TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

Well, that means built-on hope. And welcome to another episode of Radio Rebello, a new Star Wars podcast. I'm your host, I bet I got that on, and joining us again this week is our co-host. He's awake, he's awake for now.

It is all T1, Kenobi, all T. How are you doing? You look a little tired out there, but how are you? It's been a couple of weeks since we've seen each other.

Yeah, I need a haircut. Ah, I'm doing fine. I'm doing fine. I'm having one of those weeks we were talking about.

Yum. I don't know why you're talking about it. That's what matters. So here, we're talking Star Wars.

You weren't here last week, you told me last week. A couple of days before, hey, I'm two-be-set-work. I won't be able to make it almost the same today, but last week I was able to do my... Try to keep it as poiler-free as possible for Renaudie, Empire, the Master's, Freer.

You told me you finally got it. I haven't gotten to it, but you're excited to get into it. Jump into it soon. I am.

I am. I've heard a lot of rave for that book, so I'm excited to... At some point this year, hopefully, find the time and sit down with it. You know, when Andrew's coming out, I think it probably ties beautifully too.

It's not something that I would tell you, you need to read it before Andrew would connect with it. This is years, like 15 years, I think, before Andrew, so you're fine. No, I am. Like, thematically?

Maybe after Andrew's in terms of that, front of the government down. I'm like that right now, after I read it, with everything I'm stopping right now, I'm 100% on Stock A Rara side right now. I understand it. I know why he went that way.

Law of a school of ours. One of the few good things about this week is that I've been completely cut out of everything that's going on. Every morning, I like to wait until like, to see what happened and get like a brief, but I haven't been paying a lot of attention to them. I barely remember that was a trailer.

You were like, I think you watched a trailer. Yeah, you haven't watched it. You're gonna watch it for the first time in a couple of minutes. I'm not in the same boat.

I haven't been SBC. I've been pretty busy. So I haven't been online as much as I usually am, so my mental health is okay. I've been keeping up with a few things, but I haven't full-on going not like people usually do, but I least I watched a trailer.

And so everything was happening in Canada. All the room was out there. I saw all of that. I have interesting things.

I just want to mention that you see like the whole office thing today. Yes, it's so embarrassing. But at the same time, I'm glad that someone finally stood up to that group and kind of pushed back. But it's what was ridiculous.

It's what are we doing? I was this country. That I saw it like enough. The 15 minutes I had like in a break, I just opened this guy.

Let's see what's happening. And I just see like President Trump's statement on events at the Oval Office, I was like, what happened? And when I found out, I was like, oh, the best thing about those videos, if you want to go back, look at Michael Rubio. He's literally like, dying, drag me down to hell.

This melting into the chair, just trying to fold into it. I really could not believe that. Yeah, we can spend a whole hour on that. But yeah, I saw some of the videos on my phone and then I saw it on the news.

It's like, oh my god. You know what's the best thing about what we just said? We didn't really mention what happened. It's super vague.

So it's going to be fun if someone discovers this like two years like what was happening in like everything was happening in February 2025. Everything. Yeah, it's difficult to figure out what's going on. Anyway, this is your first time joining us.

Thank you for being here. We will get to start with eventually. The world is burning. Yeah, that everyone knows unfortunately.

Subscribe for a channel. So you don't miss any new episodes when they drop. Like this video and comment down below if you're watching this later on the replay. Give us all your questions, comments, whatever you want.

We'll come back and check on them. And if you're listening to the audio replays, thank you as always. Give us a five star rating and review if you can. All the I see a couple of comments out during the chat.

Who's joining us today? Hello, there. They all know not today. Thanks for being here.

Okay, Andrew, we're not saying like and subscribe. I can subscribe. Yeah, thank you, Andrew. Brandon is in the chat.

He's saying, hello there, my friends. I can't tell you how annoyed I am right now with the movie news press. I swear they like critical thinking skills. I have no idea what he's talking about.

What happened? This is like majors where my kids come home. Hey, what happened at work? This is me just explaining the whole way to you.

I think I saw there were like Ryan Gosling movie comments out there. That's I think that's just from a couple of months ago. It's every time when we talk about the cat and internet interview with that line. It's everything that came before that.

