I'm stoked to dive into it . I'm

2:49

ready to start .

2:50

I'm not going to give you spoilers , but while listening

2:52

to the audiobook , just because it's easier

2:54

. While I'm working , because

2:56

I do work a crazy full-time job

2:58

.

2:59

Yeah .

3:07

I was sitting there with my Star Wars Wikipedia page up and like googling names , as

3:09

I heard it , and different like species and planets and ships , because

3:12

I'm a very visual person , I

3:14

need to see it in front of me to get

3:16

like more engaged with the story

3:18

and , being the High Republic , we don't

3:21

really know anybody from the stories

3:23

, so it'll

3:25

be exciting yeah , and so then I bought

3:27

the encyclopedia because

3:30

, um , to be helpful

3:32

, I like visuals .

3:34

As I stated , it's difficult

3:36

when there's no face at all

3:38

or like known pictures and

3:41

so um , I'm getting like .

3:43

I just uh messaged rachel

Ooh .

4:26

I also want to talk about

4:28

something rad that everybody did this week .

4:30

What was that ? I was ?

4:30

your April 8th . What was April 8th ? Oh , it was good , I was off

4:32

work . It was , you know

4:35

, we all know . I talked about my , my preteen , my

4:37

12 year old love him to death . He

4:40

was off of school as well . He

4:42

was off school . He um , they

4:46

just happened to have the eighth off , so

4:48

I was like I'll take the day off , we'll hang out , we'll watch

4:50

the eclipse . And so the

4:54

eclipse happens and he's like that's

4:57

it , it's not gonna get darker , oh

4:59

, I went on totality

5:01

, buddy , I know , but we were told

5:03

it was like 95 , 96%

5:05

totality , so I was thinking maybe

5:08

like 95 , 96%

5:11

darkness . Yeah , it

5:13

was not . It was still really cool . We

5:16

heard all the birds and the bugs and

5:18

everything go quiet . And

5:21

the temperature definitely dropped

5:23

dramatically , which was really cool .

5:26

Um yeah , mine was

5:28

also pretty freaking cool . Um , eric

5:31

and I went up to okay

5:33

. So there's the story . I have tea to spill

5:35

. First there is , uh

5:37

, there . This , this eclipse

5:39

vacation started off with some , some

5:41

drama and some crying , so

5:44

we had

5:46

this place booked for a year and a half . Adri

5:48

, mark's wife Mark

5:50

is Eric's older brother . Yeah

5:52

, she

5:55

booked this place like a year and a half ago

5:57

as soon as she found out

5:59

that

6:01

this was going to happen .

6:03

We both did it . No , it's fine , we both did it .

6:06

I'm gonna put your book down here , though , okay . Okay

6:09

. So she booked this place like a year and a half ago , as

6:11

soon as we found out the eclipse was going to happen , and

6:13

it was a place up by Springfield

6:16

Frederickstown I think it was .

6:18

It was in the path of totality Okay so I was

6:20

confused when you said Eureka Springs

6:23

.

6:23

Okay , yeah , because we were supposed to go up by St

6:25

Louis St Louis , not Springs , because

6:27

that was in the path of totality and we're like

6:30

it's so close , we'll just drive there

6:32

and make a weekend of it , right ? So

6:34

a year and a half passes , we're all getting ready

6:36

to go . It is the night

6:38

that Eric and I are about to leave

6:40

and drive to his mom's house , are

6:43

about to leave and drive to his mom's house because we're going

6:45

to stay the night with her and then carpool with her up to st louis instead

6:47

of freaking . Everybody's car mark and adrie headed

6:49

out that night and we're heading up

6:51

there to , uh , or the day that we were

6:53

all supposed to leave . They were heading up

6:56

towards our place in st louis and they were like let's just

6:58

call and get like our code and all that stuff

7:00

ahead of time . Make sure it's all squared away . They

7:02

call , and they call , and they call , and the phone rings

7:04

and rings and like no number no

7:06

no nothing . They can't get a hold of anybody

7:09

at all , and so they were like

7:11

, oh well , this is the problem . So

7:13

they call airbnb and they're like hey , we're

7:15

on our way to this house . We don't have any codes or anything

7:18

like it's been booked for a year and a half . We

7:20

can't get a hold of anybody , and they were were like

7:22

okay , well , hold on , we have , you

7:24

know , like emergency numbers and things like that , yeah

7:26

. So they were like hang on , yeah , I you

7:29

know , we don't know , but we'll see if we can get

7:31

a hold of them . So they

7:33

call and call , and call and call and

7:36

they can get a hold of nobody . So

7:39

Airbnb is like okay

7:41

, we don't know what happened .

7:42

We're going to have to investigate this further .

7:44

In the meantime , we're going to give you a partial

7:47

refund and put you in another place , you

7:49

know , for no extra cost at all , another

7:51

place in the area , and she's like okay

7:53

, cool , it's totality

7:56

of eclipse there is nothing

7:58

Forever Booked

8:00

ours a year and a half ago . Oh man

8:02

yeah yeah , so there's nothing available

8:04

. So they're like oh no , um

8:07

, so sorry , here's a full

8:09

refund . We don't know what to do right

8:12

because at that point it's like we

8:15

can't really blame airbnb

8:17

for shady stuff the owner's doing , and

8:19

it turns out the owner had

8:21

sold the house but never updated

8:23

the listing . Just kept collecting people's money . Oh

8:25

my god , like nobody ever knew

8:28

. So the new owner is just like I don't . I

8:30

don't know what you're talking about this . Uh , we

8:32

don't have an airbnb .

8:33

You know , we use our house

8:35

for only us I say I've heard of

8:38

airbnb hosts , um , for

8:40

like big events , like they'll cancel

8:42

people , yeah , and then rebook

8:44

it with somebody else at a higher price to

8:46

get more money . So frustrating

8:49

.

8:49

So this was just straight up fraud . He was just like I'm gonna

8:51

take all your money and you don't get a place to stay so

8:54

we were like oh , no , and adri

8:56

is a freaking rock star and

8:59

she scrambled around and happened to

9:01

find this absolutely beautiful

9:04

, perfect place in yourureka Springs

9:06

, like just like 15 minutes outside

9:08

of Eureka Springs . Okay , nice . And it

9:10

wasn't 100% totality , which is a bummer

9:12

, because we were supposed to have that , but we

9:14

had like 98.3% totality

9:16

, so we got a heck

9:19

of a good show . It was beautiful

9:21

and , like you were talking about the degree Like

9:23

we felt like a 5 to 10 degree temperature

9:25

drop .

