Paploo sails through the trees, more lucky than in control. It’s scary, but he loves it.

Starts with Paploo stealing a speeder bike, and ends with a speeder biker being tricked into being captured by the Rebels.
Paploo is played by actor/stuntman Tony Cox in this scene.
- This shot was filmed by hanging him from the speeder bike vertically.
Goofy fun music.

Tony is in the elite group that plug something different every day. Shoutout to Matt Gourley.
How does Paploo know what to do?
When Star Wars tries to be funny. It's not good at gags.
Mentioned: Spaceballs.
"Fuzzball" vs. "furball".
What the scout troopers are doing there vs. what they should be doing.
- Coolest stormtrooper variant costume? Tony is a fan.
Rehashing the native fauna of Endor.
Potential future coverage of the Ewok TV movies.
Did all the speeder bikers need to go after Paploo?
Do ships in Star Wars need keys to start? Sure.
- How Paploo was able to start the speeder bike.
The scout troopers are getting progressively less effective.
Bunker factoids.

Cold open: Ad for the Star Wars minute t-shirt, featuring our friend Chiptwick.

Pete previously listed the native animals of Endor during minute 50. Tony was also previously a guest when the flora and fauna of Dagobah were discussed.
The guys eventually did cover the first Ewok movie as a live special.
Wrigley was the name of Alex's pug dog (deceased) who can be heard in the background of many early episodes.
It is over 700 miles (about 1200 km) or a 12-hour drive from L.A. to Crescent City, CA, near where they filmed the bunker scenes. Unfortunately the area is unrecognizable due to clearcut logging. However, a local man who worked on the production took some of the fiberglass panels that the bunker was made from to use as a fence.

Pete: Other than the Blasé tree goat it's unimportant.
Alex:...they'd be making fun of you if your dog stole your car—is our car still out there? Pete: Wait, where's Wrigley?
Alex: I have some information about factoids. Pete: Factoid facts!
