Hopped over to Outpost 77 this weekend for a quick visit, and spotted a few familiar faces....

The Cosbi Logray bag plush has his crystal image spinner from Caravan of Courage & the Ewoks cartoon series!

Nobody informed me that the shuttle from Starcruiser makes an appearance in the updated Smugglers Run:

The Mandalorian deserves more than being a retcon overlay slapped on top of an existing concept, and the Millennium Falcon deserves to be more than a synergistic consolation proxy for the Razor Crest.

The "Red Jammer" Y-Wing in Mando & Grogu isn't just a reference to the unfinished model created for Star Wars in 1977.... It's literally that model, shot on a motion control rig. Restored by John Goodson for the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, George gave permission for it to be used in the film.

I'm a Fanzellan.

Just the other day I mentioned to my wife, "there's a masseuse in Star Wars who secretes truth serum out of his hands to get criminals to confess while massaging them." I always knew Lexo Sooger would return, but I never expected it to be in Supergirl. Anyway, read CANTO BIGHT, it's great.

In retrospect, the most remarkable thing about the backstory crafted for Galaxy's Edge is that it escaped WDI's befuddling addiction to acronyms.

What the people want: a Rotta fashion doll and an accessory pack with a mermaid tail.

Neither D-BOX nor 4DX rumbled the seats when the massage droids were on screen. Missed opportunity.

Imagine winning a Grammy for music you wrote for a theme park and then the theme park decides they want your old stuff you didn't write for them instead.

The Mandalorian and Grogu (2026)

The king has returned.

Silent legacy.

Happy Orthodox Star Wars Day! Here’s to all the artists that brought that universe to life, and inspired the rest of us who wanted to play in it…

Happy Star Wars Day (Orthodox)

This is how Jon Favreau’s own family story shaped The Mandalorian and Grogu. “He was a single dad and I lost my mom when I was young…” This conversation changed the way I looked at the bounty hunter and his little green son. #StarWars #Filmsky www.esquire.com/entertainmen...

No-context Mando & Grogu spoilers:

Please transport me to the timeline where this happened. youtu.be/iX5Ny2rgVqk?...

The only review you need to hear of The Mandalorian And The Grogu is this 10-year-old kid hyped about "Buff Stinky" and thinking the movie is too short while his dad tries to talk about matinee serials, Kurosawa, and the movie being too long. Bless you, @fullofsith.bsky.social.

I will follow Drash anywhere.

I'd like to tell you how delightful the quests are in the expansive Navarro map surrounding Fortnite's Mandalorian watch party island, but they've disabled screenshots. Hopefully the Black Spire Outpost map they teased last year still manifests, with as much loving detail as they gave this.

It's not every day you stumble onto B-roll from Attack of the Clones that you've never seen before. George has some saber skills.

Had I been there, it would have been me. (Bless you for reporting, @vividlittlevox.bsky.social.)

The fandom's ability to learn from the arc of its own history will be tested this week. Dare to be cute.

Jon Favreau's pronunciation of the word "because" is my new vocal stim.

Finally, a sandwich will be assembled on screen in a Star War.

2019: "Hondo is the newest proprietor in Black Spire Outpost. Here's an entire book, video game, and comic detailing how he made his way to Batuu and convinced Chewbacca to lend him the Millennium Falcon." 2026: "Hondo has been standing in the same spot for the past 30 years and hasn't aged."

Really enjoyed Maul Shadow Lord, but it would've been an all-timer Star Wars show for me if it was two episodes shorter and had a synth-metal score.

"It's not Tony Gilroy's fault that he only had books as a child to play with."

Spotted a Mando movie billboard on the replica Chinese Theater a few weeks before I'll see it in the real one!

Clinging to a liminal sense of "immersion" within this newly fractured timeline is folly. It's full immersion, or it's Hyperspace Hoopla. Rigorous dedication to canon, or freewheeling chaotic fun. This middle ground, with all the costs of immersion and none of the benefits, is deeply embarrassing.

For a decade, Knott’s Berry Farm has anchored their busy summer season with the interactive “Ghost Town Alive” experience. The idea that no one wants this is just patently, observably untrue, but Disney need people to believe it to justify their refusal to invest in immersive play.

"Galaxy’s Edge was never broken. It just needed Disney to be a better steward and to fully support the ambitions of its Imagineers." — @toddmartens.bsky.social

Remember when they would celebrate the ending of a chapter? Those times are long gone, so I decided to do it myself.

Attended the most deliciously rowdy screening of THE LAST JEDI hosted by the "Save The Hunt For Ben Solo" fan campaign at The Frida Cinema, and I loved every minute of it. To mark the occasion, my most unhinged T-shirt yet: Kylo Ren making a poncho out of a lizard from the Legacy of Vader comic!

Setting aside the weaponized racism and misogyny, the key to understanding the STAR WARS sequel trilogy (and specifically LAST JEDI) backlash is realizing that there is a whole generation of STAR WARS fans who are mostly invested in tie-in books that bear very little resemblance to original films.

Wear your Mando Crown to opening night. Pass it around.

Them: Are you excited about the Mandalorian movie? Me: Yes, watching a knight in shining armor and his wizard frog baby murder runaway nazis sounds like exactly what I need right about now.

I hope during this promotional tour someone asks Favreau why his corner of the Star Wars universe hasn't been permitted to expand in publishing.
