Episode 41: Zabrak

Today we talk about a species that is pretty much Mike Tyson with horns. That's a little bit of a stretch, but on the surface Zabrak's are just humans with some horns and face tattoos. But is there more deep down? Are these an interesting species?

We take a look at it and find out a few interesting things about what makes them tick, where they came from and what happens when they breed with other species.

The Zabrak, also known as Iridonians when referring to the Zabrak who came from Iridonia, were a carnivorous Near-Human species native to Iridonia, a planet located in the Mid Rim known for its inhospitable terrain and fierce predatory life. They were a species known for having a fierce sense of self-determination and an equally dominant need for independence.

Episode 40: 2-1B

This week, we get all medical as we talk about the 2-1B surgical droid, also known as 2-1B (we know it's weird, and discuss exactly that!). 2-1B is the droid that you see in Empire fixing Luke's hand and tending to him in his Bacta Tank. He's blue-ish grey, has a massive ego and a gentle touch.

Sit back and enjoy the episode about yet another droid that probably can't even move.

2-1B (or Too-Onebee) was a 2-1B surgical droid that joined the Alliance to Restore the Republic as a medic. The droid was highly sophisticated, belonging to the older, yet remarkably astute 2-1B series. Because of his intellect, Too-Onebee was fiercely independent and morality-driven. His gentle touch can be attributed to his precise hydraulic systems, which utilized several liquids at different temperatures.

Episode 39: Mount Sorrow

Wow. Just wow.

That might be enough to say about Mount Sorrow. But no, we recorded a full episode about it. How else are we going to speculate on whether or not a talking sentient mountain will appear in Episode 7? (Hint... it won't.)

But yes, Mount Sorrow is actually a thing, and by many opinions, it's one of the worst Star Wars things that has ever existed. So, of course we will be talking about it.

Mount Sorrow was a mountain on the Forest Moon of Endor. The tip of the mountain was in fact sentient, and had the power to both blow people off the summit, or cry tears of healing. Sorrow was a figure of legend in Ewok lore, albeit an obscure one, known only to the shamans and witch doctors of Endor. Sometime during the Imperial era, Mount Sorrow was able to cure budding poet Teebo of the perilous laughing spell, inherited from a loonee bird in the Endor woods.

Episode 38: Vibroblade

It's time to discuss a weapon! Previously we've discussed Chewbacca's Bowcaster, the Lightwhip, the Gaffi Stick, and the Double-Bladed Lightsaber. So what's next?

Naturally, it's the Vibroblade!

While you may or may not know about the Vibroblade, it fills an integral role in the galaxy. They are vibrating swords, essentially, and some are able to hold their own against a lightsaber. Well, only if they are filled with cortosis-weave. DUH.

Vibroblades were a type of bladed melee vibroweapon that used ultrasonic vibrations to increase cutting effectiveness.

Episode 37: Kal'Falnl C'ndros

This week we take WTF to a whole new level. This character has less screen time than just about anyone else, considering you only see her legs. It's Mos Eisley's huge bird creature Kal'Falnl C'ndros!

WHO?

It's just as ridiculous as you would imagine.

Kal'Falnl C'ndros (sometimes known as Kal Fal) was a female Quor'sav trader.

This frame is essentially everything you see in A New Hope.

Possibly a Quor'sav from the Star Wars Holiday Special.
