And Clem, we've got a big show today. We've got a guest today. I'm sure the people have seen it in the headline and in the thumbnail. We convinced Dave to come on the show. We got the big man, the boss man, the head of the galaxy. I'm trying to think of ways to say Darth Vader without saying Darth Vader.

We got him. He's here. Chancellor Bortnoy instead of Chancellor Palpatine. Which, by the way, we didn't mention Mon Mothma chancellor now congrats to mon mothma left the chancellor oh she's unreal every time i see mon mothma i smile and uh just like with dave he's become the emperor of barstool again and here we are uh happy the empire has risen again it's it's almost like it kind of is like the uh the rise of skywalker it's like dave portnoy has re-bought Barstool Sports. I was like, wait, what?

What happened? That was kind of what happened to her life. Somehow, Portnoy returned. That was a great interview. We talked all about Ahsoka and the general Disney Star Wars shows, Dave Star Wars fandom in general. But before we get into it, we got to shout out our longest sponsor, 3Chi.

And what could this mean is body physically there three chi goes real well with this episode of my mom's basement the mere uh mention of the world between worlds makes me feel like i'm taking three chi uh but i had it uh last week and when i was younger and i did my cannabis you didn't know if you're gonna get like the lazy feeling or the paranoid feeling. It's just so nice now. You kids these days don't understand how good you have it, but it really is the truth, man. Now I can take it, and I'm like, this is exactly the kind of high I'm going to have.

So without further ado, let's get into this interview with Dave Portnoy. Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum.

All right, welcome back to the show. Now joining us, a very special guest. We've had a lot of Star Wars fans on the podcast, a lot of Star Wars fans from the office. Apologies to Jeff D. Lowe, Ken Jack, Devlin, a lot of our geek friends. This is our favorite Star Wars fan to talk about the galaxy far, far away with. I like that.

Dave Portnoy. What's going on, Dave? you i'm good i'm good are you in a good mood is today a good day for you i know yeah no i shit to do today it's been a busy day but i'm in a good mood it's it's um it's whatever it's back to the grind but yeah it's been one thing after another and now you're gonna end your day talking star wars with the nerds the base which is fun i like talking star wars you're my you're my guy robbie when i have star wars issues or questions or whatever it may be uh i'm quick to reach out to you so i know you're the sequel trilogy kind of like kick-started your star wars fandom movies with ray and stuff you love that but the mandalorian obviously hit at the perfect time after that baby yoda became the center of your heart seemed like you always appreciated star wars before all

that though is that fair to say yeah i always appreciated star wars and was kind of fascinated by it and i'd seen all the movies like a few times but you're right yeah chronologically like the new ones with ray i loved like and i i would people, it's like you don't even have to like the old ones. Like they can almost stand by themselves. I thought they were that good. And then Mandalorian came along at the right time. And I've been consuming everything new really since then. I do have a question.

I don't know how long they've been doing it. But the beginning of the Star Wars on like disney when they show like the different helmets like that's the best like beginning for anything ever it's good yeah how long have they been showing just since mandalorian they're so good yeah i mean the star wars has a lot of good beginnings though with the yeah they do with the galaxy far away scroll yeah but when you turn the lights off and you're on your disney plus and that thing comes on it like locks you in no agreed i love thinking of davy page he's just turning on the disney plus and he just gets sucked into the and the little things going on yeah it's very cool i don't want to get too involved in your

personal life but is this the sort of star wars the sort of thing where you're like honey come over we're watching star no i watch it alone just alone just yeah she's not into the star wars stuff i love that's a basement boy move yeah she kind of likes like the the man the baby yoda like cuteness but she's not watching the shows with me yeah no it's fair who doesn't love baby yoda to be honest you're a psychopath i think the one, we pointed this out last week, that proves you as a true Star Wars fan is you never took a shot at the Star Wars logo on the Dragon Pizza Guy shirt.

I think a non-Star Wars fan would be like, you fucking nerd. Yeah. Why are you wearing that? You just went with the size and the, you know. Yeah, I had no problem with this. I wish he was not wearing Star Wars, to be totally honest. Same.

I disavowed. Yeah, that was tough problem with this. I wish he was not wearing Star Wars, to be totally honest. Same. I disavowed. Yeah, that was tough that he was wearing that logo because it does fit the stereotype of a negative Star Wars fan. But I obviously am a Star Wars fan, so I did not go after that low-hanging fruit. Let he who cast the first stone. I can't go. That wasn't the issue there.

Speaking of fat Star Wars fans, I remember back in the day, this was before I even started part-time. You said, I want to get a big fatso here that loves Star Wars just to cover Star Wars. I don't even really get into Star Wars. I just love how much they love Star Wars. And that was when I said, you know what?

I might be able to make it to Barstool Sports. I'll be Dave's fat Star Wars guy. Now you have a skinny Star Wars guy. I mingle Yeah. And now you have a skinny Star Wars guy. I mingle in it, but Robbie's a skinny Star Wars guy. But you have to be happy. You have coverage here of the Star Wars universe, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, we definitely do.

I mean, at this point, we have a crazy amount of Star Wars guys in the company. Like, we put together a whole Disney trip based around the fact that we have a bunch of Star Wars guys. Yeah, I mean, it's super cool. Like, the whole – that's what I love. I like, that's a lot of my questions to you, Robby. He's like, well, how's this fit into the like overall arch? Because I haven't seen like Clone Wars, which I know in like the live action,

which this Thrawn guy is from that world. So like, I don't know who Thrawn is, except that he's coming in. He's going to like be part part of this part of Ashoshka but other than that I had no idea like Ashoshka is that real Ashoshka a hokey whatever her name is and now she appeared in Mandalorian because she had baby Yoda for a minute yeah but that was where I saw her so she was from the Clone. She was Anakin's apprentice in the prequels. And, you know, spoilers for Ahsoka this point forward.

If you haven't seen the most recent Ahsoka, we're going to spoil some shit. When you see Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker in this episode, does that move the needle for you? Are you like a prequel guy in that? No, not a ton. You don't even care about that because he that was a bad star like he's part of a bad star wars so it's it's like i don't like anakin i don't like that like that did nothing for me really it didn't move me like when you see a luke pop up in mandalorian or things like that didn't have the same impact. And as I told you,

I'm not all in yet. I really hate this girl who got killed. Sabine? Yeah, I hate Sabine. Stinks. I didn't watch the... There's a cartoon behind this

and anyone who's watched Rebels, they're jerking off to this show. I think me and you, I feel like I'm watching someone else's show like i've liked some of the lightsaber things but other than that i'm like these people stink yeah are you still not in on it after episode four though it was a better the bad guy's good the bad like the main the main bad guy is a good bad guy but sabine like i don't even know what her point is she's the least talented jedi ever yeah she's acting like it she's get sliced and diced every time she's in a battle like she basically just gave the thing back to the like she's useless now i don't know if you

knew this sabine in the cartoon is the person who gives the darksaber to Bo-Katan from the Mandalorian, which kind of starts that whole, like, the curse of the Darksaber, basically. Say that again. Sabine from Ahsoka gave the Darksaber to Bo-Katan before all the Mandalorian and all that shit, before Moff Gideon got it from her. But they say maybe that started the curse because she didn't win it in combat. She just handed it over because she felt like she wasn't ready for it. Wait, now who's Bo-Katan?

Bo-Katan's the one from the Mandalorian short red hair from the last season. She ended up with the Dark Saber at the end. She's kind of like the main Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. She's the leader of both sides. Right, which is why I'm paying attention and that happened with Boba Fett, which kind of sucked.

And then it switched into Mandalorian and became must watch. Yeah. So that's what they do. That's what they do to you. Like, this could happen here. I can't believe you're still not, like, fully in on it after episode four. Because I thought, I love the cartoons, obviously. I'm the biggest nerd there is. like fully in on it after episode four. Cause I thought I love the cartoons. Obviously I'm the biggest nerd there is,

but the first three I thought were good. And then the fourth, I was like, Holy fuck. That was great. No, I don't know. So being just like leaving with the dude and I'm like,

come on, show some fucking hearts of being go down. I guess she did take a, but that's star Wars. You know, Luke goes return of the Jedi goes up with Darth Vader into the Emperor's Palace. Then The Last Jedi, Rey goes, surrenders herself to Kylo Ren. That's kind of a Star Wars poetry.

