I’m happy to see that Bit Reactor’s RTS game is still in development. We didn’t know that when we recorded this.
Hey, my birthday is also March 4th!
I’m really enjoying the new Q&A format! To potentially shine some light on what’s currently going on in the gaming industry with mass layoffs, studio closures and a general shift in production procedures; it is largely rooted in forecasts set during Covid. During lockdowns gaming revenues and active players seen a huge surge and companies began hiring in mass and green lighting new projects as well as opening new studios in both support and lead rolls. Naturally after the lockdown restrictions went away gaming revenues returned down to reality (as a lot of people who didn’t traditionally play games began during lockdown then stopped when things went back to normal), it is this factor along with the trend of budgets of games being largely inflated and unsustainable (much like the film industry) that has led to the reshuffling of the current economic situation of the industry. It’s unfortunate that this is happening and that the developers of the games are the ones who are being punished for it and not the decision makers themselves but a lot of what’s happening is necessary due to those poor decisions sadly.
I feel like George Lucas would be proud knowing that people in the Star Wars community like Alex and Mollie call out the corruption in American business and politics and still find ways to deliver a hopeful message. It’s what this is all about.
I’m not gonna lie, but this new take on the Q&A videos are great by having three different camera angles. It almost like something you’d see on live TV.
Thank you!
@@Mollie_Damon You’re welcome, Mollie!
Spices up the viewing experience for those who don't watch these as podcasts. I agree.
Hard agree, it looks great!
I’ve seen Ahmed use the hashtags for both Kelleran and Jar Jar on things that aren’t even related to either of them, so this could just be another one of those cases. He’s always loved paying tributes to the characters he’s played, in one way or another.
I love Mollie pushing the PG boundaries in this one lol.
😇
genuinely appreciate the anticapitalist segment in the middle of the video, unironically made me feel better about this channel
Q&A: Do you think we could see an appearance of Snoke in The Bad Batch happening in the Series Finale or we might get a glimpse of him?
babes, your new set-up looks... fire? cool kids say fire now, right? you two rock. keep doing that.
Q&A: Do you think the next animated Star Wars show will be about the Hidden Path? I feel like there's a story they've not told with Quinlan, Grogu, Bec, etc.
Would be a fantastic way to give Cal Kestis his live action debut.:)
@@artfact2 he said animated :3
@@unincognito3689 Oh, derp.:P
I think Ventress might lead a hidden path series
Emerie’s last name is Karr, because she married K.I.T.T.’s evil counterpart K.A.R.R., from the TV show Knight Rider. Seems pretty obvious.
Darth Jar Jar would have the fans shitting their pants with sweet redemption.
Even if it wasn't official... it's official...😂
Lmao yesss Mollie that opening had me cracking up I wanna see Jar Jar get busy too!
I love that we’re giving credit to the physical actors playing the armor daddy, but I have to object that a voice actor isn’t “in” a show just because we never see their face. There’s a video from a few years ago of a conversation between Frank Oz and Mark Hamill at the 92nd Street Y that addresses some of these issues and it really opened my eyes to that divide.
Regarding Bad Batch S3, do y'all think that when the gang breaks back into Mount Tantiss they'll find out that Tech is alive and has been secretly being held there and coercedly, or maybe even willingly, helping Hemlock with experiments?
I think it's a good possibility, and I also think we'll get a conversation with Nala Se about Omega's origins and what exactly it is that makes her special to the Kaminoans and the Empire (personally, I think she's Force sensitive, and maybe Hunter too but not to the same degree. Like maybe Hunter and Omega were the first of the Batch to be born, and Omega was special because she was Force sensitive which was an aberration, so they were like "what if we could do this to other clones too" and Hunter was their first success with genetic modification and that's why his abilities are "enhanced senses" and "tracking", and after that they experimented with other changes but Omega's blood eas the key to making it work)
28:57 sir, you switched from Scotland to England dangerously quickly lol
Well his point I think was the Scottish Highlands probably don’t seem as exotic to someone in England like how the California desert isn’t exotic to him, someone who lives in Georgia.
definitely don't want them to screw up the marketing again like Solo, I had a theater to myself opening night.