9:28

And that was that was really cool . Yeah , I thought that

9:30

was really cool . But , Owen was like oh , that's

9:32

it . Oh , like after

9:35

, like it moved back , like as it was

9:37

moving past it . He's like I'm going to go back in and play

9:39

video games . I'm like whatever

9:41

.

9:41

2045 , we'll have to go to Ketown . Yeah , 2045 , we'll

9:43

have to go to the cabin . Yeah , so but , it

9:45

really illustrates . We were talking while

9:47

we were watching it about how

9:49

powerful the sun

9:52

you know , and it's rays are because

9:54

we were at , I mean , 1.7%

9:58

of the sun we could see , that's all

10:00

and we were still , like you could see just

10:02

fine , and it wasn't freezing . Our sun is powerful . It's

10:04

like our sun is powerful .

10:06

It's pretty amazing I mean , yeah

10:09

, we're a lot closer than what . Six

10:11

other point , five other , no , there's

10:13

only eight planets now so five other

10:15

planets , pluto's , not a planet .

10:17

Our poor childhood

10:20

, they took pluto they have been ruining our

10:22

childhood like three

10:24

or four times a year , every year

10:26

since we became adults yeah

10:28

, it's like more and more things come out and you're

10:30

like , oh , but you know what's great

10:33

?

10:34

we got fun Star Wars stories . We do have Star Wars

10:36

stories and we probably get into them

10:38

.

10:38

Like I didn't realize , we've been chatting for 10

10:41

oh , 10 minutes okay

10:44

, well , thanks for being such a support . The eclipse

10:46

was cool . The eclipse was cool . While

10:50

I'm editing this , when it drops on Friday , I'll toss in some pictures

10:52

, and we also have

10:54

some videos from us watching the eclipse

10:56

that'll be dropping probably

10:59

today .

11:01

I haven't been home very long .

11:03

I haven't been home very long , so I haven't had time to put everything

11:05

together . That's fine . I'm sorry

11:07

.

11:09

Life happens and Denise almost

11:11

just knocked everything over , so let's just keep

11:13

going . Okay , maybe we won't do that .

11:17

All right , so I

11:19

have the first story from

11:22

A New Hope . So , during production

11:24

on A New new hope , filming for the scenes on

11:26

tatooine were shot in pelagia , tunisia

11:29

, tunisia , tunisia

11:33

. It was the perfect location for the dry

11:35

, sandy environment of luke's home world

11:37

, owing to the fact that it hadn't rained there

11:39

in seven years . But mother nature

11:41

had different ideas . Seven years

11:43

, seven years it had not rained in this

11:45

place for seven years

11:48

.

11:48

So I guess that does make it the perfect place for kathleen

11:50

, because I don't think kathleen had seen rain

11:52

in a very , very long time . Yeah , it's just sand

11:54

and they have to have their moisture far

11:57

.

11:58

Well , this day they didn't , because just after

12:00

they arrived in tunisia , the heavens opened

12:03

up and the area experienced

12:05

the heaviest rainfall

12:07

in an entire generation Every

12:10

four days straight , causing

12:13

filming to delay and damaging some of the

12:15

sets . That's like our luck , I

12:17

know I've

12:19

trained . In seven years here's a flood

12:21

.

12:22

Oh my gosh that

12:25

sucks . And they traveled all that way to Tun flood . Oh my gosh that sucks . And they traveled all that

12:27

way to film Through

12:29

Tunisia , to have it just .

12:33

They're like perfect place . Desert Hasn't

12:35

rained in almost a decade . We'll be totally

12:38

fine the day they get

12:40

there .

12:40

They also filmed some of the scenes in

12:43

Death Valley , didn't they ? In California ? But

12:45

those are the ones with the Banthas .

12:47

Yeah , those are the ones with Bantha , and Alex

12:50

Guinness Guinness

12:52

.

12:53

No , alex , it's not Guinness

12:56

beer , alex , alex

13:00

, I need a drink after work .

13:02

Oh no , I can't remember his last name . Alex was

13:05

the bantha , the elephant trainer , oh , but

13:09

. Margie was the

13:12

elephant that they used and they were all

13:14

shot in . Who

13:17

else we got Okay ?

13:23

What You're laughing , and I don't

13:25

like laughing and not knowing what's going

13:27

on .

13:28

Okay , so

13:30

the costume that

13:33

Anthony Daniels wore for A

13:35

New Hope when he was P3O

13:38

3PO .

13:40

You always say P3O .

13:42

I know 3PO .

13:45

Well , there's three that's P3O

13:48

. Yeah , so you always say P2 . Yeah

13:51

, but it's kind of weird . But it's

13:53

okay , I know .

13:54

We love you anyways .

13:57

You might get us canceled . We'll be safe . I'm

13:59

sorry .

14:00

But I realize I'm doing it .

14:02

Original character's name wrong . How dare

14:05

you say PO

14:07

instead of 3PO ? You

14:09

call yourself a fan . You

14:12

are a disgrace to

14:14

the whole fandom .

14:16

Shame myself , shame , shame .

14:20

The sad thing is , there are people out there that do that

14:22

.

14:23

I know If this makes it into the right ears that'll

14:26

happen .

14:26

I got laughed at because I said I was excited

14:28

for the main character in the new Star Wars Outlaws

14:30

game because it's a female . I'm

14:33

not a very attractive one at that .

14:34

Who cares ? Kick them in the nuts

14:37

Internet , internet , internet

14:39

Alright so

14:43

the costume that Anthonyony daniels wore for a

14:45

new hope was extremely uncomfortable

14:47

. It took hours to put on

14:49

and , according to daniels , the

14:51

sharp edges hurt him with every single step

14:53

that sounds like wearing a stormtrooper

14:56

, armando a little bit , yeah , except

14:59

worse even less

15:01

mobility . I don't say that thing's like skin

15:03

tight , can't even

15:05

like put your arms all the way down .

15:07

I'd say you got no like mobility from

15:09

side to side .

