Ducks! They first appeared (twice) in the original novelization of Star Wars and have been floating around ever since … but why are there ducks in the galaxy far far away? And what about horses? Or ravens? Or rats?

Listen as we explore the possible reason behind there being so many “earth animals” in Star Wars and the true behind the scenes historic role animals have played in the saga.

So get those raccoons out of the bathtub, celebrate the love and listen today!
