they're kind of speaking glowing.

I'm like, I've seen these stories enough times to know that dude ain't coming back as the fucking white knight on the horse that's going to save the day. That dude's going to come back and just let you fucking down and disappoint you. So, all right. Also, this whole episode. The sus radar is working right now, baby. Yes, let's go. The sus radar is definitely working for you. And this whole episode, we learn about the, I think it's the Eye of Sion,

which is this, I guess, mechanism or spaceship that they're using to try to get Thrawn back. Now, I assume that's going to be a success. We saw Thrawn in the fucking trailer. When they get Thrawn back, I don't see him being teleported with Ezra, you know? So they're going to have to get Ezra back a different way, I think.

That's just a prediction. But I do think there's a chance a big reveal would happen where you take that fucking mask off and it's Ezra. It's like, oh, what? And that would be the moment where Twitter would explode. Yep. Explode. People would explode like the fucking Death Star or the Death Star 2 or Starkiller Base. Here we go.

Fucking planet. August 24th. Put the stamp on the base basement boys call it the fucking mask is coming off it's ezra explosion on twitter on x elon might rename it twitter because x has been destroyed by the mask that's kind of the dude ision come on bob that's a little too close right there yeah right there i don't i don't like to say it but but it is. So, like I said, they meet her at this sort of monument. People are comparing it to the monument where Grogu sits and he does his little meditation thing,

and I think the tragedy was the episode. She uses her Nightsister magic to unlock the ball. Giant projection globe kind of thing comes over it. The Nightsisters of Dothamir. I love that. Dothamir is where Darth Maul's from from as well oh that's the mall planet i'm guessing it's like a lot of fire a lot of darkness maybe a lot of sulfur on the planet if i had it's got like a green atmosphere almost to it like the sky is hazy and dark and yeah it's green and then there's a lot of red i'm seeing too here there's greens and

some reds oh dathomir not a play like i don't care what the prices are on zillow i am not moving the fucking no if big cat moves to dathomir next no one's going to the next hq with him i'll tell you that right now no one's following him although i would love to see that in live action i think it'd look really really cool in live action oh they could make it with the volume and shit him and big cat hunting ghosts on dathomir would base that would be the only content they would be able to do because they'd just be getting haunted by ghosts based on the pictures i'm looking at it's the scariest place in the fucking all these painted guys are from always the painted guys are they the mall guys well the the paint with the bald ones yeah the bald ones they're. They're the witches. They're girls.

Oh, okay. Excuse me. I didn't want to assume genders. Don't start offending witches on the podcast. I don't want witches coming after us. I can't believe KFC just came on the podcast and offended them. I can't believe that was Kevin Clancy. I know.

He did the AI voice changer, made it sound like you and everything. Ahsoka goes to check out Sabine's apartment kind of give it a scan after the attack last night and she gets attacked by a leftover droid so she dismantles it quick but she takes the head she also heard some force echoes something from the jedi fallen order and survivor video games you could go over and hear like force echoes in certain spots so she brings this droid head back to sabine her tech genius genius in the hospital, for her to hack into it. So they hack into it and they find out that it's from a New Republic base on Corellia, Han Solo's home planet. And the next part of the episode, I have a feeling we're going to be aligned on this.

Just a random shot in the dark. Did you feel that it was very similar to the Lizzo Jack black Mandalorian episode? Yes. Yup. Definitely. Where it's, we've got corrupt droids and we don't know if the people in charge of these droids are necessarily the best people.

Cause we're in a post-war world and you know, everyone from the empire didn't get arrested. Some of them got disbanded and put into new Republic situations. It's a more serious version of that it doesn't feel like an snl skit with jack black and lizzo and baby yoda it's taken a little more seriously a little more investigative where um the colonel is like not he's being super dodgy he's not listening to harrah even though she's like the highest rank in the military she's like i could give you clearance for this just fucking tell me he like, I don't think I could do that.

