Guests
Notes
Film
- Starts with hands touching hands (reaching out, touching me, touching you). Ends with the council deciding that Rey is getting kicked off the island.
Podcast
- Riley is calling us from her ship in hyperspace.
- Referenced: "Sweet Caroline" (Neil Diamond song), "Survivor".
- Rey and Kylo touching hands is more intimate and emotional than any kiss we ever see in Star Wars. It's more loaded.
- The acting in the scene and the director as "actors' directors."
- To quote Ryan Johnson, this is probably the closest we'll ever get to a sex scene in Star wars.
- Compared to Obi-Wan finding out about Anakin and Padmé's forbidden relationship. The Prequel movies don't really use this as a plot points
- So credit to the "Clone Wars" series, where this actually does come up.
- Even if you take out the romance aspect (which wasn't a guarantee at this point in the story), it's still a clandestine meetup of supposed enemies.
- The intimacy of Vulcans touching hands in Star Trek.
Meta Minute
- 27:34 podcast episode length.