Wait, did she address the retiring thing? Dude, 100%. What? Let's gonna do this.

Oh my goodness. You want us to know we'll leave that for later. We'll leave. Oh, okay.

We're gonna start. I tell you, the only thing I saw was like this. I think it was CNN. Who reported it?

Yeah. I can't remember. And we'll get to it. But I don't know.

I did not know there was like follow up to this. Dude, surprisingly, pop news didn't have the correct information. And people are really, but we'll get to that. We'll get there.

We'll get there. If you guys are ready, I'm not ready. Let's talk Star Wars and Star Wars news. Star Wars news.

Right. All right. And we're gonna start, of course, with the Andor season 2 trailer. It finally dropped.

This is coming out in what a month and a half, basically. It was two months. What? It's April 22nd.

I believe. Yeah. Because for the people that are watching, they'll see, I guess in the first three episodes, I don't think you know anything about that release. Yeah, that's gonna blow your mind also.

There's a release. Dude, this is gonna be our best episode ever. Anyway, so I'm literally in a vault. Like, my client is, I'm in a vault.

I have no idea what's going on. All right. So for people out there, this is all this first time watching the Andor season 2 trailers. So this is a full reaction from all two.

So let's go ahead and do this. Is that like Black Eyed Peas? Is it? You want to fight?

Or you want to win? This looks so freaking great. It's a party. Tarts.

Now. Krenik! Well, Krenik. This is my favorite shot in the whole trailer.

I love these implications of that shot. Grasso! The Provenize that I love. Krenik and Martna.

Bollywood? Thank you. Actually, that's K-4. Hey, your friends.

My tour? Remember this moment? Three, you're right here. And you're ready to fight.

Was that Rizamant? I don't know who it is, maybe. Dude, what a freaking vibe. Oh, good.

That was so good. Dude, I'm so ex... Like, I love, I really like this kind of crew trailer. I love the, um, yeah, I could like trailer, but this trailer is gonna be one of my favorites in recent memory.

Like, I'm so high for this show. The vibe on it from the... What's your start on the music? I know a lot of people have done some music.

They went for another, I mean, they did the same thing with Skoda crew. Yeah. I'm fine with it, honestly. I love it.

I love that they're taking risks with their music in the trailers. Like, it worked for Skoda crew to set up the ambling vibe and retro-filling, and it works perfectly for this trailer, for what kind of, it seems to be. I don't think I would mind if they used the four movie, like, a song. I just don't want it in the movie.

I think that could take me out of it. Yeah, but for that trailer to set up what's happening, it was great. Oh, wow. And the shot you said was your favorite, like, just the ship slowly, like, oh, yeah.

No, that's great. I know you've only watched it once, but initial thoughts, what's going through your head, right? No. There's that moment when Cyril Karn, like, runs out.

Is something happening in Corazon? Is it? Sure. He was from Corazon, right?

I mean, last time we saw him, he was in Corazon with the ISV, or he wanted to be there. And we seen from pictures, I think, inside the ISV office. Could they be like attacking or something? Corazon.

It's so interesting because we know so little about the sort of, the day to day event, we just know these big moments and what the big heroes were doing, but like, with Sagerara, like, Renegade groups could be like bombing parts of Corazon, like, terrorists or something. Well, actually, it ran out the empire. No, no, no. But I mean, we know from Rebels and when, and Rob Wallace, oh, so we are realized and extreme.

I said, I don't want anything to do with him, because he's having all those pocket fights or whatever. I love how much emphasis there is on the war, on this revolution in every planet. Everyone's screaming, all these fighting. Also, there's more of an imperial presence, those stone troopers without helmets or whatever they are.

Brass are getting pushed back. What's his face? Milge, or Milge getting shot at? I don't know.

Spider, do you want to win? Oh, that's so great. So yeah, I love every time we start this trade, like, watch it probably like 10 times already. We had big Santhasian, Reuniting.

I didn't think we might see that. Bix? What's a Bix? Oh, a Bix, Bix.

Yeah. I thought you said Bix. Yeah, like, Jingle's head. I also like the spy element we get at the beginning with Cass and kind of walking into all these places with that backwards shot and then blowing up the building.

I don't know. It just looks so awesome. No, it looks so, that's going to be the word cinematic. We got Moatma, she's in a party.

