What's up, Steph? The Black Knight shirt. You like it? Yes. You want one? I guess you want. That's such a quick turnaround. Oh, yeah, we got it.

We got that. A few other things with the top gun guy. I think I have a top gun guy shirt for you. Have you not got one of those? No, not that. I have one of those for you. I want to get you. I want to get you the,

you don't know-ish. Yeah. I'll get you to the sweatshirt. That's coming. That's coming. Okay, a lot to talk about. Yeah. And we should just start right away with a Mandalorian man.

Yeah. So it dropped on, what was it on? This is that images from. Star Wars Newsnet, but the Mandalorian season three, the trailer dropped, and there's a lot to talk about. I mean, we have so many different images in general that from the trailer that kind of stood out. I'm just kind of go over it with Steph. And first of all, Steph, what were your overall thoughts of the trailer? I'm so hyped.

They're doing such a great job with the trailers for this show. And it was really cool to see everyone freak out on Twitter and, like, the Twitter sphere about it. Yeah, the one that got me Huh Was the was the lightsaber scene obviously Yeah, that's new It's new and it's like, well, obviously what is it? Is it?

A flashback? Yeah, it would assume so. It's got to be, what I had said in my, In my breakdown was that it's, it's got to be when they show Grogu getting rescued from the temple. Yeah.

And you got the, all the lightsabers in general, you know, whatever is happening at that time, somebody had said something, whether or not, you know, Anakin, everyone's assuming that he's going to be in Asoka, which I still think he will be, but maybe they shot something where he's going to be in Mandalorian also in this flashback scene. Right.

They could have shot something at the same time they were shooting for Obi-1. Yeah. They could, I mean, or, yeah, when they shot that scene with Rico, yeah, they could have shot, you know what? We want to also add something in here with Grogoo and then kill two birds with one stone. Why not? Because it looks really similar. It does.

There's a lot of shots, obviously, with, with din flying around the solar system with Grogo. teach them the ways of the Mandalorian, rather. But I think that the thing that really stood out was this shot with the other Mandalorians. Yes. You know like that? Like, who are they? Yeah.

Yeah, I know because you know I'm rewatching rebels and I just get so pumped about the lore of Mandelor. Yeah. There's so much to explore there. And so I'm like, yeah, is it characters we've seen before? Or are they new? Right. Are they ones that showed up in the first season?

Remember when all of them pulled up to help him? Right, right. Like, who are they? And that's, see, my thing is I, if it's a mixture of both, that's, that's fine. If it's a new character, if it's some characters that he met in that first season. But the only ones that we really learned anything about in the first two seasons and even in Boba Fett were the armorer and Visla. Those are the only two that we learned about. We learned their names.

We learned more about them. We learned, you know, they had more dialogue. The other ones were just kind of in that, in that. that fight on Navarro were just, we're badasses and we're having a big fight, but we didn't really learn anything about them. I hope that, well, that we just learn, well, Bo, yeah, but Bo's, I'm talking about in that particular sect of the ones who, the really, the religious ones with the, that keep the helmets on, like, will we learn about them?

And I think the answer is yes, that's why their, their helmets are so distinct. We'll probably learn more about him as he's, I think, it looks like in that trailer, the Babu Frick aliens are, you know, they're hiding. And some people say that that's actually on Navarro that they're liberating it. I don't think it is. I might be wrong. I thought it was that planet in Rise of Skywalker that Babu Frick is on. Oh, yeah.

And that Carrie Russell is on. And I feel like they come in to help liberate that because the trans oceans are there, like causing havoc. And then the Mandalorians come in and kind of wrecked shop. Yeah. No, I think that that is a good call. I couldn't tell where they were. When it comes to the planets, I'm like, I don't know. Is this something we've seen before or something new?

Yeah, I'm not sure. It seems like it could. Well, and then they're flying away and the fireworks are going off in the back. I think that's after they've liberated them. Yeah. That's what it seems like anyway. So that whole thing, that whole setup of the mission that it's got to happen. And then there's that amazing scene when that whatever that creature is is in the cave and then Groke is like, yeah, I've been training with Luke Skywalker, Diphead.

And throws them, you know, tosses them back. And I'm glad that they did that. They also show you that Grogu hasn't forgotten what he's learned. He's going to take it with him. He's going to be a Mandalorian that uses force. Yeah. Because at this point, he's 52, 51. Something like that.

