00:00:00
Anyways, today's recording is going to be a lot, I want to say more unscripted, but
00:00:04
definitely more unleashed, because this will be the first time that I'm recording without
00:00:09
a shirt on.
00:00:10
And like, I don't know, it's something about my personality when my titties are hanging
00:00:12
free that just makes me better at Star Wars.
00:00:15
It makes no sense whatsoever.
00:00:17
It doesn't have to make sense.
00:00:19
Don't think about it.
00:00:20
Allow me to channel my inner, no, allow me to channel my inner orangutan.
00:00:23
Let my titties hang.
00:00:25
My booty hole purple is great.
00:00:27
I want to get that checked out.
00:00:28
You know what?
00:00:29
I'm just at the same thing.
00:00:30
Would your doctor be the one checking it out?
00:00:32
No, doctor not allowed to see my, my bussy.
00:00:35
Only this one hooker down the street named Carl is.
00:00:38
She's beautiful.
00:00:39
Carl?
00:00:40
Carl, yeah.
00:00:41
You heard him.
00:00:42
I said what I said.
00:00:43
He said what he said.
00:00:44
I said what I said.
00:00:45
He doesn't have a plethora of croissant.
00:00:48
You got to say the word right, otherwise it doesn't, you got to say croissant.
00:00:51
I don't have that much energy in me.
00:00:52
We're just trying to finish some of these fries so I'm not eating and recording.
00:00:56
Things great, man.
00:01:00
Stop playing with your pistol.
00:01:02
Is that what kids call it?
00:01:03
These things?
00:01:04
Welcome everyone to the Force Unscripted.
00:01:33
It's
00:01:49
time
00:02:16
Besides these two fuckers being rude to me once again even though I am the kindest soul that they've ever come across
00:02:21
Today's episode is kind of exciting. So for those of you who are into
00:02:25
Clones and Mandalorians, you're really gonna enjoy this episode
00:02:28
We're gonna be focusing on one of me and Winxy's favorite authors in the legends timeline
00:02:34
Karen Travis
00:02:36
She is basically a pioneer when it comes to not only
00:02:40
What we learn about clones because she wrote some of the first backstories that really delve into the life of clones during the clone wars
00:02:47
But also she as Winxy let me an exotic know like basically kind of fleshed out the Mandalorian language
00:02:55
Which is impressive because that is a that entire thing is you can say some creative insults in that language
00:03:02
I love love speaking in Mandoa. Yeah, the
00:03:05
inception of that language was the
00:03:07
Intro music for the Republic commando video game, which is actually Vodayan the song that's frequently referenced in
00:03:15
the actual books that's the like where the very beginning of the language came from and then
00:03:20
When she wrote the books about the commandos from that point
00:03:23
She went in and fleshed out like a good chunk of words needed to like actually
00:03:31
Have a language that like there's a there's a certain quantity of words
00:03:35
needed for like a language to reach a critical like mass or whatever critical point where it can like actually
00:03:42
I can leave. I'm sorry
00:03:46
You made me okay that genuinely made me smile because I was just thinking like language and then you just go critical mass
00:03:52
And I'm just like wait a minute
00:03:54
But essentially like any language needs like a certain number of words before it needs to be
00:03:59
Generated for it before it can like start to actually function as a fully fleshed out language in everyday use that point is like
00:04:06
Two or three thousand words with like hitting like key verbs and whatnot and then from there
00:04:10
I think it can through like loculisms and all that kind of stuff
00:04:13
You can eventually like fully develop a language just from that like starting set of words
00:04:19
I actually didn't know that like there was like a word amount requirement to be considered a language
00:04:24
I thought you could just be like any bullshit and just be like, yeah, it's a language
00:04:27
I actually learned this fact while I was studying Mandoa because she kind of mentioned that in
00:04:34
The like final blog post she did about it
00:04:37
She was like I'm not gonna because Disney bought like Star Wars
00:04:40
I'm not gonna be developing this language any further
00:04:42
But I have gotten it to the point like the that critical
00:04:45
Point where it can be like used as a you know, fully fleshed out language from this point
00:04:51
So I won't be developing it any further
00:04:53
But should be to the point where you can use it, you know for whatever you need to use it for
00:04:57
I miss her. So honestly, I wish she would have come back for Disney books, but I understand also that's a that's that the
00:05:04
mentioning the Republic commando is a good segue into like the first portion of the show because I
00:05:11
Love okay. So you you said is it pronounced it's pronounced voting on I thought was vote on I'm pretty sure it's voting on because
00:05:18
Yeah, no. Yeah, it is because vote is vote is the singular vote is the plural right? Right? You're right
00:05:24
Okay. Well, I like voting on because and we learned this in the Karen Travis books, but basically it's like this way to show
00:05:33
camaraderie between the clones with their mandalorian background and basically the entire song
00:05:40
They're like beating the shit out of each other and like if you miss a step
00:05:45
You will walk away with bruises and that is just something that I
00:05:48
Love about the entire song when they were describing the the ceremony when they were like well, they were playing like some sport
00:05:56
I forget what the name of the mandalorian sport was but they were doing vote on and they're just like
00:06:02
Beating the shit out of each other. It was hilarious
00:06:05
There's there's a couple guys who like
00:06:07
They'll start it and then more people will join in and like if you like miss a step or whatever like all of a sudden
00:06:13
Like you just get like clocked in the face
00:06:15
Like if you're if you're on tempo like doing it properly, you might walk away with like some minor bruises and whatnot
00:06:21
But like you you know, you don't get like fully just decked
00:06:24
But if you do it wrong the guy next to you, he's not pulling his punches
00:06:27
He's just going so like you put your face in the wrong spot. All of a sudden you're missing a chin
00:06:32
Like that's on you. You know what and that's another thing too. Like I really appreciated the
00:06:38
Mandalorian background that Karen Travis added to the clones because I feel like we don't really get that in the Clone Wars stuff
00:06:44
The bad batch Clone Wars any kind of like media from from that time of what that was like 19 bby or something like that
00:06:51
Yeah, yeah
00:06:52
We don't we don't get any of that and that was one part that I really like loved about reading those books was that you see
00:06:58
Like one there's a big juxtaposition between the first round of clones
00:07:03
The ones trained on Camino and then the sparty cylinder clones the ones that come from Coruscant's moon syntax, too
00:07:09
But you don't really see much difference in the waves of clones that actually do waves of clones come after the Camino clones
00:07:17
in Clone Wars, yeah, there's
00:07:20
Million more well on the way or something like that. There was definitely another wave or two afterwards
00:07:25
but like the initial like at least for the commandos the full wave of commandos went to
00:07:30
Geonosis and then lots, you know, so sweet subsequently lost 50% of their numbers. Yeah tough
00:07:36
Geonosis was basically fucking D day of Star Wars
00:07:40
Yeah, let's talk that let's talk about that shit cuz damn you got ten thousand like elite
00:07:46
Mandalorian trained troops, you know that the trainers are handpicked by by Django Fett hideaway for ten years raising these kids
00:07:54
shooting live ammo over their heads accidentally sometimes killing them and being traumatized forever and
00:07:59
And then you sent them off to their first battle and their generals are some fuckwits with little laser swords
00:08:06
Who've never heard led an army before and all of a sudden half of your elite troops that you just raised from like
00:08:13
You know being little fetuses in a whatever test tube
00:08:18
They're all gone because they they die in some fucking tunnels because these fucking
00:08:23
Light stick dudes have no clue how to lead an army amazing. It does kind of contribute to the entire storyline of the Jedi becoming more
00:08:30
Millitant because like, you know, they weren't and then they were kind of forced to be or they forced to be I guess they were
00:08:35
They weren't forced. It was
00:08:38
They didn't turn down the opportunity
00:08:42
I feel like they were forced though because Yoda has that one line from the Clone Wars where like Mace is like
00:08:47
Is this the right choice and he goes right choice? No only choice. Yes
00:08:51
Yeah, but like we see we see plenty of Jedi who who walk away from being
00:08:57
Generals in a an army of child soldiers. Yeah, cuz they are children. They're children with and they have no rights
00:09:04
Yeah, they were marginalized children with adult bodies. Holy shit. I'm a clone
00:09:09
I'm pretty sure droids had more rights than the clones did they made a comment about how little rights the like the clones actually had
00:09:17
Like there was part in the books where they were like talking about like what happens after the war and they were just like
00:09:22
Well, they get decommissioned. They're like, what does that mean?
