  • 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.
