This week we have a very special edition of Fan Fiction Theater! We're reading our very own host Jake's fan fiction! He rewrote the script to The Phantom Menace to feel more in line with the original trilogy, and we read it! We don't have it available anywhere to read at the moment, hopefully that will change in the future so that you can read along with us acting it out. In the meantime slap on some headphones and join us as we try to save Naboo! Follow us on twitter: @grandmofftalkin @jacobcri...

We're back from our one week break! Time to nosedive into a book all about ships! This week we talk about the new book, Alphabet Squadron. Confession: We didn't exactly finish it, but spoilers: it's not because we didn't like it! We did! In true GMT fashion we talk about many things other than the book, but hopefully by this point you expect nothing less.

This is it! We actually made it to episode 100! And it just wouldn't be Grand Moff Talkin' if we didn't spend over two hours talking about our favorite thing, ourselves. But seriously, this has been such a fun thing for us to do every week, and we're very excited for the future of the show. And even though we started this as a passion project just for ourselves, we can confidently say the only reason we're still excited about doing this every week is because of you, our listeners! So thank you f...
This week we talked about one of the most iconic parts of Star Wars, the Lightsaber! We discuss how it was portrayed in Legends, to how it's used in new canon, and what things we would like to come back in regards to the Lightsaber. Then we go on to rank our top 5 Lightsaber fights of all time! Follow us on twitter: @grandmofftalkin @jacobcrites @rilesbowman Or send us an email: grandmofftalkin@gmail.com
This week on Grand Moff Talkin' we talk about a recently released album, "Dedicated" by Carly Rae Jepsen. We also kind of discuss the recently released book "Master and Apprentice" by Claudia Gray. We love this book! It puts Qui-Gon in a light we've never seen him in before, adds to The Phantom Menace, and explores themes seldom broached in the Disney Canon. Obviously there are spoilers, starting around 15 minutes in, but we give fair warning and recommend that if you have any interest at all, c...
It's time again for Fan Fiction Theater! This time we read two shorter stories from way back in the day, both in the Comedy Genre! Our first story is "the good, the bad, and the funny": https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8399/1/ I've debated including the second story in the description because spoilers, we couldn't get through it for reasons we didn't feel comfortable discussing, but it's called "Naboo Who? Just Gimme That Jedi: An Obi/Ami Parody". It gets a little uncomfortable near the end, and it ...
It's finally here! After one week of waiting, part 2 of our Empire Strikes Back is out. We finish the movie, I don't remember what we said so I hope it's relatively entertaining!

Even if it's just telling us how dumb we are, we might read it to celebrate!
This week we dive into one of the best Star Wars movies ever made! Empire is now in a phase where it tends to get overlooked because it's tired to say it's the best, or your favorite...but it turns out it has that reputation because it's actually really good! Join Jake and Riley as they watch the first half of ESB, and are just happy to be watching a movie they love!

Welcome to "Mjolnir, in your Ear"! We promise we'll stop talking about Marvel movies soon, but hey it's our podcast and this is a pretty big movie we watched. Avengers: Endgame dropped this weekend, and Riley and Jake saw it, and have a lot of things to say. BE WARNED: This episode is full of SPOILERS from the beginning. We didn't feel like trying to dance around with a spoiler free review, so we just jump into it a few minutes in. I can't believe we talked about it for almost as long as the mov...
It's time for another edition of Fan Fiction Theater! This week, we read a story from 1998 called "Daddy Gave Me A Name", don't worry, it's not what you think. Through fan fiction we delve into the name Skywalker, hot on the heels of the reveal of Episode IX, where it seems like the name is going to take on a new meaning. Learn what this name could have meant to Luke in his childhood, and how he might deal with the absence of his father. Follow along with us here: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/73...
It's the glorious weekend of Celebration! And Jake and Riley are celebrating by...sitting in their living room talking about stuff. But really, we discuss the new trailer for episode 9 that was revealed during Celebration, and other random bits including of course revisiting The Last Jedi and...Lost? Welcome to Grand Moff Talkin'! Follow us on twitter: @grandmofftalkin @jacobcrites @rilesbowman And please send us an email grandmofftalkin@gmail.com
This week on our Star Wars podcast, we talk about Star Wars' cinematic sibling, the MCU. We start by talking about the impact, if any, Marvel's success has had on the way Disney makes Star Wars films, but let's be honest here...Jake and Riley are rewatching the entire MCU in preparation for Avengers: Endgame, and they just wanted to talk about how much they enjoy all of these films. And wait until you hear the secret guest we got for this episode! Follow us on twitter: @grandmofftalkin @jacobcri...
Here at Grand Moff Talkin' we have a history with Fan Fiction. Aside from all of us reading it from time to time, one current host and one past host have even written fan fiction! It's one of the ways fans can express their feelings for a franchise they love. And with more and more IPs being owned by fewer and fewer corporations, it's one way to make something you love feel more personal to yourself. All this to say, Jake and Riley read this https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2728/1/Tales-of-the-Jedi-...
This week on GMT we discuss the 4th book in the New Jedi Order series: Agents of Chaos I: Hero's Trial, by James Luceno. We have thoroughly enjoyed our dive into the NJO so far, will this be our first hiccup? Join us as we talk about Han's journey of dealing with the fallout of Chewbacca's death, Luceno's love of big words, and perhaps our longest dramatic reading yet! Follow us on twitter: @grandmofftalkin @jacobcrites @rilesbowman And please give us a rating and review on iTunes, or wherever y...
I'm sorry I don't even know how to describe this episode. We were gonna talk about a book, but then we remembered a good email we got 3 months ago that could lead to some fun discussion and it did! But then we also talked about like how much money the cast of Lost made? Again, I'm truly sorry, but you should know by now not to expect better of us! Follow us on twitter: @grandmofftalkin @jacobcrites @rilesbowman
This week Jake and Riley discuss how to force is portrayed in movies, as well as how it evolved over the decades and trilogies. As the for(c)emost authority on Star Wars canon, how the movies characterize the force is very important to how all other media treats it. So join us as we dive into a movie by movie discussion, focusing on how much we love the force! Follow us on twitter: @grandmofftalkin @jacobcrites @rilesbowman
This week we have a sad announcement to make, then we discuss the next book in the New Jedi Order series: *clears throat* Star Wars: The New Jedi Order: Dark Tide II: Ruin by Michael Stackpole. Join Jake and Riley as they discuss the continuation of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion in a series they really love! Follow the group on twitter: @grandmofftalkin @jacobcrites @rilesbowman
Part 2 of our commentary of A New Hope, and guess what? We still love the second half of this movie, too! We start at the small training scene with Obi-Wan and Luke on board the Falcon, and finish the movie up. Follow us on twitter: @grandmofftalkin @jacobcrites @rilesbowman @jazbrock_

We start our first of several episodes over the next couple of months discussing the Force in Star Wars, this time focusing on how the Force is portrayed in old Legends media. We go over powers and ideas we miss, things we don't miss, and our hope for the future when it comes to bringing ideas from Legends into the Disney Canon. We also receive a brief visit from an old friend! It's the year of no bad episodes, and this is no exception. Meaning it's good. For sure. Trust us. Follow us on twitter...

We're joined once more by special guest Mack from Super Movie Ball, this time to discuss the second book in the New Jedi Order series: Star Wars: The New Jedi Order: Dark Tide I: Onslaught. Another in a long line of ridiculous Star Wars book titles. Reading the title of this book is quite an Onslaught, eh? Eh? Okay I'll quit. We discuss the deepening mystery of the Yuuzhan Vong, the deepening character development of the Solo children and the deepening disappointment of having to read about "Sla...
