Rebellion for Build on Herd. And welcome to another episode of Radio Rebellion, a star warspot test. I am your host, I'm your host, I'm your host, I'm your host, I'm your host, I'm your host, I'm joining me today. So, friend, Otiyy, how are you doing today?

I'm doing good, I'm doing you. I'm doing wonderful. Again, another great star wars Saturday, this close to saying this is the first episode of Radio Gotham or Gotham Rebellion out there because we've both seen the Batman, Blue or Mans, you're going to rush through today because you're heading back to the theater as well done. So, yeah, I think that course it.

So, yeah, real quick. I know the six star wars, but it's all fandom. We all fans are everything out there. Your thoughts, non-spoilers on the Batman and.

I love it when they say like Marvel fans versus Star Wars fans. And it's like, it's the same fan. The C fans, it's the same thing. The Batman, I love that movie.

I'm going to see it again. Yeah, it was great. I'm a longtime Batman comic book fan. He's my favorite fictional character.

So, I was very happy through those three hours. Yeah, the only, I read a few reviews, I'll just post on Twitter and nothing negative about it. Just some people say, no, it's a bit too long towards the end. They could have caught here and there.

I'm not watching the movie. I wouldn't cut a single frame from this movie. I love everything about it. I've identified the things I would have cut out, but they're like some of my favorite scenes in the movie.

So, leave it as it is. Like, honestly, leave it. Yeah, no worries. So, yeah, great movie.

I want to say that again, we're talking a little bit before. And that theme, that Batman theme is like Vader and Imperial March. Every time it comes out plus everything is red and black. So, it kind of gives you that Imperial seat feeling.

And Batman has that like Vader presence. Like, it's where we tall dude in armor. Like, people standing next to him. Yeah, that first scene when he comes out and we see it, the first time is like, oh, this is going to be something different.

So, yeah, nothing. Who are you? And then it goes on and everything. We'll do a full show on it one day.

All right, but that's not what we're here. We have to talk Star Wars. But first, if you're watching us live, thanks for being here. So, always make sure that you like this video.

If you're, and that you subscribe, subscribe to our channel. We're slowly growing. We're around 137 subscribers. I said it last week or the week before, as soon as we reach 150, we'll go ahead and set up another watch along of our movie, our TV episode.

I don't know. We'll figure something out. And then if you're listening to this later on the replay or all your podcast, make sure to leave us a comment. What do you think about all these Star Wars news you're going to be talking about today?

Oh, the Batman. Just leave us here coming about the Batman. There's always those. What if Batman faced off against a Jedi or something?

Who would win? Well, that's not what you think. I mean, there was a, Batman can prepare. No, it's...

But, Batman would probably find the leveler and win. Oh, man. Are you saying, bro, he's the Batman? He'll call him, he's going to call him, I'm like, I need you.

Yeah. I got some extra money. I can't, he can help. All right.

And that's it. So, before we start, let's go ahead, because it's, we're proud to be part of the Amidala initiative to support equality texts. I mean, if you're following the news, everything out there, things in texts, Florida, a lot of places, we're focusing on texts right now. There's a billboard, a log going around against transgender youth out there and a friend of ours on Twitter, Ben McDonough, went ahead and created this initiative, the Amidala initiative in favor of equality texts as to help all transgender children out there.

Both of us are happy on our each other's podcast to support this. And we're part of, I think, 77 podcasts out there doing everything that we can. So, guys, support it, but you can donate to it. There's a link down in the bottom of this video in the description because donate, spread the word, retweet it, let other people know.

What do we can do? Everything is positive. So, we're here to help. We always say stop with this for everyone and we can look away when things like this happen and living in Florida, unfortunately, there's a lot of similar laws and we wouldn't surprise me, we're done this path in a couple of months or whatever.

So, yeah. That's kind of, that's always said, stop having Florida. Just like, we're running around. Yeah.

We can do that. Okay. Let's just go full on. They don't want teachers to teach, even to say it to us, to do with LGBT community, anyone that might be gay, lesbian, transgender, if someone opens up to the teacher and says something, they want the teacher to report them to the kids, even if it's not a safe environment.

So, it is bad out in a lot of places, but whatever we can do to help support and make it a better place for everyone out, especially the marginalized community, we'll do our part. So, again, the link is down at the bottom of the description. Just click on it and we'll take you to their website. You can go from there or go on Twitter, follow the Amidala initiative and there's a lot of information there, another link to go for me and you're going to the information there.

