Notes

Film

• Boss Nass dismisses the Jedi, then shakes his jowls.

Podcast

• What does the jowl shake signify?
• Cut dialog: No nocombackie law, and description of Jar Jar's "pune-ishment".
• Gungan Basic is hard to understand. We wish there were subtitles.
• Qui-Gon is a terrible Jedi.
• Psychoanalyzing George Lucas.
  • Qui-Gon as an imperfect father figure.
• Mentioned: Chewbacca's life debt.
• Would you rather: A movie starring Dexter Jettster or Boss Nass?
  • Both, as a road movie.
  • Referenced: Black Sheep.
    • Boss Nass would naturally play the Chris Farley part.
