Andy's Trick For Annoying Yoda Fans & Cool Reveals From Star Wars Celebration | Show of the Weekend

[@DeLaKleve]

“I’ll just show him dredge on my steam deck” good to see Luke has recovered from the Steam Deck being his whole personality now lol

[@mgw3133]

I love how casual andy is about his fav genre being "children in danger"

[@sambridgett]

Referring to Yoda as "old Grogu" is S-tier level trolling, I'll be using that in future

[@toymachine2328]

You ever see the render of Old Grogu in human skin? Looks like Johnny Cash from the Hurt video.

[@sambridgett]

@@toymachine2328 Well now I have and I ain't unseeing that.

[@robertwilsonjr.1384]

I really hope "Old Grogu" catches on as a Jackbox meta.

[@woodneel]

??: "THIS" "OLD GROGU" "VOTE ME"

[@suikofan]

I love Andy casually trolling his own fandom.

[@ahkine4096]

Yes, andy is a shitstirer, and we love him for it. Hahaha

[@RepKyle95]

Andy is a mischievous little gremlin and I would not have it any other way

[@Kurgosh1]

I can't believe he missed his opportunity to end the video with, "Live long and prosper."

[@Living_with_Narcissists]

If you think about it, since "Baby Yoda" has been enshrined as Grogu's nickname. In a way, what he did was an act of justice. Calling Yoda "Old Grogu" is not unlike a minority doing an act that would be acceptable from a white man, to demonstrate the double standard. And where did he do it? 👏 Andy is my hero.

[@mar_speedman]

@@Living_with_Narcissists But! But! *We're not* the ones who still call him Baby Yoda! We just call him by his name!

[@GarmrKiDar]

I'm reminded of a Jenny Nicholson video where she discussed the fanbase's obsession with character power needing to be justified with family relations with more established characters, and she said something along the lines of 'Of course Broom-boy isn't supposed to be a character, he's just there to show that the force is awakening in new people, we're not gonna find out he's Qui Gon's nephew or something". But here we are. Broomboy movie.

[@limegreenelevator]

That's in her "Rise of Skywalker" roast, which also popped into my head at that point in the video. I'm hoping Andy just made that reference as a quip about who else in the Star Wars universe is known to be force-sensitive, because if that is legit I don't think I could roll my eyes in any larger a circle.

[@swj719]

​@@limegreenelevator I just pulled that up to watch, and I'm loving it. "Boy, Fin sure is bad at object permanence."

[@mar_speedman]

I think she completely misunderstood the point of the Rey Heritage debate. Of course any old kid can end up being a Jedi, but the things Rey did were too powerful and too innate for her to just be a nobody. That's why fans needed to know her heritage. You can't make someone as powerful as a Skywalker, established to be the most force sensitive bloodline, and then reveal someone as powerful as them with that character either having trained for decades to achieve that power, or is also a Skywalker.

[@swj719]

@@mar_speedman why? Anakin was a nobody. Same with palpatine - his family didn't have a history of force power. Anyone can be powerful. We don't have to have a name attached.

[@GarmrKiDar]

@@mar_speedman Yeah you can. It's fiction, and her being a nobody would have worked better than her being a Palpatine.

[@warpstorm1988]

Ellen’s Wookie impression was spot on! Im both impressed and a little bit jealous.

[@woodneel]

I now want an Ellen-voiced Wookie-saber. Disney, make it happen! 😂

[@BogeyTheBear]

Merilwen's polymorph abilities are bleeding through into reality. I like to think that a DnD character who changes into an animal retains their original vocalizations and, in order to sound like the animal they've changed into, they have to fake it.

[@jmgriffee]

As Andy spoke, every Jeff who was in a Starbucks at that very same moment felt a disturbance in the Force, as if perhaps they, too, did not truly exist anymore...

Technically the monster is Frankenstein's son so it's fine to call him Frankenstein too.

Speak oddly, Old Grogu does, hmm.

[@callumdonington2227]

He's British. Taking the piss is part of the DNA.

[@barbararowley6077]

‘Old Grogu’ nearly made me choke on a sip of water - bravo Andy! Hope Luke is enjoying Dredge. The soundtrack’s very earwormy (in a good way). Swear I can hear it for hours after playing

[@Brasc]

Hang on... this Show of the Weekend had no magazines whatsoever!

[@joeking1956]

Yoda being referred to as old Grogu needs to be propagated throughout the interwebs! That is just hilarious.

[@scottskene8387]

Do we need an Oxventure Star Wars one-shot with Ellen as a Wookiee (and Andy as Corazon in space)? I think we do

[@kadosho02]

Yes! Yes! Yes!

