Notes

Film

  • Starts with an (unidentified) transport pilot revealing that they're taking fire. Ends with Snoke telling Rey that "…soon they will all be gone for you".

Podcast

  • The quality of Laura Dern's acting (in this vs. in other things).
    • How many academy award-winning actors in Star Wars? Note: see below.
      • Callback to Pete's story about the stolen quarters.
  • Planetfall (the novel and the video game).
  • The many colors of Pete's hair. Mentioned: Hot Topic.
  • Snoke probes Rey’s mind so he saw the first half of the movie.
  • If your nemesis is depressed and doesn't even want to live anyway, does that take the fun out of beating them?
  • Luke getting junk mail from the First Order Bank while in exile on Ahch-to.
  • The Emperor as the slick CEO of an evil banking organization or tech company and their day-to-day villainy.
  • Is there a hard currency in Star wars, is it coins or is it all electronic?
  • Mentioned: "more food in Star Wars letters".
  • The "Looney Tunes" action of Rey trying to levitate the lightsaber and then Snoke boomeranging it to smack her in the head.
  • Snoke calls them "rebels" meaning we basically abandoned calling it the Resistance in this movie. Connotations of the word 'rebel' in Star Wars versus in American culture. Mentioned: Sal Mineo's ghost.
    • Pete bowled at Rebelanes in Tupelo, Mississippi. It was very very poorly reviewed.
  • Kylo Ren moves his head in response to the lightsaber flying around. Good acting by Adam Driver or is there actually something that they threw on set?
  • Callback to the scene in ROTJ where the Emperor has Luke look at the destruction of the fleet. *Seriously though, why get a deterrent mocap actor to play the part of Snoke? Technically, he was a puppet of Palpatine (as we learn in the next movie).
    • What if he was a literal Palpatine hand puppet?
  • The red curtain parts, it is now time for our feature presentation.

Birthday twins

  • Kelly is birthday twins with Adam Driver (day and year!).
  • Pete's is Mase (the rapper) and Johnny Moseley (the skier and TV host). Referenced: Fake Becky from Roseanne.
  • Plug for SWM and Kelly on social media. Check Star Wars Minute YouTube to figure out how to spell Kelly's last name.
