Thank you.
Hey everybody, welcome to the weekly Planet's Caravan of Garbage
where we look at an old thing.
Is it good?
Probably not, because it's old.
Well, name a good thing that's also old.
You can't.
Your grandad?
No good.
Get him out of here.
You probably murdered somebody in a war.
That's right.
Anyway, this week, speaking of things that are old and maybe good,
but they're actually not good.
Great.
I decided to check out
and since we're doing
it's Star Wars.
We're doing a
Star Wars theme.
A trilogy of Star Wars
themed episodes.
Absolutely.
Okay, great.
Don't you worry about it.
Alright.
Just checking.
Alright, so this week
I decided I should check out
the first episode.
I have memories
of maybe seeing
little bits of this
as a kid maybe but I decided to check out the first episode. I have memories of maybe seeing little bits of this as a kid, maybe, but I decided to
check out the first episode of Star Wars Droids, the adventures of R2-D2 and C-3PO.
I believe, is this the first ever animated Star Wars piece?
No, there's a bit in that Terrible Holiday special.
The less said about it, the better.
Sure.
Yeah.
But so this week, I decided I'd check out the first one so first of all uh c3po and r2d2 great the great the great
character do they get both of their voices back well look they certainly got they certainly got
anthony daniels as the voice of c3po and for r2d2 i assume like a casio keyboard or something like
that be weird to get out you know you get you get the call up. Yeah, yeah. Hey, you want to do the voice of this?
What about...
Yeah, I'd love to.
What about my good old friend, Kenny Baker?
Is he...
No, no.
He's not a...
Can we put him in like some sort of...
Could we put him in a garbage cannon,
have him rattle back and forth just for some foley?
Absolutely.
But no, the answer's no.
First thing I noticed is this...
Oh, I'm going to dig it up.
Please do.
This is Star Wars, so you know it's going to have a great...
That's the first thing you noticed.
Yeah, exactly, yeah.
Of course, it's going to have some great music.
Yeah.
Obviously, all the Star Wars movies have...
Spectacular music.
Spectacular soundtrack.
Even the bad movies have great soundtracks.
Yeah, you've got the great John Williams and all the Star Wars movies.
A living legend.
From this theme song, we get Stuart Copeland from The Police.
They've roped him in somehow.
And his theme song is called Trouble Again.
And it's like a Huey Lewis and the News style pop song with lyrics.
Great.
About getting into trouble again.
Would you like to hear some of it?
Please tell me you've got that ready to go.
I've got it ready to go.
Stuart Copeland from the police, ladies and gentlemen.
They're droids that don't have any weapons.
He sounds like Sting.
Right?
Yeah.
And I have to wonder, and R2-D2 is himself,
you have to wonder how they got... Slap in the face. Yes, you have to wonder how they got slap in the face yes you have to wonder how they got him and i assume they went hey stewart copeland of the police famous band
the police do you want to do some music for star wars all right and this this is this came out in
like late 1985 yeah and what we also got in 1985 middle of 1985 was back to the future they're
gonna say dune but yeah so yeah so and i think
what they did is they went okay he went oh maybe this is my chance i'll make a little pop song this
is my huey lewis this is my this is my power of love moment yes and then he's like absolutely
signing the dotted line and then he's like then they're like all right here it is opening theme
to droids and he's like oh what what that to me sounds like that they would have put some money
behind this so the animation reflect that?
For the time?
You know, it kind of does.
Okay, then.
Yeah.
I mean, other things maybe not so much.
Sure.
So we open up.
I've decided to provide you with a visual feast.
Please do.
For the senses.
So we open up in orbit of the planet Ingo.
Right.
Which, now Star Wars is famous for all kinds of varieties of planets.
Yeah, they are.
What kind of planet do you think Ingo is?
Ice planet?
Desert planet.
Surprise.
They got me.
They got you.
Which is perfect, I think, because especially with the animation of the time,
what you want is you want like a yellowish desert planet,
which is the perfect contrast to like a yellowish kind of droid.
Sure.
It really stands out.
You know what I mean?
