00;02;02;04 - 00;02;08;00
Pete
I'm doing great. I'm really looking forward to the show. And I do not have any weapons now.
00;02;10;03 - 00;02;14;07
Derrick
I do, but mine's a green blade, so against the green screen, it wouldn't really work.
00;02;15;05 - 00;02;15;17
Pete
Yeah.
00;02;15;18 - 00;02;20;17
Derrick
And this week, we have also got our producer, Gina, coming on. Gina, how are you doing?
00;02;20;18 - 00;02;29;08
Gina
Hi. Great. I'm so excited for our guest. I've known him for a long time and I'm very excited to have won the show. He'll be here shortly.
00;02;29;25 - 00;02;38;10
Derrick
Yeah. But first, as we always do, we have got the Disney plus news. Kate, what do we got going on this week? Well.
00;02;39;09 - 00;03;07;25
Kate
It's time for the Disney. Plus news today in Disney plus news. Hocus Pocus two released a trailer today showing at least a little of the plot, including an appearance from the original Sanderson Sisters. Movie premieres on Disney plus September 30th. I am actually I am excited about this, but they can't they can't butcher it like this could go one of two ways.
00;03;07;26 - 00;03;12;22
Kate
It could be really good or total trash. I just feel like there's an in-between.
00;03;12;23 - 00;03;13;19
Gina
Yeah, I agree.
00;03;14;04 - 00;03;36;04
Kate
So that's my feelings on that. Second up, Samuel L. Jackson. Jackson shared that he was headed to London for reshoot shoots empresarial. I have a cough drop in my mouth because my throat is on fire, so I'm stuttering on words. Let me try all of this again. Samuel L. Jackson shared that he was headed to London for reshoots of the Secret Invasion series.
00;03;37;01 - 00;03;46;07
Kate
Reports are that the research shoots are extensive, possibly lasting several months. No release date for the series has been announced.
00;03;46;20 - 00;04;02;23
Derrick
Yeah, that's going to be. I think the reason they're going so deep into it is that that's going to be I think that's going to be a huge show for the upcoming for like part MCU five or whatever or whatever we're up to now.
00;04;03;06 - 00;04;29;02
Kate
Absolutely. All right. And last but certainly not least, a series that is equal to The Goonies. Oh, my gosh. It's sequel, y'all. I'm doing really good today. A series that is a sneak wheel to The Goonies has been given the green light by Disney. It will follow a group of kids looking to do a shot for shot remake of the original titled Our Time.
00;04;29;07 - 00;04;34;13
Kate
The series is being written by Sarah Watson. And that's it for the Disney Plus News.
00;04;34;21 - 00;04;38;04
Derrick
Okay, honest answer. Who here is a truly a Goonies fan?
00;04;38;14 - 00;04;39;14
Kate
Never say die.
00;04;40;10 - 00;04;49;26
Gina
I like The Goonies. I like this. I like the I like the remake, too. When they go down the water slide and the octopus is in there, I like the alternate ending.
00;04;50;26 - 00;04;52;25
Warren
Sure, it's all.
00;04;52;25 - 00;04;53;18
Gina
Right. I've seen all the.
00;04;53;18 - 00;04;56;06
Pete
Endings where I loved it when I was a kid. Has that.
00;04;56;12 - 00;04;57;26
Warren
Hook? Yeah. This is what's.
00;04;57;26 - 00;04;58;11
Gina
Up for me.
00;04;58;19 - 00;05;20;20
Derrick
It was actually inspired by there was a group of kids that were doing a shot for shot remake of one of the Indiana Jones films. And Steven Spielberg actually saw it and loved it and talked to the guy who's producing this. And they have finally have permission from I think it's Warner Brothers to use The Goonies. Spielberg has given his blessing.
00;05;20;29 - 00;05;24;09
Derrick
So it could be interesting, hopefully.
00;05;24;09 - 00;05;35;12
Gina
I mean, if the lady lets them use the house. I went to the house actually up in Oregon and I walked near the house and they didn't want us trespassing. So maybe the lady what it means the house.
00;05;35;12 - 00;05;38;01
Kate
Yeah, I know what movie house I've always wanted to see.
00;05;38;09 - 00;05;42;26
Gina
Which one, the Shining. I've been there to house.
00;05;42;27 - 00;05;49;10
Kate
It's the boat house. That is from the 1994 Cinema Classic, starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. Sleepless in Seattle.
00;05;51;07 - 00;05;51;27
Warren
Nights.
00;05;52;06 - 00;06;00;13
Pete
We have the well, not not in Buffalo, but we have the I've been in Cleveland and seen the Christmas Story House.
00;06;00;27 - 00;06;01;01
Warren
Me.
00;06;01;01 - 00;06;09;19
Gina
Two I loved it. I loved that so much. And you can rent it out. Really, you can rent it out. It's a lot of money the closer you get to Christmas.
00;06;10;01 - 00;06;10;20
Derrick
Oh, I'm sure.
00;06;11;00 - 00;06;16;02
Gina
Yeah, but you can rent it out and like, live by Ralphie and Randy.
00;06;16;02 - 00;06;26;05
Pete
And you know what? I've been on the merry go round that that the P.L. Travers and Walt Disney were on in saving Mr. Banks.
00;06;26;17 - 00;06;28;12
Kate
Oh, oh, love.
00;06;28;12 - 00;06;38;05
Derrick
That. Right at the front gate where they were in the savings. Still with us tonight we've got Steve says hi tuners. Ed says, take.

Gina
Wow. They live up there.
00;06;53;17 - 00;06;54;17

00;06;55;00 - 00;06;59;28
Derrick
Have a go fund me on this. See Pete in a bunny suit cost us.
00;07;00;22 - 00;07;09;26
Pete
We've got to earn a lot of money for that. But I would do it. I would do it for enough money. Not like 50 bucks.
00;07;09;26 - 00;07;11;07
Gina
There is. There is a price.
00;07;11;07 - 00;07;12;01
Pete
There is a price.
00;07;12;01 - 00;07;13;11
Gina
Yeah.
00;07;13;11 - 00;07;17;17
Derrick
And as Ed says, he wants to see Captain America's house on the moon. Oh, that.
00;07;17;18 - 00;07;19;14
Kate
Moon. Me too. It.
00;07;19;14 - 00;07;39;27
Derrick
Me too guys, as we teased. We do have a very special guest tonight. We have Warren Prue. He is he was Ewan McGregor's standing in the Obi-Wan Kenobi series. He's also been multiple other movies. We actually just found out before the show. He's been in Black Widow. He's been in lots of different stuff. He is The.
00;07;39;27 - 00;07;40;16
Gina
Mandalorian.
00;07;41;19 - 00;07;58;22
Derrick
Aurion. Yes, he is currently on his way, so he's actually running a little bit late tonight. So, yeah, I know. We're going to start talking about the actual series. We had the finale of it this week. And Gina, I'm actually going to start with you on this one.
00;07;58;27 - 00;07;59;18
Gina
Yes.
00;07;59;29 - 00;08;04;18
Derrick
So thoughts about the finale, thoughts about this. Let's start with thoughts about the finale. Okay.
00;08;04;27 - 00;08;29;19
Gina
So let me start with I love Darth Vader. So Darth Vader is my favorite character and I really enjoyed in the finale seeing why Obi-Wan said he was dead and that for me was full circle. And that made this better, the better ending, and it tied it all together for me. So I was really worried cause I'm like, I don't care, you know?
00;08;29;20 - 00;08;46;24
Gina
No one cares about Leia. She's cute, she's spunky, but we already know she's going to be okay. She's going to be the senator. She's going to be a princess. We know. And then we know about Luke. We know his whole journey. So I was really happy to see why did Obi-Wan say that? As a series, I really enjoy.
00;08;47;22 - 00;08;47;27
Derrick
This.
00;08;48;21 - 00;08;51;02
Gina
Finale. All right. Now, now, go ahead. That's it.
00;08;51;03 - 00;09;21;05
Pete
P t I would say that this was my favorite episode of the series so far. I, I did. I knew there they had some flaws with the entire concept and that there was only like you knew that a battle between Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi could not end in either of them being seriously injured or killed. So that really limited what they could do with that.
00;09;21;05 - 00;09;50;27
Pete
And I thought with that limitation, they did a really good job of making it in such a way that, you know, I enjoyed that. I was like, you know, going, Yeah, and that kind of thing. And I did like I liked the ending in the wrap ups and everything like that. And I and I kind of, even though it was probably the least surprising secret cameo in the history of secret cameos, I enjoyed the cameo at the end.
00;09;51;14 - 00;10;03;20
Pete
And so so overall it was it was definitely a good episode and I enjoyed I thought they wrapped it up well. So Derek.
00;10;03;20 - 00;10;11;09
Derrick
This episode was what we all wanted the entire series to be. It also proved to me that this should have been a movie instead of a series.
00;10;11;29 - 00;10;13;13
Gina
Because I agree with that.
00;10;13;21 - 00;10;50;18
Derrick
There was in this that we got the showdown between Obi-Wan and Vader. We got him calling him Darth Vader. And in that, that makes it seem like he's acknowledging his title as, okay, you are gone. You are now this dark. The dark Lord. Yeah. We've said all along that the lack of surprise is really big, you know, really hurt the show all along.
00;10;50;18 - 00;11;11;09
Derrick
I think that it's one of those where they finally decide to listen to what the fans really wanted. They wanted all this stuff. That was in the last episode. They didn't really necessarily want everything else. So yeah. Kate, what do you think of the last episode?
00;11;13;04 - 00;11;55;09
Kate
I will agree that this could have been a movie. I wish so. I had worked with this. I wish I had gone back and watched the first three movie episodes. I wish I had watched the first three movies and so that I knew what we were because I've seen them. I've seen them a couple of times, but I needed the refresher and I wish that after having watched those three, I also wish I had watched the fourth episode movie because I feel like I missed so many Easter eggs that big, big.
00;11;55;25 - 00;12;04;27
Kate
I almost did Marvel big big Star Wars the in court which you guys caught it like I kept texting our group chat saying hey is this significant? I can't remember if this.
00;12;06;14 - 00;12;08;00
Derrick
I think it was land ladies.
00;12;08;00 - 00;12;35;12
Kate
Holding his holster. But overall, this has been my favorite Star Wars series of any star Wars series. I think because I knew the players in it, I knew who Obi Wan was. I knew who Luke was, I knew who it was. I was low key, super hoping that we were going to see a child, Chewbacca or a child, Han Solo like Low Ki hoping for that.
00;12;35;23 - 00;12;53;20
Kate
But I know that that's far fetched and that's just me being like, Oh, that would have been so funny. But other than that, I thought it was great in my opinion. Granted, I haven't seen all of The Mandalorian, but in my opinion, this was my favorite of all of these Star Wars TV shows, too.
00;12;53;21 - 00;12;55;19
Pete
He's already an adult at this point. So yes.
00;12;56;06 - 00;12;58;03
Derrick
We know.
00;12;59;10 - 00;13;00;06
Warren
Anyway. Yeah.
00;13;01;09 - 00;13;02;19
Derrick
Sam Oh, go ahead.
00;13;02;19 - 00;13;19;06
Gina
Gina Oh, no. I was just going to say the other thing that I really liked about the finale and the series as a whole was the use of all of the actors from the previous trilogy, which I really like from the 1 to 3. Everyone was their own actor. I was really happy with that.
00;13;20;26 - 00;13;35;16
Derrick
Sam says if Darth Vader's bad at killing people, why does he leave Reva and Obi-Wan without checking if they're dead? But you got more sense in their duel on Guest Star. Then why he kicks the robes? Is he will?
00;13;35;21 - 00;13;36;08
Gina
Sure. He's dead.
00;13;36;16 - 00;13;38;20
Warren
Fully gone? Yeah. Yeah.
00;13;38;20 - 00;13;40;09
Gina
So really dead this time. Yeah.
00;13;41;02 - 00;14;04;11
Derrick
And he knew Obi Wan wasn't dead because Obi Wan actually got carried off in that first one and says, see, the Obi Wan put the critical head across Darth Vader's head. The hit gave him the scar you see in Return of the Jedi. When Luke takes off the helmet. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Nick says you're all saber your eye out Kenobi.
00;14;04;28 - 00;14;09;07
Derrick
Well, more likely. Know Kenobi the Luke Lucas savior.
00;14;09;11 - 00;14;10;16
Gina
Luke will saber his eye out.
00;14;12;01 - 00;14;24;13
Derrick
Steve says, read an interesting article about have his mask being destroyed by Kenobi in the animated series, his student destroyed the opposite side. I'm going to take silk. That's something I want to see in rebels.
00;14;24;15 - 00;14;24;25
Gina
Yeah.
00;14;25;04 - 00;14;35;27
Derrick
Okay. I didn't return at the battle with Luke's old mask being removed. Okay. And as Vicki says, the next sick character is Baby Chewie.
00;14;36;10 - 00;14;39;15
Kate
Don't forget, she said she really enjoyed the series as a whole.
00;14;39;25 - 00;14;49;27
Derrick
Yeah. And yeah, definitely. And so I'm going to go with you. Thoughts on the entire series? Thoughts on the series as Obi-Wan?
00;14;50;05 - 00;15;00;09
Pete
I don't think I've ever agreed with you as much as I have with this series. Like like our our thoughts are very simpatico. I don't know if it's like mental illness on my part or what it is.
00;15;00;28 - 00;15;03;24
Derrick
But oh, you're probably to me.
00;15;03;24 - 00;15;05;02
Pete
Oh, he's I thought he was going to push the.
00;15;05;02 - 00;15;06;02
Derrick
Button to the nightclub.
00;15;06;23 - 00;15;26;07
Pete
But yeah, I like to me, I think this would have worked better as a movie or a TV movie or something. I it, you know, I said it kind of all along. The problem is the problem with pulling in Leia and Lee and Luke especially is now you have even more characters you can't really have anything happen to.
00;15;26;18 - 00;15;54;14
Pete
So you made a whole bunch of characters on this show that you're very limited in what you can do. So the only character really was Reva that you could develop particularly. I do think they had I again, I loved Ewan McGregor throughout the series and I think they did bring him on a little bit of a growth journey, but not not huge.
00;15;55;07 - 00;16;23;09
Pete
And so I guess like because they couldn't change that much, I would have I don't know, I would I wish they'd been able to like bring in more original, original characters so that we could have there could have been some drama like even even like I on the last episode, I really enjoyed the Obi-Wan and Darth Vader section, but then they kept intercutting with Riva chasing after Luke.
00;16;23;18 - 00;16;44;19
Pete
And I'm like, We know how this is going to end. There's no way she's going to, you know, there's no way something's going to happen to Luke here. There's there's no suspense. So stop cutting to this other thing. At least the the lightsaber battle. There was like some suspense. I mean, you knew, again, that in the end they had to come out okay, but you didn't know how it was going to happen.
00;16;44;19 - 00;17;08;25
Pete
And it was I don't know. I thought that was exciting. And then they were cutting this other thing that was like and I don't know, that's just unfortunately, that's the way I feel. I well-produced, you know I think it's worth it to watch it once for Star Wars fan if you if you're especially if you're a fan of that character is that Ewan McGregor did a great job and actually they did a great job with Darth Vader, too.
00;17;08;25 - 00;17;19;11
Pete
They did. They did a great job with both characters. So really good character work. The plot was kind of that's that's my opinion. How about you, Derek?
00;17;19;17 - 00;17;26;18
Derrick
Yeah, I totally agree. The lack of drama has kept it from really being an interesting movie for me or excuse me, we've.
00;17;26;18 - 00;17;29;14
Warren
Been in a show.
00;17;29;14 - 00;17;36;12
Derrick
It's one of those where okay, those of you who have watched stuff that happens after this is Reeva ever show up again?
00;17;37;14 - 00;17;37;26
Pete
No.
00;17;38;06 - 00;17;39;17
Warren
No. That.
00;17;39;17 - 00;17;40;11
Derrick
Oh, okay.
00;17;40;23 - 00;17;41;02
Pete
Instead.
00;17;41;09 - 00;17;43;10
Gina
Well, they have to they're going to have to wait.
00;17;43;10 - 00;17;51;16
Kate
Which one is this third sister. Sister? Yeah. What's the name of the woman who died? Paula. Oh, yeah.
00;17;51;17 - 00;17;51;26
Warren
Okay.
00;17;52;05 - 00;18;32;23
Derrick
Well, I also think that showing how hard won and Beru fights for them to get killed in four had to have been. That had been an amazing battle. I can't believe there weren't dead stormtroopers laying around somewhere. So that's just one of those where it gives more life to Bruno, one which I love. It's a so we will come back to our thoughts about the series because we have got Warren with us one.
