The Incomparable, number 384, December 2017.

Welcome back, everybody, to The Incomparable.

I'm your host, Jason Snell, and here we are.

It's time once again for our conversation about a Star Wars movie, a brand new Star Wars movie.

This is the last Jedi that we're going to be talking about probably more than once on this podcast.

But we're going to kick things off.

I've got a panel of five wonderful people who are going to talk about the Last Jedi.

And I'm just going to say it right up front.

If you do not want to be spoiled about what happens in The Last Jedi, do not listen to any of these podcasts.

What is wrong with you? Of course, we're going to talk about what happens in the movie.

What else would we talk about? Sorry, I apologize for this. Just go,

watch the movie and come back. Anyway, here's a spoiler horn. Don't plug your ears. Don't plug your

ears. It turns out that the sound of the spoiler horn is the sound of John Syracusa,

plugging his ears and making a noise while the trailers are spooling out in the movie theater. I didn't know that. John Syracuse is here, of course, with us. Hi, John. Two for two. No spoilers. We'll get to, I want to check in on everybody to see how spoiled they were, but I was just kind of like easygoing about the spoiler blackout,

and it worked. It was great. Um, Dan Moran is here. Hi, Dan. I'm holding for General Snell.

Can you, can you hear me? Can you hear me? Can you hear me? How about now? I don't think it's on. I

don't think it's on. Hi, Dan. Hi, Jason. Normally, our, our additional

participant would be Serendie Caldwell. She couldn't make it for various reasons. Hopefully,

she'll be in a later podcast this week with another panel. Uh, but guess what? I have

three people to replace her. That's right. That's how many people it took to replace her.

Tony Sintelar is one of those people. Hi, Tony. That's how many people it took to replace her. Tony

Sindelar is one of those people. Hi, Tony. Hello, Porks.
