I’m really struggling to see what Din’s future really looks like as we movie from season three and into the Mando and Grogu movie. Help me out and drop a comment on what you think Din’s future holds!

Even from the very beginning, I was obsessed with Darth Maul. To see what he’s become in the lore of Star Wars is proof that Dave Filoni and the creative team truly know what they’re doing.

Hot take: The High Republic is the best-written Star Wars in decades.
The Jedi feel real. The villains haunt you. The galaxy feels alive again.

If you’re not reading it, you’re missing peak Star Wars.

@markhamillofficial.bsky.social apprectiation post! The way the Hamill plays Luke doesn’t get the accolades it deserves for its nuance, relatability, and ability to bring the audience into the galaxy. Words could never fully encapsulate what he pulled off playing Luke Skywalker.

The way A New Hope, and the original trilogy overall, is set up is so that Han is who we want to be, but Luke is who we are. Great part is that they need each other as much as we need community to thrive.

I had the opportunity to sit down with @ekjohnston.bsky.social to talk about world-building, character development, and the thought processes behind putting together a book for an IP versus original fiction.

Can we talk more about Han’s redemption arc and how it helped save the galaxy? Because it doesn’t get enough credit.

This is a really great exploration of the morality surrounding the droids' rights debate that has circled Star Wars for decades. The context it gives is powerful, and makes it well worth the read! clashingsabers.net/2025/06/06/n...
