Film

Podcast

• The opening shot parallels the opening shot of Star Wars. The opening shots of the Prequels don't follow this approach.
• Pete is still on-board with this movie at this point - it is very familiar.
• The Imperial Shuttle emerges from a secondary docking point. The TIE fighters emerge from the regular or main docking bay.
• How TIE fighters are stored when they are not flying.
• Darth Vader is not on the Execucisor. He's just on a regular Star Destroyer.
• This is the first minute in the movie with stuff going on.
• It starts with imperial officers - this movie is made for Pete.
• The two shuttle pilots - Yorr and Jenden - and the actors that played them.
• Yorr was supposed to have more lines but kept messing them up so they were just cut from the movie.
• Yorr and Jenden are talking to Officer Endicott. Endicott is played by a British actor that was 002 in the Bond movie "The Living Daylights".
• The characters are wearing standard Imperial uniforms although there are costume discrepancies between their ranks and insignia.
• Costume designers in the Original Trilogy.
• The shuttle is a new design, although it was added back to the prior movies in the special editions.
• Other spaceships in the Original Trilogy.
• The hosts like the design of the Imperial Shuttle and it looks very "80s".
• 321 is very close to the famous Star Wars number 327.
• Does ST stand for Star Trek?
• There is a lot of scaffolding around the new Death Star. The hosts think that it should have been even more under construction.
• There are glimpses of bright red elements in the new Death Star.
