Guests
Notes
Film
- Glimpse of Zam's true face.
Podcast
- Callback to minute 9, 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.
- Droid extra features and upgrades.
- Discussion of Obi-Wan's skill in lightsaber-catching. Is he using the Force?
- Mentioned: Yarael Poof
- Referenced: Staring at the French horn.
- 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

- SWMLS member Hunter pointed out that in ROTJ, an AT-ST sets a fire using its blaster.
- Speaking of Easter Eggs, here's a link to a video which shows the X-Wing and TIE fighters that Steele mentioned.
