According to the visual dictionary Ray's trip to octo was long and difficult. But what does that actually mean in Star Wars? Travel time through hyperspace seems to be highly variable and plot dependent. The Star Wars Chronicles book. It has a chart of distances between planets in Star Wars. Meta notes look up which weekend edition show Pete is referencing. The longest run is from Tatooine to Coruscant its 22 days in 14 hours although there is no cited reference for this figure. Nothing in Star Wars ever seems like it takes days and days of time. 7 hours from Tatooine to Alderaan. But that doesn't make sense because Alderaan to Coruscant is only 16 hours.
The sound design, particularly the exchange between kylo Ren and Rey is really good. There's kind of an overlap between the sounds that each character is hearing. Unlike many of the other films this one's really plays with moments of silence and quiet.
To the point where some scenes " confused" some people we thought the movie was broken. It's the kind of nerds who demanded they be sent a corrected LaserDisc when the LaserDisc they got cut out 3 seconds of Leo welding on the Falcon in Empire Strikes Back. Or maybe they're doing like a Rocky Horror Picture Show thing where the audience is supposed to fill in what sounds I think go there. Ray's first instinct upon seeing kylo Ren is a try and blast him. Still hot-headed and impulsive. It's reminiscent of the second the concierge Darth Vader on Cloud City he whips out his blaster. It also calls back boots Skywalker bring his weapons into the cave including his Blaster rather than relying on his lightsaber. We also see the ray takes a moment to disengage the safety just as Han Solo taught her. Ken quotes if this year has taught us anything, take the holiday you want, Pete.

After kylo Ren tries and fails to do the mind trick on Ray he looks incredibly sheepish that it didn't work. Mind control is usually a Jedi rather than Sith power so it's interesting that kylo Ren can do it. Alex quotes as liverpudlian Obi-Wan maybe it shows that are not so different after all. Pretending that Obi-Wan actually knew those Stormtroopers and together they were playing a trick on Luke. This supports Pete's theory that the force doesn't exist. The sports connection between kylo and Rey can be explained as a zoom call. 10 quotes yes it's one of those classic snoke meet-cutes. Referenced the Bene gesserit voice from Dune.

The kylo slide. Met a notes when did we see that before? Referenced: The Breakfast Club. Pete and angry angry kylo Ren speaking not singing take those old records off the shelf.( Old Time Rock and Roll (. It fits with his pouting child / Daffy Duck character. Does kylo ren really have nothing better to do than sit around? This is the first order like Conquering the Galaxy? No, because he had a doctor's note. This minute is one of many sad puppy moments for kylo Ren in this movie. Ray's costume Motif fingerless Opera gloves. Ken can and will come back tomorrow. Rate, review, subscribe please.

Summary

Guest commentator Ken Plume takes a shot at talking about Kylo and Rey talking and taking a shot!

Guests

Ken Plume

Notes

Film

  • Starts with Kylo Ren sensing a connection, and ends with him suggesting that the effort would kill Rey.

Podcast

  • Most guests have their own website; if they don't it's a little bit harder to plug their stuff. Pete should just assign them a website that they can be from.
    • Referenced: Mannequin 2: On the Move.
  • Prior to this viewing, Ken didn't realize that this scene is the setup to what happens to Luke later in the film.
  • Are Kylo and Rey talking just telepathically or could other people see them too?
    • Everyone in the First Order more or less ignores what Kylo Ren does for their own safety; if he's acting out they just move on.
    • It seems like everyone can see Luke because when Kylo Ren says "fire at that man", they all fire in the same place.
      • It would be funny if they were just pretending and had to figure out where Kylo thought Luke was standing.

First Order healthcare

  • It would be fun to read a "From a Certain Point of View" story told from the perspective of the facelift robot.
  • The fact that Kylo Ren interrupts the facelift robot is just rude. Think of the people waiting for treatment after him.
  • The different levels of healthcare in the First Order.
    • If you're just a stormtrooper, you get the Walgreens-brand bacta.
    • Bacta is like the penicillin of the Star Wars Universe in that it revolutionized medicine.
  • Which outdated medical treatments are hosts preferred as children.

Other notes

  • The sound design, particularly the exchange between Kylo Ren and Rey is really good. There's kind of an overlap between the sounds that each character is hearing.
    • Unlike many of the other of the street Star Wars films, this one really plays with moments of silence and quiet (to the point where certain scenes "confused" some people who thought the movie was broken).
      • It's the kind of nerds who demanded they be sent a "corrected" LaserDisc of The Empire Strikes Back when the one they got cut out 3 seconds of Leia welding on the Falcon.
      • Or maybe they're doing like a Rocky Horror Picture Show thing where the audience is supposed to fill in what sounds they think should go there.
  • Rey's first instinct upon seeing Kylo Ren is a try and blast him. Still hot-headed and impulsive.
    • It's reminiscent of the second that Hán sees Darth Vader on Cloud City, he whips out his blaster.
    • It also calls back Luke bringing his weapons into the magic cave on Dagobah (including his blaster, rather than relying on his lightsaber).
    • We also see the Rey takes a moment to disengage the safety, just as Han Solo taught her.

Meta Minute

  • 27:52 podcast episode length.
  • As of October 2021, Pete does not own petetheretailer2.com (or other variations).
  • Although Pete said it would be funny to pretend that only Kylo could see Luke on Crait, he forgot to bring this up during those actual minutes.
  • Bacta replace Kolto as the medical fluid of choice. Kolto comes from the original Knights of the Old Republic video games (now Legends), but was made canonical by the YA novel The High Republic: Into the Dark.
  • In doses available over-the-counter, hydrogen peroxide is actually not an effective antiseptic and should not be used for treating or cleaning wounds.

Quotes

  • Alex: (on getting used to the fact that they're currently covering The Last Jedi) I'm still writing checks that say "Episode 7".
  • Pete: (as Kylo Ren): Hang on a second, I have to talk to my imaginary friend.
