TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

The bellings built on hooks. And welcome to a special episode of regular Midnight Star Wars podcast is Halloween. So we're here. I'm your host, I'm your host, everyone with us.

On the other side, second host, Oti. Oti, how are you today? Good. Alright, that's enough.

That's enough of that. Alright, there we go. Oh, Brandon, see how you doing, Brandon. Hey, Brandon.

Alright, it's our Halloween episode, Oti. Are you a Halloween person? Adam? I'm not a Halloween person.

Alright, now for any particular reason we can talk about it, you know, as we go along, but... No, not a Halloween person. It's something. I always liked it.

I decorate the house. I get dressed up if I can. But even the states, I don't know. It took another level.

Like in general, people are really into it. It's like, since mid-set them, people are already decorating their houses, my kids are going to have a party today. It's everyone's crazy already. It's a capital something.

I always have Christmas things in Walgreens. Oh, yeah, Christmas. If we go to a store store, it's all Christmas. I am however a Christmas person.

Yeah. I love Christmas. I love the food. I tried to lose a few pounds before the Christmas.

The holiday season goes on. Oh, okay. Yeah. Not during.

It's impossible. Especially in Puerto Rico. So much good food. Yep.

Alright. Everyone, that's all the time for joining us today. Thanks, Brandon, for being here as always. I want to thank everyone that might join us later today or when you watch this later on.

I'm doing it free time. Thanks for being here. Make sure you subscribe to our show if it's your first time joining us. For some reason you haven't subscribed.

I think that's what I brought this week. Like, comment down below, thumbs up and all that. If you're listening to this on the other podcast, thanks for taking a couple of minutes to listen to us. And give us a written review wherever you listen to your podcasts.

We tried to talk a little bit before, but we didn't have a lot of time. Things over there. There's a lot of raining Puerto Rico people going nuts. You were not going to say Lakers.

We're still early. I mean, I got here. I usually get like five to 10 minutes before we start. Thing is, as we were talking, it's been raining here since Wednesday today.

It hasn't rain that much as I was walking here. I saw I was getting cloudy. But last night, all hell broke loose. It rain for the entire day.

Like the whole whole day. And last night, like everything flooded. Like everything. And you saw pictures.

I saw pictures from a, thank God I didn't go to the office because I was going to go. And I don't want to ride there. And the people at my office couldn't leave because the first floor of the parking was flooded and they took it out. So, yeah, that was crazy.

And there are a lot of like the main streets where people, like you saw people had to turn around because they were going to, you know, around the car. And so, you know, whenever it rains, whenever we have things like this, like power outages and communication schedule, crazy. And I'm saying, my parents, I was because I'm taking care of the dog. And they don't have great Wi-Fi with the show there.

Like they didn't have Wi-Fi throughout the entire day. So, like, I was going to use a hotspot, but I was like, you know what, I'll just arrive to my apartment and do it there. And I got here and as I said, everything up, like it took me a little while. So that's why I was like, it's fine.

It's fine. And also, I'm very glad I wanted to say I changed up some Wi-Fi things. And I was like, there's like a cable mess. So when I got here, I had to finish setting everything up because I had started, but then I had to leave to my parents.

And I don't know how the show is going to go on. I'm seeing it. I have like, very steady Wi-Fi. I've been doing my podcast on StreamYards.

I have not had no issues. No issues. You and me and Rayta Rebellion. It's something.

It's already relevant. Connector is not working. Now has taken over and set up a storm. And now on the Empire disrupting our communication.

Yeah, the communication with us have been knocked down. But hopefully we'll be fine. So I've been reading. I've finally started reading I off darkness.

It's still on the embargo till Wednesday, I think. And then it comes out of 14. So it's still time. So I really can't say anything.

It's so good. I'm like 40% into it. It's so good. It's what I kind of wanted.

I've been back. I'm on phase one, characters. It's just a prologue. I'm just going to say, it's a Mark Young Row prologue.

There's some new characters. Mark Young Row doing his stuff. It's a bad man. We love him.

I'm talking about it too much. I'll leave it there when you get it started reading. I'm not sure. It says it's getting here on the 14th.

Cool. Yeah. All right. So let's go ahead and talk some Star Wars.

