Long time listener; first time commentator. I appreciated your thoughtful conversation on Star Wars and politics. I needed this kind of analysis post election. Star Wars is art and helps us see our reality. Star Wars IS about politics and power. Also appreciate Bryan’s historical context perspective of the late 90s and 00s. Always, always love Holly. ❤️

So, I’ll be honest, I subscribed to the Pod a long time ago, listened once or twice then stopped for no reason. No idea why. I love Star Wars and learning and hearing about SW. I subbed to so many pods this got lost in the mix. Whatever, anyway, I’m like OK let’s listen to someone talk about SW. So I start up the episode about season finale of Acolyte. And omg, I’m 7mins in and this dude legit just said THE LAST JEDI is BETTER than EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. Holy $@$!!! I stopped the pod immediately to write and review this. You really are full of Sith. I’m sorry I never really listened to your podcasts. I wish I would’ve because then I wouldnt have wasted my time today. For sure I would’ve just unsubbed years ago after TLJ came out because I have no doubt that you were saying the same thing back then. Get some help. Good luck. Good bye. MTFBWY.

Not good anymore!!! Been listening to this podcast for like 10+ years and was very openly informative for the entire Star Wars fan base . However once Mike left the shows been less about the fans and more about how do we stay on Disney and Lucasfilms good side.

I barely made it through two episodes and between boring ranting, Disney shilling, and non-based takes I completely lost interest. If you’re looking for lore centered takes and insights steer clear of this pod. I don’t like the Acolyte because it’s a bad Star Wars show/story not because of who they casted despite the perspective and obvious political leanings of these two. Just not worth your time, the Force is not strong here.

Came back to this podcast after not being into Star Wars for several years. It’s still great! I’m enjoying the Acolyte discussion.

Honestly loved this show when I discovered it during Covid. Worked my way through the whole backlog and have been current since. This last weeks episode however really rubbed me the wrong way . Whilst claiming not to paint people with a broad brush they explain that if you don't like acolyte you're divorced from the fandom, a closet bigot, or not smart enough to watch critically as "engaged audience members". Seems extremely holier then thou to me, I'm very liberal and have 0 race issues and honestly I don't like this show at all. Not because of the two mothers thing....not because of a black protagonist it's because it's flat, the dialogue is lacking, doesn't feel too original in the slightest even the cgi is nothing special. In short it fails to have me itching for the next installment. My problem isn't with you guys (Bryan & Holly) liking the show, my problem is with you perhaps failing to see that some of us don't like it for reasons that have nothing to do with politics or intellectual incapability. Also previously Ive had to sit there and listen to you guys defend the last Jedi like it was a masterpiece and anyone who didn't like it didn't get it, wasn't a real fan etc. Instead, have you maybe considered that some truly disagreed with the character choices made or the idiotic subplot. Feels like you guys are kind of out of touch with normal people at this point, you shouldn't have to convince 80 percent of people something's good or then insult us for not liking it. That being said, I won't hate rate this show a one star as I really do enjoy the twos banter and constant film reference that help to give context too and highlight homages and influences into the Star Wars universe. They have some fantastic interviews in the backlog that are so awesome to listen to as well. The OG crew with the mike pilot was alot of fun and through the years they've had amazing guests! Definitely worth listening to. I do have one more complaint to lodge. No one wants to hear about how hard it is to do all your Star Wars fan traveling going on Star cruises or multiple visits to the theme parks as well as celebration events. There have been multiple episodes in that vain and it drives me crazy most people can't even make it to galaxies edge once let alone getting time in the cantina. So yea, I'm probably not the only one who finds Bryan to be dismissive belittling and arrogant, I honestly think this show would be better with Mike and Holly. I know they probably don't even read these reviews but on the off chance you guys do maybe get some humility going Bryan.....

Listen to one episode and very little Star Wars talk. Talked about Wonder Woman , female host played a game with husband. I was looking for something about the topic. Just lost a listener with the babel.

