On todays show, Gathlin Kennedy says goodbye to Lukasume as new leadership is ready to take over. It's 2026 and that means new Star Wars stories, so these and more on todays episodes. So if you guys are ready, I'm not ready. Let's do it, let's stop Star Wars, Star Justice Mission.
Rebellion is built on hope. And welcome to another episode of Radio Rebellion 8 Star Wars, but just season 12, year 6 of Radio Rebellion. I'm Alberto, that's all to you over there. Welcome back, it's been a while.
I'll start off the... How are you doing? First time I seen you in... I'll sing a month.
We did the Force Awakens thing in my podcast when I couldn't come in to this one. So it's been a month, yeah. It's been a while. Merry Christmas, having you here.
Thank you, same. Same as first. I think one of your first Christmas says, away from Puerto Rico. I'm sure it's a little bit different.
Maybe. I don't know. I'm just throwing things out without really long. I actually went to Puerto Rico for like four days, five days, and I coincided with the Venezuelan invasion when they closed the year.
They touched it. It's Puerto Rico, so I thought I might get stuck, but no, I forgot to leave. Go back. Yeah.
What was I going to say? Oh, you coming in with new angles and the... I know. Look at my...
I got this new shirt. Awesome shirt on my wife. I feel like I'm... Is that a little salt?
Sorry? No, this is like Walmart or something. So cool. I feel like I'm starting a Star Wars bowling league, where I'm going to a trivia contest.
I don't know. I'm feeling the bar. You're going to a party and Star Wars celebration? Maybe.
I'm not going to go down there, but who knows? It's still two years away. We'll configure something. I read it in my office yesterday.
That's where it looks like this. Oh. I get a new bookcase. I got to figure out the lights.
You can see it's starting to get dark, and I only have one light right now. We'll figure that out. That's where we go along. This is an office.
I'm still wearing my red socks for you and three layers of clothing. It's funny. I will tell you a little bit before we start about how cold it's going to get for. Basically, everywhere in the North East or the whole East Coast and then Florida.
They're like, yeah, we're at any race right now. The South is getting the heaviest part of it, which is bizarre. Yeah. And then last weekend was the other way in terms of snowflowers in Tallahassee, South Georgia.
I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.
I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.
I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.
I'm sure. I'm sure. I'm sure. It's going down to 19, 20.
I know it's nothing for you guys up there. Whenever it goes well, it's funny I forgot. But we're getting like two feet of snow. Yeah.
Really? All right. As you guys might have noticed, we started things a little bit different today. I mentioned two out there.
He just found it out. I want to do things a little bit different here. Not like five seconds before you guys. You were watching the mall train for the first time as we started.
So that's why for the course, usually. But we're not going to be as structured as before. We're not the most structured show anyway. I just want to have a conversation.
If we just met outside head, you see what's going on with Star Wars, this news drop. Are we just talking about it with having to go our news for this? This is this. Then we go to this conversation.
Let's just talk. I will see where the conversation takes us. If we're just talking, I want to mention a quick Star Wars story that I heard this week. A friend of mine was telling me that one of her coworkers told her that he didn't like Andor season two because quote, nothing happened.
Oh, man. Nothing happened in Andor season. But that's one of the hottest takes I've ever heard. So whoever you are, you are, sir.
God bless you. How do you mean nothing happened in Andor season? It happened. I'm trying to think back.
Maybe just watch it first episode. First episode, I'm pretty sure there's a lot of things. That's why it's still the tag fighter. God bless him.
Some people don't like Andor, that's fine. But to say nothing happened. Exactly. Exactly.
One thing to say then, like the other thing, because nothing happened. Oh my God. I'm guessing they didn't watch it. Anyway, for people that did watch Andor, they didn't watch it.
But you're watching today. Thank you for being here. Like, comment, subscribe, all that fun stuff. So you don't miss any episodes when they drop.
Thumbs up. And if you listen to the other podcast, thank you. We reached 10,000 listens finally on the other podcast. So we reached that milestone.
