everything Seth MacFarlane does. Ted, Ted 2, Million Ways to Die in the West, and he's a massive Star Wars fan. He was the writer of Blue Harvest, the Star Wars Family Guy special. So he joined us for Empire. It was a blast. I'll throw it over now to Jeff Lowe, and he will be the one to sort of count you down and get the commentary started.

The road to these movies has been long.

So long. We skipped solo. Jeff Lowe, Clem, Robbie, Joey, Joey, good internet tonight. I think so, man. I'm back in the lab i feel better about tonight i'm crossing my fingers we're gonna be all right ken jack just joined us alex hulken our special guest how are you we're pumped to have you thanks i'm so excited to be here it's one of my favorite movies and i totally agree with skipping solo it's just we didn't need to break that one down wait hey joey yes sir are you wait are you the nick saban guy yeah yeah that's me oh my god you're awesome thanks dude i watched that that first one about don't Ask Me. I'm not saying – I watched that on repeat like a hundred times.

That was great. Thanks, man. That's awesome. I still want the George Lucas impression from Joey, but we'll wait. I'm working on it. That's my favorite. You have the ability to lose your neck completely. It becomes a gullet. It won't be a problem. lose your neck completely. If he comes in, go it.

Won't be a problem. I don't know Joey very much, but I'm sure being known as a Nick Saban guy is the exact thing he wants to. That is tombstone stuff, basically. Hey, rather be known as a Nick Saban guy than nothing at all, I guess. Awesome. That's

dream shit, man. See, we're doing we're doing empire strikes back we're doing like the good one um the best one we did a great one last time as well don't get me wrong we're doing a great one again next week return of the jedi but this is uh obviously largely considered the best one this is 100 out of 100 for me rest in peace ervin kerfner a fucking unbelievable movie uh so I'm just excited to watch. I don't think I've watched Empire in a little while, actually. Unfortunately. We have to watch movies

like... I don't even remember what we reviewed this year. Like Fantasy Island? I think we reviewed that one. That was good. That was a good zero. That's the show where they can't fuck? No. I'm done with the movie. That's... Too hot? Too hot to handle. can't fuck no no i'm not with the movie that's uh i think that's too hard too hard to lie uh

too hard to handle there it is handle yeah i joke but i'll probably start that right after this um all right so people building on in here i'll make sure my blog is up boom gonna hit okay so pulling up on disney plus're just going to sit down and talk about the movie. I'll count down from three. After I say three, two, one, hit play and we will sync up. If you were with us last night, many less problems with this than HBO Go.

HBO Go is just a different... It's different for everyone, so that was kind of a pain. Is everyone ready to go in the chat here on the stream? yeah all right empire strikes back we're gonna hit play in three two one play that glorious fanfare so is this the uh what version of the movie are we watching here because we just did a new hope and then there's just a disney plus version now where grito says mcclunky is this a disney plus empire i don't remember but

i know it's it was the blu-rays i believe uh was it not the blu-rays were a little different they the new door of the millennium falcon or some shit these were the unreleased 3d versions i believe like these were the versions that were going to be 3D. Remember they released Phantom Menace in 3D and then Disney bought them and then they released any of the other ones? This was like the version that was going to have theaters. Where's the headphones? I wonder where they would have stopped had Disney not bought them because 3D was fading out anyway. Oh, yeah.

I actually went and saw that in theaters in college. Alec, off the top top so we set this yeah involvement obviously you were like you were very very heavily involved with the first star wars family guide blue harvest right yes and then the second one something something dark side correct i said that right how what was your involvement in that one compared to the first for that for that one i was it's it was just like any other episode for me where I'm just in the room trying to add jokes to it. But another writer actually went off and wrote the draft. His name is Kirk or Butler.

And I always give him shit because when I wrote the Star Wars one, we got to go up to the Lucas Ranch and watch it with George Lucas, which was like one of the best days of my life and the guy who wrote this one kirker butler didn't get shit so that's always fun for me to remind him what's your favorite one of these with the ship coming and different shit happening right after the credits war drums the war drums is the best thing to ever come out of Sith,

I think. Sith. I agree. I was going to say Sith, yeah. Which, I'll tell you what, if you're into Clone Wars, we tweeted this out the other day, the new Clone Wars episode, they synced up Ahsoka entering the Siege of Mandalore

with the same war drums. The score is a little different, but they synced it Ahsoka entering the Siege of Mandalore with the same war drums. The score is a little different, but they synced it up the same moment that it happens, the opening of Revenge of the Sith that happens. So it syncs up the beginning of that movie. It was really cool, like goosebumps. Cool shit they did. The tracking shot through the Coruscant battle that leads right into the cockpit of the Jedi star fighters. Just so fucking cool.

Awesome. Awesome. By the way, that space battle is much better than the space battle at the end of that last movie. Oh, yeah. So we haven't talked about the last,

uh, movie, but you, you DM me and we're not happy about the Palpatine stuff. It could have been so much better. I love that he was in it. I just thought they, they built it up and they kept saying like the biggest battle and all of the

ships. And you saw them all sitting there facing each other and Lando comes in and everybody gets excited. And then it's like, Oh, all the ships disconnected. We don't get to see that battle. Yeah.

I think the best space battle they've ever done is the one at the end of Rogue One. Oh, yeah. In terms of story impact, for sure. That was awesome. That and there's like actual physical elements where it's like you could see, okay, we need to take down the Star Destroyer with the hammerhead and we're forcing it into the gate to destroy that so we can get onto the planet.

And like the, it's not just like laser shooting at everything. It was awesome. Honorable mention goes to the Jedi attack on the Death Star with just the ocean. I was going to say, that's a top dog for me. Yeah. Watching.

So this is where they had to cover his face being all fucked up from that car accident, right? Yeah, motorcycle accident, I think. Right, right. Hmm. Convenient. Yeah. Then he works at Uber. When you're watching, so like like you probably talked about this with

robbie but it was a while ago when you when he interviewed you about that like you guys go through you just have a notepad while you're watching these and you're jotting down okay this could be funny here when you're parroting uh writing the script yeah it's close to that basically with these we did it a little differently than we normally do. We had the whole staff. So that's like 15 plus people in one room and we would watch it on the monitors and people would just pitch as it was going. And so the good stuff from that we would take down and then we broke up in smaller rooms and took different parts of the movie to kind of try and pitch more jokes and bits for. And then the writer went off and wrote his draft.

Got it. That must have been so much fun watching it with like 15 other hysterical writers and just like shouting random shit out. It was so great. And we have this one older writer who doesn't like Star Wars. And so he kept pitching,

like just different intervals along the way, he kept pitching, get back to the rocket ship. I like, like it was, it was the subtle jokes that got me because I mean, I'm like, I'm surrounded by fucking toys.

I'm a, I'm a, as big of a Star Wars dweeb as it gets. It's this guy where they say it looks like the Purina logo. It was like the little things where they, it wasn't even like, like you guys have like longer drawn out jokes, but it was just like,

Oh, I remember that little thing in star Wars. Like that stupid thing that like, you don't think of it. You know what it is. Like if you say, Oh, it's like the Purina logo and the guy's jacket.

Like, Oh yeah. But like, it's nothing. I mean, I don't know if you watched our last stream of new hope. It was just us relating every single moment to family guy stars. Like,

Hey, remember when family guy star Wars did this? Oh oh it's become like the most quotable thing in the world me and my brother still on probably a weekly basis will at some point be like yeah we did this already that's what's so fucked up paying by the laser you reference it every single time uh yeah what are you paying by the laser now that was a good era when we were throwing in names like terry all the time yeah that somehow made the joke funnier than a guy in the death stars named terry by the third one though you guys got like pretty fourth wall breaky and self-referential right you were like because i think i listened to the commentary of you guys doing the third one. You're like, we just fucking ran out of steam on the last one.

Yeah, Seth hated doing the last one. And so there was a lot of just his anger that spilled out into the... It was like in the crawl, I think, right? Yeah, that little purple elephant. Skip across the screen. Yeah, he'd just given up by that point. Is there any cooler person than 1980 harrison ford no no literally nobody maybe maybe 1981 harrison ford because then that's readers yeah yeah jeff you mentioned your toys I finally got some toys this week, man. My pops just picked up Bespin Home. The 40th anniversary Empire.

I got him and I got Luke for Bespin as well. I'm pretty excited about him. That's awesome. You were bragging on it too much. I had to pick up some toys. I watched the... I'd never seen I was, I watched the,

I'd never seen the star Wars version of the toys that made us like, at least I'd seen half it, not the whole way through. Cause it's very similar to like the main star Wars toys documentary. But I, I, I again had to look at that stupid toy that I almost bought that the snaggle tooth of moon boots.

I was like, God, God, I'm going to get that one day. It's the dumbest toy. Like George just getting so mad about a toyooth with moon boots. I was like, God, I'm going to get that one day. It's the dumbest toy. George just getting so mad about a toy having moon boots. This is John Ratzenberger, right? In this scene?

Yeah. No. Where is he? Is it not? No, he's not there. He's in one of these, but that's not him. Yeah, but he's in Hoth, right? Yeah, I's not there. He's in one of these, but that's not him. Yeah, but he's in Hoth, right? Yeah, I feel like maybe.

It's weird. He's in Superman 2 as the NASA crew, so I get that confused with this sometimes. That guy's a good luck charm for a movie. Yeah, really. Wow. Okay, so he's when Leia has the meeting it looks like boy the first time you see him get this lightsaber was like just an electric experience

oh yeah especially because this is the first time the force has ever used like that like it's like an actual thing. Before it was just like good luck. Do people have as much of a problem back then with this or do people

just take it as what it was and not care as much? I think they felt like this was an appropriate use of force move telekinesis as opposed to everything flying all over the place. Imagine if instead of this, he looked like Attack of the Clones Yoda,

where he just started fucking bouncing around at the lightsaber immediately. I always thought that looked like a smiley face, the end of his lightsaber there. That's all I saw. That's all I still see. That is one of those things where if you see it as a kid, like it'll stick with you for the rest of your life.

That's it. It's all I ever saw. This poor wampa. Just like, the fuck is that guy doing? One of the good special edition changes, by the way. Yeah.

Showing him standing up like that was in the preview. I remember. Me and Robbie say that if Empire came out today with the jaded internet, everyone would have ripped this movie. Oh, now we can do this with the Force? Empire would get ripped on Reddit nonstop just because that's how

we are now. Oh my God, it would have been, they've ruined Yoda's character by having him be a recluse in this movie. By the way, my two-year-old son just watched his first Taste of Jedi just now, or Empire. He woke up, he didn't know what the fuck was going on. He saw a wampa and a snowman and just went to bed. He's like, nah, it's too much for me.

Too much for me good day anthony daniels lucky dude yeah again i respect him just going all in and like doing literally anything star wars has ever asked him to do ever like if they asked him like hey just be the permanent in resident guy galaxy says i'm sure you'd say yes but man does he just seem annoying that's right i forgot it i forgot it was cookie monster the womp was there any characters that were like really i know the return of the jedi because again you guys referenced it but were there any that were really tough connects to make for who to put in what roles what's funny i think when we originally started talking about it like i had a different take on whatever i think i sort of had chris as han and peter as luke and it was all different

like just my in my first thoughts of it. And Steph had a very clear plan. He was like, no, no, no. Peter's hot. And he was right. Of course.

But I think that, you know, we tried to stick in the characters that were funny and the ones that aren't as funny. We were just like, fuck them. Yeah. The spots you found for Meg and all three were so fucking funny.

Perfect. There he is. Yep. Okay. That's a much more prominent mustache. That is my mistake. Yeah. I always wanted one of those full head hats that they had, too.

