0:48

Sessions skeleton crew. Recap. My

0:51

name is Matt Hudson, aka

0:53

Jabber the HUD. And joining

0:55

me here is ever in

0:57

the cockpit of the Onyxinder,

0:59

he is the greatest Star

1:01

Wars man, fan and buddy

1:03

out there, it's Luke Bly,

1:05

Master Blywalker, how are you

1:07

sir? Oi, oi, Saviloy, we're

1:09

here, I can't believe it,

1:11

it's the skeleton crew, finale,

1:13

see recap, mate. Unbelievable. Maybe

1:16

ever. Maybe ever? Maybe ever,

1:18

and we'll get into that, will

1:20

there be a season two? Does

1:22

this story even need a season

1:24

two? I don't know, I don't, I

1:26

don't, I'm not, I'm not, I

1:28

don't think so, I don't think

1:31

we need a season two, I

1:33

think the story's been told, you

1:35

know what I mean? Forty minutes,

1:37

it clocked in at mate, 40

1:39

minutes ish. At first, I'll level with

1:41

you, I thought it was a

1:43

bit short. from the run time.

1:46

That was my immediate impression. I

1:48

was like, well that's a bit short

1:50

mate. Could have been a bit longer.

1:52

Because I was hoping, oh come on

1:54

45, 50 minutes, I know we're talking

1:56

about minutes difference here. But still, I

1:58

can't believe it. another Star Wars

2:00

series in the bag, mate. And

2:02

overall, I'm a happy bunny. I'm

2:04

a happy Star Wars geek, mate.

2:07

Yeah, you're a geek. I'm a

2:09

geek. We're all geeks. We love

2:11

it. Let's get into it then,

2:13

mate. If you haven't seen Skeleton

2:15

Crew episode 8, then please be

2:17

aware that we are going to

2:19

spoil every single part of this

2:21

episode. It's the season finale. You've

2:23

come to a recap. What do

2:25

you expect full? spoiler warning. Girls

2:27

2:29

not beat around the bush. Grab

2:31

a skeleton, broom, buckle up because

2:33

here we go. Episode 8, The

2:35

Real Good Guys. Like Luky Boy

2:37

said, clocks in at 42 minutes,

2:39

including credits, including recaps and introductions.

2:41

So about best part of 35

2:43

minutes, maybe the episode is directed

2:45

by John Watts, and it was

2:47

released. on the 14th of January

2:49

2025 in the States and the

2:51

15th of January 2025 here in

2:53

the good old United Kingdom. So

2:55

just for those who are also

2:57

new if you're joining now great

2:59

there's seven other recaps to listen

3:01

to check those out as well

3:03

we are going to be talking

3:05

about episode 8 today we are

3:07

going to be doing a kind

3:09

of review of this season overall

3:11

next week. Oh, this is just

3:13

about this episode. We might touch

3:15

upon, like Luky Boy said, do

3:17

we want a season too, but

3:19

we're going to do a proper

3:21

season evaluation shortly after this episode.

3:23

So hold your horses on that

3:25

one. But Luky Boy, you've said

3:27

you're pretty happy. Episode 8 then,

3:29

mate, we wanted it to stick

3:31

the landing. We wanted it to

3:33

just come in hot, do what

3:35

he needed to do, and ride

3:37

off into the sunset and not

3:39

drop the ball. Did it for

3:41

you? It stuck the landing real

3:43

good. Real good for me. Real

3:45

good. This show's been great. I

3:47

think it's been really consistent. Matt,

3:49

we saw a Star Wars microwave.

3:51

Microwave. I was

3:53

like, is she

3:55

a halogen oven

3:57

or a microwave?

3:59

I don't know,

4:01

but I loved

4:03

it. But

4:05

lasagna or mac cheese or

4:08

whatever was. I just thought

4:10

this episode was superb in

4:12

a lot of ways. The

4:14

acting, really good. The child

4:16

actors once again delivered in

4:18

an industry that's filled with

4:20

kiddos that are trying their

4:22

best, but they're child actors. Honestly,

4:26

the team that assembled this

4:28

show should be so proud

4:30

of the young talent that

4:32

they got because they all

4:35

were fantastic, fantastic.

4:37

And we get so

4:39

much emotion in this finale.

4:41

We get surprised. We

4:43

get a bit of background

4:45

on Jod. We get

4:47

mysteries that are short -lived and

4:50

kind of solved. You know,

4:52

Stephen Fry, you were right, mate,

4:54

was just the robot. That's

4:56

it. Just don't overthink it. Yeah,

4:58

that's basically it, Matt. That's

5:00

basically it with the skeleton crew.

5:02

Don't overthink it. Don't overthink

5:04

it. Simple show. And I tell

5:06

you what, mate, I kind of

5:09

like it. I kind of like

5:11

that. I think it's fun. It

5:13

kind of reminded me of iRobot.

5:15

You know iRobot? I do know

5:17

iRobot, yeah. And like

5:19

the AI in that takes over, doesn't

5:21

it? And it's like, yeah. So

5:24

it's kind of like that,

5:27

except Jod's trying to take

5:29

over. And, you know, there's

5:31

father, son, daddy issues and

5:33

solutions. And oh, go on.

5:35

But overall, how

5:39

did this fair for you, Mr. Hudson?

5:41

What were you thinking? Were you jumping

5:43

up in the air? Were you expecting

5:45

Mando to land and save the day? We

5:48

were expecting Carson Tiva to land and

5:50

save the day. Yeah, I know. Lo and

5:52

behold, he didn't. And they gave him

5:54

the mum for a cut from filming, which

5:56

is... I know. Listen, mate, it's great

5:58

news. We love Paul, but... It's great

6:00

news that new pilots for the

6:02

New Republic, there were no gratuitous

6:05

cameos or even necessary

6:07

or nice cameos. They let the

6:09

story and the character speak for

6:11

themselves. And I said last week,

6:13

I really hope that they do that

6:15

and they did. So I can't be

6:18

anything other than happy with this finale.

6:20

For me, they did stick the landing.

6:22

As ever, one or two things I

6:24

look at and think. Might mention,

6:26

probably mention you on the recap, we'll

6:28

pull you up on the recap. Oh,

6:31

but, um, nothing major though, but at the end

6:33

of the day, did, they, did the show do

6:35

I wanted it to do, which was, tell

6:37

its own story in a contained way of

6:40

out needing Mando to come in or without

6:42

Jod referring to a soccer as

6:44

to female Jedi, which I was terrified

6:46

for a minute that he was. It's

6:48

all its own little story and I

6:50

love it for that. Wait, hang on,

6:53

hang on, you thought the female Jedi

6:55

was going to be... Honestly, when he

6:57

said, when he said, when he said, yeah,

6:59

I was living in a hole and

7:01

hungry and then a Jedi family and

7:04

she was down in the dump like

7:06

me, I thought, don't you dare? Don't

7:08

you dare? And then he was

7:10

like, I actually got sliced up

7:12

by the inquisitors and I did,

7:14

it wasn't a soaker then. What

7:16

would you do if it was

7:18

a if it was a soaker?

7:21

Would you have flipped your table

7:23

and like... I would have, my

7:25

eyes would have rolled so hard

7:27

out of my head, it would

7:29

have needed, I would have needed

7:31

one of those vices as KB

7:33

has to be able to see

7:35

it. She makes you strong. She's

7:37

the main character in Martin Star Wars,

7:40

you know that man Hudson's sound. Yes,

7:42

I was so, I was honestly terrified,

7:44

but, and I don't care who the

7:46

Jedi was, leave them nameless for all

7:48

I care, it's just fun back story

7:51

and that's what this episode did. Yeah.

7:53

The things that were set up or

7:55

that weren't delivered paid off for, paid

7:57

off sorry, were things like whose tack

7:59

rendered. And in the Cold Life of

8:01

Day, who cares who Tack Rennid did,

8:04

he's just a pirate who had a

8:06

backstory, which we do or don't need

8:08

to know about that. But that's the

8:10

beauty of Star Wars, mate, is it's

8:12

just backstory and law and mystery.

8:15

But that's kind of what fantasy

8:17

is, isn't it? And when you

8:19

look back at a New Hope,

8:21

clone wars, as mentioned. Oh yeah,

8:23

me and your father fought in the

8:25

clone wars. Oh, what's that?

8:27

No one's going on there.

8:30

I want to, no kids,

8:32

wait till 2008. Wait till

8:34

2008. Or even 2003 or

8:37

2003. Tartakovsky. If you want

8:39

to. If you want to.

8:42

Why would Globe Wars? Wild.

8:44

Wild. Wild. Mace window. Punching

8:46

robots. I'm made for it.

8:49

Peak. Peak animation, lads.

8:51

Don't get better than

8:53

that. Well. Did it? I

8:55

don't know. Luke Sandefield

8:57

loves it. Yeah mate,

9:00

great fun. Great fun.

9:02

This episode, this episode

9:04

was just superb fun.

9:06

There were moments where

9:09

I was leaning toward

9:11

the television anticipating

9:15

every next move. It

9:17

just had me. And

9:19

I'm so happy it did because...

9:21

I kept reminding myself like oh

9:23

the galaxy is not a stake

9:26

here like this isn't this isn't

9:28

like the empire versus these guys

9:30

and the it's so much more

9:32

small it's so much smaller than

9:34

that and that's fine because that's

9:37

normal and I think for the

9:39

sort of story they were trying

9:41

to tell here which was a

9:43

local kids adventure that's what it

9:46

lent into listen would I have

9:48

been annoyed if there was a

9:50

cameo someone came in and saved

9:52

a day no not not necessarily

9:55

of course it comes down to

9:57

you know execution as it always

9:59

does. First mention, but

10:01

I don't know, I think

10:04

that would have made, if

10:06

I would have known there

10:08

was going to be a

10:10

cameo in someone coming in

10:12

and saving the day. I

10:15

would have been almost more

10:17

nervous to see how it

10:19

would have unfolded because we've

10:21

seen that already. We've seen

10:23

that in Mando season too

10:25

when Luke Skywalker turns up,

10:27

saves the day and it's

10:29

miraculous, it's phenomenal, it's superb.

10:32

So trying to top that, don't.

