Did you know that Tatooine was NEVER even mentioned in the first Star Wars movie? Neither did we...In this episode we, but mainly Bec, discuss the origin to the name of one of the most ICONIC planets in the Star Wars Universe.

We love a Star Wars sound effect here at Podlings so we decided to talk about our top five favorite sound effects and of course we have some honorable mentions. We are infinitely impressed by the sound designers that have worked on any aspect of the Star Wars Universe.

So basically, we had a theory (mainly PB) that Grogu was gonna leave skyboi... which happened... and then he would meet up with his daddio Mando... which happened... and then he would get the dark saber and ultimately avoid Kylo Ren's angsty destruction of Luke's Jedi academy... which has not happened yet... BUT, then they'll make a show featuring Baby Yoda called "The way, this is" set after Mando and the sequels. Sorry not sorry, enjoy this episode about how much we love Grogu!

The design of the ships on Naboo were introduced AFTER the original trilogy established some super iconic ships like the X-Wing and Tiefighter. However, in stark contrast to the sharp angular design of those ships came some really cool smooth and clean designs on the planet of Naboo. In today's episode talk about the beautiful design of the crafts of Naboo and how underrated they are.

We wanted to know more about how Darth Maul's character design changes from when we see him in Phantom Menace to when we see him in Clone Wars, and we found a designing afterthought in the process. Komari Vosa and Darth Maul's characters are intrinsically intertwined and we love it.

For this episode we talk about the layout of the galaxy far far away and go over some fun facts during our research on the galaxy map.

How did we even get by without seeing the galaxy map visualized and knowing it's history...

The Book of Boba Fett has wrapped up with its finale and we're here to talk about our thoughts and theories.

Plo Koon is not in the films much, but he pops up in the animated series A LOT. He's an interesting character with an interesting design...and we talk about it. Enjoy the episode!

For this episode we have a more personal conversation about some unlikely characters that we loved. We love that everyone has such different experiences with Star Wars and more specifically some characters that don't have leading roles. 

It has been a few weeks since we talked about Ben Burtt and his hand in the sound design in Star Wars. It's time we go over the sound design for the blasters and how this designer accidentily discovered the noise we know and love today. Pew Pew.
