Alright, before we start, I see someone's out there, our friend Tony, Tony's called Legend, how are you doing Tony, thanks for joining us, you probably know what it is, but hello fan, hope you're all doing well, we're doing fine, Tony up here, I know you're up there, right, Chicago or something, it's a lot of storms in the noise this week, we saw those videos from New York, everything's flawless, if you guys are out there, just stay safe, we're still in the middle of hurricane season, I know it's almost October, it'll be October tomorrow, we'll think about fall, but storm season is still brewing, so you know what might happen, I don't know what this is for you guys out there, but that's what we're doing here Tony, taking the day to join us today.
We'll start as you see down there, we can still have a little crawl going for the rider strike and actor strike for said and WGA, but news that rider strike, already riders came into agreement with the studios, and seems that their strike is over, riders will be back next week doing their stuff, so congratulations to them for holding out and getting everything that they need and they deserve, we'll keep that scrolling down there for that, in the future we still have the actors right going on, with stack, hopefully they'll get a good deal also because we need it, or they need it I should say, and we'll keep in solidarity with them as we keep talking about this, you know, so much with their PUPs and the Vroom Room and beep beep, we've got some sassy angry droids this week, so we're gonna get into that, and I think that's it, I think we're ready to go ahead, so if you guys are ready, I'm ready, let's start Star Wars, and of course Star Wars on TV, Star Wars on TV, So Katana, So Katana, there we go, that's we got a little alti feel right there, alright, so we had a Suka episode 7, this is the penultimate episode, we have, this is the last episode before the finale, and I'm gonna preface by saying this, people might think that I hated this episode and I didn't, I'm gonna, there's a lot of things I wish they did different, I'm gonna highlight those as we do, I talked today, but in general I really like this episode, it was a good episode, it was a solid episode, even an episode that we needed after those two emotional heavy impactful episode that we had previous two weeks with the World between Worlds in Anakin again, the Clone Wars flashback, and then of course this past episode, not this one, episode from last week when we finally found Ezra, Thrawn came in, we talked how much we love that episode, my favorite episode of Star Wars television so far, so we needed something to, I don't say pump the brakes, but we need a brake, we've talked about this before that the time I have some hot takes, we'll see, we'll see, I will talk about this before probably with Mando, or maybe with Ando, I don't know, that after having hit an episode, very action filled or emotional episode, the next one you need to bring it back down, we talked about, I listened to Heavy Metal and to Hot Rock, you can just have Anderson and Master of Pop back to back to back to back, you need nothing else matters, very too black, you kind of bring everything down, collect your thoughts, and those are very emotional sounds, but then get back into it, which I think this episode was, I don't know if the placement work, and I'll probably talk about that more at the end, but actually, this didn't feel like a it wasn't a setup for the finale, I don't feel like, okay here we go, next week is gonna be this impactful episode, we got all these threats pulling around, we still don't know, there's we don't know what this balance plan is, we know that Ron is filling up, he's a star destroyer, how are they getting back, Estrad doesn't even know what the hell is going on, so still that didn't feel like a finale, and I'll probably repeat this at the end, but it feels like Phil only wrote this season, like it was gonna be like a 10 episode season instead of eight, like we still had like two more episodes to go before the finale, or at least one more to set everything up and then the finale, doesn't feel like man, this left us ready for the finale, it's like okay, what's a good episode, but what's going on, where are we going, and again, all this note here, so I'm gonna be throwing some Star Wars comparison, comparison, especially for that set up from the penultimate episode to the final episode of a season, I'll mention that in a little bit, but before we go in getting to the episode starts with Hera's trial, which was good, a few weeks ago, Altimension that they were repeating some bits with Sabine, that she kind of went away from what she told us, she was gonna do, she took that or to her place and she lost it and all that happened then in episode four, I guess, when she's not supposed to give them the order to try to destroy it and she goes again while she told us she was throwing to do so, they're repeating those bits. So Hera's quote unquote trial, more a hearing, I guess it was. To me, even though it was entertaining, of course, because she almost been a jerk, I will keep it PG or to her, it was being a jerk and I mean, Hera just throwing everything back in her face like, no, I didn't disobey all the recorders, I just disobeyed you and I was like, ooh snap, it's the same thing that happened when they had the conversation back in episode three, you see, saying that they don't need that and she just rebuilding kind of, oh, did you ever find any wall? Are you just waiting to see which I came up on top?
So it seemed like the same bits and I had the same issues, or I'm just like, oh, so this trial, it wasn't too long, so it didn't take a lot of the episodes of the episode runtime. I cannot wish, maybe it was even shorter, we didn't to see the same bits over and over, maybe Hera coming out from the courtroom, whatever you want to call it, and kind of, oh, it was great to get that message from Leia, kind of last minute and then see to show so, but something quick to just get us moving, but then probably I will be complaining, oh, we needed more time to release, visit all that. So my first story to make in comparison is season two of Strange New Worlds, episode two is Una Ching Rylis, the number one, her trial for similar things, and of court martial, this is a whole episode, and I'll say it's not my favorite episode of the season, so I'm not gonna say that Star Wars needed to do a whole episode on Hera's trial, that will be an unknown, but what that episode did right, that I see myself coming back to this episode in Star Wars and then in episode three when, again, Hera's addressing the new Republic, is that we don't see both sides of it, right? If when on Star Trek, when they were doing this, we saw the reason why what she was doing was wrong, and the reason why it was right, and there were, whatever, people kind of defending her, other people saying why what she was doing was wrong, all these evidence, again, we didn't need all this, we had Carson Teweck and a step up and say, hey, what about the battle of Mandalore where all this happened?