00:09:24
And then the answer was well, they get decommissioned like one of one of the boys fee, you know takes a
00:09:30
explosive round
00:09:32
to the face and
00:09:34
He's got like severe brain injury and they send him off to like a Republic medical facility and the droids like we've seen
00:09:43
No signs of brain activity. The guy's still breathing by the way, like breathing unassisted and whatnot
00:09:48
And but the droids like we see no signs of brain activity. So he's being decommissioned and they're like, what does that mean?
00:09:55
It's like well, he's gonna be put in the fucking trash compactor. They got zero rights
00:09:59
They weren't even willing to like help the dude out. Maybe try and rehabilitate him. They're like he ain't got a brain cell
00:10:04
He he's not worth anything to the Republic. I mean, there was some fucked up stuff going on man
00:10:10
Yeah, they get him out. They get our boy fee out. He does have a pretty much full recovery and
00:10:16
Just for your sake. I'll let you know. Mr
00:10:18
Nikita that he's not one of the ones that dies in the book that you haven't read
00:10:23
I kind of assume that cuz I feel like
00:10:26
Barton talked about something in like the later books in the legacy of the force about
00:10:29
She right pretty sure he had mentioned that he still had uncles who had helped him out after like some had passed
00:10:35
I assumed fee was going to make it because he probably didn't see active combat after that
00:10:40
Oh, he definitely saw active combat after that. Oh
00:10:44
Fee I love him
00:10:46
Okay, he made a he made like pretty much a full recovery in that the you know, the next the next Oh cuz of the
00:10:53
Genome are they oh wait. Oh, yeah, I'm kept healing him Barton
00:10:56
Yeah, Barton kept healing him for a long time and he him and him
00:11:01
What was what was her name?
00:11:02
Broward's daughter cousin or whatever nef nice. Did I have no the mechanic the mechanic girl? I know you're talking about
00:11:09
I have no clue about names. It wasn't La SEMA. That's like the only name that I can ever remember
00:11:13
she helps him with his review rehabilitation and they get married and so Gucci I think it's really
00:11:20
Interesting to kind of dive deeper into like the intricacies of like clone life
00:11:25
You can tell that there was no plan and I guess that's part of like Palpatine's machinations for like running two sides of a war
00:11:32
But like these soldiers were bred to fight and no one ever stopped to think well
00:11:37
What happens after the fighting?
00:11:39
Whether we win or lose what's gonna happen to all of these people who have accelerated aging
00:11:44
There were there were definitely people who who did think that but they were silenced forcefully violently quote-unquote
00:11:51
We see some of it in bad batch and Clone Wars. Don't we I know Clone Wars. I don't know about bad batch
00:11:56
I thought we saw a little bit of it in bad batch, but we definitely see it in in Clone Wars
00:12:01
exotic if you had to decide if you were like the
00:12:05
Why I guess in this case the Chancellor and you had to make an executive order on what to do with the clones
00:12:10
After the fighting is over. What would you what would you have them do?
00:12:14
Mmm, a great question. Is there a great answer that's gonna follow it?
00:12:18
I don't know. I mean if you actually look at today's military compared to them, it's not really too easy to compare
00:12:24
It's too easy to compare. Who's military our military? That's a very bad example, man
00:12:31
Yeah, I mean if I'm not mistaken the clones like they don't even get like paid for being soldiers
00:12:37
Nope, so to be able to set in a plan you would have to in turn pay them for their service
00:12:47
It's all I need cuz I mean like
00:12:49
Booze in Clone Wars. We see that one clone that fucking pretty much said
00:12:55
I'm a see ya after his whole fucking like platoon got wiped out and decided he wanted to knock up a twa like bitch and
00:13:03
Just kind of live out his life there
00:13:04
Oh, yeah
00:13:05
that scene when I mentioned it to hunter pissed him off because in the in the Karen Travis books like
00:13:11
There's specifically a couple that's a clone and a twi like and they can't have a baby and they're sitting there watching their other clone
00:13:17
Like his other clone brothers have babies with women that they're with and I told hunter
00:13:21
I was like, yeah, dude
00:13:22
They a clone has a baby or as a baby with a twi like in the Clone Wars and he was like that's fucked up
00:13:27
Yeah, man, like Aiden and las fema are together for the entire like at least through Imperial Commando
00:13:34
Oh and like yeah the whole time like darmin who's one of Omega squad?
00:13:40
Is married to etain?
00:13:42
Who's a Jedi and they have a kid his name's cad. He's dope and can't wait, right?
00:13:49
Yeah, also he also is known as Venku
00:13:52
That's the one that they were mainly like
00:13:55
Focus on because las fema ended up being the like nanny for for cad for a very long time. So
00:14:01
That's the one like relationship they focus on there's a couple other like instances of that
00:14:07
But yeah, basically like they're they're always jealous a little bit of darmin and attain because they can have a kid whereas
00:14:15
Aiden and las fema can't and then they're like, oh hey, yeah this clone and this twi in the Clone Wars
00:14:22
You know, they just have a kid. I'm like, this is bullshit. This is bullshit
00:14:26
I got I got to watch my boy suffer for like four books and
00:14:30
You're just like take all all of his suffering and just toss it in the trash can in one episode of the Clone Wars
00:14:38
That's some bull who was the one that ended up with the the lawyer lady the lawyer like Bethany or yeah
00:14:46
Bethany who ended up with Bethany? I forget he was like ordo ordo didn't ordo and Bethany have a kid not at the time of
00:14:54
Imperial Commando gotcha. Okay or ordo don't make it either do we ordo makes it? Oh god bless
00:15:00
He's my favorite. Honestly out of all the Karen Travis like characterized clones
00:15:05
Ordo was my favorite. Sorry, Bethany not Bethany Bethany ordo is no, okay. I sorry I'm thinking of githany
00:15:13
Githany was with Bane
00:15:14
Bethany was with ordo
00:15:16
Bethany and jilka jilka was the the one that they like that comark and jing put the blame on for the
00:15:24
hacking of the
00:15:25
The Republic like banking system, you know, and then so jilka got sent to prison and they like broke her out later
00:15:32
Because they're badasses, but yeah of all of them ordo so it's ordo jing
00:15:37
Comark prudy
00:15:39
Aten and who's the last one?
