🛸 Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run Mandalorian Update!
We got to attend the special media event at Disneyland to test out the newly updated attraction multiple times—enough to make us dizzy! The ride features brand-new experiences, missions, and roles tied directly to Mando and Grogu.
More Control: Pilots and engineers now get to choose their paths and destinations (including Bespin, Endor, Coruscant, and starting on Tatooine!).
Better Gameplay: Disney has smoothed out the ride play. If you have a bad pilot, you won’t spend the whole time dragging against a wall. It's way more accessible, smoother, and less motion-sickness inducing!
Easter Eggs: The Imagineers we interviewed are "tickled pink" waiting for eagle-eyed fans to discover all the hidden secrets.

Welcome to Geeks Corner. I'm Mr. Daps.
0:19
>> I'm the artist formerly known as Katie.
0:21
>> And did you know that Zeb and his
0:23
species are directly based on Star Wars
0:26
artist Ralph Aquar's mquaries? I can
0:28
speak. Original unused concept art for
0:30
Chewbacca and the Wookies.
0:32
>> You know, I actually did know that.
0:34
>> You did as of two minutes ago.
0:37
>> And you can't prove otherwise.
0:42
>> That was It was great. No, I I do I do
0:44
really like that. Um and I will say once
0:46
again because Chewbacca and the Wiki is
0:48
a killer band name.
0:50
>> There you go. Anyway, uh you should go
0:52
into the the chat, tell us what uh what
0:56
your ideal Star Wars band name would be.
0:58
Um throw out Finger Dan and the Moal
1:01
Nodes. Give me a Chewbacca and the
1:03
Wookiesesque
1:05
uh type band. Okay, give me one of
1:07
those.
1:08
>> There you go.
1:08
>> Also, subscribe wherever you're
1:10
watching. Also, go to dapsehq.com. We've
1:12
got a fun community going on over there.
1:14
There's a post show to this show. And
1:16
that is not the only thing. I tell you
1:18
guys that because you're here, but like
1:20
there's some really cool stuff over
1:22
there. So
1:23
>> there there's new stuff tonight.
1:24
>> There's new stuff tonight.
1:25
>> Yes.
1:25
>> So go check it out.
1:26
>> Also, head on over to
1:27
chalkwalk.org/daptsmagic.
1:29
You can join our team even if you can't
1:31
walk with us on August 2nd. Join the
1:34
team anyway because you can be what they
1:36
call a sleeping bear, which means you're
1:38
on the team, you're still raising funds,
1:40
but you're just not waking up at 3 in
1:41
the morning. We'd love to have you walk
1:43
with us, but you know, not everybody
1:45
wants to get up at 4 in the morning. And
1:47
and that's okay. Maybe we get there at
1:49
4. I don't know.
1:49
>> We get there at four.
1:50
>> It's earlier now than it used to be, but
1:53
uh that's okay. That's okay because it's
1:55
for a great cause. We have a lot of fun.
1:57
You see a lot of characters, a lot of
1:58
cool people. And um and we we can have
2:01
fun doing all this together. So
2:03
hopefully you can join us. If not, just
2:05
head on over there and support us and
2:06
that'd be great. Or just share this and
2:08
that that would be also equally great.
2:11
All right, it has been a fantastic week
2:13
for Star Wars fans. There has been so
2:16
much happening. We do have one other
2:18
thing we should mention though.
2:19
>> What?
2:20
>> We've brought something back to Dap's
2:22
Magic. We don't have a graphic for this.
2:23
I should have made one, but we have
2:25
brought back the caption of the week.
2:27
>> Oh, yes. Yes. Yes.
2:28
>> And the caption of the week is great
2:30
because what we do is we find a random
2:31
picture, we post it, people make a
2:34
caption for it,
2:35
>> and then you just click on the one that
2:37
you like, and whichever one gets the
2:39
most likes becomes the official caption
2:40
of that week. and it's it goes down in
2:43
infamy with that picture. It gets added
2:46
to the picture and it's it's the caption
2:47
of the week. So, uh we have the first
2:49
one up on dapsmagic.com. It's also in
2:52
the show notes of this show so you can
2:55
find it very easily. Uh head on over,
2:57
write something funny, write something
2:59
cute, something family friendly, please.
