  • Drought ?

    No drought!

    Some spoiled little millennials, yes.

    If you experienced waiting 3 years between the original trilogy, then you see what I mean.

    From a certain point of view.

    Keep up the good work!

  • 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

#302 - Big Changes Coming To Galaxy's Edge (ft. Brooke McDonald)

Q: Who would you choose as your wingman in the Star Wars universe?
Carrie Fisher would be my choice as wingman.

Q: What comics or books do you think could be made into a really good movie or TV show?
Bloodline has an insanely huge moment in the Skywalker saga that would translate well on screen.
