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...

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…

Episode 53: Lumpy (The 2015 StarWTF!? Holiday Special)
While The rest of the country celebrates the new Star Wars film, we here at StarWTF!? know that's there's something more important about this time of year. That's right, it's time to cuddle up by the fire and remember that the Star Wars Holiday Special exists. And boy, do we have a big one this...
-
Episode 52: PZ-4CO (and The Force Awakens)
We decided to do a very speculative episode on a Force Awakens character that we really know nothing about. Based off of an action figure, we chose PZ-4CO, a Resistance Base Control Room Droid, who is as blue as it gets and has a very cool, yet kind of funky-looking action figure. The first half…

Episode 51: Battle Droid
Yet again we peer into the deep depths of stupidity that is the Phantom Menace and bring out one of the first things we see on screen. It's the Battle Droid! Those ineffectual robots that we see get taken down by the thousands through out the prequel trilogy and Clone Wars TV show. Listen as we...
-
Episode 50: Midichlorians
No one said we could do it, but we finally did it! We finally got around to talking about Midicholrians! And it also happens to be our Fiftieth episode! For our first big milestone in podcasting, we sit down and look at one of the most controversial things in the Star Wars history. If you managed...
-
Episode 49: Qabbrat
Ah! It's good to be out of a prequel or a expanded universe character and back on to the classics! Today, we talk about the Qabbrat! The good old classic Qabbrat! What? Don't know what that is? Well, you certainly remember it quite well! It's Darth Vader's Meditation chamber from The Empire…
more -
Episode 48: Gragra
We apologize for once again bringing up the Phantom Menace yet again, but we’ve managed to dig something quite interesting out of the bowels of it’s infinite oddities. It’s Gragra, the Mos Espa gorgmonger who yells at Jar Jar to stop eating her weird lizard things on strings. While seemingly an...
-
Episode 47: Jaxxon
He’s green, he’s furry, and he’s got a whole lot of attitude! He’s Jaxxon! If you don’t quite remember that name then you may remember him as the Green Anthropomorphic bunny wearing a spacesuit that you read about once in a list of the worst Star Wars expanded universe characters. We take a look…
more -
Episode 46: B'omarr Monks
Wow. B'omarr Monks really surprised me. There is so much more to them than those creepy spider droids with jarred brains. The spider droid ISN'T REALLY EVEN the B'omarr Monk! This episode was a lesson learned in weird Star Wars information. Download Episode 46 - B'omarr Monks' The B'omarr are the...
-
Episode 45: Bothans
So WTF is a Bothan and how many of them died to bring us the plans for the second death star.? Did you know they were furry dog/horse/cat like people? There’s a lot of non-canon information about Bothans, so we’re getting right down to it. Download Episode 45 - Bothans Bothans (pronounced…
more -
Episode 44: Shmi Skywalker Lars
It's time to talk about the mother of all villains, Shmi Skywalker. You may not realize this, but she was a character in The Phantom Menace and also seen in Attack of the Clones. We discuss her optimistic beginnings down to her optimistic ending, and how it triggered the demise of Anakin…
more -
Episode 43: Mandalorian Armor
Today we discuss Mandalorian Armor. It's more than just the Fett family's choice of clothing. It goes WAY BACK. More than 4000 years back. We look at the changes that were made over the years, improvements (such as protection from rapid beheadings), and the reason for choosing specific colored...
-
Episode 42: Kessel Run
This week we discuss the most debated Star Wars goof... the Kessel Run. What is it? And did Han Solo defy time and space in his travels? Or was he just a big old liar? In trying to get to the bottom of it all, we also learn about the boogie boogie looking-dark side entity, Abeloth, a small planet...
-
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…
more -
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.…
more -
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…
more -
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...
-
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. Download Episode 37 - Kal'Falnl C'ndros...
-
Episode 36: Speeder Bike
We are back with a vehicle! And not a starship or walker or anything like that. It's the Speeder Bike! Only one of the coolest vehicles in the galaxy. We look at WHY the speeder bike is so cool and discuss the TWO Return of the Jedi scenes as well as the Revenge of the Sith scene (who knew there...
-
Episode 35: Count Dooku
In a very sad WTF!? moment last week, we found out that Sir Christopher Lee passed away at the age of 93. While he was known for many, many films, we wanted to get together and reminisce about his days as Dooku, the poorly-named Dark Lord of the Sith. We take a look into his battle scenes, the…
more -
Episode 34: Death Sticks
This episode has been a long time coming. Today we discuss Death Sticks, you know the illegal substances that Elan Sleazebaggano tries to sell to Obi Wan in Attack of the Clones? It's only one of the weirdest scenes in the prequel trilogy. We research Death Sticks to see what they're all about…
more -
Episode 33: Dengar
Oh Dengar... You are such an odd man. What's with the toilet paper? And you look like you've put on some weight. Yes, today we talk about one of the stranger Bounty Hunters in the Star Wars universe, Dengar. He's briefly seen in The Empire Strikes Back, and we've recently learned (DURING THE...