Yeah, yeah, right, right. So. He has some years on him. Well, I mean, yes and no. He's still a baby. But yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. But he's also, he's been training.

And he trained. And you looked at what he did in Boba Fett. The big question that a lot of people and I have had this conversation on other shows on John Shoggi's story. And then the question is, because you and I, obviously, not only for our Java, we're hardcore Star Wars fans, we watch everything, right? So we knew that what happened in Boba Fett, so we know that Grogu's back. Yeah.

There are people who just watched the Mandalorian, and what they're going to do is they're going to tune in, and they're going to go, why the hell is Grogu with this guy? Last I saw him, he was with Luke Skywalker. Yeah, they'll have to. Recap. Yeah. They have to. Because they did that for, O.

be one right they ended up putting a recap of the prequels yeah yeah right they did and it was and they didn't be right because they didn't show us that at celebration but they started it they when when they debuted it it was great it was a great yeah yeah so they'll probably do that's what i was thinking that they'll probably do a recap before like a five minute recap before the season i hope so there was so much grogo like i think it's so important to his character to know that he made the choice yeah you have to show that i i mean i think that it's it's just too confusing like if it's if it's if you're hardcore fan of the show and then you tune in and he's just there like what the hell happened yeah in between so I think they'll show that I think they have to show that but um

the other stuff that they didn't show there was no Bo Catan in that trailer yeah I didn't like that no yeah of course I didn't like that um the only reason is okay is because like what you were saying after the second trailer that was released where she was like it was basically like you're not the only mandolorean yeah we know she's got a bigger part but But it's just like, you know, because they stayed away from the full story of it. Maybe that's on, I would assume that's on purpose. But I was like, gosh. I know.

So, and the other thing that I can say, I'm working on trying to get Katie into the studio. Hopefully, if not next week, the following. Or at least before Mandalorian comes out. My goal is that I want to get her to come in before. And then I want to have her come in after it airs. Yeah. Because she can't talk spoilers yet. So we'll try it.

I don't even want to try to get anything out of her, but I want to talk to her about just filming in in general and all that stuff kind of leading into and what to expect from the season, whatever she can say. And then once it's all done, then we do like a full spoiler episode. That'd be amazing.

Because I'm curious, like, I know that in the beginning of the, when they were planning the first season or two, they didn't know how integrated Grogu would be. Right. So, like, how did they know about how integrated the other Mandalorians would be like Bo's character or is it audience response like yeah it's a good it's a good call yeah because it's like how how much you know as far as involvement and that's why

I want the show to air so I can see how much you know she's is she in at one episode she's in a three episodes is she did eight episodes like how many episodes and in general what does it show for the arc of her character so we're working on that we should be I mean literally going back and forth with her this morning, so we should hopefully get her in soon. And then, yes. Was there Carl Grievous in this one? What's that? Grief Cargherne.

Carl Grievous is a great. That's a grievous's like brother who never made it. No, it's just his brother that never made it. He was like, he was like a short order cook at Dexter's grill. You've seen Carl Grievous lately? Oh, man. The B plot that didn't come. to screen.

It was me 50 bucks that Carl Grievous. Grief Carga, yeah, he's in it. And they do that. There's that whole moment from like Predator where he sees him and they do like the shake. He's clean because we saw that. I think, I don't remember if they showed like a full scene or whatever it was, but they show like it's all clean now.

Navarro and and there's that statue of IG11. Yeah. In the RG 88, right? RG 88. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I always forget.

Which one is not from Empire? It's either. No, IG-88's from Empire. IG-11 is the tycho one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. IG-11, nurse, right? So, and you see kind of his foot on, in the background of that shot,

but I remember I think that they showed, because the trailer that they showed, that they released, anyway, was not the same trailer to the extent at Celebration in D-23. I think there was a little bit more meat to it at those things. I think that for the most part,

it was all there, the one that they released, but I think there was a couple more things, I think. Am I wrong? Yeah, I was thinking that. That's why I'm in my mind right now a little confused about what was in which one, but I think that it was an extended one, but I'm kind of glad.

I don't think you need to show everything. No, I'm glad. I mean, look, that's what the intent of this trailer was, right? It was just to get people excited. And I actually think it was more so to get the casual fan excited more so than anything else. About Grogu, I think, too. Like, his back.

