Hey

0:11

buddy, welcome to another episode of Star

0:14

Wars Minute. It's the daily

0:16

podcast where we analyze, scrutinize,

0:18

and celebrate the rise of

0:20

Skywalker one minute at a time.

0:23

I'm Alex Robinson. My website is alexrobinson.fun.

0:27

I'm Pete the Retailer. My website is petethetailer.fun.

0:32

And today we are discussing Minute 141 of The Rise of Skywalker.

0:38

141 starts off

0:41

with a thank you to Transport Office

0:43

Coordinator Ben C. Vokes. Good

0:46

job Ben.

0:47

And it ends a minute later letting us

0:49

know that the song Lido Hey

0:52

was written by Lin Manuel

0:55

Miranda and J.J. Abrams. He's

0:59

like triple dipping that guy. He's got voice credits,

1:01

directing credits. He's doing everything. Yes.

1:04

And I bet he does

1:05

get residuals from all different fronts for that.

1:08

He gets directing residuals, acting residuals,

1:10

and songwriting

1:14

residuals off the movie. So he's getting

1:16

it wherever he can. He's a producer too.

1:18

His father's in it. There

1:21

you go. I think he's stealing

1:23

his checks. Well,

1:26

I've got nothing for this other than my

1:28

list of Pete's. We've got, we've been tracking the

1:30

Pete's. I think this is the second most

1:33

number of Pete's in the movie

1:35

in this minute. Do we

1:37

have anything else credit wise we want to talk about

1:39

first before we can jump into the Pete's?

1:41

Well, this is where, if you recall

1:44

last when we were doing, I think it was The Last Jedi,

1:46

was the first time we started getting outraged at

1:48

people's,

1:49

like the vice president of production

1:52

and sales was, you know, and

1:54

we learned that these were all dictated

1:57

by contracts. Like if you do work for them,

1:59

you get 10 slots.

1:59

You can fill them in however you want

2:03

Here are some of the Lucasfilm people credited mm-hmm

2:06

who I'm like really more so than the musicians

2:09

the vice president of finance the principal

2:11

counsels supervisor of asset

2:14

management at senior vice

2:16

president of licensing and franchise

2:18

like Hmm.

2:21

I mean you get a Star Wars so Yeah,

2:24

that's true. You know licensing and franchise is kind

2:26

of that should be number one. Yeah

2:29

Well, Disney Studios you have the executive

2:31

vice president of marketing the vice president of publicity

2:35

so But here are some

2:37

jobs that I thought were like okay.

2:39

These are more along the lines of what we were doing last week of cool

2:42

jobs

2:44

First all these end credits provided by scarlet

2:46

letters name for a digital

2:49

letter company. I bet they know what it means

2:53

Yes

2:56

One of the Lucasfilm credits is the keeper

2:59

of the holo-cron. Yes,

3:01

we learn she Leland she

3:03

yes Him

3:06

and Pablo Hidalgo Of course are the keeper

3:08

of the ones who keep continuity in

3:10

order and get to name all these characters and so

3:12

on now I have I have

3:15

a friend who used

3:17

to work with Ella a friend of ours and

3:20

whenever we sometimes

3:22

we'll go hang out with him and his friends and and

3:26

Any time I get into a conversation about what I do with

3:28

them it and everyone somebody be like, oh, you know we

3:30

went to school with with a guy

3:33

who's You

3:35

know and either they say like oh, yeah our friend Leland

3:37

cheese Oh, yeah, the keeper of the holo-cron or

3:40

they'll say like we got a friend who works for Star Wars and

3:42

his job is Keeper of the holo-cron. I'm like,

3:44

I can't Leland cheese So like they went they

3:46

know him they went to school them and they're always like Wow

3:49

Wow that I know who that is It's

3:51

a great credit. Yeah, and

3:53

I have not been at one of these things and spoken

3:56

to Leilin she so I don't think they necessarily

3:58

Keep tabs What would you

4:00

say to him? I don't think I'd be still in touch with

4:02

him, but. What would you say to him if you were at

4:04

one of these parent-teacher things and suddenly you

4:07

were hanging out with Lila G? Would you say,

4:09

I do a Star Wars podcast? Would you invite

4:12

him on the show? Well specifically with him,

4:14

I'd be like, oh hey, we know, I list off some

4:16

of the same people that we know. Okay. And

4:18

then be like, yeah, it came up because I do a Star Wars.

