The Rix Road funeral scene is the best Star Wars since ROTJ!
Appreciate you watching Tim 👍👍🙏 There hasn't been many better Star Wars moments than that moment and this episode/series as a whole! Scott chose very well and it was great to hear the passion and love for this episode! If you have a favourite piece of Star Wars media that you would love to talk about and have the time we would love to have you on to talk about it! 👌
Completely agree Tim! 😁👍
Great vid guys as always 👍I like this set up doing a deep dive. Keep up the good work 👏
Ehh! Cheers mate! Scott was a great guest with a great choice! 👍👍🙏
Excellent episode of this series gents! Scott picked a banger of an episode from a series that had nothing but outstanding episodes! Such a great story throughout the season culminating in such an incredible finale! I'm super hyped for Season two also knowing that it tells the complete story of what happens with Cassian from the end of this episode to the start of Rogue One! That will be a wild ride and we should all get together to do breakdowns of the show! I think we all gravitate to Andor because it is the "Grown Up" Star Wars we OG fans have been craving. If anything happens to B2-EM0 we riot! In all of Star Wars have we ever seen such an emotional performance from a droid with the possible exception of R2-D2?
Thanks Matt! 🙏👍👍 Scott certainly did pick a brilliant episode. I also can't wait for season 2. It's going to be massive because it's so anticipated.
Absolutely agree about B2-EMO Matt, he’s utterly adorable. When Marva dies his grief is unbearable to watch, incredibly well written and filmed to convey such emotion and empathy in a droid ❤
An absolute belter of an episode to choose for discussion. Like Scott I really enjoyed Andor and can’t wait for season 2. Great chat lads.
Cheers Conor, hope we did the episode justice 👍
Thanks for watching Conor! 👍👍🙏 Scott made a great choice. We all enjoyed talking about it so much! Would love it if you wanted to pick a favourite Star War and come on to talk about it???
Another fantastic watch and discussion. It's a superb series.
Cheers Stu buddy 👍👍🙏 Stellar pick from Scott! You could once again really feel the love for this episode by everyone.
Thanks Stu, absolutely loved talking about this episode, it’s some of the best TV I’ve seen in recent years. 👍
Cracker of and episode Boyos! Great choice!
Cheers for watching Bud!
Great episode and choice guys. I'm not surprised at all that Andor has been chosen so early on. Nice one Scott! Such a great series, culminating, like you say, with this fantastic episode. Bravo everyone
Cheers Dez 👍👍🙏 Yeah Scott chose an absolute banger of an episode! He was a fantastic guest with some amazing insights! Still plenty of other great Andor episodes to choose if other guests want them 😉
Thanks Dez, really appreciate you watching and it’s great to hear the live out there for Andor! 👍
@@alongandlongtimeagoI’ll do another one any time guys… just an excuse for an Andor rewatch 😂🤣
Great episode. This one would have been my choice, Marvas speech gets me every time, it’s the essence of the Rebellion
Thanks for watching Delvian 👍👍🙏 You will have to think of another episode of something for when you come on mate 👍👍
Thanks Delvian, absolutely agree with you about Marva’s speech 👍
omg… I only collect 12” SW figures/dolls & I open them 😂 to see so much stuff in one store just blows my mind… I LOVE IT!!! great video. subbed. Brisbane, Australia
Thanks for watching 👍👍🙏 12” Star Wars! Wow! I honestly can’t say I don’t know a huge amount about Star Wars in that scale? Thanks for the sub 🤩
"It's a Mandalorian with a lightsaber, what's not to love?" This sums up my love of this episode and probably all of Star Wars.
😂 Great line! Cheers Matt!
Nice to see some positivity lads! I usually have to avoid Boohootube for a while when any new Star Wars comes out.
Really appreciate you taking the time to watch 👍👍🙏 We are so happy to be doing this series where we just talk positively about Star Wars. It always helps when you have a guest like Shabby. 😎
@@alongandlongtimeago But how are you going to top Shabby? end the series now 🤣
True! Cancellation incoming 😂😂 Next weeks episode pick is sooo good that it’s got a chance 🤞🙏😂
good interview, you guys. hey shabby. lol. #ROADTO1K
Appreciate you watching buddy! 👍👍🙏 Shabby was a great guest! He picked a great episode 👌
Hey Joe!!! 🍻
What an excellent episode of both your show & for Star Wars. I honestly couldn't agree more with everything that was said. This was without a doubt solid "Star Wars" for me and had so many elements of things that bring me joy & excitement. If only all SW shows/episodes could pull that off... Great job boys!! ❤
Glad you enjoyed it Josh. 👍👍🙏 Shabby is always such an eloquent guest and his passion always shines through. He also picked an absolute stunner of an episode! 😎
Awesome episode choice by Shabby and even better conversation! Chapter 13: The Jedi was a standout episode in a season of stand out episodes! Well done! Ronin Ahsoka is very cool. I really enjoy how Rosario Dawson portrays the character, but a small part of me would've liked to see how Ashley Eckstein would've done in the role.