Anyway, we follow like this trail of debris down to the planet Ingo.
Right.
And we discover a twerking C-3PO.
What?
He's doing a little bit of a twerk.
Yeah.
He's twerking back and forth.
He's been jettisoned onto the planet by his previous owner, Smuggler.
When are these set?
These are set before episode four.
So his life is just a series of being jettisoned onto desert planets.
Absolutely it is.
Okay then.
And yeah, so this era, they've seen some stuff already.
Like they've seen dismemberments, they've seen murders,
they've seen all sorts of stuff.
But anyway, so they were won in a card game by this smuggler,
naming no names.
But I mean, it has to be Hansel or Orlando
because there are no other smugglers in the Star Wars universe.
So it's got to be one of those guys.
Anyway, and he's like, oh, and he's lamenting the death of R2-D2
because he can't find him.
He's like, oh, you miracle of modern technology,
you're a prince among droids, I miss you kind of thing, whatever.
And then bloody he comes out of the sand and he's like,
you piece of garbage.
I hate you.
I hate your guts, you dumb droid.
I hate you.
But anyway, so they're like, what are we going to do?
And then all of a sudden this landspeeder rocks up.
Right.
In fact, two landspeeders rock up.
These two best of pals.
There's Thor.
Right.
This is Thor.
What a haircut.
He's a cool all-American dude of space.
Is his haircut a snake?
Well, look, it's a red mohawk ponytail,
and he's a man, he's a cool all-American dude
who's fully committed to being asymmetrical.
So he's missing half of his hair.
Oh, right.
His outfit's only got one sleeve.
Yep, yep.
I assume he's only wearing one sock.
I mean, they don't wear underwear in the Star Wars universe,
but I assume maybe one sock. You know, he's only wearing one sock i mean they don't wear underwear in the star wars universe but i should maybe maybe one sock yeah you know he's he's breaking with tradition so there's there's thor and then he's his best pal jord who's funny fat guy what what is it's
thor jord it took me a while to work out what is going with that guy's head but i figured it out
it's a thumb yeah it's a thumb yeah right anyway so C-3PO does his classic
I'm a protocol droid
you know
right right
he had to serve
in a million languages
and they're like
it's an astromech droid
R2-D2
get this gold thing
out of the way
we need this astromech droid
so they're like
they pile them in
there's a lot of
this show has a lot of
C-3PO pratfalls
right right
there's at least four in this
that's too many
how long is this?
23 minutes that's too many could How long is this? 23 minutes?
That's too many.
Could have fit in one more.
Okay, fair enough.
That's not enough.
Right, right, right.
So anyway, but they're like,
okay, let's get this
back to home base.
Let's get Astromech
and C-3PO to some extent
back to home base
kind of thing.
But they end up
going through
the forbidden zone,
the restricted zone.
Why would you?
Well, I mean,
you live there.
Why would you? Exactly why would you, you live there. Why would you?
Exactly why would you?
In many ways, it's a real dumb move.
But all these bloody seeker droids pop out,
like these floating spheres that are going to come out.
Are they imperial?
Is that why it's forbidden?
No.
We'll soon see, though, won't we?
Yeah.
How dare you assume that just-
I apologize.
No, that's quite all right.
Anyway, and they're coming up on Jord, right?
Yeah.
The fat party animal, Jord.
And he's like,
all right, oh, man, I'm done for.
I've got to get out of here, right?
And he hits a little button on his belt there.
Yeah.
It's my favorite move.
And he ejects.
And his outfit expands into like a...
Like a jelly bean.
He turns into a giant jelly bean,
a giant springy jelly bean, right?
Pretty great, right?
How is he getting away with that, though?
How is that faster than staying in the speeder?
I'm throwing up my hands in defeat.
I don't know.
This thumb's an idiot.
Yeah, right?
But he survives, right?
This bloody droid.
That's a droid?
Yeah, it's like a tank droid.
Okay, sure.
So they're being pursued by these tank droids, right?
And we think maybe it's curtains for them,
but then we see they're being observed by this brave desert warrior of some sort.
