Perfect. Thank you. Hey everybody, welcome to the weekly Planet's Caravan of Garbage where we look at an old thing. Is it good? Probably not, because it's old. Well, name a good thing that's also old. You can't.

Your grandad? No good. Get him out of here. You probably murdered somebody in a war. That's right. Anyway, this week, speaking of things that are old and maybe good, but they're actually not good. Great.

I decided to check out and since we're doing it's Star Wars. We're doing a Star Wars theme. A trilogy of Star Wars themed episodes. Absolutely.

Okay, great. Don't you worry about it. Alright. Just checking. Alright, so this week I decided I should check out the first episode. I have memories

of maybe seeing little bits of this as a kid maybe but I decided to check out the first episode. I have memories of maybe seeing little bits of this as a kid, maybe, but I decided to check out the first episode of Star Wars Droids, the adventures of R2-D2 and C-3PO. I believe, is this the first ever animated Star Wars piece? No, there's a bit in that Terrible Holiday special. The less said about it, the better. Sure.

Yeah. But so this week, I decided I'd check out the first one so first of all uh c3po and r2d2 great the great the great character do they get both of their voices back well look they certainly got they certainly got anthony daniels as the voice of c3po and for r2d2 i assume like a casio keyboard or something like that be weird to get out you know you get you get the call up. Yeah, yeah. Hey, you want to do the voice of this? What about... Yeah, I'd love to. What about my good old friend, Kenny Baker?

Is he... No, no. He's not a... Can we put him in like some sort of... Could we put him in a garbage cannon, have him rattle back and forth just for some foley? Absolutely. But no, the answer's no.

First thing I noticed is this... Oh, I'm going to dig it up. Please do. This is Star Wars, so you know it's going to have a great... That's the first thing you noticed. Yeah, exactly, yeah. Of course, it's going to have some great music. Yeah.

Obviously, all the Star Wars movies have... Spectacular music. Spectacular soundtrack. Even the bad movies have great soundtracks. Yeah, you've got the great John Williams and all the Star Wars movies. A living legend. From this theme song, we get Stuart Copeland from The Police. They've roped him in somehow.

And his theme song is called Trouble Again. And it's like a Huey Lewis and the News style pop song with lyrics. Great. About getting into trouble again. Would you like to hear some of it? Please tell me you've got that ready to go. I've got it ready to go. Stuart Copeland from the police, ladies and gentlemen.

They're droids that don't have any weapons. He sounds like Sting. Right? Yeah. And I have to wonder, and R2-D2 is himself, you have to wonder how they got... Slap in the face. Yes, you have to wonder how they got slap in the face yes you have to wonder how they got him and i assume they went hey stewart copeland of the police famous band the police do you want to do some music for star wars all right and this this is this came out in like late 1985 yeah and what we also got in 1985 middle of 1985 was back to the future they're

gonna say dune but yeah so yeah so and i think what they did is they went okay he went oh maybe this is my chance i'll make a little pop song this is my huey lewis this is my this is my power of love moment yes and then he's like absolutely signing the dotted line and then he's like then they're like all right here it is opening theme to droids and he's like oh what what that to me sounds like that they would have put some money behind this so the animation reflect that? For the time? You know, it kind of does.

Okay, then. Yeah. I mean, other things maybe not so much. Sure. So we open up. I've decided to provide you with a visual feast. Please do. For the senses.

So we open up in orbit of the planet Ingo. Right. Which, now Star Wars is famous for all kinds of varieties of planets. Yeah, they are. What kind of planet do you think Ingo is? Ice planet? Desert planet. Surprise.

They got me. They got you. Which is perfect, I think, because especially with the animation of the time, what you want is you want like a yellowish desert planet, which is the perfect contrast to like a yellowish kind of droid. Sure. It really stands out. You know what I mean?

Anyway, we follow like this trail of debris down to the planet Ingo. Right. And we discover a twerking C-3PO. What? He's doing a little bit of a twerk. Yeah. He's twerking back and forth. He's been jettisoned onto the planet by his previous owner, Smuggler.

When are these set? These are set before episode four. So his life is just a series of being jettisoned onto desert planets. Absolutely it is. Okay then. And yeah, so this era, they've seen some stuff already. Like they've seen dismemberments, they've seen murders, they've seen all sorts of stuff.