I don't know why, but they are a massive improvement over the Egghead Rebel hats. So cool. I think you and me, Robbie, almost bought the $400 Hoth jumpsuit when it came out that one time. I still wish I pulled the trigger. The generic Hoth

action figure was just a ripped beast from the power of the forest line from the nineties line. This guy's a linebacker. Look at this physique. That was huge. He built everyone like, like a linebacker in that series.

Yeah, he does. He's got like a goatee going. Here's a work character. Try to think of what i would this movie might have the best special edition changes to it because there weren't many and they were subtle but they just added to the it was like it made it more expansive the wampa adding the windows to cloud city you can see outside right well it's the only one without like an egregious one right because return of the jedi they put another vader no in there i knew hope they did the han shot first thing

this one george was like i don't know maybe put a door on the back obi-wan is so disappointed in lu right now. That look on his face. We've all had that look. That look. You fucking asshole. I've worn my scarf on the outside of a winter coat because of Han on Hoth. And I'll tell you what, I do not pull it off quite like Harrison Ford. It's a lot of questions.

It's a lot of why. It's a lot of, why are you wearing your scarf in the outside of your coat? I have never noticed that. I love the stop motion. Yeah. I was super into stop motion as a kid. Like I uploaded like my Lego stop motion movies to YouTube and everything. As a kid on YouTube. Oh my God. Oh yeah. That's, that is a wild. Yeah.

So you were a kid in two, like six years old. Yeah. Yeah. I, uh, I brought this movie or second, second grade. Yeah. Second grade. We, we all could bring a movie in. Yeah. Just keep requesting the time. I'll throw it up, but I'll put all could bring a movie in. Yeah, just keep requesting the time. I'll throw it up, but I'll put it down after a few seconds. We all could bring a movie in on Fridays, and one kid each week would watch one. And I brought an Empire because, I mean, it had just been re-released. I just became a fan, and my teacher turned it off when he cut open the Tanta.

She was like, no. It's a traumatic moment. And my dad was like, like yeah some of the kids might not have liked it it is a dark movie for seven-year-olds but still a bad move by a teacher it's like yeah the kids wrapped for two hours just take it yeah and like cobra sky for the 50th time no chance my my mom gave me like a backup movie either. It was just Empire and Go to School. So I don't remember what we did. I don't have that memory. I want to go back to that though real quick, Alec,

because in the Family Guy version, obviously that's like top three. Just a little scene for me is when peter does the like what's the what's the line with like because obviously you guys have done that so well with just taking shit so far like what's the happy medium i guess it's just like a gut feeling of like yeah that's right where it's funny and okay this is like too far yeah it's it's all about that it's all like it got and also with this again we had a very full room so if things like that were pitched and you hear a lot of laughter that's kind of the ultimate deciding factor yeah you know if you're making the other guys laugh. This guy is so pleased with himself, by the way.

He is. Yeah. Which, like, I mean, all things considered, just flew around. Yeah. But he's also saying, he's like, they're going to fucking remember me for this forever. I'm going to tell that story. You know, right now, wherever he is, he's like, Han and Luke, I fucking saved them. He's like a guy wearing that varsity jacket after high school he just he just says that to everyone at a party like hey who found

han and luke i found them repeat i've found them luke and his diaper yeah weird so weird super like perfect and star warsy though for you to be like what a strange thing they do in space and then of course they try to call it back in the new ones and it was just idiotic I would get so sick if I was a rebel because like you're going from

like this jungle planet on Yavin to immediately Hoth like just constant temperature changes if you're a rebel I'd get the allergies I'd be so sick all the time god his hair is so good in this one so good come on it's it's like that's that it's floating on his head it's so light and airy and i picture on set like hair and makeup walking up to him being like harrison let's do your hair and him him being like, no, no, and brushing him aside.

He just wakes up like that, you know? He's that cool. Hair across the board looking good here. Yeah. Yeah. Leia's strongest hair game is probably Emperor. I think this is Leia's strongest look. Hot take. I know this

Leia's beloved, but Snow Bunny Leia is good. Mm-hmm. Yeah, Slave Leia that's like, I mean that's like you're just not trying, right? Yeah. Bunch of Star Wars fans watching Slave Leia that's just, it's explosive.

That is, by the way Luke thought he was up 28 to 3 with that look on his head. He gave it with the double hands behind the head. This actor pops up in a lot of stuff and he's actually British. Weirdly. I didn't know that. That is actually,

so I didn't know it. That is weird because this movie, like I feel like everyone does their accent for the most part. Yeah. No, this guy's British. He's in like a couple of, uh,

I think he's in a faulty towers and he's in the old men. Do you guys ever see an actor in something and you're like, they're great. I would love them to do a voice and family guy and like just an obscure actor and an old thing. And you get them. That does weirdly happen. Like I recently was watching a house of cards. There's an actor in that who's kind of like a smaller actor. I'm like,

we got to get that guy for a voice and we got them. Oh shit. Cool. Have you guys been writing through coronavirus doing like zoom writers rooms we have been yeah huh yeah it's been actually fine it's been fun if anything it's everything way more efficient yeah where i think i think all was going to relate we have fairly i don't want to say easy we're lucky that we can do our job yeah without much disruption i know well this is you guys doing your job so how fun is that yeah i know i'll plug we have an interview dropping tomorrow ken jack and i talked to jeffrey dean Dean Morgan today for a little while. That's awesome. So tune into LCB later in the week for that.

Very cool guy. He's sitting in a room with like a bunch of like, I don't know, it was like antlers and stuff in the background and like a washboard in the back and he's like on a farm. It was very intimidating. It has been interesting to see everybody's backgrounds, like what is behind them on Zoom. My favorite was when i interviewed jim ross he literally just had fucking shit tons of barbecue sauce behind him

it was barbecue sauce as far as the eye could see well it's awesome dave had a funny tweet yesterday about john elway um about the draft that john elway did like a virtual zoom background and it made him look like a hologram from Star Wars. But I, I I'm wondering if that's going to be like that at the draft that they're going to like, like if they're all going to have those backgrounds,

they're all going to look like shit because they're going to be on. Cause zoom, like I hope it looks as bad as possible. The way it does, because it manipulates the background and the picture. Oh my God. We all know that the guy who leads the ground attack is Grandmeister

Paizel from Game of Thrones. Okay. No, I did not know that. I was so late to the Thrones train too. Right. That was the worst. I got on Thrones literally. I might have jinxed it as soon as it got bad did jinx you son of a bitch

there's a lot of workplace tension on the death star you do get that sense oh my god yeah we were talking about the no railings line and how it is something that we all just would always think about and then like once it gets you know know, given that, you know, visualization and a family guy, we just couldn't stop laughing at it. It seems like a huge oversight. Tremendous architectural oversight. Oh, and another super quoted line that me and Jeff have thrown around is the, uh, from blue harvest Stewie gone.

Oh, let's get estimates. Let's get estimates. Let's get estimates. Yeah, that was fun. I was the voice of the guy getting choked. Oh, really? Oh, shit. The what he called the guy who was railing out Vader about the was it the California real estate?

Yeah. There's nothing to do downtown. There's nothing to do downtown. There's nothing to do downtown. That's so cool. What a great battle this is. Star Wars has always been amazing throughout all of their movies in the gearing up for battle scenes. Totally. You know,

some shit's about to go down. This one's just different too, with it being at the beginning, you know? Oh yeah. But it's not the near the end. You're like, ah,

shit's coming to a close. This is like, George fucking walks his dick on the table. Check out the budget for this one. Motherfuckers. I'm going to do it on top and have it be all white. Yeah. Just having to battle with the all-white background is crazy.

And all-white actors. I think that that kind of messed me up. I don't know about you guys, but with Lost Jedi, Empire, I think subconsciouslyly with it being the middle I was already going into it comparing 8 to Empire like when you have all

those previews with everything in the Battle of Crait and then it's like the last fucking thing and then you know what I mean just in my mind I was like wait that's supposed to come before just because of Empire I think that kind of with the static on his TV. I know. Even he can't get the reception.

And this is also, like, at what point do Vader's powers stop if he can choke someone through FaceTime? Right. For sure. Piet. Piet lasts a long time, by the way. He lasts up until he just gets killed in battle. Like you got to think about the gap between these two movies too.

He does a pretty damn good job of, he never really pisses Vader off. Yeah. Yeah. He's, he was a good, yes, man.

That's now, that's the Star Wars anthology movie. I would love to see is just like one of the higher-ups that had to keep vader happy yeah it just seems generally bad to work for the empire not not even just for the moral great to work for the rebels either the conditions on both sides but like the moral implications aside like yeah you're doing bad stuff on with your on the empire's team but also it's just bad working conditions yeah but you can put a lot away for your college fund that's true you know they've got insurance the imperial academy

yeah they give you a space corvette when you sign up for the imperial academy I love their battleship type boards. I have no idea what they could be staring at on those things. See, I mean, yeah, the big titty. Look, I mean, like, I don't know if people called and said that you guys, it was low-hanging fruit, but giant boom nipple gun is just about the only way. It's the only joke you make. It kills me every time there's no backup joke for that no the fruit is edible

a bit of a premature celebration there. Yeah, yeah. Oh, here we go. This was by far the best level in the Chuck E. Cheese Star Wars arcade game. You want to talk about eclectic references. This is also the scene in this is the opening part of Shadows of the Empire. Oh yeah, I forgot about that.

Hey guys, Dax says it's not that one. They redo the Battle of Hoth? In Shadows of the Empire? Yeah. I'll tell you what, when you're a young Going off? In Shaz the Empire? Yeah. Oh, yeah. I'll tell you what. When you're a young stupid kid like me and it takes you a while to figure out you've got to take them down with tow cables too, you can't just shoot the things.

What a little dope. Young Jeff really D-low us. Went to my parents' house, picked it up. Oh, hell yeah. Oh my God. We're about to go down memory lane with the kids. Oh, shit. What was that? Did you screen that, Clem?

Clem, show it again. We got Shadows of the Empire. Nice. Can you blow into it into the mic for old time's sake? Nice. Wow. yeah robot camels is a pretty that was that was one of the better ones too which one would your is there do you have a favorite of the three well i mean i think i would have to say the first one it was just such a fun experience overall but i do think the second

one like when watching it as a viewer like not bringing my own personal experiences into it is like so funny this one uh i thought kirker did a great job and just all the jokes worked i think we really kind of got it for the second one easier yeah did you did you hold back at all in the first one no no because i didn't at the time we had no idea that we were going to do all three um in fact i was given the task of writing it just for as a half hour and as i was writing it i kept telling my boss at the time david goodman i'm like this is an hour long david he's like no no don't do it he's got that voice and uh he sounds like ray romano then seth got the script he sounds like Ray Romano.

Then Seth got the script. He's like, this is an hour long. And David's like, yes. So. Yeah. But I mean,

the first joke in that one was the, besides the crawl, like the Bush Cheney sticker on the. Yeah. So you're going, you're going right in. It's true. You got to get granular with it do you have a favorite just overall family guy that you've worked on

or is it like tough because you've worked on a trillion at this point yeah i've worked on a lot i mean i liked the first episode that i wrote was called uh ptv it was in season four which that was just so fun again because it was like the first time working on we're getting a script and it was just a lot of fun to work on but recently i really like we had a sherlock holmes one that was very fun to work on. Just a little different. You know, the whodunit episode you guys did is on TV all the time. And I find myself watching that every single time I come across it. It's like a legitimately good whodunit. Seth, that's Seth's favorite episode. That makes sense. And then there were fewer. Oh, good old Wedge.