00:15:43
Niner no Niner is not an
00:15:47
Alpha or a null arc. Wait, neither was I thought a ten wasn't either. No. No Aden was
00:15:53
Oh, okay, Aten. Yeah, Aten was a null arc other way around. Oh, is it?
00:16:00
Yeah, a ten was omega squad because it was Niner fee a ten and darman. Okay. Look man
00:16:07
There's one there's so there's so many two letters off cuz it's a D E in an A T I in I was right
00:16:13
Ha what no, I was wrong
00:16:16
Anyway, oh, I'm real real real real is my favorite real is my favorite besides ordo
00:16:22
I'm not gonna tell you who dies. Okay. Well, that's fair. Jang was computer whiz, right?
00:16:29
Jang was computer whiz. Yeah, okay. I like Jang Jang was my number two ordo was my favorite ordo was like the leader of them
00:16:35
Kind of yeah ordo is as you can see the captain as I can see in the brick just brick is doing his job
00:16:42
Oh fact check look at brick 3po. I love that dude sometimes
00:16:48
But uh, I just yeah the the entirety of that that skyrata clan family was I loved all their dynamics
00:16:57
It's funny to me because you know, they're all they're all jingle-fet templates, right?
00:17:01
But like they all are just so distinct in their personalities and that holds true for the entirety of the Clone War
00:17:06
I mean we get to see in like Clone Wars where different soldiers have different like decals on their armor
00:17:13
markings and stuff and like I think that before we had the Clone Wars and for those of you who like didn't read the books
00:17:20
You always kind of thought like oh, yeah
00:17:22
It's just a bunch of jangle FETs because they don't really dive into them even in like revenge of the Sith when you see like
00:17:27
Oh, we want talking to Cody and you know, the other clone generals like they all just basically look like jangle FET
00:17:33
They're all just like jangle
00:17:35
They don't really give them personalities
00:17:36
But when you read these books when you see the Clone Wars when you go into the stories
00:17:39
It makes it worth it because then you know that this wasn't just like a cop
00:17:44
Well, okay. It is a copy paste army, but like it's a copy paste army with like italics. I was trying to they're not droids
00:17:51
They're not droids
00:17:53
Which is oh that was the other thing too that I thought was was like kind of funny in the beginning because like it always felt like
00:18:00
The drones or the droids had like the personality that you would expect like a dude army
00:18:06
would have and then the clones were like sentience that were just like very
00:18:11
Mechanical and droid like in their fighting. It was like vice-versus honestly for a while people
00:18:18
In like citizens of the republic thought that they were like droids because they always walked around in their armor and stuff
00:18:23
So that's why like some they had some of them walk around in regs so that
00:18:28
Like the civilians could actually see that they were were humans underneath all the armor. I still
00:18:33
We don't have any confirmation on it. I guess but i'm pretty sure like also the skyrata clan is like be richest
00:18:42
Singular entity in all of the star wars legends timeline like those motherfuckers were taken care of for their entire lives
00:18:49
When it came to money and credits, we don't know like how much money like the huts have or anything like that
00:18:54
But I wouldn't think they would have more than the skyrata's
00:18:59
I mean from the first like what didn't he give like some number it was like 14 trillion credits like
00:19:04
I don't think the huts have that kind of money. Honestly, it's like 50 or 60 trillion
00:19:09
Oh, yeah. Well that makes sense
00:19:12
So for those of you who don't know basically like I think it was jang and mariel come up with like this this program
00:19:18
Where they basically like shoot it into like the the treasury of coruscant like database
00:19:25
Where all it does that was that was her that where that kind of thing came from or that I mentioned
00:19:30
Yeah, because she put it she she was the one who like she actually helped them put it into the system, right?
00:19:35
Yeah, so what the program was set to do was like so coruscant has trillions of people living on there
00:19:42
Basically everyone with a registered bank account
00:19:45
Like basically this program just kind of scrapes a credit out of each one of those accounts
00:19:50
I don't want credit like a half a credit or something like that. Are you sure? I thought it was like one credit
00:19:55
It may be one but like the um, it's spread more than they thought it would
00:20:01
Yeah, and so like because you know, no one's gonna like really bitch about losing, you know, like half a credit a credit, right?
00:20:07
So they did that to like everyone and they ran it at like a certain interval
00:20:11
I don't know what the interval was but I mean like if you take a dollar from a trillion people boom
00:20:16
You're a trillionaire. Yeah, so essentially the null arcs. There's six of them in the books. They're a the very first
00:20:24
batch of modified clones, they are
00:20:29
Smarter like stronger a little more wild because they keep more of the like original set DNA that the
00:20:37
The Kaminoans hadn't like kind of filtered out yet
00:20:40
So like along with also the
00:20:41
original ARC troopers the null arcs are still like the the batch before the alpha ARC troopers who are the like original ARCs and then they
00:20:49
trained other ARC troopers like
00:20:52
Rex and then you know later on then it became a designation but originally it was a classification of
00:20:59
Genome that they were given
00:21:01
The null arcs are there were six of them. They are like geniuses
00:21:05
Just they were everything the Kaminoans could throw into a body to make it like better
00:21:12
But like the best they had it and so
00:21:16
They are genius hackers like genius
00:21:20
You know infiltration experts what what name it like you name it. They were good at it
00:21:25
And so yeah
00:21:26
They wrote this little program that like was just supposed to go through and like
00:21:30
Originally they were like they were like they were like they were like they were like
00:21:34
originally the like main purpose of the program was to check all of the
00:21:39
Transactions that were happening throughout the Republic because they were trying to find
00:21:42
you know weird discrepancies trying to figure out how the
00:21:46
The CIS had so many droids or like claimed to have so many droids trying to figure out where Republic funding was going
00:21:53
That kind of thing
00:21:55
And on the side like just as a little side project they were like, you know, while we're at it
00:21:59
let's skim a couple credits and
00:22:01
The program was a self replicating program and they didn't think that like they didn't realize how connected
00:22:08
Every single bank account was in the central like banking agency or whatever
00:22:12
and
00:22:13
So it basically hit every single
00:22:16
Citizen of like the Republic's bank account and so they were skimming trillions of credits like a week
00:22:23
from from the bank and so when they
00:22:27
Eventually made their escape from the Republic around the time of order 66. They made off like bandits
00:22:33
Rich bandits filthy rich bandits. Oh, yeah
00:22:38
And by the way, Rex was never an archtrooper that I was gonna ask about that too
00:22:42
Oh, was it just the the other ones like uh fives fives in them? Okay
00:22:46
I didn't I didn't know if Rex um got the training or not was Cody Cody was in an arc
00:22:51
Was he no, no, they attended like they like they went and took that training
00:22:55
But they never were officially archtroopers gotcha. Okay. I knew like the the other ones that fives in them were I just didn't know if
00:23:03
Rex was or not. Yeah, I didn't know fives was an arc. It was a whole arc in fucking clone wars
00:23:09
Yeah, but I missed the part where he was an archtrooper. I know fives in his story. I also want to know
00:23:15
where
00:23:16
The bad batch because they don't exist in legends, right?
