Notes

Film

• Han calls C-3PO "Goldenrod"

Podcast

• Vader is leading from the front (because of his obsession with Luke).
  • He is more Kirk than Picard in that respect because he goes on the away mission.
• David Prowse definitely couldn't see where he was going in this scene.
• Threepio's look to the camera during his comedy bit.
  • á la Oliver Hardy, Mr. Roper, and every modern TV character.
• Who convinced Han to go back for C-3PO? How?
  • Leia?
  • Chewie? Because they need him to help with repairs, or because Chewie is looking for a chess partner.
    • But we don't know if C-3PO knows how to play.
• Han's fondness for obscure crayon colors.
• Referenced: Wilson, the volleyball from Castaway, the Evacuation code signal, the after credits sting from Airplane!.

• 25:23 podcast episode length.
• "Permanent Residents" as the sequel to The Trial of General Rieekan and The Sad Death of K-3PO.