At a distance.
Who could it be, right?
Nobody important?
Well.
In the Star Wars universe?
Boba Fett?
No, it's nobody important in the Star Wars universe.
Spoiler alert, it really isn't.
Oh, man.
So anyway, they're all in a heckin' bit of trouble, right?
So C-3PO's like, oh, no, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll.
We're just going to do, we're just going to do everyone.
Everybody's everyone can only be.
Everyone can only be in this universe.
So they're like, oh, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, back away.
I'll take care of this.
And he grabs a rock.
He's a bit of classic Mr. Magoo style misdirection.
I can't grab shit. His fingers don't work. That's what I'm talking about. He grabs a rock. Here's a bit of classic Mr. Magoo style misdirection. I can't grab shit.
His fingers don't work.
That's what I'm talking about.
He grabs a rock from the ground, right?
And he hurls it.
He hurls it just as our mysterious figure is like shooting a laser at the tank mech, right?
Yeah, yeah.
And he hits it with a rock and it explodes.
And he's like, oh.
I did it.
I did it.
And then, of course, we-
I don't think droids are cool with killing other droids generally.
That's what I'm talking about.
There's some weird-
This show takes some weird liberties.
Yeah.
I mean, some do, but he doesn't.
C-3PO becomes this weird man of action in this.
Weird droid of action.
And I do not.
I don't know about it, man.
But anyway, so then we see the big reveal.
The mysterious brave warrior, desert warrior, is in fact a pretty lady.
A beautiful woman. A beautiful woman.
Beautiful woman.
Interesting.
In many ways, in watching this episode, I'm like,
oh, this has a lot of parallels to future Star Wars things.
That's like kind of a Rey thing.
But then I'm like, it's probably just a coincidence.
You know what I mean?
Anyway, he's there.
He's surveying the rubble, the mayhem that he's wrought.
Look at the good work I did.
And Thor and Jorah are like, you did it, man.
You're the best.
He just magoos his way through it, right?
He boba-fets his way through it.
Bloody oath he does.
Right.
So cut to the owner of the droids, local crime lord Tig From,
or as he's referred to as by his underling, Tiggy.
Little son-plot, he hates being called Tiggy.
I was going to say, that's not something you'd call your boss.
No, well, see, that's the thing.
So Tig is actually the son of a very renowned crime boss.
Oh.
Size From.
Size From.
Size From.
Yeah.
You'd think it's a pun.
It's one of those names you think it's going to be a pun.
But it's not.
It's not a pun.
I'm thinking, yeah, they would have been out of names by then,
wouldn't they?
Exactly, right? They had to spend like a decade thinking of more names
like qui-gon jinn go on but anyway so he's like they're like oh what who are these are these
troublemakers they're they're going to interfere with our plans our plans to to oh i'm so upset
oh here's my upset face he looks like the the villain from bloody She-Ra Hordak
yeah Hordak
I was gonna say Hordak
but I didn't think
I didn't think I was right
he's a little bit
Hordak light
or pre-Hordak
depending on when
She-Ra came out
absolutely
who even knows
but he's
but they're
but and then
here's the underling
and he's all like
he's also a thumb
exactly
but they're like
oh
what were they
what would these people do
what were they doing here we're gonna you know they're here to oh, what were these people doing? What were they doing here?
We're going to, you know, they're here to interfere with our plans.
We're going to defeat all the other gang lords.
We're going to defeat Jabba the Hutt and et cetera, et cetera,
using our super weapon.
What is that?
They built a super weapon.
But what is it specifically?
It's called the Trigon.
It's some sort of satellite weapon.
I looked it up because I'm like, I'll get the wiki for this.
Yeah.
The Wookiee you made.
Yes, the Wookieepedia.
Very good.
Thank you.
Very good.
Well, you know.
Yeah.
All right.
So Trigon 1, manufactured by the Fromgang, class weapons satellite.
I know.
Yeah, all right.
Technical specifications, armament, planet-destroying weapon,
parentheses, claimed, never actually seen destroying a planet.
