    Greatest Star Wars Podcast Ever
    Very well versed in the subject, but never pretentious. Light hearted and quite funny, they investigate the sources and styles of past and present Star Wars films and Television shows.

    Good
    They are very good at discussing current Star Wars material- they actually like Star Wars but without fawning loyalty. But the strength of the show is when they discuss source materials, inspiration, and related films. Funny and informative.

    Never miss an episode
    Found this podcast from listening to another Star Wars podcast. Now I never miss an episode. Love the great questions they ask their guests. This is my go to podcast to learn something new about Star Wars.

    Moving on
    I began listening to this is cast from the beginning. It has been quite good until late 2018 when United States politics entered the scene. Politics and religion should be discussed on those respective platforms. It’s particularly foolish to make comments well outside of their collective knowledge base. My experience is that once a podcast breaches the fourth wall, it rarely recovers its past glory. As the clerk as the counter says...”Next!”

  • Charles Westcott
    Fantastic variety
    This is a new discovery for us, but it obviously has a great back catalogue of shows which we have been listening to. Natural, well informed and fun! We really enjoy how they explore exterior influences on Star Wars. Great show! Pat & Charles ConverSWations Podcast

    Great stuff
    This is the only Star Wars podcast I regularly listen to. The guys are relentlessly positive and have a great attention to detail without ever getting lost in the weeds. If you’re sick and tired of hearing people endlessly complain about these movies, Baz and Rohan’s enthusiasm for all the tiny details of the history of Star Wars is the perfect antidote.

    Stellar podcast.
    Really really enjoy the show. I’m a big fan of Star Wars behind the scenes. Has anyone ever told you that the intro music sounds like a mix between the guy that made the soundtrack for Age of Empires and Moby? It hits me in the 90s feels.

    Excellent and engaging
    I don’t listen to Star Wars podcasts/in depth info often, but when I do this is where I go. These guys are passionate about Star Wars but are objective in their discussions about all things Star Wars. Great podcast!

    One of the best Star Wars podcast
    Just what it says on the tin - one of the most informative and fun Star Wars podcasts.

    One of my favorite shows
    Baz and Rohan share my deep love for the world Lucas has created, and bring extra joy by diving in deep without religiously sucking the fun out of it. I love the context the provide around Star Wars’ social commentary. Best logo design of any podcast.

    Informative Fun
    This has quickly become my new favorite Star Wars podcast. The hosts discuss the recent Star Wars news in a fun and informative way and dive deep into a new topic each week. It's very well produced with film clips and researched articles and I feel like I learn something new each time I listen and I'm pretty up on my Star Wars facts. The hosts strike a good balance between taking Star Wars very seriously and enjoying the sillier aspects of the franchise. The link between IMAX and the origins of The Force they talked about this week blew my mind. Highly recommended.

    Informed and Intelligent
    These guys are great! They come prepared, know their stuff and are professional yet they still retain the vibe of listening to old friends. Their take on Star Wars isn't bogged down by endless canon or non-canon minutiae. Rather they explore all the different real world factors that influenced the 40 year old saga. Check out their website to get a sample of what's it all about.
