I know many of us are scared and hurting right now in the US but if I’ve learned anything from Tech, it’s that we aren’t alone in our struggles. Never lose compassion and empathy for others; never give in to tyranny and oppression. Hope dies Last my friends, and we have to keep fighting #thebadbatch

I just published a review of the awesome #StarWars novel, Sanctuary by @lamargiles.bsky.social. Featuring the cast of #TheBadBatch, Sanctuary was an outstanding novel that I couldn't get enough of. Highly recommended, especially on audiobook.

It’s been two years and I am still taking my little Tech figurine on adventures with me. I call it a peaceful protest for better and happier endings in a world that needs more hope - #TechLives

The idea that a person surviving a sacrifice lessens the sacrifice is gross.
The fact the character is willing to save another is what ultimately matters, not that it results in a corpse.

Sacrifice in fiction being this be all end all goal for characters that can't ever be walked back or questioned is imo very silly.
Kylo Ren is a phenomenal character, but his story after The Rise of Skywalker is over for a reason, so please don't bring him back
Bringing Kylo Ren back would be a fundamental misunderstanding of Rise of Skywalker's best scene

Articles like these are good reminders that Lucasfilm is not a independent studio and are owned by a parent company ala Disney.
Not every bad thing that happens in this franchise is necessary Lucasfilms's fault.
Remember that next time we start critiquing them.

Legendary artist Drew Struzan has sadly passed away at the age of 78 after a battle with Alzheimer’s Disease.
Struzan designed the posters for the original 6 Star Wars movies. He also created iconic posters for Back to the Future, Blade Runner, Indiana Jones, and more.

I finally canceled Disney+. After they sacrificed Tech from #TheBadBatch, Star Wars just hasn’t felt the same for me. Then, when I saw both Tech and Echo were excluded in #RebuildtheGalaxy and knowing what ABC did to Kimmel, I felt it was time 😔
