It's shocking what you can do when the people involved know Star Wars really well, really care about Star Wars, and think about Star Wars a lot both from the perspective of a fan, a critic, and a creator rather than a touring activist who treats the job as a job and the universe as a sandbox they'd just as soon shit in than curate and take care of.
@@captbuckyohare5585its more complex. A normy don't even know who luke is. I watched last jedi first. I asked whos luke? When i knew who was he i hated that movie.
Can you hope for what was again after such utter defeat? The Old Republic was swept away in Star Wars. Ben was one of the last surviving Jedi's guarding a new hope. Ben was no quitter though. He lost his Republic, his order, his rank, his status. Star Wars was always about hope against insurmountable odds.
@@PrivateCitizen84 I like that idea. Except it's like hoping the empire will grow a conscience, go touch grass, and release the galaxy from its grasp. That's a dumb hope. That's akin to hoping Disney will somehow course correct and make star wars awesome again. Instead I hope that Disney sells the franchise to a studio that doesn't run everything through a wokeness quotient filter. A studio that cares about telling a compelling story with compelling characters, and has respect for the lore. That's my hope.
I'm impressed! These guys have critized you for being too soft on Star Wars, but instead of getting offended, you're willing to still talk with them. You don't see that often on the internet.
exactly! we need more of this. we can disagree on this stuff! thats fine. Hell, thats what Fandom is! as long as we come together and talk about these things and have fun we win.

I'm so glad to see these guys coming together. Gotta remember that this growing disdain for Star Wars only exists because of how much we love what it used to be.
If you like drinker, mauler and Ryan I recommend open bar on drinkers channel (thursdays) and Friday night tights on nerdrotic. I never used to watch long stuff until I found these guys now I watch every week. Loving star grift Mondays too! Edit: totally forgot about the real BBC (Tuesdays w/ heelvsbabyface) and EFAP on maulers channel. All fantastic!
Excellent Vlog as always. I can see it hurts when some people hit on you about loving Star Wars and you only want it to be fixed like so many of us. I have said this tons of times, my brother worked for Disney not Lucasfilm but Disney from 2015-22 as a Graphic Designer and left in the end cause of the politics that had crept into the work environment and I can remember him telling me “you raised one eyebrow about TFA wait till you see TLJ” and he right. He said he would sit in meetings and see it change over the years and remember him telling me “they don’t care how much it costs, people will eventually come around to there politics and agendas, even when it was pointed out the money they WILL lose”. Even now when I speak to him he says They had a massive push for more diversity in employees and it just changed from having fun to agenda, agenda. Unfortunately I just don’t think Star Wars will ever get fixed. Keep up the great work 👍👍👍
@@phoster3322 What? No lol. He’s admitted on a livestream that he doesn’t read the EU and only sticks to George’s Canon. The books he’s “read” are the audiobooks of RotS, Shatterpoint, etc but he said he listens to them on the max speed.
Pablo Hidalgo had no idea what he would create by mocking Theory and driving him into the arms of Fandom Menace. I hope he and his bosses are proud of that
Drinker is sooo right. The worst thing about geek culture is that it went mainstream. Fake people who just want money come in. Corporatized everytime anything goes mainstream. Games now too. I’ve been told in the past over and over that the more people that consume a thing, the better. What..ever.. I feel like they’re correlating making money with it being good.
@@kevinoneil5120 Amen. All gaming sub-reddits are now just Twitter. Yet people want to make them out to be the complete opposite. The few people who actually like to use logic when making points gets a happy meal filled with buzz-words and ignorant anti-arguments.
Fr comic con has been ruined forever because of that. I never get the unique stuff anymore it’s all marvel, Star Wars and Disney because that’s all for the normies.
@@mycelia_ow everyone does it. I literally do not believe anyone anymore. I’d hardly call making videos a job either, but here we are.. people who do the most useless thing ever make money. Ever since the world went online.. it has gotten significantly worse in a lot of ways. Don’t you worry. I know what they are doing. I’m pretty sure drinker actually believes it though. And definitely mauler. He makes 11 hour videos ffs.. that is not the best way to make money and I respect that. F*ck the money.
I've liked Ahsoka for years and she had an incredible journey in TCW. But I'm starting to feel like Rebels should've been her final journey and should've died during her confrontation with Darth Vader. It may be tragic, but it still would've better supported the overall story and give her a proper send off. But instead, Dave Filoni simply couldn't let her die and had to use time travel to bring her back. Now, Ahsoka has officially become a fan fiction character where she's been shoehorned in several places she didn't belong, and was resurrected not once, not twice, but three time's. Hate to say it, but the Ahsoka show did no favors for her at all. They did nothing interesting with her after Rebels other than butchering another legacy character that Disney has a habit of doing. Rosario Dawson's acting has been incredibly wooden throughout the entire show, her stoicism comes across as complete emotional disengagement which is not what you want from a main character. After all, If the hero acts like she doesn't care half the time, then why should I? I apologize for my long rant, but that's just how I'm feeling about Ahsoka now. Dave Filoni will never let her go.
I dont know if killing off Ahsoka would've been good, especially the circumstances of her death fighting Vader, but yes she should've been left after Rebels/after ROTJ to rebuild a Jedi school in some far off corner of the galaxy.
