Any form of cult of personality is a bit odd to me. Some fans will idolize people with no questions asked. Am I happy that someone who recycles and self-references stuff all the time and seems incapable of letting go of his characters is in charge of Star Wars? Not really?

My Star Wars highlights of 2025 Star Wars celebration in what is basically my second home considering I’m there anyway once or twice a year Andor S02 The Empire Strips Back performance in London Visiting Andor filming locations in Spain and UK Biker Scout costume approval and troop with my son

Current acquisition No.2 Do you know what it is? It's these funny little cuts on the side that give it away.

Current acquisition No.1 - if Disney doesn’t do a #theforceawakens event I will. When I saw this reduced at a drugstore I had to buy it. Not only because I just rewatched the movie and had almost forgotten how good it is. #poedameron #blackleader #bb8

Star Wars edition: I was watching the surprise performance of John Williams at Star Wars Celebration Orlando standing right next to Hayden Christensen and Ian McDiarmid like this (even though they were on left so it was mirrored):

Just a reminder “the radical left scum” took down the empire.

Rewatching #theforceawakens and it's crazy how much they set up that Finn is force sensitive and some sort of previous relationship between Kylo and Rey (siblings, cousins,..) and I think my biggest TLJ criticism is how much Rian Johnson decided to ignore all that.

Dad? ..I know As a father and a son who had a difficult father/son relationship this scene wrecks me.

Corporate franchise strategy. Bring back a fan favorite no matter if he’s dead, evil or if it makes sense. Good news for Hunt for Ben Solo fans, they seem to get their ideas from the toxic incel underbelly of fandom on Twitter and Reddit, so keep campaigning.

And I picked that up locally (!) yesterday. One sheet teaser posted for #theforceawakens given out at #starwarscelebration Anaheim in 2015 and Orlando patch from 2017. I was there but stupidly didn’t buy the patch. This goes straight on my ‘look at all the celebrations I’ve been to’ jacket sleeve.

Got protective cases for these two babies after I saw the value on eBay. MOC and Terror Claw Skeletor (coincidentally my favorite MOTU next to Scareglow) even unpunched. It’s a miracle I still have those after 4 moves. #motu #mastersoftheuniverse #skeletor #mattel

Not going to see a movie I’m absolutely not interested in to see a new trailer of the Star Wars movie I’m least hyped about. Looks cool tho, even if it’s once again a lot of fan service Easter eggs instead of something fresh. Still gonna watch this multiple times obviously.

Rewatching #theforceawakens Different times. Having a bunch of overzealous, bootlicking, submissive neonazis follow some shriveled old supreme leader, cruelly following his instructions without any objections, moral compass or sense of irony seemed far fetched 10 years ago. Now it feels prophetic.

‘I don’t care what anyone says I like that movie’ #starwars

Just a few impressions from 10 years ago and a few in a long list of tickets to see #theforceawakens in cinemas (must’ve been 20 times or so). If you own this soundtrack my name is on the poster. Anyone else? #starwars

Back from Spain visiting Indiana Jones locations and here we go. #indianajones #filminglocations #indianajonesandthelastcrusade 1. the beach scene is probably one of the most well known Indy landmarks in Almeira Spain.

Walking into 2026:

RIP Peter Greene, the only Hollywood actor who ever invited me to party..

Just when I thought I couldn't admire the man more... 🎯 🎯 🎯 💯 💯 💯 👍 👍 👍

This is the kind of obscure detail I’m here for!

Can’t wait to be sent to some black site prison without due process for my social media posts (fuck Trump) and ‘gang tattoos’. Jk. Absolutely not traveling to the US until you guys had your version of the Nuremberg trials.

Mood

Today in ‘finding Star Wars in random places’: the science museum in Granada / Spain has this in a section about how space exploration and astronauts inspired toys. No explanation, no sign, just: Batuu Coke Light. #galaxysedge #batuu #starwars

Traveling and stopping at filming locations. Can you guess where I was today? #conan #conanthebarbarian #arnoldschwarzenegger #thulsadoom

Not doing something remotely Star Wars related and still trying to squeeze some far fetched connection in. I present you: Blue Milk Frogs. Does that count?

Coca Cola cans of Spain

We, the podracing association of Malastare, hereby award the galactic emperor Sheev Palpatine the podracing peace price of the galaxy.

What do these movies have in common? They filmed in the same location. And I’m going there tomorrow. Stay tuned. #filminglocations

My son is doing a lot of pre-Xmas crafting these days and had some brown and orange polymer clay left so I had an idea. That was fun. Turned out better than expected. #ewok

No surprises

One of the few #starwars things I found in Seoul were these blind boxes with small assembly kits. Put together they ended up being a bit bigger than vintage Kenner and I’m very happy with what I got (it was only characters from the Mandalorian show).

‘I think The Force Awakens wasn’t good and it’s gonna be the new Phantom Menace and not stand the test of time’- random dude in a mall noticing my shirt 10 years ago. You were wrong back then and you’re wrong now.

Reminder that I still have a few of those left and even ship to the US even if its a hassle and expensive.. ko-fi.com/eveevangel/s...

While I don’t do many photo ops anymore (I already have hundreds), I couldn’t pass up the chance to meet these two icons at German Comic Con #rogueone #andor #starwars

I absolutely loved this #indianajones booth at German Comic Con!!!

Day 2 of German Comic Con. Managed to get into costume and considering my 4yo took those photos I’d say not a bad day. He even got into his Gonk Droid later to show it to @tim-griesbach.bsky.social of the @501stgg.bsky.social

When international conventions have local dub voice actors as ‘special guests’.. AITA? Credit where credit is due but,..

At German Comic Con with my little Gonk Droid. He just ran out of power so I can finally take pictures.

Every outpost needs its Biker Scout. We now have one. Congratulations TB-90019!

Anyone here attending the German Comic Con in Stuttgart this weekend? www.comiccon.de

Congrats to me I guess. Costume #16 www.501st.com/members/disp...

Didn’t think the trailer looked convincing but after I read some positive posts here I decided to watch it and boy am I glad I did. Awesome movie. Looks like the franchise has found its Filoni.

OK, I’m ready to be told my opinions suck. 1. The Empire Strikes Back 2. A New Hope 3. Return of the Jedi 4. Rogue One 5. The Force Awakens 6. The Phantom Menace 7. Solo 8. Revenge of the Sith 9. The Rise of Skywalker 10. Attack of the Clones 11. The Last Jedi

Can I get some love for #gonkdroids ? It’s my son’s very first troop and costume. He wanted to do it. I helped him, but he picked the color and committed to it. Got into it both days even though it’s heavy and has low visibility. What a trooper. See what I did there? Must’ve gotten it from his mom.