Over 10 years and still going strong. This podcast rocks! They embrace all aspects of Star Wars and are welcoming and accepting. This is how fandom should be.

Great show, I appreciate all the interviews! So many shows will catch authors when a book comes out (and FoS does too) but Full of Sith will also have random episodes with Jim Cummings or Sam Witwer out of the blue! Definitely worth keeping in your playlist to see who they interview next.

Full of Sith podcast has been in my podcast playlist nearly from their start ... from Mike Bryan ‘n Concetta ... Over Nine (Ten in ‘22) then came Bobby Roberts 😍 (Miss him) then Amy (also Miss her)... Miss Holly ‘n Bryan with Tha Mike ! Nowadays ForceGhost Mike with Miss Holly ‘n Bryan ! Fully Recommended Listenin’ by me Ruralfarmboy

I am a fanatic Star Wars fan and I love the podcast so much. I love the amazing space it makes where everyone’s point of view on every subject in Star Wars feels valued. It is a place where we can set aside the our troubles and quarrels and just focus on this one wonderful thing that we all love. In the end we’re all Star Wars fans and we should focus on that. After all you focus determines your reality. May the force be with y’all, always.

Bryan and Holly make me feel at home and part of the fun. Excellent off the cuff entertainment and a wild laugh fest most episodes. A loose more free form type of show but truly Star Wars to its core. Highly recommend this and very proud to be a fan for so many years.

I am a regular listener of at least 10 different Star Wars podcasts and this one is unquestionably the best. Bryan and Holly always have positive and original opinions, and their discussions are a pleasure to listen to. Every podcast is an adventure that’ll leave you feeling excited and informed. I’ll never miss an episode. Garrett

I love full of sith and all their content and I highly recommend it 5stars out of 5

I don’t have many friends that are into to Star Wars and it’s extremely satisfying to be apart of such intellectual Star Wars conventions beyond just the mainstream Star Wars knowledge everyone talks about. Such fulfilling content.

And thus anything that involves him will be subpar. This person blocks people on social media for simply having a different view of things. Downright pathetic. I feel bad for his cohosts.

Great show with variety topics. Always positive but honest in depth conversations.

Variety of topics and guests, thoughtful talks, and dives into the fandom without getting caught up in the twitterverse

All lives matter

Has open what the movies truly means but still good humor by the hosts.

Love to listen to Bryan and Holly chat about Star Wars; the greatest franchise ever! Truly appreciate their optimism about, debatably, the most controversial series ever! They dissect everything in an entertaining and thought provoking way! Love this podcast! Check it out! May the Force be with you!

Mike Pilot! Thank you for all the wonderful things you said about Rise of Skywalker! Also, I enjoy listening to this podcast! Thank you for this podcast!

I see quite a few reviews for Full of Sith from people who disliked TLJ and people who don’t want politics or ‘social justice’ to be a part of Star Wars. Even though I am giving Full of Sith a 3-star review I am not one of those people. I loved TLJ and I embrace the political commentary that has always been a part of Star Wars. I’ve been listening to Full of Sith for a few years and I believe that they do an excellent job reporting all the news in the Star Wars universe. They get some excellent interview subjects as well. They are very knowledgeable about Star Wars and discuss some truly esoteric details about the galaxy far, far away. I appreciate that Bryan has a love of cinema and his love of filmmaking benefits many discussions on the show. There are two reasons this is a 3-star review. The first is because Full of Sith has been so successful they have a lot of connections and access to people who are Star Wars creators in one way or another. I think their close ties to creators has resulted in a podcast that is too much cheerleading, a sort of unofficial promotional vehicle for Star Wars. This is a knife that can cut both ways, because their access to people and events can lead to cool reporting and interviews. On the other side of the coin, it has resulted in commentary that is repetitive because you know they are going to uncritically love everything 100% of the time. The second reason this is a 3-star review is because I’ve been disappointed with the lack of depth they bring to their story analysis. Despite Bryan's love of cinema, as a group they don't bring much analysis or understanding to narrative, storytelling, characterization, and thematic elements. In addition, Holly refuses to speculate on any story points, which stops any conversation dead in its tracks. In the end, each movie review is glowing with heaps of praise and based on a shallow surface read of the content. Thankfully there are other fantastic podcasts that bring deep story analysis to Star Wars content. There is still value here and it is still a fairly good Star Wars podcast.

