A quick message from GMT. Unfortunately we have to go on an indefinite hiatus, but we want to thank all of you for listening to us over the years! And even though we started this as a way for friends to have an excuse to waste time talking about Star Wars every week, those of you who have continued to listen have made it just that much more fulfilling for us! See ya around, kids.

144 - Friends Just Talkin' Again

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Sun, 05 Jul 2020 15:28:32 +0000

Sometimes we have a great idea for an episode. It's an idea born from a creative spark. It's an idea never done before. An idea so daring and provocative they write songs about it. And sometimes we have no idea what to do so we just talk for an hour about nothing. Sorry, it's one of those! Follow us on twitter:

Star Wars: Hope's Dawn

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Sun, 28 Jun 2020 13:00:12 +0000

Star Wars: Hope’s Dawn
It is a time of uncertainty for the Rebellion. With the destruction of the Death Star, many in the Galaxy expected the victories to continue, yet Darth Vader and the Empire have retaliated with the full force of the enigmatic Emperor behind them.

Throughout the galaxy, the remaining Rebel forces wage war with the enemy, necessitating the use of refueling stations in system after system to ensure the war effort can continue.

Set at the outskirts of the fight is a vital but ordinary station, Hope’s Dawn. Though rarely visited by the Rebellion’s ships, the crew remains conscious that the enemy is closing in on them. They maintain constant watch at the edges of their system, patrolling every corner for the first sign of the Empire. . .

So today the GMT crew dives into what makes a name good (Hint: it's the secret Punch Factor), and also scientifically discover the Worst Star Wars Name Ever Made (Hint: they actually don't, this is where you come in). Follow us on twitter: @grandmofftalkin @jacobcrites @thejazcamille @rilesbowman

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Sun, 19 Apr 2020 13:56:30 +0000

Part of Grand Moff Talkin' loves The Rise of Skywalker. Part of Grand Moff Talkin' hates it. And part of Grand Moff Talkin' probably wishes the other two would shut up. Well today we solve all that. Episode IX had a very rushed schedule, but did that mean they didn't have any options? Did the movie have to be the way it is? GMT tries to figure that out in our 7 Part series, one episode a month, trying to rewrite The Rise of Skywalker!

It's been quite a while, but we're back for another episode of Fan Fiction Theater!

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Sun, 23 Feb 2020 15:00:20 +0000

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! Follow us on twitter; @grandmofftalkin @jacobcrites @thejazcamille @rilesbowman Or email us at: grandmofftalkin@gmail.com

132 - KotOR II: Part I

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Sun, 16 Feb 2020 20:36:29 +0000

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 @rilesbowman Or email us your KotOR thoughts: grandmofftalkin@gmail.com

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

130 - KotOR: Part I

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Sun, 02 Feb 2020 16:31:04 +0000

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, Knights of the Old Republic in great detail. You don't have to be a video game fan to enjoy these episodes, as the games delve very deeply into what makes Star Wars interesting, and lead to many great discussions. I mean, not necessarily by us, but just in general. Follow us on twitter: @grandmofftalkin @jacobcrites @rilesbowman @thejazcamille Or email us your KotOR thoughts: grandmofftalkin@gmail.com

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.

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?

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.

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.

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Sun, 29 Sep 2019 19:20:56 +0000

We've had some scheduling issues of late, so we decided to pop on the old internet to just have a check in with each other, make sure we're still friends. And then we decided to record it. And it turns out, we are still friends! So join us on our journey today as we discuss some star wars stuff, some cat stuff and probably some other stuff as well. Follow us on twitter: @grandmofftalkin @jacobcrites @thejazcamille @rilesbowman And send us an email, especially if it's with fanfic for us to read: grandmofftalkin@gmail.com

BONUS - TROS Leaks

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Thu, 26 Sep 2019 21:18:51 +0000

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 Skywalker! Follow us on twitter: @grandmofftalkin @jacobcrites @thejazcamille @rilesbowman Or email us at: grandmofftalkin@gmail.com

114- Our Favorite Droids

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Sun, 22 Sep 2019 18:09:59 +0000