So if you guys are ready, I'm not ready. Let's talk Star Wars and Star Wars news. Star Wars news. All right.

I was going to say our friend. We don't know. Sean Levi has been doing some interviews for his upcoming Netflix series. Let me hear it.

Miniseries. All the night we cannot see. And he was asked by Variety about working on his Star Wars. And I'm reading this from, I took this from Star Wars news net.

And he mentioned a conversation he had with Catherine Kennedy. And quote, he says, when Cathy Kennedy brought me on board to make a Star Wars movie, her central mandate to me was, I want to show him Levi movie. I want a story and a tone that reflects you and your taste and what you bring to the movies with a Star Wars story. So I felt extremely empowered.

He added in a separate quote. So I'm going to, I'm going into that development of my Star Wars movie with a similar optimism and faith that my instincts will be allowed to lead the way. There's another quote I'm going to get there in a minute. I mean, not the next kind of scrolling down there right now, but this movie hasn't been announced.

Right? This is for some reason. So Levi said he's working on Star Wars movie and I don't know anything right now. So how does Lucasfilm work like?

Don't say anything we don't announce, but yeah, it goes. Yeah, he was saying I talked with Captain Kennedy. So he's either a liar or really. He's like my star wars because he was asked about freedom of doing Marvel movies because his work is doing that for three.

He's working for Irenos before, my Grafalo. And he said, yeah, so I'm going to bring that. It's been great. I'm going to bring all that to my Star Wars movie.

It's like, dude, it hasn't been announced. What are you doing? I'm scared. But that's separate.

I'm not going to say that he's a liar. I'm scared. Best case scenario, we got to start with a word that wasn't announced. Worst case scenario, we don't get to start with a word.

So that's a scary story. Another right. I mean, that worries me in this fandom that every time something happens, let's blame, let's blame, look at film for another failed movie. This hasn't been officially announced.

So if for some reason this doesn't happen or it's 10 years in the future, I know that Sean Levi's talking about it. Look at him. He hasn't announced this. So she'll a little bit.

But my question to you for this quote, do you think directors, creators, and we talked a little bit about this last week in a different sense? When you hear him say, oh, I'm going to do a Sean Levi movie or Captain Kennedy said do a Sean Levi movie. Should it be a Sean Levi movie or should it be a Star Wars movie? Does it matter?

Because there's a fine balance to make something feel like it's Star Wars and it's not just sci-fi. But they need that creativity because we went through this with solo, right? They hired, I just forgot the name from Spider Wars. Lord of Milit.

Yeah, Lord of Milit. They're going to do solo when they saw the daily supposedly was solo in their place. Okay, now we got to ring it back. But now it's yes, only if I go do your stuff.

Where's the balance? I think the balance is as long as your style doesn't go over what Star Wars is supposed to be. I don't think a S.S. Neither vision works with it.

Sure. I don't think David Fincher vision works with Star Wars. Nothing against those directors. I love David Fincher.

I hate that he's an I-list. And S.S.A.A.A.A. can't be an I-list story. So I think that's where the balance is.

Sean Lee, I'll be super honest. I have not seen Frig. I have not seen the other, the Adam Project. Adam Project.

I have not seen any of those movies. I did see his Stranger Things episode. So I don't really know what his sensibilities to action movies is. So, yeah.

I saw, I think both of them. I really enjoyed Frig. I've seen a couple of times. There's a scene with a lightsaber that Ryan Reynolds gets to use.

It's very funny. I mean, you got Tiger Whitty in it as an over the top video game creator, which is Fizzing Perfectly. So I do think that works is you want to go more committed about action comedy for Star Wars. I wasn't a big fan of Adam Project.

Didn't work for me. A lot of people did. I didn't feel the connection they wanted. It's this time travel kind of goes back and meets his younger self.

And there's this issue within him and his dad that I didn't feel the relationship, the tension between the relationship didn't work for me. Yeah, this happened. Me and my dad don't touch away. The whole movie goes by.

I didn't feel that they needed to reconnect. So I'm like, whatever, we'll see. So we'll see with that quote is very different. It's more control, of course, with MCU, compare this in time with Lucasfilm.

So I don't know. It's because then you go to something like Andor, right? You can say that Andor is more of a Tony Gilroy thing that I saw was what it worked. It felt like Star Wars.

