It's a little bit switched up because we're gonna start it off with Ryan who prepared an opening statement because that's just how high tea is. I am. So hyped stuffs her bra Chewbacca's daughter last night was nuts last night was crazy. Okay for let me just take a little Drake & Josh quote here. Ladies and gentlemen, I am not an emotional man, but last night Night promotional talking Mandalorian chapter 3 having a bit of a Kyle Brandt moment. Here you for a long time Star Wars has been like it's been a really divisive fandom mostly positive. But there's always been a few doubters. There's always been a few, you know, negative thoughts whether it's the new movies the animated TV shows and we've been hyped for this series Mandalorian for so long and the first two episodes are like there were good. I'm sold. I'm watching but like what do you got enough of the baby Yoda memes. I love them enough of the of the amazing trailers. TV spots the concept art. What's the story last night? We got the story it delivered. It was awesome. And you might notice the bags under my eyes. That's because I was up so late because my heart rate was beating at 300 beats per minute. I couldn't fall asleep. The last time I was this excited was February for 2018 when the Eagles won the Super Bowl. That's how awesome this episode was Mandalorian chapter 3 and shout out to MVP different Chao first woman and a person of Asian descent to direct a Star Wars live-action piece of material. She killed it. We're gonna talk about her later. This was so special and you know what? Let me tell you this all the haters out there cancel the Emmys because we know who's winning. Okay, don't even resurrect. Don't even book a reservation for the venue. We know what's going on and you know, dear haters for all those that just don't they did they don't like the new Star Wars content Disney can't do it the Disney doubters. Big did it last night? Okay, and there's the Mandalorian set. This is the wedding. All right. This show is the way this is try to follow that but seriously, give me your love this but that was amazing. I'm really sweating. Thank you, Ryan. He or she I can see it for anyone who can't see it on camera. She absolutely is that was incredible. I could not stop laughing. Yeah, I can't follow that so I'm just gonna say I loved this episode so much. Like I literally stopped watching. I got up early. I got up at like 6:00 a.m. To watch this episode because like I can't stay up late anymore because I get up so early but I got up at 6 a.m. To watch this episode. I'm like watching it with my husband is getting ready for work. And as soon as it's done, I'm just like I said out loud to a roomful of no one. It's just me. I'm like, I can't have time to watch it again. If I didn't have to write my script for Marvel News Daily which will be up today. If I didn't have to write that script. I would have just watched it again. It was it was just so so it was so good. This is just exactly what I wanted. The first two episodes were amazing, but it was building they did a great job of setting the story up a building. They gave us a couple of good reveals and then they just jump in with this and also might I add my prediction from last week was correct. Which I'm like I'm like, oh my God. I wish I never get those right I was all right, but you're right which one that the he was going to hands baby Yoda in and then change his mind and go back for him, which he did. He really did that. He's just so good. Yeah, I gave him too much credit. I thought that part at the beginning, but well, let me get all that sweet metal. And now that I've taken it and given it to my people now, I'm gonna go and take baby Yoda, but I actually thought that the pacing was great in this episode because Last episode it was basically Mando Nick Nolte, you know hanging out with a bunch of Jawas which was great. But this like, you know, definitely put it into another gear and I feel like we're already, you know from episode 4 all the way through to the end. I think we're going to probably maintain this this sort of accelerated Pace from like the middle of this episode on word because everybody's it's not like people are looking for him anymore, you know, so I thought it was great a lot of cool little things that we got to see along the way and I really I really there's something that we'll talk about that. I've kind of always wanted to see ever since the first time we ever saw Boba Fett. So yeah, I thought that this was great. I think that I'm going to Envy anybody who for whatever reason doesn't watch this show until after all eight episodes are up because the fact that they can just go and watch the whole thing. It'll only take about three and a half hours, but they'll be able to go all the way through and it'll take about four hours and 20 minutes but still it's a bit just to not have to like because now I'm like, huh? Wait till next Friday. By the way, I can watch us next Friday. It's Thanksgiving. And there's you know, we have two thanksgivings for my phone. Probably thought absolutely family. You don't know what's going on. But let me tell you your join you right now right here. I I tried to say to my son fix you a shirt with Yoda on it, right? That's what he got. Six kids. Don't let me get into it obsessed with them. Not more than baby. It doesn't say almost closed. I will say speaking of runtime people in the car. Hence last week. We got some haters sure you love you. Love you so much. But this is what I'm talking about. This wasn't 45 minutes, which is kind of what we were talking. What we were hoping for. It was 37 minutes and -5 for opening credits