Vader stops and senses something. Luke shuts his eyes tightly, in anguish.

Starts out with Darth Vader looking for Luke under the stage and ends with Darth Vader musing about Luke's sister...sister.
Half of Luke's face is lit with blue light. Heavy-handed symbolism?

Saying "sister" as Darth Vader.
How long could Luke have hidden for? Mentioned: Die Hard, Ocean's Eleven.
The interactive display/mall directory under the Emperor's stairs.
How can Vader not see Luke? He must not have any kind of night vision.
Anakin probably hasn't had any friends since Tatooine (if ever). A pity.
Vader using the Force and misreading Luke's thoughts.
- Or he's doing a cold reading.
When did Vader learn that A) Luke existed and B) that he was his son?
- No-prize answer. Mentioned: Peet N'Alex, Marie Skywalker.
- Vader never senses the Force or any familial relationship in Leia.
- Lucas made Luke and Leia brother and sister to give him a reason to freak out.
Obi-Wan's failures.
- Anakin is obsessed with Obi-Wan and blames him for everything.
What the Emperor is doing during all this.
Meredith hates Luke in this movie; she prefers him in Star Wars.
- His emotionless overconfidence bugs her.
Referenced: Billy Ocean.

27:17 podcast episode length.
Cold open: 8-DAY-GREEDO call in response to a request in minute 92. Luke's Darth name.
- Mentioned: Wormie Skywalker.

When you try not to think about something (like a white horse, for example) and it ends up that's the only thing you can think of, it's called ironic rebound.

Meredith: The doodads. Next to the whatchamacallits.
Alex: "Malls" were these kind of indoor shopping ceters; it's like Amazon but all spread out.
Pete: (Vader attempting to make polite conversation) I don't like sand...people.
Alex: "Happy Father's day, Dad. I'm in jail!"
Meredith: Here here! I think it's arty as [F-wing]. I love it.
