Welcome to another episode of Radio Rebellion, a Star Wars podcast. I'm your host, I'm your host, I've got your own and I'm your own friend, Davor. How you doing, Davor? I'm doing good.
It is. I'm very glad to be back here talking Star Wars with you. Yeah, yeah. I mean, last time you were here, I should say, they were from a larger view of the four spot cast.
Great podcast out there. You guys got to check it out. A lot of the guys know those stuff about Star Wars. But last time you were here, we were talking Star Wars Rebels.
I had finished doing my revisit of it. So who else? Who better to we hear to talk to Rebels? And we had a great show, some audio issues on our end.
But everything should be fine here. But yeah, we'd like to have you back a lot of Star Wars news to talk about before we jump into our main topic. We're talking a little bit before we started that this past few weeks, even months, start official. I should say official Star Wars news have been a little bit, there's not a lot going on just waiting for a book about it to come out.
But this week, there's a few things going on. And we'll talk a little bit about those and then jump and talk about main topic, which is looking toward the future or next year 2022, which is kind of supposed to be a big year in Star Wars, at least for the television side. But before we start talking about it, you've been doing any Star Wars things this past few weeks, kind of feeling your time before Christmas and all this. Yeah, so I have been, I mean, terms of my Star Wars consumption as I was telling you just before we got on air, I watched Rogue One this afternoon, because I have coming up, not this coming Monday, but the following Monday, I have an episode coming out for the fifth anniversary of Rogue One.
So I was watching that by way of refresher. I've also been actually related to that. Also, I not too long ago, I finished listening to Rebel Rising for the first time. Oh, nice.
Yeah, just a really good book. I really, really enjoyed that. So yeah, a lot of my consumption has been around that. Yeah, I mean, Rebel Rising, that's one of those books that I just didn't, I didn't care about all said when it came out, and okay, I already saw Rogue One, I don't need to know about this story, but I just kept hearing from people how great it was.
And then there was a law between some of the phrases of the High Republic had nothing to read. So I got Rebel Rising and Duke who I lost read them back to back and they just drove Rebel Rising just such a great book. For myself, keeping with the book theme, I finally finished Throne as an easy lesson evil, the final in this newest reality, I did audio book, which is my first throne audio book. And I've only done, this is my third one.
If you count, I did first, I always forget the name of this book and I'll come back to it. But previously I did, and I'm blanking on it, campus runner, which is an audio book, but it's more of a this forecast, which is what I really like. And I'll be honest, and I'll do a full review at some point, I don't know, it was struggling to get through thron. It's like 24 hours almost, I know that book itself is like almost 600 pages.
So it was a long, really long time hearing it. And I guess what myself, I'm kind of done with the thron stories to my to me, at least they seem very similar. There's this evil guy out there, something's out there in the chaos that no one else knows how to deal with only thron. No one in the military group really likes what thron is doing, but no one says anything, they just go with him.
And then the political side, they hate him, but they don't have a plan to stop him. And then whatever happens. So I don't know, they're just in very similar. And by the end of it, I was like, okay, it's done.
I'm glad we got six thron books, which is five to many, I think, I did love that. I'm sorry, I know a lot of people other love thron. And it's like, I understand it's a great character. The story just seemed repetitive to me.
I did love the first one. I love them in rebels. I'm looking forward to see what they do with them in the Ahsoka series. That's where we're going.
But at least they say here comes an electron book, at least for me, I'm gonna let other people enjoy it. I won't go through it. Alright, anyway, we're here to talk Star Wars. Let's say hi to a friend Dale Earthman is here, he's saying this game announcement is kind of what I want from a movie announcement.
We don't hear anything until maybe six weeks from completion that is even coming. And we'll talk about it because this came out of nowhere, at least for myself, I didn't know there were I think there'd been some rumors lately about maybe a new Star Wars game coming out, but I didn't know and then it kind of dropped out of nowhere yesterday or the day before. And for movies, I know Vauxquallen, which we'll talk about a little bit, they got announced last year, actually today, last year got announced and then a few weeks ago, it was said, yeah, we're gonna push it back or it's indefinitely delayed. And then others, other reports out there, so we'll touch on it.
So if you guys are ready, I'm not ready. Let's talk Star Wars and Star Wars news. There we go. Alright, and we tested up first.
So let's talk about this new game. So Star Wars Eclipse is this new game that was dropping one of, I don't know where it was a game conference or a game awards that were going on a few days ago. And then this new game showed off Star Wars Eclipse. And let's start with the trailer first and then we'll jump into all the stuff out there, some of these controversy with the CEO of this company Quantic Dream.
But this new game Star Wars Eclipse is situating the high republic era, which is one era that a lot of us love. I love everything high republic so far. So I was very excited when I saw the trailer for the first time. Let's talk trailer first, there were when you saw the trailer, what were your initial feelings and did you know this was something that was coming?
What did it cost you a wide surprise? No, it definitely did. I think as you said, I think about most people, I surprise, I do remember, I think right around, like right around in the lead up to like Disney plus today around that I remember seeing there was some rumor milling about, oh, we might get a game and it's going to be high republic. I do remember seeing that and then just nothing came of it.
So I was just like one of those things that gets fed in the rumor mill and then it vanishes and it's nothing comes of it. And yeah, I really didn't hear anything about this until basically right about that run up to when the trailer got debuted. Yes. Yes, yes, she has decided to to make her debut.
There you go. And I mean, in terms of the the content of the trailer itself, as you sort of mentioned, we'll talk about some controversy around the actual developer itself. But I mean, there's a lot of, I mean, the trailer is quite compelling in terms of both, you know, the visuals of what we see, we see something that might pop people speculating might be Jetta City, it kind of looks like it. I mean, the thing that stood out to me was the was the Luke Rolks, the Trade Federation ships, like, the Trade Federation, I was like, that was the thing that just like grabbed me, I was like, Oh my God, I have high Republic Trade Federation.
And by that, like the possibility out there of high Republic battle droids, which which excites me. And of course, the kind of the thing that is going over this whole trailer, which is the I guess the Voldemort species, I don't know what else to call them. They look like they're doing the drums and then whoever is rising out of the like the doon like black bath. And so I guess the mystery around that.
But yeah, I mean, it looks really, really visually stunning in terms of locations. I mean, it doesn't give away much in terms of plot, you don't really watch any idea like what it's about, or even like when it's set, because I'm talking about this on Twitter that like, we don't really know how long the high republic is like, you know, all the books and comics that have been consuming in this particular society, maybe this is like a couple hundred years before that, like we don't really know where it is in terms of all of the stuff that we've gotten so far. Yeah, there's a lot of questions. I'm just talking trailer, I didn't know anything about it.
