  • Starts with Slave I landing in Geonosis, and ends with Obi-Wan also landing on Geonosis.
  • Only two lines of dialog.

Podcast

  • Mentioned: Ring Theory.
  • How Slave I works compared to how the toy works. Do the Fetts have to lie on their backs when the ship takes off and lands?
  • People just leave their ships wherever. Don't they get stolen? What happens to the heroes' ships at the end of the movie.
  • Why must we gender all the droids?
  • Geonosis facts.
    • 15 moons.
    • 5% surface water
    • 256 day year
    • 100,000,000,000 inhabitants (99% Geonosian, 1% other).
    • Lucas modeled Geonosians after termites as a metaphor for how the Republic was being destroyed from within.
  • A previous draft had the Trade Federation ships hiding in the planet's rings.
  • Spaceballs.
  • Meredith has issues with Obi-Wan's headgear.
    • Things that totally take you out of the movie.

  • Alex misspoke. The planet in question that may have later evolved into Geonosis was named {{{2}}}.
  • Alex referenced Bernie Sanders, who was one of the Democratic candidates during the US 2016 presidential election. One of the cornerstones of his political platform was combating wealth inequality.
    • Bernie Sanders was also referenced in AotC 49.
  • The Federation ships can link up with the cargo rings we saw in TPM, but we do not see the linking up in any of the films.
