  • 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!

  • 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”

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#305 - SABER: A Documentary.
Q: What do you hope people get when they see the documentary?
I want people to know that there's something you're interested in, you can find people that have that same interest, and you can connect with them and not have to change anything about yourself. That's the main goal I want people to get from this film.
#302 - Big Changes Coming To Galaxy's Edge (ft. Brooke McDonald)
Q: Brooke, can you explain the timeline changes happening in Galaxy's Edge?
Yes, the timeline is being effectively unlocked at Disneyland only, allowing original trilogy characters to be present at the park, changing locations for characters, and modifying backstories.
#300 - 10 Years of The Force Awakens (ft. Greg Grunberg)
Q: Who would you choose as your wingman in the Star Wars universe?
Carrie Fisher would be my choice as wingman.
#300 - 10 Years of The Force Awakens (ft. Greg Grunberg)
Q: Do you, as an actor, watch your work?
Yes, I do.
#290 - Star Wars Announcements from New York Comic Con 2025
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.