These two have such a special way of keeping things positive and fun and finding the good in even the not-so-good parts of Star Wars, which after all, should be a thing to have fun with, even if there are movie decisions you don’t agree with. They have really interesting conversations about gaps in the story or the unexplored deeper meaning of certain things. I love listening, it’s really everything I would look for in a podcast about my beloved Star Wars.

Great info. I enjoy your commentary. I however did not like the last Jedi but it’s not a big deal I still love Star Wars and I know there will be good movies coming out later. I must say that I do believe that Disney did have an agenda to get rid of the classic characters as quickly as possible I guess in their eyes that was the only way to truly own the franchise. Really miss Mike on the show

This show is absolutely amazing. I love Bryan and Holly, and would die defending Holly's droids. I grew up on clone wars, and love the sequel trilogy. These wonderful people (yes even you Holly) always make my day so much brighter. They inspired me to make my own Star Wars podcast (The Rebellion Report, available on itunes and apple podcasts) and continue to make my love for Star Wars even more. Keep up the good work.

I used to really enjoy their discussions and their points of view but over the past year and a half the group seems to belittle those who have criticized Star Wars or have concerns with the direction it’s going in. It’s made it feel as if you’re not welcome if you disagree with them unfortunately. They do get along well as a group and their camaraderie can be fun to listen too as well. I think they can point out details that others might have missed and they have access to some cool information at times, but overall they aren’t for me anymore.

I’ve had enough with one of the hosts constantly laughing their own useless, empty comments and adding nothing of substance to discussion. I cannot listen anymore. Cancelling my subscription 👎🏻

Simply put, the hosts of Full of Sith are the most informed, non-judgmental, passionate, and entertaining group of Star Wars fans out there right now. Every episode is a Wookiee-sized portion of deep knowledge and shared joy for our favorite galaxy far, far away. Drop everything, grab a tall glass of blue milk and hardwire this podcast into your earholes — it’s well worth it.

Love you guys, thank you for your Star Wars positivity. I’m an original generation fan and was 5 when episode 4 came out. I’m a lover of all things Star Wars and have not seen one thing Star Wars I don’t like. I approach every Star Wars Story like I’m gonna sit back and go on this adventure with them. And I’ve seen everything from movies to animation. I think the key for me is watching Star Wars with no expectation of my own. I just want the adventure of it all

Bryan is very arrogant and a know it all. He also provides so called facts to rumors that are nowhere remotely true. I think Disney has done some great things with the franchise but there are some things they’ve done that I and many others don’t agree with.! He thinks Disney can do no wrong with the franchise and if anyone disagrees with him, he belittled them and makes fun of them. I believe he is too afraid to criticize the franchise because he writes for starwars.com. So if you do listen, take EVERYTHING he says with a grain of salt. That said, I absolutely love Mike. He provides great insight and he seems like a cool dude. It’s easy for him to see both sides of an argument and he doesn’t bash people if they disagree with him I didn’t mention their other co host Holly but I don’t feel like dragging on this review any longer as she is the worst part of this show. Do yourself a favor and look for other SW podcasts.

I watched the “rumors” episode and thought the male host was a bit ignorant considering a good portion of the rumors he was discussing have actually been proven true. Yet he would make fun of and or belittle those who believe in said rumors that ended up being true. Seems a bit elitist and a tad bit of a gatekeeper but the topics are interesting the the conversations for the most part are engaging.