10:34

You know, you can't really, that's then

10:36

like... And I have a lot of

10:38

respect for John and Chris for almost

10:41

having, dare I tell, I don't know

10:43

what goes on behind the scenes maybe,

10:45

but dare I say, the discipline to

10:47

go, no, we're going to keep it a

10:50

contained story. Good for them. Good for

10:52

them. That's what I say, mate. that

10:54

I am 100% with you mate because you

10:56

could have had Mando turn up and it

10:59

would have been it would have been boss

11:01

we'd have all thought that's really cool yeah

11:03

to me the only thing that they could

11:05

have done to really rival Luke Skywalker in

11:07

in any way would be to have had

11:09

Han solo flying in that Han solo flying

11:12

in that big old hunker junk the Falcon

11:14

but that would make zero sense to

11:16

the story that why is the Falcon

11:18

why is Han of Han of all people I know

11:21

he used a han of people I know he's

11:23

Han of all Wow for me! But it

11:25

would have been, made less, much

11:27

less sense than Luke Skywalker, which

11:29

made perfect sense. Han, uh, would

11:31

be on the Halcyon legacy still,

11:33

with layer. You know, that was

11:36

years prior. You got your cannon

11:38

mixed up. No, they're still, they're

11:40

still there, they're still there. In

11:42

the store. Little Ben Solo is

11:44

just a little tadpole at this

11:46

point. Is he? I don't know

11:48

actually he'd be born wouldn't he? Yes,

11:51

yes he would have been born by

11:53

then he was born not long after

11:55

the Battle of Jaku I believe which

11:57

is a year or so after Endel.

11:59

Well apparently the... mix of all, uh,

12:01

mix them, mess that up, haven't they?

12:03

So, which one's great. The Battle for

12:05

Jarku ones. No, no, no, they haven't

12:07

messed any of that up, no, no.

12:09

That's all really. Yeah, I read the

12:11

latest one today. It's all, it's all,

12:13

it's all, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's,

12:15

it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's,

12:17

it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's,

12:20

it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's,

12:22

it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's,

12:24

it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's,

12:26

it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's,

12:28

it's, it's, it's, it's, recreating scenes

12:30

from other books and comics, they're

12:32

just talking around them, which is

12:35

great. Well, talking of fitting in with

12:37

Canon, and that's great to hear, by

12:39

the way, but talking of fitting in

12:42

with Canon and the larger story,

12:44

mythology of Star Wars, how do

12:46

you think this plays into it? You

12:48

know, what is the domino? How

12:50

does this affect the galaxy? Because

12:53

we were told verbatim by John

12:55

and Chris. that it's more about

12:57

how this affects the galaxy afterwards.

13:00

How does that work? Because I'm

13:02

not, I'm not, I'm not saying

13:04

I'm unhappy with that aspect,

13:06

but I thought it would

13:09

be more obvious what the

13:11

implications would be. And I was like,

13:13

is it going to hear post credit

13:15

or just like, I don't know,

13:17

some imperial walking up and like,

13:19

like, like, like, you're all or

13:21

something like. Maybe that would have

13:24

sucked, maybe that would have ruined

13:26

the magic. You can kind of

13:28

use your imagination maybe, but what

13:30

are those dominant effects that they

13:32

were talking about? I don't know.

13:34

Because I knew that was going

13:36

to come up, so I've written down

13:38

what like a hypothetical for me, so

13:40

that in is now out in the

13:42

open and the new republic aware of it.

13:44

So will they try and use the money or

13:46

will there be like a mold within the

13:49

new for the new republic, are they going

13:51

to leak this info to the first order?

13:53

It might not be this detail but the

13:55

first order to find out because

13:58

can you imagine the irony of The

14:00

kid's decision to expose this

14:02

planet being the catalyst for

14:04

the first order funding which eventually

14:07

destroys the New Republic

14:09

in episode 7. Yeah. Can you

14:11

imagine the irony in that being like,

14:13

oh man that decision which bought your

14:15

planet anti-open almost doomed

14:18

the galaxy doomed 30 odd years

14:20

later in the force awakens. That's

14:22

the only thing I can think of

14:24

mate. Jod was right. Basically. Yes.

14:27

And is that his name? Because

14:29

that's how he called

14:31

what he called himself

14:33

today. He said in

14:36

front of everybody he

14:38

said my name is Jod Yeah,

14:40

so do you think that's actually

14:43

his name? I think I've

14:45

said this before, so all

14:47

my Spotify playlists have names.

14:50

My main Spotify playlist is

14:52

on the kettle. My main

14:55

Spotify playlist is called Steve.

14:57

So I think I've said

15:00

this before, so all my

15:02

Spotify playlists have names.

15:04

No questions asked. No

15:07

questions needed. I see.

15:09

So if I'm like driving, I'm

15:11

like, oh Siri, can you play?

15:14

Steve, please. He goes, yeah,

15:16

all right. No, no. He's literally

15:18

called Matt's Music, which is genius.

15:21

Stinks in comparison. So

15:23

then I say, can you play Matt's

15:25

Music? And I should just

15:27

call it my music, should

15:29

not. Matt's Music. And it's,

15:31

it just starts playing, you

15:33

know, in dumb and dama,

15:36

when they're like, you know,

15:38

the most annoying sound in

15:40

the world? Yeah. Yeah. Stop

15:42

it, stop it! Star with

15:44

the chilies. Star with celebration,

15:46

Japan, that's going to be

15:48

us. I think we should

15:50

just turn it into Star

15:52

celebration, bracket, dumb and dama. But

15:55

then who's who? Which is which?

15:57

I don't want to call myself

15:59

dumb. you dumber? Harry and Lloyd

16:01

mate, we'll figure it out. I'm

16:03

sure. I'll go dumber. The people,

16:05

the people are loving this by

16:07

the way, they're here for it.

16:09

Well look, let's... Skelet and Crew.

16:11

I think that's his name, sorry,

16:14

just quickly, because he keeps calling

16:16

off Jod Narnarwood now. That's his

16:18

name. Yeah, that's what I thought.

16:20

The name thing, I'm like, yeah,

16:22

well he's clearly just a con

16:24

man, isn't, isn't he? Yeah, don't

16:26

overthink it lads. Again,

16:28

Skelly C, don't overthink

16:30

it. I did like

16:32

John in this episode.

16:34

I thought Jude Law was great

16:37

fun. Oh yeah. And you kind

16:39

of understand why he is the

16:41

way he is. I've got a

16:43

note down here. I think it's

16:46

toward the end. Where, let's

16:48

have a look. Yeah, right. So

16:50

whims like, oh, you're no Jedi.

16:52

And now the real good guys are

16:54

coming and Judd replies, oh when

16:56

I was your age, all I

16:58

cared about was not starving. He's

17:01

saying like mate, we're from completely

17:03

different backgrounds. Look at look around,

17:05

look at where you grew up,

17:07

you had a cushy, you had

17:09

a meal, you had meals, you

17:11

had a home, a dad who

17:13

loves you. Judd did not have

17:15

that. Now comparatively whim, you know,

17:17

isn't particularly happy, he's not got

17:19

the best relationship with his father,

17:21

right? It's all scales, it's all

17:23

context, and I thought that

17:25

was really interesting, that

17:27

Jod has basically been

17:29

broken down by the galaxy.

17:32

Yeah, like the world has

17:34

destroyed him, it's beaten

17:36

him, and that's why

17:38

he believes, well no

17:40

one's coming. Why would anyone come?

17:42

No one came for me. Yeah, a Jedi

17:44

when I was saved, it was quickly taken

17:47

away from me. So don't have hope, mate.

17:49

Yeah, and I don't, I don't think he's

17:51

quite the evil, you know, he's not Anakin,

17:54

is he, in revenge of the SIF, is

17:56

he? He's not. He just, he just believes

17:58

in looking after number one. By the

18:00

way, in our world, a lot of

18:02

people subscribe to and believe. They don't

18:04

believe in anything else. People don't say

18:07

out loud. No, no, no, of course

18:09

not. Not until that pushed into that

18:11

corner, which is what happened to Jod

18:13

in Skelet Inquiry, he's pushed into it.

18:15

Like, he keeps something, I don't want

18:17

to do this, I don't want to

18:20

hurt anyone, I don't want to blah

18:22

blah blah blah blah blah. And then

18:24

right at the end, and I'm skipping skipping.

18:26

Jub Jubil almost smiles when

18:29

he's looking out the window

18:31

and he sees the pirate ship go

18:34

down. And I think it's that

18:36

realization that, well, the good

18:38

guys did come to the rescue.

18:40

That's it. Yeah, that's like,

18:42

well, told you. Yeah, Wim was

18:45

right. And it's such a lovely

18:47

thread. And what happens, Wim looks

18:49

up and he's like, mate, the

18:51

good guy's kind of, I want to

18:54

be a good guy. Yeah, oh come

18:56

on mate. Beautiful. It's beautiful.

18:58

I loved it mate. I

19:00

loved it. It was great

19:02

fun. Swing, exshwings.

19:05

Boyings, boings, boings

19:07

as well. Swing! Yes

19:09

mate, you've been waiting to

19:11

say that haven't you? Maybe

19:14

all episode, maybe all season

19:16

again to fit in some

19:19

serious showing into our episode.

19:21

Oh yeah. Yes! Yes, you can

19:23

make that joke. Or boing, a

19:25

wings and a one, mate. Well,

19:27

boing, yeah, boing, boing, the action.

19:29

That's how I say it sometimes when

19:31

I talk too quickly. I'm going to

19:34

bring it. Yeah, no, mate, seeing the

19:36

boings in action, the B wings, man,

19:38

didn't they look good? They did. I

19:40

mean, to me, it's a Star Wars

19:43

Rebels reference to me, because they

19:45

were in rebels and they had those

19:47

wicked... lasers which meet in the middle and

19:49

that looked incredible. That was where I went

19:52

first. I don't know if you've seen them

19:54

in live action. I know we've seen them

19:56

in Rebels. I know they were in Star

19:58

Wars squadrons as well. I don't know about

20:00

live action, but not many people, squadrons

20:03

is a deep cut for many many

20:05

people out there, I'm aware of that,

20:07

but I mean it was a deep

20:09

cut among its, upon its release mate.

