Palpatine returned again.
spk_0
Any clothes that would maybe be around are just ugly.
spk_0
She's like, I'd rather, yeah, I'd rather just be obvious.
spk_0
I'll take my chances, thanks.
spk_0
We're gonna find out that Ezra left behind like a notewife and child.
spk_0
He fell deeply in love on Peridia.
spk_0
What's up everyone and welcome to last week in Star Wars.
spk_0
I'm Alex.
spk_0
I'm Molly.
spk_0
We got some little tidbits to talk about this last week about
spk_0
Asoka season 2, Bryce Dallas Howard at a convention confirmed that she is directing
spk_0
two episodes this season.
spk_0
I think that's true for all of the directors across the board.
spk_0
Yeah, it sounds like there will be eight episodes.
spk_0
This early in the game, we don't know if IMDB is completely accurate,
spk_0
but it does say that Bryce Dallas Howard has episodes four and five.
spk_0
I think that's kind of how a lot of these streaming shows have been
spk_0
working is that not necessarily they'll have their episodes back to back, but
spk_0
like Peyton Reed did two episodes of the Mandalorian season 2.
spk_0
And so yeah, this is a little different from how Asoka season 1 was,
spk_0
where it had more directors, I think.
spk_0
Yeah, I'm just glad that Bryce is gonna be doing two episodes in a season,
spk_0
which is the first time that's happened.
spk_0
We've loved all of her episodes that she's done so far.
spk_0
If I had to throw out a random guess about like what her episodes might be about,
spk_0
I would guess training with Asoka and Sabine.
spk_0
I don't think Fologna is gonna let anyone else touch like the Mordus Gods or the world between
spk_0
worlds or like the big stuff like that, but I wonder if her stuff will be more focused on Asoka,
spk_0
Sabine, what's going on in prettier?
spk_0
Yeah, I agree with you.
spk_0
I don't think like Anakin is gonna be in her episodes.
spk_0
I don't think the Mordus Gods will be whatever they're doing with Mordus and all the,
spk_0
I think Fologna is gonna save the big mystical stuff from the Clone Wars for his episodes,
spk_0
which again, this is like IMDB.
spk_0
We don't know if that's accurate or not, but it looks like he's got the premiere and the finale.
spk_0
That makes sense.
spk_0
Maybe the premiere will just go big and we'll go straight into Mordus.
spk_0
It might, I mean, I would love it if they finally showed us what Baylon's school is up to.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
It feel like they teased it all of Asoka season one.
spk_0
That was the last scene, wasn't it?
spk_0
Or one of the last scenes of Baylon?
spk_0
Right, him looking off into the distance standing on that statue.
spk_0
And Fologna put out a sketch of Sabine and Asoka in that same spot.
spk_0
So I feel like they're gonna be on his trail.
spk_0
There was a quote from that convention where Bryce said,
spk_0
I just finished shooting two episodes this summer for Asoka season two.
spk_0
It's so good.
spk_0
It's beautiful.
spk_0
It's thrilling.
spk_0
It's adventurous.
spk_0
It's romantic.
spk_0
It's all the things you wanted from an epic story.
spk_0
Sounds great.
spk_0
The word romantic got a lot of people speculating and hyped up online,
spk_0
specifically wondering if, like, love stories would be involved.
spk_0
I'm not necessarily taking the quote in that way.
spk_0
Romantic can mean a lot of things.
spk_0
It just means like emotional, big and sweeping an epic.
spk_0
Yeah, let's tap into our literary mind and maybe don't assume that the word romantic
spk_0
means there will be a relationship specifically.
spk_0
Yeah, it can mean that, but it doesn't have to mean that.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
I mean, if it does, I'm not trying to shut down any of the shippers out there.
spk_0
Like, if Shinsa being happens, what do they call Shins?
spk_0
No, Wolf Rin.
spk_0
Wolf Rin.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
If that happens, I'm all for it.
spk_0
I'm just not taking this quote to mean specifically that.
spk_0
I mean, that's the only thing close to a romantic relationship that I can think of for that show.
spk_0
We're going to find out that Ezra left behind like a naughty wife and child.
spk_0
He filled deeply in love on Peridia.
spk_0
Her skeleton crew episode was really, really good and it was more focused in
spk_0
close on like specific relationships between the characters.
spk_0
So that was my favorite episode, maybe of the season.
