Hello everybody, it's time for Cox and Crendog!
This is Crendog in the morning.
In the morning!
Broadcasting live, live, live, live, live!
In 4-hour recording studios!
Recording!
Wake your ass up! It's Cox and Crendog in the morning!
Hello there, everybody. What's up, next Crendor in the morning? What's up, next Crendor in the morning?
Hello there, everybody.
Welcome back to Cox and Crendor in the morning.
Welcome back.
It's a very wonderful day, whatever day it is.
Thursday?
Today is Thursday.
Oh, my week.
My week is just blended together.
I've been doing so...
Oh, Crendor, I've been doing so much.
Just so much.
Do tell.
For those who watch my YouTube channel,
shameless promotion,
you'll note that back at Christmas I bought my father a
trip to Machu Picchu, because that's
one of his bucket list things, and I was
like, hell, I'll go. So we're both
going in May. We have to hike
up an Incan trail, like
50 billion feet up into the mountains.
Turns out, you need to be in like, super top shape to do that.
Some little Incan boy walked that daily.
Yeah, I mean, a little Incan kid could walk that in a heartbeat.
Like, ooh!
Me not.
That's right, that's right.
That's what he does.
He goes, la la la la la, and runs off.
Nothing racist about that.
Nothing.
And, so, yeah, so I've been at the gym like two hours a day trying to do that.
I'm like, I just got to be able to get up a fucking mountain.
So plus work, plus all this other BS that happens in life, just let me tell you, Crandor.
And then today something crazy happened.
What was it?
I was coming back from the gym today
And outside, like on the street of where I live
You know where I live, it's very like secluded, quiet
It is, it's where a lot of hippies and Jewish people live
Yes, old Jews, not the young ones
The young ones are too cool for us
Yeah
What do you think?
You're so cool. It's like my perfect
place. It is. It's pretty
great. And so, as I'm driving
down the road, I see
what is no exaggeration, I think
a thousand? I don't even know.
Like, an entire army
of little
tween Asian girls.
And they're just walking down the street.
Mind you, it's like 10.30 at night.
And I'm like, what is going on here?
What is happening?
And I sort of have to drive through them like they're cattle
because they're just in the road.
I'm like, what is?
I'm looking around.
There's just so many.
It was really weird.
And so I park, and then I go upstairs, and I'm like, well, it's late, but I haven't had dinner yet.
I'm starving.
Like you, I went on the internet because every now and again I go on the YouTubes and see guys cooking things,
and I'm like, oh, that looks interesting.
Exactly.
I would like to make that.
And so because I'm not a big, like, alone drinker, I'm not an alcoholic is what I'm saying.
I'm only a social drinker.
So I have alcohol for when people come over or I buy stuff for when people come over and then it just sits there after they leave.
I'm like, well, this is stupid.
So I had red wine and I saw this guy make, like, a red wine steak thing.
And I was like, I can do that because that's easy as balls.
That's popular amongst the cooking community today, the red wine steak thing.
Yeah, I mean, that's what it's called.
And so I decide to make this and it's very quick and easy and I'm just like, I'm cooking.
And I look out the window and there are still roughly a billion little tween girls standing
in the street.
So it's like you are looking down at them,
and they're just like, there's billions of them.
It's like your Saruman looking down at the orcs.
Yes, tweenish Asian orcs.
You should have shouted out at them like,
the age of man will end.
Yes, that's right.
That's right.
And I don't know what the, I don't know what was happening.
It at this point is 1120 at night and I'm done cooking all this stuff.
I have taken a shower.
They're still outside.
I'm like, this is, this is borderline the strangest thing that I've ever experienced.
I don't know if
I'm finally really popular over in Asia
And this is what it's like
Or
One of those Korean pop stars
Is staying in the area
It was so weird
Where's the line leading to?
No it wasn't a line it was just like a mass of people
A gathering
Yeah it was like someone blew a horn.
Like an Asian tween horn.
And they all showed up.
They were like, we all ready.
And I don't know why. And all of a sudden
I hear like, talking outside?
And I go back and they started moving.
Like a giant herd
away. And that was it.
That was the end. But you didn't hear a horn.
I didn't hear a horn. I feel like the horn gathered them.
So they were already together.
Oh, okay.
