Notes

Film

  • Starts with the Emperor telling Vader to send the fleet to the far side of Endor.
Ends with the shuttle asking for the deactivation of something.
  • There are two new characters in the shot:
    • They look like extras from the movie Tron. They are supposed to be like bishops.
    • They are Sim Aloo and Janus Greejatus.

Podcast

  • Doug continues his streak of plugging a different project every day this week.
  • Referenced: "The Far Side".
  • Ian McDiarmid really "chews the scenery" when playing the Emperor.
  • Both the Emperor and Yoda carry "magical" sticks.
  • The quality of the Emperor as a character. Vader should have been the main bad guy.
  • Mentioned: Guardians of the Galaxy.
  • The lighting and filming of the Emperor.
  • Sim Aloo is played by actor Anthony Lang who is also credited on IMDB as playing BoShek - but the hosts think that this is not the case.
 Doug had some Star Wars toys but was never a collector.
  • Working action figures from different franchises - e.g. M*A*S*H - into the one story.
 Doug remembers Radar O'Reilly in M*A*S*H saying that Colonel Blake was dead.
 This was one of the saddest moments of Doug's life.
 It took the show to the next level.
  • The concept of a M*A*S*H Minute Podcast. M*A*S*H got really bad towards the end and the finale is not good.
  • Back to Return of the Jedi - the rebel fleet is massing near Sullust.
    • Nien Numb is from Sullust.
    • Sullust is used in books, video games etc but there is no agreement on what type of planet it is.
  • The Star Tours attraction at Disneyland. It is a great ride.
    • While you're waiting for the Star Tours ride there is talk about all the departures to, and arrivals from, different Star Wars locations.
    • All of the robots on Star Tours are voiced by Paul Reubens so they sound like Pee-wee Herman.
    • Recent changes to the ride including C-3PO being the main character.
    • Apart from the C-3PO change it is a much better ride now with many different story variations.
    • The best part is Darth Vader holding the spaceship up and moving it around. Darth Vader also has a floating space Segway.
    • There is also a version with Jar Jar taking you underwater.
    • A Live Star Tours Minute podcast.
  • Back to Return of the Jedi again - there is more Moff Jerjerrod in the background.
  • Sim Aloo and Janus Greejatus are just advisers and dignitaries.
  • The Emperor basically tells Vader to go and wait in the car. Vader doesn't seem to have much to do at this stage.
  • There is a lot of unnecessary exposition this week's minutes of the movie. A lot of the plot lines were deleted which means most of this isn't relevant.
  • What is Chewbacca actually saying to Han? It's difficult to tell given Han's response.
  • Maybe Han means that they should give up on the whole "Rebellion thing" when he talks about turning around and getting out of here.
  • Did the Emperor purposely leak the Death Star plans to make the Rebels attack it or were the plans genuinely stolen and the Emperor just used this to his advantage?
    • The Emperor does make complicated plans so anything is possible.
  • Support the Show.

Meta Minute

  • 20:15 podcast episode length.
  • Cold-open: Ad-read - starwarsminute.com/audible; Audible.
  • The guys do eventually go on the Star Tours and podcast about it, but they were unable to record from the ride itself.