3:02
And uh and then also vote for your
3:03
favorite caption of the week. I think we
3:05
have a couple already up there, but
3:06
we'll have a new one up this weekend
3:08
that you won't want to miss. And uh I
3:10
think they're going to go up on
3:11
Saturdays is what it's looking like. We
3:13
will see. Anyway, I hope you have fun
3:16
with that as well. Now we can get into
3:18
Star Wars, which caption of the week is
3:21
Star Wars, this current one. This last
3:24
week, we saw the Millennium Falcon
3:27
Smuggler Run get updated with
3:31
new missions and new experiences and new
3:34
roles for um basically everybody
3:38
>> new jobs
3:39
>> all related to The Mandalorian and Grou.
3:41
>> Yeah.
3:41
>> And and the original series like it's
3:44
Yes.
3:44
>> There's actually it's it connects a lot
3:46
of different things at different levels.
3:48
And uh we were at the media event at
3:50
Disneyland on Wednesday and were able to
3:53
experience it multiple times. We won't
3:54
say how many, but I will say enough to
3:57
make us dizzy and it takes over five. Um
4:00
at least for me,
4:04
>> true story.
4:06
Anyway, we have experienced the trip to
4:08
Bestin. We have experienced the trip to
4:10
Endor. We have experienced the trip to
4:13
Curissant. We've also experienced Grou
4:15
mode. We also went both left and right,
4:20
which I don't know if Katie even
4:21
realized this, but we inadvertently went
4:25
right when you could go left and left
4:27
when you could go right at the beginning
4:28
of the of the uh
4:31
the mission, which is a lot of fun. And
4:34
uh this this definitely has more options
4:38
than previous because not only do you
4:40
get to choose if you're going left or
4:41
right, which the pilot chooses,
4:44
>> one of the engineers gets to choose
4:45
which planet you blast off to and and
4:48
head from hyper or head into hyperspace
4:50
to from Tatooine. What did you think of
4:53
the new version? And you take care of of
4:55
Grou.
4:55
>> Obviously, you take care of Grou.
4:57
>> Always take care of Grou. Uh, first of
4:59
all, I I was a fan of the idea of
5:03
Millennium Falcon Smugglers Run.
5:05
>> Um, and then I did it probably not even
5:09
as many times as I've done uh uh what's
5:12
the new version called? Smuggler.
5:14
Smugglers Run Mando and Grou, right? I
5:16
don't know.
5:16
>> Still Millennium Falcon.
5:18
>> Yes. But there's now like a subtitle.
5:19
>> Just say the updated version.
5:20
>> The updated version. Um, and it it got a
5:25
little stale to me if I'm being
5:27
completely honest. It was like, okay,
5:28
it's always, you know, there was the uh
5:31
infamous third freight that people were
5:35
like, oh, could you get it or not? Um,
5:37
but for the most part, it was like,
5:39
okay, you either get one or you get two.
5:40
And um this you have the option of like
5:44
if you want to bring back things for
5:46
Hondo, you can. But we're on a mission
5:50
um to get these traders.
5:53
Um,
5:55
it had
5:57
>> there wasn't a subtitle. That was just
5:59
something they put on the parks blog.
6:00
>> Oh,
6:01
>> it I was going to keep going.
6:03
>> Anyway, keep going.
6:04
>> Anyh who, I'm confused, guys. Um,
6:06
>> branding can be hard sometimes.
6:08
>> There. Yeah, it is. Uh, especially when
6:11
you love a colon and then a m dash and
6:13
then a, you know. Anyho,
6:16
>> um, I love this. I think it's really
6:18
fun. Um, I think that the three planets
6:20
that they chose, also you start on
6:23
Tatooine now, which is also really fun.
6:26
Um,
6:27
>> and there's still an element of grabbing
6:29
things
6:30
>> if you want to.
6:30
>> They're not they're not the,
6:32
>> you know, the crates like before, but
6:34
you still can use the tractor beam to
6:36
grab things, which was kind of fun.
6:38
>> Um, it does, it feels more interactive.
6:41
It does feel like you have more of a say
6:43
in what's going on because you do have
6:45
more of a say in what's going on. Um, I
6:48
personally really liked um when Grou
6:51
popped up on the screen like this. I was
6:54
like, "Oh my god, my son." Except he's
6:56
not my son. I would never do that to Den
6:57
Jiren. I'm so sorry. Um, it's a good
7:01
Okay, you're making that face. Uh, I'm
7:03
just listening.
