Outer Rim Beacon A Star Wars Podcast

This was my first podcast to try in probably over a decade, starting earlier this year, and I've really enjoyed it ever since starting it. The friendly banter between the hosts is a lot of fun. Christopher's flipflop on Episode IX though was worse than a politician changing positions when seeking re-election. Though his love for all things Star Wars, including the Holiday Special and Extended Universe/Legends, is really shown and heard. (How many days until Celebration?) Josh knows that it's pronounced AT-AT, and not AT-AT. He's also a John Williams 1%. (Pushes glasses up.) Justin would probably be found working the Canto Bight gift shop, either buying all the collectibles before they hit the shelves, or making it have the highest sales of any gift shop ever. Kyle still seems to be consistent on his feelings about a certain bounty hunter of ages past, and...maybe present? I appreciate his love of The Clone Wars series. Maggie is the newest host on the show since my first review, and her feelings about Episode IX have been rock solid I think since the first (and last, and only?) time she saw it, and she is probably watching Rogue One as I'm typing this. This is the way. I do like how they try to give shout outs to the Star Wars makers community and have browsed and bought from some (at least one) of the ones they've mentioned. Just a fair warning: They're pretty big Star Wars collectors, and if you have gotten away from collecting over the years if you grew up with Star Wars from the 70s/80s/90s and on and feel good about not collecting now, this might lead you down a dark path back to collecting when you hear what they get each week/month. Thanks for having such a fun podcast, and may the Force be with you all! Also, I would like to close this review, and just say that Boba Fett is not dead....(This was posted originally back in April 2020, and I just updated a few parts, but the Boba Fett part was in my original review....) Chut-chut, Star Wars Friends!

Star Wars has always been about stories of found family, of misfits choosing to band together. This is why I’m so happy to have joined the Star Wars Friends. I joined up when Steven Ray Morris did a guest spot and I’ve been fan ever since. I’m so happy to have found a place that is committed to fostering inclusivity which is so important to me as a queer fan of Star Wars. I look forward to spending more time chatting Star Wars with you guys!

This podcast is by people who love Star Wars and it fully comes though. They are the type of fellow fans you’d love to sit in the cantina with and swap stories with honestly. Covering all facets of our beloved galaxy far far away but always with love, positivity, and inclusion. I’m thankful to have found them.
