Will Qui-Gon Jinn Appear in the Obi-Wan Film? With Epic Meal Time's Harley Morenstein - Jedi Council

[@HarleyMorenstein]

This was way too much fun! I wish we could’ve continued for another hour!

[@zaydsiddiqui8055]

Harley Morenstein please come back for more episodes

[@TheFallofTheEleventh]

Honestly you’re great as a movie reviewer! I think you’ve progressed a lot further than EpicMealTime and your honest self is so much more appealing now. Please come back for more!

[@cflchurch2526]

Yes Harley , time for bi-weekly thursday business meetings in LA for Epic Jedi Council.......

[@hugomerckx500]

I always like your insights on star wars man, you should do more on your own channel as well, they are always great. Or dedicate just a piece of one of those dopest vlogs in the game to star wars every once in a while

[@damond7437]

Harley, you are Siskel & Ebert wrapped into one. Hizzzype

[@isamartell]

The first time I saw Last Jedi I went by myself on opening night. I am 44 and the next time I took my 8 year old with me. Having him along made me see the movie like I remember seeing the OT at the theater. The one thing my kid said was “Did you see the boy at the end had the Rebel ring?” and he said it like it was awesome and I may have missed it. To me, these scenes that people are complaining about are forgetting that if they were a kid see it, they would be no issues.

[@thegreyinitiate3680]

īsā Martell exactly! George Lucas has always maintained the point that he made these movies for kids. The issue with it all is, these kids that saw the originals in theaters grew up. These movies live in their minds and memories as some of the best experiences they’ve had in their lives. Then the prequels came and completely destroyed all of that for them. And it’s not necessarily because the prequels were of lesser quality (though objectively from a film making perspective there definitely is that point to make) but simply because it wasn’t how they remembered it. I grew up with the prequels. They were my Star Wars movies. I saw Revenge of the Sith in theaters 5 times and as an 8 year old, it was the most amazing thing I had ever seen. Going back and watching them now, yeah, I see the problems. But I also recognize that the originals have problems as well. And this is something that some people don’t do, for one reason or another. There are problems all over the original trilogy, but people tend to just give them a pass and put them on a pedestal. When rogue one came out on Blu-ray last year, I marathoned all of the movies in chronological order, and I discovered something that I wasn’t expecting as a result: Rogue One and The Force Awakens are, objectively, the best Star Wars movies that have been made. In terms of overall quality and consistency, none of the others come close. Phantom Menace is a mess. Attack of the Clones is a mess for most of it. Revenge of the Sith actually has some very redeeming qualities that you really start to notice when you see them all back to back to back. A New Hope is all over the place. It takes forever to get going and then once it does, the Death Star blows up and it ends. Empire is the best of the originals, and that primarily has to do with Kasdan’s script and the Kershner’s direction (both of which are things the other two originals lack). I found myself just skipping through most of Return of the Jedi cause as cute as the Ewoks are, the film screeches to a halt once they land on the forest moon. I am all for people giving civil criticism for things about The Last Jedi that they didn’t particularly like, but when people criticize one part of the saga and yet place other parts on pedestals and refuse to acknowledge that the whole franchise has had flaws, that is where I start to get annoyed. I absolutely love The Last Jedi. I don’t hold the originals as gospel as some people I know do. Maybe that is part of why I feel this way about it, I’m not sure. But for me, going to see The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi in theaters has made me feel like that 8 year old kid watching Revenge of the Sith for the first time again. And if these new movies can do that for me, just imagine what they’re able to do for 8 year olds today. They weren’t made for us....

[@bradhend]

Damn Harley knows his stuff! Good addition to the panel!

[@Ren-gt8ov]

Harely was absolutely amazing, well spoken and incredibly well versed in Star Wars. I can’t wait for him to come back sometime in the future. Best guest we’ve had ever in my opinion

[@giancork1656]

I have said it before, I said it again: I would love a scene or two of Kylo in the castle in Mustafar 'hunted' by Han's shadow and 'taunted' by Ghost Luke...... a bit in a kind of gothic slat Castle of Cagliostro like or even a bit Hamlet like......