So spoiler alert, none of that. So these guys may have had planet-destroying weapons.
Correct.
Wow.
So I guess it's just freely available or they're lying.
I mean, it looks pretty impressive, right?
It's got that bit of a seashell curve to it.
Yeah, yeah, sure.
Does it shoot from a standing, like...
Never actually used.
Who's to say?
Right?
You know what I mean?
Man.
Yeah, but anyway, so the boys...
If you worked on the show, you're an idiot.
But also, what was the...
Tell me what that was supposed to do.
Yeah, right?
Look, it's Chekhov's Trigon 1, you know what I mean?
Yeah, sure.
If you show Trigon 1 in the first act
You've got to use Trigon 1 by the third act
Otherwise you're just wasting everybody's time
C-3PO didn't pick up that rock and then put it back down
And then we never see him throw the rock
Exactly, yeah
So anyway, the boys, Thor and Jord
On May 10th, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
Is coming to IMAX and theaters everywhere.
What a wonderful day!
This summer, one movie event will reign.
It is our time.
Apes hunt humans.
That is wrong.
Bend for your king.
Never.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.
Only in theaters May 10.
Tickets on sale now.
And C-3PO and R2-D2, the boys, they all get to...
They head back to the workshop, right?
And we learn a bit about Thor and Jor.
They're these two dudes, right?
And they want to get in the land speed of get in the the land speed the land speed of
races which are off planet right that's been their whole goal they need an astromech droid
to help pilot the land speeder because that's what you need in the races apparently okay little
nod to pod racing or it's a coincidence it's a coincidence right and and they're like oh man
george sorry you lost your land speeder you know because you have to eject into your weird
jellybean orange costume and he's like
no problem
but I've still got
the White Witch
which is their bloody
they've built a legendary
land speeder
the White Witch
right
it's got some like
goat horns on the side
yeah it's because
it's legendary man
or ram horns
yeah right
and anyway
Thor and the boys
Thor and C-3PO
and R2-D2
they dash out for a little bit
right
right right
and they're out
for like two seconds
right
yeah
and then some are bloody some are bloody the gang lords' droids show up
and bloody sneak Jawed away.
They just grab him.
They're like, this is one little orange jelly bean lad
we want for ourselves.
He's the best land speeder dude in the land.
We're going to take him kind of thing, right?
He's not the best pilot, clearly, but he's the best builder? builder i guess yeah because there's some gaps in this universe let me certainly yeah
so anyway anyway there's this scary grabber droid that looks like it's designed specifically for
kidnapping for kidnapping exactly yeah well you would wouldn't you you know if you're doing a lot
of kidnapping why would you yeah but anyway right so thor and c-3po and r2d2 they're like this was a little suspicious
let's go back to the let's go let's go back to the workshop right pratfall nice c-3po pratfall
right but then they show back but yeah so then they go back to the workshop and they're like
he's gone they've taken him we're gonna get him back um pratfall god c-3po pratfall he's got a
bucket on his head very good yep and then they're then they're like, okay, we've got to get out of here.
But then they go outside, right?
And they go to bloody start up their one remaining land speeder.
Is it the good one?
No, it's the regular one.
White Witch is still in the workshop, right?
Okay, gotcha.
But then all of a sudden they're being surrounded by kidnap bots.
Bloody kidnap bots, right?
Just bloody as far as the eye can see.
And all he's got is this weird weird glowing q-tip
kind of situation it's a giant ear it's for cleaning your space toilet it's for cleaning
out the sarlacc you know what i mean you need that right but then they're like oh what do we do
right and then bloody oh wait there's a bit you might have to edit around this that's right okay
so anyway the mysterious warrior lady shows up right and she's like hey it's it's me um what's
her name kia is her name like the car
that's interesting yeah right yeah anyway and so she shows up and she's like ray's original name
was kira oh definitely a nod or a coincidence it's almost anyway so anyway so anyway she shows
up and she's like i'm just a regular person i was lost in the desert and i heard you guys
mechanics are bloody i'm just here to, maybe you guys can help me out.
That's nice.