But anyway, so they were won in a card game by this smuggler, naming no names. But I mean, it has to be Hansel or Orlando because there are no other smugglers in the Star Wars universe. So it's got to be one of those guys. Anyway, and he's like, oh, and he's lamenting the death of R2-D2 because he can't find him. He's like, oh, you miracle of modern technology,

you're a prince among droids, I miss you kind of thing, whatever. And then bloody he comes out of the sand and he's like, you piece of garbage. I hate you. I hate your guts, you dumb droid. I hate you. But anyway, so they're like, what are we going to do? And then all of a sudden this landspeeder rocks up.

Right. In fact, two landspeeders rock up. These two best of pals. There's Thor. Right. This is Thor. What a haircut. He's a cool all-American dude of space.

Is his haircut a snake? Well, look, it's a red mohawk ponytail, and he's a man, he's a cool all-American dude who's fully committed to being asymmetrical. So he's missing half of his hair. Oh, right. His outfit's only got one sleeve. Yep, yep.

I assume he's only wearing one sock. I mean, they don't wear underwear in the Star Wars universe, but I assume maybe one sock. You know, he's only wearing one sock i mean they don't wear underwear in the star wars universe but i should maybe maybe one sock yeah you know he's he's breaking with tradition so there's there's thor and then he's his best pal jord who's funny fat guy what what is it's thor jord it took me a while to work out what is going with that guy's head but i figured it out it's a thumb yeah it's a thumb yeah right anyway so C-3PO does his classic I'm a protocol droid you know right right

he had to serve in a million languages and they're like it's an astromech droid R2-D2 get this gold thing out of the way we need this astromech droid

so they're like they pile them in there's a lot of this show has a lot of C-3PO pratfalls right right there's at least four in this that's too many

how long is this? 23 minutes that's too many could How long is this? 23 minutes? That's too many. Could have fit in one more. Okay, fair enough. That's not enough. Right, right, right. So anyway, but they're like,

okay, let's get this back to home base. Let's get Astromech and C-3PO to some extent back to home base kind of thing. But they end up going through

the forbidden zone, the restricted zone. Why would you? Well, I mean, you live there. Why would you? Exactly why would you, you live there. Why would you? Exactly why would you? In many ways, it's a real dumb move.

But all these bloody seeker droids pop out, like these floating spheres that are going to come out. Are they imperial? Is that why it's forbidden? No. We'll soon see, though, won't we? Yeah. How dare you assume that just-

I apologize. No, that's quite all right. Anyway, and they're coming up on Jord, right? Yeah. The fat party animal, Jord. And he's like, all right, oh, man, I'm done for. I've got to get out of here, right?

And he hits a little button on his belt there. Yeah. It's my favorite move. And he ejects. And his outfit expands into like a... Like a jelly bean. He turns into a giant jelly bean, a giant springy jelly bean, right?

Pretty great, right? How is he getting away with that, though? How is that faster than staying in the speeder? I'm throwing up my hands in defeat. I don't know. This thumb's an idiot. Yeah, right? But he survives, right?

This bloody droid. That's a droid? Yeah, it's like a tank droid. Okay, sure. So they're being pursued by these tank droids, right? And we think maybe it's curtains for them, but then we see they're being observed by this brave desert warrior of some sort. At a distance.

Who could it be, right? Nobody important? Well. In the Star Wars universe? Boba Fett? No, it's nobody important in the Star Wars universe. Spoiler alert, it really isn't. Oh, man.

So anyway, they're all in a heckin' bit of trouble, right? So C-3PO's like, oh, no, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll. We're just going to do, we're just going to do everyone. Everybody's everyone can only be. Everyone can only be in this universe. So they're like, oh, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, back away. I'll take care of this. And he grabs a rock.

He's a bit of classic Mr. Magoo style misdirection. I can't grab shit. His fingers don't work. That's what I'm talking about. He grabs a rock. Here's a bit of classic Mr. Magoo style misdirection. I can't grab shit. His fingers don't work. That's what I'm talking about. He grabs a rock from the ground, right? And he hurls it. He hurls it just as our mysterious figure is like shooting a laser at the tank mech, right? Yeah, yeah.

