In this episode, catch our thoughts and opinions on Disney's latest release Rebuild The Galaxy; a Lego take of a "What If?" series for Star Wars
00:00:00
Oh my god, you sound normal today. What do you mean? You don't sound like you're fucking talking from six and a half miles away
00:00:05
I think you're just coping we literally edited the fucking recording
00:00:10
Yeah, we had to I had to bump you up all the way anytime you spoke. Yeah, you're weird
00:00:15
I think you're weird
00:00:17
I mean, I know I'm weird, but at least my audio sounds crisp and clean all the time
00:00:21
You'd be sounding like you're speaking from under the fucking jungles of Africa. You're a scruffy looking nerf herder, right?
00:00:28
You just compared me to Han Solo. I'll take that fucking fastest ship in the galaxy, bitch
00:00:32
And Harrison Ford was like no no Harrison Ford was considered like inordinately attractive during his time
00:00:38
Like during his stint in the Star Wars trilogy, so you just called me attractive and sexy
00:00:43
I mean, it's definitely not pertaining to the thing we're doing the episode on today, but okay
00:00:47
But you didn't deny the calling me attractive and sexy allegations
00:00:51
I've never called you attractive or sexy, but you didn't deny that I was so therefore you're agreeing with me
00:00:57
No, just because I don't deny something doesn't mean I still haven't denied it see get shit on
00:01:03
And he's still silent too like damn I I knew I was sexy and attractive I know that's sexy and attractive
00:01:09
I'm still waking up for my nap. So and yet you still have not denied it. You know, I love you exotic
00:01:16
Thank you. That's the confidence boost I needed today to be extra during this fucking episode. Yeah, absolutely
00:01:46
Hey everyone and may the force be with you Nikkata here back with a another episode of the force unscripted today
00:01:53
We're going to be talking about the newest addition to the Star Wars franchise from Disney
00:02:00
Rebuild the galaxy the Lego Star Wars series. I I absolutely loved the entire thing
00:02:07
I know it's only four episodes, but I really enjoyed it. I think that Disney kind of played a
00:02:13
Really nice card as far as the Star Wars fandom goes
00:02:17
I feel like what they did is like probably the best way to tackle fan service for a series
00:02:24
I feel like they have a unique like way to do it
00:02:26
Having you know Lego Star Wars in their arsenal and I absolutely love that
00:02:31
They played the card the way they did because we got a lot of fan service and it didn't feel tacky because it's in a series
00:02:38
That's inherently kind of goofy and comedic and I loved every bit of it
00:02:41
I was reading that like they gave the the creators like full
00:02:45
Artistic freedom with whatever they wanted to do
00:02:48
So the fact that they included like self deprecating humor towards Disney itself like the the sequel trilogy and that kind of thing
00:02:54
I think that's really cool. Like
00:02:56
Where where Luke is like you're telling me that I fucking grow old and go hide by myself and then kill myself by using
00:03:03
The force too hard. I don't want to go back to that. That should have been fantastic
00:03:07
Yeah, I do enjoy the the self deprecating humor
00:03:10
The stupid silly stuff that they did like Grievous being a Jedi rebel person
00:03:16
But still having the same like personality that was fun the the Jawa
00:03:21
Sith the yub-yub Sith the the fucking Ewoks in the ships going yub-yub out of hyperspace
00:03:27
I laughed so hard. I snorted like I full-on water came out of my nose fucking Darth Jar Jar. You said gonna get hurt
00:03:35
I'm surprised the first thing the Katedane bring up was Jabba being a fucking Jedi
00:03:39
I knew you were gonna say something about fucking Jabba. Yes, I got a little horny, but that's beside the point
00:03:44
Okay, imagine Jabba as as a force user me in the bed with me. I imagined it. I'm definitely not going to do that
00:03:52
I'm pretty sure Luke found out exactly what that's like when he got crushed. I mean
00:03:57
I with the fucking Darth Jar Jar when he goes
00:04:05
Phantom Menace we saw always
00:04:10
It was it was really good the
00:04:13
Again, I really thought it was a very creative way to give fan service
00:04:17
I'm not gonna lie though the dark Falcon like I why I wish they would have just called the black Falcon because then it
00:04:23
