Summary

Guests
Notes
Film
- Starts with [trailer line] Luke telling Rey this is not going to go the way she thinks, and ends with Luke strolling around Ahch-To after he watches the Falcon disappear into the sky.
Podcast
- Tony has been doing nothing but podcasts for the last year+, but he loves the show so much that he agreed to be here.
- What did Luke think that Rey thought about how this was going to go, and was he correct?
- Everybody told Luke to give up on his father, but he still ended up being redeemed. Contrast this with old man Luke who has lost all his idealism.
- Trailers impact what we perceive as the 'iconic moments' of the film. Mentioned: The Phantom Menace trailer, Ira Bell.
Meta Minute
- 28:26 podcast episode length.
- Although Tony had not yet snagged the naming rights to the guest lounge as of this season, he will hold that honor next season.
- At the time of this recording, Tony has done three closing themes for the regular show as well as Chris Radtke's theme. For more info, see SWM Music.
