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 3C and Barstool Sports. I am your host, Robbie Fox, along with my co-host Clem, to discuss a very special episode of Ahsoka today. After, God, however many years Star Wars has been around, since 1977, we've been visiting a galaxy far, far away a long time ago. And this week, we visited another galaxy. Now it's galaxies far, far away, Clem. We're in this new world.

How are you feeling as the non-Rebels fan? Because this episode is another one of those where there was a lot, if you didn't know the prior context. I'm very proud. I am a Rebels virgin for moments like this, was another one of those where there was a lot if you didn't know the prior context. I'm very proud. I am a Rebels virgin for moments like this because I was swimming in it. And I'm sure there's a whole lot of other people listening and watching that are swimming in it as well. So don't worry, people. You guys are just as clueless as I am.

I'm even more clueless than you because my brain is crap. So don't worry. There is two levels of podcasting going on here we have the expert side of rob robbie we have the uh rookie side with me and we're going to get through it together some stuff was a little like whoa but again i've dabbled in the sci-fi genre enough i can understand a good witch when i see a witch. My question is this. Is this galaxy we're in now far, far, far away? Or is it just far away? Did we lose

a far or did we gain a far? Because I feel like there was a farness either added or subtracted based on the amount of hyperspace we were doing there. Definitely. I feel like you want to add a far and not picture this being closer to Earth.

Earth is weird to even imagine in the Star Wars universe and the Star Wars galaxy. I'm going to add a far with this one. I'm going to say we're far, far, far away. Yeah, I think space whales. I want to think space whales being real is a little further from our reality than closer because then it's just like, what the fuck? And then my brain starts to hurt. All this kind of stuff. Earth really is like all things considered the missionary position of planets when you're comparing it to some of the shit we just saw in the last episode so yeah i i'm i just want everyone to know that's you know

not a rebel's watcher you're not alone it's not your fault we're in this together it's not your fault you hit the goodwill hunting on him yeah i did i hit that's exactly what i was referencing bob good work of all the things in life one of the best has to be getting high wherever you It's not your fault.

Now, we'll obviously get into this a lot more in depth when we break down the whole episode, but just general thoughts on Grand Admiral Thrawn. This was his very first episode in live action, and we actually got a lot of him, a lot more than I thought we were going to get of them, which I was very happy about.

How did you feel about his introduction to the live action Star Wars Galaxy? So the good thing about Thrawn is not only have I had, like, just heard stories about him, but I've also had the last, like, month and a half or whatever to kind of pump the brakes, get the background on him, learn what he is. And you guys keep saying he's like a great tactician military mind and stuff like that i kind of was like i ain't getting some cool ass vader shit coming my way and i imagine when this

guy's in action there's gonna be some cool fun stuff i think he kind of got a little hint of it maybe this episode but there's gonna be more of that and that i do get excited about i think in thrones for example you could have like a militaristic mind that could be very fun so i'll tell you if i was going in straight dumb star wars fan just going like let's get some fucking double lightsaber horns coming out of his head basically darth maul was like darth maul yeah dar Darth Maul was the perfect Star Wars wet dream, and they killed the fucking guy before the first movie even ended. So I have to say, he's cool looking,

came out better than I expected in the live action, which again, they did that with Cad Bane, so they went two for two with that from what I can gather in terms of hyped cartoon characters. But you guys have also helped me pump the brakes here. I think we're going to get better versions of him as the you know veteran of the star wars animated series and stuff how do you

feel like he was portrayed on screen how do you think he looks how do you think like do you think that they did a good translation because they've done a pretty knock-up job it sounds like from everything else we've seen so far yeah i think casting the voice actor as the live action actor uh lars mickelson i think that was brilliant like i think his chilling delivery of all these lines translated perfectly the way he's talking to sabine in this the way he's even talking to elsbeth and the night mothers at the end there were a few lines that just had some weight on them where i was like, oh, damn, this is Thrawn. This is the Thrawn we were promised. Look-wise, it's going to take me an episode or two to get over the fact that he looks like blue Elon Musk, I think. He looks so

much like Elon Musk. It's crazy. And in the cartoon, people are, I feel a little bad. They're pointing out that he was slimmer in the cartoon. They're like Thrawn's rocking a dad bod. Pretty sure our guy Heavy Spoilers dropped that. Is that true? Yeah. Am I going to point it out? No, he's been eating well, you know, on Paridia, on that new planet.

You know, the Nightsister's animating him some good-ass meals. So I think the first Thrawn episode we got is a big thumbs up from me as someone that really enjoyed him from the prior stuff. And I'm overall just happy that they didn't leave this for you know he reveals himself at the end of the episode we got like a full i called this a setup episode on twitter and i got some people saying like it's

not a setup episode how dare you say that it's as good as the last two weeks i didn't necessarily mean it as a knock but this episode to me very much felt like it was setting the stage for the finale and the penultimate episode in that they gave you all the thrown backstory they introduce you to the character they reveal some motivations give us a little bit more on balin and shin but this wasn't necessarily like the big episode five that last week was for me i'm gonna give you a sports reference here but it's not what you think like our girl what was her name the chick from she hope that was uh tammy lynn brandy lynn uh yeah it was something like that and her name was spelled different this the this episode if you're

gonna call a setup episode i can see we're saying it's like volleyball there's bump there's set there's spike last episode we bumped we're like all right we're actually getting the fuck out of here that was the stuff that had to get in motion to make everything happen this was the set it's now up in the air the spike is going to be probably the last few episodes where shit's going down shit's getting crazy and we're on the attack but i do think that like there's a part of that there it's a very important part and i had fun with it but i don't think by any means like you're like man that's a standalone episode you just watch on its own. I think, like, the last episode and this episode came together,

and I think maybe there's going to be a three, four-episode arc that comes out of it. So, I mean, to Star Wars fans who are being unhappy about something a Star Wars fan said, that's fucking more part of this than the goddamn stars in the fucking story. So that's just a part of it. I have a take about his look as well

but do you should i go with it now or should i wait till we start recapping let's hear it now i thought he was the guy who plays the t-1000 in terminator 2 oh i could see that who i believe was in the mandalorian season two right wasn't he in the episode with elspeth was he really fucked now i'm gonna now my brain is gonna be really like dude you were on it you knew he was in star wars robert patrick is his name i looked it up because i think there is like a some die hard fans of his who'd be like how do you not know robert patrick um let's see is he is he a mandalorian i don't see him here definitely one of james cameron used one of his guys in the mandalorian i think it was him you know where we saw him and i i can't believe i i didn't think

of this is he the dad from peacemaker he's the dad from peacemaker who fucking rocks i mean i do not agree with him i do not i do not believe in what peacemaker's dad believes no to be clear however he's a fucking he does a hell of a bang- job being a scumbag. I just have to say that. So who was it in that episode? Because I swear in her first episode, Morgan Elsbeth, when we get Ahsoka, she has a right hand man in that episode who is definitely one of James Cameron's guys. Really? Oh, I don't know.