spk_0
That was the one where I went from like, I'm enjoying this to, oh, like, this is great.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
The kids, the cast, it really all came together for me.
spk_0
So I've loved that episode.
spk_0
I guess that's what made me think of like some smaller, more intimate moments between
spk_0
Asoka and Sabine.
spk_0
Yeah, even if it's a slower episode, in the sense that there's not a whole lot of action happening,
spk_0
but just like some dramatic talks and conversations between
spk_0
Thrawn and whoever he is hanging out with, the night sisters or
spk_0
Bailyn Skoll and Asoka once they catch up to him.
spk_0
I don't know, like, I feel like she could direct some really great
spk_0
tense conversations.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
But she also does action great too.
spk_0
So like, I'm sure it'll be a good mix, but the episode she did in season two of Mando
spk_0
and her book of Boba Fed episode, just all of those were bangers.
spk_0
What was her Boba Fed episode?
spk_0
The one with the Mandalorian in it.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
So yeah, the Mandalorian's going to somehow be on Peridia.
spk_0
Oh god.
spk_0
That's how it this is going to go down.
spk_0
So I'm actually in the middle of rereading the original Legends Thrawn trilogy.
spk_0
I'm in Dark Force Rising right now.
spk_0
And it's funny that they're just kind of finding out, oh my gosh,
spk_0
a grandadmirel is back.
spk_0
And they didn't know he was out there.
spk_0
And Backbar is like gearing up to fight him.
spk_0
And I'm like, I just happened to be like right at the spot
spk_0
today in the books where Asoka season two is probably going to head.
spk_0
Where the New Republic is like, uh oh, this is a, this is a big danger for us all.
spk_0
I guess I didn't realize that that went down in Legends.
spk_0
Like that Akbar actually fought Thrawn.
spk_0
Yeah, I mean, not in a fist fight.
spk_0
But no, I know.
spk_0
It's the way I put it.
spk_0
It kind of sounded like they're ships out and they go, right?
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
Right. Now there's a lot of drama going on in the New Republic in Legends
spk_0
where there's a Senator who is very similar to Ziono in Asoka that I feel like Ziono has kind of
spk_0
taken the spot of Borsk Faley in the botan.
spk_0
Yeah, I'm just enjoying rereading this and seeing little parallels where I'm like, oh,
spk_0
this could be that.
spk_0
I don't think Asoka and Faloni's movie are going to be like a one-to-one translation
spk_0
of the Thrawn trilogy, but I can definitely see the inspirations.
spk_0
Yeah, I'm just really excited to see what they do with the Night Sisters and how they come
spk_0
into the mix.
spk_0
I am too.
spk_0
And I already have some theories that they might be replacing the No-Gree in this situation where
spk_0
they are viewing Thrawn as an ally now, but they might turn on him.
spk_0
That's kind of the arc of the No-Gree in Legends.
spk_0
Are those the little guys?
spk_0
The little guys like Rook?
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Oh, yeah.
spk_0
Oh, no, I was thinking of the Salamiri.
spk_0
Oh, no, yeah.
spk_0
I don't think they're going to come into the story.
spk_0
So there's more than one Rook?
spk_0
Well, there's only one Rook, but he's a No-Gree and there are several of them.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
Yeah, that would be neat.
spk_0
So yeah, I'm wondering if the Night Sisters might take the place of them.
spk_0
There are some parallels where they're working with the Empire
spk_0
and they could kind of maybe connect the dots and be like, hold on.
spk_0
The Empire really spawned from the Sith and they massacred our people.
spk_0
And we've been under the impression that you are on our side
spk_0
and maybe they won't feel that way for long.
spk_0
Yeah, I'm sure Thrawn has been giving them promise after promise of what he's going to do
spk_0
to help them rebuild Dathomir and all that kind of stuff.
spk_0
And we know that's not going to happen.
spk_0
There was one shot in the season one finale where he opens fire on the temple
spk_0
as they're leaving and one of the great mothers gives him a look.
spk_0
And I definitely, I probably latched onto that harder than I should have,
spk_0
but I was like, they're not happy about that.
spk_0
And I feel like that could be some foreshadowing.
spk_0
I was going to twist our talk about the Thrawn trilogy and Asoka
spk_0
into some starfighter talk because people have been theorizing that Amy Adams
spk_0
will be playing Marajade.
spk_0
And yeah, I just, no, I don't think so.
spk_0
Or I should say, I hope not.
spk_0
Have we learned nothing, Star Wars fans?