This is before Jord gets kidnapped.
Right, right.
It's before that.
Maybe, maybe check it in.
Or just leave it here.
It doesn't matter.
I mean, in the grand scheme of things, right?
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Right.
So they're like, oh man, Thor, you're bloody surrounded by kidnapped bots.
What are you, what are you going to do?
And then she's like, R2-D2, help him out.
And they grab the bloody white witch and they do a swift getaway look at that nice look how swift it is that is
swift real swift you know what i mean that's as swift as it gets yeah now the best thing about
the white witch is we see throughout the episode is it's primarily good as a battering ram nice
like this this beautifully this beautiful sleek and elegant yeah it's just designed for smashing
robots and stuff just knocking them over right and so And so they're like, okay, we've found the secret base.
We've found the gang lord's secret base.
It's never really established how.
They just did, I guess.
They just did.
And they're like, okay, we've got to get in there, right?
Yeah.
And so cut to R2-D2 doing a little bit of his classic
computer manipulation kind of situation, right?
Yep, yep.
And they're like, how do we get R2 of situation. Right. Yep. And they're like,
how do we get R2D2 out of there?
And they're like the same way we got him in misdirection.
First of all,
we never see them get him in.
It's just,
there's a whole scene missing.
But anyway,
so they're just like,
all right,
we'll do that.
And then they just,
they just show up at the front of,
they like,
they like zip in front of the sentry droids
the tank droids
okay
and then they open
the gates open
so they can send out
some more tank droids
right right
and then R2-D2
just sneaks out
just rolls out
just rolls out
kind of thing
and they're like
okay we've got all the data
let's go back in again
it's very
what
yeah I know right
see they're checking out the data
okay sure
let them check out the data
right
so smash cut 2
star wipe two.
Yes.
Inside the base, we've got the greasy henchman.
We've got Jord.
He's in there.
He's just in there cracking wise because he's a big fat party animal.
Yeah.
And he's like-
Those guys are two peas in a pod, mate.
Yeah.
He's like, he gives it a bit of, hey man, nice suit.
And the guy shoves him onto a seat and he's like, nice seat.
You know that classic wordplay?
Very good.
Yeah, it's good, right?
It's pretty excellent, right?
And then the gang lord shows up and he's like, oh,
I'm going to send you off world to bloody work on my something or others,
I don't know.
Whatever I do.
Yeah, whatever I do, exactly right.
And then George is like, oh, you're not the great gang lord
I've heard so much about.
You're just his son, I don't care.
And he puts his feet up, puts his feet up on the desk.
It's a bold maneuver.
Bold maneuver, right?
Exactly, yeah.
And he's like, all right.
I might have lost my train of thought.
That's all right.
I'll edit all around it.
No, never edit it.
Oh, no, so he's like...
And so our gang lord friend, he sort of spills the beans.
He's going to plan to use the super weapon.
Right, right.
To kill all the other gangs and then...
And societies and planets.
Yeah, and societies and take all their territories.
Presumably, we never know.
We don't ever know if it works.
Yeah.
So this gang lord, he explains his plot and he explains that he doesn't trust humans.
That's why all his mechanisms are like droids.
Okay, sure.
I build droids.
I'm the best.
Yeah, yeah.
That's what you're here for kind of thing.
Gotcha.
And then George gives him a bit too much lip.
And so the henchman just shoves him over and shoves him onto the couch. Yeah, yeah. That's what you're here for kind of thing. Gotcha. And then George gives him a bit too much lip.
And so the henchman just shoves him over and like shoves him onto the couch,
like into the ground.
And then he's like.
Nice couch?
Yeah.
No, but then he's like, couldn't get a droid to do that.
I'm fairly confident you could. Yeah.
Right?
That's a pretty basic maneuver.
Right, right, right.
So anyway, the good guys, the remaining, they're like, okay, we're going to see.
