Guests
Notes
Film
- Ion cannon fires.
- Imperial Walkers are sighted on the north ridge.
- The first transport is away.
- The Rebel right in the center of the frame looks really unsure about pumping his fist in the air.
Podcast
- How big is the ion cannon?
- Not that huge? Gigantic? The size of EPCOT Center?
- Rebel Transport ship is discussed.
- Action figure carrying case
- How big is it, and who is evacuating (in what order)?
- Ion gun technology in other ships and in the Prequels (Sorry Pete).
- Things we don't need to see: anti-gravity, time-travel
- Mentioned: Edit that out.
- Changes to the PA announcement, including Mark Hamill singing the line.
- How to properly refer to the Imperial Walkers.
Meta Minute
- 20:28 podcast episode length.
- This is Adam's second appearance on the podcast.
- EPCOT Center is now known simply as "Epcot", and it refers to the entire park. The giant geodesic dome (which actually does resemble the ion cannon quite a bit) is called Spaceship Earth, and it is 180 ft (54 m) tall.
- We learned that they use the metric system in Star Wars in minute 99.
- The Star Destroyer is called the Tyrant (see previous episode)
- The Devastator was actually the Star Destroyer that attacked the Tantive IV in the opening scene of Star Wars.
Quotes
- Alex: I think "Epcots" are the standard unit of measure for ion cannons.
- Pete: (to the tune of "Send in the Clowns) 🎵Send in the droids...🎵
- Pete: I'm glad that these weren't electric balls... Alex: I can't tell you how many times I've said that.