So, that's it. All right. So, before we start, how did you, who's out there in the chat that we can say hi to? Oh, I'm in charge of the chat.

You still have control of it? Oh, awesome. We have failed. And nor was I.

Yeah, they don't know. I guess we know it last week for our great Rogue One solo Trivia, she did a great performance day. Unfortunately, it came a little bit short because Box just ran away with it. A great display, the Dark Horse came in and just took it around by surprise.

I had a ton of fun doing that. Those are some of my favorites. They're not official. I don't count them as official podcast episodes, but there's some of the most fun I have, those watch-alongs.

We're just having fun just talking, whatever. And the video has done great. It's almost as many views as our previous Trivia that was four months ago, like two months ago. So, guys, you haven't watched a go back last week episode or Trivia.

And then we're setting up, I think already had the competitor, Avinol Trilogy, Trivia. That's going to be some heavy hitters might be there. So, we'll see. All right.

So, with that said, if you guys are ready, I'm not healthy. It was fun. If you guys are ready, I'm not ready. Let's talk Star Wars and Star Wars news.

Star Wars news. Star Wars news. Star Wars news and the first news comes from the Star Wars Galactus Star Cruiser, very known as the Halcyon. It finally opened.

It was mentioned. I don't know how many years ago that Star Wars was making a hotel first, then this interactive experience. We've watched the videos, we've read the reviews, at least I have, because I gave Otty little short notes on our topics today. But Otty, before we start, a little bit deeper into it, when you heard first, Otty was doing a hotel and then this Galactus Star Cruiser.

Or we knew that prices and all that. What were some of your thoughts? If I'm not mistaken, I think they announced this with the trilogy. If, yeah, I think, of course it wasn't like this.

Oh, it's going to be Galactus Edge. I know. I'm pretty sure they said like, hey, we're going to have a park, we're going to have a hotel. So, because I remember all the fan maps of what it was going to be.

So, yeah, ever since I heard that I knew I wanted to go to the park, but knowing Disney, I knew the hotel was going to be something else, both, you know, how it's assigned, how it's made. But also, Monotero, I knew it was going to be like, because even like the sheep hotels in Disney World are not sheep at all. Yeah, we'll talk about that. Some of the things, I'm going to take control of the chat real quick.

Yeah, they have thoughts. Yeah, they all said, I don't have the income to go on the Galactus Star Cruiser. I've been saving up forever for this year. I have a lot of things going on.

I'm not trading Star Wars Celebration for a visit to a cruise. And that's a great point. A lot of people want to go to Celebration, at least for myself, all the way on the West Coast. A lot of money, flights, hotels, just going in there.

You want to buy Star. So, we got to be a little stingy sometimes with our income. So, I understand 100% what Deli's saying. Oh, it's expensive, man.

It is. It is. That's why there's so many band dates and some regulars and stuff out there and now taking credits. It's expensive to live in the Galaxi Far Far Away, even when it's fake and we're over here.

So I remember this being announced. I know you say maybe it was where the movies were now. I remember this. I remember this and maybe it was the same time when Galaxi's Edge was announced.

Then we do a Star Wars hotel plus we're doing the park at Disney. And I was so excited because I want to say 2018 or something 2017 at least in my head. When I said, okay, this is about two years away building a hotel takes a few years, like five years before then. And my idea was okay, my fourth birthday is coming 2020.

So that's going to be it. My only gift is give me two days. Just to spend this Star Wars hotel and go to Galaxi's Edge at that point Star Wars land. That was it.

And I was so excited. And then they said, well, actually it's not a hotel. It's this Galaxi Star Cruiser, kind of like a cruise. It's immersive experience.

And then they said, and you're going to be there for two days or two nights and you can go out and a lot of people kind of freaked at that. What do you mean we can go? At that point I was like, dude, it's like a cruise. If you're not a cruise, you don't go out.

Yeah, there's ports of call or whatever, but you're inside this ship. So I kind of thought about it the same way. But now it opened at least to the media out there. Some people went last week.

I think I was open to the public wherever booked it. Our friend Candace from Vicky Waffle was there I think on Sunday of last week or whatever. Some point last week spent I think four or five hours. She said I haven't spoken to her.

She only offered thoughts. She posted something. It kind of maybe changed my mind a little bit. She was on the bridge.

I just kind of sent all these links back to my childhood and all those memories. So okay, that's kind of great for people like myself. I have a little bit of hesitation. All right.

