Hot take that I won’t back down from: the Thrawn canon books (save for the original “Thrawn”) are not good books. It’s 300 pages of confusion followed by 10 pages of Thrawn’s exposition about how smart he is. The shows have redeemed the character for me, because I respect his place in history.

Master of Evil does a lot of interesting things around Darth Vader. So much so that I wish they’d done more and gone farther, which is hard when you cannot have the character change too much and break canon. But a man can have dreams!

After the first two episode of Maul: Shadow Lord, I have full faith & confidence this is happening.

The first two episodes of Maul: Shadow Lord really hit for me, and got me thinking about shadows, shadow selves, and how they work in conjunction with each other for the main characters of the show. Then I wrote about it here: clashingsabers.net/2026/04/07/s...

Sometimes it feels like Star Wars wants to avoid exploring the dark side, but Maul: Shadowlord needs to do exactly that in order to fulfill all of its potential. Cannot wait for next week on Disney+ #starwarsfan #podcasts #maul #starwarsedits #darkside

Maul: Shadowlord is exciting on a number of levels, one of the biggest (at least for me) being that it has the chance to go to places that animation in Star Wars has never been to before. I really hope they lean into that newness and push the boundaries of the sagas themes and motifs.

What do you think about the ending of The Rise of Skywalker? Was it a good way to close out the Skywalker Saga or did it drop the ball? #theriseofskywalker #tros #movies #disney #lucasfilm

Clashing Sabers @clashingsabers.bsky.social · 20/03/2026

The relationship between The Mandalorian and Grogu is something really special, like a man and his best friend. I hope that the new movie explores this deeply, as it’s one of the most compelling elements of the Star Wars saga.

Maul’s unpredictable energy has the chance to make Shadowlord one of the most compelling shows in the history of Star Wars. I stand my ground on that. Make sure to go check out the latest Sith Talk on the Clashing Sabers feed!

This is what the Jedi really got wrong in the prequels, and I hope that future Star Wars movies (looking at you Rey movie!) explore the ideas of feeling emotions more deeply. #fear #emotions #jedi #starwars #podcasts

Hope does not guarantee us victory. It does not promise us that we will prevail. But it is the only thing in the galaxy that gives us the opportunity to do so, and more importantly to do so in the midst of great trial, tragedy, and struggle.

Clashing Sabers @clashingsabers.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

If you’re struggling today, please know that there is hope, and that there are people who love and want you here. It may not feel like it in this moment, but hope promises that that is true. #hope #starwars #awareness #mentalhealth #forlightandlife

George Lucas moved on from Star Wars, so now it’s time for Star Wars to move on from George Lucas. Take more risks. Try new things. If you really want to pay homage to George, do it by being the revolutionaries that he inspired instead of just remaking the same stuff he made.

Star Wars tells us that hope is selfless, thus is of the light. Have hope today, friends, that you will find that light even when it’s hard to see. If you only hold onto hope when you can see it, you’ll never make it through the night. #starwars #hope #leia #thelastjedi #starwarsfan

Even from the very beginning, I was obsessed with Darth Maul. To see what he’s become in the lore of Star Wars is proof that Dave Filoni and the creative team truly know what they’re doing.

020

Clashing Sabers @clashingsabers.bsky.social · 22/08/2025

Hot take: The High Republic is the best-written Star Wars in decades. The Jedi feel real. The villains haunt you. The galaxy feels alive again. If you’re not reading it, you’re missing peak Star Wars. #StarWars #TheHighRepublic

Clashing Sabers @clashingsabers.bsky.social · 05/08/2025

@markhamillofficial.bsky.social apprectiation post! The way the Hamill plays Luke doesn’t get the accolades it deserves for its nuance, relatability, and ability to bring the audience into the galaxy. Words could never fully encapsulate what he pulled off playing Luke Skywalker.

The way A New Hope, and the original trilogy overall, is set up is so that Han is who we want to be, but Luke is who we are. Great part is that they need each other as much as we need community to thrive.
