Guests

Steele Saunders

Notes

Film

  • Glimpse of Zam's true face.

Podcast

  • Callback to a previous minute, and the line "My goodness you've grown.
  • Why does Zam's face change in this minute? Is it a break in her concentration?
    • Pete's theory is that she has body image issues, and is forced by society to change her face, so no one sees the real her.
  • What is Anakin actually trying to do with his lightsaber?
  • Anakin and Obi-Wan both showing off to impress the attractive (appearing) female Zam.
    • Human bias favors a pretty face.
  • Yet another reference to "We Didn't Start the Fire" by Billy Joel.
  • The fire started by Zam's blaster is quite gentle (bordering on romantic) and very unlike the exploding consoles in Star Trek.
    • Blaster sounds are taken from TIE fighters?
  • Are there other fires started by blasters in Star Wars? See below.
  • Discussion of Obi-Wan's skill in lightsaber-catching. Is he using the Force?
  • Mentioned: Yarael Poof
  • Amazingly, the Mongo Beefhead Tribesman is a thing.
  • Why do the alien costumes in the prequels fail to recapture the look of aliens in the Original Trilogy?
  • There is a marked difference between Anakin's and the Speeder's impact speeds.
  • It's a bad time for Coruscant fashion.
  • Easter Eggs in Star Wars movies.
  • Shoutout(?) to Ben Burtt

Meta Minute

  • 31:08 podcast episode length.
  • SWMLS member Hunter pointed out that in ROTJ, an AT-ST sets a fire using its blaster.
  • Zam Wesell is a Clawdite. They are a species of shapeshifting reptilian humanoids evolved from reptomammals, according to Wookieepedia. The reptile face we see in this minute is in fact her true form.
That changeling tuckus.


  • Pete and Alex appeared on episode 26 of Steele's podcast STEELE WARS.

Quotes

  • Alex: Zam Wesell's vessel.
  • Pete: When Jar Jar Binks gives you a look... It's like gasoline to the fire of disturbance.
  • Steele: It's Jedi hitchhiking at its very worst.
  • Steele: Does Greedo count? Pete: Always.
  • Pete: Calamari with a problem.
  • Steele: <to Alex> Spoken with the arrogance of someone who's never made pie.
  • Pete: Give me four dozen cantina aliens, twenty Greedos— Steele: And a large latte.
  • Steele: I'm a very disappointed Genie right now.
