Guests
Connor Ratliff, Griffin Newman, and Patrick Cotnoir
Notes
Film
- Starts with Rose recognizing Finn, and ends with Finn telling Rose "That's disgraceful."
Podcast
- Great acting by John Boyega in this minute.
- So many transformations, from trying to escape and getting caught to being cocky, to then being uncomfortable at how much Rose idolizes him, and then back to "oh no, she's been tasing deserters" at the start of next minute.
- Quality comedic acting. "The Finn" is funny. But it's also good character development.
- Finn was with the team at the end of the last movie, but he's not yet in it for your Revolution.
- Rose did not sign up to be the main character, and is not at all unhappy that she's just part of the larger movement.
- This is also evocative of "The Wire" (per Connor) because we have characters whose lives are impacted by other characters in different storylines that we, the audience, know about but that they have no notion of.
- We've just cut from a scene of Holdo being angry at Poe for getting the entire bombing fleet killed to Rose who is sad because her sister was one of those bomber crew members.
- Up to now, we've never seen casualties of war that have family members grieving for them.
- This is also evocative of "The Wire" (per Connor) because we have characters whose lives are impacted by other characters in different storylines that we, the audience, know about but that they have no notion of.
- Fimn trying to bluff his way through this situation reminds us of the screwball comedy of Han talking on the intercom, getting frustrated, and shooting it.
- Finn was child soldier robbed of his identity and the first two people he meets essentially are Poe and Han, basically the two coolest guys in the galaxy, and he's struggling to do an impression of them.
Meta Minute
- 48:53 podcast episode length.
- In this minute, it's very clear that director Rian Johnson was influenced by Kurosawa's Hidden Fortress (which was also famously an influence of Lucas'), in which the two peasant characters who have nothing to do with the larger-scale plot and intrigue are the point-of-view characters.
Quotes