Shabby made a great choice and it was so easy to talk about because of how great it was. Absolutely Matt! Ronin Ahsoka was very cool and would love to see something of her prior to this. Ashley Eckstein definitely deserves a cameo of sorts in the next series. Appreciate you watching buddy! 👍👍🙏
Brilliant Conversation about Star Wars. Looking forward to much More Episodes.
Gillster! Thanks so much for watching 👍👍🙏 Shabby picked a great episode to talk about 😎
What a fantastic and positive discussion about what is one of my all time favourite episodes of Star Wars. Loved the passion for this episode. Agree with everything the 3 of you have said, this episode is a masterclass in production, design, writing, direction and acting and feels absolutely like Star Wars to the core. Loving this series and the positive take on Star Wars… it’s much more fun than grumbling about what we don’t like and gives me hope for the future too. 👍😁
Appreciate you Scott 👍👍🙏 It is one of the absolute best episodes of Star Wars and I agree it’s so nice to be able to be joyful talking about the thing we all love. 😁 Shabby was a great guest!
Great video, awesome discussion. Shabby nailed his description of this Mando episode. Keep up the great work guys...
Thanks for watching Ricardo 👍👍🙏 Shabby’s choice was excellent! Loved talking with him about this amazing episode!
Good choice of episode. The transition from animated Ahsoka to live action was handled perfectly
Thanks for watching Delvian! 👍👍🙏 Great choice! Great character! Great guest!
Awesome chat and episode guys, I don't know what was better, the Mandalorian episode itself or you all talking about it!
Thanks Dez 👍👍🙏 It's all Shabby! He is so passionate about things that he's great to listen to. Especially when it comes to Star Wars! 😁
What a great choice of an episode! I loved this when it came out! The Samurai feel is just incredible. Great show boys! 👊🏻
Thanks as always bud! Can't believe you put up with watching us 🤣 I agree, the Samurai vibes in this episode are excellent!
Star wars was painful the other night when I saw the suburban neighborhood in the new Skeleton Crew trailer. I even stayed positive watching Acolyte. Rewatching Shabby's choice just healed me. Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka is perfect! Another wonderful idea from you both. 😊👏👏👏👏👏👏
Appreciate you checking it out Buddy 👍👍🙏 Shabby's choice was amazing! We had such a good positive time talking about it. DM us on insta or X with some of your favourite episodes and if they aren't already chosen by others you're more than welcome to join us for an episode 👍
Great episode choice and a brilliant conversation. There is so much good Star Wars out there and this episode was one of them. I got pretty hyped and excited to see live action Ahsoka, just such as I did with Bo- Katan. Brilliant series gents.
Cheers Stu! 👍👍🙏 Hopefully it took your mind off other things at the very least. It was a great episode that Shabby chose and was another great reminder that there are some great Star Wars episodes out there. ❤
Awesome lads! Thank you so much for having me on. Had a great night talking Star Wars!!
No thank you Shabby! It was such a great chat about a great episode of Star Wars! Thanks again mate ❤
@@alongandlongtimeagoAnytime buddy!
Wonderful way to begin this new series, and what a fantastic episode to pick. This one really did have a little bit of everything. The Darth Maul story arc hit all the right notes for me. And the death of the Duchess was so sad and heartbreaking. But in its essence, this was all things Star Wars for sure. Looking forward to seeing more of these episodes from this series and glad that you guys are bringing more love to Star Wars in general right now.
Thanks Josh! Stu really did pick a great episode! Get your choice of live action/animated episode or documentary in to us as we are really looking forward to talking about one of your favourite pieces of Star Wars! Appreciate you watching as always! 👍👍🙏
Fantastic choice Stu! A brilliant episode of the Cline Wars, I immediately watched after watching your chat and forget what an emotional punch it packed, along with brilliant choreography of the lightsaber fight, supported by an awesome soundtrack. Epic stuff and great Star Wars! Loving this new series already 👍
Thanks for watching Scott 😁😁 It was a great choice from Stu! Yeah I must admit that this weekend I’m going to watch all the Darth Maul episodes again 😎😂
@@alongandlongtimeago I think I’ll be watching some more Clone Wars too 👍
Great episode to kick off this new show lads! Yeah! This was an awesome episode of The Clone Wars. Looking forward to watching the rest of this series.
Cheers Shabby! 👍👍🙏 You might know the person on the next episode 😉
@@alongandlongtimeago 🤣🤣🕺🍻
Stu is awesome one of my favorite people!!! This was a great idea of show!!! Can’t wait for the series to continue!!!
Thanks Lak buddy! 👍👍🙏 Hopefully you will come on and talk about a favourite piece of Star Wars media! 🤞
Love the passing of the crown 👑. 😂. I knew this was going to be a tough one, but wow, I didn't expect the big winners to be the car-boot sellers. 😅 Definitely took some hits on this adventure guys, but it was still a great deal of fun to watch. 😊
Cheers Josh 👍👍🙏 After paying for postage I lost even more money 🤦♂️😂😂
@@alongandlongtimeago 😥
A great idea for a series, it's always nice to talk Star Wars! The Clone Wars as a series is something I certainly need to see again!
