Summary
FN-2187 is reunited with Poe Dameron and guest commentator Jackie Kashian feels so good!
Guests
Notes
Film
- Starts with Finn waking up, and ends with Rey walking up.
Podcast
- Jackie is on Pandora!
- Finn's medical bubble. Mentioned: "What's 'updog'?"
- It's a {{{2}}}. Is this an advancement from the standard bacta tank? Or maybe Finn's insurance just didn't cover that.
- Wookieepedia refers to Finn as a "First Order deserter". Does this reveal First Order sympathies from the Wookieepedians? Or maybe an anti-Finn bias.
- There is no one to attend Finn when he wakes up (not even a droid), and when his tubes pull out the beeping doesn't change. You think he'd know better than to just wander around, but maybe he's delirious. Mentioned: Disorderlies (1987).
- Poe does the classic Bob newhart-shelley berman bit with BB-8.
- How does BB-8 communicate? Is it in complete sentences? Given that his primary purpose is fixing ships, probably not.
- Maybe he only communicates in ideas/concepts the way that we would now interpret Egyptian hieroglyphics (note: see below).
- Referenced: Bunny the Talking Dog on TikTok, Bow-Lingual.
- The roles and capabilities of BB-8 and Poe have evolved, probably due to fan response.
- How does BB-8 communicate? Is it in complete sentences? Given that his primary purpose is fixing ships, probably not.
- It's not like nobody knows or cares who he is. As a First Order deserter he has status; he's the guy.
- People should be stopping him to ask for his autograph.
- Teal BB unit.
Meta Minute
- 27:04 podcast episode length.
- Ancient Egyptian writing is complex and interesting and we went down a bit of a rabbit hole researching it. It turns out that Egyptian hieroglyphics are not purely an ideographic/logographic writing system (where symbols stand for ideas as opposed to representing sounds). It actually combined logographic, syllabic, and alphabetic elements.
- To see the phrase "Finn naked leaking bag" using hieroglyphs as logograms, see the following: File:Hieroglyphics.png.
- A classic example of a more logosyllabic writing system (where the character graphemes stand for morphemes) is the characters used in written Chinese.
Quotes
- Alex: Here's a corner call someone who cares.