And then I saw a few screenshots of people saying, Oh, this is a new high republic game. And then other people say, Oh, that's fake. And then Oh, no, here's the link. Oh, they took it down.
They reminded me of that Obi-Wan thing before this. They're gonna check we Star Wars kind of social media people. They're just pressing that send button too early and they're damaging the brand a little bit. And then it officially came out and they said, Oh, there's this video game, I watch something going on, it's gonna be there.
And then I saw the trailer come out and I love it. And you saw those Baltimore people at least I got good rhythm with those good rhythm going on. There's a lot of doing kind of similarities with the guy coming out of that model or whatever. But yes, that's the biggest question because we see Yoda, we saw, and that's kind of the only thing if they don't say this is high republic, we don't know the time period, because there's any more than there's those trade federation ships, there's even a boo starfighter crash, one of the lakes out there.
It looks like Jada City, we have some of those similar aliens working through. So that was one of my biggest questions is this, the hybrid public pollution, I think it's 200 or 300 years before or Phantom Mena. So it's this now 400 or 500 years before, or it's like 50 years before Phantom Mena. Because if we have Naboo starfighters, how much, how long have they been around?
Or it does the game take place for hundreds of years? Yoda's there, we don't know what age he has. But yeah, it's very compelling. It's a time period that I want to learn more about.
And I was, Oh man, I don't have a next generation console. Maybe this one that's going to push me to spend all those hundreds of dollars to get it. And I know it's hard to get one, but maybe. And then Quantic Dreams comes out and I didn't know anything about this.
And then a lot of people started tweeting out, yeah, this game looks great. But it's like this developer and this CEO that has a bunch of issues or a lot of baggage behind it, which I didn't know. And I still don't know, I'm just reading what people are tweeting there, reading some of the things that he's allegedly said against the LGBTQ community about female gamers or the characters inside the game. So a lot of controversies are there that shouldn't be said, they're not even controversial.
It's things that people shouldn't be saying that this day, age 2021 or whatever. And that took my excitement like this, because as much as I want to play a game, a Star Wars game, real life is more important, right? So it kind of pushed the game to the side and focus on what's being said out there by these developers. And then on Star Wars itself, Lucasfilm, I think this is the first kind of Lucas films games kind of that brand coming back to go with this developer with DC.
Oh, I know a lot of people that worked on this game probably don't have those same kind of opinions, but unfortunately gets grouped in the same kind of the same ball. So did you know anything? I should ask, are you a gamer? And I am not.
Yeah, it is the one part of my like the one size of my my nerddom that is just not developed at all. No. Yeah, I used to do a game do a lot of gaming when I was younger to my mid 20s, I would say, well, after I had kids I didn't have the time that would take over. So I always joke about I still have my Xbox 360 from like 2007 2008.
That's the last one I bought and I'm in 10 a week. So I still have that classic leg of Star Wars game that my kids play a little bit and I give it that control. I'm gonna play a little bit like Amy and all friend Amy Geras here and she's saying such a high to this performance moment with this game announcement. I feel the same way.
Even though I don't know, I don't follow game development. So I don't know what what the dream was, who this I forgot the name of the guy that see all that made all those comments. We kind of why are we doing this? Especially High Republic is this big initiative with a lot of creative out there with different backgrounds, different a lot of it's not the same people out there.
It's not just straight white guys doing this. The High Republic is one of the most diverse things in Star Wars. And one of the next new topic is this non binary actress actor that they hire for the high. Which is setting the High Republic and then a few hours later, this comes out.
How did this affect your excitement for the game when you saw that? I definitely like you and like the comment you just showed. It was it really just crashed immediately. It was a kind of like balloon thing where I mean, obviously, as I mentioned, I'm not mentioned to gaming, but I still would have been really interested in terms of following the game itself and the story and what we learned from it.
But then as soon as I saw, people tweeting about the company and both the comments of the CEO and then also there's some issues about workplace abuse and things like that. Yeah, that very much. Yeah, damp in mind, through is about the game. And I think it's also worth just also shouting out that there's been a number of people who have been tweeting out that the hashtag blackout star wars eclipse a lot of people are voicing their their protest of an opposition to to this game and to the developer behind it.
So yeah, I think I'm very much with you and saying that like, yes, you know, I was excited about this game and what it would add in terms of the High Republic in terms of star storytelling, but then ultimately, the real world concerns of queer star wars fans of female star wars fans who feel excluded by the developer and the comments made by the CEO. That ultimately, I think should take precedence. Yeah, I remember when this started coming out, yes, everyone comment about the comments that this person said, which I'm not going to repeat the repeat out here, you can find them if you want to ensure another nose. And some people say, well, he's the CEO, the company is not really involved in the game.
And then he tweeted out the main tweet and I said, oh, I'm so glad so fortunate to have worked on this game or have some involvement in this game. So, okay, now you shot yourself on the phone and you make your comments private, no one can respond to you and drag you like they should. And then as much as I love Star Wars and look at film, how much force on them for not doing their due diligence, should they kind of know about this before or once it comes back? It's pretty fresh.
They all this happened 38, 48 hours ago. Do you think maybe there'll be some changing that is decide to hold this game movie to another studio? Because I heard that this is still in early development. So I'm guessing games take years to come out.
So I don't know if this is coming out 2022, 2023. Maybe they say, okay, this is too much. Let's move out of the studio. Any chance that that might happen or you think we're kind of screwed, it's gonna come out anyways.
You know, again, like not knowing much about game development timelines in that whole process, if there is an avenue to course correct, I do hope that they listen to a lot of the fans who are upset by this and take that chance to course correct, move with a different studio, do whatever they can to try and distance themselves from this from this company. You know, if if it's, you know, if it's all in the bag and it's sort of doomed to now just come out because of however far along or the contracts been signed or however it goes, then I think the best move for Star Wars fans moving forward, particularly ones who are upset about Lucasfilm having ties and working with companies like this would be essentially to, you know, make your voice heard via your wallet, not to support the game. And you know, by that way, you know, making it clear that Lucasfilm moving forward needs to do better in terms of their association, either this is a situation where, like you said, they didn't do their due diligence, like didn't look into this company enough or a situation where they knew about this and decided to move forward anyway, either way, I think it was a bad move on their part. Yeah.
