Notes

Film

  • Starts with Chewbacca and two ewoks swinging on a vine to assault an AT-ST, and ends with Chewie and the ewoks blasting away, murdering some folks.
  • The [in]famous "Tarzan yell".
  • Chewie butt.
  • AT-ST pilots Lt. {{{2}}} and Maj. {{{2}}}

Podcast

  • Callback to the SWM Wives episode.
  • The hosts have been pretty negative about this movie; the guests feel differently.
  • Extratextural references.
  • Rare instance of safety gear.
  • Delicious behind the scenes info. Poetic justice/irony.
  • Long Island inside jokes.
  • How technologically advanced are the Ewoks? Lucas changed them from Wookiees because they had already been depicted as too sophisticated.
    • Who is driving/shooting.
  • Can Chewie and the Ewoks communicate? Are {{{2}}} and {{{2}}} mutually intelligible?
  • What the scout walkers are/should be called.

Meta Minute

  • 22:16 podcast episode length.
  • Cold open: two 8-DAY-GREEDO calls. Both callers are not fans of Chewbacca's Tarzan yell, which is something that is clearly from our world and took them out of the movie.
  • Ella misspoke. Pan's Labyrinth is set in the the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War.

Quotes

  • Kristen and then DTR: <Tarzan yell>.
