It'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!

YES!!!! 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!

Matt Reid

Wait, 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.

Hope you all feel better soon, Zora! Enjoy the commentaries, they contain subliminal healing balms that will soothe the soul! - Andrew

I wish those existed. I'd read them in two seconds. Or like, a Trek novel where the Borg discover the Cenobites haha. - Andrew

Amazing conclusion! I thought Eric was just riffing at first, not believing that’s what was actually written.

Smaug

I'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!

Ray

The one below awaits your arrival

Eric deserves a standing ovation for the Suburbia pull for Pet Shop Boys

James R.

An 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.

MarkNM

I really enjoy hearing you guys try to make sense of EU horseshit. Lord knows most of the authors couldn't.

In 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.

Andrew Dean

I googled this guy and like Steve IMMEDIATELY saw Michael McDonald

Evan

Please do come back to Portland OR, we miss you guys!!! The last show here was a blast :)

Imperial: “First Name?” Thracken: “I’m Thraken” Imperial: “Last name?” Thracken: “None” Imperial: “Where’d you get that pizza?” Thracken: “Sal’s” Imperial: “You sharing it with anyone?” Thracken: “No. I’m alone” Imperial: “Cadet name is Thracken Sal Solo. Now pass a slice!”

Hobbes Roy

Chris, the Sublime reference….🤘

I had one of those books as a kid (Han Solo and the Lost Legacy) but, try as I might, 8 year old me could not follow the story one bit.

Lance Flexington

Oh man, the end of that one has Han destroy an entire 10,000 year old army of killbots by tricking them to march across a bridge, and their rhythmic stomps make the bridge collapse!

Jacobi Smith

Not 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 🤷🏾‍♂️

Lord Wesley

EU Boba Fett, especially in this story, was a miserable motherfucker. Around this time he was dying of cancer from being an old clone until someone from the clone wars gave him special medicine for it. lol

Timujin

Eric’s inability to say Yuuzhan Vong is endlessly funny

Jon Wika

HE PUT THE LIGHT SABER ON ME AND TOLD ME TO FUCK HER AND AND AND I DID OH GOD I FUCKED HER!!!

Jon Wika

Loved the betfair addition! Bring them into the EU!

Tim O'

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

Zora McBride

Just grabbed those because these motherfuckers have got me reading these books again, ... sometimes. Can't wait to encounter some of this craziness! Man, I really thought I was a big OG SW fan until they started the Gleep Glossary. My, god, the characters, the extras, the extra characters!

Billie Jackson

Let's just say that at some point you'll get substantially less Anakin Solo.
