Darth Amin and Darth Cornpuzzle go there and back again with the season finale of Ahsoka, leaving with perhaps even more questions than they had entering it.

We also run through a list of names for a potential Baylan Skoll replacement, to determine our ultimate dream casting for the role.

That guy from Parks & Rec, The Afterparty, and Sonic the Hedgehog has a side-hustle superpower: playing point guard at long-form improvisation.

There's got to be an easier way to get a new iPhone and an expensive meal in Vegas than being teammates with Russell Westbrook on the Clippers, right? RIGHT?! Amin and Charlotte take a look at an astonishingly healthy Clippers team going into training camp - can this be the year that Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and Russell Westbrook all stay healthy and have a real run? Also, does LeBron really think Anthony Davis is the face of the Lakers and who will the Celtics miss the most this season even with Jrue Holiday bringing his veteran, Championship presence? You can count on Word Count to decide! Also, don't let Charlotte and Amin know we aired the stuff at the end of the episode, cool? Promise you won't watch on YouTube and tell them about it, okay? Thanks!
