| 0:39.8 | Welcome to How the Force Works, a three-part podcast commentary on John Williams' eighth score in the Star Wars saga, The Last Jedi. |
| 0:44.2 | In part one, I talked about my personal history with Star Wars, the history of Star Wars music, |

| 1:33.7 | keep in mind, my notes are probably inaccurate and also keep in mind I don't really know what |
