Catch the bonus Q&A section from the recording of Episode 3 - Heirs of the Force
00:00:25 --> 00:00:29 And welcome back. Thank you so much for being
00:00:29 --> 00:00:33 here for our podcast recording for the third
00:00:33 --> 00:00:37 official main episode recording, whatever you
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38 want to call it. Thank you for being here for
00:00:38 --> 00:00:42 that. We will now begin our portion of the show
00:00:42 --> 00:00:45 where we answer viewer questions. The first being
00:00:45 --> 00:00:49 one from Jason and his question is, it's three
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52 parts. Did Ahsoka finish her Jedi training and
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55 did she finish it on her own or did she find
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58 a new master after Anakin? No. She did not finish
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01 it. She did not find a new master. And don't
00:01:01 --> 00:01:04 want to give spoilers for the Ahsoka show. Please
00:01:04 --> 00:01:07 don't. But she confirms that she didn't finish
00:01:07 --> 00:01:10 it. Yeah, that was about where my answer would
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12 have aligned at. The next question, also adjacent
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15 question, is can TIE fighters fly backwards?
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18 The answer to that one is no. I know that one
00:01:18 --> 00:01:21 for a fact. It's also no. Yeah, the way that
00:01:21 --> 00:01:25 the twin ion engines are aligned on the actual
00:01:25 --> 00:01:29 pod itself, they can only propel forward. You
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31 don't almost ever see any ship fly backwards.
00:01:31 --> 00:01:35 That is because Star Wars spaceflight is based
00:01:35 --> 00:01:38 off of World War II dogfighting and naval combat.
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42 So World War II planes only go forward and Star
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45 Wars ships only go forward. You'll notice that
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47 when they turn off their engines, they slow down
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49 in space, which doesn't make sense space -wise.
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51 it does if you're basing it off of world war
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53 ii dog fighting and planes and whatnot they can't
00:01:53 --> 00:01:57 go strafing left right or um even downwards they
00:01:57 --> 00:02:00 they really have to fly forward pretty much always
00:02:00 --> 00:02:03 no matter what they do and tilt their ship uh
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05 yawn pitch in order to get their movement rolling
00:02:05 --> 00:02:08 to turn like a actual fighter jet would okay
00:02:08 --> 00:02:12 the next question that we have is from dorvac
00:02:12 --> 00:02:16 on twitch can darth vader do the gritty absolutely
00:02:16 --> 00:02:20 not not with those mechanical prosthetic legs
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23 he can't there's not with those joints there's
00:02:23 --> 00:02:27 no way in hell all right let's see milk pony
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29 asks which of the characters would be furries
00:02:29 --> 00:02:32 cat boys slash cat girls the catars the cathars
00:02:32 --> 00:02:35 are just like actually cat people let's just
00:02:35 --> 00:02:39 say there's actual cat people so them and then
00:02:39 --> 00:02:42 i guess um not dantweenians you remember the
00:02:42 --> 00:02:46 the okay The huts didn't protect them fast enough.
00:02:47 --> 00:02:48 Do you know what I'm talking about? Yes, but
00:02:48 --> 00:02:51 no. What planet was that? There's so many planets,
00:02:51 --> 00:02:55 man. I know. It's in that area, though. The Klatoonians?
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58 Klatooine. That's what it is. They're the dog
00:02:58 --> 00:03:01 people. I knew it was one of the Tooines. Yeah,
00:03:01 --> 00:03:04 it's Klatooinians. They're the dog people. yeah
00:03:04 --> 00:03:07 those are the dudes we see in um mandalorian
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09 we see quite a few of them and i could not think
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11 i knew it was a tween but i couldn't remember
00:03:11 --> 00:03:17 which tween it was okay so next up doorback has
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19 another one what would be the closest equivalent
00:03:19 --> 00:03:23 to american rednecks uh weekways i feel like
00:03:23 --> 00:03:28 weekways are the like honda i mean but shrew
00:03:28 --> 00:03:32 though right like Oh, it's got to be the weak
00:03:32 --> 00:03:35 ways. You know what? I'll let you have that one.
