All right, guys, here we go. Asoka. Episode 4, spoiler-heavy review. Thanks for joining me on the show here today. It is me, Christian Harlov. Yes, we're going to do a full-on Sith Council of myself and Michael Kalanowski a little later on today. So make sure you tune in for that. If you haven't already done it, you're brand new to the channel.

You're like, oh, I want to see what this guy thinks about the Anakin thing. Yeah, it's a spoiler. So if you came in here, unknown as a spoiler, tough shit. 100,000, so we're trying to get to. and we hope that you can help us, help us, and hit that button. It is not a big thing today. That is a lie. There's a full-on lie.

So, let's get into it, man. This is a really good episode. I talked about the, I had an immediate reaction after I watched it. It was funny. Someone said, immediate reaction, looking at my watch. It's funny. I definitely watched it later than everybody else. I was watching The Nun 2 at the time.

and I'll have an out of the theater reaction that'll post for that tonight. Tonight, I think I'm allowed to. So record it. It'll be out when it's out. All right. So let's get into this thing, man, because we started right away, right where we left off. And I think, and I saw some comments again

yesterday from somebody going that episode three was a filler. Then you're not watching the show. You're not watching the show. There's one thing to say, if you thought it was too short, it was. if you thought that there was maybe not as much, I mean, I don't know what you could say as far as action and dialogue.

There was a lot in three, and everything furthered the plot, and it led us to hear. What I will say is this. I think that this show, so far from what I've seen, could have been five episodes, maybe six. Doesn't need to be eight, because the third episode and this episode together, someone's going to edit it together,

and you're going to see, it's going to be like, it's a monster episode. It's like as far as things that happen, emotions that happen, things that build, when you watch episode three and four together, like one big episode, you can tell. Like imagine that when it left off on episode three, when Baylon is kind of staring out there, you get right into where we are here with the ending of Asoka

in the world between worlds. If that's the episode, people are losing their minds. So I think that they could have, and I do think, and I've always said this too, when people do the, well, Disney Star Wars, Disney's never going to do material like this, Disney doesn't write the creative, clearly. Because here's the thing, when people love this episode, no one's going, oh, look what Disney did. They're going Filoni. Look at Faloni then. But when it's bad, they go, look at Disney did. What I will say is this.

What I do think Disney is responsible for because they want the ratings, they want the cash from it, they're, providing the budget. What I do think, and I'm curious, I don't have any information on this, but what I'm curious is, do they say, look, spread this thing out to eight episodes? You might have longer episodes here, but spread them out. Give us eight episodes. Can you give us eight? And Dave Floney had the stories, like, I guess I could cut this one into two.

And again, I don't know if any of this is factual, but I could see this being something where Disney is like, give us eight. And they go, all right, well, instead of doing this hour-long episode, let's just cut that and a half and it'll be like 33, 34 minutes apiece. That makes a little bit more sense when you look at this episode, and you could also see that's when the Disney or any corporation comes in going, hey, we need more money, we need more, we want to stretched out, get more ratings each week for those two. That I can see.

That is a, come on, Disney, if that's the case. But the creative side of it, you can see what they did very strongly in this episode. And when we get right away to, that's not it, when we get right away to the started this and they're on the ship they're they're they're bad this had a very much the um the the the the the the mynox and all this from empire strikes back this whole episode felt like an empire strikes back is where the last couple went new hope and i wonder if that's done on purpose i wonder if the next few will be like jett i but this has a very empire strikes back feel when they're trying to figure out how to fix this ship how to get things going um and um and i'll tell you

Huyang is quickly becoming one of my favorite droids. And he's trying to fix it up. They're trying to have this conversation. And Asoka and Sabine have this conversation where... Asoka knows what's coming. She knows that there's going to be a big problem here, and she's got to accept it, that they're going to run into this thing

where they're going to have to destroy this map, and they're not going to find Ezra. And she's got to let Sabine... She's got to know if Sabine can do it. And they were going to have this conversation last time. Like, hey, don't take... the map and you took the map and look what happened. I got to be able to trust you. And the second she says that, I think we all know, uh-oh, there's going to be some kind of scenario that pops up.

