Summary

Guests

Kevin Maher

Notes

Film

  • Starts with the ewok battle/party trumpets, and ends with a peaceful scene of campfires around Endor.
  • Anakin's funeral pyre.
  • This entire scene was a much later pick-up shot.

Podcast

  • Kevin is ewok-neutral pro-ewok. He was a prime age for ewoks when the movie came out.
    • We're finally in a streak of pro-ewok people.
  • Chopping wood with a lightsaber.
  • Pyre or ewok barbecue?
  • Eat or be eaten: the Endor way
  • Alex finally goes into the Ring Theory: This scene is supposed to parallel Qui-Gon's funeral.
    • Other places we see fire in the series.
    • Smoking in Star Wars. Mentioned: vape pens.
  • This minute is very literate and reflective. We don't instantly know what Luke is thinking. Parallel to Luke staring at the twin suns?
  • Luke is experiencing loss: of his father and his own darkness.
  • He put the helmet back on before burning Vader. Mentioned: Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, werewolves.
  • What happens to evil Force users when they die? Mentioned: Ender's Shadow.
  • The Death Star was destroyed, but what about the rest of the Imperial fleet? Did they give up as soon as the Emperor died? (See below). Mentioned: the Bakshi The Lord of the Rings, The Wizard of Oz.
  • Fireworks.
    • Did the Imperials also have fireworks ready to go if they won?
    • Mentioned: Mad Max: Fury Road.
  • The big Special Edition change.
    • Coruscant.
    • Everyone is celebrating across the galaxy. Parallels Flash Gordon (1980).
  • Kevin ranks the movies.
    • He was so burned by Episode I that he never saw Episode II.

Meta Minute

  • 27:31 podcast episode length.
  • Cold open: 8-DAY-GREEDO call. Why did the Rebels have fireworks ready to go at the end of the big battle? Where did those come from?
    • Unsurprisingly, there is an article on {{{2}}} on Wookieepedia. It should please Pete to know that certain Y-wings were equipped with fireworks dispensers.
  • This is Kevin's second time on the show. The first was during the "I Am Your Father's Day" live show.
  • We will see that helmet again. We also get to see chopping trees with lightsabers later on.
  • Golden Tony voiced Legolas in The Lord of the Rings (1978).
  • In the short story The Levers of Power, it was revealed that the remainder of the Imperial fleet was ordered to evacuate upon the destruction of Death Star II[1].