00:03:35 --> 00:03:38 I'm not even going to argue that one. Like, I'm
00:03:38 --> 00:03:41 trying to think of who else it would be if not
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43 the Weequays. Like, because they literally just
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45 drive around in their space truck shooting in
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47 the air, getting drunk. Like, it's pretty American
00:03:47 --> 00:03:51 redneck. The typical, like, pirate species. Yeah.
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54 Oh, so we're equating American rednecks with
00:03:54 --> 00:03:57 pirates now, huh? Well, okay. Space truckers
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59 that shoot their lasers around and get drunk
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01 are typically the ones that are the pirates and
00:04:01 --> 00:04:04 smokers in Star Wars. True, true. Okay. So, yeah.
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06 So, yeah, Weequays. Weequays are definitely the
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08 American rednecks. Let's see. The whole rebel
00:04:08 --> 00:04:11 faction would be equivalent to NA Red. I don't
00:04:11 --> 00:04:15 know about that one. I feel like the rebel, like
00:04:15 --> 00:04:18 the whole rebel faction. The rebel faction was
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20 a stand -in for the Vietnamese during the Vietnam
00:04:20 --> 00:04:24 War. Was it? Yes. I'm pretty sure that he's on
00:04:24 --> 00:04:27 record saying it is. Yes. It's like the empire
00:04:27 --> 00:04:31 is meant to be the US or the allies. Yes. I think
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33 it's part of that. And then it's part of the
00:04:33 --> 00:04:36 United States fighting Britain in the Revolutionary
00:04:36 --> 00:04:41 War too. But definitely the Vietnamese were meant
00:04:41 --> 00:04:44 to be the rebels and the U .S. was the empire
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46 because that was the same time period that the
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48 original movies were released. It was meant to
00:04:48 --> 00:04:49 be political. Well, I actually didn't know that.
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51 So you learn something new every day. All right.
00:04:51 --> 00:04:55 So Dorbeck says, aside from ship combat and the
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57 dogfighting mechanics you spoke on, are there
00:04:57 --> 00:05:00 any aspects of combat that were inspired by real
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03 battles like naval battles or maybe World War
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06 II ground battles? Geonosis makes me think of
00:05:06 --> 00:05:09 D -Day. bit so uh i'm gonna leave that one to
00:05:09 --> 00:05:10 y 'all because i actually have no clue about
00:05:10 --> 00:05:13 that one so the the battle of coruscant where
00:05:13 --> 00:05:16 grievous quote -unquote captures palpatine that
00:05:16 --> 00:05:19 will give you a great example of how it is based
00:05:19 --> 00:05:23 off of naval combat in capital ship warfare the
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25 ships pull up next to each other side by side
00:05:25 --> 00:05:28 release broadside salve they don't do really
00:05:28 --> 00:05:31 much z -axis maneuvering it's very much pull
00:05:31 --> 00:05:34 up next to your your enemy release all your your
00:05:34 --> 00:05:37 missiles like cannon warfare back in like the
00:05:37 --> 00:05:40 more revolutionary time, like sailing ships,
00:05:40 --> 00:05:43 not necessarily warships that we have nowadays.
