1 SPEAKER_00: I have a message from the Village Jedi.
Max Rebo hit it.
Happy Friday, everybody, and welcome back to the Village Jedi
Podcast here on a little outpost brought to you by me.
My name is Marina.
If you're new here, welcome.
And if you're not, welcome back.
So before we get started, obviously, we're gonna go over
some ways that you can get involved in the discussion here
on my Star Wars podcast.
We've got a lot to yap about.
So we're gonna go ahead and just dive right in.
Right off the bat, if you want, you can go over and follow my
Instagram or TikTok at the VillageJedi, or feel free to
send me an email and we can discuss it on air at tvjpod at
gmail.com.
I'm really excited to get into all the things that I have to
share with you guys today, which is why today's episode is a
little delayed.
I just had a lot of things to iron out, so I appreciate your
patience.
Um yeah.
First off, if you're watching on YouTube, I'm dressed up again,
which means it's a special occasion.
I'm dressed up in my Jedi outfit, got my little Padawan
braid right here.
Very nice, very tasteful, very demure.
Basically, I am dressed up because today is a very special
episode.
It is the first episode that I am collaborating with
Sabermasters.
Um, so if you don't know, you haven't been following me on
socials, that's okay.
But Sabermasters reached out to me.
They're a lightsaber company, and they asked if they I would
feel comfortable collaborating with them.
They gave me a discount code and everything.
So starting from here going forward, there's gonna be an ad
break in the middle of the episode talking a little bit
more about that.
Uh, it's been really exciting.
I'm only been doing this for a little while, and so the fact
that a brand has reached out to me and wants to work together a
little bit.
I'm pretty excited, obviously.
So I just wanted to dress up to show how excited I am.
Um, and it just really makes me appreciate all the love and
support that the show has already been getting.
This is something I've wanted to do for a long time.
Um, so it just it really does make me happy that so many
people are already watching me and listening and want to get
involved in the discussion about Star Wars because we all love
it.
That's why we're here is to talk about something we love.
Um, it's a nice way to just take a break and give yourself
something kind of fun to think about.
So, yes, so excited for Sabermasters Collab.
There's some nice videos I'm posting on my Instagram and
TikTok, just a little bit about, you know, my experience with the
company and doing videos, obviously dressed up and
learning how to use the lightsabers.
There's some fun stuff in store over there.
So that's a good way to get involved with that saga.
Very exciting.
So thank you, Sabermasters.
Um, another collaboration I did, you can see over on Substack.
I'll put the link in the show notes.
But um I'm collaborating with some other writers on Substack
right now where we're sharing some of our favorite moments
from Star Wars.
Um, and the one that I picked was from the Tales of the Jedi
series, where Anakin is training Ahsoka, and then we see that
training put into practice during Order 66.
So I'll put the link to that um in the show notes.
It's been getting some some attention and love over there if
you guys, any sub-stackers out there or if you enjoy reading.
I just did a little essay kind of breaking down that moment and
why it was so significant to me as a viewer and why I think it
should get more love um from the rest of the Star Wars community.
So we've got a lot.
We've got a lot going on, and it's exciting.
So um that that's kind of it.
I feel like we can go ahead and open the archives on what we're
gonna be discussing today, which is the Mall Shadow Lord trailer.
I had this episode scheduled for next week because we'd be a
little closer to the debut of the show, which is Monday, April
6th.
It's a dual episode drop, so there's gonna be two, so a lot
of content to discuss.
Um, the episode scheduled for this week, we were gonna talk
about Star Wars funny moments.
And if I'm being so honest, you guys, I could not put together a
good list.
Like every time I would be happy with the list, I would think of
a different one, and I'd have to move some things around, or like
I would look on Instagram, TikTok, see the ones that you
guys commented on my videos asking what are some of your
funny moments, and it would jog my memory.
Oh, like, oh yeah, so the master list is still in the works.
And so I really do want to give justice to that episode.
I had a bunch of thoughts already queued up to talk about
the Maul trailer next week.
Um, so I thought we could just talk about that this week, and
that gives me a little bit more time to have a super exciting,
funny episode um next week.
So this week, we are talking about Maul Shadow Lord.
If you don't know, Darth Maul is a character from the Phantom
Menace.
He is a Zabarak.
And when I was a kid watching that movie, my dad would have to
tell me when to cover my eyes because I was terrified of all
those scenes.
