    Steph and Ryan are the BEST
    Both of these hosts are so much fun, and so knowledgeable! Love how much energy they bring to the table, and it's so clear that they're passionate about Star Wars through and through.

    My favorite Star Wars Podcast Returns!!!
    I saw this pop up in my subscriptions like "what's that" and then realized it's the new version of Jedi Alliance! It's new hosts but their excitement towards the star wars franchise is addictive! So glad I have another go-to podcast with voices who love the content and don't constantly talk about all the negatives. We all know there's negatives; but I listen to podcasts to feel good and not be upset. Thanks Ryan and Steph! ALSO DANIEL ROEBUCK!!!!

    Unlistenable
    Turned meh when Joseph Scrimshaw left. Absolutely horrible since John Rocha left. Listen to Forcecenter and Collider's Jedi Council instead.
  • Ricky Mokel
    Heyooo
    Yeahhhh

    Great Team!
    With other podcasts about Star Wars around that are helmed by people who arent really into what theyre talking about or they are more geared to sounding like morning radio DJs this new team with Donica, Michael Young and Alexis Torres keeps me coming back to hear real people who really love Star Wars as much as me and others I geek out with. My only critique on the show is that it always seems shorter everytime. Id love it if they would extend it out if there is more to talk on that week. Thanks for the great work and I'm glad you have assembled a great team!

    My Go To On Everything Star Wars
    Besides a fun podcast, these guys have great chemistry and they know their Star Wars stuff from comics, books (Canon and Non-canon), toys, TV, and movies. Keep up the great job.

    Uninformed
    If you enjoy baseless speculation on old news despite the fact that they have a week to prepare their content this is the podcast for you! Examples: On 2/26/17 episode they gush about a petition for the Old Republic get to adapted to a Netflix series getting close to 200,000 signatures somehow inferring that amount of people signing it is significant when in fact Lucasfilm Storygroup member Pablo Hildalgo weeks prior on Twitter, had shot down the notion of the petition entirely saying that even 200,000 people showing interest in something isn't enough to warrant a book on the subject never-mind a Netflix series. The hosts are enthusiastic but they don't pay attention enough to actual news on and come off constantly uninformed. It's like if my 12 year old autistic cousin had a podcast. In that same episode, they go on about the Blu Ray of Rogue One having tons of special features but fail to mention that they are coming with ZERO deleted scenes. It's their job to report about what's going and don't tell the full story. It creates this false narrative of what's going on in the Star Wars world. If you want the current and actual news about the Star Wars Galaxy, find another Podcast. The 2 stars are for the memory of the great prior hosts that actually knew what was going on. This isn't the podcast you're looking for. Move along.

    Great news source, hard to listen to
    This podcast was gold back when the line-up consisted of the dynamic duo John Rocha and Mark B Donica. The new line-up now consists of lead podcaster Donica with Michael Young, and Alexis Torres. Sadly Rocha left the show, and around this time, Donica had announced some changes following an extended break. Picking up in the new year, the show has devolved from a once engaging news podcast into a slightly jumbled cluster of news segments and borderline obnoxious podcast personalities. After listening to this podcast for the better part of a year, I've listened as the discussion and recitation of news segments went from top quality to just satisfactory. I find one of the newest members to lack the maturity that one needs to conduct a podcast, often times talking over others and distracting the listener with unnecessary sometimes childish behavior. The other two members seem to stay on topic, and are dedicated to relevant discussions.

