“Star Wars was huge to me growing up. Back in the old days, they had Sony U-Matic, which was before Betamax and VHS. When I was a kid, we had two of those that had Star Wars a New Hope on it. I had a pirate copy of that. My friends from school and I, we used to go to my house after school and we would watch this beaten up old U-Matic of Star Wars. And that was a big treat for us.”
This episode ofThe Star Wars Showends with a segment calledEverything is Important. And it focuses on forgotten corners of theStar Warsuniverse. This particular segment remembers Anakin’s friend Kitster. A fun bit of trivia, this Tatooine native only gets 83 seconds of screen time inStar Wars: The Phantom Menaceand he is credited with helping Skywalker on his journey off the planet. Will Kitster return as a wizened old Jedi inStar Wars Episode VIII? Or did he long perish on the planet of Tatooine? Perhaps you may spot his skeleton bones in the deleted scene included in the first episode ofThe Star Wars Show, which you can watch here in all its glory