[@giancork1656]

Yep! It could be cool maybe....just a scene without getting to 'psycho drama' on it.... and maybe it could happen before or after that Kylo meets with the rest of the Knights......

[@WhoWouldWantThisName]

I think it is HIGHLY unlikely we will get Harrison Ford back to do anything like that, but as Luke told Kylo, "See ya around kid." I believe he will make good on that and we will get some indication of Han still being in his thoughts and haunting him in that way. I look forward to it.

[@giancork1656]

WhoWould....yeah, when I said shadow I meant more on a psychological level, so no Harrison Ford just a 'shadow' of Han (not literally a shadow). They could also use sound by using Han voice from the 'bridge' scene in TFA. To Darren, Msclean. I am sorry to hear you might have not liked TLJ. I enjoyed it. Plus, what I write here is more akin to fan-fiction that what I can see them doing. And it is not said that my 'idea' is any good! A scene have to make SENSE within the overall movie and this could be a bit too left field and might not make any sense within the structure and character arcs in the Ep.9. Its just a 'cool' idea to play around in your head..... like a sort of short movie centered on Kylo disintegrating sanity..... :) I hope next movies will hit you more favorably , starting with Solo! Peace out!

[@giancork1656]

Logan When I say 'shadow' I mean more like a fleeting 'memory'...... maybe even just only a voice of Han of some words he said before Kylo killed him..... and the shadows would be more akin to German Expressionism.....

[@WhoWouldWantThisName]

Maybe I should point out that I wasn't suggesting a ghost but merely Kylo having thoughts, memories, nightmares of his father. Without Ford they would be limited to merely giving us the fact that this is something happening to him, via conversation etc., rather than showing us. Which they may still do.

[@Thedrewshow559]

Harley straight belongs on the council.

[@DeathBringer769]

But does he have the rank of Jedi Master? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@thebacons5943]

He is a great fit

[@warlockofwordschannel7901]

Those rumors about Mustafar and Endor being in Episode IX could be wonderful to see. If Kylo goes on a twisted pilgrimage to Vader's castle.... hohhh boy....

[@thebacons5943]

That could be so great

[@NitsujRelis]

I feel like Rian Johnson is Holdo, and most of the audience is Poe. We question and we believe that he doesn’t care for all of this how we do, but in the end he cared just as much. We just had our expectations on how this was supposed to go and were questioning those above us...but we didn’t have the big picture. We need to show a little faith.

[@thebacons5943]

NitsujRelis yup

[@bbpaulss]

Funny how you say that because Holdo ends up being right and Poe is the fool in the movie. So yes you’re right about that comparison

[@lucidescape4890]

For a second I thought he was going to introduce John Boyega

[@phhsdj]

me too we all know john is a fan but it just never works out

[@najee_eee]

Same here😂

[@AntonymicallyCorrect]

Yeah I don't like this council so far tbh.

[@Jordan-mq4wj]

Who's John boyega lol.

[@thebacons5943]

He’s just soooooi busy

[@ThaFreekinG]

I loved watching this video and especially liked hearing that bit where you talked about why we shouldn't want Star Wars to be known as the toxic fanbase... And then I looked at these comments, and I think this fanbase is too far gone. It honestly makes me sad that negativity and hate are the only things many of us fans are capable of.

[@DaaaaaapleSmit]

Agree 100%. Go look at Star Wars Theory. He’s a great KZbinr make great videos but he spread SO MUCH negativity it’s saddening.

[@DougieD_Funk]

Wow that was an awesome council. I reaaaaally appreciated Harley's views on a LOT of things but especially The Last Jedi. Really great way of lookin at it. When they started talking about Kylo I got pumped because I agree first of all, Kylo has had my interest peaked since he walked onto Jakku in Episode 7. I loved him in 8 and there's just this ONE thing I hope to see in 9 which is, now that Kylo is the Supreme Leader, I hope he starts wearing his helmet again not because of face decay and physical appearance, but because of that conversation between Kylo and Snoke in 8. That convo tells you that Kylo just LIKES wearing the helmet. It makes him feel more like his grandfather and I fucking love that and I want him to start wearing it again immediately as a "fuck you" to Snoke and that whole back and fourth they had. I'm fine with the whole physical thing too though trust me, and of course I love the deeper meaning behind the helmet but I also want to see it just because he always just WANTED to wear it plus it's intimidating. Awesome Council thank you!