Another phenomenal stop motion scene. Yep. Great matte painting. Yeah. Now Wedge is going to bail it out of there so he can survive another movie. Exactly. He's like, I'm going to pick up that episode nine check two i wonder who the wedge of the new trilogy will be that we hear 10 years down the line just start shitting on the movies hates him telling their their their uh nephews to not do the movies like he told yeah oh i didn't know that ewan mcgregor is wedge's nephew

i believe i have that right but yeah and he told him to not do the movies i wonder if family parties got awkward after ewan mcor became Ewan McGregor, where he was like, oh, I just didn't get work after Star Wars because I wasn't Ewan McGregor. Right. Who do you think was the bigger Star Wars fan between you and Seth? That's tough to say. I mean, I think I'm kind of like more of a movie guy than he is. Like, he doesn't

re-watch stuff I think the way I do. I know that's however the one franchise that he's way into. I mean, I love Marvel and The Godfather and all that you know just like everything and he doesn't care for any of that shit he just likes star wars

because he's like really knowledgeable in star trek and all and i think some other things i've seen him just seem to have a good decent at least knowledge basin you know right yeah he's got star trek for sure um but the end like twilight zone and things like that he loves we have a prequel parody alec now people ask that and it's funny now that the new movies have come out and sucked so bad, doing the prequels doesn't seem that bad an idea. So I would love to do that, and who knows? But you know what? Now that Disney owns all of us, we can't even talk about Star Wars on Family Guy anymore.

They won't let us. Wow. So it's crazy. It was easier before. Yeah, interesting. Much easier. I think the other thing, too, is, though, and this has always been kind of my thing, like, while I would love to see it, like, you don't make fun of bad things in this. You just kind of make fun of the time period, right?

Like, there's little things that, again, it's like the patch or random shit that doesn't make sense because it's just when the movie was made. And those, Jar Jar's just a dumb character. Yeah, it's like a hat on a hat. But also, if we do make fun of these movies, the first three, everyone would know that, yes, we're making fun of it, but we also acknowledge that they're awesome. Yeah. Which we couldn't really do with Attack of the Clones. Could you imagine

you trying to do that with the sequels, with the fucking online discourse between those movies? Oh my god. Damn, man. Yeah. You would find a different profession. You'd be like, ah, fuck this. Yeah, forget it. I always thought this was so badass, and still do, by the way.

Luke just taking it upon himself, going on ground. Come on. Awesome. Also, a good way to show that he's no longer the farm boy from A New Hope. He's learned some shit in the past few years. I always felt bad for that guy so close there aren't many dak prescott jokes that make that make reference to that dak who dies whenever he comes up short like late in the game but i appreciate

a few that are out there because they are they you know when this quarantine is over and we get back to work i would love to try to turn our green screen room into a room where we blow miniatures up and shoot them to scale and try to put them in a fan film or something. I mean, we have the resources. Why can't we do that shit? I'm watching the shit and I'm getting like, I've never felt the pyrotechnic itch in my life, but now I'm like, let's blow some shit up.

You gotta find the miniature builders, though. That's the task. No, we could just take like Star wars toys we buy a 20 x-ray from walmart we blow it up and then we film us in the cockpit you gotta wait for buddha ben to come back though he has to be the camera guy for that yeah you're right you're right i'm shooting that Buddha Ben painting for $420. I told him that was the way I would celebrate.

It was like my present to him. You guys have a fun time casting Porkins. Yes. No, Porkins, yes. I mean, you got to pick Glenny Balls. I mean, that's just... Yeah, true. I'll have to pull up the Glenny Balls Darth Maul picture in a minute.

Oh, God. I might make that my phone background, just to make me smile every time I boot up my phone. That came at the perfect time when this quarantine started becoming real, and it eased the pain of the slow descent into madness that we've gone into it was always very frustrating for me that the falcon can't get to light speed until so late in the movie but it was good it really does help the movie but it's so frustrating light speed like moves at the speed of plot yes yes there's a uh so one of the deleted scenes here if you've never seen it it's

it's worth checking out is 3po puts like a fake like wampa sticker on or he like removes a wampa warning sticker on one of the doors and one of the snow troopers goes in the door and gets attacked by the wampa before they board the falcon It actually is like a funny one where that's something where it's like if you put that in a Disney Plus version, that's something I think people would be down with. Yeah, it's one of the deleted – you can find it. It may actually be on – I forget if the Disney Plus things, do they have deleted scenes? I forget. I don't think they do.

Yeah, I don't feel like they do either. I haven't really searched. It's on YouTube. I'm excited for this Mandalorian series they're doing. The behind the scenes, like eight episode. Every episode is about a different aspect of the show. That'll be sick. When does that come out?

I'm not sure. I think they just announced it, so I can't imagine it. No, it's in a few weeks. Oh, is it? They also announced pre-production on season three of Mandalorian already. announced it so I can't imagine it's No, it's in a few weeks. Oh, is it? Yeah, like two weeks. Holy shit. Pre-production on season three of Mandalorian already. Yeah, you had to expect that.

Oh my god. Which, that just, that confirms that and we heard in an interview recently too, which was like a breath of fresh air and like a calming, yeah yeah it's going it's all right duh it's on may the 4th i don't know why i didn't know that it's embarrassing

uh the uh that mandalorian is going to be released on time in the fall they're not going to have any delays because uh uh covid so it sounds like they're good to go i heard that alec were you a a Mandalorian fan? Oh, God, yeah. What a great shot this is, by the way. Oh. That going to... Yeah, that's one of the best, period, in the whole series. Yeah.

Oh, so good. The Asteroid Field music is maybe my favorite individual piece of music from these movies. There are a couple of nominees, but it's so good. I went with Seth to a John Williams concert at the Hollywood Bowl. And of course, Seth being Seth got to go back and meet him after. So I like brought a copied version of the Asteroid Field music sheet with me. And then I just didn't have the balls to ask him to sign it.

Oh, man. He was kind of like old and grumpy afterwards. Yeah, it just didn't feel right. That's such a creative thing to bring to get signed, though. I know, and I really wanted to show it for him and show up like, huh, right? I like the right thing, right? But it was just a bad

scene it was really crowded and he seemed very old so when i a few years ago this is i think 2012 kevin smith did a signing at his comic book store in jersey and i waited online like seven hours with my mom because it's new jersey so everyone shows up to me kevin smith and i had a copy of the superman returns or the superman lives script that he had written that Tim Burton shut down. Because I heard from the original evening with Kevin Smith that he put out that he signs it, fuck Tim Burton. So I gave it to him and he looked at it and he laughed. And he was like, hey, what's your name? And told him he signed it to Robbie, fuck Tim Burton.

Kevin Smith immediately gave it back. I was like, yes, I'll tweet a picture of it. That is awesome. Anyone that's watching, yeah. But I still have that, and that's like one of my favorite little, I guess, keepsakes because it is a unique thing. The shot of the spinning TIE fighter off the asteroid is awesome. And the sound.

Oh. By the way, great sound. Oh, shit. My screen. Great sound is the seismic charges in space in a telephone. Oh, yeah. Incredible. So cool.

We talked about that when we did the watch along. We were like, all right, this scene will give some props, though. Oh. Makes almost zero sense seismic charges in the vacuum of space but such an incredible sound great great sound and they also the monsters in that gladiator pit had one of them had an amazing roar that was like an echo in their mouth oh that's awesome nice i i i can't you can't bring up death the super uh superman lives without me telling people to make sure they watch a documentary i saw it too one of the best documentaries there is it is

fascinating so awesome the fucking wild wild west story and that is one of my favorite john peters is just and and the john peters story just keeps going because he was the fucking guy that Pamela Anderson married this year. And then like, he paid off all her debt and he divorced her two days later and tried to be like, yeah, uh, she didn't quit. I fired her. God. Kevin Smith telling that story and talking about, uh, reading his pitch to John Peters. And eventually Peter's just like, hold on, hold on. Who the fuck is Kal-El?

Yeah. So he had to read it to him, right? Yeah. That's, that's apparently the Peters thing is you show up to his house and he, he lies down on his couch. He looks at the ceiling like he's looking at a movie and he's like, all right, go. Here.

Since you're showing cool signed shit, I'll show this, see if I can get it on here. That's George Lucas signed that. Oh, that's awesome. Wow. I mean, that's a bit cooler than mine, yeah. It looks like Carl Lewis. It looks like Carl Lewis, but it's actually George Lucas.

I'll go fuck myself, thanks. George just signs his things as Carl Lewis. Yeah, that would be great. Was it Carl Lewis that did that national anthem that we roasted? That was so funny. One of the funniest things ever, yeah. And the Rockets red glass! Uh-oh.

Uh-oh. tab calloway does a terrible national anthem too if you want to look at that on youtube he's he's the guy who sings heidi heidi heidi hi but he was like 85 years old and they asked him to do the national anthem and it was really bad my personal favorite butchered uh patriotic song is not actually the national anthem it's america the beautiful and it's from the dx band at wrestlemania 14 they have since edited the performance out of the show on the wwe network because the crowd booed it so heavily this is another one of my favorite bits from the movie is when he shoots the ground and just keeps shooting it over and over and over again and just wait a minute who did you uh wait who did you voice i've heard i don't think i asked you who did you voice in the second one i can't remember i i always end up doing a few little voices here and there um i don't remember in the second one who i was i know i was somebody maybe a couple how often

would you say if we're watching a random episode of family guy comes on TBS, you're doing a voice in it. I would say, you know, if it's from season four through season now, I guess there's probably like a 50-50 chance I'll be in it. I always think that now when I'm watching Family Guy, I'm always like, I wonder if Alec is one of these random people. Yeah, I'm Jesus. It's just my normal voice. It's not changed at all i remember what was i watching is the rapture episode of american dad and there's a scene like where they have jesus in it and he talks and like i'm 99 sure is will forte and it was and he maybe

had three lines of dialogue but will forte's voice is just so distinct that I'm like, I know it's him. I love him. I just found out he's in that new Scooby-Doo, right? Scoob! I think he's, yeah, he's shaggy, I'm pretty sure. Scoob! But also for a very brief time period, Scoob was an acronym. And then they didn't make it an acronym. And for the rest of my life, we'll never know what it was supposed to stand for and that will that will always kill never revealed it oh

my god you need that needs to become like the new lcb goal you need to make a documentary on what scoob stood just i'm actually excited for that i'm kind of happy it's going on streaming it's got a lot of you i texted my sister i was like i was i loved fucking scooby-doo when i was good like i'm not like a big like. I don't check that out. I'm not a big... I don't know the lore of Hanna-Barbera. I do Marvel, but I watched those shows growing up. So to have all those characters

intertwined, it's kind of cool. I like the James Gunn Scooby-Doo movies too. Vader's gross boiled egg head here. Alec, are you a fan of Flintstones Viva Rock Vegas?

I didn't see it. Oh, you missed it. I mean, it was like 1995, but you missed it, man. I did miss it. I was okay missing it. Definitely wanted to check out. I love movies from that era. I love movies from that era.

I love movies from that era. What do you think Vader does when he takes his helmet off? I don't know. Why is he doing that? He is pissed there, though. That's one of the most pissed moments he has. You know when he shuts that thing? He's like, you motherfucker.

Maybe he was brushing his teeth. Could be. You definitely have to air that thing he's like you mother fuck maybe he was maybe he was brushing his teeth could be you definitely have to air that thing out and when he takes that helmet off it just smells like backshot air just smells like pure shit oh god yeah stuck in the leather dude he's got to have more than one vader suit right do you think he ever tried out a tan suit like Obama and everyone on the Death Star is like, uh-uh. Did you guys like it? You said you liked it. Happy Easter. That's one of my favorite bits

from Family Guy 2 when they have Darth Vader. You guys had Darth Vader. It's just his helmet and he's a regular guy. In the shower. Yeah. He doesn't take the helmet off, but then he's in the shower with it. That was great.