20:11

Yes, it's one of those things, I'd

20:13

love to go back and play, but

20:15

I also don't, you know what I

20:17

mean, I want to go back to

20:19

play, because we played it and we

20:21

had, you know, when we played together

20:23

one or two times, it was fun,

20:25

but was just because we played, I

20:27

was playing a mates. I think I

20:30

was like at the time I was

20:32

like yeah I think I'm just going

20:34

to stick to battle front. Pretty much

20:36

it wasn't I haven't thought about jumping

20:38

back in but seeing a B wings

20:40

in live action was great because I've

20:42

got a note saying any time X

20:44

wings arrive to save the day it's

20:46

just cool. Oh yeah. No one else

20:48

and I'm not going to be that

20:50

guy but no other franchise out there

20:52

can do this where they could you

20:54

just... you recycle the same thing which

20:56

is here some x-wing saving the day

20:59

but the design is so cool we

21:01

always get the cockpit shot of whoever

21:03

is flying it it's just a cool

21:05

visual and then to see the b-wings

21:07

flying behind them and a frigate later

21:09

on mate a new Republic frigate nonetheless

21:11

I was like this is this is

21:13

awesome but just on jod mate before

21:15

I forget about that yeah I you

21:17

know I owe myself from all the

21:19

listeners and apology because I said a

21:21

couple of episodes ago I said it's

21:23

clear what route we're going to go

21:25

down, we're going to get to the

21:28

end, the kid will be in trouble,

21:30

and Jod will have a change of

21:32

heart and he'll be saved today. He

21:34

did nothing of the sort in this

21:36

episode. Now I totally agree with you

21:38

mate. I don't think he is, he's

21:40

not a bad guy, but he certainly

21:42

isn't a good person. At heart maybe,

21:44

if you want to use that heart

21:46

of gold thing, maybe, because there are

21:48

the few moments in this episode. Firstly

21:50

he could have killed all of the

21:52

kids in cold blood I thought he

21:55

was going to at one point. Secondly

21:57

when the cinder goes down with KB.

21:59

on board. Despite

22:01

there not being any kind of explosion, they

22:04

thought she was dead. But

22:06

they cut to him and his head kind of went down

22:08

and you could see him looking a little

22:10

bit regretful in that moment. He didn't

22:12

want that to happen because deep down,

22:14

he doesn't want to hurt the kids.

22:16

Whether he likes the kids or not,

22:18

I think even, I mean, you

22:20

have to have no morals to be able

22:22

to say, yeah, I'm going to shoot these kids

22:24

in cold blood. However, what I mean is

22:26

he's not going to kill these children. He's

22:29

not going to do it regardless of how many

22:31

times he could have done and probably won the

22:33

fight. He wasn't going to do that and

22:35

he didn't want to hurt anyone. He said that himself. What

22:38

I took that as is he didn't want to hurt

22:40

any of them in that room. The

22:42

citizens are collateral damage, we've

22:44

tried not to, but I don't want

22:46

to hurt any of you. So when

22:48

he thought KB was gone, you could

22:50

see in his face, he looked regretful.

22:53

He looked a little bit despondent before snapping back.

22:55

And at the end, mate, that great shot

22:57

that you mentioned, when he's watching his ship,

23:01

his frigate go down, he's thought he was going

23:03

to plunder this planet. And actually he did

23:05

win. As captain, he did

23:07

find the planet and he did find the money.

23:09

So he kind of achieved the goal. But

23:11

then he sees the New Republic swooping in and

23:13

I went back to watch it. And as

23:15

he's looking up and kind of smiling, you

23:18

can see there's tears in his eyes. No.

23:21

Yeah. And I swear, because I went back and looked at

23:23

it. Am I just imagining that? But

23:25

you can see in the corner of his eyes as

23:27

well and up, unless anyone can prove me wrong.

23:29

But which made me think that he was kind of

23:31

like, yeah, the good guys have turned up and

23:33

maybe there is hope. Right. Or he's

23:35

like, or he was crying because

23:37

I got so far. Well, I'm

23:39

so far like Lincoln Park once

23:41

saying a bit of both, bit

23:44

of both, you know, better Lincoln

23:46

Park, bit of him. Yeah,

23:48

in the end, a bit of

23:50

him being a bad boy

23:52

and a bit of him probably

23:54

thinking yeah, finally, the good

23:56

guys turn up, you know, he's

23:58

probably not seen that his life since

24:00

that Jedi female, you know, picked him

24:02

up and went, oh, you're right, you're

24:04

rescued now, congratulations. And it was all

24:07

done by the power of the power

24:09

of love, the power of friendship, the

24:11

power of camaraderie and bonding and everything,

24:14

and trust, everything those kids had, which

24:16

he has never had. He kind of

24:18

witnessed it firsthand, even though it was

24:21

going against him, that this is what,

24:23

you know, powers can do if they banned

24:25

together and this is what good can look

24:27

like. I really liked that and I also

24:29

like that we found out just a bit

24:32

about his backstory and again I

24:34

don't need to know anymore because

24:36

he was just a he said it

24:38

himself I was just a hungry

24:40

orphan a Jedi found me who was

24:42

down in her luck so it's after

24:44

order 66 and then they hunted her

24:46

down and made me watch as they killed

24:49

her so she was killed by the inquisitors

24:51

that's yeah we need to know

24:53

and from then on he's adopted

24:55

this lifestyle to me mate that's

24:58

good enough but I don't if we

25:00

hear a name down the road sweet

25:02

but that's good enough well there's a

25:04

good chance that he escaped the inquisitors

25:08

when you think about it because

25:10

he's four sensitive he would have

25:12

been taken we can assume or

25:14

even maybe they tried to kill

25:16

him or taking him up as

25:18

an inquisitive part of that generation

25:20

and he escaped so Clearly, in

25:23

just a few lines, we've got

25:25

a lot of context about his

25:27

life and a lot of which

25:29

we don't necessarily need a series

25:32

for, we don't need filling in,

25:34

but we can use our imagination.

25:36

If you're aware of the Star

25:38

Wars law, or even if you're not,

25:40

you can take it at face value

25:42

and go, oh right, yeah, I get it.

25:45

Yeah, now that's great. That's really

25:47

good. I was still expecting

25:49

in this series and Order

25:51

66 flashback again. and it's like

25:53

we've had a lot of those now yeah and

25:55

it feels like that's just such a classic you

25:57

know like it is a bit of a gimmick

26:00

at times right? I've got a

26:02

bad feeling. Well with Grogu you

26:04

can kind of understand it right

26:06

but we've you know to go

26:08

through it again and you know

26:10

we've seen it in a bad

26:12

batch you know multiple multiple multiple

26:14

things right multiple styles properties yeah I'm

26:16

glad that we didn't we didn't need

26:18

that we didn't need that yeah I

26:20

mean from the supervisor but that's I

26:22

mean that's all we need to know

26:24

yeah yeah that's good enough. Supervisor,

26:27

oh Stephen Fry, yeah, like so what

26:29

do they do? They just like hook

26:31

him up to zoom and just go

26:33

right, say these lines up and just

26:35

yeah, and that's it really. So what?

26:37

Hook him up to X. Hook him

26:39

up to work because he gets all

26:41

of his news from there and just

26:44

chooses to ignore it. Oh. It does

26:46

answer, it does both the question though

26:48

mate because he says the last message

26:50

we got regarding the Jedi,

26:52

one of the last message we got

26:54

was that... all the Jedi were traitors

26:56

that was from the Republic. Yeah, right.

26:58

And that was what, 30 years ago

27:00

maybe or 25 years prior to this

27:03

now? So the Republic, did they send

27:05

him that? Or did they send that

27:07

to the planet at Attan? Are they

27:09

hooked into the Galactic Hollow Net? Does

27:11

that mean that the Republic

27:13

knew all about it all along

27:15

because they were sending emissaries? Was it

27:17

at Attan that hidden that hidden

27:20

to everyone? Did Palpatine know

27:22

about it? I found out later after

27:24

the episode. Does he know about it

27:26

mate? Because he's in exigole, isn't he?

27:29

He's got a return, isn't he? So,

27:31

but he's got to return somehow. But

27:33

mate, I really liked seeing the supervisor

27:35

being a droid because I firstly, because

27:37

I said it was going to, I know,

27:40

I found out later after the episode

27:42

that other people thought that, but you

27:44

know, don't worry about them. He heard

27:46

it here. Exactly. Exactly. Everything they say

27:48

something they say something with a nod,

27:51

it pays off. So when Jod says

27:53

it'd be better than speaking to another

27:55

droid, I think it's going to be

27:57

a droid, and it reminded me of

27:59

Hal from... 2001, the Space Odyssey,

28:01

just bits this red eye. Except

28:03

when he talks to the good guys,

28:05

his eye goes blue. And then when he

28:08

talks to Jod, it goes red because

28:10

he knows Jod is a naughty boy

28:12

and is lying. Well, Jod just stabs

28:14

him in the eye of Sauron,

28:16

doesn't he? So... Yeah, does I

28:18

see it? And again I wasn't

28:20

really expecting that. I'm like, oh

28:22

right, so he's a droid, five

28:24

minutes like ten, whatever minutes later,

28:26

oh, made saber, saber to the

28:28

eye, yet he is not surviving

28:30

that and all the droids go

28:32

down. That is... That is interesting, isn't

28:35

it? I do wonder about the

28:37

establishment of that society, of that

28:39

order, where did the droids come

28:41

from? Is it from Clone Wars

28:44

era and, you know, revenge or

28:46

a SIF? Does it predate that?

28:48

Were they independent? Probably not, because

28:50

I'm making Republic credits. There are

28:53

a lot of question marks around

28:55

that, around the background of that.

28:57

Why did the great work continue,

28:59

even though... Clearly the supervisor droid

29:01

knew that the Republic was no

29:04

more and all that. Why did

29:06

he just why did they keep

29:08

this Society going? Well the droid

29:10

is programmed to do that right?

29:12

I guess yeah, so he doesn't

29:14

have an imagination to go like

29:16

why wouldn't we do that because

29:18

that's what I'm programmed to do.

