Notes
Film
- Starts with the ewok battle/party trumpets, and ends with a peaceful scene of campfires around Endor.
- Anakin's funeral pyre.
- This entire scene was a much later pick-up shot.
Podcast

ewok-neutralpro-ewok. He was a prime age for ewoks when the movie came out.- We're finally in a streak of pro-ewok people.
- Chopping wood with a lightsaber.
- The theory that trees on Endor are highly flammable/explosive.
- Pyre or ewok barbecue?
- Eat or be eaten: the Endor way
- Alex finally goes into the Ring Theory: This scene is supposed to parallel Qui-Gon's funeral.
- Other places we see fire in the series.
- Smoking in Star Wars. Mentioned: vape pens.
- This minute is very literate and reflective. We don't instantly know what Luke is thinking. Parallel to Luke staring at the twin suns?

Meta Minute
- 27:31 podcast episode length.
- Cold open: 8-DAY-GREEDO call. Why did the Rebels have fireworks ready to go at the end of the big battle? Where did those come from?
- Unsurprisingly, there is an article on {{{2}}} on Wookieepedia. It should please Pete to know that certain Y-wings were equipped with fireworks dispensers.

- We will see that helmet again. We also get to see chopping trees with lightsabers later on.

- In the short story The Levers of Power, it was revealed that the remainder of the Imperial fleet was ordered to evacuate upon the destruction of Death Star II[1].
Quotes
- Kevin: We get every boy's fantasy: killing his father.
- Pete: You have a funny definition of "first".
