In this week's podcast Tom and Drew discuss back up characters and what their role should be in Star Wars. Are they worth developing on their own? Do they offer something unique to the experience? Is there a point where we no longer need those characters? If you're a fan of the characters lurking in the background this might be the pod for you!

In this episode we discuss something far more serious than our normal topics. Tom and Drew tackle racism in Star Wars, both in Universe and the criticism the brand has received in the media. Do you have a different experience with Star Wars? If so, we'd love to hear about it! Please email us at:

This week Tom and Drew discuss yet another email submission from Master Winkle. This, of course, leads to a tangent about Anakin Skywalker and whether he ever stood a chance against fate. Tune in and listen to two people who absolutely disagree about this topic. 

In this brief follow up to our Rogue One second episode Drew espouses on his dislike for the characters of Han Solo and Finn (FN-2817). He takes some shots at Harrison Ford and John Boyega and generally tells them where they can put their unhappiness with Star Wars. Tune in for a special Audio treat!!

In our most recent episode, HAPPY NEW YEAR!, Tom and Drew finish their discussion on Rogue One. The topic today focuses on Chirrut Imwe and his impact on how people see the Force. 

Enjoy!

In this jam packed episode the hosts bring you a discussion about the first Star Wars Story: Rogue One! A wonderful film that brings an entirely new feeling to Star Wars, Rogue One tells the tales of the heroic rebels that track down the plans for the Death Star and its fatal flaw.

In our 10th episode Tom and Drew discuss the new Boba Fett documentary on Disney+. Rogue One makes an appearance and a quick discussion about the new Andor series. The crew discusses how people in Star Wars send messages to one another via the HoloNet and why Bounty Hunters may not be the fun loving neighborhood friendly folk they appear to be. 

Tom and Drew jump right into Full Metal Alchemist's second episode, the First Day. We discuss the continuing journey of Edward and Alphonse Elric to recover their bodies and discover the power of the mysterious Philosopher's Stone!

A Historic podcast this week! We answer our first Listener-submitted-question and discuss whether or not Star Wars is made for kids. Tom and Drew go back and forth on what makes a story for children and why Star Wars may not share those same traits.

We loved hearing and thinking about this first question and we hope that there are many more!

In this episode Tom and Drew dive into the Japanese anime show Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood! Drew accidentally spoils some info which rankles Tom somewhat, but they work it out. Join us for an introduction to a wonderful show, a brand new topic and, as always, a mediocre conversation!