So it's open a bunch of videos out there, a bunch of reviews. Ozzy, you said you haven't read any reviews. Have you seen some of the videos or some of the pictures that people are posting? Has it changed your mind about what it looks like?

Are you interested? If you have the opportunity to go with your interests or are you still going to add this mind on before me? Yeah. So okay.

Let me divide this into different parts. I haven't seen reviews because I don't want to get spoiled in the sense of like when I went to Galaxy said yes, I had a ton of fun. There were a ton of surprises, but I had seen a lot of things like I had seen part of the ride. I had seen and I wish I would have gone in like knowing literally nothing.

So I'm like avoiding like very specific things on the hotel because I know I'll go before I die at some point. Maybe it'll be in four years. Maybe it'll be in 24 years. Who knows?

So I just since I'm going to like eventually put up the money for it, I want to be like excited to like live this for the first time, not have seen it through a video. That said, I did see like a couple of clips here and there. And again, it's going to be a long term thing. I'm not going to be there.

I said four years, probably I'm not going to be there in five years. So yeah, because the price tag is so high, like for going to that, I'll probably just go to Barcelona. I don't know. Yeah.

So that's where I'm at right now. Because it's what? $4,000? I think that's how it starts for two people or something.

I know if you have a founder for like myself, it would be between $5,000 and $6,000 something like that. And also go ahead. It's two days in one hotel. You really, really have to like balance it out and make that choice.

Yeah, I might say a lot of things, negative things here. But let's start by saying I saw like I see two or three videos of most of them were like one was 10 million, one was a 40 minute video. They kind of just skip through parts of it. I read about two or three reviews and more or less, they can say the same thing.

I already lost my turn. Oh, even if I say a few negative things about it, nothing against the cast, nothing against the crew, everyone that works there looks to be extremely excited, extremely knowledgeable of what they're doing. I know when the first kind of promo videos and those didn't help, the first promo videos weren't the best. It looked a little bit cheap, a little bit classicky, the lighting was weird.

But everything I've seen and heard once it's there is completely opposite. It looks professional. All the cast looks great. There are few aliens that they had looked okay.

I wish they had more. I kind of read this only one droid and walking around, which can really, you're here for two days, there's only one droid. But whatever. But my thing is like you said, for a family of four like myself, I can actually allow $6,000.

So I'll say I've been privileged enough, I went on a Disney cruise about five years ago. One of the best experiences we've had as a family, not $6,000. And I went with my modeling loss. So that's five people.

I want to say it was around $4,000 or something. It's just a lot of money. But it was about three nights. We went to the Bahamas, then to the Disney Island.

There's a pool. If you don't want to send your room, there's a movie theater. It's so solo, they're like three times. That's why I saw, uh, at the end of the last one, the first time I think it's like twice three popcorn.

No, the popcorn was in three, but the movie is free. There's activities, basketball. There's a lot of things that you can do if you don't want to do some of the activities there. If you don't want to go to the protocol, go down to the hammers, you can say the hotel and do a bunch of stuff.

So my issues now with the Galactus Star Cruise, I didn't have before, when I said, yeah, this is just like a cruise, is that from what I've seen, if you're not invested a hundred percent in everything that they're doing, you're not going to have that much fun. Because you have to do all the other things you can do while you're on a hotel or vacation. There's not a pool that you can go to. There's not, oh, I gotta get, I gotta get, I'm also just my kids don't need the food that's in the hotels.

I gotta go to the nearest pharmacy to get something. There's nothing. So you're stuck there. So my main thing is for my family, at least, it's not worth it because they're not over Star West friends like myself.

So if I'm there, yeah, I'm going to be doing everything. My wife probably does one or two things. My kids are going to get tired. They might do one thing and then I don't want to do this and then sometimes they just want to send the hotel inside the room all day watching this new channel, which is fine if you're on vacation and you're staying at hotel to sleep.

But if you're spending $6,000 and you're not doing everything that's out there, I think it's a waste. I think that's going to be. You better go to a lightsaber, don't you? Yeah.

Yeah. I gotta go ahead. No, I don't want to spoil the videos because you want to be there. I mean, just talk about it.

It's fine. So the Star Wars, the lightsaber training looks, I don't know. That's one of the things I wasn't too impressed by because you're there. Oh, this is the remote.

There's a little light that tells you where it's going to go. You move your lightsaber on two seconds later. You deflect. There's some people behind with a shield blocking something.

