Topics: the appreciation for cinematography that Luke has gained, the strategy behind the design for the aliens and their ships, how this movie differs from Sci-Fi standard fare, being a rebel by loving a thing, the potential Hollywood-ification of the plot, the Kuleshov Effect, the meaning behind calling the aliens "Abbott and Costello," and whether or not the explosive plot-twist works for the film or detracts from the movie's overall message.