The horn was sounded before I even got there.
I feel like once they all got...
It's like calling the council, and they were waiting for the last member to get there.
I get it.
The member got there, and then they were like, oh, well, now we can go.
I get it.
Yes.
If I didn't have stuff to do, I would have followed them to figure out where they were
going.
Because you know wherever they're going, it's going to go down.
Something's happening there.
I just don't know what.
We need to find that.
This is an interesting conundrum.
That's what I'm saying.
Where are they going?
Internet, where do young Asian tweens go at midnight in L.A.?
On a Wednesday.
Is there a DDR tournament?
I figure if this was 10 years ago, that would be the easy answer.
Maybe a League of Legends.
But that would be...
But I don't know which Asian country they're from.
That's very...
If they were Korean, I would have said, okay, maybe.
But I don't...
I feel like we need to find this out.
I'm really curious now. That's what I'm saying., okay, maybe. But I don't... I feel like we need to find this out. I'm really curious now.
That's what I'm saying.
It blew my mind.
I was like, what are they doing?
Why are there so many little Asian kids?
And it wasn't like adults.
They weren't...
Sometimes...
Did they not have supervisor adults?
No.
Well, I don't know.
God.
Look, look, world, listen to this.
We all know that at a certain point, no matter what age they are,
most Asian women just stop aging and become some sort of perfect woman.
That's true.
When they hit puberty until, I don't know, like 60, they look roughly the same.
Like, there was one time Crenor and I were at a mall
and we saw this daughter and her mom.
They were like twins.
Exactly like twins. They were gorgeous.
One was like 40s, the other one was like
18. You couldn't tell. And they looked
the same. And it's, you know, it's that weird
Asian thing where
they look gorgeous until, I don't know,
60-something, and all of a sudden, like a switch.
I think it's the green tea.
Because I've been drinking green tea
since about 17 years old,
and I still look 17.
I don't know if that's so good of a guy.
Popular belief is that older men
are sexier than younger men.
True fact.
Yeah, well, once I hit 60,
I'll get really, really old.
Really, really fat.
Your skin will fall off like Indiana Jones.
You'll become the Crypt Keeper.
I'll be like Bilbo Baggins
after he lost the ring.
You'll be like,
Welcome, boys and girls.
Okay, so I googleds. Oh, okay.
So I Googled Asian news where you live.
Uh-huh.
And.
Remember, this is just girls.
There were no guys there.
This is just Asian girls.
I don't understand.
Okay.
What was out there?
What was said?
Would they go to the Pan-Asian Highway?
What is that?
It's a cafe that serves
Asian food.
Alright.
In LA, there are more
Asian cafes that serve
Asian food than
anywhere else in the world, except maybe
Asia. So I feel like
that is the stupidest thing I've ever
heard. Maybe they were going to the Cheesecake Factory.
Cheesecake Factory was closed when I was driving past it.
So, oh, maybe they went there and there was, I don't know.
Can I just say for the record, who goes to the Cheesecake Factory and then enjoys the Cheesecake Factory?
I went there last, two weeks ago.
I went there two weeks ago.
We have to have listeners write in because here's the thing.
The Cheesecake Factory is the place you go
where you want everyone to find something to eat but no one to be happy.
I feel like it's not great food, but it's decent food.
Like you can go there and open their Bible menu and open it and find something to eat.
And it's a huge portion, like, 12,000 calories of just, like, mounds of food.
But you're never, you're never like, man, that was really good.
You're like, eh, I mean, I ate it.
They give you a lot, though.
I mean, I ate it.
They give you a lot, though.
I know that when I went, they also gave you a skinny, skinny menu.
And everything on the item is like skinny chips, skinny sandwich.
All it is is the same food, but like an eighth of what they give you.
Yeah.
It's a very Crandor place to go because as an old man, you understand,
eventually you just can't taste stuff anymore.
But if you get a lot of it, well, that's a deal.
That's a deal is what that is.
That's true, but I am, that's where my old man ends kind of, though, because I like quality food.
Then why'd you go?
Because I just wanted to go there.
It was, all the people were dressed up.
Why do people dress up to go to the Cheesecake Factory?
Like, there's some people, they're like super fancy dressed up. I was in sweatpants.