So they're kind of softballing it on purpose to say that this is going to be a problem. And one of the, one of the two, most likely Sabine is going to be faced with this issue of we know how badly you want as we're back. Can you can you let it, can you let it loose? And we know the answer to that is no. So they have this great conversation, and, you know, Sabine, I love the relationship between them the way that they've been setting it up. And there are stakes. And this is what I will say. And I am still a big advocate for the longer episodes. And this episode, and I look back and I think without the credits and it's a short episode.

It's like 34 minutes or something like that, maybe 36. It's a short episode. It felt longer. It felt longer. And there was enough meaning inside of it. I still think it should have been longer. or I still think, I kind of, I go back to what I said in the beginning of this video and that's, I think that they should have just had episode three and four is one giant episode,

even if it meant seven episodes for the season, more so than it being a longer episode, because they both filled out, and they both had, again, I pushed back to anyone. And this isn't opinion. This is an opinion. When you go through what filler is, is it just an episode just kind of like, go away from the main plot just to like lost season two had tons of filler episodes right does it take away does it add to the plot does it add to the emotion does it add to the characters in this venture that we're on if you say that three was filler you are wrong

you're wrong there's not it's not well my opinion is that's filler you don't know the definition of filler um there's a difference now if you said i don't like it i don't like the episode then then absolutely that's that your prerogative to do and you like it but if you say it's filler i've called tons of bad batch episodes filler because they go on these different adventures and it's like this a side character who you like wait a minute what's what's happening how does this add to the plot at all i i can argue that in um mandorian season three there were tons of filler episodes right but that wasn't a filler and clearly where we get to here when we're at this uh we're at this moment where it's it really it's it's a great setup and it also is the combo for the storm

as sabine is carrying around a lot of baggage you can see it and there is this common piece of the soca to where she's just like okay got to be able to trust you here and she's like you can don't worry about it and who yank comes back out and this is when he starts working on the ship and again the relationship between these two is working the relationship between all three of them and i love how the droid cares i love how the droid really cares about what is going on with both of these ladies and how he's got to lend his insight. And it's funny because the criticism that I gave last night was watching, there were a couple times inside of the forest that it felt volumin, right?

And so it was like, well, you can't all complain about the volume. Yeah, I can if it's noticeable. You don't have to complain about it, but if I notice it, I'm going to complain about the volume. And I did. But nonetheless, it wasn't so much like this scene to me, this shot looks great. There were just a couple of different times, and it wasn't enough to who was drawing.

And there's other things like this. I love this whole scene. Baylon, by the way, ah, breaks my heart, man. Grace Stevens is so awesome. He's just such a great. Since Rome, it's been one of my favorites. He is just stealing this show.

He is stealing this show. Everything that he has done thus far, the character of Baylon is not just this plain mustache twirling villain. He has depth. him. He says things. He doesn't want to do certain things, but he'll do it right away. The way that he fights, the way that he talks, the things that he's, he's like the perfect, he's not a Sith Lord, at least they don't call him one yet, but this is the most detailed villain that we've gotten in a very, very long time. And I love what he's doing with Shin. I love their dynamic,

how he's still kind of taken orders from Morgan and the dynamic of the villains. The villains are so are set up. I would say so far, some of the best villains we've had in Star Wars in a very long time. I mean, a very long time. Some of the best villains because they have purpose. And I, gosh, I love what

Ray Stevenson, the great Ray Stevenson Dirk in is one of his final roles. So, so good, man. Okay. So, yeah, Morgan is like, we've got to, we're ready. We just got to block these people off and Shin's like we found them you know we've we found them and this is this

whole thing we'll get into the Merrick stuff which is fantastic so happy the way this went down so happy but so Merrick snake eyes I guess and and Shin they're like all right let's go let let we're gonna go find these humps and then we'll we'll take them out and uh we'll be able to go off and have coffee with Thrawn next week um and so they do and he's and I love this the same thing you're nervous you're you I sense fear and he's like, nah, it's experience. He's been through it. He knows, like it's little lines like that

and just have faith. He lost faith a long time ago. Jumping into Asoka, I mean, the fallen Jedi, relevant to all of it, all of it, obviously the very end with Anakin, the fallen Jedi,

the, Balin himself. Hell, Asoka, if you want to argue it. Right? And it's just, that little conversation that they have later on.

everything, the depth of this one leading into, and it did have, like I said, the empire strikes back parallels, right? Whether it's the stuff with the ship, fixing the ship, trying to get off of the rock that they're on, but then the other thing that is the parallels, and everyone says this ever since empires, oh, this is the empire strikes back of.