00:23:19
But I want to know where they would fall because I feel like no arcs still exist
00:23:22
They might not be like the same characters that me and and when she know
00:23:26
But I want to know where the bad batch would fall in the no art group
00:23:30
Like where they did they precede the no arcs where they afterwards?
00:23:34
They I mean I feel like yes
00:23:36
I feel like the no arc still could have had a place in clone wars even though they're not like ever
00:23:42
Brought into play but I feel like the bad batch was like disney's
00:23:46
replacement for the no arcs
00:23:49
You know what that was that's how I that's how I've always viewed the no arcs
00:23:52
That's how I've always viewed the bad batch like the bad batch was like disney took the idea of like
00:23:57
Extra modified clones who were really badass like and you know did cool badass like covert ops and all that kind of stuff
00:24:04
And then they made it into something that like kids would enjoy and so they gave you like
00:24:08
The the funny characters and the very very different personalities of some of them and whatnot and they just they they took the no arc idea
00:24:15
And they gave you the bad batch instead, you know, I never thought about that. You might absolutely be right
00:24:20
Actually, i'm pretty sure you're right. I I I would like to hop on that train of thought actually that's cool
00:24:25
Because I mean that's that's what the no arcs were like, you know originally was
00:24:29
the cam and owens seeing like how far they could take the fet genome and
00:24:34
Coming out on you know, I mean the cam and owens thought it was a failure
00:24:38
Uh, because the boys like when they were like they're three years old basically, but six because of the accelerated aging
00:24:45
They they don't follow orders properly. They're six years old
00:24:48
They don't follow orders the way that the cam and owens want so they're going to recycle them and
00:24:54
there's a a mandalorian trainer there by the name of cal scurrata who
00:24:59
basically threatens to kill uh, tawn wee and uh co-sci
00:25:05
For even suggesting that they would kill like recycle the kids and he takes them in and like gives them like pieces of cake
00:25:12
And they spend the night with him and they have like nightmares because they basically have ptsd and shell shock
00:25:19
And so they're like hiding under the covers and stuff while he's trying to like take care of these kids that they were about
00:25:24
To fucking recycle there's some fucked up shit
00:25:26
But yeah, the cam and owens wanted to see how far they could take the fet genome
00:25:30
I feel like they're that that was disney saying like hey
00:25:33
They took it a little maybe too far in some cases like but like wrecker
00:25:37
I mean poor guy he could he could have been given a few more brain cells, but I love wrecker
00:25:42
Maybe that's why I love wrecker so much I relate to having so few brain cells that you can barely function
00:25:46
But you can run through shit and break stuff. Yeah, but you don't like getting hurt. That is true
00:25:51
I am a little bitch when it come to pain. This motherfucker has been making me work out three times a week. I'm still sore
00:25:58
Making yeah half the time it's against my will at least half. He comes over to my house
00:26:03
Right at the time that I go to the gym and expects me to not make him come to the gym with me when he
00:26:08
Complains about like wanting to look good and like be be confident in his own self
00:26:14
I do look good and I am confident in my own self. I just want to be swole, too
00:26:18
See there you go. He wants to be swole. So I forced him to go to the gym
00:26:22
So you admit to your crimes caught in 4k, you know, we record right if you weren't in my house
00:26:28
I wouldn't make you go but you come to my house
00:26:32
Hey brick 3po, can we get a fact check on something real quick?
00:26:34
I uh, I want to know what the name of the cake was that cal sky rada gave to the north
00:26:40
Which cake which cake? Okay. Never mind. No need for a fact check that the way they describe that shit made it sound so good
00:26:47
Like spongy and sweet. I was like I want to try some of this cake
00:26:51
It's a dense very sweet flat cake made of ground nuts syrup and pureed dried fruit and spice. Yeah
00:26:57
Okay. Oh, so uj alahi is the whole name for it. Yeah, because alahi is cake. So it's just uj alahi
00:27:04
You don't need to put cake after it uj alahi cake uj cake cake. Yeah, which cake cake, you know what if we go
00:27:11
So when she and I are going to a rave which is my it's gonna be my first rave
00:27:16
So if I see someone throwing that ass, i'm just gonna scream alahi alahi
00:27:20
Someone's gonna think i'm crazy, but they'll never know what i'm talking about. That's worth it
00:27:24
Wait, so brick3po also found a full recipe for the cake. Can we can you drop the recipe dude?
00:27:32
You know what and I just realized I have a star wars cookbook that i've like never
00:27:36
Opened and cooked food out of I need to do they have uh, the hut snacks in there
00:27:42
Um, you know not that I I know of but out of curiosity. Can I ask why you're inquiring about hut snacks?
00:27:49
Well, I know that you wanted to go down on a hut so I just that has nothing to do
00:27:56
Yeah, I
00:27:57
This is so disrespect. I came here to have a good time and honestly i'm feeling so attacked right now
00:28:02
I mean, that's the first thing that came to my mind too whenever you said that
00:28:04
That's why I was like, you know, I I didn't think about that. But why are you asking?
00:28:09
Hey, man, look you you say you would go down on a hut rather than burn off your legs and all of a sudden
00:28:15
Your homies want to crucify you upside down like st peter. This is bullshit
00:28:20
I feel like one's a lot more scarring than the other
00:28:22
Hey, yeah, and it's the sticky upside down. Look, it's this okay
00:28:26
And I chose to go down on a hut. I need my legs for those of you listening
00:28:31
I me and when she like guest starred on this podcast called film bros and we have a
00:28:38
We have like a four-part thing with them one where we're the first one that we already did which is where we talk about the prequel
00:28:43
Trilogy is the one we just did where we talked about the original trilogy and i'm pretty sure I kind of slightly embarrassed us because
00:28:50
They had like watched the episode and I brought up the whole like I asked them the question too
00:28:55
Like would you rather go down on a hut or like burn your legs off on mustafar?