spk_0
Remember when Jen Erso was revealed and she had brown hair and everyone was like,
spk_0
oh, it's Ray's mom.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Don't just take the hair color and attach it to a character.
spk_0
It seems like Amy Adams's character is going to be the mom to this kid.
spk_0
And we know the kid ends up with Ryan Gosling.
spk_0
And it's probably the movie is going to probably surround the two of them.
spk_0
We don't know how involved Amy Adams is going to be.
spk_0
I'm guessing that she's not like front and center main character status.
spk_0
So why would we bring Marajade into Canon for the first time in this big movie
spk_0
and have her not be front and center, front and center main character?
spk_0
Like she needs that kind of treatment if we're going to go there.
spk_0
I agree.
spk_0
Like I feel like this would just be kind of a let down.
spk_0
If at some point Amy Adams just is like, here's my son.
spk_0
By the way, my name's Marajade.
spk_0
I'd be like, yeah.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
And then she dies.
spk_0
This isn't how I wanted to see Mara.
spk_0
Yeah, I want to see her with main character energy.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
And because she's got such an interesting story and legends at least.
spk_0
And so if they're going to adapt that, don't make it a little tiny sideline plot
spk_0
for this movie about other stuff.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
It's kind of like Koran Horn being named in Obi-Wan Kenobi.
spk_0
He was just a kid.
spk_0
I did enjoy that.
spk_0
I love my X-wing books.
spk_0
But ultimately, all that amounts to his fan service.
spk_0
Right.
spk_0
I can't really sit here and be like, well, Koran Horn is canon.
spk_0
I mean, his name is, but like everything he did is canon.
spk_0
If Amy Adams played Marajade here, it seems like it would just be in name only
spk_0
and in hair color.
spk_0
I'd be like, what about the rest of your story?
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
We wouldn't see anything connecting her to Luke.
spk_0
So is that going to be Luke's child?
spk_0
Right. And if we found out all of that after the fact, that would just not feel good to me.
spk_0
Yeah. It just seems like too much to go into for this movie.
spk_0
So no, I do not think she's playing Marajade.
spk_0
I don't know where that rumor came from.
spk_0
I think a lot of it is wishful thinking, hopeful thinking.
spk_0
You know, people like Marajade, I do too, and want her to pop up.
spk_0
But if she's going to pop up, I want it to be a significant role.
spk_0
Of course, we might be wrong.
spk_0
Like maybe she will be front and center in this movie and we just don't know.
spk_0
Yeah, I guess we don't know.
spk_0
But you're right.
spk_0
Like if the people who are, you know, taking this rumor more seriously are doing it
spk_0
because they love the character of Marajade, just take a second and think,
spk_0
is this where you want to see her come in?
spk_0
As potentially like just the mother to some kid,
spk_0
and then she's not really in the movie much.
spk_0
Right. I'd rather see her during the most interesting parts of her life.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Moving into last week in canon, there was just one new comic that came out this past week.
spk_0
It was Star Wars number six.
spk_0
So when we last left Luke and company, they were fighting battle droids and they found
spk_0
life-saving clone trooper armor.
spk_0
Thank goodness.
spk_0
So they could have a fighting chance, I think is what Hans said.
spk_0
They fight their way out and then they're going back to the planet they just came from
spk_0
because there's like an uprising happening and they want to assist.
spk_0
Well, some of them want to assist.
spk_0
Hans is like, all right, let's get out of here.
spk_0
I will say I gave the clone trooper a lot of crap last time,
spk_0
where I was like, since when is clone trooper armor really protecting you,
spk_0
what clone got shot and said, thank goodness I had this armor on.
spk_0
I guess it's better than nothing.
spk_0
But I did like having Luke use that as a way to relate to his father.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
At this point, we don't know what his relationship is like with Anakin.
spk_0
Like, I don't get the sense they're having force ghost visits all the time.
spk_0
So he's probably still searching for ways to connect with the Jedi side of his father.
spk_0
Yeah, that part was really sweet because you got, you kind of get to see this inner thought
spk_0
process that he's having and he's like, I'm going to jump into this fight with him a light saber
spk_0
like this.
spk_0
Like my dad probably did.
spk_0
That's paraphrasing, but yeah, but they did have those frames side by side.
spk_0
And I was like, that's a nice touch.
spk_0
I did really enjoy that.