Yeah, that was funny. That was John Viner, one of our writers, did that voice. It was really funny. You have a pretty frigging good memory to know all of this stuff through doing so many seasons of family guy what do you want season 18 now season 19 like up there yeah we're i think we're writing season 19 and we're airing i think only season 17 is airing now the end getting towards the end of it but we're already like that far ahead were you guys supposed to do comic-con this year yeah i'm so happy that it's canceled i texted one of the other guys who has to go with me

like five days ago i'm like hey i just realized there's no way they're gonna have comic-con and then the next day they announced no Comic-Con and we were like texting gifs of dancing people. Dude, we've applied for credentials literally for the past three, four years, I guess three years now. And this was the first year they ever said yes.

So I, I was pumped to go to star Wars celebration for Mando stuff. And now it's just, cause I didn't go last year because Robbie and Ken Jack went. I had a wedding, and I was – and because it's in Anaheim again, so I'm going to have to go see Star Wars Land. Nope. Nope. They haven't canceled it yet, but, I mean, it's canceled.

That's done so. That ain't happening. Maybe they just push it? Would they push it or no? Because they wouldn't have anything to promote then. They'll push it to next year, probably. Yeah. Yoda's about to steal Luke's taquitos. Yoda is so goddamn

cute in this movie and is way less cute in the CG prequels. Yoda's just business. Yeah, he's business. And every sentence is backwards in the exact same structure in the prequels.

Yeah. There he is. What is that? It's like a little sausage link. It's a taquito. Like Yoda. It's hilarious. It's one a little sausage link. It's a taquito. La Chioda is hilarious. It's one of only like, I mention all the time, it's one of like maybe one or two moments where they actually eat in Star

War in the original trilogy. Someone eats something. It's a bento box of like little snacks. That's like that lunchbox you tried to fund on Kickstarter that they never sent you. Oh, I funded it. It didn't mean I got it though. I don't have that lunchbox you tried to fund on Kickstarter that they never sent you. Oh, I funded it. It didn't mean I got it, though. I don't have the lunchbox.

I always thought it was one of those Nature Valley granola bars, you know, with all the crumbs that you open up. Just everywhere. Oh, God, yeah. They taste so good. They're just so frustrating. You guys are probably too young to remember Stelladoro breakfast treats, but that's what it looked like to me. Oh, now I have to look it up.

I don't know what that is. I'm over the means, guys. I'm with you on that. Oh, thank you very much. Stelladoro. I believe they call it a space torch. Yoda's fighting ability. Which is such a fuck you way to say flashlight, George. I know.

I hate that I know what these are, but the name didn't ring a bell because they also make those little fudge circle cookies. A little. Oh, okay. I know. Frank Oz, by the way, definitely a dream interview.

Oh, yeah. What voice would you have him do um miss Piggy Yoda and animal were the first two that came to mind right away I've got animal on my arm not for me but for my brother where is it Oh he's a drummer but I probably haven't haven't do some some kind of animal thing i've got a i've got a cousin who has a baby that's now super into animal which is the objectively the worst muppet to have your child into because then you need to buy him a drum kit right

but she gets a fucking kick out of that tattoo. So I'm like the favorite, you know, quote unquote uncle, which I love. Kids love all my tattoos. Like I'll be standing on the subway and kids will point to like Batman. And I'm like, yeah. There you go. I was such a dick when I saw Knives Out because no one in my theater really reacted to Frank Oz. And I like loudly went like, oh. I was like, oh.

And I like didn't like that no one reacted. And I'm an ass. Like this is just me being a Star Wars ass. So loudly went like oh I was like oh and I I like didn't like the reaction and I'm an ass like this is just me being a Star Wars ass I went oh Yoda because he's like I had to do it I was like oh my god like Frank God are you kidding me we have a family guy coming up I think maybe next year where Peter has the Muppet Show theme stuck in his head and so he starts singing it at the bar and everybody joins along. So we do our version of the Muppet Show theme. And then at the end he says, how did that get in my head? And then we cut to a van going backward off the cliff,

off the bridge in slow motion. And they're all inside listening to the Muppet Show theme. Oh my God. That's funny. I also need to watch uh little shop of horrors because i never saw that a friend literally just recommended it to me and they were like dude don't you like frank oz it was like yeah and they were like well you can't really say you like frank oz if you've never seen that i was like all right fair did he do the what he didn't do the plant no he directed it oh i didn't know that. Yeah. Oh, my. Oh, my stars.

We read a Frank Oz story recently on the show. Who was it about, Ken Jack? What was the story? You guys read a wild story about Tom Hanks last week. That was pretty amazing. I see some heads shaking. Yeah. I mean, that was just insane. Oh, my God.

And of course, it was from White Sox, Dave. I've heard a lot of shit about that, weirdly, out here. Yeah? Yeah. Oh, wow. I had heard about it before then, and then weird people who never aren't really Barstool people talked to me after, like, did you see that Tom Hanks thing on Barstool? That's so weird.

Yeah. It's like in White Sox, Dave. White Sox are representative to a whole bunch of people. He might be too close to the flame. Oh, this is a great edit. When they improved the Emperor's hologram in this movie, too. Oh, right. That's a really good one, yeah. He looks like a claym this movie too oh right it's not the really good one yeah

he looks like a claymation thing in the first one in the first one yeah he looks like something out of Goonies oh yeah Frank Oz apparently Tim Tim Brando the fuck is I said I did it again the basketball announcer Marlon Brando wouldn't let

Frank Oz direct his scenes in a movie unless he talked like Miss Piggy and so De Niro had to step in Oz direct his scenes in a movie unless he talked like Miss Piggy. And so De Niro had to step in and direct the scene. There you go. It's incredible. What movie? What movie did Frank Oz, Robert De Niro? Yeah, the score.

Wait, were you guys on the Emperor's CG when you said that a minute ago? No. I just knew it was coming up. Okay, good. I was like like you're way ahead of me then no it just got to it okay ever since we started doing these things i always freak out from the jump when the little circle is spinning i'm like oh god everyone's getting ahead of me right now i'm so i was i was thinking the same thing in a quiet, panicked state instead of asking. I'm right in the same area. You know what's a great family guy moment that I love is when Peter

says how he loves when they say the title of the movie in a movie. I pitched that joke. Can I tell you? I have to take credit. I pitched that joke. I love that in movies. Yes! It makes me excited. Love it. And that's become the love that in movies like i like it makes me excited love it yeah and that's become like the gif of the the ostrich in the theater every time is like oh he said it yeah and now

that's why i'm superman for the quest for peace right was that it right yeah he said it he said oh i love that joke so much i reference it non-stop whenever they mention the name of the movie like even we're just talking about knives out when he says y'all a bunch of vultures knives out and i'm like hey knives out he said it he got it in at the end of the movie it's always the best when they get at the end of the movie oh it's always the best at the end i am queen's boulevard this is the uh i don't want to screen share, but it was like a mask and then it was this mask for the Emperor before they replaced it

in the special editions. And it was also a chimpanzee was involved. So that's why the original Emperor in this scene looked all fucked up. Weird. By the way, my issue with this is that the Jedi have a terrible retirement plan.

All of them. All of them. Yeah. Yeah. Obi-Wan's living in a... Luke. They're all fucked at the end of their lives. They're like, they could make another Irishman out of just, look, it's not a good lifestyle.

We glorified it, but for the wrong reasons. I don't know. If I ever get super rich, I i'm definitely gonna build or have someone build a custom dog house that looks like yoda's hut for my dogs i was convinced that episode eight and nine that was going to be the big takeaway is the jedi kind of fucked up and that's not the way to go either it's the extreme the other way and that didn't happen at all well that's kind of what luke wanted did not think it'd make this a last jedi thing that's kind of what he was getting at yeah god that was so stupid oh my god and with all the tree and i don't want to burn it you burned it wait i was gonna break like what what that was

because i personally like i see i like the last Jedi. I like that they tried to move it. I don't think The Jedi for nine movies is, like, you got to change it up a little bit, which is why I like Ahsoka in The Clone Wars because she's just, and she's been different, even though I didn't like her arc in the middle of the season. It's like, you got to have a little deviation from just the, for nine movies, like, The Jedi do the same thing. And The Jedi are objectively in the prequels are idiots. The stupidest fucking people in those three movies. Yeah. Yeah. It's like they couldn't see Palpatine right in front of them.

But that's, that's a, that that's lack of continuity in the sequel. The sequel trilogy, that's the biggest downfall of it. So Alec, are you just out on the sequels altogether? All of them? It's funny. the prequels it's like each of the prequels even attack of the clones which i think is the worst of the three have good moments that i really like i liked revenge of the sith overall i thought it was actually good um i thought phantom menace obviously jar jar and the kid were awful and they ruined it but dar Darth Maul is awesome. That whole lightsaber battle is amazing.

The pod race was cool. There were, you know, there were some good things. I just didn't find anything really in the most recent three. I think maybe when she lightspeeds, you know, through the Imperial cruiser, like that was a good moment in the theater. Like, I like that. But then, of course, I sort of thought, like, well, why didn't they just like i i like that but then of course i sort of thought like well why didn't they just always do that as a lot of people talked about um but i just i couldn't latch on to anything in the new uh three i wanted to i came to buy i was there

opening night each time i like again i i definitely like the last and the least but i i'm a fan of them but it'll always be one of those things where you just, and I, we say, it's Kendrick. I say this all the time on our show. You, you look and it's not like Kevin Feige works across the hallway from Kathleen

Kennedy, but you look at Marvel and you're like, they did that with so many more pieces. Like why couldn't they have just been on the same fucking page for three movies? Why couldn't one person have been a constant for three movies? Like what in the world? What were they thinking?

Jesus. I should have even bring Larry David in to like dovetail some of the story. This whole sequence is one of the visually most metal things in star Wars. Awesome. When they go out with the fucking masks metal things in Star Wars. It's awesome. When they go out with the fucking masks on, I love it. That's a longer deleted scene too, but I forget what happens in it. I forget.

Didn't they, when they're doing that, right? Like, obviously they weren't moving. Like, didn't they just tell them to act, right? And they were just spinning the camera at the time you know what i'm saying yeah yeah they didn't have they no way they had like a platform for them to stand on and move like a massive one back then i remember like obviously as a little kid i'm just like oh that's what's happening and then later on when i hear that like they just had to flow they're just was like, what are you doing? Oh my god! It's not a deleted scene here. The deleted

scene in Return of the Jedi, after the sail barge, which is a very Mad Max-y, where they're in a dust storm, where they're boarding the Falcon, and they have Han's got a face covered. That would be out there being a metal scene, but that's a deleted scene. That sounds very cool. I

could see a Mad Max-style Star Wars-type thing. I guess Rise of Skywalker, they tried to do a little chase in the sand. Deleted scene. Here, I'm going to screen share the gif. The gif of han it's fucking badass actually this was part of the deleted scene oh that's cool he's got like wow that looks really cool does that snyder goggles going yeah it's it's fucking cool that looks like they could have

reused that in blade runner 2049 as a flashback. I loved that, by the way. Oh, so good. And Ana de Armas can be in anything for me. Yeah. Anything. So being today was the five perfect movies. Do you have like five? Oh, five perfect movies? Did you see that?

That was the big trend on Twitter today. It was like people, everyone is naming five movies they considered perfect. Oh, oh, well, you know what? I probably do. I mean, I would certainly put Raiders in there. That's my first reaction. I think Die Hard is perfect. There are certain movies, and you got to bear with me, like Dirty Dancing is a perfect movie. For what it's trying to do it far exceeds it it's like they executed it well i think the first i think fletch is pretty perfect oh yeah why what do you guys what did you put it up there robbie uh yeah i i i think mine, I said Empire, The Dark Knight. Good Will Hunting is one I always go back to. Whiplash is my favorite of the past few years.