And we like definitely talked about it on the podcast. I'm sure. Listen, I won't even look it up on the podcast i'll just let the comments flood us with it please flood us with that guy's name and i choose to i'm going to choose to believe that it is the t-1000 because that motherfucker is scary he doesn't do a lot of stuff he actually does some cool shit like he told me thrawn could change his body into any shape or whatever that'd be pretty cool but he also like didn't say a word in the entire movie in terminator 2 and he was fucking haunting so kind of mixed the two together i didn't realize it was the voice actor i know they've been doing that you know with some of

the things here as well as the last of us where those people were getting some shine even if it wasn't their roles and i'm always down for that shout out to the voice actors absolutely so let's break down the episode let's get into the the nitty gritty of all of it. We open the episode with Hu Yang and Ahsoka. And this is really the only Ahsoka we see. They kind of pull a Book of Boba Fett thing where they're like, this is a Sabine episode. Or even last season on The Mandalorian where they gave Dr. Pershing his own episode. And I love this intro, though, with Ahsoka where Hu Yang references stories he used to tell the kids back on the Jedi Temple.

Stories that came in three parts, a trilogy, if you will. And he starts a story with a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Very meta. And the episode's title is Far, Far Away, which fits for, as I mentioned at the beginning, the first time in the Star Wars universe, at at least in canon that we're visiting a different galaxy did you do the uh finger point the the leo dicaprio meme because i that was me all the way and going back to my earth question i choose to believe that his stories were about stories from earth actually no because that would have been a long time in the future far far away true earth hasn't happened yet in the Star Wars. Fuck. Maybe, hey, maybe before. Maybe he's talking dinosaurs.

That's what I'm going to believe. He was teaching. Breaking news. Hu Yang's stories to the Jedi Temple Kids was talking about dinosaurs, T-Rexes, Brontosaurus, Raptors, whatever your favorite dinosaurs are. That's what it was. So we just cracked the case here.

I guarantee no one else broke that much down. Easter eggs? Dinosaurs? your favorite store uh dinosaurs are that's what it was so we just cracked the case here i'm on i guarantee no one else broke broke that much down easter eggs dinosaurs in the star wars universe dinosaur eggs hmm um and then we see in hyperspace with the whales and everything it actually looks a little different it looks a little more colorful very cool. And even when they come out of hyperspace later on, you see more lightning coming around that ring, the eye of Scion, very cool visuals. The entire episode, I would say that might've been the strongest part of the episode was its visuals. Thrawn's army, the Thrawn stuff, even the planet Peridia that they're on, the ring, all of it. Very, very cool visuals cool visuals again i'm watching this on my tv that i got earlier this year and it has looked so awesome on there and i don't know i don't think i really

watched any of the other star wars or even marvel stuff on there and it just caused me to buy the same tv just smaller for my basement now because i'm like i don't know i could probably get a lot of this at least a decent amount it's like a really good l LG OLED TV. I don't know what any of that stuff means, but people always say it's a great TV. And there might be ways to like change the settings of the other TV to make it look good. I don't know how to do that. So I'm just going to spend through the nose

and just get the same TV and put it downstairs. Cause like I have to literally go upstairs and watch this upstairs. Even if I'm like doing stuff down here in the basement and I'm just like, man, this looks so fucking good. And I think it's a product of the show though and this show i'd say more than any of the shows this year probably has like the coolest visuals like you know mando has its had its moments for sure uh obi-wan was okay i guess even if you go and or had some good ones and did they call that the eye

it was it was something like that when all the uh yes all the like crazy stuff was going in the sky that was really cool now yeah that might look a lot better now if i watch it i'm gonna have to go and re-watch all the things now on our tv that's actually like customized right to have like a good viewing experience but uh fucking planets man we're just so fucking cool just so you know I just did with my TV? Me and my girlfriend, we got LED lights, like a strip that goes behind the TV. And I think eventually we're supposed to figure it out where it could change colors with the TV and stuff. We have not figured that out yet. But the mood lighting, changing it up for different shows of Soak, I'll throw on orange or blue.

Sopranos, I'll throw on red. If we're watching something in the snow, I'll throw on white. I actually kind of dig the mood lighting. I know some people want to be like, that's, that's trashy. Robbie putting led lights on your TV, but I did it and I love it. I will. Hey Bob, whatever floats your boat. I, that is kind of a new thing that I've seen done. When I was looking to hang my TVs, paying someone else to do it.

I saw like, they had like the, you know, samples of their work. And I'm like, oh, they got lights behind shit now. And we do not have that. My kids will destroy all that shit before it's all said and done. But hey, man, I think, I think there's probably

some pretty cool shit. And if you ever figure out how to do it, which again, we're barstool employees, no chance our dumb brains figure it out. We'll need someone from the basement have to come over and actually set it up for you

because there's no way we can figure that out. Maybe in the comments, someone will drop a hint for us. I know. I was cursed with bad eyes and also an interest in nerdy things, which makes everyone think I'm good at tech. I ain't. I ain't good at tech. I ain't Donatello.

He's the fakest nerd ever. Fake nerd. Fake nerd doesn't even watch animated specials. That guy hit you. He knew it, man. He called you. Yeah, he saw right through me um so we get sabine in prison she's being guarded and watched by balin and balin

keeps saying like just so you know i'm gonna stay true to my word like he doesn't love that she's imprisoned even later but he is very true to his word that means a lot to him they come out of hyperspace into paridia on the eye of soron the planet has a halo of whale bones and they mention like there's a lot of legends about paridia it's where the night sisters came from and morgan elsbeth has been hearing about it so she wants to go there because of that balan calls it a graveyard and based on the whale bones it kind of looks like a graveyard yeah um bob let's call it that planet confirmed metal that's right metal that shit was metal as fuck i i was like oh like a whale's graveyard cool kind of like the elephant's

graveyard from lion king which i think i was like do not go out there past those lands which is actually kind of funny that it is kind of in the middle of nowhere just like i i'm gonna say this too the person who wrote this if it's feloni or someone else feloni this week out of this planet they've thought of lions king elephant graveyard if we ever meet feloni i'm that's the first thing i'm gonna ask him i'm gonna just think why do you wear a cowboy hat every day but i will not ask him i will ask about the elephant graveyard and said but when i noticed the rings were fragments of dead fucking whales. Metal AF.