00;18;32;23 - 00;18;34;03
Gina
Hey, you made it.
00;18;34;17 - 00;18;38;01
Warren
I've made it. Yes. Thank you for seeing me. Sorry I'm late.
00;18;38;15 - 00;18;41;11
Derrick
Oh, not a problem. Early on, I.
00;18;41;11 - 00;18;43;09
Gina
Already chastised you for being an actor. It's all.
00;18;43;21 - 00;18;47;08
Warren
You actors. What they say. Mm.
00;18;48;04 - 00;18;50;17
Pete
We needed. We needed a call sheet so he could be on time.
00;18;53;01 - 00;19;14;14
Derrick
And in the right place. Yes. So, Warren, this is going to be kind of and please our fans out there, please give us your questions. We've got questions for Warren, but the ones you've got are probably way better. So give us questions. And this is really warm. We just want to get to know you get to know your acting journey, get to know some of your experiences on the Obi-Wan set.
00;19;15;03 - 00;19;25;06
Derrick
So and I guess that's kind of where we're going to start. Where I'd like to start is what were some of your favorite movies growing up? What what movies did you love as a kid?
00;19;25;25 - 00;19;29;10
Warren
Movies that I loved as a kid. Star Wars.
00;19;30;05 - 00;19;31;13
Derrick
Okay.
00;19;31;13 - 00;19;41;17
Warren
Raiders. Raiders of the Lost Ark. Tron, Buckaroo, Banzai. Oh, yeah. Told you. Big trouble, little China.
00;19;42;10 - 00;19;42;22
Derrick
Okay.
00;19;43;10 - 00;19;50;11
Warren
Yeah. All those Goonies. Told you. You need three coming.
00;19;50;11 - 00;19;51;06
Derrick
Out, apparently.
00;19;51;20 - 00;19;54;27
Warren
Well, we'll see about that. Yeah, we'll see.
00;19;56;24 - 00;20;06;24
Derrick
Okay. Okay. And then we have a question from Steve is how did you start being a stand in what how did your acting career get rolling? How do you become a stand in? Oh.
00;20;08;06 - 00;20;42;10
Warren
Well, let's see. Stand in is a is a position on set where you stand in for your principal actor. So what you're doing is your your your you're there to help set up all of the lighting things to make sure that all the lighting is going to be perfect. And all of the camera movements and the focusing and and all of the marks that the actor has to hit, you're in essence, a like a rehearsal actor.
00;20;43;11 - 00;21;23;28
Warren
Now, most of the time you're standing there to absorb the light and to see where you're where you're standing. But there are times when you also have to run what's called second team rehearsals. Second team is, is what standards are called with the obviously the first team being the principal actors. So sometimes I'll have to run a whole rehearsal as Obi-Wan, you know, to get all if there's a lot of background actors that you know, or a very complicated scene and then you do that most of the time it's standing there doing basic movements and then just getting everything set up.
00;21;24;29 - 00;21;56;16
Warren
How I started, I started as a stand in from doing background work. They usually start pulling people up from background to stand in and then from there I worked in various TV shows, but my first big basically what you do is once you're there, then you're meeting everybody, you're meeting all the assistant directors, you're meeting all of the casting people and it's it's just making, making connections.
00;21;56;16 - 00;22;13;22
Warren
So one of the casting directors that I had been working with needed someone to stand in on call the while. So my first big standing job was standing in for Dan Stevens Hal in that the bad guy and call the wild.
00;22;13;24 - 00;22;16;13
Derrick
Okay is that the Harrison Ford one of the Charlie.
00;22;16;13 - 00;22;18;16
Warren
Harrison the hey what.
00;22;18;25 - 00;22;19;08
Gina
Not that.
00;22;19;08 - 00;22;24;22
Warren
Old I guess they're saying. I mean, I don't. Yeah, yeah. Okay. I know.
00;22;24;22 - 00;22;26;02
Derrick
The Grays worked for.
00;22;26;02 - 00;22;31;29
Gina
You in conversation earlier saying that we were in the middle of really old and just old. We're not that old.
00;22;32;11 - 00;22;33;22
Pete
And I'm the one that's really old.
00;22;33;24 - 00;22;38;08
Warren
So we're getting there. Where? Yeah. So call.
00;22;38;08 - 00;22;38;20
Derrick
The wild.
00;22;39;01 - 00;23;15;28
Warren
So call the wild was the first big one and that was that. And then I also photo doubled. So you've got photo doubling in front of the camera where you're portraying somebody. Usually it's a hand or a back of your head or a side of your head or like in exactly in call the wild. There's a scene where Hal is crouching around trying to is just about to kick in the cabin door to see if he can find Harrison Ford while those hands and the feet walking in the in the through the trees is me holding the holding the rifle.
00;23;15;28 - 00;23;18;27
Warren
And then when the door kicks in, it's obviously Dan.
00;23;22;02 - 00;23;26;21
Derrick
Very, very cool. So when you were in the wedding?
00;23;26;21 - 00;23;53;20
Warren
Singer Oh yes. That was my first background gig was standing in I was standing sorry was, was being the one of the groom's men in the first the opening sequence the opening with the with the him singing You Spin Me right round. Yes. So I'm one of the guys dancing off, off, beat to the door and him singing that thing.
00;23;53;27 - 00;24;05;25
Warren
And that was about a week's worth of filming because we filmed the entire wedding down there. Oh, that was. Yeah, yeah. So you can catch on there as well. Yeah.
00;24;06;07 - 00;24;19;17
Pete
So eventually you want to focus on Obi-Wan, but what other things, what other movies would or show or TV shows would we, you know, have maybe seen you in, you know, as a working actor, might have.
00;24;19;17 - 00;24;37;27
Warren
Well, you know, you might have seen me driving a golf cart in Modern Family or I'm driving Sophia Vergara and Jesse Tyler Ferguson, you know, as they're looking for Oprah's house. Small, small parts here. And.
00;24;38;00 - 00;24;38;09
Pete
Yeah.
00;24;39;01 - 00;24;47;15
Derrick
Okay. Now, Robert, who apparently knows you from college, wants to know how your role as a wedding reception dancer prepares you for Obi-Wan.
00;24;48;03 - 00;25;19;01
Warren
Well, Robert, that's a that's a fascinating question. I want to thank you for for doing that really, the the motions of the dance in. So you spin me right round it. There's something about the channels. I'm going to call it your cheat. And that really helped with the force aspect of Obi-Wan. Thank you, Robert.
00;25;19;01 - 00;25;36;08
Kate
Okay, I've got one. Well, okay, I have to. Was there ever like, what was the moment? Did you have a moment, I guess, where you were like, oh like this is really what I do is really cool. Like have a, you know that moment I'm telling.
00;25;36;08 - 00;25;37;27
Gina
Girl your fangirl moment.
00;25;37;27 - 00;25;56;11
Kate
Well yeah. So that was going to be my the second part to me. One thing is have you ever been on set with someone that you were like, this is really cool like I like and girl moment I know you have to like keep your cool and stuff because professionalism but has there ever been a moment where you were like totally freaking out on the inside?
00;25;56;23 - 00;26;05;08
Warren
You know, there's something about Leonardo DiCaprio that I was you know, he there's just a presence that he has. Yeah.
00;26;05;17 - 00;26;08;01
Kate
Yeah, it presents me up one side. Yeah.
00;26;09;09 - 00;26;37;28
Warren
But when he shook, I did Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, I was one of the I played the assistant director of the lancer set back in the sixties. Whatever it was. So when he walked on set, it was kind of like, oh, that he's he's a big that's a big star. That is big. Awesome. He's a big and he had just won, you know, for Revenant Revenant it's just I don't know it was a that's cool.
00;26;38;12 - 00;26;38;20
Warren
Yeah.
00;26;38;29 - 00;26;40;29
Kate
That's cool. That's cool. All right.
00;26;42;06 - 00;26;48;13
Pete
So, so but to her first question, like, what what was the first moment you were like, oh, right. Oh, my job is really cool.
00;26;49;05 - 00;27;03;19
Warren
The when I put on the the the the Obi-Wan robe and then you're like, I'm putting on the, the, the Obi-Wan role. I'm like, I'm Obi-Wan.
00;27;04;03 - 00;27;05;15
Gina
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00;27;06;04 - 00;27;17;21
Warren
And that any time I was doing that the first time I did it, I was like, Are you kidding me? I mean, the eight year old in me was was freaking out. Yeah.
00;27;17;24 - 00;27;18;28
Derrick
When where's my lightsaber?
00;27;19;25 - 00;27;26;16
Warren
And then when they and your lightsaber forget about it. What are you supposed to do.
00;27;27;18 - 00;27;30;12
Gina
Go to how many. Yeah.
00;27;30;27 - 00;27;34;19
Warren
Not do it.
00;27;34;19 - 00;27;37;01
Kate
That's awesome. That's awesome. Thank you.
00;27;37;13 - 00;27;37;24
Warren
Sure.
00;27;39;20 - 00;27;49;11
Derrick
Okay. So I guess my next question is, so you're on set. How much of the script do you see? Do you only see your days lines? Do you do you know what's happening?
00;27;49;11 - 00;28;13;27
Warren
The entire story I see is what's called the sides, is what you get every day. And that's the little piece of the script that you're going to be shooting that day. So there may be parts of it scratched out that, you know, we already did that or we're not doing that anymore. But it's the little piece. Every day you get a little piece of what's going on.
00;28;13;27 - 00;28;34;21
Warren
And again, I was only standing in for you. And so anytime there was anything with the bad guys doing anything, I had no idea except for the one time I stood in awe, I was, I got in the stormtrooper uniform on Obi-Wan. Yeah. So I was in one of those.
00;28;35;13 - 00;28;40;03
Derrick
So you weren't the stand in for the lightsaber fight with Darth Vader?
00;28;40;03 - 00;28;42;15
Warren
You know what? That's not entirely true.
00;28;42;28 - 00;28;45;25
Gina
Oh, we can say we know because I.
00;28;46;20 - 00;29;07;28
Warren
I did do a little bit, but mostly they have the Ross who is the stunt. The stunt guy for for you and and Tom who was the stunt guy for for Darth Vader. And they usually had them obviously do it. But to line up some of the shots, they we had to do a couple of little moves here and there.
00;29;08;18 - 00;29;17;05
Pete
Okay. So so when you like watch the show like you don't really know the story or anything like that, I mean, you know, bits and pieces of it, but.
00;29;17;05 - 00;29;28;15
Warren
I know bits and pieces of it. Yeah. Like anything with the Grand Inquisitor or a lot of Riva's stuff. Yeah. I didn't know what was going on. I don't know what.
00;29;28;19 - 00;29;29;12
Gina
You weren't there.
00;29;29;28 - 00;29;34;23
Warren
Yeah, I know. I don't know if it didn't have to do with me. I didn't know.
00;29;35;02 - 00;29;39;26
Derrick
Okay. Yeah. Are there moments that you can look at the screen and go, That's me.
00;29;41;00 - 00;30;22;24
Warren
I know, I know that they're definitely like, my hands are all over it. So I'm making the the space. STU When he's making the space stew that bubbles up, you know, it's my hand making the space stew when when he's when Obi is is climbing down off of the when they've been they've been stopped and he's climbing down to get the storm troopers are having him climb down any unhook this is holstered that's me and look in the holster getting ready to shoot the shoot the stormtroopers.
00;30;22;24 - 00;30;30;06
Warren
And then there's going to be a there's one where I'm from far away. I'm riding on the the EOD.
00;30;30;25 - 00;30;32;10
Derrick
The camel at the end.
00;30;32;10 - 00;30;32;25
Warren
Yes.
00;30;33;07 - 00;30;33;17
Derrick
Yeah.
00;30;34;01 - 00;30;46;00
Warren
Yes, the camel. This person here. Yeah. Well, just happened to say I think that was you on the camel at the end. That was. I'm going to say that was me. I'm going to agree with you. I'm going to.
00;30;46;06 - 00;30;48;02
Gina
Have to say it was you, too, even if it wasn't.
00;30;49;08 - 00;31;00;11
Pete
So I have a question about that. When they do that, when they do that camel thing, are you actually on like a camel and they just rapids head in the greenscreen and replace the head? Or are you on like a mechanism?
00;31;00;21 - 00;31;19;21
Warren
Oh, no, I was on a camel. Okay. I learned how to ride a camel. They they taught me how to ride a camel, which riding the camel isn't that hard. It's the getting up because they're like eight feet tall, but they kneel down, so you have to swing your foot over to get on. And then you're like, okay, I'm only a couple inches off the ground.
00;31;20;05 - 00;31;50;07
Warren
And then they do this thing where they kind of fly off the front if you're not careful. So yes, there's a real camel. And then what they do is they have little CGI markers, okay. Where they're going to change the around and then they also had a prosthetic head when it was eating, you know, when he was feeding the whale to it and it would come out.
00;31;50;07 - 00;32;22;25
Warren
And so there was a prosthetic head, you know, that that they were using. That's cool. Cool. That's what impressed me a lot on the show is all the practical makeup and the practical special effects were amazing. They had same thing with with a book of Boba Fett where they have servos, like 32 little motors in these masks that people are wearing.
00;32;24;04 - 00;32;53;10
Warren
And they've got, you know, one person controls the eyes, one person controls the eyebrows, one person controls some little things on the on the alien. And then the best part is when they're doing when they're speaking, if you have, like Zach Braff doing a voiceover, he's wearing this thing where as he's moving his mouth, it translates to a servo in the mask that the guys that someone else is wearing and it will make his mouth move.
00;32;53;28 - 00;32;58;07
Warren
So it takes 15 people to make these, but it's practical and it's so.
00;32;58;12 - 00;33;02;24
Pete
It's so he's on set when he's playing that character. Yes. He's interesting.
00;33;02;26 - 00;33;11;15
Warren
He's he's off on it in a little booth. He's watching the monitor and then he's delivering his lines and so that it will sync up.
00;33;11;26 - 00;33;22;14
Pete
Wow. Okay. Now, I didn't I didn't realize it's amazing that they still use a lot of that prosthetics for for the for the aliens.
00;33;22;22 - 00;33;28;11
Warren
I think they realized that it it just didn't look that good in.
00;33;28;27 - 00;33;29;15
Gina
CGI.
00;33;29;18 - 00;34;03;20
Warren
When you are on CGI. Right? Yeah. So that's another kind of like the also with using the technology of of the volume. It's right. It's not this. It's not like this. It's not like a green screen behind you. It's actually projected and it's in three dimensional the way that it's that it's aligned to the camera. When I the first time I was on the volume, I was in Mandalorian.
00;34;03;20 - 00;34;04;16
Derrick
What's the volume?
00;34;04;24 - 00;34;07;04
Pete
So I know what the volume is.
00;34;07;04 - 00;34;34;11
Warren
The volume is a giant page that has LCD screens all over it and on the ceiling. And what they do is they project out the image using video game technology, video game engines so that the camera is locked into a certain position. And every place it looks, it'll always the computers will always make it look like you're looking at a three dimensional object.
00;34;34;21 - 00;34;38;26
Warren
Yeah. So you're actually acting against something. There's something there.
00;34;39;05 - 00;34;47;12
Pete
There's a really good episode of On Disney Plus of the when they did the first season of The Mandalorian, where they talked.
00;34;47;12 - 00;34;48;10
Gina
About the gallery.
00;34;48;11 - 00;34;49;02
Pete
Visual effects.
00;34;49;02 - 00;34;49;28
Gina
It's a gallery.
00;34;50;18 - 00;34;53;13
Pete
And there's one episode where they just talk about the volume.
00;34;53;14 - 00;34;53;20
Gina
Yeah.
00;34;54;06 - 00;34;56;27
Pete
It's it's really phenomena this time.
00;34;56;27 - 00;35;24;02
Warren
I love the volume. I was it was Mandalorian season two we had it was when Bill Burr and Mandalorian had just come through and the guys were throwing bombs at I'm trying to blow up the juggernaut or whatever it's called, which I was one of those guys to throw on the bombs, but you pull in and it so that's the set where they're pulling into a base and I'm looking around and I had never been on the volume before.
00;35;24;02 - 00;35;45;06
Warren
I'm looking around thinking, Oh, it's a pretty cool set. You know, there's a big pipe coming out and going down like, wait a minute, that's not real. It was like, you hear looks real, but then as it keeps going, it's look, okay, maybe it's not quite there, but when you put the camera on it, it's, it's indistinguishable.
00;35;45;06 - 00;35;54;07
Derrick
That's really cool. Now, you had said something to me about how in I think you said episode three you were actually listed as one of the stunt people.
00;35;54;19 - 00;35;55;21
Warren
Oh, right, yeah.
00;35;55;25 - 00;36;00;09
Derrick
What? And does Bryan want know if that has anything to do with your martial arts background? I didn't.
