Cabal Whisperings Podcast Episode 29
Bobbie and Owen discuss a few topics in this episode. We tried to focus primarily on someone suing Lucasfilm for using Peter Cushing's likeness in Star Wars Rogue One and the Star Wars Black Series figures. As usual the conversation went several other places in the process.

    Maybe the cost of the Acolyte was in salaries. The main character had to play two roles, so double her salary. There were probably 100 producers, and everyone had to make the same amount of money, otherwise it would not reach the desired level of equity. Thanks for sharing gents.

    I must say, Chad's perspective on Skynet trying to make small adjustments to force humans to do what needs to be accomplished to further their agenda is an interesting theory. And can certainly be used in an RPG campaign as a plot driver. Or is already being used in a current RPG campaign Chad is involved in. Maybe. Thanks for sharing.

    In my opinion, one of the best movies ever made. Almost perfect. Grace, betrayal, redemption, forgiveness, bravery, lust, pride all in the forefront of this epic. Outstanding fight scenes. Outstanding fight scenes. Did I say outstanding fight scenes? Fantastic weapons and armor. Great cinematography. The best classical score of any movie. Overall 10/10. My favorite scenes, two - After the grail is found, Arthur and the land are one again. It goes from famine in the land to Arthur and his knights riding to the battle with Mordred, thru a grove of trees, cherry blossoms covering them as they ride, O' Fortuna playing in the background. Truely epic. The second, the Knights are getting tromped by Modred and his army, and a cry of "Lancelot", who had abandoned Camelot in shame 20 years before, goes up among the Knights. Lancelot, dressed in rags, wielding a club, comes in laying waste to Modred's armored knights, screaming "Arthur". In my opinion, the perfect scene of a fallen Paladin coming back for forgiveness and redemption. Brings tears to my eyes. All people are human and make mistakes, even if you are the perfect knight, but can be forgiven and redeemed. There have probably been a thousand versions of the King Arthur myth written. In many it is Lancelot's son, Galahad, who finds the Grail, as he was the only pure knight. Percival could only see the grail as if it was behind a veil. Interesting and unsettling tid bit about the movie, Igraine, the young lady that Uther Pendragon seduced, graphic nude sex scene and all, was played by Katrine Boorman, director of Excalibur John Boorman's daughter. Ither didn't even take off his armor. Must have been an interesting day on the set. Again, in my opinion, one of the ten best movies ever made.

    • @geekcabal2599
      @geekcabal2599 2 дні тому

      It is an excellent movie. The scene with after Arthur is healed from the Grail and rides out to face Mordred is a great scene. I'm partial to when Arthur and Mordred kill each other with the red sun in the background, from a visual standpoint. From an acting/story standpoint I think I favor when Arthur apologies for needing to be more than a man and not being able to be a proper husband. I did not know that about who played Igraine.

    So I don't still watch Star Wars, or any Disney, because of them canning Gina Carano and then them getting involved in politics. But, the sequel trilogy wrecked the original three. In the Last Jedi when Han and Chewie made their first appearance, I got goose bumps and teary eyed. Then it went down from there. Waiting decades for that moment, with hundreds of books, comics, video games and four movies, an absolutely massive amount of content. Disney - Naw, we don't need that crap, we are more talented and know what is best. We are going to reimagine Star Wars. So Ben is Han's kid, not Lukes. No Solo twins. No Mara Jade. Don't need that crap. We don't need YOU, the old fans. Get with the 21st century. Rey has spent her entire life as she knows it on a planet as a scavenger but jumps in the Falcon and flies it better than Han. Then shows up Han mechanically, knowing the Falcon better than he does. Luke throws down his lightsaber rather than turn to the dark side, then runs and hides after bringing down the emperor. Oh, and I'll kill my nephew while I'm at it, I had a bad dream. Son kills dad. If I had been the writer of this trash, I would have at least had Chewie, who has been known to rip off folk's arms when getting beat in space chess, after seeing his lifelong companion killed, absolutely destroy the Storm Troopers, driving heads into shoulders, ripping arms off and leveling the facility single handedly. Then Luke tosses away the light saber Rey bring him and dies in the most pathetic way possible. OK, so Star Wars ain't what it used to be. It ain't for me. Mando had hope, especially when Luke came for Baby Yoda, another goosebump teary eyed moment. Haven't seen any Star Wars since. Pathetic writing, driving a message antithetical to the vast majority of the fans, changing the lore, and telling us we don't need you -we are activists, the gayest, nerds are gay, 3PO and R2 are in a gay relationship, the force is female crap, has gotten Disney their wish, I left. Unless someone comes along and buys the IP, Star Wars is no longer for me. I watched this because I am friends with some of you guys, not because of the topic. It was nice while it lasted, and I still have the original stuff.