And also, it's like, Cion, that's the only one that cares about this, right? No one else that cares, Monmouth not doesn't care, the other senators don't care about this trial, they understand, they don't understand this is a very terrible issue of Trump coming back, others just don't care because it's okay, so why is even Cion giving so much power to do this hearing? He asked a question, then he's, I don't know, he didn't like her answers, his objection, can you read just Dury, Loy, everything at the same time, Cion? So anyway, I didn't love the trial, I did, of course, like when Chopper was ready to jump the bleachers and beat his ass up, and it's all this mere joy, what I'm ready for, I had to keep him back, so I didn't enjoy that, but again, he just played for the same kind of jokes that first time that Cion is this guy that we just don't like, and then Hera's just gonna tear her mouth off on him, and I would appreciate, I don't know if I appreciate it, but if when they have that back and forth and they're arguing that someone else in the Senate in that little community, even Monmouth, if we want to say, well she has to be in partial, okay, there's only three senators, you're gonna step up and say, okay, you guys, you gotta stop with that bickering, let's get into what's actually going on, but anyway, then we get C-Tripio, which, oh, what do you guys think about C-Tripio?
You like that little cameo, is it just okay, we just need to get these legacy characters back? I didn't mind it, I understand why they can't use Leia, do we even need Leia callback or named drop, I'm not so sure, but it worked for what I needed to be, I'm kind of surprised that Cion for everything that he's arguing, he didn't even bother to look at the message, so he's gonna say, yeah, whatever, this am message, then I won't say anything, I mean, you've been complaining, look at the message, it could be just Leia's lunch order for later today, for all he knows, but whatever, so it was fine, everyone walks out, Monmouth, not like, I know this isn't happening, but you really think that Trump's coming back, and of course he's like, oh, we gotta prepare for the worst and hope for the best, which is, I guess, what we need to prepare so for the finale, right? Sorry, I guess it's hard over here, I know it's almost October, it's burning, I'm like, I'm sitting on the phone going on, it's too hot. So we're gonna soak our reach in, the new galaxy, finally reach Paridia, I love being back in the hyperspace with the whales, the whole rainbow colors going around, the way the whales look, one thing you cannot knock this show on is the special effects, I think that Cion is special effects, especially the last three episodes have been as good as anything you will see, I'll be in television even in the Star Wars movie, I love the whales coming out of hyperspace, I love when, I soak it like, oh, we gotta get out, because she knows we're getting bombarded and she, the whale, Star-wail can open its mouth, they fly out and just everything happening around and looks great, the whales look great, I don't know where they got a million spacemars to put around, I don't know that Morgan else, I brought that with her in the IOSA, it's kind of weird, it worked.
She goes to hide, and this is when we start seeing Thrawn being thrown, right? Playing the mind games, kind of, yeah, let's follow her into the debris field, all right, let's pull back, we don't need to waste our resources, hey, Knight, Knight, Knight, Knight, Knight, Knight, Mother, it's a great mother, so I need to help tell me where she's there, all right, start attacking again, and then when she goes out after she kind of senses where Sabine is, then they start following, and let's just let her land, we don't need to do this, it's not her target, she's trying to find Sabine and that's good for us right now, so again, we started seeing how Thrawn is using those mind games and it works great by the end of this episode, when I already did it then, but when Morgan else else bet it's like, but all I see is our enemies are back together, I tend to see that this is our win, we'll do it, she's not attacking us, right, we're just wasting time, we're filling up our trunk space, it's almost full, and then we're gonna leave this hellscape here, we don't have to care, so the longer she stays over there, the easier it will be for us, so again, Thrawn knows what she's doing, for me the MVPs of these episodes, apart from Thrawn, were the naughty, I really like love the naughty in this episode, and Ezra, and let's start talking about those two plus Sabine, Ezra, and the naughty, they cannot just cruising around in their little roaming wheels home, kind of the whole foot of this universe, they're just roaming, talking a little bit, I love Ezra and Sabine's banter, especially when Sabine mentioned that she was getting trained by, that's okay, he's like really, why are you training, well actually, no, no, no, don't worry, you were training a little bit when I was doing my own stuff, so I love that little banter, especially a little bit later on, when she comes into the picture, man, I gotta say, Eman is fan, yes, Ezra, maybe my favorite character, I know Thrawn is there with, oh, it's great, I love Bayland, of course, but what he's done in these two episodes, that's Ezra from 100%, I've had some issues, not issues, that's not though, he took me a little bit to get into, okay, this is Hera from Rebels, okay, this is Sabine from Rebels, that's okay, we've seen her a little bit now, so I don't know what to expect, but Ezra, soon as he showed up on screen two episodes, I go and then everything that he's doing acting for Train Ezra is just what I would believe that Ezra is in this time period right now, so he's just knocking out the part very quickly becoming one of my favorites in the show, so I can't wait for this episode, and again for the movie when it comes out, season two, season four, man, when I was in Omega, you're right on it, the banter was spot on the whole episode, even, I didn't mention it before, but Ahsoka and Hu Yang, in that beginning was great, when they're having that little argument, and Ahsoka's kind of leaving him on, but you know what I said, yes, I did, and then she was kind of laughing, and of course, when she's going to go into the planet, I'll let's try that maneuver that we tried before, oh how do you even know that we're going to show up in the same galaxy, in the same planet, oh I don't know, I just hope, and school gets like well statistically, it's almost impossible, but I want you to be right, I