Happy New Year from all of us on the Batuu Pride staff! 🌈✨ May the year ahead be filled with joy, laughter, belonging, and love. Bright suns, safe travels wherever your journey takes you, and may the Force be with you—always.

…and, another holiday segment from the archives, captured from Osborne Spectacle of Dancing Lights. Merry Winter Holidays, whichever you may observe.

From the Haus of JoeZer, to all of you…

Bright Suns! We’re just one week away from our Life Day meetup at Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Come join us for a galactic celebration of Family, Joy, and Harmony at the edge of the galaxy. More info coming… - Joe (@joelozano.bsky.social) #BatuuPride #LifeDay

Here comes Star Wars & Disney Store online tempting me into adopting a lothcat… www.starwars.com/news/disney-...

Thoughts still falling into place after my viewing of TRON: Ares. #tron #tronares #thegrid

Coming out isn’t easy, and for some, it takes time — and that’s okay. Just know that whenever you’re ready, you’re never alone. Happy #NationalComingOutDay 🌈 If you’d like to support LGBTQIA+ orgs + queer artists head to our Threadless — 100% goes to charity! www.threadless.com/@BatuuPride

Over on their Twi/X feed, @laughingplace.com has posted some info released about Hasbro’s TRON line being done under the HasLab banner. Announcement made at NYCC. ◎ ◎ ◎ ◎ ◎ #tron #tronlegacy #hasbro #haslab #nycc

Seems over in the other place, Mr HiRez is using his subsidiary account to post something like this…and reveling in the adverse reactions it is getting… My stocks of gasteds to be flabbered are in no way surprised seeing this from him.

Oooo…the voice of JoeZer…??

What was once bare bones, has now been updated to be more fleshed out. Time to go a-tapping and such!

For those of a mind, the DragonCon app has begun operation for 2025. It is bare bones at the moment, but it is live. Have fun updating. Should anyone desire to pop me as a friend in the app, zap me a DM via this platform…

The JoeZer has landed at the Fox. There appears to be an Imperial presence here already (courtesy of the GA garrrison of the 501st Legion)…

Hi, howdy, hey, y’all!! JoeZer here! Today is the day for the showing of Star Wars at The Fabulous Fox Theatre in Midtown Atlanta. I have an extra ticket available if you’re in the metro Atlanta area & can get to the Fox by 7:15pm (movie starts at 7:30pm). Send a DM to Batuu Pride to claim.

This coming Friday, the wooly Bantha we call JoeZer (@joezer.bsky.social) will be on the ground at the Fox Theatre in Midtown Atlanta to see a Star War. Join him, if you will. Find him in the lobby and you could get a 2025 Batuu Pride button!

Quickie, “off planet” @batuupride.bsky.social meet on Friday 7/25/2025 in Atlanta, GA. Come on by if in the region!

Be loud. Be proud. Be undeniably you! Our favorite smuggler of churros snapped this during his outing to the Rainbow Coconut Club 🌈🥥 #batuupride #batuupride2025 #bethespark

Most can be gently fixed with pliers (no need to summon the full power of the dark side). If yours breaks or feels too damaged, email us at [email protected]—we may be able to help. May the Force (and your mailbox) be gentler next time. 💫 2/2

Dank Farrik!!! 🤬 Some of our 2025 New Rebels pins have arrived with slightly bent pin backs. Our apologies—USPS got a little rough this round. 1/2

The 2025 @batuupride.bsky.social enamel pins are beginning to arrive at their destinations. Again, my personal thanks to those who donated towards this year’s charity and claiming a pin for yourselves. May the Spires keep you, and may the Force be with you. #batuupride #batuupride2025

Update from @batuupride.bsky.social regarding the limited edition 2025 pins. My thanks to all who have either claimed pins or shared the word about them.

Something for our Atlanta area pallies & allies to consider for a classic SW at the cinema evening. #batuupride2025 #atlanta #fabulousfoxtheatre #starwars

So…if any of my WDW AP locals were of a mind, and didn’t want it for themselves, I would dearly appreciate one of her being grabbed for me, please. 🥹👉🏻👈🏻 *puppy eyes*

They’re still a few spaces left to claim your 2025 Batuu Pride enamel pin. 😉 Tick tock. Tick tock.

BUT we will post Option #2 on our Threadless account later this week, as an option for shirts, buttons and other merch, all to benefit @transequality.bsky.social! 2/2

We’ve tallied the votes about the pin options — Facebook votes leaned slightly towards Option #2, but Instagram, Bluesky & Email votes from current pin reservations leaned towards Option #1. SO… Option #1 is what we will move forward with for our final pin order! 1/2

We’re inching closer to our goal of 50 pin reservations to begin production. My thanks, on behalf of my peers at @batuupride.bsky.social and myself for all that have claimed a pin reservation and/or have helped spread the word.

We're up to TWENTY reservations -- we can't put our pins into production until we get at least 50 rsvp's, so put yours in today! The sooner we start the order, the sooner everyone will get their pin! :)
