Episode 2: The Empire Needs BiPAP

SUBJECTIVE

In episode 2, we talk about everyone's favorite mobile ICU from a galaxy far, far away. How does Darth Vader fit all of his medical equipment in his suit? How many backpacks or backpack droids does he have? Also, we talk a lot about poop. Everybody poops. Even Darth Vader.

ASSESSMENT

• This was the very first episode we recorded! Which is why we called it our first episode at the end. Even though it's the second one...
• There was no rating at the end because this was before we started doing that.