4:21

That's when you would say it off. Yeah, I do

4:23

a Star Wars. That's when he would slowly start

4:25

to back away. Well

4:28

maybe when you see him, you can mention

4:30

the fact that in the television

4:32

program Resistance, the

4:34

ill-fated Resistance, there is a character named Leechee

4:38

named in honor of Leland Chee. He

4:42

did the temporary voice track for

4:44

the character, but then was replaced by Fred

4:47

Armisen. So. Oh, yeah. Yeah,

4:50

it's a... Yeah. So

4:53

then we have Leland Chee. The

4:56

drummer for... It's been a rotating

4:59

position since the 80s, but the drummer for Devo,

5:01

he's also been replaced by Fred Armisen at one point. Oh,

5:04

really? I

5:07

think it's more of a thing, and once they lost

5:09

their... Well, not their original drummer, but the drummer

5:11

of note. Originally their drummer was the

5:14

third mother's brother. And

5:17

then... Okay. Alan Myers was

5:19

their drummer throughout their heyday, the

5:21

peak Devo. And

5:23

then since then it's been kind of a... Not a rotating

5:25

cast, but they've gone through a handful of drummers.

5:28

Yeah. I feel like drummers... Off the

5:30

top of my head, I feel like drummers are the most frequently...

5:32

We have to get a replacement for this. Yeah.

5:36

You know. So Ringo,

5:38

of course, hanging on. Some

5:41

other jobs, people I thought... Karen

5:44

Ireland

5:46

was the unit nurse. So

5:48

I'm sure a lot of people were thankful to see her. She

5:50

was also the unit nurse on Rogue One, Solo,

5:53

Detective Pikachu, and Black Widow.

5:55

Hmm. Ah, Ahmed...

5:58

Which set do you think had... the most visits to the nurse

6:01

to the nurses office which

6:03

which of those shoots I

6:06

don't think detective Pikachu had children on set

6:08

otherwise I would say maybe you know children are clumsy

6:12

yeah maybe

6:15

they would do it but children are that's my

6:17

favorite TV show back in the day children

6:19

are clumsy I

6:22

think I mentioned this before but man I against

6:25

my better judgment I do I follow an Instagram account

6:27

called kids getting hurt and

6:32

it's like luckily each one is you know like

6:34

has a you know in the notes it's

6:36

like dad said he was okay but like each one

6:38

is just kids just like eating it just totally you

6:40

know like like all the like going down the

6:42

driveway on a big wheel and falling backwards

6:44

or trying to jump into the pool and missing and hitting the

6:46

patio instead or like all kinds of do you

6:50

think that's like the kind of yin-yang where

6:52

you're a loving father but also some part of you know

6:55

some part of you is like you know it's

6:57

cathartic in that I get to see the like

6:59

all the like you know don't worry mom said she's okay

7:02

you know that kind of a thing like the end I'm like okay well if that

7:04

you get the bad that happens and

7:06

then I don't feel so worried

7:09

about my own you know I'm worried

7:11

I'm not gonna be like yeah it's okay just

7:14

film it put it on Instagram but I'm

7:16

a little bit like okay well if they fall off this thing and

7:19

I'm not the only one in the world who that has

7:21

happened to assuming one

7:23

of your children was you

7:26

know in an incident but was

7:28

okay would you consider submitting

7:30

your video to

7:32

possibly okay I mean

7:34

if it was funny enough yeah

7:37

also is this one guy doing them all or

7:40

he's collating collecting

7:42

people submit them because yeah

7:44

you hear about all those awful YouTube stories but people

7:47

turn you know turning their kids into YouTube

7:50

oh yeah

7:53

Ahmed gel bush was the drone

7:55

assistant hmm do you think

7:57

that means he is a drone who's also an assistant

8:00

He's going to redundant drone assistance. I

8:02

think he was just saying like, Hey, you want me to get

8:04

a cup of coffee? I

8:07

think he was helping the guy who was saying that. Oh,

8:09

right, right. He's the drone assistant. He's like, do you

8:11

want any? Coffee.

8:14

Coffee.

8:16

Um,

8:18

test pilot

8:20

Peter Gillian. He's on my

8:22

list. Oh yeah, I shouldn't

8:24

have brought that up. It's okay. He's

8:26

fantastic. Uh,

8:30

like if you said like, Oh yeah,

8:32

I mean, um, uh, I've got

8:35

a credit in the new star wars test pilot.

