Summary

Join Joseph Scrimshaw, Ken Napzok, and Jennifer Landa as they dive into the Star Wars Databanks! In each episode, they pick an entry from StarWars.com’s databank or the Wookieepedia Star Wars dictionary and discuss whatever they find. Luke’s second lightsaber, a podracer from The Phantom Menace, the space monkey that rebuilt Kylo Ren’s helmet—whatever it is, they discuss it with insight, humor, and inclusive exploration of the very wide, weird galaxy far, far away. Today's episode: Shoretroopers!
