In this episode, the boys take on Andor again after touching on the topic back in Season 1.
00:00:00
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do.
00:00:06
I wonder where the idiots are at.
00:00:08
Hello?
00:00:10
Where the fuck is Captain Asshole at?
00:00:12
You're already here.
00:00:14
Eat shit taco burrito man.
00:00:16
My god the first thing I heard was eat shit taco burrito man and it was so loud.
00:00:20
I was thinking we could either revisit and or, or the other option is just give me the
00:00:24
chance to do it.
00:00:26
Revisit and or, or the other option is we rank all uh all 11 star wars movies.
00:00:34
Been a hot minute since I've seen and or so ranking might be better for me.
00:00:37
But it's up to y'all.
00:00:38
I don't care either way.
00:00:39
So it's ranked the 11 and what was the other option?
00:00:42
Revisit and or since that was our first, the first episode of the podcast but y'all weren't
00:00:47
here.
00:00:48
We never finished it.
00:00:49
Well I've actually, yeah I mean I've recently-ish rewatched and or so.
00:00:54
So have I but exotic said he hasn't.
00:00:57
I didn't really like it.
00:00:59
It's like the best series that Disney has released hands- you know what I'm not gonna
00:01:02
get into this right now just to save it for later.
00:01:04
This is perfect though because we have a dissenter in the chat.
00:01:08
Okay fine yeah and or I send and or.
00:01:10
I mean we've been pretty sure we went over this like I'm pretty sure we had like a question
00:01:15
of like favorite series and we had this whole argument already.
00:01:18
I don't remember that.
00:01:19
You part of a different Star Wars podcast buddy?
00:01:21
No I'm about 95% sure that we've had a question.
00:01:24
Oh hold on 95% sure so there's 5% doubt?
00:01:28
Yeah.
00:01:29
I like those odds.
00:01:30
No I like those odds.
00:01:31
My money's on the 5%.
00:01:32
I don't know if it was a question but I know it was brought up and I've said that I didn't
00:01:36
really like Antimaria Nigga.
00:01:37
Oh look the doubt is sowing itself.
00:01:39
Just trying it's probably been a while.
00:01:41
It's oh it's we're down to probably now.
00:01:43
It was 95% sure that's probably.
00:01:45
No I said it's probably been a while.
00:01:47
Uh huh.
00:01:48
I mean if you want to go back and listen to every single one of our episodes and see when
00:01:52
it was brought up you can.
00:01:54
Wait what was the thing that was brought up?
00:01:56
Sorry I was typing.
00:01:57
Oh I've already expressed that I didn't really like Andor.
00:01:59
In what?
00:02:00
What do you mean?
00:02:01
It was like a question or it was like.
00:02:03
I swear this is my first time hearing you say this and I listened to all of our episodes.
00:02:07
Like I said about 95% sure we've brought it up before.
00:02:10
It keeps fluctuating.
00:02:11
First it was I'm sure then it was I'm 95% sure then it was probably.
00:02:14
Now we're back to 95% sure at least confidence going the other way.
00:02:17
I said it was I said it's probably been a while.
00:02:20
Oh that has nothing to do with my.
00:02:22
It's probably been a while.
00:02:24
So you don't even know when it's been.
00:02:26
No I don't that's why you're looking.
00:02:29
I've gotten under his skin folks I already went here.
00:02:32
We haven't even started yet.
00:02:34
I just got done with the car ride I'll go to fucking sleep fuck y'all.
00:02:40
Alright so Andor?
00:02:42
Sure.
00:02:43
Ok bye.
00:02:44
Music.
00:03:07
Hey everyone and welcome to the force unscripted it's your boy Nikita here with my co-hosts Winxy and Exotic.
00:03:14
What's up boys?
00:03:15
What's up?
00:03:16
Did you just grumble at me?
00:03:18
I said what up?
00:03:19
Oh all I heard was.
00:03:21
Thought you were like is he growling at me?
00:03:24
Exotic is part of the furry community.
00:03:26
I don't know if you guys know that his whole his whole IGN is Exotic Fox.
00:03:29
He's he's been a avid and influential member in the furry community.
00:03:34
Definitely not part of my name.
00:03:36
That's crazy.
00:03:38
You can insinuate all you want.
00:03:40
So you're saying you've never been referred to.
00:03:42
So wait hold on so you're saying you've never been referred to as Exotic Fox.
00:03:45
That's not even your name?
00:03:47
I'm talking about it's actually part of my name.
00:03:49
Yeah I know but you are Exotic Fox right?
00:03:53
That was once my.
00:03:54
So you don't deny the Exotic Fox allegations is what I'm asking you here.
00:03:58
No that was my name before.
00:04:00
So yeah so you do not deny the Exotic Fox allegations.
00:04:04
But I'm saying Fox is part of my name.
00:04:06
Correct but you do not deny the Exotic Fox allegations.
00:04:10
You can put out whatever allegations you want but.
00:04:12
So as you can see this this affluent member of the furry community is here as a part of our podcast.
00:04:19
He represents not only Star Wars nerds but the furry community at large.
00:04:23
Thank you so much for being a representative of the great community that is the furry community.
00:04:28
Nothing?
00:04:29
Ignoring you seems to work better than trying to fight with you.
00:04:33
Oh guys okay anyways today we're here to talk about Andor actually with the final announcement that the season is going to be starting up in April of 25.
00:04:44
We decided to revisit Andor because the first time we talked about Andor was the very first episode of this podcast ever.
00:04:53
And Exotic and when she weren't a part of the squad back then.