No, there's a
place where I used to live in Dayton, Ohio. I think it was
called the Spaghetti Warehouse or Spaghetti
Factory, something like that.
And we would always,
way back when, when I was in high
school, I would have to beg my parents
to go like, can we please go?
Can we please go? And it was downtown in
downtown Dayton. It was so fancy. Meanwhile, Dayton, one of the white trash can we please go and it was downtown in downtown dayton it was
so fancy meanwhile dayton one of the white trashiest places ever but it was really fancy
though and we went there and oh how i loved it and it was so good but looking back i realized
it's basically the cheesecake factory of noodles yeah i remember i went to that too and then it
closed i just imagine some like old italian guy in a really big warehouse surrounded by spaghetti,
and he's like, I have all the spaghetti in this warehouse.
What am I going to do?
You're going to contact that guy who makes the videos online.
He's like, I'll give you spaghetti if you give me the goat head.
Yep, yep, that's what's going to happen.
Oh, and in the Cheesecake Factory, did you know all the decorations look like the eye of Sauron?
I just looked for it.
Why do we keep going back to, holy shit, maybe the Cheesecake Factory was calling those kids.
Mm-hmm.
It's like when the Ring calls, like,
It's too good, there is no bother.
Like when the Ring talks to Frodo and Bilbo?
Yeah.
Speaking of which, this is why I kept mentioning Lord of the Rings.
Okay.
I watched Lord of the Rings.
Oh, you did?
And I watched Star Wars.
At the same time?
Did you waste an entire week of your life?
I've watched both of those.
All of them.
You've made some good and bad choices.
Okay.
So I watched Lord of the Rings.
I was like, all right. I've seen it all before. That's why I made So watch Lord of the Rings. I was like, alright,
I've seen it all before.
That's why I made
so many Lord of the Rings things.
Did you watch
the extended edition?
Yes.
Those are much better.
I like the extended edition
of the Lord of the Rings movies.
Yeah, it fills in the parts
that don't make sense.
Also...
And you're like,
oh, that's why
they don't make sense.
Yeah, they show Sauron
getting killed
and they show the hobbits
getting high,
which is very important.
It is.
Very important to the story.
Legalize it, hobbits.
Yes.
It's just a good movie.
I figured I'd watch that because I also saw The Hobbit and that was really good.
Did I say Sauron or Saruman?
Look, the white wizard gets killed.
Saruman's the white wizard, right?
Yeah, they show him getting thrown off the thing.
Yeah.
Or falling off because he gets stabbed.
You had to give him the same name like, name as Sauron.
Why couldn't he call him, like, Badolo?
I don't understand.
That's something I've always questioned.
Why the two of them have such similar sounding names?
Yeah.
Like, come on.
Come on, Tolkien, you're a writer.
Write a better name.
This is Saruman.
Like, just, like, it's Badolo, the white wizard.
Lucas made names like Gorgon Florgonstorgan.
Hell, he even made, he had to come up with a bad guy's name,
so he named him Savage Murderer.
But the name's like Savage Mother.
Marie.
It's so stupid.
We're going to get written what that guy's real name is, but it's just as dumb as what I said.
And it's one of those things that's like, if Lucas can just bullshit names, Tolkien, you could have done that.
Yeah.
I'm just saying.
Like Mount Doom.
Come on.
Mount Doom.
But here's the thing.
Okay, yes.
I haven't seen Star Wars since I was like seven years old.
All of them?
I think I saw like the episodes one through three when I was like eight or nine.
Holy shit.
Like it was a long time ago.
You are a child.
Although I remember seeing them in high school, so.
Yeah.
I mean, that was a long time ago.
But all right.
Exactly.
So I got them all on Blu-ray.
There's your first mistake.
The Blu-ray ones make all the changes to the old ones.
Don't do that.
I do not own any Star Wars Blu-ray or DVDs.
I have Star Wars.
You went through my stuff.
I have Star Wars on VHS.
I refuse to accept changes to the classics.
I looked at all the reviews of it on Amazon.
Half of them are like one star and half of them are five stars.
Yeah, because...
The one stars are just like, it's ruined.
Guys, it is ruined.
I want to tell you something.
The scene at the end of Return of the Jedi where Vader lifts the Emperor above his head
and chucks him down the shaft.
