Notes

Podcast

• Alex always assumed that Luke had been to Dagobah before, and that this would be revealed in the prequels, since the place was like something from a dream.
  • But maybe it's dream-like because he grew up in a desert and the swamp has so much water.
• Referenced: Stillsuits from Dune, Inspector Gadget
• Referenced: Gremlins, Bob Clampett, Stand by Me (1986)
• Other potential Movies by Minutes: Ghostbusters, Back to the Future.

Meta Minute

• 28:15 podcast episode length.
• Elliott takes a day off from belittling Dan, after all it is casual Friday.
• First time the Executor is referred by its proper name, the Execucizor.

Quotes

• Elliott: (as Vader) "This way I don't have to take the 'work' out of my workout."
• Dan: But I like how he [R2] vomits up blood...
• Elliott: ...if anybody listening to this has ever played a role-playing game. What are the odds? Probably not.