And we find out that they're actually powering things with a hyper drive from a superstar destroyer, which I think is pretty cool. I like seeing the post-war fallout in that way. How are they using the empire technology now? I love that shit. If they're, if they're using it for power,

they're using it for money, whatever it may be. Think of like when Russia collapsed and you hear how they like using it for power, they're using it for money, whatever it may be. Think of when Russia collapsed and you hear how they sell tanks just to make money. And I have the same exact thing. Big Andor vibes with the old Imperial, or Mando vibes with the old Imperials and changing them. And even the Doctor, who we thought was sus, turns out he was actually kind of all right and making a change for the better. But same with the guy in this one who they were kind of, like you said, going at. And you just tell he was half-truths, kind of like trying to skirt them, all their questions.

Yeah. And then like, for the Empire! Immediately, yeah. Because the protocol droid ratted him out, which watching that, there was a hint of jealousy. I wanted to be that protocol droid. I was like, oh, that could have been my perfect role right there nothing like i like when protocol droids you take the annoying or like kind of almost funny parts of c-3po where they don't even pick up on the social cues like no this just happened right here and it's like

what are you talking about it's like when you're it's like when you're a parent hypothetically speaking and like you eat the last cookie and then you're like three-year-olds like daddy ate the cookie like god damn it you're you're not supposed to know not to say that to your mom so just hypothetically speaking a scenario like that hypothetically yeah hypothetically the protocol droids are just like the little kids they're so innocent because they don't know about it they just know their job and to report on what they see and i was like i kind of like that little twist on how they used it there and great casting on the colonel who just looked like a weasel from the second i saw him i was like absolute weasel energy from this guy i didn't trust him for a second sus is even the word it's just weasel like he can't be sus you're just it's like calling a weasel sus no he's a weasel that's

literally when you look it up in the dictionary it's like animal an animal that acts like a weasel weasel that's like sus is almost complimenting a weasel you know yes sus a sus weasel is a weasel that's good and nice and tells the truth yeah are you really a weasel are you someone like varmint or something yeah are you a ferret still one of the first things big cat ever said about me in the company he's like do you have a ferret i was like what you just look like a kind of guy who would have a ferret i was like oh motherfucker that's fun i had my star wars you know belt buckle on he was yeah he's just roasted me i'm speaking of roasting things let me roast some carrots over with factor factor is some of the best stuff in the entire world i'm telling you i got some of my fridge right now that we're going to eat for dinner later on.

I would love for them to do some kind of weird Star Wars meal where basically you just make a regular factor meal and you put blue food coloring in it. Yep. I was going to say, give me the blue milk, baby. Yeah. So the protocol droid rats them out. They all turn Ahsoka immediately,

like slices the blaster off, slices the windows open, because now we realize this hyper drive from the superstar destroyer they're ready to fucking take and they're like oh we're we're leaving the planet with this they want to use it for the eye of scion not the eye of sauron don't confuse those two they want to use it for the eye of scion so ahsoka jumps out the window she's got to go harrah's got to chase it down ahsoka gets confronted by maric so that's like she's you know occupied basically harrah and chopper first appearance of the guy chopper

go after this hyperdrive in the phantom so the phantom is a little side ship from the ghost which is the main rebel ship that everyone loves it's like a little it's like the ship that the guardians have that thor goes and takes an infinity war yeah it's a good way to put it um they go after that ahsoka's busy dealing with maric and we get what i think is a pretty fucking sweet lightsaber battle it wasn't like next level badass one of the next one of the best lightsaber battles but it was really cool it was unique in a lot of ways the way maric throws his double-sided lightsaber at ahsoka and then she just does the coolest fucking casual dodge oh that immediately made me be like oh this is why we love ahsoka she's just a badass in that way but they go after in the sky this

hyperdrive and chopper throws a tracker on it he gets it and it is like a yeah moment it felt like when we destroyed that transport in the millennium falcon at is like a yeah moment it felt like when we destroyed that transport in the millennium falcon at disney we all were like yeah like when chopper because he's looking through like what looks like a fucking junk draw to find this and she's like come on you gotta find it he throws it on there that gets it on um and then ahsoka bests maric but he gets away so maric ezra i don't know people are also saying maric means like wolf in some way and ezra has a very strong like connection to the wolves on his own planet is i'm gonna be upset if it's ezra i'm gonna be sad for my guy well speaking of my guy it was nice

