For the purposes of this experiment, let’s assume taako was wearing a hat when the IPRE first left their homeworld
every time they are reset when they leave a plane, they are rebuilt exactly as they were when they left their original world. We can assume this means their clothes are reset as well, because there’s no way those red robes are lasting that long otherwise. It is also started that they are capable of bringing objects and lower lifeforms with them on the starblaster.
so, is it then feasible that Taako could say, take his hat off and leave it in his room on the starblaster, and then be rebuilt by the light of creation, wearing a replica of that same exact hat.
what i’m saying here is that taako found a glitch in the planes to make infinite hats and absolutely abused the hell out of it
He does it on accident the first year
After that, it’s how they keep track of how many loops they’ve been through. Good ol’ Taako’s hat count
“Wait, this is our… thirty-seventh year, right?”
“I thought we were on thirty -nine by now?”
“… I’ll go count Taakos hats
“My name’s Taako and this is my walkthrough for the Starblaster infinite hats glitch…”
