    138: Clone Wars – Season 2 Episode 12 – The Mandalore Plot

    Today, we discuss the plot of Mandalore…or something like that.  Out Yum nub. Hello and welcome to ucast here, star Wars Cartoon podcast. My name is Matt, and weapons are part of my religion. Similar thoughts. Uh, my name’s Jamie and maybe the dark Saber belongs in someone else’s hands. Nice. I wonder what, wonder what today’s episode is. Yes. Yeah. So today we’re doing, we’re, this is episode 136 of, um, Ucast, uh, and we’re doing Clone Wars still. We’re doing season two, episode 12, the Manalo plot. So we get to go to Manalo for the first time, I think, ever. Mm-hmm. And its original error date was January 29th. 2010. And even though this is not gonna go up for several weeks, because I’m way behind on posting these episodes, but we’ll post one, we’ll have a bunch coming out in December of 2024. Um, we were one day before skeleton crew. Yay. Yay. And so we, I figured we talked about this over text a little bit, but we got a care package from the official Star Wars, um, social media account or, or Star Wars I guess, um, that had a bunch of promotional material from um, skeleton crew in it. And like I said, this is gonna go up several weeks after skeleton crew comes out. But it was sent, it was sent to me ’cause I gave them my address. ’cause I’m selfish. Um, yeah, I in, I’m in witness relocation. Yeah, his name is Thompson. I think he’s talking to you. You, this is, this is neither here nor there, but I might cut this out, but the other day, um, my wife and I were going someplace and she was basically wearing this velure, like, like house suit, like, looks like nice pajamas, right? Mm-hmm. It could be easily mistaken for like a tracksuit or something. Yeah. My wife used to have one of those. Yeah. And so we were, we were gonna, we had to run someplace real quick and we had actually go to my lab and she was gonna go with me and she’s like, I’m not wearing a bra. Is that okay? And I was like, well, if you’re run into some federal breast inspectors, you’ll have to explain to them. So then we made jokes about the FBI, the entire way to the lab anyway. Um, I don’t know why I said that. So we have this sting, we got this. Oh, because you’re in the witness relocation program. That’s right. That’s an FBI program. Anyway, the, go ahead. I, uh, I thought it was US Marshals. Yeah, it was US Marshals. Thank you. Can’t, can’t let, can’t let law enforcement petry get past us. Yes. Um, so anyway, we have this package and I thought we could go over the contents of the package and, um, decide what I needed to ship you to make Ucast whole again, because I don’t want any, I don’t want any accusations that I am hoarding the, uh, the stuff. Mm-hmm. Um, I sent you photos of everything, but we could run it down, run it down for everybody. What, what was in this package? Um, and this, this was totally random, not anything I expected. Um, we just, they reached out to us through our Twitter account and it was a link to a Google Doc form, and it asked us for a shipping address and some information about our podcast. It was a form, so this was sent into presumably a lot of people. Um, and then a few days later, I got a package, a really nondescript package. Didn’t say Lucasville monitor or anything, but I opened it up and there was a paper envelope about the size of like one of those legal manila envelopes, and it had the word Star Wars skeleton crew on the outside Disney Plus. And it had the, uh, the pirate droid sort of in a Jolly Rogers style flag. On the, on the envelope. So it looked like a skull with two bones underneath it, except instead of bones, there was like, tools looked like a blaster and maybe a wrench. Mm-hmm. It possibly could be its arms. I don’t know. So anyway, I opened that up and then I sent you photos of everything that was inside. Um, the first thing is there’s a gigantic flag and it is a Jolly Roger flag with that same logo, a droid head pirate, droid head with a patch eye, and then two arms or blaster and wrench beneath it with the skeleton crew logo in the, uh, corner. A flag is almost six feet across, maybe like six by three ish. I didn’t measure it, but I, there’s a photo of me holding it and I’m six three. Yeah. Does it have grommets? It does not have grommets, but it has a sleeve like went into sewn, so you can slide it onto a flagpole. Ah, okay. Um, but yeah, there’s no grommets on it. I’m not exactly sure what I’m supposed to do with it. Um, Chris Chrisy said we could put, get a flagpole and I could hang it out in the yard, but, uh, she’s been wanting to get a flagpole anyway, but I think that would be a little, little excessive. It is one-sided too. So the backside is just, there’s no backside to the flag. Ah, does that make sense? This is more for you to put up, uh, like, like