You were dancing? So she's dancing, just Bollywood, like she said. Then she's a little bit sad in one of the other shots. And Krenik, I mean, I think he has, he, Krenik is working into that party and breaking everything up.

Which is similar to what happened in Catalyst. Not this, because I think it was a party. I don't remember. This has seen in Catalyst, which again happens after this, if I'm not mistaken.

I think there's a party in Moatma, Sabine, what Beto Ganas there and Cassian shows, not Cassian and Krenik shows up. Really? Looking forward. I think...

It's kind of has been out for a while. Yes, we haven't really read it once. But yeah, I can't wait for this. What else?

Braco Swarsdale, Melshi, Sirokaran and Mamma. Karn was there. Oh yeah, Mamma Karn is, he was like, Kerenning out. Yeah, it's probably laughing at him.

It falls down and breaks his front teeth or something. You're still disappointed. And yeah, also why that shot is my favorite. It looks like some people are saying it's that the car and we're going back to the ancient rebellion for that we saw in the last Jedi, which was said that was an old rebellion hideout, maybe Stacar.

But to me, because those... Oh, it kind of looks like the car though. It could be, it makes sense to then tie to the last Jedi as this old imperial or the old rebellion hideout. But what caught my attention from the shot looking great with the actually just picking up and leaving.

Those black eggs, I think those are Soggya rareas, actually, that we see in Rogue One. Really? So one of them that's... Because they're black and the white stripes.

I think one of them is trash on Jedi when... They're stuck with these stone troopers. And then I think one of them is one of the two-tubes guys that takes it when they're leaving. So I think that might be so rare, going to one of the rebel-based and killing people to steal their ex-wins because we see someone's dead there in the middle of the shot.

So I think that's where part of the separation between him and the other rebel cells might come into play. By the way, I forgot to mention, I'm going to have to take a call like, so like a bit of a laugh. I'll be back. Right, so and that great scene, I guess, with so-and-so one, which might be, it'll be cool if it's a resammet...

That would be crazy. Yeah. I wasn't even thinking about it. Yeah.

You're here, you're ready to fight. It's so great. I love everything about this trailer, so can make for it. Again, like, Andor is weird to me because I never seen myself considering it at my favorite star.

We're sure, but I did love it a lot. So like, seeing the trailer was like, Oh, here we go. Yeah, I mean, I still say it's the best star we're showing. I know it'll be my favorite, but it's...

It's similar to this better than some of the other movies. I love of course, but I like the other ones better. So nothing about this trailer makes me doubt that we're getting another series out there. I think it's gotten Chris better than...

Star-and-board. I mean, it's got them crew was awesome. All right, so let's talk about the release schedule. So, okay, this is what I did.

Oh, okay, what's that? You don't know. So after that trailer was released, Lukas, we don't restore what's so put out there. We're getting the first three episodes on April 22nd.

So basically the first arc, but then every week, every other Tuesday, we're getting three. So basically, we'll get everything in four weeks. Every week, we get a full arc or a whole year, because as I'm arguing over a year, what are your thoughts? And go back and forth.

I don't like it. It makes sense. I'll see you after the first three. What do you think?

I think that's pretty freaking cool. I like the weekly release, because I think it stays more time in this. Guys, for example, she still hasn't watched it, but being able to be an entire... Wasn't six weeks, seven weeks, being telling my wife, you have to watch this.

It's great. Rather than watching it once, I mean, hey, the show's pretty good. So, yeah. But again, I always go to this, but I see it as Disney Plus experimenting.

Sure. See how people react, how it affects views in any way. I don't expect it to, though. I don't see this getting them more views, but they're experimenting.

Let's see. Yeah, first I was kind of bum, because Anders, the only star warshow that we have, that's 12 episodes up on the animated. So I'm like, man, I'm bummed to go from 12 weeks to four. But when you think about it, it kind of makes sense to give you the way the show is structured, having three episodes, be a full year, finish that story, and then go to a new one.

It makes sense to kind of, here you go, enjoy all three at the same time. I'm guessing this is going to be released at three in the morning. I don't know when I'll get around to see them probably in the afternoon that day. But I...

We've had two star warshows back to back three, actually. What? Was Akolite a 9 p.m. release?

