Force Insensitive - A Star Wars Podcast
A long time ago in theaters far, far away four nerds got swept up by one of the greatest pop culture waves in cinema history. Now, as adults with a lifetime of fandom under their belts they get together to discuss the mythology, characters and business of creating STAR WARS! Turn up your headphones, dial back your sensibilities, and join the wretched hive of scum and villainy as we take the low road to resistance….

It is almost that time of year. The joyous time where the leaves begin changing color, there is a cool crisp in the air, and freaky outer space aliens come to our planet to eat us for lunch! That’s not really how it goes, but that is how we’ll be spending our October this year as we program a month long Sci-Fi Horror event. Tune in to the episode and hear us discuss all the films that are in contention for the event. ...
After several weeks of listening to a horny 1980s Star Wars radio drama, we decided to give ourselves a bit of a break. As always, we manage to shoe horn some Star Wars into our conversations, but this week is more free form as we meander quite a bit around myriad topics. Don’t be patient negative one, get yourself an Apple Saltini with the testicular tether ball. You’ll thank us later. Turn up your headphones, dial b...
We are bookended by Double D as he joins us to wrap up our coverage of the Star Wars: A New Hope Radio Drama! This has been a fun run down a nostalgia filled trench. There is a large list of things we learned while revisiting this radio drama; we learned it was the horniest radio drama of its time, you can’t digitize away incest, and we learn a brand new meaning for hiding in the utility compartment! Turn up your head...
We’re beginning to think the writers of the Star Wars: A New Hope Radio Drama had some repressed fantasies they are now taking out on all of us. We get to hear a side of Luke’s training that perhaps should have stayed hidden. However, there is plenty of good here this week. The voice acting really hits its stride and there are some interesting extras for hardcore fans to enjoy. So come with us as we head down a monkey...
There really are no words to explain what you’re about to listen to. The first 90 seconds of this episode might be the most shocking thing you’ve ever heard on this podcast… and that’s saying something! We continue with our coverage of the Star Wars A New Hope Radio Drama as we cover chapters 7 and 8! We eventually get into a good discussion about certain characters that appear in this that might have actually made th...
This week we try our absolute best to avoid any Imperial entanglements, but that is surprisingly harder than one might imagine, just ask Blue Narcolepsy. We continue with our coverage of the original Star Wars radio drama as we talk about chapters 5 & 6. We finally get to hear Han Solo and a somewhat lurid Obi-Wan. This may or may not be an example of some of the dialogue overheard in the radio drama, “Hey Uncle A...
This week we huddle around an old transistor radio with our snacks and our Yoo-Hoo to find out exactly what happens in the next installment of the Star Wars: A New Hope Radio Drama! We learn way more than we bargained for though as we find out about Darth Vader’s Black Helmet Diaries, what his Antilles heel is, and that his hands weren’t between two sand dunes! Turn up your headphones, dial back your sensibilities, an...
Well we finally did it. It has been long requested and we finally caved and decided to check out the first of the Star Wars radio dramas! We discuss the first two chapters of the 1981 production with the man who initially recommended it to us, Double D! There was a surprising amount of extra backstory here that made for an engaging listen. It’s actually kind of amazing how on topic we stay this episode, it might be a ...
Stop me if you’ve heard this one. An Ithorian and a Kowakian Monkey Lizard walk into a bar… actually if we say anymore we’ll be giving too much away. This week we play a little What If… and imagine a series that would fill a massive hole in the Star Wars Galaxy. You need to hear it to believe it! While you’re listening maybe you and Carmen Chameleon can go plug up a space whale’s blowhole! Turn up your headphones, dia...
This week’s episode contains a little bit of everything. First, we finally settle on a format for the next several months of shows until new Star Wars content is released. We also pay tribute to an icon that was a cultural phenomenon in The Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne. You might wonder how he relates to Star Wars but we somehow found a way to make it work! Join us and take a journey deep into Play-Doh’s cave, bu...
What does one do when they lose their way? They refocus and center themselves. What do we do when we lose our way? We talk through it like adults. Ok, teenagers? Nah you’re right, like children. This week we figure out what a show without new content does. We lay it all out on the table and figure out what we’re going to do moving forward. We almost have a plan. You’ll have to tune in to find out what that is! Don’t s...
What started as a harmless discussion about the greatest space opera ever created quickly turned into a high stakes game of Six Degrees of Star Wars. With lives on the line and reputations hanging in the balance we do our best to steer the conversation into a more on brand format, with a twist. And of course none of this happened organically or unplanned. That never happens on this show! Turn up your headphones, dial ...
Pack your bags, submit your paid time off, call a babysitter, and get ready to head out on a once in a lifetime vacation at the destination of your choice anywhere in the Star Wars Galaxy! There are endless possibilities so we try to narrow down the options for you. Whether we were successful or not is still to be determined, but it was fun to discuss! Turn up your headphones, dial back your sensibilities, and join th...
So uh, are you experienced? Have you ever been experienced? Well, we have. Let us prove it to you by talking about our favorite non-Star Wars topic for two hours — music. Of course we attempt to bring it around to the topic at hand, but this one is a stretch to say it’s a Star Wars show. If you don’t like it, talk to our lawyers. Although since they won’t talk to us that might not do much good. You know what, just lis...
Star Wars is a funny thing. We love that we have an embarrassment of riches with constant new content in our favorite galaxy, yet when is it just too much? Do we really need to know all the answers to questions we never asked? Do we always require a character’s legacy to carry on after their dead? Or can we just turn off our brains and enjoy a well animated adventure with one of our favorite characters? You’ll have to...
This week we return to creature comforts in the form of animated Star Wars adventures. We discuss the first three episodes of Tales of the Underworld which focuses on one of our favorite characters, Asajj Ventress. We get some surprising cameos and some great character beats from one of the most badass characters to appear in Star Wars. Turn up your headphones, dial back your sensibilities, and join the wretched hive ...
We spend several hours talking about not only one of the greatest Star Wars series ever made, but perhaps one of the greatest TV series ever made as we have a wrap up show to discuss Season Two of Andor in totality. We have a couple guests joining us as well for the festivities and we talk about favorite character arcs, which season of the show we prefer, and the concept of changing canon. Before you hit play on this ...
Its all over but the crying. In a very fitting, poignant last story arc we follow Cassian in the period just prior to Rogue One and find out what happens to everyone from this amazing series. We do our best to discuss some of theories, easter eggs, connections, and details of the final arc. We even take a victory lap for one of our predictions. Manny Bothans went foraging for Bib Fortuna at the Ring of Caffeine. It wo...
Wow. Just wow. The third story arc from Andor Season 2 was a tour de force of tension, pacing, and character narratives colliding in all the best ways to give us 2.5 hours of arguably the best Star Wars we’ve ever seen. We would need triple the time to properly encapsulate everything, but we try our best to add commentary and talk about all the details for Episodes 7-9. Gilroy is good enough to keep us on topic with l...
If we were back last week, we are ALL THE WAY BACK this week. Wow what a story arc. This week on the podcast we discuss Episodes 4-6 of Season Two of Andor. We won’t tease tease you or write some BS description to get hate clicks, no this 3 episode arc was pure cinematic perfection. There are important character beats, some economical smart plot advancement and tension, oh the tension. Come with us to Ghorman so you c...