Would have been like a key and peel reference like the black Falcon and then a black woman ends up flying it
00:04:28
I love that I enjoy that
00:04:30
Dev gives the witness the firepower of the fully operational
00:04:34
Dark Falcon and then shoots the fucking many death star laser
00:04:38
I always enjoyed that a quote from the return of the Jedi. Oh, this station is fully operational
00:04:45
Yeah, I had a like my Christmas tree that I put up every year
00:04:49
I only put Star Wars decorations on it because my mom gets me a Star Wars ornament or five every year
00:04:55
For Christmas and one of the first ones I ever got was a mini
00:04:59
That star too that had that quote like built in so every time you click the button
00:05:04
It would just play that soundtrack from the movie
00:05:07
I the the phrase gets me one or five Star Wars ornaments every year is crazy
00:05:14
She gets me a lot. She's only get like one or two because they were more
00:05:18
Well, they were few of them back then but nowadays they put out so many at Hallmark
00:05:22
She gets them all from Hallmark. Shout out to Hallmark for all the fucking ornaments. I love them
00:05:26
But nowadays she'll get me like six of them some of them
00:05:29
I might already have but you know, she doesn't remember all of the ones that she gets me but I have Lego ones
00:05:35
I got full like action figure size ones
00:05:37
Spaceships dioramas. I got I got the whole fucking shebang another thing that
00:05:43
You know, like there was a lot of small things that I liked in the series
00:05:46
Another thing that I really appreciate it was the fucking akbar clones that I love it's a trap
00:05:52
It's a trap. It's a trap. Just a bunch of fucking akbars running around screaming
00:05:56
It's a trap and then Yoda was like, this is a trap
00:05:58
I also like the like Yoda Yoda got to do the the hippity flippity flops that the same things that he basically did
00:06:06
In episode 3 when he was fighting city is to and when him and obi-wan were fucking up the clones outside the temple
00:06:12
Oh, you know, I forgot about that scene
00:06:13
It was like almost the exact same choreography speaking of choreography
00:06:18
It's crazy that the Lego series had better fight choreography than the entirety of the sequel trilogy
00:06:26
Isn't he kind of learned their lesson with the the choreography?
00:06:29
Everybody complained about the fucking lightsaber dueling so much that I'm sure nowadays whenever they put in anything lightsaber
00:06:35
They're like bring in the best guy bring in the guy who did that one choreography that everybody really liked
00:06:40
Yeah, I mean we saw it in the acolyte and then we also like I mean the Darth
00:06:44
Devastator fight versus like his sitha princesses like that fight went kind of hard. I'm not gonna lie
00:06:49
I'm almost proud of you almost
00:06:51
I also like the the cameos because we get just like to hear Mark Hamill again, and then we also got to hear
00:06:59
What's his name Sam Witwer as mall humming the fucking duel of the fate song as he comes out of the this ship
00:07:05
That was great. I also enjoyed that they made him like a Lando type
00:07:08
But then they made Lando the landalorian
00:07:12
Obviously setting us up for a sequel to rebuild the galaxy exotic you've been surprisingly silent. No thoughts head empty
00:07:19
I mean, it was okay series. Okay. Hello, excuse me
00:07:23
I'd like to I'd like to add a poll to the website to remove exotic from the podcast
00:07:29
This is okay. I'm not even like joking. This is easily top three Disney Star Wars series
00:07:33
I know that's crazy. How's it crazy? Okay, but even if you didn't say top three top five for sure cuz like what the only thing
00:07:41
I can see that's like for sure better than this is like acolyte and
00:07:44
Or yeah, I'd give this number three for sure. The Clone Wars was mostly done by Cartoon Network
00:07:49
You can't even call it a Disney series season seven. Okay. Yeah, but season seven was only good because Cartoon Network worked
00:07:56
Their ass off for the first six seasons. So it's still considered a series by Disney
00:08:01
No, it's considered an ending of a series by Disney. It's not a series by Disney
00:08:05
This was wholeheartedly done by Disney any full Disney projects like considered. This is definitely top three
00:08:10
No, definitely not top three. Okay, then where would you rank it?
00:08:13
Or not even where would you rank it? What would you rank above it bad batch?
