| 0:00.0 | If you're listening to this broadcast, you're a to the Resistance broadcast. I'm John. Welcome to this Monday show of TRB, which is our discussion show. |
| 0:37.9 | And we're going to talk about a movie that just turned 40 years old, Return of the Jedi, but a sort of what if situation. |
| 0:47.3 | So what if Luke Skywalker decided to fight Palpatine at the end of Return of the Jedi, instead of throwing his lightsaber away, |
| 0:56.3 | what would have happened in our opinions? |
| 0:58.9 | Of course, we know what actually happened in the movie, |
| 1:01.7 | but there's certainly open for interpretation |
| 1:04.8 | in terms of what would have happened had Luke decided to ignite that |

| 1:46.8 | Well, I plan to take it out of the box. I just haven't taken it out of the box yet. Yeah. |
| 1:51.1 | We did an unboxing, but there will be a further unboxing. What if we did an unboxing of boxes |
| 1:58.1 | and then we're going to unbox the items from the boxes. |
| 2:01.8 | Just Luke takes like a Force Effects lightsaber box and just throws it at Palpatine and knocks them over the railing. |
| 2:07.4 | I have to tell you, though, the box is really cool and especially the packaging for Hasbro in general, |
| 2:13.4 | like has gotten really awesome with the different colors. |
| 2:16.6 | And then they have this like really cool kind of edge to all their packaging that has like the character on the side. |