Spoiler, by the way.
Like, 30-year-old spoiler.
And he chucks him down the shaft. Spoiler, by the way. 30-year-old spoiler. And he chucks him down the shaft. In the original,
the way you could tell that he was emotionally
suffering because he was behind a mask
is he sees the Emperor electrocuting
his son, and his son's like, Father!
Help me! And he's getting
all shocked, and the music swells,
and Vader does a look at his son, then a look
at the Emperor, then a look at his son again, and then he
lifts the Emperor up and chucks him. And you're like, oh, see, there was a man behind the mask, right?
In the new one, because Lucas is, I want to say, just stupid as shit.
I think he's just really bored.
It's one of those things where you hear artists and masters of writers,
and they keep saying, like, if you keep going back to it and trying
to perfect it, it will never be perfect.
Just, when it's done
it's done, let it go. And I feel like Lucas
can't do that. He keeps going back to it
and tweaking it and tweaking it and tweaking it, thinking
it'll be better, but you're ruining the original
artwork, right? And in this case, you're ruining
the original Star Wars franchise with your
shitty tweaks. In this case,
you can go look this up online.
Vader, before he lifts the Emperor up and chucks him over the thing,
he looks at Luke, and then there's a flashback of the first three movies.
Well, the new three movies.
And he's like, oh.
He looks around, and it shows a flashback,
and it shows when he's like, no!
And then Vader lifts up the Emperor
and added into this scene is him
going no! And he chucks
him over the thing. I know.
It is unbearable.
It's like watching
something you loved as a child just get
shat on. It's really depressing.
I didn't have the cut scenes of it or the flashbacks.
Oh, you lucked out. You lucked out, my friend. But it did have the cut scenes of it or the flashbacks. Oh, you lucked out.
You lucked out, my friend.
But it did have the no.
And it was the same no as when he, they're like, Padme is dead.
And he's like, no.
Right?
He's like, no.
And he chucks it.
It is the worst.
And so, anyway, go on.
I can talk about Star Wars sucking.
I just want to point out, I have not watched a Star Wars movie in years because of those three movies.
Just want to point that out. Continue, please.
Well, that's what I wanted to watch, because I saw them so long ago.
I was like, Star Wars is so big, I want to re-watch it now that I'm not eight years old,
and see if it is really that good.
And so I watched the episode one.
It was,
eh.
Oh,
did you go in order of episode one through six?
Oh my God.
Okay.
I went hardcore.
Now this is pod racing.
It was,
it's such generic writing.
If you want to see, if you want to see a really good example of what that movie could have been,
our friend Gerard, one of the guys he knows, has written a –
two of the episodes are up.
It's episode one and episode two, and then he's making an episode three one now.
But it's on YouTube, and it's how he would have made them.
And each video is like an hour long, and it goes real in-depth, and they're brilliant.
Because the first one, he's like, here's the mistake they made.
The hero of the old trilogy is not Anakin.
It should have always been Obi-Wan.
Obi-Wan should have been the main character.
Obi-Wan sees his mentor die, right?
Like, all these different things.
Like, Obi-Wan fights the bad guy.
The first movie is Obi-Wan's movie,
but they keep him on the ship for
90% of it. He doesn't do anything,
and they introduce some dumbass little kid.
All of that is superfluous
garbage. Like, Obi-Wan should have been
the hero, and this guy does a really amazing
like, here's how I would have made the movie,
and by the time you watch the video and it gets to the end, you're like,
this guy should have just, he needs
to invent time travel. Go back in time and make this movie yeah it's very generic
but i was like okay i can adapt to this and then there's jar jar binks it was oh my god there's
one scene where they're going back home and he's just like misa go and hope and it's the most like
cringe worthy thing and then what was oh yeah then there was the Clone Wars. That was better.
It was better than the first one.
I... The problem with the Clone Wars is that the part that was interesting,
the mystery behind who was doing the whole thing,
that was sort of, like, brushed over.
Like, who's making the clones and all this stuff?
That was brushed over.
Yeah, it was.
And 90% of it was about the love story between two characters who had no chemistry,
who technically one was very old compared to the other.
Yeah.
Like, when they first met, he was a little boy, and she was like, dare I say, 16 plus.
