On our first ever LIVE Gleep Glossary, the Cerveza Crystal is flowing (not really, unfortunately) as the guys go all the way with Darth Vader, learning almost everything about his long, and rich life. But even after all that, can you ever really know someone like Darth? The gang did their best, playing to a sold-out crowd in England, to try and find out. PLUS: That little kid in the Kenner toy commercial got his ass kicked, right?
We're releasing this HUGE Gleep Glossary episode over here on the free feed as well to give folks a taste of our Star Wars sideshow that they may not have yet checked out! There are currently over 80 other Gleep Glossary chapters available on our Patreon right now for you to enjoy! So click through and sign up today!
Gleep Glossary: A Star Wars Story is a show where the guys try to honor the history and legacy of Star Wars characters, most of whom we've been told don't matter anymore! It releases once a month on their Patreon.