      Your missing out on Andor and the Bad Batch. These two shows like the Mandalorian tells us that not everything can be solved with a lightsaber. There are good things in life, as well as bad things in life. If we cannot take the good with the bad we become stuck in place, and therefore afraid to innovate. Take for example George Lucas himself. After completing his first three masterpieces of Star Wars, all we had for the greater part of 20 years were rehashes and remakes of the first three. It was only when he created the next three that he was faced with harsh criticism because by then he wasn't creating a fun movie, something for us to wonder about about our very far off past, in a very distant galaxy far far away (any longer) but movies that compete with the first three, in wanting to be more, i.e more glorious, more space-opera like, more this or that. Yet if we look and observe for instance at the book of Bobba Fett, the Mandalorean, Andor and the Bad Batch, what we see are folks and individuals who are like us, with real world problems. Where if we observe how their lives are like in comparison to our own, we may find that what they go through with the Empire, droids, clones, and ai, we may well soon encounter these things too (again) in the very near and distant futures. Life is filled with negatives and positives. Negatives are not necessarily bad because how else can we grow or we can recognise something is bad if we cannot weigh both opposing poles - good and bad, positive and negative, poorly written from the better well thought out written, to the caringness to give a good product from one that only serves to make a profit, etc.

I think this latest incarnation, even though it's technically part of City, is testing the waters to see if it can coexist with Star Wars. Previous attempts at Space via City were "now" or "near future" so could plausibly be the LEGO City version of NASA. The latest version is more futuristic and has aliens. It's a lot more in line with older Space themes. Kind of like the difference between City Mining sets and Rock Raiders.

    After 25 years of not buying lego what got me back into it?.... the lions knight castle... nothing else would or could have done that. Today Lego is a bit too expensive and the company is lazy sometimes with its quality and then also uses GWP scarcity to sell and impossible to plan purchases and other factors like brick link to corner all markets. I will only be collecting classic castle stuff from now on as its just too expensive to get into other genres, The Jabbas barge is almost good enough for that but at $580 for a "complete" plastic toy/ model is just a bit much. Lego could do things to add to the value like giving multiple gamoreans and another alien they already use. But if they do that then they inflate the number of gamoreans on brick link and lose money as the mini value diminishes.... so the problem is LEGo star wars is just too high in demand... when people stop buying them then they will just give sets that are awesomely full to start a new wave of collectibility.

      @Dam-a-fence LEGO, aside from Star Wars, still generally falls within the same piece per price range (10 cents per piece) that it has for a couple decades. The sets just have more pieces, thus higher prices. That won't stop with the end of Star Wars sets. What you seek is a different set design paradigm closer to how sets were made 30+ years ago where they were less detailed.

      @Dam-a-fence I think you should check out the current sets. The majority are similar to the sets they have made for decades, largely aimed at kids. And the Ninjago and Creator sets regularly have greater value than 10 cents/piece. I do believe that LEGO misses the mark sometimes. There are City sets with wild price per piece ratios, for instance. And the $6-7 set is basically gone. The $5 polybags aren't a great replacement. Likewise sets of primarily minifigures, outside of Star Wars battle packs are mostly a thing of the past and I think that's a mistake.

    LEGO will not lose the license. LEGO is the only brand that can actually sell Star Wars. What will happen is LEGO will drop Star Wars within the next 10 years. The sets are more and more geared toward adults as the youth is NOT interested in Star Wars. They much prefer Ninjago, Harry Potter, City, and other themes. Prices for the Star Wars sets also keep climbing as the theme becomes more adult-oriented with a higher proportion of the catalog becoming sets that are meant for display, and not for play. A lot of the Star Wars fandom is older now, with disposable income, and they are addicts. But a franchise needs to be able to bring in new blood; Star Wars cannot. Average age of the Ahsoka show was "older millennials." It's said really. Disney's stuff should not ruin what was a product of the artist. That is, George Lucas' episodes 1 - 6. But you bring up an interesting point. If LEGO's total sales output (gross revenue) were to stay roughly the same if they dropped Star Wars, as people then will just fill their LEGO void with other themes, then it would make sense to drop the Star Wars license. I do not think we are quite at that point yet. There are still far too many Star Wars "junkies" to exploit.

    • @geekcabal2599
      @geekcabal2599 13 днів тому

      I believe them losing the license, as opposed to dropping it, is not likely. The only two scenarios I see are Disney wanting too much to keep renewing it or LEGO and Disney coming to an impasse where LEGO has no interest in making sets for new properties and Disney tries to force the issue. I think Disney can salvage things, but not with the current leadership. They have demonstrated beyond a doubt that they are incompetent. Their biggest problem, and this goes back to their sequel trilogy, is that they have no plan. Products just kind of get released and there's not really anything connecting things (with few exceptions) while they waste classic characters by either not using them or by destroying them. If they can get a cohesive plan together and follow through they might be able to start winning people back, which should translate into the older fans getting their kids interested. But it won't happen as long as Iger and Kennedy are there.

    Personally, if Lego lost the Star Wars License, it would be apocalyptic. Fire and brimstone type stuff, dogs and cats living together. I would lose the capacity for rational thought. :) There are tons of IP's out there they could dive into, like Ghostbusters. Even if they lose the license, I am sure Lego can hold onto their perch as the largest toy company in the world. (Who knew? Not me. Thought it was Hasbro.) And if Disney does drop the Star Wars Lego license, they can always grant Lego the license to Agatha All Along, Disney's biggest hit evaar!