Absolutely, but I think... Just to like show that the show is... Yeah, because... I think it was a great show. Yeah, because I was on Campy show yesterday and we talked about this on the football play that they've been doing for trailers, right? Like, whether it's Ant Man or this,

people like, oh, what you... Right away, what you think of is, you're going to get people who don't normally watch football to watch the trailer because they really want to see it. And that's definitely part of the case. But the bigger reason that you do it is because you have the fans who are already watching it,

who are the casual fans who don't know that it's coming out going, oh, Mandalorians coming back. Or I've never seen this show and I've heard about it. Oh, that's that Baby Yoda thing they always talk about. Like my dad watching football going, oh, right, that Star Wars show. My buddy who's a big Star Wars fan but doesn't keep up with the news, oh, Mandalorians coming back.

Because it's, that's the way people, the casual fans find these things. Right. Yeah, because I do, there's probably a lot of football fans that are like, Oh, there's probably nothing on Disney Plus for me, forgetting that Star Wars is there. Right. And I do think that there is an intersection between sports fans and people who would like the Mandalorian and a long Star Wars.

100%. Absolutely. So yeah, man, Mandalorian is coming back. I'm so excited. It's going to be great. It's eight weeks. So you'll get March and April. Yeah.

I mean, it's supposed to be, I mean, it's eight episodes. So whether or not they take a break or not, they normally don't. But I'm pretty excited for the show. I think that this will be a pretty good year for Star Wars in general. And I think the more that we have discussed this, you know, they have this potential crossover event with skeleton crew, Asoka.

I am starting to think more and more that this is more fact than fiction because the fact that they all come out in the same year, the fact that it's the rumors are pretty heavy that they're going to, I think they'll set something up. And they're not doing movies. right now. They're not doing movies for a while, and this is kind of like their big event.

I think this... That'd be awesome. I think so. I think it's... Like, when you first said it, I was like, that's a good fantasy. Yeah. But yeah, right.

I know. But really, that would be such smart business for them to be a look. MCU's got the movie integration on lock. Right. Why don't we start with shows? Yeah.

And do... But, because, I mean, I remember when Mike said this a long time ago, I was like, well, of course, everything in Star Wars, is a shared universe. Yes. By,

you know, terminology, sure. But when it comes to actually setting up events that... On the same timeline. Putting Asoka in Mandalorian

because you know she's going to show up in her own series and setting things up kind of briefly and whether or not you show Sabine come in and then bring her in

because that's another question is whether that Sabine's going to show up and going to Mandelaar could open up a lot because some of the best... I think she will. Yeah, because you were saying some of the best, some of the best rebels and Clone War stuff was on Mandelor.

Yes. And Thelone loves it. Favro loves it. They know it really well. So I'm excited for it. And that comes out on March 1st. All right. Before we move on, I want to tell you guys what I'm very excited about is manscape's back.

Roxy was in here before Steph. And she gave me a compliment. She liked my beard. I almost said it. Oh, because I'm finally growing one out. And one of the main reasons is because of Manscape. It's true because I wanted to, they have this new product that I'm excited about. And it is, it is pretty amazing.

Yeah, I truly, that is one of my favorite things. See, and that was, because I was always, I was always stubble guy. It was always stubble guy. And for a while, I'm like, you know what? I'm going to give it a shot. Yeah. And Manscape was like, well, we can help. you. Well, there you go. That's a friend. That's a friend. So get yourself, use that code,

big thing. And again, I know compared to like Brett, this is, this is a disaster compared to Brett. It's coming in nice. Thank you. I'm trying. All right, let's come over into it. Let's get to Bad Batch. We should do that. Okay. Steph and I have talked about Bad Batch in the same exact way. And it is, it's like, this is, this is the thing with this show. There's some episodes that is like the mission of the week and then there's one that kind of connects the whole story and plays things together and this is an episode

mission of the week. The crew, you see this is the episode I was telling you about the kind of that just basically took the Phantom Menace Yes, yes, yes, fully. It's just, it's fun. It's fun.

I love Tech, actually. He might be my favorite character. Yeah, Tech's great. And I'm glad that he kind of had like his own little episode, but it's like, did this do anything for the plot? So I have now seen, I think that there's a total 16 episodes. What I realize is they only sent 14. Oh.

So at least to me, I've watched all 14. So I'm not going to spoil anything for anybody. We're just talking to spoilers on this one. But overall, do I think it has anything to do with the plot? Yeah, kind of, but not really. I mean, it's like just their relationship with Sid. Yeah. Like that's, that's the main, that's the main thing that I can say is, you know,

that's what they establish here is that they try to, they try to bail her out because she's in trouble. How do you feel about Sid as a character? She's rotten. Like, she's kind of selfish. Season and a half in and it's just like, I can't believe she's like a main character. Right.

