Sorry Faldor, I lied.

Okay, there's enough of us left—I'll fly out to do AOTC, Tom can take ROTS, etc. There's a precedent set now, as long as we keep visiting you guys have to keep doing the show

Thanks, Marty. Fixed.

This ain't the show. Just to be clear.

What a treat! Thanks for doing this commentary guys! Teague, you haven't lost a step at all with the classic DIF/FIYH sync point instructions.

I haven't finished listening to it yet, but I'm really enjoying how you guys approached it from the lens of "What are our opinions on this thing before the internet told us to hate it?". Because my suspicion has long been that people typically thought The Phantom Menace was a fun movie, but had big problems with the next two. Speaking of which, I hope we get another commentary on Attack of the Clones in the future with this same kind of lens (although I don't think any kind of lens will be able to save that one from scrutiny)........Oh, and what did you guys think about The Last Jedi?

And about the Jedi robes discussion, although Obi-Wan's and Owen's robes look kind of similar in the original movie, Obi-Wan's are much closer in appearance to samurai robes (longer cloak that goes down to feet, huge sleeves), and Lucas did take inspiration from those Kurosawa samurai films. At some point though, I think he did want to make the Jedi have outfits similar to Luke's in ROTJ, but may have just decided to revert back to his original inspiration for what the Jedi were.

Oh and I think Ryan has become the new Trey with his interesting personal anecdotes.

"Ah, what's this you've given me Teague? A flower? It's red like a rose, shaped like a rose, smells like a rose and has thorns like a rose... but what's that? You say it's an elephant? Seems a strange thing to call a rose. But if you insist."

*fist bump*

Roses are generally characterized by the presence of Brian or Dorkman or Trey — not to mention scheduling.

There was a discussion about the term "Sith" in this commentary. I think you guys agreed that the term was known from supplementary material from the original trilogy, but wasn't clearly defined and portrayed in the movies until the prequels.

Here's a deleted scene I found from the original movie that shows that "Sith Lord" was a term that was actually used and filmed back in 1977: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Erf6s_wYJk . I wonder how closely George's original concept of Sith Lords lines up with what they ultimately became in the prequels.

The "CD bootleg with a logo in the corner" mentioned in the commentary is probably this one (the Star Wars On Video site has hundreds of SW home video covers, both official and otherwise; check out the other bootleg covers for a good laugh).

Oh yeah, a picture!

Fun fact: the Qui-Gon/TV you see in this picture is directly facing a second Qui-Gon/TV on the opposite side of the room, so most of the time you see us looking 'to the right' in the YouTube video, we're actually not staring off into space — or listening to Owen — but watching the same video on a second TV and giving our necks a break.

Apologies to Owen for the 'or-listening-to-Owen' punchline, which would have befallen whoever was in that seat.

They belong in a museum

I think it's only fitting that Qui-Gon is in that picture with us, seeing as Ryan taught us all how to make lightsaber effects on an image of the Jedi Master himself.

Even though I did all the typical tourist stuff, The Teague Tour™ was genuinely one of the standout moments of my trip. It was pretty much like visiting the most niche museum that exists - scratch that, it's not like the most niche museum that exists, it IS the most niche museum that exists.
