Notes

Film

  • Starts with Finn saying "this place is great". Ends with Finn asking "what are those things?" It's a fun creature minute.

Podcast

  • Pete and Alex were the last two people over at Chrysanthe's apartment before the pandemic in March of 2020. They distinctly remember thinking "I wonder if they'll be the last people I see..."
  • Pete was mixed on the “intro Bight”.
    • As mentioned last week, the creatures feel a bit too “Babylon 5” or “Doctor Who”ish. But if you're not familiar with either of those shows it's hard to put your finger on why they feel that way.
  • Recall: the hero of the original Cantina scene was the dim lighting; when creatures are well-lit they don't look as good. They have a certain TV quality about them.
  • Is the comparison with the original Cantina apt? Chalmun's is a dive bar, and this is a ritzy casino.
    • Comparisons of Canto Bight to Disney World and Las Vegas.
      • Las Vegas now caters to the common person but it used to be you had to wear a tuxedo just to get in. Canto Bight seems more like that.

Meta Minute

  • 49:02 podcast episode length.

Quotes

  • Alex: Here we are, on the other side. We made it. *Prevaricating noises from Chrysanthe and Pete*. <Through gritted teeth> Alex: We made it.