00:29:00
And I feel like they were so judging me which I mean like it's okay
00:29:03
But you know, I said what I said and I still stand by my answer
00:29:07
Look man the the bullshit that they said for the rest of the episode more than counters
00:29:14
The the slight, you know guffaw that you you may have put out there
00:29:19
Okay, they they
00:29:21
They got some ideas that are uh wrong
00:29:26
When she was bad the entire time I do for the first time in my life
00:29:30
I shut the fuck up to listen to someone else because I was just so enthralled at him going in on them
00:29:35
Like don't don't don't don't rehash it. Just drop it drop it. Don't get mad all over again
00:29:42
I'm gonna get mad again next episode because we're gonna say the same thing
00:29:46
Like it's why is it a recurring theme because they're film bros, dude. Everyone knows film bros are like that, but he said
00:29:53
He said let it go from from from a film industry perspective. I'm always right like boy
00:30:01
Son adika
00:30:03
You know what also
00:30:06
One thing that I forgot to mention too is like I don't remember the opening for republic commando
00:30:12
I've been trying to since you mentioned it and I can't remember the vote a on song from there. I guess
00:30:17
Yeah, it's like every like anywhere just look up voting on and it's on the wookipedia page
00:30:23
There's they literally have a little button you can click that'll play it and it is voting on because they specifically say voting on in the
00:30:31
Okay, I believe you that's why I was asking I I don't want to pronounce this shit wrong
00:30:37
Because i've been pronouncing a lot of shit wrong. I even pronounce english words wrong. Yeah, we know what do you mean?
00:30:42
We know we can go back to the wikipedia. Uh wikia. Yeah, it's a wikia still just throwing an a on there randomly, but
00:30:49
Haven't really like
00:30:51
Talked about anything specific. We've just kind of been like flirting, you know flitting through ideas
00:30:56
But like this is good to know. Well, okay, but we've barely talked about delta squad
00:31:00
So exotics over here like wishing he had something to talk about
00:31:05
I told you i'm not reading no books. So that's all y'all delta squad is very prevalent in the republic commando books
00:31:11
They they're not like the the main focus, uh, but they pretty much except for the first book
00:31:17
They're in every book like doing joint actions and whatnot. Um with the other commandos
00:31:23
So the main the main focus of the books are typically omega squad and then like the scurrata clan
00:31:28
Including the null arcs mostly ordo the the first book is
00:31:34
Almost solely focused on omega squad. You don't really have any of the other the other guys none of the other uh mandalorian
00:31:41
Trainers or anything like that in there. You see a little bit of the
00:31:46
battle of geonosis like we we mentioned before so like half of the republic commando's, uh
00:31:52
forces were like wiped out during the the battle of geonosis and the
00:31:56
The like really where the book picks up in like chapter two is some of the remaining clones being brought into like new squads
00:32:04
so typically commandos operate in squads of four as we see in the republic commando video game and omega squad is one of the
00:32:12
first
00:32:13
Squads, you know mashed together from various like other, you know squads. They were all
00:32:18
From separate squads. They lost all three of their other squad mates and then were brought together, you know as a new squad
00:32:24
And so a lot of the first book is then like learning to work together with each other because they do all have different
00:32:30
personalities and whatnot three of the the clones were trained by cal scurrata one of them a ten was trained by
00:32:37
Waylon vow who is arch nemesis
00:32:40
They become buddies. They become later
00:32:42
So they kind of had some some differences in like training ideology and whatnot because each of the the quay valdar
00:32:50
Are trained the the clones a little bit differently. They were they were the hundred
00:32:55
The the quay valdar were a hundred trainers
00:32:58
Taken to each train like whatever that math is not all uh quay valdar or darmanda
00:33:04
Are they are any of them darmanda? Some of them are darmanda, but like most of them were just
00:33:10
Quay valdar, which is you know gone, but not forgotten basically
00:33:14
um
00:33:16
Uh, what's it called was cal considered a darmanda? Oh, no his kids declared him darbuir
00:33:22
Oh, okay. Got you
00:33:24
But no he was he was he was mandoa till the day he died. I I was getting the terms confused
00:33:30
That's what I meant darmanda means no longer mandalorian in like a very like you're a traitor to the people kind of way
00:33:38
But no, so like jango fett handpicked a hundred trainers. Not all of them were mandalorian
00:33:42
Some of them were were bounty hunters or whatnot. Yeah mercenaries that kind of thing
00:33:46
he picked a hundred people to like basically either fake their deaths or
00:33:51
Um just kind of disappear from the galaxy for the 10 years that it took to train the clones
00:33:56
um, they were paid well, but they they
00:33:59
You know disappeared from the face of the universe or face of the galaxy to train those clones
00:34:04
They each had their own like methods of training them
00:34:06
Like I said, not all of them were mandalorians. Not all of them were raised the same way even in the mandalorian culture
00:34:11
Some of them like like dread priest and what what's his girlfriend's name is about is about rao. They were
00:34:18
previous
00:34:20
Death watch they like had like fight clubs, you know within their the troops that they trained
00:34:26
It was they had they did some fucked up shit
00:34:28
Some of them were more like fatherly figures like cow some of them were just hard asses like weylon
00:34:33
They they all had different like methodologies
00:34:35
But anyway, the first book is those those clones, you know learning to work together
00:34:39
They're darmin meets itane who was a jedi padawan on this planet
00:34:44
um
00:34:44
kilora, yes kilora where they
00:34:48
there are two like main species that live there the the kilorans and the um
00:34:56
Like humans, right? The other ones were humans. There were also a lot of weak ways on that planet, too
00:35:00
But most of the weak ways were um the hired help of what's-his-face gashokan that dude. Yeah, gashokan gashokan
00:35:07
Yeah, yeah, they were they were his hired help. Um, so there was a there was a lab on
00:35:13
kilora where the a like basically mad scientist dr uthan was
00:35:18
Developing a virus that specifically targeted the fet genome in an effort to like wipe, you know, basically release a
00:35:25
Uh a nano virus into like the atmosphere of planets to completely wipe out any like fet
00:35:32
You know related people that were showed up on this planet
00:35:34
So essentially she was developing a super virus to wipe out the entire republic army
00:35:40
crazy shit later they break her out of prison like in a later book and they kind of blackmail her into helping them try and
00:35:48
Reverse the accelerated aging on the clones which she is successful in doing in the book that tay hasn't read
00:35:54
But he knew she would be successful. So that's not like a crazy fact. Oh, I get to be tay
00:35:59
Sorry, nakeda
00:36:00
So they they crash land on kilora because their their ship wasn't very good to begin with
00:36:05
They're split up the the troopers darman meets attain and
00:36:09
She had no clue that there was a grand army of the republic
00:36:13
So he basically teaches her how to be his commander because all the jedi even the padawans
00:36:20
Had some rank higher than the clones in the grand army of the republic
00:36:23
Um, so he first told her that she was his ranking officer and then taught her how to be his ranking officer
00:36:31
As they were were traveling through kilora trying to to get to ghez hokan's facility
00:36:36
ghez hokan was a mandalorian mercenary that was hired by dr uthan and the
00:36:41
Was it what was it the trade federation? I forget exactly who was paying her but the cis essentially
00:36:46
You see a lot of like the terror in all of the like ploys of ghez hokan
00:36:50
Basically the the sad saps because ghez was not a a benevolent employer
00:36:56
and
00:36:57
Yeah, so like four clones just in the shadows like speck ops
00:37:04
Hunting down, you know weak ways left and right like the droid they are bad asses
00:37:10
They take on this whole facility by themselves like they tunnel underneath it plant explosives
00:37:15
They capture uthan they I think fee kills ghez hokan and takes his armor
00:37:21
So later on when uh fee gets injured and they kind of they pull him out from that that uh
00:37:27
Republic medical facility and take him to you know for rehab and whatnot
00:37:31
That's the armor he wears from that point is ghez ghez hokan's armor. So he he won that
00:37:35
It was a very good book an intro to the the republic commandos
00:37:39
But you don't really see much of the larger galaxy at all except for like that pocket realm of the the four
00:37:46
You know in omega squad and then etain so I don't know if you know this but just to
00:37:51
Like piggyback off what you said about ghez hokan. Did you know that like vanku's?
