¶ Exploring Star Wars
Mia Malkova stated on Twitter just watch the Acolyte and I think I can officially say I've been in better written Star Wars movies . Hey , there , succulents . That was our cold open . Normally we do a little , uh , you know . Hey , this week on the show we're doing this , so stick around .
So , uh , but no , we start talking about where he's going for it today star wars and porn , star wars and dicks of what you do . So anyway , this week on star wars sucks , we're getting close with clones not mia malkova close , but close to clones and we see the rise of jedi master bombad . So , uh , let's stick around for this . Anyway .
Howdy succulents , welcome to star wars . Sucks , your non-toxic , low sodium star wars show . That doesn't make you feel bad for not knowing that in star wars , a new hope , princess leia , was held in detention block 2187 . We all know that , of course , detention block uh a23 uh , which is actually a reference to the short film by our arthur lipset .
2187 , which inspired george lucas to make the film THX 1138 . So it all comes together and Finn's Stormtrooper designation is FN 2187 .
I was literally just looking that up because we're going . I know that number . Why do I know that ?
so Leia was in 2187 cell , block AH 23 , and uh , and yeah , so it's just . This is what I love about star wars all those little nerdy , little behind the scenes tidbit like like what is it ? Uh , r2d2 ? Uh , real two , dialogue two , that those were written on the film canisters that's where his name comes from .
So it's anyway , I love wow , and that's why I love star wars for little stuff like docking bay 94 . You know , it's just like those little , those little stupid things that that have no impact on your day-to-day life , but it just , it's just fun to know and I guess that makes you a quote real Star Wars fan , if you know those things .
I don't , I don't like that term real Star Wars fan , but anyway , I think it just makes you a fan . You know , I don't know , fan is a fan , fan is a fan is a fan is a fan .
Anyway , so we are the circle of nerds and we absolutely do love Star Wars , obviously , even if we don't always like it , and today might be an example of us not liking it , but we still love it . You know , it's like , you know , you know a sibling or a partner .
You know you don't always like them , but you mostly , always , mostly , mostly most anyway , uh , so , so let's meet . the team from the outer rim territory of Bostween is Daddy Louie . Hello children , you get closer and closer to the mic on that every single week . Hello children .
Hello children .
And from parts unknown . It is T to the .
Oni .
Welcome back to the galaxy everybody . And uh special , uh special recognition to uh t , to the oni , for uh doing the show this week and you are ill . You are ill , so you are ride or die . I always thought that we're all you know . I was gonna die at the keyboard doing the show or something similar to this , but you literally might .
Let's hope not , but we'll see . I hope not .
Because that would suck . I don't know how we would explain that and you're irreplaceable , so we couldn't . That would be it . We'd be done , no more .
I could maybe find somebody to stuff me and just kind of prop me up and I could just be here . We'll figure that out . Yeah , we'll figure it out All right , we'll do that thing .
So and I am Tommy D , you are more than slightly obnoxious Star Wars know it all , and so what are we doing here ? So our mission is to watch all of the canon Star Wars films and TV shows in chronological order .
We're going to break them down , connect some dots and learn a little bit more about star wars together and a little bit more about ourselves , because we all we've seen a lot of star wars , but all of us have not seen all of the star wars . So I think it's gonna be .
You haven't seen all of the star wars . Is there something you have ?
I have not . I have not seen all of rebels , so I'm really looking forward to that . I am . I've been itching to watch it . I've only seen like the first two ish seasons , three seasons of rebels and manic is dark fast . But no , there's quite a bit of Star Wars stuff that I haven't seen and , of course , seven season of the seasons of the Clone Wars .
I don't remember all of it .
Yeah .
So you know , it's nice to look at this with fresh eyes and to watch it in chronological order . So it's , it's a lot of fun . I'm enjoying myself . I'm enjoying this ride so far , so all right . Uh , warning , there will be spoilers . So if you haven't seen what we're , uh , what we're gonna be watching you were supposed to then there may be some spoilers .
