This is where the fun begins.

[@brettpenning]

Paul is that you?

[@Elman374]

"This stick is gonna last me all summer" That sentence brought back so many memories of my childhood😂 Crazy how time flies

[@acdragonrider]

Same. I always played with sticks when I was a kid

[@arvianworkshop7118]

I really wish longer video like this have timestamps 🤣

[@Neutr0n624]

They might go back and add them, since they normally have them on the BW Podcast if i'm not mistaken

[@SethGames20]

they did

[@parkermorgan6890]

It’s refreshing to have such a big fan of Star Wars like Eric having appreciation for the sequels.

[@joeylloyd1308]

Loved this, I want more, I just love seeing more people talking about star wars and their love of the franchise, please do more than just 1 a month this podcast is great!

[@BizarroPat345]

This was phenomenal guys. Just have a very levelheaded mindset talking about something that so many people blow out of proportion for clicks or to feel smarter. It’s hard to listen to SW podcasts when so many are so full of negativity but you guys are perfect people to talk about it

[@jlee995]

I'd love to see you guys get into The High Republic! It's such a cool and fresh era of SW

[@spiffysophical]

Is Calvin voicing Badonkagonk? 🤣🤣🤣

[@Ayreontasia]

RIP Colin Cantwell. I met him a few years ago in a convention and he was such a sweet, nice guy. He was so instrumental to the success of Star Wars and it's really sad that he seemingly does not get the recognition he deserves, not even a mention during Star Wars Celebration.

[@para_gospel8947]

Never knew they had legs, must have got that Maul hook up with the modders

[@codyt821]

😂😂😂😂

[@TheNinjaBees]

If you guys are interested in getting into the extended lore like books & comics. Would love to have some sort of book club situation with the podcast!

[@TheTrueCampor]

I'm super glad to see this. I've been a big Star Wars fan for a long time... A long time. I know the Star Wars fandom can get a little negative sometimes, but I just really enjoy watching fans be fans. Hope you guys have a great time running this!

[@Popped_In]

Badonkagonk looks like he could be named Frankengonk 😂😂 love to see a Star Wars podcast from you guys!! I'm looking forward to the future episodes!

[@Camhan]

STAR WARS podcat, thats what i need right now, thank u guys :) Will be following

[@mlgnerd13]

Gotta leave a comment for the algorithm. This was even better than I was expecting, very excited for more. I have the new Thrawn trilogy, so whenever they get around to it I'm ready to go

[@jacobtrost5048]

Nice to see a positive podcast about Star Wars. I feel like the fandom is so toxic whenever something new comes out. EVERYTHING is an "insult" to original Star Wars, it's so tiring to be a fan on the internet.

[@paidhits1037]

I enjoyed this very much. Another Favorite Obi-Wan moment of mine is in Revenge of the Sith, the final battle between him and Anakin. The whole back and forth, him trying to talk him out of his turn and only playing defense the whole fight. And ofc his emotional breakdown after he thinks he’s lead him to his death/killer him

[@ark804]

You would be wrong. I do not like Star Wars, not really my cup of tea. It's pretty boring to be honest, BUT as I comment quite a few times on this channel. Hearing you guys talk about Star Wars with so much enthusiasm, just makes me want to listen to you guys talk about Star Wars all day long. The excitement is really contagious, makes me want to maybe try watching the movies.

[@HenbraTV]

This was amazing! It would be cool, if you could change the background for every episode. Like this episode is Tatooine, next is Kamino after that Jakku. I think you get the idea. But again, great podcast. Love to talk about Star Wars.

[@nathanhills336]

PLEASE do more of these than once a month! I love watching your guys Star Wars reactions and seeing your discussions in those so being able to watch this has been a real treat. Loved the episode guys, can’t wait until the next one.

[@d.b.scoville]

Not a big Star Wars fan but I thought I’d drop in to give some love to my boy Grievous!

[@Shocktimus989]

This was a phenomenal watch/listen! Being able to hear very involved and detailed conversations about the galaxy far, far away that I only wish I could have with people I know without them being really lost or confused is a treat in of itself. Looking forward to all future installments of Badonkagonk!

[@dresdenwarlock7978]

The first time I saw the OT was on bits in pieces in the early 90s when SOMEHOW NBC was airing it through the week. My uncle's taped it all on cassette lol but I still didn't think much about it. Then the special editions came out when I was 10 and my mom took me to it and that was it, never looked back. I grew up out in farmland as well, but my grandpa built cedar patio furniture so I helped with that. In the middle of nowhere. So I can relate. When the special editions hit VHS I "borrowed" my friends stepdads copy for a year and a half, and I watched the entire trilogy at least once a day for a full year. '97 - '99 was such a goddamn magical time to be a star wars fan.