[@danielrosales420]

"Let's not be that fan base." I agree. Just walk away if it upsets you so bad. I love the movie. If you don't, that's ok. No need to be angry though.

[@Dschn08]

Daniel Rosales the fanbase has become really toxic if you explain why you like the movie you get called Disney fucktard Or if you're critic you like it they assume you're paid by Disney. It's getting really sad and embarrassing.

[@humblebugg5270]

If something you love is ruined you get angry.

[@danielrosales420]

Dschn08 True. I feel bad when people don't like it, but don't get mad at them. They seem to get really angry. I love the movie. There's not many things I love more than Star Wars. All 9 movies so far. I don't feel like it's been ruined. If they name movies forever, I'm bound to not enjoy one that much. I seriously doubt it'll offend me like that.

[@danielrosales420]

I agree though, it's getting embarrassing. Just don't watch it again, if you don't like the movie. No need to question Johnson's integrity. Sheesh people.

[@Dschn08]

Humble Bugg that's fine if you would angry at a film because you don't like it. But you shouldn't attack other people for thier opinions or thier character. that's the point that we're trying to make the fan base is becoming toxic. The vocal minority is painting us Star Wars fans in a bad light.

[@porgslife1395]

Didn't anyone else notice how after Snoke told Kylo he had too much of his father's heart in him that at no point after that moment did anyone in the film ever refer to him as Kylo again? Only as Ben. Sit on that for a minute. It's important.

[@chrisscorpio5651]

Thank you Harloff for understanding the fans who didn't like The Last Jedi. He seems to be the only one.

[@HarleyMorenstein]

I understand. I just have a different perspective. I spoke with Harloff after. I am a fan of Luke tossing the saber, he was very much not. It’s hard to keep breaking it down because ultimately it’s a matter of opinion. At a certain point we have to agree to disagree and get excited for the next one.

[@Ize19]

We have to agree to disagree at some point. Sure, that's true. We need to get excited for the next one? Hard to do that when this movie just crapped on everyone who got excited for it.

[@neiljones3070]

Harloff is not a fan of this movie. You could see it clearly on his face when he reviewed the movie. Just compare it to his reviews of rebels and movies he actually liked.

[@rootzmagazine7119]

Did you like it? ok thats fine. But Luke was SO out of character in TLJ, and that is NOT a fact. #NOTMYLUKE

[@Zoltan1251]

+Ize19... im one of those guys that simply love this movie and it surpased my every expectations.... i hate canto bith story line but other than that it perfect for me... it reignited my passion for SW as i never though possible... now i want to watch every Jedi council and buy comics..... i mean i know why people hate it but its just hard to communicate with people when they are so angry they didnt like the movie... sometimes its just happens that the movie is not for your taste, that doesnt mean you have to argue its bad movie with people who liked it

[@jaydenmaloney3579]

What a great panel! The last 10min discussion was top notch

[@Ledpooplin55]

It's weird that Kristian wants broom kid to start the next movie. That's such a terrible idea. You don't put the ending of the current story in the next episode. What is this Walking Dead?

[@manchegocheese8529]

Ledpooplin55 I think we all know there’ll be a fairly significant time jump for IX, so the broom kid shot instigates and informs the growth in the galaxy and (hopefully) the improved fortunes of the heroes but the time that film begins.

[@JeremyHartson2000]

Agreed, Ledpoop. Everything that you said is exactly where TLJ went wrong FIRST. Rey, Luke, lightsaber... exhibit A.

[@manchegocheese8529]

JeremyHartson2000 not really. TFA was about finding Luke. The film ends with him found.

[@raffpascuzzi2738]

Manchego Cheese Actually the TLJ ends with Luke dead so yeah....

[@manchegocheese8529]

Raff Pascuzzi What?

[@Darkus16]

HARLEY MORENSTEIN IN THE HOUSSSEEEEE

[@Spthomas47]

*ba-guk guk, bwoi*

[@bengorniak2721]

I love special guests! Thank you for your time Harley!

