Summary

Minute 4 of Star Wars: Rebels brace for battle and Stormtroopers board the Rebel blockade runner.

Guests

None.

Notes

Film

  • Minute starts with the Rebels preparing for battle and ends with said battle as Stormtroopers pour onto the blockade runner.
  • First appearance of Stormtroopers in film.

Podcast

  • Is it obvious that the Rebels are the good guys and our friends?
  • Perhaps the Rebellion is also evil.
  • The scratching sound on the outside of the blockade runner as it is captured by the Imperial Destroyer. It sounds like a large pet scratching at the door.
  • How the Stormtroopers board the blockade runner so quickly. Via a special transport TIE fighter? It was nice of the Stormtroopers to enter via a door though.
  • The role and importance of the Stormtroopers in the movies.
  • Are Stormtroopers humans or "robits" (sic - robots)?
  • Stormtrooper armor is a) ineffectual and b) poorly designed. Perhaps it works better in hand-to-hand combat than laser battle.
  • There were no Rebels in the original run of toys.
  • As a kid Alex always thought that one of the Rebels (the one that braces himself for the attack) was Princess Leia's father - just because.
  • Pete recalls the awkwardness of bringing a 12" Stormtrooper action figure to Hebrew nursery school.

Meta Minute

  • 8:40 podcast episode length.

Quotes

  • Pete: It's like the Borg, they just change the frequency a little bit. Alex: I don't know what this Borg are. Pete: It's a different podcast.
  • Alex: Scamp, No! No! Bad dog!