00:05:43 --> 00:05:46 Definitely based off of that. And you'll notice
00:05:46 --> 00:05:49 that the amount of light fighters that they bring
00:05:49 --> 00:05:53 to battles. For instance, the Imperial Star Destroyers
00:05:53 --> 00:05:56 have hundreds of TIE fighters each. It's because
00:05:56 --> 00:05:59 the Star Destroyers are meant to represent like
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01 aircraft carriers where you need the light fighters
00:06:01 --> 00:06:04 or you need the dogfighting mechanics of your
00:06:04 --> 00:06:07 aircraft to protect the main ship from enemy
00:06:07 --> 00:06:11 fire. It's very vulnerable to attacks from aircraft
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13 coming in close. That's how it's kind of based
00:06:13 --> 00:06:16 off of naval and aircraft combat from World War
00:06:16 --> 00:06:18 II. And even nowadays, some. Most of it nowadays,
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20 though, is very far away. which is not how they
00:06:20 --> 00:06:23 do it in star wars i'm learning about war mama
00:06:23 --> 00:06:28 you proud i actually had you know no clue about
00:06:28 --> 00:06:29 any of that i figured that there was some basis
00:06:29 --> 00:06:33 around there so any book written by aaron alston
00:06:33 --> 00:06:36 who is i believe he's former air force any maneuver
00:06:36 --> 00:06:40 that he talks about in any of his books is for
00:06:40 --> 00:06:43 a fact based off of actual air force maneuvering
00:06:43 --> 00:06:46 so like i know that for a fact um so there's
00:06:46 --> 00:06:49 a couple of like han solo moves like oh what's
00:06:49 --> 00:06:52 it called the solo the solo sidewinders or the
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54 solo something but like they're all based off
00:06:54 --> 00:06:58 of like actual air force maneuvering so i that's
00:06:58 --> 00:06:59 one thing that's cool that's something that he
00:06:59 --> 00:07:02 includes into his books all right so we got another
00:07:02 --> 00:07:05 question from milk pony and then bonk bonk has
00:07:05 --> 00:07:08 a question for us after that too so who is the
00:07:09 --> 00:07:12 most evil person in the whole series palpatine
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14 point blake period this that's just my answer
00:07:14 --> 00:07:17 but it's palpatine he's the he's literally the
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19 culmination of evil unless you you got someone
00:07:19 --> 00:07:22 you got someone evil or when she feel like vader
00:07:22 --> 00:07:25 at the height of his vaderness was more evil
00:07:25 --> 00:07:28 than pal okay but who taught vader i know who
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30 taught vader but i think vader pulls it off better
00:07:30 --> 00:07:33 i feel like maybe vader would be more cruel but
00:07:33 --> 00:07:38 i know not even more cruel no no yes yes yes
00:07:38 --> 00:07:41 No, because Palpatine was slightly worried about
00:07:41 --> 00:07:44 his political standing and whatnot. Vader's just
00:07:44 --> 00:07:46 like, I don't know. He wasn't forced choke. Palpatine
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48 wasn't worried about his not after not after
00:07:48 --> 00:07:51 the fall of the Republic, maybe before. It's
00:07:51 --> 00:07:54 still a little bit. No, because he absolutely
00:07:54 --> 00:07:58 did. Like he openly endorses slavery after the
00:07:58 --> 00:08:00 fall of the Republic, like openly. No way do
00:08:00 --> 00:08:02 you care about any kind of appearance if you
00:08:02 --> 00:08:06 openly endorse slavery. In a in a in a personal.
00:08:07 --> 00:08:10 aspect i think vader was more evil like if what
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12 do you mean somebody got in front of vader if
00:08:12 --> 00:08:14 somebody got right in front of vader and they
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16 were in vader's way vader is absolutely gonna
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18 be more cruel than palpatine but who's gonna
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20 get in front of palpatine like how do you get
00:08:20 --> 00:08:23 in front of palpatine vader yeah and vader gets
00:08:23 --> 00:08:28 dogged the out by palpatine he does almost every
00:08:28 --> 00:08:32 time like he does so if so i have a question
00:08:32 --> 00:08:35 if you say vader is the biggest baddest bully
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37 and palpatine bullies the big as bad as bully
00:08:37 --> 00:08:40 then does that not automatically make palpatine
00:08:40 --> 00:08:43 worse no because irl a lot of times child bullies
00:08:43 --> 00:08:46 or younger bullies are bullies because their
00:08:46 --> 00:08:48 parents are mean to them but typically the child
00:08:48 --> 00:08:51 is way worse than the parent is the younger bullies
00:08:51 --> 00:08:54 the next generation of bully versus the parent
00:08:54 --> 00:08:56 anakin did see palpatine as like a father figure
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58 for a while the the younger child is way more
00:08:58 --> 00:09:01 creative with their cruelty than the parent is
00:09:01 --> 00:09:05 i i guess i see where you're coming from however
00:09:06 --> 00:09:08 I don't want to give Palpatine the parent role
00:09:08 --> 00:09:11 in this. Palpatine is literally just some dude
00:09:11 --> 00:09:13 in a white van offering Anakin force cookies.
