What's up guys and welcome back to the Force Unscripted.
00:00:26
We have the bonus episode for our Bounty Hunter episode today.
00:00:30
We have a few questions from our viewers and then we're going to be playing 20 questions
00:00:34
at the end.
00:00:35
So we'll get started with the first question.
00:00:37
How do the ethical implications of technological advancements, such as the Death Star, parallel
00:00:44
real world concerns about the misuse of technology?
00:00:47
Nukes!
00:00:48
Nukes!
00:00:49
Nuclear technology!
00:00:50
We're gonna blast ourselves back into the fucking Stone Age.
00:00:53
I'm just gonna include the second part of this because it's just, you can answer both
00:00:57
at the same time.
00:00:58
Sure.
00:00:59
So the second part of the question is, is the pursuit of technological superiority inherently
00:01:03
morally problematic?
00:01:04
That's a lot of big words there.
00:01:06
I know right?
00:01:07
Fucking big words for fucking three halves of one idiot.
00:01:10
I think you're the only idiot here.
00:01:11
I don't know about that one chief, you're the least educated here.
00:01:14
We could say that.
00:01:16
I also make the most money here.
00:01:18
Not anymore baby!
00:01:20
Okay maybe, but that's beside the point.
00:01:23
So as far as the ethical implica- God, this is a lot of big fucking words.
00:01:29
Ethical implications of technological advancements parallel with the Death Star, just fucking
00:01:34
nukes.
00:01:35
Eventually we're gonna blast ourselves back into the Stone Age, which is just a step down
00:01:39
from the fucking Death Star blasting an entire planet back to their composite atoms.
00:01:44
Having that much power is just, it just seems unnecessary.
00:01:46
It could just be, it could always be misused.
00:01:50
Like it's just fucking- I guess that does lead to the second part.
00:01:56
Is the pursuit of technological superiority inherently morally problematic?
00:01:59
God, that's a lot of words.
00:02:01
But I mean yes, and if you even think about- Star Wars has two extremes of this.
00:02:08
You have the the Seruk in the Legends timeline, who they are so technologically advanced that
00:02:14
they have moved past the need for bodies by putting their essence into machines to basically
00:02:20
live forever or have slaves that never die because they're trapped in a mechanical body
00:02:26
that's never gonna age and it's their essence so it's their consciousness.
00:02:30
It's in a fucking machine and you can have a slave for life.
00:02:34
And then you have the exact opposite of that with the Yu Zhong Vong.
00:02:38
They fucking, they hate technology.
00:02:41
They have the bio equivalent of it.
00:02:44
They hate metal, but they still think that their shit being like life technology, if
00:02:49
you want to word it like that, is the superiority and that they're out of conquest to get rid
00:02:54
of anyone who uses technology for metal and computers and non-organic things.
00:02:59
So like regardless of what side you're on, whether you're like for organic technology
00:03:04
or for non-organic technology, I feel like at some point you're gonna misuse that shit
00:03:09
and at some point you're gonna think, ah this is way better than the other shit.
00:03:13
Let's push our stuff into the forefront of society.
00:03:16
Yeah, I mean unless the entire purpose of your culture, species, city, planet, whatever,
00:03:24
is entirely focused on promoting charity and research instead of war, like if you're a
00:03:33
peaceful people, sucks for you because that never works out well for you in Star Wars,
00:03:38
but if you are pursuing purely charitable and knowledge based things with technology,
00:03:46
then I don't think it's morally problematic.
00:03:49
But yeah, there's always gonna be somebody who's like, what if I just build a Death Star
00:03:54
and kill everyone and then everyone does what I say.
00:03:58
There's always gonna be one of those guys.
00:04:00
I don't know if this comes up in Star Wars at all, but definitely a real world thing
00:04:03
is like the latest cancer treatments or whatever.
00:04:06
Like yeah, that is very much considered a technological advancement, but even it is
00:04:14
slightly morally problematic too because you have this life saving technology and you're
00:04:17
charging tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars to receive and not everyone who
00:04:24
needs the treatment for those diseases is going to have those kind of funds.
00:04:28
So I feel like even then you start borderlining morally incompetent at that point.
00:04:36
I assume there's some cases of that in fucking Star Wars.
