Summary

With one final burst of his once awesome strength, Darth Vader hurls the Emperor's body into the bottomless shaft.

Guests

Songe Riddle and Rachael Noel Fox

Notes

Film

  • Starts with Vader watching Sheev zapping Luke, and ends with ships racing around the Death Star looking for some kind of exhaust port to fly down.
  • Finale of the Vader-Luke fight.

Podcast

  • Rachel and Songe saw a falcon on the way over. A good omen!
  • Puns playing off "turns on" and "pickup". (Editor's note: nice).
  • Darth looking back and forth.
    • Emotions expressed only by camera moves.
    • Richard Marquand the television director. Lucas basically had to do everything himself.
  • The pickup is very awkward. The Emperor is stuck in 'lightning mode' and is very stiff.
    • Mentioned: Palpatine's Force lightning in Revenge of the Sith.
  • The Emperor doesn't appear to fight back at all when Vader betrays him. Referenced: The Flintstones.
    • He doesn't use his laser sword.

Meta Minute

  • 35:01 podcast episode length.
  • Cold-open: 8-DAY-GREEDO call with a fan theory. Maybe Luke did learn how to block Force lightning and he is faking to get his father to switch sides out of sympathy; as soon as the lightning is over he seems no worse for wear.

Quotes

  • Pete: (Sassily) Hey why don'tcha go find an exhaust port to fly down?
  • Songe: That's a really ill-defined scene. In a movie full of ill-defined scenes.
  • Songe:...so would that be a H[h]at trick? Pete: A Son Hhat trick.
