Hearing Puppet Lando makes me happy! Great episode! 😂

Philip Ehlke

Oof, I don’t think they ever considered it but if they removed Sebastian Shaw in the official cut of ROTJ I would all but disown Star Wars 😛

When joining the RFR Facebook page there are a few questions, one is about your favourite RFR episode - I listed some and added “pretty much any time Swank loses his shit with Puppet Lando”. A new favourite in my archives.

Concerning the whole Sebastian Shaw ordeal. I, too, think it makes the most sense to keep him as Vader unmasked, for all the reasons you guys discussed. As for the Force ghost at the end, though, I have some mixed reactions. I grew up with the Special Editions, so I'm used to Shaw appearing there. But at the same time, having seen Christensen there so much, I'm more used to it--and can accept it more, for a few reasons. My brother made an interesting point once: He didn't understand who "the old man" was supposed to be. We grew up with the prequels, so pretty much always saw Christensen as Anakin. For those of us who would just casually watch the films after seeing the prequels, the broken continuity of seeing someone totally different replace Christensen's main character just wouldn't jive. Shaw's portrayal as a broken old man dying looks completely unrecognizable when you compare it to Christensen. If Anakin is redeemed, the recognizability for a casual person is paramount, I think. But, digging deeper, for us hardcore fans, I've heard an interesting theory: Force ghosts could appear in whatever form they like. We don't really have much experience with Force ghosts, so the jury is still out on this one. But this theory seems to make the most sense. Personally, I could have the Force ghost of Anakin either way. It doesn't bother me. But looking at it from a casual perspective, and from the perspective of continuity for the casual viewer if he's watching from eps I-VI, it makes more sense to change it--while leaving the incredible performance of Shaw. As for the so-called "creep factor," I'm not so sure that's not unfair to poor Hayden! Some people, I believe, just have a certain look to them that, when making certain expressions, can be misunderstood as something totally different. I'm largely sympathetic here due to how I, myself, have been misunderstood in my own expressions not too dissimilar to Hayden here! Kinda sucks, needless to say.... lol But that's life, I guess.

Puppet Lando was awesome.

So, I've got a suggestion for some merch. What if you had some Q&A merch? Maybe a picture of Jimmy Mac in the middle of a few pics of the Q&A hosts circling around it, or something? Lol Matt Rashid would probably be the sexiest of us all and put us to shame, though.... lol But seriously, what about Q&A merch?

Eric from Phoenix

Those are some of my favorites too. Two classic puppet Lando episodes 1) Puppet Lando reading an excerpt from a new Lando book. Something about a bulge in his pants and a hint of an ass. 2) Puppet Lando reading the Denny’s Solo themed menu.

Eric from Phoenix

Great show guys. Loved the shanty and always great to have BMac on the show. Love hearing JMac and Swank bust a gut laughing at puppet Lando.

Rob Stewart

Had to pull over while driving from the Puppet Lando reading episode - both from Billy Mac himself and Swank’s laughing

RobO from ChicagO

I’d love some mini puppet Lando merch! Maybe like finger size puppets 😂🤣

Rob Heaton

I hereby nominate that Puppet Lando segment for the RFR Hall of Fame
