The hardest part of having a story about peace in Star Wars is the problem of narrative! In our latest podcast ep, @chriskempshall.bsky.social shares what one of those stories could look like and he's right, it would be a tough sell!

It's the first Beaumont Kin Day! A year ago today 'Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire' was published in the UK (and on the 7th in the US) and readers got the chance to discover just how important Beaumont was to the book he had 'written'. It was a secret we'd carefully guarded.

I think Tony Gilroy was able to do what he did not because he's a fan of Star Wars, but because he's a fan of history. He's a fan of the human tales, a fan of conveying challenging and intriguing concepts to an audience. Then he understands & respects how to tell it in the language of Star Wars!

Which Star Wars character would be the absolute worse to have as a coworker? For Emmy nominated producer, Juan Montes, no question at all – C-3P0 would be a DISASTER in a live TV control room! Listen now & find out who would be the best at it! New ep up now!

Every collector has their favorite item! But what’s that ONE Star Wars item you regret not buying when you had a chance? For me it was the TVC Rebels Ghost ship from @hasbropulse.bsky.social !...I mean, just look at it! With the Ghost Crew too! (SMH in regret)

Andor Season 2 premieres tomorrow! Can't wait to see what comes of the puppeteer of the rebellion, Luthen! He's like the other side of the Palpatine coin when it comes to manipulation! Who's the character you're really excited to see what's next for them?

This is the perfect time to celebrate Star Wars everywhere! What's one thing about life that Star Wars has taught you that has stuck with you ever since? This line like a mantra for me - "You just walk in like you belong." Almost works all the time! What are the lessons you use on the daily?

I watched this Boba Fett Kenner Star Wars figure commercial & when they got to the part with the cutting out of the proof of purchase...I mean the way that backing is just being bent & cut into...not going to lie, it made me a little queasy.

Oh, this looks good!! I really enjoyed SHADOW OF THE SITH so have some high expectations for MASTER OF EVIL! But I know @adamchristopher.me can deliver! As a side note, Adam brought the Cap2 Kenner Mini-Rig into Star Wars canon! Are there any new Mini-Rigs in this next book?

What Does Star Wars Mean To You? @starwarsmean2u.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

Rose Hawk (RoRoMuffins) just got into Star Wars & now it seems that it's following her everywhere! Star Wars is a lot like the Force b/c as Yoda says, "Its energy surrounds us and binds us." In short, it IS everywhere! How do you get your daily dose of Star Wars?

So this is my big swing prediction for Star Wars" Andor Season 2, much like L3-37 was put into the Falcon, B2EMO's programming (soul?) will be put into K-2SO and that's why he's so loyal to Andor...and kind of child like! What do you think? Any big swing predictions?

Reading Star Wars: The Mask of Fear (Reign of the Empire) and realized if i were making episodes X, XI &XII, I would have the Separists, after two generations of trying to rebuild & seeing weakess in the New Republic after the New Order, decide it's time to rise again

Who wants to see a Luthen's origin story? Will Andor S2 have it? Or will it be another Star Wars story down the line? I'd love to see what led him to say "I wake up every day to an equation I wrote 15 years ago from which there’s only one conclusion, I’m damned for what I do."

What Does Star Wars Mean To You? @starwarsmean2u.bsky.social · 21/03/2025

Is there anything more Star Wars than a prison break? Doing my Andor rewatch, since it premiered I've always felt like Andor doesn't seem like Star Wars yet TOTALLY FEELS like Star Wars! It'll be very methodical & suddenly does something that has you go, that's so Star Wars!
