I found it thoroughly entertaining, if unexpected, and slowly revealing both the mystery and the answers. A little like:

I hope anyone interested finds something they like, or astute, or just fun. More like-minded channels are out there!
If anyone has any suggestions of channels or podcasts etc to be added to the above list please post them in here or PM me.
Thank you very much for including me here! I really appreciate it!
I’m starting to think that acolyte would work better as a binging show, rather than week to week. I’m gonna wait until it’s over before I watch the rest, I think.
That said, it could still end up being my favorite sw show (depending on how it ends).
Nah, man. Thank you for the blog. I enjoy reading it, though I often forget about such platforms over time. I remembered seeing a similar list of balanced non-toxic channels on r/Andor, so thought I’d give it a try on here for this. It has certainly helped de-clog my YouTube feed that was once full of FandomMenace, toxic, and rage4hate type videos covering Star Wars that YouTube’s algorithm really likes to promote.
And I’ve learnt of a few new channels. Not all of them great (to me personally), but hopefully something for everyone.
Interesting point about The Acolyte maybe being better suited to binge watching. Given the non-linear approach of the series so far, and that we may get another flashback/Rashomon episode or a good amount of scenes from a different POV, soon.
Either way the show goes, or how it is thought of the at the end of its run, it has engaged me so far. Which a welcome plus, despite a few clunky moments and iffy dialogue.
