About Us

What is The Star Wars Report? Well simply put, The Star Wars Report is a website and podcast network dedicated to covering all the latest Star Wars news. From the Expanded Universe to The Clone Wars, from the live action series to The Old Republic, AND the upcoming Star Wars Sequel trilogy and other new Star Wars films, The Star Wars Report is your source for in-depth news coverage from that galaxy far, far away.

Who Are These People?

Riley Blanton

I’m the founder of this craziness. It’s my fault. I started this site back in April 2011. Wow, as I write this, that’s nearly 2 years ago. What a time it’s been. I host the flagship podcast here on the network, the Star Wars Report. I’ve been a fan of the saga since I saw The Phantom Menace on the tiny, 19 inch, tube-top TV back in 2005.

Bethany Blanton

Co-Founder, co-host, and… A SISTER?! That’s right! Riley’s sister joined him from the shows inception. Her optimism to the world of Fandom and Podcasting make every episode fun to listen to with its contrast of varying points of view.

Mark Hurliman

Co-founder, co-host, hailing originally from the EUCast, Mark joined what was The Bothan Report as it’s EU Correspondent, He brings a more versed background of knowledge when dealing with the “Expanded Universe” side of Star Wars.

    What is going on with the feed? I can’t get any new episodes to show up. The last one is SWBTF #39 Mercy Killings. I am using the BeyondPod app for Android.

      Hello Ramy! Thanks for listening to SWR podcasts!
      I’m not seeing anything on the feed from our end of things. Although, I did recently fix the feed to where you can now download all of the episodes rather than the most recent 10. That may have something to do with it. If you don’t mind, I’d try another podcast app (I’ve heard good things about Pocketcasts https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=au.com.shiftyjelly.pocketcasts&hl=en )
      See if other app are having the same problem and let me know via email: starwarsreport [at] gmail.com