Not that she, there's nothing she does that I don't like. It's just like what she really is. just a plot device. She is and I think that the the new character um and oh the like gangster guy no no no no she he he's not not the gangster guy who is the great uh Ernie Hudson but no not not him oh that's who voiced him I was like this sounds familiar yeah no not him um did they introduce yet the character I think it's in the first couple episodes it Wanda Sykes yeah yeah yeah she she is a bigger character that's cool I love one Yeah, so, and I think that she gets involved a little bit more.

But this one, yeah, you know, they go on to do some races and it's like, it's, it's predictable. The robot is, is the top race here. And the second that tech starts showing an interest at all, you're like, oh, okay, well, something's going to happen to the robot, the droid. And here's, and here's tech, and he's going to have to race and he's going to win. The droid was funny. It was, but like, everything that happened, you knew it was going to happen. And it was, it was essentially the Anakin plot where it's like, okay, you got to race subalba and if you do you win the bet yeah that's exactly i mean it's exactly what

happened is this is a recycled story right i feel like there was even the same character uh what's his name ryan does the best impression of subbo oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah it was so i mean there's really not too much to talk about with this episode it's the same even omega was like barely did anything yeah it's it's true there's like it it was like it was just just wreck her, her, and tech. And it was, it's, it was tech's time to shine. It does, be able to do it, showing the human aspect of, of the clones as much as anything else. Yeah, I guess in that sense, that's a good point.

Yeah. But it shows that a droid army can only take you so far. It's that. And I think that's one of the big things of the entire season. Yeah. It's, it's the idea that how they stand alone for. different clones that they can make these decisions to not just benefit them you know they they don't have to just follow orders they can make decisions to try to help somebody yeah um and i think

omega's been showing them that as well um and then but yeah it's just like it's one of those that's that's what that's what i mean with this show is that you get to a place with this show that there are there are a few episodes that are coming up that i'll tell you that i can't wait to talk to step and mike about because it's like if this was the show every week i would be like oh man and they do that throughout the entire season And then there's these episodes like this where it's like, okay, this is, as Steph said, this is a fun kind of little appetizer as we get ready for mandol. Right.

Yeah. Like, it was nice to fall asleep too. Yeah. And that's really all that's really all it is. I don't really have a lot to say about this. That's a problem. Yeah. That's like I can't.

I saw, I mean, God bless some people. I see people doing like full spoiler like 45 minute episodes on. And I don't know how you can talk about it. Really? I mean, I'm not, I'm, I'm in awe of it. No, yeah. No shade. That's just like, I was thinking like, what are my thoughts?

I just don't know how to talk about the show in depth for 45 minutes without, because it's like, you know, there are people who absolutely love this show. And I'm so glad. I just, there are a few episodes I will say that I geek out, that I geeked out about. And I'm excited to talk to everybody about. But this wasn't one of them. I loved a episode. Yeah, it was.

And you get a few more of those types of episodes. And nothing's offensive. So that's good. It's fun. Yeah. So look, what do you guys think? Did you like the episode? Go ahead and give us your thoughts.

I really want to hear what you're thinking of a bad batch thus for. Do you dig it? Do you not dig it? Are you feeling like Steph and I? Do you think, shut up, you two idiots? We don't love this show. I look forward to this show every week, the same way I do, Mandalorian and Andor and Obie Watt,

so don't yuck on my yum, turds. And I understand it. I get it. But what we are going to do is we've got some questions, man. We've got a lot of questions coming in from you. I got questions. All right, so give me one. This is from, I put this on the community page, I put this on my Facebook page, and then I ask, and you guys submit, and here you go. Here's the first one. This is from Ronan Unchained. Hello, Sith Council. Do you think that Dyn's journey over the next

season and possible storyline leading up to Thrawn will mirror Braveheart? I know John and Dave have used samurai and westerns as inspirations for the show, but I think if Dyn had it, his way he'd he'd redeem himself unite all man to laurence and settle back down with the widow and her daughter from season one cheers um that's a tough one because i think that the difference with like brave heart you've seen brave heart yeah so brave heart wallace yeah william wallace wanted he wanted to stay out of the fight man yeah he wanted to stay out of the fight he was william wallace started off um his dad was part of the rebellion his uncle took him he learned the layland became educated all this stuff

to and just came back to his homeland and just wanted to stay out of the fight. He fell in love and he was not going to be part of the battle. It was the death of his wife that set him into the battle. It's not the case with Din. Din's already been in the battle. Din's been part of war. He just happened to meet a lovely lady during the time and we haven't even seen her. I do think she's going to come back into play.