00:04:41
I mean, I know there is not necessarily for advancement of medical stuff for the benefit
00:04:46
of people, but definitely for the creation and generation of fucking bioweapons, like
00:04:53
the one that Kadeus uses to basically be like, fuck the FET genome for all of fucking Mandalore.
00:05:00
There's always gonna be somebody who's gonna use the cool shit, the shit that did good
00:05:04
stuff for a nefarious purpose, or they're going to try and profit off of it.
00:05:09
Yeah, the greed of one person will always overtake any morals, whether it's the greed
00:05:14
for power or monetary gain.
00:05:16
If you could build the Death Star, have the resources and the money, would you do it?
00:05:20
Yes.
00:05:21
What would you do with the Death Star?
00:05:25
If you say blow me up, I swear to God.
00:05:29
Definitely not blow up Nikita.
00:05:30
He'd be like, yo, Nikita, you want to be the first person to go to Mars?
00:05:33
And I'd be like, oh boy, would I?
00:05:35
And then as soon as I get there, I just see a fucking green laser coming at me to blow
00:05:38
me to oblivion.
00:05:39
Or he's like, you want to be the first, you know, human to touch Mars?
00:05:44
And he hands you a piece of rubble?
00:05:47
Wouldn't that make him the first person?
00:05:49
He's wearing gloves.
00:05:50
He's wearing gloves.
00:05:51
He's an evil Star Wars motherfucker.
00:05:54
He's wearing gloves.
00:05:55
I feel like Exotic is petty enough to blow Mars the fuck up just to play a sick joke
00:06:00
on me.
00:06:01
He would definitely be on Mars.
00:06:02
What the fuck?
00:06:03
I'll let you get some excitement for being the first human on Mars and then shatter it
00:06:08
right then and there.
00:06:09
You know what?
00:06:10
At least I die happy because I wouldn't fucking know.
00:06:12
Like the people in Alderaan, they didn't know they got blown to smithereens.
00:06:15
So like, you know what?
00:06:16
At least I died happy.
00:06:17
I exploded happy.
00:06:18
Or I could just like pull off like the Death Star shot on in Rogue One where they just
00:06:23
destroy the surface.
00:06:24
This motherfucker is going to do a single reactor ignition just to give me a nuclear
00:06:30
fallout death.
00:06:31
You'll see it.
00:06:32
It'll be painless.
00:06:33
It'll be painless.
00:06:34
No, it'll be painless.
00:06:35
God damn it, you're evil.
00:06:38
If I had a Death Star, dude, I'd be like half the galaxy away.
00:06:43
But like you would need a million people.
00:06:46
You'd need a million people.
00:06:47
Nah, I'll just install IG-88.
00:06:49
You know what?
00:06:50
You can't access IG-88?
00:06:51
There's no other droids!
00:06:52
What's he gonna take over?
00:06:55
I mean he can't install his consciousness and his binary code on a whole bunch of droids
00:07:00
if no droids exist, right?
00:07:01
I just love how-
00:07:02
One AI and the Death Star.
00:07:04
One of you is like, I'm gonna blow up my op and the other one's like, I just wanna fuck
00:07:09
off into the universe.
00:07:11
Absolutely.
00:07:12
I personally wouldn't build a Death Star, but I would build like a Death Hut, just Death
00:07:18
by Snoo Snoo.
00:07:19
Go out a very peaceful way.
00:07:21
Actually, I feel like a Death Hut would be like a robotic hut and would be against- there
00:07:26
would be no slime or soft pudgy- nevermind.
00:07:29
I retract that statement.
00:07:30
It would be like a synthetic slime?
00:07:32
Oil?
00:07:33
There's just- yeah, there's just not- it's not as appealing if it's not secreted by biological
00:07:39
functions.
00:07:40
Alright, anyways, we've gotten off topic.
00:07:43
What the fuck?
00:07:44
That's all.
00:07:45
Nevermind, I didn't say anything.
00:07:46
Hunter, you sure you don't wanna change your mind and jump into a Death Star?
00:07:51
Dude.
00:07:52
Woo.
00:07:53
Single reactor ignition, you say?
00:07:55
Yep.
00:07:56
I hate it here, OnGod.
00:07:57
Man just has simple sexual fantasies and gets fuckin' shit talked for him.
00:08:03
Okay.
00:08:04
Definitely not simple, but okay.