Five star review. That's how you think of the show. And the changes will make. But all right.
All right. Who's out there as we start to get into this? We have Brennan is in the shed. Hello there, gentlemen.
Hello there. Brennan. I'm gonna begin to tell you how grateful I am to Captain Kennedy for all the incredible storytelling we have experienced in these years. We will definitely be talking about that a little bit more.
Andor would not have happened without her. Well, I don't know Brennan because nothing happened in Andor. So. Oh my God.
And they all is in the shed as always. Hello there. Hello there. Hello there.
Hey, thank you both to Brennan. I can't get that on my head now. The whole show is going to be happening. Nothing happening.
Talking about people on my calendar. Oh, man. So I'll be against. I was I'm increasing just thinking I got as always some starwares stuff out there.
Some Christmas stuff. You can see it is out everywhere. But I got this against thanks to Random House Wells. I got the I was no Red Moon.
I'll be honest and again super grateful for the people out there. I also played the game. I am played the game, which I thought I'll do a quick review. I mean, I can still embargoed rough.
I can talk about it. I'll try to be spoiler free. But I got the I got the kingdom version. I went back so I was able to do my review.
And then I got the print version. I might do a giveaway for this one. It doesn't come out to like a really second or third. So I might give it away.
I'll think about it. Cool. You want to send it to you. I don't think you can report this.
Man, I would take it, but like. This is my transition to see how much are you. No, the space is an issue right now. Forget about reading.
We're talking about spaces. Space is an issue. So if you send me a Kindle version, I'll take it. Because that was my oh, no, that wasn't particularly good.
I got a Kindle. Okay. So no Star Wars gifts. Now that I think about it.
I got some little figures, no like that. I can get one here. It's from that I want privilege. So here's one.
One of those I do. What are you called them? I think got a Star Wars gift. But it was from me to me.
Oh, hey, can't. When I got home to Puerto Rico, I had received two Black Series. They were the Obi-Wan and Anakin Coenor's with Clone Wars on the American Black Series. But I left them.
I forgot to take them with me. Oh, man. They're in my room. Yeah, they're safe.
I got somebody from me to me also. Those these new mini lights savers, they drop. I got them right there. I was gonna have them in the back.
But they're pretty cool. Little bit small. But anyway, I finished listening to the Vayne Trilogy, which I hadn't done before. It's one of the best three ways out there.
I know it's not canon. It can easily be put into canon. I really love that. That whole trailer.
You have to read it or? No. I started reading the first one. I was really liking it.
I don't remember why I stopped. That just happens to me with every single Legends book. I started them. I'm liking them.
Well, every single one I started reading. I liked them. And for some reason, I'm dumbed. I'm probably off.
So I have them in my storage. And Puerto Rico. Again, I do did the audio version for them. Every time I get a Kindle credit or an Audible credit, I'm trying to get a sour's book I haven't read.
Or I don't have any read. I thought about it. That's how I done most of my Legends books. It just threw those Audible credits.
So I was able to pass like you and I half-rate them. I get one of the other. Not being too good at this one. And the third one was great.
I was afraid that they weren't able to land it. But I took our patience. And he drew it. He was our patience the author, right?
Yeah. So yeah, I know in a lot of the Legends book, and really especially all the stuff out there. All right. But anyways, Tony, Tony, Oti, almost bought Tony.
So you want to see the label? Then it will be a three-hour show. Let's get a little bit into what's going on in Star Wars. And I know we didn't have a show last week.
But after all the rumors, look at some finally announced that Catherine Kennedy is ready to step down. I think at some point early, the first part of this year, she's leaving. As expected, Dave Filoni and Linwan Brennan are going to take over. Kennedy will move to full-time producing, which is what she wants to do.
Star Wars and everything else, whatever comes around. She wants to keep working with her husband. Very similar to Hawaii. And I think this is some weird scenery for myself.