8:37

Oh, you played a test. No, I was the test pilot. I'm

8:40

the test pilot. Uh, the

8:42

light energy is your question. Who went to go see the unit nurse

8:45

the most the test pilot. I'm

8:47

sure. Why do they have a test pilot?

8:50

I mean, I guess if they have a, any

8:53

aerial, maybe it was with drones. Maybe

8:56

it wasn't. A little bit, but, or if they had anything

8:58

kind of like flying or maybe

9:01

to set up, you know, aerial shots, like helicopter

9:04

shot or something like that, maybe they needed to do set

9:06

up the rigging first and they have somebody just fly it over

9:08

first. Just be like, okay. Yeah. Like

9:11

somebody who's kind of an expert on why

9:13

coming out of control, you know, like problems.

9:17

Yeah. Good at aerial

9:19

problem solving. And then they're like, all right, it works with the camera

9:21

on that side. You just have to tilt it this way a little bit. And then

9:23

they, then the other cameraman pilot goes in. I

9:25

don't know. Yeah. I

9:28

bet Harrison Ford wanted to be the test pilot. He

9:30

was famous for his airline

9:33

stunts. Horses

9:36

provided by Devil's Horseman. That's

9:39

the, like what are those things called again?

9:41

The Orbox. Orbox, right.

9:45

Not fan fears, much as I wanted them to be.

9:49

That is the last of my specific

9:51

to the credits. I did ask how

9:54

much longer would the A New Hope credits

9:56

be if they were done in the modern style?

9:59

Of course we have no, yeah. of knowing but you know back

10:01

then I feel like there is less. How long

10:04

are the credits for Star Wars? You

10:06

want me to look it up? Yes. I'm

10:09

getting I guess not more than five minutes. Well

10:12

let's see. Do you want to take a wager?

10:16

I would say a little bit more

10:18

than, I don't know, maybe not because maybe

10:20

we started, I'm trying to remember what our season was like

10:22

but that was so long ago, who knows. Yeah, long

10:24

time. Let's

10:27

see. I almost said the name

10:29

of the URL where we watch our videos out loud

10:31

and that would have been better.

10:34

Oh boy. You would not want that. Original

10:36

recipe Star Wars. No

10:39

special edition, no nothing. Skip

10:42

to the end and we're talking about,

10:45

let's see, last, remember how long that

10:47

is? How long what is? Star

10:50

Wars. 123 minutes. Plus 122. Oh

10:52

sorry. I'm a poser.

10:56

Sorry.

10:59

I'm a wedge. Okay

11:05

so you may be correct. Let's

11:07

see.

11:10

They're getting medals now in 118. Yeah,

11:14

and the credits start in the middle of 118. And

11:17

it ends on 122. And it ends on 122. So half of 118, yeah.

11:23

119, 120, 121, 122. Three and a half minutes.

11:29

We'll call it an even four minutes. Well because I

11:31

think 122 is just a few seconds long also if

11:33

I recall correctly. We'll call it three

11:35

minutes. Seven seconds of black for

11:37

a minute 122. But still.

11:41

A lot different back

11:43

then. So yeah I guess that makes it like you know

11:46

back when I was encouraged, I've mentioned this

11:48

before as a kid I was encouraged to stick around and watch the

11:50

credits. Yeah. And you know when

11:52

they're four minutes long that's different. This is we got

11:54

two weeks going on here. Yeah

11:57

I really like your QR code. idea

12:00

where they'll just show a big QR code on the screen

12:02

you scan it and then and then

12:05

you can see the whole list of credits. Or

12:07

I think give out a like a playbill for movies we need

12:09

to go back to that like a program. Oh yeah.

12:13

Let's figure out how to make it worse for the environment.

12:16

What's the worst way that we can do it? Can we

12:18

make the playbills printed on plastic? Hmm.

12:21

Slims of plastic. Well

12:25

I have here the remaining trivia. Oh do

12:27

you want to do Pete's first? Do your piece. Yeah let me let me hit

12:29

the list of Pete's here. We already got one of them but I'll

12:31

back up in order of appearance within

12:34

the credits I think. In the

12:36

group of unit drivers, Peter

12:38

Tabeki is one of those. Driving units.

12:42

Standby vehicles by Lays International

12:45

UK. Is that

12:47

LA-Z-E or LA-Y-S? LA-Y-S

12:50

like the chips. Oh.