[@thefilmginger]

Harley was fucking BRILLIANT, in his element the entire time...even in Canada, just Skype this guy in for each and every Council, because he's an absolute credit to the world of Star Wars and it's fandom.

[@Waywardsage411]

Good points on not being toxic! I love going to watch movies and when I see one that I don't enjoy I just leave it at that. I don't feel the need to tell people that they are wrong for liking something I didn't. I really appreciate the passionate discussion of Star Wars on this episode.

[@najee_eee]

It would be hilarious if at the end Han turns around at the end and it’s a CG young Harrison ford saying one word😂

[@danielmedjedovic7068]

cgi Harrison Ford: Chewie, we are home (at the bar)

[@najee_eee]

Daniel Medjedovic that would be hilarious😂

[@whoisgoobafish9623]

And all he says is ‘Han Solo’

[@najee_eee]

whois waylon lol he says we’re going solo and points at the camera😂

[@whoisgoobafish9623]

Najee_eee lol he looks straight at the camera points to the audience and says ‘ SOLO’ And then it flashes to a giant SOLO title screen and end credits

[@jefflubin1996]

You guys need to bring him back on here again!!!

[@bettercallmaul5810]

At this point, I don’t care about what the cast of Solo says. Of course, Donald Glover and Phoebe Waller-Bridge are going to rave about. If it’s so great as they say they would show us a trailer.

[@thebacons5943]

Better Call Maul wait for the trailer to judge it. I’m saving all judgement until I at least see the guy’s version of Han. Obviously I’ll save final judgement until after the movie itself

[@bengorniak2721]

Love being around/listening to Star Wars fans like the guys on the council.

[@adamantiumpandas701]

I was halfway through rewatching Harley's 1 hour Last Jedi therapy session when this got uploaded!!!!!!

[@Spthomas47]

Loved that vid

[@HarleyMorenstein]

Thanks :)

[@adamantiumpandas701]

Harley Morenstein Thank you, man!! I've watched your vlogs for years and your Star Wars videos are *always* my favourites!!!

[@TheHtmarshall87]

You made the BEST case for the excellence that is The Last Jedi. Loved it as well. ;)

[@islanddolphin6878]

LOL it was like therapy for my sw loving soul that was torn after TLJ!

[@streven1331]

Phenomenal analysis of Luke's treatment in TLJ.

[@lele2000]

I wish the entire SW fan community could just watch the last six minutes of this Council, very honest and true reflection of how many fans treat others when they disagree or feel strongly about something, and are so angry and mean when they don’t have to be

[@filmlovinamerican2309]

Thank you for that much needed talk at the end, Harley

[@thewatcher8573]

the Solo synopsis actually gets me excited, movies can be good and be "rides" too. I don't have the same "ride"=bad stigma that a lot of people seem to have.

[@thebacons5943]

thevanishingflame the movie has a good chance to be solid imo. Glad they shifted back to a more original tone

[@ZachBobBob]

Every single podcast I listen too where people see it again like it more the second time. Even my friends who see it again like it more. Kristian is spot on when he says to see it twice. It's not about giving Disney more money or convincing yourself to like it. It's about perspective.

[@theodorehumphreys907]

Great show! enjoyed it! great conversations. Harley please come back as often as you can. Love your comments. The Force will be with you always!

[@ZeethK92]

I can safely say I would have never have predicted that people from collider and epic mealtime would be in the same video. Well done.

[@Jeremy32Miller]

Epic meal time used to be so big back in the day with bacon strips with bacon strips and bacon strips 🥓

[@ChristinaWoodall]

Don't forget about the bacon! LOL and the booze 😁😁😁😁

[@SamFerrara]

And just cause they're f*cked up, they garnish with Baconators.

[@musicbox8351]

allllll this meat!!!!

[@OnlyOneKenobi]

Superb video! On board with all your points. Great work! ☺

[@jhold4294]

Really love Jedi Council and Harley was a great guest today! Would love to see him again closer to Episode IX! Great work Kristian and Ken.

[@thomaspowell118]

Loved the conversations regarding potential for new animated/ live action series!