And it's one of those things I will never know. We're not there. So we don't know if they knew about the business, I straight people are going to buy the game or maybe they don't know. And who knows?
I've seen all the comp, because I haven't really delved down into what really happened. I know there's been a lot of complaints to this person and the comment, then other people say, no, that was kind of thrown out of cordial, disgruntled employees, of course, there's both sites or both kind of viewpoints. And I don't know, I'm just reading what I read on the internet, which take what you will from it, right? But I would say to the with caution, there are these comments out there, those issues, I'm not going to spend $500 on Xbox X or PlayStation 5 plus $60 on the game plus another controller, $700 for some to support someone that might be a very bad person talking about the queer LGBTQ community that we have a lot of fans that watch this show, a lot of friends that I have been happy on this show that I've been on the show, talk with them on Twitter, friends in so I've been pink, middle had a great show yesterday, go check that out.
And if they feel that this is a real issue, then I'm going to side with them. I'm not going to start with them. I get a follow with me, whatever. So I was going to post on YouTube the cutscenes and I'm going to know what the story so so it's tragic because I love the high republic.
I'm guessing these stories can and we haven't heard, it doesn't really matter. But and if at the same time, if someone else says I already want to play the game understand the problems, but I'm going to play it, I'm not going to say, oh, you're banned from here. That's your decision. Do with it what you will.
But at least from our part, I don't think we're going to be buying this game because I can I don't want to spend $600 if I don't have to. All right, anything else about Star Wars X list before we move on? No, all right. I should have said at the beginning, as always, if you're watching this show live, thank you for being here, make sure to give us a like hit that thumbs up button if you want if not, then whatever.
Thank you for being here. Anyways, I give you an awesome view. Leave us a comment. If you're watching this, let on the replay, a lot of other topics we're going to be talking about today, starting with Star Wars Eclipse, and then make sure you subscribe to the channel so you don't miss any of our new shows that come out every Saturday.
And yeah, let me see what else we have here. Amy Gerez, I'm fortunate to want to next and console. Amy, I'll have to go visit you and play some of those. But if this game gets released by Quantic Dream, I won't be giving my money to support this company.
And I kind of hope it won't be related to the high republic books. Same. Apart from Yoda, which is everywhere, we didn't see I think any of the high republic characters that we've kind of been introduced through the books. So we don't know how connected it's going to be.
I think like that was said at the beginning, we don't know when this game takes place. Is it hundreds of years before what we know? Is it closer to the Phantom Menace? The fallen star?
Maybe this is part of the fallen star? Oh, man, I'm so I know it's gonna be bad. Yeah. All right.
So with that said, let's move to our next topic, which is related to the high republic and according to variety, I know that outlets out there hunger game store and from the hate you give and not less than Berg has been cast within the process of being cast at the lead for the acolyte, which is this high repop at the end of the high republic. This new TV series that's coming from Leslie Headland is the show runner. And what we know is tell the beginning of this thriller, mystery thriller, the beginning of the dog side or related to the dog side at the end of the high republic closer to Phantom Menace. Very excited when this got announced last year.
And we've been getting bits and pieces the past few months about the acolyte. So we're getting closer to a big announcement. And this is as big as it gets the lead might have been cast. Do you know of Amandla Stenberg?
Have you seen her in any of her movies or TV shows? Are you excited for the acolyte? Let's talk about it. Yeah, unfortunately, I have not watched them in anything.
So I don't have any familiarity with their acting career in that way. But I am definitely excited for the acolyte. And yeah, I mean, as always, you mentioned, you know, I got teased as this story that is happening at the kind of tail end of the high republic. So we have this idea that it might be this, it might be the show that's going to be a kind of turning point from the high republic as we know it now and as well continue to know as new books and stuff comes out into the Skywalker saga period until like the Phantom Menace period.
So I'm really interested to see, yeah, just thinking and like what it's about how you're going to do that. Like, is it going to be about the emergence, Sith or just? Yeah, so yeah, I'm really, I really start to see where it is. I mean, everything that we've gotten from just like what the premise is to the fact that it's being headed by Leslie Hedlund who's done very, you know, very sort of outside the box things.
I mean, really does suggest that this is going to be a very unique show within the kind of catalog of Star Wars TV. Yeah, so let's let's we had learned the was a show runner for the Russian doll, I think the name of the Netflix show. Obviously, I didn't finish it, not because I didn't like it. I wasn't joined it.
I probably got about four or five episodes into it. Very kind of different taking to reliving the same periods of the night. Very funny. And it's something I haven't seen in Star Wars that cannot take and the icon itself is another thing that we haven't seen in Star Wars, the show kind of focused mostly on villains or the bad guys, right?
From the outside, this mystery thriller, which again, it's not I think we've seen Star Wars in the high republic at the end of it is this kind of how the Sith coming back into it because in the Phantom Menace is I believe in Phantom Menace, they say, Oh, the Sith have been extinct for a thousand years. So we haven't seen whatever that quote is. So how did they come back into play? Are we gonna see a young Palpatine in this?
Is this when they bring Matt Smith in that we've been waiting? He's been lying for years. He knew he's going into the act like. But and then we get a man, I'm not laughing and pronouncing that right, Stenberg casting this.
And it's okay, it's getting real. Here we go. And then it's when you see we're talking about Luke answering before they take a step forward by hiring a non binary actor into this. And a few hours later, then we get Quantum Dreams and all that other thing behind us is like, Okay, dude, you're going the right direction.
And now you're back where you were before you know how much are you really invested in moving forward. And that's what's disappointed. But really interested and excited for this show. When it got announced last year, this jump to probably top of my list of the most, one of the most, I'm looking out there, which we're gonna talk about later.
So we're excited for the actual, like, relax side that we're getting more news about this. Do you think I don't know how much on Twitter, your social media, I think two days ago, three days I'll cloud your gray, and this is just maybe putting my detect my Sherlock Holmes hat cannot say, Oh, next Wednesday, there's a big announcement. That was it. No idea.
Maybe it's not even Star Wars, but it's a Star Wars show. And people say, No, maybe a lot of stars too, which we've been clamoring for years, maybe. But then I said, okay, so we got this announcement, which is not official. Let's say by Lukas film, but this announcement for the acolyte for a month last then bird, then we got Eclipse, which is also the high Republic.
