Notes

Film

  • Starts with Han Solo fixing the Millennium Falcon as they are being pursued by the Star Destroyers and ends with Han entering an asteroid field as a TIE-fighter blow ups after being hit by an asteroid.

Podcast

  • Han speaks technobabble regarding tools at the beginning of this minute.
  • Referenced: Star Trek.
  • Chewbacca places the tool box in a very unsafe spot - another SWM-Canon#Chewbacca.27s_Life_Debt attempt.
  • Gravity in the Star Wars universe.
  • This pursuit is a common scenario for Han and Chewie and they seem to have flown into an asteroid belt before as well.
  • Who's flying the Falcon at this stage? The script indicates that its Princess Leia.
  • They don't slow down in the asteroid belt.
  • In the Leigh Brackett draft script for the movie it is Chewie's idea to fly into the asteroid belt. Han then calls him "my hairy friend".
  • The odds are approx. 3,720 to 1 odds - C-3PO clearly calculates all the odds and blames them on R2-D2.
  • Random explosions when asteroids hit each other.
  • Favorite action-based musical score in the asteroid sequence.
  • Request to call 8-DAY-GREEDO to tell the hosts what the method is called to "make music sound like a ship on the ocean" as per this minute.

Meta Minute

  • 17:23 podcast episode length.
  • Cold-open: Ad-read - audible.com; starwarsminute.com/audible.
  • Actor cross-overs between the Star Wars movies and Superman and The Shining.
