  • Episode 25: Rancor
    It's time to talk about a beast. A massive beast that almost consumes our hero Luke Skywalker. It's the Rancor, Jabba's destructive pet that he keeps in the basement for entertainment.

    The Rancor scene is one of the most iconic scenes in Star Wars and when watching it back, it all happens so quickly. We discuss how it holds up today, as well as other Rancors throughout the Star Wars universe. There are a bunch of them and of course, they have wings and all kinds of other ridiculous things going on.


    Download Episode 25 - Rancor
    Rancors were large carnivorous reptomammals native to the planet of Dathomir. They were usually born brown, but in special circumstances, such as the mutant rancor, jungle rancor, and the bull rancor, their color may have differed.

  • Episode 24: Budallenj Prill (a/k/a The Volleyball Alien)
    In this episode we dig up one of the most bizarre Tatooine aliens... Budallenj Prill (a/k/a The Volley Ball Alien). He's another blink-and-you'll-miss-it character that fanboys didn't seem to blink or miss. His prop, which is 100% a volleyball, led to more expanded universe content than some proper characters. And when you hear what they named his volleyball beacon thing... you'll know exactly why.

  • Episode 23: The Jedi Code
    Oh the Jedi Code. You are so rigid and stiff and boring and everything that we dislike about Jedi! In this episode we rant a little about some of the big Star Wars missed opportunities and our feelings about the Jedi in the Original Trilogy and the Prequel Trilogy. We discuss our hopes about Jedi in the new trilogy. We even modify the Jedi Code and make our own!



    Download Episode 23 - The Jedi Code
    The Jedi Code was a code of conduct intended to help establish, regulate and maintain the general behavior of all Jedi. Despite undergoing, at some point during Jedi history, a subtle but substantial alteration of at least its written tenets, the code's fundamental context and meaning, invoking as it did self-discipline, tolerance, compassion, harmony and peaceful exploration, remained unchanged.

  • Episode 22: Ithorians
    Don't call them Hammerheads! They are Ithorians. Everyone's favorite Cantina-dwelling, sometimes force-sensative dual-mouthed, awesome looking aliens. We discuss the benefits and detriments to the species, as well as their fate in the ever-expanded Star Wars universe.


    Download Episode 22 - Ithorians
    Ithorians were a mammalian herbivorous sentient species from the planet Ithor. They were commonly called "Hammerheads" by less sensitive beings because of their long, curving neck and T-shaped head. They found this nickname offensive.

  • Episode 21: Cloud Car
    Cloud Cars are so silly, but at the same time they are so cool! That's what makes this discussion so interesting. We love the Cloud Car but we just don't get it. Why are there two separate pods? In this episode we explain what they both do and how we would improve the current design.




    Download Episode 21 - Cloud Car
    Cloud cars were small, atmospheric craft used for various purposes. Manufacturers of cloud cars included Bespin Motors, Ubrikkian Yards, and Bakur RepulsorCorp. They were a common sight in Cloud City on Bespin.




    The real deal when it comes to Cloud Cars.

  • Episode 20: Dex's Diner
    In this episode we dive into the biggest dive in Coruscant. It's Dex's Diner! A 50's style diner just thrown right in the middle of a Star Wars film. If you think that is shocking, you should see the menu! We talk about the many possibilities and some actual items on the menu... including PROTATO WEDGES.

    This episode is one of our greatest yet. Enjoy!



    Download Episode 20 - Dex's Diner
    Dex's Diner, originally Didi and Astri's Café or just Didi's Café, was a diner located in CoCo Town, Coruscant and was run by Dexter Jettster.

  • Episode 19: Gaffi Stick a/k/a Gaderffii
    Today we dive into another one of the wonderful weapons of the Star Wars universe. We've talked about the Bowcaster, the Light Whip, so naturally it's time to discuss the multi-purpose Gaffi Stick! But what are the purposes? We never see the full potential when the Tusken Raiders attack Luke Skywalker in A New Hope. Also.... WTF is a GADERFFII!?

    There's a lot to learn in this episode, and weapons are quickly becoming my favorite category for discussion.



    Download Episode 19 - Gaffi Stick a/k/a Gaderffii
    The gaderffii, or gaffi stick, was the traditional melee weapon of the Tusken Raiders of Tatooine. It was a pole weapon with a spike or blade on one end and some kind of bludgeoning instrument on the other.

    Note: the technical terms above: "some kind of bludgeoning instrument".




    See you next week!

  • Episode 18: Ewok Village
    In Episode #18 we talk about one of the greatest toys of all time... as well as a prominent location in Return of the Jedi. It's the Ewok Village, also known as Bright Tree Village! We nerd out a little about the toys as well as the various Ewoks, which brings up a great question. How many Ewoks can you name?

    Onto the episode!




    Download Episode 18 - Ewok Village
    Bright Tree Village was the name of an Ewok tree village on the Forest Moon of Endor. It was home to the Ewok tribe that helped the Alliance to Restore the Republic defeat the Galactic Empire at the Battle of Endor.



    And here's a peek at the Bri'ahlian creature from our game show segment. It's terrible! Even the phot is names "weirdgreenthing.jpg"

  • Special Episode: Marvel Star Wars #2
    It's February... and you know what that means? Marvel Star Wars is back with a new issue! This snuck out without the fanfare of the first issue, but it holds up very well. The story is action packed and while there aren't as many secret reveals as the first issue, there are some things that are definitely worth noting as we get closer and closer to The Force Awakens.

    Download Special Episode: Marvel Star Wars #2


    We also noticed that we didn't mention the cover during the episode, but it's interesting. It's a lot jokier in tone than the issue (although there are a few jokes), but the big difference is that Chewbacca is MIA in this issue! By the looks of it, him and Han would be getting into some adventures, but Chewie does not make an appearance. Where is he? Hopefully we find out in issue 3.

  • Episode 17: Grand Moff Tarkin
    Today we discuss and tribute one of the coolest, and evilest characters in the Star Wars saga, Grand Moff Tarkin... WHO HAS A FIRST NAME NOW!?!? Did you know he is called Wilhuff? This is just bonkers. Are you going to next tell me that Palpatine has a first name, and it's Sheev? :)

    We love Tarkin here and we talk for quite a bit about him, his cheekbones, and his quotable lines.



    Download Episode 17 - Grand Moff Tarkin
    Wilhuff Tarkin was a Human male who was one of the most powerful individuals in the Galactic Empire, a Grand Moff who shaped Imperial doctrine and was the driving force behind the creation of its key embodiment, the Death Star.



    Young Tarkin. Serious Cheekbones.
    Thanks!!
