Summary
All-Star guest commentator Tierney Steele is here from the net to carp about fin, ray & the rest of the grouper if it gills her!
Guests
Notes
Film
- Starts with Leia revealing her cloaked binary beacon and ends with Finn saying if they jump again they'll just be out of fuel and realizing they're in a tight spot.
- First time we met {{{2}}}.
- First appearance of Unidentified female Resistance monitor.
- Mikayla Cole ("I May Destroy You", "Black Mirror"). More of a cameo than a working actor bit part.
- Admiral Ackbar appears in this minute.
Podcast
- Tierney did not pick a franchise for her Movies by Minutes podcasts, and so she has done 7 different movies (working on an 8th) (to her folly, but our enjoyment).
- Larma D'Acy.
- Played by Amanda Lawrence and named for Rian Johnson's friends Dan and Stacy.
- "Larma" kind of seems like it might be tuckerized from Amanda Lawrence.
- If you're the one writing a star wars script, there must be tremendous pressure from your Star Wars fan friends to include them in the movie.
- If Tierney were an extra in a Star War, she'd totally go X-wing pilot.
- Alex would want to be in a cantina scene so he could see all the funny creatures. He'd need to be a Space Tourist so he could ooh and Ahh and it wouldn't be out of place.
- All the unnamed characters seem to be monitors instead of officers. What this says about the structure of the Resistance (or lack thereof).
- Why they can't transmit the signal from the ship why they need a planet or base. Something something servers something.
- Fuel has been talked about before, but this is the first time where we were in danger of running out of it.
- he slow car chase in space feels like a recycled "Voyager" or "Battlestar Galactica" plot line.
- Referenced: the cut Anchorhead scene (Biggs: probably a freighter tanker refueling).
- On first viewing, a lot of this went completely over Tierney's head, but the more she watches it the more it rises in her esteem.
- The Raddus being in danger of running out of fuel is a parallel to the Millennium Falcon hyperdrive not working.
- With Empire, it took people and critics a long time to come around to "get hip" to liking the movie, and maybe the same thing is happening here.
- Admiral Ackbar has been reduced to just saying proximity alert rather than actually leading any ships. Maybe he also got slapped and demoted (see yesterday's minute).
Meta Minute
- 37:28 podcast episode length.
- "It's Dot Fun!" has become a bit of a running joke this season (in the videos at least).
- We'll actually get to talk to someone in tomorrow's episode who played an X-wing pilot in this movie.
Quotes
- Alex: (in nerdy nasally voice) Nngghhhh "Cloaked binary beacon".
- Alex: Shoot! Got Zuvio'd.
- Pete: (to Tierney) How's your "screaming and perishing"?
- Tierney: I'm making you the promise that I will break that promise.
- Tierney: Dear Lucasfilm: nobody needs that.
- Pete: (re: Admiral Ackbar) Rather than recast him, they just blew him out the airlock.