00:09:14 --> 00:09:17 That's not a parent. That's a, you know what?
00:09:17 --> 00:09:20 And it's come up before. Someone has asked me
00:09:20 --> 00:09:23 like, why does Palpatine dog out Anakin after
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25 he becomes Vader? Because like, imagine like
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27 you've just been told that you're about to get
00:09:27 --> 00:09:30 delivered this absolutely fantastic, beautiful,
00:09:30 --> 00:09:34 like Lamborghini that's completely decked out.
00:09:34 --> 00:09:37 And then. All of a sudden you get like this,
00:09:38 --> 00:09:40 I don't know, this Nissan Altima that had four
00:09:40 --> 00:09:43 cruising to get drinks last night, slammed it
00:09:43 --> 00:09:45 into a pole. And now you got is the body of a
00:09:45 --> 00:09:48 car, three wheels and half an engine like that.
00:09:48 --> 00:09:51 I understand why Palpatine is pissed off that
00:09:51 --> 00:09:53 he doesn't get Anakin Skywalker anymore, that
00:09:53 --> 00:09:56 he has Darth Vader. I'd be pretty mad, too. It's
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58 just that's just how it is. An iron coffin. yeah
00:09:58 --> 00:10:02 that was uh that was maiden you iron maiden him
00:10:02 --> 00:10:05 until he fixes it himself and he never does he
00:10:05 --> 00:10:08 never does in canon he does now there's the the
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10 comics oh really fader comics he does yeah he
00:10:10 --> 00:10:13 does fix his suit at least oh well he fixes his
00:10:13 --> 00:10:16 suit in legends too but he's his real thing was
00:10:16 --> 00:10:18 like the only thing that i could think of that
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20 he really focused on as far as that in legends
00:10:20 --> 00:10:23 is that like he tries to extend his period without
00:10:23 --> 00:10:26 the suit like it starts off as a couple of seconds
00:10:26 --> 00:10:28 but then like before he dies he's able to to
00:10:28 --> 00:10:30 like be without his suit for i think like three
00:10:30 --> 00:10:31 minutes or something like that so i think in
00:10:31 --> 00:10:35 the new comics about the darth vader comics palpatine
00:10:35 --> 00:10:38 beats him up so badly that he has to fully almost
00:10:38 --> 00:10:40 fully rebuild the suit and he builds it way better
00:10:40 --> 00:10:43 and removes like the the purposely pain inflicting
00:10:43 --> 00:10:45 portions of it yeah see that wasn't right there
00:10:45 --> 00:10:48 that wasn't darth vader that was anakin skywalker
00:10:48 --> 00:10:51 fixing that suit it was all right bonk bonk you
00:10:51 --> 00:10:53 had a question for us go ahead going back to
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55 the we were talking about like the beginning
00:10:55 --> 00:10:57 of the episode that best score armor I want to
00:10:57 --> 00:10:59 know like the significance of that and why it
00:10:59 --> 00:11:02 was being used when talking about the Shatterpoint.
00:11:02 --> 00:11:03 God, you're about to make Hunter talk for about
00:11:03 --> 00:11:06 six hours. All right, go ahead. I can see the
00:11:06 --> 00:11:09 smile. I can see the smile on your face. So Beskar
00:11:09 --> 00:11:11 metal is a metal that's native to the planet
00:11:11 --> 00:11:14 of Mandalore. It's what the Mandalorians build
00:11:14 --> 00:11:16 most of their armor out of and even some of their
00:11:16 --> 00:11:20 ships. The metal is one of the strongest materials
00:11:20 --> 00:11:23 in the galaxy, if not the strongest. There's
00:11:23 --> 00:11:26 a few other metals that are similar, have similar.
