Since 1977, love and romance have been brewing across the #StarWars Galaxy. While it seemed inevitable in the original film that Luke Skywalker was going to get the girl - after all Princess Leia did give him that kiss for luck before falling for a dirty, rotten scoundrel.From the ill-fated love affair that sent an emotionally compromised Jedi spiraling towards the Dark Side, to the unexpected and kind of cheered-on romance between Obi-Wan and Duchess Satyne of Mandalore, there is a bit of romance in Star Wars.Join Mark, Garrett, and Brian as they welcome back former host and guest Will - aka Darth Tuba - to join in a discussion of some of the galaxy's greatest love stories. #starwarscharacters #romance #legends #canon #starwars #warofthestars #feastoffandoms #starwarspodcast ----------Connect with WOTS: warofthestars1@gmail.com IG: @war_of_the_stars1 X: @Warofthestars1 @War of the Stars: A Star Wars podcast Support WOTS: www.ko-fi.com/warofthestars https://www.spreadshirt.com/shop/war-...Connect with Garrett: IG/X: @gkj_publishing @GKJPublishing Connect with Brian: IG: @corrosis The Sith Library & Archives: https://shorturl.at/Su4HkConnect with Will: @DarthTuba on YouTubeFollow us on all social media platforms so you never miss any of our content!

Medical droids. Protocol droids. Service droids. Astromechs. Battledroids. Gonks!!! There are so many types of droids, and just like some human civilizations through the galaxy, they're ranked into classifications based on their function and skill sets.But what is the technology surrounding droids? Obviously they have intelligence matrices that - if left un attended and without frequent memory wipes - will develop some peculiar quirks and idiosyncrasies. How has the 30,000+ year old technology not risen up against their creators?Join Mark, Brian, and Garrett in the first all-new TechTalk segment of 2026 as we dive deep into the only bots we want to be talking about on the interwebs.

Zweli and Noluthando are talking about oversharing, and it's not just about your friends or family members who can't keep to themselves. Today, we're diving into the world of Uber drivers who share way too much with their passengers. From heart-wrenching stories of cheating partners to tales of court cases and mixtapes, we're exploring why some people feel more comfortable opening up to strangers. We're sharing some wild stories from listeners who've had their fair share of oversharing Uber experiences, and we're wondering, what makes us so drawn to these stories?

What happens when the food you love stops loving you back?
When you think "droids", most people's minds drift back to that shiny golden automaton and his rolling trash compactor of a counterpart. That's right, we're talking the walking panic attack and his little buddy, C-3PO and R2-D2.But what makes these characters stand out? Is it their personalities? Is it their position as stand-ins for the audience? Is it the fact they are the only two characters to appear throughout the Skywalker Saga?Join Mark and Garrett as they discuss these topics and try to answer the big questions, like which one gets listed alphabetically first?

What was supposed to be a relaxing break for Zweli turned into a literal fire drill! This episode, Zweli spills the tea on how his cousin nearly turned his apartment into a bonfire while he was trying to enjoy some downtime. The story sparks a wild conversation with our listeners, who call in with their own hilarious and terrifying 'close calls'—from childhood sibling rivalries involving smoke-outs to kitchen experiments gone wrong. While the vibes are high and the laughter is non-stop, we also take a moment to talk about real-world fire safety and why a 'Plan B' is essential when things get a little too hot in the kitchen.

Droids are as common in Star Wars as the number of planets with only one kind of biome. You have protocol droids, service droids, pilot droids, battle droids, medical droids, and even assassin droids.But is this mechanized "species" more than just the some of their parts? Are they more than just what their programming dictates them to be or is every decision they make simply slaving them to a binary code of ones and zeroes making them think they actually have a choice?Join Mark, Garrett, and Brian - who is back from his long hiatus - as they discuss the philosophical questions at the heart of the droids in Star Wars Lore.What is your favorite type of droid in Star Wars?

Psychedelics can shoot you to the summit, but they can't make you a mountain climber. You may get a glimpse of the view, but the glimpse doesn't change you — you didn't build the muscles, you didn't shed the weight, and you didn't face the inner terrain that actually transforms a person. In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore the difference between quick-hit "insight" culture and the steady, muscle-building path of Bhakti, drawing powerful lessons from Lord Brahmā's humility in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. It's an honest, humorous dive into why real growth means doing the inner work — not looking for shortcuts. From psychedelic detours to Facebook flame wars, from ego trips to genuine surrender, this episode blends ancient wisdom with modern mischief in the signature WOTS style. Key Highlights * Raghunath's mushroom story is back. * Brahmā: four heads, cosmic mastery, still doing the uncomfortable inner work… one apology at a time. * Why psychedelics may give you the view — but Bhakti builds the muscles to actually live there.
Psychedelics can shoot you to the summit, but they can't make you a mountain climber. You may get a glimpse of the view, but the glimpse doesn't change you — you didn't build the muscles, you didn't shed the weight, and you didn't face the inner terrain that actually transforms a person. In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore the difference between quick-hit "insight" culture and the steady, muscle-building path of Bhakti, drawing powerful lessons from Lord Brahmā's humility in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. It's an honest, humorous dive into why real growth means doing the inner work — not looking for shortcuts. From psychedelic detours to Facebook flame wars, from ego trips to genuine surrender, this episode blends ancient wisdom with modern mischief in the signature WOTS style. Key Highlights * Raghunath's mushroom story is back. * Brahmā: four heads, cosmic mastery, still doing the uncomfortable inner work… one apology at a time. * Why psychedelics may give you the view — but Bhakti builds the muscles to actually live there.
