Star WTF!?

In this episode, we discuss the coolest looking vehicle in the Star Wars universe. And we get right down to business with the AT-AT vs. A Tee A Tee debate. How do YOU pronounce AT-AT? Then we discuss the practicality of the design. What is inside of this beast of a vehicle??

Since we recorded the episode, we've caused quite a stir online asking people the important question on the pronunciation.

Reddit got pretty crazy. :)

Twitter too.

Here's the official Lucas response:

There was a Kenner commercial that said "at at" about 7,000 times in 30 seconds.

Lego continued the tradition: 

Then decided to change their mind:

But most importantly we have this:

And there it is! The word from Joe Johnston, Art Director on Empire Strikes Back and DESIGNER OF THE AT-AT. "Imperial Snowalker" has a nice ring to it...

The Force Awakens trailer is here! We've watched it a few dozen times and are ready to discuss it in a special edition of StarWTF!? This one is a little more speculation than education as we know as much as you do. We just may have watched it a few more times.

Note: We discuss a few character /casting rumors that are going around so there may be a few small spoilers in here.

Stick around until the end for Alex Strang's shot by shot trailer commentary. It's a doozy.

And some YouTube videos for those who haven't seen them.  Here's the trailer.

And as promised... the Lego version of the trailer.

We get to the bottom of the most famous drink in all of the Star Wars universe... blue milk! We figure out where it comes from and desperately try to figure out why.  

We also talk about how much of this Luke actually drinks and whether or not it has medicinal effects. It's all crazy, as you would expect.

Luke pours his 5th glass of blue milk.

In this episode, we discuss the ever-stable & always awesome bounty hunter IG-88. It's an assassin droid with seconds of screen time, but pages and pages of Expanded Universe backstory. And that story is intense.  

We also learn what "IG" stands for (it's not exciting at all) and how creative they were in naming all 4 IG's as well as IG-88's aptly named ship, the IG-2000. It's a longer episode than normal, but well worth the length.

And while we're at it, let's take a quick look at the many toy variations of IG-88.

In this episode, we try to figure out the story on Ice Cream Maker Guy a/k/a Willrow Hood. You know.. that guy that runs by in Cloud City carrying an ice cream maker? He has two seconds of screen time and 12 paragraphs of backstory!

This is definitely digging deep into Star Wars fandom, but you would be surpassed. THEY MADE AN ACTION FIGURE OF THIS GUY!

We have so many questions. Who is Willrow Hood? What is he carrying? Did he survive?

In this episode, we discuss everyone's favorite scene from everyone's favorite movie. It's the Boonta Eve Classic, otherwise known as the Podrace from Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. 

We learn all about the aliens. Did you know that some of them finished the race? We thought they all died! And how about Ben Quadinaros? What's his deal? There's quite a bit going on in this 4 hour long scene and it led to our longest episode yet, clocking in at a whopping 39 minutes.

The original Lego Podrace set! Look how far we've come.

In this episode, we discuss Garbage Compactor 3263827. This isn't just ANY garbage compactor. It's the famous Death Star garbage compactor as seen in A New Hope!

There's a lot going on down in Garbage Compactor 3263827, and we're going to get to the bottom of it. (GROSS!)

How did the Dianoga get down there? Why did it start to close? What is a magnetic seal and how does it effect lasers?

Does anyone smell Dianoga pie?

In our very first episode of StarWTF!?, we discuss a prominent weapon... one that you see around quite a bit, but one that gets very little action. It's The Bowcaster!

This is Chewbacca's main sidepiece. And it looks pretty awesome. But what do you actually know about the Bowcaster? Have you seen it fired? Have you used it in a video game or RPG? Are they unique to Wookiees? There is so much to know about this mysterious weapon, and we may or may not be of assistance.

How does this thing work?
