Episode seven. Oh, my goodness. Here we go. Isn't it incredible? It's nearly over. There's only two legs. So this is so much. Presumably a two-parter with. I feel like we're just starting, though. Like, so far, like, I don't know. I don't know. At least, I guess the season could absolutely have begun with Thrawn making his way back to the galaxy. That could have been the episode one. You can easily summarize a lot of these episodes. Oh, damn, even all of them and maybe one or two sentences in terms of what actually happened. Yeah, and how much character stuff have we gotten out of all of it? Oh, no. Sabine wanted to go and find Ezra. Yeah. And Ahsoka was boring until she was afraid of Darth Vader and all that, but now it's just normal again, I suppose. Lightning strike, lightning strike with Vader face twice. Yeah. That's right. That was. Vader, it's so hard. He did Vader. Oh, he did Vader all of those guys. Elrae is just incredibly incompetent. She's fired. She's in some serious.  She's in jail. Yeah, because yeah, we haven't done anything with her, right? The last episode was, was there any, but I mean, there was barely any Asaka lost episode. She was only in the true. We got Ezra introduced. Exciting.  He's from as we understand it. He sacrificed his basically sent himself to another galaxy to stop Thrawn and now Sabine's here. And that's already concerning, but she won't tell him how he got like, she's been actively evasive about it and he's not pressing the point. And I need Dave to understand both of them would be heavily invested in telling like getting that information across. He's got reasons and she's got reasons that that information needs to be shared. Not sharing it feels like he's just trying to avoid having to do the drama, but we'll see. He's trying to avoid doing the drama forever. Maybe not forever, but like, he's like, oh, I'd rather that eruption happen near the end of the season. There are going to be a lot of confrontations that characters should be having with Sabine. Asaka should be having confrontations with her and social as well. I don't know if they will and they're not probably not going to be very our predictions as of the previous episode. I said that Balon and Asaka will get their rematch. Bring it to you said that Shin and Balon will 2v2 Ezra and Sabine and the Ezra will get in trouble and Sabine will likely do a force.  I'm not sure what Dave's up to, which is like because that would be a really clever kind of thing to do is if you have a character and they can't use the force, but they're sort of like maybe force sensitive and they practice and they try but they're like clever. So they know that they can't really do much with the force but maybe if they loosen a belt or if they unclip a thing from somebody's bandolier or like or maybe they press a button some little thing that has a big impact and that's like part of maybe the lesson and you could even use it thematically to talk about how small changes can ripple into big effects and be a hero and stuff like that. So what are you saying is that's definitely not going to happen. So what I might be saying is that's not going to happen. She's probably going to just like summon a katana from space and then she's going to slice the planet in half and she's super cool. Quashtron, what do you guys think? Seven and eight? His name is Hu Yang. Hu Yang. Do you think we will get another Anakin cameo? Yes, it will probably be in the form of like a voice or maybe a vision. He can pop as a force goes whenever Dave wants. But when we get to the bulge, when we get to like the second act low point of the episode and Ahsoka needs to like, Oh, I can't beat him. He's too good. Then we get the force apparition. I feel like we've done that already though. And that's what that episode was. Yeah, well that's fine. We can do it. I think it's going to be a voice or nothing. Okay. I could see him doing it. I'm leaning that way. I'm leaning towards it being a voice. We're not going to see anything as big as what in episode five in terms of his like role. I don't think so. I think that's the line. But I can easily see him showing up again in some way shape or form. The most interesting and most thing I'll say before we start this. So I was talking about yes, I saw it on a tweet. I was talking to Fringy about it. Star Wars theory did not like this episode. We're about to see. Oh my God. He felt it was like boring and lame and nothing happened, which goes against all of our predictions. We said what's interesting is where stuff happens. See the problem is when I hear something like that from that kind of source like, oh, this might be an interesting episode. I think one of the things I think it will be amazingly good because he hates it or it will be titanically like it's going to either end of the spectrum. It will be nowhere in the world.  Honestly, though, hearing that show so far is like I don't see how they can make anything. I mean, they can make something interesting, but I just don't have the the confidence is going to be anything good in this episode. They've been so rigid with their formula that even hearing that as they're like a review of a reaction, I don't believe it. I'm pretty sure this is going to follow the formula. I have to see how nothing happens going to go before I could ever believe that nothing actually happens. What I expect, I guess, is just the things will be people will be making plans or things will be put in place or actions will be taken to have to move everything up so that the next episode can have all the payoffs and that still counts like if people, you know, do stuff. The equivalent in Mando was when like the whole team team up go to Mando lore and they prepare to attack and the Empire is there and blah, blah, blah. It's like all of that counts as stuff happening. If you wanted to say like, no, that was nothing because nobody actually died except Chungus.  The dragon buffing up the Mando kid. Yeah. These are weird self-contained episodes. They're reminding me of these things. I'm trying to have a good time. Ahsoka waste so much time and it's not just the pauses. It's it's just scenes that are redundant or plot points that can be trimmed down significantly in favor of more rich story material. It's incredible. I can't believe that they couldn't fill eight episodes. Well, and so the big worry I have is that this might be the last episode of a Balan now. Yeah, I feel like killing him would be a seven episode seven payoff. But I don't know. Maybe. Well, yeah, he's he might go off and do his like side quest thing that he started talking about last episode. So I don't know how much I'm going to see of him. But in true like Star Wars kind of fashion his arc may be considered finished here. Yeah, he's barely brought. He is barely brought up a concept of something that might be worthy of discussion or exploration. But we've mentioned it. That's basically as good as exploring it. Now he can die. He has alluded to things. He has spent his entire on-screen presence alluding to things that might be the case that he might believe. Yes. And to bad writers alluding to a thing is basically the thing itself. There is no difference between a map and a place. Now you can die. The more important thing is to equip my my suits for this episode. Correct. Oh, that's good. Something that really matches. I was about to say, it's like a funeral or something. She went with the enemy willingly. Impossible. It's so funny. They even have previous leads on sometimes it's like, what have you got to tell us to remind us about really? She was fated to make that choice. Perhaps for Sabine, it was the only choice.   I'm hoping Ezra will be something. But already the fact that he's not more concerned about it all is not a bad thing. It's like, oh, it took me long enough. It also would have been cool if he wasn't living in this happy little town of Hermit crabs. Stupidly awesome place. Yeah, it would have been way better if he'd lived a really difficult life. The sacrifice entailed many, many years of hardship. But no, it looks it looks idyllic. Like look at him. Yeah, it's very nice. I retire here. This happy little village filled with these wonderful little alien Hermit crabs. Also, who could forget the witches?  If a star whale approaches Peridia, destroyed with prejudice. What's stopping them from leaving immediately? They were doing something. They were shipping something, moving something. I can't remember because I feel like they just be sitting here waiting and ready, right? Because they have their witches with them.  I guess that takes a little bit of time, you know, a little bit. Two hours. Well, is that not the case? They're not going to be able to leave with the star destroyer, right? They have to go with the eye of scion. I guarantee you they're going to mount that thing onto the eye of scion. Go with the Voltron. I guarantee you that's going to happen. I don't know about that. I don't think so. I don't know why. And it could be the... It could be like if you put the ship in the middle of the ring. Oh my God. Oh, this is different. Yeah, I remember.  We simply cannot allow a general of the New Republic security forces to go around acting like this is still a rebellion. True. This is a government and it has rules and laws. True. If you got two people killed, please mention that. My job is to protect the people of this republic. You killed two people. About your students. And that is exactly what I was doing in the best way I know how. The best way I knew how was to directly ignore orders. Protected the New Republic by ignoring direct orders.  You, but that's not that's not even him. It was all of them. That was the council. Yeah, they all said no. It's not like he controls all of them. General Sindula's actions brought to light that there was an incident on Satan. Oh, these incidents all over the galaxy. I only lost two people's lives, but yeah. But this report reads like a child's fairytale. Jedi, false Jedi.  Yeah. Star Wales are I think people might know what Star Wars. He might be Empire. Not as an ump and he might be an Empire guy. Imperial remnant. Such a sensational term. Sensational. Yeah, he probably is evil. There is no proof of any coordination between the scattered and twinling. How is that nor proof? What about the conflict? Oh, look, then. Yeah, listen. Get in was a warlord acting on his own. Acting on his own. No, he had the whole thing. He had everything. You really think that was on his own? There's no proof of a greater conspiracy and thus no immediate threat to this Republic. If Thrawn returns, that will change quickly. I don't think you should say that was on his own. What is he going to do? He's one blue guy. I don't care if he comes back. Nobody else is challenging him on those assertions. He just said like he was on his own. All right. Okay. I see a general who abuses her authority for personal gain. Okay, but that's true. Yeah, she does like a clown trial. It's so annoying.  Not true. Oh, no. Oh, no.  Why are you here? Stop. Oh. I am here on behalf of Senator Leia Organa.   It's going to be the Organa approves all of this and she's got a clean slate. It's fine. Yeah. Oh God. I didn't tell them though. No, because she's just got ultimate authority. It doesn't matter. Senator Organa personally sanctioned General Singular's Reconnaissance Mission to CETOS. But she didn't know. That is not how the chain of command works. You can't just like post talks say that you approved it. I think we're just doing a little bit of surgery. The court cannot admit evidence of this kind from a mere droid. It's not about whether or not he's a droid. What a weird thing to say. Senator Organa is willing to overlook this, Mr. What's the point of the council if she can just overrule them? We just bail her out with this. And she shouldn't. Leia wouldn't. She misused her power. No. Wow. That seems to settle the matter. Why wouldn't Leia have told anybody else? I don't think I don't think that's what's happening. She's just bailing her out in post. She's like, oh, you're in trouble. Let me get you.  Because remember, they said you can't go on this mission because we don't have enough people and her forces are spread thin.  Nobody cares. Yeah, like that's a huge. Those people are dead.   Nobody even been mentioned. There we go. Remember, they're a public. It's good, guys. I don't know what you and Leia are playing at.  But I know she did not authorize your mission. She did afterward, right? Eventually. Eventually. See? Dude, so you're so now you're willing that to one of the council leaders. How is this legal?  Yeah, because I guess the way you would argue is that she completely trusts Leia. Leia made this decision. So it must be a good decision.  Leia hasn't heard that kind of thanks, Hera.  Good job. You're now you're hurting my good job and Leia. Yeah, that was pretty.  It's supposed to be like, wow, really good. Our heroes got saved at the last moment from the consequences of their action madness. These are such great names for these episodes. Time to fly far away. It's like the toilet trouble. Toilet trouble. It's like a children's episode in the name of a kids episode. Oh, you're going to go. I hear you. Yeah.  I can't believe she's in this book and you're both backhanded. Oh, come on. Where are you punching with your lightsaber? Oh, that was quick. We just had a member. Barry, you can't be given another member, Barry. General Grievous. Sajj Ventress. You could face any one of them on the battlefield. Sajj Ventress. You have invention. Did life action? The fans must be cooing over that. I remember you saying in the last episode that she doesn't look very confident. What are those sabers? It just looks so like it's not a part of her. It's like you must be careful. You might run into primary villains in the story.  I won't always be there and look out for you. Yeah, you will. Hey, well, this force ghost. Yeah, you're literally always will be.  It is kind of interesting that this worker has made much mention of Anakin, but no mention at all of Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan was there and nobody cares about Obi-Wan anymore. We did his show. Oh, he made 20 or more of these recordings. Oh, no. There's going to be 20 of them. No, they can play them through all the future episodes now.  Would there be a big speech at the end that you'll listen to that will close out the show? So you just got to believe in yourself even when no one believes in you or something generic like that. I think the whales may be reaching the end of their journey. So go the wide. Please speak. No, no. We've got to waste some time here. Oh, it was just a smirk. They just had her look around and smirk and that was the point of that. What are you smirking at? It'd be so satisfying if as soon as they come out of hyperspace they'll just got blown apart by drawing, but it won't happen. So space whales they're decelerating because we're reaching our destination smirk. They would, wouldn't they? That's what they do though, space whale. She came here with the enemy. We find the enemy and we find Sabine. Direct into the point doesn't work. That's messed up. Did you catch that? That droid land. I would point out that you are assuming the star whales have brought us to the correct Yeah, over to there. Like, oh, we don't know where's the enemy. There's no way you can write us out of that.  