I know most people won't care about it. When I started the show like six years ago, it was kind of a transition period. Like, right, so Skywalker had just ended. We didn't know what was going to come next.
And that's when I started the show. And I was going to our six year here on Red River. It's a new transition for Lucasfilm, Kennedy's leaving. And the way I found out was very similar to the way I found out when Disney and Kennedy took over Lucasfilm.
Through second hand, someone told me about a post on Facebook. And I found out about this. I think this dropped Wednesday night or something. I was watching TV shows and watching a movie.
I didn't from eight o'clock or seven. I didn't log back on to social media till Thursday morning. And when I saw it, I'm like, oh my god, this just happened. I got to tweet this out or whatever.
And then I started going back and people knew for eight hours. Oh, and behind us always. So it's a weird transition. I've seen it from six years ago to now.
It's still the same for me. But how did you find out about this news? I was doing laundry. I was holding some shirts.
And I looked at my phone and I gasped. I was like, oh, that's me. What happened? I was like, the president of Lucasfilm just resigned.
And she's like, why? And I was like, I didn't really think about this. Like, so yeah. That guy from YouTube told me 10 years ago.
They finally got it. And then Dave Filoni's taking over. Yeah, no, we knew this was coming. I just love the Star Wars cash on this a bit all like, on a Wednesday at night.
She's like, yeah, I'm stepping down. I'm pretty sure she said at the end of the week. So I don't know what's going on there. But yeah, on a random Wednesday.
How about we kind of resigning? And then from that deadline interview, I think she said they've been talking about this for about two years. Look, she was going to do it two years ago and then decided to stay. I'm sure they told her they just took longer that she kind of expected it to.
But yeah, Dave Filoni is taking over as creative leader, taking over the creative leader as president and chief creative officer of Lucasfilm's going to be the Filoni and then Linwan Brennan, co-president on the business side. And she's I didn't know this has been with Lucasfilm since like 1999. Yep. Started in...
She runs IELM or ran IELM. IELM became president. And then I guess she's been kind of co-president already. Yeah, she was shadowing.
She was Kathleen's intern. So basically I'm guessing her job says kind of the same. And then you bring Filoni for all the creative stuff. So it makes sense.
This is what we've seen a lot of students are doing, having two co-heads to lead the charge. I know people already are going to be a solka. We're not getting another end. The Filoni hate is bubbling up again.
I've said it when he I'm not that big as Filoni fan. I said it for like three years now, but this is his will house. The creative part, what works inside Star Wars. I think it's the best person to go with this section of this job.
I mean, I was thinking like there were two scenarios here, right? I think I know you leave and this he brought in some CEO of some company to run Lucasfilm. And that would have probably been the worst case scenario. If that didn't happen, it was always going to be the Filoni.
Like I think they're writing back when we had those rumors and it was just people raging and wishful thinking on their part. It didn't really make sense to make the Filoni present the focus on because he was just an animation director at that point. He hadn't even made Mandalorian like and we've seen him go through the ranks. Like I've seen people talk about this like it's nepotism.
Like no, we've literally seen the Filoni go from making SpongeBob. All the way to like being creative director of Lucasfilm and now being co-precedented. I think it's the exact opposite on the photos. Like he's grown through the company for the past 20 years.
Again, it's not possible to look at something. Hey, give me that guy from Avatar the last Urban or something. And now we see her. And I saw someone also talking about Lin-Wun and being like, oh, she was just a general manager of IELA.
I was like, IELA is not a separate company. Like that's probably the highest position you could get an IELA. So yeah, I mean, they're following, they're definitely following, but DC model. And that's also something we talked about.
I'm like, I'm pretty sure Dave Filoni does not want Kathleen Kennedy's job. Because like there's like a whole business side way that she's not just a producer. So once DC did their thing, this model clearly like would work in the Lucasfilm perspective. So again, I saw Lin-Wun's resume and I was like, yeah, this all makes perfect sense.