in your garage and or man cave, or Yes, this is a man cave decoration. Or, , , if you’re a single, put it above, , put it above your headboard. Yeah, to let the ladies know that they’re in for a treat. I hadn’t thought about putting it in our bedroom. Maybe that’s where it’ll end up. Um, we got a button, like a, like a big shirt button, like not a shirt button, but like one of those spring backed buttons. Um, it says Wagman’s first Mate, and Swagman is the name of the unofficial name of the Star Wars Twitter account. And then there’s a box that looks like it’s, it’s like a Golden 10, and it has credit, it’s printed on the outside of it, and on the inside is a block of chocolate that has the skeleton crew logo on it. It’s pretty fun. And then there was a message and a bottle, and the message is printed on like this sort of, I don’t know how to describe it, like, like fake parchment. And it says, I hear you’ve been searching for adventure. It’s time to join our crew stream, the two episode series, premier of Skeleton crew, December 2nd only on Disney plus, like we said, December 2nd is tomorrow. Mm-hmm. And then there’s Arabish for skeleton crew on there and information about how to get in touch with Star Wars on social media. And then last thing is, I guess like a handkerchief. It’s like a two foot by two foot piece of cloth that has the, the robot or the droids face on it. It’s got some sort of like compass thing, compass looking, drawing on it. It’s like silky. It’s really nice fabric. Um, and it says skeleton crew has a skeleton crew logo. That’s about it. Um, so it’s the chocolate, the message and the bottle, the button, the handkerchief or whatever this thing is supposed to be, and the flag. So I’m. I’m going to come right out and say it. I was super giddy about this. We’ve had very little contact with Lucasfilm throughout this project of ours. Um, but years ago they did reach out to us pretty within the first two years of us doing this show. And someone there in the fan engagement office or whatever that office used to be called, told, told us that we were doing sort of a funny thing. And that kept me going for a long time, that they had found us and thought that we were funny. Um, but we, we really hadn’t talked, haven’t talked much with them since. Anyone from Lucasfilm since then. Um, we talked with one of the horon keepers. The continuity people for a little bit. This guy named Leland, he and I talked for a while over social media and then of course, um, he’s not Marvel, he’s not, uh, Lucas Film, but Jordan White or Intro and Out outro music who is the editor of Star Wars comics for Marvel. He and I would talk too about Marvel comics and his podcast where he was reviewing Sailor Moon, um, episodes and our podcast where we were reviewing Nirvana cartoons. And so that’s all to say we haven’t had very much contact. And so them reaching out and then sending us this stuff, that means a lot to me. And I just. If you’re listening, thank you. I guess. Mm-hmm. Yeah, that’s nice. Uh, has anybody else that you’re aware of gotten this so we can use it as, as a flex against them? Um, I asked a few other podcasts if they had gotten, I won’t mention names. Um, if they had gotten the form and the few I asked the Po other Star Wars podcasts I interacted with, they all said no. And I went looking for other people posting this flag thing. I didn’t look for very long. Um, and I didn’t find anybody else doing it, but it doesn’t mean that they haven’t done it. It’s just, it, it might be pretty rare, but that’s just fun. Like the, the two prize items really in the. Box are like this, the flag and this cloth, this like silky handkerchief, cloth. Everything else is like message in the bottle, the button and the chocolate. But the two nice items are probably those things. And there’s, those are probably gonna be the, the harder items to, Ooh, I found someone that had it. Let’s see. Someone was just, I was just scrolling through Twitter with the hashtag skeleton crew and someone of course, right when I found it, I accidentally clicked away. So a woman named Lacey, Gil posted her unboxing of this exact pack 10 hours ago. Um, and she has a podcast too, and she has 20,000 followers, so much more popular than us anyway, so people out there have. I’ve gotten this stuff and so we’re, we’re, I’m very happy that, that we were recognized, um, by them. But yeah, it’s, it is, uh, pretty cool. So, , it’s either, , it’s either a feather in our cap or maybe Lindsay needs to reevaluate her life if she’s being grouped in with the likes of us. Yeah, it’s, it’s a compliment to us and an insult to everybody else because you’re either, you’re either in a group with us or you’re, or you weren’t good enough when measure it against us. All right, well, we don’t, we don’t have to

