Notes
Film
- Starts with the Naboobian ships landing on the platform, and ends with Cordé's body (Corpsé) also on the platform.
- R2 is ejected/born from the Naboo Starfighter.
- R2 "applause shot".
- First appearance of Captain Typho - first new character for the film.
- An astromech droid is also killed in the explosion.
- Our old friend the klaxon
- First heard in minute 105 of Star Wars (and famously in minute 38 of Empire).
- Senator Amidala is played by three different people in the first four minutes of the film.
- Natalie Portman, a stunt performer, and Veromica Segura as Cordé.
- Padmé is the only Naboo pilot to wear a face mask.
- First of 16 costumes for Natalie Portman. (vs. 10 for TPM).
- Naboo pilot disguise.
Podcast
- R2 definitely doesn't fit in the N-1 starfighter; he must be "Poofin' it".
- But even this wouldn't work; he should be "Yaddleing" it.
- Naboo engineering.
- Form over function - it has an astro ejector but no landing gear.
- Like the iPhone 7 (still fairly new at the time of this recording) which was controversial because it did not have a headphone jack[1].
- Form over function - it has an astro ejector but no landing gear.
- No running lights on the airspeeders. Are they self-driving?
- Bustling city traffic: parallel to Cloud City in the Special Edition of The Empire Strikes Back - Ring theory?
- What's the deal with Captain Typho (Seinfeld reference)?
- NOT Captain Panaka, but his nephew.
- Hugh Quarshie refused to return as Panaka unless he got to read the full script first.
- Aside from the eyepatch, we know Typho is a different character from his uncle because he's immediately positive, rather than pessimistic, until he is instantly proven wrong.
- His first name is Gregar.
- Played by Jay Laga'aia, a well-known actor and children's show host in Australia.
- NOT Captain Panaka, but his nephew.
- Mentioned: Decoy (Nemoidian accent).
- Who is responsible for the assassination attempt? Follow the money: Zam<=Jango<=Dooku<=Sheev.
- But what did Sheev know and when did he know it?
- The problem of falling debris on Coruscant.
- Referenced: the Joanie Mitchell song "Big Yellow Taxi".
- Why does she still have handmaidens? Is it like how ex-presidents have Secret Service protection.
Meta Minute
- 31:37 podcast episode length.
- Alex made up R7-D9, however there is an R7-D4, who belonged to Master Plo Koon.
- A New Zealander listener heard Alex and Pete struggle to pronounce some of the actors' names and called into the show to help out (thanks!)
- Alex shares a Abraham Lincoln history factoid.
Quotes
- Alex: Script?! Pete: And George was like, "Just a minute! I have it! Hang on, it was in here somewhere... have you seen my notebook?"
- Pete: Watch some of Attack of the Clones. I'm not gonna say you have to watch all of it because I wouldn't do that to anybody.
- Pete: He's [Typho is] a poor man's Panaka.
- Pete: Aggh! Uncle Panaka was right!
- Pete: You distracted me with Rodians.
- Pete: SEGURA!