Metal as fuck, as the kids say. No, the kids say metal AF. I say metal as fuck because I'm old. Awesome. Awesome. And it's a fucking witch planet as well. Very cool. However, kind of fucked up that Ahsoka asked these whales to go visit, like, a bunch of their dead whales.

I thought of that immediately. Yeah. You think she didn't know right no there's no way she could know it seemed like that it seemed like they knew legends about it through like night sister stuff and they were you know elspeth was being spoken to by the night mothers or whatever ahsoka probably does if she knew that's a little fucked up because people were also saying i saw on the star wars reddit like when ahsoka gets there she's gonna look at the whales and be like all right kill yourself like what's going on there we're good we're good uh guys do whatever you do around these parts and

it's like yeah that's gonna like does she do the whales know that she's got to get back like is that their final resting place a journey that they get to and eventually they're like all right we're too tired to get back we're staying here here. I don't know. That would be a bad beat. That would be a very Star Wars-y thing. You just see the last elephant drinking the Kool-Aid, falling on the ground and being like, oh shit, this is fucking the suicide forest that Logan Paul

or Jake Paul, one of the Pauls went to. Logan. Yeah, it was Logan. With a goddamn what was it, the Shrek hat? One of the most absurd images I've ever seen in my life. No, it was the claw. It was the claw. He had the alien from Toy Story it was the claw it was the claw he had the alien from toy story that was bad foster a story so yeah a tough break it's one of those things where she like asks them and all the whales looked at each other and like man that's kind of and she probably felt the mood and as a jedi you should feel that kind of you should feel awkwardness

with the force you should feel that and they're just like oh no no it's okay it's like a little kid who didn't know he just said something that was very offensive so i'm sure they're all right with it but man that has to feel weird as you see like fragments of whale ribs just fucking floating past your head as you're going into the planet as soon as they come out of hyperspace just that dude like oh oh no so they do head down onto the planet on this little tiny gold ship um the gold ship to me looked like it was like a paper airplane, almost like a golden paper airplane. The way it goes down. There's giant Nightsister statues, three mothers that they meet with down below. And the Nightsisters or the Nightmothers have been reaching out to Elspeth, as I mentioned, maybe through dreams or through visions or voices or something. And they mentioned they smelled Jedi. And I think this is assumed to be Sabine because they immediately pointed on Sabine and they say it, you know, they call her an it, it smells like Jedi, get it in prison, whatever, get it restrained. Part of me was like, is any part of them smelling Jedi on Balin? And they're getting mixed signals, you know, because we think

maybe Balin can come around and turn on Elspeth. His ideals don't seem to align with hers completely. But Sabine is jailed. Balin, again, doesn't love this because he feels like he's breaking his word. And he talks a little bit about Shin and the next generation. It seems like he really does care about his apprentice. He's not one of these power hungry people necessarily he's just trying to build the next generation in this i gotta admit there were some pretty bad volume scenes i thought there were a few scenes outdoor that i thought were so clearly filmed in the volume where like they had fans blowing balin and shin's hair but the lighting was just not lining up yeah so i probably

had a low i again i'm a fucking close caption guy and as even if i don't need to read them the eyes just go directly there and i'm too lazy to turn them off if i don't think i need them this was another episode where it's just like i am so fucking mad this baling actor is dead he is so fucking good and even if we get another actor he's just nailing the role so it's like i don't even know if another actor could even do a good job of it what do you think jedi smells like oh great question you gotta throw like some kind of like does it smell like um weld it like a welder almost because i'm thinking like the lightsaber igniting the metal igniting something like a welder i would i would say i'll tell you what jedi smells like it smells like potpourri little granola maybe a little hint a homeless person they're fucking hippies the

jedis are hippies what does a hippie smell like robbie weed smells like weed they smell like weed let's call it like someone's smoking weed right now sabine was probably smoking weed on the way there she definitely if any of them were doing it sabine was sabine was the one like the artsy fartsy creative one like yeah she's smoking she's in the jail and you just see like balin goes and just hits it and passes the joint through like the bars or whatever of the jail i could see that and i did kind of think the same thing with balan where it's like is this going to be the redirect where he does have that jedi in him i think he's pretty happy very much like nope right dab in the middle i ain't sith but i'm not jedi and i actually like

that about him i do also love that there is a chance that it's like he just has the old Jedi smell on him it's like when you when you leave a friend's house and they still smell like their house which is one of the weirdest things little you turn on a little quick left turn in the pockets right now how everyone's house has a smell to it and you can't smell it unless you go on like a week trip and you come back like oh oh, this is what our house smells like. It's one of the things that is just one of the weirdest unexplained. I'm sure it's been explained, but just like mysteries of life, I guess you could say. And the fact this guy probably still has a little Jedi temple smell on him from fucking like 40 years ago. I kind of love that.

I remember like going over friends' houses and like it could be a friend's house you hadn't gone to in literally years. And the second you walk through the door, you're like, that's this smell i mean disney when we went to disney that was the first thing i said when i walked into the hotel i was like i haven't been here since i was four and this smell just triggered like a nostalgic bone in my body somehow very strange how that works but smells take you back sometimes sometimes i'll catch a whiff and i'll be like that smells like kindergarten and they've've literally at Disney pump like certain smells in certain parts to trigger that for you. And I think in our hotel, they literally did that. So it is funny how that.

I want to get a Disney candle. Do they sell those? That just makes your, your house smell like Disney. So you can get, from what I've seen, you could get the one of the hotel. We were at the, was at the Floridian. You can go to Pirates of the Caribbean where it's like that bromine smell. I'm so in on this. Yeah, there's a smell to Space Mountain

and I could not find a Space Mountain candle, but that smell is one of my favorite smells in the world because I just used to love that ride when I was a kid. And I'm like, I'm looking all over for like a maniac and I could never find it. So it's like, ah, fuck it. But yeah, there's smells. I could, I can tell you right now,

I could take a thousand smell test and i can tell you like some of my best friend's houses and be like yep that's the one yeah and if they all smell the same i can be like nope that's not it that's not it boom that's perfect so uh the fact that there is still a jedi smell which i'm telling you is just weed a little bit of like crunchy granola potpourri kind of stuff it It's nothing. Oh my God. Do you think they've ever used like their lightsabers to light a bong? A fountain.

The dude, the dude with the long head does that all the time. Which I don't know his name, but yeah. He has the big, he's a beard, right? He's a big beard.