ending credits, and it was amazing. I mean, this is I have zero complaints about the time it told whatever story you needed to tell for this episode absolutely perfectly and I am so obsessed with Mando like and I was saying it one of my notes to quote. Please do not come at Mando like he's the same man know from chapter one. He's got a higher place. All right, he has new armor and he's ready to just destroy. All right, I love them. Ryan quotes Drake and Josh and I quote drink and somehow we're like best friends. It's the weirdest weirdest. Hello. Okay, let's get into the delivery of the bounty. Oh so good so so much tension in this scene and we got a little bit more information about the client in there. I just love the Curiosity that I have between him and we find out more when Mando returns and we hear there's someone higher than him, but what did you guys think about that scene where he delivers delivers a baby Oda 50 50 50 year old baby. Okay, but he Woo's in you know, he's adorable. I think I really like this seen a lot one worry I've had with this show is you know, the protagonist we don't see his face. And it's hard to convey a lot with a characters feeling when you can actually see an actor details and their performance. So it's just a lot of subtle body movements and there's only so much you can convey with that. I was surprised how much to worked in this scene. You know, he obviously he's a little hesitant to drop off the baby and right after he takes his reward he stops and asks, like what are your plans to do with it? I thought that I was surprised how well that worked because on paper. I really don't think it would have If I did I wouldn't have bought that it would work. So that that scene was really awesome to me. It was great to go back into the room Werner Herzog awesome performance. Oh my God. She is so good everything. He says it's just so eat and I always talk about this with Game of Thrones in Star Wars to the characters because it's so based in fantasy and sci-fi. It can easily be cheesy but we have to have actors like him it is so I'm like, all right. This is serious this client like I'm not My Pam, yeah, he has a very air of being like evil even though you don't know that he is but you know that he is like he just does a great job of portraying I'm like oof. I don't know about this guy. He's the best kind of evil that you see in Star Wars which to me is not the emperor. But Senator Palpatine who's just always like, oh, I can't believe that I've now been elected right? No idea this was going to happen and he just started like that whole way that he plays everything or is just like, you know, he's like, oh, yeah, this is exactly What I wanted so the suddenly I could see that Ryan Ryan should take a look as well that Jeff had a little photo that he showed to her audience. Yes. I was a little little baby out a look at you. Yeah, I really do think it was an awesome scene and you know, you just know after he drops off baby Yoda and he's being taken away to another room you like he's gotta go back from and it was that whole it's that whole idea like he's going back he gets the new armor and like wow man was really feeling himself. It worried about baby yodeling. What are they gonna do to him? Let's talk about that when he delivers him in there instantly testing him. It kind of gave me this throwback to when Anakin was being tested for his midi-chlorian like numbers. Yeah, so I don't know I think it was different but it was I'm curious what your thoughts on what they were looking for. They said he was healthy. Was it to see if he was for sensitive? Well, what do you think? I mean? Yeah, that's what I'm assuming. I mean that's what all the fuss is about that. They wanted him is because a he's for sensitive and not just just a little bit for sensitive where he has to learn his power. I mean he is so powerful and they must know something and I'm thinking it's something along those lines but Amanda over here as you know, when he's using his little cool infrared helmet. Yes is that they're extracting something from him. So many Koreans would make sense. There could be something else but I think that your whatever they're interested in Werner Herzog was just like yeah, just you know, you have to dispose of it when you're done and the doctor whose name. I've already forgotten but he doctor Pershing thank you Duncan Pershing. He says that well that wasn't what they asked for. So whoever the answer to wants us thing alive when her legs like this is too much of a headache. Let's get rid of this thing. So I thought that doing a little stealth Recon I think was good because yeah, he does barge in guns a-blazing but he kind of figured some things out first and you get to see the cracks in the Bounty Hunter code. Yeah referee asks. Hey, what are your plans for it using melee? Like what do you say? I gave you your money. Get out. What the heck in you're breaking your code. Yeah, and it's he's definitely not supposed to be emotionally attached to this baby, which we've seen happen and you're right. He does a fantastic job of without seeing his face the hesitation in his movement. You really see that and what I also really liked about that scene when he's giving baby Yoda away. He also shows it when first of all the Stormtrooper grabs baby odors these, you know, Carriage Meats like easy with that like cheese, but I also really like the way that they managed to Tre baby Yoda, like I really think he understood what was going on. He the looks that he was giving and just how they portray a motion with his ears. It looks like he's like, oh this this isn't good. He's giving me away and