===Film===
*Starts with R2-D2 and C-3PO on the road to Jabba's Palace.
*Ends with "Artoo Detoowha" being introduced to a door.
===Podcast===
<!-- Topics and notable trivia about the podcast episode -->
*Jordan is responsible for editing the new slate of [[:Category:Works at Marvel|Marvel Comics Star Wars adaptations]].
*A scene of Luke completing his lightsaber and giving it to R2-D2 between the last minute and this minute was cut from the movie.
*Other ways that this scene could have gone.
*Star Wars deleted scenes are [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Canon considered canon] unless they contradict something else shown in the movies. Things that are canonical as a result of this rule.
*The hosts realize that Jordan, given his comic book work, is their gateway into official Star Wars canon.
*Back to the minute in question.
*Luckily there is a lot of flat ground around on Tatooine for R2-D2 to roll on.
*C-3PO is Jordan's favorite character.
*This is another "droids on Tatooine" opening / entry into a Star Wars movie.
*The droids deliver unclear exposition as they walk along. Do they really know what's actually going on? R2-D2 knows and C-3PO doesn't have a clue.
*What is the plan for this rescue? ''(This will become a major theme for the upcoming podcast episodes).''
*This scene contains the only special edition or Blu-ray change in minutes 6 through 10. The shot of the droids approaching the door is zoomed out much further to show that the door is actually enormous.
*Where this door is in relation to Jabba's Palace.
*Where the various elements of this sequence were filmed. The door set was in Elstree Studios and these scenes were shot on days 2 and 3 of shooting the movie. (The first day of shooting was the sandstorm.)
*[[Accents#Long_.22a.22.3F_Short_.22a.22.3F_What_about_.22e.22.3F|Pronunciation differences]] - C-3PO says "JAB-ba" whereas everyone else seems to say "JAH-ba".
*Questions about the door:
**Is the thing that extends a droid or a camera?
**If it is a droid, is it a stand-alone droid that lives in the door, or is the whole door a droid?
**Either way, are the droid/s involved in the door happy with their lot in life?
*In theory, C-3PO should be better at speaking to the door than he seems to be.
*C-3PO and R2-D2 could have just not knocked and left. How the movie would have been different if this happened.
*The door droid must not be happy with being a door and this is why he is cranky.
*The door droid may actually be responsible for all of the security at the palace, or the entire palace is one big droid.
*Is this the main entrance to the palace? There are a lot of people in the palace and there are no spaceships around so the hosts think that it is probably just a loading dock of some kind.
*Reasons that the droids are using this door instead of the main door.
*Could C-3PO really short-circuit R2-D2 just by telling him something shocking? Or is C-3PO speaking metaphorically.
*R2-D2 sounds wimpy and childlike in this entire scene
*When did C-3PO hear all these things about Jabba the Hutt? From Han Solo on the ''Millennium Falcon'' or from Chewbacca when he was fixing C-3PO.
*More talk of doors and droids coming up.