-
Episode 32: Sandcrawler
We're on a roll with oversized things in the Star Wars universe. You might say it's a slow roll. About as slow as the SANDCRAWLER crawling through the Tatooine desert. Yes, today we discuss the mother of all land-based Star Wars vehicles.... the Sandcrawler! And probably more specifically, the...
-
Episode 31: Space Slug
You know exactly who we are talking about in this episode. No it's not Jabba the Hutt.... it's the nearly asteroid sized creature that almost cuts the Empire Strikes Back short by a good hour. It's the Space Slug, also known as Exogorth... and it is massive. So massive that the Millennium Falcon...
-
Episode 30: Double-Bladed Lightsaber
In this episode Mike Matecha joins us again as we look at the Double-Bladed Lightsaber, as made popular by Darth Maul. We look at it's practicality, and discuss other Double-Bladed Lightsabers in the Star Wars Universe. We also discuss the color red and why it is always evil (THERE IS ACTUALLY A...
-
Episode 29: Krayt Dragon
Today's episode is the Krayt Dragon, our first podcast subject that only appears on screen after it has already died. (I think, you can feel free to call me out on that.) The Krayt Dragon is seen as a skeleton in C3P0 and R2D2's first Tatooine scenes in A New Hope. But OF COURSE there is more to...
-
Episode 28: Bren Derlin
Cheers everybody! Today's episode is Major Bren Derlin, or as you may know him, the jerk that had to lock Luke and Han out of the Hoth base when he closed the doors for the night. But he was concerned about Princess Leia and the rest of the rebels safety, so he can't be that much of a jerk. The...
-
Episode 27: Life Debt
When I say Life Debt, you instantly think of Wookiees, right? Well there's another Life Debt in the Star Wars universe that we all seem to have forgotten... JAR JAR! In this episode we discuss all kinds of Life Debts in Star Wars and even throughout general television and film. We discuss why...
-
Episode 26: Malakili
Last week we discussed the Rancor, so naturally we needed to follow up with Malakili. You may know him as the big shirtless guy that cries after the Rancor's death in Return of the Jedi. But there is so much more to him than that! We get down to the facts. What happened after the Rancor died?…
more -
Episode 25: Rancor
It's time to talk about a beast. A massive beast that almost consumes our hero Luke Skywalker. It's the Rancor, Jabba's destructive pet that he keeps in the basement for entertainment. The Rancor scene is one of the most iconic scenes in Star Wars and when watching it back, it all happens so...
-
Episode 24: Budallenj Prill (a/k/a The Volleyball Alien)
In this episode we dig up one of the most bizarre Tatooine aliens... Budallenj Prill (a/k/a The Volley Ball Alien). He's another blink-and-you'll-miss-it character that fanboys didn't seem to blink or miss. His prop, which is 100% a volleyball, led to more expanded universe content than some…
more -
Episode 23: The Jedi Code
Oh the Jedi Code. You are so rigid and stiff and boring and everything that we dislike about Jedi! In this episode we rant a little about some of the big Star Wars missed opportunities and our feelings about the Jedi in the Original Trilogy and the Prequel Trilogy. We discuss our hopes about Jedi...
-
Episode 22: Ithorians
Don't call them Hammerheads! They are Ithorians. Everyone's favorite Cantina-dwelling, sometimes force-sensative dual-mouthed, awesome looking aliens. We discuss the benefits and detriments to the species, as well as their fate in the ever-expanded Star Wars universe. Download Episode 22 -...
-
Episode 21: Cloud Car
Cloud Cars are so silly, but at the same time they are so cool! That's what makes this discussion so interesting. We love the Cloud Car but we just don't get it. Why are there two separate pods? In this episode we explain what they both do and how we would improve the current design. Download...
-
Episode 20: Dex's Diner
In this episode we dive into the biggest dive in Coruscant. It's Dex's Diner! A 50's style diner just thrown right in the middle of a Star Wars film. If you think that is shocking, you should see the menu! We talk about the many possibilities and some actual items on the menu... including PROTATO...
-
Episode 19: Gaffi Stick a/k/a Gaderffii
Today we dive into another one of the wonderful weapons of the Star Wars universe. We've talked about the Bowcaster, the Light Whip, so naturally it's time to discuss the multi-purpose Gaffi Stick! But what are the purposes? We never see the full potential when the Tusken Raiders attack Luke...
-
Episode 18: Ewok Village
In Episode #18 we talk about one of the greatest toys of all time... as well as a prominent location in Return of the Jedi. It's the Ewok Village, also known as Bright Tree Village! We nerd out a little about the toys as well as the various Ewoks, which brings up a great question. How many Ewoks...
-
Special Episode: Marvel Star Wars #2
It's February... and you know what that means? Marvel Star Wars is back with a new issue! This snuck out without the fanfare of the first issue, but it holds up very well. The story is action packed and while there aren't as many secret reveals as the first issue, there are some things that are...
-
Episode 17: Grand Moff Tarkin
Today we discuss and tribute one of the coolest, and evilest characters in the Star Wars saga, Grand Moff Tarkin... WHO HAS A FIRST NAME NOW!?!? Did you know he is called Wilhuff? This is just bonkers. Are you going to next tell me that Palpatine has a first name, and it's Sheev? :) We love…