It still feels like Star Wars. Yes. That's what I mean. It's a more gritty and darker story for you too.

But the Star Wars themes are still there. We went through this entire Star Wars season and the end is like, no, hope is alive. We'll always try on. So yeah, you know what I'm not looking forward to when he releases that full three and everyone starts going, this is the moment.

Now we need to have an R rated Star Wars. This is it. This is the guy who's going to do it. He can work with balance.

Fuck you. We don't need R rating Star Wars, but FU. You know, if it were up to me, every Star Wars movie would be rated G. I mean, they were, for the most part, until, um, revenge, or the six or what's it for?

It was something. So it's, and I know 70s and 80s, like PD was all over the place. It was difficult. I think they did not exist.

Yeah, I didn't. But look at the film again. Yeah, I don't want R rating in Star Wars. It takes away even the, for the Empire that they wanted, it's more than to say, more than approach to say.

I'm perfectly fine with the alternate line. Fight the Empire. It's what she was pushing. We gotta fight them.

So we'll see. No R. Brandon has spoken. So let's go to his third quote in this interview.

His friends with Mark Ruffalo, Mark Ruffalo talked a little bit about Marvel and how Mark was going to Star Wars, but he's also friends with Alan Driver that all Star Wars fans know him as Kylo Ren slash Ben Solo. He did. What was that movie? I don't know.

I read it. I didn't write it down. I know they did. I'm always together.

Oh, I saw it. It's really. This is where I leave you. I love that movie.

I was kind of funny. I don't know. I mean, he's great and everything he does. Sorry.

I think a couple of weeks after Forza awakens. It was like right there. I was getting obsessed with Alan Driver. All right.

I saw it. It was a year before. I saw 65 a couple of weeks ago. I saw it on a plane the other day.

I didn't like it as much. It's okay. It's fine. Weird.

I don't think it was a reload movie. I don't think it was a reload movie. No. Anyway, so he was with Alan Driver.

He was as, I looked. Okay. He was then asking his friend with Alan Driver was he planning a prequel to the Forza Awakens family in Kylo Ren. And surely I said your words not mine.

As you know, Alan was about it. And I've always been a huge fan of Kylo Ren. But no comment. It was kind of a toning chick question.

I don't think there's any rumors about this. But how do you feel about a prequel Kylo Ren movie? We've got the comics. We're still some wiggle room, I guess.

Let's say five years before the Forza Awakens. Are you up to a Kylo Ren prequel? Or are you like, yeah, we're kind of done with this character? I know you don't believe in Ben Solo coming back as a full-on character, but I wouldn't mind a Kylo Ren prequel.

I mean, I would have minded. I don't think like, I don't know. Would I be upset about it? No, I love the character.

I've just done I love the story is. If I had any, it's the same thing. When we were getting a Boba Fett movie, like, oh, okay, what's the movie about? It's not about just Boba Fett sitting down and being like, yeah, Boba Fett.

Oh, so tell me what the story is and then I'll make a movie. It would be cool. I'm just sitting on Jaws' throne. I'm Boba Fett.

Speaking of myself, I'm a Boba Fett. I do Boba Fett things. Some people say that's what the TV show was about. There was a rumor.

I don't know that some people are saying that they already tracked the name of the Rey movie. Have you heard that one? I saw it yesterday, actually. What are the numbers?

It's very basic, very easy to say. Star Wars and New Beginnings. Yeah, maybe. What ever could you say so?

I mean, if that's the name, like, okay. I don't know the name. That's the one you picked? Yeah.

New Beginnings. Because we couldn't think of anything new for a movie. I don't like most of the Star Wars titles, so that's just another thing. Yeah.

I hate the title. Oh, Rise of Skywalker. All right. So let's go to our main topic, which I don't see how this goes.

And it's, like I said, it's a Halloween special. So let's go. Let's go Halloween specials. Wait, wait.

Oh, there you go. There you go. There you go. That's so scary.

Because we have different music at the beginning now. Yeah. We gotta keep it fresh. I don't know.

All right. So this is, I don't even know what I'm doing this episode because these are one of the type of shows I hear because I'm sure I'm gonna forget everything that happens in the comics, in the TV shows, in the 800 Clone Wars episodes. I'm gonna leave something. But we'll try.

