And now it's time for us to say goodbye to the Old Republic series, for now, as we conclude our discussion of Knights of the Old Republic II! We talk about the rest of the story and the characters, but focus quite a bit on what this game is trying to say about Star Wars, and the masterful job it does of not only deconstructing Star Wars, but also video games themselves!

This is it, the big one. We start our discussion on the game that has cast a shadow over the podcast since day 0. We've dabbled into it a bit, but now join the GMT crew as we deep dive into the second Knights of the Old Republic video game, and talk about the plot, the themes, the characters of...*checks notes*...the intro and the first planet. Oops. We talked for a long time. Stay tuned for Part II next week! In the meantime, follow us on twitter: @grandmofftalkin @jacobcrites @thejazcamille @r...

It's time for the thrilling conclusion to our Knights of the Old Republic episodes! We finish the story, continue talking about how much we love it, and conclude by discussing a few of the characters we really enjoy. Is this one of the best Star Wars games ever made? I think we can now, as a podcast, agree that yes, it is! Follow us on twitter: @grandmofftalkin @jacobcrites @thejazcamille @rilesbowman Or email us: grandmofftalkin@gmail.com

A Month, over 2 years in the making. From the very first episode of Grand Moff Talkin' this has been planned. We dipped our toes into these video games in our first anniversary episode, but now the whole crew has played the game and is ready for it. Welcome to Knights of the Old Republic Month(tm) on Grand Moff Talkin'! We thought we were gonna cover both games in just two episodes, but realized it just wasn't going to happen, so this week we discuss the first half of the 2003 video game, Knight...

This week we're joined by special guest Zeke, and we're diving back into Jedi: Fallen Order to see where we all ended up with this game! Now that we've all finished the game we thought it was time to revisit it and see if we liked it more or less by the end. Spoilers for the story of the game all throughout the episode. Also we recorded this the week before The Rise of Skywalker came out so we had no idea what life in January 2020 would be like. Fallen Order us on twitter: @grandmofftalkin @jaco...

We continue out movie Commentaries with The Last Jedi, a movie we all love so much! Does this hold up after The Rise of Skywalker? Absolutely. You won't hear any complaints from us about this one.

Time for Part 2 of our commentary! I don't remember exactly what we talked about, but I'm guessing it had to do with the movie. We're starting at the moment Rey touches Anakin's old lightsaber in the basement of Maz's Castle!

Spoilers for The Rise of Skywalker ahead! Now that TRoS is out, the gang decides to sit down and watch the whole trilogy in a row. Does it hold up as a cohesive story? Do they all still like it? Is the Force Awakens just a fun old time? Some of us think so! So join us for the next few weeks as we watch the Trilogy in order and talk about it, among many other tangents I'm sure.

This is it, the big one. After our initial viewing we spent a day watching the previous two movies (look forward to those commentaries in the coming weeks), and then went to go see The Rise of Skywalker a second time, and now we reconvene to discuss the movie again.

This week we discuss Chapter 5: The Gunslinger! This might be the first week we all are a little cooled on an episode, so join us as we talk through our feelings as to why that is. Then after that we have a little News Gunray to discuss recent comments by the cast and crew of The Rise of Skywalker in regards to The Last Jedi, and why we think it's pretty lame of them to constantly throw Rian Johnson under the bus for the crime of making one of the best Star Wars movies ever.

This week we ran out of things to talk about, so we decided to watch a movie! We've watched some pretty bad ones on here before, but this one might be the worst. So follow along with us as we watch "Ewok Adventure Caravan of Courage" until we reach a certain point where we can't watch any more and just skip ahead a bunch.

POSSIBLE T.R.O.S. SPOILERS AHEAD! It's time for a bonus episode! Riley is here writing the description, but I'm not on the episode because I'm not a crazy person who wants to know what happens in The Rise of Skywalker before I see it. BUT thankfully Grand Moff Talkin' has two crazy people who have read the leaks and want to talk about them. I'm sure Jaz and Jake say nice things about me, but I won't know until the movie is out. So join them as they discuss possible spoilers for The Rise of Skywa...

Somehow we've never had an episode dedicated to droids, so today we try to fix that! We go over our top 5 lists of favorite droids.

This week we discuss a video game beloved by two of our hosts, and tolerated by the third! The Force Unleashed released in 2008 and the Force Unleashed 2 in 2010 marked the end of an era for Star Wars video games, as LucasArts was nearing the end of its life, and Star Wars video games would soon travel to the barren wasteland that has been EA. So join us as we reminisce over some of the last single player action games that tried to make you feel like a Jedi. Or...a Sith or whatever. Follow us on...

We're finally back with another New Jedi Order book! We recorded an episode discussing "Agents of Chaos II: Jedi Eclipse" by James Luceno, but it was of poor audio quality, and we really didn't enjoy the book and barely talked about it. So this time we're kind of skipping it. We give a brief overview of what happened that one, and move on to Kathy Tyers' "Balance Point", a book we enjoyed (?) more.

The time has come. We couldn't just give this fanfic another number. Since her very first appearance on the show, Jazmin has been dreading this day: The day we make her read her old fan fiction on the air. All in all it's a pretty impressive feat for a 13 year old to write 400+ pages of fan fiction, no matter the outcome! This outcome just happens to be very funny and probably our favorite episode to date. Our three hosts have never laughed this hard on the show, and we can't wait for you to lau...

This weekend has been an exciting one for Star Wars news. Now, traditionally, Grand Moff Talkin' is not a podcast that deals with the news. Other podcasts do that (and they do it well!), but this week is special. With the announcement of several new shows, and trailers for others, there was just too much for our hosts to ignore.