That guy is lighting his lightsaber to light that bong. And they can say, what about the droid attack on the Wookiees? That's what he says in the prequels. Yeah, it's great. They could definitely make their like weed smoke to like anime as it's because they have like they tell stories with it and shit yeah and by the way yoda like that there's

also the side of jedi's that smell like yoda and he smells like dirt he smells like fall in like late october where it's damp the leaves have been out for a while there's mud around that's a little dagobah, Yoda I'm thinking of. But that's part of the Jedi as well. Little earthy. I love it. Another thing I love is Factor. With the busy fall season already in swing,

So it's nothing but love right now between the basement and the lights, the camera and the Barstool boys.

It's true. And if you're listening to this today on release day or even later, I was on Lights, Camera, Barstool today to talk about Ahsoka. So if you want to hear me repeat some points and talk about the similar things that we talked about on this show, go listen to Lights, Camera, Barstool. It's with Jeff and Robbie Guchman, though, so it's a little different. If you want to listen to people that know what they're talking about,

more importantly, and now listen to me, listen to that episode. But they will not be talking about the smell of people's houses lighting bonds with lightsabers stuff like that that is a my mom's basement exclusive right there that's right back to the show sabine tries to tap into the force in her cell and you see a little rumbling you see a little dust falling from the wall and you're like oh maybe she's getting the hang of it a little bit. No, that's just Thrawn and his ship, the Chimera, coming onto this platform. And the way it kind of settles down onto the tower was very cool. Thrawn finally arrives in live action.

He's been stuck in this galaxy for about 10 years with Ezra in the context of Star Wars. You know, it's been less time since that episode of Rebels came out. But we see his army as well in the closed captions. They call them night troopers. Very cool name for him and a very, very cool look for them, especially Thrawn's new right hand man guy, Enoch. When he turns around for the first time and you see that gold plated stormtrooper helmet with the almost samurai or Roman empire face on it. Holy shit. That was metal. That was awesome. They also have just a look and a vibe about them that isn't your general stormtrooper with a new coat of paint, which you get a lot in Star star wars they actually have a pretty unique vibe to him thrones told about balan he recognizes the name he actually meets sabine and he tells her

like i'll allow you to search for ezra but we're fucking getting out of here so you could just search here and maybe you guys can die he tells her straight up he's like ezra might be dead by the way i think sabine is like hey if you're you're alive i think he's probably alive too and my favorite throne line of the entire episode he just walks up to her and he's like you put you gambled the entire fate of your galaxy on that belief and the way he delivers it is it's a word i mentioned before it's chilling that's how throne kind of speaks and he's the opposite he's the anti-Darth Maul in that way. He's never going to do the flips with the double lightsaber and the crazy shit. He's just going to be lurking in the shadows, and he's going to be out thinking you every step of the way. That's a good point.

So that was my taste of Thrawn. That was my little free sample, my little Dixie cup worth of Thrawn there. And I have to say, it was good. It's like, that's another quick lifter. It's always fucked up how every time I taste a free sample, that food tastes incredible. throw them there and i have to say it was good it's like that's it another quick lifter it's always fucked up how every time i taste a free sample that food tastes incredible at costco they make it in like a microwave it's some reheated chicken breast that i would never buy in a million years and then i eat them like oh this is like five star quality meal and then i get it myself

and it tastes awful so anyway that throw on i think i'm gonna get the full meal thrown and it's gonna be very good i'm very excited about that. Seeing that Star Destroyer come, does he have a special Star Destroyer? Is there like Thrawn class or anything like special about this one? It is a little special. It seems battle damaged from what we saw. Like a lot of it is kind of fucked up probably from the Battle of Lothal about 10 years ago. But he also has that awesome design on the bottom.

They call it the Chimera. That's the name of his ship. That's right. Yeah. You guys told me about the design too. I remember that was like, Oh, wait till you see thrown at the design.

Like you guys were like school girls talking about a kid. They had a crush on. I was so, it was so adorable, but that made it move. So you just see the star destroyer in general. I'm always been a big star destroyer fan. And then the,

like you said, the gold face storm trooper, we're having a little bit of a, personality in our stormtroopers here. They're not just all just carbon copies of each other without anything. I like that. Even like the crack in the armor and stuff like that. And then, like you said, the gold-faced stormtrooper. Now, this guy's name is Enoch.

Do we know Enoch from Rebels at all? Do we know him before he had a gold face, after he had a gold face? No. No idea. First appearance ever of Eoch right here okay throne had like a different right hand man in rebels and in the legends his uh totally separate right hand man like eventually killed him almost i think that's how jafar gets taken down right by his own friggin parrot almost one of those uh throne takedowns i don't know why that's the first reference that came to mind for me. First of all, I love the reference. Second of all, though,

it's incorrect, unfortunately. He gets taken down by his own hubris. He becomes a genie. Honestly, I think I might be thinking of Return of Jafar, the second one, which I loved on VHS, and I know people really didn't, but I'm pretty sure that's how Return of Jafar goes. Well, spoiler alert

for anyone that was going to watch Return of Jafar. Me, however, I never watched those second movies Of Disney movies because they're always just absolutely Terrible I've never seen it I think that would be a fitting way To end is that you know the parrot Yago I believe his name is Yes Gilbert Godfrey

Sienna was just in Aladdin Over the you know last at the end of last year It's the only reason I know his name Very good Disney character kind of gets slept on because you do have so many other good sidekicks that are just like him as well as like a boo. The good sidekicks are good as well. But yeah, a spoiler for everyone out there, by the way, I use hubris on the fly.

I can't believe I use that word correctly on the fly. The gold face. I'm going to tell you what it reminds me of. And I don't know if anyone else is on the same page i thought of the sons of the harpy little game of thrones there remember they were the ones that like turned on calise and shit i love the fucking harpy so i was happy to see it back in my life so i i dug that and i'm gonna just say it right now i don't know much about enoch i am going to guarantee capital g september 20 2023 clem guarantees enoch is going to guarantee, capital G, September 20, 2023, Clem guarantees Enoch is going to be better than Captain Phasma.