Yeah, but Luke didn't get cut in half like the episode before. See, that I'm not going to defend. That was crazy. And then in the recent episode, the lightsabers're chopping up houses just by like a missed shot and it's like you know the world was getting cut in half on a missed blade it's like we can't forget sabine got cut in half two episodes ago yeah did you know darth maul who gets cut in half in the phantom menace you know they brought him back after that in the Clone Wars? It was actually pretty popular. You told me that. Yeah, Qui-Gon dies with a hole in him. That same exact hole, basically, that Sabine had, and he died.

Yet everyone's just getting chopped into pieces, and they all just walk away unscathed, basically. Right. I feel as fucked. And I do like Ashoki, but she's not my favorite Jedii of all time i don't know you know what i think so far in the in the live action she's been a little too stoic like she's right it's almost like uh trying to be like a yoda type like yes i don't mean to talk but it's so calm and like everything's slow and a lot of it's just like our facial expressions like looking i don't mean to talk but it's so calm and like everything's slow and a lot of it's just

like our facial expressions like looking i don't know i'm watching it and i don't like this witch lady because i'm telling you she's in seinfeld so you said that and i look you said that i looked it up. She ain't in Seinfeld. She, the closest thing I could find. She hasn't been in a lot. She's in a comedy of some sort. She's in one episode of Mad TV from 1999. No, that's not what I know her from. So her name is Diana Lee Inosanto and she's Bruce Lee's goddaughter.

That's like apparently why she's famous. And she's been a stunt woman for most of her career. No, that's not who it is. What's her name? Diana Lee Inosanto. So what am I thinking of? I don't know why you think she's in Seinfeld. I'm looking it up here

and apparently a lot of people are saying she looks like someone. Trying to figure it out on the fly she looks like a comedian then if it's not her yeah and that's why you can't like what's her name it's diana lee inosanto and i didn't realize this till i watched a heavy spoilers video this week but she's wearing a yellow jumpsuit as a prisoner in the first episode they gave her a bruce lee jumpsuit because she's bruce lee's goddaughter a little fun fact for the people out there i don't know if they're listening

does she she's not in the mandalorian at all though is she she is no she is in one episode she's in the episode that ahsoka's in. And that's the first time they battle. And she's like, where the fuck is Thrawn? Thrawn, by the way, Dave mentioned him. Thrawn is very much... They're building this guy up, Thrawn. Yeah. He's never lost a battle except for the one that he lost.

He's a strategic mastermind. I know that sounds crazy. He's a strategic mastermind, though. His ship is like a big Star Destroyer. It's got like a fucking cool tentacle design on the bottom. He's very much, he was originally kind of space Hitler. And then he was kind of, they kind of retconned it. And now he's a little redeemable in some people's eyes.

I don't think he is, though. Yeah, I told you, I read up on him, and it didn't make it. I wasn't sure whether it was totally bad when I read up on him. Yeah, he got so popular that they kind of rewrote him as this anti-hero type thing. But I think he's a fucking villain. He's basically Hitler. I mean, come on. I'm trying to look up this.

I'm going to find out who she reminds me of. I know. It's not Allison Janney. Who? Allison Janney. Allison Janney? It's the voice of Austin. Shout out, Austin.

No. I'll figure it out. Leave it in the comments. This is a good thing to get engagement i'm looking it up too because dave i've been saying the same thing and it takes me out of the universe there's not a lot of people that take me out of the universe because she's like a corny comedian type figure it's not it's like a dry like a weird side character in seinfeld i'm telling you it's like there's something to that.

You know, what does suck for her too, is the two people who are her henchmen are so much better than her in the show. The two Jedi that, that is stuff there. I think they are. I agree with you. Like maybe the best part of the show so far,

such a shame that guy passed away. He's not seeing all the flowers he's getting right now, but amazing performance. Yeah. No, he's great. He's a great villain and he's a good villain flowers he's getting right now, but amazing performance. Yeah. No, he's great. He's a great villain and he's a good villain because he's saying things that aren't totally villainous,

but he's very much a villain. Yeah. He's, he's showing maybe signs that he'll turn. I think at some point in the series, to be honest, I think he might turn and kill the witch or something. Like,

I feel like this guy could work at barstool. Like he just tells it like it is. He doesn't't choose sides like dave you always say the left and the right they're just a bunch of fucking days this guy's right down the middle he tells like it is listen you you you stop fighting i'm gonna take you to your guy i will we'll use this map yeah that was that was like crazy when he's like let her go yeah yeah that dragon pizza guy he would have never done that he would have just just taken the fucking- What was up with when Ashoki grabbed the thing and like burned her hand? You know, I think that was a reference to Indiana Jones, Raiders of the Lost Ark, when he, the guy grabs that fucking symbol and it burns the hand.

They love to make references to other like Lucasfilm projects. So, you know, the guy, the guy who's like behind this whole thing, Dave Filoni, have you heard that name? No. He's kind of like the heir to George Lucas. When George Lucas stepped away, this was his guy, his apprentice. And Dave Filoni is a 24-7 cowboy hat wearer who just lives, breathes, and dies Star Wars. He made all the cartoons, the Clone Wars, the Rebels that people love.

And this is like his baby because ahsoka was kind of his character so these are all the toys that we thought like ahsoka would be in trouble when she got pushed off a cliff and the other girl is like like you know she got sliced in half and it's fine so i don't think like get a jedi getting pushed off a Like, I don't know why she's waking up and I don't know where she woke up, a dream or whatever, an Anakin's lair. She woke up in the world between worlds, Dave. This is another thing from Rebels, the cartoon.

It's a place beyond space and time. It's not necessarily time travel. That's, is that what, is that what the bad guys worried about landing in? If they didn't do calculations correct maybe not that i think if you do the calculations correct you could just be in no man's land and nobody could find you forever but the world between worlds is is fucked up it's i think it's going to break a lot of brains because it's you could kind of call it

like a purgatory she ain't dead but she ain't quite alive right now so she got damaged more by that than the girl getting sliced in half that's a problem she was fine and and there was no reason for her to get sliced either because in this episode didn't the girl do the fucking batman fucking smoke pellet and disappear why don't you just do that in the prior episode oh that that smoke pellet you're not dead what the smoke what wait i thought you're talking about when a choki won her smoke guy no no that guy that guy just turned into smoke he's not dead he's dead i'm talking about the blonde shin the apprentice oh yeah yeah to escape she just threw down the batman pellet and like poof yeah yeah yeah the smoke guy we we had every theory in the book about he was

kind of like a gas bomb yeah he was just a poof yeah well like why was that guy carrying again i've seen some complaints because i do pay attention They're being a little liberal with who's Jedi and who's carrying lightsabers. That bad guy should not have been a lightsaber guy. I kind of like the idea of a witch animating like a bad guy. If you are carrying a red lightsaber,

that's a big deal. Hey, David, preach it to the choir choir here i'm just happy i have someone who sees it from my angles too right now calling they don't even give baylon and shin red lightsabers in this they gave him the orange which we've never seen before it does not even white in the middle it's just like an orange neon saber because they wanted to say they ain't sith no a red lightsaber is like we don't even know who this this and by the way he got his ass kicked in every fight like he at no point was that mask guy like a threat to anybody he kept going up against ashok he worked like that guy if you're having a red versus a white dark light battle like it

should be like the the guy we've all given credit to versus a Shoki, not some guy in a mask who just goes in. There's a punching bag. Every time he's out there, you basically, if like you're a college football player, you have to have a helmet full of stickers before you get the right red.

Yes. Before they get orange or yellow or something. I could be crazy. You guys are experts. I do feel like it used to be when someone clicks their lightsaber and it goes up that's like a defining moment in a movie a show it's happening every five minutes these lights are going on and off every two seconds are you anti-lightsabers no whoa whoa don't be throwing around that's crazy i i mean what's the problem with that i think i'm saying the exact opposite if you start using them like a fork and knife kind of loses the like importance

when when you see it no i could see that it's like who is that guy why does that guy have a lightsaber did that guy just go to disney like we didn't get to make it he just paid the 300 yeah yeah r.i.p disney dave like hey cut the line right here you made a red when you went to disney was that like just because you were wearing that or you feel more than good i feel like i'm i'm more like i'm probably more bad than good so yeah like people have said to us like compare dave to a star wars thing and we don't know if it's an insult to say like darth vader or so i like i love darth vader in fact i would say i i like vader vader and i know like anakin but we could use more vader in some of these i agree i mean vader's been awesome in all the shows. Even the shows that haven't been so good,

Vader's been pretty badass. Yeah, and like when you see even Smash, like just any more like pure Vader references, the better. Which I think we might get. Do you watch closed captions? Are you closed caption gang? No, I don't. I don't know if you realized it then

at the end of this episode, Anakin's theme turned right to Vader's theme and the close. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know,

so no, I noticed that I didn't close captions for that. Yeah. Okay. I think this Anakin could possibly be a bad force vision of some sort. And we could see Vader in the next episode. The next episode is playing in theaters, 10 theaters across the country are airing it live because Disney apparently has so much faith in it being awesome that's that's big and we said it

after after rogue one when he goes in and just crushes everyone in rogue one i'm like let's get more of that vader but i think it was kevin smith said make him like jaws where you know he's out there and then he just comes up 30 seconds wipes out everyone and then he's back in the water and you go, oh, fuck. That guy's, you know, we're scared of Vader. He's in the water with us right now. I think that's the way they should play it, whether it's with this Hayden Christensen guy or we get to do with the mask on.

