A Star Wars podcast that doesn't make you feel bad for not being a Star Wars expert or for liking something others don't? That can't be right. Well, my little Suckulants, that's exactly what's happening here.
In this first episode, we meet the crew, discuss why we love Star Wars, what we will and won't be talking about, and give out our first homework assignment. We revisit iconic memories, like the buff aesthetics of Power of the Force action figures, and self-assess our Star Wars savvy, pinpointing where our force is strongest and where we might need more training.
Our debate on the binge vs. weekly release strategies of modern series like The Mandalorian and The Bad Batch might reshape your viewing habits.
Who is this podcast for? Anyone who wants to talk about and learn more about Star Wars without being judged. If you're a long-time fan or maybe just a little Swarsy Curious, this is your low-sodium Star Wars safe space.