This feel is going to be like the empire strikes back, the empire strikes back field. This was relevant to it too, because it's bleak by the end of this episode. And the bad guys seem to be winning. But yeah, man, fallen Jedi. Very accurate. And then we start to move a little bit more

as we stay in this. You see the assassination, the HK droids are coming in hot. And this is where Sabine is, it's a follow-up kind of conversation where Asoka saw that it bothered, but she had to talk to her and say, look, this is, it's a tough. tough, it's a tough thing that we're going through here, but we got to be able to make the right

decision. Are you going to be able to do that? And she's like, and she even says, as Sabine turns it back, is like, are you? She's like, I'm going to have to do what I got to do. And she would have absolutely destroyed it. And then Hu Yang, this is one of my favorite parts of the whole show. I love when Hu Yang is just down there and he's, and he's working to hear something. And he starts throwing hands. He's, he's not like, you know, he knows he's overmatched. The droid kind of pins him against the thing and he starts calling for help, but he's throwing hands, he's moving, I think he threw a knee, he's been

watching some UFC and whatnot, but he, um, I loved that scene because he was, he didn't hesitate for a second. He's been around for a long time, he's been working with Jedi for a long time, and it looked good, it looked good. And I loved the fact

that he was throwing hands with this droid. And eventually, you know, he's, he's overpowered and he calls for help and they realize one and it's it's again a good scene in the dynamic to where right away Sabine is like what is this dopey joy doing he messed up she's like nah he wouldn't mess up something's wrong she knows they run out and then all hell breaks those right and they shoots this thing right back of the head I love what they did Sabine also in in this episode too where the one of the

a couple of the fears that I had and was worried about because it goes into internet speculation too of the stuff with Merrick and other things too where people have all these theories and she's like oh my god I hope that doesn't happen it's so stupid um and one of the other things it's like one of the cliches and a few of the cliches I was worried about look like they might not be happening and I hope that I'm I hope that I'm right and wrong wrong in the fact that I thought they were going to be happening I thought shin was turning good it looks like shin is is is embracing evil and I hope they keep her evil because she's crushing it as a villain as well so I hope they keep her bad. People are telling, I think you're wrong on this one, man. I don't think

they're going to turn her. I hope you guys are right. And right now, after this episode, I think maybe you're right. There haven't been a lot of kind of teases that she could turn good. I think that, if anything, Baylon, but I don't want them to do that either. But the other thing is Sabine, and they did it, they felt rebels, not to her lose you, but like there are certain things that you can tell that Filoni is a part of it, because there's a moment that we'll get to him a little bit. But like when she's fighting Shin, And she tries to use the force, and you're like, oh, no, she's going to use the force now. And she'll listen to say, you don't have any power.

And then she's like, the hell I know. She shoots the freaking weapon that she has. That's what she's always done. She's been scrappy. She's been a fighter. And the way that they played that was brilliant. And she used her blasters all over the way. She used the saber when she had to.

When she was in trouble, she used the saber. But for the most part, she's using the blasters. And she shoots a stupid thing right in the back of the head. and then Asoka kind of takes out the other ones. And away we go. And the battle has begun. Heang is good to go, and he looks back and, you know, it's going to take me a little bit more of a setback.

But the battle was fantastic, up top, and this is just the droids themselves and the assassins. So now they know, all right, we've got to make a move here. We've got to get the hell out of here. And this is what Heung tells him. He's listen, stick together. No matter what, stick together. They don't listen to him.

but they try to and then they just start running which I thought was hilarious. Run and doesn't Asoka have like Jedi force speed? Maybe she was being nice, kept up with her. And then we cut to Hera and we have this scene where Herra ain't listened to anybody. She's like, I'm going to help my friends.

I'm out of here. And they have this scene with this guy and you'll think of something. And this part where he's like, something, something, something. I don't know if that joke work for anybody? It didn't work for me. But the guy was a good actor.