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. Someday we hope to dive in a little deeper into a Droid's role in the Star Wars universe, but today we wanted to just have a little fun and talk about our favorite mechanical beings in Star Wars! Follow us on twitter: @grandmofftalkin @jacobcrites @thejazcamille @rilesbowman or email us at: grandmofftalkin@gmail.com

113 - The Force Unleashed

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Sun, 15 Sep 2019 17:32:40 +0000

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 twitter: @grandmofftalkin @jacobcrites @thejazcamille @rilesbowman Or send us an email: grandmofftalkin@gmail.com

112 - NJO: Balance Point

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Sun, 08 Sep 2019 16:17:20 +0000

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. Follow us on twitter: @grandmofftalkin @jacobcrites @thejazcamille @rilesbowman And send us an email: grandmofftalkin@gmail.com

111 - Jazmin's Fan Fiction

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Sun, 01 Sep 2019 17:14:10 +0000

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 laugh along with us! Follow us on twitter: @grandmofftalkin @jacobcrites @thejazcamille @rilesbowman And please send your fanfiction you want read to our email! grandmofftalkin@gmail.com

BONUS - TROS Trailer Talk

We're back with a quick and dirty bonus ep. We finally got to see the trailer so we discuss it! We wanted to get this out fast, so excuse the lack of editing and please excuse Riley for the lack of enthusiam, he's just a grump this week! Follow us on twitter: @grandmofftalkin @jacobcrites @thejazcamille @rilesbowman

110 - D23 News Gunray

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Sun, 25 Aug 2019 16:45:02 +0000

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. So join us as we discuss the very near future of Star Wars! Follow us on twitter: @grandmofftalkin @jacobcrites @thejazcamille @rilesbowman Or send us an email: grandmofftalkin@gmail.com

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!

It's time for another Fan Fiction Theater! In keeping with the theme of last week's episode we read this story: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2688370/1/Go-the-Distance about Jedi Knight Kyle Katarn.

This week on Grand Moff Talkin', after some Fallen Order News Gunray, we discuss a favorite Star Wars video game of ours: Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast It's a game starring Kyle Katarn, on an adventure to relearn the Jedi ways. We go into plot details, play some clips from the game, and generally talk about how much we love it.

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. Follow us on twitter: @grandmofftalkin @jacobcrites @rilesbowman Or send us an email at: grandmofftalkin@gmail.com

100 - Grand Moff Talkin'

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Sun, 09 Jun 2019 17:33:50 +0000

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 for joining us along this 2 year journey. Keep tweeting at us, keep joining our Discord server and we'll keep saying dumb things into our microphones for as long as we can! Follow us on twitter: @grandmofftalkin @eyewreck @jacobcrites @rilesbowman @jazbrock_ And send us an email if you want: grandmofftalkin@gmail.com

99 - Lightsabers

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Sun, 02 Jun 2019 20:38:24 +0000

This week we talked about one of the most iconic parts of Star Wars, the Lightsaber!

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Sun, 26 May 2019 18:14:07 +0000

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, checking the book out for yourself! Follow us on twitter: @grandmofftalkin @jacobcrites @rilesbowman

97 - Fan Fiction Theater III

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Sun, 19 May 2019 17:55:58 +0000

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 has cemented the fact that we may need to start screening future Fan Fics! If you're very curious I'm sure you can find it! Follow us on twitter: @grandmofftalkin @jacobcrites @rilesbowman

96 - The Empire Strikes Back Commentary (Part 2)

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Sun, 12 May 2019 18:49:26 +0000

95 - The Empire Strikes Back Commentary (Part 1)

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Sun, 05 May 2019 18:44:47 +0000

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! Follow us on twitter: @grandmofftalkin @jacobcrites @rilesbowman Or send us an email: grandmofftalkin@gmail.com

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 movie is. We'll return to Star Wars next week, I promise! Follow us on twitter: @grandmofftalkin @jacobcrites @rilesbowman And send us an email: grandmofftalkin@gmail.com

93 - Fan Fiction Theater II

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Sun, 21 Apr 2019 20:02:23 +0000

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/7386/1/Daddy-Gave-Me-A-Name And if you would like to share fan fiction you've written, we would love to read it!

