Summary

Han murders Greedo, the Death Star sets sail for Alderaan, and the droids hide in a closet

Notes

Film

• Greedo does not shoot in this minute.
• One of the only times you see physical currency in Star Wars.
• Leia's resistance to the mind probe.
• Iconic shot - contemplative Tarkin.

Podcast

• Nobody reacts when Han shoots Greedo.
  • Or rather, they look up, see it's only Greedo, and then go back to their drinks
  • Is murder that commonplace? Why do people even come to the cantina then?
• What is an appropriate tip for cleaning up a dead body?
• Harrison Ford's acting (is good in this scene)
• Is the mind probe a force thing? Or is it the torture ball?
• Referenced: Cyclops and HavoK (his younger brother) from X-men
• Mike's Star Wars fan fiction

Meta Minute

• 14:48 Podcast episode length
• The hosts clarify that 8-DAY-GREEDO should be used for calls about upcoming minutes so that calls can be played on the show.
• Alex will bring up the possibility of Han's gun having a stun setting again in ESB minute 20. Asterios finds this unlikely.
• The Liberace looking guy is named Yerka Mig

Quotes

• Pete: "That's the family friendly restaurant - all the others are much worse."
• Alex: (As Wuher the bartender) "Finally a classy guy comes in here!"
• Pete: (As a suddenly remorseful Solo) "Please help! My friend's been shot!"
• Mike: "That's just so Greedo."
• Pete: "Honey, have you seen my hand saw?" Alex: "I hear it's... quite a thing to see."
• Pete: "Look for Liberace."