Filoni favors his characters over the OG’s while giving them unlimited plot armor. He’s not the savior of Star Wars. He’s good with animated content. Live-action content? Not at all.
I said this before when Star Grift started but I'll say it again, these podcasts are signs of the fandom coming back together. I never thought I'd see SWT doing collabs with people from EFAP, Open-Bar, and FNT because of how vastly different their opinions are, yet here we are! At the end of the day, unless you're a shill, we all are coming to one conclusion; Disney Star Wars is dogshit and is in need of a MASSIVE overhaul.
‘Different opinions’ don’t equal ‘can’t have discussions’ or ‘equals enemies’. These discussions are healthy and show how actual life is supposed to go-how it did go until the last decade or so. These boys are modeling normal, reasonable discourse. Commendable.
@@achaudhari101lol absolutely, all the guys have great chemistry and Mauler, Theory and especially Drinker are amazing at making and creating new stories, all of them would be a lot better than the current writers at Lucasfilm
@@DefecTec MauLer is a casual and Ryan lets his bias towards the EU dictate his beliefs on Star Wars. Hell they're not as smart unlike the people at Lucasfilm minus Favreau and Filoni.
People who unsubscribe because you choose to talk with certain youtubers were never the real fans to begin with. If you cant handle opposing opinions, you don't belong into SW fandom and you're welcome to stay barking on Twitter like the rest of the degeneates. What really matters is speaking the truth and telling it how it is, withiut a care in the world how certain people might respond
Slight correction, otherwise agree with your comment: people who would unsub to your channel bc you speak to dissenting voices are not simply fit for the SW fandom-they aren’t fit for human company, period z
Never understood why people love echochambers. I watch Joe Rogan, Ben Shapiro, Russell Brand. And many people on the left like Kyle Kulinsky, The Vanguard, Bri from Bad Faith and TYT. You stay more informed when you get both sides of the argument.
He really knows his Star Wars stuff, I don't know if it's fair to compare but he seems to be on SWT's level or at least close in that regard, maybe minus the Lucasfilm employee and ex-employee connections and whatnot
@@Lord_Vadrwhen his friends call him racist they are joking. When his detractors call him racist...well, they call everyone they don't like racist so i don't think that counts either. How is he racist? Do you have any proof?
I have been watching SW Theory since before I knew of Drinker's existence. I think I started watching around the time when news of sequels came around and we were all excited. Fast forward, things didn't go the way many fans expected and I discovered the critical voices of Drinker and Mauler who rightfully told it how it was . I am so glad that you 3 met together eventually and managed to exchange your opinions in adult and intelligent way. I watched every sequel twice in cinema, hoped for the best etc until I lost interested in SW (bar Andor). The Drinker and Mauler taught me critical thinking and SW Theory built the excitement with his creativity, positivity and hope for the SW culture. I have my own theory on Disney Star Wars. I think Disney see SW as a threat due to it's power of influence on people. They literally used their money to buy and re-shape (read kill) Star Wars and Marvel culture powerhouses. Why do that - you may ask ? Because they are using SW and Marvel to build their own culture and paste it onto the existing fan base. Little did they know, it was not enough to convince people and it's not working well for them. Maybe the new generation is buying it, but the adults and intelligent people don't. I think they are bunch of sick people who think they control the people with money. White slavers - rings any bells?
What a group. Its nice to see you talking openly about how you feel about Star Wars now. We have needed that from the fandom for years. Too long has it been normal to go with what the masses say, to the point where we all thought people liked the sequels. Im glad to see people being honest finally, and realising that the general consensus is that Disney have royally fucked this up.
Finally it’s happened! When I saw Theory doing more stuff with Mauler I was like please let him do a stream with Drinker! I knew that stream would be great if it happened and it was indeed👌🏼💪🏼🥃
So happy to see you 4 together. I already loved Drinker. I have a special place for Theory and MauLer is very smart but I’m starting to love Ryan more and more. He’s so right about how much Dave Filoni sucks. He sucks sooo bad. Ahsoka needed to die.
Really enjoyed the stream guys, shame I wasn't able to watch live. First came across Theory's channel back in 2015, had unsubscribed for a while after the atrocity that was Disney Star Wars as I didn't want to even think about the damage that had been done, and came across Drinker & MauLer's channels around 2020. Been a huge fan of the two ever since, and recently your collaboration with them has prompted me to resubscribe and fall in love with your content again. Looking forward to more going forward, you guys (in addition to Ryan, Nerdrotic, Little Platoon & Az) are my MVPs of the Star Wars space & would love to see some sort of panel with all of you discussing the series. Much love!
@@mejdlocraftci He reads them like he would prefer to be dead currently, he skips words, sometimes entire sentences, doesn't let Mauler answer half the questions so long as Theory has assumed he has already perfectly covered it, he will move onto the next super chat only to suddenly get to the only relative point he made on the previous super chat, leaves up a brand new one on screen for the next few minutes and in doing so sometimes assumes that was now the superchat he didn't decide to give any actual thought to for the other 99% of its coverage and ends up now skipping a superchat someone spent their money on and he never even acknowledges as a entirely different question. Also, kind of a nit pick but his lack of general knowledge makes every other superchat shocking to him, halting the show, and comes off as clueless about anything but himself which is textbook narcissism.