[@tommyestrada2986]

I loved The Last Jedi and am tired of all the videos talking about it but this one was EXCELLENT!

[@colinthedogfromspaced9365]

This was really good this week. Cheers.

[@davematias7925]

Jedi Council's special guests are on point! Jedi Council is killing it.

[@lele2000]

Every time the Holdo moment happened in each viewing of mine, it’s so true, the audience reaction was really amazing. People gasped and said “Oh wow!” or “Oh my gosh!”, it’s jaw-dropping! :)

[@miggypopins1273]

I don’t think the majority of people blindly hate or love TLJ. Yes, the fan base is divided. It’s been divided ever since ROTJ. A lot of people think TLJ is fresh and original. And other people think TLJ is unoriginal and a disservice to the original cast. In my opinion TLJ tries to put a twist on Empire and Return of the Jedi, but ends up coming off as a combination of those films just shuffled around. (Just my opinion)

[@miggypopins1273]

I think there are a lot more people who dislike the film than collider and other sources will have you believe. I just hate how they say that people are blindingly hating the movie when there are a lot of people who don’t like the film for very valid reasons..

[@youdosuck]

Starwars middle films do around 30% than the first.

[@Ize19]

Star Wars middle films also range from divisive -(the initial reaction to ESB) to outright despised (AotC), so that doesn't dispute the status of TLJ as divisive at best.

[@matthewburns9911]

Miggy Popins I did not know what to think. I think I enjoyed TFA and RO more at the initial showing. And ROTS for that matter - it was a great cinema experience in 2005 anyway. TLJ just seems bland and labored in places. The opening scene for one, is just, by the numbers?

[@jamesbuchanan8717]

This Harley dude with the Man Beard needs to be a permanent fixture.

[@jamesbuchanan8717]

Friggin love y'all. Thursday's are always a favorite for me.

[@thebacons5943]

I didn’t know about Harley until today but I really like how he fits with the council. Sometimes the guests don’t really work but Harley and also Bobby Moynihan from a few weeks ago would be great to see comeback!

[@jennifermemolo9355]

Agreed, lets not be toxic! Well Said!😊😊

[@DaaaaaapleSmit]

We’re too far gone

[@intunepr]

Great council today and I think Harley was superb. New fan from across the pond right here. Get back on the council soon dude.

[@gregshedd7629]

What Harley said about Kylo is so true. I am the same from the get go I’ve been enthralled by that story and it’s because one I love driver in the role and just the design of him but also like you said it’s something fairly unique especially in larger films. Usually villains are already bad or quickly become that way in these movies and to watch one actually progress over time has been enthralling. I also want to see the dark side delved into more in future projects but so far my absolute favorite thing about the sequels is Kylo ren as a character and seeing the opposite of the hero’s journey we’re so accustomed to. I think people undervalue how fresh that approach actually is.

[@AntonymicallyCorrect]

My top list for this show AND Shmoedown (they MUST DO BOTH, lol!): - DAVE FILONI - Pablo - Andi Goots - James Arnold Taylor - Dee Bradley Baker - John Boyega

[@9tailed2]

In this past week I've watched every star wars film (Including rogue one) for the first time and caught last Jedi in theaters today loved it!

[@95InTheShade]

The line from Vader "Obi-wan once thought as you did" is referring to the conversation they had in ROTS right before they fight when Obi-wan tried to reason with him

[@rafalstachura]

Harley has great perspective and ideas regarding Star Wars. Fantastic episode guys!

[@Arabella8069]

I loved this dude!!! Awesome and deep points, I hope he shows up in future episodes!

[@iamgroot2654]

Great episode. Harley made some excellent points about the Solo film. It makes sense to go old school. I am rooting for it to do well. Ron Howard is a great filmmaker.

[@williamQUIQUEREE1]

Wish this episode ended with Harley saying “NEXT TIME...”

[@JeremyGBranch]

Great show gang, Great to see Harley on here. A true fan, like you guys.

[@T1000yoshi]

Great to see Harley on Jedi Council and what a great guest.

[@davidisho13]

Great episode and insight!