It was just a bizarre exchange. Unless he comes back and he's got more to do later on, and that's kind of his thing, which would be interesting. Maybe that's what they're going to do. But then, yeah. So we get Jason in the cockpit with her, and if you watched Rebels,

the last part of Rebels, he's always flying around in the ship with her. People are like, why is he flying around in the ship with his mom? He's been flying around on the ship with his mom for a while. And then we get the fact that Carson, Paulie's back. Well, there's the entire fleet. I love to keep showing the fleet,

but then they have Carson coming back. And that was great to see. He's, I mean, he's, he's all over the place. He's in every, he's got to be in the movie. He's got to be in the movie. So the fleet goes off and they're like, all right, we're with you. And I love this guy. I don't remember this guy's name.

Does anybody know this guy's name? I call him Lizard Face. I like Lizard Face. And they jump off in hyperspeed. There they go. And this thing, this hyperdrive, this station that Morgan is working on, this is the way that you do a death star-like thing that's not a death star. It's like, what the hell is that thing? And it's like it's not a big attack weapon.

It's a thing that's going to, they're building these rockets out because they're going to go explore places that we can't get to. And if they get there, uh-oh, right? Like how did they put together this hyperdrive? How did they put all this together? and it's more of a threat because they have this piece of technology as opposed to, well, they're going to blow up another planet, they're going to blow this up.

This type of storytelling should have been what we had for the new trilogies. This is the type of exploring these types of, you know, different things to do besides just the same thing over and over and over again, of planet blowing up or the big old threat. This was, it was eerie. It also combined

a lot of the lore and mythology of Star Wars and certain things people are also talking about i think with morgan is wait a minute why doesn't she look like a witch who's from dathamere didn't didn't i mean they had maul lived on dathamere for a long time he's not the he's a zabba is zabak or whatever he's there they're there's tons who was she adopted was she brought over where there are humans that live on the planet as well too that they taught the thing i mean come on that's that's that's that's a that's a silly that's a that's a silly grape because she's also Morgan is is becoming a another one whose intent is I mean that one

scene is pretty eerie as well the villains where they all the X-Wings kind of line up and like they're blocking our past she's like ignore them great line ignore them just blast right through them they're they're going to be we're going to just will destroy them it's not going to it's not going to harm us at all and the methodical nature of Morgan they're starting to really define them And I think that, again, Baylon was really developed the most in this particular episode. But like I said, it was a shorter episode, but there's just so much to cover. I mean, there's so much to cover in this thing. Like the fact that this was all set up, they, she says, look, you got to, you got to block them.

You cannot let, you've got to let us load this program up or whatever it might be. And here it is. And he's looking, and this is when she says, have faith. and he looks up and he's like witchcraft. And she knows. She's ready. She is determined and she knows exactly what it's going to take to get there. And they have a clear-cut mission.

And the same thing. And Baylon does trust her for sure. And he's following the path. And that whole thing. This creepy droid, I love this creepy droid also, where the same time, calculations, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah.

And then as they get to this next fight, our next fight. There's lightsaber fight, plot, lightaber fight, plot, battle. And then we get to Shin and Smokeface, as we'll call him now. And I love how they match up once again. Shin and Sabine are going to go for round two, and then we're going to get Merrick and Asoka. And the way they paired it up back and forth, and you see the double blade,

everybody's wondering, and I'll tell you this, When I was in the, I was in that screening for Nun 2, and I went on Twitter for like a split second. And I saw, I was like, Laura Kelly and Lacey Gillerin's tweets, they didn't spoil anything. They said, oh my God, oh my God, tweet, are you serious, blah, blah, blah, all this stuff. And I was like, oh, no, I don't want to read anymore because they're going to reveal who Merrick is. This is what I thought right now. And I'm thinking of my head, I'm like, oh, my God, who did they, who did they reveal? I'm like, who would have kind of gotten that kind of response if that was it.

So I got duped as far as, and I think that's what Flonnie's intent was. It was brilliant. And because I had said last week when it came to the Merrick side of things, what I have loved if it was Star Killer and they finally brought Garin into Canon and they finally brought Sam Whitwer into live action, absolutely. But I said on, I think it was Monday's episode, I really wanted to be no one. Like, it's no one. It's just a freaking, it's just an inquisitor.

And it's nothing. It doesn't need to be anybody. And I love that not only that, he blew up. And they didn't explain why. Just blew up. Maybe they'll explain later. I don't know, was he created by Morgan or whatever? You guys, if you know the answer, I didn't care.