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Sun, 07 Apr 2019 16:02:45 +0000

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 @jacobcrites @rilesbowman and spoilers: @eyewreck

90 - Fan Fiction Theater I

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Sun, 24 Mar 2019 21:39:04 +0000

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-Council-The-Sith-Historian story written all the way back in 1999, in a new series we're calling Fan Fiction Theater! We really enjoyed the story, and had a fun time trying to make a (semi)dramatic reading out of it! If you've ever written fan fiction in the past and would want us to read it on the show, you can email us at: grandmofftalkin@gmail.com Or tweet at us: @grandmofftalkin @jacobcrites @rilesbowman We love Fan Fiction!

89 - NJO: Hero's Trial

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!

This week Jake and Riley discuss how to force is portrayed in movies, as well as how it evolved over the decades and trilogies.

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!

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 of Star Wars, but we certainly can talk about our feelings and how wonderful all these songs on!

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Mon, 26 Feb 2018 00:19:53 +0000

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 down to discuss some of those moments and books that we look back on with fondness. If you're feeling nostalgic for the stories and characters that made up a huge chunk of Star Wars lore just remember: There's always a bit of truth in Legends.

GMT Throwback - Return to Ord Mantell

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Mon, 05 Feb 2018 02:39:55 +0000

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 now that you possibly like us more! We'll be back to a normal episode next week (Hopefully) In the meantime, follow us on twitter! @grandmofftalkin @jazbrock__ @jacobcrites @eyewreck @rilesbowman Or join our discord server, where we've been arguing all night about the new trailer!

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Sun, 28 Jan 2018 08:18:36 +0000

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 it is. We'll be back with more focus in about two weeks, ready to talk about Star Wars and have a bunch of fun. In the meantime, why don't you follow us on Twitter to keep in touch! @grandmofftalkin @jazbrock__ @eyewreck @jacobcrites @rilesbowman And once you follow us there, ask one of us for an invite to the Discord server.

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 podcasters lead a desperate mission to rescue Sanity....

"What's your favorite Star Wars movie?" It's a question all Star Wars fans ask each other to get to know each other better. "What's the best Star Wars movie?"

Sure, this week's episode delves deep into the age-old conflict between the Jedi and the Sith. Sure, the Moffz talk about the curious prevalence of shoulder pack missile launcher grappling hooks. Sure, the history of the Sears-Roebuck labor ethics are discussed in extravagant detail. But all of this pales in comparison to the surprise introduction of a new, special addition to the GMT-crew: D.A.R.E. Officer Isaac. So put a little pep in your step with this week's ep of Grand Moff Talkin'! If you would like to know more about our lives, personally, the easiest way to do that is find us on twitter! We have like, hardly any followers, so you're guaranteed that we'll respond to you. Unless you don't want that, then we'll just leave you alone, okay? Anyway I got off track, follow us here: @grandmofftalkin @eyewreck @jacobcrites @rilesbowman You can also send an email to grandmofftalkin@gmail.com but apparently it's 2017 and nobody does that any more. Thanks for listening! We love you the most! (You know who you are. Yes we really mean you!)

15 - State of Star Wars

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Mon, 21 Aug 2017 03:07:42 +0000

Grab your stick and throw a nugget: it's time for Grand Moff Talkin'! After discussing the latest news (Gunray)(Is that legal?) and balancing positivity and criticism, the boyz-with-a-Z get to the one question that has plagued mankind from the beginning of time itself: "Do you think of McDonalds when you go into Chipotle?" And then they get to another question, which is, "How's Star Wars these days?" Join Riley, Jake, and Isaac in a rousing discussion of the current state of the franchise, their trepidations for future entries, and the disturbingly quality of a certain podcast called Grand Moff Talkin'. Follow the gang on twitter, if you're so inclined to use such an app. @grandmofftalkin @eyewreck @jacobcrites @rilesbowman Or send us an email or whatever, grandmofftalkin@gmail.com Thanks for listening, loyal fans. And you know what, we'll even thank YOU for listening, DISloyal fans!

13 - Thrawn

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Mon, 07 Aug 2017 00:30:46 +0000

The good news is the Boyz are finally grand moff talking about something that happened in the year of our lord 2017. The bad news is that Jake is a real bummer about it. This week on Grand Moff Talkin', it's Timothy Zahn's novel "Thrawn". Jake is so sad that he was a bummer, that's all he sent me for a description. Know what would make him feel better? If you followed him on twitter! @jacobcrites You can also follow the rest of us! @grandmofftalkin @eyewreck @rilesbowman And as always send us an email! grandmofftalkin@gmail.com Bye, thanks for listening!

