Notes

Film

Podcast

  • Referenced Ishtar, 5-25/77
  • J. K. was always distracted by the strip of metal on Threepio's hip that keeps bending. Special effects fail?
    • For this reason, this is J. K.'s least favorite minute.
  • What do the Rebels do after this? Is it like a wedding reception?
    • Maybe there's a "Beer Keg Droid." Is it Artoo?
  • Callback to yesterday's minute.
  • Discussion of the order that the actors' names appear in the credits.
    • Eddie Byrne, who played General Willard, gets a strangely high billing position
  • Mentioned: Pete The Jawa
  • Shoutout to: Jack Purvis, Gary Kurtz
  • Who would you play when you played "Star Wars" as a kid?
  • Further discussion of how Star Wars borrows from Dune

  • This minute sets the precedent for analysis of the credits in the future movies - a little analysis of the credit, and then some free-form discussion.

  • Alex can't decide what to call our guest today (J. K. or James), and at the last moment settles on a compromise.