00;36;00;09 - 00;36;01;05
Gina
Say anything.
00;36;01;15 - 00;36;27;26
Warren
That it. It doesn't. It didn't. It didn't. This particular I was a second unit stunt double for you. And in a scene where we were on that transport the one I was just talking about when he gets off in prison, you know, so before they pick up the stormtroopers, there's a scene some far away where we're driving down this bumpy road.
00;36;27;26 - 00;36;33;13
Warren
And, you know, it's we're not hooked into anything, is that that was what I was doing.
00;36;33;28 - 00;36;35;01
Derrick
Well, that's technically a stunt.
00;36;35;14 - 00;36;37;07
Warren
That was technically a stunt.
00;36;37;07 - 00;36;37;16
Derrick
Okay.
00;36;38;02 - 00;36;42;07
Gina
I did I did say that you were in Cobra Kai in high school, so I.
00;36;42;09 - 00;36;42;22
Warren
Guess.
00;36;42;27 - 00;36;44;02
Gina
Yeah, I did say.
00;36;44;18 - 00;36;45;12
Warren
I was like Karate.
00;36;45;12 - 00;36;48;28
Gina
Kid. There was a Kai trainings going on anyway.
00;36;49;11 - 00;36;59;08
Derrick
And that that does bring up a question. Nick asked me Tuesdays stories about our favorite redheaded panelist.
00;36;59;08 - 00;37;03;29
Warren
Oh, I don't think I don't think I have any of those now.
00;37;04;00 - 00;37;04;23
Gina
We're just nerds.
00;37;05;00 - 00;37;08;15
Warren
No nerds. No, we didn't do anything. What would we.
00;37;08;15 - 00;37;14;15
Gina
Do? Nerds? Where did we watch Star Wars? And we talked about movies like we're just nerds.
00;37;14;23 - 00;37;18;07
Warren
Pretty much. Yeah. If I had something, I'd love to know.
00;37;18;08 - 00;37;20;06
Gina
I don't remember it. I remember being in. They have a.
00;37;20;07 - 00;37;20;21
Warren
Question. Yes.
00;37;20;21 - 00;37;43;01
Kate
You in the back. I have a question. So talk about the casting process. How especially for Obi Wan, like did you walk into a room and have a bunch of dudes who looked just like you? Because as soon as you came on, I was like, Oh dang, he does look like Ewan McGregor, like, whoa, not that I didn't expect anything, but what is it like?
00;37;43;02 - 00;37;55;00
Kate
What is the as as someone who also is an actor? What is the casting process like for background work and for stand in stand ins? How does that how does that work for standing?
00;37;55;09 - 00;38;28;05
Warren
Well, the casting process, the same casting director that cast background casts the stand ins. However, you can also get brought in as a stand in by the assistant directing department or, you know, some other way. This particular instance I received a text or an email saying, Hey, Warren, from the casting director that I worked with in Call The Wild and she said, You know what?
00;38;28;07 - 00;38;51;23
Warren
We've got this project. We can't say much about it. You might have to grow a beard. Can you grow a beard for it? I'm like, sure. So I get there and I figure out it's Obi Wan and I'm like, I'll grow whatever you want me to grow. Are you kidding me? I didn't know I could grow this.
00;38;52;17 - 00;38;53;07
Kate
Really?
00;38;53;14 - 00;39;15;01
Warren
Yeah. I've never. I'm most lake guy. I've been clean shaven for 47 years. Wow. So then I start growing and I go, shoot. I can go, shoot, I can grow it. You're going to look that bad? Okay, good. Wow. Yeah, that was how it worked. So that in this particular instance, I was I was called in because I had worked with someone before.
00;39;15;01 - 00;39;22;10
Warren
And although it's the same assistant directing department, it's working this black, this show that I'm working on now.
00;39;23;04 - 00;39;24;02
Derrick
What are you working on now.
00;39;26;02 - 00;39;31;10
Warren
That I've been a Jerry Seinfeld movie? Oh.
00;39;31;20 - 00;39;32;09
Kate
So cool.
00;39;33;05 - 00;39;39;09
Derrick
Is that what we're going to see next question.
00;39;39;09 - 00;40;08;01
Warren
I'm trying to think, oh, you know what? I did a Hulu movie called Quasi from the Broken Lizard guys Coma RFD and okay, Reno 911. And anyway, that should be coming out soon. That's a Hulu thing. Okay, that's a retelling of the Cosmo story. Oh.
00;40;08;13 - 00;40;08;23
Kate
All right.
00;40;09;02 - 00;40;10;28
Warren
But as only they can tell it.
00;40;11;01 - 00;40;12;06
Pete
Probably a comedy, right?
00;40;12;17 - 00;40;13;29
Warren
Oh, boy. Yeah.
00;40;14;11 - 00;40;16;04
Kate
And yours.
00;40;16;08 - 00;40;18;06
Gina
Oh, boy. Probably not. Yeah.
00;40;18;24 - 00;40;22;05
Warren
Well, we'll be putting it on Disney plus. I mean.
00;40;22;07 - 00;40;32;04
Pete
So what other. So you mentioned that you were a stormtrooper and I Jean had mentioned some other things. So what other roles did you play like in Boba Fett or Mandalorian?
00;40;32;11 - 00;40;51;10
Warren
In Mandalorian? I was several different stormtroopers. There was a version of a stormtrooper called a short Trooper, which had like the upper part of a star trooper outfit. And then the lower part was just like some pants or something. I was like, it's like they got left.
00;40;51;10 - 00;40;51;18
Gina
So.
00;40;51;18 - 00;41;11;27
Warren
Backwards. It's a low budget behind and you know, they're on the outer rim and they don't get there, you know, so low budget and then one and then one guy. I was a I was oh yeah, I was a stormtrooper and I don't hate me. I put the force cuffs on baby Yoda and go, good.
00;41;12;11 - 00;41;13;15
Pete
Oh, no.
00;41;13;16 - 00;41;14;29
Warren
Oh, yeah, yeah.
00;41;15;15 - 00;41;28;27
Kate
Yeah. I'm just so mad that you didn't lead with that. You were like, Listen, everybody. Yeah, I was part of Obi-Wan, but let me tell you what I really do. Yeah, yeah. So, no, I'm not.
00;41;28;27 - 00;41;49;01
Warren
And then. And then I was typecast in the Star Wars universe. I was a tusken in the book of Boba Fett. Okay. One of the things I have to do in of Boba Fett is we find this this guy perishing in the desert and we flip them over and we figure out the best thing to do is why don't we bind hands?
00;41;49;13 - 00;41;51;03
Warren
Warren, come on. You're good.
00;41;51;03 - 00;41;52;04
Gina
At that. You're good at that job.
00;41;52;13 - 00;41;55;09
Warren
So, yeah, I bound Boba Fett.
00;41;55;10 - 00;41;58;08
Pete
So you tied up both baby Yoda and for that.
00;41;58;25 - 00;41;59;03
Warren
Yeah.
00;41;59;19 - 00;42;01;02
Gina
That's on your resume from now on.
00;42;01;02 - 00;42;04;06
Warren
Yes, it is. Special skills. Yes.
00;42;04;06 - 00;42;14;27
Kate
Is this what you always wanted to do? Like what? How how did you like starting from when you knew Gina as kids, what was your journey to this?
00;42;15;20 - 00;42;20;07
Warren
I've always loved acting. Pretending?
00;42;20;19 - 00;42;24;24
Kate
Yeah.
00;42;24;24 - 00;42;46;29
Warren
And to coin a phrase, I think I took the long way around. I, I started. I went to school like I said, in Rochester for biochemistry and chemistry. Figured I wanted to be a forensic scientist, but then I thought maybe I only wanted to be a forensic scientist on like a TV show or so, although this was before Dexter and CSI and all that.
00;42;47;12 - 00;42;47;26
Kate
Dexter.
00;42;49;13 - 00;42;55;13
Warren
But I saw him at a at a we were having breakfast at a place down the street.
00;42;56;12 - 00;42;56;26
Kate
And you saw.
00;42;57;19 - 00;42;58;24
Gina
It's L.A., it's L.A..
00;42;59;05 - 00;43;00;15
Warren
And it just happened. I know.
00;43;00;22 - 00;43;01;10
Gina
It's L.A.. It's.
00;43;01;10 - 00;43;04;27
Warren
It's Burbank. What do you mean? Yeah, I don't know where I was.
00;43;05;26 - 00;43;08;17
Kate
You you want. You thought you wanted to be a forensic. Oh, all right.
00;43;09;15 - 00;43;31;03
Warren
So turns out I didn't really want to do that. Now. So then I ended up going after college. I moved out here, didn't get the job as a forensic scientist. So I decided, hey, I'm just going to I had a buddy coming out. It was a fraternity brother who was coming out to act. So I we moved in together and we, we did that for a couple of years.
00;43;31;03 - 00;43;55;00
Warren
And then I said, you know what? I kind of like money. So I kind of put that to the side and then used my, my, my, my degrees for a while. I ended up working at Technicolor in the film lab on for actual film. So that was fun. And then after a while I just couldn't, I couldn't do anything.
00;43;55;00 - 00;44;03;28
Warren
I just couldn't. So I dusted off the, the SAG card and jumped back on the horse or the camel as a baby.
00;44;03;28 - 00;44;08;09
Kate
That's so cool. You're so cool. Let's be friends. Okay? That's all.
00;44;09;11 - 00;44;09;16
Warren
I.
00;44;10;04 - 00;44;19;14
Derrick
I love it. I love the fact your technicolor like what what movies were going through at that point in time that might have been you might have been working on.
00;44;21;14 - 00;44;40;15
Warren
It was oh geez. I mean, that was from 2000 to 2012. So that was wow. That was a lot of stuff. All the Batman movies on, you know, all the Harry Potter's, all the Pixar's for.
00;44;40;15 - 00;44;44;13
Derrick
Those of you who were going to be listening later, Kate is absolutely flipping out right now.
00;44;45;19 - 00;44;46;11
Gina
She's verklempt.
00;44;46;15 - 00;44;47;14
Derrick
Once your life.
00;44;48;11 - 00;45;07;00
Kate
Did, he was like, oh, Leonardo DiCaprio walked on. And I was like, That's a big star. I'm sitting here going, Wow, I have no chill. I have no you know, I like yeah. I mean, if I was in that situation, I'd have chill. But right this minute, Goran, you are the single coolest person I've ever virtually met my entire life.
00;45;07;03 - 00;45;08;21
Gina
So that's that's great.
00;45;09;28 - 00;45;11;26
Warren
That's that's going on.
00;45;12;07 - 00;45;22;06
Derrick
Yeah. Yeah. So you talked about doing Baby Yoda, you know, cupping baby Yoda. You talked about carving The Mandalorian. What was your favorite moment you got to be a part of for this show?
00;45;23;22 - 00;45;47;00
Warren
There was a time where I, I, we were doing a second team rehearsal and the scene was where, where Obi says, you know, I'm going to use that. You know, he, he, he, he he hates me. He wants me. I'm going to use that against him. Oh, yeah. He Knows I'll do anything to that.
00;45;47;01 - 00;45;48;05
Derrick
Went in the bunker. Yeah.
00;45;49;08 - 00;46;11;24
Warren
Right. And so we, I, we did a whole second team rehearsal with that and I was doing all the lines and in fact whatever it was goofy. And then next thing I know, I turn around and Kumail comes in and starts doing his lines and he's like, Are you guys egos doing this for real or what? Why are you all right?
00;46;11;24 - 00;46;39;07
Warren
Oh, shit. Oh, okay. Sorry. He's like, Oh, no, it was great. Yeah, yeah. I didn't know you guys did that. Oh, I thought that was fun. That and then the other time was what I loved doing was getting under on the camel. And there's a scene towards the end where I'm up on the camel and I'm looking down at someone, maybe a force ghost.
00;46;39;07 - 00;46;55;18
Warren
I don't know. I just say that I'm looking down at Logan and I'm just like, this is this is amazing. And then they go to reset and I'm just walking on this camel or I'm riding on this camel throughout the set, and I'm just waving to everybody.
00;46;56;22 - 00;46;57;16
Gina
That's so awesome.
00;46;57;16 - 00;47;02;01
Warren
Great. That's one of the producers is like, there's Lauren, the mayor of the production.
00;47;02;02 - 00;47;07;01
Gina
I love it. That's great. That's great.
00;47;07;01 - 00;47;12;02
Derrick
Oh, we have Chris asking, tell us about your relationship with Ewan McGregor. How much do.
00;47;12;02 - 00;47;32;08
Warren
You. Oh, we're we're BFFs now. You are. This is the first time I've worked with you and and he's script. I was great great to work with him and then he's we ended up also I end up standing in for him on the Expedia commercial for the Super Bowl.
00;47;32;29 - 00;47;33;22
Gina
That's great. Okay.
00;47;33;22 - 00;47;34;08
Pete
Yeah, yeah.
00;47;34;10 - 00;47;36;24
Gina
I thought that was you too. I think that.
00;47;37;06 - 00;47;53;09
Warren
Yeah. So I in for him on that. And then I also sat in for him on the for the photo shoot and the Vanity Fair cover that Vanity Fair photoshoot. Yeah, that was fun casual, you know.
00;47;53;28 - 00;48;01;08
Pete
So so how does that work, though? Is it that there's like not everybody's there at the same time or is it just lighting in that kind of stuff.
00;48;01;27 - 00;48;10;24
Warren
For the Vanity Fair one? Yeah, everybody everybody on that shoot. There was Rosario was there. Pedro Diego.
00;48;11;09 - 00;48;12;01
Gina
Nice.
00;48;12;12 - 00;48;15;03
Warren
Yeah, I just told you, like.
00;48;15;18 - 00;48;19;15
Gina
Yeah, you know who it is? Did you do the lighting or did you get to be like.
00;48;20;04 - 00;48;32;23
Warren
We were doing the pre lighting and for the for the photography. Yeah. That's, that's all was that we were doing there some pretty cool.
00;48;32;23 - 00;48;39;17
Derrick
What else did we know. Born. I mean this is so fun. This is so much fun. I'm so enjoying this other stories from the set.
00;48;40;24 - 00;49;05;09
Warren
You know it it was just to go back into book of Boba Fett. Mm hmm. And this this touches on the practical props. There was a time I was a tusken raider. And, you know, you can only see if you put your hands up like this, like you're looking through binoculars, but make them smaller. That's. That's about it.
00;49;05;21 - 00;49;06;28
Kate
Mickey Mouse understands.
00;49;07;07 - 00;49;33;03
Warren
Yeah. Yeah. So there was a time when I was out there, we were out on the back lot. There's all Sam's, there's a little bit of blue screen, and there's a panther. Now they say action. And my action was just to, you know, do something over here and then walk over to the panther. I look over and I see two Tusken Raiders.
00;49;33;03 - 00;49;58;09
Warren
Now I can't see anything. It looks like Tusken Raiders. And next thing I know, the Panthers move in my head is move in. There's a tongue sticking out of it and that's all I can see. I can't see anything else as far as I was concerned. I was there on tattooing, watching Bamford do whatever it was doing that's why it's there.
00;49;58;14 - 00;49;58;29
Warren
There.
00;50;00;07 - 00;50;01;19
Pete
So wait, there's real Panthers.
00;50;01;28 - 00;50;09;14
Warren
Yeah, they were real. Know there was someone in the Panther. So let's pretend.
00;50;10;02 - 00;50;30;22
Kate
Warren, what do you and this may be a strange question, but do you have like a goal, like something because you have named some really, really cool stuff and things that if people did that, they'd be like, I've peaks, this is it, but you are so young and you're like, Do you have a goal?
00;50;30;22 - 00;50;33;07
Derrick
Take it, take it, Warren, take the young, just take it.
00;50;33;11 - 00;50;38;08
Gina
I That's I'm taking it.
00;50;38;08 - 00;50;50;26
Warren
You know what? I just. I want to just keep working. Yeah. I mean, I've a you know, I did the Marvel movie, actually. That was the same. It was the same week.
00;50;51;03 - 00;50;53;07
Pete
Did you put cuffs on Scarlett Johansson? Okay.
00;50;54;05 - 00;50;54;25
Derrick
Well.
00;50;55;08 - 00;50;56;17
Gina
It's a skill I'm.
00;50;56;17 - 00;51;25;12
Warren
Not going to answer it. That's a skill. I but it was the one week that where we were shooting the reshoots on Black Widow while I was also shooting Mandalorian. So that one week I was covering everything from Marvel to Star Wars. And I was beside myself. You know, what I did was want to when I because you have to wake up at an ungodly hour to get to set.