I think so. I think this is not going to be a den of three in the morning release. I think they'll do it at nine. All right.

I know that I watched two hours. I might do it. Oh, no. I'm not doing the 3 a.m.

anymore. No, I'm older now. I'll be honest. If they do, can we see some too though?

Then they got me. You had to put on all the cameras so we can watch the reactions. Those things were fun. Like everyone watching it at five in the morning was pretty, very cool.

I only did the finale. I think that I woke up early to watch it for going to work. It was great. That finale was awesome.

I still love that show. All right. Anything out there in the comments? I think they all have.

Yeah, they all mentioned something about the music. I like that music too. Some people were thrown off by it, but I don't have a problem with it in the trailers. If we got some bunky thing, donco style, don't trailer that'd be cool too.

Yeah, they should do like a trailer with Metallica. Yeah. So Ray changed the machine there also. Oh, we're just going to start.

Oh, we're just going to start. Yeah. I'm going to start. I'm going to start.

Shadow Ring the Mouse. All right. We're going to get copyrighted. So I'm going to season two, April 22nd, unless you're going to Japan.

You might be able to watch a couple of episodes a few days before everyone else, but for all of us, April 22nd. Can't get here soon enough. All right. Let's get to those Katherine Kennedy interview.

What came before then? I know. Katherine Kennedy, oh, she's not leaving. I'm not leaving.

It says it's not leaving. Sorry, Otis. She's not leaving. I'm not leaving.

I don't know. I don't know. You all right. No.

No, go ahead. Sorry. It was a week of Rampart's speculation. How then Katherine Kennedy's future Lucasfilm, who's going to be so seeing her as president of Lucasfilm.

Park News or Park, what I would call posted something early in the week saying that Katherine Kennedy is out. She's leaving her a few months. And the thing was a lot of other outlets picked this up. Like Reputable Outlet picked that up.

I'm sorry, reporting on it. And some of them were saying, yeah, the front runner is Filoni. No, the front runner is Farroda. They threw JJ Abrams' name into the mix.

They didn't know how to fight you at any time. It's just as hopeful. Nothing concrete. Just someone telling us they should bring fighting to, but nothing official from those reports.

After a couple of hours of people, of course, just jumping on this and going nuts. CNN like you mentioned reported, well, actually, what we've heard is that this is the case. There'll be news coming, but she's not leaving right now. They'll say something when they're ready to say something.

And I like, see, people just relax. Why is everyone just going crazy? And then I think it was yesterday, deadline released and full on interview with Katherine Kennedy. And one of the first questions was, there's a lot of rumors out there.

They called it chaos that you're leaving. What's going on? And she's like, chaos. We're talking about for us.

This is business as usual. But people making up that I'm getting fired. Yeah. It's just a CSA.

So she said the request, right? She one of the things she said, well, the truth is, and I want to say just loud and clear, I'm not retiring. I will never retire from movies. I will die making movies.

That is the first thing that's important to say, I am not retiring. Dude, I had a big smile on my face reading this interview, Slay. I'm going to die making that. Wow, God bless her.

Yeah. That is the first thing that's important to say. I'm not retiring. What's happening at Lucasfilm is, I have been talking for quite some time with both Bob and Alan about what eventual succession might look like.

She goes on to say, I won't be here forever. Eventually, someone will have to replace me. Won't make an announcement in a couple of months during that year's time. But I'll be here to help them out through the whole process.

She says that I'm super losing the Mandalorian movie. I'm producing the Sean Lee by movie. Do the, she like, confirm a lot of stuff out about the upcoming movies that I... I saw bits and pieces about the Sean Lee by movie.

There's more. Simon Kingberg and all this stuff. Tyka. She talked, it's real.

Dude, yes. I wish this was revealed in celebration, but I guess she just went to get it out. It's like, basically. She said, we'll probably make an announcement months or a year out.

I have every intention of sticking around to help that person be successful. I'm already producing the Mandalorian movie and Sean Lee by is after that. So confirmation that Sean Lee by movie is the next one, which was rumored out there. It might be the 2027 to make the 50 years, who will save that story.

I'm not retracting what I said. Which is? We don't get a Star Wars scene in 2027, I think that I should leave. I agree.