spk_0
And I think it added to the story in a good way.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
And I want to walk back some of what I said in the last issue where I was like,
spk_0
I feel like this is just happening for the vibes.
spk_0
I still think it was mostly happening for the vibes, but it was also a part of Luke and his character.
spk_0
And searching for that relationship.
spk_0
We got a little hide and seek action between Luke and one of the battle droids.
spk_0
Oh, and he was hiding under the tank.
spk_0
Yeah, that's more of a Yoda thing.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Remember that from the Clone Wars?
spk_0
There were a lot more lines for the battle droids, which is fun, I guess.
spk_0
Battle droids are always fun.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
There was another kind of like Luke saying, I'll hold them off and give you all a chance to escape
spk_0
and just like obviously Luke's not going to die.
spk_0
They kind of did that again.
spk_0
And this time it was with valence.
spk_0
And I was like, okay, at least we don't know his fate,
spk_0
but it still was like a, you'll be fine.
spk_0
Yeah, you can shoot laser beams out of your hands.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
You're fine.
spk_0
Oh, I also want to point out that I did really like the aesthetics of
spk_0
his Clone Trooper helmet and his glowing eye in the visor.
spk_0
Oh, yeah.
spk_0
I was like, that's cool.
spk_0
Those vibes are good.
spk_0
We got a couple more scenes with Leia and Maun.
spk_0
And one of them made me chuckle because Maun is kind of like, you know, she's very serious
spk_0
and she's kind of like something like, war is at our doorstep again.
spk_0
And I just imagined her saying it like again.
spk_0
Yeah, whenever we read or hear something like that, it reminds me of Sean of the Dead.
spk_0
The front door is open.
spk_0
Palpatine returned again.
spk_0
Poor Maun.
spk_0
She's been through so much.
spk_0
She's been through it.
spk_0
At the end, we find that Leia has a spy, an operative on this planet with the
spk_0
Negae uprising happening.
spk_0
She's a character from Star Wars uprising, the mobile game, which I'm not super familiar with,
spk_0
but I looked at her name.
spk_0
Although I did think it was kind of strange that I'm like, okay, you're a spy,
spk_0
but you're wearing just a straight up new Republic uniform.
spk_0
Not the best undercover outfit to have on.
spk_0
You know Star Wars characters only have one outfit?
spk_0
I know.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Her spy clothes were dirty.
spk_0
spk_0
So she's like, this is all I have.
spk_0
Or any clothes that would maybe be around or just ugly.
spk_0
She's like, I'd rather.
spk_0
Yeah, I'd rather just be obvious.
spk_0
I'll take my chances, thanks.
spk_0
Moving on to last week's questions, we took a couple from our Patreon.
spk_0
And speaking of all the Star Wars comics, Dan SW centralized,
spk_0
asks how we feel about all the current ongoing comic series seemingly stopping soon.
spk_0
Sometimes they put out these things called solicits for comics, and you can kind of see
spk_0
how many issues out each series is.
spk_0
I'm not super familiar with the comics industry, but I was looking into it.
spk_0
Legacy of Vader goes up to 11 issues.
spk_0
Jedi Knights goes up to 10.
spk_0
Star Wars goes up to 8, and Afra only goes up to 5.
spk_0
So we don't know if there's going to be more Afra after this month.
spk_0
And Star Wars might be wrapping up.
spk_0
And I don't know, it's strange.
spk_0
I didn't know any of that.
spk_0
Yeah, it does.
spk_0
I don't really, I don't keep up with like how many more issues there are of a thing.
spk_0
So yeah, that is interesting.
spk_0
I don't usually keep up with it either, but I'll see usually the covers will be revealed or something,
spk_0
or Star Wars.com will put something out.
spk_0
And yeah, you'll kind of get an idea of where things are headed,
spk_0
but not so much with Afra especially.
spk_0
I think it's kind of strange that there's only one issue that we know of coming.
spk_0
There's a chance we'll learn more at New York Comic Con.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
About where the state of the comics are going to be going,
spk_0
and whether or not we're going to get some new series.
spk_0
I think there's room for some brand new series.
spk_0
Maybe we do some tie-in series with Skeleton Crew,
spk_0
or we do some like sequel trilogy stuff that isn't about Kylo Ren.
spk_0
I still want my tack-or-ing-ed comic.
spk_0
I think that would be great.
spk_0
Sure.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
But yeah, for Afra, I mean, I will say the two Afra and Star Wars,
spk_0
those are the two that I'm not viving with as much.