Let's talk about some scary scenes in Star Wars, scary location, characters, whatever. So I cannot tweet it out the other day. I haven't done a lot of planning for today. I get a little bit of notes.

Oh, see how it goes. So Star Wars is, it has its, I don't want to say jump scares. So it has its several scenes that can be a little bit scary. I know you're a big horror fan out there.

I got it. You're doing on your own podcast. I can't wait to end the podcast and go with horror movies. Okay.

We'll be quick because my kids are going to Halloween party at seven. So I got to finish up early anyways. All right. But you know, we don't think about Star Wars.

I want to think about scary stuff. Star Wars is not what jumps to mind. When you think about it, there's a few things out there. Yeah, there are elements for sure.

Yeah. And I think in recent years, there's been some stories that can be a little bit scary. We got Lego. We got that Lego terrifying tales.

That was pretty cool. I mean, every year they're doing like this Halloween comic like Tales from Vegas Castle. Yeah. That was pal that's Tales from the Death Star.

Which I haven't read. So I'm probably going to be working on a piece that I didn't. So let's start with scary scenes, sorry, scary places or scary locations. I'm going to start with Exegol.

I think Exegol is a very scary spooky, plating Star Wars that was going through this a few years ago. We got a different view of it, I guess, in Shadow of the Sith when they were trying to find their way to it. I just love the music that we get in Rise of Skywalker. It works again that show today.

Of course, with all the thunder and lightning that we also see with the Dark Side, our secret plan of the Sith, the CDOS is there with just hanging from this machine. We're getting pumped with DNA juices or whatever. And then we have all the failed clones, I guess, of... I mean, that's like when we have these Nazi horror movies and they find the secret lab that we're working on.

That's basically the equivalent. Yeah. And then we have the whole game called Overlord. Oh, definitely German one.

So cool. Yeah. I forget his name. Kurt Russell's son, the hunter.

Wyatt? Wyatt Russell, yeah. That's so awesome. I'm just remembered.

Yes, I'm pretty sure I saw that one. But Exegol, I wish we could get more stories. You think there's... I mean, you got pretty much destroyed last time.

I don't know if... I don't know if... I don't know if I can get more. It's the whole time.

Like, this is where the temple. It's just had this mental image of aliens watching Notre Dame burn down. And then they're like, oh, Earth got destroyed. I hope we get more stories here.

I think they don't quite know what to do with it because it could open like this cataphone. I was like, oh, the Sith planet. But I really hope they use it. It's a fun place.

It's interesting. It's creepy. It's different. So I really hope we see it come back.

And again, like they destroyed a temple. It's a whole planet. It had a whole civilization that praised it. What happened with them?

Like, I mean, a lot of them died, but not all of them. Yeah. All those things that are in also. And then they're like, anything close by, but they like transport them there.

Yeah, it's a commute. Once you're there, it's like a moon, you work, you live there. There's no like, Costco, everyone. Like, like, I guess it's like the aliens in world worlds that come down in their lightning.

So everybody's like, they're just coming to work. They're sitting there. They're in the sky. They're like, I'm late, I'm late.

I got to go to the next lightning. But I love that planet. I love the way it worked in Rachel Skywalker. I love Kylo Renjos taking that weird elevator down with those sea statues next to it.

And how is public speaking to him? Is there like a P.A. system? He's like, I mean, my mic.

There's a lot of echo. The world voice. And he gets up. Just get me down.

So we're freaking weird, Papa thing. Talking about, it's not scary. What kind of nasty to look out? No finger now.

Just, I'm all the safe. All right. Anyway, I'll never get over him getting like unlimited power and using it to make some new robes. It's so stupid.

Whatever it works. It's just what it do over the top. It's of all the things. And finally I got all, I'm all the safe.

Oh, wait, I got to put my renewing robes. It was so fine. I know a lot of people use that to create a sense. I think that's like a super-poverty thing to do.

I'm putting on new robes. It's just one of those things that's waiting behind the column with the robe. Now? You don't see me.

Oh, yeah, I love it. But another place, and this meeting started forever. But I do remember being scared of it when I was a little kid. This is so likely.

That's a scary location, especially if you're going to be digested for a thousand years or literally, you're just falling down. That's scary. No? Jabba's got you.