00:11:26 --> 00:11:28 properties, but Beskar is the most famous. It
00:11:28 --> 00:11:31 is capable of blocking lightsabers, all lightsaber
00:11:31 --> 00:11:34 attacks. It's capable of blocking blasters. Sometimes,
00:11:34 --> 00:11:37 depending on the makeup of it, I mean, it can
00:11:37 --> 00:11:40 block lasers from ships and whatnot. It is very,
00:11:40 --> 00:11:44 very strong. So a Sith Lord, Cadis or Darth Cadis,
00:11:44 --> 00:11:48 walking up to a Mandalorian and tapping his armor
00:11:48 --> 00:11:50 with the butt of his lightsaber, like just a
00:11:50 --> 00:11:54 nice little, you know, very light tap and the
00:11:54 --> 00:11:58 entire armor shaft. is very big because the Mandalorian
00:11:58 --> 00:12:01 armor is built and basically based so that they
00:12:01 --> 00:12:04 can fight and kill Jedi. It's meant to work against
00:12:04 --> 00:12:07 them. And Cadis just said, nope, gone, no more
00:12:07 --> 00:12:10 armor. So that's pretty crazy. That's why Shatterpoint
00:12:10 --> 00:12:12 is so f***ing busted. The strongest metal in
00:12:12 --> 00:12:16 the entire galaxy does not stand a goddamn chance.
00:12:16 --> 00:12:18 Also, speaking of on the topic of Beskar, this
00:12:18 --> 00:12:20 other question was asked earlier. It was asked
00:12:20 --> 00:12:22 outside of Twitch chat by one of my friends,
00:12:22 --> 00:12:26 Solanine. The entire thing is, given how much
00:12:26 --> 00:12:29 safer it might be for a youngling to use something
00:12:29 --> 00:12:31 like a Beskar stick instead of a lightsaber in
00:12:31 --> 00:12:34 training against lightsabers, why would the Jedi
00:12:34 --> 00:12:36 jump straight into giving small children sabers
00:12:36 --> 00:12:38 and did they just not give any f***s about people
00:12:38 --> 00:12:40 losing limbs? Like, live weapon's gonna live
00:12:40 --> 00:12:43 weapon. Untrained kids wouldn't have the degree
00:12:43 --> 00:12:46 of finesse an experienced Jedi does. Are they
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48 really just banking on force sensitivity doing
00:12:48 --> 00:12:51 the heavy work and, like, not accidentally chopping
00:12:51 --> 00:12:55 heads? answer that question at least i know it's
00:12:55 --> 00:12:57 addressed in the legends timeline i don't know
00:12:57 --> 00:12:59 how well it's addressed in the canon timeline
00:12:59 --> 00:13:03 but there's specific training sabers that are
00:13:03 --> 00:13:06 made that simulate a lightsaber use a sort of
00:13:06 --> 00:13:09 energy plasma as the blade however they only
00:13:09 --> 00:13:14 stun or zap they don't cut So that's what a lot
00:13:14 --> 00:13:18 of the training, you know, the Padawans use.
00:13:18 --> 00:13:22 However, usually by the time these Padawans reach
00:13:22 --> 00:13:25 anywhere between the ages of 12 and 17, they
00:13:25 --> 00:13:29 are instructed in the way of building a lightsaber,
00:13:29 --> 00:13:32 which you would think that at that time, you
00:13:32 --> 00:13:35 might want to wait a little bit longer. But yes,
00:13:35 --> 00:13:37 because the part of your question at the end
00:13:37 --> 00:13:40 says, are they really just banking on force sensitivity
00:13:40 --> 00:13:42 doing the heavy work? And the answer to that
00:13:42 --> 00:13:46 question is indeed yes because your lightsaber
00:13:46 --> 00:13:49 is an extension of your being of who you are
00:13:49 --> 00:13:52 of your connection and intimacy with the force
00:13:52 --> 00:13:55 therefore if the force is not there the connection
00:13:55 --> 00:13:58 is not there you shouldn't have a lightsaber
