  • Politics-Ugh!

    Thought this subject was going to get boring very quickly.

    Seems I was mistaken about a great many things.

    Andrea being one of them. Very interesting guest, bringing a lot of new perspectives to the conversation.

    Keep up the good work!

  • Stay in your lane, boys

    I initially enjoyed the podcast. These guys could find a way to be positive about Star Wars, even when there were some not well received content. But now all Adam wants to do is be passive aggressive in regards to conservatives.

  • 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!

Attendees described it as surreal and a dream come true, expressing excitement to experience a new Star Wars film in theaters with fellow fans and creators.
#305 - SABER: A Documentary.
Q: What do you hope people get when they see the documentary?

#302 - Big Changes Coming To Galaxy's Edge (ft. Brooke McDonald)
Q: Brooke, can you explain the timeline changes happening in Galaxy's Edge?
