- Ends with Admiral Piett about to clear the shuttle.
Podcast
- Doug has managed to plug 5 different projects on 5 different days.
- What is the energy shield and how does it work? Does it protect the whole moon / planet.
- Admiral Piett wasn't going to be in the movie but then Lucas and the actor agreed that he should be. Lucas then wrote Piett's dialogue on the set during filming.
- It was good to see Piett again.
- Has no one in the Empire ever heard Han Solo speak in his normal voice? Surely Darth Vader has back on Cloud City.
- Maybe Darth Vader realizes that it is Han and Luke and just lets them go as part of the bigger plan.
- The shuttle crew need to be careful to ensure that they don't leave the mic open to the Empire when they are just chatting.
- The quality of the "fly casual" line and delivery. The line was definitely dubbed, as was 80% of the dialogue in the movie due to noise on the set.
- Comical sound effects added to a "musicless" Britney Spears music video.
- Star Wars parody movies.
- Everyone in this movie knows what everyone else is doing, except for Leia. More evidence that she doesn't have the Force and is not Luke's sister.
- Pete imagines a different movie in which Vader and Luke sense each other and then just fly out of their spaceships and have a fight in space. Sure, it would be a completely different movie but it would be cool. A lightsaber duel in space!
- Referenced: Superman IV
- Vader's costume is a life support system for space so he could have done it.
- Vader is micro-managing his officers.
- Han's "fly casual" line is too jokey but is not funny.
- Humor in Star Wars was previously plot or scene-based. They're now trying to make it dialogue based and it doesn't work as well.
- Also, the line should be "fly casual-LY".
- There should be a laugh-track in this movie. The list of SWM changes to be made to the movie now is:
- Subtitles for R2-D2 and Chewbacca.
- Photoshop in all the dead Jedi on Dagobah.
- Laugh track for all of Han's lines - Editor's note: classic listener project.
- The difference between the jokes in Empire versus Jedi. Something went wrong in Jedi.
- Harrison Ford's acting in Return of the Jedi. He's now the "funny character".
- Watching the movie one minute at a time seems to really wear the podcast guests down.