And he hits it with a rock and it explodes. And he's like, oh. I did it. I did it. And then, of course, we- I don't think droids are cool with killing other droids generally. That's what I'm talking about. There's some weird-

This show takes some weird liberties. Yeah. I mean, some do, but he doesn't. C-3PO becomes this weird man of action in this. Weird droid of action. And I do not. I don't know about it, man. But anyway, so then we see the big reveal.

The mysterious brave warrior, desert warrior, is in fact a pretty lady. A beautiful woman. A beautiful woman. Beautiful woman. Interesting. In many ways, in watching this episode, I'm like, oh, this has a lot of parallels to future Star Wars things. That's like kind of a Rey thing. But then I'm like, it's probably just a coincidence.

You know what I mean? Anyway, he's there. He's surveying the rubble, the mayhem that he's wrought. Look at the good work I did. And Thor and Jorah are like, you did it, man. You're the best. He just magoos his way through it, right? He boba-fets his way through it.

Bloody oath he does. Right. So cut to the owner of the droids, local crime lord Tig From, or as he's referred to as by his underling, Tiggy. Little son-plot, he hates being called Tiggy. I was going to say, that's not something you'd call your boss. No, well, see, that's the thing. So Tig is actually the son of a very renowned crime boss.

Oh. Size From. Size From. Size From. Yeah. You'd think it's a pun. It's one of those names you think it's going to be a pun. But it's not.

It's not a pun. I'm thinking, yeah, they would have been out of names by then, wouldn't they? Exactly, right? They had to spend like a decade thinking of more names like qui-gon jinn go on but anyway so he's like they're like oh what who are these are these troublemakers they're they're going to interfere with our plans our plans to to oh i'm so upset oh here's my upset face he looks like the the villain from bloody She-Ra Hordak yeah Hordak

I was gonna say Hordak but I didn't think I didn't think I was right he's a little bit Hordak light or pre-Hordak depending on when She-Ra came out

absolutely who even knows but he's but they're but and then here's the underling and he's all like he's also a thumb

exactly but they're like oh what were they what would these people do what were they doing here we're gonna you know they're here to oh, what were these people doing? What were they doing here? We're going to, you know, they're here to interfere with our plans. We're going to defeat all the other gang lords.

We're going to defeat Jabba the Hutt and et cetera, et cetera, using our super weapon. What is that? They built a super weapon. But what is it specifically? It's called the Trigon. It's some sort of satellite weapon. I looked it up because I'm like, I'll get the wiki for this.

Yeah. The Wookiee you made. Yes, the Wookieepedia. Very good. Thank you. Very good. Well, you know. Yeah.

All right. So Trigon 1, manufactured by the Fromgang, class weapons satellite. I know. Yeah, all right. Technical specifications, armament, planet-destroying weapon, parentheses, claimed, never actually seen destroying a planet. So spoiler alert, none of that. So these guys may have had planet-destroying weapons. Correct.

Wow. So I guess it's just freely available or they're lying. I mean, it looks pretty impressive, right? It's got that bit of a seashell curve to it. Yeah, yeah, sure. Does it shoot from a standing, like... Never actually used. Who's to say?

Right? You know what I mean? Man. Yeah, but anyway, so the boys... If you worked on the show, you're an idiot. But also, what was the... Tell me what that was supposed to do. Yeah, right?

Look, it's Chekhov's Trigon 1, you know what I mean? Yeah, sure. If you show Trigon 1 in the first act You've got to use Trigon 1 by the third act Otherwise you're just wasting everybody's time C-3PO didn't pick up that rock and then put it back down And then we never see him throw the rock Exactly, yeah

So anyway, the boys, Thor and Jord On May 10th, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes Is coming to IMAX and theaters everywhere. What a wonderful day! This summer, one movie event will reign. It is our time. Apes hunt humans. That is wrong.

Bend for your king. Never. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. Only in theaters May 10. Tickets on sale now. And C-3PO and R2-D2, the boys, they all get to... They head back to the workshop, right? And we learn a bit about Thor and Jor.

