Summary
Chewbacca growls and Artoo beeps with happiness.
FADE OUT
Guests
Notes
Film
- General Ristt is nervous.
- Start of the credits.
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
- Is there still slavery on Tatooine? Probably. Why would you even have slaves in a world where droids exist?
- The fan theory that, before The Phantom Menace (sorry, Pete), that the story would be about Anakin freeing the slaves on Tatooine.
- Who legally owns R2 and C-3PO now? Is it Luke? The hosts call for the help of a lawyer to sort out.
Meta Minute
- 22:50 podcast episode length.
- 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.
- The line "How dry I am" comes from the Irving Berlin song The Near Future"
- Alex can't decide what to call our guest today (J. K. or James), and at the last moment settles on a compromise.
- Pete will later reveal that Lucas was fined for The Empire Strikes Back, not Star Wars.
Quotes
- Alex: I think we have the only two Ishtar fans in... possibly, North America. J. K.: A well-placed explosive and we'll be no more.
- Alex: Drunks never sing "How Dry I Am" anymore like they used to. J. K.: You know what? Next time I get drunk I'm gonna make that happen for ya Alex.
- Alex: (Referring to the writer/director of 5-25-77) We should have the guy who did that movie on the podcast. J. K.: Guys, I'm right here.
