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

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

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 · 6d

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.

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 · 17d

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 · 21d

#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

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

Such an incredible story and some truly surprising moments. I sure hope we get that final chapter in their story.

“Come on, when have I ever let you down?”

I love this line from Cody in Revenge of the Sith. It was the tiniest glance into the idea of Clones being more than we were shown at the time. Just one line of humor, history, and loyalty. Makes it even harder to hear this then think of Order 66. #StarWars

JP the Jedi @jpthejedi.bsky.social · 25d

Hail to Captain Fordo, one of the first recognizable Clone troopers on screen … and king of being a badass on the field with no lines, stunning hand talk and tactics coordination. #StarWars

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

I’ll never forget all those years ago when I watched the 2003 Clones Wars saw Mace crush Grievous’ chest. I was like: SO THAT’S HOW IT HAPPENED.

I didn’t need an answer and the answer has evolved. Regardless, I love how for all of his power, Grievous was bested by one precise move. #StarWars

JP the Jedi @jpthejedi.bsky.social · 29d

For as much as I still love the 2003 #CloneWars, it represents a big growth point for me. I use to think the fancy tricks and massive power levels of the force used to destroy was what a Jedi was.

No longer is that my view. A Jedi is a defender of life, an emissary to the vast web of connection.

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

Very enjoyable trailer. Love the slightly spooky vibes, the more muted colors, giving a unique vibe like the other two. And another impressive cast. Excited for another #KnivesOut mystery.

JP the Jedi @jpthejedi.bsky.social · Sep 7

I remember learning about the dislike people had for the nick names Ahsoka gave people when she was young. I figured her word for droids … tinnies … must have been maligned too.

Imagine my surprise when I found that same nickname used in a book released four years before the show. #StarWars
