Imperial Hearts is a Star Wars podcast made by two women from Toronto, Ontario who think about the intricacies of the Star Wars universe a little more than anyone ought to. We cover topics ranging from representation in media to crazy fan theories to which Star War we would like to f*ck. With your support, we would like to continue making strange and funny content every single week from a soft imperial femme and hard rebel butch viewpoint.

Jayme Last and Dana Howl