the I thought that that I was that I liked this guy, but maybe you know what I mean? Like they showed they did a good job of I think showing that with baby yoda-like where he I think he's very aware of what's Happening as the switch is being made. He gives that sort of last longing look at me. They're like, oh, okay. Okay, this is how it is. All right, I really thought we were Bros member house and your life. All right. So, you know, I think when he sees him again, he's like Alright, I did have a good feeling about yeah, so but yeah the he's very expressive and just you know, some really minor sounds or whatever and then it makes you wonder did it take you out of more than fifty to a hundred years to learn how to talk. You know, was he like this when he was that little is that what he'd speaks mixed up backwards language because it's a it's hard to you know, put it all together. These are all things that I was wondering as I was watching speaking of Mando and baby Yoda two characters in our main characters. I can't really Express themselves on the way other characters can one as a Redskin ones maybe a baby OTA. I think we have to give credit and only to Deborah Chow in the directing of this but the sound design the concept edit and I mean it was done. So it was so well done and you can't really do that. Like Ryan was saying written it must have been like, how are we And I do this, how are we going to make people fall in love with these two characters the way that we have I mean baby Yoda broke the internet. Well, yes. It's the way you shoot it too. I mean, they're the cinematography this episode and all the episodes so far, but really this episode there was a sense of longing every time look baby. OTA was leaving screen or being taken away like that. Not only through with just how he looked but it's going to another room it's over man to shoulder and you know, just the idea that everyone is in the background is boredom and I was just kind of like okay, I'm always in trouble. There's the sense of danger through how this episode is shot. And and also when you introduce the new characters, especially after he gets that money realized this is gold. It's just little metal bars that were not we've only had one episode and seeing like, oh it can make a shoulder pad. Yeah, but when you saw the whole stack like wow that and the client that's when he said something like finding the best car is easier than finding a Mandalorian. Did you what do you think of that line? Well shade. Yeah, it's more like, you know, you got this, you know, I think there's your people are on the run for a reason, you know, don't do anything to you know, really put yourself back underground. Basically, I think is what he was saying when I wanted to backtrack to was as he's walking from a ship before he gets to the client and the you know, the little stroller thing is open. Everybody can see baby Yoda, and that just tells you like how confident Mando is as he evidence as he gave us evidence in the Episode well deserved but he's just like it one. Why don't you go ahead and try and take this like this thing that people are looking for throughout the Galaxy that everyone on that planet had been given one of those fobs to try and find it and he's got it there in broad daylight. You know, anybody could just come to try and take him like well, I'm gonna go bring it to the client now and he was like, right there was no one tries impressive because I don't know. I think you probably would have something as high-profile as that. You think he would have hit it or something, but now I just like it baby Yoda check him out. I got it. Yeah, it's true because since there has been the fall of the Empire. We are in an area in time where there's kind of lawlessness going on. And so that is an interesting point. But I did the question that I got during these scenes is how did the client survive the fall of them higher well and button to that point to they talk about there's a part where he says report them to the new Republic then and Mando actually says that's a joke. So it seems like there's just isn't anything. - that's like solid enough to sort of have any of these like rules or laws or anything. So it is kind of Lawless. They don't want Wes. Yeah, it's really post-civil war and everything still trying is getting reconstructed. Right? Nothing is set nothing's in stone. So it really is such an awesome Western like this is maybe the most Western Star Wars is ever been I really was digging the score in this season. Is that episode as well? Like I think it continues to get better. Yeah. I was gonna say that Ludwig props to you, man. To you. I do want to just shout out you guys in the chat right. Now, if you're watching us hit that like button hit that like button right now. Also leave us a comment after we finish our discussion so we can keep the conversation going if you're listening to us on Apple podcast. Hello podcast listener. We love you to make sure to give us those five stars leave us a review because we also love to chat it up there as well. Just want to shout you out much love Star Wars fan. So let's get into the delay the the change of heart because my God God, wow, I change of heart. Why don't you start because this was your prediction? Yes. I am. I just had a feeling because he's got that code of honor and I just had a feeling that he was to be like no I'm going through with this the me like what did I do? And I love the moment where he really makes up his mind that he's gonna do it when he notices the knob that baby Yoda had taken off his plane went off and he looks at it and he just has that moment of like I can't