Summary
Obi-Wan sees the droid outside the window and races straight at it, crashing through the blinds as he goes through the window.
Guests
Notes
Film
- Starts with Obi-Wan observing that Palpatine is very clever, ends with Anakin looking for Obi-Wan in the skyways of Coruscant.
- Start of the first real action sequence of the movie.
- First demonstration of Anakin's superior Force skills.
- New Padmé outfit: Pajamas.
Podcast
- Imagine what this scene must have been like from Padmé's point of view. This kid she knew for like a week ten years ago wakes her up by jumping onto her bed swinging a lightsaber.
- Then his friend jumps out the window.
- Did Obi-Wan also sense the bugs, or was he just playing along?
- It's surprising (and very out of character) for Obi-Wan to jump out the window.
- It seems like the reverse (Anakin should be more impulsive and Obi-Wan more conservative) should have happened.
- Maybe he wanted to impress Padmé, or he's just sick of hearing Anakin talk.
- What exactly is Obi-Wan's plan here? This is the "feel, don't think" that Qui-Gon was talking about.
- This is the first exciting spontaneous moment in the Prequels. It feels more like the Original Trilogy.
- It seems like the reverse (Anakin should be more impulsive and Obi-Wan more conservative) should have happened.
- Low budget R2.
- In the script, Padmé covers herself in response to seeing Anakin.
- Where was Typho? I thought he was downstairs.
- The ASN courier droid has remarkably good levitation considering it probably wasn't designed to have somebody jump on it and hang on.
- But if it's been programmed for assassination, why does it then fly back to Zam?
- Anakin backs the speeder up really fast.
- Things we'd like to see: cut to the owner of the speeder berating the poor valet who lost a car on his first day.
- Do Jedi have the right of eminent domain?
- Referenced: Jack Bauer from "24"
- What temperature is it? Warm?
- Referenced: What does it smell like?
- Do the hosts plan to keep doing the podcast ad infinitum?
- At the very least, they will complete the Prequel Trilogy.
- They'd also like to cover TFA, or at least they haven't discussed not doing it.
- If they keep making one Star Wars film per year, then they should be able to keep up, but not if they start releasing two in a year.
Meta Minute
- 25:45 podcast episode length.
- Anakin stole that speeder. We know this from the dialog in an upcoming minute.
- The Coruscant system is, at minimum, comprised of Coruscant and its sun (referred to as simply "Coruscant's sun"). Wookieepedia describes it as a "tiny star" which was fairly far from Coruscant.
- Average distance is 229 million km (142 million mi or 1.53 au). Earth, by contrast, averages about 150 million km (93 million mi or 1 au) from its fairly medium-sized sun.
- SO, Coruscant should be freezing cold, unless:
- A) There is a runaway greenhouse effect like we see on Venus, or
- B) The planet's core is extremely radioactive, generating heat through radioactive decay (this occurs in Earth, and explains why the Earth has managed to stay warm for 4.54 billion years[1], rather than the 20-40 million calculated by Lord Kelvin), or finally
- C) Because the climate of Coruscant is artificially maintained (see Pete's furnace theory). Wookieepedia describes the climate as "temperate (artificial)".
- Although Pete mentioned it offhand, Jim and Mark (of Airport Minute) announced they will be doing a 007 Minute podcast starting November, 2017.
Quotes
- Pete: (misquoting Back to the Future) Where we're going, we don't need streets. Kenji: Roads. Pete: We don't need those either.
- Pete: (à la Ric Olié) The whole planet is one big pit barbecue.
- Pete: Only a Jedi could defenestrate that quickly.