    The Prequels
    Hi! I have a question. As Star Wars, Do you like the prequels if you do or don't why? I get so much crap because I love the them just as much as the original, so I just wanted to understand why does no one like the prequels. I love Star Wars I love you guys, it's all incredible.
  • SpeedFails
    Great Star Wars Conversation
    They not only talk about current news in the star wars universe but bring in past ideas and subject matter that is very interesting for any star wars fan.
  • kasey12345
    AWESOME!!
    I love the format and all of the "new" hosts!! It brings alot of new perspective to an "old fogie"... I gre up on the original triliogy (saw them each numerous times in the theater!!)
  • DarthHarley
    Great Show
    I have listened since the first episode. The crew of the show has changed numerous times, but they still are entertaining and provides good Star Wars news.
  • Jedi Niac
    New crew, but awesomeness continues
    Knowledgeable, to the point, fast paced and fun. The only podcast that I won't skip ahead. All good.
  • MIsoldier0103
    Great
    Star Wars podcasts today are like those keurig cups, everyone makes one but they all seem to taste the same. Jedi Alliance really breaks the mold. While it's nice to have a famous guest star interview, JA really has become all about the community. Anyone can become engaged with the show and feel like they're taking their first steps in a larger universe. This is a show I really love watching/listening to when I want to become engaged with other fans easily unlike other podcasts that seem to pay just lip service to it. Keep up the great work!
  • Not an artist!!!!!
    Informative and entertaining!
    I try to watch the podcast on YouTube as much as I can because of the interactivity and their use of the live chat! But when I can't catch the show live, I love listening to the gang on my commute! I appreciate your efforts in trying to constantly improve the show, content, and as I stated before, the live interaction. Keep up the great work!
  • bankye3
    So good to middling
    Was so on board for so long including through the many host and format changes, but it has recently evolved (devolved?) in to essentially a bells and whistles entertainment tonight segment. Too bad.
  • Cd727
    Well, hello there.
    Darth Scrimshaw and Jedi Master Ken Nap Zok are true Star Wars nerds in the best sense of the word. Great show for any nerf herding smuggler to listen to while smoking a death stick, flying their Y-Wing, avoiding semi obscure bounty hunters like Dengar, and wondering if Ewoks really can blink. I left this comment because, as Luke Skywalker once said, "I care".
  • Winonaryderz
    ROCHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I was so so sad to hear Joseph was leaving, BUT if there was anyone who is worthy of replacing him then Rocha is the man! I can't wait to hear the next podcast with him as a host! Congrats brother!
  • Edgar Allan Poe Dameron
    The BEST
    As a kid born in the late 90s all I really saw was the prequels. So i grew up hating Star Wars. (Forgive Me) However when i discovered the OT i developed such a love for the greatest saga ever told and I've loved experiencing Star Wars with this show since the beginning. From Ken and Maude to Joseph and Mark this show is always filled with great people talkin about something they love.
  • jffhdgs1528
    The best Star Wars podcast!
    These guys are so positive and so upbeat about Star Wars and that's why I rated five stars. Other Star Wars podcasts are negative and all they do is whine and complain. It's a refreshing change to hear these guys stay positive and just enjoy talking about Star Wars. You can feel their passion about this property and how much they love it. It's a pleasure to listen to every week.
  • DarthRyano

    The Force Was Used To Make This Show
    I’ve been a huge fan of Star Wars since I was a kid. I’ve been listening to this show for over a year now, and it has been an intricate part in rekindling my love of Star Wars. The format of the show is well thought out. Ken is the best fan to make you relive all the things that make Star Wars great. Excited about Episode 7? Listen to this show and fuel your fandom. Nerd out with the host and his guests and embrace the force (dark or light… your choice). Thanks for being a fan, Ken. It’s a pleasure to listen to someone I can relate to and indulge myself with in such a great epic.
  • d0ughb0y129

  • chrs_mrgn
    Ken Rocks
    Ken is a true Star Wars fan. He and the guests really do like the material. He also gets guests that are fans of varying intensity. It’s not just a bunch of hardcore fans there are also more casual fans as well. Ken is a great host and keeps the show on track without being a stickler and is really natural.
  • Brock07
    I miss the Queen
    I miss Maude on the show, but I still give it five stars in memory of her time on the show.
  • Nodrogttam
    I just fished my Podcast Binge of JA

  • notpsustudent
    Star Wars Essential
    If you are a Star Wars fan put aside an hour each week and WATCH THIS SHOW (or listen). There are always new guests appearing or old favorites which really keeps things fresh every week and it is all anchored by the Pit Boss who exudes passion for Star Wars with every word he speaks. It never falls into endless praise or bickering but rather is a thoughtful analysis of Star Wars topics both old and new and the conversations always have such a chemistry. I was not a HUGE Star Wars fan before I made my way to this show via a link no the Movie Fights related videos but boy has that changed now! Cannot wait for the next episode guys and keep doing what you’re doing!
  • Darran_Hight
    Can't Get Enough
    My wife and I reently discovered Ken's show and we both enjoy it. I hope that Maude drops in from time to time :)
  • Taylor Ellrich
    Impressive.....most impressive
    This is easily the best Star Wars podcast on iTunes. Ken is the perfect host and the all the guests make for a fun and entertaining show. Although I do miss Maude, this podcast continues to be the best.