And speaking of spoilers , uh , and homework , what was the homework ? Well , we're going to be watching episodes five , six , seven and eight of season one of the clone wars . So these all came out between october and november of the year 2008 and they take place 22 bby .
And if you're not familiar with bby , aby that means before the battle of yavin , and aby is after the battle of yavin . So the events in star wars , new hope , the first film that came out in 1977 they're considered year zero on the chronological timeline . So anything that happens before that is bby , anything that happens after that is aby .
So when you do hear us referring to it , that's what the hell we're talking about . So this week there was a some really good clone trooper . It was a mini arc of more about the depth of Anakin's feelings , disguised as two bad episodes about droids . It wasn't actually two bad episodes about droids .
It was actually two mediocre episodes about the depth of anakin's feelings , and we're going to get more into that . And there was the filler episode . This is probably universally accepted as a filler episode . So , um episode five , which was rookies , that was , uh , the highlight , I think , of this four-episode bunch that we watched this week . So let's go around .
Who wants to jump on it , jump on it .
I'll go , just because I don't think I know as much as you two do , because I fell asleep .
several we saw some of this in the first episode , uh , with yoda , I think it's called ambush um starting to see the personalities of the clones and starting to really understand that they are more than just , you know , blaster fodder and , I think , going forward and this is a prediction , I guess Going forward for the show for me , because I've seen very little
Of Clone Wars , I think that's what I'm looking forward to the most Is getting to know these clones and having a relationship with these clones .
Because in the live action movies you know , prior to the clone wars coming out , and the clone wars cartoon , we only see the clones in really in battle sequences , in attack of the clones , the end of attack of the clones and revenge of the Sith . So to us , that's what they were , was blaster fodder until the Clone Wars .
Nameless , faceless soldiers .
Right , and so now we're starting to have relationships with these characters and I think , going forward , that's what I'm most excited about .
You won't be disappointed .
¶ Clone Troopers Dynamic and Storylines
The droid arc , I don't know .
Hold on , hold , on , hold on . We'll get to it . All right , we'll just do that separately . Yeah , yeah , we're going to do the droid arc separately .
We probably Can we just not even talk about the droid ?
arc . We'll talk about it . I think we'll be able to dive a little bit deeper on the droid arc . Tony , I want to hear your thoughts on Rookies .
So I really like this episode . I agree with all the points that Louis made . I very much am looking forward to getting to know some characters that are not Force-sensitive , that tend to be background people , but that have full , rich lives and experiences . I want to see that . I want to understand that .
As much as I have enjoyed all the live action stuff that I've watched and has come out recently for me , I think my favorite is still Andor out of all those things . Just because it was that it was hey , just because somebody isn't force-sensitive and carries a lightsaber doesn't mean they don't have a great story arc .
So I'm really enjoying that and , as you know , I recently bought a five-book series all on Clowdrippers and I'm looking forward to going through and reading that . I'm a little bit hesitant to start just because I don't know whether or not any of that is going to spoil anything that we're going to see .
No , it's all legends . None of that is canon Cool . However , there are things in that book series that you may recognize that have been picked up and dropped into the canon , repurposed somewhere else . Yes , exactly picked up and dropped into the cannon , repurposed somewhere else . Yeah , yes , yes , exactly like and like before .
I remember when we , when we on our other show , we were talking about uh , what was it into the garbage chute , and we had been , you know , we were covering uh , bad batch um and how I really kind of rather despise the bad batch um and I kept saying that it it should have been this other story action yeah , no , no , no yeah , it should have been .
It should have been the story what tony's reading , yeah , and then so , tony , as you're reading , as you're going through that journey , you might start seeing that as well . You'll see where the bad batch was , kind of . Maybe some things were pulled from that .
But then anything Mandalorian related , you're going to see how much of that came from these books , so all written by Karen Travis , the mother of Mandalore .
Very nice . The other thing that I will say I liked about this episode was that it didn't have the whiny droid voice , because that voice annoys the shit out of me .