00;51;26;01 - 00;51;34;10
Warren
I set my alarm to be binary sunset night. I said it. So when I wake up, you know, what do.
00;51;35;23 - 00;51;36;01
Kate
I.
00;51;36;14 - 00;51;38;01
Warren
Do? So, you know, I.
00;51;38;05 - 00;51;38;26
Derrick
Get the mood.
00;51;39;04 - 00;51;45;15
Warren
Getting into the mood, and then I drive down to Manhattan Beach for four days.
00;51;45;15 - 00;51;49;15
Pete
They shoot anything, location any more or we shot.
00;51;49;15 - 00;52;30;28
Warren
A lot on location so I can we shot the, the what it was called the Inquisitor Chris the fortress, the, the part where he was, where they're underwater and he's fighting the stormtroopers. That was a separate location. There was a certain set that was built on a studio downtown. Our backlot was not at the studio. It was off off lot in a separate city.
00;52;30;28 - 00;52;45;20
Warren
We also shot the scenes where they were on the planet, where they got picked up by the stormtroopers. That's a that was another week in nor was it Santa Clarita or it.
00;52;45;20 - 00;52;46;03
Gina
Looked like.
00;52;46;28 - 00;52;47;20
Warren
Movie as.
00;52;47;20 - 00;52;48;17
Pete
We say, that was definitely.

No, I didn't know what you're talking about. The volume. I didn't know if like, everything is now done on a set.
00;53;26;23 - 00;53;54;06
Warren
Yeah. Only Amazon once one studio where they shot a lot of that. But then also we were shooting at the same time. That was fun. We were shooting at the same time. That book and Boba Fett was being shot. That book of Boba Fett was ending and we were starting up. So when Tamura came by to be the old in the old veteran, right?
00;53;54;13 - 00;53;57;06
Gina
He was just, by the way.
00;53;57;06 - 00;54;26;01
Warren
He was. Yeah. Wasn't it great? He was right there like the next stage over. He comes over, does his bit and showed up too and really fangirl over you. And it was fun to watch, but it was it was great. Yeah. Now she's she's great. Yeah, she's great. And to see somebody else doing it, it's funny. It's fun to see it.
00;54;26;01 - 00;54;29;12
Derrick
Are you Mando season three. Are you going to be in?
00;54;29;12 - 00;54;47;17

Gina
Okay. So no.
00;54;48;29 - 00;54;52;04
Derrick
But maybe someone with a really strange headpiece.
00;54;52;04 - 00;54;58;02
Warren
Maybe. Possibly. So I can neither confirm nor deny.
00;54;58;12 - 00;54;59;26
Gina
Rosario So.
00;55;00;07 - 00;55;04;05

Gina
Okay.
00;55;38;15 - 00;55;52;05
Warren
And then we started in April. We start principal photography in April. So we knew, I knew going into that, you know, about a month in advance, but normally it's not that much time.
00;55;52;10 - 00;56;04;02
Kate
So like right now we're in almost the beginning of July. You don't know and I'm not talking just about Star Wars. I'm talking about anything in your career right now, what you're going to be doing in October.
00;56;04;18 - 00;56;29;00
Warren
Oh, no, no. Now, but but I'm I've also been working in in another different galaxy far, far away for a different director writer that I think that I think goes for a.
00;56;29;00 - 00;56;31;03
Derrick
Galaxy or a universe.
00;56;31;18 - 00;56;33;21
Warren
Well, it would, I guess.
00;56;34;24 - 00;56;36;25
Kate
Y'all. We don't lose his job.
00;56;38;07 - 00;56;39;15
Gina
I know. It's completely.
00;56;39;15 - 00;56;43;14
Warren
Different universe. It's a completely different galaxy. Far, far away.
00;56;43;14 - 00;56;44;21
Derrick
That's enough.
00;56;44;29 - 00;56;53;26
Warren
It's not the one you guys know, but that should be going on till November. So. Okay, there's, there's. There's work out there.
00;56;54;24 - 00;56;55;03
Kate
Good.
00;56;55;16 - 00;56;55;29
Derrick
Awesome.
00;56;56;11 - 00;57;00;10
Pete
So if you're on any more Disney stuff, will you come back on and talk about it with us?
00;57;00;15 - 00;57;02;10
Warren
Absolutely.
00;57;02;25 - 00;57;03;05
Gina

Kate
We are hoping that that's good that you're Ewan McGregor, you're taking.
00;57;13;20 - 00;57;16;19
Pete
Wait, I thought I was your BFF, Kate. You know.
00;57;17;01 - 00;57;17;13
Kate
I have.
00;57;17;14 - 00;57;20;05
Gina
Less money. There's room for everyone.
00;57;20;27 - 00;57;39;00
Derrick
Me So, Warren, before you come on, we were talking about the the finale and the series as a whole and kind of our thoughts about it. Pete and I were kind of I'm of the opinion that maybe just should have been a movie. Got a little long as far as like the last episode was what everyone wanted, that just kind of seemed a little long.
00;57;40;04 - 00;57;47;05
Derrick
What do I mean? Your thoughts on not necessarily how the acting all that kind of went, but the story as a whole?
00;57;48;13 - 00;58;24;08
Warren
I think that it it felt very much like a trilogy to me. It's felt like it was it needed that long amount of time to tell the everything that they wanted to get into. They didn't want to, you know, like everything with with. Now you can say, well, why? You know, why are they having her do all this stuff?
00;58;24;08 - 00;58;59;03
Warren
It sounds like she never knew them before all this, you know. Well, but then at the end, you know, at the end of this. Well, he says, yeah, at the end he says, you can't let anyone know because we'll both be in danger. So there's things like that where I think, Yeah. Were some long I don't know it was it would be definitely it's going to be interesting to see if when they release it as a indicators in the theaters is that that.
00;58;59;09 - 00;59;01;06
Pete
Oh really they're talking about doing that I.
00;59;01;06 - 00;59;01;12
Derrick
Think that.
00;59;01;22 - 00;59;02;13
Warren
I've I've.
00;59;02;20 - 00;59;03;04
Derrick
Done it.
00;59;03;23 - 00;59;14;02
Warren
I see. I heard they were wanting to do it. I yeah. It was around now that they were going to do it. I haven't followed up on that. Yeah.
00;59;14;22 - 00;59;21;21
Derrick
And I know one of our biggest criticisms the whole way through has been the lack of drama kind of we know obi-wan's.
00;59;22;24 - 00;59;30;05
Pete
Not that there's no drama in the series, but reads like we know what's going to happen. All these characters are fine, which it hard to like.
00;59;31;06 - 00;59;35;07
Derrick
Whereas in The Mandalorian you could die any day as long as Martha and you get a hold of it.
00;59;35;21 - 01;00;35;11
Warren
Right? Yeah. And they, you know. No not everyone makes it out of Obi-Wan. No, alive. But anyone that needs to make it out of Obi-Wan alive makes it out, right. Yeah. Yeah. I think that is that the drama was in the beginning was him, you know, really being in this place where he's failed and he's that kind of drama is, you know, it's internalized but it's that's something you have to kind of see as time goes on, like, oh, Obi-Wan is depressed or whatever, you know, it's, you know, you kind of have to see, Oh, he's having these nightmares of order 66.
01;00;35;11 - 01;00;44;25
Warren
He's having these nightmares of, you know, so there was it was an internalized.
01;00;45;11 - 01;00;47;15
Derrick
Yeah, yeah. Karma.
01;00;47;15 - 01;01;06;02
Pete
Yeah. And I think a lot I think a lot of things I thought a lot of the character stuff worked really well like that, like the, the arc that he went through and the arc that Leo went through. And I did like I did like that they, they kind of spoofed us with like in the ads. It's like, Oh, it's going to be about Luke.
01;01;06;02 - 01;01;08;05
Pete
But then Luke was kind of like, Nope, one.
01;01;08;07 - 01;01;08;14
Gina
I said.
01;01;09;02 - 01;01;09;09
Warren
Yeah.
01;01;09;17 - 01;01;32;10
Pete
Yeah, it's going to be about Leia. And I was like, Oh, and that makes a lot more sense because I know, I know she says something about you, you know, that you worked for my father or whatever, like that. But you get the sense that she knew him or at least who he was. So it was kind of nice seeing that relationship build in the story and there was a lot of good character stuff.
01;01;32;10 - 01;02;00;10
Warren
I thought there were little things that I liked, like when he they he just rescues her there in the alley and, you know, she, her, her Lola is broken and he's kind of being a jerk, you know, he's like, Oh, go the good. It's not going to make any. No, it's great. Perfect. Then he kind of realizes, Oh, shit, okay, I'm supposed to be watching over these kids.
01;02;00;10 - 01;02;09;11
Warren
And and so he softens their a little bit and you start seeing him trying to to get pulled out of this.
01;02;09;11 - 01;02;12;14
Derrick
Yeah, I think it really pulls them out of the funk that he's in.
01;02;12;27 - 01;02;14;29
Warren
Yeah, for sure.
01;02;14;29 - 01;02;22;19
Gina
So and I do like at the very end how they do tie the nice bow on everything and I feel like it's all wrapped up nicely. That last episode really tied it all up.
01;02;22;19 - 01;02;22;25
Warren
And.
01;02;23;21 - 01;02;35;03
Gina
Had it all be cohesive. I was saying before, he's my favorite person, he's my favorite character, and I feel like I got I finally get him now. I got him now.
01;02;35;16 - 01;02;53;19
Warren
One of my favorite parts of that series is at the end when right after this slice, stepping in, when he's looking at him, he's and he says, you didn't choose Anakin Skywalker, I think. And he's now smiling.
01;02;53;19 - 01;02;58;13
Gina
I know. Mark and I. Oh, I loved it so much. Anyway.
01;02;59;02 - 01;03;00;04
Warren
That was that was great.
01;03;01;04 - 01;03;01;13
Gina
Yeah.
01;03;02;01 - 01;03;25;06
Derrick
Okay, Warren, we always when we're done watching a season or we're done watching a movie, we always give it a rating out of over five cups of pixie dust because that is a very Disney thing to do. We blew a rating. I mean, we've rated animated movies, we've rated Marvel movies, we've rated everything out of, you know, five is the absolute best thing you've ever seen.
01;03;25;18 - 01;03;36;09
Derrick
One is, yeah, no, I'm never going to watch this again. And just because I love putting pressure on my sister, Kate, you up first?
01;03;36;09 - 01;03;38;28
Kate
Oh, uh.
01;03;40;04 - 01;03;41;18
Derrick
I can drop worn down if it makes you feel.
01;03;43;18 - 01;03;44;20
Gina
It won't hurt his feelings.
01;03;44;20 - 01;03;52;06
Kate
I'm stuck between a 3.5 and a four. It's somewhere in there, and I'm not sure which way I want to lead. We'll go. Warren's here. We'll go for.
01;03;52;14 - 01;03;53;12
Warren
Yeah, that's a good idea.
01;03;53;20 - 01;04;17;16
Kate
It was good. Yeah, it was good. It was my favorite of all of the Star Wars shows. Really? Because I knew. Yes, but here's why. I knew all the players. I knew I knew Obi-Wan. I knew quite Gungeon I knew those players. I don't know the players as much when it comes to Boba Fett, when it comes to The Mandalorian, I'm not I don't know it as well.
01;04;17;16 - 01;04;31;16
Kate
I knew that Leia and Luke and Obi-Wan don't die right then. So I knew the players and it was easier for me to follow. Whereas with the other shows I feel like I got more confused more easily, if anything at all.
01;04;31;18 - 01;04;32;08
Warren
Sure.
01;04;32;08 - 01;04;33;17
Kate
So I'll say for Gina.
01;04;34;05 - 01;04;48;13
Gina
It's a solid four for me. That last episode brought it from a 3.5 to a four, because when you make my favorite character fully embodied in who I know him to be, I was very pleased. So went from 3.5 to 4. Pete, what about you?
01;04;49;21 - 01;05;06;06
Pete
Well, I would I would have given the last episode of a four on its own. But as I said, I just thought like it was a little too much of, like, the same thing happening over, like, he's got to rescue Leia. Oh, no, now he's got to rescue Leia, and, oh, now he's going to rescue Leia. So I guess I would have liked it tighter.
01;05;06;14 - 01;05;18;21
Pete
And so I'm going to give it I'm going to give it a three because I still would recommend it to people, but I'm not sure I would go back and rewatch it a bunch because I think I may have to go back and watch the last episode.
01;05;18;21 - 01;05;18;29
Warren
Which.
01;05;19;16 - 01;05;29;02
Pete
Is what I would do and again, I really did like you. McGregor Gregor was fantastic in it and Warren, you were fantastic when you were doing this.
01;05;29;02 - 01;05;29;18
Gina
Standing in.
01;05;29;18 - 01;05;30;16
Pete
His hands and he.
01;05;31;00 - 01;05;32;08
Kate
Looked are stirring.
01;05;32;17 - 01;05;33;16
Gina
You're stirring when.
01;05;33;19 - 01;05;34;00
Derrick
You think.
01;05;34;07 - 01;05;35;15
Gina
Your swing was for.
01;05;35;15 - 01;05;51;04
Pete
Sure that he was the he was the highlight though I thought of I mean, just what he brought to the character and the and the journey he went through I thought was captured really good. So that's my three. I don't think we should make Warren have to rate his own show though.
01;05;51;04 - 01;06;00;29
Warren
I think at least 15, if nothing else, for the people that run.
01;06;00;29 - 01;06;01;17
Pete
You got to do it.
01;06;02;12 - 01;06;03;27
Derrick
I am.
01;06;04;18 - 01;06;07;05
Pete
Doing great. Everything load born so don't feel bad.
01;06;07;13 - 01;06;08;27
Derrick
I would say it's 2.5 for me.
01;06;09;05 - 01;06;10;29
Gina
That's for him and I.
01;06;11;12 - 01;06;22;06
Derrick
I loved the last episode. I loved the last episode. I think it could have been instead of a it was. Was it five or six. Sorry. It was.
01;06;22;11 - 01;06;22;19
Warren
It was.
01;06;22;23 - 01;06;23;18
Pete
Six episodes. Yeah.
01;06;23;19 - 01;06;45;05
Derrick
Seven four. I think it could have been four and you could have still seen some of the Obi-Wan development and if it didn't focus, I loved the development of Obi-Wan's character from the massively depressed I have failed. There is no point in me ever being using the force again to now you understand? It's okay. I've basically got my life back.
01;06;45;21 - 01;07;11;17
Derrick
I've got my purpose back. So that is definitely now definitely something I would, you know, again suggested watching. I'm probably not ever going to watch it again except for the last episode. I will definitely watch the last episode again from our Steve gives it a three, Chris Gomaa gives it a four and says a fourth due to the fact that the stand in acting made the show.
01;07;12;08 - 01;07;13;02
Gina
There you go.
01;07;13;17 - 01;07;14;02
Warren
All right.
01;07;15;10 - 01;07;20;09
Derrick
Brian says a for required viewing between episode three and four. I would agree on that.
01;07;20;09 - 01;07;22;09
Warren
That you agree with that, Brian?
01;07;22;18 - 01;07;30;14
Derrick
Again, at least the last episode, you would at least need to see the last episode between three and four. I would even argue the last two or three episodes.
01;07;30;20 - 01;07;37;02
Pete
Yeah. And when he when he's saying episode three and four he said about the movies, not episode three and four of this.
01;07;37;02 - 01;07;41;15
Gina
Yeah. Yeah. Two episodes three and four. Yeah. And a little rogue one cause you can see Darth Vader.
01;07;41;20 - 01;07;42;03
Warren
Oh, yeah.
01;07;42;16 - 01;10;26;15
Derrick
Yeah.
00;00;49;17 - 00;01;12;18

00;02;02;04 - 00;02;08;00
Pete
I'm doing great. I'm really looking forward to the show. And I do not have any weapons now.
00;02;10;03 - 00;02;14;07
Derrick
I do, but mine's a green blade, so against the green screen, it wouldn't really work.
00;02;15;05 - 00;02;15;17
Pete
Yeah.
00;02;15;18 - 00;02;20;17
Derrick
And this week, we have also got our producer, Gina, coming on. Gina, how are you doing?
00;02;20;18 - 00;02;29;08
Gina
Hi. Great. I'm so excited for our guest. I've known him for a long time and I'm very excited to have won the show. He'll be here shortly.
00;02;29;25 - 00;02;38;10
Derrick
Yeah. But first, as we always do, we have got the Disney plus news. Kate, what do we got going on this week? Well.
00;02;39;09 - 00;03;07;25
Kate
It's time for the Disney. Plus news today in Disney plus news. Hocus Pocus two released a trailer today showing at least a little of the plot, including an appearance from the original Sanderson Sisters. Movie premieres on Disney plus September 30th. I am actually I am excited about this, but they can't they can't butcher it like this could go one of two ways.