Whenever we're in Vader era, he should come out and just, like you said, the red lightsaber comes, the music plays, and we're just saying, oh, shit. That was the best part about Obi-Wan. Did you kind of feel like that's with obi-wan there was a couple did you watch obi-wan i haven't watched obi-wan oh you didn't you probably should just maybe watch like a five minute youtube i i heard i heard it was terrible it's it's listen it's not great that's why i i i wasn't on it when it was coming out and and I didn't hear one person say it was good.

But the Vader parts in it are fucking awesome. He goes through a village. I think he sees a mom run out and be like, don't touch my kid. And he just snaps the mom's neck right in front of the kid. He's like, fuck that kid. Vader is badass in these. So of the shows you've seen, The Mandalorian, of boba fett and andor which we haven't even touched on at all how would you rank them i still have mandalorian one uh and or two book of

boba fett three i like immense power so like knowing like it does nothing when you keep saying there's a wimp who got cut in half is like she sucks like she can't even fucking move like a dime on a table like get her out like i'm not in for a week don't you think it's going to be a big moment when she eventually uses the force yeah but her force is going to be like throwing water in someone's face it's it probably won't be like some grand whereas with like baby yoda like i love watching i like to me he could like how much power he can wield once he figures it out i keep waiting for that and he does the little thing like when that huge animal is coming he's like and then he passes out like i love that. I like more bigger, powerful things. So the Andors of the world that don't focus on that at all,

there's no lightsabers, there's no giant empire necessarily. It's all like the regular people. You were in on that though, right? Yeah, but it's playing to a bigger theme. And it's a more adult show obviously but it's um it and the andor leads to that movie right rogue one yeah rogue one which was really cool so you kind of have that in your head um and you know there's this big like evil empire getting ready to like reboot itself so i thought it's been really good and

you were a thrones guy too and kind of people said this is kind of the star wars thrones right where some political stuff going on and espionage a lot of different things and then it all comes together and that dude we love that guy luthan he said that he had that uh quote like what is it my i dream in nightmares or something like that yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah. That was the fucking best monologue ever. The guy running the little antique store. Yeah. He puts his rings on. He puts his wig on.

He gets all like into his mood. Yeah, no. Andor is great. But I mean, for me still, Mandalorian is my favorite of the bunch. Is Baby Yoda your number one guy? Yeah. I'm talking all movies,

all everything ever. Baby Yoda or your number one guy? Yeah. I'm talking all movies, everything ever. Baby Yoda or Rey? Vader. Vader one, Rey two, Baby Yoda three. That's right. You realize how divisive the sequels are, right? Yes. We've talked about that. Yeah.

Clem is on the other side. I loathe them. I love Rey, but I loathe episodes eight and nine. I hated The Last Jedi, and I hated Rise of Skywalker. I love Rey, but I loathe episodes eight and nine. I hated the last Jedi and I hated rise of Skywalker. Yeah. That's dumb. What's your problem with it? We've talked about it actually. Yeah. I just thought it was just horrible. I was like, what am I watching? The watching princess Leia go through this, the stars, you know,

Carrie Poppins, that was just a ridiculous scene. It was, it was ridiculous from the moment they did it. I don't think it would have went flew with George Lucas lucas if he's still in control i don't think they would have done it now with disney plus it's just ryan johnson got in jedi was the one that was the most like george lucas's original plans that he transferred to disney when the sale in 2012 october hey original plans were the first three the original trilogy so those i think were the best ones of all time and don't act tough because the boss man's here is on your side right now they did a great job with ray and like her slowly like learning her powers and like i said i like immense power and everyone she's got so much so i loved it i couldn't she'll be back

i can't movie's been announced that daisy ridley's coming back the disney boys i thought i thought that was daisy ridley at disney i like, oh my God, Daisy Ridley is just sitting on this amusement. I couldn't believe it. Whoever they had doing that, it was her. I'm telling you. Yeah. They added Ahsoka like two weeks ago. Oh, really?

Yeah. She's been walking around the park. Interesting. Now, I feel like this is a good note to kind of wrap things up on. If you're a betting man, does Disney Boys Round 2 happen in 2023? Well, I heard they changed it. They didn't want it to be the Disney Boys. They were trying to sell an ad.

Yeah, I mean, I love doing it, but what's this? Just the same thing over? What if we do the Universal Boys or something? Then what do you do there, Jaws? They took that away, I think. Oh, that's crazy that wasn't disney originally no no no it was universal then they took it away yeah which sucks harry potter like 30 not nearly to like star wars yes yeah jeff d low maybe we could figure something else out you know what i am? A Dune guy Oh yeah Not a Jeff D'Elo level Dune guy though

But you know what's crazy about Dune is that Star Wars Was like basically based on Dune Yeah George kind of He said I'll have a bit of that More than a bit He said I'll have a bit of that Like three quarters of that sandwich He said I'll take a farm boy

On a sand planet and we'll turn him into this superstar. It's very similar. I think we got to find something else for the Disney boys to do then. Like maybe when Comic-Con comes back, the Disney boys do Comic-Con. I think the Disney boys have potential as the new Barstool Bro Show. Interesting. Interesting. Jeff D. Lowe with his militaristic list of how we

go to explore exactly he's one of the only guys oh my god when you give him some power he'll tell dave what to do yeah he i mean he told us that guardians of the galaxy ride was going to be star tours v2 and he also said i was on it when he clearly was he's like i've never done it but it's like i know it does this this this all right get ready for the left turn coming up here yeah yeah jeff d low he's the best all right dave we really appreciate you coming on congrats on a million subs on the one bite channel thank you to that fat so in the fat shirt we won't say what type of shirt but in no offense to fat people, Glenn, but it's like that guy.

And it wasn't even being fat. He's not crazy fat. He's just the shirt was too tight. All right. Thanks, guys. All right. Appreciate it, Dave. All right.

There we go. Dave Portnoy in my mom's basement. Some people thought it would never happen, but it happened. I didn't get to ask him. I know he said he's been spending like $200 million basically on his house, just keeps upgrading, upgrading, writing checks. I want to say how much of that uh 200 million dollars or whatever it is was put up by the basement boys like did we get a pack of gum in the house for you with our channel what else what have we uh how we fill dave's pockets over the years

you know what i've been sneaky trying to like get him to do i'm trying to like inception this thought into his brain just to like live vicariously through him i want him to buy some movie props for his new miami house i've been trying to tell him remember back in the day you tried to buy the point break surfboard and it was like out of your price range then fucking contact the guy that outbid you and get that point break surfboard we were talking about random movie i said like fucking you want to get the real one of this? You want to get the real Luke Skywalker helmet? I won't even be jealous.

I'll just want to come over and see it. When we went to the Disney boys trip, there were a few moments where you could tell Dave was becoming like a little kid. Like we all do at Disney. When he first put the outfit on and started telling people where to go, that was a kid when he looked like a nazi yeah that was an interesting time and when we went to the store and they had the melted vader helmet that like kylo ren has he goes whoa that's dope like he was the wheels were turning and you know i don't even know it was hundreds of dollars obviously that's not an issue for him i think he's probably like i don't want to have to get this give it to aussie dave have him put it in the car, lug it back to wherever.

