A new Star Wars movie can only mean one thing: a communication disruption! And a communication disruption can mean only one thing: invasion! So this week we invade your podcast feed to talk about Solo: A Star Wars Story! Who liked it? Who didn’t? Who cares? The answer to the first two of those questions can be found on this week’s Grand Moff Talkin’! Follow us on twitter! @grandmofftalkin @eyewreck @jacobcrites @jazbrock__ @rilesbowman And send us an email talking about Solo, or whatever you wan...

This week, we read a listener email--WAIT DON'T GO! It's a very good email, with thought provoking questions. We intended to answer it quickly before a normal episode, but we had so much to say about it we accidentally made an entire episode! We discuss whether or not you should have to read supplemental material to be able to follow along with a Star Wars movie, among other subjects. So please stick around, for once we have a good discussion, all thanks to an email, so send us more! Follow us o...

What better way to follow up our wonderful anniversary episode, than with an episode where we barely talk about a book, mostly get distracted, and Isaac says the phrase "Trojan Horse" possibly millions of times. Isaac's finishing his trilogy of young adult novels this week on Grand Moff Talkin'. You know...those books he read like 8 months ago? We're really good at podcasting, pals. So join us, won't you? We promise it will be fun, even if we accomplish nothing and barely talk about the books. F...

One year ago today, the podcast that changed the world stormed into the feeds of literally dozens of listeners. Now, that same podcast will bring you the discussion that at least one co-host has been hyping for 365 days: Knights of the Old Republic. Riley and Jazmin talk in depth about the beloved video game duology, while Isaac and Jake start a war with the Star Wars Podcast Community. Here’s to another year of peanut butter challenges on Grand Moff Talkin’! Send us emails about how happy you w...

This week on Grand Moff Talkin', our podcast about all things Star Wars, we talk about Avenger: Infinity War. Look, here's the story...our schedules have been wack, we haven't had time to get together, but all that changes next week! We'll be back to recording in the same room next time, but for one last internet-episode we decided to just talk about the new Marvel movie. Don't worry, though, we find a way to bring it all back to Star Wars, and we find a way to yell at each other. This is a perf...

This week we re-visit a movie we all loved, to varying degrees. Things have calmed a little bit, in regards to this movie, and with the release of the blu-ray we decided it was time to see if we still love it, plus dive in to the deleted scenes! Nothing clever to end with this week, because I'm not the normal description writer! Bye!

Splinter of the Mind’s Eye is a book, which—WAIT! STOP! THIS EPISODE IS ACTUALLY GOOD! SPLINTER OF THE MIND’S EYE? MORE LIKE SPLITTING OF THE LISTENER’S SIDES! Because, you know...it’s a funny show.

In the chillinest, palliest, home-breakinest, made-up-wordiest episode yet, the Moffing Talkers discuss their favorite non-movie Star Wars characters, sleep walking, and other incongruous things.

This time on a very special Grand Moff Talkin'...Jazmin talks more than usual! Because we're talking about a subject near and dear to her heart, and really to our collective heart: The Expanded Universe, now known as Legends. It has a bad reputation for being low in quality, but for lots of Star Wars' history, these were the stories that kept the franchise moving forward. And if you take a closer look, some really great moments and stories took place in these books. So join us as the Pals sit do...

A teaser trailer for Solo dropped tonight, so in classic GMT fashion, we're releasing an episode we recorded almost a year ago. For real though, half of the podcast has been on vacation the last week, and we've just had no time to record anything new! We want to start reading old EU fiction again, we just have so much fun talking about those books, so to get ready for that we thought we'd re-release a classic and return to Return to Ord Mantell! If you skipped it the first time, give it a try no...

Jake just got married less than 12 hours ago, Riley is on his way out the door to go on vacation, and I'm sure Jazmin and Isaac are equally busy with their own lives, so listen to this hastily recorded, slightly poorer audio quality edition of Grand Moff Talkin'! We talk about, what else, Star Wars! What we still love about it, why we still love it, and what we want to talk about in the future. If that sounds like an excuse for us to just talk in a directionless manner for an hour, it's because ...

George Lucas may be a friend of the show, but no friend is safe from scrutiny and backbiting comments on Grand Moff Talkin’! This week, we discuss the man, the myth, the Star Wars Legend(s) himself, and seek an answer to the eternal question: is George Lucas, like, good?

War! The Fandom is crumbling under attacks by the ruthless existence of social media and YouTube. There are heroes on both sides. Evil is everywhere. In a stunning move, the delicately curated podcast, Grand Moff Talkin’, has swept into the Podcasting Situation Room and kidnapped the hearts and minds of literally dozens of listeners as they attempt to make sense of the backlash to the epic film. As the haters and defenders attempt to yell at each other breathlessly with no end in sight, four pod...

Riley's on his way out the door, and almost forgot to upload the episode, so it'll be brief. We talked about The Last Jedi for so long we had to split it up!

Some who maybe didn't love it the first time start to feel warm and fuzzy towards it. Some who tried to contain their joy so as to sound reasonable on the last episode give up and just gush about how awesome it was. Join us for Part 1 of our plot by plot discussion of The Last Jedi!

Specifically one set in an alternate universe where things might not go exactly like you've seen them in the movies.