I just don't know if it's right away. And I think that his focus doesn't seem to be anywhere near her. He doesn't mention it. It's not a man. Grogu. and redeeming himself in the Mandalore lore and the Mandalorian culture seems to be more important to him, at least in these trailers. Yeah, I just don't see that happening this season.

I think we're focusing on Mandalorians, really, and him being a father now, like, full on. But that would be great. Like, we love that character. I love that episode. That was directed by Bryce Alice Howard, right? Yes, it was. Yeah, that episode was sick. I just, I think they put that in to see what the fans were.

would think. Yeah. And then maybe we'll get her, but I, I don't think that's... If Dinn winds up living throughout the entire series and survives the entire series,

I think it ends with him settling down with her. Pedro Pascals' face is shown at the end. He, and all of that stuff. Because there's got to be some kind of battle with the law of the mandoloreans that want to keep the mask on and then the Boca Tan crew that takes it all. Yeah, it's totally something I think about all the time.

I love his character. her so much, I think that there's a way to pull off him becoming, like, staying as religious as he is, but I just don't feel like that's who he is anymore. And so I like the idea of him questioning that and then not being that anymore. He's like forming his own form of Mandeloran. Yeah, I mean, I think that, and that's the thing that is, if he, if he's the one that winds up taken over, because he's got the Dark Saver, so if he's the one that winds up taken over and becoming the leader of Mandelaar over Boca Tan.

And even if she becomes the leader of it, the rule can be whatever the hell they want it to be. And if he decided... And so, you know, someone had asked recently if we thought we were going to see the armorer's face and I was kind of like a ston, no, it's not going to happen. Who knows? Maybe if the rule is set that all those mandolarians

don't have to follow that rule anymore, then maybe you do see her face. I don't know. She's so strict. Yeah, I know. I know. I couldn't see it happening. Yeah, I see her dying before she does that.

No, but I'm just saying if the rules were kind of set down after. I don't know. Yeah, maybe. I mean, the actress is a baddie. Someone asked you yesterday on Juncho, and I was going to, I'm glad I remembered because I wanted to ask you, I said again, a ston't know on this, but do you think that Satine is the armorer? Oh, wow. I don't think so. I don't either.

But that would be, that would be crazy. But I don't think. It would be mean to Obi-Wan. Like she was back and she didn't she didn't tell him. Yeah, I don't think so. I think Sotene really went out. Yeah, and then she decided. And then she decided that she was going to not show her face ever again after she wasn't, she was like more of a politician.

It doesn't, it didn't make a lot of sense. No, that would be so savage, so would be one. So mean. Yeah. You were alive and you never told the guy? Yeah. Yeah. No.

I don't think so, but that would be crazy. It'd be crazy. But I also think that it would be tougher that you have to explain the whole thing. I think the armor is a new character. I hope so. I actually would prefer it. Okay, let's get back to. And we know what the actress looks like.

I feel like they would have cast someone that had like that like blonde blonde hair that's a teen had. Totally. Eric Slaiby, what are your thoughts on Gabriel Luna's Star Wars comments? He seems like a massive Star Wars fan if he's in this deep into High Republic content. So Gabriel Loon, if you're watching, are you watching Last of Us? Yeah. Yeah, he's the brother. Oh.

And so he is, he's, he's, he's, great and I think that I'm pretty sure. Let me make sure that's, let me make sure that's accurate. Yeah. Yeah. Gabriel Luna is the brother in The Last of Us and he was also in Terminator. So I would, I think the comments, he's as a massive Star Wars fan. We'd love to be in it. Hey man, you can find a role for any, like a really talented actor like Gabriel Luna or anybody too, especially someone who's a massive fan, that'd be great. And so I think that we're in such a different place now

with the way social media works, that it's like stuff like this. It's different to like you and I tweet on and go, hey, I'd like to be in Star Wars. Chances of it happening, none, some of the none. An actor doing it that, like, look at what happened with Rosario Dawson. Rosario Dawson was like fancasting. I think like, it might even have been Ash Cross and who like asked her about it.