They're these two dudes, right? And they want to get in the land speed of get in the the land speed the land speed of races which are off planet right that's been their whole goal they need an astromech droid to help pilot the land speeder because that's what you need in the races apparently okay little nod to pod racing or it's a coincidence it's a coincidence right and and they're like oh man george sorry you lost your land speeder you know because you have to eject into your weird jellybean orange costume and he's like no problem

but I've still got the White Witch which is their bloody they've built a legendary land speeder the White Witch right it's got some like

goat horns on the side yeah it's because it's legendary man or ram horns yeah right and anyway Thor and the boys Thor and C-3PO

and R2-D2 they dash out for a little bit right right right and they're out for like two seconds right yeah

and then some are bloody some are bloody the gang lords' droids show up and bloody sneak Jawed away. They just grab him. They're like, this is one little orange jelly bean lad we want for ourselves. He's the best land speeder dude in the land. We're going to take him kind of thing, right? He's not the best pilot, clearly, but he's the best builder? builder i guess yeah because there's some gaps in this universe let me certainly yeah

so anyway anyway there's this scary grabber droid that looks like it's designed specifically for kidnapping for kidnapping exactly yeah well you would wouldn't you you know if you're doing a lot of kidnapping why would you yeah but anyway right so thor and c-3po and r2d2 they're like this was a little suspicious let's go back to the let's go let's go back to the workshop right pratfall nice c-3po pratfall right but then they show back but yeah so then they go back to the workshop and they're like he's gone they've taken him we're gonna get him back um pratfall god c-3po pratfall he's got a bucket on his head very good yep and then they're then they're like, okay, we've got to get out of here. But then they go outside, right?

And they go to bloody start up their one remaining land speeder. Is it the good one? No, it's the regular one. White Witch is still in the workshop, right? Okay, gotcha. But then all of a sudden they're being surrounded by kidnap bots. Bloody kidnap bots, right? Just bloody as far as the eye can see.

And all he's got is this weird weird glowing q-tip kind of situation it's a giant ear it's for cleaning your space toilet it's for cleaning out the sarlacc you know what i mean you need that right but then they're like oh what do we do right and then bloody oh wait there's a bit you might have to edit around this that's right okay so anyway the mysterious warrior lady shows up right and she's like hey it's it's me um what's her name kia is her name like the car that's interesting yeah right yeah anyway and so she shows up and she's like ray's original name was kira oh definitely a nod or a coincidence it's almost anyway so anyway so anyway she shows

up and she's like i'm just a regular person i was lost in the desert and i heard you guys mechanics are bloody i'm just here to, maybe you guys can help me out. That's nice. This is before Jord gets kidnapped. Right, right. It's before that. Maybe, maybe check it in. Or just leave it here.

It doesn't matter. I mean, in the grand scheme of things, right? You know what I mean? Yeah. Right. So they're like, oh man, Thor, you're bloody surrounded by kidnapped bots. What are you, what are you going to do? And then she's like, R2-D2, help him out.

And they grab the bloody white witch and they do a swift getaway look at that nice look how swift it is that is swift real swift you know what i mean that's as swift as it gets yeah now the best thing about the white witch is we see throughout the episode is it's primarily good as a battering ram nice like this this beautifully this beautiful sleek and elegant yeah it's just designed for smashing robots and stuff just knocking them over right and so And so they're like, okay, we've found the secret base. We've found the gang lord's secret base. It's never really established how. They just did, I guess.

They just did. And they're like, okay, we've got to get in there, right? Yeah. And so cut to R2-D2 doing a little bit of his classic computer manipulation kind of situation, right? Yep, yep. And they're like, how do we get R2 of situation. Right. Yep. And they're like, how do we get R2D2 out of there?

And they're like the same way we got him in misdirection. First of all, we never see them get him in. It's just, there's a whole scene missing. But anyway, so they're just like, all right,

we'll do that. And then they just, they just show up at the front of, they like, they like zip in front of the sentry droids the tank droids okay and then they open

the gates open so they can send out some more tank droids right right and then R2-D2 just sneaks out just rolls out just rolls out

kind of thing and they're like okay we've got all the data let's go back in again it's very what yeah I know right see they're checking out the data

okay sure let them check out the data right so smash cut 2 star wipe two. Yes. Inside the base, we've got the greasy henchman. We've got Jord.

He's in there. He's just in there cracking wise because he's a big fat party animal. Yeah. And he's like- Those guys are two peas in a pod, mate. Yeah. He's like, he gives it a bit of, hey man, nice suit. And the guy shoves him onto a seat and he's like, nice seat.

