Notes

Film

• Starts off with Kylo Ren asking Rey if she can see [his] surroundings, and ends with Luke telling Rey about the island inhabitants who take care of her surroundings.

Podcast

• Mentioned: "The Golden Girls".
• Pete loves the Caretakers and thinks they're great.
• Watching these movies a minute at a time has totally messed with Pete's perception of the order of events and what happens in which movie.
  • Behind the curtain: between last week's episodes and this week's, Pete watched the whole movie again with his kids, so that has contributed to his time confusion. Referenced: Doctor Manhattan ("Watchmen").
• After failing to do the Mind Trick, Kylo Ren is completely off-kilter.
  • He should be hastily hiding his room so Rey doesn't see anything embarrassing.
• Rey is still all emotion: she wants revenge against the guy who killed her new father figure, where is Kylo is a big nerd about the specifics of the call and trying to figure out how it works.
  • You might think it'd be the opposite where the evil guy would be all passion and emotion and the good guy would be dispassionate and analytical.
  • Rey is in the moment so she's quicker on the draw.
• Referenced: Guys named "Joe E.-" or "Joey-"something.
  • Pete thinks the anesthesia droid should sound like Ed Wynn (Uncle Albert in Mary Poppins).
  • Shout-out to Joe Dator and his Jack Benny [impression].
• Luke on Ahch-to is what Mark Hamill's character in Corvette Summer would have eventually turned into.
  • The fake out where we're not sure what Luke is referring to when he enters. Does he see Kylo also? Another reference to Mannequin 2: On the Move.
  • Lucas basically in his bathrobe, he's essentially the Dude.
• Kylo knows that Luke is there with her, can he see him or does he just sense that Rey can see him?

Meta Minute

• 28:11 podcast episode length.
• The English word "lanai" (plural: "lanais") meaning a Hawaiian-style covered patio or porch comes directly from the Hawaiian word 'lānai'. No word as to how the Lanais in Star Wars got their name or if they have any connection to the term as it is used on Earth.
• Off-Kilter Compositions is a media company run by friend and former guest of the show John Ingle.

Quotes

• Pete, Alex and Ken: *dueling Ed Wynn as the anesthesia droid impressions*.
• Alex: (paraphrasing Jeff Bridges) that hut really brought the room together.