00:08:16
I like you would rank bad batch. Well, I'll stop pause you would rank bad batch above this. Yes, no shot
00:08:24
No shot. Maybe if you talked about bad batch like season one sure
00:08:29
I'll give you that bad batch as a whole absolutely not they fumbled that bag so bad with season three like no
00:08:35
No, no, no, no, no. No, I can't believe you thought this series was only okay. Can we can we vote him off the island?
00:08:44
Compatitive for no reason. No, I mean it wasn't bad, but I mean it wasn't top fucking deer. Okay
00:08:49
What about it could have been better mister exotic? It could be longer. I know we're not getting more
00:08:53
You don't know we're not getting more. Let's be real knowing our fan base
00:08:56
You know what? I want to be mad at you and try to fight that but you are absolutely fucking correct. I hate Star Wars fans
00:09:02
Yeah, okay, but this this series is intentionally
00:09:06
Stupid and everything like they they they're not gonna come in and be like, oh my god
00:09:11
fucking Plagueis was in this and there were two girls and they maybe had a
00:09:15
Fucking shared a look one time and so they must be gay and this is woke
00:09:19
Like that's not that's literally this show is some fucking Legos doing stupid shit, which has always been the Lego mo
00:09:24
But the entire Star Wars fandom will find something to complain about it
00:09:27
Sure, and then Disney's gonna take it too far and be like, okay, y'all all hate it then let's just stop doing it
00:09:32
I mean I even mentioned that like in our and I think I said this in our episode about like video games was like I
00:09:39
Absolutely love Star Wars and y'all know me. I'm goofy. I love to laugh
00:09:42
So like comedic Star Wars is always gonna be top tier for me
00:09:45
Maybe that's why I rated so highly but like the goofiness the the fan service the the plot the choreography
00:09:52
Like I thought it was all well done. The voice actors were all perfect for their characters. I loved it
00:09:58
I mean most of the shit I see on Twitter is only like good
00:10:02
Fuck you want to call it. I'm only seeing good things about it on Twitter. I'm not seeing anything
00:10:06
It's like oh my god, this sucks. Wait, wait here we go. Let's Star Wars theory. Let's see what this guy says
00:10:16
Fuck that guy fuck that guy and his fans their Star Wars fans and their fans of him
00:10:20
Fuck him. Fuck all of it even do anything about rebuild the galaxy
00:10:24
I sure hope he doesn't if he does I will dead-ass do an entire solo episode
00:10:29
Shitting on him and his stupid opinions. He's been getting so much hate. He deserves it. He fucking deserves it. Come on lost the plot here
00:10:37
Anyway, I'm not seeing bad shit about this show
00:10:39
So I mean acolyte they were dropping, you know nasty grams within like 20 seconds of the show being released
00:10:45
So, I mean, I feel like maybe the public fucking words man getting old. We know you're not professor words
00:10:51
I do be hard. Jabba was in there. We all know why you're hard. Okay. Look shut up
00:10:55
Anyways, Twitter Star Wars Twitter specifically is typically a good litmus test to see like how well a series is doing
00:11:02
So I haven't seen anything negative about it if when she hasn't seen anything negative about it
00:11:06
That means it's pretty well liked way to go Star Wars fans for not being pieces of shit that you lying now
00:11:11
That's libel or is it slander? Which one's the spoken one?
00:11:14
I think you're right. How is that? How is that slander though? It was a it was a positive comment. Okay, it was a positive lie
00:11:20
Okay, that's fair
00:11:24
Star Wars fans can ruin fucking anything. I'm not gonna lie
00:11:27
I don't know how you ruin a series like the acolyte and I sure hope they don't do the same thing to
00:11:31
Rebuild the galaxy because I would I would absolutely love another season
00:11:34
Even if it stopped right there at the four episodes and they didn't continue it
00:11:38
I still think that it's it's pretty good and I you know, honestly
00:11:42
I don't think they will release more episodes because like where they stopped it makes sense
00:11:47
Like it's it's a it's a nice little kind of teaser fan service cliffhanger that you know follows the end of
00:11:53
Basically complete storyline and that was another thing about the storyline that I liked
00:11:57
I like that the character could not undo his fuck-up
00:12:01
Like I love that he just had to you know, take it in stride and live with this new galaxy that he accidentally created
00:12:07
I love that part. The main thing I didn't like about it is like, yeah
00:12:11
It was fan service, but I feel like they could have done like this style in a different way
00:12:15
What do you mean? Like I would much I know I'm just talking about like instead of making a lego series make an actual what-if series
00:12:22
I mean, that's true
00:12:23
But I thought this was a I thought this was a really clever way to do a what-if series
00:12:27
Like if you were going to do it from disney's perspective because any other way is going to get picked apart
00:12:32
Especially because like if you try to do live action, it's gonna get picked apart if like people aren't the same
00:12:37
if you do a animated series is going to get picked apart because
00:12:42
Well, why did you do this one instead of doing this theory or whatever?