Yeah, and it's something I can go into that deadline interview that definitely did right afterwards. Like she's been talking to Filoni about stepping up. I think she says since Rogue One, like she brought him into Rogue One. So we can see what the writing and live action show would be.
I mean, a movie then from there he went to Mandalorian. All the TV shows are so good. He's so movie and now this. Like they've been building for this for what, seven, eight years now.
So it makes sense that it's true. Yeah, like people forget Filoni was not the Mandalorian guy. He was just like bare the consult and I mean slowly got a bigger role on the show. But at first it was like Fabros thing.
And then as we mentioned, we people just going nuts. I love social media because I started getting most of my news very same time. I hated when people just run with one. So maybe it was a mistake on that.
We can safely say that. When it went to May at all, this is where we get our news. That's a mistake. We got silly videos and stupid stuff.
Like, oh, am I talking about friends from kindergarten? And yeah, that made sense. Yeah, watching videos of Parrot speaking to someone. Yeah, I'll take a video about Parrot saying words in Spanish.
Oh, it's not very Spanish. I do not have a lot of words in myself. Charlie, but my finger like, no one else. Yeah.
But the way people have taken the off Filoni hates Andor. We're never getting anything like that. And then you see all the videos of him both of him and Tony praising each other. Like, dude, there's evidence.
Don't know. That's right. Tony articles about this. This is what we're going to run with.
Like, why are we spending three days with these nonsense out there? It's like, I don't know. Again, the girl left. So now they need to find a way to like bring back the hate into, into the discourse, right?
Because like, a lot of people run and hate and hate gets clicked. So they need to move to the next fake outrage. Um, I, the whole day Filoni and Andor thing is probably one of the stupidest discourse I've ever heard. It's right up there when we got those rumors of, oh, I've heard Ryan and JJ don't like each other.
Give us a bit about like, if we like each other. Like, I don't care if they Filoni likes or doesn't like Andor. Um, the second season happened while he was the chief creative officer. Like, um, I honestly don't care.
Um, and I really doubt that that's even true. Like, to start with, I could see him have a very similar perspective to what we have, where we're like, it's a phenomenal show. It's beautifully acted, beautifully written. Um, I kind of missed the laser swords and the silliness.
I think we're Filoni. Maybe didn't like about Andor. Is that nothing happens? Oh, that's true.
That's true. Yeah. That's true. I saw a meme where they said like, oh, Filoni reportedly didn't like Andor.
Quote, it lacked an abundance of characters where people can point at and say, I know him from that other thing. Oh, speaking of, for somebody's, I remember they're in my review of low red moon. So, oh, we can talk about it. Oh, wait, so how low red moon?
Came, comes out for only second of the very third. My, it's not for the reviews of our website. I haven't played the game. So put that as a caveat.
So I went into this. Am I going to be completely lost? I don't know what's going on. That wasn't the case.
You can jump into this book if you know nothing about the game. If you've played the game and pretty sure you'll pick up on things that I didn't, but you don't need to be a fan of the game or having played the game to enjoy this. It's a very cool story. Mike changed us a great job.
He did brotherhood, which was great. There's some characters from brotherhood that do show up in low red moon. I want spoil, spoilhood is very critical when you figure out where it is. So this game is about J, I mean, this novel, Jalen Braggs, which here he starts as Jalen Borussia and MB5.
The draw, that's actually draw it with the rank code. So he's there story. He's trying to find his brother's liro and that's kind of his driving force. The first half of the book is seeing very focused on trying to find his brother, what happened, why his family's legacy is kind of down the toilet.
I won't go too much into it. I don't know if the game talks about what happens. But it's that first introduction with MD5 and Jalen, which is a great introduction. The chapters through MD5's point of view were my favorite.
It's very cool to kind of follow a draw through all his thinking and processing of information and data and all that stuff. It's very awesome. So I did love that. What I, so again, half of it is trying to find his brother, but at the same time, because the book is about 10 to 12 years from where it starts to where it ends.