to finally meet my guy chopper i got to got to see him and you said the guy chopper i don't know if that just slipped out on its own bob but i can tell there is some real love for this guy he's our guy yeah he's delivered already this fucking guy chopper is just like yo let's just fucking knock this fucking hyperdrive out of him and just murder the city of people below who gives a fuck and yes you called him a war criminal that's a war criminal line by my guy he's flexing on people like a droid i didn't know droids yeah he's flexing and his little warbles voiced by dave filoni it's like dave filoni's voice all distorted i and the fact that uh he even looks like the you know from what i've seen

out of the little videos and gifs of chopper, they nailed the fucking Chopper casting too based on everything I saw. So I am very excited. That was my – honestly, out of everything I saw, there was a lot of confusion. But Chopper is one for one so far. He's kind of just like, let's just do this. He's just fucking flying by the seat of his pants. I fucking love it, man. I cannot get enough of Chopper already.

I saw they added Ahsoka to Disney in Galaxy's Edge. So there's an actual actress walking around like Mando now. They added her premiere day just like Mando. They were really on it. I think they need Chopper as well. I want Chopper and R2D2 alongside each other just like

on a fucking boys trip going through Galaxy's Edge in Batuu. I would love to see that oh that would be incredible the fucking the body count of chopper and r2 just straight up coming through those those are like my they're gonna i'm gonna have just my favorite characters i have the money and falcon i have r2d2 chopper is gonna be there it's gonna be all an adamant object uh that sounds like the ship is awesome i'm i looked at those yeah the ghost is sweet yeah it's pretty good and the ghost is it's cool they've done like little nods to the ghost here and there it's in rise of skywalker when all the ships show up at the end and it's like it's not a

navy it's just people the ghost is actually one of the ships in the background there so i like the head canon of like somebody from this ship survived at least until Rise of Skywalker and fought in that battle. I know not everyone loves the sequels, but just a little bit of connectivity is nice. So that actually takes me to my one last gripe with all this. when the big thing that we're going after is a map, it took me back to a very dark time in my Star Wars fandom, which was Rise of Skywalker. Now, would you say Last Jedi was my darkest moment as a Star Wars fan because I was really so disappointed and it kind of just blew up the whole fan base?

I guess. But Rise of Skywalker, almost nobody liked when it was all said and done. And both sides of the fandom, the people who liked and didn't like last jedi they were both were like well that wasn't what we were looking for there and it was all about the map the first like half hour of the movie or whatever it was and then we're going after force awakens the whole movie is about the map to luke yeah that's right too oh i forgot about that that was another thing that i saw some people bring up i think maybe who brought up up on Twitter?

Someone brought up on Twitter and they were like, this is like the fourth time in X amount of years where we're doing a Star Wars project based on a map to so-and-so. It's the MacGuffin to a MacGuffin to a MacGuffin. Yeah. So, again, I loved the first two episodes, not without their faults. It was definitely the pacing thing that people are bringing up i do think that's like a valid complaint in terms of some there was a lot of like all right a lot of talking a lot of talking and then an abrupt action scene out of nowhere which i'm always okay with i you know i love all the action shit but i think it's gonna find its mark along the way it's gonna find its footing um and then we go ahead i compare it to

um i remember the first few episodes of andor where it was like i was confused there was a lot of talking and then the actions and again i i when you just said is exactly what i was thinking i was like there was just a lot of dialogue i was kind of winding down and start looking at the phone or something and then boom we got a fucking lightsaber we're doing lightsabers what the fuck's going on right now again you have to realize i am not used to a lot of lightsaber scenes i had the mandalorian where you have a couple here and there the dark saber but and or you're not doing lightsabers and then this show obviously isoka is a jedi so or she excuse me i think every week we're on her not a jedi not a jet um so it was just like holy shit but i was like man it seems like there's just

a lot of talking and i don't know if this because i'm clueless, but I guess that is also just how it's been so far. I think they're trying to catch everyone up to the best they can on the history between these characters and stuff. I was also thinking, did they split them up to try to catch everyone up on their history? Like if we just jumped into, oh, these are all Ahsoka's friends and she knows them all. Would some people be confused as to like, why weren't these friends with her when we saw her in Book of Boba Fett or Mando? You're playing to different audiences.

It's hard. You're playing to the hardcores and you're playing to the majority of people who probably just know her from the live action stuff at this point. Several years ago, we're saying several years ago, when that's the only thing,

when they were talking about the people who took down the empire, I'm like, are we talking Luke Han Solo? Like, who are we representing here? And then I thought we were going to get Wedge. I thought Wedge was going to make an appearance. I didn't know what their special guest was. So I do think this, it's just like Andor. They're taking off right now.

