Notes

Film

  • Starts with BB-8 down under repairing Poe's ship, and it ends with General Leia venting her anger out by humiliating C-3PO in front of everyone on the bridge.
  • BB-8 gives an "Uh oh".

Podcast

  • What is Corinthian leather? We don't actually want to know.
  • The inside of the X-wing is very 70's analog, so it is both in-line with Star Wars and alien for us.
  • The Resistance is like when James Bond "quits" so he can go rogue.
  • Orbital load lifters. Are they related to binary load lifters (C-3PO programmed)?
  • Listener project (shout out to Kake Jelly): Techno remix of Canady's line "What are we waiting for? Fire on the base!"
    • Nobody does anything in the First Order until they're told to do so.
  • Why the TIE fighter blows up after going through the "bagel slicer". Shout-out to Star Wars Explained.
  • We can understand BB-8's dialog more than R2-D2 and so can the characters. What (emotional) ages are our main droids supposed to be?
    • It's like a child who is only understand by his/her parents.
  • Mentioned: Who's that droid with the red arm?
    • Golden Tony was opposed to Threepio having a red arm in TFA.

Meta Minute

  • 21:39 podcast episode length.
  • Pete was right: Corinthian Leather isn't really a real thing (more of a marketing gimmick). This ploy may be playing on the so-called Detroit rule, whereby any item (usually food, but the term can also be applied more generally) sounds better/more appealing if a place name is put in front of it (e.g. Philly cheesesteak, Chilean sea bass, etc.). The rule is named for its sole exception,.
    • Just kidding, this is not a real thing in marketing, but maybe it should be?

Quotes

  • Josh: And I'm Josh Flanagan. He's an older guest, but he checks out.
  • Pete: Let's not re-litigate Star Wars.
  • Pete: Golden Tony: against the red arm.
