And by far my favorite April Fools joke this year was an episode of the “Star Wars In Character” podcast in which they spend over an hour discussing a character that was completely made-up:
Thank you for the awesome compliment on our April Fools Episode!!! We had a blast recording it! – Tim from SWIC
That episode was so good I actually listened to it twice. You guys did a fantastic job and definitely had me fooled. At first I felt kind of dumb for not knowing who this guy was. You guys clearly put a lot of time into coming up with a back-story that was funny but just believable enough. Great job!
