Me this morning:
The force is strong with EW & Ewan McGregor! For our final print cover before going all-digital, we’re all in on #ObiWanKenobi, revealing first look episodic images of McGregor as Kenobi, Joel Edgerton as Uncle Owen, and a fearsome new #StarWars villain.

How it started vs. How it’s going. On the left is my childhood copy of the original Star Wars novelizations. On the right is my book, Skywalker: A Family At War. That kid reading about her favorite characters could not have even imagined she’d one day get to write about them.

George Lucas out here wearing his worst reviews on a damn T-shirt because who cares? 😂 I love this energy.

Two years ago today, this very day, I walked into Lucasfilm for the first time to start my new job with the online team. My face says “Can you believe THIS?!?” Sometimes, I still can’t wrap my head around it. Happy anniversary to a place I love more than I could possibly imagine.

Remember how the Jedi peacekeepers joined in the brutality of the war instead of deescalating the conflict and it gave rise to the Empire but also birthed the Rebellion?

Holding my first book for the first time. No makeup, no hair routine, no ring light, no script. Just a moment of pure joy captured by @heyyydrea, and a feeling of accomplishment. Still one of the most beautiful covers I have ever seen by @Cakes_Comics.
Show me a picture where you were completely happy and nothing else mattered but that moment.

If #LightAndMagic proves anything, it’s that talent without ego and the openness to share techniques and try and fail together is what ultimately gets us to the point of breaking new ground and succeeding beyond our wildest dreams.

It was a joy to sit down with @kateesackhoff last week to talk about her debut on #themandalorian as Bo-Katan Kryze. Katee is warm, humble, hilarious, and I am so pleased to see her continue on as an important part of the #StarWars family.

Happy #StarWarsDay! We all know Mark Hamill is a delight as he recounts stories at Celebration and he’s a master of voice acting. I had the great fortune to interview him recently and was treated to amazing stories, impressions, AND SINGING!

Last night I continued my tradition of going to visit my book (The Art of #StarWars: The High Republic) in the wild on release day, and let me tell you it’s one of my favorite parts of the writing process. If you’ve ever wanted to go to a bookshop with me, here’s what it’s like…

I have trouble answering this question myself so I am curious — If you had to choose, who is your all-time favorite #StarWars character? As much as I love Ackbar and Rey and Han and Leia and C-3PO and Chewie, I would pick. Yoda.

Nothing but respect for George Lucas, his legacy, and the example he sets as a human being.
Why did George Lucas sell Lucasfilm in 2012? He tells me why in this extract from my new book The #StarWars Archives Eps I-III. My unboxing video here:

One year: A few days after we started working from home last March the city shut down. Everything ground to a halt, yet somehow a lot has happened since then. I interviewed George Lucas and wrote my first book about the family of space wizards that he brought to life.

If Leia had been trained by Yoda (instead of him training Luke), she would have stayed to finish what she started instead of rushing to face Vader.
What's your most controversial Star Wars opinion?.

Moments later a lovely young man asked me “are you the Star Wars lady?” and I am now answering to that FYI because it’s a wonderful feeling to be associated with something I love so dearly. To be fair, all three of us are the Star Wars ladies. And we are all the Republic!.

After a wonderful and action-packed few days leading to #starwarsday, it’s Revenge of the Fifth! Who’s your favorite #StarWars villain? . My vote is for Tarkin. He’s back for #TheBadBatch and he’s.