Um, and I actually didn't mind that he died as a kid.
I was like, oh, phew, we don't gotta see that guy anymore.
But now that I'm older, I've come to appreciate what is so
important about his character, the potential that was low-key
wasted, um, and just what a cool character design he does have.
Um, so the fact that we're getting an entire show about his
character from the end of Clone Wars to when we see him in
Rebels, what happened in that time period is exciting.
So many fans, including myself, are just really getting amped up
for what the show is gonna be.
The trailer has given us a lot to go off of, but there's in
true Star Wars trailer fashion, also a lot left to see.
So I just wanted to talk about a little bit with my thoughts, not
doing like a full scene-by-screen, but just some
things that really did stand out to me.
I thought we could discuss that a little bit together today.
Hello there.
If you're looking to build your collection, the Village Jedi is
now collaborating with Sabermasters to offer you$20 off
your first combat ready laser sword.
You heard that correctly, Combat Ready.
The team at Sabre Masters makes it their personal mission to
create lightsabers built to last using lightweight polycarbonate
blades with customizable settings and simple navigation.
Sabre Masters has really crafted the ultimate experience.
Sabermasters is always offering a great deal for force users
everywhere, but with my code TVJ20, you can save an extra$20
at checkout.
Simply type in the code at the checkout screen, TVJ20, and
you're done.
Link will be in the show notes.
So, right off the bat during the trailer, there's sort of these
fast drums, it's very reminiscent, echoing the music
of Duel of Fates.
And right away, I feel like it sets the tone for what this show
is really gonna be about.
Because I had in my notes that so often, like with Anakin, um
we think about this song as Anakin's fate, the duel of
fates.
It has to do with Anakin.
I've never really thought about it about that song being Maul's
fate, his duel for his fate.
Um, because when you think about it, he is being sent by Sidious.
It's a it's a 2v1 fight in the Phantom Menace, and Sidious
knows that.
It was the debut of the Sith.
It had been at least a thousand years since the Jedi had fought
one.
I talked a little bit about that in my missed moments from the
prequels episode, just how significant of a moment this was
that Darth Maul was coming back.
Um, but the whole time he's fighting, yeah, he has the
double blade, and it, you know, you think, okay, if if one guy
has two blades and he's fighting two guys with one blade each,
seems like a fair fight.
But in reality, how many Jedi have has this guy fought?
None.
I mean, he's probably dueled with Sidious a little bit for
training purposes, but he's never actually fought a Jedi.
And same with the Jedi, they haven't fought a Sith Lord
before, so you know, you you would think it would be pretty
even.
But the whole concept of the duel of fates being set up for
what Anakin's fate is to be, I've never thought about it as
it being set up for Maul's fate as well.
So that song is playing.
And immediately I was like, oh, this applies to Maul.
I love this.
Like, this is the song that plays when we meet him and when
he's fighting.
Ray Park is doing his thing with the choreography, but I've never
thought about it applying to his internal morality of his
character as well.
Because if he loses, he's out of Sidious' plans, but if he wins,
he has a chance to continue a ruling out at his side for the
continued part of Sidious' plans.
So, anyways, I just thought that was kind of an interesting
thought right off the bat, listening to the music, it just
kind of gave me those thoughts.
Also in the trailer, we see stormtroopers, which echo uh the
design that we see in Star Wars Rebels.
Um, this is the first time that we see stormtroopers kind of in
this this Clone Wars style animation.
We did see Stormtroopers in Bad Batch, but it was still kind of
the beginnings of the Stormtrooper um program, which,
if you're not familiar, in the beginning movies um with the
prequels, we see clone troopers.
Clone troopers are not the same as stormtroopers.
Clones, they have an accelerated growth um rate, so they were
starting to age out of the military, they weren't
performing as highly as like this new younger wave of
recruits would.
So they trained the stormtroopers, the empire did,
and the clones were just sort of like phased out, which is where
Senator Chucci, we see her in the Bad Batch, she's kind of
fighting for clone rights because it doesn't really make
sense.
Like, okay, they're not part of the military anymore, like
that's all they know.
What are they supposed to do?
And Empire is like, we don't really care, we just need people
who are good at fighting, so these guys are out.
So, not treated very well.
Um, but that's kind of where we see the beginning of the
stormtrooper recruitment process.