29:20

That's what and then everyone that's

29:22

what I'm thinking but I'm thinking

29:24

well what before that before that

29:26

what predates that's something that He's

29:28

suited probably more for a

29:30

comic book series or a

29:33

book, you know, the establishment

29:35

of at-at-in What about the

29:37

other planets the other at- at-

29:39

At- Don't at me. Yeah, it's

29:42

in. Yeah, exactly, exactly, yeah, no,

29:44

no, I liked it. I just

29:46

want to bring out, other than

29:48

Jod going for the eye of

29:51

Sauron, when everything starts to

29:53

go, do-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-down, we do

29:56

see, Jod. Pull out some life sober skills. Did

29:58

you notice that? I was like this guy. He's

30:00

seen someone use a lightsaber before,

30:02

right? So I liked that as

30:04

well. I love that they touched

30:06

upon it where they said, he

30:08

said about his Jedi master or

30:10

trainer, she taught me enough, or

30:12

I saw enough, or the little

30:14

would actually taught me, so it's

30:17

like he can do this with

30:19

the force and he can move

30:21

things. Yeah, he can't bring down

30:23

star destroyers and all that silly

30:25

silly stuff. He can't he can

30:27

put force push force pull pretty

30:29

much and will disable He wasn't

30:31

using mind tricks that I know

30:33

of so I quite like that

30:35

They set the parameters up and

30:38

they're like this is all he

30:40

can do Don't expect anything else

30:42

and I'm here for that. He

30:44

can't just do things on the

30:46

whim if you put on the

30:48

part. Yeah, oh, he's uh, uh,

30:50

come on mate. He's Jordan and

30:52

onward. He's not right. He's not

30:54

right Is he? You don't just

30:56

want to? You know how to

30:58

do stuff? No, no, no, no,

31:01

no, no, no, no, no, always.

31:03

Yeah, wood. No, thank you. That's

31:05

no disrespect on. No, well, this

31:07

last recap now. No disrespect on

31:09

Ray. No disrespect on Ray. I

31:11

understand her character. Wow, wow, wow,

31:13

wow, wow. Yeah, but anyway. I

31:15

love Ray. Me too. Genuinely. Me

31:17

too. And I know that sounds

31:19

sarcastic, but it ain't. It's just,

31:21

you would blow me a kiss

31:24

and he said, oh yeah, me

31:26

too, mate, really. Trust me, honestly,

31:28

it's just, it's just, my tone,

31:30

I'm being honest. The son and

31:32

father relationship between whim and whim's

31:34

dad, still don't know his name.

31:36

I know, I know he's not

31:38

name, Wendell. Wendell. Wim's dad, right?

31:40

Lovely, lovely, some really, really lovely

31:42

moments and actually coming from Wendell,

31:44

you know, like the moment where

31:47

they go over the jump and

31:49

he's probably not had that excitement

31:51

in decades, right? So that was

31:53

really, really cool, but I thought

31:55

there was some funny little moments,

31:57

small, a whim. is trying to

31:59

drop a hint about the droids

32:01

and he's just not getting it.

32:03

He's like, well, that's what the

32:05

supervisors for. Like, we're all good.

32:08

And it was like when I'm sitting

32:10

there and my Mrs is trying to

32:12

drop me a hint, you know, when

32:14

we're at a social function or something

32:16

and she's staring at me like, oh,

32:18

my social battery's done, Luke, can we

32:20

go? And I'm just like, yeah, anyway,

32:22

if you've ever been anywhere socially of

32:25

Luke, his battery, doesn't run out. until

32:27

he gets home and the next day

32:29

it's run out but my man he's

32:31

you've tried to pull people away from

32:33

a social thing sometimes it does something

32:35

for the most part yeah you are

32:37

right you are right you know sometimes

32:39

sometimes I'm just like ah sometimes he loves

32:42

it a bit too much but I like

32:44

that mate I love seeing their relate they're

32:46

bonding and the I say awkward bonding but

32:48

even after everything when Wendell was saying like

32:51

please come home I should have listened to

32:53

you know the meal and I thought it

32:55

was so sweet because you know I can

32:57

relate sometimes as well Wendell's he's like a

33:00

bit at home cooked mill son I bet you

33:02

haven't had that for a while and it is

33:04

just like you say a microwave ready mill a

33:06

halogen ready mill and to me I look at

33:08

that and obviously whims a bit like mmm but

33:11

Wendell's like I'm doing my best here you know

33:13

I'm trying this is what this is all

33:15

I can provide I'm doing so and I'm

33:17

like you know I feel I feel that

33:19

I like that it wasn't that he they're

33:21

showing that side of it as side of

33:23

it as well as well where it ain't

33:25

all sunshine and rainbows but it's just like

33:27

governor trying his best and sometimes trying circumstances

33:30

and you know I respect that they

33:32

went down that route but it was

33:34

also funny when they showed that extremely

33:36

burnt meal in that microwave slash halogen

33:39

oven but yeah mate that's the scene

33:41

of Wendell when the kids are the

33:43

one who happened to say dad let's

33:45

go when he's getting excited about jumping

33:47

over that gorge I was there yes

33:49

and he drops it he drops it

33:51

He brings a fire later

33:54

on. When they need to

33:56

restore the power

33:58

to unclamp... the onyx cinder.

34:00

And Wim's Wendell says, Wim's dad,

34:02

at any place you can do

34:05

it is in the supervisor's tower.

34:07

So Wim says, dad, can you

34:09

restore the power? And then my

34:11

man gets his hero moment, he

34:13

says, I am a level seven

34:15

systems coordinator. Oh, fire. Get the

34:17

bike. Yeah, get the van. Like

34:19

we thought they would at the

34:22

beginning of the season. He says,

34:24

no, get get a bike. And

34:26

I'm like, mate, that is the

34:28

geekiest, dorkiest, nerdiest, daddiest thing to

34:30

say. And I absolutely loved it.

34:32

But that's this way. Yeah, everyone

34:34

had a hero moment pretty much.

34:36

And that was his and I

34:38

loved it. Oh, it was fantastic.

34:41

Fantastic. And there was even a

34:43

point, there was a split second,

34:45

I won't lie, split second. And

34:47

I was a bit worried about

34:49

it where, you know, there's the,

34:51

the, the lever to pull, right,

34:53

where it takes down the shield.

34:55

I was like, don't, yeah, don't

34:57

do it. And I, yeah, I

35:00

was thinking, I, I could imagine

35:02

John and Chris being like, so

35:04

sent this drafting, have you got

35:06

any, got any recommendations or advice,

35:08

Dave? Well, there's

35:10

just one moment where they're trying to

35:12

pull lever and, you know, the thing

35:14

is, if they try hard enough, they're,

35:17

you know, the force will will it.

35:19

If you dream it, you can do

35:21

it. It's what he's thinking. The lights

35:23

are on, but no one's home. Classic

35:26

hero. All the notes that came

35:28

back, it just said Ahsoka should come

35:30

in there. And they ended up

35:32

saying, come on, Dave, it's lunch break.

35:34

Out you go, son. Why don't

35:36

we put in some droidica somewhere? You

35:38

know, I

35:40

know what you mean. I think we'll

35:42

be at our border. I think we'll

35:44

an auction, Dave. Are we ready? But

35:46

it's, it's fun because it's true as

35:48

well. I didn't say we're going to

35:50

stop Matt. I didn't say it's funny

35:52

because it's true. Ahsoka season two, you

35:54

and Hayden, Glenn Moore's flashbacks and my

35:56

Dave, come on, move the story forward,

35:58

not back. Anyway, anyway, if they

36:01

do it well, I guess, but I don't

36:03

want to, I don't want to, I

36:05

don't want to see scenes that we've already

36:07

seen. Like, the one, the one in season

36:09

one of Usoka? Sweet, it was a kind

36:11

of an adaptation of a battle that, but

36:13

rather we hadn't seen. I like that.

36:15

I thought it was really important to

36:18

go back to Ryle laughs. Yes, it'd

36:20

be like, we just get a clone

36:22

wars episode in live action. Anyway, yeah,

36:24

anyway, anyway, I thought he was going

36:26

to be using the force, but then

36:28

I started to wonder, I was like,

36:30

oh my word, Jod is using the

36:32

force, I'm like, is he going to

36:35

break whim's fingers backwards? Because he started

36:37

to use the fort, and I was like,

36:39

is he going to snap every finger? And

36:41

I think every finger. For the age it

36:43

is intended for, or it's intended for all

36:46

ages, I get that, but it is also

36:48

scuring to a younger audience. It's done some

36:50

things which are, you know, fairly dark, like

36:52

shooting a wolfman in the head. And I'm

36:54

saying it's going to... And I'm here for

36:57

that, saying it, I'm going to slice your

36:59

parents up. I thought, are they going to

37:01

break Wendell's fingers one by one,

37:03

until whim eventually says enough's enough?

37:05

But yeah, I'm glad we didn't

37:07

get any... weird impromptu force usage

37:09

is I'm glad whim didn't use

37:12

the lightsaber for anything other than

37:14

at the end when it was

37:16

almost a symbolic way of saying

37:18

you're beaten when he ignited it the

37:20

right I love that he checks to make

37:22

sure it's the right way up this time

37:25

I love that the mate what I keep

37:27

saying about what I wanted to happen

37:29

which is the kids came together

37:31

to save the day using their

37:33

smarts their wit and the information

37:35

they learned along the way yeah

37:38

Wim didn't suddenly realize he could

37:40

use the force by mistake

37:42

or any of them. I mean, Neil

37:44

wasn't suddenly a warrior.

37:46

It was just, oh, there's a

37:48

gun. I'm going to use it. You

37:51

know what I mean? Yeah, I've seen

37:53

it. 100% 100% of Graham. One of

37:55

the key things they learn is

37:57

actually in a line. It's in

37:59

a line. Kira, Thurn says

38:01

it, sorry, everywhere we

38:03

went, even the worst

38:06

places, there were good people.

38:08

Yeah. And again, you know,

38:10

ties in with the X-Wings

38:13

coming in save today,

38:15

the parents, right?

