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
31:44
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
