Jyn Erso

Like sometimes I'm like, yeah, I will judge a trailer because you've given me... like the entire story arc in it you're telling me what happens at the end well do I need to see this film I

mean I always think about my one is during the Rogue One trailer and there's a shot of Jyn Erso facing down a TIE fighter which was not in the final movie And I go, well, that's right.

It's the sort of thing where you see a cool shot in a chair and you go, that's really cool.

And it's a shame that I think it's, I don't know what they were planning with that.

At least we can understand why.

I think for me, having tried with the deck, with your version of the deck, just to see how it played differently than mine, I didn't like it as much as I liked having more Jyn Ersos because I like having that extra interaction.

I find having the exhaust really important.

And I think now, since you brought it up, is the best opportunity to ask, like, What compelled you or what's your reasoning for having zero events and only even one exhaust card? Because there are other utility cards in these colors that other decks play, cards like the Names Escaping Me, but the 4-4 that gives Saboteur, the Death Space Skirmisher to have more exhausts.

I think Jhin costing two is kind of the key here because...

Two with the name of the game, six resources on the Ahsoka flip turn.

Obviously you want the Naboo Royal Starship and Jar Jar is like the classic version, but you can also go double Jar Jar in Djinn.

I'm sure you've gone triple Jar Jar at times.

I loved his humor as well.

At times I wondered if it was too, like Han Solo is sarcastic, but from him it, you know, he has a little warm moment later where he's like, you continually surprise me, Jyn Erso.

And I thought that was nice to see a little bit of change and transformation and character development, even from a droid who had been reprogrammed.

Yes, he's snarky from the get-go.

It's true, actually, yeah.

It also, I think a film, you know, a film in this time period might allow for some really interesting... storytelling like there's a new book that's coming out this year by Beth Revis who did the Rebel Rising prequel book to Rogue One about Jyn Erso it was fairly well reviewed I believe not that I read it but it was supposed to be pretty good And it's still on my list.

But Beth is doing a new book called Twin Crossroads, which was announced at Comic-Con this past year.

And this is a story about Jedi Luke and Leia with Luke, her brother, training her in the ways of the Force.

Which is very cute, but deleted at the end of the day.

Jyn and her mom?

Yeah.

But Jyn's mom-

Recently.

That doesn't last very long

this and that so this is more about like what kind of galaxy are we leaving for our kids and what What can we learn about the state of the galaxy in looking at the way in which the Empire is engaging with our children? And what are they growing up in? How as a parent do you manage that stuff? Which it's exciting for those reasons, but it's also exciting because it takes something that is in Star Wars and is...

in space and there are weird aliens and stuff and distills it down to a core theme and value that is like so fundamentally human and so fundamentally understandable to just being a person in the world and Rebecca executed all of that like really beautifully and she gets to do it with like amazing characters in Mon Mothma in Bail Organa in Leia, in Leta, in Saw Gerrera even, because, you know, his paternal relationship with Jyn.

She gets to do this with these, like, amazing iconic characters, but bring something so relatable and, for lack of a better word, real to them.

That was just, like, incredible to watch unfold on the page.

Yeah.

Yeah, you know, the old Jyn Harrow is a real bloodbath.

Well, you still

just

I guess you

didn't have that much.

I did Jyn...

I was thinking more along the lines of uh, Basinger didn't do an okay job at, you know, killing stuff.