00:04:56
So it's time to revisit because we never finished it technically so I'm very much excited to continue to talk about Andor.
00:05:03
I think that as a series Andor is the best thing that Disney has put out.
00:05:09
And I think as far as movies go Rogue One is definitely the best thing that Disney has put out in my opinion at least.
00:05:15
And so getting to talk about Andor and the upcoming Andor season 2 is going to be absolutely fantastic.
00:05:21
I can agree with you on Rogue One but not Andor.
00:05:24
He just wants to get beat.
00:05:26
Yeah okay so what is the best series that Disney has put out then?
00:05:31
The best series?
00:05:32
The best series if it's not Andor what is it?
00:05:35
What do you think is better than Andor?
00:05:37
Are we counting season 7 of Clone Wars?
00:05:40
That is a series that they put out.
00:05:42
It's not a series it's a season of a series but it's not the entirety of their series.
00:05:47
That's mostly Cartoon Network's work so no they can't take the W for that one I'm sorry.
00:05:51
Fine Mandalorian then. Mandalorian is better than Andor.
00:05:54
You think Mandalorian?
00:05:56
Yep.
00:05:57
Wow.
00:05:58
Bro I love Mando.
00:05:59
Season 3 not so much and the Luke Skywalker scene will be forever goaded but no I do not think that Mando is better than Andor.
00:06:09
Season 3 not so much my ass.
00:06:12
What do you mean my ass?
00:06:14
Season 3 is like the best one.
00:06:16
I was just saying that as a shout out to the film Bros Against You I love all of Mando.
00:06:24
I was really confused about who you were for a moment.
00:06:29
Hey for once I pulled the cover over his face over his eyes he couldn't see.
00:06:36
I'm learning I'm adapting.
00:06:38
They're still talking about that shit on Twitter anyway.
00:06:41
Don't worry it's like you know like when people say like if you give a monkey a typewriter eventually it'll write out like whatever.
00:06:49
Well yes because I did a force facts including that little tidbit.
00:06:53
Okay well typewriter.
00:06:55
You lost them.
00:06:56
They'll get there eventually.
00:06:58
They'll get there eventually.
00:07:01
They type enough times on Twitter eventually they'll have a good take.
00:07:08
That's so toxic.
00:07:11
I'm going to have to send this to them.
00:07:13
Anyways no I don't think that Mando is better than Andor but we can save that for another time.
00:07:18
This is all about Andor and I loved a lot of things about Andor that I feel like a lot of actually I would even go so far as to say that like Andor mostly does a great job at how do I say this?
00:07:34
Like they do a great job at humanizing parts of the Empire.
00:07:38
Like one of the things that you know that is discussed and brought up in legends and Luke kind of lives with this for like you know all of his life post Return of the Jedi is that like he destroyed the Death Star.
00:07:53
And you know being associated with the Empire kind of inherently makes you mucky but like you know the Empire changed their life for the better.
00:08:00
And so at some point you have to admit that Luke Skywalker killed millions of innocent lives.
00:08:05
And so this series shows what's the word the humanity of the people who are within the Empire and we see that in like the case of Serol.
00:08:13
Like Serol is just trying to do what he thinks is right not conceding on his morals fighting for the end goal and then ended up failing getting bitched at by his mother tries to go back and succeed sees his opportunity and you know he fucking pulls the trigger on it.
00:08:29
And I feel like any human trying to make it in that situation would have tried maybe not the same way but still put the same effort into you know trying to shoot their shot.
00:08:39
So like I feel like it brings a human aspect that nothing else in Star Wars does when it comes to the Empire.
00:08:46
You know most of like Star Wars media there's some force user right?
00:08:52
A Jedi or a Sith or a small green child whatever it might be but Endor has none of that it's just normal people live in their normal people lives.
00:09:03
I mean some of them are more or normal than others some of them have laser swords that come out the sides of their spaceships but they are none of them are force users.
00:09:15
So it's nice to have a series where it's just focused on normal people.
00:09:20
I think that's why I really didn't grab my attention because like when I watch Star Wars I want to see you know badass fucking motherfuckers going at each other with swords motherfuckers and armors flying around shooting each other fucking magical force just fucking everything up.
00:09:35
It's just Endor is just a little bland for me I think that's why I didn't really like it.
00:09:39
So he's mad because there's no Wookie Jedi in it.
00:09:42
Yeah basically.
00:09:43
You know what honestly exotic I understand you I feel like that just means you're a more immature Star Wars fan because I feel like in a world that's post prequels where we're getting Star Wars series like sure it's cool that like there's a lot of action and stuff but like I want something that shows this kind of things like because not only that like you got to think about this goes into the what is like the the founding roots of the rebellion right?
00:10:12
You get to see Mon Mothma who we know becomes chief of state after DS2 blows up in the Emperor's death.
00:10:19
To see a character that you know we don't have we really don't have much about even in this day and age but we have more than what we had in the original trilogy who is the leader of the rebellion the leader of the New Republic and you get to see them like having to deal with a fucking emotional outlashing from their child.
00:10:38
I understand how it can it can be mundane but like I like the small little things that make the characters that we know just a little bit more relatable because every like a lot of people have been in that situation if not the parent then the actual you know outbursting teenager.
00:10:58
I don't know it's cool you see how characters with certain idiosyncratic tendencies you know come to be.
00:11:05
I just think it's cool.
00:11:06
Well I'm kind of like thinking but.
00:11:09
Yeah I'm waiting for exotic.
00:11:11
It's just like I don't know I need something to grab my attention and and or just didn't really grab it I mean yeah it was interesting to watch but you can't fucking ask me like anything that really happened in like the only thing that I really remember from watching it is the prison scene.