Episode 16: GNK Power Droid a/k/a Gonk
This one was a lot of fun. We discuss the walking trashcan that is known as Gonk! Along with special guest George Tagmire we speculate on the what, why, and even who... who played Gonk? We hope you have as much fun listening as we had discussing little old Gonk. Download Episode 16 - GNK Power...

Episode 15: Moisture Farming
The episode you have been waiting your entire life for... it's MOISTURE FARMING! Probably the most boring aspect of the Star Wars universe, yet we keep it moving right along at a brisk and swift pace. What is Moisture Farming? How do you do it? What do you do with the moisture? Why is Uncle Owen…

Special Episode: Marvel Star Wars #1
We got together for a quick discussion about Marvel's return the Star Wars comics! The issue has been out for a week and has made quite an impact on both fans and sales numbers. This is probably due to its 75 DIFFERENT COVERS. The new story takes place between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes…
more -
Episode 14: Sifo Dyas
Who is Sifo Dyas!? I have been asking myself this question since the opening day of Attack of the Clones and I barely have more of an answer today. Now, after recording this episode, I feel a wee bit better about it. So... will we just add to the Star Wars confusion? Or do we have something smart...
-
Episode 13: R5-D4
Today we are discussing Luke's original choice of astromech droids... R5-D4! If it didn't have a bad motivator, Leia's message may have never been delivered and the entire original trilogy may not have even happened. Thank the maker for bad motivators. There's a lot to discuss here because there…
more -
Episode 12: The Max Rebo Band
It's the Max Rebo Band! Everyone's favorite blue-skinned Ortolan jizz-wailer (WTF!?). We discuss all 12 members of the band, plus the one that was assassinated by Figrin D'an! There is so much to talk about here, so let's jump right into it. This is one of the best episodes so far, and if you are…
more -
Episode 11: Kamino
Today we discuss our first planet. And whichever one you were thinking of is wrong because we are talking about Kamino! Yes, the wet planet that's all about cloning. Home of Lamu Su, Taun We and the rest of the Kaminoan gang. If you wanted to know more about the wet, hidden planet than you ever...
-
Episode 10: Ackmena
It's our StarWTF!? Life Day Celebration! Today we look at one of the most INSANE Star Wars productions, the Star Wars Holiday Special... and specifically we are discussing Bea Arthur's badass bar tending character, Ackmena. She's the rough and tough nighttime bartender at the Cantina, who is…
more -
Episode 9: Dejarik (a/k/a Holochess)
Today we look back at Dejarik, the game that you probably know as "Holochess". It's the chess-like game that Chewbacca and R2-D2 play in the Millennium Falcon. The Dejarik table is a Star Wars icon (even teased by JJ Abrams during episode 7 shooting), but is the game itself any good? And more...
-
Episode 8: Lightwhip
With The Force Awakens trailer out, everyone is buzzing about the new cross-guard lightsaber, but we go way back to the Expanded Universe and talk about the Lightwhip!