Thanks, Mollie! Thanks, Alex! 💫
Emerie Karr's situation kind of reminds me a bit of Rachel Duncan from Orphan Black -- a clone raised outside of "normal" conditions and placed in charge of the others. Giving her a last name helps sell an illusion of control. She's not like the other clones, she's Different(tm). (Also, if you haven't watched Orphan Black I highly recommend it).
Great set update! Feels very comfortable. Oh and the 3-cam setup…pro! ✌🏾➕✊🏾
Q&A: Another Disney preschool series, The Lion Guard, had an interesting path where it grew a bit with its audience, going from a strictly episodic preschool show with simple conflicts & messages and very low stakes, to a 5-8 year old focused show with some higher stakes, eviller villains and a bit of an arc to it - while still remaining staunchly for younger kids. Do you think Young Jedi Adventures might do something similar?
Q&A: had Anakin not shown up after Palpatines duel with Windu would Palpatine had led the assault on the Jedi temple personally or delegate the task to someone else
As someone from England I would kind of agree with that. the scenes in Aldani look very like the scenes I see living in the Lake District.. and the scenes on typhon and mapuza don’t look like anywhere ive ever been
The scenes for Tython in The Mandalorian were filmed about 20 miles away from me and I thought, "Hey, that looks like the mountain in Simi Valley!" I think it looked fine for the series, but southern California hills and brush look very generic, which is why Star Trek and other sci-fi productions love to just drive an hour from Hollywood and be on some "barren alien planet."
Mapuzo looked even lazier. The rock-quarry seemed to have no "Star Wars"-esque tech as any part of the production design and literally looked like a cheap fan-film as a result, with that episode just being one of many problems that plagued Obi-Wan Kenobi from a production/quality standpoint.
Q&A: What do you think Hemlock was up to during the Clone Wars? He has clearly been around a long time if the Emperor respects his work enough to let him try to clone him, but he seems like a much more sinister fella than the Republic usually hired. What do you think he was up to back then?
Maybe working with the Techno Union on cyborg projects like what they did to Echo?
"People are ready to actually have Jar Jar back in something and celebrate him." Honestly..... yeah. I don't know about "people" but I am ready as heck for this.
It's ya Head Science Boyy, Hemlock!
Meesa can’t wait to play BOMBAD FIGHTA
Never bored by Scotland :)
29:10 as someone from the UK you got it bang on! 😂 I had no problem with something like Tython because it looked different to what I normally see. But Aldahni was very familiar and a bit bland. But Aldahni worked a bit better because it fit the overall aesthetic of Andor
Thanks for the fun video!
Love the shirt; Alex. Is that the A New Hope crawl..?
Q&A: How do you think certain Star Wars characters would react to learning they were fictional characters?
(Question based on a Reddit post I saw this week).
Galaxy of Heroes is teasing Jar Jar for an upcoming hero. One of the Journey characters.
RIP to the table it will be missed, but the new set up looks great!
2:24 Bloodbending is an offshoot of waterbending. If you were to earthbend a person, you'd be metalbending the calcium in their bones - think of it like a D&D spell called "Inflict Scoliosis."
Speaking of Jar Jar and video games, he's coming to Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes as a Legendary unit. They just introduced the Gungan faction and released the first character Boss Nass.
I can’t help but think back to Jar Jar being in love with the ruler of the planet that had that force sphere. I could be ok with a follow-up on that relationship. Maybe Ahsoka visits that planet at some point.
Q&A: From what I can tell, there have been two other Karrs in Star Wars: Karr Nuq Sin, and Hondo Karr. Do you think this could be a nod and/or a direct correlation?
More F bombs from Mollie pls ❤️ 😂
I love Star Wars but, I don't thing I will ever be ready for more Jar Jar. Unless it was Darth Jar Jar.
Nah, just the Binks as he is will do. 🙂
Bad Batch had an episode last season on what to do with bad bosses...
8:46 Soull Calibur IV was the game an it also had Starkiller as a playable as well as Star Wars stages.