Definitely worth starting a rewatch Dez! Cheers for watching buddy 👍👍🙏
Brilliant start to the series gents! Stu's pick has me wanting to do a complete Clone Wars re-watch (minus the original Clone Wars animated movie.)
Has to be done Matt! Stu made a fantastic pick and that storyline in the Clone Wars is superb. Appreciate you watching as always buddy! 👍👍🙏
YEAHSSSSSHHHH!!! ❤
😂 So say we all! Cheers Obi Rob 👍👍🙏
😂😂😂
Despite all the things that happened to Obi Wan before that episode and all the things that happened after, I think that was the closest he came to having his spirit broken. Top episode cheers guys.
Appreciate you watching bud 👍👍🙏 Obi Wan is probably one of the richest characters. Especially after the Clone Wars. Great pick by Stu 👌
Very cool stuff guys. I’m kind of tempted to start watching the clone wars now 🤔
Do it! 👍👍🙏
You will not be disappointed.
A really enjoyable chat with you both. Very much appreciate being invited on thank you.
No thank you Stu! We can't thank you enough for coming on and kicking off this festival of positivity! 👍👍🙏
Retirement on hold again then lads 😂
Not Seen any comments from Mrs Long yet……..🫢🫢
Which Mrs Long 😂. I think Adam has gotten away with it! 😉 Cheers Keith 👍👍🙏
Wow Martyn, first the payoff scandal with Stu, and now this insider deal with Adam Berry. Not exactly painting a picture of integrity. 😂 Congrats on the victory I suppose? 🤣
Thanks for watching Brett 👍👍🙏 I don’t know what you mean? I’m an honourable chap who doesn’t believe winning is everything! 😉😂
People was having there dinner 😂😂
Appreciate you watching 👍👍🙏 He will make any excuse 🤣

Brilliant fun, loved Martyn’s evil laughter at Adam’s losses 😂🤣 Great challenge guys, Adam Berry got a bargain with that stationary set…😂
Cheers Scott 👍👍🙏 Sorry my Darth Sidious revealed itself 🤦♂️😂😂
Great stuff guys! I like the idea of you tallying the results live next time...I would prefer to watch your disappointment in real time! 😄
That's even more reason to do it live next time 🤣 The modern day colosseum. Cheers for watching Matt 👍👍🙏
Some welcome surprises! Adam looks to be doing pretty good in this Martyn, oof! Things are going better than I had anticipated though. In hindsight, I feel like I could have been bribed to bid on some things.... 😅
I'll send you the links for next years challenge Josh 😉🤣😂
Took me a while to get to this video, but it was one with a concept that I was truly intrigued by. Just trying to find items to resell would really be challenging, but I think you both came up with some unique items that hopefully you will find the right buyers for. Selling on eBay might be a bit tricky for some of these, so I'm eager to see how it all pans out. Looking forward to updates guys! Good luck.
Thanks for checking the video Josh 👍👍🙏 You are in luck because I literally just released the Results video 😬
Awesome video guys, such a shame you both didn't make much money! A great contest, and congratulations (?) to Martyn for being the winner! There's people out there who have grabbed some nice items at great prices
Appreciate you watching Dez 👍👍🙏 It doesn't matter that we lost a few quid. It's the fun we had! (At least that's what Adam is telling himself 🤣)
Congrats Martyn and well done for coming second Adam. You both had some bad luck on those auctions to be fair.
Thanks for watching Delvian.👍👍🙏 Yeah it wasn't our best show but as they say, 'there's always next time' 🤣
For the record I actually bid on an item each of yours, I bid on the Sphero so Adam you would have lost even more money if that ain’t been for me lol. I actually liked the school set, like the design of it :) - £1.20 bargain
Appreciate the support Adam! I can say you got an absolute bargain there. It's a quality piece of merchandise! Star Wars Marathon!!! Lets go!!! Cheers Adam!
Martyn, you have the evil laugh of a really bad winner!! 😀😀😀😀
It's even worse if I lose Rob 🤣 Appreciate you watching mate 👍👍🙏 There is definitely a Making the Grade coming soon......
Good fun! 👏👏👏👏
It was great fun! Unfortunately the results didn't bare fruit but fun was definitely had! Appreciate you following it buddy 👍👍🙏
So I’m guessing Adam has been kicked out the house and is currently living with you now Martyn 🤣 Great challenge but don’t over spend next year!
No way! We wouldn't want him here 😉 I think the key this year is that there wasn't much quality to choose from. I won! I guess that's all that matters 🤣🤣 Cheers buddy 👍👍🙏
Great challenge guys, some shocking results though
Thanks for checking it out TJC 👍👍🙏 Adam was probably right we should have let it finish at 8pm. Might have had a few more bids 🤷♂️
@@alongandlongtimeago maybe you could try another one around Christmas to see if you get people looking for gifts, that may bump up the interest a bit too
Like it! Great idea!
Now, this is what I call chill out, lol.
I'm definitely not going up to Now 125! 🤣 Cheers Stu 👍👍🙏