38:17

Like, even, even

38:19

somebody at-at-in people,

38:21

you know, just going by trying

38:23

to protect their kiddos, elephant

38:25

mum, elephant dad. just protecting

38:27

their kids you know then

38:30

they can't get involved in

38:32

the fire they protect it's

38:34

little things like oh yeah

38:36

I thought it was very

38:38

sweet we got a frog dog barking

38:41

yeah they bark sorry well what

38:43

was it doing it was like

38:45

yapping it was yapping yeah yeah

38:47

is that what he was doing

38:49

you know that scene there was

38:52

an authoritarian in universe what they

38:54

called it a bark would it

38:56

be called like a bork or

38:58

something it's balking oh blymie mat

39:01

Right, let's take a quick break

39:03

mate. It's

39:21

the best podcast

39:23

you've ever heard.

39:25

Star with Sessions

39:27

on the mic,

39:29

it's quite absurd. Got

39:32

a patriot now, we're

39:34

lots of tears. From

39:37

two dollars a month,

39:39

it's all it is.

39:42

Best podcast. Roger, Roger.

39:45

Yeah man, they're good people out there and

39:48

I was a little bit worried that

39:50

some of those good people out there

39:52

were KB's parents and Neil's parents who

39:54

were kind of like just thrown to

39:56

the side. But as Damoro watched the

39:58

episode I really... I was like, yeah,

40:01

they weren't discarded. They were in that

40:03

throng of citizens that were being

40:05

rounded up by the pirates in

40:07

the street. If we didn't know

40:09

anyone in there in that pile,

40:11

it wouldn't really mean as much.

40:13

So the fact that we know

40:15

that Neil's mom and dad are

40:17

there, we know that KB's parents

40:19

are in there as well. It

40:21

adds a little bit more weight

40:23

to that's not just random at

40:25

in citizens. We don't want the

40:27

pirates to open fire on these

40:29

guys because... Right. we know a

40:31

couple so it made it made

40:33

a very nice bit of connective

40:35

tissue to what was happening on

40:37

the ground rather than what was

40:39

happening in the tower so originally

40:41

I thought oh they've just kind

40:43

of like pushed them to one

40:45

side but no it made sense

40:48

as to why they did it

40:50

to me you mentioned the pyrates

40:52

yeah the pyrates of the Caribbean

40:54

oh pyrotees yeah have you heard

40:56

that famous joke about the different

40:58

pyrates of the Caribbean Yes I

41:00

have I posted on my Instagram.

41:02

Yeah my friend my friend Josh

41:04

Stevens actually said that at a

41:06

comedy night. The whole thing. He

41:08

said that joke yeah and he

41:10

starts off he started off with

41:12

in the Caribbean yeah and you

41:14

know what it's perfect I'll tell

41:16

that on the patron another day

41:18

right it's a good joke. If

41:20

you get the delivery right, it's

41:22

a good joke. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

41:24

no, I'm going to tell that

41:26

story another time. With, um, the

41:28

pirates, do you think, if we

41:30

speak candidly, do you think we

41:32

could have had a little more

41:34

pirate action in this episode? Yes,

41:36

yes, that was kind of one

41:38

of my things was, you know,

41:40

were the pirates defeated a little

41:43

bit too easily or were they

41:45

dissuaded from fighting? a bit too

41:47

easily. Yes, the New Republic had

41:49

X-wings and B-wings and maybe the

41:51

pirates thought, you know what, difficult

41:53

fight, I don't fancy this, and

41:55

maybe they realize that there's no

41:57

point because we're not going to

41:59

win. However... They're pirates.

42:01

So my understanding was they just go

42:03

in gun, Leroy Jenkins, gun, ho, whether

42:05

they were going to make it or

42:07

not, because that's just in their nature.

42:09

So I would have liked to have

42:11

seen a little bit more fighting back

42:13

and a little bit more resistance,

42:15

but you know, they wrapped it up pretty

42:17

quickly. And that was one of the only

42:20

key things I had about the episode is

42:22

whilst you wrapped it up really well, it

42:24

did wrap it up quite quickly and fairly

42:26

abruptly by the end, where when you

42:28

set up top. I wish it was 45

42:30

minutes and we're like, those minutes do count

42:32

because an extra three minutes. Okay, I

42:34

always say, go and sit and stare at

42:37

a wall for three minutes and then you

42:39

realize how long that is and how much

42:41

you can actually fit into that time. Even

42:44

just a couple of scenes off the

42:46

pirates fighting back, maybe scoring a few hits,

42:48

taking a few buildings down just as a

42:50

last stand and then, you know, the X-wings

42:52

and B-wings just wrecks shop. I would have

42:55

liked a bit more of that, but we didn't

42:57

get that. If anything, it shows... what people

42:59

have wanted to see for the

43:01

last few series, which is the

43:03

New Republic aren't just a bunch

43:05

of like pure crack idiots. They're

43:07

a force. And also to what by the

43:10

end, you know, the Jedi were redeemed

43:12

in the eyes of a lot of

43:14

people I bet here because the Jedi

43:16

was seen as nothing with heroes in

43:18

this season. But also the New Republic

43:20

I think came out looking quite good as

43:22

well. But you know, it's all tied up with

43:24

words. KB, we knew she was going to contact

43:26

Kim. or as she called her, the bird lady

43:29

which I thought was quite funny. And Kim

43:31

was like, oh yeah, I know a hyperspace route

43:33

directly there. But then I remember back

43:35

to episode three and she actually said

43:37

something along lines of, I've got, I know

43:39

every hyperspace route, hyperspace route in

43:41

the galaxy baby. So they actually,

43:44

they said it up that she knows everything

43:46

and she knows how to get places. But

43:48

you could also look at it as in

43:50

like, yep, I know exactly how to get

43:52

there, got the coordinates. And then the New

43:55

Republics, we arrived within seconds. It's television

43:57

man. They've got it. I get that they've got to wrap it

43:59

up and they can't do it 24-star win in

44:01

real time but an extra few

44:03

minutes definitely wouldn't have hurt me

44:06

this is the one of the

44:08

rare instances of a series or

44:10

film or whatever where I say

44:12

actually it needed more time than

44:14

often it's usually the opposite I

44:17

say yeah but that's a thing

44:19

in Star Wars you know at

44:21

times it does feel lean right

44:23

and I do think the leaner

44:25

run times actually do suit Skelet

44:28

and crew for the most part

44:30

during the season, right? Especially, what

44:32

about you though, sorry, just not

44:34

to interject, but you asked the

44:37

question of me about the pirates,

44:39

do you think that they could

44:41

have put up more of a

44:43

fight? Yeah, I basically implied in

44:45

the question, you know, I mean,

44:48

yeah, I do, I do. We

44:50

could have had a bit more

44:52

action, I think, a bit more

44:54

on the ground, like pirate, bam,

44:56

bam, maybe even some tension, maybe

44:59

KB even gets kidnapped by one

45:01

of the one of the other

45:03

part. a wimcy bit more I

45:05

think. I don't think that's some

45:07

reasonable, I don't even think that's

45:10

too nitpicky to be honest. So

45:12

that again mate, to want more,

45:14

most of the time it can

45:16

only be a good thing. Yeah,

45:18

to quote Kylo Wren, more. More.

45:21

So, yeah, I just think, yeah,

45:23

I thought the story was fantastic

45:25

though and it was fun. It

45:27

was fun, weren't that deep? And

45:30

this does feel like a little

45:32

gift at the end of the

45:34

year, right, after what's been a

45:36

bit crazy with the acalyte, with

45:38

the fandom, with lots of divide

45:41

and, you know, conquering and all

45:43

sorts of different things, right? Overall,

45:45

I think personally this feels like

45:47

a success, right? I think we'll

45:49

talk more on our next episode

45:52

when we're reviewing the season as

45:54

whole about numbers and about overall

45:56

reception and popularity, the pop culture

45:58

zeitgeist. This episode though. for me

46:00

ultimately just it did its job it did

46:03

its job the characters were great the

46:05

tension was great you know in the

46:07

office right when there's the KB crash

46:09

happens and they're all emotional yeah we

46:12

already say like we already say like

46:14

I didn't need didn't need to end

46:16

like this and then we get that

46:18

amazing moment about like no you're liar

46:20

you know you're no Jedi you like

46:23

the tension and emotion in that once

46:25

in the acting in that room in

46:27

that room in that room was sublime.

46:30

It was sublime mate and I

46:32

can't yeah it was it was

46:35

just really really good.

46:37

Okay I'm finding it hard

46:39

to critique yeah the only

46:41

other thing I can say

46:43

a lot other than the

46:45

pirates V effects at times

46:47

and I'm I am had their

46:49

work out. There was a lot

46:51

of V effects in this episode. but

46:53

there were one one or two times

46:55

I was like that's a bit ropy

46:58

that's a bit ropy but that's me

47:00

being nitpicky and I know it and

47:02

that's fine so yeah yeah some of

47:04

the speeder shot when they're on the

47:06

speeder some are kind of like the

47:09

backshots are kind of a little bit

47:11

dodge-looking but it's if the series had

47:13

a supposed one hundred and like 13

47:15

million dollar budget they've used every dollar

47:18

of that wisely because this show looks

47:20

amazing for a hundred so if it

47:22

is a hundred and a million this

47:24

show looks amazing because is that a

47:27

reported budget is I think the most

47:29

is about hundreds 120 million dollars is

47:31

what I've seen and again I don't

47:33

know that for sure I've just going by

47:35

this time what I've seen. That's all I

47:38

know if that's true I think the show

47:40

looks insanely good for that. and I think

47:42

it shows that you can make great looking

47:44

shows for a less budget than like big

47:47

films are being made for which don't look

47:49

anywhere near as good I think for the

47:51

most part this this series and actually

47:53

this episode look good yeah some of

47:55

the speed of shots when they're on

47:57

those hover bikes I thought fine but

47:59

I'm also trying to tell myself, like,

48:02

how would it look? How good would

48:04

it look if you haven't got that

48:06

rogue one level budget? And I say

48:08

rogue one, because everything in that

48:10

film looked great. Yeah, man, the

48:12

kids are, the kids were great,

48:14

the kids are, and the kids

48:16

were excellent. And speaking of budget,

48:18

I mean, these kids, and alongside

48:20

Jude, are leading a hundred and something

48:22

million dollar product project. a big deal

48:25

because if it doesn't do well or

48:27

people don't like the kids performances and

48:29

I don't mean like silly people who

48:31

just shout with kids I mean if

48:34

the kids actually just weren't quite up

48:36

to it then you you would that would

48:38

be used as a stick to beat

48:40

the show with and Lucas film would

48:42

have another flop potentially but No, they

48:44

did. I think it's Sarah Howley Finn,

48:46

I think she's the Carson Director, did

48:48

such a great job getting these kids.

