Episode 080 - Giant Space Monsters

September 29, 2024 • Connor and Alex • Season 3 • Episode 28

This episode surveys a unique part of the Star Wars setting - giant monsters and creatures that exclusively live in the black void of space itself. Connor and Alex talk about the majestic Purgill (space whales), the enigmatic and enormous exogorth (space worm) and the apex predator of the space lanes, the suma-verminoth. The hosts explore the depiction of each of these enormous creatures and how they mix the appeal of the unknown with the dangerous and sublime, with a size that is barely comprehensible on a human scale. Listen today to learn more about the Giant Space Monsters of Star Wars.

This episode mentions content from and contains potential spoilers for: Episode 5, Episode 9, Rebels, Solo: A Star Wars Story, From a Certain Point of View (Empire Strikes Back), Legends of Luke Skywalker, The Mandalorian, Ahsoka, and Darth Vader (2015 and 2020 comic series).
