  • Hope u find this

    If they brought the vong back it’s WRAPS for the galaxy. I hope they bring them into some cannon media but it would be insanely hard to do that in live action. Also bring bane back ✌

  • Amazing show with great hosts

    I have been a listener for many years. John, Lacey and James put a lot of effort into putting on a fantastic show each week that is highly entertaining. Their chemistry together is special and they are just passionate knowledgeable Star Wars fans giving honest and well considered opinions. Overall, they just seem like great people.

    Would highly recommend their podcast for any Star Wars fan.

  • Lost me

    I used to listen to this podcast as soon as episodes were released but the hosting vibe over the last year has become too combative. One host in particular is constantly complaining about other people’s use of language (SW-related and otherwise) but then can’t simply repeat major character names in the way that they are spoonfed to viewers; this same host often affects a truly horrendous ‘British accent’ (not a thing) completely unchecked. If you want SW news, this is probably still a good show ... more

  • Going downhill


    I used to like this podcast and had it in my regular line up. Then three things happened recently that caused me to drop it from my listening cue
 first, they brought in another host, or brought him back, which doesn’t add much to the conversation, just adds more small talk and makes the show less interesting. Second, Lacey had changed her tone and lot. She used to be cool and interesting but now she’s just kind of annoying
 her obsession with Ben Solo drives me nuts and her rating The Mandalori... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

AHSOKA S2 Trailer, STARFIGHTER D23 Teaser, and Ewan McGregor Wants What?!
Q: What are your initial thoughts on the Ahsoka Season 2 trailer?
The panel generally found it big, cinematic, and emotionally resonant, with praise for Hayden Christensen's return and the Clone Wars–style emphasis, while noting some nitpicks about pacing and certain scene transitions.
Rey Skywalker Is Changing the Dogmatic Ways of the Jedi!
Q: Would you be cool with Rey turning to the dark side in the new movies?
The group generally rejects a full turn to the dark side for Rey, preferring her to stay on a heroic path and focusing on exploring her relationships and Jedi path instead.
Rey Skywalker Is Changing the Dogmatic Ways of the Jedi!
Q: What are midi-chlorians?
A host asks about midi-chlorians and the panel offers a basic discussion of the concept within Star Wars lore, including how they relate to understanding the Force.
I’m Just Maul! MAUL Shadow Lord Episodes 3 & 4 Spoiler Review & Discussion
Q: Who are we more likely to see from the Empire, Tarkin or Vader?
The group acknowledges Vader as a perennial wildcard who could steal focus, but they also consider Vader's potential impact if introduced too early, suggesting a balance between fan excitement and narrative tension. The consensus leans toward Vader as the more dramatic cross-over, while noting that overuse could overshadow Maul, so any appearance would need careful integration.
Grogu Had to Memorize ZERO Lines for 'The Mandalorian And Grogu'
Q: Will we see Ahsoka meet Luke in the live-action timeline, and how might that be shown?
They speculate it could happen in Ahsoka Season 2, possibly as a flashback or a scene where Anakin or Luke interact with Ahsoka, but it would likely be implied rather than shown explicitly in the current film run.
