Notes

Film

• J-type diplomatic barge.
• Theomet Danlé.
• Boraso? He was also in TPM, is it the same character?
• Natalie Portman is playing Cordé in this scene, which is strange.

Podcast

• 1950s 'Jet Age' aesthetic.
• Good filmmaking (show, don't tell) until they go and spoil it with pointless exposition.
  • Naboobian trait of unnecessarily stating the very obvious.
• Ring theory?: This minute is very similar to the opening of The Phantom Menace but there have been no obvious parallels to The Empire Strikes Back so far.

Referenced: Supermam II; what common threads are there that connect the actors?

• Referenced: the Japanese video game Zero Wing.
• Call out to Nathan Hamill.
• Naboo starfighters have no landing gear?
• Listener Projects: Death Star bowling balls.
• Pete shares a World Trade Center memory.

Meta Minute

• 25:57 podcast episode length.
• The "cloned Jedi" might be referring to one of a couple things:
  • A deleted scene where clone troopers disguised themselves as Jedi to ensnare survivors, or
  • X1 an evil force-sensitive clone trooper.
• Follow STAR WARS MINUTE on social media.

Quotes

• Alex: "Lacks citations", as they say.
• Pete: He's a really low-grade Wedge.
• Pete: (as Ric Olié, during the post-credits sting) I was not in this motion picture.
• Pete: In my experience, there's no such thing as magnets.
