  • Thorough, honest but non-bashing breakdowns

    Love Albert and Jonesy, and even Mike (even though I disagree with him most of the time, he makes fun of himself and is entertaining); these guys love Star Wars and break down all the Star Wars media. I usually listen to the shows after the movies or shows have all already been out - I hate any kind of spoilers, so I avoid them religiously! A lot of fans seem to get stuck on their own expectations instead of just enjoying the stories we are presented with the great characters and their progressi... more

  • Best Star Wars podcast out there

    This is easily the best Star Wars podcast I’ve listened to!! They cover EVERYTHING in depth and know all the nooks and crannies of Star Wars lore, excluding nothing. Movies. Shows. Books. Comics. Collectibles. Absolutely everything. And if you’re not a die hard fan, they explain backstories and history of some of the characters that pop up in shows that you may not be familiar with. They put it all in context. I hope they continue to do this as long as new content is being released.

  • Fantastic show delivered by amazing people

    I found this show back when the force awakens was released and it had me hooked. The presenters always show great passion for Star Wars and deliver such balanced arguments about all Star Wars content. May the force love long in this show.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

658 - The Mandalorian and Grogu: The Final Hype!
Q: Do you think Rey Sloan will ever be in the Mandoverse?
The respondents admit they don't have enough information to judge fully, but explain who Rey Sloan is and discuss potential future crossovers as speculative and contingent on broader storytelling plans.
658 - The Mandalorian and Grogu: The Final Hype!
Q: Do you think there will be any Thrawn name drops or hints of his return via the Shadow Council?
There's a possibility of a name drop, but a full connection is unlikely in this movie; the discussion leans toward keeping this installment standalone while leaving room for future Thrawn-related references.
658 - The Mandalorian and Grogu: The Final Hype!
Q: Would you prefer the story be a movie or a TV series?
Both hosts lean toward movies for Star Wars when the story can be told in two hours, but acknowledge that slow-burn character development might justify a TV series for deeper world-building.
658 - The Mandalorian and Grogu: The Final Hype!
Q: Will this Mandalorian & Grogu movie sneak in or implement any lore and canon?
They expect some lore to be explored, with cinematic scope, but anticipate the film to be more self-contained than a sprawling universe-wide story, at least in its initial framing.
658 - The Mandalorian and Grogu: The Final Hype!
Q: What does the success of this movie mean for the future of the Star Wars cinematic universe?
The hosts suggest a strong opening could reopen the door to a Filoni verse film and bolster related projects like Ahsoka Season 2, while also acknowledging that the slate remains fluid and success could accelerate new movies and crossovers.
