Summary

Rose and Finn make a daring breakout of #DisneyJail accompanied by guest commentator Jordan White!

Guests

Jordan White

Notes

Film

  • Starts off with DJ saying "Thief? I can do it." Ends with them escaping their jail cell on Canto Bight, as promised.
    • His affected vocal tic is very apparent in this minute.

Podcast

  • Benicio del Toro's selected filmography.
  • Parallels between DJ and Lando. By assuming that he will turn out to be a good guy in the end you assume too much.
  • The word "boudoir".
    • Which Star Wars language is the equivalent to Earth French? Something that conveys a certain level of highfalutin snootiness. Mentioned: Diplospeak.
    • We can't help but imagine Snoke in his gold pajamas and slippers powdering his nose in his boudoir.
  • Callback to Dar Wac, Palpatine's harried Rodian assistant. Mentioned: enter The bureaucrats.
  • Could we see DJ again? Where?
  • The card he uses to pick his teeth and then the lock is a Zinbiddle card. Shout-out to previous guests of the show Ralph and Chrysanthe.
    • They play Zinbiddle at Canto Bight but not Sabacc. It's not considered posh enough (but see below).
      • How you actually play Sabacc, and where the Sabacc shift comes in.

Meta Minute

  • 25:38 podcast episode length.
  • According to Wookieepedia, there are a couple of variants of Sabacc that are played at Canto Bight. These include Centran sabacc and Empress Teta Preferred sabacc.
    • Frequently during their coverage of the James Bond films, Pete brought up his issue with the appearance of Texas Hold 'em poker in the Daniel Craig Casino Royale, and his opinion that Bond should be playing baccarat instead (as he did when he was first introduced in Dr. No).
      • There is an in-universe card game called "Bakurat", but it's more like Tarot than poker. But maybe that's what baccarat is like here on earth. Who can really say? Nobody actually knows the rules to baccarat do they?
      • There's also an article for Space Poker, but the game only appears in the Legends novel series "Star Wars Science Adventures".

Quotes

  • Alex: (as Emperor Palpatine) I'm spending a fortune on gold pajamas and waterbeds!
