This podcast was recorded during the 2023 WGA and SAG After Strikes.

Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike,

the content being covered here wouldn't exist.

Here I was sitting here last night thinking, episode 5 of Asoka, you can't top it.

So everything else is going to be like some sort of just icing on the cake from here on out.

Like, that's it. We've already peaked in Asoka.

And here I am now at 5.16am in the morning sitting here like an idiot

because in my opinion, this is just my opinion.

I thought this episode was even better than last week.

Alex, I'm right there with you.

So last week I think was incredible for delivering on a story we've been following for years

seeing essentially the Clone Wars in live action.

But this episode introduced so much new stuff to just tickle my imagination,

just capture my fancy, and it did just that.

I have not been more curious watching an episode of Star Wars TV in a really long time if that makes sense.

Yes. And it's honestly one of those things.

Just like you said, it introduced so much new lore, so much things,

so many possibilities of where we could be going in the future of Star Wars.

I feel like it sets up Star Wars in a tremendous way going forward where the movies can take some of these ideas

and go forward.

And that is such an exciting prospect.

And I know some people are like, well, that's what the show is doing.