It's a long transition. He's also kind of having dealings in the underworld, trying to be a player in the criminal scene in Star Wars. My problem with the book was that right as he's kind of on that verge, when he says, okay, I'm done trying to figure out what happened with the past, we got to move forward. He found some information that now he can kind of really jump into the underworld, not even a chapter into it.
Something happens that goes back to finding more about his family instead of going deep into the underworld. It wasn't until the last three or four chapters, it really goes deep into the criminal syndicates that we no one loved, characters that we've seen before. If that would have happened prior, I would have loved this book. So it's a good book.
I didn't love it. I think there were some opportunities to relish. Even if it's in a couple of chapters of Jaylen and ND5 working with or against the syndicates, getting trouble with the huts, over the pikes, over the pikes, over the crumbs and down. There's mentions of all the syndicates.
There's about two pages when he's running away from the pikes and then that ends. And then at the end, one of the big syndicates comes back. I think it went away from that. But I will say, because I went back or I think Rick Villanueva posted on Blue Sky, reposted something that Mike Chen had two or three months ago, that he tried getting a lot of different characters into the book and they didn't let him, just one person from the underworld.
So I understand if he tried, he couldn't get those characters for whatever reason. But the characters that do show up, people are going to love and they see it, it's a very cool story. I just wish that the underworld part was really deep into, oh, now I gotta do a job for the huts or competing with the huts or the pikes for whatever job. Go a little bit into that underworld scene before it jump back to, I gotta find out about my brother and this codename, low-red moon elder.
That's my only critique. But it's a good book and if you and then the epilogue, it does bring people or characters from the game. So I'm guessing that people have played the game, I enjoy these more than people that haven't. But if you haven't played the game and you want to just follow these characters, it's a pretty good story, you can just straight into it.
I was not planning on reading it. I honestly found out this was existed like five days ago. But I will say, I think I noticed when we interviewed Alan Christopher, is how long or how many years ahead of time they know about the books that they're putting out. And there's some connection to the books.
So I love because there's a lot of information here on how the ISB works. There's a lot of ISB spies and that spy network. That was one of the best parts. I really didn't touch the modes on that on my initial review.
But it's very cool that we get that in Master of Evil, Alan Christopher's, Darth Vader book. There's also a little bit about special ISB organizations. And then of course, we have the reign of the Empire that goes into how the ISB and all that is starting. So I think they know that they already and those people know that this is a time of, let's know this Empire ISB transition books.
I think it's a good connection. If you like that part of Star Wars, again, and those little tidbits, we will enjoy them also. All right, so going back to Catherine Kennedy. And also with something that Brandon said at the beginning, how thankful he was for Kennedy.
What's her legacy for you, or things that you love or like about him? I mean, things that could have worked very well. What's the thing for you is Catherine Kennedy's legacy in Lucasville. Listen, Catherine Kennedy made Jurassic Park ET and The Last Jedi.
That's an all-timer and catalog there. But the last point in the years, let's talk about that. Yeah, I mean, she brought it back. B, she tried new things with the spin-offs, which one worked and one didn't work.
We've talked about this. I like all five movies that they made. Sure. I love the sequel trilogy.
I love solo. I kind of like Rogue One. So in that sense, I am fairly happy with what we've gotten. She also spearheaded Star Wars going into television, which is something I had my concerns about and still kind of have my concerns about yet.
Some of my favorite Star Wars stories of this era have been like the two- We Show's, Holy Wonka-Noby. I love the Ahsoka Show, especially like those last three episodes. She's also responsible for that. It's funny how everything bad that happens.
Catherine's fault and everything good that happens is besides Catherine Kennedy. So I think the biggest issue has been like what we haven't gotten. Like everything we've found out, especially like with her last interview, being like, you know what, I don't care. I'll tell you.
She did. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, and how much of that is her fault and how much isn't?
I have no idea. Yeah, well, never enough. What she wanted to announce and what Bob was like, hey, I don't know, said like we need to hold that stock. We just don't know.