Fly around until we bump into Thrawn. I think the odds are pretty good. No, in fact, they're terrible. Astronomically terrible. Well, you should have said something. Oh, but he didn't have to. Oh, get it. She's being a funsies. I wonder if you end up in the middle of nowhere. You have a 99. Yeah, that's a right. So you can't do this. Ending up pointing out we could be heading up anywhere. And it's like, yeah, it's based but lull funny into galactic space. Yeah, I can't believe these are things. Oh, no. Oh, my God. Army of whales have arrived. Yeah, you can't see anything because you're inside its mouth. You ask it to get out. You think they actually just going to be where they need to be? Yes. Yeah. Exactly where they need to be. It'll be the planet outside. Something's wrong. Please tell me thrones are a part a giant. Tell me they haven't thrown said he was making preparations that he actually they actually do that. Oh, looks like it, but they will escape this somehow. How are they going to get out of this? Mines. Are they mine? Mine. When did they drop mines here? I want to take a look at ages. A lot of mines. Oh, and when did you do this? I like how they don't do anything, by the way. They're not doing anything. How in the world is a soccer gunner? They're not doing anything. That's why they deal no damage. It's an imperial minefield deployed around the arrival point. Yeah, I can see that reduction. Wait, so did they know where they come out? Yeah, apparently. Yeah, because it's a hyperspace lane they're set. So thinking about that, this should have been an easy kill. There should have been a kill box that was super straightforward. Yeah, none of them dead. Oh, you can do they all escaped because I'll smash into the throne knew that they were space whales specifically and he couldn't design anything that could hurt them. Oh, yeah. Look, it's weaving left and right. Yeah, there you go. Yeah, we'll just go straight. Yeah. Just look at our face. Oh, no, they tracks. You have to move like you're in danger. It's nothing is going to happen. No point. What? There were so many mines. What was the point of the mines? They did nothing. They did nothing at all.  They couldn't kill one whale. It's just there for explosions because that's so. Oh, look at the bones. Oh, here we go. Oh, no, we're going to the bones.  They're going to fly through the bones. Oh, you're already in. Shoot. Shoot. There's nine of them. Yeah, but oh, listen to those gods. So. And the whole thing. Episode just going to be another dumbass action scene. A dog fighting the bones of the dead whales.  That's action. See. There is nothing on the scope. Just once, I would like them to listen to the droid who's telling them that this is suicide. See, they'll crash, but she won't crash even though she can't see anything, nor can the droid. Ah, the force. The force, yeah. Oh, he has a feeling. Yeah, see they're moving things. I don't know what that is. Why are they scattered around like that?  Why wouldn't they be stacked up lately? They're stalking them onto the Star Destroyer. That doesn't mean they can- Are they gonna move them from the Star Destroyer to the Eye of Sion? As you anticipated, the minefield was triggered by particle-riding Star Wheels. Did you cover the planet in mines? Or just that one little spot, and they happened to jump right there? Well, no, they know the lanes, apparently. They know the Star Whale lanes. Which is why, by the way, that it's worse, because he should have been able to plan a perfect kill box at that point. Take your time. A master was General Alec in Skywalker. Remember him? You're certain there's only the one Starship.  Withdraw the fighters, and have them stand by. Okay. Why not allow them to follow? There's no need to waste our resources. I like how she exists to just ask him the reasoning behind all of his actions. We shall lose them in the debris field. Why would you lose them in the debris field? Just scan for them. You think bones stop scans? They could scan from inside the whale. However, we are getting to know our adversary. She's running away. That's what you know about her. And if she's anything like her master, she'll be unpredictable. You've already lost twice, like, significantly in this fight with her. It's so embarrassing. Which is why we must control all variables. Put her on a path. But you did predict what she was going to do. Put her on a path?  Yeah, you knew exactly where she was going to spawn, and you couldn't take her out. So that no matter which direction she takes, we'll always be one step ahead of her. You're not a step ahead of her.  You're just going to see the initiative.  You're behind her. She said, no, we're going to decide her path while letting her decide. Yeah, that makes sense.  The fact that they didn't get blown up is huge.  And why did the fighters get launched and then pulled away? And then you're like, what's the point of that? Why did we already blow up? Like I just said, he makes decisions like pull the fighters out. Then Morgan Elsbeth only exists to go, why would you do that? Why is that smart? Explain to me. And then he goes, it's smart because of this, this, this. It's like, oh, okay. Thrawn is behind that attack. Wow, you're so smart. Thrawn is behind that attack. That's how she knows it's Thrawn because they knew that she was coming. Even though they're following people specifically. It has to be Thrawn. He's just so smart.  I will run a scan to see if I can locate Lady Ren. No, you don't want to scan now because then you'll give away your position by doing a scan, right? That'll get. Can I just scan for them anyway though? It's a stealth scan.  Look at them guy. Look at the hermit crabs on the wall. Why is, you, by the way, these are all like in hyper danger. Just so you know. Where do they get this technology? Is there a civilization on this planet? This shot looks remarkable. Look, they have a great time. There's so much urgency. How are you relaxing? If you're here, who else follows you?  What about Thrawn? The empire was defeated. Battle of Endor. Emperor died. That's what people say. That's what people say. That's what people say. He was atomized. Oh my God. That's cringe. You haven't seen Rebels. Let me tell you about Luke. You know, I was beginning to think we'd never find you. Oh, okay, never mind. Nothing about Luke or anything, okay. What he said, I can't believe what he told me. Never really thought about how much I've missed. Still trying to process everything you told me. I thought you meant all of this season's context. I didn't realize you only told him that the empire fell. It's like, wow, you're really catching him up on recent events. How did you find me? You never said. It's complicated. We could talk about something else, I guess. No, don't talk about it. Dude. But you know, getting home is kind of important. Kind of. How did you get here? What about Thrawn getting home? Not getting them home is kind of important. Did you bring anyone with you? Ahsoka took me on as her apprentice. So they're not going to talk about it? Do you see the way she said that with such pride? She what? Why? I mean, congratulations. Like, oh, God. Sabine, talk about things that matter instead of talking about you.  I'm glad that her makeup is doing okay. Yeah, so where is Ahsoka? Is she coming? How would she come? By the way, yeah, just a reminder, she thinks Ahsoka may have died. This is insane. The actress, I'm sorry, but you've not nailed this at all. That's complicated. Not going to talk about Kana at all. That's your expression for thinking about how Ahsoka might be dead. That's the expression.   That was worthless. It got brought up. Oh, how are you here? I mean, it was worse than worthless. She indicated that how she got here was fucked. He's like, all right, we'll talk about something else. Yeah, it's fine. Let's go back to the locals, I guess. I guess Sabine seems to think Ahsoka's dead, but it doesn't look like she thinks that. It's just like it's complicated.  No. You don't know that that happened. As far as you're concerned, she's dead. Just awful. You could never have guessed that Sabine is hurting because she may have lost a close friend. Ahsoka Tano lies hidden within the graveyard. Find her? Yes, Grand Admiral. Wait, so they listened to him and up? Oh, okay. Yeah, they're like too polite. Which is fine, because I'm going to use that witchcraft. Oh my god. Ladies, bear your balls. Balls.  Find their witchcraft in my stables.  Lock those balls. I thought they had normal scanners that could scan stuff. Why did you witchcraft scanners? Yeah, I thought we had technology. Please do something. No. We shouldn't scan or else they'll be able to detect it or whatever.  Either my scans are being jammed or there is too much debris. We don't need a scan. We don't. Okay. Okay. There's another way. Oh, the force. Which to be fair, there's pressure on the force. Do you think your bond is that strong? We're going all the way back to Empire, folks. I hope not force Skype. Just force, you know, reach out. Don't do Skype. Yo, Sabine, what's up? Sabine, we're like in a bone field. Where are you? Like, you have to say her name. Hasn't been all bad. Obviously, I'm made of new friends. Yeah, just chilling out, man. Just chatting. I know who you are. Oh, come on. No. It's actually a Skype call. Can't he feel this? Yeah. He's Mr. Force, isn't he? He's way more force. I feel like when Leia got a sense of Luke being in trouble in Empire, they were way closer. Not only way closer, but it was and they were relatively vague. Not in the sense that she could feel, you know, they had to look for him. She pointed them out. Look there. The Jedi is there. Oh, look, they're going to converge. Oh, they're triangulating the force. Look at that. This is where the force is. The force is right here. You have to have witchcraft plus technology. The balls. I hate it. You have the coordinates. Open fire.  Open fire, Captain. We don't actually have the coordinates, sir. These are lines on a weird map that point to a vague place. So I don't actually have them.  Like, is that how? Whatever. Oh, no. Oh, they missed. They found us. They found us. It's fine. They're not going to hit you. You guys have infinite plot armor. Oh, no. Look at all this. Not going to hit you. Yeah, there you go. Not going to hit you. Oh, so you're going to get them up by the tree. How are you such a good pilot? Wait, how are they tracing them? Are the balls showing them where they're going and then they update that to the ship?  You're fucked. You're fucked. No, it's fine. It's fine. It's fine. Chippers, yeah, they're okay. They're fine. Not even a scratch. Well done. We're flushed out of hiding. We flushed her out. No, you failed again. It's okay. You failed. That is an optimist. No, great. You can grab that roll. Ron is an optimist. He keeps coping. We flushed her out. It's okay. That's what we were doing. You know what this is? That's what we were doing, everybody. Everybody recognizes his failure, but he keeps saying, like, no, actually. No, no. Hey, Stormtrooper, back there. That's what we were trying to do. Exactly, girl. I'll tell you really. He's the guy that, when he loses his queen in chess, he's like, I wanted you to take the queen. I wanted you to because I don't need the queen. When he goes bankrupt, he's like, well, I don't have to pay taxes anymore. So, really, yeah. Oh, no. Friends of yours? No.  I thought I should have mentioned it earlier. She'll probably mention that earlier. I like it how we're pulling away. Like, evasive maneuvers. Oh, my God. This is...  God, I'm in trouble. Yeah, Sabine should know that she's drawing attention to these innocent people. She should leave them alone.  They want you. Are you just going to leave her to do this herself? Your ambition drives you in one direction. My path lies in another. What? Oh, you do have a side quest. Okay. But I thought he was being paid for this. I guess it's not about money or... He mentioned the thing. No, I know that. But, like, this job is something that Thrawn wants him to do, no? And also, like, isn't he, to some extent, invested in Shin not dying? Yes, a apprentice. Which would mean helping. One parting lesson, Shin. A parting lesson? What, are you guys done now? Impatience for victory will guarantee defeat. Is that it for these two? Wow. Okay. Wow, but we've had nothing. They barely... Why? I like his helmet. I like the little bandit people. They look neat. I can't believe we just... In that few seconds, it's like, these two are parting ways.  See, it would be a great character moment if Sabine said they want you, Ezra, and then Ezra's like, okay, you and I, we have to get out. These people can't be, like, put in the crossfire. Exactly. But oh well. We must save the signal, pack up and bridge your location. Dispatch two gunships to assist the mercenaries. So you should all be fucked. You just, you have to win now. Like, it's two gunships, but you've got to win. Dude, the fact that you said we may yet win the day is like, wait, you think that there's a good chance you'll lose? How could you lose?  The gunship, you don't need troops. You have air superior already. It's from the air. You have air superior already. Yeah, you don't need troops. You're right. Some ships are four. I guess the troops are just, I don't know protocol, but... Gunships, these look more like transports. Maybe guns pop out of them. Have they got guns on them probably? Yeah. No, you're going to lose.  We're doing like a little... We're doing a convoy shift. We're doing a convoy shift. Oh no. It's like I'm shotted.  It's not good. Is that crap? They don't even have anyone going to get hit. No crab people will die. It would be too much for Dave. Dave would never have a crab person die. At this point, does it matter if you're moving?  Yeah, okay. There we go. Yeah, it did nothing good. Like it should have done nothing. Excellent. Do you get like, the tone here should not be funny. This is, this is horrifying. They don't, we're not treating this properly.  And look, they're all just getting wiped out. They suck. Yeah.  Well, I mean, We can't do anything. They're in the way. What are you stabbing us? What does that do? What are we doing? At the rock. It's probably not going to do this. Guys, this is just carry rocks in there.  That looks bad. This looks really bad. Why isn't he using the other one as cover when he keeps it to be? Oh, okay. Okay, it does do something. Oh, no. No, he's going to get killed. You won't get killed.  It's not going to happen. No, you said we can't leave him. There you go.  That's nice. Mildly heroic. Yeah, no, right. Yeah, you're doing a heroic thing. The troops to go back and save him. We're doing it. We're doing the baseline of heroism. We're doing a basic character. Something. Just crawl on them and shoot them in the face. Why are we treating this so casually? You could get shot at any moment. Any shooting? They're just stop shooting. Don't worry about it. Why are you not shooting? What's going on? Why is everyone on pause? Oh, no, not again. Oh, they're going to convert. Stop showing us her. Oh, look, I'm determined and flying. Oh, wow. I just happened to be here. Come on. They located her. Oh, okay. They're all going to have their fight. They're going to have their battle. Yes. Balan and Ahsoka rematch. Can we do it? Why did those bandits stop shooting? They have guns. Who's that? She's like you, but lacks your sense of humor. She lacks your sense of humor. Lightsaber? Oh, yeah. Did you just point a gun at Ezra? That's fine. Don't worry about it. We better get ready. This is my problem. Everything is so treated like a joke and funny. Yeah, it's quippy and exciting and fun. It's an adventure. They know that they're in a show. Harold, yeah, there's no... They're actually an adventure show. They don't... Yeah, there's no peril. There's no fear of death or injury or the people around you dying. Okay, Sabine, you take the lightsaber. Give him the gun. Give me one of your guns. No, give Ezra the lightsaber, right? I don't need to land. Oh, not this again. Yes, this again. Oh, she's going to jump out. Why not?  Do a cool. Do a cool. Just remember what happened last time. You got the timing on. Soak the weight. Let's go. Yeah, just put in your paint robe on or something. I feel like the cape is only going to obstruct your ability to fight. Oh, my God, they're missing everything.  