Summary
Han ignites Luke’s saber and cuts the beast from head to toe. He quickly tosses its steaming innards into the snow, then lifts Luke’s inert form and stuffs him inside the carcass.
Guests
Notes
Film
- Han uses Luke's lightsaber.
- The sound effect of cutting open the Tauntaun is neat. Combination of liquid nitrogen freezing things and mud slopping around on wet pavement.
Podcast
- Tauntaun toy talk
- Is the belly-slice Tauntaun toy OK for children? It probably would not be made today.
- Does Han actually stuff Luke in that Tauntaun?
- If he did, did he actually need to? How long would it take to build that shelter (and what kind of shelter was it)?
- Referenced:: The "Mythbusters" Star Wars Special. The Mythbusters tested this scene, and found that the Tauntaun body heat would have kept Luke alive.
- Mentioned: The Jetsons
- This scene establishes that anybody can just pick up a lightsaber and use it.
- Callback to C-3PO messing around with the lightsaber (from the Brackett draft), mentioned yesterday.
- Shoutout to Ben Burtt
- Calling him Ben vs. Obi-Wan
- Han used to think the force was a bunch of simple tricks and nonsense. What does he think of it (and Luke's belief in it) now?
Meta Minute
- 22:07 podcast episode length.
- Callback to minute 12
- Alex references a discussion from minute 59 of Star Wars
Quotes
- Josh: And I'm Josh Flanagan, and I smell better on both the inside and outside. Pete: Wait, better than what? Josh: Better... than, than yesterday.
- Josh: (referring to Tauntauns) "...they all die, so what does it matter? Alex: What does any of it matter?
- Alex: It's bad enough we made him [Han] a Creationist, now he has to be a climate change denier too?