So it hasn't been perfect, but overall like I, she brought Star Wars back. Like Star Wars was gone. Yeah. I mean, I think it's similar to you.
There's nothing else come out that I hated. And even if it did, who cares? I went through the list of just without talking about the comics and all the books. That is a movies, TV shows.
Dude, you can go on, there's like 14 different things that you can figure out. Like Clone Wars is on seven, the Bad Bats, Rebels, Resistance. Even this mall show, that's her. All the movies that happened, the movies are coming out next year, 2027 that once have been planned.
The Hieropoli. The Hieropoli, dude. It's so much tough out there that without her wouldn't have happened. And like you said, bringing it back, she mentioned that some of the highs were bringing in new stories to bring in a new audience.
That's what she wanted. And I think that's what Star Wars excel. We've gotten a lot of new fans thanks to the sequel trilogy, a bunch of new fans for the Hieropoli. And that's what they love.
I might say, Hieropoli, my reply might be my favorite Star Wars era of all time. That just happened three years ago. And Star Wars has been here for 50 years. And at the same time, some of the loads of her were this small section of very loud fans that just wanted the same type of stories, which is completely opposite of what she wanted to do.
Like I said, if we could get in the same stories over and over then, what are we even doing this for? Well, I want to touch you real quick and see if I can find it on my notes. About what you say, is it her fault? Was the hiker's fault about how much stuff got announced maybe too early?
And things are not happening because they just didn't work. She talks about anything supposability somebody's willing to take a risk. But by the way, he said, be bold when she was brought in. And I think it wasn't.
Really at the end, as we know, to the island drive and see when it's all over the movie. But she said, I've always liked that because I think you have to be bold and you have to be willing to take risks with people and with ideas. Otherwise, you are just doing the same thing. Right now, we're in an era where companies are so risk-averse and I get it.
I hear all the conversations. They got Wall Street too, please. And I get it, but I also believe that that's what contributes to things disappearing. Ultimately, I just think you have to take those chances.
So like you said, that's quite a risk like naming people, but really putting the owners on. Hey, if you don't like the things that are getting canceled or that we're not really taking risks, don't put it on either. Yeah, it's the higher ups that Wall Street or the investors, you can see. I think the acolyte, I'm not pretty sure that the cancel or the acolyte wasn't her.
Actually, you've never been going into it. So we've been blaming her for a lot. I don't think we'll ever know how much came from her, but like whoever else might be involved in those decisions. But I'm glad that she's like, hey, I'm out.
I'm just gonna put things out there. I wanted to take risks. I think I did it. I mean, things didn't work out.
Maybe don't look at me. There's other people in the conversation. Yeah, it's funny. For So We Can Definitely Play It Safe, but it was bringing back the front.
For So We Can Exactly What It Needed To Me. Last year, it was definitely a swing. And Vice-of-Skywalker, it's funny because people say it didn't take risks, that it was like this. It's just crowd service, but what crowd did it service?
Because probably no one likes that movie. So is that weirdness of the three? Because there's no stopping that movie, which is great. I think that movie is absolutely crazy and bonkers and actually crazy.
And I love it for it. So again, I think it's funny, but all those issues we had with SoLo before it came out, right? How much of that was her or Disney or Disney pushing for something and she pushing back? Again, we probably won't ever know.
But I did like that she was like, Bob, tell me this. And now he's doing this. Like, what's up with that? Yeah, SoLo.
And I love SoLo. It's one of my favorites. It's my comfort, so always movie. That's the one thing that she kind of regrets.
It's not that SoLo that way came out, just that maybe it wasn't time to replace Harrison IV. I mean, she said some things in this article that I don't agree with. We talked about AI, for example. And she talks about like, we should have recasted Harrison Fron.
Like, I don't think that was the issue with that movie. Like, I don't think that's why it didn't do phenomenally in the box office. 90% ratio, it's not something to do with it. Exactly.