00:11:27
That was pretty much it.
00:11:28
He really hates good shows.
00:11:30
I mean I'm not saying that it was bad like in any way I'm just saying I didn't enjoy it.
00:11:35
There wasn't enough Michael Bay explosions for him and so it lost his attention.
00:11:39
I don't even like Michael Bay movies.
00:11:42
He just wants to see people stick their hands out and shit float around I got it.
00:11:47
I mean all I'm saying is if Cal knock I made a cameo I probably would have been more interested.
00:11:52
In and or.
00:11:55
God.
00:11:57
Anyways,
00:11:58
He's a Jedi.
00:11:59
Fuck God such a immature ass.
00:12:02
Or here more realistic cameo Boca ton there you go.
00:12:05
Well we got a cameo from the force unleashed like we got the Starkiller armor was in the back.
00:12:11
Yeah but it's still not canon so it doesn't matter.
00:12:13
How do you know it could be there's nothing stopping but there's nothing stopping fucking Starkiller from being canon you don't know that yet.
00:12:22
We haven't seen a Soka season two.
00:12:24
That's why I said yet it's not count canon yes it don't matter.
00:12:27
Whenever it becomes canon it all matter.
00:12:29
Eat my ass you've gotten us so fucking derailed with your fucking and or bullshit and or is great man.
00:12:35
Like I'm saying it's not a bad series.
00:12:37
I personally just didn't enjoy it.
00:12:39
Okay well tell us what you enjoyed about it then.
00:12:42
The prison scene that's like the only thing I remember from it.
00:12:45
That's it.
00:12:46
Yeah that was a really cool scene I like the you know I don't even know how to fucking explain really the scene but like just the process of them trying to figure out how to get the fuck out of there.
00:12:54
That was pretty cool.
00:12:55
Yes if that's all you have to say then god damn like this series is so complex you could talk about you could do three episodes straight about and or in all honesty the references to the recording empire.
00:13:08
When it comes to the rebellion you've got two ends of the spectrum you've got Mon Mothma and Saw Gerrera both extremists in their own rights.
00:13:15
And I just think that going into just everything about the fucking chandral and some senator like it's just it's crazy.
00:13:23
I just can't really get into it.
00:13:25
I don't know.
00:13:26
Have you tried to get into it.
00:13:27
Yes I've watched it twice.
00:13:29
Twice.
00:13:30
Yep.
00:13:31
Okay you know what I'm going to call bullshit on this because if you were so uninterested in it why did you go back and rewatch it.
00:13:39
Explain.
00:13:40
Because we brought up before you know even though unscripted we brought it before that we were probably going to do another thing on Andor.
00:13:46
How long ago was that exotic.
00:13:48
Like four or five months ago.
00:13:50
Okay yeah so still unscripted because you didn't know we were going to be recording this today.
00:13:55
Not at all.
00:13:56
Exactly.
00:13:57
So I watched it when it came out and then I rewatched it about four or five months ago.
00:14:01
And nothing caught you.
00:14:02
Nothing.
00:14:03
Okay anyways welcome to the force unscripted.
00:14:06
I'm your host Nikkada with my other co-host Winchie and some asshole named Exotic.
00:14:11
Me and my co-host are going to be talking about Andor.
00:14:15
Is he even allowed to be a co-host anymore after that.
00:14:18
I mean I can go to fucking sleep.
00:14:20
You're all meant to.
00:14:21
You love us.
00:14:22
You love us.
00:14:23
Shut up.
00:14:24
You're the one fucking trying to kick me off.
00:14:25
No you get yourself off.
00:14:27
No no no no no.
00:14:28
There's there's being kicked like fucking 300 down the well and then there's just jumping off the cliff.
00:14:35
Brother you are doing the latter.
00:14:37
You're making a big deal out of my opinion.
00:14:39
I don't know if I'm necessarily making a big deal.
00:14:42
There's only three of us here buddy.
00:14:43
Yeah.
00:14:44
About to be two.
00:14:45
Oh god you're so salty.
00:14:47
I have lots of things to say about Andor.
00:14:50
I preferred the first half of the show with the heist set up and everything like that in terms of like the suspense and how in like awe of the show that I was especially with the meteor shower thing when they're escaping.
00:15:07
That scene is I think one of the best scenes in Star Wars ever.
00:15:11
I thought it was fantastic.
00:15:12
The cinematography.
00:15:13
The suspense.
00:15:15
I thought it was really good.
00:15:17
And I also really enjoy whenever.
00:15:21
What's his low whatever the old guy.
00:15:24
What's his name again.
00:15:25
The one who owns the shop.
00:15:27
Mm hmm.
00:15:28
Oh fuck.
00:15:29
Don't give me a.
00:15:30
Luthian.
00:15:31
Is it Luthian.
00:15:32
Luthen.
00:15:33
Luthen.
00:15:34
Yeah.
00:15:35
Okay.
00:15:36
I was close.
00:15:37
Yeah when Luthen totally fucks up that Star Destroyer.
00:15:39
The little baby one.
00:15:40
That was fantastic.
00:15:42
I really enjoyed the just like being the swashbuckling not Han Solo type.
00:15:48
You know like actually plans out what's happening.
00:15:51
Plays it off really well.
00:15:53
Destroys the whole damn thing gets away.
00:15:55
Cuts two TIE fighters in half with laser swords that come out the sides of a spaceship.
00:15:59
I mean what's not to love there.
00:16:01
Prison scene is cool.