You know that classic wordplay? Very good. Yeah, it's good, right? It's pretty excellent, right? And then the gang lord shows up and he's like, oh, I'm going to send you off world to bloody work on my something or others, I don't know. Whatever I do.

Yeah, whatever I do, exactly right. And then George is like, oh, you're not the great gang lord I've heard so much about. You're just his son, I don't care. And he puts his feet up, puts his feet up on the desk. It's a bold maneuver. Bold maneuver, right? Exactly, yeah.

And he's like, all right. I might have lost my train of thought. That's all right. I'll edit all around it. No, never edit it. Oh, no, so he's like... And so our gang lord friend, he sort of spills the beans. He's going to plan to use the super weapon.

Right, right. To kill all the other gangs and then... And societies and planets. Yeah, and societies and take all their territories. Presumably, we never know. We don't ever know if it works. Yeah. So this gang lord, he explains his plot and he explains that he doesn't trust humans.

That's why all his mechanisms are like droids. Okay, sure. I build droids. I'm the best. Yeah, yeah. That's what you're here for kind of thing. Gotcha. And then George gives him a bit too much lip.

And so the henchman just shoves him over and shoves him onto the couch. Yeah, yeah. That's what you're here for kind of thing. Gotcha. And then George gives him a bit too much lip. And so the henchman just shoves him over and like shoves him onto the couch, like into the ground. And then he's like. Nice couch? Yeah. No, but then he's like, couldn't get a droid to do that. I'm fairly confident you could. Yeah.

Right? That's a pretty basic maneuver. Right, right, right. So anyway, the good guys, the remaining, they're like, okay, we're going to see. Maybe he means be spiteful. Oh, yeah, that's definitely true. Couldn't get they're like okay we're gonna maybe he means be spiteful oh yeah that's definitely true no they could also they could also they run the gamut of emotions these droids anyway so the good guys are like okay we're gonna we're gonna sneak into this base right and and kia's like how are we gonna get through this this door here like this there's no way in right and and thor's like the door that r2d2 just went

through yeah yeah but then thor's like oh no that r2d2 just went through yeah yeah but then thor's like oh no i've got it i've got a way so so this guy came back in the day to for us to to work on one of his ships one of his speeders he never came back and he just he just left this in here it's a bloody bloody lightsaber you know that you know that you know that he just just left it in his speeder yeah i mean you know that weapon that know that, you know that. He just left it in his speeder. You know that weapon that represents your journey of training to become a Jedi. Absolutely. And you build it and it's the most incredible high technology. It's the most important thing that you own.

Anyway, he just left it in his speeder. I think it was in the glove box or behind the seats or something like that. Anyway, so he just uses it to like whack down some doors and stuff. And he's like, let's get in a speeder or get out of here. And he's like, okay, Kia, C-3PO, you're going to monitor this. I'm going to go through all the ducts and all the tunnels. You've got to team up and you've got to get me through all this sort of stuff, right? Schematics.

Yeah, there's some schematics. There's a lot of... Is that like a computer game? Well, there's a lot of... Like Pac-Man. Yeah, there's a lot of flipping switches. And he's sneaking through the... Like Pac-Man. Yeah, there's a lot of flipping switches. There's a lot of... And he's sneaking through the tunnels and what have you.

And then all of a sudden, a droid shows up in the maintenance room. And Kieran, C-3PO are like, uh... And C-3PO is like, oh, I've got this. We're the maintenance crew. Hits him in the rock. And the droid's like, no, no, I'm the maintenance crew. And he's like, well, we're the maintenance crew. Hits him in the rock. Well, the droid's like, no, no, I'm the maintenance crew. And he's like, well, we're security? And then the security droid shows up.

So he's like, so we're... And then there's just a scuffle. There's a scuffle. People are mounting droids. There's just some hurling about. And then they do the classic move, I feel, which is just get the two droids to run into each other and they explode.

Of course. Yeah. What a well-built droid. Exactly right. Anyway, so Thor gets to Jor's prison cell that he's being stored in, right? Haircut gets to Thumb's prison cell. I should have been calling it Haircut and Thumbs.

