Notes

Film

  • This minute starts with the burning dreadnought falling into D'Qar's atmosphere and ends with a startled Finn waking up in his medical bubble.

Podcast

  • Join Jackie's email list to find out how to attend her virtual comedy shows; it's easier to get off than it is to get on it. Good luck!
  • The name "Dreadnought" sounds like a reggae band that does covers of metal songs.
  • Hux is Jackie's favorite bad guy, he's so funny.
    • As he has previously stated, it took Pete a bit to get on board, but now he thinks Hux is over-the-top in a good way.
    • They didn't get real twins to play the Weasley twins in Harry Potter.
    • Pete likes to avoid seeing Star Wars actors in other movies before he sees them in Star Wars (Woody Harrelson is an exception), but it turns out he had seen Domhnall Gleeson in a bunch of stuff and hadn't realized it.
    • Hux's reaction to the Resistance escaping is very similar to Piett reacting to the Millennium Falcon jumping to hyperspace. Gleeson's acting choices are great in this scene.
  • The projector that Snoke uses to appear as a giant head is probably normally used for maps and navigation/PowerPoint presentations, but Snoke commandeered it.
    • The trope in Star Wars movies and shows where they all stand around a map and plan out what their next move is going to be.
    • Alex was surprised to see Snoke literally mopping the floor with Hux's face. Hux deserves to get yelled at because, after the dreadnought is destroyed, there are still like six other star destroyers not doing anything.
  • The smugness of the Empire / First Order.
  • Armitage Hux's First Order Monitor from earlier
    • The bad guys having British accents and the good guys having American accents, by and large.
  • Were The Last Jedi a musical, "We've Got Them Tied on the End of a String" would be a recurring musical theme.

Meta Minute

  • 25:44 podcast episode length.

Quotes

  • Pete: When in doubt, go metal.
  • Jackie: (re: Hux) …just a complete and utter tool bag.
  • Pete: Hux hubris.
  • Jackie: (in sloppy American accent) Hey ya bunch of mutts, you can't keep us down.
