Filmunentarian & guest commentator Jamie Benning has some explosive opinions to wrap up All-Star week!

Starts with Kylo Ren making his attack run and ends with Kylo Ren coming around to make another attack run.

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.
"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.

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.

Alex: Does "lady pilot" Tallie get killed in this […]? Pete: Oh yes she gets very exploded.