So, this is the first time that we see them kind of in that
rebel's design, which is exciting.
Because if you don't know, that's okay.
We see stormtroopers, Darth Vader, lightsabers, certain
droids in Rebels in a design that at first you're kind of
like, this looks a little clunky, right?
But when you do your research, they are homages to the original
concept drawing drawings that Ralph Macquarie did, where he
sat down with George and George was like, I have this idea for
the soldiers, I have this idea for lightsabers, I have this
idea for this, this, this, and this.
And Ralph put together those concept drawings, sent them to
George, and that's kind of when the costumes and the set design
processes started to take place, was because of those original
concept designs.
So Rebels, to honor that period of Star Wars's foundation, based
a lot of their character designs heavily, their animation style
is heavily influenced by those drawings.
So it's just cool seeing in Clone Wars animation these like
Ralph McCory stormtrooper-esque designs, kind of rebels and uh
Clone Wars coming together.
It's just exciting.
So I saw those and I thought that was cool.
It's our first time seeing that, so that was exciting.
Um, this list, just so you guys know, is gonna be kind of all
over the place.
Like, I'm gonna be yip-yap and rambling um in true Friday
Village Jedi fashion.
So you're welcome.
Hope y'all are having a fantastic weekend letting me
yip-yap in your ears as well.
Next point Star Wars is getting a bad guy who's genuinely
terrifying.
Like the way they frame this trailer.
There's two trailers so far, like two official trailers.
And um, some more was released today as well on the store on
the Star Wars uh web pages.
But the red is haunting, and I don't use that word very often.
There's lots of scenes I feel like would not be near as
impactful as if they had been set during the day.
Like they have really set the tone, just these two trailers of
what they want the show to be, and they want you to be shaken
in your boots.
They want you to be on the edge of your seat, clinging to your
popcorn, wondering what is going to happen next.
They are setting up for some really exciting weeks of Star
Wars where they're literally gonna force us to have to wait a
whole week in between cliffhangers.
And I'm not ready for it, but I'm also so excited for some
genuinely peak Star Wars television because we don't even
know if this show is gonna be a one and done.
If it performs well with the fans, it could get greenlit for
future seasons.
So we don't totally know where where this is gonna end up, what
all we're gonna see.
We know where we left Maul and we know where we find Maul in
Rebels, but we don't know what happens in between.
So the tone of this show, we weren't really sure what it was
gonna be, and the trailer has just solidified.
It is meant to be eerie, and it is meant to kind of put you on
edge, and it is meant to make you ask questions and wonder and
kind of have this morality complex where you're low-key
rooting for the bad guy.
It has all of that while also cinemat cinem cinemographic, is
that even a word girl, cinema cine while also maintaining a
level of cinema that is just clean and it makes you I'm I'm
just I'm kind of vomit, word vomit salad this this whole
thing, but y'all know what I mean.
There's a lot of scenes, specifically hallway scenes,
that are designed to feel like you're being claustrophobic,
you're in a confined space with Mall.
And he ignites his saber, it's double-bladed, all you see is
red, all he's seeing is red, and you're just like, what is gonna
happen to these guys?
Like, you know, it's not gonna end well, and you almost feel
like you're you're trapped in there too with this guy, and
that really did strike me as something exciting with the
trailer, is just I'm scared.
I'm scared.
This guy is genuinely a bad dude.
He's someone you should be afraid of, and so that's what
makes it such an exciting show, is because my next point is it's
the same terror I feel as when we were introduced and spent
time with Dr.
Hemlock from Bad Batch.
Dr.
Hemlock does experiments on children, he's terrifying, and
like Thrawn, I feel like is terrifying because it's got the
ominous organ music, but it's not terrifying in the sense that
like if I was alone in a room, I don't really know what would
happen to me.
Um, that's how I feel with Mall.
Like, it's just scary, it's kind of bringing out that same trauma
I had as a little kid, low-key.
So the fact that they're able to set that tone with an animated
cartoon children's show just shows you the caliber of what
they want to do with this character.
And the voice acting, incredible.
It just gives you chills because Maul is also a very collected
character.
We see him in the trailer like pouring himself tea while he's
doing this very calculated monologue.
It's totally something Thrawn would do.
Like, I would love to see Thrawn and Maul interact.
That would actually be kind of amazing.
