Hey there Star Wars Minnetars this is Mark Toresky of the origami yoda series of audio books

uh... you're coming up to many minutes ninety nine in the phantom menace

uh... where we get a short scene between uh... think the guy's name is Sid Bibble and the evil

Newt Gingrich. Newt says, your queen is lost, your people are starving. Now if you look at the same minute from the Holiday Special,

you have the commercial for the Whirlpool Corporation, which we all know begins,

this country may be in danger and could be losing something we can't afford to lose, which clearly echoes the dialogue about losing the Queen.

And then it goes on to say that we're threatened by the slipshod and the second rate.

I think we can all agree there's nothing more slipshod or second rate

than the Namoyian invasion of Nibu.

Anyway, if there was ever any doubt about the validity of Ring Theory, this should put all those arguments

to bed.

Love you! Welcome back to the Star Wars Minute. It's your daily podcast in which we analyze

scrutinize and celebrate the Phantom Menace one minute at a time. I'm Alex

Robinson from comic book Alex.com. And I'm Pete the Retailer. And I'm Ryan Help from Pete the Retailer.com.

And I'm Ryan Help from Ryan Help.com and from this show whenever something scientific comes up and

Pete and Alex say, hey, we should ask Ryan about that.

Yes, thank you for coming back.

You are our go-to resource.

We should have been keeping a list of all the questions we had.

I wrote down two of them.

I don't know if I have time to get to them this episode,

but I have some prep done if needed.
