Remember boys, if Disney copy right strikes this then Garand Thumb is officially Star Wars canon.

When your sith lord boss says "No Disintegrations", but you instead heard "Know Disintegrations".

i love how seemlesly Garand Thumb and the whole crew can swap between satire and serious and its made so much better by the fact that Mike isnt just your average Starwars fan playing dressup talking about scifi guns this was absolutely epic i think theres ample opportunities for different scifi weapons you could do i just cant wait until someone figures out a working bolter from Warhammer 40k

He learned star wars lore just for us. I love this guy.

The most impressive part of this whole video, is the fact they stayed perfectly in character the whole time. I loved this.

garand thumb is actually a multi universe being that travels to give us these reviews

As a former purge-trooper who has combat experience using an Amban it was kind of fun seeing the Jedi be so scared by me disintegrating their comrades with ease, the terror in their eyes made me feel so powerful,I do currently still have my Amban phase rifle with me as a reminder of the fear and respect there was for me when the empire was still in power

I’m still blown away (disintegrated away in this case) how this rifle looks so accurate to the Star Wars universe and still functions in real life. Great job on this custom build!

Fun fact, mandalorians got tired of lightsaber wielders deflecting their blaster bolts, so they started using "slug throwers" (what we know as guns) so when the lightsaber wielders would try to deflect the shots, it would send molten metal straight into them at supersonic speeds instead. I believe some of them also used scatterguns, which made it impossible to block all the little pellets.

You would do awesome as a cameo in the Mandalorian series. Like Bill Burr has played a retired Imperial trooper, you could be a veteran of the Empire who traffics arms, then Mando has to come to you to get a rare weapon. Seem like you’d actually be a good comedic character actor.

The thumbnail, the jokes, the lore. This officially my favorite gun review channel

The fact you guys got a actual working and firing model of this is crazy. Love to see it, and love the dedication that goes in to these types of productions, and the attention to detail. Really, really cool stuff.

Saying this as a former Alliance mobile infantryman, the stuff I fought for really isn’t being talked about in the New Republic Senate. I don’t have much love for Imps but you put out some charming holovids. So lucky for you guys to have such rare weapons on hand and special people to interview.

I know this is supposed to be a April’s Fools joke, but I love to see more like this. Like when Ian reviewed the Chinese assault rifle from Fallout 3.

As a huge Star Wars nerd and gun collector this video was epic! Well done fellas!

As a former heavy gunner, I’m always happy to watch your vids on the holoprojector, I’ve actually seen a couple of these on the field, thankfully on our side. These things are like relics.

As a guy who’s been walking around with a Mythosaur skull on his forearm for the last 20 years & been shooting guns for twice that this episode brings me much joy. This is the way.

I can't tell if Mike is just a massive star wars fan or if he just researched the subjects for this video really well. In any case, this is probably the most legendary Garand Thumb video I have ever seen.

I love how you actually kept to a well written script for this video making it as if it were in the universe

I've been watching gun videos for awhile on UKposts. Only discovered this channel about 2 weeks ago. Can't stop watching and this was a cherry on top.

Mike must have a pretty good understanding of the Star Wars lore to produce a video of this quality. As a lore nut and a gun nut, I am proud to say this video was IMMEDIETLY added to my favorites.

I think Mike has officially reviewed every firearm on Earth so he’s digging into other off world weaponry. Well played, sir.

Awesome video! Thanks to everyone who worked to make this happen - you guys all rock! May the Force be with you

The time and energy you put into these videos for us is unmatched. I’d be willing to bet that your intro’s alone require more prep,time,and editing them 99% of all content creators in this niche. Thank you for the great content yet again.

You know honestly, thank you Mike and Micha and Charley for making these videos and like staying in character the whole time, it’s cool to see and the cinematography is nothing but amazing and it’s nice to see someone as big as you guys not take things so seriously. It’s ok to have fun!! Thanks for always showing that!

I love the fact that even though he's doing a review on a fictional weapon he puts absolute 100% of his personality into it and makes it as legit as possible while still being completely entertaining . You guys are the best!!!

I like that you and Ian did lore friendly reviews, great job!

This was amazing. Your productions just keep getting better. Gonna have a hard time topping this one next year!

So awesome that Din Djarin was able to take time out of his day to come out and hang out with you guys. Honestly, probably one of the best, most vocal guests on the show. Glad to see him showing respects to the Outer Systems. Praise.

I’m gonna need a whole series on the Star Wars guns now after this

This is so fun to watch as a star wars uber fan - the references to in-universe locations and weapons are on point - but also as somebody who is a fan of guntubers to see what that profession would be like in-universe, and you nailed it.