What was the last one I used to round out my thing? I tweeted about The Prestige the other night. That's one of my favorite movies of all time. A friend of mine has a funny joke about the prestige. He says, uh, sex, sex with me is a series of pledges and turns with no prestige. Um,

I just looked at reservoir dogs was actually the last one. I fucking love empire strikes back. Ocean's 11, super bad back to the future and blade runner 2049. Back to the future for sure. Great. All right. Here's a question Superbad, Back to the Future, and Blade Runner 2049. Back to the Future, for sure. Great. All right, here's a question I have about Back to the Future, though, because I saw everyone putting it on theirs today, and I was so late to the party on it. The incest stuff is so strange. Is it just like if you grew up with it, is it fine?

Fair. All right, fair. You know what point taken uh yeah that was a little creepy but it's still pretty funny james gunn that was i saw his and he said back to the future was his number one that's a perfect movie and i was like the whole story is the mom trying to fuck the son is just i and i liked it listen i'm not shitting on it. I liked it, but you like that. I watched it for the first time, like a year ago. So I don't have that connection to it.

Well, we're waiting. So you just, you just gave me, bring it off about future. Did you write, were you, you have a hand in the Peter back to the future power of love thing?

Oh yeah. Yeah. That was great episode. Cause that was the one where he's got to go back and like marry lois or meet them yeah that was so fun i mean i wasn't the writer of that but i was in on that and seth pitched that great joke which was him dancing to axel f and like singing it out loud that was really funny all the different alternates uh alternate realities with lois too of her ending up with quagmire and shit so funny yes great episode in american dead too where they parodied back to the future where it's just them trying to find a delorean like like stan has no idea like

what anything about back to the future he just really wanted a delorean and his son really just thinks it's all about back to the future. Yeah, that was, and they used a character who was a guy who was like an animator on the show who actually had the out of time DeLorean or a really, yeah. And he was, I believe he was drawn as a character in that episode. Oh,

so maybe he was, I think they like, they race versus another guy and that's maybe that was him like in a door. That would make sense. I get Steve from American dad guy and maybe that was him. I think so. That would make sense. I get Steve from American Dad as a doppelganger. Yeah. Yeah, totally. Yeah.

Who's the guy that voices him? I always forget his name. He has a tremendous voice. It was McCluskey, I think, in Band of Brothers. Fuck. I always forget his name. He has such a good voice. This is the scariest scene in all of Star Wars. IMO. You mean Scott Grimes?

Yes, Scott Grimes. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. You know, it's funny. He grew up outside Boston. He's like one or two years older than I am. And growing up, there was a local talent show on TV every Sunday morning called Community Auditions that was so low rent.

But Scott Grimes was like the grand champion of that show. And he went on and you can Google it. If you Google Scott Grimes, that Whitney Houston song, you know, I believe the children are our future. Like he sings that song flawlessly as like a 13 year old with his like white blazer and red hair. It's awesome that sounds hysterical what was the name of the competition again i'm googling it now

community auditions scott grimes he was like the champion and and he sings uh whatever that winnie houston song oh my god this mop of hair he has oh I'm going to mute and watch this. It's awesome. He doesn't miss a note. This used to be the only thing in Star Wars I couldn't watch as a kid. Really? I would turn away. Specifically when

the face explodes and it's Luke's face inside. I couldn't look at that. It's pretty daunting when he comes down that hallway too. Oh yeah. In the slow motion so good holy i just i fast forwarded to the end of the song where i was like he just know he actually hits the notes right he hit the fucking notes he's like five years old what the fuck he crushed it that's incredible uh what's this? Who wrote that? This is just one of the commenters watching.

Oh, okay. You're like, who the fuck said that shit? Who said that? Where are you? John Williams is in the chat. He's letting you know. Yeah, I would have never signed your thing, man. I wouldn't doubt.

He wouldn't have. I could tell. Do you feel like the theaters popped when Darth Vader got his head cut off there? Like, people were like, we fucking did it. We beat the end game. Oh, it's like Endgame when – Thanos died, yeah. Or Infinity War, yeah, when she stabs her.

God, Infinity War was so goddamn good. Yeah. I was thinking about it today, and we we actually i guess spoilers for me and trent did the new trista like newlywed game and mine was one of his questions he had to answer about me it was my favorite marvel movie and i was like yeah it's infinity war it was so good god have you ever gone on youtube and watched uh fan reactions to thor oh yeah, yeah. I love that. Oh, yeah. I'm addicted. Absolutely addicted. Between that and then when you watch the portal

entrance, the individual character, one of the, not that he has a Marvel stream, but one of the coolest parts of seeing that movie on opening night was we saw it in an IMAX theater here in the city that has like, probably like 800 seats. It's a massive IMAX theater.

I thought the curtain call at the end of the movie that the Russo brothers put in where they show every actor who's been involved and then the signatures. The fucking standing ovation. We're clapping at a screen right now. How stupid is this? You're like, yeah, as if Downey Jr. is right there. We were like a part of something.

It was cool. You can be jealous we didn't get that with uh with nine but uh well yeah star wars rise of the avengers end game at the end there totally lando on your left i know also why not withhold lando till that moment just withhold you know wow yeah but lando was with the coolest character in all the sequels, Trotty. The Muppet in his sandcrawler on that planet.

The old Muppet lady in the front. I was like... It just goes like, okay, or something. That's the only thing. You put a Muppet in a movie, I'm going to laugh every time. So we're about to get Boba here again.

What was the thought behind not doing a big fight with – because obviously that's not what happens in the movie, but I feel like everyone assumed that when the giant chicken and Han meet, which happens later, obviously, in Cloud City, that they would have done something. But all it was was a quick one-off to laugh. Like, oh my god, the giant chicken's full of fat. Yeah. I think it was just that we felt like we needed to kind of adhere to the stories pretty closely. So, you know, we would do, obviously, a lot of jokes within that, but I think we just... And also, I feel like in an hour-long

episode, taxing the animators with a giant chicken fight would have been like kind of gritty with us because they were already working so hard on that another great line I know some maneuvers he's drifting lazily to the left we're not where we were is the giant chicken is boba fett another one of those things where like as soon as you think about that you're like okay yeah that's obviously what's going to happen where some other characters are you flipping because yoda i feel like is an interesting one where you went with chris's boss and stuff and i love that who did we go with was it uh isn't it chris's boss from the from the store yeah no we listen we were we kind of

regretted that honestly like really yeah i don't i think when we talk about carl as yoda it's kind of like uh we feels like a missed opportunity that That's H. John Benjamin, right? Yeah, and he's hilarious, but it's not that scintillating a character. You want to talk about a guy with a velvet voice? I mean, he fucking hit the jackpot after that, right? He basically, right after that, swung straight into Archer, Bob's Burgers, incredible stuff. Unbelievable. And Arby's. Arby's.

Yeah, and Arby's. Don't forget that, yeah. We have the meats. I wish I could do his voice. It Arby's. Arby's. Yeah, and Arby's. Don't forget that, yeah. We have the meats. I wish I could do his voice. It's so good. No one more disappointed in the entire Star Wars saga than Yoda here. Oh, me too.

Oh my god, he's bombed. He's a fucking asshole. That look. That's one of those things that like star wars like like the star wars story group always references with like time jumps and like no time they're like just remember like empire like like you're not supposed to care about time like empire's good example if you like empire don't worry about time and like how long it doesn't matter because it's supposed to take over a long time and i've always taken it that like they're they've been there a lot longer than

they imply because yoda's, are you shitting me? I've been here for two, three weeks, 24-7. You couldn't even lift it halfway out of the water. I actually think about it like interstellar now. In my head canon, Star Wars is like interstellar where time works differently on different planets. So they might be there for three months, but like Han and Leia might be there for two days. I love that theory. I just watched that movie again.

It's my favorite Christopher Nolan movie. I know that's kind of... I love it so much. Unbelievable Hans Zimmer score on that one. Not subtle, but I love it. Give me Matthew McConaughey Bounty Hunter in Mandalorian, by the way.

Oh, shit. That'd be amazing. Give me Matthew McConaughey and uh woody harrelson true detective but in star wars might be too much like the dark tower i don't know imperial detective i just watched true detective for the first time season one season one last week and i'm debating starting season one again everyone says season two stinks i'm not even really interested in it. Um, people said three was all right though. Is it, is it fine?

Yeah. It was good until it ended. And then you were like, what, what? I just remember. That's a bummer because I feel like the ending of season one fucking ruled. It was amazing.

Season two is more known for the memes than it is the season. It was the, the true detective season two jokes that people would make. The one shot in the middle of the season where McConaughey is acting as the cop with the meth dealers with the biker gang. They're tracking it through the, oh my God. That and also the end of the second to last episode where the guy's like, my family's been here for a long time. And you're like, holy fuck. That was so good. episode where the guy's like, my family's been here for a long time. And you're like, holy fuck! Yeah.

That was so good. Yoda. Favorite inspirational speaker of Elizabeth Holmes of Theranos. That's right. Oh. Ha ha. She has the fucking... Yep, yep, yep. The pose. The guy with the pose.

Her in the Steve Jobs clothes with the Yoda quotes behind her is like one of my favorite visuals. It's just so ridiculous. I just don't like to think about what I'm wearing every day. The fakest voice of all time. I know, it's so fake. My wife hates people with fake voices. She says, you know, their personalities haven't evolved.

It's incredible. I just don't know how she thought she would get away with that. But she apparently fucking did. She ceo of a company how i just imagine her in the meetings when they're when they're making that that product that isn't working her just like well remember do or do not there is no try it's like oh my god jesus no this is a fighter who actually takes it a step further and doesn't have a fake voice. But she was born and raised in America, speaks perfect English her entire life, no accent whatsoever. And she somehow developed a Brazilian accent through, you know, surrounding herself in jujitsu culture. She spent some time in jujitsu and she had a translator for her last fight.

So she could understand the english that she was being x it was and everyone is very confused about what's going on with this woman people are like does she just want to be brazilian people don't know what's going on her name is mackenzie davis there's mackenzie durham sorry there's very funny videos of it online it's like the fucking uh gold member scene with michaelaine and Miles Myers. Another great Seth Green role. Oh, yeah. So great.

I think that is why you fail is probably one of my favorite movie quote, though. It's a good one. With the score, too. It encapsulates the whole movie. Joey, do you have a favorite Star Wars game? I think we talked about that when we were watching Phantom Menace.

I'm pretty simple, man. Just Battlefront. Battlefront 2. Shadows of the Empire is cool, too. I think the tie-in game for Revenge of the Sith was really good, but other than that, Battlefront 2, specifically the original, has to be the best. Revenge of the Sith. revenge yeah and we talked about bounty hunter a lot too especially during

that one is for sure a lot of fun yeah you're probably going on 64 that was yeah oh that's good you ever play x-wing with a firefighter tracks and the different planets and everything that was cool to think about it as an IndyCar circuit. It's not just on Tatooine. That'd be awesome. I think me and Clem were talking about X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter, right? Yep.

I love that. Did you ever do any of those ones, Alec? I played Battlefront 2, for sure. I remember playing that a lot. I really liked that. I was way into Lord of the Rings Two Towers. That video game?

This is the third time I've talked about that. Yeah, we talked about it recently. So good. Actually, a friend from my birthday this year bought me. What did it play on? A GameCube maybe? Yeah, I think probably on GameCube. Yeah, so he got me a GameCube and that game,

so I have it hooked up in my office, which I cannot go back to. It's a shame those movies stunk as much as they did, huh? Oh, shut up, Robbie. You're not a Lord of the Rings guy, Robbie? No, I hate him. I just can't get through him. I mean, like, I have. I have watched each of them.