[@nomeaknat]

She would need to be on Luke's shoulders to get the correct height.

[@neolexiousneolexian6079]

They did do a couple eps of Lasers and feelings.

[@thebpphantom]

Ellen: "I thought you'd be hanging out with Andy." Luke: (disdainfully) "Why??"

[@oxfanblink4115]

Genuinely missed the sofa antics during your Pax break btw. So was a happy bunny to get the notification 🔔 😃

[@Lordpooz09]

I think Andy's punishment for his "old Grogu" comment is a 3-4 hour live stream of him babysitting Mike in Hitman!

[@maries1993]

Andy taking his life in his own hands with those Old Grogu jokes 😂 i gotta break out that line next time I’m tabling a convention and I want to rile up some Star Wars gatekeepers

[@garrettsmith8562]

As a SW fan, I love the chaos energy of referring to Yoda as Old Grogu.

[@nickdejager8873]

Skeleton Crew feels very much like someone saw Star Trek: Prodigy, and said "We can do that".

[@ArkaneStephanie]

I mentioned that it was weird they made an old Grogu to my friends who like Star Wars and they threatened to murder me.

[@kadosho02]

They take things way too super seriously Space wizards c'mon

[@catoninetales]

I love that Pedro Pascal sent a video. Like a good dad, he wants to be present in our lives even if he can't be there in person.

[@LegendaryTalesandTrails]

You just know this episode is gonna be good when it has a title like that.

[@TheYorkRose]

I kept looking out for the oxboxtra gang at Celebration and being optimistic - gutted to miss you all but glad it was good! 😊

[@Sheldon1985]

My absolute favourite moment of being at celebration was the Kenobi panel and seeing Vivian Lyra Blair looking at Ewan McGregor with pure admiration. Absolutely adorable. Also seeing the Aardman short at the Visions panel was pretty good, and it is as delightful as you'd expect.

[@queenoffabulous2156]

I need to know what stupid amount of money they're giving Daisy Ridley to do this

[@scottneil1187]

Not like she's getting work anywhere else.

[@threateningfeathers4210]

every time Ellen does a new impression she scares me a little more. how does one make the sound of a wookiee lightsaber so flawlessly? i am terrified of the power she holds..

[@frodobaggins7710]

Ellen caught me off guard with that Wookie impression, that was spot on

[@senhowler]

I hope the movie about "discovering the force" is a bunch of humans making this amazing discovery and then all the naturally force-sensitive species being all like "oh, you 'discovered' this did you?"

[@danielharvison7510]

The Rakata might have something to say about that, I guess. Infinite Empire and all.

[@BogeyTheBear]

"...The basis for this incredible technology was a force that controlled the very fabric of space and time. They called it the greatest discovery in human history. The civilizations of the galaxy call it..." _Mass Effect_

[@Galvamel]

I would love it if the Force got into people like Xenomorphs do.

[@kadosho02]

That sounds fascinating, and terrifying at the same time

[@Speilbilde]

Oh i'm so stealing "Old Grogu"... thanks andy

[@ABadassDragon]

I love that everyone is talking about Dredge. Its really good

[@Michael_Lindell]

Just a friendly reminder, announcing a movie does not mean that it will ever be made or released. Especially if it's a Star Wars movie. There are 10+ Star Wars projects that were announce but never went anywhere, including Star Wars 1313, Rian Johnson's Star Wars Trilogy, A David Benioff and D.B. Weiss Star Wars film, Patty Jenkins’ Rogue Squadron and James Mangold’s Boba Fett movie.

[@SoFab6969]

While this is a good thing to keep in mind, Star Wars is now being produced by Disney who are basically their own corporate nation state at this point.

[@aeloswindrunner]

"old Grogu" had me absolutely dead, kudos sir xD

[@N0d4chi]

Mad respects for Luke still being one of us Steam Deck Characters

[@MrMBinder]

11:57 - I'm not a massive Star Wars nerd, but I would *love* if something like this were to happen 🤣

[@TyrGUN]

Don't worry Luke, after the video I went back and looked at all of the new Star Wars stuff forgetting any of that happened.

[@Ashamanknight]

I'm from Texas, the summers here are 100+ most days with the humidity through the roof; I never go outside during the summer.

[@amaeve1950]

Excellent job riling people up Andy 😂

[@danielharvison7510]

You gotta do that with people who take things far too seriously! Gotta loosen up, like giving the Vulcan salute whilst saying "may the force be with you".