12:52

Let's.

12:53

But Peter Nerey is one of those.

12:57

Under listed under that, Standby Vehicles

12:59

by Lays International. Peter Nerey is one a member

13:01

of Lays International UK I guess. You

13:04

seem suspicious of this like it's some kind of shell

13:06

like a like

13:09

a con going on. There's

13:12

no Lays truck company. It's

13:16

a multi-million dollar graft. It's

13:18

going to turn out to be JJ Abrams. Using

13:21

an alias. There you go. He's

13:23

getting it everywhere he can. Yeah. He's

13:25

triple. Going back to the

13:28

Lucasfilm studio team.

13:30

We got one Pete Vilmer.

13:33

I think we've mentioned him before because it is tempting

13:35

to say his last name like Fred Flintstone shouting. Mm-hmm.

13:39

We got Standby

13:42

Carpenter. Standby Carpenter. Pete

13:46

Stewart. Pete

13:49

Stewart is Standby Carpenter. He's ready

13:51

to go on in case Karen can't play the drums and

13:53

sing at the same time. And his

13:55

brother is Pete Stewart

13:57

who's a part-time car... wait. Pete Carpenter.

14:00

And then he is a steward. He's

14:02

a part. Standby steward, yeah. Standby

14:07

steward. You know what steward? I like

14:09

you. Transportation coordinators.

14:12

One of them is Peter Williams. Hmm. You

14:17

think he is the son of John Williams? Oh,

14:19

maybe. I'm assuming anyone with a name that

14:21

matches someone else is just got the job

14:23

because they are related to that person. And

14:26

like that's like he was the guy who like

14:28

drove John Williams on to set.

14:31

He got his son or his grandson or whatever to drive

14:33

him to set. So then he was like, well, you

14:36

get a credit for that. So you'll be a transportation

14:39

coordinator. Let's make it his son

14:41

because it's funnier if it's a 70 year

14:43

old man driving a 90 year old man to work. Right,

14:46

yeah.

14:50

And

14:52

we got test pilot, Peter Gillan,

14:54

we mentioned him. Gillan. Gillan.

14:58

And then within that same kind of aerial

15:00

unit, shot over technician.

15:03

Shot over? Shot over technician.

15:07

S-H-O-T space O-V-E-R. No

15:09

space, I don't believe. Oh, shot

15:12

over. Shot over. The hunt for Brad

15:15

to shot over. I

15:18

believe shot over technician Peter

15:20

Graf. Which

15:24

then, who played tackleberry in

15:26

the Pac Academy movies? Wasn't that the? I

15:30

don't know. Because that made me think of like, I don't know.

15:35

Yeah, I'm not looking that up. I'm looking at

15:37

the. Or I'll look at them. I'm

15:39

looking up making double checking my spelling on shot

15:41

over technician. But

15:44

yeah, we. I

15:48

don't know what that person does. Unit

15:52

drivers. We had a little credit

15:54

for minibus drivers, which made me happy. I

15:57

wonder who was riding the minibus. David

15:59

Graf. David Graf. So this is

16:01

Peter Graf, a shot over technician. There's

16:03

some kind of connection there. You can see what I'm

16:06

going for. A tackleberry shot a lot of things. This is

16:08

a shot over technician. Do

16:11

you remember what a tackleberry's first name is? It

16:15

was a Eugene? Eugene. You

16:17

are a super fan of tackleberry. You're in the 1%

16:20

percentile. You're

16:22

in the 1% people

16:25

who know things about tackleberry.

16:27

About police academy. Not

16:29

police academy, just specifically tackleberry. Yeah,

16:32

you're a super fan. Yeah,

16:34

let's see. Unit, let's

16:37

see, prop man. We got

16:40

SFX technicians and assistants. Aerial

16:42

unit, here we go. Shot

16:46

over technician. One

16:48

word, shot over technician. One word, Peter

16:50

Graf. Listed right below test pilot

16:52

Peter Geelen. I wonder

16:54

if shot over is some kind of

16:58

filming thing. Shot over is the

17:01

software that they attach to the bottom of

17:03

the helicopter and then... You

17:05

know what? You're right. Because of the volume.

17:07

Two or three things below that we get.

17:10

Shot over stabilized camera systems.

17:14

Oh, okay. Team 5 LLC.

17:16

I kept seeing people

17:18

credited with something called lolly. Like

17:21

lolly operator. Lolly, you know, mechanic.

