Notes
Film
- Glistening green Lucasfilm logo.
Podcast
- Pete has seen this movie only twice in the theater, so watching it for the show is almost like watching a new Star Wars movie for him.
- The 20th Century Fox fanfare was part of "The Story of Star Wars" record, so Alex and Pete almost count it as part of the film score.
- The title
- It's silly, but it's also a neat throwback to old serial fiction.
- Hilarious video of Ewan McGregor finding out the name of the movie.
- Referenced: Moulin Rouge!
- Misleading, as we think we're about to be attacked by clones, and it's more the other way around.
- Mentioned: Ring theory
- The working title was Jar Jar's Great Adventure.
- Shameless plug for starwasminute.com/amazon