Maybe he means be spiteful. Oh, yeah, that's definitely true. Couldn't get they're like okay we're gonna maybe he means be spiteful oh yeah that's definitely true no they could also they could
also they run the gamut of emotions these droids anyway so the good guys are like okay we're gonna
we're gonna sneak into this base right and and kia's like how are we gonna get through this
this door here like this there's no way in right and and thor's like the door that r2d2 just went
through yeah yeah but then thor's like oh no that r2d2 just went through yeah yeah but
then thor's like oh no i've got it i've got a way so so this guy came back in the day to for us to
to work on one of his ships one of his speeders he never came back and he just he just left this
in here it's a bloody bloody lightsaber you know that you know that you know that he just just
left it in his speeder yeah i mean you know that weapon that know that, you know that. He just left it in his speeder. You know that weapon that represents your journey of training to become a Jedi.
Absolutely.
And you build it and it's the most incredible high technology.
It's the most important thing that you own.
Anyway, he just left it in his speeder.
I think it was in the glove box or behind the seats or something like that.
Anyway, so he just uses it to like whack down some doors and stuff.
And he's like, let's get in a speeder or get out of here.
And he's like, okay, Kia, C-3PO, you're going to monitor this.
I'm going to go through all the ducts and all the tunnels.
You've got to team up and you've got to get me through all this sort of stuff, right?
Schematics.
Yeah, there's some schematics.
There's a lot of...
Is that like a computer game?
Well, there's a lot of...
Like Pac-Man.
Yeah, there's a lot of flipping switches.
And he's sneaking through the... Like Pac-Man. Yeah, there's a lot of flipping switches.
There's a lot of... And he's sneaking through the tunnels and what have you.
And then all of a sudden, a droid shows up in the maintenance room.
And Kieran, C-3PO are like, uh...
And C-3PO is like, oh, I've got this.
We're the maintenance crew.
Hits him in the rock.
And the droid's like, no, no, I'm the maintenance crew. And he's like, well, we're the maintenance crew. Hits him in the rock. Well, the droid's like, no, no, I'm the maintenance crew.
And he's like, well, we're security?
And then the security droid shows up.
So he's like, so we're...
And then there's just a scuffle.
There's a scuffle.
People are mounting droids.
There's just some hurling about.
And then they do the classic move, I feel,
which is just get the two droids to run into each other
and they explode.
Of course.
Yeah.
What a well-built droid.
Exactly right.
Anyway, so Thor gets to Jor's prison cell
that he's being stored in, right?
Haircut gets to Thumb's prison cell.
I should have been calling it Haircut and Thumbs.
God damn it.
Thumbs belly bumps some droids out of the
way nice into a storage closet haircut uses his lightsaber to just cut thumbs bonds open that
looks like he does that real kind of loose yeah yeah exactly right yeah like for a weapon that
he's never wielded before that you need decades of training right exactly just swinging it about
yeah so anyway our crime lord's watching it all on the monitors. He's very unhappy.
That's a very 80s thing, isn't it?
Yeah, yeah.
Just like a villain watching a thing on a monitor happen.
Exactly.
And he's like, I'm going to get these guys.
Everybody, all my droids, go to sector five.
And then C-3PO does the unprecedented move of just going on the comm system
and going, actually, all droids to sector six.
And they're like, oh, okay.
And they just zip back, you know what I mean?
He's got some skills.
He's got some skills.
That's what I'm talking about, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then our gang lord activates all kinds of more security systems
and there's lasers going off kind of thing.
But then he's like, we're going to get these guys
before the lasers destroy the building.
Because he's not really thought this
through you know right and then uh more security droids show up in the in the like in the in the
maintenance hatch yep and c-3po pretends to be holding kia hostage very good which is a good
move but also i think a very cowardly move he's not a kidnapping droid no and exactly but he is
a user woman as a human shield droid okay you know what i mean right exactly right and they
get away from that right and then they're like all right what we're gonna need to do like we can't
escape because there's all these oh the the gang lord's like okay activate more droids i got some
flying like gunboat droids outside gonna activate those get them out there yeah get them out there
and then they're all they're all covering the all the escape routes right and then they're like how
do we how do we get out of this?
All right, what are we going to do?
We'll activate the tank droids.