do this. I have to go back and you just it says so much. It can't move. I love that moment. I love that moment. So that's one of the questions that we have is what kind of man is the Mandalorian right not I think answers a lot of that. Absolutely you saying he put the man in Mandalorian. Is that what you're trying to that's the moment where you realize that the episodes called the sin because he's like, what did I do? No, it's like I really I really want that armor. But you know, I knew this was wrong, you know, the whole flight walking and praising him through the streets and they actually hand over but I think that you know it just that realization and of course you kind of knew he's like Alright getting ready to go. I'm like sure you are where you're going to go catch Admiral ackbar's little brother and but just like him turn it off the ship. You're like, yep, and that's why I love to live whatever reference before him like staking the place out. And of course he The little floating stroller there in the dumpster out back and that was heartbreaking hard part out because I'm like, I still want that that was such a great visual. We I saw it coming too. I mean you predicted it from last week, which I didn't see coming but from the being episode you like. Oh, he's going back. Yeah. I just love the way they did it. I love that little piece in the ship. Like that is a believable piece of detail for him to go back and this is after you know change of heart. You also had a change of armor or replace all this armor, and he's just looking fly. He's attracted to someone who you've never actually seen is that we have no idea what? No idea some of it but I meant yes. Oh my gosh, and I do want to get into the Armory and we'll talk more about the mandalorians as a whole but I think the armor is essential to the scenes that follow and we have where he goes back with the best car to build this new armor. And I love that. The signaling birds are the sigma or Sigma Signet cygnets. Yeah. It's just like a beautiful moment that shows the Deep culture that's embedded in everything that the Koreans do and the scene when he's like coming back and he decides he has a change of heart and I was like, oh like he just knocks talented. He's just sniping everyone. What did you guys think about that scene? Because that's when I was like I texted you. This is a movie. It's a movie. It's a movie. It's that good of quality. Why has so great is that he's like I got rope. I got a blowtorch. I got a couple of blasters and oh, by the way, I've got a little mini heat-seeking missiles at I'm going to take you all. If I need to lose more friends, that was amazing because I also like sort of the the reality of like, oh, yeah. I've been using the flame a little too much now. I'm out, you know, so I thought that that that was a nice touch to the you know that you know at some point in its like a western the fact that like their guns never run out, you know, you like okay at some point is going to run out of bullets and I started like that now he's mad and oh, so he's got plenty of other ways to go about doing things. But that scene in particular it just reminds you just that It doesn't matter which era of Star Wars a story is set the Stormtroopers are always garbage. Yeah. Yeah. Worst part of the reason why those on YouTube I wore when I said I enjoyed says it says I had friends on that death star has a he has a tear the probably gone you okay? Probably they're gone. Yeah and just like you look at this is it you can't have enough Stormtroopers because it's always like yeah now they're all going to get killed every single one of them, but it does So really showcased his skill level as well like he's so tactical about it and he knows exactly what he's doing. And even when he gets surrounded like you said those heat-seeking. I mean though that was just fantastic. I was like just when you think you know everything about him, he pulls something else out like out-out from his sleeves. Yeah, they are just like how so cool. I just reading one of my notes and when he has baby Yoda, and I was like first of all take you out with the fucking baby. It was dope. Take you all out one hand and then all the way to when he decides to go back you do learn a lot more about the culture and religion while he's delivering those pieces those little metal chips the crafter. I think I'll call our it she asked. Okay. Well, would you kill was it a noble kill and he goes now was the noble kill enemy help to just didn't know it was my enemy. So he's even realizing Okay that Bounty wasn't my enemy like that was just a job and He does care so it all kind of connects even on a more moral level for him as to why he goes back for baby Yoda, and it's interesting to think that it is a sin that he does deliver the armor, even though that that's going to help the future the future mandalorians and that's what they kept referencing like. Oh, we're going to save a bunch of these for the kids and coming up the foundlings. Let me tell winter is actually from my notes. I was inspired to write. Zia sees it right now. I believe the foundlings are our future teach them well and let them lead the way yes, so I will I would have broken out into song but I was watching it by myself and that's what have been that much fun. There's just so much to anyone Rich mythology. I don't want this put throughout this entire up. Yeah. I really am interested in the mandalorians. It's a whole it's the first time I've considered converting religion. I just think it's such a strong story to tell because there is it's Like the the laws of war in terms of there's a lot of hypocrisy and