[@Ruskinnn]

This changed my entire perspective with Harley. I didnt know he's also geeking out for Star Wars. I simply love him even more because of this.

[@brandonchristopher9657]

I'm honestly not excited for Episode 9... probably will see it but my enthusiasm is real low. I really don't think it'll ever recover for me.

[@narjo5019]

Great episode!

[@colinferguson7400]

Harley's TLJ breakdown at 16:20 was eloquent and really good. Harley's later comments about the Jango Fett seismic charges made me rewatch that clip from Attack of the Clones and I just realized something - the actors who play Jango and Boba are New Zealanders, but I think in Rebels the guy who plays the clone trooper Rex is American. but does an Australian accent. Maybe Dee Bradley Baker doesn't know what Kiwi's sound like vs Ozzie's. Never noticed that before.

[@ErNoLd72]

Absolutely Kristian! An Episode 6.5 anthology film about Luke tripping around the galaxy collecting artifacts and kickin' ass would be AWESOME...

[@LEOrgill]

Great episode today!

[@cliffalexander2890]

Guys, thanks for bringing on Harley on, just watched his review of LJ. Very good.

[@luckyday8522]

I just watched TLJ again last night, and I noticed something in the opening bomber sequence that I haven't seen brought up, and it involves the first person in TLJ who seemingly uses the Force, and it may surprise you. While Paige is kicking the ladder, she holds her necklace and closes her eyes, and it flashes quickly to Leia sensing something. At first few watches I thought maybe Leia had helped, but it's now clear that Paige used the Force and Leia picked up on it. It reinforces that the Force is inherent in all of us as Luke says. I wonder what if anything that could mean for Rose?

[@iNaiFz]

i loved this episode, i have none to talk starwars with so having this dose of it is good for me

[@vexistentialist]

Great to see Harley on, today. Between Food Network, KZbin and random r/ActionFigures posts, I can't get enough of the guy. Excellent episode, as always.

[@HarleyMorenstein]

Thanks bro! I appreciate the support!

[@PuRpLeMoNkEyish008]

Great show today!

[@candoentertainment9118]

Love Harley's points on Poe vs Kylo space battle, and Kylo needing to tap into more of his father's traits.

[@irishboy664]

cool! harley was my substitute teacher in high school, awesome to see him here on the council!

[@porgslife1395]

"He's more Anakin than he is Han" You're almost there Darth Harloff

[@I.21Jigawatts]

Omg, I thought they meant Harley was cast as a young Qui-Gon Jinn.

[@JackQSmith]

I don't necessarily want my theories (or theories I've heard from others) to be true because what's the fun in everything playing out as expected? I like to be surprised. The problem is that with 2 years between movies, speculation is all we have in the meantime, which makes it very hard for the storytellers to surprise us. It almost makes me think that Johnson was actively avoiding all the popular theories out there which really limited his options. I still think he could have come up with a more interesting story of his own though regardless of who Snoke and Rey were or weren't, just my opinion.

[@thebacons5943]

malaris60 I like what he came up with but I agree that they abandoned plot threads

[@TylerDaltonShaw]

Got to have Harley on as much as possible! I'm sure he's a busy guy but damn, this was a mighty fine episode of the Council.

[@trinidadbotello9906]

Great show, you guys.

[@lordjip]

Guys, if Han Solo in ANH is about 30-35 yrs old, then Han Solo in Solo is at least 10 years younger. Remember, he meets Chewbacca in this film, he gets the Falcon. In Empire, Han hasn't seen Lando for years. Han and Lando in this film are probably about Luke's age in ANH - they are not going to walk into the cantina at the end!!!

[@danielrosales420]

I agree about the thirty year gap. I don't look at it as missing story, because it didn't come up in the movie. There's lots of time for these stories to be told. I can't wait to read about Luke's adventures. I loved what little we got in Battlefront 2.

[@ErNoLd72]

I sort of agree with Kristian. I think we needed to see Broom Kid do his thing at some point in Episode 8...or even Episode 9, in order to establish the inspiration theme, but it didn't NEED to end Episode 8, and there would have been more powerful Episode 8 endings to have.

[@JoshJr98]

This was a fun episode!

