Pete and Alex wrap up the Original Trilogy

Hosts only

No one else named Peter.
George Walton Lucas facts.
- Only directed a handful of movies (22-year hiatus between Star Wars and The Phantom Menace).
- Instead of asking for more money for directing Star Wars, he got a cut of the merchandise sales.
- What else you could get $4.05 billion (the purchase price of Lucasfilm).
- Thank you to George Lucas for making all of this possible. Referenced: "Welcome Back" (song by John Sebastian).

Thanks to Kristen and Ella (the Star Wars Minute success) for support, collaboration, and for being guests.
Thanks to Baby The Retailer, and to Dan and Ruthie (Pete's in-laws) for being some of their earliest and biggest supporters.
Thank you to http://LessAccounting.com for being the first ever sponsor of the show.
Thanks to Dan Whitley.
Thanks to Pete's mom and Alex's dad for taking them to see Star Wars in the first place.
Thank you to all the supporters on Patreon.
Thanks to all the guests.

Thanks to all the listeners!
The Phantom Menace Minute will begin in January, but the guys will back for a couple hiatus episodes.
Thank you to Pete for producing and editing the show, and for conceiving the minute-by-minute format.

17:15 podcast episode length.
The name of this episode is a reference to Douglas Adam's So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish.
- It is one of only a handful of episodes where the title was not taken from a quote from the show itself.
Cold open: 8-DAY-GREEDO call from Chris Radtke. One last ditch attempt to get the guys to not do the Prequels.
Here Alex reveals that he's never listened to an episode of the show.
This episode does not use the normal closing theme for the ROTJ season; it uses a version of the Ewok Celebration song.
