Our first step on a very long journey, we're reading the first book in the New Jedi Order series! Spoilers: We really like this book a lot! It's a story set 21 years after Return of the Jedi. The Empire and all of its remnants are finally gone, just in time for a new threat to show up, unlike anything else our heroes have ever faced. We're eventually going to read all 19 novels in this series, but for now sit back and join us as we discuss the Yuuzhan Vong, The Force, and an event unlike anythin...

Commentary! The podcast is crumbling under attacks by ruthless former host, Isaac. There are heroes on both sides. Wait. Heroes on both sides? No that's dumb. I'm giving up on that bit already. This week we watch the first half of Revenge of the Sith and talk about it, in a commentary style. One out of Three hosts likes the movie, but we promise we don't gang up on him...too much. We now have a Twitch channel! Go to twitch.tv/grandmofftalkin to watch unedited future episodes in which you can see...

This week we temporarily lose another host, so join Jake and Riley as they discuss the final Young Jedi Knights book, Crisis at Crystal Reef! Jake talks about what he liked, what he didn't, and whether or not he's invested enough to go back and read more of the series. This then leads into a discussion of old Legends canon, and the differences between that and the new canon we get today. (Spoilers: We like both.)

On our first Grand Moff Talkin' 2.0 we read a book we've been excited to read for a very long time. Why were we excited? We have no idea, it's a very bad book. But it makes for a good podcast! So join us on our adventure to Dathomir to see whether or not Han Solo can win Leia's affection...again? Or something? We thought this was settled in Return of the Jedi. Anyways, strap in and never forget: "He's got his own planet, Although it's kind of wild, Wookiees love him, Women love him, He's got a w...

On this pilot of a brand new podcast from Grand Moff Talkin': An American Podcast, we discuss the pilot of The Office: An American Workplace! Jake talks too much and promises he'll rein it in on future episodes. Jake is actually the one writing this, so you can imagine how dire the situation is.

Take a trip with us back to August 20th, 2017: Grand Moff Talkin' released an episode on the State of Star Wars, and whether we thought it was in a good place (we did), and heading in the right direction (we did). Flash forward to August 26th, 2018: Somehow we accidentally recorded another episode about the Star of Star Wars and the timing worked out that it releases at almost the same time. I wish we could say we planned this stuff! So listen along as we discuss whether or not we think Star War...

Welcome to Grand Moff Talkin', where we sit and watch movies sometimes, and this just so happens to be one of those times! Join us as we finish Attack of the Clones.

It's time yet again to listen to a group of people watch a movie! It's Jazmin's least favorite Star Wars movie, so does she make fun of it the whole time and make Jake and Isaac cry?

We have some news to catch up on this week, so it's a little bit shorter than usual, but we promise it's just as dumb as ever! With the Clone Wars returning some hosts are thrilled, some are pretty ambivalent, but it might not be who you think, and that's a good thing!

After a year and several months in we finally decide to talk about the one thing every person seems to agree on about Star Wars: How great the music is! We discuss our favorite John Williams cues that maybe don't get talked about as much as others. And now that we have multiple people other than Williams scoring Star Wars, we talk about some of our favorites from them, too! In true GMT fashion we may be able to offer any new insight into the music theory or deeper meanings behind the soundtracks...

This week we watch the first half of The Phantom Menace and talk about it! What's that? A Commentary by no one associated with the movie who can't add any knowledge or details to it? That sounds like an episode of Grand Moff Talkin'! So grab your copy of the Blu-ray and sit down with us in your ears as we watch a movie that we all kinda actually like. Or just listen and picture the movie in your head! Really all we want is for you to listen. Follow us on twitter: @grandmofftalkin @eyewreck @jaco...