feel that sometimes, it's not going to happen, I wish, I wish that's going to happen, it's very difficult, but that's the advantage between those Hu Yang and Hu Yang, so it was great, and then Ezra and Sabine, so here we start, they found them, they find them, so Balen and Shin, seen them from a distance, and we'll go into the little discussion of Firminos, so it's basically okay, tell them that we found them, and let's go kill them, actually you go kill them, I gotta do something else, and we'll all get into the conversation, I mean we'll get all these war grinders, right, and they go to actually before we get into that, because as much as I love the banter between Ezra and Sabine, and this is not a Star Wars problem, this is a problem in all TV shows and all movies, if people would just say what they needed to say, like people doing regular life, things would move a little bit easy, and maybe the story moves a little bit quicker, and people would act like they would actually act. Ezra's like okay, so how did you get here, oh it's complicated, don't worry about it, okay how are we getting out, we'll talk about that later, also, so I guess Ren and you, oh is she coming, it's complicated, right, they've been together for two days, he doesn't know how she got there, how they're getting out, how does Ahsoka play into this, then later at the end, oh that's almost that, but that's fine because that just happened, but those conversations need to happen, you need to be talking to the person that you spend 10 years finding, they are looking, hoping that you would find, you finally found them, and I know it's not a conversation that you want to have, but there's nothing more important, like when you're watching a TV show and there's something very important, one character needs to tell the other, oh there's no time for this, there's time, you can run and talk at the same time, you can write the audience, well actually, I don't know how we're getting out, because I had to follow those two guys that are not with me to this new galaxy, but we'll figure it out, or let's say, there has to be something now where my concern is, and I get on this later on, it's that we're piling too much into the finale, that is just gonna fall flat because it just gets resolved very easily or very quickly, or my fears that nothing gets resolved and I will get to that at the end. Hey Mo, how are you doing Mo?
Thanks for joining us today, let us know, you, both you and Tony let me know, you general thoughts on this episode, you're like you always, we'll keep up with the chat. So that's my only thing, it's people need to communicate, and it's very easy for Sabina and Ezra to kind of do the second time that we see on screen of he kind of asking, how we getting out of here, how do you get here, there's always an excuse, but anyway the finale's coming, so we get the walk riders, so I should say that the howlers, all those bandits in the howlers, which also is a great kind of look, this is I think Filoni is actually, this is actually his, non-applicates his, oh man I can believe I forgot my words, that's always, oh there we go, Filoni's auditioning, so I think Filoni's auditioning too, we're right on the right next season of Rizzo Power, and this is his backdoor pilot for it, because this is Middleers, this new galaxy is just Middleers on top to bottom, they're in the Helms Deep Pass, we saw Minas Theoris last week, we have the walk riders, we saw those bandits riding the, riding the howlers, the witches in the castles, the naughty witches, just the high-fruits, this is Middleers, and I won't complain because a lot of the rings is one of my favorite things, but you know, if you're gonna copy it, change it a little bit, right, yes, we mentioned it, Eman is perfect at Ezra, so no he comes, that's Ezra, everything, every word that comes out of his mouth is Ezra, all right, so I love, and another not to Lord of the Rings is Wendy, again with the slingshot, of course Ezra had to show them how to use a slingshot, throws the rock, and I love that the guy didn't fall down, just kind of bouncing, he's like oh and just hides, I love it, I love the naughty this whole episode, then later on they hit someone with a frying pan or with a casserole, I don't know what that was, but it worked for me, the naughty artist, not Joe, the kind of the comic relief, not too on the nose, but it works, they're the good, the uncellents from Mandalorian, they're not the same for here, I would love the naughty uncellents to me, that would be a very fun interaction, freaking dumb howler, like Sabine's, another thing that I love when Ezra cannot act Sabine when she sees Daisy Bailey and she's like oh are they with you, no, like savers, yes, I think that's later on, then when they okay, they're so rounder, we're not gonna leave anyone behind, let's go and do this, when they're walking down there, they're not this there, and then the big face of Sabine's howler cannot just remind them of my big dumb Enthys dog, he's just there, he's trying to survive, I hope he makes it out, I hope he meets the lock, get on, Lothal, it was pretty interesting. All right, before we get going with some of the actions, so Tony's saying I guess I missed, I missed that coming from her, well I grew with Mo, really cool stuff, love the dialogue in the episode, it was shot very well, I grew with the only VFX and we don't seem like a, it doesn't seem like a, prefinality, I think we're on the same page, Mo had said episode was cool, a little build up, curious to see how they wrapped it up, and that's, we'll spend more time on that at the end, but yeah that's what, how is this going again for Mo, when we started, good episode, solid episode, it just didn't feel like we're ready for the finale, and that's where I hung up a little bit, we're not, we needed something to start setting up the finale, but as we always say, let's trust Enthiloni and how everything wraps up. So it was a cool chase, it reminded me because I was watching earlier to actually those wildlife documentaries of some wild dogs chasing this pack of, a water buffalo, which of course they're gonna be able to get, but just seeing all of the wild dogs chasing this big pack of buffalo down the savannah and then trying to single out one of the small ones, reminding me of this chasing, all those big kind of roly poly ships that the naughty have going down the road or down that big plains and then you have all the howlers and the bandits on the howlers chasing them, trying to single them out, it was very kind of wildlife chase, I did enjoy that.
