Summary
Filmunentarian & guest commentator Jamie Benning has some explosive opinions to wrap up All-Star week!
Guests
Notes
Film
- Starts with Kylo Ren making his attack run and ends with Kylo Ren coming around to make another attack run.
Podcast
- Kylo Ren's TIE Silencer prototype fighter.
- The complexity of the missile launcher. Originally the missiles were going to just come out of the bottom naturally, but they had to redesign it to match with the toy.
- The way Kylo Ren spins his fighter is echoes Darth Vader's TIE fighter spinning away at the end of Star Wars.
- That shot was not mentioned in many of the early screenplays, including in the shooting script. It must have been added later on.
- Is spinning actually a good trick, does it help you to fight or fly any better?
- Reference: Iron Man suits. In the future, that's going to seem so dated, unless we actually developed that technology in reality.
- The hangar on the Raddus is reminiscent of Battlestar Galactica (any one).
- How come there's no door on the hangar? It leaves them vulnerable to bombing runs. Most spaceships in Star Wars don't have doors, they have just a see-through force field that you enter and leave through.
- Anakin flies in and attacks from the inside in both The Phantom Menace and Revenge of the Sith.
- How come there's no door on the hangar? It leaves them vulnerable to bombing runs. Most spaceships in Star Wars don't have doors, they have just a see-through force field that you enter and leave through.
- "Resistance Babies" (à la "Muppet Babies") as the spin-off of this movie.
- Tallie has quite an internet following considering how little screen time she has. Maybe she's more like a Dak than a Wedge.
- BB-8 gets decapitated but does not perish
Meta Minute
- 49:22 podcast episode length.
- Although this is Jamie's first appearance on the STAR WARS MINUTE, this is not his first Movies by Minutes podcast, and he's a frequent guest on the Indiana Jones Minute.
- Wedge had only 2 minutes and 30 seconds (rounded to the nearest quarter minute) of screen time across the entirety of the Original Trilogy, whereas Tallie had 1 minute and 30 seconds, which is greater than Wedge had in any individual movie.
Quotes
- Pete: ...analyze, scrutinize, and there's no proof that Stomeroni Starck dies...
- Alex: Does "lady pilot" Tallie get killed in this […]? Pete: Oh yes she gets very exploded.
- Alex: the Disney films are [...] relatively light on dismemberment