7:03
>> That was the I'm staring off into space.
7:05
Um, space much like Star Wars.
7:09
>> It's really fun. I had a really good
7:11
time. I like it. Would I wait in line?
7:16
No.
7:16
>> So, the longest I saw the line get on
7:18
Friday was 50 minutes and that was
7:22
before I think the rush of the evening
7:24
happened. So, I don't know what happened
7:25
then. I didn't follow that track or I
7:27
didn't track that that closely. But when
7:29
we went back on Sunday, it was again at
7:31
30 to 20 minutes. Like 20 to 30 minutes.
7:33
>> 20 minutes I would do,
7:34
>> which I think even 30 I would do because
7:36
I don't think it was actually 30. Like
7:37
looking at the line, I was like I don't
7:39
know. Um I think 30 is fine because that
7:41
Q is not a bad queue. If you're inside,
7:44
I'm happy. Like if you're if you're
7:47
stretched outside, then maybe
7:50
>> I wouldn't wait as long. But
7:52
>> I think once you've made it inside the
7:54
station like or or the spaceport,
7:57
whatever that's supposed to be, um I'm
7:59
happy because there's lots to look at.
8:02
There's lots to listen to. It's air
8:03
conditioned.
8:04
>> Question.
8:05
>> Yeah.
8:05
>> Has the Honda pre-show been updated at
8:07
all?
8:07
>> Yes.
8:08
>> Oh,
8:08
>> yes. Two weeks ago.
8:10
>> Before they updated the ride, they
8:12
simplified the attraction. um what
8:15
Hondao did and made it more generic for
8:17
the last week of the original version.
8:19
>> Oh,
8:20
>> yep. Well,
8:22
>> they did it in Florida first and they
8:23
did it here.
8:24
>> Oh, yep. Surprise. Uh it's not it's it's
8:30
actually really smart the way they did
8:32
it because I do think it sets things up
8:35
for if they want to do future updates,
8:38
stay when the star fighter comes out or
8:40
like whatever. Because really what they
8:42
did with this is what they've been doing
8:44
for um Star Tours.
8:46
>> Mhm.
8:47
>> Where the update came to this attraction
8:48
instead of Star Tours getting new
8:50
destinations and new character moments
8:52
or whatever, which I thought was great.
8:54
Like it was fun.
8:54
>> I will say I like this better because
8:58
you have some say in where you go
9:00
instead of like
9:01
>> Oh, yeah. I wasn't making a comparison.
9:02
I was just saying
9:03
>> No, no, I was
9:03
>> Yeah,
9:05
>> I was just having a conversation. I
9:06
thought that's what the show is about.
9:09
Um,
9:10
anyway, I liked it. Now it's my turn to
9:14
say what I thought about. Okay. Um, but
9:16
I liked it. I thought it was very fun. I
9:18
thought the the secondary planets or
9:21
whatever we went to, it was interesting.
9:23
And I feel like there was more to
9:24
explore there that we didn't based on if
9:27
we went different directions. And um I
9:30
like too that if you do certain things
9:33
I'm not going to spoil it, but if you do
9:36
certain things, there's other things
9:37
that could happen related to other
9:39
stories or you might recognize thing
9:41
like Easter eggs. That's what I'm
9:43
getting at. Lots of Easter eggs,
9:45
including if things happen, lead to
9:47
other things. And I'll just leave that
9:49
open for people to discover and um
9:52
explore because I think there's a couple
9:54
of them that are very, very fun.
9:57
Um,
9:58
>> well, they're all fun, but some are
10:00
very, very fun. Yes.
10:01
>> Like, some of them just go the extra
10:03
mile. Um, we also got to talk to a
10:05
couple Imagineers. Well, one Imagineer
10:07
and one person from Disney Live
10:09
Entertainment about the updates to
10:11
Millennium Falcon Smugglers Run and the
10:13
land in general. And that was very cool,
10:16
too, just because you hear the passion
10:18
and and it's really it's like if we just
10:21
got to play Star Wars and make really
10:23
cool things happen and and they actually
10:26
do and and then you know their dreams
10:29
become the realities that we get to live
10:31
and experience and I thought that was a
10:33
very fun part of um the interviews. Did
10:35
you have anything that popped out from
10:37
the interviews for you? Uh, no. I what
10:39
actually what uh popped out to me was
10:42
the fact that they were all just so
10:43
excited
10:44
>> about like Star Wars fans getting to do
10:48
these things.