But if you could get like the legit, a legit Vader helmet of some sort, I think that would be a home run for him. I think based on that, I always knew he liked Vader at the same point when we were in Disney, he kept saying like, I like, I like the, I like rooting for the good guys. He roots for the good guys, but I think he respects guys like Vader more. So I feel like he would probably go with a Vader prop over anything. So maybe we'll get him. We'll show him a really nice auction of a really nice game-used Vader helmet,

and then we'll get him to buy it. I don't know how much money Dave necessarily has now, but can we get him an actual miniature of the death star that was unexploded like the actual death star that they were they were you know rotating on a blue screen back in 77 kind of sick put it in a glass case or something and then like we could we could have some kind of light show where whenever his enemies fail instead of popping a champagne bottle could be like death star like blows the champagne off the lid or something. Do you think he'd ever show up if we ever got him a full,

like, and I'm talking heavy duty, Hollywood level quality Vader outfit. Do you think he'd ever throw on a Vader? Like he wouldn't do it. I think he would. I say yes. I mean, they used to have one for, I know they used to have one for the Blackout show

or the Blackout tour. Blackout tour, yeah. Devlin told me that they used to just have costumes that they'd go on stage in and he was like our vader one was the screen accurate like we were like you know making tons of money from the blackout tour like let's reinvest into the blackout tour i think devlin would go out a vader costume and like hype the people up i i do think people hear the the vader theme play as dave walks past him sometimes in the office too so he doesn I do think people hear the Vader theme play as Dave walks past him sometimes in the office too. So he doesn't even need to hear that, have the song playing.

It just will play in people's heads. Like, you know, like that, that fight with Clemmer the other day, I was like, holy shit. Like we have a legit battle going on here. That was crazy. My favorite part of the whole thing was Feidelberg calling him the sheriff. I'm saying unironically, like, well,

Clemmer's kind of the sheriff around these parts. It made me laugh so hard. And I love Clemmer. He's my honkers teammate. I thought he had balls going up against Dave like that. And then you got to respect someone with balls, but like, oh my God,

I was afraid for him for sure. I said, now I think he should just dress like a sheriff. I think that'd be so funny. I saw someone put him as Woody from toy story. And it actually like, they didn't have to do that much work. I was like,

holy shit. Clemmer is Woody this whole time. They have the same legs and arms and everything it's it's unbelievable and like trust me he went at dave just one-on-one job potentially on the line i didn't even want to argue about the last jedi with dave just because i didn't want to end up pissing him off and i hate him on my side i ganged right up on you i knew you were going to do your opinion don't matter it doesn't matter what you think i want right up on you i knew you were going to do your opinion don't matter it doesn't matter what you think i went the rock on you nothing better than like when mom or dad has your side in an argument and it's like yeah you're losing this no matter what just standing

The GOAT. We should have taken advantage of having Dave on and just asked him to take us to other cool things with GameTime, right? I know. I tried to sneak that in for the disney boys at the end just try to again inception a thought into his mind of like the new barstool bro show dave and the nerds dave and his gang of nerds it's kind of like uh like when steve harrington starts hanging out with the stranger things kids yes like we're kind of a fucking sick duo. I don't know if you feel it, but I'm feeling it. All right, let's get into the nitty gritty of Ahsoka episode four.

We didn't want to go through the entire rundown of the episode with Dave because obviously busy guy, we felt bad enough taking up time on a schedule. This was directed by Peter Ramsey Klemp, the co-director of Into the Spider-Verse and the director of episode five of The Mandalorian last season, The Pirate, which looking back, I think was one of our favorite episodes of the whole season. Had that awesome practical effect pirate with the vines all over him. It was just a sick episode. This guy, Peter Ramsey, after this episode, after Into the Spider-Verse, obviously a masterpiece, and the pirate pirate he's one of my guys that i'm trusting like rick famuita i'm just rolling that one right off the tongue there i love it

so i mean i guess we kind of like i don't want to say spoiled it but a little preview of of how we thought this episode i definitely i liked it it was clearly the high point of the season so far the lightsabers in particular i still had like i still have beef legitimate beef with sabine and there is still like i'm still feel like i'm watching a show that other people like i'm catching up in season five of a show while everyone else has like five seasons worth of stuff they're living and dying with but as soon as i saw fallen jedi i'm like all right let's cook here that was the title of the episode and that's why i was like shit can get uh shit's gonna get nuts here at some point and after the episode it's like well who's that about could be about someone could be about someone else um did sabine redeem herself at

all in your eyes in this episode like did she move the needle for you at all i thought when she put the fucking mando helmet back on started using the grappling hook pulling people into ahsoka i thought she was kind of cool in this episode so i think she uses the mandalorian tools better than the mandalorian right because we always said dude well at least you didn't use the blowtorch the goddamn blowtorch yeah no blowtorch well she was in a forest thank god yeah she started a forest fire oh man i just saw a wild i just blogged about a wildfire video it was fucking the most crazy footage i've ever seen uh so sabine my note says it here sabine stinks i just put that down but i understand like

i don't know maybe it was speaking out of anger because she's instead of fighting she like goes on the ship with him thing is she does have her friend there and i don't know the whole ezra backstory as much, or I did watch a couple of people send me like a 10 minute recap. So I do have a little bit of it, a little bit of the like grasp on everything, but I don't really get that whole entire like relationship. However,

this is when I got mad, Bob, I was on Reddit, just like, you know, looking up some stuff about the show learning. She has a body count of 50 000 plus people that bitch being 50 000 that must include like destroyed a ship at some point that

had so many 50 000 so much holy fuck so it says here she killed 50 528 humans right one male one female 50 526 unknown gender uh okay well that had to be yeah she was involved in like killing a star destroyer i think i think that those numbers are she killed up the dome whatever the dome is yes um and then she destroyed a ship uh she killed 30 to set 39 fry knocks four droids three kriknos three rodians and one victims of unknown gender or species if you had said over under how many what's sabine's body count i would have said seven and a half based on what i've seen in this series we're talking about kills by the way kills yeah yeah exactly i would have said that body count is higher than her kill count well it's it is tough when i hear that it seems like the droid count should be way higher when i hear that by the way like four droids just

being in the star wars universe i feel like you drop me on patooie and i'll fucking rack up four droid kills every no offense to i'm not droid not droidist. Yeah, I'm not like the most Isley guy and no droids in here. But droids can be fucking assholes as we saw in this episode. And I think I could kill a couple of them like George Lucas said about the ones in Phantom Menace. He sliced through them like butter. Some of them pathetic.

So it opens with Sabine, Hu Yang, and Ahsoka trying to fix their ship. They discuss potentially destroying the map kind of infinity war vibes when it came to this i thought with gamora being like kill me because i'm the only one that knows the location it's better to kill me than let him get to it i enjoyed the dialogue about that i do agree with a lot of the i guess criticism online and it doesn't bother me too much but ahsoka is too stoic she's speaking in too many lines that feel like they're straight out of the Jedi Order when she's the Jedi that left and seems to see through what everyone else couldn't with them.

I think Episode 5 with Anakin should bring more personality out of her, but I don't think it's Rosario Dawson's fault either. I don't think it's a bad performance. I think it's just like her lines are all kind of one-liners yeah so that's what i was gonna say in rebels i i've always heard she was like the cool character a little bit like the the badass you know a little bar stoolie to her right pirate ship kind of vibes is she like this on the show or is she different she's she's different i mean like by the time you get to rebels it time has passed since clone wars and shit so she is a little more older and a little more mature but she's still like a little more vibrant than this and just a little more conversational than this i would say so it's it i don't know if it's the let's start our hero at the low point and bring her out of

that which we have mentioned a bunch lucasfilm loves to do that but for now the first four episodes her dialogue it got better at the end of the episode actually when she's talking to balon or balin however you say his name and they're talking about you know anakin and he knows who anakin is oh well anakin never mentioned you. It was better. It felt like a flowed more, but at least the conversations with Sabine, and it could be part of the reason why Sabine's not working. You know,

you need a character like a soca that we like to kind of like give you a good sign off on Sabine and give you good vibes about her. But yeah, Sabine strikes me as she's kind of what a soca was at one point, right? Kind of like the odd piece that doesn't want to like live by these jedi rules and as we are very much a part of on this podcast the jedi do kind of suck when it all comes down to it so i kind of like sabine's probably dude you're me basically why are you giving me shit so i kind of understand that yeah we cut to our villains

balan sends shin and maric after the ship the droids attack the ship who yang fends him off for a while which i was pretty impressed with who yang i posted a very funny reddit post i don't know if you saw my tweet about it let me actually read it for you this just goes to show how great star wars fans are how much i genuinely love star wars fans how seriously they talk about this galaxy far far away this post on reddit from uh Shipwrecked on the Star Wars Reddit. Hu Yang was a badass in this episode. My man is literally 25,000 years old, but he manages to get some solid hits on the HK-87 droid,

