Notes
Film
- Starts with General Organa opening her eyes, and ends with porgs roasting over an open fire.
- The "Carrie Poppins" scene.
- Leia flies through the hologram of Snoke's ship, foreshadowing the Holdo maneuver later.
Podcast
Carrie Poppins
- Is it more Mary Poppins, or more Superman?
- Discussion of the pose used while flying. Like ziplining maybe.
- Our reaction upon seeing this the first time: "Okay... what did I just see?"
- If you like this movie, this scene grows on you. Suzen personally does not care for this movie.
- We are affected by the baggage of knowing that Carrie had passed away.
- We want her to be treated with dignity. Is this scene dignified?
- Mentioned: "When Havoc Struck".
- Comparison between this and the Chewie death misdirection in Rise of Skywalker.
- We want Leia to have a badass moment.
Other notes
- This whole movie is visually stunning.
- Leia using Force powers. Compare with Yoda in Empire vs. in the Prequels.
- Leia is the first living person who Luke reaches out to on Cloud City.
- PZ-4CO is based on the Godzilla principle" of having a very long neck with the actor's neck inside the neck.