As someone who is a pretty hard-core gamer, the problem is the license fees. StarWars can cost a billion or more for the license. EA just can't eat that anymore. EA has said they are dialing back the license games.
The problem is not licensing fees. That is just the PR excuse to help mitigate any stock drop they are still making lots of licensed content especially with Disney. EA's CEO is just bad on the creative side he's wasted so much money on canceled games that I'm surprised there hasn't been a call for him to step down by now.
CEO massive salary cuts (sometimes down to $1/year) are actually pretty common in the US in a recession or product/service failure. They just bet on things normalizing and getting stock-based payouts down the road.
Ooh I have to buy some of those shirts!
My wildcard prediction for the Ahmed project is JarJar is still in the senate during Andor season 2 and he will be in the senate for the Gorman massacre/Mon Mothmas resignation
This is fun!
Would like to know your thoughts on The Bread Circus's 12h video on The Phantom Menace. I just now finished it and it was a delight!
Alot of details on the movie that I never would have thought
That shirt also kinda looks like the lights on the stairs in the carbonite chamber in Empire
Alex always makes me think of Rove Mcmanus
Just compare Andor's use of the Scottish Highlands and the constant slightly desaturated California planets we keep getting.
I mean look, the guy has two characters, but it's a slam dunk that it's Kellaren that the fans actually want to see. That's such a cool character.
If we get Kelleran for the Bad Batch season three, that would be cool.
Darth Maul was in Tony Hawk 3 and Jango Fett was in Tony Hawk 4.
Q&A : which Inquisitor do you think Maul killed to get his Rebels/Solo lightsaber ?
Ooh! Are the Swedes as messy as the US blinds? Weekly Love is Blind Q&A…or Love is Blind Canon Update please!
Why does Emerie Karr have a last name? Maybe Emerie is married?
Omega may not have age acceleration, but there is something odd with her apparent age.
Q&A: Why did Sio Bibble say in episode 2, “There hasn’t been a full scale war since the formation of the Republic” when there very clearly was with the Nihil?
Beside the fact it's not a war the event didn't exist when that line was made.
@@mighthealYeah, more what is the canon reason
@@JediPastorAaron The canon reason it's not a war.
@@mightheal Oh gotcha. I’m not fully through yet. Still on the Fallen Star. Just saw someone griping about it on social media so wanted to ask
Mollie and Alex!
You two are the best power couple ever!!
Relationship goals for sure!!
❤ 👍
Happy birthday to Alex!
What is that Ahsoka in the cube above the Luke Helmet? Hot Toy? If it’s a statue, who makes it?
100% legendary Jar Jar live Motion capture for new animations for Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes. They've done the same with Anthony Daniels as well as Iden Versio's actor as well. His Kellaren Beq character just became available the last few months too. Also it makes 100% sense it's this since his legendary event is a celebration of 25 years of Phantom Menace.
I'm 100% confident this is what Ahmed is referring to. It's awesome if you play the game.
D you think we will get any content on Lukes Jedi Temple any time soon?
Wish he were doing Ubisoft's Star Wars Outlaws... =P
I think the majority of people just want to see Din's face because it seems like necessary movement for his character. Season 3 really just reversed everything the first 2 seasons were setting up. I'd like to feel like the characters that the Mandoverse is focusing on are actually going to have satisfying arcs but that is just seeming to be more of a wish than anything.
If Jar Jar is featured in any game, I want it to be a ragdoll physics one. Something like Octodad or Human: Fall Flat (Gungan: Fall Flat?)
The RTS game i think is still in development
Maybe a movie instead of a season was the only to get Pedro in it!
Guys. Love the new set. But please with the lights. Get gorilla tape. Will fix that up quick. Keep rocking as always. MTFBWY. ✌🏻
lol we used tape but the lights get hot and melt it 😂 we’ll find something stronger
I have advocated in private for a gungan Jedi character, any gungan Jedi character for years. If Lucasfilm wants to say that Jar Jar found the force after Episode 3 then I will be there for it.