And then on Tuesday or next week on this bring home the bounty campaign that they've been doing for weeks to post a video game, one which maybe starts with clips. And then Wednesday, clear the gray has an announcement. And I said, Oh, maybe she's gonna write a novel between the acolyte and this eclipse game that kind of bridges the, the closer the gap, I should say bridges the gap between the acolyte between eclipse and the alkalines is writing something, hopefully. And this this makes speculation.
Do you I don't know anything there? I saw that tweet too. I mean, I always try to temper expectations like there's if I were a betting person, I might think this is something non Star Wars related to doing. I mean, if it were lost, ours too, I would genuinely just lose.
Yeah, I think that's as if we were betting persons, which were not at least many, because I will be in the on the streets. That's the safest bet. And probably the best one. I love Lost Stars just as everyone else.
It's not at the top of my favorite books, but I think it's the best Star Wars book out there. The only one that I've actually cried at one point. And we've all been clamoring for Lost Stars to and I would say because a lot of other Star Wars authors every time they say, Oh, I got a big announcement, I'm working on something that was with non Star Wars, so people don't jump on them. She didn't.
And again, I don't know how she does Twitter. I mean, anything plug that I'm gonna be excited. So we'll see Lost Stars to man. Oh, man.
Yeah. I just want to go back to Dale who was saying, I don't follow the game production either. So it sounds like my point of view doesn't make a lot of points. Again, we're all in the same kind of boat.
We don't follow game development or game production either. So we don't know we were all caught by surprise and we went kind of this rollercoaster of emotion. So all right. And my friend Mo is here.
What's up, fan Mo? You may you miss them or saying that he was watching Rogue One before we started. So she loves Rogue One. That's her thing.
So all right. And Amy saying Star Wars social media will melt down if I lost Star sequels and else is announced. But I should suspect it's something on Star Wars. We'll see only what four or five days we'll find out.
So yeah, so let's move on to our final news of the day and it's related to Rogue Squadron. I'm gonna do my best lot of the rings impression because we're at 20 years of fellowship with the rings coming out. Although this happened in the two towers, it looks like Rogue Squadron is back on the menu, boys. There you go.
That's my, that's my or archiver. My orchiser. Then I have all some golling building me for stability. Try to got me.
Anyways, I should do a lot of the rings. Anyway, we're digressing. So Rogue Squadron, like we mentioned a little bit at the beginning, I think was maybe two weeks, three weeks ago, it was one of the few official Star Wars news, what hey, Parigian Kings is extremely busy with Hello, Para, Wonder Woman 3, and who knows what else this is going to be definitely, indefinitely delayed. And people just lost it.
Here we go again, Lucas Women's Star Wars announcing things and counseling Mo issue with the directors. They don't know what they're doing. And then about three days ago, a news came out that she's stepping out from Kilpatrick, the other things she's doing. She said, I'm not going to be a director for Kilpatrick.
I'm just going to produce it so she can focus super slowly, then Wonder Woman 3 and Rogue Squadron. We don't know which one comes first, but now this kind of brings back Rogue Squadron to the forefront. Nothing official from Lucas Film that this is back on. But do you think this might be maybe not 2023, which was the original announcement, but do you think we might see a little bit sooner that we thought a few weeks ago?
Yeah, I mean, in terms of when it's coming out, I'm even though we had this development now where it's kind of back into play. I'm skeptical about 2023. That was like a very quick turnaround if we are now basically at New Year's 2022. And we don't have any indication that anyone's even sort of writing this movie yet, let alone doing anything else in terms of any other pre production work, never mind production.
So I have a feeling that in all likelihood, it is going to get probably pushed to maybe 24 or 20, maybe the whole calendar get who knows, because yeah, that's going to butt up against I think we have something in 2025, there's supposed to be a Star Wars movie coming out, a lot of people speculate is that the Tycho Waititi movie, they know that one that was like 20 things going on. So who knows? Yeah, it's another person who was like, yeah, who was committed to the extreme. So yeah, I do not at this stage, I do not think that they're going to make the 2023 mark.
But I think this news is positive that we will get rogue squadron at some point. Yeah, same, I doubt there's going to 23 even seems seem too close before they said it's gonna be delayed. Because like you said, I believe that she's writing it maybe her with someone else. But for a movie that's supposed to come out two years from now, this time period, two years and nothing's been really out there, since a little far-fetched.
So okay, makes sense, delayed, whatever. But seeing that now she has a little bit of free time, then maybe that 2025 as you say, because there's rumors out there that 2023 now is gonna be an old republic or Harry public who knows again, this secret movie that no one knows about that they've been working on supposedly. And then maybe 2025 when we get rock squad, and which is fine, because as we're gonna be talking about a few minutes 2022 is filled to the brain with Star Wars TV shows and books and more surprises that we still don't know about. And then a lot of these series will get follow up season so 2023 is gonna be booked up anyways.
So if we have to wait an extra year, maybe for rock squadron, it's fine. I think it's fine. I can take your time, do the best movie that you can, don't get kind of bogged down by the release schedule, just push it. People are gonna go see it, especially if they dedicate their time to it.
So I'm fine if it comes a little bit later. But I'm also excited that it seems to be coming a little bit back to the forefront and not just push back and forgotten, because this is another thing that's different from the Star Wars movies that we've gotten before. So I really want to see it and see what she kind of brings to the Star Wars universe. So really excited for Harry Jenkins to kind of be able to do this movie, which she says is kind of a disloyal letter to her father and all that stuff.
So yeah, let's let her have her fun with Star Wars. All right, so as we are getting closer to our main topic, let's all you guys out in the chat again, just let us know in the chat any of these topics we've talked so far. If you miss them, just let us know. We'll come back and revisit them about the Star Wars Eclipse game where you excited when you saw that trailer, then then use of our content dream.
I'm at Las Demberbing cast in the acolyte. Are you excited for that show? And of course, Rock Squadron. But as we get close to the end of 2021, so ready the end of 2021, I don't even know what to say at this point.
But 2022 is out there. And Star Wars, I think was again, at this time last year, their big announcement of all the new shows that were coming out. And a lot of them are coming out in 2022. So do we think that 2022 is going to be the biggest year in Star Wars yet?
Let's find out. Hi, Devor. So let's start first before we jump into 2022. Give me your overall quick one minute, two minute feelings of 2021 in Star Wars.
Everything that we got this year. What is your feeling coming to the end of the year? I think it was a really strong year for Star Wars. I mean, we had of course the launch of the High Republic.
