Podcast

• So, Qui-Gon knows that Padmé is the Queen, right?
• Doing all of Amidala's lines using a Nemoidian accent
• Is that the same Bib? or Does Jabba make replacement Twi'Leks change their name?
• We are "treated" to Paul's Marlon Brando as Vito Corleone impression

  • TPM Jabba is second best (obviously ROTJ Jabba is tops)