15:11

Pieces often fell off or broke . That's

15:13

what I was giggling about , and the first time

15:15

that Daniel's put the costume on , the entire left

15:17

leg shattered the

15:19

whole thing just came apart .

15:21

I'm having flashbacks to when I broke my

15:23

shin on my mando . Yeah

15:26

, I completely . I

15:28

was taking a picture in the snow , trying

15:31

to climb up on a log , to

15:34

get on the log and take a really cool picture , and

15:36

I slipped and I smacked right

15:38

into the piece of wood . That's

15:41

partly why he yeah , he

15:44

waddle .

15:48

I mean he can't't move .

15:49

You can't bend his legs , you can't , no , just

15:51

shuffle . This is all you can do . The pto

15:53

or p30 shuffle .

15:56

I was saying it for you it's

16:01

really hard for me to not add the three in front of the , the C3 of .

16:02

Temple . It's really hard for me to not add the 3 in front

16:04

of the C3 of Temple .

16:06

Like I know , every single time I do

16:08

it , I know what I'm doing , I'm not

16:10

just I bet you PO had BO in

16:12

the back . I

16:16

bet he did Alright

16:19

. Okay

16:22

, so we've got another story here , Detailed

16:24

in her 2008 autobiography

16:26

Wishful Drinking .

16:28

Oh , read that one .

16:30

Yep , it's about Lucas's

16:33

insistence that she did not wear a bra

16:35

in New Hope . Fisher

16:37

said years later that , according to Lucas , lingerie

16:40

doesn't exist in space , so as

16:43

the straps could end up strangling the wearer

16:45

in a zero gravity environment , playing

16:47

on that .

16:48

does that mean guys

16:50

don't wear underwear either ? I think so , Because

16:54

it'd get all jumbled up .

16:55

Because it would strangle you . Wait

16:59

what those would ? Be basically

17:02

strapped into a furniture dolly

17:04

, so he could rest . I've seen pictures

17:06

of that . I need a picture of that I

17:09

need to see it .

17:11

I hate the whole . There's no underwear

17:15

in space .

17:16

That's such a stupid thing .

17:18

It's so dumb . Was

17:21

it an issue in the first one ? Did he say it

17:23

in the first one ? Or did he say , bring it up in A Return of

17:25

the Jedi Because you wore the

17:27

bikini ?

17:30

No in A New Hope .

17:31

I think it was from A New Hope .

17:32

yeah , I think so too .

17:33

Yeah , yeah , insistence that she did not wear a bra in New

17:35

Hope Free-balling in space

17:38

.

17:39

I couldn't even . Oh , I gotta

17:41

plug my computer in real quick . Let

17:44

me finish the story .

17:45

I couldn't even imagine free-balling in space

17:47

, I'm just constantly like floating

17:50

around . Mom

17:54

the anti-gravity .

18:05

Blub , blub , blub , blub , blub , blub , blub , blub , blub , blub , blub , blub , blub , blub , blub , blub , blub , blub

18:07

, blub , blub , blub , blub , blub , bl . I don't know if I'm ever going to be able to get that sound out

18:09

of my head now . So , with this in mind , fisher often

18:11

said that for her obituary

18:13

I want it reported that I drowned

18:16

in moonlight , strangled by my own bra that

18:19

was like one of the stories that she

18:22

loved to tell anytime she

18:24

could talk about that story like

18:26

she was talking about that story

18:28

.

18:29

I need to plug the computer in real quick . I'm

18:32

sensing a theme every week , but

18:37

I like Carrie Fisher . If you have not

18:39

read any of her books like , I , highly

18:41

recommend it . They're

18:44

so good . Some

18:47

get a little bit deeper than others . Um

18:49

one of them , it like made

18:52

me bawl my eyes out but

18:54

like there's some ? um , where

18:56

was it ? The

19:01

one I can't remember . I think

19:03

her daughter may have read it , but

19:05

it was talking all about filming

19:08

Star Wars and a lot of it talked about her

19:10

affair that she had with Harrison Ford .

19:14

I don't know if I have read that one yet , but

19:17

I've heard a few of the stories from that am

19:21

I pushing you over ?

19:22

I don't think so .

19:24

I'm just wandering away , I'm very pushy

19:26

, so am . I Speaking

19:32

, though , of their romance In

19:38

the book , which was based on a diary Fisher

19:41

kept during A New Hope . Yeah , that's

19:43

got to be that one . Yeah , she claimed that she had

19:45

an affair with Harrison Ford during production . Ford

19:48

himself confirmed that the affair happened , but

19:50

has not chosen to elaborate out of respect for

19:52

Fisher , who died just a month after

19:54

the book was published .

19:56

The book was so good Like there's

19:58

so much tea in that book . It

20:01

was so great what

20:03

.

20:07

Oh , okay , I forgot about this . When you're gonna love it , all right , all right . While the late peter mayhew

20:10

may not have had a single speaking role in

20:12

all of star wars , the character he played , chewbacca

20:15

, is easily the most lovable

20:17

sidekick in the entire franchise . Yes

20:19

, but while the iconic wookiee is

20:21

recognizable on screen from afar , he

20:23

could be mistaken for something else entirely . Like

20:25

a bear or like Bigfoot Earth

20:28

, wookie Bigfoot . This

20:31

was the situation Mayhew found himself

20:33

in when filming the Endor scenes

20:35

of Return of the . Jedi in the Redwoods

20:37

. While shooting in

20:39

the Redwood Forest in Northern California

20:41

, Mayhew was escorted by men wearing orange

20:43

vests whenever he was in costume . Their

20:46

concern was that a hunter would mistake him

20:49

for a Sasquatch and shoot him .

20:51

I'm telling you like a Wookiee

20:53

. It makes you wonder Originally

20:57

, where did we ? We talked about

20:59

the look of Chewbacca

21:02

change and evolve over

21:06

time .

21:07

It was originally Did we talk about it in our Creatures

21:09

episode .

