Tomorrow 😍😍😍

My Star Wars books newsletter is out! 📚 There are TWO SW bookish panels next Friday — here’s what you need to know. Plus, other fun stuff! starwarslitpod.substack.com/p/sdcc-lucas...

Resisting the millennial urge to post cryptic status updates by maybe helping you feel hopeful instead 🤣🤣🤣 megdowell.com/2026/07/15/g...

I see from my feed that the review embargo on LEGACY lifted today. :) It's a great read. The highest praise I can give it, and those who know me will know this is high praise indeed, is that @authoroux.bsky.social absolutely nailed Leia's voice. The book is a wonderful showcase for Leia and Rey.

Remember when @charlessoule.bsky.social was kind enough to talk with me about THR “finale”? That was fun!!!!! open.spotify.com/episode/3K6g...

Excellent read by Meg

This is it.

Happy Saturday 📚📚📚

My Star Wars books newsletter is out! 📚 Previewing my chat with @authoroux.bsky.social, plus recounting my Jedi Outcast (re)playthrough because we’re having FUN this summer gosh darn it! starwarslitpod.substack.com/p/why-im-thr...

Hey Meta I have a question! Why are you like this

We’re so lucky to have @authoroux.bsky.social writing Star Wars 🥰 Also good news! I can still interview, and not badly either! Small victories!

This was fun! Listening, I went from “Oh God what did I say?” to “Huh that wasn’t totally stupid.” Enjoyed revisiting it!

I’ve been struggling with this privately, and it doesn’t hurt to discuss it publicly. megdowell.com/2026/07/08/w...

Every time this happens to me I feel a small burst of hope for humanity

“My Career Was Going Well, Then Corporations and Billionaires Ruined Every Industry I Liked to Work In: A Memoir”

Watching this game with my Bosnian husband like ⚽️⚽️⚽️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🔥🔥🔥

So are the Dark Forces books REALLY GOOD or…?

This week on @starwarslitpod.bsky.social — rebroadcasting one of several awesome interviews with the wonderful @tessagratton.bsky.social 📚 open.spotify.com/episode/5r3y...

My Star Wars TBR is absolutely out of control 🙃 so I’m going to keep powering through this series even if it crushes me

Started writing something about my dad today, maybe with a Star Wars lens Maybe you’ll get to read it soon. Somewhere that doesn’t care about it not being Father’s Day anymore, if such an outlet exists. Grief does not bend to the wills of editorial calendars, unfortunately

NEW from me on @clashingsabers.bsky.social: LOW RED MOON by @mikechenwriter.bsky.social is a game changer. I write about *finally* getting a Star Wars story with a droid's POV, what one line reveals about how we gender droids, and what it means that droids are often written as neurodivergent.

How many Toy Stories is too many Toy Stories? Why are 8-year-old girls so mean?? WHERE IS THE PIXAR SHORT?! All this and more in our latest movie chat! www.patreon.com/starwarslitp...

A timely excerpt from #StarWars #ReignoftheEmpire #EdgeoftheAbyss. This is - in part - a book about parents & children. And what one generation leaves for the next. Ultimate gird-dad Bail Organa and Leia listen to some (Core) pop music. And we meet a new character... inverse.com/entertainmen...

I don’t know what stage of grief this is but I just looked up where to buy golf balls in bulk so I can fill my front yard with them this weekend, my dad would’ve thought that was dumb but in a ha ha kind of way

Re-released my interview with the author on Now This Is Lit 📚 it’s been nice revisiting some of these conversations while I’m resting/healing (from life honestly being nonstop nightmares this year). I hope you’re enjoying the show! New episodes will be back in August, probably…

I am very passionate in my hatred of movie adaption covers