a top-of-the-line killer that would absolutely destroy the likes of you or me. I know he gets held down and needed saving, but still. It's like watching your 80 year old college history professor smash the face of a pro mma fighter for a few seconds and then hold him so he can get some relief absolutely fantastic need more who yang action i love the line a top of the line killer that would absolutely destroy the likes of you or me that is so funny i loved that so much but i actually did agree with this general point seeing who yang kind of fucked them up for a bit i was like oh hell yeah i didn't know he could fight like that

i knew he could train i don't know he could fight i loved it too uh the joy joy fight in general and maybe in cartoons they fought but seeing two actual droids just like brawl it out throw fucking throwing knucks and stuff it was it was awesome and then our boy hu yang not only is he holding his own and taking the hk 78 or whatever he is taking his best hits he also has the old sage world wisdom of a 25,000 year old and cuts the fucking power to get the people outside just a fucking this that made me like hu yang more than every other part of the series so far combined was that like took it on the chin and even was smart enough to be like hey i gotta let them know that there's trouble out here let me just snip the power a fucking plus scene by who yang and ahsoka the the little line but showing how much trust she

has in who yang where sabine's like oh i fucking droid cut the power she's like no he did not like she knew if he did that it was on purpose it was not a mistake he doesn't make that kind of mistake he's 25 000 years old yeah so they go out i love my boy r2 r2 would have some fuck-ups and they'd be like ah shit r2 r2 screwed up we fucking love you r2 you hunk of metal and c-3po is just like chewing his his ass out who yang he doesn't have he has fucking that's the thing if mere you fuck up on bar school dave's like he they did it on purpose those are all veterans there this isn't you know someone that's trying to fuck up the company here

by the way about 10 minutes passed since dave left i feel like we did that pretty well i think that went well you know we have to say we were pretty fucking nervous for a guy that we've worked with forever and he dave likes us both i think it's pretty clear yeah and uh it was nerve-wracking and i don't really know how he's how he would even feel about star wars or talking about star wars we could have done it for like another hour and really got into some nitty-gritty star wars conversation but dave's kind of reached another level of another level that i don't think we can really take much more of his time we told him like i specifically said 20 to 30 minutes and no more because much like conor mcgregor or dana white or the likes of these big celebrities that are like you know massive they have a bunch of shit on their schedule i find you get in you have

some laughs you get out real quick you never want to be a bother on someone that obviously has fucking, he'll go to a meeting, you know, in 20 minutes where he decides on like millions of dollars of revenue of this, that, and that, the next thing. Meanwhile, here is like a Shoki and Sabine. Is that real? I love how you called them out on that. Is that real? And like the first one, I didn't know if it was. The first one is so far off, it was crazy.

Carabas, Carabas, you're doing all the names. But I've seen how he texts you with these whacked out names as well. And that's a Dave thing. The names do not compute. The names and dates do not compute. Which you can't ask him to get Star Wars names right. He can't get Earth names right. You're going to ask him to get all these galaxy far, far away aliens right?

I mean, we can't get them right half the time. So you can't fault Earth names right. We're going to ask him to get all these galaxy far, far away aliens right? I mean, we can't get them right half the time. So you can't fault him on that. But they have a cool tag team match. This is kind of the theme of the episode is we get some tag team matches, the first of which Ahsoka and Sabine versus a Jobber tag team from out of town. You didn't even get to see their entrance. They were already in the ring when they cut to them. And they have some cool scenes.

I loved seeing Ahsoka pick someone up and use them as a human shield. That was like something out again, out of a video game, kind of out of a fallen order or a force unleashed. So I thought this was really cool. And who Yang told them as they go off into the forest, stay together. You guys are way better together. You separate. Things are going to go wrong. And what do you know?

The professor was right 25 000 years of wisdom like that's the grand like grandpa grandma or without you know spoiling too much my boy master splinter he's telling the boys hey stay at home or else something bad's gonna happen to you and the exact thing that was gonna i want to just tweet that out so badly but for the people that haven't seen it it is such a good payoff that entire thing throughout that movie that i was like man and by the way we deserve like portions of the movie because i've had many people being like yo i'm gonna go see this movie now just because of the clip you guys are talking about in the clip yeah bro is it just me or have you watched that like five times a day since i tweeted it oh it's not yep if you don't know what we're talking

about is the scene from teenage mutant ninja turtles mutant mayhem the new one which i think was out on paramount plus for a hot second and then maybe they pulled it but now you can get it rent for 20 bucks however you can watch this movie watch it it's worth the 20 rental i truly think that it is so funny there's a scene where they're just trying to be New Yorkers and apparently it was an improv scene by the kids that were playing the turtles and they're talking about bacon, egg and cheese with the Bev. Yard, Yard

we outside. It cracks me up and I've been watching like the Sopranos so I just sent it to my girlfriend. I was like me after an episode of the Sopranos. Hey, I'm a gangster. It's just the best. Mutant Mayhem, if you haven't seen it, is so worth seeing.

One of the best movies of the year. My kids are saying those lines nonstop. They don't even know that they're mocking New York City people or anything like that. And they even sneak in and they say, Arizona iced tea. I didn't notice that until you tweeted me. And I was like, oh my God. It's me.

I relate so much. Back to Ahsoka. I didn't notice that until you tweeted me. I was like, oh my god. It's me. I relate so much. Back to Ahsoka. Hera and fucking weirdly, her son Jason go and take a journey in the ghost to find Ahsoka in this forest and meet Sabine and all that. Carson Teva, our favorite X-Wing pilot, makes an appearance. I do like that this guy's kind of becoming like the Wong of this universe. I'm not saying that because they're both Asian. It's because they're the cameos in both of these shows, obviously.

But he's kind of like the linchpin of all of the random shows as an X-Wing pilot that I guess we've learned to trust. He sniffed out Cara Dune before Disney did even um why is and ken jack at the same point why is harrah bringing her son jason on a mission like this someone called child protective services or dyphus or something that's that's a great call maybe she's like you know and i didn't know this i had to look it up her dad was his dad's a jedi who died yes and maybe kind of the person who trained ezra he was awesome he freddie prince jr did his voice amazing amazing character cain and how did he die he like sacrificed himself for her basically to make sure that like the team could survive okay maybe maybe he like told her hey listen for him to unlock his jedi powers you have to take him on the most dangerous missions

and they're just going to come out on their own. Like that, honestly, that seems like something you should probably do. And like when the grimmest possible moments, you know, force clicks and he goes 10 out of 10 pulls out a lightsaber or something and saves the day. I feel like she knows she has to level this kid up. And the only way to get those experience points is by taking them into danger. That is like, this kid should be on the fucking,

what is it? The, um, like the, the green on the fucking what is it the um like the the green circle hills in terms of like the skiing and she's throwing up double black diamonds like what are we doing right now lady this is an active war zone with witches and fake jedi things and like you're a general you're not someone who like oh this might be what i like you know what war is like you've been there done that you went through the whole galactic civil war why is your kid along for the crazy her husband are

not husband but her baby daddy canaan there's a picture of him on her dashboard people have zoomed in at least they think it's him i don't know if it's the animated version of him i don't know if they cast a live action guy to play him i think a flashback would be awesome if they did cast freddie prince jr he doesn't look too much like him but i think you could make him look like him um kanan one of the coolest things about him he gets blinded at one point but because jedis fucking don't need their eyes they got the visor he just continues on being a jedi he wears like a cool like little visor type mask and he's a blonde Jedi. He's awesome. He goes with the visor mask instead of the old sunglasses.

Yeah. Okay. I think that the only, so Sienna was watching this with me and she goes, that's her son. Why is he not the same species as her? And I was like, well,

Sienna, that's a good question right there. And apparently in the cartoon, they just gave him a little bit of green hair. I was like, Oh yeah. Mom's green. And he's got green hair in this it's very subtle it's very like subtle it's not as like the cartoon's vibrant green it's like joker green that might look a little weird in live action but yeah he does have just a little green hair yeah he's got a little pigment from his mom and then the hair follicles it's like oh your mom must be this crazy alien

that looks nothing like us because you have a little bit of green hair i just thought that was funny and i don't i don't know how often that's happened in star wars i don't think i know like a lot of mixed species uh characters at least hey it's 2023 i know it's a galaxy you know a long time ago but right now it's progressive this video right here i mean this is you know dave porno's fans are watching it but also dave Pornhub's haters. I'm not looking to get canceled. And I know they're just looking for one of us to slip up. Dave didn't slip up.