Um, but regardless, when I first said it feels like we're getting
a bad guy who's genuinely scary, I I'm excited to see what we're
what we're gonna see with this guy, what he does.
Next point, I wrote Order 66 Survivor.
The trailer made me think about Maul in a way that I have never
thought about his character before.
Because obviously, he's this bad guy, and when you think about
Order 66, you think Jedi.
All the Jedi were exterminated.
They're Padawans, wiped out.
Maul is an Order 66 survivor.
And I'd never thought about it until this trailer came to mind
because the way the trailer is framed, it makes it seem like
the show is gonna be exploring what it's like for him to be on
the run.
And who are the Jedi on the run from?
Sidious.
Who is Maul on the run from?
Sidious.
And we see that even in the Clone Wars, if you're familiar.
There's this whole arc where Maul kind of takes over
Mandalore and he slowly starts to gain a pretty large sum of
power and influence.
And it's not until he reaches a certain level of control that
Sidious kind of feels the vibes and the force and is like, I
sense a disturbance and I need to go take care of it.
And he goes, he fights Maul and his brother Savajo Press,
absolutely decimates them, reminds them who's in charge.
He just completely makes a fool out of Maul.
And immediately Maul is like, he's bent at the knees.
He's like, I'm sorry, have mercy.
It's like this chilling scene where Sidious is just like,
yeah, I have other uses for you.
Like immediately, he's back under Sidious' thumb, right
where he doesn't want to be.
He's a pawn, and so that's exactly where he's at again now.
He is on the same level of the Jedi where you are a threat to
Sidious and you need to be silenced and wiped out.
So then that's kind of where we see this pink twilight comes
into play, and she is kind of entertaining the idea of having
an alliance with Maul, because she's also on the run.
So why don't we work together?
And her friend in the trailer is like, we are not working with
Maul.
Are you serious?
He's terrifying, he's a bad guy, he has red blades, girly, and
she I think is gonna end up working with him because she
agrees.
Like the I I I foresee Maul giving this Pink Twilight the
same spiel that he gave Ahsoka when they were in Mandalore,
where he's like, You should join me, and he low-key had her, and
Ahsoka was like, I mean, I guess I could, but, and then it all
you know falls apart because she doesn't believe him.
I could see him convincing this pink twilight into believing
him, and then they work together, and the season ends
with them like in cahoots, like they're they're gonna do what
they can do to try and take down Sidious.
Because that's his main push as a character has always been
revenge.
So obviously, he wants revenge after Order 66.
How dare you?
I cannot believe that this is what you view me as.
I'm not a Jedi.
Why on earth are you trying to get rid of me?
I think you're trying to get rid of me because you know I know.
Because, right, he had the vision of what Sidious was gonna
do with Anakin, how he was gonna overthrow the Jedi Order, and he
was telling Ahsoka, like, hey, if you work with me, like we can
stop this.
And I feel like that's the same mentality he's gonna have where
he's still revenge-driven, he wants to get back at Sidious, so
he's an Order 66 survivor, and we're gonna see where that takes
him.
But I've never thought about him in that way before.
So that kind of feeds into my next point.
Mall says in the trailer, together we can destroy the
Empire.
Which again, like I said, his main objective has always been
revenge in some shape or form.
It used to be high-key revenge on Kenobi.
I think that's always gonna be there.
He's always gonna be a little bit obsessed with Ben, but he
has shifted now the blame to Sidious.
He wants revenge on what Sidious has done to him.
And he kind of felt like that when he was talking to Ahsoka,
but it was more fear-driven.
Like, yeah, I want to overthrow this guy, but I know I can't do
it on my own.
I need help.
I know that we can do it, I can't do it on my own.
So I think we're gonna see more of that is his kind of climb to
um what he like, like kind of bringing in sympathizers and
people who want to help him overthrow the Empire.
And I'll be interested to see maybe if later on down the
seasons we get a live uh uh a Clone Wars animation style Kira,
because later, obviously, we're gonna see him kind of working
with the crime syndicates.
I'm just interested to see where this where this whole revenge
plot is going with him.
The next point that I had is the new trailer features a hallway
scene with Maul versus the Pike soldiers, which, like I just
said, crime syndicates.
One of the main syndicates that he worked with was the pikes.
So it was interesting to me seeing him kind of taking them
out.
Like, what is that about?
Did they try to pull one over on him and now he's coming for
revenge?
Is he trying to like recruit them?
