  • The bright center of the Universe

    Traveling at lightspeed from the planet that is farthest from, Jason and Jimmy Mac continue on a new adventure in leaving "no fan behind". Already Jedi Knights in the ways of the force, the hosts of RFR will always bring fascinating commentary, humor, and a sense of community for all Star Wars fans. This is the podcast you are looking for. I have a great feeling about this.

    Update to review: I have listened to these guys from the beginning and the quality has only gotten better over the years. ... more

  • Nice podcast

    This is a good podcast, and it’s been going since 2013. I would recommend giving it a listen. The. Hosts aren’t boring, and it is an entertaining show to listen to, but their legends knowledge isn’t as good as some of the other podcasts I’ve listened to.

  • Make it good

    I’ve been listening to RFR since November of 2020 when I was 12 years old. Now, this Christmas time, I find myself cooped up with COVID and I’m finding it so rewarding to go back and listen to episodes from 2015 and the lead up to the release of The Force Awakens and through those episodes finding a window to when I was a little kid. Thanks guys and keep them coming!