They're just looking for our blood. They're already upset about what I said about Carson Teva and Wong. I know that. Yeah, exactly. You're on the cancel. You're number one on the cancel list right now. Dave, luckily, third. That's our job is to make sure we take this before Dave.

Like the most wholesome Dave podcast appearance of all time, by the way. I think so. I think so. One thing I want to note about this shot. I don't know if you noticed it. The rebels fans that love the ghost and love this ship had to be coming themselves because they gave it like three slow-mo shots of like panning around the ghost, showing it from above, showing it from below.

It reminded me of, and I'm going to cross a line here, Star Trek, the motion picture. The first Star Trek movie, which I didn't watch, obviously, when it came out, but they had so much of a budget inflation from the TV show that they were like, holy shit, we can make the Enterprise look fucking awesome. So the whole movie is just slow motion shots of the Enterprise. And it sucks because they're just trying to show off how cool it is it reminded me of one of those slow motion enterprise shots where they were like the ghost is here everyone remember the ghost and i was on my couch being like that's the fucking ghost that's the one from rebels and there's a ship in the back and it comes off that's when they were on the whole

time i was losing my mind i guarantee guarantee Filoni had them do that shot. So then he could be in his house and go, do like the fan noise, you know, cheering as, as he saw it come on the screen. There it is. And there's just something about that gray and those color schemes with the

yellows and the oranges. It's a lot of, let's be honest. It's kind of like dipping in a little bit of the falcons lore there right a lot of falcon there which is probably comes from like ralph mccoy and i could be totally off base i would not be surprised if it came from like ralph mccoy unused millennium falcon art yeah exactly so uh that was cool because i know i've been promised you know there's a few things i was told the ghost awesome chopper is awesome chopper has lived up to it um and jason has green hair because he's bomb is an alien yeah so we get another tag team match on the planet i love this planet and the way that they

shot the lightsaber fights on it too very samurai style we get a lot of the mortal combat style side scrolling shot which I love. I loved it in The Last Jedi. I know that's a touchy subject, especially after that Dave appearance. But the final shot of Luke and Kylo Ren on that planet I think is so cool. So we get Marik versus Sokka 2 and Sabine versus Shin 2. I put 2 because I like anime. And then we find out in the ahsoka maric fight very

quickly as we mentioned before america is a cloud of smoke that's it he we had a lot of theories he's a smoke monster from lost he's a poof i wrote a fart he's a gas cloud in a mosque as snoke said but yeah basically none of our theories were right. And we need to start learning. Not every masked character is someone we know. Sometimes they're just a guy in a mask. Did you see the way he looked out the window? Did you see the way he turned on his lightsaber? It's just like, I know we were dissecting the way he looked at the pergola.

Now, in our defense here, when we get it right and we're very loud and obnoxious about it's because we're wrong so many times and like comically wrong i was dancing on the grave or i was calling out a dog that was killed by fucking a witch so it's like spark bad things happened to rp and p sparky uh that was tough though that was tough i kind of wanted him to survive getting cut in half just to see how how little lightsabers actually kill people these days and be like robbie now defend this but the fucker turned into smoke and it's green green smoke which i guess means he was which is which yes going back to it i don't hate that i think that's kind of cool no no i'm cool

with that if that was her creation that's fine i actually meant to bring this up to dave and i forgot to um the inquisitors actually no he didn't see obi-wan i would have done a no good like this kind of like the grand inquisitors just they stink they absolutely stink they get washed every single time that drove me nuts i'm going to find out who this actress is because i have been in the same boat as dave and it's been driving me nuts and if i go back to that episode of uh boba fett or mandalorian whatever it is when she was uh fighting ahsoka i said too i go this woman reminds me of somebody and i it's going to drive me nuts and i looked it up online as i was talking to you dave and i'm like oh someone says her mind the person's like you might remember her from her stunt work and yeah yeah, buddy, I don't remember stuff.

Exactly. I just, that's, that's not me. That's why when he said she's in a comedy, I was like, I don't think you recognize her from the one skit she was in of mad TV in 99, but she was in a skit and mad TV. Not so. I don't know. I don't know what she's leaving. Again, leave it in the comments.

That could be this week's little prompt. And I'm not saying I'm not trying to to say anything problematic here saying people look alike. So I'm just, just put it out of your minds now. I'm not doing that at all. Balin is monitoring the shrine as the thing loads. Basically that we had a little loading screen the whole episode, which I appreciate when you simplify it to a little wheel that fills up.

I'm like, all right, I get it. The countdown is on. We got to exactly. I'm like, all right, I get it. The countdown is on. We got to speed this shit up. Exactly. I appreciate something simple like that. Seems like simple Star Wars technology.

And Ahsoka approaches him. And as soon as she approaches him, I kind of know shit's about to go down. Like you get that vibe. You get that this is the third act lightsaber fight in a movie or something. Again, a cool environment with the globe still lit up around them and stuff and balin mentions anakin and he's like you're you're a master it's a shame what he became which immediately like me and ken jack talked in the office we were like how many people know what he became i don't think the galaxy knows it certainly doesn't seem like the galaxy knows

so is he like way more on the inside than we thought probably not too close with anakin though because ahsoka hits him with the well he never mentioned you motherfucker and then they like drop the robes they're like all right fucking square up then square up let's go and he has an awesome him and shin actually when they drop the robes they have awesome character designs it's almost like star wars mixed with medieval they have like cool shoulder pads she has a lighter outfit while he has a plain old black one again he's one of my favorite parts of the entire show and i thought this lightsaber battle was great it was very tense the way they kept readjusting like the way they were stood very samurai like um everything about it the way they

were talking through it awesome there was really no wasted movements. There was a couple interesting things, like when Ahsoka kind of like put her, used her foot as like leverage or whatever, and it didn't feel sloppy or some of the lightsaber fights, maybe in like the prequels or so it seemed like it was more dancing than it was like actually trying to kill each other over choreographed. Yeah, exactly. So I hope that's not like a hot take that people are going to get mad. That's just how I feel. I'm not trying to upset the star with people any more than i already have here today uh i also wrote this down and god damn it it hurts man i wrote it and i was like i'm

putting the flag in balan is my guy i'm rocking with him and i forgot the actor died and we talked about an episode one and now i'm just really just sad and i'm kind of bummed for the show as well. Cause I mean, he's, he's gone after this season, even if the character stays around, it has to be someone else. Yeah. If that actor had survived and if I don't know what his fate holds on the show, he could have been a Moff Gideon to Ahsoka. Like I think he's that good where he could be your consistent villain

throughout the entire show. You could watch him rise beyond the witch. I still think he's that good where he could be your consistent villain throughout the entire show. You could watch him rise beyond the witch. I still think he might turn. I don't think he wanted to fight Ahsoka in the first place. He didn't draw his saber first. She drew hers. He said it'd be a shame to kill a Jedi. There's not many more of them.

Still, his motivation seems kind of unclear about why he wants to go there. He's like he wants to bring something back. I think some people are speculating he wants to bring back he's like he wants to bring something back i think some people are speculating he wants to bring back his form of the jedi order somehow or maybe he just wants to get all the empire people in the same place i don't know if he's that much of a good guy but i do see him having a change of heart by the end of series that kind of character was what i was is i guess we kind of got it by the end of uh the rise of skywalker but that's the kind of like he knows the jedi's bullshit but he's not full sith and he's kind

of just in the middle and i do think the more gray force sensitive people we have the better and that might be also symbolized in that orange lightsaber dave filoni said it was this very specific choice to show he's not a sith he's not a jedi maybe he's that gray in between meanwhile in the forest sabine fails to use the force i thought she used it but only had like a little bit at first i thought maybe it was like she like just smacked her with a thing of air but i think it was just a flinch on shin's part and then uses her mandalorian wrist rockets and the smoke and they separate ahsoka grabs the star map burns her hand raiders of the lost ark style i don't think they've understood the reference i

was talking about shin arrives before sabine so ahsoka thinks sabine's dead and that throws her off her game which then leads her to get thrown off a cliff and i thought initially maybe you were on the same page i thought the whole time she was going to be like just on the side of the cliff like listening ready to pop up at some point she was actually thrown off the cliff sabine finally arrives she wants to destroy the star map but can't in her heart she's like can't do it can't do it so balon's like hey i won't hurt you if you want to come up with us see your friend friend, we'll go see throne. Well, we're all taking the same bus up. Come on with us. She takes him up on that offer.