They haven't landed a single shot. They always suck. I'm so mad. Don't even do anything anyway. How do you not die from this? How do you not die from this? She's a Jedi. Use the force.    Oh, that would look really bad. Wow. You did not sell it to me at all. Dude, that might be the worst CG in the whole season. Damn. Yeah, that looks awful. Well, now this is a surprise. Yay, rematch. I knew it. That's what Dave knows how to do. Remember how they fought before? They're fighting again now. And this time she'll win.  They'll be so lame and boring. Yeah, I want him to win. Oh, absolutely. They're not going to let him win though, are they? Can't allow you to interfere. I don't have time for this. I don't have time for this. Oh, everyone's so cool. Look at it. Is that a stance or are you directing? She's charging up her LT or something. Why are you just shooting them? Just shoot them. Shoot them. Use your guns. Just shoot them with your guns. Two lightsaber, take it. You keep it. What? What? I don't need it. I don't need it. But what if you have to block blaster shots? No, I'm serious. Take it. I gave it to you. It's yours now. But she's got guns. She can't use the lightsaber and the guns at the same time. The force is my ally. The force is my ally. That's all I need.  Bro, what? But he's used the force and the lightsaber at the same time before in his life, hasn't he? Yeah, exactly. You can do both, man. Why aren't you just pushing them all back or striking them next? No, it's the reason why. Because he didn't want her in the fight. What's her name? Close that. What are you doing? This is so strange. Oh, that was a big opening there.  Especially Ahsoka. She can always kill them, but she never does. She got two lightsabers. She always locks both of them. Yeah, every time. Don't stay in your guards. I can't take any of this. Look at that. She's just wiping through them. Yep. That was really awkwardly cut. Oh, it just is here. Mildly. He's for second there.   At least he's having some amount of fun, I guess. Well, I don't hate him. He's fine. I just don't know why he didn't take the lightsaber. It feels like a weird choice.  He is fine. He's fine. No, he's fine. I'll get back up in a second. He'll be up in a sec. Oh, hey, the Kylo Ren thing. I have lightsabers at this point. 2v1, let's go. It's not looking good for you. Yeah, you can just lift her out. You can just throw her against something. Take her now. Take her? Wait, he has the Force II. Did you just do that? See, I was joking, but she just did it. Yeah, that's it. That's it. He's out of the fight now. It's a 1v1. It's a 1v1. 1v1. 1v1. Wait, so... You're kidding. Friggy, you attack... Both of us were correct. Like... Don't defeat me. I don't have to. What was that? Did she organize that with Hu Yang? Wait, she just... I don't... She just pussied out? Wow. Oh, that looks bad. That looked awful as well. That looks Baelin's alive. That's so bad.  I just want Baelin to be alive because he's the only mildly interesting character we got. I don't know what that means, that expression, really. Is he annoying? Is he deciding to do the mission or go do his own thing?  Hopefully. He's not chasing her. So I guess he's going to do his own thing.  I'm fine. Fine. No, I'm fine. I'm fine. Just massive head trauma. No, don't land. Use your guns. No, don't land. Use your guns from a distance. They're all going to get killed. They're all going to get died.  I like the fact that drone pops out. That's like it. That's my only mild. Oh, look. It's like a chessboard to him. It's like a strategy. Oh, wow. He's playing save. He's playing XCOM. Oh, this is so cool. We have them. We have them. You're going to lose.  Our site is sure one messery. So you can scan them out there, but you couldn't scan them before to find his location. OK, whatever.  You're the best bear was a mistake. Walking you with bats gone. That was something. I like seeing someone pull someone away from danger with the force. It was fun. All right. So let's all shoot at once. And yeah, it's over. It's over. It's over. No, but that's not a good idea. Asoka will start killing them from behind. That's not shooting the crab people. Destroy them. Wait, wait, wait. No, I don't know. If he says, wait, that doesn't. You don't want to go down here. Don't you want to take us as prisoners? As prisoners. Oh, it's such a meme. Everything's a meme. Fire. So everyone fire. You have to fire. Shoot.  That's not even more reason to fire. No. Why don't you go? Why don't you go? Why was that? Even more reason to fire. You didn't. Oh, my God. I can't believe it. Oh, my God.  I've never seen worse combat sequences in any series ever. Oh, my God. In the best car. In the best car. Shoot her in the head. In the best car. Oh, wow. They're always. Oh, wait, wait, wait. Whoa. I thought you didn't need any weapons, bro. Yeah, it does. Horse was your ally. Oh. That kind of doesn't ruin that. Yeah, the horse gave him his gun, I guess. You have rockets, too. Damn. Oh, we almost got it.  Why did you write him to avoid the lightsaber but to accept the blaster?  Recall the gunships. Call of the aerial pursuit. Yeah, imagine if the gunships were doing anything. Recall the gunships. There you go. We lost, but actually it's a win. Take the gunships. Acceptable loss. It was in your air. Okay, it is. That's right. On your gunships. Fuck.  It's what you do. Shit. One might even call this first match with time or a success. One might call it a success. Oh, it's a success. This is good. Remember that time we flushed you out? Oh, good times. You see the whole time all my goal was was to get everyone killed. With our enemy distracted, the cargo transfer is now almost complete. They distracted. Oh, we- But they were already there. They were distracted anyway.   What was the point? You got them reunited and now they're going to make haste. Why didn't you just do nothing? Why didn't you just do nothing?    But no, I thought Thanos. Sorry, you're wrong. Thanos, you're wrong. You know what I'm saying? I'm sorry. I don't even know what I'm watching anymore. Oh, I guess never mind. I'm going to forget about this guy with a gun. Whatever. She's so good and amazing. And she has a lightsaber.  Yeah. I mean, the Soko looks pleased with us. They have guns. Look, they have guns on the front.  Too bad, too bad. They don't work. Surrender your weapon. Shit. OK, this would be interesting. I can help you. Oh, yeah. No, you can't. Nothing can help this show. What? What? She just walks off. I mean, I guess that's what I would do.  Yeah, but they're supposed to stop it. I know, I guess. Like, I guess they just let her.  It's just like Napoleon Bonaparte said. Never interrupt your enemy when they're doing what they need to be doing. To save their own lives. I thought you were dead. I thought you were dead. Yeah, I didn't look that way. You did not behave that way. I'm not told. Oh, yay. Smiles and happy. Woo. Ah, look at that. This is the point of the episode where they reveal that some of the crab people have been horrifically murdered.  I knew it. You thought she was dead. Clearly, I was wrong. I love this. Clearly, I was wrong. She's fine.  Everyone laugh. Dude, even Return of the Jedi of the Bulls to show dead he walks. Get home with it. Boobly, boobly, jubbly, bloobly, bloobly, bloobly. I don't... I get it. We need to see all of this. All those CG authors needed to create all of that. I think I might be going home after all. Can you please tell him what's happening? It really is like a cartoon show. This is like a children's cartoon show. It really is. It's like it's literally like one. Oh, shitty children's cartoon show. Yeah, it's really shitty. I'd say that nobody is upset with Sabine at all then. No, nobody even remembers. We did it. I think these people have object permanence.  That was awful. That was horrific. That was really bad. Horrific. What is... Oh, what is the point of guns? What's the point of combat? What's the point of anything, man? So, interestingly, because I'm thinking about what I'd heard about this episode before watching it, I would say it's simultaneously a loads of things happened and nothing happened because... Oh, yeah. What did we accomplish? If you think of the chess board, all the players, all we did was move Ahsoka to the good guys. Exactly, over the 40 minutes, all that happened was Ahsoka reunited with Sabine. Everything else happened in the middle. Yeah, every scene we saw, if you think about it, has no significant consequences.  Except for Hara's off the hook. Yes, yes. That's true.  And that's everything in her role in this season has now just been absolved. That's so insane. Catapulted Hara into Mon Mothma and Leia to damage both of them at the same time. Yeah, that's really annoying. Thanks, Dave. Yeah, that's exactly what happened. Leia didn't even have to be present and she did something that damages her character. Mon Mothma barely in it, something that damages her character. We've got Hara being let off the hook, which is wild in that clown scene where no one behaved like a human being would actually behave. I don't get it. If you have an understanding of storytelling, don't you realize that consequences, conflict and friction? An interesting thing has happened. With Sabine, I think it's safe to say there is going to be nothing about her making this choice. We'll be like, yeah, you made the right choice. We've already moved into It's Us vs. Them. We've got to stop them now. Exactly.  No, Thrall's making it back, which again, that's on Sabine. She enabled it to happen without her. She was instrumental. She was critical. She was the final point at which he could have been stopped permanently and all of the deaths that will follow on that. And yeah, whatever. Can we... Nothing to do with her.  The fact that the whole time he's coping like that. Yeah, exactly. Exactly as I... Who keeps touching Red Dead Redemption 2? Everything is going according to plan. Holding back tears like, no, no, no, it's going fine. I'm not mad. You're mad. You're mad. We made the mad everywhere. That's our plan. See, that was just us. Now I'm applying that. He's like swallowing the cyanide pill.  She's like, how is this a good thing? He's like, you see, I have defeated my opponents because I am so great and fun and intelligent. Tell everybody I was great. I am a grandad, bro. I am a grandad. I am a grandad, bro. I know the mines did nothing and then we lost fighters for no reason and then we lost stormtroopers for no reason.  So this was basically a win.  Yeah, I think it's sad to say he's obliterated already. He's gone.  It's so funny because you get like a tiny win in a game you're getting smashed and he's like, yeah, OK, we're in this. It would be like him bragging because he's got a death streak in modern warfare too. They call me final stand. Like, oh, there we go.  They didn't even have the gunships use their guns. He had to say the word. He said the word gunships. It's a clever portmanteau of gun and ships. And you can put it in the air above the people you're trying to shoot.  Oh, man, no, no, no, no. Crazy ones that land and then sit there doing nothing. It's a particular line that he said. It's like in the second third where he's talking about moving all the pieces together and he says, if Lord Baelan proves capable, we may yet win the day. That's such a moment you get a shot of Morgan Elsbeth's face. Rewind in the episode, it was like, I'm planning to obliterate Ahsoka.  And then it was, let Ahsoka do whatever the hell she wants, actually, and let our men go in there and stop them. And then the men were pulled out.  We won. What? What do you mean? Gradually across the whole episode, he was changing his like, his actual intentions. At first it was just win. And by the end of it, it was like, I wanted to lose, actually. Losing is actually the ultimate victory. They wouldn't expect just fine time. That was so awful. The game's called inevitability, where if things are going your way, if time goes on, so like, if your win condition is time, you don't have to do anything. They just need fodder.  And then, yeah, we'll just bring in the stormtroopers and they'll just fodder to get killed off. And they'll just revel in the copious death of these stormtroopers. I don't know why that rubbed me the wrong way, because it seemed really indulgent. Because it's a waste of life. It's a total waste of resources.  Yeah, the idea that he would say that there were acceptable losses. Just disrupting from the air. And you have your fighters. Especially since he's already aware that they're working with limited and heavily reduced assets. The idea that he would say that those are acceptable losses, like, come on. So the cope is the word for it. He's desperately trying to come across as though he knows what he's doing. To his cheerleader, who's like, oh, great. It's like a comedy beat where the inept villain, like Dr. Evil, then you have number two being like, Dr. Evil. Why are we killing all of our own men? It's like, well, actually, we're actually winning. Because everybody's been kept busy. That was a thing in Star Wars. That was a thing in Star Wars, remember?  What was it called? Oh, Operation Cinder. Oh. Yeah, that's a thing. You said it was a joke, but they actually did that. That was in Star Wars Battlefront II, where they killed Empire loyal planets. To show just how mean they are. By the way, we've got another notch in the belt of lightsaber battles are worthless and mean nothing. He just ran away. He just ran away. Shit, I can't believe Shin just ran away. They both ran away. Well, we both ran away from Balin. Ahsoka just ran away. You could just do that. You will not beat me. I don't have to. This is bothering me. They didn't even buy any time. If you think about what Ahsoka would have done. She just slowly made her way to Sabine. Well, I mean, it delayed them by what we saw in real time, like 10, 15 minutes. Yeah, at most. And if anything, it's now galvanized them and forcing them to make haste, because now they know that they've found they're in danger and they're probably going to get left behind. The morale is definitely up on their side. Doubt on your side. Ron, like all the stormtroopers died and our gunships didn't shoot a single shot. What's up with that, bro? Well, actually, you see that was the strategic. Ammunition costs money. Well, actually, should be the beginning two words of every sentence from Thrawn.  Oh, by the way, some of the worst visual effects. Yeah, yeah, that was believable. Really bad, yeah. Good drop from our ship was something else. Well, I don't know how I didn't think it could get this bad, but you know, with how much. I've got it on A.B. repeat. It is so bad. She looks like a buddy. It's the way she does a little hop. And I mean, it was, you know, bad compositing, really unconvincing environments. And the hermit crabs are not very convincing, either, of being real. No, it all looks so awful. But I mean, like the CG smoke looked really bad. I mean, it's got to be, again, crunched. Directly on cue because seven and eight are indeed where we said the most things will happen. But it's also that that means it's the hardest to control for like a shitty writer.  Yeah, I think this is the worst episode of the season. There was absolutely. I think it's no contest in a sense. The absolute obliteration of any possibility of Thrawn being a worthwhile character, which is like what this show is. If we took it very seriously, I would expect at this point that they're trying to characterize Thrawn as a fraud. Yeah, like in a good show, this would be how you characterize a fraud.  