Notes
- Starts with C-3PO trying to wipe the nervous expression off his face, and ends with Tallie telling the fighters to protect the bombers.
- No Y-wings in this sequence.
Podcast
- "Dot fun" is a real thing.
- Is this the moment that C-3PO has had enough of the abuse? When's he gonna snap?
- BB-8's technique for fixing the ship and his multi-articulated spindly arm.
- It's his version of slapping the Millennium Falcon's dashboard. Referenced: V.I.N.CENT. from The Black Hole (1979), a "reverse turtle" (Poofin' it).
- Poe blows something up and then flies through the explosion with no ill effects.
- Poe's skidding U-turn. It would be impossible in either an atmosphere or in space.
- Maybe the dreadnought has its own gravity? That still wouldn't help explain the skidding turn.
- There's a full-scale rejection of any kind of reality in these movies. They don't even have the fake comic book science we see in Marvel.
- Tallissan "Tallie" Lintra.
- Mentioned: "Fonzie-ing it". Referenced: BB-8's thumb's up/middle finger.
- From Pippip 3 ("Pip pip tally ho!")
- Blue leader.
- Since they didn't know a dreadnought would be showing up, what was the original plan with the bombers?
- The design of the bombers is great. They're a new design, but harken back to other Star Wars. Form indicates function.
- But they suck at their job. The MG-100 "Sitting Duck" Star Fortress.
- How they came up with the name "Fulminatrix".
- But they suck at their job. The MG-100 "Sitting Duck" Star Fortress.
- Someone do a Star Wars "We didn't start the fire". Each verse could be a movie (either in release order or chronological order).
- First Order office with the periscope: {{{2}}}. Referenced: Periscope.
- Canady is over this – it's another day at the office.
- Y-wings in the OT and the sequel trilogy. They're like classic cars.