Theres something special about the mix of old school and scifi bits on guns. Love when Scifi has all the fancy metal parts, shoots lasers, etc... but still has the old flint lock mechanism and wood furniture.

This was art on multiple levels, not only as an AFJ with high production value, not only as a love-letter to SW, but also as a brilliant satire of the channel itself -- it's just so refreshing to see anyone online who's not afraid to laugh at themselves. Well done, sirs.

My dad worked for BlasTech during the transition between the Republic and the Empire, and he said that the Chancellor's Office directly requested they started making these kriffing things less than a week before The Empire was formed. Before they even *designed* the E-11!

Superb work on this one! Thank you everyone at GT. Please make more.

This was so cool, I love how it actually shoots like it does in the show. Also the Springfield makes so much sense as a base.

I freaking love the sci-fi immersion episodes. First Halo, now Star Wars. Keep it up guys. Love this channel

Dude, this production and staying in character is actually impressive.

"I fired some kind of load the other night" - Charlie is a national treasure!

This is fantastic! Probably the best thing I have seen on UKposts.

As a "forcibly retired" Scout Trooper that was stationed on Kashyyyk, I think it's great seeing an archaic weapon be featured on the channel. Me and the boys would've loved to get our hands on that thing when fighting the Wookie terrorists. The EE-4 just didn't pack enough punch to easily take down a charging furball of death.

I wouldn’t even be suprised if Garand can get and Fire an IRL Bergman 1894

Perfection. I loved every second! Keep crushing it!

Pure Gold. Just when you thought Garandthumb was getting stale, you get innovation at its finest. I hope that was Charlie in the Mano suit.

As a science-fiction fan who also is interested in weapon design and development., This tickles the fancy and definitely pushes all the buttons.. this was absolutely brilliant All of you did an amazing job staying in character!!

Mandalorian exchange program going really well I see

This is the way! Good job boys. May the force be with you

Well done! 🙏 thoroughly informative and entertaining

I’d love to see you guys test a Phase Plasma rifle in a 40 watt range.

The Springfield trapdoor is one of my favourite historical firearms of all time, and I would have never thought in a thousand years to use it as a base for the Amban rifle

I seriously laughed out loud, made me feel like a kid again!!! Good job guys!!!

This "remember to have fun" video was perfect timing. Thank you. Awesome fun, awesome reminder.

The drip, the lore, the random nerd references. This videos is a cinematic masterpiece 🤌

A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one. I wanted a trapdoor Springfield review on the channel at some point.

Expensive and really entertaining, you are all very creative and talented, this is some real good work👍👍👍

The creativeness of this episode is over the top! I freaking love it! Nothing like this anywhere! Great episode. You guys can make anything cool!

Awesome work by all involved, loved how you kept it all in character. This is the way!

As a native Felucian I’m very jealous you got to use a disruptior rifle! We don’t even find them out here in the Outer Rim! I grew up using a DC-15 blaster rifle, they are pretty common after the clone wars. They are heavier but I get good accuracy, enough to hunt juvenile Acklays.

This is one of the only videos I watched the ads for. Dedication is unreal ❤

This is so awesome!!! I immediately subbed after watching the garand thumb gets garand thumb on garand thumb😂 LOVE the content sir!

I didn’t think anything could be more combat effective than an MA5. This is for sure a scary weapon.

I had a friend who hunted with an original trapdoor 45/70, he always kept two extra rounds in his left hand, between his fingers, you can't believe how fast he could fire three rounds, it was amazing.

You guys are TOO MUCH for this! Excellent video!!

Two of my favorite things I grew up with, guns and Star Wars. Awesome job boys 👏🏻

This is absolutely superb, I understand it’s not something you could do every day even if you wanted to, but you absolutely could produce these professionally. The production quality is superb, the weapon fires and your acting is fantastic - you never once broke character.

As a Star Wars and Garand Thumb fan, this video tickles me in all the right spots. That rifle is beyond badass and so is that Mandalorian armor. Also A+ for all the Star Wars lore knowledge and references.

This was really great, couldn't watch it all but really great production and informational video.

Masterful. All around amazing. Love this channel.

Garand Thumb is like the Doctor Who of the gun world, it doesn't matter where or when the weapon was made or used, HE WILL BE THERE TO SHOOT IT

Great video! I once had an Amban myself. Different model, over under, break barrel version. Traded an old speeder, some questionable evaporators, and 800 credits to a Corellian acquaintance. I obviously got the better of that deal lol. Served me well. Sadly, I loned it to an Alderaanian friend who needed it for quick Rancor control on a farm he invested in over in the middle rim region. Took it home to show it off on his way out there and that's the last I heard of him or my Amban.

