Gleep Glossary #85 - Biggs Darklighter (Patreon)

On the final Gleep Glossary entry of 2025, we're chatting about Luke Skywalker's dead townie friend, Biggs Darklighter!

Biggs Darklighter was an ace pilot who flew several missions for the rebellion over the years. He grew up on Tatooine where he befriended a lowly moisture farmer's nephew, Luke Skywalker! Darklighter would leave the planet first, headed to the Imperial Academy before defecting to the rebel alliance right after graduation! Darklighter flew his last mission alongside his hometown bud, Luke Skywalker, but was blown to smithereens by Vader in the final battle.

Dude led a storied life, and we learn all about him this month!

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 and 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!
