“Been a long time listening for over seven years back when you guys reviewed Clone Wars and you guys were my go to for Star Wars podcasting. I have nothing against you guys as you are entitled to your opinions but the latest podcast was bad. I feel like you guys talk about Star Wars in too much of a good light despite everyone knowing our current political climate has divided the fan base especially with The Last Jedi and it’s not what it once was. The hiring of Leslie is bad and you guys didn’t cover the part were she was Harvey Weinstein’s former personal assistant which is not a good fit for Star Wars if you checked her background you’d see what I’m talking about. As an African American listener I don’t need a group of white guys to preach to me during a podcast about diversity. You guys are what’s currently wrong with the fandom. A group of white ppl preaching to people of color about diversity when Star Wars ALWAYS had diversity. Not once as an African American have a watched something and said “Hmmm you know what this needs? Diversity!” I don’t care about color when it comes to characters. I relate to Superman and Batman and Luke Skywalker not cuz their white but because of character which is something I don’t think you guys care about anymore. It’s become apparent you guys just want to save face when it comes to Star Wars and you guys are the toxic fandom that has plagued Star Wars and are the racist. You don’t fight racism with racism like Disney has done for the past 6 years and it’s a shame. I’m prob around your guys age group and I can’t believe you fell for the trap that is the down fall of many franchises. Star Wars toy sales are down more than ever, we don’t get as many novels that impact the greater universe anymore and the movies always divide the fan base.
- Long time listener”
