This week we’re finally getting serious and doing some deep reflection discussing 2 of our favorite things in the galaxy, the bug head bounty hunter buddies, ZUCKUSS and 4-LOM. It’a all about the legend of 4-LOM and Zuckuss, the behind the scenes story, the myths and mystery surrounding them, what they teach us about ourselves and why we were too scared to eat an eclair from Mrs. 4-LOM in Japan.

But it’s not all doom and gloom as he dares to be cute defending Ewoks and takes time out for his favorite healthy breakfast.
So don’t listen to Luke Skywalker and his friends, celebrate the love and listen today!
