  • Summary

  • Join our hosts Mikel Howarth and Alex Stewart as they traverse the Star Wars galaxy aboard the Raven V, a heavily modified transport vessel, helmed by their repurposed battle droid, C-B7. Our fearless hosts will spend each episode focusing on a single topic within the Star Wars universe. Be it In-Universe (Lightsabers, Sith Lords, Psychometry, etc.) or Out (George Lucas, Dave Filoni's cowboy hat, ILM, The Hero's Journey, etc.), Alex and Mikel approach the topics with a positive, fun, and thoughtful approach, all while trying to avoid Imperial notice. Along their journey through the galaxy they'll run into their fair share of friends, outlaws, and the occasional Imperial Blockade. So, tune in and be prepared for the wildest ride in the galaxy!

Fun for any Star Wars fan!

Two guys and a droid talk about what makes star wars great, some deep cuts with lore, and defunct midwestern buffet chains all in a cool in-universe setting that makes listens fun.