21:10

No , we did not . Oh

21:12

my goodness , now I can't

21:14

remember , but we talked about how he

21:16

evolved and it looked entirely

21:19

different . What

21:23

was it ? Or

21:31

was it that the Ewoks changed ? Oh my god , I can't

21:33

even remember because we talked about

21:35

how it changed . And the Ross ? Oh , okay , never

21:37

mind , I'm all right , I know I , we

21:39

got there . So originally we were talking

21:42

about when

21:44

we read warwick davis's book and him

21:46

being an ewok that originally

21:48

, in return of the jedi , they were going

21:50

to go back to the planet of kashyyyk

21:52

and have the wookies fight

21:54

um the empire

21:56

, but because of how

21:58

tabaka had been portrayed and being bigger

22:01

, stronger character , they didn't want to do that . That's

22:03

why they created the Ewoks , the

22:06

more primitive species . There we

22:08

go . I was like I know

22:10

we talked about this and I couldn't get to it

22:12

. We did , we did , we

22:14

got there . Good job . But it makes me wonder

22:16

when you created Chewbacca

22:19

, like , did he have inspiration

22:22

from Bigfoot stories ?

22:24

He had to right right . It looks too much like bigfoot

22:26

to have like no inspiration

22:29

so similar to bigfoot

22:31

.

22:31

I'm sure if you get a bigfoot specialist he would say

22:34

that they sound the same too . Oh

22:36

, I bet because of the long . That's

22:38

. What we also learned , too was the long vocal cords

22:40

are so stretched . Yes , when

22:42

we talked , that was our wookie versus

22:45

ewok episode . Oh yeah , there

22:47

we go . That's when we talked about it . We're

22:50

our sad attempts of trying to learn how to speak

22:52

. She woke .

22:53

Yes , they weren't great , but we

22:56

tried uh , so phil says

22:58

he got to meet peter mayhew in the early 2000s

23:00

and he was such a sweet , sweet man yes , I

23:02

got to meet him at celebration .

23:04

Four in la . I didn't buy

23:06

like the autograph or anything and this

23:08

was back in the time , because it was like 2004

23:11

or 5 . Okay , I walked

23:13

up and took a picture with him , oh

23:15

, and they didn't charge , like I was like hey

23:17

, I'm a fan . And I chit-chatted with them . I

23:20

was like , can I get a picture ? And he's like , yeah , can

23:22

I get a picture ? And he's like yeah sure , we took a picture

23:25

. We interacted I also did that with David Krauss , yeah

23:28

, and we met

23:31

Larry Baker . I

23:34

think I didn't get a picture with them but I

23:36

also All of the same .

23:38

Yeah .

23:38

Yeah , yeah . And this is back when , like

23:40

Luke Skywalker , so um Mark

23:45

Hamill's autograph was only like $60

23:47

back then , whoa , carrie Fisher's

23:49

$60 .

23:50

And back then it's wild to think of like .

23:52

And what's crazy was , back then I was complaining

23:55

about how expensive it was . I

24:04

was like God , this is way too much money for a celebrity . Like it's like it's just a signature

24:07

right . And now you're like hundreds . I'm gonna say some of them three , 350 . And I'm like this is astronomical

24:09

and it's not necessarily the celebrities that set the pricing .

24:11

Yeah , it's their teams and their agents and

24:13

their agencies .

24:14

I'm gonna say the people who set up all the a

24:17

lot of the cons sometimes cons

24:19

will have a set like this

24:21

is what you're trying to do because they have to make a certain

24:23

amount of money back to pay for

24:25

the celebrities

24:28

.

24:28

But I wish I would have got all those autographs

24:31

back then , I was a poor

24:33

college student right after

24:35

we graduated high school , like one or two years after

24:37

.

24:37

I was working at Disney at that time . That

24:39

was my first time I ever cosplayed

24:41

. I cosplayed as padme from

24:43

attack of the clones I

24:46

gotta find them that's the thing they're on

24:48

a hard drive somewhere , and

24:51

once you find them , then we'll put some stuff together

24:53

. I have moved several times

24:55

since then , so I don't know where the hard drive

24:57

is .

24:58

Well , you look . You

25:01

look and when you find them , we'll put them up . So

25:04

we've got the next one . Director Irving

25:06

Kirshner told of a particularly

25:08

memorable shot that was taken during one such

25:10

storm , while they were filming

25:13

on Hoth . They were like in the middle of like

25:15

blizzards and freezing winds

25:17

. So , Empire Strikes Back , yep . The

25:19

shot in question was a scene where Luke wanders

25:22

back to base after the Wampa attack , unable

25:25

to leave their hotel due to the winds

25:27

. The production

25:29

crew stayed at the entrance and filmed

25:31

while Mark Hamill wandered

25:33

around in the snow .

25:36

But it was too cold for everybody to go out , they just made him stay there . But it's

25:38

too cold for everybody to go out , but they would sit down , man

25:40

, they just made a stand , yeah

25:43

they shot from like the doorway

25:45

oh

25:49

sorry , bro , you're Luke . Skywalker

25:51

, you'll be fine . You're the face of the movie

25:53

, so you gotta do it .

25:55

Sorry , we can't afford to . Yeah , I've heard

25:57

that story

26:00

.

26:00

Do it ? Sorry , we can't afford to take these people . Yeah , I've

26:02

heard that story Because it got really

26:05

, really cold . Wasn't it like negative temperatures

26:07

Were they filmed at ?

26:08

I believe I would look it up , I

26:11

don't remember yeah .

26:12

I would look it up on my phone .

26:16

I would too , but I got my stories on my phone . Okay , back to funny

26:18

stories from the set of A New Hope , though . One of

26:20

the funniest behind-the-scenes stories was

26:23

while they were in Tunisia . So while shooting

26:26

scenes for Tatooine , the production crew for the biblical

26:28

epic Jesus of

26:30

Nazareth had set up shop nearby

26:32

. For the most part , the

26:35

two crews didn't bother each other very much , that

26:37

is , until one of the remote-controlled

26:39

R2 units malfunctioned , unable

26:42

to stop the droid which no longer

26:44

responded to radio control

26:47

the

26:49

crew watched helplessly as R2-D2

26:52

paid the folks at the Jesus of Nazareth

26:54

cinema visit .

26:56

Oh my gosh , All

26:58

these religious people are like what

27:01

in tarnations ? What in tarnations ?

27:06

No , they say tarnation in Tunisia

27:09

. Oh my gosh , it's like a

27:11

southern thing , right .

27:14

I don't know why I wasn't there with that .

