Star Wars Loose Canon

The Hutts: those obese, rascal-riding slugs that gross out the galaxy. It's a good idea to avoid the Hutts if possible. They have their own chunk of the galaxy carved out for themselves for a reason. The boys offer up their advice for how to deal with a Hutt should you go up against one, but discover just how dangerous it is to do so. Our sincerest apologies go out to our listeners from Las Vegas, Ohio, Detroit, any fans of Ty Pennington and people still living at home. ...ok just America in general. Sorry America.

Space: The infinite frontier. Or something. But still, space...it's really big! How do all those people zip all around the galaxy so easily? How do down-trodden aliens (and only one human apparently) rip through crazy, chaotic and dangerous podracing courses? How does one not only go fast...but Hyperspace-fast? On this episode of Loose Canon the boys talk about how the mechanics of such things in the Star Wars universe work, and how those concepts relate to some familiar scenes from the movies. Don't worry, they'll take it slow with you.

This is a burning question for you isn't it? It's probably the biggest enigma from Episode IV. What's the big beef with droids at the galaxy-famous Mos Eisley Cantina? Is it prejudice? Is Wuher just a big bully? Or is it something more? Also the boys contemplate the musical stylings of the house band at length...

Savage beast? Lovable fuzzball? Or the most vital agent for good in the galaxy? The trio uncovers just who Chewbacca is and what makes him tick.

Bonus segment: it's a small galaxy after all.

It ain't easy being Jedi. In this episode, the boys cover what it takes to make it at the Jedi Academy and why Anakin had it rough as a Jedi. Also what does it take to balance the Force? Certainly it has something to do with the Sith, right? Theme song performed by Charles Laurita (written by John Williams).
