Notes

Film

  • End of the rebel briefing
  • First shot of Luke in his flight suit

Podcast

  • Luke is in his filthy bathrobe during the whole briefing. It must still smell
  • Discussion of womp rats
    • Maybe Luke doesn't know what a "meter" is
    • Bigger than 2 meters? Womp rats must be huge.
    • Would it actually be that hard to hit a 2 meter-wide target?
  • The 'gravity' of the situation
    • Maybe there wasn't supposed to be artificial gravity and that's why there are all those bottomless pits.
  • Call for science help from Ryan Haupt

Meta Minute

  • 18:32 podcast episode length.
  • Josh closes the show during his introduction
  • Referenced: Han's comment about parsecs from minute 48
  • The force of gravity at the Death Star (assuming no artificial sources of gravity) would be almost nil. Using the formula g = G x m / r^2, where g is the surface gravity (in m/s^2), G is the gravitational constant (6.674 E−11 N x m^2/kg^2) and r is the radius (in m), we can calculate that, even if the Death Star were a solid sphere 120 km wide (see minute 56) made of Osmium (density of 22,570 kg/m^3) you would only weigh 4% of your weight on Earth. If it were as dense as the moon, you would weigh a mere 1% of your earthly weight.

Quotes

  • Josh: Womp rats are terrifying!
  • Alex: If someone told me, "Two meters isn't that big. I used to... I used to hunt rhinoceroses from my helicopter." I wouldn't be like "wow you must be a great shot." It's a rhinoceros. How could you not hit a rhinoceros?!
  • Pete: (as hick farmboy Luke) "I used to shoot animals."
  • Alex: (in a different, hillbilly voice) "I used ta shoot 'possum with ma boomstick! In the back of my pickup truck"