00:37:56
Helmet is hokan's helmet because that's what fee gave him interesting
00:38:00
Yeah, I I found that out a couple days ago when I was like relooking through like the books and the uh,
00:38:06
The wiki the wiki page not wiki exotic. I'm improving. Yeah
00:38:12
But yeah, it's a type of site though. See he he thought I was just being stupid to be stupid, but you know
00:38:19
Anyways, continue. Sorry. Yeah, I didn't know that fee had
00:38:23
That um cad war fee's helmet. I wonder if it still had the like brain damage marker on it. Probably not
00:38:31
Maybe you know what?
00:38:32
I feel like cad would be the type of person to leave it on there just to remember fee and then book two
00:38:37
So book two is uh, triple zero triple zero was the code for
00:38:42
Coruscant that the grand army of the republic used zero zero zero
00:38:45
They just kind of designated planets by numbers and they're doing so we we're introduced to
00:38:51
Like a wide range of characters including cal their trainer whale on their trainer
00:38:56
Delta squad is very heavily present, you know present in this book
00:39:00
They do them and delta squad and omega squad do a joint operation to
00:39:05
Well, it was a like drug smuggling ring, right? Um, yeah
00:39:08
And some terrorists like it was a terrorist organization plus a drug smuggling operation or something like that and like
00:39:16
Fee at one point throws himself on a grenade and saves a bunch of like local police force
00:39:22
So like he becomes a hero to them. Oh, yeah, they introduced to laszima. Oh, yeah, they love him
00:39:27
Um, you're introduced to laszima etain I think takes part in this operation as well as barden barden's
00:39:33
Uh a jedi who later, you know leaves the jedi order and just becomes a full mandalorian
00:39:39
Kind of got in, you know, he joined he drank the kool-aid
00:39:42
Yeah, ze was in on it, but ze's a weird one
00:39:46
Ze's a dude a dude his death his death was cool. And then we also had the uh, uh, what was what was her name?
00:39:53
She was a she was a wookie. I liked her because she was very sassy
00:39:56
Uh in naka. Yeah
00:39:59
Yeah, she was the driver
00:40:01
Yeah
00:40:02
She's the getaway driver
00:40:04
so so at one point you're introduced to besony who uh ordo and mariel kind of getting
00:40:12
She is investigating like in the the alleyways like some stuff that's going on
00:40:17
Um, she's she's noticing some transactions because she's a she's an auditor
00:40:21
um
00:40:22
She notices some transactions that aren't lining up and whatnot and she she basically gets hunted down by one of the kalorins who are
00:40:29
Shapeshifters we didn't mention that before but they are shapeshifters super good shapeshifters, too
00:40:34
basically the best like infiltration specialists you can find and
00:40:39
They're following
00:40:41
Besony and at one point I think it's ordo right that puts a puts a bullet in um
00:40:46
One of them not realizing that they were kalorin or was it besony that put the bullet in them?
00:40:50
I forget the only thing from that book that I really remembered that was of note was like a 10
00:40:55
Getting so pissed off at how?
00:40:58
Much kal like loved his clones that he just fucking dukes it out with with wayland
00:41:05
Yeah, he does
00:41:07
Beats the shit out of him because because wayline was not
00:41:10
Like nice to the boys like he he trained them to be hard asses. He trained them to survive
00:41:15
He didn't train them like as like a father figure like so in mandalorian culture
00:41:19
Some of them at least like in kal's case kal had a i'm not gonna go too deep into mandalorian stuff
00:41:24
But kal had a good dad a good adoptive father and who trained him very young trained him to survive
00:41:30
But was a was a very fatherly like loving fatherly figure
00:41:33
whereas waylon
00:41:35
He joined the mandalorian society later. He came from a he was an aristocrat on I forget what planet and his father
00:41:42
You know was absent and whatnot. So he had very different upbringings and their clones were
00:41:47
Trained very differently and a10 was not happy when they finally meet up again. And yeah, we see at one point like
00:41:56
besony is getting followed by that one guy and ordo
00:42:00
Ordo pulls up in a speeder like
00:42:03
Fucking puts his hand over the guy's mouth pushes him into the speeder
00:42:08
And then they're flying around and he just slots the guy and like kicks him out the side and he knock is just like
00:42:14
Did you have to get the upholstery dirty?
00:42:16
Like I I love sassy wookie wookie comedic relief. Yeah, so that that's triple zero
00:42:21
You get you get a lot of delta squad interactions in there along with omega squad omega squad chose to like change their armor colors to all black
00:42:29
They're the only commando squad that does that they
00:42:32
Didn't like walking around in forests with full white armor in the very first book
00:42:37
Okay. Yeah, it was ordo that that shot the kalourn
00:42:40
Um, they did not let him live that down. Yeah, we see you
00:42:43
Trigger happy you can't you can't help it. Sometimes you gotta you gotta let them know that the blicky stay heated
00:42:49
I mean he is a like very
00:42:51
almost feral clone of janko
00:42:54
He just happened to have a loving dad who kept him from going off the deep end, right? Like
00:43:00
You see problem. He put bullet in problem
00:43:04
Shoot first ask questions later. Yeah, so some of some of most of this stuff doesn't
00:43:08
Uh show up in the republic commando game, but you do get a lot of delta squad interaction in this one
00:43:14
And then the next one is so what true?
00:43:18
True contact true colors. It's hard contact. Oh zero and then hard contact. Yeah true colors
00:43:24
True colors is where like phi gets hurt shit kind of starts going down
00:43:29
Um, you start to see like inklings of like things happening in the republic. That's not right like cal and them hunt down
00:43:35
Kosai who was the the main like scientist on kamino who like actually
00:43:42
Developed the fet genome. Um, so it's like she had gone done a runner at one point and they were they were trying to hunt her down
00:43:49
Um delta squad was the one or was the the squad tasked with hunting her down cal and ordo and
00:43:57
Waylon get to her first and they kidnap her and they're trying to
00:44:00
to convince her to reverse the fet genome or the accelerated aging that she you know developed for the fet genome and then
00:44:08
not blackmail, but they try they convince her to do it by giving her a sample of cad's like blood because he's a
00:44:15
Clone and jedi child who is very you know powerful in the force and after she takes a look at the like
00:44:22
The blood sample she offs herself because she was like it was beautiful. Thanks. Peace. This is your problem now. Yeah
00:44:29
Uh, and then mariel made gloves out of her. He used her skin to make leather gloves
00:44:36
Bro, they hated the caminoans, dude
00:44:41
As they should have
00:44:43
I know it's just dude. I love that. He's just like yo when you die, i'ma make some gloves out your ass
00:44:50
And he does and like even in the like way later books, uh, mariel actually meets up with boba fet
00:44:57
Um, and he's still wearing them gloves like he never stops wearing those gloves
00:45:01
I think one thing that they don't mention about caminoans in
00:45:07
Than the clone in the dizzy stuff really is that like caminoans have this weird alien type of
00:45:12
Like vision so the reason why like camino city or not camino city. What's the city name in camino?
