A not so long time ago, Jason & Gabe had the great idea of watching the Ben Burtt penned Droids animated series primetime special, The Great Heep. Having loved it and talked about Master Mungo Baobab in just about every Blast Points episode afterwards, they decicded that it would be awesome to go ahead here and do a full commentary for the entire Baobab arc of four Droids animated episodes.