00:13:58 --> 00:14:01 and that kind of thing is is sort of like you
00:14:01 --> 00:14:04 know hinted at in the training with the training
00:14:04 --> 00:14:08 sabers before the jedi master the jedi knight
00:14:08 --> 00:14:11 in question training the padawans instructs them
00:14:11 --> 00:14:14 to start the construction like it is guided through
00:14:14 --> 00:14:18 the force both for the answer on if it's time
00:14:18 --> 00:14:22 for them to make their saber and as well as if
00:14:22 --> 00:14:25 the person making the saber is ready for the
00:14:25 --> 00:14:28 saber and does their master know that so to answer
00:14:28 --> 00:14:31 your question it would be safer to give them
00:14:31 --> 00:14:35 a beskar stick but there are safeguards in place
00:14:35 --> 00:14:38 to not have children training off the bat with
00:14:38 --> 00:14:41 lightsabers Yeah, Beskar's stick would be much
00:14:41 --> 00:14:44 heavier than... a lightsaber and it would be
00:14:44 --> 00:14:46 weighted differently. So training on a Beskar
00:14:46 --> 00:14:49 stick would definitely affect how they would
00:14:49 --> 00:14:52 learn to use a saber of any kind. So it's better
00:14:52 --> 00:14:54 to just give them the lightsaber. Lightsabers
00:14:54 --> 00:14:57 are very light to a sense. We see like the dark
00:14:57 --> 00:15:00 saber has simulated heaviness through the force,
00:15:00 --> 00:15:03 but typically lightsabers are not weighted. All
00:15:03 --> 00:15:06 right. The next question that we have, I kind
00:15:06 --> 00:15:09 of want to answer this one just because I like
00:15:09 --> 00:15:11 the question and episode five is my favorite
00:15:11 --> 00:15:15 movie. Jason asks, how did they get the AT -ATs
00:15:15 --> 00:15:17 on Hoth in the Battle of Hoth? Did they have
00:15:17 --> 00:15:20 to land a capital ship on the planet? No, believe
00:15:20 --> 00:15:22 it or not, they just launched them from the Star
00:15:22 --> 00:15:25 Destroyer. They just like kind of capsule them
00:15:25 --> 00:15:28 out and then they land on the planet. Now retrieval
00:15:28 --> 00:15:29 is a bitch and a half, but no, they literally
00:15:29 --> 00:15:32 launched them from space. They just kind of crash
00:15:32 --> 00:15:33 into the planet and get up. That's basically
00:15:33 --> 00:15:38 it. They dropped the AT -ATs in... the clone
00:15:38 --> 00:15:43 wars using the lottie gunships which is a little
00:15:43 --> 00:15:45 safer than just dropping a giant walker with
00:15:45 --> 00:15:49 vulnerable joints from space but yeah they still
00:15:49 --> 00:15:51 they wouldn't bring the capital ship and land
00:15:51 --> 00:15:54 it they do not do that okay and then we've got
00:15:54 --> 00:15:59 a few more questions uh so this one is uh what
00:15:59 --> 00:16:02 would the many different creatures taste like
00:16:02 --> 00:16:06 if i barbecued them probably like space meat
00:16:06 --> 00:16:10 I actually really don't know the answer to that
00:16:10 --> 00:16:11 question because I've never eaten anything from
00:16:11 --> 00:16:14 Star Wars. Could you barbecue Jabba the Hutt?
00:16:14 --> 00:16:17 It would be absolutely disgusting, but yes, you
00:16:17 --> 00:16:23 could. Nerfs would be like cows, right? Yes,
00:16:23 --> 00:16:26 nerfs. Because they eat nerf steaks all the time,
00:16:26 --> 00:16:28 so I guess that would be beef. I don't know about
00:16:28 --> 00:16:30 the people. Wait, you feel like Chewbacca would
00:16:30 --> 00:16:34 taste like what? Pork. Hey, hey, hey, don't talk
00:16:34 --> 00:16:36 about my homie Chewbacca like that, alright?
