Some people just like to talk about Star Wars, others live for this stuff. The following people have made my love for these films grow so much and I have become so much more invested in this story because of Kristian Harloff, Mark Ellis, John Campea, John Rocha, Tiffany Smith and Mark Reilly. Before I started watching and listening to these shows, I was a huge Star Wars fan, but not at the level I am now. There's just something about listening to people talk about something they have a strong passion for. It's contagious.
Jedi Council is probably the best Star Wars show on YouTube. Period. The team of Kristian Harloff, John Campea, Mark Ellis and Tiffany Smith are absolute masters when it comes to the subject. From Kristian's vast knowledge on Star Wars canon that makes you spend all of your money buying the novels and comics (my credit card thanks you...), John's ability to expertly critique these films and talk about any Star Wars related subject that adds an unapologetic perspective to it, Mark's masterful job keeping this show running smoothly, adding his own thoughts and opinions while adding some hilarious commentary that every Star Wars fan can relate to, and Tiffany's opportunity to show that she is an invaluable addition to the Council since she can view this property from the female perspective and have us think about these films differently. Thursdays are now one of my favorite days of the week thanks to this show.
The Far, Far Away podcast, hosted by John Rocha and Mark Reilly, is another one of my absolute favorites. They do a perfect job discussing the latest Star Wars news, but have no problem staying away from talking spoilers. Considering our thirst for any piece of information regarding the upcoming film, I strongly commend them for having the will to stay away from those stories. Well done, gentlemen. Rocha and Reilly have also introduced a new segment where they take Twitter questions and answer them on the podcast. My absolute favorite thing about these guys is their ability to interact with the fans. Honestly, if you reach out to them on Twitter, I can almost guarantee that you'll find yourself getting something in return. They are fans, talking to other fans about this awesome franchise. Doesn't get any better than that.
Above all, they make their fans feel like family.
Thank you to Kristian Harloff, Mark Ellis, John Campea, Tiffany Smith, Mark Reilly and John Rocha for being a part of our day when all we want to do is talk Star Wars. I wouldn't want anyone else representing this property other than you guys.
May the Force be with you. Always.