[@FebruaryGhost]

I love tracking what Luke is playing based on what was recently recommended on The Besties podcast. I immediately added Dredge to my wishlist too after hearing them discuss it

[@braynjohnson4302]

Okay, Old Grogu is brilliant. Well done, Andy.

[@TurbanatorUK]

I feel that being a Star Trek fan does suck at times, since Star Wars never really gelled with me, and now they're releasing a load of stuff now. The recent stuff for Star Trek was good (even Prodigy), but still it sounds like SW fans are really loving everything.

[@joncombs8372]

I'm wondering if this video's length, 17:01, might be a subtle nod at the better scifi franchise ;)

[@TurbanatorUK]

@@joncombs8372 Nice catch! Maybe Jon or James edited the video to such a length, who knows...

In my head-canon, the early Jedi just used wooden sticks before they figured out how to build lightsabers.

As a lifelong, die hard Star Wars fan, I applaud Andy on his trolling of a fellow fan. Bravo, good sir!! I really wish I could have gone to Star Wars Celebration, but I am so excited at was announced. I am super stoked for Ashoka, that trailer was so good. And I am very happy to see Daisy Ridley coming back as Rey Skywalker. I love the character, I thought she did a great job in the role, heck I have a replica of her awesome as all hell lightsaber, and I am so excited to see her back.

[@stone5against1]

"Old Grogu" haha love how it had Ellen laughing so hard :)

[@aduro9519]

I'm definitely looking forward to Visions the most. Love to see what Aardman does with a wookie.

[@noddler217]

They joke about the possibility of Wallace and Gromit being Canon in Star Wars. The fridge from A Grand Day Out is in the background at one point. It's not a joke, Wallace and Gromit is canon.

[@AdamusPrime24]

Ayyy wondered if anybody from Ox was there! Looks like Andy went on the Friday...I was there on the Monday. And no joke, I'm kinda excited for all the big reveals...Especially Hasbro reveal of Mando's N-1 Starfighter! Also I nearly literally ran into Doug Chiang, the fella who designed the N-1 XD And that was after meeting Matthew Wood aka General Grievous! (We got to do /the exchange/!)

[@MrUkraider]

Wow Andy, that looked so cool, wish I had remembered it was on and not done a Luke myself, oops. I'm glad you enjoyed it and what great content we are all going to enjoy from the Star Wars universe in months and years to come. Thank tor getting the coverage and details for us, very kind of you. Also thanks to Ellen, Luke and Jon for putting all this together in this helpful video.

I have been playing it, thanks to PS+. But the control feels so weird. Platforming as well. And combat. Love the storyline, atmosphere, environments, and soundtrack. Just wish it played better, and was less buggy I'm not sure about picking up Survivor. Will wait for reviews, and when its on sale. Fallen Order. It takes a bit of time to build a rhythm with it.

The most clear words he's spoken were when Bo-Katan and Din were in Bo-Katan's ship and they both say "This is the way" and then you hear Grogu say a garbled version of it (at which Din turns in shock, then looks at Bo-Katan like "Did you hear that!?!").

Didn't realize Rey was going to have another movie. That's good, Daisy Ridley (and Rey) got shafted by the scripts. Still upset about what Rian Johnson did to Luke. And in Star Wars. Still think there are wayyy too many Jedi surviving the Purge. Really undercuts the impact of Order 66. But the Star Wars has always had a problem with coherent tone when it comes to timelines.

[@williamw2529]

It all sounds interesting, but some of it will always bother me why they didn't do it all 20 years ago. Like 12:27 they could have made this, and many other Indy games and films, decades ago and I'm sure people would have been crazy over it even then. Also as for 6:00 I hope she's alright, and they do right by her and her character this time. I didn't enjoy the Star Wars films after Last Jedi, but that's not an actor issue. It was a writing issue, which I share similar sentiments with Mike Stoklasa (of Redlettermedia fame). Hopefully moving forward they'll pickup a few of the books, or even the comics, and make them into shows or movies. It would be very easy.

[@amaeve1950]

Damn...I've missed Show of the Weekend

Last Jedi ruined it. And with Kathleen Kennedy still at the helm, I have very little optimism. I wish they would give the responsibility to the crew that made Rogue One and Andor. Andor's writing, plot, character development and dialogue is top notch. Mandalorian S1 was good but S3 was terrible. The action scenes made the Mandalorians all look like amateurs.

[@Ffourteen]

@@akmal94ibrahim Hell no, Star Wars doesn't need to become dark and gritty to win people over. Star Wars should be true to what it was, a tale where all the magic and sci-fi are just props for the human story. It should be proud of what it is, not try to be something else.

[@akmal94ibrahim]
