Notes

Film

• Starts with Qui-Gon telling Jar Jar he's wrong, and ends with Anakin telling them how very dangerous sand storms can be.
• Jira the pallie vendor.

Podcast

• Why doesn't Qui-Gon feel Anakin's Force-sensitivity from just a couple feet away?
  • Maybe because the Force doesn't exist.
• The sandstorm doesn't look that bad and has zero payoff.
• It seems like Jira has her own credit system too.
  • "Jira Dollars, like Applebee's bucks.
  • Referenced: the mobile payment service Venmo.

Meta Minute

• 15:44 podcast episode length.
• 8-DAY-GREEDO call from Reed on Nashville. He thought Panaka was spraying Binaca breath spray when he uses his communicator.

Quotes

• Alex: He [Qui-Gon] must be playing his cards close to the space vest—the space poncho.
• Pete: You're a real Han Solo.