Fine, you want to blow him up, blow him up. And somebody, I saw some kind of reports like, oh, is he a smoke monster from Lost? Who cares? He's not Ezra. And that that was the best, it was the best. For all those people, this is Ezra. It makes sense. It's Ezra.

It makes no sense to be Ezra at all, at all. It made no sense to be anybody. The only one is you wanted to make it, even if he made it Star Killer, you'd have to explain so much more. This way, who cares? He was a smoke monster freaking inquisitor. Great.

No one's talking about him anymore. It's over. Because now everybody's going to be talking about the end. Loved it. And I love the fight. Fight was great too. And he's turning around this. Everybody that has been paying attention

to the Merrick stuff is wondering what kind of reveal it's going to be. The battle has. But two great battles going on at the same time in the forest as both Asoka. And Asoka trusted in Sabine and lets her just kind of do her battle. And I mean, Shin really came to play in this one. She's, for the most part, she's really dominated this fight once again. And the battles are kind of going.

It's like it was a good pace to where you're keeping up with both of them. And it's this is where they, you know, Morgan has to go back, gets on the ship. And it's kind of, it's one of these things where we know. that something's common. Now, are the bad guys going to win? Are they going to catch them in time? Are they going to be able to get the maps for themselves? I think a lot of us, maybe, maybe, maybe not,

felt that it was going to go down the road that it did, but the question was, how are we going to get there? And the battles just keep continuing, right? And I love the two battles that they've had, was Shin ultimately kind of winning both, even though at the very end, you know, she uses the blaster of it. But then this was reminiscent, this thing between,

Merrick and Asoka. This reminded me of Moll and Obi-One. She makes the move. He cuts him in half. He blows up. And that's the end of it. Cut back to, I thought that Shin's reaction to when he died was pretty great.

She looks over, she's like, oh, no. Wait a minute. And then she also, and the other reason for is less of an emotional attachment of that reaction. But more of shit, she's going to get to Baylon now. And I'm still dealing here. And this is where they don't listen to Hu Yang, though, too. She's like, just go. Get the hell out of here.

Get the map. I'll take care of this. And the battle continues between these two, with ultimately Sabine being Sabine using that blaster. And Morgan finally just telling Baylon, all right, stay here. This is where that Vader kind of emperor hired gun kind of thing happens, too, though, where you kind of know. And I love that Baylon doesn't give a look.

He knows his job. He knows what he's got to do. and he stays back and waits. And when Asoka gets there and we get this whole kind of understanding of this with the hood up and everything. Bailen knows who Anakin was.

He knows the history of it. He knows all these things. And he knows Ossokas. And she tries to throw some shade at him where he's like, yeah, he talked about you all the time. He's like, never mentioned you. He's like, everybody knew Anakin, man. But you ain't going to bother me with your shots.

Can't cancel them. me. So he, you know, they have a great conversation. He's trying to get into her head a little bit, and he does. And they finally have a pretty epic battle, the two of them, as they size each other up. And it's a great, it really is a nice, it's, it's a Star Wars kind of battle that I haven't seen in a long time, and where they both light up. And I love the poise. I love the poise of Bailan. I love how he's just, I mean, he's, he's about his. of a villain and what he he is fighting with anger though he is fighting with power you see the slashes that he's that he's taken some of these shots man look how epic the the framing of these

shots and you could just tell the the artist in philoni i know he didn't direct the episode but like when but just how a lot of these frames are and just the moves man the moves that are going down at the same time and like it was it really i like the choreographing of the saber the saber shots and Rosario Dawson doing a great job. Look at that. I love that looks like, I mean, that just looks like a poster. So then, you know, then we kind of this back and forth with Morgan on the actual ship as these two are battling it out.

And we switch back because there's three things, four things really going on that are going to dictate all this with Hera kind of coming in a play in a second two. But as we get to, you see the Mandalorian helmet on the floor. And when this is one of my favorite parts of the whole episode when she, when Shin knocks her down, She sticks her hand out for the force. Because I was like, oh, come on, are we going to, she's going to do the force already? And she's like, you have no power. And then, boom, shoots at her ass.

