Customer Reviews
The SWU is fantastic!
The show has always been good, but lately it’s firing on all cylinders! Adding Hannah to the cast was an excellent move. Sometimes I get concerned when a show’s lineup changes, but she’s done nothing but add to the dynamic (glad I finished that sentence). In the most recent episode in particular everyone was funny, and the camaraderie and chemistry were on fire! So the show just keeps getting better. Keep it up everyone!
Stop platforming hate
Your Facebook profile post often and the comment section is full of racist, sexist, homophobic and generally hateful comments. If you can block people making them, you are allowing the cesspool of hate to grow. Do better.
Was a loyal listener. Can’t support anymore.
Sigh. Used to be such a great show. All we wanted was fans coming together to talk about what we love: Star Wars. They just can’t seem to keep politics out of discussion, using memes and dialogue to alienate part of their fanbase. It’s just ridiculous. We want Star Wars talk to distract us from what’s going on. We don’t need to make fun of or anger fans who don’t agree with them politically. Too much for me. Do yourself a favor and unsubscribe too.
