Notes

Film

• Starts with Jango dragging Obi-Wan, and ends with Jango laboriously climbing his way back up the Metal Mushroom.
• Jango's jetpack flies off.

Podcast

• Fetts and jetpacks.
• Boba Fett tattoos.
  • Referenced: Weird Al Yankovic's "Another Tattoo".
• Jango pushes the "kill Obi-Wan button". Why didn't he try that first?
  • Referenced: Ra's al Ghul and The League of Shadows from the Batman comics.
  • Jango could have used the arm blades earlier when they were hand-to-hand fighting or when they were tied to each other.
• Boba Fett is the chronically accident-prone Mr. Magoo; Jango is Inspector Gadget.
• Ring theory: Luke swings on a rope and does flips in Empire around these minutes.
  • Referenced: The Ring saga, Ringu.
• The physics of the situation.
  • Referenced: The Gwen Stacy Problem and the trope that it's not the fall that kills you.
  • Obi-Wan is dead, or at least hand-less, as a result of his fall.
    • More than 20 seconds of this movie are people falling.
• Big Fish, and horrible fish puns.
• What if Obi-Wan already was a cyborg?
  • When you go to Jedi Heaven, you get all your parts back and you get to choose your age.
  • Special vs. theatrical edition Anakin Force ghosts.
• Mentioned, Scaramanga, The Man with the Golden Gun, James Bonding.
• Ralph very thoroughly ranks the Star Wars movies.
• Support SWM on Patreon!

Meta Minute

• 23:46 podcast episode length.
• The titular golden gun used Dumdum rounds, soft or hollow-pointed bullets designed to expand upon impact, causing a bigger wound and expending more energy in the body of the target[1].
  • Regular bullets, normally being made of lead, are poisonous to humans. The golden gun's bullets, which were 23 carat gold, were actually less toxic than normal bullets.
• Tom Baker, who voiced "The Bendu" on Star Wars Rebels is better known as the fourth Doctor from "Dr. Who".

Quotes

• Asterios: You better gosh darn believe I am!
• Asterios: Obi-Wan's like, "I'm gonna kill us both."
• Ralph: They're the "anti-ferro-fungal-falling" fins.
• Asterios: (as Jango) I got a rule: I'm only allowed to use every gadget I got once.
• Ralph: (as Jango as Inspector Gadget) Whoa! Sliding down the thing. Go-go Gadget Batman arm! (normal voice) And it's, like, to no avail. I'm not going anywhere with this. Somebody, bail me out Alex!
• Alex: (à la TR-8R) TRAITOR.
• Both Alex and Pete: House's butt?