00:45:19
It's a topoka. Yeah topoka city on camino. The reason why it's all white is because
00:45:26
It's all white to us since we see in the visible color spectrum like roji biv
00:45:31
But like caminoans see past that like both below and above it
00:45:35
So like we don't really know what topoka city actually looks like to them
00:45:40
But it's assumed that it's like regally and flamboyantly colored they hint on that in the book
00:45:45
So I thought that was a pretty cool fun fact about caminoans also
00:45:49
They are very like their caste system is based on eye color
00:45:55
Literally straight based off on based off eye color if you got green was it green eyes?
00:45:59
You're like basically treated the same as like a slave would be treated like it's so like when you see the various
00:46:07
uh caminoans in like clone wars and whatnot with certain eye colors like just pay attention to that because
00:46:12
The the fancy guys got the the good eye colors. Yeah going back to what nakeda said
00:46:17
I always thought that you know
00:46:18
They just had all white in their facilities because it was like a research facility and shit like that
00:46:23
So it's kind of wild that it's just because they see the world differently than us
00:46:28
You know, they just want everything to be perfect literally long neck bitches
00:46:31
How you gonna be a perfectionist on a planet that's drowning sounds kind of toxic
00:46:36
Yeah
00:46:36
So after after true colors where we kind of start seeing inkling of like what's what's happening in within the the republic?
00:46:44
The next book is titled order 66. So I'm you can imagine what goes down
00:46:48
We see a lot of like clones being conflicted about what's going on, you know, should they or shouldn't they slot their jedi?
00:46:55
You know commanders and whatnot. Um
00:46:58
Um, there's a lot of moral debate and arguments and internal, you know conflict in that book attain is
00:47:06
killed by another jedi
00:47:10
Oh, man
00:47:11
It still hurts every time I think about it. She steps in front of a clone trooper to protect him from a
00:47:18
Rampaging like jedi trying to escape the city of coruscant and she who is a jedi herself gets
00:47:25
You know slashed across the chest and dies
00:47:27
Um, and then it like, you know immediately transitions to like cal
00:47:32
Is it cal's pov first or is it darman's pov first? I think it's darman's first
00:47:37
It's darman's first and he's just in his helmet, which they have, you know noise canceling. So nobody can hear him
00:47:43
He's just screaming her name
00:47:45
Inside his helmet trying to help his brother niner who fell off a bridge
00:47:50
Because he he got like knocked off by one of the jedi and he had you know
00:47:54
Spinal damage for a little while and then it pans to cal who is basically treating been
00:48:00
You know treating her like a daughter for a while and you know his
00:48:04
Her son is his you know
00:48:06
grandson basically because he's adopted his the clones that he trained and
00:48:11
He goes off on that jedi like pushes through a whole ass crowd
00:48:16
Like looks this man right in the eyes and and I think he uses a lightsaber to kill him. Doesn't he I don't remember
00:48:24
I thought he shot him. I maybe he did I I totally felt like or maybe he just picked up the lightsaber and like kept it
00:48:30
I forget like he was so mad. He hunted that man down and and mind you cal came from
00:48:36
I'm gonna get in whatever cal came from
00:48:39
A group of mandalorians that were part of the the true mandalorians that were led by jangle fet during
00:48:44
their war against the death watch and he wasn't
00:48:48
Present at the battle of galdron and he wished he was because most of them did where you know
00:48:54
The the jedi basically massacred the the true mandalorian forces
00:48:59
Um, so he they all have a thing like they hate jedi
00:49:02
And so the second he's like first of all hates jedi already second of all
00:49:08
It's his daughter-in-law just got murdered by a jedi
00:49:11
Regardless of the fact that she's a jedi herself. Oh, it's a lightsaber kill. Yeah, he goes he pops off on that fucker
00:49:18
Literally, I thought it was a lightsaber kill
00:49:19
It's like the the passage is like you can see the panic
00:49:23
Like he could see the panic in the guy's eyes when he realized that he was wearing beskar and he just went to town on him
00:49:30
And then he got he got knocked out by obram right like because he was just rampaging at that point
00:49:35
I think he got knocked out. He just got like some sense slapped into him. Are you sure?
00:49:40
I could have sworn obram like knocked him out grabbed attain's body and they they peaced out
00:49:46
Did I don't I don't I was mostly focusing on the mental trauma on the on the wiki
00:49:50
It says skyrata goes insane after attain's death and darman's shock and attacks the jedi where the jedi are all killed darman
00:49:57
And niner are both picked up by a medical ladi and disappear as joller obram knocks
00:50:03
Skyrata out with a drug and take attain's body away with the rest of the skyrata's defecting group back to mandalore
00:50:08
That's okay. I I did because I was trying to think if he hid him
00:50:12
I knew like I was like, I don't think he hid him. But yeah, okay. Yeah, he he popped him full of some
00:50:17
Drugs some yeah, we love drugs
00:50:20
Um, so that was basically the end of of order 66 and then the next book imperial commando is
00:50:26
Very different. It's you know, the beginning of the empire the commandos are
00:50:32
now retasked to
00:50:34
uh be jedi hunters, so they
00:50:36
They report almost directly to vader. They report to a guy who reports directly to vader
00:50:42
Um, and their whole job is hunting rogue jedi kind of like the inquisitors were doing
00:50:48
you know in
00:50:50
Rebels and whatnot and they were very good at hunting jedi. Let me tell you
00:50:54
It's only niner and darman that stay behind delta squad does stay behind
00:50:58
But at this point they had lost sev so part of the reason they stayed behind was to to help find you know
00:51:03
Try and look for sev my poor boy
00:51:05
uh, they
00:51:07
Don't ever find sev or sev and his sexy voice. I miss him and
00:51:12
Yeah, it's darman's mental trauma him likes slowly going insane
00:51:17
Niner trying to keep his you know, homies shit together. Yeah, it's like them hunting jedi
00:51:22
So it's it's the scurrata clan like taking in some
00:51:26
Questionable figures to try and reverse the the accelerated aging that's kind of their main their main task at one point
00:51:33
Palpatine releases a
00:51:35
Super virus that was a modified version of uthan's super virus
00:51:40
But instead it just wipes out anything living on a planet and he completely
00:51:45
Distr- you know kills like all
00:51:47
Living things on her home planet, which was pretty fucked
00:51:50
like I mean a death star is one thing where it like insta blows up your planet, but a
00:51:55
Super virus that you release into the atmosphere that like melts all of the living, you know tissue on it
00:52:01
That's that's pretty fucked up too
00:52:03
So and that was very early on in the imperial reign some real crazy shit that happens
00:52:08
But it checks out for palpatine's crazy ass, you know gay evil mastermind mind
00:52:14
What then you you know, it's it's i'm glad you mentioned like super anything really because like they they also mention
00:52:21
um
00:52:22
jen altus
00:52:23
Who's the leader of like the hippie jedis that can like get married and have emotional attachments and stuff while they're on the run
00:52:30
And I think it was you who mentioned it in the in the book that I haven't read yet
00:52:34
It's like they bring in the eye of palpatine which is like another super weapon that had to do with that group
00:52:40
So i'm glad that it was all tied into each other. Honestly, i'm excited
00:52:44
Yeah, the the book that he hasn't read is uh, basically it's it's a fan-made book
00:52:49
But it it does a very good job of of wrapping it is a fully fleshed out book
00:52:54
Um, this guy's written like 15 of them kind of to like wrap up
00:52:58
What was you know written in legends before disney took over?
