  • Fun, entertaining, and I am learning a lot!

    Children of the Watch is my favorite Start Wars podcast! I started listening during The Acolyte and listened to most that came before that and all that came after (some more than once!

    It’s easy to feel like you’re part of the conversation, especially with all of the irresponsible speculation that goes on.

    I can NOT wait for Maul- Shadow Lord and especially for the COTW breakdown episodes.. I can’t wait to see if the show goes to Dathomir.

    Thanks for all you do, Alex and Mac!

  • My favorite Star Wars podcast

    Alex and Mac follow the Ted Lasso philosophy of "Be curious, not judgemental." They are engaging hosts, knowledgable about all things Star Wars, and really enhance my enjoyment of new shows/movies as they are released.