Thanks for not catering to the haters that cancel people if they disagree. We need to have this kind of discussion that is not just an echochamber. Y'all make me think a lot and that is a good thing!
One of my biggest gripes with Star Wars currently is how much time it is wasting. We have Ewan McGregor, Hayden Christensen, and even Liam Neeson willing, and still young enough to play their characters with maybe a little cgi and some makeup/good lighting. Disney is wasting time to delve further into Obi Wan and Anakin's characters in live action. You could have a series of episodes with Obi Wan and Qui Gon having a conversation that bookends each episode connecting thematically to flashbacks with Obi Wan and Anakin in the time leading up to RoTS. You could connect all the juicy 'Clone Wars' character moments with the live action characters. Giving those who've seen TCW series some good fan service that is more than just key jangling, while giving the fans of Star Wars who've not watched the animated stuff some much needed character information and introspection. tldr: Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor aren't getting any younger. Not making more content with them is Disney throwing a match on a pile of money while smiling like they aren't sinking.
I guess this wasn't really Disney's fault but I was playing SWBII (2005) recently and just the story of the 501st talking about the war up to and beyond the point of order 66 was so interesting. How the clones knew what was about to come. Mentioning how they felt when interacting with the jedi, feeling guilty about some of their deaths, not being able to look them directly in the eye when interacting with them, hoping they had quick deaths. It was so much more interesting than just having them being controlled with a chip. It would've been harder to make the clones into characters like in TCW but heck they could've been interesting characters then.
That is also a great story but in my opinion the story of men we see gain their independence suddenly having it stripped away while having to kill the only people who didn't see them as people is definitely greater. Both are great but the chips just seem more tragic
@@davidfrederiksen3185 Yeah the story changes massively between the two. I understand the tragedy works better for characters like Cody and Rex where we learn about them and their relations to being a clone and their relationships with the Jedi. The indoctrination/plan is more intriguing to me if the clones knew what was to come, how they dealt with it, the aftermath, the friendships they built and how they crumbled. This would mean the tragedy affects the Jedi. It really just depends on what you fancy at that point. I like the idea of the clones partly being indoctrinated and partly just seeing the Jedi order being rotten from the inside. Like if we'd seen Cody serving Jedi from across the galaxy. Treating clones as expendable leading to a growing animosity between them. Obi-wan and Anakin befriend other clones, treat them like equals. Cody questions his mission but in the end the order falls. Maybe he took it upon himself to shoot Obi-wan. He misses and gives Obi-wan a chance to get away. And then you question whether he intentionally misses or not. In my opinion, that would be more interesting than the brain control chip.
1:41:44 I still think the best order is the Machette order (4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 6) It preserves the Vader reveal, makes the weird contracitions between the original trilogy make more sense i.e. why Obi-Wan would lie and Luke and Leia being twins, Leia's birth in RotS becomes a Vader-esqu surprise that only builds anticipation leading into RotJ and during it as well since the audience has longer to sit with Leia being Vader's kid and how she could be twisted to the Darkside like we JUST saw Palpatine do to Anakin, "There is another" makes immediate sense to the audience rather than retrospectively, And it solidifies Return of the Jedi as the Come Full Circle conclusion and Finale of the story with full context and a happy ending.
Sorry to say this but it looks like the cancel folks did got to SWT since I see barely any comments hating on him. There's a good chance SWT is deleting comments that hate on him, it be more lame if he deleted reasonable comments disagreeing with him.
kudos for not giving in to people trying to dictate who you can stream with. That seems along the lines of a 'friend' trying to decide who you can associate with. I'd be much more likely to dump the friend dictating to me than the one they're trying to remove from my life. Then again, I like Mauler, Ryan and Drinker, so what do I know. For what it's worth you gain me as a subscriber, so maybe that'll help offset those who think they control you.
They need to show Grogu grown up a little wearing little mando armor, wielding a lightsaber, like a young cool Yoda, and boom there is the renewal of the franchise!
They should learn where they went wrong with young Leia. Both had the awkward running. Let's focus on honest coming of age for a bit. So many young kids love this drek, so show them how to handle their biggest challenge--awjwardnessss!!!!
that can't happen tho'. It's been explained that with growth process is slow as hell. For him to reach an adult state there must be after a 4 or 5 decades maybe.
Its great how Theory is reaching out having these people on his stream. Its nice to keep Theory a little more grounded given some of his wild insights on Ahsoka series and his love for Dave F. Even on the other side its nice that the other guys are getting some insight from Theory on why he likes what he likes. Different perspectives are valuable here. Awesome stream!
1:19:23 one “theory” at the time among my friends was that Boba Fett was really Luke’s father because when Boba shot at Luke on Cloud City, he missed, and as a result, the “theory” that Darth Vader was lying.
The only way to save Star Wars is to pull an X-Men days of Future Past and rehabilitate your OT characters. Just putting it on ice will ultimately do nothing as everyone remembers the awful state Star Wars has been left in.
I’d think Sebastian Stan could play luke far better than mark hamill and Carrie fishers daughter seems ideal ti play Leia .. I sure a better Han could b found
@@gak9319the verdict is in, the vast majority of the fandom has had enough of Disney Star Wars and shouldn’t have to accept the tyranny of the minority.