And I think that has gone really, really well into how the books and the comics have received. In terms of, you know, we've seen a lot of these books and stuff hitting best-seller charts. So I think that's been really good. I think we've seen a lot of great storytelling in terms of Star Wars television that we got in so far.
I think Bad Batch Season 1 was very good. I loved Star Wars visions. I think that was a really, really great contribution to Star Wars and really illustrated just some of the creativity and bringing in new studios and using Star Wars in these ways that we hadn't seen before. And I think that was really compelling.
And of course, you know, we will get, I mean, it's still technically in 2021, even though it's just like barely cling on, but we got a book of Boba Fett to look forward to at the end of this month. So I think for all the end of this, there's a bunch of other stuff that I haven't mentioned, whether it's the Thrawn books and things like that. But I think it's been, I think it was a really, really good year. Yeah, it's one of those that kind of, when you think about it, yeah, 2022, that's the year we have all these shows.
So then we start thinking of everything that we got. The High Republic has been going on since January, I think, all the way. We got two Thrawn books. I think we got the Victory Prize, the last one of the athletes quadrant, the Ronin book for Visions.
And we got Sowas Visions, the Bad Batch. We get Mandalorian, but a lot of other stuff came out this year. A bunch of comic books out there, even the smallest shows on the Sowas YouTube Kids channel also dropped me. So it was a very big year for Star Wars, even no movie sell there or anything.
Great year, I think, in Star Wars in 2021. And I'll start plugging in next week's show, which is going to be our big kind of look back at 2021, or we'll have an award show basically. So we'll be fun. Make sure you guys tune in for that one.
But you mentioned Book of Boba Fett, let's start with that one. Do you can see the Book of Boba Fett 2021 or 2022 show, because I've been back and forth. It's a struggle. I mean, I think probably I would call it 2022.
I mean, it's clinging on barely to 2021, but I think for all intents and purposes of the 2022 show. Yeah, I remember when they said, yeah, Book of Boba, December 2021, we're all excited. And then, yeah, December 29, 2021, I was like, really? You sold it.
All day and next week. Why? If you're going to wait, I know we want to, I guess it's December, right? This is Star Wars month.
Just wait, next week. What are we doing? But I guess it comes out after, I think next, no, we have two more weeks of Hawkeye. So 10 of December 22, maybe or something.
So maybe they just want to then jump straight to Star Wars. Okay, I get it. It's a huge brand Disney Plus and all that. So they got to work together with just wait.
It's funny because as I'm doing my 2021 compilation, like do I include Book of Boba Fett as a 2021 show or looking forward to 2020? I think I'm the same way. Most of it is 2022. We'll call it a 2022 show.
Are you excited for Book of Boba Fett? Well, you are Boba Fett fan before Mandalorian season two. What are your thoughts for this new show coming after weeks? Oh, yeah, I'm definitely excited.
I actually got here. I am sporting. Oh, very nice. Very nice.
Yeah, I mean, I did like the character definitely prior to season two of the Mandalorian, you know, even though we always didn't get much of him in the original trilogy, I didn't do the stuff that we get like in the pre goals and the Clone Wars of Young Boba. I thought you were like, I think season two did a lot to elevate his character. And I talked about talking about him on my show quite a bit. I did an episode in the week of in the kind of aftermath of season two of Mandalorian talking about Boba Fett.
I think they used him in some really, really compelling ways in that second season in terms of like, because like so much of that, so much of the Mandalorian particular second season deals with these issues about like identity and what does it mean to be a Mandalorian? And then like Boba, they place in this really kind of interesting place where it's like, oh, you know, he's got this connection to his dad who got kind of like recaninized Django back as a Mandalorian. But like, he's not really Mandalorian, but he wants the armor and then like, didn't want to give him the armor, but then later he will. But then Mo'etan is like, who's this guy?
And so like, he's just in this like really interesting place. And then of course, then we got the announcement at the end of season two about Boba Fett. And I think, yeah, I'm really excited to see where they take his story building off of what they done in Mando season two. And then there's all this, you know, everything that's been teased so far about, like, he's going back to time to mean he's taking over Jabba's empire.
But then, you know, the hands like, maybe he's going to do things differently. Because there's that line from the trailer about job a rule with fear, I intend to rule with respect and so like, what's he going to do in terms of navigating the underworld, you know, getting more about his relationship with Fennec Shand, who is, you know, who started off as what looked to be was going to be this one off character in season one. But now it's been done a lot with in season two in Bad Batch. So I'm interested to see the extent to which I think this is likely, I think it's a little low, but like, will there be any connections with Bad Batch season one?
Because like, because I think back particularly last year where we had, you know, Clone Wars season seven and then Mando season two and like, there wasn't much connection in terms of story or plot, but like, so-called was in one, she showed up again, but content was in one and she showed up like, you know, is it more than a coincidence that like, we get Bad Batch and like, here's Boba Fett. So yeah, I'm for all those reasons and more, like, I really, really intrigued to see what they do with him. Yeah, I mean, there's a lot that they can do. I'm hoping that they build on the Boba Fett of Mandalorian season two.
I've said to, at 300 times on the show, Boba Fett is my OG favorite character. I love them, they're really ultra-lucky. I don't care. Yeah, he looked cool.
And that's why I love them when I was a kid and just kind of kept going. But what they did with the character in season two was beyond anything I could imagine that first 10 minutes or that I picked. So he's freaking havoc. And of course, I'm yelling, yeah, yeah, of course it's a badass.
Here you go. But then we see the progression of the character with Fennec Shand, how they tell us Mando, no, we met a promise or a deal, we're going to get the logo, we're going to make sure that he's safe before we kind of bounce out of here. And then he progresses through that season finale. So I hope they continue that storyline with Boba Fett and that this new Boba and his relationship with Fennec Shand.
And he's not just, oh, yeah, he was a cool character in the real trilogy. Let's show him just beating people up, or now he's taken out with the kind of underground in Tatooine, which is, of course, kind of makes sense, but cannot keep building on this character that we met. Like you said, why did he save Fennec Shand? Right?
Because he just left her to die there. He took time or took her to Dr. Mandevo. Like I'm gonna say, took her to Dr.
Mandevo to get Pashtopp, went to Tython and then all this stuff. So I hope we learn, do they have a past, right? Do they have a past before Mandelarian season too? Hopefully, we see some of that and kind of progresses.
Is there gonna be a connection to the Bad Batch? I've been, I said here before the Bad Batch is not my favorite series out there, I had some issues with it, but it kind of makes sense, right? We saw Fennec Shand there, she has a connection with Boba Fett's sister with Omega. Now they're both headlining this show, it makes a little bit of sense, and we'll bring in a lot of people to make those connections.