I don't know what they're supposed to be doing. I think just because they're waiting just to have them do something. I know there's not going to be a training remote flying after doing lightsaber training, but for a beam of light to come and you block it five seconds later and move here, kind of the cheap, not cheap, but some of the video games from 2010 that you did Star Wars. Yeah.

I mean, like I have the lightsaber from the, the Jedi challenges, which is a 3D thing that seems better and more interactive than the way that they're doing it. But with that said, if they call me, I'll go. Oh, yeah. No, no, definitely.

I'm going to be like a hypocrite here. If, you know, look, if you want to, yes, I'll. Yeah. I don't mind.

Yeah. Yeah. Thing is it's the whole price tag thing. I'm not convinced that it's worth it.

Like that's like, if I don't know what price tag, like it would fit well. But I also like think about paying $4,000 and having to deal with people and character 24 seven. Yeah. And you know, I love, I love Star Wars.

I wish, you know, I could be like in Star Wars. I just think about it. Like 24 seven for, I mean, not 24 seven 24 two because it's like it has to like at some point get like, yeah. So that's the thing.

It's, I have different ideas because when this was announced as a Star Wars hotel, I was extremely excited. Because again, you just said the Star Wars hotels, the specific hotels or whatever they call them, they're great. There's extremely expensive, like the animal kingdom, animal kingdom laws, you can look out that balcony, there's freaking giraffes out there. Yes, those are very expensive.

I've been doing those, I want to. But we went once to one of the cheaper ones, like 200 bucks and I still not cheap, but you can fit for people there for the arts of animation, which is the best hotel I've ever been. As soon as you've walked in, everything is concept art of all the animated movie. There's like in concert art, finding Nemo and it's just wall to ceiling.

I mean, floor to ceiling, just beautiful concept art, that room sorry specifically designed. We were in the finding Nemo part of the hotel, great. As soon as you walk out, there's like three different pools, all the characters are there in terms of ceramics that I'm keen for, just looks like freaking pryg rock, extremely immersive in that kind of scenario. There's movies at the end of the day in the little grassy area.

So I was, yeah, give me that in Star Wars. I'll pay that $200 and then take a bus to go to Galaxisets, signing up. And then you can get a bunch of families and just keep it going because these stories is two days, so it's not like, oh, let's check in today at five and then tomorrow at eight, the next group comes. Let's do round the fall course before more people can come in.

So kind of limit so many people can do it, which I guess is also why the price might be so high. But I would have loved to just a regular hotel theme like Star Wars and have a couple of characters because even in the Disney Cruise, sometimes there were stone troopers walking by and like, let me run back, try to catch them. Of course, there's someone kind of stopping you. But just seeing something like that, I think would have been better to have more people come because we said if you're not invested 100% on this, I think you're apart from it a lot of money is a little bit wasted time, I think.

I got two more things with this before we move. No, just things like I said, I thought it was going to be just a regular Disney hotel kind of thing with Star Wars. But what I thought is pretty good is all their interaction, how interactive it is. Like you said, yeah, you have characters just kind of nagging you, but they're there, so you feel like Star Wars, which is something that I didn't feel too much at Galax's Edge.

I think we have a little bit different views on it because I felt like I was at a Disney park, when I was at Galax's Edge, mostly because I go try to build it, I don't build it, I go do that draw it and I get up by a lightsaber and then I'm working with these bags. There's people coming from Toy Storylands with their goofy hats and all that, which I get it, but it didn't feel like Star Wars. I did my lightsaber and I had to run to the car and even in the car and come back. Yeah, I get it.

But I think my experience at Galax's Edge, it's so influenced by the lightsaber thing because that specific part is so immersive. The actor doing the presentation, get that guy in a movie. He was in it, he was living the whole experience. Yeah, and I don't know, man, you know, yeah, you're in a park.

But there were like these little details. I think I told you, like the guy who saw my Mark and Rose shirt and he was like, oh, the guy of the storm. Interesting little tale. I'm like, yeah, so in that sense, I think it's like the best that it'll ever be.

Okay. Again, I went during the summer, 90 degrees, COVID was still running pretty bad out there. So everyone was behind a little fence. So I did saw Vio Vaim already.

I was able to have a little conversation with her. I'm not as fine. What are you talking about? The story troopers, I didn't see Kylo or the story troopers that come out of his shot over there, mentioned something about my draw.

Of course, that was great. But after about having those bags, having to go out, find a locker room, a locker store, it's when they run back, I got lost going back in freaking Toy Story, because I worked into something. I didn't follow the map. And then after about 23 hours, I was there for about four hours and like, okay, I guess I'm bouncing.