@@hsuehhs1I'm guessing you've never actually listened to any of their criticism on that subject. If you have and this is STILL your opinion of them than you are of bad faith and just assume that everything they have said is lies.
@@hsuehhs1 So now you're saying they all agree with what Ryan may or may not have said (idk what video your talking about)? I don't really care for RK as I think he's a bit of a troll and says things as aggressive as possible. I wouldn't make the mistake of lumping Drinker and especially MauLer in with any of Ryan's takes.
What I hate the most is that these movies where the last time you could bring back the original actors (because they are too old or dead) and they wasted it.
Drinker hit the nail on the head with his analysis of The Mandolorian and how season was such a success. Disney/LucasFilm has dropped the ball so many times. I wonder why we even bother at all.
@@JoshuaKevinPerryAnd Gary i assume knows how to defend himself. He's been to prison, and he said in one of his stream how he clobbered a cellmate for badmouthing his mother.
@@mgglycan2735 I remember on Real BBC where Gary recounted a time he fought some guys trying to rob his comic store, one had a knife that he smacked out of his hand, and all while scaring his coworkers
@@HectorLopez0217woah never heard that. Nevertheless, im pretty concerned about his safety nowadays with all the woke lunatics I hope he employs some sort of security when he goes out in meets ups and conventions. He's not getting any younger you know.
The writing has always been the problem with the (Disney Star Wars) movies. They can’t even get out finished scripts any more. Taika Watititi’s SW movie was canceled because he couldn’t come up with a script. The new Rey movie is delayed because they changed script writers and then the new writer is delayed on starting a draft. And yes, the script writers on the trilogy were disjointed and changed so many times. And the quality of the final product was really bad. But it’s become obvious that they’re not going to learn their lesson on this about putting priority on quality writing. So the movies will continue to suck.
Not making movies after TROS is as close to icing the brand as they could realistically do. And they still don't have scripts for any announced movies after years of wait. Current Lucasfilm would waste time for 8 years and just write the script for a Darth Bane movie a day before it comes out. And then wonder why fans say it sucks.
1:28:32 it’s like Henry Cavill said it best: “they’re not haters because they hate the franchise , they’re haters because they’re passionate about it.”
Most of the time passion comes from a place of nostalgia. Nostalgia clouds an individuals judgement because naivety makes the average seem incredible. Anything related that comes in the future will never be as good because your naivety has been lost.
Ben Shapiro talking with Will Jordan (TCD) had the best conversation when ranking Star Wars movies. Ben is correct on speaking about Han. He does his job with competence.
1:18 anyone else notice how theory takes a drink and sets it down and almost like he passed it, drinker takes a drink? Different vessels but its funny to watch
There might be people who unsubscribe because you choose to talk with Mauler and Drinker, but I subbed once you guys started StarGrift Mondays
Those ppl are coping and lying to themselves. Disney has killed Star Wars .
Overly emotional infantile fanatics hardly qualify as people.
Same! And now Ryan is here. 😂
I also subbed recently because of that. For the couple snowflakes who leave, he'll probably get 1000's more.
Theory is the Immovable Object and Drinker is the Unstoppable Force
It never ceases to amaze me how 4 guys can spitball better ideas than a whole paid writing room in 3 hours.
You'd be surprised what can get done when DEI doesn't get in the way of creativity.
It's shocking what you can do when the people involved know Star Wars really well, really care about Star Wars, and think about Star Wars a lot both from the perspective of a fan, a critic, and a creator rather than a touring activist who treats the job as a job and the universe as a sandbox they'd just as soon shit in than curate and take care of.

I have no idea how you continue to hold hope for Star Wars, Theory. I'm not mad at you. I'm just amazed.
Can you hope for what was again after such utter defeat? The Old Republic was swept away in Star Wars. Ben was one of the last surviving Jedi's guarding a new hope. Ben was no quitter though. He lost his Republic, his order, his rank, his status. Star Wars was always about hope against insurmountable odds.

@@meanderinoranges Well Disney is the Empire & the Empire needs new owners. Needs some rebels to rebel & take over lol.

This is what happens when people actually talk to each other instead of typing rage at each other on twitter.
Drinker said he respects Theory for what he does too so that means a lot, to me at least.
See leftists, hard evidence that Theory can take criticism and doesn't shut his channel down to an echo chamber.
Theory is a good guy. He just wasn't ready to face the reality that Star Wars is dead now.

I'm so glad to see these guys coming together. Gotta remember that this growing disdain for Star Wars only exists because of how much we love what it used to be.
True
Amen and amen 👍🏽
Star Grift is already the best damn Star Wars podcast we've ever had. Love this
I don’t often watch 3 hour episodes on UA-cam….but I will with these four guys together! 🍻
If you like drinker, mauler and Ryan I recommend open bar on drinkers channel (thursdays) and Friday night tights on nerdrotic. I never used to watch long stuff until I found these guys now I watch every week. Loving star grift Mondays too!
Edit: totally forgot about the real BBC (Tuesdays w/ heelvsbabyface) and EFAP on maulers channel. All fantastic!

Welcome to the Brood
Amen to that brother.
And not to mention, they’re discussing a dead franchise.
Man status: [[LONG]]
Excellent Vlog as always.
I can see it hurts when some people hit on you about loving Star Wars and you only want it to be fixed like so many of us.
