<!--Metro notes Alex and Pete are wearing different clothes than yesterday implying they really did come back tomorrow. Starts out with the crawl telling us that Leah is sure that Jedi Master Luke Skywalker will return and ends with the patent did Star Wars camera tilt. it's weird and interesting that this movie takes place immediately after the end of the last one.
The resistance has been exposed. How so? note to self the resistant expose unauthorized biography. Mentioned: Pete de retaila.
Antiparallel to the opening crawl of Star Wars. After scene Force awakens Alex assumed this movie would be a straight remix of Empire. And there are some elements in common. Reference to a March Madness style bracket. The opening score. Call out to chrysanthi tan. Subtle differences in the recording of the opening theme but nothing identifiable to a specific movie. Pete's memories of WrestleMania 4 (1988) and Macho Man Randy Savage's theme Pomp and Circumstance. Transition from the opening theme to the score of the actual movie. In transition out to the closing credits.
As is tradition we open with a starship of some kind
Pete quotes even in the holiday special we see some kind of [Jefferson] Starship, but they're not first.
The opening shot is underwhelming.
Reference to undermined expectations
The book is different than the movie:
The novel has a prologue. Pete's copy is the 2018 mass market expanded edition.
The book came out after the movie. Director Riann Johnson had input on the novelization.
Dumps us into Luke's dream/fantasy where he's still farming in Tatooine and he married Camie (from the deleted Tosche station scene). He wonders what would have been if he joined the Alliance and had the adventure he longed for. Sort of a dream within a dream.
It's funny and sad and sweet that Camie is his fantasy spouse. Referenced: Jenny.
Meta notes: the marshmallow dream joke.
What else would have been different if his dream was real.
More from the book tomorrow.
List of cameos:
Referenced Jacqueline Kennedy onasus
Justin Theroux
Joseph Gordon Levitt vocal cameo slow n low
Garteth Edwards Rebel in krait
Gary Barlow also a Rebel, lead singer of band take that
The Hamills
Princes William and Harry play stormtroopers
Tom hardy stormtrooper (scene cut)
Referenced hardy boys
Joaquin Phoenix was considered for DJ
He went by leaf Phoenix as a child actor. He was born Joaquin changed it then changed it back.
Gugu mbatha raw rumored to be second female lead.
Nerdy rose.
Not getting cast in TLJ (or anything in the modern era of film really) is a mixed blessing. Kelly Marie tran was chased off social media, but not off of Star Wars.
Support the show in all the ways.
Big plug for the listener's society message board
Pete quotes you can pretend it's the 90s again, kids.