So my time there was great, but it didn't feel as interactive as I thought. And we get there with the electric star crew. So I thought we were going to get that. As he says, I went there.

But after seeing all these videos and seeing people say that, oh, sometimes there's so much stuff to do that. The big finale cannot cut into the final dinner. They're trying to just carve their dinner because definitely starting. So they jump back so much stuff that you don't have enough time.

So I was thinking, so it won't work better. For me, again, everyone that's going great, if you enjoy the credits just from the outside, but I think it would have maybe worked better to get more people in, try to be a lot cheaper. And you can still do a lot of those experiences. Do kind of like they do with escape rooms and medieval times out here in Orlando, you go during the morning, you're there for about three or four hours.

You're still basically going to the star cruiser, the same big lunch that they have. And then you decide, do you want to do the resistance side? You want to do the first order. And then whichever you pick, you get to do like four experiences.

You do the lightsaber, you see that Twilex singing, you help still the coaxium and do all those stuff. If you take the first order, you look for smiles, you do all this stuff, and it cannot move you along. And then you have more people coming through. And let's say you pay 100 bucks for this.

And then if you want to go to Galaxy's Edge, pay another $75 or whatever. And then you went once, did the resistance one, you can go again to the sixth one or the first order, or if you just want to pick and choose, I just want to do like three things. I just want to redo the lightsaber one. Okay, pay 30 bucks or whatever.

It cannot keep it moving. And more people can keep going. Because I think they have so much stuff that is difficult to do everything that they want plus have some downtime as a vacation. This is a vacation full on experience out there.

So I don't know. Those are just my thoughts. They all is asking, are there like any competitive experiences like Star Wars got like the Star Cruiser? And he adds, I've seen theme parks for 200 a night, but nothing like this.

No one matters if role playing experience. And I'm not sure of any other experience like this. I think it's kind of like, they probably have like medieval experiences or something. So what I've seen from the people that worked on Disney Park, when they asked them a lot about the price, they say there's nothing like this in terms of the interconnected experience.

The interactive experience, I said there's nothing like this. This is the first thing out there. And then I saw someone post, oh, I guess they forgot about this. And they posted something, but I don't remember what it is.

So I think it is in terms of a hotel or whatever. I think there's nothing like it, at least not here in the States. But that doesn't make it. Yeah.

Because I saw the people that should have done like they do, I guess in the Hogwarts one, Universal because they connect the two parks. I don't know if you kind of take that train or something. In general, just being on this dog van with some screens that takes you to the, from the structures that you got like to say. Oh, they have a shuttle from?

Yeah. So there's a shuttle, shuttle, it's like a van or a tinke that I'm whatever. We have screens and everything. So you look, it seems like you're in space going down to about two and all that.

You can't see like the outside. Oh my God. I have like terrible motion sickness. Oh, no, no, I'm definitely not going.

You're just working there. I mean, I, I find people also say that they have Joseph Robia and they didn't feel that in the cruiser or just going down to Watu. So maybe the way that they have designed it, it's fine. And they also have a like an atmospheric something that they say, just to get you used to the atmosphere that too, which is just about coming.

So if you need to kind of go out and breathe fresh air. Yeah. So you're not cooked up there. I think the hotel is like, I think it's next to the park.

Like right next to right. So I think it's like right next to right. So there is something cool that I also saw is that now it makes sense why you have to steal the co-action when you're going down in a vacuum, right? You need to steal the co-action.

It makes sense. It ties to a story on the store cruiser. It's cool. At least that's that.

But I know you think that then you say, really? I guess some of us know they give you a task on the store cruiser that you need to find someone on August Cantina because they have to give you a rock or something. And when you go and you find them, and say, yeah, here's the rock. Yeah, it's a rock.

They don't give you anything. So you found the guy who gave you the rock, but you don't take anything with you. It's kind of like, yeah, you find it. Tell them that you do this.

Like, really couldn't just give some crystals or something. Some things that wouldn't be on and another is they kind of faltered. I heard one of these longer videos, you've done the Millennium Falcon, right? This is Moggler's run.

You're the pilot or the engineer and hit a button here when it flashes. So in the guy who started cruising when you're on the bridge, they have all the big screens. It's kind of the same thing. Just kind of extended.

So you have to hit buttons when they light flashes. It's kind of the same thing, but kind of extended. It doesn't feel like something new. But actually, that's like one of the parts I'm most excited for.

