Welcome back to Star Wars Minute, the daily podcast in which we analyze, scrutinize, and

celebrate the entire Star Wars Saga one joyful minute at a time.

My name is Alex Robinson from comic book Alex.com and I'm Pete the retailer from

Ryan welcome back you are a returning champion from the original Star Wars minute

Star Wars the Star Wars minute yeah thanks for having me back guys we are are on minute 51 of the Empire Strikes Back, a minute 51.

It starts off with a forlorn R2D2 being left alone to guard Luke's makeshift camp on Deggabah and it ends a minute later when

Han and Lee are on the Falcon engaging in a little pre-Kiss banter.

Lea is welding and they are getting ready to make out. I'll start with this even though it's at the end.

Funny you say lay a welding because that's that was a big point of not point of contention but the

when they released the THX laser disk box set in the

in 94, 95, something like that. See I wasn't even ready for that.

Sorry.

This instinct kicked in.

I just blank, I blackeded out what happened.

When they released you know this massive box set and it's like oh it's the best you know it's

supposed to be almost like archival where it's supposed to be you know it was definitive

edition of the Star Wars trilogy.

And like Side 3 of Empire, I think, starts with the closing part of this scene, but they

cut out seven seconds of Leah welding.

So those seven seconds where it cuts to Leah and she's welding.

That part was cut out up until where she closes that thing that she's working on. And then then starts to kind of mess with the handle or whatever.
