What does your favorite Star Wars book say about you? 📚 On today’s @starwarslitpod.bsky.social podcast, I challenge you to think deeper about why you love your favorite stories and what that means for your real life.

Anyone else feel like by not using all the apps we’re all agreeing to not use we’re isolating ourselves from each other and making it harder to—wait…

One thing the TikTok ban discourse has not included is that many TikTok creators privately do not like TikTok, which of course they’re not saying because none of us want it banned. It’s a brutal creative ecosystem that extracts from creators until they burnout and then they are replaced.

This and other Star Wars books turn 10 this year! 📚 I walk you through the list on today’s @starwarslitpod.bsky.social episode.

It took 13 months but 🥹 I finally have her

Seems fitting that Google says the people I email the most are, in order of frequency: my husband, Random House publicists, and my dog’s vet

I go over the books coming out in 2025 (so far) in today’s @starwarslitpod.bsky.social episode 📚

I could’ve been a food photographer

Star Wars Funko number duplicating has significantly increased and I do not like it

I wasn’t going to post this, but it felt too important not to. A Star Wars show has never had this intense of an effect on me. A Star Wars show has also never voiced the exact experiences of my childhood through a character. KB was me. Star Wars did that. dorksideoftheforce.com/skeleton-cre...

The next great #StarWars series begins in Feb #ReignoftheEmpire starts during the first year (the first weeks) of Imperial rule. There are no rebels. There are no alliances. Only ordinary people trying to survive, and what happens when survival isn't enough? If you love #Andor, you'll love this.