00;03;07;26 - 00;03;12;22
Kate
It could be really good or total trash. I just feel like there's an in-between.
00;03;12;23 - 00;03;13;19
Gina
Yeah, I agree.
00;03;14;04 - 00;03;36;04
Kate
So that's my feelings on that. Second up, Samuel L. Jackson. Jackson shared that he was headed to London for reshoot shoots empresarial. I have a cough drop in my mouth because my throat is on fire, so I'm stuttering on words. Let me try all of this again. Samuel L. Jackson shared that he was headed to London for reshoots of the Secret Invasion series.
00;03;37;01 - 00;03;46;07
Kate
Reports are that the research shoots are extensive, possibly lasting several months. No release date for the series has been announced.
00;03;46;20 - 00;04;02;23
Derrick
Yeah, that's going to be. I think the reason they're going so deep into it is that that's going to be I think that's going to be a huge show for the upcoming for like part MCU five or whatever or whatever we're up to now.
00;04;03;06 - 00;04;29;02
Kate
Absolutely. All right. And last but certainly not least, a series that is equal to The Goonies. Oh, my gosh. It's sequel, y'all. I'm doing really good today. A series that is a sneak wheel to The Goonies has been given the green light by Disney. It will follow a group of kids looking to do a shot for shot remake of the original titled Our Time.
00;04;29;07 - 00;04;34;13
Kate
The series is being written by Sarah Watson. And that's it for the Disney Plus News.
00;04;34;21 - 00;04;38;04
Derrick
Okay, honest answer. Who here is a truly a Goonies fan?
00;04;38;14 - 00;04;39;14
Kate
Never say die.
00;04;40;10 - 00;04;49;26
Gina
I like The Goonies. I like this. I like the I like the remake, too. When they go down the water slide and the octopus is in there, I like the alternate ending.
00;04;50;26 - 00;04;52;25
Warren
Sure, it's all.
00;04;52;25 - 00;04;53;18
Gina
Right. I've seen all the.
00;04;53;18 - 00;04;56;06
Pete
Endings where I loved it when I was a kid. Has that.
00;04;56;12 - 00;04;57;26
Warren
Hook? Yeah. This is what's.
00;04;57;26 - 00;04;58;11
Gina
Up for me.
00;04;58;19 - 00;05;20;20
Derrick
It was actually inspired by there was a group of kids that were doing a shot for shot remake of one of the Indiana Jones films. And Steven Spielberg actually saw it and loved it and talked to the guy who's producing this. And they have finally have permission from I think it's Warner Brothers to use The Goonies. Spielberg has given his blessing.
00;05;20;29 - 00;05;24;09
Derrick
So it could be interesting, hopefully.
00;05;24;09 - 00;05;35;12
Gina
I mean, if the lady lets them use the house. I went to the house actually up in Oregon and I walked near the house and they didn't want us trespassing. So maybe the lady what it means the house.
00;05;35;12 - 00;05;38;01
Kate
Yeah, I know what movie house I've always wanted to see.
00;05;38;09 - 00;05;42;26
Gina
Which one, the Shining. I've been there to house.
00;05;42;27 - 00;05;49;10
Kate
It's the boat house. That is from the 1994 Cinema Classic, starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. Sleepless in Seattle.
00;05;51;07 - 00;05;51;27
Warren
Nights.
00;05;52;06 - 00;06;00;13
Pete
We have the well, not not in Buffalo, but we have the I've been in Cleveland and seen the Christmas Story House.
00;06;00;27 - 00;06;01;01
Warren
Me.
00;06;01;01 - 00;06;09;19
Gina
Two I loved it. I loved that so much. And you can rent it out. Really, you can rent it out. It's a lot of money the closer you get to Christmas.
00;06;10;01 - 00;06;10;20
Derrick
Oh, I'm sure.
00;06;11;00 - 00;06;16;02
Gina
Yeah, but you can rent it out and like, live by Ralphie and Randy.
00;06;16;02 - 00;06;26;05
Pete
And you know what? I've been on the merry go round that that the P.L. Travers and Walt Disney were on in saving Mr. Banks.
00;06;26;17 - 00;06;28;12
Kate
Oh, oh, love.
00;06;28;12 - 00;06;38;05
Derrick
That. Right at the front gate where they were in the savings. Still with us tonight we've got Steve says hi tuners. Ed says, take.

Derrick
Have a go fund me on this. See Pete in a bunny suit cost us.
00;07;00;22 - 00;07;09;26
Pete
We've got to earn a lot of money for that. But I would do it. I would do it for enough money. Not like 50 bucks.
00;07;09;26 - 00;07;11;07
Gina
There is. There is a price.
00;07;11;07 - 00;07;12;01
Pete
There is a price.
00;07;12;01 - 00;07;13;11
Gina
Yeah.
00;07;13;11 - 00;07;17;17
Derrick
And as Ed says, he wants to see Captain America's house on the moon. Oh, that.
00;07;17;18 - 00;07;19;14
Kate
Moon. Me too. It.
00;07;19;14 - 00;07;39;27
Derrick
Me too guys, as we teased. We do have a very special guest tonight. We have Warren Prue. He is he was Ewan McGregor's standing in the Obi-Wan Kenobi series. He's also been multiple other movies. We actually just found out before the show. He's been in Black Widow. He's been in lots of different stuff. He is The.
00;07;39;27 - 00;07;40;16
Gina
Mandalorian.
00;07;41;19 - 00;07;58;22
Derrick
Aurion. Yes, he is currently on his way, so he's actually running a little bit late tonight. So, yeah, I know. We're going to start talking about the actual series. We had the finale of it this week. And Gina, I'm actually going to start with you on this one.
00;07;58;27 - 00;07;59;18
Gina
Yes.
00;07;59;29 - 00;08;04;18
Derrick
So thoughts about the finale, thoughts about this. Let's start with thoughts about the finale. Okay.
00;08;04;27 - 00;08;29;19
Gina
So let me start with I love Darth Vader. So Darth Vader is my favorite character and I really enjoyed in the finale seeing why Obi-Wan said he was dead and that for me was full circle. And that made this better, the better ending, and it tied it all together for me. So I was really worried cause I'm like, I don't care, you know?
00;08;29;20 - 00;08;46;24
Gina
No one cares about Leia. She's cute, she's spunky, but we already know she's going to be okay. She's going to be the senator. She's going to be a princess. We know. And then we know about Luke. We know his whole journey. So I was really happy to see why did Obi-Wan say that? As a series, I really enjoy.
00;08;47;22 - 00;08;47;27
Derrick
This.
00;08;48;21 - 00;08;51;02
Gina
Finale. All right. Now, now, go ahead. That's it.
00;08;51;03 - 00;09;21;05
Pete
P t I would say that this was my favorite episode of the series so far. I, I did. I knew there they had some flaws with the entire concept and that there was only like you knew that a battle between Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi could not end in either of them being seriously injured or killed. So that really limited what they could do with that.
00;09;21;05 - 00;09;50;27
Pete
And I thought with that limitation, they did a really good job of making it in such a way that, you know, I enjoyed that. I was like, you know, going, Yeah, and that kind of thing. And I did like I liked the ending in the wrap ups and everything like that. And I and I kind of, even though it was probably the least surprising secret cameo in the history of secret cameos, I enjoyed the cameo at the end.
00;09;51;14 - 00;10;03;20
Pete
And so so overall it was it was definitely a good episode and I enjoyed I thought they wrapped it up well. So Derek.
00;10;03;20 - 00;10;11;09
Derrick
This episode was what we all wanted the entire series to be. It also proved to me that this should have been a movie instead of a series.
00;10;11;29 - 00;10;13;13
Gina
Because I agree with that.
00;10;13;21 - 00;10;50;18
Derrick
There was in this that we got the showdown between Obi-Wan and Vader. We got him calling him Darth Vader. And in that, that makes it seem like he's acknowledging his title as, okay, you are gone. You are now this dark. The dark Lord. Yeah. We've said all along that the lack of surprise is really big, you know, really hurt the show all along.
00;10;50;18 - 00;11;11;09
Derrick
I think that it's one of those where they finally decide to listen to what the fans really wanted. They wanted all this stuff. That was in the last episode. They didn't really necessarily want everything else. So yeah. Kate, what do you think of the last episode?
00;11;13;04 - 00;11;55;09
Kate
I will agree that this could have been a movie. I wish so. I had worked with this. I wish I had gone back and watched the first three movie episodes. I wish I had watched the first three movies and so that I knew what we were because I've seen them. I've seen them a couple of times, but I needed the refresher and I wish that after having watched those three, I also wish I had watched the fourth episode movie because I feel like I missed so many Easter eggs that big, big.
00;11;55;25 - 00;12;04;27
Kate
I almost did Marvel big big Star Wars the in court which you guys caught it like I kept texting our group chat saying hey is this significant? I can't remember if this.
00;12;06;14 - 00;12;08;00
Derrick
I think it was land ladies.
00;12;08;00 - 00;12;35;12
Kate
Holding his holster. But overall, this has been my favorite Star Wars series of any star Wars series. I think because I knew the players in it, I knew who Obi Wan was. I knew who Luke was, I knew who it was. I was low key, super hoping that we were going to see a child, Chewbacca or a child, Han Solo like Low Ki hoping for that.
00;12;35;23 - 00;12;53;20
Kate
But I know that that's far fetched and that's just me being like, Oh, that would have been so funny. But other than that, I thought it was great in my opinion. Granted, I haven't seen all of The Mandalorian, but in my opinion, this was my favorite of all of these Star Wars TV shows, too.
00;12;53;21 - 00;12;55;19
Pete
He's already an adult at this point. So yes.
00;12;56;06 - 00;12;58;03
Derrick
We know.
00;12;59;10 - 00;13;00;06
Warren
Anyway. Yeah.
00;13;01;09 - 00;13;02;19
Derrick
Sam Oh, go ahead.
00;13;02;19 - 00;13;19;06
Gina
Gina Oh, no. I was just going to say the other thing that I really liked about the finale and the series as a whole was the use of all of the actors from the previous trilogy, which I really like from the 1 to 3. Everyone was their own actor. I was really happy with that.
00;13;20;26 - 00;13;35;16
Derrick
Sam says if Darth Vader's bad at killing people, why does he leave Reva and Obi-Wan without checking if they're dead? But you got more sense in their duel on Guest Star. Then why he kicks the robes? Is he will?
00;13;35;21 - 00;13;36;08
Gina
Sure. He's dead.
00;13;36;16 - 00;13;38;20
Warren
Fully gone? Yeah. Yeah.
00;13;38;20 - 00;13;40;09
Gina
So really dead this time. Yeah.
00;13;41;02 - 00;14;04;11
Derrick
And he knew Obi Wan wasn't dead because Obi Wan actually got carried off in that first one and says, see, the Obi Wan put the critical head across Darth Vader's head. The hit gave him the scar you see in Return of the Jedi. When Luke takes off the helmet. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Nick says you're all saber your eye out Kenobi.
00;14;04;28 - 00;14;09;07
Derrick
Well, more likely. Know Kenobi the Luke Lucas savior.
00;14;09;11 - 00;14;10;16
Gina
Luke will saber his eye out.
00;14;12;01 - 00;14;24;13
Derrick
Steve says, read an interesting article about have his mask being destroyed by Kenobi in the animated series, his student destroyed the opposite side. I'm going to take silk. That's something I want to see in rebels.
00;14;24;15 - 00;14;24;25
Gina
Yeah.
00;14;25;04 - 00;14;35;27
Derrick
Okay. I didn't return at the battle with Luke's old mask being removed. Okay. And as Vicki says, the next sick character is Baby Chewie.
00;14;36;10 - 00;14;39;15
Kate
Don't forget, she said she really enjoyed the series as a whole.
00;14;39;25 - 00;14;49;27
Derrick
Yeah. And yeah, definitely. And so I'm going to go with you. Thoughts on the entire series? Thoughts on the series as Obi-Wan?
00;14;50;05 - 00;15;00;09
Pete
I don't think I've ever agreed with you as much as I have with this series. Like like our our thoughts are very simpatico. I don't know if it's like mental illness on my part or what it is.
00;15;00;28 - 00;15;03;24
Derrick
But oh, you're probably to me.
00;15;03;24 - 00;15;05;02
Pete
Oh, he's I thought he was going to push the.
00;15;05;02 - 00;15;06;02
Derrick
Button to the nightclub.
00;15;06;23 - 00;15;26;07
Pete
But yeah, I like to me, I think this would have worked better as a movie or a TV movie or something. I it, you know, I said it kind of all along. The problem is the problem with pulling in Leia and Lee and Luke especially is now you have even more characters you can't really have anything happen to.
00;15;26;18 - 00;15;54;14
Pete
So you made a whole bunch of characters on this show that you're very limited in what you can do. So the only character really was Reva that you could develop particularly. I do think they had I again, I loved Ewan McGregor throughout the series and I think they did bring him on a little bit of a growth journey, but not not huge.
00;15;55;07 - 00;16;23;09
Pete
And so I guess like because they couldn't change that much, I would have I don't know, I would I wish they'd been able to like bring in more original, original characters so that we could have there could have been some drama like even even like I on the last episode, I really enjoyed the Obi-Wan and Darth Vader section, but then they kept intercutting with Riva chasing after Luke.
00;16;23;18 - 00;16;44;19
Pete
And I'm like, We know how this is going to end. There's no way she's going to, you know, there's no way something's going to happen to Luke here. There's there's no suspense. So stop cutting to this other thing. At least the the lightsaber battle. There was like some suspense. I mean, you knew, again, that in the end they had to come out okay, but you didn't know how it was going to happen.
00;16;44;19 - 00;17;08;25
Pete
And it was I don't know. I thought that was exciting. And then they were cutting this other thing that was like and I don't know, that's just unfortunately, that's the way I feel. I well-produced, you know I think it's worth it to watch it once for Star Wars fan if you if you're especially if you're a fan of that character is that Ewan McGregor did a great job and actually they did a great job with Darth Vader, too.
00;17;08;25 - 00;17;19;11
Pete
They did. They did a great job with both characters. So really good character work. The plot was kind of that's that's my opinion. How about you, Derek?
00;17;19;17 - 00;17;26;18
Derrick
Yeah, I totally agree. The lack of drama has kept it from really being an interesting movie for me or excuse me, we've.
00;17;26;18 - 00;17;29;14
Warren
Been in a show.
00;17;29;14 - 00;17;36;12
Derrick
It's one of those where okay, those of you who have watched stuff that happens after this is Reeva ever show up again?
00;17;37;14 - 00;17;37;26
Pete
No.
00;17;38;06 - 00;17;39;17
Warren
No. That.
00;17;39;17 - 00;17;40;11
Derrick
Oh, okay.
00;17;40;23 - 00;17;41;02
Pete
Instead.
00;17;41;09 - 00;17;43;10
Gina
Well, they have to they're going to have to wait.
00;17;43;10 - 00;17;51;16
Kate
Which one is this third sister. Sister? Yeah. What's the name of the woman who died? Paula. Oh, yeah.
00;17;51;17 - 00;17;51;26
Warren
Okay.
00;17;52;05 - 00;18;32;23
Derrick
Well, I also think that showing how hard won and Beru fights for them to get killed in four had to have been. That had been an amazing battle. I can't believe there weren't dead stormtroopers laying around somewhere. So that's just one of those where it gives more life to Bruno, one which I love. It's a so we will come back to our thoughts about the series because we have got Warren with us one.
00;18;32;23 - 00;18;34;03
Gina
Hey, you made it.
00;18;34;17 - 00;18;38;01
Warren
I've made it. Yes. Thank you for seeing me. Sorry I'm late.
00;18;38;15 - 00;18;41;11
Derrick
Oh, not a problem. Early on, I.
00;18;41;11 - 00;18;43;09
Gina
Already chastised you for being an actor. It's all.
00;18;43;21 - 00;18;47;08
Warren
You actors. What they say. Mm.
00;18;48;04 - 00;18;50;17
Pete
We needed. We needed a call sheet so he could be on time.
00;18;53;01 - 00;19;14;14
Derrick
And in the right place. Yes. So, Warren, this is going to be kind of and please our fans out there, please give us your questions. We've got questions for Warren, but the ones you've got are probably way better. So give us questions. And this is really warm. We just want to get to know you get to know your acting journey, get to know some of your experiences on the Obi-Wan set.
00;19;15;03 - 00;19;25;06
Derrick
So and I guess that's kind of where we're going to start. Where I'd like to start is what were some of your favorite movies growing up? What what movies did you love as a kid?
00;19;25;25 - 00;19;29;10
Warren
Movies that I loved as a kid. Star Wars.
