  • Good Podcast

    This is a good podcast to listen to if you want to get caught up with anything Stars Wars, recommend it for sure.

    The single complaint I have with the show is how much I hear the words “uh” and “um”. Try to reduce those words as much as you can to make the show great instead of good.

  • The scope of coverage is good, but would be better if more research were done into production, etc., to add more perspective.

    As it is, I can't handle the smugness anymore. Arrogant, disrespectful, and holier than thou — even incriminating themselves without irony to talk down to anyone who dares try to present cultural context.

    I personally prefer podcasts that bring more positivity and information to the table. But it might be for you. I recommend deciding for yourself.

  • Star Wars: A Safe Space

    The Star Wars Universe Podcast provides the most rounded critique of Star Wars content I have found in a podcast. It goes wider and deeper than most, and host Matthew creates a warm, open space for guests to express their views. Occasionally discussions about particular issues continue a little longer than necessary when the points have already been clearly made, but it is far better for that to happen than for the topics to not be discussed at all. Conversations remain friendly and respectful t... more

  • Hate Speech against Police Officers.

    I tuned in to this podcast to listen to discussion on the Andor finale, and was shocked when one of the hosts stated that Imperial Stormtroopers have more restraint than most American cops. I was further shocked when the other host agreed with him. As a police officer myself, I found this very offensive, insulting, hyperbolic, ridiculous, and blatantly untrue. Are there bad cops out there? Yes, and I want all of them brought down HARD. Are most cops bad? Of course not. Most of us are here becaus... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Maul Before the Myth
Q: How does Maul's relationship with Palpatine influence his trajectory into the new show?
Maul is depicted as betrayed and used, ultimately breaking away from Palpatine's orbit; the new show is likely to explore what Maul wants after that rupture and how his identity evolves outside the Sith's direct control.
Maul Before the Myth
Q: What do these books suggest about Maul's understanding of the Sith and the Rule of Two?
The texts show Maul learning only a portion of the Sith's philosophy from Palpatine, not the full picture, which explains why he often acts like a weapon rather than a political strategist; Palpatine's ultimate ambition overlooks Maul's loyalty, treating him as a tool.
Maul Before the Myth
Q: So talk to me about kind of the overall picture you get of Maul in these books.
Maul is portrayed as ambitious and hungry for power, but more of an attack dog than a schemer like Palpatine; his strength lies in intimidation and brute force, with occasional flashes of analytical thinking in certain stories like Shadow Hunter.
Star Wars 2025 in Review
Q: What was your favorite thing from 2025?
The obvious number one is Andor; Mask of Fear is a great setup for Andor in many ways.
Star Wars 2025 in Review
Q: What are you most excited about in 2026?
I'm excited that I'll be graduating school and I can go to cons more often, plus I can afford new Star Wars cosplays.