Possibly Kellen berq tales of the Jedi episode
J.J.Abrams sarcastically joked about a dead Jar Jar in the desert of Jaku. I think that'd be an interesting place to start something. Why would he be there? What was he trying to do?
2:13 "It's probably not a good idea to earthbend a person." "That's bloodbending."
I mean, if waterbenders can manipulate the water inside blood, couldn't earth/fire/airbenders manipulate the iron/plasma/oxygen inside blood?
I would love for him to come back as Jar Jar, but I suspect he’s going to be playing Kellaran in the new Jedi survivor sequel
Not Activision so unlikely
@@joncarroll2040oh I missed that part. I thought they said EA
Creepio demands your flesh
*the new setup is amazing, btw. Amazing to see how far you guys have come
Just wanted to let you guys know that the Star Wars tees link in the description is not currently working!
Just as a heads up on regards to the Ahmed/Activision thing. I would not be so quick to write off Call of Duty, unfortunately. That franchise, ever since Modern Warfare II, has started to turn into Fortnite when it comes to their collabs. They have 3 characters, including Paul, from Dune. They have Rick and Michonne from Walking Dead. They have like 5 characters from The Boys. They had characters from Attack on Titan. They have Alucard from Hellsing. They have Nikki Minaj. They have Snoop Dogg. They have Rambo. They have an upcoming Warhammer 40,000 collab. There is more, but the point is that I absolutely would NOT put it past Activision to do a Star Wars collab with CoD for the TPM anniversary and put in Jar Jar as a playable operator. And it would also not put it past them to do a sith lord variant as a meme. It's far less exciting than a brand new game featuring Ahmed, but I am choosing to believe it's actually a CoD x Star Wars collab until proven otherwise just given the history of Star Wars games lately...
Could be playing a role in The sequel for Jedi survivor
Q&A: we have gotten an animated show/season every year since 2014. What can we expect after The Bad Batch?
A new show would already be in the works but since no rumors about one has come out we can't really speculate what it will be only what we hope it would be.
Ahmed has motion capture sensors on his facial features so I don't think its Jar Jar. They are capturing his lips, cheeks and eyebrows. That's Jar Jar's neck
Great vid as always :)
If emri’s birth was connected to omega’s wouldn’t she test her own blood? Might make sense if she was an earlier test for what omega accomplished in palpatine’s plans
Where is the shirt from Alex please
Head science boy 😂
You should know that there can't be a Darth Jar Jar anymore than there is a Darth Anakin or Darth Palpatine 😛
Maybe jar jar shows up in the next jedi game
0:21 time stamp it
This will probably get buried but the new mode in Fortnite, Fortnite festival is their new rock band
Yoda vs Darth Jar Jar
Jar Jar in Mortal Combat
THPS: Star Wars Edition. Me and Alex are hive mind.
Ohhh snap y'all like avatar too
Hypothetically speaking if, say, a friend, were to still hate the CHARACTER JarJar Binks, would... would that be a... a bad thing? You know... for the friend...
Q&A Have you seen Cerveza Cristal ads in Peru's Star Wars tv broadcast and how genius you think this is? :D
👍
I really hope they don't overuse the volume and use real locations IN California
I just realized how much information we know about Alex. His favorite character is Biggs, his favorite scene is Cobb Vanth, the character he lost most intrest in is Darth Vader, the character he never wants to see again in a post skywalker ers is Palpatine, his favorite canon series is The High Republic, his favorite legends series is the x-wing novels. I honestly don't know if I know that much about my friends😂😂
I bet he's playing some Gungan Sith-Lord.
hmm
Bungie laid off a bunch of employees right before Christmas, and at the end of the month so that they couldn't use their benefits after a couple days. Shitty.
After the disappointment of season 3, I am worried about Mando and Grogu movie. I don't see what Grogu adds to the story any more. He was a cute macguffin in season 1 and 2, and he had the perfect ending in season 2, and then they brought him back for some reason. It would be nice if they made him a character or have a role other than just being cute.
(Sorry for the rant Mollie, I know you love Grogu).
