    Honestly, I wanted a true review of the shows and content. However it seems like they are incapable of saying anything truly critical of any Star Wars Show or product. Most recently, Tales of the Underworld. Show was wildly underwhelming for want of could be but they just sand its praises. I get it, I love any and all Star Wars content but you have to admit it when something falls flat. If you can’t see that a show like The Acolyte is just a poorly executed show, you’re kinda blind.

  • Used to love this podcast

    Used to love this podcast but it got to political and they don’t seem to criticize any shows or movies. Sometimes things are good and sometimes they aren’t it doesn’t have to be political.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The SWU Podcast LIVE | 27/03/26
Q: What is the absolute worst order to introduce someone to Star Wars, and what would be the best starter today?
Opinions vary by person, but several hosts suggest avoiding starting with A New Hope for everyone, arguing that Andor and Rogue One offer a modern entry point that still connects to the broader saga, while The Mandalorian can work for some audiences; the best entry point depends on the learner's background and interests.
The SWU Podcast LIVE | 27/03/26
Q: Do you think Maul Shadow Lord is going to be a multi-season show or more of a mini-series that's one and done?
The podcast leans toward a multi-season arc, arguing that there is enough story on Maul's path and the wider Mandoverse to sustain several seasons, though there's room for shorter formats depending on narrative direction and reception.
The SWU Podcast LIVE | 03/04/26
Q: What are your final predictions/hope for Maul Shadowlord Season 1?
Predictions include Maul's life before the show, Ikodyo Daki dying early, and Kira re-emerging in Crimson Dawn, with lots of dramatic character evolution and a focus on Maul-Palpatine dynamics.
The SWU Podcast LIVE | 13/2/26
Q: What are your thoughts on the marketing strategies for The Mandalorian And Grogu?
The marketing was confusing and could have been handled better, suggesting future strategies should be clearer to fans.
The SWU Podcast LIVE | 13/2/26
Q: What was your reaction to the new Super Bowl TV spot?
It was underwhelming and anti-climactic as fans were expecting a full trailer but received a parody instead.