Because Captain Phasma, you literally can't be worse than Captain Phasma. And she was fucking platinum head to toe, looking cool as shit. This guy's a little fucking, has a little spice on him. He's a little dusty, but I think he's going to fucking, I think he's going to be awesome. Or at least better than her. Not a high bar to clear. I think that's gonna fucking i think he's gonna be awesome or at least better than her not not a high bar to clear i think that's a good prediction speaking of predictions when it comes to this army i'm seeing a lot of speculation that this is a dead army reanimated by the night sisters or night mothers if that is the case i think that would be so awesome and going off what

i said before instead of just you know trotting out a new army of stormtroopers with a new coat of paint which star wars has done over and over and over again at this point if there's zombie stormtroopers that would be awesome and there's a little bit of like visual evidence to this and that their armor is all fucked up and they're all wrapped in red cloth which red you associate with the night sisters immediately or the night mothers i think there's a very good chance thrawn is running a zombie army here which is fucking metal at all that's also feels like a war crime but again these wars have so many war crimes in them i don't think anyone like when you blow up a whole planet i think like war crimes are out the window at that point everything's a war crime that these guys commit that's good i would also love it if like you shoot the stormtrooper and since there's

zombies they just like keep coming at you like you can't fucking kill these guys right until that'd be awesome yes the lightsaber them in the gut and then they turn into smoke but everything other than that okay i'm done well people were saying is that is the smoke guy maric a precursor to these guys to kind of introduce the idea of night sisters reanimating bodies yeah like maric they probably threw like they probably gave him like made him a 99 overall for what they could do imagine but these guys are probably you know they're stormtroopers they're like they they 50 we have to make a bunch so you can't like make them as awesome as maric was even though he kind of stunk looking back but they will have a little

extra i'm hoping a little something extra to them, because I'm sick of the same old Xerox Stormtroopers, which I guess was kind of their charm until like the 100th fucking content series we had. I was like, all right, we've had enough of them. Speaking of the Nightsisters, cool name. This was also, they are, in general, kind of where I'm tiptoeing to being like this is a part of

star wars that is bigger than my brain can can handle and it's just a lot because i think when you get into the night sisters you start dealing with like the actual force and the magical sides of whatever the this this galaxy and that's a lot that's a lot to take in i also saw there was some talk about anakin and if he's part of the god and then there's these gods of the force that should if it gets introduced i'm just telling you robbie me and like half the people listening who are casual fans it's a lot to take in and now luckily for me again got my thrones i got my sci-fi i i've known to dabble in stuff that has like magic, but like those chicks doing weird shit is going to be very weird.

They actually reminded me of the dungeons and dragons movie, which by the way is a fucking really good movie. Everyone should watch it. It's funny. It's much better than I ever imagined it would be after hearing it was much better than you would imagine it would be. There are like these red witches in it. And that's the only reason why I think I can kind of take these witches and

I'm ready for what they're about to fucking unfurl my ass. Yeah. You mentioned the possible force God thing there in Clone Wars. Anakin eventually goes to this planet called Mortis, where there is like a father, a daughter and a son. The daughter representing the light side of the force, the son representing the dark side. He tries to bring Anakin to the dark side by showing him his future basically and then the father kind of being the all-knowing god of the force there's some speculation that anakin could eventually become like the god of the force the either the brother or the father if they go there in live action i i

agree it will be a lot for everyone to take in because the Mortis stuff in Clone Wars is some of the only stuff. I would say the Mortis stuff and then similarly in Rebels, the World Between Worlds, where even some of the animated fans are like, whoa, pump the brakes, Filoni. That's a bit much. Like for me, it's been so many years since the Mortis episode came out that I kind of like it's just part of Star Wars canon at this point for me. But even for me, that's a lot talking about gods and the force and who really runs the force, who controls the force, stuff like that. It's a lot to think about. It really is. So you're not alone there.

You mentioned if the Nightsisters reanimating these troopers could be war crimes. I think it could be war crimes, but different galaxies, international waters, I think. I think you're fine. Okay, good. We are on the same page. It's like maritime law. Isn't that what they call it, right? Yes, perfectly well said.

And listen, again, we're in this together. Even Robbie, it's a little much for him. I don't think they're going to go there, by the way. And listen, again, we're in this together. Even Robbie, it's a little much for him. And I guess like it is. I don't think they're going to go there, by the way. People are speculating that Anakin's going to become the father of the force and stuff. I don't think that that's where this is going. I wouldn't be mad if it was where it was going. I'd be fine with that.

But I just I'd be surprised if they dumped that on everyone's head live action. We got through the world between worlds without getting like they did enough to like i could be like oh that's kind of like this state that's not reality but not death you're kind of in the middle there and we kind of like got through it again here so it all we're all gonna be all right that's what i'm trying to say here everything and even if it's not we're in it together we'll all figure it out and i don't think they're gonna do that either for the record i just i hear stuff i hear theories and i'm just like, oh my God. But you know what?

It is better than just being like midichlorians. And we're talking about little fucking white blood cells and shit like that. Exactly. So they give Sabine a howler, which is like this rat wolf hybrid type thing. And they tell her like, all right, go find your friend. Have fun. Like we're done our contract here is over you you brought us here and thron is now discovered half because of you so

we'll keep up our end of the deal she uses a empire strikes back style tracker looks around she gets attacked by some raiders eventually as a last-ditch effort against these raiders she does whip out the lightsaber she looks a little better with the lightsaber. She's still swinging it like a baseball bat, more than like someone with style and her own kind of style of combat. You could tell the Mandalorian weapons are still her bag. When she's hitting, you know, grapple hooks and stuff like that, drop kicks, that's a little more Sabine. But is Thrawn really holding up his end of the deal here? I don't really know. Cause he sends Balan and Shin out to follow her. And he's basically like,

if she finds Ezra, kill him. And Balan's kind of like, well, that's not our deal. There's already dissent between Balan and Thrawn. He's not really brought it up to Thrawn, but I think in his mind, he's like, what are we doing? You're dealing with a guy, like you say, he saying the j word around him is who jedi jedi so he has a problem with it he's pure empire so that that's gonna be very interesting how it all plays out and god if he's the one who takes care of my guy valent i'm gonna i i might have to learn to hate thron here i'm gonna be like you guys who seem to all hate Thrawn despite him being very cool. Don't fucking touch Bailey. Kill the chick.

What's her name? Shin. Shin. I couldn't care less. See, yeah, don't kill the chick. I like the chick. I'm a big fan. You like the chick?

Oh, Baba's a cry. Listen, I saw a picture of her on set riding a kid's land speeder, like the one that you'd buy at Target or whatever, smoking a cigarette, and it was the coolest thing I've ever seen in my life. In her Jedi costume still. And her and Balin, we've mentioned it probably three weeks in a row now.

Their Jedi, you can't call them Jedi robes, but their dark Jedi robes are awesome. The medieval armor on top of it and everything, it's so badass. I think someone tweeted, it might have been on the Star Wars Reddit, it's so badass some i think someone tweeted it might have been on the star wars reddit it was just a thread title like oh my god the amount of money lego is going to make from this episode alone yeah god almighty that's it that's right

uh thrawn i love thrawn can just be like i kept my promise from a certain point of view right but like if you're Sabine, you're just like, man, you kept your end of the bargain. That's all you can really ask for. He gives you legitimately a rat from the New York City sewers and is like, go ride this fucking thing. That thing was disgusting, but it was actually more

of a brain than I thought it was going to have. And again, you can't really get mad. Everyone came through with their end of the bargain and I just respected that. There is a time in Star Wars where everything was black and white, good and evil, and everyone had to do their thing. Which kind of one of the things I loved about Lando is that Lando, like he kind of did what was best for him.