And I was first saying that it was going to be the Sean A, the Sean A, the showman, or the director movie with Ray, that Ray movie. Looks like it's going to be the Sean Lee by movie. There's new, some of the Sean Lee by movie and all the other ones. So first before we talk about all of them, all five of them.

Not all five of them. I think like four, she was as, oh, it's even a lot of this regarding production projects that don't materialize. It's something you always start like, this is just business. This is what happened in production.

Things are all over. And she goes on to say, well, you just said that it's so interesting to me. Mike, that's an interviewer. Because that is the development.

It doesn't matter if you're doing Star Wars or anything else. Of course, we're going to develop lots of different things with an understanding that not everything gets made. Which is like, I think I'm explaining the film industry to someone. Yeah, I posted.

I hope this helps people understand how movies are made out of production gets made. Because that's the first, oh, they cancel this again. They don't know what they say. No, that's what happens.

And she's, I always tell people like, oh, the year about this movie, I feel like the other guy has probably had like, and Obi-Wan can all be movie scripts in her that skin. Like none of them happen. So yeah. And she mentions how we want to work with some people.

Everyone's so busy. Like timeframes don't work. And we can't hold on to it to them because to install, she's a three, four year commitment and popular actors and directors have all this stuff to do. Sometimes timing doesn't work.

And then so some info on the new movies. Simon King by Trilogi. She says we're absolutely rolling fast and furiously. Well, and is literally going to script as we speak.

We'll see something probably around June, which I guess in the script for that. So he said the same thing about the Ray movie. All right, maybe. Well, this is the next iteration.

The new saga that moves us into the future. So I'm thinking maybe that's episode 10, 11, 12, if we want to continue the numbering. Come on, that's awesome. Like, this is like she double fingers in the air and she just went off.

If she's talking like this, it's March. I think celebration is going to be absolutely crazy. That's why here her from someone is, she's openly talking about this so openly. Celebration is going to be some big announcement.

So big people are showing up. No, I'll tell you. I'll tell you. I'll tell you.

We're going to be there. Oh, yeah. Regarding production, she was asked, like, how many things are out there right now? Are you confident?

Like, we'll make it three or four. I think she said, for all the movies or four or five or so. So one of those, three or four or five. So of all the things that are out there, she's very confident that it's three or four are going to get made.

So yes, Simon King by Trilogi, the next one, to kind of lead everyone to the future. Can you make me believe that maybe the Ray movies just stand alone? And then we're going to this three or four. And celebration is around the corner.

So talking about Sean Levi, and she doesn't confirm this in their interview, but everyone's saying that Ryan Gosling is going to be the star of this movie, but she doesn't go into it. She wasn't asked about it. Well, she said, Sean is a standalone Star Wars story that will take place post nine, maybe five or six years out. And with this, it's all pretty much new characters.

We may bring some of the characters back from the sequel saga, but pretty much new characters. So we bring back five characters. Yeah. So Ray's here and Po, maybe French or well.

And then this is six years after five or six years after nine. And then we get 10 years from that one, the Ray movie kind of connects a little bit, even if it's a standalone. I just love that she's not, though I can't talk about this, I'll just wait, this is what's happening. And then this is the next one coming after the Mandalorian and Grow the Movie.

And it's not so Sean Levi, makes sense. We talked about this after the success of Deadpool and Wolverine that they were going to- That seems to be like just what the hell you want. You're all right. You're all right.

So we'll be in the poster. Yeah, I'll be in the poster. From the director, Deadpool and Wolverine. I have so many thoughts on the whole, what's happening and what's like the story.

I think it will be cool. Because I'm pretty sure like the Sean Levi Ray is going to be in it and it'll somehow feed into the Ray movie. And maybe that will feed into the assignment cover thing. I think it will be cool.

If they like played with that, we got like two standalone movies that build out this new corner of the galaxy. Yeah. Does that make sense with other reports that we're saying that Ray is the future of Star Wars? Like a little bit here, a little bit there and then the three logies, she's the star with whatever's going on.

It makes sense to start building towards them. I have a question that I want to pose that I would like to say for celebration, but I want to throw it out. I am helping on the idea that Ray, Poe and Finn hopefully Rose are all going to be back in a movie in a way. Hopefully even Adam Dry reds some point and Naomi actually like it.

