    I listen to a LOT of Star Wars and Star Wars toys podcasts, and this is currently my favourite. Love the pace, never feels rushed but they keep things moving and I can tell how much these guys love Star Wars. From an old dude in Scotland, thank you and please hang in there. Us fans have been through plenty up and downs in the last half century!
