Gleep Glossary #88 - Death Star Gunner, Tenn Graneet (Patreon)

On this patron-curated chapter of our Star Wars Gleep Glossary, we're learning about Tenn Graneet, the gunner on the first Death Star!

How does one guy get all the way into the gunner's chair on the Death Star from such small beginnings? Well, you act like this guy, Tenn Graneet! Dude lost an arm in battle and was given a pretty sweet robot arm to replace it, then joined up as the Empire grew stronger. He lost his nephew, Horah on a star destroyer, which strengthened his hatred of the rebels. So this dude goes and requested to be stationed on the Death Star! From there, the rest is history: this guy pulled the trigger and destroyed Alderaan, instantly killing billions of people, giving him the highest body count in the galaxy. Wild stuff!

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!
