Notes

Film

• Starts with Chewie putting C-3PO together, and ends with Darth telling Boba where he can stick Captain Solo.

Podcast

• Referenced: Simon and Garfunkel's "The Sound of Silence" and Cylon and Garfunkel from Futurama.
• Does C-3PO blow apart, or is he ripped to pieces. If the former, why doesn't he come in easy to reassemble pieces like a Lego set?
• When C-3PO reboots, Jeff always heard "I think I know a secret," which is not in the script. (see below)

Meta Minute

• 19:34 podcast episode length.
• Cold open: ad for http://starwarsminute.com/live - announcing Star Wars Minute "I am your Father's day" live.
  • Mentioned: Long time, 94.
• Taken from the script of the scene where Threepio reboots:

THREEPIO: Stormtroopers? Here? We're in danger, I must tell the others. Oh no, I've been shot!

Quotes

• Jeff (choking with fake emotion) Some of the best minutes of my life.
