- The Emperor is mentioned, as is The Force.
Podcast
- Grand Moff Tarkin as a great character.
- Peter Cushing as the second 'big' actor in Star Wars (after Alec Guiness). They bring gravitas to the movie.
- The Imperial Senate in the Prequels.
- How corrupt did the Senate really get?
- Movie plot links to events that occurred in the World Wars.
- George Lucas' personal political philosophy.
- Admiral Motti's excessive pride over The Death Star - "The ultimate power in THE UNIVERSE!".
- A common sci-fi trope "The best in the galaxy, universe etc".
- Background Imperial officers in this scene (e.g. Wullf Yularen, Chief Bast).
- Modest or restrained hairstyles and facial hair in this scene and the movie in general (especially for 1970s sci-fi).
