Hello there! I’m an avid Star Wars fan who loves discussing every corner of the galaxy far far away. This is a positive space where all opinions and walks of life are welcomed. I’ll dip into other movies and tv shows as well! Excited to be here and hopefully have great discussions! #StarWars

It seems like only yesterday that Chopper met his grumpy BFF AP-5. How they got on each other’s nerves … and then AP-5 sacrificed himself for his friend and saved Phoenix Squad. And then Chopper sacrificed his new strut for his friend. So much sacrifice and love for two grumpy droids! 🥹 #StarWars

I don’t know what it is, but I love when we see groups of imperials greeting a high ranking individual. Maybe it’s because I’m dying to know what’s going on in their heads as they stand there listening to these conversations. #StarWars

Beautiful. I’m so jealous of that action figure. I’ll have to find one sometime.

Lucasfilm Publishing never misses when it comes to New York Comic Con reveals. I’m so excited by so much of this. A novel featuring Rey and Leia, a comic about Jar Jar and Kellaran, the new manga and some of the Art of stuff. All of it excites me so much. Publishing always will. #StarWars

I’ve never watched Camp Cretaceous. But if it’s making bigoted idiots mad, it has my immediate support. There is NOTHING corrupting about showing kids all walks of life, all experiences. It’s those who cannot handle their hatred and discomfort that are trying to corrupt. #JurassicPark

“Shared purpose, shared pain. But mostly… shared strength.”

I’m beyond capacity in my patience for #MightyNein to reach our screens. I love Vox Machina and I can already tell I’m gonna love this too. A whole new colorful cast of characters with likely some heavy baggage to push through. Give me!

“In every man, there are many men. Be brave … be just … be TALL.”

This is a part of #GameofThrones that I know the least about and I was no less pulled in. I love how this has a tone and setup different from the others. More humorous, with a pair of misfits finding their way. Count me in!

Grogu stopping Paz and Axe fighting, pleading with the innocence and hope of a child to let go of petty differences and see each other as people, to come together rather than split apart, will forever be one of the most thematically rich moments in #StarWars to me.

After hearing from Bryce Dallas Howard, Natasha Liu Bordizzo, and others talk about there excitement for Season 2 of Ahsoka, the grand scale, and principal photography wrapping, I can only speak of my excitement.

The thrill of the unknown coming, the wonder of what this journey will entail. #Ahsoka

JP the Jedi @jpthejedi.bsky.social · 8d

I’m quite happy with it.

I don’t collect a ton of figures myself at the moment. But this beautiful 3 3/4 vintage of Merrin was too wonderful to pass up! #StarWars

A good mentor is someone who comes to you in a moment of need. Who talks you through what can be done better while still giving you self worth. Who pushes you with care, encouraging your best.

A bad mentor is one who berates, belittles you, never celebrating and punishes you for failure. #StarWars

My #SpookySeason watch list for 2025. Just finished one and we’re already off to a great start!

JP the Jedi @jpthejedi.bsky.social · 13d

It’s time I finally talk about for the trailer for #TheMandalorianandGrogu … and it made me smile through and through. Just a teaser, but it looks to be so much fun, with crazy critters and adventure. Seeing Zeb in action filled my heart. And Grogu is doing so much! To me, good signs all around.

I’ve been watching #Daredevil for the first time in a while and I’ve gotta praise the fight scene in ep. 2. Beyond the great choreography, beyond the camera choice, there are little things I appreciate. Matt tilting back on the wall in exhaustion, the stumbles he makes, bad guys getting back up.

JP the Jedi @jpthejedi.bsky.social · 16d

I highly encourage watching the movie Flow. An independent movie made by several international studios, this was a stunningly animated and emotion filled movie. No dialogue, no humans, yet you can’t help but be captivated by these animals and the situation they are in. #Movies

I just read the first book in the Republic Commando series and I enjoyed it. One of my favorite things was seeing just how many things from it would be used in The Clone Wars.

Their training on Kamino, the very earliest interactions between them and Jedi, their uniqueness in the Force. #StarWars

“After the war, I questioned the point of the whole thing. All those men died … and for what?”

Praise the people in #StarWars who found a way out. Those who choose a dark path, choose to focus on anger, hatred, and remain blind to a figure spreading misinformation and discrimination … but managed to get out of it and put good in the world.

Praise the people in real life who follow suit.

I’d love to talk about the new #StarWars trailer or the new show. But for a little bit, I’m not. I’ve been out of the news so I didn’t fully hear or grasp the situation until now, I’m sad to say.

What Disney did to Jimmy Kimmel for simply having freedom of speech isn’t ok. We mustn’t forget it.

JP the Jedi @jpthejedi.bsky.social · 24d

Please let this one clip of joy, warmth, and hope become a full reality. I never thought I’d get to see Kalum and Rayla as parents. Look at their little girl. I’m so happy right now. #TheDragonKing

It really is so much fun to be getting behind the scenes news once more. I hope the first bit of production has started well. I think these two already have an iconic look together that’s going to work well. #StarWars

To this day, I still cannot bring myself to believe that season 1 of #TheCloneWars is not great or it’s something you gotta “get through.”

I think of all these incredible moments. Yoda’s awesome action and inspiring the clones, everything with the Malevolence, Lair of Grievous. It’s all so good.

JP the Jedi @jpthejedi.bsky.social · 27d

#StarWars will never need to prove itself in my eyes. We know how amazing it is. We know what it means to us.

But I cannot hide my satisfaction that Andor won an award for WRITING, and such an important episode at that. So excited for this team, for these wins!

Some new shows I’ve started. I’ve heard great things about them all and I’ve had an enjoyable start. Samurai Jack with a range of tone and incredible action, Fruits Basket encouraging warmth to others, Monster a heartbreaking revelation. Excited to see what happens next. #CurrentlyWatching