He didn't just go with the good or the bad. He kind of had to sell his boy out. He didn't want to. And that was kind of what made Empire so fun. And I think the mix of the two. So I thought that was very cool. And like like you said she is much better with her she's i forget she has that armor on like oh fuck what is she doing but then like the lightsaber ended up coming out clutch for her more than anything at the end which i didn't see coming at all you just mentioned lando did you see the lando news this past week? Is it they're going from TV show to movie?

Is that what it is? Exactly. Yeah, so Donald Glover's Lando TV show that I believe he was going to write with his brother is now transitioning to a Lando movie. This is one of those things where in Star Wars, I feel like we could take all of this with a grain of salt because of the amount of movies that have been pitched and proposed and started and pre-production has begun and then they don't get made. But if this does get made, I think making it a movie might be the right call. Like Obi-Wan was a movie originally and they said, let's stretch it out and make it a show. And that gave us some filler and some stuff that wasn't so great. I've heard that the fan edit of Obi-Wan where they cut it down to a two-hour movie is awesome.

Maybe that's what they're doing with Lando. Maybe they're like, let's cut out all of the nonsense, all of the filler. I think Star Wars needs to go on a run of all killer, no filler, to borrow a word from Sum 41, all-time album there. I think they need a run of that for a little bit. And Ahsoka could be a step in the right direction. If they nail the final two episodes of Ahsoka, I think this first season is going to be widely, widely praised, especially in hindsight.

Yeah, I don't remember what happened in the first two episodes of this series. So they're good now, as long as they just, they landed. I really want to see this two-hour Obi-Wan cut, see how well it is, because I never want to rewatch the show Obi-Wan. I see how well it is because I never want to re-watch the show Obi-Wan I just have a bad taste in my mouth whenever I think about it I also then want to watch a two hour cut of nothing but the

Leia chase scene in the woods to laugh my ass off at how ridiculous it was and then this I think I said it with Marvel I'd rather like listen my time is not valuable I'm sitting at home I'm working I'm blogging I'm editing whatever not valuable. I'm sitting at home. I'm working. I'm blogging.

I'm editing, whatever it may be. I'm podcasting. But I will pay $15, $20, whatever the movies cost these days. Plus, let's be honest, the popcorn is another $10. I'll probably sneak in a water. So we're looking at $30. $30 to not have to spend an hour six to eight to ten times watching a show that's going to end up being mid at best is an absolute out for me i'll take it i'll go to the movie theater still spend two hours of my time

and then live with the money and the time that i wasted i'd much rather do that than the like draining me every single week or i'm like oh maybe this is a week obi-wan gets better and i'm looking like there was like four cool darth v Vader parts and maybe a few other things. So I consider this a win. I love Lando. I love Donald Glover. I think it could all come together. That being said, he was also part of fucking Solo.

And I did not like that movie. That was kind of like the- He's a good part of Solo though. He is. It's like the best part of Solo, some would say, right? By far, yeah. I agree with your point though, as far as like tv verse movies you just saying that made me think well solo is my least favorite star wars movie ever and i'm still probably more likely to go back and re-watch

solo than i am to go back and watch say the entire season of book of boba fett and i didn't even hate book of boba fett at all but just looking back i think it's a much easier to digest easier to consume thing when it's a two hour hour and a half movie whatever it may be and that's the other thing do not make it two hours and 45 minutes give us two hour movies i don't know where those fucking like where two hour movies went it seems like it's either like 90 minutes or dude i just rewatched fargo and fargo is like 90 minutes and they get so much done it's a perfect movie literally perfect that it made me think like why doesn't every movie just hit the ground running like fargo does yeah i'm sure the people the guys on lights camera barstool can like

explain the differences in movies you know now versus 10 20 30 years ago but at some some point we lost our way and it has been lost for a while. And I mean, we saw... Actually, that was the perfect way to see Barbenheimer is we saw a three-hour epic and then we saw a 90-minute brainless movie of Staying in the Nicest Way Possible. I don't want any of my coworkers to get that. And it was like...

That was like, oh, okay. There can still be two different movies. But again, maybe it's more so... There can be. There can be. No, no, no. It's more so the Star Wars and the Marvel genres genres it's like everything has to be 245 and it's like just so bloated i just think of ant-man quantum mania i'm like oh just end this movie now so all

right donald lover you show me what you can do baby i'm fucking and he's writing it you said him and his brother i believe yeah we're fine if he's if he's in charge we're fine until mickey gets his fucking fingerprints on it until then. We'll be fine. Just depends how much the mouse changes. So Balin and Shin Balin actually calls Sabine a Bokan, which is kind of a cool thing. It's a term for a Jedi trained in the wild or guy.

Heavy spoilers pointed out that Bokan is a wooden training sword for samurai. So like being like a wooden sword it's kind of like wild it's out in the wild and uh balence is he wants to make something better he's like i want to make something better the next generation maybe a new jedi order maybe he just wanted to get so far away from the empire that he wants to start a jedi order on this planet i'm not really sure but he feels something stirring on the planet. Thrawn also mentions in this episode he has dwindling forces.

He's like, our forces, we don't have enough troops to fucking send out there. Is there a chance Thrawn has been fighting something off on this planet that like he's been at war on it and he's trying to escape because of that, half because of that? They're approached by different raiders though and we don't really get to see what happens with them while sabine comes across these rock people that

we call them the new t or the nutty the nutty the nudie it's n-u-t-i no we call them rock turtles bob that's what i call them oh look at those rock turtles they rule i like them they seem fun and cute and uh i hope that i do not learn to hate them like i hated some of the things in the sequel trilogy like poor more ewokie right yeah you didn't learn to hate porgs did you you don't hate porgs well i don't hate porgs the hurt in your voice great they're great but they're in movies that i do not like so it's like i see them and i think the movies i don't think anything else but the movie so it's unfortunate it is what it is we'll get past it we'll be fine these turtle guys though they're cool with me i don't think we're gonna have any ahsoka deep-seated hatred of the series based on like how it finishes

so i love these turtle you like the turtle guys right the rock turtles oh i love them they remind me of the turtle or the rock people from frozen frozen yep i was the same same thing yep i was the little trolls. And I like those guys too. Those guys are great. Those guys rule. They bring the person back to health. Is it Anna they bring back to health when she gets frozen?