00:16:36 --> 00:16:38 Don't ever disrespect him. He obviously tastes
00:16:38 --> 00:16:41 like lamb, alright? He tastes like musk ox. I
00:16:41 --> 00:16:43 would believe ox also. Chewbacca tastes like
00:16:43 --> 00:16:48 oxtails, confirmed. I can hear Brick3P over there
00:16:48 --> 00:16:50 licking his lips, his droid lips. He's like,
00:16:50 --> 00:16:54 mmm, oxtails. let's see but to answer your second
00:16:54 --> 00:16:57 point to the question about the atats jason is
00:16:57 --> 00:16:59 wouldn't they burn up in the atmosphere get destroyed
00:16:59 --> 00:17:02 when they land no they have specific like casings
00:17:02 --> 00:17:05 meant for them to be deployed in such a manner
00:17:05 --> 00:17:07 not only that but the the shield plating that
00:17:07 --> 00:17:09 they have protects them from the heat at least
00:17:09 --> 00:17:12 until they they break atmosphere and then they're
00:17:13 --> 00:17:15 they're released from the capsule that they're
00:17:15 --> 00:17:17 launched in so they're usually pretty protected
00:17:17 --> 00:17:20 basilisk war droids as an example basilisk war
00:17:20 --> 00:17:23 droids as an example i think we only got one
00:17:23 --> 00:17:26 more question left and that is how would combat
00:17:26 --> 00:17:29 differ or would there be drastically different
00:17:29 --> 00:17:32 outcomes in battle if combat was based off of
00:17:32 --> 00:17:34 modern combat well don't we know that combat
00:17:34 --> 00:17:36 is kind of based off of modern combat it's not
00:17:36 --> 00:17:39 really though but like it's based off of similar
00:17:39 --> 00:17:41 things right think about mandalorian fighting
00:17:41 --> 00:17:43 right like a lot of what they described in the
00:17:43 --> 00:17:46 books is very similar to like mma meets muay
00:17:46 --> 00:17:49 thai like just kind of how they fight you don't
00:17:49 --> 00:17:52 think that it has some basis in that mma is well
00:17:52 --> 00:17:57 oh well yeah so like look at the clone wars that
00:17:57 --> 00:18:01 was like almost revolutionary war style combat
00:18:01 --> 00:18:04 just drop your your whole regiment like in a
00:18:04 --> 00:18:08 square and march them across a field and have
00:18:08 --> 00:18:10 them shoot at the guys at the other side with
00:18:10 --> 00:18:12 your big cannons and whatnot the rebels fight
00:18:12 --> 00:18:15 more like the guerrilla warfare but i mean like
00:18:15 --> 00:18:18 last 30 years plus modern combat no way they
00:18:18 --> 00:18:21 wouldn't fight i mean i would still be drastically
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23 different i would still consider guerrilla warfare
00:18:23 --> 00:18:26 semi -modern because you gotta think in our in
00:18:26 --> 00:18:29 our history what that's like 400 years or so
00:18:29 --> 00:18:32 i mean this galaxy has been we we know for a
00:18:32 --> 00:18:35 fact they've been in conflict for 25 000 back
00:18:35 --> 00:18:37 before jedi actually had lightsabers and still
00:18:37 --> 00:18:39 used real swords so like i feel like when you
00:18:39 --> 00:18:43 compare the 300 years to 25 000 years like i
00:18:43 --> 00:18:45 i guess that i mean i don't know but i would
00:18:45 --> 00:18:48 still consider guerrilla warfare fairly modern
00:18:48 --> 00:18:50 no i'm i'm thinking of like the the stuff i've
00:18:50 --> 00:18:53 seen of the ukraine russia conflict if they fought
00:18:53 --> 00:18:56 more like what i've seen of the ukrainian fighters
00:18:56 --> 00:18:59 doing in star wars like you wouldn't ever even
00:18:59 --> 00:19:01 see the enemy like half of it is drone and then
00:19:01 --> 00:19:04 some of it is trench warfare but like a lot of
00:19:04 --> 00:19:06 it is it's very different like i guess to answer
00:19:06 --> 00:19:09 his question then it would be yes well his question
00:19:09 --> 00:19:11 was how would combat differ or would there be
00:19:11 --> 00:19:13 a drastically different outcome in battles if
00:19:13 --> 00:19:15 combat was based on modern combat well okay what
00:19:15 --> 00:19:18 would your answer be the empire would have stomped
00:19:18 --> 00:19:20 the rebellion if they fought more like modern
00:19:20 --> 00:19:22 combat wise Absolutely. Bonk, bonk, thoughts?