So the last few guys took, I think, probably has to do with the budget of that movie. But like, all of the one of the best parts of the movie. So I don't agree with her. When she does say that Alden did a great job, she's most like people when ready to see someone else step into a sand solo.
And I understand. I don't think that was the issue with that. That's why you gotta take those three. They should say.
And I love it. I love SoLo. And I mean, the minority when I say when someone mentions Han Solo, my mind goes with that portrayal instead of Harrison IV. Not saying.
Not saying. Not saying. Not saying that Harrison IV is the second Han Solo. I just love that movie so much.
That it means. No, I love Solo too. Well, I've said it for me. Alden is a better Han Solo than Donald Glover.
When opened up with the answers to me. Which we learned that he gave a script. The script is there. Look, for the Lando movie, TV show, whatever happens, it's there.
So it's still in the docket. So who might. As she jumped, we talked about who works in Star Wars, what director might work. We hear rumors about all these people.
She talked a bunch of them. Like David Fincher, Vince Gillian, Alice Garland. Like, hi, name directors. Maybe they don't work in Star Wars.
Like, they're vibe. But also, as he mentioned, once you get into Star Wars, it's a three to five year commitment. Not everyone is ready to drop what they're doing. Or might want what might come in the future.
Just to go to a Star Wars movie. That's what producers and presidents of companies do. Take meetings and talk to directors and write it. Yeah, I mean, for me, that wasn't a surprise.
Like, I assume she was having all these conversations. I feel there's more there than I didn't get it. Yeah, immediately people go, we almost had a David Fincher start on how we didn't. But what?
And then people expected we'd get in seven and start. It's like, no, like, show. This Gillian is doing it. No, he's not.
And Alex Garland, Star Wars movie would be the coolest thing ever. But it would be probably the saddest. And just, I don't know, introspective thing ever. Imagine because we talk about the game, although the story almost made something.
You might even come into Star Wars and then those are stop motion movie that he loves doing. People go, no, it's not because this is Star Wars. You might even start with stop motion. That would be super cool.
Yeah. But yeah, like, I don't think that was a surprise. So I was laughing at everyone being like, oh, we almost had this. Like, we didn't.
Well, we might be getting soon. She went through all the movies that have been kind of recently. Except one, except like two, no, like two. She didn't talk about the Ray movie, I think.
And she didn't talk about the floating movie, right? Which is weird that those are coming from. I know that, I almost say Ray. I know that this really is being essentially there.
We're almost there. We're waiting for the script to be ready for three years now. But we'll get there. And I think all these new movies that are building up in this time frame, are going to affect that movie.
So I do believe that. Let's start with Starfighter, which is the, it's not the next one that's going by the first one that I got mentioned in the article. It's that yeah, it's a standalone movie. We went into it as a standalone movie.
But this kid, Flynn Gray, killed it. So who knows if we either show up in other stories or we continue this story somewhere else. So one point, I'm glad that we're getting a full movie. We don't need to worry about a cliffhanger or anything like that.
It's starting at the beginning of the end. But again, it's Star Wars. And we see people jump through movies and books and animation. So yeah, give me just one movie and start finding the issues up in whatever all the movies are there.
So I did enjoy that. And the big thing that wasn't from this interview was Tom Cruise apparently, grab a camera, jump in the water, and show that lights they reflect. What the hell is going on? Tom Cruise, the Star Wars director.
What the? What? What? What did you think about?
When did you heard that? I don't know. I talked about it on our show. I thought it was hilarious.
Of course, of course, Tom Cruise directed a Star Wars scene. I'm thinking we might not even see maybe gets cut and we never see his actual footage. That would be hilarious. Oh my god, you know how Tom Cruise on the press tour worked on Spider?
I'm just jumping on the, because it was the, I know that's, you know, cinematore for Star Wars, Star Wars, from Tom Topcom, Maverick, I think. Oh, okay. So maybe that's that connection went to check. And then I just can make a camera.