00;19;30;05 - 00;19;31;13
Derrick
Okay.
00;19;31;13 - 00;19;41;17
Warren
Raiders. Raiders of the Lost Ark. Tron, Buckaroo, Banzai. Oh, yeah. Told you. Big trouble, little China.
00;19;42;10 - 00;19;42;22
Derrick
Okay.
00;19;43;10 - 00;19;50;11
Warren
Yeah. All those Goonies. Told you. You need three coming.
00;19;50;11 - 00;19;51;06
Derrick
Out, apparently.
00;19;51;20 - 00;19;54;27
Warren
Well, we'll see about that. Yeah, we'll see.
00;19;56;24 - 00;20;06;24
Derrick
Okay. Okay. And then we have a question from Steve is how did you start being a stand in what how did your acting career get rolling? How do you become a stand in? Oh.
00;20;08;06 - 00;20;42;10
Warren
Well, let's see. Stand in is a is a position on set where you stand in for your principal actor. So what you're doing is your your your you're there to help set up all of the lighting things to make sure that all the lighting is going to be perfect. And all of the camera movements and the focusing and and all of the marks that the actor has to hit, you're in essence, a like a rehearsal actor.
00;20;43;11 - 00;21;23;28
Warren
Now, most of the time you're standing there to absorb the light and to see where you're where you're standing. But there are times when you also have to run what's called second team rehearsals. Second team is, is what standards are called with the obviously the first team being the principal actors. So sometimes I'll have to run a whole rehearsal as Obi-Wan, you know, to get all if there's a lot of background actors that you know, or a very complicated scene and then you do that most of the time it's standing there doing basic movements and then just getting everything set up.
00;21;24;29 - 00;21;56;16
Warren
How I started, I started as a stand in from doing background work. They usually start pulling people up from background to stand in and then from there I worked in various TV shows, but my first big basically what you do is once you're there, then you're meeting everybody, you're meeting all the assistant directors, you're meeting all of the casting people and it's it's just making, making connections.
00;21;56;16 - 00;22;13;22
Warren
So one of the casting directors that I had been working with needed someone to stand in on call the while. So my first big standing job was standing in for Dan Stevens Hal in that the bad guy and call the wild.
00;22;13;24 - 00;22;16;13
Derrick
Okay is that the Harrison Ford one of the Charlie.
00;22;16;13 - 00;22;18;16
Warren
Harrison the hey what.
00;22;18;25 - 00;22;19;08
Gina
Not that.
00;22;19;08 - 00;22;24;22
Warren
Old I guess they're saying. I mean, I don't. Yeah, yeah. Okay. I know.
00;22;24;22 - 00;22;26;02
Derrick
The Grays worked for.
00;22;26;02 - 00;22;31;29
Gina
You in conversation earlier saying that we were in the middle of really old and just old. We're not that old.
00;22;32;11 - 00;22;33;22
Pete
And I'm the one that's really old.
00;22;33;24 - 00;22;38;08
Warren
So we're getting there. Where? Yeah. So call.
00;22;38;08 - 00;22;38;20
Derrick
The wild.
00;22;39;01 - 00;23;15;28
Warren
So call the wild was the first big one and that was that. And then I also photo doubled. So you've got photo doubling in front of the camera where you're portraying somebody. Usually it's a hand or a back of your head or a side of your head or like in exactly in call the wild. There's a scene where Hal is crouching around trying to is just about to kick in the cabin door to see if he can find Harrison Ford while those hands and the feet walking in the in the through the trees is me holding the holding the rifle.
00;23;15;28 - 00;23;18;27
Warren
And then when the door kicks in, it's obviously Dan.
00;23;22;02 - 00;23;26;21
Derrick
Very, very cool. So when you were in the wedding?
00;23;26;21 - 00;23;53;20
Warren
Singer Oh yes. That was my first background gig was standing in I was standing sorry was, was being the one of the groom's men in the first the opening sequence the opening with the with the him singing You Spin Me right round. Yes. So I'm one of the guys dancing off, off, beat to the door and him singing that thing.
00;23;53;27 - 00;24;05;25
Warren
And that was about a week's worth of filming because we filmed the entire wedding down there. Oh, that was. Yeah, yeah. So you can catch on there as well. Yeah.
00;24;06;07 - 00;24;19;17
Pete
So eventually you want to focus on Obi-Wan, but what other things, what other movies would or show or TV shows would we, you know, have maybe seen you in, you know, as a working actor, might have.
00;24;19;17 - 00;24;37;27
Warren
Well, you know, you might have seen me driving a golf cart in Modern Family or I'm driving Sophia Vergara and Jesse Tyler Ferguson, you know, as they're looking for Oprah's house. Small, small parts here. And.
00;24;38;00 - 00;24;38;09
Pete
Yeah.
00;24;39;01 - 00;24;47;15
Derrick
Okay. Now, Robert, who apparently knows you from college, wants to know how your role as a wedding reception dancer prepares you for Obi-Wan.
00;24;48;03 - 00;25;19;01
Warren
Well, Robert, that's a that's a fascinating question. I want to thank you for for doing that really, the the motions of the dance in. So you spin me right round it. There's something about the channels. I'm going to call it your cheat. And that really helped with the force aspect of Obi-Wan. Thank you, Robert.
00;25;19;01 - 00;25;36;08
Kate
Okay, I've got one. Well, okay, I have to. Was there ever like, what was the moment? Did you have a moment, I guess, where you were like, oh like this is really what I do is really cool. Like have a, you know that moment I'm telling.
00;25;36;08 - 00;25;37;27
Gina
Girl your fangirl moment.
00;25;37;27 - 00;25;56;11
Kate
Well yeah. So that was going to be my the second part to me. One thing is have you ever been on set with someone that you were like, this is really cool like I like and girl moment I know you have to like keep your cool and stuff because professionalism but has there ever been a moment where you were like totally freaking out on the inside?
00;25;56;23 - 00;26;05;08
Warren
You know, there's something about Leonardo DiCaprio that I was you know, he there's just a presence that he has. Yeah.
00;26;05;17 - 00;26;08;01
Kate
Yeah, it presents me up one side. Yeah.
00;26;09;09 - 00;26;37;28
Warren
But when he shook, I did Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, I was one of the I played the assistant director of the lancer set back in the sixties. Whatever it was. So when he walked on set, it was kind of like, oh, that he's he's a big that's a big star. That is big. Awesome. He's a big and he had just won, you know, for Revenant Revenant it's just I don't know it was a that's cool.
00;26;38;12 - 00;26;38;20
Warren
Yeah.
00;26;38;29 - 00;26;40;29
Kate
That's cool. That's cool. All right.
00;26;42;06 - 00;26;48;13
Pete
So, so but to her first question, like, what what was the first moment you were like, oh, right. Oh, my job is really cool.
00;26;49;05 - 00;27;03;19
Warren
The when I put on the the the the Obi-Wan robe and then you're like, I'm putting on the, the, the Obi-Wan role. I'm like, I'm Obi-Wan.
00;27;04;03 - 00;27;05;15
Gina
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00;27;06;04 - 00;27;17;21
Warren
And that any time I was doing that the first time I did it, I was like, Are you kidding me? I mean, the eight year old in me was was freaking out. Yeah.
00;27;17;24 - 00;27;18;28
Derrick
When where's my lightsaber?
00;27;19;25 - 00;27;26;16
Warren
And then when they and your lightsaber forget about it. What are you supposed to do.
00;27;27;18 - 00;27;30;12
Gina
Go to how many. Yeah.
00;27;30;27 - 00;27;34;19
Warren
Not do it.
00;27;34;19 - 00;27;37;01
Kate
That's awesome. That's awesome. Thank you.
00;27;37;13 - 00;27;37;24
Warren
Sure.
00;27;39;20 - 00;27;49;11
Derrick
Okay. So I guess my next question is, so you're on set. How much of the script do you see? Do you only see your days lines? Do you do you know what's happening?
00;27;49;11 - 00;28;13;27
Warren
The entire story I see is what's called the sides, is what you get every day. And that's the little piece of the script that you're going to be shooting that day. So there may be parts of it scratched out that, you know, we already did that or we're not doing that anymore. But it's the little piece. Every day you get a little piece of what's going on.
00;28;13;27 - 00;28;34;21
Warren
And again, I was only standing in for you. And so anytime there was anything with the bad guys doing anything, I had no idea except for the one time I stood in awe, I was, I got in the stormtrooper uniform on Obi-Wan. Yeah. So I was in one of those.
00;28;35;13 - 00;28;40;03
Derrick
So you weren't the stand in for the lightsaber fight with Darth Vader?
00;28;40;03 - 00;28;42;15
Warren
You know what? That's not entirely true.
00;28;42;28 - 00;28;45;25
Gina
Oh, we can say we know because I.
00;28;46;20 - 00;29;07;28
Warren
I did do a little bit, but mostly they have the Ross who is the stunt. The stunt guy for for you and and Tom who was the stunt guy for for Darth Vader. And they usually had them obviously do it. But to line up some of the shots, they we had to do a couple of little moves here and there.
00;29;08;18 - 00;29;17;05
Pete
Okay. So so when you like watch the show like you don't really know the story or anything like that, I mean, you know, bits and pieces of it, but.
00;29;17;05 - 00;29;28;15
Warren
I know bits and pieces of it. Yeah. Like anything with the Grand Inquisitor or a lot of Riva's stuff. Yeah. I didn't know what was going on. I don't know what.
00;29;28;19 - 00;29;29;12
Gina
You weren't there.
00;29;29;28 - 00;29;34;23
Warren
Yeah, I know. I don't know if it didn't have to do with me. I didn't know.
00;29;35;02 - 00;29;39;26
Derrick
Okay. Yeah. Are there moments that you can look at the screen and go, That's me.
00;29;41;00 - 00;30;22;24
Warren
I know, I know that they're definitely like, my hands are all over it. So I'm making the the space. STU When he's making the space stew that bubbles up, you know, it's my hand making the space stew when when he's when Obi is is climbing down off of the when they've been they've been stopped and he's climbing down to get the storm troopers are having him climb down any unhook this is holstered that's me and look in the holster getting ready to shoot the shoot the stormtroopers.
00;30;22;24 - 00;30;30;06
Warren
And then there's going to be a there's one where I'm from far away. I'm riding on the the EOD.
00;30;30;25 - 00;30;32;10
Derrick
The camel at the end.
00;30;32;10 - 00;30;32;25
Warren
Yes.
00;30;33;07 - 00;30;33;17
Derrick
Yeah.
00;30;34;01 - 00;30;46;00
Warren
Yes, the camel. This person here. Yeah. Well, just happened to say I think that was you on the camel at the end. That was. I'm going to say that was me. I'm going to agree with you. I'm going to.
00;30;46;06 - 00;30;48;02
Gina
Have to say it was you, too, even if it wasn't.
00;30;49;08 - 00;31;00;11
Pete
So I have a question about that. When they do that, when they do that camel thing, are you actually on like a camel and they just rapids head in the greenscreen and replace the head? Or are you on like a mechanism?
00;31;00;21 - 00;31;19;21
Warren
Oh, no, I was on a camel. Okay. I learned how to ride a camel. They they taught me how to ride a camel, which riding the camel isn't that hard. It's the getting up because they're like eight feet tall, but they kneel down, so you have to swing your foot over to get on. And then you're like, okay, I'm only a couple inches off the ground.
00;31;20;05 - 00;31;50;07
Warren
And then they do this thing where they kind of fly off the front if you're not careful. So yes, there's a real camel. And then what they do is they have little CGI markers, okay. Where they're going to change the around and then they also had a prosthetic head when it was eating, you know, when he was feeding the whale to it and it would come out.
00;31;50;07 - 00;32;22;25
Warren
And so there was a prosthetic head, you know, that that they were using. That's cool. Cool. That's what impressed me a lot on the show is all the practical makeup and the practical special effects were amazing. They had same thing with with a book of Boba Fett where they have servos, like 32 little motors in these masks that people are wearing.
00;32;24;04 - 00;32;53;10
Warren
And they've got, you know, one person controls the eyes, one person controls the eyebrows, one person controls some little things on the on the alien. And then the best part is when they're doing when they're speaking, if you have, like Zach Braff doing a voiceover, he's wearing this thing where as he's moving his mouth, it translates to a servo in the mask that the guys that someone else is wearing and it will make his mouth move.
00;32;53;28 - 00;32;58;07
Warren
So it takes 15 people to make these, but it's practical and it's so.
00;32;58;12 - 00;33;02;24
Pete
It's so he's on set when he's playing that character. Yes. He's interesting.
00;33;02;26 - 00;33;11;15
Warren
He's he's off on it in a little booth. He's watching the monitor and then he's delivering his lines and so that it will sync up.
00;33;11;26 - 00;33;22;14
Pete
Wow. Okay. Now, I didn't I didn't realize it's amazing that they still use a lot of that prosthetics for for the for the aliens.
00;33;22;22 - 00;33;28;11
Warren
I think they realized that it it just didn't look that good in.
00;33;28;27 - 00;33;29;15
Gina
CGI.
00;33;29;18 - 00;34;03;20
Warren
When you are on CGI. Right? Yeah. So that's another kind of like the also with using the technology of of the volume. It's right. It's not this. It's not like this. It's not like a green screen behind you. It's actually projected and it's in three dimensional the way that it's that it's aligned to the camera. When I the first time I was on the volume, I was in Mandalorian.
00;34;03;20 - 00;34;04;16
Derrick
What's the volume?
00;34;04;24 - 00;34;07;04
Pete
So I know what the volume is.
00;34;07;04 - 00;34;34;11
Warren
The volume is a giant page that has LCD screens all over it and on the ceiling. And what they do is they project out the image using video game technology, video game engines so that the camera is locked into a certain position. And every place it looks, it'll always the computers will always make it look like you're looking at a three dimensional object.
00;34;34;21 - 00;34;38;26
Warren
Yeah. So you're actually acting against something. There's something there.
00;34;39;05 - 00;34;47;12
Pete
There's a really good episode of On Disney Plus of the when they did the first season of The Mandalorian, where they talked.
00;34;47;12 - 00;34;48;10
Gina
About the gallery.
00;34;48;11 - 00;34;49;02
Pete
Visual effects.
00;34;49;02 - 00;34;49;28
Gina
It's a gallery.
00;34;50;18 - 00;34;53;13
Pete
And there's one episode where they just talk about the volume.
00;34;53;14 - 00;34;53;20
Gina
Yeah.
00;34;54;06 - 00;34;56;27
Pete
It's it's really phenomena this time.
00;34;56;27 - 00;35;24;02
Warren
I love the volume. I was it was Mandalorian season two we had it was when Bill Burr and Mandalorian had just come through and the guys were throwing bombs at I'm trying to blow up the juggernaut or whatever it's called, which I was one of those guys to throw on the bombs, but you pull in and it so that's the set where they're pulling into a base and I'm looking around and I had never been on the volume before.
00;35;24;02 - 00;35;45;06
Warren
I'm looking around thinking, Oh, it's a pretty cool set. You know, there's a big pipe coming out and going down like, wait a minute, that's not real. It was like, you hear looks real, but then as it keeps going, it's look, okay, maybe it's not quite there, but when you put the camera on it, it's, it's indistinguishable.
00;35;45;06 - 00;35;54;07
Derrick
That's really cool. Now, you had said something to me about how in I think you said episode three you were actually listed as one of the stunt people.
00;35;54;19 - 00;35;55;21
Warren
Oh, right, yeah.
00;35;55;25 - 00;36;00;09
Derrick
What? And does Bryan want know if that has anything to do with your martial arts background? I didn't.
00;36;00;09 - 00;36;01;05
Gina
Say anything.
00;36;01;15 - 00;36;27;26
Warren
That it. It doesn't. It didn't. It didn't. This particular I was a second unit stunt double for you. And in a scene where we were on that transport the one I was just talking about when he gets off in prison, you know, so before they pick up the stormtroopers, there's a scene some far away where we're driving down this bumpy road.
00;36;27;26 - 00;36;33;13
Warren
And, you know, it's we're not hooked into anything, is that that was what I was doing.
00;36;33;28 - 00;36;35;01
Derrick
Well, that's technically a stunt.
00;36;35;14 - 00;36;37;07
Warren
That was technically a stunt.
00;36;37;07 - 00;36;37;16
Derrick
Okay.
00;36;38;02 - 00;36;42;07
Gina
I did I did say that you were in Cobra Kai in high school, so I.
00;36;42;09 - 00;36;42;22
Warren
Guess.
00;36;42;27 - 00;36;44;02
Gina
Yeah, I did say.
00;36;44;18 - 00;36;45;12
Warren
I was like Karate.
