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.
- Beautiful crane shot (some of the most difficult to get) are dramatic, but melodramatic.
- Han's "Uh-oh, what do I do now?" moment.
- "I thought they smelled bad on the outside"
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.
- Shout-out 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?
- Luke rises quite quickly through the Jedi ranks (catching Han off-guard when he comes out of carbonite).
- Does it count though, since there is no more Jedi Council? It would be like calling yourself a bishop when there was no longer a church.
- Luke on the witness stand - how long have you been a Jedi? Note: this is one of the best parts of this whole week.
- Expanded universe backstory of how Han learned the "cut open a Tauntaun" trick.
- SWM Quotes: From time to time and Deck Officer.
- Mentioned: Raise your right hand.
Meta Minute
- 22:07 podcast episode length.
- Callback to minute 12.
- Alex references a discussion from minute 59 of Star Wars.
- Josh is not the only one to refer to Han as a Libertarian: Jackie Kashian also brought this up in minute 9
- Very awkward show close.
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?
- Pete: Send a P.A. out to get some gibblets.
- Josh: (As Han's rich step-father) If you're cold, you... you can get in the dog. Pete: I can kill a dog for you if you want. Just cut him right open. Josh: You need something bigger? I got a bear around here somewhere. Hang on. Nah no, no need to turn the thermostat up.
