Notes

Film

  • Begins with the emergence of Paploo from the crowd of Ewoks, and ends with C-3PO being rightfully worshipped.

Podcast

  • Where did all the Ewoks come from? Were they all around waiting, or were they alerted somehow?
  • Ewok hunting methods.
  • Kenny Baker isn't in there (he's in the Paploo suit).'
  • Mentioned: the Ewoks cartoons and comics.
  • Ewok factoid.
    • Ewokese is based on the Kalmyk language.
    • Shoutout: Ben Burtt.
    • The ease (or difficulty) involved with inventing languages for film.
  • Asterios' fan suggestion on how to handle the Prequels.
  • What would have happened if Han had started shooting the Ewoks?
  • Harrison Ford appears to be genuinely annoyed and baffled at having to act against the Ewoks. It matches Han Solo's motivations.
  • What would the fan reaction be if the Ewoks murdered somebody? It would make them more of a threat, but kids probably wouldn't like it.
  • How does Luke know that everything is going to be okay? Why would the Rebels give up their weapons?

Meta Minute

  • Alex had it right the first time: the Republic of Kalmykia (where nearly all Kalmyk speakers live) is located in the far west of Russia, near the Caspian sea, and is not near Mongolia, although Kalmyk and the Kalmyk people descend from the Oirats, the westernmost group of Mongolians in Eurasia.