48:50

They really held their own in every

48:52

episode, but in this one specifically as

48:54

well, that scene where you think KB's

48:56

going to die and fern screams no

48:58

one whims in tears and that. I

49:00

mean, it's great. And even little Robert

49:02

Timothy Smith behind the prosthetics of Neil

49:04

can get so much, you know, eat so

49:06

much out of his performance, which I really

49:08

like. Yeah, man. It's bad, man. There's one

49:11

scene in it which I laughed at. I,

49:13

because I watched this this morning in bed

49:15

before I started work, so I, in bed

49:17

I watched this morning in bed before I

49:20

started work, so I, in bed, I'm like,

49:22

this is the life man, I TV, watching

49:24

Star Wars, man. And it got to the

49:26

end and they run out and find the

49:28

cinder. Oh, it's not on fire, that's

49:31

a good thing, and all this money

49:33

is pouring out pouring out pouring out.

49:35

And then KB's body just like slides

49:37

out. But the way it slides out,

49:39

I like the most out, I couldn't

49:41

help myself but laugh. Because the way

49:43

it's just kind of, I know, like

49:45

station area. That was hilarious. And then

49:47

I thought, I hope she isn't actually

49:49

dead in the, within the galaxy because

49:51

I've just ruined that own moment for

49:53

me. We all knew she wasn't going

49:55

to be guys. We all knew that

49:57

no one was going to bite it.

50:00

but I need to go back and

50:02

watch that scene again to see is

50:04

it as funny second time or was

50:06

it just because I wasn't expecting like

50:08

this all this money and then this

50:10

body to just it didn't even slump

50:12

out it just kind of like slides

50:15

out like that like she was frightened

50:17

on a big slide so that made

50:19

me laugh when it probably shouldn't have

50:21

done what in what was otherwise emotional

50:23

moment I also thought Fern's mom got

50:25

shot by Jod Yeah, because he was

50:28

going to kill one of them. He

50:30

was shooting to kill in that scene,

50:32

and I thought she'd actually cop to

50:34

blast a bolt, but she didn't. I

50:36

mean, I kind of like, would have

50:38

liked it if she did, not because

50:41

I like violence against anyone, but for

50:43

the stakes, just to be like, oh

50:45

wow, this guy isn't messing about. And

50:47

almost, it almost would have been quite

50:49

cool if he had accidentally knicked with

50:51

the blaster bolt. and then cut back

50:54

to his face where he's almost, again,

50:56

like regretful, like, I didn't actually mean

50:58

to do that, I was just meant

51:00

to be like a warning shot, just

51:02

to give us more about Jod, but

51:04

none of that happened and I'm fine

51:06

with that and Fern's mom Farah. She's

51:09

only trying to do what's best. She

51:11

tried to hold on to the secret

51:13

of Attattin till that last minute, she

51:15

wouldn't let them all that lever, and

51:17

I get why, because think about it.

51:19

That planet's now out there. This is

51:22

the ramification. Anyone can come in now.

51:24

She's just seen what happens when people

51:26

come into their planet. If people are

51:28

dying and things are getting blown up,

51:30

so of course she doesn't want that

51:32

lever to be pushed, but she trusted

51:35

her daughter and I loved that as

51:37

well. Well, another thing that I loved

51:39

was actually, and I don't want to

51:41

be too critical of the V effects

51:43

because I thought when the ships, anything

51:45

to do the X-wing ships, I thought

51:48

was... excellent. There's a moment where KB

51:50

flies the ship out of, out into

51:52

the sky to reach, to reach Kim,

51:54

right? And it's, it's excellent. There are,

51:56

there are moments where I was sitting

51:58

there thinking, wow, this looks so good,

52:01

go on. it. I think I've said

52:03

it. Yeah. Thank you Dan mate. The

52:05

pirate ship landing on the city. Yeah,

52:07

it felt like little Tom Cruise was

52:09

going to jump out and run.

52:11

Yeah, because it felt like War

52:14

of the World's. Is that Spilberg?

52:16

That will. It is a Spilberg

52:18

film, yeah. Love that. I loved

52:20

that film. Yeah. I liked it

52:23

until the end. What happens

52:25

at the end? The birds. They get

52:27

a cold. Is it the kid? Yes.

52:29

Is it the kid, isn't it? The

52:31

kid that we thought died part the

52:33

way through or the boy, or whoever

52:35

it was or somebody, turns up at

52:38

the end, like at the very end.

52:40

What? It's that classic Spielberg

52:42

trope of, he's a classic

52:44

Spielberg trope of, he's got

52:46

to let everyone know everyone's

52:49

are right. Yeah. And it

52:51

is a Spielberg thing, where he's

52:53

like, no, I'm not going with

52:55

you. I'm going that way like into the

52:57

battle and he's presumed to be dead

52:59

and then at the end he turns up. That

53:01

is from where War of the Wilds

53:03

was really. Yes mate. H.G. Wells, he

53:05

set it in Horsal Common down in

53:08

Woking Surrey and they've got they've got

53:10

a Martian statue in the town centre,

53:12

they've got the H.G. Wells sweet, they've

53:14

quite, they've really led into the williness

53:16

of all in the last. couple

53:18

of decades but yeah no

53:20

I've walked that route with

53:22

my daughter and I played

53:25

these sounds on my phone

53:27

and she thought there are

53:29

Martians. Oh that album? The

53:31

original? Oh mate that is

53:33

some wonderful stuff. Richard Burton

53:35

narrating it come on. Oh

53:37

mate come on come on

53:39

come on. Well talking of

53:41

Spielberg and Spielbergian vibes or

53:43

sorry wives. I tell you what when

53:46

the kids are kind of just sorting

53:48

out their plans and I like you

53:50

do this you do this with the

53:52

walkie-talkie and stuff there's that moment where

53:54

women gets caught like walkie-talkie meal and

53:56

then he just plays of his action

53:58

figures and the right the droids like

54:00

right okay princess fun lovely vibes immaculate

54:03

some may say I loved it it

54:05

was so spillbogian but it was unashameably

54:07

so yeah so why why wouldn't you

54:09

love it why wouldn't you know come

54:11

on mate it's is it is it

54:14

obviously derivative or wearing its influences on

54:16

its sleeve yes it is but it's

54:18

still Star Wars and that's and I

54:20

know there will be people listening to

54:23

this episode will say mate it ain't

54:25

But to me, it is, because sometimes

54:27

it's just what it's telling me. It's

54:29

a child-like wonder that Star Wars evokes.

54:32

Does it lean into his influences? Yes.

54:34

But then so to every... Most other

54:36

Star Wars productions as well. This one

54:38

more so than most than most than

54:40

most. This one more so than most.

54:43

But yeah, that scene was great when

54:45

he's like, oh, we've got to go

54:47

and save Princess Fern. When Neil, I

54:49

liked how they went, they took their

54:52

speeders or hover bikes through the school,

54:54

that was cool, because, you know, women

54:56

going back there to take his assessment

54:58

again, when Neil gets shot down, because

55:00

that's how he, on the other planet,

55:03

at Akron, or whatever it was, the

55:05

turret is on top of the school,

55:07

which is, so he gets shot down

55:09

to school, he's like, I know how

55:12

to help, I loved that, for it

55:14

going from somebody who didn't want to

55:16

fire a fire a weapon in episode

55:18

for, to be like, you know what,

55:21

you know what? to save my friends,

55:23

I'm going to give you cover of.

55:25

And he gets, and thankfully he gets

55:27

away, all I hope mate, the only

55:29

thing that wasn't resolved, but I hope

55:32

she saw it, you know it. I

55:34

was runa was looking up thinking, look

55:36

at that blue babe Neil up there

55:38

saving the day. Because I don't know

55:41

if he gets to girl or not.

55:43

I don't know if Neil gets to

55:45

go. I wonder if that was cut.

55:48

You know, like a, it feels

55:50

like a victory celebration was like

55:52

missing and edited out, you know.

55:55

Don't worry lads, give it a

55:57

few more years. to do this

55:59

all over again. In the sequels.

56:01

And he'll give her a little

56:03

flower or summing and she's like,

56:05

oh wow, and then he's telling

56:08

her how he blew up a

56:10

ship and great, but then again

56:12

he did fancy that Hainer or

56:14

her name was in episode four.

56:16

So, yeah, of anything. He's a

56:18

player. He's a dog mate. He's

56:21

a dirty dog. He found what

56:23

he wanted in the galaxy himself and

56:25

his looks. Of course we get the

56:27

return of SM33. Oh of course mate.

56:29

He's a droid. I mean a droid's

56:32

head the more I've thought about it

56:34

from last week like a droid head

56:36

like three pio's head gets like chopped

56:38

off in empire doesn't it and he's

56:41

just like he's what in attack yeah

56:43

attack the clones clone wars like

56:45

he's just walking around with headless

56:47

yeah so there's that um excellent

56:49

the line he's and he's only briefly

56:51

in it but I cheered when I saw

56:53

him and he's only briefly in it but

56:55

I cheered when I saw him I saw

56:58

him and he just He really is, have

57:00

you seen that, you know there's that toy

57:02

line, what's it called? Like the affordable

57:04

toy line, quite required. I know

57:06

which one you mean, yeah. The

57:08

yellow package in, there's an SM-33

57:11

figure coming out in that line.