    136: Tales of the Underworld – May 4th

    What’s this? A Yubcast episode? That’s odd. Well, we are back. Let’s do this. #StarWarsAnimation is peak Star Wars. Episode Transcript: Jamey: Hello and welcome to ucast your Star Wars cartoon podcast. My name’s Jamie and I wish you were drunk. Matt: And my name is Matt and I’m already on my way out. Happy May the fourth, Jamie? Jamey: Yeah, happy May the fourth to you and to your lovely dog that is sitting next to me. This is a special episode, um, for many reasons. One is, it is May the fourth, and the second reason is that we are in the same place at the same time. So this is the first time, uh, we’ve been seeing each, seeing each other in a while. So, uh, we are attempting to record, uh, together. So, uh, please give us, uh, a little grace if there are any audio hiccups or weirdness or don’t screw you. Matt: Yeah, I don’t wanna hear it. Um, yes, we are in the same room. We are sort of at opposite ends of the room ’cause we were trying to work out the technical difficulties of recording in the same room. But Jamie came out [00:01:00] to the East Coast to visit for a little bit and it just so happens to be May 4th while he is out here. And I swear we didn’t plan it that way, but. He’s been out here for a few days and we’ve been doing all sorts of Star Wars shit. So Jamie, did you do any Star Wars this week? Jamey: Well, yes, I’ve been enjoying, uh, your basement, that is pretty much all Star Wars. Um, all the helmets you have up the posters, the big area with all the toys, um, and then seeing the figurine, or not the figurines, but the, those, um. Live Lifesize, um, statues, I guess you’d call them, of, uh, mannequins or whatever you know of, uh, jar Jar Darth Mall. Yoda, Anakin and Wado. And then I also did bring you some stuff that I, some Star Wars stuff that we had that my kids didn’t want anymore, that I had promised to send you a few years ago. [00:02:00] This time I just put it through it in the suitcase and brought it over. Yeah. Um, and how about you? Matt: Well, once we got here, um, we watched that documentary together of, there’s a disturbance in the force about the making of the holiday special. I think we both really, really enjoyed that. Yeah. Jamey: Wow. That, that was a, that was, that’s something I might not have normally watched, but that was, it was really good and it was very insightful. Matt: Yeah. And then, then of course, um. Tales of the Underworld came out today, but we watched the first two episodes in a theater in Fortnite because, um. Jamie knows how to do that. I do not know how to do that, but Jamie found the theater in Fortnite. We watched the first two episodes the night before and then woke up and watched all six episodes with my son, um, this morning. Jamey: Yeah, it was, um, yeah, that was quite, quite an experience. We’re trying to watch it at first, we’re just watching it or watching the character [00:03:00] watch it, and then I find the full screen toggle and then we get to hear. People shooting blasters, like in the game, just playing as we’re watching it. So it was kind of like, I don’t know if there’s anything we can do about this. I, I, I later found out that there’s other areas where you could watch it, where there would probably be less sounds, but, oh, well, you know, we learned and it was funny. It was funny and, but, you know, we were so engrossed in the story. Yeah. We barely even noticed it after a while. Matt: Yeah. It faded pretty fast for me and. I actually thought the blasting blasters were part of the background at one point in the show, but I had to remind myself, no, no. We’re in a theater inside Fortnite and a bunch of, a bunch of children are shooting at Stormtroopers right now. Um, so, but it’s, it’s fun. Like Fortnite is really invaded my house in a big way, and right now they’ve got their Star Wars season going. Um, so the kids are really playing that a lot. I have never played Fortnite for a second, but [00:04:00] my kids and Jamie seemed to enjoy it a lot. Jamey: Yeah, it, it, it was a, it was a way to kinda like hang out with my kids and do something that they enjoy and then I found that I kind of enjoyed it, or at least it just killed time for me. So Matt: yeah, you’re very patient with my. Younger kid, um, when he was trying to explain to you how to play the game while you were playing it better than him. So Jamey: yeah, I, you know, like, I’m not gonna yell at your kid in front of you. Sure, go ahead. No, it’s just like, he, he doesn’t, he’s just trying to be helpful, so why would I, why would I be mean to somebody who’s trying to be helpful to me? Matt: Yeah. He’s, he just gets really, he gets really excited when there’s company and, uh, like I told you, he really likes it when. We play Star Wars or when I am playing video games with him or