Notes

Film

  • Starts with Jar Jar telling the Jedi that they are "bombad", and ends with "the Queen" making a decision about whether they should stay or go.
    • First time that "bombad" is used.
  • Clear shot of Saché
    • Played by Sofia Coppola.
  • First time "Coruscant" is mentioned.

Podcast

  • Referenced: Poochie from the Simpsons.
  • Ralph is not a big fan of this movie.
  • Sio Bibble is super ungrateful to the Jedi for rescuing them.
  • Ring theory: Minute 24 of ROTJ features Luke coming to rescue his friends from Jabba.
    • Mentioned: Spoilers, Luke is Darth Vader's son.
  • Captain Panaka is being Mr. Negative yet again.
  • Limited numbers of bad guys.
    • Referenced: Willow (1988).
  • Qui-Gon points out that the Federation's plan makes no sense (lampshading?).
  • Spin-off: "Hogan's Heroes" but in the Nemoidian camps on Naboo.
  • Qui-Gon says "destroy" rather than kill. They rarely say "kill" in these movies.
  • Sabé is looking to Padmé to figure out what they should do next.
    • Is she telling her the correct decision in code? She says "we are brave", and since "brave" starts with "b", they should choose plan B, which is to go.
  • Sio Bibble's voice is nearly always dubbed in.
    • Referenced: Jigsaw Killer from the Saw film franchise.
  • Complex, pristine costumes in this movie (vs. the Original Trilogy).
  • Referenced: Alphabeatical, A Cosmic Christmas.

Meta Minute

  • 23:42 podcast episode length.
  • Lou Costello (of Abbott and Costello fame) was actually born in Paterson, NJ, which is about 20 km away from Jersey City.
  • The tumors composed of semi-normal tissues like hair or teeth are called 'teratomas'. Don't Google it, they can be pretty gross.
  • Saturn stopped making cars in 2010[1].

Quotes

  • Alex: You feel betrayed? I THINK betrayed.
  • Ralph: If you were to cut me open, you would find inside blackness, hair and teeth.
  • Alex and Ralph: <dueling Liverpudlian Obi-Wans>
  • Pete: Put STAR WARS MINUTE in the fire...
