| 0:00.0 | The following is a presentation of the 4th Center podcast feed. |
| 0:14.4 | From the center of the galaxy, this is the 4th Center podcast feed and this particular episode is |
| 0:20.0 | one of our deep dives, our boxed tank of talk. We are going to sink in and see if we have a |
| 0:25.9 | flashback. I'm Joseph Scripchak. I'm Ken Napsak. So, so ready to have a flashback to weird |
| 0:32.8 | stage, but I think I'm ready. He's going to be fun. Absolutely. We are embarking on a new journey. |
| 0:40.0 | We had kind of a fun behind-the-scenes process where sometimes we want to talk about a topic and |
| 0:44.8 | then I write up some questions or Ken writes up some questions we both do together. In this particular |

| 1:37.4 | the prequel and like, oh no, those episodes will each be seven hours long. So that's what we're |
| 1:43.0 | doing here today. Any thoughts on that Ken? No, this is a great series. So I have to embark on it |
| 1:49.0 | on this lightsaber journey. But yeah, initially, I think I was on the like, like, let's look at |
| 1:53.8 | every single lightsaber fight in Star Wars. Let's analyze it in that four-centre way. Then I |
| 1:58.2 | realized at some point we'd have to come to the Clone Wars series and despite just doing the |