10:49
>> Like we we talked about both the
10:51
expanded timeline and we talked about
10:52
the updates to Smuggler's Run and they
10:56
were just so like tickled pink about the
11:00
fact that people now get to experience
11:01
this really fun thing that they love
11:04
because they love Star Wars. Um, and I I
11:07
think that there is absolutely a
11:08
difference when someone is very
11:10
passionate about something and they're
11:11
working on it. You can tell um it almost
11:14
felt like they are waiting for people to
11:18
discover some of the Easter eggs that
11:20
they put in or
11:22
>> um some of the little hidden surprises.
11:23
They're waiting for that like really
11:24
eagle-eyed person. Um cuz I mean that's
11:26
half the fun is like I'm going to hide
11:28
this here.
11:29
>> We're not going to post them because I
11:30
do think they are things that you should
11:31
get to cover. Like if Disney posts them,
11:33
we will reshare them. But personally, I
11:36
am much more of a fan of people just
11:38
discovering these things or discovering
11:40
how to do these things and and things
11:42
like that. Um, just because I think it
11:43
enriches the environment and the
11:45
experience that much more. Um,
11:48
the other like I thought the other part
11:50
that was interesting with all of this
11:52
was um the
11:57
I don't want to say the speed of the
11:58
attraction because I'm sure we're going
12:01
technically the same speed, but
12:05
they have updated the game play or the
12:08
ride play or whatever you want to call
12:09
it for Millennium Falcon. So you're not
12:12
crashing and dragging if you have a bad
12:14
pilot the entire time. And instead, yes,
12:17
you can still crash. Yes, you can cause
12:19
damage. Yes, the shocks and you know,
12:21
the sparks, whatever happened at the
12:24
end, but you're not spending the whole
12:27
time like looking at a wall dragging and
12:29
making the really loud noise and slowing
12:31
the ship down. instead it like you hit
12:34
it, but things just kind of keep you a
12:36
little bit more centered, which I think
12:37
is more accessible for all ages of of
12:40
pilots. Probably will also make it less
12:43
miserable for those people that go on
12:44
and there's a four-year-old that's in
12:46
the pilot seat. And sometimes I've heard
12:49
people get very upset about this where
12:51
it's like, oh, like we didn't really get
12:54
to experience the attraction because we
12:55
were crashing the whole time. And and
12:57
this kind of mitigates that a little
12:59
bit. And um and I thought they did a
13:01
really nice job with that in making it
13:03
more accessible, more playable, and and
13:05
making it more fun as opposed to like
13:09
it's still realistic,
13:10
>> but it's not as like it's just at a at a
13:14
more
13:15
everybody can do it and succeed, which I
13:17
think is is a better way to do it.
13:19
>> I will say to the updates, um we did go
13:22
on it a number of times,
13:24
>> once or twice,
13:25
>> with not many a break in between. I did
13:29
not start feeling a little woozy until
13:32
we were past five. And if you guys know
13:36
anything about me, which you probably
13:37
don't, um I can't do Star Tours once.
13:42
>> Star Tours once knocks me out for like a
13:45
few hours. Um motion sims are not really
13:48
my jam. I didn't take any drama um when
13:52
we did the attraction and I was good.
13:55
Yeah,
13:55
>> it it didn't feel as bumpy, jumpy.
14:00
>> Yeah. Anyway, two thumbs up for this. I
14:02
think they did a great job. I hope they
14:04
do more updates in the future. Like I
14:06
think that just would add more to what
14:09
can happen and keeps it ever from
14:11
getting stagnant. And uh that's going to
14:13
be very fun to see what the Millennium
14:15
Falcon does in the future. Another thing
14:17
that is in Star Wars Galaxy's Edge that
14:19
is a happy return, I think, is the BDX
14:22
droids. And I came in early on Friday
14:25
morning to catch their very first
14:27
appearance. And you get to see the first
14:29
minute or two or three. I don't remember
14:31
how long I made this. Uh of the droids
14:34
returning to Batu.
14:49
Hello.
15:17
You're a
15:26
Wow.
16:00
Hey you three, did you hear that
16:02
transport?
16:07
This might be a great opportunity to
16:08
test your sensory receptors, visual,
16:11
oral, and tactile mode.