Like the bridge, like being in a Star Wars bridge, being a battle go on. Like, yeah, that's kind of cool. I wish and I know they couldn't cause Oscar Isaac just went last week after the park opened. But the video that they show with him saying all these feels like being back in the movies, the ex, there's no seams.

That was a better promotional video than the previous five that they got. I actually had a video. Yeah, there's a one minute video and he's so excited to be back in Star Wars. Oh, yeah.

No, that must be wrong because he hated Star Wars. He said he wouldn't come back. No, that was a big fake, right? That was a big fake.

I have one additional complaint and this is a Puerto Rican word. So I don't want to sound like a gueno bichon from Gueno. And the rooms do not look nice. Like they don't look like the bunk beds.

They look like not comfortable at all. I could be wrong. Maybe they're like the state of the arts, temper, but I don't know, which I don't find so comfortable. But I don't know.

Like they don't look like that good. They're small because they don't want you to spend time. There's the I don't know if a king bed or a queen bed in the middle. Those two holes on the wall bunk beds and then one that kind of drops from the wall or something pulls out and they do look small.

I don't know how if you're again taking your whole family, how all they think the kids are going to be. And that's one of the things is there's no really a reason to stay in the room. But if you don't want to be out because you're a starless friend that just likes a movie, then you screw it because then you're sitting there in a corner with 20 people with their phones running around. Look at this.

Look at this. Ah, come on. Help us. Now do I just want to chill?

Sometimes I don't want some stranger to come to me with Disney data pad saying, oh, we got to go find this missing data chip card because whatever. I'm just, where's the pool? I'm sure starless has pool song. I just want to chill.

Yeah. So one other thing. Have you heard anything about the food? I heard it was great.

Yeah, I heard it was great. I won't let you say something. I read that you can ship in on this. Like I've always kept it with the food because there's like this stereotype in Puerto Rico, like people from the US don't know good food.

So yeah, we said this is not a tableau, this is a song. Yeah. So like people's like, it's the best food in this thing world. I'm like, the food in this thing world is pretty terrible.

So the thing for me, I'm not the biggest foodie out there. I don't have the refined palate. So I don't eat a lot of food. Give me a hamburger, give me a steak.

Things like that. Right. See what type of rice you have beans. I'm not going to have all this.

So even get a situation like, okay, there's a lot of weird things here that I don't eat. And it was fine. I think I had that wrong toe wrap. No, wasn't the wrong toe wrap.

Whatever I had. Okay. But then I have my freaking phone beeping. Oh, you're going to go buy your light saber.

It's one of those things. I think the same thing is a cruiser. Everything needs to do that phone or that data pad over there that if you don't do it now, you're missing it. So I had to scarf down whatever I was eating.

I was going to miss my place. And you don't want that if you're on a vacation, they spend $6,000. I want to do things at my pace. And that's like, no, sorry, you pay for this experience.

You're going to go, go, go. I think that's a mistake for it to be. Do you have to wake up like at 7am or something? Probably.

I don't know. But they give you the schedule. It's like, you know, you're going to do everything. You're going to be on it.

That sounds way too stressful to be like a. I can't, they say it's not a vacation. I think that you're coming to just chill. It's a you're going to be doing things.

And that's I think it's a mistake to get families in there. If you get five star wars freaks, then you're okay. Let's divide it. But if not, I don't think it's with it for a family like myself.

Again, I just speak it for myself and my situation. They're not going to enjoy this. And then I'm going to be stuck. Do I go do star wars stuff or do I stay with my family?

And maybe have way through the day. Like, dude, my back was going to be walking a mile and a half to this 4-H young farm thing that I went this morning. If you see my pictures on Twitter, cows and goats and pigs, I loved it. That's in my neighborhood.

I walked like 15 minutes. Yeah, it sounds stress from Norholl. You're right. Again, I got a massage when I got home from a 15 minute walk.

You imagine 48 hours, right? I was trying to open down with young kids dressed as valor with lights every sitting in your knee. I really hope they give you like a thousand disclaimers before you buy it. Because if not, I think the amount of complaints to the federal trade commission are going to be flying out.

They didn't let me sleep. I didn't let me sleep. I got my food. Those other ones out there with their lights everywhere, they think they're Jedi.

They're going to block a few beams. But again, a few things. People they had to the cast and everyone involved with it. I know it's going to be, if we say stressful for us, imagine for them having to deal with crazy Star Wars fans.

So that looks great. That the sign of the ship and everything inside looks great. So I'm not knocking anything of that. And again, if I had the opportunity, they say, okay, round two, we're getting some smaller podcasts out there.

