I am super excited! Next week I am going to Tunisia with Galaxy Tours to see Star Wars and Indiana Jones filming sites, including the Lars moisture farm! I wonder where I can find some blue milk!

When Porkins is advised to eject in A New Hope, what was the plan after that? If the Rebels win, Death Star blows up, Porkins goes boom. If Rebels fail, Porkins gets captured at best, left behind or shot down at worst. But I guess one thing at a time for survival. But he didn't eject. #starwars

What exactly are they gathering in Magic: the Gathering? I don't think it's magic. Turnips, perhaps? 1/1 tokens? Just more cards? Turnips, it is.

When you go back to where you were, usually to find something, we call it retracing your steps. So when you went that way the first time, was that tracing your steps?

I am not sure what I think. D&D with a Star Wars skin? Or a SW RPG with a D&D base, but then building into mechanics that better fit SW? Or a MTG/Star Trek thing - gateway drug / cash grab?

What are some of the oddest products that have licensed cartoon / comic characters as long-time mascots? Here are some of the ones I came up with: 1. Snoopy & MetLife insurance. I imagine the deductible on a dog who constantly sleeps on his roof is pretty high

New episode of @starwarsologies.bsky.social out - on "Awe" in Star Wars. We had a really fascinating discussion with @ethnoethereal.bsky.social about all sorts of aspects of awe, from what astronauts feel when they view deep space, to humility, curiosity, Force ghosts, being a fan, and even Firefly.

Had a delightful time at @originsgamefair.bsky.social in Columbus this past weekend! Tried out quite a few games in the exhibition hall, played a bunch of different maps of Ticket to Ride, and went to some author seminars featuring @farawaypress.com @mandatheginger.bsky.social @kradec.bsky.social.

New episode of @starwarsologies is out! We wrap ourselves in material -- material science, that is, for "Chemistry of Star Wars". Is beskar's secret really in the forging? What gives lightsaber crystals their color? Metal-human interface for prosthetics? Tune in to me & @melissatruth.bsky.social

I really liked the bond between Rotta and Grogu. It felt like Rotta getting to experience something close to the childhood he never had.

James Floyd @jamesjawa.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

Rotta is the main character in Mando&Grogu. He has more growth and change in his character than Mando or Grogu, but the film is told from Mando&Grogu's POV. In this essay, I will... .

I imagine they'd be surprised when the helmet came off and he looked human and wasn't an adult Grogu 😀

James Floyd @jamesjawa.bsky.social · 23/05/2026

Imagine seeing Mando & Grogu as your first step into SW, not knowing anything at all about SW. What questions would you have (no spoilers) I'd want to get answers to: - Why does this guy have a toddler & bring it around everywhere? - is his name Mando the Mandalorian? - how baby magic? What else?

So in #starwars A New Hope, the Tisken swings his gaffi stick at Luke several times, ostensibly to axe him. Luke dodges then faints and the Tursken claims victory. Why wasn't Luke actually struck? (No sign of injury)

Hot take: Maul was his name before being Darth Maul because Nightbrothers get cool sinister names, and Sidious was like, that's cool enough, let's just stick with it. Then after leaving the Sith, he went back to Maul, cuz that was his name.

At what point in Grogu's life, will his eyes change from his big black to Yoda / Yardley type more humanoid eyes? Or is he just different (genetic variation or different sub-species) #themandalorianandgrogu