16:19
>> Adjust your scanners overhead as the
16:20
craft flies by
16:35
Good. It's coming back the other way.
16:38
Keep tracking.
16:48
>> Uh, wreck, I think we need to do a reset
16:51
on your sensors.
17:04
Red, cool your rotors. Just do it,
17:06
Greck.
17:21
>> All good, Gra.
17:28
Great. Here's another flyby.
17:42
>> Looking good. You're all clear for
17:45
operation. I'll check in soon.
17:56
Hey droids, all these off-worlders today
17:58
mean new business, so play nice. An off
18:02
world.
18:04
Yeah, you. Hands off the droid.
18:16
>> They're very cute.
18:18
>> Greg is amazing.
18:19
>> I love them so much. when they did their
18:21
little synchronized dance. Like, are you
18:24
kidding me?
18:27
>> I do I I will say BDroids are such a
18:30
delight. You can see how much they've
18:32
evolved in my opinion as they've taken
18:35
adventures onto cruise line and to
18:38
>> even their looks are a little bit
18:39
different.
18:40
>> Yeah. Um I do like that they have jobs,
18:45
so to speak, now
18:46
>> they have jobs, they have tasks. like
18:48
they are they are on planet to do
18:50
something.
18:51
>> Um
18:52
>> and they
18:54
whereas as traditionally they kind of
18:56
were just demonstrating I guess was a
18:59
good word. They actually have things
19:01
that happen during their half hour out.
19:03
>> Yes.
19:04
>> And and they're worth
19:05
>> watching the entire thing or coming at
19:07
different times to catch different parts
19:09
of their visit to uh see what they're
19:11
doing. Um because the scanning like that
19:14
is not the only thing they do during the
19:15
course of their half hour, which I
19:16
thought was very fun. and things of
19:18
course because it's it's Star Wars
19:21
things ultimately or eventually have a
19:24
problem and may go wrong and um no I
19:27
think they're great. I think their
19:28
personalities keep getting bigger and
19:30
bigger. I liked that um they're
19:33
completely looking autonomous now like
19:36
they and and I like how they set it up
19:39
so it's in world and also don't touch
19:42
them. I also like that it's like, okay,
19:47
Greck, he's the green one. Oscar, he's
19:50
the orange one. What's the red one's
19:53
name, you ask? Red.
19:55
>> Mhm.
19:57
>> They said, "Yeah."
19:58
>> I don't know. It's fun.
19:59
>> Did it right the first time?
20:00
>> Yeah, it's great. Uh yeah, but I think
20:02
they're they're keep they keep getting
20:04
better and better every time we see
20:05
them. I think the last time I guess G or
20:08
uh Tokyo Disneyland was the last time
20:10
really saw them, but um we've seen them
20:13
basically since the first time they
20:15
arrived at Galaxy's Edge three years
20:17
ago. And it's been fun to watch how they
20:19
evolve, watch how they uh move
20:21
differently,
20:23
interact differently, continue to
20:25
develop those those characters because
20:27
initially they're like, "Yeah, they all
20:28
have their own characters." And you
20:30
could kind of see it, but it wasn't as
20:32
apparent as it is now. It's like, "Oh,
20:33
that's the one with the temper. that's
20:35
the one that messes up, you know, like
20:37
this one's the one that tends to get
20:38
things right, whatever. Um, and they're
20:40
like their eye things turn red when they
20:43
get mad, which is very fun to watch.
20:44
>> A little scary, that's fine.
20:46
>> But that's not the only new thing at
20:48
Star Wars Galaxy's Edge. Uh, there's
20:50
another new experience for those with
20:52
younglings and and that is they can
20:54
build a lightsaber for free. They can't
20:56
take it home, but they can build it for
20:58
free. And uh if they do want to take it
21:00
home, they can buy it for $250, which
21:03
tracks. Um but I think this is such a
21:06
great thing to do when especially when
21:07
they're focusing on kids rule summer,
21:09
which we'll talk more about next next
21:10
week. But um I like the fact that
21:14
they're creating these opportunities
21:17
so that the the price tag isn't a
21:20
limiting factor. Is it could it be an
21:22
inconvenience for families? Absolutely.
