Notes

Film

Starts with Yoda confirming that Luke needs to confront Vader.
Ends with Luke being petulant.

Podcast

  • Yoda totally ignores Luke's question about Vader being his father and then hides under the blanket.
  • Does Yoda know everything that happened on Cloud City? Yes, Ben the gossip told him the whole story.
  • The Force only gives you images and flashes of what may have happened. Its like weird de ja vu.
  • It sounds like Yoda says "Your father is..." and then leaves Luke, and the audience, hanging to find out.
  • Why was Vader telling Luke unexpected? And exactly what aspect of it was unexpected?
  • Anakin turning into Darth Vader in the prequels. Sorry Pete.
  • What Yoda and Ben were hoping would happen and whether they were going to tell Luke or not.
  • Yoda telling Luke about the old days.
  • Maybe Yoda just forgot all about Vader being Luke's father in his old age.
  • Minute 42:
    • In The Empire Strikes Back this is Luke arriving on Dagobah for the first time.
    • In A New Hope this is Luke saying that he wants to learn the ways of the Force and become a Jedi like his father.
    • The Force is always involved in minute 42. 42!
  • The EU theory that Yoda has been dead this whole time and this is just his Force ghost.
  • Mentioned: The Simpsons, Tupac and Biggie Smalls.
  • Force ghost levels and who / what can see Force ghosts.
  • Yoda as a poltergeist and R2 as a robot ghost.
  • The whole Star Wars saga being Greedo's or Han Solo's dying dream in the cantina - depending on who shot first and who actually died.
  • Han Solo's dreams within dreams - its like Inception with multiple divergent timelines. Various divergent timelines and story threads.
  • Chewbacca having a life debt to Jabba instead of Han Solo.
  • How is Luke still shocked when Yoda confirms that Vader is his father? There have been a LOT of clues up until this point.
  • Yoda and Ben continuing the ruse by saying that Vader was lying. Yoda declaring that he (ie Yoda) is actually Luke's father.
  • How many children does Yoda have? Yoda leaving his inheritance to Luke.
  • Where the children training to become Jedi in the prequels come from. The Jedi steal them as infants from all around the Galaxy.
  • What happens with Jedi children that don't have the Force.
  • What does the general population think of the Jedi? Are they beloved or seen as the police?
  • What Luke's policy will be on all of this when he takes over in Episode VII.
  • Support the Show.
