Episode 1: The Bowcaster

from Star WTF!? Hosted by Jason Tagmire

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? Download Episode 1 - The Bowcaster Bonus: Stick around until the end for the StarWTF?! Game Show with our special guests Fodesinbeed Annodue and Rush Clovis, who try to determine the definition of the random Star Wars Wookieepedia article of the week. Thanks everyone!
