| 0:40.2 | gonna have a little fun on this episode with a hypothetical think about star wars when george lucas made |
| 0:47.0 | the movie was he even thinking sequels was he planning ahead or did he just get lucky by not |
| 0:53.7 | killing doth vader well what if he killed Darth Vader? |
| 0:57.7 | Considering the rest of that movie pretty much tied with a bow and wraps things up nicely if you just leave it as itself. |
| 1:03.8 | So we're going to have fun talking about what George Lucas would do if he killed Darth Vader and then wanted to make sequels because Star Wars made a |
| 1:11.8 | gajillion dollars. So we're going to have some fun talking about that. Guys, how's it going? |