I think that there is some to explore with the mandalorians because when you are a bounty hunter you deem people your enemies, but there's they're not. All right. I'm and I think you don't ask questions so that you don't know but that doesn't mean that they're not your hmm that your yeah, right. You just had that's your mark. So you have to sort of maybe put it in terms in your head of being there the enemy otherwise How else are you going to promotion what you're doing? Yeah, exactly. What did you think of so when he's getting that armored crafted and the other mandalorians come up and they're like really all these are imperial chips. What are you doing? What did you think of that sequence because by all accounts also the empire did something to them but in those flashbacks you see no it was the droid army that like gave him child trauma that took out is home. That was the that was like the separatist droid army. That wasn't really Stormtroopers. Thanks. It was interesting to hear the other mandalorians have some kind of Vendetta. Like I may not use those. I think they're referencing something more recent or else we will hopefully learn about which is not the droid army, but it's the actual you know, the Empire and what you know, how do you basically you know, what happened to the planet of Mandalore where they're all from? Why aren't they not there? What did The Empire do? You know? They probably took over the planet. We're like, okay, you're part of the Empire now and they probably a lot of them probably ran and hid It and they've stayed that way so I think that it has a lot more to do with the last few years before this than his flashback, but we had a good comment in the chat about that flashback, which is the chest say the chat was saying was it was a prediction which I know is a little ways off but was I'll find who to give credit to but the was like each time a flash what we see a little bit more and this time, you know, we saw that Droid as the door opened up. It was Christopher Cerf. And he says do you think that the next flashback will show a lifesaver go through that Droid? Yeah, that's and I was like, okay, we my prediction want to thank you for spoiling my prayer to him. Just kidding. That was definitely I definitely think that there he has some sort of connection to the force. So something happened where he has a little bit of an understanding or but then he didn't understand if we're to believe what he told Nick Nolte we're to believe that he didn't understand. What baby Yoda did he didn't understand the force? Yeah. I don't think he gets it. I Think he's aware that there's something more out. Maybe he just has a respect for Jedi Knights. As you know, what yes, you know with their fancy lightsaber. Yeah. Yeah, and he doesn't know that they actually use the force that is possible. He could have been saved by that. It was like, okay, let's go we're tracking devices are going out man goes completely like covered in every single section. And I'm just like how is he going to get out of this? But like he warned you guys in chapter 1 he likes these odd make sure likes these on don't tell me on that was John Wick ask, you know, you've ever seen a John Wood films in the end. The second one that like everyone's after you that was this episode. There's so many great nuggets planted early on and then call back Stephen when Carl Weathers is like everyone got a chip. Everyone's got a Tracker and then that comes back into play. Wow, I love just the even just that small detail of the fact that as soon as baby. Yoda is taken and moves somewhere else that all of the other trackers start going off again. It's not like oh these are done and everybody still has them so it's almost like they anticipated this and they knew it. We're going to have every Bounty Hunter on this every step of the way. There might be a chance that they get baby out and it gets taken again because this creature is in such high demand, but I I just love that scene because the gravity of the situation just It's you square in the chest were like, oh my God, he's going to have everyone on him. And there's a small part of you. That's like no. I know he's going to get out of it somewhere another it's just how he gets out of it. Right but it did look like for a moment where he's looking down at the baby Odo in there's a moment where he's it kind of seems like he thinks this is it I'm dying to protect and I was like, by the way, so talking about getting emotional actually started to like tear up a little bit when the rest of the mandalorians you came to rescue him. That was where I was laying out seam leaving up the look to baby Yoda and then only for him to look up. Yeah that happened. Yeah, and the way I saw that was baby. I was like, yeah, I mean, I guess if I have to and then he um, he's like, okay, actually I don't because I actually love the fact that he didn't just you know, he didn't just I don't know freeze everybody put them all up in the air, you know, any of the things that a Jedi could have done and that would that's what I was expecting. So when instead And we got when I reference to the top of the show, which is something I would have always wanted to see as a kid. It's Boba Fett was just one guy and what if instead you have like 30 Boba Fett's and all flying and shooting and I know it's the last line of the show, but I love that Mando was like I gotta get one of those. I'm like, yes. Oh home effect could always fly and you can't so come on. That's why yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he's got that super cool new armor. Now, he just needs a jetpack to go with it. He's on the speeder