The eye of Scion enters hyperspace, which was a cool scene. Um, again, though, I was like, Jason just watched a fucking bunch of deaths. And when he looked up at his mom and was like,

I, he hit the, I have a bad feeling. He didn't go all the way, but I thought he was just gonna be like mommy like i want to go home are they dead like he watched terrible deaths explosions in space where people that seemed like harry cared about were screaming as they went down but the idea of that weird ring going into hyperspace while they were caught in the middle

and them all kind of getting thrown off whack. I thought that was super unique. It's super cool. Yeah. The like realism of Star Wars is kind of like an oxymoron, but it's like, you don't think like this thing is so powerful. It would just kind of just fry the shit out of just people who left it in its wake. That was one thing. I think when the, they like weaponized hyperspace, right. In the sequel trilogy, it was like one of those things. It's like the idea of it. I think when they like weaponized hyperspace, right? In the sequel trilogy, it was one of those things.

It's like the idea of it I liked. It's just that that was never an option until that moment. It's like, oh yeah, we could just fucking hyperspace through someone. So seeing kind of the other side of that where they go and kind of you're just left in their wake. It's like, yeah, it seems like a good plan until you're fucking electrocuted or whatever. Ships exploding, people dying, screaming their last words, and just a little kid witnessing it all.

Just fucking tough scenes. Also, I have to say too, Sabine holding the map hostage, she had the gun next to the little orbs. I'll fucking do it, man. I'll fucking do it. It just had me cracking up. And I know she's basically holding thrawn hostage in that scenario because you know i'd never get him

without the map but i just thought it was funny and she also knew she'd never see her friend again obviously if she blew it away and they wind up destroying it too forgot to mention that but they fucking destroy that map now before we get to the actual finale finale of the episode quick shout out to factor another longtime sponsor with the busy fall season already in swing, you might be looking for wholesome, convenient meals for your jam-packed days.

So the finale of the episode sees, as we very much touched on with Dave, Ahsoka waking up in the world between worlds. She hears the voice of Anakin Skywalker, Hayden Christensen, calling her Snips, which was his nickname for her in the Clone Wars. That was something Clone Wars fans were geeked out about. And then it cuts to him.

We actually see Hayden Christensen, a bit of a CGIgi hated christiansen some people were upset about that i thought it was okay but i definitely think you could just do makeup and but it's a damned if you do a damned if you don't they did seemingly just makeup and obi-wan people said he looked too old they did a little cgi work and this people said he looked too smooth personally i lean on the i'm fine with makeup i think that's less distracting but i was very excited to see him i was shocked to see him i'll ask you the same question i asked dave i know you're not a prequel guy

but does this move the needle for you at all it does because i know vader's now, or at least for a little bit. I know we're getting potentially, I, I, I've always said, I'd love to see Vader before he got fucking charred to bits and turned into a machine. But after he went to the dark side and there's a very little frame of time where that happened. And unfortunately he was like killing a lot of kids during that time.

So I don't want to see that, but I want to see other times when he's just, you know, murking motherfuckers and using the dark side of the force. So I'd like to see that side of him. But I do. I agree. I saw it. And I'm like, this just looks, you know what it looked like?

It kind of looked like our dozen pictures. I feel weird sharing those on my story, dude, because I'm like, I hope my followers don't think that don't watch the dozen. Don't that i'm like i look good in this no offense to the the graphics team at the dozens amazing no offense and also it gets a lot of engagement when they do do our faces like that so maybe it's a brilliant choice but we are buttery we look like handsome squidward or like smooth yoda have you seen smooth yoda no google smooth yoda live on a podcast it is one of the all-time visuals someone just did facetune and like covered up yoda oh gosh it looks it looks like yoda like got burned a lot like in like a like burning building and they just

or like he got attacked by his pet monkey and they had to put like skin over his face yeah yeah oh my gosh it's weird but that's kind of what we look like in our dozen pictures it's strange or like he got attacked by his pet monkey and they had to put like skin over his face. Yeah. Yeah. Oh my gosh. It's weird. But that's kind of what we look like in our dozen pictures. It's strange. Certain people, it seems like they tried to make them look hot. Like certain people,

it looks like they tried to make them look big. Me. I feel like I look like a little bigger. My cheeks look a little bigger. I don't know if they want to make me look jacked. I don't know what they were thinking, but they put in like ufc reporter like so they're trying to make you look like the ufc guys you have a little anger to you and like mystery

me it's like big o fish cartoon dad homer simpson basically i was gonna say you look like homer look look over which again i don't hate yeah you definitely look like homer in that check out the basement bowl by the time this is out you'll probably be able to watch it we played each other in the dozen one-on-one tournament i'm calling it the basement bowl because it was a hell of a game jeff slapped a must watch on it he said it was the best match of the first round uh you said we were the main eventers because we wrap up the week and he says we lived up to every single moment of that main event. So the Rockers breaking up, the Megapowers exploding, and the Basement Bowl.

Three absolute moments. And also, I feel like if you're a basement boy or girl, the niches will hit for most of you. Like a lot of them will at least. Whereas a lot of the other matches I know, what was it? Large versus Clemmer. They were doing Batman 66 niches and sandwich it was like the oldest uh you know doesn't match up ever i love those guys respect to those guys but ours might be a little more accessible to my mom's basement fans we need to

do a super niche clemmer show where you and him just talk about some old school batman and shit like that i think that would be a lot of great. I would love that. I got look. Old school. Batman is that purple one right there. That's the complete series, right? Oh, wow.

That's the complete series of animated. That's the dark night trilogy. This stuff is all Batman. How, how many seasons did the, did the old, old one go? The animated series?

No, no, no. The, the 60s or whatever. It's only like two or three seasons, but a lot of episodes per season. They formatted them way differently back then. I think it's two seasons technically or three maybe.

But there's a billion of them. Like over 20 episodes a season. There's a bunch. And obviously the movie. Okay. The movie's great too because they take all the villains and team them up. It's like a Sinister Six type deal against Bat. It's so good.

Have you done any content with Clumber? Like a podcast or anything like that no never had and i love clemmer we sit across from each other he um he comes on we got to leave some time to talk mats and it's one of the most easy conversations i have and everyone else is the same way obviously that i'm on the show with but it's just like plug him in and he just is ready just to do whatever you need to do it's fun so i think he'd be good down here in the basement after ahsoka let's try to put together not you and me necessarily but me and clemmer maybe we'll put together some of the more absurd stuff from the 66 batman show and we could like introduce it to you maybe on the show as a podcast and the listeners obviously you have like a 1966 batman spectacular i think that would be only if we get to use our ai uh dozen faces in the thumbnail

along with some ai batman villains because that could look wacky we all look like batman villains in our own right me you went pretty much some wacky fucking features pretty much um predictions for next week i kind of said a couple of mine i think that anakin might turn bad at some point we've been hearing mustafar rumors if there are mustafar rumors i would love to see obi-wan i would love to see you and mcgregor reprise that role real quick um otherwise i think we're gonna get an entire episode of world between worlds and flashbacks and maybe some cuts to uh what's going on with them getting thrown back i could see thron showing up at the end of episode five

especially them putting in theaters and shit and feloni being the writer director of this one for the first time all series i think we'll probably get him i'm gonna say this about thron and i actually made a note of it this is one of those things where if thrawn had come in by episode two i know people would have been upset that it didn't take more to get him there because especially people that watch rebels and it was probably such a oh fuck we got rid of this guy moment i personally would have been one of those people like i'm very happy i know people are mad baby yoda was just back with the mandalorian by the beginning of mandalorian season three would have really been a problem if we had to go get them back together

And then the people were upset by the pacing With them together So I would have loved to have seen it So I want to get Thrawn sooner rather than later I also really want to like Thrawn And make him my guy especially now that Balin's Obviously on his way out You kept throwing the H word around though

And it's going to be hard for me I know Bob but come on Can't you say anyone else You can even sayalin who is an awful person in his own right fucking i don't know which one of them was better military strategy but that's the wrong thing he's a military strategy guy just wins hitler was not a good military strategist it just wasn't they were they were good i mean he had maybe he's not the H-man. I mean, fuck him. We beat him in World War II. I'm not riding for him.

Fuck him. I'm a World War II expert. I watched like five World War II movies and docs in like a week for some reason around the Oppenheimer time. I do have a prediction, and this one's going to blow your mind. But the reason why is because it comes from someone, Marolf232. And this person said, you know what? I watch Rebels. On Rebels, the plan is always get captured, climb into air ducts, mess with the bad guys from the inside, get out.