00:16:03
You know it's got good momentum to it.
00:16:06
But I actually preferred the other like half of the show to the prison stuff.
00:16:10
Hmm.
00:16:12
You know I hadn't thought about splitting it like that.
00:16:14
I.
00:16:15
Hmm.
00:16:16
I hadn't thought about that actually.
00:16:17
I don't know which half I like better.
00:16:19
I like both halves in their own right.
00:16:21
If I had to rewatch only a part of it.
00:16:24
Where one had to be summarized and then you watch the other part.
00:16:27
I feel like I would rather watch the first half summarize and then the latter part.
00:16:31
Because like I feel like the most important part was in the in the first part was seeing that like.
00:16:37
The last scene really didn't give a shit. He was very much interested in his own cause.
00:16:41
And then you know by the time he gets a Rogue One he's super you know for the rebellion doing what he has to.
00:16:47
Killing who he has to to make sure that their side wins.
00:16:50
I am more interested in seeing like in seeing what influenced such a shift.
00:16:56
And like right now we're seeing like at least at the end of season one you're seeing like.
00:17:01
Ah yeah he's getting tortured by the Empire.
00:17:04
And I feel like anyone who's going to get tortured by the Empire is going to fucking retaliate once they get out.
00:17:08
Especially in someone like his situation.
00:17:12
Yeah but I think if like if you just took out the whole prison sequence of the show.
00:17:18
You could still get the majority of the sentiment across like and not really skip any details.
00:17:25
Because after the heist we have the little time skip and then he goes to prison.
00:17:33
A couple things happen but he gets out of prison and then immediately goes back home.
00:17:37
Where like the rest of the show takes place basically.
00:17:41
Like if you just took out the whole prison section.
00:17:43
Other than to tell you like yeah he hates the Empire because they tortured him kind of deal.
00:17:47
That's the only detail from the whole prison thing that you really actually like need.
00:17:52
To know like for the last two episodes of the series.
00:17:56
And then the first half is him running away from home.
00:18:00
Meeting the kid with the manifesto.
00:18:03
Working together with the crew.
00:18:05
The kid dying.
00:18:06
Him being upset.
00:18:08
Him taking the manifesto from the dead kid.
00:18:11
All that stuff.
00:18:12
Like I felt like that was much more important to his growth than.
00:18:15
Okay he went to prison now he hates the people who put him in prison.
00:18:18
I mean that's a pretty easy to understand concept.
00:18:21
I mean I don't necessarily disagree with you as far as growth is concerned.
00:18:25
But I feel like when it comes to being more polarized.
00:18:29
I feel like being tortured and in that system is a little bit more like polarizing.
00:18:35
Than the manifesto of the kid that died.
00:18:37
I don't know because like when he first comes onto the job he's just a mercenary right.
00:18:42
And yeah okay by the end of the prison thing he's decided to be you know full on rebel.
00:18:49
But I don't know I feel like there's a lot more growth from him coming on as a merc.
00:18:54
And then meeting the kid and talking about you know the rebellion.
00:18:58
Getting away like you know winning the or scoring in the heist.
00:19:02
But then like half the people died.
00:19:05
All the like fallout from that kind of thing.
00:19:07
I don't know I feel like that was much more impactful than okay we escaped prison.
00:19:13
I mean we're still not disagreeing.
00:19:14
What I'm saying is like yes he probably grew more from that.
00:19:18
But I'm talking about like switching sides.
00:19:20
Growth doesn't necessarily mean a change in side.
00:19:22
You can still grow as a person and still think one way or another.
00:19:26
And be on one side or the other rather.
00:19:28
I'm not saying he didn't grow more in that time period.
00:19:31
I'm just saying like without the prison thing right.
00:19:35
Like say he just goes on living the way he was living.
00:19:38
He was never going to turn into the empire hating rebellion leader.
00:19:44
That he was by the time Rogue One came.
00:19:46
As opposed to if he just kept the manifesto.
00:19:49
Didn't get arrested.
00:19:50
I don't think it.
00:19:52
I don't think he gets the call to action the way he does if he doesn't go to prison.
00:19:57
I think he still does.
00:19:58
But I still don't think.
00:19:59
Are you sure?
00:20:00
Yeah because the empire still pulls up to his home.
00:20:06
And like fucks with his moms.
00:20:08
Fucks with the girl.
00:20:10
Like tortures the girl.
00:20:11
Kills the one guy.
00:20:13
Like he's coming back.
00:20:14
That's what I'm saying.
00:20:15
You don't need the prison sequence.
00:20:16
Because he comes back and the empire has fucking like destroyed his home.
00:20:20
And his moms is dead.
00:20:22
It's easy to just play that as why he switched.
00:20:25
Maybe.
00:20:26
I don't know.
00:20:27
I still think what I think.
00:20:28
Like it's like it's okay that you feel that way.
00:20:31
I just it's a it's a agree to disagree upon thing.
00:20:35
I still feel like you don't want to agree to disagree.
00:20:39
That's fine.
00:20:41
Toxic.
00:20:43
He's like I want these verbal hands.
00:20:45
It's just like those portions of the shows that felt more well written to me.
00:20:51
I guess.
00:20:52
Like they built suspense really well.
00:20:54
People die and you know the plot twists weren't too crazy.
00:21:00
I guess.
00:21:01
Not that there were many.
00:21:02
I mean it threw me the fuck off when he got arrested.
00:21:04
Because I didn't see that coming the first time.
00:21:05
I'm not gonna lie.
00:21:06
Yeah neither did I.
00:21:07
It's just stupid.