looking at Yoda like this is it man. Yeah and And and you probably just like give it up you're done and you just see a like it's some kind of missile in the background and then a bunch of jetpacks come up. I think I woke up everyone in the house. Yeah. I flipped could have a baby with a different species where I'm really considering so Steph. What do you mean if Don't come closer. We'll catch up. You can see if maybe Yoda are a representative of a species is on Tinder or something there might even be an app just for yeah, maybe there is yeah. There's a Yoda species out. What would you do for baby OTA? I would Jesus Christ and die unique Rusev crucified for me. There's nothing I wouldn't let me be clear. That's that's exactly I think it might be that sense of Abandonment. We don't know how that flashback. Yeah plays out, but it looked like his parents close the door explosion. Yeah, so she might have felt not abandoned, but he might have just lost the he didn't have anyone to grow up with and that maybe that's how he connects to this baby. Yeah, absolutely. So We think so. I had an amazing urgency. Oh my God. Yes such a good scene. It was so well done. It really felt like move it felt like Rogue one. Seriously. It was so well done. Almost better though. Yeah Steph. I almost better because the mandalorians just like flying I have to watch her ago on again before I can make the cause. That was my favorite of all of the results are worth a little bit of a happier ending much heat just a little bit. So the interesting thing there and I was wondering what you all thought. That was why the change of heart so they talk about, you know, their tradition their culture being underground the fact that there should only be one so why do they think that this cause that he didn't talk to them about so why are they all so invested in this now that they're like, we're going to help you do this because we know this is right because absolutely he's in the right for what he's doing but the fact that they all decided to help him without it. He didn't ask for their help. Yeah. I thought I thought was interesting and I just didn't know. What any of you thought about that? I mean, I feel like part of it comes from their culture and how important the foundlings and the Youth of the mandalorians are just in their culture and for the future and maybe that's just such a like they value children so much that they were you know, thinking oh my God, first of all, they don't because there's must be a big significance behind this baby O2 because of the crazy demand for either his death or his capture whichever it is depending on who wants to do what and I think maybe a combination of that and just they're culturally being like this is a child. We can't in good conscience. Let it get taken or killed. Plus. This is our you know Mandalorian brother or you know, whatever term they use that needs our help and maybe that was part of it. I mean we can only guess I wasn't yeah honor and I think they respected how much he when they confront him while he's getting his armor and he's like no this is the way I know we're using the Imperial money. This is the way I really think he says that the end I loved ones like this is the way they're on board. They're like my Sam. I people very Samurai. Is there something very similar about them. I mean, yeah, you have that cool. Like I don't know tuning fork, whatever you want to call that like Pitchfork thing people, which is amazing. Oh my God, I want Carl Weathers was like that's pretty important ding ding. It was which that's another thing that goes back because when you first see Boba Fett, he's animated in the Star Wars Christmas Special which Ryan hates but the first thing we were seeing and he has that and you don't really see him with it in the movies with that that tuning fork. I don't know what to call it. It just a disintegrator in my head. It's a design a greater. Yeah, and you know, so I just think it's great that he has it. I mean some of the expanded universe stuff you do see mandalorians with those so I'm glad that he he's never without it really so so I thought to actually see that he's clearly made some modifications to it, but he doesn't have a jetpack is very impressive, but he does get out and vote. Or he does and before he sees the jetpack, we see grief carga try one more time. And I thought he was dead. I'm glad he stopped because I think he's going to be an important part of the show moving forward how much I don't think he's going to be the villain but I definitely think he's going to be helpful to the villains. What a story he tries to he tries to help Mando in his own way. He's like put it on the speeder and we'll talk about it. You know, he's not he doesn't he's inside. We're going to shoot you right now, you know, he wants to help him in some way but he's still got his other agenda. So I think he's a little conflicted in his own way. I don't think he's particularly one thing now that he got shot. He still different. It's just like kind of had this though that's are still save him. Yeah, what was neat about that? It was yet another sequence where something they they show us early on which was the Carbonite freezing in the first episode on his ship comes into play here. Again. It's another scenario. Like, how is he gonna get out of this and the people plates of him pulling it out in Bar in the yeah the detail here to be able to do that in a story without you going like okay, we're going to see that later. Yeah seen something that is in an otherwise good movie or TV show and something is there just a little too heavy handed with showing great Point did