First of all I think all three of the hosts are likely really nice people who I’d love to hang out with. Their enthusiasm and knowledge is genuine and legit, but unfortunately their radio presence and the tangents they sometimes go on really drag the show down at times. When Mike is on things usually flow a bit more smoothly. Even though he doesn’t talk as much as Bryan or Holly, he’s very good at adding quips and providing imagery to fill out what the other two are saying. He’s also the most skilled at controlling the flow of the conversation. Unfortunately, due to health issues, Mike has been out far more than he’s been in recently. Holly seems awesome and like she’d be a blast to hang out with. Her laughing at nothing constantly took a while to get used to, but now I love it. I definitely don’t want to be “that guy” and suggest to someone that they keep their laughter in check, because we definitely need more laughter in the world. I guess most of my issues with the show come from Bryan. He’s clearly a shill, but I don’t necessarily see that as a bad thing. Sometimes yeah, but other times I appreciate his unabashed positivity at a time when the fandom needs it. My issue with Bryan is that he claims often that the reason he watches movies is to gain empathy, yet he has absolutely none for actual living people who don’t share his views. He goes on and on and on about how he doesn’t understand why certain people feel less than thrilled about certain areas of Star Wars. He talks himself into these thought loops that the co-hosts can’t follow, so they’re left saying things like “yeeaaaahh” and “hmmmm” all the time. Listening to Bryan get lost in his own thoughts does not make for a compelling show. I can feel Holly’s frustration with him at times as well, and I feel for her. She tries to steer him back to some semblance of a normal conversation, but he jumps right back down that hole. That’s why they really need Mike in there to mitigate. Also, good riddance to Bobby Roberts. Sorry to be mean, but that guy is a jerk of the highest order. He’s been nothing but an a-hole to me whenever we’ve interacted on various message boards in the past. I hope he’s gone for good. He hijacks any show he’s on anyways.

I like this show, especially when all three hosts are there. I also really enjoy guest they bring in. Only thing I don’t enjoy is when it seems to spend time dragging folks who may not like a particular piece of Star Wars. There are some bad faith Star Wars fans, but not everyone needs to love every facet, and sometimes I feel like the show is harsh on those that might not like certain bits. That is a lot of space to a complaint, but I really do like the show a great deal!

The discussions and topics are pretty good BUT...the 2 hosts have terrible verbal crutches that make it unlistenable. Bryan begins every other sentence with “Yea, no...” and Holly nervously laughs at the end of her speaking. She laughs at things that aren’t even meant to be funny. Just awkward laughter. Both of these crutches that the hosts use make the podcast unlistenable and extremely distracting. Their knowledge of Star Wars is great but they need to “air check” themselves to become better broadcasters. After about a year of trying to listen, I’ll pass on this podcast. There are far more professional sounding Star Wars podcasts out there.

Great SW show! Answers questions you didn’t know you had. And, you get to know the hosts so well they feel like your friends. Plus, they’re great at interacting with the guests and fans!!

This podcast was good and fun until you realized that everything they talk about has a social issue pinned in somehow. I listen to Star Wars podcasts and revel in the fandom to get away from the craziness of the real world and this podcast just wants to throw Star Wars into the thick of it. Pulling issues out of thin air, alienating part of the fan base. My recommendation, stay away from this one. I followed them for a while and tried to put up with it but wound up emailing them offering my opinions on how they are ruining Star Wars and the fandom by making it about social issues that aren’t there and they didn’t even reply back to me. I subsequently unsubscribed. I recently resubscribed to see how the pod was doing and they are just as bad if not worse than they were. Sorry guys nothing personal, I just don’t like how you go about looking at Star Wars through a social justice looking glass.