00:53:02
he uh since disney bought it he went you know took the
00:53:06
took the effort to to finish out the
00:53:10
You know the unwrapped up series so he does incorporate a lot of various elements into these so the eye of palpatine is one
00:53:18
Calista masana, right? Calista masana is her name who becomes the
00:53:23
Is it oh it's calista ming or is that someone else fact check for you? Oh, it's
00:53:27
What's okay? Yeah
00:53:29
Okay, calista ming originally known as calista masana. Okay, was it ming after the body swap?
00:53:35
Yeah, ming after the body swap. Yeah
00:53:37
So she's the one who became the ai that luke had a thing with uh that we talked about many episodes ago
00:53:43
She's in that book and how she became the the ai
00:53:47
Or how she became a spirit inside the the eye of palpatine like that's that's explained in that book
00:53:53
What happened to the jinn altis?
00:53:55
uh the altis sect of the the jedi order, you know is explained in that book the
00:54:01
Kind of wrap up to or a good wrap up to what happens with the scurrata clan and why some of them
00:54:07
Are missing in the later books where a few of them do show up. That's explained what happens to my my poor man darmin
00:54:15
after his
00:54:16
slow descent into madness and
00:54:18
And niner his brother who tried his best to to keep help his brother keep his shit together and then delta squad who?
00:54:27
Go rogue recruit a couple other commandos and like the six of them fully
00:54:35
Incapacitate and capture and then escape with an imperial star destroyer. That was that was some deep, you know some good-ass shit
00:54:41
I think it was uh, one of browler's squads. What was the I don't remember the name, but yeah delta delta squad is
00:54:49
Very prevalent in all of those. I don't know. Have you ever played the republic commando game me in general?
00:54:53
I'm just saying in general if you've ever played the game like if you haven't played the game listeners
00:54:59
Oh, I thought you were talking to us
00:55:01
Motherfucker keeps interrupting me. I was so good bro. You've been talking the whole time
00:55:06
You deserve a little interruption. Fuck it falling asleep over here. Okay, like
00:55:10
What I'm talking about the you know, whatever we're gonna there's gonna be like five episodes of mandalorian shit
00:55:17
Where i'm not gonna shut the fuck up the whole time
00:55:20
So this is just a this is just a little teaser of of the mandalorian stuff where I just bore the shit out of
00:55:26
all of you with with mandalorian facts and lore to um
00:55:30
Do these books do they go into any detail of the I think it's like one of the commando squads that actually disobeyed order 66
00:55:37
because they thought it was just like uh,
00:55:39
Like a false transmission. I think so. I don't remember that at all. I I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if multiple so like
00:55:46
In legends there was never a chip. There was never a chip forcing any of the clones to do anything
00:55:52
It was just training right in clone wars
00:55:55
They kind of took away that like mental anguish that the the boys went through when they're like, what do we do?
00:56:01
Like do we follow this?
00:56:02
Like are we supposed to like is this real like the guy that we've been following is like, you know
00:56:07
We fought with for years all of a sudden is just a traitor. Like do we kill him? Like really? Are you sure?
00:56:14
It's just hey order 66 happens. Here's an electrical pulse being sent to your brain shooty shooty light stick guy
00:56:21
I mean in bad batch
00:56:22
They kind of you kind of see like the after effects on some of the clones like cody for example
00:56:27
He uh, sure sure like the you know
00:56:29
What when you you know sit back and you're like damn did we really just do that?
00:56:32
But like at the moment like you know in the moment they don't have a choice
00:56:36
They're they're literally programmed like droids, which they aren't droids
00:56:40
But they're programmed like droids to just follow any of the executive orders
00:56:44
It was just kind of fucked up when you think about it. It's fucked up even if you don't think about it
00:56:49
imagine imagine
00:56:50
Being a person and elon musk puts a neural link in your brain and then elon musk is like yo
00:56:57
Everybody who's married shoot your spouse and then you just do it because chip in brain like that's the future baby
00:57:04
Isn't uh disney working on like the what-if series for star wars. I did see that. Yeah
00:57:10
Yeah, so maybe maybe they'll dive into like what if the clones, you know, didn't actually execute the order
00:57:15
That'd be pretty cool. I don't know how I feel about a what-if series
00:57:19
I feel like it makes me want think about too many things that are never gonna happen and don't matter
00:57:23
I mean, I like the what-if series that they're doing for marvel. It's pretty cool. I never watched it
00:57:27
All right, mr. Mandalorian is your diatribe over or you got more stuff you want to talk about?
00:57:32
I I mean I I could keep going for days
00:57:37
You went a lot longer than I thought you were gonna have a long ass episode my bad
00:57:41
Yeah, I just wasn't expecting you to go as long as you did. It's not as a bad thing
00:57:46
You got me going and then I didn't get you doing shit, sir
00:57:50
This was all in your own accord you asked me to pick a topic
00:57:54
We picked the topic. So yeah, I just I didn't shut up good
00:57:58
I wish you were like that all the time half the time you just look at me and don't say shit
00:58:01
This man says that I show up with no enthusiasm
00:58:05
This is bullshit. Uh, you show up with enthusiasm when it's dealing with clones or mandalorians the second I mentioned jedi jedi
00:58:12
You're like here's a jedi single fan. I can't be here and exist
00:58:18
Properly because all he talked about is jedi. That's you jedi
00:58:22
Some jedi are cool name one jedi. You think that is cool that we haven't mentioned so far that we haven't mentioned. Yeah, uh, uh, uh
00:58:30
Oh god, what's his name? Oh god. No, shut up
00:58:34
He's a he's a he's a not the not a long guy. What's his name? You don't even know his fucking name
00:58:39
You're talking about kit fisto. I am talking about kit fisto fisto that kit. All right on that note