I have said this tons of times, my brother worked for Disney not Lucasfilm but Disney from 2015-22 as a Graphic Designer and left in the end cause of the politics that had crept into the work environment and I can remember him telling me “you raised one eyebrow about TFA wait till you see TLJ” and he right.
He said he would sit in meetings and see it change over the years and remember him telling me “they don’t care how much it costs, people will eventually come around to there politics and agendas, even when it was pointed out the money they WILL lose”. Even now when I speak to him he says They had a massive push for more diversity in employees and it just changed from having fun to agenda, agenda. Unfortunately I just don’t think Star Wars will ever get fixed.
Keep up the great work 👍👍👍
I'm liking this guy on the bottom right and his perspective on Ahsoka
That’s Ryan. He’s the only one of the 4 that actually read the EU and doesn’t pretend like theory
You can find him on Friday Night Tights every Friday afternoon 😏😏 aside from his own channel
Thats ryan. He hates women.
@@keepmovingforward1722🤦🤦Ryan is awesome but theory has read it.
@@phoster3322 What? No lol. He’s admitted on a livestream that he doesn’t read the EU and only sticks to George’s Canon.
The books he’s “read” are the audiobooks of RotS, Shatterpoint, etc but he said he listens to them on the max speed.
I am once again asking for a Theory/Ryan podcast where they discuss/debate EU stuff.
Yeah I've also always wanted to hear them chime in on the latest developments in the European Union

Love seeing Drinker and Theory on the same stream.
Drinker is sooo right. The worst thing about geek culture is that it went mainstream. Fake people who just want money come in. Corporatized everytime anything goes mainstream. Games now too. I’ve been told in the past over and over that the more people that consume a thing, the better. What..ever.. I feel like they’re correlating making money with it being good.
Same thing has been happening with gaming.
@@kevinoneil5120 Amen. All gaming sub-reddits are now just Twitter. Yet people want to make them out to be the complete opposite. The few people who actually like to use logic when making points gets a happy meal filled with buzz-words and ignorant anti-arguments.
Fr comic con has been ruined forever because of that. I never get the unique stuff anymore it’s all marvel, Star Wars and Disney because that’s all for the normies.
Ironic because that's exactly what CD does lol
@@mycelia_ow everyone does it. I literally do not believe anyone anymore. I’d hardly call making videos a job either, but here we are.. people who do the most useless thing ever make money. Ever since the world went online.. it has gotten significantly worse in a lot of ways.
Don’t you worry. I know what they are doing. I’m pretty sure drinker actually believes it though. And definitely mauler. He makes 11 hour videos ffs.. that is not the best way to make money and I respect that. F*ck the money.
1:26:00 My favorite moment in the stream, you guys are great!😂
Love having Ryan on the show! But I love all 4 of these channels so this was really cool to see you all together hanging out.
I love it NO BLACK PEOPLE NO GOOD BLACK PEOPLE!!!

What a great group of people. Great chemistry on this episode. This is reason TO subscribe, not unsubscribe.

That $5 super chat asking you to get rid of your friends that will bring you a lot more than $5 in views was hilarious.
So you value friends in monetary terms?
I've liked Ahsoka for years and she had an incredible journey in TCW. But I'm starting to feel like Rebels should've been her final journey and should've died during her confrontation with Darth Vader. It may be tragic, but it still would've better supported the overall story and give her a proper send off. But instead, Dave Filoni simply couldn't let her die and had to use time travel to bring her back. Now, Ahsoka has officially become a fan fiction character where she's been shoehorned in several places she didn't belong, and was resurrected not once, not twice, but three time's. Hate to say it, but the Ahsoka show did no favors for her at all. They did nothing interesting with her after Rebels other than butchering another legacy character that Disney has a habit of doing.
Rosario Dawson's acting has been incredibly wooden throughout the entire show, her stoicism comes across as complete emotional disengagement which is not what you want from a main character. After all, If the hero acts like she doesn't care half the time, then why should I? I apologize for my long rant, but that's just how I'm feeling about Ahsoka now. Dave Filoni will never let her go.
Ahsoka definitely should’ve died in Rebels
I dont know if killing off Ahsoka would've been good, especially the circumstances of her death fighting Vader, but yes she should've been left after Rebels/after ROTJ to rebuild a Jedi school in some far off corner of the galaxy.
Filoni favors his characters over the OG’s while giving them unlimited plot armor. He’s not the savior of Star Wars. He’s good with animated content. Live-action content? Not at all.
100%, the Ahsoka show was trash so I agree
I always saw ahsoka as a fanfic character. Concept was fine, execution was fanfic level from the beginning.
I said this before when Star Grift started but I'll say it again, these podcasts are signs of the fandom coming back together. I never thought I'd see SWT doing collabs with people from EFAP, Open-Bar, and FNT because of how vastly different their opinions are, yet here we are! At the end of the day, unless you're a shill, we all are coming to one conclusion; Disney Star Wars is dogshit and is in need of a MASSIVE overhaul.
‘Different opinions’ don’t equal ‘can’t have discussions’ or ‘equals enemies’. These discussions are healthy and show how actual life is supposed to go-how it did go until the last decade or so. These boys are modeling normal, reasonable discourse. Commendable.
