A Great Show

I’ve been a listener since the first episode of the Mandalorian, and have enjoyed every episode. Alex and Mac are the best of Star Wars Fans: positive, enthusiastic, inclusive, and knowledgeable. Their aftershows and voicemail hotlines are always a great supplement to any Star Wars TV show. Keep the watch!

Great content

Love how Mac and Alex give breakdowns and information. They do it in a way that isn’t condescending and where a new comer would be able to connect the dots. They’re funny and bring in the “Star Wars Nerdom” in the best way possible. Big fan of the pod! Keep the watch!

Great work, really appreciate your casts and that swampy mantis noir episode of Batch was way too dark… (Mac wherz the CK Bandcamp presence and vinyl?!)

The most genuinely positive Star Wars podcast.

I realized that I am one of the listeners that have not put in a review yet. As a somewhat casual Star Wars fan, I get a little burnt out from a lot of the negative aspects of Star Wars fandom. This show is such a breath of fresh fresh air and helps me stay informed when I otherwise don’t have the time to consume all the content that is out there. The hosts genuinely love the franchise and can put a positive take even the most controversial parts of it in a way that I appreciate. Listening to this podcast it brings a little bit of joy to my life on a regular basis. I have never read a Star Wars book and I don’t know all the background stories, but they have an expensive trove of knowledge they share that helps me understand a lot of the stories behind the story that I’m watching on the TV.

I Love Children of the Watch!

A super helpful podcast for understanding the incredibly large (and at times confusing STAR WARS galaxy)!

Show by fans for fans

I can’t state highly enough how this show keeps a positive tone about Star Wars content, fawning over the universe and its characters, but without becoming a corporate shill for Disney. They can acknowledge when something doesn’t land well with them, without echoing all of the internet hate that gets thrown around complaining at every turn how this person or that entity “ruined Star Wars.” They explain background information (sometimes not quite clearly enough), and provide fantastic insight into the current content. On top of that, their chemistry together is just adorable to hear. I’d love for them to make additional deep-dive episodes about lore. Other casts try it but they’re so difficult to follow.

Great job

Driving back and forth between NC and South Alabama gives me time to get through the archive. Fantastic info especially of the Legends. Great job

It’s difficult to overstate how good this podcast is.

Thank you Alex and Mac for dedicating your time and energy and putting out your fantastic show. My sons and I really enjoy listening to you guys talk about Star Wars. Your approach that Star Wars should be for everyone really connects with them. As a father I am so please with your positive approach. We love how excited you get about everything Star Wars and listening to your podcast get us pumped for every show and episode. I hope you guys never change because everything you’re doing is perfect. I know you put a ton of work into making you’re show great and it really shows. You have helped me connect my kids to Star Wars and your show is always a must listen when it drops. Keep the watch!

Star Wars Podcast for Everyone

I have listened since the beginning, since Alex and Mac called it the Mandalorian Watch. These two certainly know a lot about Star Wars lore even the legacy characters/stories but they’re not anything like so many toxic gatekeeper fans I come across on podcasts or online. These guys just love the Wars for what it is, it’s something and somewhere we can escape to and enjoy a galaxy far far away. They cover all the current Star Wars Television even the Clone Wars/Bad Batch at times. They have a good chemistry together and are hilarious especially talking the early Clone Wars episodes. They even let fans call in and give their crazy theories/ask questions without Comic Book Guy judgement like other podcasts I have listened to. If you like in depth discussion about what you just watched do yourself a favor and follow this podcast. Thanks Alex and Mac

My favorite Star Wars podcast

If you’re looking for a Star Wars podcast where the hosts are extremely knowledgable, appeal to both hardcore and casual fans, AND manage to be positive and optimistic without just blindly praising everything, then Children of the Watch is for you.

Like hanging with my Nerdy Star Wars friend!

LOVE this podcast! From the full breakdowns to the jokes and silliness to the irresponsible speculation…just like sitting around with my friends talking nerdy Star Wars stuff! So great!!

Keep On Keeping the Watch

I can’t believe a Star Wars Podcasts is easily one of my favorite pods, but COTW is that good. I’m a 40-something year old mom, with couple of teenage boys and a previously almost nonexistent interest in Star Wars. But much to my surprise, I loved Mando, and then I loved Andor, and then I needed to find a podcast and now this is one I consistently bump to the top of my list. Alex and Mac have made a really great podcast. It’s maybe 20% your favorite English class, 30% in depth Star Wars lore, 40% responsible speculation, and 10% giggling. If you like people who are committed to finding a problem with everything, this is not that podcast, but if you like hearing a thorough break down of each episode, making connections to the broader story, and hypothesizing about what might be to come with unabashed enthusiasm, look no further.

These guys are fantastic, do yourself a favor and listen!

Auspicious, ifykyk. I’ve been listening since just before the Mandalorian S1 premier. If you are a long time fan of Star Wars and want hear a discussion to get a deeper understanding of SW then this is a great podcast. If you are new to Star Wars and you want to learn more about it and what it means to people, then this is a fantastic podcast for you to start with. If you are familiar and you’re unsure of how you feel about certain things and need help processing your thoughts, then this is a great podcast for you. They are a positive force in the Star Wars community and you will not feel left behind or left out of you don’t know every little thing about SW. these guys are so good at what they do, you won’t be disappointed. Please give them a listen and spread the word about them!

Family Favorite

We are fans of the Star Wars universe but not the diehard kind. Since introducing it to my oldest son (11), we have watched all the shows and movies. He likes the shows best. So as a family we gather around the tv to watch the latest Star Wars series or one of the classics (rebels, most likely). Then we listen to children of the watch, Alex and Mac help to connect all the dots and make sense of the timelines. They have enhanced our watching experience because it gives us a clearer understanding of what is going on. Their excitement for every episode and new release comes through the speakers and pumps us up for the next episodes. My son comes up with some wild theories based on theirs (responsible or not 😁). Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm and providing us a way to connect with our son.

Great Star Wars Pod!

I recently started listening about a month ago when I was rewatching Ahsoka. The guys provide insightful reactions to episodes which really helped me notice more and make deeper connections to the content which has greatly enhanced the rewatch! I look forward to listening for Season 3 of Bad Batch and super pumped to hear their breakdown of The Acolyte later this year. Very cool that they are doing a High Repubic Era book club which I am reading along with and look forward to hear their discussions.