Yeah, it turns out that he's got under a lot of pressure. Everyone thinks he's amazing, but really, he's not that good. He got lucky a few times. Exactly. He's struggling with addiction. By the way, it would be a more interesting story. If you have the show called Thrawn and it's him back in the galaxy and it's everybody gradually realizing that he's like a false profit, that he's not going to save them. Do you think with that empire side, it would be really neat, actually. Imagine we have empire loyalist characters who have put all of this stock in Thrawn and they're slowly just having to come to realize that this is actually just going to save everything. Yeah, it's just Jova. Exactly. We saw Anakin again for no reason and we saw C-3PO. Yeah, that's right. Oh, yeah, the C-3PO one was just really painful. Give me those member berries. No, that was really cool. I don't know what they're trying to do, but the New Republic in all of the Dave Filoni, John Favreau stuff has been presented as astoundingly incompetent and barely existent as a government. And antagonistic. Because you've got your renegade heroes who are going to go out there and save the galaxy their own way. Just by completely ignoring the New Republic in jurisdiction and law, shouldn't they be presenting the New Republic as an institution or something that's worth preserving and bolstering, especially when they replace the Empire?  Leia, you can't do this. Hera, you can't do that. Like, what are you guys, you guys, stuff like this is what would destroy our civilization. What, that you can, you have a government that says no and then you're just like, yeah.  Who is accountable for the deaths of those two New Republic soldiers who, you know, on the orders of one of their superiors, went bravely into the abyss. Yep, just for her. What about them? That's it, nobody, no justice, nothing. That's it for them. Sorry, guys, I don't know. Sabine and Hera, I particularly dislike. Yeah, Hera's been utterly butchered. She was okay in Rebels. You mentioned that she was like the better character in Rebels. Yeah, she was easily the best character because she was completely colorable. She was quite good and she had a few things going on. She's a bit of an add-on in this season. Why is she here? It's way more about Ahsoka and Sabine. But it's left behind, right? Here's who we get in front of the court. I guess we just don't care about Zeb. He gets a passing mention and we barely talk about Canaan. He's got a little cameo.  Worthless, yes. Ezra's talking with Sabine about them both having received some Jedi training at the same time in the past and neither of them bring up their dead master who trained both of them. They just don't care, I guess, when he had another big heroic sacrifice. It's safe to say that if we had watched Rebels, the show would... There'd be even more contradictions. Yes. ...and reduced character. Yeah, infinitely more objections to register. How is it even possible? He's already hit the floor pretty much. You're dependent on something and that's something that you're dependent on makes you worse. I don't understand. How can people watch this and be happy with it, you know? Like, this is ruining everything. Everything that you wanted to see that's ruining it. What's the point of being a fan? What's the actual point?  Yeah, the fights aren't good, the characters suck, the entire tactics and the plot is garbage. If we get past all of that, the spectacle isn't that interesting. Like, if you want spectacle, just go watch, like, the Star Wars movies. You can watch Andor. Yeah, that's true. Andor has better spectacle. Andor has better spectacle. The I.F. Aldani. Way better. Way better. This is the kind of thing that makes me wonder, what do people like about Star Wars? Oh, it does make me wonder. They've attached their identity to the brand. It was a shared thing from the Star Wars theory where someone said, like, why would you like this episode? All it was was Anakin, lightsabers, the Force, like, just swing, swing, blah, blah, blah. And then he was like, are you asking me why I would like Star Wars? And it was like, oh.  It wasn't in it just because I really like the colors and the sort of the vibes.  This is the point of character and themes. Yeah.  Yeah, I'm not even sure. I feel like... We're in Mando territory again. Well, yeah, but it's difficult to even draw. Mando has a bit of a theme, right? Mando is sort of opening up, learning to connect with people and be a hero. I don't, I can't even imagine what Dave's statement on Sabine would be for this show. It's the linear equivalent of hard tech. It's just there to waste as much of your time as it possibly can.  It's Java. We go now. I'm sad and angry. Yeah, I don't know.  Oh, yeah. Because then it would be indestructible and impervious to all damage.   Why shoot cannons? Why bother? I'm going to just fly into this bone.  When you're shooting, at least they use the guns. She just blocks everything. Yeah, with her light sabers or it never hits her home. Is there helmets on that other wood planet? It's gone somewhere. I know. Hu Yang had it, right? Yeah, Hu Yang still has it. She'll have it next episode, beginning of it. Yeah, so she can take it off immediately. Yep.  I'm not good at this. Oh, Soka. Perfect. He nailed it. Oh, Soka. Hard to believe you got all those weeks ago. We started the Ahsoka show, and now here we are, right before the last episode, and it feels like it was only yesterday that we started. I feel like I have so little that I've been digesting it. It feels like so much has been accomplished. Like, go from Mando season two's leave off of like, where is Thrawn? You could literally have started this season with the crawl saying Thrawn has returned.  Then you've skipped a whole season of compelling story telling. How do we be fair to this?  It's like, hmm, you would have missed out on Ahsoka going into the world between worlds. That's probably the most significant event that happened, and even though that's the most significant event, I don't really know what we gained from it. On Sabine saying that she misses Ezra, which, damn, that's kind of crazy, you know? We've gotten that, yeah. That's the, ooh. Hera just highlighting the corruption in the Republic and making use of it for herself. That's all we really got from the season. Highlighting the corruption that she leveraged, yes, I thought. Yes. I just sent C3PO in to bail her out. Yeah, she didn't even know what was going on. Either that she didn't know what was going on, or they told her lies. They were like, hey, this is a really good mission. It is really important that the set are crazy and they don't let us do things.  That means that Leia has no faith in the government, like, as it stands. The government she helped create. Yep. Aw. Like, don't worry.  Could you overpower the lower level mods?  What do you mean? We never would have met Balon. Unfortunately though, we're not going to be getting any more Ray Stevenson Balon after this episode.  But there we are. I guess, well, I mean, he was mildly interesting for the end of the episodes. He could still be like, rescued for interesting. Yeah, he could be. But I don't think he will be existing for learning. That a competent writer could do a lot of really neat stuff with, but they're more interested in just jangling him there as the impression of something that could be interesting. I know how they do it with everything, and wanting to think about interesting things. And yeah, so as Rags said, it's just like, man, we watched a season. I don't remember that. It flew by. It absolutely flew by. We had so little calories in there that it feels like we just started. It didn't fly by. It was incredibly boring and long. While we were watching it, it took forever, but we have so little to think about and chew on and digest that. Yeah, well, I don't know. It's like, oh, there was nothing there. You don't retain any of it. It's all just life. So I was thinking about something while I was watching the EFAP TV episodes. How useful is that map? Did they actually need that? Don't they say in episode five, it's like, oh, we sent you visions and stuff. Thank you for your guidance. Like what? That was to tell you we're over here-ish and then she got the map to be specific. Why does the map exist? I don't know. I don't know.   Why? Yeah, because you must have been trapped and it seems like it's the same technology witchcraft thing stuff that these witches are using. It doesn't interact with witchcraft. I don't think so.  How did that get over here? I think the only way that it can be explained is that it is a map that tracks the Starwild migration path. Which is like a secretive thing even though people know about Starwilds except for the ones who don't.  I don't know. But with how galaxies work, that doesn't really add up. But what's it even the migration path? There's just where they go to die. That's what they say. Where they go to die. Yeah. All right, well then it was apparently they started their migration path to death. They knew that apparently that they die there. And it's also the same planet her ancestors are from. So why didn't they just say, hey, Tron is like totally with us. You know where the planet is, right? You know the planet. Or she just knows about the planet but doesn't know where it is. It's all really weird and I hate it. It was kind of crazy in that episode we just saw in continuity that introduced this concept from the witches that they can individually track presumably a force user if not just anyone. They can just track them pinpoint down to their like that laser was pretty accurate I guess because the lasers they ended up firing based on the coordinates from that were like one to one with exactly where Soka was. Like this thing where the witches are able to track someone wherever they may be down to an individual coordinate. It's like, hmm, that's an interesting. There's some other force user that you've been trying to find. To be fair rags, they've only had a decade. Okay. Like how do you presume they could do that? Yeah, it is only 10 years. And we're really busy with all of the nothing on this planet. That's insane. And I saw someone else point this out and I was like, oh, that's kind of true. How sad is it that we arrive and what do we see from Thrawn? It's like, well, it's his ship. Like there's no outposts. There's no settlements. There's no system set up to like make use of the resources on the planet or the surrounding area of like the solar system wherever they are. And he had 10 years. He had all the resources of the men on there and the Star Destroyer itself. This could have been like a really dire situation that was made okay because of his leadership. We saw nothing. They're basically just on pause, right? They were sent there. Pause, age them up in only their uniforms and make like golden pieces into the Star Destroyer. It's pretending as though it's a story again. It's not really like actually the consequences of what would have happened. And imagine like the loyalty to him was insanely strong because of the fact that he pulled them through the decade when they could easily have died. You know?  Yeah. It's like the samurai Yeah, there's some like bandits from around. The marauders, yeah.  So they'd probably make a good match for strong troopers, I guess. If you had 10 years that Thrawn could have gotten them into his own sort of systems like he incorporated them. He's like, join us. We're going to go to another galaxy and conquer it. They could have done anything. This is a planet that is the first time that we've been in another galaxy in Star Wars.  It's the most dull, uninteresting, uninspired desert that there could be. Yeah, it's basically just like slightly different. Even a planet that was literally just nothing but sand dunes in a way seems like it would be more foreign and alien than this world where it's just got like rocks and shrubs kind of growing everywhere in a little river. It's just a tundra planet. It's just a tundra planet and we got tundras on earth. It's rocks and hermit crab people. So like little mascot dudes and then tuskens in a new coat of paint. Like that was the best. Pretty much. Yeah. I mean, look at the shivering aisles or more wind or all these crazy kinds of planets that exist in fiction right now that are clearly these otherworldly strange and bizarre places. Like you go to these places and you know these games or like as I like Felucia and previous Star Wars installments.  It's a totally different in alien world. And this place is just like I don't know Serbia. Well, I think we were all on the same page that Thrawn makes it back to regular by the end. Absolutely. Yeah. I guess. I guess Thrawn gets back. I guess it's open.  So there's no thing about him that he even begins to imply that he's intelligent. One might even call this first match with time a success. Guys, he's totally winning. ISD and some guys. That's his resources. Which is he usefully found on his travels here, I guess. A lot of people include himself thought the Balan would die in episode seven, but he was not only not dead. He seems to have more things to do more things that imply he's probably going to survive the season now. I mean, yeah. Well, yeah.  So and I don't think maybe that plans to bring him back in season two or something on his little own arcs going on. But well, I guess that's not going to happen, of course. We'll get the shin back stab. I just hope we get a decent chunk of him at least, whatever he's up to, so that we can, you know, even make it a good foundation for whatever we see him next. But in any case, he's kind of the only thing I care about. I just want to see more of what he's up to. See if it's any of any interest. All right. Well, Ahsoka, what's happening with her? She's going to be smug and win. She's going to stand around. She might cross her arms a couple of times and then slightly smirk in a subtle way towards something. We're going to end with because we know that Thrawn has to survive and make it back to normal land. We're going to end with her doing a, you know, smug, happy, contented smile while she folds her arms at the realization that everything she did not want to come to pass has happened. Huh. Isn't that a bitch? Like you said this will end badly quote unquote, but they'll be like, it's OK. Yes. Yes. They're going to be like, this was this was a really good because we got Ezra or whatever when exactly the thing they set out to prevent has happened. Yeah. Asra is definitely not going to address that this has happened. He's just going to like, oh, I'm glad to be back. As you said, I want to go back in the next adventure. Who's she boss fight? No. She's got to boss fight somebody. Maybe the witches. Oh, don't tell me we're getting like what's her name? Elsbeth round two. Yeah. If she was going to boss fight the witches, it would be Elsbeth. Yeah. I wouldn't think of three weirdos.  Yeah. She did. She did. Yeah. She did. Instead of like a. Oh, maybe they're the witches.  Like throwing toasters and like anything they could find your wrenches. Base toasters, of course. They just throwing them. So yeah, I feel like that's probably on point. What about Sabine? She's going to use the force. Yeah. The force has never happened. You're a Jedi now. High five. Well, how much force use? The theory on Fringy's part was that Ezra will be in trouble and she'll be like, oh geez, oh man, oh God. And then she'll have to use the force for the first time ever. Oh man, oh God. That's probably on point. That's the thing I even think of. What else would they be? I don't know. What about Ezra? What's he going to be doing?  Oh. I'm just going to come around, do force things. Probably not. I don't feel like Ezra's going to be doing anything important. I think he's just going to start to be around. Be around, yeah. He's not one of our heroines. Just going to ride shotgun. He's like, I'm here. Hello. You almost want to take bets on if Kainan will be mentioned whatsoever. Like. I mean, sure. Like who? The four of us are like, oh yeah.  