27:19

They're like baby Jesus , and

27:21

here comes R2-D2 . What

27:23

is this ?

27:24

metal devil doing over here .

27:30

I love R2 . He is my favorite for so

27:32

many reasons .

27:34

He's also the most vulgar character in

27:36

um he's always being bleeped out

27:38

. Vulgar character . And um he's always being bleeped out . Mm-hmm . So

27:43

vulgar he could be

27:45

bleeped out all the time everything's

27:50

a poor little word .

27:55

Oh okay , all right let me look up my next

27:57

article .

27:58

Oh goodness , I

28:01

love R2 . R2's great

28:03

. He is my freaking favorite

28:06

. Oh , talking about where's my book ? Oh

28:08

, I put it right there . Yes , we're going

28:10

to my book . Well , I'll pick

28:12

that up . Okay , it's fine

28:15

. Denise is knocking over things when

28:17

?

28:18

is Well , you're looking for the next one

28:20

. While filming the Empire

28:22

Strikes Back , Fisher rented Eric

28:24

Idle's house .

28:25

Who's Eric Idle . He was in Monty Python

28:28

. Oh okay , my grandmother was obsessed

28:31

with Monty Python .

28:32

Yeah , oh yeah . I like Monty Python . It's

28:36

so fun Going

28:40

back to the baby Jesus and the

28:42

children shall lead . What the hell is that

28:44

? tin

28:47

can devil that's

28:52

probably one of my favorites . Oh

28:54

, okay , okay . The

28:57

Monty Python actor was still spending time

28:59

at the property while he was renting it , and

29:02

one night he invited the Rolling Stones over

29:04

. Fisher asked

29:06

Fisher

29:11

asked Harrison for to join too

29:13

, and the two actors drank and partied with

29:15

the band . The only problem was that they were due

29:17

on set in a few hours . We

29:21

weren't hungover , fisher said . About filming the scene

29:23

, we were still in our cups , so they were

29:25

still drunk . So what movie was

29:27

this for Empire ? And

29:30

if you watch the movie , you can see that Harrison

29:32

and I are smiling as we arrive in Cloud City

29:34

. Doesn't that sound like a euphemism

29:36

? I

29:41

like it . I don't keep getting so far away

29:43

from it .

29:44

I don't know , because I'm being pussy .

29:46

I don't think you are , though I

29:48

think I'm just wandering away . I found

29:50

what I wanted to show you though .

29:52

Yeah , let's do it . It's another droid . Oh

29:54

, who is he ? That is Astro-McDroidGT22

29:59

. Hello , gt22 . But

30:01

again , you guys , I'm telling you my

30:03

like Look at that droid

30:05

, I can't believe it . Look

30:08

at him . I

30:10

think he's cool . And Owen's like no

30:12

, he's not as cool as R2 .

30:14

He's right , he's not as cool as R2 . But

30:17

we should make one .

30:19

I think this one is so cool looking .

30:21

I like the droids Me too , the droids

30:23

and the creatures .

30:24

Totally my favorites . Creatures

30:28

. I love creatures .

30:30

Whoa , what is ?

30:31

that Uh well , uh , show them that

30:34

creature .

30:36

Whatever this thing is , it's amazing

30:38

. I don't know . It's

30:42

kind of a touca , but like a thousand times bigger

30:45

Volca With horns Volca .

30:49

Sorry , my like this

30:54

is rad , distracted , like

30:56

all over the place today . It's

30:58

fine . I had a very long day . I

31:01

think it's because I keep moving back and I don't want to just

31:03

smack you in the face right now . Oh , okay

31:05

, maybe that's like .

31:07

That's some excitement I'd rather not have , but if we did , at

31:09

least it would be on video . That would be funny

31:11

. It would Okay

31:14

. Um , this was one

31:16

of my favorite things to read too . Okay . So

31:19

while filming Empire Strikes Back , fisher

31:21

asked her space brother , Mark Hamill , to try on

31:23

her Hoth space jumpsuit During

31:25

the 2017 Star Wars celebration . Hamill

31:28

told the audience how Fisher then accessorized

31:30

the outfit with clown nose glasses

31:32

and bozo hair , and

31:34

after Hamill was dressed , fisher took him by the

31:36

hand and paraded him around the entire studio

31:39

. Oh my goodness

31:41

, he also wore Fisher's floral

31:44

robe around set simply because she asked

31:46

him to . After sharing the story

31:48

, Hamill said I don't think I would have done that for anybody

31:50

but her . Nothing pleased me more than making

31:52

her laugh .

31:53

You know they always every story you

31:55

hear , especially between like Carrie

31:58

Fisher and Mark Hamill . They always

32:00

just seem like they genuinely had

32:02

a lot of fun together yeah like

32:04

they are always goofing off

32:06

, like truly like a brother-sister relationship . Yeah

32:08

, it's a really , really fun

32:11

, like I'm gonna say , and you can see that

32:13

too in the relationship on screen

32:15

, which makes me sad because I wish we would have

32:17

got more in the sequels . Yeah

32:19

, except that one scene , but

32:22

they didn't bring him in

32:24

for right or force

32:28

awakens and then carrie fisher passed

32:31

away . They weren't able to do much with her

32:33

oh I wish we could have

32:35

seen more of the brother sister , but you could tell

32:37

that they still cared I . I wanted

32:40

to know more about their story , like I

32:42

want to know more about what happens between Return

32:45

and the Rise .

32:45

We could still get like a TV show where

32:47

they could go back . You know they could do something animated

32:50

or have actors play younger versions

32:52

of themselves , maybe .

32:54

So I know some people don't like it . So I know some people don't like

32:56

it , but I am totally okay with

32:58

actors like them

33:01

recasting characters

33:05

Like I have no problem and

33:07

I know Mark Hamill has said he has no problem

33:09

if they hire an actor to come in to

33:11

play a younger him . Right , yeah

33:13

, I think the only

33:15

one I might have like

33:18

an issue seeing is like somebody

33:21

else playing Princess Leia . Yeah

33:23

, but

33:27

I don't .

33:27

I think that's the only one I'd ever be like . Hmm , like it carries our princess

33:29

right , unless we're talking about different

33:32

ages .