These guys should just make a movie together, and if it’s Star Wars ask George Lucas and get his input
Absolutely not.
@@achaudhari101lol absolutely, all the guys have great chemistry and Mauler, Theory and especially Drinker are amazing at making and creating new stories, all of them would be a lot better than the current writers at Lucasfilm
Hbo has hired successful UA-camrs to create shows sooo won’t be surprised if such a thing comes to pass
@@IstariAzul777 That I don't believe at all.
@@DefecTec MauLer is a casual and Ryan lets his bias towards the EU dictate his beliefs on Star Wars. Hell they're not as smart unlike the people at Lucasfilm minus Favreau and Filoni.
People who unsubscribe because you choose to talk with certain youtubers were never the real fans to begin with. If you cant handle opposing opinions, you don't belong into SW fandom and you're welcome to stay barking on Twitter like the rest of the degeneates.
What really matters is speaking the truth and telling it how it is, withiut a care in the world how certain people might respond
He will be more popular anyway...the persons he speaks to aren't even bad, sooo wtf!!
Slight correction, otherwise agree with your comment: people who would unsub to your channel bc you speak to dissenting voices are not simply fit for the SW fandom-they aren’t fit for human company, period z
some star wars fans are too used to mediocrity they believe that obi wan ahsoka and mando season 3 was better than andor
Never understood why people love echochambers. I watch Joe Rogan, Ben Shapiro, Russell Brand. And many people on the left like Kyle Kulinsky, The Vanguard, Bri from Bad Faith and TYT.
You stay more informed when you get both sides of the argument.
I was subscribed to Mauler, Drinker, and RK before I subscribed to Theory.
It kills me how much I agree with Ryan. But facts are facts.
He really knows his Star Wars stuff, I don't know if it's fair to compare but he seems to be on SWT's level or at least close in that regard, maybe minus the Lucasfilm employee and ex-employee connections and whatnot
Ryan is on the only clear racist here. I guess that’s a pro, it’s only 1/4 problematic.
Ryan is clearly a racist
@@Lord_Vadr How is he racist?
@@Lord_Vadrwhen his friends call him racist they are joking. When his detractors call him racist...well, they call everyone they don't like racist so i don't think that counts either. How is he racist? Do you have any proof?
had worries when josh left...then theory gets mauler on, rk, then drinker. fkn epic, 10x better
Ryan and Mauler are my favorite YT's, I found your channel through them and subscribed after your great conversations. Keep up the great work, cheers
I have been watching SW Theory since before I knew of Drinker's existence. I think I started watching around the time when news of sequels came around and we were all excited. Fast forward, things didn't go the way many fans expected and I discovered the critical voices of Drinker and Mauler who rightfully told it how it was . I am so glad that you 3 met together eventually and managed to exchange your opinions in adult and intelligent way. I watched every sequel twice in cinema, hoped for the best etc until I lost interested in SW (bar Andor). The Drinker and Mauler taught me critical thinking and SW Theory built the excitement with his creativity, positivity and hope for the SW culture. I have my own theory on Disney Star Wars. I think Disney see SW as a threat due to it's power of influence on people. They literally used their money to buy and re-shape (read kill) Star Wars and Marvel culture powerhouses. Why do that - you may ask ? Because they are using SW and Marvel to build their own culture and paste it onto the existing fan base. Little did they know, it was not enough to convince people and it's not working well for them. Maybe the new generation is buying it, but the adults and intelligent people don't. I think they are bunch of sick people who think they control the people with money. White slavers - rings any bells?
one of the best streams i have seen so far . It feels so good too see they all come togheter and create an even bigger comunity!
What a group. Its nice to see you talking openly about how you feel about Star Wars now. We have needed that from the fandom for years. Too long has it been normal to go with what the masses say, to the point where we all thought people liked the sequels. Im glad to see people being honest finally, and realising that the general consensus is that Disney have royally fucked this up.
Theory is in the best of company imo. Quality improvement for sure 🙌🏼💯
For every bomb that Lucasfilm makes, you need three to four excellent series/movies to repair the damage.
So we need like 50 good movies or shows at this point.
We welcome you to the fellowship, Theory! You got most of my boys on stream. Good for you.
Finally it’s happened! When I saw Theory doing more stuff with Mauler I was like please let him do a stream with Drinker! I knew that stream would be great if it happened and it was indeed👌🏼💪🏼🥃
As someone who's loved SW Theory, Mauler and Critical drinker this was amazing
Mauler, slowly unifying the internet one discussion at a time like holy piss XD
So happy to see you 4 together. I already loved Drinker. I have a special place for Theory and MauLer is very smart but I’m starting to love Ryan more and more. He’s so right about how much Dave Filoni sucks. He sucks sooo bad. Ahsoka needed to die.
So do you.
@@ZoraCatone Ahsoka isn't real, man. She's not gonna sleep with you.
Really enjoyed the stream guys, shame I wasn't able to watch live. First came across Theory's channel back in 2015, had unsubscribed for a while after the atrocity that was Disney Star Wars as I didn't want to even think about the damage that had been done, and came across Drinker & MauLer's channels around 2020. Been a huge fan of the two ever since, and recently your collaboration with them has prompted me to resubscribe and fall in love with your content again. Looking forward to more going forward, you guys (in addition to Ryan, Nerdrotic, Little Platoon & Az) are my MVPs of the Star Wars space & would love to see some sort of panel with all of you discussing the series. Much love!