Alright let's say hi to our friend, mister is backswald, thanks for being here, Esso was so good that Omar wears a lot of transition from animation fell away, I think, and then Skast is my favorite of the show, only second to race, and I think I'm right there with you mister is past world, it's great, it's amazing how many little things he had, because last week he was on screen for only three minutes, boom that's extra, so not so open, it's not, and this week he was visually prominent, there weren't a lot of actually 10, 15 minutes since, but it just feels like extra, the casting in general, the casting has been great, but those two have been just fine on, so anyway, so let's talk about Baelin and Shinn before we come back to that fight when Shinn arrives, well I'm very surprised that Baelin cats Shinn outside, I know people making comparisons to when he's talking with Sabine in episode four, that your master left you, cast your side and finish your training, and people are saying, is he doing the same thing now to Shinn, I don't think it's the same, because if if I saw a abandoned Sabine during her training, it's one thing, this is, it's not abandoned her, it's just, he's saying okay, basically you're training as far as I can train you, now you have to, this is your Jedi trials, basically you have to go kill Estrand Sabine, that's where your passion leads, my lead somewhere else, so he goes to say you're on vision drive, she's in one direction, my path lies in another, he's talking about oh go and you'll join this new empire, you gotta go kill them, and I gotta go to whatever is calling me over there that I've been chasing for whatever in this galaxy, so this thing that we're going to diverge, anything else gonna happen especially on an episode like this, I was surprised by it, I'm also surprised I didn't just go and do it, or go follow what his passion was, he just stayed there to see how he's been played out, of course this is when a soca comes in, so we'll come into that, I mean, then of course his final kind of parting lessons are in patience or victory will guarantee defeat, and if this falls shadowing his own denights or Baelin, maybe he's too focused, excuse me, too focused on his victory either defeating a soca or getting to what his end goal is, like he's impatient to get to that last step and get defeated right before it, just because he thinks that his god is not, so it might be a little bit of foreshadowing about losing, she in she in she we talked about this last week, worse her mentality at she was the first half of the season, she was very gone home in stopping Ezra or stopping Sabine, I should say killing everyone, and we saw last week that when Thrawn said okay follow them and kill them when she finds Ezra, she's like are we really gonna go back on her word, you gave her your word we were gonna kill them, we told her that they can find Ezra and we're letting her find Ezra, then we'll go ahead and kill them, and she didn't seem to be on board, she didn't seem to be on board when she asked him well you're not helping, and that's when we said our paths lie in different directions, I don't know where she's at, and when she battles a soca, she doesn't battle a soca, when that's someone that soca's like drop your weapon, come with me, I can help you, I like that she didn't go with a soca at that point, but I think we're getting there, and I think I mentioned last week, it would be cool if Ezra finishes, Sabine's training helps her reach that point where she can access the force, it would be great to become from Ezra, and it wouldn't surprise me if at some point this season, I don't know if next week's episode is close enough, maybe in the movie or whatever comes after this that has this character, that's Sabine, that she can give up this dark side path, and decides to follow a soca, and then a soca wants another shot training a patty one, and takes she not her winning, I wouldn't be surprised, and that would be a good, I think I could send her for both characters, so maybe not send her way to continue that story, kind of a soca realizing that maybe she wasn't the best master for Sabine, and now Ezra's here to help finish that path as she started her own, but she might be ready now that she's kind of done with all the guilds and everything she had with Anakin, now she can move forward with a new apprentice, and we know about she's been training dark side, so can she, she hasn't fallen to dark side, she maybe has some dark side thoughts, thinking that she might fall into dark side same as Anakin, she knows about Anakin and how he felt, so that might help bring Shindon a little bit, so I wouldn't mind seeing that a little bit later on, but first Shindon arrives after she calls from, I love also talking about visuals, I love the way the enemy, let's just call them the enemy, they're not dark side, they're sorry the empire, they're holograms, because they're not just blue kind of holograms that show up, it's just this, they just pops up, I don't know where, just I don't know if it's dark side magic from the Nazis, night mothers, or whatever, I just love very time that Enoch showed up when in the first couple episodes when Baelin and Shindon would be, you know, just appear in the eye of sign, just bla bla bla bla bla bla, that green star just visually looks great, one thing I forgot to mention at the beginning, that it was good, we've already seen him last two episodes, sorry two episodes ago, the training that Anakin left at Soka, it's good for her to see it, she has 20 other tapes that Anakin left, so I guess that it was cool to see, was enough of course as impactful as in him in full-on in that episode five, it was good, I was there, nothing too emotional for me, where am I, right so going back to Sabine S Randy Nauti, Shindon gets there, the other night troopers get during the Supercarrier, whatever it's called, which looks great, Simely sign from Rebels, looks great in live action, they brought like 40 stone troopers in there, and of course we get the scene that we're talking about, well, Sabine trying to give her the lightsaber, he's like, no, no, I gave it to you, that's yours now, very similar to what people keep saying that, oh, race lightsaber, it's not like lightsaber, that's Anakin, no, I assume I gave it to you, it's like, I gave that to you, that's your lightsaber