God damn it. Thumbs belly bumps some droids out of the way nice into a storage closet haircut uses his lightsaber to just cut thumbs bonds open that looks like he does that real kind of loose yeah yeah exactly right yeah like for a weapon that he's never wielded before that you need decades of training right exactly just swinging it about yeah so anyway our crime lord's watching it all on the monitors. He's very unhappy. That's a very 80s thing, isn't it? Yeah, yeah.

Just like a villain watching a thing on a monitor happen. Exactly. And he's like, I'm going to get these guys. Everybody, all my droids, go to sector five. And then C-3PO does the unprecedented move of just going on the comm system and going, actually, all droids to sector six. And they're like, oh, okay. And they just zip back, you know what I mean?

He's got some skills. He's got some skills. That's what I'm talking about, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then our gang lord activates all kinds of more security systems and there's lasers going off kind of thing. But then he's like, we're going to get these guys before the lasers destroy the building.

Because he's not really thought this through you know right and then uh more security droids show up in the in the like in the in the maintenance hatch yep and c-3po pretends to be holding kia hostage very good which is a good move but also i think a very cowardly move he's not a kidnapping droid no and exactly but he is a user woman as a human shield droid okay you know what i mean right exactly right and they get away from that right and then they're like all right what we're gonna need to do like we can't escape because there's all these oh the the gang lord's like okay activate more droids i got some flying like gunboat droids outside gonna activate those get them out there yeah get them out there

and then they're all they're all covering the all the escape routes right and then they're like how do we how do we get out of this? All right, what are we going to do? We'll activate the tank droids. Right. The tank droids will go out and fight the flying droids. Makes sense. And they'll all just kill each other and we'll escape in ensuing madness.

That'll work, right? Yeah. And so they're all trapped. They're under fire. And then they're like, okay, C-3PO, you've got to activate the controls. You've got to activate those tank droids, right they send him out there right pratfall nearly so he goes out and there's this control panel and he doesn't understand it there's so many buttons he can't operate he can't lift the can't lift the panel whatever sure and he finds it like there's

a turret gun and it's following back and forth because there's just turret guns just in this building just blowing each blowing everybody up yeah i guess so yeah just slowly destroying the building right and he's like oh i've got an. Yeah, just slowly destroying the building, right? And he's like, oh, I've got an idea. And he just sort of, he goes in front of the panel and then he

leaps past it and it just blows him up. It just blows up the panel and then leaving him only with one button behind the panel that he just presses and it

activates all the tank droids, right? Amazing. And they head out into the wilderness, the desert wilderness and the tank droids, right? Amazing. And they head out into the wilderness, the desert wilderness, and the tank droids and the sentry droids and the bloody seeker orbs

and all this sort of stuff are just destroying each other, which is the perfect opportunity to just fly out through the middle of them. Beautiful. Right in the line of fire. Right in the line of fire, right? Just straight through.

Yeah. And so they get out there. They finally make their escape and we cut back to our gang lord who's very oh he's crying he's crying he's openly weeping in his seat and he's like oh i guess i guess relying on a whole bunch of droids that were programmed to kill everything including themselves was not the goal was not was not the the smartest move to have ever made right anyway they get out of there they've got their astromech droid.

They find themselves a ship. They become the new crew of this ship, right? Fantastic. And they're like, okay, we're going to get out of there. We're going to make our way to this new planet. We're going to become the kings of bloody land speeder racing. And then one more pratfall. For good measure.

I can't remember the context of this one. I assume he's just surprised by something or there's some slight movement in the ship and then he just falls out

absolutely what do you reckon of that as a show look you know what as a kids show I would have loved that right yeah

it has it's moments yeah like there's some parts you would have loved the Stuart Copeland opening theme song I love that now so certainly

I love the haircuts yep i love the the uh the parallels to episode seven i've just got here there's a character that shows up later in the series called gear kaibo rencha wow so this isn't a coincidence all of this stuff can't all be can it and then yes you throw together so many random random syllables I was going to say, it's the random syllable show. Just throw a whole bunch together and you've got yourself a whole amazing cast of characters. Absolutely, yeah. So was this a show that you would continue watching? Ooh, maybe I'll give it one more.

Yeah, but that'll be a good fun time. And re-record that song. He probably gets to it, Copeland. I reckon I could. Yeah, he lives in the next building.