57:13

Mm-hmm. Yeah, call on it. You're

57:15

thinking about it? I'll get it

57:17

for my nephew because I don't collect

57:19

that line but it's a great figure

57:21

and I really want that figure to

57:24

come to vintage collection. That's what I

57:26

want it to be there for. I

57:28

don't know if they'll do it or

57:30

not. But I loved that and he

57:33

got he has that cheeky line with

57:35

that's one of my best landings that

57:37

is. I was oh mate this guy

57:39

yes we've got Star Wars Sally

57:41

yeah finally not monster zinc. No

57:43

the pilot man Mr. What are

57:46

they called? I can't remember what the

57:48

rats called now. They gave him a

57:50

name, but Ratatui. Yeah, we're calling that

57:52

space Ratatui. He, Mr. Jingles, he went

57:55

to, he went to, he went to Neil

57:57

again and Neil held him and the first

57:59

time we tried. to buy him and

58:01

it's a nice little payoff for

58:03

something which again didn't didn't need

58:05

a payoff or anything like that

58:07

right right it's nice it's the

58:09

show for me paid off everything

58:11

in which it needed to yeah

58:13

but I can understand do you

58:15

think there'll be people out there now and

58:18

I think by the time we get to

58:20

our next episode we'll know for

58:22

sure but do you think there are

58:24

people out there now who will think

58:26

I don't know mate it's still

58:28

a lot unresolved Yeah, I can

58:30

understand. You know, like you said, you

58:33

got the captain, who's the captain, what

58:35

happens to Jod. You know, there is

58:37

unresolved things. I don't think that's

58:40

necessarily a bad thing because the

58:42

central part of the story has

58:44

been resolved. The adventure has had

58:46

us beginning middle and end, right?

58:48

Everything around it, the periphery, maybe

58:50

there's some mystery and some more...

58:52

questions that can be answered. Who's

58:54

to say that Jod, I immediately

58:56

thought at the end of the

58:58

episode? I was like, I don't

59:00

think that's the last we'll see

59:02

a Jod. I think Jod can

59:04

be used in further Star Wars

59:07

canon, Star Wars stories. Yeah, mandover

59:09

stuff, you know, the felony film, something

59:11

like that. Yeah, man. And I do

59:13

think the credits play into it, right?

59:15

I think that is just the writings

59:17

on the wall with that. Suddenly, suddenly

59:19

we've got a galaxy and I'm pretty

59:21

sure. At the Mandova stories, there's

59:24

always an implication that a

59:26

lot of places are actually

59:28

struggling financially. Suddenly, and we

59:30

all know in real world, you

59:33

can't just bang a load of

59:35

money into an economy, and that's

59:37

just called printing, yeah, and that's

59:39

just... It doesn't quite work, yeah.

59:41

Inflation, right? But anyway, in Star

59:43

Wars, you do what you want,

59:45

and it's now got loads of

59:48

gold, yeah, and they're like, oh,

59:50

well, we can, we can use

59:52

this, right, right? summarized the show

59:54

in its entirety was this you've

59:56

got this one thread with

59:59

jod who is still a kid

1:00:01

really like his personality is still

1:00:03

juvenile it's young he's obsessed with

1:00:05

the treasure and he has that

1:00:07

line at the end of the

1:00:09

day all you can trust is

1:00:11

cold hard credits well turns out

1:00:13

he's wrong and you have almost

1:00:15

this like anti-type to it this

1:00:17

antithesis to it where you've got

1:00:19

the kiddos who see KB lives

1:00:21

and and what do the kiddos

1:00:23

do they run up to her

1:00:26

and they give her a cuddle

1:00:28

what are they all sitting on?

1:00:30

Gold, baby, cold, hard credits. But

1:00:32

they don't care. They don't care.

1:00:34

They don't care. They're like, oh

1:00:36

right, okay, don't matter. Yeah. And

1:00:38

they've learned the value of that,

1:00:40

right? And I know they're from

1:00:42

our aunt, and so, you know,

1:00:44

the value's probably a bit different,

1:00:46

but who cares? Like, that's the

1:00:48

point of the show. It's what

1:00:50

you said earlier, the power of

1:00:52

friends and friendship. And it was

1:00:54

just so, it was nicely. done.

1:00:56

And I think I think to

1:00:58

myself Matt, would a family enjoy

1:01:00

this? And that's what I want

1:01:02

to know. I want the voicemails

1:01:04

coming in. I want the email

1:01:06

was coming in, right, for our

1:01:08

next episode where reviewing the season

1:01:10

as a whole, I want those

1:01:12

experiences because I can't help but

1:01:14

feel like this is one of

1:01:16

the more charming Star Wars we've

1:01:19

had maybe in quite a few

1:01:21

years, you know, after... the seriousness

1:01:23

and severity of Andor and you

1:01:25

know even Mando at times Mando

1:01:27

is to watch superb adventure but

1:01:29

this was just so it was

1:01:31

so refreshing. That's it mate you

1:01:33

know I like great great episode

1:01:35

great finale. Yeah man it felt

1:01:37

like what it was like to

1:01:39

chew that brand of gum. Oh,

1:01:41

it felt good. It was a

1:01:43

breath of fresh air, mate. I

1:01:45

can't remember what the gum is

1:01:47

now, but other friends are available.

1:01:49

I think I know the advert,

1:01:51

where they put it in. It

1:01:53

did feel like a breath of

1:01:55

fresh air, mainly for... because it

1:01:57

was just contained and they let

1:01:59

the story and the character speak

1:02:01

for themselves like I've said but

1:02:03

it was charming mate and that's

1:02:05

what I loved about it and

1:02:07

even at the very end even

1:02:09

after everything Jod did he held

1:02:12

Wendell he had a lightsaber to

1:02:14

whim's governor's throats you know he

1:02:16

he used a force to almost

1:02:18

break his hands and he called

1:02:20

whim a spoil brat and said

1:02:22

you're the worst of them but

1:02:24

even at the very end when

1:02:26

everyone escapes into the elevator, whim

1:02:28

shouts Jod as in Come

1:02:30

on, you know, because come with us. You

1:02:32

don't have to go this way or we

1:02:35

can forgive you or we can work it

1:02:37

out as the beat was said. I love

1:02:39

that. And I thought at first I thought

1:02:41

that I thought Job was going to go

1:02:44

to that viewing port, look out the window

1:02:46

and that frigate was going to do a

1:02:48

U-turn and come towards him and blow him

1:02:50

up. But I'm glad they didn't because firstly

1:02:53

that would have been stupid. Secondly, you can

1:02:55

use Job because... He can be there in

1:02:57

the back, he's not going to be the

1:03:00

hero, he's not going to be the one

1:03:02

to take throng down, but he is someone

1:03:04

you can have in your back pocket, where

1:03:06

if you get the kids in a few

1:03:09

years time and they're in trouble and the

1:03:11

New Republic needs help, they might be able

1:03:13

to say, well, we kind of know somebody

1:03:15

who might be good for this job and

1:03:18

they go and find Jard and that's how

1:03:20

they bring him back and he helps them

1:03:22

like Nick something or something like that. So

1:03:25

there are ways to do it. I mean

1:03:27

like most I can't solo but to a

1:03:29

lesser extent like he comes in he does

1:03:31

the manual work whereas everybody else does the

1:03:34

big boy work like Luke uses a force

1:03:36

and all that yeah I love that but

1:03:38

the fact that whim nobody else a but

1:03:40

whim shout without you know jod he come

1:03:43

with us yes okay I love that he

1:03:45

didn't I like he stayed alive liked that

1:03:47

he stayed alive and I love whim looking

1:03:49

up at the X wing and seeing and

1:03:52

seeing that new Republic freighter coming in that

1:03:54

new Republic freighter coming in and thinking that

1:03:56

new Republic of like I said with Carson

1:03:59

Teaver flipping in a new republic. Badge. When

1:04:01

he looked up into the sky like broom

1:04:03

boy and underless, I

1:04:05

thought, to me they're kind of

1:04:07

setting up like, he's going to

1:04:10

go up there. He'll see, he'll

1:04:12

say, oh, General Sandula, who's

1:04:14

that greenhead prick. Oh, that's

1:04:16

my son, Jason. Oh, we're

1:04:18

the same age. Let's be

1:04:20

mates and they're going to go

1:04:22

off and be pilots together

1:04:25

and it's all going to be

1:04:27

great fun. Whim to

1:04:29

know? Whim. Whim what? Whim

1:04:31

who? Whim. Whim who? Whim.

1:04:34

Whim. Whim. Yeah, come on.

1:04:36

Would. Yeah, come on.

1:04:38

Wood. Yeah, brilliant.

1:04:41

Yeah, brilliant. I'm

1:04:43

here mate. Oh, the

1:04:45

execution of that. Come on, come

1:04:47

on, come on, come on. I'm happy

1:04:50

with the landing, mate. I'm happy with

1:04:52

the landing, mate. I'm happy with

1:04:54

the landing. No, no, no cameos.

1:04:56

And at the end of today,

1:04:58

this is still a fathomi production.

1:05:00

Yes, it's still, this is still

1:05:02

Mando verse, and they would have

1:05:04

had a hand in this. So, more

1:05:06

power to them. credit to them. And

1:05:08

I know we taint the mick a

1:05:11

little bit, especially with old Dave, right?

1:05:13

But listen, we have fun with it.

1:05:15

We have fun with it, right? It's

1:05:18

not serious. If they wanted to say,

1:05:20

look, Chris and John, we really need

1:05:22

him to be in this at the

1:05:25

end, because in the film, this happened,

1:05:27

we need a sober to, or we need

1:05:29

her name or her voice over the comms

1:05:32

to time. They could have done that

1:05:34

because they are the show runners. overseas,

1:05:36

the exact producers, they wanted to,

1:05:38

they held the power and I

1:05:40

don't think Lucasville would say, do

1:05:42

you know what Dave and John,

1:05:44

step back, I think they say no,

1:05:47

no, that's what they want, we'll find

1:05:49

a way. So they shout out, and

1:05:51

today, if I have fun with Dave,

1:05:53

but real restraint, like you said mate,

1:05:55

to play in their own soundbox like

1:05:57

Chris and John created, I love that.

1:06:00

thoughts and questions I

1:06:02

think around John Watts

1:06:04

and Chris Ford the season

1:06:06

as a whole a season two

1:06:08

is a season two even needed

1:06:11

you know right now I don't

1:06:13

think so I think the kids

1:06:15

will be by the

1:06:17

time realistically they start

1:06:19

filming yeah and and

1:06:21

and write something film something I

1:06:23

think just integrate the story into

1:06:26

something else, into a film. You

1:06:28

don't necessarily need a season too.

1:06:30

I'm going to sit on that,

1:06:32

I'm going to rewatch some episodes,

1:06:34

I'm going to rewatch the finale

1:06:36

with my missus, and I'm going

1:06:38

to let it sink, but send

1:06:41

your thoughts in because I've got

1:06:43

a ton of questions about this

1:06:45

series that I think right now I'm going

1:06:47

to save for our main show. We're recapping

1:06:49

the season and I'm right now, like you

1:06:51

said, like you asked, I'm happy. I'm happy.

