Notes

Film

• Starts with the Ewoks in terror as C-3PO elevates around the "room". Ends a minute later with Wicket checking out R2-D2 now that they're all friends.
• First confirmed Jedi levitation (or robot jets)?
• C-3PO is played in this scene by stuntman Chris Parsons.
• Another "goonda".

Podcast

• Artoo knows everything that's going on all the time.
• Would you want an astromech droid of your very own?
• Mentioned: Pete the Jawa.
• Have Han or Leia ever seen Luke use telekinesis before now? Do they believe it was Luke levitating C-3PO or did they think he could do it by himself?
• Shout-out to Jordan White.
• C-3PO's volume knob must be broken.
• Robot jets in this and other (purely theoretical, of course) movies.
• Artoo's reaction to Threepio floating.
• Artoo falling down. Was this an accident in filmmaking?
• Crystal named her plant Salacious Crumb.
• Salacious Crumb as a Big Mouth Billy Bass.
• The soundtrack in isolation is terrifying. Other Star Wars soundtracks.
  • The big spoiler in the track list for Episode I.
• Crystal's thoughts on the Special Editions.
• What if C-3PO just kept on rising up and up like a balloon?
  • Listener Projects: make this!
• Thanks to Crystal for the week! Follow Crystal @thecrystalbeth on social media.
• Like SWM on Facebook and call 8-DAY-GREEDO.

Meta Minute

• 22:31 podcast episode length.
• Cold open: 8-DAY-GREEDO call. Ewoks might be more popular if we saw them as the ferocious beasts they really are.
• The domain http://ilovestarwars.com redirects to https://www.tatooinetoyland.com/.
• Jack Purvis was both the Chief Jawa and Teebo. Kenny Baker was Paploo.
• Collective false memories are surprisingly common, and have been dubbed the Mandela effect.

Quotes

• Pete: C-3PO is literally being held up as a god.
• Crystal He's [Artoo] got a good...round dome upon his... cylinder.
• Pete:...'Siri' combined with a Roomba. Alex and then Pete: And it can zap your Ewoks for you.