And then that clip went viral and then Faloni saw it. and Rosario would be great, and the next, you know, she's Asokaton. Right. So this is something that a lot of actors do these days. And if this is some, if Gabriel Luna is a massive Star Wars fan and wants to be in it

and they have a potential to put him in the High Republic stuff because he's reading the books, hey, it would be amazing. That would be great. I love that. Yeah, it's great. Yeah, it's a good way to use your resources. Yeah, why not? If you like it, why not?

It's not hurting anyone. And the other reason why it's going to be even more, possible is because the Last of Us is like already a mega hit after episode one. It's like everyone's obsessed. After one episode. One episode. And besides House of the Dragon, it is the highest rated HBO show in the last 10 years. Yeah.

Oh, last 10. Last 10. And it's probably going to get bigger because it like the House of the Dragon, even though it had a massive, massive audience, there's also a massive audience. It's like this too much for me. where I feel like Last of Us is kind of like not. It's intense, but it's not incestual. It could go up, but House of the Dragon just,

the show just got so much better and better. They're not going to touch House of Dragon numbers. You don't think. Not numbers. Not numbers. Those numbers were nuts. But it's going to be one of the biggest shows, like, again, in the last 10 years.

I mean, it's, but my point of all that was that that will further his clout and opportunity that if, you know, as he gets, as the show goes on. And he knows Pedro. Yeah, exactly. And if the show goes on and he says, hey, do me a favor,

agent, manager, lawyer, call Lucasfilm and tell him I'd like to have a meeting. Like, they'll take meetings. You know, that's how it works. I'm shoot,

when I was over, that's how I made Katie Sackoff. Was that silver pictures was, we were taking meetings with, they were like, oh, you know, Katie,

she's in, she's in Battlestar Galactica. and we have a whole bunch of projects over at Silver, and we'd love to take, like, a general meeting just to have a conference like. The show's great. You love to sit down and talk to it. And that's just how it happens. Like, and sure, it hasn't changed that much since then.

So if somebody wants to come in and go, hey, this guy, he plays Tommy on Last of Us. He wants to be in Star Wars. He wants to be in Lucasfilm. He wants to be involved, take a meeting. Yeah, sure, let's take a meeting. And then they find something for him and the rest is history. I bet he, so he's going to get something. I think so too.

The stars are too aligned for him right now. Especially if you're that, if you're that excited about it. And you're on one of the biggest shows on TV. And you know Pedro Postal. And you know Pedro, like, who basically runs Star Wars now. I know about that. Like, I feel like Pedro's like the daddy of Star Wars.

He is, but he's like, he's also, he's got the cush job, man. He doesn't. The best. The best. Because for Last of Us, it's him. He's on every single thing. There's three people playing Mandalorian. Yeah.

And so, and it's his. His voice. Yeah. The majority of time you see the Mandalorian, it's not Pedro. I know, but he's got the fan pull. 100%. Like, just swag. And that voice.

Yeah. He's got that voice. All right, let's go to the next one. All right. Thank you again, Eric. I appreciate that. All right. Bren Krabb.

Love all your shows. Thank you very much. I love the new Mando trailer. Looks like Grogu got upgraded to a Bessgar chair. What do you guys think? Also, you brought me back to Campi being on the shows on Tuesday. Thanks for all you do. Well, thank you.

I appreciate it. Yeah, let John know that. Tell him the reason you started watching his shows. And put in a super chat and tell him that. That's what you got to do. Put in a super chat and tell him that you start watching a show again because of me. See? That's what it's about.

I'm just kidding. No, the best car chair for Grogu. It's great. I think that the whole thing that he's going to have to be trained as a Mandalorian is another fun thing inside of it. He's getting his own stuff. And it's no longer a burden for Dinn. This is like his son. So it's a very different relationship now.

Fully. Like everyone recognizes him as his son. Yeah. He does now. Grogu recognizes him as his dad. Even knowing how he'll live him. Yeah. I know.

I know. That's sad. I love Grogu. Yeah. It's great. When they're writing together, I'm like, wow. It really turns on the maternal instinct. I'll tell you that.

Yeah. I guess most, I mean, if you're, most, most children are supposed to outlive their parents anyway, but he's going to, by that, by that, he's 50 years old. Yeah. And I don't even think Dyn's, is 50 years old. No, hundreds of years. Yeah. All right, let's go.

