Episode 5: IG-88

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.

Episode 3: Ice Cream Maker Guy (Repost)

(NOTE: This is a repost because we had an iTunes feed issue.) 

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?

Episode 4: The Podrace

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.

NEWS: Star Wars Episode 7 is called The Force Awakens!?

They don't announce a new Star Wars title every day. So when Star Wars officially announced that Episode 7 was called "The Force Awakens" we instantly got the group together to discuss it. Here's a quick mini episode of StarWTF!? where we speculate about the title and educate Alex on midichlorians.

Episode 2: Garbage Compactor 3263827

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?

Episode 1: The Bowcaster

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?
