Unprecedented Force [ghost] lightning.

Does Pete need to buy bizarrealbumsandalsothepodcast.com?
Referenced: Crocodile Dundee, Billy Joel, "Yoda" (Weird Al song), Paradise by the Dashboard Light.

Tony predicted that Yoda would show up in this movie. But he also thought that Alec Guinness as Obi-Wan would be there (CGI-resurrected like Tarkin in Rogue One).
- Pete had it "spoiled" for him by Frank Oz being at the premier.
- Mentioned: Even Piell.
- They reused the original mold, but there's something off about his mouth area. Shout-out to Tom Spina Designs. Mentioned: Henry Cavill's mustache.
- Ranking Yoda's appearances.
Neil Scanlan also did special effects on Little Shop of Horrors.
- Oz was surprised they wanted him to do the puppet I'm addition to the voice.
Mentioned: making of Star Wars documentaries "The Director and the Jedi", "From Star Wars to Jedi", and "Classic Creatures: Return of the Jedi".
(Controversial) new Force power.
- Sheev was secretly manipulating everything throughout the series (even things that don't matter).
- Pete will allow it. More references to Grease.
Luke's reaction to Yoda showing up. Yoda calls everybody young.
Referenced: Jeff Bridges in The Fisher King, "Well excu-u-use me!" (Steve Martin).
- Could Steve Martin work in a Star Wars movie? Sure.
Both Tony and Alex can come back tomorrow.
Remember,the show is available as both a show and a podcast.
Ella 's parents are fans of Bizarre Albums. Tony says to say hi for him (he has a few "hi"s to spare for his good friends Pete and Alex)..

Pete: (à la Crocodile Dundee) Yoda's like, "that's not a fire... this is a fire!" Alex: I don't know, I don't judge a fire by its size.
Alex: ...a glazed Yoda. Pete: [...] whereas I prefer the jelly Yoda.
Tony: ...excuuuse Shmi!
