b'Today we dive into another one of the wonderful weapons of the Star Wars universe. We\'ve talked about the Bowcaster, the Light Whip, so naturally it\'s time to discuss the multi-purpose Gaffi Stick! But what are the purposes? We never see the full potential when the Tusken Raiders attack Luke Skywalker in A New Hope. Also.... WTF is a GADERFFII!?
