#79 - What's So Great About Star Wars? (Part 2) ['Episode IV - A New Hope' cont.]
Update: 2025-11-03
Description
The Penny Men blast off for a Star Wars: A New Hope breakdown… and promptly crash into a pile of weird trivia, bad action figures, and an uncomfortable amount of Jar Jar content!
Highlights include:
- Why Biggs Darklighter is the best character who never mattered
- The tragedy of Porkins (and his cursed name)
- Chewbacca’s medal snub: speciesism or simple oversight?
- Deleted scenes you didn’t know existed (Luke had friends??)
- Special Editions: who asked for more dewbacks?
- That horrifying Jar Jar Binks candy with the sticky tongue
- LEGO Star Wars specials, Ewok cartoons, and a brief flirtation with Spaceballs
- The best and worst Star Wars deaths (hint: RIP Greedo’s dignity)!
Come for the commentary, stay for the chaos! Punch it, Chewie!
