Notes

Film

• Starts with Artoo and Threepio fussily making their way to the bunker, and ends <dramatic pause> with a dead ewok.
• This is the only direct interaction between Han and Artoo in the Trilogy.
• Anthony Daniels had already gone home by the time they filmed this scene, so this is one of only two times in the Trilogy (both in this movie) when it's somebody else in the C-3PO suit.

Podcast

• People being into both sports AND Star Wars.
• How people in Star Wars relate to robots. Won't someone think of the droids?!
• The gadgets and tools that are present (and those that are missing) within Artoo's open panels.
  • Referenced: The "Full Monty", "Dr. Who".
• Adult themes in the Original Trilogy (intentional or otherwise).

Meta Minute

• 48:11 podcast episode length.
• When this episode first aired, it became the longest episode, surpassing yesterday's by a good three minutes. This episode held the title of longest episode until the crown was taken back by Chris Radtke in minute 85 of TPM.