You want to come? Hey, I'm going down though. I'll drive down. You don't have to fly me.

And I'll be a shield or whatever. I'll fly. I'll pay for my plane. I don't care.

I'll go. I definitely want to go. I'm just like very skeptical. Yeah.

And I'm pretty sure the price is going to like, drop off once the investment depreciates and people start like not going. So yeah. I think they made a mistake. And again, I might be wrong.

Maybe the numbers kind of are back in what they're doing and they're making buck. I think they're making a mistake by thinking that making this the first interactive experience that people will shell out this amount of money. Because when someone, I forget the name and actual reporter, they kind of asked them and they were like, so much and, oh, this is the first one. You can't do anything else.

There's nothing else like this over. They're kind of trying to validate that price point. It didn't sell me. I just sounded more like you're going to pay it and you don't have any options.

And I think that's a mistake instead of making it more affordable for everyone in some different version. And also making it so it gives us between the last Jedi and the rest of Skywalker. Which is some of the complaints from Galaxy S edges is just in this time point. Now you don't have looks like a woken Vader, Chewbacca's there because of course Chewbacca there's no Kenobi, all of the other characters I would love for not there because it's in this small time period.

I think doing this again, I can't believe they didn't kind of learn from that from Galaxy S edge and the same thing here. I have the suspicion that they're going to shift the timelines. Yeah. Because I don't think it's a coincidence that both of the two and what's it called?

The Halcyon? The Halcyon is appearing in different time spaces. Yeah. So I could see them in five years being like, hey, we're going original trilogy now.

And you're like, okay, cool. Yeah, I mean Halcyon is in the high republic. Halcyon is now in that new Han Solo and Leia book that's coming. That's where they had their honeymoon.

Obviously it's in the sequel trilogy time period. So the Halcyon is everywhere. All right. So I think we're talking about the Star Crocs.

So if you guys, again, in the comments or so, let's know what's the same. Give me an experience hanging out with Dean and Grogu. Again, the most, I know the two characters that everyone loves right now, hardcore fans and brand new fans, Grogu and Dean Jaren, they're not in the park. They're not in the cruiser.

You imagine someone dressed as freaking Mando walking down Galactus Edge. Don't be mind blowing. Carrying a little Grogu in a backpack. I saw a video like this little girl interacting with someone with like a puppet Grogu, but I was like, oh, yeah, that was so cool.

So, you know, if this like random person could do it like what could this do? Yeah. Well, apparently not that. Anyway, let's move on.

Well, let us know in the comments what you think about the Galactus Star Crocs. If you have $6,000, would you go? Oh, no, so I'm going to go play some lottery after this. I'm going to get it.

All right. So the second news of the day comes from which one? I don't know which one we're doing next. Oh, the return of Palpatine could Palpatine return for that Kenobi series, which has no trailer yet.

We all thought it was coming Monday because I don't even remember what. Oh, because Kenobi had a his Twitter account is there. It's locked. We had the under one today, but no trailer.

Anyway, so in an interview, which I believe was from last year, we just got picked up last week with the Metro newspaper. Yeah, Mac, they're not very known as Emperor Palpatine said that if Vader is back for the Kenobi series, why can the Emperor be back at some point? And a lot of people took that almost as official news that Palpatine is going to show up in the Kenobi series. They just jump like 20 paces.

They don't care. I read what he said and nothing gave me any indication that he's going to be in anything. You put this down as a news no, because everyone talked about it. Like 35 videos of this and I read it this morning.

This morning, like two hours ago, just to write this little paragraph. So I read what he actually said. Like, this is a new story. He doesn't say anything, but it's here.

Let's talk a little bit about it. Do you think we might see Palpatine in the Kenobi series? Do you want him to show up? Does it make sense?

It's around, but I don't know. Yeah, a quick thought. They all had a good idea prior topic, maybe like dividing weeks and months, depending on the theme in the park. That would be kind of cool.

Yeah. I mean, it's Florida. I mean, there's four seasons. I know Florida doesn't change too much, but it's summer.

Now, in Tatooine and Jakku, it's winter. Let's go to Hoth or all the runners on with it. Yeah, I agree. I mean, okay, I mean, okay, Harry Potter has two parks.

Star Wars can have two on deck. Anyway, Palpatine, it will be back in Kenobi. Anyway, maybe something else. One of the others we got, andor, we got Akolite, whatever.