Ezra's former master. Ezra and Sabine's former master. He was part of the Rebels gang. Sacrificed himself and stuff. Yeah. So if Kainan, if they talked about that whatsoever. I feel like we've covered it. I don't know what else would happen because the other 35 minutes of the episode will just be nothing. Oh yeah. That's all going to be wide shots and look at the fighting. Lots and lots of fighting. It's kind of nuts because yeah, we really have wasted so much time and now we're kind of squished. There's nothing much to do. So there's no technical throne blunders. Because you can't do a lot of interesting things now. You haven't done enough setup.  Remember Boba Fett where they're just like, look, a rancor. Look, it's bad, bad Kain. Kain bad. Bane, Cad. Cad Bane.  And oh look, the robot cyborg people are spinning around. Oh no, the canteen are exploded.  Meanwhile in this, I'm expecting like thrones like, we're going to leave soon. And then Sokka's like, no, you won't. And then he's like, Borgadelsbeth, you delay her while I escape. Then they do a little fight. General Thrawn, they shut down. Oh no, Star Destroyer. Well, that's part of my plan. Ha, ha, ha. What's his name, Enoch? He like, you like punches Ezra in the face and then starts strangling him. And Ezra's like, oh geez, if only I had a friend who wasn't too great with the force but good enough to save me.  That's the second time that happened in all of Star Wars. Damn it. No way it was jamming. And then, yeah, then they win. But then they're like, oh no, Thrawn escaped. But at least we have each other hug. And then Anakin waves in the background. He's like, hello.  I'm also here. They all told me you're here.  Do you get it? Do you get it? Do you think we're just leaving this new galaxy setting, I guess? Yeah. Is everyone just leaving? We're just leaving. We're going to be back. I mean, it's really low effort. So you're probably right. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Whoa. Run. Run. Thrawn. Thrawn. Thrawn. Thrawn. Go, get out of here. Get out of here. Move. Run. Have a show. I will say it's unfortunate that Mon Mothma didn't make it through the show without damage.  She wasn't there so short as well. Yeah. Your visions guided me across the stars.  She's been in like a decent chunk of all of this and she caught nothing. Everyone of the in all these action scenes, they all behave as if they know that they're invincible characters in the TV show. No one acts as if they're actually in danger. Yeah. One of the people are about to shoot them. One of those bombob and so many kinds are all just chill.  Oh, here we go. They showed this in the previous episode. Why would you show that? Oh my god. Why would they have the stairs turn into a slide? Just have her jump off. Why did they put that in the previous slide?  They're really pro now. Surely the guy who edited it was like, oh, this will be funny. I'll pop this back in. It's just called magic. Yeah, but with a CK, right? Yeah, that's magic. That means it's different. Yeah, magic. It's just funny because a lot of people would try and explain the force to people who haven't you know, heard or seen a bit of it before as a magic system and then they're like, also there's a magic system. Why is the helmet of the dust guy in here?  Yeah, what's up with the dust guy? Dust guy was just like around. Can I just, I mean, they put a sink in before.   Yeah, geez. How do they even do that? I don't know. Why would they waste any time doing it? The cargo transfer is complete. This cargo transfer has been what's delaying them. The cargo has ended up on the Star Destroyer. Where was it? Yeah, behind that pillow over there. Was it on this little thing? And it's like, why wasn't it on the Star Destroyer anyway? I mean, there's a staircase that goes down. I guess they just emptied the whole dollar. I don't know.  He wants Tiefighters to blow up their ship. Dispatch two Tiefighters if they find their mark. Tell them to engage. What? Can you make up your mind? Yeah, do you want the, what are you trying to delay them?  Do you not care what they're doing? What's, what's the deal? Oh, she's staring at him. Long pause. Even I, for victims is a heroics of a single Jedi. Would you describe it as heroics? Never again. Never again. Ever again, huh? Ever again. We'll see. Our Alliance has proven to be quite beneficial. Would you like to join our membership program? Why are they grateful? What were they doing before? How do they benefit? Are they getting some out of all this eventually? Maybe giving a really good recipe for her. Is she going to get a ball? Oh, are they going to witch her? Are they going to, are they going to give her a ball? What are you going to bait her? It's the balance patch. She's going to get in front of the ball club. The gift of shadows. Oh, shadows. Are you prepared? I don't know. She's like, could I, could you just be a little more specific? Could you say what that means? They're like, no. I don't want to end up talking for the rest of my life with an echo. Hey, Jay. Just throwing it a background smile. It's like, this is funny. Yeah, the throw is like, you guys, the cosplay stuff is a little much, but that's okay. That again, he is a blue bad. So. Yeah, we're going to get you a lovely red outfit. No, it's fine. We have lots of time. We have so much time. No problem.  I assume the, the red outfit just comes with whatever she's about to do. It'll just appear. Oh, God. The loud. Oh, no. Oh, geez. Does it hurt? That doesn't hurt. Broad is definitely like, you guys are weird. But what's this? Oh boy. He's got a black eye. All right. All right. We're going to be black now. Is it more of these people? Is it only those three? Well, four now. Here is your ball. Don't lose it, please. I was going to say, where's your ball? Give her a ball. Yeah, she gets a ball. Give her a ball.  They'll give back this ball. You'll also find some handy soaps. Little pin. A few towels. Badge. The t-shirt shall arrive after you've seen the tailor. Oh, no. What's happening now?  Fuck. What are we doing? It's necromancy. What is happening? You think it's a sword? Oh my God, it is. Is it a sword? Why don't you get a sword? No, man. What? It's a ball. I don't want a sword. Yeah, make her her ball.  But where's her ball? It is a sword. She gets a sword.  Ooh, the blade of Talzin. What's that? Theo, tell us. Mother Talzin was the leader of the night sister peoples in the real galaxy. He's the one who fixed the mall. They just create a sword.   So, yeah, she's definitely boss fighter. It's okay. Yeah. Okay. It's on fire, dude. Green fire. Are we joking right now? Green fire. Oh, does the lightsaber still just cut through this with ease? Now, what should be made of beska? It's going to deflect the lightsabers.  There goes two of them. How many tie fighters do I see there? Dude, that'd be so funny if the first clash of that sword on the lightsaber and the sword just breaks and she's like, oh. That's six minutes done. This is like an old shitty story. That was six minutes. Holy fuck, you're right. Yep. Chunks of the episode. Oh, dude. Oh my God. Ew. Dave, stop it. Stop it, Dave. I think I hate the episode names for this show more than any other. Any other, yeah. Yeah. It's like actual children's show names. What do you do? Are you just written by a child? Why are they flying directly above? I don't know. Hey, guys. We're here just in case you needed to find us.  Yeah, why? None of you guys get exploded.  That stuff kind of blends into that. Where are they going? Why are we even? I don't know. Yeah, what is their plan? Are they just going back to the ship to try and get on the IEA once it's called? What are you building? Is he building a lightsaber? Yes, he is. Look at him. How can you build a lightsaber? You need a fiber gristle. They crystal-y bit. Right? So I could just have a bunch of them. No way. Why did he? Look, I'm going to work. What are you talking about? The blade emitter is too narrow. Oh, so was he bullshitting when he said he didn't need a lightsaber? He really, really wants one. What is he making one? Soka wants us to go after the drawn as soon as we're ready. I thought you didn't need a lightsaber. No. The force is my ally. That's all I need. Why did they put that in there if they're just going to counter it twice significantly? The logic, I think he was saying it's like, yeah, it's yours to be in. Therefore, I need to do one. Yeah, but that's what he should have said then. Instead of, I don't need one. I just need the force. Yeah, but that's, that's, he's, he's. Hainan Jarrus. He was my master. Oh, there it is. Oh, there you go. You mentioned. The last time he's been mentioned.  He's not. Tell me everything I know. Right? Thanks for the recap. Yeah. Yeah, that's because this is all you're going to get. Guys, surface level. That's it. And I taught him how to build a lightsaber. What? Just to mention that he exists. Oh, by the way, can you see the shirt he's wearing? Apparently his shirt is made of stormtrooper dog tags. Excuse me? That's a little, that seems a little morbid. This seems a little bit weird. Yeah. I taught almost every youngling at the Jedi temple, including your master. You have a boy. Caleb was very curious. I want you to know. Urgency. Why are we so slow? Why are we talking? Get to Thrawn. He might be gone as far as you know. The relationship between a master and an apprentice is as challenging as it is meaningful. Yeah, you'd think something urgent was happening with how rushed everyone is right now, wouldn't you? Yeah, everyone's really kind of chill. What does that look meant to me? Any of these fucking... My off-screen master-student relationship with Ahsoka really was challenging, huh? Yeah, didn't show us much of that at all. Let me just imply it. It's funny because if you think about it, they spent most of the season separated. They did. Oh boy, that was the perfectly... Is Ahsoka just flying around with all of these lightsaber parts and the lightsaber technician? Wouldn't Luke be kind of interested in this?  Oh, Luke. Wow. Oh, well, I guess he just had a quest living longer now. Ahsoka ever teach you how to... Oh, she's gone. Careful. That's a lightsaber, man. What happened between those two? Good question. It was a recap. Not much at all, really. Both of them thought each other were dead. Didn't really care.   After what happened on Mandalore? What? Wait, what? This is the last episode, by the way. Yeah.  It was only hundreds of thousands of Mandalorians on the entire planet. Ahsoka felt that if Sabine unlocked her potential, she would become dangerous.  It would be dangerous. Did we land? What are we doing? Oh god, do we have to do this?   Give me bailing. It's been ages.  What are you doing? This is the finale. Why are we going so slow? You need to not be around these little crabs anyway. You're just drawing attention to them. Yeah, why can't we let the crabs go? Let them live their lives. Let the crabs go, so you know. I do. Change more than three words at a time, please. You're asking a bit much. Wee. Oh wow, look at that stunt.  Never thought I'd see him again. We might not have had your chosen differently. Yeah, we know all of this. Have a nice day on the Bollywood universe. Thank you. If you had done different things, things that are different would have happened. Thank you, master. She really wanted to see us again. She said sorry. Oh my god. I'm sorry. I know. Ah, to what? The time. And that's it. Is she sorry? That's the scene done. That's the punishment she got. I'm sorry. I know. Over the years, I've made my share of difficult choices. This shouldn't have been a difficult choice. Well, she should be explaining to her exactly how heavy the choice was and how much of a mistake it was. But none of them seem to care about throwing anymore. Often no one understood my reasons. What are we even talking about in this conversation? Anakin. Like, what's the point of this conversation? Yes, that is the master. Always stood by me. What about that time? No, he didn't stand by you at all. You didn't stand by you when you defected from the order. Or the tack of the clothes or revenge of the Sith? You would even have been there. Yeah, you vader.  Yeah, you might think that. No matter what happens next. I'm going to be there for you. Okay. Wow. It's so good that they built them up so well that I cared so much about her saying that. You need an action scene. Somebody attack them. Have you kept up with your training? Okay, so that's the end. That's no conflict. No, have you kept up with your training? That's it for Sabine's punishment for all of her actions, by the way, her saying. I'm sorry. Yeah, it's fine. I think what people died from, remember? They keep conflating as though her rationale was altruistic, but it was really self-serving. It was incredibly selfish. When they're like, oh, you know, it's a difficult choice, and it's hard to tell which path is correct. No, you made a choice that was very specifically the thing that you wanted, but not the thing that was necessarily the best for everybody. Train your mind. Train your body. What does that mean? How do I do that? Trust and the force. Trust and the force? Dude, I hate Jedi wisdom. I want to see Sith training. Let's go. Just finished. Uh-oh, time for that. Oh, yes, they're getting attacked. Okay, actually. Just get time.  Oh, what's the point?  They wait. Did they just do something? Oh, it did do something. Wait, this is like two shots. They've almost destroyed the whole ship.  We sent two tie-fighters, by the way. Whatever blasters you have on those ships, you need to put it on all of them. Oh, my God. They've almost destroyed the ship. What was Yang doing? Don't know. Nothing. Oh, whatever. Yeah. Okay, man. That's why you don't fly a ship, by the way. That is a significant amount of force power. Remember, Yoda struggled to lift the boulders. Yeah, but remember, Vado grabbed the whole ship and pulled it to the ground. No, that was in a shitty fanfic show that we don't count. You'll only get a short burst out of the engines that way. More than a knee. More than a knee. Why did you sound like that? It's over if those blasters could... Why are they missing so hard? Did you see that? You can't hear you. I have a reasonably good targeting system. What's going to happen here? Move out of the way. Oh, for fuck's sake. What?  For fuck's sake. What's the point?   I had a feeling.  Oh my god. That was the most obvious thing ever. Like, why? They wouldn't even go that fast. Why didn't they move out of the way? Can't be seen.  Unless the camera's on them. I guess that's the reason they've done this. I'm shocked the time fighters did anything, even if they got... I can't believe they were so powerful compared to every other ship we've seen so far. How inconsistent. They were chasing by the five little fighters in space for ages when they got hit an insane amount of time. Remember their integrity was down to like 10% after an hour of being shot.  Got him. Is this meant to be a quirky comedy moment that you destroyed the ship? Yeah, and several of their ships have been choked up as well.  None of them have any. Sorry to state the obvious. This is going to slow us down a bit.  You were traveling at walking speed anyway. Only if we let it. What do you mean only if we let it? Only if we let it. You had a ship. Now you don't.  I'm seriously confused.  We're 15 minutes through. We need a militia. Successful strike on the shuttle, but you don't know what happened to the shuttle. A successful strike on the Jedi shuttle was reported before we lost contact with the flight group. An acceptable outcome. Really? Stop it. You lost two people. No, it's successful. They suck, man.  