Star Wars Loose Canon

Star Wars Loose Canon

Why aren’t droids allowed in Mos Eisley Cantina? How does hyperspace travel work? What’s so special about Endor? The Star Wars Loose Canon podcast answers these questions and many more. We’re just three dudes with a breadth of Star Wars knowledge and severe penchants for snark. Our job is to bring you this information (without dying first), making it both accessible for new fans and rich enough for fanboys to engage. Come for the bad puns, stay for the petulant Emperor impressions.
