The hosts always keep the show positive, which is so rare when listening to or reading comments about entertainment in general—especially those about Star Wars.
They are...”Read full review »

“As encompassing as the Saga itself may be, the current Disney canon and former EU—now Legends—will always be fertile ground for Star Wars enthusiasts. So sit back, relax with a drink of your choice (or go for a walk!), and let yourself digest insights into the written world of Star Wars and more!”