And she smokes bomber, smoke bombs her and gets the hell out of there. But it is. And this kind of fight that they had when she finally knocks Baylon down, she gets to the thing. And this pain that Rosary Dawson shows is the soaker where she screams at it. And that was unwise, an old school kind of line. And here comes, here comes. comes, what's her face? Shin, again, after she disappears, this battle that they have down when Baylon and

Asoka are fighting and Shin shows up. And you really read it. It was great job by Rosario Dawson. She looks over and this kind of pain comes over where she's like, that means that Sabine's probably dead. And you can see it. And she didn't have to say anything. You knew that that was the thought process that she had.

And Chin is rightfully so playing her card of. I'm not saying nothing. You want to think that I killed her? That's fine. I just ran away from her. She's probably going to be here in a second anyway, but if it's going to help. Great shot of the three of them kind of looking each other,

and she's super pissed about it, and she just tosses shin into the rocks, like, Sith style, to be honest with you. The anger kind of comes out of her, throws her, and this is where I'm talking about that power, Baylon. But right when it looks like she's going to be thrown over the side, this is when,

Sabine shows up. And when Sabine gets there, it puts relief over Asoka, and it puts us into this moment that they set up earlier that we knew it was coming, right? Okay, you got a chance now. Destroy it.

Do it. And at that moment, it also kind of plays Sabine's hand a little bit to Baylon where she's not doing it, and she should be. And it's like, he could be like, all right, we're going to lose here,

but she's not doing it. so he knows he's got to make his move. Great shot here. It uses all the power he can, knocks Assook off the cliff. Now, I will say this. This is one thing that bothered me just a little bit. Like, there's this emotion, Sabine is like, no.

It's, don't you think she should have been kind of like in tears for the rest of it? Like, really kind of pissed off? She doesn't seem that bothered, minus that no scream that Assoca's gone. Like, she joins over with Baylon pretty quick, whether she's paying a ruse or not, knowing that, look, I think it was the right move overall. People are going to go, why did she give her the thing? What is she going to do?

She's going to beat Baylon? She couldn't even beat Chin. She didn't even beat Bin. She knows it. She shot 75 shots at the guy, and he's just, like, slapping it around. And she had no way out unless she would have blown the thing up. But she wants to see Ezra. So it is real from what he was saying to her.

But I just don't think she was upset. She didn't seem that upset. minus this one thing of no. And then he turns around, she starts firing at him. I guess that could probably play into her being pissed off. But he doesn't slash her down. He could have. And he probably could have just taken the thing out of her hand as well too.

But the fact that he says, come with me willingly. I love that he says that. Come with me willingly. Just come on, show a little. And she thinks about it. And you kind of know it because at that point, what is she going to do? And she puts it in his hand and then she starts to. This was funny, though, for me, I didn't know what was happening.

she was, this thing was happening. I didn't know if she was, like, she was starting to get the force, whatever, but she was getting forced, choked. And there's another moment to show you, like, how I thought this was going to be something right away that they were going to do, and it had been tricked, and I liked it and tricked.

When Shin has him, and I'm like, okay, she's going to turn against Bailin now, and now Sabine's going to be the impregnice, like, what's going to happen? And she's like, release her. And I'm like, okay, she's going to have some battle with them. She's like, all right. And she lets him go.

So that's her go. Because she's like, I'm pissed. But this guy's telling me, I got to let her go. So they'll pay my salary. So I'll let her go. And they take her on board. And this is when it starts to get pretty crazy for our people with Hera and all that. Because as Hera and the crew, Jason, the rest of them coming in, they see this thing.

And I love this one shot. Where's lizard face? he's over here somewhere, or whatever he is. But they reset the whole system. They're back and running. The bad guys are in charge again. And this time, Baylon destroys the thing himself. And now that it's uploaded and he's able to do it,

he's like, okay, we're good. No one's following us. We're out. And the hyperdrive, everything starts. This is droid, by the way, that Morgan's using kind of looks like a Battlestar. Joy. And she's got that smug look on her face.

that's it. So whatever this thing is, Armadillo face, they're not launching fighters. Yeah, because they don't have any interest in it. They want to get the hell out of here. And this was this whole thing, when all three of them, Sabine, Shin, and Bailen are like, what is going on here?

Because Bail even says to Morgan at one point, if your calculations are probably a second, we're going to be lost. And she's got that cocky look on her face. I know what I'm doing. And the sound that is happening with the ship is great sounds. And I love the concern on Shin's face.