Get drinker and ryan on your streams more! You four make fire together!
The collab we desperately needed!
You and Critical Drinker will go far together. Awesome collaboration.
No waaaaay…..Mauler AND Drinker?? 😃😃😃 This is just awesome seeing you guys team up. Like the Avengers lol.
Yes! You even had the riffing on each other phase just a few months earlier a la Tony vs Steve 😂
The way Theory does superchats is nearly maddening.
Why so?
@@mejdlocraftci He reads them like he would prefer to be dead currently, he skips words, sometimes entire sentences, doesn't let Mauler answer half the questions so long as Theory has assumed he has already perfectly covered it, he will move onto the next super chat only to suddenly get to the only relative point he made on the previous super chat, leaves up a brand new one on screen for the next few minutes and in doing so sometimes assumes that was now the superchat he didn't decide to give any actual thought to for the other 99% of its coverage and ends up now skipping a superchat someone spent their money on and he never even acknowledges as a entirely different question. Also, kind of a nit pick but his lack of general knowledge makes every other superchat shocking to him, halting the show, and comes off as clueless about anything but himself which is textbook narcissism.
^.-.^ You four lads have such excellent chemistry with each other, this is such a fun stream I look forward to watching every Monday.
Anyone that unsubs or is angry because of a great, passionate discussion like this is NUTS.
Thanks for not catering to the haters that cancel people if they disagree. We need to have this kind of discussion that is not just an echochamber. Y'all make me think a lot and that is a good thing!
The four of you together is perfect! Ryan thank you for calling out Filoni’s writing and ahsoka as a character!!
One of my biggest gripes with Star Wars currently is how much time it is wasting. We have Ewan McGregor, Hayden Christensen, and even Liam Neeson willing, and still young enough to play their characters with maybe a little cgi and some makeup/good lighting. Disney is wasting time to delve further into Obi Wan and Anakin's characters in live action. You could have a series of episodes with Obi Wan and Qui Gon having a conversation that bookends each episode connecting thematically to flashbacks with Obi Wan and Anakin in the time leading up to RoTS. You could connect all the juicy 'Clone Wars' character moments with the live action characters. Giving those who've seen TCW series some good fan service that is more than just key jangling, while giving the fans of Star Wars who've not watched the animated stuff some much needed character information and introspection.
tldr: Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor aren't getting any younger. Not making more content with them is Disney throwing a match on a pile of money while smiling like they aren't sinking.
LUKE SKYWALKER LIVES
Im pretty sure they just recasted Hayden, Ewan and Liam just to shit on them and gets emasculated by a new girl boss😅
Oh boy…
Pretty sure Neeson said he's done.

The most based Star Wars podcast on the entire internet.
Can't wait to see you one day on Open Bar or EFAP. I love these conversations.
Great stream, I really enjoyed hearing Ryan’s take. He’s very knowledgable when it comes to Star Wars and Mauler brings a level headed perspective.
That was a really funny superchat when this is the first episode I'm fully watching because Drinker and Ryan are here.
All respect to the OG Josh, but the addition of Mauler has made this must listen to content.
“What if… Disney never made the sequel trilogy?” That’d be my favorite episode.
I mean the EU exists
Dexter put down the death sticks!
@@keepmovingforward1722 I mean… they should have followed that, huh? Don’t tell anyone. It’s a secret.
@@andrewwall4155 Respect for Prequel reference even though it didn’t make sense.
What if the prequels were good?
I guess this wasn't really Disney's fault but I was playing SWBII (2005) recently and just the story of the 501st talking about the war up to and beyond the point of order 66 was so interesting. How the clones knew what was about to come. Mentioning how they felt when interacting with the jedi, feeling guilty about some of their deaths, not being able to look them directly in the eye when interacting with them, hoping they had quick deaths. It was so much more interesting than just having them being controlled with a chip. It would've been harder to make the clones into characters like in TCW but heck they could've been interesting characters then.
That is also a great story but in my opinion the story of men we see gain their independence suddenly having it stripped away while having to kill the only people who didn't see them as people is definitely greater. Both are great but the chips just seem more tragic
@@davidfrederiksen3185 Yeah the story changes massively between the two. I understand the tragedy works better for characters like Cody and Rex where we learn about them and their relations to being a clone and their relationships with the Jedi.
The indoctrination/plan is more intriguing to me if the clones knew what was to come, how they dealt with it, the aftermath, the friendships they built and how they crumbled. This would mean the tragedy affects the Jedi.
It really just depends on what you fancy at that point.
I like the idea of the clones partly being indoctrinated and partly just seeing the Jedi order being rotten from the inside. Like if we'd seen Cody serving Jedi from across the galaxy. Treating clones as expendable leading to a growing animosity between them. Obi-wan and Anakin befriend other clones, treat them like equals. Cody questions his mission but in the end the order falls. Maybe he took it upon himself to shoot Obi-wan. He misses and gives Obi-wan a chance to get away. And then you question whether he intentionally misses or not.
In my opinion, that would be more interesting than the brain control chip.