00;36;45;12 - 00;36;48;28
Gina
Kid. There was a Kai trainings going on anyway.
00;36;49;11 - 00;36;59;08
Derrick
And that that does bring up a question. Nick asked me Tuesdays stories about our favorite redheaded panelist.
00;36;59;08 - 00;37;03;29
Warren
Oh, I don't think I don't think I have any of those now.
00;37;04;00 - 00;37;04;23
Gina
We're just nerds.
00;37;05;00 - 00;37;08;15
Warren
No nerds. No, we didn't do anything. What would we.
00;37;08;15 - 00;37;14;15
Gina
Do? Nerds? Where did we watch Star Wars? And we talked about movies like we're just nerds.
00;37;14;23 - 00;37;18;07
Warren
Pretty much. Yeah. If I had something, I'd love to know.
00;37;18;08 - 00;37;20;06
Gina
I don't remember it. I remember being in. They have a.
00;37;20;07 - 00;37;20;21
Warren
Question. Yes.
00;37;20;21 - 00;37;43;01
Kate
You in the back. I have a question. So talk about the casting process. How especially for Obi Wan, like did you walk into a room and have a bunch of dudes who looked just like you? Because as soon as you came on, I was like, Oh dang, he does look like Ewan McGregor, like, whoa, not that I didn't expect anything, but what is it like?
00;37;43;02 - 00;37;55;00
Kate
What is the as as someone who also is an actor? What is the casting process like for background work and for stand in stand ins? How does that how does that work for standing?
00;37;55;09 - 00;38;28;05
Warren
Well, the casting process, the same casting director that cast background casts the stand ins. However, you can also get brought in as a stand in by the assistant directing department or, you know, some other way. This particular instance I received a text or an email saying, Hey, Warren, from the casting director that I worked with in Call The Wild and she said, You know what?
00;38;28;07 - 00;38;51;23
Warren
We've got this project. We can't say much about it. You might have to grow a beard. Can you grow a beard for it? I'm like, sure. So I get there and I figure out it's Obi Wan and I'm like, I'll grow whatever you want me to grow. Are you kidding me? I didn't know I could grow this.
00;38;52;17 - 00;38;53;07
Kate
Really?
00;38;53;14 - 00;39;15;01
Warren
Yeah. I've never. I'm most lake guy. I've been clean shaven for 47 years. Wow. So then I start growing and I go, shoot. I can go, shoot, I can grow it. You're going to look that bad? Okay, good. Wow. Yeah, that was how it worked. So that in this particular instance, I was I was called in because I had worked with someone before.
00;39;15;01 - 00;39;22;10
Warren
And although it's the same assistant directing department, it's working this black, this show that I'm working on now.
00;39;23;04 - 00;39;24;02
Derrick
What are you working on now.
00;39;26;02 - 00;39;31;10
Warren
That I've been a Jerry Seinfeld movie? Oh.
00;39;31;20 - 00;39;32;09
Kate
So cool.
00;39;33;05 - 00;39;39;09
Derrick
Is that what we're going to see next question.
00;39;39;09 - 00;40;08;01
Warren
I'm trying to think, oh, you know what? I did a Hulu movie called Quasi from the Broken Lizard guys Coma RFD and okay, Reno 911. And anyway, that should be coming out soon. That's a Hulu thing. Okay, that's a retelling of the Cosmo story. Oh.
00;40;08;13 - 00;40;08;23
Kate
All right.
00;40;09;02 - 00;40;10;28
Warren
But as only they can tell it.
00;40;11;01 - 00;40;12;06
Pete
Probably a comedy, right?
00;40;12;17 - 00;40;13;29
Warren
Oh, boy. Yeah.
00;40;14;11 - 00;40;16;04
Kate
And yours.
00;40;16;08 - 00;40;18;06
Gina
Oh, boy. Probably not. Yeah.
00;40;18;24 - 00;40;22;05
Warren
Well, we'll be putting it on Disney plus. I mean.
00;40;22;07 - 00;40;32;04
Pete
So what other. So you mentioned that you were a stormtrooper and I Jean had mentioned some other things. So what other roles did you play like in Boba Fett or Mandalorian?
00;40;32;11 - 00;40;51;10
Warren
In Mandalorian? I was several different stormtroopers. There was a version of a stormtrooper called a short Trooper, which had like the upper part of a star trooper outfit. And then the lower part was just like some pants or something. I was like, it's like they got left.
00;40;51;10 - 00;40;51;18
Gina
So.
00;40;51;18 - 00;41;11;27
Warren
Backwards. It's a low budget behind and you know, they're on the outer rim and they don't get there, you know, so low budget and then one and then one guy. I was a I was oh yeah, I was a stormtrooper and I don't hate me. I put the force cuffs on baby Yoda and go, good.
00;41;12;11 - 00;41;13;15
Pete
Oh, no.
00;41;13;16 - 00;41;14;29
Warren
Oh, yeah, yeah.
00;41;15;15 - 00;41;28;27
Kate
Yeah. I'm just so mad that you didn't lead with that. You were like, Listen, everybody. Yeah, I was part of Obi-Wan, but let me tell you what I really do. Yeah, yeah. So, no, I'm not.
00;41;28;27 - 00;41;49;01
Warren
And then. And then I was typecast in the Star Wars universe. I was a tusken in the book of Boba Fett. Okay. One of the things I have to do in of Boba Fett is we find this this guy perishing in the desert and we flip them over and we figure out the best thing to do is why don't we bind hands?
00;41;49;13 - 00;41;51;03
Warren
Warren, come on. You're good.
00;41;51;03 - 00;41;52;04
Gina
At that. You're good at that job.
00;41;52;13 - 00;41;55;09
Warren
So, yeah, I bound Boba Fett.
00;41;55;10 - 00;41;58;08
Pete
So you tied up both baby Yoda and for that.
00;41;58;25 - 00;41;59;03
Warren
Yeah.
00;41;59;19 - 00;42;01;02
Gina
That's on your resume from now on.
00;42;01;02 - 00;42;04;06
Warren
Yes, it is. Special skills. Yes.
00;42;04;06 - 00;42;14;27
Kate
Is this what you always wanted to do? Like what? How how did you like starting from when you knew Gina as kids, what was your journey to this?
00;42;15;20 - 00;42;20;07
Warren
I've always loved acting. Pretending?
00;42;20;19 - 00;42;24;24
Kate
Yeah.
00;42;24;24 - 00;42;46;29
Warren
And to coin a phrase, I think I took the long way around. I, I started. I went to school like I said, in Rochester for biochemistry and chemistry. Figured I wanted to be a forensic scientist, but then I thought maybe I only wanted to be a forensic scientist on like a TV show or so, although this was before Dexter and CSI and all that.
00;42;47;12 - 00;42;47;26
Kate
Dexter.
00;42;49;13 - 00;42;55;13
Warren
But I saw him at a at a we were having breakfast at a place down the street.
00;42;56;12 - 00;42;56;26
Kate
And you saw.
00;42;57;19 - 00;42;58;24
Gina
It's L.A., it's L.A..
00;42;59;05 - 00;43;00;15
Warren
And it just happened. I know.
00;43;00;22 - 00;43;01;10
Gina
It's L.A.. It's.
00;43;01;10 - 00;43;04;27
Warren
It's Burbank. What do you mean? Yeah, I don't know where I was.
00;43;05;26 - 00;43;08;17
Kate
You you want. You thought you wanted to be a forensic. Oh, all right.
00;43;09;15 - 00;43;31;03
Warren
So turns out I didn't really want to do that. Now. So then I ended up going after college. I moved out here, didn't get the job as a forensic scientist. So I decided, hey, I'm just going to I had a buddy coming out. It was a fraternity brother who was coming out to act. So I we moved in together and we, we did that for a couple of years.
00;43;31;03 - 00;43;55;00
Warren
And then I said, you know what? I kind of like money. So I kind of put that to the side and then used my, my, my, my degrees for a while. I ended up working at Technicolor in the film lab on for actual film. So that was fun. And then after a while I just couldn't, I couldn't do anything.
00;43;55;00 - 00;44;03;28
Warren
I just couldn't. So I dusted off the, the SAG card and jumped back on the horse or the camel as a baby.
00;44;03;28 - 00;44;08;09
Kate
That's so cool. You're so cool. Let's be friends. Okay? That's all.
00;44;09;11 - 00;44;09;16
Warren
I.
00;44;10;04 - 00;44;19;14
Derrick
I love it. I love the fact your technicolor like what what movies were going through at that point in time that might have been you might have been working on.
00;44;21;14 - 00;44;40;15
Warren
It was oh geez. I mean, that was from 2000 to 2012. So that was wow. That was a lot of stuff. All the Batman movies on, you know, all the Harry Potter's, all the Pixar's for.
00;44;40;15 - 00;44;44;13
Derrick
Those of you who were going to be listening later, Kate is absolutely flipping out right now.
00;44;45;19 - 00;44;46;11
Gina
She's verklempt.
00;44;46;15 - 00;44;47;14
Derrick
Once your life.
00;44;48;11 - 00;45;07;00
Kate
Did, he was like, oh, Leonardo DiCaprio walked on. And I was like, That's a big star. I'm sitting here going, Wow, I have no chill. I have no you know, I like yeah. I mean, if I was in that situation, I'd have chill. But right this minute, Goran, you are the single coolest person I've ever virtually met my entire life.
00;45;07;03 - 00;45;08;21
Gina
So that's that's great.
00;45;09;28 - 00;45;11;26
Warren
That's that's going on.
00;45;12;07 - 00;45;22;06
Derrick
Yeah. Yeah. So you talked about doing Baby Yoda, you know, cupping baby Yoda. You talked about carving The Mandalorian. What was your favorite moment you got to be a part of for this show?
00;45;23;22 - 00;45;47;00
Warren
There was a time where I, I, we were doing a second team rehearsal and the scene was where, where Obi says, you know, I'm going to use that. You know, he, he, he, he he hates me. He wants me. I'm going to use that against him. Oh, yeah. He Knows I'll do anything to that.
00;45;47;01 - 00;45;48;05
Derrick
Went in the bunker. Yeah.
00;45;49;08 - 00;46;11;24
Warren
Right. And so we, I, we did a whole second team rehearsal with that and I was doing all the lines and in fact whatever it was goofy. And then next thing I know, I turn around and Kumail comes in and starts doing his lines and he's like, Are you guys egos doing this for real or what? Why are you all right?
00;46;11;24 - 00;46;39;07
Warren
Oh, shit. Oh, okay. Sorry. He's like, Oh, no, it was great. Yeah, yeah. I didn't know you guys did that. Oh, I thought that was fun. That and then the other time was what I loved doing was getting under on the camel. And there's a scene towards the end where I'm up on the camel and I'm looking down at someone, maybe a force ghost.
00;46;39;07 - 00;46;55;18
Warren
I don't know. I just say that I'm looking down at Logan and I'm just like, this is this is amazing. And then they go to reset and I'm just walking on this camel or I'm riding on this camel throughout the set, and I'm just waving to everybody.
00;46;56;22 - 00;46;57;16
Gina
That's so awesome.
00;46;57;16 - 00;47;02;01
Warren
Great. That's one of the producers is like, there's Lauren, the mayor of the production.
00;47;02;02 - 00;47;07;01
Gina
I love it. That's great. That's great.
00;47;07;01 - 00;47;12;02
Derrick
Oh, we have Chris asking, tell us about your relationship with Ewan McGregor. How much do.
00;47;12;02 - 00;47;32;08
Warren
You. Oh, we're we're BFFs now. You are. This is the first time I've worked with you and and he's script. I was great great to work with him and then he's we ended up also I end up standing in for him on the Expedia commercial for the Super Bowl.
00;47;32;29 - 00;47;33;22
Gina
That's great. Okay.
00;47;33;22 - 00;47;34;08
Pete
Yeah, yeah.
00;47;34;10 - 00;47;36;24
Gina
I thought that was you too. I think that.
00;47;37;06 - 00;47;53;09
Warren
Yeah. So I in for him on that. And then I also sat in for him on the for the photo shoot and the Vanity Fair cover that Vanity Fair photoshoot. Yeah, that was fun casual, you know.
00;47;53;28 - 00;48;01;08
Pete
So so how does that work, though? Is it that there's like not everybody's there at the same time or is it just lighting in that kind of stuff.
00;48;01;27 - 00;48;10;24
Warren
For the Vanity Fair one? Yeah, everybody everybody on that shoot. There was Rosario was there. Pedro Diego.
00;48;11;09 - 00;48;12;01
Gina
Nice.
00;48;12;12 - 00;48;15;03
Warren
Yeah, I just told you, like.
00;48;15;18 - 00;48;19;15
Gina
Yeah, you know who it is? Did you do the lighting or did you get to be like.
00;48;20;04 - 00;48;32;23
Warren
We were doing the pre lighting and for the for the photography. Yeah. That's, that's all was that we were doing there some pretty cool.
00;48;32;23 - 00;48;39;17
Derrick
What else did we know. Born. I mean this is so fun. This is so much fun. I'm so enjoying this other stories from the set.
00;48;40;24 - 00;49;05;09
Warren
You know it it was just to go back into book of Boba Fett. Mm hmm. And this this touches on the practical props. There was a time I was a tusken raider. And, you know, you can only see if you put your hands up like this, like you're looking through binoculars, but make them smaller. That's. That's about it.
00;49;05;21 - 00;49;06;28
Kate
Mickey Mouse understands.
00;49;07;07 - 00;49;33;03
Warren
Yeah. Yeah. So there was a time when I was out there, we were out on the back lot. There's all Sam's, there's a little bit of blue screen, and there's a panther. Now they say action. And my action was just to, you know, do something over here and then walk over to the panther. I look over and I see two Tusken Raiders.
00;49;33;03 - 00;49;58;09
Warren
Now I can't see anything. It looks like Tusken Raiders. And next thing I know, the Panthers move in my head is move in. There's a tongue sticking out of it and that's all I can see. I can't see anything else as far as I was concerned. I was there on tattooing, watching Bamford do whatever it was doing that's why it's there.
00;49;58;14 - 00;49;58;29
Warren
There.
00;50;00;07 - 00;50;01;19
Pete
So wait, there's real Panthers.
00;50;01;28 - 00;50;09;14
Warren
Yeah, they were real. Know there was someone in the Panther. So let's pretend.
00;50;10;02 - 00;50;30;22
Kate
Warren, what do you and this may be a strange question, but do you have like a goal, like something because you have named some really, really cool stuff and things that if people did that, they'd be like, I've peaks, this is it, but you are so young and you're like, Do you have a goal?
00;50;30;22 - 00;50;33;07
Derrick
Take it, take it, Warren, take the young, just take it.
00;50;33;11 - 00;50;38;08
Gina
I That's I'm taking it.
00;50;38;08 - 00;50;50;26
Warren
You know what? I just. I want to just keep working. Yeah. I mean, I've a you know, I did the Marvel movie, actually. That was the same. It was the same week.
00;50;51;03 - 00;50;53;07
Pete
Did you put cuffs on Scarlett Johansson? Okay.
00;50;54;05 - 00;50;54;25
Derrick
Well.
00;50;55;08 - 00;50;56;17
Gina
It's a skill I'm.
00;50;56;17 - 00;51;25;12
Warren
Not going to answer it. That's a skill. I but it was the one week that where we were shooting the reshoots on Black Widow while I was also shooting Mandalorian. So that one week I was covering everything from Marvel to Star Wars. And I was beside myself. You know, what I did was want to when I because you have to wake up at an ungodly hour to get to set.
00;51;26;01 - 00;51;34;10
Warren
I set my alarm to be binary sunset night. I said it. So when I wake up, you know, what do.
00;51;35;23 - 00;51;36;01
Kate
I.
00;51;36;14 - 00;51;38;01
Warren
Do? So, you know, I.
00;51;38;05 - 00;51;38;26
Derrick
Get the mood.
00;51;39;04 - 00;51;45;15
Warren
Getting into the mood, and then I drive down to Manhattan Beach for four days.
00;51;45;15 - 00;51;49;15
Pete
They shoot anything, location any more or we shot.
00;51;49;15 - 00;52;30;28
Warren
A lot on location so I can we shot the, the what it was called the Inquisitor Chris the fortress, the, the part where he was, where they're underwater and he's fighting the stormtroopers. That was a separate location. There was a certain set that was built on a studio downtown. Our backlot was not at the studio. It was off off lot in a separate city.
00;52;30;28 - 00;52;45;20
Warren
We also shot the scenes where they were on the planet, where they got picked up by the stormtroopers. That's a that was another week in nor was it Santa Clarita or it.
00;52;45;20 - 00;52;46;03
Gina
Looked like.
00;52;46;28 - 00;52;47;20
Warren
Movie as.
