  • You have to do something about the ads

    I’ve listened to ForceCenter for 7 years and it’s been so much fun to see their growth, that means more advertisers which is great. The problem is you guys just have these ads hitting at the most random points throughout the podcast on here. Maybe YouTube really is where the money is so that’s become your new focus, but you guys can’t keep uploading these podcasts and having ads interrupt mid sentence.

  • If you are a Star Wars fan, listen to this!

    Ignore the trolls, they don’t get it. Every Star Wars podcast worth its salt is just ripping from ForceCenter in one way or another. Jennifer Landa, Ken Napzok, and Joseph Scrimshaw provide so much great Star Wars energy in this podcast feed. Their analyses are incredibly thoughtful and engage with what they like about the media in question, and occasionally what they don’t.

    BUT THEY ARE NOT “TOXICALLY POSITIVE”, NOR DO THEY “LIKE EVERYTHING”. It’s just more interesting, productive, and fun to... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Should Star Wars Stories Start With Timelines? | Star Wars Questions - FC 887
Q: Should the movies and shows start putting when they take place in the timeline?
They discuss that a general temporal anchor (e.g., a broad era like Five Years Before Scarif) can help, but over-precision may complicate storytelling and alienate casual viewers; a measured approach with contextual clues is preferred.
What's the future of The Mandalorian and Grogu? | Star Wars Questions - FC EP 892
Q: Would you rather a direct movie sequel happen or a season four of the show?
The hosts lean toward a future that advances Grogu and Din Djarin with a big-screen next step, but agree that a TV follow-up could also work if it deepens character growth and explores new arcs like Bo-Katan and Thrawn, balancing cinematic scope with serialized storytelling.
Star Wars: Legacy author Madeleine Roux | ForceCenter Interviews
Q: What inspired you to write a Star Wars novel focused on Leia and Rey together?
I wanted to explore their emotional landscapes, give them room to breathe between big cinematic moments, and show how a shared journey can reveal new depths to both characters while keeping the core of what makes them beloved intact.
Should there be more lead Jedi aliens? Star Wars Questions - FC EP 884
Q: How would you feel about a Chiss Jedi in Rey's New Jedi Order or the Kinberg trilogy?
We discussed that a Chiss Jedi could bring fresh perspective and cultural tension to the Order, offering a chance to explore themes of rigidity and personal freedom while still delivering a compelling coming-of-age story for new Jedi students.
Dare we dream for more Star Wars animation? | Star Wars Questions | EP 865
Q: What are your desires for more animation—should it be more films, a return to a Clone Wars–style series, or explorations like High Republic?
The hosts express interest in a mix: definitive animated features for major arcs and character-focused series that dive into distinct time periods, with a future emphasis on opportunities like Luke/Ben/Jedi Academy stories and potentially a High Republic-leaning project, while acknowledging budget, timelines, and market dynamics.