21:24
Like if the kids like, "Oh, I really
21:26
like this. now I want this or whatever,
21:29
but um I don't think my family would
21:31
have been able to afford a lightsaber
21:33
when I was a kid. And so that would have
21:35
been off the table. And this makes the
21:37
land more accessible, more immersive,
21:39
more fun. Um as do the droids, as do
21:42
having the characters out and about and
21:44
Darth Vader, you know, like all of this.
21:45
And and I feel like in some ways Star
21:49
Wars Galaxy's Edge is just now really
21:51
coming into what it was promised
21:54
seven years ago. Six years, seven years
21:56
ago. Yeah. And and we're actually seeing
21:58
droids going around. You know, we saw in
22:00
the same days we saw the droids or the
22:02
BDX droids, we saw R2-D2 and we saw Leia
22:06
and we saw Darth Vader and the
22:08
Stormtroopers and Luke. Um I don't think
22:10
we saw Han, but um but it's great. Like
22:13
I think it's finally becoming a living,
22:15
breathing
22:17
planet in the Star Wars universe. It's a
22:19
lot of fun. Do you have anything else to
22:20
add on on lightsabers?
22:22
>> Uh I I think this is an incredible
22:24
experience and I think the more people
22:25
that can experience it, the better. I've
22:27
also seen many a family go don't even go
22:30
in that direction because that is a
22:32
thing that costs money.
22:34
>> Um and I I do firmly believe that
22:36
Disneyland is for everybody. Um, and
22:40
some of some things should not be
22:42
paywalled. Um, and so I think that it's
22:46
super special. Just like I cried at the
22:49
lightsaber experience because they do
22:51
such an incredible job. Um, and the land
22:55
is truly living, breathing. Um, even if
22:59
a kid doesn't take a lightsaber home,
23:00
they're going to go home be like,
23:01
"Remember when I got to do that thing?"
23:04
I got to pick the color
23:06
and then I went
23:08
>> the experience itself
23:11
of the $250, you know, like that's such
23:13
a great thing,
23:14
>> but it's the Disneyland experience of
23:16
like and then I built a lightsaber and
23:17
then I saw Chewbacca and then I It's
23:19
like Yeah.
23:21
>> I mean, I think the more they can take
23:22
away the payw wall between average
23:24
guests and,
23:26
>> you know, experience.
23:27
>> Yeah. I think you should be able to have
23:29
the full Disney experience with with
23:31
entry
23:32
>> ticket or magic or whatever it is. So, I
23:34
love it. Um, also this week we had the
23:37
opening of The Mandalorian and Grou and
23:40
as has been the case since I believe
23:41
1997. I was there on opening night.
23:44
Katie came with me too uh to see the
23:47
opening night of a new Star Wars film,
23:49
but you weren't with me for all the
23:50
other ones. Um, but uh since the
23:53
original New Hope re-release, I think it
23:56
was in 97, I've been at at opening night
23:58
of every Star Wars film. And uh so we
24:01
had to keep that up. Uh what did you
24:03
think briefly? We're going to do a quick
24:05
review of this. And if you want a full
24:07
review, check the last episode of Daps
24:08
Magic, Disney, and positive stuff
24:10
because it's an hourong review and we
24:12
get into everything DC and I do. But
24:14
what do you think?
24:15
>> Love. Uh
24:18
Grou, amazing.
24:21
Uh, also horrible baby.
24:24
>> Uh, I want more Enzelians. I want
24:26
specifically more Anzel. Enzelians. Is
24:29
that what they're called? Anzelians.
24:32
>> I don't know. With
24:34
>> I I was thinking Enzelins, but I don't I
24:37
read things, you know, like
24:38
>> I don't know. I better than me just
24:40
calling them a bunch of Babu Fricks. Um,
24:42
might as well.
24:43
>> Might as well. Babu and the Fricks as
24:45
someone said earlier.
24:46
>> They did each have a name.
24:48
>> They did. I was I was reading through
24:49
about that earlier, but
24:51
>> um but
24:53
uh I want an entire like I don't want
24:56
episodes of them because I feel like it
24:57
could get tiring very quickly, but I do
24:59
want shorts of them.
25:01
>> Yeah.
25:01
>> Anyway, I thought it was really fun. I
25:02
really really liked it.
25:04
>> Yeah. Or oneoffs, you know, like Yeah.
25:06
>> Yeah. Um no, I thought the movie was
25:08
great. I thought the message was good. I
25:10
enjoyed uh where the end of the third
25:14
season of The Mandalorian, I was like,
25:17
"Great. You wrapped that story up with a
25:18
bow.
