Welcome back to the Star Wars Minute. It's our daily podcast in which we analyze,

scrutinize, and celebrate the Star Wars movies one chilling moment at a minute at a time.

Excuse me. My name is Alex Robinson from comicbook Alex.com and I'm Pete the retailer from

Pete the retailer.com. I'm Dantelfer from I guess nerdy stuff or whatever.

Or what have you? Well thanks for coming back then. We are here discussing

minute 23 of Return of the Jedi, minute 23 and it starts off with a

mysterious figure entering Java's palace and it starts off with a mysterious figure entering Java's palace

and it ends a minute later with Luke Skywalker confronting Java

face to face.

I think it's the first and only time we see Luke Force Choke somebody right?

That's very true yeah that's some it's kind of dark-sidy stuff. Yeah like

especially I take issue with this because he just walks right in and doesn't

he owns the place. They move to barge bar the door and he just do me.

Let's talk about this. Yeah, that staging is real phony baloney.

He instantly just goes to choke like not you know you would think and like yeah

the Maury and guards are weak-minded you you know, they're just pig people.

Well, they cross those axes like right in his face, like way too close,

where they, except they're doing it in this very staggy dramatic way that doesn't seem threatening they're just kind of like and we walk

up and cross and then he's right there so like if you were Luke and let's say you weren't to

Jedi you would be terrified because they're right in your face.

The Luke kind of Azal Kaj and like it makes that, the whole thing just seems very anti-dramatic, when it's supposed to be dramatic if that makes sense like I almost feel like they shouldn't be crossing I feel like that's almost too much like they should just be running at him or something they should be like know, like he got through the door. They should be

like ready to attack and then he should force joke him.