And first he has to bust through the soldiers to get to the king
pike or something like that.
I don't know.
So I don't know.
It was just kind of cool to see them again.
Um, the next point I wrote down is that the trailer is very
likely to showcase scenes from one or two episodes.
And this is a common theme in Star Wars shows, is when they
drop a new trailer or two, it really only does reveal one or
two scenes, major scenes, from the first couple episodes.
There's still a ton of stuff under the surface that we have
no idea what's coming.
And so I think these amazing combat scenes, these cool framed
animations, the dialogue, all of it is going to be just in those
first couple episodes, which is very exciting because that means
we have a whole rest of the show to see what's going to happen
here.
Where is Maul gonna go?
Where is this Pink Twilight gonna go?
They're gonna be our main two characters.
Why is he pouring himself a cup of tea?
You know, there's just different questions that we're gonna have
that are answered just within those first few episodes, which
is exciting.
I feel like we're in for a lot.
Um, the next thing I wrote is that this story is also a story
of survival.
Maul isn't trying to join the rebellion, he's trying to start
his own.
So he's on the run from orthy6, he's trying to stay alive, he's
trying to link up with anyone who might be able to help him
out.
He's trying to maybe get the crime syndicates involved again.
He knows what works because he was able to bring Sidious out of
the shadows on Mandalore when he had reached a certain amount of
influence and power.
So I almost wonder if that's gonna be his MO in this show.
Is like, okay, let's that worked.
Like, let's try that again.
Maybe if I build something big enough, it'll bring him out into
the shadows and I can take him out.
And I had this conversation with someone over on Instagram
because I posted kind of kind of my theory of what we could see
in the show.
And one of the theories I posted was I would love to see a fight
between Maul and Vader.
And basically the conversation proceeded, and um what had came
out of it was we see uh Maul in Rebels, and he's terrified of
Vader.
He's literally terrified.
He's like, he's too powerful for me.
Ain't no way.
The Maul that we see at the end of Clone Wars is very confident.
He knows that he can defeat Sidious as long as he has
Ahsoka's help.
We can stop this, and so I'll be interested to see what happens
in that frame of time that made him so terrified of Vader.
Like something had to happen, whether it be a 2v1 with Sidious
and Vader versus Maul or just Vader versus Maul and his clan
of gangs, like I don't know, but there's gonna be some sort of
interaction between those two characters that results in Maul
just being absolutely terrified of him, rightly so.
I mean, where we're at in this in the frame of time, Vader
isn't very old.
He's still pretty powerful.
We're talking about like Peak Vader right now.
So what's gonna happen to get Maul to that point where he's
just absolutely terrified of him?
So I'm excited to see that.
Um, I also wrote in my notes that Sam Whitwer, who is the
voice actor of Maul um in Star Wars uh Clone Wars and in Star
Wars Rebels, we're now gonna see him in his own show.
He's been playing Maul for 15 years.
And I was watching this video where he's explaining that in
his dying, in Maul's dying scene in Rebels, Maul says about Luke,
because Obi-Wan is on Tatooine protecting Luke.
Obi-Wan and Maul have this final fight, Maul tracks him down to
Tatooine, and as he's dying in Obi-Wan's arms, Maul says about
Luke, he will avenge us.
So Maul's entire tragic character really is built on
unfulfilled revenge and shattered plans.
And so the fact that he carries this narrative, this is one of
the last times that we see him before we we watch the show,
Maul Shadow Lord.
It just shows you where he's at in the frame of mind with the
character.
That he all he wants is to feel fulfilled, he just wants purpose
again because that purpose was stripped away in the Phantom
Menace.
He was the top dog's sidekick.
The rule of two, he was meant to get rid of Sidious and become
the new Sith Lord with an apprentice.
So he his whole life after that point is really just built on.
I'm just trying to get back to a place where I feel useful.
I want purpose.
And so we're gonna see that in this show as well.
Kind of him going after what he feels like his new purpose is
post-order 66.
Lastly, kind of going hand in hand with that, my final note
was that Sidious sends Maul to his death.
A lot of the trailer really did kind of bring up how I
personally view this character.
Obviously, the show is gonna be amazing, obviously, the story is
gonna be complex, obviously, we're gonna get a lot of new
content with this, but it really did kind of force me to think
about well, how do I even feel about this character going into
it?
