Episode II: How Would YOU Define "Minor Character?"

"How Would YOU Define 'Minor Character?'" is the second episode of The Skyhoppers Podcast. Being an early episode, Ben and Ash are still trying to find their footing as hosts, but the one host per ear issue has been resolved, at least. This style of episode is very free form and stream-of-consciousness, leading to many conversational tangents. This format would later come to define the show.

Despite being new to podcast hosting, the budding friendship between Ben and Ash that would continue to grow is already apparent here. There are a few awkward moments, but it is apparent that they are already learning to handle the constant speaking over one another.

Episode Description
Hidey ho, valued listeners! This week, Ash and Ben tackle a few bits of news (leading to a small discussion about Snoke theories. It was only a matter of time.) and then launch into the main topic, in which they discuss (some) of their favorite minor characters in the Star Wars universe. At some point near the end, Ash mentions Borsk Fey'lya and things start to devolve into a tirade against the Bothans, but thankfully Ben is able to stop himself before he says anything too offensive.

P.S. For anyone unfamiliar with the Shadows of the Empire game, here's the Ord Mantell level feat. IG-88 and his terrible noises (thanks to YouTube user TheEnglishman64): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfFG-aS4l9k

Summary
The hosts spend the episode discussing some of their favorite minor characters that had appeared in Star Wars up to that point in time. To open the show, Ben and Ash discuss some then-current news regarding some new images from Rogue One, Snoke theories, and then launch into their main topic. Many of the characters they mention go on to become show favorites, such as Bail Organa and Wedge Antilles. Much of the discussion draws from Legends sources, but there is some focus on Canon characters as well.