And I think it can work, even though I understand also with some people not too happy with the picture of the Bad Batch in terms of that they don't look like the character which they were cloned from. Maybe a little bit white wash and all that stuff, where they bring a Caucasian character or actress to play Omega in live action. How is this gonna play out? That's where a future story, we don't know.
But it would be extremely interesting. Even if she, if Omega, let's just talk about Omega, she doesn't show up, but there's a mention, Fennec Shand mentions something about Omega and either Boba knows who she is or she just learns that he has a sister out there somewhere. But it'd be very interesting. I mean, again, plays on this character that my generation saw this one-dimensional badass out there bounty hunter to keep building on that character move forward.
So yeah, it would be very interesting to see if they kind of connect those dots. Kind of finishing up with Book of A before we move on. Is there anything that you would like to see apart from those connections or a character that you kind of hope shows up, we know in those TV shows, they kind of bring all these new kind of old characters into it. Kat Bane is the one that kind of comes jumps to mind.
Anyway, in particular, you might want to see? A live action Kat Bane would be pretty cool to see. That would be a lot. Oh, sorry.
That wasn't what I wanted to do. Sorry. There we go. You know, maybe to link up to some of those unfinished Clone Wars stuff where they have the two of them in a confrontation.
Mainly, I'm just continuing. Like, the big thing that I'm really interested to see out of Book of A, is like, then I'm continuing to flesh out this, you know, this post original trilogy post-Empire world. What does it look like? I mean, Mando is also doing a lot of this.
Like, what does this galaxy look like now that this, like, you have this vacuum with the Empire gone and the new Republic is trying to kind of establish its control. Like, what is the criminal underworld doing in this? And even also just like in terms of like the vacuum of Java being gone, like, what kind of effect does that have? So, yeah.
It'd be like five or six years, right? So Java's been dead. So who took over? What's again, that power vacuum from the criminal underworld now the Empire's gone for five years?
I don't know how if they even cared about what was going on out there, but now there's less control. So yeah, that's extremely interesting. All right. So Book of A, one of my most anticipated for next year, even though it comes out, we see two and a half weeks from me and all sorts.
It's kind of forget about all these all these stuff that we've been talking about. Oh, yeah, Book of A, one of us is dropping two weeks. So, can we? Let's jump into it.
Obi-Wan, can we? Probably 95% of the people out there, this is the most kind of interesting or most and set out to be sure that they're waiting for. I'll just drop it there. Obi-Wan, can Obi-Wan, give me your stats on it.
I am very excited for this one because like, this period that like, Kenobi is happening in and also, and we'll talk about it in a little bit also and or this kind of, like the original trilogy adjacent Empire about like, I love this period in Star Wars. Like, I like that they're opening up, I like we're getting high Republican on that, but like, you know, TIE fighters, Empire Star, so like all that, you're like, I could eat that like endlessly. So I am, I really just like, yes, to see what they do in terms of Obi-Wan's story about like him, I mean, we're assuming someone's is going to be him dealing with continuing to deal with the fallout of Anakin's turn to the dark side and everything, and all of that and the collapse of the Jedi order. You know, I am interested in terms of some of the, you know, the directions that take historic is, you know, a big thing that people have talked about, of course, ever since we knew that Hayden was coming back and that he was announced as Darth Vader is like, oh, are we getting another confrontation you know, effect retroactively with, let's say, a new hope and all that.
I mean, I'm interested about that. I'm also just interested about like, how are they going to deal with what I'm assuming is going to happen in this miniseries is Obi-Wan leaving Tatooine, because we assume this whole time like, he spent all those 19 years there watching Luke and like, I'm really interested about that. Like, how are they going to, you know, justify how they're going to kind of square the circle in terms of him breaking his eggs on saying like, oh, okay, there's this thing that's happening that's so urgent that I'm going to leave Luke for a little while. I mean, again, we're assuming that's what's going to happen.
So yeah, I'm really interested in those story decisions and how they weave that into what we know so far about Obi-Wan's character and then also his relationship and his history with their figure. Yeah. Well, Obi-Wan can always, well, can always fighting Vader again, retcon the reality. I don't care.
Give it to me. I want to see it. I don't care if it changes. Oh, that's what Obi-Wan thought as you did or whatever.
Give it to me. If you bring, and I can say, what you bring Hayden, Hayden, Kristen's and back, it's not just for flashbacks. I think it's gonna be there. There has to be a confrontation with Obi-Wan.
It has to happen. And I don't think I have great, I do believe in this creative thing. The Rachau, which is the great Mandalorian, I do believe in what she's doing. And I think they'll be able to play with it.
And this is still, this is right in between, at five or six years, no, 10 years after the Revenge of the Sith. So we still got at eight, nine, 10 years before a new hope when he sees when Kenobi runs into Darth Vader again. So you can still play into that, what the confrontation hour last time we made, I was one of the now and the master. And then his conversation with Luke in the Return of the Jedi is still works.
I think there's plenty of time to still have that confrontation. But it has to be this deep emotional show, right? It's gonna be a character driven. It can't be this gun's blazing action-packed show.
It has to be about, can it be like you said, dealing with the fallout of Anakin's fall, the fall of the Jedi, the fall of the Republic. That has to take a toll on him for these 10 years. And I really hope that they dig in on that. And that's the main thing.
And then what is gonna be that event that can cause him out of tattooing? Is it knowing that Anakin survived, his Darth Vader, he's out there. I mean, he knows that he's Darth Vader, but knowing that he survived and he's out there and he says, I gotta give it one more shot. I gotta go and try to bring my friend back.
And I really hope that's the reason. But also on this little kind of CISO reel that they gave us in Disney Plus, they were still thinking, it was kind of lame. And it wasn't lame. It got leaked again because they would have waited one day, would have worked out.
But we learned that there's got to be Quisitor's, there's Jedi Hunters out there, there's two cast members that have said that they will light sabers. There's gonna be a lot out there. Maybe they know that everyone's on tattooing, so he needs to leave, so they don't see that he's protecting Luke. So he has to fight these in Quisitor's, seeing in Quisitor's in live action with the spinning helicopter glaze.
That's full on level. So that's all. Yeah, I would love to see live action in Quisitors. And yeah, as you said, that seems very likely that you're going to get.