[@jessicas3231]

I really enjoyed this. I'm new to Star Wars and I loved hearing favorite moments and what to look for in the future. I've seen the movies but have just started Clone Wars & even only 2 seasons in, the depth it's provided for the characters is amazing. & am really appreciating the insight and tie ins. Giving me a great map!

[@Kevmaster2000]

6:51 I was born in 1999, and on May 25th, the true Star Wars day. 😊

[@Cheerios4u98]

I'm a Blind Wave fan specifically for the Star Wars content. This is fantastic. If you guys ever dip your toes into The High Republic I can't wait to hear your thoughts. As a lifelong Star Wars and Legends fan, The High Republic has been some of my favorite off-screen Star Wars of all time. Great episode guys, excited for more!

[@kyles2027]

Love the pod, love the set. Hoping for more than once a month in the future.

[@justingilmore123]

Really enjoyed this podcast! Your insights and thoughts about Star Wars have been a major part of why I love your channel and videos. Please do more than just once a month!!!

[@Macapta]

Shockingly good podcast. I can talk Star Wars forever so it’s fun hearing 2 people and who are as passionate about the franchise discuss it.

[@BrittonFilmmaker]

Had a real bummer of a day and this got me through the night. Great content! I didn’t picture myself being here for the podcast since I don’t follow the official one, but I’m so thankful I stopped in!

[@adrian09166]

It's finally here!! I can't wait to follow this journey

[@RuralRoar]

That's a fantastic looking set. I can't wait to watch/listen going forward.

[@tylerarvizu1492]

Loved it! Please make it a weekly podcast! Keep up the great work!!

[@floppsymoppsy5969]

This is a great idea! I was raised on Star Wars (I'm 42) but I'm just a casual fan who would love to stand on the shoulders of these 2 great fans and let them do all the work explaining to me all the stuff I don't know or plain don't get. ☺️

[@davidpallotti4502]

Love you guys, happy your doing this!

[@DiegoRodriguez-xu6du]

I loved this so much. Please keep making these podcasts. I enjoyed this whole podcast. You guys are awesome and Star Wars is awesome, so this truly the best.😊

[@ryanhumphries6162]

We will watch this career with great interest

[@danielpage1080]

I love hearing you guys talk abou Star wars, I didn't know about Colin Cantwell until a few years back when he just randomly started following me on my Lego Star wars Instagram, I was so hyped and was really sad to hear of his passing

[@thebrandonsalad]

Loving this podcast guys! I'm ready to become more star wars literate🔥

[@cinecho76]

Man... Once a month is not enough !!!!!! Keep up guys, love from France, and may the force be with you

[@somethingrandom5644]

I’ve been looking forward to this

[@Souliest1]

That was great! Thanks guys! I think twice a month would be a good release schedule. Also, on YT, having timestamps would be great.

[@jobuscuswafer1716]

This pod is such a good time

[@zelusamare]

YOOO FINALLY this is exactly what I’ve been waiting for >:)

[@mikhail2736]

I love this. The set, the vibes. All excellent

[@stndly2787]

[@Major98]

The more Star Wars the better! Star Wars is how I found this channel. Looking forward to more of this You should have a weekly or monthly segment dedicated to new Star Wars book/comic reviews

[@joshuaescobedo6354]

Catching up late on this and will probably never be able to catch this live on Twitch but definitely looking forward to the next one! Also, I've never read Brotherhood but will definitely be trying to read this before you guys discuss it.

[@adrian09166]

Excited for the monthly reading Star Wars assignments!

I sure do love these boys and their Star Wars opinions!

you guys are the best!

[@TheLoreSeeker]

I hadn't read that article about Kennedy saying that about Solo....Apparently it was this: For many, replacing Harrison Ford's Han Solo with another actor was too big a hurdle to overcome. For Kennedy, it was a lesson learned. "There should be moments along the way when you learn things," Kennedy said. "Now it does seem so abundantly clear that we can’t do that." Arguably....she's not saying "Alden was a mistake"...but moreso.... "It looks like recasting isn't a popular move with the fans." That being said...its still a bad take. The reason Solo bombed wasn't Alden... it was that they made it twice and doubled its budget.....and then released it 6-7 months before they should have.

[@markosmatrozos4175]

I really liked the podcast, I hope you make them more regular

[@jollyrayda]

"From a certain point of view" - the phrase that had the most influence on who I am as a person...

[@cheeseknees9606]

Get these up on Spotify so I can add them to my weekly work podcast schedule!

[@VictorySquadron]

Great job crew.