1:06:54

I'm happy. I'm happy. This has

1:06:56

been possibly the most consistent

1:06:58

Star Wars show with Hand Yet.

1:07:01

I'm not, and that doesn't mean

1:07:03

it's the best, I'm not saying

1:07:05

it's the best. But I'm very,

1:07:07

I'm really happy. A self-contained

1:07:09

story and they've landed it.

1:07:12

It's fun. Right. It's done,

1:07:14

it's complete, this assignment map.

1:07:16

Yeah, it's handed it in, it's got an

1:07:18

A. I love that mate yeah get your

1:07:20

thoughts in guys before we give our ratings

1:07:22

and final final final final final thoughts but

1:07:24

get your thoughts in we want to hear

1:07:26

what you think about the season as a

1:07:28

whole not just Steve finale but as the

1:07:30

season what did you think about it the

1:07:32

highlights the loads did it work did it

1:07:34

feel Star Wars he all those questions for

1:07:36

you that you've been all those questions and

1:07:38

thoughts or that you've been asking yourselves send

1:07:40

them into the show or send your thoughts

1:07:42

in at least and yeah the thing I'm going

1:07:44

to be sitting on on mate is To what you

1:07:47

to your point is do we need

1:07:49

a season two, but as a like

1:07:51

a Addendum to that is What's the

1:07:53

story? Yeah, because season one

1:07:55

was kids get lost they get

1:07:57

home like it's not at home

1:07:59

alone get lost again or the parents

1:08:01

leave them is right they can go

1:08:03

out into the big wide galaxy but

1:08:06

the magic's gone because we've seen them

1:08:08

with they've done that so I think

1:08:10

you're right mate incorporate it more it

1:08:12

would be cool to see the kids

1:08:14

turn up elsewhere I'd love to see

1:08:16

of course we do but for now

1:08:18

until the next episode that's what I'm

1:08:21

going to be thinking on is like

1:08:23

if they do a season two yeah

1:08:25

how and what would they be doing

1:08:27

a good it that's exactly it I

1:08:29

was going to say something similar have

1:08:31

an idea on what a season would

1:08:33

be, yeah, make it good, send it

1:08:35

in, because I bet you it's a

1:08:38

lot harder than you think, to make

1:08:40

it worthwhile. And this is what I

1:08:42

mean, the continuation can be in the

1:08:44

greater mando verse, which is what I

1:08:46

think they're doing. I think they've already

1:08:48

got this. under control. You can tell

1:08:50

the story of at in, for example,

1:08:53

oh, now that it's out there in

1:08:55

the open and the pot, oh, people

1:08:57

are going to come and start plundering

1:08:59

it, but that's not skeleton crew, that's

1:09:01

at at in. In terms of this

1:09:03

crew, what is the story? For me,

1:09:05

the only story you can tell is

1:09:07

10 years down the line when they're

1:09:10

old or, sorry, six or seven years

1:09:12

when they're kind of 1819, and they

1:09:14

can join the Republic, which then goes

1:09:16

on to become to become the resistance

1:09:18

to become the resistance. timeline wise we're

1:09:20

still a way away from the first

1:09:22

order so I don't know what the

1:09:25

story is I think you integrated but

1:09:27

we'll discuss that in our next episode

1:09:29

we've got some ideas to chew on

1:09:31

I can't wait to sit down and

1:09:33

watch this with my little one she

1:09:35

has been loving it she looked so

1:09:37

crestful at the end of episode seven

1:09:40

when it finished because she wanted to

1:09:42

know what happened on that brilliant job

1:09:44

yeah yeah yeah SM33 got his headcarfage

1:09:46

I actually said ah She said, oh,

1:09:48

he's going to save the day. Got

1:09:50

his head cut off, and she's like,

1:09:52

oh, I guess he isn't saving the

1:09:54

day. No, he's not. Very intuitive. Did

1:09:57

you go, told you? I told you.

1:09:59

I told you. I said, shut up

1:10:01

and watch it right now. I didn't

1:10:03

say that. A channeled. Channeled you. jod,

1:10:05

your inner jod, your IJ. I've got

1:10:07

a headache and I run out of

1:10:09

patience. Shall I? No I didn't. But

1:10:12

no, she's been absolutely loving. It's the

1:10:14

first series I've watched with her. How

1:10:16

lovely. I think she'd enjoy. And for

1:10:18

the last two weekends she's been here,

1:10:20

she said, Daddy, when we watched dinner,

1:10:22

sorry, can we watch skeleton crew? Because

1:10:24

I'd actually forgotten. So she's art skin

1:10:26

to watch it. So I, when I

1:10:29

see her in the next day or

1:10:31

the next day or so, and the

1:10:33

next day or so, and the next

1:10:35

day or so, and the day or

1:10:37

so, and we, when I, and the,

1:10:39

when I, and the, when I, and

1:10:41

the, when I, and the, and the,

1:10:44

Tell the world what you think about

1:10:46

scale E C and tell us how

1:10:48

much you enjoyed it. Who's your favorite

1:10:50

character? What is your favorite moment and

1:10:52

all that stuff? So I'll try and

1:10:54

get a little voice clip from that'd

1:10:56

be great a target one of the

1:10:58

target audience, but yeah, well, are we

1:11:01

rapid it there mate? If you've got

1:11:03

any more things on your notes to

1:11:05

add? Checks notes. No notes. Do I

1:11:07

have any? I like that. The mystery

1:11:09

and breadcrumbs were just that. Oh yeah,

1:11:11

like the headless statue. The nods to

1:11:13

the all-powerful supervisor. They were just fun

1:11:16

little mysteries. They would just find bits

1:11:18

of law chucked in that don't mean

1:11:20

anything, but they're cool. They got us

1:11:22

talking. Women firm working together and winging

1:11:24

their way through was poetic. And Jod

1:11:26

is alive, but his future is unknown.

1:11:28

I now pressed elite. That is all

1:11:31

of my notes. on Skelet and Crew

1:11:33

episode 8 and the finale mate. And

1:11:35

Papa Elephant. So needed more of Neil's

1:11:37

dad. And also, Neil in the bath

1:11:39

again, every time there's a problem, he's

1:11:41

in the bath. I know. Great shot

1:11:43

though, for him looking up and seeing

1:11:45

the pirate ship. I mean you would

1:11:48

be though, you would be in the

1:11:50

bath. I love a bath. Well yeah,

1:11:52

he's been a dirty ship. Or as

1:11:54

they say kind of above London, if

1:11:56

it all gets a bit greater, yeah,

1:11:58

bath. I don't know about it. I

1:12:00

think I say. Bash, come on please.

1:12:03

B-A-R-N. then mate though for not for

1:12:05

the season but for episode 8 of

1:12:07

skeleton crew let's do our final ratings

1:12:09

for this episode we'll we'll probably give

1:12:11

an overall season rating in when we

1:12:13

do the review but I went first

1:12:15

last time mate so you heard that

1:12:17

frog dog yapping how many frog dogs

1:12:20

are you going to give episode

1:12:22

8 the finale of Skelly C

1:12:24

season 1 I loved this I love

1:12:26

that I'm measuring in frog dogs And,

1:12:28

you know, could there be a

1:12:31

bit more pirate action? Yeah.

1:12:33

But I'm gonna get, I'm

1:12:35

gonna, I'm gonna stick to

1:12:37

tradition, mate, where I'd be

1:12:39

rude not to stick to

1:12:42

a tradition. Yeah. Eight frog

1:12:44

dogs out of ten frog

1:12:46

dogs. It's, it's, it had

1:12:48

to be, right? This

1:12:50

is by definition, my

1:12:53

most consistent Star Wars

1:12:55

TV show. Mm-hmm. Yeah, brilliant.

1:12:58

What about you mate? What you saying?

1:13:00

I am going to, I'm going to

1:13:02

move the needle just a tiny weenie,

1:13:05

weenie, teeny bit mate. And I am

1:13:07

going to, only by the teeniest bit

1:13:09

man, I'm going to give this one

1:13:12

8.1 out of 10 because I've given

1:13:14

most other episodes 8, the lowest was

1:13:16

7.5, I think the highest was like

1:13:19

8.3, 8.5 maybe. And I think this

1:13:21

was the best episode of the season,

1:13:23

but I think it was... I think it

1:13:26

was above average for the season of

1:13:28

which I've been given eights for. So

1:13:30

80.1 for me, mate. I really enjoyed

1:13:32

this. And up with, you know,

1:13:34

from Mando's season one, this is

1:13:37

one of the most consistent seasons

1:13:39

of TV as well. Season one,

1:13:41

season one, season one, season one.

1:13:43

This is one of the most

1:13:46

consistent seasons of TV as well.

1:13:48

Season one, Mando, everyone, and then

1:13:50

some people also look at episode

1:13:52

four of this one, but. I mean

1:13:54

even season one Amanda had an episode where you

1:13:56

could think that's fine not as good as the

1:13:58

others but it's still good. So for me

1:14:01

it's up there was season one

1:14:03

Amanda for its consistency. Now whether

1:14:05

it's going to have that pulling

1:14:07

power, the zeitgeist hit that Mando

1:14:10

did remains to be seen. That's

1:14:12

a good episode for another time.

1:14:14

Next week. We'll talk about that

1:14:16

more next week about the season

1:14:19

as a whole, yeah. Big fan

1:14:21

of the episode, obviously a big

1:14:23

fan of the season and it

1:14:25

is no short of relief that

1:14:28

I can say I'm so pleased

1:14:30

that they did stick that landing

1:14:32

mate. Yeah, me too, mate. I

1:14:34

was worried. I was worried. You

1:14:37

know, I've thoroughly enjoyed a soaker

1:14:39

and toward the end of that

1:14:41

season, it just felt like everything

1:14:43

come to a gradual whole and

1:14:46

it just didn't for me in

1:14:48

my opinion. And I do like

1:14:50

that show, but this is just

1:14:52

stronger. I do, I feel like

1:14:55

this is stronger. John Chris, take

1:14:57

you bow mate. Let's catch up

1:14:59