00:21:08
I would have been.
00:21:09
I mean like I guess like you can't be pissed.
00:21:11
There's nothing you can do about it.
00:21:12
But I would have been so fucking mad.
00:21:14
You're just chilling at a tropical resort and like you get pushed a little bit one time.
00:21:20
And then all of a sudden you're in prison working on Death Star parts.
00:21:23
You know what would have been cool.
00:21:25
Very on Star Wars like.
00:21:26
But if they had done an in Medius res kind of thing with with Andor like started off with him getting arrested.
00:21:34
It's like you may be wondering how I got here.
00:21:36
Then do the whole like high sequence.
00:21:38
And then at the end you're just like oh shit.
00:21:42
It would be funny.
00:21:44
Definitely not Star Wars style but definitely hilarious.
00:21:48
I want some shit like that.
00:21:49
I want some shit like that of Taiko Waititi and the Star Wars thing goes through.
00:21:53
Because like wasn't there something about like him not not getting the deal after all or something like that.
00:21:59
Or are we still getting Star Wars Taiko Waititi.
00:22:01
There was like some rumors of it getting canceled.
00:22:03
But there's also been rumors of not canceled and scripts still being worked on and stuff.
00:22:09
So I don't actually know.
00:22:10
But you're not liking Andor.
00:22:12
It just didn't catch me.
00:22:13
But Dave Filoni enjoyer.
00:22:15
You know it can catch you.
00:22:17
Not your hands.
00:22:18
These hands buddy.
00:22:20
I'm saying they just have to have Dave Filoni write everything and I'll be interested.
00:22:23
When fucking cereal's mom just starts bitching at him like mom things like I was triggered but I loved it.
00:22:30
She's just like eat your fucking cereal you dumb fuck.
00:22:33
God.
00:22:34
Then the thing where he's like your uncle got you this job make sure you perform well.
00:22:40
You don't want to make enemies.
00:22:42
Like mom fuck.
00:22:43
I know.
00:22:44
She did sound kind of low.
00:22:47
It was definitely it was you know what.
00:22:49
And not only that but like you know we're post election results here and Star Wars is political.
00:22:58
I think another thing that it really shows well too is like the inherent misogyny of the Empire as well because you have that one imperial.
00:23:08
We'll see.
00:23:09
She was an intelligence officer right.
00:23:10
And she's just like trying to do her job and her colleagues.
00:23:14
There's something along the lines of like you know make sure the ladder is stable before you try to climb it when she's just she's doing her job and he's the one trying to get brownie points and shit.
00:23:24
And it's like the Empire just didn't like women and they just wanted them to stay in their place and not try to move up.
00:23:29
And she's just trying to do what she thinks is best for the Empire.
00:23:32
The moments like that when you see certain political issues and things that are in life also kind of come into the realm of sci fi.
00:23:43
Sometimes it can be annoying.
00:23:44
Don't get me wrong especially if you overplay it.
00:23:46
But I liked the way that they they did it for Star Wars because like when you read the lore and legends and I don't know if it's the same for canon but like the Empire kind of.
00:23:53
Alls in on the misogyny you know they only want human males to be the everything I don't see much in Star Wars where they talk about color skin.
00:24:02
I just think human male is the the line that they draw.
00:24:06
And if you're anything past the line of human male you're just less.
00:24:10
So I kind of like to see the space racism.
00:24:12
It's better than it's better than real life racism for sure.
00:24:15
The sexism.
00:24:16
Well both the answer is yes.
00:24:18
They are both sexist and racist.
00:24:20
Be she's too.
00:24:21
Specious yep.
00:24:23
They're just xenophobes.
00:24:24
I can't believe Exotic has nothing to say about this series outside of told you I didn't like it.
00:24:31
Talk about how much you hate it.
00:24:33
Talk about what you did.
00:24:34
I told you I just didn't capture me.
00:24:38
I don't remember anything from it because I just couldn't get captured into it.
00:24:42
I just couldn't pay attention.
00:24:43
It just didn't ring into my fucking brain correctly.
00:24:47
You're lucky it's frowned upon to say the R word.
00:24:50
Otherwise I'd call you that.
00:24:52
You know what I'm going to say it.
00:24:54
You're a cotton what you're you're a cotton the R word.
00:24:58
Do you play Kotor.
00:25:00
Hello knock knock.
00:25:02
I'm sorry.
00:25:04
You don't know what the record.
00:25:05
He doesn't know what the recording empire is folks.
00:25:08
He claims to be a Kotor lover.
00:25:10
That's crazy.
00:25:11
That's that's crazy.
00:25:14
It's also like two years since I played it two years.
00:25:18
That's crazy.
00:25:20
You know what I'm going to send that one.
00:25:21
He's a self-proclaimed Kotor fan Kotor lover even and doesn't know what the recodin empire is.
00:25:27
That's a wild statement.
00:25:28
Silence.
00:25:29
I hope you get hate mail for that one.
00:25:31
Go for it.
00:25:32
Please send in hate mail recordings to exotic at the force unscripted dog.
00:25:37
We do accept your voice recordings.
00:25:39
We will play them in his ear very loudly.
00:25:42
Sorry.
00:25:43
I'm not not a droid so I don't just store every single tidbit of information that I gain.
00:25:50
I don't remember important parts of the story in my favorite game.
00:25:55
Yeah cool.
00:25:56
My favorite game.
00:25:58
It's my favorite Star Wars game.
00:26:00
That's what I meant.
00:26:02
Is it though.
00:26:03
Yep.
00:26:04
No bro you're not winning this fight.
00:26:05
I'm sorry.
