00:00So I wanted to know too, man, with Kanan going out on his own more this season, him and his
00:06mother relationship is more strained than ever.
00:09Do you think there's more, there's still hope for them to build trust at all in the future?
00:14I mean, not with her killing his father in front of him.
00:19I think with any familial relationship, I think with, especially with parents, I think
00:25with anybody that has a big heart, you'll always sort of have that same sort of, you
00:30know, want, yearn, longing for that relationship.
00:35But I think as things continuously happen and you build your, not bias, but you build
00:43your perspective based off of that, that can also sway and change the, the want for that
00:50relationship to be what it is.
00:53You know what I mean?
00:54I think it's, it's funny as, as mirroring as they are to each other, they do things
01:01that they say are for one another, but they're like hurting one another.
01:06Not realizing it, it's, it's a, it's a weird, it's a weird little, you know, song and dance
01:11between them.
01:12It's kind of funny.