33:32

I'm saying because the child one was really

33:34

good , she was fantastic . But

33:43

that's like Liam Nilsen said , he doesn't want anybody to ever play Qui-Gon , but then , like

33:45

we have the whole Ahsoka show , coming out season two Like are they recasting

33:47

both .

33:48

Is it gonna be CGI or ?

33:51

I think they're gonna have to recast them and

33:53

I'm okay with that Like his story was as

33:55

long as they do a good job with what they're doing Like

33:58

, yeah , just continue to tell the story . Yeah

34:01

, so side note , sorry , speaking

34:03

of all the fun that you think that they had on

34:05

set .

34:06

Here's a story to illustrate that . All right , so

34:08

on a particularly hot day while filming

34:10

the original trilogy , someone brought squirt

34:12

guns to the set . Okay , peter

34:16

Mayhew , the actor who played Chewbacca , remembers Fisher grabbing one and running

34:18

around in costume soaking Harrison Ford , mark

34:21

Hamill and anyone else who got in her way

34:23

, and eventually someone had to take

34:25

the toy away from her Did she squirt

34:27

.

34:27

Like Did

34:32

she ? You paused at the wrong place , I

34:34

know . Did

34:36

she use the water gun

34:39

on Peter Mayhew while he was

34:41

in costume ? Could you imagine like

34:44

a Wookiee costume wet , are you

34:46

excited ? Blasted

34:50

with a water gun ? They're

34:54

terrible people . I know they're

34:56

terrible , it's funny Terrible people

34:58

, but it smelled like that wet , like burn

35:00

Ohrible people . But it smelled like that wet , like fur

35:03

.

35:03

Oh yeah , it's so hot , people

35:05

definitely sweat inside of it .

35:07

But is it real hair ? Is it synthetic hair

35:09

, like was it ? It's gotta

35:11

be synthetic , right ? I don't know , like we

35:15

know people

35:19

who use real hair . I

35:22

think I didn't

35:25

want to say name . Yeah , that's right

35:27

, wouldn't that be even ?

35:29

heavier though .

35:30

Not necessarily . It's all

35:32

about the spacing Wet

35:35

yak hair .

35:36

You gross Yak , let's see .

35:43

What else you got for us , Rexy ? Checking

35:48

for the next one .

35:54

Oh , here we go .

35:56

I think I might know which one you're talking about . Yeah , I think Can , I guess . Yeah , I think

35:58

I might know which one you're talking about Can ? I guess I

36:01

do know that during A New Hope

36:03

the actor who

36:05

played Grand Moff Tarkin would constantly

36:07

wear his slippers around the set instead

36:09

of his shoes , because

36:12

they didn't ever show his feet , so he wore

36:14

house shoes around the . Is that

36:16

not , it ?

36:18

No , no , yeah

36:23

, he would not . Oh yeah

36:25

, you would wear head , shoes and everything and

36:27

then like bunny slippers .

36:29

It would be great if it was bunny slippers , but I don't think

36:31

it was bunny slippers .

36:32

Oh , I hope it was bunny slippers .

36:35

Oh , so never mind . What was your story , Rexy

36:37

?

36:39

Ummm , oh , so never mind

36:42

what was your story , Rexy .

36:43

Here we go .

36:43

So at one point during filming for Return of the Jedi

36:46

, hamill and Fisher were pulled aside and

36:48

told that their characters were actually twins

36:50

, separated at first . Upon

36:52

hearing this , hamill asked Well , if I'm Luke Skywalker

36:54

from the moisture farm on Tatooine and

36:59

she's Princess Leia , does that make royalty ? Does that make me royalty

37:01

? Without missing a beat , fisher said

37:03

no .

37:05

She wasn't . He wasn't adopted

37:08

by the royal family of .

37:09

Alderaan Nope , nope , and it wasn't

37:11

a blood thing .

37:14

It was my adopted family .

37:17

Alright , I have . I've got one more

37:19

, so you .

37:19

You say your next thing .

37:21

I'll look up my next thing Talking about

37:23

adopted family .

37:24

So we have Leia , who was adopted by

37:26

the Organas , and then Luke

37:28

Skywalker is taken back to Tafelene

37:31

, where his father was born With

37:34

the same last name . Skywalker , that's

37:37

not really like a oh .

37:43

No , it's not . That name is not like oh , it's 15 minutes to sunset . My

37:45

watch just let me know , is it ? Yes , I

37:47

have it set up to tell me when it's 15 minutes . I

37:50

don't . Where

37:52

are they ?

37:54

am I making you lose your spirit ?

37:55

place again . No , it switched over

37:58

to a different page and it , like it

38:00

, didn't bookmark my place , just the page

38:02

itself .

38:03

Oh , no , okay .

38:07

So I'm gonna tell you some really funny

38:10

bad reviews . Oh

38:13

, I like bad reviews , okay

38:15

. So this one Okay , there we go . This one is from the very first one from Star

38:18

Wars or Star Wars . A New one ? Okay , there

38:20

we go . This one is from the very first one from

38:22

Star Wars or Star Wars A New Hope . Okay

38:24

, there's no breather in the picture , no

38:27

lyricism . The only attempt at beauty

38:29

is in the double sunset . It's enjoyable

38:31

on its own terms , but it's exhausting , too Like

38:35

taking

38:39

a pack of kids to the circus there is

38:41

a lot going on .

38:43

So I guess I can kind of see that . But that's

38:45

a three part story

38:47

within a three part well actually nine

38:49

part story . There

38:52

is a lot going on .

38:53

Yeah , but at the time that

38:55

had come out , I think it was the only Star Wars they had

38:57

ever had though here

39:00

we got another one . It's an epic without a dream

39:02

, but it's probably the absence of wonder

39:04

that accounts for the film's special

39:07

, huge success . The excitement

39:09

of those who call it the film of the year goes

39:11

way past nostalgia , to the feeling

39:13

that now is the time to return to childhood . An

39:16

hour into it , children say that they're ready to see

39:18

it again . That's because it's an assemblage

39:20

of spare parts . It has no emotional

39:22

grip .

39:27

So Really .

39:30

I saw that the first time when I was like a

39:32

small child , like five or six

39:34

, okay , and I was hooked Immediately

39:37

.

39:37

Yeah that's what it's saying that the children are hooked because it's

39:39

not .