00:26:06
I don't got the energy to fight with you.
00:26:08
Why don't you why don't you just look it up.
00:26:10
Why don't you just Google real quick.
00:26:11
R.A.K.A.T.A.N.
00:26:13
I know how to spell it.
00:26:14
It's got fucking flashbang by Wikipedia.
00:26:16
Holy shit.
00:26:17
I still can't believe you don't know about the recodin empire.
00:26:19
I mean I just didn't ring a bell the name of it.
00:26:21
I don't give a fuck about the two fucking long eyed motherfuckers.
00:26:25
But they're so important to the story of the old republic.
00:26:29
They're the people who made the fucking the Star Forge.
00:26:32
Yeah but they look ugly as a motherfucker.
00:26:34
Actually I'm pretty sure they were created for Kotor.
00:26:38
Like of how Ben Quatton Arrows is fucking Wikipedia page is popular because of all the shit on fucking tick tock.
00:26:44
Who Ben Quatton Arrows.
00:26:46
That's how I know you haven't been looking at the tick tock.
00:26:48
I send you.
00:26:49
I do.
00:26:50
Is that the one that you sent me about like the guy and the fucking reopens his drawer and it's in there.
00:26:54
Yeah.
00:26:55
Yeah.
00:26:56
I saw that.
00:26:57
I watch all the ones you send me.
00:26:59
About 90 percent of the ones they send you about Ben.
00:27:02
I think you've only sent me two.
00:27:05
Every single one I've seen I've sent to you.
00:27:07
Just why sent you one today.
00:27:09
I know that's the one I was thinking of I think.
00:27:11
I'm going to go check my ticky tack.
00:27:13
This bitch is still on his phone.
00:27:14
Fuck you.
00:27:15
My dad's out of town and my mom's by herself.
00:27:18
So when she calls I got to take it in case something's wrong.
00:27:21
What I'm hearing is your mom.
00:27:23
No what you heard was my own voice.
00:27:25
Agree or disagree.
00:27:26
No your mom.
00:27:27
Aren't you talking about your mom.
00:27:29
I'm talking about my mother.
00:27:31
Yes.
00:27:32
So the topic is your mom.
00:27:33
Correct.
00:27:34
Yeah but you weren't hearing my mom.
00:27:35
But correct.
00:27:36
That's what you said.
00:27:37
But am I correct.
00:27:38
No.
00:27:39
Man you shit.
00:27:40
Me.
00:27:41
All right so brick3po says the Ricardo were created for the video game Star Wars Knights
00:27:46
of the Old Republic.
00:27:48
Before that the second edition rule book for Star Wars the role playing game mentioned
00:27:53
alien traitors from far off in the unknown regions who might have given hyperspace technology
00:27:59
to humans.
00:28:00
Anyways there was an Easter egg about them in the opening part of Andor when they go
00:28:05
back to his tribe.
00:28:06
Cotor 2 was better than Cotor 1 anyway.
00:28:08
Oh my god no one cares.
00:28:11
What the fuck.
00:28:12
Just out of nowhere.
00:28:13
What the fuck is this.
00:28:14
I paid more attention to Cotor 2 than Cotor 1.
00:28:19
Oh please shit.
00:28:21
I hate him.
00:28:22
I fucking hate this guy.
00:28:24
I mean we were talking about how I don't remember from quote unquote my favorite video game.
00:28:30
Your favorite Star Wars video game.
00:28:31
I'll make the clarification that you want to be an asshole about that.
00:28:34
That's what you want to hone in on here I see.
00:28:36
I like the second one more than the first one.
00:28:38
Okay thank you for the extraneous information I appreciate it.
00:28:42
You're welcome.
00:28:43
So when are we doing an episode of Ben Quadinaros?
00:28:46
Oh my god.
00:28:47
You got anything else to add when she fucking hates this guy?
00:28:52
The topic of what y'all were talking about?
00:28:54
No.
00:28:55
Not really.
00:28:56
You're the only thing I can talk to anyway.
00:28:57
Fuck.
00:28:58
I mean I really enjoyed the show and even I the Mandalorian fanboy put the show higher
00:29:06
in terms of quality I think than Mandalorian.
00:29:11
It's just a really well done show and even though like I said the prison sequence isn't
00:29:16
like my favorite portion of the show it still keeps momentum and suspense and whatnot.
00:29:23
I don't think any portion of the show was really poorly written or anything like that
00:29:27
so I don't know.
00:29:28
I think it was very well done.
00:29:31
Mandalorian I obviously liked it a lot but I don't think I would ever put it above Andor.
00:29:38
Andor would have been better if it was written by Datheloney.
00:29:40
Oh my god.
00:29:41
Of course Foxboy likes Wolfboy who would have thought.
00:29:44
Well that being said Winchie out of curiosity where do you think they'll go for Andor season
00:29:50
2?
00:29:52
Andor where do you want them to go?
00:29:54
Well it'll be I mean he's just starting out in the rebellion with Luthen.
00:30:01
I'm assuming for a while because it'll probably be about them like bringing together the groups
00:30:07
of people more.
00:30:08
Him doing like secret reconnaissance missions or assassinations something like that.
00:30:13
They'll give him some hard jobs to like prove himself but I think we'll definitely see more
00:30:18
of like Saw Gerrera and the others as they like join together and kind of become a more
00:30:25
actual fighting force versus just a bunch of scattered warlords quote unquote.