Well , the commando droids are like Roger Roger yeah .
Yeah , they were beastly . I understand that they're going to play it for comedy . Yeah , they did it , even in the live action stuff in the movies I get it , but there's just something about them being so fucking stupid . And then , on top of that , having that voice , it just drives me insane .
Like if we come across an episode that heavily features both them and Jarder , I'm going to have a problem . So I'm going to hope that we don't get that . But we'll see , we'll see .
There's a three episode arc that it's just two of the battle droids that are lost on a planet and their interactions with each other and they're coming to grow as individual droids and you get basically a full hour and a half of nothing but the two of them .
I mean that could be interesting , for the storyline at least .
So that's not true . That's not true at all .
I just and here trying to get a reaction out of you , and it didn't work no , no , I got it because he was , he was .
He paused for a second . He was like how can I say this and not sound like a jerk ? How can I say this and still be kind of diplomatic ? No , they just stay dumb . They don't get any better . Like you , like you said , tony , they're the comic relief yeah , so that's my thoughts on that all right .
So I really like this episode because this is the first time . It's the second time we actually see rex , but it's the first time in the series that we see rex and cody and this really cool dynamic that they have . Um , I like how cody called rex old boy , you know well , you know , you know what , what's your plan , and open this door , old boy you know .
And rex , of course , rex was a savage in this episode . He had jokes , he was breaking necks . I mean , he had , he had the good plan . Cody's like this is never gonna work . Rex made it work .
Rex made it happen because rex is the man and he one-shotted that giant eel , that gigantic rock eel , one-shotted him blam right in eyeball and he ended up giving um echo , I think , gave echo the the palm print because it was fives and echo that yeah , I did recognize when they , when they mentioned him by name , I was .
That was very exciting so we do have to do a remembering the fallen segment , because you know how we're going to start making a wall of of clone troopers that get really , really fucked up , cut up , cut up , man , thoughts and prayers . You were eaten alive by a giant rock eel . So , thoughts and prayers , brother clone , you were avenged by captain Rex .
We got to put him on a t-shirt Again . He goes into the Hall of Remembrance and we're going to put him on a t-shirt because thoughts and prayers and Heavy making the ultimate sacrifice . I mean Heavy , I mean he took it to him . He grabbed that blaster , that giant Gatling blaster , I think it's like a Z9 or a Z7 or something like that .
He handled his business and he made the ultimate sacrifice .
You know I have a question related to this episode . So we're watching these movies and shows in chronological order storyline-wise . But if I remember correctly and you can correct me if I'm wrong the first episode of season three of this show is a flashback to some of these clones in training . Is that incorrect ?
yeah , that's where we meet heavy and that's where we meet like later , later echo , and yeah , I think it's , I think it's like episode one of season three and it's called like training or something like that oh no , that's not them you ? Oh , it's not the first , the one with yoda no , no , no in season three episode .
Oh yes , yes , yes , I think there's a flashback episode showing these clones in training because they're .
They're wearing their real right technically .
Wouldn't we need to have watched that one before this one ?
Well , not if it's a flashback To keep in chronological order Well , not if it's a flashback .
Well , they don't really show it as a flashback , I know but it's .
Do we really want to do that ?
Come on , man , come on , and technically I shouldn't even know that yet . So when we get to that episode I'll remember to give you shit then .
That's fine . So this does . I'm sorry , go ahead .
This does remind me of a point that I thought of last week and didn't bother to mention it . But when we watched the Clone Wars movie , you said it took place in between seasons of the show . Yes , Yet we were introduced to .
Ahsoka yeah , which at this point we're just assumed to know right away , and it's like , but if she was only introduced here , but whatever , so it all takes place during like 22 BBY . Uh-huh .
So , and it's still it's , we're gonna . They do jump around a little bit in the series , but that is still the first appearance of Ahsoka , first appearance of Rex we're seeing that all for the first time . The first appearance of Asajj Ventress outside of the micro series Basically everybody except Grievous . Yes , yeah , pretty much . And I , oh man , I wish that .
