POST-RELEASE NOTES:
• When discussing The Four Noble Truths, I said that Buddhists have "studied" The Middle Path for centuries. A more apt word would have been "practiced."
• The shot of Luke staring out to sea after his rescue from Cloud City is inaccurately attributed to The Last Jedi. It is from The Force Awakens.
• David Fuchs name appears twice in the credits by mistake. The second should have gone to Zach Rosenlund for the music.