You know what? We're taking it to a pit of our cool. I mean, for me, that was like the place where the bad guy dies. Bad guy's not.

I didn't really think about it. Also, I need to mention that the first time I saw a return of the day, I didn't speak English. So I couldn't get any of the, you know, I don't speak English. And even if I did speak English, I didn't know what that tested me.

So I didn't really think about that. It was just a whole, a whole in the sand. People just falling down. I don't know.

It was kind of scary. I don't like the big. I don't like the tentacles. I could have done without the big.

I've never, I don't remember ever seeing it. Like, I have the big specialised that I've watched, but like, I don't remember. The first time I saw Star Wars, I wasn't DHS, so I didn't see it without the big. But for me, always had the big.

I love it. It's not so scary now after reading from a certain point of view. There's a story with the Sarglak that for me didn't need to be there. It kind of changes what the Sarglak is.

It's a weird thing about it. Like, you've thought about that for 40 years and now you're really... You want me to tell you what this story is? You haven't read it.

You've been telling Sarglak to change my mind on anything. It's a vegetarian. That's not like it's a vegetarian. And he gets in the jazz scene when all these metal pieces are falling in and all these plastic from the armor.

Oh, it's giving me the jazz scene. Why are you doing this? I'm just trying to eat my plants that you'll destroy because this part of that doing used to be a lush forest and now it's just saying. So it's a vegetarian.

It's kind of weird. I did like how we got there. There is this, I don't want to say pergos, but they're just flying in space. He's one of these parts.

I guess they all kind of went, no separate ways. So he got separated. He's just eating these plants that used to be a lush rainforest and just eating all these plants that all these animals were in by. But then, through thousands of years, he becomes one of these now and he doesn't like getting all that weird food.

I'm not going to get very butt actually with this, but I'm not sure if that's why he wasn't a lot of ocean planet. Or maybe ocean, lush forest, maybe I forgot. Anyway, the point is it wasn't saying that he didn't like eating people. Alright, dodge side caves and dodge side visions.

There we go now. Alright, so let's start off with the first one. The first one is the Empire Strikes Back. That's still not just visually, but what it means, what it represents for the characters.

You're not your worst nightmare, but this is... What do you take with you? Your choice. This is one of the future.

So that's a very interesting concept and the way it's presented is very scary or spooky. Talking about not understanding what's going on, the first time I saw that scene, it's just dark, very helmet-y with Luke's face. I didn't know what that meant for probably 20 years since when I watched it the first time. But very scary scene and then it goes to jumping off to the sequel to the end of the last time the dark side cave or the mirror cave, then Ray goes through this.

Again, also showing her the choices and his to make. And to a lesser extent, even in Ahsoka, that vision, Force goes, whatever that was in episode 5, it's way better to be sent for the characters. So that choice that they're going to have to make. And then even if we're going to talk about evil or dark ray in Rise of Skywalker, those are scenes.

Okay, here we go. This is scary, but it pushes the story forward. I wish the whole visiting the Star Ruins would have been a little bit more fleshed out. Again, none of these moments are fleshed out that much.

They're just things that happen. But I think that was the perfect set for having a couple of jump scares in there. Oh, yeah. It would have been, I know I've seen from the art of book that they had all this concept, the stormtroopers and even if it's just the armor there, you know that there's a body that used to be a body there.

They got a little bit in the pastana, right? There's Ochi skeleton just there, but not really a jump scare, but those caves, that first one in Empire. You can't remember watching that the first couple of times I've been kind of spooked out about it. I mean, I always found it creepy.

I always found it, I still to say, find it unsettling that it has like earth animals there. Yeah, that's naked there. So it's like, oh, that's in my backyard. Interesting.

But it has like this, I think like more than any other dark side place in Star Wars, it has like this very eerie feeling to it. Like you're not supposed to be there. So I do like that one a lot. I think that's the one like the most.

Yeah. I mean, they go by in itself. It's a planet you shouldn't spend too much. It's a swamp.

It's a freaking swamp. It's horrible. It's all muggy and sticky. The humidity has to be of the choice.

What's Yoda go there? Like all planets. All that. He has a little ship that can take him wherever he wants.

Oh, I must go into hiding. I must go people. Let me do a murky as planet. Where's what dark side planet?