00:08:05
Bro, I just wanna fuck a giant slug.
00:08:07
What's not simple about that?
00:08:09
You know why most people don't get made fun of for those things?
00:08:13
Because they keep them to themselves.
00:08:14
Yeah, they don't spout them on a podcast that, you know, thousands of people listen to.
00:08:19
Bold of you to assume thousands of people listen to this shit.
00:08:24
Actually, no, that's pretty accurate.
00:08:27
I think we just hit like 30.
00:08:31
Thank you.
00:08:32
I'm like, what do you mean?
00:08:33
Shit.
00:08:34
Thousands of people have heard me and my hut boner.
00:08:37
Okay, but you have a mando boner and he has a wookie boner.
00:08:40
As if those are any better.
00:08:42
We're not talking about fucking them.
00:08:44
Yeah, if we made merch, the first thing we're making is something about you and a hut and
00:08:50
fucking.
00:08:51
It's going on a shirt.
00:08:53
I don't agree to this veto majority rules.
00:08:57
Damn it.
00:08:58
Well, you never know.
00:09:00
Brick 3PO my side.
00:09:01
Brick 3PO is not going to side with me.
00:09:02
No.
00:09:03
God damn it.
00:09:04
Just start your fucking segment.
00:09:05
I hate you guys.
00:09:06
Is that all the questions we have?
00:09:07
Yeah, that was it.
00:09:08
Okay.
00:09:09
All right.
00:09:10
So we're we're going to go into 20 questions now.
00:09:13
I'm actually going to let exotic start because I don't have a character pick yet.
00:09:17
Okay.
00:09:19
Is it a wookie?
00:09:20
No.
00:09:21
Is it a Jedi?
00:09:22
I'm actually out of questions.
00:09:27
Is it a mercenary?
00:09:29
No.
00:09:30
Is it a clone trooper?
00:09:31
Yeah.
00:09:32
There we go.
00:09:33
I had to go down the list.
00:09:35
What was that dude he was talking about in the main episode?
00:09:37
It's not Spar.
00:09:38
What was it?
00:09:39
What was the dude's name?
00:09:40
Clip?
00:09:41
No.
00:09:42
Kips?
00:09:43
Was it the Mandalorian from the main episode or the clone trooper from the main episode?
00:09:46
No.
00:09:47
Fuck.
00:09:48
I gotta make it that easy for you.
00:09:49
Yes.
00:09:50
Is it?
00:09:51
Is it a clone officer or a regular trooper?
00:09:54
You can't ask me one more question.
00:09:57
Yeah.
00:09:58
Well, I mean, are they an officer?
00:10:00
Yes.
00:10:01
The opposite is.
00:10:02
Yeah.
00:10:03
Okay.
00:10:04
Fuck.
00:10:05
Do you don't know any fucking officers?
00:10:06
Well, okay.
00:10:07
There's Wolf, Rex, Cody, Fox.
00:10:09
Is it Fox?
00:10:10
Bacara, Bacara, Bly, Gree.
00:10:11
Is it counting as questions?
00:10:12
No.
00:10:13
Fuck.
00:10:14
No.
00:10:15
Please.
00:10:16
No.
00:10:17
No.
00:10:18
Did I?
00:10:19
Did I put a question in flex?
00:10:21
In flexion on them?
00:10:22
No.
00:10:23
Kind of.
00:10:24
As much as I hate to agree with him, he's kind of right.
00:10:25
But no, those are not questions.
00:10:27
I put a am I stupid inflection on it.
00:10:30
Is it Rex?
00:10:31
No.
00:10:32
Are they equal to or above commander rank?
00:10:36
You said equal to or above commander?
00:10:39
Yes.
00:10:40
No.
00:10:41
Okay.
00:10:42
So we know it's not Cody.
00:10:43
Captain, Lieutenant, Sergeant.
00:10:44
Yeah.
00:10:45
The second y'all brought military into this shit, y'all lost me.
00:10:48
Fuck that.
00:10:50
Is it someone who goes out in a badass way in the Clone Wars series?
00:10:54
Yes.
00:10:55
I'd consider it badass.
00:10:56
Yeah.
00:10:57
I still haven't asked like what regiments or companies are from.
00:11:00
I was getting down to that when I could figure out which ranks it was going to be.