Assuming the Jedi ship is downed. He just said assume it's downed. How can you assume it's downed? You have no information on that. All you got was a report that they attacked it. We should prepare for a ground assault. What? How can you know that? You can't know that. Leave. Just get on your ship and leave. Leave. There's no, he should have left episodes ago, but there's no way he can know that that ship is out of commission. He can't know that. Where did you get these creatures from? Anyways, they're on their way to try and stop us from this. Nothing they can really do. So let's prepare for a ground assault. We can't know who they are. Where did you get these from? That's who Yang. Okay. He's trying to fix the ship.  They can repair this? Why?  Why not? Well, because we need to get it back up and run in by the end of the episode, which is another reason why Thrawn is wrong.  Leave. Oh, God. Look at your ship. How do they... What do they do anything to you if you just get on the ship? Blessing and the great mothers shall protect you in battle against the Jedi. How are you going to protect them against Jedi? When was that blessing in the lost battle? I'm sorry. We are actually sending a whole squad now. I thought we weren't getting involved Thrawn. Volunteers is? I don't understand. No, you have an army. You don't need volunteers. Yeah. Maybe we're aware of them. They're going to get left behind, I guess. Wow. They... There's no point.  He can't decide on what he actually wants to do. You don't have to do anything. If you just leave. Just leave. Yeah, because even if you believe fully their ship is downed, what does it matter now? They're fucked. On your way that you're leaving, you could just swing by and blow them up from the start. Honestly, how long is that going to take them to get there? Miles. That looks huge, like the distance there. I'm doing the best I can, however I cannot promise anything. No, I'm sure you'll fix it right when they need it fixed. That's so funny. Man, that was hilarious. I hope you don't have a heart attack.  This is absurd. This whole thing is insane. Everyone's being retarded. Thrawn found this place. Woke up the witches, rebuilt the starship. You woke up? Woke up the witches? What were they doing sleeping? Don't say that. Like we know what that means. We do you woke up the witches? Try the front door. Oh, no worries. He's going to lose it. They just like invented another one of these things for them to ride. Maybe we were thought, oh yeah, that's right. Where were they before? They just went to the park. Maybe as for just animal handling offscreen or something, I don't know. Rain hellfire upon them. Somehow I feel like you're going to miss every single shot. There'd be no negotiating with the apprentice of Anakin Skywalker.  It'd be so annoying to work for Thrawn. Don't you have to attach that during the loading up phase? Yeah, Steve, you're just not back in there just here. There's one tie fighter would blow them up. Yeah, it would be easy. They're going on horses. It's not so bad. They're right.  Let's see if it does anything. It's over. It's over. It's over. It's done. It's over. It's over. Damn, they're all missing. That's crazy. They're all going to keep missing. Why not? This is really intense. How do you make these scenes and not think for a second?  What are we doing now? She doesn't have the force. We established this. Oh, are they trying to open the door? What? Are they trying to lift the door? Why are they not getting... Look, he was getting frustrated at the plot armor as well.  That's amazing. They're just like... Wow. Yeah, okay.  Why even bother, man? Oh, okay. Come on. Yeah, see, look at him. He's like, this is unfair. Yeah, the universe is inspiring. Dispatch the night troopers. The night troopers. That's what they're called. The new variant of the storm troopers of the night troopers. You don't have time for dramatic pauses anymore, dude. He needs to just leave. What's going on?   Shot so blandly. Yeah, look at how slow it is to... You're stopping all of them. How good are you exactly? How did this feel so video gamey? Yeah, don't worry. She's got Basker and they don't hit her anywhere else. Why?   There's so many. You don't need to be precisely just fucking... Why are you moving closer? Why are you moving closer? No, they have lightsabers. Don't move closer. God damn. Just go right ahead and indulge in this like massive loss of human life. Aw, so cool. How epic what it was.    Okay, what's the problem? Oh, what are you doing? Wait, what are they doing? Chanting. Are they putting a curse on Ahsoka? Yeah, they said they did dooku. They said they'd protect the Stormtroopers from the Jedi. Blessing and the great mothers shall protect you in battle against the Jedi.  Yeah, nice one. Okay, could have... I would rather have some shields.  You've been fighting zombie troopers, are you?  That's just going to wreck the zombies. Yeah, this is going to go great, fellas.  Just going to unfold your arms. No. They're just zombies. They're worse. They are statistically worse than a Stormtrooper. We got lightsabers. Just chop them all in a bit. Yeah, no. This is new. One slice in half and they're done. Why are you whipping? And they still go down with a blast. Okay. Yeah, but they're shittier. They're way shittier now.  What are you worried about? Oh, look at Ahsoka. She's not even bothering. Yeah, she's like... I can't believe we're doing zombie Stormtroopers.  Wait, is armor working? Is armor working? Against blaster shots? I think this goes because they're zombies, Rags.  Wait, how are we here now? Just kill them. Am I dreaming? This is actually happening right now. Yeah, zombie Stormtroopers. Yeah, zombie Stormtroopers. This is like... This is embarrassing.  I can chop them into tiny pieces with your lightsaber. Oh, no. A surprise stealth zombie. Look out, Ezra. You can't do anything. You have a lightsaber, man. And what's he going to do?  Lightsaber? No, just get closer. Go closer. Yeah, he could use the force.  God damn, man. How are you able to block lightsaber or blaster belts if you don't have the force? You can't do that with human... I always thought that was a Jedi bonus. Yeah, not just do it generally.  She's been training. What's your excuse? I missed you. We're quipping again. I'm quipping. Fuck's sake. We feel funny. Are we going to talk about what's happened now? Okay, let's go. Off we go. Imagine Thrawn's ship is just in the sky. You know, something like this. Oh my god, it's so close now. The tension is so high. The Jedi are advancing swiftly. They make an onboard the ship, which would be... Problematic. Oh no. You're going to have to stop it yourself. Well, maybe if you would have left seven episodes ago. You're going to stop it with your green sword. We require a little more time. Yeah, uh-huh. Yeah, take your time, man. I don't understand why you haven't just left ages ago. The engines should probably just be on right now so they can hop on and get out of there immediately. Is he saying you're going to have to die? Stay behind at least. Stay behind. He was really sad about it. Well, Rip, you have to stay on this planet one way or the other.  Let's go. This is why you made me one so that you didn't have to do it. Mm-hmm. Yeah, the three of them are like, so this is awkward, but bye. Okay, bye. We left some M&M's in the fridge. We're with you in spirit or something. Yeah, anyways, see ya. You're against three people with blasters and lightsabers. Oh, sure. You should also use magic or something.  What? Excuse me? Wait, are these zombies or not?  They're zombies, but they can also, like, ring explosives. Okay. These guys are not zombies, right? I think there's a nice way.   Here's again. Oh, there you go. Oh, that'll fall down for a little bit. I like how that works every time. It's still so. Yeah, it's high-mash.  Dark Souls level. This is seriously, yeah. Okay, all three of you use your force and capture against the walls. Stay together, remember? You must stop throwing. The time you're going to take to talk about how whether or not you should be together, you could have just killed her. All three of you go. Kill her. Why separate? What would be the point? Well, no, you can't go. She's blocking the door, right? Just kill her. All three of you would quickly...  Nah, it's all been building to this. You know, this 1v1. Oh, she's letting them go. Oh, sorry, she's failed. Yeah, she's already failed in one of the tasks. It's going to stalling it off. She let them go through so that she could summon one. Oh, for fuck's sake, what are you doing? What are you doing with your sword? Yeah, okay. All right, it just blocks the lightsabers. So, this whole fight is going to be Ahsoka forgetting she has two lightsabers, right? Yep. She's going to keep locking them both against the sword. How is the sword not... She's just forgetting she has a second lightsaber.  Ahsoka's just sort of glazing over.  What's the point of having two? Oh, what is this? Oh, no, two of them? Oh, no, these two will be do. What will we do? These swarm groupers, instead of 15, like we fought before. These are mini-boss ones. Oh, well, there you go. That was easy. That looked like a decent way in. How did he do that? Are they robots or something?   I thought the lightsaber went through him. How did he do that? Is he already a zombie? Why would he already be a zombie? Because he wasn't dead yet. This is just a natural progression of being stabbed by lightsabers. It just doesn't do anything anymore. Yeah, we started out with episode one where it kills people, and now we're here. Our course is locked in, Grand Admiral. Why wasn't your course locked in already? Well, it's over. It's over.  I don't know why that wasn't done in the first place. What the... What is... Wait, what is he? Are you dusted? Oh, there you go. Oh, there goes the helmet off.  You dropped the lightsaber.  Oh, here it comes. The force moment. Yep, here we go. You have the force, Ezra. Use the force. Yeah, push him off the platform with your force. Oh my god, it's a stormtrooper. Use the force. Any moment now. Yeah, here it is. Okay. It would be so great if this didn't work. If it just... I'm gonna give him points if this doesn't work. It's gonna...  Okay, so it's her life in danger, but yeah, still. Oh, he just remembered he can do that as well, apparently. Yeah, they both remembered that they have abilities, and then we won. Yeah. Oh no, they're coming. Here they come. That one took him a lot longer, though. Yeah, I don't know why. Oh, they're gonna use the force to get on there, how are those?  He's... Maybe?  I don't know if they're allowed to do that. What was that? That exchange was awful. The weird standing jumping strike. Oh, look at that scenario where it should have just died. Moss is in range. Why did you stop attacking? Dude, she's moving into phase two. Like, you could see the animation. She was like... Musical change coming. The sword gets twice as long. Yeah. No, just shoot. Why not? You can't make that jump. Okay, then. Lightsabers aren't out if you just shoot.  You don't have the force really at all. You kind of move a lightsaber out. Yeah, you can move like a thimble, but you can't move a person. There's no way. This is volu... This is madness. Not that far. Not... This is insane. Dude, you can count all that. Don't do this. You could die. Like, why would you do this?  We gotta go see if our ship is... No way.  Like, this wouldn't work. Yeah, this is... It's way too late.  And you need your lightsaber out because you're going to get shot. Oh, wow. Yeah, that's not even close. How would you... How? How?  Okay. Okay. Yeah, no, you... How? Good. No, you made it though. Yeah, they're making it funny. Oh, she just unlocked the force now. So, if you happen to crash... You know what? I'm gonna go out and say, I'll take that prediction. I'll take... I think we've been right on mostly everything.  Oh, my God.  And I'll have a 2v1. That's the theme of this season at this point. You've got to stay... Oh, that's not good. All right. Okay.  She's not going to lose though. Why are they just standing around? I don't know. You can shoot her in the back right now. Boss fight right now. They're not allowed. Yeah. You can't see it, but there's actually... Nice. Stop kicking people with lightsabers. Do something. Oh, no, the ship is rumbling.  No, Sabine's here. Not alone.  How did nobody see her? She was just standing right there.  Why are you walking around? You don't need to walk around. You have a direct... You don't need me to... Oh, God.  Oh, man.  She's just swiping. Okay. You know what? Sabine's just the most awesomest, coolest person ever.  Oh, backhanded.  Which collaborative role? See, you've lost all your stormtroopers. You're alone now. No, actually, you'll die here alone. You don't even have your zombie friends. Just kill her.  There you go. I can't get over it. This person is the final boss. Uh-huh. That's it, bro. How shit, man.  And she's gone and we cut away not like one second after she drops. That's great. Morgan is dead. She has done what was required. Well, she got slashed in her belly. She might be okay for a little while. But you didn't get stabbed. Slashing is worse. Yeah, slashing is way worse than stabbing. Oh, there's still some stormtroopers. Like, I'm alive still. There we go. Do you want to get out of sight, Ezra? Nah. Also, he's very lucky there was only two stormtroopers here, by the way. She wasn't even looking, man. She wasn't even looking. See, like, we went from 0 to 60. Stop quitting. I feel like they were powers.     Why are you running after them when you could shoot? Yes. Well, that didn't work last time. Why would it work this time? No, you don't understand. He's always been successful. Every plan has been successful. All part of the plan or something. Pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew. I'm sure you'll be fine. It's going to be you. They're all missing. Yeah, they're all yanking. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, they're just all to stop. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Where did you go? Oh, there you are. Never seen this. That looks really bad. How do the scanners not pick up the ship? Why couldn't he take out that ship? Come on. What? What? Your bombardment took out the platform, but not this ship? OK, that's fine. That's fine. Should we shoot the ship that has a scope on it? No. No, the fortress. It's out of the scope or something on it. Should we shoot the ship? I mean, what's going on, sir? Who cares?  And I don't care at all. Me shambles. Well, that's a good buy, crap, people. Well, that's a good buy, crap, people. By Shin and Bailey. Is he stuck here? Yeah, I just realized here, nothing. Nothing this episode. He is failing stuck here. Yeah, I guess he's on his little quest. How did they get there so fast? That's so far away.  It's an Imperial Star Destroyer. You're fucked.  Just leave, man. We are tracking the Jedi shuttle. It is closing. Open the channel, please. Why? No, you said you weren't negotiating.  Yeah, why aren't they shooting right now? Both of them. Allow me to commend you on your efforts, today.  I regret we haven't met face to face, and perhaps now we never shall. Perhaps now we never shall. I know you because I knew you're master.  You're only referencing it on the surface. You never say anything interesting. I concluded your strategies would be similar. Stop coping. One wonders just how similar you might become. Oh, how similar you might become. She might become Vader. Remember, that's what episode five was about, apparently. Perhaps this is where Ronin, such as you, belongs. Ronin? Wait, why would he know that word? Why would that word be in this universe? What doesn't exist?  You keep saying the victory is yours. I don't believe you. Get it. You like samurai films. Long live the Empire. Long live the Empire.  They'll see you in season two. Don't worry, they'll be back. Yeah. Yeah. Ah! Ship howling. It sounds like they're making it go, okay. Sabine, you made this happen. I don't even know if they're going to acknowledge that. You didn't know what it is.  