  • The bright center of the Universe

    Traveling at lightspeed from the planet that is farthest from, Jason and Jimmy Mac continue on a new adventure in leaving "no fan behind". Already Jedi Knights in the ways of the force, the hosts of RFR will always bring fascinating commentary, humor, and a sense of community for all Star Wars fans. This is the podcast you are looking for. I have a great feeling about this.

    Update to review: I have listened to these guys from the beginning and the quality has only gotten better over the years. ... more

  • Nice podcast

    This is a good podcast, and it’s been going since 2013. I would recommend giving it a listen. The. Hosts aren’t boring, and it is an entertaining show to listen to, but their legends knowledge isn’t as good as some of the other podcasts I’ve listened to.