25:20
>> I'm good." Like, I was happy with it,
25:22
you know? Like, it was cute. They did
25:24
what they needed to do. I'm like, "If
25:26
you have more, I'm fine. If you don't
25:28
have more, I'm fine. I'm happy." By the
25:31
end of this movie, I went from that
25:32
place to be like, "Oh, no. I need more
25:34
of what happens to Grou. I need to know
25:36
where, you know, that relationship
25:39
goes." and where Grou in particular,
25:42
like how he continues to grow. And um
25:46
and I think that was something that this
25:48
did very effectively. And I think the
25:51
other thing it did was it was just a fun
25:54
movie. And and I've gotten in trouble
25:56
for saying this for a very, very long
25:58
time is I honestly don't think from a
26:02
critical standpoint all the Star Wars
26:05
movies are that great.
26:07
It doesn't have the greatest acting. It
26:09
doesn't have the greatest, you know,
26:12
writing all the time. Like, what does
26:14
>> she wanted to go to Tshi Station to pick
26:15
up some power converters.
26:16
>> I rest my case. Um, but what it does do
26:20
is it captures a bigger picture story.
26:23
It's it's captures the world. It's a fun
26:26
ride. It opens your imagination. You can
26:29
enjoy this world that George Lucas
26:32
created. And I think that's what The
26:34
Mandalorian and Grou does, too. And and
26:36
I'm thinking even comparing it to A New
26:38
Hope. And you just look at,
26:41
you know, there's assumptions made in
26:43
both of them. There's things that are
26:45
left by the wayside in both of them. And
26:49
there's also, you know, a growth that
26:51
happens in each of them. Like they go
26:52
from one place to another as as beings.
26:56
And um I thought that was fun. I also
26:58
liked that it didn't
27:00
>> it didn't impact the entire galaxy. like
27:03
it was just a, hey, we're going to have
27:04
a fun ride. We're going to impact this
27:08
little corner of our galaxy and what
27:11
happens here won't necessarily
27:14
make or break the entire New Republic
27:16
and the Force,
27:17
>> which I appreciated
27:18
>> and whatever because it it just
27:20
>> it didn't make everything have to have
27:22
galactic stakes, which is kind of one of
27:25
my complaints um sometimes about Marvel
27:27
movies is when everything means too much
27:29
or so much then it's just too much to
27:31
keep up with. Yeah.
27:33
>> Um
27:33
>> I'm like imagine living in the world
27:35
that the Avengers live in and like
27:36
you're under a global threat like daily.
27:39
>> Exhausting.
27:41
>> Like you're like, "Oh, cool. So like
27:43
first the portals open from the sky.
27:45
Sure.
27:45
>> Oh, okay. Cool. Now there's like a scary
27:48
robot worm eel. That's cool. Oh, now a
27:52
guy just snapped his fingers and wiped
27:53
off half the planet." Like imagine
27:55
imagine you're just trying to buy
27:56
groceries, man. You're tired. But, um, I
28:00
thought they did a good job with this. I
28:02
thought it was really fun. All of the
28:04
Easter eggs in this whether you caught
28:05
them or not. Um, I even caught a Captain
28:08
Eio one today as I was searching the
28:10
internet, which is awesome. And we've
28:12
seen this one before, but you can look
28:14
forward if you want to. Um, I would see
28:16
it again. I'm looking forward to the
28:18
bonus features. I hope we get a lot of
28:20
bonus features with this one because I
28:23
don't know, it looks like fun. Like,
28:25
>> I want more bonus features. I also can't
28:27
wait to watch it at home because uh this
28:30
movie was deeply funny to me. Like yeah,
28:33
it's very heartfelt. Yeah, it makes you
28:34
feel a lot of things. It's also really
28:36
funny
28:38
>> and I really enjoy that. So
28:40
>> it's a John Favro movie. Like it's just
28:42
a good time. Like it's great. And
28:44
>> we did talk about how the it does kind
28:45
of feel similar to Iron.
28:46
>> Yeah, it it definitely has.
28:48
>> Grou built this in a cave with a box of
28:52
mud.
28:53
>> There you go. All right. Well, now it is
28:56
time for one of our favorite parts of
28:57
the show and that is
29:03
>> comments. Comments
29:08

29:10