So I'll say even if I'm like, I don't know, let's say 85% sure that he's gonna have a lightsaber confrontation with Darth Vader, if he doesn't, but enough can all be live action fighting two in Quisitors with helicopter lightsabers. I'll be okay with it. I'll take that. I'll take it.
But it's, you know, poised to be this. And I'm not like groundbreaking, but one of those TV shows that also always friends, I just gonna be talking about for a long time. We don't know if it's four episodes, six episodes, how long each one is gonna be, just one season, this kind of special series out there, extremely excited for Kenobi. Anything else?
I think we covered. Yeah, I think we did. All right. And the other one that you mentioned Andor.
And I've said so many times on this show, I'm done with this time period between after the adventure, the Sith Clone Wars, the Sunday Clone Wars and that batch and Rogue One and Solo, which I love all that. I'm done with Gimme Andor. Gimme Kenobi. I'm so ready for it.
And before the acolyte was announced, Andor was my most anticipated show because it deals still with something we really haven't touched on too much in Star Wars. And again, we talked about the acolyte being this mystery thriller, Andor is the spy suspense TV show out there that we haven't seen in Star Wars. We saw at the beginning of Rogue One how Andor is trying to get this information from Tibic. I think it's the character has to kill him.
And then he says, everyone here has murdered, stolen, some of the tours, all the things we've done for the rebellion. Let's see all that bad stuff that they did to win the war, right? So I get rid of it. We know it's gonna be here.
It's nothing troubles for everyone. But I'm also very interested. And I hope that they kind of lean into it, seeing the same thing from the Empire side of that day to day run of the Empire, not just the high level commanders, just the regular people that have to wake up at 16 in the morning and go working the story destroyer construction side or something. See how all this affects that.
So extremely excited for Andor. No date for that. So I don't do you think and then as you give me your thoughts about Andor, do you think we'll get this before? Let me rephrase after bookable, what do you think is gonna be the next TV show?
Is it gonna be gonna be N-Door? Is it gonna be Andor? And then your thoughts on Andor? I mean, in terms of release schedule, I would probably say, I would probably say Obi-Wan would be the next one.
I would imagine, I mean, and there's the two others that we got to talk about, which is Bad, and Mando and how those sort of fit in. Sure. Yeah, I would say probably the first post Boba that one will be, I think Obi-Wan. I mean, in terms of what I'm looking forward to in Andor, you mentioned a lot of important points, it's like, Cassian in Rogue One is such an interesting character because we do like we get this lens into the kind of darker, unsavoury side of the rebellion.
And Cassian alludes to it about like we've all done terrible things for the rebellion. You know, Cheer it has that line where he talks about how Cassian is kind of carrying this prison around inside of him at all times. And so it would be interesting to see in that show maybe the evolution of Cassian, or let's say maybe we get to see him at the beginning and he enters their belly. Maybe he's more like idealistic.
Maybe he, you know, but then he has to do all these sorts of things over the course of the show and that kind of hardens him more into the character that we see at the beginning of Rogue One. So yeah, I'm looking forward to that. I am I'm looking forward to again getting another dimension of this struggle between the Alliance and the Empire, different from the things that we've seen in, let's say, Rebels and in other places. And yeah, as you were mentioning too, like maybe getting some of those, you know, some of the more current workers of the Empire that they're having to run into, like, some of just like your run of the mill kernels or commanders that he has to deal with.
Yeah. And we know what Amy wants to see. I mean, Sierra for Diego Luna, we all are really kind of way to see that kind of spider background story for Cassian and then Mo is, and that she hopes that we see Scarif against Scarif is a great planet. So let me go to see if I got bombarded and all that stuff.
So I kind of shot through the middle with a best-start laser. But Andor, yes, I think I'm still very excited for Andor for all the things that you said. Beylo Ganna should be here, which one of those characters has getting a lot of push from Star Wars fans out there. Let's go to Aldrin, right?
Let's see Beylo, let's see Brea. Maybe got a very young Princess Leia, Organna out there will be or that will be hard touching. So let's see all that. And then this is a perfect place to bring Enthys Nest into it.
We know she's working on her size. She was in the solo novelization at the end meeting with Sogarera, which she and very young Jean taking the co-action to him. So we know she has some dealing. So let's bring her in.
We all are love Enthys Nest. And one of my dogs after Enthys Nest. Yeah, we need your Enthys Nest. Yeah, we great.
And I know some people have been saying maybe you can even get Kenobi into this. That's fine. Just leaving on his show. Or maybe there's a connection between those who because they're in a similar time period, right?
I think Kenobi kind of a few years before and then Andor kind of comes back when he comes later. But I do believe that we would get Kenobi after Book of Offit. I don't know if maybe they give us something else before, but probably Kenobi can sell some time in May, close to May 4th or May 25th to make a Star Wars kind of celebration. And then Andor probably after that one.
But extremely excited for Andor. Again, it's one of those, you don't know what's going to happen in this show. There's so many ways that they can go. And I can wait.
Again, just give me something. We haven't heard anything about Andor in one year, 365 days. We haven't seen it last time we heard something. So our friend Dale is out in Beil, Brayha, and Leah will be great to see Kenobi also.
I almost expect that. Again, maybe it's Beil that calls Kenobi to kind of come out of Tatooine again. Let's go to all the run. Give us all the run.
We haven't seen it. Just little glances. That planet is such a little bit of love. All right.
So let's jump into a few seasons. And let's start with the Bad Batch, which I believe will probably come out. I think this is my kind of timeline. It's Book of Offit.
Then Kenobi, then probably Andor, then Bad Batch. Maybe Bad Batch between Kenobi and then at the end, Mandalorian. But Bad Batch is on two. Before we start, General thoughts on season one.
And then what are you hoping to see for Bad Batch isn't two? I really enjoyed Bad Batch season one. I mean, I think, you know, I love Omega. I love her introduction.
Glad that she is in Star Wars. And I think that, you know, that season does a really good job of kind of evolving her from starting off as being basically this kid that's kind of attached to the main crew to them becoming part of the group. But I think also that first season did a lot in terms of flushing out and giving us insight into the kind of early stages of the Empire, where there was like the episode we were dealing with chain codes, all the war mantel stuff, where we get to see the proto stormtrooper. And, you know, when we go to, was it Rex's, and we get to see like how the former separatists are kind of being brought back into the Empire.