spk_0
Afra has frustrated me.
spk_0
Star Wars has frustrated me.
spk_0
So I'm like, well, if they are going to, I don't know, reboot them.
spk_0
Again, it might not be the end of the world.
spk_0
I mean, they've been rebooted a lot.
spk_0
I feel like we need some new stuff.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
And I know that happens with comics a decent amount.
spk_0
And I think they have been a little more experimental
spk_0
in this current era of comics, which I do appreciate.
spk_0
It's a lot more variety.
spk_0
You got Jedi Knights.
spk_0
You got Legacy of Vader.
spk_0
And then some stories in between.
spk_0
I would like to, and you know, they're not all going to land.
spk_0
And you can try something else experimental.
spk_0
I have been mostly enjoying Jedi Knights.
spk_0
I like Legacy of Vader quite a bit.
spk_0
So I'm happy those two seem like they're going to continue on and have more issues on the way.
spk_0
Yeah, I'm really enjoying Legacy of Vader.
spk_0
So I'm looking forward to that.
spk_0
When's the next Tales of the Nightlands?
spk_0
That comes out this month.
spk_0
And then the third comes out next month.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
I know that was just like a three issue thing,
spk_0
but I'm still excited for those.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Star Wars always has many series coming out,
spk_0
but this is the first time it seems like there's a little bit of trepidation around
spk_0
their ongoing series.
spk_0
Like in 2020, we had Star Wars, Dr. Afra, Darth Vader, and bounty hunters.
spk_0
And all four of those went for like five years.
spk_0
Sounds like there's not a whole lot more to talk about then.
spk_0
Right. And people were excited for like Star Wars to go beyond return of the Jedi,
spk_0
but it seems like they don't quite know what direction they want things to go.
spk_0
So I don't know.
spk_0
I don't know what it means.
spk_0
And like you said, we might at New York Comic Con, I think, as next week,
spk_0
we might find out like, and here's the next several arcs for Dr. Afra,
spk_0
Chaos agent who knows.
spk_0
spk_0
So I'm going to be doing series.
spk_0
At least that's my hope.
spk_0
I also wonder if there could be like some big surprises down the line that they wanted to save
spk_0
for New York Comic Con.
spk_0
So they don't want the solicits going out because those can have spoilers in them.
spk_0
Yeah, that's true.
spk_0
So I don't know.
spk_0
So don't just assume that everything is like ending soon.
spk_0
Yeah, but I admit that it's strange and I admit that some of the comics are frustrating me.
spk_0
I'm just like racking my brain now for some ideas for like new stuff.
spk_0
I mentioned Skeleton Crew.
spk_0
We could do like a holiday special mini series that could be fun.
spk_0
Or do you think they could do some sort of Cal Kestice comic?
spk_0
Like in the same way that there are adaptation comics for the shows,
spk_0
could they adapt kind of the story of those games into comics?
spk_0
Well, I think they're doing a manga for Fallen Order.
spk_0
Oh, I think they announced that at celebration.
spk_0
But I mean, I would love a Cal Kestice
spk_0
in between Fallen Order and Survivor mini series or series.
spk_0
Or as we go towards Star Wars Jedi 3,
spk_0
we're going to talk about that in our next question as well.
spk_0
As we build towards that, a comic that takes place in between and builds up hype for that story.
spk_0
We could also get something along the same lines as like the Journey 2 series that we got
spk_0
for Force Awakens. We could get some little fun Mando Grougu stories in comics.
spk_0
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if they did something along those lines.
spk_0
I'd be down for that.
spk_0
Speaking of Star Wars Jedi 3, Sarah Black asks if EA's sale means anything for the game.
spk_0
I don't really think so for Star Wars.
spk_0
I don't think it's good news in general,
spk_0
but I don't think it's really going to affect the next Star Wars Jedi game.
spk_0
I hope not. I think you said the sale stuff isn't going to really take effect for a couple more years.
spk_0
From what I read, the sale won't be final until 2027.
spk_0
The first game came out in 2019, the second in 2023, four years difference.
spk_0
So fingers crossed that by 2027 or around there, the game will be done and put out.
spk_0
Yeah, I mean, I'm hoping that there was something in the contract about like,
spk_0
let us finish these things that we are working on currently,
spk_0
before the new people step in and start changing everything to AI.
spk_0
Yeah, there's a lot going on with this sale because Saudi Arabia is making the purchase
spk_0
and they're going to take the company from public to private.