Really? Yoda Naboo. Naboo's fine. Go to the lake.

It's not gonna go to Naboo. It's freaking better in Naboo. Anyway, so let's go to another one that just made its return in the ending of a soggy. It's death on me.

The beach planet. The sub-rack out there. The night sister has made it home. Rancors are from over there.

It's all red. It's like a beach planet of witches on the other monsters. I remember in Fallen Order when the world first opens up to you, you get to choose where you want to go. And that time when you have to be like a couple of levels, you have to be in the higher levels because the creatures will kill you.

And I decided to go to Dathomir first. I just walked out of my ship. I looked around and I was like, nope. Let's get out of here.

Oh, man. This is what I wish I'd watched. I forget a little bit more about this. But a lot of bad things happen on Dathomir.

That's where the thousand got killed. It got destroyed like three times. A lot of bad things happen. The entire planet is not here.

That's what the whole planet is. You got messed up. That time. You can find it again.

So another planet that people kind of, if you go in there, you screw this most of all. We don't know too much about it. We're going to a little bit more again with Rasso Skywalker with that intro with Dathomir. The Mortal.

Very Mortal, of course. But it's really bad and Oculus just about that. I haven't played it since. There was a place I've already named all those places.

Sometimes they had them in Disney Springs, Downtown Disney, this VR room that you got, you could play it. And you just get the heads and you can walk around the whole thing. Yeah, it's a similar thing. So I don't remember the name, but I went to one in a movie theater in Texas.

And you played as a stormtrooper and most of all, it was awesome. I went with my fiance and her brother. And we had a ton of fun. It's a big room.

They gave me a blaster. It's pretty awesome. Yeah, I couldn't go. I don't mind told me he was going or he had gone already.

You got to go check it out. And I think I went like a week after they kind of removed it. So I couldn't play it. It's one of those things I wish I could have gone and done that.

But Musa for this volcano planet, Darth Vader being talking about dramatic people, the place where one of his greatest defeats or his first one, and he just makes his own because he wants to suffer and just reminds me of all the Empire. He's a big empire. Okay. Musa for there's little termite people that live there.

You got to harvest the lava talking about a bad commute in Exegold. This is not this is pretty bad also. Yeah. Musa for the rest of the walkers who go there and go everyone.

It's one of those places. Every time it shows up on screen, we all lose our mind. It's a monster fire. I think I've seen Vader's castle down there.

It's so little spires. We haven't got a lot of stopping Vader's, but it's I think Exegold. I don't know, but I think Exegold could have a similar effect because it's. Oh yeah.

Was this thing that was so cool in the movie. It was used that every time we get to see it, it's like, oh, we'll get to be here again. So and then you know, like the whole mythology of it like, oh, and then Vader built his castle there. And then I was like, oh, that's cool.

Even seeing the castle at the end of can always like, oh, very much. I need Rogue One. I need a general one. They were like undisclosed location or something like that.

It's so far. It's this lava. We know. We know what it is.

I just freaking floating there is on this. Any other place or location that you might think of before we jump to another two scary creatures. I'm sure there's more. So I want to mention the DM accents space station into the dark.

I think like the first time I was reading that book, like, especially like those first pages when they're there and they're exploring and this disappears, it gave me such like an alien feeling to it, like them getting out of the ship and exploring like the scene of water from there and see finding the eggs. It had that feeling and I freaking loved it while I was reading it. Speaking of, no, no, no, keep it going with the unboxing station. We made four of me last week when I asked if Peridio was going to show up in the high republic and let's feel only the high republic.

I know. But when you see how the high republic authors connect everything in the kind of rank on the American station, we have no idea what it is. It's broken down space station with glass panels and there's a story that's something happening here and three years later, it's one of the quickest places ever with the ranking, the this totem or whatever they put all the dark side into it. Oh, that's so creepy.

I mean, I'm going further in bloodline Claudia talks about the the unboxing station. Not the station DM accents specifically. Which are interesting because Snoke used that as a guy to invade and there he was hanging out at the station. Yeah.

Bloodline is one of those books, similar to rights in store and I got to go back because when it came out, it was one of the first canon books that I read and people were all over them. One of these books is so great. It's everything over. I was expecting something different.