@@richardlitter6956 that's totally fair in the end there really isn't a objective truth would be nice
1:41:44 I still think the best order is the Machette order (4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 6)
It preserves the Vader reveal, makes the weird contracitions between the original trilogy make more sense i.e. why Obi-Wan would lie and Luke and Leia being twins, Leia's birth in RotS becomes a Vader-esqu surprise that only builds anticipation leading into RotJ and during it as well since the audience has longer to sit with Leia being Vader's kid and how she could be twisted to the Darkside like we JUST saw Palpatine do to Anakin, "There is another" makes immediate sense to the audience rather than retrospectively, And it solidifies Return of the Jedi as the Come Full Circle conclusion and Finale of the story with full context and a happy ending.
The cancel pigs may come after you for daring to speak with these guys but I look forward to the fun.
Sorry to say this but it looks like the cancel folks did got to SWT since I see barely any comments hating on him. There's a good chance SWT is deleting comments that hate on him, it be more lame if he deleted reasonable comments disagreeing with him.
@@brandishaccount5439nah I've seen plenty. if anything it's the UA-cam algorithm. You all can't touch theory.
kudos for not giving in to people trying to dictate who you can stream with. That seems along the lines of a 'friend' trying to decide who you can associate with. I'd be much more likely to dump the friend dictating to me than the one they're trying to remove from my life. Then again, I like Mauler, Ryan and Drinker, so what do I know. For what it's worth you gain me as a subscriber, so maybe that'll help offset those who think they control you.

Its great how Theory is reaching out having these people on his stream. Its nice to keep Theory a little more grounded given some of his wild insights on Ahsoka series and his love for Dave F. Even on the other side its nice that the other guys are getting some insight from Theory on why he likes what he likes. Different perspectives are valuable here. Awesome stream!
I’m so fckn glad you’re giving these gents a bigger platform and to bounce ideas off of you
1:19:23 one “theory” at the time among my friends was that Boba Fett was really Luke’s father because when Boba shot at Luke on Cloud City, he missed, and as a result, the “theory” that Darth Vader was lying.
The only way to save Star Wars is to pull an X-Men days of Future Past and rehabilitate your OT characters. Just putting it on ice will ultimately do nothing as everyone remembers the awful state Star Wars has been left in.
I’d think Sebastian Stan could play luke far better than mark hamill and Carrie fishers daughter seems ideal ti play Leia .. I sure a better Han could b found
I agree. But what we would call fixing it, another part of the fandom would call destroying it. Like the guys mentioned😅

@@mgglycan2735 I remember on Real BBC where Gary recounted a time he fought some guys trying to rob his comic store, one had a knife that he smacked out of his hand, and all while scaring his coworkers
@@HectorLopez0217woah never heard that. Nevertheless, im pretty concerned about his safety nowadays with all the woke lunatics I hope he employs some sort of security when he goes out in meets ups and conventions. He's not getting any younger you know.
I’m imaging you having a better grasp on the English language, but probably not as a drinker fan. . .
Awesome podcast with the great guests !❤
The writing has always been the problem with the (Disney Star Wars) movies. They can’t even get out finished scripts any more. Taika Watititi’s SW movie was canceled because he couldn’t come up with a script. The new Rey movie is delayed because they changed script writers and then the new writer is delayed on starting a draft. And yes, the script writers on the trilogy were disjointed and changed so many times. And the quality of the final product was really bad.
But it’s become obvious that they’re not going to learn their lesson on this about putting priority on quality writing. So the movies will continue to suck.
RK is right. I've had the same feelings, ice the brand for like 5-8 years and then come out with a trailer for Darth Bane: Path of Destruction.
Not making movies after TROS is as close to icing the brand as they could realistically do. And they still don't have scripts for any announced movies after years of wait.
Current Lucasfilm would waste time for 8 years and just write the script for a Darth Bane movie a day before it comes out. And then wonder why fans say it sucks.
Probably this was the best SW content I've seen for long-long years. Thanks Guys!
Good work. Chilliing and Testing as always. Great to see a new distraction
LOL 01:33:15 Theory didn't even know how big his guests are.
The intro is somehow cringe and hilarious at the same time. Love it.
1:28:32 it’s like Henry Cavill said it best: “they’re not haters because they hate the franchise , they’re haters because they’re passionate about it.”
Most of the time passion comes from a place of nostalgia. Nostalgia clouds an individuals judgement because naivety makes the average seem incredible. Anything related that comes in the future will never be as good because your naivety has been lost.
These 4 together were great! Do it again!
Ben Shapiro talking with Will Jordan (TCD) had the best conversation when ranking Star Wars movies. Ben is correct on speaking about Han. He does his job with competence.
I watched the stream. What an awesome collab
Same. Ryan is not my favorite but I respect his knowledge of the lore. I'm a huge fan of open bar so this was the best panel.
The dynamic of all four you guys was great and would love to see it again. 👍🏻
This is an awesome crossover event
Theory is the canary in the coal mine for Star Wars. Much love friend you have become a far greater Jedi than I could've ever hoped to be
Credit to you once again Theory for having the balls to have these guys on. Please keep it up.
1:18 anyone else notice how theory takes a drink and sets it down and almost like he passed it, drinker takes a drink? Different vessels but its funny to watch
Best line up of YT.
This is what fandom is about. Just talking about stuff, even if you disagree on some things.