Uh , unless we missed it or we didn't get to it yet . Oh no , it's not canon , I don't think so grievous is cough oh no , that's in , um , that's that's in the micro series . That's in the micro series . Yeah , it's not's not yeah . I know exactly what you're going to do .
They didn't show that when we watched the micro series .
We still have two more parts . We still have two more parts . I think we will get that .
That's the non-canon version .
That is a non-canon and it would be out of the chronological order .
Yeah .
And that's what's weird is because he gets his cough .
And then , five minutes later , goes and captures Palpatine .
No , that's as he was bugging out . Well , yeah , that's right With Palpatine . Yeah , he was bugging out . Well , yeah , that's right with palpatine . Yeah , he was bugging out with right . So he gets his cough in between what episodes ? Two and three ? In between attack of the clones and revenge of the sith .
That's when he literally , like , literally , like five seconds before right right and then and then .
This , the clone wars series , takes place in that same time frame between the two so I have an interesting question then , and this is slightly off topic .
But in the clone wars does anakin never in the cartoon clone wars does anakin never meet Grievous at all the entire series . Because when they meet on the bridge that's the first time they've met .
I thought you'd be taller .
I thought you'd be taller .
And as we were watching this last week , during the episode where they were on Grievous' ship , they got on his ship and I was thinking about that . I was like wait a minute , Does he meet him here ? But they don't . Ship's passing in the night .
And that's Dave Filoni's genius right . If he can really keep that up for seven straight seasons where Anakin and Grievous never actually meet , that's wild .
Yeah , so I think that's exactly what happens , because that's Dave and he's a motherfucker man . He's our lord and savior , dave Filoni . I need a button for him . I mean , applause isn't enough . So all right , so that's a . That's episode five , rookies . Uh , again , thoughts and prayers to our fallen , cut up and heavy . Uh , well done , lads .
You will be remembered . Moving on to the droids , so episode five and six droid downfall . I'm sorry . Episode six and seven droid downfall and duel of the droids . Um , a bunch of shit happens . R2 gets captured . We gotta go rescue R2 so there's nothing so I have a
couple of questions we continue to see how badass of a droid R2 is , but that's unnecessary . You know what I mean ? I don't know .
But again we're seeing that side of Anakin . Again this is yes , it was . These were booty episodes . They're just . If you don't see the depth , they're easy to call filler , throw them away . You don't need to watch them .
But there was a specific scene when Anakin and Obi-Wan and Obi-Wan says he's just a droid and the camera does a close-up of Anakin's fist balling up . You know you know for Anakin and , like he said at the end of um , uh , dual , of the droids , he's more than a droid , he's my friend . Again , we're seeing the depth of Anakin's compassion .
Yes , he risked his entire fleet is his men , ahsoka , and his own life to save a droid and he pitched it like well he's . You know he's got all the plans . You know he's got all of our tactical plans . He's got all of our schematics , all of our base locations . Anakin didn't give a shit about any of that . He couldn't care less .
He wanted he was gonna save his friend yeah you're right .
If you look at it from that point of view , like , yes , I now I kind of feel stupid that I didn't like it , but because you're right , but but you're right , like in the overarching , like it took two episodes of fluff for that to happen .
But if you're really like , if anakin skywalker is one of your favorite characters and or your favorite character as he is for very a lot of people , um , I could see how this is important because you you get to see , even if just for a couple of seconds , a different side of him .
Yeah , he's , he's building on that . And you saw that that dark moment , when he was standing in front of that Trandoshan alone , ahsoka wasn't there to check him . You know , he , you could see it on his face , like when Anakin gets that that like angry badger face . He , you could see it on his face , like when Anakin gets that that like angry badger face .
He's just like , yeah , that oh shit .
It's like that's exactly what it is . I think we should call it Anakin's oh shit face , Because not like he's saying oh shit , but we're saying oh shit . He's about to dip his toes into the dark side pool here out of love . It's like I'm going , my love is going to cause me to murder everyone here in order for me to get back my droids .
