Gleep Glossary #87 - Kyp Durron (Patreon)

On this month's Gleep Glossary, we're learning all about the genocidal madman that Luke Skywalker admitted into his Jedi Academy, Kyp Durron!

Growing up on a raft city on a giant water planet, Kyp's family was sent to toil in the spice mines while his brother was indoctrinated into the Imperial ranks. His parents were quickly murdered in prison by some inmates in league with the warden. Orphaned, he partnered with an old lady Jedi who taught him what she could until he left her to rot in jail while he went off with Han Solo and Chewbacca in an escape, later joining Luke's Jedi Academy. He also would go on to use a Death Star laser to destroy a whole planet, killing billions including his own brother, among other nefarious acts, and was never punished for it! Way to go, Luke, you raised a Sith Lord!

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!