[@gregshedd7629]

Harley was awesome get this guy back! What he said about Luke is so true. We all expected Luke to show up and kick ass and be insanely powerful. Many of us were disappointed when that didn’t happen and felt kind of cheated. I completely agree with Harley though this is a more mature version of that idea. He accomplished the same goal and nobody was harmed (except for himself actually) that’s a true Jedi. Feel however you do about the movie and how these things were executed but I think that is damn beautiful.

[@ClemenzasCannoli]

What a great panel. Harley was really good. This should be a permanent panel with Ellis as well

[@davidunderwood9728]

I love this guy's passion, can we get him again?

[@wilderfox2]

I LOVED Harleys video on Last Jedi, it was so blunt and awesome

[@peacefulguy4145]

Great episode, cool Star Warsy guest

[@dtevol]

Fantastic fantastic show today!!!

[@thewiseman80]

lately i think people have started to think the 'kessel run' is some kinda competition.... no no no! the kessel run is a route used by the smugglers and its a dangerous run in and out... han was a master at it, or least we assume he was. like going into a dangerous place to pick up something/someone and head back with that for cash. Han could manage it in least distance because the falcon covered more distance in less time i.e. making the physical distance seem shorter, hense 12 parsecs. I think were gonna see r2-d2 and 3PO at the space mines of kessel as cameos, because 3PO mentions it in a new hope so its likely he has memory of it for a reason...

[@klaudiasewera]

Kylo should be redeemed I ain’t here for a rotj repeat, I don’t want to see the last skywalker/solo die as a horrible villain that’s not what the story is about.

[@ErNoLd72]

I think having Leia Hyperspace bash the First Order Flagship, with or without Holdo, would have been an okay send-off, but I'll be satisfied with whatever method they now use to "write" her out, perhaps in the Episode 9 screen crawl. I wouldn't even mind a memorial scene, but, as Ken said, her story is complete, her legacy will live on....

[@manchegocheese8529]

I want two things from the Obi-Wan film: Obi-Wan communing with Qui-Gon and a proper, definitive explanation of Force ghosts and that lore; and, a flashback of Obi-Wan helping Anakin build the Skywalker lightsaber. We’ve only ever seen that process in Clone Wars and, really, that saber is the Excalibur of the series...

[@tsunamisimms1939]

I GOT GOOSE BUMPS SEEING THIS BRO! THAT IS MY DUUUUDE!

[@HydroBud98]

Harley was great. Should definitely have him on again and with a full panel.

[@studavis2602]

Harley was a great guest to have the show. Hope we see him again!

[@rodneysciba3152]

First time I ever posted a comment. I have watched since a few months before THE FORCE AWAKENS. I also wish we could debate these movies without venom spewed at one another. I, like Christian, enjoyed but did not love THE LAST JEDI the first watch. On second viewing, I liked it so much more. On my third viewing, it bridged the gap between the first and second viewing. Very good STAR WARS. film. I am still waiting for greatness though.

Rodney Sciba I agree with you on all counts 👍

I like what Kristian's saying about Ben diving deeper into his Vader worship. Give this boy a new helmet!

@kristianharloff - regarding Ezra, you mentioned "we now know Ezra isnt bennicio del toro's character" ....do we? Something stood out to me in TLJ with 'DJ' - he reminded me so much of Ezra with how good he was at getting in and out of locked doors! In Rebels, if theres a door code to break Ezra gets the nod every time. The character of DJ seemed to me, to be somebody who had gone through so much,(probably including loss) that he now follows nobody and reverted to how we found him at the beginning of Rebels?! Anyway...just a theory but we still dont know a lot about DJ other than the line "today they blow you up, tomorrow you blow them up - dont join" !!

Did I miss something, I did not notice Kylo's face decaying. And this is like the 3rd time Kristian has said that.

Harley should be a staple for the show. He's fantastic. :D

[@ryanaumann]

Great pace and dialogue.

[@MultiBum123]

Harley was a great guest! Have him back for more please 👍

I am hoping we get some insight into what the new cannon will be for Chewbacca's backstory specifically how he survived enslavement and death during the destruction of The Death Star.