00:11:06
Is it heavy?
00:11:07
No.
00:11:08
Are they five oh first?
00:11:09
Yes.
00:11:10
Is it fives?
00:11:11
No.
00:11:12
Is it Echo?
00:11:13
No.
00:11:14
I don't know why you asked for fives.
00:11:15
We don't know the fives died yet.
00:11:16
And Nikita already asked if he went out in a badass way.
00:11:17
Oh, true.
00:11:18
Damn.
00:11:19
I don't know what the fuck she did.
00:11:20
It's okay.
00:11:21
You're just doing your best Nikita cosplay.
00:11:23
Is it Jesse?
00:11:24
Yes, it is Jesse.
00:11:25
Fuck yes.
00:11:26
Got it on lucky number 13, baby.
00:11:30
That would be a badass way to go.
00:11:32
Yeah.
00:11:33
He's one of like my favorite troopers just because he has the fucking big ass republic
00:11:37
fucking tattoo on his head and his helmet.
00:11:38
And he is a lieutenant.
00:11:39
I was working my way.
00:11:41
I had to double check to see because whenever he demoted Rex, I don't know if they like
00:11:45
theoretically promoted him, but now he stayed lieutenant.
00:11:48
All right, let's do yours.
00:11:49
Okay, go.
00:11:50
Is it a hut?
00:11:51
No.
00:11:52
God damn.
00:11:53
I hate you guys.
00:11:54
Is it a Jedi?
00:11:55
No.
00:11:56
Is it human?
00:11:57
Yes.
00:11:58
Are they prominent in the canon timeline?
00:12:00
No.
00:12:01
All right, when she has all you.
00:12:02
Well, okay, what do you mean by prominent?
00:12:09
Like do they exist or are they important?
00:12:11
Do they show up more than like three times in the canon timeline?
00:12:14
No.
00:12:15
Okay, but the way he worded that makes it kind of seem like they do show up in canon
00:12:19
or existing in canon.
00:12:21
Is that a question?
00:12:22
At least once.
00:12:23
No, you gave us that one.
00:12:26
Did I?
00:12:27
Maybe.
00:12:28
Are they a mercenary?
00:12:29
Hold on.
00:12:30
I'm thinking.
00:12:31
Give me a second.
00:12:32
I'm going to go with yes.
00:12:33
A mercenary human from legend that has shown up possibly in canon.
00:12:38
At least maybe exists, but has not shown up more than twice in the media.
00:12:43
Are they Clone Wars era?
00:12:44
I need a little bit more clarification on that.
00:12:47
Like are you asking if they were relevant during the Clone Wars?
00:12:50
Were they alive during the Clone Wars?
00:12:52
Like yeah, were they alive during the Clone Wars?
00:12:54
Yes.
00:12:55
Are they a part of any large groups of mercenaries?
00:12:58
No, it's one of those things that like if it is, it's never fucking mentioned.
00:13:03
So I'm just going to go with no.
00:13:05
Were they alive during original trilogy?
00:13:08
Yes.
00:13:10
Do they appear in one of the OG movies?
00:13:15
At least once?
00:13:16
Yes.
00:13:17
That's where he got you with that question, Exotic.
00:13:18
What?
00:13:19
You're like, do they show up in the media more than three times?
00:13:22
I said if they were prominent, he told me to expand on it.
00:13:26
Definitely not prominent.
00:13:27
Were they ever shown in a scene at the same time as Vader?
00:13:30
Yes.
00:13:31
Did that scene also include Boba Fett?
00:13:34
Yes.
00:13:35
All right, Exotic.
00:13:36
We've got Bosque, but he's not human.
00:13:40
We've got Dengar.
00:13:41
Is it Dengar?
00:13:42
Damn it, yes.
00:13:43
I was about to say, that'd be the motherfucker with the fucking white shit around his head.
00:13:48
Yeah, it's Dengar.
00:13:49
Get blasted.
00:13:50
I mean, didn't we say in the main episode that like bounty hunters are considered mercenaries?
00:13:55
Yeah.
00:13:56
And that's why I immediately was like, if they were in the original movies and they're
00:14:00
a mercenary, what times would they be seen?
00:14:03
It's either at Jabba's palace or the scene with Vader.
00:14:06
Dengar has shown up a lot more than three times, just letting you know.