39:39

Oh yeah , I was a child . Okay , Immediately .

39:41

That's what it's saying . The children are hooked Because it's not . Oh , yeah , I was a child

39:43

. Okay , yeah , I can see . Like I know Adults who watch

39:45

it For the first time . A lot of them

39:47

are like Okay

39:50

, like , yeah , they're not , not

39:52

super into it , it's a very

39:54

. It's

40:05

a much simpler , yet not simpler story , if that makes sense . Like it's very . A kid gets , watches his

40:07

family die , he goes out into outer space . Oh , he now has these powers and he joins this rebellion

40:09

and now he becomes the hero and it's

40:13

. It's the story that's been told

40:15

a ton of times

40:17

. Yeah , but in space

40:19

, which also had already been told in space

40:21

, because then we have Dune .

40:22

Like it's a very

40:25

common story , but it still just like resonated

40:27

with so many of us . But and people like that

40:29

, A bunch of people were not about it .

40:30

People like that storyline of the

40:34

under what's . Oh , what's the

40:36

word that I'm looking for ? The underdog .

40:40

The what's the word that I'm looking for ? The underdog , the underdog story . People like to root for the underdog .

40:41

That's what that story was , and that's why people liked it , because

40:44

they saw themselves as an underdog , just

40:46

living their daily life and then going

40:48

off and then saving the entire

40:50

galaxy Like but

40:53

I can see it Adults watch it now and they're

40:55

like .

40:56

They're like , yeah , like , if you get somebody

40:58

that wasn't a fan forever . And you're like , hey

41:00

, sit down and watch A New Hope , Like we

41:02

always fall asleep to that movie . So many times

41:05

Matt falls asleep to it every time .

41:07

My child , my 12-year-old child

41:09

, will not watch the originals . Yeah

41:11

, because he finds them boring .

41:13

That makes sense , the

41:16

more we get into it .

41:17

I think the more we appreciate

41:19

it , the more complex the stories get . And they also , but I

41:21

think the help of technology

41:23

and CGI and all the special

41:26

effects , because they just didn't have it

41:28

. No , they didn't . They created

41:30

the special effects for the movies . They

41:32

created like , um

41:35

, what Got another

41:37

?

41:37

one . Oh no , I

41:39

sincerely hope that science

41:42

and scientists differ from science fiction

41:44

and its practitioners . Heaven

41:46

help us . If they don't , we may be headed for a

41:48

very boring world indeed . Drip

41:50

Star Wars of its often striking images

41:52

and its highfalutin scientific jargon and

41:55

you get a story , characters and dialogue

41:57

of overwhelming banality , without

41:59

even a future cast to them human

42:02

beings , anthropods or robots

42:04

you could probably find them all more

42:06

or less like that in downtown los angeles

42:09

today . Oh dull

42:11

new world .

42:12

So I'm

42:14

listening to the reviews and

42:17

they're talking about how it's not really complex

42:19

. It's kind of boring . These were

42:21

movies that were written for children

42:23

movies and lucas has said that over

42:26

and over and over again . They are kid

42:28

films , especially the originals . They

42:30

are kid films and you can see that in this story

42:32

. And then you , yeah

42:34

, the prequels are like , oh , let's make it

42:36

all war and politics

42:39

, yep . So people who say politics are

42:41

not in Star Wars yes , it is . It's

42:43

been there from the very beginning . Huge .

42:45

Yeah , yeah , I

42:48

mean all of this is based

42:50

on Star Wars . Yeah Well yeah

42:52

yeah , we are treated

42:54

to a galactic civil war . Assorted heroes

42:56

and villains , a princely maiden in distress

42:58

, a

43:02

splendid old man surviving from an extinct order of knights who possessed a mysterious power called

43:04

the Force , and it is all as exciting

43:06

as last year's weather reports . Why

43:09

? Even the most exciting fight is an old-fashioned

43:11

duel . For

43:13

all that , the swords have laser beams for

43:15

blades .

43:17

You were very underwhelming Laser sword

43:20

. Fight Laser sword but like , and it was , they were very underwhelming laser sword , but

43:22

like and it was . I mean I

43:25

think we appreciate them so much because

43:27

we are so involved in the story

43:29

and we grew up with it , but also

43:32

like so there's some nostalgia factor , there's

43:35

a lot of nostalgia factor , but also now

43:37

they've expanded on so much , like

43:40

with the Obi-Wwan kenobi show . They

43:42

definitely play into that , because obi-wan

43:44

now at this point , like after the show

43:46

, he was like he became

43:49

, like he got peace with himself , he

43:51

found , like he knew what happened with vader , and

43:53

even vader was like you didn't do this to me

43:56

, like I am , like I am yeah

43:58

, and this is not your fault like

44:00

I , I did this , I did this and I so

44:02

I think , when obi-wan went to

44:04

um , when he was confronting

44:06

vader in a new hope , now

44:09

that we know all this , he wasn't going to put

44:11

up a big fight , like he's already come to peace with

44:13

that . So he's going to kind

44:15

of just what it is staying there and he's going to sacrifice

44:18

himself so the next generation can

44:21

live on .

44:22

Yep , kinda like Luke does in the Last Jedi , and we know

44:24

so much about him .

44:27

They're connecting Circles , circles . Luke

44:29

did what his uh , his master

44:32

taught him .

44:33

And he sacrificed . So that

44:36

the resistance could escape and get

44:38

away . And we know

44:40

all of that now and that makes us like , yes

44:43

, yes , here it is all

44:45

trite characterization and paltry verbiage

44:47

. The one exception is

44:49

Alec Guinness as the grand old man , Ben

44:52

Kenobi Ben

44:54

for the Hebrew , Ben to make him

44:56

sound biblical and good . Kenobi

44:59

probably from cannabis , ie hashes

45:01

, for reasons you can probably guess . Still

45:07

, Star Wars will do very nicely for those

45:09

lucky enough to be children or

45:11

unlucky enough never to have grown up . I

45:14

would count myself very lucky to have

45:16

never actually had to grow up .

45:18

My kid called me out last night for being a

45:20

child .

45:22

I feel like that's a high five .