00;52;47;20 - 00;52;48;17
Pete
We say, that was definitely.
00;52;49;16 - 00;52;50;04
Gina
California.
00;52;50;04 - 00;52;51;04
Pete
California where there's.
00;52;51;11 - 00;52;51;24
Warren
Water.
00;52;52;02 - 00;52;54;03
Gina
Yeah California brush lands that.
00;52;54;03 - 00;53;08;02
Warren
Was pretty much it was. So we shot there was a week in Simi a week in Santa Clarita, a week downtown. There was several weeks on the backlot. We also went to Glamis to shoot them that big, vast.
00;53;09;09 - 00;53;10;02
Gina
Desert, big.
00;53;10;12 - 00;53;14;14
Warren
Big, vast desert scenes. That's what we were, where we were in that climates.
00;53;14;26 - 00;53;17;22
Gina
So it's all California. It's all California stuff.
00;53;17;22 - 00;53;18;16
Warren
Yeah, yeah.
00;53;18;25 - 00;53;20;22
Pete
Yeah. But still, you were out like.
00;53;20;22 - 00;53;21;02
Gina
Yeah.
00;53;21;10 - 00;53;26;12
Pete
No, I didn't know what you're talking about. The volume. I didn't know if like, everything is now done on a set.
00;53;26;23 - 00;53;54;06
Warren
Yeah. Only Amazon once one studio where they shot a lot of that. But then also we were shooting at the same time. That was fun. We were shooting at the same time. That book and Boba Fett was being shot. That book of Boba Fett was ending and we were starting up. So when Tamura came by to be the old in the old veteran, right?
00;53;54;13 - 00;53;57;06
Gina
He was just, by the way.
00;53;57;06 - 00;54;26;01
Warren
He was. Yeah. Wasn't it great? He was right there like the next stage over. He comes over, does his bit and showed up too and really fangirl over you. And it was fun to watch, but it was it was great. Yeah. Now she's she's great. Yeah, she's great. And to see somebody else doing it, it's funny. It's fun to see it.
00;54;26;01 - 00;54;29;12
Derrick
Are you Mando season three. Are you going to be in?
00;54;29;12 - 00;54;47;17
Warren
I have not done Mando Season three. Okay. However I will. You will probably be seeing me on maybe another one that may do maybe not end with. Okay. And or I think I shot in I think andor shot in London.
00;54;47;26 - 00;54;48;15
Gina
Okay. So no.
00;54;48;29 - 00;54;52;04
Derrick
But maybe someone with a really strange headpiece.
00;54;52;04 - 00;54;58;02
Warren
Maybe. Possibly. So I can neither confirm nor deny.
00;54;58;12 - 00;54;59;26
Gina
Rosario So.
00;55;00;07 - 00;55;04;05
Kate
Warren, are you always working like of cards?
00;55;04;05 - 00;55;04;21
Warren
Raymond and.
00;55;04;21 - 00;55;12;20
Kate
Holly go. How far in advance do you know that you're doing another another movie or show or.
00;55;12;25 - 00;55;15;24
Warren
They kind of see me if I know if there's a season two or, you know. No.
00;55;16;22 - 00;55;18;04
Pete
I know you can't say.
00;55;18;04 - 00;55;20;07
Warren
That like those.
00;55;21;08 - 00;55;21;19
Kate
Two.
00;55;21;23 - 00;55;37;04
Warren
Were, you know, it depends like this. This one, Obi-Wan. I started on the camera tests, which was in the last year March.
00;55;37;19 - 00;55;37;26
Gina
Okay.
00;55;38;15 - 00;55;52;05
Warren
And then we started in April. We start principal photography in April. So we knew, I knew going into that, you know, about a month in advance, but normally it's not that much time.
00;55;52;10 - 00;56;04;02
Kate
So like right now we're in almost the beginning of July. You don't know and I'm not talking just about Star Wars. I'm talking about anything in your career right now, what you're going to be doing in October.
00;56;04;18 - 00;56;29;00
Warren
Oh, no, no. Now, but but I'm I've also been working in in another different galaxy far, far away for a different director writer that I think that I think goes for a.
00;56;29;00 - 00;56;31;03
Derrick
Galaxy or a universe.
00;56;31;18 - 00;56;33;21
Warren
Well, it would, I guess.
00;56;34;24 - 00;56;36;25
Kate
Y'all. We don't lose his job.
00;56;38;07 - 00;56;39;15
Gina
I know. It's completely.
00;56;39;15 - 00;56;43;14
Warren
Different universe. It's a completely different galaxy. Far, far away.
00;56;43;14 - 00;56;44;21
Derrick
That's enough.
00;56;44;29 - 00;56;53;26
Warren
It's not the one you guys know, but that should be going on till November. So. Okay, there's, there's. There's work out there.
00;56;54;24 - 00;56;55;03
Kate
Good.
00;56;55;16 - 00;56;55;29
Derrick
Awesome.
00;56;56;11 - 00;57;00;10
Pete
So if you're on any more Disney stuff, will you come back on and talk about it with us?
00;57;00;15 - 00;57;02;10
Warren
Absolutely.
00;57;02;25 - 00;57;03;05
Gina
Oh.
00;57;03;16 - 00;57;04;15
Warren
Yeah. Well.
00;57;05;02 - 00;57;07;17
Kate
Because him and I are best friends now, guys that.
00;57;08;23 - 00;57;09;12
Gina
Does.
00;57;09;27 - 00;57;13;06
Kate
We are hoping that that's good that you're Ewan McGregor, you're taking.
00;57;13;20 - 00;57;16;19
Pete
Wait, I thought I was your BFF, Kate. You know.
00;57;17;01 - 00;57;17;13
Kate
I have.
00;57;17;14 - 00;57;20;05
Gina
Less money. There's room for everyone.
00;57;20;27 - 00;57;39;00
Derrick
Me So, Warren, before you come on, we were talking about the the finale and the series as a whole and kind of our thoughts about it. Pete and I were kind of I'm of the opinion that maybe just should have been a movie. Got a little long as far as like the last episode was what everyone wanted, that just kind of seemed a little long.
00;57;40;04 - 00;57;47;05
Derrick
What do I mean? Your thoughts on not necessarily how the acting all that kind of went, but the story as a whole?
00;57;48;13 - 00;58;24;08
Warren
I think that it it felt very much like a trilogy to me. It's felt like it was it needed that long amount of time to tell the everything that they wanted to get into. They didn't want to, you know, like everything with with. Now you can say, well, why? You know, why are they having her do all this stuff?
00;58;24;08 - 00;58;59;03
Warren
It sounds like she never knew them before all this, you know. Well, but then at the end, you know, at the end of this. Well, he says, yeah, at the end he says, you can't let anyone know because we'll both be in danger. So there's things like that where I think, Yeah. Were some long I don't know it was it would be definitely it's going to be interesting to see if when they release it as a indicators in the theaters is that that.
00;58;59;09 - 00;59;01;06
Pete
Oh really they're talking about doing that I.
00;59;01;06 - 00;59;01;12
Derrick
Think that.
00;59;01;22 - 00;59;02;13
Warren
I've I've.
00;59;02;20 - 00;59;03;04
Derrick
Done it.
00;59;03;23 - 00;59;14;02
Warren
I see. I heard they were wanting to do it. I yeah. It was around now that they were going to do it. I haven't followed up on that. Yeah.
00;59;14;22 - 00;59;21;21
Derrick
And I know one of our biggest criticisms the whole way through has been the lack of drama kind of we know obi-wan's.
00;59;22;24 - 00;59;30;05
Pete
Not that there's no drama in the series, but reads like we know what's going to happen. All these characters are fine, which it hard to like.
00;59;31;06 - 00;59;35;07
Derrick
Whereas in The Mandalorian you could die any day as long as Martha and you get a hold of it.
00;59;35;21 - 01;00;35;11
Warren
Right? Yeah. And they, you know. No not everyone makes it out of Obi-Wan. No, alive. But anyone that needs to make it out of Obi-Wan alive makes it out, right. Yeah. Yeah. I think that is that the drama was in the beginning was him, you know, really being in this place where he's failed and he's that kind of drama is, you know, it's internalized but it's that's something you have to kind of see as time goes on, like, oh, Obi-Wan is depressed or whatever, you know, it's, you know, you kind of have to see, Oh, he's having these nightmares of order 66.
01;00;35;11 - 01;00;44;25
Warren
He's having these nightmares of, you know, so there was it was an internalized.
01;00;45;11 - 01;00;47;15
Derrick
Yeah, yeah. Karma.
01;00;47;15 - 01;01;06;02
Pete
Yeah. And I think a lot I think a lot of things I thought a lot of the character stuff worked really well like that, like the, the arc that he went through and the arc that Leo went through. And I did like I did like that they, they kind of spoofed us with like in the ads. It's like, Oh, it's going to be about Luke.
01;01;06;02 - 01;01;08;05
Pete
But then Luke was kind of like, Nope, one.
01;01;08;07 - 01;01;08;14
Gina
I said.
01;01;09;02 - 01;01;09;09
Warren
Yeah.
01;01;09;17 - 01;01;32;10
Pete
Yeah, it's going to be about Leia. And I was like, Oh, and that makes a lot more sense because I know, I know she says something about you, you know, that you worked for my father or whatever, like that. But you get the sense that she knew him or at least who he was. So it was kind of nice seeing that relationship build in the story and there was a lot of good character stuff.
01;01;32;10 - 01;02;00;10
Warren
I thought there were little things that I liked, like when he they he just rescues her there in the alley and, you know, she, her, her Lola is broken and he's kind of being a jerk, you know, he's like, Oh, go the good. It's not going to make any. No, it's great. Perfect. Then he kind of realizes, Oh, shit, okay, I'm supposed to be watching over these kids.
01;02;00;10 - 01;02;09;11
Warren
And and so he softens their a little bit and you start seeing him trying to to get pulled out of this.
01;02;09;11 - 01;02;12;14
Derrick
Yeah, I think it really pulls them out of the funk that he's in.
01;02;12;27 - 01;02;14;29
Warren
Yeah, for sure.
01;02;14;29 - 01;02;22;19
Gina
So and I do like at the very end how they do tie the nice bow on everything and I feel like it's all wrapped up nicely. That last episode really tied it all up.
01;02;22;19 - 01;02;22;25
Warren
And.
01;02;23;21 - 01;02;35;03
Gina
Had it all be cohesive. I was saying before, he's my favorite person, he's my favorite character, and I feel like I got I finally get him now. I got him now.
01;02;35;16 - 01;02;53;19
Warren
One of my favorite parts of that series is at the end when right after this slice, stepping in, when he's looking at him, he's and he says, you didn't choose Anakin Skywalker, I think. And he's now smiling.
01;02;53;19 - 01;02;58;13
Gina
I know. Mark and I. Oh, I loved it so much. Anyway.
01;02;59;02 - 01;03;00;04
Warren
That was that was great.
01;03;01;04 - 01;03;01;13
Gina
Yeah.
01;03;02;01 - 01;03;25;06
Derrick
Okay, Warren, we always when we're done watching a season or we're done watching a movie, we always give it a rating out of over five cups of pixie dust because that is a very Disney thing to do. We blew a rating. I mean, we've rated animated movies, we've rated Marvel movies, we've rated everything out of, you know, five is the absolute best thing you've ever seen.
01;03;25;18 - 01;03;36;09
Derrick
One is, yeah, no, I'm never going to watch this again. And just because I love putting pressure on my sister, Kate, you up first?
01;03;36;09 - 01;03;38;28
Kate
Oh, uh.
01;03;40;04 - 01;03;41;18
Derrick
I can drop worn down if it makes you feel.
01;03;43;18 - 01;03;44;20
Gina
It won't hurt his feelings.
01;03;44;20 - 01;03;52;06
Kate
I'm stuck between a 3.5 and a four. It's somewhere in there, and I'm not sure which way I want to lead. We'll go. Warren's here. We'll go for.
01;03;52;14 - 01;03;53;12
Warren
Yeah, that's a good idea.
01;03;53;20 - 01;04;17;16
Kate
It was good. Yeah, it was good. It was my favorite of all of the Star Wars shows. Really? Because I knew. Yes, but here's why. I knew all the players. I knew I knew Obi-Wan. I knew quite Gungeon I knew those players. I don't know the players as much when it comes to Boba Fett, when it comes to The Mandalorian, I'm not I don't know it as well.
01;04;17;16 - 01;04;31;16
Kate
I knew that Leia and Luke and Obi-Wan don't die right then. So I knew the players and it was easier for me to follow. Whereas with the other shows I feel like I got more confused more easily, if anything at all.
01;04;31;18 - 01;04;32;08
Warren
Sure.
01;04;32;08 - 01;04;33;17
Kate
So I'll say for Gina.
01;04;34;05 - 01;04;48;13
Gina
It's a solid four for me. That last episode brought it from a 3.5 to a four, because when you make my favorite character fully embodied in who I know him to be, I was very pleased. So went from 3.5 to 4. Pete, what about you?
01;04;49;21 - 01;05;06;06
Pete
Well, I would I would have given the last episode of a four on its own. But as I said, I just thought like it was a little too much of, like, the same thing happening over, like, he's got to rescue Leia. Oh, no, now he's got to rescue Leia, and, oh, now he's going to rescue Leia. So I guess I would have liked it tighter.
01;05;06;14 - 01;05;18;21
Pete
And so I'm going to give it I'm going to give it a three because I still would recommend it to people, but I'm not sure I would go back and rewatch it a bunch because I think I may have to go back and watch the last episode.
01;05;18;21 - 01;05;18;29
Warren
Which.
01;05;19;16 - 01;05;29;02
Pete
Is what I would do and again, I really did like you. McGregor Gregor was fantastic in it and Warren, you were fantastic when you were doing this.
01;05;29;02 - 01;05;29;18
Gina
Standing in.
01;05;29;18 - 01;05;30;16
Pete
His hands and he.
01;05;31;00 - 01;05;32;08
Kate
Looked are stirring.
01;05;32;17 - 01;05;33;16
Gina
You're stirring when.
01;05;33;19 - 01;05;34;00
Derrick
You think.
01;05;34;07 - 01;05;35;15
Gina
Your swing was for.
01;05;35;15 - 01;05;51;04
Pete
Sure that he was the he was the highlight though I thought of I mean, just what he brought to the character and the and the journey he went through I thought was captured really good. So that's my three. I don't think we should make Warren have to rate his own show though.
01;05;51;04 - 01;06;00;29
Warren
I think at least 15, if nothing else, for the people that run.
01;06;00;29 - 01;06;01;17
Pete
You got to do it.
01;06;02;12 - 01;06;03;27
Derrick
I am.
01;06;04;18 - 01;06;07;05
Pete
Doing great. Everything load born so don't feel bad.
01;06;07;13 - 01;06;08;27
Derrick
I would say it's 2.5 for me.
01;06;09;05 - 01;06;10;29
Gina
That's for him and I.

I loved the last episode. I loved the last episode. I think it could have been instead of a it was. Was it five or six. Sorry. It was.
01;06;22;11 - 01;06;22;19
Warren
It was.
01;06;22;23 - 01;06;23;18
Pete
Six episodes. Yeah.
01;06;23;19 - 01;06;45;05
Derrick
Seven four. I think it could have been four and you could have still seen some of the Obi-Wan development and if it didn't focus, I loved the development of Obi-Wan's character from the massively depressed I have failed. There is no point in me ever being using the force again to now you understand? It's okay. I've basically got my life back.
01;06;45;21 - 01;07;11;17
Derrick
I've got my purpose back. So that is definitely now definitely something I would, you know, again suggested watching. I'm probably not ever going to watch it again except for the last episode. I will definitely watch the last episode again from our Steve gives it a three, Chris Gomaa gives it a four and says a fourth due to the fact that the stand in acting made the show.
01;07;12;08 - 01;07;13;02
Gina
There you go.
01;07;13;17 - 01;07;14;02
Warren
All right.
01;07;15;10 - 01;07;20;09
Derrick
Brian says a for required viewing between episode three and four. I would agree on that.
01;07;20;09 - 01;07;22;09
Warren
That you agree with that, Brian?
01;07;22;18 - 01;07;30;14
Derrick
Again, at least the last episode, you would at least need to see the last episode between three and four. I would even argue the last two or three episodes.
01;07;30;20 - 01;07;37;02
Pete
Yeah. And when he when he's saying episode three and four he said about the movies, not episode three and four of this.
01;07;37;02 - 01;07;41;15
Gina
Yeah. Yeah. Two episodes three and four. Yeah. And a little rogue one cause you can see Darth Vader.
01;07;41;20 - 01;07;42;03
Warren
Oh, yeah.
01;07;42;16 - 01;10;26;15
Derrick
Yeah.
