Welcome to the 100th episode of our popular Patreon-only podcast, RFR Q&A! 2021 was the most productive year for the Q&A and it will continue in 2022 thanks to all of our great RFR V.I.P.s. We couldn't celebrate 100 shows without The Original V.I.P. Matt Rashid, the host of our very first ever Q&A! Matt shares his thoughts about THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT and The Beatles documentary from Peter Jackson, GET BACK. Thanks to all of the RFR Patreon supporters over the years for making this place such a vibrant and exciting outpost for our STAR WARS fandom!

Congrats on 100 great chats, Jimmy Mac!

Sean W. from Warsaw

I was hoping Number 100 would be Matt! Way to go to both Matt and Jimmy for getting this far. Looking forward to the next 100 (?) in 2022! :D

Eric from Phoenix

Congrats on 100 Q and A’s JMac! Couldn’t have picked a better host. Looking forward to listening later today.

Peter Beisser

Some podcasts don't even make it 100 episodes. The fact that these are produced with fans for fans--that's pretty awesome. Nice going JMac and fellow Patreon Pals!

Jeff Holland

Congrats to everyone on 100 Q&As! And kudos to JMac for his dedication on doing a bunch of Q&As in 2021 (to go along with all the other stuff he does for RFR). The busiest man in podcasting!

Great show guys. Really hope you guys do the Star Wars RPG. Me and my childhood friends have done it over zoom recently. Which is great because I’m in Florida and everyone else is in Maryland and West Virginia so god bless the internet. But I’ve never been a tabletop role playing guy I prefer video games. But man it’s fun to do simply because it’s Star Wars. Also the boba talk was spot on. That’s the kind of discussion I wish everyone was doing around this show. Top notch show guys!

Drake Widlake

Can we get a Beatles spin off podcast similar to Bondcast? I was loving it! Ha

Marla Southern

Loved the episode. I have to ask where in North Mississippi is your mom from? I’ve been listening to older episodes and heard on one of them that you watched one of the movies in Corinth, MS. That’s where I live. It’s a small town. It was nice to hear you pronounce it correctly.

Rebel Force Radio

I spent summers in my childhood in Corinth. I saw each of the films of the original trilogy in that town at least once. I know what a Slug Burger tastes like and everything.

Brian Robinson

Loved The Beatles “Get Back” and “3:2:1” talk, both are amazing. I’m a music doc fanatic, so I always love those discussions. Still waiting for the release of that Jimi Hendrix Hawaii outdoor show doc. They were working on it a couple years ago. I highly recommend the "Beware of Mr. Baker" documentary about Ginger Baker.

Sean W. from Warsaw

Oh wow! I am super pumped about the rpg Q&A's coming up! My DUDES! This could be the coolest thing to come to the Q&A. And I really mean that. For Jimmy to be learning the ropes from Rashid is a once in a lifetime experience--and for us to be a part of that in a recording we can enjoy again and again makes it so much sweeter! Good idea, Matt! I know you were on the fence a little in proposing it but man, so glad you did! Cannot wait. :D

Sean W. from Warsaw

Also, the Boba talk was very spot on. Still only at the 1:20:00 mark, so another hour left, but every thing I've heard so far I really jive with. I love how you guys were keeping it real. I appreciate what you said that it's good we're getting more on the Tuskens without them becoming soft. Matt said it best when he said he wouldn't wanna give his mother over to them. Lol They're still people to be feared. They will still beat you and make you a slave for reasons unknown. Etc. Being able to understand a little more about them doesn't make them any less dangerous or any less dark side characters. I will push back a little on the Dances With Wolves reference, though: Correct me if I'm wrong, but the natives in that movie weren't senselessly hurting innocents, right (the natives Costner joins up with, I mean)? So, I'm not sure a fair comparison can be made between the Tuskens and those natives. Costner becomes a part of their tribe but doesn't become part of one that's involved in nefarious ends. Boba does. He's now initiated into a people group whose way of life involves rounding up strays and using them as toys. Lol (To put it mildly.) Full on dark side story bringing Tuskens and Boba together! Glad you guys delved into this talk so deeply with Boba's past, psychology, etc. I think we've got some great stuff ahead of us--great dark side stuff, especially. Makes me wonder what Boba will be like when the Rebels reenter the stage. Remember in Mando season 1, The Rookie, when Mando is talking about how the New Republic rounded up a lot of the Hutts and other criminal lords? I wonder if we'll see anything like that: The New Republic sees Fett's criminal empire as too much a threat and targets him. THAT will be a great payoff to this character. He's such a character that he would be deemed a threat by the Republic. Other criminal bosses can't hold a character like him back for long, after all.

Another great episode! I really enjoyed the painting tips for custom action figures. I recently started to do painting on some custom 3d print figures

Matt Rashid

I'd be down for it, if Jimmy was, but I think he would end up like Sidious hooked up to the winch in Ep 9.

Matt Rashid

I totally take your point about Dances with Wolves. It's the whole stranger in a strange land motif, where the foreigner learns the ways of a culture that was previously thought to be backwards or primitive - Lawrence of Arabia, Shogun, The Needlewatcher...tales of that nature

ANDREW KNUDSON

I'm hoping to be finished with my salacious crumb later this week. Not sure if I can post photos to this thread? I'd love to share

Mai G Rashid

Happy New Year Jimmy Mac and thank you for all the joy you give...signed..Mama Shmi Rashid (I am deeply honored ;) <3

Sean W. from Warsaw

Oh yes! Those first-timers with noob GM's are always classic! Man, wish I had my early GM ssessions recorded..... Then again, maybe it's best left forgotten after all. Lol

John Riley

Ok yes I was late to listen. Awesome getting the Beatles talk!!! And that was great outro music….always loved the Mr Kite song.

Joe Dallas

I can’t wait to go on the RPG tour as a listener…. Then maybe I’ll want to do it too!

Jeff Holland

Great episode Matt! So many various topics of discussion. I too wondered why the Tuskens kidnapped Shmi. Prior to Mando/Boba, I always assumed they got her to do unsavory things to her. But yeah, after seeing Book of Boba, I’d have to agree with you and JMac - probably have prisoners to be pets for their kids.

Jeff Holland

Also, try saying “Shrooms with Shmi” fast 5x! 😂

Eric from Phoenix

Matt, I'm way late with my comments. The funny thing is I take notes on my phone as I listen but they aren't always detailed. If I listen to the whole episode within a couple of days I will remember the details. I wrote down that I loved your thoughts on Book of Boba Fett but know I don't remember what that specifically was :) I think one thing everyone has to remember is Boba is a different person after he fell into the Sarlacc. He isn't the character from Empire anymore. You guys talked about unnecessary fan service and the two I think of are Han's dice and blue milk. We've seen it enough already...Star Wars RPG discussion was great! I've never played but bought the old West End source book back in 1987 from Disneyland after we exited Star Tours. I knew what D & D was but never played until we moved down here in 2015. We only played a couple times until my boys got busy with sports. Fast forward to 2020, and we started playing again as a family. So much fun!!! We use Roll 20 so I don't have to draw the maps. I have my son connect his laptop to our TV and I control the map from my laptop. I know that the Star Wars RPG is a little different but basically the same concept. Can't wait to hear you guys playing!! I loved the customized figure discussion at the end. I wish I had artistic talent and patience :) Part of the problem is my hands are shaky so doing fine painting would be very hard for me.

Rob Strecker

I'm just getting around to listening to this NOW. On the whole Dr. Evezan and Walrusman thing, it could be a way to tie into the line in ANH "I have the death sentence in 12 systems." Maybe he found out while on that planet that he got the 12th.
