Friends of the Force: A Star Wars Podcast

Join host Brad Whipple (@bradwhipple) as he sits down with Mat & Sean (@FirstToLastPod) from Blue Bantha Milk Co. (@BlueBanthaMilk). On Episode 17, we discuss the legacy of the Jedi and the Sith. The Jedi were notorious for saying they were peacekeepers but seemingly took the role of soldiers. Were they wrong? Was Luke correct in saying it was hubris that allowed the Sith to rise? The answer might shock you!! (It's yes... the answer is yes).

Join host Brad Whipple (@bradwhipple) as he sits down with Charlotte (@crerrity) and Caitlin (@caitlinplesher), hosts of Skytalkers Podcast (@skytalkerspod). They each open up about when they first discovered Star Wars and what led them to starting the podcast in January 2017 and how it quickly grew a large following. We also discuss what Star Wars has meant to their friendship and in their personal lives. Plus, some rapid fire questions such as what would Rey and Kylo have for dinner during a night out?? 

“From A Certain Point Of View” is a series in which I interview fans, friends, podcasters, authors, actors, and content creators in the Star Wars community to learn, from a certain point of view, what Star Wars means to them and how it has impacted their life. Is there someone you want to see on the series? Send me an email, and I'll do my best to get them on the show!

Join host Brad Whipple (@bradwhipple) as he sits down with Scotty (@TheScottJayro) and Gerry (@thecanonjunkie), hosts of The Bombadcast (@bombadcast). We dive into our experiences getting introduced to the prequel trilogy when The Phantom Menace released in 1999 and what it was like growing up in that era of Star Wars—among other things, the trailers were FANTASTIC. We also address some of the unwarranted hate the prequels received throughout time and how that perception has changed since among the fandom. Plus, we list our favorite moments from each film and our favorite musical themes! It's gonna be BOMBAD.

On this bonus episode of Friends of the Force, host Brad Whipple reacts to the most recent trailer for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker that premiered on D23 and went public on Good Morning America on Monday morning. Holy hell, this trailer shook me to my core and I'm still reeling from it emotionally. Strap yourselves in, folks...

Brad and Sarah break down all the news from this weekend's D23 Expo in Anaheim, CA: a new trailer for The Mandalorian, Ewan McGregor is officially returning as Kenobi, and the new poster for The Rise of Skywalker is jaw-dropping. Plus, some footage was unveiled at the Walt Disney Projects panel that featured a "dark Rey" holding a double-bladed red lightsaber and we're losing our god damned minds!

Join host Brad Whipple (@bradwhipple) as he sits down with Laura (@ShutUp_Laura) and Alyce (@sLeiaAllDay), the hosts of Force Toast: A Star Wars Happy Hour (@forcetoastpod). As Alyce cracks open canned wine, I drink an entire bottle, and Laura takes NyQuil shots, we talk about the latest trailer for Resistance: Season 2 and speculate how long Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker will be, all based on recent comments by Don Williams that John has recorded 2hr and 15min of music. We gush over the recent reports about an imminent Obi-Wan series (MAKE IT HAPPEN LUCASFILM), which is expected to be announced at the Disney+ panel at D23 on Friday. Also, what do we expect for TROS coverage this weekend? To wrap up the show, we get into some shenanigans and compete in some Star Wars trivia! #JohnaldWilliams
