The best Star Wars podcast in the galaxy!

I only got into podcasts a couple of years ago and stumbled across the SWU when browsing through my podcast player. I grew up on Star Wars and I needed something to listen to while walking my dogs so thought I’d give the SWU a try. Since then I have been hooked on the show, often making my walks longer so I can listen to more of the show! I particularly enjoy the episodes where Ben, Chris and Dom review and discuss the latest Star Wars releases- from each new feature film to new episodes of the Mandalorian. The SWU podcast network helped make 2020 a lot more bearable, so thanks a lot for keeping the show going to the same great standards in these difficult times. If you are looking for some Star Wars content to listen to, look no further than the SWU!

Extremely good podcast

By far the best SW podcast available, very thorough breakdown of everything that's happening in or favourite galaxy far far away.

Such a shame

It is such a shame that the SWU podcast has slowly descended into a platform of negativity and critique.

I have been listening to the cast for years and it has been one of only 5 stations that I subscribe to...this is until today.

Having waited patiently for today’s podcast, I was excited to finally listen to it on my way to work. The excitement died and despondency grew.

Man, you guys are proper Joy-Killers! 😔

The reason I have followed the SWU podcast for all of these years is because I really value your collective insight, knowledge and passion for all things Star Wars.

However, of late, you have chosen to use your wealth of knowledge to find evidence to continuously castigate the fantastic TV that is Star Wars: Rebels.

Can you not see how lucky we are to have such a brilliantly produced, animated and written TV show in our lives?

Lately I have found your expectations are arrogant and petulant, this leaves your communication lop-sided and results in a depressingly and whiny tantrum-fuelled critique. It also leave us, your listeners, feeling so disconnected, especially those that want to feel like they got at least one other person on the team totally to join them in celebration.

Having claimed to understand what it means to bring true balance to force, it puzzles me why you are choosing this path.

I hope I have been constructive with opinions. I really do hope that you guys end on a high.

For now, I have removed my 5 stars and given you 2.

‘You were here to bring balance to the force, not leave it in darkness’