45:26

We were talking on our way home and he's like

45:28

Mom , aren't you just a big child with

45:30

? All your Star Wars toys and Legos

45:32

. I'm like you

45:34

know what you play your video

45:36

games . I talk my Star Wars , so

45:40

hush you .

45:42

Here we go . Speaking of kids , if you are

45:44

a kid at heart , a die-hard Star Trek

45:47

fan or just a confirmed addict of Marvel

45:49

comics , star Wars will completely

45:51

dazzle . Using such

45:53

interplanetary stalwarts as Flash

45:55

Gordon and Buck Rogers for inspiration , director

45:58

George Lucas has concocted a mind-blowing

46:00

spectacle that sends the audience off into the

46:02

wondrously strange world of fantasy

46:05

and satisfies just about everyone's adolescent

46:07

craving for a corny , old-fashioned

46:09

adventure movie . I

46:12

mean , they're not wrong . It's

46:14

a fun adventure movie .

46:15

It's very on point , so it makes sense

46:18

.

46:22

Star Wars is somewhat grounded

46:24

by a malfunctioning script and

46:27

hopelessly infantile dialogue

46:29

. Surrounded by these fascinating

46:31

creatures , the actors barely hold their own

46:34

, to be sure . Mark Hamill has

46:36

a bland-faced innocence as Skywalker

46:38

, and Carrie Fisher is comically

46:40

plucky as the distressed Princess

46:42

Leia . But Harrison Ford hams

46:44

it up terribly as Han Solo , a

46:47

cynical space pirate who has flown

46:49

from one side of this galaxy to another and

46:51

seen a lot of stuff .

46:52

So okay , let's touch base

46:55

on that . Even George Lucas has admitted

46:57

he is not the best writer , and that is

46:59

why Empire and Return of the Jedi are

47:01

significantly better stories than A

47:03

New Hope . Because somebody else like

47:06

wrote it . Like

47:08

I know , somebody else directed it , Did somebody else write it ? Or

47:10

I think they helped write it . Um , which

47:14

one are we looking at ?

47:14

Empire Strikes Back . You

47:17

want the director .

47:18

Who wrote it ?

47:23

That wasn't a word at all , lucas

47:26

Lee Brackett .

47:29

Okay , yeah , I'm going to say he had more people helping writing

47:31

. There were a lot of people .

47:33

Wait , that's the whole cast . Lawrence , there we go

47:35

. Who is it ?

47:35

I knew it Lawrence Lawrence

47:37

Kasdan . Who is it ? I

47:40

knew it Lawrence Lawrence Kasdan . Yeah

47:42

, so Thank you . So Lucas did not write

47:45

the Empire .

47:46

Oh , okay .

47:47

He brought in other people , which was originally

47:49

going to be what he wanted to do with

47:51

the prequels . He was going to do the first

47:53

one , okay , and then bring people in to do

47:55

number two and number three , and

47:57

he had people lined up but number two and number three . And he had

47:59

people lined up , but Ron Howard was supposed to do one

48:01

and he couldn't . He didn't have

48:03

the time for it . So then Lucas just did it all

48:05

.

48:05

What was Ron ?

48:06

Howard doing ? I don't know .

48:10

Anybody know what Ron Howard was working on

48:12

when he had to turn down ?

48:13

Empire , well , not Empire . The prequels , oh the prequels .

48:15

When he had to turn down the prequels , prequels

48:20

I don't remember what , but I do know he had to empire

48:22

. Doesn't make sense . Ron

48:28

howard would have been like nine .

48:29

No , he would have been daddy , wasn't when did the any little

48:31

kid in the indian ?

48:31

yeah , I don't know when did andy griffith come out ?

48:33

I don't know . No , because it was black , and white

48:35

.

48:35

Oh , 50s maybe . Oh

48:38

yeah , okay , so ron howard was a kid in the

48:40

50s .

48:41

Apollo 13 . Maybe I think that sounds

48:43

about right . Oh , okay , yeah

48:46

, there was other like movies that he had

48:48

to do I have ?

48:48

no concept of time no , you don't

48:51

it's okay

48:53

, he wrote it would have been in like his 20s

48:56

or 30s probably . Oh

49:00

my gosh , we have been on here for 49

49:02

minutes .

49:04

Um yeah , so

49:06

that's

49:08

fun .

49:11

We'll do one of these again , for maybe the next group

49:13

.

49:15

Ooh , I'm already thinking of ideas for next week's episode

49:17

, so yeah , these

49:20

are really fun I really like hanging out with

49:22

50:26

predictions that we have . Okay , it'll

50:30

be like a whole other act , oh

50:33

man this is fantastic . The

50:35

trailer is also good for doing entire episodes

50:37

we'll talk about Tales of the Jedi , yeah

50:40

, so tune in for that .

50:41

We're going to hang out and about the tales uh

50:43

trailer maybe we'll throw in a little bit

50:45

of tales of the empire , which

50:48

is so funny because yeah , tales of the empire is coming , tales

50:50

of the jedi was last year because they at celebration

50:53

was it last year in

50:56

london when they did the

50:58

they announced the tales of the jedi 2 . So was it just , oh yeah

51:00

, they did the . They announced the Tales of the Jedi 2 . So was it just , oh yeah , they did . Maybe

51:02

this is part two .

51:04

Maybe in part two they did Tales of the Empire . Oh

51:07

, I have other things I want to talk about .

51:09

Next week , next week , okay , next

51:11

week , then yes , okay so maybe we'll hit

51:13

on the what was the game

51:15

trailer that I just watched today .

51:21

Star Wars .

51:21

Outlaws way that I just watched today star wars outlaws , outlaws . Maybe we can talk about

51:23

that trailer too .

51:23

I've never wanted to play a star wars game more than I want to play this one . I am so proud

51:25

of myself . I called it that kira is

51:27

going to be in it . You did a quick snippet

51:30

. That is because it takes place here in the empire

51:32

and they got all the crime snippets

51:34

their name dropped . Why would kira not

51:36

be in it ? She is running . Yes , sheson

51:38

Dawn , she's taken over by now . We

51:41

see Han Solo and Vox .

51:42

We see Han Solo and Carbonite in the trailer and

51:45

immediately I was like Kira's going to be in it , so we're going

51:47

to see , because she is the one who got

51:49

the information out . Yep , yep , she knew

51:51

that , so I wonder if

51:53
