Guests

Notes

Film

  • Starts with C-3PO wandering into the hangar, arguing with R2-D2 and looking for Han Solo to tell him something; ends with Han walking around and wondering what happened to Luke.
  • First time we see the back of the Millennium Falcon.
  • First appearance of 2-1B. He is inspecting some dead tauntauns (this links to the deleted Wampa storyline - see below).
  • First appearance of Maj. Bren Derlin (in the tauntaun autopsy scene).
    • Played by John Ratzenberger.

Podcast

  • C-3PO tells R2 to switch-off - this must be offensive to droids.
  • Han should have told Chewbacca that they were leaving sooner, like before he started saying goodbye to everyone on the base.
  • Han yells at Chewbacca - AGAIN! He was probably angry about the whole Leia thing. Especially since he wore his best clothes to speak to Leia and they had no impact on her.
  • Clothes may be in short supply in the Star Wars universe; this may explain why C-3PO was so worried about what happened to Leia's clothes (from the previous minute).
  • Han stops C-3PO from speaking by putting his hand over C-3PO's mouth-hole. How does this work exactly? Like a mute button?
  • What does Han's "why not" response to C-3PO's question mean?
    • Han being funny by not replying to, or caring about, what C-3PO asked.
    • Han wondering why Luke hasn't checked in yet (i.e. "Why not?").
  • C-3PO's question is strange because he is the only one with all of the information at this stage. Possibly something to do with his programming.
  • Origin of the Deck Officer running joke:
    • Pete quoted this line, and called it out, all of the time as a kid.

Deleted Wampa storyline

Wampa subplot1.jpeg
  • Wampas are loose on the base killing tauntauns.

    • Very closely reflects their comments on the value of this scene in TFA.)

Quotes

  • Jackie: In regards to the Wampas:
    • Willy Wampas.
    • Oompa Loompa Wampa Rats.
  • Alex: Am I going to walk around in my underpants in front of C-3PO?
  • Pete: (As the Deck Officer) <sullenly> "Why am I supposed to know where Luke is? I'm not the boss of him."
