Notes

Film

• Appearance of the "backdoor Kenobi".
• First "Vader" moment for Anakin.
• Actually effective use of a jet pack.
• Zam's dying words are in Huttese: "Murishani sleemo."[1]

Podcast

• Obi-Wan knew when to cut off Zam's hand because of the Ring theory.
• Zam seems like she's already dying, just from having her hand cut off.
• Referenced: Goodfellas.
• Zam's speeder toy talk.
• Anakin's "bad cop" voice is the same as his "love" voice. Was this supposed to be a creepy line delivery?
• What happened to Zam's severed hand / gun? After it was cut off, did it revert to her natural form?
• Referenced: The opening scene of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
• Why didn't Jango kill either (or both) of the Jedi, instead of Zam?

Meta Minute

• 33:38 podcast episode length.
• Obi-Wan cut off Ponda Baba's arm in minute 47 of Star Wars.
• According to Wookieepedia, it is very painful for Clawdites to change their appearance.
• Zam's speeder was a Koro-2 all-environment Exodrive airspeeder.

Quotes

• Steele: Yeah we [Australians] have all your sayings. We're very Americanized. We have your sayings, we have your Jimmy Smits. We have everything. Alex: Keep your hands off my Jimmy Smits.
• Pete: We're not shape-shifting frogs ourselves, so we don't– Alex: Well... Pete: At least, as far as I know.
• Alex: She's speaking Huttese? Is that the only language anyone speaks in this stupid galaxy?!
