hey we're recording the podcast I don't hear it good morning to you wherever you are because it is for May 4th, 2020 6.

0:27.0

My name is Bernie Burns.

0:30.1

Sitting right over there, she refuses to celebrate the holiday.

0:33.2

It's actually Burns.

0:33.9

Say how to ask everybody.

0:35.2

Everyone else is celebrating the holiday.

0:37.2

I'm going to be a rebel and just treat it like a day. Oh, look at you did, though. You called yourself a rebel on May the 4th. Go figure. Okay, fair enough. Ashley, I said, do you want to do anything for Star Wars? She goes, no, everyone's going to be doing Star Wars stuff today because it's May the 4th. Well, it's like on, you know, like if we were to drop, like, it's going to be May on May 1st or something like that. You know, it's like there are things where it's like everyone else has already got that sort of. They're handling it for us. We don't need to do it. May the 4th isn't an actual holiday, right? It's not a real holiday. Well, no, but almost... We're actually off school, but I don't think it's because of that. No, no, none of a...

1:12.8

We celebrate Star Wars Day in this... It's not a real holiday. Well, no, but we're actually off school, but I don't think it's because of that.

1:11.3

No, no, none of it. We celebrate Star Wars Day in this, in this county. I heard it's actually based on like a, actually a really not well-known battle on Alderon that they don't even celebrate there. That's what I heard about me of the fourth. It's not even a big deal. Why are they rolling out tacos? It's just so you'll drink blue milk.

1:31.2

Do you know, what I heard about me of the fourth. It's not even a big deal. Why are they rolling out tacos? It's just so you'll drink blue milk.

1:31.3

Did you watch Last Jedi? Yeah. Okay. That's the one I can't reconcile, was the weird

1:36.7

scene about like the blue milk and the origin of the blue milk. I think, and this is, I don't

1:41.9

think, like a hot take. We're doing Star Wars.

1:44.3

By any means, I know, this was an accident.

1:46.8

Is that the real weakness with the sequel trilogy is that it wasn't planned out.

1:53.5

Yes.

1:54.1

You can, it is very clear from movie to movie and director to director that it didn't have a cohesive story planned out. They were like, they were like, I don't know, just make it cool. Um, and everyone started like, they're like, well, I'm going to go in this direction, but no, I want to go in this direction. But then like, I'm going to try to take it back in this direction. And there was not a cohesive story being told, which, you know, obviously that's going to weaken any

2:19.0

narrative. Also, you were going up against a global fan base that had a head canon for where

2:23.5

everything went after the original trilogy, right? And it did involve many of those characters in any

2:29.6

way whatsoever. Yeah. So, you know, I don't think that we need to dwell too much on the weaknesses of the sequel trilogy. For all we know in 20 years, it's, it's going to be beloved of a new generation. Yeah, Kylo Ren was the closest thing to like what fans were expecting, like some kind of offspring, you know, next generation kind of a thing, you know, from the original trilogy heroes. But I think that's about the only thing that hit on anything. I just think, is there more than one family in this universe? No, yeah, that's it. It's just, you know, you go back in time. It's like just take out one or two of them. And that's like everybody's fine. Everybody's living in peace. Like Star Wars would be a much different thing if they had time travelers. They're like, we don't, we're not going back for baby Hitler, all right. We just need to like nip these guys in the butt and we're sitting. See those two twins, punt them into the sun. That's it. And then the entire trajectory of history will be different. Yeah, go to Kaigonjin and go, hey, uh, maybe don't go to that desert planet. Just don't do that. There's no reason to go there.
