[@nathanlamberth7631]

Force ghost (my understanding) is that force ghosts continue to live as a part of the force. It is not a Jedi unique technique as it was “discovered” by a Jedi but not invented by one. Also since the force is the “living” force I would assume that if nothing was left alive then the force would fade away, ghosts included.

[@PTNLemay]

I quite liked the point of inaccessibility. It reminded me of those Pokemon Go rumors where there were some that only appeared in impossibly difficult to reach locations. I don't even think there were such rare Pokemon spawn points. But the myth of them was fun to think about. I also disagree with the uselessness of the Everest measurement. Yes it is perhaps redundant because of natural fluctuations in the height. But by making lots of measurements and finding out by how much it changes, we can extract real science from that.

[@regirayquaza]

What can we extract by knowing it's a few cm shorter than we thought?

[@PTNLemay]

@@regirayquaza More precise measurements of how it's changing over time, which could help us understand the way plate techtonics move. I mean, on it's own it's probably not much use, but as a data-point in a broader sample size it can be very useful. It's a bit like the mirrors we left on the moon, by making several measurements with them we've been able to determine that the moon is very slowly moving away from us. That, in turn, helps us to model all sorts of things, like how the moon and the Earth first formed.

Brady, thinking of what you asked about how people lived in antiquity, I suggest you check out something called the Heqanakht Papyrus, it's a note sent home by a Middle Kingdom Egyptian priest to his family. The translation feels strangely modern, since it's just him whining about the food they sent him and asking his mother to stop bothering his wife.

I have a Edison Standard Phonograph model D, but it's not working, needs a new belt, and the spring is broken, and the horn is missing. I know I can fix it but I didn't want to spent the money for the parts. You can buy a working one for $500; they are not rare, nor highly sought after. I got it when we cleared out my Great Grandmother's house, it was her father's. We also have a several old hand crank plate record players that do still work. My Great Great Grandfather loved music.

[@josephbush5832]

Brady, I'm interested in early people in just about exactly the same way. I think our analysis of earlier culture puts too much emphasis on 'particular things we can say for sure' (as it sort of has to). For instance we assume the Ancient Egyptians or Sumerians were obsessed with death because our most concrete evidence comes from tombs. But I bet that the daily life of the average Egyptian was much more nuanced and similar to ours. I am endlessly frustrated that we will never know for sure just what their lives were like because we will always overestimate the importance of the few things we do know, and try and apply these things to the lives early people lived. An interesting thing you can look into is the history of ancient games, as this somewhat underestimated anthropological practice is one of the few that I think tries to make a study on 'how people actually were' through analysis of the games they played.

[@andre3328]

Don't know if this has been said, but regarding force ghosts- in the _Clone Wars_ series arond season 3 there were a couple of episodes that dove deeper into force lore, from George Lucas. In the behind the scenes of that episode I believe they mentioned they originally wanted a force ghost of an old sith (Revan) to appear- however, they ultimately decided that it didn't make sense for the dark side to be able to do that. When a Jedi (or any living being) dies, they become a part of the force- the Jedi ghosts have learned to retain their personalities after that happens. Sith and the dark side philosophy aren't particularly interested in harmony or becoming a part of anything, so force ghosts are beyond their abilities. There might have been sith ghosts in earlier media, but even before Disney reset the canon the tier system would have made this explanation take precedence. Hopefully they don't change such a major fact of the Star Wars galaxy just to rake in some cash...

Grey and Brady's feeling on the sequel trilogy are spot on.

I don't want to be critical but here I am being critical. To me it seemed like half of this 1:23:57 episode, or more accurately the podcast episode at 1:24:31 was dedicated to advertising. Even when you weren't advertising you were still talking about advertising. The only thing I can really remember from this #122 podcast is you guys sitting in a pub more or less complaining about autographing merchandise (dino attack cards). This seems like the point when people start "mailing it in" with their work. Zero effort and resting on laurels.
