Summary

Vader demonstrates the power of the force.

Guests

Damon Ciarelli

Notes

Film

  • Vader demonstrates the power of The Force by partially choking Admiral Motti.
  • The scene ends with a return to Tatooine.

Podcast

  • 14:14 podcast episode length.
  • Darth Vader choking a guy (which is Vader's M.O.).
  • Motti being a jerk ("ancient religion", "sorcerer's ways" etc) and messing with the wrong person.
  • Vader displaying his power (choking) in front of everyone.
  • Kurosawa / Hidden Fortress reference in this scene.
  • Practising the choking scene (Motti is the first to be choked and therefore set the standard for all the others).
  • Vader only choking Admirals and Captains.
  • Tarkin's non-plussed about Vader choking Motti; he lets Motti dangle (so to speak).
  • Alex seeing a framed signed photo of the actor that played Admiral Motti at a restaurant. It was signed "The steaks at <restaurant> are better than on The Death Star."
  • The 'pens' in Imperial Officer's pockets.
  • Apparently the actor playing Admiral Motti is wearing a different costume to what was first planned as the original costume didn't fit him. This contributes to the confusion around everyone's roles and responsibilities in The Empire.
  • Gaffi sticks, Bantha tracks, and The Star Was Fan Club newsletter (called "Bantha Tracks").
  • How the Stormtroopers knew to copy the Sandpeople's tactics.
  • In this movie Darth Vader is very dull and "unshining", his eyes are different, and his robe is over his armour (its partially under his armour in later movies).