My problem with a rewatch of Lord of the Rings, and why I haven't watched in a while, and this sounds, this maybe sounds stupid, I don't know. I, I need to, like, I need to find a weekend just to watch them, because I know if I start, if I go through the first one, I'm gonna have to watch all three, and that is such a time commitment, and I, and I, because I

love them. I just, I gotta pick a weekend, which I guess is the best time to do. We're not going anywhere. Now is the time to do it. Extended versions, too. What's the beef? I don't know why I didn't know this. What's the beef with Lord of the Rings here? I love the chat.

Robbie, shut up. Robbie, you're so mad at me. Shake my fucking head, Robbie. This is great. I've never been, and I don't draw the line with my fantasy, with my sci-fi, whatever, but just across the board, I've never really been into the Dungeons Dragons, that element. Game of Thrones, I didn't get into till literally the last season. Always been way more into the space stuff, robot stuff whatever sure i watched lord of the rings when i was probably 12 or 13 my brother wasn't into him i didn't have any friends that were into him so i just sat alone watched him and at the end of my was like that was really boring and then uh clerks too i felt spoke from my own heart or two scenes they said even the fucking trees walked in those movies

every it's just three movies just like walk walk walk fucking third movie the volcano and then get out i don't know i just i'm not they're not for me it's a little slow i'll give you that but legolas pagan orcs is that's some badass stuff and and the amount of endings that return of the king has jesus christ yeah that's true i'll give you that one scene in Clerks 2 where they have the back and forth. It's one of the funniest scenes out of all the Clerks. It's hysterical.

That's good. Hey, you know what though? I saved that because I love them. I saved the energy for the Hobbits because I fucking hate the Hobbit movies. The Hobbit movies weren't that good yeah that was a reach i wanted to like them and actually i kind of do i i just they're not as good as the other three but too much so i have a question about those actually for people that know what they're talking about here yeah it seems like the general consensus about those movies were kind of what you guys said where

you're like oh yeah they weren't that good does lord of the rings not have a fan base as like die hard to star wars where they're like you ruined it and they're fucking pissed or they love it one way or the other or where people were just like hardcore lord of the rings fans don't even have like the internet they're like stuck at home reading the fucking similarity. My dog, by the way, is 14 years old, and he's so high maintenance at this point, he cries if I don't cover him with a blanket. So that's what I was just getting up to do there. I've got a little dog that old, too.

What kind of dog? Well, I have five dogs, but that old one is a Pekingese. Oh, nice. I have two. I used to have three. One passed away about two years ago. He was an Italian greyhound, but now I have a Yorkie and a long-haired chihuahua. The Yorkie is like four, four and a half pounds.

He's very tiny. Some yap dogs there, Robbie. I just started letting my puppy into my office today just to start roaming more and learning. Look at this great dog bed. Look at this thing. I thought you were picking up the dog. I thought you just gripped Mimosa by the back of the neck. Yeah.

She just stares at me. It's like cats, man. It's crazy. She's like, it's too comfortable. So I was like, God damn it. Cloud City looks good. Cloud City is beautiful. The Cloud City cars, that's a really good example of what I was talking about, I think, where these are easy because, like, you made fun of the fact, like, it's stupid.

It's like two guys driving a thing, like, who has control. It's like stupid in a way where it's like, again, Jar Jar stepping in poop. But, like, it's just funny to make fun of because it's just whatever it's space right cloud city cars are two side cars they take the lame part of the motorcycle it always makes me it reminds me though of the scene from uh what's the last crusade because that's one of my favorite sidecar scenes is that part with uh indian and uh professor jones so good i always think the 66 batman with burt ward on the little fucking sidecar i forgot what they call it i think they call it like the the score from that scene in india i think it's like scherzo for motorcycles

or something also one of the best somebody brought that up that's another great piece of music thank you i think scherzo Jack's Spotify is like full of just John Williams. He just listens to that all day. My most played artist. He's in an abandoned festival tent. No, I'm not. I'm not in an abandoned festival tent.

I'm in a 24-year-old's bedroom. That's why it has the lights things that got left over from the dorm room. He went to a Coachella and then COVID hit and now he's stuck there until next year. They're roasting your lights on the wall. Yeah, they said they're left over from Coachella. Stage coach, the country one.

Imagine going out with Harrison Ford and Billy Dee Williams in 1980 after a day on this set, just hanging out in that crew, not even doing anything crazy. Just, just hanging out, having a few beers at the bar, going home.

So awesome. The Lando original Kenner figure is, I think maybe my favorite one. He's such a fucking bad-ass. He's got the cake. Incredible. He just got swagger, this action figure.

I would like to do a cosplay of a Kenner figure at Celebration and wear one of those weird plastic capes. That's a funny idea. Yeah. See, now I'm just sad because that didn't happen in this year. That's a great idea. I would have totally done that. So sad.

We'll do it up big for the next one. Someone just mentioned that my... Maybe I'll finally build a protocol droid outfit for my tiny arms. Someone just mentioned that my Spotify is John Williams and Sea Shanties, which is unfortunately true. My number one most played artist is John Williams by a huge margin, and then it is a lot of Sea Shanties from that one period where that was a meme. That's right. That was funny. They're just catchy, man.

What do you do with a drunken sailor? I don't know. Songton, tell me. We will point out when Will Rowhood pops up. The guy carrying the ice cream. Don't worry. You don't know the guy who carries the ice cream machine in this scene

no we'll point it out dude when that it's crazy me and my dad it was yeah one of the wildest things we saw the whole weekend was that crew of people

you'll see someone run in the background and he he's holding an ice cream maker for no apparent reason whatsoever a real ice cream maker and it's become a thing of lore in star wars where his wookieepedia page is as long as anyone else in the franchise and every year at celebration there will be uh they call it the run of the hoods and uh like i don't know 100 200 people will dress up as this guy and they just run around chanting ice cream it's strange and and dave filoni and john favreau filoni is so good at using old star wars things in mandalorian clone wars the the thing in mandalorian where

mando gets that thing of beskar it is the ice cream machine. It's the same thing, and now it's used for something in Star Wars. It's just so fucking cool that they do that. It's such a nice nod to the fans. I love that. Took me many years to realize Alec Guinness has a terrible hairpiece.

Oh, shit. Yeah, not great. I was this year's old when I, shit. Yeah, not great. I was this year's old when I realized that. I'm not going to look at it the same. Alec Guinness, we've mentioned before, doesn't really like Star Wars, but a pro. Never complained. Totally a pro. Did you ever see him in the original version of The Lady Killers?

Yes. I recommend that. It's actually very funny, and he's awesome in it. And young Peter Sellers is in it, too. Boom. There's my movie for tonight. Oh, nice. I've been watching a ton of stuff.

I watched a strange movie last night. I watched The Four Feathers. Has anyone seen that? It's a Heath Ledger movie from 2002. It's like an 1800s period piece. I remember it existing, but I did not watch it. It was like, was that Josh Hartnett too? Yeah.

Yeah. Josh Hartnett had a fucking stretch. It just was what it was. Kate Winslet was in it. Josh Hartnett, he had a weird stretch from like probably 99 to like 2007 where he was in every big movie and then just like faded away. Just I don't know why.

That hair piece is something, huh? Yeah. Unbelievable. Yeah, it's I'm sorry to have been the bad tidings. Anyone remember Hollywood Homicide? Yes, Harrison Ford Yep, Harrison Ford

That's right Terrible Not very good I redid Bridge on the River Kwai recently That's another Alec Guinness one Amazing Yeah, what has been Has anyone on the stream been watching

Good quarantine movies we could throw recommendations? I've been doing the, or me and Jeff have both been doing, like, our weekly streaming blog. Oh, yeah, that's actually been awesome, yeah. Robbie, I'm on, I'm deep in the Outer Banks now. Oh, how is it? Oh, shit, I love it. Yeah, me and my lady got into it big time what is it about is it like a treasure hunter or something i can't figure it out so it's like the goonies meets one tree hill but like the

level at which it gets unrealistic and ramps up into the dramatic like preposterous level is like the fast and the furious by episode 10 it's like Fast and the Furious 10. It's one of my favorite things I've ever seen. It's drama porn. It's straight drama porn. These kids are only... Kids are 16-year-old, 27-years-old. Yeah, they're 16-year-old.

I don't know. Did you see the entire cast was tweeting Rhea today? Yeah. They're going on. Awesome, yeah. Merchandise look cool too oh yeah really cool by the way we're coming up uh to one of my favorite lines in this entire movie and it's when lando looks at 3po all fucking you know dismantled and says is there anything wrong with your droid and it's right after he's hitting on Leia. And Han is just like, no. And he's fine.

So yeah, that's one thing that I did. I think we talked about this a couple of times ago. But the solo dynamic in solo with young Lando and young Han, if there's anything, I don't know. I felt like that set the tone for Empire, for Return of the Jedi. Like it was enough of that backstory that I enjoyed with these. I liked all the Donald Glover Lando stuff. I thought he was like, he was the highlight of that movie.

Right. I mean, I know people are back and forth on the Sabacc scene, but like I felt like that was like, oh shit, okay. This is where they were like. I like that scene. It's weird buddies, but like i felt like that was like oh shit okay this is where they were like yeah i like that it's weird buddies but like well there's an interesting way to put to put lando and donald glover because i actually like i don't love the movie it's very mediocre but it's just me but i think he's very good but i've also heard people say they don't like donald glover's lando because

they like it's donald glover doing a really good lando impression and that like i could see that which i get like i get what's being said there solo is such garbage what they did in that scene where he named himself was that should be a war crime i bring that up every single time someone's like hey why do you give solo so much shit like a random person was like who is in your family and he said nobody so they said your name is han solo and he went by that for the rest of his life it's cool name talking about if hey if i didn't have a last name and someone offered me a very cool last name, I would say yes. So it was a sick last name.

That by the way, my most underrated moment in the entire franchise is when that door opens, Han, not even hesitate and just shoot. Oh, it's awesome. Do we ever get like a comic or like anything of kind of the meal, like happy hour that they had in here?

I really am intrigued. Robot chicken does a little bit on it. Yeah. I think robot chicken did do a skit. Yeah, dude, the robot chicken skit where the emperor gets the call that the death star has been blown up.

That's so great. One of the funniest skits. I've watched that on YouTube a thousand times. That is so funny. where the emperor gets the call that the death star has been blown up that's so great one of the funniest skits i've watched that on youtube a thousand times that is so funny those were done at the same time as yours right like you guys wasn't that a whole package yeah there's the joke about at the end of blue harvest yes right right okay yeah they were they were right around the same time that's such a great fourth wall break too. I know. So I just thought of something that I never realized until now, but it could just be

because the prequels were the prequels. When Yoda says there is another, he's talking about Leia, right? Yeah. But didn't they know that there was Leia because they were there when Leia was born? Like Obi-Wan knows about Leia, right? Yeah.

You just not know that she's worth sensing it. Yeah, Yoda's just speaking in backwards riddles for the fuck of it, I guess. Didn't that joke made in The Family Guy 1 where Obi-Wan's like, I have the Force 2, you know? Or he's like, yeah, I know. Like, I can fucking sense it. Yeah. obi-wan's like i have the force too you know or he's like yeah i know like i can fucking sense it yeah yeah i pitched a joke in that moment where he says there is another and and then have obi-wan go yeah but a woman well you guys you guys already got in on that at the very beginning. I know. Which is preferably. Is there someone else who can explain this to us?

