The forest moon of Endor was made famous by the battle that occurred there and of course the loveable ewoks that are native to the planet. In this episode we go over some interesting facts about Endor and more specifically the forest moon of Endor and its vast amount of species. 

Star Wars would be very different without post-production, especially when it comes to the voices of iconic characters. In this episode we discuss the changes in voice actors for some of Star Wars' more popular characters like Darth Vader, Boba Fett, Chewbacca, and others. 

Is this another episode about hair? Yes, yes it is. In this episode we talk about the subtle little braid that identifies a padawan jedi in training aka the padawan braid. Or for those of you who call them plaits we can call them padawan plait (has a ring to it). We talk about their purpose, who we see wearing them, what padawans without hair wear, and of course why we stop seeing them.

A much needed homage to the original Boba Fett, Jeremy Bulloch. We dive into this exciting documentary short on Disney+ and talk all things from the original Fett suit, the passing of the mantle to Temura Morrison and some easter eggs throughout the animated series Clone Wars and Bad Batch.

The wonderful game of Dajarik...or rather Holochess. A Galaxy from far, far away's popular board game that is actually a legit board game in our galaxy. We go over the times we see this board game in the movies and how cool it would be if there was a real holographic version of this in the real world. Also... angry wookies!

Our fascination with well designed species continues with an episode that talks about the massive woolly quadruped mammals that we see roaming the dunes on Tatooine. We don't really get to know much about the bantha species so we decided to do a fun fact episode on what we have learned. We talk about their tendencies, their lifespan, diet and of course the insult of being called 'bantha fodder'.  Join us on as we tip toe into the species design of banthas!

In this episode we decided to tackle a question that we had in regards to force users losing limbs and their ability (or inability) to survive the loss of a limb. Going through each episode we start to notice a few patterns. We talk about Anakin losing limbs and surviving, the alien animals that have lost limbs, the strangers that lost limbs being in contact with force users and most importantly how some of these individuals survived while others perished. Join us for a fun episode where we count off the losers of limbs and those who did the chopping off. 

In this episode we decided to deep dive on the one and only, Grand Master Yoda. We have a massive chat about the original puppeteering, concept artwork, the voice creation and everyone involved. There were so many creatives and designers who played a role in creating the well loved character we know as Yoda. 

Today we talk about something Han Solo says in An Empire Strikes Back. Han replies to the Echo Base Officer's concerns with a common phrase "I'll see you and hell." This had fans interested in if "hell" is a "thing" in Star Wars. It is and we want more. 

As the titles suggests... somehow, Palpatine has returned. In another episode of Designing Afterthoughts we discuss the controversial return of Palpatine in the sequels. We know he returned in Legends, but have they done our Palpsy Boi justice in the sequels? Bare with us as PB gets a little emotional, but we go on to having a great optimistic conclusion on the possibilities of upcoming Star Wars series.
