Star Wars and Why It Matters

The discussion references Jedi General Pong Krell and a planet becoming a battlefield, while contrasting Star Wars with other sci-fi series where death is rarely permanent.

Star Wars, zero company. There has n't been a single bad game made in Star Wars. There has n't been a single bad movie in Star Wars. There has never been a single wrong decision in the entire history of the Star Wars franchise. Star Wars was created with the idea that heroes can die. Maybe they're thinking about Star Trek. I'll leave Peradate, but if someone good dies, they'll come back somehow. The planet is about to become a battlefield. It will soon become a battlefield Jedi General Pong Krell. George, can you bring up a photo of Jedi General Pong Krell for those who don't know anything about Star Wars? I know what he looks like, but they don't.

His name is Hawks. Tony Hawks. I once served under Jedi Master Pong Krell. Don't laugh at what he looks like or what his name is. He was friends with Dick Longo. Here's Dick Longo's dog, Deet. He doesn't hear. This is Tony Hawks. He served with Kong Shumanka. And don't laugh at this. Tony Hawks' father is Harold Hawks. Here he is. Rather. Hang in there, Daddy. Still, I persuaded him to buy a chip from Dar Miki. I don't remember if it was before Kris Kringle took over the Gungulan galaxy.

We are already in the game. Oh, it's like XCOM. I understand. I have a little friend here, Greedo. Move Grio here. Blow it up, Grio. Damn, he blew up a lot of things. Many things, but not a battle droid. He's just sitting in the open. Hunt him down. Yes. Come on, little Grio. Hit him. never doubted you for a moment, Kibi. Good job, Peppa Blue. You did everything, but Grio did nothing. I'm setting up surveillance. No, don't set it up. No, no.

Griot launches a brutal attack. Just walk up and shoot this guy in the back. He takes a shot. Is that all the damage you're doing? Do more damage. Greedo, now it's your turn. Take your shot, Greedo. Grio, this is the worst shooting in history. Grio, throw your grenade Grio. Oh my God. This is my best soldier. If he dies, I'll do it like in Star Wars. Oh. Oh, it's without a box. It is without boxless. It is boxless. Take another shot. Oh, right in the chest. Look at him. Oh, he's sitting in the middle of nowhere. Done. Unless you miss every time. The game tells me to send Greo to certain death so he can operate the crane. I don't want to do it, but she's making me.

Greo, he's gone. Oh, wow. Although it was worth it. Invisible mano, beware of n't worry, Greo. I'll save you with this grenade launcher shot. he safe? Is he alive? Oh, no. Take another shot. That's it. Right in the face. Get him, blue boy. Yes. I didn't even see what happened when you did it. Dude, I didn't even want to do this. The game told me to put it there. Stupid tutorial. You killed him. He was a good operator. He knew about the risks. I went there with my eyes wide open. I did everything exactly as the tutorial instructed.

Aurelio is no more. Hey, captain. Too bad Aurelio. The tutorial told me to do this. Yes, give me a minute. They will be missed But it's not even my fault. The tutorial said to send him there, dude. I did n't even want to do it. If only Greo could return. Wait, here he is. Too bad Aurelio. Who is Aurelio? There is someone here who wants to talk to you. can you help us a little? Gorga, I know your favorite game in the series was Tony Hawk Underground. Don't you think I don't know this, Gorga? Teacher Joanna Uber. I know this is the part where we could get off the skateboard. This was one of the key features. Captain Shadow, I know the quality of the shadows could have been a little better.

He sends us to Gualuto. That's so generous of you, Gorga. Allurement. Oh, you idiot. The sound of the wagon. Gorga, you're somehow even bluer than my boyfriend. Let 's go and execute Gorgukhatina now. Gorga's suspicions. Oh no. Get out of there. Get out of there, dude. Get out. What is happening? No. Oh, they missed. Oh, okay. Oh, no. They hit me. Overwatch has been canceled again. Take that guy away. Oh, right in the face. Get it again. Devil. Dodge. Try again. Hey. Somehow Greo returned. A difficult case. Aurelio had style.

I have to admit this. He was a good soldier. Remember that mission we sent him on? Dude, if you can add Gorga to your squad, put him on watch mode. Yes, put him in surveillance mode. Good position. Oh, he just ran out of there. See what I'm saying about the camera? Camera sucks, man. But nothing. The game is still pretty cool. Oh no. Reinforcements are coming from that side. Oh no. Do it. Please. Please, hit. You are zero. Please get into this. Please hit this. Thank you. Don't call me a donkey Don't bark at Dunky. This is a good channel. You have to be a pro at this.

How did it work? Oh no. He is under gunfire. No. Even though he just shot his own. He should have shot himself there. I live in heaven. I can't be reached. I live like Gorka. Don't touch my transport. There's some kind of triangular mouse here. You always say there's a mouse here, Gorga. That's why I love you. The secret to the Star Wars atmosphere is the smoke and sparks flying everywhere. They did a great job with this place. Look at the smoke in that compartment.

Darth Vader must be sitting over there. Droid Gonk. He says "gonk". How did he find out? This is something you ca n't miss. How could you miss? How could you have missed it? Well, because. Hit him. How could you miss? Well, because. You can do it. How could you miss? That guy's punch. Blue Blanca. Hit him. Yes. Where is the camera going? If you miss now, I swear. Okay, he hit her. Come on. Hit the target. That's it. Two hits. You will answer for this doubly Oh, good help. Now can you blow up the one standing right there? It I knew you were watching Danki. Nincompoop. He moved. How could you miss?

We have guests. No, we don't have anyone We have zero accuracy. Kill mode activated. If you turn on kill mode, I turn on the mode where I hit 3% of targets 50% of the time. He only has a 10% chance of hitting, but if he does, the robot is done. From a mathematical perspective, I'll do it because. well. Because if I hit it, it's cool. He missed. How is that, only a 25% chance? He's just there. 45% chance. Do it. Why? Don't ask why. Just die. Now I have one move to get to Sotus. Does this mean he will die this turn? Wait, he's still alive. What? Wait, mission failed. A.

Yes. Everyone stand on top of each other. Thank you. This is nothing. I'm throwing grenades at all these guys. like the characters, gameplay, and plot in this game much more than in the Ubisoft game. But I will say that in Star Wars from Ubisoft, the sofa was better. They really did a cool job on the couch graphics in that game. This sofa, you know, is also not bad. This is a nice- looking sofa. But he's probably not at that level. I have to prefer the couch from another Star Wars game. Hit the target. That's it. Hit the target. That's it. Hit that target too. Oh my God. I want to recruit this guy. Take that one too.

Yes. I adore this guy. 5% chance of hitting. Look. Well, because. This is the first time he has missed. 85% chance. you know, I don't know if I agree with those numbers. This could be.This could be wrong. Maybe it was an 85% chance of a miss. 85% chance. Too risky for me. Let's do 90. Are you serious? It even shows how bad things are going. I just got the achievement for missing with a 90% chance or higher.
