The original group of adventurers watch from the sidelines. Only Luke seems distracted, alone in their midsts, his thoughts elsewhere.
Guests
Notes
Film
- Starts with Luke
relieving himselflooking relieved out into the woods, and ends a minute later with the credits for our three stars. - Last minute of actual content.
- Two new Force ghosts.
Podcast
The Force Ghosts
- Despite being a ghost, Yoda must sit on a pole so he's visible in the shot.
- Major differences from a really early draft (shout-out to Leigh Brackett).
- Alex's celebrated Obi-Wan voice.
- Referenced: Dancing the Hambone, the ending to Michael Jackson's "Thriller".
- This is the most controversial minute in ROTJ. This is the "Han shot first" moment.
- Force ghosts appear as you were when you died. Mentioned: From a certain point of view.
- Anakin Skywalker's deathbed conversion.
- Force ghosts appear as you were when you died. Mentioned: From a certain point of view.
- What if these weren't Force ghosts but simply garden variety ghosts?
- Force ghost facts.

Other Force ghost notes

Meta Minute
- 40:48 podcast episode length.
- This is the first (but not the last) time we see Yoda as a Force Ghost.
- The name "Ewok" was based on the word "Wookiee" (as was previously discussed), but George Lucas was also inspired by the name of the Miwok people who are native to Northern California, near to were the scenes on Endor where shot.
- Alex writes a page of notes for each minute they cover, but this is the first minute since they've been doing the show where his notes spilled over onto a second page.
Quotes
- Pete: They're e-wiggidy-wiggidy-wack.
- Alex: We've been doing this show for how many years now, 25 years?