It is Anna. It is Anna. I think we have to go with the soft A. We might get canceled if you go Anna. I believe it's Anna. Was it Anna? I don't want to offend the Norwegian contingent here that are listening to the podcast.

So it's Anna and Elsa. And that was thanks to my nonstop Frozen watching with a little daughter that came out right around the time sienna sienna was born yeah so these rock people though they kind of get their fits off they got like nice clothing and everything and a necklace that sabine is like what's that necklace and they show it's a rebel necklace and they're like, oh, we know Ezra. They don't speak English, but they're like, Ezra Bridger, Ezra Bridger. So she follows them. It's a nice little like friendly scene.

Went on a little long, I felt like. Yep, agreed. Her with the rat wolf thing going back and forth. But eventually they do bring her to Ezra and there's a great reunion scene where they're back. Ezra has a full beard now. Ezra kind of looks like his dad looked in Rebels which we never met his dad we just saw a picture of him but really cool reunion he has her pack up and move with them because they got to move to a new

location they can never stay in the same spot for too long another thing that makes me think maybe Thrawn is at war with something out here it's not just the Raiders that are after these guys what did you think of Ezra your first time seeing him it's not like the raiders that are after these guys what did you think of ezra your first time seeing him it's not like you get a ton of them here but likable guy likable guy i'm a fan uh he actually as i just say this about uh the porgs he reminds me of finn a little enough uh is it finn poe poe poe he reminds me of poe he reminds me of poe a little bit and again nothing against the character of the man. It just has a bad taste in my mouth from that stuff.

But in terms of the character, cool with him. Seems like you guys like... Where does he stand in the Rebels? In terms of favorite characters, cool characters, badass characters. Is he like... I imagine Ahsoka's number one,

right? Yeah. Yes. And then is he like a tier ahsoka is number one right yeah yes and then is he like a tier below yeah he's probably he could be number two on because he's the main character of rebels really he's like the guy in rebels oh shit so we've been looking for the main character this whole time yeah this is the stuff that i need that i that i am happy i am learning now that i had no idea i figured we're looking for like a really good supporting character, like a Draymond Green. We're not looking for, like, you're telling me this guy is Steph. We're looking for Steph.

But no, we're, you know, fucking KD for that year. No, no, we're talking fucking Steph. Boy. And he goes from being like kind of a naive kid who's interested in this stuff to becoming pretty badass. Like by the time rebels is over, he's the one that makes the call to, you know,

connect with the Pergill and send himself and thrown out to this new galaxy just to save his friends and everything. And he has a cane and jarist, Freddie Prince jr. As his master through this whole journey, he is really bad as his first lightsaber is actually something he built himself. And it's the first like blaster lightsaber so it's like a lightsaber with a hilt and then it has another part he could shoot with it as it goes up it's it's pretty fucking sweet that one gets destroyed now sabine has his lightsaber the one she's been using is really hits okay so i was gonna say if this guy has a fucking blaster lightsaber and this is the first

i'm hearing of it, I'm going to be pretty upset. The fact it's destroyed, I'm no longer upset that it skipped your mind. I still wish I'd known about it, because I'd be like, we've got to find this guy Ezra. We've got to find his blaster lightsaber. That's like the Han Luke special, because Han hates fucking lightsabers

and, you know, or who is it? Obi-Wan doesn't really, the rudimentary, you know, he throws a blast there he has nothing for this fucking shit uncivilized how close are sabine and ezra extra close like there's like are they the friends that are okay so she went across the galaxy but it's not like everyone would have done that this is like her dude so she that's why she was the one who did it okay so i knew that's why i knew you were going to come for me all right so we got that in the book i figured that was the case but just had to make sure uh oh did ezra have a lightsaber that was also a blaster yeah he did bro you gotta tell me

Now though, it is truly the best ticketing app on the internet. And I use it all the time. Concerts, sports shows, everything. I already, and Bob, I have something that I, I'll be honest,

I didn't even know GameTime did. I heard you just say it in the ad there, but I didn't realize it at first. The other day, I was talking to Sienna, and she had said how she wanted to see Wicked. And I said, you know what? We're going to do a Wicked trip because AJ did Wizard of Oz, and he's obsessed with it, or at least was when he was in preschool last year. So we're going to do a trip to Wicked.

And then I saw the prices of Wicked down in the city and said, we're going to use Game Time to go see Wicked. We're going to get those last-minute deals and go see Wicked. So the kids are going to love that. So can't wait to do it. Shout out to Game Time. I love it. Back to Ahsoka. We end the episode

with Thrawn and morgan elspeth and the night mothers they request to speak with thrawn he's like what's going on here he learns that ahsoka's coming they're like the threads of fate have told us another jedi is coming and he's like could it be the recently deceased ahsoka tano he's one step ahead like he always is and they're like uh yeah that's her and he's pissed he's not really showing how pissed he is but he says balen is flawed we have to look at that jedi is flawed now because he told you that she was deceased he wants to know everything about ahsoka he's like let me know her master let me know her this let me know her that her home world i want to know

everything about this person they're also loading up cargo during this conversation. They very much look like coffins. I don't know what the fuck is in that, but they're like floating human sized boxes. They're loading onto the ship. And he has this line where he says, if a star whale approaches, destroy it with prejudice. That is just someone with a deep-seated hatred for those fucking star whales. And he tells the Nightmother, she's like, I'm going to require your dark magic, which I've seen some people pointing out as to like, he underestimated the supernatural last time with the star whales, and now he's embracing it and fully embracing the supernatural to the point where does he have a fucking army of zombies? Yet to be seen. I heard that, and they said magic. And in close caption, it had magic with a CK at the end.