that so well in this the fobs and the best car or armor of the little palette. I thought that it was great because you would legitimately be able to be surprised. You know, I didn't need to see him pull it out. I was like, what do you open it? Sighs I'm like, hello. I know what he's got. Yeah, it was right there that Action Jackson. You can't keep that crazy gives them a little ball at the end like they're flying away. He's like, yeah, it just doesn't get any better. It can't and I was telling stuff this before the show this whole like I mean baby Yoda broke the internet and I was watching this streamer play the new Star Wars game and he was talking about it because he's a big fan. He loves the show and everything and even he's like a 34 year old man. Who's like a dude? Dude was like baby. Yoda is the cutest thing I've ever seen like, he's just can't like you can't Universal its Universal. There's no way around it. It's just adorable and he's that moment is like the pop culture Jesus like there was a culture War. You just need to float baby your damn business stop. My preference is to our Lord and savior today. I know. Reaction to baby. Yes. He brought the tears onset. Yes just is like the brutal German Oscar winner who once said that the universe is monstrously indifferent to the presence of man. Did the grizzly bear? Yeah little tiny tip. When you watch the credits. Then the international credit start German credits Werner Herzog. He actually does the German was kind of nice. I do feel really bad for your Possibly that they can't see this show that sucks. It sucks. It sucks because you can't control the internet but I do want to wrap this up before segments on just the Mandalorian. There's a few quotes that I wrote down that our secrecy is our survival our survivals our strength the Empire's no longer best guards return When one chooses the walk to Walk The Way of the Mandalore you are both Hunter and prey. So how much do you think this is like now that they're kind of combined and become more united than ever in a Sense, where do you think we're moving forward with the mandalorians? I think we gotta move forward. They're going to show us more of the lore. You know, there's they highlight a lot of the mandalorians backstory in the animated shows Dave filoni did like Star Wars Clone Wars even in a lot more in Rebels as well. But there is this big gap and throughout the whole original trilogy and then the few years between Return of the Jedi and the show and a lot has happened. So I really do think we're going to get more and more mythology more and more history of what has happened. Why they're underground here and just the details of all that and I'm very curious to see if they had actually to bring Boba Fett back in to some level. He's dead. Yeah Dante confirmed that he died and and then I was just like no you gotta eat anything burped it digested but it's a great but it's a digestive for like a thousand years. So it's true. No, it's a great it's so interesting. Because up until now the one quote unquote mythology background other than or not mythology religious background. Other than like Sith has been Jedi and now we're getting Mandalorian. That's just as if not more Rich than Jedi how I'm so excited. Yeah. I'm really excited about this special segment though. Yes, we got some director highlights, you know, they only have six directors on board for all Eight Episodes this season and each of them are special in their own, right so today and we've been talking about are all We're highlighting Deborah. Ciao. Incredible director. SHI. I'm just gonna go down her list right now because she is probably the best resume of any TV some respect her name first off. She did a film to the 2010 called The High Cost of Living with Zach Braff really underrated indeed. This was fresh out of college. That's so rare right out of grad school. You complete a major feature film with an actor like Zach Braff that just shows how she can relate to these people and just get people on board with her project because he just As a personality she's done so many incredible episodes of Television for multiple networks. A lot of TV directors. It's unlike film you kind of get stuck with maybe one network you you meet people here and there and you might stick with like a CW or stick with an HBO, which is great. She's been all over the map in the best of ways. She did CW Beast Beauty and the Beast episodes USA. Mr. Robot Vampire Diaries AMC's turn Tyrant Iron Fist for god sakes six episodes of rain Fear The Walking Dead Jessica Jones on. Snowfall Better Call Saul which is one of the best episodes. She's done. It substance called something stupid. There is a 10.10. I think it's an eight minute opening sequence where half the screen is split and it shows just visually a relationship dissolving with either side in each character and unpack the frames. It's amazing better call saw the EPS is called something stupid. Yeah. No. I she did that episode. She's baller. I did the after show. I was reading the chat and I totally meant as a great that sounds familiar it is so well done. One the that episode of Better Call Saul is from the most recent season. Yeah, the most recent one. Yeah. So yeah, it's so creative and that is a director stamp on an episode which is again, it's really hard to do that in TV TV is more of a producer and Writer's medium and that you kind of you're a director for hire. Yeah, and the fact that she is so talented that she can not only add her stamp on there, but do it in a creative way that enhances everything else is so amazing. She's also done American Gods episodes from Amanda High castle