12 - Episode VIII Predictions

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Mon, 31 Jul 2017 01:20:45 +0000

The Boyz may have recorded this before The Last Jedi behind the scenes trailer came out, but that won't stop them from releasing the chillest episode of Grand Moff Talkin' yet! That's right: it's the tired, bloated ramblings that constitute Riley, Jake and Isaac's Episode VIII predictions! Sup with Rey? Sup with Kylo? Sup with Porgs and/or Porgies? All this and more on a very sleepy Grand Moff Talkin'! You can follow all of us on Twitter, if you would be so inclined! @grandmofftalkin @eyewreck @jacobcrites @rilesbowman Thanks for listening, (especially you, you know who you are!) we'll see you next time!

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Fri, 28 Jul 2017 00:31:12 +0000

It's another scholarly dive into the literary realm of Star Wars Expanded Universe children's books as the Moffs dive into Isaac's pick: Jedi Apprentice: The Deadly Hunter! Gracefully thread your PLUMP fingers to your podcast app and immerse yourself in the book's sprawling vistas of diners, hotels, and that's basically it. If you think you smell some sauce that's a little too spicy, it's probably this episode of GRAND MOFF TALKIN'.

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Mon, 17 Jul 2017 01:06:28 +0000

With the movies behind them, the Moffing Talkers move onto what truly matters: you. They asked for your questions on the Force, and now they're answering them in the most long-winded, tangential way possible! Plus, the Boyz catch up on all the news (gunray) that's happened in the month since their last recording sesh, such as the departure of Lorde and Frank Miller, The Forces of Destiny's Child, and the latest film from Trevorrow Never Dies. It's the first in a new non-film-discussion era of Grand Moff Talkin!

E-Eww #2 - The Glove of Darth Vader

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Thu, 13 Jul 2017 22:48:19 +0000

The Moffing Talkers' deep-dive into the Star Wars EU continues with Riley's pick: The Glove of Darth Vader. Enclosed you will discover a MID (Most Imperial Discussion) of acronyms, the plight of SW's (Space Whales), and a yearbook featuring MOM's (Multitude of Moffs). It's time to curl up with a good book...and then close the book so you can listen to this week's episode of E-Eww!

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Mon, 10 Jul 2017 00:27:59 +0000

It's finally come to this. The final half of our final discussion of the Star Wars films (...until Episode 8). Laughs! Tears! Fears!

8 - The Force Awakens (Part Won)

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Mon, 03 Jul 2017 01:06:34 +0000

It's the beginning of the end (of their movie discussions, anyway) as the GMT Three discuss Star Wars Episode 7: The Force Gets Woke. Riley's love of the opening words of opening crawls continues, Isaac questions Finn's vernacular, and Jake presents an important philosophical question on Star Wars names that may crumble the foundations of over a hundred years of cinematic discourse. It's another Star Wars love-fest on this week's Grand Moff Talkin'! Send us a question or comment by email to grandmofftalkin@gmail.com or you can find us on twitter! @grandmofftalkin @jacobcrites @eyewreck and @rilesbowman We're gonna record again soon, so now's the time to say hi, we'll be so excited that we'll say hi back on the podcast!

E Eww #1 - Return to Ord Mantell

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Fri, 30 Jun 2017 01:17:45 +0000

"Star Wars is wonderful even when it's terrible, which brings up to E-Eww," the semi-regular series discussing the so-bad-they're-good entries in the Legends canon. This time Jake gets the rare opportunity to talk for far too long about something as he discusses the unlegendary-Legends entry, "Young Jedi Knights: Return to Ord Mantell." Han! Lowbacca! Jaina! Anakin! Anja! Lil' Kim! DJ 3D-MC! Farms! Mountaineers! Knaars both dog and wall! It's the middle school book report you never asked for on a book you never read, only on Grand Moff Talkin'! If you wanna send a question or somethin', email us at grandmofftalkin@gmail.com or if you wanna tweet at Jake so he sends you the book he's @jacobcrites oh yeah and there's @grandmofftalkin @eyewreck and @rilesbowman too!

