Notes
Film
- First of two whole weeks (ten full minutes) of podracing
- Sebulba sabotages Anakin then literally twirls his mustache (à la Snidely Whiplash)
- Graxol Kelvyyn is the tallest practical costume (11 ft tall) in the film
- Death of Mawhonic
Podcast
- First attempts to come up with a collective names for SWM fans
- Threw "SWiMmers" out there
- Description of pod race from original draft
- Many names reused and shuffled
- Likened to rearranging the deck chairs on the (space) Titanic
- Mentioned: Star Trek
- Referenced: Mickey by Toni Basil, Batman climbing walls in the original Batman TV show
Meta Minute
- "Kelvyyn" sounds like "Kelvin" which J.J. Abrams (who directed Episode VII) tries to work into each of his movies
