The best Star Wars podcast out there

Whether a casual or die hard fan, this is the only Star Wars podcast you need. Alex and Mac are true fans that are passionate and share the excitement for the love of Star Wars but honest in their critiques which is refreshing. I’ve tried listening to other Star Wars podcasts out there but never connected with the hosts and just couldn’t listen but Alex and Mac are great. This is THE podcast and this is the way!

Keep the Watch!