Well, and this torture scene is very good, too. It was not what I expected. I always, this looks like the dentist to me. Like, that's what I picture on the thing next to the dentist chair. Yes. Just that fucking song. And here's Boba Fett's edited in Tamora Morrison voice. Oh, God.

That little kid who played Boba Fett in the prequels was so bad. Yeah. And he wants to play Boba Fett in the prequels was so bad. Yeah. And he wants to play Boba Fett more than anything in the world. The guy who plays him? That's like his life's goal is he wants to play Boba Fett now. Yeah, right now. He blew it. He had a chance. How many people have a chance

to play Boba Fett? He blew it. He says one line when they shoot at Obi-Wan. I forget what it is, but it's so bad. He's such a shithead in that whole scene. Get him dead! That's it. Fire, fire. That's it.

Fire, fire. That looked like a voiceover. It was weird. Yeah, the kid was probably bad at ADR. Long time self-theory here is that Chewbacca does this on purpose because he fucking hates 3PO. Because Chewbacca fixes the Falcon. He fixes the Millennium Falcon. He can't put 3PO.

He hates 3PO. He puts his head on the back of it. Jeff, I'm going to step in here with some Star Wars logic. And I'm going to say a car mechanic would not know how to fix a computer. Oh. There's a lot of computers in the popular. Come on. That was nice. Checkmate. Haven't you seen Pimp My Ride? A lot of

computers in cars. Man, rest in peace, Pimp My Ride. What's Exhibit up to? Do you think any of those Pimp My Ride cars are still driving around the way that Exhibit meant for them to be? Do you think that guy is still keeping the waterfall in his back seat up in his car? We outfitted you with a brand new

CD-ROM player for your car. Yeah, that one's definitely not in service anymore. It is kind of funny to think Chewbacca is working on the same circuit board that Anakin built, right? Oh, yeah. There's a good scene from, I think, a cartoon or something, a graphic novel from that moment. Fuck, I wonder if I can find it somewhere.

He's got his signature. His signature, like an artist underneath his neckline. Some people call it funny. Some people call it fucking stupid. It's just Carl Lewis lewis's autograph though you're a real hero another thing i didn't love about solo was the scene where uh it's like lando wears a cape in this so they have a scene where they're like let's walk into lando's cape closet. Right. That's what they make out. What? Nordstrom Rack.

Oh, my God. He has a cape for every occasion. That and Calrissian Chronicles kind of was like, all right, guys. Yeah, yeah. We got it. And how about Larry Kasdan loving the name trope of, huh, that's your name, huh? I'm going to call you so-and-so. He uses it so many times.

He uses it in Solo. That's your name, huh? Twice he uses it with Chewie, too, where they say, he goes, what's your name, Chewbacca? Well, I'm going to need a nickname for you. He's like, ah, Jesus Christ, guys, please, please don't. And then he fucking does it in The Force Awakens. He's like, FN-2187, I'm gonna call you Finn. Larry.

Big fan. And then here, this is coming up on I would say probably the best payoff or at least one of the best in the three Family Guy ones is the fuck off. Unbelievable. That was great.

I don't remember who pitched that. it may have been seth possibly a writer chris sheridan sounds kind of like him but yeah that's so you guys have to clear f words well no i mean it would be bleeped you know for air and then yeah on the dvd or whatever you can just but you can use them and bleep them as much as you want. Hypothetically. Yes. We've ran into that on our Snapchat show where like everything has to be bleeped,

but I've done takes where like I'll drop an F bomb and they'll be like, eh, actually no. Really? Yeah. That's Snapchat. May be more, um,

more censored than television. I'm the family guy. You didn't put any bleeped out words in the first one, right? Because this one and the third one were different in terms of how they aired, right? That's interesting. Blue Harvest has one. It has Cleveland is R2 shooting out the X-Wing. Oh, yeah.

And he drops a hard F-bomb. Not the hard F-bomb, just the regular F-bomb. Just trying to upload a JPEG, and I just want you to wait a minute. Oh, yeah. I used to do such a good Cleveland impression, but I totally lost it. I mean, not Jeff on the spot, but Jeff's Joe impression. Oh, yeah, Jeff. Oh, no. Do it now. You have to do such a good Cleveland impression, but I totally lost it. I mean, not at high school people loved it. But Jeff's Joe impression. Oh, no.

Do it now. You have to do it. Come on, Jeff. I don't think it's that good. People thought it was good. I mean. Oh, boy. I got to hear it.

We got to hear it. Yeah, it's not like there's anything good on. Oh, that cry from chewy heartbreaking fucking carrie fisher he turned those doe eyes on big time man like she looks like puss in boots when he's like, I mean, have a sense for the moment. 3PO. That was Anthony Daniels.

Improv line. Everyone must've been stunned to see this brick of Han Solo come out I tweeted out that picture of the fridge with uh this on it and there was a shit ton of people that actually thought that I got the fridge unfortunately I didn't get it but everybody's like holy shit would you get it i gotta i will admit for a second you had me and i was like oh shit look at that fridge but i looked and there was like a picture of a small asian boy on the side of it i don't think that's joey's unfortunately it's a shame we don't wore the carbonite in light because it looks so nice it's so clean

you know yeah that's awesome maybe we get some in mando family guide does a great job of ripping on walt disney sometimes yeah just like the actual person i just remember like in a random assortment of walt disney rips he was a a very interesting weird guy it seems he's frozen in carbonite as well somewhere possibly alec were there any other options like what what were the options on the table when they were dropping p Han Solo into Carbonite. Obviously, he had his pants down. I mean, do you remember anything else pitched, obviously?

Yeah, I think we talked about him giving the finger or his dick being out somehow. But I think usually what happens in those moments, especially when Seth used to be in the writer's room with us all the time if there was and I remember him doing it for this that he just drew on a piece of paper just like a free sketch of Peter with his pants down in the carbonite thing

and we're like okay well we're doing that clearly personally for my money by the way this is the coolest that luke skywalker has ever looked this luke skywalker outfit for me the jumpsuit sneaking around cloud city with the gun just looks like a badass he does i just it's a little tough for me because it's like if you look at the side by side of what he looked like in Star Wars and this, it's just so jarringly different. Yeah.

His face. And I just think he never got that face back. He used to look like David Cassidy or something. I just recently watched a really crappy movie he was in. It was him and Will Paxton. I can't remember the name of it, but it was very bad. Have you guys ever worked with Mark Hamill on Family Guy? We have.

Yeah, I know. He's been in a few times. It's funny. He did Luke in a gag for us. I can't remember which one. It wasn't the one with the lightsaber through the eye. It was a different one. And I had to re-record him as Luke. Like, I did Luke.

Because he just sounded so because he could not sound like Luke anymore and he just sounded so much older. That was very strange. Isn't there one where... Yeah, it's not in this one. It's a Star Wars joke in a Family Guy episode

where they're about to talk about the Death Star attack for the first time and he pulls him aside and he's like, I didn't like the death star attack for the first time and he pulls him aside he's like i didn't like the way you just talked to me just now oh yeah yeah that was the one that was the one wait so you ended up doing that yes that's funny it sounds exactly like him well i can be whiny when i need to one of the coolest uh one of the coolest locations for a final battle ever here you're coming up on one of the greatest shots in movie history too yeah the double dick there's one canvas like art piece of art that i could have it would be it would be this coming up yeah

you could probably get that no definitely i know i, but I just haven't gotten around to it yet. My wife doesn't like having everything filled with star Wars shit in the house. So I mean, you already have the carbonite fridge may as well. I love Luke. Just keeping a straight eye as long as the,

uh, right as the lightsabers like right, you know, an inch away from his face. Yup. Yeah. Just not showing any signs of weakness or fear at all. So good.

Although at that moment when he gets pushed over, you know, he's regretting it. He's like, fuck. Right. Does Darth always have the slow motion ignite? Because I feel like I see it.

I don't know if it's always slow motion. It's slow in Rogue One, I know. It is slow in Rogue One, yeah. Yeah. Sure. That guy's listening to What do you think under there he has like and i know some of the chat put it he's got a crazy like off movie in comic and book backstory yeah lobot he's my favorite random dude like other than the top tier guys i'm just a Lobot guy.

How have they not perfected headphones like that, by the way? To sell at Galaxy's Edge or whatever. I still don't get how my people wear the Bluetooth headphones that have the neck roll. I don't get that thing. Yeah. I was kind of disappointed when Lando called Han Han and nine. Didn't I call him Han?

Yeah. Oh, dude. I mean, you've come this far. All of a sudden you're changing back to Han? Well, I appreciated Luke referencing a lightsaber as a laser sword in eight because that's what George would call it exclusively. Yeah. Yeah.

So Alec, were you like me? Because I didn't like the sequels. I liked Force Awakens. I didn't like the last two. Were you like me with like, I really, really hope they don't fuck a Mandalorian or else I feel like I'm going to be like... I was pretty crestfallen after Last Jedi and I was really

scared about mandalorian and i couldn't be happier how it turned out and i feel like it kind of united the star wars fan base again were you kind of in that boat where you're like if this sucks we're gonna have a real problem i was it's funny i just expected that it wasn't going to be good i went in with very low expectations and and you know halfway through episode one i was like this is already so much better than the last three movies. I just like the vibe of this. It's like you know

it had a western feel. It was like I'm sure I'm the first person to notice that. I was in when the first English speaking character was Horatio Sands. Yeah.

And he didn't crack up. Mm-hmm. And Brian Posehn. Brian Posehn was like... Horatio Sands breaking. I love how Darth flew there. He could have walked down the stairs.

He's like, I'm going to scare the king. Nice flexing, yeah. Yeah, it was a pretty good flex. Oh, that hurts. That hurt more than any of the fights so far. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Right on the elbow, the funny moment.

Yeah. Yeah. And while we're bringing up all of Alec's greatest Star Wars jokes, you're part of an amazing Star Wars joke in Ted 2 as you guys are walking to Comic Con. You're like, go back to the fucking Enterprise.

They're like, no, no, no. We're sorry about that. We're sorry about that. He doesn't understand. Yeah, that was fun. That's where I referred to myself as Obi-Wan can nobody. Would it be, how controversial it takes, do you think it would be to say that Ted 2 is a sequel better than the original? Very.

Really? Yeah, I don't think that's accurate at all. I mean, I support you saying it because I like that you liked it. But I think the first half is very funny. And then it gets to a courtroom scene that's like the length of the Bible. I love the entire Comic-Con scene. The Sweet Caroline joke with him jumping out with the bump, bump, bump. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, that was like a rip-off. And every single time Clubber lang was referenced or f scott fitzgerald like that whole scene that was funny that was funny well the the jonah hill superman thing is funnier to me thinking now that you just said you were pumped you're not going to comic-con yeah yes that's such a comic-Con-y thing Yeah Oh this is Now Darth gets unfair here Mm-hmm As you would say

He's like yeah I'm sick of this shit You're going out the window oh luke holding his own though some fucking moves i don't know though some of these swings are pretty wild here it's like he's got to do better than that oh he got hit by a Magnavox TV right there. Yeah. Yeah, at this point, he's just – he's wobbled. And it's like, oh, man, there's no coming back from that.

He's hurt. Joe Rogan's screaming. Would you guys have thought it would have just been completely out of line if in Force Awakens they would have kept um who was it sebastian stan yeah yeah uh supposed to be playing young luke that was going to flash and raise vision you glad they cut that out or i mean they they they put the young luke thing in rise of skywalker i felt like that looked pretty good so i i would have been fine with it if as long as it okay now uh young leia in that same young luke scene was like oh they they used her battlefront 2 model did you ever see that thing online uh with the whoever like... When Leia gets blown out of the ship

and is frozen and then floats back in... Was that Last Jedi? Yeah. They put the big Lebowski music to it. That was so funny. I think we're coming up to Willrow here. There he is. And there he goes. Shit. Well, then we're coming up to Will Rowe here. There he is. And there he goes.

