    This Podcast uploads weekly. It discusses various Star Wars topics across books, movies, and TV shows. It’s a half hour to an hour in length. So you can listen to it in the car. On the way to or from work. Which is what I do. Matt and John are excellent hosts. They are very knowledgeable about everything Star Wars. I recommend this podcast to any Star Wars fan.

    So many great topics discussed! The hosts and their guests really get into talking about all things Star Wars. Loved the recent Andor episode. Definitely not vague and unconvincing. Keep up the nerdiness! Thanks!

    This is where the guys are great & enjoy the longer timed podcast. I’ve been listening for awhile now and in the beginning the guys led into their face in relation to the Star Wars topic and while that may not be very popular sure do wish they would lien into their face more often.

    Keep up the great work fellaz!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Star Wars: The Ninth Jedi
Q: Question for you.
The host asks which criticism to discuss first; the answer focuses on a storytelling choice about the time jump between episodes four and five, arguing it felt like a cheat and disrupted immersion.
Build Batuu Better
Q: Is everybody wants to put Vader in and they're going to put Vader in? Do you think that's the right move?
Batuu should encompass all sides of Star Wars and not just focus on Vader.
Build Batuu Better
Q: Do you think that that is a necessary change here for Galaxy's Edge moving forward?
Yes, it is necessary for relevance and to appeal to all fans of Star Wars.
Quis est Snoke?
Q: If they have a great backstory for Snoke that they roll out, will that help you enjoy the entire sequel trilogy more?
It could absolutely help, but it may also lead to thoughts of wishing the narrative cohesion had been better from the start.
Issue 400: A Star Wars Celebration
Q: What story would you love to tell in Star Wars animation?
I would love to be involved with the story that tells the end of Ahsoka's journey, as well as exploring the character of Obi-Wan and his representation in the Star Wars narrative.