00:30:29
You know honestly do we know that they ever really get together like specifically speaking
00:30:36
with Saw because the series Andor does focus a lot on Mon Mothma and I just don't know
00:30:41
that Mon Mothma and Saw Gerrera ever collaborated or worked closely together because they're
00:30:48
so diametrically opposed on the rebel side like I said they're two sides of the extreme
00:30:52
one extreme pacifist and one extreme activist right so or maybe we still see like the like
00:30:58
maybe an event that caused the big divide between them you know that they'd never see
00:31:03
eye to eye.
00:31:04
Well you know like they talk about the other like small groups of people like the one dude
00:31:08
that they let die so there's other like groups of little rebellion pockets around I'm sure
00:31:13
they'll gather some of those and in the next season they may not get you know get Saw but
00:31:19
the people like him I just don't know their names.
00:31:22
Why I was just asking because you had mentioned Saw specifically so.
00:31:25
I mentioned Saw because he's the only one we actually saw like a character for.
00:31:29
I forget during Andor is that when Saw Gerrera is like older older like he was in Rogue One?
00:31:34
No there's like there's 20 or like 15 years between them.
00:31:39
Between those two?
00:31:40
Because I think Saw is like 10 years younger than Obi-Wan something like that.
00:31:46
Can we get a fact check on Saw Gerrera's age in Andor?
00:31:49
I thought the Andor show was only like five years before Rogue One.
00:31:53
Is it five?
00:31:54
I think so.
00:31:55
You might be right.
00:31:56
Because they're they're pretty far along in the construction of the Death Star.
00:32:01
True because and then I realized that Rogue One is the day of episode four so that is
00:32:06
20 years after episode three.
00:32:08
Yeah I think it's only five years.
00:32:10
Oh so yeah he is old then.
00:32:11
Me?
00:32:12
Yeah mid-30s.
00:32:13
Yeah he did he did not age well.
00:32:15
What do I say because doesn't he have like that breathing machine because he's fucking
00:32:18
like so old?
00:32:19
Yeah.
00:32:20
But like desert planet it makes sense Obi-Wan didn't age well either.
00:32:24
True they don't got sunscreen in Star Wars.
00:32:27
Well Obi-Wan's like in his fucking mid-40s during the time of fucking episode four.
00:32:33
Yeah.
00:32:34
Wait because like he's wait he's 23 no so he's like he's like his early 50s because
00:32:38
he's 23 in episode one.
00:32:41
Wait no so he's like 30 so he's mid 50s he's mid 50s.
00:32:45
He looks bad for his mid 50s.
00:32:47
Like 80 years old.
00:32:48
Desert will do that to you.
00:32:50
Shit's fucking wack yo.
00:32:52
Two sons.
00:32:53
Jedi hood didn't save him.
00:32:57
Like I was thinking about stuff that I wanted them to focus on for Andor season two and
00:33:02
I really want them to like first I want to see what the fuck happens afterwards because
00:33:06
fucking ain't no way I'm jumping like fucking leave me fry me because I ain't gonna fucking
00:33:12
jump in the water I can't swim and I know I don't think anyone's gonna have my back
00:33:16
so fuck that just kill me I'll starve.
00:33:20
I'd rather starve than drown but I want to see how they how they navigate the escape
00:33:25
and then what happens because how the fuck are they gonna get off that world.
00:33:28
You know that's a fucking imperial lockdown world.
00:33:31
My understanding was that a lot of them got hunted down.
00:33:34
Yeah but I'm talking about like Andor specifically.
00:33:37
The guy himself?
00:33:39
Yeah how the fuck does he get off the planet?
00:33:41
After the prison escape.
00:33:42
Yeah.
00:33:43
Are you mental?
00:33:44
Or maybe I don't remember the last episode.
00:33:46
The lap?
00:33:47
Yo my guy.
00:33:48
What's up?
00:33:49
I thought you rewatched this.
00:33:50
Not recently.
00:33:51
There's like a whole sequence where him and the what's his face are like rock climbing
00:33:57
and then they run into those two alien dudes that catch him in a net and then they let
00:34:02
them borrow their spaceship and that's how they get to the resort planet.
00:34:06
Oh fuck I don't remember the finale.
00:34:08
That's crazy.
00:34:09
Weird.
00:34:10
What the fuck?
00:34:11
Hey look I didn't know we were gonna be talking about Andor today either.
00:34:16
Use your idea.
00:34:18
Yeah that happened as soon as we all got in the call.
00:34:22
Ipsies.
00:34:24
That's how they get to the resort and him and the other dude part ways and then he's
00:34:28
like on a bender for like a little while and then he gets arrested.
00:34:32
No no no no dum dum after that.
00:34:35
You know he goes sorry he goes back sorry he goes on the bender gets arrested comes
00:34:39
back gets his stuff then he leaves.
00:34:42
Oh yeah see I don't remember that part.
00:34:44
So he goes back to the resort planet?
00:34:46
Yeah yeah and that's where him and the other other guy split ways.
00:34:50
The one dude from his crew that he escapes with.
00:34:52
I forget his name.
00:34:54
Oh okay I remember now.
00:34:57
Okay yeah then if that's the case I want to see I want to see how he gets back in touch
00:35:01
with Luthen.
00:35:02
Oh my god.
00:35:03
What?
00:35:04
Oh my god.
00:35:05
He did not watch this show.
00:35:08
I didn't watch the last part I can tell you anything else.
00:35:10
Or I don't remember the last part I know I watched it.
00:35:13
He realizes Luthen's at the rally thing where everything goes to shit after his mom died
00:35:21
and he sneaks aboard Luthen's ship right as Luthen's about to leave and then he gives
00:35:28
Luthen the chance to shoot him in the face and then Luthen decides not to and Andor joins
00:35:34
him on their merry little adventure.