So I look at it , I look at his relationship with R2 and just I think of everything he's lost from when he was a kid . I mean all the pain every time he has to even set foot on his home planet and he has to think about what happened to his mother and everything . And R2 is the one final good connection he has to that .
¶ Uncovering Connections in Star Wars
And 3PO . I think 3PO to a much lesser extent because he'd only ever really started building him . He hadn't finished him . It just wasn't the same thing .
Isn't that interesting though .
Yeah , he basically grew up with R2 .
He had R2 , but I do find that interesting that he is every . We hear c3 3pl say it so many times thank the maker , anakin's the maker , but he doesn't have that . He doesn't seem to have that , that same connection . Um , however , however , there is . Oh man , can we talk about it ? Fuck it , we're gonna talk about it .
Um , there's that scene in empire strikes back , where fett is about to blast on chewbacca and 3po and vader stops him from doing it . He physically reaches out and pushes Fett's gun down .
Could that be that he still feels he recognizes C-3PO and he that's some tinge of nostalgia , that a little bit of the light side peeks . So now you're , now you're assuming that in that moment of filming George knew that Anakin had built three PO .
So now he had already thought of that idea for the origin of three PO had Dave Filoni written and directed that , yes , I would have said yes , but George Lucas makes shit up on the fucking fly . Like I , however , george did build the the world . You know he's a great world builder , so I I don't know . I don't know if he had that in mind or not .
I haven't really done a deep dive research on that as to why . I know there's been there's been speculation over that , like why did vader not let fett blast them ? Was it because of 3po ?
I mean , was it because of leia ? Was leia not in front of chewbacca ?
chewbacca was bringing up the rear right but at that point I think he pushed away like chewy was on his own and I think he was .
I think because he still had 3po on his back correct , he'd have to rewatch when they got in the falcon right , but I think because r2 opened the door and I thought , like honder , like lando , goes in first leia behind lando and chewy brings up the rear with 3po .
So unless he no , this I'll take . No , this is all in the carbon chamber . This is all . Oh , when , when , he starts freaking out yes , and he like knocks a stormtrooper off the platform I know okay , boba's about to , you know , put some rounds down range and vader stops him from doing it . I don't know why .
I don't know if don't know if that's been brought up or not . We'll have to look into that and check it out and see . But yeah , there's a lot of depth , the Anakin Vader character . There is a lot of depth there that I think it's glossed over . So , louis , like you said , we got a little bit of it in these two episodes .
Did we need two episodes to see it ? I don't know .
That's a fair point Now for me . I will say it was nice to have the explanation of hey , some reason of hey .
We never did wipe the droid Right , and I will say that I did find it intriguing , at least to think that a non-combatant droid could be a spy Like that was interesting and it's something that I'm curious if that ever comes up again in the future , because that was that's . That's an interesting thought .
Well , we got in the in the movie , in the clone wars animated film , we had that , that protocol droid that was , you know , a double agent . So we got to see that Cause he was working for aajj . Um , and then in this one we had r3 . Is it s6 or 6s ? R3 , s6 or 6 ? Anyway , r3 , s6 , s6 , 6 , s6 I want to say s6 because it sounds like s6 .
So I'm sure there's some behind that . But but my question is how the fuck did he get into the Republic service ? Anyway , like you got this droid in the middle of a group of high-ranking Jedi generals and a bunch of clones . Had that been like a bomb droid ? That would have been it .
That would have been it like series inspired by George Lucas George Lucas , thank you . That would have been it . That would have been like series inspired by george lucas george , george lucas , thank you . That would have been it . That would have been a wrap on the entire series , right there . Yep . So how ?
¶ Anakin's Struggles and Jar Jar's Heroism
That's what I want to know . What is the story behind r3s6 or 6s ? Fuck , now I need to look it up , um , because I want to know . Now I , I want to know , like , how did that damn droid get into ? I mean that was they were . That's as deep as you could get . I mean that was like the inner circle right there . You had Ahsoka , you had Anakin .
