Spoilers are more prevalent than ever with the internet. Even back in the original trilogy spoilers were a massive issue. In this episode we talk about the creative ways the team behind the movies and shows avoided leaks.

Through our journey to loving Jabba's character we have come across how his puppet was designed for the Original Trilogy and we are impressed.

Sorgan is a peaceful planet we see very little of in Mandalorian. However, it holds are stark contrast of peace and conflict in the time of post-empire.

Part 2 of all the lines that are repeated in the Star Wars universe. Part 1 just covered the line "I've got a bad feeling about this" and there's quite a few times this is said. In this episode we cover the other lines that repeat.
