Notes

Film

• Ben uses the Jedi mind trick on the Stormtroopers.
• The team stands on the edge of the cliff looking at Mos Eisley.
• Mos Eisley - "A wretched hive of scum and villiany" - Ben.
• The team drive in to Mos Eisley.
• This sequence was massively changed in the Special Edition of the film.

Podcast

• Luke's quick transition to The Force. Ben seduced Luke very quickly.
• Luke as a sucker or easy-mark.
• Ben not actually knowing anything and just tricking Luke the whole time.
• Ben should have reacted more strongly to Luke's line "I want to be like my father".
• The team stopping at Mos Eisley to use the toilet.
• Ben and Luke peeing off the cliff. Lush plants growing at the bottom of the cliff. The richest moisture farmer on Tatooine.
• Vaseline on the lens under the Lanspeeder. Rumour or truth?
• The original, sleepy Mos Eisley versus the Special Edition, bustling Mos Eisley.
• A list of changes to the Mos Eisley sequence in the Special Edition/s.
• Luke not having a Driver's License.
• Ben offering the droids for sale to the Stormtroopers; what would have happened if they bought them.
• The humming sound effect in the background of the mind trick scene.
• Tractor beams.