I mean everybody was just right there .
Yeah , and like it begs the question of not only did you have that droid there , you had that droid there just at the right time after R2 got somehow taken out , which I have other questions about , because my understanding is that the astromech droids help provide life support and everything else to the ship .
So how the fuck did Anakin disappear , not get found for a while , the droids out , and yet somehow he's just fine , right , right . So I'm looking at storytelling um so I don't know .
It's uh , it's not really saying anything about where the name comes from . R3 is probably just the new model , um , so it it takes place in the the series sixth episodes . I don't know if that has anything to do it , but it says here that , uh , r3's black and gold color scheme was inspired by feloni's love of the pittsburgh steelers .
Interesting , there you go , there you go all right . So one thing that I I really do . There's a lot of things I do love about the clone wars , but one thing that I really do , there's a lot of things I do love about the Clone Wars , but one thing that I really , really love is the layers and the depth , like we're seeing right now .
You know , louis , like you know you'd said , you know if you look a little bit deeper oh yeah , if you think about it from a different lens right , we're seeing . We're seeing more of Anakin's struggle with attachment .
You know , which is a common theme throughout his entire career is his struggle with attachment , which ultimately is , I think , the contributing factor to him going to the dark side , which he never really does , he never really fully gives into it yeah , I feel like he's a product of jedi well , jedi ignorance too , like if you , if , if , if .
If anakin and padme had not been so scared that they would be caught , does any of this still happen ? I think that Anakin's stress over losing Padme is very linked to him knowing how wrong it is that they're together to begin with .
Oh , absolutely . But if there wasn't ?
a problem with the two of them being together if they could have been public with their relationship , which would have been against jedi policy . However , ultimately , their policy is what ended up killing all of them you know what ?
I think ? I think it might have actually been worse for them had they been public , because then people I mean palpatine already knew . I mean he knew , he basically made it happen , he , yeah , but I'm I'm saying like the other agents , they're separatist agents .
I mean pretty much nobody made a move without palpatine , but I still feel like people would have sent agents against padme in order to get to skywalker . Um , potentially , I don't know , I mean they would have had to gone off somewhere , but he always would have had that , that fear of loss , I mean because he lost his , lost his mom , and what ?
Attack of the clones , right ? So this all takes place after attack of the clones . So he's still living with that grief . Yeah , that was probably never processed properly , because the jedi are like oh , you're not supposed to have attachments . Just , you know , let it go . You know , I think that's that was yoda's advice at one point .
You have to be able to let it go and I'm like okay , yoda , I you've never got asked , so maybe that's easy for you to say .
Well , I mean , you know this whole thing Until we find out that Grogu is actually his kid and we're like woo , you go Yoda .
Him and Yaddle Yoda and Yaddle .
I mean honestly .
I feel like you know the series is , you know the season , at least , is over now .
But I mean , this goes back to the Acolyte too the whole thing of Osha not being able to let go yeah .
Yeah , very true , and the Jedi , the Sith , embrace that . They use that fear for power , and the Jedi suppress it , which I find very interesting . It's like they , the jedi , know the power of , of fear .
Um , but instead of learning and this is something that sherry had said too it's like instead of learning how to harness it and to use it for good they're scared of that they're scared of . They're afraid of fear . You know , the only thing to fear is fear itself . The jedi are afraid of fear .
Instead of trying to conquer the fear , you hide from it , you suppress it , you don't acknowledge it , and we see how , because fear is the path to the dark side right , but they should take their own advice and not be afraid of the fear . Correct , they shouldn't be fearful of the fear Correct .
They shouldn't be fearful of the fear .
That's right . Don't fear the fear , don't fear the Reaper , all right . So episode eight , bombad Jedi . We see the rise of Darth Jar Jar or , as he was called , jedi Master Bombad . We see the rise of Darth Jar Jar or , as he was called , jedi Master Bombad . So , in my opinion , ladies and gentlemen I will rarely say this it's a filler and can be skipped .