17:24

And I was like, what is that? And it turned out to be some

17:26

kind of software, you know.

17:28

Oh, okay. It wasn't like

17:31

a little cartoon kid with a lollipop. I

17:35

don't think they call that those in England. So

17:41

that's it for the peeps. That's it for the peeps in

17:43

the whole movie, actually. Spoiler alert,

17:45

nobody coming in tomorrow. So the

17:47

last peep with Peter Graf,

17:50

star of Police Academy movies.

17:54

Goodbye, funny man. Well,

17:56

in that case, I have some IMDb

17:59

Trivial left. over from last week. Oh

18:01

sure. It'll be the clearinghouse for that sort

18:03

of thing. I'm ready for some leftovers.

18:06

Carrie Fisher, we mentioned, she gets top billing

18:09

in the film. She's

18:11

actually the second actress to get top billing

18:13

in a Star War. Hmm.

18:20

Interesting. Oh, does Jyn

18:23

Erso get top billing in Rogue One?

18:25

She does Felicity Jones.

18:27

Is that her name? I don't

18:30

know. Sure. Anyway.

18:33

I know Tackleberry is first name, but I can't remember that actress

18:35

in a movie we talked about last year or two

18:37

years ago. Ira Bell. That's how we know her better as Ira Bell. As if the presence

18:47

of Penny's Boat

18:49

Hobbit was not infuriating enough, according

18:52

to IMDb,

18:55

Dominic Monaghan and JJ

18:57

Abrams were watching the World Cup

19:00

and they made a bet. And the bet was

19:03

if your team wins, you get to be in the new

19:05

Star Wars movie. Really? And that

19:07

is how he, according to the IMDb

19:10

trivia section, that is how he wound up with

19:12

the job. I almost think it's put there just

19:14

to make nerds even angrier. Yeah.

19:17

And he'd never seen a Star Wars before. Yeah.

19:19

You just heard it was something

19:21

fun to do. So

19:24

yeah, that's interesting. What year

19:26

was that? Was it 2018? Rise

19:28

of Skywalker,

19:31

he met in 19. Yeah, so that's probably

19:33

so we

19:36

can assume that that what

19:39

was JJ rooting for America? I

19:42

should hope so. I'm

19:47

sorry. Spoiler

19:49

alert, I never root for America. And sometimes

19:51

I'll root for America in definitely

19:55

in women's sports, I'll root for America. But I feel like rooting

19:57

for America in men's sports

19:59

was like double. Which

22:00

is why he was, um, what I like

22:02

about that theory is it, it's, it indicates

22:05

that the movie is filmed in order and it's only at the

22:07

end that they couldn't, you know what

22:09

I mean? Right. Like,

22:11

uh, but apparently, uh, Matt Wood told a story

22:13

where, um, because of the last minute script

22:16

changes, uh, Adam

22:18

Driver's back in New York and so Adam

22:21

Driver had to put on the

22:24

helmet and then record himself in

22:26

a closet saying lines for,

22:29

for that were added at the end. So,

22:32

uh, now I want to go back and see which scenes

22:35

of him wearing a helmet that they could, oh, that must've

22:37

been something that they put in, you know, after the fact.

22:40

So,

22:40

um,

22:41

it's like, you know, like, it's like, you know,

22:44

we're a dyad. Mom, are you using the vacuum?

22:49

You still lives with his mom. Yeah,

22:51

I do.

22:53

Um, yes. That

22:56

doesn't surprise me that I, I, I

22:58

wasn't blaming him this whole time. I was just thinking that

23:00

also there were, it seems like

23:02

there were a lot of changes, particularly with the ending with

23:05

how things were going to go. So I wonder if

23:07

that's why they had Adam Driver wear the mask

23:09

because it'll be like, it'll be a lot easier to change dialogue

23:11

after the fact. If we don't have the lip sync with

23:13

anyone's, you know, matter of fact, let's have him put it back

23:15

on. Let's make a new mask for Ben Solo.

23:19

Yes.

23:20

Um, some other people who are apparent

23:23

with credited with being in background

23:25

and extras and stuff, uh, designer

23:28

chip kid. Oh yeah. Jamie

23:30

Oliver, who I believe is a chef

23:33

of some kind. Okay. Uh, Dimitri

23:35

Vegas, the Vaios,

23:38

sorry, uh, Vegas, if I'm not pronouncing

23:40

that correctly. Uh,

23:42

a rapper by the name of Michael Dapah,

23:45

the AP A A

23:47

H. Hmm. And, uh,

23:50

Carl Urban, in

23:52

the background, he's the only

23:54

person on the JJ, he's the only one who has more credits

23:56

than the film than, uh,

23:58

Carl Urban.

