NOTES

Here is the 2017 Elizabeth Sandifer essay on Return of the Jedi that I reference in the episode. Well worth a read, as is her other stuff on Star Wars.

I have now seen both the scene from the Obi Wan show that Patrick describes... and also the 'Mouth of Sauron' one from Return of the King Matt and Patrick both admire. Can confirm: both are, indeed, good. You can see them on YouTube, of course, as you can the original 1983 trailer we use, and many, many brilliant Carrie Fisher interviews.

I had the great experience of doing a podcast hosted by Patrick before, discussing fandom culture in general, and it was a good time! Listen to that one here.

And all credit to DJ2FLY, for our outro. Rousing stuff. Here it is.