However , however .
Tony , you had mentioned something about how we don't get to see Padme be a badass . She was kind of a badass in this . I mean , she fucked up . A bunch of droids took their guns .
She kicked some ass in this episode she did and I respect that and as much as as much as I agree that this is a filler episode and that there that can definitely be skipped and as much as I don't like is a filler episode and that it can definitely be skipped , and as much as I don't like the character of Jar Jar , I will say it was refreshing to see
him try to step up . Okay , yes , he fucks up a lot of shit in this episode and causes half the problems that they run into , but at least least as opposed to , we've seen him in live action . He's not a coward , he's willing to step up and do what he can . So minor points for that .
You know what ? That is a great point , tony . That is a great point . He did step up and he threw himself headlong into the action to save Padme . He was a hero , absolutely 100% . So that is yeah . Yep , I agree .
Louis , good job Jar Jar , that's all you got . Yeah , yep , I agree , louie , good job Jar Jar , that's all you got . I mean I hated it . I fell asleep twice . Yeah , it's bad , I agree .
I mean , I guess , again , looking at it through a different lens , we do get to see him kind of like his growth as a character , right , because the first time we're introduced to him he's a big , giant coward . Even in the Battle of Naboo , you know , he lucked his way through .
You know what he did in this and he was still scared even in that and this he he definitely stepped up , so sure but it was just like .
maybe we could have seen it in a different light , though . I mean , whatever I mean , I , I , tony , I do . I agree with you . I think if you really look at his actions , you know he tried to communicate with the swamp when they first got there , tried to communicate with the denizens of that swamp , because he's a swampy guy . Didn't work out .
And , uh , he , I did like . I did like when he , when he found the robe in the closet and you know , he was like , oh , this looks like a Jedi robe , who could have left this here . It's like , oh , we know , we know who left that Jedi robe in there .
Mm-hmm , so they don't have cars to get busy in the backseat of , but they've got some Nubian starfighters right to get busy in . So that was a little interesting , okay , anyway . But yeah , he did , he climbed up the vines at that tall tower . I mean he went for it . I mean he did , he went for it . And Padme whooped some ass . She got herself .
She was not the damsel in distress , she got herself out of her cuffs . We get to see her in bondage again good job , padme . Thank you next seriously , come on man . Yes , it's a filler episode , but it was rough .
We do get to see look padme was being a badass .
We got to see . Look , padme was being a badass . We got to see again , she rescued herself , pretty much , you know , and Jar Jar made the attempt . So bravery on the . We got to see a little growth for Jar Jar . We got to see more Padme being a badass and her little tight , tighty whitey and . But , as as I was watching it , it's .
It's funny because , like the , the animation I mean it , the style of it is really cool , like I like the painterly style of it , that look .
But the animation it doesn't really hold up , especially when they're running , because she looked like playstation one , laura croft running across that bridge like , oh , so it gets better , though obviously over time it gets better , so all right . So three worth a watch , one potentially skip it I .
I would skip the last one , the jar jar one . I don't feel like I got anything out of that . I even even with that little bit of growth from jar jar like he's just not , I know , going forward . He's not an impactful character on the series .
So what are you talking about ? He causes all of it . He's literally the reason that everything happens . He is darth jar . He is Darth Banks Louie . How could you say he's not impactful ? Do you even Star Wars , bro , Do you ?
even Star Wars .
He's the key to everything . It's not his fault . He's the one that made the motion in the Senate .
I know , but that wasn't his fault . That's what they told him to do . He was manipulated into doing it .
He could have said no .
Jar Jar thinks that he could have .
He could have , but he wouldn't because he wants to be everybody's friend . He's a good guy . I want to see a whole series with Jar Jar , Good job .
Jar Jar , all right .
Good job , all right . So homework for next week , season one , episode nine , 10 , 11 , and 12 . So it's going to be more getting to know the clones , getting to know this new universe , one of my favorite episodes that I've seen is in this next batch . Is it really ?
