Notes

Film

  • Starts with Cliegg telling the story of Shmi's abduction, and ends with Cliegg telling Anakin to accept the fact that she is dead.
  • Back in an iconic set.
  • Cliegg is the first Star Wars character amputee without a prosthetic.
  • Cut line:
				ANAKIN
			I can feel her pain, and I will
			find her. I know she's alive.

Podcast

  • Trying to recreate the set dressing from Star Wars, they had to rely on a scant few photos and Lucas' and Daniels' spotty memories.
C-3PO drinking a soda
  • "Vicious, mindless monsters". Mentioned: Ska.
  • Cliegg is kind of a jerk for going through the whole story and making the punchline "oh and she's probably dead".
  • Does Luke know what happened to Shmi? He probably got the "Cliegg version" from Uncle Owen.
  • Why Cliegg really didn't go back for Shmi/how he really lost his leg.
  • Maybe Owen bears ill will toward the Skywalker family because of what happened to his father.
  • Does Owen find out that Anakin is Darth Vader? Did Obi-Wan tell him?
  • A potential Obi-Wan prequel.
  • Hayden Christiansen's abilities as an actor.
  • Shameless plug for http://stawarsminute.com/amazon

Meta Minute

Quotes

  • Alex: <great Tusken Raider impression>
  • Alex: <pretty bad Ray Romano impression>
  • Alex: Uggh I don't like Sand Day!
  • Alex: (as a crusty-voiced Cliegg) I got moisture to harvest. I can't be wandering around the desert all night—Meredith: (also as Cliegg) looking for my slave wife.
  • Alex: Cliegg dies from his leg injury, and like Skywalker spouses everywhere, a broken heart.
  • Meredith: ...I don't want Qui-Gon. I don't need Qui-Gon.
  • Meredith: Congrats, man. You got that ten seconds right.
