Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith: Question 1: A major highlight of this film is the Emperor and the culmination of his grand plan, particularly after we’ve seen it built up in the previous films and The Clone Wars. Now having seen through to the end, what’s your perspective on the Emperor’s plan, and how would you summarize your thoughts on the Emperor at this time, and the performances of Ian McDiarmid as the Emperor in the films, and both Ian Abercrombie and Tim Curry as the Emperor in The Clone Wars? Question 2: One of many aspects of the Emperor’s manipulations that stands out some is his planting the idea in Anakin’s head that “The Sith and the Jedi are similar in almost every way.” This idea is given weight in that after Anakin kills Count Dooku, the Emperor assures Anakin by saying, “He was too dangerous to be kept alive.” and then later, Mace Windu justifies his decision of attempting to kill the Emperor without trial by claiming, “He’s too dangerous to be left alive.” What’s your thoughts on how the Emperor is inadvertently proven right, from a certain point of view, and how it does highlight the sometimes-blurred line between the Sith and the Jedi? Question 3: There’s been debate on the Emperor’s physical appearance following his duel with Mace Windu. Although he claims that “The attempt on my life has left me scarred and deformed.” George Lucas has intimated that the scarred and deformed appearance of Darth Sidious is the true appearance of the Emperor due to about a half a century give or take of using the Dark Side of the Force, and that the face of Palpatine is a mask which was destroyed during the battle. Ian McDiarmid has likewise stated that he portrayed the Emperor with this idea in mind. Again, this is a topic of, usually, friendly debate amongst fans. What's your take on the Emperor’s appearance? Would you say you believe it to be the result of genuine scarring and deformity, or would you say you believe it to have always been his true face formed through the decay of the Dark Side of the Force? Question 4: In the original script, Count Dooku spent some of his final moments begging the Emperor for mercy. Sir Christopher Lee successfully argued against this citing that it would be out of character for Dooku to debase himself by begging. What say you on Dooku’s final moments and if they had gone with the original idea, what would have been your thoughts on that? Question 5: Order 66 is often cited as one of the most traumatic and devastating events in fiction of the last thirty years. In recent years, it has been compared to the Red Wedding and the Snap. How would you summarize your thoughts and feelings on Order 66, and how would you compare Order 66, the Red Wedding, and the Snap? Question 6: My brother told me about a theory he heard concerning Cody that as soon as I heard it, I yelled, “Canon! I take that as canon!” The theory is that although it appears that Cody makes no effort to resist Order 66 like how Rex did, in actuality he does by subtly altering the aim of the cannons, thus missing Obi-Wan and the delightful creature. This combined with Cody’s knowledge of Obi-Wan having a habit of surviving worse than falling from a great height, it’s Cody’s way of resisting Order 66 just enough to give Obi-Wan a fighting chance to survive. What do you think about that? Does that sound like a plausible idea to you, or not? Question 7: Now we come to a question that I have waited a LONG time to ask you. Obi-Wan has the infamous line, “Only a Sith deals in absolutes.” which has led to many fans, some in seriousness and some in jest, accusing Obi-Wan of hypocrisy as the statement, is itself, an absolute. What's your opinion on Obi-Wan's line? And I'm fine with any answer you have, as I just would really like to hear your perspective. Star Wars The Clone Wars: Question 1: Plo Koon emerges as one of the most popular characters of the show and one of the chief examples of how the show expands on and improves the viewing experience of Revenge of the Sith. Now we’ve reached the end, how would you summarize Plo’s character, as well as your thoughts on how following Plo’s journey and character in The Clone Wars has the result of his death in Revenge of the Sith going from a sad moment to begin with, to then become one of THE saddest scenes of the franchise? Question 2: Going back to the episode where Ventress and Grievous led the attack on Kamino. If I recall correctly, you mentioned wondering why the attack happened. My theory is that the whole attack was a test to see how effective the clones would be in carrying out Order 66. And if it failed, it was still early enough in the war that a course correction could be enacted. Now having seen Order 66, looking back on that episode, what are your thoughts on the attack on Kamino and the purpose behind it? Question 3: You’ve frequently mentioned that the episode Clone Cadets, the one where we first meet Domino Squad and 99, is perhaps your favorite episode. Now that you’ve seen the show in its entirety, would it be safe to say that you say the opinion still stands? Question 4: You mentioned in the reaction to the final arc about wondering about was the attack on Coruscant deliberately timed to distract from Darth Maul’s actions on Mandalore. I think one could make a case either way. My own thought is that it was a genuine coincidence which conveniently worked to the Emperor’s advantage, though certainly, it is possible the timing was deliberate. Reflecting on it, do you have any further thoughts and/or preference about the timing being deliberate or coincidence, or do you like the ambiguity of it all? Wednesday: I love the slow burn nature of the mystery aspect of the show, particularly how practically anyone is believable as either victim or villain. What's been your take on the mystery aspect of the show? Star Trek: Do you have any further thoughts on the episode, The Tholian Web, and how Kirk is largely absent for once (Thank God) and how the crew dealt with that, as well as the tension between Spock and Bones in the episode? More specifically, you mentioned that you found it particularly great how the tension between Spock and Bones wasn’t focused on who was right and who was wrong. Do you have any further thoughts on that specifically? The Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas Special: Question 1: I know that a significant highlight of the special for you was that Mantis, your favorite Guardian had a major role and focus. Anything further you wish to say about that? Question 2: Any further thoughts on the most heartwarming scene that revealed how Nebula went to Earth and ripped Bucky’s arm out of its socket so that she could give it to Rocket as a Christmas present? The Star Wars Christmas Special: Question 1: Any further thoughts or comments or just anything else you care to say about this special, particularly seeing as how you enjoyed the special significantly more than the vast majority of Star Wars fans did? Question 2: James Gunn has stated that he unironically loves the Star Wars Christmas Special, and that it heavily inspired the Guardians Christmas Special. Now that you’ve seen both, how would you compare the two, and do you see the influence of the Star Wars Christmas Special in the Guardians Special? Question 3: If I recall correctly, you brought up really wanting there to have been a C-3PO song and dance number in the special. Any particular songs and/or dance numbers you would like to be used were 3PO ever given a song and dance number? Question 4: You mentioned the beer you poured for yourself was one you hadn’t tried before. I don’t recall if you commented on its quality. I'm curious, how was it? It sounded nice. Lady and the Tramp: A highlight of the film was, as you observed, the focus on animal adoption and/or rescue animals. I was wondering if there was anything more you wished to say about that? And I know you said that the topic hits close to home for you, therefore, if you aren’t comfortable discussing this any further than you already have, you don’t have to if you don’t wish to. I just would like to hear more about your opinion on this aspect of the film, if you’re comfortable sharing that, that is, if not, that’s perfectly fine.

Hello. Looking forward to your monthly chat as usual. Just a couple of questions: Classic Who: Seeds of Doom: would you say the villain of this series is one of your all-time favorite Who villains? I know you enjoyed him a lot. Any further thoughts on the awesome plant-loving antagonist? Star Wars Holiday Special: were you expecting there to be soft-core porn with Chewy's father when you agreed to watch this? Any thoughts on the level of sheer cringe throughout the special - especially that scene with Harvey Korman in seeming blackface and drag? Clone Wars: how heartbreaking that all the clones with Ahsoka's face were trying to kill her with Order 66? Any thoughts on the imagery here? Wednesday: I think Jenna Ortega's performance is perfectly subtle. What do you think of her performance? Especially the few times emotion breaks through her cold exterior. Thanks, and I hope you are well!