This is what I'll say. I don't think the interior was a hint at anything. I think it's comments were actually pretty clear. I didn't take any subtext or anything.

I do think he's going to be on the Kenobi show. However, however, however, however, I don't think if he shows up with a lightsaber and starts fighting. Oh, no. Yeah.

Okay. I kind of think it's going to be a very, very minor role. Maybe just because Palpatine and Vader have a very interesting relationship from Return of the Jedi all the way to Return of the Jedi. That time span, they have basically a cold war between each other.

Maybe seeing Vader get the news that he can always alive. He's out there and maybe lying to Palpatine and Palpatine being like, this guy's trying to fool me. He doesn't know I'm 1,000 steps ahead. I think if done correctly, I think it could work and it wouldn't feel like force.

He's around. He's the emperor. He's Darth Vader's boss. For me, it makes sense.

Forced? It's not forced. Yeah. Okay.

So I don't know. I hadn't thought about it. I saw the interview or whatever he said. Again, from five months ago, I now got picked up.

It'll be funny if he's there. Maybe Vader just has a hologram talk with him for two minutes and that's it. That's what I'm saying. Or maybe at the end of the show, maybe there's a scene with each other.

He's like, you failed. Yeah. I'm trying to because when a new hope Vader's talking to talking and all the other guys about Kenobi, they're like, yeah, whatever. There's not everyone's that religion is there.

The only thing that's left. So no one thinks that he's around. So why? What happened between now they can always show on there?

The Palpatine know that Kanobi was still around and didn't do anything. But again, Palpatine knows everything. So maybe he's like, whatever. He's just an old man over there.

He's part of my plan. Right. But also remember all of this happened and everything. But like Palpatine's one of his main jobs was to like suppress the existence of the Jedi so like maybe he finds out Kanobi's out there.

He's like, you know, let's spend this. Yeah, I mean, it's easy. How dare they hold on it. It's easy to corrupt.

So nor how would prefer older Cody than Palpatine. Why not? We can just bring Cody so I can hate on him a little bit more. And they all does not believe that Kanobi will not be able to be in the.

Yeah. I'll say it again. Why not both? And I won't get mad if Ian McDermott like shows up like he would think whatever you think about right now.

He was great in that movie. He was like one of his like best moments at Palpatine. I won't complain if he comes back and you know, like has like two or three iconic lines. I mean, give me Palpatine as the emperor talking to the Senate or something.

I like to bring down the same. Right? And you have better or something forget about Vay there and Kenobi give me the Senate and starting to bring that and crumble that down. That would be a better one.

Yeah, that could really work. All right. We said it. So Star Wars better be.

I just wanted to be like recorded. I think he's going to be in the show. All right. And now because of his interview, I just think that interview.

Yeah, that interview has zero effect on this. We'll see. It's not that far. No trailer.

You know what? If he's on the show, people are going to like turn him into the new Tom Holland. Oh, he did not leak any. No, no.

Cody makes more sense. I've seen a lot of four years. People say maybe that's the villain. Maybe it's Cody trying to finish the job because he messed it up.

Cody was the easiest job ever. And okay, we'll be like a bounty hunter. Like something down can only what I don't want is for Cody to show up and now be redeemed. Oh, the chip.

I'm sorry. I'm done with all the clones now being good guys after early 66. I'm sorry, but we have the bad back for that. I don't want Cody now to be.

Oh, let me turn the chip. Rex comes in, fixes the chip and now the old body body again. No, give me Cody as the villain. If he's there, try to do the job.

And I know, of course, get the more and more is on by just a short what? Don't make a face. No, no, no, no. It goes against what you're saying.

No, say it. Like just think about like the emotional like implications of this. Can you imagine like Rex and Cody with can all be fighting Darth Vader? I think we see.

Sorry. No, no, that's not. Oh, okay. And at the end, like, you know, then Cody dies because Vader kills him.

Yes. Now I'm on board and kill Rex. He's about to kill Rex. Cody jumps into the thing and dies.

All right. All right. Maybe. And I don't like Rex being at the end of the Jedi.

So no, he's in rebel. So he can do it. All right. All right.

Alright, but then we'll see if he's back. All right. So the next new topic. We'll go through this very quick.

Not a lot, but we got new covers and new books this past week. I cover a review for Kirsten White's Padawan and for something full on Kristen Bravers, the art of Star Wars, the High Republic. So there is, it was announced last year, three new books are coming Padawan. That is this quite gonna Kenobi story, Brotherhood, which is more Kenobi with Anakin.