[@maxwhite7001]

how are you

[@ronndeezy5198]

the 8 hour long VHS tape with all the movies LMAOOOO im glad i wasnt the only one with that. Boy that brought back memories.

[@kR-qj7rw]

ONCE A MONTH? NOOOO THIS IS SOOOO GOOOD GUYS

[@KnightOwl1881]

This was fun!

[@Turnsy]

this podcast was so cool, this is where the fun begins!

[@paulmurphy4723]

i'd love to see you guys dive into tThe High Republic era. there's already a chunk of it but the next phase isn't til later this year so you could always catch up quite easily, with audiobooks & a Marvel Unlimited subscription, ngl...

[@alexm4163]

Absolutely loving this podcast! Is this going to be a weekly thing?

[@arvianworkshop7118]

I'm imagining there's gonna be guest, and hopefully we'll get Sam witwer here X'D

[@flex_luthor96]

Eric, it's the Trillium massacre that Finn mentions to Rey when him, Rey, Han, and Chewie are trying to escape the Rathtars. I will also add that the Second Sister, Trilla Suduri, is my favorite Inquisitor we have met thus far. I do really like Fifth Brother from an aesthetic standpoint. I hope we get more from Sung Kang as him in Kenobi.

[@mrwaverider5537]

Finally!!

[@al_alemania]

amazing podcast

[@DarkxSonxOfxDathomir]

I LOVE THIS

[@TheRustyReggie]

i love this keep this going BW much love from OZ

[@ItThatLed]

ngl, every time the gonk talked i jumped a little, keep thinking someone is outside my door yelling in lol

[@mikelcatalan4421]

First of all, love seeing you talk about Star wars. My main problem with the franchise as a whole is kind of like the negative side of the "one big mythology" Eric mentioned. Mostly, the fact that the franchise seems to use that as a crutch to attract people's attention by bringing old characters to new stuff that both overshadow whatever the new thing is doing and doesn't amount to much. For example, Mandalorian season 2 handled returning characters really well, meanwhile Book of Boba Fett kind of fell into that problem Another problem is the whole "using supplementary media to retroactively fix the holes in the movies"; don´t get me wrong, i love that the franchise can expand on some elements that weren´t adressed in too much detail, but i don´t like using that as an excuse to leave stuff that should be important to the instalment they were introduced in unadressed.

[@annaairahala9462]

I have to agree about Rogue one. I actually think it's one of the best star wars movies

[@kevinry4n]

This was awesome!!! Definitely my highlight of this week and we got Obi Wan Kenobi today! So much fun to watch, and the set looks insane

[@monkworm421]

The set has a Mystery Science Theater 3000 feel to it. Nice, nice

[@jessicawallhauser1839]

Best podcast to exist

[@kieranpukeke9743]

Started watching yous 2 weeks ago and have seen almost every video why did it take me so long to find yous arghhh LOL. Good job boys, ever thought about watching jj Abraham's fringe?

[@Nerdydude32]

Ohh Yeaahhhhhhh

[@calvinjohnson4172]

Honestly you guys are the reason ive gotten so into star wars....with that being said can we get a rick wrestling podcast

[@nicholasotto3282]

Rouge one is a masterpiece

[@kasiaszumniak9796]

I Hope, that we will see a special guest star Ricky Martin next time.

[@nicholascaldwell3396]

Don’t underestimate my power!!!

[@Feoktistovs]

Rogue One and Revenge of the Sith are probably my 2 Favourite Star Wars Films!

[@DatDudeJakeC]

Calvin just yelling GONK GONK GONK

[@APhipps]

Yesssss

[@jewrobot1705]

very cool

[@freerangegirl4457]

Sittin on my Badonkagonk slurping down content!

[@ConnerSims]

Ah, another podcast for my collection.

[@Ragnarok345]

Ya know…I always thought that about how Leia remembers her mother when she shouldn’t, too. Until recently when a new thought occurred to me. Does…does she know she’s adopted? I don’t think she does, right? We take it for granted that she’s talking about Padmé, since _we_ know that’s who her mom is, but…she’s probably talking about her _adoptive_ mother, Bail’s wife. Maybe….Queen? (Whatever her title was) Organa died of…I dunno, cancer, or some shit, when Leia was young. We don’t know, there’s nothing in current canon that I’m aware of that ever addresses her at all, apart from those couple of seconds where we see her first hold Leia when they adopt her. So that’s kinda my thought now, because it’s really the only thing that makes any sense, and doesn’t require an ounce of “fudging”, as Eric puts it. Update after watching Kenobi episodes 1 and 2: WEEEELLLLLLP. There goes that idea. 🤣

[@marcusMakoT]

Don't dismiss being a youth of the Prequels, Episode I was the first time I realized that KFC, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut were owned by the same people.