Yeah, the show looks cool, duh.
The budget's through the roof, it should look cool, but why do
I care?
Why do I care about this character?
That's a big reason some other Star Wars projects maybe have
not been as fulfilled for the audience, is because they don't
care about the characters.
People care about Maul.
And so I really wanted to dive into that.
Why do I care about Maul?
So finally, I wrote my notes.
Sidious sends Maul to his death in the Phantom Menace.
We already discussed that.
He knew that Maul was not going to win that fight, which is
tragic all the way around.
It's because he knew his plan needed to begin shifting toward
politics.
Maul would not be capable of running the separatists or their
military.
He needed a new apprentice who was calm, calculated,
experienced, and had good people skills.
And we already know his eyes were geared toward Dooku because
of the Tales of the Jedi minisode series, where we see
Dooku kind of rising to Sidious' side as his new Padawan.
So kind of breaking that down a little bit.
Maul really was that guy.
From the first moment we meet him, he is Darth Sidious's
right-hand man.
And the next time we see him, after he's been cut in half, is
in Clone Wars, and he's just like mentally not okay.
It has really just messed him up.
His story is no longer in any sort of way involved in
Sidious's plans.
And you really have to start to think about where this even
began for him.
He became an apprentice at a younger age, and he was pretty
much just used and abused from the beginning.
And that I think is why I care so much about his character, is
because I like I was saying earlier in the episode, you are
rooting for him even though he's a bad guy.
And that is the epitome of a tragic hero.
Someone that is constantly just trying to do what they believe
is the right thing, but it never succeeds.
And Maul falls into that category where you're you're
thinking, like, man, this guy's gotta get a win at some point.
But just when you think he's gonna he's gonna get there, it's
ripped away again.
That is the purpose and his whole energy of his character.
That is he's just doomed to fail every time.
And so kind of looking at it from that perspective, going
into an entire show that's just focused on him and his
character, you know in the back of your mind it's going to end
with failure.
At some point, he's going to reach what he feels like is just
minutes and moments away from that feeling that he's been
chasing since he was cast aside by Sidious, and it's not gonna
work, it's not gonna happen.
So, what I'm hoping that we see from this show, whether that be
at the end of season one or the end of season two, I don't know
how long they're planning on having the show run.
At the end of the show, he's gotta end up on Malachor, which
is where we see him again on Star Wars Rebels, and he's old,
and he's not very confident, he's a little he's a little
senile, and all he's focused on is finding Kenobi again.
Something has happened yet again to send him back to that dark
place that he was in after he was cut in half on the phantom
at uh in the Phantom Menace.
So I'm just excited to see more depth from this character.
I know in the back of my mind, whatever he's gonna do, it's not
gonna work.
And so I'm excited to see what they do to kind of build that
up.
Like, oh, he's gonna make it, he's gonna win this time.
He's not.
That's the purpose of his character.
So it's just gonna, it's just gonna be a wild ride, and I'm
really excited to see where it's gonna take us.
I'm ready to just hold on.
We haven't gotten a lot from this show, which is exciting,
um, but it also means I didn't have a lot to offer as far as
breaking down the trailer, things that other creators have
really done a great job diving into detail about.
Um, I just wanted to throw a couple cents from the Village
Jedi at you guys, the closer we get to this show coming out.
And then what's crazy is as soon as this show is over, the
Mandalorian and Grogu is happening.
We've just got a lot of Star Wars on the horizon.
I feel like I started a podcast at the perfect time.
We're getting a lot more content headed our way.
Um, next week, like I said, we're gonna be going over some
funny moments from Clone Wars, which if you haven't submitted
any, maybe you want to try to contribute a little bit more to
that discussion.
Again, feel free to send me an email at tvjpod at gmail.com or
send me a message on Instagram, TikTok.
I'm just excited to get more people involved in the
discussion.
Uh, like I said, the show's been getting a lot of love, and I'm
really grateful for it.
Check out Sabermasters, check out that collab on Substack.
Um, I've just been along for the ride here, and I can't wait to
spend a little bit more time with you guys next week.
Thank you so much.
How embarrassing.
I almost forgot to say my new nerdy outro.
All right, let's roll.
Three, two, one, take one.
This is where the fun ends.
My only hope is you enjoyed, and I will yap at you next Friday.
That was good.
This has been The Village Jedi.
Thank you so much for listening.