now, the force is my ally, that's all I need, clap, clap, clap, I love that scene, I thought it was gonna be, no, no, I'm a pacifist, just like the Nauti, is that, no, the force is my ally, which again he probably hasn't used the lightsaber in about 10 years, so he might be a bit rusty, but I love seeing Sra use the force, of course he grabbed a blaster, 30 seconds later, started shooting all these stone troopers, so it's not just a force, it's whatever's available, so you don't die, well that was fine, I love that he sounded in the I-T troopers, they're just as bad as regular stone troopers, of course, because they have them surrounded and they couldn't get a shot off, but it was, oh, talking about banter, Sra talking his way out of getting shot, very hands-on like, but when they're surrounded and she's like, let's shoot, I say, wait, wait, wait, or, or, instead of shooting, we can talk, yeah, we can talk, then just shoot them anyway, but again, that's why, man, it's so perfect as Sra, and that felt like Sra gave Filoni props at the writing, feels like Sra, but just that way, he's like, no, let's talk about this, feels like something that Sra would do and it worked perfect, we haven't talked about a so-can bale and I had it down on my notes, so I saw a drop from the ship, who Yank keeps flying out, taking the other fighters with him, and I'll say for as good a lightsaber fight that it was, it wasn't necessary, and this is where people are gonna say I'm just a hater, that's fine, tell me I'm a hater, but this, it wasn't needed, she didn't want to fight bale and bale and didn't want to fight her, she could have landed any other way that wasn't in his way, he could have been going to what his plan is, so they fought for a little bit, he's gonna yell, you can't defeat me, I said, I don't want to defeat you anywhere, I'm just causing a distraction, so I can steal your holler, and then she goes off running, he doesn't follow her, so I don't know that part of the lightsaber fight, I'm sorry, that's just, if we want this to feel more like what the finale, or what we're leading to in the finale, that lights every fight was very cool looking fight, I love that Ahsoka had her two light servers out, so that we knew that she meant business, and bale and was there to defend himself, but it had no weight, there was no consequence to this fight, so I don't know, I could have done without it and saved the rematch for a more emotionally impactful fight in the finale, or later on, I will see how that goes, but Ahsoka gets there, saves that day when she's on the strong two birds are gonna kill everyone, and then we had that scene when she tells she to drop her weapon, and come with her, she can't just get the hell out, just like on her holler, leaves, oh sorry, I need some water, it's been 33 minutes, I need a drink, what do you guys think she is going to do, is she going back to find bale and is she going to throw on, or is she just now going to be by herself kind of this wanderer, and eventually she will run back into Ahsoka, Sabina, and all those guys, and we'll figure something out at that point, I don't see her going back to bale and because he kind of set her on this path, she can go back to throw on Morgan Elspeth, that's I think is where she's going, I don't know how she'll be received, because when thrown notice that we are one mercenary shorts where it's bale and skull, I think it's done with force users, so I don't think it's gonna welcome her, I'm just, hey, I'm leaving, I don't care, I already said that the mercenary can stay here for her, I care, and then she's gonna be out on her own, and that's maybe when she kind of re-things her position in this war that she's, no, not a pawn, but she might not know everything that's been going on, so it's gonna be interesting to see where she falls at the end of all of this, I love the, because I had my issues a little bit with Ezra and Sabina last week, I love this one between Ahsoka and Sabina, I love that she went Sabina with Ezra and Ahsoka, when Sabina was, I thought you were dead, I thought you died, I missed this, and goes to that big hog to Ezra, I love that, I didn't wait too many, and just going back and forth between, they had that embrace, I loved that, of course, then he had, wait, you thought she was dead, then the ship comes down, he's like, I'm gonna go free and pick him going home, I'm knocking on that, I'm going home, I'm going home, I'm going home, and he still doesn't know what's going on, so this is where the finality is gonna be important. Alright Mr. Spass, while you're saying that you agree with the bale and fight, strangely empty apart from bale and passing after the fight balling with himself, maybe knowing that she was going to lose with Ahsoka in the battle, I'm gonna say, I don't know what bale and start sending she to fight both Sabina and Ezra, she really didn't beat Sabina the second time that they fought, the first time, yes, obviously, like Sabina the god with her, with her a lot of talk on the internet about that, but the second battle she ran as soon as Ahsoka killed Maruk, she threw down the smoke bomb and just ran away, so I don't know why he thought she was going to be able to defeat both Sabina and Ezra, but of course when Ahsoka got there, I'm sure he's like oh crap, I still have to go death, because she's not gonna make it out, so again it's gonna be interesting, maybe he welcomes her back or she tries, I don't know, I don't see her going back to bale and but we'll see next week. So Thrawn's plan, we talked a little bit about this when we started, about first this reaction to Anakin, we knew that was coming, I have my book, there was a Thrawn alliance, it's back there, during the cover we know that Thrawn knows who Anakin is, who's Darth Vader, so that's who, general, and I love that he doesn't say, oh Anakin Skywalker, Jedi Anakin, no, general Anakin Skywalker was a master, all right, I gotta think a little bit, because if she's anything like her master, we gotta be careful, so I call this an absolute win, right, he's like Hulk, and I call this an absolute win, she's not attacking her, she's over there, a sectable law says, I'll send some ships to follow her, we'll put on a path that we want to, so just keep her away from me, so I can do my little thing over here, it's like a parent, okay kids go play with the