00:35:36
Okay now none of this sounds familiar.
00:35:39
Go watch the last like five minutes of the show.
00:35:42
I just go rewatch the whole thing the rest of the whole thing again.
00:35:46
My last rewatch I started like.
00:35:48
No fucking wonder you're so stuck on the damn prison thing like you didn't even watch the
00:35:54
last.
00:35:55
I was watching the first I was talking about the first part too.
00:35:58
What?
00:35:59
No wonder like when I'm like oh the first the beginning and the end are like all you
00:36:03
really need and you're like no the prison sequence is great.
00:36:07
Yeah because you don't remember the end.
00:36:10
Is it the prison sequence at the end?
00:36:12
There's stuff after the prison sequence.
00:36:15
Yeah but that that's still like the second half of the series.
00:36:19
Doesn't the prison prison the prison sequence goes up all the way up until the this the
00:36:23
second to last episode right?
00:36:25
Yeah that's the end bitch.
00:36:27
The end has so much more stuff in it.
00:36:30
I've watched it.
00:36:31
You're clearly forgotten.
00:36:32
Clearly I didn't deny that.
00:36:35
Brother you forgot we did a whole episode about Darth Bane don't get on me for this.
00:36:41
You're not the one you're not the guy pal.
00:36:43
We record like every week.
00:36:45
No we don't.
00:36:46
Star Wars series are only coming out like once a year.
00:36:49
We don't record every that's a lie.
00:36:52
Cap.
00:36:53
We record at a decently ambitious cadence.
00:36:56
I like that phrasing.
00:37:00
Oh I hate it here.
00:37:04
Yeah I guess I really don't remember much of the much of the end after all.
00:37:07
Kind of disappointing I guess.
00:37:09
It's these days.
00:37:11
I'm older than you.
00:37:12
I'm the oldest one here.
00:37:14
I know the serial stuff was good.
00:37:16
The stuff about what was her name Deidre who was the Imperial Intelligence Officer.
00:37:21
Her story was good.
00:37:23
That sounds right Deidre.
00:37:24
I think it was Deidre.
00:37:25
I'm terrible at names.
00:37:26
Yeah we know.
00:37:27
You're worse.
00:37:28
Shut up.
00:37:29
I'm not denying it.
00:37:30
I think that's everything though.
00:37:31
I think we hit on everything.
00:37:32
At least the stuff that I wanted to talk about.
00:37:37
It sucks that exotic sucks but I mean that's a fact of life so we just got to kind of deal
00:37:41
with that one.
00:37:42
Can't be upset about the things you can't control folks.
00:37:43
How the fuck do I suck?
00:37:45
Well you don't like Andor so clearly you suck.
00:37:48
I said I didn't enjoy it.
00:37:51
Yeah that means you don't like it.
00:37:53
Okay.
00:37:54
How does that make me suck?
00:37:56
Just because we have differing opinions?
00:37:58
Well no you just admitted that you don't like a good thing so I mean you clearly suck.
00:38:02
I'm not saying it's a bad thing.
00:38:03
Yeah but you don't like it.
00:38:04
I don't enjoy it.
00:38:05
You don't like a good thing yeah so that means you suck.
00:38:08
You don't like good things.
00:38:09
I feel like most people who don't like good things kind of suck.
00:38:12
Alright cut the chatter.
00:38:15
Thank you Brick.
00:38:16
Alright guys well thank you for coming back to see our closing thoughts about Andor.
00:38:21
I do think it was a really good see.
00:38:22
I need to go back and re-watch it because I know some of the stuff you said sounds vaguely
00:38:28
familiar.
00:38:29
It's just my brain has failed me.
00:38:31
It's weird that I don't remember something Star Wars because normally I guess I must
00:38:35
have been going through some shit while I was watching.
00:38:38
It's the only excuse I can think of.
00:38:41
So this is going to be our last episode for season 2.
00:38:46
We're going to be taking some time, come back.
00:38:49
The format of the show is going to be basically the same.
00:38:52
We're still going to stick to the unscripted name but we're going to have a way to make
00:38:57
it a little bit more fun when it comes to the unscripted aspect of it.
00:39:01
We're also going to finally have Brick3PO's character done and we get to get some new
00:39:08
art. You guys will get to see some new panels done by Jason.
00:39:15
He's our artist.
00:39:16
If you guys want to get in contact with him, reach out to us.
00:39:20
We're basically his unofficial spokespeople at this point.
00:39:23
And then we also have some new music coming too.
00:39:25
I'm very excited.
00:39:27
We've been working with an artist who also does music for a podcast that we've worked
00:39:32
with called Michael and Jeremy Steal Your Podcast.
00:39:34
I was referred to him by them.
00:39:37
And so I'm excited to have you guys see that.
00:39:40
We will be changing the song for our Force Facts segment and we'll be having a song for
00:39:46
our Versus segment also.
00:39:47
So stay tuned.
00:39:49
Those will be released a little bit before season 3 so make sure you stay up to date.
00:39:56
But there won't be any regular episodes on Monday for a while.
00:39:59
We will still continue our Force Facts in the time being.
00:40:03
Expect us to come back with season 3 sometime around mid to late January.
00:40:09
But until then, peace out Girl Scouts.
00:40:11
Thank you so much for watching.
00:40:13
May the force be with you and we will see you all on the next one.
00:40:17
Later.
00:40:18
Later.
00:40:19
What the fuck?
00:40:20
What's that?
00:40:21
My annihilation moment!
