Notes

Film

Ends with Qui-guy telling the chancellor that the situation has become more complicated.
  • We see Republic Guards for the first time.

Podcast

  • Brief discussion of the number 327.
    • Chris and his friends celebrated Life Day on March 27th.
    • Boonta = Life day.
    • Referenced: The TV series “227” starring Marla Gibbs as Mary Jenkins.
  • The hosts like to see the evolution of Republic Guards into the Emperor’s Royal Guards.
    • Chris thinks the whole thing is garbage and a mistake.
  • Coruscant is too clean and polished to be in the used universe of Star Wars.
    • BUT, this is the "President's landing platform", which means it should be even shinier.
  • Terrence Stamp (Valorum) is the highest-ranking Superman II crossover to date.
    • Compared to, say, Gold Leader.
    • He was totally underused in this film, but then taking big actors and wasting them in tiny roles is kind of a Star Wars thing.
    • Referenced: Star Trek: Generations.
  • Palpatine||Trump.
  • Finis (Valorum), Sheev (Palpatine), and Wilhuff (Tarkin) were probably roommates and part of a secret society.

Meta Minute

  • 25:57 podcast episode length.
  • The Russian equivalent of US Navy Seals is the Spetsnaz.
  • It's interesting that the Resistance/Rebel Alliance have become something of a symbol of The resistance to the Trump administration.

Quotes

  • Chris: What do you think is the Naboo national anthem? Alex: <snores loudly>.
  • Chris: Terrence Stamp is NO MAN’S PATSY!