dogs and just let me along for five minutes, so I can relax, that was Thrawn, just keep her away, so I can, you think we're losing, look, let me get my iPad out, I get my phone out, I cannot show you what's going on, well they're fighting over there, losing time, we know Coach from Rogue One, you make time and ally of the rebellion, so this is the other, she's wasting time over there, we she doesn't have, because we're gonna live her, and we're almost at 80% capacity here, so I call this a win-win, so I love, again I love Thrawn, how little by little we're showing that that's his mentality, that's how he wins, right, it's not always parmting with forces using his intellect, so I did enjoy that, all right, so this is where, let's finish this up now, I want to thank you guys for starting, we're heading to the finale, some of your speculation, what you think might happen in the finale, has this been a good set up for the finale, so there's been a lot of set up this past few weeks, especially with Baylands Ultimate Clan, that hopefully delivers in the finale, and this is my second Star Trek comparison, so I took out Star Trek Strange and what else I'm gonna talk now about Star Trek Discovery, so I just finished this last week, also as I was going on Star Trek Discovery season 4, that's the last season that's out at the moment, I think season 5 is coming soon, so I watched the last two episodes, around the same time I watched Asoka, the Asoka finale, the ultimate episode is my favorite episode of Discovery season 4, and also season 4 of Discovery is now my favorite season, asoka is a lot better, I prefer Asoka Discovery, sorry to the Discovery, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that I like Star Trek, but I'm sorry, I'll tell you don't come back and fight with me when you're here, but that penultimate episode was basically almost felt like a finale, but it was a great leading to what the finale was gonna be, everything that had been set up for the past eight weeks coming to episode 9 and then episode 10, again great thing that you have to do is longer seasons, everything kind of boiled down to that penultimate episode, and then it pushed it to the finale, this didn't seem like it was during the episode 6 when we found from Ezra, that's where this season has been about finding both of them, built into that, and then let's go into that penultimate episode to see how we started unraveling all this, didn't come into fruition, so now the finale is like there's nothing set up, we don't know what Balen's plan is, we don't know what the, I know that Throm was to get out of here, but we don't know what he's doing with the great mothers, what he's putting that in those compartments, we don't know how they're getting out, there's nothing set up, that's why I say look like this should be at an episode season, and I've been saying for years, like I don't like long seasons, I don't like series, I go for 4, 5, 6 seasons, I like series that have like every season 8 to 10 episodes, I haven't mined the Lord and be in 8 episodes, but I think it's more, now they've been watching all these other shows for instance of Hourhouse of the Dragon, so these Star Trek ones, all of them are at least 10 episodes, this cover is between 13 and 15 episodes, maybe we don't need that many, but it feels like we're rushing to the finale, like there's still something else between this week episode, something now, and then the finale, it kind of feels like something's missing, and that's my biggest issue with this episode is story structure, wasn't the biggest fan of the way the trial was handled, and then how we're going into the finale, doesn't seem like where there's like this should have been episode 6, and then episode 7 be something else, and then 8 definitely, like we're missing something between these two episodes, that's my biggest complaint, and I know, and I know years I probably ring right now, please mention here before, like there's a movie coming out, not everything that's being set up is gonna be resolved by the end of next week, and I 100% agree, we know that throne isn't going to be defeated, I don't think that any of our heroes are dying next week, we're going by the movie, I don't think S-RUN, I know people are saying, oh it's S-RUN going to die next week, and there's no way S-RUN this week, next week, 3 years from now, we didn't find it just to listen, this is in the High Republic, people survive here, I saw it's gonna be fine, something's gonna be fine, her is gonna be fine, it's Balen, Shinn Morgan, maybe one of them is up on the shopping block, not throne obviously, and hopefully not Balen will see more of him, and we'll see how that happens of course without Rey Stevenson, so that's another conversation we'll have to wait after this season is over, but what I'm getting at, even though a lot of those things won't be resolved now, because we have everything setting up for that big Avengers style movie, every season of a series of a show, sorry, same as every movie in a trailer needs to stand on its own, so this season doesn't end with some of those questions, and it's just a set up for the movie or a set up for Mandalorian, so for a set up for a S-RUN 2 whenever it's announced and it comes out three years from now, I think it doesn't meet those limits or doesn't reach those non-expectations, doesn't feel like a conclusion to the season, it doesn't stand on this one, so that's why I want this season to be able to stand up, it's on that say that look at those have a business with some reason, nothing else happens, that this season stands on its own, it's not just, oh yeah, remember that, I can show that, yeah, that was great, I don't throw it back, but what happened in the season, oh yeah, what's a set up for something that never happened, set up, season 2, set up the movie, well that's a recent resolution, so everything that we've been setting up so far and I hope that it can land, we just want to be so left, that's my biggest concern, by from season 2 of the Mandalorian, season 3's finale was kind of there, because oh yeah, I'm doing clowns, that's my video, just making clowns, I'm very very excited for three seasons, it's been your plan, just four sensitive clones, it didn't land like they wanted to, and I hope it doesn't happen here, so that's my thing, all right, speculations, I saw Mr.