Right.
The tank droids will go out and fight the flying droids.
Makes sense.
And they'll all just kill each other and we'll escape in ensuing madness.
That'll work, right?
Yeah.
And so they're all trapped.
They're under fire.
And then they're like, okay, C-3PO, you've got to activate the controls.
You've got to activate those tank droids, right they send him out there right pratfall nearly so he
goes out and there's this control panel and he doesn't understand it there's so many buttons
he can't operate he can't lift the can't lift the panel whatever sure and he finds it like there's
a turret gun and it's following back and forth because there's just turret guns just in this
building just blowing each blowing everybody up yeah i guess so yeah just slowly destroying the
building right and he's like oh i've got an. Yeah, just slowly destroying the building, right?
And he's like,
oh, I've got an idea.
And he just sort of,
he goes in front of the
panel and then he
leaps past it and
it just blows him up.
It just blows up the
panel and then
leaving him only with
one button behind
the panel that he
just presses and it
activates all the
tank droids, right?
Amazing.
And they head out
into the wilderness, the desert wilderness and the tank droids, right? Amazing. And they head out into the wilderness,
the desert wilderness,
and the tank droids and the sentry droids
and the bloody seeker orbs
and all this sort of stuff
are just destroying each other,
which is the perfect opportunity
to just fly out through the middle of them.
Beautiful.
Right in the line of fire.
Right in the line of fire, right?
Just straight through.
Yeah.
And so they get out there.
They finally make their escape
and we cut back to
our gang lord who's very oh he's crying he's crying he's openly weeping in his seat and he's
like oh i guess i guess relying on a whole bunch of droids that were programmed to kill everything
including themselves was not the goal was not was not the the smartest move to have ever made
right anyway they get out of there they've got their astromech droid.
They find themselves a ship.
They become the new crew of this ship, right?
Fantastic.
And they're like, okay, we're going to get out of there.
We're going to make our way to this new planet.
We're going to become the kings of bloody land speeder racing.
And then one more pratfall.
For good measure.
I can't remember the context of this one.
I assume he's just
surprised by something
or there's some
slight movement
in the ship
and then he just
falls out
absolutely
what do you reckon
of that
as a show
look you know what
as a kids show
I would have loved that
right yeah
it has it's moments
yeah
like there's some parts
you would have loved
the Stuart Copeland
opening theme song
I love that now
so certainly
I love the haircuts yep i love the the uh the
parallels to episode seven i've just got here there's a character that shows up later in the
series called gear kaibo rencha wow so this isn't a coincidence all of this stuff can't all be can
it and then yes you throw together so many random random syllables I was going to say, it's the random syllable show.
Just throw a whole bunch together and you've got yourself a whole amazing cast of characters.
Absolutely, yeah.
So was this a show that you would continue watching?
Ooh, maybe I'll give it one more.
I don't believe you.
No, right?
You saw right through me.
Great.
Good stuff, Mason.
Thank you.
We'll be back next week for another episode
of Caravan of Garbage
Star Wars Spectacular.
Now, if you're on
the audio version of this,
if you've gone to
the YouTube channel
that's linked below,
you're going to see
all the pictures
of all the things
that happened.
Even better,
in a way,
I feel.
Are you going to
redraw all of them
by hand?
I'll have to, yeah,
for copyright's sake.
Yeah, but that'll be
a good fun time.
And re-record that song. You could probably get Stuart Copeland. I reckon I could. Yeah, he lives in copyright's sake. Yeah, but that'll be a good fun time. And re-record that song.
He probably gets to it, Copeland.
I reckon I could.
Yeah, he lives in the next building.
The police are probably broken up at the moment.
They're always probably broken up.
Right.
Yeah.
But no, we appreciate you watching and or listening.
Thank you very much.
Like we said, we'll be back one more time.
Oh, yeah.
In preparation for Rogue One.
Oh, yeah.
Grab a jam, you guys.
We'll see you next week.
Bye.
Bye.
one. Oh, yeah.
Grab a jam, you guys. We'll see you next week.
Bye. Bye.
