Summary
Force ghost Yoda has a final fireside lesson for young Skywalker and guest commentator Tony Thaxton!
Guests
Notes
Film
- Starts with Yoda getting on Luke's case again. Ends with Luke and Yoda chilling by the fire.
Podcast
- Plug for Don't Stop Or We'll Die (for which Tony plays the drums) and former guest of the show Paul Rust.
- Referenced: the Sam Neill in The Hunt for Red October.
- Rey would've loved Yoda if they met, but since he's a Force ghost can she see him? Or are Force ghosts only in Luke's imagination?
- Nobody else really ever sees them in the movies.
- Do real ghosty ghosts exist in Star wars? Lot of unanswered questions.
- Jedi leaving their robes behind when they die.
- How they (choose to?) appear.
- Referenced: "Sesame Street", the Great Gazoo.
- Yoda hits Luke with his stick. A rare instance of a Force ghost interacting with eye physical world? Referenced: Paul Scheer's sandwich.
Meta Minute
- 25:15 podcast episode length.
- The song "Babu Frik" by Don't Stop Or We'll Die is the closing theme for The Rise of Skywalker Minute.
- Wookieepedia describes ghosts as "folkloric creatures" so they've definitely heard of ghosts in Star Wars, there's just no word as to whether or not they exist.
Quotes
- Pete: [Yoda]'s a regular Snuffleupagus.
- Pete: (re: Yoda's sick) Not only is it better than bacon, it's Marty Jannetty.