Can we not hit your ride on a space whale back? Yeah, let's see what to do. I got all the whales, right, to come back.  Still, can you give me a lift? Genuinely, I think we only have time now for the aftermath scenes. Just like a shot of Hera hugging someone and then a shot of these two smiling at each other. And then a shot, you know, like, just for everybody. Maybe they're battling like, Why are they smiling? Why are you smiling? It's what Theo says. They're just smiling because it's the end of the season. We did it, even though this was a catastrophe. Everything went wrong. They brought danger and death to us. So you guys don't speak these things language, by the way, no. If you think of like, square one was everybody was in the Star Wars Galaxy, and then square two was Ezra, sacrificing himself to put Thrawn away from the Galaxy. Square three is, well, now you've got Ahsoka and Sabine are in that faraway Galaxy while Ezra had thrown her back. Like, so we just lost. Bad trade. Yeah, very bad trade.  That's, that is Force Avatar of the Light Side. Oh, for fuck's sake. An owl? Now? Yeah. Owl? Yeah. Oh, who's this? Shin, that's something. Now, when it follows Ahsoka on Shin. What's she up to? She's gonna hang out with the bandits. Going her own way. Did Baelin kill all the bandits or something? Okay. Another 12. They're like, what? I guess she just wants to be the leader or something. I don't know. Oh. Oh, hello. Oh, there he is. He's on a finger. He's on a finger board. They're doing Lord of the Rings. Yeah, this is Lord of the Rings. A so-Lord of the Rings.   No, that's the, that's the father and that's the brother. The father is Balance and the brother is the Dark Side. None of that's real.  I'm sorry about that. Yeah, you know. Was he looking at Mordor?   I'm so tired, David. Why'd you do this to me? The big Star Destroyer just gets shot down immediately. He's like, oh my god, it's a pure Star Destroyer. Kill it. Imagine if the fleet was still here. Oh, they do end up at Dathomir. I've always said it episode one. This is exciting. Yeah? Oh, is this, oh, they're making a zombie army. That's, these are all their dead people. No, you're right. They're making a zombie army. Oh, no.  You're so right. Did they not know zombies are shit? The two black armor ones were pretty good. But because of their armor, not because they were zombies. I think they could survive the lightsaber thing to the body. No, you just have to slash instead of poke. Don't tell me Ezra stole one of those ships and now he's here. We're just investing land, by the way. Yeah, his hair is probably one scene. There's no hailing yet. Yeah, we're just going to land and have a pistol out. Should they know? Should they know it's Ezra straight away? He would have said. Yeah. Why is he still in Super Armor? What are you doing? He stole the, yeah.  How is this happening? How could this scene be happening?  Why did you come out with your helmet on? Why didn't you hail ahead? Say it's me. It's Ezra. Don't shoot. Yeah, see, he knows.  Stupid. I wonder if the rest of them don't even know who he is.  You don't know who that is. Ezra, I joined the Empire.  Yeah, I guess so much to know each other or something. Yeah, they were part of the original Rebels gang. Hey, where's my other friends? Hey, Hera, do you ever put those goggles on? Ever? No, no. So these guys are just hanging out with these guys? Yeah, just hanging out. Because then, yeah, you're stuck. You're trapped.  I kind of hope so. You mean like being dead? I hope so. Yeah, maybe. Okay, so they definitely want a season two. This isn't like a mini series then. They want another one. Yeah, look, nothing normal for ones. Really, nothing happened. They must need a season two.  Well, all these setups, right, of, you know, the mortis stuff and these guys here and, you know, everybody's split up and throwing back. Yeah, I guess, yeah, they want another season.  And I don't know why anyone would want. This is the skippable season if there were several. I think that's the kind of thing that people start to notice in retrospect.  Yeah. If anything, progress was reversed. He did well. Thrawn got away. Ezra got home.  Yeah, but you've come on, Ahsoka. One person got home and two people got stuck. Plus, Thrawn's back. So cool. You don't even know because he was stowing away on the ISD. So maybe he got caught and killed. Yeah, he could be dead. I guess they would have felt it in the Forrester Theos. They know. Ah, yeah. Right. Not bad. Probably another galaxy. Ezra is where he needs to be. Potentially six feet under, right. Ezra is where he needs to be. And so are we. Right. Because she saw the owl. So she knows that this is where she needs to be. Yeah, I guess so. Cap it off with Anakin watching down from above or something. Like, smooth as the Mufasa. Yeah. Yeah, Mufasa. It's time to remember who you are.   Oh, what's that in the sky there? It looks like a Christiansen-shaped cloud. Cloud. I'm so bored. Just end. Give me the credits. Just end.  I felt like. Felt like what? That was a weird cut. Nothing. Speak. Oh, OK. Thank you. Hopeful music plays. Wait. Come on. Fold your arms and smile.  Ha ha.  I mean, just, hey, use up that film. That's OK.  He showed a lot of restraint not having a folder on. It's kidding. Hello. I was kidding. Damn it.   Vader, the other Force ghosts. They don't care. Jeez. Yoda are busy playing cards.  That was it. That's it.  I can't believe it.  And what was more painful? God, damn, that was bad. It was struggling compared to Boba Fett and Mando and like the entertainment factor because it was so thin. Like there's so little. Mando was way more entertaining than this.  What a totally deaf season of television. I have no idea what it's actually presenting.  It's like Ezra is where he needs to be. And so are we. Ha, ha, ha. Yoda dwells like no.  You're coping. You're on where we need to be. We're on the back. And he's apparently very dangerous somehow. I still don't know how. I guess he's building a zombie on you.  What are you doing? What year is it? That's actually, that's they're going to have their big Mando movie where like the way that the empire is going to revive itself as well. Through zombie. With zombies. Which you know, it feels kind of fitting, doesn't it, thematically? For Star Wars. Yeah. It's like reviving this corpse and just having it parade around like to try it. Having it with some greater will, you know? Oh, we've had it. Anakin was in this episode, the previous one, Anna. Like seriously? Yeah, they got a lot out of him. Wow. Not a lot. Not a lot, but a lot compared, yeah. Well, computer expectation. It's so funny, by the way, if future me had been like, hey, you know, you want to see Balan, right? You want to see a bunch of scenes with him. He won't have any dialogue. I'd be like, good God, are we going to see it? And he's like, no. You're just going to see him on a statue looking. Everyone forgot that he and Shin exist. No one cares. Well, they're off on their own adventures that are going to be further developed in season two, I guess. Showdown. Star Wars story. More, more stuff. Exciting. Dude, please no.  Like, that's it. I like how it's just, you know, it's kind of hard to pick which lane to go with. First off, man, like just the action scenes are horrendous. The action scenes and the combat in this show are like an excellent, maybe the best example of how awful. For a series called Star Wars, it would be nice if we had something resembling tactics and equipment. And the interesting thing is something that they used to do.  It's like simultaneously large scale while hyper condensed and small scale because you only got like three heroes in the mix. Whenever I see the bad guys doing something, I know they're not going to do it in the way that you'd expect.  You know? Oh, yeah. But when you recount all of the things that happened, Sabine flew her ship into two high fighters to blow them up and they blew up, but the ship was fine. And then they went to the base, like a billion blasters, like lasers were being fired down upon them for what? Maybe one and a half minutes straight, which it should have been longer because I got to imagine that riding your horse, like the length of a Star Destroyer takes longer than a minute. And they all missed. No shrapnel, no cuts, nothing.  No explosion, no blast. And then they fought a billion, like they fought maybe 30 stormtroopers and they killed all of them without taking a hit. And then against the like zombie stormtroopers who were also shooting and stuff and could get back up, no damage sustained. And then fought the night sister, didn't do shit, lost one lightsaber. That was the only loss that the good guys had was one lightsaber. It's funny you say that because I think I noticed she's got them both repaired by the time we see her again later. That should be impossible, right? No, no. He's got his little lightsaber station. I'm sure he fixed them both. Yeah, okay.  Like the total losses for the good guys was one lightsaber. Yeah, you're stranded, but hey, you're alive at least. That's something. I don't know how many acceptable losses did Thrawn incur? A lot. Well, was there any like low point in the season? Really? The low point, I think, is meant to be episode four, the ending because, oh no, Sabina's with the bad guys going to the other Galaxies. She might be dead, but no, she's very much alive and she's a soak of the white now. After all that. A sucker and Sabina are so powerful between the two of them. Oh yeah, because now Sabine did something that if I saw Yoda do it, I'd be like, oh, okay, that's, wow, geez, she did it.  Like she can't do anything and then she can when she needs to grab the lightsaber, just like Luke and Paul.  There was definitely sentiment around of, oh, it's so cool that Dave is going to do a story where you don't need to use the Force to be a Jedi. I sure hope that they've revised their opinion to, oh, damn, well, they didn't do that. Actually, they did the stereotypical thing and that makes the show worse rather than recontextualizing it as R.C. She went on a big journey and she now knows how to use the Force.  It's really frustrating. It doesn't mean anything. Why does she never just give her, like, here's a book that, you know, if you read this, it will sort of introduce you to a lot of the more fundamental concepts with a little bit more depth. And then, I don't know, she's like skimming through some chapters and then we can see her like implementing some of those. I just wish we could see, like, the Force and Jedi methodology and ideology presented in a way other than your body, your mind and feel the Force. It's like, it's like you can come up with stuff. Okay. When I was in school and they were teaching me mathematics, they weren't like, okay, welcome to mathematics. I'm going to tell you about the numbers. So first off, I want you to close your eyes and feel the symbols that represent amounts. Just feel it. Addition, subtraction, just feel these, these concepts in your mind. Let it flow through you. Multiplication, division, the square root of negative one, you and it. No, it's like there's elements to it that are not tangible, but you can write them down and you can learn them and it's actually knowledge. It's information that you have to take in and they could do tests of, okay, we're going to teach you what it feels like to use the Force. Here is a horse. Over here is not a horse. Can you feel the horse with a force? Can you like distinguish the difference between empty space and a large living creature in front of you? Can you feel that? Okay, good. That's a fee. And you work on that.  Yeah. Yeah. Exercise. Yeah, I know that you do meditation. Sano, that kind of thing.  There are a bunch of different practices, different ways of doing that. It was funny because you were a mathematics. There's differences in cultures how to teach mathematics. Like the underpinning stuff underneath what the Force is, is like the influences are really, really simple stuff, right? It's like really vague Buddhist sort of ideas. You have so much reference material just from that. If you want to go and dig into some of the philosophy that they could be espousing, but instead we can never crack the crust. Like the outer, the very outer surface. No one wants to talk about anything past that. You've got samurai influences, but it really doesn't go much more beyond like pretty surface level comparisons. Meteor of the Rings stuff. I am on the rings, the mortis. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And the mind of the warlord. Obviously we just walled in general. The Jedi, the witch and the warlord. Oh, so good. Jesus Christ. Toilet in trouble. That's been cringed. This whole thing has been so cringy. That's, oh my God. I just can't believe it. It's so embarrassing. Nothing in this was like good.  The combat, the characters, the dialogue. What was the theme of the show? Stay together. Stay together. Stay together.  It's like, you know, Obi-Wan made the correct choice when he didn't stick by a good old Anakin.  But the robots that stay together. So we got to stay together. And then they did stay together. And then they did. At the end, yeah. And it worked out maybe. They got that night sister. Who was Morgan Ellsworth?  It's like your son is trying to restart the Jedi. Yeah, that's actually, that's pretty annoying actually the more you think about it. How they're like, it is just Dave Filoni trying to reorient the Star Wars world around the things that he made and the things that he cares about more. It's like, yep, we got to make it, you know, Ahsoka. She's so important. We never heard about her in Revenge of the Sith. And we never saw her in the OT. She wasn't around in the sequel trilogy either. I guess she's getting pretty old by then, but still, but no, no, she's super different important and everything is just revolving around her.  And now she's going to be doing all this mortar stuff, right? So she'll be even more important. Sure. Yeah.  Yeah, but it seems like that's going to be incredibly beneficial for her because it's hyper important, like hyper important place in the Force. Yeah, because apparently, yeah, this world is giga force important. If there's giant statues of the mortis peoples there. So, okay, right, because, and then the logic will be RC and the Star Whales with their hyperspace. It makes sense that they might be in the place because it's the force. It's not only the force, but also, man, I actually don't like that. He seems to be trying to tie together the night sisters in the force. I don't like that. I remember that more and more. Don't like it. Yeah. I remember like EU people trying to tell me that the Dathomir nonsense is actually some weird form of force usage. I think it's a distinction without a difference really because of how beyond the pale it is compared to anything resembling force usage.  They can just make a thorg. They make zombies. They are flipping people with like illness from across the galaxy. They can restore any weapons. Yeah.   Get it out of here. Mother Talzin used force cure Dathmall's insanity and then force give Dathmall a lower half. I'm not kidding. That was the thing that those were things that happened. And like we've talked about a couple of times but just overall now since the season is over what utter embarrassment on the part of portraying Thrawn like all he did was fail and then run away. You know you have her arrive and he has a thing in place that seriously damages her ship. She crash lands and then they're under oppression from like a bunch of stormtroopers and the last episode as they finally breach through they use a plan that you know defeats them all and then they're like all right now on to Thrawn it's like he left a day ago. Yeah.  