This episode explores a unique and infamous trait of Star Wars - that of the minor background character with the rich, hidden, and deep lore (or those that steal the show). From Boba Fett to cantina patrons to droids on secret missions, the hosts sketch out their favorite or more bizarre side characters that add a particular richness to a galaxy far far away. As a bonus, Alex and Connor discuss the difference between a bureaucrat and an autocrat, dive down a nesting doll of bounty hunters, and how mustaches determine the morality of all canon Besalisks.
