Notes

Film

  • Starts with the fleet going into hyperspace and ends with Paploo mounting a speeder bike.
  • Another 'Yub nub'.
  • Leia is wearing a watch.
  • Another instance of Threepio being shut up by someone's hand.

Podcast

  • Telephone game/telephone sandwich.
  • Han speaks Ewok?
  • Tony doesn't mind the Ewoks, but was surprised when he first learned that some people hate them.
  • Referenced: Freedom Fries, "Hip Hop Hooray".
  • Referenced: "Cannonball" by The Breeders.
  • Han trying to break up with Leia.
  • Paploo
  • What Pete and Alex would cosplay as.
    • Ewok costumes.
  • The 501st but for Ewoks. An Ewok Army.
  • Threepio volume control.
  • Is she still 'Princess' Leia? Is she ever the queen?
  • What do the Stormtroopers think of the Ewoks? Are they like raccoons or bears?

Meta Minute

  • 22:43 podcast episode length.
  • Another call in the moisture vaporator series.
  • It just so happens we get a scene in TFA that establishes Leia's new title.
  • Threepio was present at the secret wedding of Anakin and Padmé on Naboo.
  • Although there is currently no established Ewok Army the way there is for the 501st, there is an Ewok Builders club. They team up with the 501st Legion at Star Wars events in the Seattle area, they just don't wear the costumes.

Quotes

  • Tony: It's the 'aloha' of Ewok.
  • Tony: Does he [Paploo] have a third leg? Pete: One would hope not.
  • Tony: (paraphrasing C-3PO) Naboo? I couldn't backpack.
