Notes

Film

• Starts with Leia asking C-3PO what is Wicket saying; ends with the ships jumping to lightspeed.
• All the "-wings".
• First time we see the Falcon flying in this movie.

Podcast

• C-3PO acting as a translator. There should be no need for Leia to ask what is being said.
• Listener Projects: Make a 20-minute music video of Yak Face with Yakety Sax.
• Alien languages in the Original Trilogy vs. foreign accents in the Prequels.
  • Characters being spoken to in an alien language, but then replying in English.
• Nien Nunb
  • Smuggler from Sullust.
  • Spice Mines of Kessel.
  • Speaks Sullustese.
    • Unaltered Tanzanian Haya dialog, which was understood by audiences in neighboring Kenya.
  • How to pronounce his name.
    • Nien Nunb vs. Ten Numb.
• Other listener project: edit in party horns for Admiral Ackbar's mark.
• Ackbar's chair
• Rudy Vallee and megaphone crooning

Tony's mom sent away for the Nien Nunb figure.
Tony went through a brief phase where he got rid of all his Star Wars toys and has since had to re-acquire them. He bought some here at SW Celebration.
There was only one survivor of the toy  purge: his Luke Skywalker Stormtrooper Disguise figure.
Tony was 5, the perfect age, when this came out, so he doesn't hate the Ewoks.

• Star Wars Minute: Weekend Edition.

Meta Minute

• The Mon Calamari live in water, and are amphibious.

Quotes

• Pete: I thought you said 20 minutes of "Yakety Sax".
