Making these into special episodes that come around every every now and then rather than a weekly commitment is a really good idea, since it feels like you'll have much more meat for the occasional episode considering there is a relative lack of enough relevant Star Wars content that interests all hosts.

Having it once in a while will also make it more of an event, and while I do enjoy the connection and banter between all three hosts, I think a chunk of people do want more for them to talk about in a structured manner than spending a lot of the episode responding to superchats.

So it turns out the only thing that was being grifted.. was my heart 😢

Ironic… Mauler could save others from the short… but not himself.

[rustyshackleford]

mauler leaving was inevitable, dude is on every show this side of YT. his tism and ryans gayness will be missed, this was a good crew. on to the next!

[drayiii]

Proof that MauLer is mortal- even Star Grift was beyond his long reach

constructive criticism for theory: When you have 2 pretty popular youtubers devoting their time to do a podcast with you.... its probably not a great look to be buried in your phone half the time not paying attention to what theyre saying. I noticed so many times they had to repeat themselves because you werent paying attention so no wonder they left. It comes off as rude and like you have better things to do so why should they put forth the effort when you arent?

Also a lot of the time theyd give in depth responses and youd just be like "oh okay but whatr u gonna do" then move on to the next topic... Gotta give better responses to your co hosts and act like u wanna be there lol

Star Grift was hilarious guys. Ryan, Mauler, and Theory was the WWE style triple threat we needed every week piledriving and teabagging Disney into the mat. You guys work really well together and i'm sad to see it won't continue on a weekly basis.

[ThePTurtle]

There’s just not enough content to make for Star Grift. Star Wars is depressing and boring now. So it’s not surprising. Mauler was always interesting to listen to, but he wasn’t invested in Star Wars like the show needed him to be. And I don’t blame him.

I think Theory should branch out and hang with Mauler on his podcast. Converse about new topics.

[HappinessPunch]

I was really enjoying Star Grift too. Have a feeling that Disney Star Wars is going to get even worse once The Acolyte drops. SWT is the only Star Wars channel that I still love. The other channels just shill out of their minds for Disney. I’m enjoying The Bad Batch, mostly because of Crosshair, but the great animated content can’t make up for all of the dumpster fire live-action shows and movies. Had a lot of fun watching this podcast!

[super-based]

I came here because of Mauler, and then Ryan, and now I'm following and supporting Theory

Cheers 🍻

[HectorLopez]

When I saw the title I thought it was clickbait because of debating Anakin in ROTS. Sad to hear the grift ending on a weekly basis but we’ll always have jar jar and Maul have a kid and Yoda Yaddle fanfic

[maccajunior]

You can see how much Theory is sad this is ending and i say that says alot about how great the chemistry is with these guys. Was becoming my favourite vid to watch all week :(

[jtpj]

Hi Theory, upsetting but you should bring Chris Gore on next. He praises your channel a lot and I found out about your channel through him.

[coyotebongwater]

Saw this coming. 3 hours of quietly skipping though super chats with the occasional banter inbetween wasn’t built to last. Don’t blame Mauler. I think theory would be better off having segments prepared in future Star Wars Mondays. Having personalities like Ryan and mauler just to read super chats is kind of a waste

[Blank-jtnj]

My disappointment is immeasurable, and my Mondays are ruined

[sithlorddarthbong]

Gonna miss my weekly episodes of Star Grift...
I'll be looking forward to the special episodes after the final one next week...
May the force be with us all through these soon to be dark star griftless times.

[melodysdanceoff]

I really enjoy the show. I totally get everyones got stuff going on but i hope you guys can make them a little more regular than just when a show ends. Maybe like once every couple months just as a hang out or something.

[Darklighter]

Maybe Ryan and Mauler got tired of being on a podcast where the third person (host) is barely paying attention?

Just a thought...
