KatieHOST
So I just don't think Yoda picks him up.
ClayHOST
very true um john m did sneak one in here um he said what if millennia what if the millennium falcon had gotten to cloud city before vader so the whole point of that entire scene is that lando does tell han hey i'm sorry he got here just you know just a few seconds before you did blah blah do you think i don't know i don't know if lando again lando does redeem himself but i still think he's scummy enough and a little you know hurt still about the whole sabacc millennium falcon thing to tell han hey get the hell out of here you know type of ordeal
KatieHOST
Yeah, I'm kind of in the same boat.
KatieHOST
I do think, like, maybe Han and Leia and Chewie and the droids would have, like, said, like, oh, like, a Star Destroyer's here.
speaker_1HOST
That's putting it mildly.
LernerHOST
He was completely outmaneuvered by Zorba the Hutt, and Zorba didn't just reclaim Cloud City from Lando Calrissian.
speaker_1HOST
Which was bad enough for them.
LernerHOST
Right.
7 MINS LATER
LernerHOST
We see this clearly with Grand Moff Hesa.
speaker_1HOST
Right.
speaker_1HOST
Hesa realizes Zorba the Hutt has left Cloud City to pursue this bizarre capitalistic venture.
speaker_1HOST
Zorba actually wants to turn Jabba's old Tatooine Palace into a for-profit penal colony.
Artificial DragonHOST
Yep.
Artificial DragonHOST
This draft also contained, interestingly enough, contained a scene where Lando, in the midst of rescuing Leia and Chewie, had to deal with an out-of-control elevator on Cloud City.
Artificial DragonHOST
The scene, if it sounds familiar at all, the scene was ultimately cut, but Lucas later reused it in Revenge of a Sith.
SeleneHOST
Yes, he did.
SeleneHOST
It
Artificial DragonHOST
is.
Artificial DragonHOST
And according to an article called Escape from Cloud City, Lando was created by Lucas to essentially be an alternate version of Han Solo had he never joined the Rebellion.
SeleneHOST
I can see that.
ClayHOST
Um, John M. did sneak one in here.
ClayHOST
Um, he said, "What if Millennium- what if the Millennium Falcon had gotten to Cloud City before Vader?" So the whole point of that entire scene-
KatieHOST
Uh-huh
ClayHOST
... is that Lando does tell Han, "Hey, I'm sorry, he got here just, you know, just a few seconds before you did," blah, blah, blah.
Dave KellettHOST
Yoda's saying, you know, no truth you must find or something.
Dave KellettHOST
And then you immediately smash cut to the Cloud City.
Dave KellettHOST
And now it's Darth Vader facing down Han Solo and Princess Leia.
Dave KellettHOST
Right? Yeah.
EmHOST
Luke Skywalker receives a message from a familiar face telling him to find Jedi Master Yoda in the Dagobah system, prompting him to seek further guidance in understanding his connection to the Force.
EmHOST
Evacuated from Hoth after the Empire finds their base, Han Solo and Princess Leia find sanctuary at Cloud City, but Han's old friend Lando Calrissian betrays them and gives them up to the Empire.
EmHOST
Luke forgoes finishing his training with Yoda to save his friends, only to realize it's a trap.
EmHOST
Let's run through the cast.
47 MINS LATER
EmHOST
But they include a close-up shot of the Wampa that captures Luke, inserting Ian McDiarmid as the Emperor, as I previously mentioned, and changing the dialogue, making it seem like Darth Vader doesn't know Luke's paternity, despite knowing he has the surname Skywalker.
EmHOST
In the shot where the Millennium Falcon detaches from the Star Destroyer, Boba Fett's ship, the Slave I, was replaced with a CGI version following the Falcon more closely.
EmHOST
New establishing shots were added to Cloud City, as well as new buildings and shots of citizens reacting to Lando's evacuation order.
EmHOST
Lucas also added three exterior shots to the denouement to clarify that Lando and Chewbacca are on the Millennium Falcon, not the rebel frigate that Luke, Leia, and the droids are on.
TedHOST
I don't think we would.
TedHOST
I think we would end season one with him purchasing Cloud City.
TedHOST
Okay.
TedHOST
Oh,
Chris the BrainHOST
Lobot involved as well.
Chris the BrainHOST
Because based on that comic which I gifted you where Lobot went mad and took over Cloud City even though it was empty.
Chris the BrainHOST
I don't fucking remember.
Chris the BrainHOST
God bless it.
HaileyGUEST
Hmm, I'm really bad at these cities.
BrittanyHOST
It's Cloud City.
BrittanyHOST
So I got that one, guys.
BrittanyHOST
Cloud City.
BrittanyHOST
[laughs] All right, question seven: What is the name of the little green Jedi Master? [instrumental music]
HaileyGUEST
Yoda?
AlexHOST
You know what, though?
JimHOST
Cloud City.
JimHOST
Ooh, yeah.
JimHOST
I feel like they've got some clubs that are bussing.