What can I say, Full of Sith is an awesome podcast for any Star Wars fan. It's the great hosts and great content that will keep you coming back for more each and every time! - Recommended by @starwarstime

Here's the thing - this is a good podcast (hence the 4-star rating). It's typically one of the most insightful SW podcasts around and I try and listen to every episode. Having said that, there are two things that grate my nerves on almost every listen. First, Bryan is ALWAYS right, at least he thinks he is. Although he's obviously very passionate and informed, often times he's way too bullish in the way he goes about it. Second, the female host is really annoying. And I know that sounds harsh, but her voice is horrendous. Like terrible. But again, the show gets a high rating despite these two persistent issues, which is a tribute to the planning, knowledge, and guests that appear.

This was once an interesting and insightful podcast, but for the past year it has gotten steadily worse. Their topic selection has been weird, and their tangents have been downright bizarre (a recent episode featured a 10 minute discussion on which obscure characters they would like to see printed on a dress). Mike and Holly are enjoyable, usually. Bryan used to be worth listening to for his knowledge of the Star Wars universe, but he has become so pretentious that I couldn’t take it anymore. I kept giving the show a chance, remembering how good it used to be, but finally unsubscribed after their “One Year of the Last Jedi” episode, in which they opened talking about how they were going to focus on positivity, and ended up spending a good portion of the show trashing people that didn’t like the movie. It was actually painful to listen to, mostly because that’s all they’ve been doing for a while now. They have a weekly show, but rarely do they say anything new anymore. They pretend to be openminded and thoughtful (and probably believe they are) but are actually very closed to opinions that do not fall into a narrowly defined viewpoint. Sorry Full of Sith, you used to be good. I really hope you stop believing your own hype, and take a good, long, hard look at your show. I’ll look in on you in a year and see how you’re doing.

I love this podcast! Been listening for about a year and I always look forward to listening every week; keep it up!

Love the super-knowledgeable hosts and the wide-range of SW topics. A podcast I always look forward to!

Its not a bad podcast. These are Star Wars fans talking about Star Wars but unfortunately arent willing to look at it with a critical eye. Like at all. Which makes for bad conversation when they are trying to refute peoples displeasure with The Last Jedi but arent willing to actually listen to the criticism. I also feel like the conversation is usually very shallow and topics devolve to “its amazing” “its lovely” “its heaven” or “it made me cry for the fortieth time”. I like to go a little deeper into my Star Wars, however, if you just want your love of Star Wars to be positively reinforced this is probably the podcast for you.

I love Star Wars but can’t keep up with everything the way I used to. This podcast is wonderful for keeping up to date on the latest coolness. The hosts are lovely and very experienced researchers, so their criticism and analysis on Star Wars is a real delight.

Mike the Pilot, Bryan Young and Holly Frey bring a deep authentic love of Star Wars. Their differing points of view often lead to thoughtful discussions that challenge the way you understand the galaxy. This is a great podcast to stay up-to-date on Star Wars news! They have excellent connections to get the best interviews! They are a great podcast for every generation as they foster an acceting, inclusive community!

Mike, Holly and Bryan - Dream podcast team!!! thank you all for what you do.

This podcast is like if the Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons was PC. The hosts know what they’re talking about when it comes to Star Wars but it seems like every two episodes they start bringing up some sort of political crusade that loosely connects to Star Wars. Pretty insufferable when they do that.

Boring podcast. Comes across poorly toward fans that don't have his political point of view. Very condesending! I would go as far as to say toxic! Often makes back handed comments. They seems to tow the company line. Do not seem to offer alternate points of view. Most of all, it is just plan boring. Keep Bobby off. The guy is toxic,and loves the sound of his own voice way to much!

I found this podcast just after The Force Awakens came out and I have been listening every week for nearly 3 years now. I eagerly anticipate the insightful conversations between Tha Mike Pilot, Bryan Young, and Holly Frey ... thankful for their positive outlook and perspectives that have occasionally encouraged me to look at the films and other media through a different lens. All in all, I feel this podcast has enriched my Star Wars fandom and I’m thankful to have it as a long time part of my life, past, present and in the future. Always recommended.

Used to love this show but recently they have been making EVERYTHING political.