00:19:23 --> 00:19:25 Nah, I don't got thoughts. You don't, you just,
00:19:25 --> 00:19:28 no thoughts, head empty? Yep. Oh, okay. I guess
00:19:28 --> 00:19:31 thinking about it like that, yeah, most of the
00:19:31 --> 00:19:34 major fights, like, okay, in that sense, the
00:19:34 --> 00:19:37 Empire would have never lost to the Rebellion,
00:19:37 --> 00:19:40 but the First Order would have never beat the
00:19:40 --> 00:19:42 New Republic either. But the New Republic didn't
00:19:42 --> 00:19:45 fight. They didn't even have capital ships and
00:19:45 --> 00:19:47 whatnot anymore. They decommissioned most of
00:19:47 --> 00:19:50 their stuff. So, I mean, the First Order would
00:19:50 --> 00:19:52 have rolled. over you think so but like with
00:19:52 --> 00:19:54 time and resources i still feel like there's
00:19:54 --> 00:19:57 no way that they would be able to match if it
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59 was modern if it was modern fighting Like I'm
00:19:59 --> 00:20:01 saying, like if you if right now you slapped
00:20:01 --> 00:20:05 down the First Order as a country on this world
00:20:05 --> 00:20:09 and you slap down the New Republic as a country
00:20:09 --> 00:20:11 on this world, who would win? And I still think
00:20:11 --> 00:20:12 it would be the New Republic because like the
00:20:12 --> 00:20:14 New Republic would be the size of like all of
00:20:14 --> 00:20:17 North America. And then the First Order would
00:20:17 --> 00:20:21 be like the size of Australia. The First Order
00:20:21 --> 00:20:23 clicks the nuke button before they do anything
00:20:23 --> 00:20:26 else. Your New Republic country in the world
00:20:26 --> 00:20:28 is gone. No, one nuke doesn't take out. north
00:20:28 --> 00:20:31 america but if north no they would click the
00:20:31 --> 00:20:33 nuke button the one that sends all the new oh
00:20:33 --> 00:20:35 okay okay all right all right fine i'll concede
00:20:35 --> 00:20:39 on that point then the the first order has a
00:20:39 --> 00:20:41 giant laser that they click the button and it
00:20:41 --> 00:20:44 blows up five entire planets just as a show of
00:20:44 --> 00:20:47 power they absolutely just wreck shop and the
00:20:47 --> 00:20:50 new republic they have no weaponry capabilities
00:20:50 --> 00:20:53 to to combat that okay fine fine you you win
00:20:53 --> 00:20:55 this round i agree with that they definitely
00:20:55 --> 00:20:58 do hit the release all nukes button I think that's
00:20:58 --> 00:21:01 all of the questions we actually had. We actually
00:21:01 --> 00:21:03 got through all of them this time. Oh, well,
00:21:03 --> 00:21:06 Jason did ask, are you winning, son? And today,
00:21:06 --> 00:21:11 absolutely. Me and Hunter agreed on quite a few
00:21:11 --> 00:21:13 of the points today. I was actually kind of shocked.
00:21:13 --> 00:21:16 I wasn't. I thought that's about how it was going
00:21:16 --> 00:21:20 to go. Man, I wanted to get into some more Alana
00:21:20 --> 00:21:24 Solo chosen one types of fights. You didn't give
00:21:24 --> 00:21:26 me enough opportunities. The only one you gave
00:21:26 --> 00:21:32 was who gets more poon. So what was I supposed
00:21:32 --> 00:21:34 to say? Hey, that was not my question. That was
00:21:34 --> 00:21:38 Bonk Bonk's question, okay? That was not me.
00:21:39 --> 00:21:41 All right, everyone. Well, that has been our
00:21:41 --> 00:21:44 show for today. Thank you all so much for tuning
00:21:44 --> 00:21:48 in to the recording of The Force Unscripted.
00:21:49 --> 00:21:51 That has been our show, everyone. Thank you all
00:21:51 --> 00:21:53 so much for tuning in and we will catch you guys
00:21:53 --> 00:21:55 on the next episode.