24:01

That

24:03

is interesting. He's um... Which

24:07

parts? Vegas? Well,

24:10

who gets credited with their kind

24:12

of cameo roles and who doesn't? Because those are

24:14

also... I don't know. Maybe

24:17

not. Maybe everybody's credited with their... the

24:19

people that they sneak in. It's

24:22

hard to say because I feel

24:25

like um... You

24:27

know, over on Godfather Minute, plug,

24:31

the credits for Godfather movies are like

24:33

two minutes long. They barely credit

24:35

anyone. But if you go to the IMDB page,

24:37

like the actors, there's tons of uncredited

24:40

actors. So I'm not sure how... what

24:42

the rules are for how uncredited actors

24:45

are later credited on IMDB.

24:48

Is this just the actors putting themselves in? I don't

24:50

know.

24:51

Yeah, wasn't there some discussion as

24:53

to whether or not the... there's like

24:55

one guy who said he played three or four different parts in the original

24:57

Star Wars. And there's some discussion as to whether or not

25:00

he really was. I think there's some... Yeah.

25:03

Especially with like stormtroopers and stuff. People are like,

25:05

oh yeah, that's me. Oh yeah, totally. It

25:08

turns out it's actually an escaped prisoner

25:10

pretending to be a shanana. His

25:14

that I thought was kind of interesting. You know, we... it's

25:17

been discussed that of the Disney

25:20

trilogy. The first one is on Solo.

25:22

Second was Luke Skywalker. The last one was supposed to be Carrie

25:24

Fisher.

25:28

So someone

25:31

pointed out retroactively in

25:33

the original Star Wars,

25:36

in each of the original Star Wars, Luke

25:38

Skywalker has to establish

25:41

a relationship with a prequel character.

25:45

First one, he meets up with Obi-Wan Kenobi.

25:47

Second one is where he meets up with

25:51

Yoda. And then the third

25:54

one, he meets the Emperor. So

25:56

I thought that was kind of cool that it retroactively...

25:59

like obviously that was a pretty cool... I wasn't playing,

26:01

I was like, right. But

26:04

I think that's kind of a cool, you

26:06

know, feature, I guess. Yeah. It's

26:10

like poetry.

26:13

And finally, my last

26:15

bit of trivia. I was going to try

26:17

to tie that into what I guess

26:19

it's based on the prequels. I was like, when does that tie

26:22

into the, but you just said that the

26:24

new ones, each one is kind of featuring

26:27

an original trilogy character.

26:30

Right. It's like

26:32

the same structure of

26:34

taking three characters from the previous trilogy

26:36

and now making them. So we can

26:39

only hope that in the new Rey movies, but

26:41

then we start out with Rey, and then in the second

26:43

one she'll meet

26:44

Poe or Finn.

26:46

I guess to really maintain it, it would have to

26:49

be a new character who would then meet Rey,

26:51

and then the new character. Right, right, right.

26:54

Right, yeah. Let's say, who's it? Rose

26:58

Tico. And then the third one would be

27:01

hooking up with Zory Bliss. There

27:03

you go. So each character would...

27:05

Welcome back to hooking up with Zory Bliss.

27:08

I'm your host, Zory Bliss. I hope

27:11

that any sequels will

27:13

try to retroactively, like

27:15

we'll see

27:17

Rose Tico's children or like characters

27:20

that were minor characters in this, I want to see

27:23

turned into bigger characters so that

27:25

they'll become... Let's not say minor, let's say underdeveloped characters

27:27

from this. Underdeveloped characters, yes.

27:31

I meant the minor characters from Solo

27:33

when they were at the... Oh, the one that's underground,

27:36

yeah. Yeah, that's what I meant. My

27:39

last bit is that

27:41

one of the working titles was Star Wars,

27:44

The Last Hope. Hmm. Who

27:46

knows if it was true or not? I feel like they

27:48

just did The Last Jedi, so it seems like The Last Hope. It's unlikely to me

27:50

that they would have used that. Obviously they didn't,

27:53

so... Yeah. Do you

27:55

think the same... I was seriously considered. I

27:57

wonder if, like, how...

