June 21th, 2021

Guest commentator Kelly Anneken joins Finn & Rose as they are forced to kneel before Hux!

Starts with Gen. Leia explaining to Poe that Holdo was more interested in protecting the light than seeming like a hero. Ends with Phasma revealing "your ship and payment, as we've agreed."
Another "godspeed, Rebels".

Kelly's weirdly prophetic websites.
Referenced: Cruella (2021).
Make Kelly a Phasma costume.
Holdo is the Dick Cheney of the Rebellion.
Mentioned: Billie Piper, Roddy Piper.
In case you forgot: the binary beacon. Symbolic passing of the light?
- Other than being extremely handsome, he's done nothing to earn it.
Everyone's given up on calling them "the Resistance" and they're just going with "Rebels".
Referenced: Pete killed Tom Petty.
Holdo pauses oddly when saying her sign-off, almost like she was trying and failing to remember everyone's names.
Rose and Finn look so confused by what is happening right now and why.
- They brought everyone to the public execution, even though only the people who are in the front can see anything. They probably weren't even invited. Or they're there for their production of "RENT".
Hat note: some First Order officers have their flaps up, some have flaps down.

29:53 podcast episode length.
This episode was recorded during the height of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Kelly is referring to the fact that it's quite the coincidence that her plan to take it easy in 2020 ended up coming to fruition more than she could have imagined as the entire world entered lockdown.
Kelly's backdrop is the the Theed Royal palace as depicted in Star Wars Battlefront II.
Pete really did buy phasmaforkelly.net.
Not to worry, Pete, Queen Elizabeth II would survive the TLJ season, passing away September 8th, 2022 (during the Solo–TROS hiatus), so the statute of jinx limitations had most likely passed by that point.

Kelly: (ironically) What am I, made of time? What am I, confined to my home for an indeterminate period of time due to a Global Pandemic?
Kelly: [Snoke is] a really crackin' fashion designer. Alex: Yes, [he] designs for krakens.
Alex: phasmaforkelly.net. Pete: Hang on, let me get my wallet.
Kelly: Rowdy Roddy Piper's kilt is dead? Pete: It got kilt [killed]. Sorry. Alex: Oh boy. Star Wars Minute!
Pete: Space Quebecers, that's where it's at.
Pete: On behalf of Alex Robinson I'd like to apologize to the province of Quebec.
