Episode 55: Teebo

Swinging out of the jungle, we return again for Star WTF season 2. This week, we look at Wicket’s best friend and terrifying monster, Teebo the Ewok. You may remember him as the scary Ewok or maybe as the one that blew the sacred horn of the soul trees. We talk about Teebo’s connection with the force, his skinned animal hat, his creepy scary face, and just how awful the Ewoks cartoon is.

Teebo was an Ewok that was present during the Battle of Endor. One of Chief Chirpa's best hunters alongside Asha Fahn, they supported Chirpa's decision to help the Rebels take out the Imperial shield generator, vetoing Logray's choice to stay out of it. That night, he would write a message to be sent out to neighboring Ewok tribes to call them all to action against the Empire, that in the original Ewokese even Logray found beautiful.

Episode 54: Moroff

In 2015 Star Wars came back in full force with The Force Awakens. Then came Rogue One, and The Last Jedi. During all of this time, StarWTF!? was completely silent. We had 54 episodes in a row and then as soon as Star Wars was back, we just zipped our lips and stopped the presses. You would think it would be the other way around, right?

Well, it's time to announce season two of StarWTF!?

Starting with today's episode, Moroff, and then continuing with such legends as Bidlo Kwerve and RX-24, we plan to bring out 10 episodes with no interruption. (Unless a new Star Wars film comes out and breaks us again... We're looking at you Solo!).

And now, onto Moroff, the big white Gigoran a/k/a a snow Wookiee meets Wampa meets Plo Koon meets every cool character that we barely get to see. He's very much unused in Rogue One, but a killer design and worth the discussion.

We answer the question who would win in a fight, a Gigoran or a Wookiee? Knowing that Gigoran are gentle giants, and Wookiee's can rip the arms off a Crolite (in a deleted scene, at least), it may not be who you think.

Moroff was a male Gigoran mercenary who was active during the Age of the Empire. During that time, Moroff sought out combat zones to sell his brawn and firepower to anyone who required it.