And I said, oh, no, this is bad. This is very bad. Like you're throwing the magic with a CK and you have to embrace it. And the super evil, brilliant, militaristic mind guy is like, yeah, I'm going to embrace it. And I'm using the word prejudice. There's a world of pain coming for our our girl ahsoka and hui yang and i'm just hoping they make it luckily for the whales they're going to their own grave anyway so it's a one-stop shop for them but i can understand like imagine thron you're stuck in this fucking place so far from your home and just all these whales are coming there they probably like shit and piss and then they die

and stink up the place with dead whale planet cannot smell good if there's a ring of dead whales around your planet it has to smell awful there so i completely he was like blow these fuckers up even if he didn't even have a soka in it he's like just murder those motherfuckers i'm 100 down with that uh and i also have to shout out i meant that i meant to mention this earlier our guy balan when he was talking about the jedi kind of had me fall in love with him again because he was like the jedi they he's like i don't really miss it but he's like he did like you tell you like had some good experiences there but he knows how flawed they were he's basically a star wars commenter he's basically us yeah if only we could have balan in the basement uh but the whole thing

about he was in the Jedi Temple, it sounds like when Order 66 happened, right? That we can kind of, you know, put that all together there. I got to know, like, if fucking Anakin took a swipe at him or not, right? I know. He probably hates the fuck out of Anakin. And then probably hates Ahsoka because she's fucking Anakin's protege, right? There's some sticky situations beneath there

him and that inquisitor from obi-wan would get along they just both fucking hate anakin from that night anakin caused so much trauma anyone that he let survive that night has like pretty much that's changed the course of their life that'll do it to you that'll do it people including a bunch of kids yeah that'll do it but yeah like yeah 100 large set of thing about like getting married to someone it was like one of the greatest lines he's like you don't need to love the same things the true magic is when you hate the same things and that's what i think the inquisitor and our boy balin they they'd be fucking best friends for life based on that look at fucking anakin little mr robot body you know they'd just be throwing some zingers i don't

like you smell a campfire? Oh, it must be Anakin in the room. Don't worry about it. It's good like that. Now, let me propose something that you might be in on, you might be out on. It's a prediction slash a hope slash maybe this is where they go. I think to make Thrawn

the villain that he was promised to be and the villain that we know he could be I think he should kill a major character in the next two episodes I'm thinking back to Avengers, I'm thinking back to Avengers Infinity War

the first Avengers when Loki kills Coulson and that whole team has to rally around Coulson the fucking bloody baseball card that's a moment that makes you feel something for the Avengers that none of us ever felt before makes you feel something for Coulson, the fucking bloody baseball card. That's a moment. That makes you feel something for the Avengers that none of us ever felt before. Makes you feel something for Coulson as well. Makes you feel bad for him.

And Loki. Makes you be like, this fucking Loki guy is out of control. Totally. In Infinity War, you get Thanos doing something very similar to a lot of the heroes we love. And it's like, oh shit, this guy is not to be messed with. To Loki. He kills Loki's ass when he's good. Yeah.

I don't know who the character is. My gut says who Yang would make a big, big impact on a lot of these characters. If Thrawn goes in and kills a 25,000 year old droid, I think that could be huge. I don't think he's going to kill, say, Sabine. I think that would be crazy if he did. And this full season was almost like this was the last fucking part of sabine's life she put her life on the line to get ezra back now they're all fighting for her that would also be heartbreaking that'd be crazy i think who yang might be the guy though i think you get to that planet you split

them up somehow and you have who yang go out, thrown, jump back into our galaxy, kill a bunch of those new Republic fleets that were waiting around at that planet. And then it's like, Oh, that finale, we got to get this motherfucker. I'm with you,

Bob. I thought who Yang was the guy when you told me there was going to be someone, if I had to pick it and he's been like, kind of like being like, Oh, when I used to always tell them to stay together. And when you were young and I used to tell stories and this, I used to love when you tell me stories.

Like all you got to hear is like, I'm one day till retirement. And then me and my wife are going off to our, you know, lake house. And we're going to be living the easy life forever. Who Yang is cooked. Breaking news. Fucking put it on the YouTube. Who Yang is dead. I'm just telling you now.

He's dying. He's fucking dead. We've been wrong about these things a million times. However, this one feels, it's never felt so right. Hu Yang, I will agree though. And this is someone who has really no attachment to Sabine like you guys do

who've actually watched those shows. Sabine would be like the oh fuck moment where he just fucking, I was going to say puts a lightsaber through her. He doesn't hold lightsabers and she's already recovered from one of those fucking yeah that won't affect her much yeah make her stronger if anything but yeah i it's kind of fucked up i want him to kill sabine because i want him to really go break even pure evil to someone like me it's like i can't i can't root for this guy now That's why I don't want him to kill Balin.

Cause Balin's my guy. But if he kills someone like that, who's a good guy, like Sabine, it just feels like there's a lot more to the Sabine bone that has to be picked off. It would be very, we would have wasted a lot of time this season worrying about Sabine moving

cups with her mind to then have her get killed. So yeah, I I'm with you, Bob. I think who Yang, his time is probably up. He's probably told this story and I'm kind of hoping. Now, could this happen?

Hu Yang gets killed. Chopper finds out. I feel like there's a little droid connection there. And then I get to see the war criminal I was promised by you guys that has not showed up at all this season. Chopper goes full. Denzel Washington equalizer. Takes out the fucking pistols. Holds them sideways like R2 and the family guy special.

That is the chopper we need. And that's also maybe me saying who Yang could get killed is chopper Rob speaking, being like, maybe we can get that droid out of here and lift up a different droid into that slot. Yeah, I feel like two droids might be too much, right? Chopper needs a big moment in the finale, at least. 100%. Like 3PO and R2 played off each other well you really don't have two droids that really play off each other like that can share the screen unless they're playing off each other so i think that's that's what's gonna happen the really this is the sick part if he had killed like jason that would

have been fucking raw that would be raw like but killing a woman or a child is really fucked up that's if you want to really but you know droid's pretty much up there too right k2 we love i mean he's the most devastating death in rogue one by far 100 that's gonna be interesting re-watching that now after we meet these other characters in the andor and being like he might not be that but as of now he is so i'm with you bob you've heard it here first my mom's base was september 20th who gang is muerte muerte nice i've got a hashtag for the people to use this week i think a decent one let's hear about hashtag basement magic with a ck yes i like that magic with the ck instead of black magic dark that. And magic with a CK. Instead of black magic, dark magic,

Nightsister magic, basement magic if you've made it to the end of the episode. We appreciate you if you made it to the end of the episode. We're two left. Next week is going to be the penultimate episode of Ahsoka. It's big. It's huge for the basement boys. You know the penultimates are, they might as well be the finale to us. A little bit.

I saw some people tweeting at us. This has like event TV starting to come back into their souls, which again, we saw that Loki's going to be a Tuesday night or 9 p.m. I don't know if it's Tuesdays or Wednesdays, but it's 9 p.m. So we have the early start again, which is very nice. By the way, basement magic reminds

me of blood sugar sex magic because it has decay and jelly peppers. Don't you blame Clem. He was he was hit back in the day when he had his, that was a Columbia house purchase. I believe one of my seven CDs I got for a penny. So a basement magic is a good hashtag. And there might be a little basic magic the next two weeks,

depending on what a Soka wants to give us here. Wait, is that we're going to have an Ahsoka finale followed by a Loki premiere. Am I reading the calendar? Right? Oh, doctor. Yeah.