They didn't do the thing the obvious thing of Thrawn knew this was all how it would go down. Instead they had him be like I don't know what's going on really. I just kind of hope in here. I don't know. Did we make it? I hope so. They seem to be trying to have him have like really layered plans such that you know he's always gotten out or another plan or a backup but it just ends up with him just throwing resources around for no real use. He lost so many people. Yeah. It was probably just 70 people. He kept half committing to every plan. Every single plan was a half measure.  Again I think we can see like eight in that shot. And when he finally when he finally decides to just bombard them the universe is just like nah. You don't go to hit any of them.  They just like nah just luck. Lucky. Just complete luck. That's not the reality. They're just ordaining that they win. Yeah and they just they portray this to us without any effort. I'm just like why do you why can't you try a little bit? I don't know. You're alleviated very quickly if you just don't have a mandate of action scenes every episode. Like you actually sort of just have an episode where there's no fights and it's just people talking and making plans and and and developing instead of always feeling the need to have half the episode comprised of fighting and not good fighting either. It's like just it's pretty badly choreographed a lot of the time and then yeah when you have a couple of moments where it's actually like well done.  The end of times they just throw themselves into danger that shouldn't be able to be survived.  I'm a soca. I'm going to jump right in the middle of 40 soldiers. It's going to be fine and then it is. How did any Jedi ever die? Like you know they're just you just portray them as just invincible and unstoppable. It's insane. And then you have Sabine with the Beska armor and Beska armor is still like a laser attraction.  It's so funny because out of the three of them Ahsoka, Ezra and Sabine it's like only one of them will ever be shot. It's like yeah the one with the Beska armor. Yeah the one with the armor and the Beska armor. But then then flashbacks they just get stabbed. Remember that? That was funny. Crash show is trash.  Yeah no one will rewatch this. Why would they? But he vadered. And yeah everyone will be waiting for season two to actually make all of this worth something. This was the best he could do for his OC. Just an embarrassing attempt by an incorrigible fan fiction author just cramming in references and ideas with no real through line as to what they are actually trying to say or do with anything. Zombies are cool though.  But Lord Rings is cool though. But Narnia is cool though. I agree that Lord Narnia is pretty cool. Lightsaber is cool though. Anakin's cool though. Vader's cool though. Goku's cool though. Sabine's cool though. You can just see him in the writing room like this.   I'm just so over.   It's like great. Doesn't this suck?  I mean I'm not gonna find it very hard to just not ever think about this whenever I watch like you know. It's just like he's talking about the very nature of like dubious actions in favor of an overall goal that you just like zombie stormtroopers powered by witches. It's just like no.   Star Wars. That's not a thing.  That's not real. It's your fan fiction. It's not actually part of the universe. This isn't this is no. No no no no no. You remember when Cassian and Lucen were just quipping back and forth at each other as they tried to escape the the corpos. Yeah when all the. I remember. The artillery came down. Nobody died. God it's so lame that when polled Andor get put lower than this. That bugs me. No episode of Andor is rated as highly as episode five of this show. I find that really lame. Well and everyone's like season two of Soka please season two. Oh my god we knew season two. Andor you know once season two is out and hopefully it's good and I'm you know I'm kind of confident it will be. Once that's done it's just like yeah that was this like weird anomaly this blip that will not be repeated. With any degree of consistency going forward. Like if anything it will just be another instance of damn it was lucky that a creator managed to like sneak a story into this gambling like farcical series and more sludge.  It's like I never thought zombies were going to be in Star Wars but here we are. It was something I was wondering is do we feel like Star Wars is in any way shape or form a cultural event anymore or if it's very much like in a really cultural kind of a place where there was a subculture where people get super duper excited about it but like on a broad basis these aren't really events anymore. There's not a huge amount of really sucked all the power and they did the same thing to it as they did to Marvel. That's not an event anymore. They have just cultural background noise now. I mean a good friend of mine who calls himself a Star Wars fan is like I didn't watch any of the last couple of shows.  He's like oh really then he tells me it's like I'm probably going to watch it someday when I have nothing else to do and just put it on the side like years from now probably just let it go over and then he's probably going to mention it randomly to me again. It's like oh what about that show?  That's exactly it. There's this constant awareness of the goings on of Marvel and Star Wars. Like oh yeah there was the most recent thing that came out but it's not that people are hankering to see it anymore. People aren't like super invested in whatever it might be. It's just yeah there's another thing I guess. Maybe I'll watch it. And even if even amongst the people who really enjoyed it how many of them are going to re-watch it ever? How many of them are going to be talking about it in a couple of weeks? How many of them are going to stick in people's minds rather than being a thing that you get really excited about while it's coming out but once it's done it has expended all of its usefulness as a creation. To both Disney and to you. And I think it's fair to say Dave has done a horrendous job of helping people who didn't see those shows like slip into understanding all of these people. Yeah having not watched the shows I don't think I have an understanding of these characters that Dave wants me to have. Yeah. I don't really like these guys. I guess Ezra's kind of he's like eh you know if there's anybody else I don't like. He's just so little to him. It insistently mentions their connections to each other in as a way of like trying to fill you in. I think that's what he's trying to do.  That's the best you can do in terms of informing how the relationship The sequel trilogy storytelling which is like Ray yeah Obi-Wan's daughter no no no Luke's daughter no no no Yeah Palpatine's granddaughter He's stating that there is some kind of connection or relationship between them is the relationship like you have presented it in the way that people actually want to see it which is the characters interacting with each other helping each other or conflicting with one another. We said that they have this dynamic that's as good as actually showing the dynamic play out. It's unfortunate because the DNA can be traced to the OT but they never really understood like any reason why anything happened. It's just like when you get it the reveal was the familial connection between Luke and Vader and it's like look what they did with that. That's one of the most meaningful connections in all of Star Wars. It's like exactly the entire climax of the trilogy. That's why it gets repeated in everything but only surface level.  Can you tell me how they feel? It's especially awkward in this television show because there's so much downtime where people could have talked about things instead of having seven white shots and even when they talk to each other it's Theo point out oh two words oh another two word response oh another question with like four words Well as we said about the Canaan being mentioned that was mainly Canaan being mentioned it wasn't really anything else Yeah that's all that accomplished there was this guy that existed by the way and like it seriously works like fans love that drip feed tease and it keeps them going I don't understand how the lack of content isn't noticed yeah I don't get it actually yeah I just I just want to ask someone who likes one of these shows some questions about I don't know any particular scene why do you like I just I'm desperate for Star Wars to be real like I was just looking at that scene again where she force pushes him up the thing we just like flip things around where he somehow ends up in a position where he is falling and she has to save him and she uses the force to soften the fall but he still like breaks his legs because that's the best she could do he doesn't die but that happens and like that's just something between them got from its stakes injury consequences yeah like she talks to him after it and he's still pretty upbeat but he knows that if only she were better that he would have been okay but she's just not you know something like that anything anything weighty anything that has to be dealt with fun enough they had some to do they could have had Ezra and Ahsoka chew her out completely for the worst decision ever and that that's poor training that led to it and that Sabine in future could lead to like worse and worse decisions and she's so self-interested and that she's cost the galaxy everything but no all she said was yeah sorry about that she's like yeah it's all right and of course never mentioned the two people that died because they went here no because they're random people and we don't think about that they've so been forgotten it's not even funny I hate that, I hate it so much I'm sure the it's not worth anything from the pieces of their ships have disappeared from the universe yeah Hera is not getting anything she's got bailed out by Leia like what a bunch of horse shit dude what is what are we doing she's just belly a character fuck me dude watchin Sabine just hill I don't know why she was in it like 20 stormtroopers all at once with their lightsaber in one hand and this thing in the other and then the Baskar taking all the shots just like that's so fucking lame and it's I don't know why they keep having a block but why do they keep having that Baskar with their forearm it's getting really annoying doesn't make so much sense so this is like the worst thing of Star Wars personified you have Mandalorian lightsaber the force the blasting off of armor and stuff all these stormtroopers just going down one by one by one faceless useless idiots and our awesome hero just fucking swiping through everything no worries in the world putting it back to so many enemies at a time because whatever I can't lose like that's Star Wars now you know after feeling anything is gonna happen to them it's the overcompensation thing because like they were like yeah Lucas is useless worthless hobo man who's pathetic and cowardly it's like okay so now let's just make every character fucking amazing yeah we talked about it recently like in movies like The Raid for example where they just aren't danger all the time and if you obviously if you don't know the movies like oh shit isn't that guy gonna die because they've been getting beat up all the time it's like I don't know if they're gonna survive because they get beat up they lose almost they hide from the danger but here's like I'm gonna jump in the middle of these 30 soldiers and then we're like ding ding ding ding and we win I'm unstoppable I know I'm the protagonist I will never die regardless of what I do we still don't know why she lost to Baelin that was just they just decided like you lost I was like okay oh yeah the fact that that you had another lightsaber battle that was only there to just fill time on the screen rather than be of any consequence at all yeah Star Wars is never gonna get better it's just it's never gonna get better I think it's doomed the conch grow up can't move forward as long as the initial reaction there's gonna be all these oh wow evader dude nine out of 10 17 out of 11 it's like yeah okay because then it doesn't matter anymore if they if they change their minds the way down the road because then already happened we're already moving on to other things and then the next thing comes out and you go like well it's like yeah okay sure people need to stop realizing it in retrospect and realize it in real time because in retrospect like it's already done right I just don't think they pay attention when they watch it you go into a soca super duper excited and ready to go and you're watching an unfold and the story is still incomplete and you can speculate about what's gonna happen and you're like really excited about what's next and yeah maybe some stuff is slow but we're building towards something you know we're heading towards the payoffs we're heading towards what I'm there for when it comes to storytelling and then when it's all said and done and you can see it you know in its totality and you see the innate episodes very little has been accomplished and that a lot of the things that you thought we're gonna develop into comprehensive themes or completed character arcs didn't manifest that then you start to realize like oh shit that actually wasn't very good at all it's kind of like it gets to remain in a place of being quality because it's not done yet and it maybe better going somewhere personified that like all this effort that puts put into what he means why he came here what's what's his whole deal and then he was a fart cloud oh that's perfect isn't it because everybody was speculating on and and so much of the speculation went nowhere wasn't there speculation that maybe Ezra wasn't Ezra well that wasn't true there was speculation that Sabine wasn't actually gonna be able to use the force at the end because it was building up some story about how you don't need to use the force to be a Jedi that's not the case obviously Shin and Balan's relationship there was so much more that people expected but we got nothing like it's pure speculation but I think that's part of where the no content actually comes in because it allows people to just entire stories around all of these characters based on what they may be perceived because they are they're so attached to Star Wars as a brand that that's all that really matters is like the ideas in their head the the imagination kind of thing that's going on with it and they don't really it's never a thing itself well yeah when Luke and Vader had their like final confrontation returners you didn't need to do any imagining it was all there it was things to think about but you didn't have to imagine scenes that didn't exist yeah I'm here to see their work not do yes I want to see their work I want to see what they created and what they just don't what they accomplished with their story I don't buy that anyone is rewatching Kenobi, Boba Fett, Mando certainly Mando season three I can maybe buy people would rewatch season one Mando I don't even know but even then yeah it's just as you know people were where would the drive be what's the point you when you start up a soaker again in five years from now why I could rewatch the OT desperate times now what was the last time these people rewatch the OT to like maybe familiarize yourself and remind yourself of what Star Wars like was I'm sure that a lot of the people who have watched a soaker and liked it actually do rewatch the the OT because like the OT is something that is rewatchable I think they do I'm not sure I don't think they rewatch these shows though oh oh oh I honestly because I feel like being a fan of Star Wars to that degree doesn't even involve the OT at that point I think they just live off their memories of the OT and they're like yeah it's great it's amazing it's wonderful but they don't like watch it you know I don't think they really do you know something sometimes