But all the young ones, if we get the confirmation that the big three are coming back in celebration at the very time. How soon can I start asking the question if a certain actor is coming back to Star Wars? A certain actor that is still alive is still, I want to say young, but it's still healthy. You can still come to a set.

His name might rhyme with Yark Camel. What's your name? It makes sense if we have Ray Skywalker building a new July order. And Ray just look us there with his long hair like to come with a muckler layer.

He does add joy to help you move the logs. Hi, that's quicker. It's a good people all the time. Yeah, I had a little green guy still build this quicker than you.

It makes sense. And I hope we don't get D.H. stuff or AI or anything. No, I'm thinking him.

Like you said, I'm almost still around. It makes sense for just like Yoda showed up for a scene when Ray needs help or what it makes sense. It makes sense. Look me that helped him that much.

Just a little. Will he be in every movie? Probably not. But I know four shows as much as I would love seeing them in every single movie.

They used very particular. It's like, oh, he showed up in all three movies. He just didn't care. He just didn't get out there.

Because he's fucking over there were no rules. I'll just give everyone a warning. If we get to the big three announcement, I'm going to start then. Is it coming back?

I think I'm coming back. I'm so close to say they all coming back. I think celebration will have all three of them. How will they be announced?

Like we do a couple of times. I think I'm pretty sure it's going to happen. And if they find out where, even if they don't explain it right now, of course, that's where the movies were. But I don't drive a show stop in celebration.

No, no. I that would be like the next one. Because I know Mark Hamill said he was retired from somewhere. But again, I'll just say if Harrison Ford came back for return of the Jedi, force awakened.

And Rysus Kortner. And Rysus Kortner could be a main character in the movie. That wouldn't be so far from next to Harrison Ford. Harrison Ford is also alive in one of my ways.

I mean, it's almost night at this point. Like 80 something, but I haven't seen it. But in Captain America, he was awesome. It was kind of like, I was waiting for the Jedi to get out of my play.

I'll watch it eventually. Give me Adam Driver. Give me Ben Solo, even if it's a force goat. Or just bring him back somehow.

We'll see. No, I can see that happening for sure. I wanted to comment on the whole retiring thing. Yeah.

You put the whole, she's not leaving. I really took it as she's saying that she's leaving. When she's leaving eventually, it's not like next month she got killed by the force reported before. I think that the end is near.

Like I think we're like in the end of her tenure. From what she said. Yeah, that's what I got. And by what I wanted to mention, when I saw the news that she was leaving, it kind of made sense to me.

She, I mean, she's still young. She's 71, but she's 71. And she said she still want to make movies. Her husband is doing movies.

There's a lot of different things that she could also work on. Maybe she could go back and work with Spielberg. That'd be pretty freaking cool. But when I saw it, I kind of felt like it's time.

Like, and I think it would be fitting it maybe for the 50th anniversary of Lucas Films. She then's like, okay, here's like the new person. Like we're getting to that moment. Like she being like, this is the next person.

And using the 50th anniversary to pass a torch to literally a new generation. Because she's younger than George Lucas, but her work is so tied up to him and Steven Spielberg that she's sort of that generation. So I don't know. I had people tell me like, oh, but this sucks because that means like the dude grows one.

And I'm like, he was president. She's been president of Lucas Film for 13 years now. 2012. Almost 13.

She brought it back. She made movies. She brought Star Wars into TV. Like, like what else is there for her to do?

When she read like a contract ended a couple of years ago. And she renewed it for a couple of years to just continue. So eventually when she leaves, of course, the dude grows like on a. No, she's a victory.

No, no, no, no. You're going to see like a backdoor deal to say phase. Yeah. Yeah.

And I think just going through that interview that maybe she'll retire in a year. Maybe in celebration day and I'll say my last I want to see these two movies through. But she was, I mean, I think she's retiring as the president of Lucas Film. And she'll stay on as a producer for a couple of movies.

I'm going to be here to help where we can solve. Probably as part of her bio check that's like a trillion Disney stocks. Oh, yeah. And she'll be executive producer.

All the movies going forward to perpetuity here. She can go make a good Jurassic Park movie. I think we'll see that new one makes any sense. I'm going to watch it.