I really enjoyed it. I got to go back and then start getting all those little clues. If you think it was missing something, yes, go over back and read it. Yeah, I got to go.

But yeah, the unboxing station, even though Snoke was there with this little cap with his wing and a little cap and the little over the slippers. Hey, Kyle. Oh, I got to go play around the golf. I'm like, okay, that looks like a story.

I'm sitting there. I don't want to watch something. Yeah, exactly. The first one is free.

Don't worry about it. All right. So that's a good one. I forgot about the unboxing station.

So let's talk about scariest creature. I'm not going to forget about this. I'm going straight to the high republic. It's scariest being out there.

I'm not actually the nameless or the leveler. There's nothing worse at these moments. It's just not way creature. No.

I remember when they said, oh, the high republic, what did Jedi afraid of? And then we got the Nara, the Dragon of the Dragon of the Dragon of the Dragon of the Dragon of the Dragon. Oh, is this it? Yeah.

They talked about the hyperspace that they used it in a dangerous way. Are we like, how are these three going to be so scared? Oh, oh, okay. Wow.

Wow. Okay. I don't think that I got. I have darkness.

So the nameless are these creatures, people out there that little to us, you know what you know what the high patterns, right? They're weird creatures. I can't describe that. Tentacles.

Yeah. It's even one of them. This last book that kind of said the skin is too tight but at the same time, too big you have coming out, this weird tale, did you know I don't know because they can't see them because they're kind of affects the connection to the force so they don't know what they're fighting, all their fears come out. I, oh, it's there's nothing like it in terms of...

No, we've never seen anything like this definitely. It's gonna be difficult to surpass in terms of scary creatures in the universe. Yeah, you can draw something that looks worse but the fact it has on the characters, it's gonna be very difficult to top the nameless. Yeah, no, and I think talking about scary places like those scenes and fun and star when they're walking through starlight as it's beginning to fall and there's no power and they feel something but they can't see anything.

I love that Stell and Geos encounter when he's saving the time. Oh, god, that suddenly falls. Oh, okay. Give that thought because we're gonna talk about spookiest moments later and I kind of had something very similar to that.

So, keeping with the high republic, we kind of mentioned that the ring here, which at the same time these carnivorous plants that feed on the dark side, I remember reading to the dark that the seeds were even so scared that they had to put all their energy into this statue just to hold them. I'm like, what can be so consumed in the dark side that the seeds are afraid of and they just want them to eat. I'll say this, for me to drink beer for Paul and Lorde on the silly category. It's funny.

It's very funny. And then you use the force with them and leave some out. It's one I think when it was introduced, they were so new to what their effect was at the same time. What happened to this?

He's connected to the force was severed. They had to go do a barrage of the turn and find it. I think as the comics went on, the other were a menace out there. Yeah, that's working on the silly.

It's got a little silly for sure. And then race the crash wing tower again. They're like, hey, yeah. I'll say this.

I'm kind of disappointed on the use of the ring here. I think they were going to be more prominent after they were introducing him to the ring. Kind of like the the leveler. Like, oh, it's the sting that they didn't really don't know how to fight it.

Oh, okay, it's done. Yeah, I think they're in trouble. But it was difficult to manage the Nile, Mark and Row, the leveler plus the ring here. But it took a big chunk of the comics at this start.

No, no, they have a big art. But again, it's like if they introduced the leveler and racing start and then it gets resolved on the star as a venture comics. That was going to be bigger than it was. Yeah.

All right. But the introduction was really cool. And it's not a creature. We're going to say, it's in dark mode the first time.

It's something we don't expect to see Star Wars. It's black and red with coins all over, supposedly this kind of devil image, of course, and then Qui-gon is this rice. But the first time you see dark mode, especially if you're a kid in 1999, yeah, let's go see Star Wars, because we just were in here. So what the hell is this?

I was gonna look, no, I was six when I saw this movie. I was not afraid of dark. Cool. Sorry.

Cool. All right. He was, he wasn't scary. He was just a cool guy with the lights.

Okay, here we go. I'm gonna erase my little. I know you're trying to hold where you went for. So when it's 19 or 18 or 19.

I was six and you're trying to tell me what I was supposed to be scared of. Yes. No, that might be too old. It's like a knife.
