    • Callout to former guest of the Show Josh Flanagan. He watched every episode of "Lost", except for the last.
  • We (the fans) would be disappointed if the hosts stopped before they covered the "good" Star Wars movies to come.
  • While Pete edits the show, he watches old 70's game shows with the sound off.
  • Myq saw (and enjoyed) Rogue One in Denver, CO. It was quote: "a fun exciting romp."

Meta-Notes

  • This is by far the longest episode of SWM:WE to date.
  • Current Pete (who is Past Pete from our perspective) left it to Future Pete to drop in the new mailbag theme, but Future Pete (who is now also Past Pete from our perspective) failed to do so, and instead there is just 30 seconds of silence.
  • According to UrbanDictionary.com (because it's not a real word), "transmodulate" means "To recreate something in another form; to render; to give new life to something."
  • "Heisenberg uncertainty" is the notion that you can't know an object's location at the same time as you know it's momentum, because the more certain you are about one, the more uncertain you will be about the other. Not to be confused with the Observer effect.
  • Very low "Star Wars:Other talk" ratio for this episode.
  • Shampoopoo Inc. is the "parent company" that Pete created for SWM. It doesn't have a logo yet, but when it does, the sound effect will be the "sploort!" from the Wondery Dove ads.
  • Not only is Ay Robot! still there, they're on twitter!
  • Upcoming SWM fantasy baseball. Post the team names on the SWMLS.
  • Shmi's name is never spoken aloud in The Phantom Menace.

Quotes

  • Pete: Blast it, Big, where are you?
  • Myq: It's like a direct line from the batcave to the Kremlin.
  • Myq: Only cool people have the direct line to this... Star Wars internet thing. Alex: Star Wars internet thing!
  • Pete: (quoting his wife) "If you're gonna transmodulate, you have to transmodulate in your youth."
  • Myq: Internet...go!
  • Alex: "The Wizard of 'HAs'"
  • Pete: (à la Ric Olié) The entire show is one big Role Call.