Yeah.
So there's a good at least eight years there, which is fine for real life ladies.
But in a movie, that's creepy.
Yeah.
That's a rule.
Yep.
Yep.
And, yeah, they talk about that Jedi guy, and they're like, oh, he ordered all these clothes.
And it's like, well, are we going to learn more about him now?
And then they just don't talk about him.
Nope.
And then they make you think, well, maybe it was Darth Sidious.
And here's what would have been great. and then they just don't talk about him. Nope. And then they make you think, well, maybe it was Darth Sidious.
Here's what would have been great, is if at the end, the Emperor,
or not the Emperor, but Palpatine was a clone of Darth Sidious,
who he put in, like, there should have been a mystery there.
Because here's the problem with the entire three new movies.
Yeah.
There's nothing new suspenseful there.
Yeah. movies, there's nothing new suspenseful there. Like a really great example is prequel movie like The Hobbit where, you know, Bilbo, yes,
we all know Bilbo is going to live.
Fact.
It's just going to happen.
But there are other characters, new characters added into the series that were never even in the books.
So their fates, we don't know.
Right?
Like there are things that you don't know what's gonna happen.
In the Star Wars
franchise, Obi-Wan lives, Anakin
lives, Yoda lives,
right? Like, all these characters
that are main characters, you know
what happens to them. And
the characters that are superfluous,
like Mace Windu and stuff, well, it's like,
well, they aren't in the new one, so obviously they're gonna die.
There's nothing that was like, oh, I got to watch this.
It was just so much hype around nothing.
And it infuriates me.
Anyway, continue.
I'm going to stop talking about it.
I feel like they, I thought the one cool part, well, in the third movie, it's like, this is where he becomes Darth Vader.
But that was literally the third movie.
They should just call it When He Becomes Darth Vader.
Now, I want to know what you thought of the old three.
Okay.
Well, hold on.
To wrap it up, I thought it would have been cool if they went more into the Emperor line.
Because he, like, talks about the one line where he's, like, all secretive, like, and then he killed his master when it was actually him.
That's what I'm talking about.
That would have been so cool.
That's what I'm talking about.
That would have been so cool.
And then I looked up the lore behind it, and it was, like, his master, like, trained him, and, like, he was, like, super powerful and, like, cheating, trying to cheat death,
and, like, then he killed him in his sleep and stuff.
Oh, my God.
Here's the thing that makes it even worse.
So all that stuff, I don't know if it works anymore or if it's canon
because there is, since the old movies which would be
what the early eight like the last one was 81 82 83 something like that since then there have been
30 years of expanded universe so george lucas at the time said and i'm a big nerd for this stuff
because you know me i like lore and things. And so, George Lucas said,
here's the deal. You can
make books, stories,
comics, games, whatever, set within
my universe, but they have to be within a certain
time period. So, they cannot
be 40 years after
my trilogy, or
they can't be within that period.
Like, oh my god, something's
crazy. I don't know what it is exactly.
But it's like you can go in between then.
You can use that time in between then.
So let's say year zero is where we're starting, right?
So that's Return of the Jedi.
That's year zero.
Yeah.
You can make stories after that stretching out 40 years.
But you cannot make anything after that.
I see. And you can make stories before that stretching out 40 years, but you cannot make anything after that. I see.
And you can make stories before that stretching out 40 years, but you cannot make anything
before that.
But then he broke his rule and said, you can make things way, way thousands of years ago.
So there's stories about like, you know, like Knights of the Old Republic and things.
So that's like so far in the past.
Yeah.
That does not affect his storyline at all.
But basically what he's saying is like, you can make these stories about my characters, but do not go so far out.
Because his goal was to make nine movies total, right?
And so he had things, I guess, he thought that he wanted to tell for stories.
That would be episodes one, two, and three, and episodes seven, eight, and nine.
And those would be the story canon.
And so there's a massive expanded universe.
And there's an entire storyline that takes place after Return of the Jedi.
And goes way into the distant, like, 30 years into the future.
And so you have amazing characters.
Like, really good.
There's very good books.
If you want to read the Thrawn Trilogy.
T-H-R-A-W-N,
it's, like, about the last Imperial commander who's just a total badass,
and he's like, I'm going out like a boss, right?
