  • Give Rik a listen!

    Rik puts on a good show. He does excellent reviews of the literature of Star Wars as well as presenting his thought on the visual media as well. While I may not always share his, it’s nice to have a different opinion/alternate perspective and I appreciate his honest, from the heart reviews. Truly a good podcaster and worth a listen to gain alternative points of view. Thanks Rik!

  • Honest thoughts on all facets of Star Wars from an OG fan

    Rik's thoughts on the franchise from a galaxy far, far away are thorough, honest, and unfiltered. Whether it's the movies, shows, novels, comics or collecting, Rik brings his unique perspective to the podcast. He's a trustworthy source for intelligent discourse and stays away from the brain-dead hot-take factory that infests too much social media. I cannot recommend Jammed Transmissions enough.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode CLXIX - Low Red Moon: The Mike Chen Interview
Q: How did your approach to ND5's point of view shape the novel, and why present-first for a droid narrator?
He explains that presenting ND5 in first person allowed readers to experience autonomy and evolving sentience from a non-human perspective, while editorial guidance balanced pace and emotional depth, making ND5 a central conduit for the story's themes.
Episode CLXIX - Low Red Moon: The Mike Chen Interview
Q: What was it like getting confirmation you were writing for Star Wars, and specifically your Palpatine story for The Empire Strikes Back?
Chen recalls feeling overwhelmed but hopeful, notes the editor call and a number of pitches, and explains how Palpatine was a challenging but rewarding choice that allowed him to weave Clone Wars elements and Padme into a pivotal, canon-defining moment.
Episode CLXIX - Low Red Moon: The Mike Chen Interview
Q: When did you first get the bug to start putting pen to paper or keyboard to page?
Mike Chen describes starting around eight years old, drawing his own comic strips and finding later how that early impulse evolved into writing fiction, with a strong emphasis on character moments and how people react to high-stakes events.
Episode CXLVIII - The Glass Abyss w/ Steven Barnes
Q: Do you think you would have written Mace this way had you written this book 20 years ago?
No, I think I am a little more, I'm more self-confident now.
Episode CXLVIII - The Glass Abyss w/ Steven Barnes
Q: What was the impetus to give him a romantic interest in the story?
To humanize him.