The humor and camera panning in this was amazing!!

In all serious conversations. You rock the fantasy and the fact! Keep up the great work.

Its really great to finally see some more non-blaster weapons on the channel, it's probably difficult to find but more of these videos please!

The last time I recall you going into so much lore of a sci-fi product was that Halo gun a few years back. This video completely blew that one out by the way everyone in the video stayed in character and done so naturally that it felt so immersive!! You guys are not just a quality gun channel. Y’all are a legit professional production company. I mean, even making the entire “prop” rifle to actually fire is just way too cool!

9:36 The amount of emotion shown in this scene without showing mando’s face is incredible

I had to think for a moment at the beginning of this to realize it wasn't from an actual episode! Well-made and fun.

Seeing a review of a mandalorian ripper that is completely lore accurate was the highlight of my day. This was awesome

My grandfather actually utilized this as part of the wookie militia. I can always remember the stories and jokes he’d tell. “OHWHHOHAAAAHPHHHOOAOOA” ahhh, I miss those stories grandpa.

The commitment is next level. I’m obsessed 💗

I love it when you do stuff like this just.. without breaking character. At all. 100000/10

Do you understand how much of a service you're doing to our culture when you put out videos like this!? Not only are they great for the regular viewer due to the entertainment value, but videos like this reach entirely new demographics! Chunks of people who otherwise may never be exposed to this side of UKposts....props man. What you're doing is maaassssiiive

It is illegal for Mike to be this good in the Lore and on Acting as well.

I normally don’t comment but it’s super impressive that you went full actor on this and kept it up I like your videos in general but this was on another level well done

I really appreciate the knowledge and research that went into his 😂 u really gained alot of starters knowledge for this

18:22 caught me off-guard LMAO That is an absolutely beautiful rifle, the fact that it actually fires makes it 100x better!

Super impressed with your Star Wars knowledge and the work that you all put in for these videos every week! Fan for life.

such a great video - thank you for this review!!!

Watching your Holovids always brings a smile to my face, you remind me of one of the troopers I served with while I was in the Imperial Navy.

Like a true SW fan, they went with *_practical_* special effects! ❤️ Kudos to your engineer's armor, _and_ to that gunsmith for his work. What a stellar video... 🤘

I got my geek on and my firearms needs met in a single video. My day is done. Thank you.

Seriously, love the channel. The intros are always the best, could watch them all day long. More of that please, y'all could damn near make your own short action flix. Would watch the shit out of those or even a compilation of your best intros from the year.

Awesome! What a brilliant idea, must be more from the Star Wars canon you can replicate as 'real' firearms? Really enjoyed your work and presentation, look forward to more in this vein.

There's a company called Kalashnacarver that makes Mando wood furniture for AKs and similar rifles based on some early concept art where they were considering basing the Amban off the Drauginov. The stock is surprisingly comfortable.

I gotta be honest im impressed it only took him 36 man hours to make such a beautiful functional replica. I was expecting >50 hours once mike asked

21:56 was not prepared for that. Great video, as always!

Such an awesome video. Surprisingly good!

I've never seen such a detailed review of the Trapdoor Disruptor, until this Tusken Thumb video. Helmets off to everyone involved!

I was having a bad week before watching this. I love the fact that they played this so straight. Fantastic work! And may the force be with you, always.

It tickles me to watch this video and have a laugh, and then go to my favorite store, Stockpile, and see that same disruptor on the wall up for grabs. 😂 Love the content, and hope to bump into you guys at a range one day!

Former Imperial Droptrooper speaking here. It was a year after the first Death Star was destroyed. I was being deployed to Outer Rim jungle planet of Hissrich. the with my squad to help with complaints about pirates in the area. We had dropped from the Gunship and landed in a clearing. The clearing was next to a rather tall ridge to the south side. We searched around the forests for the pirates. I noticed the pirate on the ridge pointing one of these at us too late. He fired, and in that moment, my friend TK-3643 became dust. We realized the pirate stronghold was on that ridge, so we called in an airstrike and blew up the stronghold. We decided to climb up the cliff to take out the survivors. And guess what? That bastard with the Pulse Rifle survived! He managed to take out my squadmates TK-3849 and TK-9497 before I shot him. If he survived the blaster shot to the chest, he didn't survive the fall. We made it on top and killed the three people that managed to survive. After wiping out the pirates, we called the Gunship back and made it out of the atmosphere. We barely made it out of Hissrich airspace because the pirates had a squadron of stolen TIE Interceptors. We somehow managed to destroy most of the Interceptors and made it back to our main base on what was left of the Lothol dome.
