Podcast

• Cold-open: 8-DAY-GREEDO call - the caller discusses Bantha poodoo versus Bantha fodder.
• How much does Yoda bench / lift?
• Thanks to Tony for joining the podcast for a week of dying Muppet.
• Tony loves the Muppets very much.
• Its always weird to see a Muppets legs. Yoda looks pretty good for an old dying Muppet.
• Luke holding and singing to Yoda.
• Where does Yoda get all his stuff from? Space Amazon?
• Yoda is even more confusing than normal when he's being poetic.
• Can Yoda decide when he's going to die? It must have something to do with Luke returning because the timing is too coincidental.
• Jedis dying just means that they move to the next level (ie Force ghost).
• Yoda just didn't want to die alone.
• Yoda finally revealing to Luke that he isn't actually Yoda and he was tricking him the whole time. He is actually just Yoda's butler.
• Yoda tells Luke that he has to confront Darth Vader again to become a Jedi. Does every Jedi have a personal challenge to overcome before becoming a Jedi? Also, what would happen to Luke if Darth Vader died in some other way?
• Yoda means "kill" when he says "confront".
• Could Luke just have gone straight for the Emperor instead?
• What Yoda is wearing around his neck. Maybe its his Life Alert bracelet / necklace.
• Does Yoda have pajamas to sleep in or does he just wear the robes? Jedis seem to only have one outfit that they wear for everything.
• Jedis as crazy old wizards.
• Yoda doesn't need more than one outfit given that he's living alone by himself in a swap. Are these the same robes that he was wearing in the prequels?
• The nature / status of Yoda and Yaddle's relationship.
• There's a quote that could be paraphrased irl from now on - when Yoda says "That is the way of things". Pete is going to say this every time he gets into bed - it will be a very deep cut.
• Luke is effectively tucking Yoda in to bed. Alex is going to organize for Mark Hamill to tuck Pete into bed at some point.
• Luke is very whiny in this minute as Yoda is trying to quietly die. Yoda should have got very annoyed at Luke.
• Did Luke reclaim his lamp from Yoda after he died? How long after Luke's last visit to Dagobah is this taking place? 3 months, 1 year, 3 years?
• Luke is already dressed in black for Yoda's passing.
• The orange firelight lighting in this sequence is unusual.
• Support the Show.
• Call 8-DAY-GREEDO and say what you like about Ewoks.
• Tony will be back tomorrow for more Yoda fun.
