Gleep Glossary: A Star Wars Story #68 - Thrackan Sal-Solo
Added 2024-08-09 10:00:03 +0000 UTCIt's the sweaty, August edition of our Star Wars Gleep Glossary!
In this chapter, we're learning all about Han Solo's racist cousin, Thrackan Sal-Solo! How funny is it that Han's family immediately regretted tracking down relatives and meeting this guy? How did this jackass become Head of State of Corellia and later the Minister of War? What was with him hiring Boba Fett's daughter to murder his relatives? And how funny is it to think about this dude kicking Han's ass as kids? PLUS: What if Thrackan Sal-Solo was born in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn?
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!
Thank you for being so incredible by continuing to support this weird, wild adventure we're on! You make this all possible! We know you have lots of options when choosing which pods you listen to and we very much appreciate you carving out some time for us!

The Boba Fett who double-taps this guy after his head has already been blown off is far superior to Boba Friend.

2024-08-14 23:06:06 +0000 UTCEric’s inability to say Yuuzhan Vong is endlessly funny

2024-08-12 12:10:11 +0000 UTCNot to get off topic, but any chance of throwing in an entry from that Marvel Encyclopedia once in a blue moon? Maybe just to mix it up, plus I’m sure you’re audience is familiar 🤷🏾♂️

Now pass a slice!”

2024-08-10 04:50:35 +0000 UTCIn order to prevent the glossary from shutting down, I wholeheartedly recommend to Eric to read those ancient Han Solo Adventures he got. There is some weird wild shit in that. Gladiatorial combat with robots to break Chewie out of space jail, talking plesiosaurs that ferry people across a lake, evil otter alien bureaucrats... And the companion Lando Adventure books have him befriend a baby sentient starship.

2024-08-09 23:29:29 +0000 UTCI really enjoy hearing you guys try to make sense of EU horseshit. Lord knows most of the authors couldn't.

2024-08-09 21:53:13 +0000 UTCAn all-timer episode of the Glossary, I was smiling the whole episode. The music references, the continuing hatred of Book of Boba Fett? Chef’s kiss.

2024-08-09 17:33:12 +0000 UTCI'm just here for the robust conversation in the chat so Eric continues to do glossaries of gleeps. Keep it goin Eric, we love ya man!

2024-08-09 15:25:05 +0000 UTCAmazing conclusion! I thought Eric was just riffing at first, not believing that’s what was actually written.

2024-08-09 13:13:59 +0000 UTCWait, there are EU stories with the Hellraiser crew invading the Star Wars galaxy? Like Pinhead, Butterball, and Chatterer battling Jedis? Sounds insane, but I am intrigued.

2024-08-09 12:24:03 +0000 UTCYES!!!! The gleaps, the glops, the bleaps and the bops! I know this guy, I loved the Corellian trilogy as a kid. Hell, maybe after a tall glass-a-water and giving this a listen I'll revisit them. My gf and I are enduring Covid atm, so WHM HP commentaries have definitely been in rotation.... And deadwood. Love you guys so much. Stay safe out there everybody, and never forget to wear the Blue!