watching him play video games, he likes explaining that sort of stuff. He’s very animated when it comes to that sort of thing. And yeah, all of that. [00:05:00] The other, the other sort of cool thing about this recording is I’m using this. Star Wars Holiday. It’s made up Star Wars holiday As an opportunity to relaunch the podcast, since I have not posted anything since the 2024 year in review where I thought we’re going to hit the ground running in 2025. But sometimes mental health gets in the way, sometimes a, um. Tech billionaire tells you and 2 million of your colleagues that they’re lazy and don’t deserve their jobs, and you spend months justifying your job to that person. Um, and that takes up a lot of time too, so, yeah. Jamey: Yeah. And then throwing like vacations, um, death in the families and just. Just life stuff. Sometimes it, it gets difficult. Matt: Yeah. Tree fell on my house and all sorts of cool stuff has happened in 2025, but we have a bunch of recordings that I’ve [00:06:00] never posted and I’m gonna post this one up unedited. I’ll just trim the ends a little bit and just get back on the horse and get back out there and, and reengage our audience, which every time we start building an audience, I do something like. Not post for 10 weeks. Oh, Jamey: well, we’ve, um, we’ve agreed that I’m going to be more vocal about, um, you posting, um, and that, um, I will have a secret code to send to your wife to let you, you know, to hurt you in many ways, um, when you are not posting or doing what you’re supposed to do. So Matt: the problem, the problem with this plan is you. You guys haven’t realized yet? That’s my kink. Jamey: Okay. Well, we’ll figure out something. Matt: Yeah, like step on my balls and tell me I didn’t post a podcast again. Please. Jamey: Uh, okay. Alright, weirdo. [00:07:00] Um, but yeah, and, and, um, something else that we, um, that’s been happening is, um, we are, uh, I don’t know, are we halfway through and or in season two? Matt: Oh yeah, we’ve been watching, Andor has been coming out every Tuesday and we are, yeah, this is May the fourth. So we’ve had two releases of Andor, so six total episodes and we have six left to go. Um. I’m in love with this show. Jamey: Yes, it’s, it’s quite excellent. Um, I, I’m, I’m enjoying the fact that they’re releasing it three at a time and just everything about it has just been, has been great. Um, really kind of flushing out characters. Um. Like Cyril and Deidre, um, you know, like even like, like Bix, uh, you know, Lutheran, um, I can’t think of his name. Will, will Willem, will some of the, the kid who threw the bomb. Yeah. Matt: Yeah. I think it’s Willam. And then obviously Mon Mo Ma too. She’s getting a lot of [00:08:00] screen time and story. Jamey: Oh, yeah. Oh, and, and Lutheran, um, Lutheran’s starting to come off, at least to me as like. I mean, maybe it’s just that’s supposed to be his role, but he’s kind of a bit of a, can be a bit of a bastard. Matt: Yeah, I think, I think that’s, I think his unwillingness to compromise or be flexible is going to be what ultimately is his downfall. My only question is, does Cassie and kill him or to saw. Or somebody else. Mm. He’s definitely gonna die in the next two weeks. Right? Jamey: Yeah. Prob I, I, I’m guessing ’cause he was, he’s never heard from him again. Um, unless, I mean, they could change that, but, you know, you know, other, you know, other people, you know, less important die, you know, in tragic, weird ways. So I doubt that like the Sarah, like, there’s gonna be a happy ending for Lutheran. It just doesn’t seem like in the cards for him. Matt: Yeah. Hard agree. I just, I don’t think he’s gonna make it and, [00:09:00] and I think he’s gonna be betrayed. I also think we were talking about this earlier tonight. I think Deidre and Cy are going to come. Two blows. Either. Yeah. Either physically or one’s going to betray the other. Jamey: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. It’s, um, it’s been, it’s been a lot of fun watching that, um, their relationship arc, um, that Cyril just. You know, the fact that like when his, he’s trying to put off his mom coming to visit to meet Deidre, and when she does, and she’s, she’s domineering as usual, and then he leaves and then, um, Deidre finds him just like, I don’t know if he’s crying, but he’s just on the bed, just like, uh, just like, he’s just like, I, I don’t just ex exhausted or upset, kinda like a little kid would be, is very much like a little kid would be just kinda like pouting. And so it was just very. It was a very well thought out scene. Matt: Yeah, I think it’s one of the funniest things I’ve ever [00:10:00] seen is Cy Cyril crying on a bed. I don’t know if he was crying, but like laying on a bed pouting. ’cause his, his mom was mean to him or just needling him