And so it has, like, Luke, and Luke, you know, gets married
and has Han and Leia getting married and having kids.
And, like, their whole family, I mean, it goes,
eventually it goes off the rails.
Like, eventually they keep having to, like, their whole family, I mean, it goes, eventually it goes off the rails. Like, eventually they keep having to, like, update stuff.
And so, for example, Chewbacca gets killed by a moon crushing him.
What?
I mean, that's literally what happens.
A moon?
A moon falls on him.
That's some bad luck.
It's true.
Chewbacca is murdered by a moon.
And one of Han's kids goes to the dark side and becomes like this really evil Sith Lord and just goes nuts.
And then they introduce like a weird alien race and it just goes crazy.
Because eventually, you know, you can only have the Empire around for so long before it's like, have you killed those guys already?
But it's this huge universe.
And Disney and Lucas got together and literally just said recently, all of it is not
canon anymore. So all those stories
are just fan fiction that you
bought, right? And so what they're saying
is, the new movie, the
new 7, 8, and 9,
those movies are the new
canon story and lore.
And so, they have
insane things in them. And here's
the deal. I hated 1 through 3 so much
That I don't care what they do
With the new ones
Because it'll be better than nothing
But it's things like
The casting call
One of the things right now is they're looking for
A I guess mixed race
Girl to play
Obi-Wan's daughter
Or granddaughter
Uh huh And then Hugo Weaving is going to play Obi-Wan's daughter or granddaughter. Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
And then Hugo Weaving is going to play an Imperial commander.
Well, isn't the Empire dead?
I don't know where they're going with this storyline.
I hope that they use some of the Thrawn storyline stuff,
but who knows?
Look, Crandor, this is a sore subject.
Why'd you bring... You took me down the rabbit hole, man.
I don't know.
I just wanted to watch Star Wars. You took me down the rabbit hole man I don't know I just wanted to watch Star Wars
You took me down the rabbit hole
We're not coming back from this
We wasted an entire podcast
Talking about Star Wars
Like two giant fucking nerds
Oh my god
Alright tell me what you thought of the
Three old ones so I can shut up now
The three old ones
I honestly when I watched them I was like I can't believe these were made in, like, the 70s.
Well, the late 70s for the first one, and then, like, early 80s.
Like, they were just really good.
And it was, okay.
The first one, that's where Luke's all like, hey, I'm Luke.
He's kind of, yep, that's what he's, hey, I'm Luke.
He's like a dweeby guy.
Right.
It's like, compared to Anakin, when you meet Anakin, he's like, uh, I'm Anakin.
And then he's all like, complains about things.
He's like, oh, why's that have to happen?
Luke's more like, oh, jeez.
Oh, golly gee.
He's like, he's more that type of guy.
So he's like ah he's funny
And
Plus he has two robots who are actually
Kind of humorous I'm like
Mesa no liking
I'm racist
So I mean he's got that going for him
Then Han Solo's just like
The lovable douche bag
I'm convinced of this.
I've said it before. The
difference between the first three
and the new three is
Han Solo. Yeah.
If you take Han Solo out of the old ones,
it is just as
flat as the new three.
Han Solo, every
movie, just like the book we wrote,
every movie needs the rogue who gives no shits but he has a heart of gold.
Yeah.
Every single one of them.
If you make a movie with a team, you always have to have the hero who's the goody-two-shoes guy, and then you have to have the girl who's trying to discover herself, and then you have to have the guy
who gives no shits, and he's a badass, but he has a heart of gold.
Yep.
That's what you need.
That's what you need.
And then a giant furry man creature.
Yeah.
Yep.
He's just like the big, you can have any, like look at Game of Thrones, they got Hodor.
He's not furry, but he's just a big person.
And he just says Hodor.
Yeah, which is just like...
Yeah, yeah.
You need one of those.
Yep.
And that means Rickon is basically C-3PO without his legs.
Yeah.
But that was good.
And then the second one, The Empire Strikes Back,
everyone's like, that's my least favorite one of the three. Who says that?
I read that on a lot of places.
Oh, those guys are retarded.
Empire Strikes Back is one of my favorite movies
of all time. Yeah, I thought it was my favorite one.
It is.