00:14:10
He showed up in the Clone Wars at least six.
00:14:13
Six?
00:14:14
I remember once.
00:14:15
I don't remember six.
00:14:16
He was in that whole like, bounty hunter arc.
00:14:18
He was in a few episodes.
00:14:19
Oh, am I bad on that one?
00:14:21
I wasn't trying to mislead you.
00:14:22
I actually didn't know that.
00:14:24
I could remember one time where I remember seeing him and then never again.
00:14:28
Yeah, he was in that whole arc with Obi Wan fucking getting plastic surgery to look like
00:14:32
a bounty hunter that he did.
00:14:33
I still wouldn't say that that counts him as being prominent though.
00:14:36
He was part of that group that they kind of brought together.
00:14:40
But yeah, y'all got it in ten questions.
00:14:42
Congratulations fuckers.
00:14:44
You got your character?
00:14:45
Yep.
00:14:46
Is it a Mando?
00:14:47
Nope.
00:14:48
Is it a human?
00:14:49
Nope.
00:14:50
Are they present in Legends?
00:14:51
Yep.
00:14:52
Do they also exist in canon?
00:14:53
Yep.
00:14:54
Are they humanoid?
00:14:55
Yes.
00:14:56
Okay.
00:14:57
Are they a bounty hunter?
00:14:58
No.
00:14:59
Are they a Jedi?
00:15:00
Yes.
00:15:01
Do they exist post Order 66 in the canon timeline?
00:15:04
Absolutely not.
00:15:05
They got cupped.
00:15:07
A Jedi humanoid who gets murked?
00:15:09
Well not necessarily, but just not alive after Order 66.
00:15:13
Hmm.
00:15:14
Are they a master?
00:15:16
Yes.
00:15:17
Do they have a Padawan that we know of?
00:15:19
Um, hold on.
00:15:21
Not that Exotic would know of.
00:15:23
The only Padawan in Legends.
00:15:26
Think.
00:15:27
Um, yeah, she may have had one in Legends.
00:15:29
She?
00:15:30
The Depa Balaba?
00:15:31
No.
00:15:32
Exotic would know that one.
00:15:34
Is it Luminara Unduli?
00:15:36
Is it Aayla Secura?
00:15:37
Yes.
00:15:38
Hell yeah, bro.
00:15:39
Jedi's are my shit!
00:15:40
I'm just such a cheat.
00:15:41
Have we been cupped if you just didn't give us a sheet for free?
00:15:45
Yeah, for real.
00:15:46
You right.
00:15:47
You right.
00:15:48
The second you did that I was like, oh yeah, my list goes down to like six people.
00:15:51
Well I mean, it still could have been anyone alive before the Clone Wars.
00:15:56
Yeah, but I know you don't know much about Jedi, so.
00:15:59
I mean, I watched.
00:16:01
I kind of laid on that one.
00:16:02
I'm not gonna lie.
00:16:04
I've read all of the old Republic books and the ones before.
00:16:09
And I watched.
00:16:10
Yes, but that still limits it down to like very few, especially since you were like,
00:16:14
unsure about the status of a Padawan in one and not the other, because most of the characters
00:16:19
that we see have like, clear Padawans that we would know.
00:16:22
Like my worst guess is probably Luminara because we know she has fucking Barriss.
00:16:26
Get shit on.
00:16:27
I was looking at the Wookipedia and I was reading about the Depa Balaba had the vision about
00:16:35
Sakura, and then she was shared that with her Padawan.
00:16:40
So the her I was referring to was Depa Balaba in my head, but I was just like, oh yeah,
00:16:45
she and then you were like, oh shit.
00:16:47
I'm a genius.
00:16:48
Just just giving my credit for that one.
00:16:50
I'll give it to you.
00:16:51
Let's go.
00:16:52
Is that it?
00:16:53
Wait, that's it.
00:16:54
Damn, I got two this time.
00:16:56
Hell yeah.
00:16:57
We need to start adding BrickBripio to this to make him come up with a character.
00:17:01
He would struggle to be like, oh, I don't know the answer to this question.
00:17:05
I don't know the answer to that one.
00:17:07
Hold on.
00:17:08
He'd be fact checking his fucking pick the entirety of the session.
00:17:11
All right.