Let's move on to the next one. But yeah, I think that's, I think it's great. I think it's absolutely great that he's got, he's got upgrades and all that. Hunter Winghar, 15586. Do you think having Mando and Grogoo be your name? reunited within Book of BobaFet was a mistake. I've had many casual Star Wars fans asked why Grogo and Mandur were back together

after being taken by Luke. Do you think it will be explained with season three or will they move forward assuming the audience has seen Book of BobaFet? Yes, so we touched on it briefly, but I think it's a major, major concern. I think you have to do a recap. You have to.

I think if they assume that everyone has watched BobaFet, massive, massive mistake. Yeah, I don't think that. I think a lot of people had watched Boba Fett, but some people might have not even finished Boba Fett, even if they did watch it. And so even I just think that it's not hard to do a recap.

They just have to do it. You just got to see it. It's like he just said, there's going to be tons of people going, wait, what the hell in the last episode? Was that whole big finale? Luke took him what, what the hell happened? Yeah.

And then they can go, what it will do is, I bet you would love to see the numbers on it because I bet you there's an increase. in that episode, the viewers of that Boba Fed episode, when he leaves. I bet you the last few episodes go skyrocket after this to watch it again. And not even for people who haven't seen it.

I'm going to go back and watch it again. Because I want to see all that and how that played out, and that's still the best stuff in that whole series. So, yeah, I think it is going to confuse people. Do I think it was an overall mistake? I do understand, I mean, I don't love that they put them back together already. I just because it's like I know everyone loves Grogu

I get it I understand I just wanted to see what they would do to be able to let him like he doesn't now now you have to have him in the for the remainder of the series like always you have to yeah I know but that's why they did it yeah because of that type of reaction

yeah I'm like the Mandalorian is not the Mandalorian without Grogu yeah and the funny thing is when you start that show in the first episode there, and Grogo doesn't show up until the very end with the little finger, right? That's all it takes!

I know, it's true, but the show, but you were engaged in that show. For sure. I just rewatched the first episode. I'm rewatching the season one and season two, and it's an excellent premiere. It's great. And I think that that's the whole thing, though,

is that it hooked, he hooked, Grogo hooked so many people, and they were worried Disney anyway of like, wow, we're going to start this, and we're not going to have Grogo. we need some numbers here. And I think that that's why they put him back together in Boba Fett when they could have led to it

because it seemed like they were going to have din on his own adventures. And then they probably in a writing meeting goes, hey, do we have to have Grogo and him get like away from each other? Could we fit Grogo into this story? Yeah, we could, but you know what we'd have to do is we'd have to use BobaFet to show how they got together because if we spend two episodes of it, in Mandelaar in season three, then we only got six to tell the story we want to tell. Yeah.

And it's like, that's probably what happened. And then I would assume that they would go, all right, let's just put in there. And then we'll show a recap on season three and everybody would be fine because everybody will be fine. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Let's move on to the next question.

Here we go. Thank you again for that. I appreciate it. Let's go to Jay Young 8345. Do you think the Order 66 flashbacks, which were. previously caused by Luke looking into Grogu's mind means we'll get more Luke in season three. So this is a good question.

Will Luke pop up? And I, and you know, I could probably even, I could probably even lead the episode title and stuff with this is, will Luke Skywalker show up in Mandalorian season three? At the end of season two, he rescues Grogu, takes him, just going to train him in the, in the ways of the Jedi. and then we find out in Bukabha Fett, the choice that Grogu makes and he decides to leave. So will Luke show back up in this series?

My answer is no. I don't think he is. I think he's going to show up in Asoka. I think that's going to be more of the crossover with the Thrawn potential crossover event. I think that's why they set up that whole thing. Will I see you again? I think the story of Luke and Grogu for now is over.

Steph? I agree. I think we got that. insane finale with Luke in the Mandalorian. And I think that's all you need in the Mandalorian. Yeah, I don't think you need him to show back up in the Mandalorian. I think that's, you know, if you want to rely on Grogu, that's understandable because he's part of the character. He's a cat.

I don't think you need to rely on Luke. I think Luke showing up in, in Asoka would make sense. And it would also help, you know, with that whole set up scene from Book of Bobafah. Right, right. I just don't think you need him. And I think that he's, people that, well, as far as, like, you know, getting those memories back for Order 66. Groga's getting strong enough that he can do it himself.

