6 Star Wars Podcasts for All Kinds of Jedi

To celebrate Solo hitting theaters, we recently shared a few Star Wars podcasts to put inside your ears. But as Laura Sook Duncombe, host of The Organa Digest, noticed, less than half of our recommended shows featured women hosts! Laura sent us some of her recommendations, so here are a few Star Wars podcasts that explore fandom, female characters and the extended universe:

The Organa Digest

Well, we gotta start with the one who put this list together! The Organa Digest is a weekly Star Wars briefing that covers all the bases: comics, books, movies, video games, and more! Laura’s recent episode talks about Lando’s sexuality and features cosplayer Laura Sirikul.

Fangirls Going Rogue

This show is hosted by three fangirls who get together and talk Star Wars from their point of view. If they sound familiar, it’s because they’re a spinoff show of Rebel Force Radio. Check out their episode with Star Wars Rebels producer Dave Filoni.

Sapphic Skywalkers

If you couldn’t tell by the name, Sapphic Skywalkers is all about female characters and LGBT representation in Star Wars.  Check out their episode on the Bechdel Test, how Star Wars scores, and whether or not it’s a good measurement of representation in media.

Skytalkers Podcast

Every other week, the women behind Skytalkers Podcast put out a show with a comprehensive discussion on the shows, movies, stories, and extensive canon. Their latest episode is a spoiler-free review of Solo after the hosts attended the Hollywood premiere!

Scavenger’s Hoard

If you aren’t afraid of spoilers, give Scavenger’s Hoard a listen. It’s a show of in-depth discussion and commentary on the films, specifically the sequel trilogy. Check out their episode on the musical score of The Last Jedi.

Strong Female Characters

Strong Female Characters  isn’t a Star Wars specific podcast, but it does take a close look at many female characters and storylines, and connects their stories with current events. They recently had a Star Wars episode all about the ladies!
