Join us on a journey as we take the hyperspace lanes out of a galaxy far, far away and into other movies, finding all the ways George Lucas' flagship franchise surrounds us, binds us, and penetrates us.

Delightful

As an outsider to this fandom, I wasn’t able to follow every reference, yet still enjoyed the content immensely. Sam is an intelligent, articulate, and incredibly entertaining host. Can’t wait for more!

Unbelievably Bad!!

I’ve listened to a lot of StarWars podcasts
and this is by far one of the worst ones I’ve heard.
Did you guys even prepare for this?
