Star Wars Loose Canon

Running a galactic empire is hard! Stress cracks start to show by the beginning of Return of the Jedi, and sure enough a cunning race of creatures is there to exploit it.

Join the boys as they discuss the cutest, most blood thirsty and most "easily religious" teddy bears of the galaxy. Beyond the Ewoks, the Battle of Endor shows how the Sith fell to their greatest enemy yet: bureaucracy.

Many Bothans died to give us the Emperor's Instagrams.

Pic of Mt. Sorrow if you're curious.

To wipe or not to wipe? No this episode isn't about personal hygiene in the galaxy, it's about droids. To be honest, the role of droids in the galaxy makes the boys a tad uncomfortable. Were they mere tools meant only to benefit the master, or were they true, albeit inorganic beings sentenced to a life of toil and eventual dismemberment? Maybe by the end of this episode, you'll be ready to rid the universe of "meatbags."

Bonus points for those who recognize the theme from our end credits.

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.