It looked just like everything they've done to the first one. I love that a lot of people that love Jurassic Park went into the trailer, came out of the trailer loving his hour back. And I'm like, OK, look, seem like the other one. I like this.

But then I rewatch and I was like, my tangent, my biggest issue with these movies. Why are we helping on the mutant dinosaur thing? Yeah. A T-Rex is the coolest thing that has ever lived.

Like why are we going to do mutant version of it? Yeah. Like velocity raptors are freaking amazing. Why do you need like an enhanced version?

No, just have the regular taken open doors now. Didn't we learn anything from the last two Jurassic World movies? I hope it's good. But I don't know.

There was something about it that maybe it was hard. But like, I don't know. It's the same thing. We'll see.

Go make a good one, Kathy. Yeah. So I think, I mean, she deserves whatever she wants. She's one of the best producers.

And at the same time, who cares? Do I know who the president of WB or HBO? Also, just give me the book. OK.

Well, it's not something piece of it. Yeah, it's a crap. And I just remember from Sony, right? Amy, whatever that.

Amy Baskow. Amy Baskow. We know how all these people are. Who's the one on Paramount?

I don't know. Who's the 824? Who's the first like? I don't know.

I don't care. Just give me the move. Bye bye. You're listening.

Shut up. Just work with me here. I'm concerned. Work with me here.

Bye bye. Previously. Anyway, she can retire when she wants. It will be eventually.

But she'll be there helping. Who's cool? Do you think I saw everyone? Oh, it's right.

I feel lonely, obviously. It's like, no. I don't want to be lonely as the president. Oh, let's say this.

It's not creative. So everyone's saying that. That's like, I think this isn't Marvel. The structure is not the same.

And people forget that. Look, it's not just Star Wars. Like in the end of the audience, they're not making a lot of movies or anything in that sense. It's not just Star Wars.

Anyway, Mango and Taika. You're ready to hear the last few bits. Oh, wait, they talk about. I told you.

Taika and Toreen were desperate. Everyone's on sand. No, Ryan Johnson. No, Ryan Johnson knew some fortunately.

That's nothing. So Dean Mango's is right in the script right now. It's why she said. And that we kind of knew, as she said, that he got pushed bad because I completely don't know.

But now that that's done, he's writing the script for that. I don't know the delay. Well, and it's unquoting what she said. Well, I keep waiting for Taika Wotiri.

And he's working with another writer now. He's so busy. I love him. I think if we ever do get a script from Taika, it's going to be fantastic.

I already saw a first act that I love. But time him down is tricky. But she's still trying to get something from Taika. She loves the first act.

But we're not there yet. This is the one. Fuck him, man. Fuck him.

I can't wait to hear that. Oh, that's amazing. So they're literally like, come on. She's going to the script.

And he's like, ah, I'll get it to you. Oh, get it to you. When I get, he's the one like, really? That's the one that I like, just, that's not happening.

And she's like, yeah, I'm also trying. He and Donald Glover are ghosting her. Oh, that's a point. Oh, man.

It'll be so funny if we ever get the Taika Wotiri movie. It's hilarious that all these directors are wearing an ounce and never got to make a movie. And there's this two creators that she's just like, give me something. I want to make a movie with you guys.

And they're like, yeah, yeah, something. I also love that from the Twitter sphere and all the fandom, a lot of people that are anti-catic candidate, anti-Disney look as we must say, call it this Star Wars. That's so funny. It's a scene.

Yeah. But it's this, oh, no one wants to work with Star Wars. It's so toxic. You know, what's going to work with them?

And they go through these whole list of awesome creators and directors and writers. And everyone wants to work in Star Wars. It's like, forget about what social media out there. It's like, people in the business want to do this.

So I love that we got confirmation from the main source. It's not anonymous sources or anything. What's the main source? Captain Kenny came out debunked some rumors and then gave information on what's coming next.

So I, by the way, I never answered the question. Who should replace her when she leaves? I honestly think it should be Kevin Feige. OK.

Again, he now is the president of Marvel, even comics. So that's more a bureaucratic job than a creative one. But I honestly think Marvel needs new leadership and some course correction and some, not course correction, but a brush of fresh air, I think, something to like, reignite that flame. Yeah.
