Strikebreaker Maz Kanata pops in for a quick cameo but Tim Barnes is guest commentating all week!

Starts with Poe saying he'll be there to jump us up Lightspeed and ends with Maz Kanata telling us how we can find the master codebreaker.
There are only two white people in this scene, and one is a droid and the other is comatose (note: see below).

Tim loves Maz. Referenced: how you pronounce "Han".
The logic of this moment.
The rarity of the live holo-calls. It's like a drone that's programmed to just follow you around. Mentioned: Flubber (1997).
Let's talk about the union dispute.
- What has transpired since we last saw Maz (which was at most a couple of days ago). Did someone call her in or are these her employees and she's trying to prevent them from unionizing? Even the good guys are strikebreakers.
- When Pete tried to look it up, it was just listed as Unidentified Union Dispute.
- Maybe Maz is in the union herself.
The racial diversity of Star Wars has greatly expanded in recent years.
The complexity of the plan.
- If they can call people, can't they use that somehow?
- How does Maz know exactly where the master codebreaker would be and that he'd still be there when they got there? It's a bit video-gamey.
They thought about having either the master codebreaker or the DJ character be Lando. Billie Dee said he'd do it.
- They could have added Lando to the conference call.

28:19 podcast episode length.
If you watch the video, it is apparent that Tim stepped on Alex's intro, but being the seasoned podcaster that he is, he goes with it.
FYI: the robot from Flubber is named Weebo.
According to Red 5 autographs, MD-15C was played by Nathan Plant, a Caucasian English actor.

Alex: (as a protest chant) What do we want?! Unidentified! When do we want it?! We're not sure!