28:01

how long into the process they

28:03

came up with title ideas.

28:06

You know what I mean? Because even before, like, because

28:09

they knew, you know, they had points, story points

28:11

that they wanted to hit before

28:14

they did any of the scripting. They had like, okay, we're

28:16

gonna do a new trilogy. We're gonna, here's what's

28:18

gonna happen. This, this, this, this. And

28:21

so do you think that they had like, okay, you

28:24

know, Return of the Force,

28:26

I'm sure, was considered or something like that for the first

28:29

one. You know, they're like, oh, well, you

28:31

know, they probably thought, you know, went through all these iterations

28:33

of like, okay, we'll have this be the title

28:35

for that. I think, you know, we've said it before, I

28:38

think there's a couple of different, a

28:40

couple of missteps in,

28:45

not artistically, but just kind of conceptually with

28:47

The Last Jedi and having the middle one be called

28:50

The Last is one of them.

28:52

Like, that's, that's, but that's kind of appropriate

28:55

since that, that was the movie that kind of, Yeah.

28:58

acted like it was the last movie, the trilogy. And

29:00

then you're like, all right, see what you're gonna

29:02

do. Yes,

29:04

that's funny. I feel like they

29:06

just fed a bunch of Star Wars names into a

29:09

like random generator and it's just, you

29:11

know, they took,

29:16

I mean, to give George Lucas credit, he,

29:18

other than Revenge of the Sith, although Sith,

29:21

yeah, I was gonna say, he introduced

29:24

a new noun in each of the, like

29:27

the Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones,

29:30

and I guess Revenge of the Sith, that

29:32

was kind of a Star Wars word, but. Yeah, but I

29:34

mean, Clones were mentioned too, but it wasn't like, wasn't

29:38

like it was already in a title, whereas it was

29:40

nothing from the original trilogy. Certainly not, you

29:42

know, Sith has never spoken in the, original

29:45

trilogy.

29:46

Right.

29:49

But the Disney ones were a lot more conservative with

29:52

Force. Force, Jedi. Jedi,

29:54

Skywalker. They're like, when

29:56

I, no, let's do word association, I'm gonna say

29:58

Star Wars. You see the first three. where it's a pop into your

30:00

head. Yes, exactly.

30:04

That's all I have for minute number 140.

30:07

Uh, 141. Oh yeah,

30:09

both of them. I don't have anything for 140 either. So,

30:12

uh, we covered that last week. Yeah. Um,

30:16

yeah. Anything else? No, we're getting

30:18

close to the end here. So,

30:21

uh, I'm going to plug a more,

30:24

not more personal, but a more selfish

30:26

thing. I'm going to plug my merch, my merch store,

30:29

mine. And, uh,

30:31

you go to alexrobinson, supergenius.threadless.com.

30:35

That will take you to my, or just go to Threadless and

30:37

look up Alex Robinson, super genius, all one

30:39

giant word. And, uh, that will take

30:42

you to my merch store where no star Wars

30:44

designs that goes all in star

30:46

warsminute.com slash merch contractually

30:48

obligated. Yes. But if, uh,

30:51

you know, I do other stuff, I, I appropriate other

30:53

IP, not just star Wars. So, uh,

30:56

go check it out. What about you, Pete? Do you have any,

30:58

I was wearing a box office poison shirt right

31:00

here on this very show. I did notice that

31:02

actually. So I wanted to thank you for that.

31:05

Uh, what about you, Pete? Any,

31:07

uh, any side projects you want to say,

31:09

any hiatus projects you want to hype up? Um,

31:13

not right now. I did at one point

31:15

start up a, uh, a T public of

31:17

my own or a threadless of my own rather to put a

31:19

handful of things that are just nerd shirts

31:21

that I don't see out there. I'm filling a void

31:24

in shirts that I would want to have, but

31:26

I never did much with it. And I, I have a

31:28

bunch of half, half completed designs.

31:32

Um, but you know, like I said, we'll still be here. I think

31:34

I want to let people know to look out for a YouTube

31:37

star wars minute.com slash YouTube that will have some

31:39

new content coming up there. Awesome. That's

31:41

where I'll be flexing my muscles in the

video editing department. So, and

31:46

this will be exclusive on YouTube. Not

31:49

YouTube exclusives. I'm

31:52

going to head down to the steam back

31:54

31:58

only about Beck. me

32:00

32:03