7 - The Original Trilogy

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Mon, 26 Jun 2017 00:41:00 +0000

Driven by a distressing combination of hubris, boredom, and chicken poison, the Boyz attempt to discuss all three Orginal Trilogy films in one sitting! The mystery of Isaac's trench-run hate is solved! Jake's terrible RotJ opinions are revealed! And Riley is frustratingly reasonable on all points, but Isaac and Jake abuse him anyway. It's mostly Star Wars most of the time on Grand Moff Talkin'! If you'd like to send us a question, or comment, or invite to your wedding, you can email us at grandmofftalkin@gmail.com. You can also follow and talk with us on twitter! @grandmofftalkin @eyewreck @jacobcrites and @rilesbowman . Thanks for listening!

6 - Rogue One (Part Two)

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Mon, 19 Jun 2017 01:14:14 +0000

When has become now: The GMT Patron Saint himself, Grand Moff Tarkin, formally enters the discussion, and he's shinier than ever! Tarkin! Krennic! K2S-Jokes! It's three buds Talkin' 'bout three of the main ones in round one of Part Two of Rogue One!

In the first ever Minor Moff Talkin', Riley, Jake, and Isaac introduce a new semi-regular Legends-centric series: E-Eww! Also, the Boyz list the Top 5 things they learned from a certain Rodeo.

5 - Rogue One (Part 1)

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Sun, 11 Jun 2017 23:36:47 +0000

The Boyz finally agree on the quality of a Star Wars movie in Rogue One: A "The Wars" Story! Is this the best looking Star Wars movie? Is Giacchino's score low-key incredible? Will Jake ever shut up? (No) All this and more on this week's Grand Moff Talktacular! Send any and all questions to grandmofftalkin@gmail.com, or follow us on twitter @grandmofftalkin, @rilesbowman, @jacobcrites, @eyewreck. We love you!

4 - Revenge of the Sith

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Sun, 04 Jun 2017 22:10:01 +0000

To the relief of Riley and the chagrin of Isaac and Jake, our discussion of the prequel trilogy comes to a close with a sprawling chat about the novelization of Revenge of the Sith, and occasionally even the movie. Does Anakin's fall to the dark side work? Does Palpatine look like a bloated bullfrog? Do we like Star Wars? The answers to all these and more on this week's Grand Moff Talkin'! If you feel the need to contact any of us you can email grandmofftalkin@gmail.com, or find us on twitter @grandmofftalkin, @rilesbowman, @jacobcrites and @eyewreck.

3 - Attack of the Clones

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Mon, 29 May 2017 01:23:11 +0000

This week, Riley, Jake, and Isaac talk at obscene length about the Kroger VHS smash, Attic of the Clones. Listen in amazement as the three discuss/debate the merits of Ring Theory, the coolness of Dex's diner, and the confusing appearance of a chauvinistic man from the 1940's who keeps popping their studio. It's the most combative episode of Grand Moff Talkin' yet, and we must say, one of the finest we have ever created.

2 - The Phantom Menace (Part B)

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Sun, 21 May 2017 23:20:14 +0000

To finish their discussion of The Phantomeness's totality, Riley, Jake, and Isaac debate: Qui-Gon's morality, Shmi's inevitable fatality, and the space battle's banality. It's all "-ality's", all the time on Grand Moff Talkin'!

1 - The Phantom Menace (Part I)

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Mon, 15 May 2017 00:06:39 +0000

In the first and worst episode of Grand Moff Talkin', Riley, Jake and Isaac discuss: their 100% mutual love of the prequels, Lego appendage transplants, the unsung heroics of Battle Droid #1 [editor's note: OOM-9], and laborious sports metaphors. It's the mumbling, cross-talking, scene-by-scene breakdown of The Phantom Menace you never asked for or wanted, all for the low price of an hour of your free time!

0 - Introduction

grandmofftalkin@gmail.com (Jake, Riley and Jazmin) — Sun, 07 May 2017 02:11:39 +0000

Here's just a taste of what's the come on Grand Moff Talkin'! We're gonna try to upload on Mondays, but bear with us in the beginning! We're all very, very new at this.