00:12:45
I like I think that there's less there's less room than what they have with marvel to not fuck up
00:12:51
Plus like by doing a lego thing instead of like an animated one people can't be like, oh my god
00:12:56
The clone wars was so much better the animation or whatever like because it's an entirely like different media
00:13:02
They can't you can't just sit there and like compare it to the bad guys
00:13:05
You can't just sit there and like compare it to the bad batch and be or tales of the jedi or whatever and be like
00:13:10
Tales of the jedi was so much better
00:13:11
But because it's it's fucking legos plus like this whole thing like can market to kids
00:13:17
Way better than any of the other stuff can either because it's legos and silly and like parents don't have to worry about their kids
00:13:23
Like watching someone die or something brutally in the bad batch or what or getting tortured or whatever, right?
00:13:29
Because it's just watching perceived space lesbians. Yeah, it's literally just legos
00:13:33
Yeah, I think although I don't know because like leia leia and grito they might complain about that, you know
00:13:39
Yeah, that part was a little but I mean
00:13:42
Yeah, they're gonna they're gonna complain about that. I'm sure but I I really I really do think this was the right move from disney
00:13:48
Though like like just like from a series perspective because like I don't know lego star wars is kind of unfuckable
00:13:54
Like you really can't do it wrong and I think that that's a smart move from them
00:13:58
Especially since like a large amount of the fandom thinks that they did the acolyte wrong
00:14:02
So I feel like this is like a good like little recovery mood
00:14:05
It's definitely a good like filler piece that they throw in until the next star wars project
00:14:11
And like most people don't ever complain about the star wars games being bad
00:14:15
For instance brick 3po like one of the very few freaking star wars things
00:14:19
He's ever done is play the games and the lego games and he gets a lot of his content or knowledge from that
00:14:24
So, I mean people are familiar with the genre the genre does well
00:14:28
Even though like half the games they release are just like the previous games, you know
00:14:33
merged into one or whatever with like slightly better graphics and whatnot like the games do well the games play well
00:14:40
They they hold up well to the test of time because again, it's just fucking legos
00:14:44
Yeah, I think this was a good media for them to do this in
00:14:47
I love how in one foul swoop you just absolutely destroyed all of brick 3po's credibility by saying that all of his star wars knowledge
00:14:53
Comes from the video games. He's our fucking fact checker. You weren't supposed to out him like that. I had to out him like that
00:15:00
You know, it does make sense though
00:15:02
Because I mean like even his name is brick 3po even his uh, his little animation thingy
00:15:06
His his little character is fucking a lego a lego c3po. It was literally his whole fucking his his whole uh,
00:15:14
Shit theme. Thank you theme god damn words
00:15:17
This now marks the second episode by the way where you've said thank you to absolutely no one
00:15:22
You did it last episode too and I was like, who the fuck is he thanking? It was in the verses
00:15:27
I was like I was like, I'm thinking my damn brain
00:15:32
I'm thanking my alter ego the the voice in my damn head for figuring out the stupid word. I'm trying to think of
00:15:39
I hope this continues to be a trend where you like can't figure it out and then you finally doing you're like, thank you brain
00:15:45
Dude, look, there's the outer me that's you know, my my irl persona and then there's my inner brain
00:15:50
That is when she and when she just can't figure out the fucking words for some reason
00:15:55
It's when she thinking hunter. Is that what it is? No. No, it's hunter thinking when she
00:16:00
Somehow when she's the inner brain when she's the voice in my head aren't you your own inner brain though
00:16:05
You're just a brain piloting a meat slab. Look, i've seen some studies recently where they're like
00:16:10
Oh people say they have a voice in their head
00:16:12