So that kind of a world building in terms of seeing like how the Empire is establishing its power, I think was really compelling in addition to just like the micro story of these clones who are now have essentially become decommissioned and are now trying to find some sort of purpose for themselves now that they're no longer soldiers for the Republic. And I mean, you know, looking ahead to what they're going to do in season two, I mean, I think there's a lot of avenues that they've left for themselves. There's of course the continuing relationship between crosshair and the Bad Batch and where they're going to do that. I mean, like, presumably someone's going to pick up crosshair on this one form.
Maybe so swimming. Yeah, I don't know, like someone's going to come. I don't know how he's going to reach out to anybody. Anyone's going to know.
But presumably crosshair will get back to the Empire in some capacity and we'll continue to go after them. You know, we've already, we already saw the Bad Batch dealing a lot with the criminal underworld in season one. So like, where are they going to, like what other connections are they going to make what other jobs and assignments are they going to go on? You know, we get to see the more with the early rebellion because we got teases of that with the Marten sisters and the Captain Rex that like they're connected to this larger fight.
And then of course, there is the enduring mystery of Omega that's out there. What is her purpose? We got teases in season one, the Camino ones were talking before they got, you know, caught and arrested and like everything got destroyed. They were teasing some sort of contingency plan about like a new superior type of clone.
And there was that last shot of we got to see Nala say basically taken to this mountain facility and that she was going to be used for the various imperial cloning. So there's that enduring mystery. Why was Omega created? What is her purpose?
Does she have some as yet unknown abilities or how does she fit into into that? So we're in a bigger way. Yeah. So first, I mean, for people considering, let me just pour one out.
Every time it gets mentioned, there you go. But I feel I've been critical on this show about my, I don't say dislike for that batch, but I kind of fell out of love from it. I love the first episode, but halfway through the season, I just kind of went down. And I say and I apologize for sometimes I watch and just to look for things to hate, which is not the way if you're doing that, not even watch it.
And then I can not change. Let me just forget about doing a podcast about it and reviewing it. Let me just watch it. I'm here in Centro 10.
But like you said, my favorite thing about it and the thing that kept bringing me back was that empire thing. How is the empire now changing? How is coming into focus? How is it dealing with the change of the galaxy and cross here with these new stone troopers going after the bad batch?
That's what I was really into the other four characters and with Omega, even though I do like some of them, I love Echo, I love tech was my other favorite one, especially at the end of Clone Wars season seven, but I can know whatever. So those four, I didn't cut my attention as much as some other people out there. Again, if you know a lot of people love the bad batch and grateful you guys, I keep getting more scissors. But what I'm really interested in is that empire is sad and I hope they kind of lean in a little bit more.
I know the focus is going to be on the main four characters, but that's what I'm really interested in. Like you say going to these other planets, where they said Mount Tannis, everyone is saying now they're bringing into Canada. I didn't read all the old legends books, so I don't know. I'm just reading people's tweets about what it means.
But more cloning with Cin, Mandalorian, obviously, it's this all going to lead up to the sequel trilogy, kind of making it more connections with snow, can the emperors plan and all that. Yeah, of course, let's all that all that type of stuff. I'm not really dying to see season two, but maybe it's one of those shows that just keeps evolving and then I'm back on it, which is why we should just let those shows kind of breathe. I felt the same way with Rebels the first time I saw it, took me a little while to get into it.
So we'll see. Bad batch season two, it's been officially announced. We don't know when it's coming out. We'll see.
All right, so real quick, Mandalorian season three, most likely at the end of the year. I'm going to just go ahead and ask, do you think we're going to see Grogu at some point in season three? I think probably I doubt at the very beginning, I think they will. I don't know to what extent we will see a didn't list Grogu, like whatever he's up to, probably not much.
But I suspect that that season is going to spend at least part of maybe let's say the first half, first third, maybe even first two thirds might be a while where we just see where did it's because didn't have any authority situation. There's a lot to do with din independent of Grogu by something or other will ultimately bring the two of them back together. I know you have takes and feeling like Grogu. Oops, sorry.
All right, so that's all right. It's the Grogu Saturday bag. Let's see what I'm done. Maybe I'm just an old grumpy man.
I love Grogu. I got, I don't know if you really can say that. I got a few Grogu's out there. There's like two back there.
And I don't know how many fun co-ops I got of Grogu. But I don't know what else he has to list all of the Mandalorian because I don't know. Season one, okay, he did a little bit. He helped use the force and all that stuff.
Season two, he was just there, just trying to survive. He didn't add a lot. He was just a child that they were carrying. To bring him back, I don't think he adds anything to the story.
What Luke is going to do with him? Okay, Gimmie Grogu, 10 years from now. When he's a little bit older, he's master, he's trying to use, starting to control the force, or maybe he decides to go somewhere, something else. I don't want to be a Jedi.
Give me back to Din Jaren. I want to be a Mandalorian. Okay, fine. Do that 10 years from now.
At this point, this little 52-year-old child does it for myself. Doesn't add anything else to the story because unfortunately, yeah, he's 50, but he's still a toddler. He's like two years old. So I don't know what else he can do.
What I want to see, it's Mando having to deal with everything you said with Bo Catan, the dog saver, everything else that he knows, that he was brought up as this is what a Mandalorian is supposed to be. And now that got shot in his face when he made all these other Mandos, let's go to Mandalore. Let's deal with all this stuff and make it actually a Mandalorian show about all the Mandalorians going back to the planet. And let's deal about that.
If it's at the end of the season, and here's Grogu. Let's go visit him. Let's see how he's doing. Okay, that's fine.
But if you say episode five, Grogu's back, he just made a mess in the temple, look, couldn't deal with it, which I understand, right? We've been there. But to me, keep Grogu out of it. At least I hear, give me one here.
Season four bringing back, do the Big Reunion. Yeah, Dean is gonna be depressed. He lost his child, right? And I get it.
That's a big part. My favorite, and I cried at the end of season two, and he wasn't because of look. Yeah, look, I mean, great. I love seeing you.
I broke down completely when Dean Jarr had to say goodbye to his son, right? Because that's what he did. Broke my heart. He did the right thing.
He knows it. So I know he's gonna really depress or something, which is again, that's gonna be another thing that hasn't been touched in Star Wars, or I don't know what other shows out there. 45, 50 year old man depressed because his son is away. That's the main character that's new with those issues.
Mental health and all that stuff. That's very important. It's not really out there in Star Wars land. So that's something I want to see.
He's back. Let's self-seventify more Funko Paws because he grabbed a leaf and now let's sell it. And then I'll probably buy it. So that's my feelings for Grow Go Amanda season.
