  • Great Star Wars podcast that provides a wide look at the galaxy. Open to all opinions not just old fanboys. Safe place to discuss ALL movies and characters.

  • Enjoying things is not Shilling

    Both of these creators have well established day jobs. I may not like everything they enjoy, but their opinion is true to them. When they aren’t into something, they haven’t dove into rage bait(which yes, is inauthentic-and some of y’all clearly fall for it).

    Also- ESB was not as beloved as it is now. Same with the prequels. So for someone to “SaY tHaT” is fine.

  • Positivity!

    I’m fairly new to Full Of Sith but it’s great to hear a SW podcast laced with positivity. There are some bits of the SWEU I’m not overly keen on but I’m balanced enough to get on with it & so are these guys. Big difference from a lot of rival pods who seem to thrive on division. May The Force Be With You.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode DCLIV: 10 Years of Rogue One
Q: When did you guys realize that no one would survive?
Panelists say the deaths became clear as the characters completed their parts in the mission, with several recognizing K-2SO's death as the turning point. The film's premise and the Death Star's threat also made survival unlikely.
Episode DCLIV: 10 Years of Rogue One
Q: Why were there scenes in the Rogue One trailer that were not in the movie?
The panel explains that the marketing trailer was assembled before the film was finished, and later edits and reshoots changed the story. Removing the separate beach run and placing the Communications Tower atop the Citadel Archive streamlined the movie.
Episode DCLI: Kiersten White and Hiding From the Dark
Q: What were the main challenges in balancing horror and Star Wars tone for a middle-grade audience?
The primary challenge was pacing and scare level—keeping enough tension to be frightening while avoiding extreme body horror and preserving a hopeful through-line for younger readers; the team leaned into sound design and environmental threats to heighten fear without crossing into inappropriate territory.
Episode DCLXVII - The Authors of Star Wars
Q: What makes a story feel like Star Wars beyond the vocabulary?
The guests emphasized a blend of adventure, danger, sacrifice, friendship, humor, and a cinematic sense that makes the world feel lived-in and visually rich, even in prose.
Episode DCXLIV: Manny Jacinto
Q: How did the experience on The Good Place influence your approach to The Stranger in Star Wars?
Jacinto credits The Good Place with giving him a sense of timing and comedic rhythm that informed his portrayal of the Stranger, even as the roles differ in genre and tone.
