Summary

Luke is quite saddened at the sight of his friend’s departure.

Guests

Josh Flanagan

Notes

Film

  • Starts with Luke discovering that Han is leaving and being disappointed; ends with Luke being so disappointed that he leaves Han and walks away.

Podcast

  • Han's matching luggage full of space bucks. In the radio drama this isn't cash / space bucks; it is precious metals that the rebellion had stockpiled for repairs and other uses. This emphasizes that Han is all about the reward and not the cause.
  • Josh points out that there are a lot of clear but unsaid feelings in this minute. Han likes Luke and the cause but has a bounty on his head and is scared of being killed, so he certainly has his reasons for 'being a jerk' at this stage.
  • What finally changes Han's mind? Chewbacca's look after Luke walks away.
  • What would have happened if Luke did leave with Han? Wasn't going to happen - Luke was fully bought in at this point.
  • Maybe the suitcases are full of flash drives containing digital money; hard drives with information on how much money he's getting; dozens of 1.44 floppy disks; free AOL minutes.
  • Passive-aggressive, sarcastic, snarky, petulant Luke in this scene.
  • Han's self-conscious "May The Force be with you". Although he's making an effort to connect with, and support, Luke.
  • Chewbacca's nag-growl.
  • Other 'partners' that have ridden with Han and Luke. There was Bollux the droid.
  • This scene is a counterpoint to the other recent scene between Han and Luke in the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon - see SWM 96. It is also really important as the effect of the look and attitude that Luke gives Han ultimately saves the rebellion's attack. The bond formed in the previous scene informs the tension in this scene and the joy of Han's ultimate return. Alex sums it up with - Bro meets Bro; Bro loses Bro; Bro regains Bro.
  • Host guilt (time 10:12).
  • Leia's determined not to change her clothes; their her good luck charm. Plus Chewbacca must be really dirty and smelly at this point - or he licked himself clean at some stage.
  • Han and Chewbacca living together on the Falcon, plus Chewbacca coughing up hair-balls all the time.

Start at 13:20.

Meta Minute

  • 20:50 podcast episode length.
  • Episode 100! Also, there are now over 24 hours of podcast episodes. Congratulations to the hosts and listeners.
    • It was later revealed that the 24-hour mark was reached at minute 94.
  • Referenced:
  • The voice actor that dubs General Dodonna in the movie also played Dodonna in the radio drama. Variation to "You can cut that out" from Alex when he tells Pete to drop that fact into the previous podcast episode - SWM 99.
  • Han understands what Chewbacca is saying. Star Wars (ie episode 4) rule - Certain characters understand the different languages of certain other characters but they ALWAYS reply in their own language. This rule isn't necessarily adhered to in the later movies. Do all parties understand literally what is being said (ie word for word)?
  • Bossk eating Wookies and getting hair-balls as a result.

Quotes

  • Josh: ...feeling kinda honored; I'll be honest. Pete: You're in the hundred club.
  • Pete: If you've listened to all of these, you've listened to SWM for over a day of your life.
  • Alex: That's his father talking.
  • Alex: In regards to Han "You could say that he's the hero of the rebellion in a way" Josh: "he would be if it wasn't for Wedge Antilles" (see SWM 98).
  • Josh: In relation to Bossk eating Wookies "I eat chicken but I don't get feathers" Pete: "That's because you're not doing it right."