Yeah. And can start to learn his own past. You don't need a Jedi to do it. You could introduce a new one. Yeah. But I don't think he needed it. I know. And I'm like, can he not,

maybe he can communicate with him using the force, but I don't know if he can. Maybe. Yeah. Maybe. It'd be interesting. All right. Let's do a few more.

Um, got to be a shorter show today. Sorry, guys. Just, uh, got to do a few things afterwards. Austin H. Do you think if The Last of Us succeeds and the Ackleight succeeds that we are just another step closer to Lucasfilm making a Nightseller Republic adaptation with the Last of Us model or maybe even showrunners? I say this not as one of these people, they're just like, you got to go!

I say it just because of the way that Kathleen Kennedy has run the company. I think that as long as Kathleen Kennedy is running Lucasfilm, for better or for worse, for whatever you decide. but I don't think a Knights of the Republic thing happens with her at the helm. I don't think it happens as a series. I don't think it happens as a movie. I think she focuses on other things. I don't know how long she's going to be there. But I think as long as Kathleen Kennedy is there,

I think a Knights of the Republic thing is not going to happen. I hope I'm wrong. But I just think when she's there, I don't think it's anywhere close to happening. I think that's a great question. I think that the last of us gives a lot of people hope, like video game people hope that they can finally find a way to accomplish these games in a visual.

a way that works. So I think it does move it up a little bit higher in the totem pole of possibilities, but I think it would be a long time. And that's what worries me is because the thing, like using the example of Last of Us, and I use this example on a short that I did on an episode that I did in Last of Us, what people, and the first thing I will say is, I said, this is the first real adaptation of a video game.

People are like, no, no, no, no, Arcane, no, no, no, Castlevania, no, no, Sonic, none of those, all good. They're not live action. No, no, no, no. Sonic is live action. But even, not even live action. It doesn't matter. Arcane to me is one of the, you watched it.

It's one of the best things I've seen in years. Facts. There were characters that were all pulled from League of Legends, but there wasn't a specific story that they were adapting. There were things that part of it, but not like a full-on story that they were adapting. Same thing with Sonic. Same thing with Castlevania.

They're kind of original stories inside of it. This Last of Us is a story that was taken from the game that they added stuff to and adapted to, and that's what I want from Knights of the Republic. That's what a series could be all the way through. I don't care if I know the story. I want to see the Malik and Reb and stuff. I want to see all that stuff,

and I want to see it play out the same way. It has between those hours of games, let's say it takes you 10 hours to finish that game. It's 10 episodes in season one. And you can do it that way. And I just think that they would try to go, the biggest problem, and I said this so many times now, the biggest problem in the past,

the reason I believe the video game things have failed is because these companies, production companies, producers have come and go, oh, well, they've played that before that game. So let's make a new tale on it. Look what they did with Halo. They totally dropped the ball with Halo. They took Master Chiefs, they took this thing,

and then it just made a whole new story. Tell the story that we know. Because it's like reading a book. Yeah. And it's like, I don't know. So I just don't see it happening. anytime soon, unfortunately. Yeah.

This is the last one today. I'm sorry. It's just got to be a little bit of a shorter show, as I mentioned. Sandy Robinson, hello, everybody. Love the show as always. When, if ever, do you think we'll see Ezra show up in a TV series or movie? Will we see Thron as well? I mean, that's a, I think it's a guarantee 100% that we're going to see him in

Asoka as well as Thrawn. Both of them will show up in, in Asoka. Yes, absolutely. I'm so excited about that. And I think those casting rumors of that they, the last two casting rumors are fact. I think it's Lars Mikkelson

and I can't remember the name of... Newer actor. Yeah, yeah. I still would have liked to see. I think Mina Musa, I saw the two of them. As far as look goes, they both look like Ezra,

but I think Mina Musad fills it more. If I was to guess, you'll never get an answer to this question unless it was like kind of off the record talking to somebody, I'm sure. But if I was to guess why Mina Musa Mousad didn't get it,

and I don't know, maybe he still could have, but if I was to guess, there was a lot of comparisons when Ezra was first introduced to Aladdin. And then this guy played Aladdin in live action. Like, well, we don't want to just actually confirm that it's Aladdin. Yeah. And I think that might have, I know. But it could be wrong.

Who knows? All right, everybody. Like I said, sorry, shorter episode today of Sith Council. We're getting so close to Mandalorian spoiler reviews. We're getting so close to having K. Sackoff in here for a full episode. We got a lot of great stuff coming up. So thank you for joining us today.
