Minute 28: C-3PO and Luke go looking for R2-D2.

The existence of the nether-world in the Star Wars 'universe' is confirmed by Uncle Owen.
The first time we see the Landspeeder and the various ground effects used with it in the movie.
In the movie, Banthas are played by 'dressed' elephants.

Treadwell and what he's designed for.
The last time we see Uncle Owen alive (complete with his bathrobe and a curse).
Aunt Beru using the juicer.
The Landspeeder being a cool toy.
Cut scene of Luke and C-3PO travelling in the Landspeeder with rear projection (looks terrible).
Is C-3PO driving the Landspeeder? Why would Luke want to be a passenger in his own vehicle? Perhaps droids fly everything for Luke and he never gets his driver's / pilot's license.
How many droid's are roaming around the Tatooine desert?
Tusken Raiders showing surprising restraint by not shooting at the Landspeeder.
First view of the Banthas, plus their appearance in Alex's book.
The way Tusken Raiders get on and off their Banthas.
What are Tusken Raiders and how are they linked to Jawas?
- Tusken Raiders as inbred hillbillies. Mentioned: Deliverance (1972)
Acknowledgement of humans as droid slave masters. Referenced: "Uncle Tom's Cabin"

Josh: In relation to cutting the Landspeeder rear projection scene "Its odd that at one time they <the Star Wars movie makers> had the ability to distinguish between something that looked good and bad."
Josh: In relation to Tusken Raiders "...if you unwrap them would they just be humans...?"
Josh: On Jawas growing and turning into Sand People and their voices changing as a result "They go from EH (high pitched noise) to RA (low pitched noise)!" <Josh links these noises to an actual scene in the movie.>