The bad guys, it's anytime the bad guys
win, you're just like, holy shit.
That's
a good ending. That one was
awesome. The beginning with the walkers and stuff that's a good ending. Like, that one was awesome.
The beginning with the walkers and stuff, that entire movie's fantastic.
Yeah, they had the beginning with the snow and the walkers and the, what is it, the Lampa or whatever?
Yes.
And he knocks them out, and then it, like, transitions into, they go to, what do you call it, Lando?
They go to Lando's place, to Cloud City.
Yeah, and you're like, this guy's shady.
I don't know what's up with him.
And then he's like, hey, I'm fine.
And you're like, all right, he's fine, but he still seems shady.
And then it's like, bam, he made a deal with the evil people,
but it's like he didn't want to do it.
They made him, and it's just like, ugh.
Right, there's so much character development in that one movie.
And what's interesting is that most...
And Yoda.
That's true.
I mean, most new movies copy that format now.
So you see a lot of people do...
I know Harry Potter did it, and...
Oh, God, what is that movie coming out now?
The third Hunger Games movie.
And basically what they do now is a lot of people realize that that the format they used for star wars which was first movie tells a story second
movie is a lot of plot and intrigue and stuff and third movie is the wrapping up saving characters
and then an hour-long battle right yeah that's what the last two harry potter movies were it
was all story in the first one
and the last one was a full movie of
fighting over the school.
It's a good format.
Because you get one that tells you everything.
You're like, okay, good. Now let's get ready
and go blow stuff up. It works.
And I think, look, they did well.
Lucas did well. You know why
he did well in the second one? Because he didn't
direct it.
Yeah. He... well lucas did well you know why he did well in the second one because he didn't direct it yeah he he is he is he like part of the seventh one no they literally just said you can give us some
advice but that's it that's all he's done i've never been more happy in my entire life yeah
and then yeah then there's return of the Jedi. Oh, yeah, Yoda in The Empire Strikes Back.
I thought Yoda is like, it's funny because you watch him in like the last, like episode three,
and he's all like serious and he fights the Emperor and he's like, I have failed.
And then you see him in The Empire Strikes Back, he's like, oh, hello.
Yeah.
Right?
He's like a little crazy old guy.
Yeah.
And he's such a better character in the old ones.
Because you're like, oh shit, the crazy guy is the Jedi Master.
Yeah.
Like, that's awesome.
Like, he's like, the old ones seem inspired by, you know, old Japanese kung fu movies and samurai flicks and things like that.
Where there's like a story and a lesson to be learned.
Like, this little tiny old man is one of the most powerful people in the universe yeah like that's
that's some deep shit right there and the new ones it's like yeah no um midichlorians getting
you they're in your body and they give you powers science it's boo! You killed the fantasy.
Yeah.
And it's like, yeah, they do tell. It's like you got Darth Vader who becomes a good person again.
And you got Luke who, like, resists evil.
Right.
They even do, like, the hand thing.
His hand's a robot.
He's already half his dad.
Yeah.
Right?
It's great.
And then, yeah, in the old one, old walker the new like one through three
it's kind of like anakin's do she watch his love story don't really care
he becomes more douchey it was a bad guy and then he's like his friend can't die
sky and it's like no he's not you dumbass the worst part of that entire of
the third the third movie is an and Obi-Wan are fighting.
And in a line that I think was written in a conference room, it was, Anakin, the Emperor is evil.
And he's like, not from my perspective on the situation.
It's like, shut up.
Shut up.
I remember that, too.
I remember because I thought the same thing.
I was like, that sounds so scripted.
Not from my perspective.
I disagree.
From my perspective, his opinions and beliefs are far more realistic than yours.
I am willing to debate you on this
pool of lava that should be a scene from the movie it's just him and like Obi-Wan
like podiums they're debating each other here is why I think the Emperor's evil
and I cut and he's like I disagree or you see he has like note cards The powerpoint
Yep
As you can clearly see
The clones helped save the empire
And the Jedi really didn't do anything
It's like Anakin but he killed the Jedi
He's just making
Simple reforms
That will save the empire several thousand
Credits a day
Yes I mean he's giving us
healthcare and benefits.
Do you not understand?
Uh-oh, I tripped into the fire!
That's how he becomes Darth Vader.