Spass, what do you got, I'll go into it in a minute, I think Thron and the Chimera are leaving the Galaxy but then on next week they'll get the Chimera into the IOSAion, like Tony was the one that mentioned it to throughout the Undery podcast, I put out the Star Wars, make sure to check that out, when every time it comes out after the new episode, I think he hit the nail with the head, that's what the IOSAion is for, it's a hyperspace ring for the Chimera, don't head out, so I was thinking they're gonna leave, and then Sabine's run the gang, are gonna be stuck in period and the new Galaxy, they're also gone, so they're not gonna have a way to get back, and that's gonna be the next season of the movie, so I'm sorry with how they held away with this Galaxy, I had a thought that would be great, it would be funny, I'm pretty sure it's not gonna happen, and the more I think it doesn't make a lot of sense, but if they stuck way to connect, they say Mandalorian season 4 comes out afterwards, same way that she connected with Sabine, we know that JLA, kind of can't connect with us to others, if she connects with Grogu, in the middle of Mando season 4 episode 3, Grogu is like, wait, wait, I hear Ahsoka, we gotta go find her, they grab the new Republic, and everyone goes to Peridion Mandos there in his end one, and they find them, and then everyone goes back to the regular Galaxy, but that's too far, so I'm probably thinking that Hu Yang kind of chorted and map anyways, when they were inside the Star Whale's mouth, they kind of chorted the pathway back, so as long as they can open the hyperspace route, and the hyperspace in just being damaged, they'll be able to get back, that's what I think, but we'll see what happens next week, maybe their ship gets destroyed, and they'll stalk anyways, so that's my big thing, not a big kind of idea, I know what else I'm about, probably Thron will get out pretty easily, all right, so what's your prediction Mr. Spasswell, is that Sabine will sacrifice her place of getting back into the original Galaxy, so that extra can go on, that's a good one, and I think she will use a voice in a minor way to do this also, I can see that, I think that Sabine will finally be able to use the voice, we've been hinting at it since episode one, she's tried to use it a few times, she hasn't been able to, that's why I hope that S was a little bit in getting her to unlock that ability, and then if she uses that to push him into the ship, as they're going to high-puss, she needs to stay back, there'll be something, it could happen, also that happen, all right, the great thing is that we only have three days to wait for Asoka season one, finally, I really been enjoying the show, we're almost there, like I said last week, it's difficult for me right now to try to put them into a tear list, we're over one, Mando, and the Book of Boba Fett, all that, I don't know, but there's been a lot of good episodes, last week episodes, or two weeks I was probably one of my favorites, over always been a pretty good season, I just hope they're able to knock it out the part with the finale, all right, so that brings an end to our Asoka talk, now let's talk a little bit about this little book, Kim some climb, let's do our Kim some climb, spoiler-free reaction, so yeah, I'm gonna start by saying thank you to Disney books for sending this advance copy last month, I think, Trips on climb by EK John Stargent, this will be a spoiler-free review, or spoiler as much spoiler-free as I can, I'll try not to say anything I shouldn't say, this book comes out officially October 10, there's no embargo, I'm glad so I can do this review to that, I'm surprised that there's not an actual embargo, so people are gonna start talking about this, our spoiler review will come out on our website most likely next Tuesday, October 3rd, October 3rd, so it's one week before the book comes out, so if you want to read the spoiler review, before the book comes out, or after the book comes out, you really want to see here my spoiler thoughts, go and check it out, but for right now, just spoiler-free, I'm very surprised, pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed this book by EK John Stong, I'm a fan of Kira, I'm a fan of solo, it's our story, I said one of my most entertaining Star Wars movies in my opinion, I think it's great, so if you're a fan of Kira, if you're a fan of the underworld and syndicates, if you're a fan of solo, I think this book is for you, it's very character-driven, Kira's in every single page of the book, so I'm surprised I'm most enjoyed, I didn't know too much about where in this story it was gonna take place, and not as spoiler because as soon as you open the book, you know, we'll take space, so this takes place right when she's taken from Han in Corona X Space Force, so when they pass the little security gate and Reebold Pulsar out, this is when this book starts, and she's taken back to the white worms, to Lady Proxima, to the Scrum Rats, so that's yours, this is that, and also it's a pretty brutal description, when she's taken back, like literally the clothes are ripped from her back, for her body, clothes boots, coats everything, gone, so it's very visceral, EKJ also did a great job getting the voice of Kira, getting the voice of all the characters that we know, like Kira, Lady Proxima, right and vast, they all feel like the characters that we know, she made great making Corellias on the world, feel like a character, the other sewers, in Corellia, the grime of it, you felt dirty reading those scenes, so I think EKJ also did a great job setting Corellias that putrid sewer like Dragon Ball says, so if you know from Solo Star Wars, sorry, the comments that when Han says, oh we're gonna win this at the end, we have this plan to kind of double cross and drive and Kira's like the point is not winning, the objective and not to win is to stay in it as long as possible, how did you get out? I didn't, when Dragon Ball says, oh Han she's done things that you will never be able to imagine, all that is in this book, so why does she say that the point is to stay in it as long as you can, why this isn't a game, the things that she does, even though we can kind of see that's going to be balanced off, there's a lot of it, so again she spends a lot of time with the white worms, with Lady Proxima, three times I read, I'm like, Kira why did you leave me, what was her hand? I had that voice in my head, but it's funny because for these scrum rats, right, for the people that live on the Corellia kind of slums, the white worms and Lady Proxima are the most badass scariest dudes out there, this crime organization, when in reality they're not in comparison to Crimson Dawn and the other five syndicates, right, and we see that as these book progresses, because she won't stay with her forever, we know she'll end up with Crimson Dawn at some point, if you read the solo normalization, you know that she was sold to us labor, and then eventually something happens and she ends up in Crimson Dawn, and we see that again when she's sold to these laborers, not the best life for her, but she resents Han for allowing her to feel safe and comfortable with someone, instead of always being on the lookout for what's going on, she got comfortable and said, believe in Han that, okay, we're gonna make it out of here, and she's learning from that, she doesn't hate him, she keeps that dice, and that dice are really important here, because it reminds herself of that life that Han might be living on, how he smiles at everything that we know from the movie, every time I thought about you making this smile and she uses that throughout the book, I forgot what was going on, oh how these crumb rats again, she gets sold, and then when she makes it to Crimson Dawn, she's still playing the feel, how she gonna go up the ladder without showing that she's ready for it, you know this sounds kind of weird, but Kira's in a place when she's learned that she can't show all her cards, right, she gets straining how to fight, of course, Terascasi, we know that she's straining how to slice into computers, how to do points on testing, all these how to scan people, and even though she might be at a level up here, she knows that she shows that she's learning enough, people who skip thrusting her and not just thrusting her, but I forgot the word, I couldn't forget the word, I probably have it in my notes where I can find it, underestimating her, so she doesn't show that she's as good as Dryden in Terascasi, she'll be underestimated when she's fighting the guards, or when she fights Dryden in solo, so those things she's learned how to, okay, I'm at a level now that I'm ahead of my teachers, we're gonna keep it down here, so they think that they're still above me, and if they try something, then I'll be able to overcome it, so she's learned this throughout the book, she goes in, the book keeps going, there's a lot of missions, she's watching this planet, Tharon, I think it's cool when she has her own team, they come back at the end, character wise, like I mentioned before, the characters that we know are like Kira, Lady Proxima, Dryden boss, Margot, which we know from the movie, she's the concierge for Dryden boss in the movie, here she's in her deposition, so all those characters were great, hey, Brenna, how are you doing, thanks, thanks for being here with us Brenna, we're just doing a spot-a-free review of Kira, if I keep going, let me see some of your comments, Mr.
