My journey as a Star Wars writer began when I read the JEDI PRINCE series.

In 1995, my dad and I met one of the artist @junebrigman.bsky.social and commissioned an illustration of Luke.

30 years later, almost to the day, I, now a Star Wars author, commissioned a companion piece of Rey.

To make up for how Power Rangers is an old Japanese show they filmed additional scenes with Americans for we should do the opposite and make the casts of Law & Order SVU and Grey’s Anatomy stop a couple times an episode to fight people in werewolf costumes
