  • It was better before Mike the Mansplainer took over

    I understand the other 3 have successful music careers making it hard for them to consistently be on a weekly show. I would honestly rather them put out less shows with the trio as opposed to letting Mike’s ego feed everything and have him platforming fandom menace types from the maker community because they are “his buddies”

  • Superfan shill drivel

    I’ve never before witnessed this level of superfan shilling. They just list the current Star Wars things and say it’s amazing and incredible. That is the entire creative endeavour here. People who feel Star Wars can be both good and at times bad, and feel a need to discuss or acknowledge those bad times, are trolls and haters in their eyes. I had high hopes, when hearing about this podcast on the SGU podcast, but was thoroughly disappointed. Been a Star Wars fan since a child, but like everythin... more

  • Aggghhhh

    I love the positive energy of these people, but what happened to the recording of the skeleton crew finale episode review? Double speech multiple times throughout the show. Very disappointing when I enjoy the show usually.

    Hope you sort it out soon.

  • Favorite Star Wars Podcast!

    This has been my favorite podcast for a few years, so shame on me for taking so long to write a review. I started listening by way of several funny Star Wars memes posted to their IG account that then made their way to my social media feed. It wasn’t until several months of listening in that I realized the hosts are literal rock stars! The hosts are smart, funny, and engaging, and each episode strikes the perfect balance of structure and spontaneity. They represent the very best of the Star Wars... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#280 - Star Wars at San Diego Comic-Con 2025 (ft. Ramey Chanadet)
Q: So for people who are listening, who knew that we did a panel together, what is the process of getting a panel for Comic-Con?
Ramey explains that a form is available on the website months prior to the event, where coordinators need to be convinced that the panel can attract an audience.
#276 - Can We Convince Each Other To Watch These Non-Star Wars Shows and Movies?
Q: What do you like about Star Trek that Star Wars could take from it?
Honestly, a little bit of justified hope and sense of like, oh, everything is going to be okay if we just do it this way and not the constant battle.
#273 - AMA VI
Q: Did you ever expect your little pod to have as much impact and reach?
Did I hope for it? Yes. Did I expect it? No. I definitely did not expect to go places and hear people yell Thank the Maker across the room.
#273 - AMA VI
Q: What is something new you learned about yourself or do every day because of the Galactic Starcruiser or both?
Being on that trip, in a stationary building but theoretically going through space, allowed me to be my truest self and fully embrace my character.
#273 - AMA VI
Q: If each of you created your own Mando armor, what would the colors and symbols be?
I would choose colors like a dark mint green or turquoise with yellow. Weapons wise, something like a rifle for sure, and possibly a shield.