spk_0
Jared Kushner is involved. Not if it sounds good.
spk_0
And it very much sounds like, have you heard about this whole comedy festival that's going on?
spk_0
Yeah, where like the comedians that performed there are getting drug through the dirt or something.
spk_0
Well, yeah, I mean, they took a boatload of money to go perform for a bad regime.
spk_0
And it's kind of like Saudi Arabia is being like, no, we're fun.
spk_0
Like we have, look at all these comedians making people laugh.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
This might be part of that. I don't know.
spk_0
Like I'm not going to pretend to be an expert on all of those politics or about the gaming
spk_0
industry, but coming off the heels of this comedy festival and then being like, also Saudi Arabia
spk_0
is buying EA. It certainly, I guess this is how it would more directly affect Star Wars.
spk_0
I'm not expecting much in the way of Star Wars after Jedi 3.
spk_0
Not for me. Not for me.
spk_0
No, and they don't have exclusivity anymore, which is great.
spk_0
Thank goodness.
spk_0
That was good news before this all happened.
spk_0
If we can just squeak out with Jedi 3 and have it be good, then it's kind of like,
spk_0
all right, well, as far as Star Wars goes, we might just be done with EA.
spk_0
Yeah. And we can all move on.
spk_0
I think that's likely.
spk_0
I know EA also does like the Sims and a bunch of other video games, but we aren't super
spk_0
into those particular games, so I'm sure it will still affect the gaming community heavily.
spk_0
For sure. I mean, like the Sims could be a place where Saudi Arabia and propaganda gets put.
spk_0
Or like, the Sims is like notoriously gay. Like, it's got a bunch of fun gay stuff in it,
spk_0
and that's probably going to go away, and that sucks.
spk_0
Yeah. People have been talking about Mass Effect and Bioware, and they put in their games the
spk_0
ability to have same sex romances and stuff, and Saudi Arabia probably won't be chill with that.
spk_0
Yeah. That's, that was not good news.
spk_0
Like, I could see, like, if they take over and just make everything stupid and boring in vanilla,
spk_0
then I could see someone somewhere else.
spk_0
Like, I'm just going to make my own version of the Sims, and maybe all the gaming community will
spk_0
kind of like flock to something else that's similar, because it'll really be devastating to a lot
spk_0
of people if they just run that game into the ground.
spk_0
It's also possible that they might sell off some of those, like they could sell the Sims to
spk_0
another studio, same with Bioware, who knows what's going to happen.
spk_0
I'm hesitant to even talk about the gaming industry, because I really don't keep up with that
spk_0
stuff very well. Like, I was reading about the sale, and I kept reading it, and I was like,
spk_0
this doesn't make any sense to me. Like, I can't wrap my brain around it.
spk_0
Well, it's like the gaming industry is already a mess with layoffs like every other day.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
And now this is happening. And like Andrew Wilson's like, we're using AI for our games.
spk_0
It's like, stop. Just everything sounds bad.
spk_0
But to end on a hopeful note, hopefully, like we said, Jedi 3 is already well in development.
spk_0
Hopefully, they've got a story in mind already, and they've got a team like solidified ready to go
spk_0
to finish the game before these other companies come in and start changing things.
spk_0
Yeah, it's been two years since Survivor. I think it's well underway.
spk_0
I'm not concerned with Jedi 3 right now, but you never know. I mean, I don't know what that team
spk_0
looks like. They may have paired it down to two people and said, use AI for the rest.
spk_0
I hope that's not the case.
spk_0
But yeah, I mean, the whole future of Star Wars gaming is really up in the air because I mean,
spk_0
Outlaws was fun. A lot of people really loved it, but it didn't do as well as they hoped.
spk_0
A lot of people just like dog piled on that game for next to no reason when it came out. So
spk_0
who knows what's going to happen next with Star Wars video games?
spk_0
We've got zero company on the way should be out. I think it's in 2026.
spk_0
So there are some games on the way and there's I'm sure like some non EA stuff. I think
spk_0
Skydance Studios has a game from Amy Henig. I can't remember them all off the top of my head, but yeah.
spk_0
I'm glad EA is not the exclusive Star Wars video game creator now.
spk_0
But that's it for last week in Star Wars. Next week, we're going to be covering Beyond Victory.
spk_0
That's a new video game. Tides of Terror issue two and hunt for the Falcon issue two.