and the new season of World and Mandalorian. I mean this is this was this is knock the doors off this show. This is what every Star Wars fans to waiting for. So shout out to Deborah ciao such an increase. She's from Canada went to school in New York NY you she's Columbia. She's so talented. Let's let's call it right now. She's gonna direct either a Star Wars but more likely a Marvel movie guarantee, right? So she's also the Civil one last thing for the island. She has been tapped to do episodes for the upcoming Obi-Wan series great and she also has one more episode for this season of the mandalorians episode 7 stay tuned for more Deborah. Shout. Shout out to you and congratulations. I'm so excited. I'm angry. I see her doing Marvel movie. Yeah, that's usually how it kind of works. You know, it's just like, oh you did this TV thing Alan Taylor. Yeah. Yeah and you know, just a lot of you look at a lot of their directors and writers a lot of them come from TV. And then this is just a great showcase like well, yeah, we have to you know work with her on a bigger scale is such a great point so much. TV now is becoming so like stuff you said this is like a movie. It's becoming so cinematic that it's almost like they're doing they're not doing TV. They're doing miniature movies a hundred percent movie check out this tweet up here Jeff Scott. It actually looks like she's using the force to direct. This is such a badass Jeff. You're absolutely right with all of us. It is one of the few times in Star Wars fandom history where it's a you Universal hell yes. Hell, yes. We love you. Yes, so dope as many of you know, people are going to eventually be like man, but you haven't heard it yet. Yeah surprising thing. Yeah, because usually like, you know opening day of a movie regardless of what it is. There's going to be some people that baby out. It's he freely that home run. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh my God something. National or segments called WTF OK what the force because there are some people we love baby Yoda all of us. There are some people who couldn't keep their love inside and had to immediately go on the internet less than 24 hours and post pictures of it and I feel for the majan if you watch this show and you knew that inside that thing was a baby Yoda, it would not have been that's good. Oh, there are like the show didn't Premiere in Australia until this week. And as you referenced f it won't be in Europe until like March. All right, that's kind of on the high way to March. I wouldn't ask you what but like who had time to watch it except us and he's everywhere but Ira but I love the baby out of me, but I know my dad lives in Australia. No, I've never been red for Filth like this. Uh posted pictures of baby. You didn't like the first day 24 hours. You're not the only ones so it's not really just about 24 hours. I thought you know what screw all that small talk but can't say anything because I retweeted your Tweet stuff and I was like, I want to retweet it. But that's why I direct message them to you guys. I don't cry use the force watch it that way. Unfortunately, we do have to wrap thank you so much for that shade, but let's get this look like one light and one line prediction is starting with the shades Master himself. I was wrong. I predicted it for this episode. We have to get a space battle Yeah, like now he's left the planet. Everybody's coming for him. I think we have to get a space battle on the show and I think it's next week. Like it doesn't have to be all show but I think it's got to be early in the episode because first of all, where's he going? Right right doesn't he doesn't To take this thing to so wherever he goes people are going to be hot on the trail and whatever's left of the Empire. They're like, yeah. This is a pretty pretty high level operation. We were running that we gave you a ton of those little pallets for so yeah, we want that thing back. So I'm predicting space battle. All right, I'm definitely predicting that next episode. We're going to get one of these bounty hunters or assassins like ming-na Wen or Gina Carano or I also have a feeling Bill Burr is going to be in that character. Actor I think we're going to get that role. I think we're going to get one of those characters in The Next Episode and that's going to be like the big there's now these high-level assassins are going to be coming after him. I that this is kind of cheating but in that interview with all the directors last week, they had Bryce Dallas Howard on stage and she gets you upset Force. She's next week. She did mention that she introduces Gina Carano as character designer show so I'm really I think we're gonna get a new planet. I predict we're going to get new allies for Mandel and I also predict we're going to get I don't I'm not thinking space battle. I'm thinking I'm thinking just more in Pursuit. It's more run away. Now, that's how this was more confrontational western-style standoff. I think this is going to be we're chasing you now, it's going to look at Chase. Yeah, please film. Yeah. Okay, I think new enemies new allies and one and I think going to get a flashback every episode now because we kind of stayed on that track which I love and I think that we're going to find out that a Jedi did get him get him. Could it be a Jedi that we know perhaps Christian this window perhaps so we won't be here for Thanksgiving. We will try to do something. We'll let you know when to see the Epley. Well, yeah, I was trying to figure it out and Brianna who works here. Should we hadn't quite bravery as her a break? Britain has not figured. Yeah, that's that's amazing.