I'll jump in. He can't do everything. Very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very. I can't wait to see like that.
iPhone video of Tom Cruise standing in front of a movie theater being like, I'm seeing Star Wars, Spider, and the same. Yeah, the movies are back, maybe. Star Friday, man, it finished shooting. I think the post production, she mentioned that it's right there.
We've got, I don't see so much. We've gotten so a bunch of news from this movie and behind the scenes being in the show. We saw behind the scenes videos of Levy sitting, hallway. I don't know, but Star Wars, circular hallway.
And then the Mandalorian, which is coming out, talking about 20, 26, and what's next for Star Wars, she mentioned it's a totally different movie, I think compared to, to Starfighter, just something too late that Dave Crowder said that this is bigger than the TV show, more action. Don't expect the same thing. I hope so. Yeah, the shot on an IMAX.
And then I heard rumors that in two weeks, we're getting a trailer. And of course, in two weeks, it's the Super Bowl. We talked about this every year when the Super Bowl comes around, we'll always have something. And they never do.
They had a teaser for Soul and then the big one during Good Morning America. Possibly. We just got a trailer for more, which comes out in April. Do you think we're getting something in the Super Bowl?
Yeah. I think that makes sense. Like if they do it for the Super Bowl, I don't know, like, we talk about a lot about how the movie industry has changed. So I don't know if they'll do a massive push in the last month, or something like that.
Everyone's competing for attention. How many buds and seats do you get by promoting a movie? A year ahead of time, I honestly don't know how much that has changed. But this movie's coming out of me.
They have to kick the Kickstarter. It's like soon. So Super Bowl makes a lot of sense to have. It's already in the movie theater.
People know this movie's coming out. So I think a short trailer would be pretty cool out there. I went to the movies twice during Christmas. I watched Pre-Etter Badlands, which I freaking loved.
And then went with the family to watch Su-Topia 2, which was pretty cool. They didn't show it in any other way. Yeah, especially Su-Topia, which is Disney. I was surprised at doing it.
Even Pre-Etter, which is kind of Fox adjacent to Disney. But they did have the big Mandalorian and Grogo, more key in the theater. I took a picture with those. So at least it's out there.
But they didn't get to see it right there. Every single time I've been to the movie theater, since that trailer came out, I've seen it. It's fun. In the trailer.
Yeah. That's cool. It's funny. When I was a reporter, I went to the movie theater to watch the Stranger Things finale.
They showed one trailer. And it was the metal and Grogo trailer. Yeah. Okay.
Which is, we have a movie, The Odyssey, which comes out in July. And since that trailer dropped, every week I was in the trailer in TV. It stopped. I haven't seen it in a while.
It's one of those. Like you mentioned how the market has changed, how different studios want to market a movie. Like, case of a Nolan, again, this comes out in eight months from when the trailer came out. Yeah.
Push, push, push. It's kind of dropped now. But then, man, that doesn't come out three months before. The Odyssey, we really haven't seen anything since the original trailer, which was when October or something.
Yeah. But again, we've seen Lucas, we don't do this with the TV shows, especially. That's why we're not doing this differently. You don't have to, I don't know.
But the way I say you don't have to push TV shows that much, because like, it's on your TV. Like, you can watch it whenever. They, of course, go for that first. We can, those first weekend numbers, but like, it's there.
Like, you just need to realize that it exists in you. Like, going to a movie theater, you have to go somewhere. And so you have to like be aware that it exists. So again, I don't know if they're betting on the fact that like, let's just like make a big push late in the game.
So like, it doesn't disappear into the side guys. But like, I don't know. I honestly don't know. Yeah.
I mean, there's no way that I know I think that regular is on TV. So I was four months and then, okay, and then, oh, we come out in a month or two. I thought it was already on stream because it's how much have been promoted. But for example, that movie, I barely saw any trailers from that movie.
And like, suddenly I log on when they made a billion dollars. I'm like, why is Jim Cameron giving people? So I think it makes sense to wait a little bit. Like now, starting February with the Super Bowl, everyone's going to watch that.
