—At one point the heroes have to track down a "master of codes," but he's not played by Gregg Turkington, and that was disappointing to me.

—I realize how deeply ironic and ultimately empty it is to take solace in a flicker of anti-capitalist sentiment from a Disney movie, but I still really appreciate the unexpectedly class-conscious revision of A New Hope's "wretched hive of scum and villainy" moment.