I love the concern. Definitely more concern for me of Hera getting blown up from Sabine than the loss of Assoca, in my opinion. But they're right in range and she says ignore them. Just go right through them. And that's exactly what they do. They light this thing up and they fire right into these humps. And it is absolutely devastating. Like how a few of, I think only Hera, Carson, and like a couple other.

where maybe one or two ships survive, but they get smashed to smithereens. People are blowing up left and right. And Jason kind of looks at his mom and goes, I got a bad feeling. Not about this, but I got a bad feeling. He's got the Jedi instincts, man. And then we're back on that,

we're back on this shot where he, who Yang's trying to figure out, where is Osaka, Lady Tano, where are you at? And this is where we get a confusing thing for people who didn't watch rebels, I would assume, because we go to the ocean and if you look towards the left here

you see that there's the now we get into the space time she wakes up and for Rebel fans when she's standing right here you know she's in the world between worlds which was the thing that happened when she fought Vader

in the end of episode season two that's what happens there was a battle that she had with Vader and then Ezra pulled her through the world between worlds now the question is because she hears a voice

she has a familiar voice and it is of course she hears the voice of Anakin Skywalker, she turns around and she sees him. And Anakin's there and she's like, Anakin, and there he is, and then the episodes open. So the World Between Worlds is going to be a very interesting episode. The next episode, directed by Floney,

probably going to explain all of this and more. This is going to be an episode. I don't think we're going to see a lot of the other characters. I think it's going to be just Anakin. I think it's going to be just Asoka, and we're going to see different events of how things could play out and how things happen in between and playing with the time, space continuum of in Star Wars and the world between worlds and the way that it did it.

Now the question is that version of Anakin, when was that? Was that before the, it's before he turned to the dark side, like, did he not? There's going to be a lot that's going to be explained, I think. It should be in the next one, because you're going to have to explain the world between worlds to people who don't know what the hell it is. for people who've never watched rebels before

and people have no idea the casual viewer, you have to understand, you have to explain what that is. You just have to. And then the other thing I want to discuss that I know that a lot of people are going to be talking about it, I'm sure Mike and I will talk about it

in depth on Sith tonight. The CGI on Attica was pretty bad. It was like Mandalorian season two, Luke style as opposed to Boba Fett, Luke. It's just, I don't get it. because I feel it's the same team that worked on, you know what I think it might be? And I think, I think this is what it is.

It was very similar to me in the same way that with Indiana Jones, right? I just watched Indiana Jones again too, and sometimes it looks really good, and sometimes it's really jarring. This was jarring, and what's even more, what's even crazier is that they're only de-aging Hayden Christensen by, what, 17 years or something like that? But it looks so janky.

And I wonder, because when they did it for Luke in BobaFed, they completely just took a young Luke face and stuck it on an actor. But when they de-aged, both Harrison Ford and Hayden Christensen, it looks like, that's when it looked worse. I wonder why that is. but I think a lot of people are on the same page with me on this. I thought some people who thought it looked good. I thought it looked terrible.

But I loved the reveal. I love the idea that he's going to be there. And I hope that it's better. Once we get to next week, I hope that we get more of Luke Bobafebeth than we get that, which is a hope. Because even watching Indiana Jones again, it is distracting.

And it's like, okay, I've got to focus on the scene. but it's just something that your eyes are telling you, like, oh, that looks not good. And you're like, oh, wait, but what did he say? And he had to rewind it. And so I'm just, I'm going to just suspend it. And I'm just going to say, I hope that it's good. If it's not, I'm just excited that he's back.

I like that he's back. I like that we're going to see the relationship between the two of them. And that was it. That was the episode. And I think it really leads us into this episode five, which is going to be a pure World Between Worlds episode. And we're going to find, and there's going to be some crazy shit going down.

in this one, at least I think. But now I leave it to you. What did you guys think of the episode? Did you like it? Did you like it? Did you think that it worked? Did you think that it was too much battle, too much dialogue, too much, not enough this, not enough of that?

Or did you think it was perfect? And did you think that it, or do you also, what do you think about how I said that episode and four should have been one long episode? And how do you think that would have played? Curious to your thoughts on all of it. All right, make sure you hit that button. 100,000, we're almost there, we're almost 91,000.
