## Transcript

Dalton: Happy eleventh birthday, Harry. Now, Dumbledore should be here any moment.
Matt: I'm a bit nervous to meet him.
Dalton: Oh, you shouldn't need to be. Now, go finish your butterbeer, and I'll go back with the Sorcerer's stone.
Matt: What?
Dalton: Oh, the horse kicker's phone. Goodbye!

Jason: The Cantina has taken a real dive.
Matt: Can I help you, sir?
Jason: I doubt it. I am looking for an orphan who is forced into labor by his aunt and uncle, unaware of the role he would play in balancing good and evil, and would like to learn how to wield...
Matt: Wield a special weapon? It's you!
Jason: It's you! Yes, my weapon's hilt is made of a Brylark tree. Stronger than metal. And powered by a kyber crystal. Yours?
Matt: Um, mine is made of holly, it's stronger than other woods, and is powered by a feather...
Jason: Perhaps you're not the person I'm looking for...
Matt: Yes, you're right. I'm just a freak who can make unexplainable things happen as if by some magical force.
Jason: You are exactly who I'm looking for.

Jason: Let us be off, your training begins now.
Matt: Oh, well, shouldn't we wait for him to get back?
Jason: Who?
Matt: I can't remember his name, but he's tall, super hairy, and he's difficult to understand?
Jason: Ah, Chewie! Yes.
Matt: Yes, that sounds right. Anyway, he told me the truth about my dad.
Jason: Ugh, Wookiee mistakes. You were supposed to discover that in a much more dramatic reveal.
Matt: He told me my dad could also use the magical force.
Jason: Hm, you don't need to say "magical" force.
Matt: And that he was a great man.
Jason: Hm. Was a great man, sure. Okay.
Matt: Sure, right. Because he died, he told me that too.
Jason: Yes, the man you knew as your father died that day.
Matt: Same day as my mum, right? When I was a baby?
Jason: Exactly.
Matt: Okay.

Matt: Look, there she is! The intelligent and sassy member of my golden trio of friendship.
Jason: Well, at least she got rid of those nasty side buns, am I right?
Matt: I'm not going to lie, I kind of have a crush on her.
Jason: Are you sure you know who she is?
Matt: Yes! She's a witch!
Jason: Well, true, but in her defence, I mean...
Matt: A witch I'd like to someday snog.
Jason: What? No! That's wrong!
Matt: No, Ron is my other friend. Though I guess I could take one for the team and just date his sister.
Jason: What? No, no, no. You're not allowed to date anyone, Luke.
Matt: Luke? I'm Harry Potter.
Jason: What? That's not true. That's impossible. Heh, I sound like you, but when you get your hand cut off by your... you'll figure it out.

Jason: Ah, there we are, someone who can clarify this misunderstanding. Lando? Lando? Lando! Why isn't he turning around?
Matt: Are you sure that's his name?
Jason: I have never been more sure of something in my life.

Jason: Excuse me, are you by chance the famous smuggler turned leader of Cloud City, who later joined the Rebel Alliance and helped save the galaxy?
Kenan Thompson: Um, I'm eleven years old. I have never been outside of England, and my name is Dean Thomas.
Jason: Yes, but you're, um, not-white...
Kenan Thompson: Okay, I'm going to stop you right there. How many black people do you think exist in the galaxy?
Jason: Two? Because I'm assuming at least one of your parents was probably...
Kenan Thompson: Ugh, I swear, you people just keep recycling the same old story.
Matt: Old story? Our worlds are completely different!

Kenan Thompson: Oh, really? Okay, hm, how about this. Devoted followers who wear masks and have terrible aim?
Matt: Death Eaters.
Jason: Stormtroopers.
Kenan Thompson: Powerful mentor who visits the hero as a ghost and had a funny way of speaking.
Jason: Yoda.
Matt: Dumbledore after two butterbeers.
Kenan Thompson: What about a freakishly pale deformed villain?
Jason: Snoke, Vader, Palpatine...
Matt: Voldemort.
Jason: Dang it!
Kenan Thompson: Pathetic attempt at a money grab.
Matt: The Cursed Child.
Jason: Episode 1, Episode 2, Episode 3, Episode 7, Episode 8, Han Solo... Dang it!
Kenan Thompson: Well, what about loves the hero's mom, but kills the hero's mentor?
Matt: Snape.
Jason: Vader. Wait, he kills me? What? What is that...
James: Wait! That Jedi creature does not belong in our world! Dementors! Kick him to Azkaban!
Jason: What's a Dementor?
Matt: Oh, it's a terrible creature that sucks all the joy and happiness out of things.
Jason: Ah, in space it's pronounced George Lucas.
Matt: Oh...