Shit, well then, we're in different time. We might be a few seconds off slightly. You'll see a man run by with an ice cream maker. I may be ahead of you. True. It is one of the least consequential quick moments you'll ever see. I'm telling you it's blink and you miss it he's in the bay just boom you know i when i was in high school i used

to take the bus from boston to new york to like go hang out on the weekends like a cool kid or whatever you take a peter pan bus down and every once in a while they'd show a movie on the weekends like a cool kid or whatever you'd take a peter pan bus down and every once in a while they'd show a movie on the bus and so one time they showed empire so i was like so excited and there were these like four like inner city kids on in the back of the bus and for the first 20 minutes of the movie they were just just talking, talking a lot. And then they were very quiet for the whole movie. And then when Darth Vader said, Luke, I am your father, they exploded. They were just like, oh, shit. It was awesome.

That's amazing. A great experience. I thought you were going to say they just, like, gave you shit the whole time and I was going to be really sad. No. The movie got him what a testament to how fucking great this movie is

I love watching the videos of the little kids watching this for the first time and getting to that scene because it's like they're the only ones that are gonna be able to get it at this point you're not gonna find a 21 year old that's never seen Star Wars and be able to show them Empire and they don't already know that from going to be able to get it at this point. You're not going to find a 21 year old. That's never seen star Wars and be able to show them empire. And they don't already know that from just pop culture lexicon.

So those videos of kids just being shocked and sad and like, is that true? And then them not knowing that, of course it's true. It's I haven't watched that. I'm going to have to watch that after this. Oh yeah. There's a ton of them.

I never knew that either. I was like end game, our moment, like at the end of end game, like I'm trying to think of a end of them i never knew that either i was like end game our moment like at the end of end game like i'm trying to think of a end of infinity war you mean or i mean infinity war but like even at the end of end game with the snap i guess with like the portals i'm trying to think of a moment that was like it wasn't really an aha moment you know i don't i don't think i feel like the first danos snap is similar and, like, my mom knew what that meant pretty much right away.

And that doesn't happen often where it's like everyone knows what a Thanos snap is. Thanos and the snap, it transcended what Marvel – like, it transcended Marvel movie. It was – everyone knew what it was. The dusting away. The I don't feel safe. That was awesome. There goes his hand. The fact that it happened right as the two,

I think it was the 2016 NBA finals. So it was like a very big mean time and it was just magic. I just remember, I associate those two things together. So great. If your right hand was, was cut off, would you still beat it with it?

Or would you be too afraid? Like, what if I go, I'll go just a circuit glitch and it just crushes your dick. Well, doesn't he in this scene like the hand that he gets you mean would i would i jerk with that yes definitely because you know there's got to be some fucking mode where it's like autopilot and it's like

you're getting it's like the phantom oh it goes like shake weight mode yeah no doubt about it another all-time great animated part is the simpsons when homer spoils this as everyone oh i love that i love that and like i thought about that um when you leave the theater you have to kind of like go to a little corner because it was like after endgame or infinity war or any of those movies you know yeah i worked at a theater in 2015 and we would put up signs for premieres like uh the people working on this shift care about like we held like corporate screens for at this point ironic batman versus superman uh like we care about this please don't spoil it on your way out so there's like yeah i keep getting teased on youtube watching a theater reaction to Vader telling Luke he's his father.

And I don't want to click it because I'm like, why would somebody still have that? Or why would anyone know to have that? And I just feel like I'm getting like fucking Rick rolled if I click it. So I refuse to click it. I just I'm assuming it's fake. I'm just like, I'm going to get duped and I'm going to feel like an idiot. No big. I always think that if this movie came out today,

this scene in particular would be nitpicked to death and some people would say it ruined the movie. That Luke is fine after he falls here. Because I'm cool with it. Trust me, I'm fine with it. But just after seeing the level at which people have nitpicked the new ones, I'm like, okay. Really great system in Cloud City to get rid of trash and garbage, though.

Yeah. I mean. Just toss it into the planet. Wonderfully built. Yeah. And then his wall is going on underneath. What did he drop there? I think it was just part of the

thing he fell on. Oh, okay. I thought maybe it was his keys or his wallet or something. Yeah, it's the gym card. Oh, God, I gotta get a new credit card. What a hassle. There you go. That's the retroactive joke.

You can put it. He's gotta go to the DMV. Oh, what a hassle. The Star Wars DMV. Man, James Earl Jones' voice. Wish I could have sex with it. It smells so fucking good. This was Tom Selleck, right?

Yes. Yeah. Play Tom Selleck, right? Yes. Yeah. Play Tom Selleck. And then you did Turn the Beat Around. I love that. Yeah. Yeah. That was one, like, sorry, Alec.

My mom, you know how moms are. She's not, she doesn't get the family guy humor, right? Sure, Of course. When watching, um, this, the empire family guy, she just so happened to be passing one time.

I'll never forget when the turn this shit. And then she started cracking up and I was like, yes. So that's the one that even stood the test of time for my mom. There we go. Personal victory. I just have to make more jokes from the 70s. I wonder what Vader's mood is in this point.

How pissed off is he right now? Is he like, I won that fight? Sick? I'm still the man? Is he in his 50s being like, I still got it? I think he's like Belichick. He doesn't enjoy the victories. He's just moving on to the next thing.

Yeah. That's a new shot. Is that a new shot or no? I don't think so. Of the shuttle leaving the planet? Yeah. Well, now you're making me question it.

It looked like coming off the planet, it looked like a newer shot, but I don't know. One in the chat just wrote, on to Seattle. That's a special edition right there, the door that opens above Lando. Yes. that's a special edition right there the door that opens above lando yes which is like fine i guess strange that can you yeah imagine the team was assigned to that like

the poor fucking guys that george is like all right and they're seeing a few more doors imagine the ships just didn't look cool in Star Wars. Like if the ships looked like the ones in Space Mutiny or something. Like just the whole movie just fails if it didn't look this good. Absolutely. And so distinct. The Millennium Falcon having the cockpit on the side of the ship, like strangely and all that.

Like the greatest, greatest spaceship. Don't get, don't get penis-y. We were just talking about that when we were doing New Hope. I love that joke. That was written by a writer named Steve Callahan, who knows very little about Star Wars. That was very funny. So, like, for those writers that didn't know a ton going into it,

did you guys, like, all watch the movie together? We did. And, like, watch, just, like, wrote stuff? We watched it all together. And, you know, the people who didn't know the movies had funny shit to add because they're watching it not for the first time, but they haven't seen it since they were kids maybe.

It's almost like you know how kids will point out stuff that you normally wouldn't even think of noticing? It's almost like that sometimes when you watch a movie with a fresh set of eyes. Totally. And we needed it. We needed so many jokes. You know why they call him TIE Fighters, kid? Oh, just such a great,

such a hysterical goddamn parody. Oh, come on. Lando, you worthless fuck. Lando, why doesn't Phoebe Waller-Bridge work right now? That was another part of Saul. It's like, he's fucking the droid. Come on. As weird as it sounds, I like that the Falcon had that persona.

Because the Falcon, you feel like the Falcon's a person. It's one of my top five favorite characters so I get that part of it but it was just so fucking weird yeah I would have liked to see Lando be a little more and maybe it's fucking Disney doesn't want to promote this personality type in

2019 2018 whenever the movie came out I wanted to see lando fuck everything that moves yeah it would be so fun to have like one rated r star wars imagine if lando's introduction in solo was fucking literally hon opening a door and he's railing an alien from behind like doing a line of blow off of her. And he's like, hey, hey, hey. They were close to that with Kirk in the Star Trek reboot with J.J. Abrams. Yeah.

Getting in bar fights. He was in bed with an alien. With that green alien. Right, right, right. They kind of handed in Solo too. Him and Kira kind of a little bit. Kira was kind of into him in a way

everybody else picked that up everyone was i mean who isn't yeah oh or two i mean get back in bed luke i know gotta have some unreal drugs pipe pumped into that wrist right now. I always thought it was weird too how he jumps off of a... He jumps to what could be his death because he doesn't want to join Vader, but then 10 minutes later,

he's like, father, in bed. Him and Lando haven't met, so Lando's got to be standing like, what the fuck is this guy's deal? He's like, this guy, we gave him too much Novocaine. He is drugged up. Ha ha ha.

I always love these ships. The big medical cruiser, or whatever they're called. Medical frigate? Are you already there? Yeah, I think I'm a little bit ahead. Jeez, you're like... Yeah, I'm not on that yet. You're like five minutes ahead. I'm on the Falcon.

They just went to light speed. They just went to light speed now. Yep, I just hit light speed. My fucking God. MVP performance by R2. He has... I mean, the guy makes... He brings it up by R2.

...situational life too. Yeah, he's like James White White catching 16 balls against the Falcons and not an MVP. I compare everyone like that to Robert Ori, but James White is the perfect comparison. Ori's great. There was a female executive at 20

who looked like Robert Ori. I'm not going to say her name, but it was X, and we used to call her Big Shot X. This might be the funniest thing pointed out in these things that he's wearing Hans clothes. It's so weird. It's so weird.

So dry. I mean, what a dick. Did he have one outfit? Was he like, I wasn't prepared to sleep over, but now we're in the war? That's a good theory. But couldn't we say that they could have been Lando's too, and Han was wearing Lando's shit? Yeah, they come with the Falcon.

Whoa, that's a really good... That's a good point. He gets his clothes back finally. He just turned the world upside down. Oh, and I forget, geez, Back to the Future. I forget you ended with Back to the Future. Yeah, he's alive. Which, Robbie, when you first saw that, you had no idea what that was in reference to then.

Nope, I didn't get any Back to the future reference till like last year, which is when we did the whole podcast about it with KFC and Clem and all them, that was like the main point was, all right, now I get references. Oh, take a bow guys.

What a fucking movie. Perfect. A hundred out of a hundred. So good. Directed by a Jewish guy. Fuck. What is the opening in Spaceballs? What is the bumper sticker stay on the back of it

when it goes by? It says something really funny. It's like I break for something. Yeah. That's going to bother me now. Because I just thought of that now because of Schwartz. Right. That long ass ship.

Yeah, they're incredibly. Oh, man. Mel Brooks, such a fucking treasure. What a way to let the music play, let the movie just play out on its own. So great. Thanks for joining us, man. That was a blast. We'll have to have you on to do something else at some point.

That was so fun. I'd love to do it again. You guys are awesome. I love Barstool so much. Keep it up. I just got the app for my Apple TV at the beginning of this quarantine, and I sit around and just watch you guys all day

it's like I'm here with my friends I'm going to have to do my Joe yeah you have to do it you have to do it okay what do I say here hey we just watched Empire Strikes Back earlier Peter um, let me see here. Hey, we,

uh, we just watched, uh, we just watched Empire Strikes Back earlier, Peter. We, uh, gonna probably watch Jedi later on,

but, uh, Empire is probably my favorite one. That's good. I mean, pretty good. I prefer doing just regular Patrick Warburton, just a,

hey, hey, Jerry, how you doing? Go see Devils tonight. It's my most requested one. That's, that was good. We, we, we do a fourth wall see Devils tonight. It's my most requested one. That was good. We do a fourth wall joke and a family guy coming up where they go to like a mailboxes, et cetera, the guys.

And Joe has a mailbox there and he's getting his man like, Joe, what mail do you get here? And he goes, it's mostly residuals from Seinfeld. And they go, oh, you were on Seinfeld? And he goes, yeah, that's right.
