Each episode of this podcast can be considered a Thank You note to the Makers who brought Star Wars to life, an exploration of different aspects of the seemingly endless entertainment franchise that was started by George Lucas and/or a glimpse into the mind of a super fan who spends A LOT of time thinking and talking about that galaxy far, far away. There will be bits about politics and humor and movie stars and computer generated images and aliens and philosophies of wizard monks in space and a whole lot more. Heed Lando's advice and 'Buckle up!' because this is where the fun begins.

  3. The Star Wars Droids cartoon was more significant than many people think.

    The Star Wars Droids cartoon was more significant than many people think.

    The Star Wars Droids cartoon was released in 1985 and should get more credit than it does for what it has added to the Star Wars universe. From its episode structure and moral lessons to some of the designs for its characters, vehicles, and creatures. This show from the 1980s is worth watching at least twice.

    Andor Season 2 was unnecessary

    Andor Season 2 was one for the history books. It was nominated for many awards, won several of them, gave us incredible costumes, introduced us to many interesting characters, and was unnecessary. Listen to find out why I think that.

    I Finally Figured Out Why I Like Star Wars So Much

    This episode is an example of some of the randomness that occurs in my brain related to Star Wars. I watched a single scene from The Force Awakens and bunches and bunches of various nostalgic nuggets sprang forth. I wonder if something similar to this happens with other fans. Drop me a comment or a message to let me know. A HUGE thank you to everyone who has been watching, listening to, and sharing my show.

    Celebrating Star Wars Podcast Day 2025

    February 7th is Star Wars Podcast Day. It got its start back in 1999 when Jedi Talk launched its first episode. I am taking a few minutes to introduce new listeners to this show while also jumping into the world of YouTube videos. I guess this is where the fun begins...