You know, when you take off, you get those couple little bumps when you're just getting through the turbulence. And it's like, everything's going to be smooth once we once we're up there again i don't want to do it to the show it's almost unfair but like the goal the bar to clear would be andor that is fucking i don't that's almost impossible to do because of how awesome it ended if you can just get try to get to that level and just you know have some nice smooth sailing once we get above the first few episodes of getting everyone caught up, I think we're going to be fine. So we end the episode with Sabine cutting her hair,

very much going back to a more Rebels-like look for her with the short hair because she's got to pop that Mando helmet back on, and I don't think she wants long hair with it. She does grab all her old armor. It's a cool suit-up scene where she kind of places it all there. She reunites with ahsoka to go after that hyperdrive and then we see the hyperdrive being locked into that eye of scion balon is after ahsoka i don't think he fully wants to kill her he's like ah it's a shame there's not

many jedi out there i guess i'm gonna have to kill this guy but we end the episode on a note of like hey the eye of scion is almost done. Like, I think Thrawn's coming. And I hope he comes soon because I would love to see what he's like in live action. He's one of the best villains we've ever gotten in terms of the canon and history between Heir to the Empire and whatnot and his books, the Zahn books. And then when they brought him in in Rebels, same voice actor. It's the voice actor is the actual actor who's going to be playing him.

I'm thrilled. I think this is a very, very, very good start to the show, a very good place to kick things off. With Thrawn, I'm just listening to all you guys. You guys tell me how awesome he is. And again, I love me a good villain. That's very much the fact. So I'm excited for him.

I'll give him some time to kind of get his balance as well as they're catching us up. We'll also, you know, being true to the story and the character. So I'm excited about that. I'm actually thinking, though, we're dealing a lot of maps, hyper drives, working, not working, and then Tatooine. That would be like basically three of the big boxes on Star Wars Bingo. Let's mix things up a little bit, boys. But other than that, we're looking good. I'm very excited right now. i'd like to see some new

planets as well like even if they're planets from rebels or the cartoons that we haven't seen in live action let's mix up the settings uh are we gonna see some freaky witch shit at some point too is that fair i think we are yeah i think some freaky witch shit some rituals some i mean the second episode is called toil and trouble. Yeah, true. Isn't that the whole Macbeth thing? Double, double toil and trouble. Wow. Bob Fox dropping fucking Macbeth lines on us here. I didn't see that coming. Also, is it true that you didn't become a Mandalorian because you didn't want

to cut your hair? Is that a true rumor? I saw that on Twitter. Yeah, I was close. It was like a close decision, but then it was like – Lady Fox said no, keep the hair. She likes the hair. It was basically like Baby Yoda when he had the lightsaber in front of him in the chain mail. I was like, you know what?

Lightsaber. But, you know, everyone listening to this podcast, you fucking don't tell the Jedi order about Lady Fox. Yeah. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. I'm talking about Mrs. Fox. Mama Fox. Rob, get in your head.

It's too nice. Funny, funny note to end this podcast on. My brother is friends with someone who, in real life, told a woman he had been dating for years that he could not marry her because Jedis don't get married. Oh, my God. They're no longer together because he said, I'm a Jedi and Jedi don't get married. And that was it. I mean, I thought Robbie was the craziest of the Foxes.

That guy's crazy like a fox. What the hell was he? He's not even a nerd, to be honest. He just really loves Star Wars. I think he truly, in his mind, I think he's not even a nerd to be honest he just really loves like star i think he truly like in his mind i think he's like i'm a jedi so i can't do that you know it's part of the order i in a sick way i respect it i'm clearly clearly i'm not the girl he's talking because i'm guessing she didn't respect it very no she didn't like that she did not like that but yeah that's it's a funny every time i think about this guy yeah he's jedi

all right thank you to everyone for listening again next week and the weeks uh coming hopefully we'll have these up a little quicker because of the tuesday night drops um we had the barstool awards and a bit of travel and whatnot so we were a little late on this one thank you to everyone for staying patient with us and we'll see you next week for more Ahsoka and hopefully a little more Thrawn.
