EP#410: Eighth Annual MacroFab Star Wars Christmas Special - Somehow this Podcast Returned

Not unlike Han Solo emerging from cryosleep, the annual MacroFab Star Wars Christmas Special is back! Parker and Stephen welcome Josh Rozier, Chris Kraft, and Hyr0n to Circuit Break for a wide-ranging discussion covering at least the following about the Star Wars universe:

  • The Most Ingenious Pieces of Technology in Star Wars
  • The Most Underrated Characters
  • Favorite (and Most Profound) Star Wars Quotes
  • Personal picks for cool lightsaber functions
  • Do Star Wars ships and vehicles ever need gas?
  • Medical care in Star Wars vs. Star Trek
  • Whether or not you’re sleeping while encased in carbonite or just dead the whole time
  • A burning desire for vibroblades
  • The toilet paper situation in Star Wars
  • Does Star Wars really illuminate the vastness of space?
  • Chewbacca knows everything
  • Spider-Man’s goo
  • So many Star Wars magic tricks
  • Tow Cable/Power Harpoon as a reasonable tactic to use against the AT-ATs on Hoth?
  • Science-Fiction vs. Science-Fantasy
  • “Skippy” and The Mandalorian
  • FM Radio Transmissions in Caves
  • Star Wars: Thrawn and the curious case of loading cargo and other bureaucratic tasks
  • Engineering ethics in the Empire / Darth Vader and anger management
  • Stewie’s Vader
  • Kylo Ren, blasters, and magical gas
  • Not loving JJ Abrams’ elimination of limitations
  • + much more!
