Guests
Notes
Film
- 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).
Podcast
- 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.
Meta Minute
- 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.
Quotes
- Alex: (as a protest chant) What do we want?! Unidentified! When do we want it?! We're not sure!
