Comments on: GWC Podcast #110 http://www.galacticwatercooler.com/2008/07/26/gwc-podcast-110/ Each week (for three years running) GWC\'s geek hosts jump into new material, becoming fans and passing on the experience with the help of what\'s widely recognized as the friendliest community in science fiction and fantasy. Rolling Stone magazine called GWC \"the NPR of BSG,\" and Howard Stern agreed, describing GWC (and geeking in general) as a \"guilty pleasure.\" Past topics include The Guild, Alien, Eureka, Eve Online, Star Trek, Terminator, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, Firefly, Serenity, Dr. Horrible, Tron, War Games, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Cosmos, Batman, Transformers, X-Men, Mass Effect, SyFy and sci-fi programs, individuals such as Will Smith, Felicia Day, Joss Whedon, and many more!

Good one. Hmmm. I say Yoda….

He’d split Maul in half also……with his mind! Screw the lightsabers!
“With my mind in half split you I will…”

(No pun intended.) "Still, he knows we’re all going to see Anakin’s burning carcass in Sith, so why go through the trouble?" Sith was the only SW film to be rated higher than PG. Possibly he was trying to avoid making Attack PG-13? Nice catch, Jim. (No pun intended.)

Anyway, Audra made a quick comment during this podcast that reminded me of something. She was referring to young Boba picking up Jengo's helmet "with his head in it" and holding it against his own..If you look carefully and go frame by frame following Jengo's decapitation, you will see the shadow of Jengo's head falling out of the helmet just before the helmet itself comes to rest on the ground. It's very very quick. Therefore, Boba is actually holding an EMPTY helmet. I'm not picking on you, Audra. Obviously, it's not that important. I just thought it interesting after a friend showed me on the DVD (2nd to last edition) and then you made that comment, so I had to share. Why would Lucas do such a thing? I can only assume he and his minions wanted to make that scene as "clean" as possible and put that shadow-work in as an out--so there were no stumpy, cauterized neck parts hanging out to gross out the kids. Still, he knows we're all going to see Anakin's burning carcass in Sith, so why go through the trouble? And btw, yes, Greedo shooting first is THE WORST ADDITION to the special editions. I can't stand it! FRAKers! Thanks so much for taking the time to do the 'cast. And please keep doing it until 09. I look forward to it every week. All the best, Jim Hi guys: LOVE the podcast..Please keep up the good work while we wait forever for BSG 4.5.