Spasswald is saying that Kira was fascinating solo, I would have enjoyed a series on replacing the Underworld, might give that book a read after my first ever read of her to the Empire, I think if you liked that, if you wanted to see what she was doing in the Underworld, I know we have the Crimson Rain comic books, and of course she was part of the World Bounty comic books, and this leads up to that, I mean we don't see that in the book, there's a couple of interludes in here, one of them, the last one is pretty close to that ending, so you can see a lot of that, but if you want to know what she was doing while Han was with the Imperial Navy and trying to get out, this is what she was doing, just climbing the ranks of the White Warners, when she came back she was at the lowest low, slowly climbing back up, and then same thing, Crimson Dawn, she starts at the bottom, and slowly starts moving up, and of course people don't like how quickly she's moving, and they gotta do their moves to try to get her out of the way, most of them don't work out, Tony's adding I really wasn't that excited, but between the Crimson storyline and the comics, and this I can't wait to read it, again this is a book that I might not have checked out, but I'm glad that I did, it's very interesting, it's very quick, you can read it in a couple of days, chapters are short, they're easy to read, they're engaging, you want to know what's going on, so I'll give you a chance for a lot of props on that. Where am I, so I end the rest of the book, so I climb through things on Dawn's ranks, she's constantly testifying in other members that want to be where she was, we see how brutal Dry Them Boss can be, we know from the movie, well here he just, like we know from a lot of gangster's, they'll just kill someone to make a point, and even though he knows that person he's killing is not the one responsible for whatever, he's gonna do it to prove a point like, it doesn't matter, so find me the rat basically, while just hit killing people, while make Kira kill them, which goes to what he says in the movie, she's done things that you'll never imagine, we see the paces that she's put on through in this book, and then of course from solo we know that there's a puppet master behind all the syndicates, which is small, I'm not going, there's some, I'm gonna leave it there, I'm not gonna say how much more there is, is there more, if it's just insinuated, but there's a benefactor pulling the strings that she's trying to figure out what's going on, there's a scene with the five syndicates, so we get Crimson Dawn, the pikes, the huts, and the other two, I didn't write them here, but you know, all the other cramps, I want to say use some bomb, they're not the other two syndicates, they're there. So all in all, trim some climb, if you like Kira, if you like stories about the underworld, I would recommend it, check it out as an ece read comes out of top 10 again, thanks to Disney comics, I don't think we're, we've seen the comics, but the book doesn't get there, but yes, I would love to see it, I was expecting that this book was gonna touch on it, so I'm a bit surprised that it didn't get there, maybe we'll get a continuation somewhere, maybe this Lando movie that comes out, we'll see that. All right guys, so that's it for us today, great, quick show, a little bit less than an hour, but we had fun talking about Ahsoka, Brandon, sorry I didn't get to hear your thoughts on Ahsoka, if you've got a couple of seconds, I'd love to see your quick thoughts on this episode of Ahsoka's we're reaching the finale next week, do you think we're ready for that finale, say, we set up for that finale next week, I'm also gonna be, hopefully, like I mentioned before, after the Ahsoka finale, the following week, hopefully, all the Ahsoka's finished, they'll supply and life will do that, my dude just on overall, Ahsoka season one recap, I will take a break because we've been going on for a few weeks now, we'll see what happens.
After that, I'm gonna start reading, I was also lucky enough to get a copy of the latest I reported book, and I can't believe I forgot the name, don't worry, don't tell makers I have it, I have darkness, the eye of darkness with my Kim Rowe, the cover, that comes out in November, so I'm not gonna worry about reading that till a couple weeks from now, we'll get through things on dawn, we'll talk about tells of life and life here, and then we'll start doing that, can't wait to get back into the High Republic, especially starting with tells of life and life, and then officially going into season three, uh, phase three, the High Republic, next couple weeks. Alright, so thank you Tony, thank you, Brandon, thank you tomorrow, and thank you to meet the spasuo for joining us today, always great when you guys are in the chat, even if all this time here, we'll always put up a good show, always fun talking to you guys, and you guys give me in my toe, so we'll see you guys next week, but actually here we go, here we're just writing it, alright have a great day, mister spasuo, thanks for watching, I'll see you in the next video, and on it, may the force be with you, and as always stay safe, be safe, wait, let me try this again, there we go, stay safe, be safe, I'll be the force, be with you, see you next week!