But really the voice isn't actually like saying anything the majority of the time
00:16:16
But they just perceive that it says things in their head mine never shuts the fuck up
00:16:21
I feel that every single thought i've ever had was the voice in my head saying some shit out loud
00:16:26
Every thought that i've ever had has just come out of my fucking mouth because there's nothing to stop it. We know
00:16:31
Shut the fuck up
00:16:32
Darth Jar Jar just really made the whole series in my opinion
00:16:35
I'm still trying to figure out what that little like blue teddy bear was that was um, uh, yeah
00:16:40
Yep, uh the fucking yub. Yep commander, right? The blue teddy bear. Yeah
00:16:44
Yeah, the the synthesis wait, which one are you talking about? There's only one blue teddy bear looking motherfucker one of the sith guys. Yeah
00:16:51
Oh, oh, oh you're talking about darth nubbs that guy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah nubs. I don't know who
00:16:57
No, no, no, no, no, this is from the fucking kid show. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He was a jedi initiative
00:17:02
That's why yeah, i've only watched a little bit of that show. Yeah, he's from the kid show
00:17:06
So that's fan service for the kids. Yeah
00:17:08
So they'll love that shit. I was thinking of the the ewok with the yub. Yub commander shit. That was it. That was a uh, a fucking
00:17:15
Legends thing. Yeah, it was it was a yeah. It was a um, it was a puppet though
00:17:19
It was a puppet that that like wedge glued to himself and pretended to be an ewok pilot in a tie fighter
00:17:28
Yub, yub commander and then when they flew out of hyperspace going yub. Yub. I don't dude. I love it. I loved it
00:17:33
I love that. Uh 3po was a bounty hunter and an all golden
00:17:37
Uh the boo class fighter. Yup, bro. His ship was pimped the fuck out though
00:17:42
Motherfucker was flying and and fucking high cotton. I do appreciate the fact that uh, they included uh, the fire spray in it
00:17:49
Oh as the redo ship. Yeah, even though boba, you know isn't in the show
00:17:53
The fire spray is still my my favorite ship in the star wars galaxy
00:17:57
They even gave it the rodent ears too. I thought that was pretty funny. I liked uh surfer dude luke
00:18:02
That was pod racing and fucked up. Uh, uh maximillion rebuke. Yo jedi vader and
00:18:08
fucking
00:18:09
Grandmaster palpatine was fucking hilarious, too. We're supposed to have unlimited power
00:18:16
And then uh vader screaming that's my boy like that
00:18:20
That shit was hilarious
00:18:23
Isn't like the uh, like the redeemed vader like the all white vader is that that's like fan uh fan art as well
00:18:29
Yeah, it is actually and of course we we we've mentioned it but jedi jaba truly a a sexual miracle for me
00:18:36
Honestly, i've been to our robes and everything. He wasn't even slimy. That's a disservice to me and all java lovers out there
00:18:42
He's not slimy like any of the lego stuff
00:18:44
Oh, you know and another thing I forgot their fucking ship the fact that it's a sand crawler on
00:18:50
Atat legs and can fly in fucking space is quite the mental image a lot of those spaceships were like
00:18:57
They're they're crashing in the the beginning and they put the fucking walker legs on the ships. They don't crash and it can run
00:19:04
The shout out to the uh, the uglies was pretty cool, too. The x ties and the tie wings. Yeah, we got a lot of
00:19:11
Service. Yeah, every single thing in the show essentially was was some form of fan service, which is great
00:19:16
Great fan service absolutely loved it great redemption from disney as far as the series goes. I really enjoyed it
00:19:23
I'm apparently exotic didn't enjoy it as much as I did
00:19:26
But if I had to give the series like a overall rating
00:19:29
I'd definitely give it like a nine and a half out of ten like I I loved it
00:19:32
I was smiling the entire time. I was laughing the entire time
00:19:35
It was it was truly a feel-good star wars experience
00:19:38
Which I feel like I have not gotten since the release of the prequels like it really did make me it took me back
00:19:45
It made me feel like you know, a happy giddy kid
00:19:47
Watching star wars having a great time and just absolutely being you know
00:19:53