Sabine is 100% going to do that. And she knows it. She is like, you just wait until I get into those air ducts. Your robots and lightsabers and whatever will make no difference. That's what's up here. So that's my prediction is we got air ducts your robots and lightsabers and whatever will make no difference that's what's up here so that's my prediction is we got air ducts coming is that like so i i we have the space whales hyperspace whales we have uh the world between worlds and then we have the air ducts so i'm about to get my whole rebels experience here huh it's ezra more than sabine in the air ducts but there's a lot of air duct crawling yeah there's lot of, which might make you like it even more. A little John McClane diehard pods.

Exactly. If you watch on YouTube, there you go. Also, just a quick shout out. Everyone that's been with us throughout the podcast. This is the 300th episode spectacular. We did grow some balls and ask Dave to be on it. Hopefully to give the listeners something back. Being a podcast for over 300 episodes. We have 350 on the feed is a miracle.

I think in the niche world of nerdy shit at Barstool as well. The fact that Dave came on, the fact that Dave now owns Barstool again, and it's not, we're not just a gambling company anymore, I think maybe helps us. So I'm going to say cheers to 300 more episodes as well goddamn right robert goddamn right boom there you go it's been an absolute pleasure um i remember us doing the end game

preview right that was a big one second episode of my mom's basement ever i think that's crazy and that was episode one was dana white and episode two was end game preview then the next one was end game recap the that's a good way to start and i like hey dana white followed by two end game things the only thing is dana white to me the viewership was i was thrown off the cliff like a sofa basically is when they went from dana white to me but remember we were getting tricky we had the custom trig drawings for us back then. We had you as Cap, me as Thanos. We've had so much crazy shit. We've gone through some bad content, some good content in terms of stuff we've been recapping.

But it's been a blast. And honestly, the basement boys and girls have been amongst the most fun people to interact with because we're all just kind of like – I always say when you get into the barstool world, everyone has like a very similar, just like view of the world where it's like, have some fun. Like no one has to be so serious. I think a lot of the other shows out there that do this nerdy stuff, they're a little more typical nerd and they can't really,

they're a little more robotic and shit. And I kind of like that. We have some fun. It's not as many references to the New York giants roster. Oh, Mike used to have my weekly sports take of the week. So thanks to everyone. You had one this week with Dave.

It was a good one with the college football stickers. That was your weekly sports take. I knew I had to rope him back in in case we were getting too nerdy for him, so I made sure to throw a football reference in there. So that was it. Now, that being said now, I have to ask you to do this, and I have to see how it's going to work. I need you to explain to me the world between worlds.

Like, you explained it a little bit to Dave here, but is this, like, is her body there? Is her mind there? Do we know what's there, or are we kind of just, don't even ask, just watch and enjoy? A little bit of that. Now, I think her body may be there. I think, I don't know how this could have happened, but maybe Anakin pulled her there.

Because we see, it seems like, so Ahsoka and Vader have this huge fight, Twilight of the Apprentice, huge Rebels fight. Seems like Ahsoka dies and this fight goes down or whatever when we find out later ezra actually pulled her out of that fight into the world between worlds so her body is physically there in that i'll lean on dave filoni's description of the world between worlds here i wrote it down and i thought about reading it to dave but this would have gotten a little too complicated i think He said it's not about time travel. He wants everyone to be very clear that this isn't just like, oh, we're doing time travel in Star Wars now. Let's go back to Episode 1.

Let's go back to Episode 3. That's possible in the world between worlds because it exists beyond time and space. But it's not like you go there to travel through time or anything. He said it's not really a thing where you go through one door and out another in a different time. The world between worlds is really about knowledge and gaining knowledge. As the doom wolf says, what's in there is knowledge and destruction. You can gain knowledge of the future or futures that appear, and you can see things that happen

in the past. You can at times choose to alter them, but it's perilous to do so. And when you alter something that you don't know that but it's perilous to do so and when you alter something that you don't know that if it's not the same way that it always happened so destruction is always on the other half of what's in there he is very of the i don't want to define this too much for people i don't want to say it it's just this spiritual realm where things happen and everything comes together that's the big thing everything in the star wars galaxy comes together in this world between worlds interesting so he's kind of doing like the more pronounced visual version of uh doc

brown's time travel it's like you could go back in time but if biff gets the sports almanac he's going to become a millionaire he's going to marry your mom and your entire family could disappear. Yeah. So very interesting. I mean, it's like, dude, this just gives me a way to get Vader in there and we could just get weird and go back to the past. And without having to go through just like straight up prequel flashbacks and shit like that. Sold, Filoni. You weirdo.

I also wish you had told dave he always wears a cowboy's hat a cowboy hat i think i think i slipped it in there real quick but i didn't make a big point of it but that is one of the best like sneaky things about feloni if you don't know him it's just like yeah he's 24 7 cowboy hat wear like does he live on a ranch it's like skywalker ranch yeah i could dave look at this fucking guy. This fucking guy is the guy in charge of Star Wars. What if I just became a cowboy hat wearer in the office? What if I just started? I said, Clemmer should be dressed like a sheriff.

What if I was just like, I love Filoni. I'm wearing a cowboy hat now. Man, I really need Clemmer to dress up like a sheriff. If he dressed up as Woody and just owned this, which I wouldn't put it past Clemmer, it would be one of the more incredible. at this point just do the character you think pirate simon wishes he dressed with that peg leg for six months or whatever and could have had i bet he probably does i guarantee he does i guarantee he does so like now the thing is if you dress up as

the sheriff you're then staying on dave's radar for the foreseeable future as clummer that's the only problem that's so funny i think that's such a funny in-office gimmick to have like i want everything to just be wwf in the 90s occupational gimmicks where you know frank could come in as the court clerk like irs with a briefcase and like clemmer comes in as the sheriff like everyone just has their old jobs i'll come in as the chipper in my old on the border uniform hit someone over the head with like a salsa chip bowl or something like all of this sounds funny. Frank actually said a great idea. He was like, we should do all Halloween costumes in the office this year,

like New York office. We should have a mandate. You have to dress up for Halloween. That's a great idea, especially cause I'll be on vacation. I love that idea. First of all, I could be the pool man like that's what i was you know i worked at my dad's pool store that's kind of a porn thing though the pool guy that's kind of cool though you have the net boom that's someone like with the net drag him in like bo peep when uh toy story four when she's kind of badass yep exactly i i like that and i like the idea of like we're

basically turning everything kfc hated about the office like i know we have like a lottery pool now we're gonna have some halloween costumes it was fun the first year in new york though you remember that that was fun yp dressing as fat dave for the infamous picture one of the best costumes i've ever seen in my life i actually that showed up on some feed relatively recently i just started cracking up so the next year he was dave from ko barstool and i dressed as the lady screaming at him yeah i had the hat i had the purple scar like it could be fun you know we could make it not lame we have we already have our costume and boom we have our costume at the cost of the club it sounds like sienna was gonna do uh winnie the pooh stuff so she's gonna be piglet with a friend but then we're like well we can't do like a family costume, huh? Because AJ wanted to be Donkey Kong and those are two separate universes. But then AJ goes, oh, no, I could be Tigger.

I act like Tigger. I'm like, yeah, you do, dude. So he's going to be Tigger. I'm going to be Winnie because obviously I am the human Winnie the Pooh. And my wife's going to be Kanga. I think that's the mom. Whichever one's the mom, Kanga or Rue. So we're going to do that.

I'm going to wear it to the Giants-Jets game on the 29th. We're going to have a costume party there. And then if I come in the office the 31st. But Robbie won't be there. So all this is for now. I don't think I'll be there, which does suck because I actually do love dressing up for Halloween. I still got my Loki costume and everything, my variant jacket. I can bust that out or something.

But, yeah, I think I'm going to be on vacation during that time. So we'll see. I got a good hashtag for the episode, if you want, for people that made portnoy oh perfect that's perfect and that was kind of a thing that was a long-running narrative on this podcast like do we compare dave to the empire i think he would like that but we don't know if he would not like that confirmation oh yeah full full you know permission to compare dave to darth vader at any time i like power i'm like oh dave you're your haters all right he's like i like immense power he said something like that i was like all right that sounds like dark side dave coming out what's going on here i've seen

the i've seen the federal offense dave we knew that already don't worry on that note all right on that note we're gonna call an end to the 300th episode. Spectacular. If you've been with us since episode one, thank you. If you've been with us since episode 299, thank you. If this is your first episode of My Mom's Basement, which it may be for many of you, thank you for you guys as well. We'll see you next week for another Ahsoka recap.

And if episode five is anything like what they're saying, it's going to be like, I'm going to want to see this one.
